I read good reviews about these motors and wanted to test myself. The motors indeed are of good quality. Did not install in my RC plane yet so can't give you a performance review but the propellers and motors are made from good and solid materials.
low price, double the fun!
it's just 1 dollar for a toy motor, with matching propellor. to me that was worth it.
other ideas you could try?
salvage old toys and look for the toy motor, buy propellors seperate.
don't want to make your kids cry (it's fun though)? buy this set!
Very good quality and high speed motor best for mini aircraft.
El producto llegó a tiempo y en excelente estado. Lo recomiendo mucho. Soy de Paraguay!

Pg. 99: John Kenneth White's "Barack Obama's America"
The current feature at the Page 99 Test: Barack Obama's America: How New Conceptions of Race, Family, and Religion Ended the Reagan Era by John Kenneth White.
The election of Barack Obama to the presidency marks a conclusive end to the Reagan era, writes John Kenneth White in Barack Obama's America. Reagan symbolized a 1950s and 1960s America, largely white and suburban, with married couples and kids at home, who attended church more often than not.
Obama's election marks a new era, the author writes. Whites will be a minority by 2042. Marriage is at an all-time low. Cohabitation has increased from a half-million couples in 1960 to more than 5 million in 2000 to even more this year. Gay marriages and civil unions are redefining what it means to be a family. And organized religions are suffering, even as Americans continue to think of themselves as a religious people. Obama's inauguration was a defining moment in the political destiny of this country, based largely on demographic shifts, as described in Barack Obama's America.
Learn more about Barack Obama's America at the publisher's website.

The Natural Evolution of A Bilingual Child's Language Skills
Posted by: Alicia Maher | Category: Bicultural Vida, Daily Blog
I've had ample quality time with my stepdaughters this summer, which means I've been watching them interact with my son in surprisingly bilingual ways. The girls are 12 and 10 years old, entrenched in English at school and accustomed to using Spanish only at their abuelos' house. One of them is much more comfortable with Spanish than the other and it sometimes appears that they have rejected the language altogether, but observing their play with my 4-year-old tells a different story about their connection to the culture.
Spanish music overflows from their iPods and they have tried to teach Isaías to dance salsa and bachata.When he coerces them into playing with cars and trucks, they use Spanish commands to build a road and exclaim "¡Ay!" when he destroys the whole thing in little boy fashion.
I was fully expecting Spanish usage to wane in our household after this long summer with my stepdaughters here full-time, but I've been happy to see that my fears were for naught. With little encouragement from me, the kids have demonstrated that they are functioning bilinguals.
The most important lesson I have learned from sitting back and watching the contrast between the older and younger Spanish speakers in my house is that there is a natural evolution in a child's language skills. As with everything else we try to give our kids, Spanish is both a tool that gives them access to a different world and a token they can play with to aggravate and manipulate their parents. The more we enforce the language as though it's not a choice, the more agitated they'll become. Instead, if we have confidence in the value of exposure, things will develop on their own.
Though I have a lot more to learn as my son grows, I can offer this advice: it's always better to observe than to intervene and try to force things in a certain direction. Kids possess free will, and it's not just to frustrate us. They are forming their own worldview, and we are lucky to have the chance to examine its creation.
Every night, all three kids beg me for Spanish story time. I read books of all levels, complete with dramatized voices and silly accents, and we discuss them in both English and Spanish. It's like ending our days with a celebration of this mezcla of a household. I tuck myself in with the hope that a few of their dreams will be in Spanish.
Isn't it magnificent that those dreams are even a possibility?

5 Ways To Motivate Your Child to Speak Spanish When He Refuses To
Feliz Fourth of July!
Bilingual Musings: Language Transfer
How Reading Skills Transfer Across Languages
What Will Preschool Do To My Son's Spanish Skills?
Yes! You get it! I wish my family would have understood how pressuring a child can affect their will and motivation to speak it. Spanish was my first language but as soon as I learned English (in preschool) my Spanish vocabulary started slowing down and English eventually took over. I would get laughed at when I said a word in Spanish wrong and yet pressured to speak it. In the end I fought back by not speaking it at all. Of course now I regret it and am trying to increase my vocabulary which is equivalent to that of a 6-year-old. AWSOME article. Thanks for reminding us that sometimes it's best to just continue exposing them to the language and culture and eventually they too will get it. Pressuring children (especially teens) only makes them shut down.

Oton falu Horvátországban Šibenik-Knin megyében. Közigazgatásilag Ervenikhez tartozik.

Fekvése
Knintől légvonalban 9, közúton 15 km-re északnyugatra, községközpontjától légvonalban 13, közúton 39 km-re keletre, Dalmácia északi-középső részén, Bukovica területén, a Zrmanja felső folyásától délre fekszik. Nyugatról a Zrmanja szurdokvölgye, északról Kobilice, keletről Radljevac határolja. Három településrésze Polje, Brdo és Bender. Benderen halad át a Knin-Gračac vasútvonal.

