I've been using it as a backup to power up all my house when outages occur since aprox. 6 years non stop.
If you like the work and intend to build the circuit don't forget to click on the "follow" button so I know how many people benefit from the design, Thanks.
1> The schematic circuit design is for a 250 watt output, while the pics are of my 1500 watts inverter that i built, to increase the power of the circuit you have to add more of the Q7 and Q8 transistors in parallel, each pair you add will increase your power by 250 watts, ex: to get 750 watts of power from the inverter you need to add in parallel 2 of Q7 and 2 of Q8 to the original design.
2> If you increase the power transistors you have to enlarge the T2 transformer to match the new needs, the circuit's transformer is rated 25 amps to handle 250 watts of 220v, for every 1 additional amp you need on the 220v side you have to increase 10 amps on the 12v side, of course there are limits to the thickness of the winding so if you need more than 750 watts i recommend that you use a 24VDC supply instead of 12 volts:
DC voltage and Transformer "T2" winding recommendation:
Power Supply Winding
750w 12VDC P:24V "12-0-12" / S:220V
1500w 24VDC P:48V "24-0-24" / S:220V
2250w 36VDC P:72V "36-0-36" / S:220V
3000w 48VDC P:96V "48-0-48" / S:220V
3750w 60VDC P:120V "60-0-60" / S:220V
4500w 72VDC P:144V "72-0-72" / S:220V
5250w 84VDC P:168V "84-0-84" / S:220V
*The transformer should be "center tapped" at the primary side.
**You can make the secondary 110v if needed.
***The transformer in the pic is a custom made (48V center tapped / 220v ) 2000 watts, weights like 10 kilos.
3> R1 is to set the PWM duty cycle to 220v. Connect voltmeter to the output of your inverter and vary VR1 till the voltage reads 220V.
4> R2 is to set the frequency to 50 or 60 Hz (R2 range is between 40Hz to 75Hz), so guys that do not have a frequency meter are advised to blindly put this variable resistor mid-way which should drop you in the range of 50~60 Hz.
If you want you can substitue the variable resistor with a fixed resistor using the following formula: F = 1.3 / (RxC)
in our case to get a 50Hz output we remove both the 100K and the variable 100K both from pin 6 and we put instead a 260K fixed resistor and we leave the 0.1uF (the 104 cap) as it is, this change should give out a fixed 50Hz as per the formula :
1.3 / (260,000 ohm x 0.0000001 farad) = 50Hz
But in reality it will not exactly give 50Hz because the 260K resistor has a specific error value margin so does the capacitor, that's why i recommend a variable resistor so that accurate calibration can be achieved.
5> Use either tantalum or polyester film "as in pic" for the 104 caps, ceramic disc caps change value once hot and this in turn changes the frequency of the inverter so they are not recommended.
6> Pin 10 of the SG3524 can be used to auto shut down the inverter, once a positive voltage is given instead of negative to pin10, the SG3524 will stop oscillating. This is useful for persons wanting to add some cosmetic makeup to their inverters like overload cutoff, low battery cutoff or overheating cutoff.
7> Wiring connections on the power stage side should be thick enough to handle the huge amps drain from the batteries. I marked them with dark black on the schema also I included a pic so you see how thick those wires must be.
8> The design does not include a battery charger since each person will be building a custom version of the inverter with specific power needs. If you are ordering a custom made transformer you can ask them to take out for you an additional output wire on the primary side to give 14v (between point 0 and this new wire) and use it to charge a 12v battery, of course this needs a seperate circuit to control charging auto cut-off. But anyway this is not advisable because it will shorten the life of the transformer itself since using it as a charger will toast the enamel coating layer of the copper wires over time. Anyway .. YES can be done to reduce cost.
9> A cooling fan will be needed to reduce heat off the heat sinks and transformer, i recommend getting a 220v fan and connecting it to the output T2 transformer, when you power up the circuit the fan will start this will always give you a simple way to know that 220v is present and everything is OK.. You can use a computer's old power supply fan if you like.
Note that the fan must suck air out from the inverter case and NOT blow inside, so install it the correct way or it will be useless.
Also note how I fixed both the heat sinks and where the fan is, in a way that the fan sucks hot air from like a channel between the 2 heatsinks.
10> 2 circuit breakers are recommended instead of fuses, one on the DC side and one on the AC side, depending on your design
Ex: for a 24vDC ( 1500 watts design ) put a 60Amp breaker on the DC side and a 6Amp on the AC side.
For every 1amp of 220vAC you will be draining like 8 to 10 Amps from the 12v battery, make your calculations !
11> The 2 Heat sinks should be big enough to cool the transistors, they are separate and should NOT touch each other. "see the pics"
12> Important: If you're building a big design that uses more than 24VDC as power source, make sure not to supply the driver circuit with more than 24v maximum. (EX: If you have 4 batteries 4x12 = 48v , connect the v+ supply of the driver circuit to the second battery's (+) terminal with a thin 1 mm wire which is more than enough. this supplies the driver circuit with +24v while supplies the power transformer with +48v) "see the batteries pic example"
13> "Optional" : Deep Cycle batteries are your best choice, consider them for best results .. read more
14> Be cautious when building this circuit it involves high voltage which is lethal, any part you touch when the circuit is ON could give you a nasty painful jolt, specially the heat-sinks, never touch them when the circuit is on to see if the transistors are hot !! I ate it several times :)
15> The optional "Low voltage warning" is already embedded in the PCB layout, you can disregard it and not install it's components if you do not need it. It does not affect the functionality of the main circuit.
