In this message, Andy Stanley challenges the nation to change our rhetoric and declare our dependence on Almighty God - like King Solomon did, like Abraham Lincoln did, like our nation's founding fathers did.

Cadel Evans is poised to win his first Tour de France title after wresting the fabled yellow jersey from the shoulders of Andy Schleck on the penultimate stage in Grenoble.
Evans assumed the race leader's maillot jaune with a supreme display on today's 42.5-kilometre time-trial. The 34-year-old, a Tour runner-up in 2007 and 2008, will likely become the first Australian winner of cycling's most prestigious race after turning a 57-second deficit to Andy Schleck into a one minute 34 second advantage in the foothills of the Alps.
Evans entered today in third place overall, almost a minute behind Andy Schleck

When it comes to photography, digital cameras have made it so much easier to learn how to take good pictures. After all, you can shoot and then immediately check your image. No more waiting for days while your photos get processed.
But there's a downside, too. We all get so wrapped up in the "technical" stuff, we risk forgetting the fundamentals. And the biggest, most important fundamental is this: Mind your composition.
We talked to one of our pros, Rich Wagner, about exactly this topic… and caught it all on film. You can see what he had to say here below:

The art of crafting fine jewellery pieces that represent attachment and affection is one that Chaumet has honoured for over 200 years. The Joaillier des Sentiments or sentimental jewellery is the inspiration behind the Liens collection by the French jewellery maison.
By using links to represent the bond between two individuals, the collection delivers a range of emotions without the help of words. Made up of round lavender sapphires from Ceylon and white brilliant cut diamonds, the necklace and earrings create a set that is stunnying yet effortless. The diamonds form the liens motif that links each sapphire in a row.
These links used in the Liens collection represent the love two hearts share. True to the spirit of Chaumet, the white gold creations show how language is merely a barrier in displays of affection.

Algeria apparently bought, from the MDJT rebels, rebel leader Amari Saifi, known as El-Para and the second in command of the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). Algerian troops went to Niger to make the pickup. It's not known how the Chad government is going to deal with this situation, and the ransom money MDJT apparently now has.

text: I am in a very horrible position, where I am getting very prideful against God, and having horrible thoughts and feelings about Him....but I am desperately trying not to. My pride is as great as Satan's. I don't know if I am under an attack of the enemy, or if Satan is trying to get me to join his forces.....but I am trying to hard to humble myself and even begging God to humble me and bash my pride to pieces and soften my heart and let me love him. But the pride and enmity always boils up. I hate it. I fear God is just hating me as much as he hates Satan right now, going to cast me into hell at any moment. I feel like I am in the position of Esau, who sought his birthright yet despised it. Here I am seeking God desperately, yet also being at enmity with him in the process. All I can do is beg him for mercy and humility. I want to love him so badly and have nothing but love and praise and worship for Him.......but my heart is of stone. And I've told many people this (on other forums even), and I'm always told to give my care to Jesus. And I try to approach him, but I always feel he's looking down on me with hatred, since I've been so prideful against him. Has anyone ever struggled with pride against God? Is it possible I am actually in the same position as Esau? It's so scary.

