Love this kit! It has everything you need for your brows - tweezer, slanted brush, sponge tip, mini mirror & the powders. I like how there are 3 shades of colors (highlight, lighter brown, and dark brown) so you can mix the shades together to get the shade you want (I actually never tried that but I guess it would work? lol)
It's very pigmented & lasts through the day! Very impressed & happy with the purchase. For $6 this is an excellent purchase.

Water leaks in around solar cell on top. Lantern literally fills with water and can't get out , Do to the waterproof seal everywhere else! All three of mine were corroded beyond repair in 4 weeks.
The lamp can be charged by plugging it into a wall socket, car charger or sunlight. A little orange light tells you when you have enough sun to charge with. I'm a newbie emergency preparedness freak (After 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, witnessing the destruction of Katrina and now living in earthquake country, I want to be prepared.) My camp buddy and I each took one. I have one in my go bag and I am ordering one to keep in the home.
The biggest surprise was how nice it was to do business with this company: Hybridlight. I either didn't notice and tossed out or the lamp didn't have the adapters in the beat up looking box. I emailed them telling them where I got the product and the circumstances thinking I would just buy the missing parts. To my surprise they were so kind as to send them to me free of charge!!! I am a customer for life!
Great product, great company and it's nice that Amazon has this product on sale!

Free home edition of enterprise level analytics
World Programming, a producer of analytics and data science software, has released a free edition of its WPS analytics software for individual home use to hone data science skills or simply do a big data project on your own.

Demand for data scientists grows despite efforts to replace them through automation
Every big data vendor out there is trying desperately to develop the magic algorithm to enable the average business user to use big data without the aid of data scientists, with varying success. The inconvenient truth is that even with intelligent automation, data scientists are still needed to handle the growing complexity in analysis and in vendor product automation and innovation. According to Indeed, there are over 600 open positions for data scientists in Silicon Valley alone.

Or even more simply, that judges are getting more brazen about their corruption. Reflecting upon the judicial and prosecutorial attitude toward bankers and real estate people over the past three-plus years, they don't have anything to worry about.
I'm surprised that I still am capable of thinking this way, but my first thought was: "You're joking. Please be joking." But no. Nope.
I'm afraid I've all but lost that capacity. It takes an act of pretty staggering corruption/depravity to raise my eyebrows, nowadays.

What steps are available for us as citizens to express our official displeasure with these events? Anybody got a billion dollars to get noticed?
The optimist part of me says that the judge has more than enough evidence accrued to find against them without introducing elements that may give rise to appeal, and that this is why these particular gems were precluded.
On the other hand….money.
Unfortunately I have to agree with the judge on the "shitty job" email. It lacks any details that would link what the author didn't like to the failure. Was it messy? Slow? Expensive? Or is the author pissed about something else and deriding the cement job just to be insulting? Without specific context, the email is inflammatory (no pun intended), not evidence.
However it is reason to depose the dude. All anyone has to do is ask the author "What did you think of the cementing job?" during a deposition. Then you'd get the full gory details missing from the email.
If it was still excluded, it's because the geologist couldn't offer any details supporting calling it shitty.
We wouldn't want to hurt BPs feelings…

Have you ever wanted to raid your favourite celebrity's wardrobe? Apparently one thief was desperate to get their hands on Victoria Beckham's ultra luxurious designer fashions.
While on tour in Germany, the Spice Girl reported that tens of thousands of dollars of designer clothing had been stolen from her dressing room.
"Furious Posh had a bigger pout than ever when she got off stage after the Spice Girls' gig in Cologne on Thursday to find her room ransacked," the Sunday Mirror reported. "Bizarrely, none of the other girls were targeted.
"Two pairs of shoes, at £5,000 a pop, were pinched along with stage outfits, including jackets and jewellery.
"But Victoria, 33, was most upset when she found they'd taken a red satin dressing robe that Roberto Cavalli had designed especially for her to wear backstage. It had 'Mrs Beckham' on the front and 'Posh' on the back."
