A new in vitro system for simultaneously loading four tendons in culture is described.
Date Published: 5/28/2007, Issue 4; doi: 10.3791/209
Keywords: Developmental biology, issue 4, tendon, tension
Asundi, K., Rempel, D. Ex vivo Mechanical Loading of Tendon. J. Vis. Exp. (4), e209, doi:10.3791/209 (2007).
Injuries to the tendon (e.g., wrist tendonitis, epicondyltis) due to overuse are common in sports activities and the workplace. Most are associated with repetitive, high force hand activities. The mechanisms of cellular and structural damage due to cyclical loading are not well known. The purpose of this video is to present a new system that can simultaneously load four tendons in tissue culture. The video describes the methods of sterile tissue harvest and how the tendons are loaded onto a clamping system that is subsequently immersed into media and maintained at 37°C. One clamp is fixed while the other one is moved with a linear actuator. Tendon tensile force is monitored with a load cell in series with the mobile clamp. The actuators are controlled with a LabView program. The four tendons can be repetitively loaded with different patterns of loading, repetition rate, rate of loading, and duration. Loading can continue for a few minutes to 48 hours. At the end of loading, the tendons are removed and the mid-substance extracted for biochemical analyses. This system allows for the investigation of the effects of loading patterns on gene expression and structural changes in tendon. Ultimately, mechanisms of injury due to overuse can be studies with the findings applied to treatment and prevention.

The video presents a new system for the simultaneous loading of up to four live tendons in tissue culture. Typical loading durations are 2 to 48 hours. After loading, the tendons are removed and processed for gene expression. The system allows for the investigation of the effect of loading pattern on changes in genes associated with degenerative changes in the tendon. These experiments can provide some insight into mechanisms of injury associated with repetitive loading. They also provide insight into loads that can cause tissue damage. Ultimately, the results may be used to prevent and treat overuse injuries to tendons and ligaments.

Vice-presidential candidate Rep Paul Ryan (R-WI) ran into his own meme at an event in Colorado Tuesday, as an online campaign designed to expose his record on women's health issues infiltrated his speech from above.
Members of the Choose Ryan, Lose Choice campaign managed to fly a banner while Ryan was speaking in Lakewood, Colorado. CNBC reporter Eamon Javers tweeted a picture of the banner, which read, "Hey girl, choose me, lose choice – P. Ryan."
The campaign's tumblr page features pictures of a smiling Ryan juxtaposed with "feminist-sounding" affirmations of his policy, like "Hey girl, got birth control? Not for long." and "Hey girl, you'll love my choices for your body." Both it and the non-affiliated @PaulRyanGosling twitter account are based on a popular blog, Feminist Ryan Gosling, created by University of Wisconsin-Madison grad student Danielle Henderson.

More than $10 billion will be forced to find a new home if offshore players snap up the demerged beer and wine divisions of
Consolidation in the beverages sector – with Southcorp gobbled up by Foster's in 2005 and Lion Nathan taken out by Kirin in 2009 – has forced investors to look elsewhere for exposure to fast-moving consumer goods.
If the demerged Foster's businesses go the same way, as fund managers predict, the consumer staples sector will have just seven stocks in it.
"[Foster's beer and wine divisions] probably will not end up as independent companies," Arnhem Investment Management fund manager Theo Maas said.
"For both assets there are logical buyers out there and it's probably just a matter of time before they are snapped up.
"I'm not quite sure what order that will be, but the demerger makes life a lot easier from that perspective," Mr Maas said. "My guess would be the wine assets will go first, especially from the private equity angle."
Foster's formally announced it would demerge its Carlton and United Breweries and Treasury Wine Estates businesses yesterday while revealing a 12.4 per cent fall in profit to $312.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2011.
Mr Maas said the result was in line with his expectations, "but difficult to be happy with".
Australian beer consumption fell to a 61-year low last financial year as consumers shunned iconic brands in favour of wine.
Since the mid-1970s, beer consumption has almost halved from 500 stubbies per person a year to around 300 stubbies.
Wine consumption, on the other hand, is at record levels with the equivalent of 38 bottles being drunk per person annually. In fact, over the past two decades, wine consumption has grown 24 per cent while beer consumption has fallen 27 per cent, according to a Commonwealth Bank of Australia report released earlier this year. With Southcorp,
Some are sceptical of the impact the departure of the Foster's units would have on investor sentiment.
White Funds Management managing director Angus Gluskie said he didn't think it would have a huge effect on the consumer staples sector, particularly on CC Amatil.
"I don't think it has a dramatic impact, people aren't sitting there saying 'I have to hold x-amount in beverages'."
CC Amatil downgraded its profit forecasts for the first half of fiscal 2011 due to unseasonably wet weather.
Typically considered a standout performer, having outpaced the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 over the past 10 years, CC Amatil has increasingly been under pressure since October last year, falling 5.3 per cent versus the market's 7.5 per cent gain.
Woolworths arguably has the strongest business model of the three, demonstrated by its double-digit growth over the past decade. However, its shares trade at 15.5 times forward earnings, a premium to its rivals. It also recently revised down its full-year profit forecasts.
Shares in Metcash look more appealing on 12.6 times forward earnings, but the company is in a difficult position as its IGA supermarkets lose market share to a resurgent Coles and new entrants Aldi and Costco.
Goodman Fielder, the owner of Medow Lea, Wonder White and other staple brands, has also been struggling over the past year. Its share price dropped 17.5 per cent last year and is trading on a forward P/E multiple of 8.8 times.

