There has been a lot of talk about Haswell and its lack of graphics prowess. Let's set the record straight, those reports are dead wrong.
Before diving in to the chip itself, you need a bit of history to understand the magnitude of what Haswell brings to the table. Current Sandy Bridge GPUs, when their drivers work, are put to shame by AMD's Llano GPU. AMD routinely posts double the frame rates of Intel chips even though the Intel CPU is much more powerful. The take home message is that AMD has a massive GPU advantage, Intel a massive CPU advantage on chips aimed at the same place in the market.
Technically, the Sandy Bridge based Core iSomethingmeaningless has two types of GPUs, the 6 shader HD 2000 variant and the HD 3000 with 12 shaders. Don't look for any more information on Intel's once worthwhile site though, they are scrubbing any useful GPU information from it because knowledge gets in the way of marketing games. In any case, the fastest Intel GPU is roughly equivalent to half of what AMD brings to the table. That is, it brings half of AMD's power if the Intel drivers work, and that is not a good bet.
The next generation part called Ivy Bridge is due out in late March or early April, and brings HD 4000 labelled graphics to the table. For raw numbers, the top HD 4000 only has 16 shaders, but the underlying architecture is completely new. Between architectural changes, clock speed increases, and other changes, Intel is claiming about 2x the graphics performance from 33% more units. We don't think these claims are out of line for the general case.
About the time Intel catches up with AMD, AMD has new generation called Trinity coming out. At a recent analyst day, AMD was claiming that the performance of Trinity will be the same as Llano in half the wattage. While performance doesn't scale linearly with wattage, you would not be out of line to think the gap between AMD and Intel graphics performance won't change significantly on the next generation of chips.
That brings us to Haswell, the follow on generation to Ivy Bridge. Haswell uses a tweaked version of the Ivy Bridge shaders. It is not a new GPU architecture by any means, but it is enhanced, so one Haswell shader is worth a bit more than an Ivy shader. How much isn't known yet, the only sure thing about Intel graphics is what the hardware engineers giveth, the software guys taketh, mangle, botch, and hand to PR to twist logic around.
Why did we say that the reports on Haswell are wrong? Most claim a modest increase in graphics performance, and it is anything but. There are three variants of Haswell graphics, GT1, GT2, and GT3. The top end part, GT3, has 40 of the enhanced Ivy shaders. If the chip does not increase GPU clocks at all, has zero performance enhancements, nor anything else, it will be 2.5x as fast as Ivy Bridge. That in turn is 2x as fast as Sandy Bridge, so 5x what you can buy from Intel today. AMD's Kaveri had better be damn quick to stay in the game.

The SODA Project: A data archive for social sciences
Scientific research and innovation are essential components of progress. As such they benefit humankind at large. Yet science cannot properly function without the pooling of knowledge. Sharing research data makes it possible to reuse them. This concerns most of the various disciplines of social sciences, which are heavily data-driven. But sharing datasets is impossible without an adequate infrastructure.
CESSDA: The European network of data archives
The first infrastructures dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of survey data in Europe were created in the 1950s. As stewards of scientific data, they came to be known as 'data archives'.
Most European countries nowadays have such a central data archive despite the differences in terms of size or resources.
In 1976 the various actors in the field of data archiving came together and created a formal network called the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA). This entity works as a distributed platform for its member states as well as observer members. Its main goal is the support of comparative social science research at the European level.
In 2017 CESSDA earned the status of European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), a legal entity under European law endowed with legal capacity in all states of the European Union.
Data archiving and the SODA project
The SODA (Social Sciences Data Archive) project aims to develop a prototype for a data archive that will become the Belgian representative in CESSDA and beyond. This future entity must provide different types of services that address the needs of the social science research community.
Such services, which revolve around the concept of data lifecycle, are research, planning, collection, analysis, and archiving.
Research: Access to existing data through a portal that links to one or several databases;
Planning: Reviewing datasets to help conceive new research projects;
Collection: Training, tools and services that support the data collection process;
Analysis: Encoding and enriching raw data in order to perform secondary analysis;
Archiving: Secure long-term preservation of research data.
To reach these objectives, the SODA project involves:
Elaborating the business model of the future organization, including the tasks and responsibilities of the various potential partners of the service provider;
Studying the legal and organizational framework which the Belgian data archive will integrate;
Preparing a physical and software infrastructure to support the prototype;
Devising a crosswalk between the metadata standards of traditional archives, notably XML-EAD (eXtensible Markup Language – Encoded Archival Description), and that of social sciences, DDI (Data Documentation Initiative).
The project, which is financially supported by the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office (BELSPO), brings together the following partner institutions:
State Archives of Belgium (coordinating institution)
Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) : Jean-Paul Sanderson, Centre de recherche en démographie (DEMO), headed by Thierry Eggerickx.
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) : Laura Van Den Borre, Interface Demography, headed by Patrick Deboosere.
Researchers: Freya De Schamphelaere (legal aspects) and Benjamin Peuch (IT issues)
Coordination: Rolande Depoortere (project manager and head of the DIGI-P@T – Digital Access and Preservation service) and Yves Lardinois (head of software engineering)

2019: The Year of the Data Archive!
The SODA project team would like to wish you a most happy new year! 2019 is the home stretch for the SODA project. Our feasability study for the establishment of a data archive and service provider for the social sciences in Belgium will yield its final report by the end of the year. This entails several challenges yet also opportunities. On the threshold of Europe 2020 the SODA project will finally deliver a clear roadmap that will guide decision-makers when the time comes to truly launch and sustain the Belgian data archive once the prototype is up and running. The project priorities are the following.

Assessing the needs of Belgian social scientists
Open (research) data, open science, open access, data management plans, data security, protection of privacy… Such are but a few of the many questions that Belgian social scientists are now faced with more than ever. The SODA project team sought to learn more about the needs and concerns of its target audience by sending a needs assessment survey to all Belgian universities.

Q: css positioning far right - with minimum width I am a mostly skilled server-end developer, and am creating an ambitious website project - all by myself. I know c#, MVC, T-SQL, LINQ, and ASP.NET pretty well. Obviously, since I'm working by myself, I have knowledge in design too. I'm obviously good with html (who isn't?). And I absolutely love jQuery! The thing is, I'm decent in my understanding of css, but css is my least knowledgeable trait. I understand programming, I also am good in design, not just because I have a decent level of knowledge in css (and jQuery) - but also because I just know what looks good (I can draw and paint on real paper too).
The thing is, I know I can probably do this with jQuery code, but I was wondering if this could also be done with css alone. On my main design (Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml) - I made the body to have a "min-width: (my value);" attribute, which, obviously isn't supported with older browsers, so I also included a transparent image of a default width of 1px that I set to stretch to my desired width also - it works in controlling the width of the page (to the minimum I desired). But - I have a site header div which resides at the top of the page. I have a part of that header div with elements positioned on the far right - which is nice when the browser is on a device that is large enough and the browser is in decent size, but once the browser is set to a size less than my desired minimum width, then the scroll bar shows up, and I can move it around as expected. But, the elements in that header div do not stay to the far right in conjunction with my minimum width - but stay on the right of the current window size instead. I have the main div holding the elements itself set to be in fixed position, I tried making those elements relative with no success. I tried a few ideas, the problem still persists.
So, as I said, I am well aware of concepts using jQuery that can do what I have previously described I desire in these regards, but, as I also said, I know a decent amount of css, but am the least close to an "expert" in css than anything else I know. I just have a strong suspicion what I desire here can be done with css and css alone (also, it would be nice to have it compatible with most browsers, or at the least most browsers made after the year 2008).
Can someone please give me some good information in these regards?

