Existing Vibration Technologies
When product designers set out to develop products that use vibration, they find that they have few technology alternatives to implement this important feature. The few classes of components that are available for use— each have their own constraints. The designer has to cobble together these components in the hope that they meet their performance goals, but typically they compromise on design goals, have increased costs and their consumers have poor experiences.
Performance requirements are rapidly increasing, but existing technologies are not improving. Consumers are demanding smaller devices, better functionality and longer battery life; and designers are eager to implement disruptive features like HD Haptics. At the same time manufacturers are looking for ways to cut costs
Existing vibration technologies cannot meet old performance requirements, much less new ones. And there are no other technologies emerging that have the potential to increase vibration performance.
Existing Actuator Technologies
As consumers demand better products that contain vibration, engineers have tried every method possible to increase the performance of the available actuators. Having pushed actuator performance to its limits, designers now have to choose between compromising on performance goals, over-driving actuators at the expense of reliability and battery life or developing their own proprietary solutions at great risk and cost.
The following list gives a brief explanation of the available technologies:
ERM or rotary vibration motors are rotary motors with attached eccentric mass at a fixed amplitude. As current is supplied to the motor, it spins up and vibration is created as the eccentric mass is rotates.
Vibrations are transmitted through the motor, and into the device, which causes rapid wear. Because of the dampening involved with the relatively large mass of the device, these motors tend to have effectively limited frequency response.
These motors have highly variable performance between units, over the life of a battery, and over the life of a device and they tend to wear out rapidly.
Linear Resonating Actuators are small actuators which are run at a single-resonant frequency with little power and a single-axis of operation. They require an expensive third-party driver chip to remain in resonance. These actuators have high costs and limited performance.
Proprietary Technologies - Because of the lack of other options, several manufacturers have developed their own proprietary vibration technologies for specific purposes. These technologies are developed at great risk and expense, typically for a single application.
Apple® Taptic® Motor – In an effort to provide haptic functionality in Apple's recent generation of laptops and watches, they developed the Apple Taptic vibration motor. This motor provides high lateral impact to provide haptic feedback. Production issues for the Apple Taptic motor was the cause of a six-week delay in the launch of the Apple Watch.
Sonicare® Toothbrush Motor – the Sonicare motor was developed to provide high-frequency and powerful vibration for their line of revolutionary toothbrushes. The motor uses a proprietary and expensive manufacturing processes to ensure that the resonant frequency of the brush heads matches the drive frequency in the brush handles.
Clarisonic® Skin Appliance – the Clarisonic Skin Appliance was invented by the same team as the Sonicare toothbrush. They applied the same technology to face cleaning.
Existing Vibration Driver Technologies
Vibration motors and actuators are only part of a solution. To drive a vibration motor, a circuit must be created to drive the motor and to protect the other components on the circuit from reverse EMF and other issues caused by the actuator. Brushed motors may use simple circuits but brushless motors, like LRAs, require an expensive motor driver or feedback-based based driver.
Motor drivers can be a significant cost factor in a vibration solution, potentially costing more than the actuator itself.
Problems with Existing Vibration Technologies
Existing vibration technologies are the cause of many performance, cost and consumer satisfaction issues with products that contain vibration.
Poor Vibration Performance
Limited Vibration Power - Existing technologies have very limited vibration strength.
Limited Vibration Range - Existing technologies have very limited range of vibration. ERMs operate over a broad range, but tend to provide usable power only at a small range of speeds.
Poor Efficiency - Existing technologies have very poor efficiency, which leads to the need for larger batteries. This drives device size and cost.
Limited Axis-Control - ERMs operate orbitally and LRAs operate linearly, perpendicular to their mounting, limiting design options.
Slow Start/Stop Speed - Existing technologies are slow to start and stop, limiting their usefulness.
Consumer Satisfaction Issues
Poor Reliability - Existing actuators, especially ERMs have very poor reliability. Because the relatively large eccentric mass is mounted on a very small shaft supported by small bushings, these motors begin to destruct as soon as they are first used.
Noise - Existing actuators cause significant noise, which causes consumer issues. These motors get nosier as they wear. Efforts to dampen the noise also tend to dampen the vibration power.
Poor Unit-to-Unit Consistency - ERMs have high variability unit-to-unit, which diminishes product quality.
Device Cost and Size Issues
Motor size – Existing actuators have a large size/performance ratio. And, in an effort to meet vibration performance goals, some designers use even larger motors. These motors create design constraints leading to larger devices.
Component size and cost - the number of discrete components drives device size and cost.
Efficiency Issues - because of the poor efficiency of existing motors, designers either must use larger batteries or have short run times.
Reliability Issues - poor reliability of these existing technology drives warranty returns and poor consumer experiences.

- Hi Brian and everyone on the list.
I was wondering when this list was going to come to life. I will see you
there Brian. I am going as a 3 ASM Tr 525. I also will be stopping by the
station a few times to help you guys out. Although I wanted to come to the
Jambo as a General it seems that the last 2 month working and preparing for
the Jambo (both at the Troop level and at council*) I didn't get the CW
down. So hopefully I can study (CW, I got the written done) and get to the
VEC at the Jambo.
Do you know where the station/VEC is located at? I know where it was in 97.
Any word if the ISS contact is telebridged?
When will K2BSA activate?
Brian when are you leaving NM?
My view......
I will be installing a 1/4 ground plane on my tent to better improve signal
strength on repeater/simplex. Add a complex battery charging system, an
Arrow Antenna, 2 HTs, a brother(KB3GIJ), and 300+ hams on site I am ready to
radio and jamboree.

