I'm new to this forum and quite new to Pulse.
I am looking for a PHP script / block that creates a simple paging for individual Pulse blog posts. I know a bit of HTML and CSS, but not much about PHP, so I can't do it myself.
What I need are just two links/buttons, "Previous Post" and "Next Post". If there are no more previous/next posts, the respective link/button should be disabled or removed.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Hello Frank, there are 'older' and 'newer'-buttons that appear after a certain number of blogposts. That depends on what you set in config.php. It is set to 5, but you van easily change that.Succes!Mary
Thanks, Mary. I already recognized these buttons. But I am looking for similar buttons that only appear on pages containing a single post, so that the reader can continuously read all posts.
Moreover, if such links are present, Safari Reader Mode seems to automatically concatenate all posts into a single page.
Aaaah, so I guess you have to move this to the 'wishlist' section?
I meanwhile managed to do it myself. For anybody who is interested, here's the code (but beware, it's just amateur programming ). You'll have to edit the variables to fit your needs.
$blog_prefix = "blog"; //prefix as entered in config.php
if(isset($_GET[$blog_prefix])) {
$pulse_path = "../pulse/"; //relative path to Pulse folder
$post_page = "/post/"; //absolute path to individual blog posts
$prev_post_string = "Previous"; //link text
$next_post_string = "Next"; //link text
if (is_numeric($_GET[$blog_prefix])) {
$current_post_id = $_GET[$blog_prefix];
$all_blog_files = glob($pulse_path . "content/blog/*.txt");
$total_pages = count($all_blog_files);
$prev_post_id = $current_post_id - 1;
$next_post_id = $current_post_id + 1;
echo "
";
if ($prev_post_id >= 1) {
echo "" . $prev_post_string . "";
if ($next_post_id <= $total_pages) {
echo "" . $next_post_string . "";
echo "
";
I used the following CSS to style it:
.blog_paging {
margin-bottom: 2.5rem;
/* Clearfix */
.blog_paging:after {
content: "";
display: block;
clear: both;
.blog_paging .prev_post_link {
float: left;
.blog_paging .next_post_link {
float: right;
.blog_paging .prev_post_link:before,
.blog_paging .next_post_link:after {
font-family: FontAwesome;
display: inline-block;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
text-decoration: none;
.blog_paging .prev_post_link:before {
content: "\f0d9";
margin-right: .3em;
.blog_paging .next_post_link:after {
content: "\f0da";
margin-left: .3em;
.blog_paging .prev_post_link:before:hover,
.blog_paging .prev_post_link:before:focus,
.blog_paging .next_post_link:after:hover,
.blog_paging .next_post_link:after:focus {
text-decoration: none;
Maybe I should have read this thread before I started doing the same Anyways, here is a different solution. It uses the same link names as the blog to avoid duplicate content.
Pulse 4.6/inc/tags/blog.phpFind lines 78-80
if ($disqus_comments == true){include('inc/plugins/disqus.php');}
echo "
";
Replace with
if ($disqus_comments == true){include('inc/plugins/disqus.php');}
echo "
";
if (($get_id > 1) && ($page != 'home')) {
$opennext = fopen($all_blog_files[$get_id-1][0] , "r");
$datanext = fread($opennext, filesize($all_blog_files[$get_id-1][0])); fclose($opennext);
$linesnext = explode("\n", $datanext);
$titlenext = $linesnext[0];
$url_titlenext = $all_blog_files[$get_id-1][1].'-'.str_replace(" ", "-", $titlenext);
echo "Previous";
if ($get_id < $amount_of_posts) {
$openprev = fopen($all_blog_files[$get_id+1][0] , "r");
$dataprev = fread($openprev, filesize($all_blog_files[$get_id+1][0])); fclose($openprev);
$linesprev = explode("\n", $dataprev);
$titleprev = $linesprev[0];
$url_titleprev = $all_blog_files[$get_id+1][1].'-'.str_replace(" ", "-", $titleprev);
echo "Next";

#reuters finance
1) The biggest strength of Bloomberg s and Reuters financial data products is coverage. You can punch almost anything into a Bloomberg terminal and get meaningful, reasonably accurate data back.
2) The next most important strength is ubiquity (network effect). As a financial professional, you can quit one job, start at another the next week, and be immediately up and running because everyone has Bloomberg (or, to a lesser extent, Reuters).
3) Finally, Bloomberg and Reuters are highly available. I can remember only one large Bloomberg outage in the last decade I ve been using their terminals, which is very difficult to pull off with such a large and complex platform.
Potential competitors from emerging markets appear all the time, but in general, financial jobs are in developed markets, and the barriers to entry there are very high for EM companies. Usually, if an emerging market startup gets strong enough to be useful, it will be bought out by a developed market company looking to expand its offering there.
For example, Capital IQ bought Simply Stocks, an Indian firm, in the early 2000s. Simply Stocks actually had more employees than CapIQ at the time and was producing good primary-source data by manually mining company financial reports, but they were minimally profitable and their infrastructure consisted of cobbled-together desktop PCs. They had essentially no backup systems. Their power would go out regularly. Their database systems and back-end software needed lots of optimization. And so on.
Generally speaking, a new emerging market competitor faces massive difficulties in breaking into the financial data platform business – underdeveloped infrastructure, low capitalization, and being on the wrong side of network effects, just to start. And we haven t even touched on the low availability of trained talent to work on this potential competing platform, the cost of sourcing the data for it, the difficulties in advertising it to the target audience, and the myriad other minor difficulties facing any startup technology venture.
China (by which I mean an SOE) could probably do it. There s an underserved market of financial professionals throughout Asia and Africa that could use a financial data platform targeted at them specifically, but it would be a long hard slog to get such a thing up, running, profitable, and eventually competitive with Bloomberg and Reuters.

