Robustness bounds for continuous systems with LQ regulatorsPage(s): 272 - 276| Quick Abstract | PDF (248 KB)
The problem of robust stability in linear quadratic (LQ) regulator systems with parametric uncertainties is considered. The method presented yields improved bounds on uncertain parameters. A robustification procedure for LQ regulators in systems is presented View full abstract»
Stable and fast neurocontroller for robot arm movementPage(s): 378 - 384| Quick Abstract | PDF (472 KB)
The authors present new learning algorithm schemes using feedback error learning for a neural network model applied to adaptive nonlinear control of a robot arm, namely the QR-WRLS algorithm and its parallel counterpart algorithms. It involves a QR decomposition to transform the system into upper triangular form, and estimation of the neural network weights by a weighted recursive least squares (WRLS) technique. The QR decomposition method, which is known to be numerically stable, is exploited in an algorithm which involves successive applications of a unitary transformation (Givens rotation) directly to the data matrix. The WRLS weight estimation method chosen allows the selection of weighting factors such that each of the linear equations is weighted differently. The QR-WRLS algorithm is shown to provide fast, robust and stable online learning of the dynamic relations necessary for robot control. We show the results of applying these learning schemes with some flexible forgetting strategies to a two-link manipulator. A comparison of their performance with backpropagation algorithm and the recursive prediction error learning algorithm is included View full abstract»
Neural network approach to signal modelling in power systemsPage(s): 257 - 264| Quick Abstract | PDF (520 KB)
A neural network approach to a system identification problem is presented. Traditional system identification techniques require knowledge of the model structure before parameter estimation methods can be applied. This approach requires less a priori information and the knowledge of model structure is not essential. A simulation study on a power system has demonstrated the application of this technique View full abstract»
New frequency-domain design method for PID controllersPage(s): 265 - 271| Quick Abstract | PDF (428 KB)
This paper presents a new PID controller design method based on process frequency response information. The novel ideas lie in the way that the closed-loop performance is specified via the desired response of the control signal, and in the use of only one (for PI control) or two (for PID control) process frequency response points in the design. Straightforward analytical formulas are given for the PID controller parameters. Simulation studies are given to compare this design method with other design methods found in the literature. The results indicate that the new method provides much smoother responses in both the control signal and process output, which are generally more desirable in the process control setting View full abstract»
Mobile vehicle navigation in unknown environments: a multiple hypothesis approachPage(s): 385 - 400| Quick Abstract | PDF (1072 KB)
The paper describes an algorithm for sensor-based map building and navigation for an autonomous mobile vehicle. The algorithm is based on the use of an extended Kalman filter to obtain estimates of the location and identity of geometric features in an unknown environment. A multitarget tracking methodology is applied to the evaluation of multiple hypotheses about the locations of geometric features in the environment. The algorithm does not require any a priori information about the environment. It is capable of initiating new geometric features and identifying the type of a geometric feature from the given set of geometric features, utilising the data provided by a set of sonar sensors. The algorithm is also capable of deleting geometric features from the map of the environment when they are no longer detected by the sensors. The implementation of the algorithm is discussed, and results using real sonar data are presented View full abstract»
Multifrequency Routh approximants for linear systemsPage(s): 351 - 358| Quick Abstract | PDF (468 KB)
A multipoint Routh γ-δ canonical continued-fraction expansion for the transfer function of a linear system is derived. Based on this general form, a multifrequency Routh approximant to the system is derived by selecting the expansion points on the imaginary axis and truncating the resulting continued-fraction expansion. A connection between the stability preservation property of the multifrequency Routh approximants and the expansion points on the imaginary axis is established. Thus the multifrequency Routh approximation procedure is flexible in deriving stable reduced-order models while fitting the frequency responses and retaining the time moments and/or Markov parameters of the impulse response of the system View full abstract»
Real time identification of robot dynamic parameters using parallel processing. 1. TheoryPage(s): 359 - 368| Quick Abstract | PDF (536 KB)
The paper develops the mathematical foundations for a parallel recursive estimator for the identification of dynamic parameters for a general n-link high performance robot. The estimation is structured so that one estimator is assigned to each link. Only composite parameters used for calculating joint torques (the inverse dynamic equations) are identified. The parallel structure makes possible the real-time estimation of dynamic parameters, including load and frictions, using only medium-speed processors View full abstract»
Digital interval model conversion and simulation of continuous-time uncertain systemsPage(s): 315 - 322| Quick Abstract | PDF (492 KB)
The paper deals with the problem of converting a continuous-time uncertain linear system to an equivalent discrete-time uncertain model and its digital simulation. The system matrices characterising the state-space representation of the original uncertain system are assumed to be interval matrices. The geometric series method together with interval arithmetic is employed to obtain the approximate discrete-time interval models. A new technique is developed to estimate the modelling errors. These modelling errors are used to modify the approximate interval models obtained via the interval geometric-series method. The resulting interval models (the enclosing interval models) are able to tightly enclose the exact uncertain model. Also their approximate discrete-time interval solutions are able to tightly enclose the exact interval solution of the continuous-time uncertain state-space equation. The proposed digital uncertain models can be used for digital simulation and digital design of continuous-time uncertain systems View full abstract»
Dynamic recurrent neural network for system identification and controlPage(s): 307 - 314| Quick Abstract | PDF (388 KB)
