AUSMIN - Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations
Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations 1998 Joint Communiqué
Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations 1998 Joint Communiqué
1. The Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer, and the
Minister for Defence, Ian McLachlan, the United States Secretary of State,
Madeleine Albright, and Secretary of Defence, William Cohen, met in Sydney
on 30-31 July 1998 to advance further the Australia-U.S. alliance relationship,
and to discuss regional and global issues.
2. Australia and the United States noted that the depth and maturity of the
relationship and the scope of their common agenda underlined the enduring
value and importance of these consultations. They welcomed the opportunity
to exchange views and assessments, and to consider ways of advancing their
common interest in global and regional peace and prosperity, and in the development
of the bilateral relationship. Australia expressed support for continued,
comprehensive U.S. engagement in the Asia Pacific which provides the underpinning
for the security and stability of the region and its return to prosperity.
The United States welcomed the important contribution that Australia's wide-ranging
engagement in the Asia Pacific continues to make to regional security and
stability. Ministers reaffirmed their strong commitment to the 1996 Sydney
Statement, observing that events over the past year had confirmed once again
the special quality of the partnership between the two countries.
3. Ministers focused particularly on two developments with important implications
for regional and global stability and security:
- First, developments in the Asia Pacific, with particular emphasis on
the Asian financial crisis, including measures to enhance Australia-U.S.
cooperation to promote a secure and prosperous region; and
- Second, events in South Asia, with particular emphasis on the ramifications
of India's and Pakistan's nuclear test explosions, and the crucial importance
of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) as two global pillars of
the international nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime.
4. With profound economic, political and strategic changes underway in the
Asia Pacific region, Australia and the United States emphasised the importance
of practical and well-focused bilateral, regional and global cooperation in
helping the Asia Pacific to meet current and emerging difficulties. The Asian
financial crisis continues to pose major challenges for affected regional
countries, with wider implications for the Asia Pacific and globally. The
two governments expressed confidence that the fundamental regional strengths
which had generated prosperity and stability in the Asia Pacific would provide
the basis for regional recovery over the longer term.
5. Sound macroeconomic policies, stronger and more transparent financial
systems, structural reform and more open markets are the key to restoring
financial stability and confidence in the economic health of countries affected
by the financial crisis. Implementation of economic reform programs supported
by the international financial institutions will continue to have a central
role in helping to restore financial and monetary stability in the region,
and in alleviating the wider social impact of the crisis. The two governments
underlined the importance of social policies which address the burden of the
economic adjustment on the poor and most vulnerable members of affected countries. Australia and the United States expressed strong support for the continued
leadership shown by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank
and the Asian Development Bank, in mobilising financial and other assistance
for countries affected by the crisis. Both governments expressed their support
for the on-going efforts of international financial institutions to tailor
their assistance programs to meet the needs of individual countries. Australia
and the United States recognised the important role played by APEC in responding
to the crisis, including in holding the line on free trade and in endorsing
the Manila Framework, which facilitates bilateral assistance to those countries
in the region requiring balance of payments support, as well as the work arising
from the Special Meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors held
in Washington in April 1998.
6. Australia and the United States agreed that international assistance to
support economic reform should continue to be based on progress in implementing
economic adjustment goals. Australia strongly supported the efforts
of the U.S. administration to obtain Congressional approval for contributing
to the IMF's Eleventh General Quota Increase. The United States welcomed Australia's
contribution to the management of the international response to the economic
crisis, and its role as a source of support to countries affected by the economic
downturn. The two governments praised Thailand and the Republic of
Korea on the progress made thus far in stabilising their economies and implementing
appropriate financial sector reforms.
7. Recent events have underscored the significant influence which Indonesia
has on the stability, security and prosperity of South East Asia and the wider
region. Australia and the United States emphasised their conviction that Indonesia
was in transition to a new era and both sides expressed strong support for
the Indonesian Government's commitment to political reform and the staging
of early elections consistent with the aspirations of all Indonesians. Both sides urged all parties in Indonesia to continue to give priority
to an orderly and peaceful transition. The two governments expressed
their common resolve to continue to help Indonesia overcome its pressing economic
difficulties, including increased humanitarian assistance, as Indonesia proceeds
with its commitment to implementing economic reform in close cooperation with
the IMF. Both governments urged all parties to exercise utmost restraint in
pursuit of a lasting solution to the future of East Timor.
8. Strong and confident bilateral and regional relationships are the foundation
of the Asia Pacific's efforts to manage the financial crisis and its wider
implications. Australia and the United States undertook to continue to work
closely together, and with others in the region, to help the region overcome
the financial crisis. The two governments welcomed the increased level of
bilateral consultation and exchange of information and assessments on economic
and financial developments in the region, including through key regional and
international institutions, and agreed to maintain this enhanced cooperation
and dialogue. Both sides underlined the importance of promoting good governance
and national institution-building in the Asia Pacific, including implementation
of the program agreed by APEC Finance Ministers, and more broadly in APEC,
through the development of projects aimed at enhancing economic governance
in the region.
9. Australia and the United States resolved to keep their markets open and
called on other countries to do likewise. In this regard, both governments
welcomed the reaffirmation by APEC leaders in November 1997 of their commitment
to implement the Bogor Declaration for free trade and investment in the region
by 2010/2020, and recognised the importance of the preparatory process for
the next World Trade Organisation (WTO) round of multilateral trade negotiations.
The two governments agreed on the imperative for APEC to conclude in November
the Early Voluntary Sectoral Liberalisation initiative approved by APEC leaders
in November 1997 and to press ahead with further improvements in Individual
Action Plans.
10. In a transition period marked by rapid change, effective and dynamic
relationships between the major regional powers are a vital component of the
region's strategic resilience. Australia expressed continued support for the
U.S.-Japan alliance as a central element in the region's security architecture,
and welcomed the recognition by the U.S. and Japanese governments of the importance
in the region of their relationship. Australia and the United States welcomed
the formation of a new administration in Japan and looked to the Government
of Japan to take strong action to restore and strengthen the Japanese economy.
Australia and the United States agreed continued implementation of policies
to advance economic growth in Japan would have significant benefits, both
economic and strategic, for the Asia Pacific region. The United States
and Australia welcomed recent positive developments in relations between Japan
and China, and between Japan and Russia, as important steps in fostering the
Asia Pacific's growing sense of community and cooperative endeavour.
11. Australia and the United States also acknowledged the profound importance
of the U.S.-China relationship to regional security and prosperity. Australia
welcomed the successful visit of President Clinton to China in June-July 1998,
and congratulated the United States and China on recent progress made in their
relationship. Both sides emphasised the essentiality of comprehensive and
practical engagement with China, and of supporting China's development as
a stable, open and prosperous power, and a strong and constructive partner
in the international community. Both governments agreed that a "one-China"
policy best served the region's interest in stability and prosperity.
12. Australia welcomed the continuing U.S. commitment to security and stability
on the Korean peninsula, expressed through the maintenance of the important
U.S.-Republic of Korea (ROK) security relationship, its active participation
in the Four Party peace process, and its leading role in the Korea Peninsula
Energy Development Organisation (KEDO). The United States welcomed Australia's
latest contribution to KEDO. Australia and the United States agreed KEDO has
provided a critical vehicle to avoid nuclear proliferation in North Korea
while promoting confidence building and constructive engagement between the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the broader international
13. Australia and the United States emphasised that the further development
of regional multilateral security dialogue would help strengthen the existing
web of mutually supportive regional relationships. The two sides stressed
the importance of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in promoting and enhancing
security dialogue in the Asia Pacific. Both sides expressed satisfaction with
the ARF's development and emphasised their continued commitment to strengthening
the ARF's work on confidence building measures and to the development of a
preventive diplomacy role for the ARF.
14. Australia and the United States reaffirmed their strong conviction that
the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and the delivery systems for such
weapons, pose serious challenges for global and regional security. The two
governments place enduring value on the effective implementation of non-proliferation
and arms control regimes as the foundation of global and regional efforts
to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction and to enable their eventual
elimination. The United States and Australia stressed the crucial importance
of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and
the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) as pillars of the global non-proliferation
and disarmament regime. The United States congratulated Australia for its
ratification of the CTBT. Both sides expressed strong support for the
prompt establishment of the CTBT's global verification regime and development
of the Treaty's institutional structure in Vienna, and for the immediate commencement
in the Conference on Disarmament of negotiations on a treaty to ban the production
of fissile material for nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices
(FMCT). Both sides agreed that the FMCT and CTBT would provide important non-proliferation
as well as disarmament benefits. Australia and the United States agreed on
the urgency of the START II Treaty entering into force so that the major nuclear
arsenal reductions provided for in that Treaty could be implemented, and so
as to clear the way for the expeditious conclusion of a START III agreement
