Breunig  ABSTRACT A day-night mirror for a vehicle, photo-electrically controlled in response to light directed from rearwardly of the vehicle and to ambient light, impinging respectively on photocells which via capacitive coupling control the motion of a reversible motor, in the form of a bifilar solenoid, so that only a change in status of the photocells is communicated to the motor in the form of a pulse leaving the motor to be freely actuated manually absent such a pulse, and also reducing current drain in the system.
8 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures 1/ NANUQL.
both applications being assigned to the assignee of this application.
In the prior Brean application a photocell which senses ambient light and another photocell which senses light arriving from rearwardly of a vehicle cooperate to control a transistor circuit, which directly, i.e., not via relays, controls a motor which modifies the attitude of a mirror with respect to a pane of glass. The latter is so oriented that it reflects light to the eyes of a driver of the vehicle at all times. A pane of glass, when uncoated, reflects only a small fraction of the light impinging thereon, so that if the mirror is so oriented that it does not reflect light toward the eyes of the driver, the driver can view rearwardly of the vehicle without glare. If the mirror is oriented in a plane parallel to the plane of the pane of glass, it becomes the primary reflecting surface viewed by the driver, the pane of glass being relatively of minor effect, and the optical system composed of the pane of glass and the mirror are then suitable for night driving.
In the Jordan et al. application, supra, ambient sensing and rearward looking photoelectric cells are dc coupled to a solenoid which drives the mirror to its alternate orientations via transistor circuitry, including power transistors, one of which is rendered conductive to drive the solenoid in one sense, and the other of which is rendered conductive to drive the solenoid in the opposite sense. One or the other power transistor is then always energized, the overall system being bistable. The mirror can then not be readily normally moved from the orientation called for by the status of the photoce'lls, and if so moved tends to move back when released. The system involves a continuous and substantial current drain through the solenoid coil.
The system of the present invention is a variant of the system of Jordan et al., in which the photocells are only ac coupled to the solenoid via transistors, so that the latter only impulsively reverse the direction of drive of the solenoid armature, which is then releasably latched in its final position, but which can have its position modified manually, without having to overcome electrical forces due to current in the solenoid. The solenoid and its energizing transistors normally carry no current, in the present system.
SUMMARY A day-night mirror which is photo-electrically controlled by means of an ac coupled transistor circuit, utilized to drive a solenoid motor which positions the mirror, the solenoid being supplied with current by transistors which are normally cut oil, and which carry current only during transitions of mirror position.
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of a modification of the circuit diagram of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION 01 and 02 are NPN transistors connected in a bistable configuration. The emitters of Q1 and 02 are connected to ground through a common resistance R], but they have separate collector loads R2 and R3, respectively. If 01 is cut off, its collector is at supply potential, +l2.V, and the base of Q2 being connected to the collector of Q1, O2 is conductive. If O1 is conductive the base of O2 is grounded, and its emitter at the voltage across R1, and it is therefore nonconductive.
The conductivity of O1 is determined by its base voltage, which in turn is established at junction 10, between two photo-resistors l l and 12. Photo-resistor 11 at one terminal is connected to voltage supply bus 13 via a resistance R4 of about l50.K, and at its other terminal to junction I0. Junction 10 is connected to ground via photocell 12, which is parallel by a large transient by-pass capacitor C, and 150.K resistance, and by a larger variable resistance R5 in series with a smaller fixed resistance R6.
In daylight both photo-resistors 11 and 12 are fully illuminated and of very small resistance. The base of Q] is grounded, R4 absorbing supply voltage, O1 is cutoff and O2 is conductive. Q3 and Q4 are unaffected by the state of Q2, because capacitor C2 isolates the base of Q3 from the collector of Q2. 03 has its base connected to ground through resistance R7 and is therefore cut off. The base of O4 is connected to ground through resistance R8 and is also cut off, R8 acting both to ground the base of Q4 and as an emitter load for Q3. The collector of O3 is connected to supply bus 13 via a very small resistance R9, but Q4 is available to supply current to one winding N of a bifilar solenoid coil. That winding is normally de-energized. Q6 and Q7 operate precisely as do Q3 and Q4, but O7 is available to supply current to a second bifilar winding D of the solenoid coil, and accordingly winding D is normally de-energized.
Photo-resistor 11 looks rearwardly of the vehicle on which is is mounted, and photo-resistor 12 looks side- I ways, particularly to the left, so that 1 l is responsive to a light approaching from the rear of the vehicle as well as to ambient light, but 12 only to ambient light.
Q5 conducts when 02 is non-conductive, and vice versa, since the base of OS is connected via a small resistance R10 to the collector of Q2. It therefore follows that if 02 is rendered conductive, 05 will be rendered non-conductive, and that during the transition of Q3, Q4 will be driven by a negative pulse and O6, 07 by a positive pulse. If ()2 is rendered non-conductive, 05 will be rendered conductive, and O3 and Q4 will be driven by a positive pulse but 06, Q! by a negative pulse. Negative pulses have no effect on transistors which are cut off, but positive pulses cause current flow, and accordingly one of the windings N and D will be energized. These drive armature A of the solenoid in opposite directions, and tilt mirror 7 respectively into night and day positions.
So long as daylight persists the mirror is in its day position. We may assume that it was so positioned manually, via manual lever.
At night, both photo-resistors II and 12 are dark, assuming no following headlamps, but photo-resistor I2 is by-passed by resistances R5, R6, of much smaller resistance than inheres in the photo-resistors. Point 10 is then essentially at ground voltage, Q1 is cut off, and Q2 is conductive.
If a following vehicle illuminates photo-resistor l1, photo-resistor 12 remaining dark at night, the voltage of point 10 rises, Q1 becomes conductive, Q2 nonconductive, the voltage at the collector of Q2 rises, a pulse is transferred via C2 to the base of Q3, which becomes conductive, driving Q4 into conductivity and energizing coil N to place the mirror in night orientation or condition. As soon as the rearward vehicle passes, the voltage of point 10 decreased toward ground. Q2 becomes conductive, which has no effect on N. The drop in voltage at the collector of Q2 is communicated to Q5, which cuts off, passing an energizing pulse to Q6, Q7, and transiently energized D.
The mirror 7 is accordingly normally in fully reflect ing orientation, day or night, until and unless a rearward vehicle approaches and its headlights illuminate photo-resistor 11. At that time the mirror 7 is moved by coil N via cam C so that it no longer reflects light to the eyes of the driver and this condition obtains until photo-cell 11 is no longer illuminated by the following headlamp, when a transient positive pulse occurs to coil D, pulling the mirror back to its normal condition.
In FIG. 3, the photo-cell circuit, involving photoresistors I1, 12 and the associated resistances R4, R5, R6, and capacitor C1, together with bistable network involving Q1, Q2 and OS, are identical with the corresponding elements of FIG. 1, and serve the same purposes, and thereafter the description of the circuitry and of its operation is not repeated.
Q10, Q12 and Q13 are unaffected by the state of Q2, because capacitor C2 isolates the base of Q from collector of Q2. Q10 has its base connected to ground through resistance R7 and is therefore cut off. Q10 being non-conductive, the base and emitter of transistor 012 are then at the same potential, as are the base and emitter of Q13. These transistors are therefore non-conductive and winding 50 isnot energized.
Q11, Q14 and Q15 are unaffected by the state of Q5 as are Q10, Q12 and Q13 by the state of Q2. Q5 con ducts when O2 is non-conductive and vice versa, since the resistance of 11 is of the order of the resistance of R5, and the potential of junction 10 therefore rises from zero in total darkness, to a positive value, as rearward illumination increases, until for some value of illumination pre-established by the setting of R5, Q1 changes state, and with it Q2.
It follows that the coils of the solenoid are energized only transiently, and are not nonnally energized at all. This leaves the mirror free to be positioned manually, and the manual actuator need only overcome magnetic detent force at pennanent magnets PM, but not current flow to the solenoid coils D and N. No current normally flows to these coils, and impulsive current is caused to flow to the proper one of coils D and N as external conditions of ambient and rearward illumination change, while driving. An important advantage is that the present system may be dry battery driven, if desired, without undue battery drain, and does not present a continuous drain on the power source employed, whether a small dry or a large wet battery constitutes that source. The actual physical construction of the mirror and mirror motor and latch is that of Jordan et al., supra, and details are not repeated here.
The capacitor C1 is in a sufficiently long time constant circuit that changes in voltage thereacross require substantial time, so that short transient illuminations of either photo-resistor II or photo-resistor 12 or both cannot affect the bias on Q1.
the base of O5 is connected via resistance R10 to the collector of Q2. It therefore follows that if Q2 is rendered conductive, Q5 will be rendered non-conductive, and that during the transition Q10 will be driven by a negative pulse and Q11 by a positive pulse. If O2 is rendered non-conductive, Q5 will be rendered conductive, and Q10 will be driven by a positive pulse, but Q11 by a negative pulse. Negative pulses have no effect on transistors which are cut off, but positive pulses cause current flow. When a positive pulse is applied to Q10, it turns on. The voltage drop across Rll then renders Q12 conductive, the drop across R13 renders Q13 conductive, and winding 50 is pulsed in the direction from A to B.
Winding 50 schematically represents a d.c. motor and is illustrated twice in FIG. 3 solely to indicate its alternative directions of energization according as to whether Q12, Q13 or O14, O15 are conductive.
If a positive pulse is applied to Q11, it is turned on. The voltage drop across R14 then renders Q14 conductive, the drop across R16 renders Q15 conductive, and winding 50 is pulsed in the direction of B to A.
If for coils 50 were substituted coils N and D, the circuit of FIG. 3 could be used to drive the bifilar windings N and D of the solenoid.