Everything there is to know about koalas
Koalas are cute and furry creatures. They live in Australia and are marsupials. This means they carry their babies in pouches in front of their bellies. The biggest population of koalas lives in Queensland, a state in the north-east of Australia. They are quiet and peaceful creatures without any natural enemies. Except for humans. As Australia becomes more and more developed and urbanised, the koala habitat gets smaller. The eucalyptus trees they feed on disappear, and every year more koalas die in car accidents and are killed by dogs. We should all work together to help this endangered species survive. Here is some more information on koalas.
Buy this beautiful photo book on koalas
The habitat of koalas
Koalas live in Australia. Koalas feed on the leaves of eucalyptus trees, so they live in areas where there are lots of these trees. The Australian state Queensland has the largest population of koalas, but you will also find then in New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria Koalas reside in numerous different habitats, like coastal islands for example, or tall eucalyptus forests inland woodlands. They dont' like living in rain forests or swamp-like areas. A stable and healthy koala population is only possible when there are enough of their preferred eucalyptus trees. They tend to live in larger groups, as they need contact with other koalas, so there have to be enough trees to support larger numbers of koalas.
They are nocturnal animals. They spend most of their lives sleeping, about 16 to 20 hours a day. They sleep while sitting in the eucalyptus trees. Even when they are awake they spend a lot of their time resting, and eating of course. During the night they sometimes move around to find new trees to snack on. They have long clawed toes to make climbing trees easy. They are very slow moving animals. They do not have natural predators to worry about. But with Australia's population growing, the habitat of the koala gets smaller and smaller. As urban development takes over their habitats, more and more koalas fall prey to dogs, or car accidents. Koalas have very low tolerance for stress, due to having very small adrenal glands. Stress can cause latent diseases to manifest. In order to preserve the koalas we need to preserve and protect their habitats.
What do koalas eat?
Koalas eat the leaves of Eucalyptus trees. These leaves are very fibrous and poisonous for most animals, but koalas have developed a digestive system that can handle the leaves. They grind the eucalyptus leaves into a paste with their teeth. In their digestive tract there is a specific mix of bacteria which attack and break down the poisonous substances in the leaves. The bacteria also work to extract and produce the nutritional parts of the leaves the koalas need, like vitamins for example. But still there isn't much nutritional value in the leaves and their bodies don't store a lot of fat, which is why koalas spend so much of their time asleep, they need to be conservative with their energy.
Koalas do not normally drink water. They get all the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves. The leaves consist of close to 50% water. But when there are draughts affecting the water content of the leaves, then sometimes koalas drink water directly.
There are around 500 different types of eucalyptus trees, yet koalas only feed on about 12 of these. They learn what the scent of these leaves is, so they will be able to tell them apart from the species of which the leaves contain prussic acid. This prussic acid is toxic even to the koalas and their adapted digestive system. The eucalyptus trees in different parts of Australia are slightly different types of trees. This means the diets of koalas living in different areas also differ slightly.
Reproduction and baby koalas (called joeys)
Female koalas give birth to a baby once a year. The koalas are members of a group of mammals called marsupials, this means they carry their young in a pouch in front of their belly. Other family members are kangaroos and wombats. The baby koala is called a joey. Koalas are solitary animals, and the males and females only get together to mate. The gestation lasts 35 days. Koalas are pregnant with only one joey at a time.
As the joey is born it is very very small (like a raisin), blind, deaf and bald. But instinctively it will find its way up into the mama's pouch. In the pouch it latches on to on of the mother's nipples to drink. It will stay in the pouch for five to seven months, until it gets to big to stay in it. After climbing out of the pouch the little joey will stay with its mother for some time and grow to be an adult, and learn how to survive on its own. Sources differ on the time they stay with their mother, but it is usually around 2 years in total.
When they are adult koalas weigh between 6 and 12 kg. In the wild they will live to the ages of 8 to 10, but in captivity they usually get older. Some koalas in captivity have been known to reach 20 years of age.

I have always admired koalas when I have seen them in zoos, Mieka. They are cute and very unique. Would hate to think they may disappear because of human interference.

Learn more about Puerto Rico Bailout
On May 2nd 2016, the government of Puerto Rico failed to make $422 Million debt payment to the U.S. government. In response, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering providing funding for a bailout or to allow a default and impose strict austerity measures. President Obama and House Democrats argue that the U.S. should bailout Puerto Rico and a failure to do so will cause an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. House Republicans oppose a bailout and have proposed creating a federal oversight board which would have the power to manage Puerto Rico's budget and make cuts to public spending. Puerto Rico's second payment to the U.S. of $1 Billion is due on July 1st 2016. See recent Puerto Rico bailout news