between the United States and the Russian Federation.
15. The United States expressed strong support for Australia's proposal to
convene a high level meeting to highlight the political and security imperatives
of concluding, as soon as possible, a draft protocol to strengthen compliance
with the Biological Weapons Convention through the Ad Hoc Group negotiations.
Both governments reaffirmed their shared commitment to an effective global
ban on anti-personnel landmines and agreed to continue to work closely on
this issue, including the negotiation of a transfer ban in the Conference
on Disarmament. They reiterated the importance of effectively targeted international
contributions to humanitarian de-mining and mine victim assistance programs
as a complement to efforts to achieve a global ban. Australia and the United
States look forward to continued dialogue on these and other security issues
at the next Australia-U.S. political-military talks and disarmament consultations.
16. Ministers considered the recent nuclear tests by India and Pakistan a
source of deep and lasting concern, coming at a time when the commitment of
the international community to nuclear non-proliferation and its confidence
in effective progress on nuclear disarmament has never been stronger. These
tests had affected both countries' relationships with the United States and
Australia and had diminished rather than enhanced their security and their
international standing. Australia and the United States pledged their full
support for the benchmarks outlined in the communique issued by the P-5 in
Geneva on 4 June, UNSC Resolution 1172, and the 12 June G-8 Foreign Ministers
communique. They both expressed the strong hope that India and Pakistan would
decide not to take the fateful further step of deploying nuclear armed weapons
systems. We have agreed to continue to work closely together and with others
to prevent an accelerating nuclear and missile arms race in South Asia, to
strengthen the international non-proliferation regime, and to promote reconciliation
and peaceful resolution of differences between India and Pakistan.
17. Australia and the United States emphasised the importance to their national
interests, and the interests of the international community, that Iraq abide
by its international obligations to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction
capability. Australia congratulated the United States on the leadership it
had shown on this protracted issue. The United States expressed its warm appreciation
for Australian Defence Force deployment to the Gulf as part of the U.S.-led
military coalition. Both governments called on Iraq to comply fully with the
UN Security Council resolutions on the declaration, verification and destruction
of its weapons of mass destruction capability. The two sides reaffirmed their
continued commitment to the UN Special Commission's efforts to account for
and destroy Iraq's chemical and biological weapons and long range ballistic
missiles and to the International Atomic Energy Agency's on-going monitoring
and verification activities.
18. Australia and the United States reconfirmed their commitment to the reform
and reinvigoration of the United Nations system to enable it to face the challenges
of the next century. Australia expressed its disappointment that the United
States Administration and Congress had not resolved differences over payment
of UN assessments and expressed concern for the effective functioning of the
19. The United States and Australia expressed their strong commitment to
effective global action on climate change, noting that an effective global
response to the problem cannot be found through commitments by Annex I countries
alone, and agreed to continue their close cooperation within the Umbrella
Group of countries to develop a satisfactory and cost efficient framework
for international greenhouse gas emissions trading. Both governments noted
the need to ensure that the proposed biosafety protocol to the Convention
on Biological Diversity protects biological diversity while not hindering
international trade. The United States expressed its appreciation for
Australia's hosting of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) Secretariat
during the past two years. Both sides noted the continued threat to the world's
coral reefs - as recently witnessed by the extensive coral bleaching on the
Great Barrier reef - and agreed to continue actively supporting ICRI. Australia
and the United States reaffirmed their commitment to implement criteria and
indicators for sustainable forest management. The two governments expressed
their commitment to continue to work with regional countries to address fire
and haze problems and to develop sustainable solutions for the underlying
causes of the fires aimed at long term fire prevention. This would include
long term, regionally-oriented solutions.
20. The two governments reaffirmed the importance of close cooperation between
them in efforts to counter international terrorism, including in the context
of the hosting by Australia and the United States respectively of the Sydney
2000 Olympic Games and the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002.
21. Ministers noted the great value to both Governments of the exchange of
intelligence and assessments in understanding global developments.
22. Australia and the United States welcomed the fact that defence cooperation
under the alliance remained vibrant and forward-looking. Ministers restated
their view that the several U.S. alliance relationships in the Asia Pacific
and the forward deployment of U.S. forces are a fundamental element of the
security regime in the region. Ministers welcomed the fact that these arrangements
provide a secure foundation on which the region is building a more multifaceted
security regime and seeking to share security responsibilities. Australia
also made it clear that it would continue to support this U.S. posture in
practical ways, including through access to Australian ports and airfields
and providing areas for joint and unilateral training, exercises, and tests
of new capabilities. Ministers expressed satisfaction with the progress being
made on developing training areas in Northern Australia to allow larger-scale
exercises by U.S. ground forces. Ministers also agreed to simplify the procedures
for providing diplomatic clearance for visiting naval vessels to reflect the
importance of ship visits to the relationship.
23. The two governments emphasised that a high degree of interoperability
between their armed forces was a hallmark of the alliance. Ministers stressed
their determination to continue to make interoperability a priority goal,
particularly in view of the challenges posed by rapid technological change,
especially in the information arena. In the light of this outlook and the
lessons from the recent coalition operations in the Gulf, they agreed to renew
the focus of joint training and exercises on this objective; to broaden the
exposure of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to U.S. theatre commands other
than Pacific Command through personnel exchanges with Central Command and
Atlantic Command; to intensify collaboration between the respective national
force elements exploring the ramifications of the Revolution in Military Affairs
for the conduct of military operations; and to facilitate access to particular
U.S. technologies important to the effectiveness of the ADF and its capacity
to contribute to coalition operations, notably in the submarine, airborne
early warning and control, and combat aircraft fields. Ministers also endorsed
a reciprocal fellowship program involving the National Defence University
in the United States and the Australian Defence College to develop further
mutual understanding of defence cultures.
24. Australia and the United States agreed on the centrality of the `knowledge
edge' to the successful conduct of military operations. Ministers observed
that intelligence was one critical factor in the knowledge edge and that Australia
and the United States continued to enjoy a particularly close and productive
partnership in this area. Ministers also agreed on the importance of emerging
new capabilities for wide-area surveillance. They endorsed a program of cooperative
research and development and joint investigation of the doctrinal implications
of these new capabilities and looked forward to a long-term partnership in
this field. In view of the diversity of collaborative activities, Ministers
endorsed a proposal to establish a new committee to coordinate and promote
cooperation in equipment acquisition, technology and support.
25. The Ministers welcomed the recent 10-year extension of the treaty governing
the Joint Defence Facility at Pine Gap. They noted the planned closure in
1999 of the ballistic missile early warning facility at Nurrungar and expressed
confidence that the closure of the facility and the United States Air Force
withdrawal from Woomera would be managed to the satisfaction of both sides.
They further agreed that it would be appropriate to commemorate the critical
function Nurrungar has performed over some 30 years with a ceremony involving
senior officials from both sides. At the same time, they expressed their pleasure
that Australia-U.S. cooperation in this field would continue in new ways,
including Australian involvement in the management of the Relay Ground Station
for early warning data to be located at Pine Gap, in the data processing operation
in the United States, and in associated research development.
26. Australia and the United States reaffirmed their commitment to the liberalisation
of global trade and investment as fundamental to global and regional security
and prosperity. They underlined their support for a clear and enforceable
rules-based system governing international trade and investment. Both governments
welcomed the positive outcome of the second WTO Ministerial Conference in
May 1998 which laid the groundwork for a new comprehensive round of multilateral
trade negotiations, including preparation for agricultural negotiations in
1999. Australia welcomed the leadership shown by the United States both through
President Clinton's statement at Geneva on 18 May in support of negotiations
to secure a more open global trading system, and the U.S. offer to host the
third WTO Ministerial Conference in 1999. Australia strongly supported the
continuing efforts of the United States to obtain Fast Track authority for
free trade negotiations. The United States commended Australia's continued
leadership of the Cairns Group of agricultural fair trading nations, and committed
to work cooperatively with the Cairns Group to liberalise further global agricultural
trade in the next round of WTO negotiations, commencing in 1999.
27. As an integral part of maintaining and enhancing their bilateral relationship,
Australia and the United States reaffirmed their commitment to reducing and
eliminating barriers to trade, to expanding bilateral trade and investment
ties, and to working collaboratively to address outstanding issues. The two
sides commended the close and ongoing consultations held over the last year,
highlighted by the bilateral Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA)
talks in April 1998. Australia and the United States emphasised the importance
of liberalising agricultural trade, including by removing trade-distorting
subsidies. The United States reiterated that it would continue to seek to
avoid using the Export Enhancement Program (EEP) and the Dairy Export Incentive
Program (DEIP) in ways that undermine Australia's interests. Australia and
the United States reiterated their willingness to work constructively on issues
of bilateral trade concern, including sanitary and phytosanitary and subsidy
issues, and to continue cooperation on other trade and investment matters.
28. Recalling their shared interest in helping the Asia Pacific recover from
the regional economic crisis, both governments agreed that carefully considered
and well-targeted export credits, which did not distort traditional patterns
of trade or disrupt markets, were a legitimate and important means of assisting
countries affected by the crisis.
29. Both sides reaffirmed the value of annual Australia-U.S. Ministerial
Consultations, and the United States invited Australia to take part in the
next round of talks in the United States in 1999.

