Consolidated Results
The consolidated revenues for the year were Rs. 7.75 bn for the year under review, an increase of 65.65% as compared to the previous year.
* Broking revenues increased by 69.18% to Rs. 4.86 bn, as market activity picked up, especially in the high-yield cash segment. Average daily volumes in the equity markets reached Rs. 3.34 tn in FY2015, up 65.16% from last year. Cash market volumes grew 60.81 % to Rs. 21 3.35 bn, which is only ~6% lower than its all-time high of FY2010. Within this, cash delivery was up 62.87% YoY to Rs. 65.09 bn, and it reached its all-time high since the last 8 years. Amongst cash market participants, the uptick was led by a 72.81% YoY growth in retail and a 50.04% YoY growth in institution. However, retail cash volumes still remain ~1 7% lower than its previous peak of FY201 0, while institution cash volumes were ~35% higher this year than its past peak of FY2008. Our overall equity market share decreased marginally from 1.56% to 1.51% on a YoY basis due to the continued disproportionate rise of options within the market mix. Nevertheless, we succeeded in capturing a larger chunk of the incremental volumes that flowed into the markets this year, which helped increase our market share in the high-yield cash segment. As of 31st March, 2015, total client base has increased to 844,289, which includes 740,227 retail and distribution clients. Our Pan-India distribution reach stood at 1 ,743 business locations across 520 cities.
* Asset management fees also saw significant traction, increasing 67.60% to Rs. 1.27 bn as compared to last year.Total assets under management / advice across mutual funds, PMS and private equity businesses was Rs. 82.56 bn.Within this, the mutual fund AUM was Rs. 24.15 bn, private equity AUA was Rs. 21.58 bn and PMS AUM was Rs. 36.83 bn. The company saw increased mobilization into its open-end equity mutual fund products as well as its PMS products. In the private equity business, the 2nd real estate fund - India Realty Excellence Fund II raised commitments of Rs. 4.54 bn as of 31st March, 2015.
* Investment banking fee at Rs. 1 93.23 mn saw a 1 86.1 7% growth over the previous year, as the speed of transaction closures gathered speed this year. The buoyancy in the capital markets in FY2015 resulted in a number of listed companies considering equity capital raising. Our team is working with various corporates and banks to assist in capital raising and structuring to support the outlook.
* Fund based income increased by 45.60% to Rs. 1.36 bn as the housing finance business gained traction this year. In line with the long term strategy to grow Return on Equity (RoE) sustainably, MOFSL has made strategic allocation of capital to long term RoE enhancing opportunities like Aspire Home Finance and sponsor commitments to existing mutual fund and private equity funds of MOFSL group. Aspire Housing Finance received its Certificate of Registration from NHB to commence the business during the year. Fund based income in FY201 5 also included profit earned on partial exits in few investments of the Private Equity Fund in which MOFSL made sponsor commitments.
* Other income increased by 45.69% to Rs. 70.97 mn as compared to last year.
