The North is facing a point of inflection – political and fiscal devolution, the new dynamics of Mayors, as well as a pressing agenda of transport reform - all make for a critical point in the evolution of the North as a sub-national economic area.
Part of the North's current and future attractiveness, to live, work, visit and invest, lies within is its connectivity and mobility network. However, the existing transport network is complex: an interlinked set of travel modes, routes and technologies, underpinned by a broad range of commercial contracts and structures.
This matters, as a key characteristic of an effective and attractive region is its physical and digital connectivity, both between and within cities, regions and towns. As the North continues to grow, pressures on its network, also grow.
To increase connectivity on a constrained network, we need to think and act differently. This is where intelligent mobility – the connection of people, places and services through reimagined infrastructure across all transport modes and enabled by data, technology and innovative ideas – can revolutionise how we approach these challenges.
One intelligent mobility approach is known as Mobility as a Service (MaaS).
MaaS encourages people to think about their journeys in the whole context of getting from A to B, rather than as a series of constituent parts. It is tailor-made around their individual needs and preferences. For example, users can pay for multi-modal journeys with a single account, pay per trip or via a monthly subscription to cover end-to-end, integrated journeys making the most of all travel modes such as rail to bike, park and ride, bus and walking.
The development of a seamless MaaS offering can deliver greater network efficiencies and tackle existing transport challenges by:
These digitally and commercially enabled approaches (such as MaaS) require us to be organised and to operate differently in the future, using our existing physical infrastructure in new, and in some cases, unprecedented ways.
The publication of the Vehicle, Technology and Aviation Bill includes key measures to support the next generation of transport in the UK, providing a real opportunity for the regional transport strategy for the North to respond.
By planning for both incremental and transformative change and progress, the region can plan to unlock digital capability and innovations alongside its existing physical and commercial infrastructure.
The North has the scale, vision, ambition and capability to lead the UK in an improved intelligent mobility network – to drive and attract economic activity and retain its attractiveness as a great place to live, work and invest – moving from delivering transport, to improving mobility for all.

AVP, Sales & Marketing | 10 Aug 2006
India is a key market for Yamaha. From a manufacturing and production perspective, the cost efficiencies available in India is extremely competitive when compared with other markets. Keeping this in mind, we will be launching at least one new model every year for young urban customers and provide them with a true Yamaha riding experience. The products will be at least three years ahead of competition in terms of styling, performance and features. We aim to triple our market share by 2010
Biking is no longer only about mileage, power or style. It has to have a whole new zip, a pep that elevates the riding experience to pure pleasure. Since its inception in 1982, Yamaha Motor India has constantly evolved its approach to give the consumers better and efficient technology.
With Atul Gupta as Associate Vice-President, Sales and Marketing, the two-wheeler major has chalked out an aggressive growth plan. Gupta, who began his career in 1984 with Escorts Ltd, has 22 years' experience in the two-wheeler industry.
In 1986 he moved to TVS Motors, where he was for a decade, before moving on to HFCL in 1996. Gupta joined Yamaha in 2004 as Chief General Manager and assumed his current post of Associate Vice-President, Sales and Marleting this year.
In conversation with exchange4media's Pallavi Goorha, Gupta shares his views on the Indian two-wheeler market as well as the marketing plans and campaigns around their new bike the Gladiator.
Q. Yamaha seeks to be a brand for the young. How do you propose to go about that?
Our marketing strategy is based on the philosophy that the customer is supreme. Following that, we provide our customers products and services that are beyond their expectations. With Gladiator being the first product in a series of exciting new launches for the youth, we aim at creating a new biking lifestyle that will make Yamaha a cool brand among youngsters in India.
Q. Please elaborate on Yamaha's 'Life Rocks' campaign?
With the launch of Gladiator, we unleashed the 'Yamaha Life Rocks' teaser to rally the youth around a bike brand that drives a young lifestyle with attitude. Various rock bands were roped in to play live music near Yamaha hoardings at the DND Flyway and Ansal Plaza in the National Capital region. Each hoarding was covered with removable strips, which were peeled off one at a time to reveal Yamaha's new lifestyle brand.
One such instance was the road show at Ansal Plaza. The whole of Delhi was swinging to Euphoria's 'Life Rocks' concert. The event was India's first 'Flash Rock' concert organised by Yamaha as part of the launch campaign for Gladiator. People were invited via SMS just a couple of hours before the concert began.
The campaign sought to create a world of Yamaha and project it as a lifestyle brand for the young. We believe that our products have a huge appeal for the youth who seek performance and the pleasure of a great drive with technology that is ahead of competition.
Also, as part of our national campaign to promote the Yamaha Gladiator, we held test drives in more than 40 cities and towns. We held road shows covering high traffic areas, markets and malls. We also put up installations across all dealer outlets. The test drives in each city culminated with a live rock show.
Q. Are you planning to launch international favourites from the Yamaha stable like the R1 and the V-Star in India in the near future?
We perceive a growing market for all products of Yamaha in India; we are currently in the process of evaluating the demand for Yamaha superbikes and will introduce high-powered bikes in India depending on the market trends.
Q. Brand Yamaha got a big boost after self-confessed biker and youth icon John Abraham began endorsing it. What promotional activities have you lined up with him?
To start with, we have tied up with shampoo brand Clinic All Clear for a contest as it merges quite well with our brand. John Abraham is the brand ambassador for both the products. What makes the contest unique is that this is for the first time in India that a co-promotion strategy involving two brands has been implemented. In keeping with the youthful image of both the brands, we have launched this promotional campaign. It works on the theory, "If you have cool 'baal' (hair) and own a cool 'bike', pretty heads are sure to turn".
Consumers can participate in the contest by buying a Clinic All Clear 100 ml or 200 ml bottle. Then they can SMS CAC to 455 or call a toll free number 1901-2334455 or log on to www.clinicallclear.com or get the contest forms from any HLL super value store, answer a question and state a unique nine-digit code printed at the bottom of the Clinic All Clear shampoo bottle. The grand prize is a Yamaha G5 bike.
Q. What is the future of the two-wheeler market in India?
The Indian two-wheeler market has undergone tremendous growth in the past few years. With development of infrastructure and changing lifestyles in India, the industry is expected to grow to over 10 million units by 2010. This is not only a great opportunity but also a challenge for us.
Q. Do you think launching different models will affect the sales of existing ones?
No, it won't. I feel it makes sense to launch models as customers keep looking for something different and new. It creates a healthy competition.
Q. What, according to you, are the features of a good motorcycle?
A good bike surpasses a buyer's needs and gives them a great ownership experience. The attributes vary depending on a user's need as some look for performance while others are mileage conscious.
Q. How is the Gladiator different from other executive bikes in India?
Gladiator is a sporty bike providing the Yamaha experience of superb handling and excellent riding comfort. The bike has a new generation 125cc four-stroke engine, which offers great pickup as well as superior mileage. With its new five-speed transmission (first on any executive bike), driving in the city as well as long distance cruising has become easy. It has a BS type carburettor with YTPS, which offers a smooth throttle response, optimises mileage and controls emission. The high rigidity diamond type frame and square type rear arms offer a stable and enjoyable ride. The long stroke front and rear suspensions guarantee a smooth comfortable ride. The aerodynamic headlights offer the multi-reflector technology, while the combination of tail light and indicators reflect style.
Q. Are you planning to launch two-wheelers for women?
We are currently focusing on motorcycles as they constitute more than 80 per cent of demand in the automobile market. But we are also targeting the scooter segment and changing customer preference from geared scooter to automatic one and as soon as we feel the time is right for us, we will launch our global products.
Q. Media reports indicate that you plan to invest Rs 150-200 crore over the next three years to expand capacity and launch new products. Comment.
India is a key market for Yamaha. From a manufacturing and production perspective, the cost efficiencies provided in India is extremely competitive when compared with other markets. Thus, not only do we see India as an opportunity for the growth of the company the domestic market, but also as a global sourcing base for complete units and parts.
We have a three-pronged strategy and are carrying forward the global standards set by Yamaha in YMI – strengthen the image of Yamaha as ONE brand and execute unique and innovative marketing activities towards this objective.
Product development – Introduce and develop products that are targeting young consumers and are at least three years ahead of the competition in terms of features, style, performance and technology.
Marketing Activities – Do exciting, unique and innovative marketing activities, which are closer to the lifestyle of the young consumers. Through these, our customers will have interesting experiences. By focussing on these we aim to triple our market share by 2010.
We will be launching at least one new model every year. These new models will target young urban customers and will provide the true Yamaha riding experience.

