Dr. Lan Pham, a former senior staffer financial economist for the Congressional Budget Office, was fired from the organization for her attempts to quantify the economic implications of foreclosures and foreclosure fraud. The CBO rejected her analysis and even dismissed the notion that foreclosures cause a negative hit to the economy. The letter, from February 2011, was just released publicly today.
The release of this information should cause grave concern as to the legitimacy of CBO reports, and highlight the conspiracy of silence about foreclosure fraud issues, which official Washington simply does not want to deal with.

Description This invention relates to microcode control memory systems for controlling the central processing unit of a computer system as various program instructions are supplied to it. More particularly, this application relates to a system in which the microcode address sequence for performing a particular program instruction may be altered in progress by sensing conditions in the central processing unit of the computer which will control the microcode instruction sequence. Certain patents are known to applicant in the prior art which may be relevant to this application. U.S. Pat. No. 3,980,991 shows a system in which a sensed condition is used to control a particular microcode instruction. However, that patent does not anticipate the sophisticated system of the present application. U.S. Pat. No. 4,079,451 shows a logic means to select the mode of operation of an indirect addressing system between a fast and a slow mode. The fact that the mode of operation is changed dependent upon system conditions may be relevant to the concept of the present invention. Address modification of the type shown in this application is not contemplated by this patent. U.S. Pat. No. 4,021,779 shows a different type of microprogram control system in which only changes in the control status of the system are stored rather than the complete status for every step in the sequence. Thus, every element of every instruction is not stored when only changes in a condition are stored in memory. This patent is mentioned because it shows the sensing of conditions during a program sequence but the program sequence itself is not altered by the sensed conditions; only the way that the program is stored in memory is altered. U.S. Pat. No. 4,042,972 shows a microprogram system in which sensed conditions are used to cause the skipping of an instruction in a program sequence as the result of a sensed condition, but this patent does not show the altering of microcode instructions in the way contemplated by the present application. The sensing of operating conditions in a computer system during a microprogrammed instruction sequence is known. However, no prior art known to the present inventor shows the efficiency of microcode memory design accomplished in the present system by using sensed conditions in the computer system to alter the microcode sequence while in operation. Thus, the present invention requires a much smaller microcode memory control system than would be the case if every possible variation and control state had to be specifically preprogrammed into the microcode control memory. The sensing of conditions and alteration of microcode control instruction sequence allows for shorter address length and less microcode memory capacity than would otherwise be the case in a complicated computer system. The present invention uses a microcode control memory system employing two separate microcode memory modules. The first microcode memory handles single step microcode instructions and the second microcode memory handles multi-step microcode control instructions. The microcode memory addressing network has the basic function of generating a modified address to be used to reference a microcode memory based on both dynamic and nondynamic central processor events. Input sensing registers are provided as inputs to the memory in addition to the conventional address register. A modified address may have two parts. The first part is predetermined using a microcode address field called the jump address. The second part is the modifier address field which is not predetermined but is instead formed as a function of some preselected events in the central processor. Thus, the present invention uses appropriate logic networks to insert the sensed events gathered in appropriate registers into the appropriate address field as an input for the microcode address to generate control outputs for the central processor. The FIGURE is a block diagram of a microcode memory according to the present invention. Referring now to the FIGURE, the present invention consists of a microcode control memory system 10 in which a first microcode memory 12 and a second microcode memory 14 contain all of the control function outputs necessary to implement the instruction inputs. The modifying control output fields are provided externally to the memory to provide the complete output function. The input instruction code to the system is provided on input line 16 to an instruction code register 18. Register 18 is connected to microcode memory 12 as well as to an output hardware translation network 20. Network 20 is connected to group network select register 22 and determines from input address bits which of several possible inputs to register 22 will be selected for output from register 22. Group network select register 22 is connected to a lower address register 24 associated with microcode memory 14. An upper address register 26 provides additional input to the second microcode memory 14. An adder 28 provides an address incrementing function when the microcode memory 14 is proceeding in serial order through a sequence of instructions. Outputs from microcode memories 12 and 14 are connected to an output select network 30 which selects the appropriate microcode memory for output to the output register 32. Variations in control state for the microcode control memory are provided through both a single event register 34 and a group event register 35. The single event register 34 is connected to a single event select register 36 the output of which is connected to register 24 as a control function. The single event network 34 receives as an input a select code on a bus 38 from the output register 32 when an appropriate instruction in a sequence of instructions is reached so that the system is functionally aware that sensed events must provide output control state bits. For the same purpose a control line 40 is also connected between register 35 for group events and the output register 32. The output of group event network 35 is connected to group select network 22 as another input. Logic control network 42 controls whether input A or input B will be selected by way of upper register 26 as the upper portion of the address supplied to microcode memory 14. Logic control network 42 may be an OR gate as shown in the FIGURE. This network receives an input on a control line 44 from output register 32 and a control line 46 from the single event register 36 and produces an output on control line 48 connected to register 26. Similarly, control line 46 is also connected to register 24 to complete the register control process. The jump address is conveyed from