Total expenses (before interest and depreciation) for the year at Rs. 5.16 bn registered a 58.29% jump over last year. People cost increased by 49.10% to Rs. 1.90 bn. This was largely owing to an increase in hiring in the retail broking & distribution, housing finance and institution broking businesses. Brokerage shared with intermediaries increased by 85.05% to Rs. 1 .95 bn in line with the growth in retail brokerage commissions. Other costs were Rs. 1.31 bn, an increase of 40.59% over last year. This was largely due to higher brand and marketing expenses, as well as legal and travelling expenses. The profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and taxation (EBITDA) increased by 82.52% to Rs. 2.60 bn. Higher revenues during the year resulted in margin improvement during the year, and the EBITDA margin increased from 30.37% to 33.47%.
In line with the ROE strategy, the NBFC lending business of loan against shares would now being run as a spread business with a healthy mix of short term and long term borrowings, rather than from equity capital as was the case earlier. MOFSL has raised long-term NCDs of Rs. 1.50 bn at annualized cost of 10.05% (payable annually). The total borrowings in MOFSL (ex Aspire) stood at Rs. 6.1 3 bn as of 31 st March, 201 5.Rs. This has resulted in incremental interest cost (ex Aspire) of approx. Rs. 222.88 mn as compared to the previous year.
Reported net profit for the year after minority interest stood at Rs. 1.44 bn, an increase of 263.54%. In the previous year FY2014, the company has written off/provided for amounts of Rs. 555.86 mn (pre-tax) in respect of its exposure to NSEL, which had not been able to adhere to its payment obligations. This was disclosed under "Exceptional Items" in the previous year.
MOFSL group''s commitments to our own mutual fund products stood at Rs. 5.51 bn, as of 31 st March, 2015. The unrealized gain on these investments is Rs. 1.62 bn as of 31 st March, 201 5. The same is not reflected in the profit and loss account for the year. MOFSL group''s commitments to our alternative investment products stood at Rs. 1.30 bn, as of 31 st March, 201 5.
Future Outlook
India was one of the best performing markets in the year FY201 5, as investor sentiments improved and activity levels increased following the Election results. The year marked the return of the retail investors, both through direct equities and through equity mutual funds. Cash market volumes, including delivery, increased significantly this year. However, primary market activity is yet to pick up in a big way. As the reforms gain speed, the corporate capex cycle should also gather momentum. The resultant uptick in primary market activity should provide an entry point for more new investors, helping deepen participation further. Some challenges persist. Corporate earnings are yet to see a sustained uptick. Foreign investors'' have been quite concerned over MAT. An irregular monsoon can impact food inflation yet again. Our businesses showed significant traction across asset mobilization, market share and revenue. We had invested into operations, manpower, technology and distribution channels. These initiatives are now showing results, and helped us capture an increasing proportion of the incremental business flows. As activity levels in the market increases further, we are well poised to benefit from the opportunities.
Credit Rating
During the year, Crisil Limited reaffirmed the Credit Rating of "CRISIL A1 "to the Commercial Programme of Rs. 4.00 bn of the Company. ICRA Limited assigned the credit rating of [ICRA] AA" Rating with a stable outlook to the NCD Programme of Rs. 1.50 bn of the company. Crisil Limited also reaffirmed the Credit Rating of "CRISIL A1 "to the Commercial Programme of Rs. 3.00 bn of Motilal Oswal Securities Limited, a subsidiary of the Company. The ratings indicate a very strong degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations.

