Australian Open heat: Stay calm and focus, ex-players say
Soaring temperatures were expected to peak Friday at 42C before cooling down this weekend at the Australian Open.

Share via Email
Scorching temperatures in Melbourne continued to exasperate tennis players at the Australian Open this week.
Thursday's high was expected to reach 41 C, and 42 C on Friday before cooling down with rain showers by the weekend.
The heat has been called "inhumane" and officials at the tournament said players have experienced discomfort although none have required significant medical interventions.
Canadian qualifier Frank Dancevic collapsed from the heat on Tuesday, when temperatures reached 42 degrees Celsius, cooling down to 30 C late in the day. There have been several retirements from players who forfeited from the heat.
The only way to manage is not to panic about the hot sun, said former top-ranked Canadian tennis star Grant Connell, who played in the Australian Open for almost a decade before retiring in 1997 — including some years before the grass was changed to a hard court in 1987.
"Everyone's in the same boat there," he said.
"It's even worse than it sounds. It just gets hotter and hotter and hotter on your body. You're playing at really high temperatures there."
Players must stay hydrated, both during the match and the night before and monitor their own bodies carefully, Connell said.
"You just keep going, it's an endurance test. Frankly at that heat, it comes down to who's genetically predisposed to handling it better."
Valerie Tetreault, a former singles player and now Tennis Canada spokeswoman, recalled matches that were stopped due to the heat some years at the Australian Open, where the heat is often a concern, falling as it does during the height of southern hemisphere summer.
"It's a very fine line between when they do stop matches and when they keep going like we're seeing right now," she told the Star. "A lot of players are talking about it. It's a big concern."
Centre court has some shade during certain parts of the day, but players should seek their air-conditioned hotel rooms and cover themselves in ice during the changeovers to cool their body temperature. Men's matches can last several hours, while women's are shorter, she said.
"It can be dangerous," she said. "If you start to cramp or feel a little bit dizzy on the court, it's too late. There's nothing you can really do."
There's a divide among players, she said. Some simply consider the heat a test of their physical fitness, and others find it more intense.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to tube sizing devices, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for sizing flat, multi-void, extruded tubes for automotive heat exchangers.
2. Description of the Invention
Conventional aluminum heat exchangers were manufactured with relatively long pieces of multi-void tubing (i.e., tubing in which the interior space is divided into multiple longitudinal voids by a plurality of longitudinal webs), and then bent into a serpentine configuration. Although these serpentine heat exchangers were satisfactory with fluorocarbon refrigerants R-12 and R-22, they did not perform well with CFC-134a.
A new configuration of condenser core thus was developed for use with CFC-134a: the micro-multi-void extrusion. These micro-extrusions (referred to herein as "micro-extruded tubes") are cut to length and assembled to make up a series of parallel paths for the refrigerant to flow through.
However, prior art extrusion technology originally could not produce a tube with micro-multi-voids to the extremely tight tolerances required in the manufacture of parallel-flow condenser coils. The prior art thus developed tube sizing technology which could control the thickness of the micro-extruded tubes. Currently, there are two methods in use in the art. The first method is rolling, in which the microtube is passed through a series of rollers which reform the material to a pre-determined size. The roller sizing machines which are used in the rolling method generally are fed microtubes from a coil of material. The rolling method is very slow and costly to perform.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,058,266 to Knoll is illustrative of the rolling method. As disclosed by Knoll, the tubes as initially extruded have an oval shape with two transverse webs connecting the long sides of the oval. The tube is then rolled under pressure, flattening the oval sides and comprising and bending the transverse webs. In addition, there is disclosed a similar rolling operation for tubes having one or two internal fins which initially do not extend entirely to the far wall of the tube. However, upon rolling, the two sides of the tube are flattened, and the internal fins do not contact the far wall of the tube.
A second method in use in the art is a compression method, in which a die is sized to hold a single tube. The tube is placed in the die and compressed to reach the desired size. The compression method also is very slow and costly to perform, because it treats only a single tube at a time.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,776,018 and 3,662,582 to French are illustrative of the compression method. As disclosed by French, heat exchanger tubing of an oval cross section with two parallel opposite sides is made by compressing tubes initially having a circular cross section and short internal fins. The internal fins act as spacers to prevent excessive compression of the tube. After the compression step, the walls of the tube are partially separated by fluid pressure.