As those who hang around here might know, I'm currently in the process of a third manuscript titled 'Faithless', which is an AU dystopia thingy dealing with human conditions like love and trust between a husband and wife that have been separated for seven years because of the husband's betrayal. You can read the full synopsis on my About My Writing page.
I'm planning to finish it this month if possible so I can be free to work on my summer project (kind of, since my summers are always crazy busy).
So, for today's Writing Wednesday, I would like to introduce y'all to my summer project, tentatively titled: The Snow Dragon.
Eira is a young girl living in her family's mountain tribe high in the snowy passes. Curious about the world beyond their valley and fascinated with the ancient myth surrounding the high White Mountain and the mysterious Snow Dragon, she sets out on an adventure to find him and receive the fabled three wishes he grants.
That's my unofficial synopsis. :P Yay for on-the-spot synopsis'!
It's going to be a novella, so fairly short. I haven't worked out whether or not it will be aimed at children. Mostly because I haven't started writing yet. I have a tendency to veer into darker, more mature themes at times...
In any case, I've had this idea stewing in my head for awhile and I thought so long as I can get Faithless done and out of the way, this would be a fun one to do this summer (also ironic, because snow and summer).
Below you can catch a small sample of what I'll hopefully be working on this July/August/September between working at camp and other activities. We'll see how this goes...
Eira was bored that day. It was a rare thing for her, there always seemed to be something new and exciting to discover and explore in her blissful valley home. But as the quiet of evening fell over the fall landscape, Eira found herself driven away from the village children and their games, weary of the crowds and the noise and the excitement. She'd wandered off a fair ways, knowing her path exactly as she slipped through the dense forest vegetation with hardly a sound. It was an impressive feat considering that autumn had set in and the leaves were changing and falling all around. The soft crunch beneath her bare feet excited her, lifting her disheartened spirit, and she moved a little faster through the woods.
She emerged from the bushes into the open on the shores of the mountain lake. The warm red and orange hues of the setting sun shimmered on the ice blue surface of the lake, creating a beguiling contrast. An ancient tree stood sentry over the edge of the waters, Eira had often wondered if it was older than the lake and the mountains themselves, it seemed like it could be.
Skipping over the rocky shores of the lake, she gathered herself to spring into the tree. The lowest branches were nearly a foot above her head, and she had to climb - not unlike a squirrel - to reach them. The rough bark scraped her bare arms and legs as she went, but her tree-climbing experience and talent allowed her to scurry up easily and with minimal effort. From there, it was only a matter of making her way up through the branches to the top. Or at least, as close to the top as she dared. It was a tall tree.
The fifth highest branch from the very top was Eira's favorite. It was a good forty feet in the air and made her feel like a bird. She was not afraid of the height, it thrilled her. Many a time she had even began to seriously consider if she might fly were she to jump…
From here, Eira would watch, joining the tree in its guardianship. Often she watched for animals, sometimes for birds, or for people. Always though she kept the corner of her eye on the big gray mountain to the north. It was there that the Snow Dragon was rumored to keep its home. A creature out of legend that had fascinated her and owned her imagination for years and years. Some of the village elders said they had spotted the beast once or twice through their lifetimes, but the young people had never seen it. Many wondered if it was even still alive, though dragons were supposed to live thousands of years.
Today Eira decided to watch for colors while she hoped to glimpse the dragon. She attempted to count all the varying shades of red, yellow and orange in the sunset, but lost track at twelve, unable to distinguish them all. Her eyes roved over the landscape, finding the dark green of the pines, the stark white trunks of birch, the ashen gray of the mountainsides, the peaks covered in white snow. There were brighter colors too, the beautiful orange and yellow fallen leaves, dancing in the soft breeze. Brilliant hues of red and purple trembled in the wind across the blue lake waters. The sky was afire with a thousand variations of red merging into blue and then black as night crept on. The branch her legs were wrapped around was a warm brown hue and the pale underside of her arm contrasted with the pink scrapes left by the rough bark.
Eira had counted almost one hundred colors when she heard a voice calling her name from below.
"Eira! Eira! Are you up there?"
She bent over to peer down to the ground. Her older brother, Ivar, stood below, bellowing up into the tree and disturbing the picturesque scene. Eira sighed heavily before calling back.
"Mother wants you come home, it's time for supper." Ivar was only a year and a half older than Eira, but he liked to pretend he was much her superior and lorded his responsibility and supposed maturity over her at every opportunity.
"Coming then," Eira answered half-heartedly. She didn't want to leave yet, the Snow Dragon was still out there…
Still, she was obedient and made her way down, soon it would grow dark anyway, and the woods were no place for a lonely girl after dark, as much as she wished it wasn't so.
Of course it's a first draft and not very good yet, but I'm hoping it will end up being something interesting and fun.
Thanks for reading about it guys! Be sure to let me know what you think. Do you have any summer projects? Or projects carrying over into summer? Tell me about them below.

Summer's Last Hurrah?
With today's weather more befitting of summer than fall, it was the perfect opportunity to get out on the Schuylkill River Trail once again. Pictured at left is Philadelphia's famed Boathouse Row (photo courtesy of Frank, my nurse/photographer). This time, I played tour guide for my friend Kimi (pictured below). With two wheelchairs, it required some extra coordination to avoid bicyclists. "You go first," we took turns saying to each other as they approached, full speed ahead. We also had to make sure we drove slowly enough for the ambulatory members of our party (a.k.a our nurses)!
All in all, it was a perfect day. Gorgeous weather, nice scenery, and great company. Of course, the day was even better because those Fightin' Phils defeated the Atlanta Braves tonight. With the New York Mets' loss, that means the Phillies are now tied for first place in their division!

