What could be better than a chocolate-filled visit to Hawaii? No, really, we're asking you, because we can't think of anything ourselves!
Grab your bikini, your taste for adventure, and all of your chocolate-loving friends, it's time for a trip to Honolulu!
Madre Chocolates
Perhaps one of the most popular chocolate factories in the entire country will top our Honolulu list as #1 must-visit for chocolate lovers, Madre Chocolates. This organic-loving, fair trade supporting, sustainably raw bean to bar factory tries to connect guests to the source, providing various workshops, classes, and behind the scenes looks at local cacao farmers. Learn how the rich chocolate flavors connect directly to the rich cultural heritage as you try traditional Aztec or Olmec chocolates, the popular Lilika Passionfruit or Criollo Bars, or the Coconut Milk and Caramelized Ginger Chocolate. It's very easy to see why this spot has won over 23 different Hawaiian, American, and International Chocolatier awards thus far!
Menehune Mac Candies
If you would like an official tour of our next favorite island chocolate hotspot you'll have to be here around 10 am on a Sunday, but if you would just like to taste some of the most delicious chocolate, toffee, and macadamia nut candies on the island, you can do that anytime here at Menehune! Menehune Mac Candies is a candy maker heaven that sells all kinds of uniquely local delicacies from the Mac Nut Crunch to the Kona Coffee and Mac. Some of the most popular flavors here include the Pineapple Snow and Matcha Latte, the latter of which is a local green tea infused chocolate candy. Menehune also caters, sells private labels, and produces gifts and gift baskets.
Manoa Chocolates Hawaii
If you can't get enough of that fresh, local, raw cacao taste then you need to also come to Manoa Chocolates Hawaii, the Kaika chocolate factory with a tasting room and shop that neither locals nor tourists can resist. At Manoa you will be able to enjoy another sustainable bean to bar option, this one opened in 2010 and focusing mainly on dark chocolate. The depth of flavor in these local beans give way to the unique characteristics of Hawaii's geography and climate, a tasting experience you won't get just anywhere else. Try the Hawaiian Sea Salt, Costa Rica 72, or Breakfast Bar with Coffee Nibs to see exactly what we mean!
Honolulu Chocolate Company
The Honolulu Chocolate Company definitely should not be overlooked while visiting the island, this local favorite originally starting out as a popular cafe in 1987. This company calls the Ward Complex Center it's home in Manoa and gets pretty hectic around the holidays, with several delicious local options inside that are great for gift giving! Try the classic candied apples, orange slices, or macadamia nuts and toffee. The best sellers would probably be a toss-up between the Macadamia Haystacks and the Ginger Chocolate, both excellent local representations. This place is a chocolate lovers paradise, island-style!
Island Princess
Last but not least we have the Island Princess, the local company that claims to have 'Hawaii's finest macadamia nuts, chocolates, and confections'. This Oahu located company focuses solely on the 'quality, creativity, and service' of its company, and overall fairly eco-friendly and locally centric business whose owner lays claim to an additional 1,100-acre orchard and production facility. You'll definitely see the Aloha SpIrit within this facility, and that's not just because of its hula maiden logo! Try the Macadamia Popcorn Crunch or highly popular Mele Macs, the toffee, chocolate, and powdered sugar dipped nutty creation everyone goes nuts for!

This month I learned that the G in gmail stands for Google. For months, I had been wondering what it was. How come I had never heard of the company, never met anyone who worked for this gmail..?
I also learned that you can delete messages from your iPhone. I learned this because I stopped receiving email, handed my phone to M (as I do at the first sign of technical difficulty), only to have him tell me that I had 59,000 emails in my inbox.
"Don't you ever delete emails?"
"Um. I didn't know I could." (I remind him that I just cottoned on to that gmail business. Wasn't that something to be proud of?)
Sometimes I wonder when I'm going to run out of things to do that will give M reason to look at me like the world's Idiot in Chief.
(Just this morning he told me that hitting the smoke alarm is not the best way to silence it. Maybe so, but it feels awesome.)
It seems like I will never run out of material.

"It's like a fly caught in amber," says documentarian Chris Hegedus of her cinematic calling. "You're there with your camera and you catch bits and pieces of events and circumstances." Startup.com, the documentary she co-directed with Jehane Noujaim, captures the rise and fall of a promising Internet company in all its sticky glory. Compellingly structured with plot twists, character development, and soap-opera intrigues worthy of a good novel, the film is a metaphor for the spiraling virtual economy as well. "We didn't know we were catching that exciting time as the bubble was bursting," says Hegedus. "We thought the ending of the film would be everybody becoming millionaires and showing us their new mansions."
Another of the 18 feature-length documentaries screening at this year's film festival, Rithy Panh's The Land of Wandering Souls, examines the dot-com economy at its harshest, most basic level: the Cambodian migrant workers digging the ditch for their country's first fiber-optic cable. "We used to talk of magic eyes and magic ears, and now we have them," says one ragged worker, recounting wondrous tales of a machine that can offer up the sights and sounds of a man's family halfway around the world. But as another ironically notes, "I don't have electricity, I have an oil lamp." While the men dig into the rocky soil, avoiding poisonous snakes, land mines, and human skeletons, their wives and children lunch on red ants, beg for rice, and dig for crabs in leech-infested waters. In such a setting the benefits of the Information Superhighway are debatable at best.
Four films are nominated for the 2001 Golden Gate Award for best Bay Area documentary. Sophia Constantinou's Divided Loyalties relates the strife-ridden history of Cyprus through the memories and mementos of its homesick refugees. Fresh, forthright attitudes about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are expressed by seven Jerusalem youngsters of differing faiths in Promises by Justine Shapiro, Carlos Bolado, and B.Z. Goldberg. Micha X. Peled's Store Wars is an exciting look at the populist spirit that engulfs a small Virginia town when retail megagiant Wal-Mart comes a-courting, blueprints in hand. And in We Just Tellin' Stories Lawrence Andrews delves into the Medea Project, a rambunctious theater company for women incarcerated at the S.F. County Jail. Each film belongs to the great documentary tradition of capturing life's myriad truths through the unblinking eye of the movie camera. -- Matthew Stafford

