Gul in a condom advt?
Home / News and Media / Gul in a condom advt?
Actress Gul Panag, who's done a TV commercial with Aamir Khan, says that she'd love to do some more of them with the 'thinking Khan'.
"I'll certainly do a commercial with Aamir – even if it's for something like condoms! And on the subject of condoms, people ought to learn to talk about condoms openly," she says. The idea of a condom commercial is, in part, based on her hope that it'll send out a message to the Censor Board. "The Censor Board needs to operate in a more rational manner," she explains. "On one hand, we have population control initiatives, and on the other, the Censor Board chops a scene in Hello for a dialogue that has the word 'condom' in it. Isn't that illogical?"
That's precisely what this girl is known for – speaking her mind. She says she wouldn't do an item song if she's offered one, either. "I don't like item numbers in the first place, and I don't know how to dance. Why should I even learn to dance? These latkas and jhatkas may be shortcuts to success, but they aren't my cup of tea. And most importantly, they don't go well with my image, which is essentially that of an intellectual," she says.
Indeed! But Gul's not just saying it – she's trying to live up to that image too. The Delhi gal is currently reading Catch 22 which, she says, isn't a bit reader-friendly. "Every time I start reading the book, I can't go beyond a few pages." Is it lack of focus? "No, no. I'm a voracious reader. It's just that the book is too complex. I thoroughly enjoyed Three Mistakes Of My Life, which I read before this."
Gul's next flick, Straight – Ek Tedhi Medhi Love Story, which is set in London, revolves around a male protagonist who's confused about his sexuality. Would it have been difficult to shoot a movie with a subject like that in Delhi? "I don't think we would have faced any problem in Delhi. I have seen more men holding hands here than anywhere in India. I'm not saying they're homosexuals, but this public display of affection isn't new. Since Straight… isn't a big budget movie, it might not have attracted too much attention even if we had shot in the city," she says.
Has she ever seen a gay parade? "I've seen it in New York, but didn't participate in it," she replies. And the first Delhi gay parade last year? "Was there one in Delhi too? Oh yeah, I remember reading about it somewhere. It's great that people are ready to treat homosexuality sensibly. I'm sure there'll be a change in perception on a wider scale," she says.
The lady is also quite impressed by the Pink Chaddi campaign. "I may not have sent one (a pink chaddi), but I do feel that the campaign has been a success. Otherwise, the situation is pretty bad. The other day, I was at a pub having a drink, and I told my driver that if you sense the slightest sign of trouble outside, tell me and I will jump out of the car and run away. One ought to understand that there's nothing one can do to combat a mob alone, and so one should be a little careful too."

Eight-year-old South Florida coffee roasting company Koffee Kult Coffee Roasters will have an opportunity to greatly expand its following with the coming NHL season after reaching an exclusive sponsorship deal with the Florida Panthers.
In a recent announcement of the sponsorship deal — financial terms of which have not been disclosed — the Hollywood, Florida-based roaster said it is the first time it has gotten into the major sponsorship game.
Sure, the deal will allow Koffee Kult to sell directly to Canadian tourists escaping to cold to sunny Miami to catch their beloved Canucks, Maple Leafs, Oilers, or whomever. But it will also allow Koffee Kult to attract guests on hand for other acts passing through the Panthers' home venue, the BB&T Center — acts including Shakira, Def Leppard or Disney on Ice. Who wouldn't want a wild barrel-aged Myanmar Ywangan or an complex Tanzania Peaberry with their Phil Collins concert?

PCB | May 03, 2012
Innokas Medical installs new line
Editor: Staff Editor
Innokas Medical has installed a new PCB assembly line.
Innokas Medical's Kempele plant has undergone a transformation this spring. The old PCB assembly line was moved to the other side of the hall and a new line was erected next to it, positioned so that both lines use the same oven and "paste" printing machine. "The new line is faster and easier to program and its user interfaces are better. Flexibility, not maximum speed, was the main reason for the investment. We change products on the line many times a day, and in that respect the new line has more intelligence. For example, it automatically knows where in the machine components are located at any given moment," operator Janne Sarajärvi explains. The demand for PCBs in products manufactured by Innokas Medical has grown steadily. A little over a year ago the company had one assembly line, located in Kempele. A second line was taken into use when the Rakvere plant in Estonia was expanded, and now the third line is situated in Kempele. Innokas Medical has been providing supplementary training for its staff in Kempele and fine-tuning the new line since the beginning of this year. The new line will run in two shifts. The old line and the Rakvere line will be run in one shift. Thus there is plenty of spare capacity, and Innokas Medical will be able to respond to increased demand quickly.
Innokas Medical opened an office in England
Innokas' Design Service Unit takes off quickly
Innokas' Rakvere plant expansion open for business