Ouch, that sucks, but it would be interesting to know if it was a Becks hater trying to sabotage her, or a fan desperate for her glamorously Posh wardrobe!

A knock in the head leads to erotic risks in 'Concussion'
This exquisite mood movie sexualizes the identity crisis of a well-off New Jersey wife and mother (Robin Weigert). The deed that catalyzes the action is as clumsy as a V-8 commercial – her son conks her in the head with a baseball. Everything that follows, including her drift into a risky erotic world, is felt from the inside out.
Wiegert's alert, elusive Abby has been keeping herself trim and her home ship-shape while raising the two kids she has with her mate Kate (Julie Fain Lawrence), a high-powered divorce lawyer. After that bloody bop to the temple, Abby decides to work outside the home again. She turns a Manhattan loft into a swank, compact condo. Using that space as her base, she becomes a part-time prostitute.
The writer-director, Stacie Passon, makes masterly use of indirection – she lets the audience sense how de-sexed Abby and Kate's marriage has become before anyone makes a big deal of it. The setup sounds like a bus and tunnel "Belle de Jour," but the content of Abby's sessions is equally arousing and emotional. She insists on meeting women beforehand. She sensitizes herself to their desires and sometimes senses their needs – except in the case of a terrifying sadist.
A wonderful observer of social and intimate behavior, Passon lightly satirizes the suburbia of housewives spinning, jogging and doing yoga during the day while sweating over a line in their kids' school play at night. Passon nails the sensuality of coziness as well as the sexuality that transcends it. She doesn't moralize about the discreet charms of the bourgeoisie.
Abby is spinning psychologically as well as physically. The film simply follows her fluctuations as she strives to find a new center of gravity. Occasionally, Passon hands her a summary statement, like "I'm 42 – something has to be me by now." More often, lines float in from unexpected quarters and set off psychological reverberations. A young sexual client says that reading Gandhi taught her "action expresses priorities." An old decorating client complains about "the illusion of choice."
I call it a "mood movie" because Passon keys it to the shifts in Abby's disposition. The moviemaker is content to follow the heroine's hazardous new obsession to the end. The film is wispy but it sticks with you, because Passon elicits a stunning performance from Weigert as a woman who doesn't know herself. Weigert always streaks Abby's major feelings – like anger and desire – with something else – like humor, excitement and rue. She and Passon team up to create an indelible portrait of a woman who may always be a work in progress.

PwC US Anticipates Super Bowl XLVIII to Generate Over $210M for NY/NJ Area
Monday January 27th, 2014 - 10:38AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
NEW YORK—According to PwC US, direct spending by the National Football League (NFL), businesses, visitors and media on area lodging, transportation, food and beverage, entertainment, business services, and other hospitality and tourism activities related to Super Bowl XLVIII is expected to total more than $210 million.
This estimate is based on a proprietary analysis that considers characteristics unique to this year's event such as the participating teams, attributes of the New York/New Jersey area, national economic conditions and corporate and other ancillary activities.
A distinctive spending profile is likely to emerge from this year's Super Bowl destination given its cold weather and geographic size, resident population, corporate base, visitor attractions/infrastructure and costs of the New York/New Jersey area compared to other host markets. The estimated direct spending associated with the event for the past 10 years is illustrated below in nominal dollars.
"While a world-class destination, Super Bowl-related visitor volume and length of stay in New York/New Jersey could be mitigated by factors such as cold weather, a compressed event and activity calendar, shorter hotel minimum night requirements, and a higher proportion of local attendees, compared to traditional host markets," stated Adam Jones, director, sports and tourism sector, PwC US. "Yet, barring any major weather issues impacting travel, it's anticipated that New York/New Jersey should still yield one of the highest inflation-adjusted results for a Super Bowl, given the relative destination costs and the planned scale of Super Bowl-related events and activities."
