Sir James Dyson
For the design industry to thrive, it is vital design and technology in schools is protected. Here Sir James Dyson explains why it is crucial to fight for the subject's future.
Britain has a heritage of inventiveness and creativity; Rolls Royce, Kenneth Grange and George Carwardine just to name a few. The culture of "making things" requires inquisitive minds – an ability to approach a problem creatively, fused with the technical know-how to make it a reality.
One subject does this: design and technology. But it's under threat. A thirst to "make things" develops at an early age – D&T is a primary school favourite, and the most popular optional subject at GCSE. It's prestigious; A-level product design is a valid entry qualification for engineering courses at Russell Group universities.
But the subject is gradually being eroded. It threatens being sidelined in the current National Curriculum review, in lieu of more "academic" subjects. Added to this, it struggles to fight off a dreary image – design and technology is about metal bashing and making wooden key holders. Very damaging.
In some schools D&T is celebrated. Teachers inspire through experimentation and creativity, not health and safety rules, and there is brilliance in our universities. I see talented young inventors entering the James Dyson Award; often D&T was their springboard.
But of the Government is serious about reasserting Britain's position as a high-tech nation, they need to make D&T available to all.
We are already falling behind. China produces 300,000 engineering graduates each year, compared to our 22,000. It is no surprise that "general technology" is compulsory in Chinese schools. A UK education system based on academic rigour is important, but our future inventors aren't created from maths and science alone.
The best graduates I see at Dyson are those who – through design – cleverly utilise technology in a new way, as I did with my vacuum cleaner. The concept of a cyclone was not new, but its application was. Yes, we need scientists to research new technologies, but we must also nurture the minds that apply it to make something useful.
The inventors of tomorrow have to be inspired today.

Room Decor Ideas: WALLPAPER
Wallpaper is making a comeback! That's right! You heard me (in your head). Not only is it used for walls, but also to update old furniture and home accents. It's a great way refurbish and update an old armoire or bedside table without spending a lot of money. You can even just frame a small piece to make interesting artwork.
As I have done this myself, I first learned that it was SUPER exhausting trying to find a physical location to see and feel what you were getting into, or to find a place that sold you smaller amounts then a double roll. Try buying wallpaper remnants on ebay, or ordering the sample roll only. At stores, like Vista Paint you can by small rolls on clearance. Etsy also sells gorgeous stencils, decals, and handmade wallpaper in sheets or smaller rolls as well.
These are from Anthropologie and Etsy. The wall decals are from one of my favorite vendors on Etsy, Cutting Edge Stencils.

MIAMI (AP) - A judge on Thursday sentenced a failed South Florida congressional candidate to seven months in prison for campaign finance violations in a case linked to former U.S. Rep. David Rivera.
U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga ordered Justin Lamar Sternad to serve one year of probation after his release and 100 hours of community service. Sternad pleaded guilty last year to campaign finance violations, including accepting illegal contributions and filing false reports.
The case involves allegations that Rivera, a Republican, secretly financed Sternad's campaign to weaken Democratic rival Joe Garcia. Rivera has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, although close Rivera associate Ana Alliegro is also charged in the case. Rivera is again running for the House seat against Garcia after losing to him in 2012.
"You did begin with good intentions," Altonaga said of Sternad's initial desire to run for office, "but allowed yourself to be led astray and used by Ana Alliegro and others."
Sentencing guidelines called for 12 to 18 months behind bars. Sternad is cooperating with prosecutors and is expected to testify in Alliegro's trial. He could see his sentence reduced further depending on the role he plays in her case. He must turn himself in by Sept. 26. Altonaga did not impose a fine, noting Sternad lacked the money to pay.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Mulvihill had asked for a reduced sentence of 8 months but also stressed the seriousness of the crimes.
"He ran for one of the highest offices in the country on a totally false campaign," Mulvihill said, adding that voters should be able to know who is paying for a campaign in order to understand a candidate's positions.
During the hearing, Sternad read from a prepared statement.
"I hate to admit that I let Anna Alliegro and David Rivera take advantage of me," he said, adding that he wished he'd never heard their names. Sternad said he was conflicted in asking for leniency but did so for his five children and his wife, who home schools several of them. She cried quietly in court.
Altonaga acknowledged Sternad's remorse and his efforts to help the government. She also suggested Sternad's wife needed to start looking for outside work.
"My sentence does not need to deter you," she said. "It needs to deter others."

