nonexistinghero posted...If you don't think region locking is significant enough you need to start living in Europe.
I live in europe and while the scales have shifted minorly- we SOMETIMES get games up to a week before you guys... like Mario Kart 7, which we got a whole day before you guys, we still get shafted more than enough.
As an example I'm rather rustled about in terms of jimmies, 95% of Atlus releases simply evaporate before they make it here- I had to import Radiant Historia, and I'm staving off importing the Devil Survivor games- because they don't see the point of release over here and thus we never get them. That's not "We get them a year or two down the line", by the way, that's "We never get them and thus have to resort to piracy, import or a holiday abroad in the country" and each has their own positives and negatives.
(Please note that I'm not advertising or supporting the use of piracy in videogames, I'm stating it's an option people take)
Now for recent examples for the 3DS: They've released Code of Princess and Etrian Odyssey IV (Did they even make this game series? Hopefully they only published it...) two games I've had my eye on, but little more than that since they won't release here. Same goes for the Devil Survivor Overclocked game. There has been recent good news about Code of Princess and DSO being possibly released over here, but we're going to get them later than everyone else (CoP is only rumoured, though, and I doubt we'll see it until late 2013 if that)
I would like to re-iterate if I haven't done so already that these are all examples of games I would be willing to pay full price for on launch day, or import for a slightly cheaper price- but I can't because of the region lock. I'm having the choice taken away from me whether I want to buy it or not, because of Nintendo's greed.
Now with every game I want that comes out the question is not "When will it come out" but now "Will it come out in the EU?" and I don't want to have to fork out for another console just to buy a handful of games- that's highway robbery, but if it gets a lot worse then it looks like I'll have to.
Wall of text, I know, but it really bothers me. :/

I do. I'm sorry that Nintendo felt that they had to make people want to hack it in order for them to import games, but if they want to make a risk, they have to accept the consequences of the risk proving fatal.

I don't have to validate it. Thats your job if you don't think it real. Going "I don't believe that" makes you look like a idiot. The information there on the internet and is credible unless proven otherwise as the credientals of a website>Some random user by a mile.
2nd. Are you a parrot? Say a new line please. All the illegals download are the equivalent of software gotten for free. Rather or not they was going to get it with a price tag is irrelevant as they are getting access to a media they didn't pay for. This is the bottomline or are you gonna argue against this fact?
Forgive the rudeness. I wake up at 6:00 in the mourning for school.

I don't understand why so many people want the region lock taken away. Why do you want to play games that you can't read and understand? Why do you want to pay extra money to import? Save that money for something more valuable. Stop acting like you're entitled to play games. Gaming is a hobby, not a Constitutional right.
I always rush here to tell GameFAQs my problems!

Not trying to spark any arguments here, but here's something I just thought of...
It may not be a constitutional right, but it is a right of Humanity. As it was once said, We hold the Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. We pursue games because they make us happy, thus, "The Pursuit of Happiness". Simple as that.
Of course, there are all the possible counter-arguments like "There are other ways to pursue happiness!" or "It's only the Pursuit of, not the obtainment of!" and stuff like that, but like I said, I'm not trying to start a war of Semantics, just stating something I observed.
You may now return to your argument of the Region Lock.

I never thought I'd be able to bring myself to this, allowing the memories of my troubled past to resurface in my mind. I had to, though, in order to write this. In order to warn someone. It's hard, but I'm still writing. What you're about to read about will become a part of your life, just as it did to mine.
It all began when a light appeared in my room.
I used to live in Southern Arizona, a few miles outside of Sonoita. In those parts, the skies are usually lit up at night by the stars. The orientation of my room makes it so my bed is next to a large window. The light from the starry sky normally illuminates my room.
One night, the stars weren't shining. I don't recall how young I was, but I remember that I was terrified of the dark. I lay facing that window with my back facing my room the whole night. I stared into space, silently begging the stars to reappear, because I kept thinking I felt a hand reach over me. I was too scared to turn over and look. I scrunched my eyes shut, and the night passed sleepless. I thought it was over then.
A few nights later, the stars were gone again. I rolled over to survey my room. Although it was pitch black, if there was movement, I would have detected it. Reassured, I rolled over and fell asleep facing the window.
I was woken by a single footstep. I opened my eyes slowly, but did not turn around. There was nothing but silence, not even my own breathing or the breathing of whatever was in my room — if there was anything in my room. The footstep had sounded close to my bed. VERY close. Though my heart pounded in my chest, the room was quiet. I calmed down just a bit and started breathing again.
A hand dragged across my back.
I froze in terror. The hand rolled around blindly, as if it didn't have a sense of touch. A gnarled, misshapen body pushed against me, stumbling, its hands groping for something it didn't know was there: me. I felt no fear anymore; just cold, just an absence of feeling. The thing's skin was dry, but its veins pumped blood; human blood. It left a few hours later, when the first rays of sunlight rose from the empty night. The whole time it had been tripping, grasping the air, and I never opened my eyes, fearing what would happen if I did.
It didn't return for at least a month after that. A few days before the next incident, I went camping with my family. The two days we spent out in the woods saw no sign of the human-creature. Upon returning to my house from our trip late at night, I perceived that the stars weren't out. A hint of dread fell on me as I took off my coat and heard a thump behind me.
I slowly turned around, but saw nothing. My fear had not subsided at all, but I turned off the lights anyway. Not the best of choices, I know, but I wasn't thinking straight right then. The first thing I noticed was odd — it hadn't gone completely dark. A thin ray of light slightly illuminated my room, not enough too see clearly by, but enough to equal the light of the stars. The human-creature didn't show up that night at all, as if the light repelled it. I got little sleep, though, because I knew it was still waiting, waiting for darkness to come back.
When morning finally arrived, I looked in the corner from which the light had been shining and found a flashlight from my camping trip. I had forgotten to turn it off before putting it in my coat pocket, resulting in the faint light in my room. I understood then that I needed light for protection. God knows what would have happened if I had fallen asleep on those starless nights.
From that point on, I had to keep my light on in my room to ward off the darkness. It followed me, waiting, until recently I stopped sensing its presence. The human-creature left me, looking for easier prey. Where it went, I have no idea, but I still keep my light on today, for it can always return when the stars disappear.

