New route 515
Tranzit replied to Pyerre's topic in QUÉBEC
An "appropriate number"--whatever that is supposed to infer--was probably deliberately not chosen because this new route is unlikely to survive for very long anyway, unless the STM promotes it more visibly and enthusiastically. As such, a forgettable number like 515 would not be "missed". It's too bad the tourist trade has dropped off substantially due mostly to the U.S. dollar exchange rate, otherwise patronage would be better than it currently is. There are definitely fewer people down there this year.
Public meetings of the STM Board of Directors
Tranzit replied to SMS's topic in QUÉBEC
If I'd blinked, I'd have missed the place! Place Guillaume-Couture, eh! It would have been nice if the city had taken public consultations to choose a name more representative of this district, of course, but I suppose it could have been worse, when you consider how they had to embarrassingly backtrack on Nelson and Winnie Mandela Park--the "Winnie" name having later been filed completely off of the park's metal plaque! That afterthought was so obvious, you'd think they have simply replaced the plaque completely...but no! Yes, I am familiar with the spot to which you refer (if not having paid attention to the name they arbitrarily christened it with!), as it was where the original tram line curved east and then north onto the private right-of-way just west of Earnscliffe. That oddball junction has seen many alterations over the years. A good enough spot for a future Metro station, I suppose, yet only one of many possibilities. More than likely they'd have expropriated one of the nearby gas stations or other commercial establishments instead, but, needless to say, all such speculation is academic at this stage of the game. The Orange Line's eventual course was logical and reasonable, however, considering the density of apartment buildings it serves, even going so far as to recognize that same higher population density as it swerved further east of Decarie from Snowdon Metro and then up through the Cote des Neiges district, Plamondon, etc., and then back west again at Namur. But rather than spend our time speculating on where the Blue Line will eventually run, it would be preferable to be more demanding to our local politicians like Mr. Rotrand who, although like a chameleon he has somehow managed to maintain his position in city hall through several administrations, he has largely been ineffective; unable or unwilling to stand up for his constituents when it comes to Metro extensions in his district. He should do his job or get out, in my opinion. I remember in the archives seeing a 1940s newspaper cartoon showing a man looking down an open manhole in the street. On the sidewalk are two other men watching him, one of which says sarcastically: "He's looking for the Metro."
What is perceived to be true is often more important than what is true... Although interesting points have been made in the preceding analyses, one does not have to be a rocket scientist to look at a map of Montreal to see which districts have sufficient population density to require Metro service. Notice I use the word require not deserve. From the very beginning, it was perhaps impossible to separate the political aspects of such a major project as the Metro from the geographical, but setting all of that aside, it is a matter of history that neighbourhoods change their demographic from generation to generation, so it matters little who is going to need and use that Metro line today, as it will most certainly change in the years ahead. Is one to conclude that because the traditional perception may have been that NDG is "mostly English" or that "Lachine is mostly French" at any given point in time will forever set in stone who is rightfully "entitled" to a Metro line? Does it matter what language they speak, anyway? Won't their fares still count in the city coffers? Their taxes certainly do! Mayor Tremblay's squabbles with Westmount, Dorval, and Beaconsfield, etc., should have absolutely nothing to do with residents of NDG and Lachine, anyway. Historically as well, Montreal has predominantly been a city of renters with many districts consisting of apartment buildings--just as in NDG and Lachine--tenants who would without question take advantage of a Metro service rather than drive their own cars--a prospect which has even more recently become prohibitive, in any case. The tentative Metro plan of 1944, by the way, did indeed propose a line running under Ste. Catherine St. and further westward and closer to NDG-- not swerving south into Verdun and LaSalle. Of course, the political climate was quite different then! None of this "us versus them" mentality. In the years ahead, one can only hope that influential members of the city council who are supposed to represent the interests of NDG, VSP, and Lachine will make their voices heard loud and clear, otherwise we can only expect more of the same indifference. No reasonably-populated district ought to be denied a Metro line, whether it be in the north, south, east or the west. What irks me is that the west continues to be bypassed every time some so-called "Master Plan" is announced. There always seems to be that inevitable undercurrent of, "'No, no, it's needed more in the east...no, wait, let's do Laval...gee, let's make an extension to Pie IX.", etc. One cannot see this attitude as anything less than petty politicking. How do you think the residents of Ville d'Anjou would feel if they were to be ignored for the next 20 years? I say: be fair and even-handed when it comes to Metro extensions. Do not continually ignore one area over another. Erratum: The reference by one forum member to Guillaume-Couture being associated in someway with Cote St. Luc has to be in error. My street directories show two streets with that name and they are nowhere near Cote St. Luc.

Judging by the exhaust smoke there, it doesn't appear to be in good mechanical shape That's because they fill the fuel tanks with low-grade rum.
OPUS/Magnetic Card Discussion
Tranzit replied to mtltransitguy's topic in QUÉBEC
One advantage a CAM card does have over OPUS-type smart cards is during circumstances when you approach the bus you wish to board and the driver is taking a break outside smoking a cigarette or talking on his/her cellphone, etc. All you need do is flash your CAM card in front of them and the driver generally nods permission for you to board, whereas if you flash your OPUS card, the driver has no way of knowing if that card even has any fares on it. Only the validator knows for sure, of course, which would then require the driver to watch you place it against the validator for verification. I can therefore see circumstances whereby drivers would be told by management not to allow anyone on board unless they themselves were there to see you validate your OPUS card.
Work in the Metro
I suppose it's even possible there was a rat, mice, and/or insect (read cockroach!) problem in the tunnels they were too embarrased to admit--or maybe too many water leaks. Such things do happen in dark, dank places.