the output select network 30 to an input of register 26 on line 50 which divides into a first portion 52 going to register 26 and a second portion 54 going to register 24. Each portion conveys both the upper and lower portions of the jump address to be gated as input to the microcode memory 14 under various conditions. A description will now be provided of how the present invention provides control functions for a central processor unit based on the sensing of preselected events. For purposes of the example given in the FIGURE, the address modifier which is formed as a function of the preselected events is taken to be 4 bits wide. This modifier is an output of group network select register 22 and an input to the lower address register 24. If the B input of the lower address register 24 is selected by the selection networks, the modifier will be used as 4 bits of the address for microcode memory 14. If the B input is not selected, then the particular 4 bits of the jump address provided on bus 50 will be used as the particular 4 bits of address to microcode memory 14. Thus, the gate A input on the lower address register 24 is responsible for causing a replacement of the lower portion of the jump address with the modifier bits on line 56. The gate A input on line 46 is the output of the single event register 36, which is a one-bit register, or flip flop, receiving a selected central processor event by way of the single event network 34. Register 36 also receives a control bit from either microcode memory 12 or microcode memory 14 to allow inversion of the state of the selected central processor event, to cause the reverse control function. Thus, the selection of the modifier is itself actually conditioned on single central processor events. The modified jump address thus becomes a conditional modified jump address. The upper part of the address to microcode memory 14 is contained in the upper address register 26. As in the case of the lower address register 24, there are two possible inputs and a gate A control input line from network 42. In this case, however, the B input and the gate A input are different. The B input is a particular 4 bits of the incremented form of the previous microcode address. The gate A input is the output of the gate A function from network 42 which is an OR function between its input lines 44 and 46. The input on line 46 to the gate A upper network 42 is the same as the gate A lower address on line 46 from network 36 so, therefore, whenever the A input is gated to the lower address register 24, the A input is also gated to the upper address register 26. When this occurs, the entire jump address will be used to load both the upper address register 26 and the lower address register 24. The input to network 42 on line 44 is a control bit from microcode output register 32 which, when set, forces the gate A signal to the upper address register 26 to thus select the A input to the upper address register 26 but not affecting the gate A for lower address register 24. This situation would arise whenever a modified address is desired in that the upper 4 bits of the address to microcode memory 14 would be forced to be the upper 4 bits of the jump address while the lower 4 bits would be the modifier based on preselected conditions provided that a gate A lower address register 24 condition has not occurred. This situation results in an important effect in that the upper 4-bit address portion would direct the next address to one of sixteen possible microcode tables, each sixteen microcode words long. The lower portion or modifier would further direct or specify the address to be exactly one of the sixteen words of that particular sixteen word table selected by the upper portion. Thus, by proper assignment of events to the inputs of group event network 35, an optimum usage of the microcode words of memory 14 will be realized. Also, a necessary conservation of hardware is attained within networks 35 and 22 since the many required inputs into those networks are quickly and efficiently gathered and selected to become the lower portion of the address to microcode 14. Thus, this efficiency of design facilitates response to 32 various CPU events within one CPU clock cycle required for dynamic, pipelined operations. The previous explanation should have defined the basic control and data input for the two portions of a microcode address where the example assumes an 8-bit microcode address with two 4-bit portions. Thus, a jump address may be used as an entire 8-bit address or it may be divided into a 4-bit jump address portion and a 4-bit modifier portion or other relevant combinations based on the principle of this invention. Further discussion will now be provided on the way in which a particular group event is selected to be a modifier code. Group event network 35 has, for example, eight inputs each consisting of an event group. Each of these event groups may have, for example, 4 bits each of which could form a modifier. A 3-bit select code is provided from the output register 32 as a control function to the event network 36 to select one of the eight group events to be the output provided on line 58 to network 22. The event groups are, in nature, dynamic central processor events or conditions which must be sensed by the microcode control circuitry so as to have the microcode memory generate the correct sequence of microcode control words for central processor control function based on the original instruction command provided on input line 16. The 3-bit select code on line 40 is provided by either microcode memory 12 or 14 and is predetermined by the microcode program. There is a second rank of group selection handled by a group network 22 with one of its inputs being the output of group event network 36 received on line 58. Three other inputs may also be provided to group network 22 for example. The B and C inputs may be selected function code bits in addition to the basic input instruction code on line 16. Because the design of the system of this example shows a microcode memory 12 having 256 words which therefore does not allow an address larger than 8 bits, any additional instruction code bits must be used as modifiers to microcode memory 14. Thus, one significant advantage of the present invention is that longer instructions containing additional bits may be provided in a system having a nominal 8-bit instruction code such as for example a 12-bit instruction code in particular cases. The B or C inputs to group network 22 are selected by way of an input control code which is an output of the hardware translation network 20. Note that the hardware translation network 20 will set one of its two outputs for only a small subset of a 256 possible machine language instructions provided by the 8-bit function code. This is done since only a subset of the entire machine language instruction set needs to use the additional instruction code bits to gain information about instruction execution. Thus, the economy results in that rather than making the entire system responsive to 12-bit instructions only a particular subset of machine language instructions must be responsive to 12-bit instruction codes where an 8-bit instruction code is adequate for the majority of cases. The fourth input to group