March 14, 2011
Written by Stephanie Callahan
On Friday I attended a check presentation in which the owners of McDonald's of Chicago and Northwest Indiana donated $10,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charity in order to raise funds to build the largest Ronald McDonald House which will be in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood. I recently learned that proceeds from the Shamrock Shake helped build the very first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia in 1974!
It was really neat to see the giant Shamrock Shake before it went floating down the Chicago River on Saturday and ChicagoNow's Bob Milkovich of Milking Chicago took some great pictures of the check donation and the Shamrock Shake that I've posted here as well. If you're interested in donating to the Ronald McDonald House you can visit: https://www.rmhccni.org/pages/lurie.php or donate in restaurants around Chicago. Remember that even though St. Patrick's Day "observed" in Chicago is over you still have until the end of the month to get your Shamrock Shake!
This past Friday I had a chance to get a sneak peek of the nautical Shamrock Shake before it "helped" dye the Chicago River green on Saturday. Although I'm not a huge minty fan, the Shamrock Shake always makes me smile, who doesn't love a green beverage? When I was a kid my favorite part of St. Patrick's Day was the trip to Irish restaurant Hackney's and a glass of Green River. There is just something magical about a green beverage that I just love!

Okay guys, first of all, hey. I apologize for my absence, I was away on vaca and had jet lag//drama and other stuff for a long time.
'Kay, so I'm here to talk about VoNC.
A VoNC is, well, just like it sounds. VoNC can be filed against Chat Mods, Admins, and Rollbacks if a ceartin user feels they aren't doing a great job.
Things I can understand for filing a VoNC
- If the staff member has been inactive without ANY notice at ALL (vaca, computer issues, etc.) for over a few months, you can file a VoNC against them
- If the staff member has bullied, or lashed out harshly, or cursed in chat, (multiple times) you can file a VoNC against them. Some people just have bad days, but staff should set the example for the others, so if they violate the policy, they should be dealt with. NOTICE: Screenshots must be provided to back up the information. Whoever doesn't know how to take a screenie can contact me in the comments of this blog.
A VoNC should be filled out like so: (this is an example)
(Title)Vote of No Confidence: Oblivion1001
(Reasons)Oblivion has been extremely unactive, her last edit was 5 months ago, and mean to others on chat remember, this is fake :D
New Topic
And another suggestion, a reporting center.
The Hunger Games Wiki/Reporting Center/User Issues
something like that ^ to keep all the users in check, so that the admins can keep up with users violating COPPA, and cursing, and etc, so the staff knows what to do when staff isn't around.
Should look like: (again, example)
(Title includes User:Reason) Oblivion1001:COPPA Violation
(Reason) User admitted to being 12 in chat (this is NOT REAL. PLEASE.)
Screenshots should be provided.
And the user will be banned, because of their violation of COPPA//Chat rules//etc.
I'm done for now. Just say the words and I'll explain it more. I'm tired, bye guys.