Pygmalion Festival / Profiles / Previews / Writing
The queen's in town: PygLit hosts Kim Chinquee
September 19, 2016 / 12:00pm / By Shelly Chang
It's no secret that Pygmalion has been host to royalty of all types. From up-and-coming musicians to well-known artists, there's never a lack of interesting and talented people who contribute to every part of the festival. This year's Pyg Lit Fest will be no different, as it will feature its first appearance of writer Kim Chinquee. Known for her flash fiction (pieces that are usually a few hundred words or less), she is regularly published by literary magazines such as Noon, Denver Quarterly, Conjunctions, and over a hundred other anthologies and journals. On top of being the senior editor for New World Writing, she has also published collections of her own short stories, including Oh Baby, Pretty, and Pistol. A future short fiction collection titled Milk will be published by Ravenna Press in 2017. Smile Politely got the opportunity to find out about Kim's style, her workshop roots, and her observations on writing prior to her appearance this week.
Smile Politely: Various sources have called you the "Queen of Flash." How has your status as a flash fiction writer affected your other genres of work?
Kim Chinquee: I came upon writing flash fiction in Mary Robison's graduate workshop at USM's Center for Writers. It was never my intention to write flash fiction, but I grew to love the form, and appreciate what I learned by cutting, and how that can change a piece. In general, it's taught me to take greater risks when writing longer work.
SP: How would you characterize the style of writing you aim to put on the page?
KC: I never aim for a particular style. I just try to be true to my characters and to the page.
SP: Since this is your first time reading at Pygmalion, what are your expectations? How do you usually present at a venue?
KC: I was a student of the inaugural U of I MFA writing class in 2002, was part of the birth of Ninth Letter, and was the first student to graduate from the program, so it's an honor to return as a reader, with Jean Thompson. She was the first person I met in Champaign. I'm thrilled to be a part.
In presenting, I try to engage as if I'm letting my listeners into a dream. And hopefully a dream they can follow, and one that fascinates.
SP: What is your main concern when writing a piece?
KC: Sensory details, being present in a scene. Standing in each character's shoes. Compassion, complexity, menace. I guess I don't have one main concern. I just try to write with depth and honesty and maybe humor, if it feels right. I try to imagine being the reader, and where the piece may be lacking.
SP: Which story of yours did you enjoy writing the most and why? Do you ever draw upon your personal life?
KC: Can't really say I enjoyed writing one over the other. I mostly just enjoy what I'm currently writing, and it's more work than enjoyment. I probably enjoyed writing more when I first started writing, because it really wasn't work then, nor was it very good and I didn't have the skills to know how to fine-tune it. I do enjoy trying to bring humor into a piece, but that's probably not my strongest skill. Sometimes writing, at least for me, is the most grueling thing and I'd rather hoe the yard and clean my kitchen cabinets.
In some ways I draw upon my personal life: I grew up on a dairy farm, was in the Air Force, worked in the medical field, was a stand-in cop. Am a mom. Those experiences and the places I know show up in my work without my intention. But not always. To me it's more about the art and it's fun to make stuff up.That's what's so great about fiction.
Kim Chinquee will present at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts Colwell Playhouse (500 S. Goodwin, Urbana). The free event will start at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, and include a reading by Jean Thompson. For more information on Kim and her writing, visit her official website.

