How to control a motor fwd and revs picaxe -08m2
November 8, 2011
Hi everyone this is my first forums post here
I have a bit of a problem that i am trying to work out and that is how to control two motor with a picaxe school experimenter board and an -08m2 chip. This is for a very simple robot that should be able to go forward hit an object triggering a switch which will stop the robot, reverse it and then turn it around before moving off to crash into something else.
can anybody help me with any resources or circuit diagrams.
thanks very much
You will need equipment and code similar to the Start Here Robot
To control the motors bidirectionally you'll need a dual H-bridge that can handle the amperage of the motors you choose. Probably something like an L293D or SN745510 would do if you stick with small gear motors. Those will take up four of your pins and your tactile switch will use another. The board you're using has enough connections to make it work.
If this is a school project
If this is a school project you probably have to use the PICAXE, but if you don't then a simple BeetleBot would probably do what you describe. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Robot---The-BeetleBot/
Else you need what JAX is saying, an H-bridge.

'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' makes its mark
For much of the first hour of David Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," you marvel at the movie's sumptuous style, cringe at its grave horrors and wonder why exactly Fincher bothered to make it.
The laborious mystery at the center of Stieg Larsson's blockbuster novel was previously turned into a hit film by Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev in 2009. Fincher's version – which isn't so much a remake as it is a different adaptation of the book – has a grander scale, more elegant images and a distinct, demonic energy. But the new movie initially feels redundant, like an old joke with a tired punch line.
And then comes the first scene in which Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara appear on the screen together – and just like that, all is forgiven. Chemistry is one of the few things left filmmakers can't fake with CGI, and the dynamic between Craig and Mara in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is so spontaneous and sensational, it instantly elevates the movie beyond high-toned pulp into something far more affecting. This film is the first in an intended series based on Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy. But the two actors, not necessarily the convoluted plot, leave you wishing the director would hurry up and shoot the next movie.
Mara, previously best known for playing the girl who dumped Mark Zuckerberg in the first scene of "The Social Network," doesn't court sympathy with her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander, the eponymous goth-girl. With her multiple piercings, a cadaverous pallor and a hermetic demeanor, Lisbeth is the sort of weirdo you would cross the street to avoid. But Mara never leans on the clichés of the brooding loner or even Lisbeth's bizarre taste in haircuts, to bring her to life. Mara commits to the character fully, conveying the profound emotional turmoil and dysfunction churning inside Lisbeth. She gives you a glimpse into the heart of darkness she inhabits, and you can't help but be swept along as this troubled young woman succumbs to an unexpected romance. She practically transforms before your eyes.
As Mikael Blomvkist, the reporter hired to investigate an unsolved crime, Craig is the prickly center of the movie, the audience surrogate into a maze of ghastly, ritual murder. Craig embodies the confident arrogance of a journalist who has stumbled onto a criminal conspiracy, and he's good, too, at playing the character's casually brutal relationship with women. When he takes up with Lisbeth, their carnal – but still tender – affair injects heat into this chilly movie. But will this lifelong womanizer realize the profound effect he's having on this damaged young woman?
In adapting Larsson's novel, screenwriter Steven Zaillian has streamlined subplots and supporting players for the sake of clarity, but he doesn't short-change the central relationship at the heart of the story. Every aspect of this superbly made film is precise, from the creative score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to the gorgeous widescreen compositions by cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth. But the impeccable technique doesn't get in the way of the protagonists' messy emotions. The movie radiates an ice-cold heat.
With its heavy reliance on photographs, computer screens and old newspaper clippings, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is tailor-made for Fincher, who previously turned "Zodiac" into a masterpiece of police procedural and journalistic investigation and elevated the serial-killer thriller into the realm of high art with "Seven." A famously obsessive filmmaker, Fincher is fascinated by research and detail, and he makes you share his excitement as Mikael and Lisbeth piece together the clues to a seemingly unsolvable crime.
Contact the writer: Beyond its brooding surface, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is an immensely playful movie: Leave it to Fincher to use Enya's airy "Orinoco Flow" as a paean to sinister evil (who knew?), or turn the sight of a dead cat into gruesome nightmare fodder. The film's astounding opening credits, too, are the work of an artist in a cheerfully dark mood. But the movie doesn't treat the pain of its heroine lightly. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is a fabulously sinister entertainment, but it breaks your heart, too. Who expected that?