Revenue for the September quarter was $234.2 million, up 6% compared to $221.0 million a year ago. Net income for the September quarter was $13.7 million compared to net income of $9.3 million a year ago, resulting in a 48% increase in diluted earnings per share to a record $.98 from $.66 a year ago. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, total revenue was $472.7 million, up 10% compared to $430.9 million for the same period a year ago. Net income for the first six months of this year was $27.4 million compared to net income of $18.1 million a year ago, resulting in a 54% increase in diluted earnings per share to $1.96 from $1.27 a year ago. Commenting on the results, Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics stated, "We continue to capitalize on our many strategic advantages to grow sales and profits. I am particularly pleased with our 38% increase in operating margins to 10.2% in the September quarter, up from 7.4% last year and 9.4% in the June quarter, which reflects our ability to leverage sales growth as well as incremental purchasing and operating efficiencies. I am also pleased with our revenue growth of 6% in the September quarter and 10% year-to-date, which reflects strong contributions from our strategic sales initiatives and previously completed acquisitions." Mr. Davis continued, "We have a strong balance sheet supporting our growth strategies, including acquisitions. Our acquisition pipeline has grown to opportunities totaling $500 million in annual revenues in addition to the two companies currently under letters of intent. Our strong balance sheet also enables the execution of our share repurchase program pursuant to which we acquired 276,800 shares for $14.7 million in the September quarter." Mr. Davis concluded, "I expect the momentum from our revenue and profit growth initiatives to continue and drive more record results. For the December quarter, we project a 45% increase in diluted earnings per share to $1.03 on an 8% increase in revenues to $244 million, with each representing a projected quarterly record for Consolidated Graphics." - See comments and analysis of Consolidated Graphics' conference call at www.printCEOblog.com, entitled "Consolidated Graphics, a leading digital printer?"

text: Myleene Klass tells new mums to ignore "Breastapo" Celebrity news News & Gossip 3 Celeb mum-of-two defends mums who made to feel guilty about stopping breastfeeding, asking, "Aren't we all just doing the best we can?" Myleene Klass has taken to Twitter to personally defend mums who she feels are being made to feel guilty if they stop breastfeeding early. Calling the critics the "Breastapo", new mum Myleene warned that negativity towards new mums who decide not to keep breastfeeding can be damaging to new mums. She also says she breastfeeds for her baby, not to satisfy others. "I breastfeed for my family, not to pacify the Breastpo," Myleene tweeted. "I think people should be very careful when it comes to judging how others raise their children." Myleene, 33, also added, "Aren't we all just doing the best we can? Besides, you never know what a person's circumstances are." Myleene's tweets come shortly after fellow celeb new mum Kym Marsh found herself in the middle of a heated breastfeeding debate, after she revealed that she had stopped breastfeeding her daughter Polly. If you are breastfeeding, check out our essential guide to all you need to know, and shop for the most stylish breastfeeding tops around. Read more... Myleene Klass shows off her new baby on Twitter Breastfeeding myths busted! Myleene Klass explains why she went back to work weeks after giving birth By Kyrsty Hazell 3 Comments Share Like this article? Showing of Lorna I like the word breastapo - good for you Myleene. I had to give up breastfeeding when our daughter was 7 weeks old as it was giving me pins and needles in my right arm due to an old injury to my shoulder. After nearly dropping our daughter after a night-time feed I decided it was time to change. Our daughter is now 3 and is hardly ever ill (they say breastfeeding gives babies a better imune system) and is (so we are told) above average in intelligence (they say breastfeeding makes for more inteliigent children). Isn't it better to feed your baby something rather than nothing? Lynn2 'Breastapo' or 'breastfeeding Nazi' as tearms are all very well and good, but only if people start to acknowledge that there is a 'Formula Stasi'. I've never felt pressured into breastfeeding, but from the day after having my son, I've had midwives, health visitors and relatives going on at me to give formula. Like many I topped up, but felt bullied into it by health professionals telling me 'I didn't have enough milk', even though top ups can just exacerbate the problem. It took three months, and meeting a lovely, gentle lactation consultant - not a 'Nazi' - before I could finally EBF. I don't think in reality either exist, and a lot of it is perception, and women's own disappointment that whatever they've chosen is not accepted or supported by others, but at least acknowledge that it happens on both sides. Colette Mylene's got a book out, yes? Or maybe she's promoting her kids clothing range. Ugh. Thing is, I agree with her, but she's just so self serving! Uh-oh! You need to be logged in to do this...