My thoughts on this question are rather vague. Bailing out another country to ensure that a "humanitarian crisis" will not occur is favorable to me but managing Puerto Rico's budget and make cuts to their public spending does not stand out... 10 months ago from a Democrat in Tallahassee, FL
What the government is trying to do to help Puerto Rico is no a bailout, but, yes, we should help them. 10 months ago from a Republican in Millersville, PA
It should become 51st state. 10 months ago from a Democrat in Cypress, CA
Humanitarian services must be provided. 10 months ago from a Democrat in Fredonia, NY
Yes, but make it a state. 10 months ago from a Democrat in Waco, TX
Yes, and create a department to monitor spending on the island. 10 months ago from a Republican in Bella Vista, CA
Depends if we want Puerto Rico to Join the US or not. Bail Puerto Rico if we want them to join the union, but do not bail them out if we do not want them to join. 10 months ago from a Democrat in Washington, DC

Reports had speculated that Jay Cutler could most likely be back on the field for the Bears by as early as next week.
Now, Jay Cutler himself have thrown that prospect up in the air:
Cutler: "I don't think we can say I'll be out there for the Detroit game."
— Michael C. Wright (@mikecwright) November 5, 2013
This is a pivotal time in the season, no doubt this is troubling news for the Bears as the half way point in the season has already passed.
Also, with the injury to Aaron Rodgers the Bears could be missing out on a prime time to gain ground.

Sucralfate is a cytoprotective agent, an oral gastrointestinal medication primarily indicated for the treatment of active duodenal ulcers. Brand names include Sucramal in Italy; Carafate in U.S.A.; Sufrate, Sucralcoat, Pepsigard, Sucral, Sucrafil, Hapifate in India; Sutra or Musin in parts of South-East Asia; Sulcrate in Canada; Ulsanic in South Africa and Israel; and Antepsin in Turkey. Sucralfate is also used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stress ulcers. Unlike the other classes of medications used for treatment of peptic ulcers, sucralfate is a sucrose sulfate-aluminium complex that binds to the mucosa, thus creating a physical barrier that impairs diffusion of hydrochloric acid in the gastrointestinal tract and prevents degradation of mucus by acid. It also stimulates bicarbonate output and acts like an acid buffer with cytoprotective properties.

RBI slashes repo rate by 25 bps, loans may get cheaper now
In view of the slowing growth rate Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday cut the repo rate by 0.25 per cent to 6.25 per cent, its lowest since 2011.
The unanimous decision to reduce rates was taken by the new six-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) under a framework agreement signed with the government, marking a decisive shift in the approach to interest-rate setting in India, Indian Express has reported.
"The decision of the MPC is consistent with an accommodative stance of monetary policy in consonance with the objective of achieving consumer price index inflation at 5 percent by Q4 of 2016-17," the central bank said in its statement. Retail inflation dropped to a five-month low of 5.05 per cent in August.
The MPC expects retail inflation rates to hover around 5 percent by March 2017, the RBI said in a statement. hAccording to experts, the dip in repo rate would lead to good borrowing environment. This would inturn mean people could expect cheaper bank loans and lower EMI's for such loans
The RBI said that the repo rate announced indicated that the move was consistent with the accommodative stance of the cbank. The reaction from markets was immediate with rising from 28,250 points before the rate cut declaration to over 28,380 points almost immediately after.

When it was formally announced, the merger of Australian Stock Exchange Ltd (ASX -$10.52) and the Sydney Futures Exchange seemed like a natural fit. The SFE members would receive a big premium to buy out their memberships in the demutualisation process, with the ASX buying it for around $210m in cash. The ASX would be able to pursue its only probable large acquisition opportunity. There were said to be 'synergies' between the two organisations, although many an unhappy merger has been made using that elusive catchphrase.

Nanotechnology Doesn't Belong in Infant Formula
Mead Johnson Nutrition, Nestlé, and Walgreens are exposing babies to unhealthy and under-studied nanoparticles. Their top-selling products include engineered nanoparticles such as nano titanium dioxide and nano silicon dioxide. Recent science says that these substances are likely toxic for humans and other living things.
Nanoparticles can enter cells, tissues, and organs and may harm our health. And yet, these tiny engineered particles have not gone through proper safety assessments, and there is no regulatory process is in place to protect consumers. Babies are our most vulnerable population and the full impacts of ingestion and exposure to nanoparticles is unknown. What we do know is that we shouldn't be using our littlest loved ones as test subjects.
Take action and tell these companies are babies deserve better than dangerous nanoparticles!