WESTON (CBSMiami) – Investigators with the Broward Sheriff's Office are trying to find the vandals responsible for a string of graffiti crimes throughout the city.
According to BSO, several suspects drove through the communities of San Remo, San Sebastian, Bonaventure, Village Homes, Patio Village Homes, The Gables, San Michelle, and Executive Homes; spray painting homes and cars.
It happened sometime late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
The vandals spray painted the letters "WOLA" on nearly two dozen homes and cars.
The color of the spray paint was black and white.
"It's a hassle. We have to repaint the whole house pretty much," said homeowner Cathy Saia. "We've lived here a long time. I doubt it was kids in the neighborhood."
"We think it was teenagers who were mobile," said Weston BSO chief Kevin Butler. "Right now, we have no leads and are hoping anyone who knows anything about this will share it with us."
BSO investigators said they have not found any links to gangs that they know of yet.
One couple who had their pickup truck vandalized had surveillance cameras rolling that showed a car stop in front of their pickup and then roll past.
"A neighbor knocked on our door Sunday morning and said we better take a look, and that's when we found it," the homeowner said.
Other cities in the county also reported similar vandalisms.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sergeant Anton or Detective Kravecz at (954) 389-2056 or Broward Crimestoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).

America The Great Was Free
America the great has handled many challenges since it was first born. Men and women and families sacrificed so much because they had a dream to live in a place where they could serve and worship God freely.
That freedom came with a price. America the great came to be because God's favor was upon those men who were willing to resist a government that attempted to keep those freedoms in check.
That freedom, which includes the ability to develop and creatively express yourself and pursue your God-given purpose, was then severely challenged over the issue of slavery. America was torn in two for a while.
It was again challenged with a devastating economic depression and two world wars. America the great stood tall and strong until a movement took place in the entertainment industry.
That movement basically said the pursuit of pleasure will not be restrained by anything. America the great chose to forget where its greatness came from. It is amazing how so much can change in fifty years.
There is some hope in the fact if America has dropped so far in so short a time, it can rise back up and be restored even quicker.
America The Great – Where Are You?
America the great is more accurately described now as America the disgusting. Our news coverage recently has been dominated the past SEVERAL days by the pictures of a British princess' chest. This is beyond sad.
It would be easy to blame our news agencies but they are only going to report what sells, and America continues to buy into all sorts of lustful adventures.
America seems to be more concerned with being entertained than pursuing the excellence of their destinies.
America the great is more focused on discovering the variety of ways someone can get a free ride. It makes little difference whether it is ethical or not, let alone whether it is immoral or not.
The values that brought this nation to its place of greatness are disappearing fast. Excellence and integrity take a back seat to convenience and mediocrity. America's motto has become, what can this country do for me.
Are there people left in America who are willing to sacrifice some of their self-seeking adventures to pursue something greater than themselves?
Are there people willing to devote their time and money to make their community a better place to live by impacting real lives?
Look around you. There are families hurting. Single moms and the elderly are pretty much on their own. The institution of the family is barely surviving now.
Where has America the great gone? It has been thrown under the bus with God. Time magazine asked – Is God dead? – on it's cover in 1966.
The question is totally off mark. The question should have been – Is God dead in the hearts of Americans?
Where has America the great gone? It has gone to sleep with the court decisions that took God out of our schools, that legalized the murder of unborn babies, that and removed God from public life, and are trying to redefine marriage and the family.
The people have embraced themselves as a false god.
God gave a warning that if we forgot Him, forgot all that He has done, and forgot His ways, we would perish.
America The Great Can Be Restored
America the great, can you hear me? I believe that the Church and the homeschooling movement are the keys to restoring our nations to its former greatness. We will soon see.
Michael and Charleen
P.S. Do you want to see AMERICA THE GREAT restored? Join together with other Christian men to see your destiny and your family's destinies fulfilled at the link above.

Yesterday we were honored to welcome Phillip Cox, Grand Chapter President of Sigma Phi Epsilon to Georgetown. During what was the first visit to any SigEp chapter in the DC area by the Grand President since our chapter's creation, President Cox met with several brothers to discuss Sigma Phi Epsilon and it's impact on the lives of brothers across the nation. Brothers discussed the strengths of our chapter and the directions in which we plan to head in the coming years, and President Cox offered his input on our plans. With a wealth of knowledge about fraternal affairs, President Cox's insights will undoubtedly prove helpful in the years to come. Above all, it was an honor to welcome Grand President Cox to our chapter and to show him SigEp's place at Georgetown.

