NBC Sports' Tommy Roy Produces President's Cup Broadcast
PGATOUR.COM: This President's Cup highlights many unique elements, including the green mile moving to 13-15. How does routing affect your behavior?
Roy: Kudos to the PGA Tour for changing the routing to ensure that these great holes are on air. As you can see in match play, it can end early. In a match play situation, you definitely don't want his 18th to be the coolest hole on the entire golf course. They did a great job changing the routing so we can now broadcast these iconic halls.
PGATOUR.COM: How do you want the beauty of these particular holes, especially the lakes, to look? How can you show the uniqueness of the course with this kind of broadcast?
Roy: There are drones and planes. I think you get some very unique angles for this course. This is great. I love this golf course. Perfect for match play. Because with risk-reward holes, drivable par 4s and places where the water works, anything can happen. There are no boring holes on this entire golf course. All of them are unique, exciting, and really highlighted under match play conditions.
PGATOUR.COM: What's new in this President's Cup broadcast?
Roy: What's new to us is that we have a captain's cam. Both golf carts will have (point of view) cameras pointing at the seats of Davis Love III and Trevor Immelman. Usually I do interviews on the first tee after the first matches against both captains have teed off. In the meantime, there are many cases where one team wants to get off to a fast start and get a shot of the captain who did a very good job choosing and pairing picks for the day. He drives around the golf course in a golf cart, but it's not easy to spot these people from a fixed camera position. Having these captain cameras lets you know where you are at all times.
PGATOUR.COM: What innovations have enhanced coverage of these international team events?
Roy: Technically, the miniaturization of all devices allows us to use more of them. More cameras, more angles, more replays of exciting moments. In the old days, camera cables were one inch long. It was about this size when I started. It takes four or five days just to run the cables through the six holes. Today, he can basically wire an entire golf course in a day. There are even more cameras and microphones. And audio is a big part of this, especially in halls where water works. Being able to hear the splash sounds just adds more emphasis to the moment, so I'm grateful that the technical experts in our business were able to do what they did.
PGATOUR.COM: Having covered these team events, are there any players that got your heart pumping or were you always focused on making sure you captured it?
Roy: Well, Tiger of course. Every time he played, he brought such passion. By the way, with Justin Thomas, I'm watching now how he played in New Jersey. He's one of those players who can't hit a good shot. For some reason, he hits great shots in these team atmospheres. It seems to be in his DNA. We were obsessed with it all, obviously Spieth, what he did, got into trouble and hit these miraculous shots out of trouble. It's all great. Sangmoon Bae, when we were in South Korea (2015 Presidents for his cup) everything fell on him and it was a lot of pressure. He led the team while he was in his home country and it was great.
The best of all was (Ernie) Els from South Africa. When it came to that playoff (Tiger Woods smashing a tie in the 2003 Presidents Cup), I don't think there's ever been more pressure on a player in any event than when it was all riding him. And he's making these putts. These putts were incredibly hard, breaking putts, sloping putts and breaking putts. He made them and Tiger was answering them. I had a feeling Tiger was going to answer that. It was Els who had to do these things, leaving the entire Presidents Cup in his home country to him. Then he took shot after shot and putt after putt until it was declared a draw. It was by far the finest golf I have seen him play in one of these events.
That was the rule, so it was down to just the two of us in the playoffs to decide that, but the great thing is that not only do we capture their exploits, but all of our teammates and the fans for what's going on. It was to capture the reaction. The teammate finished the game and watched his final two games on the golf course, capturing the emotions before and after each one. These shots are hit. that's another part.

13 Kislev 5766 (Wednesday, 14 December 2005)
by Amanda	| 13 Kislev 5766 (Wednesday, 14 December 2005)
This is honestly something I never considered.
I knew that Torah allows for the death penalty, but according to the sources cited by Rabbi Yitzchak Adlerstein, Stanley Tookie Williams' life should have been spared.
But this isn't the usual argument.
According to Adlerstein's argument, Williams should have been spared because the testimony was given by fellons, and according to Noahide Law, fellons cannnot testify against someone and be considered credible witnesses.
By way of explanation, according to Jewish theology, all of humanity is divided into two general classifications with respect to God's commandments.
All non-Jews are referred to as Bnei Noah, or the children of Noah, and the Jews are referred to as Bnei Yisrael, or the Children of Israel.
Jewish theology holds that non-Jews are obligated to follow seven laws, or categories of laws.
These laws are: 1. Shefichat damim – Do not
murder.
2. Gezel – Do not steal.
3. Avodah zarah – Do not worship false gods/idols.
4. Gilui arayot – Do not be sexually immoral (forbidden sexual acts are traditionally interpreted to include
incest,
sodomy,
sex acts and
adultery)
5. Birkat Hashem – Do not
blaspheme.
6. Dinim – Set up righteous and honest courts and apply fair justice in judging offenders and uphold the principles of the other six.
7. Ever min ha-chai – Do not eat anything of the body of an unslaughtered animal
There is disagreement among the rabbinic sources as to how the laws are to be subdivided, but these are the basics.
According to the legal code of the Bnei Noah, murder is definitely a capital offense.
This is based on Genesis 9:5: "But your blood, of your souls, I will demand an account; from the hand of every beast I will demand it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of each man, his brother, I will demand the soul of man." (Judaica Press Complete Tanach).
Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi, one of the foremost commentators on the Bible and Talmud), comments on Talmud Bavli, Sanhedrin 56B that the only punishment meted out by courts of Bnei Noah for criminal offenses is the death penalty.
However, according to Mishneh Torah, Laws of Witnesses, Chapter 9, Law 1, known transgressors, (I.E., convicted fellons), cannot testify against the accused.
Furthermore, the only witness testimony allowed is that of eye-witnesses to the actual crimes.
In Williams' case, the testimony regarding three of the victims was concerning Williams bragging in jail about having committed the crime.
Given the fact that the witnesses were all convicted fellons, and that none of the trial witnesses actually witnessed the crime being committed, Tookie would have gotten off on a technicality.
Rabbi Yaakov Menken, however views the case differently, and posits the following.
He points out that, even though the witnesses were fellons, they would have had no reason to point the finger at him, which would make them impartial witnesses.
He also points out that a modern Beit Din (rabbinical court) would most certainly take in to account "things like ballistics evidence (according
to experts, at least one of the shells at the triple murder could have emerged from no other shotgun on earth than the one owned by Williams) in those
areas where it is permitted leverage, like its own penalties in times of lawlessness."
I definitely plan to research this further.

