Shadi Soundation: Arduino & LM393 Inductance-meter!
The link to the source code is dead, is it possible to re-upload please?
I have just checked the link, its not dead. just try again!
I would suggest that you make changes to the code, specially the function measuring the time constant .. and see what happens ! Im sorry I dont know what kind of problem is causing this !
I completed the circuit however, it seems Ι can't get the right values. For every coil I measure, the values I get are 13.84uH or 11.71 uH. Could you help me with my problem?
This works great, but I'm trying to tighten things up a bit.
How did you convert 1uF to 95.E-8 for the capacitance.
I have 1.70 uF on my board. So I write 1.70 x 1.E-6. It's that correct?
I do believe you , I will check if I still have the code and update the link as soon as possible .
new link .. code was added/updated !
Hello i get only Insert indcutor have test it with 1µF elko and 1µF tantal but still the same error any idea what is wrong?
Worked first time around, wonderful!
However, arduino's pulseIn has a minimum of 10uS (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/PulseIn), which is not good enough for measuring smaller inductances. What I really need is to measure small inductors in the nano-henry range.
Any ideas on how to do so with the arduino?
Nice job with the simple schematic!
I forgot to add, I made a bunch of random parts substitutions. Because I didn't have any LM393's, I used both LM2901N and LM339 (not LM393) comparators, both worked just fine.
The diode I replaced with a 1N4001. I used a pretty accurate 1uF metalized Film capacitor (rated for 250W) from RadioShack. Using Arduino pro mini.
Just checked the link .... its not dead!
without the 'cap val * 2' you will not get the correct inductor value.

From Deming we headed to the City of Rocks, a New Mexico State Park halfway between Deming and Silver City. This was a spectacularly scenic spot, the campsites are scattered among very large boulder outcroppings. I felt like we were in the middle of a Star Trek location shoot. The New Mexico park system has reservation sites, first-come-first-served sites, some with power and water, others without. We found a perfect site for our fifth wheel, site #18. It was extremely spacious and secluded, no hook-ups boondock style, and the park itself had no dump station or sewer hook-ups.
A Star Trek alien planet?
Unfortunately, our stay was marred by high winds and dust storms, but we still had a good time. There were hiking trails around the perimeter of the park and up to a scenic overlook area.
A few days here and we headed to Rockhound State Park just outside of Deming. This is a small state park that actually encourages "rock hounds" to hunt and take rock samples (15 pound limit is requested). The campsites were spacious and spread out, this park had a dump site, and we took space #13 which had water and electric. It was still a bit windy at this park too.
From Rockhound State Park we went to the Oliver Lee State Park outside of Alamagordo, NM. This is another tiny state park at the base of the Sacramento Mountains at Dog Canyon.
If you are ever near this area, a must see is the White Sands National Monument area adjacent to the White Sands Missile Testing area. (Don't worry, they block the roads to this area when they actually are testing missiles). The monument area is 275 square miles of awe-inspiring whiteness. It felt like being in the snow fields, like we were supposed to put our jackets on, except it was 80 degrees and sunny. We watched as our footprints in the sand disappeared quickly with even the lightly blowing winds sweeping across the desert. Eerie!!!
That is one big dune!
We packed up from Oliver Lee and went to Roswell, NM looking for UFO's or aliens. We stayed at the Bottomless Lakes State Park. This time we made reservations for a 5 day stay, but I would probably forgo any more reservations in New Mexico State Parks. They charge an extra fee for reservations and every park we went to had plenty of vacancies in the first-come-first-served spaces, many of which were better sites than our reserved ones. We continued acting as a magnet for terrible weather, encountering a HUGE dust storm with 50 mph winds in Roswell. The temps also fluctuated big-time, one day we were in the high 70's and the next there was a flash freeze warning in the morning. Oh well, that's how it goes with our travels. Now you all know that if you know we are approaching your location……RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES! While in Roswell we just HAD to see the UFO museum. It was only $5 to get in and it was interesting to see.

January 24, 2012 • Students graduating from college are entering perhaps the toughest, most uncertain job market in generations. Melanie Singer was among them. When she graduated from college in 2010 with a degree in accounting, she thought it would be easy to find a job; it turned out to be anything but.


Transcript. Hi, I'm Tam, and I'm going to show you how to make a bracelet with wire wrapping and Czech glass beads. So basically, I've wrapped all these beads on it, and I've chosen the colors sort of so they're a little metallic, and darks.... If you're searching for DIY wire wrapped bracelet patterns and designs, you may fall in love with this golden wire wrapped bracelet with blue crackle glass beads.
Step One. Take 1 metre of wire and thread on a gemstone and then a spacer bead and continue to thread alternate beads on to the desired length to fit around your wrist, approx. 18 -20 cm remembering to allow for the toggle clasp.
16/05/2012�� now while you have the binder clip giving you a hand, start wrapping the thinner gauge wire on the side that you have the binder clip on. I personally used about 10 inches of the thing wire to wrap the two heavier gauge wires together.
Step #1. Cut a piece of the 18 gauge wire to about 6 inches (you could use 20 gauge if that�s what you have). Bend it loosely in half. Step #2. Pull the wire onto the button like in the photo.

Estate Administration in North Muskegon MI
Estate Administration in North Muskegon, Michigan
Find the right Estate Administration attorney in North Muskegon, MI
"Estate administration" refers to the process which must be followed when the estate of a person who has recently died is being distributed, either according to his or her wishes as laid out in a will, or the laws governing the distribution of the assets of a person who dies without a will.
If the decedent has made a will in North Muskegon, Michigan, the process will play out according to the instructions specified in the will.
Often, the will appoints an executor whose job it is to oversee the administration of the will.
The executor generally has at least some work cut out for them. This obviously raises the issue of compensation. The easiest way to ensure that the executor does his or her job is simply to appoint the person who has the most to gain from the will. That way, they cannot inherit until the process is completed.
If a North Muskegon, Michigan will does not name an executor, or no will exists or can be found, it's up to the local court to decide who should be the executor.
This is most often the person who would inherit most under the will, or under the intestacy scheme of Michigan. Intestacy is when a person dies without having made a will, or if a will turns out to be invalid. The intestacy laws of each state determine how property is distributed in such a situation. In most states, it simply goes to the closest living relative.
If the will doesn't name a person who is to serve as executor, or the person named is no longer alive or cannot be found, anyone with a direct interest in the will can apply to the North Muskegon, Michigan court to be the executor.
Whoever ends up as the executor, it is their responsibility to serve as the personal representative of the estate. They will be responsible for taking account of all of the decedent's assets and debts, as well as notifying beneficiaries who may be estranged from the decedent, among other things.
Can a North Muskegon, Michigan Estate Administration Attorney Help?
Some people are surprised when they find out they've been named the executor of a relative's estate. The responsibilities can seem daunting, but with the help of a good North Muskegon, Michigan attorney, the process almost always goes pretty smoothly.

Creggan Writers' Showcase
Guildhall Press invite a diverse range of writers to read in Derry~Londonderry
charlieherron.jpg.axd.jpeg
The Ráth Mór Shopping Centre in Derry~Londonderry's Creggan area is perhaps not associated with creative writing, but look a little closer and you will discover The Hive Digital Studios on the first floor. It is here that a selection of the city's finest authors have gathered at the auspices of Guildhall Press.
Creggan Writers' Showcase is the last of six public events organised by the long-established publisher and Creggan Enterprises, as part of the development of the BT Portrait of a City film and photographic archive a programme, supported by the Big Lottery Fund and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland's Culture for All programme.
Previous events have focussed on specific groups – female writers, young writers et cetera – but today's showcase features a range of authors working in different forms.
Journalist Garbhan Downey, who has published several factual books and satirical novels, is chair of proceedings, and establishes an informal tone by keeping the running order a secret 'to ensure that no-one leaves before the poets and short story writers'.
First up is the most successful writer on the bill: playwright, novelist, poet and screenwriter, Dave Duggan.
Oscar-nominated for his 1996 screenplay Dance, Lexie, Dance, Duggan is a commanding presence, and reveals that he 'walks around with people in my head for days, weeks, months, even years before they end up on the page' – a useful observation for any aspiring authors in the audience who consider preparation to be overrated.
Duggan then reads from A Sudden Sun, his novel written from the female perspective. The central character, Donna Bradley – herself from Creggan, who struggles with grief following the death of her daughter – remains with the author, still talking away in his head, and Duggan admits that he will return to her in the future.
Whether that particular story takes the form of a novel, screenplay or drama, Duggan is yet to decide – for him, form comes last, after he has settled on theme, character, plot and resolution.
Take his most recent work, for example, the verse drama Denizen, a court room drama set in Derry that deals with the concepts of truth and reconciliation. Duggan listened to his protagonist's voice for many months, and was surprised to discover that his story was best suited to a verse drama, a form he had never tackled before.
Duggan is aware, however, that his next project will be a science fiction play written in Irish, which he hopes to see produced in 2015 – rest assured, Dave Duggan is a difficult writer to predict. On the craft, he finishes with Samuel Beckett's oft-repeated advice: 'Try again. Fail again. Fail better.'
Next up is Charlie Herron, former principal of Foyle View School, who began writing in retirement. He published his debut novel, McCauley's War, at the sprightly age of 74, which was followed by The Trouble With McCauley, the second in a projected trilogy.
Though he had a yearning to write for many years, Herron's job and large family took priority, until BBC Radio Foyle asked him – a natural raconteur, who had previously participated in various programmes as a talking head – to write a story for broadcast.
'I knew when I was writing it that it was not a short story, it was a novel,' says Herron. So he pursued something else, and came back to the original idea later. In the event, he finished the first draft of his debut novel in just six weeks. Reading an extract, his mischievous young protagonist finds himself attending confession in a Derry chapel: 'I have a great openness with people,' he quips, 'as long as they're Catholics.'
If Herron is the consumate orator – humorous and confident in front of a crowd – then poet and painter Catherine Canning is the consumate wallflower. 'How am I supposed to follow these two?' she jokes, cannily and perhaps subconsciously putting herself at ease at the same time as informing us that bluster and banter is not her style.
Canning's book, Inch Days: Poems and Paintings, recalls four years living on the County Donegal island, in a cottage surrounded by flowers and wildlife and water and very few people. 'My connection with nature inspired me to write this book,' Canning says – nay whispers – before reading several poems, introducing each with a brief pretext or synopsis.
When Canning reads, she transforms – whereas before she was all hands and nervous energy, now she is still as the morning, her gaze fixed on the page, or occasionally rising toward the ceiling as she reads from memory, seemingly in a trance. Her voice, once frigid, veritably booms; she seems to grow taller with each carefully chosen word.
She reads 'John Sweeney', 'Nest Building', 'The House' and 'Two Dead Lambs', but it's 'Counting Sheep' that stays with me the longest, its imagery stark, its meaning universal. A sheep lies dead in a field, and Canning observes its leg bone nibbled clean, it's empty eye sockets, and ponders how they are 'connected by being female, connected by being alone'.
Other writers follow – Willie Deery, author of Springtown Camp and Derry's Dancehalls of Romance; bookstore owner and poet Jenni Doherty; journalist and short story writer Freya McClements, to name but a few – and the prevailing theme that runs throughout all of their readings is home.
There is no doubting that each and every writer shares a deep affection for Derry as a city, as an inspiration, as a setting in their many and varied works. When Downey asks if he would ever consider setting his fiction elsewhere, Herron confirms that he would – but only in Moville, the County Donegal seaside resort where he spent his childhood, a mere 18 miles away.
Write what you know, seems to be the lesson. Whether it be a verse drama in the classical tradition, a collection of poems, or a trilogy of Second World War homefront novels, these writers all chose to write about the views that they see from their bedroom windows, often in their own dialect. For Derry's writers, there is a lot to be said for authenticity.

E&C Leaders Call on CDC Director Redfield to Brief Congress
The Committee Leaders' Request Follows Major Changes to COVID-19 Testing Guidance and Announcement on Vaccine Distribution
Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), Health Subcommittee Chairwoman Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) and Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chair Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following joint statement today calling on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D. to brief members of the Committee on a series of announcements affecting the nation's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Over the past few days, major CDC leadership decisions affecting the national response to the coronavirus pandemic have not been adequately and clearly communicated by CDC and this Administration. First, CDC changed its guidance, without explanation or clear scientific evidence, on who should be tested for COVID-19. This change could dramatically reduce the number of people tested for COVID-19 after being exposed to the virus. Second, CDC notified states that they should be prepared to distribute a potential vaccine by November 1, just two days before the presidential election.
"Today, we are publicly calling on Director Redfield to brief members of the Committee next week on these and any other upcoming CDC actions in response to COVID-19. Let us be very clear, keeping Congress in the dark during a national public health crisis is unacceptable and will not be tolerated by this Committee.
"We are deeply concerned that CDC's failure to keep Congress and the American people properly informed of these major decisions is further evidence that political forces within the Trump Administration are increasingly exerting control over the nation's premiere public health agency at the expense of our nation's health and wellbeing."

StarTimes ups Eutelsat capacity, plans African expansion
Written by DTVE Reporter
7th July 2016 @ 11:51
StarTimes has struck new multi-year deals with Eutelsat that will allow it to accelerate the rollout of digital TV services across Africa.
The firm said that, in anticipation of the continued expansion of Africa's TV market, it has secured extra capacity and plans to "scale up further by the end of the year".
StarTimes has also renewed capacity contracts on two Eutelsat satellites and uplink agreements with Slovenian teleport operator STN.
StarTimes claims that its multi-channel TV platform is available in more than 7 million homes across 13 Sub-Saharan African countries and that it plans to expand into the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia in August.
"We rely on Eutelsat's advanced satellite communication technology to make our signals available throughout the African continent. Going forward, we will continue to work with Eutelsat to provide the best digital TV service to our African customers," said StarTimes group chairman and president Pang Xinxing.
Eutelsat CEO, Rodolphe Belmer, said that it can help StarTimes to achieve its ambition to reach 30 million homes in 30 African countries by 2018.
"Eutelsat is fully engaged in the transformation of Africa's broadcasting landscape and is proud to work with the players who are bringing the benefits of digital TV to viewers across the continent," said Belmer.

Pythons are facing the threat of extinction due to human annihilation and interference in natural habitats of pythons. Indian rock python (Python molurus) has been stated as Lower Risk/Near Threatened by International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Therefore, there is an intense need to change the perception of people and encourage them to coincide with this big snake. Current study involved the rescue and rehabilitation of an Indian rock python (P. molurus) spotted at the shrine of Baba Shah Jeevan, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Python was grasped by skilled snake catchers and taken to the wildlife sanctuary in Balkasar Research Complex, Chakwal, Pakistan for the purpose of conservation. The python was kept in cage designed for reptiles (especially for snakes) having proper soil bed and shelter. Proper hygienic condition is maintained in the cage with climbing structures for the python and an adult chicken is feed to it every week. After rescuing, the python was force-feed, however the natural feeding behavior of constriction and killing of prey was resumed by it after few weeks. Rescue, rehabilitation and release of pythons create a coexisting environment in between pythons and human being instead of python-human conflict, ultimately decreasing the risk of population decline of large snakes.

Choosing an Acoustic Guitar can be a difficult thing. It's difficult because it's so personal. All of us guitar players know what we like, but also know what other guitarists like and sometimes we can make purchases by putting public opinion over our own preferences. So, you start by asking yourself some questions; "Why do I want a guitar?" Or perhaps it's, "Why do I want a NEW Guitar?", "What will I use it for?", and of course the all important question; "How much do I have to spend?" Well, with Yamaha's release of the FGX730SCA Acoustic/Electric, the whole choosing process just got a whole lot easier.
I have to admit that I knew the selling price of the guitar before I received it for this review and, being the typical "cynical musician", I had already come to some conclusions before it even arrived. This being the case I wasn't prepared to be impressed when I opened the box. That's when this instrument fairly quickly began to change my mind.
To begin with, Yamaha has a reputation for building good quality instruments at an affordable price so I knew that I would be seeing a decent guitar. What I wasn't prepared for was how decent it actually was. As I took it out of the box and pealed back the wrapping my first impression was; "Wow, what a pretty instrument!" This is not my normal response, but it really caught my eye.
After looking it over, I immediately began to play it, which led to impression number two. The thing was in tune out of the box and it sounded great too. The overall tone of the guitar is very, very clean. The lows are very warm and the highs are bright and crisp. The more I played it, the more I really liked what I heard. Sound-wise, I would put this instrument up against other, much more expensive, models. OK, more on this in a bit. Before I go any further, let's look at the features of the FGX730SCA.
Yamaha's newest offering is a single cutaway guitar with a Solid Sitka Spruce top and a Rosewood fingerboard. The back and sides of the guitar are rosewood as well. Good looking and good sounding instrument, right off the bat. As I initially picked it up, the first thing that was obvious was how well it was constructed. This is a solid guitar. All the hardware is die-cast chrome and looks real sharp. Also, the pearl inlay work on the rosette is very nice too.
Cosmetically this instrument has features that you wouldn't expect on a guitar in its price range. To finish out the specs, the bridge is rosewood, giving the guitar a nice consistent quality in the way it looks. The string scale of 25-9/16 inches is about what you would expect for a dreadnaught body style as is the depth and overall feel of the guitar.
It also features some pretty decent electronics. The FGX730SCA features an onboard System 55 preamp with a 3-band EQ and piezo style pickups. Cool! It's great to have the adjustable midrange frequency (AMF) control. We'll talk about the sound later. We also have a built in tuner that's quite accurate. No more fumbling around with a tuner on stage or on your stand, not to mention the fact that you won't have to wonder where you left it! Another great thing about the tuner is that it has an auto shut off feature which shuts the tuner down after 60 seconds. Not only a great add on, but well thought out, since it saves battery life.
The general construction of the guitar features a unique, non-scalloped X-bracing inside. An inverted L-block creates a tighter connection between the body and the neck, and also provides a full, deep low end which is obvious as soon as you begin to play. I would not hesitate to travel with this one and again, the sound is real nice.
OK, sorry about the corny section title, because this is really the important part. How does it play and how does it sound? Well, you should know that I had the guitar in my possession for about a month. I played it casually, also in rehearsals and out for one performance. Most of my playing was in my living room with a small group. My overall comments are all positive. Before I even plugged it in, I was impressed with several things. First it stays in tune and it plays in tune. I'm referring to overall intonation here and not just the tuning. When I looked at the instrument tuning I used my DTR-1000 Korg Tuner. Doing this allowed me to not only see that the guitar played in tune, but also that the onboard tuner was really accurate. All the way up the neck the notation is very consistent. This is part of why the guitar just sounds so darn good. I really didn't have to do a lot of tweaking with it, even after hours of playing. The neck was straight as an arrow out of the box and the action was quite good with very minimal string buzz when playing up the neck. I am continually impressed with the tone. I know that this is fairly subjective, but there is a good balance between the highs and lows. As far as guitars go, this one sounds great; however, I hadn't plugged it in yet.
As I plugged it in there was only one main consideration. How well is the sound reproduced? Although I care that it sounds "good", what I am looking for here is that the reproduction in the tone of this guitar is accurate to what the guitar sounds like un-amplified. With the EQ flat and the preamp set at the midpoint, my question was answered and I was happy as there really is an amazing reproduction of sound. OK, this is what Yamaha is good at, but still, I wasn't expecting it to be this true to the guitar itself. From here I began to play with the EQ and was satisfied with its operation. The Midrange Freq adjustment is really super. Originally I didn't think I'd use it much on the guitar itself, but when I led worship in a small room with a substandard system, I was able to get a great quality sound from the guitar. I was surprised with its response and the fact that I really will find this useful. That might sound odd to those of you who are techies, but remember that this adjustment is usually done at the mixer. Having the additional control on the instrument itself is stellar. I'm ready to just sit here and play for a while.
One great thing about this guitar is that it's really playable. Nice action, good feel and great sound. I would not hesitate to lead worship on a regular basis with this guitar, nor would I balk about taking it to the beach for the afternoon. I lead worship fairly regularly in both a small group and in a larger setting. In both places I would not feel out of place. This is a good, solid instrument and a tremendous value.
When choosing a guitar for myself I ask three specific questions; How does it sound? How does it play? How does it look? In every area I would have to say that the FGX730SCA Acoustic/Electric passes all of my tests brilliantly. With an MSRP of $799.99 (and you can find it online for less than that), this guitar is a steal. The price puts it on the cusp of the high end for low range acoustics and the low end of midrange guitars. I would put this up against most any of the midrange acoustics out there. By the way, you can also order a Left-Handed version and a 12-String version of this same guitar. And don't forget that it's a Yamaha so it also carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
OK, there is one glaring question that I have for Yamaha. What's with the name? It's like I'm playing the "Secret Agent Guitar". You've given it a number and taken away its name. I know, you have so many to choose from and I get that, but it just seems silly to me since it's such a nice instrument. For the price and for what it is, this one won't be a secret for very long. Find one and play it. I think you'll agree.


Two back-country skiers spent a long, cold night in the woods Sunday, December 11, after they got stuck in extremely deep snow in the Lolo Pass area. Missoula County Search and Rescue Chief Joe Blattner says the skiers were expected back by sunset, but never showed up.
"Around 11:00 P.M. or so, our Search and Rescue Coordinator Deputies were able to inform us that there were two adult males in the Lolo Pass area that were reported as overdue from a back country ski trip that they had," Blattner said.
Fifteen volunteer Missoula County Search and Rescue members came out to help search, along with two Forest Service officers, three Sheriff's deputies, and two members of the Five Valleys Back-country Ski Patrol. Two Bear Air was also called to help search from the ski.
"They were around the Crystal Amphitheater area when they encountered some pretty treacherous terrain," Blattner said. "They reported snow that was chest deep and they got a little bit turned around. This search and rescue mission lasted several hours, but the two were prepared for snow conditions with adequate clothing and food and water, which was excellent, there was no medical attention needed."
This was the third Missoula County Search and Rescue mission in just ten days. Blattner says that the number of rescue missions always seems to increase when there is precipitation. He also advises all back-country explorers to be prepared with equipment to deal with potential avalanches.

I am trying to calculate the work function of single sheet like graphene with molecules on the surface. I am using the vtotav script to average the potential.
Error opening or reading file LOCPOT.
The LOPCOTfile contain 41 atoms, not 81 but error note 34 atoms. I do not know the meaning of this error massage.
Or Could anyone provide a script for people who investigate a single sheet system like graphene instead of a slab model like me?

The First Principle Of Advertising
When you come to bat in a baseball game the first principle is to hit the ball. What happens after you hit the ball is out of your control. Where the ball happens to land and what the defense does is secondary. First you have to hit the ball.
If you can't hit the ball the rest is irrelevant. It doesn't matter how strong you are, or how fast you run, or how beautiful your swing is. If you can't hit the ball, you are useless.
In advertising there is also a first principle. The first principle of advertising is to attract someone's attention.
If your ad doesn't attract someone's attention, everything else is moot. It doesn't matter how lovely it is, how wonderfully it is written, how strategically brilliant it is, or how precisely it is targeted. If nobody notices it, it is a complete waste and utterly worthless.
Sadly, most advertising is invisible. Most advertising is ignored largely because it looks and sounds exactly like advertising -- and usually like someone else's advertising. This is not good. But there is one place where invisible advertising has found a welcome and comforting home -- online.
In other media, invisible advertising is recognized as a failure. Not online. Online advertising is judged by how precisely it is targeted, not how widely it is noticed.
In traditional media even awful advertising usually gets noticed. This is because it's often big, loud, annoying and relentless. Online, even the rare excellent ad gets ignored. This is because it's small, quiet, and interactive -- and consumers are about a thousand times more likely to "interact" by clicking away from it than clicking in to it.
The unmistakable fact is that essentially nobody notices online advertising. As a rule, it gains no attention. Have there been some cases of online advertising attracting a lot of attention? Sure there have. But the likelihood of it happening is alarmingly remote.
The religion of precision targeting and one-to-one communication tries very hard to ignore the fact that online advertising has scandalously low impact. The science of how dreadful online ads are at attracting attention is available (a few examples here and here) but the science is mostly ignored because most marketers don't understand the difference between science and data.
The truth is most advertisers and most marketers don't really want to know the facts. They have already put a large stack of chips on online advertising. Fear of finding out (FOFO) that they have been wasting large sums of money on a medium that is corrupt, fraud-ridden, dangerous, and largely invisible keeps them in a state of nervous denial.
The proliferation of media types has made attracting attention a much more difficult task than it's ever been. And much more important. To a large degree, marketing communication has become a contest to garner attention.
Those who believe the primary objective of advertising is to engage an individual do not understand the first principle of advertising. Engaging an individual is the slow bus to nowhere. Advertising's first objective is to gain the attention of a lot of people.
If it doesn't, you'll never get to first base.

Un-riffed MSTie Movies
Although I'm having to rebuild my local video library, I'm still adding new content to my library. Well, not all is new.
Yes, I've added most of the recent Oscar winners -- Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, etc. -- so some is actually new, or at least within-the-last-year new. Some, though, isn't new by any stretch of the imagination. Unless "new" means something I didn't have before. And that's the definition I'm using.
Just as I'm trying to include all of the "best" movies in my collection, I'm also collecting some of the worst. And, no, winning an Oscar doesn't mean something is the best, not really. You can look at all the Oscar winners and easily come to that conclusion. But, still, it's one of the criteria I'm using.
But, the worst? How do you judge the worst movies? One criterion is it being riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I could easily add The Film Crew, RiffTrax, and Cinematic Titanic as other criteria. Golden Turkey Award winners. Golden Raspberry Award winners. Rotten Tomatoes. There are plenty of ways to select movies as the worst.
Right now, I'm focusing on the MST3K movies. And, I'm making progress.
There were 13 episodes each in Seasons 1 and 2 on Comedy Channel, and Seasons 9 and 10 pm Sci-Fi Channel. There were 24 each in Seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6 (Comedy Central). There were 22 in Season 8 (Sci-Fi Channel). There were 14 in Season 11 (on Netflix). Season 7 (Comedy Central) had seven episodes, but the first two episodes were the same movie, just different host segments (a Turkey Day special and a regular episode with the same movie), making it six movies total. There were 6 in Season 12 (Netflix). There was also a movie. Add to that the 21 episodes of the KTMA season, but take away the nine that were re-done in Season 3, and you have a total of 12 for that season. Oh, and the pilot/promo. That's another movie.
All that math means 210 movies to cover 220 episodes/pilots/movies.
Here's where I stand:
KTMA/Pilot
Pilot: The Green Slime
Ep. 3: Star Force: Fugitive Alien II (This is the only actual episode of MST3K I don't have. I do have the original film, and the Season 3 version, but not the KTMA version)

A cursory look at the geological map shows the UK has been significantly uplifted and tilted to the east. The subsequent opening of the Atlantic Ocean caused further deformation resulting from buckling against the stable tectonic interior of continental Europe. These events profoundly affected many of the basins of sedimentary rock that make up the British Isles — including those considered to contain large shale resources and where carbon dioxide injection is proposed. Although it is generally assumed shale gas extraction would work if exploration drilling went ahead, little attention has been paid to whether the country's geology is suitable for shale oil and gas production. The effects of this same uplift reached into the North Sea where they have importance for saline aquifers that form potential carbon storage sites. This talk will cover some of the fundamental geological uncertainties which need to be considered by the UK when considering carbon storage and shale gas extraction as viable solutions.

Brandywine EVP George Sowa Named CEO of Trenton Economic Development Group

George Sowa, CEO of Greater Trenton. (Steve Lubetkin photo/StateBroadcastNews.com. All rights reserved.)
This story was originally reported for our content partner, GlobeSt.com.
TRENTON, NJ—(SBN)—George D. Sowa, a former senior executive of Brandywine Realty Trust who most recently helped steer Brandywine's redevelopment efforts in the Gateway District of Camden, NJ, has been named chief executive officer of Greater Trenton, an independent nonprofit organization formed last fall to advance economic revitalization in the state's capital city.
Sowa, a lifelong native of Trenton, was introduced to community and business leaders at a press briefing Monday at the New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance campus in Ewing Township, NJ.
"Finding the right CEO was the first order of business for our Board," says NJM president & CEO Bernie Flynn, who co-chairs Greater Trenton with Caren Franzini, the former longtime CEO of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. "Along with a depth of experience, credibility and relationships, we wanted someone with a track record of proven results in the economic development space and George is an outstanding fit."
In his role as CEO, Sowa will assemble a supporting staff and implement the organization's key objectives that include developing a long-term strategic plan and working collaboratively with public and private partners to spur development opportunities and bring new investments to the greater Trenton area, with an emphasis on the downtown core.
In an exclusive interview with StateBroadcastNews.com, Sowa says it was the right time in his career to make the change. (You can watch a video news report about Sowa's appointment in the player below.)
"It's important to make sure that we get new opportunities created for the residents of the city and to actually get people to feel good about being in the city," says Sowa. "We're going to be meeting with a lot of the residents and community groups to make sure we understand issues, but also when the right opportunities come along, that we make sure they're in the right spots in the city, because great opportunities in the wrong locations doesn't really build the community, and we need to do that."
The transportation infrastructure in Trenton will help position the city as an attractive hub for business, Sowa says. Rail lines serving New York, Philadelphia and Washington operated by Amtrak, NJ Transit, and SEPTA combine with the River Line light rail system in Trenton, and the Trenton-Mercer Airport provides air travel options as well. "We've got an infrastructure that other cities can only dream of," he says.
Sowa's family has deep roots in Trenton spanning over 100 years and he takes the helm of Greater Trenton after more than eighteen years at Brandywine.
Most recently, Sowa served as Brandywine's executive vice president and senior managing director for New Jersey and Delaware, where he was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the company's regional operations and development.
In Camden, Sowa led Brandywine's selection by Campbell Soup Company to be developer for Camden's Gateway District, a 1.5 million square foot mixed use master-planned development. Sowa has had substantial experience in urban development projects. Before joining Brandywine, Sowa was involved in two new development projects totaling over $100 million in New Brunswick, NJ.
"I have spent my entire life in the greater Trenton area and know its rich history. And having devoted my professional career to real estate development, I know its great potential to have a positive impact on the community and people's lives. My grandparents settled in Trenton, my mother graduated from Trenton Central High School, and I was born here. So I view the opportunity to make a difference by being apart of the revitalization of this great city as a personal honor and privilege," Sowa says.
"Successful economic development projects occur when there is collaboration between the private sector, community organizations and our city, state and county governments. George understands how important it is to build relationships and over the years has developed a very effective approach," says Franzini. "He is familiar with this area and has been instrumental in bringing successful economic development projects to Camden and New Brunswick. We're confident he'll bring that same focus and drive to his role as CEO of Greater Trenton."
Trenton Mayor Eric Jackson also offered his strong support of Sowa's selection. "We are on a 7.2 square mile stamp of land, not a lot of room, so it's important to bring the right mix of work, development and jobs," Jackson told GlobeSt.com exclusively. "We believe 'eds and meds' and light manufacturing are working for us. I don't want to put him in a box, I want him to bring what he believes is best for us. That's why we selected him."
Before joining Brandywine, Sowa was director of development for Keating Development Company and director of development/operations for Linpro/LCOR, a real estate investment and development company, specializing in complex urban development projects. Sowa serves on the national board and executive committee of the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP), and he is a past President of NAIOP's New Jersey chapter. He is also vice chairman of the board of the Chamber of Commerce of Southern New Jersey. He is a graduate of Cornell University.
Greater Trenton's Board of Directors includes NJM Insurance Group, Bristol Myers Squibb, Princeton Area Community Foundation, Investors Bank, TD Bank, Capital Health, PSEG, Thomas Edison State University, Wells Fargo Bank, Princeton University, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The organization's Board of Directors has made a multi-year commitment to fund the initiative.


The Effect of Mutual Task Sharing on the Number of Needed Health Workers at the Iranian Health Posts; Does Task Sharing Increase Efficiency?
Nowadays task sharing is a way to optimize utilization of human resources for health. This study was designed to assess the effect of task sharing, mutually between midwives and Family Health Workforces (FHWs), on the number of needed staff across the Iranian Health Posts.
The workload and required number of midwives and FHWs in a Health Post were calculated and compared in two different scenarios of task division using a combined approach for estimating the number of required staff. In the first scenario, the midwives and FHWs provide their specialized services and in the second one, using mutual task sharing, a midwife provides all services traditionally delivered by FHWs and each FHW provides prenatal care in addition to the special tasks. Sensitivity analysis was performed to estimate the effects of different hypotheses.
By applying mutual task sharing, the required number of staff for Health Posts was one midwife and two FHWs for a standard population of 12,500; one FHW less than that when no task sharing was applied. Sensitivity analysis illustrated that the number of needed staff is the same in both scenarios when different demographic, epidemiologic, cultural and organizational conditions were applied.
Task sharing can reduce the required number of health workers which increases efficiency and productivity at health facilities. However, apart from a need to consider quality, acceptability, and feasibility of care, increasing efficiency must be judged against the contextual circumstances.

IMAGING & ARCHEOLOGY: 3-D scanner digitizes ancient writing
For 3500 years, ancient Mesopotamian scribes pressed reed styluses into damp clay and generated millions of texts in various Ancient Near East languages.
For 3500 years, ancient Mesopotamian scribes pressed reed styluses into damp clay and generated millions of texts in various Ancient Near East languages. Since these documents were written on clay tablets, using a reed stylus, the impressions were wedge shaped, and are known as cuneiform texts (from the Latin cuneus, meaning "wedge").
The texts include medical treatises, historical texts, mathematical and grammatical exercises, and even beer recipes. Now, using a novel 3-D scanner developed at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD, USA; www.jhuapl.edu), these clay tablets can be digitally archived and published and provide researchers with high-quality, 3-D images of the world's oldest written documents.
By using off-the-shelf components, researchers at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have developed a 3-D scanning system that acquires the shape, color, and reflectance of objects and renders their characteristics in 3-D graphics format.Click here to enlarge image
"As the tablets are composed of wedges imprinted into clay tables with writing typically on all sides, photography and other forms of 2-D digitization were inadequate. What initially began as a search for an existing 3-D technology turned into a technology development effort as no commercial 3-D scanners could achieve the desired scan fidelity," says Daniel Hahn, who developed the technology with Kevin Baldwin and Donald Duncan.
In operation, Hahn's 3-D scanning system acquires the shape, color, and reflectance of objects and renders their characteristics in 3-D graphics format. The data that can then be saved, copied, shared, and manipulated with computer graphics-rendering software. Using the resulting images, users can then specify any viewing direction and lighting condition to best analyze the objects.
In the design of the prototype scanner, the object to be scanned is first placed in a vertical block that is mounted on top of an elevation stage (see figure). This stage is used to position the object within the focal range of an Lu120 1280 × 1024-pixel USB 2.0 camera module from Lumenera (Ottawa, ON, Canada; www.lumenera.com). Using a 0.25x telecentric lens from Edmund Optics (Barrington, NJ, USA; www.edmundoptics.com), the field of view of each pixel is magnified by a factor of four to 26.8 × 26.8 μm.
These optical components were chosen to optimize the tradeoff between lateral resolution and the scanner's field of view. Because both object and camera are fixed, image registration is maintained while lighting conditions can be varied by rotating an LP120 digital projector light source from InFocus (Wilsonville, OR, USA; www.infocus.com) about the tablet.
To provide optical data that can be rendered by 3-D graphics software, both color and shape information must be acquired. To accomplish this, color information is obtained by rotating the light source with individual RGB primary colors over twelve 30° azimuthal angles. Shape information is then obtained in two ways. First, the surface of the object is captured using a stereo technique in which a high-resolution surface normal map of the tablet is obtained. This is achieved by illuminating the object with collimated white light and acquiring 12 images at 30° azimuthal increments.
"Although this data is locally accurate, large-scale inaccuracies can occur," says Hahn. For this reason, a second method using structured lighting is used to generate globally accurate, low-resolution data of the surface height of the object. To accomplish this, four 1-D sinusoidal patterns, each out of phase by 90°, are projected onto the tablet over six 60° increments. Each of the images of different phase is used to determine an absolute phase unaffected by variations in surface reflectance using phase measurement interferometry. Resulting images are then compared to images of a flat white background to calculate the phase difference and corresponding relative tablet height.
When data from the color, stereo, and structured lighting technique are combined, an accurate topology of the tablet can be created. To demonstrate these results, Dean Snyder of Johns Hopkins has developed a Java applet that allows the brightness, specularity, and shading of a 4000-year old cuneiform tablet to be dynamically adjusted (www.jhu.edu/digitalhammurabi/2d+/2d+.html).
Although the original prototype was developed to image cuneiform tablets, a commercialized version of the scanner is now under development by Trilumen (Herndon, VA, USA; www.trilumen.com) to address the forensics and historic preservation markets. After entering into a licensing agreement with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in October, the company will also pursue the medical, quality control, and prototyping markets, and has partnered with Direct Dimensions (Owings Mills, MD, USA; www.directdimensions.com) for this purpose.

dire straits 1983 line up
West of Messines Ridge is the parallel Wulverghem (Spanbroekmolen) Spur and on the east side, the Oosttaverne Spur, which is also parallel to the main ridge. The 3rd Canadian Division captured Vapour Farm on the corps boundary, Furst Farm to the west of Meetcheele and the crossroads at Meetcheele but remained short of its objective. Officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres, Passchendaele was a three-month battle which started on July 31 and ended on November 6 2017 … Advances in the north of the attack front were retained by British and French troops but most of the ground taken in front of Passchendaele and on the Becelaere and Gheluvelt spurs was lost to German counter-attacks. In the first few hours of the Battle of Passchendaele, 846 New Zealand soldiers were killed, with 2700 more either wounded or dead. The German invasion of Belgium on 4 August 1914, in violation of Article VII of the treaty, was the reason given by the British government for declaring war. At about 7:00 p.m., German infantry attacked behind a smokescreen and recaptured all but the north-west corner of the wood; only the 25th Division gains on Westhoek Ridge to the north were held. Group Ypres counter-attacked the flanks of the British break-in, supported by every artillery piece and aircraft within range, around noon. [123], On 22 October the 18th (Eastern) Division of XVIII Corps attacked the east end of Poelcappelle as XIV Corps to the north attacked with the 34th Division between the Watervlietbeek and Broenbeek streams and the 35th Division northwards into Houthulst Forest. Wytschaete (Wijtschate) and Hill 60 are to the east of Verbrandenmolen, Hooge, Polygon Wood and Passchendaele (Passendale). The film was shot over a period of forty-five days and involved over 200 actors, some of them Canadian Forces soldiers with combat experience in Afghanistan. On 11 April, Plumer authorised a withdrawal of the southern flank of the Second Army. In a series of operations, Entente troops under British command attacked the Imperial German Army. [13] A meeting in London of the Admiralty and the General Staff urged that the Flanders operation be undertaken in 1917 and Joffre replied on 8 December, agreeing to a Flanders campaign after the spring offensive. [54] Gary Sheffield wrote in 2002 that Richard Holmes guessed that both sides suffered 260,000 casualties, which seemed about right to him. Despite writing that 448,614 British casualties was the BEF total for the second half of 1917, Wolff had neglected to deduct 75,681 casualties for the Battle of Cambrai, given in the Official Statistics from which he quoted or "normal wastage", averaging 35,000 per month in "quiet" periods. [22] Haig wished to exploit the diversion of German forces in Russia for as long as it continued and urged the British War Cabinet to commit the maximum amount of manpower and munitions to the battle in Flanders. The battle, better known simply as Passchendaele, has become a byword for senseless slaughter. The Third Battle of Ypres (German: Dritte Flandernschlacht; French: Troisième Bataille des Flandres; Dutch: Derde Slag om Ieper), also known as the Battle of Passchendaele (/ ˈ p æ ʃ ən d eɪ l /), was a campaign of the First World War, fought by the Allies against the German Empire. Haig was pleased with the French success but regretted the delay, which had lessened its effect on the Flanders operations. [138] A decade later, Jack Sheldon wrote that relative casualty figures were irrelevant, because the German army could not afford the losses or to lose the initiative by being compelled to fight another defensive battle on ground of the Allies' choosing. It eventually became so deep that men and horses drowned in it. Two battalions of the 2nd New Zealand Brigade of the New Zealand Division attacked the low ridge, from which German observers could view the area from Cameron Covert to the north and the Menin road to the south-west. Canadian soldiers had succeeded in the face of … Ludendorff wrote. Fighting went on, often in … [135] In his Memoirs of 1938, Lloyd George wrote, "Passchendaele was indeed one of the greatest disasters of the war ... No soldier of any intelligence now defends this senseless campaign ...". Meeting at Chantilly, France, in November 1916, Allied leaders discussed plans for the upcoming year. Some ground was captured and about 150 prisoners were taken but the attack on the redoubts failed and observation over the heads of the valleys on the east and north sides of the ridge was not achieved. Further south, is the muddy valley of the River Douve, Ploegsteert Wood (Plugstreet to the British) and Hill 63. Allied troops attacked the German Army in many operations. The battle began on the 31st July 1917. [19] The wearing-out process would continue on a front where the Germans had no room to retreat. [93] Minor attacks took place after 20 September, as both sides jockeyed for position and reorganised their defences. On 2 October, Rupprecht had ordered the 4th Army HQ to avoid over-centralising command, only to find that Loßberg had issued an artillery plan detailing the deployment of individual batteries. [107] A contact patrol aircraft was arranged to fly over the area at 7:30 a.m.[105], On 4 October, the British began the Battle of Broodseinde to complete the capture of the Gheluvelt Plateau and occupy Broodseinde Ridge. On 16 May, Haig wrote that he had divided the Flanders operation into two phases, one to take Messines Ridge and the main attack several weeks later. Other answers will cover the military details, this is more about the "feel" or "sense" of the battle and how it's remembered today. Monday marks 100 years since the Battle of Passchendaele, ... Those who fought there included Harry Patch, the "Last Tommy" who died aged 111 in 2009. The objective was to eliminate a German salient between Avion and the west end of Lens, by taking reservoir Hill (Hill 65) and Hill 70.

Jesus came to found a spiritual kingdom–himself the King–of truth and righteousness. It opposes every evil thing and champions the right. He is to guide and empower for service.
The building is to be done by his people–the church. Hence he sent out his disciples (Matt. 10, 5 etc.), the Seventy (Lk. 10, 1), and gave the Great Commission (Mk. 16, Matt. 28). It is our work.
How are we to build it?
1. By preaching the gospel (1 Cor. 1, 21; Mk. 16, 15). This has first place; it calls men to him–the first work of the church.
3. By the help of personal influence. Every act should contribute to this cause.
4. By fostering every good cause. Rejoice that so many things contribute to it, as tributary streams enlarge the river.
5. Money consecrated to his cause is a great power for good.
Why do you desire money, for self or to help build the kingdom?
This vitiates or consecrates every act. Let all be done for his kingdom.
Can the Lord depend on you?
Will you be true at all times and do what you can to help?
The death of Jesus made a profound impression on the Centurion, who was over the soldiers who crucified him–the seven words from the cross, & the natural phenomena as well. Certainly he was a righteous man; nothing else could explain it.
What we are & do impresses others about us–our spirit, our general deportment [are] our service to others; yes, & our death.
If we profess faith in Christ they expect us to live a new life, to be different from our former lives.
How carefully ought we to live.
(1) A consistently religious life. This is so important, let we offend others.
(2) In doing good, serving others where we are, in humility and love. "Jesus went about doing good." Love finds a way.
Such people, in life and in death, impress others for good.
No one can gainsay such a life. What a blessing all such people are!

Q: Y axis labels are not ordered like the bars in seaborn I have a data frame called general_stats that has information about YouTube channels like title, number of subscribers and such.
I want to plot the channels name against the number of subscribers for each in a bar plot using seaborn. but when I try to order the bars by the number of subs they get ordered but the y axis labels stay the same.
This is before ordering :
fprop = fm.FontProperties(fname='FontsKR/NotoSansCJKtc-Regular.otf')

names = general_stats['Channel_name']
subs = general_stats['Subscribers_Count']

fig = sns.barplot(x=subs, y=names, palette ='Blues_r').set_yticklabels(labels =
names,fontproperties=fprop, fontsize=12)
fig ;

which gives me this result :

and this is after ordering :
fprop = fm.FontProperties(fname='FontsKR/NotoSansCJKtc-Regular.otf')

names = general_stats['Channel_name']
subs = general_stats['Subscribers_Count']

fig = sns.barplot(x=subs, y=names, palette ='Blues_r', order=
general_stats.sort_values('Subscribers_Count',
ascending=False).Channel_name).set_yticklabels(labels = names,fontproperties=fprop,
fontsize=12)
fig;

and it gives me this plot:

as you can see, the bars got ordered but the y axis labels stayed the same. how can i order them with the bars without ordering the data frame itself ?
i have to set the ytick labels myself so i can display the chinese/korean/japanese characters. maybe its because i set the yticklabels after the bars were ordered ? how can i bypass this cause i do need the font that i am using !

A: Yes, this happens because you set the y tick labels after the bars were ordered, so you need to use the sorted names there as well. Try this:
fprop = fm.FontProperties(fname='FontsKR/NotoSansCJKtc-Regular.otf')

names = general_stats['Channel_name']
subs = general_stats['Subscribers_Count']

names_ordered = general_stats.sort_values('Subscribers_Count',
                                          ascending=False).Channel_name

ax = sns.barplot(x=subs, y=names, palette='Blues_r',
                 order=names_ordered)
ax.set_yticklabels(labels=names_ordered, fontproperties=fprop, fontsize=12)