Nooch Music Company
Carmen Jude Aquila's music has been performed around the world, from Long Island to Beijing. World-renowned conductors the likes of JoAnn Falletta and Edwin London have brought Carmen's music to life with ensembles as prestigious as the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cleveland Chamber Symphony. Most recently, Maestra Falletta and the BPO gave the world premier performance of Carmen's Serenade for String Orchestra. Other musicians-extraordinaire who have rendered masterful performances of Carmen's music include Jacqueline Galluzzo, Emily Boyce, Holly Bewlay, Marilyn Shrude, Maria Sampen, and Bryan Eckenrode. Carmen is frequently hired for new works and arrangements. Recent ensembles to commission him include the Warren PA Civic Orchestra and the Chautauqua Regional Youth Symphony. The Toledo Symphony has also programmed Carmen's orchestrations. Carmen's work has earned notable awards, including the Cleveland Chamber Symphony's "Music by Emerging Composers" in April 2000. For this event, Preamble, his first orchestral work, was premiered under the baton of Edwin London. His piece Scenes for Violin and Piano was selected for the finals round of BGSU's 1999 concerto competition. He was also awarded the 1998 Victoria Bohlen Memorial Award for Composition. In 1998, Carmen earned his BM in composition with honors from the State University of New York at Fredonia, where he studied composition with Donald Bohlen. He then moved to Bowling Green State University and was apprenticed to Marilyn Shrude, Burton Beerman, and Mikel Kuehn. His MM in composition was awarded with honors in 2000.

"Quiet Hands" for A Better Short Game
I played golf last Friday with a group of guys at my club, all of whom are new golf buddies to me, as I just joined this past spring.
One of my playing partners was an emergency room physician who is a 4-handicap. Hits it a mile, but was commiserating about his difficulty inside 100 yards or so. He expressed real problems controlling distance on his wedge shots.
After complementing me on a couple of good pitch shots I had made, he realized that I was "that wedge guy" he had heard about.
So, he asked me what I thought was keeping his short game from being up to the standard of his long game. You can imagine I get that often, but I totally enjoy trying to give someone guidance that will help their scoring. Of course, on-course fixes are difficult, and I expressed that to him, but he wanted it anyway.
In his case, as I see so often, his short game was too much in the hands, that is, he was manipulating the clubhead back to the ball with a full wrist cock and "flip" of the hands to get the club back to the ball.
This leads to inconsistent contact and very poor distance control. My suggestion to him was to feel like the wrists were not cocking at all at the end of his backswing, but that he should release the club with his body rotation — with his hands.
I shared a mental picture with him where you feel like the shaft of the club is pointed straight upward as you reach the end of your backswing, rather than to hinge so that it points back toward the target. (It really doesn't do this, but it will feel like it.)
This is what we call "quiet hands" — the mark of a good wedge player. One way to achieve this is to focus your mind on your grip pressure. You should feel control of the club in the fingers of your left hand (for right-handed players), with little or no pressure felt in your "pincher" – formed by the thumb, forefinger and middle finger – of either hand.
Try this and let me know your results.

