Q: Passing additional iteration-dependent inputs to ode45 I'm trying to solve differential equation using the ode45 function. Consider the following code,
[t1,X2] = ode45(@(t,x)fun(t,x,C1,C2,C3,C4),t0,X01);

where parameters C1, C2, C3 and C4 are column vectors, which should be available to the function that ode45 is referring to (fun.m). I want the values to change after every iteration, so for example, at the beginning the entry of C1 I want in is C1(1), in the next iteration it's C1(2), etc.
How can I implement that?

A: You may have noticed that the official docs are not too helpful in this scenario (as they pretty much force you to use global variables - which is doable, but discouraged). Instead, I'll show you how this can be done with classes and function handles. Consider the following:
classdef SimpleQueue < handle
  %SIMPLEQUEUE A simple FIFO data structure.

  properties (Access = private)
    data
    position
  end

  methods (Access = public)
    function obj = SimpleQueue(inputData)
      %SIMPLEQUEUE Construct an instance of this class
      obj.data = inputData;
      rewind(obj);
    end % constructor

    function out = pop(obj, howMany)
      %POP return the next howMany elements.
      if nargin < 2
        howMany = 1; % default amount of values to return
      end
      finalPosition = obj.position + howMany;
      if finalPosition > numel(obj.data)
        error('Too many elements requested!');
      end
      out = obj.data(obj.position + 1 : obj.position + howMany);
      obj.position = finalPosition;
    end % pop

    function [] = rewind(obj)
      %REWIND restarts the element tracking
      % Subsequent calls to pop() shall return elements from the beginning.
      obj.position = 0;
    end % rewind
  end % methods
end % classdef

How to use this? Simple:
C1q = SimpleQueue(C1);
C2q = SimpleQueue(C2);
C3q = SimpleQueue(C3);
C4q = SimpleQueue(C4);

[t1,X2] = ode45(@(t,x)fun(t,x,@C1q.pop,@C2q.pop,@C3q.pop,@C4q.pop),t0,X01);

As you can see, inside fun we use C1q() instead of C1.

U&lc Volume 17 - Questions & typefaces for the next decade
Allan Haley in U&lc on February 28, 2012
The four issues of U&lc, Volume Seventeen, were published in 1990; a year that presented graphic designers with unanswered questions about the future of typographic communication – and one that marked ITC's twentieth anniversary. Among a great crop of articles on everything from Japanese kites to the Vigeland Sculpture Park, two new typeface families were announced in Volume Seventeen and the lives of a pair typographers that changed the course of British typographic history were explored.
In Volume Seventeen, Number Three, U&lc approached a wide range of creative specialist with the question, "Can fine typography exist in the 90's?" The introduction to the article sets the stage for their answers. "The question is not so easily answered. From different perspectives the response can be a resounding "yes," or a qualified "no." Electronic typesetting and type designed for a computer and on a compute have made type lovers anxious. Yet other fastidious and committed type users have found working with type in this electronic age a compelling challenge." The answers may surprise you.
ITC celebrated its twentieth anniversary in U&lc Volume Seventeen, Number Four. However, rather than provide a history of the company or its accomplishments, the six-page "tribute" featured the reflections of 20 luminary designers (from Art Chantry to Hermann Zapf) on images which influenced or inspired them over the previous two decades.
The ITC Quay Sans™ design was announced in the pages of Volume Seventeen – as was the ITC Officina™ family. Even thought the goal for the latter was to "create a small family of type ideally suited to the tasks of office correspondence and business documentation," ITC Officina went on to become a stable for all manner of graphic communication.
The QuarkXPress™ 3.0 software for IBM computers running Microsoft Windows® 3.0 or OS/2® was also announced in the pages of Volume Seventeen – as was the availability of the now ubiquitous PowerPoint® application.

The Steam museum has a comprehensive collection of steam related exhibits including two Fowler traction engines, an 8hp and a 5hp.
The 8hp engine was imported from South Africa about 1902 after service in Boer War. It spent its working life around the Nelson back country. In 1983 it was donated to Pigeon Valley by Mr and Mrs Chambers. It is used on Steam Up days to tow a trailer giving rides, and occasionally powers a chaffcutter and a hay baler. The 5hp is currently undergoing restoration.
A stationary boiler is used to supply steam to working exhibits, some of which were used in Nelson industries. Static displays include 'Big Betsy', a 28hp portable Marshall steam engine believed to be the biggest and only one in NZ. Also on show is an 82hp Scotch Marine boiler used on the Wellington wharf by BP to drive pumps to refuel ships.
Many more steam related items are awaiting restoration, with those that are too far gone being tided up for display. Also in the collection are a number of tractors, old diesel engines and bush locomotives as well as a variety of old hand tools.
The Steam Museum has a Steam Up day on the 1st Sunday in the month (except mid winter). On Steam Up days free rides are given on the trailer pulled by the traction engine and on the bush tramway.
Special Steam days can be arranged for interested groups and tours.