Good News On The Copyright Front
Posted on 4/24/2013 by

The Associated Press has scored a significant copyright victory in the case Associated Press v. Meltwater. While the issue in this case was about the "scraping" and re-purposing of copyrighted text it could have important applications for photographers whose images are grabbed and re-purposed by Internet sites. Meltwater's fair use defense was struck down by the court.
For more information read
Simon Pulman's
report below. Pulman is with the law firm
(Cowan, DeBaets, Abraham & Sheppard LLP) that specializes in media and entertainment law servicing individual creators, corporations, associations and non-profit organizations. PACA Counsel
Nancy E. Wolff
is also a partner with the firm.
The Associated Press scored a significant victory this past week in a case indicating that the scales may be beginning to tip in favor of content owners in the battle over online copyright infringement. In Associated Press v. Meltwater, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted plaintiff The Associated Press's ("AP") motion for summary judgment with one exception, while denying defendant Meltwater U.S. Holdings, Inc.'s ("Meltwater") equivalent motion. Most significantly, the court, in a 90-page opinion, held that Meltwater's practice of "scraping" the internet and offering excerpts of news stories through its "Global Media Monitoring" service does not constitute fair use.
After ruling that AP had successfully carried its burden of showing both its ownership in the articles in dispute and Meltwater's copying of those works, the court analyzed Meltwater's fair use defense using the established four part test from Section 107 of the Copyright Act: (1) the purpose and character of the use; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The court found that three of the four factors weighed against a finding of fair use.
On the first factor, the court rejected Meltwater's argument that the purpose and use of its news reports, and the excerpts contained within those reports, are transformative. The court found that, "Meltwater copies AP content in order to make money directly from the undiluted use of the copyrighted material; this is the central feature of its business model and not an incidental consequence of the use to which it puts the copyrighted material." While Meltwater's transformative use argument relied on its characterization of its service as a search engine (which search companies have successfully argued in cases such as Perfect 10 v. Amazon and Kelly v. Arriba Soft makes the use "transformative" because a search engine's primary function is to direct users to information and provide relevant context), the court rejected that argument outright. It held that Meltwater does not function like a search engine but rather as an "expensive subscription service" that provides subscribers with significant portions of articles directly copied from AP and consciously markets itself as a substitute for news sites operated or licensed by AP.
The court emphatically distinguished Meltwater's behavior from the transformative use described in the Ninth Circuit's Perfect 10 andArriba Soft cases, concluding that "using the mechanics of search engines" to provide copyrighted materials to consumers in response to their search requests does not immunize a defendant from the standards of conduct imposed by law through the Copyright Act. According to the court, there are no bright-line rules that would prevent a defendant from having to independently establish that the fair use defense applies to the case at hand. It also stated that Meltwater's provision of analysis and analytics tools did not render its copying and redistribution of article excerpts transformative.
On the second fair use factor, "nature of the copyrighted work," the court stated that AP's articles, as news stories, are more vulnerable to application of fair use than works of fiction. Accordingly, it held that the second factor weighed in favor of a finding of fair use. With respect to the third fair use factor, "amount and substantiality," the court remarked that Meltwater took between 4.5% and 61% of the news articles at issue. It also automatically took the opening lede of every AP article, the part of the article described by AP's Standards Editor as intended to "convey the heart of the story." Rejecting Meltwater's arguments, the court held that Meltwater failed to show that it takes only the amount of material from AP's articles necessary for it to function as a search engine. Thus, this factor weighed against a finding of fair use.
On the fourth and final fair use factor, the effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work, the court's analysis also weighed heavily against Meltwater. It observed that AP has expended "considerable effort" to develop an online presence and licenses its content to media monitoring services that directly compete with Meltwater. In a fairly critical analysis, the court remarked that "Meltwater's business model relies on the systematic copying of protected expression and the sale of collections of those copies in reports that compete directly with the copyright owner and that owner's licensees and that deprive that owner of a stream of income to which it is entitled."
In addition to rejecting Meltwater's fair use defense, the court also rejected Meltwater's implied fair use, equitable estoppel and copyright misuse defenses, while it granted the parties an additional opportunity to address the issue of potential injunctive action.
Takeaway Observations
The Meltwater decision is significant for (at least) three different reasons. First, it represents a significant victory for journalists, news content owners and legitimate content distributors more generally. Throughout the opinion, the court repeatedly stresses the importance of protecting journalistic work from copyright infringement while emphasizing the creative skill and originality necessitated by reporting on the news. On multiple occasions, the court asserts that Meltwater's business model – which generates millions of dollars per year in revenue – relies almost entirely upon its intentional use of AP's research and reporting. In addition to remarking upon the creative skill it takes to craft a strong lede to a story (and hence asserting the value of a lede as the "heart" of a journalistic work), the court included one comment that may particularly please content owners accustomed to seeing their expensive intellectual property devalued by aggregation and file sharing.
Investigating and writing about newsworthy events occurring around the globe is an expensive undertaking and enforcement of the copyright laws permits AP to earn the revenue that underwrites that work. Permitting Meltwater to take the fruit of AP's labor for its own profit, without compensating AP, injures AP's ability to perform this essential function of democracy.
The second takeaway observation from the decision is that the court is tactful, even-handed and nuanced in its analysis. In particular, it refuses to be pulled into debating the "old media profiteering vs. freedom of information" polemic leveraged so successfully by the tech industry during last year's SOPA debate; with a footnote, the court confirms, in response to amicus briefs in support of Meltwater, that it has taken into account the effect of the ruling on the operation of "legitimate" online services. Instead, the court points out on several occasions that the ability for content owners to profit from their work and the benefits presented to consumers by new technology are not mutually exclusive. AP has invested significant money and resources in its technology capabilities and, as the court details at some length, is extremely flexible with respect to the options it presents for licensing its content. One of the conventional arguments leveled at content owners is that they do not make it sufficiently easy for consumers to enjoy their content legally online. That accusation, as the court noted in its fair use analysis, cannot be leveled at AP.
The final takeaway observation involves the significance and consequence of the decision. On one hand, this is a district court opinion which Meltwater says it will appeal and is not precedent on a national level. On the other hand, the decision could have significant consequences for other companies that profit by scraping, quoting and repurposing copyrighted content. Business Insider and Buzzfeed, for instance, have generated significant growth upon the model of reacting quickly to publish stories about "trending" topics that often liberally quote material from other sources. If the tone of the Meltwater decision is followed by other courts, we may see a significantly more heated and nuanced discussion of what constitutes transformative fair use online.