The renovated State Library of Victoria has become a hotbed of creativity, with writers and playwrights among those setting up house there, writes Carolyn Webb.
An artist's life is lonely at the best of times, but a new scheme is easing the isolation for a lucky group of scholars.
The State Library of Victoria's inaugural Creative Fellowships program has brought a select bunch of writers, musicians and artists under one roof.
From 394 applicants, 18 people have been granted one, three and six-month fellowships. In return, they must use State Library collections to produce a work such as a book or performance.
The fellows are assigned offices next to the Domed Reading Room, with the possibility that they can support, and bounce ideas off, each other.
One of the fellows, historian Robyn Annear, who has been a visitor to the library for 20 years, now says she feels almost like an "insider". Annear, who lives in Castlemaine, is eight weeks into a fellowship to write a book about Whelan the Wrecker. The fellowship pays for her to work for half a year on the book - "a rare luxury" she says.
"I've always used the library, as kind of an outsider, but this gives me the chance to be kind of a semi-insider in the library culture. It's interesting and kind of fun to see how the place works."
The fellowships scheme was suggested by Terry Bracks, the Premier's wife, based on a similar program she learned about when visiting the New York Public Library.
The $600,000 State Library of Victoria program has been funded for the next three years by the library, the Victoria Government and philanthropists.
The selection panel is a who's who of arts in Victoria: former publisher Hilary McPhee, restaurateur Patricia O'Donnell, author Shane Maloney, publisher Louise Adler, art historian Dr Ann Galbally, and playwright Hannie Rayson.
The Fellows for 2003 have widely diverse subjects.
Melbourne-born, Sydney-based harpist Marshall McGuire will research the library's collection of works by the late Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks. He intends to later put on a concert. Born in Melbourne in 1912, Glanville-Hicks composed hundreds of pieces, including operas, film scores and chamber works.
"She was very influential in the 1950s, working with people like Leonard Bernstein and Paul Bowles, whom she had an affair with," McGuire says. "She lived in Sydney for the last 10 years of her life, and died there in 1990. She left her Paddington house in a trust for young composers to live in."
McGuire, 38, a former Opera Australia principal harpist, never met Glanville-Hicks, but discovered her music shortly after she died, when he first performed her romantic Sonata for Harp.
He says it is one of the strongest works written for harp in the past century. "It's the piece I perform the most, actually - all over the world."
McGuire is excited about re-introducing Glanville Hicks's music to her home town, "and to focus attention on this collection as a living, real thing, rather than just a musty old lot of papers".
Anglesea historian Bev Roberts wants to bring to public notice two other forgotten Victorian women - Anne Drysdale and Caroline Newcomb. The women, pioneering mid-1800s graziers, gave their surnames to a Bellarine Peninsula town and a Geelong suburb.
Roberts, 64, is transcribing Drysdale's diary - spanning 1839 to 1853 - for a non-fiction book. She "discovered" Drysdale and Newcomb five years ago while researching the cultural history of the Barwon River area.
"What's great about the fellowship is, for the first time, I've got a slab of time to really have a go at this, and do it properly."
The diary gives intricate details about farming practices of the day. And Roberts is surprised at the huge amount of social activity it records.
"It's quite dizzying. You get this sense that everybody in Geelong was just buzzing around in their carriages or on their horses, going to visit each other."
Roberts says Drysdale and Newcomb were strong, independent women.
"And I think that, coming out to Australia, into that kind of almost frontier society, put them in a situation where they could actually live the kind of lives that they certainly couldn't have lived if they'd stayed back in Scotland and England."
Jane Lydon's Fellowship quest is to study how Aborigines have been portrayed in photographs since European settlement, for a book to be released next year.
Lydon, a post-doctorate scholar at the Monash Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies, will study hundreds of photos that the State Library holds; photos taken at Aboriginal missions at Lake Tyers (near Lakes Entrance), Ramahyuck (in Gippsland) and Ebenezer (near Dimboola) from 1859 onwards. Ramahyuck and Ebenezer were run by the Moravians, an obscure Christian religious sect whose membership included early Victorian governor Charles La Trobe.
"I'm terribly excited," Lydon says. "It's wonderful to be in the La Trobe reading room. It's a beautiful space. And I'd forgotten about how being in a library concentrates the mind.
"You know, you sort of sit there and there's this beautiful silence all around you, and you're not expected to do anything except read and think and write.
"That's something I haven't really had for a while."
"One of the great things about working at the State Library is that I can go off and look at a manuscript or the books collection," he says. "I sit in my office and I've got my images, which I can access on the (computer) catalogue, or go and have a look at them. But then I think, 'What were the newspapers saying about this event?' and I can go off and look that up.
"It's a scholar's paradise."
This year's fellowships include grants to six State Library staff. Olga Tsara, a picture collection librarian, is cataloguing the Library's Red Planet archive.
Red Planet was a poster co-operative that formed in 1992 from the merger of two other groups - Red Letter, of Brunswick, and Another Planet, from Richmond.
Red Planet's work was commissioned by community groups, from anti-nuclear to women's, youth and housing groups, to the prostitutes' collective.
The State Library holds 900 Red Planet posters, which are often political, and often cutting, such as two by Carol Porter: If High Heels Were Such a Great Idea, Why Aren't Men Wearing Them? (1994), which depicts footballers in high heels, and the 1997 poster calling for more female politicians, Don't Get Mad, Get Elected, showing a giant woman standing over Parliament.
Tsara is creating a register of Red Planet artists and wants them to contact her at the Library.
Annear says some of the fellows will give public talks, which she hopes will provide people an insight into the library: "That's really what I think it's about: it's about drawing people in to the library's collections."

Wale responds to Kendrick Lamar's 'Control' verse
Wale isn't taking offense at being called out by Kendrick Lamar on Big Sean's track "Control."
On the song - which hit airwaves earlier this week - Kendrick calls out a number of rappers, including Wale, J. Cole, Drake, Meek Mill and Pusha T.
Now, Wale tells TMZ.com that he would have been offended if Kendrick had left out his name from the verse. He also gave a "shout out" to Kendrick. Wale adds that he still believes he's "the best rapper on the planet."
Earlier this week, Diddy responded to Kendrick's claims that he is the "king of New York" by posting a picture of himself and fellow New York emcee Jay Z laughing at the notion.

The lack of overseas productions due to the high Australian dollar continued to be felt, with foreign production just 8 per cent of the total. But big studio-backed films by Australians, which can access the federal producer offset of a 40 per cent tax rebate, meant overall production recovered from 2010-11, when it fell to $495 million.
That largely came down to Gatsby and I, Frankenstein, written and directed by Stuart Beattie and starring
A trend towards mini series and telemovies, helped by the offset – which tops out at 65 episodes – yielded a bumper TV drama production year.

