Study: BitTorrent music piracy increases album sales
updated 11:16 am EDT, Fri May 18, 2012
Leaked album piracy raised sales by 60 on average
A recent study has found that raised BitTorrent piracy may be related to higher album sales. North Carolina State University assistant professor Robert Hammond monitored prerelease albums being downloaded through BitTorrent and compared the numbers with actual album sales. The investigation is said to have uncovered a direct correlation between the two, albeit minor.
The paper, titled "Profit Leak? Pre-Release File Sharing and the Music Industry", explains how Hammond gathered download statistics from a large private BitTorrent tracker dedicated to music between May 2010 and January 2011, and comparing instances of leaked album downloads against eventual sales. After monitoring 1,095 albums, Hammond noted "The findings suggest that file sharing of an album benefits its sales. I don't find any evidence of a negative effect in any specification using any instrument."
Although the effect is positive to album sales, the increase was found to be 59.6 additional purchases on average. The study did not consider BitTorrent downloads after release, nor does it take into account singles sales more associated with "casual piracy."
Historically, entities such as the RIAA have railed against illegal music downloads, believing them to be damaging music sales. Likewise, the MPAA has done the same for movie downloads, however a similar report in February suggested that movie rips were not affecting box office revenues. [via TorrentFreak]

text: Feinstein to Cruz on Guns: 'I'm Not a Sixth-Grader' Senate panel approves assault weapons ban, but it looks doomed By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Mar 14, 2013 6:01 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (137) (Newser) – It got testy on Capitol Hill today as the Senate Judiciary Committee debated gun legislation. After Ted Cruz suggested that Dianne Feinstein's proposal to ban assault weapons was unconstitutional, she shot back: "I'm not a sixth-grader," reports the Hill. "It's fine you want to lecture me on the Constitution. I appreciate it. Just know I've been here for a long time. I've passed on a number of bills. I've studied the Constitution myself. I am reasonably well-educated, and I thank you for the lecture." As for the actual legislation, the panel passed the ban on about 160 types of assault weapons and on high-capacity ammo clips by a party-line vote of 10-8—but the measure has virtually no chance of passing the full Senate, reports Politico. It will likely show up as an amendment to whatever gun legislation Harry Reid introduces in the coming weeks, meaning it would need a legislative miracle, 60 votes, to succeed, explains AP. Feinstein apologized to Cruz as the hearing ended, notes the Washington Post. "You sort of got my dander up," she said. Cruz told reporters, "It's unfortunate that a question about the Constitution provokes such a strenuous response." [Images (2)] [Videos (1)] Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in a file photo.

Dear Sharon,
Re: Harvey (Freeman) Funeral Gathering
A huge 'thank you' for ensuring Daddy's gathering was the perfect occasion we hoped it would be.
You were all absolutely amazing, thank you Sharon, but then you always are! Sam looked after us as well, along with his colleagues, and was very concerned regularly that I should eat something.
Would you please be kind enough to convey our thanks to the chap and all his catering staff for successfully managing to pull out all the stops at the eleventh hour when our numbers increased as if it was a couple of extra people who arrived on the day unexpectedly! Two cousins I had not seen for years so that was a lovely (and emotional) surprise.
The entire day could not have gone better. We were very pleased with the service, the weather was absolutely glorious, which Daddy would have loved because he could always take the heat.
Then West Lodge excelled themselves. Please convey our compliments and thanks to the chef and his staff for the wonderful array of food which received a lot of praise from family and friends alike.
Daddy always loved West Lodge so it was fitting we should return because we feel it would have been his chosen venue.
Once again our heartfelt thanks for all the kindness shown. Please thank Sam, your lovely assistant who came to our aid and anyone else I may have overlooked.
I will phone you sometime this week as I really feel I wold like to thank you verbally.
I can only begin to imagine how perfect your beautiful daughter's wedding must have been!
Take care and very best wishes.
Joan (Mummy), Brenda, David, Val and Lucy.
June 2015
Dear Louise,
Just to say thank you for all your help in organising matters on Wednesday.
The Service went well and was conducted with great dignity and we were all able to say a respectful goodbye to Dad.
Everything at the West Lodge was superb from start to finish and the Family were able to relax a little secure in the knowledge that everyone was well looked after. The food and drink was marvellous and we received many positive comments about it. If something is worth doing it is worth doing well; it is exactly why the Hunters have been visiting West Lodge Park since the 1960,s.
Thank you again Louise and please also pass on our Families kindest regards to all who contributed in making the day go so well,
With every good wish,
Stephen Hunter

