|Fast Food Companies Adjust their Salt Content for their Ho
From: David A Gabel, ENN
Published April 18, 2012 09:23 AM
Fast Food Companies Adjust their Salt Content for their Host Countries
Public health advocates have been stressing for years that a reduction in the consumption of fast food in developed countries is necessary. Many fast foods are processed and contain high amounts of sodium that are unhealthy if consumed in excess. A new study has found that public health advocates have been more successful in some developed countries than others. A team of researchers has found that major fast food companies have adjusted the salt content of their products to be in line with the host country's salt reduction initiatives.
In the North American markets, fast food companies often cite technical issues in their food processing as a barrier to reducing the salt content. According to the recent study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the lower salt content in other countries proves this is not the issue.
The team looked at six fast food companies in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The fast food companies observed include Burger King (Hungry Jack's in Australia), Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and Subway.
They analyzed the sodium content of 2124 different food items from seven product categories. These include breakfast items, burgers, chicken products, pizza, salads, sandwiches, and French fries.
The salt levels in similar foods varied greatly between countries. For example, Canadian and American fast food companies use much higher sodium levels than in the UK and France. Chicken McNuggets in Canada have 2.5 times more sodium than in the UK (600 mg vs. 240 mg).
Excess salt in the diet is linked to high blood pressure and other negative health effects. Countries such as the UK, Ireland, Finland, and Japan have nationwide salt reduction initiatives, and estimates show that the reduced salt intake can lead to lower mortality.
Recent salt reduction efforts have been largely voluntary and not mandated. Another method is labeling certain types of high-sodium foods. However, food companies often argue that there are technical barriers to low-salt production that would involve the installation of new technology and methods into their process lines which, of course, cost money.
Studying other countries highlights the possibility that this change can be made. All it requires is public and government pressure to make it happen.
According to Dr. Norman Campbell of the University of Calgary, one of the study's co-authors, "Canadian companies indicate they have been working to reduce sodium but the high sodium in these foods indicates voluntary efforts aren't working. These high levels indicate failure of the current government approach that leaves salt reduction solely in the hands of industry. Salt reduction programs need to guide industry and oversee it with targets and timelines for foods, monitoring and evaluation, and stronger regulatory measures if the structured voluntary efforts are not effective."
The authors conclude that a widespread reformulation of products to lower levels of salt is required. They believe that it is change that should be introduced gradually over several years in order to minimize consumer backlash.

This is the perfect starter kit for making all sorts of creations. It includes 246 parts consisting of super short, short and medium struts (sticks) and 60 white nodes (balls). These parts are all housed in a clear box with dividers for organized keeping.
Kenzie loves to build so naturally she wanted to get to it. Once we opened the box she started taking out the pieces to build with Hubs. Although the kit came with ideas and instructions for models, we dug right in and just started placing struts into nodes.
We found out early on that the struts need to be pulled out straight of the node. Otherwise the end of the strut would break. Somewhat delicate handling is required. Ironically, it was I who broke the first strut. Each length is identified by a different color and shape at the ends to coordinate with the shape it fits into the node. Kenzie has a blast building and it really gets the family together for some learning and fun. She also carries the box from room to room like a salesman asking what we want out of it. It's the cutest thing.
My creations are not as fancy as Hubs but I am working on it. Sice he wanted to go into architecture in college, this kit was easy to work with for him. Countless configurations can be made and hours of fun is the bonus. Please note that the pieces are small and not intended for children under 3 years of age. Kenzie will be three next month and since we supervise her play, she was fine with the pieces.

Russia Today
December 22, 2008
Researchers predict there will be a surge in the worldwide dependency of robots during the next decade.
The gap between humans and robots is forecast to become significantly smaller as researchers announced that human's social and physical reliance on robotic machines looks set to soar.
Whilst it has previously been considered it will take a long time for robots to match humans and human-controlled technology, it seems the moment is now imminent. As the International Federation of Robotics has stated, the next three years will see a phenomenal rise in the use of robots.
An intensive study into the possible achievements of robots has allowed scientists to surmise there will be an amalgamation between humans and robots. Antonio Lopez Palaez, co-author of the research and a Professor of Sociology at Spain's National Distance Learning University said,
"Just as we depend on mobile phones and cars in our daily lives, the next 15 years will see mass hybridization between humans and robots."
It is believed the leisure and entertainment industries will benefit most from the "robotic revolution". Due to unification between robots, computers and home entertainment there is expected to be a dramatic increase in robots in entertainment by the year 2011.
But their abilities will not stop there. Using robots in a working capacity is not an entirely new practice and is forecast to be exploited. In the US robots are already being employed in logistics support by controlling unmanned vehicles. Whilst pilotless airplanes are being guided by robots, so confident are scientists of the potential of these machines, it has been suggested 40 per cent of the world's armies will be made up of robots by the year 2020. With the rapidly expanding costs of military equipment and qualified soldiers, an army of salary-free robots, will be an attractive alternative.
Robots have usually been associated with science fiction and are often portrayed as villainous. But in direct contrast, the Spanish research suggests people may become reliant on robots on a personal or even a romantic level. According to Palaez,
"A robot may be a more effective partner and a better person than the humans we actually have in our immediate lives. Just as you can see dog owners talking to their pets today, soon we will be talking to robots."
Armies of robots, robotic partners and workforces made up entirely of walking and talking machines, suggests the world may be heading towards a robotic revolution.

I love doing these tutorials. I love Platypuses, and thought, "Why not do a Platypus tutorial?" So I did! Platypuses are the only mammals that lay eggs. The resemble a duck and a beaver at the same time. The have a duck's bill and a beaver's tail and hands. Pretty cool, huh?

Here is something I don't draw on a regular basis, a hero based on the Lego Ninjago series. I know I did one of these figures in the past, but nobody asked for any more tutorials of the characters so I didn't bother making more. Two years passed since I did a Ninjago, so what better way to make another than to do it with a tutorial on "how to draw Kai", step by step? He is the Red Ninja of Fire, and unlike some of the other ninja characters, Kai is only a ninja because he is looking for his sister who has been kidnapped and captured by the evil Lord Garmadon. Some of the cool things about the theme based storyline is how the ninjas use dragon related weaponry like dragon swords, and dragon staffs. Since this is a Lego character, he should be pretty simple to draw. I know you will succeed as you begin drawing Kai from the Lego Ninjago series. Adios people and enjoy!

