Process frequency response estimation from relay feedback
Department of Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore 119260

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a new identification method performed in the time domain based on the decentralized step-test is proposed for two inputs and two outputs (TITO) processes with significant interactions. In terms of parameter identification, the coupled closed-loop TITO system is decoupled to obtain four individual single open-loop systems with the same input signal. As in the SISO case, new linear regression equations are derived, from which the parameters of a first- or second-order plus dead-time model can be obtained directly. The proposed method outperforms the existing estimation methods for multivariable control systems that use step-test responses. Furthermore, the method is robust in the presence of high levels of measurement noise. Simulation examples are given to show both effectiveness and practicality of the identification method for a wide range of multivariable processes. The usefulness of the identified method in multivariable process modeling and controller design is demonstrated.Asian Journal of Control 05/2005; 7(2):154 - 162. · 1.41 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Step and relay feedback tests have been widely used for model identification in the process industry. The corresponding identification methods developed in the past three decades are surveyed in this paper. Firstly, the process models with time delay mainly adopted for identification in the literature are presented with a classification on different response types. By categorizing the major technical routes developed in the existing references for parameter estimation relating to different applications, the identification methods are subsequently clustered into groups for overview, along with two specific categories for robust identification against load disturbance and the identification of multivariable or nonlinear processes. The rationales of each category are briefly explained, while a typical or state-of-the-art identification algorithm of each category is elucidated along with application to benchmark examples from the literature for illustrating the achievable accuracy and robustness, so as to facilitate the readers to have a general knowledge of the research development. Finally, an outlook on the open issues regarding step or relay identification is provided to call attention to future exploration.Journal of Process Control 11/2013; 23(10):1597-1623. · 2.18 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One of the important parameters for tuning the response of a system in closed loop is the decay ratio. In this paper three tuning methods are compared: the DRMO tuning method [15,16], the KT tuning method [1] and the non-convex tuning method [3,17]. The latter method is based on setting the value of maximum sensitivity function M s . The results have shown, that the DRMO method sets a closed-loop response such, that the decay ratio is within a relatively tight interval with regard to other two methods, despite the fact that the DRMO method isn't based on optimization procedure (as is the case with non-convex method).

Have you been able to take 3D pics or videos that have something that pops out of the screen in your face?
Is Picassa any better? I think you get Picassa with Google account - not sure how any of that works...
You could upload them on DeviantArt.com... they allow HUGE resolutions on uploads. Off-Topic; but great art website too.
Just a thought but they will appear smaller until clicked. My PB acct will not resize during upload unless I choose that default .... maybe something has changed. Btw, Congrats on the phone! Looks great and can't wait to read more about your first impressions so PLEASE hurry up!!
You should use Picasa. Get the client for your desktop. Much easier to work with. You can specify to upload full size images. On the web, they will display small, but the user can download/view full size if desired. There might even be a picasa app that lets you do it directly from the phone. Picasa is Google, so the app should be free.
I believe there is direct Picassa sharing built into the HTC Photo Gallery. View picture, menu, then icon with dot at bottom with two arrows pointing outwards == share. Brings up menu, will walk you thru your Picassa sign-in if you've not done it before. To remain anonymous, supports more than one Google account, use same moniker you use here.
Thanks, I'll switch it to Picasa. Photobucket actually changed the resolution. If you look at the photo info, it doesn't have a 5MP resolution. Also, I can't get the adb screen shots to work. I have debugging enabled and have the SDK installed. On my Evo 4G, I saw a "USB Debuggin" notification, but I don't see that for the Evo 3D.

