PM Lee urges workers to support leaders who care & work with them to secure a better future
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has urged workers to support leaders who care for them, and work with them to secure a better future.
In his May Day message, Mr Lee said making Singapore thrive cannot depend on the government alone.
Workers, employers and unions too, have a part to play.
Singapore's economy is in transition.
It's focussing more on quality growth, and not rapidly expanding like it used to.
As the country enters a new phase of slower growth, the Prime Minister said it must continue to create opportunities, develop new capabilities and improve the lives of Singaporeans.
And while the government will help Singaporeans and companies cope, Mr Lee Hens Loong called for support from tripartite partners.
He said workers must value their jobs, and strive to upgrade and adapt to changing conditions.
Companies too need to value workers and nurture a strong Singaporean core.
Mr Lee called on employers to share the "fruits of success with their workers and the community, and strengthen the social compact".
And unions, he said, must help their members adjust to the new landscape, and cooperate with employers to upgrade businesses, jobs and wages.
This year's Budget saw several initiatives to help workers and businesses adapt.
Among them - the $5.3 billion Transition Support Package to help businesses, raise productivity and rely less on foreign workers.
The Wage Credit Scheme will help businesses manage rising wage costs.
And for older and low wage workers, there's the improved Workfare scheme, that will raise incomes.
The government is also reviewing its social policies especially in healthcare and housing.
Mr Lee ended his message with a note of confidence, saying Singapore will succeed in its economic restructuring as it had done before.
He acknowledge each transition is difficult, but each time, the prime minister said, Singapore emerged stronger.

Men convicted of Harrods jobs scam
Published: 08 November 2013
Updated: 21:18, 08 November 2013
A sophisticated network of scammers who pretended to recruit for Harrods to prey on jobseekers and empty thousands of pounds from their accounts have been convicted, a court official has confirmed.
Members of the gang placed bogus adverts on the Gumtree website purporting to be from the upmarket retailer, waiting for responses from unwitting applicants.
The fraudsters then replied to the job hopefuls, asking for email addresses and CVs, the Old Bailey was previously told.
Armed with personal data, some of it gleaned from a secret computer malware virus sent to the applicants, members of the gang were able to hack into bank accounts.
In one case, a member of the public had £21,000 withdrawn from his account, the court heard.
Ajibola Akinlabi, Olalekan Awosile, Folasade Balogun and Damilare Oduwole, who are all of Nigerian descent but were living in south London, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud along with British man Tyrone Ellis, a court spokesman said.
Akinlabi's brother Babatunde Akinlabi was cleared of conspiracy to defraud by the jury following an eight-week trial.
The offences took place between January 2010 and December 2012.
Prosecutor Walton Hornsby said members of the gang used "mules" to intercept replacement bank cards ordered by senior figures in the network, unbeknown to their victims.
Other mules, also known as "foot soldiers", were used to withdraw money from bank accounts.
Mr Hornsby described Oduwole, of West Dulwich, as "the leader" in the scam.
The prosecutor told the trial: "The job adverts were posing as someone called Paul Simon, the 'human resources director at Harrods'.
"He would say there was a position available, and that he wanted them (the potential victims) to forward their email addresses and CV."
Police traced the adverts to computers used at Oduwole's home address.
Upon searching the one-bedroom flat, officers discovered a Mac laptop containing a document in draft form which the prosecution said was intended for the website.
Oduwole said his long-time friend and occasional lodger, Paul Cole, had been working on the document but had left the property to go to the gym. Police later found there was no evidence that Oduwole knew a man by that name.
Mr Hornsby said: "The prosecution say Paul Cole is a phantom. He is a ghost individual - he does not exist.
"He ('Cole') is a desperate attempt - the only way Mr Oduwole could explain how this running computer could have been there.
"If there is a smoking gun, this is surely it."
The guilty men will be sentenced at the Old Bailey later this month.

Reports: Paula Deen restaurant closes
A wildly popular Georgia restaurant at the center of a lawsuit that left the reputation of famed Southern celebrity cook Paula Deen in shambles has reportedly closed.
A wildly popular Georgia restaurant at the center of a lawsuit that left the reputation of famed Southern celebrity cook Paula Deen in shambles has reportedly closed.
Uncle Bubba's Seafood & Oyster House announced the closure Thursday on its Facebook page, The Savannah Morning News (http://bit.ly/1owsS1s) and WSAV television (http://bit.ly/1gseldc) reported.
"Thank you for 10 great years. Uncle Bubba's is now closed," the Facebook message said.
