OKX rolls out Proof of Reserves, self-audit, Custodial Wallet
OKX, the second-biggest crypto exchange in the world by trading volume, has introduced three new leading offerings that are giving its clients improved visibility into their assets, greater control over funds, and insight into asset backing, Coin Journal learned from a press release.
Today, the exchange added a new Proof of Reserves (PoR) page to its website. It gives details about OKX's PoR audits and its latest token-wide reserve ratios.
Exchange launches self-audit feature
Later this week, OKX will introduce a new self-audit feature that proves to clients that reserves back their funds based on the most recent data. This is in order to take transparency and user empowerment to the next level.
At the moment, the self-audit feature supports leading cryptos by market cap, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The exchange will add more assets over time. It will also conduct proof of reserves audits on a regular basis to update user asset status and reserve balances.
First platform to introduce Independent Custodial Wallet
OKX will have another record: the first exchange in the world to introduce an Independent Custodial Wallet. This service will be available to high-net-worth and institutional clients.
In the weeks to come, the company will launch an independent custodial wallet that will make it possible for clients to see and track account balances in real-time, secure their assets separately from reserves, and hold the private keys to their funds. This will give them greater control and visibility over their assets.
OKX Director of Financial Markets Lennix Lai commented:
Our new self-audit feature and proof of reserves page let users verify that their assets are fully backed. We also have third-party audits to provide additional reassurance. OKX believes the industry needs much more transparency so we can come back stronger after recent events.
OKX's top priority is to guarantee that the assets of its customers, who are more than 20 million worldwide, are always safe and secure. The exchange has always maintained 1:1 asset backing and is proud of its long-running reputation for best-in-class safety and security.

What about Delphix backups forced by dSource and SnapSync Policy which appears in RMAN repository?
How to erase them, and can we erase them from RMAN Catalog, or DB controlfile ?
This would only apply when using level-based backups, as per https://docs.delphix.com/display/DOCS50/Linking+Oracle+Physical+Standby+Databases.
Delphix tags its RMAN backups with a 'dlpx' tag. The tag is marked as unavailable once the backup completes, via a 'CHANGE BACKUP TAG <tag> UNAVAILABLE' command. There is a known issue to be aware of which can affect non-Delphix backup records which is issue is fully resolved in Delphix Engine version 4.2.5.1, Delphix Engine 4.3.2.1, and later releases.
But what about whole list of DLPXnnnn TAGed backups? Is there any way to automate this from Delphix side?

As much as I love my Nintendo Wii U, it had its fair share of problems. The Gamepad, while a cool idea, didn't really work in practice as it felt clunky and awkward compared to other control setups. Conventional controllers didn't come standard with the machine and required additional purchases on top of the price of … More I'm Still Excited (and Nervous) About the Nintendo Switch

Q: Accepted App store game crash on two iPhone 4, version 4.3.3 Just released my first iOS game on Apple Appstore. (It is accepted by Apple)
It has worked fine a iPod (4th gen), a Iphone 3Gs and iPad 2/3.
However, two of my friends bought it on a iPhone 4, with iOS version 4.3.3 and they both say that it wont start. It quickly turns black then returns to the home screen.
Have no possibility to borrow their phones at the moment, and Googles search wont help me. Any ideas? Have no crash reports on iTunes Connect yet either.
The game has support for 4.1 an up. I have now temporary removed it from app store.
If someone got hockeyapp please try it out: https://rink.hockeyapp.net/recruit/baf90d07e6864bdfb2855a75b1a1877d
Borrowed a phone from one of my friends today, and tried to run the game (release version) from Xcode. It blacked out just like before, generating the following error in xcode:
error: failed to launch '/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/xxx-
hkwbdotvymdyljavlnsmbygluhnu/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/xxx.app/xxx'
-- failed to get the task for process 1585

But if you later just clicked the game icon on the iPhone, it ran perfectly...
The debug target/version did however work just fine.
Update:
If someone out there got iOS 4.3.3 please use one of these promo codes and try it out. If you are able please send a crash report if it crases.

Popworld Liverpool reopens with brand new look!
There Ain't No Party Like a Popworld Liverpool Party! Liverpudlians are in for a treat this month, as world-famous nightclub Popworld has reopened with a brighter, bolder, and even better new look.
That's right… a £300,000 investment has given the club a facelift, so its reign as the ultimate party destination in Liverpool can continue.
Famous for championing the nation's guilty pleasures, clubbers FINALLY have something to look forward to – a night on the tiles to the best pop tunes in town. Reopening its doors on Wood Street for the first time since lockdown began in March 2020, it won't be long until everyone can indulge in S Club 7, Destiny's Child, the Spice Girls and Vengaboys once again, with up-to-date tracks from the likes of Joel Corry & Ed Sheeran thrown in for good measure!
With even more booths installed within the venue alongside an eye-catching colour palette of yellow, pink, aqua and purples, the bottle-to-table experience has been perfected so that no night out in the city centre will be complete without a visit to Popworld. What's more, some of the venue's all-new bookable VIP booths come with their very own private multi-coloured dancefloor – get ready to throw some shapes in style. No detail has been spared… even the loos have had a refresh!
Back with a bang, the club will mark its relaunch with a series of events, including appearances from Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury (Big Head characters), a Brass Street Band playing all the Popworld classics, and beloved club nights – Weekend Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursdays, Pop Party and more… they're a must for those looking to dance the night away with a pop-tastic Skittlebomb in hand.
Access to the DJ has never been easier either, as partygoers will be able to text the screen to have their favourite songs mixed into the set, alongside retro videos that re-run the fun and bring back all the memories. Retro phones that will allow customers to order drinks and chat to their mates have also been installed, as well as a 360 Degree Pop Star Cam – but remember, what happens in Popworld, stays in Popworld!
So, whether you already have a reason to celebrate or are just looking for one, head on down to Popworld for good times and great cocktails aplenty – after all, everyone loves a Cheeky V, Sex on the Beach, Pornstar Martini and Woo Woo, especially when served as the club's signature sharer, the Partini.
That's not all. As the club brings back the party, it's looking for some party-people to join the team and serve up the fun each and every night of the week.
With 10 roles available, head online to find out more and apply: www.networxrecruitment.com/PreviewJobs/Advert/2274158?cid=1044&FromSearch=False&ad=1588589
Simon O'Reilly, General Manager at Popworld Liverpool, said:
"We are incredibly excited to be open once again, this time bigger and better than before. We've got it all – new booths, new effects lighting and a refreshed vibe that will appeal to all. It's no secret that this year has been incredibly tough and we for one can't wait to get the tunes pumping, and the cocktails and the good times flowing as we give our fans the release they've been waiting for. We're ready and raring to go!"
Popworld Liverpool, 68 Hanover Street, Liverpool, L1 4AG

