▼ This work presents a new fast and efficient algorithm for a floating point multiplier that adheres to the IEEE 754 standard and also investigates its VLSI implementation. As a verification tool, VHDL is used to simulate the hardware model of the new floating point multiplier algorithm. In addition this work describes and compares several parallel multiplier architectures including a new parallel multiplier architecture which is both time optimal and regular in structure. This new multiplier architecture will be used as part for the new floating point multiplier algorithm. Finally the BICMOS implementation of the new multiplier architecture is discussed.Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

▼ This study examines how a local group of 15 and 16 year old young women understand and give meaning to their own, as well as other teenage females', sexuality. Two distinct views are featured. First, the specific value system of the analysts of a 'deviance' approach to female teenage sexuality which depict female teenage sexuality as wrong, deviant, dangerous, and in need of control. And second, the social constructionist view which questions these values and depictions of sexuality as well as the myriad of values and behaviours that also exist. This research agrees with the theory of social constructionism that views sexuality as a learned and scripted phenomenon. The goal of this thesis is to establish if young women escape the dominant, patriarchal values and regulatory systems surrounding female sexuality, as well as if a feminist alternative to female sexuality is adopted. It was found that the young women in the study face five of the dilemmas encountered by generations before them. These dilemmas are: the double standard; fear of a bad reputation; lack of pleasure in sex; an unfair grounds for bargaining with regard to sex; and a lack of sufficient language for the positive expression of sex. Also, the young women in the study were reluctant to identify themselves as feminist despite endorsing many ideals of feminism. It was concluded that there is a dichotomy between discourse for self and other, a significant lack of pleasure among teenage female sexual experience, and a definite need for feminism to be encouraged.

▼ The purposes of the present investigation were to study the relationship between reading impairment and socioemotional functioning and to consider the predictive validity of neuropsychological tests of linguistic functioning for socioemotional subtype. The subjects consisted of 274 clinic-referred children. One group was defined as reading-impaired (on the basis of WRAT scores for Reading and Spelling), and the remaining children served as controls. Children in the reading-impaired group were found to comprise a significant proportion of the Normal socioemotional subtype, while no group differences were noted for the six subtypes identified. Neuropsychological linguistic measures of pure language functioning were found to be the best predictors of psychosocial subtype, and all linguistic tests were adequate predictors of group membership. For young children, reading impairment is not necessarily associated with psychosocial dysfunction, and higher reading and spelling scores were more likely to be linked to more severe forms of psychopathology.

▼ This thesis explores the dilemma women experience when they have a miscarriage. The tension between their perception of its significance and the perception of those around them, create difficulties for them as they attempt to integrate the event into their life-pattern. The social and psychological setting for miscarriage, the dynamics of perinatal bereavement, and models of care are reviewed. The theological and philosophical background of dualistic attitudes towards women and their bodies is examined in the work of traditional and feminist theologians. An examination of the results of interviews with twenty women who had miscarried within the previous four years shows dramatically the tension and difficulties with integration. Some main factors that lead to a measure of integration are explained. The implications for pastoral care, based on the previous information and an analysis of pastoral care theory as it relates to bereavement, produces several concrete suggestions for changes in the type of pastoral care women who miscarry receive.Dept. of Religious Studies.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between time management and academic achievement. To this end there were two specific aims. The first aim was to analyze the factor structure of time-management in an attempt to determine whether the construct consists of more than one component. The second aim was to examine whether time-management practices were predictive of academic performance even when general ability was controlled for. The time-management behaviour and attitudes of eighty-eight university students were assessed via their scores on a time-management questionnaire. Subject scores on the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (Jackson, 1984) were used as a measure of general ability. Single semester grade point averages (for the semester in which the time-management and ability measures were taken) were obtained from college records. Scores on the time-management instrument were submitted to a principal components analysis which revealed two distinct components. A subsequent regression analysis was carried out wherein grade point average was regressed on each of the time-management components and on MAB-verbal scores in a stepwise procedure. While MAB-verbal scores accounted for the largest proportion of the variance (R2 =.13), both components were found to be significant predictors of grade point average (combined increment in R2 =.14). It is concluded that the construct of time-management appears to consist of more than one component, and that the time-management behaviours, feelings, and beliefs incorporated by these components may have an influence on academic achievement over and above the influence of general ability.Dept. of Psychology.