A dynamic recurrent neural network (DRNN) that can be viewed as a generalisation of the Hopfield neural network is proposed to identify and control a class of control affine systems. In this approach, the identified network is used in the context of the differential geometric control to synthesise a state feedback that cancels the nonlinear terms of the plant yielding a linear plant which can then be controlled using a standard PID controller View full abstract»
Real time identification of robot dynamic parameters using parallel processing. 2. Implementation and testingPage(s): 369 - 377| Quick Abstract | PDF (460 KB)
The paper implements and demonstrates a parallel recursive estimator for the real-time identification of dynamic parameters for a general n-link high performance robot. The implementation entails the use of a parallel processor platform which includes the real-time simulation of the forward dynamics of the robot. The parallel estimator is first tested for parameter convergence using PBRS test signals and then tested in a closed loop robot control environment. A case study is presented showing the real-time convergence of the dynamic parameters following the application of a payload View full abstract»
Discretisation of continuous-time control systems with guaranteed stabilityPage(s): 323 - 328| Quick Abstract | PDF (380 KB)
The paper proposes a new method for discretisation of analogue control systems which guarantees the stability of the resulting digital control system for almost any sampling period and recovers the continuous-time performance when the sampling period approaches zero. In this method the digital control system is obtained such that its transfer function from the reference input to the plant input approximately matches that of the original continuous-time control system, such that the H∞-norm of the error transfer function is minimum. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated through an example View full abstract»
Two-degree-of-freedom linear quadratic Gaussian predictive controlPage(s): 295 - 306| Quick Abstract | PDF (712 KB)
A two-degree-of-freedom LQGPC optimal control law is derived, which has properties in common with both the LQG and GPC control laws. The stability and robustness properties are the same as for an LQG optimal controller, but the cost of future predictive error and control action is dealt with in the same manner as for the GPC control law. An advantage of the approach is that true predictive action is possible, so the control at time t will optimally use the future reference-trajectory knowledge. The feedback controller to be implemented is time-invariant, but the future predicted control action is obtained from the polynomial equivalent of a time-varying solution, which is analogous to the solution of the finite-time deterministic LQ optimal control problem. The results can be presented in a form similar to that employed in GPC algorithms, suggesting an immediate way of achieving input and output constraints View full abstract»
Stability robustness bounds for linear systems with delayed perturbationsPage(s): 345 - 350| Quick Abstract | PDF (360 KB)
The paper presents sufficient conditions for delay-independent asymptotic stability for linear systems with multiple time-varying delayed perturbations. It demonstrates that judicious selection of Lyapunov functionals leads to improved bounds on allowed perturbations. It is shown that the bounds obtained for delayed perturbations are better than those derived in the literature for nondelayed perturbations. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results View full abstract»
Mixed objective constrained stable generalised predictive controlPage(s): 286 - 294| Quick Abstract | PDF (628 KB)
Constrained stable generalised predictive control (CSGPC) provides a means for handling constraints within the predictive control context and has guaranteed stability properties. However, to guarantee stability, an assumption concerning the feasibility of making the output reach its set-point over a finite horizon is required. If the performance objective is changed from a two-norm of the predicted errors to an infinity-norm, then the finite horizon feasibility assumption is not needed to guarantee stability. As might be expected, though, performance under an infinity-norm objective is often not as good. Here we propose an algorithm which overcomes these difficulties by mixing the two- and infinity-norm objectives View full abstract»
Control system design issues for unstable linear systems with saturated inputsPage(s): 335 - 344| Quick Abstract | PDF (700 KB)
The paper studies stable setpoint tracking for linear open-loop unstable systems with saturated control input. A linear reference filter is introduced that allows the independent design of the prestabilising and setpoint tracking controllers in an internal model control configuration. A nonlinear reference conditioning filter is also proposed that avoids saturation in the main control loop, which remains stable thereafter. Rules of thumb giving bounds on amplitude and frequency for sinusoidal references are given that ensure stable saturated operation of the nonlinear reference filter View full abstract»
Nonlinear control design for a Hammerstein model systemPage(s): 277 - 285| Quick Abstract | PDF (504 KB)
A nonlinear control law including an inverse of memoryless nonlinear gain and a sliding mode control with an observer is proposed to stabilise the Hammerstein model system with the parameter uncertainties. The nonlinear inverse gain of a nonlinear system is provided for improving the system performance over the competing designs developed by using the linear assumptions, The sliding mode control is employed to enhance the system performances. The stability of the overall system is assured by a Lyapunov's direct method including the sliding surface and the error of the state estimate and by a stable sliding surface which is independent of the parameter uncertainties. Finally, the simulations are used to evaluate the validity of the proposed method View full abstract»
Linear switching controller convergencePage(s): 329 - 334| Quick Abstract | PDF (372 KB)
Time-optimal control laws are known to be bang-bang, and well suited to relay or power electronic controllers. Closed-form solutions for the time-optimal control switching are obtained only for a limited set of low-order systems. The control approach in the paper is to determine the control value for a linear quadratic regulator, and then project this value onto the closest available switching control vector. The paper uses Lyapunov functions to show convergence of this projection approach, provided that the requested LQR control signal is limited in magnitude. A sequence of LQR solutions is used to cover the full-state space, and is found to give a control performance close to time optimal. When the system is open-loop unstable, convergence regions are determined from these Lyapunov functions. The region of guaranteed convergence is shown, in the limit, to be close to the full region of possible controllability. The sequence of LQR solutions with control projections is found to be a well defined control design for arbitrary order linear multi-input multi-output systems, leading to good switching control performance View full abstract»

