The world, said Benjamin Disraeli, 'is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes'. Just as well, because the poor players currently strutting and fretting their hour upon New Zealand's political stage clearly learned their craft in the Theatre of the Absurd. Incoherent and disconnected posturing may now be de rigueur, but even the most sophisticated audience grows weary of a play without a plot.
OPINION: If the players and the play are mere distractions, however, and Mr Disraeli's unseen personages, operating behind the scenes, do truly govern the world, then this theatrical, National-led Government's failure to develop either plot or character is of no real consequence.
In fact, to discover that there is nothing remotely resembling logic underpinning the Government's public statements comes as a huge relief. Some of us were developing the most acute headaches trying to reconcile Education Minister Hekia Parata's unwavering commitment to placing teachers of the highest possible quality, possessing all relevant qualifications, in every one of the nation's public classrooms, with her Associate Education Minister John Banks' advocacy of privately run 'Partnership Schools' staffed by unregistered teachers lacking even the rudiments of professional training.
Now that we know the Government's education policy is supposed to be absurd, incoherent and posturing, the pain grows less.
Behind the scenes, of course, the personages who really call the shots are gearing up for the incremental privatisation of New Zealand's education system. Their logic is impeccable. First: make it easy for middle-class people, with money, to identify the public schools that are failing, so they can send their children somewhere else. Second: set up 'Partnership Schools' next to these failing schools and fill them up with the best and brightest children from the surrounding neighbourhoods. Third: expand the network of 'Independent' schools to take advantage of middle-class parents' headlong flight from what they now regard as a fatally compromised public system.
Not only do the personages get to clip the ticket all the way down the line, from the humblest early- childhood education centre to the flashest secondary school, but they also achieve their much larger purpose. The egalitarian and meritocratic public education system, built up over more than a century by the parties of the Left, can now be replaced with the sort of privately run, socially exclusive and unashamedly elitist system New Zealand's deeply unequal society so obviously craves.
National Standards, league tables, partnership schools, public-private partnerships. It seemed to be nothing more than the politicians' sound and fury. Now it all makes perfect sense.
The Afghanistan war's sound and fury burst on to the stage last weekend in the most tragic fashion. And, once again, there was no sense to be made of the on-stage dialogue. The absurdity of the politicians was only matched by the opacity of the army's top brass.
In each of the nearly 10 years New Zealand troops have been stationed in Afghanistan we have been told that their only purpose was to help the Afghan people to help themselves. In Bamiyan province that involved Kiwis helping the local tribesmen to build schools and medical clinics. Our Provincial Reconstruction Team was lucky in its mission, we were told, because Bamiyan was one of the safest places in that unhappy country. Why then are our soldiers dying? If, by our presence, we were supposed to make the country safer, why has it become more dangerous?
Now our troops have become targets for Taleban forces supposedly reeling before the American 'surge'. Now our 'reconstruction team' is expected to confront an enemy capable of fighting highly-trained Kiwi infantry to a standstill. What purpose is served by remaining?
The prime minister and his defence minister speak confidently about 'restoring stability' to a country that grows more unstable by the day. But, like that other tragic military theatre of the absurd, the Western Front, no politician's answer makes the slightest sense. Back then, the Diggers sang: 'We're here because we're here, because we're here, because we're here.' The explanation for New Zealand's presence in Afghanistan seems to boil down to: 'We're there because we're there, because we're there, because we're there.'
'Oh, and to keep our American and Australian friends happy,' add Mr Disraeli's "very different personages", in a loud stage whisper, from behind the scenes.

