Сислюмадюр (, мн. ч. , ) — должность или звание в Исландии и на Фарерских островах. В Исландии появилась при завоевании Норвегией в 1262—1264 годах. Аналогичная должность уже существовала в Норвегии, и в современном норвежском языке называется sysselmann.

Слово часто переводится как шериф или магистрат.

Сислюмад получал феод, называемый сисла, в котором он отвечал за сбор пошлин, налогов и пеней, соблюдение законов и оборону. Он также проводил суды и назначал присяжных.

Сислюманны в Исландии
Сислюманны традиционно имели большую воинскую дружину, но от этой практики по большей части отказались после 1550 г., когда король Дании послал в Исландию армию, разоружившую большую часть Исландии для предотвращения возможного восстания.

Когда после Второй мировой войны американские военные оказывали помощь Исландской полиции, то сислюманны проводили инструктаж о методах спасения на море, руководили ими и организовали на регулярной основе. Также они проводили обучение этому в местных школах. Данные обязанности были согласованы с Исландской береговой охраной и поисково-спасательным отделением военных сил в 1990-х годах.

До 2014 года в Исландии было 24 сислюманна, которым было поручено управлять в своих сислах полицией, собирать налоги, заключать браки и выдавать различные разрешения и паспорта.

Организационные изменения Национальной полиции Исландии после 2014 года несколько изменили набор задач, возложенных на различных сислюмадюров и сократили их число до 9. Так, сислюмадюр Судурнэса обеспечивает дополнительные неполицейские силы безопасности аэропорта Кеблавик, а сислюмадур Коупавогюра отвечает за выдачу всех исландских паспортов и водительских прав.

Сислюмадуры на Фарерских островах
Сислюмадюр — также должность или звание на Фарерских островах. Сначала было шесть сислюмадюров, по одному на каждую сислу. Однако после полицейской реформы на Фарерах (которые все ещё являются датским владением) осталось всего четыре сислюмадюра и три полицейских округа: Северный, состоящий из северных островов и Эстуроя, Средний, состоящий из Стреймоя, Сандоя, Воара и малых островов Мичинеса, Хестура, Кольтура, Нёльсоя, Скувоя и Стоура-Дуймуна, и Южный, состоящий из Сувуроя и Луйтла-Дуймуна. Датская полиция хотела отказаться от использования термина «сислюмадюр», но это было не так просто, потому что сислюмадюры исполняли задания не только полиции, но и Фарерского правительства, судей и датских верховных комиссионеров.

Одна из задач сислюмадюров на Фарерских островах заключается в том, чтобы решить, должно ли замеченное стадо гриндов быть убито или нет, и если да, то в какую бухту их нужно для этого согнать. Этот вопрос должен решаться совместно с grindaformenn (начальник охоты на гриндов). в принятии этого решения важную роль играют погодные условия, то есть сильные ветра или течения.

В настоящее время на Фарерских островах сислюмадюры относятся к полицейским.

Charles G. Koch wrote an interesting book named The Good Profit. Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries, is an extremely successful entrepreneur. The key takeaways from his book are listed below. Reflect upon them. There is so much wisdom in what he wrote.
Adversity is the key to success.
Adversity is inevitable. How you handle it makes all the difference. Learning how to handle failure and how to grow from it are key to success both in business and in life. Failure has within it the seeds to future success and character building. It's the best teacher of all. Failure and reinvention are the cornerstones of innovation.
Koch believes that, while failure is inevitable, it also needs to be managed to ensure it is not catastrophic. This is why risk management is so important; it scales failure to manageable proportions. Since failure is an important business and personal growth tool, employees should not be penalized for taking appropriately scaled risks.
2. Corporate handouts and tax subsidies obscure the free market and negatively impact the economy.
Good profits require no government intervention such as bailout and tax subsidies. Koch uses Solyndra, a solar panel manufacturer, as an example. The company defaulted on a $535 million provided by the Department of Energy. While the intent behind the loan was good – supporting green energy – the actual loan was not. Solyndra would not have been successful in the free market, and its loan default affected taxpayers and investors alike. This type of propping up bad companies distorts reality and prolongs misbehavior. Let the market push companies to innovate and provide new solutions to meet customer needs.
3. Customers should not be cheated for a profit. Good profit arises from a win-win combination for both the company and the customer.
We should never forget that without customers none of us would be in business. If life is relationship-based, so should business be. I have always advocated creating win-win-win solutions in banking, where the customer, employee and shareholder all win. Making business more than about money is good business, and should have positive impact on the customers' lives. Making a profit while contributing to the customers' well-being is a good thing!
4. A company's vision and mission are the cornerstone of good management.
The Market-Based Management strategy (MBM) begins with the vision of the company. For Koch, for example, the vision was providing competitive products and services that are better than the alternative and efficiently use resources. They strive for profit by benefitting their customers and society as a whole.
The vision is also essential to successful and sustainable companies. It calls for maintaining a core purpose of values that do not change very often, while utilizing strategies that can and do shift to be successful in an ever-changing world. The vision ties these two elements together and creates stability and common purpose while facilitating change – without losing the company's identity.
5. Companies must hire by identifying people with the characteristics that align with their vision. Talent has less to do with technical skills and more with the aptitude and strengths the employees offer.
It is harder (I maintain it's impossible) to teach values and characteristics than skills. Skilled employees with poor values or even values that are simply divergent from the company's are destructive. CareerBuilder found that 41% of its 2012 survey-participating companies experienced a $25K loss per single bad hire; 24% experienced a $50K loss. These negative hires add up, and also sap corporate financial and emotional resources. The same survey found that 60% of the hires were bad because they couldn't fit into the company's culture.
Hiring for values has never been more important, Koch maintains. Koch industries has a complex and thoughtful hiring process, involving multi-interview selection. Koch doesn't hire for long resumes and the "right" schools, but rather for the right value system.
6. Strong, open communication is essential to success.
Companies do best when knowledge is plentiful and accessible. Real-time knowledge sharing is powerful. Joseph Grenny said in his Harvard Business Review article: "You can approximate the effectiveness of the team – or even the entire organization – by measuring the average lag time between when problems are identified and when problems are brought to the open". Many people don't speak up, be it due to deference to authority or fear of reprisal or even just reluctance to rock the boat. But encouraging open communication, especially from front-line people, is the best MIS one can get.
7. One way to improve accountability and results is to make employees feel as though they are responsible for their work and have agency.
Strong companies have employees that are truly invested in their company. If they feel ownership and believe they can make an impact, they will likely take action and contribute more to the company and its shareholders. Employees enjoy autonomy, room to grow, a sense of purpose and a feeling that their work is meaningful and lasting. Given those, they will be most productive for you.
8. Creating thoughtful incentives both in the long and short term as well as financial and nonfinancial ways, where each employee has unlimited potential to earn, motivates employees.
Most existing compensation programs are not motivational and do not promote a sense of ownership and self-reliance by the employees. Too many companies pay bonuses to employees who do not contribute their fair share (Towers Watson estimates the number at 24%). A frightening 18% of companies do not correlate bonus to performance at all. Plus, many pay teams and ignore individual performance. Incentives should reward better performance both short- and long-term, and they should not be solely financial in nature.
9. MBM needs to be adopted wholesale and system-wide to be successful.
Consistency of management philosophy, values and vision are essential to marshal the entire company's resources toward the same direction. It is the ethos that keeps the company together. Management philosophy only works if it is truly adopted from the ground up; it is rarely perfect and requires much trial and error.
I appreciate Koch's management principles and hope you will find them useful as well. My personal view is that, so long as you offer products and services that perform and are priced effectively for both shareholders and customers while rewarding your employees fairly, you will be successful.

