(November 12, 2009 – Denver, CO) In a bold move to position RE/MAX of Southern Africa as the clear real estate leader as the economic recovery takes hold, the region has been sold back to its original owners. RE/MAX International has formulated an innovative strategy of placing experienced local leadership in control during a critical economic period.
Peter and Val Gilmour, South African real estate veterans, first purchased the Master Franchise for Southern Africa in 1994. As one of the first international regions in the RE/MAX system, the Gilmours introduced the North American real estate brand to a territory where it was completely unknown, and they built it into a respected leader with top market share.
"What Peter and Val accomplished is truly a remarkable achievement," says Dave Liniger, Chairman and Co-Founder of RE/MAX International, Inc. "Their leadership and expertise will be invaluable again at this critical time, when the local housing industry and global economy recover from a difficult recession."
The Master Franchise for RE/MAX of Southern Africa consists of nine countries; Angola, Botswana, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each country has a distinct culture and real estate market.
"We're very excited about guiding the future direction of RE/MAX of Southern Africa," says Peter Gilmour, Chairman of the region's new management company. "We believe there are still a number of exciting franchise opportunities in South Africa and its neighboring countries."
After selling the region to RE/MAX International in 2000, Peter and Val Gilmour joined the management team at RE/MAX headquarters in Denver, where Peter has held the position of Senior Vice President of International Sales. Now, they plan to return to South Africa by the end of the year to assume new responsibilities. Peter and Val are forming a management company for the region, and will serve as the Chairman and Director respectively. The region's current Assistant Regional Director, Adrian Goslett, will become the Regional Director.
RE/MAX of Southern Africa has a distinguished record of accomplishments. It was the 2001 Region of the Year, and Peter Gilmour was the 1997 Regional Director of the Year. RE/MAX was named one of the Top 5 Franchises in South Africa in both 2002 and 2003, and is now the country's largest real estate franchisor.
Despite the challenging economy, RE/MAX of Southern Africa has enjoyed increased sales recently, with sales in October the highest of the year. Additionally, 15 new franchises have been sold in the region during 2009.
Property in Malta in recent years has become an attractive prospect for South African nations. Just over 500 South Africans have applied for residency in recent years. Part of the regulation to becoming a Permanent residence of Malta is buying a property in Malta. If you are interested in purchasing a property in Malta contact one of our offices.

I hear lots of complaints lately about the lack of new content. While I do agree with the obvious, I'm of the opinion that the devs should focus on developing the expansion. Those that feel too attached with the game will always find some way to spend their time. Personally, I'm having fun in PvP.
Honestly, I'll never understand the demand that goes against time constraints. Any kind of development requires a serious amount of dedication if the interested parties are to enjoy a bug-free and on par with the expectations experience. But, you know, bringing something like that up could easily be countered by the fact that we are almost three years past the initial launch of Guild Wars 2. The real question though is, does stating that over and over again help in any way? Definitely not. Mistakes were made, wrong decisions took place consuming lots of precious development time, but in one or the other way here we are, finally waiting for what appears to be a highly organized release of an expansion.
We've all been witnesses in the past of so-called finished content getting out of the door prematurely. The Ascended crafting system, the trait revamp and all that zerg-oriented PvE experience being a few examples of that. Content that's bound to or has already been announced to expect some major overhaul. A process that takes lots and lots of time away from taking a step forward and even work on modes like PvP and WvW that have seen next to no improvement since launch. Who's to blame? I don't really care. Could the community be more involved in the development process? Yes, perhaps. What matters at the moment though is that if taking away resources to work on new live content leads to a mediocre expansion release then personally I'm all against supporting that idea.
I get that most of you would be reasonable and wouldn't ask for much. Like a simple re-release of a previous festivity perhaps. Super Adventure Box anyone? Yeah, no one would ever deny how awesome that would be, but if they can't have a small team dedicated to this certain purpose, then let's be clear with ourselves, it's really not worth it. I mean it's not like a simple switch they need to turn on for previous content to go live. Ever since the initial release of said content the live client has gone through many iterations and some weird behavior is bound to happen. And let's not even bring up those that will rage because ArenaNet brought back a festivity without adding more content to it. All in all, it's a situation that carries more risk than what it appears.
As for me, I've decided to spend my time till Heart of Thorns mostly in PvP. I'm having so much fun there. Recently, I played a match where my team was losing with a score like 300 to 497 and in the end we managed to win! Just picture that. My heart was racing like crazy as the opponents were chasing me looking for that single kill that will give them the victory. My hands were shaking as I managed to perform a stealth combo with next to zero life much to their surprise. Both teams had a great time and when the game was over we all congratulated each other. And that's what really matters. It all comes down to having fun.
I'm not saying that I'm good at PvP, nor that the mode itself is perfect at its current state. What it has to offer though suits my current schedule. I can't spend that much time playing games these days and the quick format of GW2's PvP is exactly what I needed. All that fast-tempered action and those thrilling moments that have you cheering in the end.
I could give you some advice on how to enjoy the most out of PvP and perhaps propose a few features that would make it better as a whole but I guess that will have to wait for another post. We have kinda derailed the main topic of this one already anyway.
Going back to that then and summing up today's talk, I'd like you to keep a single thing in mind out of all this. You play games because you are looking to have fun. Do not spend a single second of your life doing something that you do not like. Especially when we are talking about one of your hobbies. The release of Heart of Thorns is imminent and by letting the devs do their work without any additional pressure (trust me, they have a lot to deal with already) you will enjoy the end result more.

