Sweden’s Crown Princess marries long-time boyfriend

By November 14, 2017

Monday, June 21, 2010

Sweden’s first royal wedding since 1976 took place Saturday when Crown Princess Victoria, 32, married her long-time boyfriend and former personal trainer, Daniel Westling, 36. The ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral.

Over 1,200 guests, including many rulers, politicians, royals and other dignitaries from across the world, attended the wedding, which cost an estimated 20 million Swedish kronor. Victoria wore a wedding dress with five-metre long train designed by Pär Engsheden. She wore the same crown that her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day 34 years previously, also on June 19. Victoria’s father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, walked Victoria down the aisle, which was deemed untraditional by many. In Sweden, the bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together, emphasising the country’s views on equality. Victoria met with Daniel half-way to the altar, where they exchanged brief kisses, and, to the sounds of the wedding march, made their way to the the silver altar. She was followed by ten bridesmaids. The couple both had tears in their eyes as they said their vows, and apart from fumbling when they exchanged rings, the ceremony went smoothly.

Following the ceremony, the couple headed a fast-paced procession through central Stockholm on a horse-drawn carriage, flanked by police and security. Up to 500,000 people are thought to have lined the streets. They then boarded the Vasaorden, the same royal barge Victoria’s parents used in their wedding, and traveled through Stockholm’s waters, accompanied by flyover of 18 fighter jets near the end of the procession. A wedding banquet followed in the in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace.

Controversy has surrounded the engagement and wedding between the Crown Princess and Westling, a “commoner”. Victoria met Westling as she was recovering from bulemia in 2002. He owned a chain of gymnasiums and was brought in to help bring Victoria back to full health. Westling was raised in a middle-class family in Ockelbo, in central Sweden. His father managed a social services centre, and his mother worked in a post office. When the relationship was made public, Westling was mocked as an outsider and the king was reportedly horrified at the thought of his daughter marrying a “commoner”, even though he did so when he married Silvia. Last year, Westling underwent transplant surgery for a congenital kidney disorder. The Swedish public have been assured that he will be able to have children and that his illness will not be passed on to his offspring.

Westling underwent years of training to prepare for his new role in the royal family, including lessons in etiquette, elocution, and multi-lingual small talk; and a makeover that saw his hair being cropped short, and his plain-looking glasses and clothes being replaced by designer-wear.

Upon marrying the Crown Princess, Westling took his wife’s ducal title and is granted the style “His Royal Highness”. He is now known as HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. He also has his own coat-of-arms and monogram. When Victoria assumes the throne and becomes Queen, Daniel will not become King, but assume a supportive role, similar to that of Prince Phillip, the husband of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II.

Power Modules Get Through, But Think Before Choosing}

By November 13, 2017

Submitted by: DAVID SMITH

Power modules will come in your mind first when it is about leveraging the knowledge of the power specialists and bringing your model to the market promptly, but think before choosing. Power-module architecture selections can have an significant impact on the performance of your power supply.

Either judging step-down switching regulators at the silicon-level (moderator with FET), or power modules where the consolidation, and effortlessness of usage of a further accomplished power supply subsystem can be preferable, system makers are under immense pressure in all over the world. Though the form factors are being curtailed day by day, the system designers are being assigned with amalgamating more power and features. Systems electrical and thermal characteristics are being affected adversely by this.

To integrate nirvana, the system designers must have to overcome several obstacles. Increased possibility of noise coupling is included to these. This is very likely to occur as components are in close proximity, as well as heat wastage, given that the power-handling capabilities continue to rise along with lesser footprint areas.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8s9dmuAKvU[/youtube]

Luckily, power module designers resume to introduce new ideas to fulfill these challenging demands with the help of different architectural and topological design techniques those extract the utmost performance from the smallest package. Still, these innovations put the burden on the system designers in need of the perfect power module to be cautious in their option of solutions. The methods used by various power module solutions may comprehensively have an effect on total system cost, as well as primary performance parameters such as heat dissipation, transient response, ripple voltage, and even ease of use. Its a great instance of buyer beware.