Upcoming Series on Truth for Life with Alistair Begg
Faith That Works, Volume 4
"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." The letter of James is vital reading whenever the believer is tempted to be content with knowledge devoid of action, to cultivate the world's friendship rather than God's, and to tolerate disorder and selfish ambition. As we'll learn, James shows us that the outward display of faith will find its roots in the inward transformation that has already taken place. These studies provide a forceful and timely reminder that our creed must be seen in our conduct and our attitude must display itself in action.
The Sabbath
Many of us give little thought to how we spend the Lord's Day. In fact, any attempt at maintaining the sanctity of the Sabbath is often seen as nothing more than religious legalism. So what are we to do with this day of rest? In these studies, Alistair Begg helps us examine the contemporary Christian Sabbath and consider the possibility that our theology has been replaced with expediency in regard to this issue. If we cannot disregard the other commandments, then we cannot ignore the fourth either. Rather, we must humbly accept God's design in providing the Sabbath as a gift that provides benefits when we approach it out of conviction and obedience to God.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional application 60/378,444, which is hereby incorporated by reference and which was filed on May 7, 2002.
The present invention is directed to a method for determining an accident risk of a first object with at least one second object.
The method according to the present invention for determining an accident risk of a first object with at least one second object has the advantage that the collision probability of an own vehicle with one or more other objects can be determined. These collision probabilities can be evaluated, for example, by a control unit for restraint systems or other safety systems and used, even before the collision occurs, to initiate actions that mitigate the effects of the collision or in fact prevent it.
The method according to the present invention requires the detection of objects, and determines the status of the own object and of the other objects in the vicinity, the collision probability and a hazard probability between the own object and the other objects being determined. An accident risk is then derived therefrom. The "hazard probability" is understood here as a probability of at least a near miss; this means that a region is drawn around the own object, and the probability that other objects might enter that region around the own object is calculated. The collision itself is thus also detected from the hazard probability. The "collision probability," on the other hand, means that an overlap or crash occurs between the own object and at least one other object. An optional classification can be used to refine the accuracy of the collision prediction.
The method according to the present invention receives the current status of the own object and the status of the other objects, in real time, from other functions (e.g. a Kalman filter) that execute in the object. From an optional classification function, the method according to the present invention receives the object types—e.g. pedestrian, bicyclist, small motor vehicle, medium motor vehicle, large motor vehicle or truck—in order to determine, using that information and a predefined dynamic vehicle model (one for each specific vehicle class, and optionally as a function of a vehicle behavior model), the collision probability and hazard probability. Each object has a dynamic model of this kind assigned to it, so that the future behavior of the object can be optimally estimated in consideration of current parameters such as speed and acceleration. In addition, a behavior model for the driver or pedestrian can be taken into account here. This model then indicates in each case how probable behaviors are under the given boundary conditions. Incorporation of this model also improves the prediction of the future position of an object or traffic participant.
A Kalman filter can be generated for each observed object. The motion possibilities of the object are embodied in the Kalman filter in model form. The Kalman filter allows optimum combination of the new observations, which generally contain errors, and the model knowledge.
This information then permits a determination of the accident risk so that an actuator suite can be triggered, if applicable, even before a possible collision. This can result in optimum protection of a vehicle occupant and/or other vehicle occupants such as pedestrians. Control aids for collision avoidance can also be optimally used in this fashion.
Present-day safety systems for vehicles detect collisions after the accident has begun, so that in general there is no possibility for an action that might prevent or mitigate the collision. Such action, could, however, mean valuable time for the vehicle occupants and/or other traffic participants such as pedestrians. The method according to the present invention makes this possible, and also permits the corresponding application of countermeasures. The method according to the present invention permits the application of countermeasures that require more time than those that can be used when a collision has already occurred. For example, a visual or acoustic warning, proceeding from the method according to the present invention for determining an accident risk, can be outputted promptly enough to provide the driver with sufficient time to react in order to avoid the collision. In addition, the method according to the present invention allows a vehicle behavior model to be modified so that in the event of a high accident risk, it can react accordingly. As a result, it is possible for the method according to the present invention to adjust to behavior patterns of individual drivers.