POCAHONTAS - The Alta-Aurelia girls played a Twin Lakes Conference dual golf meet against Pocahontas Area/Pomeroy-Palmer here on Thursday, but the dual was rather one-sided, as Pocahontas Area had only three girls in the varsity meet and didn't field a team in the Junior Varsity meet.
The Alta-Aurelia girls still played, though, and they played well - posting a team score (4 players) of 193 strokes. Three of the Alta-Aurelia girls shot identical scores of 47, with Kelsi Snyder taking the medal honors and Erica Lockin the runner-up medalist. April Goslinga also toured the nine holes in 47 strokes and Jenna Snyder posted a 52. Aspen Wiederholt (58) and Maddi Meier (59) also played for A-A's varsity team, which is coached by LeAnn Patton.
Emily Domath and Amber Aden each shot a 55 for PA/PP's varsity, while Shelby Trenary shot a 69. There was not a fourth player, so they weren't able to compete as a team.
The Alta-Aurelia Junior Varsity scored a team total of 262 strokes, led by Kaity Brake's medal round of 58. Val Hernandez shot a 67 for runner-up medal, Meri Kestel shot a 68 and Lyndsay Hall a 69. Steph Stange also played for the Alta-Aurelia JV, and she shot a round of 72.

Zotac is a company we mainly know for their high performance graphics cards and line of ZBOX Mini PC's. Recently they announced they were getting into the solid state drive market with their Premium Edition solid state drive line. Entering the solid state drive market for Zotac makes more sense than most companies. The solid state drive market can be very profitable, plus it gives them an option for storage with their ZBOX line of mini PCs. Zotac's Premium solid state drives are powered by the quad-core Phison S10 controller and matched with MLC NAND. Zotac will be initially offering this drive in 120 GB, 240 GB, and 480 GB versions. Today we have the 240 GB version (ZTSSD-A5P-240G-PE) on the review block. Let's see if Zotac has a winner in their Premium Edition solid state drives!

ADATA offers a wide variety of solid state drives from consumer drives to enterprise and server drives. ADATA's last XPG drive was introduced in 2012, so the line was definitely in need of a refresh. The XPG line is targeted towards gamers and enthusiasts. The new XPG SX930 features the newer JMicron JMF670H controller matched with synchronous MLC NAND. The 240GB version that we are reviewing today features sequential read and write speeds of 560 MB/s and 460 MB/s respectively. ADATA is backing this drive with a 5-year warranty and has changed the design a little to attract more gamers. Let's take a look at this drive and see what it is all about!

Kingston now has a full line of solid state drives to offer to consumers. We have already taken a look at their HyperX Predator PCI-Express solid state drive on the high end and they have their HyperX Fury, which is more entry level. Filling in the mid-range is the HyperX Savage, which effectively replaces the HyperX 3K solid state drive. The drive is powered by the Phison PS3110-S10 quad core, eight-channel controller that is the same controller that we saw on Corsair's Neutron XT drive. The drive is also Kingston's fastest SATA-based solid state drive with sequential read and write speeds of 560 MB/s and 530 MB/s respectively. Will this be the solid state drive to get in 2015? Read on as we find out!

The past year has been a real interesting one for solid state drives. The "big" companies have really taken a real interest in the consumer market and since they are the ones that own the fab houses it is really hard for smaller companies to offer an advantage in price and features. Corsair is a company we always know for quality products and have made a pretty good name for themselves in the SSD market. Today we will be taking a look at their Neutron XT 240 GB solid state drive. They have teamed with Phison, making use if their PS3110 quad-core controller and Toshiba 19 nm MLC NAND. With this combination Corsair says this drive is , "designed for the absolute best in class performance" for a 2.5-inch solid state drive". Will that hold true? Read on as we find out!

We have seen a lot of value-oriented solid state drives come out lately. Crucial had their MX100, Samsung had the 840 EVO and now it is OCZ's turn. The drive we are taking a look at today is the ARC 100 and at its current price at my online retailer the drive sits at $0.44 per GB. As many of you know Toshiba took over OCZ and while back and with that everything inside this drive is owned by OCZ / Toshiba. Powering the drive you have the Barefoot 3 M10 controller and Toshiba A19nm NAND flash. That combination gives you sequential read and write speeds of 480 MB/s and 430 MB/s respectively for the 240 GB version we are testing today. Let's jump in!

It has been a really long time since we have reviewed a product from Mushkin. Mushkin has mainly been known for memory products, but like most memory companies have moved into the storage realm with solid state drives. Today we are taking a look at their top tier SATA 6GB/s Chronos Deluxe Drive. The big difference between this drive and the normal Chronos is that it uses premium Toshiba toggle mode NAND memory and the Chronos uses asynchronous NAND memory. This is the new 7mm drive as well, so you will be able to use it as an upgrade for thin devices like your Ultrabook. Read on as we take a look at the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Solid State Drive!

