I bet there are already plenty of tips on this topic, but I find it so important that I have decided to start my Sofia page from it.
In Bulgaria, like in Macedonia and Albania (I have read this), the head gestures to say "yes" and "no" are inverted in comparison with the rest of European countries.
When Bulgarians shake their heads, they mean "yes", and after spending three weeks here, I still haven't got used to it. When I ask for something and I see people shaking their heads, I still connect it to "no".
You'd better avoid answering to yes/no questions with your head only, since the other person may understand the contrary of what you wanted to say. Just answer verbally with "da" ("yes") or "ne" ("no").
Bulgarians seem to take some local pleasure in confusing non-Bulgarians with their take on the head-nod. Nodding from side to side, where in many places signifies "no" or something in the negative, means "yes" to Bulgarians. So, when the server at the restaurant asks you if you want more coffee at the breakfast table, a side to side will get you more. The up and down nod will signify no.
Unlike most countries, in Bulgaria, when you want to answer with a 'yes', shake your head back and forth. To answer with a 'no', nod your head up and down. This will spare you a lot of confusion and embarrassing misunderstandings.
We have smth called 'double positive negation' and 'double negative affirmation': "da, da!" (yes, yes) means actually "no", "I don't believe you" or "that would never happen".
This is usually followed w/ "Ne, ne" (no, no) which means in this context "yes", "this is true!", or "yes, it will happen"
Don't ask why. I have no idea.The trick is in the intonation and facial expression. Ask your host for visual help. ;-)
We move heads sideways (ear to shoulder) to indicate 'yes' and nod to say 'no' . Our nod, however, is more like raising the chin up instead of lowering it down.
To avoid confusion you may just want to say YES and NO ... and try not to move your head too much! ;-)
I almost died of laughter when I read somewhere of a cultural tip that said not to put your bag on the floor, because people will stare at you and because it's considered bad luck! People in Bulgaria have a highly developed sense of maintaining good personal hygiene and the only reason you may get a bad look for putting your bag on the floor is because common sense says that it's dirty! Most people are probably aware of the 'yes', 'no' nodding routine, but I will just put it in anyway. Bulgaria is probably the only country in the world (can't say for sure, though), where people shake their head sideways when they mean 'yes' and shake it up and down when they mean 'no'. That doesn't seem too hard to learn, but what adds confusion is all the Bulgarians who try to be nice and shake their head the 'Western' way and unless you're local, it becomes hard to communicate this way, so better learn that 'da' in Bulgarian means 'yes' and 'ne' means 'no'.
There are no serious cultural taboos that will get a westerner in trouble. Quite the reverse, you might be offended at the brusqeness and lack of respect for personal space that are the legacies of dehumanizing collectivist communism. It's getting better, though.
Be aware that Bulgarians nod for no and shake their heads for yes. This can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings on both sides. Always try to say 'da' for yes and 'ne' for no. Gestures will just confuse everything, especially when beggars ask you for money and you shake your head.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) - The 21Alive/Parkview Sports Medicine Scholar Athlete of the Week for Sept. 4 is Carroll High School senior Josh Jovevski.
Jovevski plays on the Charger soccer team, and is also on the finance committee of the interact club.
Jovevski maintains a grade point average just over a 12.0, and he ranks third in the Carroll senior class.
He says he gets his inspiration to work hard from his 16-year-old sister, Emily, a sophomore at Carroll, who is battling cancer.
"Going through all the radiation and chemo, that's just grueling," Jovevski says. "That just makes me see how that's all part of something bigger. You go to work every day, and school, and focus on what's at hand. I just try and do everything for her out here. If she can go through that, then I can go through this pretty well."
Jovevski is undecided on college plans, but is interested in Purdue University. He plans to study pharmacy.

Reassign an Item
There are several ways to assign an item to another person or to a virtual location such as File.
- From within the open item: click the Assignments tab
- From the Tasklist: find the item to be reassigned, click on Actions + and select Reassign
- From within the opened Cycle that contains the item: click Reassign next to that specific item
As a result, the Reassign page will display, either directly if the tab was clicked, or in a separate window.
Note: You cannot assign a Funding Action or any type of Admin Action to "File" if it has a status of "In OSP."