60 seconds with Marcus Brookes on opportunities after Brexit sell-off
The UK has voted to leave the EU today, which was a bit of a shock to financial markets. We had just spent the last week or so seeing a very nice rally in risk assets - particularly in Europe and the UK, and in financials - as the markets became quite convinced that it was going to be a vote to remain. So today's result is a shock.
Foreign markets likely to be less impacted by Brexit
Now the classic sell-off has been observed - basically all the stuff that had just gone up is now going down quite hard. But we have also seen this contagion affect foreign markets, which on the face of it don't really look like they should be impacted by Brexit.
I am thinking particularly about Japan. Japan overnight was down around 7.5% and it is not obvious to me why Japan would be affected by Brexit, so we are looking to add to that sort of area.
Another area we like would be emerging market equities, something we have spoken about in the past. These are quite cheap, but there is a little bit of weakness in those markets and, again, I don't think that is something which should be impacted by Brexit. So, emerging market equities look quite interesting.
Bonds look expensive, gold may be an opportunity
The area that everyone seems to have flown to has been high quality bonds, which to our minds were already pretty expensive, so we are staying away from there. But gold could be quite interesting, up 5% as sterling has fallen, and I can see us adding to some holdings in those areas.

Caleb Charland newest photography project features mesmerizing light displays using mostly fruit, a nail, copper wire, and the long exposure technique. These organic batteries produce enough of a current for Charland to capture the light's illumination in these long exposure photographs.
"My current body of work, Back to Light, expands upon a classic grade school science project, the potato battery. By inserting a galvanized nail into one side of a potato and a copper wire in the other side a small electrical current is generated. The utter simplicity of this electrical phenomenon is endlessly fascinating for me. Many people have had the experience of drawing power from fruit in the classroom, and it never ceases to bring a smile to the face or a thought to the mind. This work speaks to a common curiosity we all have for how the world works as well as a global concern for the future of earth's energy sources…my hope is that these photographs function as micro utopias by suggesting and illustrating the endless possibilities of alternative and sustainable energy production. The cycle that begins with the light of our closest star implanting organic materials with nutrients and energy, is re-routed in these images, Back to Light, illuminating earth once again." (via this isn't happiness)

Dr. Groves calls a software change from two years ago a "late change" in operations strategy. MyTwoCensus says this is nonsense.Saturday, May 1st, 2010
Earlier today, the Associated Press released a short article (below) that discusses the Census Bureau's repeated paper-based operations control system failures. In response to Census Bureau Director Robert M. Groves' comment that, "the problems stem from a late change from a handheld device system to the paper-based system" I can simply point to a response I just received from Michael Cook, Chief of the Decennial Media Relations Branch at the Census Bureau's Public Information Office. Cook wrote me, "The change to a paper-based NRFU operation ordered two years ago by then-Commerce Secretary Gutierrez, required us to develop PBOCS in a compressed time-frame." Now, this makes no sense. TWO YEARS IS NOT A COMPRESSED TIME FRAME. It is a ridiculously long amount of time to use engineers to tweak and test a system to make it perfect. Once again, the Census Bureau's IT failures are pathetic and unaccepptable in the year 2010.
LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Government Accountability Office says a computer system needed to finish the 2010 census may not be up to the job.
GAO Strategic Issues Director Robert Goldenkoff said Friday before a congressional hearing in Los Angeles that the Paper Based Operations Control System hasn't demonstrated the ability to meet peak requirements of the census as it seeks to count residents who did not return forms by mail.
Census Director Robert Groves says in a statement that the problems stem from a late change from a handheld device system to the paper-based system.
He says the system has worked well so far but that the agency is not out of the woods yet.
The GAO says the Census Bureau is otherwise well-positioned to finish the door-to-door count, which begins Saturday.

Perhaps more than any other Jewish festival, Passover is about telling stories. At the Seder, or ceremonial dinner, that takes place Monday on the first night of the holiday, Jews around the world will retell the biblical tale of the Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt.
It's a serious story with complicated themes — persecution, redemption, freedom. The food and traditions that have grown up around Passover are equally complex. Fortunately, there's a bevy of books that can make sense of everything from Moses to matzo for children (and, to be honest, their parents).
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
After considering books about a Passover parrot, a matzo-making little red hen, a Seder-seeking magician and many more, here are five of my 3-year-old's favorites — and mine, too.
"Not Yet, Elijah!" by Harriet K. Feder, illustrated by Joan Halpern (1989)
Hollywood loves Moses, the central character in the Exodus story. In this book, though, Elijah, the prophet who is invited into every home during the Seder — and who has his own cup of wine — gets his due. Eventually. The black-and-white drawings are basic, but the rhymes and refrains will have your young one eager to join in the chorus directed at the impatient prophet who has arrived too soon: "Elijah, please, not yet!"
"Sammy Spider's First Passover," by Sylvia A. Rouss, illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn (1995)
Sammy may not celebrate Passover — as his mother repeatedly reminds him — but that hasn't stopped him from appearing in a series of books related to Jewish holidays. In this installment, Sammy watches a family's Seder, picks up some Passover basics, then helps a boy find the afikomen, the piece of matzo that is hidden and must be found after the meal. The beautiful collage illustrations, reminiscent of Eric Carle, steal the show.
"Izzy the Whiz and Passover McClean," by Yael Mermelstein, illustrated by Carrie Hartman (2012)
A boy invents a robot to clean his house of chametz, carbo-loaded foods forbidden at Passover, just in time for the holiday. Like Izzy's machine, the Dr. Seuss-like rhymes are "Super-McDuper" — and clever too. While kids laugh at the funny words and the colorful, action-filled pictures of a robot gone awry, adults can grin at the mom who gets a "bread-ache" just thinking about how much cleaning needs to be done.
"Penny and the Four Questions," by Nancy E. Krulik, illustrated by Marian Young (1993)
Latest Books
Penny's dated hairdo is a little sad, but that's nothing compared to how she feels when she learns that a young immigrant invited to her family's Seder may replace her in reciting the ceremonial Four Questions. With prose that is straightforward and childlike, accompanied by soft, warm illustrations, this book offers young readers a lesson in empathy and friendship; for adults, its poignancy is enough to draw tears.
"Only Nine Chairs: A Tall Tale for Passover," by Deborah Uchill Miller, illustrated by Karen Ostrove (1982)
This silly book is part Passover story, part math test. When 19 guests ("and 38 thumbs and a whole lot of freckles") come for Seder, what do you do when you only have nine chairs? The short poem will make your kid giggle, especially when paired with its sketches. The charm has little to do with Passover — someone sitting in a trash can is always funny — but the story line does address elements of the holiday.
Ryan E. Smith is associate editor of The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles.