Darren McGregor intends to play his part in a successful SPFL Championship campaign with Rangers after agreeing a one-year contract with the club, a deal which also includes the option of a further 12 months.
The 28-year-old central defender left St Mirren this summer under freedom of contract and has become the Ibrox club's second acquisition of the summer following the arrival of striker Kenny Miller on a Bosman transfer.
McGregor, who will be paraded officially later today, suffered two cruciate ligament injuries during his time in Paisley but returned to play regularly throughout the course of last season.

"I am absolutely delighted to get the chance to join Rangers," he said. "I will do everything I can to help this club get back to the top of Scottish football. I am sure next season's campaign will be a successful one. This is one of the biggest clubs in world football and I can't wait to play at Ibrox. It really is a dream come true."
Ally McCoist, the Rangers manager, has revealed he kept a close eye on McGregor as he proved his fitness last season and believes his pace will make the defender a valuable addition. "I watched St Mirren a number of times last year and he was a very consistent performer," added McCoist.
Rangers are chasing a number of other targets, with Kilmarnock forward Kris Boyd among them. Don Cowie has also been linked, although Cardiff City are hopeful the midfielder will sign a new two-year contract with them.

Journal-isms' Richard Prince reports today of another loss for the CBS News family.
Al Stiney, a tech staff supervisor for the CBS Evening News weekday and weekend editions, passed away Friday at age 62. His widow Rena says Stiney died of heart failure after a short illness.
Prince notes that the death of Stiney — an Emmy and Peabody award winner thought to be the first African American to hold a supervisory technical position at CBS — came one day before the passing of CBS colleague Harold Dow, another pioneering African American in television. Also coincidentally, Dow and Stiney were born exactly one week apart.
"On a personal level I can tell you that Al was one of those guys who was clearly proud that more African Americans were working at places like CBS News compared to when he started 40-years ago," says CBS Evening News Sunday edition anchor Russ Mitchell. "When you'd see him in the hall he'd always give a wink and say 'great job'."

Report Abuse
If assigning groups works as it did when I was there a few years back, you were given your group the morning of the trek. So you may wish to see how you feel after the first Suza trek and reflect on what you saw. You can also get more recent info on the other groups. In fact, I'd pump your guide for gorilla info as soon as you are able because in addition to the goup membership, where they are is an important part of the viewing experience. Then you can make a more informed decision.
I'd do Suza first, if that is a group you wish to see.
After visiting Suza, I requested a second Suza visit the next day instead of whatever group I was supposed to see.
That's because there were 7-week old twins, many other babies, and it was the biggest group. I had been to Sabinyo the day before and it was very good too.
So I made up my mind after my Suza visit where I wanted to go next.
I have not mentioned the other groups by name since I do not know the family makeup of them right now. Suza is the largest I believe.
Drgough just returned from Rwanda and has posted that s/he is open to questions. Here is the Fodor's link that includes the direct email. http://fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=4&tid=34926508
Please report back when you return, as there have been some inquiries into Magic and you are using them.
Have a marvelous time.

My teenage daughter and I did 3 treks in August of this year. The Susa family is no doubt the most famous family. We did not visit Susa. My own opinion is that the quality of the experience might have less to do with which family you visit, than with where and when you encounter the family and the quality of the guide. French is the second language of the guides. Some guides speak better English than others. [I speak OK French, which helped throughout the country.]
One the first day, we visited the 13 Group. That was fascinating. Some members of the group had a respiratory illness--audible wet coughs, etc. Because our group was one person short, an American vet, who had been living in Rwanda for 4 years studying the primates, joined us. He was very kind and patient to answer the many questions that I had. The 13 Group was out in the open for the most part; but for that reason (and probably because of the illness), the guide kept us fairly far away from them.
The second day, we went to the Sabyinyo family. At least at that time, the silverback in that family was the largest of them all--225 kilos. We were in far more enclosed space than the day before. The gorillas walked right up to us or right by us. The male became annoyed at one woman who was filming and charged/touched our guide without warning. That guide, however, was pretty much just going through the motions. He rushed everything. In the very dense overgrowth, those of us at the end the line frequently lost contact with the guide and those at the front. I cannot say that the guide diminished the quality of the experience, but he added nothing to it.
Our third and final trek was to the Hirwa family. We drew the great guide Francois (as I recall his name). Two weeks earlier, he had guided Bill Gates. I also gather that he appears in some film or films about the gorillas. He is well known. As a very young man, he worked for Dianne Fossey. He stopped a lot and explained the flora and fauna, which was really interesting. He explained how/what the gorillas eat. He communicated with the gorillas. I would say that he was more relaxed about letting the gorillas get close to us. Hirwa had wonderful babies in August.
I guess that the point I am trying to make is that there may not be all much difference among the families, with the exception of new babies, etc. They are all truly awesome, and it is a privilege to be in their presence. If there were a "least interesting" family [which of course there is not], I would have sought to visit it if Francois was the guide. He added so much to my understanding of the region and the primates.
Lastly, the park people assign you to groups. You can make requests, but it is best to arrive early and have your own guide try to get you on the trek that you want.
No matter which families you visit, you will have what is truly a unique experience.
You might want to read the thread on Trip Advisor about "trekking fitness." I post there as JP & Mom. The thing that I was not prepared for was having to walk bent over. I am 5-8. It was hard on both my back and quads.

