strike is very short personal project from my side to actually find out how the combination of sportsbike and trike look alike.
strike is actually a concept design mixture of two categories vehicle . you probably realize the resemblance between sportsbike and trike , Because this trike is totally inspired by the sports bike in terms of stance , sitting position ,clip on handle bars etc. with a base of three wheel trike . This strike uses the KTM LC8 – DUKE 990 engine with totally different aesthetic design approach.

$$ — 54.1% ABV — 6 to 12 years
It's unlikely for an American not to at least be aware of Wild Turkey Bourbon. It's cemented in the top 5 best-selling Bourbon distillers alongside Jim Beam, Jack Daniel's, Evan Williams and Maker's Mark — but, even though it's nowhere near the oldest Bourbon around, somehow Wild Turkey feels the most star-spangled.
Named for a fateful turkey-hunting trip, an Austin Nichols Imports exec brought along some whiskey made at the Ripy Distillery. Soon after, he got requests from his friends for "some of that wild turkey whiskey." America's #2 bird (behind the bald eagle, of course) proved to be so popular, Nichols bought the distillery.
Wild Turkey has since become one of the most ubiquitous whiskey brands; it's always somewhere in the Country Top 100 or a Stephen King novel or an episode of NCIS. That's rather apropos, because Wild Turkey is also about as stereotypical a Bourbon as you can buy. Imagine the way American whiskey tastes, and that's basically Wild Turkey: corn-sweet and vanilla-oak, with a little spice on the finish.
Some fans argue Rare Breed doesn't beat Wild Turkey 101, which hedges closely to the original 8-year-old expression. Either is good for just about any use: spike your beans, build a cocktail, or just sip it on the rocks. To each his own, but Rare Breed's slightly minty taste and barrel strength makes it a greatly favored choice for highballs.
Wild Turkey is located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky in the Southern USA. Established in 1855 by the Ripy family, it is now owned by Gruppo Campari.

As you grow grey and old, you tend to go back in time towards infantry more and more. Aged people are like babies. You cannot just assume that they will be just another family member in your house that you can live your life with every day. Older people have a lot of complex problems that need to be monitored constantly. Therefore, you should look for care services for the aged.
Care1's Focus on Services For The Elderly
The care providers called Care1 in Australia have the following as a part of the much more services they will provide for the families who send their senior family members to their care programs:
1. Dementia Care. Dementia is a special type of a chronic mental disorder that is found in majority of the elderlies. As the age grows older, it is highly likely for the person to have a short-term memory loss where they can't remember recent events, temporary personality disturbances where they do not act like themselves and illogical arguments.
2. Palliative Care. Older people usually have pains that are not related to any illness. As the body cells get older and cell division becomes slower, new cells are not generated as faster which results in various pains which need to be dealt with immediate pain relievers.
3. Wound Care. Wounds at an older age can be very difficult handle. They need special treatment and need to be constantly monitored. Bandages need to be constantly changed and the wound needs to be periodically tended with care. They can take a long time to recover and need to be watched so that it does not get worse.
4. At an age like this, social support is very important. The elderly like to feel part of a society to not feel left out. At Care1, they have an interactive environment for the social needs of all the elderlies over there.

This move has also pushed SODA into breakout territory since the stock has taken out $36.09. Traders should now watch for the next major breakout trade to trigger. That trade will hit once SODA takes out some near-term overhead resistance at $37.95 to $38.80 with high volume. Traders should look for long-biased trades if SODA can maintain a move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above 1.1 million shares.

Budget 2013: company car tax changes
- Changes to low-emission car taxation
- Electric and plug-in hybrid cars affected
The Government has introduced changes to the Benefit-in-Kind system in an effort to encourage the use of low CO2-emitting vehicles.
Primarily affecting those driving cars emitting less than 75g/km, there's a pair of new company car tax bands set to be bought in from April 2015.
The first is for cars emitting between 0 and 50g/km, and those cars will be in for company car tax at 5% in 2015/2016, rising to 7% in 2016/2017.
The second band is for cars emitting between 51g/km and 75g/km will incur tax at 9% for 2015/2016, rising to 11% in 2016/2017. In 2017/2018 there is going to be 3% difference between the two new tax bands, while in 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 there will be a 2% difference between the two and between 51-75g/km and 76-94g/km bands.
The changes will affect only those cars which emit very low CO2 levels. For example, the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid with its 8% tax for this year will be taxed the same each year until April 2016, at which point its tax will rise to 10%.
Also announced was the fact that from now on the Government will be giving Benefit-in-Kind taxation figures at least three years in advance.