Deen's brother, restaurant operator Bubba Hiers, decided to shut the eatery's doors "in order to explore development options for the waterfront property on which the restaurant is located," the reports said, quoting a statement from the Key Group public relations and marketing company. "At this point, no specific plans have been announced," the statement said.
The closure was effective as of Thursday, and employees will be provided with severance pay and assistance looking for new jobs, the statement said.
Deen co-owned the restaurant with Hiers, who oversaw daily operations. Former employee Lisa Jackson sued them both in 2012, saying she worked in an environment rife with racial slurs and sexual innuendo during her five years as manager of the restaurant.
The case got little attention outside Savannah until Deen herself was questioned under oath in a legal deposition. A transcript filed with the court the following month showed Deen acknowledged using racial slurs in the past. When an attorney asked if she had ever used the N-word, Deen replied: "Yes, of course." She also added, "It's been a very long time."
Within a few days, the Food Network said it would not renew Deen's contract and yanked her shows off the air. Smithfield Foods, the pork producer that paid Deen as a celebrity endorser, dropped her soon after. Retailers including Wal-Mart and Target said they would no longer sell Deen's products, and publisher Ballantine scuttled plans for a cookbook even though it was the No. 1 seller on Amazon.
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last year after lawyers reached a deal.
This year, Deen has attempted to make a comeback, staging public cooking demonstrations and announcing plans for a new restaurant in Tennessee.
In February she announced that private investment firm Najafi Companies was investing $75 million to $100 million to help her bounce back, and that as part of the deal, she was launching an umbrella company, Paula Deen Ventures, to oversee her restaurants, cookbooks and product endorsements.

Esther Dyson Launches Population Health Challenge
A tech investor with a proven track record of attracting innovation and money to a variety of endeavors is looking for a few good communities to compete for the greatest improvement in five measures of health and economic vitality.
Healthcare ladies and gentlemen, start your communities.
That was the call on April 10 from angel investor and tech advisor Esther Dyson, whose population health dream has taken a big step toward reality with the launch of the Way to Wellville competition.
From now until May 23, Dyson's nonprofit startup, HICCup, is inviting communities to apply to be one of five contestants in a five-year-long competition to get healthy using everything from the latest fitness gadgets to reality TV. Dyson is HICCup's founder and chairman of EDventure Holdings.
The 20-page application form is not for the casual applicant. Individuals or consultants need not apply – we're talking community health organizations, other nonprofits or perhaps the local Better Business Bureau.
Esther Dyson's Population Health Dream
Why bother? Several reasons. Dyson is an early investor in all sorts of innovative startups, with a proven track record of attracting innovation and money to a variety of endeavors over the past 25 years. She also is a great listener, having convened various listening sessions around the country last fall to get this latest idea off the ground.

Death by poetry
I lay in the porcelain cool of the white bathtub,
A razor blade glinting and sparking on the floor,
I barley concise squint to see,
Thru slitted wrists,
I bleed poetry
Words flow freely now,
pumped to the rhythm,
Of a beating heart,
Crimson words,
Trickle slowly to your ears,
My silence now broken,
In poetry's freeing, suicide.

Silverlockby John Myers Myers
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Shipwrecked off Baltimore and rescued by a mysterious sailor, A. Clarence Shandon is taken to an unknown land where he undertakes a physical and allegorical journey that leads to encounters with Beowulf, Robin Hood, Huck Finn, Don Quixote, the Green Knight, and the goddess Circe, culminating in a descent into Hell.
Silverlock is one of the all-time great fantasy classics. In this richly picaresque story of a modern man's fruitful adventurings in legendary realms of gold, John Myers Myers has presented a glowing tapestry of real excitement and meaning.
In essence, this is the tale of Silverlock's wanderings in the Commonwealth, the land of immortal heroes real and imagined, in search of his true destiny. In form, it is sheer headlong narrative, with occasional clangorous verses woven into its fabric. In content, it is something between a many-peopled, incident-studded story of high emprise, and a morality for our time. Always it is fresh and bold in concept, superb in its execution ... How A. Clarence Shandon came to the Commonwealth, exchanging his everyday name and Chicago-bound life for that of a traveler beyond time; what great ones of old legend and modern story he encountered, and to what purpose; what loves he knew and what fights he fought; what trials befell him in the Pit, and what truth he discovered when at last he won to the Hippocrene Spring — these are matters of such crowding variety and implicit significance as the reader must discover for himself ... And in the discovering, the literate reader will have a wonderful time. He will be amused by the wicked wit that illumines the vast panorama, and intrigued by the challenge it offers his own learning. Most of all, he will be impressed by its profound knowledge, of our cultural heritage, and stirred by its vital interpretations.
