Bloch oscillations are coherent oscillations of the position of electrons (and therefore also of the electric current) inside energy bands of a crystal under an applied constant electric field. Their frequency is proportional to the lattice constant and to the field and therefore can be tuned by an applied voltage. Damped Bloch oscillations have been observed by optical means in undoped semiconductor superlattices which are artificial crystal structures formed by growing a succession of equal periods comprising layers of at least two different semiconductors. We model Bloch oscillations in a doped superlattice by using Boltzmann‐Poisson equations and derive hydrodynamic equations for the electron, current and energy densities. For a superlattice with long scattering times, we show that the damping of Bloch oscillations is so small that nonlinearities may compensate it and provide stable oscillations of the current and energy densities. In this case, numerical solutions show that there are stable Bloch oscillations spatially confined to part of the superlattice, thereby having inhomogeneous field, charge, current density and energy density profiles. These Bloch oscillations disappear as scattering times become sufficiently short.

Although this book could have been great, the author seemed to enjoy adding sexual details and poorly disguised cursing. It reminded me of a good stand up comic who throws in bathroom humor out of habit or to satisfy the management. This book will go in the trash, not the share with a friend pile.

When I found this book in a used book store, it was a "must read. The dust jacket is unique in that a boat appears to be floating on the top edge of the jacket. This particular boat is revealed to be Noah's ark, as he is the preservationist to whom the title refers. Seeing Noah as a preservationist is so obvious that I had not considered that of him as I had seen him as "only" a righteous man who obediently followed the commands given him by his God. Mr. Maine does not discount Noah's faithfulness; rather his treatment of this story only deepens the truths revealed in this familiar Old Testament story.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Told in three parts and from the points-of-view of the members of Noah's family, this common story unfolds as new. Mr. Maine uses an obscure edition of the Bible for spelling, seeing the names so acquainted with this story spelled in unfamiliar way helps to make the story "new." Beginning shortly after Noah receives the command to build an ark, the book is revealed in a steady, even pace, allowing the reader to experience more closely how this event had to have "occurred."
How Noah's wife, sons and his daughters-in-law responded to this strange event is very human. Each is heard responding to their respective roles and are seen evolving as their world, literally, is remade. Noah's wife, who is 540 years his junior, is seen as steady, faithful and hardworking but is never given a name in this story. Sem, the eldest son, is rock steady, mirrors his father's following of Yahweh but seems to have little concept of a Self outside of his familial home. Cham, the second son, is the boat-builder and "prodigal," who returns home because he is compelled to do so. Japheth, the youngest, whose response to the situation reflects his birth order and his age (about 15 when the rain starts). The daughters-in-law are put in charge of gathering the animals while the men build the ark. The faithful acts of these women are rewarded with profound success; this is remarkable in that their faith was in obedience to Noah's direction, not necessarily to Noah's God.
The book addressed questions raised should one ever deeply ponder this story. The answers will satisfy some, enrage others but each incident is feasible. The ten months spent on a boat with the world's largest (and first) animal menagerie and in constant, CLOSE, contact with everyone else on the vessel is seen to be as horrendous as imagined. Conversations about Yahweh's destruction of a world he created are treated realistically – can Yahweh be trusted to care for Creation – Yahweh will always decide what is best – Yahweh will provide what is needed to complete what Yahweh commands – are all points of conversation somewhere in the years around the Flood. The concern parents have around how to raise children who will leave to become productive members of society while hoping the relationship will be strong enough for those children to return to visit their aged parents, not letting them die alone and forsaken is addressed in as personal way as possible. The question of "What will 'the next generation' do with the world when it is their turn to create it in line with their dreams?" is reduced to its barest answer within the pages of the book.
Mr. Maine writes the book "as if" it is a historical event. This is not a theological treatise, a book of history, nor is it a sociological reflection yet each of those issues enfolded within this work. . -

Surprisingly good
Okay, I'm not generally a fan of the "let's retell an old story" style of writing, but this was really really good. Funny, for one thing, but also moving in places (after all, the whole dies, almost). There's a little sex and grit which were a surprise at first until you think, well, it's about the end of the world, right? And its repopulation. So a little sex and grit makes some sense. My only criticism is that I wish it were longer, but tha's not really a criticism, so, 5 stars!

