Review of Playing House

Is there anything better than having a best friend? Someone who understands your mild breaks in sanity or can always bring up a great, and often embarrassing, story from when you were younger is great to have around.
That's basically the magic behind the new comedy on USA, "Playing House." The show was created and written by real life best friends Jessica St. Clair ("Bridesmaids") and Lennon Parham ("Accidentally on Purpose"), who also star in the show. That gives the show a chemistry unlike any other.
"Playing House" starts off as the story of childhood best friends who grew up and separated because of work. Emma (St Clair) is a powerful businesswoman in China and Maggie (Parham) is an expecting mother who still lives with her cheating husband in her hometown in Connecticut. Emma returns from China, sees the disarray in Maggie's life, and volunteers to stay and raise the baby with her – just like when they used to "play house" together as kids.
This quick-witted comedy is one of the first to be released on the USA network, which is partly why the show works so well – the network has no specific "comedy viewer" audience. There is now standard to hold the show up to (much like what happens now on ABC – all comedies are held up to the standard of "Modern Family"'s humor and success).
The reason I champion this show so much is because it reminds me of the awkward, quirky, and real relationship I have with my best friend of almost 20 years. This show features specific moments and instances that are based off of the real friendship of the writers. But through their charm, specific detail, and overwhelming chemistry, the show is relatable to almost anyone who is lucky enough to have a best friend.
Lately, I've been in a very nostalgic and reflective mood. I'm constantly remembering old Disney Channel shows like Even Stevens or Disney Channel Original Movies like Phantom of the Megaplex or Zenon and I'm left wondering where the time has gone. The end of my Disney Channel days, because I sadly chose to "grow up," occurred at the beginning of Hannah Montana – the story about an undercover pop star who lives a normal life in secret. With the Hannah Montana gang in mind, I turned to the new comedy on ABC Family, Young & Hungry. This new series features Hannah Montana starlet, Emily Osment. With quick-paced stories and expectedly unexpected situations, I found the show to have the same heart of shows I had grown up with, but with a much more adult sense of humor. I had come for the nostalgia and ultimately stayed for the story. The series' executive producer is Ashley Tisdale of Disney's High School Musical and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Following in suit with nostalgic stars, the show includes Jesse McCartney, Emily Osment, and many others. Young & Hungry focuses on Gabi (Emily Osment), a lower-middle class girl who aspires to be a chef like Julia Child. She has a small apartment in San Francisco that she shares with her best friend Sofia. To follow her dreams, Gabi applies to a job as a personal chef for a young tech inventor, Josh (Jonathan Sadowski, She's the Man). Chaos ensues as Gabi is thrown into a whole new social sphere, dealing with housekeepers (Kym Whitley, That's So Raven), personal assistants (Rex Lee, Zoey 101), and Josh's snooty fiancé, Caroline. Falling in and out of confrontations, love, and disastrous situations, Gabi makes the working life seem so easily enjoyable and reminds the audience that growing up isn't always easy but it sure can be fun.
Take a charming town in Connecticut, add Melissa McCarthy before she was typecast by her role as Megan in Bridesmaids, and throw in a quick-talking, pop-culture addicted, snarky, sassy mother-daughter duo–there you have Gilmore Girls. This show about love, acceptance, and family graced TV screens for seven complete seasons with its quick-wit and charm. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Bunheads), the show followed the story of Lorelai (Lauren Graham, Parenthood) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) – a young mother and daughter who were more best friends or a team than part of a typical family hierarchy. This relationship that I often envied is only made more believable by the immense chemistry that Graham and Bledel have together. Lorelai is a young mother who got pregnant at sixteen and left home to raise her daughter on her own. She began working at the Independence Inn, a small inn in the fictional Stars Hollow, and eventually became manager. Her daughter Rory was named after herself, which Rory explains: "She named me after herself. She was lying in the hospital thinking about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women? She says her feminism just kind of took over. Though personally I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision." (Season 1, Episode 1, Pilot). Aside from the charming allure of the Gilmore Girls, the show also featured a stunning array of characters that gave the small town of Stars Hollow its character, including series regulars like Melissa McCarthy (The Heat), Liza Weil (How to Get Away With Murder), Jared Padalecki (Supernatural), and more. I have to mention again that the show is quick, and this is primarily because the show's actors had to attend speech lessons in order to be able to fit all 80-some pages of an episode into the 45 minutes allotted by the network. On average, an hour-long show usually has a script of about 40-50 pages and Gilmore Girls scripts were known to be around 80 pages. The jokes had to be sharp, the acting and reacting to quips needed to be well-executed, and this is why the show is so enjoyable to watch. It makes the hour-long episodes breeze by instead of dragging on like some are known to do (I'm talking to you, Revenge). The show dealt with teen pregnancy, rejection from family, social expectations, and much more, all while keeping the heavy topics somehow light with sharp humor.

