Hey everyone,
I just got a call from a recruiter from RBC, that said that she wanted me to come into the office for an interview next week. Is this normal at RBC, that they skip the phone interview and invite you straight in for an office interview? Other than that, does anyone know the interview process, the questions that will be asked, techs/fits, work culture, pay, hours, any insight will be much appreciated. Thank you!
P.S. -- Frankly, I am surprised I got this interview. I come from a non-target, with only one summer analyst internship at a BB. Any insight on this group and/or firm will really help me. Thanks again!

Okay, I guess I'm a tad surprised because I haven't been getting that many interviews, even with the BB internship. I'm excited that I got this interview, esp. just one round? Anyways, still looking for some insight on this opp., mostly how the interview process is and the types of questions that will be asked. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, did you apply online or through a referral? I would expect a normal mix between fit and technicals. Did they tell you how many people you will be interviewing with? Also, this appears to be pretty early for them to be conducting interviews at all.
Online. And no, they did not tell me that. All they asked was if I wanted to come in or an interview or not.

Alright interesting. I have not applied yet online but the guy who is referring my application is supposed to call me to talk in the next week or so. Also says online that first rounds will be done beginning January 7. And I am surprised they would have you interviewing for a FIG group at this stage (unless that is where your prior experience was).

With RBC, I also went straight to an in-person interview from a standard online app (no references). So that's not uncommon for them.
Regarding culture, the Houston and San Antonio offices had some of the best-natured people I've ever met.
Good luck!

This wasn't for FIG, but here was my experience. What office are you interviewing with?
Office in Houston:
First round:
- 1 Associate
- 2 VPs
Lasted about 2 hours, with people coming in and out at their leisure.
Second Round:
- 1 MD - Dinged in about 20 minutes (not sure why)
Still, they liked me enough to send my resume to San Antonio. The VP was in town (Austin) and we had an informal meeting at a coffee shop. Couldn't continue to next round because I accepted an offer and had to move.
Honestly, the interviews were really laid back, almost entirely fit questions. Actually, almost entirely conversational in nature. They asked about:
- My Excel proficiency (Can you do macros, VBA, Solver?)
- Why this sector (Pub-Fin IB)
- Why RBC
- Past experience
- Specific questions related to the industry
Really standard questions, but extra friendly. You'll be fine, man.
Nothing short of everything will really do.
You may be alluding to campus recruiting? I think this is more of an experienced analyst role, albeit I just graduated this past June. And, my past exp. was in M&A (that's it). So, I don't know, pretty weird that they would have me skip the phone interview (maybe because they need someone RIGHT NOW?).
Thanks man for your feedback. I am interviewing for their NYC office. My excel is average, but I don't know too much about macros, VBA or solver. I am solid in modelling though. Which techs did they ask you?

I called someone from this forum about RBC once. He interviewed in NY and said they were brand-shopping pretty hard with their hiring.
This interview was for bonds so:
What was 10-year treasury today.
What publications do you check.
Bond price goes down, yield goes____.
Which has a higher current yield, [2 price situations].
So you have any securities experience--investments of your own? I just said "no" like a fucking idiot.
As I reply it becomes more clear that we were in very dissimilar our situations. Other than the name of the bank, I don't think I have much to offer so you may want to talk to someone else, haha.
Nothing short of everything will really do.