clean good condition, warm, homey nicely decorated
We loved our stay. It was perfect for our family (3 kids thank Gd). The place was clean and organised. The pictures don't do the home justice. Our kids loved the lake and sand beach. We made good use of the kayaks. Monica was great to deal with and always available to answer all our questions. We would definitely come back for a holiday.
the house was truly beautiful - so beautiful that we never left! it was such a great weekend away and so peaceful to be there. i would definitely recommend to anyone and hope to stay there myself again soon! betsy was also super nice and very helpful!
We were so lucky to find this home to rent while in the area for HITS, The place, like its owners, is beautiful inside and out. One member of our group kept saying that she couldn't believe anyone would rent out such a wonderful home. The gardens are amazing, the bedrooms are comfortable with soft sheets and the kitchen has updated appliances. The entire house is clean, there were clean towels layed out for us and fresh flowers on the kitchen table. There was a bad storm one of our nights there and the owner texted us to let us know where to find candles and flashlights. One of my favorite things was leaving the windows open at night and falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall. It is truly a magical place. Dariush, Debra and Marni

The wheels on your bike are not to be overlooked in terms of performance and importance. In addition to a solid frame, road bike wheels are often what makes or breaks a good bike; without the right wheels, it's not the complete package. So what makes a good wheel? Read on to find out everything you need to know about road bike wheels.
Although modern road bike wheels are getting more and more hybrid and generally better at performing multiple functions, there are still speciality wheels that work better at one job than others. If you're a hill climber, then you'll want nothing more but to shed as much excess weight as possible, so therefore a light wheel is the best you can buy. However if it's wind resistance that you want to keep to a minimum then you'll need aerodynamics over light weight. Aerodynamics are important for speeding through the flats and straight, rolling terrains.
Here at ProBikeKit USA you'll find all types of road bike wheels, including lightweight and aerodynamic variants, you can even check the weight on the product pages.