We do not tell busfans to commit theft and vandalism here. This isn't amusing or fun for the real world. Don't quote this post, don't reply back. Um...kindly don't tell me what to do, and quit trying to throw your weight around. My opinions about vandalism are well known in this forum, therefore I do not need your lectures, my dear lad. I could so easily scan the back pages of this site to find "controversial" posts that you have made, but I have better things to do. Time to move on.

STM Novabus HEV 28-70X Sightings
Tranzit replied to stm_5307N's topic in Sightings for Québec
The 24 is not slated for artic service, and it will not get artics unless you start working for the STM, or someone makes a big mistake in the dispatching! If we follow your logic, put them on the bloody 15!!! No, since the 15 is on a narrow and congested street (Ste. Catherine Street for those out-of-towners), that would not be wise. That is why it needs to be used on wider, straighter streets with few sharp turns. Rest assured the first major complaints about our future artics will be due to instances where they have blocked traffic. A visit to other cities' forums will reveal their similar experiences.
STM 28-XXX buses are here!
Not so "random". A future sociological study will surely be made to reveal the fact that a certain segment of modern youth has been under the influence of a specific form of compulsive behaviour which drives them to "leave their mark" in these types of vandalism. One can only wonder what they will think of themselves when they finally grow up and look back at what they did. Let's hope that guilt will cause them to make some form of restitition and/or come clean with what they have done. Somehow, I can't imagine them condoning such behavior in their own offspring !
One thing that isn't yet clear (and which I will have to find out) is what happens if your OPUS card has a few tickets left on it, but you want to upgrade it to a monthly CAM? Using your credit or debit card, would the vending machine deduct the value of any remaining tickets, re-program the card for a month, and then send the balance of coins jingling into your waiting hands, thus rounding out the proper amount, or must you have an "empty" OPUS card with no remaining single fares on it before you can reload it for a CAM's worth? Curiouser and curiouser.
Minutes later, I saw 12-046 across from the Montreal Science Centre. Its display was set to Hors Service. My brother and I joked that the driver wanted to drive if off the quay and into the St. Lawrence! Hey, that would make a great video on YouTube! Next time, why not wait your chance to jump on board and send into the drink with a nice big "kersplash"! That reminds me: recently I caught the end of some TV report or promo for some movie that showed a New Look being driven right off a pier into the water somewhere!
I really can't get over how anyone can get away with running such a horrible system! Now, now...calm down. I presume you have already purchased your one-way train ticket to Toronto? To be sure, we'll be looking forward to your upcoming critiques of the TTC. Happy Canada Day!
Even a child could see the obvious connections which should be made, such as the 55/53, etc. Fact is, the city has been tinkering with many routes for years, and this is possibly due to union demands, "route length fatigue", etc., who knows. Lots of things we are never told and "insider issues" they don't want us to know about, I'm sure. The 17, for example, has been changed too often, in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with it paralleling the Orange Line. After all, doesn't the 15 parallel much of the Green Line? Besides, some passengers (especially the elderly) find it easier to stay on the surface rather than deal with all of those stairs when escalators break down. The 17 used to run all the way to Cartierville, of course, but somebody decided to split it with the 64. Gee, thanks! Prior to this, the original route 48 continued from where the 17 terminated at Garland and went all the way to Place d'Armes. I must have used it a thousand times! Now, however, the 17 only goes as far as St. Henri Metro--arguably the grubbiest place in the city where nobody in his or her right mind would dare to hang around at night. And just what is the attraction for kids to loiter around Metro stations anyway? What is the big deal? Is it just a carry-over from winter where everyone wants to keep warm indoors? Are they waiting for their drug connection? Kryste, I see kids hanging out at Vendome on the weekend. Hey, school's out, remember? Do they intentionally come from all over the city just to stand around, blocking entrances, and generally making a nuisance of themselves? Okay, when we were teenagers, we used to hang out in the park. Lots of room, nobody would bother us and we didn't bother anybody (well, for the most part!). But standing around smelly, grungy Metro stations with their pervasive stench of hot Michelin tires and bus fumes? C'mon! Hey, kids: get a life!
Transit Detour/Delay Thread
Tranzit replied to David D.'s topic in QUÉBEC
Two (or more!) busses showing up at a stop after waiting ages, is nothing new, of course. I remember this happening back in the 50s and no doubt it goes back to the early days of the trams as well. Indeed, I recall seeing a cartoon in some American magazine deriding the practice. Get ready to see two or more artics pull up to your stop in a neighbourhood near you someday soon! Is there an STM rule which forbids a bus of the same route number scheduled behind the one in front to pass it? I've often seen this happen, of course, but I'm not sure if this is a driver's option or a tolerated permission. Leap-frogging is common as well. Needless to say, such a "no pass" rule exists in other cities. * * * Okay, while I'm here: what's with the mess at Agrignon? The place looks like Miron Quarry all dug up and fenced off. An ugly, unpleasant place that definitely needs an upgrade! And then there's the grungy-looking Lionel-Ghoulx Metro with its fenced-in mountain of dirt that seems to have been there since last year, and the crummy-looking field next to St. Jacques. Arrgh! Can't the city find the funds to landscape this crappy public place with some new turf, trees, and more benches. Never enough benches in our parks! Why? Is it any wonder Oscar Peterson emigrated to Toronto? Hell, I'd be ashamed to have this Metro station named after me.

Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge, the first Spider-Man cross platform game, was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. It was first developed for the Super NES in 1992 by Software Creations (who went on to produce several games for Marvel) and published by LJN. The game was later ported to the Sega Genesis in 1993. The game involves rescuing four of the mutant superhero X-Men (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Gambit) from an assassin named Arcade. The player must navigate Spider-Man in search of the captured heroes (who join Spider-Man when found), fighting a variety of super villains. Software Creations later adapted the game to the Game Boy in 1993 and to Game Gear in 1994.

