When you rise to start your day, what anchors you for how you will live that day? Many people are off to the races from the moment their feet hit the floor. Some grab their phones to check emails or Facebook before they even throw off the covers. How often do we rush into our day without pausing to set our intentions for the day?
What are your intentions for your life? What are your intentions for this next month…for this day? Intentions are the purposes or goals behind your actions…what you INTEND to accomplish. It is common for people to live unintentionally, allowing the demands of family, children, work, or culture to carry them along in life. Then, at the end of their life, they look back with regret, wishing they had lived differently. We have the opportunity to do it differently, though, and experience a richer existence!
To live intentionally means to take responsibility for our lives. Living intentionally throws off the victim mentality that leads us to feel like our stressful or unwanted life circumstances are everyone else's fault and begins to assess what is within our control. We stop blaming and begin to take action. When anchored in our personal values and priorities, living intentionally produces a life more aligned with the desires of our heart.
So, how can you set your intentions? One practice that seems to be undervalued and left out of many of our lives is grounding ourselves spiritually each day. Spiritual grounding is to get out of our heads and into our hearts, connecting with something bigger than ourselves and the deeper purposes of our lives.
As a Christian, I daily anchor myself in relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, & Father God. I take a few minutes in a quiet place (in some seasons this has been in the bathroom or the shower) and I remind myself who I am in relation to my God. I own my need for forgiveness and desire to have a loving, merciful, and generous heart towards others, even when they wrong me. I remind myself what I have been created for and the character I want to exhibit in my daily activities and interactions with others. I open myself up for fresh wisdom for the day to wash over me, as well as creative direction. I welcome the Spirit to empower me and strengthen me as I acknowledge my own fears and sense of human limitation. THEN, I start my day… with THIS INTENTION!
As a result, I have peace and joy and energy to serve and love and give generously. By setting my intentions on a regular basis through a practice of daily spiritual grounding, I am becoming more of who I believe I'm created to be. It has taken me years to develop this practice…this discipline…and it's still evolving all the time, but I no longer am carried along by the rushing culture around me. I am choosing my path as I align myself with what is important to me. And, I am having a blast living this life, as I face each day with intention…with God!
I encourage you, if you don't already have a practice of setting your intentions each day, to spend 5 minutes at the start of your day to remind yourself who you are and what you want to exude in your being that day. Allow the Spirit to wash over you with love…THEN start your day. I pray you'd experience a greater richness of life as you practice such intention in the days ahead.
Peace, love….and much joy!

Visitors to the Yuasa stand got a sneak preview of the system, ahead of its winter 2017 launch, and tried their hand at various training modules delivered in a dynamic video format.
Always Check The Battery
Launching later this summer, Yuasa's Always Check The Battery scheme aims to help workshops improve their customer service and battery sales by checking the battery of every vehicle they service or repair. Last year, Yuasa undertook a major workshop trial of the scheme and the conclusive results were revealed on the GS Yuasa stand.
Yuasa YBX and GS product ranges
The Original Equipment quality YBX Automotive range is trusted by technicians and customers across the UK for its unrivalled quality, reliability and performance. Examples of Yuasa's YBX Automotive, Cargo, Leisure, Marine and Garden batteries were displayed alongside accessories such as Smart Chargers, Battery Analysers and the award-winning Yu-Fit tool.

What are B Vitamins?
You have probably heard of these from your nutritionist, at the gym or fitness magazine. B vitamins play an important role in a number of metabolic processes taking place in our bodies- including the release of energy from the food we eat and maintaining the proper functioning of our body's immune system.
The body cannot create B vitamins itself, therefore, we have to get them through diet. Like any other vitamins, we only require small quantities of B vitamins. You can get these by eating a healthy balanced diet which is varied. Deficiency from B vitamins can impact severely on your health.

Cover Story
This issue's cover is from a stunning new picture book, Mary's Secret by David McKee (Andersen Press, 0 86264 909 9, £9.99). An ecological fable about doing without cars, McKee's story with its bright pictures full of well observed detail is set within Mary's cheerful family and at her school. His bold, painterly illustrations use the page so confidently and dextrously that their quirky, decorative perspectives seem entirely natural. Thanks to Andersen Press for their help in producing this September cover.

That the cover design includes the words 'Award-winning series' suggests that the award was won without the help of this title. I like to think that if the jury were in any doubt then the arrival of this one would have clinched it - for it is an excellent look at neurophysiology and a more convincing contribution to understanding than some of its series predecessors. You need a cool head to explain this sort of stuff - it is a tough test for any writer and Arnold does well, with his 'Horrible' approach needing rather less getting-past than in other volumes. Entertaining, informative and cheap - form a disorderly queue please.