Car went dead all of sudden while driving - 2006 bmw X5 3.0
Yeah, the timing belt or chain refers to the synchronisation of cam and crankshaft, a much bigger function than the serpentine belt.
The PCV system is important in cars as it provides the engine with a waste gate to remove unwanted gases and fuel mixed content from the engine oil. These gases pass through the cylinder rings during combustion and into the crank housing where the oil is contained. It has been used on engines for a long time now, and modern cars reuse the gases and petrol by returning them to the combustion process. However, this may be another problem on your car that requires repair. I don't think the PCV would cause your car to stop but a loose timing chain would.
Glad you're getting it checked out. The fact that your car is driving ok is a good sign, but don't drive your car for too long if it has warning lights. Get it sorted ASAP to prevent further problems and you should be back on the road safely and having fun in your x5, which in my opinion, is one of the best cars on the road. Any great car deserves tons of tlc!

It's no secret that Kristin Cavallari has a smokin' body and on Thursday (April 2) she proudly displayed a snapshot of her beautiful backside to the delight of her Instagram followers.
The 28-year-old "Hills" alum took her son Camden's hand and went for a stroll on the beach while her husband Jay Cutler took a photograph of her pert derriere.
Taking a break from her SoCal digs, Kristin Cavallari showed up in Manhattan on Thursday night (February 12) for Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection 2015 presented by Macy's.
The "Laguna Beach" lady wore a marvelous red ensemble as she pranced around The Theatre at Lincoln Center with Ciara as part of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2015.
Most women struggle with losing weight after giving birth, but Kristin Cavallari can't seem to put on the pounds no matter how hard she tries.
Making the most of some time off, Kristin Cavallari and her husband Jay Cutler sunned themselves poolside on Sunday (January 11).
The former "Hills" actress posted several photos via Instagram to make her followers jealous, adding the caption, "Sunday fun day. @inspirato making it happen."
It's no secret that her role on "Laguna Beach" was key to boosting her acting resume and Kristin Cavallari has mixed feelings about her reality show beginnings.
The "Hills" alum is featured in the forthcoming episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?" as she takes a look back over the years.
She gave birth to her second child Jaxon earlier this year and already Kristin Cavallari is in stellar shape again.
On Sunday (November 30) the former "Hills" stunner posted a selfie from her workout studio to show fans her flawless physique.
Showing some love to her Windy City fans, Kristin Cavallari showed up at Nordstrom on Michigan Avenue in Chicago on Saturday (October 18) for some promotional duties.
The "Hills" star received a warm welcome from her loyal followers who waited patiently for her to show off her signature shoe collection from Chinese Laundry.
Blood is thicker than water and Kristin Cavallari's two boys appear to have already formed a friendship.
The "Hills" starlet posted a photo of Jax and Camden during mealtime and they held each other's hands while they gulped down their food.

The Deal
- $39 for 5K entry with Super Glo package (a $78 value)
The 5K starts at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 7. Runners must first pick up their fun-run packets before the packet pickup area closes at 8 p.m. Runners then line up for a route replete with black lights and music. At 8:50 p.m., a DJ begins to spin at the finish line, kicking off the after party, which also features a costume party that starts at 9:50 p.m. The Super Glo package includes a fluorescent Glo logo T-shirt, six pieces of glow-in-the-dark swag, and light-up sunglasses. For more details, see the fun-run page and the info page.
Glo Run
The Glo Run 5K always takes place at night, but it doesn't seem like it. The course is lined with black lights and lasers, and runners sport glow-in-the-dark gear from T-shirts to sunglasses. On-course DJs add to the festivities, blasting tunes as the untimed participants run, walk, or dance to the finish line. Even more DJs await them there, at the glow-in-the-dark after party, which lights up the night better than a raccoon that's swallowed a flashlight.


text: Crookster June 03, 2011 6:54 PM All very well & good but I hope that this does not impact on the great job that the event organisers, IRC & Eurosport have done bringing the event back to what it was & should be. North West One coverage of the wrc is pretty bland to say the least. The wrc was much better better in the days of Eurosport covering it. At least we saw much more of the competitors from the outside of the cars rather than the boring in car footage that we are subjected to via MotorsTV provided by North West One production. A few more competitors in with a chance of challenging might also help? Your Thoughts? Reply Report abuse 3 agree 0 disagree