Rob Henry Was the Sensible, Obvious Pick For Purdue Boilermakers At QB
There are a ton of uncertainties for Purdue heading into the 2013 season. They have a new coach in Darrell Hazell, who has never coached in the Big Ten before, by far the most difficult schedule the first half of the season and up until today, a question mark at the quarterback position. But with the naming of senior QB Rob Henry as the starter, Hazell has solidified the most important position on the field.
Unlike Hazell, Henry has been at Purdue for what seems like forever. After starting 11 games at QB in 2010, Henry fell off the map. He tore his ACL before the 2011 season, where he once again would have started, then when he returned last year was the third string QB. Now, the position is once again his, as long as he can stay healthy.
Henry beat out two freshmen QBs in true freshman Danny Ettling and redshirted freshman Austin Appleby. Not only did Henry outplay his competition in the spring and over the past couple of weeks, which by all reports he did handily, but he also will bring a stability to the position that neither of the freshman could.
For a rookie coach like Hazell, having an experienced QB who has started a full season in the Big Ten already is huge. Henry isn't expected to be one of the best QBs in the conference (or most efficient), but for a team that is not expected to win many games, he will be dependable and solid behind center.
Hazell realized that Henry brings the most talent and stability to the quarterback position for Purdue and that is why he was the easy choice to be their starter.

It's like you get caught by the bad guy but he has run out of ammunition so you get to escape with a draw where otherwise he would have won.
@OP: When neither player has enough material with which to checkmate, the game ends immediately, as a draw by insufficient material. The scenarios that cause this are:
1) King vs. King
2) King vs. King and Bishop
3) King vs. King and Knight
4) King and Bishop vs. King and Bishop, if both Bishops travel on the same color squares.
Never offer a draw in King vs King + bishop! There's a chance your opponent could mess up and you'd win. Remember, no one ever won a game by drawing!
thanks, every reply was helpful.
@OP: Except for waffllemaster's post, which is apparently an attempt at jocularity. Just to clarify: the scenario King vs. King and Bishop is an automatic draw, so you will not be given an opportunity to offer a draw.
Ever play Pictionary?
It does not have to be both sides with insufficient material.
If your opponent has a king and a pawn and you have a king you cannot deliver checkmate (material insufficient) but your opponent could queen his or her pawn so their material is not insufficient.
But if they take so long trying to queen the pawn and deliver mate that they run out of time they would normally then lose the game on time. But, because of the insufficient material rule they do not lose, instead the game is a draw.
This rule seems to cause much annoyance as there is an indignant thread started about it here on many days.
This is true. When one side runs out of time, more scenarios are included in the insufficient material rule. The four I explained above do not necessarily take running out of time into consideration.