Solid State Drives are becoming more and more common. I think I big reason for this is because people realize that they will give them the performance boost that they want when added to their system. The market seems to be flooded with drives and it is really hard to choose which one to get. One of the main determining factors to many people is the price. Kingston's new HyperX 3K solid state drive is designed to be very inexpensive as it uses cost effective NAND rated for 3000 program / erase cycles. We will explain what all that means later on in the review. This drive still sports the very popular SandForce SF-2281 controller and of course the quality you expect from Kingston. Read on as we check it out!

We have always known Kingston for trying to make products that are affordable. They recently released a new solid state drive in their HyperX line. They are calling this new drive the HyperX 3K, where the 3K stands for the number of program / erase cycles the NAND inside is rated for. The original HyperX drive is rated for 5K program / erase cycles, so this drives is going to be less expensive, about $100 cheaper for the 240GB version. Read on to check out our unboxing & overview video.

If you know anything about Kingston you know their HyperX line. HyperX is the name they give all of their high-end products. Kingston entered the solid state drive market with the SSDNow series of drives, but it was about time the put the HyperX name on a solid state drive. The HyperX solid state drive is a SATA 6GB/s drive powered by the SandForce SF-2281 controller, 25nm Intel NAND and boasts speeds of 555MB/s read and 510MB/s write. Kingston sent us the upgrade kit that includes a USB enclosure, 3.5-inch mounting bracket, SATA data cable, screwdriver and hard drive cloning software. Let's take a look…

Kingston has made a good push into the solid state drive market with their SSDNow Series of drives, but now they are looking to really take the market by storm with their HyperX Series of solid state drives. As you may know HyperX is the name they give to all of their high performance products so we are expecting this drive to be a powerhouse! Kingston sent us the Upgrade Kit version of this drive that comes with a USB enclosure, 3.5-inch to 2.5-inch adapter, screw driver and much more. Read on to check out our unboxing and overview video!

You just don't get it, do you? I guess nicehedges isn't the only hard headed stubborn one. NO ONE is interested in this stock any longer. Management BLEW it with the market. BLEW IT. They lost 100% confidence with their inability to make the right decisions and manage appropriately. Oh, and let's not forget they haven't bought a SINGLE SHARE on the open market since Rose made an absolutely KILLING selling his shares before the stock tanked.

Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. � 119(a), this application claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to the Korean Patent Application No. 2002-75478, filed on Nov. 29, 2002, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an image reversing apparatus of a mobile communication terminal with an integrated photographic apparatus and method thereof, and more particularly, to an image reversing apparatus of a mobile communication terminal with an integrated photographic apparatus and method thereof to correctly reproduce an inverted image.
2. Description of Related Art
In general, mobile communication terminals include cellular phones or Personal Communication Systems (PCS) having wireless communication capabilities. As the need for video/image communication emerges along with voice communication, several types of mobile communication terminals with an integrated photographic apparatus have been suggested to satisfy this demand.
Referring to
Generally, when the rotation angle of the camera 16 is approximately within 330� to 90� (based on 0� corresponding to the twelve o'clock position), such that the camera 16 is generally directed in a direction opposite the LCD screen 14, the reproduced image created by the camera 16 is correctly reproduced on the LCD screen 14 with respect to orientation. However, when the rotation angle of the camera 16 ranges approximately less than 330�, such that the camera 16 is generally directed in the same direction as the LCD screen 14, the reproduced image created by the camera is inversely reproduced on the LCD screen 14 with respect to orientation. In other words, the image is inverted so that it appears upside-down. Consequently, a correcting apparatus is required to allow for proper image reproduction.
An example of an image correcting apparatus in a mobile communication terminal having an integrated photographic apparatus is described in Japanese Patent No. 3116822, wherein a construction for reversing an inverse image is disclosed. Japanese Patent No. 3116822 describes the use of an angle sensor to detect an angle displacement that is generated when a camera body rotates on the basis of an optical axis of the lens. However, this construction is relatively complicated and large, resulting in increased fabrication cost and possibly degraded accuracy. Therefore, an improved solution is needed to correctly display an inverted image reproduced by a rotating photographic apparatus of a mobile communication terminal.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a mobile communication terminal with an integrated photographic apparatus that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art above.
An object of the present invention is to provide an inverse image reversing apparatus of a mobile communication terminal with an integrated photographic apparatus, wherein construction and cost of fabrication are simplified and reduced, respectively.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an inverse image reversing apparatus of a mobile communication terminal with an integrated photographic apparatus, wherein the accuracy of the reversed inverse image is enhanced.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a mobile communication terminal comprising a photographic apparatus rotatively installed on the terminal. Further, a magnet, which generates a flux, is installed on the photographic apparatus. A magnetic flux sensor is also installed on the terminal so that an image produced by the photographic apparatus is inverted when the magnetic flux sensor detects the magnetic flux. Rotation of the photographic apparatus a predetermined angle approximates the magnet to the magnetic flux detecting sensor.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the predetermined angle ranges from approximately 150� to approximately 180�. Also, the inverted image is reproduced on a display installed on the terminal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the mobile communication terminal is a folding type mobile communication terminal which further comprises a lower body, an upper body having a lower surface, a hinge connection element rotatingly connecting the lower body to the upper body, a display which reproduces the image produced by the photographic apparatus, and a circuit board installed in the lower body. The display is installed on the lower surface of the upper body, and the circuit board receives a signal emitted by the magnetic flux sensor to invert the image produced by the photographic apparatus. Further, the photographic apparatus is rotatively installed on the terminal at the hinge connection element, and the magnetic flux sensor is installed on the circuit board. Finally, the magnet is installed on an inner circumferential surface of the photographic apparatus and may comprise an outer circumferential surface having a curvature approximating a curvature of the inner circumferential surface of the photographic apparatus.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the terminal may further comprise a first "C" shaped guide rail formed on the inner circumferential surface of the photographic apparatus, and a second "C" shaped guide rail formed opposite the first guide rail on the inner circumferential surface of the photographic apparatus a distance approximate to the length of the magnet. The first and second guide rails receive and fixedly secure the magnet to the photographic apparatus.
According to one aspect of an alternative embodiment of the present invention, a mobile communication terminal may comprise a photographic apparatus that is rotatively installed on the terminal. Further, a magnet, which generates a flux, is installed on the photographic apparatus. A magnetic flux sensor is also installed on the terminal so that an image produced by the photographic apparatus is inverted when the magnetic flux sensor does not detect the magnetic flux. Rotation of the photographic apparatus a predetermined angle approximates the magnet to the magnetic flux detecting sensor.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to further describe the invention as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further, understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
In the drawings:
Features, elements, and aspects of the invention that are referenced by the same numerals in different figures represent the same, equivalent, or similar features, elements, or aspects in accordance with one or more embodiments.
Reference will now be made in detail to one or more embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
A magnet 200 is preferably fixed to the interior surface of the photographic apparatus 160. However, the magnet 200 can also be fixed on an external surface of the photographic apparatus 160. The magnet 200 is preferably formed in an arc shape in order to widen the magnetic flux continuously emitted by the magnet 200, as well as vary the magnetic flux density (i.e., higher density in the center of the magnet versus lower density towards the edges of the magnet). As shown in
Referring to
Referring to
However, when the photographic apparatus 160 is rotated counterclockwise from approximately 300� position to approximately 270� position (based on 0� corresponding to the 12 O'clock position and 270� corresponding to the 9 O'clock position) so that the rotation angle θ exceeds approximately 150�, the photographic apparatus 160 is inversely positioned between the approximately 300� and approximately 270� positions and faces the user (i.e., the photographic apparatus 160 is directed in the same general direction "B" as the LCD screen 140 and corresponds to approximately 270� position), as shown in
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the foregoing description of these embodiments of the present invention has been presented for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents. Preferred embodiments were shown in the context of folding type mobile communication terminals. In alternative embodiments, candy bar and PDA type terminals can be substituted for the present invention.

"this is the only place I buy shoes. I started wearing MBTs about 10 or so years ago and have never strayed! However, in this order I'm trying others. In fact, I just finished telling a friend about them. I told her to check out all of their handmade shoes and boots from Spain and Italy. Specifically, I told her about Beautifeel and Joan Oloff. Both look exquisite! In fact, I'm trying a pair of Beautiful in this order. Their shipping is perfect and their customer service is wonderful. Specifically, today (Sunday, October 25, 2015) I spoke with a customer service rep named Michelle. She was fabulously helpful!! I had many questions for her since I had discovered so many brands that I hadn't yet tried. She was very patient and extremely helpful. Please let her supervisors know that she's wonderful!!!"

