The main purpose of calculating the knee point voltage is to identify the core saturation characteristics .This is mainly done on protection CT's
What is the purpose of calculating knee point voltage for Current transformers?
Questions by rohitasruti answers by rohitasruti
- Oct 5th, 2007
After knee point, saturation of the CT occurs. Hence the CT has to work below the knee point. By selecting a CT suitably for operating point below the knee point, proper operation of the protection (like differential, REF where protection class CTs are used) can be ensured.
- Oct 5th, 2007
The purpose of calculating knee point is to select CT with operating point below knee point as above knee point CT tends to saturate and cause mal operation of protection relay. Knee point calculation is done for CTs used for differential protection and REF.
- Oct 3rd, 2009
Purpose of collecting Knee voltage is to use the circuit as an operating or as an metering circuit.
Operating circuit works far below knee voltage.
Metering circuit works at the verge of saturation.

When taking over as Manchester United manager, David Moyes' biggest task was remodelling the midfield, following years of neglect from Sir Alex Ferguson.
Marouanne Fellaini was the only purchase, but he spent much of the season out injured and has only started six Premier League games.
Darren Fletcher's return from injury following a year out recovering from his bowel condition was a welcome boost, but with Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley the only other available midfielders, United have struggled in the centre of the park this season.
With just a few months until the end of the season, Moyes will be looking to strengthen the midfield in the summer, but which player should he target? Here are six players who tick all the boxes, in terms of the position they play, as well as their ability to keep possession and create chances.

