A unilingual country will promote trade. Many people may not know this, but most of the worlds trade is in English. This is one of many examples to show just how English is needed to unite us as a nation. We may be a young nation, but we can show the world how sofisticsted we are by having an official language.
-AP human geography student of TVHS
It is best to go with one official language for the entire country to use so that there is no confusion when communicating. Having an official language will help everyone to know how to communicate and signs can all be in the same language. If everyone speaks the same language, it would drastically help everyone be on the same page in the same language book.
The United States is a diverse country with people from all over the world with many different mother tongues. It would be impossible for citizens to learn and accommodate every single one of these languages. English as a national language unifies Americans and makes sure they can communicate with each other.

Nelson is more than a 26-year resident of Colleyville. He has located his privately owned businesses in Colleyville for more than 20 years.
Nelson is the founder of LNO in 2000. He served as councilman and Mayor Pro Tem of Colleyville until June 2000. Thereafter he started LNO because there was no adequate newspaper coverage. There have been two newspapers started and sold to a.) Dallas Morning News and b.) Ft. Worth Star-Telegram since the inception of LNO in 2000. However, LNO continues to be the only "hyper-Local" news source reported extensively only on news that impacts the Colleyville, Grapevine, Keller, NRH and Southlake area.
Nelson has previously worked in both Television and Radio during his career.

The Theosophical Path The magazine of the movement, the cover represents the ascent of the soul.
At Point Loma, children lived in bungalows and were educated in communal nurseries. They only saw their parents on Sundays. Tingley called these youth programs the Raja-Yoga or "Kingly-Union" school. At Tingley's initiative, the commune adopted groups of Cuban children and orphans and cared for them at the Raja-Yoga school.
Tingley was a remarkable woman of keen intellect, demonstrative personality, and grandiose vision. After her death, the hugely successful example of progressive, upper-class utopian living at Point Loma could not survive.
In 1898, Dr. William H. Dower and Mrs. Francia LeDue of the Theosophical lodge in Syracuse, New York received mystical instructions to shun Tingley's teachings in favor of the original teachings of Blavatsky. In 1903 they moved to a valley near Pismo Beach, north of Santa Barbara, named it Halcyon, and instituted the Temple of the People. There they built a sanatorium, and a cooperative society named the Temple Home Association. The community experienced internal troubles throughout its existence, and in 1912 the cooperative society disbanded.
Albert Powell Warrington, an Adyar Theosophist, established a Hollywood, California outpost in 1912, named Krotona. It had few communitarian principles; instead the group shared a common Theosophist philosophy. When Hollywood became too crowded in 1924, Krotona sold their 15 acres of land and moved to the Ojai Valley, northeast of Los Angeles. Here they established a school of Theosophy.

2016 Smart Fortwo and Forfour teased
With a formal unveiling expected next week, the first factory images of the 2016 Smart Fortwo and Forfour have been released as part of a teaser video. These next-gen cars go on sale in Europe late this year as 2015 models and arrive here next summer, although only the Fortwo is scheduled for the U.S. market.
Also: The Class of 2015 -- New Vehicles Ready to Roll
Smart provided no additional information regarding its latest microcars. But based on information presented in our earlier spy shot story, it's believed these new Smart offerings will share much of their basic platform with Renault's new Twingo. The rear-engine/rear-drive layout will continue, with 3-cylinder Renault-sourced gasoline direct-injected powerplants making about 70 and 90 horses backed by a 6-speed manual transmission or optional 7-speed automatic. An EV model also is slated for America, likely fitted with a version of the powertrain found in the current Smart Fortwo ED.

FERC clarifies California feed-in tariff procedures
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today clarified for California how the state can encourage development of new electricity generation resources in a way that does not conflict with federal laws and regulations.
In today's action, FERC further clarified for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the state's three investor-owned utilities its July 2010 order that outlined how the state could implement its feed-in tariff. Feed-in tariffs typically are designed to encourage certain types of generation resources by offering a guaranteed purchase price for electricity generated from those resources under a long-term contract.
California adopted a feed-in tariff by enacting the California Waste Heat and Carbon Emissions Reduction Act (AB 1613). That state law requires investor-owned electric utilities to purchase, at a price set by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), electricity generated by eligible combined heat and power (CHP) generators.
In today's action, FERC said a proposal to employ a multi-tiered resource approach for determining avoided costs, which would set different levels of avoided costs and thus different avoided cost rate caps for different types of resources, could comply with the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act and FERC regulations.