Compression has also been used generally for sizing single tube blanks, both for heat exchangers and other applications.
In U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,829,803 and 4,744,237 to Cudini, a box-like frame member is formed by compressing a tube blank into a square shape between two matching dies. Each die has a rectangular groove in it, such that when the two dies are brought together they compress a tube of circular or similar cross section into a rectangular cross section shape.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,527,411 to Shinosaki et al., the circular tube is heated to a temperature of 550� to 1250� C. and compressed within a box-like form having three sides by the application of pressure through a compressing side.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,309 to Lefrancois, a process of compressing hollow bead rings for the beads of pneumatic tires. The beads have an oval or diamond-shaped cross section, with a web extending from one of the longer sides partially across the cross sectional distance. The opposite wall of the tube may have a mating surface into which the transverse webs fit at the end of the compression step. However, no particular compression method is specified.
According to the above-discussed references, only one tube is sized at a time in a die that has been designed to hold only one tube during the application of the sizing pressure. Thus, the method is also relatively slow and expensive. It is the solution to these and others objects to which the present invention is directed.
Accordingly, it is a principle object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for sizing a plurality of tubes, and particularly micro-extruded tubes, at one time.
It is another object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for sizing multi-void, micro-extruded tubes suitable for use in a parallel flow-type of heat exchanger, such as a condenser coil.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an efficient and less expensive method of making automotive heat exchangers.
To achieve these objects, a sizing die according to the present invention is herein provided. The sizing die comprises a fixed side fence and a movable clamping fence which is parallel to the fixed side fence. A fixed base fence is disposed adjacent to ends of the fixed side fence and the clamping fence, and extends perpendicular to the fixed side fence and the clamping fence. A movable die platen is positioned parallel to the fixed base fence and between the fixed side fence and the movable clamping fence. The die platen has a mating surface having substantially the same dimensions as a side of the tube blanks to be sized.
Each of the micro-extruded tubes to be sized has a flattened oval cross section, a pair of substantially planar side surfaces disposed in parallel relation to each other, and at least one internal web extending through the tube and perpendicular to the planar side surfaces.
In the method according to the invention, a predetermined number of micro-extruded tubes are stacked on the base fence between the fixed side fence and the clamping fence. The internal webs of the tubes are aligned throughout the stack, perpendicular to the plane of the base fence. The clamping fence is moved toward the stack of tubes to prevent the stack from moving laterally. The die platen is moved toward the stack of tubes and the mating surface of the die platen is in mating engagement with a side surface of the uppermost tube in the stack. A predetermined amount of pressure is applied to the stack of tubes through the die platen. The pressure is applied equally across the entire side surface of the uppermost tube and is transmitted equally through all the tubes of the stack in the sizing die.
The invention is better understood by reading the following Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing figures, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sizing die in accordance with the present invention, with the clamping fence and the die platen in their open positions.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the sizing die of FIG. 1, with the clamping fence being in the closed position to fix the tubes to be sized against lateral movement.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sizing die of FIG. 1, with the clamping fence and the die platen being in their closed positions.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a micro-extruded tube to be sized.
In describing preferred embodiments of the present invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
Referring particularly to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 an open sizing die 10 comprising die fences 12, 14, and 16, and die platen 18 which define a cavity 20 having an approximately rectangular cross section throughout. Fixed side fence 12 has a substantially planar inner surface 12a. Clamping fence 14 is movable toward fixed side fence 12 and has a planar inner surface 14a parallel to inner surface 12a of fixed side fence 12. Base fence 16 is disposed adjacent to ends of fixed side fence 12 and clamping fence 14. Inner surface 16a of base fence 16 is perpendicular to inner surface 12a of fixed side fence 12 and inner surface 14a of clamping fence 14. Die platen 18 has a mating surface 18a parallel to inner surface 16a of base fence 16.
