13-yr-old Lucknow girl to address world leaders
New York, September 21 I am going to tell Obama that the policies that they make today are going to affect us and if they act in present then the future was secured for us, Yugratna Srivastava told PTI. We received a very nice planet from our ancestors. It was green, now we have damaged it, polluted it, and were going to give a bad planet to our successors and this was not right, Srivastava, who was also on the youth advisory board of UNEPs youth organisation called Tunza, added. Please listen to the voices of youth and children, and please try your best to solve all the environmental crises that are occurring in our community, would be her message to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh. The ninth class student of St Fidelis College would be addressing more than a 100 world leaders at the General Assembly during the Climate Change Summit convened by the UN Chief Ban Ki-moon. India would be represented by the Foreign Minister SM Krishna and Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh. This summit was being held to mobilise political will ahead of the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December, which is expected to yield a climate treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol. The world leaders had to take into account the opinion of the three billion youths, Srivastava said. They cant exclude us so we were ready to help them and provide full support to them to have a green planet. Commenting on the divide between the developed and developing world on the issue, Srivastava noted, Each country should do its best since environmental problems never differentiate political or geographical boundaries. Whatever protocol they make, it should be an action oriented one and they should enforce them,she added. The UNEP was impressed with Srivastavas performance at a meeting in Daejeon, South Korea, which produced a youth statement on climate change on the road to Copenhagen. She was selected for Tunza after speaking at the high-level event through a competitive process. The young environmentalist said she was proud to represent India. The conservationist recommended that everyone should save water, conserve electricity and plant trees. The world would change only if each individual changes, she puts it simply. On the web, Srivastava tweets urgent messages about saving the planet. While she is anxious about her big speech, the young leader is also glad to miss her exams in school. Im pretty nervous but Im also confident that I have the voice of three billion of the population that would reach them and they would act accordingly, she said. PTI |
Indian student commits suicide in Australia
Melbourne, September 21 Indian Consul-General in Melbourne, Anita Nair said the reason for Singh's death was yet to be confirmed. Crorner report will establish the cause of the death of the student, she said. Singh's relatives have been informed about his death and were coming to take his body back. Commenting on the incident that comes amidst attacks on Indian students, Federation of Indian Students in Australia founder Gautam Gupta said it was an act of desperation. It is said Singh took the extreme step after depressed over not getting a job to fund his studies here. His flat mates are yet to be traced. PTI |
Pak prepares list of 83 high-profile terrorists
Islamabad, September 21 According to a list maintained by the Interior Ministry, 41 of the most wanted terrorists belong to Punjab, 21 to Sindh, 13 to Balochistan and eight to the NWFP. Of the 83 terrorists, Bramdagh Bugti tops the list with 31 first information reports registered against him, reported the Daily Times. The available data shows the majority of the terrorists belong to various sectarian and terrorist organisations, including the Harkatul Jihad Al-Islami, the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) and the Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan (SMP). The majority of the most wanted belong to the LJ and the SMP and are wanted in various high profile cases, including assassination attempts targeting Musharraf, former premier Shaukat Aziz and the Karachi Corps commander; the blasts at the Sheraton hotel and foreign embassies; arms smuggling; target killings of rival groups, doctors, police and intelligence officials and personnel; kidnapping for ransom; and attacks on imambargahs and mosques.