An unbelievably great book
I was a little hesitant to read this book, even though it was recommended by a friend who¿s a Christian, and has great taste in books. I wondered what more anyone could possibly say about one of my all-time favorite stories: Noah¿s Ark. Turns out I didn¿t have to worry at all. David Maine takes all of the characters in this familiar story and makes them REAL. From Noah (who Maine calls Noe) to his three sons Sem, Cham and Japheth (whom you might know as Shem, Ham, and Japheth from a different printing of the Bible than Maine used), the author gives each of the men in the story a distinct personality. But where this book really shines is in David Maine¿s portrayal of the women of the story. If it¿s true that behind every great man there stands a great woman, then Noe¿s wife, and his three daughters-in-law Bera, Ilya, and Mirn (whose names Maine invents) are four of the greatest women in history. I could gush on and on about this book¿about how the author amplifies and illuminates the story in the Bible at every turn, but I won¿t. I¿ll just say you have to read it and discover the joy for yourself. If you liked The Red Tent, you¿ll love The Preservationist¿and the great thing about The Preservationist is that your husband or boyfriend will love it too.

Just read it!
In The Preservationist, David Maine takes one of the Old Testament's most fanciful, seemingly allegorical episodes and brings it kicking and bleating to life. Maine revisits the story of Noah's ark and dares to fill in the gaps, rendering the logistics of Noah's (or Noe's) feat surprisingly credible while grounding the narrative in fresh, earthy detail. What ultimately makes this novel more than a precarious literary stunt, though, are Maine's deft characterizations--the women, in particular, inject the tale with sly resourcefulness and dry wit. The Preservationist is darkly funny and often irreverent, but its timely themes (which address faith, family and the very meaning of life) pack a deceptively powerful punch.

Overall this is a great shade. Thin and quality built. It's easy to fold out and because of the stiffness it doesn't sag. Cut to the size of the windshield so no overlap. Only minor thing is it could have been cut a little bit closer around the rear view mirror. Definitely a quality product and above those flimsy Wally World brands.

