Chapter Seventeen
Buffy sat in her bed in the hospital looking down at the tiny bundle in her arms, amazed that she helped create such a beautiful creature. All the pain of labour was forgotten in the moment she set her eyes on her little girl, her tiny face, her little fingers and toes. She had Buffy's nose and chin, while her eyes were the same shape as Angel's. Buffy traced her fingertips across her daughter's tiny features and Buffy marvelled at the sight. The midwife and the nurses had left her alone with Angel and the baby at last. Dawn had left as well to allow them bond with their child. All the medical checks had been done and both mother and baby were perfectly healthy.
"I can't believe we made her," Angel said.
Buffy nodded. "Yeah – I mean I knew she was coming, but it's not the same as her actually being there."
"We should probably name her. We can't call her the baby forever."
"Good point," Buffy said, with a smile.
In the past few months and the lead up to the birth, they had gone through various child names books and failed to decide on a name. The one thing they had agreed on was that their child would have Buffy's surname.
"How about Joan?" she suggested.
Angel shook his head, "No! What about Mary?"
It was Buffy's turn to shake her head now. "Meh!"
"Alice," Angel said,
Buffy smiled. "I really like that. Could we give her Joyce as a middle name?"
"That's a wonderful idea," Angel replied.
They both gazed down at their daughter, Alice Joyce Summers.
An hour later, there was a knock on the door. Dawn and Michael walked in. Buffy laughed as she saw they were loaded down with gifts. Michael was carrying flowers and large envelope, presumably with a card inside, while Dawn was holding a teddy bear and a bag from Mothercare.
"I'm back," Dawn announced, heading over to the bed. "I brought presents."
Buffy rolled his eyes. "You don't say."
Dawn handed the teddy and bag to Angel. She held out her arms. "Come on, let me have a proper look at this little cutie."
"Alice, this is your Aunty Dawn," Buffy said.
Dawn scooped the child carefully from Buffy's grasp. "Aw, you named her at last."
"Congratulations." Michael presented Buffy with the bouquet of flowers and the card.
Buffy put the flowers on the table and opened the card. "Thank you."
Dawn was rocking Alice gently in her arms. "Good choice for a name. Alice is a lovely name."
"We gave her Joyce as a middle name," Angel added.
Buffy could see the tears well in Dawn's eyes and Buffy felt tears prick at the backs of her eyes too. How she wished her mother was here to see her grandchild. Angel reached for her hand and squeezed it. She shook off the feeling. This was supposed to be a happy day after all.
Buffy was exhausted and when a nurse came by to check on her, she insisted she be left alone to sleep. Michael and Dawn were shooed out by the nurse.
"We'll see you tomorrow," Dawn said as they walked out the door.
Angel tried to stifle a yawn.
"You should go home and get some sleep too," Buffy suggested. "Come back in the morning."
"Okay, but if you need anything you let me know."
He turned to leave. He got as far as the door before she called his name. He turned around to look at her.
Buffy smiled at him. "Angel, thank you for everything."
He blushed and she had to stifle a giggle. It was weird to see Angel blush. She was gratefulf for all the support he had given her over the past couple of months. Angel had insisted she have the best people looking after her and it was due to his money she was in a private room. She normally didn't like taking people's money, though as he had pointed out it was his duty to provide for his child. He waved at her before exiting the door and she closed her eyes in an attempt to sleep.
When Buffy woke the following morning, she was still drained as Alice had woken her several times in the night. She checked on Alice and smiled to see her still sleeping peacefully. She climbed back into her bed and closed her eyes. Sleep wouldn't come. After a few minutes of attempting sleep, she heard the door creak and she turned over on the bed to see her father in the doorway with a sheepish expression and bunch of flowers.
"Hi princess. Where's my new grandchild?"
Hank Summers was the last person in the world, except Spike of course, she would have expected to see. Buffy was so taken aback by his appearance that she was unable to form a response and he walked over to the bed and went to look in the cot, where Alice lay sleeping. She felt her anger rise at his unexpected appearance. The last time she spoke to him, in fact the only time she had spoken to him in years, he had only been able to spare her five minutes of his time. She had told him she was having a baby and he had acted as if he was puzzled as to why she was calling him. She had been inconsolable after the call, and now the asshole was acting as he had the right to barge back into her life despite his long absence and his apparent indifference.
Hank gazed at Alice before looking over at Buffy. "She's beautiful."
It was then Buffy finally managed to speak. "How did you find out?"
"Dawn," he replied. "I just knew I had to be here. She called me when you went into labour yesterday and I got the next available flight from Spain."
Buffy fixed him with a glare. "What makes you think I'd want you here?"
Hank froze at her words, the smile on his lips wiped away immediately. Serves him right, she thought.
Buffy continued, "You think you can just walk back into my life and start acting like a father when you feel like it. Giles is more of a father to me than you ever were. You can't imagine what it took me to make the phone call to try and reconnect with you, but you could barely spare me a few minutes."
Hank bowed his head. "I'm sorry, Buffy. I've been really busy. Can we start over, sweetheart?"
Buffy balled her fists angrily. She was on the verge of crying.
She took a deep breath to steady herself. "You were never there for me or Dawn when Mom died. I was barely more than a child myself and I had to look after Dawn and cope with providing for her. I couldn't do it and she went out of control for a while. I'm lucky she didn't go into care."
Hank's eyes were wide with horror.
Buffy knew she should stop but she couldn't. "And as for me, Dad, I was in a really dark place and did some terrible things you could never imagine. I hurt the people that loved me and I wanted the pain to end. Where were you then?"
Hank looked like he had been slapped and Buffy felt satisfaction that the selfish bastard might finally realise how the devastating impact his behaviour had on her life. She knew she was being cruel. All the things she had wanted to say to him over the years were finally coming out.
"You should leave," she said.
Hank shook his head. "Buffy, sweetheart. I am so sorry. I never realised."
He tried to put his hand on her shoulder. She shrunk away from him. He eventually got the message and stepped back from the bed.
A nurse entered the room. "I heard raised voices. Is everything ok in here?"
"Tell him to get out," Buffy told the nurse. "I don't want him here."
"But Buffy-" Hank protested.
The nurse took Hank by the arm. "I think you should leave, sir."
Angel came running in, wearing a concerned expression. "What's going on?"
Taking one look at a tearful Buffy and a shameful Hank, he ushered the man out of the door. When Angel came back inside, he rushed over to her and put his arms around her. She relaxed into his embrace and finally let out the tears that had been threatening to fall. She pulled herself together after a couple of minutes.
"I'm sorry I cried all over you." Buffy wiped her eyes.
Maybe she was being a little hard on Angel after all? She had been keeping him at a distance but that was going to be impossible now that they had a beautiful little baby to look after.
Buffy returned home with Alice and Willow moved in for a week to give her a chance to get settled. Willow encouraged her to gather up all of her and Spike's things and put them into boxes. She knew her friend was right. There was no point clinging to the memory of a broken relationship. She had a child to concentrate on now. Her broken heart would mend in time. She put the photographs, the jewellery and the stuff Spike had left behind into the attic. She held out hope for so long that things between them would be resolved, but she had finally come to terms with the breakup of their relationship. Spike was gone now and she had to deal. Buffy was going to be a single mother and she had to start behaving like an adult. Thinking on the whole situation with Spike now, Buffy knew he had been right. Angel was a part of her life for good now as he was the father of her child. How would Spike have coped with his presence in their lives? He wouldn't have been able to. The moment she had slept with Angel, she had ended their relationship even though she didn't know it at the time. The option of a termination was there of course and if she had done that then neither Angel nor Spike would have had to know. However, she would have known and she couldn't have dealt with that. Besides, there was always the possibility that the fact she slept with Angel could have come out anyway. She thought she was done with being normal when she finally admitted her feelings and hooked up with Spike. Yet, there was still this part of her that craved normal and you don't get more normal than having a family. Spike might think this was about wanting Angel's baby, but it's never been about Angel. Buffy was lucky she had her friends and sister to lean on. She didn't know what she would do without their support. Dawn had given her a lot of her books and a lot of practical advice. Willow was providing her with much needed chocolate and dropping by for girlie nights in with ice cream and movies. Xander had helped build a crib for the baby and decorate the room she was going to make into the nursery. Angel was a little put out when he had found out that Xander was helping her with preparations but graciously accepted it wasn't his house or business. Buffy and Angel had a lot of long talks about their relationship. He was talking about them moving in together somewhere but she wasn't keen. There was a thin line between living together and sleeping together. That confusion was the last thing she wanted to deal with.

