MANILA, Philippines—Church officials are set to welcome the newly appointed Papal Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Guiseppe Pinto, on Friday, according to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, CBCP president Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchimar and other bishops will be meeting the papal envoy at the airport on Friday, according to Msgr. Juanito Figura, the CBCP secretary general.
Pinto, who is Italian, will be the 15th papal representative to the Philippines and the 10th apostolic nuncio, said Figura.
Papal or apostolic nuncio is the official title of the permanent diplomatic representative and head of the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to a state or international organization, and has the rank of an ambassador like those from any other country.
The papal nuncio enjoys seniority of precedence over other ambassadors in the Philippines, which grants the pope's representative the deanship of the country's diplomatic corps.
Pinto was appointed last May by Pope Benedict XVI to succeed Archbishop Edward Joseph Adams, who has been reassigned to Greece. He was previously assigned to Chile.
In addition to his diplomatic duties, the nuncio serves as the liaison between the Holy See and the Roman Catholic diocesan episcopate in the country.
The CBCP News, the official news service of the Church hierarchy, said on Thursday that Pinto's arrival would come at a time when the local Church was accused of impropriety in accepting vehicles from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office during the Arroyo administration.
Pinto holds a doctorate in canon law and is fluent in Italian, French, English and Spanish.
He joined the diplomatic service on May 1, 1984. He was previously assigned to Papua New Guinea, Argentina and the Vatican City state secretariat.
He also served as apostolic nuncio to Cape Verde, Senegal, Mali and Guinea-Bissau, and was apostolic delegate to Mauritiana.

What do you think is better?...
Alright... it seems I have hit my CPU's limit of 334 on the FSB without having to go above 1.4v on the core. Im pretty comfortable with that OC and really have no need to stress it anymore than that. With this in mind I am asking about my memory speed and timings. Currently my PC6400 (800Mhz) ram is running at 1001.6Mhz with timings of 5-5-5-15 @ 2T. As you can see the ratio my motherboard picked for me was FSB 2:3. What I am wondering is would I gain or lose performance by taking the ratio down to either 1:1 or 4:5 (533 / 667 respectivly) and using tigher timings. Worth noting is that this ram can take up to 2.4v and still be under warranty (and I have yet to move it from its defualt voltage of 2.2v) so I think the high speed its running at now is probably safe. I just wanted some other opinions. Current CPU-Z is posted below :)
Re: What do you think is better?...
Higher frequency with higher timings will be about the same as lower frequency with tighter timings.
For example.
800mhz 3-3-3 will be about the same as
1100mhz 5-5-5
Re: What do you think is better?...
As long as I don't mess with the voltage on the ram... will the temperatures be about the same on both settings? In other words.... as long as its passing Prime95 without errors should it remain stable or will the stability of my ram go down over time at the high speeds?
Re: What do you think is better?...
stevemedes is right. I would rather run 4-4-4-12 and try and get as far as I can with it then go to 5-5-5-15 any day. I think you also need orthos this will run both cores at once then to run 2 instances of prime95, if you can run orthos for at least 8 hours with no errors your in pretty good shape.

Innsbruck to Zurich: how to use Swiss Flexipass & Austria tix
I'll be traveling from Innsbruck to the Berner Oberland, after spending a week in Austria. I've already bought a Swiss Flexipass, to save on my travel, etc. in Switzerland. Can anyone tell me how to buy a train ticket, then, from Innsbruck to Zurich, where I'll make a transfer onto the Berner Oberland? Do I need only buy a ticket from Innsbruck to Buchs and then the Swiss Flexipass kicks in? It's a little perplexing. Any insights would be great!

Elmo and Sam Kass hang in The White House kitchen
Sam Kass shows Elmo the types of foods schools should have now that the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act has been signed.
Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 03:52 PM
Sesame Street's Elmo visited White House assistant chef Sam Kass in the White House kitchen to talk about what types of foods Elmo can expect since he'll be going to school soon. The video is really a plug for the recently signed Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, and it showcases what the new lunches should look like once everything is in place.
I'm really looking forward to the day when the lunches at my boys' schools actually look like this. Until then, I'll keep packing their lunches at home the majority of the time.

Re: sailcloth: laminated or woven?
Kevlar, like most other fibers, will snap when folded to too small a radius. Which is why synthetic lines will be rated for a minimum size sheive or turning block. Same thing.
So every time you fold a Kevlar sail, you're snapping some fibers in it. Which is a good thing if you're a sailmaker and can easily replace it, and make more sails by encouraging the practice. And as a practical matter that may be necessary in order to store the damned thing, and not make any difference to the first owner if you're going to replace it in a year or two anyhow.
But when you fold it, you do break fibers. The only question is how much, how quickly, and whether it matters to the owner.