Why Edgy Content Can Be Excellent Link Bait
IF you've ever read an article about coming up with ideas for content, you may have come across the advice to use – or stay away from – controversy. It's a risky move. A business relies on its online reputation. Publishing something that could inflame your audience or insult some prominent group can have drastic negative consequences. It makes the news when a big company suffers such a hit; a smaller company might not survive.
On the other hand, if you manage to publish something on the edge of controversy, enough to rile people up but not enough to cause a backlash, you can rake in a huge amount of traffic. Such posts are often shared around Facebook and other social media, and reposted on other blogs with commentary. One controversial statement can be the foundation of a storm of media attention that can boost your reputation significantly.
The key is in the word used in the title. "Edgy" content can be very valuable, but it stands on the edge of a cliff. Taking one step too far, crossing over that edge, is very dangerous.
How can you make use of edgy content, why should you risk the consequences and what should you avoid?
Being Boring Sucks
When you're running a business online, you're using modern tools with an audience largely composed of people under 50. These people have tuned their attention and their tastes to what the Internet can provide. Your business is competing against other businesses using the same tools, so it all comes down to character.
As a brand, you need to build a persona, a character. Every month there's a new example of a brand using social media in an unexpectedly casual way, whether it's an airline responding to individual comments on Twitter or Oreo poking fun at the NFL. If your brand is posting nothing but boring, dry statistics and press releases, no one is going to care.
Being edgy means being witty, being incisive and being colorful. It builds your brand persona and makes people feel more like you're a group of humans providing a product, not a faceless corporation driven solely by maximizing profits.
Interesting Content is Shared
When you post something interesting, it's more likely to be shared. Common sense, right? Well, what happens when you post something divisive? Something a little controversial?
Take, for example, one of the simplest examples of edgy content; a sports rivalry. All you need to do is take sides and poke a little lighthearted fun at the other side to get people riled up. Fans of the side you take will rally under your banner to hail you for your good taste. Fans of the other side will leave comments decrying your decision. Sparks will fly and debates will heat up. The post will be shared so followers can bring their friends in on the discussion, hoping to shout down the other side. It can easily turn into chaos.
Sure, a few of the most die-hard fans of the opposing side will probably declare that they will never shop at your store again, and some of them might even follow up with it. The added exposure, however, has the potential to bring in far more traffic.
The key to this situation, of course, is the word "lighthearted." One excellent example of this is when Denny's drew a map of the route a losing team would take going home, and pointed out all of their locations on the way home. It's cheap, it's funny and it pokes fun without being insulting.
Tips for Using Edgy Content
1. Take sides, but not too strongly. The higher the emotions behind a controversy, the more dangerous it is to take sides. It's one thing to say the Jets should win the Superbowl. It's quite another to take sides in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
2. If you're adamantly going to take sides for a social cause you believe in, make sure it doesn't come across as pandering. If you're highly in support of gay marriage, for example, avoid tying it into bridal product sales.
3. Don't attempt to be edgy around disasters. American Apparel tried to run a coupon around Hurricane Sandy, which was incredibly insensitive to the people watching their homes be destroyed.
4. To avoid politically or socially charged issues, look for topics that are commonly held beliefs and question them. If you stick within your industry, people will trust that you know what you're talking about.
Recovering From a Step Too Far
When you're experimenting with edgy content, you're playing with fire. Worse, what you're doing can't be undone. Once you post something on social media, you can't take it back. You can remove the original tweet or Facebook post, but someone, somewhere will have seen it. Someone, somewhere will have cached and archived it or taken a screenshot. It will haunt you.
If you try to cover it up, it will come back to bite you. Declaring that the post you made never happened and trying to delete or take down evidence is like trying to stop a tidal wave with a towel.
If you make a mistake, the first thing you need to do is analyze the severity of the backlash. Don't get defensive, don't deny it and don't cover it up. Determine if what you said was mildly inflammatory or majorly divisive. Make amends! One recent example might be Weird Al's new album, where he uses the term "Spastic" in a song. He – and most Americans – was unaware that the term is deeply offensive in some areas. He apologized as soon as he found out, and he has received quite a bit of goodwill for doing so.
The moral of the story is to follow a few basic tips.
• Don't be afraid to use edgy content, particularly with a compelling headline.
• Don't use edgy content too often, lest you fatigue users and drive them away.
• If you make a mistake – and you probably will – own up to it, apologize, make amends and move on.
Done properly, edgy content with linkbait headlines can be an amazing influx of traffic. Done incorrectly, it can be devastating to your social reputation. Do your research before you post and you should be fine.

Which cable to use between battery and inverter?
With this program you will be able to size correctly the electric cables to connect battery and inverter of your photovoltaic system.
Easy and free!
Welcome in this information page of Mppt Solar. On this page we will explain what an inverter, what is its function, what it consists of, what its working principle and what are the main types of inverters used in the most common situations and needs. With the help of simple diagrams illustrated, you will be guided in understanding this important electronic device essential in many fields of application. You will also find the wiring diagram to build a square wave inverter and lots of handy tips so you can make a purchase safe, aware and durable.
What is an inverter and what is this for. An inverter is an electronic device that can transform a direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) at a given voltage and frequency. For example, if we have to feed a household appliance that operates in alternating current 230V (50Hz frequency) but we do not have available the alternating current network, thanks out occurs we can feed it, however, taking advantage of a direct current source, such as a 12V battery (DC) . E 'therefore essential to its use for supply by direct current, electrical devices that operate in alternating current. The inverters are used in photovoltaic off-grid (stand alone) for powering electric remote houses, mountain chalets, mobile homes, boats and are also used in grid-connected photovoltaic systems to enter the current produced by the plant directly into the power grid distribution (solar inverters). The inverters are also used in many other applications, ranging from UPS to speed controllers for electric motors, from power supplies switching to lighting. By the term "inverter" is designed to include a group "rectifier-inverter", supplied with alternating current and used to vary the voltage and the frequency of the alternating current output as a function of the incoming (eg for the supply of particular machinery). The most common inverters used to power the AC loads are of three types: square wave inverter (suitable for resistive loads), modified sine wave inverter (suitable for resistive, capacitive, inductive loads can produce noise) and pure sine wave inverter (suitable for all types of loads because faithfully reproduce a sine wave equal to that of our domestic power supply).
Advanced DC/AC Inverters: Applications in Renewable Energy
The book first covers traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) inverters before moving on to new quasi-impedance source inverters and soft-switching PWM inverters.

