This has always been a special time of the year for me. School ends, summer begins and things just seem to get a little more relaxed. Growing up in the Midwest, the Indy 500 was a great spectacle over the Memorial Day weekend. I love the ceremonies for the lost members of the armed forces, the pageantry and the "Back Home in Indiana" song. More than anything else, I was amazed by how fast the drivers could drive with 32 other drivers going around a 2.5 mile track. Wow.
Over the last several years, I have done a lot of work and reading on talent development. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success and many others discuss the 10,000 hour rule. As a reminder, this is the concept where it takes this much time doing just one thing before you really become extremely competent. To me, the most fascinating part of all this talent research work is the concept of patterns. Whether or not this is a physical phenomena that can be seen in brain structure is beyond me, but the principle is still sound. With many hours of practice you are able to accomplish things with little thought that before took deliberate thinking for every step. Race car drivers, like those at Indy, due to all their practice are able to drive so confidently at such high speeds because they know the patterns.
Since most of us won't ever drive that fast, perhaps a couple other examples might help. Typing or keyboarding is a very interesting skill. At first you have to think about where every letter is and the keyboard is designed in some crazy way that makes it tough to hunt and peck. Over time you start to see the patterns and your speed increases to unimaginable levels without even thinking where each of the letters are located. Playing a musical instrument is the same thing. The key is to start to see these patterns in your job. It is impossible to succeed and advance in your career if you need to "search for the keys" when making every decision.
When I started in marketing there were incredible leaders running our group. They saw all the patterns and passed these along to each of us. Every day when I came to work journal articles were cut out, key points underlined and questions were asked about how these points fit with our plans. Comments were written on market research reports. Skill development was deliberately guided by those who ran the group. I recognize that in today's world, things seem to be more complex. Everything is online at all times and there is less opportunity to emphasize what is important. The concern is that in the old days what was being pointed out were the patterns that accelerated learning and growth. By underlining, circling and questioning key points our leaders were really showing us the patterns.
There was an interesting blog out this week that talks about the recent multi-billion dollar mistake at JPMorgan and how Jamie Dimon, their CEO, might have minimized it by digging deeper into the business. The blog says if you are not micromanaging then you are not leading. The key concept is that leaders need to dig into the data and not just rely on overviews from their people. To me it really is about patterns. Dimon, through his years of experience, could have looked at the trade data, recognized patterns, stopped the problem and guided his people through a difficult situation where perhaps they did not recognize the patterns. There is an art to digging deep while at the same time allowing others to do their job. Great leaders know how and when to do both.
The early years in marketing are often quite frustrating in that it really does take time to figure out the patterns. Huge amounts of time are spent just doing routine type work and even this feels like hunting and pecking on a keyboard. Things are just not automatic yet. Product managers are flooded with information, requests and lots of work and they haven't had the time to really figure out the patterns. It feels to them like they just finished driver's training and now find themselves in the middle of the Indy 500 race just hoping nobody runs them over. You see, 10,000 hours is a long time.
Perhaps the best way to speed development is to constantly be thinking about and looking for patterns. Talk about this within the department, look for patterns when reading marketing articles and talk to outsiders about it. To add to this challenge is the fact that the environment is changing so rapidly. For those who have been in marketing a long time this is a fun and exciting challenge, but for those who are starting out, this adds to the chaos. Having a solid grasp of the principles or patterns will make this much easier to control as the patterns often remain the same even though the race situation may change. Just recognizing this concept makes the entire thing start to make more sense.

DISBROWE, Edward (1754-1818), of New Windsor, Berks. and Walton-upon-Trent, Derbys.
1806 - 29 Nov. 1818
b. 30 Jan. 1754, o.s. of George Disbrowe of Isleworth, Mdx. and Walton by Margaret, da. of Arthur Vaughan of Trederwen, Mont. educ. Pembroke, Oxf. 1770. m. 23 May 1789, Charlotte, da. of Hon. George Hobart† (afterwards 3rd Earl of Buckinghamshire), 3s. 3da.
Vice-chamberlain to Queen Charlotte 1801-18; registrar in Chancery Barbados 1802-d.
Maj. Staffs. militia 1790, 1798, lt.-col. 1803-12.
Gov. St. Katharine's hosp. London 1801-d.
Disbrowe, a descendant of General John Disbrowe and his wife Jane Cromwell, sister of the Protector, was reckoned by contemporary observers to have been a 'rank democrat' and 'great Foxite' in his youth. Certainly the Townshends and Windham were among his close acquaintances in the period after the fall of the Coalition. He was said to have formed a relationship of mutual affection with the King in 1798, while serving at Windsor with the Staffordshire militia, and was appointed vice-chamberlain to Queen Charlotte in 1801. He evidently considered retirement in 1804, to the distress of the slowly recovering King, but in the event he stayed in the Household and remained a 'great favourite' with the royal couple and their daughters. In 1802 Disbrowe, whose large family was 'inadequately provided for', was furnished by his brother-in-law Lord Hobart, Addington's colonial secretary, with a West Indian sinecure, the duties of which were executed by deputy, while Disbrowe himself took all the profits in excess of £200 per annum.1
Disbrowe was returned for Windsor on the court interest at the contested election of 1806 and retained the seat undisturbed at the next three general elections. There was a minor stir, 12 Mar. 1807, when 'his coming up the House amongst the members of the minority' during the division on the mutiny bill gave the false impression that he had voted against government, but it turned out that he had in fact voted with them.2 Throughout his career Disbrowe was a thoroughly dependable, though silent supporter of the government of the day and, to judge by the frequency of his appearances on the ministerial side in divisions, an assiduous attender. He consistently opposed Catholic relief.
Disbrowe, who was the first to inform ministers of the King's approaching derangement in 1810, was a popular figure. Glenbervie described him as a man 'of cheerful agreeable manner and pleasantry, and of excellent character' and Edward John Littleton recalled him as 'a most humorous, agreeable and gentlemanlike person'.3 He died, less than two weeks after his royal mistress, 29 Nov. 1818.