Letter to the Editor: Thanks for successful Turkey Trot
Thank you to the town of Truckee for supporting the Turkey Trot this year. After shutting it down last year because of a little ice, they stepped up this year and let the Auburn Ski Club decide how to safely conduct the race.
Because of the snowy conditions this year, ASC created a true Mashed Potato Mile running in the snow around West End Beach. It was a creative and fun alternative running race with the usual pumpkin pies served and turkeys given away.

Is GNOME in Free Fall?
Aug 6, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Between the arrival of both MATE 1.4 and KDE 4.9 and the emergence of SolusOS' brand-new GNOME Classic on the scene, there's no denying it's been an exciting few weeks here in the world of Linux desktops.
That, in turn, has made it all the more difficult to witness the identity crisis that has apparently befallen GNOME itself.
"Core developers are leaving GNOME development," wrote developer Benjamin Otte in a recent blog post entitled, "Staring into the Abyss."
Not only that, but "GNOME is understaffed," "GNOME has no goals" and "GNOME is losing market- and mindshare," Otte wrote. Two hundred and thirty comments later -- not to mention 500 or so more on Slashdot, as well as onTuxRadar and beyond -- tongues are still wagging in every bar, saloon and watering hole across the Linux blogosphere's vast lands.
'A Transitional Desktop'
"It sounds like GNOME is in trouble, which is a sad thing," lamented Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"I like the GNOME 3 desktop," Lim explained. "It is nice, clean and is easy to navigate with a trackpad or keyboard. I have never understood why people did not like it.
"But I have never been one to customize my desktop with a lot of informational widgets," he added. "A good desktop is one that gets me to launch an app in the fewest possible steps. Nothing more."
Of course, GNOME is also "a transitional desktop," Lim opined. "It is designed to do a good job as a traditional desktop that can easily be migrated to a touchscreen. Imagine manipulating GNOME 3 on a 7-inch touchscreen. Then GNOME 3 makes a lot of sense."
'I Don't Need More Complexity'
Blogger Robert Pogson wasn't so sure.
"For me GNOME has been irrelevant since they went from 2.x to 3.x," Pogson said. "I have been using XFCE4 ever since," he noted. "I can manage my own desktop, thank you very much.
"I run my own web and desktop apps for search," he added. "I like to be able to see multiple windows and tabs and to click things. I don't need more complexity in my desktop. I need less."
'I Can Sympathize'
As a KDE user, Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien said he could feel the GNOME team's pain.
"We went through a few problems with the transition to 4.0, so I can sympathize with the GNOME folks," O'Brien told Linux Girl.
At the same time, "it also seems like maybe GNOME just stopped listening to the users, and that is very dangerous in Open Source, since anyone can fork the project," he added. "The key to a successful fork, of course, is the support of a user base.
"Will there be enough support from developers and users for something to take the place of GNOME? I don't think I've seen enough to be convinced yet, but what Linux Mint has done is certainly suggestive," O'Brien concluded.
'We Know Better Than You'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack saw the root of GNOME's problems in a single line in Otte's post: "The claimed target users for GNOME are leaving desktop computers behind for types of devices GNOME doesn't work on."
In other words, "the GNOME developers walked away from their existing user base, ignored the protests with 'trust us, we know better than you what you really want,' and went ahead and designed something completely unsuitable for keyboard and mouse input, and now they wonder where their users went," Mack explained.
"If they are still confused as to why that strategy failed, there is no hope for them," he added.
'I Just Don't Get It'
In fact, while "I wish I could say it's just a GNOME disease, it seems to be industrywide with Ubuntu and Windows 8 both abandoning their users to chase the touch screen," he opined.
"Even the mobile phone industry is suffering it," Mack added. "I'm stuck with a two-year-old Desire Z with a slow CPU and not much RAM. Why? Because no one has put a decent slide-out keyboard phone on the market that I can buy from Europe since then, and I need the keyboard more than I need a faster CPU."
Bottom line? "I just don't get it," Mack concluded. "I realize touch screens are great for some things, but they are harder for things like programming or even writing moderately sized documents, yet the entire industry seems to want to abandon the mouse and keyboard despite what their own users are telling them."
'One GUI to Rule Them All'
GNOME's problem is that "they drank the 'One GUI to rule them all' kool-aid," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol told Linux Girl.
In fact, much the same problems exist "in a higher degree with Unity and in a lesser degree with KDE 4," Ebersol opined.
"Think: The top-hits GNU/Linux distros of the moment are the ones that are adopting the classic desktop environments and the ones that are working to downgrade the existing DEs (Linux Mint with Cinnamon and MATE and SolusOS with a reworked GNOME 3 desktop)," he pointed out.
"It's easy to tell people are not very much pleased with those 'one GUI to everything' DEs...," he concluded.
'GNOME Will Quietly Die'
"This is what happens when you don't listen to your users in FOSS: it gets forked," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet agreed. "They've had a 'my way or the highway' attitude for too long, so the users chose the highway."
In fact, "the reason for creating GNOME in the first place, because KDE was built on QT and therefore wasn't FOSS, is gone," hairyfeet pointed out. "Now GNOME will quietly sputter and die while MATE becomes the new GNOME."
Similarly, "I'm really starting to not care about GNOME's future; the most appealing vision of GNOME seems to be a look back to the past, in the form of MATE," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza told Linux Girl.
'Room for Another Desktop?'
At the same time, "that does make me wonder: If others feel the same way I do, is there now room for another desktop environment to take a place in the forefront of the Linux ecosystem?" Espinoza mused.
"I imagine that if GNOME tanks, KDE will gain numerous users, but I still wonder if there might be a void that could be filled by something that might even be a little different from the desktop environments that we've seen so far," he added.
So what can GNOME do to "win back users and developers," as the TuxRadar article asks?
"I think there is nothing the GNOME team can do but wait it out," Lim suggested. "The Linux community, which was once the bastion of cutting edge thinking users, has now grown into a rather conservative bunch. Sooner or later they will come around."
In the meantime, "I think there should be more concern about the future of Linux desktop distributions in general, which are focused on yesterday's devices and not tomorrow's," Lim concluded.
'They Need to Create a New Brand'
On the other hand, "a lot of great change comes from staring into the abyss," Chris Travers, a Slashdot blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project, told Linux Girl.
"GNOME is a venerable old project, and I have a hard time seeing it go away," he noted. "However, if they really want to create a desktop that will win hearts and minds, there is one incredibly important thing they need to do: create a new brand."
A brand is "a promise made and a promise kept," Travers explained. "If users don't feel that a real promise has been made to them, or that it has been kept, they will not use the software. The GNOME 3 political issues are then a symptom of a potentially serious issue."
Travers' suggestion? "The new brand should be 'GNOME: The UI framework,'" he offered. "This brand would position GNOME to move into new environments including tablets and so forth, and give GTK apps greater reach, and it might not be that hard to do, as Cinnamon is showing by supporting the GNOME 2 desktop paradigm."
'They Need to Support GNOME 2'
First and foremost, "they need to support the GNOME 2 look and feel," Travers opined.
"GNOME 2 was highly optimized for helping users who were familiar with Windows and Mac figure out how to find their software," he explained. "The interface was highly discoverable and easy to use. This is a very different approach from GNOME 3, which is highly keyboard-centric and great for power users, but it is disorienting and has a learning curve."
Cinnamon helps, but it's not a GNOME project, Travers pointed out.
"I think that having an official option inside GNOME would be a very good thing," he suggested. "If they can't do that, they need to highlight Cinnamon. This sort of thing helps convince developers to port apps to GTK3.
"Having a soft interface change option would also go a long way towards ensuring that users don't feel alienated, which is a big problem currently," he concluded.

