The King of All Road Trips
For years we have been hearing about the wonders of South Africa, but until we got down there to see it for ourselves, we couldn't quite believe how awesome this country could be! From the spectacular coastlines to the rugged mountains, to the blissful savannah of the Kruger Park and the rolling hills of the Transkei, South Africa is more like exploring a whole continent than a single country. With 11 official languages, more cultural diversity than any place we've ever been, exotic animals at every turn, exquisitely delicious and affordable food, cheap beer and plentiful world-class wines, and more adventure sports than your adrenal glands know how to handle, there is something for EVERYONE in South Africa! All seen with your new travel buddies on the road trip of all road trips...this is not a trip you want to miss!!
Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Ever wanted to swim with sharks, dive with crocs, bungee off the highest bridge in the world, or skydive (while watching whales breach in the ocean below)?? Sounds like we're making it up, and we might as well be! South Africa will blow your mind so that YOU won't even believe what you saw! Throughout the trip you will have many opportunities to witness beautiful wild mammals and then head out diving where you could catch hundreds of dolphins and, in the right season, you might just catch a humpback whale breaching offshore. Don't believe it? Come see for yourself!
Latitude 31°
Latitude 31° has a special place in our hearts as it crosses directly through the Transkei, one of the most beautiful places we have ever been, with a quaint, laidback vibe that is right in tune with the Free & Easy philosophy. Throughout the trip, on any given day you might see a penguin, a lion, an elephant, a great white shark, a humpback whale, a baboon, a giraffe and the list goes on and on. It could be argued that if you only had one chance to travel in your life you would best go to South Africa so you could scratch off all those bucket list items at once!

Advertisement An engineering team spent eight months developing the quadcopter dropship, which is designed to deliver rovers to their target landing sites while avoiding rock fields, slopes and other hazards. The flight test was conducted at Airbus's Trauen site in northern Germany, where a 17,000-square-foot patch of simulated Martian terrain was created. After flying to a height of 55 feet, the Dropter decreased its altitude until it was 32 feet above the ground — at which point it began lowering a mock rover on a 16-foot-long bridle, continuing to decrease altitude until the rover touched down. The Dropter used GPS and inertial systems to fly into position, and then switched to vision-based navigation supplemented by a laser range finder and a barometer to autonomously land the rover without smashing it against any of the jagged rocks. Having demonstrated that the concept is viable, the European Space Agency says it will continue to assess its possible use for future planetary missions.

Chaotic Neutral
"I don't believe in guilt, I only believe in living on impulses"
"Stereotypes about personality and gender turn out to be fairly accurate: ... On the binary Myers-Briggs measure, the thinking-feeling breakdown is about 30/70 for women versus 60/40 for men." ~ Bryan Caplan
I find this ad (posted poster-sized at a local mall near work) to be borderline pedophilia:
Am I being oversensitive to be weirded out by that?
EDIT: part of my being disturbed is that the ad is targeting 15 year olds (at the low end). and I'm old enough to find the thought of marketing push-up bras to 15 year olds disturbing. Plus, having a poster-sized ad in the middle of the mall seems a little pornographic to me. I guess I'd feel the similarly about a full-sized A&F boy ad in the food court, too. Maybe it's just the tackiness.
Is that woman underage? How do you know?
Anyway, as a middle-aged gay man, I'm not in the target market for the ad in any respect. I just found it disturbing on some level and was trying to figure out why.
Aerie explicitly targets the 15-21 age group.
UPDATE: after googling around a bit (only this forum could make me google for lingerie), I think it's the combination of the appearance of no make-up, the non-hair-do, and the pose all suggesting a lack of maturity. Other ads seem to hint at sophistication and knowingness on the part of the women. Most feature more visible make-up, expensive jewelry, elaborate hair-dos, provocative poses and/or high end settings. I couldn't find a single one that hit all the notes of the Aerie ad. So... that's enough explanation for me, even if it doesn't skeeve others out.
Looks like any other lingerie ad to me: attractive twentysomething model in her underwear bathed in sunlight and surrounded in flowers and girly crap like that. Yes the image carefully suggests youth. It very deliberately suggests youth. Does that mean it's targeted at teenagers? Yes and no: it's targeted to any female from the pubescent to menopausal.
The idea of youth sells products to women better than any other marketing strategy. It's directed just as much at a 37-year-old still trying to look and feel physically/sexually attractive as it is a 14-year-old who's just beginning to understand her own sexuality.
Why do teenage girls sometimes dress 'inappropriately'? They haven't fully grasped the social cues that their clothing exude. Appearing 'slutty' at that age is, in my mind, an exercise in experiential learning.

