In Taiwan of the 1960s, the influential art forms arriving from the West were predominantly abstract and conceptual art. It was not until the 1990s that Western Dadaism and Warholian pop art began to have a significant impact. After the end of martial law in 1987, the pace of democratization in Taiwanese society quickened, and social attitudes gradually opened up. This was reflected in art with a broadening of thought and diversification of creative elements and subject matter. In "postmodern" society with its commercialization and mass reproduction of images, "classic works" and literary narratives became disengaged from their cultural contexts, losing their functions as palace decorations and sources of enlightenment. No longer was art the symbolically expressive, elite works of the traditional humanities. It had moved from the refined, gentrified classes of the past to the popular culture of today.
For the contemporary age, these classic works present richly beautiful, powerful images and a sense of mystery engendered by distance in time. Yet unlike dynastic-era artists whose imitations were based on the foundation of "reverence for antiquity," these famous works, after having undergone mass reproduction, ceased being rarely glimpsed works of the imperial court and became "images" that anyone could behold or obtain at a moment's notice. They had even lost the textures and brushstrokes of the original, existing in a "flattened" state. Ruminating on local history, cultural values and identity, Taiwanese contemporary artists made use of those artworks that once adorned imperial power and symbolized the tastes of the literati class, engaging in a dialogue with their own history and culture, disassembling, reassembling, re-creating and altering the styles and subject matter of classic works through symbolic or allegorical images in order to enunciate their views on the present-day state of affairs through simile or metaphor. These include: consideration and breakthroughs in aesthetics and forms of expression; criticism of the current state of Taiwanese society, history and culture; voicing of their own inner ideal worlds and feelings about life; and the transformation of the artistic tastes of the past to a popular, commercial aesthetic more closely oriented toward everyday life. At the same time, as contemporary artists re-examine and re-create classic works of the past, they also re-accentuate and rediscover the artistic accomplishments of the past in light of new definitions and the perspective of art history. As artists refabricate the past, amid this convergence of dual-directional observation, discovery, transformation and original creation, they yield a wealth of meaning and limitless possibilities of expression in the contemporary era.

When combining seafood and citrus, you're limited only by your imagination. We've all seen the ubiquitous lemon wedge perched on the rim of a shrimp cocktail glass. But why not go further?
Oranges, mandarins, and tangerines impart a hint of sweetness to entrées, while tart grapefruit add a sophisticated edge. For an exotic twist, try a bright orange rangpur lime (a lemon-mandarin hybrid).
Feeling juiced? We have still more ideas. Kumquats aren't technically citrus―botanists have given them their own classification―but their sweet orange rinds and tangy pulp have the same zesty flavor. Also, heirloom pomelos, big forerunners to modern grapefruit, are making a comeback at farmers' markets in citrus-growing regions.
Citrus tastes good with seafood because its acid cuts through fish oil. Use the juice and pulp in sauces to complement any of your favorite dishes. The strong, uncompromising taste of lemons and limes works well with the oiliest fish―salmon, halibut, tuna, and mahimahi. More delicate oranges pair with the subtle shellfish flavors of scallops, shrimp, and mussels. But don't be afraid to create your own combinations. Even tender white fish such as sole can stand up to grapefruit or lime sauces, and salmon is fabulous with kumquats.
One easy way to add zesty citrus flavor to a seafood dish is to squeeze it into your pan while cooking the fish. Add a few tablespoons of fresh lemon or lime juice to a skillet with olive oil, butter, and a fresh fillet to create a quick, tasty dinner. A few paper-thin fruit slices make the perfect garnish.
The winner of the 2006 Great American Seafood Cook Off featured an amazing combination of seafood and fruit. Representing Florida, Justin Timineri wowed judges with his Seared Snapper and Passionfruit-Coconut Milk Sauce with a zesty Citrus-Fennel Salad.
Wine Pairing
A Fumé Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, or crisp Chardonnay will complement any citrus-seafood dishes (perhaps served with a tossed green salad and crusty French bread) for a light, refreshing supper.

COMPUTING ANTICIPATORY SYSTEMS: CASYS 2000 - Fourth International Conference
Anticipatory effects in relativistic electromagnetism573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388675View Description Hide Description
This paper is a continuation of our preceding paper dealing with the foundation of anticipation in electromagnetism: the distance r(t′) at time t′ from a moving charge to an observer is viewed by the observer as the anticipated distance at the future time where c is the light velocity of the propagation of the electrical potential. The anticipated distance is equal to the distance extrapolated by the velocity dr(t′)dt′ during For particle at rest or moving at small constant velocity, the anticipated distance is exactly the actual distance at time t. With acceleration and deceleration, the anticipated distance is no more equal to the actual distance: advanced or retarded distances occur depending on the trajectory properties. Numerical simulations were performed to show these anticipatory effects in the cases of different movements: at rest, at constant velocity, with acceleration and deceleration, and in oscillatory particles. In three dimensions space, the anticipated direction of the electrical field is exactly the actual direction for a particle moving at constant velocity. These anticipatory effects permit to understand the relativistic Lorentz transform in a new way.