Q: Matrix exponential in the time propagation by the free Dirac equation I am trying to evaluate
$$\exp(-ic \alpha pt /\hslash - i\beta mc^2t/\hslash),$$
where
$$ \alpha =
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix},
\quad \beta =
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & -1
\end{pmatrix}.
$$
The most basic property of these matrices is, besides $\beta$ being diagonal, is $\alpha^2 = \beta^2 = \mathbb{I}_4$. We also have $\alpha \beta + \beta \alpha = 0$.
This matrix exponential arises in the study of time propagation by the 1-D free Dirac equation in relativistic quantum mechanics, which reads
$$ i\hslash \partial_t \psi(p,t) = (c\alpha p + \beta mc^2) \psi(p,0),$$
where $\psi$ denotes the spinor in momentum space. This leads to the matrix exponential given above such that
$$\psi(p,t) = \exp(-ic \alpha pt /\hslash - i\beta mc^2t/\hslash) \psi(p,0).$$
In the appendix of a publication [1], the solution is directly given by (with $\hslash = 1$)
$$\left( \mathbb{I}_4 cos(Et) - i\frac{c\alpha p + \beta mc^2}{E} sin(Et)\right), \quad E = \sqrt{p^2c^2 + m^2 c^4},$$
which looks fairly simple, and is reminiscent of Euler's formula. However, I was still not able to derive the solution with the few methods I know. For instance, the case $X = A + N$ ,where $A$ is diagonal, $N$ is nilpotent and $AN = NA$ does not apply here because of $\alpha$, which is not nilpotent, and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ do not commute, either.
Can you see it at a glance?
[1] : see equations B.3 and C.3 on pages 39 and 41 in https://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4650 .

A: Taking $a=-cpt/\hbar$ and $b=-mc^2t/\hbar$ for convenience, note that $\exp(ia\alpha+ib\beta)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}(ia\alpha+ib\beta)^n$. But from the fact that $\alpha^2=\beta^2$ is the identity, and $\alpha\beta+\beta\alpha=0$, we have that $(ia\alpha+ib\beta)^{2k}=(-1)^k(a^2+b^2)^k I$ (where $I$ is the identity matrix), and $(ia\alpha+ib\beta)^{2k+1}=(-1)^k i(a^2+b^2)^k(a\alpha+b\beta)$. So, gathering together the even terms yields: $\cosh(\sqrt{-a^2-b^2})I$ and gathering together the odd terms yields: $\frac{i\sinh(\sqrt{-a^2-b^2})}{\sqrt{-a^2-b^2}}(a\alpha+b\beta)$. Note that $a$ and $b$ are real, so we can pull a factor of $i$ from each square root. Recalling that $\cosh(ix)=\cos(x)$ and $\sinh(ix)=i\sin(x)$ and adding the two pieces together then yields the result.


(PhysOrg.com) -- Extremely hydrophobic materials cause water to roll right off objects that have been coated with them. Up to now, it was assumed that aircraft or wind turbines coated in such a way did not ice up as easily. However, researchers from ETH Zurich have now shown that, under certain conditions, the surface materials do not influence ice formation.
Since the onset of winter in the Swiss Alps, we have seen some impressive images: iced-up cables on cable cars, which have to be de-iced in breathtaking operations at dizzying heights; and snowed-in weather stations, the measuring equipment and rails of which are covered in bizarre ice sculptures. Such mighty ice crystallisations can also form on aircraft and compromise air safety. The surfaces of aircraft or even wind turbines can thus be given special, usually rough coatings that are extremely water-resistant (superhydrophobic) and therefore should also counteract ice formation.
Lotus flower principle against ice formation?
Such a coating often consists of tiny particles that, on the one hand, form a layer with a roughness corresponding to the particle size and, on the other hand, already have a rough surface themselves. In other words, superhydrophobic coatings often feature more than one roughness sizes. Air cushions form in the tiny pits of these rough surfaces, meaning that the water droplet has a minimal surface contact. The water droplet so-called contact angle to the underlying surface is thus as large as possible and causes water droplets to simply roll off. The principle works in a similar way to lotus flower leaves.
Ice crystals do not necessarily form at the temperature of zero degree Celsius. Under certain conditions pure distilled water can remain liquid up to temperatures as low as minus forty degrees. Surfaces can influence the formation of crystallisation nuclei, which then form underneath on the contact surface and permeate the entire water droplet very rapidly. Consequently, up to now it was assumed that a superhydrophobic surface, which only touches a water drop minimally, delays ice formation for as long as possible or even prevents it.
Three years ago, researchers from ETH Zurich were asked by the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) to investigate the issue more closely. For their study, the team of scientists headed by Dimos Poulikakos, professor of Thermodynamics in the the Institute of Energy Technology at ETH Zurich, studied "supercooled" water droplets on four different kinds of surfaces with various hydrophobic properties. They exposed the test set-up to an environment with an atmospheric humidity form 30 to 100 percent and a constant temperature of minus fifteen degrees Celsius. The classical "heterogeneous" freezing of the supercooled liquid was indeed observed without an airstream; in other words, the droplet contact with the surface initiated ice nucleation, and a porous ice skeleton that still contained water pockets was rapidly generated (within thirty milliseconds). These water pockets remain intact for a short time as heat is also released during the formation of ice. In a second phase, which at twenty seconds takes almost a thousand times longer than the "skeleton formation" phase, the water droplet ultimately freezes completely.
However, when the researchers conducted the experiment with a stream of air flowing through the test set-up at a constant temperature of minus fifteen degrees, the ice-formation process was completely different: despite the contact of the water drop with the surface, the first phase of the freezing process starts from the free surface of the water droplet and is already complete within eighteen milliseconds. The slower second phase follows, during which the skeleton freezes completely from the bottom. The researchers conclude that environmental influences can drastically affect the formation of ice on superhydrophobic materials.
However, if the humidity in the experiment is increased to a point where almost no more evaporation can take place, the heterogeneous nucleation of the ice crystals takes place again. The industry needs to be aware of these results, which stem directly from basic thermodynamics research and have now been published in Nature Communications, says Poulikakos. However, hydrophobic surfaces remain important as they allow water to run off. If possible, Poulikakos suggests, one could try to construct superhydrophobic surfaces that are not as rough. This is easier said than done, however, as there would then be fewer of the air pockets needed for a superhydrophobic surface.
The purpose of chemtrails was to introduce bizarre substances into the air for weather control. But once there, they precipitate out. The unnatural materials are why, among other things, fground water out of faucets doesn't always rotate counterclockwise going down a drain the way it used to. Localized die offs of plants is due to localized build ups of this poison affecting parets of plants through their rots but not others. This material is mechanically different from water. The "snow" storm near Halloween in New Jersey had trees breaking with the weight. New World Order shills said it was the weight of snow and leaves. Leaves don't weigh that much, and trees can stand leaves, heavy winds and deluge rain! The "snow" was abnormally dense. And what's coating hydrophobic materials is not ice but a frozen form of these unnatural chemicals.
This has nothing to do with chemtrails, moron. Besides that, what you claim are chemtrails are trails of condensed water from the cooling exhaust air. Kindly gtfo with your nonsense.

