Match report as Man City beat Leicester City 1-0 at the Ruler Power; the guests guarantee every one of the three focuses thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's last part free-kick; City go top of the Premier League in front of Stockpile's conflict with Nottingham Forest on Sunday;
Leicester stay seventeenth in the table
Kevin De Bruyne's magnificent last-part free-kick was sufficient to hand a Man City side missing Erling Haaland a 1-0 win at Leicester City as the Premier League champions went top of the table.
In a firmly battled challenge at the Ruler Power on Saturday noon, Enthusiasm Guardiola's side guaranteed every one of the three focuses thanks to De Bruyne's turning 49th-minute free-kick that cruised over-top the Leicester wall from 25 yards out, prior to finding the rear of the net off within the post with Danny Ward vulnerable.

Subsequently, City downplayed the shortfall of the Premier League's top scorer, who had begun each game this season following his mid-year move, scoring 22 objectives, however, had not recuperated from a lower leg thump so as to include, move a point clear of Stockpile at the highest point of the table before their home conflict with Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Leicester, in the interim, remains one spot over the drop zone in front of Saturday's other's first-class apparatuses in the wake of seeing their three-game dominating run at the Ruler Power, during which time they had not surrendered, reach a conclusion.

How City went top of the table
Leicester took on City having gotten back to the type of late in the wake of dominating their last three matches at home without surrendering, however with a difference in shape as Brendan Rodgers changed to a 3-4-3.
Be that as it may, three at the back truly transformed into five in the main half as City ruled both belonging and domain, pushing their hosts back right all along, but without genuinely testing Ward.
That was all different, however, after a half-opportunity as City turned out in alternate stuff, practically starting to lead the pack directly from the restart as Rodri terminated a low drive creeps past the post before the guests made the leap forward.

Qantas brings Boeing 787 Dreamliner back to Sydney
By David Flynn, May 22 2012
Boeing's 787 Dreamliner will make a return to Sydney's skies this week – and this time it'll take some lucky passengers for a ride.
Qantas is hosting the next-gen jetliner's second visit to Sydney on Thursday May 24 as part of the final leg of Boeing's global DreamTour series of promotional flights, following the Dreamliner's down-under debut in November last year.
But unlike that first 787, which was packing racks of sophisticated test equipment, this week's visit will feature a Dreamliner dressed to impress.
The DreamTour airplane – bearing registration number N787BX, serial number ZA003 and flying under callsign BOE 787, if you're into that sort of thing – is designed to showcase key 'passenger experience' features of the 787.
This includes the large welcoming entrance, super-sized windows with electronic dimming, bigger overhead and dynamic LED lighting.
We're going on a test flight...
The airplane is also configured with 135 seats, 35 of which (that's as many as aviation authorities will allow on this test aircraft) will carry an exclusive invitation-only group of media on a special flight from Sydney to Brisbane and back on Saturday May 26.
The Qantas-Boeing 'Dream Flight' departs Sydney Airport at 10.30am and arrives into Brisbane Airport around 12.30pm. The Dreamliner's return flight will leave Brisbane at 5pm and touchdown in Sydney at 6.30pm.
Australian Business Traveller will be on that flight, so keep an eye on the @AusBT Twitter channel for on-the-spot photos and live updates.
The Dreamliner will also make a flight from Sydney to Melbourne and back on Sunday May 27, before spending its last day in Sydney on Monday May 28.
Want to visit the 787 while it's in Sydney? 10 members of the AusBT community will be guests of Boeing on a guided tour of the Dreamliner on Monday May 28 – click here for the details!
On Tuesday morning the 787 will fly out of Sydney for New Zealand, before returning to Australia for one day in Darwin on Thursday May 31.
Qantas has big plans for Boeing's mid-sized plane
Qantas has placed one of the world's largest orders for the Boeing 787, which is constructed from 50 per cent composite materials and according to Boeing uses 20 per cent less fuel and has a noise footprint 60 per cent lower than similarly-sized aircraft.
Jetstar will get 15 Dreamliners, specifically the smaller 787-8 model, beginning mid-2013.
This will fly routes including Melbourne-Singapore, Auckland-Singapore and Singapore-Beijing, along with services from Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast to destinations in Asia as well as Honolulu.
Starting in 2015-2016 Qantas will take delivery of 35 of the longer Boeing 787-9 series, with this second serve of Dreamliners to be split between Jetstar and Qantas.
The Qantas' 787s will be fitted with 275 seats across business class, premium economy and economy, compared to an estimated 300 seats in a two-class business/economy layout on the first Jetstar 787-8s.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce has already earmarked the Sydney-Dallas/Fort Worth route, which currently relies on Qantas' long-range Boeing 747-400ER aircraft, as one of the first routes for his 787-9s.
"We've already seen how good Dallas is with the 747" Qantas CEO Alan Joyce told Australian Business Traveller last year. "Imagine how good it will be with the 787 on that network."
In addition to replacing Qantas' aging Boeing 747s, Joyce said the 787 "gives us the extra range to open up new direct routes that we can't service today", on top of "more frequencies and more destinations in Asia."
Further down the track, Qantas will inherit some of Jetstar's 787-8s for domestic service, ranging from the 'golden triangle' of Brisbane-Sydney-Melbourne to the cross-country trek between the east coast and Perth.
"We have the flexibility to play the 787 into either (the international or domestic) space" explains Lyell Strambi, Qantas Group Executive for Operations.