Jones continued, "From an impact perspective, one of many unique considerations of having New York/New Jersey host this year's game is the opportunity for the market to locally capture the dollars spent by its deep corporate base on Super Bowl hospitality and sponsor activation—spending that has historically been exported to the other host markets."

"Come To Me, All You Who Labour"
December 12, 2012
This beautiful prayer found in Matthew and Luke, is a hymn of thanksgiving from Jesus to his Father. In sentiment it reflects John's Gospel more than the Synoptics. Jesus thanks his Father for the success of his disciples' mission, and for the understanding that has been granted them, "little ones".
What is this 'understanding' which has been given to his disciples, simple and unlettered though they be ?
This 'understanding' is the proclamation of the 'kingdom', which is Jesus's task, and which his disciples are invited to share in. The kingdom is not a physical or political space; it is a spiritual dimension, brought about by a change of attitude, first of all. This is the 'Good News'. This is the meaning of the words "Repent ! Change your heart !"
A disciple of the 'kingdom' learns to live not by rules and regulations, not by doctrine and dogma, but by compassion and loving service towards others, no matter who they be. The proof that the kingdom has arrived is that "the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, and demons are expelled" – in other words, health and physical well-being is given to all as a preparation for them to hear the Good News.
This transformation has been given the poor and the unlettered, who have been the first to reach out to Jesus and place their trust in him. It is true that their faith is often imperfect, but it is there – unlike the Jewish establishment, "the learned and the wise", who only doubt Jesus, suspect his miracles, and refuse to accept him as their saviour.
The only way to God is through Jesus. "Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father." To refuse to accept Jesus is to block one's own access to God. This statement is a direct challenge to Jewish orthodoxy which believed that the Law of Moses was the complete revelation of God, and sufficient in itself.
In conclusion, Jesus invites all those who are weary and burdened under the various prescriptions of the Jewish Law, to come to him. Jesus's "yoke is sweet and his burden light". It doesn't consist in new obligations, but in a new relationship -- the relationship of children, not of slaves; and its motivation is not compulsion, but love.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 868,785 filed May 29, 1986 (now abandoned).
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to bipolar transistors. In particular, the present invention is an improved bipolar transistor which includes a thin barrier layer of a wider band gap semiconductor material between the base and emitter.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The desire for higher speed bipolar transistors has led to the investigation of various transistor structures, and to the development of bipolar transistors using semiconductor materials other than silicon. Particular emphasis has been placed on devices using gallium arsenide (GaAs). Among the advantages offered by gallium arsenide over silicon transistors are the higher electron mobility of gallium arsenide, the availability of semi-insulating substrates, and expected superior radiation hardness and high temperature performance.
Heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT), which typically use a wide band gap aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs or Alx Ga1-x As) emitter, offer several potential advantages over homojunction GaAs devices for high speed applications. In a AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor, the wide band gap AlGaAs emitter introduces an extra barrier for minority carrier injection from base to emitter. As a result, the emitter efficiency can be very high and nearly independent of the doping density of the base. As a result, the base can be doped heavily to reduce base resistance, without sacrificing emitter injection efficiency. Description of heterojunction bipolar transistors can be found, for example, in the following papers: H. Kroemer, "Heterostructure Bipolar Transistors: What Should We Build?", J. Vac Sci. Technol., Bl(2), pp. 126-130, April-June 1983; N. Chand and H. Morkoc, "Doping Effects and Compositional Grading in Alx Ga1-x As/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors", IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. Ed-32, No. 6, pp 1064-1068, June 1985; A. Grindberg, M. Shur, R. Fischer and H. Morkoc, "An Investigation of the Effect of Graded Layers and Tunneling on the Performance of AlGaAs/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors", IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. Ed-31, No. 12, pp 1758-1764, December 1984; P. Asbeck, D. Miller, R. Milano, J. Harris, Jr., G. Kaelin and R. Zucca, "(Ga,Al)As/GaAs Bipolar Transistors For Digital Integrated Circuits", IEDM 81, pp 629-632, 1981.