Chorley 0 PNE 0
Preston North End were held to a 0-0 draw away to Chorley FC in their first pre-season fixture of the summer.
It means the Jack Kirkland Trophy must be shared for the first time in it's history, with nothing between the two sides this time around.
North End had the best opportunity to win the game through a Joe Garner penalty. The referee pointed to the spot after the PNE striker clashed with Chorley 'keeper Sam Ashton with 20 minutes to play.
Garner stepped up but his powerful effort into the top corner bounced off the underside of the bar and out, before being cleared by the Chorley defence.
The opening exchanges of the first half were typical of a pre-season friendly but as the first half progressed, the tempo increased and North End piled the pressure on to the hosts.
It was Andy Little with the first real chance of the game on five minutes after Neil Kilkenny found the Northern Irishman with a great ball from the middle of the park, but it was just ahead of Little and out for a goalkick.
Shortly after it was almost a dream start for on loan striker Will Keane, Jermaine Beckford played the ball to his fellow striker after some superb passing play from North End, but Keane was just beaten to the ball by Chorley 'keeper Sam Ashton.
PNE continued to put pressure on Matt Jansen's side and by the ten-minute mark, Beckford, Kyel Reid and Little all had chances to put Simon Grayson's side ahead.
On ten minutes came Chorley's best chance of the game so far, Danny Ventre with a fierce strike from outside the box, and he forces a fantastic save from Jamie Jones.
The PNE fans were given a glimpse of what to expect from new signing Will Keane, despite being dragged down by a Chorley defender, the striker battled for the ball and played in Kyel Reid who fired at goal but was denied by a fantastic save by Ashton in the Chorley goal.
Chorley withstood the pressure and created chances of their own, the best coming from Harry Winter, who's curling effort may have troubled Jones in the PNE goal but it sails just wide of the post.
It was soon North End's turn to attack once again, with Jordan Hugill causing all sorts of problems for the Chorley defence. Little was the provider on two occasions, Hugill was unable to get an effort on target.
Jermaine Beckford me a John Welsh cross shortly after with ten minutes of the first half to play but it lacked the power to trouble Ashton. The striker made up for that soon after with a powerful header at goal but the Chorley 'keeper denied him with a fine save.
The hosts had a chance to go ahead through James Dean just before the break but it flies wide.
Just before the break, it was Keane again with a chance to get his first goal for North End. The initial shot was miss hit by the 22-year-old but he recovered well, turning to get a powerful shot away, it's on target but deflected for a corner.
The second half saw wholesale changes for North End with manager Simon Grayson bring on a completely new eleven for the second period.
Chorley made nine changes themselves, but as is permitted with pre-season friendlies, players can return to the field in the second half.
The second period started much like the first with little in the way of clear cut chances, but arguably the first real chance of the half fell to the hosts.
A fantastic cross by Adam Dodd to Jake Cottrell inside the 18-yard-box, and the Chorley man was one-on-one with jones but the PNE 'keeper did well and gathers the ball.
Soon after, Alan Browne pulled the trigger from the edge of the box with a powerful strike but the Chorley defence stood strong to block the midfielder's shot.
It was Chorley on the attack again through Aaron Burns, who found himself in space in the area and it would have been a sure goal but for a brilliant save from Jamie Jones.
That was to be last of the action for the North End 'keeper who was replaced on the 70 minute mark by youngster Steven James, as was planned from before kick-off.
Just a few minutes later, all the action was at the other end of the pitch as Joe Garner clashed with Chorley 'keeper Ashton and the referee awarded North End a penalty.
It was Garner who stepped up and aimed for the top corner, but the ball fired off the underside of the cross bar and bounced out to deny last season's top goalscorer.
The game seemed to liven up after that with both sides looking to break the deadlock with less than twenty minutes to play.
Chorley made a double change on 75 minutes with Andy Teague and Paul Jarvis returning to the field in place of Danny Ventre and Adam Dodd.
A speculative effort from Joe garner almost saw PNE take the lead, the striker trying an overhead kick form inside the six-yard box but he saw his effort go behind for a goal kick.
Daniel Johnson had a chance to win it for North End with just five minutes to play, his dipping shot from range only just over the cross bar.
Just before the final whistle went, Tom Smyth was replaced by Mark Ross.
The game ended goalless and North End were unable to retain the Jack Kirkland trophy, but it was certainly a good test for the boys in their first pre-season tie.
Chorley line-up (first half): Ashton, Ross, Dodd, Teague, Charnock, Sheridan, Hine, Winter, Dean, Ventre, Jarvis.
Chorley line-up (second half): Ashton, Ventre (Jarvis, 75), Dodd (Teague, 75), Flynn, Smyth (Ross, 90), Cottrell, Lynch, Whitham, Burns, Dorney, Almond.
PNE line-up (first half): Jones, Clarke, Davies, Wright, Kilkenny, Welsh, Little, Reid, Hugill, Keane, Beckford.
PNE line up (second half): Jones (James, 70), Woods, Huntington, Anderton, Heaton, Browne, Brownhill, Gallagher, Johnson, Garner, Ryan.