I am writing on behalf of the whole family to thank you for your help and guidance in arranging my sister's funeral gathering. On such a sad occasion it was hugely comforting to know that everything was perfectly organised allowing us to greet Jo's friends and colleagues without worry. All the staff were both friendly and respectful and the Chef and his team produced a lovely afternoon tea which everyone enjoyed.
We have used West Lodge Park hotel many times in the past and, whatever the occasion, it never fails to exceed expectations.

I just wanted to write to thank you for your help and advice with the arrangements for the gathering after my mother's funeral on Wednesday. The whole event ran very smoothly, from the helpful staff and the excellent catering.
I would especially like to thank the staff who personally assisted us during the event, who were discretely efficient and courteous throughout, which was such a help on a difficult day for myself, our family & friends. I'm so sorry that I've already forgotten their names, but I'm sure you will know who they were, so please pass on my thanks to them.
Having held my father's funeral gathering at West Lodge last year, we were please to find that the service provided by West Lodge has continued at the same high levels we received then.
Very best regards,

Celebration of the life of Brenda Friswell - 18 October 2013
Dear Lisa
Just rang your office to thank you personally for your support for Mum's celebration on Friday, which was really superbly done and we are most grateful! I will try you again at the end of the week, as I am working the next couple of days.
I was so busy with my guests on Friday that I didn't really talk to any of your staff or thank them at the time, but this is a good sign to me that everything was under control and the service was unobtrusive! So please thank them for me especially the lady who packed up the leftovers for us to take with us. A few of us stayed in the bar until 10.30 pm listening to the piano - we just didn't want to leave the lovely atmosphere of West Lodge Park. I will be back to tour the Arboretum as soon as I have some time.
I think we still owe you something, but I'm sure you will let us know how much.
Hope to speak to you soon.
best regards

I would like to say a big thank you for the funeral reception you arranged for my family on behalf of my late mother.

August 2012 - Stanley's gathering
On behalf also of Valerie, I would like to say a huge thank you to you and your staff for all the hard work you put into making our gathering for Dad on Thursday such a great success.
When we arrived from the crematorium I worked down the queue for the buffet to remarks of "lovely buffet", "delicious food", "that salmon is lovely". The Buffet looked wonderful, colourful and very inviting.
When I entered the main room there was a happy buzz of chatter and laughter and those who were not part of one of the "groups" so to speak, had been gathered in and included.
Dad would have been delighted - I could imagine him sitting to one side viewing the proceedings and smiling happily.Many thanks once again.

Dear Sharon
I and my family wish to thank you very much for the way in which the Funeral Gathering for my husband was conducted on 24th April. My daughter-in-law, Carol, who was looking after the guests until I and my sons returned from the committal was full of praise, not only for the organisation but the sympathetic, helpful and efficient way in which the staff carried out their duties.
When I arrived it was clear that the guests were being very well looked after and that an excellent tea was being served. I am sure everyone there was very appreciative. There was plenty of room for everyone and this event was made as pleasurable as such an occasion can be.Yours very sincerely

All our friends and family were very complimentary of the setting, refreshments and service received from the hotel and staff. It was a relief for us to know that everything was in hand and being taken care of. We would be grateful if you could pass our sincere thanks to all your colleagues who helped us on the day.With kind regards

Function on 27th January
Dear Helen
Just a quick e-mail to say how pleased we were with the function we held for my deceased brother's funeral gathering on 27th January. The afternoon tea was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The whole process ran very smoothly which was very comforting after the stress of the funeral and looking after my 86 year old parents.
I would like to single out the young man who spent some time serving drinks (I can't remember his name). He overheard me saying that I had forgotten my sat nav and did not know the way back to my brother's house, he immediately offered to get me a copy of a map to help. I thought that this was very good customer service. I did not need the map in the end as I was able to follow someone else.Thanks again
Gathering - Wednesday 1 February 2012
just a short note to say thank you for the arrangements on the 1st February. Your staff were excellent and the way they conducted themselves ensured there was no sense of intrusion at what was a very sensitive time.
Please pass on my thanks to all those involved as it most definitely made a difference.Yours Sincerely
Mr. Speroni rang this morning
He was very pleased with the arrangements made for the funeral gathering in the John Evelyn Suite yesterday.
All the staff were very helpful and he asked me to pass on his thanks to everyone.Regards