Would You Know if Your Child's Car Seat Was Recalled?
It may need critical safety repairs, so make sure you're in the loop
Buckling your brood into car seats and booster seats is job one of keeping them safe in the car. But if your child's seat has been recalled for safety defects, would you know about it — or even know how to find out?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 6 million car seats were recalled for safety defects in 2014, the largest recall in U.S. history. However, fewer than half of those car seats were repaired. That means parents either didn't know about the recall or didn't follow through on fixing their children's seats.
Related: Are You Using Your Child Car Seat Wrong?
Safe Kids Worldwide, a global organization dedicated to preventing injuries in children, conducted a study to find out why so few car seats were repaired and how to increase awareness about recalls. The survey found 80 percent of parents agreed that registering their child's car seat is important, and 68 percent knew manufacturers use the registration card to notify buyers of a recall. However, only 42 percent returned the card after buying a new car seat, so approximately 6 out of 10 parents may not learn about a recall.
How to register a car seat
Whichever way you choose to register your child's car seat, doing so will guarantee you'll be notified if it's recalled. There are two ways to do it.
1. Send in your car seat registration card (no postage necessary). According to Safe Kids Worldwide's president and CEO Kate Carr, sending in the card is the best way to keep up with car seat recalls. Manufacturers never use the information on registration cards for anything other than recall alerts. Your email address won't be used for product marketing or submitted to mailing lists.
2. Register online at safercar.gov or your car seat manufacturer's website. You also can print out a registration form from safercar.gov to fill out and mail in. You'll need the car seat manufacturer name, model name and number and date of manufacture from the label on the car seat.
Either way, if a company recalls a car seat, it will contact you directly via the contact information you provided.
Related: What to Do With Your Old Car Seat
How to check for car seat recalls
After you register, find out about product recalls at NHTSA, where you also can search for your car seat's specific model. Make sure you have the manufacturer name, model name and number and date of manufacture. If you discover a recall, contact your car seat manufacturer to verify it, or call NHTSA's toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236. You also can sign up to receive car seat recall email alerts at NHTSA.
If your car seat or booster has been recalled, ask if it's okay to use while you're waiting for the repair kit. Not all recalls are for safety reasons. Sometimes it's as simple as incorrect information on a label, in which case the manufacturer will simply send a new label. Sometimes the NHTSA will recommend continuing to use the recalled car seat while you wait for a repair kit because it's almost always safer than letting a child travel with just a seat belt.
Once you receive the free kit from the manufacturer, it's critical to follow through on fixing the car seat — and many repairs are simple. If the car seat is registered, you will receive the repair kit automatically.

On my 3rd Twitter birthday: 7 reasons Twitter is central to my life
Earlier today I noticed it's three years since my life on Twitter began. At the time I wrote about my belated entry to Twitterland.
It now seems strange to me that I was such a late starter compared to many other connected folk, given that Twitter is now so central to my life.
The primary reason I held off getting started on Twitter was that I felt that my blog was my primary space for content sharing, and I didn't want to divide my limited spare attention across platforms. I now know that blogs and Twitter are highly complementary. Yes Twitter can be time-consuming. But the rewards are absolutely worthwhile.
Here are 7 reasons why Twitter has become central to my life.
1. Twitter is an unbounded conversation.
In contrast to most social networks, Twitter provides a space for unbounded conversation. Anyone can follow you, find your tweets passed on by others, discover you in search, or come across you in any of a multitude of ways. You too can discover people and their contributions in many ways other than following them. In my post 3 years ago I referred to Twitter as a 'cross-section of human conversation'. It is still today a broadening slice of global conversation, bringing in the most relevant new participants and connections to discussions.
2. Twitter facilitates valuable new connections.
I haven't been keeping count, but it seems to me that at least half of the people I meet face-to-face or engage in meaningful dialogues with I have first encountered on Twitter. Many I see through their conversations with people I already know, others I find through tweets, and others I find through exploration. While I get many new followers on Twitter every day, I try to look at every single one, first to see whether I want to follow back, and also to see if I want to say hello directly, which I frequently do. In Living Networks I wrote how technology facilitates human connection. Twitter is outstanding at connecting people based on common interests. Because it is an unbounded conversation, with many points where people's interests intersect, there are continually happy accidents, the serendipity in creating fantastic connections that dedicated Twitter users know so well.
3. Twitter lets you get to know people.
Twitter lists allow you to focus more on selected people you follow. While someone's tweets only give you a limited view of who they are, they can be surprisingly revealing. The breadth of a person's interests become visible, and often their fundamental social views. In particular, you can usually get a good sense how much they are oriented to themselves or to others. There are many people I genuinely like and feel I know well, having only interacted with them on Twitter.
4. Twitter is an invaluable information discovery space.
A decade ago I used to tell investment banks they should set up systems to let their analysts share what they were reading with the bank's clients. That could be more valuable to the most sophisticated fund managers than reading what the analysts wrote. Today anyone can tap into what some of the most interesting people on the planet are reading and thinking about.
When I give my keynotes on the future of business, the most frequent question I get is how I keep on top of everything going on. While I have many information sources, the most important single one is Twitter. Of course I have to use it well for this to happen, but it is unquestionably the most valuable tool I have for keeping abreast of the most important and interesting changes in the world.
5. Twitter enhances and redefines blogging.
A large proportion of the traffic to my blog comes directly or indirectly from Twitter. While I also get a lot of search traffic, Google has basically said that its search rankings take significant cues from Twitter activity, so that would also erode without Twitter. While comments on blogs are still important, often the conversation happens on Twitter. By allowing easy sharing of links and quick ideas Twitter redefines the role of blogs. For some Twitter is sufficient, however anyone who blogs should be on Twitter to provide another platform for people to engage with their content.
6. Twitter gives access to breaking news.
Just watching my Twitter stream alerts me to any important news, almost always well before I would see it if I were looking on mainstream media. If I want to know the latest on a story, I will search on Twitter rather look at CNN or search Google News. For anyone who is not content to wait until the scheduled news broadcast on the hour, Twitter offers faster access to breaking news. Of course, what is on Twitter is not verified, filtered, and edited, but I think most people can deal with that given they get news faster.
7. Twitter is at the center of the emerging global brain.
Living Networks was all about the birth of the global brain and how the networks were coming to life. Just after the section on micro-messages I wrote:
Soaring connectivity is giving rise to what increasingly resembles a global brain. The idea is hardly new…Yet communication technology… is now allowing the incredibly rich flow of information and ideas that creates this single mind, that can integrate all of our intelligence and insight.
If we consider ourselves to be as neurons in the emerging global brain, then Twitter is today the single most important platform accelerating the flow of messages and ideas out of which a higher-order intelligence is emerging. Certainly, most of the messages on Twitter are in themselves essentially valueless. However there are sufficient messages that have value, and more importantly the emerging mechanisms on top of that, out of which a global brain is being born.
I often exhort people to 'contribute to the global brain', though which they will build their own success. Twitter provides a ready mechanism to do this.
Of course, the benefits I glean from my participation in Twitter come from how I use it. Others who haven't got as much value from Twitter may not be approaching it the right way. I may another time share in more detail how I use Twitter, but what works is highly individual – what's right for me may not be for others. However certainly, the value is there in Twitter for those want to find it.