network 22 is a particular 4 bits of the incremented 4 of the previous microcode address received from adder 28. Recall that the particular 4 bits were discussed earlier and were shown to be used as an input to the upper address register 26. This incremented form of the previous address will be used whenever it is desired to cycle sequentially through microcode addresses. The operation of the conditional modified jump mechanism will be explained using additional special terms to refer to some of the essential control signals from microcode by a 3-letter mnemonic. Therefore: MOD: The C input to the gate A upper network 42 which, when set, causes the A input to be gated into the upper address register 26. PSA: This is a 4-bit select code to choose one of sixteen possible single events from the central processor to be used as a condition for conditional jumps and conditional modified jumps and is an input to group event network 36. PSB: This is a 3-bit select code to choose one of eight groups (each 4 bits) to be used as an address modifier and is an input to group event address network 22. PSC: This uses two control lines to choose either the A or D inputs to group event address network 22. MO1: This is the jump address from microcode which specifies the next location to be referenced in microcode if a non-modified jump occurs. Also, if a modified jump does occur, then the upper 4 bits of this field (register 36, groups 4, 5, 6 and 7) are used as the upper 4 bits of the next microcode address with the lower 4 bits being the modifier. NOT: This is an input to the single event register 36 and when set will invert the state of the single event sense network register 34. With the previous discussion and definitions, an example of a conditional modified jump is as follows: ______________________________________MicrocodeAddress MicrocodeMemory 1 Fields______________________________________81 PSA=1,NOT=082 PSB=3,PSC=2,MOD=183 MO1=9084. .. .. .. .90 16 word table which is91 entered if the conditional92 modified branch does occur.. Which word is referenced. is dependent upon what. value the modifier. has.9F______________________________________ In the example, the microcode fields necessary for a conditional modified branch operation are shown. At address 81 are the PSA and NOT fields. With a PSA=1 code set, CPU event B will be selected into the single event network 34. With a NOT=0 code set, CPU event B will not be inverted at the event register 36. Thus the gate A lower address signal will be set if and only if event B is set. Note that if the gate A lower address signal is set then the MO1 field of address 83 will be taken into the lower address register. Because the PSA and NOT field must pass through both the output register 32 and the event register 36, whereas the MO1 field does not pass through any registers prior to reaching the lower address register 24, the PSA and NOT are set in address 81 and the MO1 field is set in address 83. Assuming that CPU event B is not set and thus the gate A lower address is not set, then the modifier will be selected at the lower address register 24 and a modified jump will occur. The PSB=3 at address 82 will select group 3 into group event network 36. The PSC=2 at address 82 will select group 3 via the A input into group network 22. Thus, group 3 will be the modifier. The MOD=1 set at address 82 will cause a gate A upper to occur. This will insure that the MO1 field will be selected at the upper address register 26 (for the example shown, the 9 of the MO1=90 will be taken to the upper register 26). Thus, a modified jump will occur from address 83 to address 9X where X is somewhere between O16 and F16 dependent on what the modified is (i.e., event group 3). The previous example showed how a conditional modified jump can be performed from address 83 to 9X. Note that both locations are contained within microcode memory 14. A modified jump operation occurring from microcode memory 12 to memory 14 will be described. Assuming microcode memory 12 is being selected at the output select 30 and that a condition occurs which will cause switching to memory 14, examine what occurs if the op-code at input line 16 is a 32 code. By definition, a 32 code is one which, when seen by the hardware translation network 20, will cause the select B control input at group event network 22 to be set. This will enable additional selected op-code bits to be gated into group network 22 via the B input, thus causing these additional op-code bits to be the modifier. Here, hardware translation network 20 rather than microcode control bits are responsible for establishing a modifier. Patent Citations

William has completed online and offline ID verification.
Overall, the stay at Will's apartment in Philadelphia was very disappointing for my friends and me. When making the reservation I underscored cleanliness as a concern because of reviews by previous guests. Our host stated he'd "cleaned and dusted" the unit before our arrival. What we found indicated he'd done so very superficially. We had to give the bathroom floor and kitchen sink a good cleaning and borrowed a vacuum to clean the carpet. The shower curtain and shower tub tile were disgustingly stained with black mildew. The bathroom floor was coated with dust and loose hair. the carpet is spotted and in need of proper cleaning. Accumulated dust was visible in the corners and woodwork. Internet/wi-fi was listed as amenity but we couldn't access it. When I contacted him for help our host was unresponsive. We paid extra for one person but the air bed deflated after on hour of laying on it. The photos posted on the site were either taken right after the carpet had been cleaned or before he started living there so they are not accurate depictions of the state of the place. Five stars for location, zero stars for condition. The average would be 2.5 but unresponsiveness, uncleanliness and misrepresentation have a price...1.5 stars. Giving him one star is extremely generous.
This worked for us. Centrally located, easy to get in and out, helpful door staff. I would advise future guests to insist that the bathroom be professionally cleaned and to ask Wil to change the shower curtain, which was black with mildew. Light sleepers may want earplugs; it's in a busy commercial district, and loud trash trucks come every other day around 6 am.
Great - William was extremely helpful and flexible with our arrivals and departures. Great location and beautiful building. Would definitely stay again.
William was extremely helpful and a great host! We booked with William last minute, and he was out of town, but made it work. We checked-in and out with ease on our own time. His apartment was in a great location, close to a lot of late-night entertainment, but within walking distance to the historical sites. Thank you very much for a great stay!
This apartment was perfect for our needs. We came down to drink, eat, and go to the mütter museum. We were within walking distance of everything. Wil made check in and out very easy. He was very flexible and responded to my texts quickly when I had questions. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location. William was very easy to contact. Check in was convenient. The apartment is nice but the bathroom was messy.
