More than 3'000 doctors and nurses recruited in Gauteng
The Gauteng Department of Health recruited a total of 3'256 doctors and nurses between January and August this year.
It said an open-ended block advertisement for clinical posts which runs throughout the 2016/17 financial year for all vacant funded posts (doctors and nurses) was released by the Department in May 2016.
There was a net gain of 2'227 nurses by the end of August and 1'029 medical practitioners.
The walk-in applications and improvement of working conditions through provision of medical equipment was contributing to recruitment and retention of staff' it added.
"The availability of health professionals is critical in building an effective health system and contributes towards the attainment of a long and healthy life for all.
The Department addresses vacancies through recruitment and training. Gauteng has continued to be a province that produces the highest number of health professionals at its training institutions'" said Health MEC Qedani Mahlangu.
Mahlangu said that to increase the number of health professionals in the province the department had advertised full-time bursaries.

Officers swooped on the Bar 9 club on the edge of the Square Mile, seizing the bar manager on suspicion of supplying cocaine and arresting four customers for possession.
Police found £7,500 of cocaine, much of it in wraps ready to be handed out with the drinks orders. One detective said: "Essentially this was a cocaine bar where people from the City could go to get drugs."
The drug was said to be being openly traded and used in the bar. Detectives from the City of London Police swooped on the bar in Christopher Street, near Broadgate, last night after a two-month covert operation. They recovered cocaine which was allegedly being supplied to customers at £50 a gram.
The bar, which opened in January, was members-only, requiring customers to be buzzed in on a video entryphone. Membership was said to have been granted after references from existing customers.
The bar's 47-year-old manager was arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A drugs and allowing his premises to be used for the supply of drugs.
Four customers who were in the bar at the time, who are all believed to work in the City, were also held for possession of cocaine.
Detective Inspector Dave Evans of the City of London police said: "We have been conducting a covert operation to identify the supply of cocaine from these premises.
"We have recovered a quantity of cocaine, some of it ready to be served in wraps, some waiting in bags.
"Our contention is that one of the main reasons for the existence of this bar was to supply cocaine. Those people that went to use the bar were going there to acquire cocaine.
"This is unusual for the City of London but it shows that the drug is out there and when we identify its use we will stamp it out."
Experts say cocaine is still widely prevalent and affordable in London, which has been called the "cocaine capital of the world".
One drugs charity worker said: "Cocaine is still heavily used in the City but I have never come across something quite as open as this before."Reuse content