▼ This thesis describes the official positions of the Presbyterian Church in Canada on capital punishment, abortion and euthanasia, and the process the Church underwent to arrive at these positions. The theological and ethical principles upon which these positions are based are evaluated, and the work of the authors referred to by the Presbyterian Church in its research is discussed. Five ordained Presbyterian ministers and twelve lay Presbyterians were interviewed with a view to discovering their understanding of the Presbyterian Church's positions on capital punishment, abortion and euthanasia, their personal opinions and experiences of these issues, and their perceived role of the Church in dealing with these topics. The interviews were analysed in terms of their content, and a number of conclusions were drawn. The thesis ends with some recommendations based on the material gained from the interviews. The recommendations refer to ways of improving the internal communication within the Presbyterian Church, how to involve the laity in the formation of official policy formation on ethical issues, and how the Church could be more helpful to people dealing with abortion and euthanasia.Dept. of Religious Studies.

▼ This study examines Dignity, a voluntary organization comprised of gay and lesbian Roman Catholics, and their friends. The research project asks how Dignity can survive in the face of hostility from the Church hierarchy. This opposition has been expressed by the 1986 Vatican document, "Letter to the Bishops of the World on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons," and in the resulting expulsion of twenty-seven local Dignity chapters from their home parishes. Dignity's position on sexual ethics places it in opposition to traditional Church teaching. This study discusses Dignity's position on sexual ethics, examining Dignity documents and position papers, including its Statement of Position and Purpose, and the Dignity Sexual Ethics Task Force, comparing them to related Church documents. In addition, respondents' views on sexual ethics are presented. The personal interviews show that the research project respondents' sexual ethics are in harmony with the position of the national organization. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

▼ The purpose of the present investigation was to study the peer review process in the Journal of Clinical Neuropsychology/Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology (JCN/JCEN). Interrater reliability between two independent reviewers regarding the decision of whether or not a manuscript should be published was analyzed, as well as the rates of agreement between the reviewer's recommendations and the final editorial decision. Reviewer reliability on the recommendation for publication fell within the low range for acceptable intraclass correlation coefficient values. Reviewers agreed more often on the recommendation to reject a manuscript than on the decision to accept a manuscript. The editors were equally likely to accept a manuscript that both reviewers agreed should be accepted as they were to reject a manuscript that both reviewers agreed should be rejected. The variables that served as the best predictors of subsequent publication were overall significance, conclusions, methodology, and data analysis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)Dept. of Psychology.

▼ This thesis examines the birth and growth of the Reform Party of Canada within historical and contemporary contexts. In Chapter One, the development and strategies of the Reform Party's western-based predecessors, the Progressives, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and the Social Credit, are examined. This chapter identities the similarities and differences between the Reform movement and other protest parties that have emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. In Chapter Two, the dominant theories of minor party development in Canada are surveyed and then applied to the Reform Party in a disciplined-configurative case study. In Chapter Three, the results of telephone interviews with elite members of the Reform Party are presented. The interviews focus on demographic, recruitment, career and community involvement/politically experience patterns common to the senior membership. In Chapter Four, the results of a press content analysis of ten daily newspapers in Canada, and their coverage of the Reform Party at five key events in the party's history, are presented. Chapter Five paints a profile of the Reform Party and proposes additional avenues of research. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ The following is a comparative case study analysis of automobile insurance in Canada. The purpose of this analysis is to construct an appropriate model of automobile insurance for the province of Ontario. The first chapter is a literature review designed to give the reader enough background information to understand the analysis of the study. This is followed by a research design which outlines the units of analysis, the content of the case analyses, the criteria used in the comparative analysis, and the techniques employed throughout the study. The third chapter consists of four case studies: Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and Alberta. This chapter is broken into two parts including a historical review, and a current model section. The fourth chapter is a comparative analysis which examined the four jurisdictions according to the criteria given in the research design. This is supplemented by a survey of the literature most relevant to the pre-established criteria. Finally in chapter five, a model of automobile insurance for the province of Ontario is designed, based on the data derived from the case studies and the comparative analysis.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ The Iranian Revolution is an historical quagmire and anomaly which has left behind it a legacy of perplexing questions. There are primarily two reasons for the rise of these questions: the rapid pace at which the Revolution occurred and its religious elements. Although there were signs of social and political discontent in Iran during the early and mid-1970s, the rapid pace at which the infamous Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown and replaced by an Islamic republic is astounding. The Iranian Revolution is puzzling as those who opposed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's reign and brought about its collapse, were equipped only with religious slogans and moreover with their desire for change. The findings of this thesis suggest that the Pahlavi dynasty was perceived by many Iranians as oppressive. This resulted in mass discontent that was conducive to the rise of an Iranian Islamic movement. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's millenarian ideas of Islamic salvation via the establishment of an Islamic republic, which may have otherwise fallen upon deaf ears, were in this situation considered a viable and appealing alternative to the Iranian way of life under the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty. Khomeini promised a return to the "golden age" of the Prophet Mohammed's reign which exemplified the ideal Islamic society. The conclusions of this thesis have been developed by an in-depth examination of: (i) millenarian theory, (ii) the modernization and westernization policies introduced and undertaken by the Pahlavi dynasty which were perceived by many Iranians as alienating and oppressive, and (iii) the rise of Khomeini and the popularization of his millenarian ideas. These three factors were conducive to the rise and the augmentation of the Iranian Islamic movement which resulted in the Iranian Revolution under the guidance of Khomeini's charismatic leadership.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ The notion of corporatism first emerged during the middle ages, but it was not until the twentieth century that corporatism became a significant factor in the political structure of many countries. Initially, corporations performed representative functions for its members, and were used as vehicles towards socialization; however, these structures did not resemble tripartite arrangements (collaboration between the state, business, and labour interests) that are prominent in contemporary corporatist settings. Corporatism in the twentieth century began to take on new forms. The Italian Fascist State was the first significant example of authoritative corporatism, and this model was shortly thereafter adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany, as well as Spain and Portugal. At the culmination of the Second World War, corporatism was viewed as a term of opprobrium, and remained a non-factor in most polities until its reemergence during the 1970s. By this time, corporatism overcame its pejorative connotations and was implemented in many Western industrialized countries as a reaction to the welfare state, Keynesian economics and as an alternative to pluralism. Therefore, a distinction can be made between state corporatism, which is authoritarian in nature, and societal corporatism which is found in most liberal democracies.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ China's TV news programming has three unique features: (1) it is the most tightly controlled medium; (2) it is an one-voice medium – one billion people can only receive news program from the same one channel and no one has any other choice; and (3) it is also the most effective medium wielded by the regime of that country. These unique features, along with the nation's politics, system and ideology, therefore, have made the situation of China's TV news programming in the past thirty years quite complex. However, China's economic and political reforms in the last decade have eventually and inevitably generated the country's media reform. Many changes, in terms of both content and format, have occurred in China's TV news programming, and they have brought a brand-new face to its television broadcasting, although a number of principal problems still remain. As the only TV station in Shanghai and the second largest TV station in China, during the last decade, Shanghai has developed most quickly in China's television broadcasting. This thesis, through a case study of Shanghai Television's news programming, examines what has happened, what is going on and what will possibly occur in China's media reform, and seeks the relation between programming changes and social changes. While this thesis pays more attention to finding out the significance of those changes, it also discusses the remaining problems and suggests the future trends of China's media reform.Dept. of Communication Studies.

