Wait, so you drink like it's St. Patrick's Day, dress up like it's Halloween, and put on an interactive musical? What is this? It's Purim, of course. Will you celebrate with us?
Every year, A Very Awesome Purim throws a big Purim party and puts on a musical about a drunken king, an evil prime minister, and a queen who saves the entire Jewish population. The production strikes a careful balance of off-color humor, on-key parodies, and surprisingly poignant lessons about cultural acceptance.With your help, we choose a theme—this year: "Beatles"—and translate it into an original musical telling the story of Purim.
An interactive musical featuring parodies of your favorite beatles songs. Drinking! In Purim tradition, you're supposed to drink until you can't tell the difference between the good guy and the bad guy in the story. (It's not difficult) A costume party. Dress to the theme, or any costume will do. A boisterous sing-a-long: : With songs like "Hey Jews" and "While their Shofars Gently Weep" and more audience participation than ever before, this is not a year to miss. The greatest party of the year. We might be biased. Guess you'll have to find out. Purim-mania is coming in March to a theater near you (if you live in Philly...or Brooklyn!) Get ready to scream your lungs out for our Fab Four: John Lennonberg, Paul McCartneywitz, George Harristein, and Ringo Starr of David. Money can't buy you love, but it can definitely buy you a ticket to A Very Beatles Purim.
Note: You do not need to be Jewish or know anything about Purim to attend this Purim party. This is a celebration for everyone.
Past themes include Broadway (2018), Disney (2017), One-Hit Wonders (2016), Glam Rock (2015) and 90's (2014).

The previous iPhone, the 4S, was the record holder for most units sold the quickest. The new iPhone 5 has topped that record with 2 million handhelds pre-sold, almost doubling the 4S' output.
In a statement on its website, Apple writes that the majority of iPhones will ship on September 21, but that some, due to the popularity, will not ship until October.
"iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we've ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do," Apple's Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller said.
The new model is available at Apple's 356 retail stores in the United States, as well as at Verizon, AT&T and Wal-Mart starting this Friday morning. At the Apple stores, users get free customized set up for their phones, including some app awareness.
That'll make the waiting line move a little faster, right??
AT&T piggy-backed the Apple announcement, declaring this the most successful iPhone launch, ever.
People are already camped out in New York and London, awaiting the hands-on moment.
The new iPhone sports a larger screen, a lighter and thinner body and a better camera, along with software upgrades and a new Apple Maps interface. Prices range from $199 to $399 on the new model.

Recalibrating the Municipal Bond Rating Scale
Apr 26, 2010 | Municipal Bond Market News/Research, Municipal Bond Trading & Underwriting, Municipal Bonds, Municipal Finance, Municipal Finance - General
The one thing that seems certain in these uncertain economic times is change.
The dictionary definition of recalibrate is to determine, check, or rectify the graduation of any given scale of measurement – all over again.
And that's exactly what's happening in the world of municipal bond ratings, as two of the three major rating agencies recently began their recalibration of municipal rating scales. The move has been met with both support and skepticism within the industry.
Regardless of which side of the fence your opinion falls, the changes are underway. Following is a summary of recent actions by Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, with links to additional websites to visit for more information.
(Note: registration is free, but required to access portions of Fitch's, Moody's and Standard & Poor's websites, including some press releases and articles.)
Fitch Ratings implemented ratings recalibrations of U.S. states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and New York City on April 5, 2010, with further recalibrations to be put into effect on April 30. According to Fitch, "The intent of the recalibration is to ensure a greater degree of comparability across Fitch's global portfolio of credit ratings. This recalibration will affect ratings in the state and local government tax-supported, water/sewer, public power distribution-only, and public higher education sectors."
Fitch: Ratings Definitions
Fitch: Recalibration of U.S. Public Finance Ratings
On April 16, 2010 Moody's Investors Services began the recalibration of its municipal bond ratings in order to "enhance the comparability of ratings across the Moody's-rated universe." Although the move to a global rating system will result in an upward shift, Moody's would prefer that market participants view the recalibrations not as rating upgrades, but rather, as recalibrations to a different scale.

Moody's: Frequently Asked Questions About the Recalibration of U.S. Municipal Ratings to the Global Rating Scale
Moody's: Rating Symbols and Definitions
Standard & Poor's Financial Services already uses a global rating scale across the structured finance, corporate, and government sectors. In a November 2009 press release, discussing the recalibration of Standard & Poor's (S &P) ratings for collateralized debt obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities, Chief Credit Officer Mark Adelson says, "Comparability of ratings is important because ratings can serve as a common vocabulary to describe credit risk. When ratings are comparable across sectors, investors can better use them to compare the credit risk of securities in different sectors, thereby helping them to assess whether there are potential discrepancies in the pricing of credit risk in different sectors."