Tactical Pants - Galls
A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
The Aransas Pass (Texas) Police Department and city manager have begun crafting a policy allowing city employees to carry concealed weapons to protect themselves from an active shooter.
Earlier this month, the City Council approved the initiative that would go into effect by August, reports the Aransas Pass Progress.
To carry a concealed weapon, employees would be required to obtain a license, pay for a psychological exam, and participate in firearms training at the police department.
"People need to understand the average response time for police is five minutes," Police Chief Eric Blanchard told the Progress. "That means people have to fend for themselves until police arrive on the scene."
Reed Chandler @ 5/18/2013 11:26 PM
I miss AP I fished there from 1961 to 2005. It good to see the city making a common sense solution to the problem that violence happens in seconds and police respond in minutes.Red
[email protected] @ 6/25/2013 8:57 AM
Damn, a logical and sane response to a common problem! And by the Chief himself. Now I understand the desire by Americans to relocate to Texas, the last of the freedom loving states, along with mine. Blues, Stay Safe.


text: Researchers at two Tulsa universities have designed a fiber optic probe to measure distances inside a frog's eyeball, an early step in artificial vision research. Peter LoPresti, an electrical engineering professor at the University of Tulsa, and Warren Finn, a physiologist at Oklahoma State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, designed the probe to help them accurately select regions of a frog's retina to stimulate. As a first step toward artificial vision, researchers at the University of Tulsa and Oklahoma State University use multimode fiber to create a probe for measuring distances inside a frog's eye. Courtesy of Warren E. Finn and Peter G. LoPresti.The team is pursuing an artificial vision system that uses electrodes to stimulate the nerve cells in the retina directly. The goal is to implant a receiver in the eye that gets signals from a transmitter mounted on special glasses. Getting a signal into the eye is not the difficult part, but turning that signal into something that the brain can use is. Before making an artificial vision system, the researchers must understand how the brain perceives and deals with retinal stimuli. Their plan is to stimulate a frog's retina and then watch the brain to see what happens. However, to place the stimulus more accurately, the scientists need to know how close the electrode is to the retina. For this, they use fiber optic interferometry. The optical probe is attached to the electrode probe that provides the stimulus. It consists of two multimode optical fibers from 3M Specialty Optical Fibers of West Haven, Conn. A 670-nm diode laser from Panasonic illuminates one fiber. The other fiber sends the reflected signal to a photodetector optimized for that wavelength and amplified by circuitry the researchers designed. LoPresti said the group chose multimode fiber because it can carry more power and the light can be coupled into it more easily. He added that it distributes the output light better as well.Recording the brain A description of the experiments to build the optical measurement probe appeared in the June issue of Applied Optics. LoPresti said that the research has continued beyond what is described there. "We have gotten to the point of reliably recording from the brain," he said. "Right now we are stimulating a small area and are looking at the difference between the signal on the left side of the brain and the right side, because there is crossover in the visual system [and sensitivity to pulse amplitude and duration]." LoPresti said that the researchers began by using visual stimuli from an amber light-emitting diode to eliminate the possibility of electrical interference. This allowed them to refine the method for recording the brain's response. He said they have begun to use electrical stimuli as well. Eventually the electrical stimuli will create a brain response similar to an optical stimulus. Using this, the group hopes to restore some type of sight to people with vision problems such as macular degeneration, in which the light-sensitive cells are damaged but the nerves remain intact.

Great song of loyalty and love.
- "Still On My Brain", Justin Timberlake. This song is all about how a guy can't get this one girl out of his thoughts. He is wanting her to know just how much he loves her and how it is still so true. This is a great selection for a girlfriend ringtone.

Justice Involved refers to those who have become involved with the law and justice system.
LEAD: Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion
LEAD is a pre-booking diversion program that allows officers to redirect low-level offenders engaged in drugs or prostitution activity to community-based services instead of jail and prosecution. LEAD participants begin working immediately with case managers to access services. LEAD's goals are to reduce the harm a drug offender causes him or herself, as well as the harm that the individual is causing the surrounding community. This public safety program has the potential to reduce recidivism rates for low-level offenders and preserve expensive criminal justice system resources for more serious or violent offenders.
The Medical Amnesty Initiative
Medical Amnesty legislation saves lives. Each year, thousands of young people tragically lose their lives to alcohol poisoning and other alcohol related unintentional injuries. In situations where a minor is in need of emergency medical attention, studies show the worry is more about getting in to trouble and receiving a Minor in Possession/Consumption of alcohol (MIP) ticket, instead of the well being of that person. As a result, lives are put at risk. Medical Amnesty legislation (911 Good Samaritan, 911 Lifeline) can eliminate these common fears by guaranteeing a limited immunity to the underage and intoxicated individuals who seek help for themselves or another individual who is in need of immediate medical attention.
National Association of Drug Court Professionals
This extraordinary group of innovative judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and clinical professionals created a common-sense approach to improving the justice system by using a combination of judicial monitoring and effective treatment to compel drug-using offenders to change their lives.
The National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice
The National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice was founded in 2001 to provide a national focal point aimed at improving policies and programs for youth with mental health disorders in contact with the juvenile justice system. As research in this field grew, it became apparent that the vast majority of youth not only have diagnosable mental health disorders, but more than half meet criteria for co-occurring substance use disorders.
Reentry and Corrections Consumer Education-Federal Trade Commission
The FTC's free materials help reentering and incarcerated consumers learn the basics of managing money, spotting and avoiding scams, and making buying decisions that are best for them and their families. You can use these free materials in workshops, community fairs, gatherings — or for your own personal use.
Reentry Education Toolkit
This tool kit offers guidelines, tools, and resources to help education providers implement the Reentry Education Framework. The Framework promotes the development of an education continuum spanning facility- and community-based reentry education programs. It has five critical components—program infrastructure, strategic partnerships, education services, transition processes, and sustainability.
SAMHSA's GAIN Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation
In the field of behavioral health, the term evidence-based practices (EBPs) refers to interventions that have been rigorously tested, have yielded consistent, replicable results, and have proven safe, beneficial, and effective for most people diagnosed with mental illness and substance use disorders. Several years ago, SAMHSA's GAINS Center convened expert panel meetings to assess the empirical evidence on the applicability of several key EBPs for justice-involved persons. The lead expert for each of these panels created summary EBP briefs subsequent to these meetings.