How do we remember events and moments in our life? How can we provide a way for people to remember how they felt during a period of their life?
At this point my proposal is some form of interactive timeline. I will focus on presentation and not worry about entering data into the system.
- Inclusion of multiple media types. Seeing pictures and text together will be difficult to integrate.
- Overlapping time frames. You can easily ask question about days, months, years. These time frames overlap. How to present this?
- Scale of events. People have a lot of events in their life. How to see all of them?
- Nov 14: Brainstorm designs and focus on 1 or 2. Decide on technology used.
- Nov 18: Interface data with presentation.
- Nov 28: Code.
- Dec 1: Final touches and Presentation
Personal Timelines
sounds like a hard problem. for me i already have a journal with just text and pictures. but i dont have any labels or anything, its just text. id imagine a good way to do the input is to force people to write their text into boxes that then apply a tag to the text so your program can know what they are writing about.
How could people annotate this timeline to make it interesting? Should it be a private timeline? or something that people would want to publish to their friends? (Here is where we got a new cat, here is a photo of our family with the cat, etc)
I think scoping the project is the most difficult. Could I suggest using personal photos as a source? I don't put a lot of photos on Facebook, opting instead to send them to friends, and I realized it would be cool to annotate these photos easily and perhaps have a way to export these annotations + photos.
I think the motivation is cool, but I'm not as clear as to what this thing will look like. I also am curious as to how the data will be entered.. especially for things like happiness, etc. One thing that might be cool is to set up a data-gathering service that emails your users at regular intervals asking them to fill out a survey / rate their happiness. I think that your users will require encouragement to enter personal reflections, because often we don't go to the internet to do that.
I agree with Jeff: to get a good idea of the domain you will need real data. Trying to use fake data would not uncover the real issues: what if a bunch of events happen in a short time frame (e.g. graduation), how will they fit on the timeline? If you make up data then these issues simply would not arise.
Using your personal photos over the years will be a great source, and visualizing that would be pretty strong. it'll tie in well to the video you started off with, which in some ways was snippets of your life.
This really seems like the intersection of technology, art, and poetry. In your presentation, do you have specific strategies for prying into people's emotions and getting them to self-examine while using your app?
I'd like to see how your data is setup as well. I'd really like something like this to help me remember people I've lost contact with.
I would love see something like this. It sounds like a complicated problem in several areas, but I wonder if there is some way of catching the experiences that one might not easily pick out as memorable moments. I think one of the interesting thing about the inspirational video you showed is how much the moments seem like things that I wouldn't really have written in a diary or on my own personal timeline at the time. One of the most notable to me was the quick clip of someone licking an ice cream cone. It seems so trivial on a day to day basis, but often these trivialities are some of the most vivid memories when we can somehow dredge them up.
Good collection of links. As mentioned in the other related project, being able to estimate causality for events and occurences could be useful, although it may be an inexact science.
Another interesting element could be to discern periodicity and recurrance of events. For this and also to be able to handle scale, a spiral timeline representation is investigated in this paper - see Visualizing time series on spirals - Weber http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=963273&isnumber=20791&tag=1
It sounded like you were still in the contemplative phase of planning out your design. I do think that it's an interesting idea to focus on the presentation rather than the substantive data retrieval aspect of the problem.
Is your goal to have the presentation play or animate in some way like the motivational video you showed? This sounds like it could be quite challenging, from the perspective of selectiveness involved to produce something like that. Will your data assume that people only input data that is significant into their journals/diaries/etc.? I ask this, because it seems that the majority of Facebook would argue otherwise. ^_-
Sounds like a challenging and exciting problem. I have no clue about visualizing how people felt during a period of time. Eliciting the same emotional response with pictures or words of the time is probably the best, but how to best extract those and show to the users is an open question. I wonder if you will allow user inputs that can perhaps filter by certain person or people.
I'm interested in the challenge you mentioned in your presentation of dealing with mismatches in temporal density. It seems like it would be a common case that someone might, for instance, have hundreds of photos from a two week vacation, but then not have any for months at a time. It seems like in sharing media from past life events with friends, we naturally tend to construct a cohesive narrative to connect the dots, rather than relaying a list of disjoint memories. We tend to smooth the differences in temporal density when telling a story, by embellishing where there are gaps in memory and by abstracting from dense data to broad themes when there are too many specific memories for a limited period of time. It's this aspect of story-telling that it seems to me your timeline must capture. Are there ways you might study how people tell stories of their own life events to friends ,and then use what you learn about that interpersonal sharing to better engage in personal reflection? How do we construct cohesive narratives for personal reflection, and is it the same process we use for constructing the narratives we tell our friends?
Like you, my partner and I focused on presentation rather than a particular data set for assignment 3. While it worked out alright, we spent quite a bit of time on the very last day trying to find data that would work well with what we had built (TreeClimber). Your idea sounds great, and I think you'll be able to manage just fine, but I just wanted to say that sometimes finding appropriate data once you've built your application can be tricky!
i went and read your initial proposal, and when i read the part about visualizing a couple's relationship, i thought of this link: http://tumblr.quisby.net/post/246438948 . like the facebook bytes group, i would definitely love to use this viz, and the project seems difficult because of the initial problem of getting the data into a usable state.
I love your motivation, and it seems quite a challenge to create a visualization that tickles those special moments. You probably would want to focus on a specific input data source, such as a blog. For instance, a lot of my happy moments have to do with cooking and baking for a social gathering. Although I don't keep a blog myself, I know that many people make a photo blog of their cooking/ baking procedures, ending with the final picture and comments on sharing the result with friends and families. I believe this kind of thing would serve as an excellent source of input to your project.
This is a very fertile data field. You can really go wild and create some amazing visualizations. It's this kind of projects that make me wish that I kept a blog or something similar. Still, I wish you the best of luck and really look forward to seeing what you produce.
This sounds like and art project at the same time.
I believe presentation, especially background color and color themes, can play a crucial role in your visualization. May be use color code to represent the mood or season of the time the log was recorded. If your focus is to bring back memory, how about adding sound as well? I know that it is not pure "visual"ization but it is an interesting realm to explore.
Your inspirational video was quite . . . inspiring. I think what captivated me most was the fact that the events were not of my own life, but that of others. It might be interesting to consider visualizations that compare and contrast periods for groups of people (e.g. a visualization of college years using data from yourself and your roommate). Also, in the vein of the inspirational piece, I think a video mode that combines images and songs that the user has designated as relevant for specific periods of their life would be quite engaging.
I think that specificity of your data set will define a convincing or unconvincing visualization. Other projects that are attempting to dip into online repositories are treating the data as something that already contains but is unintentionally hiding the kind meaning that could drive memories or reflection. It seems to me that without establishing that source it makes the problem both easier and harder. Easier because you are not dealing with the technical challenges of access and aggregation but also harder because the demo that you set up are in a sense canned for your particular hand picked data which makes its utility as a general tool difficult to judge. It may end up appearing like one of those nature documentaries where they filmmakers place the rabbit in front of the fox in order to provoke a chase scene they can film. I think it would wonderful if your memory provoking strategy would work on anyone's stuff so that it doesn't feel like the rabbit was planted as it were.