"In the short term domestic is secondary (for the 787), but in the long term it's a primary role" Strambi told Australian Business Traveller.

I love this line - "In addition to replacing Qantas' aging Boeing 747s, Joyce said the 787 "gives us the extra range to open up new direct routes that we can't service today", on top of "more frequencies and more destinations in Asia.""
If Joyce wanted to do that why don't they just order/lease some 777s and get moving ASAP.
Saturday, 19 May 2012, 10:44:05 am
Geez... I bet that thought never occured to Alan Joyce or anybody else in Qantas. They must be smacking their foreheads, going "Holy crap of course, what a brillaint idea!".
Tronixstuff, if it was that easy, is the solution was that obvious, don't you reckon they'd have done that already?
What is it with "armchair airline CEOs" who think they know all the answers?
I do realise introducing new aircraft types isn't as simple as renting a car, and for short-medium term use would go against what seems to be QF's policy of owning a plane and driving it into the ground (e.g. 763, 744). However the advantages of long and thin route 777 operation have been prevalent for many years, and I stick to this opinion. But like the rest of us I look forward to seeing the 787 and am sure it will be a success for the QF group.
Saturday, 19 May 2012, 12:34:05 pm
So QF takes a few 777's on lease to 'get moving'. They'd be very lucky to get an economical lease rate on anything shorter than 8-9 years, so what do they do with the massive surplus of planes they would have for 5-6 years once the 787's DO start arriving?
Short-medium term leases are extremely expensive, and QF International operates on pretty slim margins as it is. This industry is not about short term solutions, it is about the bigger picture. The 787 is that bigger picture for QF, and it has been extremely difficult for them (or any other airline for that matter) to find a solution to tide them over... Which is why so few 787 customers have brought in anything new during the delay.

If an employer procures background checks or credit checks on job applicants or current employees, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) imposes very specific obligations on the employer. One of those obligations is the requirement to obtain a candidate/employee's authorization in writing before procuring the report. In addition, employers must give a candidate/employee a pre-adverse action notice before taking any action that adversely affects the candidate/employee (such as denial of employment, demotion, denial of promotion), if the employer's action is based in any way on the background check or other consumer report. One component of the pre-adverse action notice requirement is the employer's obligation to provide a "Summary of Consumer Rights" in the form prescribed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
The May 24, 2018 Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act amended the FCRA by adding content to the Summary of Consumer Rights. The new form must be accompanied by information about the applicant's/employee's right to a security freeze on credit reports held by the Nationwide Consumer Reporting Agencies. There is a model Summary of Consumer Rights form prepared by the CFPB here.
Because this amendment becomes effective September 21, 2018, all employers who perform background checks on candidates and employees should update their Summary of Consumer Rights forms right away. We also highly recommend a review of your background check process to ensure it complies with the FCRA. We can assist you in preparing the appropriate forms and procedures.
For more information, please contact Steve Forry, Michael Blickman, and Isaac Colunga at Ice Miller LLP.

Net Impact chose to launch the sustainable food think tank at UC Davis because of its rich agricultural history and its investment in global hunger solutions, said Paula Luu, Net Impact's senior marketing manager. UC Davis officially launched its Innovation Institute for Food and Health, part of the yet-to-be-built World Food Center, in January.
Providing feedback for the students' presentations were leaders from the UCD institute and experts from biotech company Monsanto, which made headlines recently for its controversial work on genetically engineered seeds. Other representatives were from Freedom from Hunger, a nongovernmental organization fighting malnourishment in 19 countries, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
Among the themes discussed Friday were reducing food waste, changing diets, integrating nutrient-rich food into cultures and increasing access for the poor. Attendees were given two minutes to present ideas before receiving feedback from peers and the panel of experts.
Marlin Edwards, global vegetable technology lead for Monsanto, said UC Davis students are perfectly situated to make sustainable change in the way food is grown, processed and distributed worldwide, given the quantity of food produced in the region.
Although students at Friday's event did not present solutions using genetically modified seeds, many scientists believe world hunger can partly be solved by that technology, Edwards said.
Jessica Chiartas, a soils and biogeochemistry doctoral candidate, said there are many other techniques the world's farmers can build on, such as crop diversification, regeneration and waste conservation, before moving to genetically engineered crops.

Sunaina Patnaik Sep 7, 2022 ∙ 3 minutes read
Attention is a commodity, and it's up for sale. As I sit to write this piece, I am listening to a podcast, scrolling through LinkedIn, and eyeing Twitter trends, but I only got started. The creator economy — also notoriously regarded as the attention economy may be the culprit. But with 5.3B active users on the internet, there's an information overload. We're hit with content from every possible side; how can anything hold our attention even for a minute? Well, that's a question looming large over everyone's head.
A study by Dentsu states that only one-third of advertisements get the audience's full attention. The study says most people skip ads and often look away when they don't. Attention isn't just a commodity, it's also currency. And users aren't merely getting addicted to content like it's junk food — instead of consuming it, we're all jumping from one dish to another. It's a recipe for disaster.
Defining Attention Economy
I'd define it as a state where creators and brands are vying for a user's attention while measuring the conversion of that attention. Is that attention amounting to purchase or engagement? — that's what matters. The term 'Attention Economy' is coined by Herbert Simon, a Noble Prize-winning economist, who defines it as "What information consumes is the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."
