Ayatollah: 'Wipe Israel off face of Earth'
Says Jewish state must be obliterated
An influential Iranian cleric has warned President Obama not to include Israel in any nuclear negotiations because the Jewish state must be destroyed.
"What is visible is that Obama has agreed to include the fake Zionist regime (Israel) in future negotiations," said Ayatollah Mohammad Khatami, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts.
"However, we firmly believe [Israel] must be wiped off the face of the earth and we don't recognize [its existence]." Khatami said according to IRNA, the official news agency of the Islamic Republic.
The Assembly of Experts is responsible for appointing the regime's supreme leader.
After the six-month interim deal was reached last weekend, Obama asked in a telephone call to Benjamin Netanyahu that the Israeli prime minister "take a breather" in his vocal denunciation of the agreement. In return, the two agreed that Israel would send a delegation, headed by Israeli National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen, to Washington to discuss strategy for a permanent agreement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Friday that all further discussions will have to leave out Israel, IRNA reported, because Iran would not attend a meeting with a state that is headquartered in Jerusalem.
"We consider the Zionist regime as the biggest danger to the region and the world," Zarif said.
Khatami said America cannot be trusted and that it's obvious it wants to break its promises made at the Geneva meeting.
"Already, when the ink of the Geneva agreement is not yet dry, the lie is reflected on websites that Iran does not have (uranium) enrichment rights," he said.
Iran's Foreign Ministry strongly objected to a White House press release on the terms of last weekend's Geneva agreement.
"What has been released by the website of the White House as a fact sheet is a one-sided interpretation of the agreed text in Geneva, and some of the explanations and words in the sheet contradict the text of the Joint Plan of Action (the title of the Iran-5+1 world powers deal), and this fact sheet has unfortunately been translated and released in the name of the Geneva agreement by certain media, which is not true," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said Tuesday.
Shortly after the Geneva agreement was reached last Sunday, the Islamic Republic's supreme leader claimed victory.
"I thank God … the new government … was able to legitimize the Iranian nation's nuclear program on the international stage," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, "and take the initial step in a way that the nuclear rights and the enrichment rights of the Iranian nation are acknowledged by world powers where before they had tried to deny them. (The agreement will) open the way for future big strides in technical and economic progress."
Early Sunday, Iran and the 5+1 world powers – the five permanent U.N. Security Council members plus Germany – reached agreement in Geneva over its illicit nuclear program.
Under the agreement, Iran, in return for billions of dollars in sanctions relief, will keep much of its nuclear infrastructure, is limited to enriching uranium at the 5 percent level for six months, will convert its highly enriched uranium of 20 percent to harmless oxide and will allow more intrusive inspections of its nuclear plants by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will be limited to only agreed-on facilities.
On Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced that the Islamic Republic's uranium enrichment process "will never witness the stop of enrichment in Iran and that enrichment is our red line."
"The most important fact is that there will be no new sanctions. This means that the sanctions regime has been broken," Rouhani said.
Khamenei, as negotiations resumed last week, told thousands of Basij militia forces that the Iranian strategy was an "artistic maneuver and the use of different tactics (would be used) to reach different goals and ideals" of the Islamic regime. Stalling tactics for more than a decade have allowed Iran to greatly enhance its nuclear capability to the point it could become nuclear-armed within weeks.
Khamenei called Israel a "rabid dog," "unclean," "illegitimate" and "a bastard."
"The Zionist regime is destined to destruction because this miserable regime was imposed (on the Middle East) based upon force, and no imposed phenomenon can last," he told the Basij forces.
Basij commanders in return issued a statement Wednesday: "The everlasting covenant with the supreme leader will continue for the full elimination of arrogant powers (America) and the destruction of the Zionist regime. We ask God the same way that had Muslims through the renewed alliance with the Prophet (Muhammad) enter Masjid al-Haram (the grand mosque in Mecca upon the conquest of Mecca by Muhammad), this renewed alliance (with the supreme leader) also prepares the dignified and victorious believers into Al-Aqsa Mosque (the third holiest site in Islam in Jerusalem)."
Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran's Revolutionary Guard and author of the award-winning book "A Time to Betray" (Simon & Schuster, 2010). He serves on the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and the advisory board of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran (FDI).

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Alumni gifts make a transformative difference in the Penn State Smeal College of Business, and no one knows this better than Denny Gioia, chairman of the Department of Management and Organization (M&O).
In the last five years, philanthropy has made it possible for Gioia and his colleagues to recruit and retain the best students and faculty in a very competitive market, as well as provide curriculum in response to student demand.
"Our donors have immensely improved our ability to serve students and help students financially, to retain our star faculty, to create new programs and to target market needs that better prepare our students for their next steps. We couldn't operate at a top 10 level without them," said Gioia.
Last fall, Smeal benefited from a gift of $5 million from an anonymous donor, a significant portion of which went directly to support the activities of the M&O Department. These endowments help M&O attract the very best undergraduates by providing scholarships to students with financial need who have demonstrated academic excellence. They also support his efforts to bring the best doctoral students to campus by generating the resources needed to offer compensation packages that allow Smeal to compete for elite candidates.
"Our donors have immensely improved our ability to serve students and help students financially, to retain our star faculty, to create new programs and to target market needs that better prepare our students for their next steps. We couldn't operate at a top 10 level without them."
-- Denny Gioia, chairman of the Department of Management and Organization
At the same time, offerings in entrepreneurship and innovation have seen much growth thanks to Michael J. Farrell, who in 1999 endowed the Farrell Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Farrell recently has made a new commitment to the center that will create two new professorships, the Michael J. Farrell Endowed Professor of Entrepreneurship and the Michael J. Farrell Early Career Professor of Entrepreneurship. Farrell earned his bachelor's degree in accounting and management information systems from Smeal in 1971.
According to Gioia, student demand for courses in entrepreneurship is rising tremendously, and the department has been able to meet that rising demand with more courses and the most qualified faculty.
"These funds give us so many resources for teaching and conducting programs for the benefit of students," said Gioia. "We added four courses in entrepreneurship this year, and we plan on adding four more for next year. We were also able to recognize Tim Pollock as the new Farrell Professor of Entrepreneurship."
Professorships are important because, according to Gioia, they allow the college to recognize faculty accomplishments and provide research funding, which not only keeps Smeal on the leading edge but also improves the ability to retain top faculty.
All recent gifts have supported the Smeal College of Business in reaching its goals in For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. This University-wide effort is directed toward a shared vision of Penn State as the most comprehensive, student-centered research university in America. The University is engaging Penn State's alumni and friends as partners in achieving six key objectives: ensuring student access and opportunity, enhancing honors education, enriching the student experience, building faculty strength and capacity, fostering discovery and creativity and sustaining the University's tradition of quality. The campaign's top priority is keeping a Penn State degree affordable for students and families. The For the Future campaign is the most ambitious effort of its kind in Penn State's history, with the goal of securing $2 billion by 2014.