If you want to understand a key piece of Google's vision for the future of the fashion, furniture, and automotive industries, look no further than Lady Gaga. Specifically, at a dress she wore to a 2013 iTunes Festival in London. Her ensemble, made by design firm Studio XO, included a 3D-printed mechanism that blew bubbles as she walked. There was so much machinery inside the dress that she needed two assistants to help her stay upright.
When Ivan Poupyrev sees Gaga's insane dress, he has an odd reaction. He thinks man, it would be great if tech like this could be built into more stuff. Poupyrev is a technical program lead inside Google's ATAP division, the top-secret lab run by former DARPA director Regina Dugan that is responsible for some of Google's most insane and ambitious ideas. One of the most ambitious ideas to date: smart pants.
OK, technically Poupyrev's idea is called Project Jacquard. (The name comes from a classic style of intricate machine weaving.) It aims to bring conductive yarns to every garment and fabric on earth, and then to integrate touch sensors, haptic feedback, and more right into your jeans, car seats, curtains, everything. "If you can weave the sensor into the textile, as a material," Poupyrev says, "you're moving away from the electronics. You're making the basic materials of the world around us interactive."
Conductive fabric is nothing new, but conductive fabric at scale is. And the Jacquard team created a way to produce this conductive yarn with the same looms and machinery the textiles industry already uses. They also figured out how to integrate tiny electronics into textiles, which Poupyrev hopes will soon live inside every item of clothing you buy. Google is working on an ecosystem of apps and services that will let you interact with your phone and other gadgets just by grabbing, tapping, swiping, and touching your clothes.
Frankly, Poupyrev says, it's ridiculous that our clothes don't already talk to our tech. "Any time you put your phone into your pocket," he says, "you have a smart jacket… the only problem is they don't talk to each other. There's no connection between them. So this work, we can actually kind of close the circuit." He starts imagining what that means out loud: What if your phone knew you were getting dressed up, and called an Uber as soon as you finished knotting your bowtie? What if it could automatically track your exercise as soon as you put on your running shoes? What if you could talk to your phone with a single, discreet swipe on your arm? What if it could talk back?
Learning to Weave
When he joined ATAP in January of 2014, Poupyrev knew little about the fashion industry. His real fascination is with the ways we interact with the world around us. Before joining Google, he was the principal research scientist in the Imagineering division at Disney. One of his projects turned materials like water and flowers into touch surfaces; another, called Revel, added haptic feedback to things like chairs and umbrellas. He even built a system called Aireal, which literally made objects out of thin air.
Nearly everything he'd worked on was a prototype: half academic exercise, half futuristic concept. Even at Sony, where he worked in a research lab, he struggled to turn turn ideas into products. ATAP doesn't work that way, though. When you start a project, you finish it. You're expected to turn it into a money-maker or move on to something else.
Any time you put your phone into your pocket, you have a smart jacket… the only problem is they don't talk to each other. Ivan Poupyrev
Fortunately, Poupyrev had long been thinking about textiles—sort of. The structure of touchscreens, with their big grids of electrodes, detecting currents formed and broken as our fingers move, have always reminded him of textiles. It occurred to him that, unlike placing a lot of electrodes on glass surfaces, making textiles—fabric, cloth, yarns, whatever—is kind of easy. If he could replace just a few of those yarns with something conductive, he could make a touch sensor that could go absolutely anywhere. "It's a complete shift from making electronics and attaching them to things," he says, "to actually creating materials which are interactive by their definition. And I thought that was really powerful."
As he explains the origins of Jacquard, inside the Levis' Eureka Innovation Lab in San Francisco, it's clear the fashion industry has rubbed off. He's wearing a white dress shirt underneath a dark suit jacket that has a huge pair of white scissors embroidered on the front, along with the word CUT. (His boss, Dugan, finds this jacket hilarious.) He's wearing an Omega Speedmaster, the model of watch that Neil Armstrong wore to the moon. His hair is in a messy sweep off to the right of his face, bouncing around his forehead as he moves. Which is constantly. He can hardly stay seated for more than a few minutes; his hands fly around while he talks about tailoring and weaving.
"As technologists, we don't really notice—we buy ready-made clothes, and we figure it was always like this," he says. "You can see the incredible amount of craft being used to create all these pieces," he says, over a video of a tailor and his apprentice carefully measuring and cutting the sleeves of a jacket he made with Saville Row. He can hardly contain his amazement at the human craft that goes into making it. He's got that same jacket on a table in front of him, and he can't stop touching it as he talks, swiping up and down on its left forearm. There's an invisible touch sensor inside, connected to tiny electronics hidden just underneath the right lapel. It's programmed to initiate a phone call.
Old Dogs, New Tricks
The remarkable thing about Project Jacquard isn't its conductive fabrics. That's been done. It's not even difficult, really. What Poupyrev and his team have really been working on is how to bring this to a global manufacturing process that hasn't changed much in the last two centuries. Jacquard will only work if it can integrate into the looms, the materials, and the processes used by the thousands of retailers, designers, and factories around the world. "We wanted to do something that could scale to all of them," Poupyrev says.
That meant hitting production floors. "Basically I was told, you have two places to go: Italy or Japan," he says. "Nothing else." He picked Japan, where he'd lived for 15 years previously. He spent time learning how yarns are made, trying to figure out how to work conductive materials into the brutal manufacturing and testing processes. "They burn them on the open fire to get rid of excessive yarn filaments sticking out," he says, shaking his head at the brutality of it. "I wasn't aware that these things were happening, and that was just one of them. The stretching, the pulling, the putting in the water, on the hot press, the pressing. On some textiles they have the metal claws pulling them apart! It's kind of destructive for electronics."