Keeping Nooks relevantOmnigeek Oct 12, 2015 1:48 PM
B&N may be losing me as a customer for the silliest reason.
Shortly after my year-long warranty on my Glolight expired, the rubber border started tearing and I simply couldn't get an answer on how to get a replacement. I was pretty happy with the Glolight until then, it took SD cards and had a good resolution and lighting. About the only complaints I had were the raised power button and limited memory (seriously, why couldn't they have doubled the memory capacity when they released it?).
The frayed rubber was annoying but some months later, the rubber went beyond fraying and simply snapped. Then the top frame started coming off while the Glolight was in my laptop case or cargo pocket. Some months later, the 'n' button came out of the case and got lost -- no matter, I could still use the power button to wake it. Then the power button came out and I had to resort to keeping a paper clip handy so I could poke at the real buttons.
This got really inconvenient on my trip overseas as I found myself camping or hiking in conditions where having my ereader fall apart was ... suboptimal. I started taking my HD with me on daily trips -- bad idea as it fell out of my pocket into bottom of the canoe and lay there for a good 20+ minutes (unbeknownst to me until I got out of the canoe). I tried the bag-of-rice trick and still get a blinking red LED when trying to charge it.
Flash forward to this week. I finally broke down and bought another ereader which shall remain nameless but it's EPUB-friendly, has excellent resolution, and I no longer have to worry about grabbing a zippered plastic enclosure to use it in the hot tub. I found I had to hack said ereader to set my own screen saver images (randomized B&W comics). It took a little work but the hack was fairly easy. The new ereader has more effective memory but is a pain in the butt because it seems to crash while processing content if the EPUBs are "malformed". It uses a backlit LED system that's okay but I preferred the Glolight display as well as the ease of turning the lighting on only when desired/needed. I don't mind it being slightly bigger but it's heavier than my Glolight was (not by much but I was really impressed with how light and handy the NST and Glolight were).
I would love to see a new Nook that combined the resolution and IP67 quality of my new ereader with a form factor and display quality similar to the Glolight -- and please, if you're going to use rubber bits that fray, provide a way for consumers to replace them. I would gladly have bought a replacement rubber strip last year! Keeping the NST form factor with an improved Glolight display and more memory would have been ideal for me -- I liked the buttons for page flips instead of continually swiping.
As far as the HD goes, I preferred the HD to the Samsung NGT. I couldn't believe how Samsung neutered the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S5 with inadequate memory when flash memory was so cheap. I understand why BN corporate wanted to get out of the business of designing and building their own ereaders and tablets but for a short period, BN really led the way and had the best designed products. IMO, going the walled garden route was what killed them.

Polistes bellicosus
Polistes bellicosus is a social paper wasp from the order Hymenoptera typically found within Texas, namely the Houston area.[1] Like other paper wasps, Polistes bellicosus build nests by manipulating exposed fibers into paper to create cells. P. bellicosus often rebuild their nests at least once per colony season due to predation.[1]