By Chris Colston, USA TODAY
BALTIMORE After they swept up the "No Way Irsay" placards and the tailgaters headed home, Baltimoreans were left to study the stat sheet from the Ravens' 15-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and wonder, "What happened?"
Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had a miserable 39.6 passer rating (down from his 101 season mark), and his team failed to score a touchdown. Baltimore fans, stoked at the sight of the uniforms and nickname they used from 1953-83, roared until their throats turned sore.
But there would be no "Ravenge" for then-owner Robert Irsay's 1984 decision to move the Colts out of town.
Baltimore wide receiver Mark Clayton had a feeling the Ravens were sunk when kicker Adam Vinatieri's 51-yarder bounced atop the crossbar and plopped over to give the Colts a 9-3 lead.
"Daggone lucky horseshoe on their helmet," he said.
Baltimore's inability to generate anything offensively doomed it to failure. Four turnovers ended drives, and five times the Ravens completed third-down passes short of the first down.
"You can't sugarcoat it; we didn't play well," wide receiver Derrick Mason said. "Anytime you hold that offense to 15 points, you should win the game. We had too many turnovers. We hadn't played that way since the beginning of the season."
Baltimore's players seemed remarkably upbeat about their 13-4 season.
"There are a lot of positive things we can take from this," said safety Ed Reed, who delivered a postgame locker room address. "We've just got to learn from it, come back next year and win this thing, because it's going to be hell to pay."
To make another playoff run in 2007, though, the Ravens will first have to make important offseason decisions. Foremost involves outside linebacker Adalius Thomas, one of the league's best defensive players, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. Considering his versatility, Thomas is sure to draw plenty of interest.
Even if everybody returns, the Ravens aren't getting any younger. The two team leaders, linebacker Ray Lewis and quarterback Steve McNair, will be 32 and 34, respectively. Center Mike Flynn will be 33. Pro Bowl tackle Jonathan Ogden, will be 33 and might retire.
"People say the window (of opportunity) is closing, but it's not," Lewis said. "I think the window is just opening for the things we're trying to do."