Working with one of Japan's many boutique textile manufacturers, Poupyrev and the Jacquard team designed yarns based on a metallic alloy whose precise makeup he won't share. Just about anything can be woven around that conductive core, using a super-strong braiding process. The same process can make everything from denim to silk to polyester to wool, all equally conductive. The yarn comes in thousands of colors, and looks and feels exactly the same as any other.
Poupyrev is a self-effacing technologist, poking fun at T-shirt-wearing Silicon Valley engineers, but he still thinks like a Googler
Next came the hard part: learning how to integrate these textiles into existing garments and processes. They discovered that by tightly weaving the conductive thread into other fabrics, they were having a hard time connecting the electronics necessary to power and capture data from the yarn. So after a few revisions, they created a two-layer system that allows you to embed electronics in the middle, like the meat in a sandwich. That makes it easy to connect electronics to the connective threads themselves, without getting in the way of what the designers want to do. "We're going to take over the fashion industry, but from the back," Poupyrev says. Literally and figuratively.
Google's not interested in getting into the garment business, Poupyrev says over and over. "You need to provide your solution to hundreds of brands at some point," he says. "I don't want to become a textile mogul. I don't want to own factories everywhere. There are enough factories already. We just want to use those capacities right there."
Poupyrev doesn't want Google to make clothes, or the tiny electronics inside, but he does want to make the software that controls them. He's planning to offer apps and APIs so that developers and customers can pick their clothes' functionality the same way they pick cut and color. It's an entire rethinking of "wearables."
Touchy Feely Everything
For the record, it's impossible to make a textile-based touch sensor as precise as your phone. "When they're making a capacitive touch panel in the factory," Poupyrev says, "they're usually using magnetrons. Something like that, crazy stuff." The goal, then, was to make Jacquard's yarn good enough to recognize certain gestures. That way, he says, "we can infer intention from the signal" and still reliably do what you want.
People don't want to glow like a Christmas tree
"In the future—or maybe not in the future—wearables should not be thought of as another consumer device," Poupyrev says. "We already have clothes, we already have garments." Why do you need a wristband to measure your steps or heartbeat, when your shoes or shirt could do it more accurately? Why do you need a watch to deliver haptic feedback, when a slight buzz on your shirt cuff would be even more discreet? "Everything other wearables do," Poupyrev says, "we'll do it. It's not difficult. But it's going to be much more than that."
At least on a prototype level, it works. Poupyrev showed me more than a dozen different kinds of fabric—silk, polyester, denim. In each, he pointed out the touch-sensitive areas. Some were large and visible, some were small and perfectly integrated into the garment.
Poupyrev is a self-effacing technologist, poking fun at T-shirt-wearing Silicon Valley engineers, but he still thinks like a Googler. He's a conqueror, a man who looks at an extremely mature 200-year-old industry and sees huge neon signs that say "RIPE FOR DISRUPTION." But the fashion industry is huge, massively powerful economically, and extremely diffuse—there is no equivalent to Apple or Google, no single company that can drag the industry into new eras by sheer force of economic and social will. The fate of Project Jacquard will rest on Google's ability to convince not one partner, but many.
ATAP's first partner in the project is Levi's, maker of all-American jeans and trucker jackets. Poupyrev worked closely with Levi's VP of Innovation Paul Dillinger, a designer by trade who says even now he's nervous about getting this right. But he sees in Google a willing partner, not a would-be overlord; he mentioned a couple of times how impressed he was that Google was willing to shape its processes to the particular needs of Levi's denim. Poupyrev, in turn, has learned to deflect all questions of fashion and design over to Dillinger.
Poupyrev laughs at his own desires to put full-size LCDs on his sleeves, before wistfully talking about working with someone who's interested in helping him do exactly that. But he catches himself. "If you're serious about it, you know people don't want to glow like a Christmas tree," he says. "This is not a technology problem. Adding a full wearable LCD thing on your wrist, that's easy. It's really a design problem. Design, and cultural understanding."
Even the first partnership was a tenuous one. After the Levi's team first met with the Jacquard crew in Mountain View, they spent two hours sitting in traffic on the way back to San Francisco coming up with all the reasons it wouldn't work. The supply chain is too complicated, too diffuse; there are too many tests and processes for the materials; it might just suck for consumers. "On spec," Dillinger says, "I'm hugely skeptical of wearables." Even now, he says, Levi's is still trying to figure out the right application for the tech.
Dillinger loves the potential, though. "We realized that even though we live in the physical world, we're becoming ever more reliant on the digital world. And that reliance is creating this situation of like, phone to face." As he says this, he lifts his hand up, covering his bearded face and gray beanie. He likens it to the steering wheel in the car, how great it was when manufacturers moved things like music playback and volume control off the dashboard and right under your fingers. Safer, easier, just better.
Jeans are just the beginning of Project Jacquard. The plan—to turn everything from your clothes to your chairs into interactive devices—is as much a moonshot as self-driving cars and diabetes-managing contact lenses. But if Google can integrate itself as a partner in the fashion industry, not a competitor or tech company that wants to slap touchscreens on a coat, Jacquard could be the core of a new kind of connected clothing. One that doesn't have weird pockets for sensors, that looks exactly like a great pair of jeans always has.