A: I just remembered asking this question.
I actually found a way to go about doing what I wrote I desired here through some experimentation that eventually got me to where I needed to be. What I did was instead of using relative positioning - which I thought was the proper way of doing this, I used absolute positioning inside the absolute positioned top header div. I didn't think this would be the solution at the time of asking the question, I assumed setting something as absolute positon - even inside something that is already absolute positioned - would put it in a new context of absolute positioning like any absolute positioned element inside the body tag. What I discovered was if I put an absolute positioned element inside another absolute positioned element - the context of the absolute positioning was based on the original absolute positioned element - so top (or left for that matter) 0px wasn't 0px from the context of the body (the very top of the page) - but - 0px from the element that the element is inside of. I think that's a pretty explanation of it, so I'll end explaining it here.
I'm sure there's plenty of people that know css much more than I do, and think this issue I had here is so basic, but, I did ask the question, and I might as well answer it based upon the solution I used. I could've posted an example on jsfiddle like asked for in a comment, but I thought my explanation was good enough, and since no one offered an answer based on my question alone, I decided to try to address the issue with experimentation, which I had success with.

In 2015, First Languages Australia developed Junyirri for the Indigenous Languages Support Program, administered by the Department of Communications and the Arts. The aim was to assist the establishment and ongoing development of community language programs. Input from language centres around the country was essential to ensure that this framework is useful in all language contexts.
Junyirri draws on the shared experience of many different languages projects and programs within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.
The framework is intended to guide people to think about their current language situation, their aspirations for the use of language in their community, what assets their community has available, and the types of language programs that might be suitable for their situation.
It draws on the shared experience of many different language projects and programs within Aboriginal communities and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.
write key performance indicators for a funding submission, based on a chosen project.
The title Junyirri was suggested by Gary Williams, from the Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Cooperative. Junyirri has a similar meaning to 'talking together', 'conversing' or 'in conversation' in the Gumbaynggirr language. It is pronounced 'jun-yirri', with the 'u' as in 'put', 'I' as in 'bit', and the emphasis on the first syllable.

Voters in the Ohio House 24th District will have a choice this fall between Democratic incumbent Ted Celeste and Republican newcomer Nathan Larger.
Celeste, 64, a Grandview Heights resident, was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2006, defeating three-term incumbent Geoffrey C. Smith. Celeste is the chair of the Alternative Energy committee, as well as the Higher Education subcommittee of Finance and Appropriations.
He also serves on the committees for Consumer Affairs and Economic Protection, Finance and Appropriations, and Judiciary.
Celeste said he is running for re-election because there are still many things to accomplish.
"I'm running because we haven't finished the job yet," Celeste said. "I feel like we've made a good start, and that there's lots to do."
He pointed toward focusing on jobs in the short and long term, supporting the Grandview Yard commercial/retail project and being active in helping to pass the Third Frontier Program as accomplishments of his current term. He said some of his key issues have included making Ohio a leader in alternative energy and green job creation, keeping college affordable and putting forth a new state primary education plan, as well as focusing on health care and quality of life issues.
Prior to serving in the State House, Celeste and his wife, Bobbie, taught school in the Fiji Islands in 1969 and 1970. After their return, Celeste served as acting chief of the Bureau of Consumer Services in the Ohio Department of Public Welfare, and then as assistant to the director of the Ohio Department of Finance.
Celeste is also president of Celeste and Associates Real Estate, Inc., a residential real estate company, as well as founder of Advanced Interactive Video, Inc., an electronic marketing and promotions company. Celeste holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the College of Wooster. He and his wife have two daughters, Christiana and Liz.
Larger, 26, a Hilliard resident, is currently a project manager for Ferguson Construction of Hilliard. He came out on top in a highly competitive primary election earlier this year, defeating Republican Party-endorsed candidate Jason Rafeld by only 89 votes.
Campaigning as a "true Conservative," Larger supports pro-life issues, traditional marriage, reducing the tax burden on Ohioans and pro-Second Amendment rights. He is also involved in his area's 9/12 Project group.
"Citizens of the 24th District, and throughout Ohio, are fed up with the political games that dominate government today," Larger said in a news release. "And in this time of economic turmoil, Ohio needs citizen leaders, not politicians."
Larger received his bachelor's degree in construction systems management from Ohio State University in 2007. The eldest of five children, Larger grew up in New Bremen, Ohio. He and his wife, Samantha, were married last May.
The Ohio House of Representatives 24th District encompasses Upper Arlington, Marble Cliff, Grandview Heights, parts of the Hilltop area, and a portion of Columbus in the 270/70 area.

Q: Compiling Direct X 11 code on windows 8 I've been trying to run the examples from the book 'Introduction to 3D Game Programming with Direct X 11' by Frank Luna however, no matter what I try I can't seem to get any of the projects to compile.
I've installed the june 2010 SDK as per instructions found here: http://d3dcoder.net/WordPress/
However I'm not sure I've done the rest of the tasks correctly.
Has anyone had any luck trying to run these? I'd like to learn Direct X but without the proper way to compile them I'm pretty much dead in the water.

A: The include/lib path order for using the legacy DirectX SDK with VS 2012 or later is inverted from the traditional order used for VS 2010. You need to modify your project's VC++ Directories to account for this.
For x86/Win32 configurations:
$(ExecutablePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Utilities\bin\x86
$(IncludePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Include
$(LibraryPath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Lib\x86

For x64 native configurations:
$(ExecutablePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Utilities\bin\x64;$(DXSDK_DIR)Utilities\bin\x86
$(IncludePath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Include
$(LibraryPath);$(DXSDK_DIR)Lib\x64

This is covered in detail on MSDN.
You should also read the notes I have about that book on my blog. His DirectX 11 book was published just prior to the deprecation of the legacy DirectX SDK, so it's a bit out-of-date on the margins although the core API stuff is fine.