Hi Sharon,
Meant to message you sooner, but have been struck down with tonsillitis all of this week - must've been the stress of everything catching up with me.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you and all the hotel staff for everything you did to make Monday go so smoothly. Such a heartbreaking time, I'm sure you can understand, but everyone's professionalism ensured yet another successful occasion your hotel.Kindest regards
Gathering-19 September
Many thanks indeed for all your help and advice in arranging the above which took place following my mother's funeral.
The general organisation together with the refreshments and assistance of the staff during the afternoon was excellent.
Just wondered if I would be receiving a final account (in debit or credit!) in due course.
Thanks again.Graham Parrott

Dear Louise
Thank you and all members of staff who attended at my Mother's gathering at West Lodge after her funeral on the 27th January 2011. All who were there thought the service given by all the staff was superb as did my husband and I. From the door being opened for us on arrival, the coats being taken from us on the way in, to the discreet service being given when the food was served everyone's needs were catered for.
The food was delicious, and, when a friend of mine mentioned she was a celiac, special food was prepared for her beautifully on a slate platter.
We have had many a wedding reception in the family at your Hotel and it is still as charming as before with staff to match as well as the wonderful cuisine.
Thank you so much.Yours sincerely
14th Jan 2011

Dear Sharon
Just to thank you for all your help and effort to make the 3rd Sept run so smoothly, my family and I did appreciate it. It was everything Harry would have wanted.Yours sincerely,
5th July 2010
Dear Sharon
I would just like to say a big "thank you" to you and the staff for the splendid service and kindness shown by all at the Celebration of my dad's life (Fred Kloss) on Monday 5th July 2010.
A strange thing to say, but everyone enjoyed the event immensely and this was due to the excellent buffet and service given.
Please could you pass on our thanks to the rest of the staff.Kind regards
19th April 2010
Dear Nicola,
Funeral gathering on 19.4.10 following cremation of my wife Margaret Smith
I have just realised that, owing to pressure of events, I have never written to thank you for the excellence of the gathering mentioned above. I was anxious that it should be a celebration of my wife's life and her wonderful personality, not a gloomy reflection on death or sanctimonious spirituality of that kind. I need not have worried : the whole event, the surroundings, the catering, and the background management generally were as near perfection as we could have dared hope for. This is not only my view but is shared by Mrs Jane Wynn who made most of the arrangements with you on my behalf and, to judge from the comments made to me, by virtually everyone else present.
So thank you all very much, and perhaps you will pass my comments on to all the staff concerned.Yours sincerely,
Dear Sharon
As a family we would like to thank you for making the gathering for dad so special.
Everything was perfect, even the weather. Your staff were attentive at all times and the food was faultless.Our thanks again
We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all the support and excellent service we received from you and your team on the day of Sams funeral.
We had an unexpected guest on a glutted free diet and the kitchen impressively produced a plate of food for her, seemingly, without and effort. Everyone was so kind and helpful, they made what was a difficult day for us much easier.Our very best wished to you and all at West Lodge
Dear Sharon,
Re: GATHERING FOR FUNERAL OF MAX ROBINSON
Thank you once again for all the arrangements yesterday. In the end the number was exactly 36 and all went very smoothly. The room was fine and the catering and bar staff as well as those on reception and the doorman were all really helpful and we couldn't have wished for more.With all best wishes,

