OTTAWA, Ontario — This time, this Sharks seemed more resigned to their ultimate fate.
San Jose had just lost 5-2 to the Ottawa Senators on Monday in a game it led after two periods. It was the Sharks' third defeat in four games on this do-or-die trip that has three more stops, and players weren't working hard to keep up the pretense that they still had a shot at the postseason.
Mathematically, yes, San Jose is still alive. Realistically? The assessment was harsh.
Despite the long odds against them, the Sharks were still holding onto their playoff aspirations before the game, and if they were serious, they could have pointed to the Senators as their come-back-from-the-dead role models.
Ottawa was 14 points out of an Eastern Conference playoff spot Feb. 10 before turning its season around behind the spectacular goaltending of unheralded rookie Andrew "Hamburglar" Hammond. With the win, the Senators leapfrogged over the Boston Bruins and were back in a postseason slot for the first time since Nov. 28.
As often has been the case this season, the Sharks' undoing came after small mistakes.
Goals 30 seconds apart in the second period by Joe Pavelski and Chris Tierney had given San Jose a 2-1 lead after Ottawa center Mika Zibanejad got the first of his two goals to open the scoring.
But the Senators rebounded with three unanswered goals in the first 14 minutes of the third period, and the Sharks were unable to counter.
The downhill slide started at 2:19 when Ottawa forward Bobby Ryan pushed the puck toward the front of the net where Tierney seemed in position to send it out of the zone. Instead, Zibanejad lifted the Sharks rookie's stick and fired the puck over goalie Antti Niemi almost in the same motion.
That tied things at 2-2, and Ottawa regained the lead a little less than 10 minutes later in a sequence that started when Couture's attempt to clear the puck went to Ottawa defenseman Cody Ceci. His shot was blocked, but Alex Chiasson ended up deflecting a shot that followed at 12:11.
Ottawa had a 4-2 lead just 72 seconds later when a drop pass by Brenden Dillon didn't connect because Joe Thornton fell to the ice. Jean-Gabriel Pageau finished off a give-and-go with defenseman Erik Karlsson, and the game was out of reach.
An empty-net goal by Ottawa center Mike Hoffman simply wrapped up the scoring.
Unfortunately for the Sharks, the pattern was more typical than they would like, the seventh time this season that San Jose carried a lead into the third period and didn't come away with the two points.
The Sharks had talked before the game about the need to play desperation hockey, and coach Todd McLellan said he thought they showed that throughout the game — even rejecting the suggestion that the Senators showed even more of it.
McLellan did stop short of totally writing off his team's playoff chances with nine games to play, even though there's still an eight-point gap between San Jose and the nearest playoff berth with multiple teams to climb over.


Pam Loudy started her craft career like many of us by selling handmade items to her co-workers. She expanded her business by selling through consignment shops and selling via Etsy.
Pam has been a fixture on Etsy since 2005 selling her one-of-a kind pendants and belt buckles. Pam has a unique eye for fusing glass. She comes up with fresh ideas and stays one step ahead of her competitors.
For a look at some of the beautiful items Pam has in her Etsy shop, check out Loved in Red, Brown Swirl and Fishy Fishy which are pictured items above (and 2 of which are already sold).
When she is not working on her craft business you will find her enjoying Minnesota outdoor activities such as canoeing, golfing and volleyball. She also enjoys walking her dogs at Minnehaha Falls Park while eating ice cream and walking with her husband.
Check out Pam Loudy's Etsy Shop and check out her beautiful one-of-a-kind pendants and buckles.
Like many artists Shelley Ann "fell" into her craft. When she was given the opportunity to show off her goods in a local store she jumped at the chance.
Shelley Ann's Etsy shop is full of FIBERS! You will find radiant wall quilts, quilted post cards, barrettes, and coffee cuffs. Check out Shelley's fused glass night lights for a grown up way to chase away the dark. Almost every item is a one of a kind piece so you don't have to share your incredible find with anyone else.
Using a self discovered technique Shelley's wall quilts are something to behold. They are comprised of thousands of individual pieces of hand dyed fabric that have been fused down and then stitched down with decorative thread. Shelley also used crystals and fabric paint to add movement and a sparkle to these elaborate works of art.
Be sure to stop by Shelley Ann's Etsy shop to get a closer look at her works and visit her blog to read more about this fabulous fiber artist we are proud to call a Minnesotan!!
Brian Western of Western Art Glass has been cutting glass and applying band-aids since 1978, and has been a part of etsy since January 2007 selling his gorgeous glass. It all started with the help of his older brother and mentor. Now his stained-glass sun catchers light up windows and add a fun, glowing organic feel to your home.
The most astonishing part is that Brian works without any of the modern luxuries available to glass artists these days. Everything is done by hand with a Fletcher 07 glass cutter and a couple of grozing pliers. His materials of choice? Glass, lead, copper foil, copper tubing, solder, wires, and duck eggs.
This Minnesota man... a self-proclaimed "non-reformed Hobbit" loves being able to slink around in the background.... but his eye-catching work calls for attention.
I see that a lot of our members are represented with direct links on the left of this page. How can I get my link on there?