Taxonomy and phylogeny[edit]
Polistes bellicosus belongs to the subfamily Polistinae, which consists of only social wasps. Polistinae is divided into four tribes: Polistini, Epiponini, Mischocyttarini and Ropalidiini.[3] The tribe Polistini includes the genus Polistes and is the only tribe of Polistinae with a cosmopolitan distribution, i.e. it is the only tribe found in many different global habitats. Polistes bellicosus is most closely related to P. apaches based on a phylogenetic tree.[3]
Description and identification[edit]
Along with the genetic similarity, the phylogeny of the larva is also explained using morphological characteristics. Starting at the head, larvae are often dark brown. The body is widest at the anterior part of the abdomen and tapers towards the posterior end. The circular, slender mandible is weakly chitinized.[4] From the mandible extend two or three pointed teeth. Polistes larval mandibles function in opening and closing the mouth for intaking food. Larval mandibles are both longer and narrower than the mandibles of Vespa larvae. Secreted saliva may aid in food-reception for the larvae. Compared to Vespinae, the pleural lobes of Polistinae are less conspicuous.[4]
Adult morphology[edit]
Males and females have lemon-yellow abdominal segments. Females have a fine, central, longitudinal, black line along the mesothorax, which is transversely wrinkled.[5] The mesothorax in males has two longitudinal lines on the side. Both sexes have yellow mandibles and narrow posterior orbits that are broader toward the bottom.[5] Although caste separations are present in P. bellicosus, females in the colony are not morphologically different.[6]
Nest structure[edit]
Paper wasps manufacture the paper for their nests from small fibers detached from exposed, weathered wood. The paper wasps use their mandibles to compress the wood fibers into thin sheets, which are used as cells for the nest and coverings—except in Polistes, where cells are not enclosed.[5] The nests created in this fashion are structurally resilient and relatively weatherproof. Inside the nest, the cells along the perimeter are roughly circular while the inner cells are more hexagonal. The number of cells in a nest depends on the size of the colony. Typically, the nest is oriented so that opening is on or towards the bottom. Nests of Polistes and Polybia generally only contain one layer of cells.[5]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
P. bellicosus generally establish colonies within Texas, though the range has been observed to include North Carolina and Florida.[7] Colonies naturally occur on Baccharis sp., Ilex vomitoria, and Rubus sp.[1] in native prairies at Brazos Bend State Park, near Houston, Texas.[8] Several other paper wasp species—including Polistes exclamans, P. dorsalis, P. metricus, and P. carolinus—are found in Brazos Bend State Park due to the multiple types of habitats present, including native shortgrass prairie and oak forest.[9]
Colony cycle[edit]
The colony cycle of P. bellicosus is similar to many other species of Polistes. Colonies are initiated in March and the cycle lasts eight months. Overwintered females initiate colonies in low vegetation with open-celled nests made of paper fibers. In May, the first brood emerges—consisting of mostly females that usually become workers.[1] The few males that emerge in the first brood mate with workers that eventually leave the original nest to become queens in new nests. The last eggs are laid in late August-September and these males and future overwintering females emerge in late September-October. After a few weeks, the wasps dissociate from the nest to seek shelter for the winter. Some mating may occur in these shelters.[1]
Females all look the same, but they can be divided into four general categories based on role and time of emergence: foundresses, workers, queens, and gynes.[1] Females that have overwintered and then initiated a nest in spring are called foundresses. Foundresses then rear workers, which emerge in the spring and summer. Either foundresses or workers can become queens, which are the principal egg-layers within a nest. Nonworking females that emerge in autumn are gynes.[1]
Dominance hierarchy[edit]
In colonies initiated by several foundresses, it is common for these co-foundresses to cooperate and rear the young. When this occurs, there is a reproductive division of labor that is based upon a dominance hierarchy. Usually, the foundress that establishes dominance is either the largest or the first to arrive at the nesting site.[6] Within a colony, there is a caste system based on behavioral roles and temporal period. Female roles are divided into queen, subordinate, worker, and gyne. The dominant foundress becomes queen of the nest and the rest of the foundresses become subordinates. A worker could potentially become queen if all of the original foundresses leave the nest and she mates with one of the males that emerged early in the season.[6]
Division of labor[edit]
Once a dominance hierarchy is established within a new colony, the queen assumes the responsibility of most of the egg-laying, while the subordinates are responsible for caring for the young. The workers are also responsible for caring for the brood and enlarging the nest.[5] The distinction between workers and gynes is that gynes are only produced late-season and workers emerge throughout the reproductive period. In addition, gynes are inactive in the nest. Gynes mate before overwintering and, if successful, become foundresses for the next season.[1]
Cooperation and helping[edit]
Most workers in Polistes remain in their natal nests and function as helpers.[6] In all but a few species of Polistes, females that emerge mid-season function as helpers until the queen is no longer present. Significant variation in helping is found in foundresses of different species of Polistes. Within a nest, cofoundresses are found to be more than 50% related.[10][11]The degree of relatedness between the cofoundresses may explain the benefit of joining a nest as a subordinate rather than developing a separate nest with a lower chance of success. Subordinates contribute labor toward the care of the dominant foundress's offspring and decrease the foundress' mortality by taking over the more dangerous foraging labors.[11]
Nest selection[edit]
Foundresses attempt to establish new nests every spring. Paper wasps are often expected to select nest sites that were successful in previous seasons.[11] When foundresses attempt to establish nests in new sites, there is the possibility that the site is disadvantageous to colony initiation. Foundresses who do not succeed in initiating a nesting site alone often, out of necessity, join another colony as a subordinate. The foundresses typically join the nests established their sisters.[10] Foundresses that must join established nests enter as subordinates, but do not differ in size than successful foundresses.[10]
Foundress mortality[edit]
The likelihood of foundress death increases at a constant rate the more time she spends away from the nest.[11] Once the first workers emerge in late spring, the foundresses no longer leave the nests and the foundress death decreases significantly.[11] This suggests that foundress death is associated with tasks that occur outside of the nest—such as foraging for food or other resources. In instances where the foundress dies outside the nest, likely due to predation, the brood is left defenseless and is observed to die of starvation.[11] Furthermore, errors in nest site choice likely contribute to foundress mortality. Previously successful nest sites are typically better than new sites. As a result, foundresses that attempt to establish nests in new sites have a higher chance of mortality.[11]
Kin selection[edit]
Polistes bellicosus does not directly follow the Hymenopteran haplo-diploid genetic system where female workers are more related to their sisters (0.75 degree of relatedness) than to their own offspring (0.50). The relatively lower level of relatedness could be explained either by multiple mating—queens mating with more than one reproductive male—or by the presence of multiple egg-layers within a colony.[6] Kin selection theory states that selection favors individuals who act altruistically when the ratio of the cost of the fitness of the giver to the benefit of the recipient is less than the degree of relatedness between the two individuals.[11] In P. bellicosus, foundresses aid fairly close relatives instead of individuals that are unrelated, which explains variation in helping within species.[6]
Queen-subordinate conflict[edit]
Like other species of the genus Polistes, the queen is the primary egg-layer and the subordinates typically do not lay many eggs. However, the subordinates are capable of egg-laying and do so only when the queen is absent. In many cases, potential queens join established nests and become workers and tend to the brood.[10] Often these workers have to submit to aggressive attacks by the queen. If the queen is successful, the workers continue to serve their role and tend to the brood and do not lay eggs. Despite behavioral castes, all females are morphologically similar.[6] Therefore, any female can produce eggs and has the potential to become a queen, regardless of caste level.
Predators are known to knock down and remove entire nests to eat the larvae inside. In the case of ant predation, the ants overwhelm the nest and only frayed remnants are left. However, ant predation in P. bellicosus is observed to be much less common than predation by vertebrates.[1] Among possible vertebrate predators are birds, raccoons, and opossums.[1] Predators either remove the nest whole or in large, broken pieces. The long colony cycle—from spring to late autumn—along with the common predation often requires that the wasps create a new nest at least once during a season.[1] In addition, the chances of a nest being removed or destroyed do not decrease with size of the colony.[1] Thus, larger colonies are at equal risk of predation as smaller colonies.