Története
A falu területe a római korban Burnum városának környékéhez tartozott. Erre utal egy itt talált Jupiternek szentelt felirat. A szerbek betelepülése a 16. század elején kezdődött. Knin környékén már 1511-ben nagy számú szerb lakosság érkezett, majd főként Bosznia és Hercegovina területéről 1523 és 1527 között Dalmácia területére is sok szerb települt. Feltételezhető, hogy a 17. század első felében a térség lakosságának többsége még katolikus volt. A 17. században a faluba pravoszláv csoportok is települtek. B. Desnica említi a kotari uszkókokról írt művében, hogy 1692-ben a boszniai Bilajból új lakosok érkeztek, mintegy ötezer fő települt több bukovicai falu, Plavno, Zrmanju, Pađene, Oton és Mokro Polje területére. A következő századokban a környező falvak lakossága már mind pravoszláv többségű volt. A településnek 1857-ben 799, 1910-ben 992 lakosa volt. Az első világháború után előbb a Szerb-Horvát-Szlovén Királyság, majd Jugoszlávia része lett. 1991-ben már csaknem teljes lakossága (több mint 98 százalék) szerb nemzetiségű volt. Lakói még ez évben csatlakoztak a Krajinai Szerb Köztársasághoz. A horvát hadsereg 1995 augusztusában a Vihar hadművelet során foglalta vissza a települést. Szerb lakói elmenekültek. A településnek 2011-ben 164 lakosa volt.

Lakosság

Nevezetességei
Szent Illés próféta tiszteletére szentelt szerb pravoszláv temploma 1702-ben épült. A templom a Sudari településrészen levő temetőben áll. Egyhajós, kőből épített, hossszúkás épület, délkeleti tájolású, félköríves apszissal. A homlokzatokon vakolat nyomai láthatók, míg a templom belseje teljesen vakolt. A hajó csúcsíves boltozatú, amely felett a nyeregtetőt fémlemez borítja. Az apszis belsejét félkupola fedi. A főhomlokzaton téglalap alakú, kőkeretes ajtó és profilozott áthidaló, fölötte félkör alakú lunetta található. A homlokzat oromzatának közepén egy kőrozetta, az oromzat tetején pedig egy szabályos kövekből rakott harangdúc áll, mely három harang számára van kialakítva. A templomban két ikoncsoportot tartalmazó ikonosztáz található. A templom eredetileg középkori, román stílusú (lunetta, félkör alakú apszis) templom volt, gótikus (boltozat) elemekkel. Valószínűleg a 19. században kereszthajót építettek hozzá, és új ablaknyílásokat, ajtókereteket és a bejárati portálra profilozott áthidalót kapott.

My friend Chelsea over at Patch the Giraffe had an idea to share her cute little chalkboard with some of her blogging friends so they can show off the quilt blocks they're working on in the unique way that she does on her blog.
If you're a blogger and want to be the next stop for the Travelling Chalkboard, leave me a comment, and we'll send it along to you too!
For my turn with the chalkboard, I thought I'd share my Farmer's Wife blocks. I'm working on them a little bit at a time, enjoying being a link in the long historical chain of quilters who have each put their own touch on these classic blocks over the centuries. These represent my first foray into paper piecing. They are imperfect, sweet reminders of how much I have to learn about the art of quilting.
So now you know where I like to hang out…. it provides endless numbers of funky backdrops for my quilt projects, inspiration for my home, and hours of entertainment for my kids. Hope to see you around there sometime!
What beautiful blocks and great photography!
Beautiful photography – the chalkboard works great with the blocks and setting!
Love the chalkboard photos and the fabrics you've chosen for the blocks. Oh and Hamlet the pig wearing a crown!
What great scenery for a photo shoot! I might have to swing by Revival when I go to Quilt Con next year.
Great pictures! Love the chalkboard.
I recently learned of the Farmer's Wife blocks as my Supernova partner is working on them. I looked for book and finally got it used on Amazon. It appears brand new! so far I enjoy the book and the letters from 1920's, so different from life today! I will figure out my project with the blocks/book, it looks intriguing but I doubt I will make 111 + blocks for a sampler.
I've always liked the Farmer's Wife quilt – I bet yours will be a beauty when it's done!
Love your blog! can't wait to meet you next week!
ooooh those succulents! oh, and your blocks are lovely! The chalkboard really is a perfect prop for photographing them. One of these days I will make a farmer's wife quilt. It seems fitting since I live in the country, and while my husband is a computer programmer, looking at our house and homestead and my daily "chores", you may think I'm a farmer's wife!
I really like your economy block, and I can't wait to get the chalk board!

Ask an Expert: What's the Best Credit Card to Save on Gas?
If you have a road trip in your future, you can't control the price of gas but you can earn some cash back when you fill up.
Photo (cc) by David Blackwell.
This post comes from Jason Bushey. Jason writes about credit cards and personal finance topics daily on Creditnet.com.
My family and I are planning a road trip this summer, and obviously gas prices are one of our main concerns when it comes to expenses and costs. I have great credit and I never carry a balance, but I'm hoping to get a little bang for my buck at the gas pump. Can you recommend one or two credit cards that offer cash back or rewards for gas purchases?
It's safe to say the days of $2-a-gallon gas are long gone. Yet we still need to get to work, drop the kids off at school, and — in Dave's case — spend a little quality time with the family on the road.
While we can look up the best prices online to weed out the most expensive gas, the fact is, fuel makes up more of our monthly budget than it used to.
Two credit card companies in particular — American Express and Bank of America — have taken note, offering credit cards that reward consumers with double or triple the traditional 1 percent cash back for purchases made at the pump. These cards are reserved for consumers like Dave who have great credit.
While the savings won't be life-altering, any relief at the pump is better than none.
This card offers 2 percent on groceries and 3 percent on gas for the first $1,500 in combined gas and grocery purchases each quarter.
The $1,500 cap is sort of a bummer because it limits the amount of bonus cash you can accrue to $45 a quarter. But $1,500 in gas and groceries is a lot, so unless your budget is big, this won't be a factor. And $45 a quarter translates to $180 a year — nothing to scoff at, especially since once you hit the cap, you'll still earn 1 percent on all purchases.
The card carries no annual fee and also has free travel and emergency assistance and automatic car rental insurance. You can read the terms and conditions here.
Another consumer card offering bonus cash back on gas purchases is the Blue Cash Everyday Card from American Express. This card includes 2 percent cash back at gas stations, slightly less than the BankAmericard. However, there's no limit to the bonus cash back you can earn each quarter, and if you spend $1,000 within the first three months, AmEx will reward you with 100 Reward Dollars redeemable as a statement credit.
This card also carries no annual fee and has a free emergency hotline. You can read the terms and conditions here.
Again, 2 cents back on every $1 you spend on gas purchases won't make or break your trip. But over the course of a year (or, in Dave's case, a vacation) that 2 or 3 cents can add up to a couple hundred bucks, depending on your budget. And who's going to say no to free money accrued on the purchases you plan to make anyway?
To sum it up for Dave, these are two solid options for families ready to hit the open road because their respective bonus cash-back promotions on gas purchases are year-round. The choice really comes down to your budget and how much you plan on spending each quarter.