text: The following text may be printed, copy/pasted, or downloaded and emailed. Guantánamo Bay: Female interrogators' tactics aired Paisley Dodds Associated Press January 28, 2005 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Female interrogators tried to break Muslim detainees at the U.S. prison camp at Guantánamo Bay by sexual touching, wearing a miniskirt and thong underwear and in one case smearing a Saudi man's face with fake menstrual blood, according to an insider's written account. A draft manuscript obtained by The Associated Press is classified as secret pending a Pentagon review for a planned book that details ways the U.S. military used women as part of tougher physical and psychological interrogation tactics to get terror suspects to talk. "I have really struggled with this because the detainees, their families and much of the world will think this is a religious war based on some of the techniques used, even though it is not the case," the author, former Army Sgt. Erik R. Saar, 29, told AP. Saar didn't provide the manuscript or approach AP, but confirmed the authenticity of nine draft pages AP obtained. Saar, who is neither Muslim nor of Arab descent, worked as an Arabic translator at the U.S. camp in eastern Cuba from December 2002 to June 2003. At the time, it was under the command of Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, who had a mandate to get better intelligence from prisoners, including alleged al-Qaida members caught in Afghanistan. Saar said he witnessed about 20 interrogations and about three months after his arrival at the remote U.S. base he started noticing "disturbing" practices. One female civilian contractor used a special outfit that included a miniskirt and thong underwear during late-night interrogations with prisoners, mostly Muslim men who consider it taboo to have close contact with women who aren't their wives. Some Guantánamo prisoners who have been released say they were tormented by "prostitutes." In one case, Saar describes a female military interrogator questioning an uncooperative 21-year- old Saudi detainee who allegedly had taken flying lessons in Arizona before the Sept. 11 terror attacks. One suspected Sept. 11 hijacker, Hani Hanjour, had received pilot instruction in 1996 and 1997 at a flight school in Scottsdale, Ariz. "His female interrogator decided that she needed to turn up the heat," Saar writes, saying she repeatedly asked the detainee who had sent him to Arizona, telling him he could "cooperate" or "have no hope whatsoever of ever leaving this place or talking to a lawyer."' The man closed his eyes and began to pray, Saar writes. The female interrogator wanted to "break him," Saar adds, describing how she removed her uniform top to expose a tight-fitting T-shirt and began taunting the detainee, touching her breasts, rubbing them against the prisoner's back and commenting on his apparent erection. The detainee looked up and spat in her face, the manuscript recounts. The interrogator left the room to ask a Muslim linguist how she could break the prisoner's reliance on God. The linguist told her to tell the detainee that she was menstruating, touch him, then make sure to turn off the water in his cell so he couldn't wash. Strict interpretation of Islamic law forbids physical contact with women other than a man's wife or family, and with any menstruating women, who are considered unclean. "The concept was to make the detainee feel that after talking to her he was unclean and was unable to go before his God in prayer and gain strength," says the draft. The interrogator used ink from a red pen to fool the detainee, Saar writes. She put her hands in her pants and the detainee then saw what appeared to be red blood on her hand, he says. "She said, 'Who sent you to Arizona?' He then glared at her with a piercing look of hatred. "She then wiped the red ink on his face. He shouted at the top of his lungs, spat at her and lunged forward" — so fiercely that he broke loose from one ankle shackle. "He began to cry like a baby," the draft says, noting the interrogator left saying, "Have a fun night in your cell without any water to clean yourself." Events Saar describes are similar to two previous reports of abusive female interrogation tactics, although it wasn't possible to independently verify his account. In November, in response to an AP request, the military described an April 2003 incident in which a female interrogator took off her uniform top, ran her fingers through a detainee's hair and sat on his lap. That session was immediately ended by a supervisor and that interrogator received a written reprimand and additional training, the military said. In another incident, the military reported that in early 2003 a different female interrogator "wiped dye from red magic marker on detainees' shirt after detainee spit on her," telling the detainee it was blood. She was verbally reprimanded, the military said. Sexual tactics used by female interrogators have been criticized by the FBI, which complained in a letter obtained by AP last month that U.S. defense officials hadn't acted on complaints by FBI observers of "highly aggressive" interrogation techniques, including one in which a female interrogator grabbed a detainee's genitals. About 20 percent of the guards at Guantánamo are women, said Lt. Col. James Marshall, a spokesman for U.S. Southern Command. He wouldn't say how many of the interrogators were female. "U.S. forces treat all detainees and conduct all interrogations, wherever they may occur, humanely and consistent with U.S. legal obligations, and in particular with legal obligations prohibiting torture," Marshall said late Wednesday. The book, which Saar titled "Inside the Wire," is due out this year with Penguin Press.

ACC Celebrates Heart Month Each February, Heart Month provides an important opportunity to raise awareness about heart disease – the leading cause of death around the world. This year, the ACC is using Heart Month to provide cardiovascular professionals and the patients they serve with tools and resources to help prevent, or at the very least minimize, major cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and smoking. The College, along with the American Diabetes Association (ADA), hosted a Twitter Chat on Feb. 3 to kick off the month. You can see the archived tweets by following @CardioSmart or searching for the #DiabetesHeart hashtag. The month is full of other activities like guest blog posts, release of a sugar intake infographic, collaborations with partners to raise awareness of disease states, and of course, the annual winner announcement of the "I Am CardioSmart" contest. Learn about all of this and more on the ACC in Touch Blog.