any tips on how to counter infantry/ shooty armies like the guard or the tau with a Raven Wing bike army?
It's all about your speed. Most armies spread out some, to grab objectives or whatever reason. You can hit a small part of a bigger army with your whole army. Also, every army has a unit they rely on. IG loves it's tanks dearly, kill them. Tau loves it's Railguns and Suits, kill them. When someone is used to a unit doing impressive things and it dies early, they panic.
Just focus and destroy them piecemeal. Block shooting with CC or terrain if you can. Keep your army together and supported.
If they bunch together, well it'll be messy. You have to kill what has the best chance of punching through your saves and than mop up the grunts. Also, you have superior mobility, use it in the last turns.

Prince of Excess already mentioned some of the most important things.
Like Prince of Excess said: concentrate your force on smaller parts of the enemy. Slower armies have to carefully divide and isolate first, but you just hit them and it's over before they know what happened.
And that's the key, I think: don't be shy! It _will_ cost you a lot to get to them. But the more you more give in to doubt and falter, the higher these costs will become, while that indecisive behaviour won't win you anything in the meantime.
You have to rush with full force. You will face a lot of casualties on turn 1 and 2 and it will seem alarming. But after that you should have the upper hand and from there you should be able to wind it up.
So just do it.
We could probably go further into detail if we knew your actual list (and theirs, if possible).
Cheers, DH

so as far as weapons go is it even worth it to use flamers or should my bikes go with the meltas and plasmas ?
I'd favor Melta, than Flamer than Plasma. Vehicles are so common, cover saves are also big, MEQS without a cover save aren't common.

When it comes to me and my ravenwing. I like to have a suicide squad or two while the rest either out flank or stay back, provide cover fire. Along with land speeders.
However since guard and tau are your problem, and they do suck in combat and are typically tank heavy. I'd load up on assault cannon heavy bolter land speeders, jetbike sammael (these will chew threw infantry and light tanks), out flank 2Xmelta gun squads (combat squading is the best way to pull this off) along with multi melta attack bikes.
But that's me...
I personally find Outflanking underwhelming. It's a bit nicer with Bikes but it's very easy to play around with many armies. Tons of Bikes coming 24" at me with 3+ Cover Saves is much more worrying. The guns are all solid gold though.

WASHINGTON (WJZ)—A Maryland family is at the center of a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Their daughter was killed in a car crash linked to General Motors' faulty ignition switches.
Mary Bubula reports GM's CEO testified why they waited 13 years to issue a recall.
In July 2005, 16-year-old Amber Rose was killed in Southern Maryland when the airbags on her Chevy Cobalt didn't deploy.
Her death is the first linked to the defect.
GM now says it knew about the faulty ignition switch three years before Rose's death.
"If they had simply fixed the problem back then, not one of our children would have died. They are directly responsible for all these family members who have lost children and countless others who have been in accidents. It's repulsive," said Laura Christian, Rose's mother.
Christian and other victim's relatives are on Capitol Hill for two days of Congressional hearings investigating why GM failed to recall several models of small cars, including the Cobalt.
GM's new CEO Mary Barra is testifying.
"My sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall, especially the families and friends who lost their lives or were injured. I am deeply sorry, " Barra said.
Barra personally met with family members Monday night and apologized for failing to fix the ignitions sooner.
The faulty ignition switch can suddenly shut the engine off, disabling power steering, power brakes, seat belts and airbags.
"A piece that cost pennies failed to provide enough force, causing the car to turn off. GM knew about this problem in 2001. They were warned again and again over the next decade, but they did nothing," said Congresswoman Diane DeGette, D-Colo.
"What we have here is a failure to communicate, and the results were deadly," said Congressman Tim Murphy, R-Pa.
The government's top highway safety officials are expected to tell lawmakers that GM withheld information that could have led to a timely recall and saved lives.
Several lawsuits have been filed against GM. But under bankruptcy terms from 2009, it's not responsible for accidents or incidents before then.
GM has recalled millions of cars for various reasons over the past two months. The victims' families want those cars taken off the road immediately.

The Minneapolis City Council will mull changes in state law Thursday that could make life easier for bicyclists, including more flexibility to allow cities to lower motorists' speed limits below 30 miles per hour.
The changes are among a number of items the council will consider lobbying the Legislature about. For example, the city may push for a study on the economic impact of bicycling, legislation to "clarify the issue of yielding to [a] bicyclist in a bike lane," and a law that would prohibit stopping a vehicle in a bike lane.
The city also may lobby for increased funding for pedestrian and bicycle "infrastructure and programming" and changes to the street system that allow for streets that "safely meet the needs of all who use them."