This is my recipe for Salvadoran meatballs ("albóndigas"). I will also include my recipe for homemade salsa if you're feeling especially ambitious. (It's worth the little bit of extra effort!)
Sra. López's Salvadoran Meatballs
(adapted from Doris Perez's Salvadoran Meatball recipe)
* 1 egg
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* ½ cup chopped fresh tomatoes
* ½ cup minced onion
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic
* ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, (original recipe calls for mint but my husband didn't like that.)
* 1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon (optional)
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* enough oil for frying, (I use Canola)
1. Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the beef in handfuls and then add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Blend well.
2. Form the mixture into balls or small patties. (Salvadorans make more of a small, fat patty shape.)
3. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the balls/patties approximately 5 minutes per side until nicely browned. Serve over white rice with salsa (recipe below). Serves 4.
Sra. López's Fresh Salsa
1 32 ounce can of whole tomatoes (use fresh roma tomatoes if you want)
1 handful fresh cilantro
1/2 an onion
1/4 of a medium green bell pepper
1 tablespoon raw, minced garlic
a few rings of pickled jalapeño (add more or less to taste)
salt to taste
a few drops of Worcestershire sauce (or "Salsa Perrins" as it's called at our house.)
Combine in a blender. Serve immediately or put in a jar and keep refrigerated for a few days. Use in almost any recipe calling for salsa, or as a side with Latin American dishes.

COLUMBUS – If the Crew were as defiant defending their home turf as they were in insisting the result wasn't indicative of the play, then maybe they wouldn't have walked out of Crew Stadium with a jarring 4-0 defeat to Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday.
To be fair, even winning coach Sigi Schmid had kind things to say about his former team. But he has been around long enough not to provide bulletin board material for Columbus with a rematch looming in the U.S. Open Cup final in Seattle on Oct. 5.
"I know the Crew is a good team," he said. "There was a period of time after we scored where they completely dominated us for 20 minutes."
The problem for the Crew, now 13-7-5 after losing back-to-back games for the first time this season, was that the first of Blaise Nkufo's three goals came just four minutes into the game.
"We came from the locker room really flat," Crew coach Robert Warzycha said.
The Crew did pick up the pace and had several opportunities – notably a missed attempt from inside the box by Steven Lenhart and a Kasey Keller save on Eddie Gaven – but were miserable in their finishing again and the Sounders (10-9-6) made Columbus pay.
"That would have been huge if we were able to tie the game," Gaven said. "Unfortunately we weren't able to do that and they scored two goals and that really, really, really killed us."
Nkufo made it 2-0 in the 39th minute and Nathan Sturgis added a penalty kick in the 42nd as the stunned Crew went into the locker room down 3-0.
"We had that fighting spirit there," Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer said. "They punished us for going forward and before we knew it in a blink of an eye it was 3-0 going into halftime.
"We had some looks. We didn't put away our chances. They put away their chances. I'd like to see us fight a little bit more and be more prideful and not let that happen at that point."
Despite being down three at the break en route to tying the team record for worst defeat, Warzycha saw the positives.
"We played very well in the first half," he said. "The ball movement was very good. We created a number of chances but we couldn't buy a goal. The first goal didn't change anything because we started to play better. We dominated the game in the first half."
He used the phrase "couldn't buy a goal" four times in his press conference, and with good reason: Seattle had seven of its nine shots go on frame in the first 45 minutes, while the Crew had just one of seven on target.
"What's probably hardest is we didn't even play that bad at times during that game but somehow lost 4-0," Gaven said. "Right now we're trying to figure out why."
"They were effective on the night," Crew defender Danny O'Rourke said. "Sigi probably had them pumped up. They punished us. I don't think they punished us on mistakes per se, maybe little lapses.
"We kept the ball well," he added. "We were dangerous but couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. It showed – 4-0. That's a [butt] kicking."
It's become common of late for the Eastern Conference leaders. In their last four losses since July 31, they have been outscored 12-2, including 7-1 in the past two matches.
"This is a game that's unacceptable for us playing at home in front of a great crowd," Gaven said. "To go out and lose a game like that 4-0 is something that should never happen."
Asked if he was embarrassed, Gaven replied, "I would say, yeah, probably every guy in here is."
Up next for the Crew is a home CONCACAF Champions League match against Santos Laguna on Tuesday.
"The best thing a professional can have is a short memory," O'Rourke said. "You go home, get a good night's sleep and prepare tomorrow for Tuesday."