▼ This paper examines the phenomenon of non-voting in Canada. Four different approaches to the study of non-voting are examined. More particularly, this includes three traditional approaches: the Social/Economic approach, the Psychological/Motivational Approach and, the Environmental/Ecological Approach; as well as a more novel approach with regards to the Canadian literature: the Rational Choice Approach. While this last model has been loosely applied in the U.S., its implementation within the Canadian participation literature is very sparce and, as such, its usefulness as a viable explanatory device of the phenomenon of non-voting is evaluated comparatively within this framework.

▼ With the advent of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, came a new era in Canadian constitutional politics. The Charter empowered various organized interests in Canadian society by granting fundamental rights to a number of groups. Given that historically, women have experienced discrimination by the courts, political institutions and decision makers, the combination of sections 15 and 28 of the Charter were considered by many as a victory for women's equality. For women's groups in English Canada the Meech Lake Accord in 1987 represented a serious threat to these equality provisions. Women's groups became divided over the "distinct society" provision of the Meech Lake Accord. Perhaps the greatest rift which developed in the women's movement was that between women's groups in English Canada and in Quebec. As the constitutional amending process continued with the Charlottetown Accord, it became increasingly evident that the interests of women's groups were diverse, and that women's groups desired a formal role in the amending of the constitution. By examining the actions of various women's groups it is possible to understand why there is no monolithic women's movement in Canada – nor should there be. Indeed women's groups and the women they represent are diverse and divided along many lines including race and region. The problem for Canadian women's groups today is that they seek to represent a sector of the population rather than a special area. In doing so, their structures compete directly with the Parliamentary system which is based on geographic representation. While Canadian women have had their concerns advanced through interest groups, in order for women to continue to influence the state, the movement must focus on commonalities and shared experience. Chapter one provides a historical background of women's relationship to the constitution, and argues that this experience has been one of discriminatory treatment. Chapter two looks at current constitutional theory and introduces the literature by feminist scholars who identify women's relationship to the state as being different to that of men. Chapter three compares the lobby by women's groups in 1987 and 1992, and makes the case that women's groups were marginally more successful in influencing the government in 1992 primarily due to public support and that of the Native Women's Association. Chapter four concludes the paper by acknowledging that there does not exist a monolithic women's movement in Canada. It is important however for women's groups to reach consensus on some issues in order to reshape and redefine the present movement in Canada which is currently still recovering from the divisive rounds in 1987 and 1992.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ This study examines the mechanisms which have been introduced in Ontario to increase accountability within policing and the attitudes of police management personnel towards them. The study assesses the relationship between the police and the provincial government through a study of police morale with respect to external review and interest group behaviour. This is accomplished through a review of the literature on policing and the results of elite interviews with police management personnel. In Chapter One, models of interest group behaviour are examined with respect to police organizational behaviour. This chapter also identifies the prevailing literature on policing and its influence on the creation of police policy. In Chapter Two, the prevailing police philosophies of the 1990's are discussed. Community-policing, race relations training, increased educational requirements, and the trend towards civilian involvement in policing are discussed. In Chapter Three, the process by which policy is created and the role that interest groups have in this process is examined. The Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are both discussed with respect to their impact on law enforcement in Ontario. In Chapter Four, the concept of external review is examined from both a historical and a practical perspective. The relationship between police and the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner and the Special Investigations Unit is examined and police attitudes towards these institutions are discussed. Detailed analysis of the problems identified by police in the organizations is provided and suggestions for improvements are highlighted. Chapter Five determines the status of the relationship between the police and the provincial government. Suggestions for further studies on police accountability are provided.Dept. of History, Philosophy, and Political Science.