World's Richest People Lose $182 Billion as Market Rout Deepens
Warren Buffett (Getty Images)
Brendan Coffey and Devon Pendleton Friday, 21 August 2015 09:17 PM
The world's 400 richest people lost $182 billion this week from their collective fortunes as weak manufacturing data from China and a rout in commodities sent global markets plunging.
The weekly drop for the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a group that includes Warren Buffett and Glencore Plc's Ivan Glasenberg, was the biggest since tracking of the expanded list began in September 2014.
The combined net worth of the index members fell by $76 billion on Friday alone, when the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of U.S. stocks ended its worst week since 2011.
"For them that's a fractional percentage, even though $182 billion is a big number," said John Collins, director of investment advisory at Aspiriant, which oversees more than $8 billion for high net worth clients.
"A week like this feels really bad, but when you take a step back, in a big picture view it's not a disaster by any means."
Friday's losses put the world's richest 400 into the red for the year to date. They're now down $74 billion in 2015, with a collective net worth of $3.98 trillion.
The week's largest setback in dollar terms was experienced by Buffett, who saw his fortune drop by $3.6 billion as Berkshire Hathaway Inc. slipped more than 5 percent. The investor is the world's third-wealthiest person, with a fortune of $63.4 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The slump in oil, which had its longest weekly losing streak since 1986 amid signs of an extended supply glut, contributed to $15.2 billion in losses for the world's wealthiest energy billionaires. Continental Resources Inc. Chairman Harold Hamm saw $895 million, or 9 percent of his net worth, vanish this week.
Glencore's Glasenberg
Glasenberg, chief executive officer of mining company Glencore Plc, lost $237 million during the week as commodity prices slid to their lowest levels in 13 years.
Glencore reached a record low in London on Friday, down more than 8 percent from a week earlier, after the trading house reported its profit sank 56 percent in the first half of the year. Glasenberg's fortune has decreased more than 40 percent in 2015, to $3.1 billion.
China's 26 wealthiest people, pummeled by Hong Kong's bear market and a weaker yen, lost $18.8 billion during the week. Wang Jianlin of Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co. was hit hardest, losing $3.5 billion.
Eleven billionaires added to their fortunes in spite of the market turmoil. The week's biggest dollar gainer was Sun Pharmaceuticals' Dilip Shanghvi. The world's 39th-richest person became $467 million wealthier, elevating his net worth to $18.9 billion.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index takes measure of the world's wealthiest people based on market and economic changes and Bloomberg News reporting. Each net-worth figure is updated every business day at 5:30 p.m. in New York and listed in U.S. dollars.