Being a small business owner is a tough job. That's why we spotlight a different business each month to help you learn about unique businesses in your own back yard.
Rushcreek Feed & Supply is a landmark in Bremen that has been evolving to meet the needs of customers for over fifty years.
This gentleman would know. He has weathered much change in his business, his town and the economy for over five decades. In 1961, Bob and four other Bremen area farmers partnered to purchase the Brown-Burnworth Company, which included office space and a mill that operated out of facilities constructed in the mid and late 1800's. The five farmers organized and began operating what is now known as Rushcreek Feed & Supply, a mill that processes and creates seed and mix for the agricultural community.
The business has seen various incarnations of the ownership group but Bob, who just celebrated his 92nd birthday, has remained the only constant and is the sole owner to this day. His business has continuously evolved, installing new machinery, adopting new processes, and acquiring property to allow growth and efficiency, allowing them to stand out as a staple in rural small town living.
The expansion and rock-steady quality service are due in large part to a great group of people working for their team, Terry said. "We've got our locals (customers). But we've also got people from Franklin, Licking, Meigs, Athens, Muskingum Counties that are regulars." Customers are getting quality products, but it's the quality service from the twelve Rushcreek Feed & Supply employees that make the sustained success possible. "It works because we've got a great staff" Terry added.
If you'd like to visit Rushcreek Feed & Supply, they're located at 103 S. Broad Street in Bremen, just across the parking lot from our Friendly Bremen Banking Center. They can be contacted at 740.569.4105 and can be found on Facebook and at their own website http://www.rushcreekfeed.com/.

We tell ourselves we need a break, to get away from it all. An escape. A change of scenery, depending on your particular preference a spot of sand and sun or there are even those who will enjoy that oxymoron of a vacation, the walking holiday.
But… any type of 'get-away' is not really a break is it? Because the first time we can get Willy Wonka's golden ticket of the day – a Wi-Fi connection – we are back to where we were before we jumped on the plane and 'escaped'. You see I realised the other day while in Rome that as soon as I was back in the hotel room and connected to the three W's I might as well have been sitting back in my house in Spain and not a thousand kilometres away in one of the world's great cities.
What happened to those crackly phone calls back home from the back of beyond, or Cornwall as it's also known, to worried parents to assure them we have arrived safely. Nowadays they know the instant we land and hook in to the airport's Wi-Fi network, oh and by the way here's a couple of selfies of us on arrival!
But there's no surprises any more is there when you get back home? Nothing's changed, no one has anything new to say, we've seen what's happening on our social media or been told via WhatsApp, and the holiday is already yesterday's news because all our folks have followed our adventure on FaceTweet or some other form of social media.
We don't really get away from anything do we? Sure when we're abroad, and we've turned off data roaming because it's about the same price as a lawyer per minute, and perhaps are climbing a mountain or spending the day on a beach then we are effectively 'having a break'. But… and we all do it, as soon as we see that magic mushroom telling us we are back to 'civilisation' we start that new walk that we all do; head down phone at sixty degrees and a finger scrolling to what you will look at first.
No longer does dad have to hope the plane will be on time as he heads to the nearest airport to pick you up. Oh no, nowadays even my dad at eighty years old will use an app on his phone to track the whole flight. If he can do that, why are we even bothering to worry about the authorities being allowed to track our online activities; they can do that whenever they want. My dad will help them set up the app.
But…we no longer have to carry around a map (one that was never designed to be refolded) or a guide book, we can just use Trip Advisor to see where the best places to eat, drink and be entertained are and at what coordinates. Does that take away the 'adventure' side of going on holiday? Of finding out for yourself what a place is like without having read all the reviews somewhere online? Or where that famous back street eaterie is? Now we lock on like an Exocet missile and home in with pinpoint accuracy knowing, because Trip Advisor has told us, that the owner is called Francisco and how long exactly he has had the bar. Handy, because you've checked, they speak English there too. Not quite exploring new territories for yourself is it though?
No stumbling through sentences learnt rapidly on the plane with your Collin's Phrase Book which always had on the first page the essential questions like, 'Where can I buy a stamp?' or 'Excuse me sir, but my mother-in-law is in need of an ambulance' when clearly shouting and pointing would get the message over far more quickly for the latter. These days we can speak into our translator and show the recipient our Google Translator results, which is usually fine unless you make the putting-an-A-on-the-end-'Chicken' error with Spanish.
When was the last time you wrote a post card when on holiday? What's the point really as your InstaBook photos will be there way before them, and for free, and you haven't got to sit and write the same message several times to the allocated recipients of your chosen photo of Torquay.
What about those often humorous times fumbling your way through back streets trying to work out where you are. Not long ago I ended up in a street in Barcelona lined either side by women (I think they all were; either by birth or by surgeon) offering their services which (as my Spanish at the time was poor) sounded neither honourable, legal or often even possible… but with a SatNav in our pocket we can miss all that (other experiences are available…).
The Selfie Stick is an interesting phenomenon. Where people take pics of themselves, usually pulling a face or kissing their partner, at some point of interest and then send it off to whoever they think will be interested. My recent trip to Rome showed just how popular it is with Japanese tourists lined up with the Coliseum behind them and what looked like a mobile phone paparazzi held out in front of them. The beauty and sheer impressiveness of the ancient colossus surely only enhanced by two goofy smiles dominating the image in the foreground.
We can even use it to pay the bill in the restaurant, check in at the airport, order a cab or theatre tickets or even book that paragliding trip for the mother-in-law. We can keep all our contacts in one handy place and call up any information that we desire to help us enjoy our break. It's all there in one small package in our pocket.
No mother in laws were harmed in the writing of this piece. ;).