Then again, the ones I have have seen are full auto..........better add 'em to the AWB! Seriously though, this story demonstrates the efforts to follow Holder's advice to "brainwash" people to think of guns as inherently evil. Plan appears to be getting guns out generationally.
Pennsylvania girl, 5, suspended for threatening to shoot girl with pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles | Fox News
It seems like school boards are getting more stupid by the day.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

SAD!!! Really sad!!!
"The key to freedom is the ability to defend yourself"
Just shows how insanely hysterical some people in this country have become.
I remember MY childhood. Playing Annie Oakley and "shooting" the bad guys with my cap gun. Playing "Cowboy and Indian" with my brothers. (Being the youngest...I was always the Indian and they were getting even for Custer's Last Stand.) Nothing like taking the fun out of being a child. I wish I had one of those pink bubble guns now....I WOULD shoot my brothers with bubbles and not feel guilty at all. Revenge would be sweet for this little "Indian".

Whats this world coming to. Nevermind we already know.
Someone made a good point on Bill Maher last night(like him or not). The point was that when we were kids we had toy guns and we played cops and robbers. We didnt have the same frequency of mass shootings in schools. As we've put guns toys and tv shows with guns( as in Elmer Fudd/yosemite sam) on the outer reaches of the market, we've seen an increase in violent kids. I think there's a valuable argument in the idea that making guns mysterious and out of reach almost makes them more of a curiosity to kids.
Since in my day we carried cap pistols and knives to school, I find the report very sad.
Some folks on the other side really are missing a few, and on our side as well.
Problem is the newspapers only tell us about both extremes.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.
Andrew Jackson
I remember in early grade school we had to decorate a poster of our name with cutout pictures from magazines. My older brother helped me find pictures, and I ended up with rifles on the letter Ts. I didn't get in any kind of trouble, and that was New Jersey, mid 1980s. I imagine I also had a sensible teacher who used her own critical thinking, too.
Zero tolerance policies are designed so teachers don't have to think, and so students are kept submissive. And when you don't have to think and don't have any kind of control, you are more easily led.
"Americans have the will to resist because you have weapons. If you don't have a gun, freedom of speech has no power." - Yoshimi Ishikawa
One of my sons had a senior year science project in 2005, where he selected what to build from a list provided by the school. One of the items available was a potato cannon. Guess what we built? He took it to school, carried it through the halls, and at the appropriate time, he took it to the football field and promptly fired off a 100+ yard field goal! He was home a week ago and we talked about how amazing that story is, and how imposssible it would be today, just 8 years later. Of course we also discussed how flippin' awesome that cannon was..........!!
The screwall officials are a bunch of idiots who are incapable of having a rational thought.

My CCL instructor was a Metro Nashville Police Officer for 26 years. When he had children, a boy and a girl, he would unload his service revolver and leave it on the coffee table. After a couple of times the kids curiosity wore off. It made no noise or lite up so they paid no attention to it. When they reached a certain age he took them out with gallons of kool-aid and showed them what a weapon could actually do. It worked, he never had a problem with them and firearms. Just thought i would share that. True story.

text: Hi everybody ::- ). One thing which has me perpetually angry at the ALT+TAB application selection window in Windows 7, is that after a time (about 1 second) it hides the window I triggered it from, replacing it with the window of the currently selected application. So let's say I'm typing this in FireFox and I press ALT + TAB. As soon as I do this, a timer starts. When it reaches about 1 second, it just hides my FireFox and shows me my Outlook, because that's the next window I have opened. I don't like this behavior and I would like to know how to change it. When I hit ALT + TAB I sometimes do it just to see what I have opened or I take a bit more than 1 second to decide where exactly I want to jump. Hiding my currently focused window is distracting & annoying. So I would like to somehow increase that interval to 5-10 seconds. Is this even possible? IMPORTANT: - I found out about HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AltTab "LivePreview_ms" but it doesn't really do the trick. I set there 7000 (decimal) and it kinda' increased from 1 second to 2.5 seconds. Setting 15000 did no further change. Weird. And yes, I restarted explorer.exe all the time. - I also found out about HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced "DesktopLivePreviewHoverTime" and that doesn't help either. Thank you in advance!