Among the patrons at the guesthouse was a scholar from Oxford University working on translating Indian and Tibetan texts. After experiencing so many hours of no electricity at this guesthouse, I decided to check out after one night.
Apparently there was a bus that went between the two cities, but it was infrequent, slow and crowded. At the advice of the guesthouse owner I took a shared autoricksaw. This involved squeezing as many people as possible into this tiny vehicle, but the price was good. It takes two people to operate it. One to drive, another to walk around and find people. I only had to change to another shared autoricksaw half way in another town. This was acceptable until all traffic on the road stopped due to construction and the driver kicked everyone out. I had no map of this town and no idea how to get to the place where the shared vehicles and buses are, so I just started walking. After about an hour of wandering around the city, I didn't get anywhere. Finally I gave up and got a normal autoricksaw to the Varanasi train station.
If I had to pick one city as the worst in the world, I'd say it is Varanasi. I had to take another autoricksaw to my guesthouse, so I used the prepaid stand at the train station, although you actually pay afterwards. I didn't see a single bus in this city and I also made sure I had my earplug in the whole time. I saw some slums as I got near my guesthouse. It is almost like living on a landfill here with houses made out of garbage and cows wandering around eating the rest. I tried eating some street food and then I tried to ask where to put the plate. The Indians were confused, because here this is no such thing as throwing something in a trash can, so I had to throw it on the ground. Later I walked along the ghats, or steps, beside the Ganges river. Some people were bathing and a lot were asking if I wanted a boat ride. Later I saw piles of firewood. And finally I saw fires where dead bodies were being cremated.

The fiery-throated metaltail or fire-throated metaltail (Metallura eupogon) is a species of hummingbird in the "coquettes", tribe Lesbiini of subfamily Lesbiinae. It is endemic to Peru.

Taxonomy and systematics

The fiery-throated metaltail is monotypic. However, what are now the violet-throated metaltail (M. baroni) and neblina metaltail (M. odomae) were at times treated as subspecies of the fiery-throated.

Description

The fiery-throated metaltail is about  long and weighs about . It has a medium length, straight, black bill. The adult male is almost entirely yellowish olive-green with bronzy overtones. Its slightly forked tail is iridescent sky blue with a green tinge on its upper side and glittering yellow-green on its underside. Its gorget is orange. The adult female is similar the male but its gorget is smaller. Juveniles are similar to the female.

Distribution and habitat

The fiery-throated metaltail is found on the eastern slope of the central Andes of Peru, from just south of the Huallaga River in the Department of Huánuco south to the Apurímac River in the Department of Cuzco. Like most of the metaltails, the species inhabits the edges of dwarf and elfin forests and páramo, moist landscapes characterized by shrubby growth and small trees. It also occurs in glades within the forest. In elevation it ranges between  and is most common above .

Behavior

Movement

The fiery-throated metaltail is believed to be sedentary but some seasonal elevational movement is possible.

Feeding

The fiery-throated metaltail's diet and feeding practices are not known. They are assumed to be similar to those of other metaltails, which feed on nectar from a variety of flowering plants and also catch small arthropods by sallies from a perch; males defend feeding territories.

Breeding

The fiery-throated metaltail's breeding phenology and nest have not been documented. Its breeding season appears to include June and July.

Vocalization

The fiery-throated metaltail's chase call is "a descending series of 3–6 squeaky notes, followed by a repeated, buzzy, jumbled phrase, 'trt-tsee-seee-seee-sew..trr-tsee-tsew..trr-tsee-tsew..'."

Status

The IUCN has assessed the fiery-throated metaltail as being of Least Concern. Its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. It is "[p]resently not at risk due to its wide distribution and its generalized ecology...[but] may be vulnerable because of its small range" where burning of páramo to create grazing pasture is a threat.