9 Anxiety-Reducing Habits That Every Grownass Woman Should Know
Most people, at some point, have experienced anxiety about something in their life. Maybe a job interview was super nerve-wracking or a public speaking event had you feeling nervous. Those are all pretty typical anxiety-inducing situations. Sometimes stress really helps people be on their A game, but other times it's more of a hindrance. That's why it's important to know some of the smart, anxiety-reducing habits that every grownass woman should know so she can calm herself down in high stress situations and shine like she's supposed to.
According to the Anxiety.org, anxiety is the body's way of reacting to stressful situations, danger, or unfamiliarity. It's a natural reaction that helps people stay alert and focused. For many people, anxiety episodes come in waves that are attributed to a certain stressful situation. For others, their stress is on all of the time and sometimes without a rational trigger. "It is a problem when your anxiety begins taking a toll on your mental and physical health affecting work and relationships," social worker Kimberly Hershenson tells Romper. "When your mind is racing and negative thoughts are going on a loop, sleep becomes impossible."
You may be able to deal alone with a few anxiety-reducing tools or you may need more specialized help from an expert. Either way, learning these nine anxiety-reducing techniques are essential to your journey towards ultimate grownass woman zen.
1. Slow Down
"We are being bombarded by information left and right every single second, asked to do more, be more, cram more into our brains," Kimberly Jonas, Reiki master, essential oil therapist, and alchemist of BodyMantra, tells Romper. "It's up to us to pace ourselves, find the tools that will allow us to sustain."
As the controller of your own life you can set the pace and decide what speed is comfortable for you. Do you say "yes" to another work project? Do you accept this dinner party invitation? Can you handle another thing on your plate? Only you can decide with an honest answer.
2. Breathe More
It sounds so simple, but when you're racing through life, breathing can be the hardest thing to do.
"We have the power to thwart the burnout and overwhelm with the simple act of slowing down and breathing," Jonas says. "No better practice than a five minute pause to stop what you're doing, close your eyes, and take a series of deep, cleansing breaths." She adds that breaths instantly reset your system and help you move through your day from a place of equilibrium and not frenzy.
3. Have A Meditation Practice
A meditation practice is good to have even if you're not a total yogi. Thanks to technology, anyone can learn how to meditate without leaving their home.
"Search guided meditation on YouTube or download a free app such as 10 percent happier (which teaches you meditation techniques) and meditate even if it's for five minutes," Hershenson says.
4. Use Positive Affirmations
"Often a vicious cycle of stress, anxiety, fear and negative self-talk can quickly develop, we can lose sleep, feel powerless, out of control and fatigued," Leena Guptha, dean of graduate studies at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, tells Romper. "Using positive affirmations repeatedly can have a calming effect when we are stressed or anxious."
So what are affirmations? You can borrow some of mine which include:
I am a total badass.
I love the shape of my arms and my eyes.
I am exactly where I need to be right now.
Guptha says affirmations are great because they can help combat anxiety and turn our thoughts into those of calmness, peace, and confidence.
5. Remember To Dance
"There is nothing that a good dance can't cure," Jonas says. "Whether it's in your living room, a class at the local gym, or hitting the dance floor with friends on a night out, dance has the power to take your mind away from distraction and overwhelm."
Additionally, Jonas says dancing can dislodge negative emotions and bring you back to what's important in life. She also added that you don't have to look like a professional dancer to dance. Just move from your soul and dance in a way that makes you feel free.
6. Make A Daily Gratitude List
"Making a daily gratitude list before bed by writing down 10 things you are grateful for," Hershenson says. "Focusing on what is good in your life as opposed to what is 'going wrong with your life' calms you down before going to sleep."
It doesn't even really need to be that deep. She says it can be anything from your family, legs to walk on, or reality TV. Whatever it is, just write it down with no judgement.
7. Spend Some Time In Solitude
"Doing something just for yourself every day is crucial to mental stress," Hershenson says. She recommends having a daily routine of some kind that allows you to be alone. It could be as simple as having tea or coffee while reading the newspaper or doing a 10 minute stretch.
8. Practice Self-Acceptance
Practicing self-acceptance is all about recognizing the control you have in life. It's also about accepting that sometimes, you don't have control. Hershenson recommends you "make a list of what you can control in the situation causing you anxiety (your reaction) and what you can't control (your boss' behavior)." Then try to "focus on what you can control to make change and accept what you cannot control."
9. Reach Out To Someone
Sometimes, anxiety is more than a few episodes here and there. Sometimes, it takes over your life and that's when you might need a little help.
"Let others know how you're feeling so you don't have to cope with anxiety alone," Hershenson says. She recommends reaching out to a friend, family member, or a therapist if you recognize that the anxiety is too much for you to deal with alone.