March 12, 2013 Coral Springs Diner: A Blast from the Past 10410 W Sample Rd Coral Springs, FL 954-772-4731
The Coral Springs Diner is a modest dinner located on the main road of a town no one has ever heard of before. The outside of this restaurant says it all a simple building painted a boring beige color like every other building in that lot it does nothing to stand apart from all the other local restaurants, cafes and bistros all over this small town. However unlike all the other bland eateries around the Coral Springs which serve bland food that leave no impact the Coral Springs Diner not only serves some of the best local food this city has to offer but also serves a slice of Americana that you can't get from your chain fast food restaurant no this feeling is only achieved by stepping into a place that is as old as the city and houses as much of its memories as any museum. When you enter this diner the first thing you will spot is the décor that makes you feel as if you were sent back into the late 1970s and not in some sort of cheesy imitation retro feel no this is the real thing. Warm waves of nostalgia will hit you as you take the first bite of that hamburger while listing to records on the jukebox and the relaxing diner atmosphere will make you forget about your troubles and make you focus on your delicious meal and the people surrounding you.
Breakfast is a real treat as there is nothing better than waking up in the morning and enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee with some scrambled eggs, hash browns and two bagels filled with ham and cheese all absolutely delicious. I was surprised when the bill came that this full meal was only 10 dollars which was practically a steal with my wallet still just as full as my stomach I left the diner with a smile thinking that there is nowhere else I rather go for breakfast than this diner.
The lunch and dinner menu is no different with a wide range of choices from the classic hamburger to fried scallops it seems this

South African musician Daniel Baron is in dispute with David Guetta, alleging that the international megastar plagiarized his original track from 2016.
When listening to Children of the Sun and Guetta's Light Headed, the similarities in the melody line and chord structure is blatantly obvious.
Take a listen to the track side by side here:
"When I heard the song for the very first time it was the craziest feeling ever. It was a mixture of shock, disbelief, and honor."- Daniel Baron
Baron sought assistance of top legal advisors in the music industry and even alerted Guetta quietly in December 2018 with a formal legal letter stating that he wants to be credited and compensated accordingly.
There has been no response from Guetta or his team as yet.
More details from Daniel Baron on the situation live on 5FM this morning!

The Hamptons Police Department was overwhelmed with calls in the early morning hours last Sunday as residents of Lazy Point phoned in with tales of loud explosions in the area. Police were initially flummoxed by the reports, and immediately sent officers to investigate.
"We hadn't received any reports of fire or gas leaks that might cause explosions," Hamptons Police spokesman Larry Hirsch says, who noted that calls began pouring in at around 4:45 a.m. "It was still dark out. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon—it's usually the quietest time of day for us. We certainly didn't expect what we found."
According to Hirsch, what officers found a full-fledged 4th of July fireworks display in progress when they arrived at Lazy Point. "This wasn't just a couple of kids with bottle rockets," Hirsch says. "This was the whole enchilada: We're talking chrysanthemums, spiders, palms—you name it, it was happening at Lazy Point."
Mystified by the elaborate spectacle, officers managed to locate a few firemen who were overseeing the proceedings. "Our officers approached the members of the Lazy Point Fire Department who were engaged in setting off these fireworks," Hirsch says. "When they were asked why they were doing so at 4:50 in the morning, they appeared confused by the question."
Further inquiries revealed that the Lazy Point Fire Department (LPFD), instead of doing their fireworks show after sundown as is typical, had decided this year to stage their annual display before sunup instead. This had been decided at their regular planning session in March, Hirsch says.
"Seems they got to talking about 'The Star Spangled Banner' and that line about the dawn's early light," he continues. "They also took into account that there were all of these other fireworks displays happening out here on every night of the week, which means a lot of competition for spectators. So, long story short, the LPFD figured it would be more historically accurate and would set them apart to have their rockets' red glare lighting up the sky right before the sunrise, rather than after sunset. And you have to admit it's kind of an interesting point, given the lyrics of our National Anthem. The trouble is, the LPFD forgot to tell anybody!"
As a consequence, almost nobody witnessed the expensive fireworks display, and hundreds of people had their sleep disturbed and were frightened by thunderous fireworks reports.
The LPFD apologized to the public for the disturbance. A spokesman for the department says they plan to get the word out better next year.

|2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid Overview
Responding to high demand for high efficiency hybrid vehicles, Nissan unveiled the first-ever Pathfinder Hybrid for 2014 at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
Without sacrificing roominess and performance, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid offers better fuel economy and driving range. It has combined fuel economy rating of 26 mpg, which is 24 percent better than the non-hybrid version. The City/Highway fuel economy is estimated at 25/27 mpg. The driving range is estimated at more than 526 miles, thanks to the large 19.5 gallon gas tank.
Available in 2WD and AWD, the 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 2.5-L engine and an electric motor powered by a compact Li-ion battery. The electric motor and the gas engine work together in cycle to provide a performance equal to the standard Pathfinder. The system produces 250 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque compared to 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque from the standard Pathfinder. When equipped properly, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid has a towing rating of 3,500 lbs.
Available in three trims – SV, SL and Platinum, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder will go on sale in late summer.