Anticipation and meaning573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388676View Description Hide Description
"Can we truly compute, until we understand what information really is?" Gordon Scarrott. A new, mathematically described understanding of physically meaningful information, quantum holography, concerning actual knowledge of the 3 dimensional physical world in natural systems, is proposed. It is based on demonstrably proven anticipatory quantum mechanical laws and the new awareness in quantum theory. This understanding concerns a form of information, which holography shows, almost certainly existed before the origination of living systems and even from the beginning of the cosmos. It produces physically realisable mathematical definitions of the concepts of information, knowledge, learning, intelligence, perception, cognition, etc. Some of its other many advantages are cited. In particular, being quite distinct from bits, which are simply physically realisable mental models for the carriage/transmission of symbolic data (dependent for its meaning on human interpretation) it is not, its mathematical theory indicates, subject to the processing limitations of the combinatorial explosion governing algorithmic complexity, or to the known processing limitations of formal systems, such as the Halting Problem, as they are thought to apply to classical digital computing systems.
Constructional tools as the origin of cognitive capacities573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388677View Description Hide Description
It is argued that cognitive capacities can be understood as the outcome of the collective action of a set of agents created by tools that explore possible behaviors and train the agents to behave in such appropriate ways as may be discovered. The coherence of the whole system is assured by a combination of vetting the performance of new agents and dealing appropriately with any faults that the whole system may develop. This picture is shown to account for a range of cognitive capacities, including language.
From computing with numbers to computing with words—from manipulation of measurements to manipulation of perceptions573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388678View Description Hide Description
Computing, in its usual sense, is centered on manipulation of numbers and symbols. In contrast, computing with words, or CW for short, is a methodology in which the objects of computation are words and propositions drawn from a natural language, e.g., small, large, far, heavy, not very likely, the price of gas is low and declining, Berkeley is near San Francisco, it is very unlikely that there will be a significant increase in the price of oil in the near future, etc. Computing with words is inspired by the remarkable human capability to perform a wide variety of physical and mental tasks without any measurements and any computations. Familiar examples of such tasks are parking a car, driving in heavy traffic, playing golf, riding a bicycle, understanding speech and summarizing a story. Underlying this remarkable capability is the brain's crucial ability to manipulate perceptions—perceptions of distance, size, weight, color, speed, time, direction, force, number, truth, likelihood and other characteristics of physical and mental objects. Manipulation of perceptions plays a key role in human recognition, decision and execution processes. As a methodology, computing with words provides a foundation for a computational theory of perceptions—a theory which may have an important bearing on how humans make—and machines might make—perception-based rational decisions in an environment of imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth. A basic difference between perceptions and measurements is that, in general, measurements are crisp whereas perceptions are fuzzy. One of the fundamental aims of science has been and continues to be that of progressing from perceptions to measurements. Pursuit of this aim has led to brilliant successes. We have sent men to the moon; we can build computers that are capable of performing billions of computations per second; we have constructed telescopes that can explore the far reaches of the universe; and we can date the age of rocks that are millions of years old. But alongside the brilliant successes stand conspicuous underachievements and outright failures. We cannot build robots which can move with the agility of animals or humans; we cannot automate driving in heavy traffic; we cannot translate from one language to another at the level of a human interpreter; we cannot create programs which can summarize non-trivial stories; our ability to model the behavior of economic systems leaves much to be desired; and we cannot build machines that can compete with children in the performance of a wide variety of physical and cognitive tasks. It may be argued that underlying the underachivements and failures is the unavailability of a methodology for reasoning and computing with perceptions rather than measurements. An outline of such a methodology—referred to as a computational theory of perceptions—is presented in this paper. The computational theory of perceptions, or CTP for short, is based on the methodology of computing with words (CW). In CTP, words play the role of labels of perceptions and, more generally, perceptions are expressed as propositions in a natural language. CW-based techniques are employed to translate propositions expressed in a natural language into what is called the Generalized Constraint Language (GCL). In this language, the meaning of a proposition is expressed as a generalized constraint, X isr R, where X is the constrained variable, R is the constraining relation and isr is a variable copula in which r is a variable whose value defines the way in which R constrains X. Among the basic types of constraints are: possibilistic, veristic, probabilistic, random set, Pawlak singing then the emphasis is put on the action aspect, while if we want to say that the singing is loud then the emphasis is on the sound, which is treated as a thing since one hears it. The crucial point is that one seems to be forced to make such a distinction, as assists the determination of structure, but the origin of this distinction is probably related to the different ways actions and objects are represented in the brain generally. Here the relevant tool (for detecting groups) is one which takes note of which areas of the brain are active, and which in creating an agent from a group tries to respect existing patterns. The general pattern in the above has been the same as other instances that have been discussed: specific tools lead to the paradigms of activity being gradually extended. Certain characteristics of the resulting agents make this activity tend to the useful; thus the tools have a certain potential that can be fruitfully realised. As agents accumulate, the activity that they cooperate in becomes more and more complex, but the vetting of new additions to the system and of the overall activity of the system ensures that it remains useful and in control (ideally, of course; we know that in human societies, such regulatory activity does not always work very well).