Martin Cinerama
4218 Lindell Boulevard,
St. Louis,
2 people favorited this theater
The Martin Cinerama, the first theatre built in St. Louis since the Fox Theatre in 1928, opened January 10, 1963 with Laurence Harvey in "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" as part of a chain of Martin Theatres of Georgia.
It claimed to have the world's largest indoor screen, which measured 100 feet on a curve. The two story building attempted to be a "modern movie palace". The entire theatre was dressed in all burnt orange with gold trim. It was carpeted wall to wall, with the seats even set on carpet.
Opened as a Cinerama format theatre, with the original three projector equipment and later 70mm. It was an established road show house until its last few years of operation.
The theatre seated 1,120 total between the two floors. Trans Lux Theatres took over operation of the theatre in 1968 and the last 3-strip Cinerama film to be screened was a re-issue of "The Is Cinerama" in June 1973. It was still capable of screening 70mm films and was closed in 1988. It was demolished in 1997.

Paul P. Danesh is my dad and he was the manager of the Martin Cinerama for many years. It was breath taking and way ahead of its time! Certainly whey a head of St.louis time! I remember going there as a child and seeing movies like "How The West Was Won" and getting to meet Charleton Heston and Harvey Kietel an Danny Thomas etc… Every time a major movie would premier the movie stars would come to town and make special appearances at the theater. I thought my dad was a movie star! The attendants were all nice and dressed up and some times wore white gloves! The theater was beautiful and very elegant! The sound was amazing and they would also sell the soundtracks to the movies.
There has never been another theater like this ever! I will try to find some pictures and post them. My dad said the first movie to be shown there was "This is Cinerama" He started there on the 20th of febuary 1962 and loved every day he went to work. Anybody who got to see a movie there knows there has never been anything like it! Ever!
Too bad there are not more photos.
Never realized Martin went that far away from Georgia.

Is Fraxel or Photodynamic Therapy Better for acne Scars?
I have very strong active acne. What is the best option in my position? Should I use a fraxel laser or should I go with the photodynamic therapy? Is one better than the other for live acne as opposed to scaring? I think that is what I need to figure out. What are the major pricing differences between the two as well.

Which list do you want Encouraging a Positive Transcension discussed
on? AGI or SL4? It could get cumbersome having effectively the same
discussion on both lists.
Thanks for the paper. it was stimulating read.
I have a few quibbles.
You discuss the value of aligning with universal tendencies. How can
you know what's really universal since were in a pretty small patch of
the universe at a pretty circumscribed moment in time? If we
happened to be in a universe that oscillated between big bangs what
looked universal might be rather different in the expanding universe
phase and in the contracting universe phase.
Also socially certain things look universal until some new possibilities
pop up. If judged at an early stage of the said popping, then new thing
might look like a quaint Quixotic endeavour. It only after the quaint
quixotic idea becomes widespread that its inherent universalism
becomes clear.
On the subject of growth - do you really want to foster growth per se
(quantitative moreness?) or development (qualitative improvement?)??
Ive got a feeling that promoting growth or even development is not a
rounded enough goal. I think theres something powerful in the idea of
promoting (using my pet terminology) genuine progress AND
sustainability. So at all times philosophising entities are considering
what they want to change for the better for the first time and they are
also thinking about what should be maintained from the past/present
and carried through into the future. So both continuity and change are
important paired notions.
Your principle that "the more abstract the principle, the more likely it is
to survive successive self-modification" seems to make intuitive sense
to me.
You said: that in order to make a Megalomaniac AI, one would
probably need to explicitly program an AI with a lust for power.
Wouldnt it be rather easy to catch the lust for power bug from the
humans that raise an AGI - or even from our literature? I think theres
a high chance that at least a few baby AGIs will be brought up by
megalomaniacs. And one super-powerful megalomaniac AGI is
probably more than we want and more than we can easily deal with.
If humans are allowed to stay in their present form if they wish and if
some humans as they are now might go dangerously berserk with
advanced technology and we go down the AI Buddha path then the
logic developed in your paper seems to suggest that AI Buddhas will
have to also take on a Big Brother role as well as whatever else they
might do.
Cheers, Philip