Yourfriendmat: Thanks for taking the time to do this... really gets me amp'd up for this thing! And, I bet you did it with a big Sh!t eating grin on your face, too, huh? (dont worry, i would have too!)
I looked but don't see mention of it. Have you looked at HBOOT to see if it's the May 20th version w/ S-ON?
Any info on call quality? I'm still nervous about this one. EDIT: Nevermind, sorry. I see this has been asked already.
I am pretty sure that by design there is not one in Android, because it would be a big security holes. The ability of Shoot Me to do this on the og EVO is actually a security weakness.
I can see the popout in a sample photo of some columns of rocks, but I can't actually take any photos where it pops out. Pictures look weird when things get too close to the lenses. I don't know if it's some brain issue where I can't interpret the image correctly or if it's actually a limitation of the hardware. I guess YMMV.
Yeah, this is one I'm anxious to test, unfortunately I have no friends (AKA they are all at work). I'll try calling my mom and asking her what she thinks of the call quality.
Have someone point at the camera with their outstretched arm, but make sure that the tip of the finger is no closer than 1.5ft from the camera, and make sure the entire hand and arm is within the display. See if that gives you the popout effect.
YFM......can you take a couple pics using the flash and without..... indoors please? The quality looks great with what you posted outdoors. Thanks in advance!
Homescreen -> Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Software info (or like that on Sense 3.0) ... looking for a build number or the like with that sort of number string. PS - Moved another to http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/305558-release-date-6-24-nationwide-6-21-sp-members.html Kindly note, this is for User Reviews on the actual phone, not ordering status - not being a meanie, but we have many threads discussing order details, thanks.
Very nice! Honestly, as anxious as we all are to figure out if these battery reviews are true or not, I'd really not sweat it. It's a new toy. God only knows how much gas I went through when I first got my Camaro. If anyone has an accurate gauge on average battery life before the 24th, I'd be surprised. And how the hell did you have enough patience to not rip open the box until after you took pictures? Where is the little kid at the Christmas tree anxiety? This is why I need to get it done at the Sprint store. So they get through activation before I can even get my hands on it. But very nice, man. I have a few questions, but I'll hold off until you can do a more comprehensive play session.
Ok I did that the best I could in my lab (found a lamp with a flexible arm). You really do get some popout! It's difficult to stay focused on it, though. I'm guessing that the brain has a hard time with the discrepancy between the parallax information and focusing depth information. Luckily I'm not one of those pansies that gets a headache! (hehe... no offense to you pansies... er uh... people who do!)

I should mention the representatives themselves were very nice.I hate to seem employees take slack for the company.
I hold Wells Fargo responsible not for my $15.99 (I should have just told their ATM rep if she kept pushing I would file a complaint) but for the time wasted sitting on hold and bouncing from person to person.If they want to push this product which itself might be a decent thing, they should have the full phone number on the account statement and their customer service should have been able to pull that number up in a few mintues.
So when I recieved my new ATM card from Wells Fargo I called to activate it. I was pushed to try "their" Purchase Shield program. After repeatedly telling the woman no, she kept insisting that I try for $1 and call to cancel when I had the details. I stupidly gave in, it's from my bank I figured it'd be easier to just call when it came in.
I did not recieve my packet but got a lovely $15 charge on my account. The charge conveniently did not give their full contact number. So I called Wells Fargo. I sat on hold 15 min and was told that this is not their program it's an affiliate and the representative put me back on hold to find the number. 10 min later she gives me 888-872-5524 and tries to connect me. It rings and hangs up on me so I call directly to get a woman who has no idea what I'm talking about, that I have the wrong number.
I call the bank back. I sit on hold another 20 min. I get a representative who puts in a stop payment and when I explain I'm very upset that THEY (Wells Fargo) sold me this, this isn't something I went and looked for and I can not understand why they can't provide me the information to get it off my account is beyond me. That if I continued to see charges I would take my money elsewhere. She too did not seem to have any number for them, and expressed surprise the other rep gave me the 5524 number since she did not see anything like that but after speaking to her supervisor offered to transfer me to claims to put in a claim as well.
The claims specialist tells me that the stop payment is in but if I still can't get a hold of anyone to call back next charge. I explain I can't get a hold of anyone since no one seems to have the number. After 2 reps, a supervisor, and my own account statement later I have no idea how they expect me to cancel. She seems surprised and tells me she has 888-872-5526 as the number. That was the correct one. But why I needed to spend over an hour and got through so many people is beyond me. Totally a rip off and I feel cheated.

I'm experiencing something similar. Never agreed to a *** thing. Got paperwork in mail. I threw it out. Now I appeared to be signed up for nine yards of *** I didn't want or ask for. I need to find a decent bank. Does one exist ?