The Princeton offense has essentially two sets: "high" and "low". The offense also has two lesser sets: "open", and top flare situations. In "low" and "high", the post's position determines which set is run. Top flare situations and "open" act as bridges between sets.
"Low" is shown here. This set usually begins each possession. In this set, the guards are high and are one step outside the lane-line extended. The off-guard stays one step behind the guard with the ball. The wings are free-throw line extended and are one step from the sideline. The post is in the midpost.
In "high", the post has moved from the midpost to the ballside elbow.
The spacing and positions of the other four players remains the same.
"Open" acts as a bridge between sets and usually occurs as a result of a top-flare situation, if the man using the flare cuts to the basket.
In a top-flare situation, a back-cutting, or flared player has posted up, while the post screens to get the top man (2) open.
Both "open", and top flare situations will be discussed in greater detail later.

The muscle release oil contains precious nourishing oils that are combined with active plant extracts in order to achieve an optimal effect for the relaxation of the muscles. Avocado oil, jojoba oil and rose hip seed oil keep the skin elastic, provide moisture and increase the protective functions of the skin. The active oil extracts from juniper and mountain pine oil have a warming effect that promotes circulation. The oil is the ideal care after athletic activities and in case of tensed muscles. The nourishing oil can be distributed in the most even manner on damp skin. The resulting water/oil emulsion can be absorbed more easily into the skin.

Incidence of stroke in paroxysmal versus sustained atrial fibrillation in patients taking oral anticoagulation or combined antiplatelet therapy: an ACTIVE W Substudy.
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2007 Nov 27; 50(22):2156-61.JACC
Our goal was to determine the risk of stroke or non-cerebral embolism associated with paroxysmal compared with sustained atrial fibrillation (AF).
The risk of stroke and non-cerebral embolism and the efficacy of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in paroxysmal AF as compared with sustained AF are not precisely known.
The ACTIVE W (Atrial Fibrillation Clopidogrel Trial With Irbesartan for Prevention of Vascular Events) was a trial comparing OAC to combined antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel for prevention of vascular events in 6,706 AF patients. The incidence of thromboembolic events and major bleeds were compared in patients with paroxysmal AF (n = 1,202) and persistent or permanent AF (n = 5,495).
Patients with paroxysmal AF were younger, had a shorter AF history, more hypertension, and less valvular disease, heart failure, and diabetes mellitus than patients with sustained AF. At baseline, patients with paroxysmal AF had a CHADS2 (cardiac failure, hypertension, age, diabetes, stroke [doubled]) risk score of 1.79 +/- 1.03 compared with 2.04 +/- 1.12 in patients with sustained AF (p < 0.00001). The annualized risk of stroke or non-central nervous system (CNS) systemic embolism was 2.0 in paroxysmal AF compared with 2.2 in sustained AF (relative risk 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59 to 1.30, p = 0.496). After adjusting for confounding baseline variables, the relative risk was 0.94 (95% CI 0.63 to 1.40, p = 0.755). The incidence of stroke and non-CNS embolism was lower for patients treated with OAC irrespective of type of AF. There were more bleedings of any type in patients receiving clopidogrel plus aspirin, irrespective of the type of AF.
Patients with paroxysmal AF treated with aspirin plus clopidogrel or OAC have a similar risk for thromboembolic events than patients with sustained AF. This risk can be significantly lowered with OAC. (The ACTIVE W trial; http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00243178;NCT00243178).