Common running injuries (and how to deal with them)
Rosemary Marchese – Physiotherapist.
If you love to run, it's quite likely that you run a lot. With this comes the increased risk of injury. Some injuries will occur because of the mileage you clock up, the shoes you wear or from muscle imbalances and poor alignment. Trail runners face the added challenges of uneven surfaces and sometimes even slippery surfaces.
When dealing with any acute injury it's a good idea to apply the RICE method – Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. If things don't settle down quickly then you should get to a physiotherapist. If you think you need an Xray it's best to visit your doctor too.
Here are the most common injuries runners face:
Runner's knee
Technically known as 'patellofemoral pain syndrome' this annoying injury presents with vague symptoms. Pain often occurs after running or at the end of a long run and presents around/behind the patella (knee cap) and is hard to localise. It can hurt to run downhill or climb up and down stairs with this injury.
What you can do
If you can limit yourself to shorter runs then it may be okay to keep running, as long as you are not pushing yourself through pain. A lot of runners with this condition need a specific glute (butt) strengthening program and alignment issues addressed. The alignment issues often stem from the feet but even the hips and knees can contribute. Glute and quadriceps (strengthening) and hamstring and calf flexibility training can be very beneficial for improving this condition.
Ankle sprains
This is more common in trail running than road running. Uneven surfaces increase the risk of an 'ankle roll', which can increase the risk of ligament tears or even fractures. Mild ligament sprains can take a week or two to heal whereas severe ankle sprains can take weeks to months. Complete ligament tears require surgery.
Ligament sprains must be cared for properly. Once you tear a ligament it places you at higher risk of re-injury. The build up of scar tissue in a ligament means that the ligament is not as strong and flexible as it was originally. This reduces your ability to keep yourself stable (proprioception) and react quickly to stop a fall.
What you can do
Find out what type of injury it is – is it a Grade 1, 2 or 3 injury? Grade 1 is a minor tear and can take 1-2 weeks to heal. A few physio sessions may help to get you back on track even faster. With a Grade 2 sprain you can expect a 6-8 week recovery in most circumstances. Grade 1 and 2 tears require a rehab program focussed on progressive strengthening and regaining flexibility and proprioception at the right pace. Grade 3 tears are complete tears and require referral to a specialist for assessment and planning.
ITB (iliotibial band) Syndrome
The ITB is a band of tissue that runs down the outside of the thigh. It's distal attachment point is just below the knee. Repetition and compression of this distal component can create pain. This often stems from strength imbalances and it is not unusual for hip abductor weakness to be part of the cause.
What you can do
Becoming friendly with a foam roller is often a good idea. Releasing tension in the ITB can often be achieved through a combination of massage, foam roller work and even stretching. Finding out the cause of the problem is something a physiotherapist can do. Often strengthening the gluteus medius through a string of hip abduction strengthening exercises can be a great place to start.
Metatarsal pain
This pain is felt underneath the foot towards the balls of the feet. This occurs when there is too much pressure on the little bones and often need a break!
What you can do
This can be a great time to cross train, invest in some metatarsal pads and a better pair of shoes. It's super important not to run through pain and get the condition assessed if it does not resolve rapidly.
Shin splints
Pain at the front of the shins often occurs from doing too much training too fast. The area at the front of the tibia (shin bone) becomes sore, even to the touch, and can result in a stress fracture if not dealt with properly. Stiff ankles, overdoing it and not enough recovery are often culprits in this nasty injury.
What you can do
Get your program checked and make sure your progressions are appropriate for your ability and fitness. Addressing the stiffness in your ankles and strengthening the calf and ankles can also be useful. Secondary work can then involve strengthening the core and hip muscles.