Make the Reassignment
- Under Reassign, use the Assign To drop-down menu to select the desired individual or location
- Optionally, you can enter a comment in the OSP note field
- To complete the process, click Assign
If the Reassign page had opened in a separate window, it will automatically close when you click the Assign button.
Note: You also have the option to reassign an item when you add or modify a Hold, or change its status (Deny, Mark as Duplicate, Approve, etc.).
When an item being reassigned is within a cycle, any other Related Cycle Items can be reassigned at the same time. This feature is generally not used and will be removed in the future.
View Assignment History
You can also see the item's Assignment History from the Reassign page. The history shows prior assignments and indicates the date and time, who made the change, the new assignment, and any added notes.
- On the Reassign page, scroll down to the Assignment History section, and click Show Assignment History to expand the section
The information displayed includes
- Date Assigned is the date of the change.
- Assigned By is the person who made the change.
- Assigned To is the person or location the item was assigned to.
- OSP Note Text displays any notes entered with the reassignment; this will be a system-generated comment for default, or initial, assignments.

No problem for off-topic.. but my Russian is not so good ;-) But Google translate helped me out! It was a very weird but interesting trip.
Once I learned the Russian language of coercion. My country has lived through communism. With the opposition regained independence. Poland is quite a different country. North Korea, however, is more damaged. There is a more totalitarian system. You can not compare this country to the former Soviet satellites in Europe.
Korzeń,I agree with you, socialist Poland can't be compared to the North Korea, these are enough different things. The common at you, I guess,is one – you never lived at communism. Nobody for the present didn't live at the communism, any country in the world.

Product promotions continue to eat into Clorox's (NYSE: CLX ) sales growth. Judging by the company's share-price action, Wall Street's dismayed by this stain on Clorox's numbers.
Fiscal 2010 third-quarter sales at the consumer-staples company advanced a mere 1% year over year, to $1.37 billion. That's a real letdown compared to the previous quarter, when the maker of Kingsford charcoal and Glad bags posted 5% sales growth. Moreover, the year-ago Q3 period offered a much easier comparison than the year-ago Q2, making this most recent performance particularly disappointing.
Product promotions, in the form of retailer incentives and rebates, reduced sales by two percentage points. Also, hyperinflation in Venezuela -- which has affected finances at a range of companies, including Halliburton, Unisys, and direct competitors Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) and Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL ) , lopped off a similar amount.
Little surprise, then, that volume growth of 3% outpaced sales growth, in contrast to lockstep increases in these metrics in the previous quarter.
Yet there are two pieces of good news. First, U.S. market share through the 52 weeks ended in February was up slightly versus the prior period. So the company's holding its own vis-a-vis competitors. Second, and more importantly, earnings per share increased 7%, to $1.16.
On the other hand, the bottom-line growth, while certainly helped by the small sales gain, largely owed to lower interest expenses and the absence of year-ago restructuring costs. Even when we do factor in the $0.07-per-share loss from the Venezuelan situation, I can't call this a high-quality earnings performance.
In fairness, working capital substantially increased, reducing cash flow. Furthermore, the company's expansion of accounts receivable probably won't persist in future quarters. Clorox also sports a mildly encouraging outcome, with expected fiscal 2011 EPS growth of roughly 8%, at the midpoint of guidance. That's not too shabby.
Commodity prices are a wild card, though. Right now, management expects that fiscal 2011 cost cuts will exceed the impact of raw-materials inflation, but I wouldn't put 100% faith in that forecast. As a portfolio offset, I recommend that investors with significant exposure to Clorox -- or any other consumer-packaged goods company, for that matter -- also hold shares of commodity names.
On that note, long-term, aggressive-minded investors might consider Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC ) or BP (NYSE: BP ) , whose shares are down significantly in connection with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill sell-off.
Ultimately, my prior view that a low relative valuation gives Clorox shares room to run in a stronger economy may have been optimistic. When it comes to household goods, consumers simply aren't returning to brands to the degree that many had hoped.
Nonetheless, put a 15 price-to-earnings multiple on the midpoint of management's fiscal 2011 forecast, and you've got a $68-plus stock. For a margin of safety, I'd want to buy in the high $50s.