Drink Water!
Drinking water used to be a once every 2 to 3 week thing for me…yes…I mean that literally.
But once I decided to work on getting healthier, drinking water was the first habit I incorporated into my daily habits. At first, I was not so successful. I would constantly forget about water all together and if I was lucky, I would get one glass down for the night was over. Then, like potty training a child, a made it a priority.
If you have kids, you know EXACTLY what Im talking about. I put myself on a time schedule. I divided a gallon of water by 16oz water bottles and determined that I would have 8 16oz bottle every 2 hours. I start at 9AM and go from there. My schedule starts early due to getting the kids to school so it goes something like this:
I start at 9AM, 11AM (I have 2: this is my gym workout time), 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 7PM, and 9PM.
Several things happened:
1. I no longer found myself mindlessly snacking as I was always so full of water.
2. My complexion improved.
3. I went to the bathroom ALOT (at first)
4. I got headaches (which I found out later was because my body was having withdrawals from the caffeine in all of the coke I drank!)
As our household becomes more and more "Green" I have stopped using plastic water bottles and moved toward cool aluminum water bottles from LuLu Lemon!

Students Offer Recommendations to Improve Uber & Lyft Drivers' Safety
This past Spring, the School of Public health piloted an innovative new course, "Public Health Leadership, Planning and Advocacy Skills." The course offered two five-week modules, each with a project for a community-based organization client. For the "planning and evaluation" module, students planned a health and safety training program for City of Seattle app-based drivers (Uber and Lyft), and proposed an evaluation design to assess its effectiveness. The students came up with several recommendations to address health issues in app-based drivers. They presented those ideas to community partners from Teamsters 117 and Puget Sound Sage, both of which have been involved in recent efforts to organize these drivers. Faculty included Professor Noah Seixas, Jenn Hagedorn (Department of Health Services) and Trevor Peckham (PhD student and research scientist in the department).

SHIP Grant For Research Investigating UV Radiation Exposure in Cannabis Production Facilities
Little is known about workers' exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the 'grow' lights used by indoor marijuana farms and the cannabis industry. So, Max Chmielinski for his master's degree studied exposures in two cannabis production facilities and found that light intensities may exceed recommended safe exposure levels if safety controls weren't used and workers didn't wear protective eyewear. Now a PhD student, Chmielinski continues to study UV exposures in this industry and is joined in his effort by Trecia Ehrlich, a student in the Community-Oriented Public Health Practice MPH degree program (Department of Health Services). They are working with faculty Christopher Simpson and Tania Busch Isaksen on a project that partners with the Cannabis Alliance and that is funded by a Safety & Health Investment Projects (SHIP) grant from the Department of Labor & Industries' Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Chmielinski, Ehrlich, and faculty will assess industry training needs and communication methods, as well as measure exposures in five facilities with a variety of lighting technologies and process workflows. They will also evaluate the effectiveness of UV sensors that can indicate workers' exposures and the effectiveness of protective garments to reduce worker exposure to UV radiation. Findings will be shared with those who work in the marijuana industry as well as the general public.