Top Hip-Hop + Finance News for 5.13.20
Markets as of Close on 5.12.20
Supreme Court to Decide on The Release of Trump's Financial Records
The Supreme Court had a lot to say about President Trump's wallet. Well, it comes with big questions, like whether the president can block the release of his financial records. Yesterday, SCOTUS heard oral arguments over the phone on three Trump-related cases.
The first argument covered two cases focused on subpoenas from House investigations, which were looking into alleged crimes like whether Trump lied on his financial records to reduce his taxes. The second involved subpoenas from the Manhattan DA, who's investigating alleged hush-money payments to women (remember Stormy Daniels?). Trump has denied wrongdoing in each case. And his defense team claimed that the House's subpoenas are illegitimate, adding that as long as Trump is in office, he should be immune from any criminal investigation.
Some of them (hint: the liberal justices) gave a history lesson to get their point across: if President Nixon and President Clinton were forced to cooperate in their investigations, why shouldn't Trump? Others (hint: the conservative justices) focused on whether allowing the subpoenas would lead to presidential harassment. Both sides seemed skeptical that a president can have absolute immunity.
So what's the final ruling? There isn't one…yet. A decision is expected within weeks. But there are a few different ways the court could rule. Justices could require Trump to hand over some financial records or none at all. They could also hand the cases back over to the lower courts – in which case a decision isn't likely until after the November election.
The Supreme Court is weighing the powers of Congress against those of a sitting president. Whatever the court decides, this could have implications not just ahead of the November election, but for years to come.
Health Official Testify to the Senate
Top US health officials. Yesterday, they testified remotely before the Senate on COVID-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci warned against reopening too quickly, saying that if states ignore federal guidelines, the US could see avoidable "suffering and death." He also said a vaccine likely won't be ready by the time schools reopen this fall. He and CDC Director Robert Redfield both said the US needs to ramp up contact tracing and testing. And though Redfield said the US is in better shape than it was, he channeled his inner Taylor Swift to point out that we're not "out of the woods yet."
Not everyone's on the same page: The hearing came one day after Trump said "we have prevailed" on testing for the virus. He's been a proponent of reopening the country ASAP, and has criticized Democrats for moving "too slowly" in doing so.
Covid-19 and Your Money
House Democrats released their proposal for a fourth relief package yesterday. The bill includes $875 billion for state and local governments, $175 billion for testing and healthcare, and $75 billion in housing assistance. It adds up to $3 trillion total. The U.S. budget deficit grew to a record $738 billion in April.
So what does this mean for your money?
It could cost less to borrow money. COVID-19 has hurt profits across different industries. And you've probably heard the word "recession" a lot more than once. In rough economic times, the Federal Reserve can lower interest rates to encourage people to spend, invest, and borrow money. In March, the Fed cut rates down to almost zero. That could help you get better borrowing terms when you buy or refinance a home. And maybe a slight discount if you carry a balance on your credit card or other variable-rate debt.
Oh, and if you're planning to take out new student loans, good news: interest rates on federal loans for the upcoming school year just dropped to the lowest level ever.
You might get a break on your current debt. Lenders are getting more flexible to help take some financial pressure off people who are struggling. If you already owe Uncle Sam back for college, you probably don't need to make payments (including interest) until October. If you're struggling with credit card, personal loan or mortgage payments, call your creditor. Several banks have said they may waive fees or defer payments.
You could get a lot more money from the gov than usual. In March, President Trump signed a $2 trillion relief bill into law. It included things like $1,200 checks, an extra $600 per week in unemployment benefits, and help for small businesses. In May, House Dems said 'that was so much fun, let's do it again.' And introduced a new bill that would give American households up to $6,000, help paying housing and utility bills, and more. TBD on if it'll make it through Congress and onto Trump's desk.
Twitter Will Let Almost All Its Employees WFH Permanently
Yesterday, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wrote in an email to employees that the company will allow almost everyone to work from home permanently.
Dorsey had said he planned to make Twitter's workforce more "distributed" before the coronavirus pandemic, but then…those plans got pushed up. Office closures have forced many companies to try remote working. Google said a majority of Googlers will WFH until 2021, and Facebook will allow all employees who are able to WFH to do so even after it reopens offices after the July 4 weekend.
And it's not just tech: The pandemic prompted members of the button-down brigade like Morgan Stanley and Barclays to add security measures that allow employees to WFH, to generally positive results. One report by NordVPN found that average workdays have stretched three hours longer since lockdowns began. Feel that.
This could signal a turning point for a commercial real estate trend that's been gaining steam for over 100 years. Since the late 19th century, a company without an office has been no company at all. But as the economic outlook gets bleaker, anxious execs could eagerly ditch leases while employees work from their breakfast nooks.
- Commercial real estate leases often last 10 years, and very few firms are currently in a position to make 10-year decisions.
- Google owner Alphabet has stopped real estate deals for over 2 million sq. ft. of new office space since the pandemic began, per Marker.
For companies that do return to offices, the digs will look different. Staff might work alternate days and be herded by sensors and markings to enforce social distancing—and architects say the long-abandoned cubicle's comeback has arrived.
Looking ahead…real estate is slow to react to economic contractions, so we probably won't see the peak of any office exodus until 2021 at least.
JPMorgan Chase See Future in Cryptocurrency
Its CEO once called bitcoin a fraud but now U.S. banking giant JPMorgan Chase has added its first cryptocurrency exchange customers, CoinDesk has confirmed.
Sources told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday the bank signed two popular regulated exchanges – Coinbase and Gemini, the latter founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss.
The fact that both exchanges are regulated in the U.S. was apparently a factor in the approvals, which still took a lengthy period of vetting, the WSJ said. Accounts for the two crypto firms were approved last month, the sources said, and are now in use.
The move by JPMorgan is notable in a nation where banking services are hard to come by for any firms dealing with cryptocurrencies, which are viewed as a high risk by the banking industry. Until now, exchanges and other firms working with digital assets have been served by a few crypto-friendly banking institutions such as Silvergate.
Still, Gemini and Coinbase aren't the first crypto clients for JPMorgan. TokenSoft, a regulated transfer agent and software vendor for security token services, has had an account at the bank since 2017, CEO Mason Borda said on Twitter.
The IRS Wants to Keep Its Eye on Crypto Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking third-party contractors to help it assess whether certain U.S. taxpayers have properly paid taxes on their crypto holdings.
According to an email posted online by CryptoTrader.Tax and verified by CoinDesk, IRS Assistant Deputy Commissioner John Cardone said the agency is looking for contractors to "assist our Revenue Agents in calculating taxpayers' gains or losses as a result of their transactions involving virtual currency." At least one other company in the space, which asked not to be named, also received the email.
Swizz Beatz Wants to Create Rapper Reparations
Swizz Beatz not only wants to give a minimum of one million dollars to artists like Melle Mel and the Sugar Hill Gang, but he believes rappers should be paying taxes to them, as well.
"The fact we're not paying taxes on who started hip hop shows we don't f*cking really love hip hop," Swizz continued. "The fact we don't pay taxes as artists to those icons that paved the way, took the lower cut for the music that allow us to feed our family… F*ck the government. We need to be paying taxes to the creatives of hip hop that gave us freedom of speech to move forward. I'm going to go so hard with that." Swizz added "Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash, and Sugar Hill Gang, minimum a million a piece." Watch Swizz Beatz give his passionate petition for legends of hip hop below.
No Kid Hungry Foundation Rejects Tekashi's $200,000 Donation
Tekashi revealed that he donated $200,000 to the No Kid Hungry Foundation. The rapper posted the news via IG and said: "REMEMBER if you are blessed GOD gave you that blessing not just for YOU but also TO HELP OTHERS 🙌🏼 GOD FIRST." Now, the No Hungry Kid Foundation has cleared up the donation, noting that they are not accepting the contribution from the storied rapper. Well the No Kid Hungry Foundation said, "Nah we Good"
The foundation issued a statement saying, "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez's generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation. As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values."
Uber Wants More Grub
Uber is looking to acquire food delivery service Grubhub, according to multiple reports. Grubhub shares shot up 29% as if it were a soggy burger excited to finally become someone's dinner.
Zoom out: Food delivery is a fierce business, so consolidation was on the menu this year, global pandemic or not. The WSJ reported in February that industry players like Uber, DoorDash, and Postmates were already sketching out ways they might combine to not completely cannibalize one another.
For Uber, this could be a seamless acquisition in more ways than one.
- Its food delivery arm, Uber Eats, has been surging during the lockdowns, with Q1 bookings up over 50% annually.
- However, the company's core rides business was down about 80% in April, forcing it to implement harsh cost-cutting measures. Last week, Uber laid off 3,700 employees, or 14% of its total workforce.
But it's not crawling into a shell. Besides its reported interest in Grubhub, Uber is leading a $170 million investment in e-scooter and bike company Lime.