As best shown in FIG. 4, a micro-extruded tube 20 for sizing in die 10 has two substantially planar opposite side surfaces 30. The dimensions of mating surface 18a of die platen 18 are substantially the same as those of the side surfaces 30 of micro-extruded tubes 20 to be sized.
At least one internal web 32 projects inwardly from side surface 30 substantially perpendicular to side surfaces 30. Internal webs 32 are of the same height and are preferably equally spaced. Internal webs 32 extend the full length of micro-extruded tube 20, so that the interior of micro-extruded tube 20 is divided into individual flow channels 34.
In use, micro-extruded tubes 20 are stacked in die 10 between fixed side fence 12 and clamping fence 14, with the lowermost micro-extruded tube resting on base fence 16. Internal webs 32 are aligned throughout the whole stack, and are perpendicular to base fence 16. Clamping fence 14 is moved towards fixed side fence 12 to a position where inner surface 14a of clamping fence 14 is in mating engagement with the stack of micro-extruded tubes 20. Clamping fence 14 is fixed into position against the stack of micro-extruded tubes 20 to prevent any lateral movement of micro-extruded tubes 20 during the sizing operation.
Die platen 18 is then moved toward the stack of micro-extruded tubes 20 so that its mating surface 18a is in mating engagement with upper side surface 30 of the uppermost micro-extruded tube 20 in the stack. A predetermined amount of pressure is applied equally across upper side surface 30 of the tube 20 at the top end of the stack, and is transmitted equally throughout all micro-extruded tubes 20 within sizing die 10 to cause all micro-extruded tubes 20 to be compressed equally, resulting in an equal reduction in the thickness of all of micro-extruded tubes 20 (i.e., the dimension of all of micro-extruded tubes 20 between side surfaces 30) and an accompanying increase in the tube length.
Movement of die platen 18 to achieve the required pressure can be achieved in any conventional manner, for example, through hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical or electrical means or any combination of these means. These pressure applying procedures are generally well known among those skilled in the art, and therefore are not described in detail herein.
Because a plurality of micro-extruded tubes can be sized at the same time by the sizing die, productivity is dramatically increased compared with prior methods. Another advantage of this invention is that the thickness of the extruded micro-extruded tubes can be controlled by the amount of pressure applied. Thus, the extrusion procedure produces the cross section illustrated to a very high degree of accuracy, uniformity and repeatability.
Microtubes frequently are coated with a substance intended to enhance or protect the properties of the base metal. This coating causes the microtubes to have a rough, sandpaper-type texture, which is undesirable. A further advantage of the method in accordance with the invention is that the micro-extruded tubes sized according to this invention have a smooth exterior surface condition.
A further advantage of this invention is that the tubes produced by the procedure according to this invention exhibit very small amounts of core bow, thus reducing problems normally associated with core bow during the core assembly process.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described herein in detail, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alterations can be made to these embodiments without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. For example, the apparatus in accordance with the present invention can be used to size tubes other than micro-extruded tubes in accordance with the method of the present invention.
Accordingly, it is to be understood that all such modifications and alterations are included within the scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.

School Sport
Hamilton Boys' High School first XV will be at full strength when they prepare to take on Auckland's St Kentigern College this weekend at the National Top 4 competition in Rotorua.
The Super 8 Champions booked their place in the final four as the winners of the Chiefs region in a physically draining encounter where they prevailed 14-9 against rivals Wesley College last weekend.
Despite Wesley's physical presence, Hamilton Boys' coach Greg Kirkham pinpointed his side's defence as the telling factor that earned them the victory.
"It certainly was a tough battle.
"Wesley are usually a pretty physical side. Certainly on Saturday they were exactly that.
"It was one of those games where we probably won it on our defence rather than on our attack, really," Kirkham said.
Fortunately for HBHS, everyone came through unscathed with no niggling injuries as they go into the knockout tournament in hopes of securing the school's third national schoolboy title.
However, Kirkham and his side are under no illusions that the business end of the competition means it is only going to get harder from here on in.
"As each game goes by we sort of know that the opposition gets harder and the competition gets a little bit stiffer," Kirkham said.
"Going into this game against St Kents will be a good battle."