Thank you so much for this information. I just called the phone number provided and cancelled my contract with them. Purchase Shield is just as described above. The customer of WF is offered the 360 program on a trial basis and; after some set time, you are charged a monthly fee to continue the service. I was unaware I was being charged until WF sent me a "suspicious charge" notice. They charged me $10.99/month.

I recently had a similar experience, as there was a mysterious looking charge from "WF*CPP PREFERRED MBR" for 69.99 on March 21, 2013. They could not comment on it and are making me wait 60 days for a reply to my complaint and if they agree, issue a refund. I shouldn't just get a refund...I should get an apology for STEALING FROM ME. That's a CRIMINAL ACT, Wells Fargo.
It's really SHAMEFUL. It inspires me to switch banks.

I'm disappointed in Wells Fargo and in a company that is somehow affiliated with them called Purchase Shiel (as listed on my checking account). I recently noticed that I have been charged $224.84 (charged monthly for either $14.99 or $10.99). I have no idea what it is, what it is for or why I was charged for it. I've spent the last 60 minutes on the phone trying to get this resolved with Purchase Shiel and Wells Fargo and only when I threatened to call the police, the state and the better business bureau were they agreeable to refunding me in full. It's a scam and SHAME ON WELLS FARGO FOR BEING INVOLVED WITH IT. I may have to change banks.

My wells fargo checking account has been charged with 14.99 since 2011 I never knew until today. They said I signed for it. I never did. This a scam and it should be reported to the proper authorities.

Just found the charge of $15.99 on my account and called to ask what it was for. The WF Customer Service Rep told me it was for enrolling in the Identity Theft Program. I did NOT enroll in this. I received requests to enroll in the mail and shredded them all. In addition, when the Wells Fargo rep told me that I would have to talk to the Identity Theft Program to clear it up and then transferred me, the Identity Theft representative told me that this would have to be cleared up by a Wells Fargo Customer Service rep! The identity theft rep said that they did not have my name or any of my information, yet it appears I was somehow "mysteriously" enrolled, so now I also question the bank's security and confidentiality. I called customer service, emailed them, and wrote a strongly worded letter. Let's see if they resolve it.

When I called about my mom's account they told me she signed up for this with a credit report. My mom is 73 why would she need or want this service. I don't think she read the small print as it is hard for her to see the print. Mom passed away and I went to Wells Fargo to ask about the charges and they told me that they had nothing to do with it. I then made her call this company and see what it going on and I was told mom signed up for this in May. I asked for a refund and was told we had to fax over a request which I made the lady at the bank use their letterhead and fax it over. Will see if that works if not I will look at another way. To me this is a bad bank that is trying to slide this "service" over on it's customers. Change banks use a local bank.

THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL IS 877-224-7430!! CALLING THEM TOMORROW, THEY SHOULD EXPECT AN EAR-FULL FROM ME!! They charged me and my account went into the negative which I never allow to happen. I believe the man at wells Fargo on the phone said they partner with a credit score and identity theft company called "Tri-legent". I have loved wells Fargo, why do they partner with such a fraudulent company?

This morning I looked online on my Wells Fargo bank statement and found a charge for $15.99. I thought I had never authorized this charge. On the charge was the number 877-224-7430?. I looked up the number and found the Pissed Consumer site and stories from people who had been through this before". I decided that I did not want this Wells Fargo "Purchase Protection" service". I called the number knowing that a refund was almost impossible, but what I really wanted to do was stop future charges!. No refund, but at least I won't have to deal with these charges anymore?. Thankfully I check my online statements regularly and stopped this at the first charge,. Turns out I accidently signed up for this service when I opted for a free yearly credit report for Wells Fargo|. When you opt for this, you sign up for the "Purchase Protection'." My advise is to call the number 877-224-7430 and be polite but VERY CLEAR AND FIRM that you do not want this service! 273f6e8