Teaching Your Children The Importance Of Wealth
You've worked hard to build your estate, and maintain it over time. Eventually, it will be time to leave your estate to your children. How will you make sure that they are prepared?
Just as you have a responsibility to manage your wealth, you have a responsibility to educate your children about how to manage it. Children also have a responsibility to learn. It's your job to show them the way.
The dialogue about family wealth changes over time. Children might have a certain frame of reference as teenagers, but that dynamic changes once they marry and spouses are introduced into the family. The conversation about transfer of wealth happens over and over again, at different milestones in life. As the point of departure nears where there will be some significant asset transfer, all of the cumulative talks where you have been educating and steering the child over time will have to be used in their OWN lives.
Monday ( Sept 21) on the "Ash Cash Show" Ash Cash shared praise and admiration to his daughter, her growth and respect for money is inspiring, as she is active in the family business. At the tender age of twelve, seeing her using her earned income to purchase her own items, was a delight for him to see. Like most parents should, Ash Cash used the best time to start talking to his child about money and the family's assets as early as he felt comfortable. The process ultimately has two parts that should be handled separately: teaching money skills, and revealing family wealth.
Think of it as a process of apprenticeship, where your children will learn from you how your family's estate should be handled. Incremental learning and incremental responsibility will be the cornerstones of a successful education process.
When you feel like your children are mature enough to handle wealth management, and you respect the people they are becoming, it's time to go to the next step and educate them about the family's wealth and their inheritance. YES! THEIR INHERITANCE. Advisors say, that making them aware of your family's wealth, and their responsibilities pertaining to it, early on will set them up for the best chance of success.
Allow your children to sit in on business conversations and learn to communicate as a business owner. You need to allow the next generation to make their voices heard when it comes to philanthropic endeavors. Don't just sit around a table and make decisions about which organizations to give family money to, encourage your heirs to participate in the work these organizations do, and experience the difference that money makes.
It's important to teach children the story and context that's behind the accumulation of family wealth. It involves other members of the family who built something that is being passed down. In that story, there are highs and lows, setbacks, victories, and all of this is important in setting the context for stewardship. Share with them how complex it was to achieve the wealth and what it takes to keep it.
The education is KEY. If you have a portfolio and you look at its value over time, your heirs need to understand how different withdrawal rates will affect that value. It's frequently an eye-opener for children and families when they realize that they have to be very deliberate about this process in order to preserve the wealth through generations.
Remember: This sense of accountability will permeate their lives and help them behave in matters of generational wealth.
Black Wall Street 2.0
Are we starting to build Black Wall Street 2.0 with the latest merger between Broadway Financial Corporation and City First Banc Corporation? In August, two black owned banks, Broadway Financial Corporation and City First Banc Corporation decided to come together to create the largest black-led minority depository institution in the United States. Broadway and City First each hold a strong financial position as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). Both banks have a history of advancing economic and social equity through capital in low to moderate income communities. As of June 30, 2020, Broadway and City First have deployed a combined $1.1 billion in loans and investments in their communities since 2015.
This merger will create jobs, close funding gaps, expand critical social services, and economic development. As Brian E. Argrett, who is President and CEO of City First Bank and the Vice Chair and CEO of the new combined institution stated, "Given the compounding factors of a global pandemic, unprecedented unemployment and social unrest resulting from centuries of inequities, the work of CDFIs has never been more urgent and necessary". "As part of this historic merger, we are demonstrating that thriving urban neighborhoods are viable markets that require a dedicated focus, long-term commitment and critical access to capital."
Wayne-Kent Bradshaw, Broadway's President and CEO and now the board leader also stated: "The new combined institution will strengthen our position and will help drive both sustainable economic growth and societal returns," "We envision building stronger profitability and creating a multiplier effect of capital availability for our customers and for the communities we serve."
This merger is a game changer in the financial industry to be the largest minority depository institution, but also for the communities the institution serves. The economic development and growth this merger will bring to help create jobs, create opportunities for business owners, and homeowners are just the start. The communities the institution will invest in will create social services by allowing children to see another career choice. We are expecting great opportunities for this merger to show society when we invest in urban communities, the outcome for neighborhoods and future generations are sure to change.
We are continuing to take back our power as consumers and we are not waiting for anyone to save us. We are reaching back into our own communities by investing in them while changing the narrative. This merger will open doors for new business owners to seek small business loans. The long-term renter that will have the opportunity to seek first-time home buyer's guidance from a bank that not only looks like them but also can relate to their plight. The young graduate can start their career at one of the bank locations that will be created. Possibilities are endless with this merger from job creations to improving the people lives in the surrounding community. It our modern day, The Banker, the movie based off a true story, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Mackie. In the movie, the two crusaders purchased real estate, banks, and buildings to make opportunities available to the black community.
The merger is expecting to expand in the banks' current geographic areas and to expand to other high-potential urban markets, throughout the United States. The merger is expected to close the first quarter of 2021. We are looking forward to the future of Broadway and City First Banc, where this may be a start of the new Black Wall Street.
The Business of Black Struggle: How Stereotypes Help Ad Revenue + How to Change the Narrative
What you see more online is what becomes reality for most in 2020. Politics, Pandemic, Black Lives Matter Movement and Small Businesses, all have became the growing highlights of socialmedia. Every person has the ability to search, post videos from their smart phones; which creates a perception of the world around us, including our relationship with ourselves.
Anyway you look at things, Advertisers don't just shove things into ads. They study what people like and then try to design an approach that will appeal to their target audience. On "The Ash Cash Show" episode this past Friday, Ash Cash shared thoughts on Ad Revenue; how socialmedia is a powerful tool in Ad Revenue and how we as consumers can control the narratives on how the world sees us and markets to us.
When it comes to what goes into an ad, advertisers have a long list of techniques to choose from. They can decide whether you might like a funny ad better than a touching one, or whether it might work best to get you to see their product as the solution to something you fear (acne or body odor, for example).
Through social media, Black consumers have brokered a seat at the table and are demanding that brands and marketers speak to them in ways that resonate culturally and experientially—if these brands want their business. And with African Americans spending $1.4 trillion annually as of 2020, brands have a lot to lose. Scrolling through Instagram or Facebook, you will see what is important to consumers.
Black Consumer's spending already significantly affects the bottom line in many categories and industries.The enormous buying potential of Black consumers has put a spotlight on many popular brands' ability to navigate the nuances of culturally relevant and socially conscious marketing.
We have the power to change the way we are viewed on socialmedia and who gets our dollars. Who are you as a customer online? What is your primary social network? What online content are you consuming the most? Focus on your socialmedia presence and interest, this will protect your dollars. Activate and pay attention to your own social campaign that's attracting brands to your communities.
Your content presence online is a representation of you and your community. Change the narrative of what represents you as a consumer. Learn about being equal in parts of the right media mix and alignment with the correct visual representation of your dollars.
You have to test, measure, and expand your messaging and content across various media formats. Track, listen, and learn what content drives the most engagement and conversion. TAP IN! Presently, African Americans comprise more users on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram than non-Hispanic white consumers. With that power you can control how brands market and advertise.
As cultural trendsetters and informed shoppers, the influence and importance in our economy is stronger than ever. As such, brands have to sharpen their strategies, best to be ready to engage.

Hi explorers 🙂
Today I want to share with you one of the most beautiful trekking experiences that I had thanks to the Trekking Group "Experience: adventures and more", that you can join as well, participating is free and children and dogs are always welcomed.
In this exploration we'll experience the white rocky South East coast of Malta and we will walk a circular trail of 11 kilometres.
It takes about two and a half hours, starting in the morning at 9.00 from St. Thomas Bay in Marsascala and coming back at about midday.
Ready to go?
Let's go then 😉
In the pictures below you can see the lovely St Thomas Bay which is still contesting with St Paul's Bay, the arrival of the Apostle Paul in Malta during the Romans in 60 AD.
They bay was really quiet that morning, a sign that was not Summer, as it becomes a popular swimming spot for locals and tourists in the high season.
Have a look… at the small pier there is someone who wants to say "hello"!!!
At the end of the bay we took the narrow path heading straight and uphill across the Delimara Peninsula. The magnificent limestone cliffs can easily remind me of the famous White Cliffs of Dover, albeit a slightly smaller version.
The erosion of the water, wind and time lhave eft clear signs on the cliffs, which make this view really breathtaking!
Then, we passed through the inland track and later down the coast of the Delimara Peninsula, where you can admire the bays of Marsaxlokk and Birzebbuga in the distance.
In the pictures, you can see:
The lighthouse at Delimara, in the distance.
The Roman Saline
The bays along the coast: Slug's Pool, Il-Qala, Peter's Pool.
Also, you can immerse yourself in a beautiful wild nature full of flowers and endemic plants, like the Maltese salt tree, sea lavander and capers.
Keep in mind when you will walk along the circular coast stretch of Delimara, that it is important to keep the chimney as a reference point.
Time to take the inland path back towards St. Thomas Bay.
Have you seen how beautiful is the landscape of the three bays?
Birzebbuga, Marsaxlokk and Marsascala and behind them the village of Zejtun.
It's clear from here how Zejtun is raised above the sea and why since ancient times, was the most populated village in the south-east of Malta, thanks to its position as a viewpoint of the three bays.
Hope you enjoyed the walk with us guys and let me know if you have visited
the Delimara Peninsula 😉
This is a little memory that I'm sharing with you, a picture with my Mum and my Granny, who came to visit me in Malta for the first time last year and I brought her to see the Delimara Lighthouse, as she is a constant light for me!