The Molly Maguires is the kind of film that would simply never be made
today: a major studio picture about social injustice and betrayal in
the coalfields of Pennsylvania in 1876 that became one of the most
colossal box-office flops of all time (despite a massive budget and the
presence of Sean Connery, it actually grossed even less than John
Sayles' low-budget Matewan). Set in the aftermath of a failed strike
where a group of miners are trying to win with dynamite what they lost
with industrial action as their powerlessness turns into violent
action, it's a surprisingly bitter film for a studio picture, even in
the 1970s. There's no doubting that Richard Harris' infiltrator is
damned. Screenwriter Walter Bernstein was blacklisted, and the
experience clearly fuels much of the script. Certainly the end, where
absolution is denied, recalls Abraham Polonsky's comment that he got
through being blacklisted "because I knew for me one day it would end.
For those who named names, it will never end."
But there's more to his script than mere words: huge sections of the film are played without dialogue it's 15 minutes before a single word is spoken and 40 before Sean Connery speaks despite his background presence quietly dominating much of the proceedings. James Wong Howe's astounding scope photography is a major asset, quietly confident as it paints with light a real portrait of a time and place, conveying a sense of the way the pits worked in the beautifully timed establishing shots. There's real intelligence in the framing of the film, whether turning a door frame into an impromptu confessional booth or, in the haunting final shot, turning a rehearsal for one man's execution into another man's silent purgatory. Henry Mancini's score, along with The White Dawn his most beautiful and atypical, is another major plus in a seriously undervalued film.
According to the Films of Sean Connery, the genesis of The Molly
Maguires was a visit to the set of Director Martin Ritt;s Hombre in
which Connery's then wife Diane Cilento was in the cast. Ritt had the
idea for The Molly Maguires back then and asked Connery if he'd give
him the commitment. Connery was intrigued and said yes. But it took
over four years to get the project rolling.
The Molly Maguires has the ring of authenticity to it because Martin Ritt chose to shoot it in an almost abandoned Pennsylvania coal town of Ecksley. Filming the story in a place where the Molly Maguires were active lends a lot of credibility to the film.
The Mollys were a secret cell within the Catholic fraternal society of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The Irish immigrants spread all over America and a good deal of them arrived in the Pennsylvania coal country where they became miners. A trade not unknown in Ireland as that country has considerable deposits of the stuff.
The workers were terribly exploited, having to live in the company town, buy at the company store, and pay for damaged equipment. That together with the health problems we know now about in the mining industry.
There was no organized labor movement yet and the Mollys were at times the only protections those miners had. They'd be considered terrorists now, but an important thing to remember is that unlike today's terrorists, their acts of violence were never random.
One thing I did like was the fact that the company policeman were Protestant and Welsh. That was the generation who were the previous people in the mines. The next generation of coal miners were from Eastern Europe, but that's getting ahead of ourselves. The ethnic conflicts are quite explicit in this film.
Richard Harris plays James McParlan another Irish immigrant sent by the Pinkerton Detective Agency to infiltrate and destroy the Mollys. Connery is Jack Kehoe the leader of them and very suspicious of Harris when he first arrives to work at the mines.
The story as told in the film sticks pretty close to the truth of what happened in Pennsylvania in the 1870s. Informers are not a group that's looked up to in any culture, but the Irish traditionally do have a special disdain for them.
The film is a clash between two men, Harris who wants to rise in class and willing to sell anyone out to do it and Connery whose methods maybe wrong, but has the genuine interest of his fellow miners at heart. After the business in Pennsylvania is concluded and after the action of this film, the real McParlan rose high in the Pinkerton agency, but his name was an anathema among his own people.
The Molly Maguires is a well crafted piece of cinema that unfortunately failed to find an audience back in 1970. Today it's considered a masterpiece and deservedly so.
Having been born and raised in the area this picture was filmed in,naturally I feel a bond to it. Add to that the fact that Richard Harris,one of my favorite actors stars in the film,and its a must see for me. Looking past that the film is riviting. Harris and Connery carry the film as the Cat and Mouse in this Coal town saga each playing to their professional strengths while adding a bit of their own to the roles. The supporting cast is just as strong,particularly the lovely and talented Samantha Eggar and the underused shakespearean actor Frank Finley.
On a personal note,two of my early mentors in theatre,J. Gerald Godwin and Jane Tomassetti have small roles in the film as the Paymaster and Miliner respectivley.
To sum it up..Molly McGuires is a film that you can sink your teeth into..and no matter which side of the conflict you find yourself on you can see what it was that drove men to do what they did.This film will not fail to keep you on the edge of your seat and make you think in the process.
Good story line. Well played. Excellent cast, with some lesser seen actors. Enjoyed this film throughout. Constantly moving story. Historically accurate as I understand. Good example of Sean Connery's earlier (non-Bond) work.