Recap and Results: Giro d'Italia 2019 Stage 14
UAE keeps the pink
By David Kennedy on May 25, 2019
Richard Carapaz vowed to fight all the way to win the Giro d'Italia on Saturday after shooting to the top of overall standings with an impressive solo summit finish victory to take stage
14 and the pink jersey. Movistar's Ecuadorian climber edged ahead of Primoz Roglic in the standings after breaking from the chief contenders on the Giro's toughest hill yet, and after the win a confident Carapaz, 25, threw down the gauntlet to his principal rivals.
"I was thinking just now, it seems only yesterday that I was at home in Ecuador playing on a toy bike. Now I'm here wearing the Maglia Rosa," said an elated Carapaz.
"We'll try and keep the jersey and defend it all the way to Verona."
Britain's Simon Yates was second after attacking on the last kilometer, gaining some redemption for earlier disappointments and climbing to ninth overall, 5:28 off the lead.
The road ahead became a little less intimidating on Sunday evening when organizers announced they were eliminating the famous 2,618m-high Gavia pass from Tuesday's 'queen stage'.
Snow has been falling heavily in recent weeks. Mauro Vegni, the race director, said deteriorating weather conditions, the risk of avalanches and icy descents meant the "only solution" was to reroute the 16th stage which will be cut from 226km to 194km.
New leader Carapaz was in dreamland after winning his second stage in this year's Giro following his bunch sprint victory in stage four.
"I worked so hard for this, it's a real dream come true," said Carapaz at the winning post.
"I felt good this morning. We knew the altitude was good for me. I gave it everything because I knew the entire Giro was at stake."
He said there was no problem in Movistar where Mikel Landa who stands fifth at 2:50, would normally be seen as the leader.
Landa promised Movistar would remain aggressive.
"We're going to keep attacking," Landa said. "One day it will be him (Carapaz), one day it will be me. The objective is to win the Giro."
Richard Carapaz (ECU – Movistar Team)
– Nibali readying his charge –
Man-to-beat Roglic and two-time winner Vincenzo Nibali kept a close eye on each other all day with the Italian testing the Slovenian with a daredevil descent on the penultimate climb, the Colle San Carlo.
"On the last climb, it was a man-to-man fight," said Roglic. "Everyone ran at their limits."
Nibali was pleased to pick up a bonus for third.
"I took four seconds, it's a small thing," he said. "Roglic was very solid, today he collaborated, in his own way."
It was on the San Carlo that overnight leader Jan Polanc ran out of gas and lost almost eight minutes on the day.
"We fought to the end to honor the pink jersey," said Polanc. "The Giro is not finished. We will fight again for more good results."
The win and the show of power with which it was achieved, marks out Carapaz as a contender after he came fourth in the Giro last year.
He now leads Roglic by 7 seconds while Nibali is third at 1:47.
The Bahrain Merida sports director Brent Copeland was in upbeat mood after the race when asked about his captain Nibali's chances.
"There's a great deal to look forward to. We are going to have a role to play here and there are a number of stages which suit Vincenzo coming up," said Copeland.
Sunday's stage is one of the longest on the Giro at 232km, starting with a 160km flat section before the race swings into a series of short but challenging climbs and descents which pundits feel may suit Nibali.

Campus Grounds Safety
Safety & Security On Campus
Campus Safety and Klamath Falls Police Department
Oregon Tech and the Klamath Falls Police Department (KFPD) have a long history of coordination and cooperation in responding to crime on campus and areas adjacent to campus.
Campus Safety is generally considered the "first responder" to campus incidents. All uniformed officers are State of Oregon employees. Under ORS 164.205, all officers are designated as "lawful persons in charge" with authorization to direct persons to leave the campus and initiate subsequent law-enforcement intervention for crime and university violations.
All officers are trained in first aid and CPR procedures. They conduct foot, bike and vehicular patrols of the university facilities 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
KFPD is the "primary" law enforcement agency in Klamath Falls. They have jurisdiction and will respond upon request, to all crimes against the State of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS). The Klamath County Sheriff's Office and Oregon State Police will also respond to calls from campus.
Any major crime incidents on campus will generally be handled by or include KFPD in cooperation with Campus Safety personnel. As a general operating procedure, KFPD will conduct all investigations and make arrests as the responsible law-enforcement jurisdiction.
Crime Prevention and Education
Campus Safety, staff, faculty and students continually work together on personal safety and preparedness to assist others in time of need. This strategy works. Each individual is responsible for taking basic precautions such as walking in pairs at night or high-risk periods, locking office and car doors and securing personal valuables when unattended. Campus Safety is always available to meet with individuals, groups and clubs to discuss safety, crime-prevention methods and related issues.
Campus Safety actively supports crime prevention through a number of activities. Uniformed officers provide educational talks, workshops and information exchanges throughout the academic year.
Campus Safety personnel provide the following crime-prevention services:
Daily incident and crime reports
Crime information and data to local police agencies
Resident Advisor support
Orientation programming for new students
When campus crimes occur, Campus Safety will notify the campus community to educate and inform members as a crime deterrent. If you have information or questions, contact Campus Safety at 541.885.1111.
In the event of a crime or emergency, contact Campus Safety at 541.885.0911. This number will reach Campus Safety. Dialing 911 will reach the Klamath County Dispatcher. One or more agencies will respond immediately.
Building Access and Safety
Campus buildings are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Access to buildings is limited during evenings and weekends. Campus Safety officers secure the campus beginning at 5 p.m., except where evening classes meet. All buildings are locked after evening activity is completed.
Unauthorized entry to, or use of, the college facilities, including buildings and grounds, is prohibited. Building access for special use or use during non-business hours requires prior approval. If you are working alone or will be in your building after normal work hours or on weekends, notify Campus Safety of your entry time and location. This is for your safety. Report all strangers or suspicious activity in your building to Campus Safety immediately.
Security of Campus Grounds
The university is strongly committed to campus safety and security. Parking lots, pedestrian walkways, high-traffic areas, buildings, exterior lighting and grounds are checked nightly during routine patrols. Doors are secured each evening. Shrubs, trees and vegetation are trimmed regularly by Facility Services.

THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
Typically celebrated the last weekend of the month (except during Lent).
A preparation process includes meeting with our pastoral minister and attending a class. Please contact the rectory.
THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace.89 For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed."
Typically celebrated in 11th grade as part of our CCD program.
Contact the Office of Religious Education.
THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST
The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.
At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.'"

After Learning of "Election Irregularities" The FBI Has Just Requested to See the "Voter Integrity Project" Data
by Missy CraneNovember 29, 2020
Matt Braynard, the man leading the "Voter Integrity Project" or "VIP," announced today that the FBI has reached out to him and requested to see the data his group has gathered.
You may recall that Matt Braynard – a former Trump campaign official – will be speaking to Arizona election officials on Monday, where he claims he will show them (with hard proof) that there was indeed "election fraud" in the 2020 election.
Matt took to Twitter where he made the announcement. Note that Matt makes it perfectly clear that what he's passing on to the FBI are copies and not original documents. I know this has been a big concern amongst Trump supporters who understandably do not trust the FBI.
MORE NEWS: [VIDEO] The Man Presenting The "Fraud Case" to AZ Officials Says He's Got "Receipts" to Prove His Claims
Update: – The @FBI
has proactively and directly requested from me the VIP findings that indicates illegal ballots. – By Tuesday, we will have delivered to the agency all of our data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.Here's what he said:
– While there has been legit criticism of the actions of leaders of the agency over the last several years, I can personally attest to the many patriots within the rank-and-file who are fighting on the side of the Constitution and Law and Order.
Note: everything I pass on to local/state/fed law enforcement, litigants, legislatures, journalists, etc, is always a copy. And despite sharing it with individuals from all of those groups, there's never guarantee of a productive result.
In addition, the former AG of Kansas also chimed in on the update and added a statement from "The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society," where he is a director.
After learning that hundreds of thousands of ballots are potentially fraudulent- The FBI has now requested to look at our data.

While I agree with most that the letters "FBI" in this day and age don't really whip up confidence and trust, I do believe that there are some very good and patriotic patriots out there who work within the FBI…it's the very upper-echelon of the FBI that is rotten to the core.

With that said, I am also certain that the Trump supporters at the helm of this will be very cautious working with the FBI…they certainly know in general, the agency is certainly not a fan of Trump or our movement.
For now, and until proven otherwise, I think this is a good development as long as it's closely monitored.

I found my program from the festival, so here's a sketchy outline until I can dig up my journal.
Siobhan and I drove from Toronto to Cleveland and went straight to the Sun and Moon Cafe for the poetry reading. I talked to sasha i. nyktos after he read, and he wrote out a copy of a short poem of his that I liked. We browsed the vendors tables - lots of knives that we wished we could count on getting past customs. Some drummers took the stage and were jamming for a while with Terry. After the readings were over, we repaired to the basement were they performed a midnight Samhain ritual, open to all comers, and I joined the circle, though feeling very uncertain as to what was expected of me. There was drumming and the priest and priestess led us through a ceremony, but I don't think I was receptive enough to enjoy it. We drove back to Sadie and her daughter's house and crashed there. I seem to recall that the cats took a liking to walking across our air mattresses with their claws out. I curled up on a couple of couch cushions on the floor and slept reasonably well.
The fashion show was this night. We saw performances by Circus Apocalypse, Minstrels of Enchantment, Apocalypse Theatre, Morphine Angel and Garden of Dreams. Circus Apocalypse was a carnival side show act. One member chewed up a light bulb, and had his lips sewn together with piano wire. I spent a lot of time twitching and not watching their set.
We were up bright and early for the brunch at University Circle Arabica where we waited for people to straggle in before the walking tour of Lakeview. One day I want to go back and do the angel tour, as we just did a generic one. I have a picture that used to be scanned in of Siobhan looking up at the Garfield memorial, but it was lost three accounts ago. Siobhan and I drove home that night.
After I got home, Sasha sent me a packet of Tazo's Zen Tea that I enjoyed muchly.


ALBUM: Amerie – After 4AM :In recent years, there had become a very good chance we'd never get another full length album from Amerie. After all, following her fourth album "In Love & War" in 2009, she was pretty outspoken about having no desire to work within the music industry and that living a simple life suited her.
However, she now returns with a new surprise double album called "4 AM Mulholland" and "After 4 AM". She stated that the album was recorded while pregnant with her first child, who she gave birth to earlier this year. Although Amerie has always been known for her loud and unique style, the vibe of the project represents another progression in her sound, similar to what we heard on her single "Redrum" and her "Guatamala" Swae Lee remix.
Though she did release the new EP "Drive" back in 2016, it was pretty evident those songs were leftovers from years earlier. All things considered, it's a pretty special moment to be getting this new project from one of our favorite artists of the 00's.