PRSA Professional Adviser, Online Marketing Strategist for Champion Real Estate ServicesHeading back to my alma mater to library room 124, I was so happy to walk through that familiar door to a full house at an Otterbein PRSSA meeting. Granted, there was free pizza involved, but I knew that more went into this attendance than just Donatos.
This semester, the executive board of Otterbein PRSSA has designated a theme of consumer and lifestyle public relations. This is such a fresh idea for the organization, and I should know because I ran it not that many years ago. I was very impressed at the executive board's out of the box thinking and not going for a typical agency/corporate/nonprofit curriculum for the year. Especially because the lessons that the day's speaker, Tom Santor, executive director of brand marketing for Donatos pizza, were so applicable to the true fundamentals of public relations.
Santor talked about his experiences with placing news stories for the newest line of bacon pizzas and giving reporters what they need to help them turn around a story in the short amount of time they usually have. He talked about handling the crisis of a rogue employee on the show "Undercover Boss." He talked about the process of research and development to get consumers to fall in love with a new type of pizza. These were great examples of some day-to-day functions of someone in the public relations profession, and I think it helped make things a little more concrete than most ideas that I remember having as a freshman and a sophomore in the major.
I look forward to seeing how Angela Sedivy, the Polaris Fashion Place's marketing director, built upon the lessons that Santor presented. Speakers for the semester with this theme will hopefully highlight one important fact of public relations: and that is how customer service oriented it really is.
This fact was one that I did not realize until my final semester of college when I was working in the communications department for the Ohio Department of Transportation. We were doing public relations, there is no doubt about that, but we were achieving that public relations by being the communicator to the general public and making sure that their questions and concerns were always addressed. This was when I realized that brand and message control often goes hand-in-hand with customer service.
Even now, as I do online marketing for the real estate industry, I have to keep the customers in mind to achieve our ultimate goal of defining a brand. I do social media, but you know what a brand's social media accounts are really for? Connecting with the customer. I write ad copy, but you know who I am really writing it for? The customer looking for an apartment who just needs good information, fast. I do website analytics, but you know what I am really looking for in that data? Things that need improved, so that our customers can use the site more efficiently and effectively.
Whether your brand is dealing with the general public like Donatos or the Polaris Fashion Place or it is B2B and you have a roster of clients, you are in the customer service industry just as much as you are in the communication industry. That is why we communicators are so important, after all.
Thank you for writing for our blog, Lindsey!
COMM hosts High School Media ConferenceStandard
Westerville, Ohio – Hundreds of high school students converging in one area might seem to some a frightening phenomenon, but on Otterbein's campus Oct. 14, a gathering of high school media students pointed toward a hopeful future.
For the tenth year, Otterbein's Department of Communication hosted the Ohio Scholastic Media Association Region 5 Workshop, a day-long program giving teenagers a closer look at Otterbein's state-of-the-art facilities through hands-on media production sessions.
The more than 300 students from 15 central and southwestern Ohio high schools were not just taking selfies and misspelling the King's English in texts. Instead they were learning how to take better news photographs, discussing investigative story ideas, and willingly improving their grammar.
"For a decade this workshop has been a unique opportunity for bright high school media students to experience a bit of Otterbein's strong communication programs," said Jean Kelly, associate professor of communication. "They attend sessions taught by our faculty and talk to current students who volunteer to help as facilitators of the event."
Several students who have attended the event over the years have eventually enrolled in Otterbein's communication majors, Kelly added. "We look forward to hosting this event for years to come because these teens have what it takes to become successful communicators."
Otterbein PRSSA launches fall semester themeStandard
By: Adam Piccin '16
Otterbein PRSSA President
Otterbein PRSSA's fall semester theme is consumer and lifestyle public relations. Three public relations and marketing professionals are visiting to discuss how they go about gaining publicity for the product or service they represent.
Megumi Robinson of Experience Columbus visited Otterbein PRSSA on Sept. 15 (pictured above). Robinson, associate director of public relations, was the first of three speakers to come this fall.
On Oct. 27, Tom Santor, executive director of brand marketing for Donatos Pizza, will come to speak in lieu of National Pizza Month.
The final speaker of the semester will be Nov. 10; Angela Krumpelman Sedivy, the Polaris Fashion Place's marketing director, will round out the speaker events for the semester.
Otterbein PRSSA executive board members said they hope students appreciate this semester's speaker theme. After all, "Customer service is public relations," David Fleet of Edelman said.