What does "jailbreak the sacred" even mean?
Have you ever heard the phrase, "don't throw the baby out with the bathwater?" When we jailbreak an idea or a tradition, we're taking the baby out of the bathwater before we dump it. But what do we put that baby in once we've salvaged it? What do we do after we've deconstructed our beliefs?
Do we become spiritual dilettantes, sampling anything that catches our fancy? Or is there a better way to go about it reconstruction?
The process of jailbreaking the sacred stories we inherited is, quite honestly, like the process of jailbreaking a phone.
Instead of just switching platforms willy-nilly to something we like better (which is a surefire way to end up in the world of cultural appropriation), we take what we have, we dig down deep into the operating system, through the layers upon layers of proprietary programming, through everything about which we've been told, "well, that's just the way it is." In so doing we confront the problematic tangle of our inherited sacred stories and traditions, cutting through them to get to the juicy center of fullness, depth, and meaning that rests at the center of our engagement with matters of ultimate concern.
And we can do this by using practices to help us strain the baby out of that bathwater.
For some of us, that might look like taking the ethical teachings of Jesus and using tarot to examine our conscience. For others it might look like keeping the Sabbath with your kosher witch friends. For me, that looks like being a pastor, podcaster, LGBTQ+ liberationist, and professional astrologer. Spirituality in the 21st century is only getting weirder from here on out, and there's no better time to team up with people who have walked that path before.
Every Tuesday, listen in as I sit down to talk with leaders, thinkers, practitioners, and activists about the intersection of mainstream religion and alternative spirituality. These are people like me who have experience growing up religious that they are now working to reclaim, often through avenues of different religious traditions such as Zen Buddhism, or through particular practices like astrology, magic, ritual, meditation, or otherwise. Things are going to get deliciously weird. If you're reconstructing your own spirituality, exploring alternative ways of practice, or just want to be part of healing the world, this is the podcast for you.

The Chairman of the Belgian Telecom Operator, Belgacom, Mr. Michel Moll, has been relieved of his post following a $1million he allegedly collected from Chinese equipment maker, Huawei, according to online reports.
Belgacom, which is considered one of Europe's best- run telecoms company, is 53 per cent owned by the Belgium government.
Moll is being succeeded by Stefaan De Clerck, who has served as Chairman of Christian and Flemish Party and held a seat at the Belgian Chamber of Representatives.
Belgian media reported that Moll received a total of 954,000 euros from Huawei between 2010 and 2012.
This was done through monthly payments of 26,500 euros to his company 2MConcept for a consultancy services Moll began shortly after the end of 2009.
Belgacom signed a contract with Huawei for hundreds of millions of euros for the maintenance of the network and the upgrade to 3G at the expense of Nokia Siemens Networks, Belgacom old partner.
Reports say Huawei had responded that the payments were made in respect of consultancy services for market knowledge about Africa and not related to Europe or Belgium, and that there was no conflict of interest. Moll has been a director of Belgacom since 1994.
Only recently, the United States House of Representatives and the Belgium Security of State are said to have alleged that that Huawei engaged in espionage activities.
Besides, the former Head of the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency Intelligence, Michael Hayden had also raised alarm relating to Huawei practices. But the company has denied the allegations.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports Belgium's government estimates it will receive 394 million euros of dividend income from Belgacom in its 2014 budget, unchanged from this year, administration documents show.