Everything about that production encapsulates my directing choices and style, wrapped in complete ignorance, unflappable resolve and blind hubris.

Senior year is moving fast! Make sure you're on track with the college application process by reviewing our October advice for seniors.
Request any outstanding recommendations. If you've been on the fence about which teachers will recommend you, make a point of figuring it out soon! Remember, you want to have 2 teachers from core academic subject areas (math, science, humanities, social science, foreign language) who can write you a positive and interesting recommendation. If you're having trouble deciding who to ask, talk to your college counselor about it, and s/he can help you.
Register for any remaining SAT, ACT, or SAT Subject Tests (if needed). At this point, you may be done with all of your standardized testing. If so – great! However, if you need to put some finishing touches on your testing, there's still time to get in those final exams. You can still register for the November and December SAT and SAT Subject Tests, and the December ACT.
Familiarize yourself with any early application deadlines. Does your top choice school have an Early Action or Early Decision deadline? Are you applying to any schools with Rolling Admission or any state schools with early deadlines? Be sure to review the deadlines for all of the colleges on your list, particularly your top choices. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to apply early because you weren't thorough in your research.
Keep working on your personal statement and supplemental essays. If you haven't already finished your personal statement, make that a priority. If you have finished your main application essay, it's time to turn your attention to the supplemental essays and to make sure you move through those essays both thoughtfully and efficiently. Map out how many you'll need to write and try to set target dates for each essay's completion – that way, you're not racing against the clock at the last minute.
Keep working on your Common Application and other application forms. The actual application forms themselves can be the least exciting part of the college application process. However, the information on your application form is considered just as carefully as your essays, so it's important to be thorough and accurate. You don't want to leave this to the last minute!
October is a busy time of year, with college application deadlines getting closer and schoolwork to juggle, as well. The good news is that with a little foresight and planning, the next few months don't have to be super stressful.

Get mind-blasted by the twirling interactive art of Iridescent Configurations
by Jess Joho
@liongirl528
Your mind probably exploded the first time you discovered the iTunes visualizer. Hopefully, you were alone, unsuspecting, and casually perusing your library on an uneventful night. Then, one accidental keyboard press later—BOOM. There you are, with a Pink Floyd light show on command at the tips of your fingers, allowing you to make the lights implode, divide, rejoin—all with the flick of your wrist.
According to creator Oliver Garcia-Borg, Iridescent Configuration was "designed to give an unusual sense of agency," allowing players to influence the strange behaviors of eight different "experiments in motion, interaction, colors, shapes, and nonsense." he interactions feel like vignettes into artistic control. Each configuration (which can be shifted with the number buttons on your keyboard) drops you into a scene with varying degrees of interactivity, where you can twirl and twist iconographic symbols of modern art. Most of the materials are vibrant, yet sparse, each with its own version of geometric simplicity.
vignettes into artistic control
Though the itch.io download page describes Iridescent Configuration as, not a game, but a "clusterfuck," the variations in agency seem part of a larger question on how much control a user needs for a sense of play. Of course, having complete control over a beautiful light show or an iridescent shape feels naturally enticing. One of the scenes even gives you swarm-like control over a bunch of blue paint blobs, their sudden turns appearing like an attack formation you direct. But there's something to be said for the more subtly swayed configurations, too, like number six, which spins like a great big sun getting pushed and pulled ever so slightly by a gravitational pull.
Not to mention that its hard to think of these configurations as "clusterfucks" (again, creator's description) since each stands very much independent of the others. Though most of the configurations sustain that modern art theme, the final one left me scratching my head before finally emitting a soft and revelatory "ohhhhh."
After controlling the abstract visuals of every other configuration, the last one brings you to a very familiar scene, with a tree and a bunch of birds perching on it. Eventually, the birds start dying off, and there's nothing you can do about it. One by one, they up and expire, falling from the tree and rolling away off-screen. It's funny, but also makes you feel kind of helpless to do anything. After the power trips of the other configuration, it leaves a more level-headed impression than any session with an iTunes visualizer might.
You can play Iridescent Configuration for free on PC, Mac, and Linux. Also check out the creator's other work, Oliver Garcia-Borg, on his website.