Limiting velocity at the interface between causality and virtuality573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388679View Description Hide Description
We take a new look at the postulates of special relativity, at inertial reference frames, and at photons as carriers of the invariant signal velocity. We explore the interrelation between limiting velocity, causality and virtuality, and try to answer the question of whether signals can be transmitted faster than light. That is do tachyons exist. We study the implications on the existence of tachyons, of spacetime dimensionality, causality, rotational symmetry, Lorentz invariance, the principle of relativity, and the non-conservation of parity. We describe the expected characteristics and natural habitat of tachyons, and briefly discuss their possible applications in high speed computers, and in mediating the weak interactions. The preceding analysis leads us to briefly discuss fuzzy reference frames, the quantization of special relativity, the fifth state of matter and virtual mechanics.
Non-commutative geometry, the Bohm interpretation and the mind-matter relationship573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388680View Description Hide Description
It is argued that in order to address the mind/matter relationship, we will have to radically change the conceptual structure normally assumed in physics. Rather than fields and/or particles-in-interaction described in the traditional Cartesian order based a local evolution in spacetime, we need to introduce a more general notion of process described by a non-commutative algebra. This will have radical implications for both for physical processes and for geometry. By showing how the Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics can be understood within a non-commutative structure, we can give a much clearer meaning to the implicate order introduced by Bohm. It is through this implicate order that mind and matter can be seen as different aspects of the same general process.
A vacuum—generated inertia reaction force573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388681View Description Hide Description
A clear and succinct covariant approach shows that, in principle, there must be a contribution to the inertia reaction force on an accelerated object by the surrounding vacuum electromagnetic field in which the object is embedded. No details of the vacuum to object electromagnetic interaction need to be specified other than the fact that the object is made of electromagnetically interacting particles. Some interesting consequences of this feature are discussed. This analysis strongly supports the concept that inertia is indeed an opposition of the vacuum fields to any attempt to change the uniform state of motion of material bodies. This also definitely shows that inertia should be viewed as extrinsic to mass and that causing agents and/or mechanisms responsible for the inertia reaction force are neither intrinsic to the notion of mass nor to the entities responsible for the existence of mass in elementary particles (as, e.g., the Higgs field). In other words the mechanism that produces the inertia-reaction-force requires an explicit explanation. This explicit explanation is that inertia is an opposition of the vacuum fields to the accelerated motion of any material entities, i.e., of entities that possess mass. It is briefly commented why the existence of a Higgs field responsible for the generation of mass in elementary particles does not contradict the view presented here. It is also briefly discussed why a strict version of Mach's Principle does really contradict this view, though a broad sense version of Mach's Principle may be in agreement.
Quantum hologram and relativistic hodogram: Magnetic resonance tomography and gravitational wavelet detection573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388682View Description Hide Description
Quantum holography is a well established theory of mathematical physics based on harmonic analysis on the Heisenberg Lie group G. The geometric quantization is performed by projectivization of the complexified coadjoint orbit picture of the unitary dual of G in order to achieve a geometric adjustment of the quantum scenario to special relativity theory. It admits applications to various imaging modalities such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in the microwave range, and, most importantly for the field of non-invasive medical diagnosis, to the clinical imaging modality of magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) in the radio frequency range. Quantum holography explains the quantum teleportation phenomemon through Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) channels which is a consequence of the non-locality of phase coherent quantum field theory, the concept of absolute simultaneity of special relativity theory which provides the Einstein equivalence of energy and Fitzgerald-Lorentz dilated mass, and the perfect quantum holographic replication process of molecular genetic information processing. It specifically reveals what was before unobservable in quantum optics, namely the interference phenomena of matter wavelets of Bose-Einstein condensates, and what was before unobservable in special relativity, namely the light in flight (LIF) recording processing by ultrafast laser pulse trains. Finally, it provides a Lie group theoretical approach to the Kruskal coordinatized Schwarzschild manifold of relativistic cosmology with large scale applications to general relativity theory such as gravitational instanton symmetries and the theory of black holes. The direct spinorial detection of gravitational wavelets emitted by the binary radio pulsar PSR and known only by anticipatory system computation so far will also be based on the principles of quantum holography applied to very large array (VLA) radio interferometers.