Write to Your Legislators in the 114th Congress The 114th Congress has convened in Washington, DC, and the ACC needs your help with education and outreach! With a number of new lawmakers and a shift in power in the Senate, now is a crucial time for ACC members to educate policymakers about the impact their decisions have on patients, providers and practices. Clinicians are able to offer unique, patient-provider expertise at a time when the future of medicine is being debated. Our members are critical components of our congressional grassroots efforts. The ACC's key priorities for 2015 are to:
HHS Establishes Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network Highlighting a need to continue improving the quality of care Medicare beneficiaries receive while reducing the growth of health care costs, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced the establishment of a Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network of stakeholders to align work across sectors. The Network will seek to help the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) meet its goals of making 30 percent of fee-for-service payments through alternative payment models and population-based payments by the end of 2016 and 50 percent by the end of 2018. This is another in a series of efforts to pay providers for value rather than volume. ACC members already interact with many of the programs cited as examples of improvements to the delivery system. "The Department of Health and Human Services' plan to move Medicare from a volume-based system to a value-based system is an important one and aligns with the ACC's goal to transform care for patients," said ACC President Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC. "The creation of an Action Network, announced by Secretary Sylvia Burwell, has the potential to be an exciting and encouraging step." Your ACC looks forward to continuing to find ways for members to succeed in an evolving payment environment by providing high-quality care that can align with these programmatic goals.
EHR Incentive Program Changes in the Works CMS recently announced that it intends to update the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Programs through the rulemaking process beginning this year. Feedback from health care organizations and stakeholders, including the ACC, was instrumental in CMS' decision to consider shortening the 2015 reporting period to 90 days, realigning hospital reporting periods to the calendar year and modifying other aspects of the program. CMS noted that these proposed changes align with HHS' commitment to fostering a health information technology infrastructure that elevates patient-centered care, improves health outcomes and supports the providers who care for patients. Reps. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Ron Kind (D-WI) deserve recognition for clearly listening to physician constituents and encouraging CMS to make this important change. This initiative is separate and distinct from the widely anticipated proposed Stage 3 rule that is also expected this spring.
ACC Member Selected for FDA Post The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently named Robert Califf, MD, MACC, as the FDA Deputy Commissioner for Medical Products and Tobacco. Califf, who is currently the vice chancellor of clinical and translational research at Duke University, will join the FDA in February. "The ACC is proud to see such a distinguished member of our organization called into service by the FDA to help ensure that public health and safety remain national priorities," said ACC President Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC. "Dr. Califf will oversee policy initiatives related to precision medicine, the approval of new therapies – including drugs and devices, preventative medicine and the regulation of tobacco products. He will play a vital role in fostering innovation in public health while protecting public safety by serving as a bridge between medical professionals and the FDA."
A First Look at 21st Century Cures Proposals The House Energy and Commerce Committee recently released a 400 page draft of a proposal that would, if enacted, streamline the FDA's regulatory process, modernizing clinical trials and medical product regulation, and support the development of innovative cures. The "21st Century Cures" discussion document is the result several months of hearings, including one at which ACC President Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC, shared cardiology's perspective on personalized medicine. Your ACC is carefully reviewing the document and consulting with members to determine the strengths and weaknesses of proposals, especially those that might impact registries, cardiovascular devices or other cardiology-related items. The College is in close communication with Committee staff and will prepare comments on the draft, which is the first step in the legislative process. Input and grassroots advocacy from ACC members will be key as Congress moves forward.
Registry Briefing on Capitol Hill on Feb. 11 On Feb. 11, the ACC will host briefings for House and Senate leaders on how the NCDR is fostering innovation and improving care. Ralph G. Brindis, MD, MPH, MACC, will brief congressional leaders on ways in which NCDR is leading the way for clinical data and discuss the critical role registries are playing in the ever-changing health care landscape. Stay tuned to ACC.org and ACCinTouch Blog for full coverage.
Thriving in a Time of Change: CV Summit Recap The future of health care reform was explored during last week's Cardiovascular Summit, where Paul H. Keckley, PhD, managing director of Navigant Healthcare, walked through how recent legislative activity – from the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act to the Physician Payments Sunshine Act – has shaped a "new normal" for physicians. According to Keckley, cardiology is faced with increased competition for solutions, innovation and approaches; increased transparency; new value expectations from payers and consumers; and expanded opportunities for influence and business growth. While there is an abundance of uncertainty in this new era of health care, he stressed that "there's no going back" and health care professionals must adapt. The Summit armed hundreds of cardiologists, cardiovascular administrators, nurses and other cardiovascular professionals with value-based care strategies and tactics, tools for optimizing health care data, and effective leadership skills to help them thrive in this new era of health care. Read more about the Summit on the ACC in Touch Blog.
FDA Update The Food and Drug Administration has approved the Protégé GPS Self-Expanding Peripheral Stent System, an implantable stent that delivers blood to the iliac arteries; the Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve, an artificial heart valve made from the jugular vein valve of a cow; Prestalia, a fixed-dose combination of perindopril arginine and amlodipine; and the Impella Right Percutaneous System for patients with right ventricular heart failure or decompensation. The FDA also announced it will strengthen its review process of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in order to improve the devices' quality and reliability. The applications for AEDs will be examined a under more rigorous manner to ensure the necessary accessories and the devices themselves are ready to market.
ACC Weighs in on GME In order to understand the graduate medical education (GME) crisis and its impact on U.S. health care, the House Energy and Commerce Committee asked stakeholders, including the ACC, to provide feedback on the current GME situation and the future of medical training. In a letter to the Committee, the ACC stressed that attention must be given to multi-disciplinary management of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, that cross multiple medical specialties. Additionally, health care delivery systems and regional and population-based needs should be evaluated. The College noted that cutting-edge training for America's health care workforce is necessary given the complex diagnostic and management algorithms needed to combat cardiovascular disease and related conditions. Furthermore, there must be adequate funding for academic teaching hospitals in order to ensure the continuation of the critical services they provide, especially to vulnerable populations. Training for outpatient and preventative care services is also crucial. Read more.
ACC President Comments on State of the Union In his State of the Union address, President Obama called on the nation to lead a 'new era of medicine' and announced the Precision Medicine Initiative. "Incredible advances have already been made in cardiovascular research and I hope initiatives like this will lead to even more important discoveries, treatments, and cures that can be directed to patients more quickly," said ACC President Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC, in a statement. "The promise of precision medicine is within our grasp." Last year, O'Gara provided cardiology's perspective on personalized medicine during a 21st Century Cures panel hosted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Action in the States Michigan Governor Rick Snyder in January vetoed three electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) bills that he felt did not go far enough to regulate the devices. If enacted, Michigan's legislation would have deviated from the advice of 40 state attorneys general, including Michigan's, who are supportive of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation. "We need to make sure that e-cigarettes and other nicotine-containing devices are regulated in the best interest of public health," Snyder said in response to his decision. "It's important that these devices be treated like tobacco products and help people become aware of the dangers e-cigarettes pose." ACC's Michigan Chapter supported the governor's action. While the FDA does not currently have regulatory authority over e-cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels, waterpipe (or hookah) tobacco and dissolvables, the Agency is expected to issue a final regulation this year that would allow it to do so. The College and a number of ACC chapters called on the FDA to strictly regulate e-cigarettes and other tobacco products last summer.
Advocacy – An Individual Right and a Professional Responsibility In a recent post on the ACC in Touch Blog, Richard Chazal, MD, FACC, vice president of the ACC, explores professional responsibility to advocacy and the ACC's most recent efforts in health policy. "The ACC's long-term advocacy focus has been, and continues to be on the ultimate wellbeing of patients, both in the U.S. and around the globe. One need only look at some of the College's recent efforts to make this point: advocacy for funding for cardiovascular research; advocacy for the use of scientific registries for quality improvement; advocacy for pulse ox legislation and smoke-free laws. The list goes on. Expansion of work into the international sphere is also underway. The College has played an integral role in global policy efforts to battle non-communicable diseases and is working with partner societies and ACC International Chapters around the globe to support policies aimed at improving heart health and reducing cardiovascular mortality." Read more on the ACC in Touch Blog.
Coding Corner To help physicians avoid fraud and abuse, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has revised a web-based training course designed to provide education on the federal laws that combat fraud and abuse. The "Medicare Secondary Payer for Providers, Physicians, Other Suppliers, and Billing Staff" Fact Sheet, which provides education on the Medicare Secondary Payer provisions, has also been revised.