JERUSALEM — Soon after the cease-fire took effect this week between Israel and Hamas, another truce ended: The agreement among candidates in Israel's upcoming elections not to campaign during the crisis.
Analysts said it probably was too much to ask for the political cease-fire to last much longer. "The War has Started," said a front page headline in Friday's leading Yediot Aharonot newspaper, referring to the barely couched maneuvering for advantage.
Some question whether there was ever a break in the politicking.
"Even during the conflict, there was no cease-fire," said Gabriel Weimann, communication and politics professor at Haifa University. "The campaign was always going on."
Yediot Aharonot reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle delayed announcing the cease-fire with Hamas, largely concerned that air-raid warnings in the final hours of the conflict, just as he was unveiling the deal, could damage his election prospects.

It is all an Illusion - not real, even though it does seem to be real. How could we ever really leave our Mother/Father God, when we are now, and always have been ONE WITH THEM. When we are truly awake, we will know that it was only a dream, and that we never were really apart from them. The night is over, and the Dawn is breaking! Time to wake up and put the coffee on! ☺ReplyDelete
I understand God as a living unseeable collective that we are all a part of, connecting with this is having the ability to observe what we see is what we think, this is all developed from within so people need to stop regergatating the news and seek within, we are all one but our thoughts need not be the same, thoughts of service to others with love will change this perceived reality.ReplyDelete

After the GOP convention in Tampa in August, Ron Paul's presidential campaign and political career will officially come to an end. Despite the protestations of some hardcore supporters, Ron Paul will not be the Republican nominee and in fact, he will likely not even be nominated at the convention in Tampa.
Many supporters are gravitating towards campaign of Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, however to be perfectly blunt, my three month old puppy has a better shot at being elected President than he does. In addition, there will be same number of Libertarian Party members of the House and Senate, none. This is not what I hope will happen, this is simply stating reality. If the liberty movement is to continue after the end of Ron Paul's career, we need to lay a solid foundation for political success. I believe the best way to lay a foundation for the liberty movement is take a page from professional baseball and build a "farm team" of future leaders to run for political office and activists to work the races.
In professional baseball all Major League Baseball teams have a developmental system of minor league teams. The minor league teams are rated from AAA all the way down to A. In addition, there are special developmental leagues for rookie players drafted right out of college. Other sports leagues are trying to replicate the system to develop the next generation of professional athletes. We in the liberty movement, regardless of what we call ourselves, need to take the same approach to politics and political office.
First things first though, in order for this to truly work, liberty movement activists need to be willing to participate in a political party of government. The only two parties that meet that requirement are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. I know this will disappoint the majority of my fellow contributors and many of our readers, but the Libertarian Party is a political dead end. The fact of the matter is the Libertarian Party has averaged less than 1% of the vote in most elections and there is no sign that the trend will reverse itself anytime soon. If you are a left-leaning libertarian, you'll probably be more effective working within the Democratic Party and if you're a right-leaning libertarian, you'll probably be more effective working within the Republican Party. This does not mean compromising your principles, this just means you're willing to make alliances with those you agree with much of the time to gain political power.
What we need to start doing is start identifying those people among us who are political office material. Preferably, they need to be strong leaders who are good with people, even those they disagree with, and those who can articulate their ideas well. Instead of making their first run for office at a statewide level or even a national level, they should first start running for local office such as the city council or mayor or even for state legislature. It's much less expensive moneywise than running for a big office like governor or Congressman and you can best leverage a volunteer base in a local race than a national or statewide race.
Working in local government will give liberty candidates valuable experience in tailoring their message to the concerns of average, everyday Americans instead of preaching to the choir of liberty activists. This does not mean abandoning the principles of liberty; it just means appealing to non-liberty voters who are more concerned about everyday issues than about the Federal Reserve for example. Then, once you have demonstrated a record of success and expanded your own personal base of support past just the liberty activists, run for the big offices. It's not a sexy plan and it's not exactly one that can be implemented overnight, but the size and scope of government did not enlarge overnight as well.
Finally, we need to refine and develop liberty activists as well as liberty candidates. If you're a liberty activist, please volunteer for the campaign of a liberty candidate or even a non-liberty candidate who you can stomach. Gain the valuable campaigning experience and bring it to future campaigns. There are also many resources both on the web and offline to help campaigners win elections. After the election, get involved with activist organizations both nationally and on the local level. Also, network with fellow liberty supporters both online and offline and don't let the ideas of liberty end with Ron Paul's political career.

