Q: Current through capacitors There is a question like,
Assume the voltage source connected across the series-connected capacitors as 50∠0 rms, 50Hz. The voltage source has a capacity of 100VA. Calculate the current passing through the capacitors.
For this, my solution is S = 100VA, and so the Irms = S/Vrms = 100/50 = 2A. Not sure whether I am in a right path? Could anyone please assist me with this? Thanks.

A: First find the impedance offered the capacitors. Two capacitors C1 and C2 in series will produce an impedance,  \$Z = \dfrac{1}{j\omega C_1} + \dfrac{1}{j\omega C_2}\$.
Then calculate the current, \$I= V/Z\$.
Now the current through the capacitors \$\mathrm{= min(I,I_{max})}\$. Where \$I_{max}\$ is the maximum current the supply can provide.

A: Either something got lost in translation or you were given a "trick question".

*

*With any equation with N variables there must be either N equations , you have none

*for N= 4 variables to the capacitor impedance equation you provided only 1 "useful" values to solve for the remaining 3. (C,V,f,I)

*You are given a series of capacitors in series (with nothing specified) which cannot have a voltage source applied in parallel since the loop is not specified.
On two counts the question is insolvable or illogical, without the value of C and V. (Not just VA)
If you are trying to design a circuit, tell us the objective , purpose and desired goal and what you did , then ask how to achieve it if possible.  add to question.

The Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) has appointed MedicalDirector (www.medicaldirector.com) as the new service provider of the Clinicians' Health Channel from 6 September, 2015. As a result, there will be some minor changes to the site that clinicians should be aware of.
MedicalDirector will source and deliver clinical content for the portal from a wide range of authoritative and respected Australian and international publishers, as well as providing access, search and usage technologies for end users.
What changes will there be to the Clinicians' Health Channel?
If you currently access resources without entering a username and password, you will continue to be able to do this. However, if you have saved any links as favourites, you will need to access the link directly from the CHC website (health.vic.gov.au/clinicians).
If you currently access CHC resources remotely, you will need to register for a new username and password before 6 September 2015. This should only take a few minutes and will allow you to access all of the CHC's resources, including some newly available resources and features.
CHC search functionality will have a new look and feel. Information including frequently asked questions, as well as how to access training will be available at chcknowledgehub.com.au.
Why does the Clinicians Health Channel Page look different?
The Clinicians Health Channel page has been updated as part of a complete refresh of the Health.vic.gov.au website. Part of this refresh includes making all pages, including the Clinicians Health Channel page mobile responsive. This means that the Clinicians Health Channel will now display correctly on mobile devices.
All of the same functionality and resources will continue to be available.
If you experience any issues please contact the Clinicians Health Channel help desk by emailingchcsupport@medicaldirector.com or calling 1800 107 421.

Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge debuts at the Detroit Auto Show
13 January 2014 | 0 comments
Infiniti has revealed the Q50 Eau Rouge concept at the 2014 NAIAS Detroit Motor Show.
This sporty concept car is showing company's design vision of a high-performance Q50 premium sports saloon with inspiration coming from the Formula One.
The concept has most of the exterior panels replaced with new ones, with only the front doors and the arch of the roof pillars remaining as standard components.
The design has a number of distinctive Formula-One inspired touches. In particular, the sculpted front wing assembly and the rear aerodynamic packaging take their cues from the RB9 race car. The rear fog light packaging is unmistakably Formula One.
The Q50 Eau Rouge is wider and lower than the standard model, featuring a muscular and powerful look. Some of the most notable updates include new front and rear fenders extending the current Q50's stance by 20mm, while a larger deck lid spoiler creates air-pressure downforce.
The interior continues a similar theme with high-grip sports steering wheel, Formula One-style paddle-shifters, red-infused carbon fibre detailing and silver-chrome detailing.
"If we built this car I would expect it to feature over 500hp and 600 lb-ft of torque and through our various alliance partners we have access to a range of engines featuring this performance capability which, with a fair amount of engineering effort, can be developed to exhibit Infiniti character and accommodated within the Q50 engine bay," said Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti Motor Company Limited.
Infiniti already has a deal with Mercedes, so if this hot saloon ever makes it into production it could get the AMG twin-turbo V8, going against the likes of Audi RS6, Mercedes E63 AMG an BMW M5.

Things are starting to come together for the upcoming building project for the library.
On Thursday, March 14, 2019 the Yorktown Public Library Board of Trustees selected Rencon from Pendleton as the contractor for the project. They were the low bidders and came with excellent references.
We will have an initial construction meeting on April 8, 2019 and I hope to find out when we will officially break ground. We anticipate this ground breaking to take place late April or beginning of May.
The library will issue bonds on April 4 and close on the bonds on April 24. The project can begin any time after April 24!
The project will be done in four phases. During the first two phases the library will remain open for business, however, there will be construction going on in the children's department and on the outside. During phase 3 the library will be closed. This will likely last for 4-6 weeks. Prior to our closing, we will allow patrons to check out as many items as they would like and no fines or due dates will occur during that period. The more you check out the fewer items we have to move!
Once we reopen in phase 4, the library will be open on the north end of the building including the new addition. We will try to provide you with most of our collection. We will need your support and patience during this time!
As always, we appreciate our community and look forward to a wonderful, "new" library when all is completed. You don't deserve anything less than the best!
The following is an update on our expansion and remodel from our director, Liz Rozelle.
If you have been curious about how the library building project is coming along, I have an update. I hope to publish these reports along the way to keep our community informed about the progress of this project. Your support as we worked together to convince the town council to approve funding was the key to success for this exciting project. This is your library and your project and I want you to know how things are going. Feel free to contact me at (765) 759-9723 anytime, and I can update you personally as well.
Homeland Security has designated a portion of the library parking lot as being in a floodplain. This will not stop the project from going forward, however, the process we have to go through will simply delay the project. The architect and I are working through the process and working with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to make sure we jump through all the necessary hoops to get this accomplished. We have completed the required elevation surveys and are now working to get the hydrology report that is also required.
This leads us to two possible scenarios at this time. If we get the OK from the DNR to proceed and can get the project bid by September, we are hoping to break ground by mid-October. Work would begin on the addition with the goal of getting this new structure in the ground and covered by mid-December. Once that is done, the crew will start working on remodeling the interior of the existing library during the winter months. In the spring, the work could move outdoors and the outside remodeling will be done.
If the floodplain issues are not resolved soon enough, the project will be bid in the early spring and construction would start then also. Either way, it will take about one year to complete the project. Along the way, we will need to be patient and keep our eye on the prize. We plan to stay open as much as we can and only anticipate short closings throughout the project. In the end, we will have a beautiful library that functions for everyone!


