The R5/EMX
Scan/Reset Tool for Mini Cooper 2001-2006

Reads all engine fault codes, resets service engine soon, oilservice and inspection!

  • Available for Mini Coopers (includes S models) built between 2001- 2006.
  • Displays all engine fault codes; allowing you to do your own engine diagnostic!
  • Resets the "Service Engine Soon" light.
  • Resets the Oilservice and Inspection lights, and service mileage.
  • Very easy to use (compares to checking your oil, it's that easy!)
  • Low cost at just $129.99.
  • Includes instruction manual and code chart

Message to Mini owners:

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you need an R5/EMX!
Has your Mini ever stalled, been slow to start, idled poorly or hesitated during acceleration? Has the "Service Engine Soon" light come on when everything seemed fine? Have you brought your car to a repair shop with an engine or service light on, received a costly repair bill, and wondered if the repairs and charges were legitimate? Or wondered if you could have just done the repair yourself?

Without the R5/EMX scan and reset tool from Peake Research, you may be forced to accept what the repair/service center tells you and charges you. Wouldn't it be great to know exactly what's wrong before you bring your Mini in for a repair? Or, better yet, if you're handy with tools you can avoid the repair shop altogether. Rrun your own diagnostic and fix the problem yourself! That is, if your car even needs a repair. Read on...

What is the Engine light trying to tell me?
The Mini's Service Engine Soon light can mean any number of things. Sometimes it's alerting you to the real need for a repair, so the Engine light is something you should never ignore. But quite often it is merely indicating one of the many, simple (top off your coolant, loose gas cap or oil cap) type problems. Imagine paying a hundred dollars to a repair shop to tighten your radiator cap and reset the Engine light. Without the R5/EMX, you're stuck staring at your Engine light until you're in the mood to see the mechanic who can reset it.

Are you starting to see that the R5/EMX makes lot's of financial sense? There's more...

Routine Maintenance Lights
As an added benefit, the R5/EMX includes the ability to reset the oilservice and inspection, routine maintenance lights, and the maintenance mileage count-down indicator. Considering that an oilservice for a Mini can sometimes equal the price of the R5/EMX, this feature alone is worth the price of the R5/EMX.

Indispensable for mechanics and Mini owners, here's why:

  • Compact size
  • Very easy to use (compares to pumping your own gasoline - it's that easy!)
  • Inexpensive
  • Available for any Mini from 2001 to 2006; Cooper and Cooper S.
  • Durable enough to withstand daily use by professional mechanics.

According to our toughest critics (mechanics), we have succeeded with flying colors! At this price, every mechanic can afford at least one.

As an added benefit, the R5/FCX-3 includes the ability to reset the oilservice and inspection, routine maintenance lights, and the maintenance mileage countdown indicator on most 87-04 models. Considering that an oilservice for a BMW can sometimes equal the price of the R5/FCX-3, this feature alone is worth the price of the R5/FCX-3. Note: People often confuse the SI lights "oilservice" and "inspection" with the CBS system, which does not have an oilservice or inspection light. It should be noted that on many 05 and later models the R5/FCX3, while fully able to read codes and reset the Service Engine Soon light up to 2007¹, is unable to reset the CBS indicator. Check your 05+ BMW (or 745).

Indispensable for Mechanics and BMW owners:

So I was wandering the 'net one day and came across a review for my BNB in which a guest registered a complaint. She wrote that "the window air conditioner is noisy." Hmmm... that's not good, but I had a solution.

As of May 1, 2015, there is no longer a window air conditioner. Instead, there is now a state-of-the-art Mitsubishi Mini-Split whole-house unit that offers QUIET... shhhh coolness. Perfect!

As an added bonus, the former closed window in the upstairs loft bedroom now offers an additional view of the woods, more natural light, and a expanded openness to the loft itself.

So to the guest who wrote the critique about the noisy window unit, I say Thank You!

The quiet world

In an effort to get people to look into each other's eyes more,

the government has decided to allow each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear without saying hello.

In the restaurant I point at chicken noodle soup.

I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long-distance lover and proudly say: I only used fifty-nine today.

I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn't respond, I know she's used up all her words,

so I slowly whisper I love you, thirty-two and a third times.