Modular versus Discrete case

For system designers, there are many causes to choose for a power module against designing a power converter from the component level, not least of which are ease of use and time-to-market. By attaching input and output capacitors only, these power customers can finish their designs comparatively simply and rapidly, with confidence that their primary performance and space necessities have been met. The power module is a total power converter system in an encapsulated combination that comprehends a PWM controller, simultaneous switching MOSFETs, inductors and passive components.

Australian government announces study of tax system

By November 13, 2017

Monday, February 27, 2006

The Australian federal treasurer, Peter Costello, has announced a study to compare the Australian taxation system with those of other countries. It will include overall tax levels, as well as indirect tax, income tax and company tax systems. Mr Costello says that the results are intended to inform discussion of the future of the tax system.

“The aim of the study is to provide a public document that compares Australian taxes to those in other countries. This will identify those areas where Australia leads comparable countries and those areas where it lags. It will enable a focus on the most important areas,” Mr Costello said in a media release.

The study will be lead by Mr Richard (Dick) Warburton and Mr Peter Hendy. Mr Warburton is Chairman of Caltex Australia Ltd, and has been Chairman of the Board of Taxation since its inception in September 2000. According to its website, the Board of Taxation is “a non-statutory advisory body charged with contributing a business and broader community perspective to improving the design of taxation laws and their operation.”

The Australian Democrats welcomed the study but warned that nothing would be achieved without serious reform of the tax system.

“The Inquiry announced yesterday by the Treasurer may turn out to be a step in the right direction but will be a pointless exercise if it ends up being simply a ‘desktop’ report,” said Senator Murray, Democrats Tax Spokesperson.

“The problem with Mr Costello’s approach is that in contrast to the approach taken on the GST, the New Tax System, and the Business Tax System, he has seen income tax change to be solely part of the budget process. Across the whole of the political and public policy spectrum, there is strong agreement that reform is needed, not just tax cuts, and that the income tax system needs redesigning, not just fine tuning.”

Home-invaders pose as NYC police

By November 10, 2017

Monday, July 16, 2007

In two separate incidents, men posing as members of the New York Police Department (NYPD), have invaded homes in the New York City area. In both cases, they robbed the residents, but in the most recent, they sexually assaulted a woman.

On Saturday, July 14, at 1:09 a.m. EDT (UTC-4), four men knocked on the door of a Yonkers, New York, apartment. The 33-year-old male that lives there opened the door, as the men outside wore NYPD hats and t-shirts, and had badges hanging around their necks.

The men promptly ordered the male victim to the floor. “When this guy pushed me, he had a gun in my face,” the victim said. “I could see the other guy. He motioned to the others, come on, let’s go, let’s go.” The intruders shouted “Where are the drugs?” as they ransacked the apartment.

Two of the men entered the bedroom and sexually assaulted the 30-year-old female. The couple has a five-year-old child, who was sleeping in another bedroom. “The more I resisted, the more he began to hit me,” the woman said. She said she was sexually assaulted by two of the men while her boyfriend was bound and guarded.

Frightened. Make you think twice before you want to open the door, you know

Police said the men then left with a cell phone, a laptop computer, a diamond ring and a gold chain. Police do not believe that they were real officers. As of this afternoon, no arrests have been made.

On Thursday, July 5, shortly after six p.m. in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn five men knocked on the door claiming to be “the police.” When the victims opened the door, they pushed their way in demanding the family give them drugs and money.

When police responded to a call reporting a robbery, they found the family, husband, wife and their daughter, tied up. The man suffered a head injury when he was pistol-whipped. Police say the robbers got away with a camera, jewelry, and US$5,000 in currency.

Neighbors told NY1 that they were stunned. “Frightened. Make you think twice before you want to open the door, you know,” said one of the neighbors. “Now you be asking for all this ID and stuff and even still you’re going to wonder, are they for real? So it’s kind of scary.”

There is no word about whether the two cases are connected. Yonkers is on the border of New York City, but is outside the jurisdiction of the NYPD.

Colchester: What To Do When You Stay In Colchester

By November 7, 2017

By Arthur Townlands

The oldest town in Britain, Colchester, can be traced back to Roman times.

Obviously it has moved with the times and there is plenty to see and do when you visit Colchester, whether your trip is for business, pleasure or a combination of both.

