Obviously not happy with the blindcurrent arrangement I decided to tackle the LED problem differently. Inspired by Supertex, who makes really neat LED string converters that operate from line voltage, I decided to make one myself. Only design criterion: I wanted a string of not just 12 like Supertex's HV9921 but 37 LEDs, which would nicely fill out my lamp holder. Also this string would be much easier to build as I needed to solder only once for each LED, and not make a ridiculous affair with the serial/parallel matrix in Leeslamp Mark 1. But how to drive these LEDs? Making a string would require about 140 V, so that would not be an issue when running off 230 VAC. First I drew some really weird and exotic schematics which I am now so embarrassed about that I won't show them here. They were just way too complicated, comprising of video transistors, optocouplers and what all.
No, the way to go turned out to be the good old blocking oscillator. The transformer was quickly found in a dud laptop backlight converter. The secondary coil measured 300 mH, the primary total I have no idea as my LCR tester wouldn't give a good reading. The switching FET that I found in my junk box happened to be a Toshiba 2SK3067, an insulated 600 V device intended for off-line power supplies. The concept of driving the LEDs was first tested using Linear Technology's SwitcherCAD iii, a free development and simulation tool that I find very useful. I concocted up some new devices and started to simulate the circuit.
A very important design requirement is that the brittle LEDs stay happy. So whatever happens the current through the string and the reverse voltage across each LED must never exceed the maximum values. Even a slight excursion across the limit will result in immediate destruction. So first the current. When the FET switches off, the current through its drain coil wants to keep on going because of the stored magnetic energy in the ferrite core. The drain voltage rises until the diode string starts to conduct. At this point the current is transferred into the LEDs, and is exactly the same as the drain current at switchoff. This current is set with the source resistor and the gate zener diode. You see, when the supply voltage is applied the gate is biased through the transformer and will switch on the transistor. When the gate voltage is 6 V the source voltage is the gate threshhold voltage lower, in this case around 3 V. This sets the source (and drain) current to 3/180 is 0.0017 A or 17 mA. This is also the peak LED current.
During conduction the LEDs are reverse biased. This is not a desirable situation, so they need to be isolated from the 300 V or so that exists across the drain coil. This is achieved using one of those snubber diodes (from what power supply I had liberated the thing I have no idea anymore!). Also a small capacitor is added across the LED string which serves to balance out the much smaller diode capactitance. This arrangement perfectly effective. It turned out that touching this junction with my scope probe (10 meg, 15 pF) immediately destroyed my test LED that I had in series with some power zeners to simulate the string. This also proved the need for this measure. Phew! So now both criteria seem satisfied.
When the Tosh FET starts to switch off the gate is driven negative through the feedback winding, speeding up the process. The coil is now delivering its energy into the LEDs. This energy depletes after some time. This can be beautifully seen both in the simulation and in the real world. Now the gate gets biased positive again due to the collapsing drain voltage and the transistor switches on again, starting the process anew. All this in just 60 µs. Simple but effective! The LED current is also beautifully linear. The little spike is caused by the FET switching on again. And the 1.2k resistor? I just had it lying around, and wanted to have some extra protection as the bridge is rated for only 400 V. The circuit only draws a few milliamps from the mains power so it does next to nothing.
After I built my leeslamp I did some more tinkering around. I made another haystack kludge, this time using a IRFBC20. The reverse diode was a BYV26E that I liberated from the same junker digibox I had the IRF from. The transformer had been taken apart as I had removed the primary windings. I restored this using some 0.2 mm CuL wire. No idea how much wire I put in there, it seemed about right this way. As the threshhold voltage was a bit higher I reduced the source resistor to 100 ohms. Increasing the zener voltage turned out not to be such a good idea as the circuit started to become unstable, and the FET was not turned off properly. The resulting peak current now was 20 mA. The test setup squealed like crazy at 11 kHz, in the process proving that my hearing hadn't detoriorated that much from listening to loud house music. It turned out that the "OFF" voltage was only 100 V, and it just took too long for the current through the LED (and zeners) to bleed away. Also taking the two "E" cores apart to restore the primary (feedback) winding didn't help much. Upping the voltage to the intended 140 V sort of solved that. If need be I could also remove some drain windings. And I also found another failure mode: touching my probe to the source immediately destroyed my LED due to the resulting current spike, tiny as it was. Once I left it alone the replacement was happy once more!

Capital acts as a cushion against losses and affords protection for account holders when a bank is struggling financially. It follows then that when it comes to measuring an an institution's financial strength, capital is crucial. When it comes to safety and soundness, the more capital, the better.
RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association fell short of the national average of 13.13 on our test to measure capital adequacy, scoring 4 out of a possible 30 points.
A bank's Tier 1 capital ratio is a widely followed measure of this buffer. RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association's Tier 1 capital ratio was 24.16 percent, exceeding the 6 percent level considered adequate by regulators, but less than the national average of 25.65 percent. A higher capital ratio means the bank will be better able to stand up to financial headwinds.
Overall, RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association held equity amounting to 6.72 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
This test's purpose is to estimate how the bank's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization, could be affected by troubled assets, such as unpaid mortgages.
A bank with a large number of these kinds of assets may eventually be required to use capital to absorb losses, cutting down on its equity cushion. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning money, resulting in diminished earnings and potentially more risk of a future failure.
RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's asset quality test, beating the national average of 37.49.
The percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets is a handy indicator of asset quality.As of December 31, 2017, 0.67 percent of RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks keep a reserve to deal with problem assets known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses." That reserve's size can be a handy indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets, especially when compared to the total amount of problem loans. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
How profitable a bank is has an effect on its safety and soundness. A bank can retain its earnings, giving a boost to its capital cushion, or put them to work addressing problematic loans, likely making the bank more resilient in tough times. However, banks that are losing money have less ability to do those things.
RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association scored 20 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, beating out the national average of 15.12.
Return on equity, calculated by dividing net income (essentially, profit) by the total amount of equity, is one key measure of a bank's earnings. RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association's most recent annualized quarterly return on equity was 12.26 percent, above the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank recorded net income of $35.3 million on total equity of $303.1 million. The bank had an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.85 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