Storm to Hit 600 Miles of Atlantic Coast through the Weekend
Wednesday, Sep. 23rd, 2015
by Jessica Donnel
ATLANTIC COAST - A storm over the Atlantic Ocean will bring heavy rains and gusty winds to part of the eastern coast of the United States this week, and last all the way through the weekend.
The storm will cause problems at the coast and could lead to shipping delays to parts of the Interstate 85 and 95 corridors, AccuWeather is reporting.
Rain is expected to affect areas from Florida to southern Virginia through Friday, where most cities will get rainfall in the amount of 1-3 inches. During Friday into Saturday, the storm will likely expand northward through Virginia and into New Jersey, AccuWeather says.
Even Pope Francis may get rained on come Sunday during a speech in Philadelphia, The Washington Post warns.
According to The Weather Channel, the current rainfall forecast through Sunday is:
Philadelphia, PE: <1''
Washington, DC: <1''
Norfolk, VA: <1''
Raleigh, NC: 2-3''
Charlotte, NC: 1-2''
Wilmington, NC: 5-8''
Charleston, SC: <1''
Savannah, GA: <1''

After three days of sweating through visits to the towns and villages of Upper Egypt with a Coptic charity and spending two nights in some of the dirtiest hotels I have ever seen, one of the first things I wanted to do when I got home was have a hot bubble bath. Once I did, though, I couldn't stop thinking about this woman, who has probably never had the luxury of soaking in a bath in her life and probably never will. Along with her daughters, she shared her crumbling home with a small buffalo, a cow and countless roosters, hens and ducks. The stench of urine was overwhelming. She answered our questions about her finances, her daughters' educations and much else stoically but tersely. She clearly would have preferred we hadn't been there intruding into the details of her life, but as the charity was going to build her a new home, she suffered resolutely though our inquiries. She is getting a new house, but there is so, so much more that she and everyone in her village and countless others just like it still need.
I'll write a lengthier account of the trip in the week to come.

Port Ellen 40 Years Old joins Untold Stories
May 26, 2020 by Melita Kiely
Diageo has unveiled the second limited edition whisky in the Port Ellen Untold Stories series – Port Ellen 40 Years Old.
Only 1,380 bottles of the 40-year-old single malt will be made available globally from specialist retailers, priced at RRP £6,500 (US$7,942) per 700ml. The whisky has been bottled at cask strength, 50.9% ABV. The Port Ellen 40 Years Old was created out of nine 'rogue' casks. It was unveiled at the first virtual edition of the Fèis Ìle festival, which included an online whisky tasting led by future Port Ellen master distiller Georgie Crawford. Today's master blender, Dr Craig Wilson, selected the nine casks to create the 40-year-old bottling, which comprised four American oak hogsheads and five European oak butts. Tasting notes include aromas of burnt tangerine skin, mild smoke, roasted coffee and ripe peach skin. The palate is said to have "much more pronounced" bonfire smoke, pipe tobacco, leather and wood spice, leading to a long, wispy smoke finish. Diageo will donate 20 signed bottles, including the 40-year-old Port Ellen and bottles from Islay distilleries Lagavulin and Caol Ila, to the Islay Fèis Ìle Committee. The 20 bottles are worth a combined value of £10,000, which will go towards supporting fundraising activities to support for Islay-based charities and community groups. Diageo was granted planning permission to restore its silent Port Ellen distillery on Islay in January this year and intends to recreate the original spirit and 'alternative' whisky styles. Islay's Fèis Ìle 2020 was cancelled in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

SIST EN 60404-15:2013
Magnetic materials - Part 15: Methods for the determination of the relative magnetic permeability of feebly magnetic materials
This part of IEC 60404 specifies a solenoid method, a magnetic moment method, a magnetic balance method and a permeability meter method for the determination of the relative magnetic permeability of feebly magnetic materials (including austenitic stainless steel). The magnetic balance and permeability meter methods are both comparison methods calibrated using reference materials to determine the value of the relative magnetic permeability of the test specimen. The relative magnetic permeability range for each of these methods is shown in Table 1. The methods given are for applied magnetic field strengths of between 5 kA/m and 100 kA/m. The solenoid method is the reference method. The magnetic moment method described is used mainly for the measurement of the relative magnetic permeability of mass standards. Two comparator methods used by industry are described. These can be calibrated using reference materials for which the relative magnetic permeability has been determined using the reference method. When suitable, the magnetic moment method can also be used. The dimensions of the reference material need to be given careful consideration when determining the uncertainty in the calibration value due to self-demagnetization effects. See Annex A for more information on correcting for self-demagnetization.