JACC Leadership Page: The ACC's Renewed Commitment to Medical Professionalism In a recent Leadership Page in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, ACC President Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, FACC, along with Debra L. Ness, MS, and John Gordon Harold, MD, MACC, provide an overview of the Physician Charter on Medical Professionalism that was recently endorsed by the ACC's Board of Trustees. The Charter underscores that professionalism is the basis of medicine's contract with society and lays out several fundamental principles, as well as a set of professional responsibilities for physicians to adhere to. Given the challenges facing the practice of medicine and the specialty of cardiology, the authors write: "What better time than the present to pause and review the fundamental principles by which we all aspire to conduct ourselves?" Read more in the Leadership page.
JACC Leadership Page Calls for United Effort to End Tobacco Use in U.S. In a Leadership Page in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, ACC CEO Shalom Jacobovitz calls for colleagues, partners and leaders in the health care industry to stand together and put an end to tobacco use in America. "Unfortunately, despite increased taxation on tobacco products and smoke-free legislation, cigarettes are still used by more than 42 million adult Americans, and the burden on health care systems is heavy," writes Jacobovitz. Through efforts like the ACC's CardioSmart program, a partnership with the Million Hearts initiative and participation in the Non-Communicable Diseases Alliance, the ACC is focusing on prevention as part of an overarching commitment to population health. Read more.
JACC Leadership Page: The Value of ACC Membership In a previous Leadership Page in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, ACC CEO Shalom Jacobovitz discusses the College's focus on increasing the value of ACC membership in the changing health care landscape.