"Or that the urge to make politically persuasive art is, at its root, the urge to propagandize?"
i think propaganda only has negative connotations in certain contexts (most of the u.s. for example). etymologically it is quite tame.
A gajillion years ago, back in the seventies right after Nixon "opened China", there was a documentary on TV that featured Shirley MacLaine wandering around with her Maoist minder and admiring all the wonderful works of man there. At one point, they were in an "art studio" where the "artists" were all hard at work turning out thousands of identical cat statuettes. Shirley thought it was pretty marvelous to see so many people creating art, and it's pretty hard to argue with that.

Northern Exposure is an American television series that ran on CBS from 1990 to 1995, with a total of 110 episodes. The premise is a New York City physician, Dr. Joel Fleischman, is sent to practice in the town of Cicely, Alaska. Early episodes dealt with Fleischman's culture shock in the small town. While the show was nominally premised on the fish-out-of-water conflict between Fleischman's big city ways and the small-town mores of the Cicely residents, its focus shifted to dive more deeply into the quirky personalities of the eccentric townfolk.

Army Reserve Employer Relations: "Optimizing A Shared Workforce"
What is it?
The Army Reserve shares the workforce with the civilian business community. Forging partnerships with civilian employers is fundamentally important to the success of the AR's mission of training Soldiers and growing leaders. Employers are inextricable linked to the readiness of the Army Reserve. Without the support of the nearly 44,000 civilian employers it would be difficult, if not impossible, to sustain a creditable force of Warrior Citizens. In an effort to build positive and enduring partnerships with civilian employers, the ARER Program was established in June 2005 as a link between the Command, the Soldier, and his or her employer at the strategic level.
What has the Army Reserve done?
The Army Reserve established the Employer Relations Program in command policy in August 2005 and embedded it in the Strategic Communication Division of the Army Reserve G-1 (Personnel). Specific Army Reserve Employer Relations vision and mission statements were developed in concert with the Department of Defense and Department of the Army's mission objectives and posture statement. Army Reserve's mission statement and established goals and objectives help ensure that all Department of Defense directives and instructions have been satisfied.
What efforts does the Army Reserve plan to continue in the future?
In FY 2007, the ARER Program focused its efforts on enhancing employer support through a systemic blending of four major objectives: mitigation, mediation, employer outreach and awareness, and Soldier-employer relations. In FY 2008, the ARER Program is implementing three major initiatives to further build on the successes to date. Beginning early in 2008, Program Support Mangers (PSM) are being assigned to 27 Major Subordinate Commands throughout the AR. These full-time, contracted PSMs will provide commanders with the expertise and support required to carry out the employer relations initiatives established by the leadership of the Army Reserve. The Army Reserve proposes to increase the PSMs to 99 in the out years. A "Partnering With Industry" strategic plan is currently being developed in conjunction with the Employer Outreach and Benefit General Officer Steering Committee (EOB GOSC), which will serve as the "blue print" for building enduring partnerships with industry and will help focus the Army Reserve's efforts on "Optimizing a Shared Workforce" with and between the Army Reserve and Employers. This will provide the Army Reserve additional tools to improve retention thereby its readiness.
Why is this important to the Army Reserve?
As part of its mission the Army Reserve "grows leaders." Soldiers gain valuable experience while serving their country in uniform and when Warrior-Citizens return to their respective work environments, employers get better employees; who have renewed energy and broader perspectives, a desire for more responsibility, and creative problem solvers. Everyone benefits from the partnership between the AR and its civilian employers. Future AR recruiting and retention initiatives depend on the involvement and inclusion of the employers of America.

A steady flow of Wakatipu residents of all shapes, sizes,
ages and backgrounds attended the open call for extras for
The Hobbit at the Queenstown Events Centre yesterday.
Hundreds answered advertisements placed by talent agencies
for "character faces" for an undisclosed shoot in late
October, late November or early December.
The timing corresponded with resource consent applications
lodged this month by The Hobbit production company
Three Foot Seven Ltd to film at at least three Wakatipu
For reasons not given, the audition was closed to media and
hopeful extras signed a confidentiality agreement when they
registered their interest.
Asked to comment, on condition of anonymity, outside the
centre, a Queenstown man said he attended the audition
because of his "lifelong love of all things Tolkien".
The atmosphere in the mezzanine function room was "buzzing",
he said.
"I'm ugly enough to be an orc, but I have no expectations.
But I do hope, against all odds, I land an extra's role."

What exactly are the Jews? The question baffles the layperson and the scholar alike. If we define them as adherents to a religion, then how can there be Jews who are secular (as most in America are)? And why all the signs of ethnicity—the resistance to intermarriage, the characteristic foods and modes of humor, and the focus on the State of Israel, for example? But if we define the Jews as an ethnic group or race, then why all the religious practices and institutions? And what are we to make of the possibility that a gentile can become Jewish, whereas a white person, for example, cannot become black? If, building upon the importance of the State of Israel, we define the Jews essentially as a nation-state, how shall we account for the fact that most of them do not live there and about 20 percent of Israel's citizens, in turn, are not Jewish? When it comes to the Jewish people, our convenient categories fail us.
In How Judaism Became a Religion: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought [1] (Princeton University Press, $27.95, 224 pp.), Leora Batnitzky, one of the foremost scholars of modern Jewish thought, shows that the problem is one that Jewish thinkers themselves have pondered for about two and a half centuries. It is, she demonstrates, characteristic of modernity itself. Earlier, "Judaism and Jewishness were all these at once: religion,...

