In July 2013, Agility's research released results of an extensive research that surveyed 18 to 35 year old female respondents from China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. A total of 560 respondents participated in the online-administered research initiative of Agility Research & Strategy in May-June 2013. As a result of this initiative, Agility Research & Strategy introduces the Affluent Asian Woman Consumer.
Asia's affluent are young and growing. About 50% of them are women who are definitely using money to buy elements of everyday happiness. As the gap between women's and men's income decreases, they are reaping the financial and social gains of a more equitable environment. Young Affluent women are active in the workplace; they have a greater proportion of disposable income and have the financial power to buy luxury and premium brands. The wealth figures go beyond gender equity as Asian women top the list among women entrepreneurs. Woman consumers from China are dominating the purchase of luxury goods while the luxury carmakers in India are chasing the young, female, affluent drivers. With such financial power behind them, the Affluent Asian female has certainly become the quintessential example of the next big consumer segment for brands to focus on. This 35-pager in-depth report focuses on the luxury perceptions, willingness to pay and brands of choice among Affluent Asian Women. (Click here for report details)

Overview of EPA Authorities for Natural Resource Managers Developing Aquatic Invasive Species Rapid Response and Management Plans: FIFRA Section 24(c)-Special Local Need Registrations
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
- What is FIFRA Section 24(c)?
- When does FIFRA Section 24(c) apply to AIS rapid response or control actions?
- How do I apply for a FIFRA Section 24(c) Registration?
- FIFRA Section 24(c) Case Study: Controlling Old World Climbing Fern in Florida
What is FIFRA Section 24(c)?
FIFRA Section 24(c) authorizes states to register an additional use of a Federally-registered pesticide product or a new end use product to meet a special local need. (For EPA guidance on FIFRA Section 24(c) registrations, see www.epa.gov/opprd001/24c.)
When does FIFRA Section 24(c) apply to AIS rapid response or control actions?
AIS rapid response or control methods using pesticides must comply with FIFRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If a pesticide is already registered for the rapid response or control use under FIFRA, the action does not require additional permitting from EPA. There are several pesticides registered for use in aquatic environments, and natural resource managers may be able to rely on these pesticides to eradicate or control AIS. If the rapid response or control action requires the use of an unregistered pesticide or a pesticide registered for a different end use or use pattern and a state can demonstrate a special local need, FIFRA Section 24(c) authorizes a state to register an additional use of a Federally-registered pesticide product. Section 24(c) registrations are also referred to as state labels or special local need registrations and are considered Federal registrations authorizing distribution and use within the granting state only.
State registrations under Section 24(c) are subject to EPA's regulations at 40 CFR Part 162. A general summary follows.
States may register a new use or use pattern of a Federally-registered pesticide if all of the following conditions exist:
There is a special local need for the use within the state. A special local need is an existing or imminent pest problem within a state for which the state has determined that an appropriate Federally-registered pesticide is not sufficiently available.
If the pesticide use is a food or feed use, there must exist appropriate tolerances (maximum amount of pesticide residue allowed in or on a food or feed commodity) or exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under Section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). If these tolerances do not already exist, a Section 24(c) registration cannot be used, and a Section 18 emergency exemption may be more appropriate. Under FFDCA Section 408, EPA may establish a temporary tolerance or exemption from the tolerance requirement for a Section 18 emergency exemption.
Registration for the same use has not previously been denied, disapproved, suspended or canceled by EPA, or voluntarily canceled by the registrant subsequent to EPA issuing a notice of intent to cancel that registration because of health or environmental concerns, unless such denial, disapproval, suspension or cancellation has been superseded by a subsequent EPA action.
The registration is in accord with the purposes of FIFRA.
How do I apply for a FIFRA Section 24(c) Registration?
Each state designs its own review process and timeline for state pesticide registration. As part of its review process, each state is required to conduct an ecological risk assessment (ERA) to determine if the pesticide will cause unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment under the following circumstances:
- the pesticide's composition is not similar to any Federally-registered pesticide
- the use of the pesticide is not similar to any Federally-registered use of the same pesticide or a pesticide of similar composition
- EPA has denied, disapproved, suspended, or canceled registration of other uses of the same pesticide or uses of pesticides of similar composition
All products registered by a state must meet all appropriate packaging standards and might need to be classified as restricted use if their toxicity exceeds EPA specific hazard criteria. Depending on the length of time needed to conduct an ERA, Section 24(c) pesticide registrations requiring an ERA may be more useful for ongoing control of AIS rather than for carrying out AIS rapid response actions. If a state decides to issue a Section 24(c) registration, it must send EPA a notification package within 10 days of issuing a registration containing the following:
- an application for the Section 24(c) registration
- verification of a special local need
- if required, a determination of no unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment
- verification of efficacy for public health uses
- the original registered labeling and the Section 24(c) labeling of the pesticide; and
- notification of state pesticide registration describing:
- tolerances or clearances for food or feed use
- type of registration, i.e. new pesticide or changed use pattern
- history of previous Section 24(c) activity or registration for the pesticide
- list of threatened or endangered species within use area of pesticide
EPA has 90 days to verify that the special local need registration meets FIFRA requirements. If EPA subsequently disapproves the registration, sales and distribution must stop immediately.
FIFRA Section 24(c) Case Study: Controlling Old World Climbing Fern in Florida
Old World climbing fern Lygodium microphyllum is an aggressive perennial vine that has invaded cypress stands, pine flatwoods, wet prairies, sawgrass marshes, mangrove communities, and Everglade tree islands in Florida. The vine can reach 90 feet in length and form dense mats in tree canopies, on the ground, and over wetlands, killing native vegetation. The first reported occurrence of Old World climbing fern in Florida was a plant in cultivation at a Delray Beach nursery in 1958. In 1960, the vine was observed in the wild in Martin County. Old World climbing fern eventually became a severe threat to native Florida ecosystems, especially cypress-dominated wetlands, and in the 1990s, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) began evaluating methods of controlling the vine, including herbicides, fire, flooding, physical removal by hand or machinery, and biological controls.
Aerial spraying of herbicides is one of the most effective means of controlling invasive plants in remote or otherwise inaccessible areas, but may involve the application of herbicide directly to water. Old World climbing fern had invaded many remote and inaccessible areas in Florida, and aerial spraying was desired to control the vine in those areas. At the time, the most effective product for controlling the vine registered for direct application to water was the glyphosate-based herbicide RodeoT, a broad spectrum herbicide that injures or kills many nontarget species. To avoid harming other vegetation in Old World climbing fern-infested areas, SFWMD sought alternatives to Rodeo. The District found that application of the herbicide Escort XPT, a metsulfuron methyl-based product, directly to water showed promise as an effective means to control the vine. The application of Escort XP directly to water was not a registered use for the product and was therefore not in compliance with FIFRA. To use Escort XP for vine control, the SFWMD pursued a Section 24(c) special local need registration for the herbicide.
Florida natural resource managers wishing to control invasive plants often informally consult weed management experts at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Science (IFAS) to determine optimal control methods. The SFWMD contacted IFAS about the Old World climbing fern, and in April 2003, IFAS informally contacted the DuPont Corporation, the manufacturer of Escort XP, about using the herbicide to control Old World climbing fern in aquatic ecosystems. In Florida, pesticide manufacturers generally begin the Section 24(c) special local need registration process on behalf of natural resource managers who want to use one of their pesticide products for a new use or use pattern. Consequently, in May 2003, DuPont submitted a Section 24(c) special local need registration application to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS), the lead state agency for pesticide registration. Section 24(c) special local need registration applications in Florida must include verification of the product's efficacy under Florida or Florida-like conditions, as well as the information described in the FIFRA Section 24(c) section of this document.
After DACS received the Section 24(c) special local need registration application, it reviewed the application to verify the special local need justification. In June 2003, DACS forwarded the application to the Florida Pesticide Registration Evaluation Committee (PREC), which is comprised of representatives from DACS and other state agencies. PREC reviewed the Section 24(c) special local need registration application to ensure that the proposed herbicide use would not have unreasonable adverse impacts on human health or the Florida environment and was in compliance with all applicable pesticide laws. PREC requested that DuPont make several revisions to the Escort XP Section 24(c) special local need label. After these revisions were made, the application was submitted to IFAS for independent external review of whether product label efficacy claims were justified. Three IFAS weed management experts offered individual opinions on the Escort XP efficacy claims. On the basis of these opinions, IFAS responded to DACS that it supported the Section 24(c) special local need registration of the herbicide but also requested additional changes to the product label.
In Florida, the Section 24(c) special local need registration application review process can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. In this case, the process was completed quickly. DACS accepted DuPont's Section 24(c) special local need registration with the revised label and submitted a notification package to EPA in August 2003. EPA also requested revisions to the Escort XP Section 24(c) special local need label, including the addition of a section prohibiting the use of the herbicide in areas where specific endangered or threatened species are present. In December 2003, DACS accepted the revised product label. The herbicide is now available for controlling Old World climbing fern populations in aquatic environments in Florida.