He and close pal Kate Major, a former tabloid reporter, were slated to speak with E! News' Ryan Seacrest following his estranged wife's appearance on NBC's Today show.
In Aries sign Ketu will be in Virgo ascendant. Your birth will be auspicious for your maternal uncle's family. You may earn money from foreign land. You may be a rich man and may be able to get victory over your enemies. You are very energetic and enthusiastic and you may imbibe with the feelings of service. You can destroy your enemies.
Ketu will be in Scorpio sign. You may be rich and happy but may get some harm from your brother and son. Your brother may also suffer some problems from his son. You may get a very beautiful, cultured and loyal wife with modern views. Due to some unwanted problems you may go for another marriage. You may have to work hard for earning money.
Child Custody – Probably one of the most important divorce rights to keep in mind is child custody. This is a right that you have. There can be joint custody or sole custody. However, even if your spouse was to get sole custody, unless you have a criminal record or you are dangerous, you still have the right to see your kids, where the time period you are allowed to spend time with them is determined by the divorce judge lawyer as part of the divorce proceedings.
Jupiter is fruitful in Aries sign in ninth place due to its Trikonadhipati. It is not inauspicious here being vyayesh. The Jupiter will be in Leo sign in fifth place. You all family members will be happy and rich. If a child is born in your home on Thursday, luck will shine immediate after his birth. You may be most brilliant and mind majestic, dear and great speaker. You may be lucky to have a rich and wee to do father. Your luck will shine after the birth of your son.
The moon is Fruitful due to its central position. It is friendly with lagnesh Mars. Moon will be in Capricorn sign in tenth place. The owner of Capricorn sign is not fruitful to natives of Aries sign people. You have caliber to cross the ferry of anyone if one is stuck in problems. You are hardworking, active, brave, rich and over ambitious. You can build your own house, buy your own vehicle and you may achieve success in your entire venture.
There is the issue of public safety. How many police officers will be hired and how will it be financed? Where is the money? What happened to the critically acclaimed CAPS (Chicago Alternative Community Policing Strategy)? Which candidate would resurrect the program and how would it be resurrected?

Date: 2008/06/19
Time: 16:02– 16:13
Meeting No.:
(16:02:46) LiHeng: Hi, my network is not good enough:)
(16:03:02) LiHeng: where is Xiuzhi?
(16:04:54) yugq: He is not in his seat.
(16:05:36) LiHeng: Okay,maybe he have another meeting with Boss;)
(16:06:16) LiHeng: mhu:did you receive the email about topic today
(16:06:44) LiHeng: mhu:I says sorry for it was late.
(16:06:54) mhu: LiHeng: yes, I have read your agenda, as well as yugq's email to the mailing list.
(16:07:15) mhu: Oh, don't worry being late; usually, it is me who is late.
(16:07:49) LiHeng: I'm not in office recently, and our mailbox has lots of trouble since it was change to "redoffice.com.cn":(
(16:08:30) yugq: I will be better later.;-)
(16:08:33) mhu: okay, don't worry; as long as it works somehow, we can work.
(16:09:29) LiHeng: thank you, today we have only one major topic about "locking" that was mentioned by Michael
(16:09:40) LiHeng: yugq:please:)
(16:09:48) yugq: OK.
(16:10:05) mhu: yes, and I think you are right: we cannot improve with (fine) tuning hot spots only.
(16:10:56) yugq: From MMeeks' mail, he metioned the "Locking" problem, "locking" is a hotspot. And from the profile data from callgrind, configmgr contributes a lot to "locking" also.
(16:10:56) mhu: that is why we have started this project, to do some deeper analysis and fix things better than just "tuning"
(16:11:31) mhu: yugq: yes, Michael is right here, it is indeed a well known hotspot.
(16:11:35) LiHeng: mhu:yes :), we must make a large scale refactor in following versions to improve performance step by step
(16:12:10) yugq: Configmgr's locking problem mainly comes from binary read and string operations.
(16:13:21) mhu: Michaels approach is the well known (open source) "bazaar" principle of "many small incremental changes" in the end give a good product. And while that is surely true, it is not always the best approach to solve problems.
(16:13:27) yugq: And another big contribution to "lock" comes from UNO concerned operation.
(16:13:54) mhu: yugq: yes, as far as I remember, your analysis is correct.