High Evolutionary (voiced by Richard Newman) – The main villain of the series, the High Evolutionary, disgusted with the behavior of human on Earth, believed that a greater genetic diversity heightens survival traits. He left Earth to travel to Counter-Earth to begin anew, but found the same destructive tendencies that Human's had plagued his Earth. The High Evolutionary then proceeded to create a new society, with his human/animal creatures loyal only to him called Beastials (Half-humans, Half-animals). The High Evolutionary also created an elite squad of Beastials called the Knights of Wundagore, who also use the Machine Men as law enforcers to keep the humans in order. The New York City on Counter-Earth is divided vertically with humans living on the bottom and the Beastials living miles above the street, ruling with an iron fist. The High Evolutionary's plan was simple, to turn this planet into an earthly paradise, no matter what it takes, that is until Spider-Man and the Symbiotes led by Venom and Carnage arrived. In the second to last episode of the series, it was revealed to the High Evolutionary that he is the grandfather of Karen O'Malley and that he experimented on her when she was young. The High Evolutionary was injured during the series finale in a fight against Spider-Man, Green Goblin and The Rebellion, led by Karen and John Jameson.

Michael Audry Myers nasce sabato 19 ottobre 1957 ad Haddonfield, nell'Illinois, da una famiglia da un passato non proprio ideale: il suo bisnonno, Michael Nordstrom, era stato condannato per un omicidio commesso molto prima della nascita di Michael. L'uomo si trovava ad un ballo di Halloween dove aveva ucciso alcune persone durante l'apparizione della costellazione Thorn nella notte di Samhain, e per questo era stato condannato alla sedia elettrica. L'esecuzione aveva avuto luogo nel braccio della morte di un carcere dell'Illinois, sotto gli occhi di un funzionario, di un prete, di uno psichiatra dello "Smith's Grove Sanitarium" e delle guardie carcerarie.
In Cina, nel mese di luglio, si celebra la festa del Fantasma affamato, dove è consuetudine far trasportare dalle acque dei fiumi cittadini delle lanterne di carta con all'interno una piccola candela, in memoria dei cari che sono morti. Di contro, in Cina il giorno di Halloween viene spesso erroneamente chiamato "il giorno di tutti i Santi" (Wànshèngjié, 萬聖節). Le chiese cristiane cinesi svolgono il 31 ottobre delle funzioni religiose in merito alle anime dei morti. Vere e proprie tradizioni non religiose di Halloween in Cina sono quindi scarne, e sono per lo più portate avanti da stranieri residenti in Cina, in particolar modo americani e canadesi. Sempre più spesso si vedono però anche cinesi partecipare a party e sfilate in costume. Il 31 ottobre di ogni anno Hong Kong Disneyland organizza degli show a tema di Halloween.

Queen's became the first university in North America to offer "distance education" in 1889. In that year, the Senate formalized an earlier practice and announced that it would permit arts and science students who could not attend classes to write the final exam, as long as they completed assignments by mail.
From the start, "extension" studies were intended mostly for teachers who, until 1973, did not need a university degree to get a teaching certificate, but often wanted one to improve their career prospects. Teachers dominated Queen's correspondence enrollment until the early 1970s, although after 1914 a growing number of students also signed up for special correspondence-only professional courses offered by Queen's in banking and accounting.
At first, correspondence students had to come to Queen's to write their exams. That changed in 1892, when three students from western Canada lobbied successfully to be allowed to take their exams locally under a Queen's representative. The idea of bringing university education to Canada's frontiers, at a time when there was no university in Canada west of Toronto, meshed well with the national vision of Principal George Grant. From then on, local exam centres proliferated. By 1931, there were 197 centres in all, from St John's, Newfoundland to Victoria, BC.
By about 1900, the University started to require that students spend at least one year attending Queen's "intramurally" before they could obtain a degree. This requirement was dropped in 1971, but until then it was largely responsible for the flourishing of Queen's Summer School, which was founded in 1910.
Correspondence enrollment in both arts and science courses and Queen's special non-degree credit business courses peaked in the early 1960s at about 8,000. At this time, Queen's dominated the field in university correspondence studies in Canada and many Canadian teachers had received a degree by correspondence from Queen's.