Aircraft Engine Coating Could Triple Service Life and Save Fuel
Tuesday, 22 April 2014
Researchers at University West in Sweden are using nanoparticles in the heat-insulating surface layer that protects aircraft engines from heat. In tests, this increased the service life of the coating by 300%. The hope is that motors with the new layers will be in production within two years. The surface layer is sprayed on top of the metal components. Thanks to this extra layer, the engine is shielded from heat. The temperature can also be raised, which leads to increased efficiency, reduced emissions, and decreased fuel consumption.

Engineers Develop 'Simple' Robotic Swarms
Friday, 18 April 2014
University of Sheffield engineers have developed a way of making hundreds — or even thousands — of tiny robots cluster to carry out tasks. The robots do not require memory or processing power. Each robot uses just one sensor that indicates the presence of another nearby robot. Based on the sensor's findings, the robots will either rotate on the spot, or move around in a circle until one can be seen.Until now, robotic swarms have required complex programming, complicating the development of miniaturized, individual robots. With the programming created by the Sheffield team, however, nanoscale machines are possible.SourceAlso: Learn about a Kinematic Calibration Process for Flight Robotic Arms.

Mini Science Lab Detects Multiple Bio Agents
Thursday, 03 April 2014
It can cost hundreds of dollars and days to scan biological materials for important biomarkers that signal diseases such as diabetes or cancer using industry standard equipment. Researchers face enormous time constraints and financial hurdles from having to run these analyses on a regular basis. A Northeastern University professor has developed a single instrument that can do multiple scans at a fraction of the time and cost. That's because it uses considerably less material and ultra-sensitive detection methods to do the same thing.
ScanDrop is a portable instrument no bigger than a shoebox that has the capacity to detect a variety of biological specimen. For that reason it will benefit a wide range of users beyond the medical community, including environmental monitoring and basic scientific research.
The instrument acts as a miniature science lab, of sorts. It contains a tiny chip, made of polymer or glass, connected to equally tiny tubes. An extremely small-volume liquid sample — whether it's water or a biological fluid such as serum — flows in one of those tubes, through the lab-on-a-chip device, and out the other side. While inside, the sample is exposed to a slug of microscopic beads functionalized to react with the lab test's search parameters. The beads fluoresce when the specific marker or cell in question has been detected; from there, an analysis by ScanDrop can provide the concentration levels of that marker or cell.
Because the volumes being tested with ScanDrop are so small, the testing time dwindles to just minutes. This means you could get near-real time measures of a changing sample — be it bacteria levels in a flowing body of water or dynamic insulin levels in the bloodstream of a person with diabetes.

Driving Simulator Helps Engineers Calculate Human Factor
Monday, 31 March 2014
Simulations are an important development tool in the automobile and utility vehicle. The properties of vehicle components, such as how they respond in an accident, their reliability, or their energy efficiency can be investigated using simulations before the first component is manufactured. Researchers developed an interactive driving simulator using RODOS (robot-based driving and operation simulator) with which realistic interaction between human and vehicle can be analyzed.