Kate Lindsay and Nick Catucci — the writers behind Embedded, a newsletter that writes about the internet culture, trends, and behaviour, have recently published an article: The Chronically Online Epidemic. Embedded describes our online behaviour and how we're always online: "As social media platforms collapse into one another and become overpopulated, users have to go to greater lengths to get noticed. As long as algorithms and engagement incentivise this behavior, it's not going to stop."
The Flip Side for Creators
It's no cakewalk to constantly churn out content, especially content that has to grab eyeballs. The internet has the memory power of a goldfish, so this strong urge to create content where users decide the content can keep them hooked in the first ten seconds is brutal. That explains why medical professionals, lawyers, and financial advisors are breaking into a dance on the internet.
But in the attention economy, it's about the survival of the fittest. The only creators winning are those who live on the edge. Well, almost — minus the risks.
Read: The Rise in Medical Professionals Creating Content
Do Creator Economy and Attention Economy Go Together?
According to SignalFire, there are about 50M creators globally, and a report by Statista says that in 2021, globally, users spent 550 billion hours on mobile live-streaming apps. Staying on top of the algorithm or creating viral content has become crucial. No wonder courses like 'How to Create Viral Content' or 'How to Quickly Get Famous on TikTok' are mushrooming across the internet. You want every piece of content to be a banger; that's the only survival game plan.
But If You are a User..
…you'll end up with a social media and mental burnout. 😩
What's worse? The attention economy doesn't allow you to connect deeply with anything around you. Think you could watch a 20-minute video without interruption? Lofty dreams! You thought you could give your passion undivided attention? You can try, but it will be a task.
That's when NOMO (Necessity of Missing Out) comes in. This is best described in Jenny Odell's How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy — a book which tackles that and paying attention to the world around us.
The author Jenny urges the reader to channel their FOMO into NOMO, which means withdraw — it's okay to slow down and not engage with everything you see on the internet. "I will participate as I wish," are the exact words Jenny uses. I know, it doesn't sound like something you quickly learn but takes time to master.
Read this for more.
But in the attention economy, whether you're a creator or not, taking control back is what matters. If attention is genuinely the currency, we ought to be careful about our spending habits, shouldn't we?

Geoffrey Marcy, Astronomer at Berkeley, Apologizes for Behavior

By Dennis Overbye
Geoffrey Marcy, an acclaimed astronomer and leader in the hunt for planets around other stars, has been found guilty of violating the sexual harassment policies of the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds the Watson and Marilyn Alberts Chair in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
In June, the university concluded that Dr. Marcy had engaged in inappropriate behavior with students, including groping them, kissing them and touching or massaging them. He was told that subsequent violations would leave him subject to sanctions, as the vice provost, Janet Broughton, said in a letter, "that could include suspension or dismissal."
Because of the confidential nature of such investigations, Dr. Marcy's colleagues at Berkeley, which has been shaken by discrimination lawsuits under Title IX recently, and elsewhere did not know of the investigation until this past week when Buzzfeed broke the story and Dr. Marcy posted a letter of apology on his University of California website page.
"While I do not agree with each complaint that was made," he wrote, "it is clear that my behavior was unwelcomed by some women. I take full responsibility and hold myself completely accountable for my actions and the impact they had. For that and to the women affected, I sincerely apologize."
In an email exchange with a reporter on Saturday, Dr. Marcy wrote, "I have worked hard to change and will continue to focus my efforts on promoting a supportive and respectful environment both in the Astronomy community and more broadly."
He took exception to one of the complaints, that he had run his hand up a woman's dress. That complaint, he said, "is totally false."
Dr. Marcy's wife, Susan Kegley, a pesticide researcher, said she supported him, pointing out that he had cooperated fully with the investigation and apologized.
She defended her husband, writing in an email, "Others may interpret Geoff's empathy and interest as a come-on. I can't change their perspectives, but I think it is worth all of us examining how quickly one is judged and condemned without knowing all of the facts."
"The punishment Geoff is receiving here in the court of hysterical public opinion is far out of proportion to what he did and has taken responsibility for in his apology," Dr. Kegley wrote.
In a statement issued Friday, the university said, "We consider this to be a very serious matter and the university has taken strong action."
Dr. Marcy has been told he is not welcome at a big exoplanet meeting in Hawaii in December, timed to coincide with the first discovery of planets around other stars 20 years ago, work that made Dr. Marcy famous. He has stepped down from the convention's organizing committee.
Dr. Marcy has retained his job, which disappoints Sarah Ballard, who was one of the four women who brought the complaints. "He violated the Civil Rights Act," said Dr. Ballard, who is now an astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "His job as a professor is to mentor and provide guidance to young people; in that role he's caused devastating harm."
Joan Schmelz, who was a longtime leader of the American Astronomical Society's committee on the status of women astronomers, said, "I've seen sexual harassers get slaps on the wrist before. This isn't even a slap on the wrist."
Dr. Marcy's troubles come at a time when sexism and sexual harassment are gaining prominence in science. Last December, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cut ties with Walter Lewin, a popular lecturer, and deleted his physics course materials from its website after finding that he had sexually harassed at least one student.
The news has stirred the astronomical community, especially in California, which just endured a bruising battle over the fate of the University of California's venerable Lick Observatory.
Dr. Marcy's behavior has been an open secret in the exoplanet community for years, John Johnson, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a former graduate student of Dr. Marcy, said in an interview on Saturday and in a letter that was circulated to the Harvard astronomy department on Friday.
Dr. Johnson said he had refrained from speaking out while he was still a junior astronomer without tenure and vulnerable to being under Dr. Marcy's thumb — "something I'm not proud of."