Despite the advantages, AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors also have significant shortcomings. In particular, the AlGaAs emitter has several disadvantages related to the traps associated with the dopants, high contact resistance (typically much larger than for comparably doped GaAs), and higher series resistance because of the low mobility and electron velocity in AlGaAs.
The present invention is a new bipolar transistor which we call a tunneling emitter bipolar transistor (TEBT). This device uses a thin barrier layer of a wider band gap semiconductor material interposed between the base and emitter of a bipolar transistor. The barrier layer exhibits a large difference in effective electron mass and effective hole mass. The barrier layer, which has the same conductivity type as the emitter, preferably has a graded compositional profile so that the energy gap increases with distance from the base. The compositional profile, along with high doping levels of the emitter and the barrier layer, provides a barrier which is smaller and thinner for majority carriers than for the minority carriers in the emitter.
The TEBT provides improved emitter efficiency because of the mass filtering and the effect of the larger barrier to minority carrier injection, and low emitter series resistance, resulting in high current gain and high cutoff frequency, while considerably reducing the undesirable effects of the emitter of a conventional HBT. Hence the TEBT has much better temperature stability and less light sensitivity.
FIG. 1A is a diagram showing a preferred embodiment of the tunneling emitter bipolar transistor of the present invention.
FIG. 1B is a diagram showing the energy gap as a function of position along the TEBT of FIG. 1A.
FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the band structure of the TEBT at thermal equilibrium.
FIG. 2B shows a portion of the band structure of FIG. 2A, in expanded scale, around the emitter base junction.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing terminal voltage and current conventions of the tunnelling emitter bipolar transistor.
FIG. 1A is a schematic cross-section of tunneling emitter bipolar transistor 10 of the present invention. TEBT 10, in this embodiment, is an NPN transistor having an N type collector 12, a heavily doped P type (P+) base 14 and a heavily doped N type (N+) emitter 16. Collector contact 18, base contact 20, and emitter contact 22 make ohmic contact to collector 12, base 14 and emitter 16, respectively.
TEBT 10 also includes a thin barrier layer 24 which is interposed between base 14 and emitter 16. Barrier layer 24, which is a heavily doped N type layer, has a different composition than base 14 and emitter 16. In one preferred embodiment, collector 12, base 14 and emitter 16 are all gallium arsenide, while barrier layer 24 is a thin Alx Ga1-x As alloy semiconductor layer. The thickness of barrier layer 24 varies from about 10 Angstroms to about 200 Angstroms, depending on the value of x (the mole fraction of AlAs in the alloy semicondutor), the composition profile of barrier layer 24, and the doping levels of base 14, emitter 16 and barrier layer 24. In preferred embodiments, barrier layer 24 is between about 30 Angstroms and about 60 Angstroms. Barrier layer 24 is preferably graded to make the barrier smaller for injected electrons (majority carriers), while the barrier for holes (minority carriers) remains basically unchanged when emitter 16 is doped heavily. As shown in FIG. 1B, the energy gap Eg increases with distance from junction 26. This is achieved by grading the composition of the barrier layer so that x increases with distance from junction 26. The graded composition also eliminates a sharp notch which otherwise exists at the emitter base junction.
TEBT 10 achieves enhanced emitter injection efficiency by taking advantage of a very large difference in the tunneling probabilities for electrons and holes in barrier layer 24. The improvement results from both the effect of "mass filtering" (because there is a large difference in the effective electron mass and the effective hole mass in barrier layer 24), and the effect of a large barrier to minority carrier injection and a small barrier to majority carrier injection.
Table 1 shows the characteristics and parameters of a TEBT device like the one shown in FIG. 1A. In this device, collector 12, base 14, and emitter 16 are all GaAs, while barrier layer 24 is an Alx Ga1-x As layer having a compositional profile in which x changes from zero at junction 26 to about 0.332 at interface 28 between barrier layer 24 and emitter 16.