Nice article, Lois! You really covered a lot of topics in this arena. At first I
was worried the focus would be solely on fat and body image, but the focus on
health is where it matters. Unfortunately so much information about health is
comercialized and quackery that we get the feeling that such things don't
matter. I also think that a lot of folks have the idea that they can simply fix
their health the way they fix a car--take it in for an overhaul and maybe
it's pricey, but it's all done. The truth is that things like
weight-loss surgeries are invasive, dangerous procedures that--if you
haven't dealt with the psychology (both physical/hormonal and
psychological) behind being overweight--then such procedures only mutilate
otherwise healthy bodies and deliver no longterm physical benefits (due to the
fact that often those who have the procedures put all the weight back on over
So thanks for the article, lots of interesting ideas shared within.

This invention relates to a thermal protection circuit for the die of a transistor and will have among other uses application to the protection of the power-handling output semi-conductors of solid-state amplifiers.
Various circuit designs have been utilized in an attempt to solve the problem of excessive localized heat production in transistors. Such heat production if not neutralized will lead to breakdown and destruction of the transistors. One popular circuit design is the V-I limiter. The V-I limiter suffers from a severe deficiency in that it sacrifices output in order to accommodate a maximum operating temperature which does not occur that often during normal operation of the device.
In this invention the instantaneous applied power to the transistor is determined and is converted into a simulated differential in temperature between the die of the transistor and its heat sink. To this differential in temperature is added the simultaneously determined heat sink temperature, resulting in a sensed die temperature. A control monitors the sensed die temperature during transistor operation and when a predetermined maximum is reached, the applied power to the transistor is reduced. In this manner the output of the transistor is automatically derated only at the obtainment of a prescribed maximum die temperature with the protection circuit normally allowing an unlimited output when the die temperature is below such maximum die temperature.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a thermal protection circuit and method thereof which is for a transistor die and which has a reliable performance rating.
Another object of this invention is to provide a thermal protection circuit for the die of a transistor in which the circuit in sensing the die temperature is of highly acceptable accuracy.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a thermal protection circuit for the die of a transistor in which the output of the transistor is unlimited except at a specified maximum operating temperature of the die in which case the output of the transistor is automatically derated.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a thermal protection circuit which is for the die of a transistor and which is of economical construction.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent upon a reading of the following description.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the method of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a basic circuit diagram of one embodiment of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a basic circuit diagram of another embodiment of this invention.
The embodiments illustrated are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. They are chosen and described in order to best explain the basic principles of the invention and its application and practical use to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention.
Referring first to FIG. 1, a signal Vt which is representative and proportional to the dissipative applied voltage to a monitored transistor 10 and a signal It which is representative and proportional to the dissipative input current to the transistor are inputs into a multiplier 12. Vt for a bipolar type transistor would be representative of VCE and for a field effect type transistor would be representative of VDS. It would be representative of IC for a bipolar transistor and ID for a field effect transistor. Multiplier 12 multiplies Vt and It to provide a signal proportional to the dissipative applied voltage to transistor 10, illustrated as Vt It. This dissipative applied voltage is received by an analog simulator 14 which through its internal circuitry produces an output Tds which is representative of the simulated difference in temperature between the die of transistor 10 and the heat sink associated with the transistor. A summer 16 sums a signal Ts which is proportional to the temperature of the heat sink associated with transistor 10 and the signal Tds which is representative of the temperature differential between the transistor die and its heat sink to provide a signal Td proportional to a sensed die temperature. This continuously determined but instantaneous sensed die temperature in the form of signal Td is fed to a temperature comparator 18 which is programmed to react at a selected maximum die temperature and produce a responsive signal which when received by input control 20 for transistor 10 causes the controlling input to the transistor to be reduced, thereby inturn reducing the heat generated within the transistor die.
In FIG. 2 a basic thermal protection circuit is shown. Transistor 10 is illustrated as a bipolar transistor having a heat sink 22 in association with it. Heat sink 22 may be any of a variety of forms, such as the chassis upon which the transistor is mounted or an integral part of the transistor itself. Multiplier 12 is of the two-quadrant transconductance type which includes a differential pair of bipolar transistors 26. Resistor 28 connected between the collector of transistor 10 and the common connected emitters of multiplier transistors 26 creates a current proportional to the voltage across the collector-emitter junctions of transistor 10 which powers transistors 26. Resistor 24 connected to the emitter of transistor 10 is current sensing to provide a voltage differential at the bases of transistors 26.