Featured Practicum: Tan & Cardinal Magazine PracticumStandard
Get hands on experience working for Otterbein's own magazine publication with the Tan & Cardinal magazine practicum.
The process of creating the magazine first begins with practicum students and staff brainstorming newsworthy story ideas. The stories are then divided into two groups to determine their deadline based on length and subject matter.
Next comes the process of writing, interviewing, and editing articles. Students follow the schedule which the editor has laid out for each issue and report back each week on the progress of their stories. They also inform the designer and photographer on what graphics or pictures they would like to accompany their story before finally seeing their work fresh from the press.
For senior creative writing and psychology double major and editor of the T&C magazine Josh Park, the opportunity to engage in real-world responsibilities is a key asset of the practicum.
"Students are more independent in working on articles and have a more applied sense of responsibility," said Park. "For example, missing a magazine story deadline means there's a hole in the magazine. There's a strong emphasis on student responsibility, which is why I think it's so important to be available for students to take. Students can even hold positions of leadership which can apply outside of college and be great for resumes."
The T&C magazine practicum meets Tuesdays at 4 p.m. and is worth one credit hour.

MINI USA's Exclusive MINI United Program
Now that we've made it official that we'll be at MINI United, we wanted to let all of our readers and listeners know how to join us. The first step is registering via the MINIUSA's Owner's Lounge and at MINIunited.com. By registering for the USA program in addition to MINI United, you will be invited to these bonus events at no additional fee:
- A specially discounted hotel rate of 185 Euros at the designated MINI Program hotel
- Welcome package
- Commemorative gifts and lots of goodies
- Friday night Welcome Reception (including dinner for you and a guest)
- Daily shuttle service from the Moevenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre to MINI United at Zandvoort (a must since you'll have to leave your wheels behind!)
- Access to a MINI for use on track at Zandvoort
- Sunday night Gala dinner party (dinner for you and a guest) in Amsterdam with special guest Rauno Aaltonen
However it's important to remember that you can only gain access to the exclusive MINI USA events by reserving your hotel room at the Moevenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre through a link to a registration web site found on MINI Owners Lounge. Rooms and program space are limited and reservations will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. Register early to ensure your participation in the MINI USA program. A two-night minimum reservation is required and cancellations will not be accepted after May 15. Registration closes on May 15.
To recap, those from the US going need to register both at the MINI USA's owners lounge and MINIunited.com to get all the registration benefits.
Think about it this way. With gas prices rising in the US, there's no telling how much you'd spend driving somewhere this summer. Why not take that money and spend it on airfare to Amsterdam? With deals being offered all the time for places like London and Amsterdam, it may be cheaper than you think. British Airways for instance, is offering a great sale through tomorrow on the entire summer. You can check it out here.

- Higher homeowner's insurance deductibles can give you substantial savings if you own a home in San Antonio. You'll have to pay more out-of-pocket if you have an insurance claim, but if your claims are infrequent, you may come out way ahead by raising your deductibles and pocketing the savings.

Some insurance companies in Texas may give you a break on your rates if you have a monitored security system installed. Check with your insurer prior to installing a system to see which systems they recommend.

Vogtle Construction Update Video
This video provides an encouraging view of the positive impact that the Vogtle expansion project is having on the local community. It's 4,000 – 5,000 construction jobs is just one part of the economic impact; that $23 million dollar property tax check shown during the video is another part that apparently brings smiles to the faces of local government leaders and school children.
During a talk at the Nuclear Energy Insider Small Modular Reactor conference, I heard a Wall Street banker make the following statement to explain why his bank is reluctant to finance a nuclear energy project.
As an investor, I am not anti-nuclear. I am pro-money.
I couldn't find the speaker after his talk. I wanted to tell him that I am not anti-money. I am pro-people. That's why I am a nuclear energy proponent.
Personal side note – George Koucheravy, the big, bearded guy speaking from 4:12-5:29, signed a substantial portion of my EOOW qualification card on USS Stonewall Jackson in the spring of 1983. He asked some tough questions. It was great to hear his voice again; it brought back a flood of memories.