Quick and Easy Cranberry Sauce
I use maple syrup to sweeten the cranberry sauce in The Kind Diet (p. 162), but you can sub agave or rice syrup – whatever you prefer. I love this recipe because it's so easy, and sooo much yummier than canned cranberry sauce.
Cranberry Sauce
- 4 cups raw cranberries
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- Juice from 1 orange
- Rinse and clean berries well.
- Transfer to a large saucepan, and add the syrup, orange juice, and 1/4 cup of water.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and boil gently until the berries pop, about 10 minutes.
- Chill for 1 hour before serving.
Enjoy! What's your favorite way to eat cranberry sauce?

COMET-LICS Sentinel-1 InSAR portal
Topographic datasets
IASI Near Real Time Website
This page displays data from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Instruments (IASI) on board ESA's MetOp-A and MetOp-B satellite platforms as analysed for the presence of volcanic SO2 in the atmosphere, using methods developed by the Earth Observation Data Group at the University of Oxford.
The data are available in near real time, within ~ 3 hours of the measurement being made by the instrument. Data from the previous 48 hours is also available, as is the past 2 months of data plus an archive of all the data from IASI's lifetime (2007 to present).
COMET Volcano Deformation Database
This website provides archived information detailing past geodetic surveys, any deformation observations, and interpretations of significant results at volcanoes across the globe.
Sample quick-look Sentinel-1 interferograms are also available for target volcanoes across Latin America, providing easily accessible results for volcano observatory staff and other interested individuals.
Ongoing development will see the catalogue completed and updated quick-look interferograms for every volcano in the world.
Continuous GPS measurements from the Aegean 2002-2008
This CEDA Dataset Collection Record contains continuous GPS measurements since 2002, made by COMET, from a number of stations across the Aegean to monitor tectonic movement across the Eastern Mediterranean.
These data are made available in the RINEX (Receiver-INdependent data EXchange) format, version 2.10 or more recent, with Hatanaka compaction and UNIX compression applied. They are available to all registered users under the UK Government Open Data licence. This is part of an ongoing collection published in yearly datasets. Updates will be provided to the archive as and when ready.
TRAIN – Toolbox for Reducing Atmospheric InSAR Noise
This provides a set of MATLAB tools that can be use to correct for tropospheric delays in InSAR data. Once set-up for one correction method, the toolbox allows for easy comparison with other methods, as all are formatted in the same way.
The toolbox is fully compatible, but not limited, to the Doris and StaMPS software. Initial debugging has been done for ROI_PAC and PI-rate processed data, but user feedback and reporting will allow for further development.
The toolbox includes correction methods, with a full descriptive manual on the input parameters, and tips/hints in case of problems.

As we promised, we are educating our followers and casual readers with some news about all-natural, organic products available now at www.asiagreen.org. For most people, this information is hidden from public view by marketing of huge companies that want to sell products laced with sugar, none essential ingredients, and just junk! It makes it easy for these corporations to make cheap products then market them as "healthy!" Now lets talk about the ACAI Berry.
How many have heard of the ACAI Berry? Here are some facts: "The Acai palm bears fruit twice and year, and the fruit is harvested by people as food. When consumed, the berry leaves a slight hint of bitter after taste, which resembles that of chocolate. It can be prepared in many different ways before consumption. Mostly, the Acai berry is prepared as drinks such as fruit sodas, fruit juices, smoothies, and so on. Therefore, it is very convenient for consumption. When consumed on a regular basis, the Acai berry offers many health benefits. The Acai fruit is good for the body mainly because of its antioxidant properties. It is able to rid the body of harmful toxins in a relatively short period of time. The antioxidant process starts in about 2 hours after consumption of the Acai berry. As a result, shortly after consumption of Acai berries, an individual may start to feel a boost in energy levels. Lethargy will be removed, leaving more energy for other daily activities. It improves mental clarity and promotes sound sleep. It even helps with digestive functions. But perhaps the greatest benefit that has been given the most attention is that the Acai berry helps in the weight loss process.
As you probably understand by now, the Acai berry helps improve the general health of the entire body by removing harmful toxins. Blood circulation is improved when the toxins are removed. Improved blood circulation eventually leads to slowing down of the aging process. Skin will look healthier, and cholesterol levels are regulated. The heart, which is one of the most important muscle in the human body, also starts to become stronger. If the body is currently suffering from any physical injuries, the improved blood circulation and the strong heart will certainly help speed up the healing process. Given such benefits, it would be a good idea to incorporate some Acai berries into our daily diet." WOW! Did you know all that? We look forward to more information to provide – and by the way – it is cheaper to live healthy than not!