Real democracy cannot be achieved in haste says Cardinal Zen
HONG KONG (SE): At the screening on December 30 of a documentary, Umbrella Diaries: The First Umbrella, about the Umbrella Movement, Joseph Cardinal Zen Ze-kiun, the former bishop of Hong Kong, said people in the movement had already achieved something by showing their strong desire for real universal suffrage. However, he also urged them to have a strategy and not to expect a quick victory.
"Do not be impatient for a result, it is dangerous," he said.
Two screenings were organised by the Justice and Peace Commission and the League of Social Democrats at St. Vincent's parish, Wong Tai Sin, on December 29 and 30.
Besides the cardinal, guest speakers included Benny Tai Yiu-ting, one of the three founders of the Occupy Central movement, as well as Tommy Cheung Sau-yin, former president of the Student Union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Raphael Wong Ho-ming, vice-chairperson of the League of Social Democrats, among many others who took part in the movement.
The three, together with six other advocates, face incitement charges and verdicts are expected to be reached on April 9.
Executive producer, Shu Kei, and director, James Leong, were also asked to talk about the production process.
The documentary begins with the candlelight vigil at Victoria Park, Causeway Bay, on 4 June 2014, to the police dispersal of Umbrella Movement demonstrators using pepper spray and tear gas on September 28.
Leong said it took three years to edit the footage as he tried to present the movement from different viewpoints, including that of the three founders of Occupy Central, student leaders as well as members of the general public who spontaneously took part later. In this way, he hoped to make a documentary that would allow people to draw their own conclusions about the event.
The director said the developments after 28 September 2014, such as how the police dispersal triggered sit-in protests in different areas of Hong Kong for 79 days, would be covered in the second part of the movie. He hoped to release it next year on the fifth anniversary of the Umbrella Movement.
Cardinal Zen, who showed constant concern about the movement in 2014, as well as for the student leaders imprisoned afterwards, said the documentary is a valuable source of information. He said that it made a clear record of how Hong Kong people have been fighting for universal suffrage in a rational and peaceful way, proved by the high turnout of over 790,000 voters in an unofficial referendum on universal suffrage in June 2014.
The cardinal said the documentary also illustrated the beauty of Hong Kong people, as it documented how protestors stuck to their ethical principles to keep the protest peaceful, including caring for the safety of the fellow protestors, showing empathy with the police and telling the crowd not to charge the police.
Observing that even though the movement seems to have achieved nothing at present, he quoted Bao Tong, a Chinese advocate, who said in an article published by Radio Free Asia on 4 September 2014 that Occupy Central achieved two things: first, making a clear historical record that Hong Kong people demand universal suffrage and their determination to fight for it is really strong; second, it illustrated the truth that Beijing does not intend to offer real universal suffrage, as the movement was sparked by the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on 31 August 2014 that prescribed a selective pre-screening of candidates for the election of chief executive in 2017.
The cardinal reminded people not to expect quick victories or to be easily be tempted to "upgrade their actions" as any impulsive act may cause unnecessary sacrifices.
He encouraged them to know when to stop and wait for a good timing, and it is only in this way that they can "make the biggest achievement with minimal effort."
Tai, on the other hand, said he felt especially touched seeing the large number of people spontaneously joining. He chuckled that the documentary may have a lot of episodes as the fight for democracy is a long one with tougher trials ahead and cannot be successful without strong faith.
He believes there is also a need for people to develop trust between themselves. He said the Justice and Peace Commission and the League of Social Democrats, two parties that rarely work together, showed how, by co-organising the screenings, trust can develop.
The two screenings were attended by over 400 people. Many raised their hands to show that they voted in unofficial referendum, took part in the democracy protests in 2014, or even suffered from the tear gas of the police.
Among the attendants were Catherine Su Wu-ying, a retired educational practitioner. She told the Sunday Examiner that said she appreciates the young people in the movement who have dreams and courage. However, at the same time, she also worried about their future, thinking that they may pay too high a price if imprisonment is involved.
She said the film allowed her to review and know more about the movement so that she could think about her own role in Hong Kong.