Okay.. I only cleaned my machine bobbin case and everything out yesterday for pint. I rubbed a small amount of oil in the bobbin case and around the hook (exactly how the manual said to) .. I even put a new needle on to sew with! I sewed a few things yesterday, just small projects.. and tonight I went to sew a little dress together for a baby and after hemming the bottom of the dress with a zig zag stitch the bobbin thread now knots up when I try to sew anything makingone huge horrible mess.. and the machine stops sewing. Any Iideas what's going on?? :(
Pint = lint sorry
Some machines are fussy about which direction the thread comes off the bobbin. I would start by making sure everything is threaded properly.
Phoebe (Pfaff Quilt Ambition 2.0)
Jenny (Janome Coverpro 1000cpx)
Sergio (Brother 1034D)
Betty (White 1505)
I agree here. Check which way the thread
Is coming off . When it knots up for me
That is what I check first. Then retread
The machine.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
What is the sm model?
If understanding correctly...the machine sewed well after the cleaning and oiling...small projects and a baby dress...but didn't begin to misbehave until after hemming the dress with a zig zag stitch.
I agree with checking how the bobbin is threaded...all machines are fussy about that. Wondering though if the machine has a drop-in bobbin case and if possibly the needle grazed the case sometime during the dress hemming? A nicked/scratched drop-in bobbin case will cause thread nesting as you described.
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
Upside-down bobbin was my first guess, too, and you'd be surprised how easy it is to do that accidentally! I am so grateful that my current machine has a diagram printed on the bobbin case! :)
Another possibility is that your cleaning actually dislodged a little bit of lint, or a thread, etc, that you missed, and it's now clinging or tangling somewhere inside the bobbin case. I'd pop out the bobbin and disassemble the bobbin case again, and then wipe it down gently with a soft dry cloth. You really don't want to actually feel any of the oil in the machine (although don't wipe until it's bone dry!).
Then, just for good measure, try everything new: New thread, new needle, new bobbin. (Except for the needle, where I really do mean "new," I just mean different than whatever you're using now.)
Good luck! Usually some time off and a thorough rethreading resolve most of these issues. :)
------~Gem in the prairie
Thanks everyone! I will re thread everything again soon and see. My cotton up on the spool was starting to run low last night i remember seeing it and thinking i had to put a new one on soon... so ill double check the tension too I think...
bobbin case was in the right way and worked fine before i used the zig zag stitch for heming... if after I have re threaded everything and it's no better should I purchase a new bobbin case in case I have scratched it with the needle? Is that easy to fix? :/
If you hit the bobbin case with the needle, most likely the needle would have broken.
Yay! Was as simple as using a different cotton on the spool!So relieved! Just put a different cotton on and it's purring again! Thanks to everyone's reply's though.. Although I've sewn a few things now I am still a beginner and get iffy in times like these! Helps knowing this message board is here!
I was actually a bit surprised at how sad I felt last night after my machine stopped working.. Goes to show how much I am loving sewing!!

United States Olympic Training Center
The United States Olympic Training Centers (OTCs) are three campuses created by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as training facilities for its Olympic and Paralympic athletes. They are located in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Lake Placid, New York; and Chula Vista, California. There is a U.S. Olympic Education Center in Marquette, Michigan, and other official U.S. Olympic/Paralympic training sites are located in Oklahoma City and Edmond, Oklahoma;[1] Carson, California; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North Carolina; the Pettit National Ice Center in West Allis, Wisconsin;[2] and the SPIRE Institute near Geneva, Ohio.[3][4]
Some athletes preparing for the Olympics, Paralympics, and Pan American Games live at one of the OTCs for a period of months or years, while others visit periodically with their respective national teams for training camps, coaching (especially in sports science and sports psychology), or physical testing. Although foreign national teams are occasionally granted use of the USOTCs, they are used mainly by athletes from the United States.
The Colorado Springs OTC was the first of the three to be built, and has been the home of the U.S. Olympic Committee since 1978. Its location on the former Ent Air Force Base was selected for its relatively high elevation, which is often thought to improve training effectiveness. Its facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, an indoor shooting range, a velodrome, two sports centers housing numerous gymnasiums and weight rooms, and a sports science laboratory, in addition to an athlete center and dining hall, several dormitories, a visitors' center, and the offices of both the USOC and U.S. Paralympics.