Dallasites Love Their Jobs!
Turns out that as the year ended, Dallasites were pretty happy with our lots lot in life -- at least compared to the rest of the country. The Hudson Employment Index, which measures workers' confidence and contentment, was released this morning, and the year-end wrap-up reveals that on average, only 33 percent of all Americans thought their personal finances were improving by the end of '07. In Dallas, though, 43.7 percent of those surveyed thought things were looking up -- a drop of only 2.3 percent from December '06.
The local results are available here -- and from the looks of it, locals surveyed for the index are pretty happy, all things considered. Dallas is the only city among the 11 major metropolitan areas surveyed with an index rating in the triple digits; just 16 percent of ya aren't happy with your current jobs, a drop of almost 4 percent; and only 14.9 percent of local workers are worried about getting canned sometime in the near future, another declining stat.

Beyond that, does anybody even remember the Rockies? Young guys, don't really lose (a good thing), play hard, appear to get along pretty well.
They're major underdogs, those Rockies, because the Red Sox have all the established names and several well-known starting pitchers and Manny being Papi and a bullpen that drums on shin guards as well as the roof of the bullpen.
That part's pretty cool, actually.
Of course, it would have been nice to see the Indians make the World Series, if only to watch Paul Byrd try to squirm and explain and contort himself well enough to keep his image intact. I speak to kids, he says. I have a reputation. I'm a devout Christian about to release a book that discusses all the un-Christian things that go on in baseball outside the immediate purview of one Paul Byrd (to be fair to Byrd, he acknowledges his struggles with pornography and the temptations to cheat to get ahead).
Forget picking a Series winner. Let's try to pick the next PED user to be the target of a newspaper revelation. There's been an eerie, CSI-worthy pattern to the leakage of names, especially when it comes to HGH: Gary Matthews Jr., during his first spring training after signing a big contract with the Angels, Rick Ankiel when he was riding high, Byrd during the ALCS.
It's probably best not to speculate -- the lawyers hate that -- but there's a good chance a few World Series participants are promising to be good for a long, long time if they can just make it through the next 10 days without needing a news conference.
This Week's List
• You mean we missed the 1994 World Series and Donald Fehr didn't even work out a reasonable prescription co-pay?: If Byrd was really up front with his team and MLB about his HGH use (MLB disputed this to the New York Daily News, by the way) and he acquired it with a legitimate prescription, why did he pay full retail?
• Hey, his teeth just weren't growing at a normal rate, either: Another question for Byrd -- if everything was on the up-and-up, why did you resort to getting two of your prescriptions written by a Florida dentist who was eventually suspended for fraud and incompetence?
• I'm shocked she didn't rip him: Jeanne Zelasko opened Sunday's Fox telecast by telling us how "gracefully" Byrd has handled the controversy.
• Actually, Paul, privacy died the minute we looked at the paper on Sunday morning: Asked by Fox on Sunday if he was still taking HGH, Byrd said no; when asked later in a pregame press conference, Byrd said, "That's a private matter right now with me."
• Here's a whole new paradigm: Let's start breaking stories on major league pitchers who haven't used HGH.
• Geez, who would have thought that might happen?: The Rockies attempted to sell all their World Series tickets online, but the server went down under the weight of all the requests.
• As you watch the Patriots right now, consider this: New England owns the rights to the 49ers' 2008 first-round pick, and if you've watched the 49ers lately you know the potential that holds.
• The Patriots would like to reserve the right to be the sole profiteers of scalped tickets for Patriots games: As a result of the team's lawsuit, online ticket reseller StubHub was forced to turn over the names of Patriots ticket holders who sold tickets through its service.
• So, in other words: Even though he lost his own team's No. 1 pick because of cheating, Belichick wins again!
• See what happens when you don't care about personal-foul penalties?: Dennis Erickson, in his first year at Arizona State, has the Sun Devils undefeated and ranked seventh.
• However, in this season of no sure things, here's the Sun Devils' schedule for the next four weeks: Cal, UCLA, USC and Oregon.
• Attention, ladies and gentlemen, we are here to announce a new King of Innuendo: A week after making comments about Troy Aikman's personal life, Redskins receiver Brandon Lloyd went back on his D.C. radio show and criticized the team's beat writers -- "and I use that term with every innuendo possible," he said -- for not calling out Joe Gibbs for his play-calling.
• Oh, and this minor detail: After each of the past two games, Lloyd has left the Redskins' locker room before the writers were allowed into the room.
• Not to be too derogatory to kickers -- Skip Bayless owns that beat -- but if this guy isn't keeping track of the number of field goals he has during a game, what the hell else is he doing?: Titans kicker Rob Bironas, who kicked a record eight field goals Sunday, said, "I wasn't really thinking about how many," but when someone told him he had five at halftime he started paying attention.
• And finally: When is Dane Cook guest-starring on "Frank TV"?