Ohio high school football playoffs: West Liberty-Salem 21, Summit Country Day 13
From the very first play, No. 6 West Liberty-Salem was on.
The Tigers edged Summit Country Day, 21-13 on Friday.
The Tigers' Taylor Cordell scored on a 9-yard touchdown that capped off a 79-yard drive three minutes into the game to put them up, 7-0.
By the time the first play of the second quarter was in the books, West Liberty-Salem had posted 21 unanswered points and left the Silver Knights in a daze.
Cordell set the tone, finishing the night with 112 yards and a pair of first-quarter touchdowns. It was his work on defense hounding SCD senior quarterback Antonio Woods all evening long that really fueled the team's fire.
The Tigers (10-2) sacked Woods six times and pressured him into two interceptions. The game plan was to make him uncomfortable and it was executed to perfection by the Tigers.
Woods wasn't about to go quietly. A pair of second-half touchdowns passes to classmate Daniel Bruns kept SCD close. The last one came with 4:14 left in the contest to make the score 21-13.
Summit Country Day recovered the ensuing onside kick. With the Knights back in business, West Liberty-Salem turned to their defense once more and Kameron Evans picked off Woods to end the threat.
Time would run out on Summit Country Day and Woods' career, but not before he left a legacy that saw the program make four straight postseason appearances and nab its first wins in Week 11 while he was under center.
The victory marks the first time in school history that West Liberty-Salem has advanced to the Regional finals. The Tigers will face OHC league rival Mechanicsburg (10-2) for the Region 22 title.
The Indians beat WL-S, 32-22 during the regular season.

Travel Spotting: Haunted House Round-UpBy Tanner • Oct 30th, 2011 • Category: Decor, FOOD AND TRAVEL, HOME AND REAL ESTATE, Residential
Halloween is upon us, and in celebration, I've compiled here my 5 favorite haunted houses to get you in the mood! As I was doing my research, I got to thinking: 1. why is every haunted house so big?! The inhabitants of these monstrous mansions are ghosts for goodness sakes – can they truly appreciate or do they even need all that space? Another thing, if these houses weren't so poorly looked after, they would be beautiful homes! So common Casper, get your ish together and stop scheming on how you can passive aggressively spook people to leave your place and get to work on some much need, long over-due home improvement. via

The University of Southern Mississippi Alumni Association, in conjunction
with the University Bookstore, will unveil the new official ring
for the university community Oct. 30 during a special ceremony on
the Southern Miss campus.
Adorned with
images and icons from the university, the official ring captures
the traditions of Southern Miss and the link between the Hattiesburg
and Gulf Park campuses.
"The launching
of the Southern Miss official ring program is an exciting initiative,"
said Bob Pierce, Southern Miss Alumni Association executive director.
"We have partnered with the University Bookstore to create
a program that offers a single identifiable ring for all of our
students and alumni. We expect the ring will become a virtual 'walking
diploma' for all Golden Eagles so that everyone who sees the ring
will quickly realize the wearer is from Southern Miss."
The project
is part of a larger initiative to promote the history and traditions
of the university and is the result of almost two years of work
and joint efforts by the Alumni Association and University Bookstore.
A committee composed of students, faculty, staff and alumni collaborated
on the design of the official ring, which will replace the more
than 30 different versions of class rings currently available on
the two Southern Miss campuses.
Margie Heltzel,
a member of the official ring committee and the current president
of The Legacy, the student alumni organization, said. "The
official ring captures the spirit of Southern Miss. The images on
the ring define our experiences on campus."
The ring design
will be unveiled at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30 at the Aubrey
K. Lucas Administration Building as part of the Homecoming Week
festivities. Southern Miss students and alumni who meet the ordering
requirements will have an opportunity to order a ring directly after
the unveiling ceremony. Any student who has completed 60 credit
hours, including a minimum of 30 from Southern Miss, and is in good
academic standing, may purchase a ring.
will also be on campus to take orders for the official ring Nov.
17-20 and Jan. 26-28, 2004, during ring order events. The first
group of official rings will be presented in a ceremony on March
30, 2004, as part of the university's ninety-fourth Founders' Day
celebration. Southern Miss President Dr. Shelby Thames will be the
first recipient of the official ring at the inaugural ring presentation
ceremony in March.
ring presentation ceremonies will be held annually as part of the
Founders' Day festivities. Marcus Nause, manager of programs for
the Southern Miss Alumni Association, believes the ring presentations
will enhance the observance of the anniversary of the institution.
"I had the opportunity to visit the ring presentation ceremony
at University of Texas at Austin several months ago, and it certainly
plays a role in building a bond between the students and their alma
mater," Nause said. "We plan on creating a ring ceremony
that will further enhance our Founders' Day events and will have
deep meaning to those who decide to purchase the official ring."
For the first
year of the program, students and alumni may trade in their current
Southern Miss rings, regardless of manufacturer, and have them recast
into the new official ring at no charge. For more information on
the official ring program, contact Marcus Nause at 266-5357 or email@example.com.