Iran's stubbornness on its nuclear program has dominated a meeting this week of the G-8 nations' foreign ministers—and even convinced Canada, the US's "peaceful neighbor to the north," to press for sanctions against the Middle Eastern state. But as the ministers focus on taking steps against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's regime, a trusted ally of the Obama administration and former national security adviser is telling the Arab media that America can "live with" a nuclear armed Iran, if necessary.
We managed to live with a nuclear Soviet Union in the days of Stalinism; we managed to live in a stable relationship with China, even though the leader of China, when China obtained the nuclear capability, publicly said, "Well, what's nuclear war–300 million dead? is that a big deal?" The point is, we know historically that deterrence works and we know that we have the capability to deter Iran if it threatens not only us, but our neighbors. And I think we have enough reasonable calculus to conclude that the war, an additional war in the region, particularly that sensitive center of that region, will be very very risky for global stability.
I don't think the sanctions by themselves are going to resolve the nuclear problem. But I think there is an attempt ongoing in the United States and from outside the United States to push the United States towards a more antagonistic policy towards Iran, not excluding the threats of force, which in my view are counterproductive and which perhaps are designed on the part of some, to precipitate a direct collision between the United States and Iran.
But his recent intimation that a nuclear Iran is deterrable is an unusually bold recognition by a Washington insider that Iran could get its hands on atomic weaponry. While Brzezinski doesn't hold an official position in the Obama foreign policy team, he and his son Mark were staunch campaign supporters of the president and advised him informally on foreign affairs. Brzezinski "has proven to be an outstanding friend and someone who I've learned an immense amount from," Obama said on the campaign trail in 2007. That raises questions about whether the Obama administration is prepared like Brzezinski to accept the eventual existence of a nuclear Iran, and of how that might sit with American allies in the region, notably Israel.
Brzezinski's commentary also contrasted strongly with the atmosphere in Gatineau, Quebec, where the G-8 foreign ministers met and issued a press release calling for "strong steps to demonstrate international resolve…and persuade Iran to build greater international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program." That agreement followed a CIA report that expressed concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities in stronger language than recent National Intelligence Estimates had done. The language coming from some ministers gathered in Quebec was even stronger, with even Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon expressing exasperation with the Iranian regime. "Unfortunately I believe we are left with little choice but to pursue additional sanctions against Iran ideally through the United Nations Security Council," he told the New York Times.

Hey guys found a carby in my collection with the only part number I can find is C6Z F, any thoughts?
I hate to disappoint you National Mustangs but C6ZF is not necessarily a K code carby. It could be an A code (like mine). Depends what suffice letter is after the C6ZF !!!!!

Q: print formatted table from csv I want to read a csv file and print it formatted on console
This is my code to print
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {

   // use comma as separator
   String[] fields = line.split(",");

   for(String field : fields) {
      System.out.print(field);
   }
   System.out.println();
}

but the table is not formatted, i want each cell to be printed exactly under the column name (each column must start in the same place) and i want space between columns, is that possible and how?

A: Use String.format to print same spaces each time, for example:
                                                   //1234567890123456789012345
System.out.print(String.format("%25s", field));    //       right aligned text
System.out.print(String.format("%-25s", field));   //left aligned text

As pointed by Jopp, same can be achieved with printf also:
System.out.printf("%-25s", field);


Oxford BioDynamics Plc is pleased to announce that it has entered into its fifth collaboration agreement for the development of predictive biomarkers for immuno-oncology (IO) therapeutics.
IO is a fast-growing field, with a number of therapies for the treatment of cancers, in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors, demonstrating a highly efficacious response in certain patients. However, many current IO treatments remain limited in their utility due to a low response rate, and significant subsets of patients not benefiting from a clinically meaningful response to treatment.
There is a need for robust stratification of patients in order to accurately exclude those that will not respond to these IO therapeutics, as well as for strong differentiation of individual IO treatments from alternative therapeutic options. OBD has already established its position in this field with a number of robust biomarker-based predictive patient stratifications for several IO assets, including both PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors.
In this further expansion of its technology application, Oxford BioDynamics will use its EpiSwitch™ platform to offer high resolution mapping of epigenetic profiles in patients, so that epigenetic risks, in the context of information from other regulatory modalities, could be linked to the clinical benefit of treatment.
This represents the fifth collaboration agreement that Oxford BioDynamics has entered into in the IO field. Financial terms of the agreement are not disclosed.
"We are pleased to have entered into this new agreement with a major US biopharmaceutical company in the dynamic field of immuno-oncology, as there is a high need for the identification of epigenetic biomarkers to evaluate drug performance in therapeutic development programmes. This agreement represents the fifth contract we have signed in IO, continuing to validate the potential of our EpiSwitch™ technology in this space."
Oxford BioDynamics Plc (AIM: OBD) ("Oxford BioDynamics") is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of epigenetic biomarkers for use within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
The Company's award-winning, proprietary technology platform, EpiSwitch™, aims to accelerate the drug discovery and development process, improve the success rate of therapeutic product development and take advantage of the increasing importance of personalised medicine.
In particular, EpiSwitch™ can reduce time to market, failure rates and the costs at every stage of drug discovery. Additionally, the technology provides significant insights into disease mechanisms for drug discovery and product re‐positioning programmes and enables the personalisation of therapeutics for patients in the context of challenging pricing environments where improved clinical outcomes are critical.
Oxford BioDynamics is headquartered in the UK, and listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM under the ticker "OBD". For more information please visit www.oxfordbiodynamics.com.