In Azerbaijan we focus on:
Promoting market-driven economic diversification. The EBRD will support leading local corporates with direct financing while helping our partner banks to remain active in the corporate segment through MCFF. In the MSME sector the EBRD will place a special emphasis on the agribusiness sector, and will support local banks to develop their capacity to support agricultural and regional lending. Our continued support for regional roads will also help facilitate the development of a viable agricultural sector while facilitating integration of smaller communities.
Developing a sustainable financial sector to support private sector development. The EBRD will aim to strengthen financial intermediation to ensure efficient financing of the private sector, particularly SMEs and MSEs, including in the regions.We will promote high standards of corporate governance and risk management, which should contribute to increased competition, setting new standards and opening new markets for banks, and will support consolidation in the banking sector through potential equity investments. The EBRD will extend its co-operation with existing partner banks and assist in the development and promotion of new financial instruments to target improved access to finance for women-owned and women-run businesses, and will aim to promote energy efficiency investment projects through local banks via the Caucasus Energy Efficiency Programme.To develop local capital markets, we will seek to bring corporate (non-FI) issuers to the corporate bond market and expand the institutional and retail investor base.
Improving governance and the business environment. In order to support the authorities' goals of promoting competition and improving the business environment, the EBRD will prioritise engagement with private and public sector clients who can demonstrate commitment to high standards of corporate governance and transparency and who have a commitment to improving management practices. In parallel, we will work closely with the Government of Azerbaijan to deepen institutional and regulatory reform. Drawing on the lessons of hydrocarbons and financial sectors, the EBRD will strive to create a more favourable investment climate in the real sector by promoting improvements in the legislative framework, enhancing competition and reducing the incentives for corruption. In order for these measures to be successful, opening new channels for constructive policy dialogue with key government agencies will be crucial. The EBRS will also continue to pursue investments in energy projects that improve energy security, create new generating capacity, stimulate competition, diversify energy sources, increase efficiency, and create wider and larger markets through regional integration.
The EBRD's latest Azerbaijan strategy was adopted on 30 April 2014
- The EBRD's latest Azerbaijan strategy
- The EBRD's latest Azerbaijan strategy in Azeri
- Report on the invitation to the public to comment on the Azerbaijan strategy
EBRD forecast for Azerbaijan's Real GDP Growth in 2015 3.0%
EBRD forecast for Azerbaijan's Real GDP Growth in 2016 2.5%
In Azerbaijan, growth slowed from 5.8 per cent in 2013 to 2.8 per cent in 2014, affected by the decline in oil output. In 2014, a negative real growth contribution of agriculture and mining was offset by the positive contribution from construction, trade, transport, storage and communications. In January-September of 2015, the economy expanded by 3.7 per cent year-on-year, with non-oil GDP expanding by 6.4 per cent. Amid low oil prices, Azerbaijan's foreign currency reserves (in convertible currencies) decreased from US$ 13.2 billion in November 2014 to approximately US$ 5.3 billion in August 2015. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan's liquidity position is strong: assets of the State Oil Fund and the central bank's foreign exchange reserves collectively represented approximately 56 per cent of the 2014 nominal GDP and 26 months of imports at the end of the first half of 2015. By end-2014, public and publicly guaranteed debt was low at around 15 per cent of GDP. In February 2015, after almost two decades of stable exchange rate, the central bank devalued the manat against the US dollar by 25 per cent. This helped to contain pressure on the fiscal and external balance, but led to balance sheet concerns in the banking sector. We upgrade our Azerbaijan GDP growth forecast to 3 per cent in 2015 and 2.5 per cent in 2016.