A key minister in the Narendra Modi-led government, he represents coupon augmentin walmart emerging constituency in the country's business community seeking a political advocate responsible for the functioning of a government that has failed to deliver for many in his sector, notably workers, the augmentin for sale online and small businesses.
The party has made a political blunder by announcing the appointment of Arun Jaitley, who has little business experience, to be their nominee as the RBI governor. What is more alarming, and even more damaging, is their lack of understanding of how business relationships operate in a country with a complex economic structure. The BJP has, in the past, chosen candidates with strong business interests. Arvind Kejriwal, whose party is promising a "zero corporate tax", has drawn significant contributions in politics from such a person for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress.
While his personal qualities are impressive, and his views, as a business guy, might be admirable. Jaitley's professional experience is not in the business arena. The appointment of him as RBI governor is equally alarming and it shows just what a blunder their party has made.
But how do the party and the Indian Chambers of Commerce make the "political blunder", their appointment of Modi to be their augmentin in price, as something worth highlighting, and what the implications of that are. A better question is why they have failed to provide the detail needed to adequately understand how business relationships are constructed and operate in a country where there are a rich history of political and business corruption, in the form of bribery and coercion, where corruption was rampant even before and under the two Indira Gandhi governments.
How India Works as a Corporate State In India, if the public is not adequately protected from corruption, it becomes harder for the state to regulate itself. India's political system, particularly the central, provincial and municipal level structures of each state, create and regulate economic activity. Businesses, both domestic and foreign, are subject to the same rules and regulations as other companies, including the rules of procurement of industrial, commercial and agricultural equipment, the licensing of production, transportation and distribution, land use, and the regulation of the price and sale of commodities, such as fertiliser and power.
In the field of biopharmaceuticals, Augmentin's results are proving to be very successful, and the quality of the product is continuing to grow.

The importance of video advertising can't be stressed enough, and this shouldn't be surprising to anyone considering how many video ads we see in a day. However, the downfall to this much exposure to advertising has created a culture of ad avoidance, especially in the digital world. But, marketers have come up with a solution to combat consumer aversion to advertisements — 6-second video ads.
As this advertising style continues to gain traction in the digital world, it's important to understand why it works and how it engages consumers more effectively than longer ads before you jump in.
Branding. Establishing your company's brand goes beyond displaying a nice logo with a catchy phrase. Branding your business allows audiences to instantly recognize who you are, what you're offering, and what your company values are. With only a 6-second timeslot, it is important to quickly get these points across in a memorable way. Longer advertisements are filled with extra "fluff" that can distract viewers from the most important aspects of your company. When you are reduced down to such a small amount of time, it becomes necessary to concentrate on the key part of your business that you want people to focus on. In essence, it actually becomes easier to build your brand with 6-second ads because they force you to be specific and direct.
Consumer engagement. As mentioned before, consumers are fed up with long ads that prevent them from watching their YouTube video and can't wait to click that "Skip Ad" button. The 6-second ad strategy keeps their attention not only because of the short length, but also because the creative possibilities are endless. Consumers don't have to wait 45 seconds for the punchline to a humorous advertisement, and they also don't have to waste time skipping the content because the ad is already over once that thought enters their head.
Larger Target Audience. With such a small ad space, your business will be able to implement this short video advertisement on a wider and more various set of platforms that favor this type of content, including (but not limited to) Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat. As a result, you will also be able to reach a younger audience – the target demographic for this type of ad – who has a dominant presence on many of these platforms. Not all brands want to attract younger masses; however, if you think your company can benefit from this demographic, it's worth exploring.
So after reading about all the perks of a 6-second video you want to create your own, right? You've come to the right place; our team can help your company enter into the modern world of advertising. We'll work with you to craft the story you want to tell and effectively reach your target audience with this new trend which requires a sound strategy and careful execution. If you like what you read here, then check out our guide on how to create engaging company videos. When you're ready to take your advertising game to the next level, contact us and we will help you get started.

Constant Deviants interview with Streets Connect Magazine (Part 2)
In the lead up to the release of the group's fifth studio album "Omerta", Baltimore rapper M.I. from Constant Deviants spoke at length to west coast online publication Streets Connect Magazine.
Part 1 of the interview was published recently, and in the second installment they discuss M.I.'s time spent signed to a solo deal with Arista and the issues he faced particularly in relation to the label's suggested marketing strategy for him as an artist. This takes the conversation onto the wider subject of how white rappers were, and possibly still are, targeted at specific demographics.
An insight is given into M.I.'s earliest influences, and while several of the greats are acknowledged, he explains that the biggest factor in his development was found closer to home within Baltimore's scene, and in particular the role played by Lab Tech 1.
The subject switches to M.I.'s move into the world of film making as an actor, writer and producer, with his most recent movie "Six2Six" having just been screened at last week's Hip Hop Film Festival in NYC, and the discussion develops further as he explains why he feels it is now less productive for independent artists to release official music videos.
The interview concludes with the announcement that Constant Deviants will perform in Colombia shortly, a territory they have found to be particularly supportive due to a strong vinyl market in line with the label's policy of releasing in that format, a factor which has also established their presence in the UK, Europe and Australia
The overall interview is one of the most in-depth ever given by M.I., and can be read HERE