16> The Motorola 2N6277 is a durable heavy duty power transistor, it is used in many US tanks for it's reliability but unfortunately it is a very hard to find part, instead you can substitute each 2N6277 with 2 x 2N3773 or any equivalent.
17> I've included an optional "Battery level indicator" circuit diagram that has 4 LEDs, you can see it installed on the front panel of my inverter pic, it is functioning great and shows precisely how much juice the batteries still have. I have included a small relay that is powered by the last LED to auto shutoff the inverter once last LED is off.
18> Also included an optional "Overload circuit", it is very easy to build and can be calibrated to the desired overload current threshold cutoff point through the potentiometer VR1.
R1 is rated 5watts for inverters upto 1000 watts. For bigger versions of the inverter like 1000 to 3000 watts inverters, replace R1 (1 ohm, 5watts) with (1 ohm, 17watts) which should handle loads upto 10 VA.
Make sure you install a proper relay to handle big current drains.
19> Please guys take your time to read and understand my notes, browse and read the posts and questions asked by others because there are many useful information listed in replies. The main reason for me not answering your question is because it has already been asked before and answered upon.
20> It would be nice and inspiring for others if you take some photos and show us how you built your version, any additions to the circuit are mostly welcomed to be listed here, we can all benefit from them.
21> Please click on the "I've made it" button/icon if you did build the circuit so I know how many people benefit from this design.
thank you sir Nickk for sharing this good inverter. i am trying to make this one for my house using a solar but the voltage value of electrolytic capacitors are missing and the value of bridge diode also is missing. can you please tell me what is the value of said components.. thank you
I got suck with my inverter. Everytime I power up it using a power supply +24V.. it energize my transformer.. But when I power up with a car Battery, my power transistors got burnt.. I have 40 burnt transistors 2N3055 :(
Someone please need help. Is there any modification at the power stage when we use 2N3055 as our power transistor?? please help Nick :(
I THINK YOUR PROBLEM IS OVER-BIASING. I cooked 56 MOTO transistors. I have just ordered 80 more. I also barbequed parts of my two middle fingers!! NEVER GAVE UP!
Please use separate two test transistors at a time to save transistors in case something goes wrong.
1. Ensure ALL connections are as shown in the schematic diagram. Double check. Ensure the collectors from the TIP122 drivers are connected to the respective sides of the transformer. Do not crisscross them.
2. Set the duty cycle variable resistor R1 to half way in the middle
3. Connect 50K variable resistors (betters if you can find the variable resistor that have two mounted on the same tuning nob so that you can vary them at the same time) to the TIP122 emitters so that you can limit the biasing current into 2n6277.
4. Connect voltmeter to transformer output and a clump meter to read current on the buttery circuit
5. Now slowly adjust the variable resistors you have connected in 3. until the transistors just switch on. Always keep an eye on the meters. Check that the TIP122 are not heating up. If one heats up at low current, then it is not driving its respective 2N6277 transistor bank.
6. When you have about 180V on your AC output, your feedback transformer my produce sufficient voltage to drive the feedback circuit. At that stage, try to set the duty cycle to 220V by using R1. If it doesn't respond, increase the biasing current a little bit more. Very slowly.
7.Try little loads and check current on the clump meter.
8. If this doesn't help then try to test with a different transformer. I had a transformer that cooked my transistors because it was pushing 10A on the buttery side even when no load connected to the output.
THIS WAS WHAT I DID. It helped me learn how this beautiful circuit works. Never give up.!!
Nice .. !
Although I do not recommend step-3, this is not a solution. The circuit should work 100% with no problems if done as you said by step-1

hi nick, i'm planning to used IRFP260N to produce a 1500 watts 24 volt how many mosfet can i put in the circuit. thanks!
where the same intention my friend. i am also trying to make this with mosfet for me trying 750w so i will be connecting soon the 6pcs IRFP250. but i have problem buying some parts because some parts electrolytic capacitors has no voltage value and the bridge also has no value. please tell me my friend if you know.. thank you
Hello Nickk, it works! I found out the problem was that one of the T2 input diodes, D1, had failed close (shunt) and thereby shunting one section on T2 input which resulted in giving half of the expected output voltage. Then i removed D1 and D2 and it works well. At last!
I will now add other protective function, voltage display, buzzer, fan and more cosmetics to it.
Thanks Nickk for sharing your knowledge. I have actually attempted to construct different PWM inverter circuit over the years and this is the one that has worked! Thank you, thank you, and thank you...
i cant find any diode D1 D2 you mention on this circuit
They are at the transformer T2 input side
yes my friend i found it. i am sorry.. i just focusing on mosfet diagram whic is D1 and D2 are not included.. i trying to do this project but i don't know the voltage value of this electrolytic capacitor and the bridge diode. may i know my friend where i can get the value of this parts?.. thank you
Great.. :)
Hello Nickk,
My inverter output is 209Vac but when i load it the voltage drops to about 90Vac, and the feedback transformer voltage also drops. What could be the reason? Could it be that the feedback section is not working or what?
Also, can you please explain how PWM and the output feedback maintains the inverter output voltage? -does it vary the ON/OFF pulse width to TIP122. If yes, whats the maximum ON/OFF duration and how does this achieve the output voltage regulation. Please assist. Thanks.