How to save for a down payment on a home: part II
Last month we explained how to save for your down payment. Now that you've done that, it's time to focus your plan. You already know that purchasing a home is a substantial investment, and you'll need to ensure you can afford the monthly mortgage payments. You'll also need to save up enough money for a down payment and other associated expenses, such as closing costs.
While you don't always need to supply a larger down payment due to programs and resources now available for qualified borrowers, the higher your down payment is, the better it is for future finances. Your monthly mortgage payment will be lower and you may qualify for better rates or terms.
A larger down payment allows you to retain full ownership of the home faster and can save you a substantial sum of money through lower interest rates affixed to mortgages.
Determine a goal
You should take a look at your finances to determine what kind of home is affordable. A financial expert or mortgage loan consultant can help figure out the best budget for your current financial situation. In addition, online calculators can estimate how much house you can afford. Also, a mortgage loan consultant can look at pre-approving you for a home loan to help determine which loan type you prefer or are qualified for, if mortgage insurance will be required and give you an idea of how much the closing costs and total monthly payment will be.
You can also reach out to real estate agents in the area to ask about the average listing and selling prices of homes in different neighborhoods you're considering. If you know you want to move to a specific area and homes typically sell for $300,000, you can use that information to tailor a down payment goal specifically to that amount. So, a 20 percent down payment, which is on the high end of the recommended 5 to 20 percent down payment, would equal $60,000.
Do a credit check up
During the pre-approval process, you will be able to have your credit score reviewed to see if there is room for improvement. Be sure to go off of this new credit score since many consumer scores you see on websites are not the same as what a lender uses.
Find ways to save
We also recommend automatically putting a portion of your paycheck into your savings account. You'll miss the money less if you don't get a chance to see it in your checking account in the first place!
Another way to boost a savings account is to work more hours/shifts (for hourly employees) or take on another job. Temporarily increasing total income will help you reach your goal and supply a proper down payment for a dream home.
You can cut down on a number of extra expenses in order to start building up savings, just like you would with any savings goal. Eating dinner out, heading to the movies every weekend and purchasing coffee every morning can really add up.
When saving money for a down payment, you should make a list of all expenses that are required, such as rent, food, clothing and monthly bills. All other extra expenses should be listed in order from most to least costly. By cutting out the most frivolous expenses and trimming the fat from there, you can develop a budget that saves a substantial amount of money.
In addition, replacing certain costs with less expensive ones can help significantly. Here are some ideas for cutting your current living costs:
- Cancel cable and invest in a more affordable streaming service
- Create your own vending machine stash of snacks at your desk instead of visiting the machine once a day, save $1/day or $20/month
- Brew your own coffee, save $4/day or $120/month
- Cut back on one restaurant visit per week, save $25/week or $100/month
- Drink glasses of ice water instead of new bottles of water (an environmental choice, too!), save up to $1/day or $30/month
- Carpool once a week, save $6/week or $24/month
- Skip one impulse buy, save $40/month
- Cancel your home landline phone service and just use your cell phone, save $50/month
We don't expect you to adopt all of those suggestions while you're saving for your down payment (actually, you probably have a few creative ideas of your own that didn't make our list). However, if you did incorporate those short-term cuts into your life, you could save $400+ a month and $5,000+ a year!

I've been running a search for Mordell curves of rank >=8 for about 12 months and have identified approximately 280,000 curves in our archivable range, amongst many millions that aren't.
For this search I have been utilizing up to 60 3Ghz+ cpus at any one time. Right now I'm reaching the point of decreasing return and greatly increased memory requirements. As such, I need to be a little smarter in some of the maths.
My question is, then, what is believed (or known) to be the fastest factoring algorithm for positive integers < 2^60.
I'm not overly keen to consume further multiple GHz decades of processing power unless I can get a reasonable return on investment, for which a fast factoring algorithm would certainly help.
Any ideas are more than welcome.
Reading through the responses makes me realise that I should probably add that I want to keep the factoring within 64 bit arithmetic. The Pollard Rho algorithm was interesting, but probably would exceed the 64 bit limit during its execution.
Another part of the puzzle it that, from the factorisations, I'm storing the differences of divisor pairs for each number factored. This may, potentially, leave me with an array of about 50,000,000 values which then subsequently needs to be sorted.
I have been using Pari/GP for this project and, up till now, it's been great. My current problem is mainly with memory usage, with each Pari/GP task taking over 8GByte of memory. This is preventing my 32 core machine from being as efficient as it may otherwise have been. Hence my intent to move to 64 bit arithmetic and 'C' code, to hopefully gain efficiencies in both time and space, thus breathing new life into an otherwise stalling project.
Thank you to all those that responded with so many good suggestions on how to proceed.
Eventually I've decided to use the flint library, as suggested by William Hart, rather than try to re-invent the wheel. The ability of flint to work directly with 64 bit integers gives me a great advantage as regards memory usage and speed when compared to my current setup. In particular I can now run all 32 cores on my main machine and still have memory left over, potentially giving an 8 fold improvement on processing throughput.