Over the past 60 years, the United States has seen, and survived, 10 recessions (not counting the one we might be in at present). From the shortest one -- six months in 1980 -- to the two that spanned 1973-1975 and 1981-1982, we've muddled through and come out the other side. In between each, we've experienced, on average, almost five years of expansion.
So while we might be in another recession right now, I'm excited!
Pardon me while I wipe my chin
First, we have a whole bunch of people running around in panic mode crying, "The sky is falling!" They don't want to hold stocks during a recession, so they're willing to sell them -- cheap.
Second, the news media fan the flames of panic with constant stories about weakening consumer spending and the specter of recession.
Third, we've got a handful of really hated companies. Specifically, I'm talking about the banks, thrifts, and builders that caused and are feeling the fallout from the mess we're in.
What does that add up to? Bargains.
Like a kid in a candy store ... and the candy's on sale
One option is one of the banks -- specifically Wells Fargo
There's also the investment bankers and brokerages. While E*Trade
Then there are (still) the retailers, trying to survive declining same-store sales and decreased consumer spending. This is where a strong balance sheet is helpful. American Eagle Outfitters
Even some big name companies have been dragged down: Pfizer
Finally, there are restaurants. Chipotle Mexican Grill
"When Miller and Nygren speak, people listen."
Investing in the above industries might seem counterintuitive now, but Bill Miller of Legg Mason says au contraire:
[Several] years ago, everyone wanted tech and Internet and telecom stocks ... The time to buy them was in 1994 or 1995, when they were cheap. But in 1994 or 1995, people wanted banks and small and mid caps, which should have been bought in 1990, and well, you get the picture.
Bill Nygren, another great value investor, agrees. Looking at the current economic situation, he wrote, "What usually happens is that suffering industries begin to recover, the next crisis comes from somewhere least expected, and the cycle of creating new investment opportunities starts anew. We have no reason to believe it will be different this time."
What these gentlemen know is that investing today in areas that aren't well liked will position your portfolio for when we come out of this bear market. There will be another bull market. What we have now is the chance to grab some good companies while they're cheap.
So what are you going to do? Stop investing in stocks altogether, worried that things will be different this time? Or listen to master investors (not me -- Miller and Nygren!) and look at some opportunities?
I know what I'm going to do, and I can hardly wait.
Finding value
If you'd like some help in figuring out if a beaten-down company is worth investing in, take a look at our Motley Fool Inside Value service. Philip Durell and his team look in downtrodden areas of the market, just as Miller and Nygren advise.

Sale of Retirement Concepts to Anbang approved by federal, provincial regulators
The sale of B.C.'s largest private chain of care homes to an offshore private equity firm has been approved by the federal government and provincial health authorities.
All of Retirement Concepts seniors' care sites in B.C. are included in the sale to Cedar Tree Investments Canada, with the exception of Qualicum Gardens and Terraces on 7th.
More than 1,850 Hospital Employees' Union members work at 12 of the company's B.C. sites as employees of Well Being Seniors Services.
The Chinese private equity and insurance firm Anbang Insurance has purchased a controlling stake of the company through its Canadian subsidiary Cedar Tree Investments.
Retirement Concepts has told the Hospital Employees' Union that there will be no change in staff or leadership in its B.C. operations as a result of the sale.
HEU secretary-business manager Jennifer Whiteside expects members employed through WellBeing Seniors at Retirement Concepts sites will not see big changes in the workplace in the short-term.
"It appears that Anbang has satisfied provincial health authorities and federal regulators that they have an ongoing commitment to Retirement Concepts' current operations," says Whiteside. "And all collective agreements covering HEU members remain in place.
"Obviously, we'll be monitoring the situation carefully to ensure that members' jobs and services to seniors are protected through this transition," says Whiteside. "If members are aware of any changes happening in the workplace as a result of the sale – or have other questions, they should contact their union executive and servicing representative."
HEU had raised concerns about the sale of Retirement Concepts to Anbang, especially about the potential loss of control over more than ten per cent of contracted residential care beds in B.C.
The purchase of Retirement Concepts triggered a review by the federal government because the sale exceeded the $600 million threshold. It was approved earlier this year.
Last month, the transfer was also approved under B.C.'s regulations governing care homes.

So I'm realizing this blog is kind of a mishmash of my personal story combined with daily experiences and random facts about hep c. Now I'm going to veer in yet another direction (sorry) because I'm finding that this blog is kind of cathartic for me as a sort of "mind dump." So if you are tiring of my digressions, read no further. Warning: No sunshine and butterflies ahead.
The thing is, my grandfather is dying. Most people have been through this at least once before they've reached my age (26) so I'm lucky in that I have kept all my grandparents this long. But I'm a little behind on how to handle losing someone this close. Granddad has had cancer for quite awhile now but it has just been this past month that he has really started to go downhill. He lives about five hours away, so I haven't seen him since right before school started, and then he was still alert and talking, reading about taking up bonsai as a hobby, starting some azalea cuttings to train up, etc. Now apparently he is sleeping all but one or two hours out of 24. I'm afraid he won't make it til Thanksgiving so I just booked my train ticket for next weekend. I have a long weekend from school so I figured I had better go.
What do you say when you know this might be goodbye? And is it stupid that I really want to ask him if he's scared? I mean, what kind of question is that to ask a dying person? The answer seems like it would be an obvious yes, but for some reason I'm fixated on asking him this.
I called the other day and caught him when he was awake. His voice was very hoarse (Granny says he doesn't want to eat or drink much these days) so he couldn't talk for long, but he always insists he's fine.
Me: "Granddad, how you doing?"
Granddad: "Oh I'm fine hon."
Me: "Are you being ornery?"
Granddad: "I wouldn't be fine if I wasn't ornery!"
Granny says he doesn't like it when she arranges for one of the kids to come over when she leaves the house "because he doesn't need a babysitter!" So they take turns strategically "dropping by for coffee."
So do we just keep on pretending everything is ok? Granny and Granddad are the most religious people I know, so maybe to them it really is ok and we don't need to state the obvious here. I wonder if they've had the priest out for last rites yet. And I wonder what is wrong with me that I can't stop thinking about whether anyone has asked him if he's scared.