La CEI 60404-15:2012 spécifie une méthode utilisant un solénoïde, une méthode utilisant le moment magnétique, une méthode utilisant une balance magnétique et une méthode utilisant un appareil de mesure de la perméabilité pour déterminer la perméabilité magnétique relative des matériaux faiblement magnétiques (y compris l'acier inoxydable austénitique). La méthode utilisant une balance magnétique et la méthode utilisant un appareil de mesure de la perméabilité sont toutes les deux des méthodes de comparaison étalonnées utilisant des matériaux de référence en vue de déterminer la valeur de la perméabilité magnétique relative de l'éprouvette.
Magnetni materiali - 15. del: Metode za ugotavljanje relativne magnetne permeabilnosti mehkomagnetnih materialov
Ta del standarda IEC 60404 določa elektromagnetno metodo, metodo magnetnega momenta, metodo magnetnega ravnotežja in metodo z merilnikom permeabilnosti za ugotavljanje relativne magnetne permeabilnosti mehkomagnetnih materialov (vključno z avstenitnim nerjavnim jeklom). Metodi z magnetnim ravnotežjem in merilnikom permeabilnosti sta primerjalni metodi, umerjeni z referenčnimi materiali, da se določi vrednost relativne magnetne permeabilnosti preskusnega vzorca. Razpon relativne magnetne permeabilnosti za posamezno metodo je naveden v preglednici 1. Navedene metode se uporabljajo pri magnetni poljski jakosti od 5 kA/m do 100 kA/m. Elektromagnetna metoda je referenčna metoda. Opisana metoda magnetnega momenta se uporablja predvsem za merjenje relativne magnetne permeabilnosti masnih standardov. Opisani sta primerjalni metodi, ki se uporabljata v industriji. Ti metodi se lahko umerita z referenčnimi materiali, katerih relativna magnetna permeabilnost je bila ugotovljena z referenčno metodo. Kadar je primerno, se lahko uporabi tudi metoda magnetnega momenta. Mere referenčnega materiala je treba zaradi učinkov razmagnetenja natančno upoštevati pri določanju negotovosti vrednosti za umerjanje. Za več informacij o popravljanju zaradi razmagnetenja glej dodatek A.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
Part 15: Methods for the determination of the relative
magnetic permeability of feebly magnetic materials
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

The determination of the relative magnetic permeability of feebly magnetic materials is often
required to assess their effect on the ambient magnetic field. Typical feebly magnetic
materials are austenitic stainless steels and "non-magnetic" brass.
The relative magnetic permeability of some of these materials can vary significantly with the
applied magnetic field strength. In the majority of cases, these materials find application in the
ambient earth's magnetic field. This field in Europe is 35 A/m to 40 A/m, in the far East, it is
25 A/m to 35 A/m and in North America, it is 25 A/m to 35 A/m. However, at present, methods
of measurement are not available to determine the relative magnetic permeability of feebly
magnetic materials at such a low value of magnetic field strength.
Studies of the properties of feebly magnetic materials have been carried out, primarily with a
view to the production of improved reference materials. These studies have shown [1] that it
is possible to produce reference materials which have a substantially constant relative
magnetic permeability over the range from the earth's magnetic field to at least a magnetic
field strength of 100 kA/m.
Since conventional metallic materials can also be used as reference materials their relative
magnetic permeability can be determined using the reference method. It is important that the
magnetic field strength used during the determination of the relative magnetic permeability is
stated for all materials but in particular for conventional materials since the changes with
applied magnetic field can be large. This behaviour also needs to be considered when using
reference materials made from conventional materials to calibrate comparator methods. This
is because these methods use magnetic fields that vary through the volume of the material
being tested and this makes it difficult to know the relative magnetic permeability to use for
the calibration.
Where the effect of a feebly magnetic material on the ambient earth's magnetic field is critical,
the direct measurement of this effect using a sensitive magnetometer should be considered.
Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography.
This part of IEC 60404 specifies a solenoid method, a magnetic moment method, a magnetic
balance method and a permeability meter method for the determination of the relative
magnetic permeability of feebly magnetic materials (including austenitic stainless steel). The
magnetic balance and permeability meter methods are both comparison methods calibrated
using reference materials to determine the value of the relative magnetic permeability of the
test specimen. The relative magnetic permeability range for each of these methods is shown
in Table 1. The methods given are for applied magnetic field strengths of between 5 kA/m and
100 kA/m.
Table 1 – Relative magnetic permeability ranges for the methods described
Measurement method Relative magnetic permeability range
Solenoid 1,003 to 2
Magnetic moment 1,003 to 1,2
Magnetic balance 1,003 to 5
Permeability meter 1,003 to 2
NOTE 1 The relative magnetic permeability range given for the magnetic balance method covers the inserts
provided with a typical instrument. These can only be assessed at values for which calibrated reference materials
exist.
NOTE 2 For a relative magnetic permeability larger than 2, a reference material cannot be calibrated using this
written standard. A note of this is given in the test report explaining that the values measured using the magnetic
balance are for indication only.
The solenoid method is the reference method. The magnetic moment method described is
used mainly for the measurement of the relative magnetic permeability of mass standards.
Two comparator methods used by industry are described. These can be calibrated using
reference materials for which the relative magnetic permeability has been determined using
the reference method. When suitable, the magnetic moment method can also be used. The
dimensions of the reference material need to be given careful consideration when determining
the uncertainty in the calibration value due to self-demagnetization effects. See Annex A for
more information on correcting for self-demagnetization.