In the present paper a flux-based rotor position estimation algorithm was implemented using the Simulink development suite. The aforementioned method was selected because of the simplicity, robustness and low computational complexity of the algorithm. The design was implemented in several blocks, where each one of them represents a different stage in the rotor position estimation algorithm. The results were tested on a mathematical model for the WEKA SR-30102 switched reluctance motor. In order to accurately model its behavior, the non-linearity of the motor was taken into account. The mathematical equations that describe the mechanical and electrical properties of the motor were used in order to model the corresponding effects that occur inside the machine. A closed-loop operation was used using a classical implementation of a PID controller. To validate the results the output of the rotor position estimation block was compared against the rotor position and the results were analyzed.
Keywords: flux linkage; sensorless; simulation; Simulink; switched reluctance motor.
En el presente trabajo se implementó un algoritmo para la estimación de la posición de rotor en motores de reluctancia conmutada usando las concatenaciones de flujo en la herramienta de desarrollo Simulink. El método anteriormente mencionado fue elegido por su simplicidad, robustez y baja complejidad computacional. El diseño fue implementado en diferentes bloques, donde cada uno representa una etapa del proceso algoritmo. Los resultados fueron probados en un modelo matemático para el motor WEKA SR-30102. Con el objetivo de modelar precisamente el comportamiento del motor se tomaron en cuenta las no linearidades propias de este tipo de motor. Se usaron las ecuaciones matemáticas que describen el comportamient eléctrico y mecánico para modelar el comportamiento interno del motor. Se usó una implementación clásica de un controlador PID para la operación a la lazo cerrado del accionamiento. Para validar los resultados, la salida del bloque para la estimación de la posición se comparó con la posición real, analizando los resultados obtenidos.
Palabras clave: concatenaciones de flujo; estimación sin sensores; simulación; Simulink; motor de reluctancia conmutada.
The switched reluctance motor is an electric motor in which torque is produced by the tendency of its rotor to move towards a position where the inductance of the excited winding is maximized. The origin of the reluctance motor can be traced back to 1842, but the "reinvention" has been possibly due to the advent of inexpensive, high-power switching devices. The reluctance motor is a type of synchronous machine. It has wound field coils of a DC motor for its stator windings and has no coils or magnets on its rotor. Both the stator and rotor have salient poles; hence, the switched-reluctance motor is a doubly salient machine [1,2].
It has several advantages that make it an important competitor among other widely used machines, such as direct-current motors, induction motors or even synchronous motors. We can point out its simple and low cost construction and the advantage that bidirectional currents are not necessary. Moreover, thermal losses appear only in the stator, which in fact is easier to cool down. Another important advantage is the speed-torque characteristic which is adjustable, making it possible to obtain high torque at low speed, thereby avoiding the use of gear boxes. It is also possible to make use of these motors at high temperatures and speed in comparison to other motors such as permanent magnet motors [1,3].
As previously mentioned, switched-reluctance machines are attractive since they are reliable, relatively cheap and they produce high torque at low speed. These characteristics make them suitable for different purposes, among others for direct-drive and actioning robots applications, where position and velocity of joints must be controlled. However, this kind of machine is not easy to control; even under experimentally-validated assumptions leading to some simplifications.
Firstly, the dynamic model is highly nonlinear e.g., the generated electromagnetic torque is a complicated function of the electric currents and rotor positions. Secondly, reliable and accurate indirect sensing methods for the mechanical variables are fundamental in the development of low-cost, high-performance switched-reluctance motors. On one hand, the use of mechanical sensors increase the cost of the set-up and on the other, velocity sensors are often contaminated with noise. Therefore, avoiding the use of angular velocity and position sensors which is well known as sensorless control, is beyond pure theoretical interest.
Literature on sensorless adaptive control on other class of electrical machines is rich. For instance, in , an adaptive observer of flux, velocity, load torque and resistance of an induction motor is presented and practical stability based on Lyapunov theory is guaranteed, experimental validation is presented as well. In , is presented an adaptive high gain interconnected observer which is only supplied by the measurements of electrical currents and voltages of the permanent magnet synchronous motor, this observer estimates the rotor speed, the position, the stator resistance and the load torque.
In , a sensorless speed control for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors is designed by combining a robust back-stepping controller with integral actions and an adaptive interconnected observer, sufficient conditions are given to prove practical stability of the closed-loop. A sensorless output feedback sliding-mode controller and observer are designed in order to drive the induction motor without using neither flux nor speed sensors, stability properties are guaranteed based in Lyapunov theory and experimental runs are presented as well. An interesting cascade and High-Gain Observers Comparison for Sensorless control of induction motor is presented in  and in .
The authors of , presented a sensorless control for switched-reluctance motors based on direct torque control. An interesting approach appears in , where without using optical or magnetic sensors, stored magnetic characteristic information is utilized in order to elucidate the mechanical position, the same approach is presented in .
A coordinate transformation of the current phases system is utilized in , to design a position observer; experimental result are also presented. Some work on non model-based control has been as well reported, in  and in , fuzzy logic-based sensorless control algorithms are described and experimental results are presented as well. In  neural networks have been applied to predict position from inductance. Likewise, in  an improved back propagate neural network with inductance input pretreatment for the rotor position estimator of switched-reluctance motor is proposed as well as a sensorless control algorithm.
For fully sensorless control, in [17,18], is given a controller where position and velocity are obtained from information about flux linkage and phase currents. In this avenue, sliding mode observers are common, for example, paper , deal with the velocity and position estimation problem, other works on sliding mode observers are [20-22], where experimental results are also included.
In this paper a flux-based Rotor Position Estimator for a Switched Reluctance Motor in Simulink was implemented. The aforementioned method was selected because of the simplicity, robustness and low computational complexity of the algorithm. Also the selected method allows the motor to operate in a large portion of the speed-torque characteristic, aspect that is desirable.
The SRM was modeled (Fig.1), as part of a system that integrates a closed loop speed controller, a phase activation scheme and a power converter.
A classical PID controller was implemented and his behavior is mathematically expressed as shown in equation (1).
In figure 2, it can be seen the implementation a simple PID controller using a speed reference as an input.
The SRM WEKA SR-30102 has a 2-bit optical sensor attached to the shaft, yielding three possible combinations, that is either one of the sensor outputs is ON or none of them are, the last case in which both of them are ON is physically impossible, due to the mechanical characteristic of the rotary disc. This behavior was modeled in Simulink using the rotor position signal and a digital logic to select the correct phase to be powered.
The power stage features an asymmetric half bridge power converter that uses two switches per phase, allowing high flexibility when implementing control strategies. Inside of the power converter module are implemented four different control strategies, that is, hysteresis current control, single pulse controller and open and closed loop PWM controllers.
Figure 3 (left) shows the model of the switched reluctance motor. In order to accurately model its behavior, the non-linearity of the motor was taken into account. The mathematical equations that describe the mechanical and electrical properties of the motor were used in order to model the corresponding effects that occur inside the machine. In figure 3 (right) it can be seen the implementation of such model. As it can be seen, there are two submodules that lay the foundation on which the method is based, that is, the electrical and mechanical equations.
The electrical equation can be derived as follows: the applied voltage to a phase is equal to the sum of the resistive voltage drop and the rate of the flux linkage per phase, as it can be seen in equation (2).
Neglecting the mutual inductance between the phases equation 2 can be expanded, for phase A, as shown in equation (3).
Reorganizing and integrating in equation (3) we have equation (4).
Where, is the phase voltage, is the phase resistance, is the phase current, is the inductance, is the back-emf and is the rotor speed.
Using the aforementioned equation, the electrical module was implemented (fig.4). The module is integrated by four blocks that contain the necessary information (flux linkage, torque, inductance, back-emf) to do the calculations. Each one of them is represented as a three-dimensional look up table (LUT) with the data stored in memory.
On the other hand, the mechanical equation (equation 5), is widely known, and was used to implement the mechanical block in Simulink (figure 5).
As was stated in the Introduction section, in this paper the flux linkage method was selected and was tested using a classical implementation of a PID controller.
In equation (1), phase voltage was defined as the sum of the resistive voltage drop and the rate of the flux linkage per phase. Isolating the flux linkage, and integrating, the equation remains as shown in equation (6).
The flux linkage method calculates the flux linkage of SRM under different phase currents and rotor position. Thereafter, establish a three-dimensional table to store the data. The rotor position can then, be determined, by looking at the stored current and flux linkage values (figure 6 left). Although the method is simple for implementation purposes, it does require extensive characterization of the machine and medium to large amounts of memory.
The LUT implementation requires the use of the machine flux linkage tree-dimensional surface. The data can be obtained using either mathematical methods to generate approximations of the flux linkage curves [3,16], or using finite element analysis [2,8]. In either case the result is a three-dimensional LUT with the current, flux linkage and position data.
The first step was to select the data that will be used as the input for LUT. The goal is to replicate the relationship between the current, flux linkage and position with a one to one relationship between the first two variables and the third. Figure 7, shows that there is a two to one relationship between the variables, i.e. there are two flux linkage values for each pair of current and position. This happens because the SRM in question presents an irregular rotor, therefore the flux linkage surface it's not symmetrical. This particular motor is designed to rotate in only one direction, therefore only one side of the flux linkage surface is needed (figure 6 right).
The results from the simulation of the Switched Reluctance Motor from section 2 and its control strategy are shown. Also, the rotor position estimation algorithm implementation is discussed, and then compared to the real values of the position.
To achieve this, an experiment was designed with the parameters presented on the table 1.
In previous sections the Switched Reluctance Motor model implemented in Simulink was explained. In order to analyze its behavior, the electrical and magnetic parameters where measured.
In the figure 8 (left), the voltage and speed are shown, on the right side a zoom was made on the former to observe the commutation of the phase voltage. The operation of the motor is described starting form standstill position until the motor reaches 3 000 rpm.
Applying the nominal voltage to phase (figure 9), using soft chopping modulation and current hysteresis closed loop control at 10 % of the full load, results in a peak current flowing through the windings of 5,2 A.
From the electromagnetic part of the analysis are the flux linkage and torque which can be seen in figure 10.
The calculation of the flux linkage using the current and voltage signals is the core of the rotor position estimation algorithm. figure 11, shows the real flux linkage vs the estimated one and the error of the calculation. As it can be seen the worst error is less than 3,2 %.
The next step is to assess the rotor position estimation. figure 12, shows the real position vs the estimated one and the error of the calculation. As it can be seen the worst error is less than 5 °, that represents less than 2,8 %.
In this paper, a position sensorless control strategy for high-speed SRM drives using a flux linkage method for the rotor angular position estimation has been proposed and tested. A reference flux linkage selecting principle was defined on the basis of FEM simulations. The motor speed and rotor position angle estimation equations were detailed. The experimental tests were performed in 4/2 pole SRM prototype, using the mathematical model implemented in Simulink. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility, effectiveness and reliability of the proposed algorithm for both low- and high-speed SRM.