▼ Mounting global and domestic environmental awareness has proved to be an impetus for change within various Canadian governmental agencies. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is no exception. In response to the changing international and domestic environmental climate, CIDA attempted to develop a comprehensive environmental policy. In 1987, CIDA released its first policy initiative, Environment and Development: The Policy of CIDA, and in 1992, the Agency re-articulated its commitment to the environment in CIDA's Policy on Environmental Sustainability. As well, CIDA's commitment to the environment and sustainable development was affirmed in various other documents on CIDA's general policy. The second component of CIDA's Official Development Assistance Charter is of particular significance. The Charter is mentioned in two CIDA documents, To Benefit A Better World and Sharing Our Future, and it states: Canadian ODA should work to strengthen the human and institutional capacity of developing countries to solve their own problems in harmony with the natural environment. This paper examines CIDA's environmental policy initiatives and the various commitments made by the Agency found within these documents. In addition to the policy documents, three cases are examined to ascertain CIDA's level of commitment to sustainable development.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between preferential policies and political stability in three developing polities – Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Fiji. After a discussion of the socioeconomic environment and institutional legacies in each case, the types of preferential policies adopted by each were examined. The ethnic configuration; geographic distribution; the economic factors; "exit" alternatives; the political system; and external variables in each country were then analysed to assess their impact on political stability in the countries. The findings of this study suggest that political stability in ethnically plural societies that adopt preferential policies depends largely on two factors: the extent to which the politically disadvantaged group is accommodated in the political system; and the degree of hegemony exercised by the politically advantaged group, itself unified. In Malaysia and in pre-1987 Fiji, preferential policies in favour of the Malays and Fijians have been accompanied by significant accommodation of Chinese and Indian interests. In Sri Lanka, the Tamils, who were a much smaller minority, were largely excluded from the political system by the Sinhalese and hence, the preferential policies led to their political alienation and demands for a separate state. In Malaysia and Fiji, political stability is very much dependent on the dominant ethnic groups – the Malays and Fijians – maintaining their political hegemony. The Sri Lankan case however, suggests that such hegemonic control can become excessive, and conducive to political instability unless it is balanced by some genuine accommodation of minority interests.

▼ The Business Council on National Issues has been the subject of recent scrutiny provided by David Langille, Linda McQuaig, Maude Barlow. While emanating from diverse experiences, (the first, an academic; the second, a member of media; and the latter, claiming to represent the nationalist voice), their hypotheses are quite similar. That is, the Business Council wields extraordinary ability to influence the direction of Canadian macroeconomic strategy. Recent initiatives, such as bilateral free trade with the United States, competition policy reform and fiscal restraint are portrayed as the sole product of the BCNI influence. The Canadian state, in this regard, is presented as a convenient courier of the Council's desires. Containing all of the principal elements of dominant class analysis, this hypothesis is presented as the definitive means to comprehend the activities of the Business Council. This thesis challenges the confines of dominant class doctrine. Chapter One introduces the theoretical foundation employed in the paper. Such political doctrines as pluralism, statism, political economy and dominant class theory establish the means in which to define the relationship between business and government in liberal democratic societies. The Business Council remains an enigmatic entity. The recent publications of Langille, Barlow and McQuaig have unspecifically portrayed the BCNI as the monolithic representative of capital. Chapter Two provides some insight into the leadership, organization structure and membership profile of this organization. Chapters Three, Four, and Five examine the impact of the BCNI on Canadian macroeconomic environment. Recent economic ventures such as free trade, competition policy reform and fiscal restraint are used to discern the influence exercised by the Business Council on National Issues. Chapter Six makes some concluding remarks concerning the utility of political hypotheses to comprehend the relationship between the business community and the Canadian state.