The appartement was well situated, but the place was very dirty ,the household has not been done before our arrival, we were very disappointed, it was unpleasant.
Great location, reasonable price, central to amazing shopping, restaurants, Rittenhouse square and public transportation. William was easy to get in contact with, and flexible with times, and the front desk staff of the building is very helpful and friendly. The apartment is spacious and could easily fit 4 people if necessary (we were only 2). Overall great stay!
William was very accommodating to us during our stay in Philadelphia. He let us check in and out at our convenience and even let us stay an extra night with very short notice. The apartment was very cozy and clean and in the most perfect location you could ask for. There are so many great restaurants and bars surrounding his apartment in a very safe area. I could not have asked for a better experience with Airbnb. I would recommend William's apartment to anyone looking to stay downtown. It beats the hotels any day. Thanks again Will!
Apartment was clean and at a good central location. William was very flexible and easy to contact. Recommend for a quick stay in the city!

Christmas tree rash (pityriasis rosea) is a fine, itchy, scaly rash that usually appears first as a single patch on the chest, abdomen or back. After this first appearance (herald patch), the rash may spread as small patches to other parts of the back and chest and to the limbs. The rash may form a pattern on the back that resembles the outline of a Christmas tree.
Pityriasis rosea usually resolves without treatment within six to eight weeks, but it can last several months. Medicated lotions may lessen itchiness and may speed the disappearance of the rash. Often, though, no treatment is required.

Article: Competition of proton and neutron pair breakings: High-spin structures of $^{124-127}$Te isotopes
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present work recently available experimental data for high-spin states of four nuclei, $^{124}_{\ 52}$Te, $^{125}_{\ 52}$Te, $^{126}_{\ 52}$Te, and $^{127}_{\ 52}$Te have been interpreted using state-of-the-art shell model calculations. The calculations have been performed in the 50-82 valence shell composed of $1g_{7/2}$, $2d_{5/2}$, $1h_{11/2}$, $3s_{1/2}$, and $2d_{3/2}$ orbitals. We have compared our results with the available experimental data for excitation energies and transition probabilities, including high-spin states. The results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. The wave functions, particularly, the specific proton and neutron configurations which are involved to generate the angular momentum along the yrast lines are discussed.12/2014; -
Conference Paper: Experimental investigation of particle-hole excitations in 91Nb
DAE Symposium on Nuclear Physics, Physics Department, BHU, Varanasi; 12/2014 - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present work we have interpreted recently available experimental data [H.M. David et al., Phys. Lett. B {\bf 726}, 665 (2013)] for low-lying $T=0$ and $T=1$ states in the odd-odd $N=Z$ nucleus $^{62}$Ga using large shell-model calculations within the full $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space and deformed shell model based on Hartee-Fock intrinsic states in the same space. The calculations have been performed using jj44b effective interaction developed by B.A. Brown and A.F. Lisetskiy for this model space. The results obtained with the two models are similar and they are in good agreement with experimental data.09/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Yrast and near-yrast states in odd-A Nb89 were investigated using the Cu65(Si28,2p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 105 MeV. The γ-ray coincidence events were recorded with the Indian National Gamma Array spectrometer. About 30 new transitions have been observed extending the level structure of this nucleus up to spin 45/2ℏ and excitation energy of 10.5 MeV. Large-scale shell model calculations were performed using the effective interactions JUN45 and jj44b to understand the structure of the observed states. Reasonable agreement between the experimental observation and shell model calculations suggests that no cross-shell excitations are important up to the maximum spin observed in the current experimentPhysical Review C 07/2014; 90(1):014306. · 3.88 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High spin states of Zr88 were populated with Se80(C13, 5n) fusion evaporation reaction. A thin target as well as Au backed target were used in two different experiments for the present study. Excited levels of Zr88 have been observed up to spin ̃20ℏ and an excitation energy of ̃10 MeV. Spin and parity of most of the states have been determined from directional correlation and polarization measurements. The level scheme was substantially extended with the addition of a number of high spin states and transitions. The comparison of the measured levels of Zr88 with large shell model calculations based on the full unrestricted f5/2pg9/2 model space established the dominance of shell-model excitation up to the highest observed spin.Physical Review C 04/2014; 89(4):044315. · 3.88 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this work nuclear structure properties of $^{86,87,88,89}$Y isotopes have been investigated using large-scale shell-model calculations within the full $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space. The calculations have been performed with JUN45 and jj44b effective interactions that have been proposed for use in the $f_{5/2}$, $p_{3/2}$, $p_{1/2}$, $g_{9/2}$ model space for both protons and neutrons. Reasonable agreement between experimental and calculated values are obtained. This work will add more information to previous study by projected shell model [Eur. Phys. J. A 48, 138 (2012)] where full-fledged shell model calculations proposed for these nuclei.01/2014; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nuclear transition matrix elements (NTME) for neutrinoless positron double beta decay (0νβ+β+ and 0νβ+EC) of 64Zn, 74Se, 78Kr and 84Sr nuclei, which are in the A = 60–90 region, are calculated within the framework of the deformed shell model (DSM) based on Hartree–Fock states. For 64Zn, GXPF1A interaction in 1f7/2, 2p3/2, 1f5/2 and 2p1/2 space with 40Ca as the core is employed. Similarly