The Taiwan Strait or Formosa Strait, formerly known as the Black Ditch, 1 is a 180 kilometres (110 mi) wide strait separating the island of Taiwan from the Asian mainland. The strait is partcitation needed of the South China Sea and connects to East China Sea to the northeast. 2 3 The narrowest part is 130 km (81 mi) wide.4
The Taiwan Strait is located between Asia and the Pacific Ocean, and it connects the South China Sea and the East China Sea. 2 3
The geo-location of Taiwan Strait | |||||||||
Fujian Province in mainland China is to the west of the strait while strategic islands like Quemoy, Xiamen Island, Pingtan Island, and the Matsu Islands lie just off the coast. To the east of the Strait are the west coasts of Taiwan and Penghu. The island fishermen use the strait as a fishing resource. The Min and Jiulong Rivers empty into the strait.
There have been discussions about the strategic importance of the Taiwan Strait. Some Japanese politicians have claimed that the Taiwan Strait is an essential sea route for oil shipment from the Middle East via the Malacca Strait to Japan.5 However, some have argued that this is merely an excuse for intervention since the sea lane east of Taiwan is even shorter6
The Strait has been the theatre for several military confrontations between Mainland China and Taiwan since the last days of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 when the Kuomintang (KMT) forces led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek retreated across the Strait and relocated its government on its final stronghold of Taiwan. A theoretical median maritime border known as the cross-strait median (海峽中線) also exist on the water to prevent certain transportation from passing.7
Proposed link
As part of the People's Republic of China's National Expressway Plan, a tunnel or possibly a bridge, was proposed in 2005 to link the cities of Fuzhou, Fujian, China with Taipei, Taiwan across the strait (Map8). If such an extreme construction would ever be built, it would by far exceed the length of any man-made tunnel in the world today. Engineers in Beijing state that a tunnel is technically feasible. However, the Republic of China government had refused to open direct links out of concern for the island's security and in fear that by doing so it would have to recognize the People's Republic of China's one-China policy.910

I am just trying Bomes Midi Translator Pro demo in conjunction with a Launchpad.
So far I have been able to translate a Launchpad pad press successfully and also have the pad light up when pressed. However, I am struggling to work out how I keep the pad lit until I press it again. Can anyone give me any clues how to do this please? |

Bome isnt enough here.
if I remember correctly the pads are note numbers and the color is defined by velocity. what you need is something like a flipflop relay, so a noteON triggers a neverending noteON for launchpad (without sending a noteOFF). if you press a launchpad key again launchpad receives a noteOFF. I am not terribly aware of graphical environments for stuff like that. probably Synthedit with some custom modules. did some launchpad stuff with Sensomusic Usine and its integrated script host. |

I was thinking driving home from work that what I was asking above wouldn't work the way I want because it needs to reflect the status in Live too.
Back to the drawing board. Still, it's fun trying to work out what I can do with it. |

i modded my launchpad pretty heavily, but never used ableton.
either way, this is very possible. Assumedly you have a midi-out running FROM ableton back to the LP in the preferences? If so - one way to do this - when you hit the key, the launchpad sends the note back to itself, to light the LED. If (parameter)= 0, then parameter= 127 if parameter= 127, then parameter=0 (that syntax is all wrong, but you see - when you press it, if it is already on (127 velocity), it switches off (0 velocity), and vice versa. alternately, you assign a global parameter to the velocity of the outgoing note (what goes FROM LP to ableton), then when you add the code for the feedback to the LP, just grab this variable and use it as the velocity. i can find proper code if i havent been able to explain that well enough. |

Thanks for your comments. I've not had a chance in the last week to play around any further but I want to explore the options when time allows. |