Pawan Kalyan picks Nithin over Chiranjeevi! April 30, 2016 10:43
It is not a surprising news to know that, Pawan Kalyan is attending the audio launch of A..Aa movie, as the chief guest.Pawan Kalyan being the close friend of director Trivikram and moreover, the movie's lead actor Nithin being a huge fan of the Power Star, the actor turned politician, is making his presence to this movie function. Pawan earlier attended Ishq movie audio launch and that movie gave a bang to Nithin, who was till then treated as the outdated actor. Nithin from then, believes Pawan's hand brought him luck.Magically, his belief on his favorite idol brought him luck with hat-trick successful movies- Ishq, Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde, Heart Attack. However, the Jayam actor later faced tough time with two flops in the form of Chinnadana Nekosam and Courier boy Kalyan. May be, to add some petrol to the success journey of his fan-turned actor again, Pawan is coming forward for the audio launch. On the other side, after the news was spread that, Pawan Kalyan is the chief guest of Nithin's movie, it is creating some internal disturbances in the mega family, who is reportedly willing to question Pawan Kalyan, for his absence on the launch of Chiranjeevi's 150th film. How far, this latest issue leads to, after witnessing Pawan on A..Aa audio launch stage, is yet to be seen.By Phani ChRead More
Rs. 800 crore assets seized after raiding AP transport official houses April 30, 2016 09:58
Anti-Corruption Bureau officials, who were raiding AP deputy transport commissioner's houses in the different states since Thursday, found hundreds of crores of illegal assets. Reportedly, A. Mohan's assets were valued at Rs. 800 crore, at market value. ACB officials, led by its Central Investigation Unit DSP A. Ramadevi, raided houses of the transport official in 9 places of Telugu states and also in Karnataka. After finding the illegal property, Mohan was arrested and produced in Vijayawada's ACB court. The document value of his properties is Rs 100 crore to Rs 120 crore. ACB officials reported that, several bank lockers of Mohan, were yet to be opened and searched.The officials informed that, Mohan floated 8 companies in his elder daughter Tejasri's name, just to convert black money into white. "We could not trace the offices of the companies as per the addresses in the documents," said Ms Ramadevi. Mohan had recently transferred some property at Bellary in Karnataka to his name from his in-laws' names.Speaking on the issue, ACB's Central Investigation Unit DSP A. Ramadevi said that, during the investigation, the yet to be opened 12 lockers and several other documents in Hyderabad, would also be counted. Reportedly, Mohan initially refused to allow ACB officials into his house and even threw his mobile phone out. However, it was later discovered by the officials. In the houses of Mohan and his relatives, several precious gems and diamonds and other stones were found. By Phani ChRead More
Puri Jagannath-Kalyan Ram movie begins April 30, 2016 08:44
Movie in the combination of Puri Jagannath and Kalyan Ram has started today, where the Nandamuri hero has been spotted in a new stylish avatar. Puri recently directed Temper with Jr NTR and has given a blockbuster to the young tiger, which he was waiting since long. Kalyan Ram, who equally liked the film, has reportedly approached Puri to do a film for him. It was then, this new project has come forward. After the success of Athanokkade long back, Kalyan Ram did not have any notable hits until Pataas. Even after Pataas, Kalyan Ram faced a debacle through Sher. None of the big directors approached this talented hero till date. It was now, Puri coming forward for Kalyan, is something that is gaining attraction in the film industry. The fast track director aleady designed the look of his hero, which is now being lauded by Nandamuri fans.

As per the proposal, families, whose annual income is less than Rs. 6 lakh, will be eligible to get education and employment support. After making the discussions with BJP president Amit Shah and conducting meeting with the state cabinet ministers, Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel made the announcement. "This 10% reservation will not cause any changes to the reservation already offered to members of the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC)," CM said. Patidar community's demand since last year, for the reservation, has risen and even warned to withdraw the support to BJP government, which is one of the key vote bank of the party. In that sense, the Patidar's strong influence was even felt, after BJP and Congress had a tie in the recently held Gandhi Nagar civic polls. After 9 persons were dead in the Patel agitation in the September last year, the state government, under Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavlamban Yojna, had announced a Rs. 1,000-crore package for the economically backward community. The CM's scheme also included scholarships for the students and also age limit relaxation for the jobs, adding to it, the criterion to avail the benefits under the scheme is the annual income of the family, should not exceed Rs. 4.5 lakh. Students securing above 90% or more in Class 12, would get 50% fee waiver with a ceiling of Rs. 2 lakh per year in self-financed medical colleges, while those pursuing the engineering and pharmacy courses, would be eligible to a ceiling of Rs. 50,000. The age limit to apply government jobs was also raised from 28 years to 33 years. However, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convenor Hardik Patel on behalf of the Patel community had dismissed the package as a 'lollipop' and continued to agitate for their demands. Lukewarm response was witnessed recently, when the community attempted to hold the state to ransom with their call for 'Gujarat bandh', to protest against the imprisonment of Hardik and other community leaders.