The national breed of Israel, the Canaan Dog has its roots in the Pariah Dog of the Middle East, and which was gradually domesticated from 1935 when selective breeding programmes were developed to stabilise type. The breed comes in a variety of colours. Numbers in the show ring remain small. The Canaan Dog has been used by Israel's military forces as mine detectors and by the Red Cross.
* If you are asthmatic or have an allergy, you should consult your medical advisor before considering obtaining a dog. More information can also be found on
the Kennel Club website.
This group consists of miscellaneous breeds of dog mainly of a non-sporting origin, including the Bulldog, Dalmatian, Akita and Poodle.
The name 'Utility' essentially means fitness for a purpose and this group consists of an extremely mixed and varied bunch, most breeds having been selectively bred to perform a specific function not included in the sporting and working categories. Some of the breeds listed in the group are the oldest documented breeds of dog in the world.

Shivraj says Padmavat not to be screened in Madhya Pradesh even after name change
BHOPAL: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the controversial movie Padmavat won't be allowed to release in Madhya Pradesh.
Despite clearance by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the change in name--from Padmavati to Padmavat, theSanjay Leela Bhansali film is not going to get clearance from Madhya Pradesh government.
When asked by the media on release of controversial movie Padmavat, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan replied that he won't go back on his words. Chouhan had said that Padmavat that had hurt sentiments of the people by changing history would not be allowed to be shown in the state.
Chouhan was talking to the media after Surya Namaskar event in Bhopal. When asked that the censor board had made certain modifications in the movie and has passed it for viewing, CM Chouhan said that the ban on movie would still remain in Madhya Pradesh.
Clearly, movie-goers in Madhya Pradesh may not be able to watch the film, even though it is likely to be released in many other states in the country. The Karni Sena was most vociferous in the protests against the movie.
Walking an extra mile, Chouhan had earlier announced an award too on name of Padmavati and had addressed the mythical figure as Rashtramata. The movie is expected to be released on January 25.