So if you haven't noticed, homemade coasters are all the rage right now. I've been inspired by a few different examples from Attic Lace, The Cottage Mama and Making Mondays blogs. I decided to make my own coasters out of a leftover calendar from one of my coworkers.
This is my first time writing a full-blown tutorial, so I'm a little nervous about it. Let me know if I skip steps or don't make any sense.
Also, I want to apologize ahead of time for not having artsty-I'm-a-blogger photos for this. The lighting was bad and I don't have a fancy camera.
A design for the surface of your coaster — calendars, photos, scrapbook paper, whatever you want.
Let's get started! Do you have all your supplies lined up? Once you do, grab your scissors, pencil and ruler.
Measure, cut and draw a 3.75 x 3.75 inch square on a piece of scrap paper. This will be your pattern for the four coasters.
Use the 3.75×3.75 in. pattern to trace and cut out squares on your calendar/scrapbook paper/photos for the surface of your coasters. Repeat three more times so you have four squares total.
Now you'll want to get your tile out. I wiped mine down with a wet rag just to make sure there wasn't any dust or gunk on the surface.
Place the tiles on a piece of newspaper so you don't get globs all over your table (unless your an angel with a paint brush, I'm not). Brush one coat of Mod Podge over the surface of the clean ceramic tile.
I didn't photograph this next part but if you keep reading /looking at photos it should make sense: Take your calendar cut-out and place it on the tile over the wet Mod Podge. Don't rush! Smooth out the paper so there aren't any bubbles or wrinkles.
Paint one coat of Mod Podge over the surface of the paper and tile. Make sure you don't have excessive clumps of Mod Podge on the rims of the tile. Try to make this coat as smooth as possible. Fast forward a little bit: Repeat these steps three more times so you have a total of four tiles drying.
While your tiles are drying, you'll want to measure and cut out a 3×3 inch square of craft felt. This will be the backing of your coasters. Repeat this step three times so you have a total of four 3×3 inch felt squares.
Once your tiles are dry, whip out your hot glue gun. Glue one felt square to the back of each tile. And again, repeat three more times so all four of your tiles are complete.
Tadaaaa! You have new coasters. Impressive, right?
NOTE: I just want to give you a head up. I've used these coasters all week and I've noticed that my coffee mugs are sticking to the surface. I'm wondering if the Mod Podge isn't glossy enough to be the top coat. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Its a perfect tutorial and the photos are awesome.
I feel like I can do this, because you made it look so easy.
Hey! Thank you. I'm glad it made sense! I'm still new to this whole blogging thing.

Takata Class Action Lawsuit Filed
blog home Auto Defects Takata Class Action Lawsuit Filed
By Brian Chase on March 1, 2017 - 2 comments
Honda Recalls 1.6 Million Vehicles for Defective Takata Airbags
A class-action lawsuit representing victims of defective Takata airbags asserted that at least four automakers knew for years that the airbags were dangerous, but covered it up to save on costs. According to an article in The New York Times, a criminal probe led by the Justice Department has thus far painted automakers as unsuspecting victims defrauded by a supplier that manipulated safety data in order to conceal a deadly defect. So far, the faulty Takata airbag inflators have been linked to 11 fatalities and more than 100 injuries just in the United States.
Automakers Were Complicit
These fresh allegations have been made against Ford, Honda, Nissan and Toyota as part of a class-action lawsuit filed in Florida. The lawsuit points to a deeper involvement by automakers that used Takata's faulty airbags for many years. Honda has already denied these new allegations. The other automakers have remained quiet saying they would "respond through legal channels."
This class-action lawsuit came hours before Takata pleaded guilty Monday under a deal announced last month. The airbag manufacturer pleaded guilty to wire fraud for providing false data, which is rare for businesses accused of wrongdoing. Last month, federal prosecutors also said they had charged three Takata executives with fabricating test data and fined the company $1 billion.
The class-action lawsuit is a response to a court document filed by automakers last week stating that Takata alone is responsible. Plaintiffs argue that automakers knew much more than they're letting on and that they were in fact accomplices in the cover-up. Takata has only set up a total of $125 million for victims.
Extent of the Cover-Up
The filing by the plaintiffs as part of the lawsuit shows emails and memos from Honda, which show that in 1999 the automaker was intimately involved in developing a problematic propellant used in Takata's airbag. When the airbag deployed, the inflators broke apart expelling shards of metal into the passenger compartment. Honda's documents show the automaker chose Takata's airbags because they were cheap. The filing also cites internal documents from Ford, Nissan and Toyota indicating that cost was a factor in their decision to go with Takata airbags.
As auto product liability attorneys we attempt each time to shine the light on automakers who try to cover up defects. It happens more often than you know. And the motive is almost always to save on costs. That, to us, is unacceptable. It is never okay to put profits before people.

Hello I have an affected vehicle and I'm on the list for a replacement. There hasn't been any injuries yet, but I'm constantly concerned, especially when my kids are in the car. I use my car as little as possible, which makes work as a Realtor impossible.
Do I have any recourse?

Hi Georgina
Probably not. Your inquiry raises a difficult issue: can I recover damages for emotional distress caused by worry and concern, and for loss of income, because of an allegedly defective product when I haven't suffered a bodily injury? Usually, in California, the answer to this question is "No". In addition, California law requires an injured person to take steps to mitigate her damages – to use the resources available to her to take reasonable steps to minimize her loss. For your situation, you could use or arrange for other transportation for your kids, to drive another car or borrow or rent a car and maintain your ability to work. A more complete and specific answer to your inquiry depends on the evaluation of the facts of your situation and applying California law which would occur with a consultation with an attorney.