Smarter Motion Controls Promise Better Hydraulic-Press Performance
Adding closed-loop electro-hydraulic motion controllers with position-pressure/ force-control capabilities can make new presses excel or enable older machines to function like new. And retrofitting open-loop control systems with these controls provides another dimension of control to increase productivity, improve quality and decrease maintenance costs.
Position and Pressure Control are Musts
In the past, presses often used pressure-relief valves to limit the pressure used to apply force, but the technique is flawed owing to net force. Pistons have two sides, and a pressure-relief valve only reacts to pressure on one side of the piston. Since pressure occurs on both sides of the piston, applied force is not determined by the pressure on only one side. A around this problem is to mount pressure transducers in each end of the cylinder as shown in Fig. 1. That figure illustrates a hydraulic system used in a high-capability press, with position feedback provided by an MLDT and differential-pressure (force) feedback provided by two pressure sensors mounted in the cylinder. Control is via a servo valve.
Advantages of Precise Control
The addition of a programmable motion controller able to precisely control applied force and transition smoothly from position control to force control brings several advantages:
• Pressure spikes that damage sensors and cause leaks can be reduced or eliminated, decreasing maintenance costs and extending press life.
• More flexible production results from the ability to easily change a recipe that specifies different positions and forces during the machine cycle, which also significantly reduces machine downtime.
• Position and forces can be changed on the fly, allowing more flexibility in producing challenging parts.
• Multiple sections or axes of a large press can be coordinated or synchronized.
• Diagnostics and process monitoring can use data obtained from the controller.
• The press can adapt automatically to handle varying material consistencies and the effects of differing environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
In addition, more consistent, smooth motion results in less wasted or rejected parts, and ensures consistent quality and production from different machine operators with varying skill levels.
A Menu of Control Capabilities
Once the motion controller has accurate position and force feedback, it can operate in one of several modes:
1) Position control only,
2) Force control only,
3) Position or force control,
4) Position control with force limiting,
5) Position control with active damping.
Modes 1 and 2 are fairly obvious, but modes 3, 4 and 5 require explanation. First, position and force cannot be controlled simultaneously. Position or force control (mode 3) accurately controls position or force, but not at the same time. The motion controller uses different control algorithms for each mode, but the two algorithms, while running at the same time, do not interfere with each other because they don't provide control at the same time. Typically, an actuator is initially controlled using position feedback. Then, when the actuator makes contact with the load, the controller must manage the transition into force or pressure control. This control mode provides the best of both worlds—position and force control—but has one significant drawback. Sudden removal of a load or obstruction while the system operates in force-control mode sends the actuator racing forward trying to keep force on the load cell or across the piston at the force set point. In a press application, this can damage dies if the press cycles without having a workpiece to push against. Here, no opposing force would be encountered until the top and bottom dies are pushed onto each other.
Position control with force limiting (mode 4) is preferable in many applications. In this mode, the controller causes the actuator to move until reaching either the position or force set point. This allows setting of the position set point at a safe position where the actuator will stop even if an obstruction that resulted in force being exerted has been removed. But challenges may occur in this mode when making a simple position move. Since force is needed to accelerate in position-control mode, the force-limiting function could cause the actuator to fall behind its target position. In most applications, this problem can be solved by just using position mode and ignoring force feedback during position-only moves.
Position control with active damping (mode 5) is closely related to force-limiting mode, except that instead of limiting the absolute value of force, active damping limits the rate of change of force. Active damping is critical in hydraulic applications where the natural frequency of the load and actuator is very low. Active damping reduces or eliminates the system's tendency to oscillate by controlling or limiting the rate of change in the net force. Since net force is required to make an object accelerate, it can be thought of as a leading indicator of motion. If the force doesn't oscillate, the load will not oscillate. But force-rate limiting, or active damping, has a limitation. When used in active damping, the force-rate limit will interfere with the controller's ability to follow a motion profile, possibly degrading the ability to synchronize multiple axes. Nevertheless, active damping can be valuable in applications involving large masses, small-diametercylinders, or long lengths of hose between valves and cylinders.
Tackling Multiple-Axis Motion
Another distinguishing characteristic of many hydraulic-press applications is the requirement for two or more motion axes to move together, as illustrated in Fig. 2. An advanced electro-hydraulic motion controller can optimally manage motion of multiple axes.
One method for achieving harmonious multiple-axis motion, synchronization involves the coordination of multiple axes such that they all move in lock-step. With synchronized motion, position, velocity and acceleration are controlled as a function of time. This is critical in hydraulic presses with multiple actuators that must als travel in lock-step to prevent binding. The closed-loop motion controller ensures that identical moves are made on multiple actuators.
Key to accuracy of position, velocity and acceleration of synchronized axes is use of a noise-free, internally generated target profile for the axes. Synchronized axes also must be all in the same state at all times, i.e. they all must accelerate or decelerate together and stop together. In addition, if any axis halts due to a fault, the other axes must halt.
Gearing, also referred to as electronic gearing, is similar to synchronization in setting a constant relationship between the motions of two or more axes. While synchronization uses target positions generated as a function of time, with gearing, target positions are generated as a function of an external reference or an internal master axis. The external reference must generate a clean signal devoid of excessive problems such as noise, quantization error and jitter, which can degrade the performance of the geared axes.
Slave axes are geared to the master, doing exactly as the master but at a specified ratio. For example, at a 2:1 ratio, the slave axis will move 2 in. for each 1 in. of master movement. Hydraulics offers an advantage over mechanically geared systems for applications where the gear ratios must be changed on the fly. 'Clutching' is the term often applied to advanced gearing actions such as this. The goal of clutching is to make a gradual change in gear ratios so that the slave axis does not attempt abrupt speed changes.
Managing multiple interrelated motion profiles is not especially difficult given the right controller. The real trick is finding one that includes multi-axis synchronization in its standard offering, preferably as a preprogrammed function. Better yet, look for a controller with programming tools that allow graphical programming and automated tuning of the motion profile. This saves time in setting up and optimizing the system.
For proper control of multi-axis motion in complex motion systems, seek out a motion controller that allows the use of feedforward terms in the control algorithm. Feedforwards are predictive elements that allow motion systems to avoid lags due to errors between target and actual position and velocity values—smaller errors make tighter synchronization possible. Motion programmers should set up feedforwards to perform most of the control work, with feedback elements (proportional, integral and differential terms) focused on compensating for nonlinearities and environmental conditions that vary over time. For example, the acceleration feedforward function is useful in compensating for the force required to accelerate the load mass, increasing the control output to the valve during acceleration of the cylinder's motion. This causes the valve to release more energy into the actuator, compensating for the increased kinetic energy of the load. Some motion controllers come with automated tuning tools to ease tuning for optimal feedforward and feedback functions.
New motion controllers also support powerful instructions that can ease motion-system programming. For example, hydraulic-press applications can benefit from motion controllers that support built-in motion commands producing complex curving motions. The controllers do this by interpolating data provided by the user or a host controller. Curves may be programmed to perform either time-based motion, where the curve defines the position of the axis at certain times, or master-based motion, where the curve defines the position of the axis based on a master input, such as the position of another axis. Fig. 3 shows a complex, repetitive motion profile that can be implemented with a single instruction. MF

