blind men and elephant fish 맹인들과 코끼리 물고기: "The same song with different words"
So we had an interesting and very productive meeting at the Ripple offices the other day. It was my first time to meet Force and Joyce from Ripple and they were both impressive and capable. I learned a lot about Ripple's conservation work in the nearby Kandoli Hills where they have set up conservation committees and formed local bylaws with efficiency and deft political skill. According to Force, setting up a similar conservation program along the lakeshore would simply be "the same song with different words." He and Alex have a well thought out game plan for its implementation. I have stated my willingness to assist them but at this stage, where getting approvals from various local government officials is paramount, they are certainly more capable than I. Once the committees are established, a process I am very much interested in documenting rather than assisting in, The Maru, our research center, may have a role in developing a sensitization campaign and literature that the committees will disseminate to the local villagers about the importance of using the lake's resources sustainably and the consequences of not doing so. Following that The Maru will be assisting in the development of a community monitoring program so that the efficacy of any bylaws that are developed can be tested.
The meeting was also a fairly long one however. Force is an expressive fellow and could wax rather eloquently about his passion for conservation. Most of the time, however, if you will exuse the pun, it felt like a pretty forced performance. I don't necessarily blame him for that, nor do I wholly doubt his sincerity, but in retrospect I think the presence of three foreigners at the meeting (out of a total of 6 people) was a mistake. It put Force and the other Malawians into the position of feeling like they needed to perform for us their knowledge of, and allegiance to, what they supposed was our Western conservation ethic. Certainly the meeting would have taken a different course had we not been there. So instead of discussions about operational details such as task allocation, budgeting, strategy, and developing an implementation schedule, we spent most of the time wading through Force's conservation rhetoric.
This is a common problem when westerners take part in or instigate development programs in non-western contexts. Locals whom they enroll in these programs feel the need to spend a great deal of time demonstrating to westerners their allegiance to what they suppose to be our goals. Rather than working with westerners to formulate, on an equal-footing, what those goals should be and how they should be implemented, local counterparts adopt western goals with great enthusiasm (Force was taking his shirt off at one point) but with only partial credibility. And I think the we are mostly to blame for this. We are very bad at recognizing our own reflexivity and at creating non-judgmental spaces within which westerners and locals can creatively and cooperatively devise development programs. And unfortunately the local cultures within which we work often don't help us out very much in this regard in that they tend to be more overtly hierarchical than our own. Locals themselves often find it in easier, or at least more natural, to pledge their allegiance than to stand on an equal footing with us. In Malawi I have often felt myself falling into the roll of a "Bwana" (boss) not because I have actively chosen it but because it is frankly hard to create relationships of parity with local Malawians both because their local culture doesn't operate on such terms and because the history of my culture's interaction with theirs has been so appallingly unequal.
No answers here really but I think valid concerns.

This Past Weekend in IL & WI
Sun., Oct. 26. 2008 4:25pm EDT
We launched a "comeback" tour of sorts this past weekend in Chicago (Oak Lawn IL) and Green Bay WI. It was our second year in a row coming back to Oak Lawn IL and our 10th year in a row in Green Bay. In fact, we've now played a total of 22 concerts at the Cup O' Joy. But some audience members were only seeing us for the first time:
This was the first time I heard you, so I didn't know what to expect. Awesome, funny, and spiritual all at the same time. I can't wait to see you again."
Staff, Cup O' Joy
We also received some nice comments from the regulars:
Thank you for playing hIs music tonight. You're always fun and a little goofy. I can't wait till next year!
Thanks for an excellent show as always.
It is always so fun to have you here and rock and out. Thanks for blessing us!
We had visitors come from as far away as Poland (Friday) and Czechoslovakia (Saturday). Some other fans from Florida came to Friday's show. Honorable mention to Rich Polick, and his daughter, Marie, who drove from Pittsburgh to see us in Green Bay. Rich has now seen ApologetiX play 126 concerts in 23 states, and Marie has seen 103 concerts in 22 states.
Our concert coordinators: Mel MIchalski (Oak Lawn) and Jan Oettinger (Green Bay).
Our merchandise coordinators: Kimberly, Jerry, Johanna, and Jorge (Oak Lawn IL); and Marie, Melissa, Eve, and Dan (Green Bay).
Our bus driver: "Danger" Dan Uber, who has now driven for us nine times. Between driving and coming to concerts, Dan has now seen us play 34 concerts in 15 states.
Our roadies: Rich (Green Bay).
Our guest guitarist: Tom Milnes of the legendary Christian rock band H3O.


Constitutionalism and coloniality: A case of colonialism continued or the best of both worlds?
This article deals with the concept of constitutionalism in relation to colonialism and modernity, with a specific emphasis upon South Africa and South African constitutional development. The Republic of South Africa transitioned from an authoritarian regime to a democratic regime in 1994 and adopted a constitution that is to contribute in the consolidation of its young democracy. However, amidst continued struggles within the South African polity and an emphasis upon de-colonisation, it is necessary to afford attention to aspects of South African constitutionalism. This article relates a discussion of constitutionalism with coloniality and modernity, and considers the nature of the South African Constitution and constitutionalism in this respect. Attention is afforded to unpacking these concepts and the consideration of alternatives, in order to transform or decolonize South African constitutionalism. In this regard reference is made to the nature of constitutionalism, the context of the South African Constitution and the discussion of three approaches to South African constitutionalism that might be helpful in addressing the contested nature thereof. These three approaches are: transformative constitutionalism, progressive constitutionalism and Ubuntu. The article concludes that no definitive or final solutions can be offered, except to suggest that the continued emphasis of these understandings of constitutionalism could perhaps contribute to the actualization and recognition of a deeper and fuller democratic constitutionalism for South Africa, that will also entail finding a balance between modernity and coloniality, because it is suggested that, in the end, there cannot be a complete divorce between these two worlds. Only in this way, it is suggested, can be moved to a South African constitutionalism that embraces the best of both worlds.