Our experience in analogue and digital television systems is unequalled.
An Internet Protocol TV system offers a complete multi-channel video line-up as well as on-demand programming. IPTV technology promises to make more content available because of the limitless nature of the switched digital video architecture.
The extensible user environment of IPTV increases the interactive nature of television and will allow applications to be run over multiple end-user devices, or over a single service delivery network. IPTV also capitalises on the two-way nature of the IP network, enabling unprecedented interaction among subscribers, content providers and service providers.
With a robust service delivery network, the integration and management of new services becomes simpler, reducing time to market and the cost of launching that new service. This provides marketing opportunities to use new applications to gain or keep market share and generate added revenue.
Since IPTV is enabled by the availability of network technology, the network used to deploy IPTV is important. The IP based platform offers significant advantages; including the ability to integrate television with other IP based services with high-speed internet access and VOIP.
A switched IP network also allows for the delivery of significantly more content and functionality. In a typical TV or satellite network, using broadcast video technology, all the content constantly flows downstream to each customer and the customer switches the content at the set-top box. The customer can select from as many choices as the cable or satellite company can stuff into the pipe flowing into the home.
A switched IP network works differently. Content remains in the network, and only the content the customer selects is sent into the customer's room. That frees up the bandwidth and the customer's choice is not limited by the size of the pipe into the home.

Disclaimer–Would you pay attention to economic prognostications from someone who'd take a selfie in this shirt?
Oil prices have fallen off a cliff in recent weeks, declining some 45%. It has been a good time for motorists–and for the peak oil denialists to go forward with their favorite bromide, i.e., that we have found enough unconventional fossil fuel to keep the party going. But as I've posted before here, unconventional oil is expensive–depending on who you ask, oil needs to be selling at $95 a barrel to keep the tar sands profitable. And if the tar sands and shale and fracking sites are unprofitable enough, the junk bonds that support them will go belly up. Per this bit from the Wall Street Journal, some 18% of high-yield junk bonds are in energy companies, most of them in unconventional oil extraction. According to Tarek Hamid, a high-yield energy analyst at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co, upwards of 40% of those could default if the price of oil stabilizes at $65 a barrel. As I write this, oil is edging toward $49 a barrel. Continued cheap oil has the potential to tank the stock market. Moreover, the appearance of cheap oil means that demand is still down. Abundant oil at this stage of the depletion game means the economy is heading into the tank–as Matt Simmons stated, you cannot have economic growth without growing energy use*.
not a real economic snapshot–a composite drawing with lots of "Photoshopping".
Some of the numbers mentioned in the Democrat poster above are not pertinent as to whether the economy is growing. Most of the non-energy sector growth in the stock market can be attributed to company buy-backs of their own stock. The Unemployment rate has been gamed (actually it has been gamed for a couple decades). You might even look at John Williams' site Shadowstats for his take on what real unemployment would be if we counted it as we did back in the Jimmy Carter years. Ask any of these men if employment is back. The 2008 crash created huge structural unemployment, and the vast majority of jobs that have come back are in low-wage positions. Economist and former Clinton cabinet member Robert Reich argues that if we were truly in a recovery mode, wages would be increasing by 3-4%. Instead, wages continue to be flat relative to that economic growth bromide.
As for GDP growth, Paul Craig Roberts is someone I've written about before, a former Reagan Treasury official who rode off the Repub reservation over off-shoring and the massive Bush tax cuts and the war. When the Obama administration broke the news that the GDP grew by 5% in the third quarter, he poked at the numbers here. He found that most of the growth was as a result of the ACA/Obamacare rollout and increased healthcare expenditures. And that was one of the few growth sectors for the economy: Real GDP growth of 5% in the third quarter is inconsistent with the sharp fall in key industrial commodity prices. It is not only oil (down 47%) but iron ore prices (down 49%), natural gas (down 30%), copper (down 15%). Pam and Russ Martens show that the fall in the producer price index for industrial commodities in 2014 is sharper than in 2008, the year of the crash. Needless to say, Roberts is predicting hard times ahead.
One more fly in the 'recovery' ointment. Japan is in recession. Did you know that? Analysts are blaming the two quarters of negative growth on introduction of a new sales tax, thought I would suspect there's a connection to the money-sucking problems at Fukushima. Japan is the world's third largest economy, and a major purchaser of US Treasury bonds. It's hard to see how one can talk about 'recovery' when the Japanese economy is flat on its back. And Japan is a geriatric society–one in four nationals are retirees. Who's going to do the work to support all those folks?
(Understand that I'm not lambasting Obama here. He has played a bad hand the way his advisers told him to play it, and maybe things would be different if the GOP had decided that in a time of national economic crisis, both sides should work together. The problem I have is that our economy does not need a Jiminy Cricket cheerleader. We need a Churchillian figure willing to give us the bad news. All the celebration and backslapping around our supposed economic 'recovery' is not changing the fact that we're in bad shape and things are getting worse).
What does it mean? Remember, I am the simple artist—I do not claim to be an economist or climatologist. There have been numerous analysts who've been predicting economic Armageddon since 2009. This is everyone from Peter Schiff to Gerald Celente, James Howard Kunstler, and almost anyone who has Alex Jones on speed-dial. The record of some of these pundits is spotty–someone remarked that one of them had 'predicted seven of the last two recessions'. That said, some of the people doing the prognosticating (including the late Michael C. Ruppert and Guy McPherson) can lay out the case for something other than 'market fundamentals' being out of whack. James Howard Kunstler has written how economic collapse is fed by the churning of fossil fuel markets. And our economic problems compounded by failure of human habitat (because droughts in California and Texas agricultural land won't go away). Guy McPherson talks about it at length here (cut to the chase by advancing to 2:30 if you wish).
The point is that economic collapse and climate collapse are linked. We've been using fiat currency and casino games on Wall Street to prop up our economy for the better part of a decade. The fiat currency has caused us to buy up real things with ersatz valued paper. The status quo is killing our planet.
* Update 4/2/2015: Starting a few weeks ago, there were a number of articles released by economic forecasting agencies (who should know better) postulating that we had finally achieved economic growth without increased energy use. But the dirty little secret is that the bulk of economic 'growth' we're experiencing has nothing to do with real economic progress. It's about the way the financial sector is creating products and shifting money to help balance sheets. If Chase is driving up its own stock price by buying back its own stock, that isn't helping the economy in any way. THAT'S how you have economic 'growth' without using more energy. And it's a scam to pretend it's real growth.