Rides at a theme park don't last forever, no matter how much we like them, and neither can your vacation. Eventually, all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, returning to work afterward may feel a bit like getting off that roller coaster — dizziness, inability to focus, and the hint of a stomachache may all occur on The First Day Back.
The beauty of returning from vacation, however, is that it's a chance for a fresh start. Instead of dreading your post-vacation inbox and to-do lists, here are some tips to help you seize this opportunity to reset your job and take your productivity to a new level:
- Tackle the Inbox. Whether you come home to dozens or hundreds, you are bound to be behind. Commit your first day to blitzing through your emails. Be ruthless when it comes to filing and clicking items into the trash. This is not the time to read that supposedly hilarious forward from your cousin — trash it or stick it in a "read when bored" folder. Stay on task and keep moving, giving tidy, professional responses to emails when necessary or adding items to your to-do list as needed.
To-Do List Dos and Don'ts
- Don't write long explanations for tasks. This is a quick list, not an entire book.
- Do be clear. If you won't remember what "corner graphic" is about when working down your list, elaborate enough so that you will.
- Don't put anything on the list that you're capable of accomplishing in the next three minutes, because if it's that easy, you should just stop and do it now.
- Do prioritize clearly. Rating tasks on a scale of 1 to 4 sometimes works –- with the 4s being your urgent tasks and the 1s being the tasks that can handle the back burner.
- Do consider trying an online task program like Remember the Milk or HiTask, if you haven't already –- you might find they beat the old pen and paper hands down.
- Assess Your Priorities. Now that you have caught up on anything work-related that transpired while you were away, it's time to figure out where you're at currently. What projects are due? What questions do you have? Add these to your to-do list, but begin to shuffle things around to reflect the urgency and importance of what needs to be done now.
- Identify Your Cringe-Triggers. When you look at your newly organized to-do list, which items make you wish you were still on vacation? Take some time to think about why you don't like these tasks and whether or not it's necessary for you to do them anymore. Can they be delegated, eliminated, or can you simply say no? Seriously consider the power you have to create love for your job by just eliminating the parts you hate.
- Proactively Seek Change. Don't allow yourself to slip into the patterns of procrastination that may have bogged you down pre-vacation. Now is the time for a much-needed reset, so put these changes as high on your to-do list as you can. If it means talking with your boss about shifting certain tasks to another employee, set the date for that talk now — not later.
- Embrace Your Work. Maybe pre-vacation you felt the burnout of the daily grind. Hopefully time away reset your motivation levels, but if you're still lacking enthusiasm it's time to wrap your arms around those feelings. Try to remember what drew you to your job to begin with (even if it's as basic as the money on payday). Set this motivation in front of you, on your computer wallpaper, or as a sticky note on your desk. Practice gratefulness for your job, your coworkers and your life, for whatever reasons you can.
We've all felt that tension of The First Day Back. Turn yours into an amazing fresh start and reset your job to kickstart a new work life.

Casino operator Crown has made no changes to its executive pay policy despite the threat of a board spill in the event of another shareholder backlash.
Four of the company's six senior executives received a bigger pay package in the 2011/12 financial year, and all base salaries rose or remained the same as in 2010/11.
Crown's executive pay report for the 2010/11 financial year received a 55 per cent No vote from Crown shareholders, and a No vote of at least 25 per cent against the 2011/12 report would result in the majority of board positions being vacated and put up for re-election.
But Crown said in its 2011/12 annual report, released today, it had made no change to its pay policy and had instead focused on providing a clearer explanation of its pay structure.
"The Crown board remains confident that Crown's remuneration policy and the level and structure of its executive remuneration are suitable for the company and its shareholders," it said in the report.
Chief executive Rowen Craigie was paid $6.875 million in the 2011/12 financial year, including a bonus of $800,000, up from $600,000 in the previous year.
Mr Craigie's remuneration totalled $7.7 million in 2010/11, due to the inclusion of a $1 million benefit from the revaluation of share-based long-term incentives.
His base salary remained stable at $2.98 million in 2011/12.
Executive deputy chairman John Alexander's total remuneration also remained steady, at $1.5 million.
Chief financial officer Ken Barton, Crown Perth chief executive Barry Felstead, Crown Melbourne deputy chief executive Greg Hawkins and executive vice president of strategy Todd Nisbet all received an increase in salary and total pay in 2011/12.