▼ Bela Bartok's music is balanced with a sense of intuition and a sense of logical order, and it is this logical order based on the Fibonacci numbers and golden section which will be examined. According to Erno Lendvai, the Fibonacci numbers and golden section provide organization in music in terms of form, a synthetic scale called the Fibonaccian scale, patterns of durational value, and lengths of movements. This study will examine and evaluate Lendvai's analysis of Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, and Fourth String Quartet as well as the work of other theorists and mathematicians to determine whether the Fibonacci numbers and golden section influenced these selected pieces.

▼ The maritagium and the gift in tail were conditional gifts by which land from the patrimony might be provided to daughters and younger sons while ensuring that when such cadet branches failed the land would return to the central inheritance. The coalescence of the common law around coherent principles and the legislation of Edward I on land conveyance resulted in the demise of the maritagium as a land conveyance form and its replacement by the gift in tail. Also, attitudes about the place of women in the family and marriage and the economic changes of the thirteenth century, which encouraged the development of a flexible strategy between demesne and rented lands created a land sales market, caused the practice of granting marriage portions in land to daughters to be replaced by monetary and chattel gifts, while no such change was made in the provision for younger sons.

▼ Historians are unfamiliar with the frontier attorney. We know little of who he represented, what types of cases he litigated and his day-to-day labors. Nathaniel Hart Davis practiced law in Montgomery, Texas from 1850 to 1883; by examining his career we may shed light on these issues. Davis specialized in civil law. Debt collection dominated his practice, but he also litigated land disputes, probate, slave law and divorce cases. He represented the propertied citizens of Montgomery, nearly always acting on behalf of the plaintiff. His energies were devoted primarily to out-of-court tasks: gathering information, tracking down debtors, buying and selling real estate for speculators, and disposing of probate property and debts. Davis was not the stereotypical incompetent, ignorant, parasitical frontier attorney. A cautious, learned man, Davis fulfilled a vital role in his community. He tried to ensure relatively smooth business transactions in an unstable Texas economy. Advisors/Committee Members: Hyman, Harold M. (advisor).