How To Get The Most Energy Out Of Your Day
Does the busy back-to-school season have you running around? Do you get out of work and have no motivation to do the things you need to get done, or even to go out and enjoy yourself? It's easy to feel drained when you've got a lot on your plate, but don't allow yourself to feel that way anymore! Tackle your busy days effortlessly by following some of these simple steps in order to keep your energy going.
Embrace Your Mornings
How you begin your day is key to how you are going to feel for the rest of it. No one likes crawling out of bed, but there are ways you can make doing so a heck of a lot easier!
Try to wake up at the same time every morning. No matter how late you went to bed the night before, set your alarm so that you're up by a specific time each day - Yes, this includes weekends! Do not allow yourself to hit snooze; Falling back asleep may interrupt your hormone cycle, making it harder for your body to maintain energy throughout the rest of the day.
By syncing your body to your usual schedule, getting up and out the door each day will become a bit more bearable. When something such as getting out of bed at a certain time becomes routine, the energy you once required to get through your morning routine is no longer needed, and can be put to use in better ways.
Once you get out of bed, open those curtains! Our bodies recognize bright, natural light as a wake-up sign, which will have you feeling more energized in the morning. Avoid checking and responding to emails, texts, or calls until you get into the office. Use your mornings as a time to clear your mind so that you don't start your day in a dozen different directions and have yourself feeling overwhelmed before you even leave the house.
Eat breakfast even if you are not hungry. Skipping a meal affects your energy levels negatively, because it throws off your metabolism. Your body begins to store energy rather than use it, and burns less calories, adding to gradual weight gain if you regularly skip a meal. At breakfast, try to incorporate good carbs and fiber with a bit of protein - all of which will provide you with energy for the day.
Additionally, taking all-natural supplements each morning can help get you the energy you need. Because chlorophyll helps to oxygenate the blood, it is effective in keeping energy levels up. Our pure Moringa powder in our Moringa Capsules is also famous for its energizing abilities, and for providing mental clarity.
Avoiding The Afternoon Crash
STAY ACTIVE! Bodies in motion, stay in motion - so avoid sitting as much as you can. Walk over to someone's office rather than calling them. Take the stairs over the elevator. On break, go for a brisk walk outside. Staying in motion keeps your blood pumping which then gets your energy going. When you are sedimentary for a long period of time, your blood vessels begin to constrict, causing energy levels to drop. Studies have shown that even just a 10-minute walk can provide you with an energy boost that lasts up to 2 hours.
Aim to eat small meals every 3-4 hours. Doing so will help to keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable, rather than gorging a huge breakfast and not eating again until mid afternoon. When food sits in the stomach, we feel heavy and less energetic. This is because large meals require more energy in order to be digested - energy your body could be using toward something else. Try to stick to unrefined carbs, lean meats, and healthy fats. Our brain and muscles need carbs in order to function at their best ability and keep us energized, and research has shown that adding protein alongside carbs helps to improve concentration. Once they enter the bloodstream, healthy fats also become a great source of energy for our bodies to utilize.
Choose foods that are hearty in magnesium, which improves cellular function and turns glucose into energy, and omega 3's, which regulate your metabolism, improve brain cell health and alertness, and increase oxygen intake.
Tip: For an energizing afternoon snack, try a trail-mix of magnesium-rich almonds, hazelnuts, and cashews, and omega-3-packed walnuts and pecans.
As tempting as it sounds and as drained as you may feel around 2:00pm, don't make the trip to your favorite coffee shop past noon. Caffeine has a half-life of 5.7 hours, which means it can stay in your system and keep you awake for up to about 10 hours. Drinking coffee later in the day will only keep you up later at night when you should really be heading to bed and getting the rest you obviously need. If you really need a pick-me-up, choose green tea over coffee. It has a much lower caffeine content than coffee and has even been found to promote weight loss when consumed daily.
Stay Hydrated!
Stay hydrated! Everyone knows how dehydration feels - your head hurts, you get dizzy, and you're not motivated to do anything. This is because even very mild dehydration can cause your heart to exert extra energy and work extra hard in order to pump blood. That energy is better off being exerted in other ways!
Sleep: The Key To Energy
Sleep is our body's way of re-charging. According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults ages 18-64 should be getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep each night. To make sure you get a good night's rest so that you are energized for the following day, avoid alcohol for the last two hours before you head to bed, and sleep in a cool, dark place.