I agree with your pro-people philosophy. Trouble is wall street is not, and that is probably the only way a pro-people person can invest in a large nuclear project. Solar power,thermal or electric, is probably by far the easiest way for a person to directly invest in pro-people energy.
Rod Adams says:
@wind smith
Here's the funny thing. A substantial portion of the money that Wall Street controls and invests is owned by millions of individuals who have invested in pension funds, mutual funds, and regular bank accounts.
We should demand to get more for our money than just bigger returns and paychecks for the bankers.
David Gattie says:
Nice video, Rod; thanks for posting. Several of my former engineering students, some being environmental engineers, are working for CBI on this construction.
Count me as "Pro-economy, Pro-employment, & Pro-environment". For me, that adds up to "Pro-nuclear".

Who's a clever boy then? Parrot pinches passport

Hit & Run: This show's got legs
Thursday 28 May 2009
Mrs Robinson has been through gruelling surgery which has left her unable to see out of one eye. But the facial reconstruction was a success, and given the severity of her injuries, it's a testament to the skill of her surgeons that she emerged from the operating theatre with her face intact. But she is being rather prickly about it all. Which isn't that surprising, given that Mrs Robinson is a hedgehog.
Jeremy Warner: The inflationary parrot is not yet deceased
Wednesday 25 March 2009
Having been declared dead, it appears that the parrot still lives. I'm talking about inflation, which to the surprise of most forecasters actually rose last month as measured by the Consumer Prices Index. To believe the headlines, you would think we were already in an age of deflation, yet the latest numbers have bizarrely forced the Governor of the Bank of England again to write to the Chancellor explaining why inflation is still so much above target. Wait a while, he might have said, and I'll be writing to you to explain why we are so far below target.

Bought wrong fragrance.

After reading some suggestions in another thread for a nice men's scent I settled on 1 Million by Paco Rabanne.
Wrapping presents just now I noticed I'd bought Millionaire by Lomani instead. Stupid me, rushing today, didn't notice, didn't even think when paying why it was so cheap.
I don't know wether it's worth battling the shops again tomorrow to swap it, or just wrapping it and giving it anyway.
I liked the smell of 1 Million, haven't smelt the other. Seeing as it's for DH I will be smelling it a lot (I guess, depending if he likes it and wears it).
I know it's trivial, he may not even like either one, just torn on what to do.
Has anyone compared the two, or has smelt the Lomani?
Posted 23 December 2012 - 09:18 PM
I wear Paco Rabanne Lady Million and its beautiful. I'd be braving the shops to change it.
Posted 23 December 2012 - 09:32 PM
I did the same kind of thing today! As I was walking past the perfume shop I saw Cool Water by Davidoff on sale and decided to add it to DH's Christmas present. Brought it home,only to discover I bought the womens fragrance of it. I think I will attempt to exchange it tomorrow for the mens version (Which probably isn't on sale)
Posted 23 December 2012 - 10:09 PM
I'd brave the shops.
Not that I have any choice, I'll be working tomorrow (retail) so I'll be there anyway.

This is a straightforward comparison review between the S.H. Figuarts ShinkenRed and the Power Rangers Samurai Standard Red Ranger figure. And I've got to say, Figuarts are awesome. Thanks to BlueFin Tamashii Nations U.S.A., I've gotten hooked. The fact that their collaboration with Bandai America and Saban Brands this season doesn't help either. TO ALL TOY COLLECTORS: If you want to see Figuarts for another year, the Shinkenger ones NEED to sell out quickly. So contact all your friends who are into that kinda stuff and get them to buy these. Oh, and this is on a site now. If you want to read more about this video for whatever crazy fucking reason, here. Click the following link. Because it's on a blog now. Yay. http://danstokurants.rangercentral.com/?p=385 Also. Enjoy, you bastards.
I wanted to make a tribute video to Mako and Kotoha. Watch in HQ!!! Show is Shinkenger and I obviously don't own it. Please watch and comment nicely!!!
My last account got *** by u-tube, so here it is again... my lego creation of the samurai sentai shinken-oh. glad to hear that there will be a power-ranger version of it, and so far the pr plot can be very close to the original, which is all good with me!!
Abaranger - Shinkenger all henshin sequences and roll call, except for DekaSwan(I do not want the narrator within the henshin) DekaBright (did not found when I did the video) DekaGold (sadly she has no full henshin/roll call sequence). I also left them out because they just appear in one or two episodes.(I'm not sure about DekaBright since i only know it from her PR counterpart Nova Ranger) I especially like the Go-Onger - Gekiranger part.