Executive chairman James Packer receives no remuneration or bonuses from Crown.
In the event of a board spill, Mr Packer could use his major stake in the company to effectively ensure the re-election of those board members forced to vacate their positions.
Crown shareholders will vote on the report at the company's annual general meeting on October 30.
Crown closed up 11 cents, or 1.2 per cent, at $9.10.

Skip to comments.China seeking to cut off iPad supply
Posted on 02/14/2012 8:14:48 AM PST by Astronaut
Earlier this week, we noted that Chinese authorities had begun seizing iPad stocks from a small number of retailers over Apple's alleged infringement of a disputed "iPad" trademark. Apple claims that it purchased the Chinese rights to the trademark several years ago, but the original owner Proview and Chinese courts have disagreed with that assertion.
Bloomberg now notes that Proview is seeking to go beyond local enforcement and is asking Chinese customs officials to block both imports and exports of the iPad over the issue. With iPad production taking place in China, a successful bid by Proview could cut off Apple's supplies of the device throughout the world. We are applying to customs to stop any trademark- infringing products from imports to China and also for exports, said [Proview lawyer Roger] Xie, who is based in Shenzhen. Apple wants to postpone and continue infringement of the iPad in China. Calling a potential export ban "catastrophic" for Apple, one Chinese legal expert notes that pressure on Apple to settle the case has dramatically increased. A halt to exports from China would be catastrophic for Apple because it would mean a global halt to iPad sales, said Stan Abrams, an intellectual property lawyer and a law professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing. The threat of an export ban increases the pressure on Apple to settle the case, he said.
Theres got to be a settlement, and fairly soon, Abrams said. I cant see how much more incentivized to settle Apple could be. Apple continues to maintain that it acquired "worldwide" rights to the iPad in ten countries, including China, as part of an earlier deal. Apple's case is still pending with Chinese courts as it seeks to appeal earlier rulings.
After the bribes are paid,the slave labor factories will
back in business.
The worm has turned............
Apple is widely rumored to announce the new iPad 3 the first week in March. They usually start online pre-sales shortly thereafter.
Move production back to a Southern State... Texas would be a great place.
Move production back to a Southern State... Texas would be a great place.
Ain't outsourcing grand?
This should serve as a warning sign to Treasury Secretary Geithner for what will happen to our trillion dollar deficit if the Chinese decide to cut off our whole country.
You might have been serious but that is funny. The Chinese economy would collapse, we would have to start making stuff here again, unemployeement would go down, and if China starting getting froggy we could just nationalize all of our debts towards them. You really think China is holding anything over our heads?
Do I think China would cut us off entirely? No. But I have no doubt that China would be more than willing to give the world currency markets a good thump to get their way on import quotas, tariffs, intellectual property rulings, interest rates or just making sure the Seventh Fleet is looking the other way when it comes time to invade Taiwan.
My gut feeling is that Apple ends up settling this "trademark dispute" for a very significant chunk of their cash on hand. If Apple is as smart as I think they are, they start looking to build factories elsewhere.
Apple makes the A5 cpu for the iPad in Austin, Texas. I saw the plant last week. Austin would be a great place to expand the number of iPad components made in the USA.
Dont give Al Sharpton any ideas.
I agree.
The "Chinese Tariff"....
Ask Whitney Houston what crack does.... Now look at those numbed out idiots whose iPad is their crack. Just nuke all that stuff and take us back to an America of full employment, no trade deficits and humming factories. Go back 25-30 years and nuke all these masturbatory electronic devices as a trade. I would go for it in a split second
Is it too early for me to detect the sarcasm, or do you really want to go back to a pre-internet, and pre-Free Republic, society?
I agree. It looks like a major supply chain management oops. An iPad is basically 10 electronic sub assemblies plugged together and stacked in a case. Everything that supports its production - silicon and PC board fab, assembly and test are commodity resources available everywhere. It's not like they have millions of dollars tied up in one-off precision tooling.
Hind sight is always 20/10, but it would have been wise to be prepared to turn on production in another location in a heartbeat.
Of course I would go back 30-40- years ...America was much better back then in a thousand ways. America was much better put together. America was more functional and producing with less emphasis on consumption.