Just came back from a Girl's Only trip to "the land"! Here's the first day of our trip report. Enjoy! More to come....
Girls Only trip 6/23 to 6/28Roll Call: DrAlice (last trip -10/08) & Ducky4Donald (last trip - 7/07)
Day 1 (Wednesday, 6/23):
·Drive, drive, get stuck in traffic, drive some more (took us 9+ hours from the Sacramento area!!!)
·Check in at Best Western Stovalls on Katella
·Throw stuff in the room and go to the parks!!!
Todays fun is at Disneyland!
Heres what we did·Reservations for early dinner at Café Orleans- had the chicken sandwich and garlic fries yummy, but overpriced -even for Disney
·Rides/Attractions (in order of my memory, ha!):
oCastle Walk-through first time for both of us Loved it! Glad it is back!
oMad Tea Party spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, then lean back!!
oIts a small world (first time to see the changes) Overall, we liked the additions. We thought that most of the characters were done well and fit in with the style of the other dolls or the scene that they were in. However, Ducky4Donald HATED the Donald Duck addition to the Latin America room. She didnt think it fit at all (we suspect she is really just having flashbacks from the Mexico ride at EPCOT that she didnt like). Also, we both thought that the US room was lacking. The dolls on the left side dont move at all, and we thought that just made it too static compared to everything else. Finally, I thought the Woody and Jessie dolls looked a little weird (well, creepy, actually haha). Despite those things, overall we give it a thumbs up.
oHaunted Mansion Madam Leota was floating and the hidden mickey in the party room was present!
oPirates of the Caribbean - the crab was present and pinching!
oDisneyland Railroad
oBuzz Lightyears Astro Blasters I won!
oInnoventions (Ducky4Donalds first visit since the "dream house" addition) We enjoyed watching the Peter Pan storytelling, and the addition of the "design your future" questionnaire from EPCOT cracked us up, but we didn't stay long. Digital photo frames are nice and all, but there are rides to ride and ice cream to be eaten!
Below are some details from Innoventions that cracked us up..
·Fantasmic! - (First viewing since the changes) Loved it! As far as we could tell, everything seemed to work and looked great!
oThank you, thank you, thank you to the group of off-duty cast
members that let us sit with them in their favorite spot!! We had a
great view of the show!! You rock!!
We had a great time on Wednesday, despite being fairly exhausted from the drive down. We managed to stay until midnight and then dragged our tired butts back to the hotel to rest for the next day.
A note on Stovall's: Our room was on the Coco's side of the hotel and directly faced the door to the kitchen. This doesn't seem like a bad thing until you are awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of Coco's employees dragging the dumpster around and throwing garbage into it. Our recommendation: bring earplugs!!! Oh, and don't forget to turn your A/C on - we came back to a very hot room. Oopsie.
Tune in tomorrow for a report of our World of Color adventures.... Same bat time, same bat channel... yadda yadda...