Tales of Corporate Oppression
While researching Company—I mean, while doing unrelated things in the hope that something would happen that I could use in the book—I heard lots of corporate horror stories. Some funny, some terrifying, most in the same theme: it's amazing just how clear a company can make it that you're completely unimportant.
Some of these stories went into my novel, but there are so many others that I've created a new web site to capture them: Tales of Corporate Oppression. I want it to become a repository for the best, funniest, and most appalling stories of everyday workplace inhumanity out there.
This is where you come in. If you've got a tale, help me get started: jump on in and submit your story. If you don't, you can still read other people's tales and vote for them.
In other news, I've updated the Company section of this site to include a description of what (more or less) the novel is about. It's relatively spoiler-free, so should be safe reading… but if you're one of those people who doesn't want to know anything at all about it, I applaud you. Assuming you're motivated by a desire to preserve the mystery, that is, and not because you have no intention of ever reading it. If it's the latter, I'm not so impressed.

Before you assume a second job, pause and consider what, if any, consequences it might have.
Marylyn Patterson, who worked full-time for Bank of Nova Scotia as a customer service supervisor, took a part-time job to make ends meet, never once considering moonlighting might spell the end of her full-time job.
Many employees find themselves in the same position as Patterson. Yet if your part-time job renders you too fatigued to competently perform your primary job or there is the potential for conflict of interest the employer can terminate the employment relationship.
Conflict occurs when you engage in any conduct incompatible with clearheaded, unbiased performance of your duties, or you negatively impact your main employer's business. For example, there is conflict if your second job deals with the same clientele as your first (natural enough, as those are the people you know) or, as often occurs in caselaw, you do what you know best, performing the same role with a competitor.
Such secondary employment creates disturbing risks in the mind of most employers, who want to eliminate any possibility of their employees competing with them, damaging their relationships with customers or being motivated, in any way, to attend to their own duties less assiduously.
Courts have repeatedly held that an employer may be justified in terminating an employee for cause if they are in a conflict, or even a potential conflict, of interest. An employer need not prove it suffered harm, only that it could do so from the employee's conduct. All employees, as a matter of law, even without a contract saying so, must be loyal to their employers.
Patterson moonlighted as a real estate agent. By no means was she an active agent. She mainly used her real estate licence to manage the buying and selling of family properties, hardly posing a threat to the bank. However, Scotiabank believed her real estate business conflicted with its interests.
From the bank's point of view, Patterson could hold herself out as a real estate agent and solicit its clients or sully its reputation by appearing to be working together with the bank on real estate deals. Notably, the bank had no evidence Patterson's activities had caused it any harm. The mere fact that her second job created these possibilities sufficed.
When she refused to drop her real estate job, Scotiabank swiftly terminated her for cause. Patterson sued for wrongful dismissal. The bank maintained it owed her nothing despite her years of service.
Citing a policy Scotiabank had in place with respect to conflicts of interest that she would have had to read as a requirement of employment, the court decided, even if there was only the potential for a conflict of interest, cause for termination existed.
Patterson's isn't an exceptional case. All employees must be wary of the potential for conflicts of interest when working more than one job.
Codes of Conduct are useful. But employers need not establish that guidelines or rules were in place to fire an employee for cause as a result of a conflict of interest. Even a potential conflict, where no actual damage has occurred, may give rise to a cause termination, leaving employees without employment or severance.
What should employers do to ward against conflicts of interest?
• Provide written policies with respect to conflicts of interest.
• Ensure employees read and review those policies annually.
• Ensure any restrictions you place on employees are reasonable so as to be enforceable if challenged.
• Delineate the consequences an employee may face and in what circumstances employees will be terminated instantly for cause as opposed to first being asked to divest themselves of the conflict.
• Follow your own policy rigorously. Like any policy, lienency in one case may lead to an argument of condonation in another.