hello nick,
Sir, this circuit keeps blowing off my 2n6277 transistors at start up. The two banks of transistors are isolated and I am using a 36V bank of butteries.Could it be that my transformer is too big? I have also since put the cooling fans on top to extract heat instead of blowing from below. I have been testing with a pair of transistors at a time (to get 250W) on this transformer hopping to get satisfactory results before I switch on all the 48 transistors but to no avail. Each time I try to switch on, the 36V burns my test pair of transistors on this huge transformer and that has not made me confident to load the whole set of 48 transistors. It is particularly the base-emitter junctions that gets cooked. I also have the feedback transformer connected ok. Please help.
No the transformer size does not matter. It seems your pinout connections on the 2N6277 are wrong, look into that. Also check if your transformer is functional by disconnecting it and applying to it 220vac and testing to see if you get 36-0-36 on the other side.
Thank you Mr. Nickk. I think that my beloved transformer was the problem. Yes applying to it 220vac was giving me 36-0-36 on the other side. However, applying to it 36-0-36 was immediately sucking in 10A even when the other end was still open. This means my test pairs of transistors were being subjected to 360W of power. I have sing ordered a new 48-0-48 to 220 transformer from somebody who winds transformers. I think things will be fine now. I will report back in two weeks time. Have a blessed day today!!
Hell Mr. Chivindwe. I think 1 pair of 2N6277 transistors(250watts) cannot handle the transient current of the transformer you are using since your transformer is too big.
1 pair is not enough to handle the transient current.
hello nick, in your comments you said LM3524 and SG3524 is the same, but in design using LM3524, you need to connect pin 2 with pin 16 directly and pin 9(comp) with cap 10uf . so my question why you used the following components that i assigned in the attachment picture i wait your answer ?
Hello Nickk,
Thank you for your sharings, I'm going to try to implement it and maybe some customizations. Only one question so far, what are you using the BC327 connected to the COMP(9) pin for? It seems that by default it's connecting this output to ground, due to fact that base connector is connected to Ref Out (5v), that means to me it is not going to work properly. Let me know if I'm wrong.
Thank you
Hello Nickk,
Firstly i want to thank you for your assistance and generosity.
I have reconstructed my circuit on a PCB but i still got the following problems:
1) the output voltage is about 110Vac, then after some time it drops to 100Vac, 97Vac and then 87Vac...
2) the input voltage for T2 from the center to each end terminal is about 7.5Vac. My battery voltage is 12.4Vdc though
3) the voltage at pin 11 and 14 are 3.5Vdc
I have attached photos. So what could be the problem here, please.
Is your regulator 7808 ?
Yes, its 7808. See photos- I haveadded it again...
please replace by 7812 and send feedback.
Hello Nickk, it works! I found out the problem was that one of the T2 input diodes, D1, had failed close (shunt) and thereby shunting one section on T2 input which resulted in giving half of the expected output voltage. Then i removed D1 and D2 and it works well. At last!
I will now add other protective function, voltage display, buzzer, fan and more cosmetics to it.
Thanks Nickk for sharing your knowledge. I have actually attempted to construct different PWM inverter circuit over the years and this is the one that has worked! Thank you, thank you, and thank you...
I am suprise that it has not been a problem or noticed by others, but by the formula you gave, F = 1.3 / (RxC), then the 100k resistor and 100k pot R2 will not give f=50Hz, except 200k resistor is used. Can you please also expain that to me. I also notice varying R1 did not change my output voltage
Pls I need to pcb file (Or Img file) for this circuit !
Good day sir, i have a few questions..
1.Is this circuit of yours can run electronic gadgets such as laptops,etc?
2.Is it the output waveform is square wave when we don't connect the filter caps 2.2uF and 0.1uF's?
Dear Sir Would you please let me know what the characteristic of transformer , I maen the Number of turns In primary and secondary and thickness of diameter in mm for each side .
With my best regards
Good morning sir ;
i have the same question of Vickylbee
but the o/p voltage of me inverter is around 196 volt but if i loaded it ,the voltage drop occur and became 170
so the feedback doesn't work or what sir
what should i do ?
thank you
Please upload some pics showing your setup
hello sir
i'm sorry i can't upload pics but i did as this one attached
can u explain how ic sg3524 recover the drop in voltage and how the
feedback work
thank u
Hi sir kindly tell me that i am working on solar based motor system so i am getting very high costs from market i have to build my own and i like urs so is it efficient for 200w panels to used for water pump1/2 horse power ?secondly sir if yew have charge controller circuit diagram then needed urgently for implemantation?thanks
I think there's something wrong in your wirings or connection.. I got that low voltage too when i accidentaly connect the TIP122 in wrong connections. Or maybe you have a wrong pcb design.. just an opinion sir.
You are welcome sir. I just want to know you that i built this circuit and it's working great! Thanks to Nick for his GREAT FREE SCHEMATIC!! Godbless

Sripraphai vs Khao Homm
Will be in Manhattan next month. An ophthalmologist colleague of mine who has been in Thailand many times and takes care of the Royal Family said not to bother with Thai in Manhattan.
He said he recently ate with the Thai Ambassador at Khao Homm and thought it was the best he's had in the States. I wonder if that was because of his dining companion, or if it is the standard.
