S3 BLACKLIGHT: Nutanix Short Sellers Run out of Stock Borrows
Nutanix Inc (NTNX US) has seen its stock price rise and fall after its IPO launch on September 29th. The cloud networking and storage equipment maker's stock price recently climbed over $30 again, up 88%, from its $16 IPO price after several weeks of consolidating around the $24 to $29 price range.
Nutanix's stock price nearly tripled its IPO price on October 3rd, hitting $44.46, as analysts began predicted a strong fiscal 1st quarter would be reported on November 29th. With only the long side being able to participate in trading NTNX stock from September 29th to November 3rd, NTNX's stock price rose 178%, to $44.46.
Once the short sellers were able to borrow stock and get in the game, Nutanix's stock price began a steady downward decent until it hit its post-IPO low of $23.37 on November 7th. Short interest has climbed to $156 million dollars, barely a dent in Nutanix's $4.2 billion market cap but virtually all of Nutanix's stock borrow availability has been taken down.
There is only $10 to $15 million of stock left to borrow until short sellers will again be sitting on the sidelines watching long shareholders bid up Nutanix's stock price. Because a large chunk of Nutanix's stock is locked up or not in lending programs, there is very little short sellers can do except wait for the lockup expiry on March 29th, 2017. More stock may become available in the interim, but not in any significant size.
Stock borrow rates on existing short positions is around 9% fee and recent stock borrows for new shorts have ranged from 9% to 13% fee. We expect rates to continue to climb as the last stock borrow crumbs are taken down, with rates hitting the low teens by next week and climbing higher if short selling demand remains strong and desperate short sellers bid up stock borrow rates.
Nutanix is a prime example of a short squeeze waiting to happen. Stock borrow rates are already climbing as there is very little stock borrow inventory left on the street and longs will be able to bid up the stock price with no short selling in size to offset their buying pressure. Shorts will then have to endure a double whammy until lockup expiry in March – rising stock borrow fees increasing their cost basis and an increasing stock price pushing their P\L numbers further in the red.
If Nutanix's 1st quarter results beat estimates on November 29th we can expect not only a price spike due to longs bidding up the stock, but also shorts being squeezed and covering their positions. With its stock price already trending upwards for a week, a return to the $40's would not be surprising.

|THE TALENT HUNT BEGINS … Lawrence, (centre), chairing the organising committee meeting yesterday. The rest from right, are Yusof, Hasbullah, KH Tan and Junaidi.
"That's the reason why the tournament date for the qualifying round is not the same. This is to enable Milomir to have the opportunity to hunt for talents at all the venues," said Gimbang. Vice President II and Vice President III Datuk Yusof Kassim and KH Tan respectively were also present at the function, so as Assistant Secretary General I Junaidi Ahmad Fauzi and Executive Secretary Hasbullah Yahya. Lawrence also revealed that they have fixed the dates of the tournament for all the venues as well as the grand finals, which will be held in Kota Kinabalu.
Lawrence said they are also giving subsidies of RM2,000 for each competing team for the qualifying. An additional subsidy of between RM5,000 to RM8,000 will also be given to teams that make it into the grand finals. "The amount the teams receive for the grand finals will depend on the distance," said Gimbang, adding that the registration fee is RM100 per team. The deadline for registration is on August 16, at 12 noon. The winners of the grand finals stand to receive RM5,000, RM3,000 for the runners-up and RM2,000 for the third placed team.
A challenge trophy, trophy and medals are also to be given away to the champions and the same goes to the second and third placed teams. Touching a little on the rules and regulations of the tournament, Lawrence said each team is allowed to register five officials and 25 players. As for the players, each team must register 20 players under 21 years old while another five are for players between the ages of 22 to 27 with only two allowed at any time in a match.
Teams are also required to engage coaches, who possess at least a basic coaching certificate. Altogether, there will be 26 teams vying for honours, including invitational team Labuan. He also revealed that these teams have been drawn into eight groups with only the group winners making the grand finals. Tawau, Semporna and Kunak, who have been drawn in Group 1, will kick off the tournament. The qualifying date for the Group 1 has been set for October 1 to 3, and will be held at the Tawau Sports Complex field. Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu and Tongod are in Group 2.
The venue for the qualifying will be at the SMK Kinabatangan, and will be held from October 7 to 8. Group 3 comprises Sandakan, Beluran and Ranau. They will play their qualifying round from October 10 to 12 at the SMK Kebangsaan Telupid field. Kota Marudu, Kudat and Pitas, who were drawn in Group 4, will battle it out for the grand finals slot at the SMK Tandek field from October 17 to 19. Group 5 that comprises Tuaran, Kota Kinabalu and Kota Belud will play their qualifying matches at the Intan field in Tuaran from October 21-23, while Group 6 made up of Penampang, Papar and Putatan will play their matches at the Penampang Sports Complex from Oct 25 to 27.