History of Amritsar
A religious abode for the Sikhs and a political power house in the state, the turbulent history of Amritsar is tainted by the memories of several gory battles. Founded in the 14th century by Guru Ram Das, who initiated and spread the teachings of Sikhism in the region, Amritsar has forever ranked high among the most revered cities in Punjab. The place was controlled and managed by the Sikh saints for long until the place was seized by the Mughal rulers. During the rule of the emperor Akbar, the place was said to be relatively peaceful but after his death the city came under severe religious and political tension caused by the following Muslim monarchs. Most of the wars that took place were instigated by the communal differences among the Muslim and the Sikh community. After the destruction of the Muslim rule in Amritsar, the city came under the dominance of the British officials and soon the city saw a lot of developments. However, during the Indian Partition, Amritsar was worst effected by communal violence. Read the article below to know more on the history of Amritsar.
The spiritual heart of the Sikh community, Amritsar is perhaps one of India's most important junctions, connected to the rest of India by the 500 year old Grand Trunk Road on its east and Pakistan through the Wagah Border on its west. In addition to the fabulous Golden Temple, Amritsar's attractions include it roadside dhabas and the spectacle of the daily closing of the India - Pakistan border gate at Attari Wagah Border. Amritsar is a city with tremendous history and one can visit the city with a cheap ticket to Amritsar.
The History of Amritsar can be traced back to the days of the Indus Valley Civilization. A number of archaeological sites have been found in Amritsar and other parts of Punjab. The history of Amritsar in the Vedic period was marked by the existence of a number of Sages and Saints and the legend of Ramayana, which considers the area to be the venue of Rishi Balmikis ashram and the birth place of Lavh and Kush.
The history of Amritsar points out at Greek influence on the region around 326 B.C. when the area came under the control of Alexander. With the defeat of the Greeks, the Mauryas annexed Amritsar, making it a part of their Empire. From the 4th century to the 6th century the history of Amritsar came to be linked with the history of the Gupta Empire. After a short period of rule by the Shahi Dynasty, the area came under the control of Sultan Mahmood of Ghazni. Amritsar's notable history is inter-linked with the birth and growth of Sikhism and the establishment of the Golden Temple starting in the 1500's. Amritsar, which means "Pool of Nectar", derives its name from the Amrit Sarovar, the holy tank that surrounds the Golden Temple.
City's Origin
The history of Amritsar goes back to the year 1574 when the city first came to light. Guru Ram Das, one of the revered Sikh saints, bought the area from the village landlords. He soon made his domicile close to Amrit Sarovar, also known as 'Pool of Immortality' in Amritsar. The lake stands around the famous Golden Temple (also known as Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib) from which the city's name was derived. During this period, the country was dominated by the powerful Mughal clan and historians believe that the place was purchased by Guru Ram Das from Akbar for 500 bighas. He not only laid down the foundation of the city but also was responsible in making Amritsar an important center for Sikhism. With time, many of Guru Ram Das's disciples came to reside in and around the city. The saint also planned to build a temple in the surrounding area that failed to take place. It was his son Guru Arjan Dev who brought forward his father's vision to reality. He not only helped in building the city but also founded other cities such as Taran Taran and Kartarpur. The Darbar Sahib is said to an important structure built during the reign of Guru Arjan Dev.
Muslim Rule
On the political front, the Muslim ruler Jahangir suppressed the city. Men and women were tortured and harassed by the Mughal emperor. Despite the intervention of Sant Mian Mir, he was unable to put a complete stop to their atrocities. Sant Mian Mir, on the other hand, was imprisoned in the Gwalior Fort for a brief period. Although on the political front Amritsar was experiencing a political unrest and instability, the city was developing as religious hub for Sikhism in Punjab. In 1602, Darbar Sahib was complete and four years later the earliest volume of the Guru Granth Sahib, a holy text of the scriptures was established inside the gurudwara. In 1606, when Guru Hargobind became the next Guru after the demise of his father, he was one of the most politically powerful saints. During his time, he earned a name for dealing with matters related to court justly and also encouraged his followers to always be prepared for warfare. Guru Hargobind excelled in a martial art form known as 'Shastarvidya' and maintained his own infantry. Amritsar, under the governance of Guru Hargobind, was attacked by the Mughal Emperors and in the years to come, the city only witnessed a strained relationship with the Muslim rulers.
Afghan Raids
In 1711 Bahadur Shah took over the city by placing Ajit Singh Palit in charge of the administration of the place. After the death of Bahadur Shah, the management of the city was passed on to several hands. Amritsar also faced internal conflicts between the Tat Khalsa and Bandai Khalsa. In 1757, Ahmad Shah Abdali demolished the Darbar Sahib and the Akal Takht that ended in a gory battle between the Afghan army and Baba Deep Singh. Amritsar was under constant raids by the Afghan warriors that led to several thousand deaths of Sikh families. In 1764, Jathedar Gurbaksh Singh and his small army of men defeated the powerful Afghan infantry.
Reconstruction of Amritsar
From 1765 onwards, the city began to actively work on rebuilding its demolished monuments and shrines. During the beginning of the 18th century, the place underwent severe religious turmoil, which in turn brought about political changes. In 1765, the place saw several independent Sikh misls who controlled their respective localities that flourished under their particular heads. In the end of the 18th century, Amritsar became a developed prosperous business centre in the region. In 1799, when Maharaja Ranjit Singh declared himself as the future monarch of Punjab, he merged the place as a sovereign state. In the years to come, Ranjit Singh excelled in the field of military and the state economy. With a flourishing economy, the Maharaja also contributed vast amount of wealth to the Darbar Sahib and other shrines.
After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1846, the British East Indian Company established Amritsar as a part of Lahore Darbar. In 1847, the English court specifically requested all British residents to follow the code of behavior while visiting the Sikh places of worship. From 1858 to 1913, the city under the administrative control of the British, witnessed several modernization plans in the infrastructure and educational sector. In 1919, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre took place in Amritsar. General Reginald Dyer ordered his men to open fire and killed several innocent men, women and children. The massacre was considered to be the worst in Indian history that brings back painful memories to the people of Amritsar. Lahore remained to be the initial capital of the state while Amritsar became a religious seat and an industrial centre.
Indian Independence
During Indian Independence, at the time of Partition in 1947, Amritsar became the battle field for the political difference between the National Congress and Muslim League. After the division, the state of Punjab was split up. Lahore became the capital of the Pakistan and Amritsar became the capital of the newly divided state Punjab. During this period, Amritsar and Lahore experienced the worst communal violence between the Hindu and Muslim communities.
Otherwise like most small and crowded Indian cities, Amritsar is an important destination given the presence of the Golden Temple. However, there is more than just the temple for visitors. Amritsar played an important role in India's freedom. Jallianwala Bagh is the site of the Amritsar Massacre of unarmed Indians by British troops in 1919. In addition, the Indo-Pakistan border at Wagah, just a short distance from Amritsar, with its elaborate change-of-guards drill at the evening gate closing has become a major tourist attraction. A trip to Amritsar will give you an opportunity to explore the authentic beauties of the past as well as the present.