Let me second what Rosenose just said. I think the quality of your experience is FAR more dependent on where the gorillas are on a given day, what their attitude is, and how your guide is, than which group it is. All the groups are habituated and all are capable of delivering a really fine viewing experience.
I just returned from Rwanda and Uganda less than a week ago, and my trip report is in process. I trekked two gorilla groups in Rwanda (Amahoro and Hirwa) and two in Uganda (Nkuringo and Habinyanja). Habinyanja was the largest of the four groups, with 22 gorillas.
Before going, I had always assumed that going to a larger group would be better, but my own experiences did not bear that out. A larger group has more gorillas, but they do not just sit there all in one place together. Rather, they will be spread out over an area of several hundred yards, with only a few members visible at any given time. With the smaller groups we saw, we got just as close to just as many gorillas as with the larger groups, so I would say that just picking groups to visit based on number of gorillas is not a valid way to choose.
What I would suggest is that you should first choose based on your physical fitness level (Susa in Rwanda and Nkuringo and Habinyanja in Uganda are thought to be the hardest treks). Then perhaps consider trying to get Francois as your guide, regardless of what group he is leading (he was our guide for the Hirwa Group and was really fun to be with). I can also recommend Francis, a younger guide at Volcanoes National Park (but who still has 7 years experience). If you want to see the twins, go to Susa; if you want to see Guhonda, the largest silverback, go to Sabyinyo. But based on my recent experience, I don't think that pre-deciding on a particular group is an idea that has much effect on your experience. My advice would be just to go to whatever group and fate will decide what kind of experience you have. It is very likely to be a wonderful experience regardless of which group you go to. All four of our gorilla treks were excellent, but each in a different way.

I just did 5 trackings in December and I did not see the Susa group. Because of the rainy conditions both days, those groups had difficulty finding them and when they did the viewing was not good. One day they saw 5 of the gorillas in the Susa group and they were hiding from the rain in the thick brush. I didn't care which groups I tracked as long as it was with Francois, which my guide Francis from Volcanoes took care of for me. I tracked the Amahoro and Hirwa groups with him and both experiences were superb. We saw many newborn babies and youngsters.
As has been said here, you get your group assigned when you check in that morning according to what you ask for and what you say your physical abilities are and who else is tracking that day.

Safarimama & Chris -- Did either of you happen to hear anything about the health of the 13 Group? The respiratory illness was a great concern last August. I would like to know how that has resolved--hoping for the best.
Report Abuse
Rosenose, There is information at The Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project (MGVP) website about the respiratory problem you speak about - http://www.mgvp.org
Report Abuse
Several tourists staying at our lodge tracked Group 13 and then told us what a great time they had doing so. They did not mention any health problems or special precautions against getting too close. The only issue with Group 13 is that the silverback of that group had a confrontation with the silverback of the Hirwa Group the day we arrived in Ruhengeri, and the people who went to Group 13 reported seeing the signs of the battle in terms of injuries on the Group 13 silverback. We went to Hirwa two days later and the silverback of that group looked totally fine, although the group was moving around rapidly, according to Francois this was to avoid another interaction with Group 13.
Report Abuse
Chris & Safari -- Thanks for the information. I had not seen anything about the 13 Group on the Mountain Gorilla site, so concluded that the illness must have resolved. One cannot have spent a few hours in the presence of the gorillas and not remain concerned about their wellbeing.

