Wizardry Online
Wizardry Online is a homage to the classic series, incorporating the dungeon crawling and difficulty into an MMO. Death is a very real aspect of the game, and very much permanent. Choose from five different races — human, elf, porkul, gnome, and dwarf — and four different classes: fighter, thief, mage, cleric. Join up with some friends, and delve into one of the large dungeons offered. 20 main quests are available, each with three different sidequests as well. Over 100 missions are also available in the dungeons. Be careful, though. Players and monsters alike will try to cut your run short whenever they can.

Fairytale? 'Hansel & Gretel' rating goes from PG-13 to R
Paramount Pictures
The tale of Cinderella has been adapted many times, recently starring Brandy Norwood, Hilary Duff and Selena Gomez. Snow White took her turn last year as Hollywood came out with two new renditions: "Mirror, Mirror" and "Snow White and the Huntsman." Now director Tommy Wirkola has tackled a different storybook.
"Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," starring Jeremy Renner, will be released Friday, Jan. 25. But this fairytale is not a bedtime story for kids. In fact, it's gone from a PG-13 rating to R.
Paramount Pictures announced a "ratings change" this week. "Hansel & Gretel" is now rated R for strong fantasy horror violence and gore, brief sexuality/nudity and language. It had previously been listed as PG-13 on several websites.
Writer Adam Chitwood on the Collider website stated that two versions of the film had previously been made to test how much violence to include.
"The discrepancies between the cuts may have been a result of the studio trying to see if audiences prefer a more graphic version of the fairy tale over a tame cut," Chitwood wrote.
Several critics of the witch hunting film believe that blood and guns were not the way to go.
"On the surface, it's a great high concept," said Graeme McMillan from Time magazine. "'What happens to Hansel and Gretel after they grew up?' is a question that poses all kinds of interesting questions that could shed light on the original fairytale and its aftermath. However, the answer 'They grew up and became action hero vigilantes, kicking magical butt and taking names' is perhaps one of the least ambitious directions that the project could have taken."
Roger Moore of McClatchy-Tribune News Service gave the movie one out of four stars.
"An R-rated horror-action-comedy fairy tale — how's that for genre bending?" Moore states. "'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' is more Gatling guns and grenades than The Brothers Grimm."
Stuart Klawans with the Nation described the film as "bodies being pierced, stabbed, shredded, beheaded and splattered like gore-filled water balloons."

Fannie Mae will now go after any assets you have and may also attach your wages, too. If Fannie Mae "forgives" you for any of their loss then you could end up with "ordinary" income.
Fannie Mae may just sell off your debt to a collection agency. Are you planning to file bankruptcy?
I'm surprised you had a Realtor helping you with a short sale and Fannie Mae foreclosed. Was there an investor flip scam going on that now resulted in your getting a foreclosure on your record and also being liable for 100% of Fannie Mae's loss?
You will now be a "renter" for at least 5 years, sorry! It would have only been 2 or 3 years if you were successful at doing a short sale.

This application is related to copending patent application Ser. No. 888,911 (W.E. 51,913), filed concurrently and entitled A VECTOR UFC CONTROL SCHEME. This copending application is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to torque control for an induction motor in general, and more particularly to induction motor torque control system involving field-oriented control methods.
Field-oriented control is a substantial improvement over the V/f constant control method of the prior art which merely controls the voltage V and the frequency f supplied to the motor so as to hold both proportional to the speed of the motor, thereby to maintain the rotating flux constant. The main drawback of using voltage and frequency as the demand is that the dynamic control of the torque is not properly achieved because there is not a workable relationship between the torque as a variable and the voltage and frequency as the inputs.
In contrast thereto, field-oriented control methods do not call for voltage and frequency as control parameters. They are based on a reference frame which rotates at the speed of the rotor flux vector and upon which reference frame are oriented a flux component and a torque component of the stator currents which control the rotor flux and the resulting torque. These are coincident one with the d-axis, over the other with the q-axis. Typical of this approach is the control method shown in IFAC Symposium on Control in Power Electronics and Electrical Drives, Lausanne, Switzerland 1983, Pergamon Press, Oxford 1984: "Control of AC-Modules With The Help of Microelectronics," by W. Leonhard, pp 35-38. However, torque control in this prior art has been performed with current feedback control approach.