The most complete small generator book reference and "how-to" book available. Everything about building or buying small power plants.
How does an inverter works. Well, now we begin to explain this interesting phenomenon of transformation of energy. We have said that an inverter can obtain an alternating current from a direct current. To understand this phenomenon we should start with the explanation of an alternator. The alternator is a rotating electric machine that transforms the mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of alternating current through the natural phenomenon of electromagnetic induction (an example is the alternator of the bike). In its simplest form, is composed of a coil of wire with a rotary magnet close to it. As soon as a pole of the magnet approaches the coil, it will create an induced current in the coil and this will flow in the opposite direction to the rotation of the magnet. Is then produced an alternating current.

Now let's see how it behaves transformer. A transformer also produces an alternating current induced in the coil, but this time, the variable magnetic field is produced, not by a magnet but by another coil (called primary coil) having an alternating current flowing in it. Each coil traversed by an alternating electric current behaves like a magnet and produces a magnetic field. If the current direction changes, the polarity of the magnetic field changes.
Photo Credit: Solar-Facts
The useful thing is that of a transformer, the voltage produced in the secondary coil is not necessarily the same as that applied to the primary coil. If the secondary coil is composed of a double winding (has twice the number of revolutions) with respect to the primary coil, the secondary voltage will be twice the voltage applied to the primary coil. You can actually produce any voltage want varying the dimensions of the coils.
If in the primary coil, instead of alternating current, do scroll the DC current of a battery, is not to be formed no current induced in the secondary coil, because the magnetic field does not vary. But if we do change the direction of current continuously and quickly, then we have already made an inverter very simple and functional. This inverter produces as output a square wave, the frequency of which depends on the time in which we change the direction of the current circulating in the primary coil.
Photo Credit: Solar-Facts
How to make possible these continuous and rapid changes automatically? Using a transistor circuit, or even better achieved through MOSFET, or thyristors or IGBTs, that are more efficient. Below you will find the pattern to achieve a simple square wave inverter, using an astable multivibrator circuit for driving the primary coil. Of course this type of inverter is rich in harmonics and therefore is not suitable for food nor capacitive loads nor those inductive. It's possible to supply only purely resistive loads, such as filament lamps or electric heaters.
The transistors Q1 and Q2, as well as the transformer T1, determine how much power can supply the inverter. Q1 and Q2 are transistors 2N3055 and T1 is a transformer with maximum current 15A; in this case, the inverter can deliver about 300 watts. Remember that if you work with high currents, this inverter will absorb a considerable amount of current from the battery and in no time you could find yourself seriously damaged the battery. It 'well then prepare a sensor for the automatic interruption of the operation of the inverter as soon as the battery "drops" below a certain threshold voltage. It is also good to put a fuse, before the commissioning of the circuit.
Pure sine wave inverter. To obtain a sinusoidal alternating current at the output of our transformer, we must apply a sinusoidal current input. To produce a sine wave at the entrance of the primary coil we need an oscillator. One of the simplest oscillators we can achieve is surely a Wien Bridge with FET. The output is made stable thanks to the feedback.
Photo Credit: Solar-Facts
In most of the oscillator circuits, the output current will be of low intensity or in any case not sufficient to drive the main coil. This current will then need to be amplified from what will be more or less equivalent to a powerful audio amplifier so as to produce a high current to the primary coil of the transformer. The transformer, although very useful, it does not matter at all. While increasing the voltage, the current is reduced, and the power (voltage x current) remains the same (neglecting internal losses of the transformer). In other words, to obtain an output 1Kw alternating current, we provide incoming 1Kw DC.
The inverters best and most expensive are managed by a microcontroller and base their operation on the modulation of pulse width (PWM). The system can be fed back in order to provide a stable output voltage by varying the input voltage. For both types of modulation signal quality is determined by the number of bits employed. They range from a minimum of 3 bits to a maximum of 12 bits, able to describe with good approximation the sinusoid.
Grid Tied Inverter. A grid-tied inverters instead has a different function than the drive so far described. It in fact not only converts a direct current into alternating current, but is able to enter this current into the national grid. To perform this function, grid tied inverter must do the sampling of voltage and timing for the transfer.

Vendor Qualification - Designing and Implementing an Efficient and Compliant Vendor Program
Product ID: 702026
- Duration: 90 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
This vendor qualification training will provide valuable assistance on how to avoid costly regulatory action from agencies when they inspect your facilities in pharmaceutical and biotech industries and find deficiencies in your vendor qualification programs. It will show you how to assess your systems and bring them into compliance.
Why Should You Attend:
This webinar will provide valuable information on the regulations of the USA, Canada and the EU as they apply to your management of vendors of services and materials and how the agencies are changing their interpretations. We will examine successful workable processes that are compliant with the regulations and yet efficient from a business perspective, and show how companies meet these stringent regulations.
The incorporation of risk management into the development and execution of the program will be highlighted for clinical as well as commercial products, irrespective of whether they are manufactured within your own plants or in your contract manufacturer's facilities. You will also see how companies run foul of the agencies resulting in warning letters as the agency steps up interpretation and enforcement and how from this information you will be able to assure that you do not suffer the same fate.
Areas Covered in the Seminar:
- What the elements of a vendor qualification program are?
- What regulations govern the vendor qualification program?
- How the agencies are reinterpreting the regulations and enforcing them more stringently?
- How to develop and implement a program that is both compliant and efficient - a tiered program?
- What a compliant program looks like to the agency in this time of increased enforcement?
- How to incorporate risk management into the vendor program so you can focus your resources in the most vulnerable areas?
- The different challenges and how to manage them in the clinical trial and commercial stages.
- What the agencies expect from you to convince them you are in compliance and in control?
- How to manage vendors and contract manufacturers?
- Where companies go wrong and get into regulatory hot water and how to avoid it yourself ?
Who Will Benefit:
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all in pharmaceutical and biotech industries who manufacture products for clinical and commercial uses. The employees who will benefit include:
- QA staff and management
- Regulatory Affairs staff and management
- QC staff and management
- Compliance auditors
- Manufacturing management
- Project managers working in the CMC arena
- Senior managers and executives
- Process scientist and management