Friday: 6pm – 4am

Standard Life Aberdeen has won a dispute with Lloyds Banking Group over a £100bn-plus investment mandate the UK bank withdrew last year, meaning that bank is likely to have to pay out hundreds of millions of pounds in fees.
The tribunal found Lloyds should not have given notice to terminate the management agreement between the two firms following the merger of Standard Life and Aberdeen Asset Management.
The row between two of the UK's biggest financial services providers centred on a £109bn contract and has raged for more than a year.
Now that the arbitration panel has ruled in our favour, we will carefully consider our next steps, working constructively with LBG to bring the matter to resolution"
The money had been managed by Aberdeen Asset Management for years. But following Aberdeen's merger with Standard Life, the investment and insurance giant, in mid-2017, Lloyds decided it could not have the money managed by a rival insurer. SLA challenged the decision and argued that since selling its insurance business to Phoenix, it could not be considered a competitor.
Lloyds decided to split the mandate between BlackRock and Schroders, with the latter set to receive £80bn.
The decision represents a setback for Lloyds' foray into wealth management alongside City investment firm Schroders as the £100billion mandate was being used to get that business off to a flying start when it launches in June.
Keith Skeoch, chief executive of SLA, said: "Now that the arbitration panel has ruled in our favour, we will carefully consider our next steps, working constructively with LBG to bring the matter to resolution." Lloyds has already agreed to divide up the mandate between BlackRock and Schroders, with whom it has set up a wealth management joint venture.
Lloyds said it was disappointed with the outcome of the arbitration but that it would work with SLA. "Our strategy remains unchanged, which is to do the right thing for customers," it said. "We will discuss starting the process of an orderly transfer of assets to our new partners BlackRock and Schroders. We will continue to work closely with Standard Life Aberdeen to ensure there is no disruption to performance or service."
Laith Khalaf, a senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, the fund supermarket, said the ruling could lead to Lloyds paying hefty fees to break out of its agreement early with Standard Life Aberdeen.
He added: "We think there could even be a bit of mix and match, where Lloyds pays to release some assets to get its joint venture with Schroders up and running, while leaving some funds with Standard Life Aberdeen.
"We'll be watching for further details as and when negotiations are concluded."

Common Thread is our annual statewide collaboration in support of the Wisconsin Brewer's Guild. This Tart Cranberry Witbier had a portion of the wort brewed & soured here at Working Draft. We then shipped it out to Vintage Brewing in Sauk where it was blended into the main batch. Bright, fruity & slightly tart, this is a wonderful summer sipper!
Brewed in collaboration with our friends at St. Francis Brewing Company. Huge notes of banana & clove are complimented by German Pilsner & Wheat Malt. A slightly tart finish makes for a deceptively smooth finish.
Back from the Dead! We revived this Belgian Black IPA with our good friend & mentor, Page Buchanan from House of Brews. Roasty & slightly smoky aromas meld with stone fruit, plum & blueberry notes in this Mosaic heavy Belgian Black IPA.
Dank, citrus, tropical fruit & pine come from massive amounts of Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo & Chinook hops. Hopped at a rate of 5 lbs per barrel, this bone dry American Double IPA has it all.
Juuuuuuicy. Dank tropical fruit, passion fruit & lime. Soft mouthfeel yet dry & crushable. Contains 0% fruit juice. Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, El Dorado hops.
Mosaic, Amarillo & Chinook hops bring notes of white grape, grapefruit & pine. English & German Malts create a sweet biscuity back drop that compliments but doesn't overwhelm this dry & crushable American Pale Ale.
We're chasing that authentic German Lager character using the finest German ingredients & a cold & slow lagering technique. Light, dry & crisp yet supremely complex. The beer has bready malt complexity with pleasant, light notes of sulfur. Spicy noble hops meld seamlessly with the malt base..
German malts & a single decoction provide notes of light caramel & breadcrust. Herbrucker hops balance the malt with a light but pleasant spicy/herbal quality. This classic German-Style Vienna Lager is a tribute to balance, full flavor & drinkability.
We boosted the Dark Chocolate malt to add a touch more roasty chocolatey character. We also increased the mash temperature to leave a fuller body & more residual sweetness. This batch was also fermented with an American Ale yeast that should make the beer less fruity & allow the caramel & roasted malts to shine more.
Fresh squeezed orange juice, sugar, carbonated water.
Other times, snack sticks (regular or jalapeno cheddar) - $2 or snack mix available: assorted spiced nuts, dried fruit - $5 (add candied bacon $1).
When we are not serving food, you're welcome to bring-in or order-in food.
Slow roasted pork, smoky BBQ sauce, bread and butter pickles, white onion.

David Byrne (Talking Heads) said about Sensacional de Diseño Mexicano Street Graphics "Bad design is good design". And tasteful good design, likewise, is bad design. Not good-bad, just bad-bad. Now that "perfect" design is possible with the click of a mouse, the industrialized world has become nostalgic for "imperfect" design." Sensacional reflects images from Mexico's small towns, roadsides, and cities, and from printed images such as flyers, labels and comic books. This urban art shares as a common origin, the fact that the artists who made them were not taught orthodox college principles or the conventions of visual arts, or even the latest design trends. This visual culture paints urban art like no other: Good old street art in Mexico. "Sensacional de Diseño Mexicano", was written by Juan Carlos Mena with the collaboration of Oscar Reyes and Déborah Holtz. Published by Trilce Ediciones, this masterpiece has more than 600 images of local ads, designs and street art from the streets of México. They developed a line of personal accessories based on the book which designs represent the essence of Mexico.

Prince Hermann Ludwig Heinrich von Pückler-Muskau was born Count Pückler, on 30 October 1785. He became a prince in 1822, he was a German nobleman, who was an excellent artist in landscape gardening and wrote widely appreciated books. These were mostly about his travels in Europe and Northern Africa, he published under the pen name of "Semilasso". He died 4 February 1871 in Branitz, Germany.
In Limerick he stayed at the Moriarty Hotel which was at 7 George Street and own by Eliza Moriarty. The Limerick Independent Club was founded by Thomas Steele in 18 August 1828. The rules of the Limerick Independent Club were drawn up in the Canal Hotel with Thomas Steele, chairman, Thomas Moloney, secretary.
The following is a local news report of the Prince's visit to Limerick.
"Pückler-Muskau" by Auguste Hüssener, 1837.
His Highness Prince Puckler Muskua, now on a tour through Ireland, arrived at Moriarty's Hotel, Limerick, on Saturday last. The following day and yesterday, he visited all the public Institutions, and the different places of worship. He also went to see the stone upon which the memorable Treaty of Limerick had been signed. The Prince is a relative of the Bonaparte family, and a Major-General in the Prussian service. His sentiments are well known to coincide with every principle of freedom.
Several Members of the Limerick Independent Club, and of the Order of Liberators, were introduced to him. He expressed, at the interview, his regret, that so fine, and in his own complimentary term, so great a people should be retarded from taking that station which they should, from the qualities they possessed, properly assume. A deputation from the Limerick Independent Club, waited on his Highness, yesterday, with a Card, conferring the privileges of an honorary Member of the Club, and also with an invitation to the public dinner to be give on Monday next to our distinguished Countrymen, Thomas Steele, and O'Gorman Mahon Esqrs. His Highness, after expressing his thanks, accepted the compliments – but the latter, conditionally, as he was at present going on to Kerry, it may be impossible for him to return. He, however, assured the deputation that he would endeavour to be present on an occasion from which he was certain of deriving so much gratification. His Highness left town yesterday on his way to Derinane-abbey, the seat of Mr. O'Connell, M.P.


CW: This article involves discussion of abortion and mental illness.
Before delving into the myriad of mental and physical health problems associated with Northern Irish women undergoing abortions, it's imperative to understand where we lie on the issue on this isle we call Britain. Even though most are aware that abortion was legalised in England, Wales and Scotland in the 1967 Abortion Act and is yet to be in Northern Ireland, the pitfalls of this island in it's own abortion policy is still worth mentioning. Today, a woman seeking abortion in Britain still requires two doctors' approval before doing so, and a woman who undergoes an illegal abortion is still imprisoned. It seems as if Westminster still cannot trust women to make their own decisions regarding their bodies. This is because despite the aforementioned legislation, abortion remains a criminal offence under the Offences Against the Person Act of 1861 - yes 1861 - the same act that still applies above all to Northern Ireland. The 1967 Abortion Act only grants exception for this rule to women and medical professionals, for example the two doctors' law. Therefore when it comes to doctors entering the field of gynecology or obstetrics, many are pushed away from abortions fearing the common prosecution that often comes with the role. Combined with the crisis already facing the NHS, we can not be complacent when regarding Britain's own legislation on abortion.
Nonetheless, over the Irish Sea in Northern Ireland, women must either travel elsewhere to have abortions or take abortion pills and risk prosecution under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act. With abortion being illegal in Northern Ireland, online abortion pills have become more prominent; however, online abortion pills can be dangerous with the emergence of online entities selling ineffective drugs. In fact, a research study of online abortion pill suppliers found many drugs to contain less than the indicated amount of active agents. The NHS firmly advises against buying abortion pills online, stressing its illegality and the threat of unsafe drugs. Dangers of unsafe self-induced abortions range from immediate bleeding and cervix tearing to long-term pelvic inflammatory disease and reproductive tract infections. The long list of dangers includes internal infection, blood poisoning, premature deliveries, and genital and abdomen damage. When abortion is not accessible, women will resort to non-advised methods and are at extreme risk to suffer severe complications.
These women can't or don't wish to give a birth for different reasons. Yet what connects them all is that if they could do so safely and legally in their own country, they would not need to travel, they would not need to endure these physical and mental hardships, and lastly, their future selves would not need to additionally ponder on, or even suffer from such an experience.

SCORES & OUTDOORS: Big green caterpillar
September 20, 2017 /0 Comments/in Columns, Scores & Outdoors/by Roland D. Hallee
Last week a reader sent a photograph of a caterpillar that she couldn't identify (see photo).
The photo she sent shows the Hyalophora cecropia in its fifth instar (stage) of development, or the cecropia moth caterpillar. It is the largest native North American moth.
Cecropia caterpillar
The female moth has had its wings measured up to six inches or more. Its range is from Nova Scotia in eastern Canada and Maine south to Florida, and west to the Canadian and U.S. Rocky Mountains. It can also be found in California.
Like all members of the giant silk moth family, the moths only reproduce because they lack functional mouth parts or digestive system, meaning they never eat. Therefore, the life expectancy is only about two weeks.
The female lays up to 100 eggs, which hatch into tiny black caterpillars. The larvae feed upon many common trees and shrubs, including maple, birch and apple. The larvae are more commonly found on maple trees. As they grow larger, it becomes clear that the black color is actually small hairs growing. In the early stages they are yellow-green. As they grow larger, the colors change to green to bluish-green, with the tubercles becoming blue, yellow and orange. Upon reaching matu-rity in autumn, the caterpillar, now about four inches long, spin large cocoons on trees or wooden structures to emerge as adults in the first two weeks of seasonally warm weather in early summer. They only have one generation per year.
Pests of the moth have become a significant problem. Parasites such as wasps and flies lay their eggs in or on the young caterpillars. The eggs then hatch into larvae, which consume the internal organs and muscles of the caterpillars. Once the eggs hatch into larvae, the para-sites release chemicals that override the regulatory mechanisms of the caterpillar, and will eventually kill the cecropia pupa. Squirrels also consume the pupae of the cecropia moths, which decreases the population significantly. Pruning of trees and leaving outdoor lights on at night can also be detrimental to the moths.
Cecropia moth
The wings of the moth are brownish with red near the base of the forewing. Crescent-shaped spots of red with whitish center are obvious on all wings, but are larger on the hindwings. All wings have whitish coloration followed by reddish bands of shading beyond the postmedial lie that runs longitudinally down the center of all four wings. The body is hairy with reddish color-ing. The body has alternating bands of red and white.
The coloration of the moth is so spectacular they are prized by collectors and nature lovers, specifically for their large size and extremely showy appearance.
Now you can impress your friends when someone sees one of these and you can identify it as the Hyalophora cecropia.

High Fidelity Invests in Second Life
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- High Fidelity announced today that it acquired an interest in Linden Research, Inc. ("Linden Lab"), the pioneering developer of the virtual world Second Life. The deal includes a cash investment and distributed computing patents. Members of High Fidelity's metaverse team are joining the company, and Philip Rosedale, who is a founder of both companies, is also rejoining Second Life as a strategic advisor.
The transaction will help Second Life further scale its operations and strengthen its commitment to growing an innovative, inclusive, and diverse metaverse where its inhabitants' ingenuity drives real-world value for themselves and others.
"No one has come close to building a virtual world like Second Life," says Second Life founder and High Fidelity co-founder, Philip Rosedale. "Big Tech giving away VR headsets and building a metaverse on their ad-driven, behavior-modification platforms isn't going to create a magical, single digital utopia for everyone. Second Life has managed to create both a positive, enriching experience for its residents — with room for millions more to joi — and built a thriving subscription-based business at the same time. Virtual worlds don't need to be dystopias."
"Since Philip started Second Life in 1999, its visionary approach has not only stood the test of time, but positioned it for the future," says Brad Oberwager, chairman of Linden Lab. "He and the High Fidelity team have unmatched experience and I can't wait to capitalize on the vast opportunity in front of us."
Now in its 19th year of operation, Second Life has had one of its strongest years ever with a growing user base and booming economy including an annual GDP of $650 million USD with 345 million transactions of virtual goods, real estate, and services. Over 2 billion user-generated assets exist inside Second Life with 8 million unique items sold on its Marketplace.

Ahmed Elgoni felt like he'd struck gold. The 24-year-old video game developer from South Africa had in November secured a ticket to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco — a cultural mecca for anyone who wants to make video games.
A sponsor would cover the cost of his round-trip flight from Cape Town. Just two weeks ago, he received his visa to enter the U.S.
Then President Trump signed an executive order banning refugees and travelers from seven countries.
Elgoni grew up in South Africa, but he was born in Sudan — one of the countries listed as part of the travel ban. As a dual citizen, he now doesn't know if he can attend GDC, which runs from Feb. 27 to March 3.
A federal judge in Seattle temporarily blocked the president's immigration restrictions on Friday, but given the hasty implementation of the order and the ongoing back and forth between the White House and the courts (the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals was hearing arguments from both sides on Tuesday), some international travelers remain wary of their chances of entering the country.
Last year 27,000 people descended on San Francisco for the week-long video game conference. Of the attendees, 32% were not from the U.S. Shortly after Trump's immigration ban was announced, GDC offered full refunds to those who could no longer attend the conference because of the executive order. Last week, event organizers were still evaluating how many people were affected, and declined to provide a breakdown of attendees by geographic region.
Many developers — even those already in the U.S. — lamented the effect the travel ban will have not only on this year's GDC, but on the local video game industry.
"GDC has been able to blossom because it takes place in a part of the world that's been open to and accepting of people of all races and identities," said Navid Khonsari, a green-card-holding game developer of Canadian and Iranian citizenship.
The United States plays host to at least half a dozen global video game conferences, with some of the largest taking place in California: the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, in Downtown Los Angeles; GDC in Downtown San Francisco. And while GDC has launched a European chapter, the flagship San Francisco conference remains the must-attend event for developers eager to rub shoulders with their peers.
"The biggest value was in meeting other game developers and showing them my work," said Mahdi Bahrami, an Iranian game designer who attended GDC for the last three years but decided against attending this year after Trump won the election.
For game developers, who primarily interact via social networks such as Twitter, GDC represents an opportunity to build both professional relationships and intercontinental friendships. In Bahrami's case, attending GDC helped him get funding for "Engare," a game inspired by the culture of Iran. But it was also an opportunity to break down cultural barriers, particularly in an industry that is predominantly white and male. "I learned something, and they learned something," he said.
Fresh out of college, Elgoni also sees GDC as an opportunity to kick-start his game development career. But unless the travel ban is formally dropped, he doubts he'll attend.