for 74Se, 78Kr and 84Sr nuclei, 56Ni is taken as the inert core employing a modified Kuo interaction in 2p3/2, 1f5/2, 2p1/2 and 1g9/2 space. After ensuring that the DSM gives a good description of the spectroscopic properties of low-lying levels in the four nuclei considered, the NTME are calculated. The half-lives deduced with these NTME, assuming the neutrino mass is 1 eV, are smallest for 78Kr with the half-life for β+EC decay being ~1027 yr. For all others, the half-lives are in the range of ~1028–1029 yr.Journal of Physics G Nuclear and Particle Physics 08/2013; 40(9):095107. · 2.84 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Comprehensive set of shell model calculations for $^{78-84}$Se isotopes have been performed with recently derived interactions, namely JUN45 and jj44b for ${f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}}$ space. To study the importance of the proton excitations across Z=28 shell in this region mentioned by Cheal {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf104}, 252502 (2010)], calculation for ${fpg_{9/2}}$ valence space using an ${fpg}$ effective interaction with $^{48}$Ca as core and imposing a truncation has also been performed. Comparison of the calculations with experimental data show that the predicted results of jj44b interaction are in good agreement with experimental data.Physica Scripta 04/2013; 88(4). · 1.03 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present work recently available experimental data (Astier et al 2012 Phys. Rev. C 85 064316) for the high-spin states of five N = 82 isotones, 136 54Xe, 137 55Cs, 138 56Ba, 139 57La and 140 58Ce have been interpreted with shell model calculations. The calculations have been performed in the 50–82 valence shell composed of 1g7/2, 2d5/2, 1h11/2, 3s1/2 and 2d3/2 orbitals. We have compared our results with the available experimental data for excitation energies including high-spin states, occupancy numbers and transition probabilities. As expected the structure of these isotones are due to proton excitations across the Z = 50 shell. The structure of the positive-parity states are mainly from (πg7/2πd5/2)n and (πg7/2πd5/2)n − 2(πh11/2)2 configurations, while the negative-parity states have a (πg7/2πd5/2)n(πh11/2)1 configuration. Additionally, for the 136 54Xe, 137 55Cs and 138 56Ba isotones the excitation of the neutrons across the N = 82 gap is important.Journal of Physics G Nuclear and Particle Physics 01/2013; 40(3):035106. · 2.84 Impact Factor - DAE Nuclear Physics symposium 2012; 12/2012

ABSTRACT: We have interpreted recently measured experimental data of $^{77}$Ge, and also for $^{73,75,79,81}$Ge isotopes in terms of state-of-the-art shell model calculations. Excitation energies, B(2) values, quadrupole moments and magnetic moments are compared with experimental data when available. The calculations have been performed with the recently derived interactions, namely with JUN45 and jj44b for ${f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}}$ space. We have also performed calculation for ${fpg_{9/2}}$ valence space using an ${fpg}$ effective interaction with $^{48}$Ca core and imposing a truncation to study the importance of the proton excitations across the Z=28 shell in this region.

ABSTRACT: Near yrast states in 89Zr were investigated up to high spin using the fusion evaporation reaction 80Se(13C, 4n) at an incident beam energy of 50 MeV. Excited levels of 89Zr have been observed up to ∼10 MeV excitation energy and spin ∼37/2ℏ using the prompt gamma spectroscopy technique with the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA). The angular distribution, directional correlation, and polarization measurements were carried out to assign the spin and parity of the newly reported states. The structures of both the positive and negative parity states up to highest spin observed in the present experiment have been compared with shell-model calculations using two recently developed residual interactions, JUN45 and jj44b.

ABSTRACT: The Bohr Hamiltonian prescription for collective behavior in heavy nuclei is used with the ground state, vibrational and rotational bands each allowed unique mass parameter values. Excited-state energies and E2 transition probabilities of the nuclei 163, 165Er are calculated, these nuclei being selected for their particular relevance to the model, and their topical nature in both theoretical and experimental studies.European Physical Journal A 09/2012; 48(9). · 2.42 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The low energy structure of $^{35,37,39,41}$S isotopes is described performing shell model calculations with the recently devised SDPF-U interaction. Protons and neutrons are restricted to the $sd$-shell for $N < 20$, neutrons start filling the $fp$-shell for $N > 20$. Natural parity states are described with only in-shell mixing, opposite parity states with 1p-1h inter-shell neutron excitations. Energy levels and intensities of electromagnetic transitions are compared with experimental data when available.07/2012; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have performed shell model calculations for neutron deficient even 102-108Sn and odd 103-107Sn isotopes in sdg7/2h11/2 model space using two different interactions. The first set of interaction is due to Brown et al. and second is due to Hoska et al. The calculations have been performed using doubly magic 100Sn as core and valence neutrons are distributed over the single particle orbits 1g7/2, 2d5/2, 2d3/2, 3s1/2 and 1h11/2. In more recent experimental work for 101Sn [I. G. Darby et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105 (2010) 162502], the g.s. is predicted as 5/2+ with excited 7/2+ at 172 keV. We have also performed another two set of calculations by taking difference in single particle energies of 2d5/2 and 1g7/2 orbitals by 172 keV. The present state-of-the-art shell model calculations predict fair agreement with the experimental data. These calculations serve as a test of nuclear shell model in the region far from stability for unstable Sn isotopes near the doubly magic 100Sn core.International Journal of Modern Physics E 05/2012; 21(04):50049-. · 0.84 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Shell model calculations for Ni, Cu and Zn isotopes by modifying fpg interaction due to Sorlin et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 092501 (2002)] have been reported.