In the 15 years I have worked with professionals on their presentation skills, I have discovered that there are very few of us for whom presenting comes naturally.
Most people dread making presentations, even those in senior management. Worse is that the 'audience' often dreads watching a presentation from an anxious presenter even more. That's because the presenter ends up so concerned about how they're coming across that they forget about the people listening. Their presentations are an arduous task and the way through it is to grit their teeth and get it over and done with as quickly as possible.
One of the key reasons why presentations fall flat is that 'presenting' is not seen as a key skill or job, and presenters rarely receive training. We tend to put much more emphasis on the content, forgetting that much of what an audience reacts to is non-verbal. Increasingly, we are asked to stand up and speak, underprepared, to share our knowledge, in front of colleagues, clients and total strangers.
So how can we make our presentations better?
Get inspired by actors
Actors train, rehearse and prepare to give a believable and compelling performance. The very nature of their job is terrifying for most people; remembering lines, dealing with difficult audiences as well as the fear of failure. However, the actor's 'toolbox' contains the tricks of their trade to over come nerves and perform efficiently.
I suggest that the two most important tools for ensuring a lively, engaging and relaxed presentation are:
- Preparation. Most people prepare their material. However, not many think about preparing themselves. Actors, musicians and athletes 'warm up' to achieve a top performance.
- Connecting with your audience. What do people need to be able to listen comfortably and take in the message? From writing to presenting, put yourself in the shoes of your audience. Focus on them; are they nodding, engaging you with questions, or looking as if they are waiting for a dental appointment?
- Practice. Once you have written your 'script' make friends with it. Practice not only makes perfect, it gives you confidence. Speak your presentation aloud, present it to a friend, practice in the car, or record and listen to it, keep going until you are sure of your message and what you want to achieve. Make it as succinct as possible.
- Remember to breathe! Fear causes 'nerves', which result in adrenaline creating a Fight or Flight response. In this state we are not in control. Whenever you think of your presentation, at home or work, take a moment to notice your breathing and get used to pausing with a few relaxed, deep breaths.
- Warm Up! Like you, actors experience nerves. Correct breathing is the most effective way to calm down and focus. Before you make a presentation (in your office, restroom, or wherever you can find a quiet corner), stand with your legs hip width apart, and arms hanging loose. Close your eyes, listen to the sounds around you and then bring your attention to your breathing. Take a deep breath in and hold it. Where are you holding your breath? Most people breathe into the upper chest, which causes our shoulders to tense and creates a fear reaction (adrenaline starves the brain of oxygen so we can't think straight.) Breath out. Open your eyes. Put your hand on your lower belly and slowly breathe into your 'belly'. As you breath in, allow your belly to expand. Then contract it to push the air out. Exaggerate this way of breathing, feeling your hand going up and down. Do this for a few minutes and feel your self becoming more focused. If you are relaxed, your audience will be relaxed. Without adrenaline, we can stay in the moment and be present with our thoughts and actions. So can the audience.
- Commit. No matter how dry the information is, if you are not committed to what you are saying, the audience won't be either. Commitment needs energy. Before the presentation, sing in the shower, listen to music that energises you, do a few jumping jacks, anything that makes you feel good. Get the endorphins pumping.
Make your presentation efficient and enjoyable with preparation
There are four things to remember about preparation:
Making the audience connection
The first connection the audience has with you is visual. Whether you are getting up from your seat, walking onto a podium or entering from the rear, what do they need to see to trust you? Even if you are sitting down, prepare yourself. Take a few deep belly breaths and relax your shoulders and focus. Walk tall to avoid the 'crumpled, mumbler' look. Keep in the moment and stay present so your thoughts don't race ahead of you. Take your time to make yourself comfortable, make sure you can see your notes easily.
Continue the connection: Make eye contact and smile.
Welcome your listeners with your eyes. Eye contact is the first step for engaging with your audience. It removes the fear barrier, making you and them feel comfortable. Take a moment just to 'be' before you speak.
Now you are ready to present!
One final tip: I am sure you have heard the phrase 'Death by Power Point.' I would like to add another: 'Death by the Lectern'.
Standing behind the lectern immediately puts a barrier between your audience and yourself. Stand to the side of it; you can still bend the microphone towards you. If you have to stand behind the lectern, do not slump as slumping restricts breathing and makes you look bored. The lectern is only there to prop up your notes.

Thursday March 1
Dominion's application for a special use permit was denied by a 4-1 vote!
Read the press coverage:
Meeting Materials
Past meetings
Thursday, February 1st
Meeting was not able to be legally open for public comment, so the application was tabled again until March 1 when public comments can again be accepted.
Thursday, January 4th
After hearing from 50 speakers in addition to almost 60 emails, Dominion's request was tabled until the February 1st meeting so the board could fully consider the public input.
Agents for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) are seeking permission to get a special use permit to construct a 34-acre construction materials yard near Churchville at the intersection of Scenic Highway (Rt. 42) and Union Church Road. Dominion's plan is to clear and level the existing farmland in order to stockpile pipe, fuel tanks, sand bags, silt fencing, equipment parts, etc. and to provide parking for construction equipment, employee trucks, and office trailers. If approved this would be the staging area for a significant area of ACP construction in western Virginia for 2 years!
Here are just a few reasons why we should turn out as a community and ask that the BZA deny this application:
- Think about this lovely rural setting and imagine the amount of heavy truck and equipment traffic fanning out in every direction along these narrow country roads on a 24/7 basis.
- Consider how this will affect the area's water quality with every rain and snow event creating sediment runoff and with the amount of leaking, dripping fuel from vehicles and equipment.
- Visualize how the farmland will look with stacks of 40-foot long, 42-inch diameter pipe and a row of portable toilets.
- And, as usual, Dominion has pulled a switcheroo – this is not even the location of the pipe yard that Dominion submitted to FERC for approval.
The above reasons as well as concern from VDOT that the location doesn't meet site distance (and therefore they don't recommend approval), the concern from the county that the project doesn't meet county code for a rural setting because the applicant doesn't live on site, and that this is legally incompatible with the rural conservation zoning of the area are all sound and logical reasons why this application should not be approved.
Further, there are so many questions that Dominion has not answered about the site. For starters there is no traffic count analysis to know exactly what the increased volume of heavy trucks and equipment traveling these narrow country roads will be. There is no materials list to know what hazardous products might be stored on site (such as blasting materials), and there is no stormwater management or erosion and sediment control analysis, something that the State Water Control Board is also waiting for in regard to the ENTIRE route in Virginia.
These and additional concerns were submitted to the BZA by Augusta County Alliance at the conclusion of the February 1st meeting.