EMERSON, Man. - The union representing Canada's border guards says three of its Manitoba members have been suspended without pay after leaving their posts at the request of the RCMP to help arrest a suspect.
Jean-Pierre Fortin, president of the Customs and Immigration Union, says the guards were asked a few months ago to provide backup for the RCMP less than a kilometre away from the Canada-U.S. border in Emerson. The guards left their posts to help the Mounties, who were staking out a hotel and bar where they had tracked a suspect believed to be involved in the kidnapping of a child.
Two guards kept watch over several exits while a third guard went into the bar, said Fortin, who added the border remained staffed by three other guards on the night shift.
The three who went to help the Mounties returned to their posts less than an hour later following the suspect's arrest, he said.
The Canada Border Services Agency investigated and announced last week that it was suspending the guards for up to 25 days without pay because they left their posts for an "unauthorized purpose," Fortin said.
The guards had no choice but to help the RCMP, he said, because the Criminal Code compels them to co-operate fully with law enforcement officers.
"They did the right thing," Fortin said. "They haven't done anything wrong."
Both RCMP and border guards fall under the federal Public Safety Department, Fortin said.
Neither the RCMP nor the Canada Border Services Agency responded to several requests for comment.
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney also wouldn't comment.
But in a letter dated Aug. 12 to the president of the agency, the minister said he was "concerned" about the disciplinary action.
Blaney said, while he understands the agency has the authority to discipline its officers, the Criminal Code requires any citizen assist law enforcement officials.
"Therefore, I would like to request a report on this incident and further clarification on the policy of the agency on requests for assistance in cases such as these," reads the letter, which was obtained by The Canadian Press.
Right after the arrest, the guards were thanked by the RCMP for their help, Fortin said. It's not unusual for border guards to help other law enforcement agencies, he added.
The guards, who cannot be identified, should be commended rather than punished, he suggested.
"These officers should actually be applauded and be recognized (for) reacting to keep — not only our border safer — but our community safe."
The suspended guards were armed and had received some of the same training as RCMP officers, Fortin said. The guards weren't new recruits and some had many years of experience on the job.
The union will be exploring all options to fight the suspensions, he said. At the very least, Fortin expects the guards to grieve the decision.
"We strongly feel this is abusive on behalf of the Canada Border Services Agency."

Burgess and His FamliyNext
I am a newly elected burgess, or what you would call a representative or delegate. I'm riding my horse from my farm in the Shenandoah Valley to Williamsburg, the Virginia colony's capital. I will take my seat in the lower chamber of the General Assembly, called the House of Burgesses.
My bride and a slave follow me in a small carriage. The slave drives the carriage and takes care of the horses. He also waits on my wife and me. My wife is happy to leave our remote farm and visit her brother and his wife in Williamsburg.
My wife is anxious about her sister-in-law, who is expecting her first child this month. The rough carriage ride seems to take forever, and tries my wife's nerves.
My wife and I are part of the respectable middle rank of Virginia society. Like many people where I live, I am of Scottish descent. My wife and I attend a state-sponsored Anglican church, and occasionally services at the Presbyterian meeting house.
We live on a modest Valley farm of 400 acres. With four slaves, we grow corn and wheat to sell, and we grow fruit and vegetables for our table.
Buying goods in Williamsburg's stores and shops is more convenient than dealing with the craftsmen where we live. My wife devotes most of her time in Williamsburg to family concerns. My time is spent on political questions. What is the best way to deal with England's recent severe treatment of the colonies? How will the other burgesses respond to my ideas? What is the future of ordinary men? What can I do now to safeguard the prospects of my children?

About two weeks ago, we looked at the first few milliseconds of nuclear explosions, as caught by a special camera that was specially designed by genius engineer Harold Edgerton. Richard Miller, author of Under the Cloud: The Decades of Nuclear Testing, contacted me with another startling picture — an amazing look at a glass-windowed building just after the initiation of the explosion, but just before the explosion destroys the building. Take a look at the strange effect that precedes the actual blast.
Nuclear bombs, in Nevada, were detonated on top of towers that reached hundreds of feet up into the air and weighed hundreds of tons, topped with houses covered with glass windows. The little houses were called shot cabs. They were obliterated by the blast, but before that happened, scientists took as many pictures as they could of exactly what happened to them. Although the camera helped them picture the various stages of an explosion, one quirk of the explosions made those glass houses a hindrance to photography. Over on the left you can see the house. Although the camera functions and the glass was clear, the entire picture looks blurred. Why?
Apparently, before the full blast of the bomb, neutrons and gamma radiation hit the windows. The sodium reactions to "frost" the entire glass, making it opaque. Occasionally, elements in the air react the same way, which accounts for the blurred spots in front of the building. What we're seeing is the first effects of the bomb, and last few milliseconds before the actual destruction hits.

Hi All,
Don't really know where to post this. I am going to Israel in February for a holy land tour. While there I would like to visit an apiary. I am having no luck finding a beek association on the internet to contact in that country. I will be staying in the Jerusalem area. Also, I will definitely be bringing back some honey. Does anyone have an opinion on which varieties I should try to purchase? Thanks for any help with this unusual request.

More napkin folks
Some point in scanning this series, I passed 100 pages. I've drawn far more than that, though. The third and fourth girls are the same person, but her hair made absolutely perfect shapes.

Attack of the napkin folk
After a short delay, I give you more people from the Mudhouse, now on napkins. This is what happens when I forget my paper. There are about 60 of these.