FIG. 2A shows a numerically calculated band diagram of TEBT device 10 using the device parameters given in Table 1. The conduction band discontinuity was assumed to be ΔEc =0.57ΔEg where ΔEg is the band gap difference between Alx Ga1-x As and GaAs.
An expanded view of the region around the emitter-base junction 26 is shown in FIG. 2B. The effective barrier for the conduction electrons is only a fraction of ΔEc (x); but the effective barrier for holes is even slightly larger than ΔEv (x). Also, the electron effective mass is smaller than the hole effective mass. Hence, the conduction electrons can tunnel through the Alx Ga1-x As barrier layer 24 much easier than holes. Indeed, when the tunneling probability T is much smaller than 1, the following expression
T=exp (-2 [2m* (V(x)-E)/ρ2 ]1/2 dx) Eq 1
can be used as a good approximation. For a uniform Al0.3 Ga0.7 As material, the electron effective mass is about 0.092 me, heavy hole (≈93%) effective mass about 0.66 me, and light hole (≈7%) effective mass about 0.11 me.
An accurate quantitative calculation of the tunneling probabilities of electrons and holes requires very accurate knowledge of the shape of the barriers and the values of the effective masses. In addition, the grading of the composition in the Alx Ga1-x As barrier layer 24 further complicates the evaluation of the effective masses.
Using approximated trapzoid barrier shapes, the average tunneling probability for holes Tp can be estimated as
Tp ≦10-4 Eq 2
and the estimated Tn for electrons is about
Tn ≈0.1 Eq 3
which can be further increased by varying the composition and doping profiles.
Taking the thermionic emission effects into account, the transport rates through barrier layer 24 may be written as
Rp =Tp +(1-Tp) exp (-Ev kT)≈exp (-ΔEv /kT) Eq 4
Rn =Tn +(1-Tn) exp (-ΔE'c /kT) Eq 5
for holes and electrons respectively, where ΔEv ≈0.11 eV is the valence band discontinuity, and ΔE'c ≈0.77 eV is the effective barrier height for electrons.
FIG. 3 shows a diagrammatic representation of TEBT 10, with terminal voltage and current conventions illustrated. TEBT 10 is shown symbolically in a fashion similar to a conventional bipolar transistor, except that a small line crosses the emitter arrow to dictate the presence of barrier layer 24.
Following a conventional procedure described in H. T. Yuan, W. V. McLevige, and H. D. Shih, "GaAs Bipolar Digital Integrated Circuits", VLSI Electronics, Vol. 11, ed. by N. Einspruch and W. Wisseman, Academic Press, Inc., 1985, and taking Rp and Rn into consideration, the first order I-V characteristic of TEBT 10 for the n-p-n structure with terminal voltages and currents shown in FIG. 3 may be described by the Ebers-Moll model:
Ie =-Ies [exp (qvbe /kT)-1)]'αdr Ics [exp (qVbc /kT)-1]+αr Ics [exp (qVbc /kT)-1]-Ier Eq 6A
Ic =-αf Ies [exp (qVbe /kT)-1)]-Ics [exp (qVbc /kT)-1]-Icr, Eq 6B
where the recombination currents
Ier =Ae (qni Wbe /τbe)[exp (qVbe /nkT)-1]Eq 7A
Icr =Ac (qni Wbc /τbc)[exp (qVbc /nkT)-1]Eq 7B
are included.
To reduce Ier, the compositional profile of barrier layer 24 may be graded symmetrically rather than linearly as shown in FIG. 1B.
The parameters Ies and Ics are the emitter-base and collector-base junction reverse bias saturation currents contributed by both the electron component and hole component, that is
Ies =Ies (p)+Ies (n) Eq 8A
Ics =Ics (p)+Ies (n) Eq 8B
For the particular TEBT specified in Table 1, the emitter length We, base thickness Wb and collector length Wc are all small in comparison with their respective carrier diffusion lengths. Consequently, Ies and Ics can be expressed in terms of the doping concentrations Na, Nde and Ndc, the hole and electron diffusion constants Dp and Dn and the hole and electron tunneling probabilities Tp and Tn, by ##EQU1## where ni is the intrinsic carrier concentration of GaAs and Eq 4 and Eq 5 are used.