Coventry has thrived throughout history and today is no different. There has been a new lease of life injected into this Midlands city in recent years, which makes it an awesome place for students. With modern additions like public squares and gardens, teamed with cosmopolitan bars and cafés, Coventry is on form to compete with some of the bigger cities around the UK.
The city hosts a relatively modest but growing student population across two universities – Coventry University and the University of Warwick – and you'll also find CU Coventry and Coventry College as well.
The students and locals get along brilliantly, and since our student accommodation in Coventry welcomes people from all over, you're bound to make an exciting mix of new friends. Coventry students can enjoy a thoroughly modern city centre, alongside excellent facilities at the universities themselves. Basically, there's loads to do, so you'll never get bored.
Eating out
Coventry has lots of tasty treats for you to try, so you'll never be stuck for options. Asian food goes down a storm in the city thanks to a multicultural population; including Chinese, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Nepalese, Persian, Bangladeshi and Thai – plus the range of Indian food in particular is some of the best of the best.
Many of the big-chain takeaways can be found in West Orchards shopping centre, which is ideal for popping into for a spot of lunch. There are also plenty of shops to enjoy with many renowned high-street brands on offer, all conveniently located just a short distance from our Coventry student accommodation.
You'll also find pubs on every corner dishing up delicious old favourites in between your lectures. In general, you'll find loads of restaurants to suit every taste, with practically every cuisine catered to. You name it, you've got it!
Things to do
When it comes to retail, you've got your high street shops in the West Orchards and Lower Precinct shopping centres. There's also a traditional indoor market, specialist shops and even a city centre IKEA store. All rooms in our Coventry student housing come fully furnished, but it's always fun to have a walk around!
Love an exciting night out? Coventry has plenty of options! You can go to a bar, club or good old-fashioned pub any night of the week.
The city of Coventry also has an exciting array of sports to check out. It has its very own basketball team, the Coventry Crusaders, and a popular ice-hockey team called Coventry Blaze. Coventry Rugby Club has an impressive new ground at the Butts Arena, and it's well worth a visit for fans.
Want to kick back and relax instead? There are two cinemas on hand to cater for all you film lovers!
Arts & culture
Coventry is a city full of culture, and has won the title of City of Culture 20/21. The Belgrade Theatre is an amazing place to watch musicals, panto and more, while Warwick Arts Centre hosts loads of different exciting performances – from music, to dance and even opera. It also doubles as an art gallery!
There are plenty of museums across Coventry so that you can build your knowledge outside of class, and Coventry Cathedral is both beautiful and majestic.
You'll be pleased to know Coventry is on many bands' touring schedules, and there are plenty of places to go and see all kinds of live music. Ricoh Arena is huge and well-equipped for all your big-name artists and DJs, and the Kasbah is an impressive venue with a large capacity, but it's still intimate enough to get up close and personal at the front.
Health & wellbeing
In the warmer weather you should make use of Coventry's outdoor spaces, like the lovely War Memorial Park, where you're sure to enjoy some fun, games and even festivals. The good news is that if you're trying to save money or keep fit, the area is also really good for cycling and walking at any time of year.
We have got the UK's newest indoor waterpark, The Wave, which has a spa, 24 metre pool dedicated with lines, Squash Courts, Fitness Suite. The universities have similarly impressive facilities to try out, with lots of sporting societies that you can join if you're keen to join a team or try something new.
Finally, there are plenty of cheap and cheerful gyms located throughout Coventry, so you can get fit whenever and however you like.
Getting around
Coventry is an accessible place with a reliable and easy-to-use bus service. You can use the buses to travel throughout the city and to and from the University of Warwick campus, which isn't too far away. There are special student rates available to help you save your money!
Of course, with Birmingham on your doorstep, you're also well connected by train. Birmingham is just 20 minutes away, and London takes just over an hour to get to. Birmingham also has the aptly named Birmingham Airport for you to make full use of, whether you're visiting family and friends or off on an adventure.

Quote from: LandotheScoundrel on August 14, 2019, 04:33 PMIs there a specific time these are going on sale tomorrow?Star Wars items are not on sale until September. No official word on time yet. This year they are making more of an effort to spread things out to try to reduce the traffic.Pulse Premium Early Access Dates for SDCC stuff - 8/15 - My Little Pony8/15 - Disney Princess8/15 - Trolls8/15 - Ugly Dolls8/20 - Overwatch8/27 - Power Rangers8/29 - Marvel9/03 - Transformers9/09 - SDCC-box Black Series 6" Sith Trooper, 6" Kenner Fett, 3.75" Jedi Destiny Luke 3-Pack(also, the Basic-box Black Series 6" Sith Trooper goes up for order on 9/04).
Is there a specific time these are going on sale tomorrow?
Any idea how quickly these sell out? Are they like the 30-45 second sell-out NECA exclusives?
Thanks. Do they usually put them up at a specific time?
Wow still available as of 6:20pm ET - I don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign. The Aphra set was easy to score as well, I ended up getting a total of five of those (for the droids) before it sold out. If I see my order from today ship, and it's still in stock at that point, I might grab a third Luke 3-pack.
That's kind of what I was wondering. With all the talk of the 3 3/4" line, 6" figures, and now 5" figures. I wonder if it says anything that both the 6" figures sold out in 2 minutes, and the Luke TVC set is still available. I had the Fett in my cart, but was gone before I could check out.