Understanding and comparing the differences in ESD testing
HBM testing
The HBM (human-body-model) device-level test is the most common model for ESD testing. It is used to characterize the susceptibility of an electronic component to ESD damage. The test simulates an electrical discharge of a human onto an electronic component, which could occur if a human has built up residual charge—for example, by dragging his feet, in socks, across a carpet and then touching an electronic device. The failure modes for the HBM testing of ICs typically comprise junction damage, metal penetration, melting of metal layers, contact spiking, and damage to the gate oxides.
MM testing
The MM (machine-model) device-level test, which emerged in the 1990s, is now less common than the HBM test. Industrial-automation-manufacturing sites became increasingly popular in the '90s to increase output. These machines become electrically charged after turn-on and discharge into an electronic component after making contact. Thus, MM tests became a model for testing this type of ESD event. Failure modes in MM testing are similar to those in HBM testing. These failure modes include junction damage, melting metal layers, and gate-oxide damage.
MM testing requires that you test each pin on the DUT to its standard. The electronic chip is mounted on a specially designed load board that interfaces with an automated ESD tester. You ground the other pins on the board and then individually test each pin. You continue this procedure until all pins have been tested.
CDM testing
The CDM (charged-device-model) device-level testing procedure is a simulation for situations that often happen in automated-manufacturing environments in which machines often remain on indefinitely, causing the electronic ICs to electrically charge over time. When the part comes into contact with a grounded conductor, the built-up residual capacitance discharges. For the CDM test, the DUT is placed on its back facing upward on a testing board.
The HBM, MM, and CDM are the most common ESD device-level testing procedures for electronic components. Table 1 summarizes their similarities and differences.
Characteristics for this test are a rise time of less than 10 nsec and a pulse width of approximately 100 nsec, indicating a low-energy, static pulse. The ESD-immunity test requires that you administer at least 10 discharges of both positive and negative polarity at 1-sec intervals. Thus, you test the EUT at least 20 times for the ESD-immunity system-level specification (Figure 7b).
EFT immunity
The system-level-testing standard of IEC61000-4-4 is the EFT (electrical-fast-transient) immunity-testing model (Figure 9a). The EFT-, or burst-, immunity test simulates transients that can happen in everyday environments due to switching off inductive loads, relay-contact bounce, and the operation of dc or universal motors. This test is performed on all power, signal, and earth wires. A burst is the sequence of pulses with a finite duration. In the EFT-immunity test, a burst generator produces a sequence of test pulses that attenuate to 50% of their peak values in less than 100 nsec. The next adjacent pulse typically occurs 1 μsec later. A burst typically lasts for 15 msec, and the burst period, the time from one burst's start to the next burst's start, is 300 msec. This cycle repeats for 10 sec, after which there is no testing for 10 seconds. This scenario represents one test cycle. The test cycle must repeat six times, taking 110 sec. The significance of the EFT-immunity test is its short pulse rise times, high repetition rates, and low energy content.
Because EFT testing involves no direct contact of conductors but instead the indirect application through a capacitive clamp, proper, industrial-grade cabling with internal shielding can produce great results to the DUT by drastically attenuating the coupling of EFT energy into the conductors (Figure 9b).
Surge immunity
The surge-immunity, or lightning, test, IEC61000-4-5, represents the most severe transient-immunity test in current and duration (Figure 10a). However, testers often employ it on signal and power lines longer than 30m. The surge-immunity test simulates switching transients due to direct lightning strikes; induced voltages and currents due to indirect strikes; or switching the power systems, including load changes and short circuits.
The test specifies the surge generator's output waveforms for open- and short-circuit conditions. The ratio of the open circuit's peak voltage to the short circuit's peak current is the generator's output impedance. High current due to low generator impedance and pulse duration approximately 1000 times longer than the ESD- and EFT-immunity tests characterize this test, indicating a high-energy pulse.
System-level testing
The IEC compiles the system-level-testing standards according to IEC61000-4. This family of standards includes approximately 25 system-level-testing specifications for transient-immunity testing: IEC61000-4-2 for ESD, IEC61000-4-4 for EFT, and IEC61000-4-5 for lightning. Table 2 compares these tests.
Today's rising demands for system-level testing renders inadequate device-level testing at the low voltage/current levels of HBM, MM, and CDM. A strong distinction exists between system ESD and burst/surge-level testing between consumer products and industrial equipment and systems, however. In consumer designs, ESD testing assumes a high priority due to the increased probability of human contact with electronic components through cable connectors.
In strong contrast, industrial designers rate the burst- and surge-immunity tests higher than ESD testing. In this case, the daily bombardment of electrical transients due to electric motors and other inductive switching loads poses far greater risks to the system than ESD, whereas human contact occurs only during system installation and maintenance and even then only when the operator is wearing ESD-protection gear.

Customer Reviews
A must read
I stumbled across this book on accident while trying to find another audiobook app(as I have no money and can't pay audible in order to get audiobooks) so, being caught by the title, I downloaded it. And I, being an extremely fast reader, actually had to slow down and read this book. And oh my god, it is one of the best books I read. I read it in a psychological sense and I certainly spent a good month on this book. If you're interested in books that have twists and turns and dimensions within dimensions, I would read this book!!
More Impactful than Expected
I-I quite honestly loved this book. The only bit of critique I can give is the fact that some words are misplaced but that makes it no less of a great piece, just evident that it isn't so much professional literature as it is intended for a decent story on a mobile device. The overall concept was creative and amazing and opened my mind up certainly more than I expected. It depressed me at first, but like the story, everything was resolved in such sweet simplicity. I thank you for writing such a marveled novel.
I could not stop reading! This book has made me take a good look at my life and the lives of those I love. I have a new, fresh outlook on life and I can't wait to get started in my new direction!!! I wish I could thank the author personally giving me the push to change my future!