Track Your "KYC" Status Online
Know Your Customer or KYC as it is better referred to as is the bank regulation that financial institutions and other regulated companies must perform to identify their clients and ascertain relevant information pertinent to doing financial business with them.
The objective of KYC guidelines is to prevent banks from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities. KYC procedures also enable banks to know/understand their customers and their financial dealings better which in turn help them manage their risks prudently.
KYC is primarily done when you apply for a DEMAT account / initiate activating Mutual Fund and elsewhere the money laundering activities are possible.
There is not much you need to do to get KYC done. You just need to fill up a form (that you can get from the financial institution you are associated with) and submit it along with a copy of PAN card and some address proof document.
After you have submitted these documents, it takes close to a month for KYC process to get completed.
CVL India is responsible of doing the KYC check. CVL or CDSL Ventures Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), a leading securities depository in the India.
You can check the status of your KYC application by just entering your PAN and fetching the status.
Visit KYC status check link. Enter your PAN and select Submit Your KYC application status is displayed.
If you have submitted your KYC application just now, wait for couple of days for it to reach them and update their system.
Update: 7th Apr 2011
After around two months of form submission, KYC status changed to Verified.
Update: 7th Jan 2013
Based upon the information from one of our readers, CVL has moved the KYC status check page.
- Visit KYC status check updated link
- Enter your PAN or Name, DOB & Exempt Category
- Enter Captcha code and click Submit
- Your record will be displayed

Those sensors are noisy. I have even more noise than you.
Those sensors pick up any magnetism from transformers nearby. Both normal 50Hz/60Hz transformers and also high frequency switching power supply transformers.
I live in Europe, with 50Hz mains. So I use the average during 20ms, to measure DC current.
But it still is not very stable.
If you look at the Pololu breakout board, the current side copper on the pcb is near the sensor output side. For high voltages it should be as far as possible away from the sensor output side.
"Warning: This product is intended for use below 30 V. Working with higher voltages can be extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by qualified individuals with appropriate equipment and protective gear."
Now I am confuse. What exactly is restricting the voltage from go over 30V? Is that an issue with the board or the IC? Cause I can't find this limitation on the data-sheet of the ACS714 IC.
retrolefty, your answer scares me.
Look at the pcb, how short the distance is between the current side and the signal side of the sensor. There is even a signal line under the chip.
Anyone know if this is suitable for the mains? say 3A max @ 240v AC (UK). I had a quick skim through the datasheet, and didn't seem to find anything :/
Chiel | about 3 years ago 1
the ACS712 is rated to 5A and after searching around on the web for projects using this ic at 220v i would say its usable in europe. the datasheet mentions a Peak Basic isolation voltage of ~380 Volt which could be the maximum voltage the ic can handle. i hope this answers your question.
mattkenny | about 3 years ago 1
I'm using the 20A version of this chip in a device to sense mains current @240V/50Hz (Australia). It handles it just fine.
retrolefty, a resistor of 1.2mOhm is between pin 2 and 3. So at 30A there is 36 mV between 2 and 3.
retrolefty, a resistor of 1.2mOhm is between pin 2 and 3. So at 30A there is 36 mV between 2 and 3.
30A continuous wouldn't be a sensible application for these sensors.
ok had another look at the data sheet
i cant find any mention of heatsinking,
i really dont understand where this heat would be coming from in the first place, the current passes between IP+ (pins 1 and 2) and IP- (pins 3 and 4) the resistance is 0.3 ohms how can this generate any heat?
Hmm... well since this is a +/-30A sensor I do assume it is safe to run 30A through the chip... But for my application, the current actually won't go over 5A, so it is not really a concern to me. The thing I am worry about is the voltage cause it is going to be constantly around 100V.

Can't be .3 ohms and still rated for 30amps. Amps squared X R loss would blow the whole module up.
What resistance does your meter read:
(a) when you press the probes directly on to the leads of the chip;
(b) when you press the probes against each other?
All I will point out is the size of the eval pcb heat sink vs what the commercial resellers typically design and sell. The datasheet mentions a typical internal resistance of 1.2 mOhm for the acs712 and a 5x over current survival.
The datasheet also mentions a atypical 2oz copper thickness for the pcb used on the eval board. The FAQ (http://www.allegromicro.com/en/Products/Current-Sensor-ICs/Zero-To-Fifty-Amp-Integrated-Conductor-Sensor-ICs/ACS712/ACS712-ACS713-Frequently-Asked-Questions.aspx#Q7) also shows die temperatures assuming optimal conditions (ie eval board) reaching 165 C at 20amps in hot ambient conditions. I expected my device to potentially get hot inside as it did not feature active convection and the enclosure is small.
So, by all means go and use this sensor but between the relatively high error and the heat issues, if was not suitable for me. For those measuring short impulse loads in particular, this chip family features very attractive attributes like small size and relatively low cost. I went for the LTSR series from LEM instead. It's leads are significantly beefier, you get a reference voltage for differential measurements, etc.
Are defiantly wrong ive just gone through all my 20amp and 30amp chips and measured this resistance
results as follows, these were measured on the pins nothing attached to them on ip+ (pins 1 and 2) and ip- (pins 3 and 4).
acs 712 20a total 6 ics, all 0.3 ohms
acs 712 30a total 13 ics all 0.3 ohms
maby the figure they quote in their chart has a typo (m?) sould be just (?)
they do mention that the data was made using theAllegro ASEK712 demo board maby this resistance comes from extra circuitry there maby? but looking at it cant see any components that would suggest this
be really great if someone else could also confirm this resistance as well
Hey guys, sorry for digging up this old post. I am making the PCB right now and I am wondering what is the purpose of the 0.1uF cap.
Let say I am going to include 10 ACS714 on a single board. According to the data sheet, a 0.1uF cap is suppose to be connected from VCC to GND. Can I just use one cap for all the ACS714? Should it be 0.1uF or 1uF? Thank you so much!

15/04/2018 - End discrimination against LGBT+ people at work
Our Union is campaigning against all forms of discrimination.
We are highlighting the nine protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010 and providing information and guidance on each. This is in line with a vote at our 2018 Annual Meeting urging our union to do more on these issues. This week we look at discrimination against LGBT+ workers. Members who suffer discrimination or are falsely accused of discrimination should contact the union as soon as they can. Then we can start to help.
The Equality Act 2010 protects lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people from direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation at work.
The law protects those looked at or thought of as lesbian, gay, bi or trans or anyone who experiences discrimination because they associate with LGBT people too.
There are instances, about 'occupational requirements', where exemptions may apply, although these are limited.
Employers have to adhere to the Equality Act. The number of staff used or the amount of money made by the business is not relevant.
The law protects staff throughout the application and interview process, and throughout the term of their employment, including any probation or notice period.
- Those with full-time contracts
- Those with temporary contracts
- Contract workers (unless they are self-employed)
- Partners
- Agency staff (in most cases)
- Vocational trainees
- Work experience students.
The organisation you feel has acted unlawfully has responsibility. This means that agency staff placed with a firm that breaks the law, or employs someone who acts unlawfully, should complain to that organisation. You should challenge the agency if it discriminates.
Direct discrimination because of sexual orientation
If you are treated less favourably because of your sexual orientation than someone of a different sexual orientation would be treated in the same circumstances that's direct discrimination.
It is also direct discrimination to treat you less favourably because of the sexual orientation of someone you know, such as a family member or friend (discrimination by association).
You need to prove direct discrimination. It will help if you can give an example of a colleague from a different sexual orientation who, in similar circumstances, has been, or would have been, treated more favourably than you.
Abuse and harassment because of sexual orientation are forms of direct discrimination.
If someone has been violent or hostile towards you due to your sexual orientation, you can also report this to the police as a hate incident or hate crime.
Indirect discrimination because of sexual orientation
It is indirect sexual orientation discrimination to have a rule, policy or practice which someone of a particular sexual orientation is less likely to meet, and this places them at a disadvantage to people of a different sexual orientation.
If you think indirect sexual orientation discrimination might have occurred, you can make a complaint about it. Your first step should always be to contact Solidarity Union for advice and guidance. Solidarity Union stands against any discrimination against imembers and will help.
If you complain about sexual orientation discrimination, you shouldn't be victimised because you complained. This means that you shouldn't be treated unfairly just because you've made a complaint.
Making a complaint includes taking a case to court, going to an employment tribunal or standing up for your rights in some other way.
You can get protection if you are victimised because you've made a complaint about sexual orientation discrimination. You can also get protection from discrimination for helping someone else to make a complaint about sexual orientation discrimination, for example, by giving evidence as a witness in court.