FOOD RECYCLING LAW REVS UP REUSE RATE IN JAPAN
In Japan, roughly 19.4 million tons of food residuals were generated in 1996. Only about nine percent – or 1.68 million tons – were recovered, with most incinerated or landfilled – contributing to Japan's growing shortages of final disposal sites. Aware of the problems, the Japanese government in 2001 enacted the Food Recycling Law, requiring that all food-related businesses increase reuse rates by 20 percent by the end of this year. Four recovery methods are recommended in the Law: Composting; Producing fodder for livestock; Manufacturing oil and fat products such as biodiesel and printing inks; and Utilizing methane from fermentation.
In Aya Town of Miyazaki Prefecture, reports the newsletter Japan for Sustainability, organic waste is collected and turned into compost, then sold to local farmers as "Aya's Natural Fertilizer." In Kyoto City, officials promote waste oil recycling by processing 5,000 liters of cooking oil into biodiesel as part of its biomass utilization strategy.
COMPOSTED RECYCLED PAPER USED AS "MAJOR WEAPON" AGAINST PLANT DISEASES
At the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, a research team led by Prof. Ralph Noble is showing that composted recycled paper can cut plant disease by as much as 72 percent. Results from trials with conifers using compost made from paper waste indicates that it's providing similar disease suppressing effect as green compost made from plant waste. Explains Prof. Noble: "In Britain, about half a million tons of these small, unusable fibers are produced each year. They have a potential use in growing media because they hold a lot of water, just like peat and, being a waste product, they have no other value."
Suppression of plant diseases was particularly noticeable, reports the UK Composting News for Winter 2006, when the green and recycled paper composts were added to peat where "clean and uniform materials make the plants growing in it susceptible to quickly spreading plant diseases." In contrast, compost contains a diversity of microbes that can suppress plant diseases.
Adds Prof. Noble: "There should be no additional costs involved but we must still test the reliability of using composts for a wide range of commercial crops." His survey found that when added to peat, green compost suppressed plant disease by the following average amounts: Fusarium oxysporum – 61 percent; Phytophthora nicotianae – 72 percent; Phythium ultimum – 46 percent; Rhizoctonia solani – 29 percent; and Verticillium dahliae – 32 percent.
PENNSYLVANIA DIGESTER IS READY FOR METHANE, MULCH & MONEY
The Morrisons Cove area of Pennsylvania's Clover Creek Watershed is home to 25,000 dairy cattle that produce 190 tons of manure daily – but in the Martinsburg borough, elevated nitrate levels in the water supply are causing problems. The Cove Area Regional Digester Project (CARD) was challenged with developing a digester to solve the problem, reports The Rottin' News, newsletter of the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania (PROP). The latest grant – given by The Chesapeake Bay Commission – has enabled CARD to advance into the testing phase, operating for 60 days on a Martinsburg farm. All raw manure will be brought by contracted haulers where – after offloading – will be thickened via a centrifuge to reduce digester volume. Thickened manure will be sent to the modified Anaerobic Egg-Shaped Digester (ESD) which uses advanced wastewater treatment technology to enhance volatile solids destruction and produce more methane gas per pound. ESD will operate at a thermophilic temperature of 145°F with a residence time of 12 days.
Following digestion, reports Rottin' News, which stabilizes the manure, digested solids are dewatered to improve handling characteristics and reduce excess water content. All wastewater on site will be combined and treated to yield a discharge that complies with the highest standards of state and regional regulations. With excess capacity, the CARD will be able to receive municipal biosolids for beneficial use from several municipalities. The digester technology can render material pathogenic free to produce Class A biosolids. Summarizes PROP:
"The concept is to encourage municipalities to 'recycle' their biosolids instead of landfilling or land applying. Tipping fee charged at the CARD facility will be lower than tipping fees at landfills. Estimated cost of the project is $25 million with expected annual revenue of $2.3 million from sale of electricity, tipping fees for biosolids disposal, sale of soil amendment products, and carbon trading credits." For further project information, e-mail Julie Dick of CARD at: covedigester @earthlink.net.
MAKE ROOM FOR ALGAE TO PRODUCE GREATER RATES OF BIOENERGY
Organic Matters, the annual publication of the Ecological Farming Association, sheds some new light on the power of algae. "While most current research is focused on terrestrial plants, algae produces substantially greater rates of bioenergy. The per unit yield of oil from algae is seven to 31 times greater than the next best crop, palm oil!" Michael Briggs of the University of New Hampshire Biodiesel Group calls algae one of the most photosynthetically efficient plants that can use human or animal waste as a food source and grow in a wide range of conditions. Both the Universities of New Hampshire and Hawaii have programs that see promise in algae. Ecogenics – a small research nonprofit in Tennessee – has created a closed loop ecosystem that uses animal waste to create methane, which fuels an algae culture greenhouse. The algae is fermented to create biodiesel, writes Organic Matters, and the solids are used as animal and fish feed. Visit www.eco-farm.org.
ELECTRONICS RECYCLING LEGISLATION SHOWS STEADY ADVANCES
Legislation to recover electronic equipment and prevent toxic components from contaminating local environments is being adopted around the country. Initiatives include: California – Advanced Recovery Fee (ARF) will finance recycling program. Fee to be collected at time of sale of covered electronic devices (CEDs); Maine – Law represents shared responsibility between manufacturers, state and consumers. Municipalities operate and pay for collection sites. End-of-life fees are charged for drop-off; Maryland – Law sets up a 5-year pilot requiring all computer manufacturers to pay a flat fee of $5,000 to sell computers. A portion of the fee money is available for grants to municipalities that set up collection programs; New Hampshire – A disposal ban for video display devices in landfills will take effect on July l, 2007; New Jersey – Hybrid bill requires an ARF for TVs and producer responsibility for computers. Bill may become a full ARF for all covered electronic equipment; Rhode Island – Disposal ban for certain electronic equipment takes effect in 2008; New York – Two bills in 2006 required producer responsibility for electronic equipment recycling, using market share and return share financing mechanisms.
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES DEVELOP PROGRAMS USING COMPOST AS THERAPY
A community composting project is setting up demonstration sites across Europe, reports the British publication Resource! to highlight the many benefits of sustainable waste management – specifically composting. The report begins: "What links recovering drug addicts at a rehabilitation center on the island of Salamina, off the coast of Athens, with adults with learning difficulties at a care home south of Prague? The answer is that both are establishing composting projects as part of a new initiative to set up community composting demonstration sites across Europe."
The Growing with Compost project is a partnership between Ecological Recycling Society in Greece; the Czech University of Agriculture in Prague; Friends of the Earth, Slovak Republic; Community Composting Network UK; and RREUSE, a European network funded by the European Commission's Grundtvig program. Composting is now being added to the list of skills residents can acquire, along with jewelry making and cooking. For more information on the project, visit: www.growingwithcompost.org.
MAKING FUEL-GRADE ETHANOL "GOOD ENOUGH TO DRINK"
Fuel ethanol could be cheaply and quickly converted into the purer, cleaner alcohol that goes into alcoholic drinks, cough medicines and mouth washes, announced Iowa State University researchers in the October 2006 issue of Resource magazine. Jacek Koziel of the ISU Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department is studying two technologies to purify and remove bad-tasting components from fuel ethanol. He is working with Hans van Leeuwen, vice president of a Cedar Rapids firm called Mell03z. The Iowa Corn Promotion Board says the state has 25 plants capable of producing 1.5 billion gallons of fuel ethanol. Multiple distillations required to make food-grade alcohol raise costs to about 50 cents per gallon more. The goal is to drop that amount to less than a penny per gallon.
One technology would be solid phase microextraction to collect samples of compounds in the alcohols. Another is gas chromatography – mass spectrometry to identify and quantify all compounds in the samples. Koziel would use his lab's olfactometry equipment to separate and analyze smells created by various compounds. He can be contacted at koziel@iastate.edu.
RENEWABLE ENERGY PURCHASES CONTINUE TO INCREASE
More than 650 corporations purchase 7.2 billion kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually, an increase of nearly 240 percent since the end of 2004, says the U.S. EPA. Global clean energy markets for wind and solar alone are estimated to be growing to nearly $100 billion by 2015. "We have seen an increasing awareness that major companies are reducing and offsetting their energy footprint," says an executive with San Francisco-based 3 Phases Energy Services. Overall, the U.S. generated more than 55 million MWh of renewable energy in 2005 equal to 1.5 percent of the nation's total electricity generation.
RECYCLING IS GOOD BUSINESS
A recent announcement from Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania continues to confirm the long-proven fact that recycling is as much a job creation and economic development tool as it is a landfill "diverter." In announcing that 171 Pennsylvania communities will share grants totaling more than $5.5 million for their recycling efforts in 2004, Rendell cited some encouraging statistics borne from recycling initiatives. According to the governor, more than 3,200 recycling and reuse businesses and organizations in the state generate more than $18 billion in gross annual sales and provide jobs for more than 81,000 employees at an annual payroll of approximately $2.9 billion. These businesses add more than $305 million in taxes to the state treasury. In 2004, nearly 4.8 million tons of recyclable materials were recovered. The economic value of remaking those materials into new and useful products exceeded $113 million. Communities avoided some $260 million in disposal costs based on the estimated statewide average disposal cost of $54 per ton.
The recycling grants are awarded to communities based on their performance. "These grants give Pennsylvania communities a direct incentive to recycle," Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen A. McGinty says. "The more they recycle, the more they receive in recycling performance grants. I encourage local officials to use this money to support even stronger municipal recycling programs, which play an essential role in environmental protection and economic growth in communities across the state." The recycling efforts also save energy, reduce air and water pollution, and limit the need for virgin materials in manufacturing. According to the commonwealth's statistics, recycling saved almost 66 trillion British thermal units (BTUs) of energy, enough to power 643,000 homes for one year in Pennsylvania or the equivalent of conserving 531 million gallons of gasoline.
NEW REPORT ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE EXPLORES FARM ABILITY TO PRODUCE CELLULOSIC BIOFUELS
The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) published a report in late November that addresses the question, "Can American farmers feed the growing fuel industry?" The publication explains the potential of cellulosic biomass as an energy resource and the potential of no-till cropping for greater residue collection. It also proposes guidelines and incentives to encourage farmers to produce, harvest and deliver feedstock to the growing biorefinery industry. The report examines sustainable harvesting of farm residues – such as corn stover and cereal straws, and discusses economic benefits for farmers who invest in practices and equipment needed. BIO represents more than 1,100 biotechnology companies who are involved in development. For a complete copy, visit www.bio.org/ind.
EFFECTS OF COMPOSTED YARD TRIMMINGS ON WATER MOVEMENT IN SANDY SOILS
A two-year study at the Immokalee campus of the University of Florida showed that compost can help maintain the same level of soil moisture that can reduce runoff and deep percolation, while achieving water conservation. The study was done by C. Pandey and S. Shukla, and reported in the Autumn 2006 issue of Compost Science & Utilization. The objective was to quantify effects of composted yard trimmings on water movement, especially with retention for vegetable production systems with raised bed and plastic mulch. "Results indicated that soil moisture in the compost field, was consistently higher," they point out. "Addition of compost increased soil moisture in the root zone as well as the capillary fringe, which can lower water table depth. The compost can maintain the same moisture that would be present for the shallower water table."
PHYTOTOXICITY OF BIOSOLIDS COMPOST AT DIFFERENT DEGREES OF MATURITY
Biosolids compost is a good organic amendment but immature compost can exhibit phytotoxic behavior reflecting different toxic substances, note two University of Buenos Aires scientists in Argentina. They write: "Our objective was to determine the phytoxicity of Biosolids; Mix of biosolids and sawdust a day after composting started; same materials at end of thermophilic stage; cured compost." Observed researchers Maria Zubillaga and Paul Lavado: Phytotoxicity was related mainly to extract pH and electrical conductivity. Potentially toxic elements, volatile organic acids, phenolic compounds and ammonia were not related to germination, they write in the Autumn 2006 issue of Compost Science & Utilization.