I just wanted to add that I worked in the Carbon County Prison in 1993. They filmed the movie in the actual prison where I worked and to be totally honest, nothing really changed since the 1870's to the current time. I was amazed when I rented the movie right after working my first shift and it was exactly the same, nothing was changed. They built a new prison and all the inmates where moved in the spring of 1994. In the old prison, the hand print was still visible in the cell left by one of the molly Maguires that swore his innocence. They were hung in the middle of the cell block. The cell block was repainted an ugly lime green years ago and the hand print still came thru the paint. This cell was always closed and did not house any inmates. I remember they even had the TV show "Unsolved Mysteries" come and look at the hand print. They currently run tours in the old prison which is located in Jim Thorpe, Pa.
A must-see for any Irish-American. Harris is superb in his role as an undercover Pinkerton investigator. We see his character grow to admire the maguires even though he knows he will eventually betray them. Connery is also great as the attractive leader of the terrorist group. This movie touches on an area tha is often ignored, working conditions in 19th Century America. I especially like the American Football/Rugby hybrid they play against the Welsh town. A unique movie that let's us see both Harris and Connery shine. Good score, pacing, photography, and supporting characters as well. One of my favs!
Adaptation of Arthur H. Lewis' book, which was based on actual accounts, about a Pennsylvania coal-mining town in 1876 and the secret group of rebels who are sabotaging the mines. Stranger-in-town Richard Harris is actually a detective sent there to ferret out the culprits. Downbeat story might have stood some tightening (and possibly a little mood-lightening levity), but is otherwise quite good. Director Martin Ritt works exceptionally well with his cast, getting a terrific, surprisingly low-keyed performance out of Harris in particular; scaling back his high voltage nature, Harris is even approachable enough to make the romance sub-plot between he and Samantha Eggar rather sweet. Sean Connery is sturdy as always, and the colorful supporting cast includes Frank Finlay and Anthony Zerbe, an intriguing character actor who pops up in a myriad of '70's films. **1/2 from ****
This film is a gem! The cinematography, costumes, sets, script, and
acting are all excellent. The story is totally engaging. Some people
might be turning off by the slow start, but it's the perfect set up to
a brilliant piece of cinema. With all of that said, some people take
this film as historical truth. That's where there are major gray areas.
This film was based loosely on the accounts of one man, James McPharlan (Harris' character), and at that doesn't stick too close to his account of infiltrating an underground organization of Irish coal miners who were fronted by the Ancient Order of Hiberians. Hollywood, of course, sexed up the plot and stream lined it so that it would be easier to follow. Not surprising really. The realities of the situation in the Pennsylvania coal fields in the 1860's and 1870's and America in general following the Civil War were very complex. The film didn't have time to cover these details. Like so many historical topics it would take a mini series at least to cover it well.
What this film does do very well is inspire one to study. It's an interesting and little known or understood part of American history. There are a lot of opinions on all sides of the situation that still stir people today. This was effectively the beginning of the labor movement in America. The course of action portrayed in this film led to the establishment of unions.
I watched this movie many times as a child and still do today. It inspired me to read a lot about the Molly Maguires (if they really existed at all) and even go all the way across country (I'm from Seattle) to rural Pennsylvania to see the place for myself. That's what brilliant film making is all about. To inspire a person to understand the world around them more and hopefully take a closer look at it.
Another thing that this film does brilliantly is it leaves the protagonist very open and allows the viewer to decide where, ultimately, their loyalties lay. Connery's character appeals to our sense of social justice. The little guy going against the big machine that oppresses him and all like him. Harris on the other hand is the man who goes against what he feels is right to do what is ultimately correct by catching, what are after all, a group of thugs and murderers (in reality McPharlan didn't have this complex clash of conscience. He thought they were all guilty scum who deserved to be hanged.). It's very Hollywood, but very effective.
The Molly Maguires is a movie which has become better over the years. I am surprised that it was commercially unsuccessful in it's day, since it's absolutely no worse than similar movies of those years such as "Ryan's daughter", "Emperor of the north", or much appraised movies of later years like "Matewan", which explores the same topic of conflict between oppressed working class and the system that's exploiting them. This film is beautifully photographed, and the acting is brilliant, especially from Richard Harris and Sean Connery. The sets are magnificent, and the viewer can feel and sympathize with the burden of the coal miners and their families working and struggling against the system that is grinding them down, and that they can not change, even if they give their lives in the course of that struggle. This film deserved much more and I just think that this is a classic that has to be recognized. 9/10
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This film is a real sleeper. Great cast, well acted, beautifully written, scored, and photographed. There are scenes in it, particularly between Harris and Connery, that are among the best acted by either of these two gentlemen. And if you are a fan of either? You will be seeing them in a fine yet overlooked gem of a film. While in their prime. And doing some of the very best work of their careers. Connery, in a part light-years from James Bond, plays the ultimately doomed Jack Keogh with an understated eloquence and quiet nobility. While Harris as the Detective James McParland, and infiltrator of the Mollies, plays his part with an amiable flair that at first wins us over just as he wins the affection and trust of the men and women he eventually betrays so that in the end, we are let down and made to feel the coldness of his Judas act just as if he has betrayed us as well.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