I did manage to go to music therapy this past week. You may remember that I bought a guitar back pack and small practice amp to help make this happen. The therapy was good I left a little early. We did have a new member there who played improvisational music on the acoustic guitar. I played along with some jazzy bass notes.
Did you know I play electric bass? Usually I find music playing to cause anxiety because it is performance art. But Harry Belafonti has said all good performers are nervous. I am not saying I am great performer just good. Many other musicians I play with are also good. It is not too difficult to be a good musician. I have been playing bass for about 30 years now.Posted by petert at March 26, 2006 01:20 AM

Just because you're going through a rough situation doesn't mean it's your final destination. Meet motivational speaker Billionaire P.A. He came out of his situation of homelessness by speaking his dream into existence. Sounds like something you've heard over and over, but he did it. And he has the results to prove it.
He's been featured on NBC, CBS Radio, Ebony, BET, The Steve Harvey Morning Show and many others.
Proctor & Gamble/Tide even sponsored a mini-documentary on his life and took us into the center of how he created Wealthy Minds. Sleeping in the back of his truck in Northern California with no money, food, nor family and a broken spirit and mind. This would motivated Billionaire P.A., to create over 4,000 inspirational quotes that would go on to not only inspire him to greatness, but others as he now infects billions of people to speak their dreams into existence and develop a Wealthy Mind.
Stay in the loop with Billionaire P.A. at WealthyMindsOnline.com

Aircraft tracking problems
Roger Forster (Letters, May 2014) is surprised that pilots have the ability to turn off their aircraft's SSR transponder from within the cockpit, suggesting that it should not be possible to do this while engines are running.
Unlike a mobile phone, which communicates with one basestation while monitoring the power of the neighbouring ones, the SSR transponder is replying to many ground transmitters as part of a country-wide network of radar systems. Aircrew are asked to switch off the SSR (strictly they switch it to standby) when the information becomes a hindrance to controllers; for example when the aircraft has landed and the now out of date information is a distraction or causes clutter on the radar screen.
While I can think of other solutions to these problems, there is a much more important reason why the crew can switch the SSR off. Imagine being over the Atlantic when there is a fire in the wiring. Imagine the crew smell smoke coming from the one system they cannot switch off. According to a 2010 study by the Royal Aeronautical Society, more than two-thirds of aircraft fires between 1992 and 2000 were electrical, and the FAA reported that there are more than 900 smoke or fume-related incidents in the US every year.
Smoke, fumes and fires are a lot more common than one might expect. Aircraft are complex and the bigger safety picture must be examined when proposing solutions to very rare events.

The suggestion by geostrategist Azmi Hassan that only the US has the technology to detect objects in the deep ocean (http://bit.ly/1otuEj4) is incorrect. British and European scientists have also been locating instrument packages laid on the sea floor for periods up to at least a year's duration for many years. Also, long-range sonars and deep-towed instruments with higher resolution sonars have created images of the seabed.
There are two surprising features of the acoustic beacons on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370's flight data recorder: the reported frequency of 37kHz and the fact that it pinged for only 30 days. The circle of detectability by a surface ship over a 37kHz beacon in ocean depths to 6,000m is very small and unreliable due to the high absorption of sound at that frequency. Ocean scientists have used frequencies in the range of 8-12kHz for this purpose. The circle of detectability radius at 10kHz would approach the water depth, corresponding to ranges around 10km and transmission angles up to 45° from the vertical. (Shallower transmission paths become unreliable due to variable refraction).
If the transmissions are at regular intervals, most of the battery energy will be wasted if there is no ship near enough to hear them, so it makes more sense for the beacons to be transponders, only transmitting when an interrogating surface ship is within range. The listening receiver on the transponder needs very little power, so battery power should last much longer than 30 days. The aviation regulatory agencies might reconsider the specifications for the underwater elements of the FDR.

Shifting to LEDs
One way of reducing the high-cost disadvantage of LEDs (Letters, May 2014) may be to separate the lightbulbs from the energy convertors. Those wishing to replace low-efficiency lighting with LEDs could then supply an entire lighting circuit from a single source, and avoid additional wiring costs by reconnecting the existing wiring. The conversion becomes a matter of replacing fittings, and reducing the supply voltage instead of the current.
Combing the energy conversion with the LED chip is convenient, but is wasteful since the whole unit is discarded when the chip fails. The assumption that the answer to cost is to make the energy converter cheaper, and design it for the shorter life of the chip, encapsulates the philosophy of the throwaway lifestyle we take for granted.