How does it feel to have all your eggs in the ChiCom basket, Apple?
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
Apple is making iPads and iPhones in Brazil as well.
Why? They own the worldwide rights to the name, purchased from the company's owner. At worst they change the name of the iPad in China... or don't sell them there under that name.
No, they are not. Show me another manufacturer making iPads... Apple subsidized the building of the factories
Another good reason to pull production back to the US.
"masturbatory electronic devices"
In public too! Have they no shame?
I don't understand your comment. Apple chose a single source so by definition, there is only one manufacturer.
My point is that the process is highly transportable unlike a precision mechanical assembly where you can have very long lead time items like complicated robotic assembly lines, and manufacturing processes that require significant knowledge transfer when they move.
Pretty much every contract electronics manufacturer in the world is already set up to stack a bunch of parts into a case and to an end of line test. The Tooling (bills of material, PCB artwork etc) can be transferred in an email. The gating item in setting up another source for iPads would probably be component lead times.
When Apple switched screen materials for the iPhone, Foxconn roused 8,000 workers in the middle of the night, fed them biscuits and tea, and led them to the assembly line to make the last-minute change while maintaining a target delivery date.
Do you really think unionized US labor could pull this off?
There is the problem of all those CNC milling machines for the aluminum cases. Not many electronics manufacturers have those set up for production. I believe Apple's parts makers such as Foxconn are the only ones using it on such a large scale. And with Apple's investment they bought up much of the world production of such machines for a while, so it would be hard for anyone else to get up to speed very quickly.
This is just one little company being greedy and stupid. China loves Apple manufacturing there and would not want to lose it.
Micron makes various sorts of memory in Manassas, Virginia ... if Apple's overseas suppliers get froggy, there ARE alternatives.
When Apple made things in America, were their factories unionized? I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.
things have changed today a lot of people have been out of work and I for one would be happy to pull that off!
Stalin Wasn't Stallin'
And of course you'll get off of your computer too...
And how many nukes did we have in 1946? Did we even have one? That was a very deep, dark secret.
That's a very good question! I remember reading that we used up all our fissile material for the test bomb and the two we dropped on Japan, and it was a big secret that we didn't have another bomb in 1945 despite threatening the Japanese with further bombings. As for 1946?
You should go for Castor Oil instead as you are full of it.. You have an unhealthy abhorrence of anything Apple.
Much of the world's supply of many things comes from China. The problem is here, not there. Were we to modernize our tax code and government regulations while defanging unions the manufacturing would return on its own.
Despite what the Occupy groups say, most entrepreneurs aren't stupid and greedy. What/where did your group occupy?
Not a problem throw all the PCs and laptops in the ocean this would not bother me. Life in America was much better before we had them. Ronald Reagan 1980-1988..... Few people has PCs back then. No internet. No effin cell phones to chat away all day on. No DVDs and we got along just fine...much better than today.

Progress Energy Florida made headway Tuesday in convincing state regulators that their energy efficiency goals for the utility giant might be too ambitious — and expensive — for its Florida customers.
Progress Energy Florida made headway Tuesday in convincing state regulators that their energy efficiency goals for the utility giant might be too ambitious — and expensive — for its Florida customers.
The Public Service Commission told Progress to return within 30 days with a plan that would meet the commission's original energy goals — and also a second plan in which the energy goals would be cut by about 50 percent.
The PSC will consider both plans and choose one or order a combination of the two.
The PSC's Tuesday decision came after months of Progress Energy lamenting that the commission's energy savings mandates would be financially onerous and inefficient for customers.
"We do not believe our goal [mandated by the PSC] is realistic," said John Burnett, a Progress Energy lawyer at Tuesday's hearing in Tallahassee.
The PSC last year set an energy savings goal for the company of 3,205 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) over the next 10 years — a greater increase than what the agency was asking of any other Florida utility, and 700 percent more than the utility's current goal.
To meet this 10-year goal, Progress estimated it would have to raise its energy efficiency costs to an average of $17 per month for its customers over the next decade. They currently pay, on average, $3.24 a month. Overall, the utility estimates it would spend $5.2 billion to meet the 10-year mandate.