Transcript Transistor Detail
Transistors Appendix Transistors are scalable electronic switches, made from doped silicon. Silicon forms a crystal, and have no free electrons at low temperature (around 0K). At higher temperatures (300K), thermal energy is sufficient to release some electrons from their covalent bonds. The availability of conducting electrons is, however, limited (more quantitative) because the bandgap energy is high relative to a good conductor (copper). Dopant : Phosphorus Boron Means : Add electrons to conduction band Remove electrons from valence shell, holes created Creates : N-type material P-type material N P N- and P-type doped silicon are the components necessary to build switching devices, like diodes and transistors. Dopant atoms can integrate with silicon's crystal lattice, and create additional holes or conducting electrons. Because phosphorus has five valance electrons, an additional weakly bound electron is present when it integrates. Thermal energy frees this Sets up a field Diffusion Establishes current equi Diffusion Si Si Si Si Diffusion Si Si P Si P+ Si P+ Si B Si B- Si B- Si Si Si Si Si Si P N + P N Field Si - E The diode device architecture fuses an N and a P-junction together. The NP junction with no voltage applied establishes an equilibrium such that the force of diffusion, which draws electrons into the P-type material, is opposed by the force of the electric field, which draws electrons back into the N-type material. This "equilibrium" electric field represents a potential difference around 0.76V (proven, p. 18 of Electronic Circuit Design and Analysis). N-type P-type Relative concentration of majority carrier in N-type material: electrons Si Si P Si Si B Si Si Diffusion "force" Relative concentration of minority carrier in P-type material: electrons The N-region contains a higher concentration electrons than the P-region. Electrons diffuse from the N to P-type material. E Electric field (oriented from positive to negative), ~0.75V Electric force (on electrons) due to equilibrium field N-type Electrons P-type Si Si P+ Si Si B- Si Si Diffusion "force" Electrons Diffusion establishes a charge separation, which sets up an electric field. The field exerts a force on the electrons opposite the direction of diffusion. E Electric field (oriented from positive to negative) , ~0.75V Electric force (on electrons) N-type P-type Diffusion "force" Electrons : equilibrium Diffusion continues and the charge separation continues to grow in magnitude, until the force of the electric field due to the charge separation equally opposes the force of diffusion. At this point, there is no net current flow across the junction, and the electron concentration at either side of the junction reaches an equilibrium value. Reverse Bias Applied Field E Net Field > Equilibrium Si Si P+ Si Si B- Si Si Force N P Equilibrium Field, ~0.75V E - + In reverse bias voltage, the fields are oriented in the same direction, and the magnitude of the electric field in the space charge region increases above the equilibrium value. This holds back electrons, and no current flows. With forward bias, the net result is that the eclectic field at the junction is lower than the equilibrium value, and electrons diffuse. E Applied electric field from reverse-bias voltage polarity Electric field (oriented from positive to negative) Net electric force due to fields N-type P-type Diffusion "force" Electrons drawn from P-type material near junction Electrons Reverse-bias voltage increases net field at the junction, opposing diffusion. Charges are drawn away from the junction by the field. Forward Bias Applied Field E Net Field < Equilibrium N Si Si Net diffusion P+ Si Si B- Si Si P Equilibrium Field E + - In reverse bias voltage, the fields are oriented in the same direction, and the magnitude of the electric field in the space charge region increases above the equilibrium value. This holds back electrons, and no current flows. With forward bias, the net result is that the eclectic field at the junction is lower than the equilibrium value, and electrons diffuse. E Applied electric field from forward-bias voltage polarity Electric field (oriented from positive to negative) Net electric force due to fields N-type P-type Diffusion "force" exceeds the net electric force, electrons diffuse across junction, where electron concentration is above equilibrium Electrons diffuse from junction into the bulk Electrons Forward-biased voltage reduces net field at the junction, reducing the width of the depletion region. The force of diffusion dominates. Device schematic Transfer function I Input: voltage V forward bias V reverse bias Output: current Current No current Two-state: Non-linear response at "on" threshold Voltage input Vin Sensitive: Only 0.7V "on" threshold I = Is*[ e^(Vin/Vt) -1 ] Is = Reverse bias current, 5*10^(-14)A Vt = Thermal voltage = 0.026 The output is highly responsive to increases in the forward-biased input, above the "cut in" voltage threshold ~0.7V. At zero or reverse bias input voltage, the output current is the very small saturation value, around 5*10^(-14)A. Because the forward bias voltage is included in the exponent, the exponential terms increases with respect to the input voltage. At the cut in voltage ~0.7V, the input voltage driven exponential term begins to dominate the very small reverse bias saturation current term, resulting in the exponential behavior. Physically, this means that diffusion is unrestricted once the forward bias voltage establishes a field that fully V=IR I=Vs/R R Voltage Source Diode Vd Energy balance: I= -(1/R)*Vd+Vs/R Vd = Vs Vd KVL (energy balance): Vs=IR+Vd I= -(1/R)*Vd+Vs/R The diode current and voltage are given by the intersection between the circuit load line and the diode performance curve. This intersection, or Q-point, gives the DC voltage and current for the forward-biased diode in the circuit: this intersection identifies the feasible diode operating conditions that also satisfy the energy balance of the circuit. Voltage drop 0.7V Switch voltage Polarity forward to reverse bias 5V I 4.3V, I=4.3/R Supply : 5V R + - 0V, I=0 R + Time Zero output A diode circuit can make a switch. If the output is defined as the voltage drop across the resistance, then output is zero in the reverse bias condition (red). This is because the diode is reverse biased in this condition, resulting in no circuit current and no resistor voltage drop. Supply : 5V R I Vi (1) V (o) Vi (2) A diode circuit can make an AND gate. If both inputs are high (5V), then there is no potential difference across either diode (no voltage difference between input and supply). Neither diode is forward biased, no current flows. Since there is no current in the circuit, there is no voltage drop across the resistance and output voltage is 5V (high). If either input is low, then the diode is forward biased and the voltage drop across the diode will be ~0.7V. Thus, ~4.3V will drop across the resistance, resulting in a 0.7V (low) output. Vi (1) V (o) Vi (2) R I A diode circuit can make an OR gate. If either input is high (5V), the corresponding diode is forward biased with a 0.7V drop. The output voltage is 4.3V, and the resistance determines the output current (4.3V/R). E Net diffusion P+ E Input Voltage Equilibrium Field - Si P + N 10V Supply Voltage, V Resistance, R Voltage Out = Always High A diode in the circuit will not switch the output because the applied field from the supply voltage will over-ride the applied field from the input voltage. The diode is forward biased with respect the supply voltage , so current will always flow through the circuit. Current through first diode controlled by input voltage Second diode is reverse biased with respect to supply, so no current Input Voltage Supply Voltage, V + + - - 10V Resistance, R Voltage Out = Always Low Adding a second diode establishes a three-terminal device in which the voltage across the first diode is set by the input and unaffected by the supply. The second diode is reverse biased with N P N An NPN junction produces the effect of two opposing diodes in the circuit. Forward Bias Reverse Bias Applied field from supply voltage Applied field from input voltage Force Net diffusion - P Input Voltage Equilibrium Field Supply Voltage, V - + Base current Equilibrium Field N + N 10V Resistance, R Voltage Out = Always Low No current flows in the outer circuit because all electrons entering the P-type region exit through P-region lead, and because no current can flow across the reverse biased PN junction Make base thin P N Net diffusion N Force The electron concentration across the P region varies from high at the forward biased junction through which electrons are passing to low at the reverse biased junction, at which no current is flowing. Transistors are designed to allow diffusion of electrons across this concentration Net diffusion N Emitter - Force N Collector Equilibrium Field - Input Voltage Supply Voltage, V + + Ib P Base 10V Resistance, R Voltage Out = Contollable In a bi-polar junction NPN transistor, electrons are injected into and diffuse through the base to the collector, completing the outer circuit. Many of the electrons will not recombine with holes in the base (P-region) for two reasons. First, the emitter is heavily doped and the base is lightly doped. Second, the P-region is thin. Because there is a concentration gradient across the region, electrons diffuse towards the reverse-biased base-collector junction. The electrons Device Transfer Function Energy balance: Ib= -(1/Rb)*Vbe+Vbase/Rb Rb + Vbase - I (base) Vbe Intersection gives Ib and Vbe B Load line E Ib The transistor can be de-coupled into two parts, first one being the base-emitter, which functions like a diode. Diode performance can be determined (along with the base current) by the load line intersection with the diode performance curve. iC I s e vBE Energy balance: Vsource = Vt +IcRc VT C Rc Rb + Vbase - I (base) Vbe B E Vout Vt + - Vsource Ib Dp N A W 1 W 2 vBE VT 1 vBE VT iC iB I s I se e Dn N D LP 2 Dn b The current exiting the collector, Ic, is determined by the voltage across base-emitter junction (the input) only. This is because electron injection to the base from the emitter is the limiting factor on the current through the circuit, and base voltage control the degree of electron injection. As a result, Ic is independent of the reverse-bias voltage polarity across the BC junction: if, for example, Rc decreases, the voltage drop across the transistor, Vt, will increase Output Out (Ic) Various inputs (Vbe) C B In (Vbe) E On Vt Off Vt Energy Balance: Vt must be > Vbe, else –(1/Rc)Vt+Vsource/Rc=Ic there is no reverse bias across the base-collector Two elements are necessary for the shared emitter, bi-polar junction NPN transistor. First, there must be reverse bias voltage polarity across the base-emitter junction to capture diffusing electrons in the base. This is represented on the x-axis. The output is weakly dependent upon the degree of reverse bias, reflected by weak slope of each line. But the output will drop off rapidly as if the voltage across the transistor is too low to maintain reverse bias across BE junction. Second, there must be forward-biased input voltage. As the input voltage increases (represented by each curve), the output current increases. The lower line