4 Solenoid and magnetic moment method
The methods that are described in Clause 4 are reference methods for determining the
relative magnetic permeability of test specimens of feebly magnetic materials with a length to
diameter ratio of at least 10:1. When the relative magnetic permeability is less than 1,2, it is
possible to use a moment detection coil and a test specimen with a length to diameter ratio of
1:1. Both methods use similar equipment and involve similar calculations to determine the
relative magnetic permeability. The descriptions of both methods are therefore presented
together here with significant differences explained in the text.
4.2 Principle
The relative magnetic permeability of a feebly magnetic test specimen is determined from the
magnetic polarization J and the corresponding magnetic field strength H measured using the
circuit shown in Figure 1, using
= 1+
μ is the relative magnetic permeability of the test specimen (ratio);
μ is the magnetic constant (4π × 10 ) (in H/m);
J is the magnetic polarization (in T);
H is the magnetic field strength (as calculated from the magnetizing current and the
magnetic field strength to current ratio (known as the coil constant) for the solenoid)
(in A/m).

NOTE In Figure 1, the search coil N is replaced by a moment detection coil for the magnetic moment method.
4.3 Apparatus
4.3.1 Solenoid. The solenoid shall have a length to diameter ratio of not less than 10:1 or, in
the case of lower length, it shall contain coaxial supplementary coils at the ends or it shall
consist of a split pair coil system (Garrett [2]). The last two coil systems shall yield at least the
same degree of field homogeneity in the centre as is obtained with the long solenoid. The
coils shall be wound on non-magnetic, non-conducting formers. The winding shall have a
sufficient number of turns of wire to be capable of carrying a current that will produce a
magnetic field strength of 100 kA/m. The magnetic field to current ratio of the solenoid (known
as the coil constant) shall be determined with an uncertainty of ± 0,5 % or better, either by an
independent calibration or alternatively by measuring the magnetic field strength by means of
a calibrated Hall effect probe and by measuring the corresponding magnetizing current (using
the method described in 4.3.5).
NOTE 1 More than one solenoid (or split pair coil system) may be required to cover the complete range of
magnetic field strength.
NOTE 2 The optimal diameter of the solenoid depends upon the diameter of test specimens to be measured and
the sensitivity of the measurement. For measurements on bars up to 30 mm in diameter having a relative magnetic
permeability of 1,005, the internal diameter of the solenoid would be approximately 80 mm to accommodate the
requisite search coil.
4.3.2 Search coil. The search coil shall be wound on a non-magnetic, non-conducting former.
Typically, for test specimens up to 30 mm in diameter, the internal diameter of the aperture in
the search coil is 32 mm to allow test specimens to be freely inserted and withdrawn. The
length of the winding shall be 40 mm; end cheeks of between 75 mm and 80 mm diameter
shall be fitted to the former. The winding can be, for example, 10 000 turns of 0,2 mm
diameter insulated wire with interleaving as necessary.
NOTE The winding may be tapped at intervals to facilitate the adjustment of the sensitivity of the measuring
system when determining the relative magnetic permeability of test specimens in the higher part of the permeability
range.
4.3.3 For much shorter solid right cylinders with a length to diameter ratio of 1:1, a moment
detection coil with a homogeneous sensitivity over the volume of the test specimen shall be
used for measuring the magnetic dipole moment of the cylinder (see Figure 2). The magnetic
polarization is calculated from
J= (2)
j is the magnetic dipole moment (in Wbm);
V is the volume of the test specimen (in m ).
The moment detection coil can be a solenoid with additional homogenizing windings close to
the ends of the coil.
Moment detection coil
Compensation coil
Magnetizing solenoid
Figure 2 – Coil system for the determination
of the magnetic dipole moment
The measurement of the magnetic moment of short cylinders with a length to diameter ratio of
1:1 shall be restricted to materials having a relative permeability smaller than μ = 1,2. If this
condition is not met, the magnetic field strength inside the test specimen and the polarization
become inhomogeneous and this will produce significant errors in the measured relative
magnetic permeability.
In the region μ = 1,003 to 1,2, a linear correction for the effect of the self-demagnetizing field
is appropriate. See Annex A for more information.
NOTE Typically, weight pieces of the classes E , E and F according to OIML R111-1 (2004) [3] fall into this
For this correction, equation (A.2) of Annex A is to be used together with the value of the
magnetometric self-demagnetization factor N as obtained from reference [6].
For example, for a cylindrical sample with a 1:1 aspect ratio, values of the relative correction
to the applied magnetic field for different relative magnetic permeabilities due to self-
demagnetization are given in Table 2.