An Interview with Sebadoh: Beauty Of The Ride
Gregg McQueen
Sebadoh is a name of considerable renown within the indie rock world.
Early classics like Sebadoh III employed a largely acoustic blueprint to deliver the band's melodic-yet-crunchy message, as the group's liberal use of four-track recording and modest equipment helped establish them as trailblazers of the "lo-fi" sound, along with acts such as Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel.
Subsequent favorites Bakesale and Harmacy added more electric guitars and further refined the one-two punch of co-frontmen Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein, unleashing the lethal combination of Barlow's subtle pop genius and Loewenstein's knack for biting rockers.
Following the release of The Sebadoh in 1999, the group went on semi-hiatus, occasionally playing gigs but releasing no studio output. Fans starved for new material can now rejoice, as on Sept. 17, the band unveiled Defend Yourself, their first full-length in 14 years. Barlow, Loewenstein and new drummer Bob D'Amico have created a new gem that stands up to the outfit's legacy.
In a recent phone chat, Loewenstein provided the scoop on the band's triumphant return to the studio, secrets of the Sebadoh sound, and why you might see him strolling down the streets of Brooklyn with a pig on a leash. The transcription is below:
First of all, congratulations on the new record. Often, when a band makes an album after a long absence, they can't recapture the magic they once had, but Defend Yourself revives that Sebadoh sound like no time has passed.
Thanks! That's good to hear, because we went into the project not trying to think too much about that in terms of songwriting. We didn't consciously say, "We're going to make it sound like we used to." But we had the same reaction, after listening to the first completed tracks, that it did seem like the old days. So, I'm glad that comes across.
You've done some touring as Sebadoh in the last few years, but what made you decide the time was right to make records again?
Basically, we had been touring a lot, and we were having such a good time doing it and were fairly well received. But we felt that in order to feel like a real band, we need to write songs or we'd get bored.
Also, it seems like a good contract with our fans. As a fan, I'd feel that if a band I liked was coming back, they'd need to have new material in order to have my continued attention. We want to continue to be a band in the future, and make a few more records.
Was there any inspiration taken from Lou's successful reunion with Dinosaur Jr.? It shows that an act can get back together after a long time and make new music every bit as good as their classic stuff.
I'm sure it's definitely an influence in some way. But Lou and I had been somewhat active playing Sebadoh shows in the meantime before Dinosaur Jr. reunited. We never really broke up, but the shows were less frequent for a while.
It has been enlightening to see Dinosaur Jr. reunited for several years at this point and still going strong. They're busy all the time. We have to fight for Lou's time now. (Laughs) It does give more hope that there are some old fans waiting in the wings to see Sebadoh again. I feel super blessed to have people still interested.
What expectations, if any, did you set for yourselves as a band when you started making Defend Yourself?
It had been so long since we worked on anything. We had a goal of simply creating some quality tunes. If there was anything pushing us, it was just to bring our best material to the table. The rest of it had to happen organically, like recording in the studio with different qualities of gear. You have to leave a little bit up to chaos. Luckily, chaos is in our corner.
Prior to the release of Defend Yourself, the band did something unique: You handpicked some of your favorite U.S. record stores and staged listening parties so your fans could hear the new music, and you also gave away advance copies of the album.
Our new label [Joyful Noise] came up with the idea, which was a really good one. All of the fans' copies of the record were on vinyl, which is cool for collectors and also makes it harder for people to digitize and leak the record. Our label is really into vinyl, so it was a perfect marriage. I know I would love to get a prize like that if I went to a listening party.
Sebadoh are known for helping to pioneer the "lo-fi" style of indie rock. Is that something that the band takes pride in, that you're considered so influential for something?
I think it's nice. And I think much of it is directed at Lou and [original Sebadoh drummer] Eric Gaffney's early work, because the first couple of records had a lot of four-track recording on it. I've certainly used four-track for a long time at home. But I think our ethic is not anti-high fidelity, but pro-DIY. It's like, don't let the fact that you don't have a ton of money limit your recordings. Figure out how to get it done with whatever gear you have around you. I think that part of the creative process is solving problems that are technical as well as musical.
So your secret for getting that lo-fi vibe is not simply using four-track, it's also the mentality of not overthinking things?
Yeah. Don't get bogged down by the process of recording. We don't concentrate on needing special types of equipment or microphones like a lot of bands do. Defend Yourself was all done on gear we had laying around or borrowed. It was surprisingly low tech, especially for this day and age and what's available to people. Going from a four-track to even a modest computer set up is really quite an upgrade (laughs).
We live in an era of overproduced music, where auto-tune and Pro Tools reign in the recording studio. I've always felt that Sebadoh stands out as a refreshing contrast to that.
I have a minor career as a recording engineer, so I've been in situations where I'm the guy who auto-tunes somebody. I've personally found that the time it takes to auto-correct someone's vocals, rather than just having them sing it again, is longer. It's like how people send dozens of text messages instead of just having a 30-second conversation on the phone. In a recording situation, the artist can say, "I don't feel doing another take." It's sort of giving up on the performance aspect of the music.
You've done reissues for several of the earlier Sebadoh records. From what I understand, a reissue was also planned for Harmacy but never completed. Are still there plans to reissue that record?
I think so. We were in the initial stages of collecting additional material, but there was some hang-up and we ended up going on tour and putting it on the back burner. I would say there are still plans for it, but it's not high priority right now. As with all the reissues, we'd want to make sure the packaging and liner notes are as comprehensive as possible and that there are bonus tracks that add value. To do reissues just for the sake of doing them is not worthwhile.
You and Lou have a really good songwriting dynamic going, as you provide some of the edgier material that's still catchy while Lou comes up with these pop gems. How does your collaboration work, and how do you divvy up how many tracks each will sing on for a new record?
It's sort of assumed that the balance of songs is usually about 50/50 at this point. As far as collaboration, each of us will bring some kind of fleshed out songs into rehearsal, but typically with a lot of loose ends. So, much of the songwriting that goes on is figuring out how to translate from one guy playing the song on guitar, to playing it together as a band. Lou and Bob have a crapload of input on my tunes, because they're making up their parts for the first time. Sometimes Lou ends up writing little hooks and basslines that really make my songs happen, and vice versa.
What are some of your interests and hobbies outside of music? How do you keep yourself busy when you're not on the road or writing songs?
Well, I have a pot-bellied pig named Emmett. He's about 16 years old, which is really old for a pig. He's pretty hearty for his age, but he has arthritis and some other ailments. I'm with him a lot of the day. I live in Brooklyn and I have to take him out for a walk three times a day.
Also, I love building and shooting slingshots. It's a terrible hobby to have as a New Yorker! It's not illegal to have a slingshot but shooting one can be a problem. But I've found some safe places, and I'm only shooting at tin cans. It's not like I'm hunting squirrels or something.
Most people just say they're into photography or fishing or something like that; your hobbies are definitely unique. So, you put Emmett the pig on a leash and walk him around the streets?
Yeah, we throw the harness on and take him out on the sidewalk. We get a lot of crazy looks. We stop and talk to lots of people. It's amazing; I know everybody in the neighborhood from the gangster types to the old ladies, and I don't know if I'd interact with all those different people if not for Emmett.
He must be quite the icebreaker!
Yes, he is. New Yorkers are actually very warm and social, and seeing a kid or pet brings that out of them. Personality-wise, Emmett's like a dog crossed with a three-year-old.
It would be pretty awesome if Emmett went on tour with Sebadoh sometime. I can picture him doing some crowd surfing.
(Laughs) I would love it! We'd need to get a bigger van, though; he's a big boy. And he'd have to have a job on tour, like selling merch or something.
Sebadoh will play at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on Nov. 1 and Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia on Nov. 2. Defend Yourself is available now on Joyful Noise Recordings. For more information, visit sebadoh.com.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used when employing detection means with an extended flexible linear part in the form of a flexible cable, which are based on a wave-conduction or vibration detection principle, for signalling coverage of a four-way road intersection and bypass paths thereof. The method includes deploying, at a four-way road intersection and the adjacent area, two detection means with an extended flexible linear part such that they each cross three roads on a semicircle without crossing each other, extensions of said extended flexible linear parts lie along two roads through which the most likely directions of bypassing the intersection by an offender pass, and using an output algorithm which determines the direction of movement of the offender based on the order of arrival of one to four alarm signals over established time intervals for accumulation thereof.
EFFECT: high probability of detection, specifically detecting an offender when the offender moves in all directions, and accuracy of indicating the direction of movement of the offender, specifically from twelve directions of movement on an intersection - four are determined in pairs and eight uniquely, the directions of bypass are also determined in pairs when signalling coverage of a road intersection and bypass paths thereof using only two detection means.
SUBSTANCE: invention consists in receipt of heat emission by two sensors placed at opposite boundary sides at the known distance from each other in direction along its lines. Received emission is converted to electrical signals characterizing duration of signals sensed by sensors since their commencement till their positive and negative maxima (t1, t2, Δt1, Δt2), as well as between commencement and positive maxima of the signal from two sensors (t4, t5). All potential alternatives of boundary crossing, being represented as the main population Ω, differ from each other by object size in regard to objective filed of view and position of movement pattern in regard to the boundary sides. Synthesis of class-division algorithm in the area of real events is based on search of the respective signs in the area of time responses occurring at emission receivers. An expert model is developed as a set of the above signs differentiating by discriminator functions, which allows on the basis of time interval analysis identification of the boundary-crossing alternative and parameters of crossing: longitudinal and transversal dimensions of the violating object, speed of its movement and position of the movement pattern in regard to secured (controlled) boundary. Based on estimation of the received parameters of the boundary crossing the decision adequate to general purpose of the system is taken: alarm signal is sent, violating objects are counted and sorted by size, etc.
EFFECT: improved interference resistance for violator detection due to analysis of violation parameters.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to alarm signalling for detecting an intruder in the detection area of an extended security boundary. The sensitive element used in the disclosed seismic recording system is an extended seismic line which detects mechanical vibrations of the ground when an intruder moves on segmented areas of the extended seismic line with monitoring of each of the segments of the area of the security boundary, merged into groups of seismic links. The system consists of a central security post and a plurality of electronic units, designed to generate the number of the segmented area on which intrusion is detected. Each seismic link consists of a pair of seismic detectors mounted in the ground on the security boundary. The electronic units for generating the number of an area are connected to the central security post by a first RS-485 interface line. The seismic links are connected to corresponding electronic units by other CAN interface lines.
EFFECT: higher accuracy of localising a point of intrusion of a security boundary.
SUBSTANCE: system includes an operator's panel connected by a link to a surveillance system mounted on a rotary platform with a video camera and a thermal imager. The rotary platform is fitted with a coordinate positioning system which is linked to a local or geographic coordinate system, and the operator's panel is connected by links to alarm sensors placed on the protected area and separately linked to the same local or geographic coordinate system.
EFFECT: faster and more accurate detection.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of detecting an intruder of extended security boundaries. The technical result is faster and more accurate determination of the area of intrusion. The system consists of a central security post and a plurality of electronic units, each connected to a group of signal processors. Each signal processor is connected to a segmented vibration-sensitive element mounted on a physical enclosure. The electronic units are connected to the central security post by a first RS-485 interface line. The signal processors are connected to corresponding electronic units by other CAN interface lines.
EFFECT: improved functional reliability of the system by improving noise-immunity and accuracy of locating the point of intrusion, as well as use the principle of digital information transmission via communication lines with fewer wires.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used when employing detection means with an extended linear part, which are based on a wave-conduction or vibration detection principle, for signalling coverage of a four-way road intersection and detours thereof. The method includes deploying, at a four-way road intersection and the adjacent area, two detection means with an extended linear part such that the extended linear part of each means overlaps two different roads, one twice and other once, with the ratio between the distances from the centre of the intersection to the intersection points of 1:2:1 and using an output algorithm which determines the direction of movement from a sequence of one to four alarm signals coming from the detection means over a set time for accumulation thereof, and the ratio between time intervals of delay between the arrival of signals. The method includes a preparatory step with deployment based on a developed scheme of the extended linear part of two detection means on an area and a main step which begins from the moment an offender enters the detection area of one of the detection means, during which the offender is detected, and the direction of movement of the offender is determined.
EFFECT: high probability of detection and accuracy of indicating the direction of an offender during signalling coverage of a road intersection and detours thereof using only two detection means.
SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a method of creating unbearable mental conditions for intruders in closed premises (offices, banks, cars etc.), fitted with special-purpose locking devices. Said conditions are created by automatically turning on an ultrasonic generator, the radiation of which is directed into the interior of the premises. The ultrasonic radiation is modulated with rectangular pulses with modulation frequency of 1 Hz or higher. The pulse ratio of the ultrasonic radiation is set equal to 2. The resultant radiation pressure is equivalent to infrasound radiation. Parameters of the ultrasonic radiation and reverberation time are associated with parameters of the premises, particularly with the size and coefficient of reflection of the sound wave by walls of the premises.