The ubiquitous Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) is a globally distributed perching bird. It's original range was in Eurasia but was introduced to Southeast Asia where it is a commensal with humans. It has modified its behaviour and life history to exploit human habitations. Where humans build their houses, the birds thrive.
But that was when people had some gardens with their houses. The bird has been declining in numbers in much of Europe . In England, populations have crashed by 90% prompting calls to put the birds on the national endangered species list.
In Europe the birds are largely rural rather than urban. Changes in farming practices are regarded as the main reason why populations have crashed. The birds need hay and winter stubble to make it through northern Europe's cold winters. Farmers left stubble when they sow in Spring. Since many farmers have shifted to autumn sown crops (partly due to warming winters), the birds lost a food resource. Another factor is agricultural specialization and the overuse of pesticides. While the birds are largely seed eaters, they shift to insect prey when they breed.
In the Philippines where the birds are primarily urban, we have noticed a declining population especially in Metro Manila for the last 5 years. We estimate the decline at 30-40%. It could be that the declining area of greenspaces and gardens in the city are responsible for the decline. Metro Manila is developing skywards (with skyscrapers) and this may affect the birds. Birdwatchers say that it was Makati City (most urbanized in the Metro) that first showed fewer and fewer sparrows.
However another hypothesis has been proposed. The birds are declining since they no longer can stand the urban heat! As the climate becomes warmer, the birds are stressed, can't nest and thus their populations decline.
Nonetheless whatever the reason for their decline, the tree sparrow is becoming the proverbial canary in the coal mine for urbanites. The decline of the birds should be a warning.
The birds figure so much in the popular imagination and culture. The birds have been the metaphor for the poor and downtrodden from the time of Jesus Christ to today.
Simon and Garfunkel's poignant song "Sparrow" may represent the bird's plight
"Who will love a little Sparrow?
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?"
"Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all I've created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be"

In 2003, my boyfriend's family and I packed up their GMC van, and headed to Toronto, with the hopes of me becoming your first Canadian Idol. We came prepared to spend the night in a parking lot, with a cooler packed, and nothing but high hopes of me making it to the finals.
The crazy part wasn't the fact that I decided to try out for the competition, or that I was willing to do whatever it took to get myself in the audition line… it was the confidence that I had, and the expectation that I would be successful, regardless of how many people showed up with the same dream as me. I remember telling my boss at the time that they would probably have to be prepared to work around my schedule as I got closer to the finals. Wow!
Looking back, it wasn't an arrogant or conceited approach, but rather, a confidence that basically said "Why not?" Why couldn't I be the first Canadian Idol? Why wouldn't I be successful?
Over the years I have encountered moments of failure, and had times where I have doubted what I am capable of. As the years pass by it has become easy to doubt, and lose the confidence that I can see in that younger version of myself.
Lately I have been challenging myself to look at life through the confidence that I once had. I have been challenging myself to say "why not?" more often, and take on an attitude that I am capable of doing a lot more then I give myself credit for. The reality is that when I was 17 I had all the confidence in the world, and the God factor wasn't even on my radar- so how much more am I capable of when I have Him, plus a healthy confidence?
Hebrews 10:35 says "Do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward." (ESV)
It isn't the easiest thing to do, but I am choosing to be confident, even in the moments when I don't necessarily feel like it. I am choosing to not let my confidence get away from me, just because I have messed up, or not always been successful. I am choosing to say "why not?' and take a step of faith when I feel unworthy.
And most importantly, as the years go by, I am asking God, "Why didn't I make it to the finals? And, what did Ryan Malcom have, that I didn't?" :)

Orissa: 'Most backward' block goes solar
Recognised as one of the country's 10 most backward blocks in the country, Bandhugaon in Koraput district of Orissa has now something to cheer about. At least 24 revenue villages and hamlets in this inaccessible and Maoist-hit block have got solar electricity.
"It's heartening to inform you that 24 villages and hamlets in the inaccessible areas of Bandhugaon blocks have been equipped with solar streetlights. People in the block can utilise electricity for their day-today needs and watch television shows," Koraput district collector Jaya Kumar V told reporters on Monday.
Situated amid dense forests and bordering Andhra Pradesh, the Red-hit block consists of 150 revenue villages and 181 hamlets.
"It was not easy task to execute the work in the remote pockets as no contractor was willing to do so due to presence of Maoists. A prolonged struggle by the administration made it possible," the collector said.
The district administration had on August 4 had launched a special development drive named Operation Blue Moon in Bandhugaon and Narayanpatna blocks, through which villagers' demand for various projects like piped water supply, electrification of villages, healthcare facilities and pucca roads among others were listed. Soon, initiatives were made to expedite execution of those works.
"From the very beginning, the administration was committed to electrify the entire Badhugaon block within a time frame. I am thankful to the technical staff of Southco and other officials concerned who worked sincerely to ensure that one of the most backward blocks is electrified," the collector said.
Since 2014, the Union government has included Bandhugaon block among the 10 most backward tribal blocks of the country.