What are the actual list of features that are added/fixed/discontinued/etc so that we can properly test them?
For a full release number increase, I really don't find this version to be extremely exciting. http:/
Nov 22, 2007 at 10:13 UTC
I will get something together with a quick summary.
Nov 22, 2007 at 12:28 UTC
One other feature that we think is impressive is the new Overview tab at the environmental summary level under inventory. Click on that page and watch...
Dec 5, 2007 at 10:52 UTC
I LOVE the overview charts & graphs. Very nice and makes SW even flashier than it was before, while increasing functionality. Bravo.
Dec 12, 2007 at 9:23 UTC
I was able to set up outbound email notifications, and I disabled the incoming setting.
Later, I decided I wanted to enable this. Once I got the settings to take for the incoming config, all of the sudden SW told me that 'outgoing settings are not optional', when I had it set up just fine from before.
I'm not sure what I need to change or modify here, but it is a strange issue, perhaps not just related to the 2.0 beta?
Dec 14, 2007 at 4:52 UTC
I would love to be able to generate reports showing the installed version numbers, especially for things like the .Net framework where a machine could have 5 different versions installed at one time.
I would also love to see full Exchange integration.

Electives in High School
Started by mumto3princesses , Nov 29 2012 06:33 AM
5 replies to this topic
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:33 AM
DD#1 will be in Year 9 next year. She chose her electives for Years 9/10 but was told she didn't get her first choice. I have rung the school asking about how it will effect her and to check there is definately nothing we can do and waiting for a call back. But as she is my first to go through High School we are unsure how it all works. I was told it wouldn't matter too much though but they will see what happened and see if there is anything they can do about it. Will that matter that she doesn't get what she thought she needed? Or will she be basically 2 years behind everyone else?
DD#1 has me looking into what she can do outside of school to get her goals and I have thought of a few things so far. Her coach thought of a couple of things and we have found an online course she can do and we will look into a first aid course too. We even contemplated another school if that was even possible but she is torn there as she is happy with her friends. But I have rung them to see if its even a possibility before she starts considering it.
The subject she wanted was PASS (Physical Activity Sports Studies) as she wants to be a gymnastics coach. (She's not sure what else she wants to do at this point but whatever she does she wants to do this as well) She has been assisting her Coach all this year with the younger kids and she has been showing her how to help them etc and her coach is going to try and get her into a conference and leadership camp next year. (I say try because they are meant to be 14 and she wont turn 14 until afterwards so they may say she has to wait until 2014) I guess on the upside she will still be doing the compulsory PDHPE at school.
She goes onto a bigger campus in Year 11 & 12 and I have been assured that her choices wont be a problem then. I hope thats true.
So, I guess I'm just after advise from people who know more about how the High School electives work and if that really is true that it wont matter too much that she didn't get the main subject she was after?

I'm not sure what it will mean for her subject selection in Yrs 11 & 12, but I'm pretty sure there are no high school subject prerequisites required to become a gymnastics coach.
The main thing would be that she continues to train at her club and completes any training courses required by Gymnastics Australia, gets first aid etc. If you get in touch with Gymnastics Australia they should be able to tell you the exact qualifications required.
Not quite the same, but my sister is a horse riding instructor. All Equestrian Australia needed was for her to complete their training course, not any school subjects. Also, I'm a music teacher and didn't do music in high school (studied in my own time), so your school subjects aren't the be all and end all.
Good luck to your daughter.

Her electives for years 9/10 probably won't matter that much in the long-term, it's more about the year 11-12 subjects. Especially since she will still be doing some form of PE. Are you asking in terms of her being able to get into a tertiary course? If so, just look up the prerequisites for that course. But again, they're more concerned about the HSC/VCE(not sure what state you're in) subjects. My understanding of year 9/10 electives is that it's the first opportunity for the students to have a choice and to expose them to subjects outside the core subjects such as maths, English, science etc.
By all means, try and get her into the class she wants but don't stress if it doesn't pan out and don't turn it into a huge drama. I certainly wouldn't suggest changing schools just for that. What electives did she get instead of the sports studies? Can she do dance as an alternative?
Posted 29 November 2012 - 03:57 PM
Thanks Good to know it shouldn't matter for Year 11 & 12.
Yes, I have spoken to her Year Advisor and she said she will find out for us. She tried to see what she could find out yesterday for me but was unable to. She told me yesterday that she was going to have a meeting with the Deputy Principal today and will discuss it with him and see whether anything can be done. (Told her how dedicated she is etc)
They were told to choose carefully and what they get is what they have to do for 2 years (or 1 year for the 1 year one). They will do 2 x 2 year electives and 1x 1 year one. So, unless someone actually leaves the school I doubt she will get it later.
DD#1 is happy with what she ended up with in terms of the fact that they are all things she likes but just really disappointed not to get PASS. She even said she would swap Food Tech (as she knows Food Tech is one a lot of them wanted) with someone for PASS so thats saying a lot because she loves Food Tech. (PASS was her 1st choice and Food Tech was her 2nd.) She ended up with Art which was her 3rd choice and she enjoys Art. She also got Design tech for her 1 year one.
In terms of what she actually needs to do for Gym Coaching I don't think that matters there but its more if she desides she wants to do something along the fitness lines as well as her main job then she was worried about not getting PASS.
I will tell her not to stress about it. One of her good friends ended up worse off than her though. She knows she definately wants to be a Kindergarten/Child Care teacher or a music teacher or both. Didn't get into Music or Child Studies!