Located in Fatehpur Sikri, the Marium-uz-Zamani Palace was the home of Akbar's wife, Mariam. The palace is renowned for its elaborate and indulgent interiors, for which Akbar is believed to have hired the best workers in India to construct. Mariam-uz-Zamani's palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens and has rich carvings and floral motifs on the interior and exterior, which adds to its charm. Since Marium-uz-Zamani was a Hindu by birth and a devotee of Lord Krishna, her palace is also adorned with paintings of Lord Krishna.

Jacqueline Lopour currently works as a Research Associate at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, where—among other duties— she researches international security challenges, including terrorism. Previously, she spent 10 years at the CIA where she performed analysis on security issues, with a focus on counter terrorism in South Asia and the Middle East. During this time, she took a rotation to the National Counter terrorism Center, where she followed various terrorist groups in Syria.
Jacqueline is currently working toward an MA in Political Science at the University of Waterloo. Her thesis research looks at female members, fighters, and suicide bombers in Sunni terrorist groups. In particular, she's looking at what motivates women to engage in combat and/or suicide operations, as well as what prompts terrorist groups' senior leadership to begin employing women in these roles. Ultimately, she plans to apply this research to the situation in Syria and Iraq, looking at whether women will begin participating more directly in ISIS combat/suicide operations.

Q: Passing dynamic Variable IN WHERE statement IN SQL I have a WHERE statement where a DateOfService must be bookended between date ranges that could change.  Because of this, I build an IF statement to trap the conditions and build the BETWEEN part of the statement.
Here is a Sample:

IF ISNULL(@TargetStartDate, 'N') = 'N'
    BEGIN
        SET @SubWhere = ' ad.EnrolledDate AND s.DateOfService'
    END ELSE BEGIN
        SET @SubWhere = ' @targetStartDate AND  @TargetEndDate'
    END

When I incorporate into WHERE clause there is no visible error. The error appears on the execution of the ALTER PROC
Here is the snippet from the WHERE clause:

AND s.DateOfService BETWEEN CAST(@SubWhere AS VARCHAR(150))

Any insight as to how to get this to work error free are much appreciated!

Trump immigration head Ken Cuccinelli proposes this change to the Statue of Liberty poem
BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images
Acting Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli is a poetry revisionist, apparently.
In an interview on Tuesday morning with NPR's Morning Edition, Cuccinelli spoke with host Rachel Martin about a new Trump administration rule — "The Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds" policy — that could make it more difficult for immigrants to obtain a green card or U.S. citizenship if they are deemed likely to become reliant on government benefits.
Cuccineli made the case that it's not too much to ask for immigrants coming into the United States to not rely on the government for government assistance. He said that it's a longstanding tradition in the U.S. that people who can "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" are welcome, but that "no one has the right to be an American" if they aren't born in the country. He called it a privilege instead.
Martin asked if the words from Emma Lazarus' poem The New Colossus, which are engraved on a plaque on the Statue of Liberty, are also "part of the American ethos." Cuccinelli said they "certainly" are, but he tweaked them. "'Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge," he replied.
That section of the poem actually reads "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." There is no mention of government assistance on the plaque. Listen to the interview at NPR. Tim O'Donnell

Catholic Bibles: HarperOne NABRE Now Available!
The hardcover edition of the NABRE from HarperOne is now available. You can even get a look inside on the Amazon.com site here. From what I have seen so far, it looks quite good. While I don't have a copy yet to review, the comments from this customer on Amazon.com may be of some help. If you want the imitation leather or Kindle edition, you will have to wait until May. If anyone happens to get a copy before me and would like to do a guest review, just send me an email.
A very helpful review. Thanks for directing us to it.
Unfortunately, this edition is printed in China. I just can't bring myself to buy a bible printed in China, given that country's persecution of Catholics.
Anonymous: I understand your concern. You might be interested to know (if you don;t already) that Fireside Publishers have a public statement that they will NOT have their bibles, etc.manufactured in China for the exact reason you state. This may be why their prices seem a bit higher but its nice to see morality override economics.

Nicolás Fernández de Moratín, född den 20 juli 1737 i Madrid, död den 11 maj 1780, var en spansk skald och skriftställare. Han var far till Leandro Fernández de Moratín.