In his first year since taking over from Nigel Hotham - who is now the coach of the New Zealand Secondary Schools side, Kirkham is keen to rectify the disappointment of last year when the team did not make it into the top four. A different approach this year has had the side focusing on their own performance rather than on their competition and it has reaped its rewards.
Kirkham said having former All Black Carl Hoeft as his assistant had helped the side this year, with the front-rower being able to share plenty of knowledge with the players.
"Having Carl Hoeft as my assistant this year certainly added a bit to the team, especially with the forwards.
"His experience and the opportunity for him to come in and pass on his expertise to the players has certainly benefited [them], especially as an ex-All Black and professional rugby player."
Looking forward to their semifinal, Kirkham knows his side will need to be focused on the task at hand in order to beat one of the in-form teams in the country.
He is aware of the threat St Kentigern pose and his team will be concentrating on their game plan and aiming to stick to it. "As we know with our opposition this weekend St Kents, they're pretty strong across the field. It's just looking at some of their strengths and making sure we can counteract those too.
"It's really playing our game, rather than worrying too much about what they're doing," Kirkham said.
The semifinal between Hamilton Boys' and St Kentigern will be televised, along with the second semifinal where Otago Boys' High School will play Napier Boys' High School.

For web designers the big contracts are always the most exciting. But regular, monthly income derived from on-going clients can keep the lights on when feast turns to famine.
The most popular CMS by far is WordPress. Most website owners will never use it to its fullest capabilities, yet still pay expensive hosting fees and manage complicated design issues.
Cloud Cannon is a web app which allows designers to lighten the client-side workload. IT promises to take care of all hosting issues, make the website easily editable by the client and best of all – it's all done through Dropbox. But is it worth the hassle for small design firms and individuals? Let's see.
Bookkeeping is one of the most important and potentially stressful parts of running any business. It doesn't matter if you're a fresh-faced freelancer or a heartless multinational corporation, if your business income and expenditure isn't properly accounted for then you can end up spending many a sleepless night frantically shuffling through a years worth of receipts and invoices, hoping to somehow balance everything inside a spreadsheet. Worse still, you risk fines and penalties if you don't properly calculate your taxes.
Even knowing the above, the word "bookkeeping" immediately evokes mundane thoughts of dusty offices and leather-bound ledgers being thumbed through by monocled gentlemen in pinstripe suits. It's difficult to get excited about taxes and spreadsheets, isn't it?
Fortunately, bookkeeping doesn't have to be mundane. After spending some time with FreeAgent, it's actually — dare I say it — fun!
It's amazing to me that something as simple as invoicing is so time-consuming. What should take just a couple clicks here and there invariably takes four, five, sometimes six or more just to add a payee or edit working hours. I've resorted to creating every invoice of mine in Apple's Pages app, which allows me to create invoices based off my standard template.
But there's far more sophisticated software out there for invoicing and expenses that could help me keep track of my work much more easily, and I'm aware of that fact. Recently, I took Nutcache — a free web app for invoices and expenses — out for a spin to see if it would suit my needs. Read on for my detailed thoughts about the services.
Running a business is a delicate balancing act. Not only are the customers and their happiness is important, so is the happiness of your employees. You don't want to overwork them and bring their morale and quality of work down. An unhappy employee is a surefire way to mess up your brand's image.
On the other hand, times are tough and you have ensure that you use all your resources – human and otherwise – are put to use optimally for better return on investment. Even squeezing out 10 or 20% more out of your resources ensures better margins for your business.
Naturally, you'll need a system to track and allocate resources in a prudent manner. ResourceGuru is here to your rescue!
When you're designing an interface, usability should always be a top concern. Ensuring your users can have a pleasant, intuitive experience should come secondary only to the actual existence of your content on a page. Achieving such a feat is only guarenteed through testing with real life potential users and that's where Usability Hub comes in.
UsabilityHub is actually a hub for three different types of user experience testing – the Five Second Test, the Click Test and the Nav Flow test – bringing together valuable data into one, manageable tabulation of useful results. (more…)
Whether you're building a website, creating a flyer, refining your presentation or just looking to spruce up your project, chances are that you are going to need some great photography. Of course, photographers cost a ton and might be out of your budget, and you might not have the time, equipment, or skills to take the best photos for our own projects.