Untuk mempermudah mengkostumisasi mobil rekan-rekan bisa save as template berikut , silahkan sedot.
Tuning Template 1
Tuning Template 2
Tuning Template 3
Clutch: The clutch sits between the engine and the transmission and is used to transmit and cut the driving force. If you increase the engine power through tuning, this clutch will slip and not transmit power to the drive train reliably. To prevent this from happening, you need to replace the clutch with a higher contact pressure clutch. Here, you can choose between 3 different types of strengthened clutches: the sports clutch, twin plate clutch and triple plate clutch to meet the characteristics and tuning level of your car.
Flywheel: The flywheel is a part that regulates irregularities in the engine rotation and maintains low speed torque. You can sharpen the engine pick-up and increase accelerating power by replacing the flywheel with a light-weight version. You can choose from a sports, semi-racing or racing flywheel to match the car characteristics and stage. If you combine too light a flywheel with a fine, small exhaust volume engine, you may lose speed on the uphills.
Carbon Driveshaft
Propeller shaft: The propeller shaft is the part on a front engine, rear drive car that transmit's the power output from the transmission to the rear differential. Because this is usually fabricated from heavy metal, engine response can be improved by replacing it with a shaft made from carbon.
Driving Aids
Driving Aids Adjustment: Changes the setting of the ASM (Active Stability Management) and TCS (Traction Control System) that assist your driving. This can prevent under steer, over steer, spin, etc. at corners.
ASM System (Oversteer)
ASM Oversteer Adjustment: ASM is a device for preventing oversteer (motion that spins toward the inside) and under steer (motion that drifts toward the outside) when cornering by actively controlling the brakes on each of the 4 wheels. This setting controls the action of the ASM oversteer. Although setting this item to a large value will reduce the car's tendency to oversteer and improve cornering stability, it will also make it more difficult to turn. Because this is a system that controls the brakes, you should expect to sacrifice some speed.
ASM System (Understeer)
ASM Understeer Adjustment: This setting controls the action of the ASM Understeer. Although setting this item to a large value will reduce the car's tendency to under steer making it easier to turn, the car will also become easier to spin. Because this is a system that controls the brakes, you should expect to sacrifice some speed.
TCS Controller
TCS (Traction Control System) is a system that prevents the wheels from spinning on the road surface by detecting when the drive wheels are spinning freely, and automatically adjusting the car's acceleration to compensate. The TCS Controller is a device that adjusts how much the TCS is applied. Although increasing the strength of the TCS will indeed stabilize the car, acceleration may become sluggish. For powerful front-engine, rear-drive cars, if TCS is not applied, the car may tend to oversteer under hard acceleration.
Downforce Adjustment
Adjusts the balance between the front and rear down force. If the front down force is strong, the car will tend to oversteer and if the rear down force is strong the car will tend to under steer.
Downforce Adjustment (wrench icon)
The force that pushes the car down onto the road surface as it is moving is called down force and has the effect of increasing cornering speeds and high-speed stability. You can adjust how this force is balanced between the front and rear by using the front lower and rear spoilers. In general, if the front down force is strong, the car will tend to oversteer (the front will rotate), and if the rear down force strong the car will tend to under steer (the front will push towards the outside of the curve). As the down force only acts at high speeds (whereas tire choices and suspension settings are effective even at low speeds) it is possible to fine-tune the handling characteristics of the car through a balance of these settings.
The differential is the part of the car that adjusts the driving force between the inner and outer wheels when the car is turning. In sports racing, this differential may be a nuisance. For example, if the inside wheel lifts off the ground when taking a tight corner, the differential will transmit the majority of driving power to the airborne inside wheel. The Limited-slip is a device that prevents this from happening. Although Limited-slip usually comes in 1-way, 1.5-way, 2-way, etc. configurations depending on the direction of the driving force, here you have the additional option of a fully customized Limited-slip where you can adjust the application of the Limited-slip independently in each direction.
Limited-slip Full Customization
This allows you to individually adjust the initial torque, strength under acceleration and strength under deceleration of the Limited-slip. By doing this you will be able to change the characteristics of the car significantly. On 4WD cars you can also adjust the front and rear settings separately.
Initial Torque
Limited-slip Initial Torque Adjustment: Apart from cornering, where Limited-slip is fully applied, it also slightly limits slip in the differential at other times. The force applied to the Limited-slip in advance is called the initial torque. It is possible to change the handling of the car by changing this initial torque. Increasing the initial torque increases the response when Limited-slip is active, but makes the car harder to turn. On the other hand, a weak initial torque makes the car easier to turn but reduces the response of the Limited-slip.
Limited-slip Acceleration
Adjust the Strength of the Limited-slip under Acceleration: If you increase the strength with which the Limited-slip is applied under acceleration, the car's traction (force driving the car forward) will be increased on the exits of corners. If the inside driving wheel spins as you come out of a corner, you can reduce the wheel spin by increasing the strength of the Limited-slip under acceleration.
Limited-slip Deceleration
Adjust the Strength of the Limited-slip under Deceleration: If you increase the strength with which the Limited-slip is applied under deceleration, the motion of the car will be stabilized on the approach to corners. In other words this makes the car harder to steer. This can be quite effective for a driving style where you hold off the brakes until the very last minute on the approaches to corners.
AYC Controller
AYCC: This is a device that improves cornering characteristics by controlling the torque distribution between the left and right drive wheels.
AYC Controller Adjustment
Adjusts how strongly the AYC is applied. If it is applied strongly, the car will generate a turning moment under acceleration making it easier to steer. If it is applied too strongly, however, the car will gain a tendency to oversteer and will be easy to spin.
Variable Center Differential
VCD: This is a variable center differential that can be used to freely change the torque distribution between the front and rear wheels in a 4WD car.
VCD Adjustment
You can change the distribution of torque between front and rear on a 4WD using VCD. The adjustment range is from 0 front 100rear to 100 front 0 rear. If the torque is mainly distributed to the front, the car will handle like a front-engine, front-drive, and if the torque is mainly distributed to the rear the car will handle like a front-engine, rear-drive.
Weight Balance
Weight Control: You can decide on the weight and position of ballast that is fitted to the car to correct weight balance. Although the fundamental rule is a 50/50 balance between the front and rear, you can intentionally alter this balance to change the handling characteristics of the car.
Ballast Weight
This adjusts the weight of the ballast. Although a heavier ballast is more effective at adjusting the weight distribution of the car, the increased car weight has a negative effect on cornering speeds, acceleration, braking, etc.
Front/Rear Balance
This adjusts the front/rear weight distribution by changing the position where the ballast is mounted on the car. For cars that are front-heavy, you should locate the ballast towards the rear, and for cars that are back-heavy, you should locate the ballast towards the front. Making front/rear weight distribution close to 50/50 will produce a neutral handling.