The method according to the present invention makes it possible to store a variety of motion sequences with probabilities, in order then to initiate countermeasures as a function of the hazard probability. Only when the combination of individual states results in a high hazard probability can initiation of a countermeasure be indicated. The method according to the present invention is suitable in particular for two-dimensional cases, i.e. motions, for example, on roads or on water surfaces. It is also possible, however, to apply the method according to the present invention in a three-dimensional space. The method according to the present invention is thus also usable for air traffic and the motion of robots, or for use in underwater traffic.
Exemplified embodiments of the invention are depicted in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the description below.
It is particularly advantageous that the motion and the object class of the at least one second object are determined by a sensor apparatus, and the motion and object class of the first object are retrieved from at least one data source. This means that the other objects—for example pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles—surrounding the first object—for example a vehicle—are sensed using a sensor suite such as a pre-crash sensor suite, so that they can be classified and have motion parameters assigned to them. The own-vehicle values are retrieved from internal data sources, i.e. the vehicle type, current speed, direction, and a vehicle behavior model. Such sources are thus internal sensors and memories.
It is additionally advantageous that the motion of the first object is defined at least by way of its current position and its velocity. This yields a velocity vector that defines the relationship to the other objects. The motion of the other objects is defined at least by way of their current position. If stationary objects are involved, it is therefore not necessary to determine their velocity; only their position needs to be determined in order to determine the collision and hazard probabilities. For the first object, its longitudinal and/or transverse acceleration and/or its rotation angle or variables derived therefrom and/or its steering angle can additionally be used as further parameters for definition of the motion. Environmental influences, i.e. the road condition or defined maximum speeds, and/or a respective vehicle behavior, can be taken into consideration by the corresponding model in determining the motion.
Lastly, it is also advantageous that as a function of the accident risk, an indication, i.e. a warning to the driver, and/or a message and/or at least one signal to an actuator suite, is generated. A control unit in a vehicle, or a restraint system, can preferably be used in the method according to the present invention. Motor vehicles, ships, aircraft, and robots are possible as objects.
Impact sensors are already in common use in motor vehicles. In addition, pre-crash sensors such as radar or ultrasound or video are also increasingly being used to monitor the vehicle surroundings. On the basis of this kind of all-around view, reversible restraint means such as belt tensioners, for example, can be used as a risk approaches. A more accurate analysis of the motion of the objects surrounding the vehicle is necessary, however, in order for suitable countermeasures to be applied in as prompt and situationally appropriate a manner as possible.
The present invention now proposes a method for determining an accident risk that analyzes surroundings data more accurately so that countermeasures can thus be applied in situationally appropriate fashion. In particular, a hazard probability, which also considers the immediate vicinity around an object, is calculated here in addition to a collision probability. The method according to the present invention is not limited to utilization for road traffic, however; it can also be used for air traffic and shipping, in situations where robots are used, and for other applications.
Processor 2 is connected via a second data output to a restraint system 5 that is used to protect the occupants in the event of an impact. Restraint system 5 encompasses restraint means such as a belt tensioner and airbags that are used for various body parts. The belt tensioners can be embodied pyrotechnically and/or reversibly, a reversible belt tensioner usually being operated by an electric motor. In addition to normal front airbags, side airbags, knee bags, and other airbags for special types of accident can be used.
Processor 2 uses data via an interior sensing system upon utilization of these restraint means 5. The result is that if use of the restraint means is possibly hazardous, that use is suppressed in order to prevent injuries resulting from such restraint means. This applies, for example, when the person in question is located too close to a restraint means (e.g. is "out of position"), or when the person in question weighs so little that the force applied by an airbag might cause injuries. Pressure-based systems such as a seat mat or force sensors, or also wave-based interior sensor suites such as ultrasound, video, or infrared or high-frequency, can be used as the interior sensor suite. Processor 2 is connected via a third data output to an active steering aid 6 in order to assist the driver in avoiding a collision. It is possible for the processor to be connected only to restraint means 5 and/or to indicator 4 and/or to steering aid 6.
Restraint means 5 also include restraint means for the protection of pedestrians or bicyclists. These include raising the hood in order to protect such persons from impact against the engine block or windshield. The absorption characteristics of the bumper can also be appropriately adapted, and the vehicle or vehicle front can be raised or lowered in order to achieve improved crash compatibility. External airbags are also usable here in order to protect pedestrians and other traffic participants, for example in a vehicle/vehicle collision.