My DD was constantly messed around with her electives but has still managed to get most of the subjects she wanted in Years 11 and 12. She couldn't get into a maths class next year without going to the nearby boys' school, so has picked up history instead. The issue probably isn't so much the number of students trying for each class, as rather the way the classes are blocked. With DD it's always come down to timetabling.

Hi OP
Just wondering if you got this right?
As far as I'm aware for yrs 9-10, the BOS allows only two 2yr electives, or in smaller high schools one 2yr elective and two 1 yr electives (even up to four 1 yr electives). Basically they do 200 hrs a year of electives (100 hrs for 1 yr elective, 200 hrs for a 2 yr elective).
Hi, thanks for checking but yes it's right. They will do 2x 200 hour electives (in year 9 & 10) and 1x 100 hour elective (in year 9).
I know someone who's daughter goes to another local school and she is in Year 9 doing 2x 200 hour electives for year 9 & 10 but did 1x 100 hour elective last year in Year 8. (which DD#1 didn't do)
Thanks mindy. That makes sense.
Still waiting to hear back. I was told by the end of the week so hopefully I will get a call back sometime this afternoon. Since she rang me back when she said she would on Tuesday even though she had no information for me yet I'm thinking she should call.

The Australian sharemarket soared for a sixth day, hitting a two-month high as iron ore's rally led to a huge 24 per cent rally in Fortescue Metals Group and a jump in BHP Billiton.
The S&P/ASX 200 index raced above 5100 points at the open, remaining steady for the session before pushing higher in late trade.
The benchmark index finished 1 per cent, or 52.8 points higher, to 5142.8, while the broader All Ordinaries ended 1 per cent or 53.6 points higher to 5204.7.
The market is now trading at levels not seen since January 6, and has gone much of the way to recouping the year's losses.
Shouldering Monday's rally was BHP Billiton which climbed 5 per cent to $18.55 after its London listing surged 9 per cent on Friday night.
Iron ore miners were buoyed on Monday by a 5 per cent rally in the commodity on Friday. Iron ore for delivery to Qingdao in China has risen more than 40 per cent since its December low of $US38 a tonne to $US53.75.
Pure play iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group was the day's best performing stock up 23.7 per cent to $3.08 while Rio Tinto added 3.5 per cent to $46.47.
Romano Sala Tenna, portfolio manager at Katana Asset Management, said he was surprised by the extent of the miner's rally in relation to the iron ore price: the commodity has lifted 7.5 per cent since March 1, but BHP has rallied 19.1 per cent.
"Our view is that it's a relief rally, the price action is consistent with what you'd expect to see in a downward trend," he said.
He said short term, it was clear the broader market sentiment had turned, but it was too soon to acknowledge an "inflection point" in the market.
"Another couple of hundred points [higher] would get us to question that," Mr Sala Tenna said.
The banks also continued their March rally. Commonwealth Bank of Australia rose 1.5 per cent to $76.89, National Australia Bank climbed 2.3 per cent to $27.23, ANZ Banking Group added 1.8 per cent to $25.48 and Westpac Banking Corporation rose 1.3 per cent to $32.12.
Mr Sala Tenna said the bank's moves represented investors' "FOMO", or fear of missing out.
"There is a view that people don't want to miss out if the market has turned," he said.
A positive day for the bank shares came amid some negative news for two of the big four banks.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission said it would take ANZ to court over allegations of bank bill swap rate rigging.
The watchdog also said it would investigate Commonwealth Bank over allegations its life insurance arm was deliberately denying heart attack claims as revealed in a joint Fairfax Media and Four Corners story.
But fund managers including T Rowe Price are bullish on the banks. Its head of Australian equities Randal Jenneke said the big four were "screaming cheap", while Janus Capital's director of research Carmel Wellso said the banks were so reviled by investors they had become unjustifiably oversold.
Outside the banks and miners, CSL shares rose 0.6 per cent after its haemophilia B drug was approved by the US Food & Drug Administration, meaning it will shortly be available in the US market.
But it wasn't a great day for healthcare stocks overall. The worst performing stock for the day was Australian Pharmaceutical Industries, down 5 per cent to $1.73, followed by Sigma Pharmaceuticals, down 3.9 per cent to 87¢.
Among the other blue chips, Woolworths rose 1.1 per cent to $23.02, Wesfarmers rose 0.4 per cent to $40.52 and Telstra closed unchanged at $5.13.
Despite the strong day, just four sectors posted gains, with materials the strongest, up 3.1 per cent, followed by energy up 2.2 per cent. The weakest was the small information technology sector, falling 1.2 per cent