Someone generously provided a raw for Gaim 14, so an 1080 version is coming out after all.
A few seconds of the opening was lost, but it's just the recap footage. Sorry!
Hopefully the wonderful E-X-A music video and Yuta (Baron) Cafe 1-2 will salve the situation. Enjoy the bonuses!
Thread / Wiki
Out at last!
Image from this site
Sorry this took forever. The only raws we found were 1280x720, so that's what we went with. No 1080 version this week. (We can revisit it from the Blu-ray later)
I finally got around to making a cheat-cheat for Matsubokkuri Arms and Donguri Arms. These were kind of hard, since I didn't have any obvious tricks for memorizing them. Still, maybe you'd find it interesting if you have trouble remembering these two words.
Japanese fruit names thread
Sorry for the delay, between the hardware failure, staff members getting sick and moving, it's been a hectic mess. But we're turning things around and this week's episodes are in the process of getting done. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
E-mail if you're interested. Contact info is in the Contact Us tab above.
Someone volunteered to time shift the scripts and mark the parts where there's new lines, so this is a thing that's happening.
Per someone's suggestion, I've created some more pages for listing guest actors for Kamen Rider and Sentai:
The latter is just a more generic version of the Sentai-only article above.
Remember you don't need to sign in to edit the wiki. Try to police yourselves and solve disputes using the Discussion tab at the top.
Edit: If you do sign up, the only benefit is that you gain the ability to upload pictures to the wiki.
Thanks and have fun!
Probable image source
Apparently we released it yesterday, but I only found out about it today. Let me know if there's a release without a matching front page post, since sometimes the left hand doesn't talk with the right.
They're still being updated, so check it out to see what's new. As usual, if you see any mistakes or feel like there's something that needs to be corrected, you can hit the edit button if you're sure, or bring it up in the Discussion link at the top.
Also, the parents thing was too narrow, so the wiki page is now about Sentai actors in general appearing in Sentai again:
Buy your clothes!
From this, Google thinks I'm

From the article:http://www.thestar.com/business/2012/01/26/heres_how_to_find_out_what_go...
We had some hardware problems this morning and weren't able to cap Gaim and Kyou as usual.
Still working on wrapping up last week's Kyou which was delayed. Just waiting on the ending song karaoke for the movie.
The Wizard Net movies are moving into final qc and we've got the movie Blu-ray. So we'll have plenty of stuff to work on this week regardless.
Hey guys, I'm glad to see people are having fun making the Sentai trivia page. Looks like we've got a lot of entries.
I've noticed that people have been going back and forth on some items. Just remember to use the Discussion Page (upper left hand corner) or the forum thread to settle disputes. Also, just a little reminder that names are usually written family name first, then given name. Usually we put [[ ]] around them because that creates a link to that person's page on the wiki.
I've generalized the Parents page to Relatives per a suggestion on the forum. Like DekaYellow plays the sister for KyouryuuBlue. You can copy and paste the parents table to create a new section.
Also made a records page for Kamen Rider if people are interested in that too.
Thanks, everyone! This has been fun and educational.
My heart will go on~
Looks like he's 36. What a young guy he is compared to the others!
I didn't know Eitoku had returned from his injury. Hurray!
Okay, now that the wiki is back up
Here's a couple pages that we were working on:
This is just a page for Sentai trivia. Like major firsts. Longest so and so's. Etc. etc.
This is a chart of Sentai members who had parents who were also Sentai actors. I dunno, just thought this would be an interesting category since I could think of a few interesting examples.
Feel free to add entries directly to the wiki, or note it here in the thread. If there's some contention on the facts, we can argue about it in the thread.
I'm a little behind on answering e-mails to people who've expressed interest in qcing for us. Between dropbox and the wiki going down and a few other things, a few projects are a little more behind than I'd like. The Hurri and Kyou movies I'm waiting for the next phase before sending those out, so if you haven't received a response yet, that may be why.

SUNY Student Dies After Tubing Down Upstate Waterfall
21-year-old Brooklyn native Elliott Mullings disappeared on Sunday.
The body of 21-year-old Brooklyn native Elliott Mullings was recovered on Monday morning, about 20 hours after he disappeared below Lampson Falls near Clare, New York. Mullings, a third-year law enforcement student at SUNY Canton, was tubing with friends on Sunday and was "caught up in the swift current and high waters and was swept downstream," according to the St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells. Wells blamed the cold water and strong current, as opposed to alcohol or reckless college kid stuff, for the death.

non existant person who thinks they can snipe out people with a paintball gun that cost alot more than it should have. a paintball gun will never be a sniper due to all the conditions that take effect into the way the ball travels and how accurate it is such as air moisture pressure going into the gun and temperature
dude did that paintball sniper shoot you?
whats a paintball sniper?
i have no idea i heard someone say it on the field so i thought id sound intelligent if i mentioned it.