How to choose and size a charge controller for your solar system installation.
Are you a novice or an installer, who has been wondering how to choose an appropriate charge controller for your solar work?. Don't panic anymore, as you have made your way to this blog post which was written to give a guide on choosing the right solar charge controller for your installation.
What is a solar charge controller?
A solar charge controller is an electrical device used in our solar energy installation, to regulate charges. The controller is normally in between the power source ( panels) and the power storage (battery). It does the work of protecting the battery from overcharging and also shunting the system when the storage power falls below 50%, thereby preventing the battery drainage. At the same time helping in preserving the battery life span.
Working principle of the charge controller.
It works by taking records of charging current flowing through a semiconductor acting like a valve and at the same time limiting the charges entering into the system batteries. When the power bank is fully charged, the controller prevents the current from flowing in again. By so doing preventing the batteries from overcharging.
Easy ways of installing the battery in series and parallel connection.
The charge controller has many other important roles it plays in our installation which are as follows;
Overcharge protection:
when the required amount of rated currents entered a solar installation circuit, it causes lots of damage to the system. Sometimes it can lead to the burning of the circuits thereby risking our lives and properties. But with a charge controller, the device opposes excess current from entering the circuit. i.e it regulates the current entering the circuit, making sure excess current that can damage the system does not go in the system. With a well-rated charge controller, our solar installation is free from overheating caused by overcharging.
Low Voltage disconnects:
in this case, when the battery charges in the battery power bank fell below a defined threshold, due to an overload connected to them, the charge controller automatically disconnects some critical loads connected to the system. And when the batteries got charged the controller automatically reconnects the disconnected loads.
See Also How to fix Solar panels on a clay tile roof.
Blocking of reverse current:
The controller blocks a reverse current from the solar panels from going inside the battery especially during the night when the panels are no longer passing charges to the battery. The panels have an electronic diode that makes the current flow in one direction to the system. So when the panels are no longer passing out electric charge to the system, it naturally passes a current to the system which the charge controller blocks from entering the circuit.
Who needs to install solar charge controller.
People who need the charge controllers are those who have a solar network grid that they manage on their own. But sometimes some people use a solar hybrid inverter which was constructed with a charge controller inbuilt on them. If you are using this type of inverter, you don't need to install another solar charge controller as the inbuilt one will serve you, or less the amperage of your panels exceeds the amperage of the inbuilt one. In such a case, you can buy a higher amperage controller that will suit your solar grids.
Different types of solar charge comptroller.
Solar charge controllers are of two types, the pulse width modulation (PWM) and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
The pulse width modulation (PWM) charge controller.
These types of controllers are the most commonly used. Those who have small solar gride normally makes use of it, because it is cheap to afford compare to MPPT.
It regulates the current and voltage entering into the system. When the batteries charge to it limits the controller stops to deliver in current to system. When making use of this type of controller, its voltage and that of your inverter must be the same.
And the average of the controller must be greater than that of your solar panel. Meaning that if you are having a system of 50A and 12V inverter, the controller must be in 12V and the amperage will be like 60A.
PWM solar charge controller
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controller.
This type of charge controller is an updated one as it works like an automated device in regulating currents. It makes use of the full voltage drawn from the sunlight, to charge batteries. And when delivering a charging current drawn from the sun, it regulates and sent only the amount the system needed to charge them. When the batteries are fully charged, the controller stops to supply charging current to the batteries. They monitor and regulate the output voltage to suit the system, so as not to overcharge or under-charge the batteries.
See Also Step-by-step guide on how to install solar panels.
Mppt solar charge controller
How to choose Amps of the controller for our solar network.
when it comes to the sizing of the charge controller for our installation, there are some information we need from our systems. First thing is to choose the type of controller you want to make use of, weather is WPM or MPPT. From the information above, one can easily choose the type of controller he/she can install.
The solar panel voltage and power, are the second thing we put into consideration to install the right one. When you might have gotten the power and voltage of your panels. It is just small calculations to get the actual size and rating the system need.
How to choose the best size of pulse width modulation. (PWM) charge controller for your installation.
when using this type of controller for your installation, try and make sure you appropriately assign the right one because any small mistake can result in damaging the controller. This PWM controller has its amperage rating and voltages written on them. So in this system(PWM), the rule is this, The voltage you are feeding into it must be the same as the controller voltages. And the current of your panels or batteries should not exceed the rated current of the controller.
Let's for an instant, you are having like eight 12voltage, 100 watts panels connected in parallel. And you are to choose the size of the controller to use for it. All you need to do is to calculate the current of the panel and multiply it by 1.25 i.e the recommended factor of safety.
Simple Guides on solar panel installation.
See Also Why do I experience quick solar battery discharge? (How to fix them)
To calculate the total current of the solar panels when connected and multiply by 1.25. The reason for multiplying it by 1.25 is for safety because the panels charging sometimes exceeds the rated current when exposed to sun rays. So for our controller to be on the safer side, we need to multiply by 1.25. So that the increase in current won't affect the controller.
5.29×8=42.32Amps which is the solar panel current, then multiple by 1.25. It will give 52.9Amps.
So, as you got the total current to be 52.9Amp, when buying your controller for the work make sure to buy a controller with is higher or equal to 53amps current rating. And as your battery and solar panels were on 12volt the voltage of the controller should also be on 12volt.
Some PWM controllers do have a voltage rating of 12/24V, meaning you can be able to use them on 12V or 24V provided the current of the panels does not exceed its current.
How to choose the best MPPT charge controller for solar installation.
The MPPT charge controller seems to be the best because of its advantages over PWM. It receives input from the sun's rays and controls it to suit the system it is serving. Meaning the controller accepts a huge amount of charges and regulates them to suit the system.
Let for instance we have a 60Amp of mppt controller, during operation, this charge controller can be able to receive like 100 amp but at the output, it only delivers 40A which it was designed for.
It also does the same for voltage, it can receive a higher voltage and regulates the voltage to the one the system needs.
When choosing the size of the amp to use in installation work, all you need to do is to calculate the voltage and current of batteries as u did to PWM. Sometimes, we do feed the MPPT controller with a higher volt to make the system give out stable output not minding the weather conditions