|Point of View - Page 2
RH: Does your model recommend one system over the other?
Lakoff: The real question is what allows people to flourish. There's been longitudinal research, in which they studied the personal and societal functioning of children from four kinds of families: strict-father (authoritarian), nurturing-parent (authoritative), permissive, and neglectful. It turns out that the authoritative, nurturing-parent model is best at this; the permissive model was second best; the strict-father/authoritarian model was third best; and the neglectful was awful.
RH: Can you give an example of nurturing-parent politics?
Lakoff: Barack Obama, when he campaigned. What he said was straightforward. His main theme was empathy, which he called "the basic thing my mother taught me."
RH: Like Clinton's "I feel your pain?"
Lakoff: More so, because Obama correctly pointed out that democracy is based on empathy. During the campaign, Anderson Cooper asked him what patriotism was, and he said, "Patriotism begins with citizens caring about each other."
RH: Talk about turning it into a moral issue....
Lakoff: Yeah, it was perfect. That's why we have principles like freedom and fairness and so on, right? If you watch his Father's Day speech in 2008, he goes to a black church in Chicago, and he's talking to men who've abandoned their families. And he says, "What kind of man are you? You have no sense of responsibility and no sense of empathy. You should be going back to your family and listening to them and seeing what they need and empathizing with them; being responsible for yourself, taking care of yourself and others, and raising your children to do the same thing."
RH: Being the authoritative parent.
Lakoff: Yes, but not the authoritarian parent. What he says is the family should be run on empathy, social responsibility, and personal responsibility. You should also be teaching your children about caring for other people, because, otherwise, you'll have a generation of people who don't care about anybody. And in the next sentence he says, "The government should work in the same way."
RH: Did you directly influence the Obama campaign?
Lakoff: In the summer of 2006, I visited Obama in his office at his invitation. I gave him a pre-publication copy of Thinking Points and met with his speechwriter, who had well-thumbed copies of my books on his desk.
If you look at Thinking Points, you can see similarities to Obama's campaign strategy. I can't say for sure whether they actually used that book. Obama made a small number of mistakes during the campaign. I got messages to him as to how to fix them, and in a day or two, they were fixed. After the campaign, I was thanked informally by various people in the campaign. That's all I know. I have no idea how much I actually helped.
RH: You've said that voters are driven more by morals than self-interest. Can you explain?

Andy Stump says his "moment of clarity" came while listening to Tony Campolo, famed reformist ministry leader.
"He said many of us listening would fight with each other over comfortable teaching positions in the U.S., while most kids in the world never experience a single lesson with a qualified teacher," Stump recalled.
At the time, Stump, a Dallastown Area Senior High School graduate, was teaching music in a Schuylkill County school district. He graduated from Mansfield University in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in music education and spent two years teaching in public schools.
Instead of continuing that career arc, Stump committed to one year in Haiti working for Water For Life, a nonprofit organization committed to finding water sources for Haitians.
He arrived on the island in July 1992. Nearly 21 years later, Stump remains in Haiti, teaching in a Christian school sponsored by Water For Life in the rural Haitian town of Passe-bois-d'orme. "My goal is to present Christ in a rural Haitian community one lesson at a time," Stump said via email. "I believe God led me here and that he prepared me to do this."
Stump has quite literally done it all during his two-plus decades in Haiti.
He has taught music, Bible, art and physical education for different lengths of time. For one year, he taught Creole language arts to third- and fourth-graders. Stump has taught English to seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders as well. For many years, he was the administrator for the Water For Life school.
Stump describes Passe-bois-d'orme as "an agricultural community with a couple of thousand people located along the southern coast of the island." Within walking distance, there are four schools, five churches and one market, he added, but no hospital or doctor.
Answering immediate needs is one thing, but Stump said he is most proud of establishing a new culture in the town. A culture that is self-sustaining and produces new generations of leaders.
He describes his greatest joy as seeing students he taught 15 years ago working alongside him in ministry today. Others do not do as well, he added.
"I long for more serious commitment to Christ from some of the folks who have been close to me over the years here in Haiti," Stump said. "I leave the results in God's hands, but I work to see that some day they will be doing all they are able to do for God's glory."
Stump grew up attending Christ Lutheran Church in Dallastown and his mother still lives there. It's where he was baptized and confirmed as an infant. The church has supported Stump throughout his two decades in Haiti.
"He's been called, and he's experienced that in a very personal way," said the Rev. Lawrence Cunnings from Christ Lutheran. "Everybody is called to something and some people listen and some people don't.
"The only thing that has been able to keep him there for 20 years is his constant reliance and his constant listening to God's word."
In July 2012, Stump launched ASAPH Teaching Ministry with four members of Christ Lutheran Church. One of the lesser known biblical figures, Asaph was a musician/composer and teacher appointed by King David to lead worship.
Stump is using the name as an acronym: Andy Stump At Passe-bois-d'orme, Haiti. The ministry goals are Bible study, academic tutoring, teacher training, school assembly programs, vacation Bible school and more.
Stump said the new ministry, which he updates supporters on at www.
ministry.com, is just another vehicle to carry out his mission work.
"I am working on preparing people to teach music, English, and Bible," Stump said. "One goal is to have people teaching those things well either here or wherever God leads them."