Bert Jansch – The Bert Jansch Sampler
Like many, I'm genuinely saddened to hear of Bert Jansch's death yesterday, aged 67. I've seen him play once with John Renbourne – a local gig, supported to encourage artists to play in the wider, small-venue community – and have listened to and followed his career with enjoyment, though I couldn't claim to have been a massive and consistent fan. No reason for not being; just the amount of music out there. But his influence as guitarist and songwriter on the folk and wider music scene is enormous.
Being honest, I doubt I would have initially picked this album as a top fifty, but I have no problem doing so now having been prompted by this news. A top fifty was always going to be a movable feast anyway; never ever a finite thing. There is no question, however, that this album was hugely influential in my fledgling listening experience. As I have recounted before, the sampler albums of the late 60s/early 70s had a massive impact because of the quality of music presented but also, and obviously, their cost. As a teenager I didn't have much cash for records. Bert's sampler album came out in 1969.
Favourite tracks are Rabbit Run, Go Your Way My Love, Needle of Death [and what a powerful impression this made on a young mind yet to experience the drug culture], Blackwater Side, and David Graham's brilliant Angie made popular by Jansch [and which I heard last night played on Planet Rock and thought it odd for that station, not having heard then of his death]. Every single song resonates because being one of the few albums I had at the time it was one I always played. So each – in addition to the inherent excellence – conjures images and remembered feelings of growing up at that time, and this fuels the emotion I feel today in hearing he has gone.
Unlike some of my friends at the time who were more skilled and diligent as budding guitarists, I never learned to play Angie as well as I should. I can still turn out a near approximation, but it's pretty basic stuff. Bert Jansch will have encouraged so many young guitarists at the time to emulate his style and hone their skills. What a legacy that is in addition to the recorded music and live performances.
In reading other tributes today I came across this quote from Neil Young and it sums up with huge affection the high regard fellow artists had for Jansch: With deep regret Pegi and I acknowledge the passing of Bert Jansch. Pegi and I were lucky to play with him on all of our shows for the last couple of years. He is a hero of mine, one of my greatest influences. Bert was one of the all-time great acoustic guitarists and singer songwriters. Our sincerest sympathies to his soul mate Loren. We love you Bert.
Additional: Loren sadly died two months after Bert. A friend and I were working in London in December 2011 and we visited Highgate Cemetery – my first time – and just beyond the entrance to the East Cemetery we came upon Bert Janch's burial place and, to our surprise, the freshly dug grave of Loren's beside him. This is the tribute there today,

New mayor of Great Yarmouth borough announced
PUBLISHED: 15:17 10 May 2019 | UPDATED: 15:31 10 May 2019
Michael Jeal has been appointed mayor of the Great Yarmouth borough for the second time.
Mr Jeal will take over the role from Mary Coleman for the 2019/20 municipal year on Wednesday, May 15, at the annual council meeting.
He was first elected to serve as a councillor for the Nelson ward in 1986 and kept his seat in Friday's elections.
His deputy will be Sue Hacon.
As the first citizen of the borough, he will chair full council meetings, help to raise money for his chosen charities, and represent the borough and its people at functions both inside and outside of the area.
Mr Jeal who lives in South Beach Parade, Great Yarmouth, had his first stint as mayor in 2010/11.
He has also held a number of other key council posts including the mayor's consort to Susan Robinson in 2006/07 and cabinet member for economic development from 2012 to 2015.
Mr Jeal said: "When you think I grew up largely in a place called Percy Main, one of the most deprived areas in North Shields, to come to be the mayor of my home borough of Great Yarmouth twice is really special and an absolute honour.
You may also want to watch:
"Serving before as mayor was a real privilege, and I'm again looking forward to raising money and awareness for my chosen charities and representing the communities of the borough.
"There are a lot of people who selflessly do some great work without recognition, so if I can help in any way to get them that recognition then that will be my goal."
Mr Jeal served as a firefighter in Great Yarmouth and Gorleston for 30 years, becoming involved in local politics through helping out the Fire Brigades Union.
Since retiring from the fire service, he has been the project manager at First Move Furnishaid, a local charity which redistributes furniture and white goods to families in the local area at affordable prices.
For his year as mayor, his chosen charities will include Heart 2 Heart Norfolk, a charity which raises money to place live-saving defibrillators in schools, clubs and public places across the area.

Garmin has announced their latest fitness tracker, the Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music, today. The new smartwatch has all the goodness and features of the previously launched Garmin Vivoactive 3 but with added music playback functionality.
The Vivoactive 3 Music features a 1.2-inch full-color circular Chroma display with a resolution of 240×240 pixels. It uses Transflective Memory in pixel for better sunlight visibility while consuming less power. The watch lets users track various activities such as heart rate, calories burnt, floors climbed, distance traveled, intensity minutes, TrueUp and Move IQ.
It also comes with sleep monitoring and fitness level monitoring with VO2 max. It lets you track your stress levels and provide fitness age estimates.
The Vivoactive 3 Music comes preloaded with gym activity profiles such as Strength Training, Cardio Training, Elliptical Training, Stair Stepping, Floor Climbing, Indoor Rowing, and Yoga.
As the name suggests, the Vivoactive 3 Music can store up 500 songs in its memory. The watch has support for music services such as iHeartRadio, Deezer (coming soon) and many more, allowing the user to create a playlist for music playback on the go.
Users need to purchase the Bluetooth headset separately to listen to music on the go, without any need to carry your mobile phones. Also, the Vivoactive 3 music comes with Garmin Pay service which lets users pay for purchases using their watch.
The Vivoactive 3 Music has got you covered with all the required sensors such as the Garmin Elevate wrist heart rate monitor, GPS/GLONASS, Compass, Barometric altimeter, Accelerometer and even a Thermometer. The watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM of pressure.
For connectivity, it comes with Bluetooth and is compatible with any device running on Android or iOS. Users can track or sync their training/activity data from the watch to their smartphones using the Garmin connect App.
Garmin claims that the band will last up to 7 days of use in smartwatch mode, while in the power-hungry GPS mode with Music, the fitness band is said to last you only for a measly 5 hours. The watch is said to last up to 13 hours in the GPS mode without the Music, but then it defeats the purpose of getting music variant in the first place.
Pricing and Availability of Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music comes in Black and white silicone straps with either Slate, Rose Gold or Stainless Steel accents on the watch. The pricing of the band starts at USD 299. The interchangeable straps can be purchased separately at price of USD 29.99 for each strap.