Moving Magnet Voice Coil Actuators Offer Controllable Movement for High-Duty-Cycle Applications
Saturday, 01 February 2014
There are two types of voice coil actuators: moving coil and moving magnet. The materials of construction are similar, since they both use rare earth magnets, steel, copper wire, and basic insulation materials. There is a tendency to want to say one type is better suited for certain applications; however, there are many different sizes and shapes of voice coil actuators, making it difficult to make blanket statements about which type of actuator works better, and where.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.13 / 5.00 4,673 ViewsAn entertaining presentation about the Philosophy of Liberty. A Spanish-language version can also be viewed under my Other Submissions.
you rule
First serious short form i encountered on NG
Beautifull, but so utopian idea...
Very good!
I like that such an important message was put so simply and easy to understand. If only everybody understood what Liberty was really about, maybe the world today would be a very different place. Great job!
certainly a substantial submission, it just lacks justification of the provided theses all along, although some may think that the propositions dealt with are self-evident, they arent at a closer look. the one attempt to actually argue i can recall may be considered a bit unsound because logically it cant be admissible to state a reason thats not already shown to be consistent: if you say your explanations describe a model of life thats "more ethical" i suppose you use that attribute as synonymic with virtuous, at least i dont know how to separate them according to a definition cause one cant succeed in trying to define one of those terms, at least that much is secured regarding their meaning- anyways you say that the idea of mutual consent is the one to choose to acquire a society based on virtue, so i think it doesnt make sense to justify the moral value of your ideas at hand of that moral value itself. moreover a truly democratic and humanitarian society cant be the most practical one if practical is understood as well-functioning and purposeful, which i also claim without further reasons cause id probably be seen as someone who advocates oppression (to give a hint) O.O

I used the meat from a pork shoulder for carnitas--now I have a bone with a fair amount of meat on it left. What should I do with it?
Pork bones are a wonderful addition to a chicken broth. My mother always used chicken and pork bones when making the broth for wonton soup, or any egg noodle soup recipe. She says that pork bones add a lovely sweetness to the broth.
@HalfPint - Great idea about the wonton broth? Besides chicken and pork bones, anything else to add? I've been on a quest to perfect wonton suit that I remember fondly growing up. When I'm getting sick or already ill its my go-to.
@sexyLAMBCHOPX, I remember that she gently simmered the bones and an onion in water, skimming the scum off as needed. Don't let it boil or the broth gets cloudy which for a cook like my mother was a ruined broth. After a couple of hours, she seasoned with salt and little sugar. That was about it.
I'm glad to see "use the whole animal" in your tags. Definitely use that bone for stock for any braised pork recipe. Please also put the ears and trotters to use as well if you have those handy. One specific use would be to make carnitas where you would braise the shoulder in stock and finish it in its own fat (lard). It's piglicious.
Please enter a quantity larger than 0. | ||
Sorry, this item is currently out of stock.
Notify me when it's back. Submit Thanks! We'll email you when it's available again. |

The Icelandic Phallological Museum, in the fishing village of Húsavik in Iceland, is a museum devoted to penises. It was set up in 1997. Till date, it has 276 penises, taken from 46 animal species. These include 55 specimens from whales, one of which is 67 inches long. There are also 36 penises from seals and 118 from land mammals. The only thing missing was a human penis. Recently, the curator of the museum, Sigurdur Hjartarson, made an announcement that at long last the museum had acquired a human penis. Our collection is finally complete, he told the press. He also told the media how the penis was acquired. When the museum opened, Pall Arason offered to donate his penis. He liked to be provocative, he was a boaster, and because he was over 80, I figured we wouldnt have to wait long. But I had to wait almost fifteen years; he lived to be 95 and died last January. A doctor was asked to separate the organ from the body. Hjartarson also asserted, Why should it be any more remarkable to donate a penis than to donate a kidney?
We in India have a reverent attitude towards the human phallus. It is looked upon as a symbol of creation. There are stone replicas of phallic symbols in many temples, and we worship them as we worship other gods.
I found out about Icelands phallic museum from the recent issue of Private Eye, which quotes the spring 2011 issue of the Iceland Review.
Way with words
Jyotika Sikand was working with the Israeli embassy in Delhi when she converted to Judaism. I met her a couple of times when my son was in Delhi. For reasons known only to her, she gifted me seven important books that are not available in book stores. The books were worth their weight in gold. One of them is a selection of poems published in a Mumbai magazine called the Onlooker. The poems were penned by men serving in the army, navy or the air force. Some are also written by their wives. The poetry is not excellent, but is still highly readable. I quote one on the monsoon composed by someone named Slib:
The monsoon comes, bright gleams the leaves, The rain is dripping through the trees; And every bird and tree, and flower Thanks God for each life-giving shower The monsoon comes; all nature wakes The parched earth its fierce thirst slakes, And starving cattle graze their fill Of sweet, green grass over plain and hill. The monsoon comes and mosquitos hum, They gorge your blood in swarms they come; Cockroaches scamper on the spree And moths let up your pedigree.
Powers of deduction
A beggar knocked on the door of a hotel called Lama & Dragon, in a Himalayan kingdom. A woman opened the door. Could I have a bite to eat? he said.
No, screamed the woman and slammed the door.
The beggar knocked again, and the woman opened the door with a sour face. He said very politely, I guess youre Mrs Dragon. Now, could I have few words with Mr Lama?
Prison break
A man applied for the job of a prison guard. The head jailer said, Now the guys in here are real rough. Do you think you can handle it? No problem, replied the applicant, if they dont behave, out they go!