I've heard great things about Sripraphai, any opinions on which is better for authentic food? Won't have to time to go to both.
Never been to Khao Homm before, but sriphraphai's definitely a gem.
Almost all of my Thai friends love Shri, guess if it comes from the locals, you can't really
go wrong.
And their snacks and dessert section (by the cashier) are heavenly
Khao Homm is good, and there's some stuff on the menu that Sri doesn't have. It's definitely worth exploring, but if you can only go to one, I'd have to recommend Sri.
I spend a lot of time in Thailand. I was at the dentist in Chiang Mai recently and while I was filling out forms, the receptionist noticed that I live in Queens. She commented that there's "a famous Thai restaurant in Queens". I asked "Sripraphai?" and she replied "Yes!!"
I've never been to Khao Homm, but if you're only going to one Thai restaurant in NYC, I agree with the previous poster -- it has to be Sripraphai.
I agree with the above. Never been to Khao Homm but nonetheless vote for Sripraphai. I noticed in a NY Magazine short review of Khao Homm, the reviewer lauded them for being able to prepare special requests not on the menu. So I suspect the Thai Ambassador was given a far different -- and better -- meal than you'd get by ordering from the menu.
Definitely Sripraphai. I've been to Khao Homm once and was not impressed. The only redeeming dish was Roast pork leg (best IMO among all thai restos I've been to), but other dishes were so mediocre, they outweighed the goodness of one dish. Portions were on a smallish side.
I have a suggestion if you do go to Sripraphai. Make sure they make the spicy dishes spicy. I went a few times several years ago and I loved it, but we'd ask for "mild" and it would come out unbelieveably spicy (and delicious).
A couple weeks ago I went back, and with all the non-thais there i got the sense they might skimp on the heat. I ordered medium and it was way too mild, which messed up the balance. With too little heat, the sour flavor was WAY too prevalant. Very disappointed.
It was a busy night, and I wondered if they had made two batches of papaya salad, one mild and one spicy, because it was definitely not medium. I'm sure I'm not the first person on here who's longed for the earlier years, when they were still a tiny restaurant, but they're very successful so they must be doing something right.
re: chashaobao
I was there threee nights ago and it was not spicy at all. I asked for Thai spicy and I got medium to mild. One of the things I loved about Shri was it was spicy and good. Its just good and not great anymore. I wonder if it was a off night also. And yes there was tons of non-thais there.
re: kittyslair
Had a great meal friday afternoon, watercress salad-great, shrimp with green curry-perfect, chicken satay--great, squid with red chili sauce-good, and ginger chicken and chinese broccoli-okay.....so nice there on off hours.......everything spiced spicy as usual-----somehow they always know how we like it.....
re: chashaobao
The last time, even though we ordered the papaya salad Thai spicy, it wasn't very spicy. More surprisingly, it was decidely not sour, with very little lime juice I guess? So it was quite bland and unappealing to me.
For comparison, at Arunee, I've had a fantastic papaya salad, that came out very spicy, when they didn't even ask me how I wanted it. I went recently and they toned it down because we asked for a little less spicy, which I think they took to be slightly spicy instead. However, it was still sour, so it was still enjoyable even though it wasn't too hot.
Actually, my friend suggested it might work better to use a number system (like 4 out of 5) to indicate to them how hot you want it. Maybe this would work better? Or maybe you have to be completely consistent and ask for everything hot hot, or else it tones down the whole meal? Anyways, it bugs me that even at the more authentic places, you are never sure what you are going to get.
re: chashaobao
IMO, it all depends on what night you go and which chef you get. Since their expansion, I definitely found some deviation in flavors, but not that it made food bland just different way of preparation. Since my SO cannot take too much heat, we always order 'medium' and it always amazes us how the food can still be very tasty.
re: welle
I've only been to Sripraphai twice, but neither of the two meals was consistently good across all the dishes. On the other hand, Arunee has given good meals that were consistent throughout.
At this point, Sripraphai certainly has the larger and more extensive menu, but Arunee seems to do as well (if not better) with certain Thai staples (papaya salad, drunken noodles, standard curries). This is just my experience and I'm sure not everybody agrees.
My husband and I finally made it to Sripraphai about a month ago and had a decidely mixed meal. A whole fish dish was delicious, but our Pad Thai was a wreck -- the noodles were both crunchy and mushy at once. We sent it back, something I rarely do at a restaurant, and the second iteration was fine. But it did put a damper on the experience. I think the kitchen was just overwhelmed; it was a packed house. But I can't give it an unqualified rave.
On the other hand, we've always had great meals at our local quality thai place, Erawan, on Bell Boulevard in Bayside.
re: baysider
Never order the pad thai at Sripraphai. They're not known for their noodle dishes and that's widely known to be one of their worst if not their very worst dish. (As I understand it, it's a vendor food in Thailand, sort of like a hot dog, or a pretzel here in NYC. You don't go into a restaurant in NYC generally to order a hot dog or a big salty pretzel.)
Thai restaurants catering to foreigners have made it their big central attraction but, if I understand correctly, pad thai is to authentic Thai cuisine as chicken tikka masala is to Indian cuisine. Well, maybe not THAT inauthentic, but I don't get the impression that it was all that popular in Thailand before the campaign to reduce rice consumption during WWII because of a budget crisis. Would a nice American restaurant abroad be authentic if it showed off the hot dog and big salty pretzel as the centerpieces of American food? (Just to be clear, I have NOTHING against hot dogs and big salty pretzels. Just trying for some perspective here.)