Disrupted sleep-wake cycle might be measure for preclinical Alzheimer's
People with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease are known to have disrupted sleep. New NIH-funded research, published online Jan. 29, 2018, in JAMA Neurology, links a disrupted sleep-wake cycle to an earlier, preclinical disease phase, in which people have evidence of the disease but no symptoms. The study, by researchers at the Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, suggests that a fragmented sleep-wake cycle might be explored as a biomarker for preclinical Alzheimer's.
For the study, 189 people (average age, 66 years) wore watch-like sensors for 7 to 14 days to collect data about their rest and activity levels. These participants also kept a sleep diary. In addition, they had positron emission tomography (PET) brain scans, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, or both to look for any biological signs of Alzheimer's, including abnormal levels of the proteins amyloid and tau.
The researchers found that cognitively normal participants who had biological changes related to Alzheimer's were more likely than those without these changes to have fragmented sleep-wake cycles, with higher-than-normal periods of rest during the day and more periods of activity at night.
Of the participants, 139 showed no evidence of Alzheimer's, but 50 had abnormal amyloid plaques seen on PET scans or other signs of the disease. These 50 participants had more disruption in their circadian rest-activity (sleep-wake) cycles than those without evidence of Alzheimer's. There were no significant differences between people with and without the ApoE4 genetic risk factor.
Increasing age also was associated with circadian dysfunction, particularly in men, the researchers found. However, after adjusting for age and gender, they concluded that aging and preclinical Alzheimer's disease pathology have separate negative effects on circadian rhythm.
The question of whether circadian dysfunction contributes to Alzheimer's disease pathology or vice versa is still being explored. Previous studies have shown a link between poor sleep quality and beta-amyloid levels in the brain, and findings in this study also suggest circadian dysfunction could contribute to early Alzheimer's changes in the brain. Given that Alzheimer's disease starts years before symptoms appear, these differences in the sleep-wake cycle could merit further study as an early indicator of disease.