A new family of current mode logic (CML) gates (14) which, in one embodiment includes OR/NOR and AND/NAND gates, as well as more complex logic functions. The circuit uses a complementary signal to drive the gate of a feedback transistor (19) which has the effect of pseudo differential operation. Although it uses only single-ended inputs (A, B), because of this feedback aspect, the circuit has many of the advantages of a differential circuit such as low-voltage operation, higher immunity to noise, and less sensitivity to parasitic elements.
1. A prescaler circuit, comprising:
an input buffer coupling input signals to clock and inverted clock signal inputs of first, second and third flip-flops;
a first input of said first flip-flop coupled to a first output of said second flip-flop;
a second input of said first flip-flop coupled to a first output of said third flip-flop;
a first output of said first flip-flop coupled to a first input of said second flip-flop and to a first clock input of a fourth flip-flop;
a second output of said first flip-flop coupled to a second input of said second flip-flop and to a second clock input of said fourth flip-flop;
a second output of said second flip-flop coupled to a first input of said third flip-flop;
a first output of said fourth flip-flop coupled to a second input of said third flip-flop and to a first clock input of a fifth flip-flop;
a second output of said fourth flip-flop coupled to a second clock input of said fifth flip-flop;
a third input of said third flip-flop coupled to the output of a logic gate;
a first input of said logic gate coupled to receive a select signal;
a first output of said fifth flip-flop coupled to a first clock input of a sixth flip-flop and to a second input of said logic gate;
a second output of said fifth flip-flop coupled to a second clock input of said sixth flip-flop;
a third input of said logic gate coupled to a first output of said sixth flip-flop.
2. The prescaler circuit of claim 1, further comprising an input buffer coupling said first and second inputs to said first and second clock inputs of said first, second and third flip-flops.
3. The prescaler circuit of claim 1, wherein said first clock input is a non-inverted clock input and said second clock input is an inverted clock input.
4. The prescaler circuit of claim 1, wherein:
said first output of said first flip-flop is a non inverted output and said second out put is an inverted output;
said first output of said second flip-flop is an inverted output and said second output is a non-inverted output; and
said first output of said third flip-flop is an inverted output and said second output is a non-inverted output,
said first output of said fourth flip-flop is an inverted output and said second output is a non-inverted output,
said first output of said fifth flip-flop is an inverted output and said second output is a non-inverted output,
said first output of said sixth flip-flop is an inverted output and said second output is a non-inverted output.
This divisional claims priority under 35 U.S.C. �119(e)(1) of application Ser. No. 09/114,780, filed Jul. 13, 1998, on entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This patent relates to current-mode logic (CML) circuitry and more specifically to a new low-voltage, high-speed gate family consisting of both OR/NOR and AND/NAND logic functions, as well as other more complex functions. These logic gates are needed in many high speed applications where operation in the GHz range is required, such as in products which address the rapidly growing wireless and portable markets.
Brief Description of the Prior Art
Current mode logic (CML) or emitter coupled logic (ECL) circuits are commonly used in high speed applications operating in the GHz frequency range. In these circuits, to reduce the storage time, caused by the presence of minority carriers, the transistors are usually not allowed to operate in hard saturation. Storage time, which is the time before an on transistor starts to turn off, tends to decrease the speed of the circuit. In CML circuits a constant current is maintained in the emitter legs of the transistors with current switching from one transistor leg to another depending on the states of the input signals.
FIG. 1 (prior art) shows one version of a conventional OR/NOR gate implemented in MOS CML. The circuit is made up of stacked transistors pairs 3-4 and 5-6 which allows for differential inputs A/{overscore (A)} and B/{overscore (B)} to be applied, respectively. Current source 7 maintains a constant current I through the legs of the circuit at all times. There are three paths, one of which will always be enabled, for current to flow through the circuit, as follows: a) through resistor 1 and transistors 3 and 5, b) through resistor 1 and transistor 6, and c) through resistor 2 and transistors 4 and 5. In the circuit, the signals at A/{overscore (A)} have to operate with a DC voltage shift relative to the signals at B/{overscore (B)}. For very low VDD voltages there is limited headroom available for this voltage shift in order to maintain proper drain-to-source voltage, Vds, across the transistors and this usually limits the number of complementary inputs to two. One way to accomplish this voltage shift is with the use of source followers but these add complexity and tend to slow down the circuit. This circuit provides both OR (A+B) and it's complementary NOR ({overscore (A+B)}) outputs. A truth table for the circuit is included below.
Here the difference between a logic 0 and logic 1 is small, on the order of 400 to 800 mVolts. Some drawbacks of the circuit include:
1. Not suitable for ultra-low voltage operation of <1.2 volts due to the circuit's limited headroom for Vds across the stacked transistors pairs.
2. Limited to two inputs, A/{overscore (A)} and B/{overscore (B)}.
3. Signals B and {overscore (B)} have to be DC shifted compared to signals A and {overscore (A)}.
Although this gate is inherently fast, the required level shifting circuitry, not shown, tends to slow the overall operation of the circuit.
FIG. 2 (prior art) shows another commonly used CML circuit which overcomes the problems of the circuit in FIG. 1, but as will be discussed, has its own set of problems. Singled-ended input signals A and B are inserted at the gates of transistors 10 and 11. Resistor 8 connects the drains of transistors 10 and 11 to VDD to provide a path for current to flow into current source 13 when either or both of these inputs are high (logic level 1). This circuit is not limited to two inputs, although only two are shown, and overcomes the DC level shifting problem of the previous circuit by operating all the transistors at the same voltage level. In addition, transistor 12 and resistor 9 are used to provide another path for current I to flow into current source 13 when both of the input transistors 10 and 11 are OFF. The Vref input is a DC level which biases transistor 12 at the mid-point of the A and B input signal's voltage swing. If both A and B inputs are low (logic level 0), all the current I will flow through Vref transistor 12. Then as inputs A and/or B turn on (logic level 1) current will switch and flow through transistors 10 and/or 11. As with the previous circuit, both OR (A+B ) and it's complementary NOR ({overscore (A+B)}) outputs are generated. Although this circuit does overcome the problems of the previous circuit, it has its own drawbacks, as follows:
1. A reference voltage at mid-signal is required.
2. The circuit only allows single-ended inputs which usually implies larger input swings. This in turn can increase the voltage supply size and reduces the circuit speed. An alternative sometimes used is to keep the input swing constant and increase the size of the MOS transistors, but this also negatively impacts the circuit speed.
3. Less immunity to noise due to single-ended operation.
4. Circuit delay is more sensitive to the parasitic elements at node N1 since the node has more movement with Vref remaining constant while the inputs A and B move.
There is a rapidly growing need in the wireless and portable markets, as well as other markets, for ultra low-power/low-voltage circuitry. High-speed logic circuits operating in the GHz range are more and more in demand. Emitter coupled logic (ECL) circuits represent one family that has been extensively used in wireless applications such as the phase lock loop (PLL) in prescalers and optical communication systems. And more recently CMOS current mode logic is becoming prevalent in the GHz domain.
This invention describes a new family of current mode logic (CML) gates which includes OR/NOR, AND/NAND gates, and other more complex functions, all of which use a complementary feedback signal to drive the gate of the Vref transistor 12 (FIG. 2) rather than a DC voltage often found in more conventional CML gate circuits. As a result of this feedback, the circuit operates in a pseudo differential manner although it uses only single-ended inputs. Because of this feedback aspect, the circuit has been called feedback current mode logic circuit or FCML. This circuit has both the advantages of the circuit of FIG. 2 and overcomes its drawbacks. The circuit switches current, controlled by a constant current source, between the input transistors and the complementary controlled transistor and can be configured with multiple inputs by adding additional transistors in parallel.
The new CML gate family described in this patent can be applied to CMOS, bipolar, BiCMOS, and other technologies today and will be adaptable to future technologies as well. As mentioned earlier, this family of gates eliminates several of the problems associated with conventional circuits of this type and offers its own advantages, as follows:
1. Suitable for low and ultra-low voltage operation.
2. Operates in a pseudo-differential manner.
3. Speed is less sensitive to parasitic elements associated with the circuit at the common source in a typical CMOS implementation.
4. Does not require a reference voltage needed in the conventional circuit of FIG. 2.
5. Has good noise margins.