You'll see many recommendations for dishes at Srip. on this board if you do a search and noodles are rarely if ever mentioned favorably.
And always get the watercress salad. The curries are great, and they do amazing soft-shell crab if you like that sort of thing.
BTW, for more about the tikka masala:
I don't think it's true that people don't recommend the noodle dishes at Sripraphai, that's actually why I ordered the drunken noodles last time.
See the following thread for 6 posters recommending noodles dishes.
To be honest, I've had only one great dish at Sripraphai, the fried watercress salad. I've only ordered curry once and was not wowed by it.
And I would also argue that street food is different in asia versus here. People actually go out for street food as a meal. Maybe not at one place, but there are seating arrangements. Whereas in america (and especially american, not ethnic, street food), it's usually for snacking. So in that regard, I think you can expect that they can execute a street food item well, since it should be held to the same standard as a restaurant dish. And at the very least, if they were to offer it, don't you think an american restaurant abroad could at least give you a tasty version of a hot dog?
re: spchang
notwithstanding, everybody agrees their pad thai is not very good. Maybe an order for it gets the reaction that an order for chow mein or chicken almond ding attracts in a cantonese restaurant.
I ordered the drunken noodles the last time around and wasnt excited either - there is a chile noodle with basil and I think pork that works better for some reason. Or the Khao Soi, which is very good.
Of the curries, Ive liked the mussaman and the green curry with duck the best - the "salads" are my favorite part of the menu - worth exploring all round, the beef salads, pork,papaya, mushroom,watercress,soft shell, etc etc. I wonder if they have green mango salad at this time of year?
re: spchang
Good points, spchang. Yes, OK, you're right, I *have* seen a lot of recs for drunken noodles on this board, but I've also read people here saying (more than once) that the drunken noodles are the one exception to the "don't order noodles at Sri" guideline. Anyway, I liked their drunken noodles the first time or two that I tried them a couple of years ago, but since then I haven't been bowled over by them.
Yeah, the wide noodles with basil and ground meat are not bad, if I recall. OK, but IMHO you shouldn't order any of their other noodle dishes. I'm a bit surprised to see recs for noodles in light and dark soup. I'm not a big soup person so I'll leave that one up to y'all to decide.
I'm surprised that you weren't wowed by the curry, spchang, but to each his/her own. I think their curry rocks like an aardvark. Red, green, jungle, massaman, and esp. penang curry -- it's all spectacular there IMO.
re: Ike
There's plenty of good noodle dishes at Sripraphai. Besides the Khao Soy noodles, I also like the pad kee mao (isn't this what is commonly called drunken noodles?), the fried noodles with chicken and yellow squid (it has a wonderful, slightly smokey flavor), the various bean thread noodle dishes, the duck noodle soup.
I had two occasions recently to try their tofu pad thai (eating with a vegetarian), and what came were two very different dishes. It seems that this dish might be determined by the whim of whoever is making it. The first time it was nicely plated with separate little stacks of bean sprouts, ground peanuts, chilis, cilantro, julienned tofu, and lime wedges which were to be mixed at the table. And the second time, it was a clump of stir fried noodles with some triangles of fried tofu and a bit of a garnish. Guess which was the busy night.
If they have Khao Soi on the menu, I may go just for that. I took a cooking class in Chiang Mai and learned how to cook it, never made because it's very hard to find the ingredients (need Bamee egg noodles (only fresh and not available in most places) and hang lay curry powder ( I have a few packets from the class, can't find it anywhere). I've never see it on a menu in the states although I hear LOS in vegas has it.
re: saeyedoc
Sripraphai's Khao Soy is very good. I used to love going there on Saturday afternoons by myself (when that used to be their slow time) and ordering khao soy. It's quite spicy and measures up favorably to the ones I had in Thailand.

"Shield" is accurate!! A few times I've had a sore throat starting to come on and I've used this product and "voila!," the sore throat goes away w/in 24 hours. I've never experienced anything that works so well. I've used Vit. C, echinacea, zinc, elderberry extract, etc., I've tried them all, and hands down this one works the BEST!! Stock up on it -- you don't want to be without it!
Good but can be better as well!

Sage has anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungus properties. Other than that, sage also has high antioxidant power, is anti flammatory and can even enhance memory. Due to its taste, it is often used in dishes or breath freshener. Myrrh is known to pro mote dental health and prevent infection. Aloe vera is known to be anti bacterial, anti viral, anti fungus, possesses high level of vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acid and antioxidants. It prom otes healing to wounds and skin infections, relieves gastric and digestive problems, reduces inflammation, reduces unhealthy cholesterol, stabilises blood sugar and prevents diabetes, prevents cancer, boost oxygenation of blood, alkalising, reduce high blood pressure, hydrates and prevent dry skin, prevent heart diseases and many more! The combination allows it to quickly kill the pathogens upon contact and aid any ulcers to heal. This product works really well whenever my throat itches or hurts due to sore throat. The extended wand makes it very easy to spray directly to the throat as compared to other throat spray which will always spray a portion of the tongue or gum instead. It tastes somewhat bitter. However, the peppermint provides some relief and the other herbs help to numb the pain. Pricewise, it is quite reasonable as this is not meant to be used daily. It will be also nice if the product contains no alcohol at all. Check out my page for more reviews!