A current representative of signal Vt is received at the emitters of multiplier transistors 26 and a voltage representative of It is received at the base of one transistor 26. The output signals from multiplier 12 are converted into a single-ended output current, a signal representative of the product of Vt It, by an operational amplifier 30 utilized as a current mirror in association with resistors 32 which are of a equal resistance value. Junction 34 within the mirror circuit is preferably at virtual ground.
The single-ended output current from multiplier 12 which is a signal proportional to the dissipated applied voltage of transistor 10 is fed into a high gain inverting operational amplifier 36 having a feedback network 38. Operational amplifier 36 serves the function of summer 16 in FIG. 1 and feedback network 38 serves the function of the analog simulator 14 also in FIG. 1. Feedback network 38 is a series of resistors 40 each connected in parallel with a capacitor 42. This combination of resistors 40 and parallel connected capacitors 42 is a thermal equivalent circuit for simulating the temperature of die 44 of transistor 10. The number of resistors 40 and parallel capacitors 42 can vary. Such an electrical analog which determines the thermal impedance of die 44 may be of the type shown or of other equivalent types known in the art. Junction 46 is preferably at virtual ground. A reference current, as noted, is used to bias the output voltage of amplifier 36.
Signal Tds is a voltage representative of the simulated temperature differential between transistor die 44 and heat sink 22. Feedback network 38 in conjunction with amplifier 36 takes signal Vt It from the output of multiplier 12 and converts it into a voltage representative of signal Tds.
A temperature sensitive integrated circuit 48 senses the temperature of heat sink 22 and has a current output or signal Ts which is proportional to such temperature. Signal Ts is combined with signal Tds at amplifier 36 to produce a voltage or the signal Td. The signal output Td of amplifier 36 is received by a limiting transistor 50 serving the functional purpose of the temperature comparator 18 shown in FIG. 1. When the base-emitter forward bias of transistor 50 is reached upon receipt of signal Td from summing amplifier 36, the transistor is turned on causing the controlling input to transistor 10 to be shunted with such resulting input to the transistor being reduced. As the signal Td from amplifier 36 is reduced, representing a reduction in operating temperature of die 44 of transistor 10, such a voltage input recedes below the forward bias of transistor 50, turning off the transistor and permitting the controlling input to transistor 10 to resume at normal operating levels.
In an actual embodiment of the subject invention, transistor 50 is designed so as to turn on to produce its shunting function when the signal from summing amplifier 36 is representative of a 200� C. die temperature. The maximum or upper limiting temperature for the die of a sensed transistor monitored by the thermal protection circuit of this invention can vary depending upon the type and operating characteristics of the die and transistor. Also in an actual embodiment of the thermal protection circuit of this invention, the summing amplifier 36 was biased so as to saturate at a low junction temperature of 25� C. thereby making the protector circuit operable within the temperature range of 25� C. to 200� C.
The basic thermal protection circuit shown in FIG. 3 is similar to that shown in FIG. 2 with the exception that the signal Ts from integrated circuit 48, which is a current representative of the temperature of heat sink 22 of transistor 10, is received by the input of operational amplifier 30 of the mirror circuit for multiplier 12 instead of being received by the input of summing amplifier 36. This modification will be utilized if the output signal from integrated circuit 48 is oppositely poled. In all other respects the components and their functions above described with respect to FIG. 2 apply equally to the circuit of FIG. 3.