The everyday front-door lock has had a bit of an overhaul with Kwikset's Smartkey system. First, it's designed to be unbumpable, so you can feel more secure when you leave your home unoccupied. What's bumping, you ask, innocently?
It's a way for nefarious types to defeat the lock by quickly shoving in a trick key, taking just seconds to do—apparently many normal locks are easy to defeat. Secondly, by using a special adaptor, you can actually teach the Smartkey lock to use a new key. Fancy using any old key, or changing keys once a week? Easypeasy. It won't make your home Fort Knox, by any means, but it adds a touch more security and may keep unwanted mothers-in-law at bay. [Apartmenttherapy]

NASA is set to begin work next month in Boston on a four-year, $US1.74 million project called the Virtual Space Station. The project is supposed to create a program that can independently counsel depressed astronauts by supplying solutions to their typed insecurities. AP writer Jay Lindsay insists that it's nothing like HAL 9000, and he's totally right: that was a movie, and this is terrifyingly real.
In the program, astronauts type their various psychological problems into a console, and a pre-recorded video therapist leads the astronaut through a series of likely solutions. The robot "helps astronauts identify reasons for their depression. Then the program helps them make a plan to fight the depression."
I know you're thinking "well, this is for astronauts, and lucky me, I'm totally unqualified for that kind of job. So I'm safe!" No such luck: the Virtual Space Station is not only being tested on civilians, but the designers hope it will become a widespread tool among those for whom a real, non-robot therapist isn't an option.
The biggest problem, aside from the robot gaining independent thought and slaughtering everyone in sight, is privacy. There isn't much guarantee that the astronaut's interactions will be kept secret, and in fact it seems a pretty likely guess that they'll be analysed extensively. My biggest concern is that a scary robot will know about my intense fear of clowns and that weird dream I have about my third-grade teacher. [AP]

Surf City USA is adding insult to injury.
Visitors who cause vehicle crashes in Huntington Beach will now be billed up to $3,000 for emergency response.
The City Council on Monday approved the emergency services cost recovery program, which is expected to bring about $100,000 a year.
It will cost nearly $2,000 to pry a trapped person from a wrecked vehicle, $750 for a car fire and $405 an hour for each fire truck that responds to an emergency. Charges will be billed to auto insurance companies or motorists directly if they don't have insurance.
Only nonresident motorists are being charged. Fire officials say more than one third of all accidents in Surf City are the result of out-of towners. That's about 300 crashes a year.
Residents are exempt because they pay taxes for emergency services.
City officials say there are 70 other cities in the state with similar recovery fee schedules. Some cities, like Fullerton, only charge if the bill can be sent to an insurance company.

Running Press Cozies Up to Pajanimals
Running Press has secured the rights for Pajanimals, a musical TV series from Jim Henson Productions. "It's a major license for us," says publisher Christopher Navratil. The show features four furry puppets who learn life skills through imaginary journeys. "The message is something that's very direct," Navratil says, "and it helps children move through a number of issues, like fear of the dark."
A two-season list is in the works, starting with seven titles for a July 2013 release. Formats include episode-inspired 8x8s and board books (with and without stickers), as well as an original holiday picture book in collaboration with the show's writers.
The TV series launched on PBS Sprout three years ago and added Saturday morning airings on NBC earlier this year. "The ratings are terrific," Navratil reports. In addition to strong viewership, he cites other attractive attributes including the accessibility of the characters, the property's compatibility with Running Press's other licenses (John Deere and Peanuts), and the commitment of retailers such as Toys 'R' Us. "When we told our key retailers, they were very excited about it," he adds.
A licensing program is rolling out, starting with toys from Tomy this year, followed by books and other merchandise next fall. Products on the way include board games, puzzles, party goods, costumes, fabrics, sleepwear, hosiery, illuminated headboards, DVDs, apps, and parade balloons. Running Press is in the midst of meeting with other licensees about cross-promotional opportunities.
For VIZ, Ugly Is the New Cute
VIZ Kids has announced a new license with the specialty plush brand Uglydoll for a series of graphic novels in North America, the U.K., and Australia/New Zealand. (Random House holds the Uglydoll license for trade formats.)
"We definitely went after the license," says Beth Kawasaki, senior editorial director. She notes that Uglydoll figures have been available since the early 2000s in Giant Robot and other stores where indie comics and related merchandise are sold. In the last year or two, the property has expanded into stores such as Toys 'R' Us and Party City, and eventually the creators, David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim, decided the time was right to put a deal together for graphic novels. "As soon as we announced the deal, our sales director got quite a few queries from some pretty big accounts," says Kawasaki.
The four 80-page books, to be released quarterly starting at 2013 Comic-Con, will feature the most popular Uglydoll characters: Ox, Wage, Babo, and Ice-Bat. In addition to the main stories, each title will contain short bonus sections featuring interpretations by leading indie artists, including Eisner Award-winning comic artist James Kochalka and vinyl collectible creator Bwana Spoons.
In other licensing news, VIZ Kids recently signed Monsuno, an anime-style action-adventure TV and collectible card game series from toy company Jakks Pacific and Dentsu Entertainment USA, in association with FremantleMedia and Topps. The first of the 64-page quarterly volumes will be released in June.
"There was a stellar, A-list team behind the property," Kawasaki explains, noting that VIZ works with Dentsu on another license, Mameshiba. "They had the right things in the right places with their retail placement, TV, and licensing strategy." Nicktoons airs the show, Jakks is producing the toy line, Topps markets the collectible trading card games, and a full licensing program is in the works.
Both properties are likely to help expand distribution for VIZ's titles, according to Kawasaki. "They will appeal to a lot of readers who may not go to the comic book store," she says. For example, Monsuno might achieve placement in the mass merchant channel while Uglydoll may open doors in special markets such as Party City, Old Navy, and warehouse clubs. "These channels don't take graphic novels very often," she adds.
Reader's Digest Puts Babies First
Reader's Digest Association has introduced its first two books tied to BabyFirst, an infant and toddler-focused TV channel and new media company. Priced at $5.99 to $6.99, the initial titles are Peek-A-Boo Farm and Rainbow Horse: Colors All Around, to be followed in the spring by Where's the Acorn? and My Feelings: A Look-at-Me Book.
"When we were first exposed to it, at least a year and a half ago, I was fascinated that the world had gotten to this level of specialization, that there was enough programming for a 24-hour channel in this niche," says Harold Clarke, president and publisher of books and home entertainment at Reader's Digest. The books feature the network's most popular programs and characters, most of which are created by BabyFirst internally, in consultation with experts on early childhood development and cognition. "This is usually the kind of content that makes the best baby books," Clarke says.
Programming constructs on the channel fall into seven categories – Thinking Journey, Numbers Parade, Language Playground, Sensory Wonderland, Feelings Garden, Rainbow Dreams, and Imagination Lane – and each book is marked accordingly. "It's not overdirected or overdidactic," Clarke says. "The play patterns are all intuitive and consistent with the precepts we already know about kids at this early development stage."
The channel is available to 80 million households in 35 countries, including the U.S., where it is in the basic package on DirecTV, Dish Network, and Comcast, and available as a premium service in Time-Warner and Charter markets. RDA has global rights, and is launching first in the U.S. and Canada.
"We don't usually buy into the emerging brands," Clarke says. "BabyFirst has reached brand status in other markets, but it is an emerging brand for North America. We were willing to come in early and be a part of it from the beginning, and have a role in guiding it. Had there not been a brand association, they would still be strong baby books. Now we're looking for a growing awareness of the brand."
Penguin Goes Multiplatform with Puffin Rock
Penguin Children's Books in the U.K. is co-financing a new natural history-focused multiplatform brand, Puffin Rock, which will encompass TV animation, apps, and digital and physical books. It came about when Eric Huang, director of new business and IP acquisitions, met Laura Campbell, formerly of Pan Macmillan and eOne and now with Irish media company Dog Ears, at a "speed-dating" session at a British children's media conference last July.
The property had been created independently of Penguin or its Puffin imprint, and was already being developed for animation by Dog Ears and Cartoon Saloon. "The artwork was awesome," Huang says. "I thought, I wish we had created this. If our Puffin logo were to manifest as a children's character, it would look something like this."
Huang notes that three years ago, Penguin's involvement with TV properties was as a pure licensee, but now it is looking at getting involved earlier, coproducing and financing animation, apps, and other media, as well as publishing print and digital books globally. "I think what's really exciting about this, aside from the look of it, is that it's a new way of working for us. We're partnering with a TV and media company and actively driving a brand by investing in the TV and making it happen."
Discussions are ongoing with broadcasters, with a self-published picture book from Dog Ears, an animation clip, and an in-development app being used to pitch the property. Penguin will release the original picture book globally within a year before the show's launch (which could be as soon as late 2014), followed by an e-book just prior to the premiere. Licensing, tie-in books, and more picture books are expected to follow the TV debut. "The reason we're so confident about bringing the book out before the show is because we would publish it even without the TV," Huang explains. "If we had seen it at Bologna, we would've acquired it."