As a relatively new — and complex — form of automotive technology, hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) have created several uncertainties and misconceptions among the car-buying public.
In an effort to separate hybrid perception from reality, Toyota Motor Corp., the epicenter of the technology with five Toyota- and Lexus-brand HEVs currently on sale, is looking to unravel the mysteries and set the facts straight regarding one of the industry's most scrutinized developments.
Dave Hermance, executive engineer-environmental engineering for the Toyota Technical Center, defines HEVs as "vehicles with two or more energy storage systems, both of which must provide propulsion power."
Most HEVs currently feature either a diesel or gasoline internal combustion engine (ICE) mated to a powerful electrical system. Excess energy is stored in nickel-metal-hydride battery packs and is used to supplement the power of the ICE when appropriate.
It is this electrical system that is the source of some of the most pressing concerns regarding HEVs, most notably, how long the batteries will last.
Toyota says the cost of the battery packs in its current Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) system has been reduced 36% since their introduction but still cost at least $3,000 to replace. However, they operate in a much less stressful manner than batteries in other consumer electronics applications, and thus have a much longer life expectancy.
Toyota believes most HEV battery packs will last the life of the vehicle. To date, the auto maker says it has not had any service replacements or warranty claims for under-performing batteries in any of its HEVs, including the first Prius models that debuted in Japan in late 1997.
Toyota's internal durability testing, which simulates extensive driving on mountain roads in temperatures exceeding 100° F (38° C), uncovered little if any degradation in battery performance over 180,000 miles (289,682 km), well beyond the auto maker's 8-year/100,000-mile (160,934-km) warranty on HEV batteries and components, Hermance says.
This extended performance comes from the limited state-of-charge (SOC) in which the batteries operate.
Batteries in consumer electronics applications such as cellular phones and laptop computers tend to be fully charged and then fully discharged. That causes the batteries to operate frequently at their minimum and maximum 20% of capacity, which is when most damage occurs, Hermance says.
Conversely, Toyota's HSD uses aggressive battery performance and temperature management controls to keep its packs between a 50%-70% SOC. This significantly reduces the stress loads on the batteries and greatly increases service life.
Hermance says utilizing more of the battery's capacity can enhance the range and emissions performance of HEVs, but that comes at the expense of durability. This is of particular relevance to plug-in HEV proponents, some of whom reconfigure their HEV's operating system so that it can be recharged via a wall outlet, allowing for much greater use of electric-only power.
In addition to durability issues, plug-in HEVs require larger electric motors for sufficient acceleration, which, coupled with the larger battery packs, increases weight and cost and reduces performance.
Overall, Toyota says plug-in HEVs won't be commercially or technologically feasible to build until battery technology improves.
Smaller, more powerful lithium-ion batteries, which should begin to appear in HEVs by the end of the decade, may have the capability to make plug-in HEVs a reality on a larger scale. However, Hermance says Toyota still is evaluating the technology.
The price of electricity and how it is produced in different areas plays a role in the practicality of plug-in HEVs, he says. The additional use of dirty, coal-fired power plants for recharging may offset the environmental gains from running in electric-only mode. Expensive electric bills in energy-strapped areas may outweigh gains realized at the gas pump.
The mass of electronics in these new vehicles also has been cited as a potential hazard to emergency personnel who may have to extricate a driver trapped in an HEV following a crash.
Hermance says this is a non-issue with Toyota HEVs because their electrical components and orange, color-coded power cables are shielded and tucked away from an emergency response team's likely work area. The high-voltage battery pack also is automatically disconnected from the vehicle when the ignition key is in the off position; airbags have been deployed or the vehicle has rolled over.
In addition, the auto maker provides rescue personnel with free emergency-response guides, located on a dedicated Toyota HEV website.
To date, there have not been any reports of injuries related to HEV electrical systems, Toyota says.
On the other side of the hybrid perception spectrum is the concern HEVs don't deliver their promised U.S. Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy ratings, and, in fact, exhibit a much greater shortfall than conventional vehicles.
Hermance counters that higher-efficiency vehicles, in general, tend to fall short of their EPA ratings by a higher margin than the average car or truck. However, on a fuel-consumed basis, nearly all vehicles incur about the same shortfall in real-world driving vs. the EPA tests.
The problem, he says, is the current measuring procedure for fuel economy is non-linear and provides misleading information.
In addition, Hermance cites a study by Consumers Union, a nonprofit testing and information organization, in which a Toyota Prius' observed fuel economy was 20% less than its EPA combined city/highway rating of 55 mpg (4.3 L/100 km). The same test showed a 4-cyl. Toyota Camry's rating to be only 11% less than its EPA rating of 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km).
However, on a gallons-per-year basis over 15,000 miles (24,140 km), the Camry used an additional 71 gallons (269 L) of fuel vs. only 68 gallons (257 L) in the Prius.
Toyota suggests the EPA should correct this discrepancy by labeling new vehicles on a fuel-consumed-per-year basis, similar to how home appliances are rated for their efficiency and energy consumption, in addition to the current fuel-economy rating.
The current EPA fuel economy rating test procedures were last updated in 1985. Proposals are under way to revise the standard using more vehicle-specific data, including high speed/rapid acceleration, use of air conditioning and cold temperature operation. Initial changes are set to take affect for the '08 model year, with another adjustment queued for '11, the EPA says.
When they take effect, the agency says the new procedures will alter the weighting of the city/highway average and reduce mileage ratings for most vehicles by 10%-20% to better represent modern, real-world driving conditions.
However, fuel-economy values for most HEVs reportedly are expected to fall nearly 30%.
Hermance takes issue with this speculation, noting that, on a gallons-per-year basis, fuel consumption for most of Toyota's HEVs should be affected only marginally by the revisions.
"Hybrids will continue to give more to the driver and take less from the world," he says.

Snowshill, Gloucestershire
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
The church itself is dedicated to St Barnabas, and though it may look ancient, much of it is a Victorian rebuilding of an earlier church. The pulpit has Jacobean carved panels, and there is a very nice octagonal 15th century font.
Just outside the village - yet still within Snowshill parish - is Snowshill Lavender, an extremely popular local attraction, with 35 acres of lavender fields, selling lavender-based products such as soaps and oils, plus local crafts and plants.

Does your business needs SEO expert in India?
Posted: Nov 20, 2016
Numerous organizations are posing this question since they need a SEO or web based showcasing arrangement, yet they don't know where to begin. What amount can a SEO Freelancer in India handle and when would it be a good idea for you to utilize a major organization? As a SEO Expert India(I know it might appear to be one-sided), some independent ventures make this inquiry so I might want to reply, "I can deal with any battle". In all actuality, as a consultant I go about as a general contractual worker like a home development temporary worker. I am hands-on and I handle the greater part of the imperative assignments for my customers. I have accomplices that help me where and when I require it so I can scale up or down, contingent upon the activities requests and the quantity of errands I have.I likewise have a home office that makes my overhead for my business low. That reserve funds is passed on to customers in light of the fact that the enormous SEO Company in India need to pay lease for their huge, comfortable workplaces, huge compensations for their administration, and that cost gets go along to the customer by higher charges for services. I work productively with innovation doing a hefty portion of my business errands while I concentrate on my customers and making them effective.
Huge firms in many cases just have one SEO expert India (some have none) and a pool of low paid SEO partners that have restricted involvement in web based advertising and business as a rule. They frequently work off of formats and rules that the SEO organization gives them. This plan of action for enormous firms is vital, however it doesn't take into consideration much customization, focused technique, and new, crisp thoughts that may receive gigantic benefits. Am I saying that enormous SEO firms techniques don't work? No, I am not saying that by any means, I am stating that they aren't as proficient both monetarily and operationally as a SEO Freelancer in India working with his own group since you may be alloted to a group with a SEO expert India and you may not. Imagine a scenario in which you get the group without one, which is likely. You aren't getting any esteem by putting the attendant in the cockpit to fly the plane rather than the pilot. Ever been a customer of a major SEO firm and you called and posed a question about SEO and you conversed with three unique individuals with three distinct answers?
I trust that the SEO business ought to be comprised of consultant experts heading their own particular groups, not huge firms in light of the fact that the huge firm structure doesn't offer the customer any esteem on the grounds that web based advertising is not quite the same as disconnected/conventional promoting. In a conventional showcasing firm you can appoint assignments better since you have individuals that are better prepared from school, and so forth. With SEO, there are not very many school programs or any instructive projects to prepare future SEO Freelancer, so a significant number of the experts today have learned by being fruitful. To wind up fruitful you require understanding and discovering genuine SEO ability is a hard thing (the same number of organizations know) since a large portion of them leave huge firms since they get to be over fit the bill for them, and they get to be SEO Freelancer in India and work for non-web showcasing organizations. As web promoting develops, there will step by step be increasingly qualified SEO experts.
When you have a SEO expert India not just as your contact individual for your battle, additionally the one redesigning the code, making the technique, and teaching you about SEO; you have the best esteem for your advertising dollar. When you have that initially meeting with an independent SEO consultant, you realize that individual will finish your battle assignments, not some other low-gifted laborer down the line that you will never observe or converse with. I imagine that gives customers bit of psyche and a feeling of the customer being a part of the group.
So if your organization is searching for an internet advertising arrangement or search engine optimization arrangement, search for a neighborhood independent venture SEO Freelancer in India that is an expert and has a reputation. You will spare cash, time, and you will get comes about, an instruction, and an advertising accomplice you can call and they will really know the solutions for your inquiries.