The present invention rests upon the idea with a field-oriented control method of no longer using current sensing as a current feedback control approach.
The present invention resides in an induction motor drive control system including a controlled AC voltage power supply for passing AC current through the motor, the supply voltage being controlled as a function of the motor torque demand and of the motor shaft angular position.
More specifically, the supply voltage is controlled in accordance with a derived rotation angle demand θ* and in relation with a direct voltage component vds and a quadrature voltage component vqs, where
vds =1-(ωm +ωs)ωs T1 T2 σ and
vqs =(ωm +ωs)T1 +ωs T2 +T1 T2 σ�dωs /dt
ω=electrical angular velocity of the reference frame
ωm =electrical angular velocity of motor shaft
R1 =stator resistance per phase
R2 =rotor resistance per phase
L1 =three-phase stator self-inductance
L2 =three-phase rotor self-inductance
M=three-phase stator/rotor mutual inductance
ωs =slip frequency=(ω-ωm)
σ=(1-M2 /L1 L2)
n=pole pair number of machine, and where:
θ*=∫(ωm +ωs)dt
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the control system according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating voltage control of a voltage-fed inverter supplied motor drive by pulse-width-modulation (PWM), in accordance with the control signals generated as shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 illustrates with curves the operation of the system of FIG. 1 for three successive different levels of the torque demand.
The prior art is replete today with computer-based control of an induction-motor using information derived from the terminal currents to the motor. See for instance IFAC Symposium on Control in Power Electronics and Electrical Drives, Lausaunne, Switzerland 1983, Pergamon Press, Oxford 1984:
"Current Inverter in the Sliding Mode for Induction Motor Control" by F. Bilalovic, A. Salanovic, pp. 139-144;
"Field-Oriented Control by Forced Rotor Currents in a Votlage-Fed Inverter Drive" by J. Holtz and S. Stadtfeld, pp. 103-110; and
"Control of AC-Machines with the Help of Microelectronics" by W. Leonhard, pp. 35-58.
For the purpose of this disclosure, these articles published by Pergamon Press, Oxford 1984 are hereby incorporated by reference.
The induction motor operating conditions are represented by a set of equations which can be expressed as follows: ##EQU1## where v'ds and v'qs are the stator voltage direct and quadrature components; i'ds and i'qs the stator current direct and quadrature components; ψ'dm and ψ'qm the rotor flux vector direct and quadrature components, where:
ω=electrical angular velocity of reference frame
ωm =electrical angular velocity of motor shaft
v'ds, v'qs =d,q-axis components of stator voltage
i'ds, i'qs =d,q-axis components of stator current
ψ'dm, ψ'qm =d,q-axis components of rotor flux vector
R1 =stator resistance per phase
R2 =rotor resistance per phase
L1 =three-phase stator self-inductance
L2 =three-phase rotor self-inductance
M=three-phase stator/rotor mutual inductance
σ=(1-M2 /L1 L2)
p�=d/dt; and where the symbol * indicates "reference value".
Besides matrix (1), there is the expression of the torque T:
Torque=Mn/L2 [ψdm �i'qs -ψqm i'ds ]
n=pole pair number of machine
The voltage (v'ds, v'qs), current (i'ds, i'qs) and flux (ψ'dm, ψ'qm) components in equation (1) are defined in a reference frame which rotates at the speed ω relative to the stator of the machine and at speed ωs =(ω-ωm) relative to the rotor of the machine.
The basic principle of field-oriented control resides in choosing the speed ω so that the d-axis of the reference frame, by definition, always coincides with ψ which, therefore, becomes ψdm, i.e. the resultant rotor flux vector.
As a result of this constraint, the value of ψqm, the quadrature component, is always equal to zero.
The matrix of equations (1) becomes accordingly ##EQU2##
From the last row in matrix (2), the following equation is derived ##EQU3##
From the third row in matrix (2) the following equation obtains: ##EQU4##
Equation (4) indicates that the rotor flux ψdm is governed entirely by the variable ids, namely the d-axis component of the stator current. For a constant rotor flux p�ψdm is zero. Therefore, ψ*=ψdm =Mids, from which it follows that ids, the direct current component in the reference frame, is a constant.