Protecting Boots on the Base
by dtrombly | Sep 17, 2012 | Monitor |
When over
a dozen insurgents attacked Camp Bastion's airfield with explosive vests,
automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and possibly truck-borne mortars,
they inflicted the greatest loss on VMA-211 since December 8, 1941, when the
unit – then designated VMF-211 – lost twelve aircraft during Japan's opening
assault on Wake Island. The eight Harriers destroyed or damaged in Afghanistan, though,
recalled a type of attack the U.S. dealt with many times in theaters from
Indochina to Puerto Rico.
My co-blogger Adam helpfully pointed to this RAND
study on ground attacks on military airfields, which, chronicling them from
1940-1992, noted that relatively unsophisticated and lightly-equipped
forces were able to destroy 2000 aircraft during this time period. While
hostile air attacks on U.S. airbases (excepting, of course, missile threats)
look relatively unlikely in the near term, determined ground attackers, acting
either as part of regular or irregular forces, have used a variety of small
arms, light artillery, and assorted other man-portable weaponry to disrupt air
Whether in full-blown theaters of war such as Afghanistan or
less-active and more secure theaters of conflict, America's large military
bases are an attractive target. Their potential vulnerability to ground assault
makes such attacks provides a badly-needed recourse for those facing America's
massive aerial firepower. Particularly as the U.S. turns away from
large-footprint ground wars and their associated operational risks and political
costs, U.S. bases provisioning air support for partner forces, hosting
intelligence and advisory personnel, and providing "lilypads" for Special
Operations Forces and clandestine capabilities may become increasingly
important, especially if maintenance and cost issues end up degrading the
readiness of America's surface-borne aerial assets.
Camp Chapman attack, along with this one, provides another important
reminder about the multifarious potential vulnerabilities in such a "low
footprint" strategy. In that case, a Jordanian double agent detonated a suicide
vest, killing several intelligence personnel at a facility heavily involved in
servicing targets for airstrikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Though his
objective may have been killing personnel rather than airframes, it
demonstrates the continued vulnerability of American bases.
Particularly as the U.S. embraces a model where it provides
support and standoff firepower to a local force doing the bulk of the ground
fighting, it will be particularly vulnerable to insider threats and beholden to
the reliability (both in competency and loyalty) of foreign forces. Exposed
forward facilities in America's "secret wars," from Lima Site 85 to today, will
become increasingly attractive targets. Even U.S. conventional opponents may
try to exploit such sapper tactics in order to strike against American airbases
(such attacks might feature prominently in the outbreak of large-scale
hostilities between the United States and an opponent with sophisticated
irregular capabilities, such as Iran).
While the attacks on Camps Chapman and Bastion may be less
likely in a theater where a country's population is less mobilized (and its
insurgency far less battle-tested) U.S. presence than it is in Afghanistan, the
fact that groups such as Puerto Rico's violent Machetero separatists could
conduct similar operations against a base on
U.S. soil is a warning against complacency. If America wants to scale-down
its forward presence and power projection footprint, it will need to focus more
energy and attention on force protection. Attacks on such facilities target
capabilities that are relatively difficult for the U.S. to sustain in the face
of concerted attrition. While limiting one's presence in a country to those
necessary to operate and support missions providing aerial and naval firepower,
advisory roles, intelligence gathering, special operations, and civilian roles
such as those the State Department fills certainly will certainly not generate
as many casualties as those an occupying counterinsurgency force generates, the
loss of aircraft, highly-trained Special Operations personnel, or diplomats can
dramatically set back U.S. operations in a context of limited resources and multiple
theaters of operation.
Not only that, but attacks on such critical facilities can
create significant escalatory effects and political pressures. While we may now
associate the supporting and advisory missions of these bases with the political
dénouement of U.S. involvement in a conflict, effective strikes on U.S.
aircraft, naval vessels, and vulnerable facilities unleash political fallout that
might undermine the determination of policymakers to effectively tame the scope
and scale of a U.S. "secret war" or limited conflict. The notion that a lack of
"boots on the ground" means American lives and security are at little risk is
fallacious. Any kind of sustained U.S. military presence will generate
potential targets for enemy attack, and the U.S. will need to find ways to
effectively conduct force protection missions in such environments if these sorts
of activities are to be tactically and operationally viable.

Vatican, Richard Ostling, Pope Francis, People, International News, Godbeat, Europe, Catholicism
Down memory lane: A brief history of Catholic leaks that made news
This is another of those religion beat nostalgia Memos, inspired by a pretty sensational March 22 scoop in America magazine from its Vatican correspondent, Gerard O'Connell. He reported the precise number of votes for all 22 candidates on the first ballot when the College of Cardinals elected Pope Francis in 2013.
The cardinals' first round usually scatters votes across assorted friends and favorite sons, but a telltale pattern appeared immediately. The Italian favorite, Angelo Scola, got only 30 votes, with the eventual winner, Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, close behind at 26 and Canadian Marc Ouellet at 22. In a major surprise, Boston's Sean O'Malley was fourth with 10 votes, and New York's Timothy Dolan got two. Clearly, the electors would forsake not just Italy but the Old World entirely and choose the Western Hemisphere's first pontiff .
As so often occurs, the Washington Post immediately grabbed an important religion story that other media missed, with Michelle Boorstein adding a beat specialist's knowing perspective (behind pay wall).
O'Connell likewise demonstrates the virtues of specialization. He has worked the Vatican beat for various Catholic periodicals since 1985, a task that requires long-term cultivation of prelates who spill secrets. (Or did his wife, a Vatican correspondent from the pope's homeland, acquire this leak?)
Adding to the intrigue, in papal elections each cardinal must take a solemn oath before God to maintain strict secrecy on everything that occurred, under pain of excommunication.
Yet O'Connell's oath-busting leak appeared in a magazine of Francis's own religious order, the Jesuits. The article was excerpted from "The Election of Pope Francis," O'Connell's fuller version to be published April 24 by another Catholic entity, the Maryknoll order's Orbis Books.
There was less buzz over the election of Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany — a powerful aide of Pope John Paul II — was the front-runner through all ballots. Significantly, Bergoglio was the runner-up. This time it took only five months for a cardinal's diary to leak to an Italian journalist, followed by more detail six years later in the daily La Stampa.
The election of John Paul II in 1978 was as historic as the choice of Francis, breaking Italy's 455-year monopoly on Peter's throne. George Weigel's authoritative John Paul biography says that comparing 1978 with other conclaves, "fewer details about the extraordinary process … have become public." That's amusing, since all historians need to do is look up the election week reporting in Newsweek and The Guy's own Time magazine, which were fiercely competitive on religion coverage in that era.
Just one day after John Paul's election, a Vatican tipster who shall remain nameless stopped by Time's Rome bureau offering to sell the vote totals on each of the cardinals' ballots. A Time executive who shall remain nameless decided the price was too high (and found such an offer from a priest somewhat unseemly). We assume Father Tipster then marketed his numbers to Newsweek. But Time's intrepid Rome Bureau Chief Jordan Bonfante and staff — whose legwork meant Time uniquely named the Polish cardinal in advance as a possible pope — got sufficient leaks to tell the tale anyway, and in some aspects more accurately than Newsweek.
On the second day of balloting, Giovanni Benelli came close to winning, but a surprising turnaround gave the papacy instead to Poland's talented Karol Wojtyla. The rest is history.
Significance: Benelli was a seasoned Vatican diplomat, then number-two in its Secretariat of State, and the architect of Pope Paul VI's policy of accommodation with the Soviets. The more confrontational Polish pope was to leverage the disintegration of Communism's European empire.
The Guy depicted clandestine Catholic governance in his 1974 book "Secrecy in the Church." Consider how interpretation of the Second Vatican Council was shaped by leaks from the closed-door deliberations for New Yorker magazine articles and a subsequent book by "Xavier Rynne," the pseudonym for American moral theologian Francis X. Murphy. And let's not get into those fabled secret archives on Pope Pius XII and the Nazis, which Francis now plans to open next year.
Speaking of leaks, how many times were The Guy and his colleagues scooped on what happened in the U.S. hierarchy's closed-door discussions due to secret sources developed by the late, legendary beat patriarch George Cornell of The Associated Press?
Concluding questions that some reporter could develop into an article. Is it likely that a more public process before the pope appoints a bishop would help prevent devastating scandals? And would more openness on finances foster bigger donations to the church?