Interview with R. H. Wassum
Joanna Sergent
My dad came to Norton after I was born in Norfolk. They brought me to Norton in 1900. I lived in Norton until I was 25. The summer after World War II, they transferred me down to Marshalls Branch and made a portal down there. It was getting so far for the men to travel. The union got a contract here where they had to pay the men from the time he starts in the drift mouth until he comes out. Well, they were having to haul them entirely too far and they moved it down there where they just took them a short distance.
Do you belong to the union?
Yes, 1933 until today.
When you first came to Jenkins, who was your boss?
A fellow by the name of Dwight Marshall. He was the machine shop foreman, and his father was S. L. Marshall and he lived in this house and was one of the blacksmiths. Before he lived in this house, another blacksmith that was here when I came was John Fairchild, Walter Shubert's father-in-law.
Where was the first place you and your wife lived here in Jenkins?
In Henry Wright's, the first big double house on High Street. I rented some rooms.
When you first came to Jenkins, how did High Street look?
Well, it hasn't changed much except all these houses were fenced with wire fences and there was a boardwalk all the way out, and one going up through the yards. Up behind those houses on the hill, there was a boardwalk behind them. Some of the houses had bathrooms and some didn't. The ones that didn't have bathrooms had to have water in the kitchen, but just before I came here they had outside "spickets" and people just had to carry their water.
Did they have high school here?
Yes, but they had high school in McRoberts. I don't know how they handled — like the Burdine children — transporting them.
How did Jenkins look in 1922?
Well, it had a concrete street down the middle of it and maple trees along between the street and walk and we used to go down there and set on benches under the trees. Several band directors used to be here. The company used to keep a band director working around here somewhere. One was a friend of mine, Hubert Hutchins, and others were Eddie Lopas and William H. Frye. He was Albert Farley's father-in-law. They would always give them a job doing something. Lopas and Hutchins worked in the shop. These band masters would get down in that bandstand in the park and play on Saturday and on holidays. We didn't have any building except the big office. It was a big place. The park had hedges planted all around it and flowers, mostly grass and a place to get a drink.
[Mr. Wassum talking about John L. Lewis]
We were on a wildcat strike and he came in here to try to get us to go back to work. I watched him around town here and spoke to him, heard him talk to people — nicest man you ever saw in your life, just as friendly to everyone, the kids and all. When he went up to the ball diamond to make a speech to us about going back to work, I never saw a man change so much from man to animal in my life! He wanted to know how he could represent us when we wouldn't do what the contract called for. He said we made them a promise and you won't do what I promised you would do. When he got through talking up there, those men had already gone to work. Everybody on the evening shift had slipped and gone and got their clothes on and gone to work.
What kind of a looking fellow was he?
Well, he was tall, a big wide face and eyebrows the looked like haystacks sticking up over his eyes. I understand he told a fellow one time, one of the bosses got to making fun of his eyebrows, and he told the boss, "Listen, you wouldn't be half as scared of me as you are if I didn't have these eyebrows!"
Did any other president of the union ever come in here?
Not that I know of. Joe Yablonski was in here not too long ago, but I never did see him.
What did the people think when they started selling the houses?
Well, when we first heard that, we didn't believe it until we found out why and we began to believe it.
How did you feel about it?
Well, I wanted to buy my house. I tried to be the first one here to sign up for a house in this district, but I think I missed it by one or two.
Who beat you, do you remember.
No, I don't remember.
What kind of payments did they set up for you?
I think it was $16 or $18 a month and they cut it out at the office and I didn't even know I was paying for it.
How much rent did you pay when you first got here?
At one time I was paying $16 monthly.
Did you have electricity?
When I came here, there was lights in all the houses, but you didn't have any fixtures and you would buy what they called an ice box and the company wagon, ice wagon, came around and you'd buy 50 pounds of ice and put it in the top of that and that was to keep your stuff all day. A man by the name of Bill Brown used to drive the ice wagon.
How often did he come around?
Every day except on Sunday.
How did the inside of the houses look when you first came here?
The company would fix it up for you inside any way you wanted it. They would paper some rooms and paint some. Most of them was papered and except the kitchen and they would let you pick the color you wanted and they would fix it for you.
When you first started working here, how much were you making a day or shift?
I think I came over here for 99¢ an hour.
When you first came here from Norton, how did you get here?
I had to catch a train out of Norton to St. Paul, St. Paul change train on to another railroad up to Elkhorn City and there onto another railroad to Pikeville and to another railroad up to here. You couldn't make it one day. You had to stay over somewhere. There wasn't many cars here at that time. Only about two.
Who did they belong to?
The only one I remember was Henry Wright. He had an old Packard and a new Dodge.
Do you remember the 4th of July celebration?
Yes, they usually had some fireworks on the side of the lake or something.
Did you know Bad John Wright?
I've seen him hundreds of times riding up and down the street on a horse, but I never did have any occasion to talk to him.
Did you know Doc Taylor?
I knew his son, but I didn't know Doc Taylor. His son was Sylvan Taylor and he had a grandson, Tom Lee Taylor, that I used to play with.
Who was the superintendent of the mines when you came?
I think it was George Hayes. He replaced John Smith.
What happened to John Gordon Smyth?
He had a mind of his own. They had a bunch of men here but they are dead and gone now. George Christopher was coal inspector. Jake Smith was section foreman and ended up as coal inspector.
Who were your bosses down here at the shop?
Shop foreman was Dwight Marshall and then Damon Duncan. Maintenance was Pat Flowery. Adam Gilmore, Blake was the last until Gene Auxier.
Do you remember anything unusual or strange that happened to you while you worked at the shop?
When Mr. Hayes was General Manager here, my machine got to the place where it would shock me pretty bad when you opened the controller up on it. I told my boss about it and he came in there with a brand new pair of shoes on that was nice and dry and it wouldn't shock him. He was going to fire me because I said it shocked me and it didn't shock him. I didn't tell him what the trouble was but they got mad. Mr. Hayes come along and started to touch the machine and I told him not to put his hands on it and he said why. I told him. He went out and jumped on the boss. The boss come in. He was going to fire me for telling the boss a lie. I shut the machine off and I said, "put your hand on the machine and see what happens" and jerked the controller open and it liked to killed him. I thought I had killed him.
One of the funniest things that happened was a boy living right here in town Houlie Wright. He was just a little thing and his daddy, Henry, lived down there where Elva Gambill lives. Henry came down there one day and I was working in the shop. He wanted to know if he could bring an old Ford car down there and turn it upside down to let a little gear that had fallen down in the motor fall out. If I don't do that, I'll have to take the motor out and turn it upside down. I said, "I don't think it would hurt anything." He turned that Ford upside down and Houlie came along and saw it while Henry was trying to get the gear out. Houlie slipped up to the house and told his mother that Poppie's down there by the machine shop with that old Ford turned upside down at the bottom of that hill and she came down through there wanting to know if Henry was dead. He was working on the car and he looked up at her and said, "Nannie, what's the matter with you?"
She said he come down there and told me you was over the hill with this Ford turned upside down. "I am, but I done it myself." She looked around at Houlie and he was standing there watching and she took two or three steps toward him and he backed off. The last time I saw Houlie he was going around the recreational building towards Lakeside.