State commission to determine fate of Planned Parenthood's abortion facility license
Missouri cites failed abortions as reason for closer scrutiny of Planned Parenthood's abortion facility

A state commission will decide whether Planned Parenthood in St. Louis will be allowed to renew its abortion facility license.
Testimony was heard last month at a four-day hearing before the Missouri Administrative Hearing Commission. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services denied a renewal of Planned Parenthood's abortion facility license, citing concerns over patient safety, including several failed abortions. The commission isn't expected to make a decision until February at the earliest.
In a lawsuit filed against the state earlier this year, Planned Parenthood alleged that the state health department is attempting to shut down the abortion clinic by "unlawfully conditioning" a decision on its license renewal application.
Governor Mike Parson said earlier this year that the issues are centered on Planned Parenthood not following the law and not protecting women's health. He cited several recent cases of failed abortions at the St. Louis clinic, including one in which the patient was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. A statement from the health department noted that there was at least one incident in which patient safety was gravely compromised, failed surgical abortions in which patients remained pregnant, as well as concerns about quality control and communication with a contracted pathology lab and failure to obtain informed consent.
As part of the renewal application process, the health department sought to interview seven physicians that worked at the clinic. Five of those doctors have refused to be interviewed. Planned Parenthood has said that it has no power to compel those doctors to speak with investigators, as they were not directly employed by the clinic.
In June, Planned Parenthood sued the state, and the case went before St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer. He ordered that the case go before the Administrative Hearing Commission, which conducts hearings and issues decisions in cases involving state agencies and private citizens. Commissioner Sreenivasa Rao Dandamudi has kept a preliminary injunction in place, allowing abortions to continue at the facility until a decision is made.
Kawanna Shannon, director of surgical services with Planned Parenthood's Reproductive Health Services, testified on the last day of the commission hearing Oct. 31 that the relationship between state health inspectors and the abortion facility had become more contentious in the past year. She said that the facility was visited by inspectors five times from January-May 2019. In previous years, the facility typically received a visit once a year, she said.
Responding to media reports that state health director Dr. Randall Williams had compiled spreadsheets of the menstrual cycles of women who were patients at Planned Parenthood, the health department issued a statement denying that spreadsheets with information violating patient privacy exist, or that Williams had ordered their creation.
Concerned that the health department wasn't receiving complication reports for failed surgical abortions, as required by law, health department regulators "devised a means to efficiently investigate that concern using legally obtained information, which was required by law and which Planned Parenthood routinely submits," according to the statement.
Regulators examined abortion reports, which are submitted to the state by law, and which contain data on the patients' last normal menstrual period. The statement added that Williams never possessed a spreadsheet of patient information, and no patient data had been released.
"This information, in fact, was important in the investigative process in ensuring that facilities are safe for patients," according to the statement.
Planned Parenthood has lost its license due to "incompetence, and for no other reason," Susan Klein, executive director of Missouri Right to Life, wrote in a statement. "The blame for the deficiencies and infractions at the Planned Parenthood abortion site in St. Louis can be laid specifically and only on those who operate that abortion facility. Women's lives were put at risk and the law was broken at the St. Louis Planned Parenthood. No one and no health care facility is above the law."
Deacon Sam Lee, pro-life lobbyist with Campaign Life Missouri, said he was struck by the lack of apology from Planned Parenthood officials for the failed abortions cited by state officials. "None of them ever once said, 'I'm sorry that this happened, or we wish it did not happen.' There was nothing like that at all. Planned Parenthood has been existing under a laissez-faire system in the past, and now they are under more scrutiny, as the department has found four women who have been injured by abortions."
Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, located in the Central West End, is the only abortion facility remaining in Missouri. If it loses its license, Missouri would become the first state without an operating abortion facility since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision.