Universal Corporation (UVV), together with its subsidiaries, operates as a leaf tobacco merchant and processor worldwide. It engages in selecting, procuring, buying, processing, packing, storing, supplying, shipping, and financing leaf tobacco for sale to, or for the account of, manufacturers of consumer tobacco products. This dividend champion has increased distributions for the past 40 consecutive years. The latest dividend increase was in November 2010, when the company raised distributions by 2.10% to 48 cents/share.
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 6.60% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver an average increase in EPS of 3.70% per year since 2000. Analysts expect Universal Corporation to earn $4.60 per share in 2011.
The company's return on equity has been on the rise since reaching a bottom in 2006. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 4.60% per year since 2000. A 5% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every fifteen years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1994, we would see that Universal Corporation has actually managed to double its dividend payment every sixteen years on average.
The dividend payout ratio has increased slightly over the past decade, having exceeded 50% in 2006 and 2007. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently, Universal Corporation is attractively valued at 8 times earnings, yields 4.90% and has a sustainable dividend payout. I would continue monitoring the stock and will consider adding to a position in the stock on dips.

I've tried all the team messaging tools out there, and I think that this is by far the most effective, elegant one there is. It integrate with all the other services you could possibly use like Github and Asana, and they're probably going to implement even deeper integration now that they've raised a large round of funding.

When Joan Murphy was a sporty teenager, she had to wear tiny athletics pants to compete in the pole vault. "Try and go upside down in a pair of pants in front of a whole stadium" she says. Humiliating at the time, the mortification ultimately paid off: when it came to collaborating with smart high street brand Whistles, New Zealander Murphy and her Frame fitness studio co-founder Pip Black knew what women were looking for in sportswear.
"The whole collection is stuff you'd wear out. You feel as comfortable on the street as you would in the studio," says Murphy. She's wearing a grey jumpsuit from the collection when we meet at their Shoreditch base.
"We wanted something that looks great, fits well and when you're upside down in a yoga class, it doesn't fall over your head," adds Black, in a voice that suggests she's suffered this indignity. "Zips always look great, and then you lie down on your back and have one sticking into your bum. We made sure we covered all those elements."
The former advertising executives turned fitness entrepreneurs certainly know their audience. The pair — who met through mutual friends on a surfing trip in Cornwall in 2007 —founded their first studio in Shoreditch in 2009, and now have a second in Queen's Park. There are plans for "several more" before the end of the year.
Everything is done with busy, working women in mind: from the pay-as-you-go business model, to the class duration (30 or 45 minutes), to the "forgot your kit" box in the studio. "Last Christmas, people used it because they didn't want to carry sweaty gear out to the party," says Murphy. I remark that's intuitive: "If I were in an office I wouldn't want to carry it around," she shrugs. Still, it counts as innovation in an industry that considers free towels a privilege worth the exorbitant monthly fees.
Most importantly though, Frame's is an accessible approach to fitness: classes are pitched at working women, regardless of age or fitness level, and the names are fun and knowing. "Bend it like Barbie", "Bridal Bootcamp" and "Get Leggy" are staples on the Shoreditch calendar.
The collaboration with Whistles is their first sportswear collection. It's a 13-piece collection of "street to studio" clothes. Prices range from £35 to £80; the campaign has been shot on models they cast on Instagram. "One of the ladies is a mum, one is a jewellery designer, one is a sales events manager," says Black. "Not everyone is a yoga teacher — in fact, only one is. Everyone will find the person in the campaign with whom they identify."
It might sound radical or, far worse, gimmicky but in fact it's consistent with Frame's approach. "We don't use models in any of our campaigns," says Murphy. "We're careful about how we promote and how we talk about things. It's pretty easy in this industry to fat-shame or play on people's insecurities. We try to avoid that like the plague. Sometimes it's really hard not to: but we are our demographic, we know that stuff's hard enough. You don't need any extra pressure."
They are also very opposed to Instagram "fit-shaming" (or, the overload of images of green juices and post-workout selfies and impossible trapeze classes). "Women are bombarded with media and they're just not sure what to believe," says Murphy.
So what do they think of the Protein World ad that fuelled a blaze of righteous rage, leading to a feminist protest in Hyde Park and rebuttal ads from companies including Dove? Here, they're more pragmatic. "What I don't get is you're reading through ELLE or Vogue, and the people they're using to sell their clothes are way skinnier than the girl on that billboard," says Black. "She was healthy, she looked good." Murphy adds: "I don't understand why they got picked on — so many people do adverts like that."
Ultimately, theirs is an inclusive approach — Frame celebrates fit and healthy women. Furthermore, both Black and Murphy have wider ideas about women in sport, advocating an approach that targets women early, shows them a wide range of options, and then keeps them involved for life.
Black praises Sport England's This Girl Can campaign, which showed real women looking sweaty doing real workouts, rather than slender models in tropical terrains holding a tennis racket in a limp, manicured hand.
Black, a former England hockey player, suggests that schools should introduce yoga. "Some people just aren't good at sports. Some of my friends couldn't hit a hockey ball, it was a horrible hour for them," she says. "And we need to start designing some decent PE kit!" laughs Murphy. "This can be our new project!"
It's not just the kids — it's mothers too. This week, half-term, they've been running dance classes for teens at their Queen's Park studio (the area is one of London's well-heeled Nappy Valleys). They're both mothers — Murphy to a one-and-a-half-year old, and Black to a nine-month-old, both boys — and before Murphy had her son, she started Frame Bumps: an exercise class for active women who wanted to keep up exercising while pregnant. "There's always been pregnancy yoga and Pilates, but no one really does the fitness side. Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't do things."
Black points out that we need to address the message "up the food chain, with midwives and doctors who don't have any training about whether it's OK to exercise", and thus err on the side of caution with their advice.
They've certainly noticed a shift, though. "The numbers in two years have doubled," says Murphy. She suggests this is because some of Frame's earliest adopters are now having children. Indeed, while I'm waiting to meet them, I spot a woman in Lycra breastfeeding in the reception area. "There's a massive project there which we will take up and sort out," says Black.