I discovered that $14.99 had been deducted for seven months. I had no idea what the charge was for. I had never heard of purchase shield, and I never received anything in the mail regarding the program. I went online and found that many Wells Fargo customers have had the same experience. I copied several pages of the stuff online, and my wife and I went to the bank and met with a banker. She denied knowing anything about the program and suggested that we had lost a debit card or that someone had gained access to our number and was using it for personal gain. She called two or three people and my wife spoke with one. I showed the banker the stuff I got online, and they were soon coming around to our point of view. But they wanted to refund us for just two months, instead of seven. My wife told them in very strong language that it was ridiculous, and we expected to get all our money back. When they finally agreed to that, they tried to get us to stay with the program. My wife got really irritated at that. Our entire amount was credited to our account within two days. HOWEVER, the next week, we received a letter from a vice-president who said that after careful ccconsideration of all the facts relevant to the matter, he had determined that the charges to our account were legitimate and therefore our claim is closed. WHAT? But after three weeks, nothing has been deducted from our account. We are looking for a new bank, and once we get our hundred thousand dollars... Show more

So I called them today and they tried to convince me that I purchased this product so I cursed and demanded that they give me my money back. The manager actually had the nerve to tell me that they would only refund me for 4 months of payment, so I cursed a little more and then she said that they will send all of my money back in 7 business days. I'm waiting now to see if I will have to call again to curse some more.

The guy called me and asked if I would like to try the product. I told him to send the packet in the mail which he said would cost 1 dollar and I would decide about it later. well weeks passed and I did not receive any packet. eventually I for got about it. Now I'm checking on my bank statements and these ***holes have been taking 14.99 out of my account for the last 8 months. I'm still waiting for the business hours to begin so that I can call them. I'm extremely pissed right now, so whoa beyond to whoever is the representative who will have to deal with me today.

I just noticed on my Wells Fargo Acct. that I was being debited 12.99. This is the first time I noticed this charge. AS I went in and checked for reoccurring charges I have seen this has been coming out for at least 18 mo. After calling the 1 888 number I was informed I had been a MEMBER for 24months. 298.77 cents worth of membership I had no clue I was a member of. I called C/S and they were kind enough to refund 77.99 cents. But for all you that were tagged with this scam, Please check your Wells Fargo Statement, so you don't get ripped off.

READ THIS: I'm a broke college student who was able to survive this scam. For 7 months I was being billed $14.99 reading WF Purchase Shield MB, I figured it was part of my account stipulations. After being told what purchase shield was used for, and clearly something I would not use anytime soon considering I spend almost no money except for gas I called this number; 888-872-5526. They claimed that they gave me a phone call asking if i wanted the 30 day trial with a one dollar charge, and then after that it would begin charging my account. They claimed that they sent out mailing info to my home address regarding the upcoming charges. I recieved neither this phone call, or the mail. After telling them i not only wanted to be removed, but wanted to know how they were charging my account when i NEVER gave them my permision, written or verbal, I was transferred to a supervisor. I then told the women, that unless they had a recording of them calling me, and those exact words regarding the trial vs. charges I wanted a full refund for something that I did not use once. Only when I told her I was living at a different address(partly true, since they have my parents address on file) did she say she would refund me for the entire 7 months and take me off their list.

Yeah this service sucks. I can't believe I gave into this BS of a scam. And the worst part of it is is that when they charged me I only had 10 bucks in my account so I got over drafted and had to pay the OD fee. I thought the shield protection *** program would have me out helped with something like this.. Oh and it's very frustrating when they keep pushing you to buy the program

The ravishing, abandoned Chateau Noisy, Belgium. My first overseas urbex…
Please email me at email@example.com or bubblemail me if you wish to purchase a photographic print of this image.
Featured in 'Imaginative Skulls', August 2011.
Featured in 'The Woman Photographer', August 2011.
Some loose research has revealed the following: The official name of the castle is Chateau Miranda, it was only later named Chateau Noisy. The architecture is in the Neo-Gothic style and was established in 1866 by an English architect named Milner, commissioned by the Liedekerke-Beaufort family. Unfortunately Milner died before seeing it completed.
The castle served in the beginning as a summer residence of the Liedekerke-Beaufort family who otherwise lived in the Chateau de Veves which stands opposite on an adjacent hill, both castles surrounded by lush forests and rivers. In the Second World War, Chateau Noisy was taken and used by the Nazis. Following this the Chateau then served as accommodation for children of Belgian rail employees (National Railway Company of Belgium; NMBS) as a holiday hostel and orphanage until 1980. Little is known of its fate from 1980-1991.
Now, however, since 1991 it has lain abandoned in an ever-diminishing state due to a fire in that year. It is reported that although the local municipality has offered to take it over, the family has refused. What is certain is that the enormous building languishes in the surrounding forest, completely concealed from the road and the outside world. It truly is a site full of beauty and mystery.
(Note: the site is heavily and actively guarded by security patrols and an armed forester, both of whom we saw but thankfully didn't see us, and is atop a very steep hill making access very difficult!)