Introducing Grow ALL the Plants, Season One!
My new podcast is gearing up to go live... First full episode launches February 15th. Get a brief taste of what it is all about now with Episode 1.0, the introduction!
4 comments:
Awesome! Will your podcast be on iTunes as well?ReplyDelete
Came here from 'plants are the strangest people' blog. This podcast seems very interesting. Too bad I could not understand a word your guests were saying. Very bad audio quality :-(ReplyDelete
THey recommend you have at least three episodes out before submitting a podcast to itunes, so that will be coming soon.
I'm not happy with the audio quality either. I'm still getting the hang of it! It should be better in future episodes.
Great to hear that :)ReplyDelete

Saturday, October 17 at the Aundeck Omni Kaning Community Centre: This day offers two opportunities to learn and share in cross cultural discoveries about Manitoulin's culinary richness integrating wild traditional foods and farm and garden delicacies.
Workshop/Demonstration from 2–4 p.m. will teach about gathering and preparing wild foods found in the summer and fall on Manitoulin and will also include a cooking demonstration with autumn harvested garden-grown foods, cooked in a fusion style integrating native and European flavors.
Fall Feast at 5 p.m. is a buffet-style dinner with several traditional native dishes made from wild-gathered plants, fish, and meats and several dishes prepared with Manitoulin's garden vegetables. After dinner activities will include a presentation by the M'Chigeeng daycare children on Ojibway language and foods as well as traditional humorous songs about foods. Families with children are encouraged to attend the feast. Booths and displays will be open throughout the afternoon and evening.
There is no required fee for the workshops or dinner, everyone is welcome! Donations gladly accepted, to go toward future similar educational endeavors. Reservations for either workshop or dinner are recommended (to assist with the planning process) but not required. Contact LoonSong at 368-0460, or Tammy Albers at Noojmowin Teg, 368-2182.
The project is coordinated by Noojmowin-Teg Health Centre, and supported by the Manitoulin Community Food Network, Ontario AgriFood & Education, LAMBAC and FedNor. In addition to these public events in the fall, and events to come in the spring, the project will include teaching in both Manitoulin high schools about nutrition, gardening, and collecting and preparing wild foods.