ULIPS or unit linked term plans have been here for quite some time now. In the past decade, ULIP had lost its market shares to the mutual funds. With the opening up of insurance, banking, and asset management sector since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the Indian market now has no dearth of investment products.
There is an investment product for every type of investor and variety in new age investment scheme is its epitome. ULIP has now entered the new age of investment products, and ULIP portfolio is as actively managed as top mutual fund portfolios.
If you are an investor who is seeking to invest in a mutual fund plan, then you can also consider the ULIP schemes. ULIP is an astute amalgamation of investment and life insurance benefits into one plan. So if you purchase a ULIP plan, you will be getting not only an investment scheme but also a life insurance cover. New age ULIPs are being offered in many possible varieties like the mutual funds, but mutual fund schemes do not include personal life cover though some mutual fund schemes do offer group life insurance cover under certain conditions. Under the new age ULIP plan, both the life cover and investment plans offer a number of choices. Thus life cover under a ULIP policy can be pure life cover or life cover with additional benefits like accident, health or critical illnesses cover, survival benefit, maturity benefit, and other benefits.
The invested component of ULIP plan is like a mutual fund portfolio. ULIP fund manager invests the apportioned premium into investment instruments. New age ULIPs offer variety in the investment part as well. Thus like the different categories of a mutual fund, the invested part of a ULIP plan can have different types of investment instruments as according to the invested portfolio objectives. ULIPs can invest in equity and debt instruments or both. Equity composition in a ULIP fund can be large, mid, small cap. Like the mutual fund plans ULIPs can also offer differentiated risk/return portfolios.
Some new age ULIPS are offering returns on mortality charges; one such NULIP is Bajaj Allianz life goal assure. Mortality charges in a ULIP plan are used for providing life cover. Return of mortality charges imply returns of the entire amount charged for life cover at ULIP maturity.
New age ULIPs are yielding returns as good as the top ranking mutual funds of the country. ULIPs funds are constructed with the objective of long-term returns, and some NULIPs are yielding above 20 % returns over five year horizon period. The top-performing equity mutual funds are at present yielding around 18 to 19 % annualized returns over the five-year investment horizon. Check the returns of the modern ULIPs using the Policy Bazaar instant calculator. At the Policy Bazaar portal, you can access returns and the salient features of top ULIPs schemes within seconds using the online calculator. For calculating the returns access the Policy Bazaar portal here. Scroll down to ULIPs calculator and select the company and ULIP plan from the drop-down menus and click on calculate tab. The portal will return you the growth of the fund as returns for one, three and five year periods. Other pertinent fund features also get displayed alongside including fund type (whether moderate or high risk), fund objective definition. For example, if under a company name you choose Aviva life insurance, under plan name you choose 'i Maximize plan' (out of total three plans), and then you click calculate. Under fund name, you will get four types of the fund for this plan (Debt fund, secure fund, blue-chip equity fund, stable fund, accelerator fund). Returns of the plan vary as per type of fund. Five-year returns for the plan are within 8% to 12.3 % range.
The ULIP portfolio can have portfolio options of pure equity, pure debt or hybrid. In comparison mutual fund portfolio schemes are offering more varieties in the portfolio, mutual fund portfolios have base categorization and sub-categorization within a particular category. The mutual fund portfolio is much more diversified than the ULIP portfolio. The new age ULIPs, however, have started offering greater diversification of investment portfolio, especially the equity-based ULIPs.
All ULIP schemes are tax-free. Under section 80 c tax payer can deduct the amount contributed in ULIP scheme from taxable income and reduced taxable income base. Under section 10 of the income tax act, ULIP returns are not taxed for long-term capital gains tax. Returns earned for ULIP scheme is entirely exempt from tax. The amount received at maturity of ULIP scheme is not taxable. Mutual funds, on the other hand, are not all exempt from tax. Till this financial year ELSS mutual funds were tax-free, but from the next tax year LGCT of 10 % on ELSS returns above Rs 1 lakh a year will be charged, however, tax deduction benefit for ELSS will continue to apply under section 80 c.
ULIPs offer a number of free switches between funds in a year which can be up to four free switches. An investor can switch between an equity, debt or hybrid fund in the same ULIP without having to pay any additional charges. There is no concept of fund switching in mutual funds. If one wants to switch a mutual fund, then the entire scheme needs to be closed, and a new one opened.
Like open-ended mutual funds, ULIP funds also comprise of open-ended units which can be redeemed on their NAV value. ULIP units can be redeemed after lock-in period of five years or some new age ULIPs after lock-in of three years. If an investor wants to invest more amounts in ULIP fund then s/he can purchase more of ULIP fund units. Thus investment in a ULIP scheme can be increased or decreased after the lock-in period.
The lock-in period of ULIPs used to be five years, but now several new age ULIP schemes have shortened the lock-in period to three years. The lock-in period for ULIP is different from maturity period. ULIP maturity period can be ten or fifteen years. Most mutual funds also have a lock-in period of three years. There is no concept of mutual fund maturity. During the lock-in period, funds cannot be withdrawn from the scheme. Should funds need to be withdrawn before the lock in the period then exit load is levied by asset management company. There is another disadvantage of withdrawing funds from ULIP or mutual fund before lock-in period, and that is tax deductions get reversed. If ULIP of a mutual fund is surrendered before lock-in, then earlier deductions get reversed and are treated as income in the next tax year. If the amount is withdrawn from investment scheme before lock in, then the same is taxable.
Both ULIP and mutual fund offer options to invest a monthly periodic fixed amount instead of a lump sum amount. ULIP premium can be monthly like the monthly SIPs in a mutual fund scheme.
ULIP schemes also offer facilities of withdrawal after lock-in a period like the mutual fund schemes. Some new age ULIPs are offering withdrawal of maturity benefits after each five years period before the maturity tenure of ten or fifteen years. The withdrawal benefits of new age ULIP plans match the systematic withdrawal feature of mutual fund schemes.
The fund management charges of ULIPs are not very much different from the expense ratio of mutual fund schemes. Regular mutual fund schemes have an expense ratio of 2 to 2.5 %. The expense ratio for direct mutual fund schemes is lower between 1 to 1.5%. The fund management charges of ULIPs are around 1.5 %. Certain ULIP plans may levy charges other than fund management, for the complete ULIP package benefits and ULIP plan riders. However, the new age ULIPs performance is far overriding the costs. For all types of ULIPs, the fund management charges cannot exceed 2.25 % annually as per the 2010 IRDA cap regulations on ULIP fund charges.
There is no concept of group plan under a mutual fund scheme. Mutual fund investment is mostly a personal investment decision. However mutual fund account holder can register a nominee for his or her account. The new age ULIPs have certainly added and modified several features to make ULIP investment more gainful for the investors yet not all past features of the old ULIPs have been suspended. One salient benefit of old Ulips was an umbrella plan policy for the entire family needs including life cover, investment growth, cash for important life events, health and accident cover, retirement cover, among others. The new age ULIPs pack all these covers into one single investment product, like the old ULIPs. No other investment product packs all benefits so comprehensively in a single product for the entire family.
The new age ULIP schemes are now available online like the mutual fund investment products. Online ULIPs can be purchased directly from the asset management company online portal or investors may also visit the Policy Bazaar portal. On the Policy Bazaar investment aggregator portal, investors can use the portal tools and online portal calculator to conduct a quick and swift comparison of the ULIPs and mutual fund schemes. Policy Bazaar is a customer-focussed portal. Investors can open their accounts on the Policy bazaar portal and keep track of all transactions and record of investment schemes purchased through the portal.
There is no hard and fast rule that if you buy a ULIP scheme, you cannot buy a mutual fund scheme or vice versa. Since IRDA suggested ULIP companies to make the ULIPs more competitive, the new age ULIPs are matching the mutual fund scheme returns. Yet a ULIP scheme is not all investments, it's a complete life plan for the whole family, and whereas mutual funds are taxed ULIP investments qualify for tax deduction benefits and ULIP returns are tax exempt. A ULIP investment can be considered as the primary family life plan to meet all the financial goals in the various life stages of the family. Mutual fund investments can be made any time. Mutual funds still do offer greater liquidity than the ULIPs. Short-term debt based mutual funds have lock-in of only one year; the equity-based mutual funds though have a lock-in of three years.


The Ontario Green Energy Act, passed in May 2009, is extremely popular with the public notwithstanding both its infringements on basic individual and democratic rights, and also the substantially higher electricity rates it will cause. This post suggests that close coordination between government, renewable energy businesses, and environmental organizations, particularly government funding of environmental groups, helps to explain the political success of the legislation. This video was part of a panel presentation by Tom Adams at the York University Osgoode Hall Law School Professional Development conference June 15, 2009.