An examination of representative early Shakespearean plays, including tragedies, comedies, and histories. Plays vary from year to year.
Northrop Frye argued that Shakespeare's works were rooted in "the drama of the green world." Plays began, he argued, in the real world but departed for an alternative space—a place of fantasy far from harsh social and natural realities. So much has changed since Frye's 1957 Anatomy of Criticism helped define what literary criticism was. Many now would hear the phrase "green world" differently. Similarly, we might hear differently Hamlet's famous call for art to imitate reality, to "hold, as 'twere, a mirror up to nature." The theater of the green world now concerns itself with environs and ecologies, creatures and climate, natures and norms. This course surveys the works of Shakespeare keeping in mind that series of concerns, which were as immediate to those living in the "Little Ice Age" of the 14th-17th centuries as they might be to those who live in an era of increasing climate uncertainty. The course will consider more traditional literary questions alongside more recent turns to ecology and environmental history. The course considers a variety of environs—the forest, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Merry Wives of Windsor, and the narrative poem Venus and Adonis; the pastoral countryside in As You Like It and Winter's Tale; the devastated heath of King Lear; and oceanic "other" worlds, both utopian and proto-colonial, in The Tempest. We'll examine the workings of nature, desire, and climate in all of these works as well as in a selection of Shakespeare's sonnets. And we'll try to answer key questions with recourse to Shakespeare and his era as well as our own. Does "one touch of nature make the whole world kin?" What happens when we put Shakespeare in conversation with natural history and the history of science? What happens when you hold "a mirror up to nature?" Who or what is nature? Are we part of it or obliged to it? What role does desire play in the green world? Is there any escape from the worlds and civilizations we build? Course assignments include: a portfolio of short response essays, a final essay, attending a live performance, and a group project/presentation.
This course offers D1 credit and satisfies the English major pre-1800 requirement.

                rBody.useGravity = true;
            }
        }
    }

        }

    }
    void Turn() {
    //  targetRotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotateCel * turnInput * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.up);
    //  transform.rotation = targetRotation;
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) {
        isGrounded = true;
        CanPress = true;
    }

    void OnTriggerExit(Collider col) {
        isGrounded = false;
        CanPress = false;
    }

}

My character has a Rigidbody attactches which uses gravity and has X,Y,Z constraints for Rotation.