The Australian Government's position on early childhood education will be in the spotlight next week at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus.
The Hon Maxine McKew, Parliamentary Secretary for Early Childhood Education and Child Care, will address the Investing in our future: Connections in childhood forum on Monday 7 July.
The forum, hosted by the University's Centre for Education, Research and Children (CERC), brings together early childhood educators, service providers and academics to consider current initiatives for young children, their families and the community.
CERC Director Dr Peter Whiteman said the shift to a national focus on early childhood learning was a welcome development.
"More than ever the early years are being recognised as a vitally important time in the educational development of children," Dr Whiteman said.
"However data show that up to 20 per cent of all Australian four-year-olds don't go to preschool in the year before starting school. For Indigenous children the figure is closer to 50 per cent."
The theme of the forum reflects the vital importance of the early years for children, their families and the community.
Invited speakers will address this issue, including the importance of connections, partnerships, coordinated responses, and outlining early childhood initiatives.
Ms McKew is expected to outline the Australian Government's early childhood initiatives such as the delivery of universal early childhood education and the development of a national Early Years Learning Framework.
The number of early childhood centres across Australia and childcare tax benefits are also expected to be discussed at the forum.
Ms McKew will be joined by representatives from the NSW Department of Community Services and the NSW Department of Education and Training in addressing the forum. Members of the public and media are welcome.
The forum commences at 10.15am Monday 7 July in building LT1 at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus. Ms McKew will address the forum at 12.10pm.

I've made a blank hat template and posted it HERE to help celebrate Dr. Seuss' upcoming birthday. I once used it as an art history lesson by reviewing a couple of famous artists (Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh, etc.) and then asking students to create a hat in their style. I'm sure there are other possibilities, I'd love to hear about them if you have a chance to share.

I love this idea so much!
Thank you for sharing your template.
What size do you suggest printing on?
Standard paper size or 11x18?
I am sure the larger looks better, right?