Processor 2 then evaluates the sensor signals of sensor suite 1 in order to combine them with a model—the dynamic vehicle model and optionally the driver model—that is loaded from memory 3. Data from data sources in the vehicle, temporarily stored in memory 3, are also needed in order to calculate the collision speed and approach speed. Those data include the own-vehicle type, speed, speed direction, acceleration in the vehicle, and also rotational acceleration expressed as rotation angles.
Using the collision and hazard probabilities, it is possible for processor 2 to calculate the accident risk for the current scenario as a function of the loaded data. Corresponding countermeasures are initiated as a function of that accident risk. A restraint system, or a system for acting on the vehicle behavior, can therefore then operate in situationally appropriate fashion.
In method step 8, the motion and object class are performed by retrieval from a memory, for example memory 3, in the vehicle in which the method according to the present invention is executing. The speed is known by way of the speedometer; longitudinal, transverse, and angular accelerations can be determined by way of internal acceleration sensors; the steering angle can be ascertained by a corresponding sensor. The object class, i.e. the vehicle model, can be stored in a memory. As an alternative to the speedometer, the speed can be determined by way of a satellite-assisted location signal such as GPS; radar sensors can also be used here in combination with inertial sensors.
From these data it is then possible, in method steps 9 and 10, to determine the collision probability and hazard probability. A dynamic model of the vehicle is used here. This dynamic model is dependent on the object class and can thus be loaded, for each vehicle, from memory 3. A driver behavior model can additionally be taken into consideration. This driver behavior model contains at least one model that assigns a probability to an action of the driver. In conjunction with the dynamic model of the vehicle, this enables the method according to the present invention to assign probabilities to all possible future states of the one vehicle and the other objects. A state encompasses at least the position, and optionally also the speed and orientation, as well as accelerations, rotation rates, and rotational accelerations.
In the simplest case only a driver behavior model is used, which is then the same for the own vehicle and the other objects. This model can be improved for the own vehicle using an adaptive model by using a driver observation sensor, or by observation of the driver's reaction in critical situations. In method step 11, the accident risk is then estimated by the collision probability and hazard probability that have been determined. As a function of the accident risk, an initiation of countermeasures is then performed in method step 12. These countermeasures include activation of restraint systems, output of warnings to the driver, and driver assistance in avoiding collisions.
Surroundings sensors 24 supply their data to an object detection system 28. Object detection system 28 introduces the object detection data into a classification module 29 in order to classify the surrounding objects. Those objects are then, in the next block 30, tracked using data from the object classification and object detection systems. These tracking data of block 30 are then also used in block 34 to determine the collision probability and hazard probability, although vehicle dynamics model 32 and optionally driver behavior model 33 are also taken into account in this context. Data from environment sensors 25 go into vehicle dynamics model 32. These sensors 25 supply data regarding the road, friction, and optionally temperature, as well as other parameters. Vehicle dynamics model 32 is then adapted therewith. Data from driver observation sensor 26 go into driver behavior model 33. This sensor 26 supplies data concerning the driver's attentiveness. Sensors that observe eyelid blinking, for example, can be used for this, although other vigilance sensors are also usable.
The collision and approach probabilities determined in block 34 are conveyed to module 27 in order to determine the accident risk. Data are also conveyed from block 27 to driver behavior model 33, however, in order to adapt the driver behavior model as a function of the driver's actions. Model 27 then performs an activation of actuator suite 35 as a function of the accident risk. This includes a restraint system 36; a collision avoidance system 37, e.g. by way of an automatic steering intervention or automatic braking action; a crash mitigation system 38, for example an adaptation of the bumper, raising/lowering of the vehicle front, vehicle/vehicle airbags, or collapsible front wheels in order encourage the colliding vehicles to slide apart; a pedestrian protection apparatus 39, for example a raising of the hood or pedestrian airbags; and a driver warning 40, which can be implemented by way of indicator 4 or a loudspeaker. A haptic output is possible here as well.
The time before the collision needed to initiate a countermeasure is depicted on abscissa 42. This time requirement is described qualitatively in 43. Certain actions can be initiated even after the collision; other actions require milliseconds to seconds before the collision. Below the time axis, a variety of countermeasures are arranged on the time axis in accordance with their respective time requirements. The double arrows qualitatively show time spans for the beginning of activation. When that time span has elapsed, the countermeasure should no longer be activated.
Curve 44 shows, as a typical example, the collision probability rising with decreasing time until the collision, and curve 45 shows the similarly rising hazard probability. These profiles are typical of cases in which a collision later actually occurs.
The hazard probability is in principle greater than or equal to the collision probability, since the hazard, which means an excessively close pass, includes the instance of a collision.