Based on what Paphitis, your fantasies?
Based on the quality of players and the standard of the A League which is far superior to the Greek and Cypriot First Division.
Also based on the fact that there are Australian Players in just about all the pro leagues of Europe. Over 300 in fact and some are worth a shitload and play in the top leagues such as EPL, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Turkish Leagues etc
Also based on the fact that the Australian Team do not play as many games. When they do, they mix it with the best of South America, Asia and Europe and have won a lot of games against top quality opponents such as Brazil whereas Cyprus would get hammered all the time.
Also based on the fact that I do not believe Greece has the mental toughness to play against Australia and survive.
Also based on the fact I believe that Australia would defeat many countries ranked higher, including the US and Greece.
Just as I suspected… hallucinations!
Now I'm gonna introduce you to a different kind of ranking… the league rankings where Australia's league wouldn't even rank 100th!

As you can see, even though our national team sucks, our league is pretty good.

This week at Creative Corner the theme for the challenge is Party Time.
I wrapped red ribbon round the layer half of paper from DCWV and twine around the right hand side, after which I matted and layered it onto red core'dination cardstock and white card.
The image is from a House Mouse Happy Days set of stamps from Joanna Sheen. I coloured it using Promarkers, used a punch to round the corners and dusted the edges using distress ink. I then matted it onto red core'dinations cardstock and attached it to the card. Finally I added three red buttons to the design.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Penny Black and More - anything goes
ABC - ribbon,dies/punches/blue
Passion For Promarkers - all the trimmings
House Mouse and Friends - button/ribbon/twine
Creative Fingers - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - animal magic
Addicted To Stamps and More - make your mark
Tuesday Throwdown - for a child
Crafty Creations - it takes two
Crafty Sentiments Designs - anything goes

Kristen Wiig's Hateship, Loveship co-star Sami Gayle has revealed that the actress frequently broke out her Saturday Night Live characters on their film's set.
Wiig exited Saturday Night Live in May 2012, after seven years of playing popular characters like the Target Lady, Surprise Sue and Judy Grimes.
Speaking to Page Six, Gayle revealed that Wiig used those characters to alleviate tension while shooting Hateship, Loveship.
"We would be quiet, and she would do the little awkward jiggly dance from when she played the Target Lady or Sue," Gayle recalled.
The actress added: "It was hilarious!"
Hateship, Loveship stars Wiig, Hailee Steinfeld, Guy Pearce and Nick Nolte in the story of a teenage girl who sets her father up with variety of women.
The movie - which is directed by Return's Liza Johnson - is expected to open later this year.

What is Provincial Tax?
In Canada, every individual needs to pay provincial or territorial income tax in addition to the federal income tax. The laws and policies for these taxes are developed by the provincial governments.
Provincial Tax in detail
The federal government collects the provincial tax through CRA for all provinces. So, the taxpayer makes one combined payment. The federal government then sends the received amount to the provincial government. The exception to this rule is Quebec, which has an independent tax system.
Provincial Tax rates
Each province has its own number of tax slabs and rates. For example, British Columbia has six tax slabs ranging from 5.06% on the first $37,606 of income to 16.8% for income above $150,000. The provinces of New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, and Yukon have four tax slabs. Manitoba and Saskatchewan have three tax slabs. A notable exception is Alberta with a flat rate of 10% of taxable income, irrespective of income. Based on the province, the provincial tax rate can be in the range of 5.05% to 17.4%. So if you are earning $20,000 in Ontario, you will have to pay federal tax at 15% and Ontario tax at 5.05% of $20,000.
Provincial Tax Credits
Similar to federal taxes, taxpayers are eligible for tax credits on provincial taxes. Almost all provinces offer standard credits such as basic personal amount. Also available are other credits, which are similar to federal credits. These include age amount, disability amount, caregiver amount as well as credits on pension income and contributions to CPP or EI.
The amounts of these credits differ from federal amounts. For instance, the basic personal amount from the federal government is $11,138. While the personal amount is $9,869 in British Columbia, $9670 in Ontario, $9,134 in Alberta, etc. So, a resident of British Columbia earning up to $9,670 does not have to pay either provincial or federal tax. On an income between $9,670 and $11,138, the taxpayer will have to pay only provincial tax. On any income above $11,138, there is a credit available, which is a percentage of the lowest tax rate in both these taxes.
Let's take an example of a resident of British Columbia earning $15,000. This taxpayer will get a federal tax credit of $1,670 or 15% of $11,138 (15% is the minimum tax rate of the federal government). On the provincial front, this person will get a tax credit of around $499 or 5.06% of $9,670 (5.06% is the lowest tax rate charged by the provincial government of British Columbia.) So from the combined tax liability, there will be a deduction of $2169.
Apart from the standard credits, there are also credits specific to each state. Some of these include foreign tax credit, political contribution credit, tax on split income, logging tax credit, mineral exploration tax credit, etc.
How does Provincial Tax affect your tax?
Provincial taxes lead to additional taxation apart from the federal taxes. You can calculate the provincial tax due on your income using the tax calculator (please select the appropriate province).