guest commentary by Jerry Huff, Sebastian County election coordinator
To borrow the title line from an old movie, Sebastian County will go "Back to the Future" when it begins tabulating votes precinct-by-precinct after the Nov. 2 General Election.
The precinct is the basic building block not only for elections but also for representative government. Indeed, the ballots in the first election after Sebastian County's founding in 1851 almost certainly were counted by hand in each precinct after the polls closed with the results and ballots delivered to the courthouse.
As the county grew, new precincts were added. The idea was for each precinct to grow until it had approximately the same number of voters as others with a semblance of balance restored every 10 years using data from the just-completed U.S. Census.
Over time urbanization and technology coalesced to change election procedure. Several precincts could be grouped at one polling site and votes tabulated by machine before delivery to the courthouse.
Today, Sebastian County has 91 precincts attached to 45 polling sites in different areas of the county. Most polling sites have only one or two precincts with notable exceptions such as Creekmore Park with four precincts and the high-growth Rye Hill area with nine precincts. Rye Hill, no doubt, will be split into at least two polling sites as part of redistricting next year.
Modern politics forced most states back to precinct-by-precinct vote tabulation several years ago, with many states – primarily the larger, most heavily populated – never straying. After all, political parties, pollsters, political scientists and junkies, candidates, office holders and, most importantly, lobbyists, want access to the demographic profiles of voters precinct-by-precinct, not the skewed results from a group of precincts.
Pulaski County, which uses the same voting equipment as Sebastian, returned to precinct-by-precinct vote tabulation four years ago when the federal government forced just about every county in the country to purchase new voting machines (and picked up 95% of the tab with states paying the remaining 5%). Since then, the state and federal governments have "encouraged" Sebastian County to do the same.
The final straw came when the Arkansas Secretary of State told Sebastian County its Nov. 2 General Election results would not transfer to the statewide web totals unless they were tabulated precinct-by-precinct. Also, look for the Arkansas General Assembly to pass a law next year requiring precinct-by-precinct vote tabulation.
If you vote at your polling place on Nov. 2, nothing will change. You will have your choice of marking a paper ballot and running it through a tabulator before leaving or using an electronic voting machine.
Early voting is another matter. Each Sebastian paper ballot tabulator memory card will hold a maximum of 10 precincts, which means it would take 10 of the machines to tabulate votes from the 91 precincts – the number of machines doubles when you consider that early voting occurs in two courthouses. Each machine can handle up to 35 different ballots, more than enough for the max of 25 needed under Sebastian County's current method of voting.
The electronic voting machines used in Sebastian County can handle the 91 ballots needed for all precincts. So early voting in Sebastian County will be only by electronic voting machine, the same method as that used in Pulaski County. Incidentally, voting in neighboring Crawford County is all electronic.
Ten electronic voting machines will be set up for early voting in the Sebastian County Courthouse. Five will be set up in Greenwood.
Vote as you please on Nov. 2, but please vote.

Microsoft ActiveSync User Reviews
out of 151 user reviews
"Worse than useless -- a user-unfriendly time-waster"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Nothing to like about this product.
Active Synch has been a nightmare: it has loaded and then deleted contacts, tasks, email, notes and calendar items from my phones on an evidently random basis. In just two days, Active Synch has stalled five times, deleted everything it loaded.
Would not buy the product. It came loaded 'free''on my HTC phones and I wish it hadn't. The app has so far wasted several hours of my time to no good purpose. The software wasn't actually ''free'' -- it actually has proven to be nothing but a time-waster and that costs me money.
I'm shopping for new synch software.
"This is rubbish!"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
nothing at all
Connect the mobile to usb it start deleting your updated data on your mobile automatically, doesn't even ask if you want to replace the data in pc or mobile! more over sometimes I don't want sync at all, I connect to copy pictures to pc!
This is the most stupid program ever! Remained me Sony's stupid programs they give free with their more stupid cameras and then offer you to buy a real software!!! Try to find alternative!
"Microsoft Active Sync"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
For older operating systems, active sync is required to sych various devices with you computer. Once installed and it recognizes a new device, it could not be simpler to do. I needed it for my Samsung Jack (i637) and it synced flawlessly and easily.
None as its a very effective sync application
Once installed and it recognizes a devise to be synced with you computer, it could not be easier. It asks what you want backed up and sets up a folder and subfolders in my documents and sychs the contents between your device and your computer. It then checks for any changes made and resyncs accordingly every time the device is plugged into your computer.Forgot to mention that Active sync is for Win Xp and older Microsoft Operating Systems. Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista and Windows 7 (Updated for these operating systems but otherwise does the same job)
Updated on Nov 17, 2009
"This product is not ready!"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
On a simple straight forward level, it works fine.
The program only works if you only enter data on/from one device.
BUT; if you try to sync with say, a laptop AND desktop, or similar, you are going to have problems. If you add info to your desktop, and your phone, the program won't let you update and save your latest entries, it will only go computer to mobile device, or the other way. So, if you enter data in the "field" and at the desk, when you "sync", you are going to lose information. Now if you add data to your mobile device, laptop, and desktop, your going to lose the new data on two of these. Also, at times the program has frozen during a sync, and all, ALL the information on the target side is lost! (ie, all the contacts and settings on my phone...) When outlook data was transfered from my desktop to my new HTC touch HD, and then tried to sync to my laptop, all the contacts on my laptop not perfectly identical were doubled. Then when I deleted the ?relationship? with my desktop on my phone, activesync deleted ALL of my contacts, emails, and notes that were ever affiliated with my desktop. User beware!
"Constantly becomes useless, frequent uploads required"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
This syncing tool is pretty good. It syncs what I check off and is done quickly.
After a few syncs (both my Vista Home Prem local pc & WinXP sp3, network pc) on either pc, I have to uninstall and reload it. Works well but goes bad quickly. Using ActiveSync for more than a year and its failures are soooo frustrating.
If you have to use this for your Windows phone OS, you'll have to get used to uninstalling and installing it with frequent regularity.
"good! it will do what it says it can do"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
smooth transfer between hrdware
nothing springs out to say bad
"In one word - dog crap!"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
No - Can't think of anything! Only a mother could like this monster!
The software does not work 50% of the time. The fact that Microsoft has an inbuilt trouble shooter tells you that even Microsoft does not expect it to work most of the time.
It sometimes refuses to sync your device with anything. No reason is given.
Buy the iPhone, Mac OS, Linux, Google Android but not this crap.
"ok--have used it b4"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
when it reconizes my ppc it*s great
about every 6 times it won*t work
latest vista doesn^t use it but I need it for my ppc--the new deal will not work
"Couldn't use as I have Vista, needed Windows Download"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Windows Download 6.1 works very well with my older Moto Q.
None really
Functionality is great, transfers are quick, good product.
"ok app, needs more OS coverage"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Not a bad app for Windows Mobile
Only works on Windows Mobile, looking for an app that is supported on multiple phones. Try mSync which is part of mTools suite. http://mtools.guiang.net