Criminal records: Supreme Court victory for man forced to reveal childhood caution to prospective employer
Justices ruled that the requirement to reveal had been a breach of the man's right to private life
Wednesday 18 June 2014
A man forced to reveal a childhood police caution for cycle theft to a prospective employer has won a human rights fight in the Supreme Court.
Five Supreme Court justices ruled that the requirement to reveal had been a breach of the man's right to private life, following a hearing in London.
Home Secretary Theresa May - and Justice Secretary Chris Grayling - asked Supreme Court justices to consider whether disclosure requirements were compatible with human rights legislation following rulings in the High Court and Court of Appeal.
Three appeal judges had said legislation requiring job applicants to disclose all convictions was a breach of human rights law.
And the Supreme Court upheld that decision today.
Three Court of Appeal judges had said that provisions of two pieces of legislation were incompatible with Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights - which enshrines the right to private and family life.
Mrs May and Mr Grayling introduced amendments in the wake of the Court of Appeal ruling.
But they maintained that the appeal court decision was wrong.
And their lawyers had asked for a Supreme Court ruling so that the "correct position" could be established.
A High Court judge had initially ruled in favour of the Home Office but that decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal.
Judges had been asked for rulings after campaigners called for reform of blanket provisions requiring applicants to disclose all convictions and cautions.
Lawyers representing a man who had applied for a part-time job with a football club and then for a university sports studies course had launched the case in the High Court.
They complained that police warnings he received following the theft of two bikes when he was 11 had been unreasonably disclosed when he made the applications years later.
The issue hit the headlines a decade ago following the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman - both 10 - in Soham, Cambridgeshire. School caretaker Ian Huntley was convicted of murdering the girls.
Education authority officials said they had not been aware of the full extent of Huntley's past involvement with police - and the case led to procedures being tightened.
Lawyers for Mrs May and Mr Grayling argued that the appeal court ruling was too broad and "surprising".
They said the ruling could affect hundreds of thousands of recruitment decisions where convictions were "plainly relevant".
And they said future policy should be "informed" by a Supreme Court decision.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission welcomed today's ruling.
Rebecca Hilsenrath, chief legal officer for the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: "This judgment sensibly recognises, as did the Court of Appeal, that people should not be haunted forever by minor childhood offences, in a way which might prevent them from becoming productive members of society and from engaging in their chosen field of employment.
"A warning given for a relatively trivial offence committed many years ago by a child, who has not re-offended, has no relevance to how that person could be safely employed to work as an adult.
"The Government has already acted to rectify problems identified in the 1997 Police Act. We will be monitoring the operation of the new 'filtering' mechanism to assess whether any particular individuals are disadvantaged."