From equation (4), since ψqm =0 in the torque expression
T=(Mx n)/L2 [ψdm �iqs -ψqm �ids ]
T becomes: T=(M�n)/L2 �ψdm �iqs (5)
It appears from equation (5) that the torque is directly proportional to the value of iqs, the quadrature component of the stator current in the reference frame. The proportionality constant depends upon the level of rotor flux established under the effect of ids.
Still under the field-oriented control principle, the following practical propositions apply:
a. measurement is used to determine the rotor flux vector, and such determination is used continuously in order to define the reference frame angle ω;
b. within such reference frame, the d- and q-axis components of the current (ids, iqs) in the stator are measured and controlled in relation to the flux and torque requirements, one according to equation (4) the other according to equation (5).
A further step, according to some control schemes, consists in taking advantage of the fact that, with equations (3), (4) and (5), there is enough information to control the motor without actually measuring the rotor flux.
To this effect a torque demand T* and flux demand ψ* are specified. Then, from equation (5) iqs * is derived, namely
iqs *=L2 /Mn �T*/ψ*, (6)
and from equation (4) ids * is known:
ids *=1/M(1+p�T2)ψ*. (7)
Finally, equation (3) gives:
ω*=ωm +M/T2 iqs */ψ* (8)
Equations (6), (7) and (8) fully determine the instantaneous values of the stator currents required to be supplied to the motor in order to control the torque and the flux, so as to assure the desired values T* and ψ*. The preceding is prior art, a method of control widely used and well understood. A practical implementation consists in developing closed loop control using an inverter as the power amplifier which will immediately inject, under the control signals, correct current values into the stator windings.
An important requirement for rotating electrical drives is the ability to control the torque produced by the electrical machine. Provided this can be done with a satisfactory dynamic response, speed and position control systems can be designed, usually, without difficulty. The induction motor, however, is more difficult to control because of the complex relationship existing between the torque and the terminal electrical quantities. There has been a number of schemes disclosed in the prior art which allow to determine the required stator currents which, when impressed on the machine, will generate an effective torque proportional to the control signal. As hereabove stated, these schemes will use negative feedback current control loops which are closed around voltage controlled power sources. It may not be desirable, or even practical, to perform closed loop current control.
In contrast to the prior art control schemes, the present invention proposes a system wherein the voltage supplied to the induction motor can be determined directly, i.e. without having to measure the terminal currents to the motor, while still preserving the proportionality, dynamically, between the control signal and the generated torque.
The present invention is based on the observation that aforestated equations (3), (4) and (5) not only fully define how much stator current is necessary to obtain the correct torque and the correct flux, but also, in the light of the matrix equations (1) and (2), they define the terminal voltages which should be applied to the machine in order to generate the very same stator current.
At first sight, the expressions of voltage to be derived from matrix (1), or (2), will be quite complex. However, it is observed according to the present invention, that the formulae becomes much more simple when choosing specifically a constant rotor flux condition. With this condition ψdm and ids become constants which can be given the values
ψdm =ψ* (9)
ids =ψ*/M. (10)
Accordingly, equation (3) and equation (5) may be compared so as to derive ω and iqs as follows:
ω=ωm +M/T2 iqs /ψ*
iqs =L2 /Mn �T*/ψ*.
These values can be substituted in the first two rows of matrix (2), to derive the following voltage component values: ##EQU5##
It appears that, when implementing voltage control with direct and quadrature components as defined by equations (11) and (12), the slip frequency is defined therein as proportional to the torque demand Therefore, the torque will follow the reference T* exactly as in the case of the prior art field-oriented methods, however, without in this case any need for separate means of current control.