Assuming that the depletion-layer recombination currents are much larger than the neutral-base recombination currents, the common base forward and reverse current gain factors αf and αr can be writen as
αf =Ies (n)/[Ies (n)+Ies (p)+(Ier +Ae qni Wbe /τbe) exp (-qVbe /kT)] Eq 10A
αr =Ics (n)/[Ics (n)+Ics (p)+(Icr +Ac qni Wbc /τbc) exp (-qVbc /kT)] Eq 10B
Consequently the common emitter current gain may be found as ##EQU2##
If the recombination current Ier is negligible in comparison with Ies (p), such as in the case of large Vbe, we may estimate ρ according to ##EQU3## where the parameters in Table 1 are used.
This current gain may be further enhanced by the ballistic transport of hot electrons across the base as was originally proposed by H. Kroemer, "Heterostructure bipolar transistors: What should we build?", J. Vac. Sci. Technol., Vol. Bl, No. 2, pp 126-130, April-June 1983.
Just as in a conventional HBT, the base doping level in TEBT 10 may be quite high, leading to a low base spreading resistance, low emitter-base capacitance and other factors favorable for a high frequency performance.
The TEBT 10 of the present invention offers a significantly higher cut-off frequency than is possible with state-of-the-art HBT devices. The reason is the high contact resistance to N type Alx Ga1-x As emitters. As stated by H. Yuan, W. McLevige and H. D. Shih, VLSI Electronics, Vol. 11, ed. by Einspruch and W. Wisseman, Academic Press, Inc. 1985: "Taking the state of the art heterojunction bipolar transistor made from AlGaAs-GaAs as an example, it has a measured fT of 25 GHz, although the calculated value indicates that the fT should be as high as 65 GHz. This disparity is identified, because of the difficulty of making low-contact resistance to the AlGaAs emitter. Therefore, to achieve ultra-high switching speed . . . the emitter resistance must also be reduced proportionally."
By contrast, in TEBT 10, the emitter resistance is substantially reduced because of the use of highly doped GaAs as emitter 16. The emitter contact resistance Recon is much lower for TEBT 10 in comparison to the conventional HBT, and as a result a much higher cut-off frequency is achieved.
For high base currents (i.e. large base emitter voltages Vbe), the cut-off frequency is given by:
fT =1/2π[Recon (Cje +Cparastic)+Wb 2 /2De ] Eq 13
where Recon is the emitter contact resistance, Cje the emitter-base junction capacitance, and Cparastic is the total parasitic capacitance that includes the collector-base junction capacitance, device isolation capacitance, and interconnect capacitance. The intrinsic base transit time is given by the second term in the bracket. As can be seen from Eq 13, TEBT 10 will have higher cut-off frequency fT due to the much lower Recon in TEBT 10, if everything else is kept the same as in a conventional heterojunction bipolar transistor. Taking the parameters given in Table 1, we have: ##EQU4## where the contact resistance 5�10-7 Ω-cm2 is assumed for the ohmic contacts to GaAs.
Wb 2 /De ≈2�10-13 second Eq 15
The capacitances are approximately
C=Cie +Cparasitic ≈3.�10-6 F/cm2 Eq 16
and hence,
fT ≈80 GHz. Eq 17
For a conventional heterojunction bipolar transistor with AlGaAs emitter, Recon is higher (perhaps, not lower than 2.�10-6 Ω-cm2). Hence, for the devices with similar parameters,
fT(AlGaAs) ≈26 GHz
in approximate agreement with H. Yuan et al.