A tipping point seems to have occurred at a meeting in Washington of the American Astronomical Society in 2010, when several astronomers reportedly observed Dr. Marcy behaving in an overly intimate manner.
In March 2014, four of Dr. Marcy's former students filed a written complaint with Berkeley's Office of Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination.
One of the complaints was from Dr. Ballard, who was an undergraduate in one of Dr. Marcy's classes when he befriended her in 2005 after she organized a rally about sexual violence on campus. Over time, their conversations turned personal. She said Dr. Marcy described his early sexual exploits and offered advice about her boyfriend. In her complaint to university officials, Dr. Ballard also told of one episode in which she was leaving Dr. Marcy's car when he started giving her a neck massage.
She said she was afraid to confront him because she said she knew she would need letters of recommendation for graduate school.
For a long time, Dr. Ballard said, "I grappled with 'should I forgive?' " Those doubts vanished when she learned other women said they had been harassed. She said she hoped speaking publicly would embolden other young women.
"The university has failed to protect other students from suffering what I suffered," Dr. Ballard said. "Harassment is a deep problem, not just in Berkeley, but in the academy and in our culture."

Elliniki Radiophonia Tileorassi
(Redirected from Elleniki Radiophonio Teleorassi)
Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi (Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία Τηλεόραση — Hellenic Television Broadcasting) is Greece's state-owned public television broadcasting corporation.
It began broadcasting on February 23, 1966, being the first Greek language television channel, I proto kanali, ET1. It began broadcasting Greek shows, sports, foreign shows (mainly from the private sector), and so on. The channel is has broadcasted the Olympic games since 1968 from Mexico City. Broadcast was rare, short and was shown for the least of the time until ET2 and ET3 were created. Today it is broadcasted most of the time during the olympics. ERT is the sponsor of the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, ERT's homeland. It also broadcasts IAAF games while it is shown on privately owned channels mainly in America (USA)Today it broadcasts documentaries, some from the private sector, and a few animated shows. Then came privately owned channels which caused a move of Greek non-documentary programming to other networks. Most foreign shows are broadcasted on Alter and Star Channel (privately owned). It broacasted lottery shows every night at 9 in the Balkans.
Its present logos is around 15 dots lined up to make 60 of them with ET1 at the right, slightly equivalent the original ET1 logo used from 1980s-1992 to the new logo The #1 is smaller than ET. The logo became in effect Fall 2003. NET still retains their 1999 logo with a bolded N colored with blue, The ET3 logo has 3 colored in gold into a blue square. And the ERT Sat logo colors with 3 blue squares almost shaped with the TV, and Sat is handwritten. The ET3 logo's golden color stayed the same, began when ET3 was launched.
Today there are 3 channels from Greece, 2 are in Aghia Paraskevi, its main ERT headquarters. Its size is by 600 m and 600 m. There is a large television facility northeast of Athens at Mesogeiou Avenue. ET3 is in Thessaloniki to the north.
ET1 - broadcasted from Aghia Paraskevi in Athens, Greece
NET - broadcasted from Aghia Paraskevi in Athens, Greece
ET3 - broadcasted in Thessaloniki, Greece
ERT Sat - broadcasted from Aghia Paraskevi, mainly for outside Greece.
ERT Sat is only available on Dish Network in North America and the Caribbean.
1 Programs
Programs can be found at the List of programmes broadcasted by ERT
1966 - ERT was launched for broadcasting in the Greek language, it was the only national channel for Greece until the late 20th century.
The first sports and soccer broadcast "World Cup 1966"
1968 - The first Olympic games began to broadcast from Mexico City,
1979 -First colour broadcast using the French system SECAM
1980s ERT starts using a logo. The letters E, R, and T was dotted.
Late 20th century - ERT began launching Elliniki Teleorassi 2 (ET2), another channel launched and ET3 in Salonika.
Late 1980s: ERT's next logo, blue shaded, with a larger E and 1 and 1 is at the bottom and almost connected with E and 1, E and 2, and E and 3. ET3 logo was different. The #3 became golden.
1993: ET2's logo was simply referred to just being (ET)2. The channel 2 was lined with 3 stripes. ERT removed the logo and replaced the ET beside the 2 again, while the equivalent logo once used by ET2 is presently used in some television stations and on Channel 2 Israel (Channel 2-IL) to this day.
Mid-1990s: The logo was colored with a number on top. Orange for ET1, Red for ET2, and pink on ET3.
Mid-1990s: Switch of all ET stations to PAL colour system.
Late 1990s and early 2000s' - ERT began launching a satellite channel, ERT Sat began broadcasting programs from Greece to other satellite systems all over Earth.
2000 ET2 changes its name to NET, "Nea Elleniki Teleorassi/Elliniki Teleorassi" The logo was also changed to blue and is in use to this day. ET1 and ET3 are the only channels that are numbered in order, left. ET1 logo is boxed red with 1 in the middle.

Thomas McCarthy was born in the town of Birr, County Offaly, in the Irish midlands into a well respected Irish Traveller family. His grandfather was known as a "seanachie" which is an Irish term for someone with a profound orally derived knowledge of the history and families of Ireland.
Thomas learnt his crafts of singing and storytelling from his mother, aunts and uncles.
His extended family has a long history of musicianship and includes the well-recognised and respected Doran Brothers and their grandfather "Big John Cash", who all played the Irish uillean (elbow) pipes.
At age ten Thomas moved to London but continued to travel with his family back and forth and around Ireland and England.
