Q: Should serial triac dimmers work for resistive load? I have a cheap 120V hot plate that I assume regulates its temperature using a triac dimmer (because the heating element vibrates/hums at lower settings).  But at its lowest setting it still gets too hot for my application.
So my first reaction is to put another household dimmer between the device and the power.  But I'm not sure how the second triac in the series will behave if it's seeing chopped AC from the first.
I think the capacitors in the second triac are going to hold their charge between "cuts," and so the cumulative effect of the dimmers will be multiplicative as expected: I.e., if both are set to "half" power the device will see "quarter" power.  Is that correct?  Or is it not that simple?

A: Stacked dimmers are probably not going to behave the way you want. Household dimmers expect a sine wave input: they look at the zero crossing and fire a triac at some fraction of the cycle. When the second dimmer receives the chopped up sine wave, it might try and fire at the same time, or it might get confused by the non-sine input. It may even have undervoltage trouble, depending on how the low-voltage DC for the control circuitry is controlled.
Instead of two dimmers, here's a couple different things you could try to accomplish your goal:

*

*Feed the hot plate from a variac. However, this could cause the hot plate to malfunction (again, feeding it a lower voltage might make the control circuitry unhappy), and large variacs with large power ratings are expensive, heavy, etc.

*Control power to the hotplate with an SSR. Because the hot plate has a slow thermal response time, you could basically "PWM" the power to the hot plate with a very low frequency (1Hz or lower).

*Break open the hotplate, and bypass the built-in temperature control (if possible, leave the internal temperature cutoff for safety), and control the hotplate with an SSR. This eliminates all uncertainty with the built-in control, and you have direct PWM control. Again, because it's a hot plate, you don't need high-speed PWM control, 0.2Hz or something will be fine. The nice thing about SSRs is that you can buy a cheap SSR with screw terminals, and you don't have to deal with any mains voltage other than wiring the thing properly.

*The above suggestion might also work with a household dimmer. However, make sure the dimmer is rated for your hotplate wattage, and keep in mind that some household dimmers don't go close enough to zero (you might have the same problem).


Pawn to C4. Rook to H5. Knight to E6. This might seem like an odd set of references, but they are chess moves. Chess is a game that I have little experience in actual playing, but have seem everyone else in. My two best friends are adequate enough to play a good round and show how their better then me at something. I also see plenty of people, children and adults playing out in a park or inside a bookstore. What their saying to the world is, " I'm a respectable intelligent person that knows enough about chess that I can be seen as aggressive".
I might take up chess later on in life when I feel like I need another hobby. It's not that I have no interest, but my current interests take a lot of time already. So you could imagine my surprise when my dad told me that the 1972 World Chess Championship was a big deal. Both names Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky were spoken like they were sports stars or even political figures. In a way, it's true as each represented the USA and the Soviet Union. Pawn Sacrifice plays it's game and tries to expose Bobby Fischer for who he really was.
As a boy growing up in Brooklyn, Bobby Fischer is a total introvert, choosing to ignore his mother's Russian heritage and communist ways, completely immersing himself in a world of chess. He'll play against himself if he has to, but he's always seen trying to make his game better. Eventually his mother takes him to a local chess club that already knows that Fischer will become a great player. He becomes the youngest grandmaster and wins countless U.S. Chess Championships, while the rest of the world has to put up with his arrogant attitude and his never ending hunger for the world championship.
The problem is that the Soviet Union has the best players and one such player, Boris Spassky (played by Liev Schreiber) has been the face of the world champion for many years. Fischer (played by Tobey Maguire) wants nothing more then to prove that he's better then the entire Soviet Union. The problem is that the late sixties were an era that started to show that Fischer was suffering from paranoia and delusions, often believing that the Soviets were spying on him. He even gives crazy demands that might have prevented him from playing in the 1972 match. The Soviets agree and the famous match is on.
Strictly as a movie goer, I though that Pawn Sacrifice was a pretty good historical story about a famous match. The best moment of the movie are the chess matches, which are few, but still manage to remain exciting thanks to the film's cleverness to keep the look tight, but tense. It also does well to explain the game for non players, but I'm sure that should be little issue. What the movie doesn't do well at is to try and tell us who Bobby Fischer was.
Don't get me wrong. Tobey Maguire plays him very well. It's more on the scripts blame. Sure we know that Fischer was a great chess player, had a lot of psychological problems and said some strange things, but it's all stuff that's been told. Something like Lincoln showed more about the personality of the president and Saving Mr. Banks dwelled into the stern personality of P.L. Travers.
The pacing can also come off as a little slow ironically as the filmmakers probably didn't want too many chess games. I think they could have used some more.
I'll give this four chess knight pieces out of five. Pawn Sacrifice is more likable as a historical recreation rather then an engaging narrative, but I'm glad I saw it. It reminded me that plenty of people play chess and that Tobey Maguire is an underrated actor. Consider playing this movie if you want to know more about a famous chess match.