Totally 29,000 people were evacuated from 72 villages in 14 rural areas and the city of Biysk. As of May 4 a total of 8,756 houses and 9,087 farmlands were flooded.
In the latest days the water level has lowered in the Katun, Anuya, Biya, Charysh and Perchanaya rivers. Meteorologists say rains are expected that is why the situation remains tense.
Heavy rains hit Siberia - Altai Territory, the Republic of Khakassia and the Altai Republic. Thousands of houses have been flooded. Rescuers are evacuating the flood-hit people. A state of emergency has been introduced in the three regions.
Policemen are on high alert in 14 flooded areas, he said.
The water level rises to a critical level in the Republic of Altai, Tyva, Khakassia and Altai Territory.
The Altai Republic government says the flood destroyed 230 kilometres of roads and 1.5 kilometres of the M52 Highway that connected the region to Mongolia.
The flood destroyed 15 bridges. Roads can start being restored after the water level begins lowering. "Foodstuffs, communication tools and engines are being delivered by horse-drawn vehicles," the government says.
I mean material assistance on the amount of 10,000 roubles. I ask you to provide 50,000 roubles for partial loss of property and 100,000 roubles for total loss of property Vladimir Punchkov Russia's Emergencies Minister According to the republic's authorities, there is no electricity in six villages because "forty-eight transmission towers were flooded".
Electricity supply is expected to be restored by June 1-4, the authorities say.
Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev emphasised the need to rapidly estimate the damage to the flood-hit Siberia and determine the amount of compensations.
"It is necessary to estimate the damage quickly... because people have begun asking for compensations. All documents should be prepared shortly," Medvedev said.
Russia's Emergencies Minister Vladimir Punchkov said people, who were struck by the flood in Siberia, could be provided from 10,000 roubles to 100,000 roubles for the loss of property.
"We're estimating the damage. Today a document has been prepared. I ask you to support the decision for providing funding from the federal budget," Puchkov told Medvedev.
"In addition, we propose to pay compensations to Russian regions for conducting rescue operations," Puchkov said.
The latest disastrous flood in Russia occurred in the Far East in 2013 when due to torrential rains the Amur and Zeya Rivers burst their banks. This was the worst flood for the past 120 years. The total damage reached 527 billion roubles. The federal budget provided 30 billion roubles to restore regions, including energy and housing and public facilities. Totally over 40 billion roubles were allocated to cope with the consequences of the flood.

Thread bastardizing here:
My concern about the next WCSS track daze day is whether or not the street bikes or non WMRC riders will be able to ride with aftermarket exhausts? Will sound be an issue?
I really liked the idea of Track Daze.. to get people in BC out at mission with little bike prep.. the first time almost ever, but if sound is really a big issue then it will deter a lot of street riders away.
(o'.'o) Thanks to Twinbros Racing for my avatar!
Me is wondering also.Originally Posted by Kamui
Ahemmmm. Thanks Al, that is exactly what I was going to say when the phone stopped ringing. The reasonable fee for the plug will be $25 and you even get to keep it. We will have drills and wire to install them but you will probably have to run the tools yourself. If your aftermarket can has an oval opening it will be difficult to get an exact sized plug. If you have your stock exhaust still kicking around it is probably easier to install that than the plug.