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week's edition of Channel Chaser! Since I seem to enjoy doing list articles a lot, I decided to just make said articles a recurring segment called "The Countdown." And for today's topic, I'd like to thank the staff of Dorkly.com for providing me with an interesting topic for reflection: the best bad guys on television.
From now until October 11, the pop-culture web site is running a bracket-type lineup of what they consider to be the most memorable villains from current and off-air TV shows, and there's a lot of great choices to choose from. I have to admit that for me, one of the main indicators in whether I like a show is if it has a multi-dimensional and dynamic villain to keep things interesting for the protagonists, so this got me thinking about what characters I would pick as my favorite bad guys. Here are my top picks, in no particular order of badness.
Sure, BBC's sci-fi classic has a ton of iconic bad guys to choose from, like the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Weeping Angels, etc. But the one that always stands out for me is the Doctor's arch-nemesis, the renegade Time Lord known as the Master. For as long as the Doctor has been around to protect the universe, the Master has been trying to conquer and rule it with his own, twisted vision of perfection, and nowhere is this more apparent than in his most recent incarnation, portrayed in Series 3 and 4 by John Simm.
The "Master Trilogy" at the end of Series 3 will always be one of my favorite moments in modern Doctor Who purely because of Simm's show-stealing breakout performance. While the Master is obviously crazy and evil, he shows genuine moments of tenderness when conversing with the Doctor, and shares the same joyful and wild (albeit darker) energy that makes the hero so appealing to viewers. The Master is great because he clearly loves playing the villain. Good for him… I guess.
Moving away from established villains, we next turn to a character who first came on the CW in a bit part and now has a starring role in one of its most popular shows. Seriously, where would Supernatural be without Mark Sheppard's snarky, sadistic demon overlord Crowley? Not nearly as successful, that's for sure.
What makes Crowley such a great villain is that he will do anything–absolutely anything–to serve his needs, including teaming up with the "good guys" of the series on multiple occasions before he inevitably turns on them again. This makes the King of Hell more dangerous than any other enemy Sam and Dean have faced, in that his loyalties and motives are completely unpredictable. Crowley may do a good thing from time to time, but the show also serves up a reminder every now and again of what a brutal and deceitful being he really is–in his own sneaky, smarmy way. He's the kind of villain you love to hate, and one that's not getting dull anytime soon.
Speaking of evil masterminds (and major spoiler alert to any GOT fans who aren't caught up yet), it turns out that everyone's favorite traitorous royal treasurer has pretty much been behind every big plot point in the show so far: the execution of Ned Stark, the murder of Joffrey at his own wedding, the killing of Jon Arryn…the list goes on. The honest truth is that, without Littlefinger, the story of Game of Thrones would never have happened.
Littlefinger is power-hungry, merciless, and scary smart–pretty much everything you'd expect from the architect of a conspiracy of such magnitude. And the best part is that he has really never been anything but upfront with the other characters about what he's up to; he's just so unassuming and flies so far under the radar that everyone overlooks him. He's the least emotional and least prone to violence of anyone in Westeros, but causes the most bloodshed. He's the one that no one ever counts on, and that's what makes us watch what he's doing so intently.
It's pretty rare that the villain of a piece is actually said piece's main character, but if there ever were such a case, it would be ruthless politician Frank Underwood in Netflix's DC drama House of Cards. Portrayed brilliantly by veteran actor Kevin Spacey, the whole allure of the show, and of Underwood's character, is that the audience is simultaneous rooting for his sinister plans to succeed and for the ostensible "good guys" (if there really are any) in the story to catch him at it.
Underwood is incredibly interesting in that he's not really your textbook bad guy: he just wants what he wants, and he'll stop at nothing to get it, even if it means stepping on other people along the way. It's clear that he wants power, but what he plans do with that power once he gets it is a mystery. And in spite of his obvious ambition, he has a strict code of conduct and morality, as skewed as it may be, that drives his actions by principle rather than partisanship. Maybe he won't be so bad as President. But that's probably wishful thinking.
I should be clear that I'm kind of stretching the definition of "villain" when it comes to BSG's Gaius Baltar. Baltar's not inherently a bad guy, or even a bad person, although he is certainly more flawed than most. The major reason he is included here is due to his overwhelming sense of self-preservation, in that he only cares about himself and will do whatever he needs to in order to survive, including things that most other people wouldn't. The worst part for him is that he sometimes even has good intentions behind what he does; but as we all know, the road to hell is paved with plenty of those.
Besides his overdeveloped sense of self-preservation, Baltar's main crime is that he is weak, often too cowardly to take responsibility for what he has done, and self-centered to the point of narcissism. Oh, and he caused the near-annihilation of the human race through his own carelessness. Even when he tries to do good, it turns sour on him. But bad guys are best when they're dynamic, and Baltar is definitely that: in fact, by the time the series is over, he actually redeems himself by almost single-handedly saving humanity. Baltar takes us through a roller-coaster ride of bad to good and then back to bad again, and all the while maintaining an awkward, quirky style that proves to be quite endearing. If there was ever a villain to cheer for, Gaius Baltar is the one.