Colchester United are a successful football club, playing in the Championship league. They also have an equally successful women’s team, the Colchester United Ladies, so there is a good chance there will be a match being played in the town most weeks.

If you are young enough still to use a skateboard or your children like to practice skateboarding then Colchester Skatepark has lots of facilities for extreme sports of this nature.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9xFaTfWVVs[/youtube]

American Football fans should try to time their visit to be when the Colchester Gladiators are playing a home match at Broad Lane Stadium.

Art fanatics aren’t left out. The countryside surrounding the town is called Constable Country as the artist John Constable painted many of his works in the nearby villages.

If you are planning a longer trip then the nearby town of Clacton on Sea is a seaside resort that is within easy reach of Colchester.

When you are planning your trip to Colchester, there are plenty of friendly guest houses and bed and breakfasts to stay in, both in the town and in nearby villages. These offer a pleasant and more personal alternative to the chain hotels, which can be very “samey”, and you’ll usually find that the price you pay for an overnight room is similar or even below that charged by the various Inn and Lodge chains.

Just four miles away from Colchester is the East Anglian Railway Museum, located at the Chappel and Wakes Colne station. Here you can see railway locomotives and rolling stock and on the museum open days you have the opportunity to take a short steam train ride on their demonstration track. If your interest lies in other directions, the railway museum also holds an annual cider festival during June and a beer festival later in the year during September.

If your guest house or hotel doesn’t offer dinner or if you want a change of scenery, there are plenty of places to eat out in and around Colchester. You can choose from a wide range of places including local pubs who offer a choice of traditional “pub food”. Alternatively you could decide to eat from a wide range of other cuisines including traditional British, American, Italian, Chinese or Indian food. If you or your children prefer, there are several pizza restaurants to choose from.

If you’re visiting Colchester with a group of others, you may even consider the idea of having a friendly contest at the local ten pin bowling Super Bowl. Another idea for a friendly contest would be to book some cars at the local indoor karting track. For that spur of the moment decision, they even offer a service that allows you to simply turn up and drive a go kart.

About the Author: When you visit Colchester, choose from this wide range of Colchester accommodation.

Honda recalls fire risk cars

By November 7, 2017

Saturday, January 30, 2010

Honda have issued a recall for 646,000 cars around the world due to a potential fault that could cause a fire. The recall involves the ‘Jazz’ range of cars, which is known by its alternative name, Fit, in some countries.

water intrusion into the power window switch housing may in some instances cause a short circuit

Three incidents involving the problem, caused by a defective master switch, have been reported worldwide, two in the US and one in South Africa. In September 2009, Vanilla Nurse, a two-year old girl, was sleeping in one of the models, when the hatchback in Cape Town caught fire. Following the accident, Honda “launched an extensive investigation to determine the cause of the incident,” according to a statement issued today. Although they could not isolate the cause of the fire, “the investigation has shown that water intrusion into the power window switch housing may in some instances cause a short circuit, which in exceptional circumstances may lead to potential damages”.

Just 10% of cars are expected to need new switches. The remainder will need a waterproof skirt in order to keep water out.

Rival Toyota was forced to recall vehicles on Thursday, citing floor mats that may stick accelerator pedals to the floor. There are fears that Toyota may have to widen their recall to cover up to eight million cars.

Victoria Wyndham on Another World and another life

By November 7, 2017

Thursday, December 13, 2007

Victoria Wyndham was one of the most seasoned and accomplished actresses in daytime soap opera television. She played Rachel Cory, the maven of Another World‘s fictional town, Bay City, from 1972 to 1999 when the show went off the air. Wyndham talks about how she was seen as the anchor of a show, and the political infighting to keep it on the air as NBC wanted to wrest control of the long-running soap from Procter & Gamble. Wyndham fought to keep it on the air, but eventually succumbed to the inevitable. She discusses life on the soap opera, and the seven years she spent wandering “in the woods” of Los Angeles seeking direction, now divorced from a character who had come to define her professional career. Happy, healthy and with a family she is proud of, Wyndham has found life after the death of Another World in painting and animals. Below is David Shankbone’s interview with the soap diva.