Creating an at-home spa is an easy way to have the spa experience . . . without spending money or leaving the house. Plan a day of relaxation and treat your body, too.
Cue your favorite soothing tunes, light candles, and set up aromatherapy oil diffusers to establish ambience. Sit quietly in an oversize towel or fluffy robe, and enjoy some chamomile tea or citrus-infused water with your thoughts.
Prepare a facial steam by adding mint and lemon to a large pot and heating (but not boiling) water. Remove it from the stove, and create a towel tent over your head. Breathe in the steam, and relax for about five minutes. This provides nice meditation and opens pores in the process.
Follow up with gentle exfoliation with a product rich in alpha hydroxy acids — fruit acids that break down dirt and oil without harshness — like in the St. Ives Scrub-Free Exfoliating Pads. Then use the mild, skin-soothing St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Cleanser; its green tea reduces redness. Finish up with a product that offers long-lasting moisture such as St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer, which improves skin's elasticity.
Then hop in the shower and use a body polish like St. Ives Purifying Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Wash to give yourself an all-over scrub to remove dead skin cells. Beginning it as soon as your body gets wet, and before it's too hydrated, provides the smoothest results. After the shower, your freshly exfoliated skin will absorb moisturizers — from the shea-butter-rich St. Ives Naturally Indulgent Body Lotion or cocoa-butter-rich St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Lotion — like a dry sponge.

Westminster Council wants to make several cosmetic changes to Leicester Square to enhance its family appeal and stop its association with drinking.
But some people fear the plans could make the space too commercial.
A number of buildings surrounding the venue - the home of UK film premieres - have applied to be redeveloped into hotel and shop complexes.
Green Party Member of the London Assembly Jenny Jones told BBC News: "It's going to lose that peace and quiet and there will be logos absolutely everywhere.
"It's commercialisation of a public space and it's probably a really good fundraiser but I don't think it's going to do anything for Londoners' quality of life."
The central statue would be removed to make a bigger pedestrian area.
Planning permission has already been granted to turn the Equinox nightclub in the square into a casino which a council spokesman said will help with "regeneration".
He said an application had been submitted to turn the Swiss building into a hotel with shops below.
There are also plans to redevelop the Hippodrome in the venue which currently sees about 250,000 visitors each day.
'Boundless opportunities'
The leader of Westminster Council, Simon Milton, said the opportunities for sponsors were "boundless".
He said: "Leicester Square should be a stand alone attraction in its own right for visitors to London.
"The plans we have will transform the square into a centre of entertainment in the West End, playing host to performances and exhibitions throughout the year.
"No longer just a walkthrough, the square will become an identified venue around the world for a fun, family friendly environment."
The council hopes its sponsors will have been selected by November.

Study doubts worth of heart gene test
A US study has cast doubt on the value of testing for a certain genetic trait linked to heart disease to predict one's chances of illness.
A genetic abnormality on chromosome 9 raises the risk for heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions, and commercial tests for it are available to consumers.
But knowing if a woman has the abnormality does not improve cardiovascular illness prediction compared to typical risk factors, according to the study, which appears in the latest edition of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol levels, diabetes, family history of heart attack and C-reactive protein as an indicator of arterial inflammation.
"Once you already know the traditional risk factors, the additional information about the genetic variation doesn't help any. It doesn't improve your ability to predict," says lead author Nina Paynter of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
"It definitely suggests that as a population screening tool - to give it to everybody and add it to what we already know - the test for this trait by itself doesn't seem to have value."
Genetic tests increasingly are being developed to help people gauge their risk for various ailments, but the value of some such tests has been unclear.
Ten-year study
Paynter and colleagues tracked 22,129 US female doctors, nurses, dentists and other health care professionals of Caucasian background for 10 years. They determined which women had the chromosome 9 trait through blood samples given at the outset of the study.
The study confirmed that women with the trait had about a 25 to 32 per cent higher chance of getting cardiovascular disease, the researchers say.
But knowing a woman had the trait did not improve the ability to predict whether she had a low, medium or high risk for heart attack, stroke, death from cardiovascular disease or other cardiovascular illness, says Paynter.
Scientists have not yet pinpointed the specific gene related to the trait, she says.
Paynter adds that the study did not look at whether a certain targeted group of women might benefit from such testing for this particular trait.

While class syntax gives the most control over a React component, it's often more verbose than it needs to be.
Creating a functional component
A functional component is simple to define; it's just a function that returns a valid React element.
const MyComponent = () => (

This is my component.

Compared to the equivalent in class syntax, it's easy to see the appeal of this shorthand.
class MyComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (

This is my component.

Using props
Like class components, functional components can take props. Passing them in is identical.
<Nametag name="Noman" />
And they can be accessed as the first parameter.
const Nametag = ({name}) => (

{`Hi, my name is ${name}!`}

The downside to functional components
They're pretty much just a barebones
render function, so some of the neat things you can do with class components are off the table. No state, no refs, no lifecycle functions. Fox only, Final Destination.
While this may seem like a deal-breaker, the fact of the matter is that many React components end up never using these things, and use props as their sole source of data. This is especially true in applications utilizing Redux or Relay.

1974 Cadillac EldoradoReview
Well Built Pimpmobile, Love It — One does not buy this car for performance, it's all about the attention baby! To be large cars the 1971-78 Eldorados handled quite well. If buying one try to find one in great to good condition and just enjoy it. Restoration cost a lot and may not be worth it, because these aren't exactly collectables
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Pros: Get lots of attention, that smooth ride, it floats down the road , bulletproof engine/transmission, the SIZE!
Cons: 10-12 mpg, finding parts, the SIZE!
1974 Cadillac EldoradoReview
Great Fun In A Classic Convertible — This Eldorado convertible belonged to a dentist in Sherman Texas. He purchased new in 1974 from Young Motor Company for $10,000. It is white with red interior. Most of the original items are still on the car. It only has 50000 miles and drives like a dream. Only major problem is the carpet is beginning to age and some of the fuses have finally given out. This is the best car for crusing-I get more looks in this car than in any other car I have ever driven. The 8 track tape deck still works!
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Pros: Floats like a cloud-built like a tank-great acceleration
Cons: The cost of gasoline to fill up the gigantic tank