3 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this current loop application note is to introduce the reader to the physical aspects of 20 ma current loop communications. Until the early 1960 s, military teleprinters used 60 ma current loops to communicate over long distances. In 1962, the Model 33 teletype was introduced and 20 ma current loop interfaces became widely used. Throughout the 60 s, 70 s, and early 80 s, 20 ma current loop interfaces were applied in many types of equipment. Current loop interfaces became popular at this time because they offered the most cost effective approach to long distance, noise immune data transmission. The 20 ma current loop is suitable for distances to 2000 feet at data rates up to 19.2k baud with careful attention to interface design. It can be used at longer distances when data rates are as low as 300 baud. When the EIA 422 Standard (December 1978) and the EIA 485 Standard (April 1983) brought forth the application of balanced differential digital data transmission, the popularity of 20 ma current loop rapidly diminished. Current Loop Application Note
4 2.0 The Basics of Current Loop 2.1 Full-duplex 20 ma Circuit Figure 1 is a full-duplex 20 ma current loop circuit. Simultaneous two-way communications is possible with this circuit. Two 20 ma current generators are necessary with this circuit. It is possible to have one of the two current generators in one current loop interface and the other current generator in the other interface. For example, the original IBM PC serial adapter card had a current loop interface that contained only one current generator. When you made a correct connection to this current loop interface, the second current loop device would need to provide one current loop generator.

5 2.2 The Simplex 20 ma Circuit Figure 2 is a diagram of a simplex 20 ma current loop circuit. The fundamental elements of a 20 ma current loop are a current source, a current switch, and a current detector. The transmitter is the current switch and the receiver is the current detector. The interface that contains the current source is called the active unit and all other units are referred to as passive units. Figure 3 is a diagram of the levels in an RS-232 interface and how they relate to the presence and absence of current in a 20 ma current loop circuit. In a 20 ma loop the current flows when the loop is idle (no data being transmitted). In a simplex type circuit a number of transmitters and receivers are put in series in a current loop. As long as only one transmitter sends data, all receivers receive the data. (Only one device can transmit at a time) Receiver Receiver Transmitter (Current is ON when data is not transmitted) 20 ma current loop generator Transmitter (Current is ON when data is not transmitted) passive side active side Figure 2.