After that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe.

- "The quiet world" av Jeffrey mMcdaniel

Know The Story Of This Woman Who Bravely Fought A Hitman Who Came To Kill Her

Featured News

I think that’s the most beautiful thing that happens to an individual in their life. The happy side of wedding brings along with it the other side which is harsh/ dark as marriages don’t always last forever. Some individuals in their marriages have to face the dark side, so is this woman named Susan Kuhnhausen (now Susan Walters). Her story depicts that how badly things can turn into a marriage.

In 2006, Susan and her husband Mike Kuhnhausen had completed 17 years of their marriage. She had been working as an emergency nurse for 30 years and one day as she returned home from work to an empty house. There she received a note from her husband which stated that he was out on the beach, so she switched off the security alarm and started collecting her mail and just then she saw the darkness in her bedroom.

As she entered the room she had a man looming over her. The man lunged at her with a hammer in his hand. As she side-stepped but the man somehow managed to hit on her head. The brave lady fought back as she managed to wrestle the hammer away from him. In 15 minutes altercation, she strangled the guy and bite the attacker as well.

As the attacker dies, she went to her neighbor and for help dialed 911. When the police investigated the matter they came to know that Edward Dalton Haffey was the killer and he was paid $50,000 by her own husband to kill her.

When the police caught Mike he confessed to his crimes.

Cousin Crystal Hill's Misc. Art and Costumes

Cousin Crystal doesn't just draw, she sculpts as well!  Here are some
photos she took of Larry and Balki dolls she made using Super Sculpy!

After a LOT of work, Cousin Crystal finished her bendable Balki and Larry dolls, complete with little Dimitri and
Maalox bottle accessories, which are simply amazing!

Crystal explained part of the process of making them this way:  "I found some Ken clothes that worked.
But I still had to sew a little.  Balki's pants were too wide so I had to narrow them.  His shirt was plain old
white so I dyed it and altered his collar.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  Their heads, hands and
feet are made from Super Sculpy polymer clay.  The inside is wire and electrical tape and two pieces of
gravel to give the body some weight.  The couch is made from that flowerists foam with some fabric glued on.
It was really fun making these guys and I learned a lot."

And here is Cousin Crystal's Larry action figure!  As Crystal explains:  "I've been having so much fun making custom action figures!  I discovered a couple months ago that I can repaint toys that I already have to be someone completely different, and there's a great air-dry clay that sticks to plastic that can be used to alter clothes and hair.  Oh, man that stuff is fun.  THEN I found out that if you heat plastic up you can take them apart and interchange parts!  Kind of morbid, I know but it helps if you have a head that needs different cloths.  Larry here is made with Lt. Carey's (Voyager) head, with sculpted hair.  His arms are O'Brian's (wanted rolled up sleeves) and the body is Scotty's, but I had to change the pant cuffs because the TOS uniforms have those short pants.  It was a lot of fun!  I even made him a little coffee cup but my camera busted so I only have this picture.  I hope to  make Balki and the girls soon too, but a vest is gonna be a killer to sculpt right.

Cousin Crystal offers this explanation for the following: "One day I was sitting around,
bored stiff.  And had nothing but a pen.  Boredom is the mother of insanity."

Cousin Crystal is also amazingly talented when it comes to costumes and
make up, which can clearly be seen in these photographs of her as Cousin Larry!

This is a fabulous bit of artwork combined with clever photography to make a
unique scenario!  As Cousin Crystal explains,
"Larry just did not want to cooperate when
I was drawing him today.  I think he had a date with Jennifer or something because he
kept trying to sneak off the page!"
  She promises more artwork like this in the future!

Here is another wonderful example of Cousin Crystal's creativity,
this time utilizing Mary Anne, who is getting her "finishing touch"
from Crystal's colored pencil (which is magic in her hand!)

And just when you thought Cousin Crystal couldn't possible be any more talented,
she went ahead and put Cousin Coastiegirl's beautiful poem, The Tale of Balki and Larry,
to music!  And you can now listen to it by clicking the graphic below!