In present day technology, wherein MOSIC circuitry is employed in a variety of electronic circuits, recent improvements have been directed into incorporating all of the circuit elements which are necessary for small-sized calculators into a single semiconductor chip. As one type of circuit which may be so constructed, a clock pulse generator circuit, made up of a closed-loop arrangement of three inverters and capacitors connected therebetween has been developed. This circuit is described in U.S. patent application entitled Pulse Generator Ser. No. 433,483 filed Jan. 15, 1974 by S. Shimada et al. and assigned to the assignee of the present application, and relates to the subject matter of Japanese priority application No. 6, 1971/73 filed in Japan on June 4, 1973.
One of the problems associated with such electronic circuitry is the instability of the same due to changes in ambient temperature and the power supply voltage therefor. Moreover, when electronic circuits are manufactured in the form of MOSIC structure, the oscillating periods among the variously manufactured MOSICs will vary over a wide range due to the differences in the characteristics of the respective circuits.
As a result, some form of compensation is necessary to prevent this instability and to compensate for the differences of the oscillating periods among the mass-produced pulse generator MOSICs.
It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide a compensation circuit to compensate for instability in the electrical characteristics of a MOSIC (particularly a load MOSFET) due to changes in the ambient temperature.
It is another object to provide a circuit for compensating for the instability of the electric characterisics of a MOSIC (particularly a load MOSFET) due to changes in power supply voltage.
It is a further object to provide a compensation circuit which compensates for differences in the electric characteristics which may be distributed among mass-produced MOSICs over a wide range.
It is still a further object of the present invnetion to provide a pulse generator circuit which has a stable duty ratio or oscillating period with respect to changes in ambient conditions of the circuit.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a pulse generator circuit which may be manufactured according to MOSIC technology, so that variations in the duty ratio or oscillating periods among the various MOSICs are kept to a minimum.
In order to achieve the above objects, the compensation circuit of the present invention employs a high value resistor and a pair of MOSFETS connected in parallel, one of which is of the enhancement type and the other of which is of the depletion type, connected to the input of a pulse generator circuit, for example. The drain electrodes of the respective MOSFETS are connected to the power supply through the resistor, and are also connected to the gate electrode of the depletion load MOSFET which is connected to an enhancement type MOSFET. For changes in the ambient temperature or supply voltage, changes in the electrical characteristics of the pulse generator circuit are compensated by the changes in the electrical characteristics and conditions of the compensation circuit. In its simplest form, the compensation circuit need only comprise a single MOSFET and resistor connected thereto between the circuit for which compensation is desired and the power source.
FIG. 1 depicts a basic circuit arrangement of the present invention in which the compensation circuit employs a single MOSFET and resistor;
FIG. 2 depicts a modification of the circuit in FIG. 1 with respect to the electrode connections of the compensating MOSFET:
FIG. 3 depicts a further modification of the invention with respect to the electrode connections of the compensating MOSFET;
FIG. 4 depicts still a further modification of the present invention relating to the connection of the electrodes of the compensating MOSFET:
FIG. 5 depicts an embodiment of the present invention employing a pair of parallel connected MOSFETS in the compensating circuit;
FIG. 6 depicts the present invention employed in a pulse generator circuit; and
FIg. 7 illustrates respective timing diagrams for explaining the operation of FIG. 6.
With attention now directed to the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 1, the compensation circuit includes a series connection of a high valued resistor 4 (ranging in the value from 50KΩ to 100KΩ) and a MOSFET 3, connected between power supply source VGG and ground. The connection point of resistor 4 and MOSFET 4 is connected to the gate of MOSFET 1 which, together with MOSFET 2, forms an inverter circuit, MOSFET 1 being the load for MOSFET 2.
Now, when the ambient temperature of the circuit increases, the current flowing through MOSFET 1 will decrease, since the threshold voltage Vth of MOSFET 1 increases. Similarly, the current flowing through MOSFET 3 will decrease, so that the voltage drop across resistor 4 will decrease. In other words, the voltage V applied to the gate of MOSFET 1 increases. This increase in the gate voltage causes an increase in the current flowing through MOSFET 1, so that changes in the electrical characteristics of the inverter circuit containing MOSFETs 1 and 2 will necessarily be compensated as a result of the above-mentioined effect provided by resistor 4 and MOSFET 3.