FIG. 8e is a block diagram for a typical cellular phone showing the phase-lock-loop function.
FIG. 3 shows the schematic for the current mode logic gate 14, according to the invention, which overcomes most of the problems discussed in the prior art. On the input side, the basic circuit is comprised of resistor 15 and transistors 17 and 18. Additional inputs, indicating by shadowed transistor 21 at input C, can be provided by adding additional transistors in parallel with transistors 17 and 18. Resistor 16 and transistor 19 provide a path for current to flow when both inputs A and B (all inputs) are inhibited. The sources of all the transistors 17-19 and 21 are tied together and connected to a constant current source 20. In the schematic the power supply voltages are shown as VDD and Vss. In this circuit, VDD may be quite small, for example 1.8 volts or less while the input voltage swings will typically range from 400 to 800 mVolts. VSS is commonly operated at ground potential. The current paths in the circuit are clearly seen to be through a) resistor 15, transistor 17, and current source 20 and/or b) resistor 15, transistor 18, and current source 20 or c) resistor 16, transistor 19, and current source 20. Again, resistor 16 and transistor 19 provide a path for current to flow when both input signals, A and B, are low (0 state). At the very center of this invention is the way the gate of transistor 19 is controlled by tying it to the common drain connection of transistors 17 and 18. This feedback connection overcomes the problems associated with the DC reference voltage of conventional CML circuits. Because of this feedback, the circuit operates in a pseudo differential mode which means that there is only a small movement at node N2; i.e., N2 remains fairly stable since the source of feedback transistor 19 moves complementary to that of input transistors 17 and 18. Also, there is some hysterisis present in the circuit which should provide improved noise margins. Due to the feedback aspect of the circuit, it has been suggested that the circuit be called FCML. The circuit provides complementary outputs O and {overscore (O)}, as shown. Operation of the circuit is as follows, assume that initially both inputs, A and B, are low (0) and transistors 17 and 18 are off such that {overscore (O)} is high (1). In this initial condition, the feedback in the circuit causes transistor 19 to turn on and as a result O is low (0). Now, when one or both of the inputs, A and/or B, goes high (1), transistor 17 and/or 18 will start to turn on and due to the complementary feedback, as the gate voltage of transistor 19 decreases, transistor 19 starts to turn off and O increases. At the end of this transient state when the circuit reaches steady state, outputs O and {overscore (O)} will be high (1) and low (0), respectively. The complementary nature of the circuit provides both the OR and NOR functions at outputs O and O. In the circuit, output O represents the OR function A+B and {overscore (O)} represents the NOR function {overscore (A+B)}. A truth table indicating the circuit's output states for the four possible input conditions is shown below.
At first consideration, it would appear that this circuit is slower than the conventional circuit of FIG. 1, due to the feedback circuitry. However, once source followers are added to the circuit of FIG. 1 to provide the DC level shift at inputs A/{overscore (A)} and B/{overscore (B)}, the speed of the two circuits are comparable and the power dissipation for the FCML of this invention is favorable.
The FCML gate can be implemented using any number of technologies. FIG. 4 shows the same OR/NOR FCML circuit 14 implemented with bipolar technology. As shown, the resistors 22-23, transistors 24-26, and current source 27 match those of the MOS version discussed above, with the exception that now transistors 24-26 are bipolar transistors.
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the invention for an AND/NAND circuit which is the same circuit 14 as shown in FIG. 3, but with the inputs now being {overscore (A)} and {overscore (B)}. Therefore, all that is necessary to generate the AND/NAND function is to provide the complements {overscore (A)} and {overscore (B)} at the inputs to the circuit, as shown in FIG. 5. As in the earlier OR/NOR circuit, additional inputs can be included. The logic functions at the O and {overscore (O)} outputs then become {overscore (A)}+{overscore (B)} and {double overscore (A)}{overscore (+)}{double overscore (B)}, respectively. Using De Morgan's Law, it is seen that outputs O and {overscore (O)} are {overscore (A�B)} and A�B, the NAND and AND functions, respectively. A truth table for this circuit is shown below.
Likewise, other more complex logic functions can be applied to the circuit. For example, assume that the circuit is configured for three inputs, say A, {overscore (B)}, and {overscore (C)}, then the Boolean expressions at outputs O and {overscore (O)} become A+{overscore (B)}+{overscore (C)}={double overscore (A)}{overscore (�B�C)} and {overscore (A+)}{double overscore (B)}{overscore (+)}{double overscore (C)}={overscore (A)}�B�C, respectively.
The truth table for this conditions is as follows.
FIG. 6 shows simulation results for the DC characteristics of the OR/NOR FCML gate. In this example, VDD is 1.8 volts, VSS is ground, and the current source has 0.1 mA flowing through it. Only one input, a DC level, is used in this simulation. As shown in the data, the outputs O and {overscore (O)} have a swing of approximately 0.4 volts from 1.4 to 1.8 volts. The output transition crossover point occurs at mid-range, 1.6 volts, of the required input voltage swing.
FIG. 7 shows simulation results of the transient response for the same circuit discussed in FIG. 6. In this case, input A is low (0) and input B uses a pulse generator with amplitude varying from 1.4 to 1.8 volts. The rise and fall times for the two outputs, O and {overscore (O)}, are shown. The abscissa represents time in nSeconds.
This family of gates is expected to find very broad usage. One example is in the phase-lock-loop (PLL) circuit of a cellular phone where multiple input gates operating in the GHz range are merged with other conventional circuit functions. FIGS. 8a- 8 e show an example of this application with the gates used as both D-type flip-flops and OR gate functions in a PLL prescaler circuit.
FIG. 8a is the schematic diagram of a D-type flip-flop 28 used in the prescaler function of a cellular phone. The input to this flip-flop consists of a 3-input FCML gate 14 merged with other functions in the flip-flop circuit. This identical 3-input flip-flop circuit 28, as well as another 2-input version of the same circuit 29 is used in the prescaler 31 function of the cellular phone, as shown below in FIG. 8c.
FIG. 8b shows the schematic for a 3-input FCML OR gate 14 used as the mode selection function 30, also in the prescaler circuit 31 of FIG. 8c.
FIG. 8c is the block diagram for a prescaler 31 in a cellular phone. As illustrated, this circuit merges three (3) of the FCML gates; (i) a 3-input D-type flip-flop 28, (ii) another 2-input D-type flip-flop 29, and (iii) a 3-input FCML OR gate 30 with other conventional circuitry in the prescaler circuit.
FIG. 8d is a block diagram for a typical phase-lock-loop (PLL) circuit 32 used in a cellular phone. This shows how the prescaler 31, with the FCML gates, is used in the loop.
FIG. 8e is a typical block diagram for a cellular phone showing the receiver and transmitter RF/IF portions, the baseband controller functions, the power supply, and the user input/output functions. Of particular interest relative to this invention is the phase-lock-loop (PLL) 32 circuit. In a typically cellular phone there may be 2 or 3 phase-lock-loops involved. As discussed above, each of these phase-lock-loops has at least three (3) high speed gate circuits which can be enhanced through the use of the high-speed, low-voltage FCML gates of this invention. And while a single analog/digital baseband is shown, a cellular phone could also use separate analog and digital basebands.
Although this represents one important application of the FCML gate family, many other uses where high-speed, very low voltage logic gates are needed will gain an advantage from this family of gate circuits.
While the invention has been described in the context of a preferred embodiment, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified in numerous ways and may assume many embodiments other than that specifically set out and described above. Accordingly, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all modifications of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Suggestions for light air vs storms
I''m not the best one to answer your question, but here goes. Your sail is an airfoil (unless the wind is pushing on the sail from far abaft the beam), so you can shape that airfoil for the wind conditions. In light air, you want to get more draft in the sail in the appropriate location. Draft is the amount of deflection perpendicular to the boom in the horizontal direction. The proper shape will give you more power in light air conditions. Easing the outhaul will allow the sail to have this extra draft.
In heavy air, you wish to do the opposite. It''s called "blading out" the sail and requires higher tension on the outhaul to pull the sail tight along the foot, and extra halyard (and/or cunningham) tension to tension the luff. The latter not only helps reduce draft, but moves the draft more toward the mast, which is better than having the maximum draft near the middle of the sail. With the sail shaped like this (less draft) it will be depowered and reduce heel.
Another neat trick can be used on fractional rigs. That''s where the headstay is attached lower than the top of the mast (say 7/8''s of the way up, hence "fractional"). This arrangement allows you to apply varying tension to the backstay (attached at the masthead), which actually bends the mast so that it curves forward near the middle. In the beginning, it wasn''t easy for me to visualize how this helps, but pulling the center of the mast forward definitely flattens the mainsail (reduces draft) and depowers it for heavy air conditions.
Hope this helps. If I didn''t get that quite right, someone else will chime in. Good luck with your learning. It''s all fun, isn''t it?