Location tracking and social media.
It's late and your teenage child hasn't come home. Do you find out by tracking the GPS location?
Should you be monitoring your child's activity on social media?
An expert says this is fairly common, and perhaps not a bad idea at least while they're still young, but it's also a balance between need to know, and privacy.
Sam Fiorella, a marketing author, is the director of Sensei Marketing firm, a Professor of Social media marketing at Seneca College, and father.Listen
Professor Fiorella is in favour of sometimes tracking your child, especially pre-teens and young teens, because the mobile device and internet present so many new and unpredictable risks.
There are any number of cases of child luring through the internet, and of bullying, which has led to suicides in more than one case.
But the balance has to be to allow them to learn about responsibility which comes through leaving them a measure of privacy.
He points out, that just like the "sex" talk of parents to teens, perhaps parents should now also consider a serious "mobile phone/internet" talk.

All right, this is an important post for me.
I'm becoming more serious about moving back from business to doing good full time.
There, I said it!
Month: September 2010
All right, this is an important post for me.
It's been some time since I wrote about HR and related topics and people already started asking me if I have changed my field of interested or whatever happened to me…
Well, nothing special, just had to go through a period of fighting against cognitive dissonance and making big decisions. Am still fighting it though, but now that I know the enemy, I also know the way through.


text: In Q3 2019, Modern and Ferus Natural Gas Fuels teamed up to supply LNG for frac fuel with the goal of burning a cleaner fuel to reduce GHG emissions. The Schlumberger frac pumper engines are adapted to be able to use natural gas for fuel and over the campaign of 3 separate pads of 3 wells each, in Modern's Wapiti Cardium play, LNG reduced diesel consumption by 35%. LNG, made up of smaller chain hydrocarbon molecules, burns much cleaner than diesel resulting in significant reductions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulates, SOx and NOx. Although the source of the LNG is a regional gas plant, many operators are now sourcing natural gas for fuel directly from their own facilities as well as looking to opportunities to go fully electric where possible. Modern has also had significant experience using its own natural gas for supplying fuel to drilling rigs or for water heating.

Alexis Sanchez has admitted that he has been disappointed with his start to life at Manchester United.
Sanchez, 29, joined the Red Devils in January, joining from Arsenal in a deal that makes him the Premier League's best-paid player.
But things haven't run smoothly for the former Barcelona star, with Sanchez scoring just once in 10 games following his switch.
His performances have come under close scrutiny and the Chilean was left on the substitutes' bench for the FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton last weekend.
And speaking in Sweden on Wednesday, Sanchez made clear that he too had not been satisfied with his performances thus far, while also admitting his United struggles had seen him question whether he should skip linking up with his national team.
"Seeing as I demand a lot of myself, I expected something better," declared Sanchez.
"After my arrival at United, it was hard to change everything very quickly. I even hesitated to come here [to Sweden, with the national team].
"I had asked permission to miss these games and stay in England, but then I thought better and spoke with Claudio [Bravo] and told him that we should all be united."
"The change of club was something that was very abrupt - it was the first time I've changed clubs in January - but many things have happened in my life that are difficult."
Sanchez was also asked about his relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, someone to whom Sanchez says he has grown relatively close during his time at Old Trafford.
"I trained for a month and a half with Zlatan and his quality is impressive," added Sanchez. "We talk and we have a coffee together every day. It's sad he doesn't play for his country now."
Chile, unlike this week's opponents, Sweden, won't be at this summer's World Cup, with a pair of errors from Manchester City stopper Bravo costing them fifth place in South American qualifying in the final round of matches.
Bravo has subsequently been heavily blamed in his homeland for his side's absence in Russia, and there are questions whether the 34-year-old will retire from international football. Bravo is not in the current squad.
"Nobody is angry with him. As a group we to talk together and say things to each other to our faces. We want to sit down and talk alike. The doors are open for him, we know he is the captain, has has given us many triumphs," continued Sanchez.
"He is the captain, the most important player we have; but he will have his reasons and his motives. He needs time to think, reflect and its his opinion and we have to respect it. We are a family, including Claudio."

Vietnam fisheries surveillance vessels June 15 continued activities to oppose China and request it to withdraw the oil rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 from Vietnam's waters.Meanwhile, Chinese ships speeded up to approach the Vietnamese vessels, even at a distance of 10-30m, squared off around the rig and kept Vietnamese vessels about 8-10 nautical miles away from the area where China's oil rig is illegally deployed, according to the Vietnam Fisheries Surveillance Department.
Vietnam's fishing boats kept their
regular fishing activities about 30-40 nautical miles from the rig,
demanding their fishing grounds.
However, their operations were hindered by Chinese ships, Vietnam News Agency reporter said, adding that at night, two coast guard ships and a cargo liner of China flashed lights and blast out siren to Vietnamese fishing boats, driving away them from their traditional fishing ground. In the daytime, these Chinese ships moved at high speed to disrupt the fishing boats' activities.
On the day at the site, China maintained over 120 ships of all kinds, including 36-40 coast guard vessels, over 30-32 cargo liners and tugboats, six military ships, 45-50 fishing vessels. A military aircraft was spotted to fly over and around the rig at a height of 500-700m.
At the beginning of May 2014, China illegally dispatched the rig Haiyang Shiyou-981 as well as a large fleet of armed vessels, military ships and aircraft to Vietnam's waters and positioned the rig at 15 degrees 29 minutes 58 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 12 minutes 06 seconds east longitude. The location is 80 miles deep into Vietnam 's continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
Despite Vietnam's protest, China has expanded its scale of operation and moved the Haiyang Shiyou-981 drilling rig to 15 degrees 33 minutes 36 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 34 minutes 11 seconds east longitude. The new location is 60 nautical miles deep inside Vietnam 's continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.