This lecture offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical development of the penal fine as a sanction from the point of view that the changing meaning of money influences the perceived appropriateness of fines as a punishment for every type of offence, or only certain offences. As will be shown here, a series of associations based on the idea of money, its essence and its capabilities had a profound impact on modern European legal culture. The different perception of the significance of money in contrast to freedom helps to explain the rise of imprisonment in the nineteenth century. The present use of fines to punish less serious crimes and misdemeanours within the criminal law can also be seen as a direct consequence of the development of money and its characteristics of impersonality and interchangeability since the nineteenth century. In the talk the idea will be explored that we need a way to build a nexus between money and freedom to make money sanctions for serious crimes more palatable.

Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook have been offseason workout partners for years, and Westbrook – who's had his own knee problems – thinks Rose will soon get back to being his old, explosive self. Per the Chicago Tribune:
"He's a tough guy," said Westbrook, the Thunder's All-Star guard. "It's unfortunate he had to be hurt and out another year. But he's going to come back the same D-Rose he was before."
Westbrook has endured two post-surgical procedures and missed 31 games this season. He also is sitting out half of back-to-back games, playing Monday after missing the Thunder's home loss to the Mavericks on Sunday.
"It's tough, but at the same time I have to do what's right for my body and for my health," Westbrook said.
When he plays, Westbrook has shined. He entered averaging 21.5 points, 7.1 assists and 5.7 rebounds and finished with 17 points against the Bulls. Westbrook took exception to a question about showing rust, responding with a curt, "Where?"
"I feel great," he said. "If I didn't feel the same energy and strength in my legs, I wouldn't play."

Sammy: A Dynamic Character in John Updike's "A&P"
In John Updike's "A&P", the main character, Sammy, becomes the story's narrator. Sammy is a typical nineteen-year-old man, working a boring, dead end job as a grocery store cashier in a lower middle class town. His only role models are Stokesie, a twenty-two year-old man doing the same job as Sammy, trying to support a family, and Lengel, his manager, who most likely some years earlier held the same occupation.
The entrance of the beautiful Queenie and her two friends break the cycle of the stereotypical customers that Sammy sees daily: "these are usually women with six children and varicose veins mapping their legs and nobody, including them, could care less" (p.16) . This is an eye opener for Sammy, who doesn't really step outside the boundaries of his boring little community.
Sammy not only notices Queenie as having remarkable beauty but also a slight arrogance about her: "she was showing them {the other two girls} how to do it, walk slow and hold yourself straight" (p.
15). Sammy can tell that Queenie is from at least an upper middle class family from the way she speaks and the manner she carries herself in. Sammy says that he "slid right down her voice into her living room" (p. 17). Being so envious and in awe of Queenie, he felt as if he had to do something to earn a place among those people in her social class, proving to himself and others he is better than the run-of-the-mill customers at the A&P. He quit his job not to impress Queenie, but to become one of the social elite.
While Sammy greatly admires Queenie's beauty and elegant manner, the ultra-conservative customers at the A&P think quite differently, almost negatively: "when Queenie's...


text: This factsheet focuses on Young Women's Support Groups (YSWGs) or safe spaces for girls. This is the seventh in a series of PRRINN-MNCH factsheets on the theme of Community Engagement which summarises that targeted strategies are required to improve maternal, newborn and child health among young married women in the north of Nigeria. Overall, Young Women's Support Groups in PRRINN-MNCH communities had positive effects on health-seeking behaviour. The benefits of these groups extended beyond health. In conclusion, if the least-supported young women are to be reached, a strategy of 'targeting within an age-specific target group' is essential.