Strong Verse
Poetry is God's fingerprint in human clay.
Flarf and Conceptual Poetry: by children, for children
Welcome, Sillimites! Don't forget to read these too!
The good people at the Poetry Foundation have lost their minds.
This month's issue gives lip to the ALL-CONCEPTUAL ALL-THE-TIME crowd, which leads me to believe that Christian Wiman & Co. must have dusted off some old copies of BLAST and thought the 1910s still had some interesting poetry left to be squeezed out of them.
Beginning things is an introduction by Kenneth Goldsmith, whose "essay" starts off with the falsest of propositions:
"Start making sense. Disjunction is dead."
I'm calling bullshit. Straw man argument is straw man. Perhaps in the avant-garde world that led directly from the most unintelligible lines of the post-war modernist poems to the disjointed madness of l=a=n=g=u=a=g=e "poetry," the refuse that is flarf and conceptual poetry counts as making sense.
Here in non-navel-gazing-land, however, it doesn't. Yes, yes, Mr. Goldsmith, we can see in your poetic examples that "whole units of plain English with normative syntax, [have] returned." However, as Noam Chomsky so wonderfully pointed out, "plain English with normative syntax" doesn't always make sense.
Nor can this poetry in any sense be said to be "juncted" (I suppose "coherent" is the word here). Mohammad's "Poems About Trees" makes as much sense as an R.E.M. song crossed with a Pollack painting. Seriously, folks. Why are you kidding yourselves?
Let's find out.
Goldsmith goes on to talk about "[feeling] language again" and the "delight" and "joy" it brings. He compares C/F poets to children wrecking things. Well perhaps he does know who he's kidding. A "movement" which can produce such beauties as "I Google Myself" (I thought it would be impossible to do worse than the original; color me incorrect on that count) is nothing more than a bunch of children playing at poetry.
When I saw Mohammad speak at AWP this year, he went on and on about how he made "sonnets" out of nothing but anagrams of Shakespeare's originals. My question now, as then, is "what's the point?" By his own admission they were not good poems. Why waste the time?
Because Goldsmith has here committed a Kinsley gaffe. These poets are, in effect, children running around the island, doing as they please. It explains a lot, especially that heated, "we've got sharp sticks" look whenever you bring up reality or getting off the island or why we got here in the first place and isn't that a boat right over there?
So in his first paragraph, Goldsmith does get at some truth: conceptual/flarf poets are children. Considering 1) that I'm a grown-up writing for folks who've little interest in living in Neverland and 2) Uncle Shelby's books have the corner on the "kids' poetry" market, I'm tempted to just point this out and let well-enough alone.
Except Goldsmith opens his next paragraph with this doozy:
"our immersive digital environment demands new responses from writers."
The hell it does. Perhaps Mr. Goldsmith has never put down his Adorno and McLuhan. I neither know nor care. What is nails-down-the-chalkboard (is there a German word for that?) infuriating, however, is that Goldsmith continues, saying that C/F poetry is attempting to solve the problem of "what it means to be a poet in the Internet age" and answer the question "why use your own words when you can express yourself just as well by using someone else's."
Perhaps the irony is too deep for me. Maybe all these poets understand that they're aping Ezra Pound in 1914. Or maybe they know they're following in Duchamp's footsteps, somehow pissing on new ground.
If not, however, let me answer these questions without having to resort to Conceptual and Flarf poetry. Question the first: "what it means to be a poet in the Internet age." It means what it has always "meant" to be a poet – that you communicate through verse while at the same time "purifying the dialect of the tribe." To use appraisal language, poetry is the "highest and best use" of language. We are its creators.
Answering the second question is even easier. You are always using someone else's words. Admitting that, rather – being deferential to that, simply means you are an immature poet. Of course, we've already covered that, thanks to Mr. Goldsmith.
The real question is what does "this" mean in a world of 4chan memes and instant distribution? "This" of course, being the whole of writing and publishing and reading poetry. According to the current issue of Poetry, it means that hack writers can get their work and mini-manifestos published in a canonical rag. If all you're interested is wrecking and playing, I suppose that's enough.
What this new technology really means, however, what these Conceptual/Flarf people continually miss, is that there is now nothing between the poem and the audience.
There's that nasty word I keep employing. That's correct, y'all. What it means to be a poet in the internet age is not that you can more rapidly act like Burroughs and do cut-up poems, but that your poems have instant access to readers. To an audience.
You don't have to be friends with the king, or the rich guy down the lane. You don't have to blow your poetry professor. You don't have to get a publisher drunk at a poetry conference.
You just set up a booth and go. No cost.
Now obviously this has worked in the favor of those crazy Conceptual/Flarf/Avant Garde/whatever Ron is calling them this week poets. I mean someone has to be going to those websites, right?
But all those folks have done is found themselves. Conceptual/Flarf poetry is the Rule 34 of literature. If you like amputees and gore, well, there's an audience for you full of other folks who also have a disjointed sense of what writing is.
But what about that untapped audience for poetry? Is it 30 million Americans? 100 million? We don't know. My guess is one-half to one-third of current American readers. Certainly it's more than the 3 million we've got today. But one thing is sure – we aren't reaching them and no one knows how to.
Why don't we know? Because we've been given the most powerful publishing tool since Gutenberg and all we're doing with it is turning walnuts into pigeons.
We should be ashamed.
Or, rather, we should be changed.
We must find what people like – what they're "buying" if you can call it that – and make it for them. And make it in the most brilliant way possible – and when they buy it, they can find all the subversive, artistic things we've done. This is art, folks. Impenetrability and flash never make art. Expertly created work can. Art is work, not play.
When Mr. Goldsmith and his lost children understand this, maybe their work will grow up too.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I have a few blogs of my own and I always look at other people's blogs for great ideas. In fact, not to sound like an advertisement, but if I were you, I would submit this blot to http://www.AutoSurfMonster.com and let thousands of others see it for free. I get a lot of traffic and readers from them for my blogs. Anyways, I have added this blog to my social bookmark and I look forward to all the updates.