The Players Centre for Performing Arts is Coming to Lakewood Ranch
Posted by Robert Casella on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at 8:55 PM By Robert Casella / May 8, 2019 Comment
The Waterside Place Development in Lakewood Ranch is proud to be the future home for The Players Centre for Performing Arts. April 9, the organization unveiled their plan for its new campus and plans to break ground by the end of the year.
The campus itself will reside on 4.5 acres, include three buildings, and span a total of 70,000 square feet. According to The Observer, "These include a 480-seat main stage auditorium with balcony seating, a 125-seat black box theatre, a 100-seat cabaret theatre with dining and The Arnold Simonsen Players Studio where education takes place."
Initially started in 1936, The Player's Centre began when there were only 8,000 residents of Sarasota and 5,000 annual visitors. The Players Centre became a reality when it moved into a real theatre at the corner of north Tamiami Trail and 9th Street. It was built of pecky cypress, had 246 seats, a lobby with a welcoming fireplace, a large, deep stage and full-capacity lighting system. If you can imagine, they began with only 256 members who contributed just $2 each for subscriptions.
A few fun facts of The Players Centre:
Montgomery Clift made his acting debut on The Players stage during the 1932-1933 season.
Teenager Jayne Meadows performed on The Players stage and went on to stardom.
In the 1935-1936 season, The Players Theatre presented an operetta written expressly for The Players by Arthur Davison Ficke, one of America's foremost modern poets.
Verman Kimbrough, cast as the lead in "The Man Who Came To Dinner," had a distinguished international operatic career. He became president of the Ringling School in 1933 and Mayor of Sarasota in 1938-1939.
Excitement reigned when Bette Davis attended the opening night performance of "Grand Hotel."
Peter Strader, a native Sarasotan, was named Producing Director in 1955.
Charlton Heston, in town for the filming of "The Greatest Show on Earth," participated in a play reading of "Candida," taking the place of an ill actor.
Tony Award Nominee, Polly Holliday performed in two shows at The Players Theatre before moving on to be a television star playing Flo in the sitcom "Alice."
Sara Inbar, who performed at The Players, earned a part in "Mama Mia" on Broadway.
Sasha Hanna, a talented dancer who appeared in many of The Players musicals, joined the cast of "Cats" on Broadway.
Ashley Rose Orr attended The Players Performing Arts School and went on to Broadway as Gretl in "The Sound of Music."
In celebration of the new Center Stage Capital Campaign, The Players Centre gathered its closest supporters at a London Bay Homes model in The Founders Club. Guests and friends of The Players Centre enjoyed appetizers, drinks and a performance by Kathryn Parks.
The Players Centre will also be keeping a studio in Rosemary Square to maintain their presence in downtown Sarasota.
For additional information on how you can help, or donate, contact Tippy and John Holz, the co-chairs of the $30 million campaign.

The Aken Ferry (), also known as the Steutz Aken Ferry, is a cable ferry across the Elbe river between Aken and Steutz in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Technically, the ferry is a reaction ferry, which is propelled by the current of the water. The ferry is attached to a floating cable which is anchored firmly in the riverbed upstream of the ferry. To operate the ferry, it is angled into the current, causing the force of the current to swing the ferry across the river on the cable.

A ferry was first mentioned in Aken in 1355. The current ferry vessel was built in 1997 and has a load capacity of , with the largest single load being . It can carry up to 12 cars across the Elbe in about 5 minutes.

This past weekend we had an EPIC sleepover + movie night to celebrate the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (out today).
Based on the bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, DreamWorks Animation presents CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE. This outrageous family comedy tells the story of two overly imaginative best friends, George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch), who hypnotize their principal (Ed Helms) into thinking he's the hero from their comic books: Captain Underpants.
We love our family movie nights and this definitely topped them all. To help get the party started, each kid got a fleece blanket, duffle bag, cape, and crafts like Make Your Own Comic Book, color pencils, easy readers, activity book…and I cannot forget the oh-so-popular Whoopee Cushion!
The kids had so much fun getting crafty with these activities. They definitely got them pumped for the movie.
But first, MOVIE SNACKS! Which I kept very simple with chocolate chip cookies, mini concession candies, popcorn mix with M&M's and milk.
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is a fun movie for the whole family to enjoy. If you find potty jokes hilarious (like my boys) then you're gonna love it as much as we do. Other themes included friendship, taking responsibility, and the need for a sense of humor.
Thank you Fox Home Entertainment!

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Great Resignation continues across the U.S., with November now the fifth month in a row of record-breaking numbers of Americans leaving their jobs.
Since July, 21.4 million workers have quit, with 4.5 million in November alone, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's the highest amount so far, an increase over October's quit count, when the number had decreased slightly to 4.2 million from September's 4.4 million.
Tampa to be 2022's hottest housing market, Zillow says
The Job Openings and Labor Turnover report for November 2021 said job openings decreased 10.6 million. Hiring was relatively unchanged, with 6.7 million Americans starting new jobs, compared to 6.3 million separations. Job separations include quits, layoffs, terminations and retirements.
In October, 11.1 million jobs opened and 6.5 million Americans were hired, making the November a slight improvement in the number of new hires.
"Within separations, the quits rate increased to 3.0 percent, matching a series high last seen in September," according to BLS.
The biggest number of quits in November were in the food services industry, followed by health care and social assistance. 159,000 food service workers quit.
BLS said 1.4 million were laid off or discharged in November, in addition to the 4.5 million who quit their jobs. In terms of net employment gains across the U.S., BLS said a gain did, in fact, occur, though it includes workers who may have been hired and separated from employment multiple times during 2021.

"Over the 12 months ending in November 2021, hires totaled 74.5 million and separations totaled 68.7
million, yielding a net employment gain of 5.9 million," BLS said.
The quits data, as it's called by the BLS, comes out ahead of the national job numbers report. National employment and unemployment data, covering December 2021, will come out on Jan. 7. Florida-specific data will be released by the state Department of Economic Opportunity on Jan. 21.

Home » Briefly Noted
Name change for IVMD
In Vivo Medical Diagnostics (IVMD; Inverness, Scotland) reported that the company has officially changed its name to In Veritas Medical Diagnostics. The company's trading symbol, IVVO, changes to IVME immediately.
John Fuller, president and CEO of In Veritas Medical Diagnostics, said, "We take this name from the Latin, which means 'in truth, reality or telling of truth,' more accurately reflects the direction we are taking with the medical diagnostic products which the company is creating."
In Veritas Medical Diagnostics consists of two wholly owned subsidiaries based in the UK, IVMD (UK) Ltd. and Jopejo Ltd. IVMD (UK) is in the final stage of its first medical device for the multibillion-dollar cardiovascular market.
DNA Labs opens
DNA Labs International (Deerfield Beach, Florida) said its grand opening coincided with National DNA Day, the anniversary of the publication of the DNA double helix structure in April 1953.
DNA Labs International combines experience in forensic serology and DNA analysis, use of the latest technology including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), short tandem repeats (STR) and real-time PCR, and forensic DNA fellows to support the criminal justice system and reduce their case backlogs.
As the benefits of DNA testing become more and more evident, the already massive backlogs of unsolved rapes, homicides and property crime cases continue to increase, the company said.
According to a National Forensic Study Report published in 2003, there are more than 500,000 crime cases with possible biological evidence either still in the possession of local law enforcement, or backlogged at forensic laboratories. The report also indicates that more than 80% of DNA evidence is still being sent to state agency labs and only 2.9% is going to private or commercial laboratories.
Filing date reported by SpectRx
SpectRx (Norcross, Georgia) reported it expects to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended Dec. 31, 2004, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before April 30. The delay in filing was precipitated by a later-than-normal start to the year-end audit.
The company said it expects to report a loss of about 28 cents per share more than previously reported due to the write-off of $3.2 million in intangible assets.
As a result of the delay in filing Form 10-KSB, the company's stock symbol has been temporarily changed to SPRXE. The company anticipates that its stock symbol will revert to SPRX after filing the form.
SpectRx is a diabetes management company developing solutions for insulin delivery and glucose monitoring. It markets the SimpleChoice line of diabetes management products, which include insulin pump disposable supplies. SpectRx also plans to develop a consumer device for continuous glucose monitoring.
The company is commercializing its non-invasive cervical cancer detection technology through subsidiary company, Guided Therapeutics, which SpectRx intends to finance separately with private funds.