Karel Stuart (22. října 1660 – 5. května 1661) byl první ze čtyř synů a osmi dětí, které vzešli z manželství mezi králem Jakuba II. Stuarta (v té době ještě vévoda z Yorku) a jeho první manželky, Anny Hydeové. Měl mu náležet titul vévody z Cambridge, avšak zemřel do roka od svého narození a titul mu tak nebyl nikdy formálně přidělen.

Karel byl počat sedm měsíců před oficiálním sňatkem jeho rodičů a kdyby se královna Henrietta Marie, matka Jakuba II., nezastala u královských rádců, byl by nejspíš prohlášen za nelegitimního. Král Karel II., starší bratr Jakuba, zorganizoval sňatek co nejrychleji a svatba se tak konala 3. září 1660 v Londýně, měsíc před Karlovým narozením.

Karel se narodil 22. října 1660 a byl pokřtěn 1. ledna 1661. Nedožil se však ani svých prvních narozenin, nakazil se a podlehl neštovicím dne 5. května 1661. Byl pohřben ve Westminster Abbey den po svém úmrtí. Tři z jeho mladších bratrů rovněž nepřežilo dětství a tak titul vévody z Cambridge přecházel z jednoho na druhého - Jakuba, Edgara a Karla.

On 25 November 2009, an Ayres Corporation S2RT341 aircraft, registered VH-NZB (Figure 1), was being operated on a ferry flight from Parkes, New South Wales (NSW) to Batchelor, Northern Territory (NT), with an initial intermediate stop at Longreach, Queensland (Qld). While on final approach to Longreach, without warning, the aircraft's nose pitched upward and an aerodynamic stall resulted. The pilot, the sole occupant, regained control and the aircraft landed safely.
A subsequent engineering investigation by the aircraft's maintenance provider determined that the elevator push rods had been fitted in the reverse order during recent maintenance, thus restricting the amount of nose down elevator travel available to the pilot.
ensuring that all employees are aware of their responsibilities when conducting dual maintenance inspections on flight control systems.

Sutton Recruitment shortlisted for prestigious regional recruitment award
Home » Sutton Recruitment shortlisted for prestigious regional recruitment award
A recruitment agency in Hull has been shortlisted for the "Business of the Year Small: Under 25 employees" award in the 2019 Hull Daily Mail Business Awards.
The shortlisted agency, Sutton Recruitment, is one of The Recruit Venture Group's many successful joint venture partners and last year rebranded having previously been trading as Jark (Hull) Ltd.
I am really proud of all my team, 2018/2019 was a very busy year for us and it is great to see that hard work recognised.
The independent recruitment agency is owned by Graeme Sutton, who has worked been working in recruitment for almost two decades. Graeme said he was thrilled to have been shortlisted for the prestigious award after a successful year for his business.
He said: "I am really proud of all my team, 2018/2019 was a very busy year for us and it is great to see that hard work recognised.
"The rebrand was a real team effort, all the staff played their part in making it a success and I couldn't be prouder of the Sutton Recruitment team.
"It was a good year for the business and to see that success highlighted by the Hull Daily Mail at one of the region's biggest business events is very humbling.
"A few years ago, if you would have told me that one day I would be the owner of a business shortlisted for regional awards, I would have said no chance but my partnership with The Recruit Venture Group have given me everything I need to make it happen."
Graeme's business is based in Hull city centre and supplies a range of local commercial, driving and industrial businesses with a mix of temporary, permanent and contract staff.
Paul Mizen, Managing Director of The Recruit Venture Group said Sutton Recruitment's shortlisting was much deserved.
"Graeme and his team have worked really hard over the past year and I really hope they go on to win the award," he said.
"The success of Sutton Recruitment is a great example of what is possible when a driven local recruiter is given the chance to launch their own business.
"Graeme has built a great team in his office and together they deliver for their candidates and clients day in day out."
Sutton Recruitment will find out if they are successful at the Hull Daily Mail Business Awards on Thursday November 14th.

Save this old house
Updated Jan 05, 2019; Posted Oct 29, 2009
By Pam Lundborg
Zachary BelilThis Ward Wellington Ward house is offered for $55,000
The November issue of This Old House magazine spotlights a Syracuse home as its "Save This Old House" feature.
The home at 110 Highland Ave. was designed by Ward Wellington Ward for Frank Garrett, president of the Syracuse Lithography Company. The Craftsman style house is nearly 100 years old. Five years of vacancy has left the house in disrepair.
It's on the market for $55,000.
Ward designed about 200 homes for Syracuse's wealthiest residents. The Garrett House is 2,800 square feet and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The home has elaborate tile work, a rounded-angle roof, Craftsman details and a grand staircase. It needs new heating, plumbing and electrical systems.
The home was separated into three apartments but could be converted back into a single-family house.
The listing agent, Zachary Belil, said the response from the magazine has been overwhelming. Hundreds of people have called about the property, he said. There are a few potential buyers seriously looking at the property, including one construction businessman from Ohio who specializes in refurbishing Craftsman houses, Belil said.
"The response from the magazine has been over the top," he said. "We're sitting on dozens of treasures here in Syracuse."
For more information, call Belil at 917-319-4627.