He was recognised by his own family as a gifted singer from a young age, but was "discovered" in 2008 by the wider public after a "tip off" from a barman at a family wedding. This led him to Cecil Sharp House in Camden Town, London. Here he joined singers at a folk song club, who were amazed and enchanted by his powerful yet subtle, ancient and authentic Irish Traveller style of singing and by the rare songs that he brought with him.
Thomas has since been employed singing in clubs and at festivals throughout the UK and Ireland as well as in Europe and the US. He has been described as "the most exciting thing to come out of Ireland in the last fifty years" by Joe Power who runs the folk song club in Dungarven, Ireland.
In addition to this he has proved to be an engaging storyteller for children in the UK and the US, working in schools and at festivals and drawing on old stories and a "fireside" style of storytelling learnt from his family. He never fails to enchant, educate and engage the children, who come from all walks of life.
Thomas is also an activist on behalf of his people. This can range from a positive education about his people during performances, talks and storytelling to confronting racism and racist language against Travellers when he comes across it. He has contributed to a number of educative equality and diversity events and conferences, where he has communicated useful information and understanding to professionals wishing to work constructively with the Traveller community.

After being alerted by independent researchers last year, scientists at the California air board's test lab in El Monte confirmed the existence of the rogue software earlier this summer. Volkswagen officials admitted to the EPA and air board in early September that the cars with equipped with the devices.
Critics have said the problem could have been discovered sooner if the pollution agencies routinely road-tested the vehicles instead of relying on lab tests. EPA officials acknowledged their shortcomings, saying they've focused most of their road-test efforts in recent years on diesel trucks, which emit far more pollution.
"We are upping our game," said Chris Grundler, director of the EPA's office of transportation and air quality, in a conference call with reporters.
Dave Clegern, a spokesman for the California air board, said the agency didn't have access until three years ago to the portable emissions testing devices needed to road-test diesel cars for emissions. "It's fairly new technology, at least in any kind of decent working condition," Clegern said.
The stepped-up testing regime will cover a sampling of new and used diesel cars, using rentals as well as cars loaned by private citizens. Officials wouldn't go into detail about the types of tests the models will undergo, saying they don't want to tip off the car manufacturers, but they vowed to be thorough.
"The smart engineers at EPA and the California Air Resources Board and Environment Canada have come up with clever ways to do this," Grundler said.
Because of its air-pollution problems, California has special authority under the federal Clean Air Act to test vehicles and set its own pollution standards. The Air Resources Board is considered a pioneer in enforcing air-pollution rules, particularly when it comes to the automotive industry.
In a move unrelated to the Volkswagen case, the agency on Friday renewed its so-called low-carbon fuel standard, which requires a 10 percent reduction in the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 2020. Carbon intensity measures a variety of things, from how much carbon is emitted during the actual production of the fuel to how much greenhouse gas the fuel gives off while the engine is running. The carbon standard is an essential piece of Assembly Bill 32, the state's landmark climate change law enacted in 2006, and regulators say it will add a few cents a gallon to the price of fuel.
As for the diesel vehicles, officials said they don't know what the stepped-up testing program will reveal.
"We've not seen any evidence that there's a problem with another automaker, but it's better to be safe," Clegern said.
The notice came the same day that Volkswagen named Matthias Mueller, chief executive of its Porsche subsidiary, to run the whole company. He replaces Volkswagen's deposed CEO Martin Winterkorn, who resigned earlier this week.
The EPA has said recalls of the Volkswagen vehicles are likely, and the case has become an international scandal for Volkswagen. There are an estimated 482,000 affected cars on the road in the United States, including at least 50,000 in California. Volkswagen has acknowledged that as many as 11 million diesel cars worldwide have been equipped with the defeat devices, although it said the software wasn't activated on most of them.
Fixing the problem is expected to cost Volkswagen billions of dollars, not counting the likelihood of fines against the company.
The affected cars are Jettas, Beetles, Golfs and Audi A3s made in the 2009 to 2015 model years, as well as Volkswagen Passats made in 2014 and 2015. Only diesel cars are involved.

Contact an EMAC sales representative to get more information on how we can help you.
A leading technology company specializing in management software solutions for supermarket chains around the world came to EMAC looking for an off-the-shelf inexpensive Linux based wireless Serial Gateway Server with no moving parts. EMAC quoted a system that required a Single Board Computer (SBC), a PCMCIA PC/104 module, and an eight port serial PC/104 module. In addition, they required an enclosure and power supply for a Turnkey approach. When we added up all the components of the system the price was prohibitive.
EMAC then suggested a semi-custom solution. This is where we combine the functionality of other proven components into a single board design thereby decreasing the unit cost of the system. They gave us the go-ahead and we started the design. Since cost was a primary factor reducing the cost of chassis and power supply was key. We decided to leverage a known standard for small computers call ITX. ITX chassis tend to be treated as commodity computer equipment and therefore is less expensive.
EMAC chose a Geode GX1 300 MHz processor as it runs Linux well and is relatively inexpensive. We chose to utilize mini-PCI to provide 802.11g wireless connectivity as it is less expensive than using a PCMCIA/Card bus alternative. To round out the system we added eight software configurable Serial ports terminating to eight RJ45 connectors. This allowed us to get all the I/O out the back of the unit using a custom made I/O plate. The system booted EMAC's Linux distribution from Compact Flash disk, allowing the system to operate with no moving parts. Using EMAC's semi-custom approach we were able to meet all of the customer's expectations for the project.