In today's industrial environments, being mindful of the water, oils and other chemicals that come into contact with your cable can give you an advantage in choosing the right product with the longest survival. A cable's jacket can swell, crack or harden after exposure to acidic and caustic chemicals and can even wick the fluids into the cable itself.
Exposure to chemicals, coolants and oils occurs in many operations in just about every market. TPC offers UL recognized chemical and solvent resistant cables in different jacket materials that all offer chemical resistance so you can choose the right product family for your specific application.
Super-Trex® products are jacketed with a specially compounded thermoset elastomer which has excellent resistance to most chemicals and solvents. Resistance was measured by calculating the change in cable diameter before and after immersing cable specimens in solution for an extended period of time at room temperature.
Trex-Onics® products are jacketed with a specially formulated polyurethane for a broad range of applications and excellent resistance to oils, solvents and chemicals.
The Chem-Gard® brand of products feature a proprietary fluoropolymer jacket and insulation delivering tough-yet-flexible cable designed to withstand corrosive chemicals, abrasion, high temperatures and even extreme cold. Chem-Gard offers an extensive line of shielded and unshielded cables with both single and multi-conductor configurations.

2019 Nissan Frontier in El Paso, TX
You could certainly say Nissan is following the "if it aint broke, don't fix it" philosophy with the Frontier, its long-running compact truck. Despite the lack of a major overhaul in quite some time, Nissan continues to refine and optimize this reliable vehicle year-after-year, and the 2019 iteration is truly a sight to behold.
In addition to everything that made this model great in the past, the 2019 Nissan Frontier now comes with a standard 7-inch touchscreen. What are some other reasons to get your hands on this delightful workhorse?
Great Value
Affordability is always something we like to hear when shopping for a new ride. And the 2019 Nissan Frontier earns this title and then some. Starting at just $18,990, the 2019 Frontier boasts the lowest MSRP for a new pick-up in the U.S. We happily acknowledge it to be America's most affordable pick-up.
Flexible Capability
The 2019 Nissan Frontier has a variety of tricks up its sleeve (or under its hood) to help you get the job done. It's 4x4 capable, which means it can tackle rough terrain and transport with strength when it needs to. Additionally, it offers five bed-mounted cargo rails (the most in the class) and four movable cleats, which adds up to a flexible and efficient cargo system in its full-length, fully boxed ladder frame.
The smooth transmission makes changing gears a pleasurable breeze, while 10.1 inches of maximum ground clearance comes in handy for traversing uneven landscapes. And the 2019 Nissan Frontier can tug- it boasts the best maximum standard towing capacity in its class, with the ability to pull up to 3,760 pounds coming right on the base model. To get this much on other trucks, you'll have to upgrade trims or engine options. Nissan gives it to you right out of the gate.
Pleasant Interior
The interior of the 2019 Nissan Frontier boasts delightful standard amenities such as a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera. An advanced air bag system helps to keep both you and your passengers safe.
Experience the 2019 Nissan Frontier in El Paso, TX
Taking all this into account, it's easy to see why the Nissan Frontier has been the highest ranked pickup in initial quality from JD Power now for three years in a row. If you'd like to experience it yourself here in El Paso, or if you have any questions, simply click the button below and fill out the form to contact us here at Charlie Clark Nissan! We look forward to serving you.

7-249: Logan Woodside, QB (Toledo)
7-252: Rod Taylor, G (Ole Miss)

Draft Grade: Mostly Hits
The Bengals, starting last year and through this draft should have the pieces in place to put together a solid offensive line with the extra bonus of an excellent blocking tight end. That is a long time coming.
They had two other major questions: can they fix their defense without overhauling their roster, and who will be the QB moving forward? Pratt and Wren are both under-rated prospects and both could see a lot of time this year. They both jump out on tape.
Finley is probably the most pro-ready QB in this draft, and the Bengals showed a lot of interest in him. This could be a real QB competition this fall. The Bengals won't get hurt financially if they make a change there.
They also got two high ceiling RBs late in the draft. Williams and Anderson both fell in the draft, and they got them both at a great value.

Mumbai: Fans were left spellbound by her onscreen chemistry with 'Baahubali' Prabhas in SS Rajamouli's magnum opus and wanted Anushka Shetty to get married to him in real life too! But the pretty lady is apparently upset with the fact that she has been romantically linked to him in real life!
If the latest report is anything to go by, Anushka has fired a team member for spreading such rumour. According to a report in DNA, the actress 'didn't take kindly to this and decided to go to the source of such speculations'.
Interestingly, this was not the first time Anushka had romanced Prabhas on the silverscreen. The duo has worked together in the past as well but their chemistry as Devasena and Amarendra Baahubali was truly magical.
Probably this is the reason even fans wanted to see them as man and wife in real life too!
Nonetheless, speculations are rife that Prabhas' family is keen to find a suitable bride for him and that he may get married to the granddaughter of an industrialist soon.