Super Pawn (Posted on 2006-04-07) Difficulty: 1 of 5
Bob has an idea on how to make some extra cash. He pawns $30 at the local pawn shop for $15. Then he goes to the pub next door and sells the $30 pawn ticket to Jim for $20. It looks like both make money on the deal. Is that true? Who gets the short end of the transaction? Is it Bob, Jim, or the pawn shop?

When you become aware of feeling stressed:-

  • Say      STOP      to yourself.
  • Breathe in deeply through your nose; breathe out slowly through your mouth. As you do so, let your shoulders sag, clench your hands tight and then release.
  • Breathe deeply again as before, and as you breathe out, clench your teeth hard and then release.
  • Breathe quietly and shallowly for a moment or two.
  • Now continue with what you were doing.

This can be repeated as often as necessary during a stressful situation.

There are a number of things that you can do to enhance your feeling of relaxation and to control stressful feelings. Things such as starting meditation of any kind, learning yoga, t'ai ch'i or visualisation/guided imagery will all be invaluable and they all have two common elements: -

  • A method of regulating the breathing. Breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth in a regular rhythm. As you continue to breathe in this manner, gradually allow your breathing to adjust to its own depth.
  • A method of focussing the mind. This may be on movement, as in t'ai ch'i, on posture, as in yoga, on a mental image, as in visualisation or guided imagery, on a sound or mantra, as in some types of meditation, on an object such as a candle flame as in other types of meditation or on the breath as it enters and leaves the body.

These techniques all require practice in order to become effective, but if you commit between 15 and 30 minutes of each day to the practice of your chosen method, you will find that you become calmer and more relaxed, and that over time, this state is more likely to become  your habitual state.

Persuasive Writing - Reasons

Walt: Plan out a persuasive piece of writing
Our task was to create some reasons by using the google drawing that Mrs llaoa has created. We had to make our reasons, we had to make a counter argument about what others would say about your reasons. It took a lot of thinking to use and what we wanted to talk about.

Renewable Energy Resilience

Nanogrids, Microgrids and Virtual Power Plants

Expert on new energy business models such as nanogrids, microgrids and virtual power plants, covering cutting edge energy and environmental issues for over 25 years.

Integrating Transactive Energy into Virtual Power Plants - How So?

The concepts of virtual power plants (VPPs) and transactive energy (TE) are similar in that they place prosumers—formerly passive consumers that now also produce energy—front and center in an emerging market for grid services delivered by distributed energy resources (DER).

Navigant Research believes that the future of energy rests on the foundation of cleaner, distributed, and intelligent networks of power. The VPP model presents a compelling vision of the future, as does TE. When combined, new revenue streams for diverse energy market stakeholders are inevitable. The biggest question is: What portion of the VPP/TE vortex of possibilities will find its way into prosumer pockets?

Much more work needs to be done to flesh out these prospective advances, but in a new report entitled VPP Transactive Revenue Streams, I identify six grid services that I predict could become enhanced by integrating TE within the VPP framework. Much more work needs to be doneto put money into stakeholder pockets, so I’ve also briefly identified the regulatory challenges that need to be addressed to make these revenue streams real:

·         Localized clean energy:How can previous policy vehicles such as net metering and feed-in tariffs be accommodated or revised (or eliminated altogether) to shift from subsidy schemes to a more transparent market locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally? TE platforms operating within VPPs may be a good starting point to explore how to move in this new direction.

·         Virtual capacity:Just as consumer supports need to be revisited for solar PV and other distributed generation, so do somewhat arcane assumptions governing determinations of resource adequacy for wholesale system planning. Perhaps exit fees and demand charges are obsolete in a DER-rich future. What are new ways to monetize the actual non-generation-related services a power grid provides?

·         Real-time Demand Response: More sophisticated load-based demand response will be part of the tool kit to displace ramping fossil fuel generators up and down in response to variations in solar and wind. Harvesting load will be one of the key innovations to benefit from TE-based blockchain ledger systems.

·         Fast frequency Regulation: While the VPP seeks to provide creative fast frequency response, the sources of such services are still often spread far apart. In an ideal world, localized generation, energy storage, and load could be marshalled to address frequency challenges to the grid. How can we integrate locational benefits in the pricing of such grid services?