Q: Analog signal multiplexing with digital control I need to route one of several analog signals to a single ADC input, using digital control signals. I have done this in the past using the 4051 multiplexer IC (or the more modern 74HC4051), but this time the signals are high frequency (about 100MHz) and should not be distorted or attenuated by the multiplexer. However, I have no idea on the bandwidth of a regular 4051 or 74HC4051, the datasheets I have found don't have this information.
What kind of parameter should I look for on the datasheet to understand the analog bandwidth of such a multiplexer?

A: If you can live with an off state isolation of approximately 27 dB at 100 MHz then you are OK: -

Bear in mind that RL (in the circuit above) "helps" the figure be as high as 27 dB so if your ADC input is high impedance then it's going to be a lot worse than 27 dB. Ditto CL.

1. Mortgage—Bona Fipe Purchaser—Collateral Security—Foreclosure.
Plaintiffs husband purchased a horse of A., and gave therefor a note signed by himself and plaintiff, secured by mortgage upon certain real estate. Before maturity, A. transferred the note and mortgage to defendant as collateral security for an existing debt. Subsequently, the horse not answering to the warranty, it was returned to A. After the note had become barred by the statute of limitations, defendant foreclosed the mortgage, and sold the land. In an action to cancel the note and mortgage, and for an account of the proceeds of the sale, held, that as the note, at the time of foreclosure, was barred, defendant could not rely upon the pro tection afforded by the law-merchant to innocent purchasers of negotiable paper before maturity, but could only rely upon the equitable protection extended to a
[2 S.E. 502]
purchaser of the mortgage without notice of existing equities, and that, as defendant gave no present consideration for the purchase, the equitable rule was not applicable; hence he took subject to the defense of failure of consideration, and, that being established, was bound to account for the proceeds of the sale.

Appeal from Spartanburg county.
John W. Carlisle and Ralph K. Karlson, for F. M. Trimmier, appellant.
J. S. R. Thomson and D. E. Hydrick, for respondent.
McIVER, J. The facts of this case, so far as they are necessary to be stated for the purpose of determining the questions raised by this appeal, are as follows: One Thomas M. Joplin, being engaged in the business of buying and selling horses, borrowed money, for the purpose of enabling him to carry on his business, from the defendant, F. M. Trimmier. On the twenty-fourth of April, 1876, he executed a note to the defendant for the sum of $1,027, securing the payment thereof by a mortgage on a lot of horses, among which were the two bay mares hereinafter referred to. One of the stipulations contained in this mortgage was that Joplin had agreed to sell the mortgaged animals, and apply the proceeds of such sale to the payment of the said note as soon as the money is paid. On the fourth of May, 1876, Joplin, sold the two bay mares above mentioned, as included in the said mortgage, to S. D. Dearman, the husband of the plaintiff, for the sum of $90 each, on a credit of 30 and 90 days. Joplin being unwilling to extend this credit to S. D. Dearman without security, two promissory notes were drawn up, one at 30 and the other at 90 days, signed by the plaintiff and the said S.D. Dearman, whereby they promised to pay to the order of Thomas M. Joplin the sums mentioned in each of said notes, —one at 30 and the other at 90 days from date, with interest at 1 1/2 per cent, per month; and, if not paid at maturity, interest thereafter to be at the rate of 5 per cent, per month. To secure the payment of these notes the plaintiff and her husband executed a mortgage to said Joplin of certain real estate, viz., two lots in or near the city of Spartanburg, one containing fifteen acres, more or less, which was the separate property of the plaintiff, and the other containing two acres, more or less. All the papers necessary to effect these transactions were drawn up by the defendant, Trimmier, who then was and still is clerk of the court for Spartanburg county; but the notes and mortgage of the plaintiff and her husband were not executed in his presence, having been taken to the house of the plaintiff for that purpose. After they were executed, Joplin delivered them to the defendant, who retained possession of them. When the first note fell due, S. D. Dearman went to Joplin to pay it, and was by him carried to the clerk's office, when the defendant produced the notes, and the amount of the first one was paid to Trimmier, or rather counted out on his table, when Joplin took $10 of it, and left the balance with Trimmier. Soon after this, and before the second note fell due, S. D. Dearman returned to Joplin one of the mares because she would not work as she was warranted to do. Joplin received her back, and asked Dearman to try another animal in her place. To this Dearman acceded, but soon returned that animal also as a failure, and Joplin received it. After this Joplin, on the demand of Dearman, refused to surrender the note given for the mare which had been returned. When the second note became payable, Trimmier demanded payment from S. D. Dear-man, who refused upon the ground of failure of consideration, and that the contract had been rescinded. Several times this demand was repeated, Trimmier calling Dearman's attention to the extravagant rate of interest which the note was bearing, but Dearman persistently refused payment, denying his liability on the ground stated. It does not appear, however, that any demand was ever made upon the plaintiff, or that Trimmier ever had any
interview or communication with her upon the subject. Matters were allowed to rest in this condition, without any further attempt, to collect the note, until November, 1884, after any action on the note would have been barred by the statute of limitations, when the defendant, as assignee, by virtue of the power contained in the mortgage, advertised and sold the land, during the absence of the plaintiff and her husband in the state of Georgia, without any notice to them further than by the advertisement published in a newspaper in Spartanburg. At this sale, L. A. Mills became the purchaser at the sum of $550, the note, at that time, by the accumulation of interest, amounting to about $600. On the twenty-second of May, 1886, this action was commenced by the plaintiff for the purpose of requiring the defendant to cancel the note and mortgage and account to her for the proceeds of the sale of her property.
The case was heard by the circuit judge upon the testimony delivered in open court, who found the general history of the transaction to be substantially as above stated; that the plaintiff was a surety, and not the principal on the note, although she signed it first; that Trimmier was aware of the real nature of the transaction; that he took the notes of the Dearmans, together with the mortgage, as collateral security for the debt of Joplin to him, but that he had no notice of the failure of consideration, as to the last note, at the time the papers were transferred to him. Upon these facts he found, as matter of law, that while the transfer before maturity of a negotiable note such as this was, for a valuable consideration paid at the time, without notice of subsisting equities between the original parties, would carry with it the mortgage given to secure the payment of such note, and the holder would be entitled to both note and mortgage free and discharged from such equities, and that, while a negotiable note transferred before due, without notice of any equities between the original parties to it, "not for a valuable consideration given at the time, but in payment and extinguishment of an antecedent debt, * * * if it be so taken in the usual course of business, it is free from the equities between the original parties;" yet for the doctrine that "a mortgage transferred in payment of a pre-existing debt to a purchaser of a note it secures, before maturity and without notice, stands discharged of...