Sleep is absolutely necessary. Everything rejuvenates overnight. Getting a good night of sleep is the only way to replenish your energy levels. If it is hard to get to sleep, these tips can lend a hand.
Set your alarm for an hour ahead of when you have to get up. While this might make you feel groggy at first, it will also help you much better be ready to sleep. This can help you fall asleep quicker at bedtime.
Incorporate exercise in your daily activities. People with sedentary jobs are more likely to be affected by insomnia than those with more physically demanding jobs. Sometimes, it helps to tire your body in order to get your much-needed rest. If nothing else, walk for half an hour each evening.
TIP! Wake up slightly earlier than usual. Adjusting it by about an hour could help you be more ready for sleep at night time.
Don't drink or consume food just before going to bed. Food gets the digestive system working, and liquids can result in the need for a bathroom break at night. Don't eat or drink anything for a minimum of two hours before going to bed. Late nighttime eating is also known to affect your dreams.
Be sure to keep your bedroom nice and comfy so you can sleep well. Noise and light levels must be adjusted properly so that the body is able to relax and sleep naturally. Don't get an alarm clock that has a bright display. Also, a good mattress can help you sleep more soundly.
TIP! Many kinds of food contain tryptophan, a chemical that can help encourage sleep. If you consume foods containing this prior to heading off to bed, you will find that sleep comes easier.
A lot of individuals afflicted with arthritis also suffer insomnia. Arthritis pain can keep you tossing and turning all night. If you are being kept awake by arthritis, relaxation techniques, hot baths, and ibuprofen have all been shown to reduce pain and make it easier to sleep.
Exercise has actually been linked to improving your quality of sleep as well as the duration. However, the time you spend exercising must not be close to bedtime as it could stimulate your body. Be sure you're done exercising about 3 hours prior to bed to avoid it negatively affecting your sleep pattern.
TIP! If your insomnia has been troubling you for several days, you might want to make an appointment with your doctor. Momentary stresses in life often cause insomnia, but medical complications are also sometimes an origin.
Try to keep your fears at bay during the night. Some people find that setting aside a brief period of time each day for mulling over their problems helps with stress-induced sleeplessness. Mornings and afternoons are ideal. Some people just can't get to sleep easily. How about spending some time thinking of those things outside of bedtime. By doing so, you should be able to regain your sleeping hours.
You need a good sleep schedule in order to get adequate sleep. Having a nightly routine each night around the same time, then getting up in the morning around the same time, allows your body to figure out the pattern. Just don't sleep more than eight or nine hours; your sleep is going to be great.
TIP! Hot water bottles are useful in inducing sleep at night. The heat that comes from the water bottle may help the tension get out of your body.
It is important that you have a minimal amount of stress pressing on you before your bedtime. Try one of several relaxation methods before turning in. It is essential that your body and mind can relax if you want to get quality sleep. Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and imagery can help you out.
There is an answer to your sleep problem. This article includes a few solutions that can help but there are always others out there. You'll at some point stumble across the perfect technique for you to beat insomnia; that's the key to a good night's rest.


Is www.news.com.au a scraper site?
They have re-used a Sun newspaper article (with permission) the only difference is that I have full name credit for images they have used, not just Alamy. If it's a genuine site what would be the licence situation?
9 mainly newspaper use so only $ sales.
Ludicrous License - What's going on??
I have all my images PU restricted so would I be right in thinking that this licence couldn't be offered for one of my pictures?
Thanks for the spots this month Bryan.
Not always quickly. At the weekend the live feed can look like a disaster zone for hours.
Shame about the low value for the BW image... but the BBC used some of my archive BW shots, which, like yours are unique... and only paid $ prices.
Shouldn't the watermark be the photographer's name?
The very group who had a competition to see which local rag could get the most free content.
I use the Lightroom Alamy plugin to publish straight from LR and can use the PC for other things whilst it's happening. I did use FTPo it's own before changing to this method and it's way quicker than the web upload.
A quick look around and it's text content seems to be generated by AI, ie 10 best bars in (insert name here, then let the robots find the content) They also use a lot of Flickr CC images.
No update here for me either (UK) and my Alamy LR plugin is showing a higher sales figure than my sales history on my dashboard, so there should be at least one more sale hiding somewhere.
Strange marking someone down for a comment... so I gave a green to balance it. I was only searching that term (in general stock not live news) to see if the consensus was to remove the phrase after the image went into general stock and was surprised at the strange results, that's all. I've downloaded my metadata now and will probably be re-doing all my captions which have the credit at the end.

Q: How do I add Date of birth to DateTime c# I want to add the Date of birth variable
person.Add(new Person { personId = 1, name = "Zandile", surname = "Manatha", dateOfBirth = DateTime(05/30/2015),  department = "Human Resource"});

But DateTime is not working how do I add it correctly.

A: You should write
dateOfBirth = new DateTime(2015, 5, 30)

instead of
dateOfBirth = DateTime(05/30/2015)

because 05/30/2015 performs as arithmetic division and it returns 0.

Quincy Amarikwa and Chris Wondolowski hope to build on chemistry in San Jose Earthquakes season opener
Amarikwa's earned his place in the Quakes staring eleven to start the 2016 MLS season.
By Robert Jonas Mar 6, 2016, 12:50am PST
Share All sharing options for: Quincy Amarikwa and Chris Wondolowski hope to build on chemistry in San Jose Earthquakes season opener
Quincy never quits battling for the ball
One of the turning points in the San Jose Earthquakes 2015 season, one that almost helped the team make the playoffs for the first time since 2012, was the summertime acquisition of forward Quincy Amarikwa. Sent to San Jose from the Chicago Fire in exchange for seldom used defender Ty Harden, Amarikwa made the most of his new surroundings and cemented himself into the Quakes starting line-up from the get go.
The 28-year-old had started his MLS career with the Earthquakes, signing a rookie contract in 2009 following a stand-out four-year college career at U.C. Davis. Amarikwa was dealt to the Colorado Rapids the following season, playing as part of the club's MLS Cup winning team in 2010. After Colorado, he spent time with Toronto FC before going to Chicago, all the while trying to make his mark but never really getting the opportunity to be a consistent started. His homecoming to San Jose last July changed all that, and this past off season, Amarikwa signed a new contract that will keep him with the Quakes for many years to come.
"I've been grinding in this league a long time, and I've been moved around a bit," said Amarikwa to Center Line Soccer this week. "It's rewarding to finally have a coaching staff that put their confidence behind me in the form of a contract, in the form of the compensation, and in the form of a long term deal that will keep me somewhere for a while. That only solidifies my desire to work hard for the club and for the coaching staff and win games and make the playoffs."
Amarikwa scored 6 goals and added 4 assists in 17 appearances, all starts, for the Quakes in 2015. Only Chris Wondolowski scored more goals for San Jose last season, as the Earthquakes offense took a turn for the better when Amarikwa paired up with him at forward.
"He's such a good partner for Chris," said head coach Dominic Kinnear. "You can't rely on Chris getting it done up top alone. There are a lot of tough, physical center backs in this league, and Quincy takes a beating when he's out there. But it opens up some holes for other people, so it was a good pick-up for us last year, and we are glad he's back this year."
In addition to his offensive output, which also included three drawn penalty kicks, Amarikwa took the brunt of the abuse from opposing defenses, finishing in the top-ten in MLS in fouls suffered in 2015. The constant contact took a toll on the 5'9" forward, and he admitted to taking a lot of the off-season off to heal his body ahead of another challenging campaign. However, the physicality is something Amarikwa has never shied away from, and he knows that 2016 is going to bring more of the same.
"I'm in a unique position because I play a hold-up striker role," said Amarikwa. "My job is to hold the ball up and allow time for our offensive players to get into the attack. Obviously, I want to score goals as a forward, but my job is also to get the rest of the team involved as well and create chances for the players around me. That's what I did last year, and that's what I plan to do this year too."
Wondolowski, his partner in the starting line-up to end last season and to start the current campaign when the Earthquakes host the Colorado Rapids on opening day, has nothing but praise for Amarikwa. Known himself as an incredibly passionate player on the pitch, Wondolowski fully appreciates the willingness with which Amarikwa dedicates himself to providing every edge he can to his teammates.
"With his attitude and mentality, he's a bulldog out there," said Wondolowski. "He wants to fight, he wants to battle, and he's also one of the strongest people in the league. I know he's not one of the biggest, but he's very strong out there. He's also very quick and can stretch the field, which is a very nice attribute to have. He is able to help me out and the team around him when he is able to do that."
Amarikwa, who has never been a consistent starter over his seven-year MLS career, will also need to continually prove to the Earthquakes coaching staff that he deserves his place in the Starting XI each and every week. With the likes of Designated Player forward Innocent still making his way back to full fitness following a season-ending knee injury last year, Amarikwa might want to keep one eye over his shoulder. Used to such pressure, he instead plans to keep his focus straight ahead and let his play do the talking.
"I wouldn't say I feel the pressure too much," said Amarikwa about the other talented players on the team looking for minutes. "My entire career as been about trying to break into a position where you find a lot of DPs and big money players starting in front of you, where you have to really perform consistently and at a high level for you to get a look over those guys. If I continue to do what I'm doing, the results will follow, and that will carry on for the rest of the season, and I'm hoping beyond that."
Beyond the 34-game regular season are the MLS Cup playoffs, something that is a major goal for Amarikwa to help the Earthquakes reach in 2016. He knows he can't do it alone, so he will simply go about his business in such a matter that he hopes others will follow. One person in particular is sold on Amarikwa: Wondolowski expects great results out of the partnership between the two at the top of the Quakes formation.
"Quincy is a great player and his work ethic is contagious," said Wondolowski. "I love being able to play with him. We are starting to understand each other's movements offensively, but also defensively, which is very important. The way we go back and go about hunting the ball. It's great to be on the same page as Quincy, and it's great to see him grow and become the player he has become."