Halil (Flute, Piano and Percussion)
Composer: Bernstein, Leonard
Halil, A Nocturne for Solo Flute, String Orchestra, and Percussion (Flute, Piano and Percussion) By Leonard Bernstein, Published By Boosey and Hawkes.
Includes flute part and piano score.
Most people don't know that Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990) wrote a flute concerto: "Halil" - a Nocturne for Solo Flute, String Orchestra, and Percussion. "Halil", which means flute in Hebrew, is a piece commemorating a young Israeli flutist named Yadin Tanenbaum who was killed during the 1973 Yom Kippur war. Written in 1981, Halil, in the composers own words, is "formally unlike any other work I have written, but is like much of my music in its struggle between tonal and non-tonal forces. In this case, I sense that struggle as involving wars and the threat of wars, the overwhelming desire to live, and the consolations of art, love and the hope for peace. It is a kind of night-music, which, from its opening 12-tone row to its ambiguously diatonic final cadence, is an ongoing conflict of nocturnal images: wish-dreams, nightmares, repose, sleeplessness, night-terrors and sleep itself, Death's twin brother." Halil is a dark and powerful work that makes a statement against hate and violence while at the same time ponders some of the universe's most unanswerable questions.
This Piece made it onto our list of The 19 Best Flute Concertos Not by Mozart.

This parameter is empty when the OnAfterTestRun trigger is called for the whole test codeunit.
Type: Booleantrue indicates that the test function run succeeded; otherwise, false indicates that the test function run failed.
A test runner codeunit manages the execution of test codeunits that are run from its OnRun function. When a test codeunit runs, it executes each test function one at a time in the codeunit. When implemented, the OnAfterTestRun trigger is called after each test function has run and after all of the test codeunit has run.
The OnAfterTestRun trigger suppresses the automatic display of the results message after the test codeunit runs.
To return the error message for a failed test function run, use the GETLASTERRORTEXT Function.
You can use the OnAfterTestRun trigger to perform post-processing, such as logging, or to automate tests by integrating the test runner codeunit with a test management framework.
The OnAfterTestRun trigger is run in its own database transaction.
The following OnAfterTestRun trigger code logs test results to a test reporting system. This example requires that you create a record variable named log.
The GETLASTERRORTEXT function returns the text that was contained in the last error message.