The cult classic fantasy novel returns to print — first time in trade paperback.

Filed Dec. 27, 1971, Ser. No. 212,311 Int. Cl. H031: 13/22 US. Cl. 332--11 D 5 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In delta modulators, especially those known as adaptive delta modulators, numerous factors such as noise, delay, decision circuit hysteresis, and poor adaptive algorithms can result in instabilities in the form of low frequency, high amplitude oscillations.
Instabilities can be eliminated through means for producing an overshoot in the integrator output, and actuating the decision circuit while the overshoot is present.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to digital message transmission systems and, more particularly, to delta modulation systerns.
In conventional delta modulation systems, an analog signal to be encoded and transmitted is periodically compared with the output of an integrator circuit which is controlled by the transmitted pulse signal. This transmitted pulse signal is a train of positive or negative pulses, or marks and spaces, occurring at a constant rate. These transmitted pulses are also fed back to the integrator to increase or decrease its output. In the comparison of the integrator output with the instantaneous sample of the input signal, a decision is made by a decision circuit as to whether or not a pulse is to be transmitted, based upon the sign of the difference of the compared signals. Ideally, the reconstructed signal, i.e., the integrator output, will oscillate at high frequency and low amplitude about the input signal value, with the decision circuit detecting alternate positive and negative differences.
Unfortunately, imperfections in circuit components, circuit delays, spurious coupling, noise and hysteresis in the decision circuit all tend to have a deleterious effect on the decision process. Because of these defects, faulty decisions are made, giving rise to low frequency, high amplitude oscillations and instabilities which produce overall degradation of the message transmission.
An additional factor contributing to such signal degradation occurs in adaptive delta modulation systems which are designed to reduce overload and quantizing noise. In such systems, the step size of the incremental voltage applied to the integrating capacitor is varied on the basis of the previous history of the signal comparisons. Where hysteresis is present in the decision making process, the algorithm for varying the step size can produce quite large voltage swings, thereby enhancing the undesirable oscillation effects. Also, a poor algorithm alone can cause instabilities.
In US. Pat. No. 3,550,004 of James C. Candy, which issued Dec. 22, 1970, there is shown a circuit arrangement for eliminating the low frequency oscillations which occur in adaptive delta modulation encoders. In the circuits disclosed in that patent, the step weighting circuit is removed from the feedback circuit and comprises two weighted step generators, the outputs of which are selectively applied to the subtraction or comparator circuit in accordance with the feedback signal.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is designed to eliminate low frequency oscillations resulting from adaptive algorithms,
but also such oscillations which result from hysteresis in the decision process, which can arise from spurious coupling, delays or faulty components.
In a first illustrative embodiment of the invention, in an adaptive delta modulation system, the signal to be encoded and the integrator output are applied to a comparator circuit and a decision is made by a decision circuit as to whether a pulse or no pulse is to be transmitted. The transmitted pulse is fed back to a step size generator whose output is applied through a resistance to one side of the integrator capacitor. Connected between the other side of the integrator capacitor and ground is a parallel RC combination of a capacitor and a resistor.
In operation, the pulse from the step generator charges both the integrating capacitor and the RC capacitor. As a consequence, the charge on the two capacitors is greater than on the integrating capacitor alone thereby causing a greater than ordinary signal to be applied to the comparator. At the cessation of the pulse from the step pulse generator, the RC capacitor commences to discharge through the resistor, causing the signal sent to the comparator to decrease gradually. The RC time constant is chosen to be approximately one-half of a sample period, i.e., one-half the period between consecutive pulses from the pulse generator, and a clock circuit actuates the decision circuit after the cessation of the pulse from the pulse generator and just after the RC capacitor commences to discharge, that is, within approximately the first third of the discharge cycle. The net efiect of the RC circuit is to produce an overshoot in the integrator output which places it outside the hysteresis limits, and the decision is made while the overshoot is still present. In this way, a correct decision is assured without an overall distortion of the reconstructed signal.
In a second illustrative embodiment of the invention, the output of the step size pulse generator is applied through a resistance to the input of a high gain amplifier. The amplifier is shunted by a feedback circuit from its output to its input which comprises an integrating capacitor in series with a parallel RC network. In operation, the amplifier output charges the two capacitors in the same manner as before, the total charge on the capacitors acting to maintain the amplifier input at a low level. As in the case of the first embodiment, the combination produces an overshoot in the signal applied to the comparator, and the decision is made after cessation of the step pulse generator output, but while-the overshoot is present. At the receiver a similar integrator arrangement exists to insure a more accurate reconstruction of the signal.