A Car Wash System Control company was looking for a way that they could have a custom terminal board with specific connector placement and the provision to change processors in the future if their application required more processing power. EMAC suggested that they use a System on Module (SoM) approach. System on a module (SoM) is an ideal alternative to custom engineering. With a SoM approach you get the best of aspects of both buying Off-The-Shelf and of a Custom Engineered solution.
A SoM is comprised of a small processor module with CPU bus accessibility and standard I/O functionality. The SoM module has no connectorization and is designed to be plugged into a Carrier Board. The Carrier board contains the I/O connectors as well any other I/O requirement not provided on the SoM itself.
This approach allows for a custom Carrier Board design, which meets the customer's I/O, dimensional, and connector requirements without having worrying about the processor, memory, and standard I/O functionality. Car Wash system Control wished to utilize Windows XP Embedded and as such required a higher end processor that drove EMAC's selection of using a standard ETX module.
Once the format was determined EMAC designed a custom ETX Carrier board to meet Car Wash system Control's specifications. Included on the Carrier board were two Compact Flash sockets, Audio, USB, ATA IDE, Modem, PC/104+ connector, and an I/O coprocessor. Using a SoM approach allowed Car Wash system Control to choose an off-the-shelf processor module that met their current needs while allowing them a processor upgrade path for the future. They were also able to specify the exact dimensions, I/O functionality, connector type and locations of the Carrier board. The SoM approach was a great fit this project.
When a Screen Print Automation company Automation was getting ready to design their new, next generation automated high-tech screen printer they came to EMAC the Single Board Computer (SBC) experts. EMAC set them up with a SBC connected to an LCD with Touchscreen with Linux on Flash Disk. In addition a Screen Print Automation company required distributed motor control of up to 16 motors. EMAC responded by adding a PC/104 dual isolated CAN board and wrote custom Linux CANopen drivers to talk to networked AMC digital motor drive controllers. The integration of all this hardware in a small embedded package from a single vendor was very desirable for a Screen Print Automation company.
EMAC developed a high end PC/104 based Global Positioning System. The system supports two antennas and is being used by the military for sophisticated real-time positioning. The PC/104 module connects to a DSP module, which connects to a X86, based Single Board Computer used to store and format the data. The three boards plug together into a compact PC/104 module stack.
After having EMAC develop a custom display system for their Rotary Torso machine and an inexpensive LCD display for their first Stair Step machine, a fitness equipment monitoring company contracted EMAC to design and manufacture their Deluxe Digital Display package for their new Hydra Step Stair Step machine. The Digital Display System monitors step travel, as well as steps-per-minute, floors climbed, calories, and time. The System dynamically controls step resistance in conjunction with the selected profile on the display. Changes in the resistance, simulates going up and down hills. After having units out in the field for more than five years, less than one percent have been returned for service.
EMAC was contracted to design and manufacture a solid-state utility meter that could be read over the Internet for utility outage notifications. Con-Ed was very interested in using a solid state Power Outage Notification Device, but wanted one with certain modifications from what was available on the market at that time, One of their key requirements was the ability to call into their existing Voice/DTMF Recognition Unit. EMAC was contracted to redesign the unit to incorporate all of Con-Ed's additional requirements. The new device used an inexpensive microcontroller to generate and accept the DTMF tones required by the Recognition Unit without the use of a conventional DTMF encoder/decoder. In addition, the unit used the phone line to acquire the 50 uAmps of power required by the device, thus eliminating the need for a battery. The device was programmed using a custom Windows application also written by EMAC.
Unlike conventional magnetic stripe cards, Smart ½ Cards have a tiny microprocessor embedded in the card. This allows a far greater amount of data to be held on the card as well as the ability to change that data at any time, provided you know the password or key to get into the card. A credit card operated vending system company called on EMAC's experience to develop an integrated Smart Card reader allowing them to participate in this growing technology. EMAC designed an eight layer PC board utilizing surface mount technology front and back, allowing the board (about 3" by 3.5") to be reduced in size to fit the space provided. The system is installed in soda machines, copy machines, washing machines, and video games, for use by students on college campuses. Not only is the system more convenient than using cash, but the student can get transaction reports of their expenditures.
When an industrial detecting and testing company required a versatile Single Board Computer (SBC) with Analog and Digital I/O, which was both easy to program and inexpensive, they chose EMAC's MICROPAC 180 with MTBASIC. And when they needed an SBC with 24 bits of A/D, again they chose EMAC, however, this time they chose EMAC's Semi-Custom design services. EMAC took the MICROPAC 180 core and MTBASIC that was so comfortable with and added a 24 bit A/D, a few relays, and modified the firmware in the I/O coprocessor to pulse width modulate three valves. The result was a low cost product solution that can detect leaks in a Pneumatic system to 1/1000th of a PSI. The company wrote and maintains all the software and EMAC manufactures the units. A win-win for both companies.
EMAC designed a low power X86 based PC compatible computer system to be used in golf carts. The system uses a GPS to indicate to the golfer his distance from the hole. This information is also sent wirelessly back to the clubhouse, using well established Internet protocols, where the course can be properly marshaled. Food and drink can also be ordered through use of the system. The computer is compact, yet rugged enough to stand up to the abuse of daily use.