·         Smart voltage control:The proliferation of smart inverters onto the grid represent a rich resource portfolio that can be monetized in multiple ways. TE trades would enable a similar value proposition as fast frequency response. The same challenges to pricing locational benefits apply.

·         Big data from small sources:A VPP supported by TE must rely on accurate and timely data, analytics, and insights. While prosumers may not reap large profits from the data they provide via TE, ESPs and distribution system operators may view this as the largest revenue streams flowing from the digital grid utility transformation.

Do VPPs create opportunities for TE revenue streams or vice versa? Most likely, these two DER platforms will evolve in parallel. DER management systems that can harmonize VPP and TE platforms must incorporate market pricing mechanisms to reflect the changing value of millions of connected endpoints throughout the day. That’s a supreme challenge, which also translates into a major revenue stream opportunity for the Energy Cloud ecosystem.

What is the state of FULL KNOWING?

What exactly is “Full Knowing?” Defining that which is infinite is like defining “nothingness.” As soon as words and descriptive phrases are used, the “nothing” becomes “something!”  Even with the difficulty in defining it, there are some things we do know and can experience about this state of Full Knowing.

  • Words/Language are not used for communications…only Feeling Flows
  • Connect (Bundle) vibration, resonance, frequency in infinite harmonics for focus
  • Reality Systems, Cosmic Awareness, and Full Knowing are the three states of focus

After asking Peter and the 12 Many Friends for better understandings of The State of Full Knowing, I found myself watching a TV show whose guest was a researcher of “Miracles.”  He began telling the story of Champion, Wisconsin’s legend as a place for miracles. When next I looked up at the screen, there was an elderly couple (Grandparents) with a story to tell. The Grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer which had spread to her lungs. The Doctor told her she had 2 years to live. The couple called a family meeting so all three of their children could hear the news. The woman explained that she was a “non-practicing” Catholic, but had for years believed she could talk straight to God. At that family meeting, they all decided to travel to a place in Wisconsin where it’s easy to talk to God — Champion, Wisconsin. They all agreed it was not their mission to ask for healing or for more time, or for an end of the cancer in her body.  What she insisted they all pray for was for the strength and courage to follow this path God had laid out for her.

At that point, the story had my full attention.  And wouldn’t you just know it! One of those NOAA weather emergency announcements came on and stopped the interview!  Trying to figure out how I could find the story online, I felt the presents of the Teachers. Their message was clear:  It’s not the story the Mind tells, it’s the Full Knowing her Ego-Identity experienced! The TV show was back to the woman who was concluding her account with the following inFORMation — “It wasn’t that I heard it, I FELT the words’…”IT’S ALRIGHT. YOU’RE ALRIGHT.”  Back home,  you guessed it, there was no cancer, nothing in her lungs, she was in excellent health!

Now, we can attribute this to “faith,” “luck,” or “misdiagnosis.” But what I have come to know is that this is my experience of FULL KNOWING.” As the Teachers pointed out, the Emergency Broadcast was to facilitate my letting go of the story. It was never about the story or the miracle, it was about the nonverbal Feeling Flows that let us FULLY KNOW!!

So, we have Ego-Identity with its main focus on the Dimensional Reality (or one of its numerous holograms). And the Full Knower, with its focus in Spirit (God) needs no words just ride the waves of Feeling Flows. As the Grandma said, “I didn’t hear the words, I felt them and I knew I was alright.”

How can we KNOW we are focused in Spirit and not Dimensional Reality?

First of all, we will notice that we do not to hear words.  Instead we “FEEL” them. Peter told us to find a word or two that can put us into Feeling Flows. My word, for example, is PEACE. I can use it to “turn on” Feeling Flows and turn off words.

Secondly, by Sounding and Spinning and Summoning we can “fall back” into the arms of Spirit. We are by nature that Consciousness Wave of Energy getting to know itself – in Dimensional Reality, in Cosmic Awareness, and in Full Knowing. Therefore, we have the choice of living out the stories on the playground of dimensional reality or in Full Knowing. There is an intermediary playground referred to as Cosmic Awareness. It operates rather like a halfway station – half words, half feeling flows.