Der Kia Combi, ursprünglich als Asia MotorsCombi vertrieben, war eine Minibus-Serie, die von 1983 bis 2002 von Asia Motors bzw. Kia Motors gebaut wurde. Zum Start der 24-Sitzer Version Asia Motors AM805/807 Combi verfügten die meisten Exemplare über den Mazda z. B. Sechszylinder-Dieselmotor mit 4052 cm³. Dieser Motor leistete 100 PS (74 kW) bei 3.600 Umdrehungen pro Minute. Da Mazda damals Kooperationspartner von Asia/Kia war, basierte das Modell auf dem Mazda Parkway bzw. Mazda Titan. 1990 erfolgte ein Facelift der Front mit neuen Doppelscheinwerfern.

1996, nach dem Ende der Kooperation mit Mazda, schloss Kia einen Liefervertrag mit Hyundai über die Belieferung mit Motoren. Neben einem neu gestalteten Armaturenbrett gab es nun die moderneren kleineren Vierzylinder-Hyundai-Dieselmotoren mit mehr Leistung. Hierbei leistete der 3,3 L D4AL 120 PS (88 kW) und der 3,9 L D4DA 140 PS (103 kW). Nach der Fusion von Kia und Hyundai 1999 verschwand die Asia Sub-Marke bis zum Jahr 2000 und das Modell wurde nun, wie bereits vorher in Exportmärkten, als Kia Power-Combi angeboten. Aufgrund strengerer Abgasvorschriften im Heimatmarkt für 2003 wurde die Produktion des Combi ohne einen Nachfolger am 28. Oktober 2002 eingestellt.

Les Mills has changed the group fitness Instructor game again.
With a new Advanced Training program designed to turn great Instructors into great leaders, and a new playlist function allowing them to truly personalize workouts for an even better member experience, Les Mills is again showing the way when it comes to group fitness innovation and excellence.
For decades Les Mills has been growing a tribe of highly trained and exceptionally skilled Instructors – fitness professionals who have mastered the art of fusing fitness science, motivation and music. This global tribe is 130,000 strong.
Now, Les Mills is raising the bar and helping foster a new caliber of industry talent. The creation of an Advanced Training program will help certified Les Mills Instructors discover and enhance their own strengths, harness their true leadership potential, and extend the longevity of their teaching careers.
Kylie Gates, Les Mills Creative Director, says the training will help Instructors shape careers as fitness leaders. "It provides Instructors with the tools they need to keep growing as an Instructor, which ultimately means they keep enhancing the experience for participants. And when Instructors provide amazing experiences for participants, that's when they pack out classes." She adds that packed classes are the secret to long-term member retention.
Also helping pack those classes is a great new playlist feature now available to all Les Mills Instructors through the LES MILLS™ Releases App. The new "Mix and Match Playlists" feature means Instructors can now effortlessly create their own personalized class from the music in their LES MILLS Releases within the App, to shape workouts that best suit member preferences and demographics.
With music at the heart of every LES MILLS program, the functionality to mix and match favorite tracks further enhances the Releases App, and adds value to clubs by giving Les Mills Instructors another edge in the group fitness studio.
Instructors have the best of both worlds, says Gates. "They get quality, science-backed programming and amazing music. But they can easily mix and match the tracks to create workouts to suit their mood – or most importantly what they know participants will love." It's a win-win – more empowered instructors and more engaged members, she says.