'It's a pretty big deal': Local dogs invited to national competition
SWEET HOME, Ore. - Earning show ribbons is nothing new for German Shorthaired Pointers Cash and Destiny.
Owner Kirsten Fulk has been showing Cash and Destiny since they were puppies.
Around the house, you can see evidence of their success, from ribbons to photos.
Now, they're preparing for the big leagues, the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
"You have to be invited and there's certain criteria that you have to have to be invited," said Fulk.
Handlers Cheyenne Schlecht and Kory Wickoff will help show them in the ring.
"It's not just a national championship, it's an internationally known event, and everyone wants to come out," said Schlecht.
The dogs were two of 30 in their breed invited to compete.
"It's a little less glamorous than it all look from TV," said Schlecht. "There's a lot that goes into it day and night all week long."
The dogs go through a rigorous routine to prepare. They're exercised and groomed daily.
"This is really what we work toward all year, this and Westminister in New York," said Wickoff.
This is Destiny's third time invited back to compete. She'll be showing newbie Cash the ropes.
"I've been working with him since he was a puppy and now he's 11 1/2 years-old and seeing him going to the national championship is really exciting for me," said Schlecht.
No one knows how they'll do, but all three agree, it's an honor just to be able to show in the ring.
"We're out there trying to get an invitation to it, so when you do, it's a cool thing," said Wickoff.
The championship will be held December 17 and 18.
It will be nationally televised on February 4, 2012.

Please note that the photo shows the case with the probe not wired correctly, with the correct position right at the caps I see a |Z| of 0.3R at 10Mhz with an inductive slope (using the 220nF curve). This amounts to a equivalent inductance of 0.3/(2pi*10Mhz) = 5nH which looks not to far off for a 5mm lead spacing, connected right at the cap (probably too low from overcompensation, see below).
The non-perfectly inductive behaviour at higher freqs is from a) running only 75R as the current source and b) having used a 10R 0207 for normalization -- again right at the resistor body -- of the setup (including the probe of course), which will be slightly inductive at some point and thusly will overcompensate.
So it's not a fully confident measurement, agreed, but OTOH it is not that far off to render it useless, and the relative relationships are not affected much at all.

