The memoirs of General der Flieger a.D. Alfred Mahncke are the first from a former General of the German Luftwaffe to be published in the English language since those of Generalfeldmarschall Albert Kesselring in 1953. Since then, thousands of books have been written on every aspect of the Luftwaffes history, development, personalities, aircraft, campaigns, operations and ultimate defeat. But the historiography has lacked a fresh, detailed and personal insight into the leadership and command of the Luftwaffe from its earliest years through to the period of crisis which ensued after the tragedy of Stalingrad. Alfred Mahnckes For Kaiser and Hitler rectifies this omission, providing those with an interest in the history of the German military machine with an absorbing, detailed, highly readable and evocative account of life within the Luftwaffe at senior command level.Yet Mahnckes account is much more than that for as he states, his is a story spanning …the national autocracy of the Monarchy and the unsuccessful parliamentary democracy of the Weimar Republic, to the failed National Socialist dictatorship. It is also a chronicle of the very beginnings of military aviation. Mahncke was among the first German military aviators and flew with the Kaisers fledgling air unit in 1911, witnessing and experiencing the exhilaration and dangers of flying in some of the earliest military planes. He met the Kaiser, the German Crown Prince and various members of the Imperial royal family, as well as Hindenburg and many prominent German political and military figures. He flew in an early Zeppelin airship. By the outbreak of the First World War, Mahncke was an experienced pilot and he flew subsequently over the Western and Eastern Fronts, before assuming staff positions in France and Russia where he controlled tactical air operations. He went on a dive in a German U-boat in 1915 and later traveled to Palestine. He also suffered, and describes in highly graphic and emotional terms, the carnage and horror of the trench warfare on the Western Front in 1917. In the dark years of the interwar period following in the wake of the Versailles Treaty, Mahncke served in senior positions with the military police and his writing offers a valuable insight into life in the Weimar Republic and of the uncomfortable rise of National Socialism and Adolf Hitler whom he first met in 1933 from the viewpoint of the German conservative middle classes and the military. He met Charles Lindbergh and attended the controversial 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin as well as the Nuremberg rallies where he shared a podium with the Führer. In 1935, he joined the fledgling Luftwaffe, experiencing from his position as overseer and champion of air sport in the Third Reich at firsthand the politics, personalities and measures of stealth used to rebuild German air power under Nazi control. He witnessed, and describes vividly, the emergence of an awesome but not flawless new force in aviation and its eventual deployment in Hitlers invasion of Russia in June 1941, culminating in the drive into the Caucasus and Crimea and the advance on the Volga. Mahncke was deeply involved in Luftwaffe operations at Stalingrad and later in the Kuban in 1943, before moving to Italy, where he coordinated the desperate German air defense of Sicily ahead of the slow, tenacious defense and ultimate retreat through the Italian mainland throughout 1943 and 1944. Mahncke met and worked with Göring, Udet, Milch, Kesselring, Jeschonnek, von Richthofen and many other senior commanders of the Luftwaffe and German armed forces. He describes their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their vision or lack of it. For Kaiser and Hitler is unapologetic, honest, readable and engaging. It provides an intriguing insight for those with an interest in the air power and military history of the First World War and the Third Reich and forms an important resource for scholarship.Translator Jochen O.E.O. (John) Mahncke was born in Königsberg, East Prussia in 1926. While attending high school in Berlin, he was conscripted as an anti-aircraft auxiliary in the Flak defense of Berlin from February 1943 to mid-1944. He joined the Wehrmacht as a Panzergrenadier in 1944 and was dispatched to Italy where he served as an NCO (Officer Cadet). He was taken Prisoner of War by American forces in May 1945 and handed over to the British later that year and was shipped to North Africa. He was held in various PoW camps at El Dabbah, near El Alamein, until 1947. In mid-1947 he was moved to Cairo and then to the Suez Canal Zone where he served in a guard unit intended to protect British troops in their camps. By the time he was repatriated to Germany at the end of 1948, he was working as an assistant paymaster for the British administration at Port Said/Port Fouad. Upon returning to Germany he took up an apprenticeship with an import/export business in Hamburg, but emigrated to South Africa in 1957 where he now lives with his wife and where he worked in the printing and packaging industry in Johannesburg and Cape Town until retirement in 1992. He has two sons and four grandchildren. Jochen Mahncke is author of U-Boats and Spies in Southern Africa: Anecdotes, Legends, Stories (Cape Town, 2007) and is an Honorary Life Member of the South African Military History Society.