Interview: Whitehot Magazine
Interview with Jeremy Hutchison
by Becky Hunter
Published in Whitehot Magazine, March 2011.
After producing a wry installation in 2010 in response to one of Tottenham Court Road department store Heal's old advertising slogans, London-based artist Jeremy Hutchison was approached by the company to design for mass production. A friend alerted me to this odd turn of events, describing the institutional-critique-turned-business-opportunity as a "rather fun contradictory muddle." The resulting mix of clean-lined objects, oh-so British phrases ("tea first milk second", "don't blow your soup"), dark Helvetica styling and shop window display made it worth untangling in more depth. Jeremy & I talk about the complexities and contradictions of making art with consumers in mind; his past as a New York ad writer; and the chequered history of exchange between art and design.
Becky Hunter: Your original installation was intended as a critique of Heal's' rather totalitarian 1915 slogan "Nothing Need Be Ugly." How did you uncover this piece of period branding and why did it appeal to you?
Jeremy Hutchison: I was rummaging around in the V&A library - where Heal's store their design archive. Suddenly, this sinister logo popped out. Its rigid lines and cool logic propose a universal aesthetic, a situation of total design. Hmm… that's the stuff of totalitarian regimes. Not only that, it's the precursor of Heal's graphic identity: the black & white palette, the Helvetica type, the euclidean geometry. This all seemed rather fishy… and yet it made sense. Heal's is the home of modernist British design, the showroom of a rationalist utopia. Its design ethic is driven by a specific ideology: the elimination of the subjective, the embrace of the machine. In this modernist vision, the home turns into a superior living mechanism. Or - as Jacques Tati saw it - a space of normalization. So I started to imagine Heal's as the apparatus for a totalitarian regime, and set about designing its iconography. Every product would enforce the codes of Britishness: the language, the table manners, the 'done thing'. Each object would instruct the public how to eat, how to walk, how to sit, how to talk. The British home would become a laboratory for an immaculate population. It seemed like an absurd idea, so I proposed it to Heal's. Curiously enough, they put it into mass-production.
Hunter: What has the process of negotiating boundaries with Heal's been like? How much freedom have you been allowed?
Hutchison: Actually, I didn't try to set up boundaries - these could have become restrictions. My project was sort of the reverse; to inhabit the role of a product designer, trespass into an institution, and embed an idea at the heart of it. I think this gave me more freedom to work invisibly, as an artist. Sometimes I had to divert attention from the connotations of black & white geometric symbols. So I'd bring the focus back to marketing questions: the brand values, the target audience. But I didn't always get away with it; the marketing department asked me to remove 'fascist' from the press release. Mind you, in the same document they describe Heal's as a "well-meaning dictatorship", which I rather like. I imagine every dictatorship starts off well-meaning.
Hunter: There's something a little unsettling about the appropriation of your institutionally critical exhibition into a new product range. How have you dealt with the contradictions, or don't you see it that way?
Hutchison: I think those contradictions are really what this piece is all about. The commercial language of Tottenham Court Road makes our chaotic universe seem uncomfortably tidy. So I wanted to push this Helvetica-bold rhetoric a little too far - until it dissolved into confusion. I wanted to stick a big flashing question mark right between Starbucks and Habitat. When this critique was appropriated - by the very object of its critique - the questions I was asking just seemed to get more interesting. Its like when Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA was used as the soundtrack of Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign. The song was actually about America's spiritual crisis; it was intended as a cry of lost patriotism. But it was very publicly misinterpreted by the Reagan administration. It became a glitch in the smooth workings of the presidential machine. Can a critique remain intact once its assimilated? Does it become more effective? Who's in control of this project? Who's exploiting who? I can't seem to settle on any answers to these questions. Each time I try to pin it down, the whole thing slips on a banana skin.
Hunter: Have you made such slippy work before? Could you talk us through a previous project?
Hutchison: I'm currently working on a project for the SouthBank Centre that operates in a similar space. It takes Evening Standard sandwich boards and invites the public to participate in a confusing mass-media spectacle. For ten days, the SouthBank will be awash with Evening Standard posters. But rather than the typical 'TV SOAP STAR DRUGS SHAME'-type headline, these ones will be ludicrously mundane, written by ordinary passers-by about their everyday lives. If it works, the piece will hover in an awkward mist of interpretations… absurdist intervention? Bungled advertising? Actual news? Dorothea Von Hantelmann talks about celebration as a more sophisticated form of cultural production than critique. She says that 'doing' rather than 'saying' is a better way to reveal the spectacle of our time. This makes sense to me; I'm more interested in becoming entangled in our culture than commenting from the outside.
Hunter: This topsy-turvy process of drawing out something critical or "edgy" from a conservative brand is something that your work as an advertising copywriter must have prepared you for. What shifted you towards fine art?
Hutchison: That's an interesting question. I think capitalism's driven by an internal criticality. It has no loyalty, no respect, no heroes. Watch the Bloomberg ticker: it moves in surprising directions. It's tirelessly precarious, inherently anarchic. So if advertising appears to have this phoney "edginess" etched into its slick surfaces, perhaps this is actually motivated by a true criticality, deep-set at the heart of our economic reality. In many ways, the ad industry's endless revision of consumer culture is good training for the strategies of fine art. You're constantly interrogating the things around you - throwing a lateral slant on existing cultural artefacts. That said, fizzy drinks become rather frustrating subject matter. I was living in New York at the time, where anything's possible. I got a few residencies, a studio, some lucky breaks. I started working with an artist called Paolo Tamburella - he was a huge inspiration.Thankfully, I stopped trying to cram my art practice into after-hours, and opted for a life of tuna sandwiches and intellectual brainfood.
Hunter: So was your entrance into art practice through a sort of apprenticeship rather than formal education?
Hutchison: Not exactly; nothing's been very formal. For a long time I worked in a very solitary way. My practice emerged through a messy collision of linguistics, electronic noise music and a lot of wandering around cities. In 2006, I got involved with Paolo in a project down in New Orleans. Against the backdrop of the post-Katrina devastation, my work hit a wall of questions. So I hopped onto the Slade MA programme to try and figure them out. But during this period, I've come to realise that if I find the answers, my questions probably aren't interesting enough. (I graduate this June.)
Hunter: Is there a different ideas-generating process involved in making an art installation as opposed to ad copy?
Hutchison: Yes, I think so. One's silent and tidy, the other's noisy and really messy. Advertising's a tidy, reductive process. You start with a problem, and you have to whittle it down to a "creative solution". You remove ambiguities, misinterpretations, slippages. You find neat linguistic threads that connect unfamiliar ideas, and then you Photoshop out the flaws, fissures, imperfections. The success of an ad campaign - monitored by a focus group - is judged by the transmission of a message, perfectly intact. It's a bit like holy communion. As an artist, my activity is way messier. I try to find situations that make sense and riddle them with problems. Rather than seeking some silent transferal of meaning, I'm looking to create misunderstanding, mutation, confusion, noise. I think the success of an artwork is in the amount of noise it generates. It definitely shouldn't make sense.
Hunter: There's a history of various exchanges between design, advertising and fine art, from abstract painter Sonia Delaunay's fashion boutique to Tracey Emin's designs for Longchamp and ads for Bombay Sapphire; the transposition of James Rosenquist's billboard painter day job into his art; and magazine designer Barbara Kruger's move into political art layouts. Do you see yourself positioned somewhere in this mix?
Hutchison: I think there's definitely something interesting about making artwork in the realm of the mass-media. When people aren't wearing their art goggles, perhaps they give a more gut-felt response. A few years ago, I visited the Museo de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. A man came in and made the sign of the crucifix on his chest, before gazing at the Diego Rivera murals. I want to break down this reverence between audience and artwork; I don't think it's helpful. But to give you a more direct answer, I'd rather not define my position. I think the job of an artist is to try to do the opposite: to find a place that's hardest to articulate. So rather than designating my cultural niche, I'd like to head for unexplored territory, and keep moving. With any luck, I'll find somewhere really weird.