1,007 0,311 4 0,22 %
1,2 0,309 3 6,2 %
ΔH/H is the relative correction of the magnetic field strength and N is the magnetometric
self-demagnetization factor.
This is discussed in more detail in Annex A.
4.3.4 Flux integrator. The flux integrator shall be an electronic charge integrator or similar
device, calibrated with an uncertainty of ± 0,5 % or better.
4.3.5 Current measuring device. The current measuring device shall consist of a calibrated
resistor connected in series with the magnetizing circuit and a calibrated digital voltmeter.
The magnetizing current shall be determined from the measurement of the voltage developed
across the resistor. The combined uncertainties of the resistor and voltmeter shall be such
that the magnetizing current can be determined with an uncertainty of ± 0,2 % or better.
Alternatively, an ammeter calibrated with an equivalent uncertainty can be used.
4.3.6 Micrometer. The micrometer for measuring the transverse dimensions of the test
specimen for the solenoid method shall be calibrated. For the magnetic moment method, the
volume is required and appropriate dimensional measurements shall be made.
4.4 Test specimen for the solenoid method
The test specimen shall consist of a round or rectangular bar, or a number of strips or wires
having a total cross-sectional area of at least 100 mm . The maximum cross-sectional area
shall be determined by the diameter of the central aperture of the search coil. Allowance shall
be made for the easy insertion and withdrawal of the test specimen without disturbing the
position of the search coil.
To avoid significant errors introduced by self-demagnetization, the length to equivalent
diameter ratio of the test specimen shall be not less than 10:1. When corrections for self-
demagnetization are required see Annex A.
For example, values are given in Table 3 for a rod of circular cross section with an aspect
ratio of 10:1, a diameter of 30 mm and a search coil with an effective average diameter of
52,2 mm. The relative corrections to the applied magnetic field strength and the magnetic
polarization for different relative magnetic permeabilities due to self-demagnetization are
shown.

Real Madrid reach third straight Champions League final
Aside May 3, 2018 TAUQEER RIAZ
MADRID: Last time, it was a late penalty. This time, a goalkeeping blunder.
Real Madrid keep finding ways to get out of trouble in the Champions League.
Real conceded early again at home and barely held on for a draw 2-2 against Bayern in Tuesday's semi-final match, advancing 4-3 on aggregate to stay on track for a third consecutive European title. But with Cristiano Ronaldo held scoreless for the second time in as many games, Real needed a blunder from Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich to gift them their second and crucial goal on the night.
"It's a Champions League semi-final. You will always suffer," Real coach Zinedine Zidane said. "Nothing is easy. Football is like that, you have to suffer. And when you win, it feels even better, although it's not too good for your heart."
Joshua Kimmich scored for Bayern in the third minute to set the stage for another comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu, like the one Juventus nearly pulled off in the quarter-finals before Ronaldo converted an injury-time penalty. But the hosts reacted quicker this time, with Karim Benzema equalising early in the first half and scoring again just after halftime after an embarrassing mistake by Ulreich when he allowed a back pass into the area to go underneath him.
Bayern went within a goal of eliminating the European champions when former Real player James Rodriguez scored in the 63rd, and it pressured the hosts until the end, but it was not enough to avoid a third straight elimination against the Spanish club.
"We were the best team in both games but we were not able to reach the final," Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes said. "We dominated. They should thank (goalkeeper Keylor) Navas for his performance, especially toward the end of the match."
The German club, who have now been knocked out in the Champions League semi-finals in four of the last five seasons, had several good chances in the final minutes but were unable to capitalise.
By successfully defending their 2-1 win from last week, Real stayed on track for a third consecutive European title, and fourth in five seasons.
Europe's most successful club with 12 trophies, Real will play the final against either Liverpool or Roma.
"It was a crazy match," Zidane said. "We struggled in the beginning, conceding early and not being able to play our game. But it was a lot better in the second half. We pressed up front and got the second goal."
Bayern started well and easily created scoring chances, while Real tried to control possession but only threatened on counterattacks with the speed of Ronaldo and Marco Asensio up front.
Kimmich netted from inside the area after Real captain Sergio Ramos failed to clear a ball crossed into the area by Corentin Tolisso.
It was an eerily similar start to Real's match against Juventus, when they conceded in the second minute while trying to protect a 3-0 first-leg advantage. Real conceded twice more in that game but eventually advanced thanks to Ronaldo's injury-time penalty.
This time, Real reacted a lot more quickly, with Benzema equalising in the 11th with a firm header after a well-placed cross from the left by Marcelo.
Benzema hasn't been playing regularly as a starter and was a surprise addition to the line-up by Zidane. He had scored only once in his last 12 appearances in all competitions.
"It was a perfect night for me and for everyone," Benzema said.
The French striker gave Real a 2-1 lead after Ulreich's howler. The goalkeeper appeared to lose his footing while trying to get to the ball and seemed to hesitate to stop it with his hands before missing it entirely as he went to the ground. That allowed Benzema to run onto the ball for an easy finish into an open net.

"It was tough to concede that goal so early in the second half," Heynckes said. "It was a gift."
Bayern weren't done yet and Rodriguez equalised with a low shot from inside the area. The Colombian playmaker didn't celebrate, instead raising his hands in an almost apologetic gesture to the home fans.
Bayern unsuccessfully appealed for a handball by Marcelo just before halftime, when the Real defender appeared to be just inside the area.
"I'd be lying if I said the ball didn't touch my hand," the Brazilian left back said. "And if it touched my hand, I think it was (a penalty)."
Meanwhile Robert Lewandowski continued to struggle up front, as he went a fifth straight Champions League game without a goal for the first time in his career.
Real, playing in their 250th Champions League match, are the first team to make it to three European finals in a row since Juventus from 1996-98.