I enjoy running, inline skating, hiking, kayaking, rafting, city walking, designing, building, travelling... My favorite thing to do when traveling is to walk entire cities, meeting people and sketching along the way.
I deeply value my health. Although I am in architecture school, I DO sleep and I love to leave the studio for running and exercise breaks.

Location: Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory
Project Number: 8042-32000-098-05-A
Project Type: Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Apr 14, 2010
End Date: Nov 30, 2014
The specific objectives of this agreement include Identify differentially expressed (DE) genes in blood in response to PRRSV infection; Determine putative gene sets and pathways that predict a pig's ability to clear PRRSV infection and maintain weight gain; and Validate utility of gene sets and pathways for prediction of responsiveness to PRRSV infections in multiple populations. Predictive blood tests of pigs with improved PRRS disease resistance and growth maintenance; increased understanding of mechanisms involved in pig responses to PRRSV infection; scientific publications.
Washington State University (WSU) will contribute to the first and third objectives. The first objective WSU will search public databases and use bioinformatic tools to examine the transcriptome of alveolar macrophages in response to PRRSV infection. This data will serve as a reference to determine what genes are expressed exclusively or predominantly in response to PRRS infection and compared to Michigan State University full transcriptome data. For the third objective, WSU will annotate specific porcine genes manually using comparative annotation procedures for retrieval of both cDNA and genomic DNA sequences of each gene identified in the second objective. WSU will then detect putative splicing forms in each of selected DE pig genes using three approaches – comparative analysis in mammals, EST evidence and PCR screening. The different sizes of products will be sequenced and the tentative splicing forms examined. Primers will be designed to target different splicing form and RT-PCR carried out to examine which form is most abundantly expressed in high or low responders to PRRSV infection.

Kingsport mother charged after 1-year-old ingests Suboxone
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - A one-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital and his mother is under arrest.
Kingsport Police say Emilie Rothert waited an hour and a half to seek help for her son after the boy ingested Suboxone, which is used to treat narcotic dependency.
Officers say Rothert told them a cat must have knocked the bottle off the windowsill, then when she wasn't looking he swallowed one of the pills.
Police tell us Rothert called the poison control center and they told her to take the child to the hospital immediately, but instead they say she waited an hour and a half before taking the child to a fire station. From there, he was taken to the hospital.
"This could have easily been deadly. This is a one-year-old child taking medication designed for an adult. Not only that, it's designed to help people addicted to narcotics, so it's a very serious medication," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Rothert was arrested and charged with child neglect.
Police say her son was released from the hospital and has been removed from her care by the Department of Children's Services.

- Q & a
i like these grips but would prefer an increased outside diameter. would type should i try?A:1" or 1 1/8" grips are the only other available sizes, though we may not carry them for this brand. However, if you have 7/8" handlebars, you will need to get 7/8" grips as 1" grips will not fit properly. Please go here to see our list of available 7/8" grips: https://www.british-customs.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=7%2F8%22+grips
If you want, you can upgrade to 1" or 1 1/8" handlebars but you may have to convert all of your controls to fit the new handlebars. We only recommend this if you are experienced with working on your motorcycle or plan to take it to a licensed mechanic.Customer Support answered on October 26, 2016

Agree. My brother in-law got his permit simply by having a nice chat with the local sheriff. I doubt he ever educated himself on things like lawful use for self defense, reciprocity, off limit places etc.
Lots of folks don't like the training requirement for a license because of the theoretical (and perhaps real) Constitutional issues. But as a practical matter, we all need to be responsible. And that means learning the laws.

Opps, I should have read all the post. Yeah that was the way I understood it CPL holders can borrow guns from other people but not the other way around.
In Oklahoma you qualify with either a derringer, revolver, or automatic. If you qualify with the automatic you can carry any of them. With the others only the other. Most instructors will loan you an auto so that you can carry whatever.
In TN, absolutely. A long time ago they had the rotten permit system where the gun you shot to get licensed was the only gun you were allowed to carry.
Thats not been the law for well over a decade now, HERE. MOST States did away with that when they went to a "Shall issue" system.
In Texas if you have your CHL it does not matter what or whose gun or guns you carry as long as it is concealed.