India, Pak foreign secys to meet on Sept 26 Foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India would meet in New York on September 26, followed by foreign minister-level talks the next day on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session. These meetings will pave the way for resumption of the dialogue process between the two countries, Pakistan foreign secretary Salman Bashir said here Monday. He said this would be his first meeting with his Indian counterpart Nirupama
Rao. Bashir, who will leave for New York on September 24, said the meeting would be in accordance with the decisions and joint statement issued following the meeting of prime ministers of the two countries at
Sharm-el-Sheikh. |
Al-Qaida threatens Germany online
Berlin, September 21 The Interior Ministry identified the Qaida messenger in the latest video as Bekkay Harrach (32), a German-Moroccan who also appeared in a separate clip on Friday warning Germany faced a rude awakening if it did not end its war in Afghanistan. The television footage showed Harrach wearing a mask in the latest video. He was clean shaven and wearing a suit and tie in the previous recording in which he directly addressed German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying that attacks could follow Germanys federal election on September 27. In a democracy, only the people can order its soldiers home, Harrach said in German in the first video. If the German people decides for a continuation of the war, then it has passed judgement upon itself and showed the whole world that in a democracy civilians are not innocent after all. Germany stepped up security at airports and train stations this weekend. Of the five parties in Germanys Bundestag lower house of parliament, only the far-left Linke or Left Party is calling for an immediate troop pull-out from Afghanistan. Domestic pressure on Germany to rethink its mission grew this month following a NATO air strike called in by German forces which left scores of people dead. Reuters |
Juba (Sudan), September 21 There is a total of 76 killed and 46 injured. This includes a total of 22 soldiers (dead): 11 of them are from the SPLA, the other 11 are from security forces, said Major General Kuol Diem Kuol of the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA). This is not a raid for cattle but a militia attack against security forces, he told AFP. Tribesmen from the Lou Nuer ethnic group raided the Dinka Hol village of Duk Padiet yesterday morning, forcing a company of soldiers based there to flee. AFP |
Toddler survives being run over by train
Tokyo, September 21 The driver spotted the girl standing on the tracks in Suzaka City, northwest of Tokyo, and applied its emergency brakes, the local police said. The train stopped with the girl beneath, it said. She was alive and trapped in the 50-centimetre gap between the train and the tracks, rescuers said. It could have been a tragedy. It's a miracle that she survived this way, a rescue worker told the TV Asahi network.
Germany wins in WW II re-enactment
Wellington, September 21 According to spokesman Brian Johns the battle was one of the best they had ever put on. Everyone is saying that, just because it was really well choreographed and there was a lot happening, he said. Although, the re-enactment was a representation of the German retreat through France after the Normandy landings during World War II, but on this occasion, the Germans won. We tend to bounce that one around a bit. Last time, it was the Allies who won. Johns said the battle scenario involved a German command centre, which was taken over by an Allied contingent only to be outflanked again by a German infantry unit. There were even explosions happening in barrels representing mortar attacks, which the Allies often used. The spectators seemed to be enjoying the battle. They always do, we spent the rest of the afternoon answering questions people had. We even had an old World War II vet come up with his son to say how much he enjoyed it. That was great, Johns said.