A load cell is a transducer that converts an input force into a measurable electrical output. Load cells are built with different force measurement devices; however, strain gage load cells are the most common choice.
Strain gages convert mechanical motion into an electronic signal. A change in resistance is proportional to the strain experienced by the sensor. If a wire is held under tension, it gets slightly longer and its cross-sectional area is reduced. This changes its resistance (R) in proportion to the strain sensitivity of the wire's resistance. When a strain is introduced, the strain sensitivity, which is also called the gage factor (GF), is given by:
GF = (ΔR / R) / ε
Strain gauge-based load cells measure material movement when the material of the load cells deforms appropriately. The gages are bonded onto a beam or structural member that deforms when weight is applied. The change in resistance of the strain gauge provides an electrical value change that is calibrated to the load placed on the load cell.
In most cases, four strain gauges (in a full Wheatstone bridge configuration) are used to obtain maximum sensitivity and temperature compensation. Two of the gauges are placed in tension (T1 and T2), and two in compression (C1 and C2), and are wired with compensation adjustments. Gages are mounted in areas that exhibit strain in compression or tension. When weight is applied to the load cell, gauges C1 and C2 compress decreasing their resistances. Simultaneously, gauges T1 and T2 are stretched increasing their resistances. The change in resistances causes increased current to flow through C1 and C2 and decreased current to flow through T1 and T2. The associated voltage difference through 2 differential outputs provides the desired measurement.
Micron Instruments' Semiconductor Strain Gages
Semiconductor strain gages (SSGs) make use of the piezo-resistive effect exhibited by certain semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium in order to obtain greater sensitivity and higher-level output. SSGs can be produced to have either positive or negative changes when strained. They can be made physically small while still maintaining a high nominal resistance. SSG bridges may have 100 times the sensitivity of bridges employing metal films, but are temperature-sensitive and therefore require temperature compensation.
Micron Instruments' Semiconductor Strain Gages are micro machined from a solid single grown crystal of "P" doped Silicon. This results in a two terminal resistive device that has a minimum of molecular slippages or dislocations permitting repeatable use to high strain levels.
Foil Gage vs. Semiconductor Strain Gage Implementation of Load Cells
We address the relative differences between Foil Gages and SSGs in [Ref. 1].
Foil load cells often have a small non-linearity in the order of 0.25 % of full scale. The sensitivity drops slightly with load. This usually due to the stain range required to get 20 millivolts of full-scale signal, and also depends on the metal the gage is normally bonded to.
Bonding a low resistance SSG in the compression region of the load cell, and wiring it in series with the excitation, can correct the sensitivity loss. As a load is applied, the gage resistance decreases, increasing the voltage to the foil bridge. Selecting the right resistance and gage factor SSG can reduce the non-linearity to less than 0.01 % of full scale – potentially a 25x improvement!
When an over-range or high output signal is required, SSGs should be considered. If the normal 20 millivolts full scale output signal of the foil gage bridge is sufficient, the SSG can be over-ranged five times full scale with no change in performance, twenty times full scale with a minor zero load offset, and 100 times full scale before failure.
If high output is required, the SSG will provide five times full scale (100 millivolts) and still work under the one micro-strain precision elastic limit (infinite life) with five volts excitation or up to 400 millivolts output at the normal strain range of the foil load cells.
[1] H. Chelner and R. Mueller, "Compelling Benefits of Micron Instruments' Semiconductor Strain Gages"
With 10 volts excitation, a one-volt (1000 millivolt) signal is obtainable with some non-linearity of 0.25 % of full scale, which is normal for a typical foil gage.
High Frequency Load Cells
Due to the small size of Micron's SS-018 SSG - less than ½ mm long - load cell compliant sections can be minimized. This small physical size, associated low mass, and the low operating strain levels, makes it possible to design high frequency load cells.
We refer the reader to [Ref. 2] for a more detailed discussion on high frequency strain gages.
High Accuracy Load Cells
Miniature and high sensitivity SSGs make it possible to build very small high accuracy load cells, easily measuring milligrams. This opens up the possibility of many new applications of load cells.
Wireless Load Cell Implementations
For many applications, wireless communication for load cells offers obvious advantages: it's non-intrusive and avoids the many problems with tethered wired sensors. It can also be important to avoid power sources that have limited life. The good news is there are passive wireless technologies, covered by international (ISO) standards, which meet most industry requirements. The transceivers are commercially available and relatively inexpensive.
Several passive wireless technologies are options for wireless load cells. One is "passive high-frequency", or HF, operating at 13.56MHz. Multiple semiconductor companies offer HF transceivers and interrogators that comply with the ISO 15693 standard and can be used with or without a battery. There is also a Near Field Communication (NFC) standard (now used in smart phones) published by the NFC Forum that supports HF tags compliant with the ISO 14443 A and B standards. HF is most useful for short-range applications that do not have high data rate requirements.
Another option is UHF Gen 2, which has approved frequency bands in Europe, India, and the Middle East (865 – 868 MHz); the U.S., South America, and some parts of Asia
(902– 928 MHz), and Japan (950– 956 MHz). There are commercially available EPC
[2] H. Chelner and R. Mueller, "HIGH FREQUENCY, HIGH PRESSURE, and HIGH TEMPERATURE SEMICONDUCTOR STRAIN GAGE SENSORS",
Gen 2 tags that work across all 860 – 956 MHz, and other optimized for specific sub-bands.
Both HF and UHF Gen 2 tags are also available with battery-assisted power (BAP), which can increase both communication range and data rate.
A major benefit of Micron's SSGs is the industry's top high-impedance options, currently up to 50,000 Ω, which dramatically reduces the over-the-air power required by the sensor to deliver the data to the wireless transceiver. Micron's high-impedance gages are special products that require contacting the company.
A related article on wireless SSGs can be found at [Ref. 3] .
Expert Load Cell Design Consultation and Gaging Services
Virtually every gaging application requires careful consideration of gage selection, gage placement, adhesives, and curing cycles. This depends heavily on the part to be gaged, material, available area, stress fields from FEAs, operating temperature range, operating strain range, sensitivity requirements, frequency response requirements, etc. Expert gaging is often required to extract the unique benefits of load cells built with Micron's SSGs.
Micron Instruments has over 40 years of success in guiding our customers to making the right choices at this critical stage of the product development cycle. Our experts are available to offer consultation on how to best use Micron Instruments' SSGs for creating industry-leading load cells, and to provide expert gaging services to ensure our gages are properly placed and adhered onto your parts.