RECYCLED RUBBER SIDEWALKS SHOW VERSATILITY OF SCRAP TIRES
A California firm that recycles scrap tires and rubber into sidewalks will partner with an East Coast company that shares their environmental vision. The latest issue of Scrap Tire News explains how a Gardens, California firm called Rubbersidewalks Inc. has supplied special panels to more than 60 municipalities since 2004. To defray shipping costs and increase availability, RubberForm Recycled Products LLC will produce rubber panels at its 16,100 sq ft facility in Lockport, New York. Founded in 2001, Rubbersidewalks kept testing the concept and in 2005 began seeking an East Coast partner. Explains the firm: "Sidewalks made of rubber, recycled shredded tires, hold up longer than concrete because they bend, instead of breaking from weather extremes and tree roots." STN also reports that the Boston City Council is proposing to install sidewalks made from recycled tires and that "repairs would be quieter because jackhammers would not be needed."
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY JOINS CHICAGO CLIMATE EXCHANGE
As part of its steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Michigan State University (MSU) has joined the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), North America's only emission registry. Imbalances – such as too much carbon gas released into the air – result in global warming. Members of the CCX seek to reduce direct emissions by conserving energy and to provide opportunities to offset emissions such as no-till farming, tree farming or other carbon credits. MSU will work to achieve the prescribed six percent reduction goal. "We have 10,000 graduates each year," explains Fred Poston, vice president of operations at MSU. "We want to send them off equipped to be environmentally responsible. MSU's strength is that the integration of students speeds the translation to behavioral change." Membership in CCX will also position the state's bioeconomy base, helping to move farming toward solutions in renewable fuels and environmentally sound practices (like composting). MSU will be the fifth university to join CCX – along with Tufts, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota and University of Oklahoma.

Stretching 50 miles along Lake Superior's south shore, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is a hiker's and camper's dream. Visit the Log Slide, Sable Falls, Grand Sable Lake, Au Sable Light Station, and see other waterfalls, lakes, beaches, and woodlands that make up this pristine park, featuring three modern campgrounds and numerous backcountry campsites. The North Country Trail passes along the shoreline and is open year-round for the outdoor enthusiast. Phone: (906) 387-3700. Visit the National Park Service web page for Pictured Rocks.
Located about one mile west Grand Marais; the best place to view is from the trail beginning at the Sable Falls parking area. Another access point for the dunes is from the North Country Trail, one-quarter mile east of the Log Slide. Please stay on the trail as the dunes vegetation is fragile. Five square miles of Grand Sable Dunes are perched atop the 300-foot high Grand Sable Banks. Left by enormous glaciers, the Grand Sable Dunes dwarf comprehension. A portion of the Grand Sable Dunes is set aside as a Research Natural Area.
Located about 7 miles west of Grand Marais on Alger County Road H-58, then almost 1 mile north on Log Slide Road. Legend has it that logs sent down the dry log chute would generate enough friction to cause the chute to catch fire. Today the chute is gone, but the lumberjack stories still linger as you gaze out over the Grand Sable Banks and Dunes. This is a good place to glimpse the Au Sable Light Station to the west and the Grand Sable Banks and Grand Marais to the east.