Topic Background:
The selection of service or material providers is an important step in the manufacturing process whether it be the selection of a contract manufacturer, a testing laboratory or a supplier of raw materials or components. In addition, the reasoning for the choice and its documentation are equally or even more important. As agencies try to improve the risk profile of products, they have reinterpreted regulations and are enforcing them more stringently. However, this is often overlooked or poorly documented by companies as evidenced by the large number of Warning Letters and regulatory actions taken by regulatory bodies worldwide over the last 18 months.
After selection of the provider, it is critical that the company constantly assess the performance of the provider during the life of the relationship to assure that their product is not adversely affected by the quality of the service. These periodic reviews must be documented and be available for the regulatory body to examine to assure compliance. With the increased enforcement by agencies, this area poses a particularly high risk area for companies particularly if they are not vigilant.

...because I'm absolutely not sure how it might be possible to confuse a star called "Eta Cassiopeiae" with a star called "61 Ursae Majoris". :) -- Cid Highwind 14:49, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed the following nitpick: "In fact, from Archer's vantage point in 'Home', the real star 61 Ursae Majoris was not to the left of Polaris, but far to the right. Eta Cassiopeiae and Gamma Cephei were among stars that actually were 'just to the left'." --Defiant (talk) 14:34, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Balancing the books
The "debate" around Hilary Mantel's comments about how the media portrays Kate Middleton shows why publishing remains a notch above the fourth estate. Mantel's talk, a subtle historical perspective on royalty that sought to make sense of how monarchy fascinates us, was ludicrously traduced by the Daily Mail (and others) and turned into something more akin to, well, what a Daily Mail columnist might write, rather than the work of a novelist who has twice won the Man Booker Prize.
This was a shame for Mantel, for the national discussion, and for those who think journalism can be better than this. Mantel has wisely chosen to remain above the reaction, but can take heart from the huge support she gained from those who actually read (or heard) the speech, and, of course, an increase in sales.
But there is a backdrop to this that should not go unexplored. The book business faces a hollowing out of its culture, of which Mantel has been a fine ambassador. She is precisely the kind of writer we need, someone skilled at her craft, able to convey precise details and profound ideas in dense yet readable prose, and someone for whom success was not immediate, but a result of years of investment by her publishers, booksellers and the author herself.
Mantel is also the kind of writer the industry might struggle to support in the future. Ever since before the Net Book Agreement fell, publishing has worried over the depth and diversity of its lists, with the advent of BookTrack (now BookScan) in the late '90s bringing in a commercial edge to discussions on new acquisitions—welcomed by some, decried by others.
A decade on, the big books sell more (much more in fact), and the difficult titles continue to sell enough to justify time and money. Publishing is generally more profitable than it was and bookshops, though in decline, remain a force.
It may not always be so. The three pillars that support the sector—price, a diverse marketplace and copyright—are all under threat, while the shift to digital has up to now favoured quickly produced commercial fiction over slow-burners, when it is the latter that will underpin the sector in the long term.
Newspapers are driven by different agendas than book publishers, and the internet has meant they have become more short-termist. The book business needs to maintain a better balance—jam today, vintage wine tomorrow.

Ottawa (AFP) Oct 30, 2013
The families of two Canadian Greenpeace activists detained in Russia over an Arctic oil drilling protest pleaded Wednesday for Ottawa to further pressure Moscow to release them.
The Netherlands brought a case against Russia to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, while the leaders of Germany, Britain and others have spoken out against the detentions.
But Ottawa has remained silent on the matter, which involves Canadians Paul Ruzycki and Alexandre Paul.
"Governments around the world are speaking out about this at the highest levels. Canadians are waiting for their government to voice its concern," Greenpeace Canada executive director Joanna Kerr told reporters.
The group and the men's families appealed in a statement to the Canadian government "to do everything within their power to secure the two men's safe release."
A government spokeswoman said Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Lynne Yelich had met with Greenpeace and "addressed their views directly," but offered no details, citing privacy laws.
The official said consular services were also being provided to both Ruzycki and Paul.
Moscow has sparked an international outcry over its heavy-handed response to the incident, in which two Greenpeace activists scaled a state-owned oil platform in September to protest against Russian energy exploration in the Arctic.
Ruzycki and Paul were among 28 crew members and two journalists aboard the Dutch-flagged icebreaker Arctic Sunrise in the northern Murmansk region who were detained on piracy charges, which prosecutors later reduced to hooliganism.
"My brother is not a pirate or a hooligan," said Ruzycki's sister Patti Stirling at the Parliament Hill press conference also attended by Alexandre Paul's mother.