The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388683View Description Hide Description
The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics [1] was originally published in 1986 and is now about 14 years old. It is an explicitly nonlocal and Lorentz invariant alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation. It interprets the formalism for a quantum interaction as describing a "handshake" between retarded waves (ψ) and advanced waves (ψ*) for each quantum event or "transaction" in which energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other conserved quantities are transferred. The transactional interpretation offers the advantages that (1) it is actually "visible" in the formalism of quantum mechanics, (2) it is economical, involving fewer independent assumptions than its rivals, (3) it is paradox-free, resolving all of the paradoxes of standard quantum theory including nonlocality and wave function collapse, (4) it does not give a privileged role to observers or measurements, and (5) it permits the visualization of quantum events. We will review the transactional interpretation and some of its applications to "quantum paradoxes."
A transactional interpretation of interaction free measurements573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388684View Description Hide Description
In 1993 Elitzur and Vaidmannl (EV) demonstrated that quantum mechanics permits the use of light quanta to examine an object without a single photon having actually interacted with the object, requiring only the possibility of such an interaction. The EV scenario has recently been carried out in the laboratory and its predictions verified. EV discussed their scenario in terms of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the interaction-free result is rather mysterious, using a "knowledge" not available classically. They also used the Everett-Wheeler interpretation and suggested that the information indicating the presence of the opaque object comes from an interaction in a separate Everett-Wheeler universe, with the information communicated to our universe through the absence of interference. In the present work, we will examine the EV interaction-free scenario in terms of the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics2 and will provide a more plausible account of the physical processes that make possible quantum interaction-free measurements.
Complete positivity in quantum open system dynamics573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388685View Description Hide Description
The statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics requires that, while evolving in time, states of quantum systems keep a positive spectrum of eigenvalues. That is, the time-evolution must be positivity preserving or, in short, positive. When dealing with dissipative quantum systems, positivity is no longer sufficient. The presence of entangled states makes it necessary that the time-evolution be completely positive. In this paper we discuss this latter notion in relation to simple positivity and quantum entanglement.
Quantum 1/f effect in spin decoherence rates and quantum computing573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388686View Description Hide Description
The quantum 1/f effect is a fundamental new aspect of quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum field theory in general, with practical importance in most high-technology applications. It is based on the reaction of material currents to their spontaneous emission of infra-quanta such as photons, gravitons, transversal phonons, spin waves, etc. It is the result of decoherence of entangled states of particles and their spontaneous bremsstrahlung, a consequence of infrared-divergent interactions between particles and their field. It is the quantum manifestation of classical turbulence and it represents the most fundamental form of quantum chaos. It is described by the simple universal formula of conventional and coherent quantum 1/f noise, important in engineering, science and technology. It provides a new physical meaning to the notion of "constant current," in time and space, similar to the 1937 definition of elastic processes by Bloch and Nordsieck. Finally, it is an interesting aspect of the concrete way in which matter generates its forms of existence, for instance time and space. Quantum 1/f spin decoherence rates, known to severely limit the performance of quantum computers, are shown here to be also affected by the quantum 1/f effect. Indeed, the elementary spin-flip process has a bremsstrahlung amplitude, leading to a non-stationary state with 1/f quantum fluctuations, and a disentangled system of non-localized low-frequency photons with negative conditional entropy. Thus, decoherence is due to the entangled system's interaction with the rest of the world, as is its quantum 1/f fluctuation which can be expressed in qubits. Increasing the spin-excess n is one way to reduce these fluctuations. In general, we find that both decoherence and its quantum 1/f noise could be controlled by better insulating the system in a new way.
A principle behind no-cloning and no-imprinting theorems573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388687View Description Hide Description
Consider a situation in which a quantum system is secretly prepared in a state chosen from the known set of n states. We present a principle that gives a definite distinction between the operations that preserve the marginal states of the system and those that do not. Many types of no-cloning and no-imprinting conditions for mixed states and entangled states can easily be derived from this principle. The principle also gives a unified view on how various schemes of quantum cryptography work.