Today I canned tomatoes. It's a long tradition in my family.
On steamy, hot summer days in Maryland, the small gas stove in my Grandmothers basement was lit. The women in the family were busy cutting and peeling tomatoes right from the garden. As a child it seemed like a day long project they were only finished when all the tomatoes were done and the jars were on the shelves in the basement. These women, my Grandmother and her daughters knew how important it was to have food on the shelves. They had gone through the depression. My Grandmother fed many Hobo's tomato sandwiches, they were appreciative and it might have been the only meal they would have had that day.
My Mother continued the practice and I can vividly see the stocked shelves in our basement.. Jars and jars of blueberries picked from the farm, peaches from our own tree, tomatoes, beans and corn from our garden, and pickles of all kinds. She always made Mustard Pickle with a recipe that was handed down from my Dad's Mom. I wish I could find the recipe.
Today I am also cooking diced tomatoes in the crock pot. Herbs,garlic and peppers from the garden are added to the tomatoes and some diced onions from the farmers market top it off. These will be put in packets and frozen for sauces for this coming winter.
I am hoping to dry some peaches and more herbs. Plan to freeze the string beans and some corn and make pickled beets.
Angus went to the vets yesterday. He had been having all sorts of problems. He will celebrate his `17th birthday next week along with his brother Shorty. His blood work and tests came back in the okay range so fluids were given and he has to take an appetite enhancer. He hates pills and will hold them in the side of his mouth for as long as 10 minutes and then you see him spit it out! Dr. Funk showed me how to do it. He has to go back today for more fluids. He was so happy to be home. He likes living upstairs now.
Its been raining here for a couple of days now so I did not do the farmers market yesterday. It's a gentle rain so that is good. The cukes are starting to ripen and there may be enough for making bread and butter pickles later this month. Chris will be leaving on Sunday and Ricky will be here for a few days. He will be helping me to inventory all the family items in the house. We will take a picture of the item and then he will write a narrative. So many things have been handed down to me I want my family to know where these things came from.
Here is the latest photo of the boys. They are grand roosters. They have marvelous crows and are very friendly. When it gets cooler they will be living with the sheep upstairs for the winter.