Ogni donna cangiar di colore, Ogni donna mi fa palpitar.
E a parlare mi sforza d'amore, Un desio ch'io non posso spiegar.
Every woman changes my colour, Every woman makes me tremble.
It compels me to speak of love, A desire I can not explain.
The sound of my hopeless words are taken away with them.
And if I do not have anyone near to hear me, I speak of love to myself!
Oh the warbling of the rain!
Inside that heart that makes itself sick.
My heart deeply is in pain!
Beau page en pourpoint vert brodé de roses blanches.
Comme un prince acclamé revient d'un long exil.
Un merle s'est posé sur son épaule droite.
Les deux oiseaux siffler et chanter à la fois.
Le rossignol prolonge une chanson touchante.
Across the hilltops comes the spring, blithe April's son!
In doublet, broidered green, White roses sewn between!
He laughs lightly! With hand on hip advances brightly!
Comes to his own like a monarch, his long weary exile done!
Where comes the lusty lad, He dances there like mad!
The other bears a blackbird, piping boldly skyways.
List'ning the two birds singing together the while!
Nightingale all the wood with melody enchanteth!
Mais par sentir ung feu pareil au mien.
Dès que je pense estre ung peu ayme d'elle.
That I can gaze upon their very depths.
You ask me what I want to see?
I see my own well-being.
And like a lake, so cool.
They come and blow away.
Lost now in my grieving.
Till the night had ended.
Oh, would that it were over!
Ich tu' dir nichts zuleide.
We conceived this recital programme, or rather borrowed it, from a recital given at Wigmore Hall almost 100 years ago in 1924. The recital was given by my grandmother-in-law, Eleanor Marshall, mezzo-soprano, which is how we came to know about the recital. The repertoire is mostly very familiar to a contemporary audience, but the 'selection box' structure of the recital is quite unfamiliar to us now. The programme certainly demonstrated Eleanor's dramatic and vocal range, but did not offer the audience a coherent over-arching narrative that we tend towards today. Another feature of the original recital was the inclusion of several substantial piano works to balance the songs (purely vocal recitals were not the convention in the 1920s). However, today we will just present the songs.
Our programme begins, as Eleanor did in 1924, with three opera arias: Cherubino's adolescent outpouring of how it is to be in love, followed by Dido's Lament in which Dido, having been abandoned by Aeneas, prepares to die; and the lesser-known aria from Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride, in which Iphigénie, having been saved from death by the Goddess Diana, now implores her to let her die.
The middle set of songs in this programme are to me the most exciting as they would have seemed very contemporary and probably unknown to most of the audience. Debussy and Ravel were well-known composers but would have seemed avant-garde at the time. Of the three Debussy songs, Il pleure dans mon coeur and Green are taken from the Ariettes oubliées (Forgotten songs) which are settings of poems by Verlaine and possibly written while Verlaine was living in Camden Town (not hard to imagine, given the line 'It rains in my heart as it rains in the town'). The middle song, Voici que le printemps, is a setting of a poem by Paul Bourget and is a charming, simple evocation of Spring, bursting with Debussy's luscious harmonies. The two Ravel songs are written to poems by Clément Marot, an early 16th century French poet, and the musical style references this period while also being very modern. The two epigrams live up to their name - short, witty, concise poems - Anne who threw a snowball at me, and Anne who played the spinet.
For our final set of songs, we are going to perform four German Lied: two Brahms songs and two Wolf songs from the Mörike-Lieder. Both pairs of songs are remarkable for their extremely constrasting style, again demonstrating the singer's range rather than tying poetic themes together. We will end the recital with a song by George Henschel, as Eleanor did in 1924. Henschel was a well-known singer, a teacher at the Royal College of Music and very prolific composer at the time, writing dozens of settings of German poems, with now rather dated English translations, in a Victorian take on a German Lied style. His music is not well-known nowadays, but we found a charming setting of The Ladybird, a traditional German folk song (Marienwürmchen), which we will end with.
Annabel Price studied music at Cambridge where she was a choral exhibitioner at Trinity College, and studied singing at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Since finishing formal education, Annabel has combined a career in television with her singing - studying with, amongst others, Theresa Goble, Hazel Wood and Alison Wells, and attending courses at Morley College and Cratoule, France.
Recent work includes as soloist in Handel's Messiah at St Mark's Regent's Park, the Mozart Requiem with Islington Choral Society in Seville, Spain and a song recital as part of St Mark's Regent's Park Summer Music Festival. Annabel is also a keen consort singer and regularly sings in London churches. As well as performing, Annabel enjoys teaching singing, both in schools and privately, to a wide range of pupils from age 5 to 65.
Matthew Morley was awarded a post-graduate Meaker Fellowship to study piano accompaniment at the Royal Academy of Music with Dr Alexander Kelly, Geoffrey Pratley, and Paul Hamburger. He won all the Academy's accompaniment prizes and gained its Advanced Certificate in Piano Accompaniment.
He subsequently joined the music staff at Glyndebourne Festival and Touring Opera, and now works mainly as a Chorus Master and Assistant Conductor with groups including Opera Holland Park, the National Reisopera of The Netherlands, Buxton International Festival, and English National Opera, where for nine years he was Assistant Chorus Master. He is also the Organist of St Bride's Church, Fleet Street, a position he has held for over twenty-five years.

Choosing the right NTC
Discussion in 'General Electronics Discussion' started by Sadlercomfort, Oct 26, 2017.
Oct 26, 2017 #1
Sadlercomfort Ash
I have a 12VDC fan hooked up to a Pwm module, which is controlled using an NTC. Shown in this link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/12v-PWM-PC...le-High-temp-Alarm/835782064?iid=302358014128
After adjusting the trim pots the Dc fan stays off below 25 Degrees C (room temperature) which is perfect. Then when the Xbox turns on the fan rotates. However, the fan isn't as fast as I'd hoped.
So I'm hoping to find a 50k NTC, with a lower b constant or something to replace the 50k NTC 3950 provided. Any ideas what I should get?
kellys_eye
How do you determine the fan isn't spinning fast enough? Did you measure the heatsink temperature to prove the fan speed is sufficient to keep it within the range required? Or are you just basing your assumption on 'the speed'?
The system should (ideally) be designed to maintain the heat sink at a pre-determined level (say 45C) and the hotter it 'tries' to go the faster the fan spins to keep it at 45C.
Unless you actually measure the temperature you can't be sure that the low speed it appears to be running at isn't the CORRECT speed.
kellys_eye said:
How.. Because it's too hot and I can feel it with my hand. Plus based on the speed of the fan. I wouldn't call this an assumption, but an educated guess.
However, I've just taken some measurements to give you an idea. The NTC measures around 53k at 23 degrees C my current room temperature and the fan doesn't spin . When the Xbox is switched on the ambient temperature in my TV unit rises to about 30 degrees C and the fan spins at this point, but at minimal speed.. It's right on the edge of stalling about 3V I think, I can't get the probes in to measure it.
So I've obviously set the module to keep the fan off when it's not needed. I don't want to waste energy. But that means it won't accelerate anymore even if the Xbox reaches 45 degrees or more. I'd like it to keep the ambient temperature in the TV unit at 40 degrees.
I could do with an NTC lowers the resistance more exponentially with the increasing temperature. So I can set the trim pot to keep the fan off.. While having a low enough resistance at high temperature to keep the fan at a nice speed.
P.S I must add that even though I said the temp increased to 30C, I wasn't playing any games and it usually gets hot quickly.
dorke
Look at the description of the module.
It has two set points acceleration temp and full speed temp.
Have you tested them both?