Female empowerment isn't their first revolution: Frame was on the crest of London's big health kick in the late Noughties. The industry has grown hugely in half a decade — spawning esoteric classes and boutique studios to match. Figures published by the Leisure Database Company state that in 2014 the health and fitness industry was worth more than £4 billion; with more than eight million members. This means big money —especially as it moves away from the monthly subscription model, and intersects neatly with the lucrative fashion and health food industries, meaning there's more to be made in collaborations and pop-ups.
Fashion has been having a fitness moment for several seasons: every editor does fashion week in box-fresh kicks, and designers including Stella McCartney and Richard Nicoll have created sportswear ranges — with adidas and Sweaty Betty respectively.
Frame is onto it: the Shoreditch studio has an on-site shop selling Hemsley + Hemsley cookbooks and lululemon yoga kit, and has published its own nutrition e-book.
So where next? As well as more studios, there's a lifestyle website, with diets, recipes, clothing advice, style and music. "Those are the things making the fitness world really exciting."
And wealthy, no doubt. Still, as they've proved, if anyone can get London moving, these girls can.

Chelsea confirmed on Friday they had given the Eastlands club permission to speak to the England left-back over a possible move and Hughes revealed he was optimistic of concluding the deal in the next 24 hours.
He said: "My understanding is the clubs have agreed a fee."
He added: "We need to speak to the boy and try to agree personal terms.
"If we can do that hopefully Wayne will be a Manchester City player, that's the aim."
Hughes is reported to have a transfer kitty of around £60million at his disposal this month and Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari admitted Bridge could head north if the price was right.
"If they have a good deal, it is no problem for me," said Scolari.
"But it is best you ask (chief executive) Peter Kenyon as he knows everything that is happening.
"If any club wants to buy a player from Chelsea, they have to offer big money because if they play for Chelsea they are very good players.
"When a club wants one player from Chelsea my advice is offer but don't offer less, offer big, because Chelsea is a very big club and has fantastic players."Reuse content

How has it been so far at Loganville?
Storm Johnson -" It has been really nice to be there. They welcomed me with open arms and everybody has told me how glad they are that I am there. I told them I happy to be here and looking forward to making the program better in anyway I can."
I know it had to be a tough decision to leave a school like Buford.
Storm Johnson -" It was, but my parents had a better opportunity in Loganville so we moved there. I am happy to be here."
I understand you picked up two big offers in the last 24 hours?
Johnson -" Oh yes sir, I got offers from Florida State and West Virginia."
I imagine that Loganville high school coach Eric Godfrey had a very good Tuesday morning. Not too many times in your coaching career do you get to coach a running back of this caliber, much less have one transfer into your district.

From Our Editors
After graduating from Capilano University's cinematography program in 2005, Alex Waber decided to freeze his motion-picture sensibilities into non-moving pictures. Using the knowledge he gained during his post-Capilano photography studies at Focal Point, he's led a distinguished career capturing striking eye-level portraits of actors, designers, and drag kings, and producing gripping fashion editorials and long-exposure, movement-oriented creative work, some of which has been featured in various publications and galleries throughout Vancouver. During photo shoots, Alex harnesses his unique blend of motion- and still-picture experience to tastefully immortalize his model's images onto digital images, canvas prints, and pieces of toast.

What is a Certified Resident?
A resident who lives at the property and has completed a resident satisfaction survey.
Advertising properties provide a list of email addresses of its residents to Kingsley Associates, a third party market research firm, who then sends out the satisfaction survey to the residents. Properties may also conduct satisfaction surveys of its residents through other third party market research firms. In those cases, we will publish those survey responses as long as the questions conform to our standard survey format.
Because reviews are from Certified Residents, and are managed by a third party, you can feel confident that the feedback provided is accurate and trustworthy.