No, Dudenonymous,
I can both spell and refrain from hiding under the invisibility cloak of anonymity.
However, thanks for letting us know about yourself.
Geoffrey --
Thanks! What did you (or Campbell for that matter) think of my review of Shannon?
GM, I thought it was one of the best reviews of Campbell's work that I've seen: "Giving himself, he has given us a text, a poem that points the way towards a poetry that does not serve its master, a poetry that is not trapped in thought and academia, but a poetry for the people."
We should all aim for that kind of poetry

"R.E.M. song crossed with a Pollack painting"
You mean Murmur-era R.E.M., yes?
Nice! Sounds good to me- they're both classics.
KSM, though, is maybe more like Captain Beefheart crossed with Philip Guston, don't you think?
Or Jefferson Starship crossed with Thomas Kincaid.
or Thomas Gray fused with Bob Ross (on acid?)
GM, to add to your arsenal here and elsewhere:
"For every Scott Fitzgerald concerned with the precise word and the selection of relevant incident, there are a hundred American writers, many well regarded, who appear to believe that one word is just as good as another, and that anything that pops into the head is worth putting down. It is an attitude unique to us and deriving, I would suspect, from a corrupted idea of democracy: if everyone and everything is of equal value, then any word is as good as any other to express a meaning. Or to put it another way, if everyone is equally valuable, then anything the writer (who is valuable) writes must be valuable, so why attempt another selection?"

do you know the true story of Duchamps urinal?
the one that is now celebrated isa the s e c o n d version.
Elsa von Freitag "what's her name" Baroness Elsa found the first urinal on the street and took it over to Duchamp's place where she set it up it got somehow maybe intentionally broke..
so he did a second version as if the idea was his... Duchamp and them other Dada-ist got lots of their "Art" from the women around them
then drove most of them nutz!

ADRegan said...
I choose to avoid any discussion involving the legitimacy of flarf or conceptually poetry (it's not worth it, and the discourse is usually exhausting). Instead, I'd like to follow another line:
"No cost."
"...we've been given the most powerful publishing tool since Gutenberg"
As a publishing tool, the internet is severely limited compared to more robust analog forms, and its limitations are the cost (not to mention actual costs of websites that allow a better display of work than free blogs).
There are only 18 web safe fonts--three of those are wingdings--and the horrible Arial and Comic Sans are among them.
There is a lack of simple characters
It would be exponentially more difficult to code the Clairvoyant Journals than it was for Hannah Weiner to simply turn the page.
There is a great difficulty in experimenting with text's physical forms (outside of images, PDF, or Flash, which limit accessibility) but there is also an erosion of the reader's right to free or fair use because of the internet.
With that said, I think the internet is a great tool for distribution (not publication), and I think all poets should (and could) learn to code and get their work off the free blogs in order to control the method of distribution--and create contexts that don't begin with calendars, archives, and news feeds.
AD --
It certainly is a great tool for distribution.
But it's also perfect for poetry publication.
If you're concerning yourself with "text's physical forms" then you're leaving poetry and working towards 2d or even 3d art.
That's fine (and there are certainly some great projects done along these lines, tangental to poetry but different nonetheless) but when you're talking about poetry as words and sound (not fonts and paper) then teh internetz are prime territory.
And really, you can do about anything in a .pdf or do what Anny Ballardini does and just make everything a .jpg. Every browser can read a .jpg and most of them read .pdfs (and Adobe reader is free anyway).
I think distribution is almost more of a sticky widget than publication since most places one would try to get some word of mouth on, like forums (that is, gatherings of like-minded folks) generally refer to such practices as spamming.
You can buy space on their pages, generally, but if your art sales will afford you that option, you likely don't need to advertise anyway.
So without advertising you're looking at distributing into the dark -- what's the quote? Shooting snakes in a drain with a shotgun?
On displaying poetry: While you can offer poems as a pdf or jpg, it is restrictive and alters the experience of the web environment. We want poetry to exist within the new medium rather than be translated (or placed on top of) for the medium.
I hope we don't approach a discussion of "what is or isn't poetry"
"If you're concerning yourself with 'text's physical forms' then you're leaving poetry and working towards 2d or even 3d art."
Working towards doesn't mean leaving.
b.p. Nichol, in Zygal, has no choice but approach 2D art in his poetry as he considers written language.
Additionally, once poetry is written down it has no choice but approach 2D art. Further complicating matters:letter forms have inherent value, and the text you write inherits the value of the type you use.
Language has a visual history that travels along with spoken word. A richer history than publication through the internet will allow. We're not replacing the printing press here, but the publishers.
That wasn't the version I wanted to post. Here's the scan from bpnichol.ca. I'm glad I did miss post as the two digital versions of the same book illustrates how internet publishing lags behind print publishing (especially aesthetically), but it also demonstrates an awkward reading experience. My reading of the PDF is mediated by print experience regardless of the fact that it is a digital representation. This is poetry translated for the internet and stacked on top.
Nichol's work certainly could be made to work better electronically.
A lot of these pieces fit not into poetry but between the written word and visual images -- like comics or certain kinds of pop art.
That doesn't mean they aren't interesting works -- just that you have to go outside of the discourse of poetry to properly engage them.
A few years ago I tried to make a term for this third sort of literature, but "propago" just isn't very catchy.
I know a lot of people get their dander up when I say this or that isn't poetry -- but I'm not calling it crap (unlike the work KG showed us in Poetry this month which is crap [even if flarf is just supposed to be funny crap, it could have been done better]), what I'm saying is that it needs its own discursive language, keeping it shackled in poetry does service neither to poetry or to "propago" (or whatever we want to call it).
Once again, your wisdom and dedication to the truth are exemplary. It's posts like these that remind me how luck we are to have the technology so that people can express themselves so candidly. Imagine how impoverished our discourse would be without contributions such as these. Excellent work Mr.Palmer. You should be very proud of yourself. I know I am!
I just don't see Kobe dropping $21000 on jello shots.
Nonseqinonymous --
Um, I don't either?
Fanonymous,
Glad to be of service!
Speaking of discourse, I was hoping to talk more with ADR. Perhaps tomorrow?
Also, Marinela -- thanks and keep up the good work and keep growing!
Max said...
You've got a point.
Unfortunately I had to wade through your hostility to get to it. Even more unfortunately you end with a paragraph that basically sums up everything that I think sucks about any art form.
I don't think art should be catered to what people are buying or what people like, mainly because then it's not an artistic expression, it's coldly calculated marketing. That's not what I call art. I don't think progress can reasonably be made that way.
Sure, people should be able to understand it, but if it's just going to tell them what they already know then why bother?
If people are making shit that makes sense only to them then yeah, they shouldn't bother releasing it. No one reads that, it's just an ego trip.
Having said that, although you claim in this post that you're "a grown up" I think the overall tone suggests otherwise. It makes it really hard to even partially agree with you. It just presents you as someone equally immature to those you're criticising.
Point taken, though even-handed, calmly-stated rebuttals rarely make for good reading.
But again, point taken -- I'll do my best to present my argument in a less polemic form in one of the upcoming posts.
"good reading"=will be read, commented on, discussed=poorly constructed over eager frothing
"good art"=appeals to X% of the American consumer population
consumerism=an appeal to folks most infantile notions of constant gratification
"bad poetry"=doesn't appeal to the golden ratio of American consumers=childish
childish poetry=something that is worthy of making an [outdated & contrived] stance about
because over eager frothing re: fllarf all but guarentees the eyeballs of the "sillimanites"
so much dissonance so little time
Honestly folks, is it so hard to come up with a handle? I have to let people post anonymously because I don't want to force folks to log in -- but for order's sake can you please at least sign your anonymous ravings with some sort of handle?
Tanks.
"good reading"=will be read, commented on, discussed
Um, yeah -- pretty much my point 'n' goal. If I didn't want people reading & discussing me scribblins I'd be writing a diary not a blog.
=poorly constructed over eager frothing
Jeez. Where's the eyerolling emoticon when you need it? If you're going to accuse me of "poorly constructed" writing point out where. Same goes for "over-eager."
Que? Ideally "good art" would appeal to a nontrivial percentage of the American consumer population. Right now what is frequently lauded as "good art" doesn't even appeal to a nontrivial percentage of the American art-consuming population. We can and should be doing better.
First of all, "consumerism" is your word, not mine. 2ndly, I'm not advocating for a consumerist model of poetry, I don't need to. Poetry (and all art, really) has always catered to its patrons. Unfortunately, poetry's current patron is academic, establishment poets. Ergo the art has become incestuous, masturbatory, and childish. Again, we can and should do better.
I would say, rather, that bad poetry is poetry that is not useful -- and to be useful poetry has to first have a significant (or should I use nontrivial again?) audience.
Again with the attacks on style (I suppose because you can't attack on substance?). . .
and it's worth making a stance about because we as poets need to be reminded who our patrons ought to be. Not ourselves or other poets, but those who cannot write but can consume poetry.
because over eager frothing re: flarf all but guarentees the eyeballs of the "sillimanites"
Oh come on now, use "Sillimite." It has the proper thrust.
Donny Duke said...
I understand your charge of emotion directed at Poetry magazine in particular and contemporary literary poetry in general. What our poetry is about we're about, and at the moment - and this is getting to be a long moment - we are about what an animal would wear to survive, one at the cutting edge of fashion and agnostic to any real meaning. But I challenge you to go about your crusade? mission? endeavor? without the rant and the rave, with consideration and understanding, able to see yourself a robot as well. Believe me, you're not the prime example of our species, not yet at any rate. If you were even approaching such a realness you'd be able to challenge the literary establishment in verse, verse so compellingly poetic that even they would have to publish it.
You better not be bad mouthin' Burroughs.
From a recent poem of mine:
Is my rifle here?
What dense energy is that?
It's what shoots answers,
Will not let us see the way out.
Go ask people.
And they figure it out:
If we do get up there,
Anything, anything at all,
I have to do it.
I've got to get my courage out.
I'm about the idea change.
A body without a beard,
Without one iota of fashion together wrong,
If I'm rewriting I'm writing to version fad.
We are so swayed by our opinions.
Well man,
Your opinion,
No matter how sharpened,
Might be more narrow than life.
Can you average that?
Bout time you come in.
It's actually better
To let the truth unfold
Instead of proclaiming it.
We evolve here.
You have my answer.
Now that's actually what it is,
Truth evolving.