No Award's Official Gift Giving Guide, 2015 Edition
On December 17, 2015 By StephanieIn lists in all caps, media, melbourne
Previously: 2014 Gift Giving Guide
Do you want to give a present to the Antipodean squid, penguin or shark in your life? Well, do we have the gift guide for you.
Stephanie Cried with Laughter:
Change habits now to avoid Christmas Day family drama, clinical psychologist urges.
"We expect it's going to be particularly joyful or pleasant and then we're disappointed when it falls short.
"It can be a time when people drink too much and that can loosen constraints over what's said and people can become too direct."
Some awesome Aussie charities you should give to at Alpha Reader.
They're sold out for 2015, so this is the time to subscribe for updates about the 2016 edition: The Ugly Xmas Rashie.
(Random Digression By Liz: My dad, being super-duper-Catholic, used to get really crook at us for shortening "Christmas" into "Xmas" — he said it was disrespectful and also a slippery slope to secularism. Imagine my surprise when, last year, I got a tasteful religious Christmas card … with "merry Xmas" scribbled inside in Dad's writing.)
Anyway, yes, Ugly Xmas Rashie, because why should Northern Hemispherians have all the fun and also have reduced risk of skin cancer?
Good Spender, an online marketplace for Australian social enterprises. Perhaps a bit late for 2015, but still good times.
Tiny People Who Are Still Developing Cognitive and Motor Skills
Teaote and the Wall by Marita Davies. A picture book about Kiribati, and climate change, and it is totally adorable.
Catherine the Great: An Art Book For Kids, a nifty tie-in with the National Gallery of Victoria's Catherine the Great exhibit. (Of art she owned, not portraits of her.) Who doesn't love Russian history?
Make Me Iconic Melbourne stacking blocks, because it's never too soon to instill a lasting fear of Luna Park's Mr Moon.
Larger People Who Have The Motor Skills Down But Are Still, You Know, Growing And Learning Every Day, But More Importantly, Can Legally Be Given Alcohol
Our ABC is oppressing us by not having Ready for This out on DVD yet, but in fairness, it is still airing. A season pass is $19.99 on iTunes, so support excellent Aussie indigenous teen dramas.
Cranky Ladies of History! It's a book, it's about cranky ladies, both Liz and Steph have stories in it.
The Handbook: Surviving and Living with Climate Change. Also a book. Steph will be giving this book to people, hahaha.
GIN. No Award's official Gins are currently West Winds, a gin from Margaret River; and Four Pillars, a gin from Healesville. (No Award's unofficial gin is from Aldi. Look, it's smooth and cheap, some of us are on a budget, etc. But maybe don't give it as a gift, except possibly to someone you don't really want to give a gift to.)
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow: for the friend whose brain has been eaten by the musical inspired by this book. (Liz is 35% through it, and really enjoying it despite generally not being interested in US history.)
A Treasury of Cartoons by First Dog on the Moon: for the politically active native animal in your life. Readings Carlton also sells the First Dog plushies, if you're in that area.
Speaking of First Dog plushies…
Lin Beifong pre-painted PVC kit. Because who doesn't need a plastic statue of a cranky middle-aged Asian lady in their house? (But seriously, this is an excellent quality statue, and Liz gets excited on those rare occasions when middle-aged lady-characters are the first to appear in a new merch line.)
If it's a plastic statue of a cranky young Asian lady your house needs, for many dollars, Officeworks will create 3D-printed versions of actual people, and Liz is quite sad that it only just occurred to her to sell tiny mood Stephanie dolls through the non-existent No Award store. Let's get on that.
In the meantime, you can give the gift of yourself! In tiny plastic form! To everyone! That's not weird at all!
Go above and beyond for the Harold Holt fan in your life with a copy of My Life and Harry by Zara Holt. It's so weird how that's out of print.
The complete Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, seasons 1 – 3. Support Your ABC, watch a sassy Melbunnie lady investigate murders.
A terrarium. Steph's K K got her one, it's clearly handmade, it's THE BEST. You can make one yourself, it's pretty cheap, means less consumerism, No Award is all over that business. A Bunnings guide! A guide; another guide.
No Award spent a lot of time obsessed with Make Me Iconic this year. For the tram/Melbourne lover in your life (yourself).
A Museum Victoria membership. This is only $50 for an adult, or $79 for two adults and two children. That is almost stupidly cheap. By contrast, an adult membership to the Queensland Museum(s) is only $39, but then it's $120 for a family. (But think about that, too, because museums are great.)
Gifts For People You Don't Really Want To Give Gifts To
A lot of Aldi liquor is legit good, but imagine the look on your godfather-the-wine-snob's face when he unwraps his $6.99 cab sav. (Downside: the amount of time he'll eventually spend mansplaining that a lot of Aldi liquor is legit good.)
Cactus. Or any succulent, really. "What a nice gift," they'll say, while the dread plant plots their death.
(Stephanie once suggested that Liz is the only person in the world whose nemesis is the entire succulent family, but that surely cannot be true.)
The complete Phryne Fisher series … meaning the books, not the TV series. The cactus in its literary form, probably.
and sail them on the tide
do it yourself bike lady business