Tech News & Commentary
Midway between mobile product launches, Apple (AAPL) has decided to tweak the specifications of its entry-level iPad and midrange iPhone in hopes of boosting sales.
Apple on Tuesday discontinued its 3-year-old iPad 2 and replaced it with a new version of its fourth-generation iPad, a tablet family that debuted November 2012 but was discontinued a year later. The new entry-level, full-size iPad comes with 16 gigabytes of data storage and costs $399 for the Wi-Fi only model and $529 for a version with cellular connectivity.
For the same price as the iPad 2, consumers will get a tablet with a high-resolution Retina display, a faster processor and better cameras. The new tablet offers "a dramatic upgrade in power, performance and value compared to the iPad 2 it replaces," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said in a press release.
View Enlarged Image
The reintroduced fourth-generation iPad joins the flagship iPad Air and two versions of the iPad Mini in the company's tablet lineup.
Apple's decision to replace the iPad 2 with the iPad 4 means that all of its tablets are now using the company's Lightning connector.
The iPad 4 re-release was the second product change from Apple on Tuesday. Apple also released an 8 GB version of its midrange iPhone 5C smartphone in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia and China. That has led to speculation that Apple might retire its entry-level smartphone, the iPhone 4S, the only product in its lineup that still uses the 30-pin connector port for charging and syncing with a PC.
In the U.S., the cheapest model iPhone 5C comes with 16 GB of storage and costs $99 with a two-year wireless contract. The iPhone 4S comes with 8 GB and is free with a two-year contract.
Apple's iPhones and iPads compete mainly with products running Google's (GOOG) Android operating system from vendors such as Samsung.
In recent years, Apple has released next-generation iPhone and iPad models in the fall.
Reuters reported Tuesday that Taiwan's Pegatron is opening up new factory space and recruiting workers in China to start manufacturing the iPhone 6 in the second quarter. Pegatron and fellow Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn, are the principle assemblers of Apple's iPhones and iPads.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Sharing gift of music her way of giving back
Annaka van Huizen's favourite childhood memory was when she was eight. Her mom took her to run errands. One of those errands included a trip to pick up a puppy named Bella.
"At first, I was dragging my feet and was too busy looking down at the ground. I didn't see the sign that said 'puppies for sale,' " said the high school student. "I always begged for a pet."
The 17-year-old was born in China. Due to the country's one-child policy -- a family planning regulation put into law by the government to control its population -- van Huizen was put up for adoption. At 14 months old, she was adopted and moved to her new life in Winnipeg.
"If I wouldn't have been adopted, it would have been a totally different life," she said. "I can't even imagine it."
Today, van Huizen has a new home and builds new memories at Sistema Winnipeg, where she teaches violin to youth. The program is designed to help students learn to play musical instruments such as the cello, double bass, viola and violin in an orchestra setting.
This weekend, students from Sistema Winnipeg played at the airport to welcome artists coming in for the 2014 Juno Awards.
"I fell in love with the program. It's a little orchestra of kids," she said. "I love being around the music and being around the kids."
The program began in Venezuela and made its way to Winnipeg three years ago with the help of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Seven Oaks School Division.
Every Tuesday after school, van Huizen volunteers with 60 students from grades 1 to 5. She found out about the program through a previous violin instructor who encouraged her to come out with her bow and violin.
Today, van Huizen is glad she did.
"It's a mini-symphony. I love seeing the kids interact with music," she said. "They really make something beautiful."
The Winnipeg teen started playing music in Grade 3, when a violin program started in her elementary school. After the first few classes, van Huizen would take the instrument home and practise in her bedroom.
"Every time I played, my cat would cringe and she'd run out of the room," she said. "There was something about the violin. When I picked it up, I really liked the sound."
Her passion for music became a lot louder at âcole Seven Oaks Middle School, where her music class played for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra and at the Manitoba Legislative Building.
"We played religiously every day and practised at lunch," she said. "It didn't even feel like a chore."
Van Huizen encourages other students to pick up the violin and do their chores by helping read music and teaching different finger techniques. After three years, van Huizen admits some of the students have surpassed her.
"I really like sharing music," she said. "Everyone needs music in their life, whether it's singing, playing an instrument or just listening to music. It's a nice enrichment part of your life."
But van Huizen's favourite part about the program are the kids, who have also inspired her to pursue a degree in education once she's finished high school. "Kids have a really nice spirit about them," she said. "You get to know them and become really close with them. When they're having a bad day, you want to help."
Although the student from Garden City Collegiate can't picture her life outside of Winnipeg, she also can't imagine it without programs like Sistema Winnipeg.
"My surroundings have played a big part in who I've grown into today," she said. "My mom and my teachers are huge role models."
Next to her English homework, van Huizen feels giving back to her hometown is very important.
"I love Canada. This is where I was raised and all my memories are here," she said. "It takes a village to raise a child. Now it's important to give back to my community."