update on the parallel caps measurements.
I've build a small test jig using a piece of double sided blank PCB inserted into a coaxial cable to start with a few pF of PCB capacitance, attaching the caps along the edges for lowest possible inductance that can be had with their case style:
Reference value for the DB scale is 1R as before, but I widened the freq. range from 100Hz to 100MHz, and freq. linearity was checked with a 1206 1R and was found to be neglegible at the vertical scaling used, only a few dB down at the highest freqs. (hence no normalizing needed). Also the 50R mismatch of the cable proved irrelevant.
A set of capacitors was found im my parts bin that gave a smooth and low impedance. The 1000uF was not a PanaFC but a specimen with 10dB lower ESR (almost down to 10mR), then I added WIMA MKS2 with 3u3, 220nF and an unidentified ceramic with 22nF(IIRC). Further addition of a set of 3 220u PanaFC smoothed and lowered things again and this is the final result :
This cap bank results in an impedance magnitude lower than 30mR from 4kHz to 10Mhz, going down to 10mR and not exceeding 20mR for the most part. Using the GND pigtail (see photo above) to fully short the caps resulted in only 5dB lower impedance at high freqs (with the HF sighature of the caps still seen) so this is the inductive baseline that can be had with this type of construction (and baseline dropped 6dB with another pigtail short as expected).
Shown for comparison is a short with 2pcs of thin solder wire (as it has some resistance, here to be found at ~6mR and was confirmed with a 4-wire measurement with my Keithley 191). Both the "cap jig" curve and the "short" curve show perfect capacitve and inductive slopes, resp., confirming the bulk capacitance value (~1500uF) and the inductance of the solder wire short (4nH looks OK for this 2 sections of ~1cm wire length).
The rise a LF for the solder wire short is coming from carrier residual leakage it seems (as I'm on right on the edge of the analyser's lower freq range of 100Hz as spec'd.)
Not shown here, the bad influence of too small caps was noted, adding eg 4n7 showed a much peakier/ragged response in the 10Mhz++ region, giving more than 20dB impedance variations within an octave or so of frequency.
To check any influence of the High-Z probe I did a comparison, too. The setup :
And the result :
Nothing to worry about, the active Probe seems a bit noisier (it also has 10dB loss which is acounted for automatically by the analyser) and has a bit more inductance above 20Mhz if the GND lead is bent such as to minimize inductance. The W&G-guys did a good job there, I'd say. Again with the large scale displayed any small transfer function error of the probe, while present, is irrelevant.
A network analyser is a really powerful tool, any tiny variantion of resistance, capacitance and inductance is readily seen (eg I saw ESR rise when the 1000uF cooled down after soldering). I'll do many more experiments as time permits and will share any noteworthy findings (new thread in the power supply forum, then).

I don't mean to be critical, but you should shorten the leads to more 'accurate' measurements. The extra inductance that you are adding by keeping the very long leads should DOMINATE the inductance of the measurement.

John, you input is welcome of course. Are you talking about the GND lead of the probe or is it about another specific part of the jig (I can't figure it out)?
Eyeballing from the plots I see an inductive slope with a Z of about .3R @ 10Mhz which is quite smallish ~0.5nH total residual inductance for the whole shebang, even with a say +-10dB uncertanity I wouldn't speak of that dominating the measurement?

Yes, very nice work, good to see the LTspice exercises being confirmed so clearly. Personally, I would like to see 1mR at 100kHz, and then working carefully to keep below 10mR as you progress higher in frequency; I think 100mR at 100MHz, 1R at 1GhZ is about the best one can do unless you go crazy with RF techniques, etc.

Thanks, Frank.
Now I'm finally able to back-match my sims to reality. I'll try building a few "super cap strips" with 10000uF bulk capacitance next where I will try to reach for your goal. It'll sure tackle my skills and that of the SNA-2 analyser, with its 180Mhz spec'd limit.

In the New Testament, we find the phrase, "in spirit and in truth" used frequently in the KJV. We also see Jesus telling the Pharisees that there were as "whited tombs, clean on the outside but full of unclean death on the inside" (I paraphrase to get the point across). It is important to know what the law, the Pharisees, and "in spirit and in truth" mean.
To understand, we must first understand Tanakh, Torah, and Talmud. We must first understand the Pharisees and their doctrinal position.
The Torah is what we Christians generally refer to as "The Books of Moses" or Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
The Tanakh is what we refer to as the "Old Testament" and when something seems contradictory to "Torah" in the minor prophets and histories, then "Torah" wins out.
The Talmud is the collection of discussions about the Torah and Tanakh. Originally the Talmud was a verbal thing, but due to the various diaspora events suffered by the Jewish people, the Talmud was recorded, and bit by bit, line by line, the law was built.
This is the environment in which Christ came to walk with his people. The Pharisees had taken God's laws, and placed additional rules before them just to be safe. The verse, "don't boil a kid in its mother's milk" gradually became, "never serve meat and dairy in the same meal."
The examples of this can go on and on, but this is what Jesus was referring to when he said that the Pharisees put grievous burdens on men, while not being burdened themselves.
So what is the purpose of the Law? The purpose of the law is to condemn, to allow Satan, the accuser, to point to the law and say, "See here! this is the violation, and the just punishment is death!"
And that is why our Lord and Savior had to die, to fulfill the law.
And once the law was fulfilled, what purpose does the Law have in someone bought and redeemed by Christ's shed blood? We see Peter and Paul no longer keeping the dietary restrictions, yet we see Paul ensuring Timothy was circumcised? Especially in the light that we read that the gentile believers have no need to be circumcised. But let us take a look at what Jesus says about the Law and the Lawyers.
Matthew 23:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
In the same Sermon Jesus taught his followers to obey the Pharisees, who taught the Law, but he taught that the becoming a Pharisee would make you a child of hell. How can this be? The Law does not save. The Law condemns. The Law is there to point to our imperfections and desperate need for a Savior. The Law is uncompromising because we need Mercy from one who wrote the Law.
Legalism is death and damnation. The righteousness of the law is nothing. A living relationship with God is what is required for life. The Bible is clear on this point.
John Chapter 4:
Notice that the law is not mentioned.
Galatians chapter 5.
Paul was making the point that the law is always against something, prohibiting something. The law is silent on the fruits of the spirit, because it has no power to stop anyone from a relationship with God through Christ.
James chapter 5
John chapter 7
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
This is why I don't kill witches or stone adulterers. Because Jesus didn't. Jesus helped the possessed, offered forgiveness to the adulterers. The law is harsh, mercy is outside the scope of the law.
If you have the opportunity to save a sinners life, but don't do that because they are a sinner, is that righteous judgement? If you have the opportunity to stand up for every persons right to find God as individuals, and you don't, is that righteous judgement? If you want to sit in Moses' seat and argue the law, by all means that is your choice, but know that focusing on the Law is focusing on the trivial.
Jesus is the law of life. He is the law of mercy, and kindness, and doing good to those that do not deserve it. And when we say that "I will not fight for your liberty, you immoral person" we are blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. In essence that is passing judgement on another soul condemning them to death instead of allowing them more time to get to know God before the grave robs the of any more chances.
Where there is life there is hope, and our actions speak so much louder than our words. If we are a cold, judgmental people, our faith is clearly dead. If we accept people with their faults, show kindness, mercy, forgiveness, and are a living example of an imperfect person seeking perfection, that is faith proven by works.