4-VA partners speaking same language
JMU instructor Lilian Feitosa (center) talks with students during her beginning Portuguese class, which is offered to students at Virginia Tech (on screen, left) as part of the 4-VA initiaitve.
One by one, the JMU students in Lilian Feitosa's beginning Portuguese class settle into their seats, switch on their microphones and glance at the giant projection screens at the front of the room that show the same scenario playing out 140 miles away at Virginia Tech.
As class begins, the students take turns reading from a textbook while images of the Portuguese capital of Lisbon appear on the auxiliary monitors. The immersive videoconferencing system, powered by Cisco, ensures that whoever is speaking instantly appears on screen, and the high-definition, real-time quality of the audio and video creates the feeling that the two groups are together in the same room.
Feitosa, a native Brazilian who is in her fourth semester of teaching Portuguese at JMU via TelePresence, connects her laptop and streams a YouTube clip of a Portuguese music video while her students follow along with a copy of the lyrics. "I like to use a lot of visuals and music, and the quality of the technology is really good," she says.
Course sharing is a key component of 4-VA, a partnership among JMU, George Mason University, the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech to increase collaborative learning and research. Since the spring of 2012, more than 125 students have participated in shared courses with JMU.
Interest in JMU's upper-level foreign language classes, particularly Portuguese, Arabic and Italian, is strong.
"We've noticed that some of the member schools, particularly Virginia Tech, wanted to extend some languages," said Dr. Giuliana Fazzion, head of foreign languages, literatures and cultures at JMU and professor of Italian. "They may have a request from three or four of their students to continue, but for them it isn't feasible to offer the course with that number so they partner with us."
JMU students benefit from the partnership as well. Prior to 4-VA, for example, an advanced business Chinese course was only available to those JMU students who paid for a semester abroad. And when a professor of Korean at Madison retired, the university turned to 4-VA partner George Mason to provide instruction rather than canceling classes until a new instructor was hired.
Foreign language courses are well suited to TelePresence because they require student-teacher interaction. The conference rooms at each member institution are identical and so is the equipment, including three 65-inch projection screens, auxiliary monitors and a smart printer with which to share documents and administer quizzes and tests. Faculty use Blackboard to post lectures and assignments and to communicate with students.
Since Arabic has its own alphabet and numeric characters, JMU instructor Israa Alhassani uses a document camera to conduct grammar exercises in her classes, which are also shared with Virginia Tech. As she writes, the words appear simultaneously on a monitor in Blacksburg. Alhassani says TelePresence will allow for more Virginia students to continue studying Arabic.
"This is my first experience with TelePresence and the technology is great," says JMU sophomore Daniel Wagner of Richmond, Va., who is interested in Brazil as an emerging world power and wanted to add Portuguese to his resumé after achieving near fluency in Spanish. "I can't speak for the Virginia Tech students, but I think it's great that we can include them so more students can study Portuguese or other classes we offer that they might not have the faculty for."
In addition to foreign languages, JMU currently shares biology courses and an intelligence analysis course through 4-VA, and plans are under way to extend Madison's course offerings to include physics, engineering, digital photography and international crisis simulations.

Principles for type selection
For bircuit breaker:
1. For a circuit breaker, its rated working voltage and rated working current shall not be lower than normal working voltage and normal working current or calculating current of corresponding circuit and device, respectively.
2. The setting current of the long time-delay tripper shall be equal to or greater than the calculating load current of the circuit, and can be determined as a value 1 to 1.1 times as large as the calculating load current, but shall not be greater than a value 0.8 to 1 times as large as long-term permissible current of line conductor.
3. The setting current of a transient or short time-delay tripper shall be greater than the peak current of the circuit; but for a distribution circuit breaker, it can be determined as per the principle of not lower than a value 1.35 times as large as the peak current; however, for a motor protection circuit, it can be determined as per the principle of not lower than a value 1.35 times as large as the starting current when the action time is longer than 0.2S; or not lower than a value 1.7 to 2 times as large as the starting current when the action time is shorter than 0.2S.
4. Rated short-circuit breaking and making capacity shall not be lower than the prospective short-circuit current of its installation position.
Principles for type selection of contactor
1. Triple pole contactor is usually selected for a three-phase AC system, but to control neutral wire simultaneously, a four pole AC contactor shall be selected.
2. In a single phase AC system or DC system, it's common that two poles or three poles are connected in parallel.
3. Generally, air-type electromagnetic contactor is selected, while explosion-proof type contactor or vacuum contactor shall be selected for flammable and combustible occasions.
4. Rated working voltage, current, making & breaking capacity, and withstand overload current shall be greater than parameters of the main circuit.
5. Coil voltage of a contactor shall be determined based upon the selected control-circuit voltage. Alternating current is usually adopted, but when the operations are frequent, direct current is usually selected.
6. Type, quantity and combination form of auxiliary contact are generally determined as per system requirements, but attention is also required to ensure that making and bearing capacity, and other rated parameters of auxiliary contact meet requirements for control loop.
Principles for type selection of thermal relay
1. Generally, the intermediate value of the setting current scope of a thermal relay is equivalent to or somewhat larger than the rated current of motor.
2. In principle, the rated current of a thermal relay shall be selected as per the rated current of motor, but for a motor with poor overload capacity, the rated current of thermal relay is usually 60% to 80% of the rated current of motor and action features shall be checked.
3. If a motor needs relatively longer time to start up(usually over 5S), it's not recommended to use a thermal relay, but the over-current relay shall be used for protection, instead.
4. For a motor that can be inversely operated and is frequently powered on-off, it's not recommended to use a thermal relay for protection.
5. Usually, a thermal relay can be installed by several modes and user shall select one in a reasonable way.
Principles for type selection of voltage stabilizer
1. Pure resistive load(filament lamp, resistance wire, etc.): when selecting a voltage stabilizer, its capacity shall be greater than a value that is 1.1 to 1.3 times as large as the total load power.
2. Active, capacitive load(motor, fluorescent lamp, air-conditioner, etc.): when selecting a voltage stabilizer, its capacity shall be greater than a value that is 2.5 to 3 times as large as the total load power.
Principles for type selection of isolator and knife switch
1. An isolator's rated insulation voltage and rated working voltage shall not be lower than that of the circuit, while the rated working current shall not be lower than the calculating current of the circuit.
2. If the bearing and making capacity is required, select an isolator of the rated bearing and making capacity accordingly, and consider its current features in making and breaking(for example, starting current and starting time).
3. It's necessary to conduct a short-circuit performance checking for an isolator, so that the prospective current at its installation position is not greater than the rated short-time withstand current of the device(or rated limiting short-circuit current, if there is a short-circuit protector in the circuit).
4. For fuse combination unit, it's necessary to consider the features of the fuse, as well.
Principles for type selection of transducer options
1. AC input reactor or DC reactor (for civil use) shall be selected for the following conditions:
- If not used for a power supply(central air-conditioner motor of a hotel) greater than 55KW and poor power grid or conditions with relative small capacity, it may cause interference and excessively large deviation of three-phase current, and frequent transducer burnout.
- The distance between a motor and a transducer is greater than 100m.
2. Braking unit and braking resistor shall be selected for the following conditions
- The load is being limited.
- Rapid acceleration and deceleration frequently.
- Large inertia(a device that needs more than 1 minute for free stopping and for which constant-speed operation is smaller than accelerating current).
Principles for type selection of rated current of general fuse
1. For a fuse of protecting lighting or electrical heating appliance that has a relative stable load current, and a fuse for general control circuit, the rated current of its fuse link(In) is often determined by calculating current of the circuit.
2. For a fuse used to protect a motor, it's necessary to consider the effects of the motor's starting current as per a value that is several times as large as the motor's starting current; generally, the rated current(Ife) of a fuse is 1.5 to 3.5 times that of the rated current(Ime) of the motor.
3. Cylindrical contact cap fuse(for example, RT28 series) is not suitable for the protection of capacitor box, so for capacitive protection, please select a square tube fuse(for example, RT36 series).
4. Options for fuse used together with other switching device.
- All elements shall go with each other properly in protection features.
- Time-Current features of thermal relay and fuse must meet the time delay features of the motor from zero-speed start-up to full-speed running.
- In addition, a fuse must be able to protect the thermal relay from being damaged by a large current that is 8 times or above as large as the rated current.
- The fuse shall protect the contactor as well, under a condition of short circuit.
- When a circuit breaker is used together with a fuse, the fuse is mainly used for the breaking of a large short-circuit current.
How are residual current devices classified, according to action features when residual current is with direct current component?
1. As computer, electronic office device and household appliance are used widely, the direct current component is larger than ever increasingly in the circuit. Direct current component(if any) in a residual current may have an effect upon action features of the residual current devices, which can be classified as follows, according to working conditions when there is direct current component in residual current:
2. Type AC: refers to those residual current protection devices that can complete the tripping action, when residual simple sinusoidal alternating current is applied suddenly or increased slowly. They are used in common AC circuit.
3. Type A: those residual current protection devices that can complete the tripping action when either residual simple sinusoidal alternating current or residual pulsating direct current is applied suddenly or increased slowly. They are used in a circuit with multiple electronic devices, including household appliance, office appliance and computer. (Note: type A devices are available for NB1L and NL1 in Chint Group.)
4. Type B: similar to that of Type A; this type is mainly used for electrical devices that produce smooth direct current, for example, variable frequency, X-ray machine and UPS power supply. (Note: Type B devices are temporarily unavailable in Chint Group.)
5. Type S: this type is specially designed for a given residual current to reach a predetermined limiting non-actuating time. This type is mainly seen in higher level circuits to avoid override trip.