In another form of the invention, shown in FIG. 2, MOSFET 3 is of the enhancement type and its gate electrode is connected to the power supply source VGG for compensating changes both in the ambient temperature and the supply voltage. More specifically, when the supply voltage VGG increases, the voltage V supplied to the gate of the MOSFET 1 will increase. Similarly, the voltage applied to the gate of MOSFET 3 will increase, causing an increase in the current flowing through the resistor 4 connected in series therewith. Thus, a voltage drop across the resistor 4 in this case will increase, causing a compensating decrease in the voltage V supplied to the gate of MOSFET 1. As a result, the voltage V will be balanced at a prescribed value irrespective of changes in the power supply voltage. In this case, if the MOSFET 3 is manufactured in the same MOSIC under the same conditions as the MOSFET 1, the compensation circuitry will compensate for differences in the electrical characteristics among the MOSICS.
In a still further embodiment of the invention, depicted in FIG. 3, in contrast to the enhancement type MOSFET 3 shown in FIG. 2, described above, the MOSFET 3 in this case is a depletion type MOSFET and has its gate electrode connected to ground, rather than to the power supply voltage VGG. This arrangement will compensate for changes in the electrical characteristics of the circuit in response to changes in the ambient temperature. This compensation arrangement will also compensate for differences in the electrical characteristics among a plurality of MOSICS when MOSFET 3 is manufactured under the same conditions as MOSFET 1 in the same MOSIC.
According to this arrangement, moreover, the resistor 4 should have a temperature coefficient much smaller than those of MOSFETS 1 and 3 and, for the resistance 4, a resistor of a high, constant or linear resistance value, manufactured separately from the MOSIC, may be employed.
With respect to the above described circuits shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, as was described above, differences in the electrical characteristics of the various MOSICS, manufactured on a mass-produced basis, may be compensated. For example, the threshold voltage Vth of MOSFET 1 in a MOSIC is high, and the threshold voltage Vth of MOSFET 3 in the MOSIC will also be high, which means that the current flowing through MOSFET 3 is relatively small. This means that the voltage V will be increased since the voltage drop across the resistor 4 is small; as a result, a decrease in the current flowing through the MOSFET 1, due to a high Vth of the MOSFET will be compensated by an increase in the bias voltage V.
Furthermore, since the electrical characteristics of MOSIC circuits will be compensated, as described above, the above compensating circuits may be employed in pulse generator to provide a stable oscillating frequency of the same. Moreover, since the differences in the electrical characteristics for a plurality of MOSICS, produced in a mass-production basis, will be compensated by the above described compensating circuitry, when the compensating circuit is embodied in a pulse generator MOSIC, the oscillating periods of the same will vary only in a small range, so that substantially uniform pulse generator MOSIC circuitry can be mass-produced.
In accordance with modifications of the invention, the gate of the MOSFET 3 may be connected between the junction of resistor 4 and its connection with the MOSFET 1, as shown in FIG. 4.
Similarly, when the MOSFET 1 is of depletion type, a pair of MOSFETs may be employed in the compensation circuit. Namely, as is shown in FIG. 5, an enhancement type MOSFET 5 is connected in back-to-back parallel relationship with depletion type MOSFET 6. The gate electrode of MOSFET 6 is connected to ground, while the gate electrode of MOSFET 5 is connected to power supply voltage VGG.
Shown in FIG. 6 is the use of compensating circuitry of the present invention in a practical embodiment of a pulse generator circuit, of the type, as described above, which may be employed in small-sized electronic calculators. Outlined in the broken-lined portions are the pulse generator circuit 22 and the compensating circuit 23 connected thereto.
In the pulse generator circuit, proper, are a plurality of p-channel enhancement type insulated gate field effect transistors 11, 13 and 15. In the compensating circuit 23, connected thereto, in a p-channel enhancement type insulated gate field effect transistor 19, connected in back-to-back relationship with depletion type MOSFET 20. Connected between the power supply voltage VGG and the pair of transistors of the compensating circuit is a high value resistance 21, which may have a value of 50 K Ω.
Connected between the respective transistors 11-13 and 13-15 and ground are capacitors 17 and 18 which may have a value of 0.1 to 10pF, for example. MOSFETs 12, 14 and 16 constitute load transistors for the respective MOSFETs 11, 13 and 15 and have their gates connected in common to the junction between resistor 21 and MOSFET pair 19-20.
All of the MOSFETs shown in FIG. 6 may be formed in the same semiconductor chip of monocrystalline silicon, while resistor 21 and capacitors 17 and 18 may be connected externally with respect to the MOSIC.
Input-output connections of the respective inverters 11-12, 13-14 and 15-16 are connected in cascade to form a closed loop. The source electrodes of MOSFETs 19, 20, 11, 13 and 15 are connected to ground, as are capacitors 17 and 18, with the gate of transistor 20 also being connected to ground, while the gate of transistor 19 is connected to source VGG, as are the drain electrodes of transistors 12, 14 and 16. The output of the pulse generator circuit is taken from the drain of transistor 15.
With attention now directed to FIG. 7, the operation of the circuit of FIG. 6 will be explained.
It is assumed, for explanatory purposes, that during period of time t1, MOSFET 15 is conductive, with a voltage having a lower absolute value than the threshold level of MOSFET 11 appearing at junction c, which is connected to the output terminal O. At this time, MOSFET 13 is cut-off, with capacitor 18 being charged by current flowing through the MOSFET 14. During the same period of time t1, capacitor 17 begins charging, since MOSFET 11 is cut-off.