Denmark's de Forest wins Eurovision song contest
MALMO, Sweden Denmark's Emmelie de Forest has won this year's Eurovision Song Contest with her ethno-inspired flute and drum tune "Only Teardrops," despite tough competition from spectacular stage shows by performers from Azerbaijan and Ukraine.
Juries and television viewers across Europe awarded the barefoot, hippie-chic 20-year-old for the catchy love song that is driven by her deep, Shakira-like voice. She received a total of 281 points in the glitzy music battle, which also featured a bizarre opera pop number from Romania, the comeback of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" star Bonnie Tyler and an Armenian rock song written by the guitarist of Black Sabbath.
"It was overwhelming and I could really feel the fans and the audience and the people in the arena," de Forest told reporters after the winners were announced early Sunday.
"Of course I believed in the song and I thought we had a great song, but that's the exciting thing with Eurovision, you never know what's going to happen," she added.
De Forest grew up in northern Denmark and has been singing since she was 14, touring around Denmark with the Scottish musician Fraser Neill. She said it is important to be persistent to succeed as a young musician.
"I just called and emailed like a lot of festivals, music places and a lot of times I got no, but you just have to believe in yourself and keep trying, trying, trying - be outgoing and talk to new people, just call them and don't be afraid," she said.
De Forest was followed by second-place winner Farid Mammadov of Azerbaijan, who got 234 points for the song "Hold Me," which he performed on top of a glass cubicle containing a male dancer. The Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich and her song "Gravity" finished third with 214 points.
Ognevich was carried onstage in Saturday night's finals by the tallest man in the U.S. - Ukrainian-born Igor Vovkovinskiy. Vovkovinskiy - who stands 7 feet, 8 inches (234 centimeters) - wobbled onstage in a fur and feathers, placing the fairy-like Ognevich on a rock where she stood for the rest of the performance.
The televised extravaganza, with an audience of 125 million worldwide, is now in its 58th year. Once again without fail, it produced a mix of bubble-gum pop songs, somber ballads, bagpipes, accordions and bizarrely kitsch musical productions.
In an opening video, soccer great Zlatan Ibrahimovic welcomed the viewers to the competition in his hometown Malmo, in southern Sweden. The Nordic country hosted the event because its contestant Loreen won last year with "Euphoria."
This year's event also saw the return to the international stage of two seasoned European stars. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" singer Bonnie Tyler represented Britain with the sleepy love ballad "Believe In Me," while Anouk, whose song "Nobody's Wife" was a big hit in Europe in the 1990s, performed the song "Birds" for The Netherlands. Tyler ended in 19th place, while Anouk finished in the 9th spot.