Now is the point of the New Year when those resolutions really mark their first test. Sure, you said you wanted to lose weight in 2013. And you've managed to work out a few times a week so far. But will it continue?
One of the biggest keys to continuing a healthy lifestyle is convenience. The more convenient it is, the easier it will be. Many apartment communities have some sort of amenity to aid you in your desire to living a healthy life. Some have a gym or fitness center, while others may have a basketball or tennis court. Don't discount the swimming pool. Swimming is one of the best workouts for your body.
We asked the Move For Free Facebook community to find out the "must-have" apartment amenity for a healthy lifestyle.
45% said a fitness center
27% said an Olympic-style pool
0% said yoga classes (come on, no one?!)
18% said personal trainers
9% said walking trails
Whichever amenity you prefer, put exercise on your calendar. Make it a part of your new routine. Get a workout buddy. Watch TV while you walk on the treadmill. Walk to your mailbox instead of driving.
Anything to keep moving!
Move For Free wishes you the best of luck sticking to those resolutions! It isn't easy, but it is worth it.

I have a problem with modelling a circuit using the ADA4940 as an ADC driver, with a AD8235 instrumentation amplifier preceding it.
Whilst each device models correctly by themselves, done with ADA4505 pre-amp stages being driven by sine & cosine waveforms (simulating accelerometer inputs, in a constant velocity cyclic pattern), these being combined at the inputs of the Inst Amp or ADC driver.
When the Inst Amp is used to drive the ADC driver (for S/E to bidirectional adaptation for ADC), the result is that for the ADA4940, the +ve node output, +ve feedback pin and +ve node input are pulled low, and the the current draw on some nodes in the ADC driver are showing extremely high (kilo-amps....) in the node list from the simulation tool.
Attached are .jpg files of the cricuits (ADC-driver alone & combined with Inst Amp), screenshots of the output waveforms for both scenarios and the nodes "voltage & currents" results lists of both scenario's from the DC Conditions analysis.
I have not been able to figure out why this is happening, not sure if there is something strange with the Analysis tool (TINA Ver 9), or someting with one or both of the models (ADA4940 & AD8235). Both .cir files used were downloaded from the Analog devices website in the past 24 hours.
Any advice or assistance in solving this would be greatly appreciated.
Harry, the circuits shown are only test circuits, to simplify the problem - not the full circuit. RL for the 4505's is approx 200k in the main design.
The LTC1078 is used as a simple simulation of the front-end of the ADC, LTC1408, the give a load for the ADA4940.

'Book of Negroes' tells little-known tale of black Loyalists in Nova Scotia
Melanie Patten / The Canadian Press
April 29, 2014 11:05 AM
HALIFAX – Filmmaker Clement Virgo wasn't sure what to make of "The Book of Negroes" when he first came across Lawrence Hill's 2007 bestseller.
Virgo, the African-Canadian director of "Poor Boy's Game," was thrown by the novel's title, which is derived from a historical document containing the names of black Loyalists.
"I was a little bit reluctant to read the novel at first because of the title, because I didn't know what 'Book of Negroes' meant," he says.
"When I finally did read it, I fell in love with it. It took me about three days to finish it and once I did, I called Lawrence."
It wasn't long before Virgo was meeting with the award-winning Canadian author to pitch filming his epic story of Aminata Diallo, an African woman kidnapped by slave traders in West Africa.
"Here is a woman who was taken from her home and sort of pulled through a maelstrom, not unlike, say, Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz,' and all she wants to do is find her way back home," says Virgo, taking a brief break during filming "The Book of Negroes" near Halifax.
Virgo and Hill co-wrote the script for the six-part miniseries starring Aunjanue Ellis ("The Help") as Diallo, and Academy Award winners Louis Gossett Jr., and Cuba Gooding Jr. The Canada-South Africa co-production will air next year on CBC in Canada and BET in the United States.

The cast also includes Allan Hawco, Lyriq Bent and Ben Chaplin. Principal photography began earlier this year in South Africa before moving to several locations in Nova Scotia.
For Hill, it's a chance to tell his tale in a new medium — an opportunity he says is "quite exciting."
"It has come to life, it's really quite stunning," says Hill, who's made several visits to set. "It always takes my breath away a little bit and surprises me to hear an actor express the words that I've had kicking around in my head for years."
Hill's novel follows Diallo as she is enslaved in South Carolina and navigates her way through the American Revolution in New York, the isolated refuge of Nova Scotia and the jungles of Sierra Leone in a bid to secure her freedom.
On this day, a waterfront park in the Halifax suburb of Cole Harbour is filling in for Birchtown, N.S., one of the largest settlements of black Loyalists. It's almost May, but every breath hangs like smoke in the cold, damp air as Gossett Jr. films a scene with a group of children who huddle under blankets between takes.
It's supposed to be winter in this scene, remarks one crew member. The only thing better would be real snow.
But bringing the production to Nova Scotia is about more than just an ideal backdrop of grey skies. Entertainment One, the studio behind the miniseries, says it's the history of what took place here that's important.
"It's going to open up a new piece of Nova Scotia in North America and internationally to the people who watch," says Margaret O'Brien, president and chief operating officer.
Hill says the miniseries will include some departures from the novel, but its heart — and its lessons — remain intact.
"I hope that it will excite a whole new generation of Canadians and other people in other countries about the story of the black Loyalists," he says.
"I think black history in Canada — slavery, freedom, segregation, the fight for human dignity — is still a story that's largely unknown in this country."