you are prob right, i had said nobody sold going into the delisting countdown, they not going to sell now, nobody is going to buy/cover till they show a way out of this mess.
the company have zero equity value, been diluted to the hilt already, a buyout at these current metrics would make a lot of very unhappy longs lol...
you are right urin he did lie they lost more then he said. do you feel better now? it was more like a third of a billion lol...
negative equity! what is the buyout price on that?
you figured out share count yet fredd?
you assume correct since they raised 21.6 million! and burned over half of it in one Q, they also owe well over 55 mil!
fredd can't read, it isn't his fault.
ahahaha, they where done only thing missing was the looking forwards statements.
spin? urin what is the share count right now if a buyout happened.
can you figure it out?
fredd you just said you don't work due to your inability to read or comprehend.
i would lay odds that jordan either has a kid with down syndrome, or a parent with Alzheimer? or they are just one of the few nice people in the world.
english is not my first language, however it is yours! such a shame you never could read.
my point is failure seems to be rewarded in america, you are proof of it. ocz is even more proof!
a failure betting on a failure company, who would of thought that go wrong?
you mean the company that has a negative equity?
of course you don't. obama provides for those who can't help themselves.
take a reading course, i am sure it is free like everything else...
where did i say it be bought for $1.50? fredd you are the worlds worst reader.
i am being serious when i say i put you in school fredd, you def need to learn how to read, or you will never get out of your dead-end part time job.
fredd you are still sore you never sold, i know it must of been sad to watch your account go down everyday. to ride it all the way from $5.89 to $1.17 jeez.... i sure hope you averaged down at least when we hit the bottom.
this is why you keep on saying $3+++??? you average is about $3.50 ish now?
still should of sold like i told you to at $2.70 and $2.20 oh well
oh so you would approve a $1.50 buyout?
ahahaha $3+++++
what have you been right about? i said they have till 5:30, hey reported at 5:30.. they are dam close to BK if you don't believe me, believe ocz, i am sure you read the part about how they working with a major deficit, and at any time the loans can be called, forcing BK?
the $0.89 will come, sure looks a lot closer to your $3++ after earnings!!!
stec also had no debt, and a lower share count which helped because nobody could block the vote.
biggest problem is nobody wants a consumer ssd, or a power supply line, or a RAM line.
they need to liquidate, but by selling bit by bit, they will just do a even slower death.
what will never happen is you getting your money back from your buy-in price of $3+++
i am sorry fredd i really am .....
you went long fredd, i traded it. i told you what would happen all the way down. picked out all the peaks and valleys for you but, you never traded it once.
i am sorry fredd.
ahahahaha..... pump fredd pump
i am not dylan, but this company is a disaster. no buyout just slow death.

I have an xml document that I used JAXB to ultimately have struts2 display in a webpage.
This document at a high level contains CDATA sections that are paragraphs that contain some HTML. The java object returned is a list of the paragraph objects whose text gets turned into strings.
When I display them in the JSP I get the paragraphs outputted to the screen and they contain HTML but it is not rendered.
I have found answers on here about removing HTML from java strings but nothing like this. I also don't have control over the XML document I only consume it.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 270949 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 549 AM EDT WED JUL 27 2016 LATEST UPDATE... Update .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 329 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 A slow moving cold front will result in scattered thunderstorms today, mostly north of I-96. It will be very warm with highs from the mid 80s to near 90. A wave on the front will slow its push south tonight and as the wave on the front moves across Lower Michigan Thursday, it will result in more widespread showers and a few thunderstorms. Due to the clouds and showers it will be cooler with highs in the lower 80s. After the frontal wave moves south and east of the area Friday skies will start to clear as Canadian high pressure builds in behind the front. The weekend will be partly cloudy with near normal temperatures thanks to that Canadian high. && .UPDATE... Issued at 549 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 I added early morning thunderstorms to our NW CWA as per the latest radar loops. These storms are on the leading edge of deeper moisture which and be seen on water vapor loops. Moisture transport vectors show a max along the west coast of Michigan near TVC at 03 am that drops nearly due south to MKG by 08 am but weakens as it does so. there is between 500 and 1000 j/kg of elevated cape in this area. So I figure this area of showers will drift south over the next few hours then dissipate as the sun comes up and results in better mixing. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday) Issued at 329 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 We are tracking a slow moving cold front and the associated thunderstorms for today. the front will only reach near I-96 by evening. Any thunderstorms will remain near and north of the front. The front will then stall near I-96 tonight as a surface wave tracks along the front, crossing Lower Michigan Thursday. Areas near and north of I-94 could see a decent amount of rain Thursday if the ECMWF 00z run is correct as it results in over and inch of rain over a large area of our central and northern CWA. Since the models have been back and forth on this idea I have 50 pct pops for tomorrow but this may have to increased if the latest ECMWF is to be believed. That system clears the area Friday bringing clearing skies and near normal temperatures. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 329 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 Zonal flow will transition to more of an upper trough by late this week. But that doesn`t necessarily mean that we`ll see rain. Indeed, a sfc high over eastern Ontario and Quebec will produce a relatively dry northeast flow Friday night through Monday which should keep pcpn pushed south of the cwa. GFS and ECMWF show a few short waves moving across Indiana and Ohio over the weekend, but almost all of the pcpn is shown south of the cwa. We`ll keep a slight chance of pcpn in south of I-94 Friday night and Saturday, but more than likely we`re looking at dry wx through Tuesday. Highs will mostly be above normal due to the lower dewpoints and the ridge to the northeast. Highs in the lower 80s Saturday will climb to the mid to upper 80s Sunday through Tuesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1153 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 There may be some mvfr fog at JXN toward sunrise, otherwise fair wx is expected through the period. && .MARINE... Issued at 329 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 No major issues seen through Saturday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 150 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 No river flooding is expected into next week. There is a chance of rain in the forecast Wednesday into Saturday night. Total rainfall should be under an inch. River levels are around normal for this time of year. Even with the precipitation, no rivers should approach flood level. && .GRR Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...None.