Soulstice cast hits the right notes with Sondheim's 'Follies'
Just after intermission in the production of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" now being staged by Soulstice Theatre, Heidi Schiller — oldest among the pre-World War II showgirls attending a one-time reunion — begins to warble an operetta-like tune from her heyday.
Playing the older Heidi, Amanda Hull sings that we must never look back. But of course Heidi looks, remembering the ravishing young performer she'd once been, when she could hit every note in songs like this one. Which the suddenly materialized younger Heidi (a lovely Julianne Frey) then easily does, singing of the bittersweet passage of time — something a young Heidi can't possibly feel as acutely as her older self does. »Read Full Article

Jays stumble at Pine Prairie
By Tom Dodge
PINE PRAIRIE - The St. Edmund Blue Jays struggled against the Pine Prairie Panthers, falling 73-41 in the PBHS Invitational.
"They are good at basketball and they showed that tonight," St. Edmund head coach Josh Andrus said about the Panthers.
"But playing teams like this help us down the road."
After Hunter Arnaud drilled a three-pointer to open the game for the Jays, Pine Prairie mounted a 15-2 run as the Panthers broke the game open for good.
Blue Jay Marshall Arabie scored underneath twice in the period as St. Edmund trailed 17-7 as the game moved into the second period.
The Panthers stormed out with a 15-0 run before Adam Clause scored with 4:35 left before intermission for the first St. Ed points of the period.
Arnaud later drove the lane while Arabie and Clause chipped in two free throws each as the Jays closed the gap to 38-16 at the break.
Arabie, who finished with 14 points, scored the first five points of the third period for the Jays including a long range trey.
Arnaud added a jumper at the 5:15 mark to pull the Jays closer, 42-24.
Pine Prairie responded with a 15-2 run to close the third period including several quick buckets off Blue Jay turnovers.
With a 59-26 advantage heading into the final quarter, the Panthers continued to push with a 6-2 run.
Eric Guillory then drained a trey and a bucket, while Clause chipped in a coast-to-coast lay-in and a trey to help the Jays mount a 11-2 run, its best surge of the game.
St. Edmund entertains Oberlin Monday before taking time off for Christmas break.

All i have to say to all of you is...
Good idea
All i have to say to all of you is...
I quite enjoy the Wii. I mean talk about taking gaming to a different level. I really considered the Xbox 360 and the Plystation 3; but in the end, it was the innovative new features the Wii offere. With that being said, I am extremely disappointed that there is no NHL hockey game for the Wii. I love to play hockey. I hown 2 hockey games on the Gamecube and I have probably owned about 15 different hockey games at one point or another. Maybe the rest of the world may not be all that interested in another hockey game, but there is a whole market up here in Canada that is probably just as eager to see what the Wii can offer us for our next hockey game experience. That's not to say that hockey isn't popular anywhere else (it's most certainly growing in it's popularity). I'm just saying that this is a sport worshipped by Canada; and therefore, we need to be apart of it. Both Xox and the Playstation offer hockey games, which means they are covering a market that is escaping the Wii. I don't want to have to spend a whole bunch more money on another console, just so that I can play games that the Wii clearly should have picked up on. Why stop now? Make one game and see how it goes. The Wii has the edge; keep it that way.
well i mean they probably had some contract issues with microsoft and sony and stuff and they probably really want to get hockey right the first time so they are releasing their other games seeing who likes what and stuff.

"Why We Need Innovation To Prepare For the Global Aging Society"
Op-Ed, Forbes
By Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa
"Technology alone will not be adequate to address the needs of the elderly. But policy proposals that fail to take into account advances in medicine and engineering are unlikely to take advantage of human creativity. In fact, strategies that put the elderly at the center of the innovation process could significantly increase the prospects of turning the elderly from being a burden on society to being an asset."

The Internet is at a crossroads. Today it is generally open, interoperable and unified. Tomorrow, however, we may see an entirely different Internet, one not characterized by openness and global reach, but by restrictions, blockages and cleavages. In order to help ensure that the Internet continues to serve as a source of global integration, democratization, and economic growth, American policymakers must be aware of the most significant technical, political and legal challenges to a unified Internet.

The United Nations (UN) is one of the fora where this debate is taking place exhibiting an astonishing rate of norm emergence in cyber-space.

This paper argues WikiLeaks is only the symptom of a new, larger problem which is the result of technological advances that allow a large quantity of data to be 'stolen' at low or no cost by one or more individuals and to be potentially made public and to go 'viral', spreading exponentially online.

"The conventional wisdom among those who looked at the Middle East used to be that you had a choice either of supporting the autocrat or being stuck with the religious extremists. The extraordinary diffusion of information created in Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries reveals a strong middle that we weren't fully aware of. What is more, new technologies allow this new middle to coordinate in ways unseen before Twitter, Facebook, and so forth, and this could lead to a very different politics of the Middle East. This introduces a new complexity to our government's dealings with the region."