Sunday Football: Rangers in title frame
PUBLISHED: 12:59 02 March 2006 | UPDATED: 11:33 04 May 2010
SUNDAY FOOTBALL DIVISION 1A Ely Park Rangers beat second-placed Fen Ditton to emerge as genuine title-contenders in Division 1A. Rangers fell behind early on, but man-of-the-match Liam Hart was causing havoc on the right wing and created chances a-plenty
Ely Park Rangers beat second-placed Fen Ditton to emerge as genuine title-contenders in Division 1A.
Rangers fell behind early on, but man-of-the-match Liam Hart was causing havoc on the right wing and created chances a-plenty for his colleagues.
Rob Parker, Peter Munns and Gary Dewsbury were amongst the goalscorers as Rangers eventually ran out 4-2 winners.
Ely Park Rangers Reserves must put the championship celebrations on ice after suffering a shock 5-3 defeat at Cambridge Magpies on Sunday.
Ely correspondent Dale Spring described his side's performance as "abysmal", and they had it all to do after trailing 3-0 at the break.
In the first five minutes of the second half Martin Blakeley and Steve Pollard reduced the deficit to a single goal, and Blakeley did so again after Cambridge had scored a fourth goal.
Magpies made it 5-3 soon afterwards however, and although Martin Gray missed a late penalty for Rangers it seems unlikely that they would have salvaged a point.
West End House lost 2-0 at home to Girton Eagles Reserves, but both Wicken Maids Head and AFC Witchford were successful on home soil.
Wicken won by the odd goal in seven at home to Prince of Wales Newmarket, and Witchford had little opposition as they romped to an 11-1 victory in the home clash with Cambridge Cosmos Reserves.
Michael Ward led the way with four goals, and he was joined on the scoresheet by Matt Monteith (3), Mark Heading, Duncan Turner, Ben Barnwell and substitute James Monteith.
The victory was put in perspective by the fact that the visitors started with ten men, were subsequently reduced to nine and eventually finished a man short.
Triple-S bowed out of the competition after losing 4-2 against Fulbourn-based Tally Ho.
They fell behind after just two minutes, and Dan Langley missed the chance to retrieve that deficit when his effort was saved from the penalty spot.
Triple-S continued to force the pace, but missed several chances prior to the visitors scoring again.
Ben Howe reduced the arrears when his side were awarded a second penalty before half-time, but Tally Ho increased their lead again 10 minutes after the interval.
They subsequently made it 4-1 midway through the second half, and Langley's 90th minute from a corner was scant consolation for the home side.

A new platform for creative furniture ideas – www.blum-inspirations.com
At Interzum 2019, Blum launched a new online platform called Blum Inspirations, which will regularly present new ideas and concepts for innovative furniture solutions. The Austrian fittings manufacturer shows its customers how creative new furniture designs can be implemented with high-quality fittings.
The focus is on storage space solutions for kitchens and other living areas. The furniture ideas will be continuously updated and Blum hopes to inspire a new generation of cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers and end users.
Alongside the new website, Blum's new brand promise of moving ideas puts customers' needs at the centre of its thinking. How are needs incorporated in product development? How will Blum deliver solutions that move the market? And how will the company enable customers' ideas?
Knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied, says Blum, and in line with this policy, the Austrian business is keen to provide ideas and share its experiences and insights with customers from the furniture industry. To this end, the company offers a wide range of suitable fittings solutions – for conventional and extraordinary furniture concepts.
In addition, the company supports manufacturers with services along the entire production process and value-added chain, ie from selling, planning, designing, ordering, manufacturing and assembly to adjustment and setting.
Ideas for living spaces of today and tomorrow
Blum carries out furniture surveys, identifies trends and shares insights with furniture manufacturers. For Blum, top quality products and services are based on ongoing dialogue with customers and partners.
Shaping a new quality of living
One of the main objectives of the family-owned company is to work together with customers and partners to improve the quality of living of furniture buyers. Blum strives to enable beautiful, functional and long-lasting products based on findings from its own requirement research.
Alongside the ideas that Blum was keen to engage its customers in, it also showed a number of concept ideas, from the 'disappearing' pocket doors, to a brand new drawerbox which will enable manufacturers to use a variety of different pull-out designs within one drawerbox. And its Aventos lift-system got an overhaul with the addition of Servo-Drive to the HK top hinge.
Visitors, as usual, were thrilled with the quality and innovation on the stand. Marketing manager at Blum UK, Lisa Robinson, was enthusiastic about the response of visitors: "We were inundated with existing and potential customers, all eager to engage with the moving ideas part of the stand. The tiny spaces special exhibition was of particular interest to urban planners, who are having to work in ever-decreasing spaces."

What is happening to all of the DIY venues in Providence? While there are still shows happening almost every night, compared to previous years, the number of venues hosting events is surprisingly slim. Browsing the Lotsofnoise show listings and forum reveals that most shows are being held at Providence's two artist-run venues with institutional funding, AS220 and Firehouse 13. Only occasionally does one come across listings at more specialized DIY spaces--power electronics and harsh noise shows at the Thunderdome in the West End neighborhood, or punk, metal and hardcore shows at a small house on Cemetery Street.
In general, DIY events are productions in which neither the organizers nor the performers intend to invest any money, making due with what is freely available. These shows run the gamut from informal gatherings of friends to the performances of internationally touring musicians. As such, DIY performances require flexibility in planning and a venue that doesn't charge for booking, ruling out more traditional venues like bars or Lupo's.
Over the past two years, the situation for touring bands and DIY organizers in Providence has become increasingly grim. The existing model principally supports local musicians, many of whom gained international recognition in the early 2000s. AS220 was largely established to provide opportunities for Rhode Island artists by giving them priority in booking. The venue was designed with the needs of independent organizers and DIY events in mind, as there is no charge for using the venue. If money is actually made, the first $75 goes to paying the sound manager for the event and the remainder is distributed between the bands. AS220 became a mainstay of the local scene by hosting a wide range of shows with diverse lineups. But since the departure of former program director Jeffery Alexander in late 2007, the AS220 lineup has catered to a smaller group of Rhode Island bands with lower profiles, and well known musicians such as Kites and Lightning Bolt have focused their energies elsewhere.
Historically, artists and musicians in Providence have benefitted from a wide range of inexpensive and unused industrial buildings--discrete, off-the-map spaces that are large enough to simultaneously house living arrangements, studios and performance spaces. In recent years, many of these buildings have been bought up by real estate developers and transformed into high-end, mixed-use office and condominium parks, which have sold with moderate success. This real estate trend, coupled with rising property values, has stripped the city of several important sites, like Monohasset Mills, a six building mill complex that in 2002 was purchased by a local group of artists and redeveloped into posh condominiums, and the Pine Needle Nest, a four story mill building where a variety of shows--including the well known West Side Halloween festivities--were held until 2006.
But while there are still enough mill spaces in Providence to satisfy the studio needs of artists, the number of spaces putting on performances has critically dropped. Many mill building landlords are willing to look the other way for discrete clients, but bringing larger numbers of people into a space can run the risk of attracting the attention of police or fire departments, as well as accruing hefty zoning and regulatory fines. Artist-built structures only occasionally meet fire code, and the discovery of even a single mattress can lead to an eviction notice.
As the generosity of individuals running alternative venues has worn thin, it is easy to understand why the residents of the remaining DIY spaces are closing their doors to new shows. Eviction fears and bad experiences have triggered a watchful conservatism; most spaces now limit themselves to promoting and providing opportunities exclusively to their friends and associated circles. This has largely hampered diversity, but it also spells trouble for the future of Providence's musical community. Over the past two years, the local music scene has lost a number of key organizers. Mat Brinkman, a founder of Fort Thunder, was a hub for international contacts. Geoff Mullen, musician and former AS220 employee, served as an instrumental link between younger local musicians in Providence and other music communities. After Brinkman departed for Texas and Mullen for Pittsburgh, many of those links to outside communities were broken. The result of these changes is that the number of people moving into Providence or staying behind after school for the arts community is shrinking. With fewer and fewer ins to an increasingly scattered musical scene, one wonders if the historical appeal of Providence's hyperactive and genre-defying musical community has irreversibly faded. Organizers need not only a thoughtful reevaluation of the remaining resources, but to adopt a more aggressive curatorial stance if the musical scene in Providence is to survive in its winter ahead.