Subtle difference
Santa: Bhaji, is there any difference between complete and finished?
Banta: Yes, when you marry, the right one, you are complete and when you marry the wrong one, you are finished. When the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are completely finished.

Location: UCL
Digital Pedagogies is a free unconference which brings together people in e-learning and digital humanities to discuss the development of digital pedagogies in university teaching.
An unconference is a delegate-driven meeting with the agenda created by the attendees on the day.
Digital pedagogies are innovative methods of teaching, using ICT tools to facilitate and foster high-quality digital learning experiences. This event addresses questions of how teaching techniques can be modified and digitally enhanced to meet the challenges of virtual learning. It brings together people in e-learning and digital humanities, who often share similar research objectives, and offers opportunities to discuss current digital teaching techniques and to define areas for improvement and enhancement.
There is an open call for sessions on the topic of enhancing and developing digital pedagogies in any field of research, but spaces are limited so early attendance on the day is recommended.
To propose a session, please state in a few sentences why you want to come to the Digital Pedagogies unconference. You should indicate what task you want to accomplish, what problem you want to solve, what new perspective you want to understand, what issue you want to discuss, or what skill you want to learn. However: paper proposals are strongly discouraged! The unconference is for working and talking with others, not for presenting to a silent audience.
This unconference is hosted by the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities in partnership with the Higher Education Academy.
Attendance is free but this event requires registration.

PoliticsBritish official resigns over lobby scheme Video shows the David Cameron's co-treasurer offering exclusive access to the PM for donations of $400,000. 25 Mar 2012 03:17 GMT | Politics, Europe A senior member of David Cameron's Conservative party has resigned after he reportedly offered access to the British prime minister for donations of $400,000 (250,000 pounds) per year. The Sunday Times newspaper released secretly recorded video footage of what it said was the centre-right party's co-treasurer Peter Cruddas making the offer to undercover reporters. In a statement on Saturday shortly after the allegations were published, Cruddas said his comments to the reporters were "bluster" but added that he had resigned from his position. "I deeply regret any impression of impropriety arising from my bluster in that conversation. Clearly there is no question of donors being able to influence policy or gain undue access to politicians," he said. "Specifically, it was categorically not the case that I could offer, or that David Cameron would consider, any access as a result of a donation. "But in order to make that clear beyond doubt, I have regrettably decided to resign with immediate effect." 'Premier league' In the footage, Cruddas is seen discussing different sized donations and saying that $400,000 and more was "premier league", granting access to Cameron and his finance minister George Osborne. "When we talk about your donations the first thing we want to do is get you out to Cameron and Osborne dinners," he says in the recording. "You do really pick up a lot of information, and when you see the prime minister, you're seeing David Cameron - you're not seeing the prime minister... "But within that room everything's confidential and you will be able to ask him practically any questions that you want." A Conservative Party spokesperson had earlier said that "no donation was ever accepted or even formally considered by the Conservative Party." The Conservative-led coalition government is facing a backlash after a budget last week that cut tax for top earners while freezing tax allowances for pensioners. The Conservatives lead a 22-month-old coalition government with the centrist Liberal Democrat party. In 2010, Cameron promised curbs on Britain's lobbying industry if he came to power, saying that lobbying was the "next big political scandal waiting to happen."Source: Agencies