Using what OS? What backend? Creating the bufferevent with what flags? If windows, using IOCP?
Do you have a test program to reproduce this with?
It's visible only on local connections, on services that uses welcome banners (like SMTP).
Connecting bufferevent sometimes raise readcb first and then eventcb.
Tested on: libevent v2.0.10
Using what OS? What backend? Creating the bufferevent with what flags? If windows, using IOCP?
Do you have a test program to reproduce this with?
Linux 2.6.x on x86_64. I don't know how to check which backend was used (I'm new to libevent), but event_get_supported_methods gives three: epoll, poll and select (in this order).
# gcc race.c -o race -Wall -levent_core -levent_extra
# ./race
220 localhost ESMTP Exim
# ./race
220 localhost ESMTP Exim
# ./race
220 localhost ESMTP Exim
test program:
#include <event2/dns.h>
#include <event2/bufferevent.h>
#include <event2/buffer.h>
#include <event2/util.h>
#include <event2/event.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void readcb(struct bufferevent *bev, void *ptr)
char buf[1024];
int n;
struct evbuffer *input = bufferevent_get_input(bev);
while ((n = evbuffer_remove(input, buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0) {
fwrite(buf, 1, n, stdout);
void eventcb(struct bufferevent *bev, short events, void *ptr)
if (events & BEV_EVENT_CONNECTED) {
int main(int argc, char **argv)
struct event_base *base;
struct event_dns_base *dns_base;
base = event_base_new();
dns_base = evdns_base_new(base, 1);
struct bufferevent *bev;
bev = bufferevent_socket_new(base, -1, BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE);
bufferevent_setcb(bev, readcb, NULL, eventcb, base);
bufferevent_enable(bev, EV_READ|EV_WRITE);
bufferevent_socket_connect_hostname(bev, dns_base, AF_INET, "localhost", 25);
return (0);
Okay, so unless you're doing something unusual, you're getting the epoll backend (it's listed first).
The likeliest reason you'd see this behavior, as near as I can tell, is this: when you're connecting, the bufferevent with EV_READ and EV_WRITE enabled is listening for read and write events via the libevent core interface. If the TCP finishes the connection and data arrives quickly, then the socket will be readable and writeable at the same time. (This is where the race happens: does the data arrive at the kernel before or after the kernel has a chance to tell Libevent that the socket is writeable and hence connected?)
When the same fd is both readable and writeable, Libevent doesn't define the order in which the read and write callbacks get invoked. So if the read callback is invokved first, the bufferevent's bufferevent_readcb function will read data and call your read callback first, and if the write callback bufferevent_writecb is invoked first, your connected callback will get called first.
For 2.0 stable, I think the best solution here is to document the behavior. It's undesirable, but there should be an easy workaround: If you don't want a read callback to get triggered before the connect event callback, don't do bufferevent_enable(bev, EV_READ) until the connection is complete.
For 2.1, I think we should fix the behavior. The right fix is probably something like checking whether the "connecting" flag is set when we get a call to bufferevent_readcb, and if so handling the connected event from bufferevent_readcb. (Or something like that.)
I can re-produce this using libevent 2.0.22, with this as the server:
$ while date | nc -l 9999 ; do echo . DONE ; sleep 1 ; done
this as the client:
$ while sleep 2 ; do nc localhost 10000 ; echo -n . ; done
and this as the invocation of sslsplit:
$ sslsplit -D tcp 127.0.0.1 10000 127.0.0.1 9999
If I further modify sslsplit so that EV_READ is disabled until after the connection callback, then I find I get another error which is that sometimes the write callback occurs before the connection callback. (Maybe once in a few hundred times)
This early writecb callback also occurs on a different thread than the one performing the connect.
I think this is because the localhost connect is quick enough to complete in bufferevent_sock.c AFTER calling evutil_socket_connect() but before setting bufev_p->connecting.
I think the main mistake is to call bufferevent_setfd(bev, fd); before setting bufev_p->connecting, as this allows the write callback to occur (on another thread) and not catch the connecting flag.
A more surprising side effect is that the write callback (or event callback if we fix this) will occur on another thread BEFORE the connecting threads call to bufferevent_socket_connect() even returns.
Of course this can be justified, and the caller should be sure that all other contexts used by the callback are established before calling bufferevent_socket_connect().
However this early callback occurs even if BEV_OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS was set which certainly adds to the surprise. I can see how in that case the author might not expect the callback to occur until AFTER the callback currently being executed returns to the event loop (even if a different thread is then used).
It also leaves a difficulty where the callback of the new connection is using the same context structs as the callback that made the new connection, the author now needs to manage locking on those during setup phase.
I'm also concerned about pointer aliasing in bufferevent_socket_connect() as bev and bufev_p point to the same struct. Has any thought been given to that, possibly it is a cause of some of this trouble?
(I suppose it could actually be this same mechanism by which the read callbacks were happening early too, if on another thread).

BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981 pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
£2000, that's the amount of pocket money you'll have to have saved up to afford the beauty that is the BlackBerry Porsche Design P'9981 smartphone.
The Porsche Design designed P'9981 packs a stainless steel frame hewn from a single block of metal, is hand-wrapped leather back, and weighty like a rather fine fountain pen.
Designed in co-operation with Tood Wood, Research In Motion's head of design, in the hand and it is bigger than the BlackBerry Bold 9900, but still follows the same design ethos, even if it has been tricked out with a new keyboard that incidentally comes from the same metal as the casing.
That keyboard is just as good to type on as all the BB keyboards and while it runs BB OS 7 (no BBX just yet), Porsche has been allowed, with RIMs permission, to skin the OS creating a new set of exclusive icons to go with the hardware design.
Inside and you get basically the same package as the BlackBerry Bold 9900. There are some changes of course like a different aerial system to get around all that metal.
For those a little rusty on their BB specs, that's a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM 8655 1.2GHz processor, 768MB of RAM and runs BlackBerry 7.
The screen is a 2.8-inch touchscreen one, with a 640x480 resolution (287dpi) and there's NFC capabilities too, to go alongside the Wi-Fi, GPS and 3G connectivity.
Storage is 8GB, expandable with hot swappable microSD - something that isn't the case with the BB Bold 9900, and whipping off that leather, not faux leather, backplate will reveal a replaceable battery as well.
Research In Motion tell us that it will be coming to the UK before the year is out, making it that perfect Christmas present for the BlackBerry user that believes they have everything.
Like Marmite we suspect you'll either love it or hate it.