New anti-dumping commissioner announced - .PDF file.
The minister of home affairs and minister for justice Jason Clare yesterday officially announced the appointment of Dale Seymour as the new anti-dumping commissioner. The creation of the Commission follows a report by the Hon John Brumby, former premier of Victoria, recommending that a separate, adequately resourced commission be established and that an immediate increase in resources be allocated to anti-dumping.
In accordance with these recommendations, a $24m funding boost over the next four years will assist the new commissioner to address some of the issues identified by Brumby. Those issues include the fact that dumping is on the increase in Australia, and that public confidence in the system is low…

Anna: there's slobber in my hair, yaaay!Mature
It is amazing how fancying somebody changes your perspective on everything. Like back then in the head's office, I would have been waaay more scared if it weren't for Jake. Mainly because he did all the talking and smoothy smooth people tend to be good at this. I've tried but I seem to drift a little after a while....yes so anyway. And right now, when he is kissing the top of my head, I don't mind at all. If he weren't my boyfriend, I'd be all, eww there's slobber in my hair. But because it's Jake, in my head I'm happily thinking, yaay, there's slobber in my hair!
Now I know what Frankie Goes To Hollywood were on about in 'The Power of Love'.
We went to sit at lunch when I saw them, walking along from french. The four telling-everyone-everything-about-our-business-generally-rubbish-at-spywork spies. Moustaches donned and jacket collars turned up. Even Heather...wow, they were seriously into stalking us. I acted instinctively, by jumping behind the nearest thing I could find...which was a bush.
'What are you do-arggh!' I cut Jake off by grabbing him by the trouser leg and yanking him behind said bush too. He looked at me as if I had gone mad. Mad...but he's still going out with me. Look who gets the last laugh, hahahaha...That's me who gets the last laugh, by the way. Jake was getting the last very confused expression. 'Is hiding behind bushes a habit of yours?'
'No, keep your voice down,' I whispered, peering through the branches. 'The stalkers are on the prowl, and all I can see is a bird's nest...'
'Is that what you wear the moustaches for?'
'Yehh....wait, where are they now?' I tried to see through the bush but they are pretty leafy. And full of nests. 'Oh what did the head say?'
'Urgh...don't worry. He let me go for now. No doubt there'll be detention to come but...'
'I'm sorry,' I clenched my teeth, then gave Jake a winning smile. He smiled back. Hahaharr, he cannot give in to my charm. Smooooth. Oh what what what? I think we're doing the leany leany thing again. My goodness, I have no restraint. I just start puckering up. Shush lips! Ah well, what's the worst that could happen?
'OOOOOOOH!' We turned to see four moustached stalkers running into the distance. I rolled up my sleeves, then put them down because my arms were too cold in this weather. 'We need to sort these terrible spy detectives out. I mean, they can't even stalk properly.' I stood up. 'Oooh we'll sort them out as soon as I get past this headrush.' I held a hand out to Jake and grinned. 'You with me?'

DARRYL SEYMOUR | Gossip Guru | CONTACT
The Betoota Advocate can today reveal, comedian Bill Cosby's first ever attempt to publicly address sexual assault allegations that have come to light over the last year.
Cosby, a former sitcom superstar and much-loved television host, has found decades of fame and fortune through his unique style of family-friendly comedy.
His comments today would show that he is still relying on this particular brand to help get him through the troubled waters he finds himself in.
"Come on now, people. Don't you remember The Cosby Show? I am a family man… these accusations are coming from people that I can't even remember meeting,"
"Ah dooby dooby do!"
"Please don't judge me as this big ol' monster they have created, judge me for me… the man you used to love seeing on TV"
Cosby's inability to take these allegations seriously has drawn criticism from vocal campaigners. Unfortunately, his "kind-hearted-middle-class-patriarch-goofball" character is hard to break away from.
"These alleged victims are just being scallywags [laughs]… you know what they say.. Alleged victims say the darndest things"
It seems these accusations, many which span several decades, have only come into the spotlight after stand-up comedian and former Saturday Night Live writer Hannibal Buress unleashed a violent tirade about Bill Cosby, calling him a 'rapist' and a sanctimonious hypocrite during a performance earlier this year.
It seems Buress was taking aim at Cosby as a result of the comments he has made about African-American communities over the years, most notable his NAACP "Pound Cake Speech" in 2004.
"Bill Cosby has the f***ing smuggest old black man public persona that I hate,"
Buress declared from the stage on Thursday night at the Trocadero Theater in Cosby's hometown of Philadelphia.
Mocking America's beloved dad from The Cosby Show, Buress said:
"Pull your pants up, black people. I was on TV in the '80s. I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom…. Yeah, but you raped women, Bill Cosby. So, that brings you down a couple notches."
It is unknown at this time if any of these matters will result in prosecution.