Friday, October 17, 2014 - Street Hunting - Tomas Hozman - GONZO
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Our gonzo cameraman is out on the streets trying to find someone to do something with. He finds Tomas Hozman and convinces him to go up into his flat, to help him move something, for money. But before they get to the flat Borek comes clean and explains a little more. Tomas wont do it in a public place, but he agrees to show off his chest, in the flat. Once they are inside he sits and removes his top to show his chest. Then Borek wants the jeans off too, but first he has to offer more money. That is enough encouragement for Tomas and he takes off the jeans. He then laughs as Borek asks to see his cock. The lure of such a lot of money encourages Tomas, but Borek demands more than just a look. In the end Tomas, sort of, agrees. He removes his underwear and stands up, showing off a lovely hooded cock, nice and soft. Borek's hand reaches to feet the cock, and then pulls out his own cock, asking Tomas to feel it. Tomas reaches for it and it quickly responds to his touch, getting very hard. He reached forward and takes the cock in his mouth sucking it real good. Borek says that he is sucking it well and Tomas confirms that it is his very first time. When he sits up Tomas reveals that his cock is hard too, and Borek quickly grabs it and starts wanking. He tells Tomas to turn over and show off his ass, and then to try to finger the hole. Tomas complies, showing off that sexy ass and pushes a finger against it. Borek then gets himself ready and slides his hard dick into Tomas' ass. The first guy ever to give it to him. He fucks deep and hard, and Tomas takes it very well indeed. With his ass opened nicely Tomas then takes a ride on Borek's throbbing cock. Borek reaches round and wanks Tomas' hard dick at the same time. His cock is so hard and Tomas seems to be enjoying his first time. He moves to missionary position and, as he gets fucked deep, he wanks himself to a massive cumshot. His hot cream shoots all over his body. Borek then pulls out and wanks his own cock and dumps his cum on Tomas too. What a great scene with Tomas showing that he is a very good sport and getting a great sexual workout.
Oliver Vanok is aged 18 and lives in Opava, where he is a student. In his spare time Oliver enjoys sports, cycling and fitness. He is a fine looking guy and does a very nice interview. Then Oliver stands up and removes his tee shirt to start his show. With his sexy chest exposed Oliver runs his hands over it and opens his jeans, pushing them down. He continues to feel his body, and then lowers his underwear too, showing off his cock and balls. Oliver takes hold of his cock and starts to wank it a little. Then he gets completely naked and lays on the sofa to play with his dick some more. As he wanks Oliver runs his other hand over his sexy chest. A helping hand arrives and begins to massage that chest, using oil to do it. The hands do the chest and then rub oil over Oliver's cock and balls to. His cock starts to swell as the hand rubs against it. Then, as the hand takes hold of the cock and really wanks it grows very well indeed. Oliver's legs are lifted into the air, to expose his hot ass and its tight hole. Oil is dripped onto the ass and the hand quickly start to rub it in, gliding all over the sexy ass, rubbing into the crack. As fingers rub against Oliver's hole the other hand wanks on his big cock. A finger teases Olivers tight hole before he drops his legs for more wanking. Then he turns over onto his knees to show that ass off some more. When he turns and sits again the hands wank on Oliver's throbbing cock, grabbing his big balls too. As the wanking continues Oliver's big balls tighten and the hand moves faster of his cock. Then his cock gives up its' big, creamy load of hot cum. After a very good video Oliver finishes off taking a well deserved shower.
Johan Mendez is aged 19 and lives in Kladno. He is a student who enjoys sports, athletics and soccer. He is a very handsome guy indeed. Not only handsome but also very fit looking too. As he removes his tee shirt we see a wonderful upper body and Johan happily poses, flexing his biceps, to show it off too. Then he turns around and lowers his underwear to expose a beautiful ass too. As we enjoy that hot ass Johan bends over and reaches back to spread his cheeks, showing a lovely, hairy hole. Standing erect again Johan then gets his cock good and hard. It stands so proudly erect as he goes through a series of lovely poses. Then Johan sits on the training bench and lifts his legs in the air to give another hot view of his sexy ass. That hairy hole looks so inviting as he pulls the cheeks wide apart. Then Johan finishes his shoot by posing some more with that cock rock hard.

How much does that penny for your thoughts weigh?
I'm surprised that neither Stephen Wolfram nor Nick Felton haven't yet tackled the "change in my pocket" analysis.
Spam-churian candidates
I've talked before about issues with using social media data to predict election outcomes. Yesterday Mashable's 78th infographic of the day looks at a new wrench in the gears: spam:
The same techniques used by social spammers advertising free iPads and Viagra are now being used to spread bogus political messages across social media, blogs and news sites.
Yet another instance that should bring home that point that social media mention volume isn't everything. A low-noise data source (likely coming from a tool with robust filtering capabilities) is the only way to reduce the impact of this nonsense on data quality.

This is the blog post-equivalent of arriving on the platform just as the 3 train arrives. Two items on NYC Subway data came on my radar this morning:
- The infographic above uses ridership data to reveal the busiest and calmest stations.
- The MTA is going to open up real-time data on trains to developers. I have an app on my phone that does some whiz-bang things with augmented reality and planning trips, but it has a kludgy system for notifying of delays and can't tell me when the next train will actually arrive.