In this condition, when the output a of the first inverter circuit attains a larger absolute value than the threshold level of the MOSFET 13, during period of time t2 as shown in FIG. 7a, MOSFET 13 starts conducting. Then, the charge which is stored in capacitor 18 is discharged through MOSFET 13.
Subsequently, when the output b of the inverter circuit 13-14 reaches a smaller absolute value than of the threshold level of MOSFET 15, during period of time t3 as shown in FIG. 7b, MOSFET 15 becomes non-conductive or cut-off. The voltage change at the output of the inverter pair 15-16 or at the output terminal O (c) is rapid at this time, since the output of MOSFET 15 is not connected to a large valued capacitor. As a result, the output c of MOSFET 15 attains a larger absolute value than the threshold level of MOSFET 11, during period of time t4, as shown in FIG. 7c, so that MOSFET 11 conducts.
Now, when the output of a MOSFET 11 becomes a smaller than the threshold level of MOSFET 13, during period of time t5, MOSFET 13 is cut-off, while MOSFET 15 is unaffected. When the output b of MOSFET 13 becomes larger than a threshold voltage of MOSFET 15, during period of time t6, MOSFET 15 becomes conductive, so that the output c immediately changes its state to ground level. When the output c of MOSFET 15 becomes smaller than the threshold level of MOSFET 11, during period of time t7, MOSFET 11 is cut-off and the voltage output a gradually increases. Subsequently, the same operations as described above are repeated for the operation of the pulse generator 22.
As a result, the output of the pulse generator at terminal O will have the waveform shown in FIG. 7c.
However, as was mentioned previously, the oscillating period of the pulse generator circuit 22 suffers from changes in the ambient temperature and power supply voltage. Moreover, MOSICs which are manufactured to include such a pulse generator circuit will have different oscillating periods due to differences in the circuit constants of the respective MOSFETs making up to MOSICs. In order to overcome these deficiencies, a compensating circuit 23 is provided, as described previously. Since MOSFET 20, connected in back-to-back parallel relationship with the MOSFET 19 is manufactured in accordance with the same conditions as MOSFETs 12, 14 and 16, MOSFET 20 will have the same threshold voltage Vth as these MOSFETs.
Now, considering the compensating effect of compensation circuit 23, when the ambient temperature of the pulse generator circuit 22 increases, the current which flows through MOSFETs 12 and 14 will decrease, resulting in an increase in the time which is required to charge capacitors 17 and 18. As a result, the duty ratio or the period of the pulse generator will increase, unless something is done to compensate for this condition.
In accordance with the present invention, however, because of the compensation circuit 23, the current flowing through the MOSFETs 19 and 20 will also decrease when the ambient temperature increases. Then, since the voltage drop across the resistor 21 decreases, the gate voltage which is applied to the gates of MOSFETs 12 and 14 will increase, so as to increase the current flowing therethrough. As a result, what would be a decrease in the duty ratio or the oscillating period is compensated.
Similarly, for a change in the power supply voltage VGG, when the same increases, there will be an increase in the current flowing through the respective MOSFETs 12 and 14. However, this increase is compensated by an increase in the voltage drop across the resistor 21, since the current flowing through the MOSFET 19 will also be increased. As a result, compensation for changes in the supply voltage are effected.
It can be seen, therefore, that applicants' invention provides compensation for changes in ambient temperature, supply voltage and differences in the electrical characteristics of respective MOSFETs making up differently manufactured MOSICs under the same operating conditions, since the MOSFETs of the compensating circuit are manufactured in accordance with the same production conditions as the MOSFETs making up the pulse generator circuit.
While we have shown and described several embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is understood that the same is not limited thereto but is susceptible of numerous changes and modifications as known to a person skilled in the art, and We therefore do not wish to be limited to the details shown and described herein but intend to cover all such changes and modifications as are obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.

WASHINGTON — Eating natto, a fermented food made from boiled soybeans, may be effective in reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease and various other diseases, according to a research article in a publication put out by the American Chemical Society, Washington.
The article "Amyloid-Degrading Ability of Nattokinase from Bacillus subtilis Natto" appeared in the Jan. 28 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Researchers from National Taiwan University in Taipei experimented to see whether nattokinase, an enzyme secreted by B. subtilis natto, may degrade amyloids that are related to various diseases. Results suggested nattokinase has amyloid-degrading ability.
"The discovery of an enzyme which can be safely taken orally and can degrade amyloid fibrils could be very useful in the therapy of amyloid-related diseases," the researchers said. "Nattokinase not only dissolved blood clots but also degraded amyloid fibrils. Our amyloid-degrading studies demonstrated that it is active at neutral pH and body temperature."
Researchers said further animal studies are needed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of nattokinase.