Quickeners, 2014
HD video installation with original soundtrack
Courtesy KÖNIG GALERIE
Set 500 years in the future, Quickeners tells the story of Human Atavism Syndrome (H.A.S.), an obscure disorder afflicting a tiny portion of the Quantum Human population, making them desire and feel as their Human Being predecessors once did. A species wirelessly interconnected to The Hive, Quantum Humans have evolved to operate solely on pure rational thought and they have achieved immortality. Quickeners is set against a cinéma vérité aesthetic, reworking archival documentary footage from a gathering of Pentecostal Christian snake handlers to illustrate the story. As the film unfolds, an authoritative Quantum Human narrator comments on what we witness: indecipherable testimonials, sermons, songs, prayers, convulsive dancing, speaking-in-tongues, serpent handling and ecstatic states that Quantum Humans define as "Quickening."
Incorporating elements of science fiction, ethnographic survey, neuroscience and belief systems, Quickeners collates these disparate themes into a succinct whole to discuss varying notions of evolutionary progress with clinical indifference. This alchemical fusion suspends disbelief of the fantastic situation by its use of familiar, outmoded technology, meticulous audio editing and subtitles. As the work builds to a cathartic climax of media techniques and special effects─caught in limbo between ritual documentary and music video─the Quantum Humans surrender to this evolutionary throwback of perceived biological transcendence, while the film attempts to incite a similar phenomenological response in the viewer.

An LED is a light-emitting diode. LEDs consist of a
semiconductor diode that emits light when a voltage is applied to it.
LED technology has been used for several decades as indicator lights for
electronic devices and now is useful in lighting technology.
LEDs are historically popular with architectural
highlighting. Red, Green, and blue LEDs are commonly used for traffic
lights and exit signs. Currently, the LED has evolved and can be used in
indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures.
LEDs have not always been used for general lighting. Experts
have tested and created LEDs to ensure that lumen-per-watt ratio is at
least as good as existing technology and that the color quality meets
industry standards. The lighting industry can now offer products for
general illumination, indoor and outdoor lighting.
LED technology is rapidly evolving, showing significant
promise in efficiency, color consistency, color quality, and in the
ability to produce more reliable light over time. As the technology
improves, the ways that LEDs can be used for general illumination is
expected to expand.
High efficiency and durability are the most pronounced
benefits of using LED lights. Longer lifespan and low maintenance helps
you save energy and money as you invest in LEDs for your lighting needs.
Efficacy applies to input and output of units. We measure the
amount of light (lumens) produced by a certain amount of electricity
(in watts). Efficiency refers to the ratio of the total lumens released
from a fixture to the total lumens produced by a light source.
Evaluating an LED product can seem complex. One must consider
the overall system efficiency, optical control, thermal management, and
luminosity, and at what point in time the fixture will reach 30 percent
lumen depreciation.
Coal-fired power generation accounts for roughly 40 percent of the mercury emissions in the U.S.
The department of energy concluded in its solid-state
lighting (SSL) commercial product testing program:
"Until the field of SSL technologies and supporting knowledge matures,
any claims regarding performance of SSL luminaires should be based on
overall luminaire efficacy (i.e., from testing of the entire luminaire,
including LEDs, drivers, heat sinks, optical lenses and housing), to
avoid misleading buyers and causing long-term damage to the SSL market."
Junction temperature is the temperature at the point where an
individual diode connects to its base. Maintaining a low junction
temperature increases output and slows LED lumen depreciation. Junction
temperature is a key metric for evaluating an LED product's quality and
ability to deliver long life.
The three things affecting junction temperature are: drive
current, thermal path, and ambient temperature. In general, the higher
the drive current, the greater the heat generated at the die. Heat must
be moved away from the die in order to maintain expected light output,
life, and color. The amount of heat that can be removed depends upon the
ambient temperature and the design of the thermal path from the die to
the surroundings.
The department of energy advises: "Heat management and an
awareness of the operating environment are critical considerations to
the design and application of LED luminaires for general illumination.
Successful products will use superior heat sink designs to dissipate
heat, and minimize junction temperature. Keeping the junction
temperature as low as possible and within manufacturer specifications is
necessary in order to maximize the performance potential of LEDs."
LEDs release heat that has built up inside a fixture, using a
low junction temperature and innovative engineering. The heat flows out
through a heat pipe assembly which can preserve the life of your LED.
Some products releases warm air while circulating cooler air through the
fixture using airflow convection technology. Look for products that
assist in saving heat and helping you save money.
An LEDs lifespan is measured by lumen depreciation because
most LED light sources will decrease in light output over time rather
than burning out like other technologies. Some LEDs can burn out but
most just grow dim over time. The industry measures the decrease of
light output (lumen depreciation) to inform consumers of the amount
light to be emitted from an LED fixture or bulb.
The Illuminating Engineering
Society's (IES) current standard recommends that lifetime of LED lights
be based on the point where the product loses 30 percent of its initial
light output. This is called the L70, meaning the estimated point where
the LED light produces only 70 percent of its initial light output.
There are other industry methods for estimating lifetime that take other
things into consideration but this is the most widely accepted.
LED lifespan refers to the point at
which it has reached 30 percent lumen depreciation. At 50,000 hours an
LED burns on a decreased lumen output.
24 hours a day, 5.7 years
18 hours per day, 7.4 years
8 hours per day, 17.1 years