About the Author: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - Born; 12 January 1918 – 5 February 2008), was born Mahesh Prasad Varma and obtained the honorifics Maharishi (meaning "enlightened spiritual one") and Yogi as an adult. He developed the Transcendental Meditation technique and was the leader and guru of a worldwide organization that has been characterized in multiple ways including as a new religious movement and as non-religious.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi became a disciple and assistant of Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, the Shankaracharya (spiritual leader) of Jyotirmath in the Indian Himalayas. The Maharishi credits Brahmananda Saraswati with inspiring his teachings. In 1955, the Maharishi began to introduce his Transcendental Deep Meditation (later renamed Transcendental Meditation) to India and the world. His first global tour began in 1958. His devotees referred to him as His Holiness, and because he often laughed in TV interviews he was sometimes referred to as the "giggling guru". In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Maharishi achieved fame as the guru to The Beatles and other celebrities. He started the TM-Sidhi programme, in the late 1970s that claimed to offer practitioners the ability to levitate and to create world peace.

In order to root out any problem of life it is only necessary to be brought out of ignorance, to be brought to knowledge."
"All freedom to man, but freedom is useful when we know what life is, when we know what past is, what present is, when we know how to go about things, not that every man should be left to experiment by himself."
"About humility we speak with an analogy: When the branches are full of fruit, they just bow down."
"What we have been saying from the beginning of the Movement has been unbelievable but it has come to be believed. We have been impossible right from the beginning and we must continue to be impossible because we are raising a voice against suffering which has been considered to be the nature of life. It is our joy to be considered impossible - and it is our greater joy to make the impossible a living reality."

"We have an infinite number of reasons to be happy, and a serious responsibility not be serious."
"We don't do what we know is wrong."
"Unless an action is rightly thought out and its steps rightly planned, every stage of its performance will probably remain vague and therefore unsatisfactory for the doer and all those concerned."
"Under all circumstances be happy, even if you have to force it a bit to change some long standing habits."
"Transcendental meditation is something that can be defined as a means to do what one wants to do in a better way, in a right way, for maximum results."
"This is the whole aim of the Vedas: that no man engaged in the field of diversity--field of diversity means field of death, field of change--no man engaged in the field of change should ever be allowed to remain there all the time. He should be given the opportunity, his body and mind should be cultured so that imperishable state of eternal Being permeates all these changing phenomena in the relative world."
"There is nothing that can be said so certainly about stress except that the amount of rest produced will neutralise the corresponding intensity of stress."
"The whole effect of activity is to enrich the feeling of the other."
"The nature of life is to more and more."
"The factor of time is very vital in life. Those who have accomplished great things in the world have been those who valued time in their life. The time of life is limited and a great amount of evolution has to be accomplished for fulfilment of life. Therefore, the factor of time must be valued above everything."
"So transcendental meditation brings about transcendental consciousness, which is self-referral consciousness, the source of all intelligence."
"So if people do what they know to be good, the knowledge of good is enough in the world for them to be really happy and really peaceful and really remarkably friendly and supportive to everyone."
"Sleep in the bliss of God. Feel love of God, Lie in the showers of his blessings. Let your heart melt in the love of God. Sleep in the love of God and in Love. Sleep in the warmth of Divine Grace, Without my words -- only in this feeling."
"Problems are not solved on the level of problems. Analysing a problem to find its solution is like trying to restore freshness to a leaf by treating the leaf itself, whereas the solution lies in watering the root."
"Only we should not be influenced by the winds."
"One can be the master of one's own destiny if one follows the Vedic way of life, which is life according to natural law, which can prevent disorders."
"Nature works in parallel ways."
"Naturalness is the basis of effectiveness."
"More support of nature comes from being happy."
"Love in the heart of man is a shrine to God on Earth."
"Life is all business. Spend your energy to get joy, happiness, evolution, and to gain more ability to enjoy. In this field we spend our energy. We never use our time, energy, speech, or ability to do something that doesn't help us grow and improve our life. It's not worth it."
"Just think of any negativity that comes to you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss."
"If you want to pay off your debts, it pays to increase your earning power."
"If we are all strong, stable, we can set our sail with any wind in the world that comes along. We make up our own direction. If we are not strong, we are like a leaf in the wind and the world's winds will take us where they wish, not where WE wish. So we meditate, every day, regularly, and gain transcendental being in our everyday life and then we are strong. When we are all infused with Being, we need not think which course is right, we just take the one that is automatically. Being is the wind-resister and the sail-setter..."
"If a man is able to submit himself to nature, then nature will react to his needs. Almighty nature is all powerful and all loving, for the laws of nature are for the creation and evolution of all beings and creatures throughout the cosmos. There is no greater kindness than the kindness of nature."
"I will fill the world with love and create Heaven on Earth."

With his second EP for Turbo Recordings, Nautiluss pushes against the darker edges of modern techno and house, supported by supreme tastemakers such as Martyn, Untold, Gesaffelstein and Ivan Smagghe. "Depth Charge" combines sub-heavy bass, gritty metallic hi-hats, and cool sonar bleeps to create a unique atmospheric bomb. "Surfeit" sounds like an entire warehouse caving in on your head, and "Sunder" gradually builds into a bass monster, complete with demonic vocal stabs and hypnotic pads. Finally, "Stygian" is a funky, mid-tempo electro gem.