Mobile masters Crossing The Threshold by: Dan Marcolina
Over 50 of the worlds most notable iPhoneographers reveal their techniques, passion and vision in a compelling interactive format by the foremost author on iPhoneography Dan Marcolina. This iPad eBook is a companion to the Mobile Masters Sessions held at Macworld expo. And contains the work and views of most all the speakers and many more leaders in this mobile movement
I believe we are at the beginning of a historical movement in photography "the mobile movement". The convergence of: outstanding tech in a camera that is always with you, along with cheap easy to discover apps and the sharing and learning of techniques within the huge social gallery called instagram/facebook has allowed many more people to intuitively create with images.
Within this exponential growth there are small underground pockets of people that are truly reinventing the artform. This appBook is an attempt to not only reveal what these talented folks are doing with images but also expose their passion and vision for the movement.
In 1891 Peter Emerson an early promoter of photography as an art form was in despair about the limits of photo processing deciding that it would forever remain a minor art because it could not be manipulated at will... We have now crossed this threshold. - Dan Marcolina
-Over 50 varied Artists from around the world are represented
-Many step-by-step "app-stacking" secrets revealed with a swipe of the figure
-Personal video interviews from 30 artist discussing how iPhoneography has changed them and photography.
-Many image tutorial video
-Over an hour of video included
-Indepth text descriptions with direct links to each app mentioned
-Hand selected portfolio of additional work from each artest.
-Direct links to each artist websites, blogs, and even email address

I just found that Cimy Swift SMTP is not working while using it in conjuction with WooCommerce.
General WordPress emails are working, but emails generated from WooCommerce orders are not... And while searching why, I found messages like these on the Apache error log:
PHP Warning: fopen(): Filename cannot be empty in /my-path/wp-content/plugins/cimy-swift-smtp/Swift/lib/classes/Swift/ByteStream/FileByteStream.php on line 125, referer: http://www.example.com/checkout-page
After disabling Cimy Swift SMTP (and before activated it) all runs fine again.
Any fix?

I don't understand the SAGA-module "NORMALISATION". In SAGA Gis I just can define one MIN and one MAX value. In QGis I have to define 2 of both. How to handle that exactly?
Some sextante plugins dont work properly. You enter which MIN and MAX values but it doesnt matter... It always normalize data between 0 and 1. This problem happens only working with Sextante in QGIS. But works correctly in SAGA.