In both embodiments of the invention, the integrator circuit produces an overshoot in the signal applied to the comparator, and the decision circuit is timed to make its decision while the overshoot is present.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The various features of the present invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1A and 1B are curves indicating desirable and undesirable behavior, respectively, of a delta modulator;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a delta modulator embodying the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a series of curves to illustrate the operation of the circuit of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 shows curves which illustrate the behavior of the cirduit of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a second illustrative embodiment of the invention.
In FIG. 1A there is shown an analog signal curve A and a reconstructed signal curve B for a typical adaptive delta modulator in the absence of hysteresis. It can be seen that the reconstructed signal oscillates about the analog input signal at a high frequency and low amplitude. It can be seen that the reconstructed signal steps upward or downward to correct any difference between itself and the input signal. As is typical in adaptive delta modulators, the step size increases when there is a continuous sequence of steps in the same direction. Adaptive delta modulators which function in the manner are numerous and well known in the art, obeying many different algorithms depending upon their particular function.
FIG. 1B demonstrates the behavior of the reconstructed signal in the presence of hysteresis as represented by the dashed lines CC, and also a poor algorithm. With hysteresis present, the decision circuit tends to make the same decision as the immediately preceding one whenever the reconstructed signal lies Within the dashed lines. It can be seen that such behavior results in a low frequency, high amplitude oscillation about the input signal which seriously degrades the system performance.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an adaptive delta modulator s11 embodying the principles of the present invention, which substantially eliminates the undesirable oscillations of the type depicted in FIG. 1B. Inasmuch as adaptive delta modulation systems are known in the art, in the interests of simplicity a detailed diagram of such an arrangement has not been shown. Further, for simplicity, the receiver circuit has not been shown, inasmuch as its principal constituents are the same as the signal reconstruction circuitry of the modulators.
Modulator 11 comprises a comparator 12 to which samples of an analog signal to be encoded are applied from a suitable source, not shown. As is common in delta modulators, the analog signal is periodically sampled at a high rate. The sampling circuit may take any of a number of forms, or it may even be incorporated into the comparator. The output of comparator 12 is applied to a decision ciruit 13 which generates single value pulses for transmission to the receiver 23. The transmitted pulse train is fed back to a step size generator 14 which generates step pulses of varying magnitudes, depending upon the characteristics of the transmitted pulse train, as is typical of adaptive delta modulation systems. In such systems, a pulse is generated each sampling period whose magnitude is, generally, determined by the past history of the transmitted signal, in accordance with a particular algoritlrm.
The output of pulse generator 14 is applied to an integrator circuit 16 which comprises a series resistor 17 and a shunt capacitor 18. Connected in series between capacitor 18 and ground is a parallel combination of a capacitor 19 and a resistor 21. Capacitor 19 may be, and preferably is, of the same value as capacitor 18, and resistor 21 is so chosen that the RC time constant of the paralell circuit is approximately one-half of a sampling period. The output of integrator 16 is applied to comparator circuit 12 where it is compared with the analog input signal samples.
The operation of the circuit of FIG. 2 can best be understood by reference to FIG. 3. In operation, the comparator 12 compares the input signal sample with the output of integrator 16' and produces an output indicative of their difference. Decision circuit 13, under control of a clock or timing circuit 22 decides, on the basis of the difference, whether to generate a pulse or no pulse. Thus, if the difference is positive, a pulse is generated and transmitted, and if the difference is negative, no pulse is transmitted. The outplutof the modulator is, therefore, a train of pulses and spaces. This pulse train is applied to the step generator 14 which, for example, produces a positive pulse if an output pulse is present and a negative pulse if no output pulse is present, as shown in curve D of FIG. 3. When a succession of pulses or space occurs, the generator 14 increases the magnitude of its output pulses. The number of successive pulses required to cause an increase 4 in step size varies with the operating algorithm and forms no part of the present invention.
The pulse output of generator 14 is applied through resistor 17 to capacitors 18 and 19 which combined are charged to a voltage greater than the hysteresis limit, as shown by curve B in FIG. 3, which at its maximum exceeds curve C. Upon cessation of the pulse from generator 14, capacitor 19 commences to discharge through resistor 21. At this time, preferably immediately after the cessation of the pulse, but at least before the charge is reduced to the level represented by curve C, block 22 activates the decision circuit 13, which makes its decision during the duration of the activating pulse represented by curve E in FIG. 3. The curves of FIG. 3 are for illustrative purposes only; however, it can be seen that the decision mlust be made before the charge on the capacitors has intersected the hysteresis limit during the discharge cycle. In general, where the discharge time is approximately onehalf a sampling period, as shown in FIG. 3, if the decision is made during the first third of the discharge cycle, the circuit will function as intended. As pointed out in the foregoing, it is preferable that the decision be made as close as possible to the cessation of the charging pulse and start of the discharge cycle.