In the past, Washington has sought to influence international judicial bodies through back channels and low-key intrigue, but with the arrival of the new administration, "interference and attacks are now in the open," says UK journalist Neil Clark.
You know, it's the empire with its mask off.
Christopher Black, an international criminal lawyer, shed more light on how the US, a country that has signed but not ratified the ICC Statute, manipulated the body. They did it "first of all through key personnel they have placed in the ICC, for example the prosecutors, some judges who are willing to do what they want."
When soft power doesn't work, the hard one comes into play, he explained. "A judge in my case was threatened by Americans working there that if certain passages in the judgement acquitting the general I was defending were not removed he would face physical problems."
This is the type of gangsterism they use to get their way in these tribunals.
Both analysts said Washington used the ICC rulings to hammer down defiant regimes all around the world, including in former Yugoslavia, Rwanda or Sierra Leone. That aside, there were instances of ICC decisions disrupting peace efforts in some of the worst conflicts, Clark added.
Back in 2011, the journalist recalled, deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi tried to set up negotiations with the armed opposition. Only one day later, "the ICC Prosecutor sought an arrest warrant against Gaddafi and his son and intelligence chief for crimes against humanity, therefore sabotaging any hopes for a peaceful resolution."
He found it conspicuous that the warrant followed attempts by the Libyan regime to negotiate with the rebels and seek to end the war, which "could save so many lives." Gaddafi was then murdered by a mob of rebels and Libya, once a vibrant North African country, descended into chaos.
"It goes way back. Ever since the international courts and bodies have been established, the US has tried to interfere and to use them for political purposes," Clark said.
For his part, Black said claims that the US is bringing international justice bodies to heel are not unfounded.
Not only was a judge in my case at the Rwanda tribunal pressured but I myself was threatened by the CIA while I was there to stop raising questions and presenting evidence they [the US side] did not like.
Incidentally, Judge Fluegge has been the one who voiced dissenting opinions during the controversial trials by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). He repeatedly refused to admit genocide of Bosnian Muslims by Serbian forces in Srebrenica, having been removed from a number of proceedings.
Critics of the ICTY pointed out that most of those indicted were Serbs or Montenegrins, and many have seen this as reflecting bias against former Yugoslav leadership.
Likewise, the ICC "have only gone after certain African leaders who stand in the way of EU or US interests," Black noticed, while "war criminals like [Rwandan president] Paul Kagame and [former president of Uganda] Yoweri Museveni who have killed millions of people are protected."
Out of the people who have been indicted by The Hague-based court, "an incredibly high percentage … have been black African leaders who have not been the allies of the US," Clark said. "If you're a black African leader who doesn't do what the US [wants to do], you'll be before the ICC. If you're a white, European, Israeli or whatever, you won't be in front of it."
The US and Israel, "two of the biggest culprits of international law," disregard the ICC jurisdiction, the British journalist repeated. It raises big questions about the international justice system where "the worst transgressors of international law are not being put up before the court." Such system cannot have any credibility at all, Clark argued, saying "law has to be applied equally to all."

I listened to the end of an interview today with Gretchen Rubin. She wrote a book called Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives.
What caught my attention was the phrase "better than before".
As I listened it was clear she became a happier person by focusing on what she wanted to make her feel better and happier.
As she identified what she wanted to experience she decided to do something about it.
Since it involved change it required her to do things differently.
she used her will to create a new habit that supported that desire.
Over time the habit became a part of her everyday life.
happier about herself and her life.
What she described is what I am experiencing in my own life.
Three years ago I started making one decision at a time.
I kept working at it everyday until it became a habit. When it became a part of my daily life...my way of being... I felt better. That made it easier to find something else I wanted to change.
The old me would decide to change everything all at once.
Of course that never worked. I ended up frustrated, angry and paralyzed.
I became happier and healthier.
What one thing would make you feel better now?
Decide to do whatever you can to support yourself in accomplishing that one thing.
Focus on that one thing until you master it.

Increased solar and wind electricity generation in California are changing net load shapes
Source: California Independent System Operator (CAISO), Daily Renewables Watch
Republished December 9, 2014, 12:10 p.m. to clarify text, correct graph
As more solar and wind electric generating capacity is added in California, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the electric grid operator for most of the state, is facing an increasingly different net load shape. Net load—the total electric demand in the system minus wind and solar generation—represents the demand that CAISO must meet with other, dispatchable sources such as natural gas, hydropower, and imported electricity from outside the system.
Wind and solar plants do not incur any fuel costs to generate electricity, and, when available, they are among the first resources that grid operators use. Utility-scale solar has exhibited particularly significant growth in the past year, with hourly solar output reaching nearly 5 gigawatts (GW) by the end of September 2014. This amount represents more than 10% of the system's 2014 year-to-date hourly peak demand, and it is more than two-thirds higher than the peak hourly solar output level in 2013.
This capacity does not include smaller-scale (e.g., residential) distributed photovoltaic (PV) capacity that does not participate directly in CAISO's market. However, such behind-the-meter capacity impacts both the load and net load shape by reducing the overall system demand during periods when the sun is shining. The Solar Energy Industries Association estimated approximately 1.2 GWAC (1.4 GWDC) of residential capacity was installed in California through the second quarter of 2014, as well as a similar level of non-residential, non-utility installations—although CAISO data may partially account for the latter depending on individual interconnection arrangements.
Generation from solar units tends to coincide with electricity demand, producing electricity during daylight hours and achieving maximum output around midday. In the summer, when CAISO's load shape is driven by the demand for cooling, electricity demand tends to have a single peak in midafternoon. Solar output reduces the effective peak demand—and therefore reduces the generation needed from dispatchable units.
Electricity demand in nonsummer months (with lower cooling demand) tends to have a different shape. Both overall and peak demand tend to be lower, and it is common to see both an upward morning ramp and a higher peak in the early evening as people return home from work. Solar-generated electricity lowers the net load at midday, but as the sun goes down and solar generation declines, there is a much steeper ramp in net load to meet the peak demand in the evening. The emergence of this pattern was quite visible in the months of fall 2013 through spring 2014.