Wisconsin handles CCL people knowing the laws by including a copy of all CC laws with the license applications. that sheet has to be signed & included when you mail it in. That way they can get around the fact that some of us don't have to take the mandatory CC class due to Military Veteran or other status. There's no excuse from not knowing the law then.
We can carry any legal firearm or weapon without proof of ownership. We have no firearms registration here. I've carried my buddy's revolver my son's (my former) Glock 23 & 21 & of course my own handguns completely legally. In my view that's the way it should be.
My son, a cop, on the other hand must register any gun he wants to carry off duty other than his issued firearm with the PD.

The kind of law that says you can only use what's on your lic. is the dumbest thing in my opinion because in a emergency I would not like to look to make sure I can legally defend myself or family. IMO that puts a undue restriction on ones rights but again that's just me, just a minute I don't think my new gun is on my lic. let me check. Kinda like let me run to the other lock box to get ammo to load gun
If i remember correctly,in S.C. when they 1st started the CCP program,you had to carry what you qualified with.I'm glad they changed that.A friend of mine gives the CCP class and has a couple of 22's,he will let you use for the qualifying.

Allocation results for a multi-output process in a life cycle assessment study depend on the definition of the unit process which can vary with the depth of a study. The unit process may be a manufacturing site, a sub-process, or an operational unit (e.g. distillation column or reactor). There are three different approaches to define a unit process: macroscopic approach, quasi-microscopic approach, and microscopic approach. In the macroscopic approach, a unit process is the manufacturing site, while a unit process in the quasi-microscopic approach is a sub-process of the manufacturing site. An operational unit becomes the unit process in the microscopic approach.
In the quasi-microscopic and the microscopic approaches, a process can be subdivided into a joint process, a physically separated process which is physically apart from other processes, and a fully separated process. Each type can be a unit process. Therefore, the multi-output process in the quasi-microscopic and the microscopic approaches can be subdivided among two or more unit processes depending on the actual operations.
The allocation in the fully separated process can be avoided because this process fulfills one function. In the joint process and the physically separated process, which deliver two or more functions, allocation is still required.
Ammonia manufacturing, where carbon dioxide is formed as a byproduct is given to show a specific detailed example of the allocation procedure by subdivision in ISO 14041. It is shown that the quasi-microscopic and the microscopic approaches can reduce the multi-output allocation of a given chemical product. Furthermore, the quasi-microscopic and the microscopic approaches are very useful in identifying key pollution prevention issues related with one product or function.

Hi Girls,
If you are like me, you think the start of the project is way more exciting than the finish. I wake up in the morning with grand ideas in mind of what I want to accomplish each day. I get my day off to a super start and then as the day progresses, things don't seem so exciting any more.
It may be something as simple as I'm going to get all the laundry caught up today. I'm going to get all the sheets washed and towels plus everyone's laundry hamper will be empty and they will now have clean, folded and pressed clothes. Then somewhere along the line I think I'm too tired to iron, that will have to wait until tomorrow. So now I have clean yet wrinkled clothes staring me in the face. Ugh...just another thing on my to-do list for tomorrow. Another unfinished project. Why do we do this to ourselves? I know for me, I get bored or I get sidetracked. Sometimes, I tuck the unfinished project away and then I forget about it!
So today I decided to finish some of those projects that were staring at me. Today I re-screened our son, Tim's, window. He had gotten a hole in the screen and I had the material to finish this project for a several weeks but just hadn't finished it until today. The project actually only took me about 40 minutes.
I sewed up some holes in Katie's sleeping bag where some hot ashes from a camp fire blew onto her bag and burned holes in the nylon.
I re-sewed the waist on Emily's shorts.
For Mike, I made him a doctor's appointment for a follow-up. Those projects DONE!
Other than finishing the laundry which the last is now in the dryer, and fixing supper, I have one more project. Katie and I need to get her graduation announcements addressed and mailed out tonight. That will be a big accomplishment.
I'd like to challenge you. Take a notepad and go around the house seeing what unfinished projects you have that are staring you down. Lets tackle one of those projects this week. How about we even link up our accomplished projects.
This can be anything. Perhaps you finish a book you have only half read. Perhaps you finished a craft project. Whatever your half finished project is that you finish, share it and let us all hear about it! Lets cross one thing off our to-do list that has been there for a while and lets feel good about getting one thing off our plate!
I have one big project that has been facing me for weeks and I'm going to have you hold me accountable and do it this week. I am going to sew covers for my outdoor cushions. I only have three of them to do. I have had the fabric for several months. I'm going to do this!