Colorado Lawmakers Reintroduce Nuclear Feasibility Bill
The ideas that formed the Constitution, Part 13: Tacitus
Colorado's plastic bag law ---Part #2
No, a Convention of States Could Not Change the "One State/One Vote" Rule
Constitution, CONSTITUTION - Article V
Cynical partisan politics behind Colorado's plastic bag law, Part I
New Research Finds Most State Constitutional "Blaine Amendments" Facially Unconstitutional
Opponents of education reform often ask the courts to void programs of school choice.
They commonly claim that state constitutional provisions banning "sectarian" aid prohibit choice programs that include religious schools. Opponents won on this basis in a 2015 case, in which Colorado's highest court struck down a voucher program because it included religious schools. (That decision was recently vacated.) A somewhat similar case is now pending in Montana.
Most of the "anti-sectarian" bans date from the 19th century. The Colorado provision, for example, became effective with ratification of that state's constitution in 1876. The Nevada ban was added to that state's 1864 constitution in 1880. The Montana clause is a 1972 re-enactment of one adopted in 1889.
Advocates and opponents of school choice have tussled for decades over the validity of these clauses. Somewhat misleadingly, they often are called "Blaine provisions" because of superficial similarities to a federal constitutional amendment proposed in 1875 by prominent politician James G. Blaine.
Thus far, the legal issues surrounding Blaine provisions have been clouded. However, historical research published this month in the scholarly journal Federalist Society Review likely will change that. The new findings show that "anti-sectarian" clauses — at least those adopted in the 19th century — almost certainly violate the U.S. Constitution as the Supreme Court now interprets it.
The new findings tell us that both advocates and opponents were operating from misunderstandings that made the constitutional issue seem harder than it is.
Advocates of school choice traditionally claim that when 19th-century lawmakers banned aid to "sectarian schools," they really meant "Catholic schools." Discrimination against some religions in favor of others, they contend, violates the First Amendment's requirement that government treat religions equally.
Almost everyone agrees that the First Amendment requires government to treat religions equally, but advocates cannot always show direct connections between anti-Catholic sentiment and particular state constitutions.
School choice opponents traditionally respond that those who adopted 19th century constitutions understood "sectarian" as meaning merely "religious." They argue that by banning aid to "sectarian" schools, states are maintaining a healthy separation from all religions equally. The Colorado Supreme Court took this position in its 2015 case.
So I undertook to learn the facts: What did 19th century constitution-writers really mean when they barred aid for "sectarian" purposes?
In quest of an answer I reviewed 19th century state constitutions and constitutional documents. I examined all relevant definitions in ten 19th century dictionaries. And I collected hundreds of contemporaneous newspaper articles from states throughout the country.
In the 19th century, "sectarian" never meant merely "religious." It always referred to a particular kind of viewpoint.
Its principal use was as an insult. It was employed to tar people and views seen as narrow-minded or out of the mainstream. Nineteenth century writers, speakers, and political activists used "sectarian" in much the same way their modern counterparts employ the term "extremist."
Mainstream Protestantism, which was then dominant in America, was almost never viewed as sectarian. That is why administrators prescribed reading the "non-sectarian" King James Version of the Bible in preference to "sectarian" scriptures favored by other religious groups.
Catholics frequently were attacked as "sectarians," but so also were other unpopular groups: Mormons, Muslims, Jews, and even some Protestants perceived as overly-zealous.
Thus, the core purpose of the bans on "sectarian" aid was to require state officials to discriminate against minority and unpopular religions.
How did the states think they could get away with this? Because the Supreme Court had not yet determined that the Constitution requires states to follow the same rules of religious neutrality that regulate the federal government.
Last year, the Supreme Court found a similar state constitutional provisionpartially unconstitutional, although that case did not involve a school choice program. Moreover, it ordered the Colorado tribunal to re-examine its own decision.
Although for political reasons the Colorado case is unlikely to continue, within a few years, the Supreme Court probably will be confronted with the question of how state "anti-sectarian" clauses impact school choice programs.
These new findings suggest the court will find his kind of state discrimination flagrantly unconstitutional.

Charging a Capacitor in Inverter:
Charging a Capacitor in Inverter – Inverters are static power converters for converting dc to ac. By controlling the conducting periods of the thyristors it is possible to obtain variable frequency at the output terminals of the inverter. This variable frequency supply can be used to feed an ac motor, so as to control its speed. The commutation of the inverters requires reactive power, which a dc supply cannot provide. If the ac side of the inverter is also not in a position to provide this reactive power, special circuit elements which do so must be made available in the inverter circuit. The inverter in such a case is called a force commutated inverter. Sometimes the inverter can be commutated naturally, if the load is able to provide the necessary reactive power. This happens if the inverter feeds an over excited synchronous motor of a three phase system at constant frequency. However, an inverter feeding a three phase induction motor must necessarily employ force commutation as the latter cannot provide the requisite reactive power.
A force commutated inverter is equipped with capacitors and auxiliary thyristors, chosen such that satisfactory commutation takes place. The commutation can be a single stage one, using a counter voltage, or a two stage one providing an auxiliary passage to the current.
We know that a thyristor can be switched on and brought to a conducting state by providing firing pulses when it has a positive voltage. It does not cease to conduct, if the firing pulse is removed, but when the current through the thyristor falls below the holding value and stays at this value for a time greater than the turn OFF time of the thyristor. A commutation circuit must be designed to satisfy the following conditions:
1.The current through the conducting thyristor must go to zero.
2.At the end of conduction the thyristor must continue to have a negative voltage (to maintain this zero current) for a definite amount of time, called the turn off time, so that the thyristor regains its positive blocking
3.The change over of the current to the next thyristor.
The condition for the successful commutation of a thyristor, is that a negative voltage must exist across the thyristor for a definite amount of time, after which the thyristor attains its forward blocking capability and, a positive voltage can be applied across it. Normally it is sufficient that the time of application of the negative voltage be 25% greater than the turn off time of the thyristor.
The turnoff time of the thyristors considerably influences the design and choice of commutating circuit elements. The commutating capacitance is directly proportional to the turn off time. The latter also influences, in direct proportion the charge required to turn off the thyristor. If the capacitance is charged via the load, the load voltage cannot go below a certain value. The turn off time also limits the upper frequency of the inverter. Therefore it is desirable to use thyristors with the minimum possible turn off time for force commutated inverters.
A negative voltage to the outgoing thyristor of an inverter is normally applied by, means of a capacitor via a commutating or auxiliary thyristor. For satisfactory commutation this capacitor must be charged to a sufficient voltage with correct polarity. The commutation circuit must have a provision to charge the capacitor. Basically the capacitor can be charged using
(a) the input voltage of the inverter.
(b) the load current of the inverter.
(c) a separate voltage source.
Sometimes a combination of these three methods can be employed. Figure 3.90 shows the three possibilities. The first case is illustrated in Fig. 3.90(a) and is suitable if the input voltage is constant. The second case is depicted in Fig. 3.90(b), in which the Charging a Capacitor is independent of input voltage, but on the load current. This circuit is not suitable for small currents, but has the advantage at higher currents of practically constant turn off time. The use of a separate voltage source to Charging a Capacitor is illustrated in Fig. 3.90(c). This method is suitable if there is a possibility of the input voltage falling below a certain value, or even disappearing.
To get an inverter which has an output voltage independent of the load current and which can provide the reactive current for the load, additional circuit elements are required. Sometimes diodes are connected antiparallel to the thyristors. These diodes enable one to use an inductive load on the inverter. They operate in the free wheeling as well as feed back modes. Commutating inductances are provided to prevent short circuits when both the incoming and outgoing thyristors conduct simultaneously. They also prevent the discharge of the commutating capacitance when commutation takes place through feed back diodes. Sometimes diodes are used in series with the thyristors to avoid the discharge of the commutating capacitance if the load contains a back emf or if there are sudden changes in the load. The commutating capacitor is connected between the diodes and the thyristors.

What it's really like to intern in tech in NYC
By Wellesley Daniels
There was a time in the not-so-distant past when the most competitive and sought-after jobs in New York City were offered by the world's largest banks, headquartered in the luxury high-rises of Wall Street and Midtown Manhattan. But New York's bourgeoning tech scene is giving finance a run for its money — and its employees. More autonomy, flexible hours and dress codes, cool offices and an overarching appreciation for the relationship between happy employees and better products provide a stark contrast to banking's long days and stuffy cubicle farms. New York's youngest and brightest are taking note, and taking off.