Admission control for a multi-server queue with abandonment

In a M/M/N+M queue, when there are many customers waiting, it may be preferable to reject a new arrival rather than risk that arrival later abandoning without receiving service. On the other hand, rejecting new arrivals increases the percentage of time servers are idle, which also may not be desirable. We address these trade-offs by considering an admission control problem for a M/M/N+M queue when there are costs associated with customer abandonment, server idleness, and turning away customers. First, we formulate the relevant Markov decision process (MDP), show that the optimal policy is of threshold form, and provide a simple and efficient iterative algorithm that does not presuppose a bounded state space to compute the minimum infinite horizon expected average cost and associated threshold level. Under certain conditions we can guarantee that the algorithm provides an exact optimal solution when it stops; otherwise, the algorithm stops when a provided bound on the optimality gap is reached. Next, we solve the approximating diffusion control problem (DCP) that arises in the Halfin–Whitt many-server limit regime. This allows us to establish that the parameter space has a sharp division. Specifically, there is an optimal solution with a finite threshold level when the cost of an abandonment exceeds the cost of rejecting a customer; otherwise, there is an optimal solution that exercises no control. This analysis also yields a convenient analytic expression for the infinite horizon expected average cost as a function of the threshold level. Finally, we propose a policy for the original system that is based on the DCP solution, and show that this policy is asymptotically optimal. Our extensive numerical study shows that the control that arises from solving the DCP achieves a very similar cost to the control that arises from solving the MDP, even when the number of servers is small.

The Pittman-Kaufman 1843 Seated Dollar, PR641843 $1 PR64 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. This is a fabulous coin that ranks among the finest known. Its pedigree traces to the John Jay Pittman Collection that included a complete 1843 proof set in its original case of issue.
The 1843 proof dollar is very rare. David Bowers, in his Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, estimates that 15 to 25 pieces were struck, and that between five and nine pieces have survived to the present day. Walter Breen, in his Proof Encyclopedia, enumerates eight specimens. David Akers (1997) agrees with these figures and indicates that he has personally seen six different examples, with the possible existence of a "few more." The certified population of 12 specimens is more or less in concert with the foregoing estimates, though some coins are likely resubmissions.
Our research has identified five separate examples of certified 1843 proof dollars:
1. PR64 NGC. The Kaufman coin. Judge Joseph F. Sawicki (May 10, 1948); John Jay Pittman Collection (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 832 (part of an 1843 proof set); Phil Kaufman (Heritage, 7-8/2008), lot 1810.
2. PR64 NGC. Dr. John L. Pellegrini Collection (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 10259; Heritage (1/2007), lot 1060.
3. PR64 NGC. Frederic W. Geiss Collection (B. Max Mehl, 2/1947), lot 337; Floyd T. Starr Collection (Stack's, 10/1992), lot 583; David Queller Collection (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 2140.
4. PR63 NGC. Will W. Neil Collection (B. Max Mehl, 7/1947), as part of lot 2292; Amon G. Carter, Jr. Family Collection (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 249; Kenneth C. Long Estate Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/1995), lot 1213; Bowers and Merena (8/1998), lot 236; Richmond Collection, Part II (David Lawrence Rare Coins, 11/2004), lot 1508.
5. PR63 PCGS. Rod Sweet Collection (Bowers and Merena, 7/2005), lot 1004.
A mélange of violet, sky-blue, reddish-gold, and golden-orange patination adorns both sides of this near-Gem proof, being somewhat softer in hue in the fields. The toning does not completely mask the mirrors of the latter, hence a degree of contrast with the motifs is evident when the coin is tilted slightly beneath a light source. A solid strike lends exceptional detail to the design elements, including complete separation of Liberty's foot, sandal, and straps, and bold ribbing on the reverse leaves and arrow heads. A minute mark to the right of star 9 aids in identifying the coin.