Yesterday, my colleague posted a blog regarding the permanency of a Final Restraining Order (FRO) in New Jersey. This caused me to start thinking about the practical difficulties of living with an FRO between parties in situations where they must inevitably still communicate, such as when they have children in common. Many times I will encounter clients that say I need to keep my spouse away from me, but he, or she, is not a bad parent so I do not want to interfere with them seeing the kids.
In cases like these, it often becomes problematic to craft an FRO with enough specificity that a parent is not completely barred from his or her children as a result. Take, for example, the case of State v. S.K., an unpublished Appellate Division case which finally infused some common sense into this type of scenario. The FRO stated that S.K. was barred from "any other place where plaintiff is located." Major problem. This would technically mean that S.K. could never be at any sporting event or school function (i.e. graduations, concerts, award ceremonies) if his ex-spouse was already there. This would trump his ability to attend meaningful activities in his children's lives because the FRO was simply not specific to a particular location.
Fortunately, common sense prevailed and the Court agreed that this was overly broad. While the conduct of parties in an FRO can be barred, such as no harassing communications, the location of the person should not be the focus. The Court stated that "defendant should not be compelled to abandon his lawful presence in a public or other location only because his ex-wife also chooses to be present in the same general location." To find otherwise, the Court recognized would subject Defendant to possible arrest for watching his children play soccer or going to the grocery store.
A properly crafted Order could have avoided all of the confusion and adversity experienced by this Defendant when all S.K. was doing was watching his child play a sport. It is important to discuss all possible scenarios with your attorney so that you know you will be covered in all foreseeable circumstances.

Project 0114 – the partnership project set up with Home Office funding through Dr Alan Billings, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner focussed on tackling child criminal exploitation and associated knife and gun crime across the city is underway.
Sheffield Futures is leading the initiative in conjunction with Sheffield City Council, ACT Sheffield, The Unity Gym Project, St Marks Church, Broomhill, Manor Castle Development Trust, My Life Project, Princes Trust, and Change Grow Live (CGL).
From June onwards, year seven pupils in secondary schools across the city, along with year six children in primary schools in targeted areas, will have six information and skills based sessions focussed on preventing child criminal exploitation and exploring the effects of knife and gun crime. The series of sessions will be co-delivered by youth workers and specially trained young people in schools.
Young people will be provided with information about how they can seek support to move away from serious youth violence and to understand their rights and responsibilities in this area. This element will form a key strand of the new Violent Crime and Organised Criminality (VCOC) strategy in Sheffield.
A second strand to the programme will see youth work activities delivered for young people in targeted areas to provide safe spaces where they can benefit from the strengths and experience of delivery partners, learning new and inspiring arts, music, media and sports skills. The five areas of the city as identified in the VCOC strategy are Broomhall, North East Sheffield, Manor Castle/Arbourthorne, Burngreave/Pitsmoor and Low Edges.
Gail Gibbons, CEO at Sheffield Futures comments, 'Through Project 0114, we hope to equip our children and young people to be able to steer clear of the serious threat that comes from organised crime, child criminal exploitation and the associated violent crime we are unfortunately seeing become more and more frequent across the city. And, in the areas we know are being targeted by criminals intent on exploiting our young people we hope to engage children in inspiring activities and at the same time offer safe spaces where young people can learn and thrive.'
Dr Alan Billings, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner said: "Criminal gangs are targeting younger people, encouraging them to get involved in criminality. Young people, looking for friendship, are drawn into the gang and through the simple task of carrying a package may be taking the first steps towards criminal behaviour.
"We all need to work together in partnership to educate young people and offer early intervention to ensure they understand the risks and can make good decisions – if approached by organised crime gangs."