*

*The player goes up smoothly and falls down smoothly but the transition between the two is very abrupt and sudden.

Thanks for the help. :)

A: Okay, so I took your code and had a play.
I think the issue was that in your Run() function, you were altering the velocity of the rigidbody which was affecting your jumping.
I've taken that stuff out and improved your script slightly and tested it. Attach this to a capsule with a rigidbody on it, with a floor underneath with a box collider on and hit space, and you should get a smooth jump.
Your new(ish) script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CharacterController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float inputDelay = 0.1f;
    public float forwardVel = 12;
    public float rotateCel = 12;
    public float jumpHeight = 10;
    private float jumpTime;
    public float _initialJumpTime = 0.4f;
    //[HideInInspector]
    public bool isGrounded;
    Quaternion targetRotation;
    Rigidbody rBody;
    Vector3 forwardInput, turnInput;
    public bool canJump;

    public Quaternion TargetRotation
    {
        get { return targetRotation; }
    }

    void Start()
    {
        targetRotation = transform.rotation;
        if (GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
            rBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Character Needs Rigidbody");
        }

        //  forwardInput = turnInput = 0;
        forwardInput = turnInput = Vector3.zero;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        GetInput();
        //Turn ();

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && canJump)
        {
            rBody.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpHeight, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }

    void GetInput()
    {
        //forwardInput = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");
        //turnInput = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
        forwardInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * rotateCel, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * forwardVel);
        forwardInput = transform.TransformDirection(forwardInput);
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //Run();
    }

    void Run()
    {
        //HERE YOU SET THE RIGIDBODYS VELOCITY, WHICH IS CAUSING YOUR JUMP TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. DO NOT MODIFY THE VELOCITY
        //OF A RIGIDBODY
        if (Mathf.Abs(10) > inputDelay)
        {
            //Move
            //rBody.velocity = transform.forward * forwardInput * forwardVel;
            rBody.velocity = forwardInput;
        }
        else
        {
            //zero velocity
            rBody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
        }
    }

    void Turn()
    {
        //  targetRotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis (rotateCel * turnInput * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.up);
        //  transform.rotation = targetRotation;
    }

    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
    {
        isGrounded = true;
        canJump = true;
    }

    void OnCollisionExit(Collision col)
    {
        isGrounded = false;
        canJump = false;
    }
}

Couple of points:

*

*name your variables inThisKindOfFashion (jumpHeight, isOnGround, camelCaseExample), having variables beginning with a capital letter like Gravity and JumpHeight can get confusing.

*as someone once answered on one of my questions, don't modify the velocity of a rigidbody unless you know what you are doing! Seems odd, but after following that advice I've never had a problem since!

*In your script I have used OnCollision rather than OnTrigger. If you put a floor with a box collider underneath your capsule with a collider, rigidbody and this script on, your character will stop on the ground. If you use a trigger, he will fall through (at least in my experience!)
Happy coding! :-)

Edit
To respond to your comments:
"How do you suggest I move the player"
Movement can be done in a variety of different ways, but I usually use this one all the time unless I need to do something a bit differently:
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    {
        transform.position += Vector3.left * speed * Time.deltaTime; //speed could be 5f, for example (f means float);
    }

    // then do the same for other directions, RightArrow -.right, UpArrow - .forward, DownArrow - .back
}

"How do I adjust how fast the player jumps"
You can alter the jumpHeight variable for a higher or smaller jump. If by faster you mean falls down faster, go to Edit>Project Settings>Physics> and change Y gravity to something smaller, such as -20.

They have a wide variety of tutorials, and even have ones that come with example projects so you can just put it together following the video.

to add a vibrant feel to his paintings, as in Road Warriors (below; watercolor on paper, 24×33).
Rouse works in sections, beginning at the top of the painting and finishing at the bottom. The broad gray stripes around objects are liquid mask, which he uses to preserve the whites and brights. In each section of the painting, Rouse applies his darks and then builds up to the lights following the areas that he has laid out in the drawing. This procedure gives a somewhat mosaic feel to the work, an approach that has the advantage of keeping the color very much alive. In painting most objects, the artist applies the darks in a fairly deep gray and then washes the local color—the actual color of the object—over the top. He finds this approach helps to re-create the reduced color saturation that's often visible in shadows. He does a little blending or softening where necessary, particularly in areas such as flesh. Rouse stresses, however, that the bulk of the illusion is achieved through lining up the values.
Follow along to see how Rouse establishes the value system in Road Warriors—and learn more about his painting style and see more of his paintings in the April 2016 issue of Watercolor Artist, available in print and download format at northlightshop.com, and on newsstands February 16.