(16:00:29) LiHeng: Hi, everyone
(16:00:43) mhu: Hi all
(16:00:55) LiHeng: Hi,matthias
(16:01:12) mhu: Hi LiHeng
(16:01:20) liangjun: mhu: hi
(16:01:41) mhu: Hi liangjun
(16:01:48) LiHeng: mhu:Did you receive the weekly report?
(16:02:00) xiuzhi: hi all
(16:02:06) mhu: LiHeng: yes, I have received and read it, thanks.
(16:02:18) mhu: Hi xiuzhi
(16:02:27) xiuzhi: mhu:hi ,moin
(16:02:33) mhu: moin :-)
(16:03:28) mhu: xiuzhi: you have many irc meetings with martin hollmichel ? (moin)
(16:03:59) xiuzhi: mhu: sure
(16:04:19) xiuzhi: mhu: I hope to meet you next month
(16:04:20) mhu: that's what I thought.
(16:04:42) mhu: xiuzhi: Ah yes, you are coming to Hamburg, right?
(16:05:08) xiuzhi: mhu: I hope so, but I am not sure the visa, time is very urgent
(16:05:23) mhu: xiuzhi: ah, I see.
(16:05:38) LiHeng: mhu:At first, we continue to discuss about shared configure and administrator's operations.
(16:05:53) mhu: LiHeng: okay, please go ahead.
(16:07:32) LiHeng: we confirm that there are still some finialize item in configures but they are removed into Basic3.0 directary in OO3.0 :)
(16:08:52) LiHeng: Then, now, we have to talk about , which operations admin work on they
(16:09:32) mhu: Hmm, do you mean "removed" (i.e. "away"), or do you mean "moved to Basic directory" (i.e. they are somewhere else, but still there) ?
(16:10:08) LiHeng: mhu:yes! sorry for type
(16:10:11) LiHeng: :(
(16:10:41) mhu: okay, no problem; but which one do you mean? "moved to ..." ?
(16:11:36) LiHeng: they are moved into Basic directory now
(16:12:04) LiHeng: so they are still existing
(16:12:05) LiHeng: :)
(16:12:28) mhu: ah, okay. But then effectively nothing has changed, except the location (but not the meaning), right ?
(16:13:21) LiHeng: a little items were changed. but it is not important for us
(16:14:03) mhu: So, from what I understand, this installation change is done to better separate "URE", "Basic", and "Brand".
(16:14:39) xiuzhi: sure,
(16:15:17) LiHeng: mhu:Yes, and that we have to talk about which operations admin work on them, one important thing is when user modify a configuration setting .....
(16:15:56) mhu: So, we still want to find a possibility to store the merged configuration data as a single item in the users directory, and at the same time allow an administrator to "fix" some settings, so that a user cannot change them, right ?
(16:16:17) mhu: sorry, I just read that you wrote the same as I :-)
(16:17:50) LiHeng: for item user cann't change we reach a consensus, but are there some items can be changed by both user and admin?
(16:17:53) mhu: can we think of a (generic) way to allow an administrator to "fix" any setting she likes, or do we need to define a few settings ?
(16:19:21) mhu: changed by both user and admin? I think that would be the initial (template) data? But not at runtime, where user changes always win ?
(16:20:12) LiHeng: if an administrator to "fix" any setting, we must confirm how to deal the setting that would be changed by a user?
(16:20:44) LiHeng: Oh,yes , I see all of yours, ...
(16:21:15) mhu: if the item is finalized by admin, I think user cannot change it ( or when he changes it, it will be reverted back to the admin setting)
(16:21:45) LiHeng: That admin can change any setting for new user , and a user will get the initial setting when he setup,...
(16:22:04) mhu: yes, that was I idea, I think.
(16:22:27) LiHeng: then user can change settings but some setting don't be allowed?
(16:22:35) mhu: yes
(16:23:29) LiHeng: okay, we complete all requirements for shared copy of configuration :)
(16:24:34) mhu: maybe, the set of "finalized" configuration (dom) nodes can be read from the "share" directory / layer. If there is no such file (nodes), then startup maybe faster (no need to merge).
(16:24:53) mhu: just a spontaneous idea...
(16:25:13) LiHeng: that you for your patience
(16:26:18) mhu: oh, design / architecture via irc is something new for me; so thank you for your patience :-)
(16:26:36) LiHeng: mhu: yes , will design some mapping for get static setting
(16:26:50) mhu: okay
(16:27:56) LiHeng: after, this job we will design/ architecture via email ,but now we must try to walk on same way!
(16:28:22) mhu: and, when we have a more concrete idea, and maybe proof of concept implementation, we should probably also discuss this in public, so that others can raise their voice just in case we forgot something important.
(16:29:20) mhu: LiHeng: can you repeat please, I am not sure I understand ?
(16:29:26) LiHeng: yes, we will public the requirements to mailing list
(16:30:08) LiHeng: configmgr refactor is the first job working with you, ...
(16:30:26) mhu: yes...