From superluminal velocity to time machines?573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388688View Description Hide Description
Various experiments have shown superluminal group and signal velocities. Experiments were essentially carried out with microwave tunneling [1], with infrared waves by frustrated total internal reflection [2] and in a linear resonant molecular absorber with millimeter waves [3]. According to text books a superluminal signal velocity violates Einstein causality implying that cause and effect can be changed and time machines known from science fiction could be constructed. This naive analysis, however, assumes a signal to be a point in the time dimension neglecting its finite duration. A signal is not presented by a point nor by its front, but by its total length. On the other hand a signal energy is finite thus its frequency band is limited, the latter is a fundamental physical property in consequence of field quantization with quantum All superluminal experiments have been carried out with rather narrow frequency bands. The narrow band width is a condition sine qua non to avoid pulse reshaping of the signal due to the dispersion relation of the tunnelling barrier [4] or of any interacting medium. In consequence of the narrow frequency band width the time duration of the signal is long preserving causality in this way. However, superluminal signal velocity shortens the otherwise luminal time span between cause and effect.
Hierarchic theory of matter, general for liquids and solids: Ice, water & phase transitions573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388689View Description Hide Description
A background of new Hierarchic theory, general for solids and liquids (Kaivarainen, 1993, 1995, 2000) is described and illustrated by mean of computer simulations on examples of pure water and ice. Condensed matter is considered as gas of 3D standing waves (collective excitations) of different nature: thermal de Broglie waves (waves B), IR photons and thermal phonons. The agreement between theoretical and available experimental results is very good. The evidence of high-T mesoscopic molecular Bose condensation (BC) in water and ice in form of coherent clusters is obtained. The new mechanisms of the 1st and 2nd order phase transitions, related to such clusters formation, their assembly and symmetry change, has been proposed. Theory unifies dynamics and thermodynamics on microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic scales in terms of quantum physics. The idea of new optoacoustic device: Comprehensive Analyzer of Matter Properties (CAMP) with huge informational possibilities, based on Hierarchic theory is described.
Complexity of individual objects without including probability concept: Asymmetry, observer and perception problems573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388690View Description Hide Description
The measure of complexity of an individual object is considered. It is based on the measure of dissymmetry contained in the object and its description. As the qualitative measure of dissymmetry the orbit power of an object automorphism is suggested. As examples of application to mathematical physics we consider the parameter distributions and form of figures. Some strict definitions and theorems are formulated for the complexity measure for Morse function and geometrical figures. The applications to dynamical systems and differential equations are also discussed. Thus the main issues considered in proposed paper are follows: Considering and counting asymmetry of the individual object as the measure of complexity. Considering the pattern of external situation and their complexity. Investigation of internal structure of observer and forwarding the measurement processes description into formal scheme of complexity investigation. Introducing the first steps in considering interrelations of hierarchical object and hierarchical observer.
Chaos in manufacturing systems: Study of different cases573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388691View Description Hide Description
Since a few years, an abundant literature has been published in order to proof the existence of chaotic behaviors both in the field of science and in the field of technique. Until now very few articles studied the conduct of manufacturing production systems. Apparently some production systems let us think that their behavior might be chaotic. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the proof of existing chaos in the production systems has not been totally confirmed. The works presented in this article are aimed to make obvious and to prove the existence of chaotic behaviors in manufacturing production systems. After the presentation of the interest of this study in a manufacturing production environment, we present our analysis method of the dynamic of non-planned production systems. We then justify the choices which have been made regarding in particular: the sub-system in which our study is made, the variable of interest (temporal average of the number of parts in a waiting line), the determinism of the system parameters, and the imposed balance conditions (in the sense that the number of parts is finished regardless of the considered instant). In the second part are presented the results obtained with two manufacturing systems, both very simple and very similar, although they give very different results. We then compare the results with the rules of assignment and management of different waiting lines. In the last part, we show that an actual system, under certain management conditions, can also present a chaotic behavior. This study has been realized from the modeling of a flexible assembly cell.
Chaos synchronization via sliding modes573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388692View Description Hide Description
In this paper, an observability approach to the synchronisation of chaotic systems is presented. The proposed method allows for the reconstruction of a chaotic attractor from a scalar signal and its derivatives, and it refers to output feedback control techniques for uncertain nonlinear systems. Due to the robustness properties of variable structure control with sliding modes, it is possible to achieve synchronization also if some mismatching in the system model is present.