A dynamic model of the frequency-dependent rupture process of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
Huang, Yihe and Meng, Lingsen and Ampuero, Jean-Paul (2013) A dynamic model of the frequency-dependent rupture process of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. Earth Planets and Space, 64 (12). pp. 1061-1066. ISSN 1343-8832. doi:10.5047/eps.2012.05.011. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130308-074929497
We present a 2D dynamic rupture model that provides a physical interpretation of the key features of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake rupture. This minimalistic model assumes linear slip-weakening friction, the presence of deep asperities and depth-dependent initial stresses. It reproduces the first-order observations of the along-dip rupture process during its initial 100 s, such as large static slip and low-frequency radiation up-dip from the hypocenter, and slow rupture punctuated by high-frequency radiation in deeper regions. We also derive quantitative constraints on the ratio of shallow versus deep radiation from teleseismic back-projection source imaging. This ratio is explained in our model by the rupture of deep asperities surrounded by low stress drop regions, and by the decrease of initial stresses towards the trench.

How M&A ace Sabine Chalmers helped form the world's largest brewing company
Published in 2014 Super Lawyers Business Edition magazine By Matt Amis on November 21, 2014
In 2008, InBev, a brewing company that was the child of Belgium's Interbrew and Brazil's AmBev, began negotiations with Anheuser-Busch, the American brewing giant, to merge the two companies. The turbulent negotiations included rebuffed offers, accusations and lawsuits from both sides, while shareholders, board members and politicians played favorites. When the dust finally settled on the $52 billion all-cash deal, the world's largest brewing company was born.
At the center of the storm was Sabine Chalmers, InBev's chief legal and corporate affairs officer, who worked on the legal and communication aspects of the merger, strategizing with in-house and external legal, communications and government affairs advisers.
"Between the internal and external forces at work, the economic downturn, the presidential election, 2008 was a very tumultuous year," says Frank Aquila, a partner at the firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, which served as outside counsel for the landmark transaction. "She was very young, had not been in her position all that long, and clearly this was the most important transaction the company had ever engaged in, and probably will ever be involved in. Nevertheless, there was never a bead of sweat on her brow."
Not everyone was enthused. To many in America, the merger signaled another sad chapter in the economic downturn—a foreign takeover of a cherished, family-owned American cultural institution. Many feared that jobs would be cut, breweries would be stripped for parts and the famous Budweiser Clydesdales would be put to pasture. There were indeed casualties. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported the layoffs of 1,400 salaried U.S. employees and 415 contractors while the new company consolidated its resources. Other cost-cutting measures—the sale of Busch Entertainment Corp.'s 10 theme parks, including Busch Gardens and SeaWorld—were necessary, but the Anheuser-Busch name and legacy, as well as its U.S. brewing operations, remained largely intact.
"We all felt an enormous sense of responsibility that this was bringing together two companies with rich histories," Chalmers says. "And not all mergers, not all combinations, work. Lawyers often fixate on the deal: How big is the deal? When does it close? I think I was equally aware that the deal was only the first step in ensuring that we as a legal and corporate affairs team got through it as seamlessly as possible, and making sure the sum was greater than the parts."
Anheuser-Busch InBev emerged a sleeker, more modern and more global company. Chalmers and the in-house legal and corporate affairs team carefully aligned along the new company's five geographic zones, each of which appointed a head of legal and corporate affairs to sit on a management committee and report to Chalmers and the regional president. A more robust panel of external law firms, which included both InBev and Anheuser-Busch advisers, was settled, and worked in concert with in-house lawyers, resulting in better training and development for the in-house team.
Meanwhile, Chalmers' M&A acumen was put to the test, as AB InBev revenues grew by more than fivefold over the past decade, thanks in part to acquisitions, including Mexico's Grupo Modelo. In recent years the company has also acquired brands like South Korea's Oriental Brewery Co. Ltd. and American craft brewers like Chicago's Goose Island Beer Co. and Long Island's Blue Point Brewing Co. In 2012, for the first time ever, more than half of Budweiser production—51 percent—was sold outside of the U.S. Where the old-model AB depended on North American sales and a few international distribution networks, the new regime focused on emerging markets in Asia and Latin America.
In 2014, the company continued as a major sponsor of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, while a team of Clydesdales underwent a goodwill tour of China. They even were projected on the Great Wall. "It was a massive success," Chalmers says. "They were real rock stars in China."
"We became a really global company," she says. "AB was very much an American company, and [InBev] was very much a company with a very small U.S. presence. Here was this amazing brand with a very rich heritage in the U.S., with enormous international potential, and what InBev brought was the network. We could launch Budweiser in Brazil, in Russia, really grow it in China."
As AB InBev's chief legal and corporate affairs officer, Chalmers supervises a 150-member legal team on a global scale for the world's largest brewer, a company with more than $43 billion in annual revenue in 2013 and over 150,000 employees in 25 countries. She and her team are the company's pulse throughout all of AB InvBev's markets, especially North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia, where she deals with matters ranging from her specialty of commercial law to the compliance program to corporate social responsibility initiatives—for each unique setting. Her travel schedule is, in a word, extensive. There are the board meetings in Belgium and management meetings in Beijing, Sao Paulo, St. Louis and so on. While Skype and email have their place, "A big aspect of the job is visibility, the people issues, and just helping the teams," she says, "whether I'm recruiting great lawyers or great corporate affairs professionals. You drive engagement by spending time with them, being with them, talking about their issues."
"There aren't too many people in the business community who are truly citizens of the world, but she really is," says John Blood, the company's VP of legal. "She is multicultural, and comfortable in all different geographies, and when she's there, she thrives, absorbs the local nuances and culture and uses that to make our business better."