In a house move four years ago I inherited a five-lamp luminaire on which I wanted CFLs with dimming. Being advised that it was not possible, I did some tests which astonished me. Installing five CFLs and a dimmer switch, and connecting my popular-make multimeter measuring AC Volts across the lamps, I duly found that at any voltage above 150V the lamps stayed steady with no noticeable dimming effect, and at any lower voltage the lamps started flickering.
On replacing three of the CFLs with three of the original tungsten-filament lamps (having similar rated lumen outputs) and retaining just two CFLs, I found that the CFLs retained their full brightness without any flickering down to a meter reading of around 30V. And at this voltage there wasn't, of course, any light from the filament lamps. The result was that the dimmer switch gave a smooth range of light output from around one-third to full brightness - with effectively all the dimming being on only the filament lamps. This has now been in daily use for four years with no failures of any CLFs or the dimmer switch - just two of the filament lamps.
Can a lighting expert throw any 'illumination' on these surprising characteristics?
Geoffrey White MIET
Port Appin, Argyll
One of the LED don'ts in your May article (http://bit.ly/1jLGxy0) was "Don't have LED sources directly within the line of site… as this can cause visual discomfort if the source is in view." If only this had been thought of by the powers that be who decreed that new cars should have these wretched daytime running lights. Up until recently if a car so fitted approached me while driving I either had to close my eyes or look away. Not good for safety. I now wear sunglasses while driving, whatever the weather, and find that I can tolerate the approaching lights.
David A Hall CEng MIET
The greatest drawback in replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs is that they often cause interference to portable radios and other equipment, to such an extent that they become unusable. Interference covers quite a wide frequency range from below 100kHz to around 300MHz. All devices in this range seem to be affected and include LW, FM, DAB and even Wi-Fi and one's Internet connection speed.
It's claimed that this may be due to foreign manufacturers omitting 'unnecessary' filter components from their LEDs' internal switched-mode driver circuits after submission for approval, to save money.

If it ain't broke
David Parsons (Letters, May 2014) writes about how he is still using the battery charger he made as a 'home office' job while working at laboratories in north London in the early 1960s. I worked at GEC East Lane Wembley from 1940 to 1949 and in 1941 made a battery charger, winding the mains transformer using a coil-winder that was in a local workshop in one of the labs. I also still use my charger, which is now some 70 years old. Isn't this a truly remarkable coincidence?
Keith Taylor
Bransgore, Dorset
In 1961 I joined what I suspect was the same company as David Parsons as a sandwich-student on a four-year course. While in a development laboratory during one of the industrial periods of the course, I built a 12V 1A-regulated power supply to use with various pieces of amateur radio equipment. Most of the components were parts that I had salvaged from surplus wartime radio equipment, but all the transistors were old development samples.
A few years later I modified it to operate at 6V or 12V and added a voltage control that allowed the output to be increased enough to use it as a battery charger. Until a few years ago it was in regular use for charging my motorcycle batteries. I then changed the type of battery in my pre-war motorcycle to a small, sealed lead-acid type with only 6Ah capacity. To give the correct charge rate for this smaller battery, I added a switch to select between a current limit of either 1A or 0.6A. Other than this modification, the power supply/charger has functioned faultlessly for over 50 years. It is still in use every two months to refresh the charge in my two motorcycle batteries.
John Beddows CEng MIET
In my garage is a rather dusty white metal box, the size of a large biscuit tin, embossed 'Property of Walls'. It houses a well-earthed homemade 6V/12V car battery charger that is no longer used for health and safety reasons. Made around 1955, the components were obtained from RAF National Service surplus items and second-hand kit bought in the Charing Cross Road. What a recycling nation we used to be!

Give buses the hard shoulder
A few weeks ago I travelled by Megabus coach from Manchester to London. A mere £5 and four and a half hours - and not much slower than a car as the bus sped through the London traffic by virtue of the bus lanes. It arrived just two minutes behind schedule.
There is currently 'improvement' of the motorway system to allow cars to use the hard shoulder during busy periods. This does reduce journey times slightly, but the net effect is to create shorter, wider traffic jams with little advantage, as experience has shown that traffic expands to fill the space available.
A far better solution would be to allocate the hard shoulders as bus and coach lanes. This would be a win-win situation. With dedicated lanes, buses would have even speedier journeys, particularly at peak times when they would be an attractive option. This would attract more users from their cars, thus also easing car congestion.
The system could be further improved by having bus interchanges at motorway junctions - providing a high-speed national network. With comfortable modern coaches and the use of hard shoulders, maybe the time is ripe for this. At a fraction of the cost of the HS2 proposal, this could make a significant improvement to our transport system.
We need to act fast. Once allowed, the motoring community would be reluctant to give up the use of hard shoulders.