2013 Braves have overcome expectations, injuries
The 2013 Braves have clinched a tie for the NL East title. But that's just a small part of the story.
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Last season, the Nationals barged to 98 wins and the National League East title, and they did so with the youngest pitching staff in the NL and second-youngest lineup. In other words, they were very good, and they were poised to continue being very good. They would surely prevail again in 2013.
Bulletin: That did not happen. Instead, the Braves, who quietly won 94 games a season ago, seized the division lead on April 7 and did nothing but methodically build that lead over the weeks and months to come. On Friday in Chicago, they clinched at least a tie for the title with 10 games still to play. In other words, the Braves, contrary to what most of us predicted headed into the season, are going to win the NL East.
So dominant were the Braves relative to their NL East peers that the division has in essence been theirs since late July. While much attention seems to be focused on the disappointments of the Nats, the zero-sum flipside of that is the improbable success of the Braves, who simply ignored the press clippings and instead busied themselves by playing great baseball for six months.
Of course, the Braves didn't just "merely" surmount the heavily favored Nats; they did so despite an unfortunate run of injuries -- a run that would've crippled an organization with lesser depth.
To wit ...
•Catcher and cornerstone Brian McCann didn't make his 2013 debut until May 6 after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.
•Lefty reliever Jonny Venters never threw a pitch and underwent Tommy John surgery in May.
•Fellow lefty reliever Eric O'Flaherty worked just 18 innings before also undergoing Tommy John surgery in May.
•Veteran rotation stalwart Tim Hudson saw his season end in late July thanks to a broken ankle.
•Brandon Beachy, who underwent Tommy John surgery in June of 2012, returned to make just five starts before going back on the DL with elbow inflammation.
•Paul Maholm spent a month on the DL with a wrist sprain and was later hampered by elbow discomfort.
•The Braves lost reliever Jordan Walden for more than two weeks because of a shoulder strain.
•Dan Uggla hit the DL in order to undergo corrective eye surgery.
•All-Star Freddie Freeman spent time on the disabled list with an oblique strain.
•Super-sub Evan Gattis missed almost a month with the same injury.
•Jason Heyward, who just returned to the lineup on Friday, missed roughly a month because of a broken jaw.
Believe it or not, we could go on. But the above laundry-list of misfortunes should give a sound idea of exactly what manager Fredi Gonzalez and his Braves have dealt with this season. It was assumed that the Braves, even at full strength, would lag the Nats in the standings. Throw in all those injuries, and surely they'd have no hope.
Except, as it turns out, it was the Nationals who had no hope.

"Opening Act has not only taught me the craft of acting, but things that I can apply to life such as diligence and determination."
Mila | Opening Act Alum (Brooklyn)
Opening Act's free, year-long, After School Theater Program is based on a highly-structured, goal-oriented curriculum that teaches improvisation, acting technique, and writing exercises to help students unleash their creativity, foster collaboration, and develop leadership and problem-solving skills.
We engage our students in complicated discussions using theater and writing exercises specifically designed to help them amplify their voices so they can express their perspectives and create original theater pieces that directly address the contemporary social issues they face on a daily basis.
We provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment so that our students feel empowered to share their stories.
The culmination of each school-year program is an original production, created, written, and performed by the students in a professional theater. Read about our impact.

for a packed audience at a professional NYC theater. Photo by JG
Annual Fall Gathering Students from all our programs gather to share their experiences, show off their improvisation skills, collaborate on stage with professional actors, and become part of a larger acting community.
Saturday Master Class Program Our Master Classes with industry professionals are a key element of our strategic programming and help students learn more about critical processes and skills for their future, such as:
- Auditioning for college theater programs
- Applying to college and for financial aid
- Career options in the creative arts
Broadway / Off-Broadway Show Connecting what they learn with the excitement of seeing some of the best professional theatrical performances is a critical tool in the Opening Act mission, and each year we provide students who would otherwise likely never have the means or opportunity to attend a live performance with the chance to see a play.
Workshops with Professional Artists Throughout the year, creative professionals – including cast members from Broadway shows, playwrights, hip-hop and spoken word artists, and designers – teach a workshop or talk with our students about their personal journeys.
Student Leadership Company The Opening Act Student Leadership Company (SLC) comprises students from each of our program sites who have demonstrated leadership and a commitment to Opening Act. These students meet monthly throughout the year to deepen their leadership training and to devise original theatrical pieces they perform in the community.
This year, SLC students had the opportunity to perform in front of more than 500 guests at our 10th Annual Benefit Play Reading at New World Stages. The SLC also performed at the executive headquarters of HBO. As part of our new corporate partnership engagement strategy, SLC students participated in mentoring and career skills development workshops with IHS Markit Financial Services.
Opening Act Scholarship Program We encourage all of our students to apply to the Opening Act Scholarship Program to use toward college tuition or for professional artistic classes.
Opening Act Theater Arts and Leadership Conservatory We have deepened our program impact through student participation in our two-week intensive Summer Arts and Leadership Conservatory when students take their leadership and artistic skills to the next level by immersion in a wide-ranging curriculum that includes courses in Shakespeare, Voice, Scene Study, and Leadership, and culminates in an end-of-conservatory opportunity to showcase their artistic and leadership skills.

text: Show Hide image Politics 23 July 2010 UK retail surges on World Cup, but outlook austere Forecasts still bleak despite encouraging June figures. Sign up for our weekly email * Retail sales in the UK rose higher than expected in June due to the football World Cup, but economists say the rest of the year looks bleak as businesses struggle, and the consequences of the government's austerity measures take effect. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports June sales volumes as having risen faster than expected, at 0.7 per cent. It also revised the sales increase in May from 0.6 to 0.8 per cent. Besides an increase in television sales, household goods stores and department stores are reported to be the biggest contributors to the rise, with sales growth of 1.6 per cent and 1.5 per cent, respectively. However, leading economists such as David Kern of the British Chambers of Commerce note that there is no room for complacency as risks of an economic setback remain serious, reports The Independent. Britain faces the greatest constriction on household budgets since the mid-1970s, with around £3,000 a year reduced from the purchasing power of households by 2014, adds the report, citing analysts at Capital Economics.