Using the thin-lens equation in conjunction with our signconventions, show that for a converging lens (irrespective of thevalue of its focal length) and a virtual object (regardless of itsposition with respect to the focal point of your lens), the imageformed by the lens of this virtual object always lies between thelens and the position of the virtual object. Also show that, for avirtual object, the image distance is always smaller than theconverging lens's focal length. Moreover, show that the image isalways smaller than the virtual object but has the sameorientation.
This is what I got for the first part:
This is what I got for the first part:
f2 > 0
1/f2 = 1/-S + 1/S'
That makes 0<S'<S in magnitude and S' and Sare on opposite signs. S is negative because it is virtualand on the opposite side of the second lens. S' cannotbe greater than S in magnitude because that would make |1/S'|smaller than |1/S| which would make f2 negative, which it cannotbe. The image formed by the virtual object is in between thelens and the virtual object because the image distance and virtualobject distance are opposite signs, which places them on the sameside of the lens.

MOSCOW (September 29, 2013)--Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, an imprisoned member of the Russian punk group Pussy Riot, was moved to a prison hospital Sunday on the seventh day of a hunger strike her husband said.
Tolokonnikova began the hunger strike on Sept. 23 to protest what she described as inhumane working conditions and threats to her life at a women's penal colony.
Her husband, Pyotr Verzilov, told the Interfax news agency that she was hospitalized Sunday, which he described as a positive step.
Tolokonnikova's lawyers have been barred from speaking to or visiting her since Thursday, heightening concerns about her condition.
Tolokonnikova and another Pussy Riot member are serving two-year sentences after protesting Russian leader Vladimir Putin's rule in an impromptu performance in early 2012 inside Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral.

Future Ventures India IPO Fully Subscribed
MUMBAI -- Future Ventures India Ltd.'s initial share sale of up to 7.5 billion rupees ($169 million) was fully subscribed, just hours ahead of closing, according to stock exchange data.
Future Ventures had received bids for 1.12 times the shares on offer as of 0730 GMT, data on the National Stock Exchange showed.
The financial services firm, a part of the Future Group, had set an indicative price band of 10 rupees to 11 rupees per share for the issue, which opened Monday.
The response to the initial public offering was tepid, and may blunt hopes of a revival in equity capital markets, analysts and investment bankers said. Last week, Muthoot Finance Ltd. sold 9.1 billion rupees ($205 million) in its share sale and was oversubscribed more than 24 times.
The Future Ventures deal is the second-largest IPO to be launched in India this year, after the Muthoot share sale, and is being closely watched for indications of whether primary market activity in India may revive after a relatively weak patch so far this year.
Enam Securities Pvt. Ltd., JM Financial Consultants Pvt. Ltd. and Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd. are managing the deal.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman and Commissioner Gregory Jaczko has announced he's stepping down after nearly eight years at the agency. The resignation comes a few months after an inspector general report alleged Jaczko had bullied some of the commission's staff and, according to an Associated Press report published at Fox News, ahead of a "potentially blistering" report that follows up on the earlier one.
"After an incredibly productive three years as chairman, I have decided this is the appropriate time to continue my efforts to ensure public safety in a different forum," Jaczko wrote May 21 on the NRC blog. "This is the right time to pass along the public safety torch to a new chairman who will keep a strong focus on carrying out the vital mission of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."
Jaczko outlined some of the work the agency had done under his leadership in the last year, including responding to the accident at the Fukushima reactors in Japan, and multiple other incidents at U.S. reactors ranging from flooding to an earthquake and tornadoes to damaged plant structures.
Sworn in as commissioner Jan. 21, 2005, Jaczko's role has involved conducting administrative, organizational, planning, budgetary and certain personnel functions. He became chairman May of 2009.
Before assuming the position as commissioner, Jaczko served as appropriations director for Sen. Harry Reid. He began his Washington, D.C., career as a congressional science fellow in the office of Rep. Edward Markey. Additionally, Jaczko has taught science and policy at Georgetown University as an adjunct professor.
In 2011, an inspector general report said Jaczko had intimidated staff who disagreed with him. Women at the agency felt especially targeted, according to four NCR commissioners who sent a letter to the White House on Oct. 13 complaining how Jaczko's actions had created "grave concern." The same commissioners "sat next to Jaczko last December and told Congress he was an intimidating bully whose actions could compromise the nation's nuclear safety," according to the AP report.
Jaczko denied any wrongdoing at the time and did not mention the controversy in his blog post..
Jaczko said his resignation will be effective upon the confirmation of his successor. There is no word yet on what he plans to do next.