West Brom take on Stoke on Sunday 27th August, 2017, with kickoff at 13:30. This match is currently being shown LIVE on Sky Sports.
This game is between the team Tony Pulis used to manage, and the one the Welshman leads today, and for that reason alone you may be forgiven for thinking it might not be that good of a watch. Without meaning to demean the baseball capped-one, his style of football could loosely be described as 'crap and dangerous', which is hardly a good omen.
Of course Mark Hughes took over at Stoke, and has started to turn them back into a football team, but don't be surprised if some of the team revert to type at the sight of their old boss.
West Brom v Stoke is LIVE on Sky Sports.

Life has been hectic for us all, but with the help of R.U.D.I. (Referential Universal Digital Indexer) the WO's computer, July's list is done. The numbers have been crunched, the ties have been broken, and now it's up for you to enjoy.
1. (1) Kristen Bell – Once again, Kristen has a tight grasp on the number one spot. Once again, she blew all the other competition out of the water. What more can be said about her? It's been proven time and time again, that Kristen Bell is the W.O. "it" girl of the year… so far.
2. (2) Elisha Cuthbert – Another month removed from Sean Avery, and another month in the number two slot. Buford recently watched Old School again, and was quite impressed. With a few projects in production and in post-production, we're willing to bet she'll be near the top for awhile.
3.(3) Jennifer Love Hewitt – Holding on strong in the number three spot once again, JLH remains in our minds and hearts. Ghost Whisperer still makes it on TV, and she is executive producing and voicing a character for the upcoming animated series, Angry Little Girls. The girl is keeping busy.
4.(5) Katherine Heigl – Another romantic comedy in the works. Go figure. Heigl moves up a slot. Although some at the WO feel that Knocked Up is a tad overrated, she was in it, and a few of us watched it again recently.
5.(4) Olivia Munn – Down a spot, but don't fret Olivia. We still love you. I'm sure we'll love you even more when The Slammin' Salmon comes out. You know how we love Broken Lizard movies.
6.(9) Mandy Moore – Taking a huge leap up the list. We'll maybe not huge, but she moves a few spots. Who knew Mandy was a UFC fan? That's pretty sexy. Also, it doesn't hurt that this video was brought to our attention. Click Here For Link Thank you Smash on Yahoo! Music for making this HOT cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" possible. Shut up. It's good.
7.(7) Keira Knightley – Miss Number Seven. She pulled into the seven slot in May, and hasn't left since. What's ahead for Keira? More period pieces. She's most likely the only reason any of us would even consider sitting through them. God bless you for making us all cultured.
8.(8) Blake Lively – Holding strong in the number eight slot is Buford's discovery. If I'm going under the bus for the Mandy Moore video, then he goes under for being an avid Gossip Girl watcher.
9.(6) Megan Fox – Taking a dive, Megan switches spots with Mandy. It happens from time to time. We haven't seen her in awhile, but I don't see her dropping off the list next month. She's in Whore with Ron Jeremy and a Transformers sequel. If that isn't geek cred, well I just don't know what is.
10.(NR) Gracyanne Barbosa – Climbing back out of the bubble and sending Vida Guerra down, Gracyanne pulls through with big news. She has been reupped as a Carnaval Queen. At least that's what our Brazilian informants have told us. I can't read the link, but maybe you can. Click Here For Link
And once again the list comes to a close. Vida Guerra, as mentioned before, finds her way into the bubble. The company remains good down there with Lingerie Football League player Reby Sky, Mila Kunis and Jessica Alba. There are also some new comers to the bubble including Julia Stiles, Anne "Agent 99" Hathaway and Cynthia "I'm getting half of everything" Rodriguez.
We'll see you next month, and don't be afraid to leave a comment. Let us know how you feel about the list. Who's missing? Who shouldn't be there? You know the drill.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — As the former St. Michael's rectory continued its slow and stately procession across the parking lot near where the town's new library will stand, 14 interested parties attended a pre-bid construction conference held Tuesday at the site.
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — As the former St. Michael's rectory continued its slow and stately procession across the parking lot near where the town's new library will stand, 14 interested parties attended a pre-bid construction conference held Tuesday at the site.
The library project is one that has been contemplated for a number of years, but only when notified that St. Michael's Church was being closed did plans coalesce.
The former church will be renovated into a library with an 1,800-square-foot addition.
"The road to getting a new library in South Berwick has been a long one," Town Manager Perry Ellsworth said. "The movement of the rectory was the first critical part, as a portion of the new addition will rest within its foundation. The rectory movement will be completed this week."
Time-phased satellite photos looking at the town of South Berwick would show the St. Michael's rectory making what looks like the L-shaped movement of a knight on a chess board.
The rectory was purchased for $1 by local contractor and abutter Russell Tarason, who is shouldering almost the entire expense of moving the building from its current location to its new home a few hundred feet away, on a piece of land behind a house on 229 Main St.
Tarason has made no decision regarding the building's future use. A combination of commercial use on the main floor with apartments above is under consideration, but at this point plans are hazy.
"I have been concentrating on getting it moved," he said.
As to why he decided to pursue the acquisition, however, he was very clear: "I don't like seeing buildings razed. This is an 1890s building, with beautiful hardwood floors and a fireplace. I think buildings like that are important to save. There are a lot of memories associated with it; there's a rich history there."
The removal and re-use of the former rectory extends the life of a solidly built structure that many town residents were loath to have dismantled. It also shaves a considerable chunk off the cost of the library as a whole. Ellsworth estimated that the cost of dismantling the rectory could have been as high as $60,000, since asbestos remediation would have been required. For a town struggling with budgetary concerns, that additional cost could have checkmated the project.
The rectory resolution clears the path — literally — for the library project to begin once a contractor is selected. That endeavor moved forward incrementally Tuesday afternoon, when the entire project was covered in-depth and potential bidders had the opportunity to ask specific questions. Bids packages are due by July 18, when they will be opened publicly and read aloud.
"This was a mandatory meeting," Ellsworth said. "Only those at the meeting will be able to submit bid packages. It is realistically the starting point of the bid process where everyone sees and hears the same game plan for construction."
Ellsworth was authorized by the Town Council to sign a contract with JCJ Architecture for $43,750, for bidding, negotiating and construction services.
Ellsworth stated that the town hopes to use as many local contractors as possible, and said that the 14 interested contractors ranged from Portland to New Hampshire.
"It is the intention that the work will begin on or about Aug. 15 and will be completed no later than Dec. 31," Ellsworth said.
It will cost approximately $1.8 million to$1.9 million to complete the construction phase of the library project. Available funds for the project are $1.67 million, sourced by a 10-year bond. The nonprofit group Friends of the South Berwick Library is in the midst of a campaign to raise more than $1 million to fund the "soft" items for the library, such as bookcases, carpeting and tables.
"The hard work of citizens, the council, Friends of the Library, the building committee, and staff is moving in a positive direction for all to enjoy in South Berwick. I am excited to have the opportunity to be part of the process," Ellsworth said.