State of Play (2009) is the American adaptation of the 2003 British Conspiracy Thriller miniseries, starring Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren, Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams.Though State of Play has much in common with investigative thrillers like All the President's Men, the story revolves around the death of print news at the hand of digital media.
This film contains examples of:
- Adaptation Distillation: The film simplifies most of the plot elements in the BBC miniseries and removes some of the supporting cast's character motivations, but adds a layer of topical subtext (the death of traditional media) and tightens up the script so it's more fast-paced.
- Conspiracy Thriller
- Corrupt Corporate Executive
- Culture Clash: Cal's old-school form of journalistic integrity clashes with Della's adherence to new media and her blog.
- Current Events Blog: Della runs one of these in the film, although it's more gossip and rumor than anything else.
- Da Editor: Cameron Lynne (similar to the UK series' Cameron Foster character), except it's played by a woman - Helen Mirren.
- Debate and Switch
- Going for the Big Scoop: It almost gets Cal killed.
- Hot Scoop: Della Frye, played by Rachel McAdams.
- Intrepid Reporter
- Never Trust a Trailer: The previews would have you believe that Collins' assistant is shot as she walks through a parking garage. In actuality, she is pushed off a subway platform by an unknown assailant.
- New Media Are Evil: Cal is constantly at odds with his editor over having to work with a blogger, as opposed to a more experienced political reporter.
- No Party Given: Collins's political affiliation is never mentioned.
- Shout-Out: There is a half-hidden photograph of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (the Washington Post reporters who broke the Watergate story) on the wall of McCaffrey's cubicle.
- Using You All Along: What happens when Cal learns Collins used a former Army buddy to keep tabs on the woman he was having an illicit affair with. When the soldier learned that Collins' secret lover was working for a company he resented, he killed her and framed the congressman.

A jury found Jimothy Jenkins guilty of being party to first-degree intentional homicide in connection with a street shooting in 2007 that left Anthony Weaver dead. Jenkins was sentenced to life in prison.
He argued that his attorney was ineffective because he failed to call an eyewitness to testify that Jenkins wasn't the shooter.
The First District Court of Appeals rejected Jenkins' argument last year. The Supreme Court reversed that decision Friday, ruling 5-2 that Jenkins has shown his attorney was ineffective.
The state Department of Justice defended Jenkins' appeal. An agency spokeswoman says only that attorneys are reviewing the decision.

—To assess whether outcomes and costs differ for elderly patients admitted to rehabilitation hospitals, subacute nursing homes, and traditional nursing homes.
—Inception cohort stratified by provider type and followed prospectively for 6 months.
—A total of 92 hospital-based units and freestanding facilities from 17 states.
—A total of 518 randomly selected patients with hip fracture and 485 stroke patients admitted from November 1991 to February 1994.
Main Outcome Measures.
—At 6 months comparing community residence, recovery to premorbid levels in 5 activities of daily living (ADLs), Medicare costs, and the number of therapy and physician visits. Outcomes were adjusted for premorbid residence and function, caregiver availability, comorbid illness, admission function, cognition, depression, sensory deficits, and mobility impairments.
—On admission, rehabilitation hospital patients were more likely (P<.001) to have caregivers and better cognitive and physical function. Hip fracture patients admitted to rehabilitation hospitals did not differ from patients admitted to nursing homes in returning to the community (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-2.6) or in the number of ADLs recovered to premorbid level (difference, 0.09 ADL; 95% CI, —0.27-0.44), but stroke patients admitted to rehabilitation hospitals were more likely to return to the community (adjusted OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.5-7.2) and recover ADLs (difference, 0.63 ADL; 95% CI, 0.20-1.07). Subacute nursing home patients with stroke were more likely than traditional nursing home patients to return to the community (adjusted OR, 6.8; 95% CI, 2.2-21.4), there was no difference in return to the community for patients with hip fracture (adjusted OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.7-3.6), and there were no differences in recovery of ADLs for either condition. Medicare costs were greater (P<.001) for rehabilitation hospital patients than for subacute nursing home patients, and the costs for subacute nursing home patients were greater (P=.03 for stroke and.009 for hip fracture) than for traditional nursing home patients.
—Study findings are consistent with enhanced outcomes for elderly patients with stroke treated in rehabilitation hospitals but not for patients with hip fracture. Subacute nursing homes were more effective than traditional nursing homes in returning patients with stroke to the community, despite comparable functional outcomes.

POLICE: The security forces were driven from the streets during the anti-Mubarak
POLICE: The security forces were driven from the streets during the anti-Mubarak uprising and they have never fully returned, remaining in disarray and resentful, hated by many for the deaths of protesters and past abuses. During this week's violence, angry policemen drove their top boss, the interior minister, out of a funeral for two officers killed in the rioting, accusing him of not doing enough to protect them. The police complain they are not adequately armed to face protesters. They are also reluctant to risk their lives to protect the rule of the Islamists, their enemies during the Mubarak years.