Discussion in 'iPad General Discussions' started by Gusti Putu, May 15, 2011.
is it possible to watch on 3D??
The iPad is not compliant with any of the current 3D standards and cannot play 3D BluRay discs.
There are completely unconfirmed - and, in my view, unlikely - rumours that the next iPad will support 3D.
Need more data. A few questions and I am sure there will be more.
My iPad plays 3D movies. I recently watched "House of Wax" and part of "Robot Monster." Not stereoscopic versions, but a 2D releases. I also have watched some 2D versions of classic 3D films released by Castle on 16mm film transferred to digital.
So are you asking about watching non-stereo versions of 3D or do you want to see the films in 3D? I am guessing you want to view the movies stereoscopically. The problems you face are great. If the film is displayed in a format the device can handle, and you are equipped properly, yes, you can.
There are many different stereo formats and techniques. Anaglyphic, polarized, Pulfrich, ChromaDepth, various glass-less systems, LCD Shutter, lenticular, etc. There are interlaced films as well. All of these formats require either special adapters or special viewers. For example, anaglyphic requires red/green or cyan/red glasses but they are easy to view on the iPad. Polarized systems are a no go, and unless you can find the required software for handling interlaced video, that is largely a no go.
If the 3D film was a created to be viewed with a polarized system, then you can watch the side by side stereo pair using what is known as 'free viewing.' Search the web for info about this. Easy to find because there are thousands of stereo enthusiasts out there, and they/we have been making stereo photos for a very long time, so there is a great deal of information. I actually shot 3D professionally as well as processing, printing, and mounting 3D images during my time with Bill Shipler Photo here in SLC. I know a few things about this topic.
If the film is anaglyphic, then it is easy to view on the iPad. You just require the requisite glasses and your good to go.
The answer is no not this year.

The train of reasoning which led them to justify the imposition of a fine was somewhat in this wise: To _impose a fine_ would be to take blood-money, and would be immoral and iniquitous: to _accept the offer of a present_ on condition that the sentence should be entirely remitted however would be quite another thing.

Sittler Quality Windrow Turners
Model #1014
Sittler Windrow Turner 1014 * Retourneur d'andain du compost Sittler 1014
Sittler now offers additional protection with Dual Flap Guard TM. The new shield adds dual protection on the tractor side from projectiles. The dual flap guard is now standard for all 512 and 1014 turners and can be retrofitted to existing models. The guard is easy to install and requires 2 workers for installation.
Powerful, reliable, efficient, economical, low-maintenance, and long-lasting. Extra-hardened, replaceable steel blades are uniquely positioned on the drum to allow for complete blending right to the base of the windrow. Material from the outside is brought inward and from the bottom to the top forming a peak position, allowing the windrow to have a chimney effect for CO2/oxygen flow.
The NEW Sittler 1014 windrow turner is designed for high volume compost operations. With a heavy-duty rotor drive shaft, larger rotor, and wider, sturdier drum blades this rugged machine offers a capacity of up to
2700 cubic yards/hour, turning 45 cubic yards per minute. The hydraulically operated outside drive wheel can be raised and lowered as required to eat through heavy loads. A peaked front with a reinforced steel roof maintains tunnel shape and windrow height capacity.
Standard water spray system with galvanized elbows.4 water spray nozzles inside the compost processing area, known as the tunnel, allow for appropriate adjustable moisture to be applied to the compost. For more information on our watering system please go to our turner page.
Special housing encloses the bearings and shaft to protect the mechanisms from dust and debris.
Right hand shield is removable. PTO right hand end is a shear bolt arrangement with shear bolt protection.
Threading frame allows the operator to raise and lower the compost cover or fleece. The machine has a dry roller which rolls by friction. Covers help retain moisture and N.