Thus, equations (11) and (12) define the terminal voltage of the induction motor. If the motor is supplied with a voltage-controlled power supply, the voltage control signals according to the equations will be proportional to torque and, therefore, allow the machine a torque matching the torque demand ψ*. Equation (12) contains a derivative term dωs/dt which is directly related to the torque demand T*. Therefore, a limit will be applied to the rate of change of the torque demand in order to avoid reaching an excessive voltage demand. In principle, such limit would be made variable and depending upon the margin of voltage control available at any operating point, for a given prevailing flux level. In practice, this limit is given a constant value which is suitable for the entire operating range. Moreover, such limit is valid both for the positive and negative excursions of the torque demand. it is observed, that such limited rate torque demand is a requirement for a current controlled system, as well.
Referring to FIG. 1, an implementation of a control system according to the invention is illustratively shown. The feedback signal θm representing the motor shaft position is derived on line 1. This can be done directly, or indirectly, in order to determine shaft speed. A derivative circuit DVC receives, on line 2 after junction J2, the signal of line 1 to provide, on line 3, the actual frequency signal ωm of the shaft. The torque demand signal T*, on line 4, is passed through a rate limiter 5 which is applicable to positive and negative excursions. The outputted signal, on line 6, is passed through a scaling circuit 7 defined by a constant R2 /n ψ*2 as defined by equation (13), thereby to provide on line 8 at junction J1 a command signal representing the slip frequency ωs. By integration in integrator circuit INT, the signal of line 9 from junction J becomes on line 10 the angular displacement θs due to the slip frequency ωs. Summer S1 adds θm of line 1 and θs of line 10 to provide on line 11 the angular displacement θ of the rotating shaft required to match the torque demand T*. θ represents the instantaneous angular position of the reference frame in the induction motor, i.e. the electric angle on the voltage input of the induction motor.
Using ωs of line 8 and ωm of line 3, a digital function generator DFG calculates in accordance with equations (11) and (12) the torque demand related direct and quadrature voltage components v'ds, v'qs in the reference frame rotating according to angle θ of line 11. These two components are scaled in accordance with the rotor flux amplitude demand ψ*R/M applied on line 12, which is a constant as stated hereabove. Thus, v'ds outputted on line 13 from circuit DFG is scaled by multiplier M1, and v'qs outputted on line 14 is scaled by multiplier M2. The respective scaled components vds and vqs appear on lines 16 and 15.
Transformation from a rotating reference wave at angle θ as on line 11, to coordinate axes fixed relative to the winding of the machine is effected by a rotating axis transformation circuit RAT in accordance with the following relationships: ##EQU6## The third voltage vb is derived from the two other voltages va, vc since they belong to a symmetrical three-phase system as follows:
vb =-va -vc.
This is also performed within circuit RAT.
The three voltage control signals va, vb, vc so derived appear on lines 17, 18, 19.
Control of an induction motor with the control signals of lines 17, 18, 19 is illustrated in FIG. 2 implemented as a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control of the inverter INV coupled between a voltage DC link having terminals TP and TN and three AC phases U,V,W feeding the motor MT in an AC motor drive. The inverter has three poles A, B, C including thyristors (TH1, TH4) (TH3, TH6) and (TH5, TH2) associated by pairs for the respective poles between the opposite polarity terminals TA, TB. Considering pole A, control voltage va is applied as reference wave to a comparator CMP which is responsive from line 17' to a triangular wave signal derived from a triangular wave generator TWG. The pulse-width modulated signal appears on line 22 as derived from the output line 20 of analog comparator CMP then passing through a digital comparator 21. The gating circuit GC for thyristor (TH1 or TH4) of pole A is controlled by the pulse-width modulated signal of line 22. As a result, by lines AP or AN the opposite thyristors (TH1 or TH4) are controlled for conduction in accordance with the sine wave reference va of line 17, which results in the generation for phase U of a voltage waveform which is defined by the reference wave va. This is a generally known method. The same can be said for the 120� phase shifted signal vb and the voltage supply of phase V, as well as for the third phase W under control signal vc which is also at 120� phase shift there behind.