Abstract and Keywords
Humankind has always lived with natural hazards and their consequences. While the frequency and intensity of geological processes may have remained relatively stable, population growth and infrastructure development in areas susceptible to experiencing natural hazards has increased societal risk and the losses experienced from hazard activity. Furthermore, increases in weather-related (e.g., hurricanes, wildfires) hazards emanating from climate change will increase risk in some countries and result in others having to deal with natural hazard risk for the first time.
Faced with growing and enduring risk, disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies will play increasingly important roles in facilitating societal sustainability. This article discusses how readiness or preparedness makes an important contribution to comprehensive DRR. Readiness is defined here in terms of those factors that facilitate people's individual and collective capability to anticipate, cope with, adapt to, and recover from hazard consequences. This article first discusses the need to conceptualize readiness as comprising several functional categories (structural, survival/direct action, psychological, community/capacity building, livelihood and community-agency readiness).
Next, the article discusses how the nature and extent of people's readiness is a function of the interaction between the information available and the personal, family, community and societal factors used to interpret information and support readiness decision-making. The health belief model (HBM), protection motivation theory (PMT), person-relative-to-event (PrE) theory, theory of planned behavior (TPB), critical awareness (CA), protective action decision model (PADM), and community engagement theory (CET) are used to introduce variables that inform people's readiness decision-making. A need to consider readiness as a developmental process is discussed and identifies how the variables introduced in the above theories play different roles at different stages in the development of comprehensive readiness.
Because many societies must learn to coexist with several sources of hazard, an "all-hazards" approach is required to facilitate the capacity of societies and their members to be resilient in the face of the various hazard consequences they may have to contend with. This article discusses research into readiness for the consequences that arise from earthquake, volcanic, flood, hurricane, and tornado hazards. Furthermore, because hazards transcend national and cultural divides, a comprehensive conceptualization of readiness must accommodate a cross-cultural perspective. Issues in the cross-cultural testing of theory is discussed, as is the need for further work into the relationship between readiness and culture-specific beliefs and processes.
Keywords: readiness, preparedness, human responses, culture, disaster risk reduction, community, family, risk, warnings, mitigation

Mic Handz ft. Money Bag Maj - Packwork
- Artist: Mic Handz
- Track: Packwork
- Producer: DJ Kid Cut
Sundays are traditionally a time to relax before the start of another busy work week, but you won't catch Mic Handz kicking back on his La-Z-Boy. Today, like every other day, you'll find the Flatbush representative out "on the boulevard," putting in that Packwork. His first feature since bringing us Sean Price-assisted street banger Stay Givin' It Up back in February, this freshly-minted promo single is similar to its predecessor in theme, but boasts a funkier, more upbeat sound. DJ Kid Cut's swaggering rhythm section and chopped brass samples set the mood as Handz' chronicles his tireless pursuit of the Almighty Dollar, employing a flow and vocal delivery that reflect his determination to succeed. In between his breathless opening and closing bars, fellow Brooklynite Money Bag Maj grabs the mic to deliver a cool and collected middle 16. This single isn't attached to any larger project, but we'll keep you posted on Mic Handz' plans as further details emerge.