Hi Ron,
Happy New Year!!
I installed Girder 184.108.40.206-2 without any problems on a Pi 3 with Jesse-Lite to use it as a back-end with my PIR-4. I started the "Girder6Service" and received "Girder License Path "/etc/xdg/Promixis/"". I remembered from your sticky that "you'll need to run the license app for each user that needs Girder on your Linux system". I ran the license command several different ways (including my name and license key), but each time I run "./license --show", it displays "No license found". What's the correct syntax?
I saw some other posts talking about a "Girder 6.ini" but that file was not installed during installation.
Please advise - THANK YOU!
Ahhhhh! A new day and a fresh cup of coffee!!
I read your "Girder 6 on Linux " sticky this morning and found this gem: "Note that you'll need to run front-end once as root to install the license code." I installed Girder on a fresh install of Jessie (with GUI) and entered my license information when prompted during start-up. I saw right away what my problem was. The license string has to be in quotes! It's always something soooo simple! I copied the new "Girder 6.ini" file that was just created to "/etc/xdg/Promixis" in my previous "Lite" instance and it's working fine now.
My suggestion is to make a note in the "Girder 6 on Raspberry Pi" sticky to include:
Please create a "Girder 6.ini" file with:
Code:[License] license="<your license name>\<your license key>"
Do not forget to include the "\" and the "quotes", place it in: /etc/xdg/Promixis, then reboot.
Some other information that might be helpful:
Start "Girder Remote" on your front-end device, in the "Local Network" tab wait for the hostname of your back-end device(s) to populate (may take 30+ seconds), enter the default "girder" password and click "OK" to start.

my 11 yr old diabetic cat was dxg's with asthma. she has been given an antibotic for inflammation in her traciea and put on steriods. after a week of not getting better the vet gave her a shot of steriods (to last 4-6 weeks) still not better after a week so she precscribed theophillin and some lasix's for the fluid on her lungs.
my cat is moaning constantly and especially after she eats. she wants to hide all the time and cries out when we pick her up to give her the meds. she will barely eat anything. she is very inactive. i feel that she is in pain and wonder if there could be something else going on. i have told my vet that she is in pain and is miserable but she insist that she is just uncomforable.
should i get a second opinion? i would go to the ends of the earth for my cat but seeing her like this i cannot handle.
thank you.

Disc burning software with multisession+verify+move files/folders
I know a few burning DVD programs but none of them meets all my criteria. I want it to burn data in multisession (so I can add data later) and then verify. But the missing feature for me is being able to move files and folders on the disc when burning a new session. For example, I have burned a disc with a few files and folder and some time later I want to add some new files to the disc but also rearrange the files and folders I burned before - of course, I don't want the rearranged files to be written again to the disc but only the folder structure changed (ToC) so that they appear in their new locations in the newest session.
Such a feature existed in Nero - I could drag&drop files and folders within a disc that were burned in previous sessions. But I don't want the bloated Nero and I also don't want to pay for a burning software (or pay little). This is not a critical feature for me but only a nice convenience.
So far I've been using:
- Ashampoo Burning Studio - excellent & stable, but it won't allow me to move existing files, I can only delete or rename them
- CDBurnerXP - not so stable in my experience and also no way to move existing files
- Windows 7 built-in live file system burning - excellent for moving existing files around but alas no verify option
Any recommendations?

It sounds like you need RW discs, but be aware RW media is the least reliable.
Also, if you want the functions and none of the freeware applications do what you want, you will have to pay for it. I have a recording studio and primarily burn audio CD's, I have (bought) Nero as it does what I want, compared to the others. The only other program that will burn audio CD's with the features I want is a higher priced Sony Architect product.

As cheap as discs are now, it may just be better to burn a new one than to buy software. For the $50 or so that the paid software costs you can buy a lot of discs.
I've always considered the 25 cents or whatever was not an issue if it was something I wanted burned to disc.
|My System Specs

Yes, it is definitely more cost effective to buy new discs than software. However, I'm looking here more for convenience than money savings. When I have a disc with a lot of data and I just want to move a few files to a new folder I'd rather just move them in a specialized software and be done with it in less than a minute than copy all the disc content to my HD and then back again to a new disc. Also, I disagree with those who are against burning multisession (like the author of ImgBurn, for instance) saying discs are cheap - they may be cheap but this doesn't mean I should or I want to create unnecessary litter and throw discs away while the old ones could be used just fine.
Anyway, I've been looking hard and the feature of moving files seems to be pretty exotic but I've found one little program that does it: Astroburn. The lite version is free, has verify option and allows me to move files and folders - I've never seen a burning program with so few options but it seems to do its work quite well. The pro version has some nice additions like choosing file system type and the price 9.90 euro seems very right.