Home | Features | December 12 | Roy Green: $12,015: The Maximum Allowable Worth of a Canadian Military Veteran's Estate
Roy Green: $12,015: The Maximum Allowable Worth of a Canadian Military Veteran's Estate
We are losing them at the rate of 500 per week. Members of the Greatest Generation and Canadian World War Two veterans. Even now with their numbers dwindling to "a precious few", we cannot encourage or persuade Ottawa to appropriately honour their service to this nation.
For the wonderful Canadians who sacrificed youth and watched their contemporaries die on the field of battle, today's best-case federal government scenario is? Receipt of a monthly Ottawa "Old age Security" cheque. A cheque so spending power challenged these men and women, now in their 80s and 90s, often must choose between adequate nourishment and clothing. The monthly handout slightly north of $1,000 frequently leaves them shivering in the dark on a winter's night.
Old age? Definitely. Security? Definitely not.
Just weeks ago the nation paused to honour WWII military veterans (as well as all others who with bravery and distinction wore the Canadian shoulder patch in places like Korea, the Middle East and Africa). Canada, or most of it, paused for two minutes of reflection on the 11th hour of the 11th day, of the 11th month. Two minutes. That's what the Greatest Generation is afforded.
Sometimes the two minutes are deemed excessive, or the recipients unworthy.
For years I would broadcast my 9am to noon Remembrance Day program on CHML in Hamilton at the cenotaph. We would speak to the survivors of all conflicts engaging the Canadian military, but our focus was on the men and women who beat back the malevolence of Germany and Japan between 1939 and 1945.
We heard their tales of the JUNO Beach landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944. My great friend and surrogate dad Ed Mahoney survived that sixth day of June at JUNO Beach in 1944. He spoke of the frenzy of moving forward, or attempting to, all the while under heavy fire from above, behind and in front. Ed and his comrades were intentional targets of German forces and unintentional victims of friendly fire originating from allied bombers and warships. Ed was 22 years of age at the time. As terrifying as the experience of D-Day proved to be, Ed Mahoney with generosity of spirit so typical of his generation said "I'd do it again".
Ed was 80 when he spoke those words.
It was Ed Mahoney who in a letter asked me "why is it the big-shot politicians who attend Remembrance Day ceremonies are then driven off for a wonderful and expensive taxpayer funded lunch, while we the veterans who fought are sent packing, often without so much as a personal thank you." Why indeed? A few phone calls to a handful of influential and caring people arranged for a post-service Veterans Luncheon to become a significant part of the November 11th ceremonies. The luncheon was also paid for by taxpayers. Voluntary personal and business contributions underwrote expenses, while politicians continued their "big shot" snacks. Their funding? General revenues most likely.
I befriended many World War Two veterans.
Arnold was a Dieppe raid survivor. Of approximately 5,000 troops sent on this testing of German defences raid in August of 1942, 907 lost their lives and 583 were wounded. Arnold walked with some difficulty, a result of Dieppe. While making his way through the Hamilton public library with evident difficulty, Arnold was delaying a clearly impatient and well-dressed individual estimated in his 40s. Arnold turned to the younger man and apologized for his pace, explaining why.
"Too bad. No one forced you to go". And that was that. How often had Arnold been thanked for his military service to Canada? "Not often". Was he surprised at the indifference of the 40-something individual? "No."
Sam Shore was a bravery-medaled veteran so dismayed at Canada's indifferent treatment of its war veterans Sam petitioned the Government of the Netherlands to permit his ashes be interred in Holland where this country's WWII military members are afforded hero status and school children assigned to honourably tend to the graves of Canadian troops killed while fighting to liberate Holland. The Dutch government agreed to accept Sam's ashes and that is where he rests today.
What so irritated Sam Shore?
Consider the system administered by The Last Post, described by Veterans Affairs Canada as "a non-profit corporation whose purpose is to ensure, insofar as possible, that no war veterans, military disability pensioners, or civilians who meet the wartime service eligibility criteria are denied a dignified funeral and burial for lack of sufficient funds. The LPF operates in cooperation with, and is supported financially by Veterans Affairs Canada."
So what does this mean, really? If the deceased veteran has a spouse and/or dependant children the combined net assets of the couple are established, excluding the family home, one vehicle and any income earned during the month of death. The costs of the funeral and burial are then covered by The Last Post Fund of Veterans Affairs Canada; unless net estate assets are deemed to exceed $12,015. Should that prove to be the case funeral and burial expenses remain the responsibility of the deceased's survivors.
Hypothetically then, if a deceased veteran and his/her spouse's net assets are assessed at $20,000 and their financial liabilities assessed at $6,000 (including the costs of the funeral and burial and excluding the family home, one vehicle and any income earned during the month of death), that veteran's funeral is ineligible for full financial support under The Last Post's Fund because the combined net asset value of the deceased veteran and his/her spouse would be $14,000, exceeding the $12,015 maximum permitted by some $1,985.
Letters from widows of WWII veterans inform of a demand of repayment of funeral expenses by Veterans Affairs for their husbands because combined assets at the time of the veteran's death were discovered to have exceeded $12,015, sometimes by just a few hundred dollars.
Meanwhile, a crew of 308 MPs safeguard their outrageously self-serving retirement pensions which can and often do guarantee a defeated or retired former MP a six figure income for life, supplemented by an annual 10 per cent cost of living allowance increase.
On occasion, when public anger reaches the office of a sitting Minister of Veterans Affairs, or even the PMO, the Minister and/or Prime Minister of the day publicly and with what passes for studied determination assure each member of Canada's military has earned a state paid funeral. Shortly thereafter the statement and commitment is forgotten and the intolerable remains the standard.
While a patriotic warrior's funeral expenses are ineligible for financial support if his or her estate exceeds $12,015, former Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe is guaranteed a $140,765 annual pension. Duceppe's mandated annual 10 per cent cost of living adjustment at just over $14,000 alone exceeds the $12,015 maximum lifetime net assets permitted a member of Canada's armed forces requesting a state funded funeral.
Former MP and Speaker of the House Peter Milliken pockets $147,000 annually for life after 23 years in parliament. Liberal Joe Volpe who registered dead people to vote for his party leadership campaign will receive $120,392 each year, while Chuck Strahl, former minister of transport and Conservative MP will struggle mightily at $119,320. Strahl is 55 and should he live to age 80 will have banked $3,305,820.
Members of parliament and their appointed cousins in the senate take wonderful care of their own needs, perceived and real. As far as the remaining living survivors of JUNO Beach June 6, 1944, and indeed anyone who serves or served this nation in uniform and selflessly put his or her life at risk for Canada, your total net estate had best come up about $2,000 short of Gilles Duceppe's annual cost of living allowance; a man whose primary mission in public life was the dissolution of this nation.
There's a word MPs love to hurl across the house at each other. A word which concludes this column perfectly.