ABSTRACT: A shell model study of the low energy region of the spectra in Ge isotopes for $38\leq N\leq 50$ is presented, analyzing the excitation energies, quadrupole moments, $B(E2)$ values and occupation numbers. The theoretical results have been compared with the available experimental data. The shell model calculations have been performed employing three different effective interactions and valence spaces.We have used two effective shell model interactions, JUN45 and jj44b, for the valence space $f_{5/2} \, p \,g_{9/2}$ without truncation. To include the proton subshell $f_{7/2}$ in valence space we have employed the $fpg$ effective interaction due to Sorlin {\it et al.}, with $^{48}$Ca as a core and a truncation in the number of excited particles.Journal of Physics Conference Series 04/2012; 387(1). - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of different mass parameters for the rotation and two vibrations in the Bohr Hamiltonian is important for describing properties of nuclei, especially interband E2 transition probabilities. For odd nuclei, the Coriolis interaction of the angular momentum of an odd nucleon with that of a nucleus can affect results noticeably. Excited-state energies and E2 transition probabilities have been calculated for the 163Dy and 173Yb nuclei, by using three different mass parameters and taking into account the Coriolis interaction, once shell-model calculations have been performed to determine the single-particle ground-state properties of 163Dy and 173Yb.Physical Review C 03/2012; 85(3):034307. · 3.88 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Yrast levels of Ni, Cu and Zn isotopes for $40 \leq N \leq50$ have been described by state-of-the-art shell model calculations with three recently available interactions using $^{56}$Ni as a core in the $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space. The results are unsatisfactory viz. large $E(2^+)$ for very neutron rich nuclei, small B(E2) values in comparison to experimental values. These results indicate an importance of inclusion of $\pi f_{7/2}$ and $\nu d_{5/2}$ orbitals in the model space to reproduce collectivity in this region.International Journal of Modern Physics E 12/2011; 21(01). · 0.84 Impact Factor

If you haven't downloaded the AMC show (but plan to soon), prepare yourself for experiencing someone else's mid-life crisis, with healthy doses of terminal illness, murder, infidelity and drug-dealing thrown in to keep it interesting. Spending time with chemistry-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin Walter White, his family, and the surrounding characters, is exhausting and engrossing at the same time. The characters (and Walt especially) are more complex than any you have spent time with on the TV screen. Instead of reviewing the show, as others have done far better than I could, I thought it would be fun to review what lessons the show teaches us about entrepreneurship. Walt is, in the end, an entrepreneur. He makes some good and not-so-good choices. Below are six lessons from Walt's experiences as an entrepreneur: Choose the right co-founder Walt understood early on that he needed a co-founder that rounded out his skill set. Jesse Pinkman, Walt's co-founder in crime, handled distribution, and Walt headed up product. Until the final season, they did more than that for each other. They had each other's back, and balanced each other out emotionally. Most investors prefer Walt's multi-founder approach to starting a company. (In technology startups, that means a strong business co-founder with an equally strong technical co-founder.) As important as picking a co-founder who minimizes your functional weaknesses, seek out someone who balances you, personality-wise. Every startup goes through major ups and downs. Maybe you won't be running from drug cartels, neo-Nazis, and the DEA, like Walt and Jesse, but starting a company will likely be an emotional roller coaster

Lotus 1-2-3 is a spreadsheet program from Lotus Software (now part of IBM). It was the IBM PC's first "killer application"; its huge popularity in the mid-1980s contributed significantly to the success of the IBM PC in the corporate environment.[1]
The first spreadsheet, Visicalc, had helped launch the Apple II as one of the earliest personal computers in business use. With IBM's entry into the market, VisiCalc was slow to respond, and when they did, they launched what was essentially a straight port of their existing system in spite of the greatly expanded hardware capabilities. Lotus' solution was marketed as a three-in-one, integrated solution, which handled spreadsheet calculations, database functionality, and graphical charts - thus the name "1-2-3". 1-2-3 quickly overtook VisiCalc, as well as MultiPlan and SuperCalc, two VisiCalc competitors.
1-2-3 was the de facto standard throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, part of a triumvirate of products that included dBASE and Word Perfect to build a complete small business platform. It was not until the acceptance of Windows 3.0 started to grow that the market began to change. None of these companies had seriously considered the graphical user interface in the DOS era, and responded slowly to Microsoft's own products, Excel and Word. As the early 1990s ended, 1-2-3 was in the number three position, and never recovered. IBM purchased Lotus and continued sales, only officially ending sales in 2013.
VisiCalc was launched in 1979 on the Apple II and immediately became a best-seller. Compared to earlier programs, VisiCalc allowed one to easily construct free-form calculation systems for practically any purpose, the limitations being primarily memory and speed related. The application was so compelling that there were numerous stories of people buying Apple II's to run the program.[2] VisiCalc's runaway success on the Apple led to direct bug compatible ports to other platforms, including the Atari 8-bit family, Commodore PET and many others. This included the IBM PC when it launched in 1981, where it quickly became another best-seller, with an estimated 300,000 sales in the first six months on the market.