It can be a push-pull stage, a single-ended one, a bridge, with transistors, FETs or valves, an emitter/source/cathode follower or common-emitter/source/cathode gain stage, class A, AB, D, H, etc. The thing is that you should know basic electronics to be able to design a simple circuit. Calculating in/out impedances is trivial (in an open-loop design), but it takes basic knowledge about how all devices work.
If you don't intend to be an electronics professional, at least study Ohm, Kirchhoff and Thevenin laws, then fundamentals of transistors, then amplification stages, then design of power amplifiers.
Without this, you'll struggle with non-working circuits and we won't even be able to explain why. Hint: your circuit's gain is about -22dB (or, considering the loss by the input Z, about -50dB) - it's an attenuator!
Best regards,

Thanks for the hint, I realised there must have been an issue with the gain for me to not be getting any thing out of the speaker. I hadn't realised it would be an attenuator. In the video I watched where this circuit was from, although it was used as a preamp and was followed by a power amp, it worked using all the same values, why does mine have negative gain whereas the other did not?
Thanks again for the response

Assume that your input capacitor is large enough that it has very little impedance at frequencies of interest - in this case anything above 82Hz, which is the fundamental of bottom E on a guitar.
Signal current flowing in through that cap sees three branches of circuit in parallel:
Through the 4k7 to ground
Through the 22k to the +ve supply rail, which to signals looks like ground (really).
Into the base of the transistor and then to ground. Because you have an emitter resistance in circuit, of value 100R, and because the transistor has substantial gain the resistance looking into the base terminal will be reasonably high. If the gain, hfe, of the transistor is, for example, 150, the resistance looking into the base of the transistor will be about 15k - the emitter resistance x hfe.
So, calculating 4k7 // 22k // 15k gives 3.08k - a bit lower than I guessed earlier, but I know I tend to over optimism.
The transistor's input impedance has been much increased by the emitter resistance, which provides negative feedback. Some types of feedback reduce input impedance, this one increases it.
Another effect of the negative feedback is that it reduces the gain, and distortion of the amp - with no load attached, the voltage gain of the stage will be roughly 1k / 100R, ie 10. But with an 8R load, voltage gain will fall to about 8R / 100R - 0.08 - not very loud at all!
To get the 0.5W output mentioned earlier, which might surprise you as to how loud it is (only 16 dB quieter than 20W) you need to get 2V RMS across an 8R speaker. Because a guitar signal is quite peaky, that means a peak voltage of something like 8V - or 16V pk-pk (others here will be able to give you a better idea on typical "crest factor" for guitar signal).
That's assuming you don't want to have it distorting at all

Alternatively, you could build a "stompbox". There's lots of info out there on those, and uhmmm, if you choose a distortion pedal as a project then many of the "mistakes" you might make in a preamp could be considered one of the "design goals".

Simon also answered the other question, why the circuit worked when used as a preamp followed by a power amp. Why does yours have negative gain whereas the other did not. You get attenuation because your output is connected to a low resistance speaker, but in the example where the power amp is connected it is not loading down the output of your transistor, so signal will have a modest gain.
Your first stage could be modified to get more voltage gain, and then a following stage could take that amplified signal and be designed to drive current into an 8 ohm load at 500 mW. That would be a real basic amp, which is good to start with.

Whilst a low wattage power amp doesn't have to be that complex, I'm feeling far too lazy to draw one up right now and I'll therefore throw my weight behind what others are suggesting (more or less):
Build a preamp, that will get your guitar signal up to "line level", for domestic gear that's -10dBV rms, which in volts is 316 mV rms (roughly!).
This would mean that you could test it out with one channel of a not-too-precious solid state hifi amp going into a guitar speaker, or a cheap powered computer speaker - my local computer shop gives those away.
Once you've got your preamp working you could use it to drive a chip amp, like a TDA2030, or just swipe the chip amp and power supply from the computer speakers......gets you a free volume control. If your A level is Product Design, not electronics, I don't see a problem with that at all.
For a guitar to line level preamp the requirements are:
High Z-in (input impedance) - in the range 470k to 1M
20dB gain (ie 10x voltage gain)
Medium Z-out - 600R is quite fine.
Given these, look at this:
Ritter preamp
This circuit uses a fet as the input device, so it has inherently high input impedance. R4, R5 and C1 form a feedback network. The feedback fraction is R4/(R4+R5), so roughly 1/30, and that defines gain as roughly 30x, which is also roughly 30dB. The feedback also lowers the output impedance substantially, but connecting it to a speaker might overload and destroy the output device Q1.
I'd drop R1 down to 1M or even 470k for guitar use, bit less noise with nothing plugged in and easier to get the part.
Only one cap is shown, but you'll need an output coupling cap connected to point A - the value will depend on what impedance it works into. The higher the impedance, the lower the value required. Too low a value will lose you bottom end.
It'd probably be a good idea to have an input coupling cap too, though this can be smaller than the output cap. Say you make R1 470k, and maybe one day you might want to put a bass through it, so let the -3dB low frequency cut-off point be at 20Hz. Then you'd want to choose your input coupling cap to have a reactance of 470k at 20Hz.
The formula for capacitive reactance is "Xc = 1 / (2 x Pi x F x C)" so for -3dB at 20Hz, you want Xc = 470k, swap the equation round and you get:
C = 1 / (2 x Pi x 20 x 470,000)
C = 17nF
next bigger preferred value is 22nF, so use that.