How we work for everyone's mutual benefit
Scottish Friendly is a mutual and as such, we work hard for our loyal customers.
As we explained in one of our blog posts, a mutual doesn't have shareholders who have to be kept happy with regular dividends. Instead, it's owned by its members and run solely for their benefit.
So unlike a public limited company (PLC), our profits are used to benefit our customers. And that could mean you.
Together, mutuals like Scottish Friendly manage a total of over £90 billion in assets and have more than 25 million customers across the UK.*
A wealth of experience
- Mutuals typically have plenty of experience in providing the best possible service for their members too — in our case over 150 years. And research has shown that customers prefer mutual over other businesses in the same industry.*
- Not only are mutuals popular with customers, their employees like them too. In employee owned businesses, staff satisfaction levels tend to be higher than in the wider economy.*
- Like any other UK financial organisation, we're authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, so you get the same protection.
* Source: The Mutual Manifesto

We have had staff movements in the organisation and I have renamed their AD Accounts (not login name) to their name, however Spiceworks still displays the name as the old user.
I have AD Scanning on for every 15 minutes.
How do I get Spiceworks to update their name so it has their correct display name in the helpdesk etc..?
An example of what I did:
Opened dsa.msc
Found User: TAO
Clicked Properties
Changed their First, Last and Display Name from: Jill Doe to Jane Doe.
Applied and saved.
It has been 2 weeks and Spiceworks still shows TAO as Jill Doe not Jane Doe.
Any suggestions?

I dont think spiceworks will pickup this change, SW only writes to the AD if you have Sync changes with AD but if a user has already been scanned by SW it is not changing the details that it already has, if you had made this change from within SW it would have wrote the change to your AD but i dont think it works the other way around.
You could just delete the specific user from SW and let the scan take the correct details in again
Feb 16, 2012 at 3:31 UTC
I had a similar problem a while back and whilst it is a less elegant solution it only takes a few seconds to edit a user account.

Hi, Thanks for the replies gents.
I have just seen you re-activate the user and then remove.
Thanks very much

LeBron was so stoked about seeing Drysch win the money, he broke away from his team's huddle to jump on the fan with a huge hug. If you're wondering why James was so enthusiastic, it might be because his foundation put up the money and flew the fan down from Illinois to attempt the shot, according to ESPN's Michael Wallace. Drysch won a drawing that gave him the opportunity to make the trip and shot. Drysch had been practicing the shot for two days but only made it once. Good thing he saved the second make for the time that counted. And how about LeBron's reaction? Have you ever seen someone so happy about losing $75,000?

This paper introduces a little-known episode in the history of physics, in which a mathematical proof by Pierre Fermat vindicated Galileo's characterization of freefall. The first part of the paper reviews the historical context leading up to Fermat's proof. The second part illustrates how a physical and a mathematical insight enabled Fermat's result, and that a simple modification would satisfy any of Fermat's critics. The result is an illustration of how a purely theoretical argument can settle an apparently empirical debate.