CAISO officials have projected this shift in net load and expect the trend to become more pronounced as more solar and wind capacity is added to meet the state's 33%-by-2020 renewable portfolio standard. California's changing net load patterns are expected to create a greater need for flexible, dispatchable capacity to manage operational and reliability challenges. The anticipated need for additional flexibility in CAISO could be amplified, as 17.5 GW of thermal generating capacity is impacted by the State Water Resources Control Board's once-through cooling requirements.
In the past few years, California's legislature, public utilities commission, and CAISO have initiated the following policies and frameworks that could mitigate challenges associated with this changing net load shape.
Increased focus on flexible resources. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has adopted a flexible capacity framework to start in 2015, requiring CPUC-jurisdictional load serving entities (LSEs) to procure a certain level of flexible capacity when meeting resource adequacy needs. In addition, CAISO implemented a flexible ramping constraint in its real-time market at the end of 2011, which allowed for the procurement of upward ramping capability from online resources to meet ramping needs in real time. CAISO is further considering introducing upward and downward ramping products into its market processes, including the day-ahead market.
Storage mandate. CPUC has mandated that the state's three investor-owned utilities procure 1.325 GW of energy storage at various interconnection levels (transmission, distribution, customer-sited) by 2020.
Market design enhancements for intra-hour scheduling. On May 1, 2014, CAISO implemented a 15-minute market for generators, imports, exports, and participating loads as part of its compliance with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order No. 764, which required intra-hour scheduling options to aid the integration of renewable resources into the grid.
Creation of an energy imbalance market. On November 1, 2014, CAISO and PacifiCorp formally launched an energy imbalance market (EIM) between the two balancing authorities (to be expanded to also include NV Energy in October 2015) to create a market mechanism that is effectively able to use the generation resources of both balancing authorities, utilizing a more diverse set of resources to address short-term supply and demand imbalances.
Time-of-use pricing. California has enacted legislation enabling the CPUC to authorize utilities to default (with the option to opt out) residential customers to a time-of-use rate schedule starting in 2018. Under time-of-use rates, customers' time-varying rates will reflect variation in the cost of generation (unlike traditional rate structures), and may be more likely to shift consumption hours away from periods when peak generation is required from dispatchable units, thereby reducing the amount of resources necessary to meet load.
Demand response. California enacted legislation in September 2014 directing the CPUC to include demand response in its assessment of resource adequacy requirements and to establish a set of rules and tariff policies to encourage the efficient and cost-effective deployment of demand response resources.

UnionPay is said to be launching a drive to combat money laundering and illegal bank card use in Macau. Picture: Bloomberg

Gaming stocks slide on UnionPay crackdown, Macau visitor control
Gaming stocks suffered steep losses in Hong Kong Thursday after reports that UnionPay, China's state-backed domestic bank card organization, is stepping up efforts to crack down on illegal payments.
Sentiment on the sector was also hit by news that the Macau government will tighten entry regulations for transit visitors.
Galaxy Entertainment (00027.HK) was down 8.84 percent at HK$54.65 (US$7.05) as of 2:17pm, while Sands China (00027.HK) fell 6.08 percent to HK$51.75, Bloomberg data shows.
UnionPay announced a raft of measures in what it described as a "committed" drive to combat overseas money laundering, capital flight and other illegal bank card use in Macau, the South China Morning Post reported Thursday, citing a UnionPay insider.
The anti-corruption drive launched by President Xi Jinping had taken the problem of payment card transactions to worrying levels. The amount involved in the illicit payment could have been more than 40 billion yuan last year, the report said, citing sources and unnamed analysts.
Officially reported gaming revenue in Macau stood at US$45 billion last year, but an analyst has estimated there was a further US$90 billion unreported, the report said.
Meanwhile, mainland visitors who enter Macau with a third-country visa may only be allowed to stay in the city for three to five days, instead of seven days, Southern Metropolis Daily reported Tuesday, citing police authorities in Macau.
The Macau government is now studying the measure, which is expected to be put in place in July, the report said. The move comes after China's state television broadcaster CCTV aired an exposé on the increasingly popular method of entering Macau and Hong Kong.
It is said that about 2.1 million visitors enter the gambling enclave with a transit visa to a third country, instead of going through the individual visitor scheme or tour groups.
Macau's expected new rule is, however, likely to have only a limited impact on the city's gambling and tourism industry, according to the report.

2019: Beware of Buhari/APC, Atiku/PDP!
An American online digital information platform, Popular Science, has warned that radical political views of all sorts seem to shaping lives to an almost unprecedented extent.
This might be a timely warning to some Nigerian citizens who appear to be transfixed already about President Muhammadu Buhari/All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar/Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who are battling for the political soul of the country.
Like the news platform rightly asked, what really attracts people to the fringes? A new study from researchers at University College London offers some insight into one characteristic of those who hold extreme beliefs—their metacognition, or ability to evaluate whether or not they might be wrong.
"Widening polarisation about political, religious, and scientific issues threatens open societies, leading to entrenchment of beliefs, reduced mutual understanding, and a pervasive negativity surrounding the very idea of consensus," the researchers write.
However, understanding the role metacognition plays in the polarisation may help in stepping back from it.