It's a grudge match, folks, between the good cheap ukulele for beginners vs. the good-but-not cheap ukulele for beginners!
Do you agree with me, your stalwart American uke pal, or the filthy Canadian Ralph Shaw?
Ralph (who is not filthy, but is Canadian), sends out a gem of a newsletter, and in his current issue, he offers some tips to encourage you to practice on your ukulele.
Six of his tips are great and I would offer similar advice. But number six on his list, is so wrong, it makes me want to figure out a Canadian pun insult based on "Halifax" or "Nova Scotia" (which both sound rather like a combination of filthy curse words already…).
Let me tell you why I think a cheap ukulele for beginners is the way to go.
Last night in one of my (real world) uke classes, one student let me play her beautiful antique "freshly strung" Martin soprano uke.
I plucked it with happiness. I plunked it with joy.
And then we moved on to the next song, which was one of those, what the kids call, rock-n-roll numbers.
And I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to chance harming this great old instrument with some bang-bang rock-n-roll strumming. The instrument was TOO nice.
And that's why Ralph and I will have to resort to fisticuffs if he ever dares step over the Canadian border.
Because I think you will practice more (the point of his article) if you've got a little knock-about uke that you take with you everywhere, and you don't care if it's out in the sun or the sand or the rain.
You can play to children and dogs. Leave it out where it might get soiled or damp.
And whenever you want it, it's there, a trusted pal, like Robin to Batman, responding to your call, and jumping up to provide you with the great gift of music.
Take it a step further. Have more than one. For one "good instrument," you could buy three or four or five less cheap ukuleles for beginners. One for every room! One in the car! One down to Auntie Nan's for the holidays!
In the interest of international ukulele relations, I will meet Ralph halfway (say, Decatur, Illinois?). I do agree that a nice uke that stays in tune, is easy to play, and has that certain something of sound, is a joy to play.
But to practice more? Get a cheapie.
Ok, so with all my talk about cheap ukuleles, where do you get one, and HOW do you get one that's not pure rubbish?
Easy, peasy, my dog has fleasy!
Just request my free report: Best of the Worst: Danno Picks 3 Good Cheap Ukuleles.

Ominous clouds and skies tinted lime or translucent blue provide a backdrop to the mystery and intrigue of John Tarahteeff's new work. Voluptuous females reference old masters, such as 17th century painter Titian. They are pictured playing occasional instruments, wading into shallow water. Tarahteeff continues to incorporate heavy texture in places to describe rocky ground, a raised line to express an unwinding ball of yarn or trees and leaves dramatically advancing out from the picture plane. The inclusion of these psychological, pictorial elements works to his advantage both intellectually and aesthetically. This exhibition demonstrates his continuing evolution as a painter John Tarahteeff's paintings show great range, technical skill and seamless blending of intelligence and aesthetics. These new paintings have a story to tell, exposing in a spontaneous moment the whole of the tale. The work speaks in the deeply personal language of the artist.
In 1994 Tarahteeff graduated from the University of California, Davis with a B.S. in Landscape Architecture and a minor in Fine Art. The artist's paintings were first introduced by Solomon Dubnick Gallery in 1998.
"As I work, there are intermittent moments of resolution in the midst of a struggle between the need to unify and contrast imagery. On the one hand, I want the painting to have a singular read which is capable of conveying the illusion of three dimensional space. On the other hand, I want it to have an underlying tension, an improbability that keeps the illusion fresh over the long course of its making."

There is no yesterday for God. There is no tomorrow. There is here and now.
God created time. It doesn't limit him.
There's a reason the Bible says 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever' (Hebrews 13:8). It's because he can't change from one minute to the next. He simply exists.
He is right now at the creation of the world. Right now at the end of this age. Right now at your birth. Right now he is pouring his wrath out on Jesus at the cross.
Now this is the point when the whole 'how can I really have free will if God already knows what I'm going to do' debate comes up.
Here's where I stand on it: God is able to know what you'll decide without interfering with your free will. He's God. He can do things we can't even fathom.
God is not surprised when we get sick. Or when we sin. Or when our car breaks down.
He's the God who is here and now. As we make our way through life, we do well to remember that we are anchored to the one who is above and beyond everything we are dealing with.
There's no tomorrow for him. There's now.

Icy warning for space missions to Jupiter's moon
Scientists suggest fields of 15 metre-high shards of ice could exist on Europa's surface, posing a threat to future landing missions
A location often earmarked as a potential habitat for extra-terrestrial life could prove to be a tricky place for spacecraft to land, new research has revealed.
A team led by scientists from Cardiff University has predicted that fields of sharp ice growing to almost 15 metres tall could be scattered across the equatorial regions of Jupiter's moon, Europa.
Previous space missions have already identified Europa as one of the likeliest destinations for harbouring life in our solar system, most notably because of the large seas of liquid water underneath its surface.
In a new study published today in Nature Geoscience scientists state that any potential landing mission may have to navigate hazardous obstacles known as 'penitentes' before touching down on Europa's surface.
Penitentes are tall sharp-edged blades and spikes made of snow and ice that point towards the midday sun. They form through a process known as sublimation, which requires bright, sustained sunlight as well as cold, dry and still air.
Sublimation is a process through which ice turns directly into water vapour without melting into a liquid first. When sublimation occurs, these distinctive blade-like formations are left behind.
Penitentes are present on Earth and grow to between 1 to 5 metres tall, but they are restricted to high-altitude tropical and subtropical conditions, such as in the Andes.
Europa however has the perfect conditions necessary for penitentes to form more uniformly - its surface is dominated by ice; it has the thermal conditions needed for ice to sublime without melting; and there is very little variation in the angle in which the sun shines on the surface.
In their study, the researchers used observational data to calculate the sublimation rates at various points on Europa's surface and thus used these to estimate the size and distribution of penitentes.
They concluded that the penitentes could potentially grow to around 15 metres tall with a spacing of around 7.5 metres between each one. It was also inferred that the penitentes would be more common around Europa's equator.
No spacecraft has yet landed on Europa; however, NASA intends to undertake a number of flybys around the moon with the Europa Clipper, which will be launched in 2022. It is believed a landing mission could follow soon after.
Lead author of the research Dr Daniel Hobley, from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, said: "The unique conditions of Europa present both exciting exploratory possibilities and potentially treacherous danger.
"The presence of sharp, blade-like structures towering to almost 15 metres high would make any potential landing mission to Europa extremely precarious. We hope that studies like ours will help the engineers to develop innovative ways of delivering landers safely on Europa's surface so that we can find out even more about this fascinating place, and potentially look for signs of extra-terrestrial life."
Jeff Moore, a co-author on the study and a Planetary Geologist at NASA's Ames research Center in Mountain View, CA, notes that NASA's upcoming Europa Clipper mission, set for launch early in the next decade, could directly observe penetentes with its high-resolution camera, and measure other properties of these interesting objects with the spacecraft's other instruments. Dr Moore is a co-investigator on Europa Clipper.
The study also included researchers from NASA Ames Research Center and the University of Virginia.

That Old Feeling: And the Feelie Goes to…
Richard Corliss hands out the fourth annual awards for the best in geezer culture

2. Best Infotainment: Media Funhouse
"Yyyyyyyyyes, ladies and gents, you're back in the Media Funhouse. Hi, I'm Ed your host. This is the Media Funhouse and we are the cable access show that's proud to bring you everything from high art —to low trash and back again." Ed Grant says this week in and week out, always with a practiced laugh on the "Hi," and always delivers. Ed (who has also contributed pop culture pieces to TIME.com) is a champion spieler and smiling savant with more knowledge of the last 50 years of pop culture than one brain could conceivably contain. For 12 years now, he has offered New York viewers a half-hour potpourri unrivaled for its breadth and curiosity. Where else will you find a clip of Salvador Dali pushing his face through a hole in the "Mona Lisa" on I've Got a Secret, or clips from a Jack E. Leonard 007 spoof called The Fat Spy, or Brando forcing Larry King into a duet on "I Can't Get Started"?
"Speaking at a rate fast enough to sell Micro-Machines," as a 1996 article in Visual Opinion described his verbal shtick, Ed will play a silent clip from a foreign film (often French) as he Uzies data in an inset at the lower left of the screen. He also interviews actors (Peter Ustinov, Audrey Tautou, the unadorned and charmingly frank Carol Lynley) and such directors as Russ Meyer and Francois Ozon. Last month Ed did a tribute to 2004's "deceased artistes" (his phrase, which I occasionally borrow) that had the show's usual grand range: from Dayton Allen (the Steve Allen Show Man in the Street whose catchphrase was "Why not?") to novelist Hubert Selby Jr. (with a reading from The Demon), and from Frank Nastasi (aide de camp to Soupy Sales) to super-spieler Spalding Gray (his porn movie appearance). I eagerly anticipate his tribute to one of TV's master showmen of ennui, Dr. Gene Scott, who died this week.
Media Funhouse runs in the 2 A.M. Friday slot on low-resolution Manhattan Neighborhood Networks, where the night-shift guy doesn't always pay attention. This week's tape was abruptly aborted half-way through, and we were treated to a few minutes of a silent, still-frame corrupted tape. Ed deserves better. I'd give him the nightly half-hour after The Daily Show. Comedy Central doesn't know what to do with it since canceling …