Filemon, Regmon will stay free
Sysinternals founder Mark Russinovich says Microsoft's top priority is keeping widely used admin tools like Filemon, Regmon and Process Explorer freely available.

Last month, Microsoft took ownership of Winternals Software and its sister site Sysinternals, which offers for free the widely used troubleshooting tools -- Filemon, Regmon and Process Explorer. Since the acquisition, some IT administrators said they feared that Microsoft might alter the way the free tools are distributed.
But Winternals cofounder and tool developer Mark Russinovich, who nows works for Microsoft, told administrators last week on his popular Sysinternals blog that Microsoft's priority is to keep the tools freely available. He also said that Microsoft intends to keep intact the Sysinternals community, which includes a newsletter, a forum and Russinovich's blog.
Microsoft is continuing discussions on how to keep the program successful in the long term, Russinovich said. So far, the company has introduced a Sysinternals end user license agreement, which "allows for wider use of Sysinternals utilities within a company," he said.
Russinovich said the tools will eventually be moved to the Microsoft download center, which will increase download capacity. The tools will not be wrapped in .MSI files, he said.
"Rest assured that Sysinternals, though it might end up looking different, is here to stay," Russinovich said in his blog.

This meetup combines two of my favorite things: Comedy and Drinking.
The Minneapolis area has several great venues for live comedy including standup, improv, and sketch, so let's experience it and make some new friends at the same time.
The Minneapolis area also has a number of wineries and wine bars. I like wine, but drinking alone has such a social stigma, so Meetup to the rescue. Expect to see events at wineries, wine bars, restaurants with nice wine lists, and maybe even a wine bus.
Thursday, January 29, 2015 6:00 PM
Refunds are not offered for this Meetup.
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

Cats' eyes are remarkable. We all know how sharp they are, and we know how they can instantly change settings to suit how light or dark it is. And we know how beautiful they are, whether brightly or subtly coloured, staring back at you as they do, with affection and without shame.
Today's collection of readers' pet photos narrows its gaze to study the miracle that is a pair of cats' eyes - or just one on its own.
First, a cheer for some people who are working for cats and their owners in special circumstances: Red Zone Cats. This is a group that finds stray cats in Christchurch's quake-shattered red zone, carefully catches them, checks their health and vaccinates them, then seeks new homes for them. I urge you to check out their site, help if you can, and adopt if you can.
This week's cover-cat is a looker named Luka.
Murdoch's eyes are snow beacons.
With eyes the colour of Christmas tinsel, Hugo and Phoebe.
We're just playing, say Scud and Butters, learning slowly how to share space on a big bed.
Todd wears his "whoa!" expression.
Tommy hatches a plan.
Manny and Tinkerbell are indoors, wishing to be outdoors. Though, if you open a door or window for them, they might just need to rethink.
Morticia sees all, narrowly.
Isis just watched part of an episode of American Horror Story.
With eyes that are still learning to see: James. More of James later...
With eyes that have seen 18 years' worth of the world: Tiger.
"You made that shirt for me?" Roger is sentimentally grateful.
Maddie sees you only too well. She know what you did. Now fix it.
Possum's playful.
Henry's stern.
Jasper's attentive.
Tigger's a tiny bit hissy.
The last sliver of Zeus' eyes, like the last of the sun on the horizon. Soon, zzzz.
Look at Luigi's eyes: don't those pupils seem to get even bigger?
More cheeky gleam, this time from Charlie. His owner Shannon says: "I only had Charlie for a few months before he strayed and got hit by a car, but it was enough to fall in love with the little guy. RIP Charlie, you were a lovely cat."
Little James grew into a bronze-eyed hunk.
Maia has frisbee-eyes.
Milly could stop you in your tracks, like a traffic light.
Sapphire and steel at the same time: Harry.
The beautiful Puzzle.
A big, soft gaze from Meww Meww.
Scottish Folds speak their own ear-language, but their eyes are easy to follow. This is Squeak.
Giles used to be a feral kitten, but now he's a house cat.
Molly takes a drink while checking the horizon.
Finally, a little eye symphony from William and Emme. They like each other, really.