This town was founded some centuries earlier by a Hindu hermit who supposedly saw a vision of one of the many Hindu gods (one guess as to what he ACTUALLY saw).
Up on the top of a nearby rocky-top mountain is a large temple complex, yet another place for pilgrims to go to seek a religious experience. It too charges an entrance fee…Hindu temples are big business in India. Some of the monks or others who run them become very wealthy from the pilgrim donations. We didn't go up to the temple, but we could see it from the town down below. It is reminiscent of perhaps one of the Greek Orthodox monasteries at Patmos…sprawling and gleaming white in the sun.
The town at the foot of the mountain was compact, with a narrow main street that was lined with stalls selling Hindu votive items…cards and posters of the gods, scarves, sandals, and colorfully cheap plastic junk undoubtedly imported from China. Since the day we visited was a national holiday (Republic Day), it is likely that the crowds filling the streets were enjoying the day off by shopping. Many were also pilgrims who had come to do whatever at the temple on the mountain, then come back to the town for rest and relaxation.
The Yadagirigutta economy was stimulated primarily by pilgrim traffic; not only could one buy toys and devotional items there, you could have someone help you get a meal, find a room, score some alcohol or procure you a prostitute. These procurers were known locally as 'pimps', and could be either male or female. (It was a curious aspect of these pilgrims that they were very religious/superstitious, but not particularly moral.)
We took a left turn down one of the side lanes of the town, past the 'red light district', the rows of ground floor apartments where the prostitutes plied their trade. We were travelling with a pastor's wife, just so that no one would get the wrong impression about why we were visiting. As we drove by, there were several young women standing in doorways of the apartments, smiling and looking very pretty, decorated with gold jewelry and flowing saris. I noticed them, but didn't make eye contact. These were the prostitutes that serviced the men who came to Yadagirigutta.
Another left turn down an even narrower alley, and we stopped in front of the only Christian church in the village. Called "The Well Of Life Church", it is a small white building with one large room and a small side room. This building was sponsored by a well-known Christian radio teacher from the United States. Shortly after the construction of the church, the town council approved a measure which bans the further construction or establishment of any other Christian church in Yadagirigutta. So, until that ruling might be overturned, The Well of Life Church will be the only Christian witness in a town of Hindus.
Brother Samuel runs the church and serves as its pastor; he is a white haired, white bearded man in his late 50's, and the Well Of Life exists primarily to minister to the needs of the children born of the local prostitutes.
The sad fact is that most if not all of the women caught up in prostitution have no other marketable skills, and thus have no other way of earning income to support themselves and their families. The children born of their liaisons will almost certainly follow in their mother's footsteps if no intervening force interrupts the cycle.
But Brother Samuel is providing a way out for most of the girls, if they will come to the church and allow themselves to be ministered to. It isn't a difficult choice really, for Samuel is providing many valuable services to these girls. He provides a basic education for them, and education they would otherwise not receive if they stayed at home with their mothers. He has a feeding program for them (On the day we were visiting with the girls, I saw another volunteer pull out bags of pakoras for the girls as we were leaving). Very importantly, he provides some vocational skills training for these girls, so that they might be able to have a marketable skill, such as sewing, or computer operating. Only then could they be able to leave the town, and support themselves out of the shadow of generational prostitution.
By far the most important service Brother Samuel provides is introducing these girls to the Lord Jesus Christ. This is done through the systematic Bible study program that was introduced through Bible League. Armed with study booklets, these girls come to believe in a God who created them, who loves them, and has plans for their lives…good plans. Most of the girls we met…ages ranging anywhere from mid-teens to early 20's…had heard the Gospel and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
Brianka is one such girl whose life has been changed by learning about and believing in God. Her mother is one of the sex workers in the village, and Kiertie began coming to the church as a way to avoid the inevitable encounters her mother had with the various men who came to their house. (All of the action takes place in the home where the family lives, rather than some hotel room somewhere. The men who pay for sex sometimes abuse and take advantage of the young girls in the home as well…another sad truth about life in Yadagirigutta.)
Brianka had in her adolescence been stricken with 'fits', in which her body would become rigid, her eyes would roll back in her head, and foam would excrete from her mouth. The way they were described made them sound like epileptic seizures of some kind, but whatever they were, they were apparently very frightening to witness. Those who observed them said that it looked as if Brianka was dying.
As the story is told, one night, in the middle of the night, Brianka began having seizures, and, as a way to endure them, she began singing in between bouts. "Jesus Christ is watching me, Jesus Christ has died for me, and my sins have been taken away…" Imagine the disturbing sound of a teenaged girl singing at midnight, the song punctuated by strangled gasps and sobbing. To Brinaka's mother, it was very eerie indeed, and the next day, she went straight to Samuel's house and confronted him.
Brother Samuel was surprised to have the prostitute on his doorstep, waving her fingers in his face, and demanding to know what he had done to her. "Did you cast some spell on her? Why is she singing about this Jesus at midnight?"
Samuel made a gentle response. "We did not do anything to her, honestly. We're just praying for her and asking that Jesus would heal her." This answer was not to the mother's liking.
"No, no, no, I do not want you doing any of that for her," she yelled angrily. "I don't want her coming to this place anymore." Many of the nominal Hindu people of the town had similar reactions to Christianity. They didn't understand it and they didn't want it. But Brianka's mother had no way to keep Brianka from coming back to the church; most of the time, she was too busy entertaining men and trying to earn a few rupees that she didn't or couldn't keep track of her children's whereabouts.
Brianka told Samuel later, "I don't care what my mother says; I want to come to church." And in fact Brianka did continue to attend, and even increased her presence in the small congregation. Not only was she enjoying a basic education, she was learning about the Lord greatly, and becoming increasingly more steadfast in worshipping Him as the only God. She's now 16 years old, and a fully participating member of the Well of Life church. Her faith in Christ has been a great solace to her, even in the midst of difficult times and circumstances. There is hope now that she will one day be able to leave the town with some skill, so that she might start a new life and not be condemned to follow in her mother's footsteps. And the seizures? They have for the most part stopped. Brianka says that while she used to suffer from them once or twice a week, this past year, there has only been one. All Glory to God!