I open IE, and the router then redirects to 192.168.0.1 from Google. This is the config page, to try to fix the connection. In time, the connection fixes, but clicking refresh doesn't get me on to Google, and neither does the top right search bar. The only thing I've found that works is reopening IE. I think that IE 'learns' in some way that Google's IP is 192.168.0.1. How can I persuade it that it's wrong, without reopening.
Ideally, I'd like a fix which I only have to do once. I've got VC++ 2010, so if there's a short Add-on I need to write, I can.
It turns out that I don't always need to restart IE. Opening new tabs, I got the sequence Google, Router, Google, Router, Google, Google. Odd or what?
Edit 2:
Just to be clear, I'll give an exact example. I opened IE8, and the home page www.google.co.uk/ was redirected to *192.168.0.1/sky_information.html*. I then noticed that the status light on my router had turned green, so I clicked Refresh, and got the normal page for 192.168.0.1, which went to *www.google.co.uk/sky_router_status.html*, which loaded sucessfully with a status page on my router. I then opened a new tab, and went to www.google.co.uk/, which loaded sucessfully, and which I used to reach this page.

Tasting Notes
Dark red with violet hue. Prominent plum, cassis, smoked beacon aromas that are complimented with hints of vanilla.On the palate, it is a medium bodied wine packed with strawberry, raspberry and spicy flavours. Soft matured tanninwith a fruity finish. An easy, approachable Pinotage that can be enjoyed now, and as the wine matures for the nextthree to four years.
Wine Maker Notes
The grapes were hand-picked when the crop reached maturity at 23,4-24,5° Brix by the beginning of February.In the cellar, the juice fermented on the skins for 10 days at 82.4°F. After malolactic fermentation the wine wasmatured in second-fill casks for 18 months. The wine was bottle-matured for a further 18 months before release.
Food Pairing
This wine is an ideal accompaniment to grilled lamb and poultry, spare ribs, pork roasts and game fish. It is perfect with classic Cape cuisine like Bobotie and Malay Curries, as well as spicy Mexican food.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Io Therapeutics agreed to collaborate with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) to evaluate the company's experimental Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) agonist compound IRX4204 as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease. The collaboration, funded by MJFF, will examine the effects of IRX4204 in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease. If the results are promising, these preclinical studies could lead to the initiation of a clinical trial.
"It was reported in the medical literature nearly a decade ago that signaling through RXR pathways promotes survival of dopaminergic neurons, the primary type of cell being destroyed in Parkinson's disease," explained Rosh Chandraratna, Ph.D., CSO of Io Therapeutics. "IRX4204 is a first-in-class highly potent and specific agonist of RXR. We are hopeful that it will prove useful for treating Parkinson's disease, perhaps even for slowing its progression."
"IRX4204 has been well tolerated in clinical trials in patients with various cancers. Io Therapeutics is now expanding the development program for IRX4204 to include its evaluation as a treatment for Parkinson's disease," added Martin E. Sanders, M.D., chairman and CEO of the company.
According to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF), as many as one million Americans live with the disease, which is more than the combined number of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and Lou Gehrig's disease. Approximately 60,000 Americans are newly diagnosed each year, and this number does not reflect the thousands of cases that go undetected. The PDF also reports that an estimated seven to 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease.