But there are enough websites out there which offer great images for free. By popular demand, here's our AppStorm roundup of the very best places to find free and legal stock photos online.
We cover web apps day in, day out. There's so many great tools on the internet today, it's hard to imagine living without them. And yet, plenty of people that think web apps are a passing fad, something that filled a gap for native apps that were missing from some platforms but not that essential.
And yet, most of us all rely on web apps even if we don't think about it. If your site is powered by a CMS like WordPress, you're relying on a web app. If you use any email service for regular communications, or sync files, or make calls online, you're relying on web apps. Even if you're not actively looking for new web apps for your workflow, and don't rely on tools like IFTTT or online collaboration apps, you're likely still reliant on web apps. So the question is, could you live without web apps?
For this time, let's leave Facebook and Twitter out of the equation. Don't think of social networks, or web apps you use just to pass the time. Instead, think about whether you could actually get your daily work done without any web apps. And yes: Evernote's native apps, or Dropbox syncing your files, still counts as web apps.
There's absolutely no way I could live without web apps — after all, AppStorm's a virtual team and we all work on the web, and my own personal ventures are all on the web. I'd be in quite a mess if every web app I use disappeared tomorrow.
How about you?

LIVESTRONG Sporting Park update and a weekend prediction
The last time I took a tour of Sporting Kansas City's new stadium-in-the-making, it was March and the final strip of grass had just been placed. There were a few seats installed and there was concrete and wire everywhere. It was still an impressive sight, but it was hard to imagine what it might look like on opening day.
Fast forward to Friday. I took my second tour of LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The stadium is set to open in just 12 short days on June 9. This time around, it was much easier to imagine a crowd in the stands and players on the field. In just under two months, the crews working to get the stadium ready have been putting in some intense hours and it shows. All the seats are in place. The video boards are functioning. There is carpet in both locker rooms. The taps are even installed in the bars.
Now it's just a sprint to the June 9 finish line, when Sporting KC will finally end its 10-game road trip and debut against Chicago in its brand new home. There's still a lot of work to finish, but crews are working double-time to make sure everything gets taken care of. The experience on that first game night should be memorable.
I put together a video walk-through of the stadium for those who haven't had a chance to see it yet. This tour takes you around the field on all sides, through the home and away team locker rooms and up to the VIP seats. There were plenty of highlights this time through, too. There is no bad seat in the stadium. They all have a gorgeous view of the field and the incline of the seats is such that you feel close to the field no matter where you sit. The seats are comfortable, too. That is always a good thing.
The open roof covers all the seats. It should be interesting to see how well the stadium retains crowd noise. My guess is it will probably get pretty loud.
Check it out:
Less than two weeks now...
Saturday's game
There is some other business pending for Sporting KC. The team travels to take on Colorado at 8 p.m. Saturday night. Colorado currently sits in fourth position in the Western Conference. Sporting, after dropping the game against Seattle last week, is currently last...in all of MLS.
There was some good news for Sporting KC this week though. The team played its final qualifying game against New England on Wednesday. For the first time this season, Sporting played as the home team, holding the match in Overland Park. The team responded with a 5-0 dismantling, crushing their conference opponent with relative ease and posting a shutout. The team played well on both sides of the ball for the entire 90 minutes.
My hope is that the midweek contest gave the team some much-needed confidence. I also hope that the offensive explosion is a sign of things to come for Sporting in the next few weeks. It's unfortunate that when Sporting finally put everything together for a game it didn't earn any points toward the league. It did earn a spot in the U.S. Open Cup though, which isn't a bad consolation prize. It means more exposure and competitive play for a team that is behind most in the league for games played so far this season.
Looking at the numbers, it's safe to say Saturday's game against Colorado is one which Sporting should walk away from with at least a point. Colorado has scored 14 goals and conceded 12 on the season, which points to some defensive issues that haven't yet been addressed. Sporting, with its speed in the midfield, should be able to find gaps and create decent scoring chances. You could compare Colorado's stats with Kansas City's, but that's a little hasty, considering Colorado has played five games at home, where it's supposed to score and win. Kansas City, obviously, has played zero home games. Sporting's play during the past few weeks may have been shaky and at times awful, but no team in the entire league has won more than three away games. KC's is pretty comparable to many in MLS, especially in the Eastern Conference where no team has more than one road victory.