Behind curves 44 and 45, and cross-hatched in each case, is the unavoidable uncertainty regarding the result for the collision and hazard probabilities. This uncertainty is caused, for example, by measurement errors. It tends to decrease as time proceeds, since the number of observations rises and the measurement errors likewise become small for a smaller object distance.
The earlier the countermeasure must be initiated, the greater the remaining probability at that point in time that the collision will not occur, i.e. that the countermeasure is initiated unnecessarily. This may result, for example, from the fact that an escape opportunity still exists that an experienced driver might perceive.
Countermeasures that require a long activation time should consequently, if possible, cause no damage or only minor damage if improperly triggered.
The calculated values for the collision probability and hazard probability can be compared with thresholds. If the probability under consideration exceeds the threshold during the time period characterized by a double arrow, the corresponding countermeasure can then be activated. Activation also takes place if the threshold has already been exceeded as that time period is entered. The point in time for enabling activation is defined by the first intersection point 47 of curve 44 or 45 with curve 46. Threshold 46 need not necessarily be constant; thresholds that change over time are also usable.
Example: For the "Warn driver" countermeasure, curve 46 depicting the threshold for activation of a warning is drawn in by way of example. (Additional thresholds have been omitted for reasons of clarity.) If the hazard probability exceeds that threshold during the time period characterized by the double arrow, a warning is then outputted. Once that time period has elapsed, there is no further need to output a warning, since the driver no longer has sufficient time for a reaction.
For countermeasures such as, for example, warning the driver, which in turn cause no damage in normal circumstances, the hazard probability can be utilized for comparison with the threshold in order to provide a warning even before the threat of a near miss. For other countermeasures, the collision probability is preferable. There is no difference in principle between the two probabilities; the collision probability merely represents a special case of the hazard probability.
Close to the origin of the diagram, the time needed in order to initiate a countermeasure is very short. Ultimately, the only action here is to modify the airbag triggering algorithm. If the time for initiation of countermeasures is somewhat greater, the pyrotechnic belt tensioner can then also still be used. If even more time is available, the reversible belt tensioner can also be used. With even more time, measures can be taken to enhance vehicle compatibility for a crash. As the next stage, it is possible to activate automatic braking. If even more time is available, automatic steering can also be taken into consideration. As the lowest action, the driver's reaction can be observed and he/she can be given acoustic or optical instructions as applicable.
In order to determine the region that is taken into account for the hazard probability, the procedure is at first exactly the same as depicted in
The probabilities are determined by calculating probability density functions and integrating them, a determination being made on the basis of region 50 or 55, for each combination of the residence locations of the two objects (a residence location being determined in each case by the position of the object's reference point), as to whether or not a collision or hazard exists.
A quantization is used for the residence locations, the sampling being dense for short prediction times and more widely spaced for longer prediction times.
The non-action course is the course taken by the vehicle if no action is taken by the driver in order to modify the vehicle parameters, i.e. the speed and the acceleration vector. That course therefore continues to be followed if no changes are made by the driver in terms of steering or braking or acceleration. This typically occurs when the driver has not yet recognized the threatening situation or has assessed it incorrectly. The collision probability of the non-action course that is prepared by the driver behavior model is generally much greater than the probabilities of other possible courses. It is therefore advisable to model this non-action course separately, specifically with a greater precision, so that the remaining probability can then be distributed among all the other courses that the driver can take. These other courses are caused by braking, steering, or acceleration. The method according to the present invention for determining the accident risk, in which the collision probability and hazard probability are determined, depend on three parameters:
1) The initial states, made available by way of real-time sensor information, of the first and the further objects.
2) A vehicle dynamics model is used to predict future positions of the own vehicle and the other objects, taking into account the real-time sensor information.
3) A driver behavior model is used to assign probabilities of possible future positions of the own vehicle and the other objects.
The quality of the method according to the present invention can be enhanced by improving these input parameters. For example, using the object class as an input parameter increases the accuracy of the collision and hazard probabilities. This is because physical boundaries of the individual objects reduce the number of possible future positions of the respective object.
Instead of considering vehicle dynamics models, it is also possible to select general dynamics models that incorporate pedestrians as well. This also applies to the concept of the driver behavior model, which can be expanded to a general behavior model and also takes pedestrians into consideration.