Autonomous selection and indefinite goals: A system using Bezier curves as dynamically re-defined transition rules573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388693View Description Hide Description
At the beginning, we point out a serious problem which arises when we describe the process of the living system as the computational process of a formal system. The problem is the indefiniteness in terms of correspondences of input and output states. Such indefiniteness can be grasped as the contradiction in a formal system. That is why we can say that the process of the living system is executed properly in spite of the existence of such a serious problem. The process proceeding in spite of a contradiction is represented by a perpetual change of partial function as a transition rule depending on the state. To achieve this purpose, we introduce the Bezier curve as a partial function. Given some control points in a plane, the Bezier curve that roughly connects all control points is calculated, and then all control points are moved horizontally and vertically at the same time as far as such moves can cross the Bezier curve. The new configuration of control points yields for the new Bezier curve. This sequential process is iterated, and that a transition rule of the Bezier curve is recursively re-defined. As a result, we have found that the system can generate particular output states even though the system is constructed without any explicit mechanism ensuring such events. Finally, we show that our system does work as a conceptual tool to embody ourselves who observe the process of the living system. A framework of the argument presented here is so-called internal measurement [1,2].
Anticipatory computing in the attitude control of satellites573(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1388694View Description Hide Description
In the paper we concentrate on the attitude dynamics of a dumbbell satellite on an equatorial low Earth orbit. This problem is originated by the application of tethered satellite systems formed by the space shuttle and a tethered subsatellite. These systems are widely studied by NASA and ESA with both theoretical and experimental methods (in the recent years two space shuttle missions performed experiments with tethered satellite systems). The equations of motion of such satellites form a set of highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations, which exhibits very unpleasant behavior when parameters like the length of the dumbbell and the orbit eccentricity is varied. We could detect nonlinear resonances, consecutive period doubling or chaotic oscillations. These are critical phenomena because at deployment or retrieval procedures the length is always changed at each missions. The main aim of this work is to obtain a simple feedback type control between the pitch angle and the length of the dumbbell satellite to get stable behavior in attitude dynamics. By using analytical methods we could derive an approximate equation of motion, which can be used as a model of the "real" system of equations. The approximate equation can be studied by applying nonlinear analysis and bifurcation theory and the conclusions are used as anticipations in building the feedback control.

Devil's Third may arrive 2013 and even make the Wii U
Creative director of Valhalla Studios, Tomonobu Itagaki has been talking about their debut title Devil's Third, when it will arrive and possibilities for the Wii U.
The Ninja Gaiden creator has indicated that the game is around 30 percent complete just now which will put it in line to arrive at the beginning of 2013.
He hinted that they are considering doing a Wii U version of Devil's Third as well as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions that have already been confirmed.
The most functional part of the game is currently the multiplayer which is playable and will be appearing at this year's Tokyo Games Show. They are working to push up the player count with Itagaki-san hoping to have 32 players in the finished game.

Singer Gets Dramatic Photoshop Makeover During Music Video
Everyone knows that 98% (not an exact percentage) of magazine covers and videos of models, actors, entertainers and the like are touched up in Photoshop. It's an industry standard to have the airbrush sweep over the imperfections of a person and, whoosh, make them look perfectly plastic-y. We've talked about it here, we've debated it, criticized it and we sit at our computers daily with the images of our clients and do it ourselves.
[REWIND: Time Lapse Video Shows Extent of Photoshop Retouching on Model]
Now, we can watch it in real time (sort of) as well. French-Hungarian singer, Boggie, gets artificially enhanced in her 3 minute video, 'Nouveau Parfum,' directed by Nándor Lőrincz and Bálint Nagy. Using a Photoshop-like software, you see a fresh face Boggie slowly being morphed into a fully made up, glowy specimen, ready for public consumption.
The lyrics of the song, roughly (since I really didn't pay much attention in French class) translates to: "Which I choose? Why I choose? Who wants me to choose? I'm not their product, Of beauty, preciousness. They can not change me. Peerless, nonpareil. The new fragrance is myself, new perfume. Or mascara, blush, lipstick, lipsticks, lip liners, eye shadow, foundation, nail, pressed powder and I do not want it…"
See for yourself:
The video is a simulation, there isn't a software program out there that can correct like this on a moving image, but as there is more and more of an outcry against the gratuitous usage of Photoshop, the message of this video is, perhaps, that it's time the public put its foot down against the media's false portrayal of what a star/model/person in the spotlight should look like.
It seems that recently there have been numerous anti-Photoshop/retouching campaigns, this one included, to drive the masses toward denouncing the perpetuation of the industry standard's of beauty. From Photoshop free magazines to complete breakdowns on how much magazines actually retouch their stars, is this going to make a dent on the current heavy handed Photoshop practices?