Engineering in Reverse!
Students learn about the process of reverse engineering and how this technique is used to improve upon technology. In this activity, students analyze a push-toy and draw a diagram of the predicted mechanisms inside the toy. Then, they disassemble the toy and draw the actual inner mechanisms. By understanding how the push-toy functions, students make suggestions for improvement, such as cost effectiveness, improved functionality, ecological friendliness and any additional functionality they deter
Energy Sources Research
Fact sheets are provided for several different energy resources as a starting point for students to conduct literature research on the way these systems work and their various pros and cons. Students complete a worksheet for homework or take more time in class for research and presentation of their findings to the class. This approach requires students to learn for themselves and to teach each other – rather than having a teacher lecture about the various sources and systems.
Energy Systems Activity
Posters are provided for several different energy conversion systems. The students are provided with cards that give the name and a description of each of the components in the energy system. They have to match these with the figures on the diagram. Since the groups look at different systems, they must also describe their results with the class to share their knowledge.
You're the Expert
Student teams learn about and devise technical presentations on four reproductive technology topics — pregnancy ultrasound, amniocentesis, in-vitro fertilization or labor anesthetics. Each team acts as a panel of engineers asked to make a presentation to a group of students unfamiliar with the reproductive technology. Each group incorporates non-lecture elements into its presentation for greater effectiveness. As students learn about the technologies, by creating a presentation and listening t
Sound Booth Construction
Students explore the sound dampening ability of numerous materials by designing and prototyping model sound booths. As a result, students learn about how sound is reflected, absorbed and travels through various materials, thus giving them an overview of sound dampening, energy absorption and sound propagation in the context of engineering. Students also create blueprints and document their findings in a formal lab report.
My Mechanical Ear Can Hear!
Students are introduced to various types of hearing impairments and the types of biomedical devices that engineers have designed to aid people with this physical disability.
Protect Those Eyes
Students design and build prototypes for protective eyewear. They choose different activities or sports that require protective eyewear and design a device for that particular use. Students learn about the many ways in which the eyes can be damaged and how engineers incorporate different features and materials into eyewear designs to best protect the eyes.
Power Your House with Water
Students learn how engineers design devices that use water to generate electricity by building model water turbines and measuring the resulting current produced in a motor. Students work through the engineering design process to build the turbines, analyze the performance of their turbines and make calculations to determine the most suitable locations to build dams.
Exploring Light: Absorb, Reflect, Transmit or Refract?
In a hands-on way, students explore light's properties of absorption, reflection, transmission and refraction through various experimental stations within the classroom. To understand absorption, reflection and transmission, they shine flashlights on a number of preselected objects. To understand refraction, students create indoor rainbows. An understanding of the fundamental properties of light is essential to designing an invisible laser security system.
Laser Light Properties: Protecting the Mummified Troll!
Students learn and use the properties of light to solve the following challenge: "A mummified troll was discovered this summer at our school and it has generated lots of interest worldwide. The principal asked us, the technology classes, to design a security system that alerts the police if someone tries to pilfer our prized possession. How can we construct a system that allows visitors to view our artifact during the day, but invisibly protects it at night in a cost-effective way?"
Learning Light's Properties
Students learn the basic properties of light — the concepts of light absorption, transmission, reflection and refraction, as well as the behavior of light during interference. Lecture information briefly addresses the electromagnetic spectrum and then provides more in-depth information on visible light. With this knowledge, students better understand lasers and are better prepared to design a security system for the mummified troll.
Both Fields at Once?!
This lesson discusses the result of a charge being subject to both electric and magnetic fields at the same time. It covers the Hall effect, velocity selector, and the charge to mass ratio. Given several sample problems, students learn to calculate the Hall Voltage dependent upon the width of the plate, the drift velocity, and the strength of the magnetic field. Then students learn to calculate the velocity selector, represented by the ratio of the magnitude of the fields assuming the strength o
Induced EMF in a coil of wire
Students use a simple set up consisting of a coil of wire and a magnet to visualize induced EMF. First, students move a coil of wire near a magnet and observe the voltage that results. They then experiment with moving the wire, magnet, and a second, current carrying coil. Students connect the coil to a circuit and the current from the induced EMF charges a conductor.
Ampere's Law
The lesson begins with a demonstration introducing students to the force between two current carrying loops, comparing the attraction and repulsion between the loops to that between two magnets. After formal lecture on Ampere's law, students begin to use the concepts to calculate the magnetic field around a loop. This is applied to determine the magnetic field of a toroid, imagining a toroid as a looped solenoid.
Changing Fields
This lesson begins with an activity in which students induce EMF in a coil of wire using magnetic fields. Then, demonstrations on Eddy currents show how a magnetic field can slow magnets just as Eddy currents are used to slow large trains. There is then a demonstration in which a loop "jumps" because of a changing magnetic field. Finally, formal lecture reviews the cross product with respect to magnetic force and introduces magnetic flux, Faraday's law of Induction, Lenz's Law, Eddy curr
Muscles, Oh My!
Students are introduced to how engineering closely relates to the field of biomechanics and how the muscular system produces human movement. They learn the importance of the muscular system in our daily lives, why it is important to be able to repair muscular injuries and how engineering helps us by creating things to benefit our muscular health, movement and repair.
Cutting Through Soil
Students pretend they are agricultural engineers during the colonial period and design a miniature plow that cuts through a "field" of soil. They are introduced to the engineering design process and learn of several famous historical figures who contributed to plow design.
Global Climate Change
Students learn how the greenhouse effect is related to global warming and how global warming impacts our planet, including global climate change. Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and how we react to these changes are the main points of focus of this lesson.
Design a Net-Zero Energy Classroom
Students create a concept design of their very own net-zero energy classroom by pasting renewable energy and energy-efficiency items into and around a pretend classroom on a sheet of paper. They learn how these items (such as solar panels, efficient lights, computers, energy meters, etc.) interact to create a learning environment that produces as much energy as it uses.
Probability, Permutations and Combinations
Students learn about probability by exploring relationships in a deck of cards. They start with basic concepts in probability and move on to permutations and combinations. Students apply their understanding of probability by pretending to be software engineers who are designing the scoring system for a card game.