Where a series of transistors are desired to be monitored by the thermal protection circuit of this invention and such transistors do not share the same heat sink or have the same power applied to all, it may be preferable to simply monitor the hottest of the group of transistors instead of utilizing an individual thermal protection circuit for each of the transistors. In the protection circuit of this invention, the use of virtual grounds within the circuit makes the circuit easier to service and to check for maintenance. Additionally, the control components which receive and monitor the sensed die temperature derived by the circuit can vary. When the thermal protection circuit of this invention is utilized in an amplifier, the output stages may be of a variety of types.
It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the details above given but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims.

"Within two decades, we will have the biotechnology tools to substantially extend human life, something that Terry Grossman, MD, and I (Ray Kurzweil) call bridge two. That will bring us to bridge three, which is the full application of nanotechnology to human health and longevity, which will extend human life indefinitely," he explains.

I ordered a Seksy watch online for my Mum's birthday and unfortunately it wasn't the model she wanted. I e mailed the company and explained that I wanted to exchange if for another model which was £20 cheaper. They replied the same day saying yes that was fine.
I sent the watch back and the replacment arrived the next day with a refund of £20 already processed.
Fantastic service and would certainly use again

This Porn-Search Live Feed Is Completely Insane
Isn't the Internet just the best? It seems there's something new to mesmerize us every day, piquing our fascination with the world around us. Whether it's a new cat species or simply a new way to love Ryan Gosling, there's never a dull moment on the World Wide Web.
Leave it to the fine folks at PornMD to harness the power of the 'Net and renew our conviction that the world is full of certifiable weirdos. These ambitious (pervy?) engineers have created a real-time feed of the search terms entered on the site. You know, just in case you were wondering just what exactly the guy next to you at Starbucks is into. And, not to yuck anyone's yum or anything, but some of these are real gross. Us R29ers — ever the intrepid researchers! — spent quite a bit of time just sort of staring, slack-jawed and hypnotized. Let us just say, the term "tentacle porn" came up a bit too often for our collective comfort.
Click through to the feed if you're feeling adventurous, but be warned — it took us a long time to capture a screenshot that was even remotely SFW. (Of course, if you're feeling inspired but are in the market for something a bit more tasteful and female-positive, we've got you covered). (Gawker)

Kate and William May Name First Child Diana, Pal Claims
Kate Middleton and Prince William may call their first child Diana after the late Princess of Wales, if it is a baby girl, a former schoolmate of the Duchess of Cambridge claims.
"Funnily enough, Diana is a name Catherine has always loved," Jessica Hay, who once shared a dorm with Middleton at Marlborough College, told Australian magazine New Idea.
Middleton, 30, confirmed her pregnancy on Dec. 3 and she is said to be close to three months pregnant. Amid rumors that the couple is expecting twins, Hay said that having a boy and a girl would be a "dream come true" for the pair.
"Catherine would love twins and a lot of people in their circle in London say it could indeed be the case that she is expecting twins," Hay said. "If it were a boy and a girl, it would be a dream come true for them both."
Middleton, 30, who is less than 12 weeks pregnant, was seen leaving the hospital with Prince William at 11 a.m. GT on December 6. A smiling Middleton was holding yellow flowers and waved to the crowd as she departed from the hospital in a black car.
The Duke and Duchess were spending time with her parents in Bucklebury when she became ill with the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum, or acute nausea.
Prince William sprung into action and drove his wife, along with their personal security team, 50 miles in their Range Rover to the hospital, where Kate was placed on an IV drip.
"[Kate] took to her bed for most of the weekend and on Monday morning, her mother and William told her she must get herself checked out by medics," Hay explained.
"She's already feeling much better and, as they do with everything, they're getting through the ordeal by making each other laugh," added.
Breaking the news about her pregnancy was the most nerve-wracking moment of Kate's entire life, according to Hay.
"They're relieved everyone knows and they're just focused on getting her health firmly back on track."