Comparison of signal levels in an RS-232 Circuit and a 20-mA Current loop Circuit 2.3 Problems with 20 ma Current Loop The main problem with 20 ma current loop is that there is no mechanical or electrical standard defined for this interface. This makes every interface somewhat unique and the user must know some of the technical details about the circuits used in the interface. Data In U1 Vs Rs Current switch (Transmitter) Current generator U2 Current detector (Receiver) Data Out Figure 4. Simplified one direction current loop Figure 4 is a simplified one-way current loop implemented with two optocouplers, a voltage source, and a resistor. Optocoupler U1 is the transmitter and optocoupler U2 is the receiver. The value of the loop current in this circuit is: 4 Current Loop Application Note 1495
7 I loop = (Vs - V transmitter -V receiver)/rs for typical optocouplers V transmitter (U1) =.2 v when turned ON V receiver (U2) = 1.8 v when input LED is conducting If Vs = 12 volts & Rs = 470 ohms then I loop = (12v -.2v - 1.8v)/470 ohms I loop = 10v/470 ohms = 21.3 ma If we changed Vs = 60 v and left Rs = 470 then I loop = (60v -.2v -1.8v)/470 ohms = 123 ma If we changed Vs = 5 v and left RS = 470 ohms then I loop = (5v -.2v -1.8v)/470 ohms = 6.4 ma The point of showing these different calculations is to demonstrate that the loop currents circuit can vary by considerable amounts, if Vs is varied. Likewise, if Rs was changed the loop currents could also vary considerably. The only way to determine that currents are near 20 ma is to examine the circuit in detail. 2.4 Current Regulation in Current Loops Several methods can be used to control the amount of current in a current loop circuit. This section will illustrate several common methods of regulating the current in a current loop. Current Loop Application Note
8 2.4.1 Constant Current Generator Current Source Figure 5 is a circuit that uses a linear voltage regulator integrated circuit to serve as a constant current source. Almost any fixed or adjustable voltage regulator can be used. The example shown in Figure 6 uses an LM317 adjustable regulator because is provides a low amount of voltage drop (3 volts) across the current regulator circuit. For example, if Vs was 12 volts in this circuit, then the maximum voltage that the constant current regulator could drive would be 9 volts. The 62 ohm, Rg resistor sets the regulator current because there is an internal voltage reference in the LM317 between VO and the ADJ pins of 1.25 volts. VI LM317 Adj VO Rg 62 Vs I loop = 1.25/Rg = 1.25/62 = 20 ma I loop Maximum output voltage equal to (Vs - 3v) Figure 5. Constant Current Generator for a 20 ma Current Loop In a current loop, the sum of all the voltage drops across all the devices must be less than the voltage source, Vs driving the loop. Each device in the current loop whether it is a transmitter (current switch) or receiver (current detector) has some voltage drop across it. For instance, a typical transistor switch can have typically 0.2 volts drop across it. For most of B&B Electronics converters, the voltage drop across the transmitters can be as much 2.3 volts when the switch is turned ON. The reason for this is that the transmitter switch must provide for the reverse bias of the internal photo detector diode inside the optocoupler. An optocoupler used as a current detector will have from 1.2 to 2.0 volts drop across it. 6 Current Loop Application Note 1495
9 U1 Rb Q1 Q2 Rg I loop max. =.7 Rg Figure 6. Current Limiter built into Tranmitter Transmitter Current Limiter Some current loop interfaces incorporate current limiting into the transmitter (current switch) itself. Figure 6 is an example of a circuit that has built-in current limiting so that the loop current cannot exceed 20 ma. In this circuit Rg provides a source of bias current for Q2 so that if the loop current tries to exceed 20 ma Q2 will shunt Q1 base bias current so that Q1 will not conduct more than 20 ma. U1 Q1 Rg I emitter (max.) =.7 Rg Figure 7. Current Limiter built into Receiver Receiver Current Limiter The circuit shown in Figure 7 is used not to regulate the loop current, but to regulate the maximum emitter current in the optocoupler, U1. This is done because some optocouplers require less than 20 ma to operate at maximum speed. Transistor Q1 is used to shunt some of the loop current around the emitter of optocoupler, U1. Current Loop Application Note
10 3.0 Current Loop Interface Connections To connect our converter to an existing current loop port, you must first determine if the port is active or passive. What this means is: does the port have an internal power supply that provides the current (active) for the transmitter, the receiver, or both (transmitter and receiver). The simplest way to determine this is to break the loop (disconnect it) and see if there is any DC voltage across the output or input pairs. If you have access to the instruction manual for the unit you can also look in there for the information. Current loop interfaces normally consist of four wires. They are usually labeled,,, and. and are the transmit plus and transmit minus lines and data is output from that device on those lines. The and lines are the receive plus and receive minus lines and data is input into that device on these lines. Interconnection of the two current loop devices is different depending on whether your unit is active or passive. 3.1 Connection to an Active Current Loop Port Connection to an active current loop port is very simple. Your units and lines go to our units and lines. And your units and lines go to our units and lines. See the following drawing. Note: The & indentification doesn't imply a direct connection across the receiver. RS-232 to Current Loop Converter Vs Vs Active Current Loop Port Note: The & indentification doesn't imply a direct connection across the transmitter. Figure 8. Connection to an Active Current Loop 8 Current Loop Application Note 1495
11 3.2 Connection to a Passive Current Loop Port Connection to a passive current loop port is a little harder. You must use a 12 VDC power supply with the 470 ohm resistors inside of our converter to "create" a 20 ma current source. See the following drawing. RS232 TO CURRENT LOOP CONVERTER 14 PASSIVE CURRENT LOOP CONVERTER VDC YOUR EQUIPMENT Figure 9. Connection to a Passive Current Loop 3.3 Interconnection of Two Current Loop Converters Interconnection of two B&B current loop converters also requires the use of a 12 VDC power supply since they are both passive port. See the following drawing VDC Figure 10. Interconnection of Two Current Loop converters Current Loop Application Note
12 4.0 What Isn t Digital Current Loop to 20 ma Analog Current Loop The diagram shown in Figure 11 is an analog 4 to 20 ma current loop. This circuit is mentioned here because it is sometimes confused with 20 ma digital current loop. The purpose of 4 to 20 ma analog current loop is to transmit the signal from an analog sensor over some distance in the form of current signal. Only two wires are required to send the analog signal and also supply power to the sensor. A loop supply voltage (24 volts in Figure 11) is used to power the remote sensor. The remote sensor regulates the loop current such that the loop current represents the value of the parameter being measured by the sensor. A series resistor RL at loop power supply converts this current to a voltage that can be used by the electronics to record or distribute the parameter being measured. V+ never drops below +12 v Loop Supply 24 v Cable to Sensor V+ Remote sensor electronics Sensor Output Signal R L may draw up to 4 ma Com sensor Figure to 20 ma analog current loop 4.2 HART 4 to 20 ma Current Loops Figure 12 is another example of a type of 4 to 20 ma combined analog & digital current loop. This current loop uses HART Communications protocol. The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol is used for SMART remote transducers that are compatible with 4 to 20 ma analog current loops but also have digital communications on the same two wires. This is accomplished by superimposing a two-tone Frequency Shift Keyed (FSK) digital current signal on the 4 to 20 ma analog signal. 10 Current Loop Application Note 1495