The Fight for 'Wynonna Earp' Season 4: Why the Hit Show Isn't Back to Filming and What Fans Are Doing About It
Posted on Friday, March 22nd, 2019 by Shana Oneil
Production on season 4 of SYFY's hit series Wynonna Earp should be chugging along right now. Melanie Scrofano should be swearing in new and creative ways. Creator and showrunner Emily Andras should be wrangling cast, crew, and production staff. Fans should be clamoring for pictures and sneak peeks and any little bit of information they can glean from their favorite show on television.
None of that is happening right now. Instead, the entire cast, crew, and production staff of Wynonna Earp is collectively holding their breath while waiting on a green light to start production on a season 4 that's already been renewed and should be, at least, 3 episodes into filming.
As someone who's been a fan of genre TV for decades, I'm used to seeing shows I love get canceled because of low ratings or because a network wasn't willing to take a chance on a show that might not reach a broader audience because it's niche, but in all my years as a fan, I've never seen anything like what's going on with SYFY's Wynonna Earp.
The series has earned both ratings and critical success, earning a season 4 renewal fresh on the heels of its season 3 finale. It's also earned a large and loyal fan base, of which I'm a member. Earpers, as they've dubbed themselves, love the show for numerous reasons: its cast, its commitment to diversity, LGBTQIA representation as part of daily life, great dialogue, the ability to be both intensely dramatic and not take itself too seriously all at the same time. The list goes on. How much do fans love the show? Wynonna Earp won a People's Choice Award as a write-in candidate thanks to Earper dedication.
In other words, Wynonna Earp is a hit by every measurable metric and certainly was on track to go into production on season 4 last month. The cast was was already to show up to work. Executive producer Emily Andras was ready to go. Everything on the Toronto-based side of things was geared up to roll and then… nothing.
The Earp Quake
On February 21, series star Melanie Scrofano tweeted the news. Wynonna Earp season 4 was on hold.
The tweet sent a shudder through Twitter and, suddenly Earpers flooded social media with questions for SYFY and IDW Publishing, a division of IDW Entertainment. IDW is also the owner of the rights and the production company who finances Wynonna Earp. The hashtag #FightForWynonna caught fire across Twitter and Wynonna Earp fans all over the world wanted to know why the show they love so much was suddenly in limbo.
On February 22, SYFY issued a statement saying they remained 100% committed to the show, reminding fans that they'd ordered season 4 and nothing had changed. Space Channel in Canada had also committed to season 4 so, for all intents and purposes, the delay wasn't coming from the network side of things.
This is where the situation gets more convoluted. After all, most genre shows that don't continue are either canceled by the network or don't get renewed. In this case, the network was totally on board. So what gives?
Better question. Who isn't giving? Answer? IDW Entertainment.
What's holding up Wynonna Earp Season 4?
IDW Entertainment is producing Wynonna Earp and IDW Publishing currently owns the rights to the media property. Both IDW Entertainment and IDW Publishing are divisions of IDW Media Holdings. Recently ADW, a hedge fund and shareholder of IDW Media Holdings, announced its intention to sell IDW Media Holdings, Inc or push IDW to basically sell itself (I'll be honest, there's a lot of information here and I'm not a financial advisor, but Institutional Investor did a great rundown if you want the nitty-gritty) because IDW is currently running a net loss financially.
Because of their financial situation, IDW needs cash to pay for season 4 of Wynonna Earp and, thus far, it doesn't have it. Which is why everyone's in a holding pattern.
Like I said earlier, this is a rare situation for genre fans. In this case, Wynonna has a network, it just needs money to produce it and IDW doesn't have the money. So the question is, what now?
Last week, Adam Wyden, the founder of ADW, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the Fight for Wynonna and, well, it sort of went over like a lead balloon. "How do we justify making season four and five if we know we're going to lose money?", Wyden said, being about as blunt as one can be:
"Someone's got to pick up the tab. I suspect people at IDW are working hard on it, but the question is, if Amazon, Netflix or whoever don't want to buy the international window, how can you expect IDW to say, 'OK, we didn't sell season three international, but, by the way, we'll make season four and five.' It doesn't work like that. It needs to get sold."
Now, all of this may be 100% true, but Wyden's suggestions came off as both dismissive and unhelpful by saying "I think if all these Wynonna Earp people really want it to come back, they should be emailing Netflix and saying, 'Pick up the international rights'". First off, describing the cast, crew, and fans of Wynonna Earp as "These Wynonna people" is kind of a dick move, but "email Netflix" isn't all that helpful. Who at Netflix? A little help here, Adam.
IDW Publishing was not amused and shot back a message via Twitter.
IDW has its own message. We can speak for ourselves, thank you very much. And we thank all you #earpers for your support —the billboards are amazing — and your encouragement. We stand with you and are doing our part to #FightForWynonna. Stay tuned.
— IDW Publishing (@IDWPublishing) March 15, 2019
Long story short, the networks want season 4 of Wynonna Earp. The cast and crew of Wynonna Earp want season 4 of Wynonna Earp. IDW wants season 4 of Wynonna Earp. The fans want season 4 of Wynonna Earp.
But so far, there's no season 4 of Wynonna Earp.
Earpers Have No Chill
Earpers, who are hugely fond of the hashtag #NoChill (it's basically a mission statement) have done everything they can to get the attention of anyone and everyone who can help get Wynonna Earp season 4 into production.
Tweets with the hashtag #FightForWynonna are just part of the push, They've also had signs on the Today Show, billboards in Times Square (last count according to Wynonna Earp fan Bridget Liszewski is 45) There's even a website dedicated specifically to the Fight For Wynonna.
The cast of Wynonna Earp is also lending their voices to the fight.
Hey @IDWPublishing, we are here (in Earp Square) and we stay (until we hear that production on S4 has started).

Most recently, fans have been asking Netflix to add season 3 of Wynonna Earp because Netflix would have to buy the airing rights and, essentially, infuse cash into IDW which could help fund season 4.
And, from where I'm sitting, Earpers are showing no sign of stopping:
"Keep reminding yourselves that it's a marathon, not a sprint. Polite #NoChill your hearts out and be as loud and proud about your love for Wynonna Earp as you can. We've been through these fights before, but we need everyone working together now like never before. We want anyone who wonders about our passion to know loud and clear that when it comes to the #FightForWynonna, Earpers are always ALL IN!"
The longer this delay goes on, the more likely cast and crew on Wynonna Earp will end up being released from contracts or need to move on to other projects. The Canadian film and television scene is both busy and overlapping, so it's likely there will be scheduling conflicts as time goes on. It's clear that everyone who's working on Wynonna Earp is hoping to make the show happen and wants to make it happen.
But, sooner or later, someone's going to have to make some decisions. Right now, there's a series with good ratings, loyal fans, and one hell of a media presence. All it needs is the money to make it happen. So the fight continues and, just like Wynonna herself, we're gonna fight till it kills us – and then we'll fight some more.

Another place to capture expressions are the subways; either on the platforms or in the cars themselves. My favorite images are the one of a young woman avidly watching a movie on her smartphone, while wearing a single hair roller to tame her fringe....and of the young girl who appears to be viewing a smart phone screen on an ad on a subway platform while her mother is busy texting on her real phone.
Once a black image is created, I clicked on File> Add Layer(s) From File, and used the Quick Mask tool (yellow arrow on left) to "paint" a line around Gui Lian. The Quick Mask tool wasn't sufficiently precise in blacking out all of the targeted areas, so I also used the Masking Brush tool (red arrow) and went over these areas on complete the task....a task that took me no more than 12 minutes; well within my range of tolerance. I then pumped up the saturation using Iridium Developer tools...a task that took under a minute.
Travel photography as a genre is one of the most open in terms of the subjects it covers. Many travel photographers specialise in a particular aspect of photography such as travel portraits, landscape or documentary photography as well as shooting all aspects of travel. Much of today's Travel Photography style is derived from early work in Magazines such as National Geographic magazine from photographers such as Steve McCurry. This genre of photography entails shooting a wide variety of subjects under varied available conditions, e.g. low light photography indoors, available ambient light photography for exteriors of buildings and monuments, shooting on the streets where sometimes conditions may be hostile, capturing moments which rarely recur, capturing the magic of light while shooting landscapes, etc.

Please contact our reservation & ticketing staff if you wish to book a child ticket only.
Old English boc "book, writing, written document," traditionally from Proto-Germanic *bokiz "beech" (cf. German Buch "book" Buche "beech;" see beech), the notion being of beechwood tablets on which runes were inscribed, but it may be from the tree itself (people still carve initials in them). The Old English word originally meant any written document. Latin and Sanskrit also have words for "writing" that are based on tree names ("birch" and "ash," respectively). Meaning "libretto of an opera" is from 1768. A betting book is from 1856.
Soon after, in early 1985, the company received the first two of its leased Lockheed L-1011 aircraft. One aircraft was used to launch Hawaiian's first scheduled operation out of Hawaiʻi, daily Honolulu-Los Angeles services. This new service put Hawaiian in direct competition with the major US air carriers for the first time in its history.[20] Throughout 1985 and 1986, Hawaiian Airlines added additional L-1011s to its fleet and used them to open up services to other West Coast gateway cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, and Anchorage, which placed Hawaiian in further competition against the major US airlines.[21]

Long-haul flights are brutal to your body, and jet-lag can cripple your productivity while you acclimate to your surroundings. I was practically giddy this week when I found a flight to South Africa a mere 36 hours long — 12 hours shorter than I had anticipated. After spending two or three days in transit, it typically takes me a day to feel functional again, and a week to feel normal.

Q: How to switch between multiple frames using Selenium and Java I want to send keys to Card Number, Expiration Date and CVV text fields which are in iframe.
Now what I observed is, when in the test case, whichever frame I write first to switch is located and the keys are sent and other two are ignored.
In below code, I mentioned expiration date frame first which is located but the card frame i.e. cddnumber id frame is not found.
cpp.fillintextfields.get(4).sendKeys("test@test.com");
WebElement es = driver1.findElement(By.id("CollectJSInlineccexp"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(es);
cpp.expdate.sendKeys("01/21");
driver1.switchTo().frame("CollectJSInlineccnumber");
Thread.sleep(2000);
cpp.cdnumber.sendKeys("4111111111111111");
Thread.sleep(5000);

Now when I mention cddnumber i.e. card number frame first as in code below and expiration date frame after that, card number frame is located and expiration date ones is not located.
cpp.fillintextfields.get(4).sendKeys("test@test.com");
driver1.switchTo().frame("CollectJSInlineccnumber");
Thread.sleep(2000);
cpp.cdnumber.sendKeys("4111111111111111");
Thread.sleep(5000);
WebElement es = driver1.findElement(By.id("CollectJSInlineccexp"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(es);
cpp.expdate.sendKeys("01/21");

Following are the TestNG traces of error given in short when I mention expiry date frame before card number frame:
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchFrameException: No frame element found by name or id CollectJSInlineccnumber
Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:17:03'
System info: host: 'KE5', ip: '10.6.6.105', os.name: 'Windows 7', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '6.1', java.version: '10.0.2'
Driver info: driver.version: unknown
    at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver$RemoteTargetLocator.frame(RemoteWebDriver.java:885)

Please help me and suggest me any solution to tackle this issue so that all the frames can be located even though I write them one after the other.

A: When you need to switch between two child frames of the same parent frame (e.g. Top Level Frame) you need to switch to the defaultContent which is either the first frame on the page, or the main document when a page contains iframes and then switch to the second child frame as follows:

*

*First code block:
cpp.fillintextfields.get(4).sendKeys("test@test.com");
WebElement es = driver1.findElement(By.id("CollectJSInlineccexp"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(es);
cpp.expdate.sendKeys("01/21");
driver1.switchTo().defaultContent();
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver1.switchTo().frame("CollectJSInlineccnumber");
Thread.sleep(2000);
cpp.cdnumber.sendKeys("4111111111111111");

*Second code block:
cpp.fillintextfields.get(4).sendKeys("test@test.com");
driver1.switchTo().frame("CollectJSInlineccnumber");
Thread.sleep(2000);
cpp.cdnumber.sendKeys("4111111111111111");
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver1.switchTo().defaultContent();
WebElement es = driver1.findElement(By.id("CollectJSInlineccexp"));
driver1.switchTo().frame(es);
cpp.expdate.sendKeys("01/21");

A long long time ago, people thought they understood most of the details of the workings of semiconductor devices. Life was simple – diodes were wide-based, and MOSFETs had long channels. In the world of multi-micron channel lengths, models involving abrupt junctions and rectangular depletion regions were enough. All you had to do was plug these simple models into Poisson's equation, couple it with the electron and/or hole continuity equation, add a transport equation, and viola, a simple closed-from analytical solution pops out. Now whatever you wanted to know about current outputs with certain voltage inputs are easily determined by simple plug-and-play. For diodes, it was easy enough to just use the equations so painstakingly derived by Shockley. Unlike in process modeling, where the equations are empirical in nature and necessarily complicated, the closed-form analytical solutions in device modeling are simple, and yet matched well with experimental results so there was no need for numerical simulations on computers.
But then in the early 80's some people realized that this comfortable life is not going to last forever. As how it usually happens in these things, a select group of university professors, who typically think 10 years ahead, began to see that future devices will have junctions that are not as abrupt, channel inversion layers that are not just a simple sheet of charge, and insulators that are not leak-proof. They realized that this is going to be a big problem, as the simple analytical equations derived from the simple models will not be very accurate anymore compared to the experimental data. To no surprise, these professors are from Stanford University, where it is claimed that Silicon Valley was fathered. Professor Robert Dutton and his TCAD group, together with Professor James Plummer, led the work on creating simulation tools for semiconductor device and process modeling. This project gave birth to the development of the Pisces device simulator and the Suprem process simulator. Eventually, these simulators became the core of the simulation packages that companies like Synopsys and Silvaco used for their commercial semiconductor simulators. As a side note, Professor Dutton got his BS, MS, and PhD degrees from UC Berkeley, and despite being currently a Stanford Professor, would still cheer in the annual football Big Game between the two rival schools on the side of the Golden Bears.
Nowadays, any advanced device research is inconceivable without the help of device simulators. Devices now are just too complex and too small to involve only simple calculations. For instance, feature sizes of a few nanometers require the use of quantum mechanics in understanding the device behavior. At this level, the high complexity and nonlinearity of the equations make analytical solutions impossible. Also, the cost of manufacturing prototypes of these complex devices have gone up by orders of magnitude. It is simply much easier and cheaper to let the device design be tested and optimized by the simulators, especially in the beginning.
In the new field of 3D-ICs, process limitations will require the use of unconventional device structures like for instance, recessed channel transistors and gated resistors. These either have more complicated structures or involve more complicated physics, and the proper simulation of their behaviors requires the inclusion of numerous physical models. A researcher in the field therefore, must necessarily be knowledgeable in the intricacies of device physics like various carrier-carrier scattering models, transport phenomena, and tunneling mechanisms to determine which ones are relevant and make sure that they are compatible with the use of each other.
Very few researchers who use device simulators even realize that the simulators can also be used to include thermal effects. This is accomplished by the simple coupling of the heat equation to the usual Poisson, continuity and transport equations. On the issue of heat dissipation in 3D-ICs, this turns out to be useful in the analysis of thermal generation in devices and the design of thermal pathways for dissipation.
3D-IC layer transfer techniques involving several materials of various coefficients of thermal expansion or lattice constants may introduce strain into the structures, thus potentially affecting carrier mobilities. These kind of effects are also among the modeling capabilities of device simulators, and provide useful feedback on material compatibility.
As we can clearly see, the use of device simulations is enabling innovations in 3D-IC research!