Summary and Keywords
Fakes and forgeries are topics of frequent and agitated discussion in the art world. For criminologists, this interests shifts to art fraud because of its fit with issues of non-authentic art. While fraud shares with the wider interests the need to demonstrate deception (an obvious aspect of a fake), a successful prosecution will require in addition that the defendant be shown to be dishonest (that is, that the deception is intentional), that there is harm as a consequence, and that the victim was actually deceived. Despite its popularity as a topic for discussion in the art world, actual cases of art fraud are exceptionally rare, although cases of "mistaken identity" are reasonably common (but these will often lack the deception and intentionality required of fraud). Among the reasons for art fraud being infrequently observed appear to be: (1) police are less than eager to pursue issues of fraud in art; (2) the deceptive skills required of a successful art faker are actually rarely observed or achieved; and (3) the role of the victim in art fraud is complex and often renders victims either passive or non-compliant with the justice process.
Keywords: art fraud, authenticity, disputed identity, fakes, forgeries, fraud, mistaken identity, non-authentic art, role of victim

Food52's Editorial Assistant (and college student) Brette Warshaw is curating her very own first kitchen -- and she needs your help. Last time, you helped her start a knife collection. Today: The cookbooks every First Kitchen needs, and why.
I'm the first of that generation: the generation that grew up with computer class in grade school, that got cell phones for their thirteenth birthdays, that played video games after school and ate Cookie Crisp for breakfast. You thought we were spoiled, ruined -- that our brains would turn to mush. You were worried we'd lost all values, that we were glued to our laptops, that things like pens and paper and books were irrelevant, useless, and tired.
So why, after asking you about cast iron pans and knives, did I ask you for your 10 essential cookbooks?
I asked you because to me and my generation -- the Twittering, Facebooking, Youtubing, Pinteresting, brain-turned-to-mush generation -- cookbooks still matter.
They, like a seasoned cast iron skillet or the sharpest Santoku, are things I will covet even past the days of my Second or Third or Fourth Kitchen, when my shelves are lined with egg cups and porridge bowls and vintage salt shakers. I will continue to page through them and to grin, to stare at them in the aisles of bookstores, to run my hands along their covers and feel their weight in my hands.
The question is: why? Why, when there are dozens of gorgeous cooking ebooks and apps, countless blogs, and when a website like FOOD52 exists, are cookbooks still essential?
They, of course, are reminders of the past; they capture what one person, or group of people, was cooking in a certain place and time. Yeah, that's cool. But as much as they're about what they did -- those accomplished chefs, bakers, and home cooks -- they're tanglble proof of what I can do.
I can. I can. In a world where the future is uncertain, where definitions are changing and lines are blurring, where the forks and spoons and knives of life are present and unavoidable, the words "I can" are powerful. If I follow these steps, I can make Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon. I can make Dorie Greenspan's chocolate éclairs. I can make Yotam Ottolenghi's tempura. With some kitchen twine and courage, I can even make The New York Times' turducken.
And now, thanks to you, I know which cookbooks will line my First Kitchen -- at first, maybe only on this printing, but soon, for real. Some are classic, some are new, but all are about the future: you've shown me what I can do, and now, when I get the right tools for my First Kitchen, what I will do.
So, below, I present to you the final list of The FOOD52 10 Essential Cookbooks – and the opportunity to get a printing of all of them from Ideal Bookshelf. If you do own any of these, spend some time today paging through them, bookmarking them, even writing in them. They're proof of what you've done -- and what you can do, and will do.

Why do cookbooks still matter to you?
As usual, I'll be pinning everything I'm coveting to my First Kitchen Pinterest board, so check it out!
Next time, I'll be covering cutting boards, and I could use your help! Email me at [email protected] with your First Kitchen recommendations -- your favorite tools, your favorite cookware. All wisdom is appreciated.

I've clicked "Erase all settings" on my iPhone 3GS and it went into a locked state where I couldn't get to the login screen in any way. I then decided to upgrade to 5.1 but forgot to save the SHSH.
Is there any way to downgrade to 4.2.1 or at least something different than 5.1?