I think there could be some middle ground between your point of view and Goldsmith's intro. I liked the conceptual (and to a lesser extent the flarf stuff). I am a visual artist (and writer) and I can read some of the processes and forms used by these poets as related to and borrowing from conceptual, fluxus, and populist art. For me the thought process to understand this work is familiar, and honestly, new. My beef with some of the works in this section are that the form/process is all that is there...they're missing the personal, or emotional, or the viewer. This is why I say 'middle ground'.
I think some extra peeps that I would have curated into C/F would be:

Sellafield awards £47 million nuclear waste storage contract to UK manufacturer
posted by Marino Donati
in Procurement
Cambridgeshire manufacturer Metalcraft has won a contract to provide nuclear waste storage containers for Sellafield, in a contract worth up to £47 million.
For Metalcraft, phase one of the project is worth between £5.25 million and £8 million and covers the set up and development of a production facility that will produce over 1,000 storage boxes during phase two of the project, which will run over the next 10 years.
Sellafield, the company responsible for decommissioning of the UK's nuclear legacy, said Metalcraft was chosen for its socio-economic commitments as well as for quality and value for money.
The manufacturer has committed to creating new jobs and apprenticeships and providing training development to advance the capability of manufacturing skills. It will also build a new facility in West Cumbria for the finishing of boxes for the phase two contract. Metalcraft will supply high-integrity stainless steel storage containers for nuclear waste. The three metre cube boxes will provide safe and secure storage for waste retrieved from the Pile Fuel Cladding Silo on the Sellafield site.
Sellafield managing director Paul Foster said: "We recognise that how we work with our supply chain can and should play a fundamental part in supporting socio-economic growth and ensuring that we remain the backbone of the community. Our investment in education, skills and infrastructure must be felt in West Cumbria and the wider UK economy."
Sellafield said it has worked in close partnership with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and central government to put more socio-economic emphasis into the procurement process.
"By running a procurement which includes measurable socio-economic expectations right from the start we will be better placed to ensure that we add as much value as we can in this area, while still delivering on what is a vital decommissioning programme," Foster said.