During my first pregnancy I never received the anti-D shots as I should have and have subsequently become rhesus sensitized. When I fell pregnant recently the obstetrician didn't seem too concerned and just said that he would monitor my titer levels to see if they went up. Unfortunately we lost our baby at 15 weeks due to a rare chromosonal problem. Now the obstetrician has told us that with any future pregnancies the titer levels will not be a reliable gauge anymore.
He has given us the go-ahead to ttc but has also referred my husband to do a blood test to get his phenotype. I'm not sure why?
Has anyone else recently gone through a pregnancy with rhesus alloimmunization and what did your pregnancy management involve? Did you have Doppler ultrasonography or intrauterine transfusions and at what stage?
The doctor also mentioned that IVF/PGD might be an option to look at? Has anyone been through this process and what are the costs involved?

Srinu Vaitla is one of those few directors who blend comedy exceptionally well in to his scripts and they seldom are his unique selling point in most of his films. He also wishes to entertain every single person who comes to the theatre and that is the reason why he relies on comedy.
By nature Srinu Vaitla likes action oriented movies. However he is so much influenced by the movies of legendary directors like EVV Satyanaryana and Jandhyala. As a result of that he makes sure that comedy isn't missing in his movies and at the same time he satisfies himself by incorporating good amount of action sequences.
He is right now gearing up to direct Mahesh in a film titled Aagadu which will be produced by 14 Reels Ent Pvt Ltd. The script work is almost complete and shooting is expected to start in October.

2003 S10 motor swap
I have 2003 S10 4.3 TBI with a blown motor. Im
putting in a 2006 4.3 MPI. My question is, will this
make the computer throw codes and effect ability
to run properly?
6 Answers
get the computer that goes with the new motor
Are the connections the same?
Are the connections the same? The motor came out of a 2006 full size pickup.
probably not but you can look it up on line
you may get away with changing out the injection systems and keep the same computer. Keep the TBI system with manifold and see if you can replace the multiport injection system with it. but I am not sure.
Only problem is, before I realized it had Mpi, i threw out the old motor. I guess I'm going to the parts yard and find intake and TBI to put back on it.