After its destruction in 1944, the theater was rebuilt by Hans Volkart and inaugurated in 1962.
The opera house in Stuttgart is not only prestigious in Europe, without one of the most adored in its style, even its entrance is unusual, its stands give to the garden of the New Palace, its main auditorium has pillars with classic style. Created between 1909 and 1912 by Max Littman as the theater of the Royal Court. And its impressive beauty continues to this day, both inside and outside. The royal house was dedicated to the last king of Wurttemberg, who reconstructed the theater with opulence and elegance, its brown roofs with pearls guarantee the view to both opera and ballet, a special experience from the first minute.
The inhabitants of the city are proud of their theater with good reason, the city has one of the largest tripartite theaters in the world. The ballet of the city, the opera and the theater plays share the same locality.
For 50 years the ballet of the city has received worldwide recognition, frequently receiving invitations for international presentations, the ballet rose its international fame for its great choreography, its director John Cranko brought the miracle of ballet to Sttutgart in 1960, the high level Perfect technical and the wide range of styles in the repertoire, not only attracts its long and varied audience, but also the best artists in the world.
The opera of Stuttgart has a repertoire also with classic and innovative work, new interpretations with a reputation for musical theater under directors of great firm. Famous contemporary composers, they also have the opera house as their home.

Muslim Leader Says "Terrorism is Part of Islam"
by eaglerising
Muslim religious leader and educator Anjem Choudary has been making the rounds through the media in recent days on Fox News, CNN and now RT. Choudary is an expert on Sharia law and the ideological leader of many Muslims in America and the United Kingdom. He has been called a "radical," but in reality he is one of the foremost thinkers in "mainstream' western Islam; he is called radical because he comes agonizingly close to endorsing the terrorist regimes of the Islamic world.
However, Choudary says that far from being "radical," he is simply reading and obeying what the Koran says.
Recently our President said this of ISIS and Islam.
"ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state; it was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government nor by the people it subjugates."
"ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple, and it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way."
Once again, President Obama could not be more wrong. Islam does indeed condone the killing of "innocents." At least, we would consider them innocent… Islam would just consider them infidels – no guilt or innocence necessary. But don't just take my word for it, let's see what a bona fide Islamic SCHOLAR says…
"As a lecturer in Sharia law, I would say to the people in Russia, the Muslims and the non-Muslims, that every action for a Muslim must be based upon the Koran, the word of Allah, and the teachings of the messenger Mohammed…who is the final messenger for mankind. I mean I would first invite the people to think about and embrace Islam, but those who are already Muslim must know that Allah mentions in the Koran, in fact, if you look in chapter 8 verse 60, he said prepare as much as you can 'steeds of war' to terrorize the enemy. So terrorizing the enemy is in fact part of Islam. I mean this is something that we must embrace and understand as far as the jurisprudence of Islam is concerned."
Liberals all over the western world are leading us to destruction (in more ways than one). When they discuss Islam they do it through their lens of understanding. This is why they so often equate Islam and Christianity. They "understand" Christianity, they've been raised on the quotes and morals of the New Testament scriptures, and they erroneously believe that Islam is somehow akin to what they've been taught of the Bible. The same thing happens when they talk about the Quran. They think that because the Quran is the "Scripture" of Islam that it is probably very similar to the Bible… when in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
Sadly, they do this to our detriment. It's why liberals like President Obama continue to miscalculate in their dealing with the Islamic world and why they continue to underestimate just how dangerous Islamic terrorism can be. His own words convey just how little he really understands what is actually happening in the world. If we continue to elect liberals who believe in some kind of fairy tale Islam, then we are damning ourselves to a future filled with violence and pain…
Here's the full Anjem Choudary interview from RT.

Learning to swim showed Michael Murphy the health benefits of ending his smoking habit and opened up a whole new life for him. Read about his Quit journey here.
In 2015 Waterford man Michael Murphy decided to kick the habit for good.
He had tried to quit every New Year's Day, using every possible method, for a decade before finally making the breakthrough.
"I tried patches twice, I went to the Alan Carr clinic, I tried just giving up without anything and there was even a thing that you sniffed up your nose, an inhaler, that I tried for two years," the 50-year-old confesses.
Despite his best efforts, Michael always ended up back smoking, promising to quit again the next New Year's Day.
That was until he thought about his three-year-old son, Leon, and was struck by a harsh realization. "I said I'd be another ten years smoking by the time he's 13 and I'd probably be dying of cancer at that stage," Michael says.
The thought stayed with Michael and he began another attempt to quit, this time using a nicotine substitute in tablet form. And he was under no illusions that it would be easy.
"Everybody says the first three weeks are the hardest, but in a way, they're the easiest because everything's a novelty," he tells us.
"You're throwing away the ashtray, you're cleaning out the car where you smoked and everybody's saying 'oh you're off them', 'well done' and 'you're brilliant'.
Michael would remind himself he was on a 12-month mission whenever a craving struck. "I'd say I won't have one now, I'll have one tomorrow. And an hour later I'd forget all about it."
Michael took up a healthy hobby in the evenings, one that would show him the damage his cigarette addiction was causing. "I learned to swim, to try something physical. I remember getting one length of the pool and I nearly had to be resuscitated but there was a group of us doing it and I kept it up for a whole year.
"You don't always feel great - you might start getting headaches because you're getting more oxygen!" he adds.
Michael advises anybody giving up using nicotine replacement to keep them with him or her a month or two after the course finishes; so they'll have something close to hand on a bad day.
"Don't cod yourself that you're going to feel brilliant because you might feel a bit miserable," he adds. "That's just part of it. There were days when I was just so down that I just went to bed.
Michael's story was originally published in the Sunday World.


Home Products & Tools DIY Cleaning Products 7 Cleaning Products & Tools I Can't Live Without!
It would be an understatement to say that we've had our fair share of experiences with cleaning products and tools over the years here at Clean My Space HQ. Some we absolutely love and have used for years, others… not so much. I always like to share what works for us so I can help you guys by making your cleaning routines just a little bit easier. So, here are seven of our favorite cleaning products and tools.
We first learned about castile soap ten years ago, and the idea of a vegetable based soap seemed odd. However, it has become incredibly popular because you can use it on almost anything in your house – castile soaps are neutral and very safe. Castile soap can be a great replacement for dish liquid in the event that you want to use something vegetable based instead of synthetic, and it's safe to use on your hands and body.
It's hard to imagine cleaning anything without a good quality sponge, especially if there's any grime you have to break through. However, not all sponges are the same, some stand out above the rest! We recommend getting a Skoy scrub pad – basically, it's a flat scrub pad that's super easy to clean, and they scrub without scratching.
The second type is non-scratching, non-cellulose sponge. They don't stain, they don't hold on to odors and they're much easier to keep clean. These are fabulous for doing any wipe downs or any general cleaning where you don't need to use anything heavy-duty.
Enzyme cleaners are essential because they work differently than any other cleaning product. Regular soap has surfactants, which help raise dirt to the surface so you can easily wipe it away. Enzyme cleaners work by actually breaking down the dirt. They work the same as enzymes in your body; When you eat a cracker your saliva contains enzymes that break down the cracker making easy for you to swallow and digest. Enzyme cleaners do the exact same thing. They essentially chew up anything on the surface such as bacteria, grease, grime, dirt, odors, pet stains, and all you need to do is wipe it away afterward!
While disposable items aren't great on the whole when it comes to waste, this is one area where we make an exception. Having gloves that you can remove and toss away in a sanitary fashion is important when cleaning, especially those grosser areas of your home (I'm talking toilets here!). A good disposable glove can turn you into a cleaning super hero, able to tackle even the least pleasant tasks.
Essential oils are essential to DIY cleaning, they're featured in so many of our recipes and hacks, and you need them if you want to mask scents like vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and rubbing alcohol. You can add these oils to your cleaning solution to create amazing scents, and not only do they smell great, but they have different properties that are helpful when it comes to cleaning; antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, etc.
The most important point when buying essential oils is to make sure you're getting only 100% pure essential oils.
If you're into making your own DIY cleaners you need a good spray bottle, and they can be hard to find. Here at Clean My Space we have tested an extensive amount of bottles and landed on an IKEA spray bottle – which I don't think that they make anymore – to be the best we've found. Hopefully ours doesn't break!
When you're out looking for a spray bottle there are a few key things to check for.
How does it fit in your hand? If it's not comfortable, it's going to make cleaning painful.
Does it have a good quality trigger? Give it a few pulls and see how well it works.
Does it thread well? The spray bottle head needs to thread well to prevent leaks and spills.
Does it feel thick and durable? If it's flimsy and thin chances are it won't last.
Vacuum cleaners have come along way over the years, these days it's not hard to find a good quality inexpensive cordless vacuum cleaner. Vacuuming is many people's least favorite cleaning activity because it is cumbersome; The large appliance has to be dragged around and plugged in, and often doesn't fit in tight spaces. Investing in a smaller cordless vacuum means that you don't need to schlep out the big guy for smaller messes. Also – this is a must-have if you have pets!
what bamboo air puifier do you use?
Hello, I'm already obsessed with all your tips, after I found your videos on You tube! They are all really, really helpful, but I'm writing because I saw you have pets and I am very curious of what do you suggest as a good pet friendly disinfectant for floor cleaning, when your cats are walking all over the place? I'll be grateful for any information, thanks in advance and good luck!
I'm looking for a safe shower cleaner and saw your video where you said you use dish soap and vinegar. Can you tell me the amounts of each please? Thank you so much!!!
Man Melissa, you have a large enough following to bully IKEA into bringing back their awesome spray bottles. I live in Dubai, and cannot find these awesome spray bottles at all!
I desperately need your oven cleaner that worked superbly but I can't find the recipe. PLEASE share it with me again. I was wonderful. Thanks a zillion.
i am not a huge fan of an old fashion mop. would you have any recommendations of a quality steam mop? Thank you!!
Hello to Melissa from a fellow Canadian living in the US. Love your show, impressed by all you do. A few months ago you tested a product from Germany, a wand with a gel paddle to clean the toilet bowl. You had said (and hoped) it would be available in the US in the fall. I was wondering if you had any more info about it. Perhaps an update on your great Youtube channel????? Congratulations on your new addition to the Maker's family. Thanks to anyone on your team for your feedback.
Amazing! I truly enjoy every video. Thank you Melissa for what you do.
Spray bottle point 4. Needs proof reading. Also it would be nice to know some examples of enzyme cleaners please.
This is a good list! For me it's vinegar and baking soda! These 2 things remove 99% of stains.
Love all your ideas. Love everything, I really mean that. And last, but most important, I'm very happy you guys are going to have a baby. Have no idea how happy for you I am. I think you will be a great mom and I'm sure we'll be learning a lot. Congratulations.


Technically, there are two FOXP3 antibody options, including the traditional and the monoclonal with a clone. Both versions are an amino acid protein and a member of the winged-helix/forkhead family of transcriptional regulators. They are highly conserved across all mammals. This antibody is essential for normal immune homeostasis. It is stable and constitutively expressed at high levels in CD35 + CD4 positive T-cells, and a low level in CD4 positive and CD25 negative cells. It is absent in CD4-negative and CD8-positive T-cells. It could be a master regulatory gene and a marker for other T-cells.
Both FOXP3 antibodies are similar, though the FOXP3 monoclonal antibody has a clone of SP97. Both are used for research purposes only, and both have an immunogen of a synthetic peptide corresponding to the FOXP3 and C-terminus protein. Likewise, both antibodies use the rabbit iGG isotype and have an undetermined epitope. The molecular weight is 50 kDa, and both are human tested.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the application used for this protein. To prepare the specimen, it is best to use a paraffin-embedded tissue that is Formalin-fixed. Deparaffinization of the slides is required using a xylene or xylene alternative, along with graded alcohols.
When using a concentrated version of the antibody, it is best to dilute it with a ratio of 1:100, though your results may differ based on protocols and methods used.
Antigen retrieval is possible when you boil the tissue sections in EDTA with a pH of 8.0 for at least 10 minutes, allowing it to cool to room temperature for 20 minutes. It will also require an incubation period of 30 minutes while at room temperature.
The FOXP3 antibody comes in a polyclonal and monoclonal options, both of which are similar in use. Visit Spring Bioscience to learn more and choose the best one for your needs.

The violinist and composer Johann Schop (ca. 1590–1667) was closely associated with the city of Hamburg's musical life in the seventeenth century. As director of Hamburg's civic music ensemble, the Ratsmusik, he was expected to provide an instrumental repertoire that could fulfill a variety of functions in the social life of the town, such as public ceremonies and weddings. His collection Erster Theil Newer Paduanen, Galliarden . . . (Hamburg, 1633/1640) is a good example of this repertoire, typical of civic musical culture in Hamburg and other North German towns at that time. Of all the collections of instrumental ensemble music published in Germany during the first half of the seventeenth century it is one of the most substantial. It comprises a great variety of genres, scorings, and styles (conservative and progressive) and documents an important stage in the development of a seventeenth-century German instrumental ensemble idiom.

GRC Corbel
The first picture shows how the stone arrived at our workshop (in two rubble sacks and a bucket). This was spread out on the bench like an exploded model for us to assess.
After removing the paint, we glued the pieces back together with the help of a photograph showing the stone in its original shape.
The stone then had a kind of 'fill in the blanks' moment as we tried to fill in the missing enrichment's.
Several layers of silicone rubber were then applied. We used a number of pretty colours for the different layers but there is a good reason behind it. Applying a different colour onto each dried layer is a good indication of where you have been and where you are going with the next application.
We managed to persuade the client that, as the stone would not be structural a light weight option would be preferable for ease of fixing, due to its size. An agreement was made and the piece was produced in a beautiful white marble GRC that sparkled in the sunlight.
Sadly, the corbel was always to be decorated, so now sits under a shroud of Magnolia exterior gloss, hiding its finish in the brilliant GRC to the world.

UK Ambassador Sir Nicholas Kay appointed as new NATO Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan
05 Dec. 2018 -
Last updated: 05 Dec. 2018 15:40
Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Wednesday (5 December 2018) that he has appointed Sir Nicholas Kay of the United Kingdom as the next NATO Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan. Mr. Stoltenberg made the announcement following a meeting of Foreign Ministers on the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission.
The Secretary General said: "I am pleased to announce that I have appointed Sir Nicholas Kay as NATO's next Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan. He will take up his appointment in March 2019. Sir Nicholas knows Afghanistan well, having served for more than a year as the United Kingdom's ambassador in Kabul. I congratulate him on his appointment, and wish him every success as NATO continues to support Afghanistan on its path toward greater security and lasting peace. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Senior Civilian Representative, Ambassador Cornelius Zimmermann, for his excellent service. His active engagement with the Afghan government and civil society was a crucial part of NATO's efforts in Afghanistan, and I greatly value his counsel."
UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Sir Nicholas Kay will bring a wealth of experience on the political developments in Afghanistan in his new role as NATO's Senior Civilian Representative and I would like to thank him for his tireless work as the British Ambassador to Afghanistan. Despite the violence, we have seen tentative steps towards a peace process beginning to emerge and the UK, along with our international partners, stands firmly with the Afghan government to support their efforts to build peace."
Sir Nicholas Kay is currently serving as UK Ambassador to Afghanistan. He brings an extensive experience on Afghanistan and the South Asia region, having also worked as UK Regional Coordinator for Southern Afghanistan in Helmand in 2006–2007 and as Head of the Pakistan and Afghanistan Section in the South Asian Department of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office in 1995–1997.
Sir Nicholas Kay will replace Ambassador Cornelius Zimmermann of Germany, who has been in the post since March 2017.
The Senior Civilian Representative carries forward the Alliance's political-military objectives in Afghanistan, representing the political leadership of the Alliance in Kabul officially and publicly. The role involves liaising with the Afghan Government, civil society, representatives of the international community, and neighbouring countries. Working closely with the Resolute Support Mission, the Senior Civilian Representative provides a direct channel of communication with NATO Headquarters in Brussels.

Abuja Rail Can't Run Faster Than 90km/h Because We Don't Want To Kill Cows- Rotimi Amaechi
Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that the Abuja-Kaduna rail line cannot run faster than 90 kilometres per hour because the ministry does not want the trains killing cows that pass through the rails while seeking pastures to graze on.
Amaechi said this when he spoke at the 24th Nigerian Economic Summit organized by the Ministry of Budget & National Plannng at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on Monday 22, October 2018.
The minister at the forum, highlighted the local problems being faced by the Nigerian railway system. He said Nigeria has more than enough to transport via rail, before stating restrictions caused by cows.
"The reason why we wat to go back to narrow gauge is that between Lagos and Kano, we have 30 million tonnes of cargo.
Even if you do three rail lines, it cannot be enough. It took us 14 days to move coaches from Lagos to Abuja; everyday we go and ask, how far, they say we are near Ogun state… 14 days. But if it were rail, the same day, it will get to Abuja.
The kind of construction we are doing is 120 kilometres per hour (Km/h), it is a speed train.
"We are doing 90km/h with Abuja to Kaduna. The reason we are doing 90km/h is because there are cows everywhere, and we don't want to kill cows.
The other day they tried 100 and they killed how many cows, and they said 'you people should replace the cows you killed.
From that day, I have said let us maintain the 90km/h; at 120km/h you get to Kaduna in one hour. You can work in Kaduna and live in Abuja. It was initially one, but now, we have done four locomotives with 14 coaches" he said

Building on an existing relationship with Cargill and its office construction experience, Opus's Client Direct Services group built a 200,000-square-foot office headquarters for Cargill's North America protein business in Wichita, Kan. Cargill Protein is an industry leader that produces, distributes and markets beef, turkey, chicken and egg products to retail, foodservice and food ingredient companies throughout North America, and exports meat and by-products around the world.
This four-story, state-of-the-art office building in downtown Wichita embodies the protein group's vision for future growth with a design that encourages collaboration for up to 950 employees. The building features an immersive technology center, presentation kitchen, sensory center kitchen and testing booths, a third-floor balcony and an employee café. The building includes an 800-car parking garage for employee use during the day and the public for events in Old Town and the nearby area in the evening.
Amid a larger downtown revitalization, Cargill's new headquarters replaces an older building. The headquarters is designed to fit in with the city's style and personality.
Opus' previous experience with Cargill includes the development, design and construction of Excelsior Crossings, the company's 920,000-square-foot, three-building, Class A corporate campus in Minnesota.
Key Construction, a local general contractor, worked in collaboration with Opus on this project.


1. Tea Tree and Rosemary Shampoo Recipe Take one cup distilled water, one cup liquid castile soap, one teaspoon of grape seed, jojoba or other light vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of rosemary, 1 tablespoon of lemongrass, 2 tablespoons of tea tree oil and 1 tablespoon of vanilla essential oil. Boil distilled water, add lemongrass and rosemary and steep until aromatic. Strain leaves and let it cool. Add the tea tree oil and vanilla into the water. Use as you would any shampoo, rinse well.
2. Coconut Shampoo Recipe Take one cup of distilled water, one cup liquid castile soap, one tablespoon of jojoba oil, 10 drops vanilla essential oil and 10 drops of coconut fragrance oil. Mix together all the ingredients and use as you would any shampoo, rinse well.
3. Olive Oil Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A & E. It also helps protect the keratin in your hair and is also used in the treatment of split ends and other things like dandruff. When dealing with dandruff mix olive oil with lemon juice. Mix equal amounts of olive oil, water, and lemon juice to treat dandruff, just a few tablespoons of each will work. Massage this solution and leave for 20 minutes, rinse and shampoo.
4. Avocado OilAvocado oil has wonderful health benefits for your hair. It makes hair shiny and stronger. Avocado oil is also rich in Vitamin B and E, which deepens the epidermis and strengthens the hair. Vitamin E works on repairing hair damage, while Vitamin B also supports hair growth.
5. Egg yolks Eggs contain a large number of vitamins, protein and fatty acids, which can help improve hair with the added nutrients. Vitamin A in egg yolk helps improve the hair's ability to produce natural moisture and also helps control dandruff and prevent drying of the scalp.
You can simply take 2-3 egg yolks, whisk them properly and apply onto your scalp. This works as a DIY shampoo that only makes your hair shinier but makes them healthier also.
6. Baking soda shampoo In 1 or 2 cups of water, mix a tablespoon of baking soda. Massage it on the scalp as well as on your wet hair. This DIY shampoo recipe is really good to remove the product build-ups and clean the scalp as well.