Progress Energy has about 1.6 million customers throughout Florida and 65,000 in Marion County.
Progress Energy's proposed energy efficiency programs include customer education efforts, rebates and incentives for customers who improve the ways they use energy in their homes and businesses. The program also includes helping customers pay for new, energy-efficient devices like pool pumps, better air conditioning units, window treatments and free air filters.
Progress Energy originally proposed a 50 percent increase in energy savings, but the PSC nixed that request. Later, Progress Energy asked if it could gradually increase its energy efficiency goals and then either meet or surpass the PSC goals after 2015. But that plan was also denied Tuesday.
Instead, the PSC directed its staff to meet with Progress Energy and discuss both goals — the PSC's original goal and why Progress doesn't think it could meet it, and the alternative goal in which energy saving goals were cut about 50 percent.
Burnett said if the goal was cut by 50 percent, "we'll bring you a plan we think we can meet."
That alternative plan is also likely to reduce costs to Progress Energy customers, said Progress spokesman Tim Leljedal.
If the original PSC goals were implemented, Leljedal said, the cost to customers during the first year would be about $9 per month. Under the 50 percent goal, the cost would be about $4.50 per month.
"We've maintained all along that the more aggressive goal mandated by the PSC would result in a significant price impact," Leljedal said. "We appreciate the opportunity to continue discussions to hopefully arrive at goals that can be achieved in a manner that's cost effective to the more than 1.6 million Florida customers we serve."
The PSC's more ambitious energy savings goals for Progress would be enough to supply power for 225,000 customers for a year, Leljedal said.
PSC member Lisa Polak Edgar said the commission's goal should be to balance energy efficiency with what customers can afford. She also wanted the PSC staff to better evaluate each of Progress Energy's energy savings programs as to their cost and efficiency.
She said she wasn't convinced the commission or staff had enough information about Progress' energy efficiency plans to make a good decision.
"I'm not convinced the road we're going down will get us to the place we want to be," she said, adding later that it was better "to take a little more time to get it right."
Getting it right will be a long haul, according to George Cavros of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. He described Progress Energy's plans to save energy as a "train wreck" for customers. Cavros said the utility inflated the estimated cost of the energy efficiency programs it wants to offer customers.
He recommended that when Progress Energy return with its goals reports, the study should include comparing Progress Energy's cost estimates to those of their peers. He said Progress' current proposals were "poorly designed."
PSC member Nancy Argenziano agreed that Progress should return with comparisons to what other utilities through the country are charging for energy efficiencies.
The PSC also agreed during the meeting to allow pilot solar power programs to count toward meeting energy efficiency goals, and that instead of looking only at utilities' annual energy savings, their cumulative savings should also be reviewed.
PSC spokesman Todd Brown said the commission's decision to ask that Progress study a 50 percent option shouldn't be considered a change in course. He noted that during the meeting "there were a lot of numbers being thrown around," and that the 50 percent issue "provided some options to look at."

New international trailer asks Joel Kinnaman's Robocop to fight emotions and bad guys
It is a slightly different look at the movie than we've seen before
This morning we have a new international trailer for the upcoming remake, "Robocop." The film, which is being distributed by Columbia Pictures here in the States, arrives all over the world early next year.
This new look at the movie offers up, perhaps, a far more dramatic feel than some of the action-oriented takes we have seen so far. It also eschews some of the corporate greed storyline we have seen before. That element isn't gone completely, but it certainly takes a backseat to issues of how Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) deals with his newfound robotic prowess and questions surrounding his family.
Also not completely gone from the trailer is the notion that this is in fact an action movie. Click that play button and you'll get to see things blown up and guns get fired and Robocop battle robot, which is exactly what most people would expect when the head to the theaters to see the movie.
For those curious, the synopsis of the film is as follows: "In 'RoboCop,' the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years - and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit - is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice."
The new movie is directed by José Padilha and starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L Jackson, and Abbie Cornish.
"Robocop" is gunning for a February 12, 2014 release date, are you excited for the sequel?