How to Write Horror Scripts: The Guys Behind 'Saw' Share Their Secrets
by Angela Bourassa
If you're trying to figure out how to make your horror script work, you've probably read the scripts of writing team Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. And if you haven't, you need to.
Patrick and Marcus are two of the most prolific and successful horror screenwriters working in Hollywood today. The pair got their start when they won Project Greenlight in 2005. After that, they were chosen to take over the infamous Saw franchise, writing Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, and Saw 3D: The Final Chapter. They're also the writing team behind The Collector and Piranha 3DD, plus they've done countless rewrites on other major horror films over the last ten years.
I got the chance to talk to Patrick and Marcus about the tricks to staying scary, why horror scripts are often better than horror movies, and the keys to becoming a working screenwriter.
LA Screenwriter (LA): I think it's fair to say that your joint career was launched by your win on Project Greenlight. What was that experience like?
Patrick Melton (PM): I went from being a reader at ICM to being put on TV with my screenplay being made. It was surreal to say the least. My wife heard on the radio that they were looking for horror scripts. I mentioned it to Marcus and we submitted FEAST. Obviously we didn't expect to win, but we kept advancing and to our surprise, we won! Right away we were in preproduction on the script and forced to act like we knew what we were doing as the show documented us. It was definitely a little strange. But at the same time, we'd been in LA for several years, so we knew how to act. We knew to be humble and just work hard. Those two traits always pay off in the long run.
Marcus Dunstan (MD): It was a pure Willy-Wonka moment. The experience of treading water for years and years was key to slowing time down a little bit when the rush of dreams coming true occurred. I remember sneaking off to the side of the set, built from words we'd imagined from ideas built over a childhood and I hid up atop the half-finished staircase of the bar, shut my eyes and just wanted to hold time, sneak a sensory photograph of that moment, and tuck it away in my heart. The hard work it took to get there was the armor to stick around after the lights and attention drifted away. Then, the guest chair at the adult table can be folded up or offered elsewhere. That was when the fight to stick around began. It wasn't any easier, but always worth the fight to see another idea roar to life.
LA: How does your writing partnership work? What does a typical writing day look like for you two?
PM: We generally go back and forth on stuff. We'll crack stories together and then go off and do our own thing. When making a film, we'll be in the same room going over stuff, but we mostly write alone.
MD: It is a joy to share space, and see moments spark and corners get shot out of. And yet, there is also a warm solace to writing. Wherever we are, be it in the same room or countries apart, the idea is shared and the journey mapped out.
LA: What advice would you give to other people trying to write in partnerships or teams?
MD: The key to writing with a partner is simple: work with the right one. Patrick is a great friend, father and parent. Our past, though varied, was built in the same dark theaters, and with the same engine to bring stories to life.
LA: All the screenwriting gurus talk about the importance of knowing the genre you're writing in, and it seems like that might be more true for horror than any other genre. What drew you both to horror? What are your favorite horror screenplays, the ones you admire?
PM: Yeah, you should know the genre you're writing in. Doesn't take a guru to come up with that advice. Really, write within the genre you like. We grew up watching horror movies, so it was easy to write within the genre. Horror screenplays can often be a lot better than the movies because it's easier to hide things in scripts. Jake Wade Wall wrote a great script years ago called AMUSEMENT. It had this great twist at the end where these three seemingly disconnected stories came together. Worked wonderfully in the script, but it didn't work so well in the movie.
MD: Watching horror films was almost an entirely different experience than reading horror scripts. The emotional current, and scare factor is so very loud on a page. Bold black and white. All caps. Your eye can skip ahead a line or two, and see a SCREEEEAAAAAM coming. I love trying to find the music. Watching SUSPIRIA and reading SUSPIRIA cannot be compared. The murder-mystery script, be it MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS or HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, are fascinating to reverse engineer.
LA: You two are extremely prolific with numerous films of your own and a lot of credited and uncredited rewrites. How do you keep your writing fresh? Or rather, how do you keep scaring people? It seems like it must get more challenging with each passing season.
PM: Well, when rewriting, you're not necessarily trying to be fresh, you're just trying to make something better or more understandable. Freshness sometimes has to do with that, but it's often just a reactionary way of writing. With originals, you have more freedom, but now you're hoping that others want to read/see something original and fresh. Often, horror fans or execs with knowledge like fresh and original, but the other 80% does not. It's a tricky balance pleasing the bean counters and trying to show something really new and fresh to audiences.
MD: Fear matures, but the rules don't. Something we care about wanders into the dark, something we fear is in there, too. Be it the monster, the slasher, the animal or the Babadook… it works, and works, and works. The silver-screen-scream-engine just keeps on chugging along. The evolving trick is authenticity. What sold the scare in the 1950's doesn't sell the scare in the 2010's. The vernacular of the teen (a popular horror film target) changes with every trend. That is a tough mountain to keep climbing.
LA: What was it like taking over the Saw franchise?
PM: It was definitely scary coming into such a high profile, popular movie mid-stream. There were expectations that always needed to be met, so we tried to achieve those expectations. Our initial scripts were always way too big, trying to do more. They'd eventually get pulled back so they looked and felt like SAW movies. There were a lot of cooks in that kitchen, so you had to write within borders. Not to mention, the movies were always on a tight schedule, so you couldn't screw around much. You had to deliver a SAW script that hit all the beats and milestones.
MD: We understood the parameters of the production, but the producers, directors, and artists always encouraged the material to push the boundaries in one way or another. SAW turned the tables on the idea of victims being innocent. The "pupils" of John Kramer's games were broken adults who had been warned by horror movies, and still led a deceitful life. Jigsaw's intent to "cure" his pupils allowed fertile soil to grow layered characters and put them through the ringer. It was an honor.
LA: Do you feel pigeonholed within the horror genre now? Are there other genres you'd like to take a stab at? I mean, do you ever think, "God, I just want to write a rom-com"?
PM: We haven't worked on a horror film in several years. We're working on a kids movie at Disney called THE STUFF OF LEGEND, which is based on the comic book. We just did a sci-fi script at Warner Brothers called RISE and another sci-fi thing at FOX called OUTLIERS. We are working on SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK at CBS Films, and it's horror, but it's aimed at a younger audience like GREMLINS or GOONIES. We're working on a horror spec and might be working on a pretty big horror franchise soon, but nothing to announce just yet.
MD: Horror has been too kind to us to ever turn our backs on it. It is still so very much fun to wander into the dark!
LA: Outside of horror, what are the films you draw inspiration from? The films you enjoy the most?
MD: Goodness… that is a tremendous question. I watch and re-watch films like comfort food. Different eras, and different genres depending on the task at hand. And usually, the films or screenplays are completely different than project we're working on. I keep going back to MONEYBALL, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, THE KING OF COMEDY… or OPEN RANGE. Each of those films contains an element that continues to fascinate. Perhaps it is elaborate story construction, tight filmmaking, a particular score which resonates… each film leaves behind a unique lesson.
PM: We watch just about every kind of movie, so we draw inspiration from everything. I just enjoy good movies the most. Doesn't matter the genre, as long as it's good. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is good, and it certainly isn't horror. This year I thought NIGHTCRAWLER was the best screenplay. Lots of screenplays were good, but it had a special type of dialogue that stood out as very unique. It's not traditionally written: the script is one sentence. There is not a period until the last word on the final page. It's very cleverly done.
LA: If you were trying to break into professional screenwriting today, what would your strategy be?
PM: It depends on the circumstances of the individual, but the easiest and quickest way is to enter the film industry. Meaning, move to LA and get a job within the business. You'll learn filmmaking from the inside out and learn what it takes to create a screenplay and become a working writer. It's a grind. It's not glamourous. And it's not something done exclusively behind a desk. You have to meet people and be able to talk about the business and matters involved with filmmaking to really become a working writer. That only comes from living in Los Angeles.
MD: Stories are rooted in the shared experience. Live a life worth sharing, feed your mind with things worth remembering, and then, dare yourself to write something worth reading. The structure, form, and unique imprint of your perspective will make any work, be it horror, comedy, or adventure, spring from a point of authenticity. The more personal, the more universal.