Hi guys,
We all seen chapter 655 by now, so overall It was a good chapter. We got to know some interesting information about some Islands, pretty much their names. The Straw hats are visiting a strange Island named Punk Hazard, after they received a weird call asking for help and being stabbed by samurais. Apparently, the island is located in the wano country. The island is really hot, hence Robin taking off her clothes *_*!!.... It also looks like it used to be a WG base, anyway the end of the manga is most surprisingly WEIRD... we get to see a dwelling dragon..asking the straw hats a question. We also could see Smoker again and he mentionned that Punk Hazard is desserted since an incident occured several years ago.
Interesting turn of events!!!... Tell me, what did you like about this week chapter.. did you like it?... what theories do you guys have about this island.. COME on guys share your opinion!!
Jonny!!! are you doing another blog!!
yes mommy =(
Come over here RIGHT NOW!!!...
Okay.. mommy...

Subtotal: $ 0.00 USD
Merle Haggard's youngest son, Ben, may have just turned 23, but he's been showing off his musical talents for the past eight years.
Ben has been following in his father's legendary footsteps, with hopes of becoming a country music singer. In addition to his talents as a vocalist, Ben is an extremely successful guitarist, and tours as the lead guitarist for his father's band The Strangers.
Over the years, Ben has also covered many of his father's greatest songs and shared his performances online with his fans.
One of Ben's most-viewed videos on his YouTube channel is his version of his father's song "Leaving's Not The Only Way To Go," which he covered in 2010. Even at the young age of 18, it was clear that Ben had the natural talent to make himself a big country music star.
Now, after years of covering his father's songs, Ben posted a short video to his Facebook performing a song that we don't recognize.
He captioned the video "Just a tease," making us wonder if the song is original, and if that means Ben may be releasing his own music sometime soon. We sure hope so!
You can listen to Ben's short teaser performance in the video below.
What do you think? Would you like to see some original material from Ben in the future?

Let This Winter Leave Us First - Poem by M.D Dinesh Nair
Let the frozen winter leaves fall one by one
Green leaves, they may lie buried through our eyes
As the trees started weeping last night itself
And their knees too were sobbing
Let misty sky fade out for now
And slide across the forehead of horizon
For the last night on the floor we saw its sign
The west and the east are shaking with cold.
Wingless are our birds perhaps flying
Although we have left a little snowy sky for them
Then at dawn on the top of horizon
You need not search for howling nightingales.
Leave your grass and leave your fruits, dear mist
Get ready for death during our bright days ahead
Search for none of migrating storks later
Even wild boars may lie safe afterwards, you know
Oh, dear smoke arise out of a fire you like
For aiding the crying sun who has gone in hide
In front of our dying today we know it for certain
You have to queue up for buying the tomorrow`s bright shades!

In The times of the great Romantic Revival, nature or season poetry used to be the song of hearts with the pleasures of a devotee that is called a pagan delight, but the hearts to day, being the victims of the extremities of the seasons compose such verses in which instead of the wordsworthian praises or Keatsian eulogies, we have the entreaties and the earnest requests to leave us first...the sun which is crying in the veiled state will be domineering us...but this is what life is that renders human being as a lover of a pleasant and moderate nature! I agree with all the comments here...! you are a prolific writer. (Report) Reply

The best of 2016's photographic achievements basically came down to a six-horse race for me, and not so different from Oscar's final five. My 'just missed' selection still managed an Oscar nom, and I'm not complaining. I seriously considered allowing myself six Best Cinematography nominees this year, but rules are rules. My five finalists are:
ARRIVAL (Bradford Young)
A study of stark visual contrasts. The world is already a shadowy, desaturated place before the visitors appear behind a wall of light.
LA LA LAND (Linus Sandgren)
Captures moments both grand and intimate in sweeping Cinemascope, emboldened with Technicolor hues to rival Hitchcock's Vertigo.
THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS (Adam Arkapaw)
Drops plenty of jaws with its stately, painterly compositions, often basked in ravishing light (except when dark clouds are called for).
MOONLIGHT (James Laxton)
Alternates between smooth objective camerawork and more colourfully lit, hand-held shots to accentuate moments of intimacy and impact.
SILENCE (Rodrigo Prieto)
Fog-shrouded exteriors and cramped, scantly lit spaces strike the perfect mood for a film driven by meditation and internalized questioning.
Just missed:
Lion (Grieg Fraser)
Other considerations:
Jackie (Stephane Fontaine)
Live By Night (Robert Richardson)
Nocturnal Animals (Seamus McGarvey)
The Witch (Jarin Blaschke)

Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan's death on Wednesday 11th January 2012 brought the number of Iranian nuclear scientists killed in the past two years to 4. According to IRNA, the state-run Iranian news agency, a magnetic bomb was planted under his car which killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan as well as a passerby, while 'gravely' injuring another.
Iranian officials were quick to blame Zionists – pointing to Israel's Mossad as the main culprit which is taking out its nuclear scientists. Independent sources aren't also far away from the deduction with most of them pointing to Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, and the United States. The Secretary of State for the US, Hillary Clinton was quick to deny. "I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," she said.
Other observers were quick to point the finger back at Iran stating that those killed were just opposition members targeted by Ahmadinejad's regime. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee released a statement in which he condemned the "cruel, inhumane and criminal acts of terrorism against the Iranian scientists." Adding that based on the evidence it was, "Similar to previous incidents, perpetrators used the same terrorist method in assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists".
Whatever be the case, being a scientist is easily turning out to be the most dangerous career paths one could choose in Iran. in a covert war against Iran's nuclear scientist the price of death is indeed very high. Saeed Kamali Dehghan writing for the Guardian has correctly called the covert war on Iran 'illegal, dangerous'. Here are the four prominent Iranian scientists who have been assassinated by mysterious 'acts of terrorism' in the past two years:
Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan
Ahmadi Roshan was 32, a chemistry expert and a graduate of Sharif University in Tehran. He was working as a deputy director of Natanz uranium enrichment facility for commercial affairs.
Majid Shahriari
Majid Shahriari, was assassinated in 2010 with the same methods as Ahmadi Roshan – by a magnetic bomb. He was a member of the nuclear engineering faculty at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran and cooperated with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
Fereydoun Abbasi Davani
Abbasi Davani survived the attack of 2010 which killed fellow scientist Majid Shahriari. He was at the time of his assassination, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. Davani was reportedly with his wife when he was targeted using the magnetic bomb. The bomb wounded his wife, while Davani lost his life.
Massoud Ali Mohammadi
Killed in January 2010, Massoud Ali Mohammadi was a university professor and nuclear scientist who publically backed opposition leader Hossein Mousavi during the disputed Iranian elections of 2010. According to the state-run news agency IRNA, an Iranian by the name of Majid Jamali Fashi, was sentenced to death after confessing to the planting of the bomb that killed Mohammadi.

The UIR is largely regarded currently as one of the primary instigators of the Second World War, when it invaded Syria. After the war, the UIR dissolved back into its original member states.
Much of the Islamic Republic's land consists of desert, and mountain ranges. Both the Tigress and Euphrates run through its Northern lands. It also rounds the Persian Gulf in the South, along the Arabian peninsula. It is one of the largest countries in terms of land, not incluindg the terriotrial possessions of other nations.
The UIR has an arid, hot climate, that reaches its height during the summer. Percipitation is very low throughout the entire Republic. There has been larger amounts of rainfall in the lands in the North.
Islam was the only religion that is allowed to be practiced in the UIR. All other religions were illegal, and were openly persecuted by the government, even if Islam was the minority. This lead to mass immigration to other nations, mostly Egypt and Rome.
The UIR's was a self described Islamic Republic, based on Sharia law. Aspects of religious law override laws of the state. The President held supreme authority in both religious and political affairs, and was the commander in chief of the military. Though the Constitution guarantees routine elections, elections were generally rigged, or there was no alternative. The Constiution, also defined Khalid Sayed as "President for Life".
The legislative body of the UIR was the High Religous Council. It consisted of representaitves from the many separate states throughout the Republic. The Council ratified treaties, and could dictate the national budget, though it could not do either without the approval of the President.
Judicial and Law Systems
The entire judiciary system was defined by Sharia law. Judcial courts were dominated by religious officials, and the President appointed judges. Courts were generally defined on the regional system, managed by the officials who govern them.
There were still punishments that resemble ancient Islamic tradition, such as beheading, or cutting off limbs as crimes. People were expected to conform the proper Islamic laws, and failure to conform to those laws was punished severely.
The UIR's military, known as the Holy Islamic Guard, was one of the most powerful in the region, being larger (but less advanced) than the Imperial Chinese Army, though not as large as the Egyptian Imperial Military. The President wass the Commander in Chief. There were bases chiefly along the borders.
Foreign Relations
The UIR's rheroric, and uncomprimising positions lead to strained relations. After withdrawing from the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, repeated sanctions were placed on the UIR, which further strained relations. Its open desires to be a world power, on par, if not surperior to that of its rivals, did not help. Relations are worst between it an Egypt.