(16:31:06) xiuzhi: publicing the discussing result is a good idea.
(16:31:32) LiHeng: so we worry about we can't in same method of working
(16:32:09) mhu: LiHeng: "walk on same way" ? "method of working" ? can you explain? do you see a problem?
(16:33:53) LiHeng: no problem now :)
(16:33:56) mhu: I think, you can simply go ahead how you want to work, and I will try to help as much as I can; is that okay for you?
(16:34:08) mhu: LiHeng: okay :-)
(16:34:49) LiHeng: i mean we adapted style of work with OO
(16:34:55) LiHeng: ;)\
(16:35:18) mhu: okay
(16:37:56) xiuzhi: something wrong with LeeH's network, I think
(16:38:39) mhu: yes, this happened previously also; shall we wait a few minutes?
(16:39:39) xiuzhi: I will call him.
(16:40:06) mhu: xiuzhi: by the way, you sometimes write "Lee" instead of "Li"; are these two forms equivalent?
(16:40:27) xiuzhi: ok now
(16:40:43) LiHeng: mhu:sorry, i am just down
(16:40:43) mhu: welcome back...
(16:40:44) xiuzhi: mhu: yes.
(16:40:55) mhu: xiuzhi: okay, thanks.
(16:41:33) LiHeng: xiuzhi:please save the log, my irc has just crashed!
(16:41:43) xiuzhi: LiHeng:ok
(16:42:13) LiHeng: mhu:we want to get your opinions about " it is well known the hotspot is dynamic in different versions, and lots of persons and teams work on it. But all kinds of performance problems has existed in OO. So there is little effectivity on performance improvement by individual teams. "
(16:42:13) mhu: hopefully, I also have a copy of the log, if it helps.
(16:43:31) mhu: LiHeng: yes, I read that in some of your emails; I think this is generally a valid observation; do you want more detailed comments?
(16:45:37) LiHeng: i am making a plan to change the state, but it need a lot of work and supporting of OO
(16:46:42) mhu: yes, it does indeed need a lot of work; that is why some (technically possible) performance improvements have not been done in the past.
(16:47:31) LiHeng: if we want to impove performance of OO completely, we must change some method of developement or make some addition process into
(16:47:33) mhu: I think, you will have the (moral) support of almost all users; specific support from developers is sometimes more difficult to get
(16:48:22) mhu: do you already have some ideas about changing the development (process)?
(16:49:04) LiHeng: a little , but it's not whole plan,
(16:49:07) LiHeng: ;)
(16:49:19) mhu: [one of my ideas would be more design reviews before someone implements something that makes OOo slower]
(16:49:43) mhu: yes, I also do not (yet) have a whole plan.
(16:50:40) mhu: [but those design reviews would be a very centralized approach, and might not scale with many simultaneous CWS that are underway]
(16:50:51) LiHeng: yes, most important is review, but it would not not be in point , must check whole
(16:51:43) mhu: yes, that is also what I mean: a review against the whole design (each piece must fit into the puzzle somewhere)
(16:52:07) LiHeng: we need some mechanism to check and compare values of testing automic
(16:52:31) mhu: yes, I think we already agreed on that
(16:52:37) LiHeng: and publish to all of develop teams
(16:53:15) mhu: yes, if everyone can see the results (and knows that others can see that too) it might help raising awareness.
(16:54:08) LiHeng: and separate tuning and refactor make the plan for following several version
(16:55:00) mhu: LiHeng: are there some words missing in above sentence?
(16:55:44) LiHeng: Yes :)
(16:56:05) mhu: okay, can you rephrase it, please?
(16:57:01) LiHeng: For tracing improvement of performance , we must determine the targets of every version and separate tuning and refactor make the plan for following several version
(16:57:02) LiHeng: :)
(16:57:03) mhu: you think of a more long term plan, including time for refactoring and tuning (like we now have for localization)?
(16:58:17) mhu: okay, and also a target (of improvement; say, 10% faster startup ?) for each version seems to be good.
(16:58:17) LiHeng: mhu:today, it's time out, i send a part of plan by email , in next weekly report
(16:59:00) mhu: okay, I think we are not so far away in what we think is the right thing to do. I wait for your email, thanks.
(16:59:25) LiHeng: 10%, 20% on the premise that it must be measurable :)
(16:59:44) mhu: yes, of course measurable :-)
(17:00:05) LiHeng: okay, that's all:)
(17:00:10) LiHeng: good luck
(17:00:15) mhu: that was only an example of a "target"; it can also be 100% if you like that number better :-)
(17:00:34) mhu: okay, then see you next Thursday?
(17:00:56) LiHeng: yes, next Thursday
(17:01:04) liangjun: bye :)
(17:01:11) mhu: okay, then bye all.
(17:01:21) LiHeng: bye
(17:02:02) xiuzhi: see you next Thursday