On Friday I went with Sam Eades, my lovely publicist at Headline, to Clays printers in Bungay, to see Every Vow You Break roll off the presses. I had been told by David Headley at Goldsboro Books and S J Watson that it was an astounding day out ('like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for book nerds'), and that the sandwiches were very good. They were right on all counts.
After those remarkable sandwiches at Cambridge House, a beautiful Georgian building where the company started and which they now use for hospitality, We were shown around the massive factory by the lovely Vicky Ellis and Phil and Steve, having a peek at every single part of the process.
Standing in the middle of a factory full of conveyor belts piled up with my new novel has to be one of the top experiences of my life. If I say how close I was to wanting to breast feed my warm, fresh, book, you'll understand where it ranks for me.
Here, in the spirit of a geography field trip, is my photo essay. Unlike when they were printing the first editions of Harry Potter, when even mobile phones were confiscated at reception, they now allow cameras in.
So hard hats and hi-viz jackets off to all at Clays, and thank you for a day I will always remember.

A Saudi court has dismissed charges against 13 people over a crane collapse in 2015 that killed more than 100 people in Mecca.
The Mecca Criminal Court said it had no jurisdiction to rule on the case, which opened last August.
Two of the three presiding judges decided to drop the case; the third maintained that the court has jurisdiction, according to a report in the Arab News.
The defendants included Saudi and Pakistani nationals as well as a Jordanian, Canadian, Palestinian, Egyptian, Filipinos and United Arab Emirates citizen. They were accused of negligence, damaging public property and ignoring safety guidelines.
The prosecution is understood to have objected to the ruling and asked to appeal.
On 11 September 2015, the crawler crane collapsed after heavy winds toppled it leading to a fatal accident. The Bin Ladin Group was carrying out expansion works at the Grand mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia when the deadly disaster occurred as the city was preparing for the Hajj pilgrimage. As a result, at least 110 people were killed and 394 injured.