A lot of great advice from Patrick and Marcus and not just for horror scribes. I love that they haven't really written horror in a few years – it shows that you can break in with one genre mastered and be able to move around. Always good news for a writer!

MADISON — As she sat in a chair in the waiting area of the Boone County Circuit Clerk's Office at the Boone County Courthouse on Dec. 30, Sue Ann Zickefoose experienced a moment that made her retirement all too real.
"It is really hitting me right now in this moment," she said as her staff scurried to make her retirement party one to remember. "It's bittersweet for me. I'll miss these girls and I'll miss all these people who are always so kind."
Zickefoose, in her third term, will see her seat as circuit clerk occupied by Deputy Clerk Anita Perdue, who was appointed to the post by Circuit Judges William Thompson and Jay Hoke.
"She was instrumental to me when I first became judge, especially in helping with the grand jury process," Thompson said of Zickefoose. "Her office has always run smoothly and efficiently, and I was especially grateful for her help with starting e-filing in Boone County. She will be missed and I wish her the best in her retirement."
In her office, Zickefoose reflected on her red, white and blue color scheme — including the paint on the walls.
In 2004, when she began her first term, commissioners told her they'd support a fresh paint job and some upgrades for her working space.
"The walls hadn't been painted in 30 years and my office was being used for storage at the time," she said.
Zickefoose added with a laugh, "Commissioners told me not to ask them for anything ever again."
A 1959 graduate of Scott High School, she has worked with numbers her entire career, beginning with her work in finance in the automobile business and on the clerical side of a once-booming coal mining industry. In all, she's punched a time clock for three decades as a state employee.
Through her work at the courthouse, she played a significant role in bringing the statewide e-filing and case management system for circuit clerks to Boone County, which provides a streamlined process for filing documents — conserving environmental resources and time.
"I think that my biggest contribution to the county is the absolutely wonderful staff that is in place right now," she said. "They are very productive, smart and fantastic county employees."
A Democrat, Zickefoose said she always had a keen interest in politics and, after losing a close race in her first attempt at the seat, she knew she'd come back for another try.
"I don't think the other candidates were worried much about me," she said. "I flew under the radar and snuck the ball in for a touchdown."
Her work in the circuit clerk's office began in 1984 when she worked for six years for then-clerk Sonny Howell, who later served as the mayor of Madison before his passing in March of 2020.
Zickefoose, 79, armed with a genuinely kind demeanor and a keen sense of humor, said she didn't want to keep the seat for too long.
"I know that people say that I am getting older, and I don't let those things bother me," she said. "I am the one who had to decide when the time was right to retire and I feel that the time is now. The last thing I want to do is be a person who holds on for too long. I've had a great career. I'm proud of it and I'm happy with my decision."
She said COVID-19 and the susceptibility of those in her age group played a role in her decision to retire now.
"I feel pretty good, but at my age it is a concern," she said. "I feel like our office has managed it (pandemic) as well as we can and I feel safe in here, but it is a factor for me at this time. I've had two major back surgeries and some days I feel that."
The retiring circuit clerk said she'd like to be remembered as a public servant who connected people to services and also served as a conduit for other elected officials to communicate.
"I've always wanted to connect people and I strived for that," she said.
Zickefoose said Perdue is the perfect choice to serve in her seat for the next two years to fulfill her term.
"Anita has always shown the desire to learn and she volunteers for conferences and any opportunity to advance our office," she said. "She'll be a fantastic representative of Boone County and a great resource for our citizens."
Boone County Commissioner Brett Kuhn said Zickefoose will be missed.
"Sue Ann is an icon in the Democratic Party (Boone County)," he said. "If you needed a contact in Charleston or in Washington, she could take care of it for you. She will be missed, but I'm sure she will be active in politics — it's in her blood."
The lover of American history said she looks forward to participating in more church-related activities and spending time and traveling with her daughter, Dr. Lisa Beck, who serves as the assistant superintendent for Boone County Schools.
"We like to travel and I want to do that once we've moved past this pandemic," she said. "I'm not one to sit idle, so I'm sure I'll stay busy. I feel very blessed for the life I've lived."

Each symbol represents a particular member.
P.S. There have been some nice people contributing cleans and translations where possible, you can help out as well. Especially with easy stuff like pink lady cleans.
Pink Lady has already been completed by Drunk Ducks.
Yes I tried reading it. Doesn't make any sense. If machine translation was okay I wouldn't bother scanlating. OCR + google translate would work just fine.
I'm glad you're translating Pink Lady even though I've already read the questionable translation by drunkducks; it's a good story and it'd be nice to read it done coherently. (Same with Hanged Doll -- excellent story thats mood was often broken by really bad Engrish.) Especially since it hasn't been completed, anyway!
May I apply for cleaning and typesetting TDND? How can I contact you? Thanks!
I wonder if there is a way for me to help out Pink Lady? I couldn't translate being an online English speaker right now but I'm quite skilled with the computer.

Kalimpura (Green #3)
Jay Lake
This sequel to Jay Lake's Green and Endurance takes Green back to the city of Kalimpura and the service of the Lily Goddess.
Green is hounded by the gods of Copper Downs and the gods of Kalimpura, who have laid claim to her and her children. She never wanted to be a conduit for the supernatural, but when she killed the Immortal Duke and created the Ox god with the power she released, she came to their notice.
Now she has sworn to retrieve the two girls taken hostage by the Bittern Court, one of Kalimpura's rival guilds. But the Temple of the Lily Goddess is playing politics with her life.
Praise For Kalimpura (Green #3)…
"Assassin and ex-courtesan Green has saved a city and birthed a god. Now she wants to move on--but she's hunted by enemies from her past, the city council is mired in a power struggle and can't provide much aid, and something is stalking goddesses, including the one Green serves. Lake deftly weaves complicated, stubborn characters into a plot that reaches the grandest and most personal scales without ever straining credulity…. This complex, lonesome, haunting novel will appeal to fans of Valente, Monette, and Miéville." —Publishers Weekly, starred review on Endurance
"There's something both uplifting and melancholy in this fantasy adventure's tone, which 16-year-old Green narrates with a world-weary old soul's experience, emotional weight hanging from every page. Thoughtful fantasy readers will appreciate Green's newfound perspective and the lush details derived from a mixture of Eastern cultures, as well as the sheer audacity of a killer bisexual nonwhite teen mom protagonist." —Publishers Weekly
"The richness of [Lake's] rendering of urban life as tapestry is genuinely irresistible." —John Clute on Green
"Running with Green over the city's gilded rooftops, plunging through sewers with her to confront a skinless avatar of the God of Pain, readers will feel the exhilaration of freedom deeply prized, unceasingly sought, and hard-won." —Seattle Times on Green
"Lake's poetic metaphors and similes and full circle plotting are wonderfully pleasant to read, making this heroic tale one of the best fantasies of the year." —Sacramento Book Review on Green
Tor Books, 9780765327161, 304pp.
Jay Lake was a prolific writer of science fiction and fantasy, as well as an award-winning editor, a popular raconteur and toastmaster, and an excellent teacher at the many writers' workshops he attended. His novels included Tor's publications Mainspring, Escapement, and Pinion, and the trilogy of novels in his Green cycle - Green, Endurance, and Kalimpura. Lake was nominated multiple times for the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the World Fantasy Award. He won the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer in 2004, the year after his first professional stories were published. In 2008 Jay Lake was diagnosed with colon cancer, and in the years after he became known outside the sf genre as a powerful and brutally honest blogger about the progression of his disease. Jay Lake died on June 1, 2014.