Meeting Minutes
IRC Meeting of Sun Microsystems (StarOffice) with RedFlag2000
Performance Project
Date: 2008/06/05
Time: 16:09– 17:20
Meeting No.:
(16:09:58) LiHeng: Hi, mhu
(16:10:19) mhu: Hi all, sorry for being late (again) :-(
(16:10:25) liangjun: mhu: hello
(16:11:05) kuangliang: hello mhu
(16:12:02) LiHeng: Don't mind. mhu, I'm late too, just earlier a little than you
(16:12:43) LiHeng: I'm not in company , so there are some trouble with WIFI here:)
(16:13:05) mhu: okay.
(16:13:41) LiHeng: mhu:Did you receive the email that have tipocs for today?
(16:14:34) mhu: yes, I have read the agenda, and also the "Configmgr Refactor" document.
(16:16:10) LiHeng: Do you think about those requirements are enough to new configmgr?
(16:17:49) mhu: generally yes, but I think I have a few comments and questions...
(16:19:19) mhu: (a) I am not sure that the merged tree needs to be a "binary cache" (it could possibly also be a single large xml file that is fast to load and parse).
(16:20:44) mhu: (b) I am not sure that I really mean "readonly" and "security" only; probably it is called different but there is a concept of "finalized" and a concept of "shared" meaning that a user cannot change it.
(16:23:27) mhu: (c) the small amount of "readonly" / "shared" items needs of course be merged at every startup (at least), and is probably still xml (xcu); that's why I think merging means merging the dom nodes, and the merged result can again be (saved as) a single large xml file.
(16:24:16) mhu: That's it for the moment; generally a good idea, maybe I did not yet understand everything of your details.
(16:26:13) LiHeng: About the (a), we had design a format of merged data, no problem, we also want to make it to formed a xml, but now OO is binary cache,
(16:27:24) mhu: okay, I think you can make it xml; the current binary cache is only a helper implementation detail; it does not need to remain.
(16:27:59) LiHeng: okay, i think so.:)
(16:30:11) LiHeng: and (b)and (c) would be same problems for me, and it is putted on the agenda at first by me.
(16:30:27) mhu: as long as the performance is good, you can save everything to a single xml file (probably majority of slowly chaniging items); there maybe fast changing items (WindowState.xcu's ?), that should probably go into smaller individual files?
(16:30:59) mhu: ah, okay; yes (b) is (c) is probably the same, you are right.
(16:31:37) xiuzhi: hi all
(16:31:47) mhu: Hi xiuzhi
(16:31:53) xiuzhi: sorry for late
(16:31:58) xiuzhi: mhu:moin
(16:32:03) LiHeng: xiuzhi is coming now
(16:32:04) mhu: moin :-)
(16:32:13) LiHeng: hello, xiuzhi
(16:32:28) xiuzhi: LiHeng:hi afternoon
(16:32:29) liangjun: xiuzhi:hello
(16:32:43) xiuzhi: liangjun:how are you
(16:33:03) LiHeng: xiuzhi: we just talk about the "readonly"/"shared" item in configmgr
(16:33:41) xiuzhi: LiHeng:see . I looked your agenda and last meeting minutes
(16:34:48) LiHeng: mhu:As I saw from (b), finally we just need "Readonly"/"Shared" Item for administrator
(16:36:35) LiHeng: and in answer (c), you think those items would be loaded at startup for flush the "Shared" setting, right?
(16:37:57) mhu: LiHeng: yes, "administrator" owns those items...
(16:38:43) mhu: ...and yes, they would be merged "over" (possibly conflicting) user settings.
(16:40:48) LiHeng: last question for shared item. Do you means all of items admin owns that couldn't be modified by other users? But now oo have no such item in
(16:44:33) LiHeng: mhu:last question for shared item. Do you means all of items admin owns that couldn't be modified by other users? But now oo have no such item in
(16:44:58) mhu: are you sure? I have just grep'ed over a shared registry; there are lots of "oor:finalized=true" items?
(16:47:59) LiHeng: i mean I not sure that the all shared items couldn't be medified by other users (16:48:47) mhu: no, not all; I am talking about "share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Paths.xcu" for example, which has a couple of "oor:finalized=true"
(16:49:52) mhu: (another file is same path, but "Label.xcu")
(16:52:34) LiHeng: in "oo-dev 3" has no Paths.xcu in share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/ now (at least in my machine)
(16:52:34) mhu: (but, when I look at it, "Labels.xcu" is probably not critical; making no difference whether a user modifies it or not)
(16:53:20) mhu: oh, I took some old (2.x, x unknown) installation...
(16:54:46) mhu: ...maybe I have missed a couple of changes to the configuration (?)
(16:55:31) LiHeng: we will comfire it tomorrow
(16:55:39) mhu: ...but, that does still not mean, that another layer / backend could not make use of that "finalized" attribute.
(16:56:30) mhu: ...and if an admistrator wants to preconfigure an installation, it can still make sense.
(16:56:39) mhu: ...at least I think so.
(16:57:40) mhu: yes, please confirm (with whom?) whether is "finalized" concept is still there.
(16:58:02) mhu: s/whether is/ whether this/
(16:58:26) LiHeng: yes, i will
(16:58:33) mhu: okay, thanks
(16:59:56) LiHeng: in theory, when a user changed status of a item, administrator couldn't flush it with Share configure,do you think so ?
(17:03:31) mhu: Hmm, I think a user cannot change a "shared" item? But otherwise, user modifyable setting of course take precedence over the "template" / installed values; is it this that you are asking?
(17:06:12) LiHeng: As i saw, Path-Options have two layers if user edit a item , it will keep in user cache. And take back the original setting while user click "default" button.
(17:06:59) mhu: yes, that's how PathOptions work.
(17:08:13) LiHeng: so original (default) setting are kinds of "Shared" , but it can be changed by a user
(17:08:14) mhu: but that is only a "default" value of an item that could be stored in the merged users directory as well as the users modified setting, I think.
(17:08:48) mhu: yes, the "default" settings come from the shared layer.
(17:10:06) mhu: this is what I would call a "template", where for every (new) users first startup the user settings are generated and stored in the users directory (as you are planning)
(17:11:56) mhu: sorry, but looking at the time, do have more to discuss for today?
(17:11:57) LiHeng: oh, i see, shared item wouldn't be modified by user any time
(17:12:15) mhu: yes, that's the idea :-)
(17:13:07) LiHeng: oh, we need talk about, therefore we come back this discussion next work, right?
(17:13:35) mhu: okay, yes we can continue this discussion next week, of course.
(17:14:28) LiHeng: before it, we should confirm serveral preblom in this week,:)
(17:14:38) mhu: yes, okay
(17:14:46) LiHeng: thank you,
(17:15:11) mhu: thank you for your fresh ideas for an old problem.
(17:15:46) LiHeng: thank you for your patience. see you next Thurday
(17:15:53) mhu: okay, bye all, see you next week.
(17:15:55) xiuzhi: see you
(17:16:05) LiHeng: sorry thursday
(17:16:07) mhu: bye
(17:16:13) LiHeng: bye
(17:16:16) liangjun: mhu: bye
(17:17:08) LiHeng: liangjun:can you confirm "finalized" setting?
(17:20:19) LiHeng: 88
(17:20:31) liangjun: bye