Everyone should probably know how obsessed with Cherry Blossoms I am, having flew to Japan twice in a row to catch it. This year, I decided to do something different. I decided at the very last minute to fly to South Korea for them. Yes, It was a blizzard and frivolous arrangement.
In case you're interested, Cherry blossoms are called beotkkot in Korean.
I didn't feel like going to Japan again because I've been there 3 times last year and the bloom I witnessed last year left me entirely satisfied. Fuelled in part by the fact that the flights were all horrendously expensive, I ditched Japan and hopped to South Korea instead! After all , it's been 5 years since I've been there! I want to make an entry about how I plan my itineraries/trips to make it both fun and budget friendly but I don't think anyone would be interested haha.
Anyway I flew into Busan via Vietnam Airline, had a longgggg layover in Noi Bai Airport and finally arrived in Busan. And after checking into my lovely hostel, sped straight to Jinhae. Check out my vlog below!
How to get from Busan to Jinhae
1) Go to Seobu Intercity Bus TerminalFrom my hostel, I took a train to Sasang Subway station and then walked to Seobu Intercity Bus Terminal. Exit from Exit 5, go up an escalator or a flight of stairs to the street and then turn left. The Bus terminal is the brown building on the left. The area is undergoing construction now so the Bus Terminal was hidden by canopy when I was around.
Sasang subway station is near the AIrport so if your accommodation is further out, it might be better to store your luggages at the lockers, go to Jinhae and then check into your accommodation afterwards. Something I forgot to do and regretted! There are lockers in almost every subway station and even inside Seobu Bus Terminal. They go for 1000 – 3000 won a day at Sasang Bus Terminal and I reckon I could probably fit my cabin baggage into a 1000 Won locker. Not bad at all considering a single subway trip cost 1200 won!
2) buy your tickets to Jinhae.You can either buy from the counters or like me, purchase straight from the automated ticket booths. Purchasing from the automated booths require payment with a credit card so make sure your card is enabled for overseas use. The automated booths comes with English option so don't worry about it at all. It took me less than 2 minutes to get my ticket.
The automated booth screen entirely in english!
The ticket doesn't show the time so you're free to jump onto the bus whenever you want.
3) Queue at Platform 16-17Now proceed to queue at Platform 16 –17 for the bus. The bus journey is around 1 hours 10 minutes and cost 5100 Won. The bus are always full but no worries because the bus frequency is very high. I reached and bought my tickets around 10:50 am and this is the queue for it at 10:51am.
Still queuing at 11:03am but as you can tell, it moves very fast.
And by 11:14am, I was seated on the bus.
In short, the queuing took roughly 23 minutes. Which isn't bad at all considering this is peak season.
I couldn't understand the Korean announcement by the Bus driver so I alighted at the terminal stop which is Jinhae Bus Terminal. This is also where I take my bus back to Busan. I believe the bus will go past the scenic attractions such as YeojwaCheon before reaching the terminal station so I guess you can alight directly at the stream If you understand Korean. Best you prepare a picture or name of the place in Hangul and show the bus driver before you alight so he can tell you when to alight.
The entire city of Jinhae was like a Cherry Blossom heaven! Every corner, every street was filled with rows after rows of Cherry Blossom trees! It was so beautiful! Thank God for letting me be there at such a good bloom day! Big, fluffy and happy looking blossoms makes me happy too >w<!
I walked past the Jinhae Museum of Changwon first and decided to take a trip up. Cherry blosoms all around the building!
Here is the view from the Top floor.
You would be happy to know that the museum is free entrance and displays exhibits of changwon's history.
The only downside is it takes a lot of stairs to reach. But it's ok, because cherry blossoms makes everything better!!! *Cherry blossom fanatic>///< *
The festival was also a food galore as rows after rows of street vendors lined around. I wasn't sure what to buy so I only got myself a barley drink for 3000 won. There was also a stage performance with its very supportive audience.
The festival seemed to extend from the city centre all the way to the stream. There were even tents/ booths set up for lost children and first aid. There was a big wall with the locality map printed on it, and in front of it was a hardworking staff giving directions to tavellers. The super friendly staff gave me some directions in English though I had a little difficulty understanding but oh well, I'll just start walking. I'll get there some how.
Saw an Ahjuma preparing cabbages, probably to make Kimchis, along the way!
I arrived at YeojwaCheon around 2:12pm. I definitely took too long by stopping to snap pictures every other minute but I have arrived!
There was SO MUCH people but I managed to snap a few nice shots. The place was filled with cherry blossoms and they were in full bloom! Praise the Lord!
The installations of umbrellas and LED bicycles added a really nice touch to the place. They make the stream so much more photogenic. I'll just let the photos do the talking.
I know the past few photos looks repeative but… they are (mostly) not the same umbrellas! It's just a very long stream xDD
One thing that pisses me off greatly was the amount of people picking and hurting the cherry blossom trees all because they want a piece of it for themselves. Please don't do that! It might seemed like a small action but it really shows your lack of graciousness. Once you pluck the flowers off, they die and the person after you will not get the chance to appreciate their beauty . Especially in such a popular attraction like JInhae where people travel all the way to see these bloom. In short, if it doesn't belong to you, don't take it!
And along the stream, was streams (pun intended lol) of street vendor selling a variety of products.
Saw a guy carrying a tiny corgi puppy! It was so cute!
And look what I found among the vendors!
It's a raindrop cake! Otherwise known also as Mizu Shingen Mochi!
It was selling for 3000 Won. And how does it taste? Sweet, watery and squishy. I think the mochi itself doesn't have much taste, the taste comes from the syrup and kinako powder (soyabean powder).
For the walk back, I decided to walk along the stream.
The sun is setting.
The stream of Cherry Blossoms went on for a long distance. Since I was running short of time, I stopped midway when the street vendors ended and headed to Jinhae Train station. I knew I was supposed to get a bus from the bus stop opposite the Jinhae Train Station but I wasn't sure where the bus stop is and which bus to take to Gyeonghwa Station so I asked one of the traffic police on duty. Shameless tourist alert here hehehe!
I took Bus 307 to GyeongHwa station and as you can tell from the photo, it was packed! I alighted when the Caucasian travellers behind me alighted hehee *sly look*. And I knew they were going GyeongHwa because they asked a korean passenger where GyeongHwa is wahaha. I know right, travelling with myself is so scary because half the time, I'm just going by faith. But God is on my side so I am victorious Ehehhehehee. Also the reason why I can't travel with other people. I would drive them crazy and they would drive me crazy LOL.
I can't remember how long the journey was but from the timestamp of my photographs , it was maybe close to 30 minutes due in part to the peak traffic. Yeah, it was quite a distance away.
The GyeongHwa Train station was just across the street from the bus stop. If in doubt, just follow the crowd.
The place was really beautiful too, with a long stretch of cherry blossom trees surrounding the train tracks. Unfortunately for me, I came a little late both in date and time. I only got a few pictures before it went dark.
There are also musicians and magicians busking!
If you're hungry, don't worry because there are lots of street vendors. The worm like snack piped my curiosity but I didn't want to risk it so no, I didn't try it =( I got a fried fishcake on stick instead, it was ok. After a bit more strolling, I decided to take a bus back to the Bus Terminal.
What Bus did I take? I honestly cannot remember. It was most probably 307 from the Bus stop on the side of GyeongHwa Train Station (opposite from the bus stop I alighted). I basically went up, asked the bus driver if this bus goes to the Bus Terminal in slow English, he answered me in Korean and I comprehend via his body language. Yup, this is how I travel. I think I even fell asleep along the way. I alighted when the kind Bus driver bellowed something and gave me an eye contact.
I alighted to a pitch dark place along with a few other passenger. I googled the Bus terminal and followed the 3 guys walking in front of me. Thank goodness I pinned the Bus Terminal's location on Google Map when i arrived this afternoon. That made this walk so much less scary.
The Bus terminal looks big on the outside but the actual waiting area is pretty small. I quickly bought my tickets from the Automated machine because I was too lazy to talk to a staff over the counter.
There was a long queue back to Busan but because I was traveling solo, I got to cut the queue when the staffs announced that there is one seat left and nobody claimed it. Everyone came as either a pair or a group LOL.
Along the bus ride back, the bus driver would stop at some bus stops to let people get on. People would get on and then decide to alight after a few more stops. I can only guess they're not keen on standing for an hour haha. 3 men smelling of alcohol also boarded the bus in one of the stops, making a big ruckus. But the bus driver adamantly commanded them to get off and after much persistence from the driver, they eventually did. I wish I understood everything that happened ! Such drama haha!
This marks the end of my day trip to Jinhae! Hope you guys enjoyed the photographs and travel journal! Took me a lot of time to get everything together hehe!