Dear Friends,
It is my privilege to serve as the Chair of the Board of Directors for United Way of Southern Cameron County this year. United Way has had a special place in my heart since I first became a United Way volunteer several years ago.
Today's United Way of Southern Cameron County bears little resemblance to the organization our parents might remember. Back in those days, United Way's role in the community revolved around raising money and distributing it to local charities. It was an efficient way to support many charities with one gift by "giving at the office." While we still run a huge community campaign and most people still support United Way of Southern Cameron County through workplace giving, our role in the community has changed dramatically.
United Way realized that no matter how much money we raised and distributed to support charitable programs, there would never be enough money to actually solve the problems causing people to need those programs in the first place. We needed to dig deeper and uncover the underlying causes of community conditions and mobilize our community to work on root causes in addition to their effects.
Now, in the second decade of this millennium, United Way fights for the education, financial stability and health of every person in every community.
United Way recruits people and organizations who bring the passion, expertise and resources we need to get things done. Sometimes it takes money to solve a problem. Sometimes it takes relationships and getting the right people in the room at the same time. Sometimes it takes policy change at the local, state or national level. But every solution has one thing in common—people working together.
We invite you to be part of the change. You can give, you can advocate and you can volunteer. That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Amanda Sampayo
Board Chair, 2016-17

When you search for the best tips to help you rank a whole site or any particular article, then you will find a number of different ways to do so.
Some will suggest working on On-page SEO optimization, some would suggest focusing on off-page optimization while some would recommend you to focus more on social media.
But there is one particular thing that everyone will recommend you to focus on to rank an article. And that thing is long tail keywords!
Long tail keywords are very important when it comes to ranking a blog or an article.
The reason behind this is if you are trying to target a short keyword like "blogging" and you think that you can rank it then you are wrong.
But if you use long tail keywords like "best blogging tips 2017" or "what are the best blogging tools" then ranking for such terms is comparatively easy.
If you are in the blogosphere for some time now then you would know that Google has been changing the search algorithm again and again by introducing new penalties like Google Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird.
In a way, these penalties are doing a really good work of filtering out the search results to give you the best answer to the query you search for instead of giving you results that are just spam.
But even when you provide the highest quality article with long-tail keywords as your targeted keyword, there is a very good chance that you might get penalized with the Google penalties.
Since Google penalties are mostly based on spam removal and your article or website's ranking depend on keywords, the penalties and keywords are closely connected.
I will talk about how to save your blog from such penalties later in the article but before that let's see how you can find the best long tail keywords.

American Wirehair Cat Breed
American Wirehair Appearance
The American Wirehair is a medium size cat with a joyful expression. Their body is muscular and well balanced. The head is round and in good proportion to the body with prominent cheekbones and a well developed muzzle. The eyes are quite large, round and set well apart with a slightly slope. The ears are medium size with rounded tips, similar to the American Shorthair. The tail is medium length and tapering to rounded tip. The weight of the American Wirehair is around 8-15 pounds.
The American Wirehair coat is its most notable feature. Their coat is coarse, springy, dense, hard and medium in length. It feels distinctive to the touch giving the appearance of wiring. The American Wirehair also has curly whiskers. All colors and patterns are recognized similar to American Shorthair with the only difference on the coat texture. The most common colors are: white, blue and brown tabby. The American Wirehair breed is fairly uncommon and rarely seen outside United States.
American Wirehair Temperament
The American Wirehair posses one of the happiest temperament of all cats. They are relaxed, friendly, very devoted and loyal to its master. They make a great companion cat and are very similar in personality to the American Shorthair. They are also curious, inquisitive and want to know everything that happens around them but retain their independence.
Is American Wirehair the Right Breed for You?
American Wirehairs are suited to apartment living. They are smart, easy to train and highly adaptable. They could fit perfectly in an apartment without yard or in a farm with plenty space. They are active, energetic and playful cats that require some exercise in a safe area; but if a yard is not available it is a good idea to buy lots of toys and a climbing post so they could expend some time playing, scratching and calming down. The American Wirehair is a sociable cat that gets along well with other cats and pets. They are also good and very understanding of children.
American Wirehair Life Expectancy
The life expectancy of the American Wirehair is around 15 years.
American Wirehair Health Problems
The American Wirehair is a relatively healthy breed. Their coat tends to be 'unbalanced'. They are prone to hair loss and hair breakage which can be triggered by environmental factors like weather and stress. The American Wirehair skin can be sensitive and prone to allergies.
American Wirehair Care and Grooming
The American Wirehair requires a regular grooming to keep its coat in good condition. A rubber massage could be done when the cat is shedding to remove loose and dead hair. The coat should be brush and comb ones a week. Bathing is optional. Most of these cats have a greasy coat, which means they tend to need bathing more frequently than other cat breeds.
It is recommended for all cats and household pets to have annual vaccinations, veterinary checkups, and a quality diet. Use a special ear cleaner only when necessary to keep the ear clean and trim off the sharp points of the claws regularly using good clippers.
American Wirehair Shedding
The American Wirehairs are seasonal shedders; therefore is not suited for those with allergies.