Rosie's varied media works take the form of large scale site-specific installations, smaller more intimate constructions, and drawing/collage dealing with the spatial realm that gives way to the sculptural shamanistic forms.
"On a very basic level, my work is about the celebration of the life and/or death of the human spirit as it coexists with living beings on our planet. On an abstract level, I feel my creative spirit exists in the tension field between these two modes of "being". My work is the result of my investigation of form as the dialogues between my work and myself are made concrete or brought to a comprehensive state. It is through this dialogue that I investigate the inner and outer limits of Art, Life, and Death." — Rosie Thompson

We Answer Your Questions
Not sure if you need a safety plan? Want to learn more about the app and its developers?
Here are some answers to your frequently asked questions
What is a Psychological Crisis?
A psychological crisis is a temporary emotional condition in which psychological equilibrium is disrupted and rational thought can no longer be properly exercised. The person affected may have to fight with feelings of being overwhelmed or of losing control, as a response to which dysfunctional thoughts and actions can often emerge. It is therefore important to have a clear plan in a crisis situation for how to disrupt negative trains of thoughts, regulate unnecessarily strong feelings, and mitigate dysfunctional impulses. A safety plan that has been written in advance can help with this.
What is a Safety Plan?
A safety plan is a clear, structured strategy that can help you when a crisis arises to make use of the appropriate actions for managing the situation. The safety plan should be followed step by step until the crisis is averted. The safety plan should always be created together with a therapeutic professional or another medical professional.
Who Needs a Safety Plan?
A safety plan can be helpful for anyone who has reason to suppose that a psychological crisis could arise in the future. This mostly applies to those who have already experienced such a crisis. Creating a safety plan is itself helpful preparation for managing a crisis as effectively as possible.
What does the App do?
The app is designed to give you quick and uncomplicated access to your personal safety plan. In a crisis it is important to act quickly. Since most people always have their smartphone with them, the app enables you to quickly view your safety plan and can help you to implement your plan.
Is the App a Medical Product?
No. The app does not serve to recognise, prevent, monitor, treat or alleviate illnesses. Similar to a notebook, you can simply enter the steps for your personal safety plan in the app to give you quick access to them.
Is my Personal Data protected?
The information your enter is only saved locally on your smartphone by the app. To prevent third parties from viewing your data, you should protect your smartphone with a password. Access to the app itself is not password protected so that you can access your safety plan quickly and with as few complications as possible.
Who is behind the App?
We are a young company called Blue Bird Technologies. Our aim is to develop mobile software solutions that can help people with mental illnesses in their day-to-day lives. We see ourselves as a social business that primarily pursues social goals. The Safety Plan App is part of our wider app development.
How much does the App cost?
The App is available free of charge.

blackjack h
Blackjack H is a mid-stakes blackjack game with not one, but two side bets to make the action really sizzle. You are going to have a great time and see multiple chances to win. The bet limits are set up for experienced players. The minimum bet in the game is €25 EUR per hand while the maximum is €1,000 EUR. This isn't for people new to the Blackjack. First of all, it's for people with an established Blackjack strategy who want to spread their wings. The first side bet is called Perfect Pairs. The object is to get two cards of the same color from the dealer. The second side bet is called 21+3. The goal is to work out a decent poker hand out of your card and the dealer's up card. If you do it, you can win.

Now is the time to expand the map — and our conception of where our leaders come from.
Kate Catherall
A recent anecdote in The New Yorker caught our attention:
When James Comey took over as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in 2002 . . . he summoned his young prosecutors for a pep talk . . . Addressing this ferociously competitive cohort, Comey asked, "Who here has never had an acquittal or a hung jury?" Several go-getters, proud of their unblemished records, raised their hands.
But Comey, with his trademark altar-boy probity, had a surprise for them. "You are members of what we like to call the Chickenshit Club," he said.
Obviously, like many Americans, we have complicated feelings about Comey. But are we members of the club he describes too? We ask because too many of us in politics are risk averse. We invest in a narrow set of races and then brag about our winning records. We ignore rural districts and overlook unconventional candidates. This narrow map approach has been tried and failed: Donald Trump is President; Republicans control congress; Republicans have 34 of 50 governor's seats and control both chambers in 32 states, including 17 with veto-proof majorities.
Now is the time to expand the map — and our conception of where our leaders come from. Virginia is the place to start.
Virginia state elections are on November 7th. The Arena PAC is supporting 11 candidates for the Virginia House of Delegates in two critical areas: messaging and organizing. Many of these candidates have been overlooked, either because of their background or because of perceived winnability of their district. As part of this work, we've funded the addition of 17 organizers across these races and one statewide organizing director. We've also partnered with Avalanche Strategy and WIN Media to produce video ads for six of these candidates and with Mobilize America to translate these ads into voter and volunteer action.
All of these candidates are running for seats currently held by Republicans. According to the Cook Political Report, three of these races are "toss up" or "probable Democratic," and three are "Democratic reach." The remaining five are "tidal wave" districts — meaning Democratic victories in those districts would be historic.
Now is the time to be bold. Join us. Let's expand the map.

RAEng deadline: 11 Sept 2017
The Faculty have agreed an internal review process for submissions to the Royal Academy's Research Chairs/Senior Research Fellowships scheme. As the RAEng deadline is 11 September, the process will be light touch. You may recall the scheme requires £250k industry contribution.
Applicants are asked to provide a 2 page outline (maximum), to be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com by noon on Tuesday 22 August detailing the following:
- Details of proposed industry support (please note it is not necessary to submit a finalised support letter from your industrial partner at this stage)
- Fit with University research and investment strategy
- Impact of research
- Plans for self-sustainability once RAEng funding has ended
The 2 page outlines will be reviewed by a Faculty level panel. Any queries regarding applications to this scheme should be referred to your School Research Support Manager (firstname.lastname@example.com) in the first instance.
Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships
Deadline: 4pm 05 Sep 2017
The RAEng Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships allows academics to concentrate on full-time research and be relieved of teaching and administrative responsibilities. The purpose of the Fellowships is to cover the salary costs of a replacement academic who will take over the awardee's teaching and administration duties for up to one year. An additional support fund of up to £2.5k is available for miscellaneous research costs
ESRC IAA Scheme open
Deadline: noon 13 Oct 2017
The ESRC has awarded the University over £1m to deliver the Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) until 31 March 2019. The IAA will be used to fund knowledge exchange activities to accelerate the impact of research in the social sciences, across the University. The aims of the IAA are to:
- increase knowledge exchange through staff exchanges/placements between the University and external user organisations;
- align external partners and academics strategically to extend collaboration and shape the research agenda, and influence policy and practice through relationship building;
- provide flexible and innovative opportunities for researchers to translate research into practice;
- provide training workshops and tools development to extend the University's culture of engagement into new and innovative areas.
This call encourages initiatives that increase our engagement with commercial businesses since these have been under-represented in previous calls.
ESRC IAA schemes cover potential impact activities at all stages of the research process, from setting up networks to help inform or scope new research projects, to the development of activities designed to apply previous research.
Staff exchanges/placement- Flexible support for secondment-out of academics to external partner organisations or enabling secondment-in of external partners. This scheme is to increase the exchange of knowledge through mobility of people, enhance external links and provide the secondee with experience of working in a partner organisation. External partners must provide match funding in cash for secondment-out staff exchanges. Funding available – normally up to £25k.
Relationship building- Flexible support for building relationships with non-academic partners. Proposals that include a direct cash contribution from one or more commercial businesses will be particularly welcomed. Particularly innovative proposals to develop relationships that include in-kind contributions will also be considered, where the lack of a direct contribution is justified. Funding available – normally up to £20k.
Research into practice- Activity to translate research evidence for use by research users/ practitioners. The scheme is flexible and open to innovative projects and activities may include policy or evidence seminars, knowledge exchange or co-produced research etc. Funding available - normally up to £30k.
Rapid response to fund up to £3k and enable short projects to respond quickly to opportunities. This scheme operates as an open call and feedback will normally be given within two weeks of submission.
Training workshops and tools development are not part of the invited schemes and instead will form a programme of activity managed by the IAA team. However, if you have an idea, please contact email@example.com