Who says a salad has to just be a side? Turn your salad into a meal by including these 4 key ingredients of a power salad, which will help you feel full longer.
1. Greens. Start with 1 to 2 cups of lettuce per serving. Combine different types to balance textures and flavors. Try tender, mild Boston lettuce with crisp romaine and bold escarole.
2. Vegetables. Add plenty of vegetables for crunch, flavor and color.
3. Protein. Add lean chicken, ham, turkey, fish or beans, which will help you feel full longer. Starches, such as potatoes, brown rice, whole-wheat croutons or whole-wheat pasta, add nutrients and staying power.

read full post »Roasting brings out sweet flavors, transforming even the most challenging-to-love vegetables, such as cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, or root vegetables, such as carrots, beets, parsnips and sweet potatoes, into something that can taste as sweet as candy.
Here are 3 Secrets to Perfectly Roasted Vegetables Every Time:
1. Make sure you cut the vegetables into equal-size pieces. That way they'll all cook at the same rate.
2. Spread the vegetables evenly on your baking sheet or roasting pan so they don't touch. Crowded vegetables just create extra moisture and steam in the pan. (When in doubt, use two pans.)
3. Stir once or twice while cooking so the vegetables get nicely browned on all sides.
read full post »Vegetables take center stage with a whole new taste when you stuff them with your favorite fillings. After all, if you want to eat the stuffing that's inside the vegetable, you'll be more likely to eat the vegetable it's stuffed in. For a satisfying meal, think peppers stuffed with orzo or eggplant filled with Thai-style shrimp and pork. The possibilities are exciting. To help you get started, check out these delicious options:

Stir-frying is one of the quickest and most versatile ways to make a fast dinner loaded with vegetables. This healthy high-heat method of searing meats and vegetables with just a little oil is usually associated with Asian cooking, but you can use plenty of other flavors as well. The core elements of any stir-fry are fresh veggies, a bit of protein, such as meat, poultry, seafood, tofu or nuts, a few staple spices and sauces. You can make them from what's in your kitchen: onions, frozen peas and chicken breasts? Sounds great! The combinations are endless.
Stir-fries make delicious one-dish main courses or you can even stir-fry your favorite vegetables for a great side dish (a terrific way to use up any leftover veggies in your refrigerator)....
read full post »Who knew the solution to overcooking dark leafy greens to make them palatable was actually not cooking them at all? It turns out there's an amazing tool for transforming bitter dark leafy greens into a tender, melts-in-your-mouth salad packed with punchy citrus, garlic and Parmesan. And it's only an arm's length away: your hands! A few minutes of judicious massaging (think Rolfing, not Reiki) will completely transform kale, mustard greens or broccoli rabe into something velvety and soft. The secret is in the squeezing: when you squeeze the greens you actually start to break down the cell walls, releasing enzymes that split apart the bitter-tasting compounds. That's great news for anyone who's wanted to enjoy these greens' amazing benefits (they're packed with dietary fiber and bone-healthy vitamin K) but couldn't learn to love the taste. Turns out that if you...

UK riots and restorative justice: A Northern Ireland perspective
from Janis Irving's comment on Restorative Justice International:
I am employed by the Youth Justice Agency of Northern Ireland as a youth conference co-ordinator. My job is to organise restorative conferences between young people (10-18) and victims. The conferences are 'ordered' by court or public prosecution (the latter means the young person does not recieve a criminal conviction if they work with the process).
At the conference the victim, young person, family and community meet to discuss what happened and agree an action plan for the young person. The action plan then goes back to the court or prosecution for final agreement and if they agree the young person must carry it out or be returned to court.

A role for restorative justice post-riots?
from the blog of Kerry McCarthy, Labour MP:
Last post for a while – well, for tonight anyway – on the riots. It occurs to me that this presents the best possible scenario for an absolute blitz on restorative justice, something which is often talked about in parliament and almost universally supported and praised, but never really implemented on the scale it could be.