This rumour has taken on many forms, claiming that Coca‑Cola, due to its acidic nature, can be used to clean toilets and corrosion from car batteries, loosen a rusted bolt and remove rust spots from car bumpers, remove grease from clothing, clean road haze from windshields, cook a steak, dissolve teeth and bake a moist ham. The last one, baking a ham basted with Coca‑Cola produces, is actually true and does produce a delicious gravy!
There is a small amount of edible acid present in many foods, including fruit juices and soft drinks, such as Coca‑Cola. These foods are not acidic enough to harm your body tissues – in fact, your own natural stomach acid is stronger. It is possible that the edible acid in any of these products could have the effects described, even though it's still quite safe to drink these products. However, we don't make any claims relating to other uses. Instead, we recommend using products specifically designed for cleaning or rust removal.

Two children are believed to be the first fatalities of a savage cyclone that has hit Samoa.
The small but powerful Cyclone Evan has battered the country, inflicting a severe ocean surge on the capital Apia. The city has been largely evacuated due to massive damage.
The Disaster Management Office (DMO) has not confirmed the deaths, but as is traditional in Samoa, families have posted announcement on state radio, advising of the family tragedy.
The children are believed to have drowned near Apia Park, a low lying area in the eastern side of the capital.

Earlier this evening DMO reported that a feared ocean surge was hitting the northern coast of Samoa, including Apia.
"The storm surge is hitting us now, it is really high, 12 to 15 feet (3.6 to 4.5 metres)," a DMO official said on a failing phone line.
Phones and electricity are out across much of the country and tourists in the Aleipata area of south eastern Samoa have fled the coast.
There are believed to be dozens of New Zealand tourists in the area.
"They have gone up higher but the wind is very strong and there is going to be damage there."
An early indication of the ferocity of the surge and heavy flooding is a report from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs which has closed the High Commission on Beach Road, Apia, because of severe damage.
The New Zealand High Commission is nearby.
Aggie Greys Hotel in Samoa, further east on Beach Road and one of the Pacific's best-known hotels, has been heavily damaged by the cyclone.
An eyewitness says the Vaisigano River has swept into the hotel, destroying much of its famed fale restaurant and the premier fale rooms.
"The water is up to the third floor of the hotel and the guests are huddling in the upper rooms," the witness said.
The hotel began its life during World War Two with the late Aggie Grey selling hamburgers to American troops.
New Zealand Government officials are already preparing to assess damage and offer urgent help, an official said.
Although the mobile phone networks remain operational, the lack of power means most cellphones are now drained.
Earlier today DMO issued an urgent appeal for all people in the low lying areas of Apia to "move to higher ground".
Increasing fears of a significant disaster are signs that Evan is beginning to stall over American Samoa and further intensify.
Increasing fears of a significant disaster are signs that Evan is beginning to stall over American Samoa and further intensify.
A Samoa Meteorological Service bulletin at 8pm (NZ and Samoa time) said Cyclone Evan was 11 kilometres east of Aleipata or 50 kilometres southeast of Apia.
It is moving east at around 8t kilometres an hour with storm winds of 92 to 102 kmh within 48 kilometres of its centre.
"If it continues on its current track, its centre is expected to be located at about 39 miles (63 kilometres) east-southeast of Apia at 12:00 midnight and there is a possibility for TC Evan to re-curve back within another 12-24 hours," the bulletin said.
The projection puts it half way between Samoa and American Samoa.
DMO said the Vaisigano, Lelata, Alamagoto, Moamoa and Tufuiopa rivers are flooding.
The notice was issued at 5pm (NZ time) and effects thousands of people how have been urged to go to evacuation centres.
One Samoan national on Twitter reported that the country's only McDonald's has been heavily damaged. Other pictures near the area suggest water if flowing heavily through the central Apia area.
Earlier in the day New Zealand High Commissioner Nick Hurley was unable to reach his home in Vailima, above the city, but got there early tonight.
He described scenes of major devastation on the Cross Island Road out of Apia.
"There is a lot of vegetation, very big trees down all over the place," he said.
Earlier today Air New Zealand has cancelled its flight in and out of Samoa.
An Air New Zealand official confirmed that 136 passengers had checked in before it was cancelled and they hope to get them to Samoa tomorrow on a replacement charter flight.
Staff and guests at Aleipata's Taufau Beach Resort have been moved out of the beach fales.
The area was badly hit during the tsunami which killed 189 people across the region.
Taufua's manager Sili Apelu said this morning that the area was being buffeted by strong winds and drizzle ahead of Evan's arrival.
The seas were rough but not immediately threatening to the resort, but he said they had decided to move guests who are staying in beach fale to another part of the resort, atop a cliff overlooking the bay.
"We told them at breakfast that it was important we move them up the hill," he said.
He added that Samoa radio was reporting severe weather in Apia.
The US Embassy in Apia has warned its nationals to take care.
"US citizens staying in beach fales are advised to immediately identify more secure lodging or contact the Disaster Management Office for information on nearby shelter," the embassy says.
Evan, the first cyclone of the South Pacific 2012-2013 season, is likely to be the first big test for a massive seawall built around Apia's Harbour following two ruinous cyclones in the 1990s.
Evan may further intensify over the weekend hitting the vulnerable Tongan islands of Niuafo'ou and Niuatoputapu, both of which suffered severe damage in the 2009 South Pacific tsunami which killed 189 people across the region.
The Fiji Meteorological Service is tentatively projecting that Evan will then hit the Fiji island of Taveuni and on into the main Fijian islands, including the capital Suva.
The UN Disaster Management Office in Samoa has met to discuss the potential impact and necessary preparedness measures.
Samoa has been blessed with largely quiet cyclone seasons since suffering major economic disasters in the early 1990s.
In 1990, Cyclone Ofa killed seven people and a year later Cyclone Val passed over Samoa and then effectively stopped for five days over the islands killing 16 people and causing severe housing and agricultural damage.