If your financial situation has changed since buying your home and you are no longer able to make payments, you may want to consider a loan modification. A successful loan modification will result in changes to your interest rate and the duration of your loan, making the payments more affordable. Not all loan modifications, however, are created equal. Here are a few tips to make sure you receive favorable terms when you modify your loan.
- Do not wait. Loan modifications used to be reserved for homeowners who have already defaulted on their loan. Now, homeowners are able to receive loans before they fall too behind on payments. Some are even able to negotiate new terms before they start missing payments.
- Research your lender. Some homeowners are not even aware of who owns their loan. Whether or not a single bank controls your loan or if your loan has been divided up will affect your ability to modify your loan. Ask your mortgage servicer directly who owns the loan.
- Provide honest and detailed information. The lender will ask specific questions about your financial situation when determining whether or not you qualify for a modified loan. Lying about your finances because you are embarrassed can hurt you chances of receiving a loan modification.
- Gather the paperwork you will need. Your lender will need your most recent income tax return, information about your savings, your account balances of your credit cards, details of your other monthly payments, income information for your household, and a letter breaking down why you need your loan modified.
- Document everything. Keep records of every phone call and every letter you receive from your lender.
- Remain patient and calm. It can take time to receive a loan modification. Many modifications take months to complete. Getting frustrated or angry with your lender will not help, but staying calm and collected could inspire your lender to be more flexible.
Last but not the least, seek professional help. An experienced Orange County real estate lawyer can help you fight to keep your home.

Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Characteristic Features for Vision-Based Detection of Contact State Transitions (2003)
This paper deals with the handling of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires, or leaf springs. It investigates usable features for the vision-based detection of a changing contact situation between a DLO and a rigid polyhedral obstacle and a classification of such contact state transitions. The result is a complete classification of contact state transitions and of the most significant features for each class. This knowledge enables reliable detection of changes in the DLO contact situation, facilitating implementation of sensor-based manipulation skills for all possible contact changes.
Handhabung deformierbarer linearer Objekte: Programmierung mit verschiedenen Manipulation-Skills (2002)
Diese Arbeit beschreibt verschiedene Bewegungsprimitive zur Lösung einiger häufig auftre-tender Probleme bei der Handhabung von deformierbaren linearen Objekten. Anhand der beispielhaften Montage einer Feder wird die Nützlichkeit der verschiedenen Manipulation-Skills im einzelnen, aber auch deren Kombination dargestellt.
Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Characteristics in Force Signals for Detecting Contact State Transitions (2001)
This paper deals with the handling of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires or leaf springs. It investigates the a priori knowledge about the 6-dimensional force/torque signal for a changing contact situation between a DLO and a rigid polyhedral obstacle. The result is a complete list, containing for each contact change the most significant combination of force/torque signal components together with a description of the expected signal curve. This knowledge enables the reliable detection of changes in the DLO contact situation and with it the implementation of sensor-based manipulation skills for all possible contact changes.
Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Manipulation Skill for Active Damping of Oscillations (2002)
While handling deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires or leaf springs, with an industrial robot at high speed, unintended and undesired oscillations that delay further operations may occur. This paper analyzes oscillations based on a simple model with one degree of freedom (DOF) and presents a method for active open-loop damping. Different ways to interpret an oscillating DLO as a system with 1 DOF lead to translational and rotational adjustment motions. Both were implemented as a manipulation skill with a sepa-rate program that can be executed immediately after any robot motion. We showed how these manipulation skills can generate the needed adjustment motions automatically based on the readings of a wrist-mounted force/torque sensor. Experiments demonstrated the effectiveness under various conditions.
The task of handling non-rigid one-dimensional objects by a robot manipulation system is investigated. Especially, approaches to calculate motions with specific behavior in point contacts between the object and environment are regarded. For single point contacts, motions based on generalized rotations solving the direct and inverse manipulation problem are investigated. The latter problem is additionally tackled by simple rotation and translation motions. For double and multiple point contacts, motions based on Splines are suggested. In experimental results with steel springs, the predicted and measured effect for each approach are compared.
It is difficult for robots to handle a vibrating deformable object. Even for human beings it is a high-risk operation to, for example, insert a vibrating linear object into a small hole. However, fast manipulation using a robot arm is not just a dream; it may be achieved if some important features of the vibration are detected online. In this paper, we present an approach for fast manipulation using a force/torque sensor mounted on the robot's wrist. Template matching method is employed to recognize the vibrational phase of the deformable objects. Therefore, a fast manipulation can be performed with a high success rate, even if there is acute vibration. Experiments inserting a deformable object into a hole are conducted to test the presented method. Results demonstrate that the presented sensor-based online fast manipulation is feasible.
Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Force/torque Sensor-Based Adjustment-Motions For Vibration Elimination (2001)
The vibration induced in a deformable object upon automatic handling by robot manipulators can often be bothersome. This paper presents a force/torque sensor-based method for handling deformable linear objects (DLOs) in a manner suitable to eliminate acute vibration. An adjustment-motion that can be attached to the end of an arbitrary end-effector's trajectory is employed to eliminate vibration of deformable objects. Differently from model-based methods, the presented sensor-based method does not employ any information from previous motions. The adjustment-motion is generated automatically by analyzing data from a force/torque sensor mounted on the robot wrist. Template matching technique is used to find out the matching point between the vibrational signal of the DLO and a template. Experiments are conducted to test the new method under various conditions. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensor-based adjustment-motion.
Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Attachable Adjustment-Motions for Vibration Reduction (2001)
This paper addresses the problem of handling deformable linear objects (DLOs) in a suitable way to avoid acute vibration. Different types of adjustment-motions that eliminate vibration of deformable objects and can be attached to the end of an arbitrary end-effector trajectory are presented. For describing the dynamics of deformable linear objects, the finite element method is used to derive the dynamic differential equations. Genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal adjustment motion for each simulation example. Experiments are conducted to verify the presented manipulating method.
Manipulating Deformable Linear Objects: Model-Based Adjustment-Motion for Vibration Reduction (2001)
This paper addresses the problem of handling deformable linear objects (DLOs) in a suitable way to avoid acute vibration. An adjustment-motion that eliminates vibration of DLOs and can be attached to the end of any arbitrary end-effector's trajectory is presented, based on the concept of open-loop control. The presented adjustment-motion is a kind of agile end-effector motion with limited scope. To describe the dynamics of deformable linear objects, the finite element method is used to derive the dynamic differential equations. Genetic algorithm is used to find the optimal adjustment-motion for each simulation example. In contrast to previous approaches, the presented method can be treated as one of the manipulation skills and can be applied to different cases without major changes to the method.