FP1 - Ferraris lead the Mercedes chase at Monza
Italy Mercedes Nico Rosberg
Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton dominated Friday morning's opening practice session in Italy, pursued by the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel, using upgraded engines for the Scuderia's home race. Two-tenths of a second separated Rosberg and Hamilton, while the scarlet cars were just over a second off the pace.
PRACTICE ONE RESULTS
1 6 Nico Rosberg ROS Mercedes 1:22.959 37
2 44 Lewis Hamilton HAM Mercedes 1:23.162 +0.203s 36
5 11 Sergio Perez PER Force India 1:24.650 +1.691s 32
6 8 Romain Grosjean GRO Haas 1:24.763 +1.804s 17
8 33 Max Verstappen VER Red Bull Racing 1:24.982 +2.023s 25
9 21 Esteban Gutierrez GUT Haas 1:25.113 +2.154s 19
10 3 Daniel Ricciardo RIC Red Bull Racing 1:25.120 +2.161s 17
Next up was the Force India of Sergio Perez and the Ferrari-powered Haas of Romain Grosjean. Valtteri Bottas was seventh for Williams, while in the second Haas car Esteban Gutierrez took ninth to split the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.
Of the frontrunners it was Hamilton who set the ball rolling with 1m 25.124s early on before Rosberg did 1m 24.945s, to which Hamilton replied with 1m 24.123s; all of these times were set on the soft Pirelli tyres.
Subsequently Rosberg went faster - 1m 23.736s on the supersoft rubber, then 1m 23.651s - before Hamilton went ahead by eight-thousandths with 1m 23.643s.
At this early stage however, it was the softs which proved quicker. Rosberg later used them to set the session's fastest time of 1m 22.959s, as Hamilton rode shotgun with 1m 23.162s.
After their supersoft runs Raikkonen, who had been told that he had restricted mileage, used softs to set the third best time of 1m 24.047s as Vettel improved by just a tenth on them, to 1m 24.307s.
It wasn't a great morning for Red Bull, who might have expected to be next. Instead, Perez pushed his Force India into fifth with 1m 24.650s as Grosjean, using the new Ferrari motor in his Haas, did 1m 24.763s to pip Bottas on 1m 24.785s. That left Verstappen, down in ninth on 1m 24.982s, as Red Bull's leading runner.
Ricciardo, on 1m 25.120s, was separated from his team mate by Gutierrez, who made it two Haases in the top 10 with 1m 25.113s.
Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso were 11th and 13th respectively for McLaren, split by test driver Alfonso Celis who did a good job in Nico Hulkenberg's Force India.
Further back, Esteban Ocon impressed with 18th fastest time for Manor, a second ahead of team mate Pascal Wehrlein, whose DRS later malfunctioned. Alonso also met trouble late in the session, when he toured with his McLaren in stuck in gear.

HOW TO OBTAIN NAFDAC CERTIFICATE|BOWAGATE GLOBAL LIMITED
By Bowa Gate
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is a Nigerian federal agency under the Federal Ministry of Health that is responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, sale and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, chemicals and packaged water.
NAFDAC Permits cover two categories:
If a manufactured or imported goods fall within any of these two categories registration with the NAFDAC is important. Where the product is a foreign product, a power of attorney duly executed for a Nigerian representative of such product registered from the manufacturer and signed by the Company's Managing Director, Chairman or President, giving authorization to the Nigerian agent to act in such capacity is required.
The registration process for NAFDAC Permit is in two general stages:
Application for approval to bring in samples – applicable to goods manufactured outside Nigeria
Application for full registration of product – applies whether the goods are locally manufactured or imported into the country
Application for Approval to Bring in Samples:
For the purpose of registration, a foreign company needs to provide samples of its product for testing/inspection. However, this is impossible without proper approval to bring such samples into the shores of the country. In this category, NAFDAC grants special written authorization or import permit to enable importers to bring the samples of their products. Also documents required for clearing and taking delivery of samples must be obtained from the Manufacturer and other appropriate bodies in the country of origin.
Application for Full Registration of Samples:
In this category, the producer is required to present an application form for each product as NAFDAC approval is granted for each specific product. This form is to be submitted to the registration division of NAFDAC agency.
The key requirements for the registration process are as follows:
The general requirements for the registration on either of the above-mentioned stages of the permit include the following:
A written application for product registration shall be made to the Director (Registration and Regulatory Affairs) stating the name of the manufacturer, the generic name (and brand name, if applicable) of product, product strength and indications.
The applicant should obtain and fill the prescribed NAFDAC application form (Form D-REG/001)
Certificate of Incorporation issued by the Corporate Affairs Commission
Comprehensive Certificate of analysis of the batch of the product for registration from the manufacturer stating name and signature of the analyst.
Packs of the products samples
Evidence of pre-product inspection or Certificate of Recognition issued by NAFDAC
Notarized original copy of the duly executed Power of Attorney from the product manufacturer (imported product)
Certificate of Manufacture issued by the competent health or regulatory authority in the country of origin and authenticated by the Nigerian Mission in that country (if foreign import). Where there is no Nigerian mission, the British High Commission or an ECOWAS country Mission will authenticate.
If contract-manufactured, Contract Manufacturing Agreement properly executed and notarized by a Notary Public in the country of manufacture.
Evidence of Membership of the State's Traditional Medicines Board (Herbal Medicines)
Technical Document (Herbal Medicines)
Certificate of Pharmaceutical Products (COPP) duly issued and authenticated
Current Superintendent Pharmacists license to practice issued by the Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria
Premises Registration License from Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN)
Warehouse acquisition or premises acquisition(where applicable)
Certificate of Trademark Registration of brand name with trademark registry in the Ministry of Commerce here in Nigeria
Letter of invitation from manufacturer to the Director General of the NAFDAC to inspect factory abroad, stating full name and location of the plant.
Informative, clear and accurate labeling of the products
Payment of the prescribed fees.
However, it is worthy of note that the registration of a product does not automatically confer Advertising permit. A separate approval by the Agency shall be required if the product is to be advertised.
Upon completion of the registration process, NAFDAC would assign a unique number to all the registered products. The registration is usually valid for a period of 5 years and it must be renewed before the licensee can maintain the usage. Although how to renew NAFDAC permit also involves some documentation and payment of prescribed fee, but this is not as significant as filing a new application
In conclusion,
NAFDAC process can be concluded within 1-3 months depending on how swift the company seeking registration is able to compile the required necessary items for submission.
The failure to obtain a NAFDAC approval or registration before distributing any drugs or processed food or food materials may lead to a complete seizure of such products by the government.