George Stephanopoulos in the awkward Barbara Walters Brooke Shields clip
Brooke Shields has been in the public eye practically her entire life. But she's rarely had control over the images shared of her and how they're framed — until now. Borrowing from one of her most controversial early film roles, the new documentary "Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields" explores the actress' life and career from child model and star to the women's rights activist she is today. The film is the fourth documentary from Lana Wilson, who was last at Sundance with Taylor Swift's doc "Miss Americana". Executive producers are George Stephanopoulus and partners Ali Wentworth, who have been friends of Shields for years.
Along with executive producer Alyssa Mastromonaco, the creative team stopped by Sundance's IndieWire Studio presented by Dropbox to talk with IndieWire's Christian Blauvelt about putting the project together.
"It was chemistry," Wentworth said of the pairing of subject and director. "Lana and Brooke met and it just worked. And I think that whole group made Brooke feel safe to tell her story."
Many of the film's revelations stand in stark contrast to how radically the portrayal of women and girls has changed over the past 40 years. One of the most damning interviews that Shields has ever publicly criticized comes when Barbara Walters questions a young Shields in 1981 about his controversial Calvin Klein ad campaign. While critical of Shields, Stephanopoulus blames the mainstream media more than his late ABC news colleague.
"It really holds a mirror to what the culture was like at the time," Stephanopoulus said. "Remember, everything we saw in this movie was perfectly acceptable at the time, in the '80s and '90s. That's what's so striking about it, you look at things that were made back then and you realize that it could never happen today, it never will. The movie 'Pretty Baby' itself would never be made today."
Wilson added that while some things have progressed for women in the post-MeToo era, others have remained the same.
"I think about the debate a Balenciaga ads, you know what I mean? That was a few weeks ago," said the director. "So we got this far, but we didn't get anywhere any other way. That's what's so interesting and shocking about revisiting these old clips now."
"Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields" premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. The two-part documentary will air on Hulu via ABC News later this year.

Norman Edward McPhee was born to William McPhee and Mary Williams of Goldsmith Street Hamilton in 1896. On 1 October 1914, when just eighteen years and one month, Norman enlisted. He left with the 14th Battalion on 22 December 1914 for Egypt. Norman was at the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915.
After returning to Egypt, Norman transferred to the newly formed 46th Battalion on 3 March 1916 and proceeded to France in June 1916. Their first battle on the Western Front was Pozieres. On 26 August, Norman was promoted to Corporal.
On 13 March 1917, the Hamilton Spectator reported Norman's mother had heard that he'd been "slightly wounded" in France. In that month, Norman was granted furlough in England and he did not rejoin his battalion, then in Belgium, until 4 August 1917. On 15 September 1917, Norman was promoted to Sergeant.
A report of his death in the Hamilton Spectator on 11 October 1917, noted that in 1060 days with the AIF, Norman had served at Gallipoli including the landing, Pozieres, Somme and Bullecourt. A tree was planted for Norman along Hamilton's Anzac Avenue and his name is on the Hamilton War Memorial.


Rashaan Holloway, a senior studying electronic media and multi-media management at Ohio University Lancaster chose his major to gain knowledge and experience in several multimedia fields and ultimately find employment in a career in advertising or film production.
"Part of what helped my decision to study this field is my understanding that careers involving electronic media are rapidly growing and expanding due to the rise of social media, society's round-the-clock attachment to their phones and electronic devices, and the overall need for people who understand the business aspect of the digital world," he said.
Public relations is a growing field for media majors. Many businesses need employees to bring creativity to their social media and advertising messaging.
Courses have students working with audio recording and mixing, video production, editing and web design.
Lower-level media classes require students to plan project pitches with the option to not execute them. Media Sales and Advertising allows them to create proposals for different media platforms. Students could work with local businesses to make their ideas come to life.
Two 2000-level courses give students the opportunity to work on several video productions that slowly incorporate different elements of filmmaking. Intro to Video Production includes work on a silent film short and two other works with sound.
Advanced Video Production outlines four different topical media projects: Campus Story, Person at Work, Mood Piece and Mini-Drama. These productions grow more complex from a public relations video meant to advertise the university to a feature-film style video complete with characters and a plot.
Holloway said he's working on a 1940's detective noir short with fellow electronic media students, friends and family. They will submit it to a few local film festivals in the fall. He has had plenty of project opportunities including a potential commercial to promote a local barbershop. OUL Theatre plays and Columbus filmmakers have helped Holloway keep his acting skills sharp.
The electronic media degree can be completed with two years of full-time study at OUL. Electronic media students can further their education at OUL with a bachelor's in technical or applied studies or communication studies or easily transition to the Ohio University Athens campus to complete their bachelor's degree.

How much of a priority should you make employee training? I'm sure this is a question that you have contemplated in the past. Like many business decisions, the biggest issue that you have to wrestle with is the return that you will get on your investment. In other words, what's the cost-benefit? If labour can be obtained relatively inexpensively and the cost of turnover is minimal, training your workforce likely won't be a priority for you. However, if this isn't the case, training should be given due attention.
Training can take many forms, including being formal or informal, taking place in a classroom, in the regular workspace, off-site or on-site. Training will likely be required during the orientation period for new hires; for example, learning how to operate a specialized piece of equipment. From there, it's common for training to take place throughout the life cycle of employment. As well, some training – for licensing or legal purposes – will be mandatory.
Not all training opportunities need to cost a large sum of money. Although not necessarily defined as training, one low cost method of skill development is through mentorship opportunities. Pairing a senior staff member with a junior staff member can pay dividends to both parties. Training can also be for one employee or may be applicable to your entire workforce. By sending multiple employees to a training course, seminar, etc., you may find cost savings through a group discount. Alternatively, if you have a several staff that could benefit from the same training, it may make sense to bring the trainer right to your organization.
From a budgeting perspective, it's important to allocate money for training purposes. Ideally, this will be part of your overall strategic planning process, where you identify the skills that your people will need in order for your company to gain (or retain) a competitive advantage. Essentially, careful thought should be put into determining the skills that your people resources will need over the coming months or years. As part of your overall training budget, offering a specified dollar amount to each of your employees for development purposes is a great way to provide your staff with some flexibility in the training that they receive. For example, in consultation with their manager, an employee who is interested in developing their leadership skills may want to attend a course to help them grow in this area. This approach will benefit your organization from an employee engagement perspective.
Purposeful training will be beneficial to your employees, and in turn, to your organization. In many cases, the development of skills can provide a competitive advantage for your company. Training enables employees to gain new skills and to enhance the skills that they already possess, and continuous learning will help to keep your workforce engaged. Ensure that training is given the attention that it deserves – you won't regret it!