Mayor of London's proposal for restorative justice after the riots
from the entry on CyberborisJohnson:
Our Mayor has suggested that restorative justice would be a good way of facing looters with the consequences of their actions. Speaking after this morning's COBRA meeting, the Mayor of London said that young people involved in last week's riots would lose their rights to things like free travel, but could earn them back through restorative justice programmes, like his Payback London scheme.

'Tear up the sentencing guidelines and jail EVERY looter': Crackdown on looters revealed
from Louise Boyle's article in the Mail Online:
Magistrates have been ordered to send all those involved in last week's riots and looting to jail, a court heard today.
Chair of the bench at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court, Novello Noades, revealed the instructions while sentencing one looter to six months in prison.
London courts had allegedly been emailed by a clerk within HM Courts and Tribunals Service, telling them to ignore normal guidelines which might have recommended non-custodial sentences for riot-related cases.

Catawba Valley Community College: Student Banned from Campus after Protesting College's Deal with Debit Card Company on Facebook
In June 2011, Catawba Valley Community College (CVCC) announced a partnership with the financial services company Higher One to provide debit cards to CVCC students. In response, CVCC student Marc Bechtol and other students criticized the partnership on CVCC's Facebook page. On September 28, Bechtol posted a critical message in which he joked, "I think we should register CVCC's address with every porn site known to man." One week later Bechtol was pulled out of his classroom and told not to return. On October 5, 2011, without a hearing, he was suspended for two semesters for violating the CVCC policy prohibiting any "offense which, in the opinion of the administration or faculty, may be contrary to the best interest of the CVCC community." FIRE has asked CVCC to immediately abandon its punishment of Bechtol and drop all disciplinary proceedings. Under national pressure from FIRE, CVCC abandoned its punishment of Bechtol but failed to acknowledge that the speech was protected.
- "Letter from CVCC Vice President of Student and Technology Services to Marc Bechtol, October 14, 2011," October 14, 2011: All charges against Marc Bechtol have been dropped and he is free to step foot on campus. Although this document from CVCC notes that Bechtol earlier had suggested that he might accept various forms of discipline in order to save his academic career after CVCC's unconstitutional punishment, Bechtol did not agree to any such discipline. He did not change his "seated" classes to online classes, and he has not been blocked from CVCC's social media. Problems remain: Bechtol is still required to notify the college before using computers on campus, CVCC has failed to revise the unconstitutional policy it used to punish him, and CVCC has not rescinded its claim that the Facebook comment was a policy violation.
- "Student Banned from Campus after Protesting College's Deal with Debit Card Company on Facebook," October 12, 2011: A North Carolina college student was pulled out of his classroom last week and banned from campus after he complained on Facebook about his school's aggressive marketing of a debit card company to its students. After officials at Catawba Valley Community College punished him for a satirical Facebook post deemed "contrary to the best interest of the CVCC community," Marc Bechtol came to FIRE for help.

Catawba Valley Community College administrators, Sam Houston State University professor Joe Kirk, and the Sam Houston State University police each earned their Muzzles by stifling student speech in shocking ways.

Bechtol was pulled out of his classroom last week, suspended for two semesters, and banned from campus without a hearing after he complained on Facebook about his school's aggressive marketing of a debit card company to its students. Despite CVCC's decision to rescind Bechtol's punishment, problems remain, as Bechtol is still required to notify the college before using computers on campus. CVCC also has failed to revise the unconstitutional policy it used to punish him and has not rescinded its claim that the Facebook comment was a policy violation. FIRE will continue to closely monitor free speech at CVCC.