IBM Engineer Who Designed The Universal Product Code Dies At 94
Published December 12, 2019 at 1:33 PM PST
Al Santos
George Laurer in 2011 at the University of Maryland's Innovation Hall of Fame. His many inventions, including the Universal Product Code, led to his induction into the hall in 1991.
On a June morning in 1974, a Marsh Supermarket cashier in Troy, Ohio, rang up a 67-cent pack of Juicy Fruit chewing gum using something novel — the black and white stripes of a universal bar code.
The Universal Product Code is now a packaging mainstay on everything from cereal boxes and produce to electronics and airplane tickets, but it might not have worked without IBM engineer George Laurer.
Laurer, who died this month at 94 in North Carolina, had been given an assignment by his manager: Write a proposal for grocery executives explaining how IBM would take a previously invented bar code pattern, in the shape of a bull's-eye, and make it work in supermarkets across the country.
But when that manager returned from a vacation, Laurer was there to meet him. "I didn't do what you asked," he said.
Instead, Laurer had created something else — the bull's-eye was gone and in its place was a linear bar code. Laurer had deemed the bull's-eye design unworkable. The circular code, inspired by Morse code and patented by N. Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver in 1952, was too small, and it would smear when run through the poor-quality printing presses used for most food labels at the time.
"My nature and my training would not allow me to support something I didn't believe in," Laurer said in a 2010 interview. "I simply went against my manager's instruction and set out to design a better system."
In a rented space in Raleigh, Laurer and a team of IBM colleagues refined and tested the design. Woodland, who created that first bull's-eye bar code and whom Laurer called the father of the supermarket scanning system, came on board to help.
When it came time to present to the team of grocery executives, Laurer said his boss "made it clear that if I was wrong or I could not sell the idea to the brass, it would end my career, not his. My arguments must have been persuasive."
In 1973, the grocery industry settled on the bar code pitched by Laurer and IBM. Between 1976 and 1980, the number of stores using IBM's bar code jumped from 104 to 2,207. The codes even caused a campaign trail gaffe in 1992, when President George H.W. Bush was reportedly astounded by a bar code scanner during a tour of a grocery convention, playing into a narrative that Bush was out of touch with regular people. (It later turned out the scanner he was confronted with had advanced features not yet available.)
Jay Pickthorn / AP
Tags with bar codes hang at a facility in Flandreau, S.D. Introduced in the early 1970s, the linear bar code remains a retail staple and is scanned more than 6 billion times per day.
Decades later, most UPC's still employ the 12-digit number and 30 black bars Laurer designed.
George Laurer was born in New York City, survived polio as a teenager and was drafted into the Army in World War II. After his discharge, he was unemployed when he enrolled in a television and radio repair course. His instructor persuaded him to quit, get his high school equivalency diploma and go to college. In 1951, he graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in electrical engineering. Laurer worked at IBM in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park until 1987.
His son Craig Laurer told NPR that the UPC code is an example of the way Laurer always thought: "Get to the core of a problem and find the one key element that prevented a good solution. And overcome it."
Laurer said his father was a lifelong tinkerer, up until his final days. When he bought an RV, he immediately took out the bed over the front cab and built in a special storage unit. He was always repairing cars, both his and other people's; he built radios and the family's first television.
"He basically never owned anything he didn't customize or tweak to better serve his needs," Craig Laurer told NPR. "He was always coming up with something. He was humble and really generous and he just hit it off with everybody."
Over his lifetime, Laurer received more than two dozen patents. But he never got rich from his most famous breakthrough. That's because IBM didn't patent the UPC and mostly gave it away to sell scanning equipment. Laurer didn't get recognition for his innovation until decades later.
Even once stores widely adopted the UPC, Craig Laurer said, his father didn't think it would have the longevity it ultimately has. "He expected it to be supplanted with some other technology within a decade or so," he said. "Instead, it grew beyond the grocery industry into all retail and then worldwide."
Today, the UPCs Laurer designed are scanned more than 6 billion times a day, according to the nonprofit organization GS1, which manages the codes.
"My father always said he would go to the supermarket, and just stand there when they checked him out, knowing that it was his invention," Craig Laurer said. "But he'd stand there in awe and say, 'This just can't work this well.' It amazed even him."
And the scanner used to ring up that 10-piece packet of Juicy Fruit back in 1974? It's now in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