Garden Grocer went above and beyond to track down a bag of groceries our hotel misplaced. Great customer service, would definitely use them again when we return to Disney.
I ordered on line. I was refered to Garden Grocer from a Disney Agent. It was a wonderful service. When I had to make some amendments to my ordered it taken care by Jennifer. My order was waiting for me when I arrived at my resort. I couldn't be more pleased Thank You.
This was a fantastic service. It would have cost us more to take a cab to and from the grocery store than the cost of the delivery, let alone, not having to shop for the items ourselves! It made for an even more relaxing vacation to have the groceries at our hotel upon arrival.

NOFX Coaster (Fat Wreck Chords)
A new NOFX record is always a pleasant surprise since it means the band is still kicking after 25 years of hard skating and boozing. If you're waiting for the band to transform itself into a totally different beast after a quarter of a century, you'll have to keep waiting. There are a couple of Chuck Berry-style riffs on "We Called It America" and some rockabilly undertones on "Blasphemy (The Victimless Crime)." Other than that, Coaster is nearly indistinguishable from the other 10 LPs that preceded it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The band still goes hard and refuses to wussify. That should keep folks still on the NOFX train onboard. (SM)

Math Project Day
Submitted: 02/12/2013
Story By Ryan Abney
- We know math is important in our daily lives. But getting kids excited about it isn't always easy.
Today at Northwoods Community Elementary School in Rhinelander showed students that math can be entertaining and educational.Math Project Day had students solving problems, using fractions and even learning about finances.
4th Grade Teacher Julie Krouze knows math isn't always exciting, but it's important.
"Children creating their own math games help them to think outside the box from teaching somebody else these skills."
4th grader Shyla Wickham loves math even when it's not Math Project Day.
But she likes to see her friends excited about learning.
"My favorite part about it is probably having everyone happy and experiencing everyone elses' game. Math can be fun. It's not always like oh this is so boring. It can make it really fun."
Math isn't the only subject that gets its own day. Northwoods Community does a different subject every month.

Peanut brittle makes an appearance at Kentuck Day Festival
Submitted: 07/29/2016
Play Video
- Nearly 200 vendors will make their way to Crandon this weekend for the annual Kentuck Day Festival.
Among them is a former nationally ranked snow-cross racer turned peanut brittle chef.
22-year-old Stephanie Schmidt used to race snowmobiles competitively.
Now, she uses ingredients like sugar and peanuts to land her in the winner's circle.
"The younger generation doesn't know what it is and it's really good," said Schmidt. "It's a shame that people don't know what it is and it's really fun to make."
She has spent the last couple of days preparing her famous peanut brittle to sell at the festival.
At last year's festival, she nearly ran out within the first few hours and had to make about 90lbs total in just one day.
"We're preparing way more than we did last year and I hope to have like 150 to 200 bags ready to go," said Schmidt.
All the money Stephanie makes from the peanut brittle goes towards her history graduate degree at UW-Milwaukee.
Stephanie is hoping to make nearly $700 from sales Saturday.
The Kentuck Day Festival will take place Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