Home > Features > David Hudson
ePropelled's eDTS motors stand to greatly enhance EV efficiciencies, and David Hudson is to oversee their supply and continued r&d
(Courtesy of ePropelled)
The head of EV strategy at ePropelled tells Rory Jackson how he came into the role and shares details of the company's dynamic torque switching technology
Predicting growth or decline across different areas of the e-mobility world is challenging at the best of times. These days it is even more complex, with major evolutions sorely needed across systemic factors such as vehicle r&d, material supply chains and worldwide energy and transport infrastructure to pave the way for full replacement of IC engines with zero-emissions powertrains. These factors must be closely watched and understood to enable informed decisions on new investments across manufacturing, research and joint ventures.
Vehicle OEMs need to move in step with these forces to safeguard their assets and strategic decisions in the new automotive age. And ePropelled's head of EV strategy, David Hudson, knows that need first hand.
His career spans more than 40 years across a number of major names in the automotive world. For the most part of the past 20 years he was particularly prominent in the technical leadership of Tata Motors, managing much of that vast organisation's r&d and guiding it towards electrification technologies.
Earlier this year, he moved from Tata to the rapidly growing ePropelled, an electric motor company already acclaimed in the UAV world for the high efficiency of its products. The company is now making strides in the EV space thanks to its recently unveiled electric dynamic torque switching (eDTS) technology.
Starting at Jaguar
Hudson's earliest inspirations and career steps were in the realm of traditional IC engine mobility. A childhood love of cars culminated in him signing up to a mechanical engineering undergraduate programme at the highly automotive-focused Lanchester Polytechnic (now Coventry University) in England, in the mid-1970s.
"I'd had interviews with and been offered university sponsorship offers from several groups then known as members of British Leyland, but eventually I chose Jaguar [the Large Car division of British Leyland at the time]," Hudson recounts. "It was partly out of a love of the brand, but also their interview involved being given an engineering problem to solve; as a 17-year-old, that was quite a thrilling process to be put through."
He adds that his final-year project was in fact part of an EV competition by Lucas Automotive, open not only to students but professional and independent engineers worldwide. Its aim was to see how far a car could be built to travel on two of Lucas' lead-acid batteries (similarly to the Shell Eco-marathon competitions, he notes). Entrants selected from an initial design round would continue on to a constructors' round.
"I worked with a colleague – who's since gone on to a very successful career in Formula One with Arrows, McLaren and Toyota – using small-scale wind tunnels and finite element stress analyses on the frame to produce a vehicle design that won second prize nationally in the design round," Hudson says.
"The department was overjoyed, and its technicians helped us get our vehicle built for round two at Donnington Park in 1979. Unfortunately, on the day, Lucas changed the venue from Donnington's full track – which was hilly but generally all gentle turns, and for which we'd specifically engineered our steering and transmission – to just a test on the pit straight with a U-turn at the end.
"So we didn't do as well at that event as other, cruder vehicles with lower centres of gravity, but I learned the value of good teamwork on a vehicle concept – dividing tasks, preparing drawings for somebody else to understand, and so on. As an engineer about to enter the professional automotive field, it was maybe the best thing I could have done."
Although Hudson was involved largely in vehicle research at Jaguar, very little of it had anything to do with electrification at that point. Instead, he honed a specialisation in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) that would serve him well in the years ahead.
The electric car
Hudson's tenure at Jaguar ended in 1991. Since then, he's held numerous consulting positions at various well-known vehicle firms including Aston Martin, Ford, JaguarSport and Lotus.
His career took on a new focus in 1995, when he was appointed technical director for NVH at Ricardo, in its then-new North American office in Detroit.
"They were rapidly expanding from pure CAE work for IC engines into real-world experimentation across full powertrains, and they were working with General Motors on the EV1 project in 1995 – a vehicle since made famous by the film Who Killed the Electric Car?," Hudson muses. "They brought me in largely just to reduce its gear noise, which had become audible thanks to the IC engine's absence, but I got a real appreciation and excitement for its overall engineering and what it showed that EVs could do on the US freeways.
"Granted, it was limited by the battery technologies of the day – nickel metal hydride for about 26 kWh and 140 miles – but it was a reasonably quick car, and a great introduction for many of us into what a fully OEM-developed EV felt like. It did 0-60 mph in 8 seconds, felt very sporty, and a lot of the chassis inputs were actually done by Lotus, so they've had a long heritage in EV innovation that's continued to this day."
Although Hudson was very bullish about GM's opportunities to get ahead of the curve in EV manufacturing at the time, he notes that the project fell through. GM did not become the EV market leader for various political and economic reasons, not least the introduction of European diesel engines into North American light vehicle markets.
"That yielded good lessons too, thankfully. Integrating diesel engines in place of gasoline ones really made a lot of engineers remember that what a lot of drivers want isn't power, it's torque. So we learned to design for what the customer wants, to start doing so early in the automotive design process, and never to go to market with a car made by engineers just for engineers – something new SMEs in the EV space are now quickly learning."
Between 1998 and 2003, Hudson served as a director at AVL, also in Detroit. Like Ricardo, AVL did little real work in electrification, especially compared with its leading role in the field now, although Hudson did work heavily on emissions compliance across a range of new markets, including powersports and leisure vehicles.