Feel free to discuss below.

Much like Charles Duell's famous 1899 quote**, the notion that the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is the be-all and end-all of verification methodology is an urban legend. The new Advanced Verification Topics book dispells this myth with five topics that describe methodology layers that build on the UVM to serve the requirements of advanced node SoCs.
The Accellera Systems Initiative UVM is gaining great momentum in the industry. From the Cadence perspective, our customers starting new SystemVerilog projects are doing so with UVM, and those starting new e projects are doing so with our e-based equivalent. Those customers are enjoying the reuse that is built into the UVM and the Cadence differentiators that work with the UVM like verification IP and debug. But the wise verification lead faced with low-power, massive designs, multi-language IP, and more challenges that seem to be prevalent at 40nm and below is asking -- what's next?
The Advanced Verification Topics book describes what's next. The five chapters, expertly described by Richard Goering in his blog, introduce methodologies that will improve productivity, predictability, and quality building on the UVM methodology base. Verification engineers reading this book will gain an appreciation for the work that needs to be done to implement these methodologies and the potential gains they represent.
In stark contrast to Mr. Duell's quote, Cadence has only just begun. Watch us in 2012 as we introduce several other topics and expand the languages used in our examples. We have a bigger boast for verification -- everything that can be invented WILL be invented and quite likely it will be from the engineers at Cadence.

** Note: Dennis Crouch's research suggests the quote actually comes from a 1899 humor magazine that described a fictitious exchange between a genius and a young lad at the patent office.

Effect of perioperative anti-HER2 therapy on early breast cancer study – biological phase.
Disease site: Breast cancer
Treatment modality: Systemic therapy
Status: In follow up
EPHOS-B is a phase III, multicentre, three group, randomised controlled trial to determine whether pre-operative treatment of HER2+ breast cancer patients with anti-HER2 therapy inhibits proliferation or increases apoptosis.
Part 1 of EPHOS-B closed to recruitment in August 2013. In this part of the study, HER2+ patients received either perioperative trastuzumab, perioperative lapatinib, or standard care. Part 2 immediately superseded part 1, and patients recevied either perioperative trastuzumab, a combination of perioperative lapatinib and trastuzumab, or standard care. Part 2 of EPHOS-B closed to recruitment in September 2015. Perioperative treatment consists of 11 days pre-operative treatment and further post-operative treatment, and participants will be followed up for 10 years.
Chief Investigator: Professor Nigel Bundred, University of Manchester/University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust

23 Questions About Hell contains to-the-point answers to the questions that Bill Wiese has most been asked about hell since his best-selling 23 Minutes in Hell first released. Each answer is based on the Word of God, and the combined answers provide a fresh understanding about some of lifes "Whys" as they relate to hell and eternity. This book will clear up misconceptions and presuppositions about Gods character, and about who goes to heaven, and who doesnt. It clearly demonstrates that we are held accountable for our decisions in life.

To my surprise it did not bring fear to any of the children or adults.
Lulu4 Stars Out Of 5After deathJune 22, 2016LuluQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4Bill Wiese has a great knowledge of scripture from the Bible, with lots of verses to back up his belief. The beginning part was kind of dull/boring if you fast forward it right to the 23 minutes in hell you will find it gets much better. This is a very good DVD and it is recommended to share with loved ones about life after death, and excellent witnessing tool as Bill Wiese gives the Gospel message clear and what one needs to do to receive Jesus Christ into his Heart as Lord and Savior.

I'm not totally sure I believe the DVD testimony, but the important thing is the book, the answers, and multiple Bible verse referrals. I think this is a must read for anyone: Christians who need a big nudge to pray desparately for unsaved loved ones/friends; unsaved people who have questions about the existence of hell.

Harbor Freight 25% off coupon ACCEPTED at Home Depot - socal
Score 0
Thread Details
I know this has been posted before about Home Depot sometimes accepting HF coupons. I used it today at an El Monte, California HD and it worked.
Here's exactly what I did:
- I called first and asked if they accepted HF coupons. Lady said yes.
- Went to HD and went to a cashier to confirm it. (don't bother asking a regular associate on the floor because they will always tell you to ask a cashier. Also try to ask the lead cashier so that you don't hold up the lines or feel embarrassed if they deny it when you got a bunch of people behind you.)
- The cashier had to call the manager to confirm it because it was a whopping 25% off.
- Tell the cashier what you plan to buy also so it's easier to explain it to their manager.
- Manager said as long as it's not a black friday SALE item they will accept it.