No feeling Good, not feeling Bad; it just smacking of indifference which I cannot abide. Displeasure sounds through my words with dissonance
Lo do I regret a grieve without rhyme or cause, Simply a simnering rage at old age Inciting sorrow at lost youthful craze Lacking even pulpit or ridulous stage. All the delights missed by worthless charge All the lost Joys of later elder cage, Because of cargo not loaded on youner barge Can Anyone remember the idealistic garbage? We define the emptiness of advanced years By the lack of Produce of youthful deceit; The Dollars earned and Jobs complete Now unrecounted, leaving only the fears.

World EXPO 2010 in Shanghai: Interview with Mr. Singh, Director UNESCO Beijing
UNESCO's projects and achievements in the fields of Education, Culture and Science were showcased in the UN pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China, during a 'UNESCO week' in May. On this occasion, Mr. Singh was interviewed by Dieter Schlenker, UNESCO Bangkok, about the relation of the Expo theme: "Building Sustainable, Inclusive and Creative Cities" and UNESCO's programme activities, the UNESCO week during the Expo and the visit of the Director General of UNESCO, Ms Irina Bokova.

What continues to surprise me is how few people–since that morning in the Mayflower Hotel–have read "A Towering Task." It was the first draft of defining the Peace Corps; it was the bible of the Peace Corps. When I asked Warren Wiggins about this, he commented wryly, "It's marvelous that nobody has read it because, you see, in most ways I didn't know what the hell I was talking about. In some ways I was dead on, but I did recommend that we ship air-conditioned trailers to the Philippines to house the Volunteers. It's a far cry from the theology of the Peace Corps that evolved, but then, those were the early days."
    What is clear now from the safety of time and distance is that being anti-establishment, amateurish, anti-professional was the reason for the success of the Peace Corps. This attitude permeated the whole organization and PCVs overseas expressed the same sort of sentiments, especially to the official U.S. government, all those "stuff shirt diplomats." PCVs were all anti-establishment. That was our charm and also, admittedly, the reason for many of our failings.
    Also, and this is important, the Mayflower Gang was driven by values, and those values, as expressed by Wiggins, were central to the 'idea' of what it meant to be a Peace Corps Volunteer.
    The values were simple: The Volunteers would live the life of the villager, wear the same kind of clothes, eat the same food, live in the same kind of house. In a religious sense, they were taking a vow of poverty. To Americans, in the early '60s, it appeared that PCVs were living in poverty. "We raised that to an ideal," said Wiggins."The vow of poverty was raised to an ideal. And that turned out to be an enormous strength for the Peace Corps."
    The Peace Corps stripped away the cultural and environmental support a Volunteer had grown up with: family, school, peer groups, rewards and success. The PCV was transplanted overseas with poverty as a value. The Volunteer went alone. They went to a strange land, without the supports and material blessings that had accompanied them all of their lives. And that then produced introspective changes.
    This new life as a Peace Corps Volunteer made them think about who they were and what they represent and what their ideals were. It produced a self-assessment. Who am I? The materialistic life was missing, and losing the normal supports meant these these Volunteers came back to America knowing a hell of a lot more about themselves. They had to leave a large part of their prior identity behind for two years and concentrate on living a poor life. No one realized it at first, but it changed many Volunteers. It was a benefit that wasn't obvious at first, though Kennedy had told Harris Wofford he wanted 100,000 a year overseas so that when they came home again they would vote more "intelligently" about foreign aid. That was the value JFK was looking for in the Peace Corps.
    When I asked Warren how it all happened, how did the Peace Corps really come about, he paused for a moment and then summed up, "We caught the tenor of the times. The Peace Corps epitomized the New Frontier, Kennedy, and the mood of the country following the Eisenhower years. We caught the wind that was blowing across America. And those of us who were there were lucky to be part of that wonderful moment in our history.It couldn't be done today."

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Slot machines are now ringing at the boutique hotel replacing Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Cromwell celebrated its soft opening Monday evening by welcoming guests into a 40,000-square-foot casino featuring 434 slot machines and 66 table games.
The hotel's 188 rooms and suites are not accepting guests until May 21, but the gambling area, the Interlude cocktail lounge and the Curios retail shop are open for business.
Caesars Entertainment spent $185 million to transform the Old West-style Bill's casino into The Cromwell, adding hardwood floors, black and white tile shower walls, and plush seating to the hotel rooms.
The Cromwell will also include a restaurant by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, a rooftop pool and Drai's day and nightclubs.

Digital Access, Political Networks and the Diffusion of DemocracyLauren RhueNew York University (NYU) - Department of Information, Operations, and Management Sciences Arun SundararajanNew York University (NYU): Stern School of Business and Center for Urban Science+Progress September 1, 2012 Social Networks, Forthcoming NYU Working Paper No. CEDER-11-03 Abstract: We examine the effects of digital access on the prevalence of democracy and its diffusion via trade, geographical and migration networks across 189 countries between 2000 and 2010. We find that different digital technologies may have varying impacts on freedom while affecting its diffusion via different political networks, and that related changes in civil liberties can be affected by both media freedom and internal political institutions. Our analysis suggests three key mechanisms linking information technology with democratic change and highlights the importance of a country's "susceptibility" to political influence that is triggered by greater digitally-induced visibility.

Heads-Up On Health Care
The rest of today promises to be big for health care reform. At 5:00 p.m., Sen. Harry Reid plans to explain the Senate's merged health care bill to his Democratic colleagues at a caucus meeting. The bill will probably be unveiled to the public later in the evening, and the crucial Congressional Budget Office "score" of the bill—estimating its costs and benefits—is expected sometime today, too.
TPM's Brian Beutler reports that Reid may adhere to the 72-hour rule for public comment on legislation before trying to pass a motion to proceed with debate—something that requires 60 votes and will be the first big test for the Senate bill. Beutler also reminds readers that a Republican stunt calling for reading the entire bill aloud is likely to delay actual debate until after senators return from next week's Thanksgiving recess.
You can expect all sorts of ludicrous comments, misinformation, and silliness about the Senate bill all over cable television, the internet, and the print media starting, well, just about now.

Hunters on jury
There have always been too many games played in the selection of jurors. In this cas e in my county the jury will now include hunters as I think it should.I don't think hunters on the jury automatically will make it easy for the defendant. Some hunters are angry when an irresponsible hunter does damage to other hunters.

The jury should include the hunters as peers, no doubt, assuming they aren't disqualified for other reasons.
I didn't follow why the judge ruled a mistrial AFTER the prosecution had presented arguments. Do you have insight into why the mistrial was called. It seems that if it would have been for reasons of the jury selection, it would have occurred at the beginning of the trial.

I have not seen enough from the article to indicate who is guilty of what. I have the same question why did the Judge wait so long to declare a mistrial He was present for jury selection and questioning wasn't he?
According to the article neither of the parties requested a mistrial. The judge called for it. If he felt the defendent's attorney was playing shennanigans with the jury why not do it during the impaneling of the jurors?

Not that the jury should not include hunters, but our Constitution does NOT guarantee anyone a right to a trial by a jury "of his peers." England has peers. The United States has people. The 6th Amendment states: Quote:
It's also interesting that it was the defense who didn't want hunters on the jury. My guess is that she didn't want anybody on the jury who might harbor strong feelings about hunters who accidentally wander onto other hunters' turf. Last edited by Aguila Blanca; August 27, 2010 at 08:08 PM. |

While not specifically stated as such, the people of the State and district where the crime was committed are the peer referred to in jury of your peers.
This makes the assumption that the people who live where you do are of roughly like circumstances and moral outlook. The "peers" of England are a specific social class (Peer of the Realm), and are not the common folk of a state or district. There are seveal definitions of peer, and the one our legal system uses is that of someone from the same area, not that of an exact (or even a close) social and philosophical equal.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better. |

A colleague of mine, a PhD in biology, was called for jury duty. It was a case about pollution. One lawyer asked him if he would go only by the evidence presented to him and not use his expertise or discuss that in the jury room.
He said - NO - and guess what - buh, bye! By the way, don't assume hunters will be on a gun person's side. One study found that hunters were negative on assault weapons as compared to nonhunting folks. The old black gun, sport debate.

The judge is an idiot. Batson challenges only apply when jurors are struck because of purposeful discrimination against a member of one of the traditionally protected classes such as race and sex. Hunters are not a protected class.
There is also no constitutional right to a jury of one's peers. That cannot be found in the Constitution. There is only a right to a jury that is impartial and from the vicinity where the crime occurred. From the 6th Amendment itself: Quote:
Jim's Rules of Carry: 1. Any gun is better than no gun. 2. A gun that is reliable is better than a gun that is not. 3. A hole in the right place is better than a hole in the wrong place. 4. A bigger hole is a better hole. no guns = might makes right |