LMC's revolutionary Air Gap Cleaner provides a new approach to the concept of upstream foreign material removal. Performing foreign material separation early in the cleaning process allows for increased efficiency by downstream processing equipment.
When receiving product, unload time is of the utmost importance. The high capacity LMC Air Gap Cleaner can receive large volumes of product, while simultaneously performing accurate and precise cleaning.
De-twiggers and sandscreens have been used for decades in precleaning applications. The LMC Air Gap Cleaner includes the use of these proven concepts in addition to the namesake "Air Gap" for stone removal and additional screening for loose shelled kernel, field meat, and/or additional sand removal. The inclusion of the "Air Gap" destoner allows for a significant reduction in stone and heavy foreign material volume therefore allowing downstream precision density destoners to perform more accurate separations.
With food safety concerns always increasing, removing the loose-shelled kernels created in the field allows for a concentrated and independent processing line for at-risk product.
Product is fed utilizing a variable speed roll feeder to control flow to the cleaner. The roll feeder enables the operator to easily and accurately adjust product flow to fit any situation.
The stick belt ensures that extruded foreign material maintains a parallel orientation with the four sections of poly screens and avoids reintroduction into the product flow. The quick change poly screens are available in nearly any size enabling optimum separation. Pneumatic lifts are included to provide easy access to the poly screens.
In the aspiration section of the air gap destoner, light foreign material liftings such as leaves, hay, small sticks, and pops are removed as a result of their lower density when compared to that of the acceptable product.
The liftings go to an expansion chamber to allow the reject product to drop out of the air stream. The liftings are conveniently discharged via a screw auger for inspection and can provide insight as to whether or not an air adjustment is necessary.
Screen combinations, along with deck configurations, can be arranged to perform sifting and scalping operations on the same machine. LMC's quick change screens are manufactured in 2-foot sections for easy changing.
Each machine is custom-designed to include a spouting configuration that matches each customer's specific situation. Size, location, and orientation of spouts are some of the many modifications that LMC can incorporate into the machine's design in order to accommodate unique separations or space constraints.
The Air Gap Destoner is designed to lift the acceptable product across the air gap. The heavier foreign material, such as stones, heavy dirt balls, and metal will fall through the air gap and out of the product flow.
LMC's unique ball tray design gives the 2-inch ball used for cleaning screens unprecedented random action, and has proven to be far superior to the woven wire systems found in other machines. All ball trays are manufactured in 2-foot long removable sections for easy clean out when sanitation is a high priority.
It is essential for product to be properly distributed to the screens in order for optimum separation to occur. If the product is too deep, it cannot be adequately presented to the screens for separation. In most cases, the siftings are generally lighter than the desirable product. A deep product flow compounds the sifting process, thus causing the lighter siftings to migrate to the top of the flow as it travels down the vibrating deck. Increased screening area ensures adequate product contact allowing for greater screening efficiency. With this knowledge in mind, LMC manufactures the Air Gap Cleaner in four different widths to ensure that each customer's capacity requirement is met.

Thousands of sites fall to Magecart 'spray and pray' attack
In another case of misconfigured Amazon S3 buckets, attackers will likely make a decent ROI despite low success rate
by: Connor Jones
More than 17,000 domains have been compromised in an attack launched by the prolific hacking group Magecart, according to attack surface management firm RiskIQ.
The attack preys upon websites with leaky Amazon S3 buckets, an attack method seen all too often despite them now being protected by default. The researchers said that anyone with an AWS account could read or write files in the affected buckets.
The attackers scanned the web for misconfigured buckets to see if they had any Javascript files they could download and add their skimming code, overwriting the script on the bucket.
British Airways, Ticketmaster and Newegg hacks part of massive Magecart formjacking campaign
AWS adds default encryption to leaky S3 buckets
What is cyber security?
Magecart was trying to run scripts on websites to glean and make off with payment information that can then be sold on for profit. It wasn't just smaller websites affected by the attack, some of the 17,000+ compromised websites fell into the top 2,000 Alex rankings.
The problem with the attacker's methodology is this type of skimming attacks rarely works on payment pages of websites, which makes the chance of a successful attack low compared to a more considered, targeted approach.
But the Magecart group could still enjoy "a substantial return on investment" due to the range of the attack. "The ease of compromise that comes from finding public S3 buckets means that even if only a fraction of their skimmer injections returns payment data, it will be worth it," said Yonathan Klijnsma, threat researcher at RiskIQ, in a blog post.
"Perhaps most importantly, the widespread nature of this attack illustrates just how easy it is to compromise a vast quantity of websites at once with scripts stored in misconfigured S3 buckets," he added. "Without greater awareness and an increased effort to implement the security controls needed to protect the content stored in these buckets from theft or alteration by malicious attackers, there will be more and more impactful attacks using techniques similar to the ones outlined in this blog."
Exploiting misconfigured Amazon S3 buckets is a common attack method used time and again by opportunistic cyber criminals.
Earlier in the year, Facebook apps Cultura Collectiva and At the Pool became victims of a similar attack, with the cyber criminals making off with 540 million records, including users' names, IDs and comments made through Facebook's social integration.
"Like any other security procedure, security policies are a good mechanism for protecting the access to your S3 Bucket, but it needs to be used the right way," said Boris Cipot, senior security engineer at Synopsys. "It has to be understood, and the user needs to know what they are doing when applying those policies to their buckets.
"Unfortunately, misconfigured policies then can lead to examples like those where the attacker can identify buckets with those misconfigured policies and modify the content on them," he added. "Every user should have a good understanding of what they're doing, but if this is not possible, leave it to professionals that know how to handle security.
"On the other hand it would be nice to see if Amazon could make a policy screening functionality were they could identify such misconfigured policies and warn the user or in some cases even forbid the usage of loose policies."
Other notable examples of devastating attacks made possible by leaky buckets include the leak of data belonging 120 American households by Experian. The NSA, WWE and Accenture also suffered similar attacks.
The future looks bright, however. According to reports, since Amazon enabled encryption for buckets by default, the number of exposed files has plummeted to less than 2,000 whereas the number was in the region of 16 million beforehand.

Nina Ricci heir sentenced for tax evasion
Karin Bosteels
Years of tax evasion have now resulted in a three-year prison sentence, two of which are on probation, and a million dollar fine for 73-year old Arlette Ricci. Nina Ricci's granddaughter is considering appealing the decision.
Inheritance parked in Switzerland for 20 years
A Parisian judge says Arlette Ricci has been "extremely persistent for more than 20 years" in her attempt to keep 18.7 million euro of her father's allowance hidden on a Swiss bank account, safely out of view of the French treasury. Her attempts to use different fiscal schemes to organize her own insolvency also greatly displeased the court.
On top of the three-year sentence and the million dollar fine, the court has seized a Parisian mansion and an estate on Corsica, valued (according to the French media) at some 4 million euro. Margot Vignat, Arlette Ricci's 51-year old daughter, has also been sentenced for tax evasion and has been given a 8-month suspended sentence.
Will probably appeal
Arlette Ricci is the first famous person sentenced based on the infamous SwissLeaks file containing leaked information from the Swiss HSBC bank. The heir was not present at the hearing, but has denied all charges and has maintained her actions were all legal. She feels she is being used as a deterrent, which is why she and her lawyers are considering appealing the decision.
Arlette Ricci is the granddaughter of Maria Nielli, who launched the Nina Ricci fashion house in Paris, back in 1932. She stopped designing in the fifties and passed the reins to her son Robert, who launched the company's perfume branch in 1941 and was the man behind the mythical L'Air Du Temps perfume (1948). His daughter, Arlette, inherited his wealth when he died in 1988.