The Housing Program provides housing assistance to consumers meeting criteria in Oakland County and Jackson/Hillsdale County with emphasis on those who are either homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Services are provided through a combination of federal, state and local programs. Funding sources include Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), the Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (OCCMHA), the Jackson/Hillsdale County Community Mental Health provider LifeWays, and the Department of Community Mental Health (DCH).
TTI's primary Housing Program is located in the Troy branch. Housing services include outreach services, housing search, counseling and acquisition, community-based training, tenant-landlord mediation, transitional housing (Oakland County), and subsidized support.
The housing specialists work directly with case managers, related supports and consumers to identify housing needs and find opportunities that meet those needs. The specialists educate case managers, related support providers and consumers on various housing resources in the community.
Some financial assistance may be available pending eligibility and availability; assistance might include security deposit, rental arrearage, moving expenses, etc. TTI does operate housing subsidy programs, but space is limited.
TTI also offers a Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program, thanks to a grant from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). The program serves homeless veteran families through outreach services, case management services, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, assistance obtaining and coordinating other public benefits provided by federal, state or local agencies, and temporary financial assistance. These supportive services help enhance the housing stability and independent living skills of low income veteran families meeting criteria. Click here for more information on SSVF or call (866) 787-6734.
The Housing Program employs numerous staff who are SSI Outreach Access and Recovery (SOAR) trained. This national program helps to increase access to SSI/SSDI (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance) for eligible adultsIndividuals who are able to apply for benefits as an adult under SSA rules. This includes 17-year-olds who are within one month of their 18th birthday. Youth aging out of the foster care system may apply within 90 days of their 18th birthday.who are homeless or at risk of homelessnessSOAR uses the same definition of homelessness as the Federal Projects for Assistance in the Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program: persons who are "homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless" (Public Health Service Act, Part C, Section 522(a)(2)). and have a mental illness and/or co-occurring substance use disorder. Eligible SOAR candidates must be a current participant in a TTI housing program. Click here for more information on SOAR.
TTI Housing Program staff members sit on numerous work groups and committees in the community to ensure service coordination and continuing education.
TTI is required to submit certain data to the Michigan State Homeless Management Information System (MSHMIS). The MSHMIS is a central data collection system mandated by the United States Congress to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Congress passed this requirement in order to get a more accurate count of individuals and families who are homeless and to identify the need for and use of different services by those individuals and families. TTI is working to assist the State of Michigan in meeting the goal set by Congress by collecting statistical information on those who use our services and reporting that information to the MSHMIS.
Information gathered is personal and private, and TTI ensures data safety at all times. Those in a program requiring MSHMIS data collection do have the right to request their name be entered as "anonymous." No one will be denied eligible services if choosing not to share related information in MSHMIS. Please note, even if information is not shared with other agencies or actual personal information is not entered to MSHMIS, TTI must still report some data to the central data collection system due to federal and state programming requirements.