Марио Маттоли (; 30 ноября 1898 года — 26 февраля 1980 года) — итальянский кинорежиссёр и сценарист, поставил 86 фильмов за период с 1934 по 1966 год.

Биография

Марио Маттоли является прямым наследником Агостино Маттоли (ит.), врача-хирурга и врача-гомеопата. Дворянская семья Маттоли была родом из Беваньи, но Марио родился в Толентино, потому что его отец, Аристид Маттоли, был перевезен в местную больницу. Получив степень бакалавра, Марио Маттоли начал работать подрядчиком. В 1927 году вместе с режиссёром Лучано Рамо основал «Spettacoli Za-bum».

В 1928 году женился на актрисе Мити Миньоне, известной по работе вместе с братом Тото Миньоне (ит.) и сестрой Каролиной (ит.). Это трио распалось сразу на следующий день после свадьбы Мити. С тех пор Маттоли подписал 32-летнюю карьеру, и очень часто писал сценарии, начиная от драмы до научной фантастике. Марио Маттоли также работал в телевидении. Некоторые из его фильмов, в том числе с Тото, сегодня считаются классикой итальянского кино.

Ein Klingeltransformator ist ein Transformator, der eine Sicherheitskleinspannung zum Betrieb von Türsignalanlagen (Klingel, Summer oder Gong) erzeugt und dauernd an die Netzspannung angeschlossen ist.

Gemäß DIN EN 61558-2-8:2011-03 bzw. VDE 0570-2-8:2011-03 (Sicherheit von Transformatoren, Drosseln, Netzgeräten und entsprechender Kombinationen - Teil 2-8: Besondere Anforderungen und Prüfungen an Transformatoren und Netzgeräten für Klingeln und Läutewerke) müssen Klingeltransformatoren Sicherheitstransformatoren und "unbedingt kurzschlussfest" sein.

Aufbau und Besonderheiten

Bei Klingeltransformatoren sind der Kernquerschnitt, dessen Konstruktion und der ohmsche Widerstand der Wicklungen so gewählt, dass der bei einem Kurzschluss in der Sekundärwicklung fließende Strom zu keiner unzulässigen Erwärmung des Transformators führt. Die Kurzschlussfestigkeit kann auch durch eine selbstrückstellende Sicherung gewährleistet sein.

Klingeltransformatoren sind Sicherheitstransformatoren, das heißt, sie besitzen zwischen Primär- und Sekundärwicklung eine doppelte oder verstärkte Isolierung.

Die Bemessungsleistung von Transformatoren für Klingeln und Läutewerke beträgt laut  DIN EN 61558-2-8:2011-03 (VDE 0570-2-8:2011-03) maximal 100 VA. Die Leerlauf-Ausgangsspannung darf maximal 33 V Wechselspannung oder (bei Geräten mit eingebautem Gleichrichter) 46 V Gleichspannung nicht überschreiten, und die Bemessungs-Ausgangsspannung darf maximal 24 V Wechselspannung oder 33 V geglättete Gleichspannung betragen.

Klingeltransformatoren sind manchmal so konstruiert, dass die Ausgangsklemmen (Sekundärspannung) frei zugänglich sind, ohne dass die Klemmen der Netzspannung freigelegt werden müssen.

Die Sekundärwicklung hat teilweise mehrere Abgriffe, beispielsweise mit Spannungen von 3 Volt, 5 Volt, 8 Volt oder 12 Volt. Die Leerlaufspannung bei Klingeltransformatoren kann wesentlich höher als die Nennspannung sein.