A Computer Products Corporation, which develops, produces and markets keyboard, video monitor and mouse (KVM) switch, extension and remote access products for use in the computer industry required the assistance of EMAC for a project they were working with. This product connects multiple computers to a single monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. The operator uses an on-screen selection to determine which computer is connected. EMAC, designed the circuitry, developed the schematics, laid out the PC board, and customized the BIOS for the project. Both DOS and the video BIOS were placed in Flash with the system BIOS to conserve space. The system has the capability of booting from floppy, hard drive, network, or Flash and a Flash file system was incorporated to allow solid-state file storage. A custom Video Switching Coprocessor and on-board Ethernet were also added. The addition of Ethernet allows the unit to be setup via Telnet from anywhere on the Web.
EMAC designed a residential utility meter that can be read over the Internet as well as locally through an Irda interface and is much more accurate than a mechanical meter. In addition to being able to be read remotely, the meter can also connect and disconnect power from the user remotely via the Web. A unique bus structure (Patent Pending) allows the meter to accept different communication modules for telephone, cable modem, RF, Cellular, and RS232. The meter also accepts different I/O modules that extend the meters capabilities to water and gas metering, home alarm notification, and power outage notification. A custom Visual Basic client/server application allows reading the meter and generating reports over the Web.
EMAC was contracted by A Bottling Company to design an interactive Windows CE based beverage dispenser that would track usage and automatically request syrup refills when required. The system features an EMAC off-the-shelf Panel PC with 10.4" LCD and touchscreen, and in addition to controlling the dispensing of beverages can also play MPEG video commercials. CE Direct X video and audio drivers were custom written allowing the MPEG video commercials to play smoothly.
In order to control the dispensing solenoid valves, EMAC custom designed a PC/104 based Valve Control board. This board features an 8-bit coprocessor that handles the precise mixing of water, Co2, and syrup. The Panel PC simply tells the valve control board which of the six beverages it is to dispense. The Valve Control board also keeps track of the amount of syrup usage and relays this information to the Panel PC.
In addition to controlling the valves, the Valve Control Board features a Spread Spectrum wireless modem that is used to send usage information to a specially equipped EMAC Server In a Box (SIB). The SIB is used as a gateway and can communicate information sent by the Panel PC to a Central Server over the Internet via Ethernet or Phone connection. EMAC wrote a custom Visual Basic program that handles, stores, and reports the information sent to the Central Server from the SIB gateway.
When a century old broadcast company decided to build their next generation high end Audio Mixer they came to EMAC to design the new processor core module. The system had a number of constraints, PC board size, cost, hot swappable, and reliability. The system also had to run Win CE and be able to load the Operating System via Ethernet on Demand.
EMAC choose the new AMD embedded processor the SC520. This processor replaces the older 486 DX5 133Mhz CPU. The SC520 is faster and runs much cooler than its predecessor. In addition the SC520 provides an SDRAM controller, PCI and ISA busses, two serial ports, and one high speed Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI). The SSI played a key part in decision to use the SC520 as they wanted a high speed, yet simple interface to the Mixer FPGA. The SSI fit the bill and worked out perfectly.
EMAC used an Alpha/Beta approach. An Alpha board was designed with additional debug and test hardware added. Since the Alpha board has no size constraints the board could be made large enough to hold the additional circuitry. Although the production Mixer would be a "Headless Design" (No video or keyboard/mouse), the Alpha was designed with video (C&T 69000) and keyboard/mouse. This allows a robust platform in which to develop code and do proof of concept.
At this point EMAC did the CE 3.0 port and completed the Ethernet Enabled Boot Loader. Once the Operating System and all its drivers are fully functional, Microsoft development tools can be utilized. By EMAC delivering the hardware with the Operating System fully operational and tested, which is the hardest part of using CE,they were moving full speed ahead with their application.
Once the Alpha was approved, EMAC started the task of creating the Beta board. The Beta board is very similar to the production units in size and functionality. EMAC required only one PCB revision for both the Alpha and Beta boards and the Beta board had not a single mod-wire. Since the Beta board had no design flaws the broadcast company was able to move straight to production.
Since production quality at this company is paramount and the annual production quantity was several hundred units per year, they decided to have EMAC do the manufacturing as well as the design. EMAC with its own in-house production line can handle large production runs and is committed to continuous improvement and quality. EMAC only manufactures boards in which it designs, assuring an intimate knowledge of the hardware which translates into a high yield, high quality production runs.
When an internet media company needed someone to develop a CE based Internet Radio they knew where to look. EMAC was given the task of developing an inexpensive yet hi-fidelity Internet Radio running CE 3.0 with Direct X.
The Internet Radio differs from other streaming radio products in that it is designed to be a Stereo Component with RCA output jacks, not a tabletop appliance. The unit was equipped with both 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and a 56K modem allowing it to receive streaming MP3 content from a network or phone line via the Internet. A small graphic LCD and keypad arrangement allows easy selection of audio content.
EMAC decided to use the new AMD SC520 processor in conjunction with on-board flash, SDRAM, and a high-end PCI Creative Labs sound chip in the construction of the unit. The AMD processor has the horsepower (66 MHz Front Side Bus), is highly integrated (SDRAM and PCI bus controllers) and does not require a heat sink. A separate co-processor was used to control the LCD and keypad.
When a global provider of networking and industrial data communication products needed a x86 compatible version of their popular Real Time Server, they sought out EMAC, the x86 experts. EMAC designed a new x86 platform that would allow them to deliver their server preloaded with Windows NT Embedded, XP Embedded, CE, or Linux residing in Flash Disk. The X86 version of the server features 10 serial ports, a modem port, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet with downstream switch, parallel printer port, USB, Irda, keyboard/mouse, and optional PCMCIA expansion. The unit features no moving parts assuring high reliability for 24/7 environments.