Although TEBT 10 has been described in terms of a GaAs device with an AlGaAs barrier layer 24, other combinations of semicondutor materials can be used to achieve similar device properties. TEBT 10 requires a large difference in the effective electron mass and the effective hole mass, a small barrier to the majority carriers, and good lattice matching between barrier layer 24 and the materials of base 14 and emitter 16.
In another embodiment, AlGaAs is the material for barrier layer 24, and InGaAs is the material used for collector 12, base 14, and emitter 16. Similar conduction band discontinuities to AlGaAs/GaAs can be realized with a low mole fraction in the AlGaAs. There is a high electron mobility in InGaAs, and the mass difference between electrons and holes is large. A thin AlGaAs layer can resolve the lattice mismatching due to the fact that the lattice strain is taken up coherently by epilayers resulting in a dislocation-free pseudomorphic material.
Still another material system is InAlAs/InGaAs, where InAlAs is the material used for barrier layer 24. The characteristics are similar to those of AlGaAs/InGaAs.
Another material system uses InGaP as the barrier layer 24 and GaAs as the material for collector 12, base 14, and emitter 16. The conduction band discontinuity at interface 28 is approximately equal to the valence band discontinuity.
Still another material system is AlGaAs/GaAs/GaBeAs. In this embodiment, AlGaAs is the material of barrier layer 24, GaAs is the material used for collector 12 and emitter 16. GaBeAs is used as the material for base 14, which allows ultra high doping in base 14.
In conclusion, the tunnelling emitter bipolar transistor (TEBT) of the present invention offers high emitter efficiency, low parasitic resistance, and significantly higher frequency performance than is possible with state-of-the-art heterojunction bipolar transistors. In addition, since the emitter of the TEBT is a material such as GaAs, the temperature instability, light sensitivity, and other undesirable effects associated with the heavily doped AlGaAs emitter of a HBT are significantly reduced.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Sens Need To Win And Forget About Stats
by Paul on 12/04/07 at 08:06 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
"I don't know if there's anything specific at the moment. I've told teams we need to get healthy. We've said all along that it would be nice to have another forward who can score goals. But there doesn't seem to be that person available right now. We're just trying to find out what is out there."
Murray said the answers mostly have to come from within.
"I'm not sure that trades do very much," said Murray. "You may scare a person. You may eliminate a person or two from your lineup. I think we have a pretty good hockey team. You don't want to make a change just for the sake of making a change. If that's what it takes to stimulate this group, then I'd be pretty disappointed.
"We've got a good group here. We've obviously gotten away from our game. We've got too many guys worried about statistics rather than winning."

what if black bishop takes the b pawn - then it is not mate in 5
I was thinking the same thing. And does anyone know why 4.a4 is wrong please? I don't see how both mate threats (b4/Bd2) can be defended.
Thats what I was thinking too. Think it is a perfectly viable option as well, just not the solution
oh please you guys, these quesions have been answered at least 5 times in the previous pages and really it's not impossible to see providing you dont jump to the conclusion that the puzzle is "busted" (per another poster) or has multiple solutions... it doesn't and it's documented all over this forum. Take that as a fact, and now s
ha ha ha
5. Bd2#
agreed... this puzzle is busted bro... good eye
tough puzzle. It is hard to see that many moves ahead.
tough one!
not that easy!
Pretty tough...
I thought the same thing at first "the puzzle is wrong!" but The annoying 4...ba2 stops it - then i realized that after Bxb3 axb3 discovers a mate very tough puzzle.
that was a very good puzzle
4.a4 can be played.
There is a wrong thing here :
when you move b3, the black bishop can take your pawn and there isn't checkmate in five moves.
But if you do a4, then there is checkmate in five moves.
really good
pavrey - white takes with the a pawn and mates in 5
4...., Bxb3 ?
Yes it is, axb3 is mate because of the discovery by the rook on a1.