The city emerging as science capital of India: V-C
The State capital accounts for 50 per cent bulk drug exports from the country Andhra Pradesh is the first State to announce a biotech policy
HYDERABAD: Hyderabad has become the chosen city of German Research Foundation (DFG), a prestigious German central public funding organisation, to open its branch after Delhi in the country.
DFG, with a budget of 1.4 billion euro for promoting research in Germany and encouraging international collaboration in science and humanities, has set up five branches in the world so far -- Washington, Beijing, Moscow, New Delhi and now Hyderabad.
The Association for German Culture (Goethe Zentrium), Nampally, set up in city two years ago, to promote German language and culture, will serve as an outreach for the DFG.
Giving the details to media persons here on Tuesday, DFG Vice-President H. Hacker said that apart from promoting research in Germany, DFG fostered scientific excellence through competition, advised parliaments and public authorities on science and research issues and supported young researchers world over.
"India is an upcoming country not only as an economic power but also in science and technology and it is time research collaboration is stimulated between India and Germany in a big way. The DFG branch in city will facilitate it," Dr. Hacker said.
The DFG-DST and DFG-INSA agreements would help future joint collaborative efforts.
University of Hyderabad Vice-Chancellor Seyed E. Hasnain said Hyderabad was chosen by DFG as the city was emerging as science capital of India.
It accounted for 50 per cent bulk drug exports from the country and has about 40 research institutes funded by various central organisations. Andhra Pradesh was the first State to announce a biotech policy, set up Biotech Park where Phase I was fully occupied, phase II fully allotted while allotment was on for the third phase.
The Consul General, Delhi, Heinz Kopp, said South India contributed for 40 per cent of Indian economy and Hyderabad with several positive features was chosen to represent South India.
Extend support
Later inaugurating the branch, Dr. Hacker called for intensifying Indo-German academic and research collaboration.
He said the cooperation remained one-sided with more Indian scholars visiting Germany than their counterparts coming here.
He said under a new scheme, DFG would extend support to young German researchers to undertake research projects in India.