In addition to designing the hardware, EMAC also modified the existing drivers forthe 8 COM Rocketport ASIC, allowing the drivers to operate on the new x86 platform.
The server is a fully programmable serial gateway allowing Ethernet connectivity to serial (RS232/422/485) devices. The fact that unit can be easily programmed by the user, allows any serial data protocols to be standardized and sent to a host via Ethernet or Modem. By supporting most popular operating systems, the user can program the unit in whatever development environment that he or she is comfortable in.
When it came time for a world class manufacturer of poultry production equipment to develop a new fully automated hatchery system they chose EMAC to provide their embedded system. EMAC's experience with web enabling devices using our Server-In-a-Box (SIB) technology was a critical component in the design. Using this technology EMAC is able to Web enable serial controller based systems.
The old system required that they fly around the world to the remotest parts of the earth to troubleshoot their hatchery systems. The new system developed by EMAC allows them to fully troubleshoot the system via the web, or where the Internet is not available to dial in directly to the system, similar to dialing into an Internet provider.
The system uses a SCADA approach where all the real-time control is performed by a custom controller board designed and manufactured by EMAC. This board controls temperature and humidity to a tenth of a degree, controls three phase motors for the pulsator fans, and a hydraulic system for the egg turner. A graphic system communicates with the Controller board in order to interrogate the system.
The Controller board communicates via isolated RS485 using UDP/IP protocol to a Front Panel Display and an SIB. The Front Panel Display is a 486 PC-SBC running a Netscape browser on Linux OS. It uses a 7.7" LCD with Touch-screen and all of Netscape's chrome/controls have been cut off. When a user uses the Front Panel Display the user has no idea that he is using a Browser based interface.
The controller connection to the SIB provides the user with remote access to the system. The system can be comprised of up to 200 Controller boards and the SIB provides a window into the whole system. Using a client system running a browser connected to the SIB either through network or dial-up, the user can select the unit, and pull up information on that unit as if they were in front of the machine. The beauty of the system is that you are using the same graphics and user interface for the local user interface as for the remote user interface.

Mosh Posh October And A Winner!
Parade #1 for Preschool Monkey.
Followed by cafe au soy break with the Mr.
And now I'm home hanging out with the Preschool Monkey again.
Every six months or so, I'm lucky enough to get together with a few of my scrappy friends. On a day-to-day basis, we tweet, call, email, and visit each other's blogs, but there is nothing like a real life visit to reconnect. This time, it was Keisha and Cindy and me. I love these gals. We just get each other.
In conclusion: fun was had by all!
They didn't trust me to do my share of the paddling. Sheesh!
Love this shot of color in the edge of the sidewalk.
When we saw this, we said, "If only Kelly was here. She'd eat one."
Wondering if this was a public restroom?
Something I like a lot: food. I'm writing about quiche today at the Mosh Posh blog.
This quiche in particular. Broccoli, peas, and pesto. Yum.
Ayi. I feel like October is rushing past me. And I haven't even figured out what costumes to make my kids. Must not wait til the week before. I'm a major procrastinator.
Moving on to more pleasant chat. Mosh Posh layouts!
This one was really simple to put together. I printed all the photos and the journaling on matte photo paper, then adhered the patterned paper and letter stickers, and proceed to sew around the photos. In a moment of late night lunacy, I added french knots to the little flowers.
The holes on the corners of this layout were punched with the Fiskars In Stitches edge punch. I so love that thing.
Onto the good stuff. We have a winner!
Lorena said...Ooohh, such a fan of Jennifer McGuire too! And the rain has finally stopped here too, I thought for sure it would have been 40 days and 40 nights soon! I do hope randomness comes my direction!
Lorena, randomness did come your way! Yeah! Congrats. Email me your info by using the email button to the left, and I'll get that issue shipped to you.
Now off to figure out costumes.
There he is. Looking angelic, smiling at Nai-Nai, like nothing happened. Personally, I think he still looks pretty darn cute. But not quite like a little boy anymore. He's happy because he thinks he looks like Matt Bellamy. Is that a good thing?
ps: there is still time to enter and win Creating Keepsakes' 101+ Creative Ways To Use Your Scrapbook Supplies (phew, that is a long title!). Go here.
Happy Wednesday! It stopped raining here in Philly! Yeah! I'm excited about that and about this special issue of Creating Keepsakes. I haven't gotten my copy yet. But I love love love Jennifer McGuire, therefore I know I'm going to like this. A lot.
You can take a peek inside here.
ps: Oh, for a look at my Mosh Posh layouts, check out MP's blog.
I usually can't remember to bring a camera with me everywhere (I know, huh, so much for being a scrapbooker...) So I decided to shoot this weekend in photos with my iPhone, using ShakeItPhoto. Love that app.
What did we do. Not much. We spent part of Saturday at one of our local farmers' market. Actually we chose that one on purpose. Because, you see, Renaissance Sausage Truck was going to be there. Pretty great chow. Then we walked around, looked at all the great Fall-ish goods, and bought some pies. There was also trip to the library, resulting in me trying to read outside, but damn, it was (is) wet. And crazy leafy, not because it's Fall (too early for leaf peeping around here), but because it's been crazy windy and stormy. There was also Mexican food, Trader Joe's, some scrapbooking, organizing my stamp stash, and lots of napping.
Not the most productive weekend, but pretty good overall. And that is what counts, right?