Phase one of a major expansion started this week at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation. KYUK took a tour and reports that on your next trip to YKHC, you can expect to see some changes inside the hospital.
The kitchen and cafeteria are closed at YKHC, and that's just the beginning.
"Our new kitchen and cafeteria are going in the same location," said YKHC Director of Facilities Dave Scherer, "so we needed to close them down for a period of time while we do the renovation."
Many parts of the hospital are going to be switching around. Some of the food preparation will be done off of the property for a while.
"And we've prepared all our patient meals in one of our offsite kitchens, or rather one of our treatment centers," said Scherer, "where we prepare all of the meals for our inpatients and bring those over every day for each meal."
And for outpatients and anyone else, for the time being, it's going to be what they call "grab and go." The old reception area of the hospital operating room will now serve as a makeshift café and food source, though that part of the operation is not fully operational yet.
From now through May 27, snack meals are available from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. For the time being, they are providing bagged meals as a stopgap while they await one piece of equipment before a tentative opening on May 28. After the 28th, the grab-and-go café will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays.
The Health Center's main conference room will also be closed soon. It's going to be the new location for blood draw and lab storage. And shortly after the kitchen renovation begins, a temporary diagnostic imaging space will be set up to provide ultrasound and mammography during the renovation closures.
"So we're doing a lot of empty chair, musical chairs type of work," Scherer said. "Putting stuff in one area of the hospital so we can close down areas of the hospital."
Scherer says that they don't anticipate any disruption of services. Outside the hospital, increased construction traffic has stepped up for the new road development that's needed behind the hospital, and that's just the beginning. Plenty more heavy equipment is on the way.
"We've had dump trucks come in frequently through the parking lot over the last few days. We're setting air handlers on the roof of the hospital, so we'll be seeing some crane activity and flying some air handlers over the roof," said Scherer.
With the first barge coming in later this month, Scherer says that there will be a lot of material loading going on in the early part of the summer.

I began Printing again with the new larger mask, it had some interesting results.
The Print came out much smoother, with more of the ink coming through the Mask, but I'm still not managing to get the whole of the Image as a Print ( the hair clips didn't come through on this one).
I thought at this point I might as well try a Print based on the Positive Mask, so gave it a go.

Special Features
Washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine) is an excellent form of entertainment!
One of the things you will definitely want to try when you come to Japan is washoku (traditional Japanese cuisine): Sushi, tempura, teppanyaki . . . What these well-known Japanese foods have in common is the joy of watching them being prepared at the counter where you are seated. The skill of the chef as he or she prepares the dish in front of you is an entertainment in itself! Make sure to enjoy not just the taste but also the artful display.
The best way to eat tempura: Straight from the oil pan
Of course, tempura tastes great when it is brought to you arranged attractively on a dish, but it is something special when the chef uses chopsticks to pass fresh-fried morsels straight from the pan to your plate. Either order a set course of tempura or just order the pieces you want one at a time, as they take your fancy. But to savor top-quality tempura at its most delicious, the important thing is to eat it as soon as it is cooked.
Sushi lovingly prepared by a highly trained craftsperson
Kaiten sushi restaurants, where you pick your dishes off a conveyor belt at your table, are attractive for their reasonable prices and no-fuss service. But at least once, you should also try a real sushi counter, where you can savor the soul of Japanese food culture. The expert chefs who make sushi undergo years of training, during which they refine their knowledge and hone their skills. Each restaurant and each chef has a distinct idea of how hard to boil the rice and how thick to slice the topping, and each piece of sushi is lovingly prepared as a result. The result is a show of dexterous skill that no visitor should miss.
Enjoying the waft of meaty aromas: Part of the fun of teppanyaki
Teppanyaki, where the chef wields a spatula and a meat fork in a splendid display of culinary skill, is a form of Japanese cooking that truly embodies the idea of food as entertainment. Enjoying teppanyaki does not involve a complicated ceremony. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the spectacle unfolding before your eyes, as the chef takes simple ingredients, releases their wonderful aromas, and turns them into delicacies.
So admired is Japanese food around the world that it has been declared by UNESCO to be an intangible cultural asset. Make sure to enjoy the true taste of Japan!