President Goodluck Jonathan has advised Nigerian youths to use religion to foster peace and unity in the country, even as religious youth leaders blamed the spate of societal decadence, especially violence, on the failure of religious leaders to impact teachings geared towards tolerance, peace and national unity in their followers.
Speaking in Abuja at the first Nigerian Inter-religious Youth Summit, President Jonathan, who noted that the summit could not have come at a better time than now, said religion should be more than going to churches or mosques every day.
Jonathan, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Youth and Student Affairs, Jude Imagwe said: "We have to be tolerant of others if we must move our society forward. When went wrong? There was a time in this country when we used to wait eagerly for exchange of gifts from our neighbours, Muslims and Christians during Sallah and Christmas. We have to start preaching peace, but to achieve peace, we must work for peace."
The convener of the summit, Timothy Ademola said the blame of the present rot should be directed at religious leaders, saying: "It has been argued that if religious teachers and scholars can come up with sacred identity constructs that outline more peaceful world views, the world will, to a large extent, be made much better.
"Given the fact that youths constitute the most active segment of any religion when it comes to the implementation of its sacred identity constructs, it goes without saying that such constructs become more socially-accommodating and productive.
"The youth that adopt the will become more socially accommodating and productive. At this level, religion actively becomes an instrument for youth empowerment and constructive change."
The President of Youth Wing of Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), Simon Dolly urged understanding between religious faiths.
He said: "We need to understand each other, work together and build bridges. We should build on our strength rather than look at our weaknesses."
In his presentation, the National President of National Council of Muslim Youth Organisation (MACOMYO), Kamaldeen Akintunde regretted that hypocrisy on the part of religious leaders has contributed, in no small measures, to the spate of violence in the country.
"Since religion, as a concept, means different things to different people, we should then strive to make it an agent of stability. This is more so because religious intolerance has cost the country so much in our socio-political and economic development.
While he canvassed for constitutional regulation of religious activities, the youth leader urged political, religious and community leaders to be cautious when making comments on religious issues.
The representative of Eckankar said the solution to violence in the country is peace.

When I was using Debian, there was a tool called
Ironically, the tool itself was probably the buggiest program I have ever used. I was never, ever actually able to make a successful bug report in the graphical mode.
However, the tool seems to be a good idea. I don't have to go through some online identification process, or do any browser-business - I'd just fire up a program, fill out a few forms, and that was it.
Is there something like that for the Fedora operating system? Or for Gnome itself?
Because, sometimes, I encounter weird bugs and errors, and I think it would come in handy to have such a tool at my fingertips.