West Allis - Easter Seals of Southeastern Wisconsin officials are thinking of moving their headquarters from South Milwaukee to West Allis and adding some adult and children's services.
Though they haven't firmly decided on the move, they wanted to clear away potential objections from the city, which they did last week as the Common Council approved a special-use permit for the proposed site, the former CU Fleet vehicle dealership at 2222 S. 114th St. But the council held up on the needed rezoning until Easter Seals decides it really wants to move.
In the meantime, the city is talking with the tax-exempt society about giving the city a payment in lieu of taxes every year. Such payments are voluntary and the city cannot hold up approvals to get an agreement.
The society is thinking of relocating to the 27,000-square-foot building.The site is zoned for manufacturing, and the areas around it are developed as commercial and light manufacturing.
If the project goes ahead, there would be no noticeable presence until next year, an Easter Seals spokesman said.
Besides moving its headquarters there, it would offer adult day services and occupational and physical therapy for children. The total number of staff would be about 60 to 70, but many of them would be away visiting clients in their homes and would spend relatively little time in the office.
Adult day services would help those with disabilities learn activities of daily living and social skills. They would be brought in by a private transit company.
Children's services would provide speech, occupational and physical therapies for ages 3 and younger, two or three afternoons a week. No more than 25 children would be there at once.
The site offers plenty of parking, officials said.
No one spoke at a public hearing held last week.

At the end of a long, hard day there's nothing like the sound of a running stream, or crashing waves upon the sand.
What is it about water? The sound is so.....refreshing......the taste is the same.......refreshing....
Jesus offers us living water (John 4:10). He IS the living water.
If the taste and sound of physical water can sooth our minds and hearts. Can you imagine how our souls can be refreshed with Jesus the living water?

Meles Zenawi was Ethiopia's former Prime Minister who has a net worth of $3 billion. Before becoming a prime minister of his native country, Zenawi was the president Ethiopia in the nineties (from 1991-1995). He was also the chairman of Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the head of Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) during the eighties. Taking the position of Prime Minister of Ethiopia from 1995 (until his death in August 2012), Zenawi was hailed as one Africa's strongmen, introducing a multi- party political system, private press in the country and reducing child mortality rates. He was also heavily involved in the US' War of Terror, helping to eliminate military organisations such as Al Qaeda. Furthermore, Zenawi received praised for his work towards a stable relationship with the African Union, playing an important role in improving continent's position on climate change. However his leadership came under serious attack, as he was accused of abusing a string of human rights issues and repressing the freedom of press/speech. Following a brain tumour operation in Brussels, Zenawi died contracting an infection on August 2012. He was 57. Barack Obama said that Zenawi 'deserves the recognition for his lifelong contribution to Ethiopia's development, particularly to the poor.'

Aquino stung by 'missing-in-action' allegations
More News from Maricar Cinco, TJ Burgonio
More News from Inquirer Southern Luzon
MANILA, Philippines—President Aquino on Wednesday bristled at criticisms that he had been "missing" for days as Tropical Storm "Maring" spawned heavy rain that battered Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
On the contrary, the President said he had been "nagging" Cabinet officials since Sunday when he noticed flooding on Osmeña Highway (formerly South Superhighway) after coming from a family get-together.
A cheerful Aquino showed up at the evacuation centers, but he turned serious when asked by a television reporter to respond to the criticisms, especially on social media, regarding his silence and lack of visibility in the two days that heavy rain lashed and unleashed heavy flooding.
He recalled calling Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman, Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Francis Tolentino and Marikina Mayor Del de Guzman to get updates on measures against the rising flood on Sunday.
"At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding," he told reporters at Mandaluyong Elementary School. "If the government failed to deliver, I'd be blamed entirely. But if it did well, perhaps the credit should also include me."
Absence in meetings
His glaring absence had been observed in the emergency meetings of the National Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Council presided by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. and his Cabinet on Monday and Tuesday.
Toward the end of Tuesday's meeting, Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas said: "The President has been closely monitoring the situation and the various Cabinet secretaries are giving him regular updates, even as the President has instructed all appropriate agencies to mobilize government resources."
Minutes later, Aquino's spokesman, Edwin Lacierda, released to the press Roxas' statement in a bid to assure those wondering about the President's whereabouts.
The President canceled a trip to Ilocos Sur province to inaugurate a bridge in the mountainous town of Cervantes last week because of his allergy to pollen. On Wednesday, he said he was getting better.
"I'm OK, more or less. I have been advised by Dr. Enrique Ona to rest. That's why last Sunday, I bothered only a few Cabinet officials when the rain started," he said.
On Wednesday, he motored to Biñan City and San Pedro town in Laguna province, and to Mandaluyong City to give away relief goods to flood victims staying in public schools and a covered gymnasium. It was his first public appearance since monsoon rains hit the capital on Saturday.
In his visit to San Pedro, Aquino again mentioned the government's plan to build a large dike on Laguna de Bay that, he said, would slow down the rise of floodwaters.