What is the best Faction in For Honor – The Samurai Faction
Is the Samurai faction the best faction in For Honor? We'll be taking a look at that in this post.
To defeat all other factions, you need to know which factions suits you the best, this way you know how to approach your enemy and easily defeat them. To know all of this we have to find out what the Samurai faction stands for, what they're good at and what makes them unique.
''Originally from a land far away across the seas, they tell a tale of an Emperor and a homeland lost to sea and fire, Nearly a millennium later, the nomadic nation has ceased its wandering and built a new empire near the reclaimed homelands of the Vikings and the contested lands of the Knights. Having spent the last decades acclimating to the marshy hills known as the Myre, they flourish but remain vastly outnumbered by their neighbors. They have to rely on greater martial skill, cunning and devotion to their culture to survive – for they may be the last of their kind".
The story explains that the Samurai isn't a faction that will win by having a larger group. Instead, the Samurai warriors are decreasing and have to rely on ''greater martial skill, cunning and devotion to their culture'' to win from the Vikings and Knights, who have a larger amount of soldiers. The story also shows us that the Samurai stands for '' Immortality, spirituality, control and serenity which is confirmed by the emblem significances even further.
If you are an assassin type of player who can't choose between playing offensive and defensive, this Faction is for you. The Samurai Faction is a faction where you assassinate the enemies by being sneaky and outplaying them with your martial skill advantage.
The Samurai Faction faction features the next four Heroes:
The Orochi:
''The Orochi are the Imperial assassins of the Samurai. They roam the battlefield like ghosts, terrorizing and slaughtering those unfortunate enough to cross their path. They offer a good mix of harassment and counter-attacks abilities but require skills and timing to have an effective defense.''
Check out our Orochi guide here.
The Kensei:
''Kensei are the living incarnations of Bushido, the Samurai way of the warrior, or as close as once can get. They are slower than other units but have longer melee range.''
Check out our Kensei guide here.
The Shugoki:

The Nobushi:
''The Nobushi is a Zone character. She tries to keep her distance while constantly annoying any attackers.''