FIG. 3 illustrates with curves the operation of the circuit of FIG. 1. The first curve, there shown, is T*, assuming successively at, a limit rate (AB, CD), a higher level Ti+1 above Ti initially, then, a lower level Ti+2 below Ti and Ti+1. The last curve is the sensed motor shaft position signal θm recurring at a constant rate as a function of time between 0 and 2π radians. The slip frequency signal of line 9 after integration provides the signal θs of line 10 which varies slowly with time. (θm +θs)=θ appears, as on line 11, with a higher frequency signal between instant ti+1 and ti+2, and then with a frequency which is lower than before instant ti+1 after instant ti+2.
The resulting voltages va, vb, vc appear as outputted by circuit RAT on lines 17, 18, 19. It is observed that, while varying in frequency as just stated, these signals vary both in amplitude and in phase, as shown for us at times after AB, and after CD.
The control method and system according to the present invention, it is observed, uses only shaft position feedback, while still providing a dynamic torque response proportional to the reference signal T* of line 4. It is an open loop approach based on prior knowledge of the motor parameters which, as in any "observer" method, is as good as the used characteristics and constants. It is an open loop in the spirit of the vector control methods of the prior art. The control system is here capable of defining the instantaneous voltages which should be supplied to a three-phase induction motor in order to satisfy a torque demand under both static and dynamic conditions.

Daily InspirationDo you sometimes wonder when you will 'get there?' When you think this, tune into how this makes you feel. Likely you feel sad and discouraged. This is because your inner guidance is letting you know that this is an erroneous concept. Think instead about being present in this moment with love and compassion for yourself and others - and then, for this moment, you are 'there!' By Dr. Margaret Paul
The Powerful Secret to A Loving RelationshipBy Dr. Margaret Paul
December 31, 2006
A couple can have similar values, interests, and be very attracted to each other, yet still not have a loving relationship if this secret ingredient is missing. Without this essential ingredient, all the other wonderful attributes will not be enough to make the relationship work.
There are many factors that go into creating a loving relationship. Certainly it helps if two people have some things in common regarding how they like to spend their time. It also helps if they have common values around religion or spirituality, around politics, the environment, abortion and personal growth. It helps if they both eat junk food or both eat organic food. It makes things easier if both are neat or both are messy, if both are on time people or both are late people. Physical attraction is also quite important. It's great if they have common values around money and spending.
Yet a couple can have all of these and still not have a loving relationship if one element is missing. Without this essential ingredient, all the other wonderful attributes will not be enough to make the relationship work.
This essential ingredient is about INTENTION.
The Power of Intention
At any given moment, each of us is devoted to only one of two different intentions: TO CONTROL OR TO LEARN. When our intention is to control, our deepest motivation is to have control over getting love, avoiding pain and feeling safe. When our intention is to learn, our deepest motivation is to learn about being loving to ourselves and others.
The motivation to get love rather than be loving can create havoc within a relationship.
Let's look at a typical relationship issue and see what happens regarding the two different intentions. Jason and Samantha are feeling emotionally distant from each other, and they haven't made love in a month. The problem started when Samantha stated that she wanted to take an expensive vacation and Jason objected. Samantha got angry, Jason gave in and they have been distant ever since.
Samantha's intention was to have control over getting what she wanted. She equates an expensive vacation with love—if Jason does this for her, then he proves his love for her. She used her anger as a way to have control over getting what she wants. She wants control over feeling special to Jason.
Jason's intention was to avoid pain. He gave himself up to have control over Samantha not being angry with him. He hopes that by giving Samantha what she wants, she will see him as a good and loving husband.
However, because both Jason and Samantha were trying to control each other rather than be loving to themselves and each other, their interaction created emotional distance.
What would this have looked like if their intention had been to learn?
The Intention to Learn
If Samantha's intent had been to learn, she would not have gotten angry. Instead, she would have wanted to understand Jason's objections. If Jason's intention had been to learn, he would not have given himself up. Instead he would have wanted to understand why this particular vacation was so important to Samantha. Both Samantha and Jason would have been caring about themselves and each other, rather than wanting to get love or avoid pain. In their mutual exploration about why they each felt the way they did, they would have learned what they needed to learn about themselves and each other to reach a win-win resolution. Instead of Samantha ostensibly winning and Jason losing, they would have come up with something both of them could live with. With some exploration of his financial fears, Jason might have decided that the vacation Samantha wanted would be fine. With understanding of Jason's financial concerns, and of her own need to feel special, Samantha might have decided on a less expensive vacation. In either case, both of them would have felt fine about the outcome.