Making smart meters workable
The term 'smart meter' seems to be the answer to everything these days and the UK specification tries to do everything - it is effectively a billing system built into the meter complete with prepay functionality and a cut-off switch. It is so complex that the rollout programme has been delayed and delayed as more and more issues emerge. Having the cut-off switch means it is part of the critical national infrastructure, which means there are security issues, which means new secure protocols are required, which means new key management services have to be set up and so it goes on and delays continue.
Smart metering is rather different where, as in France, the meter is simply a sensor on the network providing consumption data. Pricing information can be easily downloaded from the Web and costs calculated using half-hour metering data either locally on a device in the home or online and cost considerably less than the £12bn quoted by DECC for the British roll out.
Perhaps if this approach had been adopted in Britain we would have had smart-metering systems being deployed by now rather than facing another six-month delay.
Smart meters in themselves will not save energy but a smart-metering system that feeds into home energy-management systems with built in controls would - as being deployed in Japan.
John Cowburn CEng FIEE
Director, Smart Energy Networks
Smart meters may be useful in industry if you have one for each production area, say, but for domestic use they are an overkill - over complex and therefore largely a waste of money. All that is needed of a domestic smart meter is to provide consumption figures remotely without someone having to call to read it.

Benefits of space exploration
I find it incredible that E&T readers question the need to investigate the possibility of colonising Mars (Letters, May 2014). Ignoring the impact that space exploration has already had on technology and society, many of the big issues that plague the human race today can be alleviated, if not solved, by increased space exploration, not less. Exploration always leads exploitation and subsequent development.
The exploitation of resources known to exist on the Moon alone could provide material to build solar satellite powerstations and space habitats. The sunlight energy available for harvest in space is of the order of ten times that on the planet surface, and it doesn't suffer from night-time and poor weather. The habitats can produce large quantities of food without pesticides.
All this has been looked at in studies as far back as the mid-1970s. It is a combination of mental inertia, the influence of interest groups and lack of political will that has kept us back from realising the great benefits of space exploitation.

'Vanity' of DSLR users
It was entertaining to see the For & Against debate in the May 2014 issue of E&T (http://bit.ly/debate-1404 )on whether smartphone cameras pose a serious threat to the DSLR market. From the point-and-pray of the old box Brownie with its pathetic prism viewfinder, cameras evolved via the Rollei twin-lens to try to show the user what the photograph would look like. The single-lens reflex was the final step for film cameras, with a mirror to show the exact view.
Every digital camera shows the exact image that will be captured, whether it be a mobile phone or an expensive DSLR. The DSLR is the ultimate vanity product, shaped to proclaim "Look, I'm a real photographer" with its clumsy bulk, when many more ergonomic designs would be better.

Vacuum cleaner mystery
Why is the efficiency of domestic vacuum cleaners so low? The question arises from my retirement research project, the Coanda disk aircraft (www.coanda.co.uk), which is intended as a small unmanned aerial vehicle for urban area use.
This has involved studying fluid dynamics, a new field to me. The Coanda disk aircraft uses a turbine-like fan similar to the type commonly used in ordinary domestic vacuum cleaners but required to deliver induced air power of the order of 70W for an all up vehicle weight of about 2kg.
To help understand the problems of designing a power unit I have investigated the common vacuum cleaner and found that whereas the input electrical power might be of the order of 1kW; the induced air power at the business end is typically less than 0.5W.

Electric vehicles
I would like to draw attention to really good example of consumers working with manufacturers and distribution network operators to understand how electric vehicles will affect our demand profiles and technology to manage their demand.
My Electric Avenue (http://myelectricavenue.info/) has demonstrated that consumers do care and want to be involved in developing innovation. It is also an excellent way to enthuse the next generation of engineers.
Dr Mary Gillie CEng
Recently I had to replace several 13A sockets in a newly purchased residence because they offered undue resistance to the insertion of standard 13A plugs. One of these sockets had a broken neutral contact. Investigation showed that a previous occupant had used plastic socket covers in the belief that they would guard against accidents to children.
I wholeheartedly endorse the letter from Peter Munro in your May 2014 issue. The general public are largely unaware that BS1363 socket outlets have built-in safety shutters. They are also unaware that the widely available 'safety' covers are potentially dangerous and do not have to conform to any established safety standards.
I pointed out the dangers to a national accident-prevention organisation and suggested that stricter regulation should be introduced. The reply was that whilst they do not recommend the use of such devices, "there is considerable merit in the use of socket covers as part of wider efforts by new parents to recognise and respond to everyday domestic hazards."
The same reply contained the incredible statement that, "Whilst it is conceivable that poor design of socket covers might cause damage and shorting within electrical sockets, this is more likely to be the result of wear and tear using ordinary 13A plugs with their hard metal contacts rather than plastic socket covers."
David G Buckley C Eng MIET
Milton Keynes
In April this year, South Africa adopted a new standard for socket outlets based on IEC 906. For decades, South Africa has used a 15A round pin design which was abandoned in UK when the 13A rectangular pin design was adopted.
Because of the way the sockets are recessed, it is impossible to touch the pins when putting in or taking out a plug. For this reason, it is regarded as the safest design available. Yes, the shutters over the live and neutral sockets can be opened by using something to insert into the earth socket; there's no practical way to prevent this. But the compact design will make it impossible to design socket covers which can be used to do this.
It has one other great advantage: the compactness means that multiple sockets can be installed in one conduit box, making it easier to avoid the sort of electrical spider's webs that adorn many offices and kitchens.