Problems with Droid 2 GlobalBecky0277 Jun 1, 2011 2:11 PM
I'll try and make the back story short.
Upgraded to a "certified" Droid 2 in January (2011). A few weeks after I received it, the phone started getting extremely hot. I took it out of my pocket and set it on my purse to cool (I was indoors anyways). Came back to it 30 min later and it was still hot. All of the sudden a message warning about the temperature came up, and I had to shut down the phone.
Took it to a Verizon store and they said they had never seen/heard of that happening. So they order me another "certified" device. I get that phone, and a day or two later when I tried to use the camera the screen was black. It was like the shutter was totally broken. I take it back to the Verizon store again. They order me yet another "certified" phone.
Since I have had that one, the phone still gets hot. A few weeks ago, I left my phone to charge overnight and the next morning the phone had not charged at all! I tried the charger in different outlets and even on the car charger. NOTHING. So I make a stop on my way to work, come out 15-20 minutes later and plug it in to the car charger and it starts to charge! THE PHONE WAS TOO HOT TO CHARGE! I took it to the Verizon store and all they could do was order me another "certified" phone. I refused and wanted to talk to someone who could do something more. They ended up giving me a new battery.
I then installed an application to monitor battery temperature. With some use (not heavy), the battery has gotten up to 114 degrees! I don't know, but I don't think a battery should be getting that hot. Also, the phone is starting to reboot itself randomly. Sometimes I have to tap several times on the screen to get an app to open up. The phone freezes and I have to shut it down and turn it back on.
And over this weekend, a new problem has come up. At the top of my screen it gives me the little icon that text messages have not been sent. I've deleted every text message, and as soon as I go back into it the icon comes back up again.
All Verizon will do now is send me yet another "ceritfied" phone. Either that or I can go through the manufacturer. I have told them I do not want another one of these devices since I've had nothing but problems with their "certified" phones. I was also told that I could do a "trade-in" on my phone, which is only $72.00. I would still have to pay full price for a new phone.
Anyways, the point of all this is has anybody had problems like this with a Droid 2 and/or one of Verizon's "certified" phones???

He introduced Mystery Inc. to the viewers with the GSI. He was managing a special episode of Ghost Scene Investigators where the Scooby gang would test their methods for mysteries.
When the show's ratings began to rise because of the Scooby gang, he invited them on more mysteries, despite GSI's protests.
After the mystery in Ocean Land; he became so greedy for the show's "high ratings" that he told the GSI that he was replacing them with Mystery Inc.. He also insisted that the gang get a vacation, so they went to Wolf's End Lodge, where the GSI came in.
At the climax, Mace was unmasked as the Ghost Hunter Haunter. At the very end, Scooby revealed that Mace was really Old Man Wiggins.

Gold Wing 1800's are notorious for speedometers that run about 5% high. As I like to have an accurate speedometer, I chose to install a Yellow Box (www.blackrobotics.com) speedometer correction unit WITHOUT cutting and splicing into the wiring harness.
My solution was to build my own wiring harness that I inserted in between a factory wiring harness connector located behind the right air vent. Below are the steps I took to install it:
I removed the right side trim strip, the right glove box and the cover which holds the glove box key along with the bottom three ALLEN bolts which gave me a bit more flexibility in working with connectors and finally the air vent. The connector is located behind the air vent and one does not need to remove the top shelter to do this installation; however, it is a bit difficult and patience is your friend. I perservered and finally located the white 3 wire connector (#1 pin has white with black stripe from the speed sensor, #2 pin is green (ground) and #3 (brown) is power. The connector was very hard to disconnect, but fortunately I have small hands. Attached is a picture of the connector on the wire that leads to the speed sensor.
I then cut a couple of short pieces of jumper wire and connected the RED from the YB to the BROWN jumper and affixed the appropriate terminal ends. The BLACK from the YB was connected to the GREEN ground wire. The WHITE from the YB was affixed to a pin on the Speed Sensor connector that I built. The GREY YB wire was affixed to the connector leading to the speedometer unit. All connections were soldered including the wire to pin connections. Below is a photo of the completed harness.
I then connected my new harness (which was duly wrapped with wiring loom protection. It really was hard to connect the upper connector as there is very little room. I ended up using a small section of baling wire with a hook on the end to provide resistance to be able to press the connection together. Connecting the lower connector was a breeze. I then threaded the wire loom up to an area just in front of the glove box and zip tied the YB to the wiring loom along with the jumper plug that would be needed in the event of failure of the YB <which I never expect to happen>. Below is a picture of it in its final resting place.
My initial correction is 5% which makes the speedometer accurate. I wish the YB came with the jumper harness premade as it would be so simple to build at the factory.
While doing the project I found an unused 12v plug which I'm now going to use to wire a power plug in my right fairing pocket. It's found in the wiring group that's just behind the glove box key switch. The plug is reddish brown in color. I'll do that project sometime in the future which will include lengthening the accessory plug wire and drilling a large hole in the pocket.
The above was originally posted on the gl1800Riders.com message board, but I thought it might have some applicability and inspiration for someone who's Pashnit about motorcycles.