At Tata
Hudson joined Tata Motors in 2008, after being recruited through the company's European technical centre at Warwick University. He moved to Pune, India, in June that year to become head of NVH for the next three years.
"It was my first work on heavy-duty trucks and buses, and I was tasked mainly with bringing their vehicles in line with worldwide standards on NVH. India's import controls were being relaxed so Tata suddenly had to compete with foreign-built vehicles and a much more demanding consumer base," he explains.
In 2011 however, things changed significantly. Hudson was promoted to chief engineer for vehicle integration, and he was also made engineering lead for a proposed concept of a small EV suited to global markets.
"The Tata Motors European technical centre had been working on EVs since 2007, and by 2009 had a European-certified EV ready for production," he says. "That was the Indica Vista EV, and it was the first EV to receive European Whole Vehicle Type Approval, pre-dating the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe by some years.
"Admittedly it didn't go on to commercial sale, largely because lithium-ion batteries cost something upwards of $1000/kWh back then and Tata didn't have the means to subsidise such an expensive loss leader. But it was a crucial knowledge builder for Tata Motors, as essentially every part was all-new and either made in-house or commissioned by Tata – the drive motor, power electronics and the battery were all built to order."
Subsequent years at Tata Motors saw Hudson advance through chief engineering positions across the OEM's growing hybrid and advanced vehicle divisions, until eventually being made head of propulsion in 2017 and head of powertrain engineering in 2019.
"There were a lot of interesting projects in those years, for example an Innovate UK programme aimed at building a range extender auxiliary power unit based on the two-cylinder IC engine from the Tata Nano," he says.
"It was probably the lowest-cost way to develop a range extender and reduce the battery size. Lithium-ion costs per kilowatt-hour had maybe halved since the Indica Vista years, but adding a range extender still helped tremendously to lower development costs, emissions and range anxiety. Ricardo, Lotus, AVL and others had all made blank-sheet concepts for range extenders, but we decided to go the route of using our compact engine that was already in production.
"We met all the MPGe targets, but by the end of the project battery prices finally hit a point where BEVs looked like a golden opportunity. So, just as BMW were launching their i3 range extender concept – with a remarkably similar engineering strategy to ours – we moved on to new, fully electric pastures, including a modular EV architecture project in 2017 and a full-electric conversion of the Tata Racemo sportscar in 2018."
ePropelled
Hudson's introduction to ePropelled came when the company was still a young start-up. Its inception came about after a conversation between Nick Grewal, then a US investor looking for patented technologies in the EV space, and Dr Nabeel Shirazee, who had invented and patented what would become the eDTS technology.
The interests of the two were soon combined to found ePropelled, with Grewal as CEO and Dr Shirazee as CTO, and with the start-up initially concentrating on commercialising the latter's additional r&d into small UAV motors. Automotive e-motors remained a long-term target however.
"To meet that target, Nick and Nabeel were looking for opportunities to work with automotive OEMs and realised they needed drive-cycle data to simulate how ePropelled EV motors would compare against existing e-machines," Hudson recounts. "Around 6 months after the company had been formed, they and I were introduced through Embed, a software company that was working with both ePropelled and Tata Motors, and was intrigued by what Nick and Nabeel had in store."
Initially, Grewal offered Hudson an advisory board position to add an OEM perspective. Their discussions also led to Tata, Embed and ePropelled collaborating on a demonstrator vehicle for the eDTS technology, under the UK Advanced Propulsion Centre's Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator programme, which was unveiled and discussed at Cenex-LCV 2021.
"What really appealed to me was that ePropelled's r&d is so focused on efficiency," Hudson recalls. "Nabeel's technical goals were all about making motors, power electronics and all the related parts lighter and more power-dense. By that time, I'd already spoken at many conferences about the dire need for more efficiency in EVs, especially in emerging markets such as India where EVs were too overpowered, overpriced and 'over-battery-ed' for buyers to feasibly make good returns on them.