If you've been wondering where Waldo was, it turns out he's been hard at work on a new video game for Wii, DS and PC. Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey is being published by Ubisoft and is said to be an interactive adventure for the whole family.
Where's Waldo? has been a cultural phenomenon for over 20 years, with fans of all ages on the hunt for the elusive world traveler in the red-and-white striped shirt and hat. We are looking forward to bringing an interactive Where's Waldo? adventure to fans of the highly-acclaimed book series and introducing an entirely new generation to the pop culture icon.
In addition to finding Waldo in the standard way, there will also be a multiplayer mode where you face off against another person, grabbing power-ups along the way to help yourself and hinder them:
Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey will be hitting US shelves sometime in September. A screenshot or two are up now.

Roe is Me
By Aphrodite Brown on February 14, 2013
I was born in a time in this nation when women who became pregnant had no choice over if they would carry the pregnancy to term. I was born in 1972. The case that would change the laws of this land, and protect the sovereign right of a woman to control her own body was already en route to the Supreme Court. That case became known as Roe v Wade.
Roe V Wade is what we call it, but the decision was one of two. The Supreme Court in a simultaneous ruling declared that the 14th amendment to the constitution provided that a person has a right to privacy and the denial of that is a violation of the due process clause of that amendment. The other case decided at the same time is lesser known - but no less important to a woman's right to choose: Doe v Bolton.
In the Doe case, a 9 weeks pregnant Georgia woman filed a lawsuit because of the restrictive nature of the Georgia law at that time. In 1972 the state of Georgia contained the following restrictions :
- The procedure needed to be approved in writing by 3 different physicians AND by a special committee of the staff of the hospital where the termination would be performed
- Any non resident of Georgia could not have a termination under any circumstance in Georgia, not even to preserve her life
- A termination was only permitted in the case of rape - severe fetal deformity - and the possibility of fatal injury to the mother.
In a decision of 7-2 the U S Supreme Court determined that the Georgia law was not valid and that a woman has a constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.
The Roe decision is more widely known in part because it was the Roe decision that brought into the debate about abortion the words viability, and the question of state's rights.
The Roe decision determined that the states have to balance a woman's right to privacy with preserving prenatal life and preserving the health of the mother. Health was determined to not just be physical health but also mental health.
The Roe decision ruled that the interest of the state increased with the age of the pregnancy. It essentially determined that as the pregnancy aged, the unborn fetus was closer to being a real being and by extension consideration should be granted to the possibility of life in the same fashion it is extended to the proof of life (the mother carrying the child).
The simple break down of the law of the land is this: a woman has an absolute right to terminate a pregnancy in the first 12 weeks (the first trimester). From week 13 until week 40 states have the right to limit the ability of a woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy.
Abortion became legal in all 50 states and US territories January 22, 1973. 40 years ago.
There are now two generations of women who have never once had to fight for the right to make decisions about what to do ( or not do ) with her body. In those 40 years, methods of birth control have been invented and improved upon. In those 40 years medical science has advanced so that even as early as 22 weeks ( 5 1/2 months) a fetus can be delivered and have a reasonable chance at life.
In those 40 years a woman's right to privacy has been under relentless assault by legislatures and anti abortion advocates.
Some oppose it based on faith, others on the preservation of society, others still because it is the loss of a form of control.
Regardless, those who oppose a woman's right to choose have in their favor 2 generations of child bearing women who can not recall a time when this is how you had an abortion:
and sometimes you lived through it... sometimes you didn't.
I am thankful that I've never had to worry about carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term. I've given birth. No woman should HAVE to gestate for 40 weeks and either give up her child for adoption, or take her newborn home in an unwanted environment. No woman should be forced to breed against her will.
Yet as we've seen in the past 24 months nothing less than assault on a woman's right to choose.
From House Bill #13 of the 112th Congress to "personhood" laws in Ohio, to Governors like Rick Perry proudly proclaiming that he can make abortion at any stage of pregnancy illegal.
Planned Parenthood has been under assault by legislatures because some of their clinics perform abortions.
Exceptions for the health and life of the mother have been under assault by politicians who think that women lie in excessive amounts to get abortions, up to and including claiming to be "legitimate raped".
I value life. I value children. I value a woman's right to privacy.
I don't value trans-vaginal ultrasounds designed to shame women that are not medically necessary.
I don't value restrictive laws that make a woman's legal right to choose in the state of Mississippi null & void because the state only has 1 abortion clinic that might not be able to remain open because of laws designed to close it.
I don't value middle aged White men in Congress telling me what I must do with my body.
The thing about Roe and the legalization of abortion is that allowing a woman the right to control her own body costs, well, nothing. My right to privacy does not infringe on your right to "choose life".
The thing about overturning Roe and making abortion illegal again is that your morality is now being imposed on me, and anyone else whose right to choose vanishes.
That is not who we are, nor is it who we should be.
We need to teach our daughters that their right to choice is the one inalienable right that men continue to try to take away. We need to teach our daughters to fight for the preservation of this right.
We need to teach our sons that until they can carry a fetus for 40 weeks and push a head with a circumference of 50 centimeters out of a cervix dilated 10 centimeters that decisions about pregnancy need to live with those who do.