Colleagues laud her ability in nuts-and-bolts legal work: the contracts, negotiations, strategies, and departmental restructuring that a quality corporate lawyer delivers. "She's a very excellent technical lawyer," Blood says. "Particularly in the M&A areas. By the time you're general counsel for a major consumer products company, it's tough to maintain that functional expertise, but she has that."
But it's Chalmers' uncommon blend of the procedural and the personable that sets her apart from upper management ilk. Aquila calls it the "the ultimate empathy."
"She an extraordinarily smart lawyer, one of the smartest I've worked with in a 31-year career," he says. "But I've worked with a lot of really smart lawyers who either don't have her street smarts or emotional IQ, and they don't have a clue why they don't get the job done.
"She's not a table pounder, but she's someone who's going to rely on consensus-building, somebody who respects different points of view. She understands something that a lot of people don't understand: that our own perspective might not always be the right one or the only one."
Says Chalmers: "Maybe it's a reflection of my life—having been raised in different cultures in different countries, different colors, different backgrounds. I've always been very tolerant of anything in life."
Chalmers grew up in the city of Amritsar, about an hour's flight northwest of New Delhi in the Punjab region of India. Considered a Sikh spiritual capital, it is home to the Harmandir Sahib "Golden Temple," the most important pilgrimage site in Sikhism. It's where her father, Gerhard Glassl, the German son of a bricklayer, met her mother, Roma Bhandari, the Indian daughter of a local guesthouse operator. Besides its spiritual import, Amritsar is also famous for its textile heritage, which is why Glassl, a technician specializing in fabrics, found himself there. Throughout the '40s and '50s he traveled extensively throughout Asia and the South Pacific, and his tales of adventure and foreign cultures had a meaningful impact on his daughter.
"I remember him showing me these black-and-white photographs of him standing at the base of Mount Fuji or eating Japanese food," she says. "I found it fascinating. He came from a tiny village in Bavaria, and had gone and seen the world."
The other side of her family tree is marked with "incredibly strong women," she says, "who were always bucking the norm." Chalmers' grandmother was a Parsi who married a Hindu for love, and encouraged each of her four children to blaze their own trails. "She ran her own business, and was always telling stories about having the courage to try different things, to find your own way in life, and in never agreeing with the status quo. She was also a great believer in the importance of tolerance.
"When you put those things together, it's given me incredible interest and respect for other cultures, but also a curiosity in how you bring them together to find a better way."
When Chalmers was 5, her father was offered a job designing brassieres at a Playtex facility in the Philippines, and Chalmers soon began attending the International School in Manila. From there she moved on to the London School of Economics and qualified as a solicitor in England, which led to a position specializing in mergers and acquisitions at the firm of Lovell White Durrant (today known as Hogan Lovells). Traveling halfway across the world made her feel resilient and bred independence and resourcefulness. "You're constantly in an environment which is alien to you, and for want of a better phrase, you're having to figure out how to fit in," she says.
While she learned the ropes of private practice and mergers and acquisitions, Chalmers received a tip on an in-house junior lawyer position working on commercial contracts around the world at the London offices for Guinness PLC, makers of the famous Irish dry stout. By the mid-'90s, Guinness began expanding into Latin America, and Chalmers was asked to move to Miami to become the company's general counsel for Latin America and the Caribbean. She was quickly tasked with learning the legal systems in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela and others to negotiate distributor terminations and brand acquisitions, build up relationships with external law firms, and establish joint ventures with Latin American partners. Tax laws, employment laws and incorporating procedures all flowed through her desk. But the business grew. Chalmers improved her Spanish. In 1997 Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan and became Diageo, and Chalmers was given the reins on the company's transactions of iconic brands like Burger King (sold to several private equity firms, led by Texas Pacific Group in 2002), and she also worked on a long-term distribution agreement for the Jose Cuervo brand. "I always had a real fascination with companies, and the brands, people and families that companies represented. The interesting thing about mergers and acquisitions is it's like bringing different cultures together. Ideally the ones that work are the ones that prove that one plus one is three or four or five."
She and her husband, Richard, welcomed their daughter, Natasha, into the world in 1999. In 2000, she was promoted to general counsel of Diageo's international markets, and in 2002, she was appointed general counsel of U.S. business and relocated, again, to Stamford, Connecticut. By the time InBev called, she'd had exposure to business on almost every continent.
"Her personal story influences her career, the decisions she makes, and what she finds important," says Blood. "You just can't fake that. She speaks universal truths, and that is: We need to be honest and passionate about what we do, we need to work really hard, and be responsible about what we see."
Like the best storytellers, Chalmers continues to add new bits to the narrative. Her devotion to AB InBev's social agenda, environmental and community projects has become a major endeavo. "She's taken the best of AB InBev and brought it to the rest of the world," Blood says. "I think that's really becoming embedded in the company's DNA." Her work with Legal Momentum, America's oldest legal defense and education fund dedicated to advancing the rights of women and girls, is helping to create the next generation of world-conquerors.
"A significant impact on the positive evolution of the world is dependent on access to education [for] everyone, but also on the role of women in society," she says. "I've always had a massive interest in improving the choices that women have."
There is, of course, down time, too. Since moving her family to Manhattan, Chalmers has made it a point to dive headlong into the borough's famous arts scene. She reflects on Sleep No More, the acclaimed theatrical production that reimagines Shakespeare's Macbeth through a filtered lens of Alfred Hitchcock, 1940s film noir and carnival haunted houses. "I love the retelling of old tales," she says. "I've always had this huge interest in storytelling and in the arts. But I'm always eclectic in my choices."
In January of 2014, firmly entrenched in America's melting pot, the storyteller landed a fitting capstone to her latest chapter. The lifelong itinerant officially became a United States citizen.