"So we quickly moved forward on the demonstrator to obtain real-world results showing that an eDTS motor could achieve double-digit improvements [across a vehicle's full range of operating speeds], rather than the 2-3% gains most researchers are aiming for, and without relying solely on simulated or test bed data."
Motors with eDTS technology are designed quite differently from conventional PMSMs. The latter feature numerous uniformly shaped and routed stator windings, along with a speed-torque curve that is initially flat at the top and runs asymptotically towards its top speed.
They have only one 'sweet spot' of peak efficiency across their performance range, which they fall short of across most other speed points. Also, they need to draw extra current for field weakening as they approach their highest speeds, lest the back-EMF cuts off their ability to continue accelerating at their input voltage.
In an eDTS motor, multiple reconfigurable windings allow the electric motor to provide high torque at low speeds without drawing high current from the batteries, and high speeds at low torque levels without using deep field weakening.
Among the sets of windings, connected variably in series and parallel, a device called a switch matrix is used to switch between them, all the while communicating to the inverter which 'motor' is receiving the power.
"We've had some questions about the 'redundant windings', but no windings are redundant in eDTS," Hudson points out. "We have current flowing through all the copper at all times."
Based on the operating needs, the control system determines (in real time) where the system should be on the adaptive shift map. The control system then configures the switch matrix, which enables the various modes. The ECU can switch electronically and dynamically between these, much as a conventional IC powertrain uses mechanical gears to switch to different speed-torque curves suited for different road conditions.
"As a result, each mode will have different characteristics, including torque profile, speed range and constant power range," Hudson says. "It's always an optimal or near-optimal motor, no matter how your weight or the road changes. The control software navigates between windings to find the highest efficiency, and keeps the phase currents as low as possible in each operating condition to minimise iron and copper losses."
Hudson notes that the core technology is established in Dr Shirazee's original patent and is now in the eDTS motor prototypes. The company is now focused on the motor control algorithms to optimise switching and power efficiency. After that, road testing will be carried out to observe how EVs feel and handle when running on eDTS motors, particularly to minimise any changes in vehicle response when switching between motor modes.
"When the opportunity came to join ePropelled as director of EV strategy earlier this year, I leapt at the chance to become part of their big push," Hudson says. "Nick's confident about the difference that Nabeel's tech can make in the EV space, and in being able to make agile and accurate strategic decisions using what I've learned over the years."
Hudson anticipates that testing and application validation of the eDTS technology will take up most of ePropelled's focus for the next several years. Key EV markets will initially include light-duty automotive OEMs in South Asia, where programmes aimed at creating compressed natural gas infrastructure have failed to bear fruit, and electrification – mostly via battery-swapping infrastructure – is now being promoted, as well as marine and aircraft customers.
"It will take some work, as our initial eDTS prototypes have generally been 70-80 kW units, and the target market in South Asia is mainly 10 kW vehicles," he notes. "And once we're satisfied with the software and approach to scalability, we'll focus on certifications for all the automotive, aviation and other standards that end-users expect.
"Also, marine might be an unexpected area to look into, but it's very interesting. There are huge sections of the maritime industry that are rapidly moving towards electrification, but are doing so with very crude, inefficient and expensive powertrain technologies, especially compared with road vehicles.
"An eDTS outboard motor could work brilliantly, because speedboats have very similar torque-switching requirements to cars. You need high torque at low speeds to pull your propeller, but once you're planing, you can cut the torque because your drag force has dropped dramatically."
In addition to future advances in solid-electrolyte batteries, Hudson anticipates that improvements across a huge range of technologies such as additive manufacturing, composites and even bearing concepts stand to go a long way towards reducing the drag, weight and frictional losses that are holding EVs back from their full potential.
"There are many technological challenges in the EV space, but I do feel most of them are being faced head on," he says.