Book: Electrical Engineering (Johnson)
3: Analog Signal Processing
Op-Amp
Dependent sources.
Dependent source
A dependent source is either a voltage or current source whose value is proportional to some other voltage or current in the circuit.
Thus, there are four different kinds of dependent sources; to describe an op-amp, we need a voltage-dependent voltage source. However, the standard circuit-theoretical model for a transistor contains a current-dependent current source. Dependent sources do not serve as inputs to a circuit like independent sources. They are used to model active circuits: those containing electronic elements. The RLC circuits we have been considering so far are known as passive circuits.
Fig. 3.18.1 Of the four possible dependent sources, depicted is a voltage-dependent voltage source in the context of a generic circuit.
The Fig. 3.18.2 below, shows the circuit symbol for the op-amp and its equivalent circuit in terms of a voltage-dependent voltage source.
Fig. 3.18.2 The op-amp has four terminals to which connections can be made. Inputs attach to nodes a and b, and the output is node c. As the circuit model on the right shows, the op-amp serves as an amplifier for the difference of the input node voltages.
Here, the output voltage equals an amplified version of the difference of node voltages appearing across its inputs. The dependent source model portrays how the op-amp works quite well. As in most active circuit schematics, the power supply is not shown, but must be present for the circuit model to be accurate. Most operational amplifiers require both positive and negative supply voltages for proper operation.
Because dependent sources cannot be described as impedances, and because the dependent variable cannot "disappear" when you apply parallel/series combining rules, circuit simplifications such as current and voltage divider should not be applied in most cases. Analysis of circuits containing dependent sources essentially requires use of formal methods, like the node method. Using the node method for such circuits is not difficult, with node voltages defined across the source treated as if they were known (as with independent sources). Consider the circuit shown on the top in Fig. 3.18.3.
Fig. 3.18.3 The top circuit depicts an op-amp in a feedback amplifier configuration. On the bottom is the equivalent circuit, and integrates the op-amp circuit model into the circuit.
Note that the op-amp is placed in the circuit "upside-down," with its inverting input at the top and serving as the only input. As we explore op-amps in more detail in the next section, this configuration will appear again and again and its usefulness demonstrated. To determine how the output voltage is related to the input voltage, we apply the node method. Only two node voltages - v and vout need be defined; the remaining nodes are across sources or serve as the reference. The node equations are:
\[\frac{v-v_{in}}{R}+\frac{v}{R_{in}}+\frac{v-v_{out}}{R_{F}}=0\]
\[\frac{v_{out}-(-G)v}{R_{out}}+\frac{v_{out}-v}{R_{F}}+\frac{v_{out}}{R_{L}}=0\]
Note that no special considerations were used in applying the node method to this dependent-source circuit. Solving these to learn how vout relates to vin yields:
\[\left ( \frac{R_{F}R_{out}}{R_{out}-GR_{F}}\left ( \frac{1}{R_{out}}+\frac{1}{R_{in}}+\frac{1}{R_{L}}\right )\left ( \frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{R_{in}}+\frac{1}{R_{F}} \right ) -\frac{1}{R_{F}} \right )v_{out}=\frac{1}{R}v_{in}\]
This expression represents the general input-output relation for this circuit, known as the standard feedback configuration. Once we learn more about op-amps, in particular what its typical element values are, the expression will simplify greatly. Do note that the units check, and that the parameter G of the dependent source is a dimensionless gain.

China Calls for 2011 End to Doha Talks
Despite global pessimism about the stagnation of the Doha Round of talks of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has appealed for their conclusion in 2011.
The ministry has also called for global politicians to show stronger political willpower to promote progress in the talks, which have been ongoing for nine years.
"Although we believe there are a number of difficulties in the forthcoming negotiations, none of us should swing back and forth, or even draw back," said Yi Xiaozhun, vice-minister of commerce, on Wednesday.
"Leaders of the member nations (of the WTO) should demonstrate a greater willingness to accelerate the process of the talks, by setting a target for them to be concluded by the end of 2011," said Yi.
While the Doha Round has been at a deadlock for two years, nations worldwide have signed a raft of regional and bilateral free-trade agreements (FTAs) designed to rescue their economies in the wake of the financial crisis.
But Yi said China gives priority to multilateral trade agreements and to the advancement of the Doha talks, even though the nation has also been actively participating in regional FTAs.
"The significance of regional FTAs can never be compared with that of the multilateral agreements that can be universally applied. China's principle in trade liberalization is prioritizing the multilateral agreements which the regional agreements complement," Yi said.
The Doha talks - launched in late 2001 with the aim of opening up world trade and investment and helping developing countries to prosper - have now been stalled for two years.
That's because some nations, including the United States and India, cannot reach a consensus on a number of specific issues, including agricultural policy.
However, the WTO said 80 percent of the Doha agenda has been completed.
During both the G20 meeting in Seoul, and November's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Tokyo, national leaders agreed to conclude the Doha talks, and see 2011 as a window of opportunity.
The US and the European Union (EU) also promised to use their considerable economic muscle to secure a successful, ambitious and balanced conclusion to the talks within that timeframe.
But few participants have high hopes when it comes to achieving this target. "The likelihood that the talks can be concluded in such a short time is small, as the motives of the major economies, including the US and the EU, are not powerful enough. Economic recovery is their priority during the coming year," said Zhang Yunling, director of the Division of International Studies under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Aware of the difficulties in getting more than 150 nations to agree on deals covering a wide range of topics, many are resorting to deals between two countries, or small groups of nations.
During November's APEC summit the possibility of a Trans-Pacific Partnership was hotly debated. The partnership was originally proposed by four nations, including Singapore, but was expected to expand to include others such as the US and Australia.
"China will actively advance the FTA strategy to promote the integration of the Asian economies," said Yi.
China has signed 10 FTAs including those with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Pakistan and Peru, and the nation is also in negotiations over four more deals. The Ministry of Commerce estimates that 24 percent of China's foreign trade in 2009 was realized through these FTAs.

This program was created because I needed a tool to monitor computer temperature with possibility to save it to a file.
Configuration is done by modifying the file "Temperature.cfg", which is created automatically in your Home directory when first start.
I am starting to get a lot of errors for my drives and the today it also showed error for my motherboard and CPU.
On openSUSE 12.3 x64 my hddtemp in Konsole shows all drives ok and the sensors command shows also CPU and MB so add an configuration batten or option.
Deleting the Temperature.json and Temperature.log do not solve the problem.
Error in the view plasma-applet appears when hardware id from programs lm_sensors an hddtemp is different from this in Temperature.json.
If delete Temperature.json does not help, please send me via email Temperature.json file and the result of programs lm_sensor and hddtemp.
Temperature.log file does not matter.
The only thing I am missing is the GPU temp the free radeon driver in it.
I do not have a ATI card to test this problem, but I found the information that run "modprobe it87" can help.
modprobe it87 is not possible or something but no problem I see my radeon from the standard temp widget and the Radeon pm widget and it is good to see all my drives.

Q: Moving gradient colors for icons? I can produce moving gradient colors for text like so:
a {
  &:hover {
    background: linear-gradient(-45deg, green, yellow, red, blue);
    background-size: 200% 200%;
    animation: gradient 2s ease infinite;
    color: transparent;
    -webkit-background-clip: text;
  }
}
@keyframes gradient {
  0% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
  50% {
    background-position: 100% 50%;
  }
  100% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
}

Now I have a moving gradient color effect (whose movement unfortunately can't be seen in a screenshot):

Font-Awesome icon color can be changed with the color property, which affects text but -webkit-background-clip: text seems to have no effect on icons.
Example of an icon:
<fa class="icon" :icon="[ 'fa', 'envelope' ]" size="1x"></fa>

Is there any way to do this?

A:

.icn{
  font-size: 100px;
}

.color-icon:hover  {
    background: linear-gradient(-45deg, green, yellow, red, blue);
    background-size: 200% 200%;
    animation: gradient 2s ease infinite;
    color: transparent;
    -webkit-background-clip: text;
}

@keyframes gradient {
  0% {
    background-position: 0% 50%;
  }
  50% {
    background-position: 100% 50%;
  }
  100% {

Richard Scheller, Genentech's Executive Vice President of Research and Early Development, believes it is unlikely, if not impossible, for small companies to push drug products through the final stage of development. However, Scheller also thinks a smart biotechnology startup could do early stage development and then turn to larger firms for product licensing or acquisition. Scheller also discusses the state of research and development at Genentech, in comparison to other firms.