When an electrical current passes through a wire, a small magnetic field is produced around the wire.
If the wire is wound into a coil, the magnetic fields combine to create a stronger and larger magnetic field, with a north and a south pole, just like a permanent magnet.
Turn the current flow off and the magnetic field collapses and disappears. Therefore, by passing electrical current through a conductor coil a magnetic field is produced, and turning it off causes the magnetic field to collapse. This is the operational theory behind an electromagnet.
The reverse is true as well. If a conductor is passed through a magnetic field, or a magnetic field is passed over a conductor, then a current flow is induced into that conductor. This is referred to as electromagnetic induction.
Electromagnets are constructed by winding a conductor wire, many thousands of times, around a soft iron or metal core and passing current through the coil. The strength of the magnetic field produced is determined by the number of turns, or coils, and the value of the current flow through the conductor. The core uniformly aligns the magnetic fields, which strengthens the magnetic effect. The size of the electromagnet is determined by its application. A fuel injector will contain a small electromagnetic coil using very fine wire, whereas a starter motor will use heavier wire in larger coils.
Many components use electromagnetism to operate, so if a component has an electrical connection and movement is created by or within the component, then that component will use an electromagnet. Devices such as relays, solenoids and motors, use electromagnets to create movement. Ignition coils and transformers use electromagnetic induction to raise or lower voltage outputs.
A relay is a device that uses an electromagnet to operate an electrical switch. When a small current is applied to the relay coil, a magnetic field is produced. The magnetic field causes a set of contact points to close and complete an electrical circuit.
Relays are used in circuits with small, low current switches to control circuits that carry high current flow. Most electrical components found in a motor vehicle are controlled by relays. ECU's use relays to control components such as fuel pumps or headlights. Both these circuits carry large electrical loads.
Relays are classified as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.). N.O. relays are open circuited when de-energised and closed by the electromagnetic action. N.C. relays are closed when de-energised and are open circuited when the electromagnet is energised.
Fuel injectors and starter motor solenoids are two of the many solenoid-type components used in a motor vehicle. The operation of a solenoid is similar to a relay, but where a relay uses a magnetic field to close an electric circuit, a solenoid uses a magnetic field to create lateral movement. The metal core, used by the electromagnet to strengthen the magnetic field, is now referred to as an armature. It is positioned so that it is partially outside the electromagnetic coil and free to move in and out. When the coil is energised, the magnetic field draws the armature into the centre of the coil. If the armature is attached to a lever or plunger, it will be forced to move as well. Stopping current flow causes the electromagnet to de-energise and a spring pushes the armature out again.
Another device that uses a solenoid action is a vehicle horn. When the armature is drawn in by the electromagnetic coil, it opens a set of electrical contacts so that current flow through the coil is stopped. This causes the armature to move out again, closing the contacts drawing the armature back in. This process happens at very high speeds. The vibration caused by the rapid movement is transferred to a diaphragm and the familiar horn sound is produced.
Solenoids use magnetic fields to create lateral movement; electric motors use magnetic fields to create rotary movement. Motors consist of two main components: the armature and the field. Both the armature and the field contain electromagnets. The interaction between the stationary field coils and the moveable armature coil causes the armature to rotate. The design and orientation of the electromagnetic coils ensures the armature continues to turn. The armature is connected to the electrical supply by a set of carbon brushes that contact a commutator, which is a component part of the armature. The brushes allow the electrical connection even when the armature is turning. Various design characteristics of electric motors speed and torque characteristics appropriate to their application.
Ignition Coils and Transformers
Ignition coils and transformers both operate under the operating principles of electromagnetic induction. They use electromagnetism to produce electricity, rather than movement.
An ignition coil can be described as a step-up transformer. That is because the output of 60 kV (or more) is higher than the input, nominally 12 V. Ignition coils are sometimes referred to as auto-transformers, as some designs connect both the primary and secondary coils at a common point.
Two coils are used - one coil, referred to as a primary coil, is wound around a second, or secondary coil. The primary coil will have 200 or 300 turns of light gauge wire while the secondary will have approximately 30,000 to 60,000 turns of very fine wire. When current is passed through the primary coil, the magnetic field builds. When the current is turned off, the magnetic field collapses and influences the secondary coil by its moving (collapsing) magnetic field. A current flow is induced into the secondary coil that has an EMF that is many times greater than the EMF in the primary coil. This is delivered to the spark plug, which ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine.
The transformer action causes heat to be produced. In the past, the internal coils were immersed in cooling oil allowing the heat to be conducted to the case. Modern ignition coils do not use oil. They are usually constructed using a heat conducting hard resin and are cooled by their location on a heat sink, or by passing air.
Step-down transformers operate under the same operating principles. The only difference is that the secondary coil has fewer turns than the primary, providing a lower induced output.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's quarterbacks had big passing
days during the Crimson Tide's first scrimmage of the spring.
Greg McElroy passed for 235 yards and a touchdown in the
120-play scrimmage Friday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Redshirt
freshman backup A.J. McCarron went 21-of-28 for 229 yards and three
Several of the team's stars had big days. Julio Jones caught
eight passes for 105 yards while Trent Richardson had touchdown
runs of 18 and 21 yards.
Marcell Dareus had four sacks and eight tackles for the defense.
Tide coach Nick Saban says the scrimmage was a good starting
point for a team that only has two returning defensive starters.
Saban praised the work of the first-team defense but says the
group lacks the depth of the national championship unit.