RUN BY DUBLIN PUBLICANS, FOR DUBLIN PUBLICANS FOR 200 YEARS
The Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) is the trade association and representative body for the publicans of Dublin. Established in 1817, the LVA is over 200 years old, making it oldest trade association in Ireland.
The LVA is a membership-based organisation and is funded by membership subscriptions.
With approximately 600 members, including some of the most successful and visionary publicans in the country, collectively the LVA represent over 75% of all pubs in Dublin and Bray. LVA members collectively sell more than a quarter of all the alcohol sold through the licensed trade in Ireland and play a pivotal role in the business, social and cultural life of our capital city.
The Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) campaigns tirelessly to ensure the issues that matter to the Dublin Licensed Trade are considered by politicians and other decision makers. In recent years the LVA has been successful in protecting publicans interests on a number of fundamental legislative challenges including effectively opposing the café bar proposal and the closure of early houses. Another significant example of this activity was seen in 2018 when pubs were allowed to open on Good Friday for the first time in 91 years.
The LVA has also continued the effective annual campaign to avoid increases in alcohol excise. They continue to lobby for the fair regulation of the industry to help to create an environment that allows Dublin pubs to thrive and contribute to the colour and vibrancy of our capital city.

Identity of the RNase MRP- and RNase P-associated Th/To autoantigen.
Title: Identity of the RNase MRP- and RNase P-associated Th/To autoantigen.
Author(s): Eenennaam, H. van ; Vogelzangs, J.H.P. ; Lugtenberg, T.M. ; Hoogen, F.H.J. van den ; Venrooij, W.J.W. van ; Pruijn, G.J.M.
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the molecular identity of the Th/To autoantigen, which is targeted by autoantibodies in scleroderma and which is associated with the human RNase MRP and RNase P ribonucleoprotein complexes. METHODS: Proteins immunoprecipitated by anti-Th/To+ patient antisera from biotinylated total HeLa cell extracts were analyzed by immunoblotting. The association of autoantigenic proteins with the RNase MRP complex was analyzed by reconstitution experiments and ultraviolet crosslinking. The reactivity of patient sera with all known RNase MRP/RNase P proteins was analyzed by immunoprecipitation of the individual recombinant proteins. RESULTS: The previously defined Th40 autoantigen appeared to be identical to the Rpp38 protein. Paradoxically, Rpp38 did not bind to the P3 domain of the RNase MRP RNA, as suggested by previously published data for Th40, and only half of the anti-Th/To+ sera contained anti-Rpp38 reactivity. Two other RNase MRP/RNase P subunits, Rpp20 and Rpp25, were found to interact with the P3 domain. The previously reported 40-kd species associated with this domain appeared to consist of Rpp20 and/or Rpp25 associated with a nuclease-resistant RNA fragment. Finally, we demonstrated that almost all tested anti-Th/To+ patient sera contained autoantibodies to Rpp25 and hPop1, indicating that these proteins harbor the most frequently targeted Th/To determinants. CONCLUSION: Our data unequivocally define the identity of the Th/To autoantigen and demonstrate that Th/To autoepitopes are found on several protein subunits of RNase MRP/RNase P.