I got the Ridgid drill/driver with impact driver combo kit that is priced at $179.99.
And yes it was in their BF ad for that price but that is the regular price so that is why they let me use the coupon because it wasn't a BF sale price.
Saved $44.75!!!
Again I know it had been posted here before about using HF coupons at HD but a lot complain because no one posts what location. I can confirm that the HD in El Monte, CA will accept it. Not all socal HD will accept it though because earlier in the day I tried one in Monrovia, CA and they said no.
So for those who received the HF 25% off single item coupon and want to use it at HD before it expires...that's how.
I've attached my reciept.

As I swiped my card the manager said "wait a minute ... this is for one item only".......so I said "oh, OK" and they re-did it to just take 20% off my drill. Fine with me!
Unfortunately I had to get on the road and get home, but I loved that Home Depot!

A very large study of self-employed people living in France finds those who retired later had a lower risk of being diagnosed with dementia, in line with the idea that you either "use it or lose it."
Carole Dufouil of the Bordeaux School of Public Health, and colleagues, found that the risk of being diagnosed with dementia went down for each year of working longer.
The study appears to confirm earlier research that suggests lifelong mental stimulation and challenge may protect against Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
Dufouil, who is director of research in neuroepidemiology at the school's National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM - Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale), says in a statement:
"Our data show strong evidence of a significant decrease in the risk of developing dementia associated with older age at retirement, in line with the 'use it or lose it' hypothesis."
"The patterns were even stronger when we focused on more recent birth cohorts," she adds.
The results of the study, which covered more than 429,000 self-employed workers living in France, were presented at AAIC 13, the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston, MA, on Monday.
For the study, the researchers used health and insurance databases of self-employed people who were living and had been retired for an average of 12 years by the end of 2010.
The rate of diagnosed dementia in this group was 2.65%, said the researchers.
Waiting another 5 years for retirement means lower Alzheimer's risk
The researchers found that workers who retired at 65 years of age had a 14% lower rate of Alzheimer's diagnoses than those who retired at age 60.
The results also showed that for each year retirement was delayed, there was an increased delay in the presence of Alzheimer's.
Dementia, which affects mainly people over 60, is a disease where mental ability declines, usually slowly, leading to impairment of memory, thinking and judgement, and deterioration of personality.
In the European Union, the most common causes of dementia are Alzheimer's disease, (about 50 to 70% of cases) and multi-infarct dementia (successive strokes).
Dufouil says the study findings are in line with the idea that professional activity, by providing mental stimulation and social engagement, is potentially protective against dementia.
"As countries around the world respond to the aging of their populations, our results highlight the importance of maintaining high levels of cognitive and social stimulation throughout work and retired life, and they emphasize the need for policies to help older individuals achieve cognitive and social engagement," she urges.
The International Longevity Center-France, which is headed by Professor Françoise Forette, was also involved in coordinating the study.
Mental stimulation and social engagement are not the only activities linked to lower dementia risk. A study published earlier this year found that being physically active in middle age is also tied to lower dementia risk later in life.
And a Spanish trial found that brain power in older people at risk for vascular dementia seems to improve more from a Mediterranean diet with added mixed nuts or extra virgin olive oil than from a low-fat diet that is typically recommended for preventing heart attack and stroke.

Port Hope
A perennial favourite of end to enders, Port Hope is a charming heritage town with an excellent selection of B&Bs, shopping, theatre and restaurants. The Trail itself features the dedicated handiwork of volunteers that made this Trail possible including benches, bird feeders, a gazebo and tributes to the community leaders who played key role in the Trail's development-The Keith Richan Walkway and the A.K. Sculthorpe Memorial Woodland Marsh. The Trail can be divided into two sections:
Western Section (from the Clarington boundary and ending near the western edge of the urban part of Port Hope):
- Lakeshore Rd is asphalt with no shoulders. The speed limit along the road is 60 kph
- Terrain is hilly and area does not offer any amenity stops -- it is a beautiful rural ride (or walk) and offers many clear vistas of Lake Ontario
Eastern Section (western edge of the urban part of Port Hope through the downtown to the east and continues on through Hamilton Township over to Cobourg):
Highway 2 to Cobourg has paved shoulders (designated for riders and walkers).
Resources, Local Maps and Connecting Trails
Port Hope Tourism produces a variety of publications including the Visitors' Guide and an historic walking tour booklet.
Northumberland Tourism produces an excellent trails map that shows 5 suggested cycling route. The routes range in distance from the fairly flat 30km Glorious Ganaraska Route to the challenging 74km Rice Lake Ramble. A map can be found on their website here:
