What drama are you creating?
BY YOLANDA BEATTIE
Who's getting caught up in COVID-19 inspired drama? Whenever we have a good rant, project catastrophising stories about what might happen or get sucked into a blame vortex, it's likely we're stuck in an unhelpful drama of our own scripting.
In times of crisis – or even mild irritation - the vast majority of us follow this well-worn path below the line. It's totally normal. But it's also limiting. When we're in the drama triangle, we contract as humans and impair our ability to learn, connect and generally feel good. It keeps us small.
Understanding the drama triangle
First conceived by Stephen Karpman in the late 1960s as a tool for psychotherapy, the drama triangle explains what happens when we're in conflict with others and ourselves.
In all dramas, there are three roles – victim, hero and villain. The victim is the person feeling helpless, hopeless, ashamed, oppressed, hurt etc. They are at the effect of their personal circumstances. Life is happening to them. It could be the weather, your boss, the kids, the traffic, a pandemic or any other occurrence in life that bothers you. In that mode you feel powerless.
The villain is the person who is blamed for the victim's plight. We might blame another person, a group of people, or ourselves.
The final character in this tale is the hero who sweeps into the drama, offering temporary relief with platitudes or band aids that avoid and therefore don't solve the underlying issue. That old analogy of teaching someone how to fish instead of feeding them fish applies here.
We can also hero ourselves by eating or drinking mindlessly, or getting lost on social media as a way to reward a tough day. When we do, we're avoiding getting present to what was hard about today.
All roles are a form of victim consciousness and we often rotate through the roles. The trick is noticing when they arise and choosing to shift.
Here's one of my recent triangles that you might find familiar:
"I can't believe we can only meet in groups of 2, how am I going to get through this? [tears, tears and more tears] Those bloody Bondi backpackers. I need some wine. And some more carrot cake. And then I'm going to numb out on Netflix."
Choosing to shift
The Conscious Leadership Group offers three alternative roles that we can shift to by being present to the drama we're currently making. In presence, the victim becomes the creator who takes 100% responsibility for everything in their lives and stops complaining. The villain becomes the challenger who brings healthy pressure to the creator to support them without blame and criticism. And the hero becomes the coach and stops trying to fix people and situations, instead supporting everyone to get above the line.
Now let's be clear, I'm still drifting to and from these various forms of victim consciousness ALL THE TIME. But I'm working at feeling the emotions as they rise so they can pass through me. From there, I take full responsibility for how I'm responding and let go of blaming others so I can coach myself to own my stuff. When I do, I meditate more, exercise more and eat / drink less…well at least I do the latter more mindfully.

Tête-à-l'Eau, Banane, localité Bota,
Here is a picture of the localityTête-à-l'Eau, Banane in Bota, Haiti. It is an area targeted to provide housing for the Haitians arriving from the Dominican Republic.
This image was provided thanks to Mr. Maxo JOSEPH who went to Tête-à-l'Eau, Banane, localité Bota to see the progress as the Haitian Government promised to welcome more than tree thousand people.
Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants in the D.R of whom most were Haitians or people of Haitian descent failed to register themselves within the Dominican deadline on June 17, 2015. Some human rights activists have called for an extension of this deadline. Many undocumented immigrants stood in the long lines outside the government offices for days, but were turned away repeatedly as they were told they lack necessary documents. Many of them could not come back as they could not convince their employers to give them time off of work to go register. As per the report of the Interior and Police minister Jose Ramon Fadul, so far 275,000 undocumented foreigners (about 50% of the total undocumented immigrants in the D.R) have been registered. The D.R authority is going to work with the remaining because they don't want to mistreat anyone, but want everyone to be regularized.

How do I get the best savings account rate on $40,000 while keeping liquidity?
Home » Ask The Expert » How do I get the best savings account rate on $40,000 while keeping liquidity?
Q: How do I get the best interest rate on $40,000 while keeping liquidity?
A: You have a few options. The major themes in answering your question are determining how exactly you need to define liquidity, and how you shop for the best provider no matter what vehicle you choose.
It is important to figure out precisely what you mean when you say you want to keep the money liquid. Is the liquidity need a short-term certainty, or just a possibility that could occur sometime in the next few years? Will your liquidity need apply to all $40,000, or just a portion of it?
If you need full liquidity at any time, a savings account or money market account with FDIC insurance coverage is the most appropriate option. These allow immediate access without penalty, do not fluctuate in value, and offer the security of FDIC insurance limits up to $250,000 per deposit, per covered institution for deposits.
The trade-off with certificates of deposit is that they typically offer higher interest rates than savings or money market accounts, in exchange for locking your money up for a specified period of time. If your liquidity need is at least several months in the future, and/or is only a slight possibility rather than a high probability, the extra yield you can earn on a CD might be worth risking the early-withdrawal penalty, especially if you can find a CD offering a relatively mild penalty.
If your need for liquidity applies to only a portion of your $40,000, you might consider investing just that portion in a savings or money market account, while putting the remainder in long term CDs. If you anticipate a series of liquidity needs in the months or years to come, a corresponding series of CD terms with a CD ladder might give you the best combination of yield and liquidity.
Having figured out which type of vehicle best fits your liquidity needs, you can shop around for the best terms on that type of vehicle. Use online tools such as the MoneyRates.com savings account, money market account and CD rate pages to compare products.
As you do so, remember to compare like against like. For example, don't compare the yield on a 3-year CD at one bank with the yield on a 2-year CD at another bank - longer CDs will generally offer higher rates.
Also, whether you are depositing the full $40,000 in one vehicle or spreading it among multiple accounts, make sure you are comparing rates that apply to the size of your deposit.
Finally, if you are looking at CDs, remember that in addition to comparing rates you should also take into account the severity of their early withdrawal penalties.
Congratulations on looking to make the wisest move with your money. As low as interest rates may be these days, $40,000 is a significant enough sum of money that shopping for the best terms possible can make a meaningful difference in the amount of interest you earn.

Press Release – Federal INFRA Grant Paves the way for the $185 Million Reconstruction of Mound Road in Warren and Sterling Heights
MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. — The United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) has selected a joint application by Macomb County and the cities of Sterling Heights and Warren to be sent on as a recommended Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant project to be funded by Congress. The $97.8 million grant will help fund a $184.6 million reconstruction of Mound Road. Upon completion, the Mound Road Industrial Corridor Project will not only reconstruct this major arterial road, but also enhance the entire transportation corridor from Interstate 696 in Warren to M-59 in Sterling Heights.
The INFRA grant application was submitted in fall 2017 under an initiative called "Innovate Mound," a public/private collaborative effort spearheaded by leaders from state, county and local governments and businesses. This diverse and committed group had vital interests in transforming Mound Road from its current poor state into a next-generation corridor of innovation.
The Mound Road Corridor is a major artery for national automotive, defense, aerospace and advanced manufacturing installations. The stretch of Mound Road eligible for the grant is a critical 9-mile, eight-lane connection between I-696 and M-59, supporting more than 81,000 nearby manufacturing jobs. Industrial facilities and employers along the route include the General Motors Technical Center, the Ford Axle Plant, the Chrysler Assembly Plant, General Dynamics Land Systems, BAE Systems and the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) and Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
The goals of Innovate Mound include building a better roadway that features smart technology to enhance the efficient and safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. The goals will be realized by:
• The complete reconstruction of Mound Road from I-696 to M-59
• Widening of Mound Road in Sterling Heights from three to four lanes
• Installation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
• Real-time traffic speed monitoring
• Traffic flow improvements, including signals and signs
• Installation of two pedestrian walkways and improved landscaping
• Unified lighting and iconic signage
Funding for thFunding for the project cost not being covered by the INFRA grant will come from Macomb County, the City of Sterling Heights and the City of Warren in the amounts of $43.3 million, $29.06 million and $14.3 million, respectively. Congress now has 60 days to review the list of projects recommended for funding nationwide, including Mound Road. Assuming Congress approves the project, the reconstruction of Mound Road will commence in approximately 20 months.
"This grant award is significant for two reasons. First, it provides us with the necessary funding to invest in our region's number one need: fixing our infrastructure," said County Executive Mark A. Hackel. "It also strengthens Macomb County's position as a leader in mobility. Special thanks to our federal legislators, especially Senators Stabenow and Peters and Congressman Mitchell for their bipartisan support of this project."
"On behalf of all Sterling Heights residents and the motoring public, I could not be more excited about the news today," said Sterling Heights Mayor Michael C. Taylor. "The worst roadway in the region will soon be transformed into one of the best transportation corridors in all of Michigan. A corridor like Mound Road — that generates $8 billion dollars in economic impact to the region — deserves nothing less. The intergovernmental support involved in this initiative should serve as a model for cities and counties across the nation."
"This will help the traffic generated by the $2.5 billion expansion of the GM Tech Center and Fiat Chrysler in Warren," said Warren Mayor Jim Fouts. "This new, high-tech investment is a shot in the arm for economic development in Macomb County. This is a great example of collaboration and cooperation between Warren, Macomb County, and Sterling Heights. This demonstrates what we can accomplish by working together. Credit must go to Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Sterling Heights City Manager Mark Vanderpool, and Mayor Michael Taylor for this collaborative effort at economic leadership in the Metro Area. This is an important investment for Macomb County motorists."
The Innovate Mound Executive Committee included leadership from local governments, including Macomb County, Sterling Heights and Warren as well as corporate leadership from BAE Systems, FCA USA, Ford Motor Company, General Dynamics, General Motors, U.S. Army Detroit Arsenal, AM Specialties, Inc., Casadei Steel Inc., Chardam Gear Company, Conti Corporation, Defense Corridor Center for Collaboration and Synergy (DC3S), Metro Wire & Cable Corp. and the Sterling Heights Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

After induction
IStip forges strong partnerships with schools to provide meaningful induction of the highest quality.
Together we develop child centred, responsible, engaged and reflective teachers who will enjoy long and fulfilling careers.
The Independent Schools Teacher Induction Panel (formerly the Independent Schools Council Teacher Induction Panel, ISCtip) was established as the sector's Appropriate Body for newly qualified teacher induction by the Secretary of State for Education in 1999.
Appropriate Bodies have oversight of the induction processes and procedures within their schools, and their remit and responsibilities are defined by Sections 135A, 135B and 141C(1)(b) of the Education Act 2002 and The Education (Coronavirus) (School Teachers' Qualifications, Induction, Inspection Arrangements, Etc) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 and the current DfE guidance Induction for Early Career Teachers (England), revised March 2021.
IStip acts as the Appropriate Body in respect of ECT induction and carries out the statutory duties associated with that role in accordance with the above regulations and accompanying statutory guidance for ECTs employed in schools in membership of one of the following associations:
The Society of Heads;
Independent Schools Association (ISA);
Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC);
Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS); and
Girls' School Association (GSA);
Council of British International Schools (COBIS).
IStip is overseen by a Board in matters of governance, and a Panel, designated by the Secretary of State which has oversight of the statutory induction process. The work of the Board and Panel is supported by 2 professional officers, and a team of support officers, all former Heads, Deputy Heads or Induction Tutors.
IStip produces an annual report sent to all schools, and since 2005 has collected retention statistics on its ECTs. It carries out an annual induction tutor survey and a survey of ECTs to obtain feedback on its operation and service.

Study Assesses Relationship Between Abortion Policies, Laws and Women's Contraceptive Use
July 29, 2015 —Summary of "State Abortion Context and U.S. Women's Contraceptive Choices, 1995-2010," Josephine Jacobs and Maria Stanfors, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health , June 11, 2015.
"The United States has one of the highest rates of unintended pregnancy in the developed world" (49%), with about 52% of such pregnancies "due to contraceptive nonuse, and 48% to imperfect use," according to Josephine Jacobs, a postdoctoral fellow at Western University's Ivey Business School, and Maria Stanfors, a professor at the Centre for Economic Demography at Lund University.
Meanwhile, the researchers noted that "there has been a substantial increase in the proportion of women of reproductive age who were exposed to restrictive abortion policies," particularly in the last decade. This "transition to a more restrictive abortion context can limit women's choices regarding abortion by increasing the financial, time and emotional costs of obtaining the procedure." The researchers wrote, "In light of the country's increasingly restrictive policy environments, exploring the association between state abortion context -- and changes thereto -- and contraceptive behavior should be of particular interest to policymakers."
In this study, Jacobs and Stanfors "explore[d] the role that abortion context plays in the contraceptive choices of all women aged 15-44," as well as "whether the transition to a more restrictive abortion context is associated with contraceptive choices." The study focused "on the period 1995-2010, which witnessed a significant increase in the proportion of women exposed to restrictive abortion policies and contexts."
The researchers hypothesized that women in states where "abortion is not widely accessible … will be more inclined to use a more effective contraceptive method than will a woman who lives in a state with greater accessibility" and that, "if a state transitions to a more restrictive abortion context ... women will adapt their behavior and choose more effective methods."
For the study, Jacobs and Stanfors used data from the 1995 and 2006-2010 cycles of the National Survey of Family Growth, as well as data from NARAL Pro-Choice America and two other publications, which furnished data about state-level abortion policies and access to abortion care. Women eligible to participate in the study were "at risk for an unintended pregnancy and met the following eligibility criteria: They were currently not pregnant or seeking to get pregnant, they and their partners were not sterile (because of natural causes), and they reported having had heterosexual intercourse in the three months preceding the interview." Overall, the study included "7,006 women from the 1995 cycle and 7,770 women from 2010."
The researchers divided women into three groups: those who used highly effective methods, such as surgical sterilization or the pill; those who used less effective methods, such as a diaphragm or condom; and those who did not use contraception. Women also were subdivided into categories based on state accessibility to abortion services: "women living in states with a low level of abortion access (i.e., at least 50% of women had no county provider), women living in states with medium access (i.e., 25-49% had no county provider) and women living in states with high access (i.e., 0-24% had no county provider)." The medium and high access categories were eventually combined because the researchers "did not observe significant variation between them over time."
The researchers also created an abortion hostility index for states, based on eight types of abortion restrictions; the index ranked states with two or fewer restrictions as less hostile, those with three restrictions as moderately hostile and those with at least four restrictions as hostile. The analysis eventually combined less hostile and moderately hostile states.
Jacobs and Stanfors also "captured the state abortion policy context by indicating whether a state had an enforceable mandatory delay law, parental consent law or Medicaid funding restriction in place." They also considered demographic information, socioeconomic data, women's degree of religiosity and the number of sexual partners a woman had over the previous year.
Descriptive Findings
The study found that "[n]ine states transitioned from having medium abortion provider access to having low access over the study period, while one state (Florida) transitioned from high to medium access." Meanwhile, 19 "states had low provider access in 1995-1996" and "27 states had low access by 2007-2008," while one state, Ohio, "transitioned from low to high access, and two states went from medium to high access." According to the researchers, "[i]n the nine states that crossed the low access threshold, 39-49% of women lived in a county with no provider in 1995."
"In 1995, 12 states and the District of Columbia were less hostile to abortion, 13 states were moderately hostile and 25 states were hostile," and, "[b]y 2010, 13 states and the District of Columbia were less hostile, seven states were moderately hostile and 30 states were hostile," the researchers continued. Overall, they found that "two states transitioned from less hostile to moderately hostile over the study period, and seven states transitioned to having a hostile context," although six of those states "already had three restrictions in place in 1995."
Meanwhile, the researchers found that "[o]nly seven states had mandatory delay laws in 1995," but an additional 17 states enforced such laws by 2010. In addition, they found that 26 "states and the District of Columbia did not have parental consent or notice laws in 1995, and 14 states introduced such laws by 2010." Lastly, the study found that there was little variation in Medicaid restrictions between 1995 and 2010, with "17 states and the District of Columbia ... not hav[ing] such restrictions in 1995" and "17 states ... not hav[ing] them in 2010."
According to Jacobs and Stanfors, most of the 6,945 women in 1995 used contraception, with 61% of them using "highly effective methods." Of those women:
~ 58% lived in states with restrictions on Medicaid funding;
~ 49% "lived in the most hostile states";
~ 42% lived in states with parental involvement requirements;
~ "24% lived in states with low abortion access"; and
~ 12% were subject to mandatory delay laws.
Meanwhile, the researchers noted that 65% of the 7,578 women from the 2010 sample "were using highly effective contraceptive methods." Of those women:
~ 70% lived in states with parental involvement laws;
~ 65% lived in states with Medicaid funding restrictions;
~ 55% "were exposed to mandatory delay laws"; and
~ "42% lived in states with low abortion access."
Jacobs and Stanfors found that "women living in states with a low level of provider access were more likely than women in states with greater provider access to use highly effective contraceptives rather than no method," although the coefficient lost significance when "state fixed effects were controlled for." Meanwhile, they found that "women in states where providers became less accessible over time did not change their contraceptive behavior."
In terms of abortion hostility, the researchers found that women in hostile states "had an elevated risk of using highly effective contraceptives as opposed to no method" compared with women in states that were less hostile or moderately hostile to abortion rights, although "this coefficient lost significance" when state fixed effects were included. They added that "no associations were found for the use of either highly effective or less effective [contraceptive] methods" in "states that had transitioned to a hostile abortion policy context."
The researchers also "found a positive association between Medicaid funding restrictions and women's use of highly effective contraceptives rather than no method," although the "coefficient was not significant" when state fixed effects were considered. According to the researchers, in the state fixed effects model, "[n]o associations were found for parental consent laws, while the presence of a mandatory delay law was correlated with the use of less effective methods, as opposed to none." They added that they "found that while the interactions with the delay law and Medicaid restrictions were significant for women's use of highly effective methods … these coefficients were not significant in models that included state fixed effects."
In a model that included state group fixed effects -- controlling "for state-specific factors that do not vary over time" -- the researchers found that:
~ Women were more likely to use highly effective methods rather than no method if they were age 18 to 24 or 25 to 34, compared with younger teenagers;
~ Black women were less likely than white women to use a highly effective contraceptive method rather than none; and
~ Women who had a husband or cohabitating partner were more likely than women without such relationships "to use highly effective methods and less effective methods as opposed to none."
Further, "[a]cross all ... state fixed effects ... models," the researchers found that women were more likely to use highly effective birth control methods as opposed to none if they:
~ Had two or more births, compared to women with no births;
~ Had private or public insurance, compared with no insurance;
~ Had at least some college education, compared with women who had less than a high school education; and
~ Worked full time or part time, compared with nonworking women.
Meanwhile, the researchers found that "women who attended religious services less than weekly had a greater likelihood of using a highly effective method than did women who attended weekly." They also found that women were less likely to use highly effective contraception, and more likely to use less effective methods, the more sexual partners they had over the prior year.
Further, the researchers "found that 18-25-year-olds in states with low abortion access and in states that had transitioned to a mandatory delay law were more likely than their counterparts to use highly effective methods as opposed to none," while such a likelihood increased only in the "older age-group" among women in states with Medicaid funding restrictions. However, "these associations lost significance" when state-fixed effects were considered.
Meanwhile, the researchers found in certain models "that having four or more restrictions in place was positively associated with hormonal contraceptive use," and there was "a smaller but still significant association when [the researchers] used a threshold of at least three restrictions."
According to the researchers, while the findings suggest that "provider access and legislative hostility appeared to be associated with the use of highly effective contraceptives, the inclusion of state group fixed effects rendered these associations insignificant." The finding indicates "that the associations ... identified may be attributable to other time-invariant state-level variables," such as "other reproductive health policies or women's attitudes."
In addition, they noted that "the transition to less accessible and more hostile abortion policy contexts was not associated with the use of highly effective methods," although that could be related to how such states "already had relatively low access and high hostility." As a result, "women in these states may have already adjusted their contraceptive behavior to fairly restrictive abortion environments," the authors wrote, adding that "[e]ven a cursory overview of the states that most frequently made antiabortion headlines in 2013 supports this idea."
Overall, the findings "seem to indicate that contraceptive choice is most strongly influenced by individual-level variables," Jacobs and Stanfors continued. The researchers wrote, "Our results indicate that women living in states with more restrictive abortion contexts tend to use highly effective contraceptives," although "increases in restrictiveness do not appear to be associated with the use of these methods." They concluded, "From a reproductive health policy standpoint, this implies that to avoid [unintended] pregnancies, it is important to ensure access to highly effective contraceptive methods for all women when access to abortions is limited."


I use this as a base for my smoothies, poured over oatmeal or Ezekiel cereal, and usually can't resist it just on its own. It's high in protein (this recipe provides 7g per cup), making it an excellent post-workout drink or smoothie base. I use 2 cups as a smoothie base, for a nice 14g of morning protein! Hemp milk makes a great dairy-free alternative to regular milk.
Aside from protein, hemp also contains healthy fats, like the anti-inflammatory omega 3s, as well as a plethora of beauty minerals that support our hair, skin, and nails. This recipe only uses dates as a sweetener, delivering extra fiber and nutrients without the downside of refined sugar. You'll find this homemade hemp milk is much creamier than store-bought, which is heavily watered down.
I typically make 4-6 cups at a time, put in ball jars, and refrigerate. It will last for 4-5 days (if you don't use it sooner!).

Daring designs and unparalleled artisanship best describe the fine art furniture presented in Fearless Furniture, the first juried exhibition of its kind opening to the public on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013 at the Indiana State Museum.
Thirty benches, tables, chairs, clocks and more will be featured in this remarkable range of spirited designs by 21 juried and three invited artists all with Indiana connections.
"The show illustrates not only the immensely diverse talent associated with our state, but also the artists' fearless approaches to making a living from something they love doing," said Indiana State Museum Decorative Arts and Furniture Curator David Buchanan.
Fearless Furniture will feature several designs that will excite your imagination, including a very modern red aluminum concept chair titled Star Chair, designed by Indianapolis-based furniture maker Glen Fuller and Fluxus, a poplar, glass and steel table inspired by the ebb and flow of the White River by Ball State University Assistant Professor Dustin Headley.
Buchanan tapped internationally-renowned furniture designer Wendy Maruyama to jury the exhibition. As part of the judging criteria, all of the artists needed to have an Indiana connection: either as a native or current resident of the state or trained at one of Indiana's well-known design programs. Applications were submitted from across the country with the final selection including artists from as far away as Hawaii and Maine.
Maruyama will present a lecture at the museum on Friday, Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. followed by a reception celebrating the opening of the exhibition. Both events are free and open to the public. Due to limited seating, please RSVP to the museum at 317.232.1637.
For more details on the exhibition, please call Indiana State Museum Fine Arts Curator and exhibit spokesman Mark Ruschman at 317-232-1633, or visit the museum Web site at http://indianamuseum.org/.

Fall Events at Whitewater Valley Railroad in Connersville Auditions for 'Circle of Lights,' Sept. 26 and Oct. 5


Despite decades of terramechanics studies of wheeled and tracked vehicles, little is known about how to move legged robots effectively across granular media like sand. To overcome this challenge, we performed the first systematic studies of how legged locomotion depends on granular compaction, leg kinematics, and leg morphology.
In each case, we discovered sensitive dependence of movement on these locomotor and ground parameters. We have also developed simple and comprehensive physics models to explain these observations. Overall, our studies provided novel leg control and design principles for legged robots to traverse granular environments like deserts, debris, and Martian soil.
The use of robots as physical models, rather than animals, provides a few advantages in studying locomotion.
Robots are simpler than animals, with fewer degrees of freedom and more well-defined morphology and kinematics.
Robots are much more repeatable, while animals vary from one individual to another and from one trial to another and thus generate data with large variability.
Robots can often be modified more easily and allow easier parameter variation, whereas animals can be hard to modify without affecting their behavior.
We collaborate closely with roboticists (e.g., Dan Koditschek at UPenn, Ron Fearing at Berkeley), and also develop our own robots using traditional and novel (e.g., 3-D printing, cardboard origami) manufacturing techniques.
During each cycle, the legs are tuned to slow down when around the bottom of the rotation circle, when legs are in contact with the ground (i.e., stance phase).
First lesson: One cannot simply expect legged robots tuned for solid ground (which often is the case in laboratory studies) to work in more complex terrain.
Second lesson: Even on the same granular media, slight changes in compaction can mean the difference between rapid movement and failure to move.
This discovery also highlights how crucial it is to control compaction when studying movement on flowable ground like granular media. As a result, our ground control technique using fluidized beds has been implemented by leading field roboticists (e.g., Karl Iagnemma at MIT, Matt Spenko at Illinois IT).
In addition, we discovered that for a given ground compaction, if legs rotate faster, the robot goes into failure mode; if legs slow down, movement is restored (Fig. 1, top). Furthermore, the angular span and position of the slow stance must be appropriately chosen for the robot to move effectively (Fig. 1, bottom).
Figure 1. Robot speed depends sensitively on (top) granular compaction and leg stride frequency, as well as (bottom) gait pattern.
Careful observations of leg-ground interaction and physics of intrusion forces revealed that the robot's movement-failure transition is governed by solid-fluid transition of granular media. When a robot moves on granular media, its legs apply a downward force, which equals robot weight plus inertial force due to vertical acceleration.
When the applied force exceeds the yield force of granular media, particles flow like a fluid.
When the applied force is smaller than the yield force, particles re-solidify into a solid.
Depending on possibilities of vertical force balance throughout a cycle, the robot can display two distinct modes of locomotion.
Walking on solidified granular media: When yield force is greater than applied force at least during part of stance, granular media can re-solidify, and legs rotate on top of solid material to lift the body and propel it forward. This corresponds to effective movement (up to 1 body length per second).
Swimming on fluidized granular media: When yield force is never greater than applied force during the entire stance, granular media cannot resolidify, and legs rotate through continuously fluidized material, unable to lift the body and propel it forward. This corresponds to failure to move (~0 body length per second).
These observed movement-failure transitions (Fig. 1) can be explained by the physics of intrusion forces. For a given compaction, the force that granular media exerts on a moving intruder (i.e., yield force) increases proportionally with intruder depth. Thus as a robot leg rotate through granular media, yield force first increases and then decreases (Fig. 2).
Figure 2. Walking on solidified granular media and swimming on continuously fluidized granular media.
Because yield force also increases with compaction, as granular media becomes less compact, legs must penetrate deeper to generate enough yield force to balance applied force (in other words, legs slip more). As a result, the portion of stance phase over which particles solidify becomes narrower, and the legs lift the body lower and propels it by a shorter distance, slowing the robot down (Fig. 2, bottom left). Eventually, ground compaction becomes so low that legs never generate enough yield force to balance applied force, leading to constant ground fluidization and no movement forward (Fig. 2, bottom right).
On the other hand, applied force (i.e., weight plus inertial force) increases with acceleration. As legs slow down, applied force decreases because centrifugal acceleration reduces. Eventually, yield force exceeds applied force again over part of stance, granular media resolidify, and movement is restored.
The same solid-fluid transition also explains why movement occurs only for appropriate gait pattern (Fig. 1, bottom). We discovered that intrusion forces are substantial during leg push-down are but diminish during lift-off. As a result, legs must slow down during push-down to reduce acceleration and minimize applied force.


Your prom transport has got be one of the highlights of the big night, so why not do something really special and organise a vintage bus for you and your friends?
You've got a great choice of vehicles: there are 69 seat vintage open and closed top double deckers and simply brilliant 28 seat single deck coaches - all from the 1960s.
What's more, spreading the cost amongst everyone can make a beautiful vintage bus so much more affordable than just any ordinary limousine.
The chances are, no-one else will travel in anything as distinctive and your arrival is really going to get noticed. What a fantastic experience!

Istanbul was a city on Earth located in the former nation-state of Turkey. Istanbul is an ancient city, which was previously known by a number of names, including Byzantium and Constantinople when it served as the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
The Hagia Sophia is one of the most beautiful landmarks in the city. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Cathedral)
During the 14th century, the city was one of many affected by the Bubonic plague. The immortal being Flint was in the city when the plague came to the area. (TOS episode: "Requiem for Methuselah")
In the 19th century, the city still bore the name of Constantinople, but the name had been changed to Istanbul by the early 20th century. While on an undercover mission on Romulus in 2379, Commander Tuvok likened this to the renaming of the capital city on Romulus from Dartha to Ki Baratan. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

Istanbul is Europe's most populous city and Turkey's cultural and financial center. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province. It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country.
In 1939 American adventurer Tex Thompson traveled to Istanbul at the behest of the Prime Minister of Turkey. Disguising himself as a Turk, Tex teamed up with a local guide named Ali-Baba and together they investigated a sabotage ring responsible for attacking the Turkish naval fleet. During this adventure, Tex also had a rematch with his old foe the Gorrah. The Gorrah captured Tex and his ally Bob Daley and used hypnosis on them in an effort to ascertain information regarding the naval fleet. Tex was unaffected, but pretended to be under the Gorrah's control so that he could bait him into a trap. Refusing to be taken alive, the Gorrah faked his own death and went into hiding. [1]

Historically the country of Turkey was conquered by many ancient Empires such as the Latin Empire. The Latin Empire and the Ottoman Empire. During long years, people from Turkey were subdued by many foreign emperors. However, on October 29th, 1923 the political situation of Turkey changed drastically due to the fall of the Ottoman Empire in this year. The name of the Republic's founder was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Since then, the country has improved a lot and it has become one of the best nations in the world. Consequently, the city of Istanbul is considered as the most important financial center in both Europe and Asia. That is why the Republic Day in considered by all the citizens of Turkey as a principal holiday.
As we've mentioned before, this festivity is celebrated each October 29th. All the cities in Turkey but specially the city of Istanbul prepares special events for this day. In fact, the city houses a large number of tourists from different parts of the planet in this day. In this special celebration in Turkey, foreigners are able to attend spectacular performances, massive processions, musical concerts and much more.
The celebrations for the Republic day in Istanbul start a day before, on October 28th exactly. By that time, people get ready to celebrate this important day; all the buildings and streets of the city have had already been decorated with marvelous flags. In addition, there are several art competitions between schools.

Yance Ford: First Transgender Director Nominated for an Oscar
ColumnJanuary 25, 2018
PARK CITY, UTAH—Yance Ford has just made history. He has become the first transgender director to be nominated for an Academy Award. His documentary, "Strong Island" (hip-hop slang for Long Island, New York), tells the tragic tale of the death of his older brother, William Ford Jr. On April 7, 1992, the 24-year-old African-American man was shot through the heart by a white, 19-year-old mechanic named Mark Reilly. Although the cause of death was listed as "homicide," and no one disputes that Reilly fired the gun, a grand jury made up of 23 white people declined to bring charges. While a transgender man's groundbreaking Oscar nomination is certainly a cause for celebration, this achievement is steeped in pain, so eloquently evoked in this poetic, haunting masterpiece.
The documentary, on its surface, is a cold case investigation. Yance (rhymes with "Nancy") opens the film with a phone call to the Suffolk County prosecutor who handled the case over a quarter-century ago. "I was calling to see if you were willing to … answer some of the questions that have been plaguing me," he asked, to which the prosecutor curtly replied, "Everything that happens in the grand jury is confidential … I don't want to discuss the case with you." Yance told us on the "Democracy Now!" news hour, the day after receiving the Oscar nomination: "My brother's case, 25 years ago, simply affirms what we are seeing now, which is, it doesn't matter if you follow the rules. The justice system isn't meant to work for people of color in this country."
In New York state, those who testify before the grand jury are free to share their experiences, so we hear from his mother, Barbara Dunmore Ford, and his brother's best friend, Kevin Myers. Through their experiences, we see a system riven with racism. "The police had turned my brother into the prime suspect in his own murder," Yance says in the film.
Kevin Myers was questioned before the grand jury, but no bothered to tell him that it was a grand jury. He was just trying to help the authorities pursue the case, but they seemed more interested in William's height and weight, building an image of him as a large, imposing black man who might have created enough fear in Reilly to justify shooting in self-defense. Yet William was only 5 feet 8 inches tall. "The historical fear belongs to the person of color who winds up dead, not to the white person who overreacts with deadly force," Yance told us.
Yance's mother, Barbara, the pillar of the family, is central to the film. Interviewed by Yance in the family kitchen, his mother said: "I looked at the grand jury, I looked around. I saw who was paying attention. … How could you come to a viable decision if you're reading a magazine, if you're doing a crossword puzzle, if you're talking with somebody? Serving on a jury, particularly a grand jury, is one of the greatest privileges of citizenship in this country. … My feeling is that they just didn't give a damn."
She continued: "I will die believing that they didn't care because my son was a young man of color. I will always believe that. Always. Until the day I die."
In order to focus on editing the film, in the midst of the series of recent high-profile killings of so many unarmed African-American men, Yance relocated to Europe for a number of months. "It was very important to me, conceptually," he told us, "that the film be driven by black characters, because so often black people and brown people and folks who lose unarmed loved ones to violence, they get shoved out of the way, as if they are somehow unreliable witnesses to the lives of their dead."
Yance's first documentary, a powerful statement on race and society and a deeply moving tribute to his brother, is an astounding accomplishment. Yance Ford, the first transgender director to receive a nomination, also sees this moment as an opportunity: "Trans people of color are murdered at such rates in this country every year. It should be treated as a law-enforcement priority, but it's not. If my nomination can help in any way to advance the issues of trans equality and protection for LGBTQ people under the law, then I am as humbled by that as I am by the nomination."

Overlooking the Dornoch and Moray Firths stunning views can be had whilst enjoying links golf at its best. It is an ideal complement to the better known courses of Tain and Dornoch at extremely reasonable rates.
The Portmahomack area enjoys one of the lowest rainfalls in Scotland and it is common to watch showers in the distance over the firth pass by the area.
Although only 5295 yards in length for the 2 x nine holes, with cleverly placed bunkers, elevated greens and undulating fairways a good test of golf can be enjoyed. A very reasonable weekly ticket can be purchased and visitors can enjoy their golf throughout their holiday. As Portmahomack is the only Westerly facing village on the East coast nine holes in either the morning or evening stunning sun rises or sunsets are plentiful during the summer months. Many visitors enjoy 9 or 18 holes of golf and then take a break in the Tee Up café and bar to enjoy meals or light refreshments.
Then it's back to the course for a few more enjoyable holes of golf.


v → = ω → × r → .
That is, the tangential velocity is the cross product of the angular velocity and the position vector, as shown in [link] . From part (a) of this figure, we see that with the angular velocity in the positive z -direction, the rotation in the xy -plane is counterclockwise. In part (b), the angular velocity is in the negative z- direction, giving a clockwise rotation in the xy- plane.
The vectors shown are the angular velocity, position, and tangential velocity. (a) The angular velocity points in the positive z- direction, giving a counterclockwise rotation in the xy- plane. (b) The angular velocity points in the negative z -direction, giving a clockwise rotation.
A flywheel rotates such that it sweeps out an angle at the rate of θ = ω t = ( 45.0 rad / s) t radians. The wheel rotates counterclockwise when viewed in the plane of the page. (a) What is the angular velocity of the flywheel? (b) What direction is the angular velocity? (c) How many radians does the flywheel rotate through in 30 s? (d) What is the tangential speed of a point on the flywheel 10 cm from the axis of rotation?
The functional form of the angular position of the flywheel is given in the problem as θ ( t ) = ω t , so by taking the derivative with respect to time, we can find the angular velocity. We use the right-hand rule to find the angular velocity. To find the angular displacement of the flywheel during 30 s, we seek the angular displacement Δ θ , where the change in angular position is between 0 and 30 s. To find the tangential speed of a point at a distance from the axis of rotation, we multiply its distance times the angular velocity of the flywheel.
ω = d θ d t = 45 rad / s . We see that the angular velocity is a constant.
By the right-hand rule, we curl the fingers in the direction of rotation, which is counterclockwise in the plane of the page, and the thumb points in the direction of the angular velocity, which is out of the page.
Δ θ = θ ( 30 s ) − θ ( 0 s ) = 45.0 ( 30.0 s ) − 45.0 ( 0 s ) = 1350.0 rad .
v t = r ω = ( 0.1 m ) ( 45.0 rad / s ) = 4.5 m/s .
In 30 s, the flywheel has rotated through quite a number of revolutions, about 215 if we divide the angular displacement by 2 π . A massive flywheel can be used to store energy in this way, if the losses due to friction are minimal. Recent research has considered superconducting bearings on which the flywheel rests, with zero energy loss due to friction.