Gender (sex) discrimination in the workplace is illegal in nearly all cases. This page can help you determine if gender discrimination has taken place in your particular situation.
In the U.S., all workers and job applicants are protected from gender discrimination by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
Getting Results
Our lawyers obtained $1,725,000 for female workers at a large transportation company who claimed race and gender discrimination. Several of the workers were truck drivers, who said they were given inferior routes and had to perform heavier labor than their male counterparts. See more verdicts and settlements we have obtained for our clients.
For a free and confidential consultation about your case, call (510) 433-1000.
What Is Sex Discrimination At Work?
Gender, gender identity and gender expression may possibly be discriminated against, and the state of California distinguishes between such discrimination. It is important to speak with a knowledgeable California gender discrimination lawyer about these nuances.
- If you are treated differently from other employees or job candidates based on anything to do with gender, it is illegal.
- If the different treatment affects your pay, title, position, opportunities for advancement or training, or being hired or fired, the treatment is illegal. This includes retaliation, which involves firing, demoting or making unfavorable changes to your work assignments based on a discrimination or sexual harassment claim.
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), enforced by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), prohibits employment discrimination by employers with five or more employees. However, if any type of sexual harassment complaint is involved, any employer with at least one employee can be held liable.
What Can You Do About Sex Discrimination At Work?
Much like sexual harassment, the instances should be documented. Speak with an experienced attorney about filing a claim with management or HR of your company or former company and the DFEH and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and about sex discrimination litigation.
You may be able to sue for monetary, emotional and punitive damages.

The ALR100 is an £899, 100-inch projection screen that's specially designed to be used in ambient light. This makes it potentially much more straightforward for movie and sports fans to install a big-screen projector system in a typical living-room environment.
At the time of writing, the ALR100 was available only in a 100-inch size – delivered, as you'd expect, in a 16:9 aspect ratio. While other size options may come if the ALR100 proves a success, 100 inches seems a logical size for Optoma to have picked as its starting point. It's big enough to deliver a cinematic experience comfortably beyond the bounds of any remotely affordable television, but not so big that it won't fit on a typical wall.
In addition, the black metal frame around the screen is impressively thin (16mm), so you don't have to worry about this adding further inches of real estate.

The ALR100 is currently only available in a fixed-frame design, due to the rigid nature of its structure versus vinyl screens. This means it will have to be on permanent display, rather than being something you can roll up when not in use. Then again, its ambient light abilities mean that it may well end up as your everyday TV, rather than simply for watching the odd movie.
This projector screen's ambient light abilities are down to two unique design features. First, its almost metallic-looking finish and glossy black substrate form a special optical structure that absorbs ambient (non-direct) light. Second, small, angled horizontal ridges built onto the the screen's surface deflect light from above away from the picture.
Optoma claims that in ideal conditions the ALR100's design can provide a contrast ratio that's 10 times better than that of a typical matte white screen.
Other key claimed advantages of the ALR100 versus other types of ambient light screen technology are wide viewing angles, no issues with "hotspots" – where light pools in parts of the screen – and that the screen can be wiped clean if you somehow get some muck on it.
The ALR100 is impressively easy to build. The four sides of the screen fit together with minimal fuss, and getting the roll-out screen material rigid is no more complicated than slotting a number of springs through holes in the frame and in the screen. There's no need for tensioning screws or fiddly Velcro adjustments.
As a result of the way the ALR100's anti-ambient light design works, the ideal position for the projector is below the screen. To achieve its optimum contrast, the images from your projector need to angle up to the screen at 15 degrees, while ambient light from above should be at an angle of 40 degrees or less.
Even if your projector and ambient light angles aren't perfect, you can still benefit from the ALR100 – provided you don't ceiling-mount your projector so that it angles downwards.

Sometimes you have to let go of something you love to find it again. That's exactly what Royce Lovett did. For a year, the singer/songwriter stopped listening to music.
"What I was hearing didn't inspire creativity," recalls Lovett, who also raps and plays guitar. "Everything talked about giving your life to Christ, which is great. But what's after that? I needed something more. I was praying one night when God told me something I've been doing ever since—write for those who know and write to those who don't."
Out of that conversation bloomed Lovett's self-described "lifestyle music": songs about the joy and pain of everyday life framed against a compelling fusion of hip-hop, pop, rock, folk, reggae, gospel and R&B. Mainstream music fans were introduced to the indie artist's progressive and invigorating sound on his first Motown EP, 2015's Write It on the Wall. The five-song suite takes an honest look at living in a world seemingly spinning out of control as on the anthemic title track/lead single. The mini-set also features the equally spirited—and empowering— follow-up, "Show Me Love."
"It's about being purposeful in your life," explains the 27-year-old."Write It on the Wall speaks to love being the one way that we can change the world."
With love still at the heart of his work, Lovett tackles more personal themes on his forthcoming Motown EP, Love Wins. Reuniting with producer/composer Nate Butler (Luther Vandross, Backstreet Boys), Lovett reflects on his life/career journey through five new original songs.
Drawing from Lovett's hip-hop roots, "Reach" uses a hard-driving drum beat in relaying the message to always "put your hands in the sky today / though your dream seems miles away." The slower-paced "Go" explores the pressure of holding fast to the faith you have in yourself despite what friends and others may say. The rollicking "That's Dat Jesus" embodies the fervor of the hymns Lovett's grandmother used to sing when he was younger, while the guitar-driving title track outlines the blueprint for winning at love and marriage. "Don't tell me we lost, 'cause I want to win," sings Lovett to his significant other in a gliding tenor. "Love is hard but you've got to fight for what you want in the end."
Providing the through-line for Love Wins is the upbeat declaration "Freedom." Lovett wrote the song in response to the title track of his debut EP. "Thought I was free, thought I was free," goes the refrain, "but I couldn't hear the voice that's locked inside of me. I want to be free from bondage my brother /my friend / so we can dance again."