PBS Reno Completes Station Upgrade
By Eli Cavazos published 24 August 21
Master control, production studios deploy Blackmagic gear
(Image credit: PBS Reno)
RENO, NV – PBS Reno is an independent, community-owned PBS member station based in Reno, Nevada. The station has more than 124,000 viewers and is seen in more than 85,000 households weekly in northern and central Nevada and northeastern California. PBS Reno is widely known for its award-winning local productions Wild Nevada, ARTEFFECTS, and The Work of Art documentary series. The station continues to produce new episodes of each series while reaching new audiences through its Classical Tahoe series and the station's biggest fundraiser of the year, the Spotlight Awards and Auction, which celebrates local people, businesses and community groups making a difference in northern Nevada and beyond.
INNOVATIVE CHANGES
In 2017, PBS Reno was operating with older equipment that had exceeded its life expectancy. The station was inundated with equipment failures and loss of support as systems reach end-of- life. Temporary fixes became the norm; the search for replacement part and the service skills to complete such work dissipated.
Things began to change dramatically in 2019. The technology department, comprised of Vice President of Technology Eli Cavazos, Assistant Chief Engineer Bryan Carr, Building Maintenance Technician Roberto Nerey, along with Production Media Facilitator and Studio Technician Don Alexander, updated PBS Reno's file management, storage and archival processes with the deployment of a new EditShare asset management system.
The station's six-member production team now accesses project assets stored on a 75-TB spinning disk raid array securely backed up with a 250-TB LTO-tape library. The station moved to Centralcast for its primary programming execution and formatting. PBS Reno moved its secondary channel, "PBS Reno Create," to HD, leaving behind its legacy SD chain.
As a result, PBS Reno became the first PBS station to broadcast Create in high definition. PBS Reno continues to utilize Protrack, a cloud-based system, for its daily rundown of national and locally-produced content.
EMBRACING BLACKMAGIC
With a limited budget, PBS Reno turned to Blackmagic Design for many of its live and live-to-tape production needs. Among its purchases: Blackmagic Design equipment for its master control, production control, and studio areas; a Blackmagic 40x40 router; ATEM production switcher; and Behringer x32 audio console. This equipment allows PBS Reno to produce its Classical Tahoe series, which includes a livestream of the event from North Lake Tahoe and a multi-episode program featuring world-class musicians.
Ironically, the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 provided a window of opportunity for some major changes in the production and master control areas. Though the station had been able to buy state-of-the-art equipment when it made the initial transition to HD, even state-of-the-art equipment has a life cycle. Support was becoming problematic.
"Continuing down the traditional path of relying on high-priced vendor equipment and prohibitively expensive support contracts, with a limited budget, was a direction we couldn't take," said Cavazos. "We turned to Blackmagic Design for the latest in TV technology with gear that was easy to install, friendlier for the staff to operate, and just right for the budget. It made sense!"
The decision was made to replace nearly three full racks of Utah Scientific equipment with less than a half-rack's worth of Blackmagic Design routing and switching equipment. The core components include two Blackmagic 40x40 routers which also allowed the station to upgrade from a legacy analog audio subsystem to a full HD-SDI plant.
With the changes to much of its master control function transitioning to the Centralcast system, PBS Reno replaced most of the internal switching function to a simpler Blackmagic ATEM Production Studio 4K switcher. Several legacy tape machines used for redundant recordings were moved out and replaced by the Blackmagic Hyperdeck disk recorder/players.
The production side of the station saw several changes as well. A Grass Valley Kahuna switcher and SSL mixer systems had served PBS Reno well for over a decade, so the writing was on the wall. Parts and service were becoming a real challenge.
PBS Reno incorporated the Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K switcher controlled by the ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel. The ATEM, complimented by a couple workstation PCs, allowed the station to replace Chyron Lyric and clip servers. Operators are able to quickly and easily manipulate graphics, often directly from Photoshop with Blackmagic's Photoshop export plug-in.
PBS Reno has also integrated the AJA Ki Pro Rack within the production control room for local recordings. Work is also being planned out to utilize the direct to disk recording function with the EditShare system to enable the operators to create ISO-recordings of each studio camera for later use.
The original audio cabling from the studio to the production control room had been troublesome for some time, so we replaced the standard analog cabling with a pair of Behringer S16 digital snakes, one at each end of the studio. From there, the now-digital signal was routed through to a new Behringer x32 digital mixing console. In addition, the old Telos system was brought current with a new Telos VX Prime+ package to deal with live call-in programs and studio uplink services.
STUDIO IMPROVEMENTS
PBS Reno recently wrapped up a weeks-long studio makeover, complete with new paint, floor resurfacing, and overall revamping of its studio look for local productions. The station has upgraded its studio cameras to three JVC studio cameras with FS-900 ProHD Fiber Remote Systems, complete with a 14-headset Clear-Com setup.
PBS Reno is producing award-winning content and reaching more and more children in northern Nevada classrooms and online; none of this would be possible without a talented team of engineers who react to daily technological needs, forecast looming technological changes, and react quickly to ensure all staff can accomplish work throughout the community.

I've had a bulk feeder in my chicken coop (similar to the one in the Instructable below) for some time now, and I too was wanting to incorporate a visual indicator without having to periodically lift the lid to check.
It is a problem with a setup like this in that you can become complacent after a while (speaking for myself of course) and you finally discover that the container is completely empty when you are greeted at the gate by the starving hordes.
Hunting around for ideas, i stumbled upon this Instructable published around six years ago.
I thought that there has to be a better way though, than installing ropes and pulleys to do the trick. I also don't like having the indicator upside down i.e. 'E' on top and 'F' at the bottom. Call me fussy if you wish.
After giving it some thought, I came up with the idea of having a magnet sitting on top of the food and using a ball bearing rolling down a clear external tube mounted at the side as an indicator of how much food was within the feeder.
Above is my feeding station prior to the upgrade.
1. Block of wood to make a plug to fit into my 100mm PVC food container.
2. Magnet - I used a rare earth NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) N35 which are very strong.
3. Length of clear PVC pipe - I had an old broken aquarium gravel cleaner made from clear PVC that would be ideal for the tube. You probably don't have an old gravel filter, but you can buy clear tube from an acrylic manufacturer relatively cheaply.
4. Ball bearing. My tube was 35mm diameter so I went for a 25mm bearing.
5. String or chain the length of the feeder to connect the plug to the lid. You could use whatever you like here, I used ball chain.
All I had to purchase was a ball bearing $1 (you could probably get a used one for free if you know a mechanic), and the magnet - $15 from my local electronics store.
The rest was from parts I had stowed away in my shed as I tend to be a bit of a hoarder.
Step 2: Making the Plug.
My bulk feeder was made from a length of 100mm diameter PVC pipe which is used for domestic drain pipes. I began by cutting out the wooden plug to house the magnet with a 98mm hole saw. The plug fitted snuggly within the pipe allowing little room for it to drop sideways and get stuck.
Mine was made of two pieces out of 20mm thick timber. A further 30mm hole was made in one of these before gluing them together. This is to form a well to house the chain that would be connected to the lid of the feeder.
My magnet had a diameter of 19mm and was 30mm in length. I, drilled a 19mm hole in the side of the plug and inserted the magnet, making sure it sat in flush with the side of the wooden plug. I didn't have to glue this in as it was a tight fit.
Attach the ball chain to the plug and connect the other end to the lid of your container. My feeder sits external to the coop, so I used silicone to seal the hole in the lid as it is exposed to the elements.
With that done, the next step was to mount the tube on a treated pine backing board, which I would mount beside my feed container. I painted one side of the clear PVC pipe black to help highlight the ball bearing and painted on some calibration marks.
I was at this point when I thought I would take the project to another level and go one step further by adding a flashing light to ensure it would definitely have my full attention when empty.
I had this micro lever switch which I had salvaged from a washing machine sometime back. The idea was to mount this below the pipe where it would be activated by the weight of the ball bearing.
After mounting the switch, I attached two washers to the switch lever as it wasn't quite long enough to be activated by the ball bearing.
I also had an old unused flashing LED bike light lying around in my shed which ran on 4.5v (3 X AA batteries). To incorporate this into my setup, I did some googling and found that I could do this quite easily and cheaply by using a 7805 voltage regulator ($1.85 from nearby electronics store) to reduce the 12v down to 5v which would safely power the light without blowing the LED's.
It was all then just a simple matter of wiring this up to my existing 12v power source.
Here's a quick demo of how it will work using a vacuum cleaner to simulate the dropping level of the feed.
Well at least some of my chickens are happy.
Where did you find your clear PVC? It looks great!
It was an old gravel cleaner used for cleaning my fish tank. If you google 'clear PVC pipe' there should be someone selling this. I can buy a 1 meter length for $15 here.