It’s this Cosmic Awareness playground we use to resurrect, reconnect, recombine, and reignite the whole of “Energy simply IS.” Finding focus and expression in Dimensional Reality Forms provides opportunities for “becoming.” Being freed from such things ushers in pure Feeling Flows – no prerequisites, no judgements.  For me, PEACE surrounds and embraces me. I am in the Feeling Flows of pure Spirit! Full Knowing!

So, our studies have only just begun… or, as Peter says, “There is always more!”

Andy Forsberg Tallies Third SCCT Top-10 in Three Rounds

PETERSEN MEDIA- Though Andy Forsberg and F&F Racing haven’t been up battling for wins in the first three races of the season with the SCCT, the team has been a model of consistency as they recorded their third Top-10 finish of the season in the series’ third race of the year Saturday night in Petaluma, CA.

“We have been consistent so far this season, but we are all working to get better,” Andy Forsberg said. “The guys have been working really hard on getting the car better each night so we will stick with it and try again this weekend in Placerville.”

Timing the Econo Lube-n-Tune & Brakes/Geico Local Office/PitStopUSA backed No. x1 machine in second quickest overall and fastest in his qualifying group, Andy Forsberg would line up in the second row of his heat race.

With the track hard and slick in the early goings of the night, Forsberg would score a third place finish in his heat race and make his way into the Dash where he would line up in the seventh starting position. Able to move forward, Forsberg would better his starting position for the feature event by a row as he would finish fifth.

Taking the green flag from the third row for the 35-lap feature event, Forsberg would get off to a bit of a slow start, as he would drop back in the Top-10 as he battled with the likes of Kyle Hirst, Tanner Carrick, and Shane Golobic.

Able to keep his F&F Racing entry fixed inside the Top-10 for the duration of the feature event, Forsberg would score his third SCCT Top-10 in three races this season by way of his ninth place finish.

With his finish, Forsberg and F&F Racing find themselves fifth in the early stands with 10-races still to go.

“You hate to go backwards in the feature event, but I know my guys will keep working hard to get this car back up front where it belongs,” Forsberg said. “It was a quick night, so kudos to the Petaluma staff, and thanks to everyone on this team for all of their hard work.”

F&F Racing and Andy Forsberg would like to thank Econo Lube-n-Tune and Brakes, Geico Local Office, PitStopUSA, Lucas Oil, Pacific Highway Rentals, Autism Awareness, FVP, and CRV Carbon Solutions for their support in 2018.

ON TAP: Forsberg and F&F Racing will head back to Placerville Speedway on Saturday night.

2018 BY THE NUMBERS: Starts-6, Wins-2, Top 5’s-3, Top 10’s-6.

STAY CONNECTED: Stay connected with F&F Racing by following @FNFRacingx1 on Twitter, and keep up with Andy by following him on Twitter @Aforsberg92

Essay # 1

Draft # 3

                                 Person Who Has Been Most Influential in My Life

             Motherhood is the highest gift from God. Of course, there are different circumstances such as money issues, marriage status, health condition and much more which influence a woman’s decision to have a baby or not. In spite of the fact where she is living, in a town or a small village, poor or rich, religious or not, a woman likes to have a baby in general. This baby can change your life completely in many ways. I know it, because it happened with me. My daughter’s name is Catreen; she is the one that influences my life the most. I became more understandable, careful, and a better housewife.

            I am a married woman and subconsciously I planned to have a baby in the future. However, when I saw my friend’s children it was very complicated for me. I liked small children, but when they started to cry, it irritated me a lot. Sometimes I thought that motherhood was not for me and I was a different kind of women. My friends told me that I had this feeling because I didn’t have my own children. Now, I completely agree with my friends and I have changed my mind absolutely.

            The year 2000 was  very happy for me because I won a green card and came to the U.S.A. Living in America was my dream. In my country I finished college but I couldn’t find any jobs. I lived a poor and unsuccessful life. That is why I wanted to emigrate to the U.S.A. because it is a country with opportunites. So, I started my life in this beautiful country. However, I lacked English and didn’t have an opportunity to find a job; that is why the beginning of my life in this country was not easy for me.