Who wins this game will come down to which Sporting KC team decides to show up in Colorado. If it's the team that played New York to a 1-0 loss or the team that won 5-0 on Wednesday, Kansas City walks away with its first regular season victory since March 19. If it's the Sporting team that makes critical mistake after critical mistake, it could be a long night. My prediction is that it'll be somewhere in between the good and the bad. If the defense can just play together for the full 90 minutes, Sporting will walk away with at least a point, even with four players missing from the lineup with national team duties.
I'm picking Sporting to piece together a victory somewhat shorthanded with solid defense. They win, 2-1.
Game: Sporting KC at Colorado Rapids
Time: 8 p.m.

The Retired Malicious Brother of Cormac Stark is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cormac Stark with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.291 billion Cormonkeys enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cormacville. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.
The Cormonkey economy, worth 472 trillion crucicrescents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 64,858 crucicrescents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Cormac Stark has found 4 easter eggs), the nation is cleaning up after a national night of celebration left most people with headaches and dim memories (Cormac Stark has found 4 easter eggs), and Cormacism has been named as Cormac Stark's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cormac Stark's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cormacism.
Cormac Stark is ranked 2nd in The Brotherhood of Malice and 7,301st in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring 122 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
National Happenings
Most Recent Government Activity:
- : Cormac Stark was ranked in the Top 10% of the region for Most Pacifist (last census: Top 5%).
- : Cormac Stark was ranked in the Top 10% of the world for Most Inclusive.

- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I have been working at AREVA T&D full-time (More than 3 years)
Great benefits, very smart people to work with, flexible work hours, plenty of work. I enjoy working here and the vacation, 401k, and health insurance benefits are especially good. The people are extremely smart, top leaders in their technology fields. The office hours are 10am to 3pm so early or late schedules are both possible. There is lots of work. opportunities to be involved in project, and move around the company.
Salaries are just ok. Training programs not very good, it's a 'sink or swim' environment. Employees supposedly get 2 weeks of training per year, but that doesn't seem to happen. The project work can be scattered and disorganized. Documentation is not a priority and often software documentation is insufficient to really understand the functionality.
Advice to Management
Institute more formal procedures to transfer the power system knowledge from older engineers to the young engineers. There is a lot of tacit knowledge held by older workers which will be lost as they retire. This can take the form of formal training or shadowing. It should be acceptable to move more slowly on projects sometimes to facilitate knowledge transfer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AREVA T&D (Tinicum, PA) in March 2013.
Phone Screen with HR, Called for onsite interview, six professionals interviewed including HR, Interview went very good, all questions were answered based on 15 years of experience in Power industry. 2 days later informed by recruiter, " not an exact match for their requirements, will keep the resume in record" No courtsey to take for lunch, bad manners or protolcol After the interview, Felt like I have been used to resolve their thyristor stack related problems, since two of their engineers asked specific questions related to thyristor assembly and their specs. I recommended possible causes/solutions for their technical promblems based on my past experience in the industry.

Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
"My Nigeria is my earth, my material, my jokes"
Antoinette Muller | 21 Mar 2014 10:13 GMT | Africa, Sport, Cricket, New Zealand, South Africa
South Africa's opening World Twenty20 match is against one of the favourites Sri Lanka and while the team isn't weighed down by expectations, most fans will be quietly hoping the 'c' word doesn't come into play this time.
Grouped with dark horses New Zealand apart from Sri Lanka, the Proteas will have a tough time progressing. There are a few players who could tip the scale in their favour and we've picked five of them with some help from their former wicket-keeper Mark Boucher.
Dale SteynDale Steyn remains an injury concern, a strange thing for a man who was rarely troubled for the majority of his career. He bowled just 14 balls in a warm-up earlier this week and the South African medical team was seen giving him extra TLC.
His energy, pace and aggression has swung many games South Africa's way. Although he has not played that many international Twenty20s, his value cannot be underestimated. In his 16 World T20 matches, he has taken a wicket every 17.4 balls and averages just under 18.