text: Recent X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have revealed that plastic deformation and a residual elastic strain field can be present around the graphite particles in ductile cast iron after manufacturing, probably due to some local mismatch in thermal contraction. However, as only one component of the elastic strain tensor could be obtained from the XRD data, the shape and magnitude of the associated residual stress field have remained unknown. To compensate for this and to provide theoretical insight into this unexplored topic, a combined experimental-numerical approach is presented in this paper. First, a material equivalent to the ductile cast iron matrix is manufactured and subjected to dilatometric and high-temperature tensile tests. Subsequently, a two-scale hierarchical top-down model is devised, calibrated on the basis of the collected data and used to simulate the interaction between the graphite particles and the matrix during manufacturing of the industrial part considered in the XRD study. The model indicates that, besides the viscoplastic deformation of the matrix, the effect of the inelastic deformation of the graphite has to be considered to explain the magnitude of the XRD strain. Moreover, the model shows that the large elastic strain perturbations recorded with XRD close to the graphite–matrix interface are not artifacts due to e.g. sharp gradients in chemical composition, but correspond to residual stress concentrations induced by the conical sectors forming the internal structure of the graphite particles. In contrast to common belief, these results thus suggest that ductile cast iron parts cannot be considered, in general, as stress-free at the microstructural scale.

Scaling and Root Planing
Online Dental Education Library
Our team of dental specialists and staff strive to improve the overall health of our patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing and treating conditions associated with your teeth and gums. Please use our dental library to learn more about dental problems and treatments available. If you have questions or need to contact us.
As we strive to provide optimal care for all of our patients, a minimum of 24 hour notice is requested if you need to change your reserved appointment time.
Some cases of acute periodontal (gum) disease that do not respond to more conventional treatment and self-care such as flossing may require a special kind of cleaning called scaling and root planing.
The procedure begins with administration of a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. Then, a small instrument called a "scaler," or an ultrasonic cleaner, is used to clean beneath your gum line to remove plaque and tartar.
The root surfaces on the tooth are then planed and smoothed. If effective, scaling and root planing helps the gums reattach themselves to the tooth structure. Additional measures may be needed if the periodontal pockets persist after scaling and root planing.

Hilary Barry
Hilary lived in Brynmawr at the Head of the Valleys for 17 years. On a Sunday morning she walked over the mountains, across fields and down valleys with her father and brother. The memories, associations and traces of the history of a place – geological or man-made – remain with her. The rugged Welsh landscape she remembers from her childhood has been destroyed, renovated and transformed throughout her lifetime: it leaves her wishing to uncover, delve and reveal her thoughts and memories through painting.
In those mountains, ancient rocks, beeches and oaks, the gushing waterfalls and dramatic weather and rushing tides, there is something about lineage and layers: a true source material which speaks of elemental cycles of birth, growth, deterioration and death. In her painting she seeks to evoke these memories, looking for poetic rhythms and echoes to make resonant statements.
Certain elements are always important and evident in her work: emotive spirit, a sense of passing time and of memory connecting with our deepest thoughts. She is naturally concerned with composition, decomposition, colour and form. She likes there to be a rhythm and depth in the painting style which draws your eyes across the surface and excites the mind, translating the energy of the subject through the physicality of mark making, gestures and colour. She aims to retain a freshness that creates openness and provokes questions.

Nifty spot opened at 8819.80 and made a high of 8826.90 , went down till 8754.20 before closing at 8805.05 . Had mentioned that long positions can be taken above 8817 and short positions can be taken below 8771 for the day .
Nifty triggered our long trade but could not complete any target and took our SL . Nifty then triggered our short trade and completed just 1 target . Nifty tested our short trigger for the week and reversed and traded the entire day between our weekly long and short trigger levels .
Have been mentioning since November that ' A deeper downmove can be expected on a consecutive close below 7895 ' and we had seen Nifty make a low of 7893.80 in the last week of December. Nifty has gained nearly 900+ points after holding the cbsl of 7895 till now. Those who are holding longs or intending to go long on a correction should keep a strict cbsl of 8660 spot for their positions .
Now for this week Nifty Spot needs to break and sustain above 8855 for long confirmation, then we can expect a move till 8892 - 8919 initially and closing above 8935 we can expect the next move till 8990 - 9052 . Similarly this week Nifty spot needs to break and sustain below 8773 for short confirmation, then we can expect a move till 8695 - 8668 initially and closing below 8652 we can expect a further move till 8596 - 8535' .
For the month of February we can expect uptrend in Nifty spot on a consecutive closing above 8696 and downtrend on a consecutive closing below 8427 . In January had mentioned 8329 closing as the long confirmation level for Nifty and we saw a move of 340+ points after Nifty gave a consecutive close above the monthly long confirmation level . This month so far we have got a further move of 125 points after Nifty has closed above our long confirmation level.
Nifty is now near a resistance zone of 8780 - 8840 and has been taking resistance there. Nifty needs to break this zone and sustain above 8875 for a further up move. Incase Nifty is unable to break and sustain this range then we may see a correction from near 8840 - 8875 levels till 8650 - 8550 levels . Those who are holding longs or those who are looking to enter fresh longs on any corrections this week should keep a strict cbsl of 8660 spot for their positions.
For today if Nifty spot sustains above 8825 we can see a initial move on the upside till 8845 & on sustaining above 8851 we may see further move till 8888 . Similarly if Nifty spot sustains below 8785 we may see a initial move on the downside till 8765 & on sustaining below 8759 we may see a further move till 8722
Nifty Spot Levels for the day are
Long above 8825 for 8837 - 8851 - 8888 , SL 8799
Short below 8785 for 8773 - 8759 - 8722 , SL 8811

Cycling Caps
Our cycling caps are made for us in Italy and are pretty spectacular. Made from a polycotton mix, we wanted to create a pretty retro cap, but still looking clean, modern and without loads of advertising all over it.
Left side grey, right side navy with a white stripe down the middle. Under the peak of the cap is our logo with an elasticated back. As far as caps go, we are pretty happy with these, now get on your bike and go and explore!