Universal DSP Controller
Universal DSP Control Board
PCTI's Universal DSP Controller is a revolutionary control solution that provides easily customizable control solutions for PCTI power electronic product via software modification. Most of our competitors are not yet using this superior technology because they lack the expertise to develop it, while we are currently commercializing our sixth generation. It has a wide variety of applications within power conversion equipment including power supplies, UPS's and motor drives. PCTI began research on DSPs for industrial applications in 1994 and successfully implemented them into end-use production in 1998. The DSPs currently in use are the Analog Devices ADMC401 as well as the Texas Instruments TMS 2808. Our sixth generation of DSP control utilizes Texas Instrument's TMS320F28M36, which combines C2000 floating point DSP and Cortex M3 ARM in one single chip. Floating point DSPs enable more advanced control algorithms, while M3 ARM can implement control panel and remote communications for our machines. PCTI will have this sixth generation implemented into all products by year-end 2015.
DSP Applications
DSP applications which PCTI currently addresses include:
- Motor Drives
- Active Power Factor Correction and Harmonic Cancellation
- Power Supplies (linear and switched mode)
- Battery Chargers and Dischargers
- Frequency Converters
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies & Systems)
- Inverters (AC/DC, DC/DC, DC/AC, AC/AC Frequency Changer)
- Power Electronic Data Acquisition Systems
Click the button on the top right for representative project profiles with DSP control. For more information, please contact PCTI about the Universal DSP Controller. Our DSP controller can be applied in virtually any power electronic application.
DSP controllers are not sold separately.
The Advantages of using DSPs in your Power Electronic Equipment
The innovation of DSP control into power electronic designs is an excellent example of the advantages provided by major technological advances. By replacing classic control with DSP control, the primary advantages are achieved by replacing hardware with flexible software. The advantages are even more dramatic because they don't just extend to reducing cost and increasing performance over classic designs. They can extend to many corners of the organization and include overall staff reductions and the advantages that standardization of designs across product lines bring, depending on the company. Following are the potential benefits for your organization.
- Lower Cost. The controller will reduce the material cost of the customer's equipment, labor content, and overhead related to both materials and labor (purchasing transactions cost, accounting transactions costs, factory overhead). This reduction may be from 20% to 50% of the cost of the unit depending on the equipment power rating.
- Reduction in the size and weight of the unit. As with calculators in the early 1970's, technological advancement allows equipment to become smaller and lighter. Smaller and lighter can translate into several cost reductions including labor, transportation, and materials.
- Increased performance. The fast math-intensive functions and high execution speed allow for faster control response and correction to achieve desired parameters and therefore a better performing machine.
- Automation of in-house testing. The DSP software allows for automation of the testing process, thus reducing the labor content of the technical staff.
- Increased design flexibility. The software within the DSP can be easily modified to optimize the application once in use in the field or if the application changes once the unit is installed. This also makes tweaking the design easy in-house.
- An increase in application flexibility. The application that the equipment addresses can be easily modified via software changes as opposed to design changes.
- Ease of design modification or troubleshooting in the field. Customers wanting to diagnose or modify the functionality of their equipment once they receive it can have it done via software and modem rather than returning it to the factory or having an expensive service call.
- A reduction in energy consumption. Active harmonic cancellation and better energy management achieved by the real-time control of the DSP and the software that controls it reduces energy consumption.
- Standardization across product lines. The same controller board can be used for a battery charger, an inverter or a switched mode power supplies; thus economics are achieved by reducing the number of components in inventory across numerous product lines as well as the overhead associated with specifying and purchasing components.
- Reduced Time to market. Software is certainly easier to revise than manufactured hardware.
The advantages to using PCTI for your power conversion project is we know your application and have superior technologies such as DSPs that perform better and are cost competitive.
For more information, see our blog about our sixth generation of DSP Control Technology or contact PCTI about the Universal DSP Controlled equipment that can be used in to fit your requirement.

Foreign Laws Bill Draws Concerns

House Democrats are raising concerns that a bill preventing state judges from applying foreign laws would block the application of divorces granted in Israel.
Democrats questioned Wednesday whether the bill would hurt the state's Jewish population by banning Florida courts from recognizing divorces granted in Israel to Jewish couples.
The measure (HB 351) is aimed at preventing the application of Islamic and other foreign laws in divorce and child custody cases if doing so would violate a person's rights guaranteed under the U.S. and Florida constitutions.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Larry Metz, didn't know of any cases such cases in Florida.
Metz called it a preventive measure due to attempts elsewhere to apply foreign laws in U.S. courts.
The bill is now ready for a final vote.