In the past few weeks, rapper M.I. from eastcoast hip hop duo Constant Deviants jumped on the phone to westcoast publication Streets Connect Magazine.
In what was an in depth conversation, many subjects were addressed meaning the resultant interview being published in two parts.
The first of these has M.I. going deep into the concept behind the group's new album "Omerta" which released on June 28th, the production process, and the various inspirations that contributed to its ultimate naissance. This naturally leads the discussion on to his thoughts on the art of songwriting in hip hop today, and the group's approach to a new project with the emphasis placed on a cohesive construction rather than random beats and bars.
The Baltimore MC gives an example of writing for a female audience, citing the approach of Mobb Deep, Pete Rock, CL Smooth and Gangstarr to underline the point, and it takes the interview back to the days of when the group first started, the progression from battle raps to the art of storytelling, and the release of their debut single "Competition Catch Speed Knots
Interesting insight to the mindset, and you can read the entire feature HERE
Look out for Part 2 of the interview being published very shortly, and the final episode of their Tre Volte freestyle video series releasing next week when M.I. will also have his new movie "Six2Six" screened at the Hip Hop Film Festival in Harlem.
Co:ordinated by Ralph McDaniels, it will be shown at 8.30pm on Friday August 5th at the National Black Theater in Harlem, and co:stars Treach, Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Busy Bee.
"Omerta" is available to buy as a digital download HERE and is being distributed worldwide by Fatbeats in CD and vinyl formats. Keep up to date with Constant Deviants on social media via Facebook (Group & Label) and Twitter (Group & Label) and meantime check out the album stream

They appeared as guests on a wide range of radio shows and also took time out to meet up with Above Average Hip Hop contributor Shanique Williams.
In this short but sweet video, they address various questions including "What's A Good Shower To Sing".
At this point, DJ Cutt gives an answer where we would advise all viewers of a nervous disposition to look away, and all others to ensure you are sitting down for this one. You literally may not belieb…believe…your ears. Cutt has subsequently claimed to have been possessed by a demon at the time, and those weren't his words, but we'll let you be the judge !
Despite his brief dalliance with "the dark side", DJ Cutt is one helluva producer and both he and M.I. released a real hip hop classic in "Omerta".
It is available to buy online in digital format direct from Six2Six Records, while vinyl and CD versions are currently being distributed worldwide by Fatbeats
M.I. returns to NYC for the screening of his new movie "Six2Six" at the Hip Hop Film Festival on Friday August 5th. It co:stars Treach (Naughty by Nature), Syleena Johnson and Chief Rocker Busy Bee, and will be screened at 8.30pm EST that evening. More details about the festival HERE
You can connect with Constant Deviants on Twitter (Group & Label) and Facebook (Group & Label), and meantime check out the "Omerta" album stream

PATH emergency drill, done as advertised
(The following story by Christine Hauser appeared on the New York Times website on May 20, 2009.)
NEW YORK — Emergency lights flashed in the early-morning chill, streets were sealed off, and within minutes, firefighters and police officers had raced through the smoky PATH tunnel beneath the Hudson River to reach the darkened train. They quickly began evacuating the 150 passengers, many with red smears on their faces and bodies. Some were put in steel carts and wheeled back to the station at the World Trade Center.
And the officials running the operation on Sunday morning made sure that nobody thought it was the real thing.
Operation Safe PATH 2009, an exercise involving about 800 emergency workers from multiple agencies, coordinated a response to a simulated explosion aboard a PATH train.
The drill emphasized the need for the agencies to work side by side on both first aid and intelligence gathering, said Commissioner Joseph F. Bruno of the city's Office of Emergency Management.
Officials were aware of the possible sensitivity of residents to the sight of flashing red lights and squadrons of emergency workers at ground zero. That concern was amplified three weeks ago, after office workers rushed into the streets when they saw one of the planes used as Air Force One flying over Lower Manhattan, Staten Island and Jersey City, accompanied by fighter jets, in what turned out to be a photo session.
Mr. Bruno said that scare highlighted the need for advance notice of Sunday's drill. Announcements were sent to the news media, community boards, and to those who have signed up to receive alerts from the city's emergency-notification system.
"That particular incident pointed out the need for people to know as much as possible," Mr. Bruno said. "We would not want folks to wake up and see all this equipment and wonder."
Police officers were stationed behind sawhorses, telling pedestrians there was a drill and diverting them away.
With PATH service shut down for much of the morning, a train was positioned about 1,200 feet into the tunnel on a westbound track. Smoke machines were activated and about 150 volunteers were made up to look bloodied and injured: a glass shard jutted from a forehead; a forearm was scraped raw. They then took seats on the train, with other seats occupied by mannequins.
The "explosions" occurred about 8 a.m.
The security of the PATH trains and tunnels has long been a concern. There are about 250,000 passenger trips through the PATH system each weekday, with 50,000 trips through the station at ground zero alone.
In 2006, a preliminary draft of an analysis done for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and provided to The New York Times, found that the four tubes of the rail system were structurally fragile and that a bomb explosion could flood parts of the system within hours.
Chris Gilbride, a spokesman for the Office of Emergency Management, would not comment on the 2006 report, but said the "exercise was designed so the explosion did not breach the tunnel."
Most of the drill's participants were able to walk out to the street, but 20 victims were considered "critically injured" and had to be wheeled out on the kind of aluminum rail carts that were used in London after a 2005 bombing there. The carts had never been used in New York, said Chief Joseph Pfeifer, of the Fire Department's counterterrorism unit.
Once outside, the volunteers were questioned by detectives for intelligence gathering.
"If we are going to make mistakes, we want to make them here," said Edward Skyler, the deputy mayor for operations.
When the two-hour exercise ended about 10 a.m., pedestrians mingled with the volunteers and officers in full gear. One elderly couple snapped photographs. A girl passed a bloodied volunteer on West Broadway.
"I was like, 'What was going on?' People were coming out with fake bruises," said Iman Hayes, 12. "It was shocking and surprising."
Dr. Anthony Lyon, a 35-year-old physician who lives nearby, sauntered through the throng of firefighters, with his son Jonah on his shoulders. He said he was not surprised by the sight of Sunday's drill, for one simple reason: "Because of where we are."