- This episode marks the first sighting of the Evil Monkey.
- The theme music for The Communists' cutaway is the same as Peter's theme music in "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 1" as he skips down the street on his shopping binge.
- Walter Murphy was nominated for an Annie Award for composing the music in this episode. [1]
- At the end of the song, Stewie jumps out of his clothes and rolls into two sleeping mats pushed together. With him naked on one and Janet also hinted at being naked on the other, both covered by a blanket, implying that they engaged in sexual activity.
- Peter talks about how he got in trouble as a kid, and we cut to a scene of the classic Dr. Seuss character, The Cat in the Hat, offering to clean up the house. Peter says "No, no, just go. It'll be funny!" In the original book, the cat wrecked the house, then cleaned it up in a matter of seconds before the children's parents got home.
- After getting free air travel, Peter dumps Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.
- Stewie serenades Janet with Frank Sinatra's "You Make Me Feel So Young".
- On the flight Lois is working, an Egyptian passenger says to her "Momken tekooni merati," which she does not understand. In the Egyptian dialect, it indeed translates to "Will you be my wife?"
- After leaving the Forgotten Children Club, Stewie sings "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen.
- Lois' exciting life involved meeting Kim Richards who played Tia Malone in Escape to Witch Mountain and Return from Witch Mountain. However.Lois conflates the titles to Escape from Witch Mountain.
- When Brian says "Well, well, well, looks like someone's in love" and bites into the apple, this is a subtle call back to "Brian in Love". When Stewie realizes that Brian has an attraction to Lois he says the same thing and bites into an apple as well.
- The artist's rendering of an attractive redhead married to a fat man is Wilma Flintstone and Fred Flintstone.

This week, we had a chance to speak with Al Powell, an assistant coach at Dunbar, in regards to what to expect from Cook's recruitment.
Powell said that Cook is nowhere near ready to think about making a commitment. Rather the player is working on his grades and won't move forward with his decision until after his high school season.
"In March we'll be moving," Powell said. "We'll be telling some people yes and some people no and we hope to make a decision in June or July. That's our plan on paper."
There are a few schools sure to make the initial cut, according to Powell. Said programs are Ohio State, Michigan, Cincinnati, Michigan State, North Carolina, Syracuse and Wake Forest. Most of those schools have already been in to see him.
"Recently Roy Williams was at an open gym," Powell said. "Thad Matta and Bob Huggins and Oklahoma was there. Michigan State has stopped in the school. Syracuse was there and Tommy Amaker. Michigan is a big fan.
"Oklahoma has come in and is selling his program really good and that's one reason I don't want to pigeon hole anybody. But there will come a time when we have to say 'this is what he's got to choose from.'"
When that time comes, schools from the tri-state area could play big roles. "The tri-state area appeals to his family but it's not a requirement."
Early childhood favorites aren't always the most reliable insight into a college decision, but for what it's worth, Cook was light blue fan. "North Carolina is his childhood favorite school. He's a big Michael Jordan fan."
Cook will spend his Midnight Madness on the campus of the University of Cincinnati.
Once the season ends, Powell said Cook will look to make his move. "By the end of the basketball season we want to have some official visits lined up. We want to see some of the teams play that he's interested in."

Napoli will hold fresh talks with Kalidou Koulibaly in a bid to persuade him to snub Premier League interest and sign a new contract, according to a report.
Italian publication Gazzetta Dello Sport have claimed on their website that a meeting will take place between the Serie A club and the defender's agent.
This comes amid heavy interest in Koulibaly from Everton and Chelsea.
Sport Italia television expert Ifredo Pedulla claimed on his website earlier this week that the Toffees had tabled a stunning £46million bid for the centre-back, 25, that would potentially annihilate the club's transfer record.
Chelsea then lodged an improved offer of £38million on Wednesday. Sky Sports citing Sky Italy claimed on their transfer centre page that the Stamford Bridge club made an even bigger bid for Koulibaly.
The reported size of Everton's bid demonstrates Farhad Moshiri's growing influence at the club after he became a majority shareholder earlier this year.
Koulibaly would become the most expensive player in Everton's history if the reported offer was accepted, comfortably surpassing £28million record signing Romelu Lukaku.
Koulibaly has been at Napoli for two years since joining from Metz for £6.5million, and has now played 60 times in Serie A.
The defender played 33 times in the Italian top flight in the 2015-16 season as Napoli finished nine points behind Juventus in second.
Ronald Koeman has been active in his search for players since arriving at Goodison Park this summer, but has been unsuccessful in the hunt for the likes of Graziano Pelle and most recently Axel Witsel.
In other Everton transfer news, the club are closing in on Koeman's first major signing after a medical took place on Thursday.

While Holcomb's sacrifices and bravery are undeniable, the veterans had an encounter and multiple struggles which no one seems to talk about when they get home. A lot of them find it hard to secure a proper job and minus the well-paying jobs, the dream of owning a home disappears entirely.
However, it was at a game of soccer, surprisingly that Holcomb and his wife received one of the best gifts anyone would want. A home free of mortgage, without any costs, for this great combat veteran and his entire family.
Appreciation to the wonderful people at the non-profit organization operation. Lastly at home, this great veteran and brave soldier along with many others are thanked with rewards for their sacrifice for the country. While we enjoy seeing welcome back home videos that feature returning soldiers from wars to their families, this video outshines them all.
For a long time, our country's military do not receive the respect they deserve. They undergo a lot while answering the nation's call. And in place of thanking these veterans, some citizens have made a decision to team up with local builders all over America to let their actions speak louder.
This is a heart-warming story that one should SHARE if he/she thinks of our country's brave soldiers deserve a home!