Naren scores Mammootty film
All the stars of Classmates are now graduating to starring with superstars. Jayasurya is going to act with Mohanlal in his new film. Now, its Naren's turn.
Naren was Sunil when he made his debut in films. He shifted his attention to Tamil even though his popularity was immense in Malayalam. Then came the name change. He returned to Malayalam as Naren in Achuvinde Amma. His next film, Classmates created records at the box office.
Orey Kadal is the name of the new film that Shyamprasad is going to make. Mammooty is going to be the lead hero in the film. For the first time, Meera Jasmine stars with him. Naren is the second hero of the film. This is Naren's first ever film with the Malayalam Superstar.
Unconfirmed sources claim that Meera Jasmine will be Naren's heroine in this film. In that case another actress is likely to step in as Mammooty's heroine.

Screenplay character development tips. They are what everyone wants to know about. "I have this incredible idea for a script, but how do I make my characters feel real?" Here are some great little screenplay character development tips / hacks that most writers don't use.
I consider it essential, and it helps me crack the motivations of my characters wide open. So, in essence, it is a hack. I use… the Enneagram. Without going into a history lesson, the Enneagram is a personality type grading system, along the lines of Meyers-Briggs, or even — gulp — astrology.
So, let's dive into my personal strategy on how to write a character that feels "real".
My #1 Screenplay Character Development Tips
The central conceit of the Enneagram is that there are nine basic types of people, therefore, everyone who takes the test is assigned a "type" on a scale from one to nine — Reformer, Helper, Achiever, Individualist, Investigator, Loyalist, Enthusiast, Challenger and Peacemaker… respectively.
But it gets more complex. It gets so much more complex…
Each of the nine types also has a "wing." That is, a seven is either a seven-eight, or a seven-six. Seven-eights are different from seven-sixes because one Enthusiast is more of a Challenger of people while the other is more of a Loyalist to them.
Now Your Script Character Has 18 Possible Types
But it breaks down further. Each type also has a tendency. Just because two people are Seven-Sixes, doesn't mean they are the same. It means they are similar. Each of the eighteen subtypes also has instinctual variants they use to feel protected: Self-preservation, Relational, and Social.
Immediately, your character development writing now has fifty-four specific subtypes of people, in a pyramid-like scheme, showing in what ways they are different. But there's more, and it's the most important part…
The Enneagram supposes that there are nine "levels" that people exist on. That is, on Level One, they are their best selves, whereas at Level Nine, they are their worst. As one would expect, someone at Level Nine of one subtype is homicidal, while someone at Level Nine of another subtype, is suicidal.
It comes down to what a specific person tends to do as they hit their breaking point. Some people could never harm another, while some could never go through with suicide, but the truth is we never know what we are capable of until we reach true rock bottom.
Screenplay Character Development Writing Made Easy
Thanks to the Enneagram, we KNOW how our characters would react in those situations. For example, want to write a villain hell-bent on world-destruction, yet make his motivation seem real?
Start at Level Nine of each subtype and work your way up. How could this villain have gotten here, really? How can we make it plausible. As you can see, the Enneagram isn't only effective with character work, it can even be used to find plot points.
So, with fifty-four subtypes and nine levels based upon a state being, you are looking at FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX potential jumping off points for any character you create.
This is why I love the Enneagram. It may not be scientific, but it is realistic. And, as writers, we don't need scientific proof that the system works… we only need it to feel real, and the Enneagram does just that.
When starting any screenplay, I take the Enneagram test in the voice of my main protagonist and every one of my major characters. I also read up (although at this point I have it memorized) on the type, and sub-type.
I then look at another Enneagram book I have and make a note of what Level I think my character lives his/her life at. Then I note where I want to take them… and I figure out how to get them there.
The Enneagram Is The Best Tool For Script Character Development
This is because it offers real traits and motivations of personality types. Then it gets more specific with sub-types. And on and on.
I suggest visiting enneagraminstitute.com for more information, as well as looking on sites like Amazon for additional Enneagram materials. They are worth their weight in gold, and I know the Enneagram site itself, is free. Check it out.
You should immediately see what I mean about the system being "motive-based." And what are our characters, if not motivated? Two-dimensional and fictitious.
These character development tips may not tell you all you need to know on how to write a character, but they will push you in the right direction to making sure your characters get a "solid" in the next set of script coverage notes you get.