But then. I bought a bunch of yarn from Harlequin last time I was up north. Then I very generously helped a local knitter de-stash some of her Wollmeise. Last Thursday Aldi was selling sock yarn again. Of 6 possible color combinations I bought only 5, which I think shows admirable restraint on my part. And after a weekend of photographing all this yarn and cropping uploading cataloguing the pics on Ravelry, I do not have the energy to do the progress photos for all these projects. I am starting to think that the key difference between me and a successful knitwear designer is that I can't be bothered to faff around with pictures. I just want to knit and do lots of math.
Maybe I should find an aspiring designer who loves taking pictures and hates math. Maybe we can make a deal.
Anyway, since I do have all these yarn pics, I can at least share one with you. This is all of the Aldi sock yarn I've managed to accumulate, minus the stuff that's already been turned into socks.
|I regret nothing.

Mark Dahlquist joined the University Libraries in February as humanities and social sciences librarian, bringing a rich history of experiences in higher education.
Where are you originally from? What's your educational background?
I'm originally from the Chicago area. My Ph.D. in English Renaissance literature and my MLIS are both from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
What's your title? How would you describe your position at the Miami Libraries?
I'm a humanities and social sciences librarian, and I serve as liaison to the departments of English and media, journalism & film. My job is to make sure that students and faculty members in these departments have access to the information resources, including books, that they need, as well as to provide research support and instructional support for these departments. I also really enjoy providing reference services to library users outside these departments.
What drew you to work in a library environment? Why did you choose the Miami Libraries?
I've worked in a variety of libraries, including English, art, science, and rare book libraries. In every case, what drew me to the libraries are spaces where people come to learn from others and to consider and begin new projects of all kinds.
What's the best part of working in a library?
Meeting and working with people with different research interests and the constant exposure to ideas and information from unfamiliar perspectives.
What's one thing you wish college students knew about using a library?
Using library resources will result in you producing work that is better: work that will not only be more interesting to your readers, but also—and most importantly—more interesting to you. A little more research will often take you a long way further.
What are you most excited about tackling in your new role?
I've particularly enjoyed getting to know the research and creative focuses of individual students and faculty members here at Miami.
What's your favorite book?
I'm not sure that I have a favorite book. One I would mention, however, that I've had a lasting relationship with is Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "Brothers Karamazov."
Any hobbies?
I enjoy hiking and camping, and am looking forward to exploring Southwest Ohio.
What's something people don't know about you that might surprise them?
In high school, I interviewed the great science fiction author Frederik Pohl. I accidentally poked a hole in his armchair with my pencil.

Cannot stomach Mitt Romney but do like running mate Paul Ryan. Not because I know whether or not Ryan is a good man or suitable for vice president. But because he physically reminds me of my first love, also a Catholic boy who treated a woman in public with the reverence of Mary Madonna, and in the bedroom like Madonna the singer.
But, what are the options anymore? Phony liberalism or phony conservatism? The last time I held my nose and voted was election 2004. Didn't do any good, somehow we still had 4 more years of Bush. I suppose we can be grateful we didn't get Jeb Bush after Dubya.
In 2008 I didn't even bother to vote. First time in my life, it just seemed such a game, all image and no substance. However, I would have voted for McCain had he not chosen Sarah Palin. Sarah was initially, briefly interesting to listen to but she couldn't hold serious attention any longer than a one hit wonder personality. She proved early in the game she was going for media darling rather than a woman of substance; unable to finish out her governorship in Alaska as she chased book deals, speaking tours, reality shows, the occasionally talking head opinionater on Fox News. Yeeshish.
I can just hear those naysayers saying I'm judging Ryan exactly on image rather than substance, that I am doing exactly what I detest others for doing, blah blah blah. That's the point, all pols are image and no substance. But I respect your faith in the religion of voting - I too used to attend the Church of Chads.
Those around me no longer tell me if I don't vote I can't complain – because the truth is – that bumper sticker fallacy is obvious - if you DO vote, you can't complain. You vote, you asked for it, you signal your acceptance of the status quo. I no longer participate in your voting rites.