Dilip Kumar shifted out of ICU
Mumbai: Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, who was under observation in the intensive care unit of Lilavati hospital following a heart attack, was Sunday shifted out after improvement in his health, said Murshid Khan, an aide.
Khan is the manager of Dilip Kumar`s wife and yesteryear actress Saira Banu.
"Dilipji is absolutely fine now. He is feeling much better. He has been shifted to the normal ward from the ICU. Most probably he will get discharged in the next three days," Murshid Khan told IANS.
The 90-year-old actor was hospitalised Sunday evening after he complained of uneasiness.
A leading light of the Mumbai film fraternity, the thespian entertained movie buffs for six decades both as a lead hero and as character artist in films like `Jwar Bhata`, `Mela`, `Naya Daur`, `Tarana`, `Ganga Jamuna`, `Leader`, `Mughal-E-Azam`, `Shakti`, `Karma` and `Saudagar`.
After the 1998 film `Qila`, he decided to bow out of films.

The invention relates to a discharge lamp which is provided with a main discharge tube and an outer envelope enveloping this tube, a capacitor belonging to a circuit for operating that discharge tube being disposed between that discharge tube and the outer envelope.
A discharge lamp of the type indicated is, for example, known from U.S. Pat. No. 2,369,767. A disadvantage of that known lamp is that its base is relatively large because that base also comprises an electric circuit element for igniting and feeding the discharge tube.
It is an object of the improvement to provide a discharge lamp of the type mentioned in the preamble in which a relatively small lamp base will do.
A discharge lamp according to the invention provided with a main discharge tube and an outer envelope enveloping this tube, a capacitor belonging to the circuit for operating that discharge tube being disposed between that discharge tube and the outer envelope is characterized in that also a starter discharge tube for starting a discharge in the main discharge tube is present between the main discharge tube and the outer envelope.
An advantage of this discharge tube is that it may have a relatively small base. Namely, this base need not contain further circuit elements but only feed-through conductors.
It should be noted that it is known per se to start a high-pressure discharge lamp by means of an external semiconductor starter, see for that purpose, for example, German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,009,442. However, a disadvantage thereof is that such a starter increases the cost of installation of a lighting arrangement provided with such a lamp.
The invention is based on the notion to accommodate the circuit elements required for starting the lamp in the space between the main discharge tube and the outer envelope, that is to say not in the lamp base and also not -- as an external starter -- outside of the lamp.
In a discharge lamp according to the improvement the main discharge tube may, for example, be spatially located between the starter discharge tube and the capacitor.
It would be conceivable that one or both elements situated between the main discharge tube and the outer envelope are shielded from direct thermal radiation of the main discharge tube by means of a heat shield.
In a preferred embodiment of a discharge lamp according to the invention, in which this lamp is constructed as a high-pressure discharge lamp, that element of the two elements between the discharge tube and the outer envelope which is the more heat-resistant forms a shield against the direct heat rays which are directed towards the less heat-resistant element and which emerge from the main discharge tube in the operating condition of the lamp.
An advantage of this preferred embodiment is that the more heat-resistant element, for example the starter discharge tube, provided with a wall of glass then performs a dual function, for example, besides the starter function it also performs a protective function for the other element, namely the capacitor.
In a further preferred embodiment according to the invention the starter discharge tube is constructed as a glow discharge starter which is electrically in parallel with both the main discharge tube and the capacitor.
An embodiment of the invention will be further explained with reference to a drawing.
This drawing shows a perspective view -- with a partly cut-away outer envelope -- of a high-pressure sodium vapour discharge lamp according to the invention.
In the drawing, reference 1 represents a main discharge tube which is situated in an outer envelope 2 which envelopes the tube 1. Reference 3 indicates a base of the lamp. The total length of the lamp is approximately 17 cm and the largest width of the outer envelope 2 is approximately 7.5 cm.
Between the discharge tube 1 and the outer envelope 2 there is also a starter discharge tube, namely a glow discharge starter 4, and a ceramic capacitor 5. Both the glow discharge starter 4 and the capacitor 5 are electrically connected in parallel with the discharge tube 1. To that end both a first input terminal of the glow discharge starter 4 and a first input terminal of the capacitor 5 are connected to a first supply lead 6 of the discharge tube 1. In addition, a second input terminal of the glow discharge starter 4 and a second input terminal of the capacitor 5 are connected to a second supply lead 7 of the discharge tube 1. The supply lead 7 has at the side which faces away from the base 3 a curved portion 8, by means of which a flexible suspension of the discharge tube 1 is obtained, as well as an additional metal strip 9, which ensures the current supply. The other end of the supply lead 7 leads to the cylindrical portion of the base 3. The supply lead 6 is connected to a centre contact 10 of the base 3. Reference 11 is a getter ring for maintaining vacuum between the tube 1 and the outer envelope 2.
The depicted lamp is connected via a stabilisation inductance (not shown in the drawing) of approximately 0.6 Henry to a mains power supply of approximately 220 Volts. 50 Hz.
In a practical embodiment the lamp is a 70 Watts lamp, wherein the discharge tube 1 contains sodium, mercury and a rare gas, namely xenon. The length of the discharge tube 1 is approximately 5.5 cm and the width approximately 0.5 cm. The arc voltage of that tube 1 is approximately 90 volts.
The starting voltage of the glow discharge starter 4, which is provided with a bimetal strip is approximately 170 volts.
The capacitance of the capacitor 5 is approximately 1 nanofarad. It is a non-lacquered ceramic capacitor which is connected into the circuit by means of clamping contacts. This capacitor 5 may be non-lacquered because it is arranged in vacuum.
The described lamp has a luminous flux of approximately 5000 lumens.
The base 3 only contains two feed-through conductors and may, consequently, be relatively small. In the present case it is a so-called E-27 lamp base whose outer circumference is approximately 27 mm.
On switch-on of the lamp an electric voltage is applied between the leads 6 and 7. This produces a glow discharge in the starter 4. The generated heat causes the bi-metal strip -- in that starter 4 -- to bend so that the starter contacts contact each other. Then the discharge tube 1 and the capacitor 5 are short-circuited for a short while. The current is then only limited by the ballast inductance. As the bimetal in the starter 4 now cools again, the contact of the starter 4 opens shortly thereafter. This elimination of the short circuit of the capacitor 5 results in a voltage peak across inter alia the discharge tube 1, whereupon the discharge in that tube 1 is started. If this does not happen the first time, the above-described starting procedure is repeated.
After the discharge in the discharge tube 1 has started the voltage across the tube decreases and, consequently, also across the glow discharge starter, to an ultimate value of approximately 90 volts. At this voltage the glow discharge starter no longer starts, as its starting voltage is around approximately 170 volts.
A great advantage of the described lamp according to the improvement is that no external starter is required anymore and that, furthermore, the lamp base 3 can be small. This results from the fact that the two lamp-starting components, namely the glow discharge starter 4 and the capacitor 5 are disposed between the discharge tube and the outer envelope of the lamp.
The glow discharge starter 4 provided with a wall of glass furthermore protects the capacitor 5 from direct heat rays which emerge from the main discharge tube 1.