International Space Station (ISS) Will Cease Operations
International Space Station (ISS):
NASA has announced that the International Space Station (ISS) will cease operations in 2031, after which it will fall out of orbit and plunge into the waters of the South Pacific Ocean.
According to NASA's budget estimates, the ISS' re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere will take place in January 2031.
Mission control will first lower its altitude, before the spacecraft begins its descent into the "South Pacific Oceanic Uninhabited Area (SPOUA)," in an area known as Point Nemo.
Point Nemo has grown to become a sort of space cemetery, where decommissioned space debris is often brought to rest. Located about 2,700 km away from any land, it is named after a character in Jules Verne's novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Several landmark firsts were recorded onboard the ISS in the last two decades.
For instance, in 2018, NASA's Cold Atom Lab became the first facility to produce the fifth state of matter, called a Bose-Einstein condensate, in space.
In 2016, a NASA astronaut was able to sequence DNA in space for the first time.

Home NFL NFC NFC West Los Angeles Rams
McVay vs. Jay: Why McVay May Not Have Been the Answer In DC
by Alan Lepore
in Los Angeles Rams, NFC, NFC East, NFC West, NFL, Opinion, Uncategorized, Washington Redskins
The Redskins roster for the past four years has been mediocre at best. The lack of depth and poor scouting has hampered them from making a continuous playoff run. Jay Gruden has been able to amass a porous 28-36-1 record over four seasons as the Washington Redskins Head Coach. He signed an extension after the 2016 season which will make him the longest tenured Redskins Head Coach since Norv Turner from 1994-2000.
There was an argument that Gruden should have been let go to keep then Quarterback Coach Sean McVay. Sean has proven to be successful by turning the Rams into a division champion and Jared Goff into a Pro Bowl caliber Quarterback. With the success that he has had out in Los Angeles, there have been even more people complaining that the Redskins retained the wrong guy. But, if you look closer, would McVay have had as much success in D.C. as he has had in Los Angeles?
I do not believe so and here is why.
The Los Angeles Rams defense alone is a reason why an offensive minded head coach could be successful in his first season. With Aaron Donald leading the way, the Rams defense has been one of the best in the NFL and a unit that has helped take pressure off Goff. The Redskins do not have nearly the same talent and depth as the Rams to play at that level.
The Coaching Staff
Every defense needs a Coordinator that knows what they are doing. Wade Phillips has been a godsend for McVay. Phillips has allowed McVay to not have to worry too much about what is happening with that side of the ball. There is no guarantee that Phillips would have come to D.C. and been the Redskins Defensive Coordinator if McVay was hired as the Head Coach. Without Phillips, the Redskins defense would still be a middle to the back of the pack unit.
The MVP Candidate
There is no doubt in my mind that McVay could have found the same success, if not more, with the 2017 Redskins offense. But, who is claiming that Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine are the equivalent of Todd Gruley. Gurley could become the NFL MVP when it is all said and done. Having that type of running game opens everything in the passing game.
While we should be happy for McVay having success in his rookie season as a Head Coach, we cannot deny that he came into a team with an extremely talented roster and a Defensive Coordinator that can allow him to focus on other parts of the game. McVay may have gone 7-9 just like Jay did this year with the Redskins. Or, it could have been a complete disaster and have ourselves asking if we ran another Head Coach out of town too soon.

What do bees symbolize in Greek mythology?
Various Greek philosophers believed that humans could be reincarnated as bees, or that the bees were the souls of those who had not yet been born. Sometimes nymphs were referred to as bees, because they were believed to be reincarnated souls. Honey was a beloved food of the gods.
Why did God create bees?
In ancient Egypt, it was believed that Ra, the sun god, created the honeybee from his tears. The bee was then seen as the messenger of the gods, falling from Ra's face, down to earth, where she could deliver the messages from the heavens.