Goal striving and achievement contribute to our happiness and life satisfaction. Maintaining the motivation despite the obstacles and unplanned influential factors that come in our path is somewhat challenging to everyone.
These 4 tips can help you maintain your motivation easier.
1.Focus on what you can control and especially on the process – There are many factors that play a role and can influence your goal achievement. Some are within your control such as your behavior, decisions, attitude, appraisals and some are not, like other people's reactions, preferences and motivation to collaborate or participate (e.g. career goals), genetics, hormones, body's reaction (e.g. weight loss) etc.
The factors that are not within your control are still influential on your goal achievement. Focusing only on the specific what or how much you want to achieve and not taking into account the factors, which are out of your control and slow you down, will lead to loss of motivation, anger and frustrations when you do not achieved the goal completely and/or according to your time planning. However, if you focus on your process , the journey, your actions and efforts to achieve the progress as you come another step closer to your goal, then you will feel more motivated to keep perusing that goal, as well as, more in control and confident in all that you can do, your improvements and the undertaken personal growth.
2. Make plans– define your goal in a specific and measurable way. Make a plan that specifies every little step that you need to take and the time you set for yourself to obtain it. Noting the details, the resources that you require and making it into a collection of small goals will make your plan feel more achievable and less daunting. Be realistic with your expectations and deadlines. If you tend to procrastinate, set for yourself right from the start some countermeasures. Achieving each little step of your plan will raise your motivation, self- efficacy and fortitude.
3. Focus more on concrete action taking- We sometimes get caught up in daydreaming or fantasying about what life will be like should our goals be achieved. The expression" I can taste it" is often being said when it comes to goal achievements. But we need to realize that dreaming about it will not make it happen and in reality challenges, unplanned circumstances and negative things occur that can make the goal achievement not as rosy and easy as we see it in our fantasies.
Thinking about the benefits that you will enjoy should the goal will be achieved can boost your motivation but with it you also need to define your goal, take action and brainstorm how you will cope and problem solve potential obstacles. It is also beneficial to think about your strengths and weaknesses and on what you need to do in order to overcome these weakness and strengthen your resources (e.g. seek advice, hire a professional, gather information, learn new skills by taking a course, practice to get more experience before you start, observe others etc)
4. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation– In the beginning we often feel energized, excited, enthusiastic and bursting with motivation but with time these levels can drop. It is a natural process. It is up to you to keep it up and persevere. Motivation is kept up by intrinsic reasons such as joy, pleasure, need to learn, fulfillment, satisfaction, alignment with your values along with external motivation such as money, status, material gains, what others will think of us etc. Extrinsic motivation is also related to a need to avoid punishment or negative situation/ outcome. To keep your motivation up you need to be in touch with your true motives.
In the long term intrinsic motivations are more efficient, helpful and rewarding when it comes to goal achievement. That is not to say that you should not indulge and give yourself small extrinsic rewards with each small achievement. Celebrating and embracing your small achievements also contributes to increased efficacy and motivation.
What do you do to preserve and keep your determination and motivation levels up?

Next terrorist attack with Mossad agents filming it is going to create a time/space warp of over-coincidence.
People will be keeping their eyes open this time.
WASHINGTON -- The CIA station chief opened the locked box containing the sensitive equipment he used from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, to communicate with CIA headquarters in Virginia, only to find that someone had tampered with it. He sent word to his superiors about the break-in. The incident, described by three former senior U.S. intelligence officials, might have been dismissed as just another cloak-and-dagger incident in the world of international espionage, except that the same thing had happened to the previous station chief in Israel. It was a not-so-subtle reminder that, even in a country friendly to the United States, the CIA was itself being watched. In a separate episode, according to another two former U.S. officials, a CIA officer in Israel came home to find the food in the refrigerator had been rearranged. In all the cases, the U.S. government believes Israel's security services were responsible. Such meddling underscores what is widely known but rarely discussed outside intelligence circles: Despite inarguable ties between the U.S. and its closest ally in the Middle East and despite statements from U.S. politicians trumpeting the friendship, U.S. national security officials consider Israel to be, at times, a frustrating ally and a genuine counterintelligence threat. In addition to what the former U.S. officials described as intrusions in homes in the past decade, Israel has been implicated in U.S. criminal espionage cases and disciplinary proceedings against CIA officers and blamed in the presumed death of an important spy in Syria for the CIA during the administration of President George W. Bush. The CIA considers Israel its No. 1 counterintelligence threat in the agency's Near East Division, the group that oversees spying across the Middle East, according to current and former officials.

What does Jesus really want from His followers? This is a question that many Christians worry about daily, because they want to serve God and live a Christian life. However many followers get caught up in other aspects of their lives and focus on their careers, relationships, finances and other major choices over doing what Jesus wants us to do.
Jesus cares about those areas of our life too; however there are actions we should be taking that honor the Will of Jesus. We should be submitting ourselves to the things Jesus asked of us in the Bible and do so daily. What Jesus wants us to do right now is written out explicitly for us so that we understand exactly how to honor Him fully.
Don't hesitate or put it off any longer. Make sure you are being an active Christian and honoring Jesus through these actions now.