Leerlauf-Verlustleistung
Da Klingeltransformatoren ohne Unterbrechung am Stromnetz angeschlossen sind, kommt deren Leerlaufverlustleistung eine große Bedeutung zu. Die Effizienz bei der Nutzung ist hingegen nahezu belanglos. Klingeltransformatoren sollen möglichst geringe Leerverluste haben. Die Leerlaufverluste sind stark von Trafogröße und Bauart abhängig und betragen zum Beispiel 0,2 Watt oder 2,85 Watt

The Tank Museum is situated in the garrison village of Bovington, at the heart of the rural English county of Dorset.
LINSAY RD, BOVINGTON, WAREHAM BH20 6JG
The Tank Museum is in south Dorset near Wareham and is signposted by the Brown tourist signs when approaching from Dorchester, Blandford, Weymouth and Poole.
The Tank Museum is about a 30-minute drive from these locations, about 45 minutes from Bournemouth and Salisbury, and about an hour from Southampton and Yeovil.
There is plenty of free parking on site.
The Tank Museum's nearest station is Wool (1.5 miles), which is on the South Western Railway mainline from London Waterloo to Weymouth. Trains are frequent in both directions, and whilst it is walkable in about 30 minutes, you may prefer using local taxi company (Garrison Cars, T: 01929 463395) to take you to and from the station. Train timetable here.
During the summer, rail users can travel from Wool station to the Museum entrance. Please find the timetable here. For Special Events (TANKFEST and Tiger Day) there is a shuttle bus from Wool train station.
The Tank Museum's is seasonally served by local bus services – although these are subject to change. For Special Events (TANKFEST & Tiger Day) there is a shuttle bus from Wool train station. If you are travelling to the Museum from Wool, Wareham or Lulworth, please find the timetable here. If you are travelling from Bridport, Dorchester or Weymouth, use the special summer service here.
The Tank Museum's nearest international airports are Southampton and Bristol, both approximately an hour and a half from the Museum.
From Southampton airport, there are regular trains from Southampton Airport Parkway, less than 100 steps from the airport exit, where you can travel to Wool station. They also have a variety of car hire options – find out more here.
From Bristol, you can take the Airport Flyer Express to Bristol Temple Meads station, continuing onto Wool either via Southampton or Dorchester. Find details and book trains here. Alternatively, you can hire a car from the airport – details here.
The Museum is also conveniently close to London, meaning journeys from London Gatwick or Heathrow are no problem at all. The Heathrow Express takes you to Paddington, where you can take the tube to Waterloo where there are direct trains to Wool – details here. Similarly, the Gatwick Express takes you straight to Waterloo. Both airports operate car hire services as well. Find details here for Heathrow and here for Gatwick.
Located very close to the South Coast, The Tank Museum has several nearby ferry ports which have transport to France and Spain , including Poole, Portsmouth and Plymouth, and is four hours from Dover. You can also travel by ferry from the Channel Islands to Poole and Portsmouth. All these towns have train stations approximately half an hour away from the port, with Poole running a shuttle bus service. There are also local taxi services who can take you to the town centre.
There is plenty of accommodation in the area, but it does book up fast close to Special Events. If you are using public transport, we recommend looking in Wareham, Dorchester, Weymouth, Poole or Bournemouth, as they are all within 30 minutes on the main train line to Wool.
There are also lots of campsites and caravan sites nearby. While we have plenty of parking for motorhomes, regrettably we don't allow overnight parking.
We recommend looking for options on TripAdvisor or Visit Dorset.

I am linking up with Blog Hoppin for their Back to School Linky Party and Giveaway. The following are some of my favorite books to read to my kiddos on the first day of school and beginning of a new school year.
1. The Night Before First Grade-This is a great book to read to first graders. It talks about the previous year in kindergarten in the book. It makes the kids think about the previous year and a brand new year. It also discusses it being okay if you are not in the same room with a friend from the previous year.
2. Mouse's First Day- This is a good book that has surprises on each page. The kids guess what mouse sees at school just by looking at a small piece of the item. For example: a pencil. Just a fun read aloud.
3. First Day Jitters- This book has my name written all over it. I think I am more nervous on the first day than my kiddos. I truly have sweaty palms and the nervous shakes. But after a few weeks its smooth sailing.....hopefully.
4. Howard B, Wigglebottom Learns to Listen- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! My mom bought it for me and it so good with teaching students the proper rules for school. In the beginning of the book Howard doesnt listen. It shows the bad things that could happen from not listneing. By the end of the book, it shows Howard listening. He is happy at the end because he is a good listener.
5. David Goes to School- This book is a must for the beginning of the school year. It goes well with a rules lesson. Each page shows a rule that David breaks. At this time, for each page, we discuss why David should not act this way. THis book really helps the students a lot.
6. Chrysanthemum-I like to use this book to discuss bullying and names. It is important to teach students about bullying because even at a young age it happens a lot. We have a lot of fun using this book to complete activities using each student's name.
7. Pete the Cat- This is the newest book I have added to my collection. We had so much fun jammin with Pete. I love my BLUE shoes! I love my BLUE shoes! They really danced along and sang the song. The cd of the book is awesome and it was a fun book for the first week of school.
8. The Kissing Hand- I think this book will forever be my favorite back to school book. It is just so sweet and the students really love the kissing hand secret. I dont know if this book was out when I was little but I know i would have loved it. I defintely needed it! I was such a daddy's girl and wanting to stay at home with him.
9. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?- What more can I say? One of the most popular children's book I know. Love it!!!
10. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom- A great book for letter recognition and matching uppercase/lowercase letters. The video is super cute! It is on Safari.
Yes! It's so hard not to. I try to go to the library whenever I can but my weakness is garage sales. I can really spend at those.
Thanks! The kiddos love these books!
Hi! I love your blog and post of your fave back to school books. I also use a few of those also. I like to read a new one everyday during the first week or two of school. I also found a funny Amelia Bedelia book about her first day of school. I remember reading Amelia Bedelia when I was young so I was excited to share her with my students this year.
I loved Amelia Bedelia growing up! Thanks again!
Great! I love these books!