Q: Creating a shortcut to rename files Every week we get the same 5 excel files. I made a vba macro that copies the data from those files into the main excel sheet. However, in order for the code to work correctly, I call "Workbooks("Workbook1").worksheet("sheet1").Activate, where the Workbook1 file is actually called 2019-5-12_Workbook1 (which is given as that weeks date). All 5 files have this prefix with the date (eg. 2019-5-12_workbook2...etc). I'd like a way to rename all 5 of those files to the ones that don't have the date in front of them.
I've already found a way to mass rename the files using the ren command in cmd, but I want a faster way to rename them all at once using a simple shortcut on my desktop that runs the cmd command. If possible, I'd only have to save the original files to a folder on the desktop, click the shortcut, and have all 5 files renamed from 2019-5-12_Workbook1 to Workbook1, 2019-5-12_Workbook2 to Workbook2, etc, etc.

A: You can save the ren command in a .bat file and run it from your desktop.

Tom Sheehan's Memorial Day letter
Jon Sham 1 Comment The Baltimore Sun Dulaney Valley, Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens, Korean War, memorial, Memorial Day, Pledge of Allegiance, Tom Sheehan, USAF
7 photos, 1 video
As he leads the Pledge of Allegiance at Monday's Memorial Day Ceremony at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens, retired Air Force Capt. Thomas Sheehan will have a special appreciation for the anticipated 1,000 reverent voices joining his.
In 1966, a Memorial Day ceremony in Pennsylvania was so poorly attended that Sheehan wrote a letter to the editor of his local paper decrying the lack of respect for fallen soldiers. Forty-seven years later, the mere thought of it brings him to tears.
"I didn't cry then," Sheehan said. "I was mad."

Serving urban customers better through micro-fulfilment
Robust micro-fulfilment strategies are central to tackling ever-evolving trends in consumer behaviour in our cities.
The shift to working from home and social distancing measures that have accompanied the Covid-19 pandemic has driven people online in a way that few could have anticipated. Increased familiarity with online ordering, and necessity, has ensured more people are making purchases for goods and groceries for home delivery.
Some 39% of global consumers now shop online for things they previously purchased in shops, EY analysts found. But this increased number of transactions and deliveries also presents a heavy logistical burden for businesses.
It has come at a time of greater urbanisation. Recent years have seen more people moving to cities from rural areas around the world. Around two-thirds of the global population will relocate to urban areas by 2050, according to UN data, up from just 30% in 1950.
In fact, around 1.5 million people are moving into urban areas every week, according to PwC, mainly in Africa and Asia, demonstrating how the need for more urban solutions to fulfilment is continuing to grow.
Companies are increasingly turning to micro-fulfilment – the placing of small-scale 'warehouse' facilities in urban locations closer to the end-consumer – to allow them to respond to fast-changing trends in consumer behaviour.
Traditionally, retailers have used manual in-store picking. But operators such as Ocado have fulfilled orders from centralised facilities. The highly changeable Covid-19 lockdown conditions increased the need for scalable and cheaper micro-fulfilment centres. Retailers are increasingly innovating to meet the challenges of the new trading environment.
Competing with Amazon
Although it's difficult for many companies to compete with online retail behemoth Amazon, which is able to offer a range of delivery options to customers, micro-fulfilment centres may help democratise the landscape.
Retailers such as PepsiCo and Walmart in the US have begun experimenting with micro-fulfilment to meet growing online demand during the coronavirus crisis.
Other retailers have adapted to the new conditions by using their own stores or other underused urban spaces as more people have been encouraged to work from home. And property investors are increasingly buying up under-utilised industrial buildings in recognition of the opportunity they represent.
Such 'last-leg' or 'last-mile' warehousing may come at a cost, but more local locations in densely populated areas could be more efficient and convenient for retailers who don't want to be tied to long-term leases for large units.
Micro-fulfilment centres can help address the last-mile issue, making delivery faster and reduce costs with more customers demanding same- or next-day delivery.
The advance of technology is also making micro-fulfilment even easier, as automation is harnessed to reduce delivery times even further and make processes more efficient. There are a growing number of players in the micro-fulfilment technology space that are helping to fulfil orders, whether by through robots or end-to-end services.
Finally, micro-fulfilment centres can offer more localised insights into consumer trends and help retailers plan ahead, helping to make sure that they are well-stocked and prevent shortages.
It's been a challenging time for most retailers and it's underscored the need for fully integrated and highly efficient solutions for their supply chains.
At DP World, we understand how the world is changing and have been investing to help our clients meet the challenges of the modern world.
As one of the leading logistics businesses in the world, we can help facilitate your micro-fulfilment strategy. But that's not all we can do.