Speed regulation of vehicles such as railway trains has long been desirable for reasons of economy and safety, but more importantly, to facilitate scheduling with reasonable accuracy and dependability. Where the road bed is substantially level the vehicle speed can be regulated quite accurately to correspond within close tolerances to the desired speed. However, a nonuniform profile of the roadbed necessitates modulation of tractive power and braking effort in order to monitor any degree of speed control. Load variations on the train add to the problem of non-uniform roadbed gradients, and the inherent characteristic of high inertia in a train makes speed regulation a difficult task.
Although this function has been performed in the past by skilled engineers, present systems utilize automatic control systems to produce the many different performance profiles that are required to obtain the desired regulation. A common approach for control is to use an error signal to modulate tractive effort, whereby the speed regulator output is a voltage whose amplitude is proportional to the speed error. The gain of this relationship is important in that if it is too low, then too large a speed variation is required to produce a torque variation and the system fails to hold the speed within required tolerances. Conversely, if the gain is too high the torque will respond to very slight speed changes, and the result is the occurrence of excessively short cycling times.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved speed regulator system responsive to velocity error.
Another object of this invention is the provision in a traction vehicle for the automatic speed regulation within prescribed narrow tolerances.
Still another object of this invention is the provision in a vehicle speed regulation system for minimum cycling in the modulation of traction effort.
Yet another object of this invention is the provision for the maintenance of a substantially uniform vehicle speed over a roadbed having a non-uniform profile.
A further object of this invention is the provision for a speed regulation control system which is economical to manufacture, and effective in use.
These objects and other features and advantages become more readily apparent upon reference to the following description when taken in conjunctionwith the appended drawings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly, in accordance with one aspect of the invention, circuitry is connected to the output ofa speed regulator for amplifying the speed regulator error voltage with either high or low gain rates depending on the band of operation. Low gain amplification is provided within a specified operating band, whereas high gain amplification is provided when the error signal from the speed regulator lies outside of that operating band. Low gain output is obtained by simply applying the speed regulator output to operational amplifiers, whereas high gain output is obtained by applying an additional signal to the operational amplifiers so as to increase the effective gain when the system operates outside a predetermined band of operation. The additional signal is received from an integrating circuit which is actuated to track the regulator error voltage when it increases above a first predetermined amplitude or decreases therefrom to a second predetermined amplitude.
In the drawings as hereinafter described, a preferred embodiment is depicted, however, various other modifications and alternate constructions can be made thereto without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the circuit as contemplated in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 2 is a graphic diagram of error amplifier output as affected by this invention when the speed error is varied across a predetermined band of operation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Reference is now made to FIG. 1 which shows a system for monitoring speed by the closed loop principle of comparing actual velocity to a speed reference and generating an analog error signal to maintain the desired velocity. As illustrated, a tachometer 11 provides a feedback signal 12 to an operational amplifier 13. The d-c voltage signal 12, which is proportional to actual vehicle velocity, is compared to the speed reference signal 14 from a reference circuit 16. The resultant is a velocity error signal 17 which is positive for power, zero for coast and negative for braking demands.
In conventional speed regulation systems the velocity error signal 17 is fed directly to the translator 18 which converts the analog signal into a positive d-c signal for control of the mode and magnitude of operation in the motoring, coasting, and braking modes. The gain of the amplifier 13 is fixed regardless of difference in the feedback signal 12 and the speed reference signal 14 at any instant.