I woke up dream-talking as a speaker in my Public Speaking class about polarized politics and the concept of Yin and Yang… which is the idea that Yin and Yang are—and need to be—in a continual dynamic flow from one into the other and back again. The concept is based on the natural order of things on the planet. Yin (winter, nighttime, cold) has a spot of Yang (summer, daytime, warmth) and in Yang the opposite is true. Too much Yang and things burn up, we can't sleep, and if it goes on too long we die…by Fire. Too much Yin and things freeze, we can't move (we hibernate), and if it goes on too long we die…. by Ice. Things need to flow from Winter to Spring to Summer and back again to maintain life, healthfully, on this planet as we know it.
What has most concerned me about our current political situation is the hijacking of the system in order to control things by one side instead of allowing for fruitful interplay with opposing forces to come up with ideas that are better, more balanced and ultimately more well-thought-out enough to be acceptable and positive enough for the country as a whole.
We could think of what is happening as a pendulum swing—the Bernie Sanders campaign being the ultimate polar opposite of the right wing Tea Party-demanded Republican obstructionism we have seen for six years. Which, of course, completely freaks out those who benefit from the status quo and, rightly, is of concern even to centrist or more moderate (so-called Liberal) people like Barack Obama.
Barack Obama believes in compromise—he offers compromise positions right out of the starting gate and then, of course, refuses to compromise even further. In other words, I believe he doesn't succeed at bargaining much because his opening position IS the compromise most real Liberals MIGHT be willing to settle for. There's never been enough Yang in his position to balance the Yin that is an obstructionist Congress.
In my opinion, you have to have a leader who is way more Liberal than Obama—or Hillary Clinton—in order to succeed at, ultimately, creating a good enough compromise position that contains elements that are essential to the other side. Deadlock comes from unwillingness to reach middle ground (at least part of the time) because there is not enough interplay of true opposites. Eventually Bernie Sanders in Congress learned to play with the opposite side—hammering out numerous amendments to bills, mostly though bipartisan coalition building—that he has time and again been successful in getting passed. That is why he is called the Amendment King (see this excellent article to find out more: http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/bernie-gets-it-done-sanders-record-pushing-through-major-reforms-will-surprise-you). Bernie learned that he would never be able to get his so-called Radical ideas across full-force in the system that exists, but by sheer persistence he has managed to amend more bills to be much more acceptable to a Liberal position than any other person in Congress.
It is possible—likely—that this pendulum swing concept we see in politics IS the balancing Yin-Yang effect. That after six years of Congressional Yin—freezing out of the president and doing NOTHING of actual substance—that the biggest call to action is to put in place the opposite balancing reaction.
If Bernie goes on the attack TOO much, the tide turns back. The real moderating effect is exactly what he faces: pushback from Hillary Clinton, mainstream news media and any number of opposing forces. The payback is that he knows this. He's already experienced it throughout his career. So this week we have already seen him come back to earth in regards to the Clinton campaign announcing quite loudly that they intended to "disqualify" him as announced on CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/06/politics/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democrats-unity/) immediately after his primary win in Wisconsin and in the Washington Post's choice of headline (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/04/06/clinton-questions-whether-sanders-is-qualified-to-be-president/) within a day or two afterwards. He plays the game the way he needs to by saying on Charlie Rose (http://www.charlierose.com/watch/60712005) that attack mode is NOT how he wants to play this game… but not without having gotten his point across first. Shoot a cannon ball across my bow, he says, and I will defend my turf.
Believe it or not, no matter what happens, he got the job done. And that's why I support what appears to be (in today's worldview) a more extreme position on the part of Bernie Sanders. I know he is unlikely to get his policies accepted without a fight in the current Republican-controlled Congress BUT he has to put out these positions as his starting place in order to get anything accomplished. Being able to work with opposing forces, and rally enough people to push forward enough of his point of view to force a compromise from the other side, has been the cornerstone of his success in Congress and as mayor of Burlington, Vermont for more than 30 years.
And I am certain—because he says this is his continued strategy straight out—that this is how he will successfully get at least some significant things done when he is president of the United States.