Sandy Alderson Had Cancer Surgery
May 17, 2016 May 17, 2016 Mark Berman 0 Comments
Sandy Alderson revealed Tuesday that he had cancer surgery last Wednesday and is on "a road to full recovery" from the disease.
Sandy Alderson addresses media Tuesday.
"The surgery was preplanned," Alderson said, according to ESPN New York. "It was part of an overall strategy that was devised by my doctors early in December. The surgery followed a very successful regime of chemotherapy. The surgery itself was, I'm going to say, fantastically successful. The doctors were able to do everything they had hoped to do and were able to avoid everything they hoped to avoid. So, from that standpoint, everything worked out extremely well."
That Alderson waited a week to make this announcement should not be a surprise; everything about his diagnosis has been hush-hush, even the type of cancer he has.
"It's not because I'm trying to be cute or evasive, but there's a certain amount of information that is mine only," Alderson said. "Rather than throwing everything out there and creating even more speculation — not in terms of me, but the speculation as it relates to the population, etc., etc., I just decided not to go there. By making myself visible, by talking about it to the extent that I have, my goal is to make sure that everybody is comfortable with where I am and what they believe is my physical situation. I feel an obligation to the Mets. And I feel an obligation to the fans. And if I didn't feel that I could discharge that obligation, I'd follow a different course.
"Really the only reason for having to talk about this at this point is that there has been some speculation, and I wanted to make sure that was put to rest."
As far as baseball, Sandy Alderson's deputies have been handling some of his responsibilities, but Alderson is not all removed from the operation.
"I expect to be here some portion of virtually every day. I'm in daily contact with ownership as well as the baseball-operations department and anyone else who needs access to me, other than perhaps the media. So everything is going very well."

Pictured here with our students are: (second from left) Marina Stipanac, Mentorship Program Volunteer, and (centre, L to R) Penny Carkner and Darlene Villeneuve, Youville Centre alumnae.
April's Lunch & Learn event brought two former Youville graduates back to the centre to speak to our students. Organized by Mentorship Program Volunteer Marina Stipanac, the lunch was a great success and a chance for current students to connect with alumnae, and to be inspired by their stories.
First to speak was Penny Carkner, who currently works as a Retail Manager at Rexall. Having graduated in 1990, Penny was in the second graduating class in Youville's history, and she told our current students that the first graduating class inspired her: "That set in motion the dreams I had to move forward", she said. After Youville Centre, she went on to college, and started working at Wal-Mart. She moved up to Assistant Manager there and with this promotion she was able to travel for work. Penny worked at Wal-Mart for 13 years and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. "Don't overlook retail as a career", she told the students. "There are opportunities for management, merchandising and other corporate roles." Now at Rexall, Penny loves her job and she loves her customers. She is a homeowner, and is married with another child. Her son who attended Youville Centre as a child, won our Second Generation Bursary in 2009, and is now a licensed mechanic working for OCTranspo. Penny admitted that she has had her ups and downs, but that she feels confident that she's doing well.
Next to share her story with Youville's young moms was Darlene Villeneuve, a Youville Centre graduate from the Class of 1993, and currently an Educational Assistant with the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Darlene was at Youville Centre for two years and some of her fondest memories involve learning to cook and helping in the kitchen. She thanks Youville Centre for setting her upon a positive path towards her dreams: "Thank God for Youville", she said.
Darlene set upon the path to achieve her dream, and along the way she attended college, volunteered with children, studied graphic arts and computer technology. It was her aptitude with computers that got her in the door at the school board.
It was a wonderful chance for Youville students past and present to connect at this Lunch & Learn. If you are a Youville Centre graduate and you'd like to become involved with Youville Centre again in some way, please contact us at communications@youvillecentre.org or (613) 231-5150 Ext. 128. We'd love to hear from you!


Suburban Philadelphia includes some world-famous shopping opportunities, as well as some hidden Main Street gems. Here are six shopping sites you should experience when you visit Philadelphia and South Jersey, all within an hour of Center City.
The King of Prussia Mall (sometimes called "K of P" or "K.O.P." by locals) is expansive. Going by retail space, it is America's largest shopping mall. The mall is divided into two sections: the court and the plaza, connected by a breezeway. Visitors should expect to spend at least an entire day at the mall.
Additionally, this shopping location is upscale, and some people consider it a true event to go there. You'll feel a bit under-dressed in jeans and a T-shirt. Parking is free; valet parking is also available near Neiman Marcus.
If you plan on visiting, check out the mall's website and download a map.
Willow Grove Park Mall (locally referred to as "Willow Grove Mall") sits on a historical location, as evidenced by the functioning carousel in the mall. This mall provides an inclusive shopping experience with stores offering both the kitschy and the upscale. It features a full parking garage. A complete mall trip takes approximately five to seven hours. Parking is free.
Located in South Jersey, this mall is actually closer to some parts of Philadelphia than the listed Pennsylvania malls. Renovated in 2011, the mall features open spaces and kiosk shopping. Prior to that, it had a bad reputation, and as a result, it's often less crowded than other area malls despite its makeover. If you happen to be in the area on Black Friday, this is the place to go for the least crowds and best deals. Parking is free.
Additional malls worth checking out include Philadelphia Mills Mall, Deptford Mall (New Jersey), and Plymouth Meeting Mall.
You might find this Main Street shopping area familiar -- it was featured in the movie "Signs." This is an ideal shopping location for antiquers. It's also a hot spot for used books and music shopping and features several food specialty stores. It's a family-friendly location. Plan a few hours for shopping, but add some time for dining and observing the historical homes located here. Bring quarters for metered parking.
Founded as an artists' colony, you'll find many crafts in that tradition. Additionally, New Hope is a haven for the LGBT community, bikers, free spirits, and pagans. Restaurants and other activities are interspersed throughout the shopping area. This is a great place to shop if you don't really want to plan your day out. Though some of the shops are open late, daytime shopping is recommended, as the night crowd tends to come out primarily for plays, drinks, and dining.
Located in Mount Holly, New Jersey, Mill Race Village focuses on the arts. If you're in the market for quilts, jewelry, a gift for your pet, an antique treasure, ghost-hunting equipment, or an edgy new style, this is the place for you. The variety of shops here is personal and eclectic. Parking is free, though shop hours are limited. If you're staying all day, be sure to check out the village's own simulated séance experience (reservations required).
Additionally, Mill Race Village hosts multiple special events each year, including the famous Witches Ball.
Whether you're interested in planning a trip to a large mall or shopping riverside, the Philadelphia area offers a serious shopping experience for any traveler.
This article was originally published on the Yahoo Contributor Network.
Stress-free wedding dress shopping might seem like a dream, but it is possible to enjoy the experience of shopping for your wedding dress in South Jersey. You can achieve this through planning, patience and maintaining an assertive attitude when necessary.
If you're meeting friends at various bridal salons, provide them with a list of addresses to stay on track. Organize a car pool and ensure that everyone has a GPS or knows how to get to the locations.
Each bridal salon has its own rules. Frequent rules include: supervise children, no food or drink and no photos allowed of dresses. Always follow the rules and don't invite anyone along that may break these rules.
Bridal salon consultants vary, just like salon rules. If you feel uncomfortable, mistreated or misdirected, you're the customer—and you're allowed to leave if you don't feel you're being treated with respect.
To cut down on stress and make best use of your time, call ahead to make appointments. It is kind to let the salon know how many will come with you and what types of dresses you are looking for.
You may also wish to mention if you or anyone in your bridal party wears a plus size. Prepare everyone for the fact that bridal sizes are much different than actual sizes and that a 'regular' size 12 might have difficulty fitting into any sample sizes.
Tip: Holding down a full-time job while planning a wedding is tough. Instead of cramming this important decision into a lunch hour, explain your situation to the salon consultant and mention a particular dress you'd like to try on that isn't available elsewhere. Most likely, they'll squeeze you in.
Limit your party size. If possible, limit to the number of people that can fit in one vehicle, especially if you are making multiple trips. Make concessions for older relatives and children who may not be able to make more than a few stops in one day.
It's best to pick a driver who knows South Jersey well. You're the bride—let someone else handle the GPS navigation!
Do you have any favorite South Jersey bridal salons or dress shopping experiences? Please share them in the comments!
The secret's out: Kate Middleton's wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton in the Alexander McQueen tradition. South Jersey brides wishing to emulate the fashionable, critic-favored design have several options for a Kate-inspired dress.
While dresses with long sleeves aren't the norm, here's a bridal fashion secret: boutiques and tailors can adapt most sleeveless dresses to include light sleeves.
Some religious institutions require a bride to wear a modest wedding gown, so this request is not as uncommon as you may think. However, the Duchess of Cambridge has created a trend--so expect to see more dresses with lace sleeves and other embellishments in stock soon.
Did you enjoy the elegant train on Kate's dress? Brides planning an Atlantic City beach wedding should take note of Kate's sister, Pippa. Pippa dutifully performed her maid of honor obligations by minding the train of her sister's dress.
While wedding dresses are cleaned before they are preserved, the maid of honor can prevent dirt and sand from clinging to the bride's dress in excess--especially during a beach wedding--by assisting the bride with her train when she moves.
Are you ready to emulate Kate's look? The following local boutiques can help!