Fernández de Moratín skrev komedin La petimetra (1762), tragedin Lucrecia och Desengaños al teatro español, tre uppsatser om brister och ihåligheter inom den gamla såväl som den dåtida spanska dramatiken, vilka framkallade många motskrifter. Följde så skaldestycket La Diana ó Arte de la caza och tragedin Hormesinda, som endast genom greve Arandas protektion kunde komma till uppförande, och trots alla intriger från litterärt och klerikalt håll hade stor framgång. Av övriga arbeten är att nämna tragedin Guzmán el Bueno (1777) och eposet Las naves de Cortés. Trött på de litterära motigheterna, ägnade sig Fernández de Moratín åt advokatyrket, men skrev därunder en del lyrik.

behalf of members by FHLB Dallas to facilitate business transactions with third parties.
Standby Letters of Credit from FHLB Dallas are rated AA+ and AAA by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively. Terms range from overnight up to 15 years. LOCs will not be issued in terms exceeding 15 years. The issued LOC will remain in effect until the stated expiration date, unless all parties including the beneficiary agree in writing to an earlier expiration date.
To apply, members should execute either a Standby Letter of Credit Application or a Custodial Letter of Credit Application, and a Security Agreement, outlining the terms and conditions of FHLB Dallas' issuance of LOCs. A separate application that identifies the beneficiary and purpose of the LOC, and other information required by the Bank must be submitted for each LOC issued by FHLB Dallas.
At a member's request, FHLB Dallas may issue LOCs that are automatically extended for a specific term. For LOCs not automatically renewed, a member may request a new LOC at maturity.
Standby and Custodial Letters of Credit, issued for the benefit of a single public unit depositor in an amount of $25 million or greater, may be issued by FHLB Dallas using the fluctuating balance option. This option allows the member to be charged a fee based on the average daily collateral utilization of the aggregate deposits of the Beneficiary that are collateralized by the Letter of Credit during the preceding quarter. Fees are debited from the member's main deposit account on the fifth business day following the end of the quarter. Members are required to submit a certification to FHLB Dallas no later than the third business day following the end of the quarter providing the average daily balance amount.
All Letters of Credit issued by the Bank will be secured by the pledge of, and creation of a security interest in, collateral as provided for in the Bank's current Member Products & Credit Policy. The principal amount of the Letter of Credit/Confirmation will be added to the members' outstanding advances for the purposes of calculating collateral requirements.
Generally, FHLB Dallas does not anticipate that a Standby Letter of Credit/Confirmation will be funded. However, if funding does occur, the member must reimburse FHLB Dallas on the same day by depositing immediately available funds in its deposit account at the Bank. The Bank may permit the member to finance its reimbursement obligation, in which case the funding becomes an advance that is rolled over daily. The advance may then be converted to an appropriate term and interest rate upon request by the member and agreement by the Bank. In addition, any required capital stock purchase for the advance will be calculated and sufficient collateral will be required at the time of funding.
Without FHLB Dallas' notice to the beneficiary, the Evergreen feature automatically renews the Letter of Credit through the final term.
The Advances Products Guide provides more details.

Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix 2017
Writen by Jason Lewis on Apr, 16 2017, 22:30 ♦ Category: Formula 1 ♦ No Responses
The Bahrain Grand Prix gave us the best race of the season so far, without the need for a damp track to spice things up. Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel claimed their second win of the season, some may say due to safety cars and penalties for their rivals, but I think that Ferrari had it under control on this day.
Vettel was immediately on the attack, driving around the outside of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton to move up to 2nd place while Valtteri Bottas led into the first corner. Max Verstappen made his customary launch to move up two places to 4th place, leapfrogging Red Bull team-mate Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen.
Nothing much happened for the next 11 laps until Ferrari pitted Vettel for fresh rubber on lap 11, which triggered Red Bull to pit Verstappen. Unfortunately for young Max, he had a brake failure on his out lap and ended up in the kitty litter. Meanwhile, Toro Rosso' Carlos Sainz and Williams' Lance Stroll had a catastrophic crash, Stroll turned in the turn 1 as Sainz was exiting the pits, which triggered a safety car.
Both Mercedes drivers stopped for tires under the safety car as did Ricciardo. Mercedes needed to stack their drivers given as they were running 1 – 2 on track, Hamilton attempted to slow Ricciardo on pit entry to create a gap to Bottas and paid the price, later receiving a 5-second penalty for unnecessarily slowing in the pitlane, which I believe to be justified, I'm sure the hoards of LH fans will vehemently disagree.
It all kicked off on the lap 17 restart; Hamilton immediately pounced on Ricciardo for 3rd place into turn 1 while Vettel moved into the lead at turn 4, displacing Bottas. Red Bull's Ricciardo slipped back to 6th place, losing out to Massa and Raikkonen due to not being able to warm his tires behind the safety car.
Hamilton chased down and passed team-mate Bottas within 10 laps to begin chasing down Vettel in earnest. After the second pitstop shake up, Hamilton found himself back behind Bottas again due to his 5-second time penalty which he served in his stop. Vettel also found himself behind his team-mate after his stop, however, both Vettel and Hamilton passed their respective team-mates within half dozen laps.
Hamilton closed the gap to Vettel by 1 – 1.5 seconds a lap but ran out of puff in the closing few laps allowing Vettel to extend the gap a little to take the chequered flag 6.6 seconds ahead of the Briton.
I have to admit that after qualifying I was not hopeful of a real race with Mercedes being almost 1/2 second faster in qualifying trim. Thankfully, Ferrari had much better race pace to take the challenge to Mercedes and in this case, beat the silver arrows. We can only hope that this continues throughout the season, I'd love to see Red Bull interject themselves into the mix as well, Daniel and Max are good enough drivers to challenge for victories if their machinery is a match for Ferrari and Mercedes.