Lin-Manuel Miranda - Epilogue lyrics
Justin would later find out it's a felony in Florida to sell marijuana. And the penalty is even harsher for selling it on school property. In other words, Justin had made an irreversibly bad decision. And since he was over 18, he was legally an adult when he made it
Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life. I am doing my job. I am doing it right. I am making life safer one school at a time
In May, the police arrested 31 students at several schools. Justin was one of them
Freeze! You have the right to remain silent
Everybody who sold d** to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold d** to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold d** to undercover cops is busted
Everybody who sold d** to undercover cops is busted
He spent a week in jail wondering what would happen next
It's your word against hers. The cops have every text. The cops have every text. The cops have every text. "Don't worry, girl. I got the stuff, I got you."
He knew he'd lose in court. He had to take a plea
Three years' probation. I plead guilty to the felony
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/lin-manuel-miranda/21-chump-street-the-musical/epilogue.html]
What? A felony? A nickel bag's a felony? What? Justin, say goodbye to college, they got you
These kids need to wake up. I don't want to go too much into it, but d** hit really close to home for me. I saw the effects growing up of c**aine, and marijuana, and ecstasy
With family members?
Yes. I've seen what it can do to a family. That's all I want to say about it
Do you wish someone like you had done this type of work?
Yes. And I hope someone like me keeps doing it. Still, there are kids you remember, the ones that you'll think about after you're gone
During the week he spent in jail, Justin couldn't help but think about Naomi
She was a light-skinneded Puerto Rican-Dominican, long hair, mature in the body like whoa. That's not the only reason I liked her, though. Yo, if it had been a guy that came up to me asking me for d**, I would've been like, "No, get out of my face." I don't hang out with people like that. It's cause it was her
Have you talked to her since all of this happened?
No. I would love to. I would love to have that conversation
What do you think you would say?
I would say, what the heck did you do? What the heck did you do? Naomi? What the heck did you do?

With summer starting on Friday, we could be in for a hot three months in more ways than one. On-going trade battles, the potential for escalation of tensions in the Middle East, the continuing white-hot political rhetoric, which may include an attempt to impeach the President, are just three of the many issues that are continuing to spike investor worry and volatility. In addition, with interest rates back at cycle lows, the Treasury market is hardly a safe haven now.
One good idea for nervous investors is to move out of momentum plays, and go to safer dividend stocks, like those that reside in the Merrill Lynch Large Cap Defensive Portfolio. This is how the portfolio managers describe the holdings.
The primary objective is to protect principal with some emphasis on income from what we view as the relatively safest, highest quality investments. This portfolio furthers its objective by focusing on stocks offering liquidity and consistency of dividend growth to provide some protection against inflation.
We screened the stocks in the portfolio looking for the highest dividend paying companies. All of these top stocks are rated Buy at Merrill Lynch.
American Electric Power
This industry leading utility is also a solid dividend paying company. American Electric Power Co., Inc. (NYSE: AEP) is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5.4 million customers in 11 states. The company ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 32,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. American Electric also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, with a 39,000 mile network that includes more 765 kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined.
Many on Wall Street feel that the stock trades at a discount to its utility peers, and they feel it deserves a premium. Top analysts also think the company may sell generating assets and buy back shares with the proceeds, which will be also accretive. American Electric Power shareholders are paid a solid 2.97% dividend. The Merrill price target is posted at $93, while the consensus price target across Wall Street is set at $86.19. Shares closed on Monday at $90.08.
This is a top pharmaceutical stock made a gigantic splash this week with a $10.6 billion purchase of cancer drug maker Array Bio Pharma (NASDAQ: ARRY). Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) is a global biopharmaceutical company with a diversified portfolio of products and pipeline candidates. The company's commercial operations are bifurcated into two business segments: Innovative Health (IH) and Essential Health (EH).
Pfizer is also one of the largest Pharmaceutical companies in the world as measured by market capitalization and revenue, and is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Investors are paid a very solid 3.37% dividend. The Merrill Lynch price objective is $49 and that compares with the Wall Street consensus price objective which is posted at $45.57. The shares closed Monday at $42.88.
Royal Dutch Shell
This company is a top international play for investors looking to add energy exposure and is yet another company that has posted solid results. Royal Dutch Shell plc (NYSE: RDS-A) operates as an independent oil and gas company worldwide. It operates through Upstream and Downstream segments. The company explores for and extracts crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Royal Dutch Shell also converts natural gas to liquids to provide fuels and other products; markets and trades crude oil and natural gas; transports oil; liquefies and transports gas; extracts bitumen from mined oil sands and converts it to synthetic crude oil; and generates electricity from wind energy.
Royal Dutch Shell also engages in the conversion of crude oil into a range of refined products, including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, aviation fuel, marine fuel, liquefied natural gas (LNG) for transport, lubricants, bitumen, and sulphur; production and sale of petrochemicals for industrial customers; refining; trading and supply; pipelines and marketing; and alternative energy businesses.
Investors are paid a huge 5.04% dividend. The Merrill Lynch price objective is $69, and that compares with the higher Wall Street consensus figure of $79.58. The stock closed Monday at $62.92.
Simon Property
Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE: SPG) invests in the real estate markets across the globe. The company engages in investment, ownership, management, and development of properties. Simon Property primarily invests in regional malls, premium outlets, mills, and community/lifestyle centers to create its portfolio. Through its subsidiary partnership, they also own or has an interest in about 230 properties in the US and Asia. The company also has a 28.9% interest in Klepierre, a European REIT with over 260 shopping centers in 13 countries.
One key driver of growth will include the $1.0 billion+ of development/redevelopment planned over the next few years. The Merrill Lynch team also feels that the company's high quality portfolio is weathering the retail storm better than most.
Shareholders are paid a massive 4.97% distribution. The Merrill Lynch price target is $188. The consensus price target on Wall Street is $186.89. The shares ended trading Monday at $166.54.
Verizon Communications
This is a top telecommunications company that offers tremendous value. Verizon Communications, Inc (NYSE: VZ) is a global leader in delivering the digital world. Verizon Wireless operates America's self described most reliable wireless network, with 109.5 million retail connections nationwide. Verizon also provides converged communications, information and entertainment services over America's most advanced fiber-optic network, and delivers integrated business solutions to customers worldwide.
Verizon investors are paid an outstanding 4.14% dividend. The Merrill Lynch price target is posted at $64, while the consensus is set at $59.71. The stock closed Thursday trading at $57.63.
Five top blue chip companies from the Merrill Lynch Defensive Portfolio that not only are priced right, but pay dependable dividends. We are clearly in a very vulnerable market, and while the economy is still acting reasonably good economic indicators have slowed, so it makes sense for investors to look for safer territory for now.