Saudi Women Get Behind Wheel For 'Drive-In' Protest
By Bill Chappell • Oct 26, 2013
Women in Saudi Arabia are braving a ban on their ability to drive, taking to the streets Saturday as part of a push to allow women to attain driver's licenses. Thousands of people have signed an online petition supporting the protest, which government and religious officials have spoken out against.
NPR's Deborah Amos filed this report from Riyadh for our Newscast unit:
Sony Explains Why Its PlayStation 4 Costs $1,845 In Brazil
Sony's new PlayStation 4 won't be on store shelves until next month, but the gaming console has already raised eyebrows in Brazil, after reports that it would cost 3,999 Brazilian real — or about $1,845 at today's exchange rate.
The company says the steep cost isn't a case of price gouging, but instead a sign of Brazil's heavy taxes and fees on imported electronics.
The game system will be released in the United States on Nov. 15 and in countries including Brazil later that month. Large retailers in the U.S. will offer the PS4 at a base price of around $400.
Cuba To Phase Out Two-Peso Currency System
Cuba will end the two-currency system it has used for nearly 20 years. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba has used either American currency or a peso that's pegged to the dollar alongside its national peso.
The monetary unification will phase out a system that has become a symbol of exclusivity and foreign wealth. Many products that are imported into the country can be bought only with the dollar-based convertible peso. But most Cubans are paid in the standard peso, which is worth just a fraction of the other currency.
Amazon Raises Minimum Purchase For Free Shipping By $10
Customers who hope to buy enough from Amazon's website to garner free shipping are now facing a higher bar, as the giant retailer raised its minimum order size from $25 to $35. The change took effect Monday, as the busy holiday shopping season looms.
"This is the first time in more than a decade that Amazon has altered the minimum order for free shipping in the US," the company said in announcing the change.
NCAA Won't Ban Miami Hurricanes From Bowls Over Booster's Gifts
The University of Miami "lacked institutional control" and didn't notice multiple violations by a booster who for years gave cash and gifts to athletes, the NCAA said. But the organization says the school's football team can play in the postseason, stopping short of the harshest punishment available.
Roma Couple Charged With Abducting Girl; Missing-Child Tips Pour In
Greek officials who are trying to determine the origin of a young blond girl found living in a Roma settlement last week have received thousands of calls since releasing her photo. Some callers offer information; others say the girl may be their child. The head of a charity that's now caring for the girl says about 10 missing-children cases are being reviewed.
Cold Crime: Jell-O Stolen From Work Fridge Sparks Police Call
The limits of workplace theft are being tested in Pennsylvania, where a man called police this month to complain that his Jell-O had been stolen. The flavor was strawberry, he said. And it wasn't the first instance of fridge-theft.
The story comes from Philadelphia's CBS KYW-TV:
Fugitive Arrest: Former Banking Executive Caught In Italy
A former UBS bank executive who has been a fugitive since being indicted on federal charges in 2008 has been arrested in Italy. Swiss citizen Raoul Weil, the former head of UBS Global Wealth Management International, is accused of defrauding the U.S. government by helping clients evade taxes.
From Rome, NPR's Sylvia Poggioli filed this report for our Newscast unit:
Obama: Health Care Site Is Troubled; Affordable Care Act Is Not
The website that's meant to allow Americans to shop and sign up for new medical plans under the Affordable Care Act isn't working as well as it should, President Obama says. But he promised that the problems will be fixed — and he said the Affordable Care Act is bringing many benefits that aren't tied to those problems.
"Nobody is madder than me that the website isn't working as it should — which means that it's going to get fixed," Obama told a crowd at an outdoor address at the White House.
Supreme Court Will Hear Case On Executions And Mental Disability
The standard by which a person is judged to be mentally competent enough to face execution for a crime will be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed Monday to hear a Florida case revolving around that issue.
The capital punishment case, Hall, Freddie L. v. Fla., centers on the standard for judging mental disability and how state officials arrive at that judgment. The case will be argued in Washington early in 2014.
Hurricane Raymond Strengthens As it Moves Toward Mexico In Pacific
Hurricane Raymond has been upgraded to a Category 3 storm in the Pacific Ocean, as it moves slowly northward toward Mexico's southwest coast. Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center say it could gain more strength before it begins to weaken Tuesday.
Monday morning, the Hurricane Center said that Raymond had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph, with stronger gusts recorded. The storm is moving northward at a 2 mph pace from its current location about 165 miles west-southwest of Acapulco. It was some 100 miles from the coast.