Japan's nursing facilities pin hopes on robots
Publication Date : 04-08-2014
Robots for nursing care and other medical purposes are being developed around the country, as Japan's graying society has fueled hope regarding robots' ability to ease the burdens of nursing care and support physical activity.
One estimate sees the domestic market for robots swelling to 10 trillion yen (US$97 billion) by 2035.
Different companies are competing to develop the latest technology, including start-ups emerging from universities and companies entering the field from different industries. Local governments are also implementing support measures.
Aiding care of dementia
This April, the Nakai Fujishiroen nursing care facility for the elderly in Nakai, Kanagawa Prefecture, introduced three Palro robots equipped with artificial intelligence. The 40-centimetre-tall robots were developed in 2010 by software company Fujisoft Inc., based in Yokohama.
The Palro is a "healing robot" capable of remembering more than 100 people's faces and names, as well as past conversations. It can also dance.
About 150 welfare facilities for the elderly have introduced Palro robots nationwide.
"It even remembers my name," Taka Sudo, a 90-year-old resident of Nakai Fujishiroen, said happily. According to a member of the facility involved with the robots' use, many elderly people feel more affection for the robots when conversation among them is awkward.
After nine cities and two towns in Kanagawa Prefecture, including Sagamihara, were designated by the central government as special robot manufacturing districts in February 2013, the prefectural government examined the effect Palro robots had on elderly people with dementia. The results showed that many people enjoyed such activities as conversing and playing games with the robots.
"We also expect preventive benefits regarding dementia. We'll continue to support development," said Yukio Takazawa, head of the prefecture's manufacturing promotion division.
Keeping the user in mind
Industrial motor manufacturer Muscle Corp. entered the field of robots around 2010, designing Robohelper Sasuke, which gently lifts and transports patients.
Sasuke is used for such purposes as transferring a person from a bed to a wheelchair. The movement of a hammock sheet on which the person is placed and the lifting force applied to it are controlled by a lever manipulated by the caregiver.
"The comfort of the person being cared for is the important thing," said Hirofumi Tamai, 62, president of the Osaka-based company.
Sasuke is distinguished by its simple structure, in which the robot is operated simply by moving the lever up and down. This was made possible by the company's own Cool Muscle motor, which combines a driver and controller in one unit.
Initially during development, Muscle focused on performance, working on a device that would automatically measure the weight of the person to be carried and transport them all by itself. However, the people on the front lines of nursing care had different priorities.
"Making something that is useful to people is the No. 1 priority, not showing off our technological capabilities," Tamai said. Muscle is continuing its development of robots with this principle in mind.

so I have a data set with the following columns: test_group, person_id, gross, purchases. This is essentially a list of people, how much they've spent, how many times they've purchased, and what group they are in.
I'm using the following ddply code to get some summary statistics:
mean_rpu <- ddply(data, .(test_group), summarise, total_rpu=sum(gross),
total_users=length(person_id), total_purchasers=length(subset(data,
purchases > 0)$person_id), mean_rpu=mean(gross), sd_rpu=sd(gross))
The problem I'm running into is with the "total_purchasers" summary. I'm trying to get a count of people who are purchasers within each test_group. The current code only displays the total_purchasers in the entire dataset, not repsective of the test_group factor. Any optimizations I can do with this?
I appreciate the help!