Sustainable harvest is increasingly seen to be the most important conservation strategy for most wild-harvested species and their habitats, given their current and potential contributions to local economies and their greater value to harvesters over the long term. The basic idea is that non-destructive harvests and local benefits will maintain population, species and ecosystem diversity.
Besides poverty and the break-down of traditional controls, the major challenges for sustainable wild-collection include: lack of knowledge about sustainable harvest rates and practices, undefined land use rights and lack of legislative and policy guidance.
"The most important ingredient required to achieve a truly sustainable form of resource use is information" (Peters 1994). In reality, resource managers are always confronted with the lack of adequate information about the plants used, their distribution, the genetic diversity of wild populations and relatives and, above all, the annual sustained yield that can be harvested without damaging the populations (Iqbal 1993). Research on the conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants and their habitats has fallen far behind the demand for this globally important resource. Each species has unique ecological, socio-economic, health and cultural associations that must be understood. Model research approaches are feasible, model solutions are not.
In many cases, access to the resource is open to everybody, rather than a limited access or private ownership. To make a living, commercial medicinal plant gatherers therefore "mine" rather than manage these resources (Cunningham 1994). Open access schemes to harvestable plant population prevent rational and cautious use and make it difficult to adhere to quotas and closed seasons.
Information on trade in MAP is scarce and data are rarely collected or published at a national level. Much production and consumption is at subsistence level and as a consequence the economic importance of these activities is largely under-estimated in government decision making regarding rural development, natural resource management planning and in government budget allocations (Vantomme in Anon. 2002a). Therefore, national legislation and policies mostly fail to provide frameworks for a rational and sustainable use of wild resource.
Opportunities for governments to develop legislation to control and monitor harvest and trade of medicinal plant species and to consider conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants as a priority in establishing protected areas have been greatly enhanced by two recent developments in international legislation: the addition of medicinal plant species to the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) and the entry into force of the CBD (see Appendix 2).

Are you only using a small fragment of your potential?
Integral theory is an incredible map that attempts to describe "everything" – how can is this possible?? Well luckily it doesn't go into detail about every little thing in the universe, which would make for a very complete but rather boring map, but instead notices that there are certain fundamentals of any particular occasion, and that these laws can be applied to the whole of manifest reality. Although this can sound rather dry (and often it is), when properly understood and embodied it can really expand our minds and understanding of ourselves and the universe in which we live.
According to Integral Theory, there are at least 4 primary dimensions or perspectives through which we can experience the world: subjective, intersubjective, objective, and interobjective.
Subjective quadrant – we find the world of our individual, interior experiences: our thoughts, emotions, memories, states of mind, perceptions, and immediate sensations—in other words, our "I" space.
Intersubjective quadrant – we find the world of our colletive, interior experiences: our shared values, meanings, language, relationships, and cultural background—in other words, our "we" space.
Objective quadrant – we find the world of individual, exterior things: our material body (including brain) and anything that you can see or touch (or observe scientifically) in time and space—in other words, our "it" space.
Interobjective quadrant – we find the world of collective, exterior things: systems, networks, technology, government, and the natural environment—in other words, our "its" space.
Lines are present in each quadrant, arising as distinct developmental domains or capacities. They are defined as relatively independent capacities of growth and emergence that unfold in levels or stages. The relative independence of lines stresses that they can be developed to various higher or lower degrees. (This explains the different levels of the lines we see in the psychograph.) Whilst we typically focus on lines of human development in the UL quadrant, lines are actually present in all quadrants, serving as areas of growth in tetra-evolution..
The relative independence of lines does not preclude some important necessary but not sufficient relationships. i.e. A certain degree of physiological development is necessary but not sufficient for cognitive development, and so for cognitive development > self-development > interpersonal development > moral development. Lines have levels and levels arise within lines. They are mutually inter-dependant but can be investigated separately.
Levels correspond to the degree of progression one has developed along a specific line, sometimes referrered to as stages of development in other systems. These measure progression that has stabalized to a degree and can be see as being different to states in this regard, because there is a duration over time.
In spiral dynamics model is a elegant example of levels of cultural development in both individuals and cultures as a whole. Levels arise in all quadrants, because they are connected to lines of development, which can grow in any of the quadrants and are often interlinked – development in brain structures, correlate to changes in consciousness.
Like levels, states describe where something is at on a scale. The distinction is one of time – levels are capacities that have been gained in a linear progression, and once gained remain. States qualities emerge in a particular moment but could change up or down the scale again – I.e Ice to water, to steam, back to water and back to ice.
Our own consciousness can be in gross waking state, a dreamlike subtle state, deep meditative causal states or in non-dual awareness – regardless of the level of development it's still possible it is possible for one to enter into these states regardless of the level of development as seen in the image on the right. An enlightened state of consciousness is not necessarily mature in actions or perspectives.
Finally we come to types – this refers to items that can be present at virtually any stage or state – for example, regardless of my state of consciousness, or my level of cultural perspective development, I am a man. So male/female is a type, as are categorizations of people by star sign, or personality type. A beautiful example of a personality type is the enneagram which describes 9 basic perspectives or reactions to situations in the world that people tend towards.
There are even orientations towards which quarants we tend to look towards first of take a perspective from – this is also a typology.

Q: python: when can I unpack a generator? How does it work under the hood? I don't understand the reason for the errors below:
>>> def f():
...     yield 1,2
...     yield 3,4
...
>>> *f()
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    *f()
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> zip(*f())
[(1, 3), (2, 4)]
>>> zip(f())
[((1, 2),), ((3, 4),)]
>>> *args = *f()
File "<stdin>", line 1
  *args = *f()
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

A: Running this in Python 3 gives a more descriptive error message.
>>> *f()
SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment target

A: The *iterable syntax is only supported in an argument list of a function call (and in function definitions).
In Python 3.x, you can also use it on the left-hand side of an assignment, like this:
[*args] = [1, 2, 3]

Edit: Note that there are plans to support the remaining generalisations.

A: The two errors are showing the same thing: you can't use * on the left-hand side of an expression.
I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen in those cases, but it's not valid.