Supreme court rules NEET as MBBS, BDS entrance test April 29, 2016 17:33
The Supreme Court on Friday said that the entrance test for the admission to MBBS and BDS courses for the academic year 2016-17 has to be held as per the schedule through the single common entrance test National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) on May 1 and July 24.The order implied that all government colleges, deemed universities and private medical colleges will be covered under the NEET and those examinations which have already taken place or slated to be conducted separately stand scrapped.A bench comprising Justices A R Dave, Shiva Kirti Singh and A K Goel had pronounced the order yesterday after rejecting the opposition for holding NEET by the states, of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and Association of Karnataka Medical Colleges, and minority institutions like CMC, Vellore, which had contended that NEET cannot be imposed on them.The apex court order had also revived the government's December 21, 2010 notification for holding a single common entrance test through NEET with a clarification that any challenge on the issue would directly come before it and no high court can interfere in it.The Centre had approached the apex Court seeking modification of its yesterday's order to allow state governments and private colleges to hold separate entrance examinations for MBBS and BDS courses for the academic year 2016-17.The apex court, in the morning indicated that it will give an urgent hearing for modification of yesterday's order, but later said it is not going to have a bench for hearing it today.Justice A R Dave, before whom the matter was mentioned by Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said, "We are not having the bench. Let the exam go on. Let them file the applications."The apex court had approved the schedule put before it by the Centre, CBSE and the Medical Council of India (MCI) for treating All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) fixed for May 1 as NEET-1.It had said that those who had not applied for AIPMT will be given the opportunity to appear in NEET-II on July 24 and the combined result would be declared on August 17 so that the admission process can be completed by September 30.In its petition, the NGO Sankalp Charitable Trust had said that the Centre, MCI and CBSE were dilly-dallying in implementing the court's order on implementing the National Eligibility Entrance Test.By PremjiRead More

Gujarat government announces 10% reservation for economically backward April 29, 2016 16:36
The Gujarat government has announced a ten per cent quota for economically backward classes in the state. A welcome move for the deserved. The new category would include members of all general categories (the ones not included in SC/ST and OBC) with family income less than Rs 6 lakh. Chief minister Anandiben Patel has promised to issue an ordinance on 1 May for the new quota."Families with income below Rs 6 lakh per annum will be eligible for this reservation," Gujarat minister Vijay Rupani said.CM Anandiben Patel said that, "the scheme will continue as an additional benefit for those who do not get benefit under the reservation."Chief minister Anandiben Patel and the state BJP president Vijay Rupani said that, "after meeting with party national President Amit Shah, today the party and the government has decided to announce 10% EBC reservation Ordinance on May 1st on the Gujarat foundation day. Benefit of this reservation will be in addition to SC/ST and OBC reservation so there will be no effect on the present reservation system. This will be in force from the upcoming academic season itself. Children of the parents who have income upto six lakh annually will get benefit."Rupani said that, "considering the feeling of the Patidar community and all other communities we have decided to give 10% EBC reservation. Congress just tried to encash the issue for political gain. We ask them why they did not gave any reservation to general caste for 60 long years. BJP has done it. We will demand from Congress to implement EBC reservation in Congress ruled states. We will fight for the 10% EBC reservation if required in High Court and Supreme Court also.'' Shankarsinh Vaghela, leader of opposition in the state assembly, said that, "the state govt announcement are just to divert attention by tokenism. 10% reservation for this huge population is not sufficient. Congress will fight for 20% EBC reservation."By PremjiRead More
Modi invited by the Speaker of the US House of Representative to address the joint meeting of Congress April 29, 2016 13:08
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited by the Speaker of the US House of Representative Paul Ryan, to address a joint meeting of the US Congress on June 8 during his visit to the United States. "The friendship between the United States and India is a pillar of stability in an important region of the world," Ryan said."This address presents a special opportunity to hear from the elected leader of the world's most populous democracy on how our two nations can work together to promote our shared values and to increase prosperity. We look forward to welcoming Prime Minister Modi to the US Capitol on June 8," he said.Modi will be the fifth prime minister of India to address a joint meeting of Congress, and the first since 2005. Earlier, Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh (July 19, 2005), Atal Bihari Vajpayee (September 14, 2000), P V Narasimha Rao (May 18, 1994) and Rajiv Gandhi (July 13, 1985) have addressed the joint meeting of the US Congress.Ronak D Desai, a Fellow at New America and an Affiliate at the Belfer Center's India and South Asia Program at Harvard University, said, "an invitation to Prime Minister Modi to address a Joint Meeting of Congress is significant, given past US policy towards Modi during his time as Chief Minister of Gujarat.""The President appreciates the important role played by Prime Minister Modi in the success of Paris Summit on Climate Change last November," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said."The White House has been in close touch with a range of Indian officials to discuss a potential visit by Prime Minister Modi to Washington. We're still engaged in those discussions. Obviously the President has a strong working relationship with Prime Minister Modi," Earnest said."President Obama has complemented the important role that Prime Minister Modi played in Paris in ensuring the successful completion of the Paris climate talks. The President had a long meeting with Prime Minister Modi in the context of that international meeting," he said."And of course, President Obama at the beginning of last year had an opportunity to be the guest of honour at India's Republic Day celebration. That obviously was a memorable visit for the President and he was the first President to be so honoured," Earnest said.By PremjiRead More
Indian biologist finds memory molecules in plants April 29, 2016 11:49
A team of researchers affiliated with the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, MIT and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has found a prion-like protein in Arabidopsis thaliana, a flowering mustard plant. A study authored by an Indian scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests prion-like proteins could hold the key to understanding what gives plants memory and aids in their decision-making. Prions are proteins that are usually referred to in relation to the spread of neuro diseases.Sohini Chakrabortee, a researcher at MIT's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (WIBR), has spent three years scanning over 20,000 proteins in plants from the mustard family and has found at least one protein that behaves like a prion and is capable of building molecular memories, such as those of exposure to a prolonged period of cold that precedes flowering."This is the first evidence that a plant protein may self-replicate as a prion - this opens up the possibility of protein-based memories in plants," said Chakrabortee.Sohini Chakrabortee has done her BSc and MSc at Delhi University before continuing her education and research at Leicester University and Cambridge University before joining MIT."When we talk about plant memories, we mean the plant that has a memory responds differently to a stimulus compared to a plant that has never experienced this before," said Can Kayatekin, a post-doctoral associate and a member of the Whitehead-MIT team."This is really, really significant, I have never, never heard of prions in plants - and I've been studying prions for about twenty years," Karim Adjou, professor at the Veterinary School of Alfort in France said."The finding of prions in plants could explain some unresolved puzzles of flowering," said Ranabir Das, a senior scientist at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore. "While the flowering process is generally understood, plants appear to somehow fine-tune their behaviour to external cues - and prion-driven mechanisms may help explain that," Das said."The prion-like structure is part of a protein involved in flowering," Jayant Udgaonkar, another senior scientist at the NCBS said. "It is a likely candidate for a protein-enabled memory mechanism in plants that would enable plants to use the memory of external weather in the regulation of its physiology."By PremjiRead More