Recently I posted an article by Jeff Selingo to my LinkedIn feed entitled "What happens when millions of jobs are lost to automation." Predictably, those who actually read the article decided it was about education -- specifically, how a lot of people are being educated to do things that no one will be doing after a few years. Meanwhile, people who read only the title commented that even more jobs will be created in our hyperautomated future.
The issue is more complicated. When we defund education and fail to address long-standing social issues, we simply don't prepare future generations (or even much of the current one) for this future. As you automate away the jobs held by people of color and the poor while cutting access to education, you create a terrible cycle of increasing poverty. Also, in a market economy, automation doesn't always eliminate a job right away, but it does lower the salary offered for performing it.
Some of these folks are currently employed at a low wage in various bureaucracies as cogs in a complicated machine. As more of those jobs are automated away, will there be enough bureaucracy to employ low-skilled workers?
Possibly. Look at our industry, which is supposed to be about finding new efficiency. Most IT organizations grow to where they need more people to deal with the people they already have -- or as Oscar Wilde said, "The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy." We were supposed to save the world from inefficient nonsense (like the 50 times I filled out my son's name on forms to participate in soccer), not create our own.
I've never liked the A player, B player nonsense. It mostly lets drones from Stanford to hire more clones of themselves while ignoring the rest of the world or acknowledge that luck and a whole lot of money are probably more predictive than an arbitrary nonfalsifiable theory of intellectual caste (that oddly looks a lot more like socioeconomic class most of the time). Also, sports analogies are usually terrible ways of understanding the human condition outside of steroid addiction.
The truth is some people have critical thinking skills, some have to be taught, and some will never really cross the chasm.
A confusing array of options proliferates any modern coffee shop. The barista serves several purposes a machine can't. Most of the time I order the same thing, but sometimes I want something different. Sure, maybe the barista makes the same or possibly worse recommendations than an AI with my profile could. But she also helps me get over my discomfort with my selection. Also, if she messes up or if I'm having trouble wading through the options, she's pleasant, and I don't get particularly upset. Bartenders serve a similar function -- also, they're often cheaper than therapy.
Don't get me wrong; a good, strong search engine can serve a multitude of my needs. (Disclosure: I work for Lucidworks, which sells search software.) But sometimes I require a human touch to make a decision.
Uber's pushing hard into driverless cars. Have you ever used Google Maps when a municipality suddenly started construction somewhere? Has Google Maps ever had a total conniption trying to push you to a route it knew -- while you detoured? Sure, you can add some kind of "construction avoidance," but ultimately a human needs to troubleshoots this. I suspect at the low end, this will be a big part of how most taxi/Uber/Lyft rides work in the United States: At the high end (black cars) I suspect there will at least be "driver assisted" vehicles, to avoid the hassle of getting out and walking around a mess in the rain.
In less developed countries, driverless cars are probably further away. It's difficult to imagine a driverless car navigating the roads of Pune, Bangalore, Sao Paulo, or Bangkok. Heck, I'm not sure Boston or Rome have traffic controls either.
Sure, an expert system, computer vision, and a few robots could handle my landscaping most of the time. But due to one-off events and various multifaceted problems, this is a few years away -- possibly further than driverless cars.
My whole yard used to drain into my laundry room. This took several years and different people to resolve. It turned out to entail regrading the backyard, putting in a lot more drainage, and installing a much better drain.
There are a hundred variations on similar problems and many, many variables. Yes, we can create AI systems that can come up with the right solutions ... most of the time. But they will take a long time to develop and train -- and longer still to handle "anything" and make the right choices.
Today computers can and do generate logos and brand names, sometimes with considerable success. But more complicated art and design requires a creative touch and insight into how others may perceive it.
It takes a fair amount of empathy to make sure that something looks good and feels good while serving a practical purpose. Robots don't sit on a couch.
One day maybe neural nets can take over the bits and pieces, but ultimately, creativity is the most difficult intelligence to mimic.
I reserve my biggest insults for uncooperative machines -- and frequently disregard whatever it is that they tell me to do when a message pops on the screen.
Projecting machine authority is difficult. RoboCop had to shoot his way through his problems. When it comes to teaching, computer-based training existed long before MOOCs were invented. Not a lot is new here, but understanding how a kid thinks about a problem, then helping them through it requires both empathy and a projection of authority.
Wide-scale automation will require a lot of infrastructure investment to accomplish. A lot of it will happen relatively soon. Yes, smart machines will be able to drive, load trucks, and maybe suggest the caffeine I want. Even coding jobs may be eliminated.
But creativity and that organic "leap" to new ways of thinking will always give artisans a place. There will always be the performance arts. There will always be sticky situations that are hard to pre-program and the people who need to figure out the algorithms or techniques to train machines to do these things.
More jobs? Probably not. But fewer of the old ones may go away than you think.

Remembering Our Past
(The following information was taken from research done by Bernice Pluchoes in 1997 and from notes of Nora Self and parish directories)
Our first church was built in 1881 and was considered a mission church of St. James Parish. It was a frame building built just south of Lacamas Lake. A cemetery was started in the back. There was a woodburner stove in the church and whoever got there first would go out and cut the first tree that was closest to it for fuel. During the winter when roads were rutted and washed out, our early settlers often had to go on foot or horseback to attend the monthly Mass.
In 1901-02 the second church in the Camas area was built on 14th and Birch Street. Much of the construction was done by parishioners and cost $600. The church and parish were given the name of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Around 1900 a little church was built in Washougal 1/4 mile from present day Evergreen Way and Sunset View Road. St. Anthony's had Mass once a month and was in use until the 1940s.
The Holy Cross Cemetery attached to that church is still administered by our parish and has recently undergone some major improvements.
Meanwhile, wind and weather took a toll on the small church on 14th and Birch street in Camas and now it was time to build a new church. The new church was dedicated on April 1950 at a cost of $130,000. During this time, the Stevenson church, Our Lady Star Of The Sea, was attached to the Camas parish as a mission.
The Aquinas Center was constructed in 1962. It was the home of the Montessori School and Christian Education classes. The Fireside Room was available for receptions and parties. The AC also housed the parish library and office.
During this time, to o, with Vatican II guidelines to follow, new directions for church architecture were implemented. The altar was brought forward, the English Mass was begun and new stained-glass memorial windows designed in France were installed.
The church was again remodeled around 2006, adding marble fixtures and tapestries.
The adoration chapel has recently (2017) undergone some refurbishing and the Fireside Room will get a facelift in the near future.
We have had many dedicated priests serve our community. A lovely banner is hanging just outside the sacristy listing the priests through our history and was created by Fran Hewitt.