"The impact Dale has on proceedings is absolutely massive," Boucher told Al Jazeera. "He's the heart of the South African bowling attack and his variations are solid. Even in conditions which are fairly unkind to bowlers, he will still be important. He bowls fast, straight, can swing the ball and has done it all in these conditions."
David MillerDavid Miller has been earmarked as a perfect T20 finisher.
With his motto of 'if it's in the V, it's in the tree' he has the potential to be South Africa's Chris Gayle. By his own admission, he took a leaf from Matthew Hayden's book when first learning his craft. While he has shown that potential at domestic level, he's often been found wanting against international opposition.
He has, done very well on the subcontinent before - his 101* for the Kings XI Punjab being one of the most blistering knocks in cricketing memory.
"Miller has a huge role to play. What makes him even more important is that he's been very successful in the region. Between him and Albie Morkel, there are two players in the side who could take the team all the way."
JP Duminy
JP Duminy has evolved into an all-round asset.
Although he still has to prove that he has batting BMT, his second role as a spinner is becoming increasingly useful in T20s. It gives captain Faf du Plessis an extra bowler to play with and use according to conditions.
With over 150 T20 games under his belt, Duminy is one of the most experienced players in the team with knowledge of the conditions. If cricketers were measured solely on stats, Duminy would rank pretty highly. He has a batting strike-rate of 122.2 and takes a wicket every 15.7 balls.
"Given his bowling ability, Duminy is a very big all-rounder in subcontinent conditions. If he has a great tournament then South Africa are better off for it. He is one of the more experienced players and South Africa will look to him to run the middle overs."
AB de VilliersAB de Villiers has, perhaps surprisingly, not been all that effective in T20 cricket.
If he comes in to bat early, he can lead the innings and help set it up
Mark Boucher, Former SA wicket-keeper
In other formats, his greatest strength is his adaptability – being able to read a game and adjust accordingly and that hasn't been the case in T20 internationals. He averages just 21.4 in the 52 T20is he's played and has scored just four fifties, an average return for a batsman of his calibre.
Lately, de Villiers has been shuffled down the order, coming in at four or five to try and hit out.
"AB is the best batsman in the team and those players usually bat at number three. If he comes in to bat early, he can lead the innings and help set it up."
Imran TahirMake all the jokes you like about Imran Tahir, when it comes to bowling – and taking wickets – in T20 cricket, Tahir does a pretty good job.
He made his T20 international debut last year but can be incredibly effective when conditions are in his favour. South Africa are up against some teams who are really good at playing spin, but they are also up against England.
Don't be surprised if Tahir claims his career-best figures against Stuart Broad's men.

Cookin with The Columns: Sweet and refreshing
It seems to me that lemonade is the perfect drink for the summertime. It's cool, a little sweet, a little tart, and very refreshing.
I especially love the lemonade at Chick-Fil-A. I have made lemonade pies for years and make them a lot in the spring or summer. But this recipe for lemonade cake caught my eye in a church cookbook and it has two people's names on it. Obviously two ladies sent in the same recipe, so it has to be good, right?

Golfsmith, a Top 500 retailer, says revenue declined 11% in Q1.
Canadian multichannel retailer Golf Town is acquiring Golfsmith International Holdings Inc., the companies have announced. Golf Town is a specialty golf retailer based in Canada, where it operates more than 50 stores and an e-commerce site. Golfsmith, No. 209 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide, sells online at Golfsmith.com, through 78 Golfsmith stores and a catalog.
Golf Town began breaking into the U.S. market last year. It operates six stores in the Boston area. The companies say the deal will create the world's largest specialty golf retailer. The purchase is subject to regulatory approval but is expected to close in the third quarter. The firm that owns Golf Town, Omers Private Equity, would not confirm reports that the deal is worth nearly $97 million.
"Golfsmith is a company that we have admired for years," says Don Morrison, senior managing director of Omers Private Equity. "This transaction will give us a formidable footprint in North America and will also provide a strong platform for future growth."