Okay, it's kinda free, but I can hit $30, the new $5, easy just by loading up my weekend meals at Kit Kitchen. I'm sorry, I promise I am not shilling for CM but I love this corner of the produce section where you choose a recipe and the ingredients are all there waiting in correct porportions. Today, I am heading over to hit the guacamole bar, grab a bag of fresh bird stuffings from Generation Farms in Rice,Texas, and claim my milk. Tonight, I'm going to build a fire, sip a glass of Beajoulais Nouveau, and curl up with an interesting book.

Gove gets off to a bad start: After being ousted as Education Secretary, he loses first vote as Chief Whip and is named the country's least popular top Tory
- Michael Gove was demoted to Chief Whip in Cameron's dramatic reshuffle
- Gloating teachers celebrated the sudden demise of their Tory nemesis
- Strategists feared his 'toxic' reputation was damaging the education reforms
- Labour ambush him with surprise Commons vote, and win by 203 to 16
- Poll shows just 22% of voters like him and 11% think he would be a good PM
Michael Gove suffered his first Commons defeat as Chief Whip today, as he was revealed to be the least popular senior Tory in the country.
David Cameron rallied to the defence of his old friend, after dumping him from his role as Education Secretary in yesterday's dramatic reshuffle.
While teaching unions celebrated Mr Gove's departure after bitter clashes over his leadership, supporters of his free schools programme have expressed dismay at his demise.
Scroll down for video
Michael Gove, arriving in Downing Street today, was shunted from the Department for Education to become Chief Whip
Mr Gove's sudden departure was one of the big shocks of the reshuffle, in which Mr Cameron promoted several women and Eurosceptics.
His demotion to Chief Whip, without a major department to, leaves him outside the Cabinet and taking a £36,000 pay cut.
As Chief Whip, Mr Gove is charged with ensuring Tory MPs turn up to vote on legislation.
But on his first day in the job, he suffered a defeat over controversial plans for the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to audit Labour's manifesto.
Labour MP Alison McGovern has launched a backbench bill to enshrine the plans into law, but they are opposed by the government.
In a parliamentary ambush, Labour MPs called both aye and no when asked to agree it to trigger a vote.
With most Tory and Lib Dems MPs already heading to lunch after Prime Minister's Questions, Labour won by 203 votes to 16.
The vote is not binding, and the bill stands no chance of becoming law, but losing a vote within hours of taking the job is embarrassing for Mr Gove.
Labour leader Ed Miliband mocked Mr Gove, as he sat on the front bench next to William Hague, Nick Clegg and David Cameron during PMQs
Mr Cameron heaped praise on Mr Gove's record on academies, free schools and raising standards
Earlier he was mocked in the Commons, as Labour leader Ed Miliband asked Mr Cameron: 'We have always said we will support the Government when they do the right thing - so can I join thousands of parents across the country in congratulating you on getting rid of the Education Secretary?
'Why did you demote him?'
Mr Cameron hit back: 'Let me tell you what the former education secretary achieved. A record number of academies, new free schools, standards rising across the country, and reforms that will endure.
'But isn't it extraordinary... on a day of a record increase in the numbers at work in our country, you will do anything not to talk about economic recovery, deficit falling, economy growing, numbers in work rising - and I'm not surprised you don't want to talk about people in work, your own job looks a bit shaky.'
Playing down his surprise shift yesterday, Mr Gove said: 'Demotion, emotion, promotion, locomotion, I don't know how you would describe this move, though move it is, all I would say is that it's a privilege to serve.'
But his removal as the face of the government's education reforms came after polls showed he was toxic for teachers – and voters.
A new Ipsos/Mori survey today showed just 22 per cent of voters say they like him, half the 44 per cent who like Mr Cameron. A huge 58 per cent said they like Boris Johnson.
Mr Gove has previously been tipped as a future Tory leadership candidate but the poll showed just 11 per cent of people think he has what it takes to be a good Prime Minister.
Almost a third (32 per cent) backed Mr Johnson as a PM, followed by 30 per cent for Theresa May and 18 per cent who thought George Osborne has what it takes.