I didn't have a chance to pick an NCAA bracket this year. I'm not too upset, as it means that my winning streak is intact (I won my office pool several years ago with a bracket titled "I actually hate Duke"). While they don't account for the psychology of an office pool, I take a hard look at predictions from FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver and others before I complete my bracket.
This time of year is also exciting to mathematically-inclined sports fans because it means that MIT's Sloan Business School hosts its Sports Analytics Conference.

I've been playing with this car metaphor for using social media data. I really need to give it its own post. But the idea boils down to using it as a rearview mirror (that is, backward-looking), as a dashboard and a dipstick (seeing how you're doing right now), and a windshield (seeing where you're going). The first two are quite common, the third, much less so. But here's a cool example.
Finding the Right Problem to Tackle: When Web Analytics Technologies Chase Problems - SemAngel
I recognize that the point of this post is measuring what matters in the digital space, but this section totally reads like the treatment for Moneyball 2. Somewhere Jonah Hill is getting ready for his second Oscar nomination.
Why Klout really matters: Money, money, money — GigaOm
I'm going to skip past the "be wary of any black box algorithm" rant.
I assume many companies are already taking similar approaches to using Twitter as a marketing campaign. Step 1 might be finding out how people feel about a particular product, show, etc., by analyzing the Twitter firehose. But Step 2 should be finding out which Twitter users are influential in that space and trying to make them happy. Or maybe part of Step 1 is weighting sentiment based on who expressed it — an influential voice coming out in support of or against something might be worth more than someone with relatively low influence in determining how something will play out.
I'm totally on board with ideation as Step 1. Take a look at how people are talking and make sure your campaign reflects that language or content. But successful influencer outreach veers in a different direction after that. Take a look at who generates the content that promotes the most engagement, be it retweets, @mentions, link clicks, or traffic to your site (it's always nice when you have some other channel data). And then see what those authors' attitudes are to your brand/product/service. If they're a fan, target them to your heart's content. If they're not, you should either avoid them or use this as an opportunity to convert them into one.
Vote for me: How data will change the 2012 elections — Cloud Computing News
I find it interesting how the tone here is so much more nonchanalant than it was for the New York Times piece on Target a little while ago
- The video associated with this post is great and well worth your 15 minutes. But two bullet points deserve to be shared in their entirety:
- 5. "Data quality sucks, just get over it."
- That is the title of my post from June 2006. And look how far we've come. : )
- The core thrust of my post was that data on the web will never get to 95% clean and it will have big holes and it will be sparse in some areas. We should aim to collect, process and store data as cleanly as humanly possible, but after that we should move on to using the data, because we will still have more data about the web than what God's blessed any other channel with. Let's not become the type of people who continue to waste time on quality beyond the point of diminishing returns. Let's not become persistent javascript hackers and sprop variable tweakers at the cost of delivering value from data now.
- Multiply all of that a million times when it comes to big data. We will have dirty data. We will have no idea what to do with videos or spoken text or (omg!) social media overload. We will be missing primary keys. We will suffer from a lack of clean meta data (or sometimes any meta data!). We will realize the shallow limits of sentiment analysis. We will cry from the pain of the painful business process fixes that usually result in good data.
- And yet, we are standing on a mountain of gold.
- Do the best you can in terms of collecting, processing, and storing data of the cleanest possible quality. Know when to shift to data analysis. Start making decisions. Make small ones at first. (Remember, even they will be revolutionary, as these datasets have never come together!) Make bigger ones over time, as you understand the limitations of what you are dealing with.
- Here's the kiss of death: Big data implementation projects where the first touch of an Analyst will come 18 months after the project was first conceived. You see, the world would have changed so dramatically in 18 months that nothing you possibly spec'ed for is relevant any more.
- Think smart. Move fast. Slowly become Godlike over time.
- 6. Eliminating noise is even more important than finding a signal.
- This might be a little controversial. But stay with me.
- Thus far in the history data analysis the objective for our queries has been trying to find the signal amongst all the noise in the data. That has worked very well. We had clean business questions. The data size was smaller and the data set was more complete and we often knew what we were looking for. Known knowns and known unknowns. (See video above.)
- With big data, it is so much more important to be magnificent at knowing what to ignore. You must know how to separate out all the noise in the disparate huge datasets to even have a fighting chance to start to look for the signal.
- It is amazing but true. If you are not magnificent at knowing what to ignore, you'll never get a chance to pay attention to the stuff to which you should be paying attention.
- Your business savvy. Your analytical gut instinct. Tuning your algorithms to first ignore and then hunt for insights. That is what will have a material impact.

Remote Monitoring Changes Lives
MedSun: Newsletter #10, December 2006
Sophisticated new remote-monitoring systems are now allowing thousands of patients with chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, and depression to have their conditions monitored on a regular basis as they go about their daily lives rather than in visits to their physicians' offices. Barnaby J. Feder, writing in The New York Times (Business Section, September 9, 2006), reviews the health care ramifications of technologies being developed by medical device companies such as Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Abbott Laboratories. These remote-monitoring devices are able to regulate heart rate and deliver shocks when necessary; provide wireless Internet communication between patients and their doctors; monitor blood pressure, weight, and glucose levels; and alert patients and physicians about lung and circulatory problems.