THX tune-up App Launched for iOS
THX tune-up App Launched for iOS
THX today announced its first mobile app, the THX tune-up, which is now available in the iTunes App Store. THX tune-up is an easy-to-use, interactive app that lets the general consumer use an iOS device to adjust their TVs, projectors and speakers, to get the best performance and enjoyment from their entertainment system.
THX tune-up arrives just in time for this year's Big Game. According to research conducted by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, more than 7.5 million viewers are expected to buy a new television specifically for the game.1 To help all home viewers get on a level playing field and enjoy their new or existing TVs on this big day, THX is offering the app worldwide for free for the first week of its release (January 29 – February 4, 2013). THX tune-up will then be available at its regular price of US$1.99 in select countries.
THX tune-up features
Using specifically custom designed video patterns and audio tests, THX tune-up allows consumers to check that video equipment settings are optimized based on the consumer's equipment capabilities and lighting environment, and external speakers are working in phase and are connected properly. For instance, color and tint settings are often complicated to adjust properly without special glasses or other unique equipment. THX tune-up uses the iPad or iPhone camera and a special, THX-designed built-in color filter to help consumers easily ensure colors are accurate and skin tones appear natural.
The interactive app provides users step-by-step instructions via narration and text, as well as a detailed guide on how to use all of its features, walking consumers through the following tests:
Video adjustments
- Aspect ratio – ensures your TV displays shapes and sizes correctly
- Brightness – makes certain shadow details and night scenes are clearly visible
- Contrast – ensures that white detail is distinct on your television
- Color – make sure colors are bright and vibrant but not overly saturated or cartoonish
- Tint – ensures skin tones appear natural and are not too green or red
Audio adjustments
- Speaker assignment – ensures that speakers are connected to the correct audio video receiver (AVR) output and intended sound is coming from the correct speaker

The THX tune-up app is not intended to provide full calibration capabilities. For home theater enthusiasts, calibrators or installers that want a higher level of control and ability to fine-tune their system, THX has a THX Calibrator Blu-ray Disc which is given to graduates from any THX Education class, and is also available in limited quantities at industry tradeshows and events in which THX participates.
Bonus features
THX tune-up is not all about settings – THX added a number of its classic cinema features to the app that can be appreciated over and over again:
- "THX Deep Note" – the sound that made THX famous is available at the push of a button in 5.1 surround sound
- "THX Trailers" – extraordinary THX trailers (just like the ones in THX Certified Cinemas) are available in HD for users to show off their newly tuned TV and sound systems to friends and family
- "Moo Can" – users can tilt their iPhone or iPad to hear the classic "moo" sound from a popular THX cinema trailer
- "Ask Tex" – provides consumers with an easy way to get answers to any questions they might have for THX about their home theater equipment and setup process
THX and future apps
With the launch of THX tune-up, THX is laying the groundwork for partner involvement with future applications that can provide a competitive differentiator and feature enhancements for mass consumer products. With a rich history born out of George Lucas' desire to improve cinema video and audio capabilities, THX hopes to help bridge the inherent hardware capability of smart devices, TVs, speakers and overall home theater systems with content creators' creative intent to improve the home entertainment experience.
Supported devices
THX tune-up is available now for Apple iOS devices only, including the iPad 2, 3 and 4 with iOS version 5.1.1 or later; the iPad mini with version 6.0 or later; the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 with iOS version 5.1.1 or later; and the iPod touch, generation 4 or later with iOS version 5.1.1 or later. THX plans to release an Android version in Spring 2013.

Moriarty (Jared Harris) is sitting at a table inside the Hotel De La Ville in Paris surrounded by people. He's reading a newspaper inside the cafe. After a few seconds, someone walks in to tell him something. While I can't hear what they're saying, the news must be important, as he gets up after hearing it. As he rises out of the chair, the focus of the shot pulls to an old man sitting at a table in the foreground of the frame. The man is unremarkable. He wears a suit of no importance. He has a long grey beard and long grey hair. I didn't notice him until the camera pulled focus. As Moriarty leaves the room and the man jumps out of his chair, I realize it's Sherlock Holmes in disguise.
But let me back up a second.
Last month, on the day the Sundance Film Festival started, I got to visit the set of Sherlock Holmes 2 (now called Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) when the production was filming 45 miles outside London at Waddesdon Manor. While the filming that day was supposed to be taking place in Paris, director Guy Ritchie was using the manor as a stand-in for the city. The manor was built to look like a French Renaissance-style château, and standing inside the breathtaking building, I understood why they'd want to film there. Read more about my visit to the set of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows after the jump.
Since Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows doesn't get released until December 16th, Warner Bros. has only given me permission to run a preview of what I saw and learned on set. They also don't want me running any of the interviews that I did with Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Noomi Rapace, Jared Harris, producers Susan Downey and Lionel Wigram, and director Guy Ritchie. However, later this year, you can expect my full set report, all the interviews, and the video blog I recorded with Silas Lesnick from Coming Soon when we got back from set.
Now even though I can't be specific or use any quotes, I think it's safe to tell you what I thought after spending the entire day on set: I think Sherlock Holmes 2 is going to be even better than the first film – which I loved. One of the reasons I feel this way is due to what Jared Harris told us during his interview. He mentioned that he didn't want his character to explain everything in some long winded end-of-the-movie speech which lays out all of his plans. He wanted Moriarty to be mysterious. He wanted the audience to be unsure of his reasons. And that is extremely cool.
In addition to Harris saying all the right things, we got to speak to Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law for about twenty five minutes while they were both in costume as Holmes and Watson. The way they spoke to us and interacted with one another, you could tell they were extremely happy to be making a sequel to Sherlock Holmes and I can only imagine their enthusiasm will make for great chemistry on screen.
Of course during the interviews we learned a lot about what the sequel is going to be about, but since I know WB wants us to be vague for now, here's the official synopsis from the studio:
"Guy Ritchie helms a new action-packed adventure, following the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr.), and his longtime trusted associate, Dr. Watson (Law), as they match wits with their arch-nemesis, the criminal genius Moriarty (Harris)."
As you can see, they're keeping their cards close to their vest. Just know I'm very excited by what I learned on set, so if you're a fan of the first film, don't worry. They have a great story.
However, while I need to be careful what I say, Matt Goldberg wrote a bit on the film a few months ago when the first images was released and it sums up a lot:
The sequel takes place a year after the events of the first film and sees Holmes in pursuit of Professor Moriarty (Mad Men's Jared Harris), who "might be the world's first supervillain". The film also introduces Noomi Rapace in her first American role as a "feisty" gypsy named Sim. Along for the ride is Stephen Fry as Sherlock's brother Mycroft Holmes, a character who is, according to producer Susan Downey, "stranger and perhaps even more brilliant," than Sherlock. Meanwhile, as Sherlock and Watson pursue Moriarty, Watson is trying to keep his relationship with Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly) afloat.
Finally, in addition to the scene I already told you about, we also got to watch an outdoor action scene being filmed at the end of our set visit. As we stood around a monitor in a heated tent (it was very cold outside) we watched a dozen horse-drawn carriages and a hundred people react to an explosion that will be added in using CGI. I won't say anymore than that for now. Just know it was very cool to watch and I can't wait to see it when the film is completed.
Again, I'm sorry I can't say anymore, but with the film still ten months away, I can understand Warner Bros. wanting us to hold our coverage back. However, if you're going to Comic-Con this summer, I'd imagine the studio will unveil some finished footage and possibly have the cast in attendance. After all, Downey Jr. is a rock star at Comic-Con and he'll probably be there for The Avengers anyway.