Two or three stages
I agree with all of the other posts and I would say that a decent class A-B amp for this purpose would be a three stager. They are fairly simple to build unless you want perfection, which is very hard to achieve. I have built a few of these with great results. You will need some feedback from the output stage to increase gain in the middle section, and you will need to be careful to control oscillations by shunting hf signals to ground with a few small caps, but it can be done. Power supply will have to be robust to really give you any appreciable power. Probably something like + and - 18V and capable of 3 amps max current. Gain staging is really key and the two transistors that will be driving the output pair have to be closely matched, as well as the output pair to a certain degree.

Right I have been trying some stuff out. I have a question now to do with the biasing potential divider circuit. I was trying to bias it with roughly 3V (that's about enough right?) and I used a 22k and a 47k to start with (will alter them for impedence later) wich gave me just less than 3V when I calculated it from a 9V supply, and worked out about right in practice. However, When i added the transistor in, the drop across the lower went to the 0.7Veb and the upper resistor went to the remaining 8V ish. Now I know the transistor set the 0.7V itself, but why does this then alter the divider voltages? I know this is a simple question, but I can't work this one out -_-
Any suggestions would be great,
Cheers, Callum

Great colors, but will wrinkle!
The colors are very pretty. They are a little more muted than what appears on my computer screen; Greens are more of a sage, leaf and citron. I really like the duvet cover and am keeping it because of the colors (I had a color palette in mind and this fit the bill), BUT there are two things buyers should be aware of: 1. The fabric is not very soft. It MIGHT get better with a number of washings, but I've only washed once. I'm using in a 2nd bedroom and, well, thankfully one sleeps in between sheets rather than on the duvet cover. 2. After washing and drying, the fabric gets VERY wrinkled. The duvet in my bedroom does this too, and I'm fine with it... but if that will drive you nuts, be prepared to whip out the iron.

Going along with Tour de France cycling tradition, I've listed each competition within each stage as an "intermediate sprint" (one post versus another) along with the description provided by the blog author when the post was submitted.
Also, if applicable, I will give a brief description of the stage of the Tour de France that took place the same day as (or that has happened since the previous Stage of) the competition.
How to Vote
You can vote for the two articles (one from each intermediate sprint) you'd like to see proceed in the Tour by commenting in the comments section below and telling which are your favorites. I've listed a keyword after each post title to make it easy to vote (as a made-up example, you can just comment: Sprint 3: Mutual; Sprint 4: 401k, etc.)
Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two! Criteria for the best article is completely up to you, but you can use these factors as a guide: 1) post of your favorite blogger, 2) most interesting post, 3) most thought-provoking post, 4) most unique post, or 5) most actionable post. Here are today's competitions:
Voting will continue until July 4th for this Stage!
Intermediate Sprint #3
- Build Your Own Berkshire with Dividend Paying Stocks (Dividend): Warren Buffett is the greatest investor of all times. Few realize that he is a closet dividend investor, because he buys assets that produce excess cash flows. These excess cash flows provide him with the capital to invest in more income generating assets, thus snowballing his net worth exponentially. Dividend stocks deliver a rising stream of rising passive income, which makes them ideal for investors who need to live off their portfolios and for those who want to emulate Buffett's success in investing.
- My Life Insurance Mistake (Mistake): Get an inside look at my encounter with the seedy underbelly of the life insurance sales world. Learn from my mistakes so that when the time comes you can avoid getting suckered into a bad deal.
Intermediate Sprint # 4
- 7 Habits of Wealthy People (Habits): Have you ever wondered what it takes to be wealthy? If you want to be rich then you need to imitate successful people. Here are 7 habits of wealthy people that will help you start building wealth today!
- Why Your Mind Wants To Make Bad Financial Decisions (Decisions): There is actually a psychological trigger that motivates you to make bad financial decisions, and everyone is affected. In this post, we brought in psychological expert Sophia Dembling to get a better idea of the trigger that actually suppresses logic and reason, and pushes you in the wrong direction.
Tour de France Daily Recap
The Tour de France in real life continued today with Stage 3, taking the riders 146 km from Ajaccio to Calvi on the island of Corsica. It was another medium-mountains stage, with a 60-rider peleton coming to the finish line together. Sprinter Simon Gerrans took the Stage's sprint only a half-wheel ahead of famous sprinter Peter Sagan to win the Stage. Since the whole peleton came in together, the winner of yesterday's Stage, Jan Bakelants, holds on the Yellow Jersey in to the team time trial tomorrow around Nice. Should be fun!
I've really been enjoying my "all access" subscription to viewing the Tour de France on NBC Sports. It was only $29.99, and has already provided me with HOURS of entertainment! haha You can watch the Stages live as they happen, or go back and view completed Stages if you missed something!