Many people's biggest fear about childbirth is tearing. Tearing is indeed painful and ranges in different degrees of severity. We have seen many women birth large babies without a tear and others tear birthing not-so-large babies. There are things you can do to prevent tearing or more accurately – minimize the risk of tearing. Here are our top tips of what to do, these are things you should do both prenatally and some great tips to do during birth to prevent or minimize tearing.
The list below is of things you should do during your pregnancy that will help reduce the risk of tearing during birth, it is easy to follow and require a relatively small effort to implement.
Hire a doula, take a Childbirth Education class, and learn relaxation techniques. This one is huge because being calm during birth, finding good positions, possibly choosing to forgo the epidural (no judgement and we support all) is going to lessen chance of tearing or lessen amount of tearing.
Orgasms! It's not crazy- more blood flow to those tissues=good thing.
Nutrition. Learn more about nutrition for better skin elasticity. Look into foods with Omega 3, Vit E, Vit C, and Zinc.
Lengthen and Release tension in the pelvic floor. Find out how in a video posted to our FREE Facebook group. We should not have to PUSH SO HARD. If the pelvic floor is too tight (hypertonic) and does not yield well, it can make the pushing stage more difficult, which can increase the chance of tearing.
Balance the body. We know there are certain fetal positions that are easier to get a baby out and certain positions that can be more difficult for some moms. If mom's body is balanced, baby is more likely to find a more optimal position. The One Strong Mama program has exercises and techniques designed to create balance in mom's body so that baby can find a more optimal position. We also recommend our friends over at Spinning Babies for techniques to be done during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and during birth.
This list is of tried and true tips for how you approach your birth in order to reduce the risk of tearing during. I suggest you prepare yourself before the birth, arm yourself with knowledge and communicate your expectations with your provider ahead of time.
1. Consider going epidural free.
(note: we are not anti epidural) This will give more variety of positions for mom and also help mom to feel what is going on when crowning. If you do decide to go for the epidural, consider laboring down/passive descent where you allow your body to push the baby down most of the way, passively.
During birth, have some Spinning Babies techniques in your back pocket, or hire a doula who knows them, so that if needed they can assist you in gently encouraging baby into position. Ideally, this is not something that the birthing mom should be having to remember and think about during the process. Rather, it is best to let mom relax and go inward while having external support to encourage the best positions as baby makes their journey down and out.
An episiotomy is a cut performed by provider and is more likely to extend into a more significant tear. They were done much more commonly in the past, but new evidence suggests that it is not often needed and can cause long term issues (1). Additionally, it is easier for our bodies to heal from tearing than cut because tears tends to happen around the cells and an episiotomy cuts through them.
This goes back to prenatal preparation. We need to get out of the fear-tension-pain cycle. Tension is not ideal for the mind OR the tissues. Create a safe place, wherever you are birthing. This may include things like dim lights, sounds and smells you enjoy, your own clothing, and people who love and support you.
(*****see our article on breathing the baby out) Additionally, when baby is crowning, slowing down!! When baby is on the perineum and there are strong sensations happening, sometimes we want to just push quick to get past it. But those strong sensations are our bodies way of telling us to slow down and let the tissues stretch.
When we push on our back it decreases the diameter of the pelvis, which will mean we may need to use more force to get baby out. More force can put a greater strain on the tissues. If a baby needs help getting out, squatting is amazing, as it increases the diameter of the outlet of the pelvis. But if baby is coming fast or upon crowning, switching to hands and knees, kneeling in some way, or side lying is optimal as these positions puts less strain/force on the tissues.
Tearing is not something one would mention as the "highlight" of giving birth and it's best when it's avoided. This article offers a wholistic approach for preventing tearing during childbirth rather than a one "silver bullet" type solution that may address one root cause. Please read thoroughly and see if it makes sense to you. Please feel free to comment or ask question on our email or in our FB group.

Most car buyers aren't too concerned about emission levels when choosing a vehicle, and more than half say that cheap running costs are the most important factor when making a decision, according to a new survey.
The research by the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) found that more than six in 10 buyers relegated emissions concerns to bottom of the list when they were car shopping.
Knowing what drives customers when buying a car is always useful when you are running a dealership business. However, it's also important to make sure you have the right motor trade insurance for your business. If you offer test drives, it's also worthwhile looking at demonstration insurance to make sure you are adequately protected.
The National Franchised Dealers Association report was carried out to find out what buyers thought of the services provided by dealers and also to dig deeper into their motivations when buying a vehicle.
Sue Robinson, the Association's director, was surprised by the findings on emissions, because this not only effects the environment, it also affects how much tax the driver will pay.
She said the findings showed a "clear disconnect" between what the industry considered important and what drove buyers: "The industry, in the wake of recent news, has focused on improving the consumer's understanding of emissions.
She said the findings were "worrying" and were not what the survey had expected to find.
The Association is now looking at how members can carry out work to educate buyers about the importance of vehicle emissions, as well as other issues affecting the vehicles they are interested in.