MALACCA: The presence of three horribly disfigured beggars at night markets in Taman Malim Jaya and Kampung Lapan here has shocked residents into calling for the authorities to step in.
The faces and foreheads of the three seem to have been scalded with acid and two of them had no hands and one had no toes.
Their faces were so disfigured that it is difficult to guess their gender and age.
The three, believed to be foreigners, appeared at several night markets here about three weeks ago, startling residents with their deformities.
Readers tipped off Starprobe when the similarities among the three and their appearances together at the same night market at the same time arouse suspicions that they might belong to a syndicate preying on the emotions of the people to get money.
Their modus operandi has apparently worked well, judging from the money they have been able to collect.
On Tuesday evening, the Starprobe team followed these beggars and saw them being picked up by a taxi.
The team tailed them but the taxi driver managed to lose them after realising they were being followed.
The team also tried to follow them on Monday evening.
Residents said they were concerned about the beggars as it was possible that they were victims of syndicates who could have abducted them.
"Without their hands, it is most likely they cannot even feed themselves.
"Their faces are so disfigured, so even if their family members did stumble upon them, they would not recognise them at all. It's pretty shocking.
"Without their fingers, thumb prints are gone. I hope the authorities can trace them and establish their identities,'' a resident said.
Another caller expressed suspicion over the whole thing, saying that she believed such beggars, especially if they were "purposely disfigured", were there more for greed.
"They are nothing more than employed beggars," the caller said.

According to this survey of health care experts and human resource leaders, health care costs are predicted to increase by as much as 50 percent over the next five years and employee contributions to health care premiums could triple. Experts agree, however, that employers and employees working together can drive down health care costs by making well-informed consumer decisions. A review of quality initiatives in health care and corporate-benefit management is included, pointing the way to better and more cost-conscious health plans.

The connection along with the dimensions is shown below:
Check for spacing and edge distance
Follow the below mentioned steps to check for spacing:
The spacing provided is adequate when
Here the actual spacing between bolts is s and the minimum required spacing between bolts is .
Compute the minimum spacing between the bolts as:
Here the diameter of the bolt is d.
Substitute for d from the figure in the above equation:
Compare the value of s and .
For the design to be considered safe:
Substitute 2.33 in for and 3 in for from the diagram:
Hence, the spacing is adequate.
Check for Edge Distance
Check whether the provided edge distance is adequate or not as follows:
The edge distance provided is adequate if the following equation is satisfied:
Here the value for minimum edge distance given in AISC Table J3.4 is .
Substitute 2.0 in for from the figure and 1.5 in for from AISC Table J3.4:
The condition is satisfied.
Hence the spacing and edge distance provided are .
Compute the design strength in shear and bending:
To compute the design strength, first compute the nominal strengths in shear and bending.
Compute the nominal shear capacity of one bolt as follows:
Here the nominal bolt area is and the nominal shear strength of bolt material is .
The bolts are A307 bolts. For A307 bolt, the nominal shear strength is 27 ksi.
Compute the value of :
Here the diameter of the bolt is d.
Substitute for d
Calculate the value of as follows:
Substitute 27 ksi for and for:
...... (1)
Therefore, the nominal shear strength of one bolt is 16.24 kips.
Compute the nominal bearing strength of a bolt by:
Here the ultimate tensile stress of gusset plate is, the clear distance from the edge of bolt hole to the edge of adjacent hole or the edge of material in a direction parallel to the applied load is and the thickness of the gusset plate is t.
Compute the value of as follows:
For edge bolts:
For other bolts:
In the above equations, the spacing is s and the hole diameter is h.
Compute the value of h as:
Substitute for d:
Compute the value of for edge bolt as:
Substitute 3 in for and for h
Calculate the nominal tensile strength for edge bolt as:
Substitute for, 58 ksi for (for A36 steel, the ultimate strength is 58 ksi) and for t:
Compute the upper limit given by according to AISC specifications.
Substitute for d, for t and for :
Compare the values of and .
Substitute 66.06 kips for and 45.68 kips for.
Compute the value of for inner bolt as:
Substitute 3.0 in for s from figure and for h:
Calculate the nominal tensile strength for other bolts as:
Substitute for, 58 ksi for and for t:
Compute the upper limit given by according to AISC specifications.
Substitute for d, for t and for :
Compare the values of and .
Substitute 53.84 kips for and 45.68 kips for.
The nominal bearing strength for gusset plate is the minimum of and.
Therefore the nominal bearing strength for gusset plate is .
The bearing strength of the channel does not need to be checked. Its thickness is greater than that of the gusset plate and its ultimate tensile stress is larger.
Compute the allowable strength of the connection based on bearing and shear
First calculate the nominal strength of a bolt:
The nominal bearing strength of outer bolt is, the nominal bearing strength of inner bolt is and the nominal shear strength of outer bolt is.
Substitute 16.24 kips for, 45.63 kips for and 45.63 kips for:
As the shear controls the nominal strength for all the bolts, the allowable strengths for the connection, is given by:
Here the load factor is which is taken as 2 and the number of bolts is n.
Substitute 2 for, 6 for n and 16.24 kips for:
Hence the allowable strength of the connection is .