If you file a lawsuit and lose the case, you can appeal the decision to the next highest court, which is called the appellate court. Appellate lawyers often specialize in arguing appeals; that is, they specialize in arguing why the decision of the lower court was wrong (or why it was right, for the party that won). Appellate attorneys specialize in appeals because they understand the specific and detailed rules that must be followed. It is possible to lose an appeal on technicalities, even when the law is on your side. If you want to appeal the outcome of the trial court, or if you need to argue against another person's appeal, you should work with an appellate attorney.

Andre Ward has become new light-heavyweight champion after beating Sergey Kovalev in one of the most closely fought bout in recent history where although result shows a unanimous win but all three judges scored the fight at [114-113], [114-113] and [114-113].
When Andre Ward takes on Sergey Kovalev for the unification light-Heavyweight bout this Saturday, 19th November 2016 at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, we will have our undisputed pound for pound champion after the fight. There is hardly any fight out there which generated this much interested since Mayweather-Pacquiao and HBO will be producing PPV on Saturday night. There are several undercard fights (none to be excited about) but its the main-event which has boxing fans waiting eagerly. If you missed the live action, you can always watch fight highlights right here on this page.
Short Preview: Andre Ward made his name several years ago in that Super Six tournament where he defeated the likes of Mikkel Kessler, Carl Froch and Arthur Abraham but since than his career has been stalled due to off the ring promotional disputes. He moved to light-heavyweight earlier in the year and produce couple of quality performances but this without a shadow of a doubt his biggest test yet in his otherwise undefeated career. What is more interesting is both fighters coming into this bout with similar records, Sergey Kovalev himself is undefeated and widely considered as the best light-heavyweight out there.
There are three undercard fights including, Oleksandr Gvozdyk taking on Isaac Chilemba in light-heavyweight elimination bout while Curtis Stevens fight James de la Rosa in middleweight category followed by Maurice Hooker taking on Darleys Perez for super light-weight. So the night is all set for boxing fans and it is a great way to end the 2016 with probably the biggest and potentially most competitive bout of the year.
Andre Ward is challenging, Sergey Kovalev for all his three light-heavyweight belts including (WBA, IBF and WBO). Ward already has WBA Super middleweight title which is not at stake. The fight coverage is suppose to begin at around 09:00 pm ET with HBO broadcasting the fight live in the USA via PPV priced at around $59.95 while UK viewers can watch the fight live on SkySports.
However if you don't have access to live coverage you can always follow live updates and results on this page followed by short fight highlights incase there is a knockout.

I believe 'bad foot' is an understatement, and the tortoise isn't my 'pet' any more than he's your welcome mat. Though if you keep calling him a turtle he might take it in his head to plant himself down for a good long while, even if your face gets melted off right on top of him.
Maybe you should take it up with your mystery tyrant employers and explain to them how you can't even problem-solve around an old tortoise at the door, I'm sure they'd think it a right good asset for a well-rounded employee to not think beyond shoving, complaining, and foul-mouthed language.
Most unimpressed,

London, July 6 : Long before Cristiano Ronaldo, Spanish footie ace Sergio Ramos had got his hands on the Man U player's ladylove Nereida Gallardo.
A pal of Gallardo's revealed that Cristiano has no clue of the stunner's past relationship with the Portugal ace.
"Cristiano doesn't know Nereida's already slept with one of Real Madrid's top players," News of the World quoted the pal, as saying.
"He's a jealous guy and she's kept it a secret from him because it's something in her past. Sergio's a bit of a joker and the last thing she wants is him welcoming Cristiano to Madrid by announcing he's already tackled his girlfriend," the pal added.
Nereida, 24, started seeing Ronaldo, 23, in January, but scored with Sergio, 22, earlier in November, after they met in Madrid nightclub Joy Eslava.
The pal said: "Sergio was there with two friends and they and Nereida's mates all ended up back at his house. Sergio was all over Nereida and ended up leading her by the hand into his bedroom.
"Nereida didn't go into details afterwards, but she made it clear to all her friends that they didn't talk about football or count sheep."
The pair has since stayed in touch-as friends.
"Sergio rang her to wish her all the best when he heard she was going out with Cristiano and they've chatted a couple of times on the Internet," said the pal.

The unbeaten leaders' run of seven successive wins represents the best Premiership start to a season by any club since Newcastle claimed 12 on the bounce in 1997 but Saracens came desperately close to losing their 100% record, hanging on for a 12-11 verdict against struggling Bath at the Recreation Ground.
Venter said: "That game could have gone either way, but whatever the result, it wouldn't have changed how courageous our approach was."
He added: "Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong in the second half, but the guys kept going. It was courage and determination - they fought it out."
Venter's men looked to be in the driving seat at half-time, leading 12-3 through tries by flanker Andy Saull and wing Noah Cato.
But Bath, without a home victory in any competition since April last season, dug deep to guarantee a nerve-shredding climax when skipper Michael Claassens touched down three minutes from time.
Saracens, though, despite having substitute prop Rhys Gill sin-binned just before a nine-minute spell of injury time began, left the West Country with another four points.
Venter took issue with referee Chris White's decision to yellow-card Gill, who was cautioned for appearing to knock the ball out of Claassens' hands having not retreated 10 metres.
Venter added: "It was not a sin bin at all. They milked it, and you can lose a Premiership game like that.
"I spoke to Rhys afterwards, and he said he didn't touch the Bath player."