No matter how much Jason and Samantha have in common or are attracted to each other, their love will diminish when their intent is to control rather than learn. It's amazing how quickly love vanishes when one or both partners have the intent to control. It's equally amazing how fast it comes back when both partners have the intent to learn. Through a consistent Inner Bonding practice, each person can gradually learn to stay open to learning more and more often, even in the face of conflict.

BAGHDAD, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Iraqi health industry has witnessed a great revival and steady growth which has enabled the country to improve in many sectors as testified by a WHO report about efficiency in healthcare services delivery. The Ministry of Health has made a great effort to develop healthcare services where long-term plans have been set to provide health needs to Iraqi citizens. Additionally, many new mega projects have been announced to meet the growing demand of healthcare services and provide a strong infrastructure that serves as a foundation for the growing health sector in Iraq," said HE Dr Majeed Hamad Amin, the Minister of Health of Iraq.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140122/PH50201 )
Ministry of Health Iraq is co-organising the 2nd Iraq Health Summit on March 10th and 11th 2014 in Iraq, in partnership with French business facilitation group naseba. The summit is gathering Ministry of Health officials and top Iraqi sector leaders with international medical providers and renowned experts.
In a letter addressing the public, HE the Minister of Health marked international co-operation as a key to the progress of healthcare in Iraq: "Ministry of Health would like to invite the private sector to contribute to the process of developing and improving the health sector. The private sector plays an integral role in the process, and it would be mutually beneficial for both parties as Iraq has great investment opportunities. We are looking to open doors to professionals and build bridges of co-operation between international and local stakeholders to support government initiatives and plans to improve healthcare services in Iraq."
During the two days, attendees will discuss future projects and strategies for sector growth and development. Medical solution providers will have a chance to directly discuss mutual partnerships with Ministry officials and hospital executives during commercially focused business meetings.
"As co-organiser of the 2nd Iraq Health Summit, our objective is to highlight the future of the healthcare sector in Iraq, and create a platform to exchange knowledge and expertise in all areas of healthcare. We will discuss challenges facing the health sector and how to achieve excellence in healthcare services. This initiative is in line with our vision to serve the development of the healthcare sector with sustainable development of both society and nations. Finally, our participation in this summit comes under the concern about creating real progress to be able to compete with developed countries in healthcare. The development and improvement we are witnessing today in Iraq make us very proud. Self-sufficiency will help us attain what other countries have achieved in the health sector," concluded Dr Majeed Hamad Amin.

This review is from: ChiChinLighting® 4W 12V MR16 Super Bright LED Light Bulbs, Warm White, 3000k (Higher Quality than other Energy Saving MR16 Lamps - 2 Year Guarantee) Perfect Size Retrofit
Worked fine but just after 2 years, 1 unit has started flashing on and off (2 year guarantee so not covered).
The whole economics of these is that they need to last a long time. This unit must have only lasted 4,000 hours at the most but quoted at 40,000+. On my actual numbers it would be much cheaper to use the old inefficient units

UGH-Dallas also reported significant growth in ADC, which increased from 18.6 in the first half of 2013 to 21.6 in the first half of 2014, an improvement of 16%. Adjusted patient days in Dallas increased 47%, from 6,473 to 9,537, and surgical volumes rose from 865 to 1,833, for an increase of 112%.
"We are very pleased with the organic growth in Houston, despite the maturity of our hospital in that market," stated Hassan Chahadeh, MD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of University General Health System, Inc. "UGH-Houston benefited from the recent execution of agreements with Humana and United, and we expect such benefits to continue for the balance of the year. In addition, we are pleased with the continued development of our outpatient network and inpatient growth at our Dallas hospital. However, we remain diligent in pursuing further cost reductions and operating efficiencies at UGH-Dallas."