I hadn't realized that Estes now lives in Waverly.Ā It seems he has been an instructor and artist-in-residence at Wartburg College since 2002.Ā The realtor sold Simon and Ovida Estes their home in Waverly at that time. More recently, he has helped them find a beautiful rural acreage, on which they plan to build their retirement home. He is also in the process of finding a buyer for their present place.Ā Ā
Simon Estes was born in Centerville, his parents, a coal miner and the daughter of slaves. He first studied voice at the University of Iowa before being admitted to Julliard, where he was trained and later taught.
His operatic career, which began in Europe, included ground-breaking roles for an African-American. He sang in the Berlin Opera, and was the first American to sing a title role in Bayreuth, whereĀ his "Flying Dutchman" was highly acclaimed.Ā By the mid-eighties, he was singing at New York's Metropolitan Opera. He sang Porgy in their first production of Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess," andĀ a highlight of his career came when he sang the role opposite Leontyne Price's "Aida," for the famed black soprano's farewell performance there.
Estes may soon be known as much for his philanthropy as for his singing.Ā (I found information on-line verifying this.)Ā The Simon Estes Music High School and Choir near Cape Town, South Africa; the multi-racial Simon Estes Foundation in Tulsa, OK; and a similar Foundation in Iowa, are but a few examples.Ā
For some years, the Estes made Switzerland their primary home, but now they have sold that property, and are choosing to live out their years in Iowa.Ā To me, that really 'says it all' for our beloved state!
On a lighter note, the realtor told me that Simon and Ovida were their closest neighbors, "Both of our houses face the golf course -- actually there's just the width of one of the greens between us.Ā I often remind him to leave his bathroom window open so I can hear him singing in the shower -- you know, 'Ol' Man River'Ā to start my day." Ā
It is gratifying to learn of the esteem in which Iowa is held by this famous gentleman and his wife, but I hear it is happening with ordinary folks, as well.
Locally, there are several examples of people who grew up here, went off to make their way in the wider world, and are now returning.Ā After succeeding in distant cities, they are tiring of the pressures and congestion and want to come back to a simpler, quieter lifestyle.Ā Too young to retire, they are establishing businesses which are, in part, Āmade possible by recent developments inĀ electronic communications.
Indeed, we are living in changing and interesting times.Ā I hope I'm not being too optimistic Āwhen I view all of this as a Renaissance for Rural America ! Ā