Trading contracts for difference is becoming a popular method to trade the major markets. Trading CFD's allows one to use leverage to trade much larger position than traditional stock market investing which can be a double edged sword. One of the most respected providers of CFD trading systems is Plus500. However, there are also alternatives which are worth noting. Let us look at what many consider to be the four popular alternatives to Plus500 as well as a handful of the features that are provided to clients.
Best alternative: ETX Capital
(Regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority, UK #124721)
This London-based electronic trading platform was first established in 2002 and since then, it has been very respected by both novice and professional traders alike. It should therefore come as no great surprise that ETX Capital provides CFD trading systems as well as other options. There are four different sectors which can be catered to through ETX. These are:
- Indices
- Commodities
- Equities
- Currency pairs (Forex)
It is also important to note that there are a variety of subcategories within each of these sections. For instance, commodities include precious metals, energy segments and soft commodities (wheat, soybean and oats are a few). In the same respect, traders can take up positions within some of the largest markets in the world including the UK 100, the France 40 and the Germany 30. Forex pairs include popular currency relationships such as USD/GBP, EUR/GBP, USD/JPY and EUR/USD. Other worthwhile tools at the disposal of all clients are automated trading algorithms, market commentaries, guaranteed stop-loss orders and mobile-friendly architecture. ETX Capital is an excellent platform for experienced investors and those who may be new to CFD positions.
AvaTrade is a Dublin-based company that was founded in 2006. This firm has consistently scored very high in terms of flexibility and customer service. A minimum deposit of $100 dollars (or the equivalent currency) is required to activate an account. Miniature accounts, demonstration accounts, VIP accounts and segregated accounts all support CFD traded. Current investment portals include Meta Trader 4, Meta Trader 4 mobile, ACT and AVA Mobile Trader. Much like ETX Capital, AvaTrade provides its customers the ability to embrace CFD positions. The primary categories which are currently offered include:
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Commodities
- Indices
- ETFs (electronically traded funds)
It is also important to mention here that leverages of up to 200:1 are provided on all CFD positions. While this is an excellent means to maximise one's profit margins, losses can be just as profound. Any leveraged position should only be utilised after the risks are well understood.
Spreads will vary and these will primarily depend upon the asset that is being traded. Some spreads are as low as 0.3 pips although these are liable to change. It is wise to consult their online trading conditions portal to learn more as well as to note any updated figures. A few other benefits in regards to AvaTrade include a compatibility with both Windows and iOS mobile devices, chart-based trading, one-click execution orders and demonstration accounts.
Claiming to be the largest online trading platform within Australia, Pepperstone has been a favourite of investors for years. While suited for novice traders, Pepperstone themselves state that they specifically cater to institutional clients. Their CFD options revolve only around indices (as opposed to some other online portals). However, they also deal with the largest indices in the world such as:
- The France 40 Index
- The EU Stock 50 Index
- The UK 100 Index
- The US SPX 500 Index
- The US Tech 100 Index
This wide choice of indices provides investors with the ability to hedge one CFD position against another in real-time; critical to mitigate losses during unexpected market conditions.
Pepperstone is also known for their extremely low margin requirements. These are frequently associated with larger trades. Once again, margins should only be used after an in-depth appreciation of the risks as well as the potential rewards involved. A few other benefits to note are daily margin limits, the ability to activate a demonstration account and no less than $50,000 dollars (Australian) in funds once this account is confirmed.
eToro is another very well-known electronic trading platform. Currently based out of Limassol, this firm is advantageous in the fact that only %50 dollars (or the foreign currency equivalent) is required to establish a live trading account. It is also worth pointing out that eToro specialises in CFDs attached to blue-chip stocks within various markets. This system is one of the most liberal in terms of the instruments which are offered to the client. Some prime examples can be seen in flexible options such as:
- Guaranteed stop-loss orders.
- Guaranteed limit orders.
- Islamic accounts.
- Email and mobile phone alerts.
- A compatibility with Mac OS, iOS, Windows and Android operating systems.
With low spreads and no hidden fees, any profits (or losses) which may be incurred are absolutely clear from the beginning. This is not often the case with other trading platforms. This company uses its own proprietary software. The three options are eToro OpenBook, eToro WebTrader and eToro Mobile Trader.
One a final note, social trading is highly encouraged by eToro. Streaming news feeds, commentaries and the ability to follow the most successful investors can give a novice client the advantages that he or she requires to succeed.
These are four excellent alternatives to Plus500 in terms of trading contracts for difference. While their advantages are clear, past performance does not necessarily indicate future results. CFD trades are not without their fair share of risks. Any investor needs to appreciate this concept before entering into the world of online trading.