This disclosure relates generally to video surveillance systems and, more particularly, to reducing oscillations in video images and audible noise from video camera assemblies which contain motors.
At least some known video surveillance systems include one or more video camera assemblies that typically include a video camera mounted in a housing along with a pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) assembly. The PTZ permits controlling a movement of the camera to align a viewing area of the camera with an object of interest or location of interest. The zoom portion of the mechanism may be used to adjust a field of view of the camera. The housing protects the camera from the environment in the location where the camera and PTZ assembly are mounted.
Video camera assemblies such as security cameras are installed in various manners. The PTZ assemblies generally include a motor for positioning the video camera about an axis of rotation and an angular position encoder for determining the position of the camera along the respective axis of rotation. In video camera assemblies that use closed loop position control, the encoder output is used to determine whether the camera is pointed at the commanded angle. If not, a motor drive signal is transmitted to the motor to drive the camera to the commended position. In some known video camera assemblies, the angular resolution of the encoder is greater than the angular resolution of the motor. In such assemblies, it is possible that the camera may be commanded to a position that is between positions that the motor can maintain in steady state. In such an instance, the motor may oscillate between two positions in an attempt to position the camera to the commanded angle. Such oscillation causes the motor windings to vibrate such that an undesirable audible noise is generated.
In one embodiment, a video camera assembly includes at least one of a pan mechanism rotatable about a pan axis and a tilt mechanism rotatable about a tilt axis. The pan mechanism includes a pan motor and a pan position encoder. The tilt mechanism includes a tilt motor and a tilt position encoder. A controller is communicatively coupled to at least one of the pan mechanism and the tilt mechanism and is configured to apply a filter to a power signal of at least one of the pan motor and the tilt motor based on a determined corresponding rotational speed of the at least one of the pan motor and the tilt motor.
In another embodiment, a method of operating a video camera assembly that includes at least one of a pan mechanism and a tilt mechanism is provided. The pan mechanism includes a pan motor and a pan axis encoder and the tilt mechanism includes a tilt motor and a tilt axis encoder. The method includes determining a rotational speed of at least one of the pan mechanism and the tilt mechanism, and applying a filter to a power driver of at least one of the pan motor and the tilt motor when the rotational speed of a corresponding at least one of the pan mechanism and the tilt mechanism exceeds a first predetermined threshold.
In yet another embodiment, a video system includes a video camera assembly including a video camera and at least one of a pan mechanism and a tilt mechanism. The pan mechanism including a pan motor and a pan position encoder, the tilt mechanism including a tilt motor and a tilt position encoder. A controller is communicatively coupled to the video camera assembly. The controller is configured to analyze position information from at least one of the pan position encoder and the tilt position encoder, determine at least one of an oscillation and an audible noise of the video camera assembly using the analyzed information, generate at least one of a pan motor power signal and a tilt motor power signal using the analyzed information, and apply the at least one of a pan motor power signal and a tilt motor power signal to a respective motor such that at least one of the oscillation and the audible noise of the video camera assembly is facilitated being reduced.
The following detailed description illustrates the disclosure by way of example and not by way of limitation. The description clearly enables one skilled in the art to make and use the disclosure, describes several embodiments, adaptations, variations, alternatives, and uses of the disclosure, including what is presently believed to be the best mode of carrying out the disclosure. The disclosure is described as applied to a preferred embodiment, namely, reducing audible noise generated in a video camera assembly and/or reducing oscillation in video images generated by the video camera assembly. However, it is contemplated that this disclosure has general application to reducing oscillation and audible noise in other equipment driven by motors and actuators in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and proceeded with the word "a" or "an" should be understood as not excluding plural elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly recited. Furthermore, references to "one embodiment" of the present disclosure are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional embodiments that also incorporate the recited features.
Lens assembly 116 views an area of a location 132, which may be remote from controller 102 and is in a field of view 134 and along a viewing axis 136 of lens assembly 116. Images of location 132 are converted by camera 106 into an electrical video signal, which is transmitted to display monitor 104.
In the exemplary embodiment, controller 102 includes an X-Y control joystick 140 that is used to generate pan and tilt commands. A plurality of rocker-type switches 142 are used to control a zoom 144, a focus 146, and an iris 148 of lens assembly 116. In an alternative embodiment, joystick 140 includes a twist actuation that is used to control the zoom of camera 106. Joystick 140 may also incorporate triggers and/or buttons to facilitate operating various controls associated with system 100. Controller 102 also includes a numeric keypad 150 for entering numbers and values. In an alternative embodiment, controller 102 may include an alpha or alphanumeric keypad (not shown) for entering text as well as numbers. Controller 102 further includes a plurality of preset switches 152 that may be programmed to execute macros that automatically control the actions of camera 106 and/or lens assembly 116. A plurality of buttons 154 may be used, for example, for predetermined control functions and/or user-defined functions, for example, a camera selection in a multi-camera video surveillance system. A display 156 may be used to display a status of video surveillance system 100 or may be used to display parameters associated with a selected camera.
A processor 158 receives programmed instructions, from software, firmware, and data from memory 160 and performs various operations using the data and instructions. Processor 158 may include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that performs arithmetic and logical operations and a control unit that extracts instructions from memory 160 and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary. Memory 160 generally includes a random-access memory (RAM) and a read-only memory (ROM), however, there may be other types of memory such as programmable read-only memory (PROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). In addition, memory 160 may include an operating system, which executes on processor 158. The operating system performs basic tasks that include recognizing input, sending output to output devices, keeping track of files and directories and controlling various peripheral devices.
The term processor, as used herein, refers to central processing units, microprocessors, microcontrollers, reduced instruction set circuits (RISC), application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), logic circuits, and any other circuit or processor capable of executing the functions described herein. Memory 160 may include storage locations for the preset macro instructions that may be accessible using one of the plurality of preset switches 142.
As used herein, the terms "software" and "firmware" are interchangeable, and include any computer program stored in memory for execution by processor 158, including RAM memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, and non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) memory. The above memory types are exemplary only, and are thus not limiting as to the types of memory usable for storage of a computer program.