In the past I've been put on androgel for low testosterone. but have since tested ok for normal levels of testosterone, which I am not sure what the doctor saw as normal. Didn't see the results. Today I got my blood drawn for testosterone testing. We'll see how that goes.
I am overweight, and have tried losing the weight but get estremely exhausted after working out for a few days afterward. I eat pretty good, my GF is a CNC, and feeds me right. I eat too much chocolate at night which is getting cut out.
I was thinking that the way I feel is how I felt before when my testosterone was low. and decided to do some supplements for this and to gain muscle and lose the belly fat.
The doctor wants me on high blood pressure meds, but I think if I lose the weight I will be ok.
Currently I am taking 200mg of DHEA a day, and have felt much better but still not quite there yet.
I stopped taking the DHEA for a week and started to feel even worse until I started taking it again.
Please give me some guidance, I have info overload being on this board as I have been reading none stop for 2 days straight.
my thoughts on supplements are here:
On top of my DHEA:
either 6-oxo (androstenetrione)
7-oxo (7-keto) DHEA metabolite?
and Formestane
I am not sure what all the abbreviations/acronyms said on here mean.
So I am wondering, what would you suggest? Is any of these banned or are they all still available? I see some are but is 6-oxo available?
can I buy it locally as I would like to start like..today. hahahaha
I am including some pictures. me at 34, 38 and 46. You'll see the regression.
I already have kids, she is snipped so no more kids. I need some energy and I feel like I am missing out on life and am not having the fun I feel I should with normal things like going to the zoo and such.
any help would be appreciated.
BTW my doc is a GP so he is probably not the man to talk to.

The Senate Appropriations Cmte. hears from Interior Department officials about FY2013 Budget requests for energy development programs. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) chairs the hearing.
Witnesses included Tommy Beaudreau, Director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), whose agency is requesting $164.1 million, a $3.3 million increase above the 2012 enacted level. Joining him was James Watson, Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), whose request is $222.2 million, a $24.8 million increase above the 2012 enacted level.
Much of the focus of the hearing was on off-shore drilling issues in the light of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf Coast. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement includes $3.7 million in base funding for the National Offshore Training and Learning Center, where federal inspectors are being trained.
In addition, the hearing looked at the environmental impact of "fraking," or hydraulic fracturing, and other technologies for retreiving gas and oil from underground reserves.
Robert Abbey, Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), also testifies.

text: Home eMed eMed Blog Understanding a venture capitalists process RSS Feed Link Understanding a venture capitalists process Posted by: Jane Levesque on August 16, 2012 When pursuing a venture capitalist for an investment, it's important to understand his or her process. Ann Winblad, co-founder and a Managing Director of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, has some advice for entrepreneurs when talking to venture capitalists. "As an entrepreneur, you need to ask as part of your first meeting, 'What is the process here? What happens next?'" Winblad says. She advises asking if a decision will be made right away or if your company will be in a stack of decisions that take weeks. You should also ask about their due diligence process. If the venture capitalist can't tell you their decision-making process, she says, "You probably should go find another venture capitalist. You really will be spending all of your energy during the pitch process and you need to know that there is a route to the money with the venture capitalist that you're pitching to." Winblad says entrepreneurs need to be a bit of a pest after that first meeting. If the venture capitalist has told you he will make a couple of calls in a week or talk things over with his partners by a certain day, he won't be offended by your followup. "Look at this as a sales process. You just pitched to a customer and you're trying to close them," she says. Follow up with an email or a call asking if the venture capitalist talked to his partners yet, or if there are issues that have come up, and ask if there is anything else you can provide. If the deal stalls, it's likely a "no," Winblad says, although you may not hear that word. "Venture capitalists don't like the word 'no'. We like entrepreneurs," she says. Many venture capitalists just never say "no," which can leave an entrepreneur wondering what's next. "What we tell entrepreneurs is we're going to give you a quick 'no' and a slow 'yes'," Winblad says. If they are working on a 'yes' answer, they will do due diligence, make sure their partners are behind it and keep the entrepreneur updated. "Don't be afraid of the word 'no.' You'd rather get a real 'no' than a nothing and go on to the next investor," she says.10 Comments No Comments to Display Add a Comment Name: Email: Comment: Submit