The Meeting
12th July 2010
Fear. That's all I remember about the journey I took to London to meet my mother. The train seemed to go impossibly slowly, every minute feeling like an hour as I sat in silence, unable to focus on anything or sit still. Rupert got annoyed with me after the first half hour and told me to stop fidgeting because it was making him nervous.
After what felt like an eternity we arrived into a dark Paddington station. We took our overnight bags with us from the train, wandering out of the station together, both feeling totally lost. I'd hadn't made Rupert tell me about the arrangements for where we'd be staying. With hindsight I can now see that was a foolish thing to do.
But we eventually made it to the hotel Rupert had booked us in to. It wasn't the best place I've ever been, the rooms were tiny and the floor didn't look like it had been cleaned, but I wasn't going to complain.
I was sharing with Rupert and he insisted on going to bed as soon as we arrived to make sure he was awake for the next day. I wasn't ready to sleep but Rupert was going to have his own way and I didn't have the energy to argue. So after the lights were turned out I lay there in the darkness, listening to the sounds of police cars wailing outside the window and the roar of cars all over the city. But the thing I remember most vividly was the fear in the pit of my stomach.
21st August 2009
Rupert and I had gone to the restaurant where Lewis had said we should meet and were sitting patiently. Part of me didn't want her to arrive, the other part couldn't wait.
When I saw Lewis walk into the restaurant I thought that Isabelle had lost her nerve and decided not to come.
"I'm so glad you decided to come," he said coming over and shaking my hand. "You have no idea how much this means to Isabelle."
I couldn't think of anything to say so I just smiled nervously.
"Is she here?" Rupert asked excitedly.
"She's waiting outside, she wanted me to check that you still wanted to see her."
"Of course we do," Rupert exclaimed. "We wouldn't still be here if we didn't want to see her."
"Are you still sure?" Lewis asked taking hold of my arm. "You can still say no if you want to."
"No, I'm fine," I replied nervously. "I'm ready."
"Good," he replied. "But before I bring Isabelle in I wanted to apologise for the way I told you the truth. I didn't handle it in the way I should have done and I'm sorry for that. I put you in an impossible position."
"Don't worry Lewis," I replied, taking hold of his hand and squeezing it reassuringly. "I understand and I forgive you."
I smiled, staring deeply into his eyes, enjoying the feel of his hand in mine. But Rupert was clearly either uncomfortable or impatient because he cleared his throat noisily to get our attention.
"Shall I bring her in then?" He asked. "Do you want me to stay with you when you meet her?"
"Yes," I replied before Rupert could contradict me. "If you don't mind."
"Of course not," he replied. "I'll bring her in now then."
Both of us watched Lewis disappear out of the door, Rupert's eyes glistening with excitement and my hands shaking with nerves. When I saw the woman walking in beside Lewis I couldn't quite believe that she was my mother.
She wasn't what I had expected. I could see a lot of Rupert in her face but she had my red hair. She was slim with incredibly delicate limbs and moved with an elegance I hadn't expected. She looked just as nervous as I felt.
"Rupert, Evelyn," Lewis said nervously. "This is Isabelle."
Even Rupert didn't know what to say as the four of us looked at each other. None of us knew who should speak first.
"Hello," I said, breaking the silence. "I'm Evelyn."
"I can't believe how much you've grown up since I last saw you," Isabelle breathed, staring intently at me. "You're so beautiful."
Yet again I didn't know what to say so left it to Rupert to think of something this time. Eventually he introduced himself timidly and Isabelle smiled warmly at him, saying how glad she was that we had agreed to meeting her.
When we sat down a waiter came and took our orders, relieving the tension for a few moments; just long enough for me to relax. But as soon as the waiter left the tense atmosphere descended again.
"I'm sorry it's taken me so long to find you," Isabelle started. "I was so scared that you wouldn't want to see me. But then I found Lewis here and I knew now was the right time."
"Well I'm glad you decided to find us," Rupert said, smiling like the idiot he was and reaching across the table to take Isabelle's hand and hold it in a familiar way I couldn't deal with.
I could tell Lewis could feel my tension because moments later I felt his hand close reassuringly around mine and I felt a sudden wave of confidence come over me and I knew I wanted to do this and that everything was going to work out fine.

Rain and 'technical delay' end India's hopes of a victory as West Indies win series
India's hopes of levelling the series ended on a damp note after rain played spoilsport in the 2nd T20I at Florida on Sunday. Having won the 1st T20 by 1 run, West Indies won the series 1-0 as a 'technical delay' and the rain meant that the minimum number of overs required for D/L were not bowled.