Q: Running out of memory for no reason? I'm extremely new to android studio so sorry if this question is really simple.
I'm basically trying to have 2 screens:
Menu, and instructions.
The instructions is an intent to the menu screen (a button click will open the instructions from the menu)
Now, when I'm trying to put an image as the background for the instructions layout, it gives me an out of memory error.
However, if I put the same BG image as I have in the menu layout into the instructions layout, it will work, and the ironic part is that the BG image for the menu layout is bigger than the BG im trying to put in the instructions layout.
Worth mentioning these are images from the drawables menu, Menu BG: 31k, Instructions BG(the one that crashes): 30k, both are made by me in photoshop, same save settings, same image type, everything.
Thank you.

A: in reference to the comment above ---> you can find your gradle.build file inside the tree view on the left side of your project file structure view.
or from your computers GUI
inside
android_studio_projects/"your_app_name"/app/build.gradle
And I am almost positive that the reason you are getting this error is because the images should be in the mipmap folder and properly seperated in the sizing folders from mipmap ldpi to mipmap xxxhdpi.
ldpi (low) ~120dpi
mdpi (medium) ~160dpi
hdpi (high) ~240dpi
xhdpi (extra-high) ~320dpi
xxhdpi (extra-extra-high) ~480dpi
xxxhdpi (extra-extra-extra-high) ~640dpi
If the device/emulator you are using attempts to over expand an image (kinda like overcompensating because it thinks the image is two small because it is unclassified and inside the drawable folder.
A good way to test it is to put your image inside the mipmap xxxhdpi folder. If your app runs instead of crashing then congrats you fixed it.
(In order to add a file into a specific mipmap simply paste it into the mipmap folder by left clicking it and selecting paste. and android studios will automatically ask you what density specific folder you would like it in.)
Hope this helps best of luck.

Taking Note | After the Attack in Peshawar, Will Afghanistan and Pakistan Cooperate?
After the Attack in Peshawar, Will Afghanistan and Pakistan Cooperate?
One vital element missing from the long fight against the various Taliban groups that operate on both sides of the lawless Afghanistan-Pakistan border has been serious cooperation between the governments in Kabul and Islamabad.
The slaughter of 148 students and teachers by Pakistani Taliban at a military-run school in Peshawar on Tuesday ought to change that. But will it?
As Pakistan was consumed by shock and grief over the attack, the country's army chief, Gen. Raheel Sharif, and the head of the Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency, Lt. Gen. Rizwan Akhtar, moved quickly. They flew to Kabul on Wednesday to meet the Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, and Gen. John Campbell, the commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The Pakistani commanders were seeking Afghanistan's help in locating the Pakistani Taliban leaders who devised and carried out the massacre. A statement issued by the Pakistani military said Mr. Ghani had assured the Pakistanis that his government would cooperate.
Even before the massacre, Mr. Ghani, a former World Bank official who became president in September, had showed a willingness to work with Pakistan and calm the bilateral hostilities that his predecessor had stoked.
But to get real traction on the terrorism problem, good will can't just move in one direction. Pakistan is also going to have address Afghanistan's concerns.
The Afghan Taliban that has been fighting American and Afghan forces in Afghanistan is well known to have its headquarters in Quetta, Pakistan and to have bases along the border. The Pakistani military has long supported the Afghan Taliban as a way of exerting influence in Afghanistan, even while, in recent years, it has fought the Pakistan Taliban.
On Wednesday, Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, insisted that from now on, "there will be no differentiation between 'good' and 'bad' Taliban." But in the past that's exactly what Pakistan has done and it has been a fool's game.
Supporting extremism in any form is a losing proposition. To have some hope of ending brutal Taliban assaults, and the group's larger goal of trying to bring down the state, Pakistan has to decide that all these terrorists are an existential threat and that Afghanistan can be an ally in combatting them.


Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. Whether it's as simple as changing light bulbs or as complex as designing a green-certified store, nearly every retailer is somewhere on that journey.
Perhaps the best place to start is by defining sustainability, which is not as easy as it sounds.
Leonardo Academy, a non-profit organization in Madison, Wis., that promotes green practices. Supermarkets also are on board, von Zastrow says.
FMI recently developed a task force to provide retailers the tools they need to become more sustainable.
The green movement began picking up steam when the economy was still robust. Perhaps the most critical question for retailers today is, are green practices sustainable in a stagnant economy? Absolutely, says Gaylen Davenport, vice president for business development for Worldwide Energy in Overland Park, Kan. "Sustainability is green for the environment but also green for the bottom line," he says.
"There can be tremendous cost savings, in addition to protecting the environment," she says. "Sustainability is a good business practice. But one thing we find is that people are not paying attention to the ROI, or at what point they will break even. "
Simply put, if a business can't pay its bills, no one will care how sustainable it is.
Many larger national chains have made a companywide commitment to sustainability while some small independent stores are taking incremental steps. The good news is that everyone can do something that will help both the environment and the bottom line.
Transportation. A significant amount of energy is used to distribute fruits and vegetables. Driving at a speed of 65 mph instead of 75 mph would save 2.8 billion gallons of diesel fuel and reduce CO2 emissions by 31.5 million tons annually, according to the American Trucking Associations in Washington, D.C. Eliminating unnecessary idling can save another 1.1 billion gallons of fuel each year. One option for retailers is to feature more locally grown produce, which requires a fraction of the transportation expenses.
Proper lighting also can be a useful merchandising tool.
Packaging. The produce industry is on the leading edge of reducing, recycling and reusing packaging.
Composting. Non-saleable produce can be disposed of in a way that is sustainable - or perhaps even profitable.
Supply chain. An industrywide approach to sustainability can have a synergistic effect, von Zastrow says.
Certification. Selling sustainable produce can give retailers an edge in the marketplace. The challenge, however, is documenting that it was in fact grown with sustainable farming practices. SureHarvest of Soquel, Calif., is addressing that concern by helping growers become certified.
SureHarvest currently is working with growers who produce 30,000 acres of stone fruit, citrus, mushroom and wine grapes. Several retailers already are requesting that their suppliers become certified, and Meister anticipates that retailers eventually will require sustainability scores, similar to what Wal-Mart is doing.
"Consumers may not understand the benefits of drip irrigation, for example, but they will be able to understand what the score means," she said.
As retailers take steps toward sustainability, she reminds them to always keep consumers in mind.
Sustainability is here to stay, experts agree. Retailers who do their homework and make sound decisions today will be well-positioned to be successful in the future.
"Sustainability is being driven by many things, including government activities and economics," von Zastrow says. "Obviously, one of the key drivers is our diminishing resources, from water to energy to land for agriculture.
Whether testing the waters or diving in headfirst, now is the time to get in the game, Means says.