The present system inserts a pair of circuits 19 and 21 in parallel between the operational amplifier 13 and the translator 18. The low gain circuit 19 is utilized during periods of operation wherein it is desirable to have low amplification of the velocity error signal. For example, for very slight speed demand changes it is desirable to have a low rate of gain to prevent the occurrence of excessively short cycling times. Conversely, when higher speed changes are called for, a high rate of gain is preferred so as to not require too large a speed variation to produce a torque variation. The high gain circuit 21 is thus automatically activated during these periods to supplement the low gain circuit 19 with a booster signal 22 along line 23. The existance and magnitude of the booster signal 22 is determined by the magnitude of the velocity error signal 17 as will be more fully described hereinafter.
Referring to the low gain circuit 19 the velocity error signal 17 is picked up at junction 24 and passes along lead 26, through the resistor 27 to an operational amplifier 28. A resistance 29 is connected across the operational amplifier to provide a low rate of gain to the output junction 30, with a second resistance 31 and diode 32 being connected thereacross to provide a nonlinear feedback element. For example, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the values of resistances 29 and 31 are chosen such that when the velocity error 17 is positive, the resistors 29 and 31 conduct in parallel and the gain at the junction 30 is 0.225. However, at times when the velocity error signal 17 is negative, the resistor 31 is out of the circuit and the gain at junction 30 is l.
Coupled in series to the junction 30 is a resistor 33 and an operational amplifier 34 leading to the translator 18. The operational amplifier 34 has a gain of 2, with a resistor 39 connected thereacross to act as a feedback component. The output to the translator 18 is then 0.45 times the velocity error signal 17 during periods of motoring demands and equal to twice that signal during periods of braking demands. Referring to FIG. 2, this relationship is shown in graphic form wherein the slope of line A-B represents the gain which occurs during the period of motoring wherein the speed error is from to 3 mph as represented by the speed error signal of 0 to 4.4 volts. At point B where the speed error signal reaches the magnitude of 4.4 volts, the rate of gain is changed as will be more fully discussed hereinbelow.
In the braking mode, wherein the speed error signal is negative, the rate of gain and therefore the slope of the line A-N is 2 throughout the complete range of the braking mode. This linear relationship is provided because of the analogue nature of the brakes and should not be considered as a limiting characteristic of the invention. The circuit may be made to provide dynamic bias for both motoring and braking modes of operation.
To explain the gain characteristics of the system during periods when the speed error signal exceeds a magnitude of 4.4 volts we must consider the effect of the high gain circuit 21 of FIG. 1. Serially coupled to the junction 24 is an input diode 41 with resistors 42, 43, and 44 leading to line 23 input junction 46, and junction 47. The input diode 41 is clamped on its output side by the reference circuit comprising a power source 48, a resistor 49 and a diode 51 leading to ground 52, thus ensuring that the negative velocity error signals brought about by braking calls are not received by the high gain circuit.
Coupled to a junction 53 between resistors 42 and 43, is an operational amplifier 54 with its associated resistance 56 connected thereacross to provide for signals from operational amplifier 13, a 1 gain at the output junction 57. A pair of level detectors X and Y are connected to the junction 57 by line 58. These detectors are used as switches to selectively actuate an integrating circuit which utilizes either a positive or negative power source. A preferred embodiment utilizes operational amplifiers as detectors, the amplifiers each being responsive to a predetermined voltage range to actuate an associated switch. Detector X is connected to operate a switch 59 whose contacts when closed connect a positive power source 61 to line 62 of the integrating circuit. Similarly, detector Y is connected to operate a switch 63 whose contacts when closed connect a negative power source 64 to line 62. Typically, the ranges of operation of the detectors X and Y are chosen such that during periods in which the voltage on line 58 is more negative than 4.44 volts, the contactors of switch X are closed and a positive 15 volts is inserted into the circuit at 62; whereas when the voltage on line 58 is more positive than +0.2, then the contactors of switch Y are closed and a negative 15 volts is inserted into the circuit. The significance of the specific values will be better appreciated upon reference to a typical cyclic operation as will be described hereinafter.
The remainder of the integrating circuit comprises in serial connection with the line 62 a resistor 66 and an operational amplifier 67 whose output terminal 68 is connected to a junction 69 between resistors 43 and 44. A capacitor 71 is connected across the operational amplifier 67 to act as a feedback component.