A Secret Told
Lorden nearly guided a hand down to make Dagger more comfortable. For all the blackguard was worth, he wanted to at least be able to hear the truth from that pierced mouth. His mother…alive? The woman he'd spent so many hours wondering about. Did she have his eyes? Or maybe she had hair that was the complete opposite of his mop. Had she been kind? Sharp? A magic-user?
That was the dream.
"Ceridwen…" Dagger stumbled over the syllables.
"Ceridwen was my mother?" Frowning, Lorden shot Percy a glance—the maid was wearing the same expression of incredulity. "She can't be more than ten years older than me."
"No…you idiot…"
Great. Even at death's door, Dagger had enough gall to throw insults. Yet, the colour was seeping back into his cheeks, too.
Lorden leaned closer. "Ceridwen and my mother?"
"Yes… They were good friends—"
Before Dagger could spew another syllable, Lorden was knocked sideways. The wind spluttered from his chest, and he gasped before he hit the floor. A somebody with an endoskeleton of metal had smashed him down. He faintly heard Percy call his name.
As soon as the pain had winded him, it retreated. Ben's weeks of lessons were taking charge, and Lorden inhaled as he cast magic around his mind. Not only to block the coming attack, but also to power his determination to ignore the stinging from his left ribcage, just as Elenia had done in those first duels. He leapt to his feet, and stared at his assailant.
"Whitney?" cried Percy. She struggled against the arm the computer-human wrapped around her. Whitney's other hand reached for her blaster.
"What has she done?"
Lorden searched for some fragment of truth in Whitney's cold, computerised eyes. He found none. Not even a flicker of compassion.
"Percina Oakstaff, you are being kidnapped," she replied. As ever, her tone held nothing, like a canvas only waiting in agony to be painted.
"This is ridicul—" Lorden started, but Whitney had already bounded off down the street, Percy in her arms. The maid's screams called to be a trail for Lorden.
He cast one glance at Dagger—
The man was no longer a bleeding pile of useless on the floor. In fact, he was no longer on the floor at all. Dagger had vanished. In all Whitney's interruption, Lorden had forgotten about the one person he couldn't wait to rid of all power.
"Damn it! Can't I just have one person stay still for a minute?"
Why had he even agreed to heal the coward? For that truth. Yes, that Ceridwen had known his mother and father. About which, she'd said nought. But he had no time to be mad about that. Not when he'd lost Percy again.
She screamed, a tinny note that was cut off mid-way. Too, the note did not sound as distant as it had been a moment ago. Lorden sprinted down the lev-way, his arms and legs still scratched and bruised from the fall. His ribs still pounded from where Whitney had shoved him down. When he got his hands on her—
"Psst." The whisper sent not-uncomfortable ripples down his spine. He turned to its source, an alleyway off the lev-way barely big enough for two, let alone three people. Yet, that was where Percy and Whitney stood, expecting him to join them.
"It's a blind," the former told him, so quietly that she was almost mouthing the words.
"What?" Lorden whispered, ducking in. This close to Percy, his tongue felt as if it were stuck to the roof of his mouth.
"It's a blind. Whitney reckons Dagger set us up and planned to spring a trap on us. She got there in the nick of time."
"Yeah… That figures…" He sucked in the air, as Percy and Whitney blinked at him. Not kidnapper-captive style. "Dagger. He's gone."
"Oh, why did I heal him?" she cried. Underneath a voice full of anxiety, though, he recognised anger—an anger at him for pressing her.
"I'm sorry, Percy."
"Don't." She shook her head. "We don't have time for that."
"Yes," said Whitney, "I must escort you to a safe place until Dagger is convinced you are all eliminated."
"As if I am letting you escort us!" cried Lorden. This was ridiculous. "There are innumerable magic users underground awaiting my advice. I have to return. I have to lead them."
"Do you think you can?" asked Percy, with a hint of challenge in her voice. Lorden didn't blame her. After how he'd acted in the last half an hour.
"Safety," repeated Whitney.
Percy edged towards Lorden, and his stomach flipped as she rested a hand just above his elbow. "Whitney's right. If Dagger's set a trap for us, we need to vamoose out of here as soon as. The Underground's not safe at the moment. I bet every CTO is headed that way as we speak, and we can hardly stay out her." She gestured around. The Holt building a few blocks down was eerily silent, but Lorden knew that silence wouldn't keep them secure for long. "I think I know somewhere they won't look for a maggot, though."
"Fine," Lorden said. He trusted her judgement, though he hated to admit that much.
However, someone was missing. That Lorden knew, not from sight or counting the heads, but from the absence in his mind.
"The hell?" he cried, spinning in a circle. "Where is Elenia? Whitney, what did you do to her?"
"I did nothing," the computer-human replied, blinking once as she spoke. "My friend left after Dagger."

The model simulates a quarter of vehicle employing Simulink and Simscape.
20 Downloads
Updated 14 May 2011
The model simulates a quarter of vehicle employing Simscape. The input to the model is the road profile. The outputs are the displacement and velocity of the sprung and unsprung masses. The current model uses a chirp signal from 0 to 25Hz as road profile, in order to test the frequency response of the system.
In order to run the model, the Motor Drive Libraries for SimMechanics provided here are necessary: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27589-motion-driver-for-simmechanics
Said files are employed in order to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the road profile and utilize a Simscape Ideal Velocity Source as input to the model.
Hello Javier
Thank you for this submission.
I would like to know why you have added another sensor in between sprung mass and unsprung mass and is there any particular meaning behind 'Zdef'?
Hi Javier,
is it possible to add speed of the car as an another input along with road profile? If so, how?
Hi Javier!
how to build a half-car model with Simscape?
Hi Javier!
Very nice work.
Can you provide the model for active suspension system?
And the 1/128 is just the sampling rate at which the simulation is running.
Hi Jack.
1. I used the motion driver because of the way it calculates the derivatives. See the comments on the Motion Driver's link.
2. I am using a chirp signal in order see the frequency response of the system. In the resulting signals you should be able to see the resonance frequencies of the suspended and un-suspended masses. You can wire a different signal in order to simulate a bump or a road profile.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have other questions.
Javier, I saw your comments on other suspension systems from here.
Let me ask you something about this model:
1. Why do you use a Motion Driver? And why is the time constant=1/128 secs?
2. Why a Chirp signal as input? The results I obtain with my parameters are oscillatory for a displacement (Z_def) response even until a reasonable stabilization time.
Please, help me. Thanks.