Just a thought since they have a high rate of school kids taking their teenage angst out on other school kids with automatic weapons in the US. Although thinking about it, these types of kids are usually young hormon crazed males, so I guess they really aren't gonna be reading the left hand side of the screen or hear what she's saying at all now are they haha 🙂

HM Revenue and Customs arrested the Hull man who has since been released on bail.
The 40 year old was one of ten people taken into custody as part of a nationwide clamp down on VAT and money laundering fraud linked to the transport industry.
Eight addresses across Cambridgeshire, Surrey, Essex and Yorkshire were searched yesterday, as well as four addresses in Counties Tyrone and Down.
The operation involved a joint effort from Northern Ireland, Cambridgeshire and Surrey police officers.
In a statement, Stuart Taylor, Assistant Director, Criminal Investigation, HMRC, said:
"This action sends a firm message to anyone involved in or considering fraud against HMRC. We treat this crime very seriously and will not hesitate to investigate those suspected of stealing money from vital public services.
"Anyone with information about people who may be involved in tax fraud can contact the Tax Evasion Hotline on 0800 788 887."
All ten people were questioned by HMRC and have been released on bail.
Computers, mobile phones and paperwork, as well as cash, were seized as part of the operation.
Investigations are ongoing.

Their system was to kill people on purpose, based on an American "Eugenetics" theory.
And in Russia, the regime of Stalin was very hard.
But the man was paranoid, and that caused a lot of deaths on his account, but it wasn't in the communist system.
The Nazi's were more bloody than the communists ever were.
I agree the communist regimes of Stalin and Mao were stupid.
But not on purpose.
They just had to start all over again. After a total breakdown of their civilization, caused by foreign influence.
The Russian Empire was exploiting farmers and workers in a feudal system until the Russian revolution.
The Chinese Empire was abused by many western tradesmen and governments.
The west didn't have gold to buy Chinese goods anymore, so the British, the French, the Americans, and other westerners invented the Opium trade to get their materials from China.
That was the main reason for the BOXER revolt, and it lead directly into the founding of a communist China.
And China is still supported by western capitalist GREED.
The difference is, the Chinese don't do drugs anymore.
Re: "The difference is that the Chinese don't do drugs anymore!
It is estimated that there are between 3-7 million drug user in China as we "chat".
Re: Greed
Greed is a human condition not limited to Western capitalists. What does one think brought Mubarak and his sychophants down, and all the greedy rulers in our total human past and more to come from all points of the compass?
Not on purpse ? Really ? They killed intententionally and sistematically more than 100 million people, but not on purpose ? Do you realize how stupid is what you are saying.I agree the communist regimes of Stalin and Mao were stupid.
But not on purpose.
Francis Galton, who was English. Before that, even Plato espoused a form of it, which he hoped would be implemented via controlled marriages. It's true that America led the way with compulsory sterilization in particular, however, they were not the only ones to do it, and the Nazis took it farther. American eugenicist Joseph DeJarnette commented in 1934: "The Germans are beating us at our own game."
Did anyone notice on my previous post on Drugs in China that the"Greedy Dutch" introduced smoking opium with a pipe. ?
More on China drug use:
URL (Sina)
and from the BBC
Note: before "trashing" fellow /lady posters "do a little research to back up your hateful claims.
And the BBC link doesn't say anything about drug history in China.
The English were the first to use opium to addict Chinese.
And like always, the English blame the Dutch for what they did themselves.
The English, French, Americans, and later on the Germans had influence, traders and even military personnel in China. The Dutch weren't even there!
The only thing the Dutch did was send their ships to China for trade.
They didn't have the channels to sell opium.
We all know of the Axis War crimes - the Nazi Death/labour camps and the Japanese camps; etc, plus the thousands of smaller, sproradic and random atrociries committed against civilian and serviceman/woman alike, but which Allied actions were war crimes?
The carpet bombing of Germany by the RAF and the USAAF?
The carpet bombings and later the Atomic/Plutonium bombs on Japan?
Mass rape and other war crimes by Soviet troops during the occupation of East Prussia (Danzig), parts of Pomerania and Silesia; during the Battle of Berlin, and the Battle of Budapest.
Leonforte, July 1943. According to Mitcham and von Stauffenberg in The Battle of Sicily, The Loyal Edmonton Regiment killed captured German prisoners. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada randomly burned houses in Friesoythe, northwestern Germany in April 1945.
The German revisionist historian Jörg Friedrich, claims that "Winston Churchill's decision to bomb Germany between January and May 1945 was a war crime." The historian Donald Bloxham states that "The bombing of Dresden on 13-14 February 1945 was a war crime".
He further argues that there was a strong prima facie for trying Winston Churchill among others and that there is theoretical case that he could have been found guilty.
"This should be a sobering thought. If, however it is also a startling one, this is probably less the result of widespread understanding of the nuance of international law and more because in the popular mind 'war criminal', like 'paedophile' or 'terrorist', has developed into a moral rather than a legal categorisation."
The subject of British involvement in war crimes during the campaign in North West Europe, between D Day and VE Day, was covered by historian Sean Longden in a chapter entitled 'Rage Revenge and Retribution' in his book 'To the Victor the Spoils'.
Canicattì slaughter: killing of Italian civilians by US army Lieutenant Colonel McCaffrey. A confidential inquiry was made, but McCaffrey was never charged with an offence relating to the incident. He died in 1954. This incident remained virtually unknown until Joseph S. Salemi of New York University, whose father witnessed it, publicised it.