There were well known problems with VisiCalc, and several competitors appeared to address some of these issues. One early example was 1980's SuperCalc, which solved the problem of circular references, while a slightly later example was Microsoft Multiplan from 1981, which offered larger sheets and other improvements. In spite of these, and others, VisiCalc continued to outsell them all.
The Lotus Development Corporation was founded by Mitchell Kapor, a friend of the developers of VisiCalc. 1-2-3 was originally written by Jonathan Sachs, who had written two spreadsheet programs previously while working at Concentric Data Systems, Inc.[3][4] To aid its growth, in the UK, and possibly elsewhere, Lotus 1-2-3 was the very first computer software to use television consumer advertising.[citation needed]
1-2-3 was released on January 26, 1983, and immediately overtook Visicalc in sales. Unlike Microsoft Multiplan, it stayed very close to the model of VisiCalc, including the "A1" letter and number cell notation, and slash-menu structure. It was cleanly programmed and relatively bug-free, gained speed from being written completely in x86 assembly language (this remained the case for all versions until 3.0 when Lotus switched to C[5]) and wrote directly to video memory rather than use the slow DOS and/or BIOS text output functions.[citation needed]
This reliance on the specific hardware of the IBM PC led to 1-2-3 being utilized as one of the two stress test applications for true 100% compatibility when PC clones started to appear in the early 1980s. 1-2-3 was used to test general application compatibility, with Microsoft Flight Simulator being used to test graphics compatibility.[6][7][8][9][10][11] 1-2-3 required two disk drives and at least 192K of memory, which made it incompatible with the IBM PCjr; Lotus produced a version for the PCjr that was on two cartridges but otherwise identical.[12] Because spreadsheets use large amounts of memory, 1‐2‐3 helped popularize greater RAM capacities in PCs, and especially the advent of "expanded memory" which allowed greater than 640k to be accessed.
Lotus 1-2-3 became the first "killer app" for PC compatibles, especially as it was available exclusively on that platform and no other computers. Many thousands of PCs were sold solely for the purpose of running 1-2-3, and its near-monopoly of the spreadsheet market remained unchallenged for a decade.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2012) |
Lotus 1-2-3 inspired imitators, the first of which was Mosaic Software's "The Twin", written in the fall of 1985 largely in the C language, followed by VP-Planner, which was backed by Adam Osborne. These were able to not only read 1-2-3 files, but also execute many or most macro programs by incorporating the same command structure. Copyright law had first been understood to only cover the source code of a program. After the success of lawsuits which claimed that the very "look and feel" of a program were covered, Lotus sought to ban any program which had a compatible command and menu structure. Program commands had not been considered to be covered before, but the commands of 1-2-3 were embedded in the words of the menu displayed on the screen. 1-2-3 won its case against Mosaic Software. However when they sued Borland over its Quattro Pro spreadsheet in Lotus v. Borland, the courts ruled that it was not a copyright violation to merely have a compatible command menu or language. In 1995, the First Circuit found that command menus are an uncopyrightable "method of operation" under section 102(b) of the Copyright Act. The 1-2-3 menu structure (example, slash File Erase) was itself an advanced version of single letter menus introduced in VisiCalc.
Microsoft's early spreadsheet Multiplan eventually gave way to Excel, which debuted on the Macintosh in 1985. It arrived on PCs with the release of Windows 2.x in 1987, but as Windows was not yet popular, it posed no serious threat to Lotus' stranglehold on spreadsheet sales. However, Lotus suffered technical setbacks in this period. Version 3 of Lotus 1-2-3, fully rewritten from its original macro assembler into the more portable C language, was delayed by more than a year as the totally new 1-2-3 had to be made portable across platforms and fully compatible with existing macro sets and file formats. The inability to fit the larger code size of compiled C into lower-powered machines forced the company to split its spreadsheet offerings, with 1-2-3 release 3 only for higher-end machines, and a new version 2.2, based on the 2.01 assembler code base, available for PCs without extended memory. By the time these versions were released in 1989, Microsoft was well on its way to breaking through Lotus' market share.
During the early 1990s, Windows grew in popularity and along with it Excel, which gradually displaced Lotus from its leading position. A planned total revamp of 1-2-3 for Windows fell apart and all that the company could manage was a Windows adaptation of their existing spreadsheet with no changes except using a graphical interface. Additionally, several versions of 1-2-3 had different features and slightly different interfaces.
1-2-3's intended successor, Lotus Symphony, was Lotus' entry into the anticipated "integrated software" market. It intended to expand the rudimentary all-in-one 1-2-3 into a fully-fledged spreadsheet, graph, database and word processor for DOS, but none of the integrated packages ever really succeeded. 1-2-3 migrated to the Windows platform, as part of Lotus SmartSuite.