I face this problem a lot. I never find relevant stats for a research at a flash bolt speed. It takes a search phrase and some patient and calm fishing before the desired figures can be pulled out.
Information like statistics should be readily available. The figures and decimals are intimidating enough and then if searching for them becomes a task, one would rather skip it.
Figures are important for your business (and mine). A comparative study, an emerging trend, a success formula are all simplified into math. All complex sciences are proved and then approved by the simplicity of Math and Statistics. We love things simplified at VWO, so we bring you a compilation of all relevant eCommerce statistics .
Some of them might even surprise you!

44% companies focus more on customer acquisition then customer retention.
16% focus more on retention.
Only 40% focus equally on both.
Here's a little statistical insight that shows how pricey an affair acquisition is. A survey by Marketing Sherpa compared the mean acquisition costs of companies and then averaged them out in three classifications. This classification was based on if the customer acquisition cost were steady, rising or falling.
Notice that the companies that were counted in the 'Steady' group, had a high customer acquisition cost as is seen from the mean figures . The 15% that observed a fall had low customer acquisition cost anyway (could be that they are already huge in terms of customer base) .
Thus, the overall trend shows that the acquisition cost is either steady (and huge) or rising for most businesses. A lesson if you are not able to retain your customers is that the new ones are not coming easy.
Probability of selling to a new customer is 5 to 20%.
Probability of selling to existing customer is 50 to 70%.
It can't get any clearer, the numbers say it all. Retaining your customers gets you profits and saves you costs.
Old brings Gold, the probability of selling to a seasoned customer is 50 to 70 percent.
Customer acquisitions and retention both require a strong marketing strategy. With businesses growing online, Social Media is replacing hoardings and billboards. A lot of potential customer base is redirected to eCommerce sites though social media.

You are right only 40% of the wolrd's population has access to the internet (to be precise 42%). Out of those 40 percent, 40 percent people have shopped online which is around 1.2 billion people.Hence the figure. Thanks for noticing!
That's a very powerful insights. Some are a bit shocking but most of it is predictable.

Rebello's stroker modifies your stock crankshaft the same as how I described in the previous post. It's definitely a reasonable price if you're an individual who's not necessarily interested in doing all the leg work and/or managing the project to that extent.
You can always pay a machinists to come up with the numbers for you but I'm sure it will reflect in your total investment. However, armed with the right information you're better equipped to consult as opposed to being directed.
What is the maximum bore possible ? Are liners possible? I wouldn't be afraid of pushing the oil control ring into the pin area.
Are there any aftermarket cranks available for the s54? I would imagine the crank is fairly lightweight to begin with.
Per the TIS, maximum allowable bore for the stock block is 87.5mm (3.44").
There are vendors who perform sleeving services, but honestly that's kind of beyond the scope of a budget stroker so I haven't really put much consideration into the possibility of using them.
To play devils advocate for a sec, and looking beyond the price of just sleeving the block, there may be added costs associated with the head work needed to support larger bores. Particularly, focusing attention on the combustion chambers for one. You start having to address things like squish clearances and stuff like that!! Far beyond anything I'd be interested in trying to manage.
Now that doesn't go without repeating what someone once told me, in that considering the overall cost of an engine build you should try to devote no less than 40% of your budget to head work. Ideal but not always an option in most cases.
One word of caution I failed to mention previously, is to remain cognizant of the fact that you still need tuning. Seeing as how this is geared more toward a budget build I'd assume the DME would remain in control. Another reason why staying as close to the stock engine parameters as possible is pretty important.
Unfortunately, the engine lived in a race car. This was a budget rebuild to get the car back on the track, due to the fact that the engine (previously) was put together in what looked like a sand box, and the rods were not torqued correctly, damaging his first engine. Despite our efforts to have the valves/springs/retainers replaced for race insurance, the owner didn't have the money to do that- and it dropped a valve a few races down the road.
We offered to rebuild the engine (again) for HALF the labor to help him out (obviously no lower end work would cause a random valve to drop- it was just a freak accident...) but he said he was out of money for the season.
The dropped valve damaged the block, one piston and the head.
The block was trashed, one piston from JE would fix that bottom up, and the head could have even been salvaged..... But that's where we stood with that one.
Well damn, that went south quick! Yeah, you definitely can't really cheap out on these motors. I was looking forward to maybe a pic or two, and maybe even a vid.

Funny, I just found this while doing some research. We ended up doing something very similar to save a few crankshafts from the trash when they had spun bearing journals. No offset grinding though just trying to save the crank and use a wider rod bearing. I always wondered how far you really could take the stock crank if you offset ground it. It looks like if you're willing to experiment then it can be done.
Not quite as much stroke as a billet crankshaft like the one we made but definitely would cost a lot less. My math adds up to around 3500$ for rods, crankshaft grinding, bearings, and custom pistons. I wonder how people are getting up to 4000$ on something like this?