When I had lived three months in the U.S.A., I became pregnant and pregnancy didn’t make my husband and me happy. We lived in one bedroom with my aunt and her son, and didn’t have money to rent an apartment. We were afraid to have a baby in our circumstances. However, we decided to save our baby even though we were not ready for that step. My husband and I worked very hard. Working for me was very difficult because I had toxicosis and I felt very weak. So, I stopped work and my husband worked alone. It was difficult for us because we needed a lot of money for our baby. However, America is the best country; I gave birth to my daughter absolutely for free and it was very helpful for my family.

            My daughter was born on March 22, 2001 and it was the happiest day in my life. After the first look, I will never forget that face, and I could find her face in all the faces in the world. I can’t even explain my feeling but it was amazing and breathtaking. When I looked at my daughter, I was sure that she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was crying, but her cry didn’t make me irritated at all. I was happy to listen to this nice voice. At that time I understood that to be a mother is the biggest pleasure in my life.

            Before, my life was monotonous and careless, but my daughter changed my life completely. I had lived a very simple life because I worried only about myself. I slept as much as I liked and I never cooked; I didn’t know how to take care and worry about others.

            When my daughter appeared in my life, it was very difficult for me. I had nobody that could help and teach me how to take care of a baby. I didn’t sleep the whole time because my daughter had a stomach problem. So, I was tired, but when I saw Catreen’s smile, my weariness disappeared immediately. At that time my life was filled with many emotions and feelings. I became more patient because I enjoyed the time that I spent with my daughter. I knew that I was important and that she needed me. I changed my mind about life and I was always happy because Catreen was present in my life.

 Time was running by very fast and step-by-step we learned each other and we couldn’t separate from each other. My daughter became a part of me, and caring for her was my favorite job that brought me enjoyment.

             With caring for my daughter, I became a good housewife. Now, I understand why my mother wanted me to eat in time and eat healthy food. I learned how to cook.  Every two days I cooked soup for my daughter and when she didn’t eat, it made me very upset because I was worried about her nutrition. When my mother visited me last year, she was very surprised about my ability in the kitchen. I cooked a very nice dinner and my mother was happy because I had changed my opinion about preparing meals. At that time I knew exactly that we must eat healthy food.

            Now, my daughter is almost four years old, and I understand that I can’t stay at home with her. I understand that I have to be an educated mom and give her a good education too. I realized that without English I couldn’t read any books to my daughter and even visit a doctor. However, studying is not easy for me because I have my “princess” and I must give her more attention. But I know that what I am doing is not just for me; I am doing it for a better future for my daughter. In the future I can help her with homework. She will go to a good college to get an education and I can help her afford this college because I will make good money.

            I think that I am a blessed person because I realize myself as a woman even though I have a lot of jobs in my life. Almost every woman can give life to a baby but not every one can give a good education to her child. It is a very big and difficult job. People say, a mother is not the one who gives birth to a baby; the mother is the one who educates her child as a good person. So, I hope I will be the best mother for my Catreen because she is the sense of my life. She changes my life in a very nice way and I am happy because I know that I am important and that she needs me.

The Exemplar of Public Service: Secretary Jesse M. Robredo (May 27, 1958 - August 18, 2012)

It is a tragic and senseless death for the country. The mortal body of Jesse Manalastas Robredo, Secretary of the Interior and Local Government of the Philippines has been found about 800 meters from the shore of Masbate City at a depth of 180 feet. Who is Secretary Jesse Robredo? Why is the whole country mourning for this man?

From his DILG page, it is written that he was a multi-awarded local chief (Ramon Magsaysay Awardee for Government Service in 2000) executive of Naga City and under his leadership, Naga has transformed into the premier city of Bicol Region.  Further, he is an Edward Mason Fellow and a graduate of Masters in Public Administration at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Previous to that, he completed his Masters in Business Administration at the University of the Philippines, finishing at the top of his class as university and college scholar. He is an alumnus of Naga Parochial School for his elementary education and Ateneo De Naga for his secondary schooling. He then went to De La Salle University, for his undergraduate degrees in Industrial Management Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

But more than all that, Jesse Robredo was a dedicated, honest, humble and transformative leader. He made himself accessible 24/7 to those who needed him especially the poor and disenfranchised. He never ran out of energy or if he did, he never showed it.  His concern for others and commitment to service was unmeasurable.  When he was on his last term, he could have endorsed his wife, a lawyer to take his place and run for the mayoralty post in Naga but, he never did. He espoused meritocracy and professionalism in public service. To elucidate this further, please read the citation for the Ramon Magsaysay Award that he was conferred with in 2000.