# The Dachau massacre: killing of German prisoners of war and surrendering SS soldiers
# In the Biscari massacre, which consist of two instances of mass murders, U.S. troops of the 45th Infantry Division killed roughly 75 prisoners of war, mostly Italian.
# Richard Dominic Wiggers asserts that not only did American food policy in post-war Germany violate international law by directly and indirectly causing the unnecessary suffering and death, from starvation, of large numbers of civilians and POWs in occupied Germany. The adequate feeding of the German population in occupied Germany was an Allied legal obligation, under international law (Article 43 of The 1907 Hague Rules of Land Warfare).
It has been claimed that some US soldiers raped Okinawan women during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945. While the number of rapes committed by US troops is not known, historian Peter Schrijvers states that an Okinawan historian[who?] has estimated that the number may have exceeded 10,000. There were 1,336 reported rapes during the first 10 days of the occupation of the Kanagawa prefecture.
"When US paratroopers landed in Sapporo, an orgy of looting, sexual violence and drunken brawling ensued. Gang rapes and other sex atrocities were not infrequent." Some of the rape victims committed suicide.
"A former prostitute recalled that as soon as Australian troops arrived in Kure in early 1946, they 'dragged young women into their jeeps, took them to the mountain, and then raped them. I heard them screaming for help nearly every night'."
The Allied occupation forces suppressed news of its criminal activities, on September 10 1945 SCAP "issued press and pre-censorship codes outlawing the publication of all reports and statistics 'inimical to the objectives of the Occupation'."
Allan Clifton, an Australian officer of the BCOF who acted as interpreter and criminal investigator wrote:
"I stood beside a bed in hospital. On it lay a girl, unconscious, her long, black hair in wild tumult on the pillow. A doctor and two nurses were working to revive her. An hour before she had been raped by twenty soldiers. We found her where they had left her, on a piece of waste land. the hospital was in Hiroshima. the girl was Japanese. The soldiers were Australians.
The Moaning and wailing had ceased and she was quiet now. The tortured tension on her face had slipped away, and the soft brown skin was smooth and unwrinkled, stained with tears like the face of a child that has cried herself to sleep."
As to Australian justice he writes regarding another rape that was witnessed by a party of cardplayers:
"At the court martial that followed, the accused was found guilty and sentenced to ten years penal servitude. In accordance with army law the courts decision was forwarded to Australia for confirmation. Some time later the documents were returned marked 'Conviction quashed because of insufficient evidence'."
In 1998 the remains of three US Marines stationed on Okinawa were discovered outside of a local village. Accounts from elderly Okinawans verify that the men had made frequent trips to the village to rape the women that lived there but were ambushed and killed by men from the village on one of their return trips. According to the same article, published in 2000,
"rape was so prevalent that most Okinawans over age 65 either know or have heard of a woman who was raped in the aftermath of the war."
Okinawan historian Oshiro Masayasu (former director of the Okinawa Prefectural Historical Archives) writes based on several years of research:
Soon after the US marines landed, all the women of a village on Motobu Peninsula fell into the hands of American soldiers. At the time, there were only women, children and old people in the village, as all the young men had been mobilized for the war. Soon after landing, the marines "mopped up" the entire village, but found no signs of Japanese forces. Taking advantage of the situation, they started "hunting for women" in broad daylight and those who were hiding in the village or nearby air raid shelters were dragged out one after another.
Grim, but do the horrors suffered by the civilians and troops by the Japanese and Nazis across the globe justify the anger and hatred borne by the allied lads?
Comunism is based on revolution- violence and it is crime by itself .
Lenin sistem killed lot of peoples , and Stalin killed more Russians than a Hitler. You never lived in comunistic country so you dont know what you are talking about .
Winers never face consequences of they war crimes , remember Russian and American crimes in Germany ( Dresden bombing , rapings and killings in Prussia , Ukraine and Finland,... ) , Americans crimes agains Native - Americans - they killed almoust all of them ( remember South America where sistem was hard and full of crimes , but they show more mercy then USA) , british crimes against Indians , Germans crimes in German Africa ( nobody blaimed them for that ) , nobody ( not even Stallin ) used atomic bomb except USA which make it most criminal country in world ( speacking about democratie ), what about crimes in Iraq and Afganistan for which no one will respond. So long live hipocracy. Only one that win with sword can take pen and write down history , and that is all that future generations will know unless we change it
After the second world war ended, the allies force starved 8 millions germans and took away it's means to feed itself and have a stable economy. It might not count as a war crime, as it was not during the the war, but it's still the victor of a war doing crimes on the looser, and not mentioning it in history books.
Hi ultralars, never heard about forced starvation of Germans. I'm assuming, that by forced you meant, it was planed and executed, and not coincidental. Can you link us with something credible.
If it comes to German starvation, I remember documentaries about Americans feeding West-Berliners.
I think ultralars seems to mean WW ONE.
That was from 1914-1918.
Read up on " the morgentau plan "
History is written by the winners.
If Nazi had won, we would have probably had a trial for Stalin(if he was still alive) or Bomber Harris, yet this doesn't mean Allied Crimes(including all countrless soviet atrocities) have to be forgotten, indeed, they should be remembered.
Yep. Winners are the ones who write history. Why would they hold themselves accountable?