Set in the heart of the beautiful and unspoilt Eden Valley, this 19th century farmhouse has been refurbished to create an outstanding holiday home just a mile from the pretty fellside village of Dufton. It has an interesting mix of original features including flagged floors and a wealth of beams combined with modern, contemporary fittings and furniture. It enjoys wonderful, panoramic views of the Eden Valley out towards the Lakeland Fells and are surrounded by superb walking on the Pennine Way. Dufton village and a vast area to the north are in the north Pennines AONB. There is a splendid walk through the wooded valley of Dufton Ghyll, home to red squirrels, foxes and a variety of birds as well as giving the children an opportunity to fish for tiddlers. In the village, you can enjoy an excellent meal at the popular inn on the village green. For the more adventurous the Pennine Way passes through the village and Dufton is also on the National Cycle network. It is only half an hours drive to the Lake District National Park, where you can take the steamer or hire a boat on Ullswater. The Howgills and Yorkshire Dales are also within easy reach. Free livery is available on request. Fishing and golf available in the historic market town of Appleby, 2 miles. An ideal holiday base. Shop 2 miles, pub 1 mile.

The Tree that will be in Rockefeller Center later today was being cared for by Cathy and Jim Thomson and stands at a height of 100 feet (30 meters). To date, it will be the tallest tree to be adorned at an Annual Ceremony.
The following two tabs change content below.
After years of writing about the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, I have evolved into the persona of The Tree Guy and I'll be here at least once a day to update you on the never-ending search for the perfect tree.

This post refers to discussions in previous posts:
While writing a script that runs a massive amount of parametric sweeps, where each sweep run for less than 1 second, I found that the entire script runs a lot faster if I execute the netlist from the shell and run the sweep directly in spectre,
sh(sprintf(nil "spectre %s -format sst2 -raw %s > %s/spectre.out" Netlist PsfResultsDir PsfResultsDir))
The sweep is declared in a seperate netlist file, and appended to the original netlist as a stimulus,
stimulusFile(SweepNetlist ?xlate nil)
I invoke the entire parametric sweep using the following commands:
ocnResetResults() ;Create a stimulus file. SweepNetlist=strcat(makeTempFileName("/tmp/") ".scs") FH=outfile(SweepNetlist) fprintf(FH "%s" SpectreAnalysis) close(FH) stimulusFile(SweepNetlist ?xlate nil) ;Create the main netlist; Netlist=createNetlist(?display nil) NetlistDir=strcat( "/" buildString( ;parse the path, remove the filename; reverse(cdr(reverse(parseString(Netlist "/")))) "/") "/") PsfResultsDir = sprintf(nil "%s/../psf/" NetlistDir) ;Wipe the psf results. if(isDir(PsfResultsDir) sh(sprintf(nil "rm %s/*" PsfResultsDir))) ;Run the simulation in shell. sh(sprintf(nil "spectre %s -format sst2 -raw %s > %s/spectre.out" Netlist PsfResultsDir PsfResultsDir)) ;Read the results. openResults(sprintf(nil "%s" PsfResultsDir))
and I declare the spectre sweep in a string variable:
SpectreAnalysis = "sweep sweep param=Vi_cm start=0 stop=1.9 step=0.1 {\n\ dc dc oppoint=rawfile \n\ stb stb prevoppoint=yes start=1 stop=1G probe=V5 \n\ }"
Any comments?
I agree, it does. The difference between ADE's parametric analysis and the internal sweep is not quite so significant in most cases, but it will be quicker to use the built-in sweep. In fact if you use the "paramset" capability in ADE's parametric analysis, it already uses the built-in sweep. Also the sweeps on the RF analyses also use this.
The parametric analysis approach does however have the ability to allow simulations to be run in parallel when using distributed processing - so for longer simulations, that can win over running sequentially.
There's a place for both approaches.
Ideally I'd love to have the choice of using spectre's native sweep - and also for OCEAN to be less verbose to speed up performance.
BTW, rather than using > %s/spectre.out in your command, use =log %s/spectre.out (the =log will suppress any output to the "screen", but still write the log file.
If using IC615 onwards, I'd also suggest using -format psfxl instead of sst2 (but also ensure you've done:
envSetVal("spectre.outputs" "simOutputFormat" 'string "psfxl")
at the beginning of your OCEAN script (this can affect the format used for any save statements in your input.scs produced during netlisting, plus some of the mapping info, particularly related to currents because sst2 uses a different delimiter to other formats).