IBM's continued development and marketing of Lotus SmartSuite and OS/2 during the 1990s placed it in direct competition with Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows, respectively. As a result, Microsoft "punished the IBM PC Company with higher prices, a late license for Windows 95, and the withholding of technical and marketing support."[13]
IBM wasn't granted OEM rights for Windows 95 until 15 minutes prior to the release of Windows 95, August 24, 1995. Because of this uncertainty, IBM machines were sold without Windows 95, while Compaq, HP, and other companies sold machines with Windows 95 from day one.[14]
On June 11, 2013, IBM announced it would withdraw the Lotus brand: IBM Lotus 123 Millennium Edition V9.x, IBM Lotus SmartSuite 9.x V9.8.0, and Organizer V6.1.0. IBM stated, "Customers will no longer be able to receive support for these offerings after September 30, 2014. No service extensions will be offered. There will be no replacement programs." [15]
The name "1-2-3" stemmed from the product's integration of three main capabilities. Along with being a spreadsheet, it also offered integral charting/graphing and rudimentary database operations.
Data features included sorting data in any defined rectangle, by order of information in one or two columns in the rectangular area. Justifying text in a range into paragraphs allowed it to be used as a primitive word processor.
It had keyboard-driven pop-up menus as well as one-key commands, making it fast to operate. It was also user-friendly, introducing an early instance of context-sensitive help accessed by the F1 key.
Macros in version one and add-ins (introduced in version 2.0) contributed much to 1-2-3's popularity, allowing dozens of outside vendors to sell macro packages and add-ins ranging from dedicated financial worksheets like F9 to full-fledged word processors. In the single-tasking MS-DOS, 1-2-3 was sometimes used as a complete office suite. All major graphics standards were supported; initially CGA and Hercules, and later EGA, AT&T, and VGA. Early versions used the filename extension "WKS".[16] In version 2.0, the extension changed first to "WK1",[17] then "WK2".[18] This later became "WK3" for version 3.0[19] and "WK4" for version 4.0.[20]
Version 2 introduced macros with syntax and commands similar in complexity to an advanced BASIC interpreter, as well as string variable expressions. Later versions supported multiple worksheets and were written in C. The charting/graphing routines were written in Forth by Jeremy Sagan (son of Carl Sagan) and the printing routines by Paul Funk (founder of Funk Software).[citation needed]
There is also a version of 1-2-3 for the HP 200LX, a palmtop released by Hewlett-Packard, a port for Tandy's Deskmate and for Apple's Mac OS in 1991.
A (single) version for Unix System V/386 was also released in June 1990. It was certified for SCO Xenix 2.3 and SCO Unix 3.2.0, but also expected to work on AT&T's plain System V and on ISC's 386/ix.[29]
After previewing 1-2-3 on the IBM PC in 1982, BYTE called it "modestly revolutionary" for elegantly combining spreadsheet, database, and graphing functions. It praised the application's speed and ease of use, stating that with the built-in help screens and tutorial "1-2-3 is one of the few pieces of software that can literally be used by anybody. You can buy 1-2-3 and [an IBM PC] and be running the two together the same day".[30] PC Magazine in 1983 called 1-2-3 "a powerful and impressive program ... as a spreadsheet, it's excellent", and attributed its very fast performance to being written in assembly language.[31]
Release 3.0 is being written in the computer language known as C, to provide easy transportability among PCs, Macs and mainframes.

The SU-100 was a Soviet tank destroyer developed as an up-gunned version of the SU-85 after the 85mm gun used in that vehicle was installed in the T-34-85. Its powerful 100mm gun meant that the SU-100 was capable of dealing with even the most powerful German tanks of the Second World War, and it remained in service for many years after the war.
Two guns were considered for use in the new tank destroyer – the 100mm D-10 and 122mm D-25. Both of these guns took up more space inside the vehicle, and to make space the commander's position was moved to the right and a commander's cupola added. Prototypes were built of both variants. Trials revealed that the 122mm was too powerful, and so the 100mm gun was chosen. The new SU-100 went into production in September 1944.
The majority of the SU-100s were used as part of the equipment of the Guards Mechanised Artillery Brigades, to provide a defence against the Tiger II. Their combat debut came in January 1945 in Poland. Around 1,200 SU-100s were produced during the war, and production continued on into the 1950s, by which time around 6,000 had been produced in the Soviet Union and another 1,400 in Czechoslovakia. The SU-100 remained in service well into the 1960s.

Russian Tanks of World War II, Stalin's Armoured Might, Tim Bean and Will Fowler. A good overview of the development of Soviet Tanks from the early models based on British and American originals to the excellent Russian designed T-34 and the heavy IS tanks. Bean and Fowler also look at the development of Soviet tank doctrine, the impact of Stalin's purges on the tank forces, and their use in combat from the small-scale clashes in the Far East to the apocalyptic fighting on the Eastern Front between 1941-45. A little lacking on precise details of the sub-variants of some of the tanks, but otherwise very good. |

About Me22 years old, new to modeling but excited to build a book! Im currently in my last six months of graduate school. I have a full load of responsibility and take a professional attitude on the job but...Having fun and making people laugh is one of my favorite things to do. I tend to be a clutz so I took up yoga to increase my balance and ability to hold interesting poses. I am looking to build a versatile book accentuating all aspects of me. I was told if I lost 15 lbs I could do runway, unfortunately I love food too much for that I am interested in athletic/dance shoots, sensual (non-nude) shoots, feminine old school shots.
I bring an escort with me to the first shoot, however my escort can wait in another area/room during shooting. CreditsDianne Egrie