In various embodiments, processor 158 and memory 160 are located external to camera 106 such as in controller 102 or in a PC or other standalone or mainframe computer system capable of performing the functions described herein.
In the exemplary embodiment, video surveillance system 100 is a single camera application, however, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be used within a larger surveillance system having additional cameras which may be either stationary or moveable cameras or some combination thereof to provide coverage of a larger or more complex surveillance area. In an alternative embodiment, one or more video recorders (not shown) are connected to controller 102 to provide for recording of video images captured by camera 106 and other cameras in system 100.
A position analyzer 210 is communicatively coupled to encoders 204 and 208 and is configured to receive signals relative to the angular position of encoders 204 and 208. Position analyzer 210 is further configured to transmit signals relative to the angular position of encoders 204 and 208 to a pan/tilt motor controller 212 through position feedback line 214. Pan/tilt motor controller 212 combines the feedback signals from position analyzer 210 with a motor position command signal from a position selector, such as joystick 140.
During operation, joystick 140 is manipulated by a user to generate commands to move pan motor 202 and tilt motor 206 to a desired position such that an object of interest is within field of view 134. In an alternative embodiment, pan motor 202 and tilt motor 206 are positioned via automatically generated signals. When the pan and/or tilt motors 202, 206 are positioned at the commanded position based on an output from encoders 204 and/or 208, pan and/or tilt motors 202, 206 attempt to hold video camera assembly 105 at the commanded position. When the speed of motion of video camera assembly 105 decreases below a predetermined threshold a filter 216 is switched into the command circuitry controlling pan motor 202 and tilt motor 206. Position analyzer 210 receives position signals from encoders 204 and/or 208 and determines a speed of video camera assembly 105 in each axis based on a change in received position signals. As such filter 216 is enabled only in a steady state condition and is switched out of the motor drive circuit when the motor speed exceeds a predetermined cutout speed.
In the exemplary embodiment, filter 216 comprises a velocity driven adaptive filter to reduce an oscillation and/or audible noise generated by pan motor 202 and tilt motor 206. Such noise may be due to two factors, a natural frequency response of the installation coupled with an offset weight of the tilt/pan mechanism and a high gain on the proportional section of a Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) control of filter 216 to account for a non-linearity of pan motor 202 and tilt motor 206 across poles of the stepper-type motors.
The oscillations at steady state are removed by an adaptive least mean squares (LMS) finite impulse response (FIR) filter that is enabled only when at steady state. Steady state is determined by evaluation of the motor velocity and applying a threshold with hysteresis.
The proportional gain of the PID control can be a source of oscillations if set too high as well. A relatively high value of proportional gain is used to linearize the micro stepping of the motor across poles. A lower value of the proportional gain can be achieved by mapping the non-linearity of the motor torque versus drive capability and adjusting the control value of the PID across poles. This effectively allows the controller to predict the non-linearity and compensate in an intelligent manner rather than blindly with the gain.
A look-up table is generated that stores the applied torque versus the angular rotation achieved for each of the numerous poles of the motor. The applied current to the motor is proportional to the torque and this is used as a measure for torque. The velocity achieved per unit of torque is measured by examination of the differential encoder data from sensors 204/208. Thus the table built up includes one axis for the velocity (the velocity affects the distortion) and another axis for the distance between poles. These two axes would produce a continuous surface map of the non-linearity of the motor, which would be referenced when calculating the next control value.
In the exemplary embodiment, filter 216 comprises a least mean squares (LMS) algorithm in an adaptive filter to find the filter coefficients that relate to producing the least mean squares of an error signal wherein the error signal represents a difference between the commanded position and the actual position of video camera assembly 105. The parameters that define filter 216 may include one or more of an adaptation rate, a length, a decimation rate, a velocity, a threshold, a position history, and a time window. The parameters, in one embodiment, are determined and applied in a controlled environment such as a factory or shop based on empirical data acquired during a calibration procedure. In another embodiment, the parameters are dynamically determined during operation of video camera assembly 105. An initial set of parameters may be determined during fabrication and those parameters may be modified automatically during operation based on environmental conditions. The initial set of parameters may be set to facilitate compensating for inconsistent manufacturing tolerances. During operation filter 216 adjusts to the nonlinear portion of the motor, permitting control of the oscillation.
As will be appreciated based on the foregoing specification, the above-described embodiments of the disclosure may be implemented using computer programming or engineering techniques including computer software, firmware, hardware or any combination or subset thereof, wherein the technical effect is to adaptively filter the steady state oscillation characteristics of a video camera assembly and to generate a control algorithm of the filter that reduces the steady state oscillation and audible noise caused by resolution differences between a motor and encoder components of the video camera assembly. Any such resulting program, having computer-readable code means, may be embodied or provided within one or more computer-readable media, thereby making a computer program product, i.e., an article of manufacture, according to the discussed embodiments of the disclosure. The computer readable media may be, for example, but is not limited to, a fixed (hard) drive, diskette, optical disk, magnetic tape, semiconductor memory such as read-only memory (ROM), and/or any transmitting/receiving medium such as the Internet or other communication network or link. The article of manufacture containing the computer code may be made and/or used by executing the code directly from one medium, by copying the code from one medium to another medium, or by transmitting the code over a network.
The above-described embodiments of a video surveillance system provide a cost-effective and reliable means for adaptively filtering the power driver of a pan and/or tilt motor of a video camera assembly to facilitate minimizing visual oscillation and/or audible noise. More specifically, the methods and systems described herein facilitate determining a lookup table that identifies linearizing parameters for a pan and/or tilt motor of a video camera assembly. In addition, the above-described methods and systems facilitate detecting an oscillatory response of the video camera assembly during a steady state operation of the video camera assembly. As a result, the methods and systems described herein facilitate automatically reducing noise in a video camera assembly in a cost-effective and reliable manner.
Exemplary embodiments of video surveillance systems, methods, and apparatus are described above in detail. The video surveillance system components illustrated are not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, but rather, components of each system may be utilized independently and separately from other components described herein. For example, the video surveillance system components described above may also be used in combination with different video surveillance system components.
While the disclosure has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, it will be recognized that the disclosure can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