The curves of FIG. 4 illustrate the response of an adaptive delta modulator following the same algorithm as was illustrated in FIG. 1B, but utilizing the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 2. It can be seen that the reconstructed signal curve B oscillates at a high frequency about the input analog signal A. It can also be seen that the tendency of the circuit to produce high magnitudes is immediately corrected in the next succeeding sample period. The curves of FIG. 4 illustrate a much more stable circuit than the curves of FIG. 1B, which, of course, results from the utilization of the principles of the present invention.
In FIG. 5 there is shown, in block diagram, a second illustrative embodiment of the invention. Inasmuch as the circuit of FIG. 5 is basically similar to that of FIG. 2, like elements have been designated by the same reference numerals. The circuit of FIG. 5 differs from that of FIG. 2 in the configuration of the integrator circuit 11, which comprises a resistor 17, a high gain amplifier 20 and a feedback circuit around the amplifier comprising an integrating capacitor 18 in series with a parallel RC network of a capacitor 19 and a resistor 21.
In operation, the output of amplifier 20 charges capacitors 18 and 19, producing a low net voltage at the amplifier input. When the pulse from pulse generator 14 ceases, capacitor 19 commences to discharge through resistor 21 as before. This has virtually no effect on the amplifier input, which is at substantially zero volts. On the other hand, any leakage from capacitor 18 is accompanied by a current input to the amplifier which then produces an output to correct the leakage. The net elfect of the amplifier 20 is, therefore, to maintain the charge on capacitor 18 despite leakage and loading effects of comparator 12. This insures a truer value of charge on capacitor 18.
At the receiver 23, the same process is undergone, step pulse generator 24 and amplifier 26 charging capacitors 27 and 28 to produce a reconstructed signal that is a more accurate value due to the elimination of loading effects.
The foregoing has been for purposes of illustrating the principles of the present invention. Various modifications of the embodiments shown may occur to workers in the art without departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Share of health care costs rising for employees
Pennsylvania employers are more likely to increase the portion of health insurance costs their employees pay rather than drop coverage, according to preliminary results from a national survey from benefits consulting firm Mercer.
J.T. Shilling, the business leader for Mercer's Pittsburgh and Cleveland offices, said 63 percent of the 127 employers in the state that were surveyed plan to increase cost sharing in 2013, compared with 43 percent nationally.
Meanwhile, only 6 percent of the Pennsylvania companies surveyed think they'll drop health insurance in 2014 when the biggest parts of federal health care reform go into effect. Shilling said 21 percent of companies surveyed nationally expect the Affordable Care Act will lead them to cancel health plans in 2014.

It's not weird. It's how you feel and there is nothing wrong with that.
That said, I want to challenge that for a minute and give you some things to think about. You don't need to answer me, but I hope you unpack that thought process on your own for a little while.
Do you feel like you should only experience pleasure with a partner because that's how you've been raised or socialized?
Does that come from a perspective of policing your sexuality in any way?
If yes to either of those answers, then let's think about whether those are YOUR values or values that are being pressed on you. Is this an automatic response to how you've been taught to look at sexual pleasure or is it your decided, educated personal feelings on the subject as well?
Follow up questions/statements to those ones: do you think a partner is going to know how to pleasure you better than you could pleasure yourself?
Don't you think it might be a good idea to learn about how you can pleasure yourself so you can help partners in the future who may not have a psychic ability to navigate your vagina on their own?
There are no wrong answers, by the way. You don't HAVE to masturbate. And there are lots of good reasons not to, but I hope none of them are that someone else instill in you a sense of guilt that is now interfering with your personal pleasure.

Tooltip Information:BJP says Thackeray s proposal not acceptable, suggests seat sharing to defeat CongressVideo by:Description: New Delhi, Sep 21 (ANI): After Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday put forward his 'last proposal' to save the BJP- Shiv Sena alliance and offered 119 seats to them, BJP leader Vinod Tawde said that the proposal is not acceptable to the party. While addressing mediapersons in Delhi, party leaders Vinod Tawde and Eknath Khadse said that seat sharing between the two parties will eventually benefit the alliance against the Congress party. Tawde said that the party had earlier demanded 135-135 seats for both the parties, but later agreed to 130 seats.