Mr. Feder reports that although the "main use of the data gathered by the newest devices is to reconstruct events that send patients to emergency rooms," the "payoff for patients could be more effective use of drugs, fewer and shorter hospital stays, and longer stretches between routine visits to physicians' offices." He warns, however, that "the industry's vision of an electronic healthcare network that never sleeps is a long way from reality. Even leading-edge systems … currently fail to provide a comprehensive picture of chronic diseases." In addition, many physicians face a "pragmatic financial concern about gathering and reviewing remote data because many insurers are providing little or no reimbursement for such work." Relying on data collection services run by the device companies and independent monitoring services only compounds this concern. The medical community fears "that plaintiffs' lawyers will try to pin legal responsibility for recognizing warning signals on them, no matter who is collecting the data."

Thought for Christmas
Jesus' Christmas (Birthday): Another year has passed and Christmas is once again at the door. As always, it will be celebrated differently among different people. Some lured by the market 'bonanza', will take it just as a commercial opportunity. Some will celebrate by over drinking and merry making, while others afflicted by extreme poverty and misery, will most probably go to bed hungry even on Christmas night!
How many of us will truly delight in the remembrance of that blissful moment in human history when God, in His first Christmas over 2000 years ago, became Emmanuel, God with us? Trying to make our Christmas memorable by just exchanging expensive presents or by gorging on rich food and saturating ourselves with alcohol, sounds blasphemous! Indeed, allowing our material destitution to deprive ourselves with the true meaning and richness of Christmas is like missing the most exhilarating and personal appointment we can ever have with our God and Savior.
The focus of this thought is on the birth of Christ, our Savior. It is a time to rejoice and sing that our God has come to remain with us, the Lord who says, " come to me all you who labor and are over- burdened and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11: 28).
As we plan how we will share our gifts at Christmas, let us reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. "Blessed Edmund Bojanowsk, founder of the Little Servants of Mary Immaculate Sisters" gave to children and the poor because Jesus calls us to give His birthday presents to those in need. Let us not give into the oppressive influences listed above ... we are called to be Christ to the world! If we the Body of Christ share God's gifts, the needy will be a part of His birthday party".
"St. Luke makes a clear connection between the birth and death of Christ when he refers to Simeon's prophesy that Mary's soul would later be pierced by a sword (Luke 2: 34-35) and just has His mother Mary was to hold the child in her arms on that first Christmas day, so Mary would hold the dead body of her son as he would be taken down from the cross. Just as Mary was the womb in which the God –child was to begin human existence, so the tomb was to hold our God-adult some thirty-three or more years later". Bethlehem and Calvary must be seen together if we are not to lose the fuller sense of what the joy Christmas is all about.
This may be seen as twisted expression of joy but, in fact, it highlights the kind of joy that we are celebrating at Christmas. It is not the joy of empty passing pleasure but the joy that our God has come to save us and has saved us for sin. We rejoice that Christ has died for us so that we might be reconciled with God and with one another despite our sinfulness.
Christ has come then not just as a helpless child, but as our "Savior" to save us from the forces of evil and sin in ourselves and in our world. When we look around our world today, we are in no doubt about the fact that there is much that poses an obstacle to the love of God. There is warfare, ethnic cleansing, widespread poverty, bitterness, hatred, inhuman cruelty, etc., all of which are so many expressions of evil. This evil is real and it takes many forms.
It is for this reason that this paper also carries some reflection on social and cultural sources. These are phenomena that need to be properly understood and confronted with the saving power of Christ. They are forms of human oppression that are self –inflicted by our society and there is a critical need to focus on the economic crisis. They can cripple human development unless named for what they really are despite their complexity. While Jesus himself was very critical of all forms of social oppression, it is significant he was even more critical of oppressive religious structures, which he condemned in no uncertain terms.
The joy of Christmas must be experienced in a realistic way that recognizes the continued presence of selfishness and evil in our midst. Indeed, it is precisely because of our felt need for Christ in our personal lives and in our struggle for just social structures that we rejoice in the coming of our Lord and savior. We rejoice that we are not alone in our struggle. God is with us in our joys and sufferings. As we worship the newborn child in the manger, we say with the Shepherds, " Glory to God in the highest, and peace to people of good will" (Luke 2:14).
Finally, Christmas is a time when we need to think more about the needs of our fellow men and women, to share our gifts (time, talents, and treasure) to those in dire need of "daily bread" and love. It is a time for bringing comfort, joy and peace to others. It is a time for breaking down conflict in our homes, in our workplaces, and in our country. It is a time for forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a time when we challenge our selfishness and grow in the joy of giving. It is a time for thanking God for the gift of our faith. This is the true meaning of Christmas.
…"whenever you did this for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (Matt 25:40). --Zodiak Online

Prayer for peace
Please pray that I can have peace about an on-going situation that isn't getting resolved. It involves our daughter and her boyfriend and their baby. I have been asking for prayer about this for over a year. She lives at home again after living with him and his family, but there are still no definite marriage plans. We need to move in a few months and she is tempted to move in with him again to keep them together. I am distraught about this and tired of crying so much.

"Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Simply amazing performance at our daughter's wedding. The dance floor was full from beginning to end. Someone even commented that you know the band is good when people are dancing BEFORE dinner!!! And the dance floor was packed for the closing song...no one wanted to leave :),,Brandon and the band were very professional easy to work with. We plan on hiring them for another event"