Ole Salt replied to Ole Salt's topic in B & B Yachts ForumI received my plans over the holidays after a couple of days studying them I was off to gather a few materials for the frames. I have begin the process of transferring the drawings to the plywood using carbon paper which works great. I hope to be posting pictures by the end of next week of my progress .
Ole Salt posted a topic in B & B Yachts ForumWell the decision has been made I ordered the plans for the Ocracoke 20B Friday Dec 16. It was a pleasure talking with Alan prior to my order. I will be posting pictures throughout the build so stay tuned.
Ole Salt posted a topic in B & B Yachts ForumI have built couple of boats in my past and now I'm trying decide my next new project . I am torn between the Orcacoke 20B & the Ocracoke 24. The proposed boat will be used for a inshore charter boat in the Mobile Alabama Bay which can be pretty nasty at times. Suggestions and comments please .

The one part I wanted to see was the shaping of the neck

I made It

That was it in progress, if you want I can post the finished product

Just a question I'm thinking of making my own Viola aswell just a sort of fun project because I'm quite into design and im also a string player, and making an instrument would be a fun little project, also probably end up being cheaper then buying one :P

anyways after pre amble my question is: Where can you get the solid spruce (or if I'm miss informed then insert wood type here) planks for carving the viola top, as well as the thin pieces of wood that are used for structure in the edges of the bottom?

helps to have the specialized tools, and templates.

Still, Well done to all of you!

Now, How well do they SOUND!
are they "oh that's awful", High school rental instrument quality, or "Strati who?"

haha its "Stradivarius" and really the only special about them is their mellow deep tone and that their around 300 years old.

Oh it's absolutely indistinguishable from a Strad!
So was this a colaborative effort on one viola or did each make their own in the 3 days? Regardless, a fine job was done, bravo.
Oh definitely just the one! Thanks...
I admire your woodworking skills, and all of you are still in the earlier part of your lives. This is really worthwhile to watch. When I first saw the title, I was afraid it was some duct tape and cardboard pseudo viola. But, you have all done admirably. I am giving it 5 stars.
Thank you very much! I wasn't one of the makers, just the person who made the film............but I'll pass on your 5 stars!

Thought it might raise a laugh but thought wrong. Totally unfunny! Switched off after 3 mins as unbearable to watch any more...

Why on earth men dressed up as women, David Walliams style, think it amusing is a mystery to me.