Spending one great, worry-less, fun-filled week as a vacation might be everyone's dream. Going for a Carnival journey might be a cool idea for relaxing our mind and our body. It's also the very best way for escaping from the busy schedules of the corporate lifestyle.
Imagine this situation, lying over a cloth piece on some poolside recliner as sun bathing over the deck of one luxurious cruise. Silence is very embracing these surroundings. No pollution, no traffic and above all no more nagging work. The water present in these surroundings flow softly and the air current is very much entertaining. It's the correct kind of a life. Indeed, cruising is a spice of the life that all must experience at the very least once in the lives.
For some Carnival Cruise beginner, the fun will start at the shore itself. However, as a beginner cruiser sometimes would be one exciting and a trembling feeling. People might think about various myths and misconceptions. These false beliefs might turn fun as one horrible thing to do. As a piece of advice, it's very much vital for clearing most uncertainties and also the worries before cruising. It's important for a cruiser to get the cruise's basic goals.
Carnival cruises are safe, so if you are thinking about the" king of the world" film, do not worry, such innovations were made in the past 8 decades.
After selecting a Carnival cruise vacation spot, the next thing for doing is to get options for amenities. Before that, departures must also be seen. It's a very good idea to check all the reservation procedure first.
Here are very basics steps for making one Carnival cruise very much enjoyable.
– The first thing for doing is booking the cruise schedule. These details should be printed very clearly, like the departure date, port place, time, duration of cruise, and the members.
– Another very important consideration will be the vacation starting day. Is it correct for you? Will it give the best choices for having one great vacation for you? Is it peak season or off-season?
– For avoiding hassles, enter the terminal's building in the good decorum and procedure. Then, proceed for the x-ray machine, metal detector etc. Let a security officer check our luggage. Then the security officer would release one clearance certificate. By performing this activity, the port management would not inspect your luggage anymore.
– Be ready in advance for the very important documents chosen for cruising. These documents must be filled, before itself by some important information. Also prepare a "shipboard id card". This card would be very much important. It would serve as a passport inside our cruise.
– Arrival time on the cruise is a very important aspect as well. The earlier is the arrival time, the better it would be. Make sure for keeping it properly about the number and letter given by some port authority. Ask for the designated rooms for the accommodations.
– Always check the insurance while boarding. Remember that it's the very best key for protecting yourself.
– If the ship is set, check all the rooms and also other facilities. The rooms should be very much clean, maintained and should have a good atmosphere. Look out for one comfortable room, which would, fit you.
– Analyse the fine print. Make sure to understand those things which are possible. Check out the carnival cruise's price. Never neglect the port charges other taxes.
After seeing all these things, the very next thing for doing is to enjoy our trip. Many carnival cruise lines would offer great collection of these cruise line drinks.

The process and function of ensuring consistently high quality is an integral element in our company infrastructure. Our QA programs are based on AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015 STD and MIL-I-45208. We also have a certified soldering and ESD (Electro Static Discharge) trainer and conduct our soldering and ESD training in house. Certifications and certificates are issued to persons who sucessfully complete the classes.
This is the newest version of the aerospace industry standard. AS9100 incorporates all the elements of ISO 9001, plus additional elements unique to the aerospace industry. One of the important features of AS9100 is the resurrection of some critical elements of MIL-Q, the military specifications that were shelved when ISO 9000 first came on the scene.
The standard was developed by a committee of procurement, purchasing and quality executives from the major U.S. aerospace manufacturers as a way to reduce defects in the supplier chain; continually improve quality; boost customer satisfaction; and considerably reduce the number of hours spent on audits, requirements and documentation. Instead of having to comply with many differing quality requirements and standards for each customer, aerospace industry suppliers and subcontractors now had for the first time a single aerospace standard that would be accepted across the board.
Most of the international standards begin with the letters "ISO", the acronym for the "International Organization for Standardization." This worldwide federation of 110 national standards bodies works to promote the growth of manufacturing, trade and communication among business operations worldwide, through the development of generic quality standards.
The most widely recognized standard is ISO 9000, a basic quality management system that can be used in industries of any size, anywhere in the world. Registration to ISO 9001 (or other quality/management standard) provides objective proof that a business has implemented an effective quality management system, and that it satisfies all of the requirements of the applicable standard. An external, impartial expert called a registrar conducts an on-site audit to determine whether or not a company is in conformance to the standard. If they are found to be in conformance, they will be issued a certificate showing their address, scope of operations and the seals of the accreditation bodies that give the registrar its legitimacy.