Alicia Vikander in First UK Trailer for Deep Sea Thriller 'Submergence'
"I want to be beside you…" Lionsgate UK has debuted the first official trailer for a romantic drama thriller titled Submergence, which also happens to be the latest feature film made by prolific German filmmaker Wim Wenders (yeah, seriously). The film stars Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy as great lovers, but with a only-in-the-movies pitch: "In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Thousands of miles away in the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders prepares to dive in a submersible to the ocean floor. In their confines they are drawn back to the Christmas of the previous year, where a chance encounter on a beach in Normandy led to an intense and enduring romance." The cast includes Alexander Siddig, Celyn Jones, and Reda Kateb. This reminds me a bit of Zemeckis' film Allied, but with a deep sea, submerged twist. Not sure if it's going to be any good.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Wim Wenders' Submergence, direct from YouTube:
Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) and James More (James McAvoy) meet by chance in a remote hotel in Normandy where they both prepare for a dangerous mission. They fall in love almost against their will, but soon recognize in each other the love of their lives. When they have to separate, we find out that James works for the British Secret Service. He's involved in a mission in Somalia to track down a source for suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danielle 'Danny' Flinders is a bio-mathematician working on a deep sea diving project to support her theory about the origin of life on our planet. Soon, they are worlds apart. James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters and has no way of contacting Danny, and she has to go down to the bottom of the ocean in her submersible, not even knowing if James is still alive… Submergence is directed by prolific German filmmaker Wim Wenders, of the features Land of Plenty, The Million Dollar Hotel, Paris Texas, Hammett, The American Friend, Palermo Shooting, and Every Thing Will Be Fine most recently. The screenplay is written by Erin Dignam, based on J.M. Ledgard's novel. This premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Submergence opens in select US theaters starting April 13th this spring.

I don't know what's worse. The suit or the photoshop image projected on the helmet. Cool trailer though, definitely interested.
deerosa on Jan 30, 2018
I like trailers from today. This one especially. How did that happen. Or am I becoming soft on films?
shiboleth on Jan 29, 2018
Yeah, that trailer hooked me a bit.
Quanah on Jan 29, 2018
This looks really schmaltzy, and I was taken by surprise when I saw Wenders' name as director at the end. He's the only reason I'll keep this one in mind for now.

Jail For Teen Rapist
17 year old boy raped two 15 year old girls at knifepoint in Nottingham.
Because he's 17 - the boy can't be identified - he admitted the attack which happened last September - as well as jail he's going on the sex offenders register for life
He had been drinking alcohol when the girls arrived at his home at around 9pm to go to a party. He later produced a large kitchen knife and assaulted one of the girls, head butting her to her forehead and punching her in the face.
The teen then carried out a prolonged sex attack against both girls. After the assault, he initially refused to let his victims go but later allowed them to leave. They fled and raised the alarm and their attacker was arrested soon after. He made a full admission to police about what he had done.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court today (Monday 23 January).On release, he will be the subject of an extended license for five years, where he will be monitored by police and probation. He will also be placed on the sex offenders register for life and will never be allowed to work with children.
DC Gary Dodd, who led the investigation, said the case is one of the most difficult he's dealt with in his 22-year career. He said: "The boy had befriended the girls about two weeks before the attack happened. He got them up to his flat and tried to ply them with alcohol. When one of the girls spurned his advances, he became angry and went to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife and flipped. The girls were absolutely terrified. I have interviewed hundreds of criminals and sex offenders in my police career, and the interview with this offender was possibly the most difficult. It was hard to listen to him talk openly in detail about what he had done to them"
"They were put through a horrific ordeal and have dealt with the nightmare with admirable courage. They are still coming to terms with what happened but I hope that their attacker's conviction offers them at least some comfort and closure.I also hope it sends a message to other victims of rape or sexual assault out there that police will do everything within their powers to secure a conviction and they will be supported throughout the entire process."
"I also hope it sends a very clear message to other sex offenders that their crimes will not go unpunished. Their actions can destroy lives and have a catastrophic impact on the victims - this sort behavior simply will not be tolerated in Nottinghamshire."
Victims of rape or sexual assault can access support and advice at the Topaz Centre (Nottinghamshire Sexual Assault Referral Centre), by calling 0845 600 15 88 or by emailing support@topazcentre.org.uk.
Alternatively they can call Nottingham Rape Crisis on 0115 9410440.