Mr. Wizard's
Experiments In Electronics
(Feb. 2011) I recently completed my second kick press project. I bought a vintage table and mounted my hand press to it, then constructed the foot pedal with the necessary leverage to amplify the force of the hand press from 10:1 to 18:1. This new kick press delivers 650lbs of force to the die with just 36lbs of pressure on the pedal, and all completely hands free.
I then wanted to make this kick press more than just a grommet press, so I designed a series of practical die sets for other press operations that I do frequently. I contacted my good friend Bud Mohrman at TAPE Inc. to make the dies for me, and fortunately he is one of the last hard core machinists that can cut dies directly from high strength tool steel. I made some initial sketches
from my mental images to better visualize the manufacturing tolerances
for these dies.....
I then made a series of mechanical drawings that contained my calculations for tolerance and proper contouring, finish, and measurements for each die. Mechanical drafting is a specific language which communicates the design concept in a way that another person can manufacture the part to exact proportions and have the parts interact with proper tolerances. The Machinist will not make judgment calls, it is up to the designer to be very clear on all parameters. If the designer makes a mistake or miscalculation then the part will either not fit, or not function as needed. These drawings were made with a requested manufacturing tolerance of ±.005 inches. No computers here, I do everything in pencil on paper at my drafting table....
The results were very good, and Bud did a magnificent job. There were a few small tweaks, and the dies work great, as expected. Here are the actual dies....
(Nov. 2010) Like most of my generation, BASIC was the first high level programming language that I was exposed to. My first experiences with a computer were on the Tandy TRS-80 back in 1979. I then got pretty good with Commodore BASIC on the C-64 in the early 80s, and then with the somewhat more advanced Apple II-e in 1983. The Commodore could be unstable, and it often conked out from overheating in the summer, obliterating possibly hours of keystrokes. So if you knew what was good for you a constant back up to tape was part of the lifestyle (cassette was standard). Despite that, the C-64 still had a lot more in the way of fun than the Apple because of its Sprites and the SID analog synthesizer chip that 8-bit fanciers still love to sample to this day. The C-64 allowed for some sharp honing of a programmers code crunching chops too. Due to its line structures and icon based short key codes you could pack in some pretty efficient code (and you really had to) with up to 80 characters per code line, and the control ports with peek and poke commands allowed the C-64 to control and monitor any peripheral TTL or CMOS device you might want to design also, and that was pretty powerfully cool for an electronics designers shop in 1984. True, if I would have had the means I would have gotten the Heathkit computer system kit with the home robot in 1982 and built it all myself, but I digress. When I got to college in 1985 they were still using an IBM mainframe that ran Fortran 77 and COBOL. The punch card readers were still plugged in, but fortunately I entered in the terminal era. Most geeks know about COBOLs threat and Y2K, but why Fortran faded away is harder to judge. Fortran was short for Formula Translating, and it was one of the first high level programming languages developed by IBM in the 1950s. It was a very popular workhorse for processing numerical data for decades. I do hear that there are hangers on that still update and use modern versions of the old Fortran, and a brief search showed that despite the prevalence of many other languages that Fortran is still used for supercomputing and number crunching applications today. It makes an old dinosaur like myself feel just a little younger knowing that good old formula translating is still going strong, silently, cranking inside a mainframe somewhere. |
Vacuum Tube Tester Machine Project (July 2006) Now the story can be told....
Below is a detail of the
docking port for the tray. Note the hand machined cool lever handles
I originally began the Model A project in late 1999 in preparation for the 2000 New York Noise HiFi builders show. It is an original all tube design, with tube rectifiers, regulators, indicators, and amplifiers in a dual parallel configuration and single toroid power transformer. It has twin 300B triode fixed bias finals and a tube bias supply with dual 6SN7 drivers in a classic configuration. Output is 7 watts per cannel. The dual 6HU6 CRT peak level indicators are out in front which are powered by their own tube regulated 210VDC supply. The chassis and all physical components are entirely hand made from raw stock aluminum by myself. I built the amp over a three month period on my kitchen table in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I even hand made the single stereo attenuator using a dual gang 48 position continuous coin silver rotary make-before-break switch with 96 wire-wound precision resistors in a logarithmic curve. All of the power supply components are in the top of the chassis and all of the audio components are in the bottom. The two output transformers are set one in each side pedestal and there is forced air cooling throughout. The 'Model A' also runs through a set of high efficiency crossover MTM style speakers that I constructed later in the fall of 2000. It sounds like the voice of God, if there was a God and they had a voice. It is also very, very heavy. I never entered it in the
show, but that is a different story.
Constructing the chassis of the Model A, January 2000. On the left the output transformer is visible as the main components are being installed. Note the stove - Yes, I really did build it on my kitchen table! When you live in Brooklyn space is relative. The finished chassis and
stereo attenuator.
Another video of the Model
A in action, also showing the real time bias meter. The bias meter
is made of stacked comparators and calibrated to a fixed internal reference
voltage, and it measures the current output of each 300B output tube by
sensing the voltage drop across a 50ohm power resistor on each cathode,
which you can see on the schematic as the T1 and T2 points. The scale
of the meter is set so that the lowest green indicates 65ma, the yellow
80ma, and red is over the top.

A amp design and power supplies:

Is there any way to make the 9630 Desktop Headset work just as a SIP IP telephone, without the extensive need for additional Avaya equipment. All of our infrastructure is Cisco and we may receive about 80 Avaya deivces and I am wondering if they would work just as an IP telephone, without any additional hardware from Avaya or messing with the configuration of the Cisco devices.

And, of course, yeeeyyyyy!!!
Looking forward to the next 5SP
Congrats to the winner. I thought that failing sperm will take the gold for sure. well….some other time i guess
Only three out of 5 of the honorable mentions are loading in my browser (Chrome) I'm missing the 1st and 5th. Congrats to the winner!
I thought "Too Late" would win too. Really slick
buenos trabajos the gorilla . un saludo desde México, tus tutoriales me han ayudado. un abraso ciao