NASA Totally Found an Alien Crab on Mars and Didn't Tell Anybody
Robbie Gonzalez
And then—get this—THEN they accidentally posted a picture of it online. And then some people spotted it and called a spade a spade crab a crab. Hey everybody! Look! It's a crab on Mars!
The proof, via UFO Sightings Daily:
This crab-like object was found in a Mars rover. Its unknown exactly who found it, but it is really interesting. It does appear alive. It may be a crab-like animal, or it also may be a plant. Tis object has many arms and one of them goes to the left of the picture a very long ways. That arm is longer than all others. Plant or animal it really doesn't matter. The significance of this is that it shows signs that it is alive. That is everything, but not to NASA. Even if every person on Earth told them to turn the rover to the left and take a closer look at this object, NASA will reject it and say, "thats not part of our mission."
UFO Sightings Daily reports it also spotted in this photo "another animal close to this crab, as well as a broken stone building."
Or maybe, just maybe, it's a rock. And a case of pareidolia. Nah, scratch that. Definitely a space crab.

Tizona Sword of El Cid
Item # ZS-XL0520
Tizona is a sword born of history, once wielded by the warrior Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, better known by his nickname, El Cid. Unlike most folk heroes, though, El Cid actually existed, and his deeds are now immortalized and embellished in various stories. The Tizona Sword of El Cid is modeled after the actual Tizona, a sword of historical note that is currently on display at the Museo de Burgos, in Burgos, Spain. It recreates the general shape of the blade quite nicely, while also adding in its own infusions, to re-invent the sword and enhance its appeal for any collector who might acquire it. This sword features a stainless steel blade with a long ricasso and heavy etching along the upper section of the blade, while the flared and ornate guard angles downward, with a trio of bold quillons angling towards the blade. The grip is wrapped in wire for a more comfortable hold, while the unique pommel finishes off the blades overall style quite nicely. Included with the sword is a black leather sheath. Loosely translated, Tizona means firebrand or fire stick, and it was said scare off foes if its wielder is strong. Of Course, this Tizona Sword of El Cid lacks such mystic powers, but it makes up for it by possessing an incredibly appealing appearance, which makes it a fine addition to any sword enthusiasts collection of historic pieces.
A Unique and Elegant Looking Historical Blade
Features an Etched Stainless Steel Blade
Blade Has a Long Ricasso and a Gradual Profile Taper
Cast-Metal Silver Guard is Highly Ornate and Elegantly Curled
Hilt is Wire-Wrapped, with a Carved, Hollow Lobed Pommel

Recent focus on Indigenous issues and reconciliation initiatives in Canada has critically heightened the demand for skilled leadership and qualified individuals with financial and business expertise to work within First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and organizations. This has created a multitude of opportunities for Indigenous students who may be passionate to contribute to strengthening financial management, leadership and sustainability within their communities and related organizations. However, in the face of this high demand for expertise, the number of Indigenous people choosing to pursue accounting and financial management careers has not kept pace. There is now a serious shortage of Indigenous students choosing to pursue these opportunities.
The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada), the body that oversees and regulates the accounting profession in Canada.
This academic partnership facilitates efficient access to, participation in, and success for Métis, Inuit and First Nations students in Canadian accounting education and careers. Further, the partnership ensures the inclusion of important Indigenous culture and history courses within the Canadian accounting curriculum.