Eddie Pepperell invited to make Masters debut
For many, the first week of January is a return to work. For golfers, it's no different.
European Tour players all across the world are returning to practice ahead of the start of the season in Abu Dhabi in two weeks' time.
One of those returning players is Eddie Pepperell, who returned to London today (Friday) to a welcome from his family and a special piece of mail.
Pepperell is one of a group of elite pro golfers who received an invitation this week to the Masters. Fred Ridley, the chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, sends out the letters inviting all 2019 participants to the tournament.
The letter reads "The Board of Governors of the Augusta National Golf Club cordially invites you to participate in the Two Thousand and Nineteen Masters Tournament to be held at Augusta, Georgia the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth of April. Fred S. Ridley, Chairman. RSVP"
Pepperell was handed the letter by his father and brother who met him at London's Heathrow airport today. The 2019 Masters will be the Englishman's first appearance at Augusta.
Fellow Tour pros Thorbjorn Olesen and Lucas Bjerregaard also shared their invitations on social media
Pepperell's hole in one voted 2018 Shot of the Year
Eddie Pepperell's unusual hole-in-one at the Sky Sports British Masters - his second European Tour title - has been voted the 2018 Shot of the Year by fans.
The Englishman produced the highlight of the day with his maiden European Tour ace on the par three ninth hole at Walton Health Golf Club. The 27 year old hit the pin with his tee shot before the ball landed on the green and spun back into the cup to the delight of home crowds.
"This is very cool," Pepperell said. "The British Masters was a massive tournament for me and that shot sparked off the week.
"With the wind, the ninth was a tough hole all week, picking the right club and ball flight was tricky. I hit a really good seven iron and it never left the pin. It obviously got lucky but it nearly went in on the fly. It's one of the craziest aces I think I've seen.
"It's nice to finish the year by winning Shot of the Year. I owe a massive thanks to all the fans who voted."
Over the course of three weeks, Pepperell's hole-in-one received nearly a quarter of all fan votes, narrowly topping Italian Renato Paratore's miracle escape on the 72nd hole of the Porsche European Open, and beating out competition from the likes of Justin Thomas, Justin Rose and Russell Knox.
Pepperell joins Joost Luiten, Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Jamie Donaldson, Henrik Stenson, Louis Oosthuizen and Graeme McDowell as the winners of the award since 2010.

The Ichud HaKehillos LeTohar HaMachane (; "union of communities for the purity of the camp") is an Orthodox Jewish organization. It educates Jews about pornography-use habits, Internet addiction, and other problems that the organization believes can result from Internet usage.

Technology Awareness Group
The Ichud HaKehillos has founded a sister group called the Technology Awareness Group (TAG). It provides various services to its target market, including installing and configuring Web filtering and monitoring software on computers, smartphones and other devices. TAG is a nonprofit organization staffed by volunteers, and there is no fee for any of its services. TAG has offices in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and elsewhere; TAG also provides certain services worldwide using remote desktop software. In total, TAG fields about 1000 phone calls from around the world every day.

As of January 2020, TAG operates 40 offices in 16 countries and territories, staffed by over 400 volunteers. TAG operates 6 offices in the UK, as well as 3 offices in Israel; other similar Israeli organizations include OutNet and the היעוץ המקצועי שעל ידי ועידת הרבנים לביצור חומת הדת technology advice hotline.

Gatherings
To help promote awareness of the issues at hand, the Ichud HaKehillos has organized some gatherings.

On September 27, 2005, a gathering was held in Lakewood, NJ, shortly before Rosh Hashana. The leaders enacted a policy that children with Internet access are subject to being dismissed from any private Orthodox Jewish school in Lakewood.

Internet Asifa
Internet Asifa, or Kinus Klal Yisrael, was a rally organized by Ichud HaKehillos LeTohar HaMachane on May 20, 2012, to raise awareness about the negative consequences the internet and related technology was having in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish religious community, to discourage the usage of the internet, and to promote the use of internet filters when the internet was being accessed. The rally was held at Citi Field and Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York City, and attended by over 60,000 people. Women were not allowed to attend the rally due to religious modesty concerns but were able to watch from closed circuit television at satellite locations. The media was also barred from entering due to stated "homeland security concerns," as per the rally's spokesman.

The rally was widely discussed in Orthodox Jewish online blogs and forums. Much discussion centered around the irony of how the internet was utilized by event attendees and members of the Orthodox Jewish community to promote an event which explicitly discouraged usage of the internet. Further discussion centered around speculation that some of the organizations sponsoring and promoting the event had ties to internet filter companies and had financial incentives from the religious promotion of internet filters.

Q: Kubernetes locally via Docker: why do we need port forwarding? Trying out Kubernetes on my mac, following this guide and using docker-toolbox, I don't understand why I need this step:
Note: On OS/X you will need to set up port forwarding via ssh:

boot2docker ssh -L8080:localhost:8080

The api server is running with --net=host so I should be able to curl <ip-of-my-docker-machine>:8080 but I got "connection refused". Setting up the port forwarding with ssh solve the problem, but still I don't understand why I can't curl directly the host. Any explanation would be great.

A: The api server only listens on localhost, not the docker-machine ip address.
You can have the host VM forward the requests from the docker-machine ip to localhost with
docker-machine ssh default sudo /usr/local/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -d $(docker-machine ip) --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8080

A: On Macs docker runs inside the boot2docker virtual machine. With the --net=host option the api server is running on the VM's host network, not your Mac's host network. You can also ssh into the boot2docker VM without port forwarding and curl the API from there, then you just need to download the kubectl client while ssh-ed into the VM.
You can't curl <ip-of-my-docker-machine>:8080 because the Docker VM defaults to denying external traffic and Docker doesn't automatically set up firewall rules to allow traffic when --net=host is used. This article goes into more depth.