The New York Times got the ball rolling on the "Russian election hack" with an article entitled, "Russian Hackers Acted to Aid Trump in Election, U.S. Says".
The NYT bases their entire story on the premise that…
–"the Russians hacked the Republican National Committee's computer systems in addition to their attacks on Democratic organizations, but did not release whatever information they gleaned from the Republican networks."
Reince Priebus is very clear on this issue, "the RNC was absolutely not hacked."
How would Priebus know? Well he was the RNC Chair at the time of the report, so he is a first person witness to the factual events as they unfolded.
The NYT claims Russian hackers manipulated US election results in order to give the win to Donald Trump. Preibus tears this notion apart, after he defends the choice of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

From Brexit to Visions of a UN Exit?
Britain's vote last week to leave the European Union -- the Brexit -- was a vote for freedom, a revolt against an unaccountable bureaucracy in Brussels. Amid the excitement, Fox News briefly reported the story as even bigger than it was, with a TV screen banner proclaiming not that the UK was leaving the EU, but "UK VOTES TO LEAVE UN."
Yes, some things are too good to be true, and this was one.
As parody, it would have been genius. As a piece of news reporting, the Fox mixup of the EU and UN inspired plenty of derision -- a bit of comic relief, gleefully seized upon by the stricken members of a pro-EU global elite and commentariat. They cannot fathom why a majority of British voters would choose to reclaim from the commissars of the EU the full freedom to control Britain's own borders, bananas and vacuum cleaners. In that context, Fox's botching of a news banner helps feed the narrative that the Brexit vote was some boorish mistake cooked up by a know-nothing mob.
Except that's false, in ways far more profound than the mistake in the Fox chyron. For an eloquent defense of Brexit, see Roger Kimball's "Focused on Disaster Narrative, Media Ignores Obvious Benefits of Brexit." To this I'd add that even in Fox's erroneous UN-exit caption there was, along with the comedy, some grist for serious thought.
I'm not defending Fox's proofreaders. Accuracy matters, even on TV. But it's not completely daft that a copywriter in a hurry would read "EU" and write "UN." There are some pernicious similarities between the two. Both belong to the clan of multilateral institutions set up with the mission of promoting peace and prosperity, post-World War II. Both have proved better at promoting themselves and their own backroom deals. They are clubs of governments, breeding big, intrusive and unelected bureaucracies; largely self-serving, unaccountable and in various ways damaging to and divorced from the real interests of the populations they claim to serve. As Ambassador John Bolton writes in a piece on "How America Should Answer the Brexit Vote," peace in Europe since 1945 is a product not of the EU, but of the U.S.-led military alliance of NATO.
Both the EU and the UN have a distinct tilt toward central planning, with all the warped incentives, waste and disregard for free choice that this entails. In the EU, this takes the form of regulation. At the UN, it is packaged as an endless array of UN-orchestrated development goals, capacity-building programs and bureaucratically directed spending of other people's money, much of it funneled through despotic governments whose oppressive misrule is the main reason for the poverty and perils the UN proposes to alleviate.

by Gus Blackwell, Rep.-61
Speaker Pro-Tempore
Last week I received several phone calls from distraught landowners about a proposal from Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) to redo the curves on State Highway 136. The plan smoothed out the two curves right before the Texas state line. The problem was the plan put a highway between an existing house and its barn and riding arena. It also would destroy half of two irrigated quarters of farmland.
Thank you to the 200 plus people who signed a petition at the Texas County Fair to ask ODOT to reconsider its current plan to change State Highway 136. I spoke to Division VI Director, Robert Ward on Monday and he agreed to look at other options on this road. On Thursday, I spoke with ODOT Director, Gary Ridley, and he also agreed to scrap the present plan and look at other options.
I appreciate the openness of ODOT to look at several options, before making a final decision. Director Ridley said there would be town meetings to discuss the options, before any final decision would be made.
I also discussed with Director Ridley, Congresswoman Fallin, and Congressman Boren the problem of weight limits for farm vehicles, as they move from state to state. They held a conference on this problem, at the State Capitol on Thursday, to discuss their bipartisan solution.
Presently, when a vehicle moves across a state line, the weight limit does not change to the new state's weight limit, but reverts back to a federal standard of 10,000 pounds. Any vehicle over this amount must comply with a myriad of commercial vehicle regulations, including having a Class D Commercial Driving License.
A person in high school could drive a pickup pulling a stock trailer less than 50 miles to a stock show in another state and suddenly become subject to these restrictions. I encouraged the congressional delegation to continue to change the law in this area. .
There are several road projects still under construction in this district. This includes bridge construction on Highway 95 north of Texhoma and two bridges in Harper County on Highway 64 east of Buffalo. A mill and overlay of Highway 412 by Four Corners west toward Boise City will occur late in the fall. Highway 54 through Guymon will also have a 5 inch overlay and this project is underway now. The much needed overlay of Highway 412 into Guymon from Hardesty is due to start next year.
Please, slow down and be careful in the construction areas and keep all these projects safe and accident free. I appreciate the work the ODOT workers are doing in these areas and hope that everyone stays safe.
I am at the Capitol during part of the week for meetings and interim studies. You can reach me there at 405-557-7384 or contact me at my home in Goodwell or by email at email@example.com .