Thermodynamic modeling by the calphad method and its applications to innovative materials
Thermodynamic modeling by the calphad method and its applications to innovative materials - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 Chatillon - ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab
Abstract : Among the different steps leading to a multi-scale lifetime prediction for aero-engine components and other industrial components, one seems to be apart from the other mechanical engineering concerns: thermodynamic and microstructural modeling. Here is given an introduction to the CALPHAD method 19, 27, explaining how it actually models the thermodynamic properties of multicomponent systems. Then, a number of applications are described, while emphasizing the relevance of using the CALPHAD method for the purpose of developing integrated engineering methods. Finally, the importance of building thermodynamic databases creates a high need for the development of ab initio calculations, as well as high-throughput experiments and, generally speaking, combinatorial materials science.

Alas! the cursor is blinking

how i love to cast away the time when i am supposed to write
but maybe this is my writing style, to cast away, to come back, to write some words and to cast away again. Every Samuria has a sword holding style, and a fundamental point in writing is to create not the writing style per se, but the writing style in essence.
yes back to work now, i have a good idea!

El Al airplanes sit on the runway Photo: Ronen Zvulun / ReutersA criminal court in Limassol, Cyprus, on Thursday sentenced Hezbollah operative Hossam Taleb Yaacoub to ??? four years ??? in prison for plotting to kill Israeli tourists on the small island. The prison sentence wraps up a criminal process that began last July when Yaacoub was arrested.
The Jerusalem Post has learned that he has ten days to appeal his conviction. Yaacoub admitted that he observed Israeli flights land in Cyprus and documented the movements of Israelis and locations where they stayed.Related:
The conviction of Yaacoub may add greater urgency to the EU talks to include Hezbollah in its terror list. EU countries such as Austria and Germany have blocked a listing of Hezbollah because of insufficient legal evidence showing Hezbollah engages in terrorism. The Cyprus conviction represents the first conviction of a Hezbollah member in a European court.
Twenty four-year-old Yaacoub is a Swedish-Lebanese citizen who used France and the Netherlands as locations to carry out work for Hezbollah, according to his testimony at the trial. He was convicted on five of eight criminal charges. Yaacoub was arrested just days before an alleged Iran-Hezbollah operation blew up an Israeli tour bus in Bulgaria.
Two alleged Hezbollah operatives participated in the bombing of a tour bus in the Black Sea resort of Burgas in July 2012, which killed five Israelis and their Bulgarian bus driver. The suspects are believed to be in Lebanon. Both Hezbollah operatives used European locations to carry out their terror attack, including travelling through Poland and Romania.
The then-Bulgarian interior minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, announced in February that Hezbollah operatives had been responsible for the Burgas attack. Tsvetanov said the two suspected Burgas perpetrators "were members of the militant wing of Hezbollah" and added that investigators had found information "showing the financing and connection between Hezbollah and the two suspects."
France has resisted including Hezbollah in the EU terror list because it fears that it will lose diplomatic leverage in Lebanon. The Netherlands lists Hezbollah's entire organization as a terror entity. The United Kingdom labels Hezbollah's military wing as terrorist group.
Maybe we should label Europe a terrorist organization and get it over with.

As of yesterday morning we've all started paying the NDP carbon levy. According to my unscientific calculations, it could cost us living in rural Alberta over $100 a month extra! I'm looking forward to applying for the rebate. I expect that most rural Albertans will be eligible for a full rebate, after all we do not have the luxury of public transit and services "around the corner"! We have to use our vehicles to get around!
Next year at this time it will be interesting to hear our Premier's report as to the success of the new sales tax on fuel in the province. I wonder if she'll mention the following;
- Most of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere comes from volcanoes which are exempt from the NDP tax.
- Alberta is responsible for less than 2% of the man-made carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.
- There is no suitable replacement available for fossil fuels, and likely won't be for many years to come.
- The simplest and easiest carbon dioxide recovery system are plants, especially trees!
- More and more states in the world are giving up on carbon taxes in favor of other more sensible ways of curbing carbon dioxide emissions or recovering carbon dioxide..