What are the DApps? An evolution of the applications?
December 28, 2018 0Comments by Mercury Cash
The current world is dominated by technology, everything we look for we have it at our fingertips (literally) with access to the Internet on our Smartphone, but in order to take advantage of all these things we have access to, we use small programs that are known as applications or more commonly: Apps.
An application is a small program that runs on any mobile device and allows different functions to be executed: entertainment, communication, work and much more, nowadays there are applications even to help users lose weight or to concentrate when meditating.
1 Dapps: decentralized applications
2 Main characteristics of the DApps
3 Decentralized
4 Blockchain protocol
5 They are open source
6 Types of DApps
7 Type I
8 Type II
9 Type III
Dapps: decentralized applications
The common feature that applications like WhatsApp, Tinder, Facebook and most popular applications have is that they are "centralized". All of them depend on a central entity that makes decisions regarding what happens to them and their users must accept the terms and conditions of use if they want to continue using them.
The word DApps is an acronym, such as email (electronic mail) which means Decentralized Applications and it is basically open source applications where the community of users is the one who makes the decisions about what happens with them, since they work on the Bitcoin network and are based on intelligent contracts, of which we speak more extensively in the previous article titled What are smart contracts? Where we explain the fact that the intermediary is eliminated, having a direct relationship between both parties involved.
Main characteristics of the DApps
Under this premise, the DApps so that they can be considered as such, must comply with certain basic characteristics that differentiate them from current applications and allow their users to obtain benefits from them and make decisions about what will eventually happen (if payments will be made) or if its operation will be modified). Next we will mention the most important ones so that you can differentiate them from an application and you can understand their advantages to start using them.
Decentralized
To familiarize ourselves a little more with the decentralized model we can consult the previous article entitled decentralized systems and its relation with the Blockchain where we talk extensively about the decentralization issue in which there is no need for a central entity to decide what should be done with The future of the application is that it is consulted with the members of the community and put to vote and then, after a consensus, the changes are applied.
Blockchain protocol
Precisely because it is based on a decentralized model, decisions on the fate of the application. Being developed on a chain, all members of it must approve any change that you want to make on the application. The best example of this is Bitcoin mining: the miners do a series of mathematical operations that allow them to solve a complex problem that will eventually allow a new block to be added to the block chain, but it is not added until it's it has been approved in consensus by all the members of the community.
They are open source
For an application to be considered as a DApp, its code must be open and available to the entire community, who can make changes to it to make improvements. This is what makes the difference with traditional applications where the access to the application code only has its developers or the owners of the company and only they decide when they do better or when they send updates.
Types of DApps
The DApps are classified into 3 fundamental types: Type I, Type II and Type III and these are identified if they have their own blockchain or depend on the others, that is, they work in a nested way. To give an example, it is as if it were an operating system. Imagine Microsoft and its Windows system, there are programs such as Office (this would be the Type II DApps). In turn, these programs can be installed extensions or download templates, this would be Type III DApps. Below a more specific definition of each type.
A type I DApp is the one that could be considered the main one of all, since it is the one that owns its own chain of blocks. The oldest known is Bitcoin, but Ethereum and some of the other altcoins that have developed their own blockchains such as Litecoin, Dash, Monero and others also fall into this classification.
This type of DApp is characterized by not having a chain of blocks of its own but uses the chain of blocks of a type I DApp. Although they could also generate their own tokens, they most commonly use the chain in which they operate. Two of the most common type II DApps are Omni Layer, which is built on the Bitcoin network and the Raiden Network that is located in the Ethereum block chain.
Just as type II DApps do not have their own block chain, but this depends on Type II to generate their tokens. It's like the example we put of the Office extensions in an operating system: they could generate their own payment systems, and cryptocurrencies, but always based on a type II DApp.
The most common are known Safe Network that is supported by Omni Layer and has its own cryptocurrency that is the safecoin, which also has its application distributed. Another is the uRaiden or micro Raiden that is based on the Raiden Network and generates unidirectional payments on bidirectional payment networks.
What do you think about this topic? Are there any other functionality of the DApps that we have not mentioned?

How to Develop Time Management Skills for Competitive Exams?
Home Exam Preparation Tips How to Develop Time Management Skills for Competitive Exams?
The word "Competitive Exams" itself denotes the huge competition that takes place to crack these exams. Competitive exams are held to select candidates for pursuing a particular course or a job. Usually, most competitive exams have a huge syllabus to complete. On top of that, these exams need you to answer around 100 (sometimes even more) questions within a duration of 2-3 hours.
But, despite good preparation, candidates sometimes fail to answer their exams well due to a shortage of time. This is a common problem for a lot of candidates. This is because we focus only on completing the entire syllabus for the exam without taking time-management into consideration. As a result, we sometimes end up answering less than we know. which affects our marks and our selection to further levels.
The beginning of good preparation starts with a good study plan in place. Make a study plan that's flexible and adds variety to your study schedule. Avoid studying a single subject for the entire week. Take up 2-3 subjects and try to complete a chapter or two from each. Incorporate variation in your learning process to make your study sessions interesting.
What is 20×23? If you can't answer this within 5 seconds, you need to memorize the tables and formulas soon. If you are taking any competitive exam, try to memorize tables up to 25, this will save you a lot of time. Also, practice doing calculations in your head without the need to jot down everything in pen and paper.
Finally, mock tests are the best-proven way to improve your time management skills in the exam. The more mock tests you practice, the more you'll be able to identify your weak points and rectify it. Also, with time, you will improve your timings drastically. So make sure that mock test practice is a part of every exam preparation, be it for your school college or job.
Try these methods mentioned above and you'll be able to improve your time management skills with time.

The Boyz Signs With Japanese Label Even Before Korean Debut
by EuniceCha
The Boyz has signed an exclusive Japanese contract with Sony Music even before the group's debut in Korea!
On December 4, Cre.ker Entertainment announced, "The Boyz recently signed a local management contract with Sony Music, Japan's largest record company."
Typically, K-pop groups sign Japanese management and distribution contracts after first debuting in Korea and achieving a certain amount of fame. However, The Boyz received an offer from Sony even before their official debut.
Representatives for Sony Music stated, "Upon our first meeting with The Boyz, we were confident that they would become a 'super idol' group that will be active not only across Asia, but throughout the entire global market, which is why we moved forward with this contract."
They continued, "Because the group is composed of 12 members who possess a diverse array of talents, we highly anticipate their future growth. We plan to give them our full support so that they can promote actively in Japan."
The Boyz has reportedly also received an impressive number of offers from advertisers considering that they have yet to make their official debut.
The group will debut on December 6 at 6 p.m. KST with mini-album "THE FIRST," featuring the title track "Boy." Member Sunwoo, who appeared on the Mnet show "High School Rapper," reportedly contributed to the song's lyrics.
Other members who are well-known to the public include Ju Haknyeon, a former contestant on "Produce 101 Season 2," and Younghoon, who appeared in the music videos for I.O.I's "Whatta Man" and John Park's "DND."
Are you looking forward to The Boyz's debut?