Marcel Joseph Vogel (1917–1991) was a research scientist working at the IBM San Jose Research Center for 27 years. He is sometimes referred to as Dr. Vogel, although this title was based on an honorary degree, not a Ph.D..
He received 32 patents for his inventions up through his tenure at IBM.[1] Among these was the magnetic coating for the 24″ hard disk drive systems still in use. His areas of expertise, besides luminescence, were phosphor technology, magnetics and liquid crystal systems.
At Vogel's February 14, 1991 funeral, IBM researcher and Sacramento, California physician Bernard McGinity, M.D. said of him, "He made his mark because of the brilliance of his mind, his prolific ideas, and his seemingly limitless creativity."[
Later in his career, he became interested in various theories of quartz crystals and other esoteric fields of study. The Vogel Crystal type cut was created by him.
Vogel Cut
He designed the Vogel Crystal Cut, which focuses "universal life force" by concentrating it and transforming it to a higher level or vibration. Vogel crystals are said to be cut to the extremely precise angle of 51 degrees 51 minutes and 51 seconds, which is also claimed as the precise angle of the sides of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The crystal is further designed along the geometry of the Tree of Life symbol. Its design is said to have come to him in a dream.

Before you embark on a home improvement venture, consider the influence on your home's resale worth. For example, converting your storage right into a living room may make sense to your speedy needs, but many residence patrons are turned off by this type of addition. Even if you happen to do not plan on promoting instantly, circumstances can change, and you'll have to spend further cash getting your home back to the way in which it was.
If your home is an older home there is a good chance you might have outdated PVC windows, which are troublesome to keep up and infrequently yellow with age. Changing the PVC with modern plate glass could make a major difference within the look of the house. Glass home windows may even enable extra pure sunlight into your home, making a extra open, inviting environment. If you renovate a toilet, it pays to make the bathroom handicap-accessible as a part of the renovation venture. You don't need to renovate it suddenly, but it may well prevent time and prepare every little thing for if you become older in the identical place. If you happen to finally determine to sell, these additions will give your private home more worth when it goes on the market.
Make sure that you and your contractor are on the same web page regarding your budget for the mission. Be honest with your contractor concerning the amount of cash you need to spend, don't hide the wiggle room that you just constructed into the finances. Many homeowners fear that they may get taken advantage of, however in case you are not sincere, chances are you'll end up having received inferior materials or workmanship as a result of the contractor was making an attempt to cut the costs to suit your finances.
Many individuals suppose a kitchen remodel may be time consuming and expensive. Nevertheless, there are a lot of issues a home-owner on a limited funds can do to alter the look of their kitchen. By simply replacing counter tops, updating appliances or refinishing cupboards, a home-owner can provide their kitchen a facelift with out breaking the financial institution. Critical drainage issues can floor throughout rainy durations if gutters are clogged. A major explanation for water leaking into the basement is clogged gutters that lead to rainwater running down along the facet of your own home. Clean your gutters to avoid the sort of matter.
Prior to staining or portray any picket items, always use sandpaper in order to smooth out the wooden's floor. When you do this, wipe off the merchandise with a moist rag. Using a wonderful sandpaper on the surface will clean it to a good finish. Using a moist rag to wipe off the merchandise will eliminate dust and ensure the finish remains smooth. Putting in smoke alarms in your house and checking them regularly can significantly lower your householders' insurance premiums. This is especially true for older houses that aren't constructed from hearth-resistant supplies. And whereas saving money is a nice profit, smoke alarms can also save the life of you or your family members.
Set up smoke detectors in each room of the house. Smoke detectors are low cost, they usually can save your family's life within the occasion of a fireplace. All you want for installation typically is a screwdriver. At a bare minimum, make sure you put one in the kitchen and one close to the door of every bedroom. As you start your private home enchancment challenge, it is very important all the time preserve your budget in mind. It's essential to plan the project out ahead of time and get costs on the supplies that you will want to make your imaginative and prescient a actuality. It's also important to contemplate how lengthy the project will take you.
You possibly can set up your metallic roofing right over top of old asphalt tiles. This will save you money and time because you will not have prices concerned in the removal. But when there are greater than two layers they must be removed first. To enhance your private home, strive re-framing your entry. Try replacing issues like door knobs and locks in your foremost door. Try to find a substantial handle-and-lock set that can be simply put in. Good and sturdy pieces of hardware on the entrance door will help categorical that this can be a strong dwelling.
Utilizing a fine sandpaper on the surface will clean it to a good finish. Utilizing a moist rag to wipe off the merchandise will remove dust and make sure the finish remains easy.


Our underwear came into being as a direct result of toilet training!
We were frustrated with the very poor quality of undies in the shops; it's next to impossible to teach your little one to pull up their pants when the elastic ends up between their cheeks...as does the thin fabric.
So ours are made from stretchy, soft and gentle cotton lycra, with soft leg and waist bands.
Try them...you wont be disappointed, and nor will your little one.

Since I wrote my original rant… sorry, essay about why tech startups often fail to engage productively with the media, ("The Press release is dead") and what do to about it, I've had a lot of feedback. Most people seemed to like and appreciate the advice. But of course, eventually, some started to ask me what they could do beyond 'the basics' (which is what my original presentation was designed
Two years ago today I found myself on BBC's Newsnight sitting in front of Jeremy Paxman at 11.10pm. Twenty minutes earlier I'd been in a pub in Shoreditch, relaxing after work on a Friday night.

Media, Uncategorized
I'm QUITE TIRED of dealing with MILLIONS of tech entrepreneurs (these days there are a HELL of a lot of you) and (some) PR people who have ZERO clue how to pitch me/TechCrunch/the media. Their pitches are long-winded and rambling. They ask if they could 'send some more information'. Listen, I have no idea if it's interesting or not until you send it! Many just ask me out to lunch
This is an unashamedly personal post which I thought sat better on my (slightly neglected) personal blog than on TechCrunch. Up until The Olympics in London it's fair to say "The United Kindom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (to use our full name) had become a pretty cynical place. The economy is in the doldrums, people and businesses are really hurting day-to-day – and we'd had myriad scandals amongst
Below is a talk I've given dozens of times on how to deal with the tech media, especially when you are a tech startup – usually the 'blogging' type media these days. It's not definitive, it's just my personal perspective, but I hope it's useful. Underneath is a video of me giving the presentation. It's roughly based on a rant… sorry, essay I wrote.

I met Steve Jobs once
I met Steve Jobs once. It was at the launch of the iPhone in the UK in September 2007 (here are my pictures from that day). It was a busy day. A few weeks before there had been a frenzy after the launch in the US. Days after the UK launch I was covering people sleeping outside the store on Regent Street. The iPhone had changed everything. But on that

Reuters TV asked me about Berlin
When a TV crew rings you up and asks you to appear in a report you generally say yes, though one doesn't normally know how it'll turn out. In this case I think Reuters got the story right (embedded below). Berlin is indeed becoming a big startup hub in Europe (and 'll be back there again next week, as it happens). Why is this? First of all: it's cheap. It's
Lessons Unlearned: The Lame Startup
Some of the following examples are the kinds of things all bad startups do. But a few of them are particular to European startups. Let's see…
I come across a lot of immaturity in the startup market in Europe. Some of it is accidental. Some wilful ignorance, created because people simple won't inform themselves.
So here, dear reader, is your cut out and keep guide to how not to do a startup in Europe.
Let's start off with money.
Stay really dumb about money. Don't read anything. Subscribe to no blogs about how venture capital works. Next up, confuse venture capital with startups and assume you simply must have an Angel round. Avoid working out a business model which may actually bring in revenue. Cashflow always beats taking investment — but you'll ignore that.
Joining the Digital Advisory Board to the Mayor of London
I am just out of the first ever meeting of the brand new Digital Advisory Board to the Mayor of London (a pro-bono post). I am absolutely delighted to have been invited to join the Board for all the obvious reasons. But, to add a personal note, I was also born (in Hammersmith) and raised in London, and have lived in London for most of my life. I'm a great

Autodesk introduces new logo and branding at TED
Autodesk rebrands…at TED
[Edit. Note: We updated this story on 22 April 2013.]
Autodesk today introduced its new Autodesk branding at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California. Chris Bradshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Autodesk explained the move on In the Fold, the official Autodesk news and opinion blog.
Bradshaw writes that the new logomark is not just a surface change but reflects how the CAD giant has been evolving and how they see themselves in the market.
01 - New Autodesk logomark signals biggest change in branding in 30 year history.
He writes that Autodesk evolved from a desktop CAD company to a cloud and mobile software company with expanded product portfolios in engineering, entertainment and design and the new hobbyist maker market. Autodesk entertainment software has been used in the last 18 Academy Award winners for Best Visual Effects and its new 360 Brand cloud-based services are already subscribed by more than 15 million customers.
This new branding mark represents the biggest visual branding change in the company's 30 year history and returns a logomark in combination with the Autodesk name for the first time in more than a decade.
Since we first wrote this story we hadn't yet seen or perhaps it wasn't yet launched, but Autodesk also has a brand new website design–and it's exceptional. We mentioned that we thought it was quite beautiful on our Architosh Facebook page several days ago. But we thought we would let you know from here as well.