Strategy is based on producing a future result, to implement strategy we need an anchor, an artifact that we can begin to orient around; Turn around work, designing a pivot, or simply ramping revenue is difficult because of the people element. People are doing whatever they are doing, which may, or may not be consistent with producing value. Typically different threads have been tied into a tangle that has become a problem. Clients concern oscillating between making it work, and saying goodbye. The body gets stuck in old patterns, even if the mind says let's change it up.
Businesses sell things. And, part of turn around / pivot strategy is figuring out what to sell. Not only what to sell, but how to sell it, where to sell it, why people buy it, or don't - etc., etc., etc.
Live audience resonance tests with speculative language designed to connect with the concerns of the listener.
"Too many times ability gets bound up in the debate of the irrelevant."
Example: The client team had been in conversation about refining their website and ROI calculator for months. Nothing but confusion was produced.
The Language Of Coordination changed that. By focusing on the distinctions within the language of coordination clarity was produced quickly. A strategy had been declared, though activity didn't match the strategy. This was discussed. The strategy redeclared as valuable and the future, again anticipated as positive possibility.
We still needed an artifact. Again, using the language of coordination distinctions we reverted to review of the desired audience the strategy was pointed at. And, with that audience redeclared then we would make some very basic assessments about that audiences concerns. Operational cost. And, the operational theory that a certain segment of this desired audience would be pre-educated, interested and willing to transact. To begin we needed a base return on investment [ROI] engine on the web. A url we could point to.
A mock up was built over night by way of reduction. Reduction to a very basic set of elements, which could be conveyed in brief discussion coupled with an email briefly detailing specific labels to be used. The next step is to evolve this little engine through a very basic set of refinement requests.
The next step after refinement will be live audience testing within the desired audience set. Does the narrative resonate?
Way better than going round and round in speculative conversation about what the test will look like amidst bifurcating conversation of strategy. The Coordination Waste cut out of the previous process, enormous!
Case Example: Strategy is set based on Assessment/opinion of the past, present and future.
The operating principle is that there are still situations wherein the end user is still interested in saving money [90%+] on recurring utility expenses. Our declared strategy is a focus on such personas. We know they exist, because it was sales to such personas that launched the company.
So, we've declared an audience. Next, we declare a message. An anchor to orient around.
The coordination waste that had previously been generated was short circuited by a simple declaration. Stop work!
Meanwhile, a very simple ground, which had already been discussed was moved from the conversational layer into being an actual thing. We implemented a top level conversational tool from which we could begin to explore the possibility that our desired audience still exists. We won't know if they do without some physical testing.


Kokkari offers meticulously prepared, authentic Greek cuisine.
: Named for a small fishing village on the Aegean Sea, Kokkari is owned by the same partnership that runs Evvia Estiatorio in Palo Alto. The multimillion-dollar design presents a large, welcoming fireplace, lots of wood and pottery, and floor lamps that lend a sophisticated, intimate look. One homey feature is a 20-foot-long family table near the semi-open kitchen. Chef Erik Cosselmon (formerly of Cetrella and Rose Pistola) adds his own Mediterranean flair to the Greek menu. A simple appetizer of feta cheese served with mixed olives, extra virgin olive oil and oregano sings the flavors of the region beautifully. Dolmades satisfy with their savory mix of rice, currants and pine nuts. We like the rich and comforting moussaka, a casserole of eggplant, lamb and velvety béchamel sauce. The mesquite grilled pork chop arrives with tender goat cheese dumplings. Even if you skip dessert, don't miss the coffee served Greek-style.

Participants are of the consensus that Taiwan has an edge in soft power, but suggest using Taiwan as a to expand outward.
CDF Forum – Venture Capital and Investment Banking Practice offers a series of specialized lectures for students, touching on private equity funds and digital finance, as well as other innovative businesses. In the sixty long years of CDF history, students have found its recent investment in the cultural and creative industry especially interesting. Thus, CDIB Venture Capital's Chairman Liu Shao-liang has leveraged his experience and connections to enrich the program, inviting Mr. Guo Zon-ling, CFO of Pili International Multimedia, Mr. Shih Kai-wen, CEO of Jollywiz, and Mr. Wang Sheng-bo, CFO of Kham Inc. as guest speakers to educate students about the current state of Taiwan's cultural and creative industry.
Mr. Kuo Zon-ling says that for expansion purposes, Pili has made an effort to lay down cultural roots, generate creative momentum, and sharpen technical abilities needed to create high-quality content compatible with market needs in the new-economy age. Pili has leveraged Taiwan's unique glove puppetry to expand internationally. Kham has also been dedicated to expanding overseas. CFO Wang Sheng-bo says concerts, exhibits, and musicals have seen demand growth slow within Taiwan, so once Kham became established as a local leader, it aggressively sought opportunities in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and mainland China. The company has transformed from an agency to a production house by developing proprietary content and establishing copyrights, and has rolled out a diverse portfolio of performances and exhibits. Jollywiz thinks that Chinese consumers have bid farewell to old retail consumption models and are demanding high-quality and personalized products. CEO Shih Kai-wen thinks now is a good time for brand development, recommending brand players to use e-commerce to penetrate China's consumer market, as marketing based on big-data is the way forward in retail brand development.
CDIB Venture Capital's Chairman Mr. Liu points out the core issue of Taiwan's cultural and creative industry, including market, talents and directions. Vice President Liu Ze-sheng of CDIB Capital Management says the cultural and creative industry needs souls that touch people inside and ideas that are constantly renewed to succeed. Be it Pili and Kham, leading players in the cultural creative industry, or Jollywiz, an example of leading industry into culture/creativity, these firms have succeeded in thinking outside of the box to blend cultural and creative elements with commerce, creating value for both enterprises and consumers.
CDF Forum – Venture Capital and Investment Banking Practice enables students to get first-hand guidance from mentors within the industry. Professor Chen Wen-hua, the head course instructor, says students value the opportunity to hear from well-known industry professionals. For us at CDF, education is always the best investment and we are happy to see positive influence coming from cooperation between industry and academia.
China Development Financial (CDF) was established in 2001 following a share swap managed by China Development Industrial Bank (CDIB, the former entity of CDIB Capital Group).