As previously mentioned, the booster signal 22 is derived from the circuit 21 only during periods in which a high gain output is desired, the reference of operation for the circuit 21 being the voltage level of the velocity error signal 17 as it controls the function of the level detectors X and Y. For example, in a typical circuit having the specific operational amplifiers previously described, a high gain output will occur at any time that the magnitude of the summation of the velocity error signal 17 and the output of the operational amplifier 67 is more positive than 4.44 volts or more negative than 0.2 volts.
Referring again to FIG. 2, during the period of operation from point A to point B the output of the operational amplifier 67 is zero and that of operational amplifier 54 is 1 times the velocity error signal 17. When the output of the operational amplifier 13 reaches a magnitude of 4.44 volts, that of the operational amplifier 54 is 4.44 volts and the level detector X will pick up to close the contacts 59. With the power source 15 connected to the amplifier 67 its output will be negative and the booster signal 22 will follow line 23 to junction 46 where it reinforces the signal from the amplifier 28 and subsequently experiences a gain of 2 in the amplifier 34. At the same time the output from amplifier 67 is fed into amplifier 54 which causes its output to go in a positive direction. This will eventually drop out the level detector X unless the velocity error signal 17 has continued to rise. As a result of this network the amplifier 67 will track amplifier 54; as the velocity error signal 17 goes positive amplifier 67 will tend to compensate by going negative enough to cancel the rise and thereby hold the output of amplifier 54 at the dropout value of the level detector X. The resistors 42 and 43 are preferably chosen such that a change of the velocity signal error results in a significantly smaller change in the output of amplifier 67 since this output subsequently experiences a gain of 2 at amplifier 34.
The aforesaid condition is illustrated by the B to C portion of the curve in FIG. 2, with the increased slope occurring as a result of the booster signal 22. If the velocity error signal 17 is now reduced in value as would normally occur as the train speed increases the output of amplifier 54 will move from 4.44 volts towards zero and the level detectorX will remain in a dropped out condition. The output of amplifier 67 will therefore hold the value it had at point C and the booster signal 22 will remain in a static state condition. We then revert to the low gain circuit 19 for our net output and are on that portion of the curve illustrated by the C to D line. When the velocity error signal is reduced to a certain level, it will, when coupled with the static output of the amplifier 67 result in a positive output of amplifier 54. At D an output voltage magnitude of +0.2 volts exists at the amplifier 54 and the level detector Y will pick up to close the contacts 63 and apply the negative power source 64. The amplifier 67 will again track the velocity error signal 17 and the booster signal 22 will move towards negative to again place the system in a high gain operating condition. lf at any time the direction of the velocity error signal changes the output of amplifier 54 will become more negative to enter a dead band in which neither level detector X or Y is picked up, and the low gain operation will resume.
It should be noted that the pick-up and drop-out values for each of the level detectors X and Y are preferably staggered by a small amount to prevent chatter of the contacts caused by their alternate closing and opening at the critical voltage level. For example, the level detector X may be designed to pick up at a voltage level of 4.44 volts and drop out at a value of 4.24 volts. Similarly, the detector Y is typically designed to pick up at +0.2 volts and drop out at 0 volts.
A typical operational cycle might be as follows. An increase of speed is requested and the velocity error signal is correspondingly increased. Assuming the new speed requested represents an increase of greater than 7 /2 mph, the operating point will move from points A to B to C where a maximum output voltage of 11 volts will be delivered to the translator so as to request full torque application. As the new speed is approached and the velocity error signal 17 is reduced, the operating point will move to point D and for example, to point E. Assuming digital torque steps this would be the first torque reached that is below the load requirements. The error will accordingly increase and the operating point will move to F which represents the next torque step. The resulting torque is greater than the load and the operating points will now cycle between points E and F. If now a gradual increase in torque is needed, as would be occasioned by a positive grade, it will move to point G and up to point H in a high gain mode of operation. As the speed error is decreased the system will resume low gain operation and the operating point will cycle between points H and I.