Aoba — Japanese Tier VI cruiser.
Aoba represented a further development of Furutaka with main battery guns placed in twin turrets to achieve a longer gun range. Moreover, she outstripped her predecessor in torpedo armament power and AA defense capabilities.
The Aoba isn't really much of a departure from her predecessor the Furutaka. In fact, ever since the addition of the Hull C upgrade to the Furutaka, which gives the Furutaka the exact same loadout as the Aoba, the Aoba's role as a 'seat adjuster' to get you accustomed to the aspects of the Japanese heavy cruiser has become redundant. That being said, if the Furutaka is the seat, then Aoba is still pretty much you sinking into the seat as it solidifies aspects of the Japanese cruisers introduced in the Furutaka. It's still an anti-ship combatant, it's still a skirmisher that specializes in medium to long ranges, it's still a ship that requires other ships to draw fire or to support in order to do well in. It's still a very good vessel to be a captain in, so long as you know her well.
One of the things you will notice is the slightly less responsive(but common to the next two tiers, culminating in the Mogami's superslow 155 mm gun turrets) turrets and improved loading time of 4 seconds at best over her predecessor. Her responsiveness to fluid situations is also vastly improved for a Japanese cruiser. This allows you to be where you are needed and support when it is asked. It is with this that the Aoba can smash tier V light cruisers with ease and be a wary force for other heavy cruisers and battleships but not so much with carriers as her AA suite is sufficient to only defend herself alone.
Her torpedoes are nothing special with the addition of the C hull for Furutaka and the much older 10 km torpedo addition, but, perplexingly, their reload is longer. Unfortunately, the positioning of them at the rear of the ship is a sort of downgrade from the Furutaka. Granted, this makes the Aoba a dangerous ship to chase, but it also makes it more obvious for enemy players to figure out when you launch torpedoes, as the rear mounts require you to turn the ship quite hard. Annoyingly enough, these rear mounted torpedoes also creates a blind spot where you cannot spot friendly ships trying to pass close to you.
It's best that you let the Aoba behave as an anti-ship combatant rather than a solid AA screen. Yet, considering how useless Hydroacoustic search is in detecting destroyers, it's simply better to stick with the Defensive Fire cooldown and use it to at least disrupt enemy torpedo and dive bombers. The Aoba retains the narrow hull of the Furutaka and thus can bow in and expect to not be hit by battleship guns at longer ranges allowing continued fire. Combined with her excellent maneuverability and fast reverse speed of 17 knots holding that head on is rather easy and can still allow to you dodge the occasional torpedo salvo if coming from the front and the rear.
That being said, while the Aoba is an anti-ship combatant, it does not have the armor or the reload speed to engage in prolonged gunnery duels with rapid firing American cruisers such as the equivalent tier Dallas and come out unscathed. It is a threat to equivalent tier cruisers, but like the Furutaka, the Aoba is a skirmisher, good at harassment, great at medium to long ranges at about 8-15 kilometers where it can still use its maneuverability to avoid gunfire, and requires friendly ships to draw fire, or islands to duck behind to give it breathing space.
Additional armor compared to Furutaka.
Rate of fire beats any Japanese heavy cruiser.
Good torpedo range for a heavy cruiser.
Good anti-destroyer and anti-cruiser screen.
Guns beat the equivalent ships of other nations, much better for dealing with cruisers of the equivalent tier.
Fast. It can make 35 knots and has fairly quick acceleration, allowing it to keep up, outrun and support destroyers.
Better turning circle than Furutaka makes it slightly easier to re-position and dodge shells.
Gains Upgrade Slot 4. This is very helpful as Aoba frequently is up-tiered in Tier VIII battles, where battleships get seriously more threatening with better accuracy and of course shell damage.
Retains the same ergonomics as her predecessor such as citadel size.
The armor is thicker, but it's still a Japanese cruiser making it dangerous to go toe to toe in prolonged engagements.
Torpedo tubes have a very limited launching arc. In fact, the rear mounted torpedoes make it obvious to experienced players when you're shooting them and necessitate the ship to show it's broadside to enemies.
Slow speed of the torpedoes.
Deck armor can be smashed even with destroyer guns.
Slower firing rate of guns compared to many equivalent tier cruisers means that while it can still set fires, it will not do so as frequently.
Captains should first research Aoba's second hull for the increase in health and maneuverability it provides. Lastly, captains should research the upgraded Gun Fire Control System to increase the ship's maximum firing range.
The key skills for Aoba are nearly identical to those used on Furutaka. They include Expert Loader at Level 1, Expert Marksman at Level 2, Demolition Expert at Level 3, and Concealment Expert at Level 4. Captains who use the ship's torpedoes often may find Torpedo Armament Expertise useful for reducing the reload time of the launchers. Last Stand is recommended to those who often find their engine or rudder incapacitated. Lastly, Basic Firing Training and Advanced Firing Training can be taken to improve upon the ship's anti-aircraft armament.
Premium version of all consumables are useful to reduce the cooldowns.
Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Aoba with Type 16 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Aoba captains should mount the standard flags to improve the ship's performance in battle. To improve upon the ship's armaments, India X-Ray ( ), Victor Lima ( ), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone ( ) flags are recommended to increase the fire chance and flooding chances respectively. To improve the ship's survivability, captains should mount November Foxtrot ( ) and India Yankee ( ) flags. Sierra Mike ( ) flags are recommended to increase the ship's already high top speed. Lastly, economic and special signal flags can be mounted to improve the ship's economic gains per battle.

El te amb gel és una beguda d'origen britànic o estatunidenc feta a base de te fred, gel i algun tipus d'edulcorant.

Història
L'any 1700 l'explorador i botànic francès André Michaux va portar el te a Occident. A partir de llavors aquest producte va començar a tenir molta popularitat, especialment al Regne Unit i la seva àrea d'influència. Trobem les primeres receptes de te amb gel en receptaris anglesos i estatunidencs (principalment a la zona de Carolina del Sud) durant el .

Tanmateix, la creació del te amb gel s'atribueix popularment a Richard Belchynden, un comerciant estatunidenc que el va presentar a la Fira Mundial de St. Louis de 1904. Aquesta efemèride va suposar un punt d'inflexió en la popularitat i comercialització del producte.

Receptes

Trobem recollida per primera vegada la versió tradicional de la recepta de te amb gel en un receptari de 1879. Consisteix en una mescla de te verd infusionat durant tot un dia al qual s'hi afegeix el gel i dues cullerades de sucre.

La recepta del te fred amb llimona data de 1884 i és una creació de Mary Lincoln, directora de l'Escola de cuina de Boston. En aquest cas es realitza amb te negre fred, gel picat, llimona i dos daus de sucre.

El te fred també s'utilitza en la realització del còctel Regent's punch, fet a base de conyac i creat en honor del regent anglès George IV.

Actualment el podem trobar amb moltes variacions a tots els continents i comercialitzat per diverses marques.

Jessie J At BRIT Awards 2012: "I'm Proud Of Everyone Nominated" - Video
The 'Who You Are' singer says she isn't at the BRITs 2012 to win but to celebrate with her pop music peers.
Jessie J says tonight's BRIT Awards ceremony is not about winning but is about recognizing the high standard of British music at the moment.
The 'Domino' singer says she thinks the BRITs tonight (21st February) at London's O2 Arena is more about celebrating everyone's achievements over the past year.
"At the moment I reckon UK music is at the highest standard it's been in a long, long time," Jessie told Capital's showbiz reporter Kevin Hughes while arriving on the BRITs 2012 red carpet today. "I'm proud of everyone that's been nominated. I'm not here to win I'm here to be an honoured person to be British and be part of the night.
"That's all I've ever dreamed of so winning would be a bonus. And if it's me I'l probably make a really weird speech," Jessie added.
The 'Who You Are' singer described the feeling of attending the BRITs 2012 today alongside friends like Adele and Ed Sheeran as "like the end of the school year". Jessie is up for three awards at tonight's ceremony including Best British Breakthrough.