Alzheimer's Support Groups
Sometimes, talking to other individuals who are experiencing similar issues is very helpful. Participants can learn from each other, share the emotional and mental burdens of caregiving, and get needed time to process and explore solutions to problems and concerns. Support groups can provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to do these things.
Explore how spending time with others experiencing similar things can help. Consider joining a local support group.
Support groups (in person) are usually initiated by local agencies such as Councils or Departments on Aging, university departments supporting family caregivers, and/or local agencies providing services for seniors. If the support group is based on helping individuals with specific conditions, the sponsoring group may be an organization dedicated to helping individuals with the condition. Some churches offer informal support as well.
Some caregivers feel that they can't attend a support group because they don't feel comfortable leaving their family member with someone else or they have difficulty finding someone to come in during the time of the group meeting or they cannot pay for someone to come in. Call the local support groups in your area and ask if they provide respite or adult day care services for participants. Some do. And, it might be just the relief you need.
There are also online support groups for caregivers whose responsibilities and/or circumstances make it difficult to leave the home.
Another option, developed by the Washington University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center through a grant from the National Institute on Aging, is called the Alzheimer List Homepage. It ..."is the Internet Gateway for the Alzheimer List (AL), an e-mail based support group for family caregivers, persons with memory loss, and the professionals that serve them. Started in 1994, the AL is an open, public forum for communication about dementia care issues. Once subscribed, list users share questions, thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc., by sending e-mails to the AL email address, and these are, in turn, forwarded to all current members and are also saved in an online archive for later review."
If you have trouble locating a support group designed to help with your needs, contact a local aging agency or the local association associated with a specific condition (such as a Diabetes Association). An online search or a local telephone directory will usually find you the contact information you need. Or, use the contact information provided below.