EDITORIAL: AFGHANISTAN: Through my Fixer's Window
Afghanistan from the window of a rundown Toyota Corolla.
In 2008 I finished a multi-year project photographing Iraq from behind the armored windows of American Army Humvees. At the time, it was the only way to travel relatively safely. This year I found myself in Afghanistan sitting in snarling traffic, snaking all over Kabul. Road closures, checkpoints, and safety issues left me constantly driving to and from stories in my Fixer's car.
And that was certainly a unique way of seeing Kabul. Of recording some type of authentic daily life without my presence impacting too much.
But more than that, it was a peaceful bookend to a violent project I began in Iraq.

This isn't the first time I've blogged about Nestle and is likely not going to be the last. I wrote about the company when I first learned about the Nestle boycott. And again when the Nestle Family Twitter-storm took place in 2009. I wrote about Nestle when I compiled an updated list of all of the many, many brands Nestle owns (for people who choose to boycott them). And most recently, I wrote about Nestle when I discovered that they (well, two of their brands – Stouffer's and Butterfinger) would be one of about 80 sponsors at this year's BlogHer Conference in New York City.
My goal – throughout all of this – has never been to tell people what they should or should not do. That's not my place. My goal has always simply been to raise awareness. There will be people who hear about the Nestle boycott and their unethical business practices and they won't care one way or the other. Or perhaps they just won't have time to look into it further. I know that and that's fine. However, there will also be people who haven't heard about what Nestle is doing and will want to learn more and find out what they can do and that's where I like to think I can help. I'm a big fan of providing people with information and arming them with knowledge and letting them make their own choices.
So let's get to it, shall we?
First thing's first. Yes, I am going to BlogHer this year even though it is, in part, being sponsored by Nestle. I struggled with my decision for days and days, but in the end I decided to use this as another opportunity to raise awareness by blogging about Nestle, talk with people at BlogHer (who express an interest) about Nestle, and encourage BlogHer to adopt ethical sponsorship guidelines for future conferences. I also didn't feel like letting Nestle control my life. I'm not saying that the people who choose to boycott BlogHer because of Nestle are doing that (one of my best friends is boycotting the conference though will still be in NYC and rooming with me – yay!) – I wholeheartedly support the women who are boycotting – but it didn't feel like the right choice for me. I've also made a donation to Best for Babes and will make another one after BlogHer. Best for Babes is a non-profit who's mission is to help moms beat the "Booby Traps"–the cultural & institutional barriers that prevent moms from achieving their personal breastfeeding goals, and to give breastfeeding a makeover so it is accepted and embraced by the general public. Best for Babes' Credo is that ALL moms deserve to make an informed feeding decision, & to be cheered on, coached and celebrated without pressure, judgment or guilt, whether they breastfeed for 2 days, 2 months 2 years, or not at all. ALL breastfeeding moms deserve to succeed & have a positive breastfeeding experience without being "booby trapped!"
Now onto Nestle and just what it is that makes them so unethical. The following two sections are from a post by Annie of PhD in Parenting.
Overview of Nestlé's Unethical Business Practices
Nestlé is accused by experts of unethical business practices such as:
- Promoting infant formula with misleading and harmful strategies that violate the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and put babies at risk (see Baby Milk Action's Briefing on Nestle Updated July 2010 and the Boycott Nestle – and other action to protect infant health blog);
- Using suppliers that violate human rights (e.g purchasing milk from Mugabe, buying cocoa from suppliers that use child slaves) and destroy the environment (e.g. palm oil from rainforest);
- Controlling and abusing of water sources in its bottled water operations (e.g. in United States and in Brazil);
- Promoting unhealthy food, especially for young children;
- Trade union busting activities and denying the rights of workers to collectively bargain;
- …and more (see Nestle Critics Portal and Corporate Watch: Nestle SA: Corporate Crimes).
Nestlé defends its unethical business practices and uses doublespeak, denials and deception in an attempt to cover up or justify those practices. When laws don't exist or fail to hold Nestlé to account, it takes public action to force Nestlé to change. Public action can take on many forms, including boycotting Nestlé brands, helping to spread the word about Nestlé's unethical business practices, and putting pressure on the government to pass legislation that would prevent Nestlé from doing things that put people, animals and the environment at risk.
Want to boycott Nestle?
The Nestlé boycott has been going on for more than 30 years and Nestlé is still one of the three most boycotted companies in Britain. Although Nestlé officials would like to claim that the boycott has ended, it is still very much alive. But it needs to get bigger in order to have a greater impact. Nestlé owns a lot of brands and is the biggest food company in the world, so people wishing to boycott their brands need to do a bit of homework first to familiarize themselves with the brand names to avoid in the stores.
If you disagree with Nestle's business practices, I hope you will join Annie, me and others in raising awareness by Tweeting with the hashtag #noNestle. Let people know that you do not support Nestlé's unethical business practices. Tweet your message to Nestlé and to others using the hashtag #noNestle. Spread the word.
If you feel so inclined, you might also want to make a donation to an organization that supports breastfeeding, such as La Leche League or Best for Babes.
Tweet your support! Blog your message! Share on facebook!