These deviled eggs were inspired by the ones at Oleana, in Cambridge—best deviled eggs I've ever had. There, Chef Ana Sortun folds boiled eggs with oil-packed tuna, olives, diced tomatoes, parsley, and tons of good olive oil. It's the flavors of a Niçoise salad in a bite-sized snack.
Place all of the yolks in a medium bowl. Add tuna, parsley, olives, tomato, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and using a rubber spatula, gently fold until combined.
Filling and egg white halves can be stored covered in the refrigerator up to overnight before filling and serving (lay egg white halves cut-side-down on a large plate and cover with plastic wrap). To serve, spoon filling into egg white halves. Garnish with more parsley and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

Q: Regex password validation needs just one more adjustment I have an expression that is close to what I need it's just missing my "no adjacent number" rule
^.(.).\1.*$
abcdef1 is allowed
abcdef1g2 is allowed
abcdef12 is NOT allowed (but my current expression allows this)
The password rules are:
Cannot have adjacent numbers
The same number cannot be repeated anywhere in the password
No repeating characters anywhere in the password
[edit]I am not sure what language it is using - I can tell you I am testing it with what looks like JavaScript (http://gskinner.com/RegExr/).  I am using it in a windows application (Tools4Ever - E-SSOM) that is for Single Sign on

A: You can confirm that this does not match:
\d\d|(.).*(\1)

It may be better/easier to not use regex to do this validation though, as checking a unique character list is pretty easy to do.  I'm also of the philosophy that you shouldn't put restrictions on what users want for their passwords.

Q: ios OpenCV increases the image size Below is code for converting UIImage to cv::Mat
+ (cv::Mat)cvMatFromUIImage:(UIImage *)image {

    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGImageGetColorSpace(image.CGImage);
    CGFloat cols, rows;

    if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationLeft || image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationRight) {
        cols = image.size.height;
        rows = image.size.width;

    }

    cv::Mat cvMat(rows, cols, CV_8UC4); // 8 bits per component, 4 channels
    CGContextRef contextRef = CGBitmapContextCreate(cvMat.data,             // Pointer to backing data
                                                cols,                       // Width of bitmap

                                    false,                                          // Should interpolate
                                    kCGRenderingIntentDefault);                     // Intent

    CGImageRelease(imageRef);
    CGDataProviderRelease(provider);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
    return image;
}

I convert a 1080*1920 (1.5 mb) of image  to cv::Mat after some preprocessing i convert it to UIImage which gives me image of size 2517 * 1527(6 mb)
I don't want to increase the image size even after image processing. Please guide me where i am doing wrong
//Crop Action
 cv::Mat undistorted = cv::Mat( cvSize(maxWidth,maxHeight), CV_8UC4);
cv::Mat original = [MMOpenCVHelper cvMatFromUIImage:_adjustedImage];

cv::warpPerspective(original, undistorted, cv::getPerspectiveTransform(src, dst), cvSize(maxWidth, maxHeight));

A: Your code is not resizing the image. It must be an unintended side effect of the  preprocessing which you don't detail here.
 UIImage* image = self.testImage;
 NSLog(@"original UIImage: %.0f %.0f", image.size.width,image.size.height);

 cv::Mat matImage = [self cvMatFromUIImage:image];
 NSLog(@"cv matImage: %d %d", matImage.cols,matImage.rows);

 UIImage* newImage = [self UIImageFromCVMat:matImage];
 NSLog(@"new UIImage: %.0f %.0f", newImage.size.width,newImage.size.height);

original UIImage: 720 960
     cv matImage: 720 960
     new UIImage: 720 960

edit
following your expanded question, it looks as if the output of warpPerspective is sized to cvSize(maxWidth,maxHeight) - so that is the size you will get. If you want to end up with the input size, you can resize()  before converting back to UIImage. Or simply set the output mat to the same size as the input.