Chinese Foreign Minister Holds Talks With Sushma Swaraj
The entire gamut of bilateral ties including the contentious boundary issue was discussed during a "cordial and substantive" engagement between the foreign ministers of India and China here who met within two weeks of installation of the Narendra Modi government.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj met for three hours today to talk about "perennial" bilateral issues which were not specified by an Indian Spokesperson but are believed to have included the boundary dispute, incursions, issuance of stapled visas by China to certain category of Indians, construction of dams on Brahmaputra river and increased Chinese investments.
Dispatched here by Chinese President Xi Jinping as his Special Envoy to meet with India new leadership, Wang was effusive in his praise for the new government saying it had injected new vitality into an ancient civilization. "The international community is closely following developments in India and the Chinese and Indian dreams have a lot of commonalities," the Chinese leader was quoted as speaking by the Spokesperson.
The talks were described as "cordial, useful, productive and substantive" by the MEA Spokesperson, who said, "Even while there was a determination to add new content and substance to the relationship, there was an understanding that respect for the sensitivities and aspirations of each other was an essential for expansion of bilateral relations."
However, the Spokesperson did not specify the issues, saying, "The perennials of India-China engagement are well known to you so I will not list them in a detailed manner but would like to say that all issues of significance were raised and discussed in a frank manner."
Wang, who arrived in the wee hours today, will call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow.
The Spokesperson said the Chinese leader stated that his country welcomes and supports development of India and also that China was ready to engage with the new Government as the two leaders felt that there was untapped potential for growth of economic ties.
The two leaders discussed ways to increase Chinese investments in India through setting up of industrial parks, various infrastructure projects among others. There was also a discussion on how to address India's concern of huge trade deficit of nearly USD 40 billion, the officials said.
China is India's biggest trading partner with two-way trade standing close to USD 65 billion.
Swaraj and Wang were assisted by their delegations comprising senior officials from the foreign ministry during the meeting which included a working lunch.
The MEA Spokesperson said there was a discussion on the possible opportunities for engagement during the course of the year at high levels – both in terms of bilateral visits and meetings on the margins of various multilateral meets in which leaders from both the countries are likely to participate.
Noting that potential exists for intensive engagement of leaderships of India and China, he said, "By our count if we take the possible engagements likely between our senior leader ship and that of China I could easily say that there are likely to be at least half a dozen such meetings."
"By senior leadership I mean President, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Foreign Minister", the Spokesperson said and termed today's meeting as "productive beginning between the new government of India and the Chinese government".
Asked if issue of counter-terrorism was raised, the Joint Secretary in the China division Gautam Bambawale said the matter did "come up" and noted that there was an India-China joint working group on the issue.
Wang appreciated India's position on the recent terror incidents in China, he said.
About other issues discussed during the meeting, the officials said the two leaders had comprehensive talks on international regional issues of mutual interest.
Asked if nuclear and South China Sea issues figured during the talks, the officials said all "perennial" issues of bilateral, regional and international nature were discussed comprehensively.
External Affairs Minister has articulated all issues comprehensively, the Spokesperson said.
The MEA Spokesperson said Swaraj also sought increase in number of pilgrims for Kailash Mansoravar Yatra as well as more routes to the holy shrine.
He said the External Affairs Minister thanked Wang for keeping the cost of the Yatra on the Chinese side constant for the last so many years.
The Spokesperson said no decision has been made when asked whether India has agreed to China's request for President Pranab Mukherjee's participation in celebrations marking 60 years of Panchsheel, the five principles of peace proposed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and his Chinese counterpart Zhou Enlai in 1954.
From Chinese side, it is understood that the issue of Tibet was raised, with India reiterating its position that Tibet was a part of the Chinese territory and it will not allow Tibetans to conduct political activities against China in India.
According to officials, today's meeting was more to understand each other's positions on various strategic and crucial issues in the India-China relationship.