Aaaaaaaaaand….we're back!
In what seems like a long time ago, and a place now far away, Mike and I finally up and decided to move. We'd been wanting to for years, my job search in Florida was going nowhere and had been that way for awhile, and we really wanted a change of pace. We were in a rut. So, we picked a date based on our apartment lease end date, bought tickets, sold most of what we owned, and fled sunny Florida for rainy Seattle.
So here we are! I'm typing this from our new apartment in Ballard, surrounded by boxes in various states of unpacked. It feels good to cook again, with all of my kitchen equipment, pots, knives, spices – and the quality of ingredients here has been phenomenal so far. Everything tastes fresh, rich, full-flavored. I was even swooning over the cabbage I bought at the farmer's market.
So, to celebrate the abundance of summer produce, I put together a salad that highlights it. Fresh Rainier cherries, sweet fennel, roasted green beans – they all also are refreshing and light for these afternoons where the temperature in the apartment actually climbs into the mid 80s, since most residences here don't have central air. So as not to mask the flavors of the fruit and vegetables, I dressed the salad with a simple shallot vinaigrette, also adding a little allium flavor without big pieces of onion. I used a cheese that's made here in Seattle, at Pike Place Market, called Beecher's Flagship. You can often find it in the fancy cheese section at grocery stores across the country (I even saw it at Publixes in Florida), but you can substitute it with a nutty, full flavored cheese such as Manchego or Swiss.
So, we have landed and have hit the ground running. The kitties are adapting, we're already complaining that it's too hot when it's 79F for a high, and we're just loving the city.
Seattle Summer Salad
Serves 4
1/4 cup champagne or white wine vinegar
1 cup neutral vegetable oil, such as canola or safflower
1 medium shallot, minced
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. ground fennel seed, optional
1 head red or green leaf lettuce
1 medium fennel bulb
1 lb. cherries
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1/2 lb. green beans, trimmed
4 oz. Beecher's Flagship cheese, or any nutty cheese (Manchego or Swiss would work well)
Combine the ingredients for the dressing, and set aside. This will make more dressing than you will use in this salad, the leftovers may be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Pre-heat the oven to 375. Spread the green beans on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 30 minutes, or until beginning to brown on the edges. Remove and allow to cool.
While the green beans are roasting, toast the hazelnuts in a nonstick pan, pit and halve the cherries, and shred the cheese. Chop and wash the lettuce, and thinly slice the fennel either with a mandolin or a very sharp knife.
When all of the ingredients are assembled, toss the salad ingredients with the dressing. Divide between four plates, making sure the heavier ingredients are equally divided.

Beatbox music player has been updated and made available for Ubuntu 12.04.
The former-elementary application, which hits version 0.4 with this release, gains stability, performance and bug fixes in addition to a number of significant new features.
As any music app should be Beatbox is simple to get started with, even prompting you on first run to import some music – a super intuitive gesture that will save you staring at a blank screen, or cause you to root through menus.
The importing my library was slow, and at times I thought the app had frozen, but in around the same time that it takes to boil an overly-full kettle twice my 15,000 track library was ready and waiting to be played.
One thing that is clear from the get-go is that the application has been designed solely to complement the elementary GTK theme.
For example, there are parts where colour of text used by the app drowns in Ubuntu's orange highlights; there are no icons on either of the 'view' buttons, and the monochromatic symbols for menu unfolding, shuffle, repeat, etc are simplistic but not consistent in style with the rest of the system icon theme.
But if you can overlook the (likely temporary) cosmetic inconsistencies you'll find some cracking features on offer…
The search needs to be singled out as the standout feature in Beatbox. It suggests artists and albums as you type giving you a super quick way to play what you want with a minimum of fuss.
A sole click on an album cover in the 'Album View' presents you with a pop-over track-list from which to choose tracks to play, add to play-lists etc.
I'll be blunt: I don't like the single-click approach. It breaks the expectation the rest of my desktop gives me (double-click to open something). Hopefully an option to set this as a double-click will appear in later versions.
Other features include: –
- Sound Menu support
- Two Views – Album art and 'list'
- CD Playback
- iPod Syncing
- Auto-fetching of missing album art
- Album art renderer in 'List View'
- Scrobble support
- Equaliser
Install Beatbox on Ubuntu 12.04
Like a lot of apps at the moment Beatbox is not yet available to install through the Ubuntu Software Center, but it can be installed by adding the official PPA – Personal Package Archive – to your systems' Software Sources.
This can be done quickest by using the Terminal application and running the following commands: –
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sgringwe/beatbox
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install beatbox
Once Beatbox has fully installed you can launch it using the Dash.
If you're particularly impressed with Beatbox you can 'Flattr' the developer @ flattr.