Met launches search for Lord Stevens' lost diaries
Hogan-Howe also told MPs that his force's response to the riots had been slow and inflexible
James Cusick
James Cusick is political correspondent of The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. As an experienced member of the lobby, he has previously worked at The Sunday Times and the BBC. His career as a journalist has been split between print and television, including senior positions as producer with Sir David Frost and at BBC Newsnight. He is also an award-winning golf and travel writer, working for over a decade as the UK contributing editor for one of the USA's leading golf magazines. He broadcasts regularly for the BBC and CNN. He lives in London.
Wednesday 12 October 2011
The Metropolitan Police has launched an inquiry to locate the missing diaries of its former commissioner, Lord Stevens. The hunt was ordered by the new Met chief, Bernard Hogan-Howe, after The Independent revealed last week that the Information Commissioner's Office had launched its own probe into the missing documents.
The decision to appoint a senior detective to head what Mr Hogan-Howe insisted would be a "a very thorough investigation" is a significant departure from the Scotland Yard's official response last week, which stated that diaries were "not a public document" and there was "no requirement" on the MPS to hold on to them.
Speaking to MPs on the Commons' Home Affairs select committee, Mr Hogan-Howe said he had asked the detective leading the hunt to "search everywhere we can to discover where these documents might be", adding "sometimes things get misplaced".
Lord Stevens' diaries – which list his official schedule during the time he ran the Met from 2000 to 2005 – were part of a Freedom of Information request recently made by Ian Hurst, a former British Army Intelligence officer involved in running IRA informants in Northern Ireland. Mr Hurst wanted to know how often Lord Stevens met with Alex Marunchak, a former Irish editor of the News of the World, and other News International executives.
Mr Hurst was told that as they could not find the diaries, the Met could not answer questions on who Lord Stevens had met. In addition to the diary probe, Mr Hogan-Howe also told MPs that his force's response to the summer riots in England had been slow and inflexible, leaving it "on the back foot" during the three days of street disturbances.
The Met boss said that in retrospect more officers should have been deployed as soon as the initial trouble flared in Tottenham. Poor intelligence, he said, hampered the Met's response. He promised a review of their tactics, but said that although the Government's austerity measures would mean cuts, he was determined to increase the police's visibility on London's streets.