Prosecutors: Collector used fake Heisman to secure loan
CHICAGO (AP) _ Federal prosecutors in Chicago have filed fraud charges against an Arkansas sports memorabilia collector, accusing him of defrauding investors by offering a phony Heisman Trophy as collateral for a $100,000 loan.
John Rogers of North Little Rock was charged with one count of wire fraud. According to court papers filed Friday, Rogers took a ceremonial Heisman Trophy that was awarded in 1960 to the emcee of the awards banquet and affixed a new nameplate, making it appear as if it had been given to the top college football player of the year.
The Chicago Tribune reports that Rogers' trophy purported to be from Oklahoma running back Billy Sims, who is one of the few Heisman winners to sell his trophy.
Rogers apologized for his actions Monday in a Facebook post.

Die Jungermanniopsida sind eine Klasse der Lebermoose. Die Jungermanniopsida werden in vier Unterklassen eingeteilt, jene der Jungermanniidae enthält beblätterte Vertreter (folios), die der anderen Unterklassen besitzen einen einfachen Thallus. Die Klasse ist mit über 4500 Arten ausgesprochen umfangreich.

Merkmale
Die Jungermanniales sind in Stämmchen und Blättchen gegliedert. Die Blättchen ohne Mittelrippe sitzen seitlich in ursprünglich drei Reihen. Bei manchen Arten fällt die dritte Reihe an der Unterseite weg. Dagegen sind die Arten der Metzgeriales "thallos" gebaut. Ihr Thallus ist aber einfacher gebaut als bei den Marchantiopsida. Er besitzt weder Luftkammern noch Atemporen und ist nur wenige Zellschichten dick. Ein zentraler Streifen ist meist dicker als der Rand, bei manchen Arten, etwa bei der Gattung Metzgeria ist eine scharf abgegrenzte Mittelrippe vorhanden. Am Rand ist der Thallus bei manchen Arten gelappt, was dann den Eindruck macht, als wären zwei Reihen von Blättchen vorhanden. Der Thallus wird aus zweischneidigen Scheitelzellen gebildet, die beblätterten Formen aus dreischneidigen Scheitelzellen.

In fast allen Geweben der Jungermanniopsida finden sich Ölkörper aus Terpenen, die ihnen einen typischen Duft verleihen.

Die Gametangien stehen einzeln und sind nicht in Gametangienständen zusammengefasst.

Der Sporophyt besteht aus einer Sporenkapsel, die von einem langen Stiel (Seta) emporgehoben wird. Die Sporenkapsel öffnet sich längs in 4 Klappen.

Namen
Die namensgebende Gattung, Jungermannia, wurde von Carl von Linné nach Ludwig Jungermann (1572–1653) benannt. Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Schreibweisen von Jungermans Namen, mit einem bzw. zwei n, wurde von manchen Systematikern auch die Schreibweise Jungermania verwendet. Maßgeblich ist jedoch die Schreibung Linnés.

1966 Philips 1-2 ? Blue/Gray Jacked in thrugh the microphone input. There was a "monitor"
my senses. I recently realized that it was a 510. Not the 310 which has just a small light bulb. Memories fades away and I only had that little amp a couple of days. But a 510 it was!
1968 Dynacord Eminent 35 Grey/black PA-amp used for my guitar playing. A green "magic eye"
1969 VOX AC50 50 Black/brown The same LG provided me with this amp. I used an old tape recorder as a preamp and made it sound great.
1973 VOX AC50 50 Black Never liked this one. Not loud enough and a boring, dry sound. Too clean.
1974 ELK Reverb 20 Black/grey Nice little amp. A Fender copy. Unfortunately stolen. I have no picture of my Elk, but it looked like the amps on the linked pictures.The logo was like pic 2.
1980 Pignose 1,5? Brown This has been a pleasant companion through the years !
1990 Marshall Combo 20 Marshall green Used during the "Selfflying Dwerfelk" sessions.
Too noisy and hummed a lot.
pay the rent, though. Sorry ´bout that.
Nifty Fifty 15 Yellow Excellent amp ! Small,rugged and reliable.
It has a warm tone and it plays loud enough for monotoring my guitar on stage. Need som repair now.
2008 Peavey Classic 20 20 Tweed Excellent amp ! Like a mini version of the Blues Deluxe amp, all tubes, great. Worked fine with my Telecasters.
2008 Peavey Micro Bass 15 Black This one works fine, even on stage!
2008 Pignose 1,5 Brown I bought one more! Gave it to Johanna as a Christmas gift.
2009 VOX Night Train 15 Chrome All tube amb by VOX. Excellent, sounds perfect!
I run it through a Fender 1x12" or a Crate 1x12" cabinet .
2009 Fender Champion 600 5 Yellow All tube small amp by Fender. Sounds amazing!
But it´s not working at the moment :-( Need to be repaired.
2010 Halkan´s Dual Tone 60 Black Nice amp from the seventies.
2011 VOX Li´l Nighttrain 2 Chrome A miniature version of the Nighttrain. For studio recordings.
2014 Fender Super Champ X2 15 Black Another vintage modified amp. Also great!