Logic and Category Theory
Gonzalo E. Reyes
Part of the Synthese Library book series (SYLI, volume 149)
In spite of the title, this paper deals with one aspect only of the interconnections between logic and category theory, namely the dialectics of 'concept' versus 'Variable set' or, more precisely, the connections between model theory and topos theory. The connections between proof theory and category theory have been completely left out and the interested reader is referred to [22], where a full account of the work done in that area may be found. Furthermore, since a survey article on the connections between model theory and topos theory has recently appeared [10], I shall rather concentrate on one particular problem: to formulate rigourously the 'principle' that 'in the infinitely small, every function is linear' (Although this 'principle' was one of the fundamental intuitions that helped to develop calculus in the 17th Century, it did not survive the 'Arithmetization of Analysis' in the 19th and was swept out as hopelessly wrong along with infinitesimals, fluxions, etc.).

Many youth who get into legal troubles have histories of having social anxieties, and seem to derive benefit from becoming engaged in simple, service-oriented social activities, according to a study in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
A team of Ohio-based researchers looked at 195 adolescents aged 14 to 18 who'd been court-referred to residential treatment. "Forty-two percent of youths reported a persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinized in social situations, and 15% met current diagnostic criteria for SAD [Social Anxiety Disorder]," they wrote. These anxieties seemed to be linked to early substance use, traumatic experiences, and incarceration histories.
People want to feel needed and people take comfort and pride from helping others (at least most of them). Engaging in activities that bring out a sense of community and contribute to the well-being of others are among the most rewarding and "anti-depressive" things one can do.


It is true that additional funds to grow your business mean additional debts. This can be very scary to small business owners but waiting for increased sales to fuel your growth may end up costing you way more in lost opportunities. It takes the right kind of money to make money!


Discussion in 'General Electronics Chat' started by Dippo, Jan 9, 2012.
While playing with LTSpice, i figured out that a oscillator for me is the best way to understand electronics and build further from here.
I stumbled upon a schematic in LTSpice what showed me exactly what i wanted.
While i was removing the parameters in this schematic, i found out that one line was/is very important to let everything work correctly.
The .ic directive allows initial conditions for transient analysis to be specified. Node voltages and inductor currents may be specified. A DC solution is performed using the initial conditions as constraints. Note that although inductors are normally treated as short circuits in the DC solution in other SPICE programs, if an initial current is specified, they are treated as infinite-impedance current sources in LTspice.
I've tried many things to replace is .IC statement to get the same result, but it didn't workout.
So, currently i am thinking that this circuit is not working at all, but only works in LTSpice. Is this correct?
An oscillator that requires particular initial conditions to start properly in simulation may also be unreliable in practice. This might be addressed by applying some kind of pulse on switch-on, but personally I distrust this sort of thing: a transient glitch may later "shock" the circuit into protracted malfunction.
Thanks for the reply. I figured out (at-least i think i did) what the parameter means (.IC v(U1i) 1u). It means it needs a load at location U1i in order to work correctly. So, it also means that U1o and U2o can get a load, but it's not possible to put a load on a other spot at the same time.
I put a .01 Ohm resistor parallel with the already existing resistor in order to let it work. I have not checked everything yet, but it looks good so far, and no pulse on switch-on is needed.
The concept of resonance and amplification are two of the key ideas in electrical engineering.
1->The overall gain from output/input is greater than or equal to one.
The circuit you posted works, but barely.
Look up "multivibrator opamp" on google, as well as "integrator" and "inverting/non inverting opamp"
Often, those are put together to build the circuit you're speaking of.
Also, check out "wein bridge oscillator", which gives a great sine wave when built well.
We are talking simulators for the most part. A very close equivlent has been both built and simulated. You should not need to shock this circuit as the square wave and triangle wave op amps form a hysteretic oscillator, which is actually a type of multivibrator. No resonance is present, just RC timing.

HELP with function generator using IC 555 timer! Note, the op amp Schmitt trigger is replace with a 555.
Hi guys, thanks for the reply's.
After surfing the web and reading documentation, i found out that this circuit is named: buffered phase shift oscillator. Is this correct? Because i can't find much information about it. I tried to compare this circuit with other circuits (TI had some good documentation), but nothing comes near.
Also, i have problems to tell what the gain is. The circuit uses 2 power supply's (1 for positive, 1 for negative), the circuit output 3 different types (square, triangle, sine). If i let the circuit run without any errors, the gain is equal to 1 power supply.
The other problem i have, is that this circuit has 3 different types of output (square, triangle, sine), not that it is wrong, because now i can influence each other and i can learn from it. But let say i want to remove the triangle, then the circuit no longer works because triangle is needed to create a sine.
Anyway, the reason to create a function generator is to create a timer for my pic, because timing is still a issue. I can buy a timer chip, but then i can't learn anything about it, and it's also useful in other projects.
I just looked at your circuit again, it wasn't quite what I thought it was.
I went through a similar exercise a long while back, these are my two threads.
This circuit, which is directly equivalent to yours, just wasn't stable, and no amount of tweaking would make it so. It was way too dependent on the specs of the op amp, especially the slew rates.
So I went another route, which worked much better. Another user picked up the ball on a later thread (which I'll post after this link) and worked out a lot of details.
I had fun with it. Guess this makes me a bit odd.
Cool, i never read that post. Thanks!
The Maximum timestep option in LTSpice does not work correct with this circuit. If it's above 0ms, LTSpice shows no errors.
I couldn't increase the squarewave above 800 mv. So i went backwards and lowered the voltage to 1.75 positive/1.75 negative. If you increase the voltage, you see the squarewave get sharper and the sinuswave get bigger.
Also, i think the electron flow must be used instead of the conventional flow.
This design is not ready, but i am currently in a state to say that this is the maximum i can get out of it. If i alter this design to get a bigger triangle, then the sine or the square will/can get corrupt. That's why i asked if it's possible to remove 1 opamp, because there then new possibility's.
I got it working! Thanks to Jony130 i found out what was wrong.
Now i need some good op-amps to test it in real life.
Thanks to Jony130 i found out what was wrong.
In witch place I helped you? Because somehow I can not remember where.
Additional you circuit is not very good.
The capacitors C1, C2 and C3, C5 will work only once. There is now path to discharge current.
And you sine wave is is hard clipping.
Why don't you use this classic circuit ? And if you want low THD sinewave you need to build proper sinewave generator.
Sine wave oscillator produces almost square wave.