This sounds sane to me. The only additions I would make are that Ty Cobb's personality issues can be easily overrated; he was one of the VERY first southerners to make good in the Majors, and so had to deal with culture shock. He also had just had bad family issues (mom killed dad). Worse, he wasn't at home to prevent the murder, because he was off playing baseball, which his dad had forbidden him to do. His dad wanted him to become an educated gentleman, like dad was (schoolteacher). A lot of the last parts of Cobb's career, and pretty much all of his post-career life, he spent trying to live the life of a gentleman as best he could. Being a gentleman, at this time, was VERY important in society. He was certainly a racist, but in 1906, from Georgia, pretty much everyone was except the black guys themselves. And if the writer here wants more ammo, in the 1800s, cocaine was widely and publicly advertized as a PED in baseball. Ty Cobb probably came into the game just as the cocaine was drifting out. - Brock Hanke2. Bitter Mouse, Space Tyrant Posted: November 30, 2012 at 03:18 PM (#4313593)
I endorse this article.3. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: November 30, 2012 at 03:23 PM (#4313601)
Meh. I'm pro-Bonds and Clemens in the HOF, but this gets the other side's argument wrong I think. The vitriol against PEDs is because they help performance, and are outside the bounds of the rules or law or whatever standard the proponent of the argument is using. So to compare it to drinking alcohol, or being despicable, or arguably cocaine is silly, because those don't help your performance.
Now greenies, yea, that's a legit point.
Agreed, excellent article.5. SoSH U at work Posted: November 30, 2012 at 03:42 PM (#4313630)
Re Cobb: it's true, his behavior circumstances are more complex than some think. But the bad is definitely there and simply isn't easy to sweep under the rug, including four documented assaults on blacks and one on a handicapped person during the first few decades of the 20th century. If what I've read is correct, three of those incidents ended up in lawsuits against him, which he either lost or settled out of court. It's one thing to say "he was a product of his time" to explain his racist beliefs, but being a violent sociopath simply isn't excusable under any circumstances.
Whether that constitutes a Character Clause issue regarding the HoF is of course another question. Regardless, when Cobb was elected, there was no Character Clause in HoF voting. As I understand it, this dates from 1944, and by then Cobb, Tris Speaker, John McGraw, Babe Ruth, and Rogers Hornsby (folks I've often seen cited as some of the Hall's potentially most questionable members using this criteria) had been enshrined.
It's a witch hunt, and this voter isn't joining it. I can't reveal everyone for whom I'm voting because I don't have my ballot yet, and since I'll be voting for the maximum 10 players after voting for just five last year, I'm going to have to leave a player or two off the 2013 ballot I would ordinarily have voted for.
His ballot last year:
1 - Bagwell
2 - McGwire
3 - D. Murphy
4 - T. Raines
5 - L. Smith
Yes, 1944 is the start of the written character clause in HOF voting. Prior to that, there had only been an informal understanding, initiated by Alexander Cleland, that character would be considered in the election process.7. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: November 30, 2012 at 04:36 PM (#4313698)
[5] And he listed six new guys on the new ballot, meaning he's either going to not vote for one of the new guys or he'll have to knock off somebody from last year.8. Gonfalon Bubble Posted: November 30, 2012 at 04:46 PM (#4313716)
Yes, 1944 is the start of the written character clause in HOF voting.9. bjhanke Posted: November 30, 2012 at 04:46 PM (#4313718)
Added after that dirtbag Gehrig snuck through the cracks, like the termite he was.
Um, I'm an old Reconstructed Hippie (the infamous college class of '69), and have taken my share of illegal drugs. I also did 27 years of an odd form of stick fighting. It wasn't the major leagues, but it was a competitive sport. I never took an illegal drug before an actual fight, but, just because I thought someone should know what these drugs did, I did take some in my backyard and then fought with a friend of mine, who kept it slow and easy in case I got distracted. That is, I actually studied the issue in person.10. bjhanke Posted: November 30, 2012 at 04:54 PM (#4313729)
Greenies (amphetamines) and cocaine are BEYOND ANY QUESTION performance enhancing drugs. There is more evidence for either of them - good, clinical studies that support the idea that someone on these drugs has a heightened energy AND focus - than for all steroids combined. The main difference between greenies and coke is that cocaine only lasts for about 20 minutes, which is why Tim Raines kept a pouch of it in his uniform pocket. He had to snort every inning in the dugout. Greenies lasted 4 hours with similar effects. You could also get time-released dexedrine, which is the "diet pill" that the mother refers to in Hairspray. That lasted 8 hours, but wasn't as powerful, unless you took lots of them, which players in the 1960s did. LSD, in very small doses, is also a PED, although you have to keep the dosage low to avoid hallucinating. I believe every word that Dock Ellis said about his no-hitter. Acid had the same effect on me as a fighter. Oh, and greenies and dexedrine are good hangover cures, at least short-term, according to a few ballplayers I have read. That was apparently one of the most popular uses for them. I don't think that coke cures hangovers.
Magic mushrooms and mescaline (peyote cactus) aren't PEDs, even in low doses. They are like LSD, but without the extra energy and focus. Marijuana mellows you out. Unless your problem playing is that you're too hyperactive or ADD or something, it's a Performance UN-enhancing drug. So is alcohol, unless you're an alcohol addict and can't really function without a beer or three in you (see Paul Waner). - Brock Hanke
Also, I wasn't trying to sanitize Cobb, just put his behavior into a context. Being a kid from what amounted to a foreign country, and then finding out that most of your teammates thought Southerners were all evil slavers had to have magnified the already-present traits. - Brock