Native Windows 7 Disc Image Mount/Burning Software?
Is there? I'd like to burn a cue/bin set of files and wonder if the basic Win7 burning software will burn them properly or if I should use a 3rd party app? If the basic Win7 burning software doesn't, is there a freeware from MS for it? Thanks!

When Microsoft first launched Office 2013, it was a fairly outrageous affair. The company revealed that the Office 2013 license would apply to only the first machine it would be installed on, making it impossible to transfer it to a new PC or a different machine. After a huge uproar, the company has reviewed and now, changed this policy.
Apparently, Microsoft had first adopted the strategy of restricting Office 2013 licenses to a single machine so that more users could be pushed towards its Office 365 subscription model. Office 365 allow users to access their Office Suite from multiple devices, for a given monthly fee.
The move apparently backfired because the Office 2013 license restrictions were very unfair. It was as if Microsoft was forcefully pushing the Office users towards Office 365 and limiting their choices elsewhere.
The real problem was that if you installed Office 2013 on a PC and then that PC broke down, you couldn't transfer the license for the software suite to a different machine. Apparently, the company was kind enough to consider the negative feedback from the customers and has now decided to change this policy.
In a new blog post, Microsoft has announced that it is removing the Office 2013 license restrictions. The license is now transferable, although a few conditions do apply. Among these is that an Office 2013 license can be transferred to a different machine only once in 90 days and at a given time, it will be active only on a single machine. The change is a huge relief to Office users.

Academically gifted program advanced by Boucher
State Senator Toni Boucher, R-26, is proposing the establishment of an "academically gifted advancement program" in Connecticut.
Boucher, the ranking member of the state's Higher Education Committee, has been given the green light to have the idea heard before the committee.
"The idea is to have gifted 11th-graders take a qualifying test and apply to waive their final year of high school. This would allow them to begin college early," said Boucher.
Bill No. 397 would amend the law to create the program and provide academic scholarships for the students.
"Qualified students could receive a full scholarship for tuition. Their room and board would still be paid for by their parents," said Boucher. "I would like the program to put special emphasis on math, science and engineering."
Boucher points to the need for highly skilled workers in Connecticut in the areas of science, technology, engineering and manufacturing also known as STEM. In his recent announcement to expand the University of Connecticut's research arm, Gov. Dannel Malloy highlighted the area of STEM.
Data shows that from 2000 to 2010, STEM jobs grew three times faster than non-STEM jobs, and unemployment in the STEM fields are 4.4 percent lower. Responding to the needs of business, the administration's plan intends to increase STEM graduates by 47 percent, turning out a workforce that is trained for real-world jobs.
"It would be wonderful to foster this learning pipeline early and allow our gifted and talented students the opportunity to learn and live here in Connecticut," said Boucher.

Sentencing Guidelines – 6894
This seminar examines sentencing guidelines reforms in Minnesota, other states, and the federal system—the origins of these reforms (critiques of the prior, indeterminate sentencing model), underlying sentencing purposes and other normative principles, guidelines provisions and interpretive case law, relationship of guidelines rules to other criminal justice processes (e.g., prosecutorial discretion and plea bargaining), evolution of guidelines systems over time, and future prospects. Particular attention will be given to the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines, the revised Model Penal code (MPC)sentencing provisions (further developing the Minnesota approach), and possible further improvements in the Minnesota and MPC models. A term paper is required.

I thought I'd start a blog since nobody actually *reads* my emails or posts. People say they do, but then I ask hey what did you think about that 4 page essay on angle of view I posted at midnight? umm, yah, looked great!
Since I'm not creative enough (nor have the time) to come up an insightful, witty post daily (unlike this guy)
I thought I would post some gps stats on games I've officiated.
(I'm calling this "The Reckless Tackle" - comes from an email I sent a couple of years ago in which I opined that if I ever open a pub I would call it The Reckless Tackle. Or 'The Flag and Whistle')
I downloaded a free app(lication) that tracks your gps, speed, altitude etc from http://www.endomondo.com/login. Attach the blackberry with a sport armband and voila, I have a free electronic tracker.
Below are the first 3 games using this technology.
First game I used this was a Women's Tier 1. ARs and 35 min halves. The field markings are (barely) visible, but it appears I used a not bad diagonal. 1.74 km avg speed = 2.3 km/hr. (Forgot to turn it off until I reached the car).
Game #2 was with no AR's, 40 min halves. See the difference on my movement, I covered more of the field. First thing I noticed was how much deeper I went into the penalty areas compared to game #1 with AR's
And yes, that's me heading to the washroom. 3.99 total km, 2.5 km / hr avg speed.
Final game of the week was u15 girls rep, 40 min halves, with AR's. Only recorded second half: 2.01 km and 2.6 avg speed.
Take a look at the speed chart (green line). Notice the sprints throughout the half. Something to keep in mind for training - working on acceleration and the cardio for a full 90.
That's it for post #1.
Thanks to my 2 readers out there!