Katherine Waterston Is All For An 'Alien 3' Film But Ridley Scott Wants To Evolve
By Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire	 Sep 27, 2020 at 11:07am
20th Century Fox Licensing/Merchandising / Everett Collection
Originally Published by:
Katherine Waterston was one of the darlings of the brief (and nearly concluded) fall festival season, with her stirring turn in Venice premiere The World to Come and her role in the HBO miniseries The Third Day, which bowed in Toronto. The role that continues to follow her, however, is that of a Ripley-esque space commander in Ridley Scott's 2017 Alien: Covenant. While promoting The Third Day in a recent interview with The Playlist, Waterston addressed her place in the future of the franchise.
Would she do another Alien film? "In a heartbeat. I loved working with Ridley and I loved playing that part. I hope we can! I would love it! I hope she's still alive!" Waterston said. (At the end of Covenant, Waterston's character is in stasis, trapped and asleep in an escape pod after being lured by Michael Fassbender's David.)
Unfortunately, Ridley Scott said recently in an interview with Forbes that he's unlikely to revisit the world set up by 2012's Prometheus as well as Alien: Covenant. He did confirm that a new Alien outing is in the works.
"That's in process. We went down a route to try and reinvent the wheel with 'Prometheus' and 'Covenant,'" he said. "Whether or not we go directly back to that is doubtful because 'Prometheus' woke it up very well. But you know, you're asking fundamental questions like, 'Has the Alien himself, the face-hugger, the chest-burster, have they all run out of steam? Do you have to rethink the whole bloody thing and simply use the word to franchise?' That's always the fundamental question."
Earlier this year, Scott shared similar sentiments with the Los Angeles Times. "I still think there's a lot of mileage in 'Alien,' but I think you'll have to now re-evolve," Scott said. "What I always thought when I was making it, the first one, why would a creature like this be made and why was it traveling in what I always thought was a kind of war-craft, which was carrying a cargo of these eggs. What was the purpose of the vehicle and what was the purpose of the eggs? That's the thing to question — who, why, and for what purpose is the next idea, I think."
Along with the ongoing The Third Day, Waterston is next set to appear in the romantic sci-fi thriller Fluidic, as well as the third entry in the Fantastic Beasts film series. The World to Come, a devastating lesbian romance set in the 19th-century American frontier, was recently acquired for U.S. distribution by Bleecker Street.

Q: I want to know to create a secure certificate for my UWP Project in Visual Studio 2017 I have an UWP project, the certificate that I created was the option of Test Certificate that expire in 1 year. I package the app and the app security certificate say "Approved". When I send the .appxbundle to my friend because he wanted to test my app, the installer said "The certificate is not trusted Error (0x800B0109).

A: In order to side load an app, the machine needs to have trust for the certificate from the app developer (assuming side-loading is enabled in settings).
When you package your app within VS, there's usually a PowerShell script next to the deployment package.  If they use that script, it should prompt to install the certificate as well.
Otherwise, they can manually import the certificate to their Trusted People store in order to install the appx.


Do you get bitter or better when you get hurt or disappointed by loved ones? The church? Friends?
Getting bitter or better depends on whether you love the world or love God. In other words, are you living for this world or for the world to come?
Jesus will never disappoint us. We will never be alone because the Lord will stand with us.
Jesus came to this world to save us and we crucified Him. He did not get bitter with us as He was doing His Father's will.
In the same way, we can be in the middle of God's will and He permits someone to hurt us. Should we get bitter? Absolutely not! God knows what He's doing. And His ways are much, much better than ours.
I want to challenge you to get better when you get hurt or disappointed by someone or something.

CMI Inaugurates MiRIS: Europe's Largest Industrial Energy Storage Pilot Plant
Updated: October 26, 2018 8:21 AM EDT
CMI Energy's MiRIS project will be integrated with the CMI Group's headquarters complex to allow its engineers to perform detailed analysis of renewable integration with energy storageBusiness Wire
SERAING, Belgium — CMI Energy, part of CMI Group, will be inaugurating Europe's largest industrial energy storage facility on October 26, 2018. The MiRIS (Micro Réseau Intégré Seraing) energy storage pilot plant consists of energy storage and PV integrated with a microgrid. The purpose of the full-scale pilot project is to demonstrate advanced integration of intermittent renewable energy resources with battery-based energy storage to produce a fully dispatchable renewable energy resource. MiRIS is located at the CMI Group's international headquarters, located in Seraing (Belgium).
Jean-Michel Gheeraerdts, President of CMI Energy, when announcing the MiRIS project said, "We now have ways to use green energy sources that eradicate their major flaw: intermittent production. Energy storage and management can be applied in a number of fields as an alternative to diesel generators for unconnected regions, as a way of deferring investment in parts of the network, as a means of optimizing existing photovoltaic or wind systems, and as an enabler of participation in the primary or secondary reserve markets."
MiRIS consists of renewable and energy storage systems. The renewable part includes a 2 MWp, 1.75 GWh/yr., photovoltaic system with 6,500 roof top and carport panels. The 4.2MWh energy storage part consists of a lithium-ion battery system and two different flow battery systems. The technology showcase interconnects with the building's electrical network and its DSO 15kV distribution service connection. The existing facility consumes approximately 1.3 GWh/yr.
MiRIS will facilitate investigation of the interoperability of renewables and different energy storage technologies for a variety of user energy profiles, particularly with respect to renewable energy time shifting and energy resale to the grid. MiRIS will also enable evaluation of microgrid "islanding" operation, potential grid ancillary service opportunities, and the influence of user demand response.
CMI Energy, is part of CMI, Cockerill Maintenance & Ingénierie, based in Belgium and founded in 1817. With turnover of almost €1 billion, CMI employs over 5,500 individuals worldwide. CMI Energy is an international supplier of HRSGs, industrial boilers and steam generators for concentrated solar power with thermal storage.