The Knicks have won six in a row -- the longest current streak in the NBA -- and their Friday night opponent, Charlotte, has lost eight straight road games by an average of 23.1 points.
The Knicks' last winning streak of at least seven straight games -- the longest in the Carmelo Anthony era -- came more than a year ago (Feb. 4-15, 2012).
Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Garden. Here are three main things to watch for:
1. "Just Remarkable" for a third time? J.R. Smith is coming off two consecutive games with 30 or more points, and the Knicks won both games. Smith has been a man on a mission, attacking the rim in transition and in half-court sets. With the Bobcats struggling as of late, the sky's the limit for the Knicks' sixth man.
Smith has also applied his aggressiveness to the glass. To go along with his scoring outbursts in the past two games, he had eight offensive rebounds (four per game). Without the injured Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire, Smith has given the Knicks another sorely needed inside punch besides Anthony.
2. A more efficient Melo? In his past two games, Anthony shot 33.3 percent and 40 percent from the field -- and he combined for 50 attempts. On the season, he's shooting 43.5 percent.
Anthony recently returned from injury, and the Knicks are loading up on him in the low post so he can take most of the shots; therefore, defenses are making it a bit tougher on him. To alleviate some of that pressure, the Knicks should mix it up a bit more, with Anthony facilitating pick-and-rolls or running off additional screen sets. That would free him up more for jump shots.
Playing alongside Kenyon Martin, a timely and hard-nosed screener, should continue to work well for Melo. Martin has already helped Melo with his offense, and the power forward's offensive board work has been huge.
3. How about a dominant first quarter? As I mentioned, the Bobcats have been struggling lately, except for the overall play of New York City native Kemba Walker (26.3 points in his past three games). The Knicks' starters should look to take advantage early and then hope to get some rest later in the game. Anthony played 40 minutes Wednesday night, and coach Mike Woodson would like him down to 33-35.