Q: Android Services: Bind on demand vs. Bind on #onCreate() We have a Service that takes care of several things in one of our activities. We are fairly new to Android and wondering what the perfect moment for binding to that service is. We only need the service for half of the interactions that are possible via the activity. So we have to settle for one of two possibilities:

*

*bind to the Service when we really need it, which would add a fair amount of overhead implementation-wise

*bind to the Service in the onCreate() method without the overhead of checking if the service is running, binding it on demand, maybe caching requests made etc.

What would be the "android way" here? Is a running service a lot of overhead or should it only be started when really needed? The service itself is really lightweight.

A: Personally I prefer to call bindService() in onCreate(), and after finish using it call unbindService() in onDestroy(). Reason for that is bindService() is actually an asynchronous call. which has not been well-documented in the API. When you call bindService(), the reference of binder object you get inside ServiceConnection.onServiceConnected() callback method is not get instantiated immediately, there is a lag in the meantime after calling bindService() and before binder object get instantiated and ready to use. so the most suitable place to call it is onCreate() as we usually do not preform much heavy operations and need use binder object immediately at this stage.


Ultima Productions/960 Music presents a brand new single from Clement (Project Fame Season 7 Finalist). This one is titled'Ropopo' and was produced by multi-talented songwriter and music producer, Password.
The resilient Ghanaian who never takes 'No' for an answer; evident through his week in, week out performances on the MTN Project Fame Show even with the physical challenges he suffered while on the show is definitely set to take the music industry by storm with 'Ropopo', which happens to be his first official release since finishing as the third runner-up in the competition.

Public service announcement : I am alarmed by the amount of disease symptoms found in the typical text of romance novels. For the health and safety of the hero/heroines, I feel it my duty to alert my author colleagues of potentially life-threatening character conditions and suggest care and management options that all authors can employ.
So without benefit of typing symptoms into WebMD, here goes.
#1) "Her flashing eyes" -- Could be conjunctivitis, bilateral cataracts, or retinoblastoma (RB). Forget that RB is typically fatal by age 5 if untreated and your character is 25. We're not dealing in 100% reality with this romance novel thing anyway, are we?
#4) "Loins tightened"/"bulging loins" (male) -- See reference to gonorrhea above. Inguinal lymphadenopathy, anyone? How about let's raise some awareness for testicular cancer. Anything resembling a mass needs to be evaluated, pronto, and not by the heroine's "tentative, gentle, probing fingers". Come on, she's not a trained professional, unless of course your heroine just so happens to be a urologist. In that case, game on with the probing. If it's part of foreplay, I believe your insurance cannot be charged the medical fee.
#5) "His essence tasted sweet" -- I'm going with diabetes on this one.
#6) "Her essence tasted sweet" -- Yup, yeast infection. Or flavored lubricant. Use clinical judgement.
#7) "A muscle jumped in his jaw" -- Is your burly hero up to date on his tetanus booster? Has he had an encounter with rusty metal or plant materials (sliced by a medieval blade or running through the woods to escape the bad guys)? If you don't get him tetanus immunoglobulin, every muscle in his body, including the diaphragm, will go into spasm and he will die. Awake. Suffocating to death. Opisthotonic. Don't do that to your hero. It's a rotten way to die.
#8) "Her mouth went dry" -- Uh oh. Let's talk xerostomia (pathologically dry mouth). Normally attributed to medications or illicit drug use or salivary gland tumors. Review medication list, perform urine tox screen, or CT the head and neck -- whichever is appropriate to the situation.
#9) "His gut clenched" -- Good grief, this guy's gonna die. Differential includes appendicitis, Crohn's disease, pancreatic cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, exploding prostate, and flatulence, to name a few items. Comprehensive testing is in order.
#10) "Her breath caught" -- Well, dammit, can't anyone remember ABC's of resuscitation? Airway, breathing, circulation. Sounds like mouth-to-mouth (no tongue please, we're professionals here) is a good start. Check for foreign body (again, not with your tongue, dude). Is she allergic? Did she eat a peanut and has anaphylaxis? This calls for emergency medical care with a shot of epi STAT.
Legal disclaimer: None of the information contained herein is intended for use by the untrained author to treat or diagnose their characters' medical conditions. For characters' persistent or life-threatening conditions, please consult an editor for further assistance. If I can save the life (or reproductive organs) of just one fictional character, then this work has been worth it.

Poultry Days parade turns tragic
Rescue workers rush to care for victims of a tractor that surged into the Versailles Poultry Days Grand Parade crowd Saturday, June 14.
VERSAILLES — Laughter and cheers quickly turned to screaming and tears at the Versailles Poultry Days Grand Parade Saturday morning when an antique Ford tractor suddenly lurched out of control and plunged into the crowd lining the streets.
Two children and two adults were seriously injured and were airlifted by CareFlight. The children were taken to Dayton Children's Hospital, where they were treated and released. Their grandparents, Thomas and Kathy Hamilton, were taken to Miami Valley Hospital. Thomas, 64, was listed in fair condition and Kathy, 63, was listed in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon, according to a hospital representative.
The driver of the tractor was not injured, and he was able to drive away on the tractor to clear the scene for emergency vehicles in the immediate aftermath of the crash that took place in front of Fast Insurance Agency and Kaup Pharmacy on Main Street. Police identified the driver as 82-year-old Elbert Wilhelm, of Piqua, who reportedly was a parade regular, having participated for at least 20 years.
"He just told me that it got away from him, it accelerated and he tried to back it off and when he did he just couldn't back it off fast enough. And he swerved and missed the parade vehicle in front of him when he did that, that's when he lost control and went up into the crowd," village patrol officer Frank Maus told WDTN News.
Response was swift as the parade was immediately stopped and paradegoers were told to clear the street to allow emergency vehicles — many of which had been participating in the parade and had just passed by the location — to reach the injured people.
The parade was rerouted up Center Street and resumed while rescue efforts were ongoing. The crash remains under investigation.