Greenland: Further cracks in ties with Denmark?

Greenland: Further cracks in ties with Denmark?
By Sarah Lyall Published: November 24, 2008
LONDON: Greenland, the world's largest island, is to vote Tuesday on whether it wants greater independence from Denmark, which colonized it nearly 300 years ago.
Greenland - 2,200,000 square kilometers, or 850,000 square miles, some 80 percent of which is covered by ice - has steadily been gaining more autonomy for decades and has had its own home-rule government since 1979. But it still depends on Denmark for much of its budget and is bound by Danish decisions in a variety of policy areas.
If it passes, the referendum on Tuesday will pave the way for Greenland's eventual independence from Denmark. The measure would allow Greenlanders to be recognized as a separate people under international law; make the Eskimo-Inuit tongue known as Greenlandic the island's official language; and give the home-rule government the option of taking more responsibility over areas like justice, defense and foreign affairs.
Perhaps more importantly, a "yes" vote would allow Greenland the opportunity to wean itself from its annual grant of $550 million by giving it control of the revenues from potential oil, gas and mineral finds. Experts say that huge quantities of natural resources are lurking offshore and under Greenland's melting ice cap, but it remains to be seen exactly what is there and how much it is worth.
Native Greenlanders have been talking about independence for years, but not until now has the island felt emboldened to take the next step toward it.
Today in Europe
France and Germany find little common ground on economyAfter 26 years, Red Army Faction member to be releasedKosovo blast sends shock wave to BerlinPolls show that the proposals have overwhelming support among Greenland's population of more than 56,000, nearly 90 percent of whom are native-born Inuits. About 39,000 people are eligible to vote.
"The future of Greenland is being strengthened a lot with this," said Hans Jakob Helms, political adviser to Lars Emil Johansen, one of two Greenlandic members of the Danish Parliament. "This allows the Greenlandic people to decide themselves if, at a later date, they want independence."
Greenland has come a long way economically in the last few decades. But while 60 percent of its people live in the six largest towns, the rest live in more than 120 isolated, austere settlements and trading posts that have perhaps one store apiece and few job opportunities.
Outside the towns, people make their living by hunting and fishing. There is no national road network, and people rely on boats and planes to travel - weather permitting - from one area to another. Besides several dialects of Greenlandic, English and Danish is spoken.
Greenlanders stress that it may be several decades before Greenland is able to declare complete independence from Denmark but said that the vote was the next step in a long evolution toward that goal.
"Home rule was a compromise," Helms said. "It's a simple fact that home rule has reached its limit and there's a need for more room for self-government."

The experience of competing in several able-bodied races this season has translated into much success for Mark Arendz on the international para-nordic circuit.
The Hartsville, P.E.I., native earned his second silver medal of the week on Sunday, finishing in a time of 18 minutes, 52.8 seconds in the men's 7.5-kilometre standing biathlon sprint at the IPC Asian Cup in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
"For my first biathlon race in a para field this year, I'm very pleased with how things went," the 25-year-old, who was second in a cross country sprint earlier this week, told Cross Country Canada.
'Having that experience has made the transition from able-bodied to para races seamless, which made a big difference today.' - Canada's Mark Arendz after finishing 2nd in Sunday's 7.5km standing biathlon sprint
"I skied well, but a miss in my first bout meant I was chasing and couldn't quite get back into the lead after that."
In December, Arendz competed in the open men's division at a Calforex Cup event in Canmore, Alta., and was second in the 15km mass start, five seconds off the pace. He had good speed throughout the race and was 18-for-20 in the range shooting with the air rifle.
"Having that experience has made the transition from able-bodied to para races seamless," he said, "which made a big difference today.
"We skied a flatter version of the course that will be used in 2018 [at the Paralympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang] but today's course made you work for every second you wanted to gain on the field."
Russia's Aleksandr Pronkov held off a hard-charging Arendz for gold, clocking 18:32.4, while teammate Ivan Kodlozerov rounded out the podium in 19:03.2.
Arendz won a bronze and silver at the 2014 Sochi Games to become the first Canadian win two medals at a Paralympics.
The IPC Asian Cup concludes Monday with middle-distance biathlon races.

Resistant estimates for high dimensional and functional data based on random projections
We herein propose a new robust estimation method based on random projections that is adaptive and automatically produces a robust estimate, while enabling easy computations for high or infinite dimensional data. Under some restricted contamination models, the procedure is robust and attains full efficiency. We tested the method using both simulated and real data.