Laura (Giorgione)
|c. 1506
|Oil on canvas transferred from panel
|41 cm × 33.5 cm (16 in × 13.2 in)
|Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna
Laura, formerly sometimes known as Portrait of a Young Bride, is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giorgione, c. 1506. It hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
The portrait depicts a young woman as a bride; most probably her name was Laura. Like Giorgione's other works, it is unsigned, but it is one of the less controversial attributions to Giorgione. An inscription on the reverse, accepted as early 16th-century, identifies Giorgione as the painter and provides the date, making this the only work by the artist bearing a reliable date.[1] Behind the young woman is a branch of laurel (Laurus), symbol of chastity, and carrying the nuptial veil. The gesture of opening the fur mantle uncovers the bosom. This may indicate fecundity (and, therefore, maternity) as an offer of love and a marriage blessed with children. As the laurel symbolized virtue, so the visible breast could symbolize the bride's conjugal fidelity.[2] It is only from the prudish perspective of the 19th or early 20th century that the baring of a breast would be viewed as meretricious. In the 16th century, nudity did not provoke disapproval, but was shown publicly and uninhibitedly. This painting, too, was publicly shown, probably by a proud noble who wished to celebrate his bride's attractiveness - her full build was entirely in keeping with contemporary Venetian ideals of beauty - as well as her virtue and chastity. The laurel was considered a symbol of virtue, as seen in Lorenzo de' Medici's "impresa", where it was accompanied by the motto: "Ita ut virtus". The veil wound about her shoulders and upper body is a bridal veil, and her bared right breast alludes to the proverbial chastity of the Amazons, who, according to antique legend, tolerated men only as a means of sexual reproduction, not, however, as a means of sexual gratification. Since contemporary morality permitted sexual reproduction only within the institution of marriage, the allusion to the Amazons implied a wife's commitment to conjugal fidelity.
Alternatively, the figure might show a courtesan—certainly many of the paintings in the Venetian tradition the Laura inspired were of figures to be read as courtesans, often posing as a mythological figure or the personification of an abstract quality.[3]
This work marked Giorgione's abandonment of Giovanni Bellini's models to embrace a Leonardesque style.

People pass on from one life to another according to the Buddhists and this according to them is the cycle. A being does not get free from the cycle of life until they live a pure sin-less life. And the living conditions of the next life of a being depends on how the being is carrying out his present life. When a person dies, according to the Buddhist customs certain rituals need to be performed to get the person ready for the next part of his life. According the Buddhists the corpse is either cremated or fed to the vulture. The Mahayana sect also follow the rituals where they have to expose the corpse to some natural entity like water, air or land. For example corpses are left in the woods or in particular places like river banks where they will get consumed by the forces of nature and their soul will move onto the next journey. The mandai columbarium which is a columbarium and crematorium in the mandai region of Singapore provide excellent facilities to perform the last rites of your loved ones. According to the Buddhists if a person can get rid of passion, aversion and ignorance their lives, then they achieve nirvana and get freed from the cycle of rebirth. These are called the 'three fires' or life that burn your life out and lead to an unfulfilled life. A Buddhists ultimate goal is to attain nirvana and nirvana comes under The Third Noble Truth, under the Four Noble Truths of Lord Buddha. Lord Buddh had left his life of comfort at the court to find the answer to all his queries, he had forgotten about worldly possessions and comfort and that is what Buddhists are meant to do in order to attain nirvana. Haven't you seen in the movies that monks who live in monasteries live with nothing but just a red cloth wrapped around them and don't believe in any kind of cravings.
There are two types of nirvana, one is the remainder nirvana and another is the non-remainder nirvana or the final nirvana. The great Lord Buddha is said to have achieved both but according to the Mahayana sect the final goal is to not attain nirvana but to attain Buddhahood where you keep on talking rebirths and help people to attain nirvana.
Nirvana is common in other religions too other than Buddhism like Hinduism and Jainism. Nirvana basically means to get freed from the cycle of rebirth and suffering. Later many new concepts were interpreted by various prophets as to what does nirvana exactly mean. According to interpretations made late nirvana means to live with any kind of emotion like love, greed, expetations and one has to abandon ones desires to attain nirvana. You need to remove yourself from the forest of defilement to attain complete nirvana.
Nirvana was once connected to immortality or attaining a medium where there is no death and many believed that Lord Buddha was a greater being than all of us.