Golfsmith CEO Martin Hanaka will be CEO of the combined companies; it was unclear if both companies would operate under a single name. Sue Grove, who is president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of Golfsmith, will become president and chief operating officer of the combined companies. Ron Hornbaker, currently the interim CEO of Golf Town, will become executive vice president of stores.
"We hold Golf Town in the highest regard and believe them to be an ideal partner to take Golfsmith to the next stage of growth," Hanaka says. Internet Retailer estimates Golfsmith generated $78.3 million in web sales last year.
Today, Golfsmith reported that net revenue for the first quarter ended March 31 was $90.5 million, up 11% from $81.5 million for the same period last year. The retailer's net loss stood at $3.6 million in the first quarter, compared with a $3.1 million loss for the same period last year.

WWE Hall of Fame Announces It Will Induct the Ultimate Warrior (w/ VIDEO)
Hall of Fame time.
While we are a mere few weeks away from the Super Bowl, we are also just a few months away from Wrestlemania. Both events represent the mecca of their respective genre.
In the 29 years its been existence, WWE's Wrestlemania has essentially morphed into the Super Bowl of professional wrestling, not only from the standpoint of sheer magnitude of the event itself (This year's Wrestlemania will sell out the Superdome in New Orleans.), but also the events surrounding the pay per view card.
While Super Bowl has its radio row, various parties, and announcement of that year's Hall of Fame class, Wrestlemania has various parties, a fan fest, and the actual induction of the WWE's Hall of Fame class, which is gradually unveiled and announced over the preceding few months on WWE television.
2014's WWE Hall of Fame class started off with a bang this past Monday, as WWE (somewhat surprisingly) announced that The Ultimate Warrior would be its first inductee in the Class of 2014.
I say parenthetically that it's somewhat surprising because the relationship between Warrior (which is now actually Jim Hellwig's legal name, Hellwig being the man behind the character) and WWE has been hot and cold going back to virtually the beginning of his career there in late 1987, when he entered the company under the name "Dingo Warrior," his gimmick in World Class Championship Wrestling based out of Dallas.
Incidentally, my favorite moment from Warrior's WCCW career probably didn't occur in the ring. It occurred in these magical thirty seconds in this car commercial for a Dallas area automobile dealership:
Warrior's WWE career really took off at Summer Slam 1988, when he was the last minute replacement for Brutus Beefcake as challenger to then Intercontinental Champion Honky Tonk Man and ended Honky Tonk Man's 15 month reign as champion in 27 seconds:
The next major uptick in Warrior's WWE career occurred in early 1990, when during his second Intercontinental title reign, he was plugged into a program with then heavyweight champion Hulk Hogan and the two entered a rare-at-the-time babyface versus babyface feud which was heavily promoted with an appearance onThe Arsenio Hall Show
...and maniacal promos like this one where Warrior, for some reason, wants to crash Hulk Hogan's plane (not exactly babyface behavior)....
....before culminating in this match at Wrestlemania 6 at Skydome in Toronto...
The match itself was actually pretty good (and heavily, like move by move, scripted, with almost no improv), as you can see in the above video.
Hulk Hogan then left the company to go make movies, and Warrior was left to carry WWE (then WWF) through the summer and fall of 1990. Eventually, he would lose the heavyweight title to the American turncoat edition of Sergeant Slaughter at Royal Rumble 1991 and enter a feud with Macho King Randy Savage, which culminated with the second watchable match of Warrior's career, a retirement match against Savage at Wrestlemania 7...
The balance of Warrior's WWE career involved random feuds with Papa Shango, the Undertaker, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, all of which were more watchable for Warrior's insane, meandering, nonsensical promos than for the matches themselves. (Warrior would return briefly in 1996 and go to WCW in 1999 in his final two stints in the big leagues, each as ugly as they were unmemorable.)
So why not just cut to the chase?
The most fun part of the Warrior character was the nonsense he spewed in promoting matches. Eventually, the only thing to do is just go ahead and search "Ultimate Warrior insane" on YouTube, and have literally hours worth of guilty pleasure viewing. Enjoy these, and congratulations to the Ultimate Warrior, and all of his little warriors out there. The heavens and the earth can sleep tight tonight.