"The Company previously announced the implementation of cost containment measures that resulted in a reduction of $1,000,000 in monthly expenses at the flagship Houston hospital during the first half of 2014. The Company continues to pursue multiple paths for cost reductions throughout the system as part of an overall plan to improve its performance in 2014 when compared with 2013. Primarily reflecting higher systemwide volumes, we expect 2014 EBITDA to show improvement in Houston, while we have taken steps to suspend certain unprofitable activities and eliminate non-core assets throughout our health care network," continued Chahadeh.
"We are working diligently to complete our quarterly reports (both the first and second quarters) in a timely manner, while focusing on cash management as well as cost containment," stated Kris Trent, the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Kayin New Year promotes unity and tradition
Myanmar Catholic priest tells people to follow their culture
ucanews.com reporter, Yangon
January 6, 2011
Kayin tribes must follow in the footsteps of their ancestors who were simple, righteous and faithful, a Catholic priest in Myanmar said during a New Year celebration that marked the 2,750th year in the Karen calendar. More than 1,000 people yesterday joined the Kayin New Year festivity, where Father Thomas Saw Htoo Htoo, parish priest of Saints Peter and Paul Church in Yangon concelebrated Mass with 12 Kayin priests. Joseph U Kyaing, the organizer, said every Kayin New Year, local people gather regardless of religion to sing, talk and eat together. The ethnic Kayins perform traditional dances and eat the customary sticky rice and curry. "I do really believe that we will have more unity and able to work closely for the benefit of our people," he said. An exhibition to inform people about the values of their culture and literature was also arranged, said U Kyaing. "Future generations must realize that it is their responsibility and need to work for sustaining their culture and literature," said Mahn Shwe Pyi Aye, a professor. Meanwhile, on the same day, another Kayin New Year celebration was held at the Mawlamyine Holy Family Cathedral in Mon State, where 500 Kayin tribes of different religions joined. "It is our responsibility to be united, to love one another, to observe and keep our culture and literature," said Doctor Saw Htoo War, president of the Mawlamyine Kayin New Year celebration committee. The Kayin or Karen tribes have been celebrating their New Year since 1938. Believed to have migrated from the Tibetan plateau centuries ago, they are now mainly farmers concentrated in the hills of eastern Myanmar's Kayin state and the Irrawaddy delta region in southwestern part of the country. Some have also migrated to live and work in Yangon and other cities.

Holly Madison Gets Her Own Reality Series
From sharing the screen with two other Playboy bunnies, Holly Madison gets her big break by securing a deal to have her solo show. E! Entertainment Television announced that it has ordered eight half-hour episodes of a docusoap that follows the former "Girls Next Door" star.
Madison is currently working and playing in Las Vegas, and the show which will be called "Holly's World" will capture her both on-stage and off-. "Audiences fell in love with Holly on E! and fans are eager to follow her next chapter," Lisa Berger, Executive VP Entertainment Programming, said. "The series will feature Holly and her family of friends as they take on new loves, careers and ambitions together."
The network plans to release it in summer this year. "Holly's World" will thus be the second spin-off to "Girls Next Door" following Kendra Wilkinson's "Kendra". Bridget Marquardt remains the only "Girls" cast who hasn't got her own show.

Let's face it: after the bevy of exciting new CPUs they already launched this year, the folks at Intel probably deserve a little summer break. Nevertheless, quoting sources at motherboard makers, DigiTimes reports that Intel has a handful of less eventful launches and price cuts lined up for the summer.
This summer adventure will begin in mid-July with the arrival of three new CPUs: the six-core Core i7-970 (asking price: $885), the 2.8GHz Core i5-760 (which will cost $205), and the Core i5-870S, a low-power quad-core offering priced at $351. For what it's worth, Intel will reportedly take the Core i3-540 from $133 to $117, too.
In August, DigiTimes says we can look forward to a new Core i3 processor, the $138 i3-560, as well as a price cut that will bring the Core i7-950 from $562 to $294.
The site also talks about smaller cuts and new, Core 2-derived chips with sub-$100 price tags, but we're having a hard time getting excited about those models. When the Core i3-530 can be had for $115, and AMD continues to sell quad-core CPUs for $99.99, previous-gen dual-core offerings lose much of their appeal.
This discussion is now closed.