Comments about 'Local nonprofit organizations awarded $1.39 million in grants'
- Oldest first

Typical government program.
It spends 1.39 million dollars to get people to do something for free.
Much of this is spun off from Americorps which is the old Job Corps. That program really needs an honest evaluation to see if it has been worth the cost over the last several decades. In my view it is basically a "welfare dependency" training program, where participants are indoctrinated to look to government for handouts and substitutes to real work. Yeah, they will claim it is for job training and stuff like that, but why are taxpayers spending money for this after 12 years of free public education which should prepare youth for jobs?
In the private sector these would be called "internships" where people go out and seek opportunities to develop and demonstrate work skills to potential employers. That does not require government spending of $1.39 million.

you really need to do a little more research into AmerCorp before commenting, it is not anything near what you seem to think it is. Most Amercorp workers are College graduates that get paid very minimal compensation to work for non profits as part of a loan forgiveness program.

Amercopr workers are primarily college graduates that have agreed to work for a predetermined number of years for nonprofit in return for reduction in their student loans. they work fro a very minimal wage and provide a great service to the non-profits and the clients they serve. they are none of the things you describe.

Taxpayer funded programs through AmericCorps also includes Public Allies,which
was designed to connect young activist socialist organizations, nonprofits and
government agencies.
Obama and his wife Michelle have both been executive directors of Public Allies, designed to get out the vote for socialist politicians.
The environmental organizations that are funded through Americorps are seizing the ownership and control of Utah's natural resources for the federal government which is the ultimate monopoly since bankers float all the bonds that underwrite government spending programs and take their percentage on big government debt.

Snoop dogg fermato in aeroporto a Lamezia: nelle tasche 50.0000 dollari in contanti
There's this bridge I've got to cross I feel alone. A child down to each side and I can't carry both. The bridge is long we could fall down through holes, water all around; wind, wet and cold. One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn't own, another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home. My bridge is too unstable and the insecurity is letting go. There's no holding to a crumbling bridge. When all the time is gone in between it tumbles. Time to move along... I toss and turn over and over, trying to dream out anxiety, easy answers to my problems. Keeping a grip on sanity until the sun comes up and my mind's fresh and clean.

Intraocular (Uveal) Melanoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - General Information About Intraocular (Uveal) Melanoma Treatment
Incidence and MortalityMelanoma of the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), though rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The mean age-adjusted incidence of uveal melanoma in the United States is approximately 4.3 new cases per million population, with no clear variation by latitude. Males have a higher incidence than females (4.9 vs. 3.7 per million).[1] The age-adjusted incidence of this cancer has remained stable since at least the early 1970s.[1,2] U.S. incidence rates are low compared with the rates of other reporting countries, which vary from about 5.3 to 10.9 cases per million. Some of the variation may be the result of differences in inclusion criteria and methods of calculation.[1]Uveal melanoma is diagnosed mostly at older ages, with a progressively rising, age-specific, incidence rate that peaks near the age of 70 years.[3] Host susceptibility factors associated with the development of this cancer include:[2,3,4]Caucasian race.Light
Intraocular (Uveal) Melanoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Small Choroidal Melanoma
A wide range of 5-year mortality rates have been reported among patients treated for small choroidal melanomas, with an average rate of about 16%.[1,2] Several studies indicate that the two most important clinical factors predictive of mortality are larger tumor size (at the time of treatment) and documentation of tumor growth.[3]The management of small choroidal melanomas is controversial. The likelihood of progression from the time of diagnosis to growth warranting treatment has not been well characterized. Many ophthalmologists advocate initial observation. This initial management strategy is justified on several grounds, including the difficulty in establishing a correct diagnosis, the lack of any documented efficacy for globe-conserving treatments, and concerns for severe treatment-related morbidity. Others have advocated earlier therapeutic intervention.[4,5,6]Standard treatment options:Observation: This strategy is important for patients with an uncertain diagnosis or in

Intraocular (Uveal) Melanoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Treatment Option Overview
Role of ObservationIris melanomas have relatively good outcomes with a 5-year survival rate of more than 95%. They are predominantly of the spindle-cell type and are usually smaller in size than posterior melanomas because of earlier detection. Conservative management is generally advocated whenever possible, but surgical intervention may be justified with unequivocal tumor growth or with extensive disease at initial examination.The management of small choroidal melanomas is controversial, and it is not clear whether treatment of small tumors prevents metastasis.[1] The natural history of small choroidal melanoma is poorly understood. Small, pigmented, choroidal lesions cannot always be differentiated reliably on examination. Growth is a presumed indicator of malignant potential.[2] The likelihood of progression from the time of diagnosis to the time when tumor growth warrants treatment has not been well characterized. Some ophthalmologists advocate