I don't really play DoDS anymore, and I'm not contributing to the clan at all so I figure its best I resign until the time comes that I'm an active DoDS player again.
I concur with Alfie mate, come see us when you are up for a game..
Instead of Resigning can I suggest a transfer to the reserves??
Thanks for the offer, but I am already part of another gaming community that cater to games outside of DoD:S, and honestly the only thing I'm playing right now is iRacing, which is a community in itself.

We won't do much for U.S. education unless we recognize and take steps to neutralize an irresponsible privatization movement that is bent on defunding and destroying public school education in the USA. This destructive "Luddite" movement has its own reasons for being, and its own self-interests, but improving the education of all Americans is not one of them.
When we consider languages on the curriculum, we have to include computer languages, and the technologies that go with it, as sources of teaching and learning.
Within the framework of the new "Common Core Standards Initiative," each school must review its own student needs, study plans and curriculum. What can each school, class and teacher do to promote innovative and critical thinking in different subject areas? Do we encourage interdisciplinary study and learning across borders? Is community service on the agenda? What on the curriculum do students really need, and what's there mainly to torture the students?
Many students who do have nurturing families to go home to in the evening seem to fare better even than private boarding school students when they later reach college and university. This has been noticed by a number of elite "Ivy League" and other higher education institutions, and they have adjusted their admissions assessments accordingly. It is no longer assumed that private school learning is necessarily better than public school learning.

Q: Unable to render a triangle using VAOs and VBOs-LWJGL3 (OpenGL 3.3) Im getting no errors, glGetErrors() is returning 0, shaders and compiling and the window setup code was copied directly from the LWJGL website.
Ive read all the stack overflow answers i could find related to problems like this and tried out their solutions but to no avail.
Could someone please help me fix my code.

}

A: Float.SIZE is not the number of bytes in a float (i.e. 4) but the number of bits in a float (i.e. 32). Therefore, lines like these:
GL20.glVertexAttribPointer(0,3, GL11.GL_FLOAT,false,Float.SIZE*3,0);

are wrong. This should read as:
GL20.glVertexAttribPointer(0,3, GL11.GL_FLOAT,false,Float.BYTES*3,0);

Additionally, you set the w component of gl_Position to 0.0, which will lead the vertices to be positioned at infinity.
You should change that to 1.0 instead in the vertex shader.


CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Isola Group S.a.r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), today announced Astra™, the company's breakthrough very low-loss dielectric constant (Dk) product for millimeter wave frequencies and beyond. Astra revolutionizes RF and microwave designs, as it delivers a thermoset solution, which is very easy to process and has stable electrical properties over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
The lead-free Astra laminate materials exhibit exceptional electrical properties that are constant over a broad frequency and temperature range. Astra features a Dk that is stable between 55 degrees Celsius and +125 degrees Celsius. In addition, Astra offers a lower dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0017, making it an extremely cost-effective alternative to PTFE and other commercial microwave laminate materials.
"Astra enables up to a 50 percent lower cost of ownership because of its processing advantages and lower price point. The product requires a press cycle that is roughly one-half that of competitive products and processing temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius, making it compatible with a wide range of hybrid products," stated Tarun Amla, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Isola Group.
Astra does not require the use of plasma cleaning, an offline and expensive PCB hole-wall preparation process. Astra also enables lower drilling costs, as its unfilled system provides easier drilling and extends drill life. It is available in all glass styles and thickness configurations, which eliminates the barriers to board thickness. Astra also demonstrates a high-peel strength, which enables use of special copper types to deliver very-low passive intermodulation numbers.
Astra is suitable for many of today's commercial RF/microwave printed circuit designs that operate at 24 GHz. and 77 GHz frequencies. Key applications include long antennas and such radar applications for automobiles as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, blind spot detection, lane departure warning and stop-and-go systems.
Astra samples are available now from Isola's Chandler, Arizona manufacturing facility. To inquire about this patent-pending product, order samples and participate in alpha testing, please contact astra@isola-group.com. The Astra data sheet is available now at http://www.isola-group.com/products/astra/.