CITATION for Jesse Robredo
Ramon Magsaysay Award Presentation Ceremonies
31 August 2000, Manila, Philippines

It is sad but true. Democratic government is not necessarily good government. Too often, elections yield power to the few, not the many. Injustices linger beneath the rhetoric of equality. Corruption and incompetence go on and on. Voters, alas, do not always choose wisely. And yet, in Asia and the world at large, much is at risk when democracy founders, because democracy is the hope of so many. Jesse Manalastas Robredo entered Philippine politics at a time when hope was high. As mayor of Naga City from 1988 to 1998 he demonstrated that democratic government can also be good government.
In the wake of his country's People Power Revolution in 1986, Jesse Robredo responded to President Corazon Aquino's call to public service. He abandoned his executive position at San Miguel Corporation to head the Bicol River Basin Development Program in Naga, his hometown. In 1988, he stood for election as mayor and won by a slim margin. He was twenty-nine.
Once the queen city of the Bicol region, Naga in 1989 was a dispirited provincial town of 120,000 souls. Traffic clogged its tawdry business district and vice syndicates operated at will. City services were fitful at best. Meanwhile, thousands of squatters filled Naga's vacant lands, despite the dearth of jobs in the city's stagnant economy. Indeed, Naga's revenues were so low that it had been downgraded officially from a first-class to a third-class city.
Robredo began with a strike against patronage. He introduced a merit-based system of hiring and promotion and reorganized city employees on the basis of aptitude and competence. He then moved against local vice lords, ridding Naga of gambling and smut. Next, he relocated the bus and jeepney terminals outside the city center, ending gridlock and spurring new enterprises at the city's edge. In partnership with business, he revitalized Naga's economy. Public revenues rose and by 1990 Naga was a first-class city again. Robredo's constituents took heart and reelected him.
Spurning bodyguards, Robredo moved freely among the people. By enlisting the support and active assistance of Naga's NGOs and citizens, he improved public services dramatically. He established day-care centers in each of Naga's twenty-seven districts and added five new high schools. He built a public hospital for low-income citizens. He set up a dependable twenty-four-hour emergency service. He constructed a network of farm-to-market roads and provided clean and reliable water systems in Naga's rural communities. He launched programs for youth, farmers, laborers, women, the elderly, and the handicapped -- drawing thousands into civic action in the process. No civic deed was too small, he told the people, including the simple act of reporting a broken street lamp. He sometimes swept the streets himself.
Consistently, Robredo prioritized the needs of the poor. Through his Kaantabay sa Kauswagan (Partners in Development) program, over forty-five hundred once-homeless families moved to home-lots of their own. They became part of Naga's revival. So did a revitalized city government. Applying techniques from business, Robredo raised performance, productivity, and morale among city employees. As a culture of excellence overtook the culture of mediocrity at City Hall, Naga's businesses doubled and local revenues rose by 573 percent.
Reelected without opposition in 1995, Robredo urged the Naga City Council to enact a unique Empowerment Ordinance. This created a People's Council to institutionalize the participation of NGOs and people's organizations in all future municipal deliberations. When obliged by law to step down after his third term, the popular Robredo made no effort to entrench his family. His advice to would-be leaders? "You have to have credibility."
In electing Jesse Robredo to receive the 2000 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Government Service, the board of trustees recognizes his giving credence to the promise of democracy by demonstrating that effective city management is compatible with yielding power to the people. (source: Rappler.com)

Last Saturday, Secretary Robledo went to Cebu to attend a function of the Philippine National Police.  Because it was a long weekend and a chance to spend more time with family, he decided to take a chartered flight straight to Naga instead of taking the regular flight back to Manila.  He never made it home.  They say that the good die young...I would rather say that the good die young and go to heaven.

Secretary Robredo is an exemplar of a new breed of politicians, the kind whose positive actions speak louder than their words. May his life of unselfish service to the people be the gold standard for all government workers, elected and appointed from hereon onward.  Rest in Peace noble man, you so deserve the title "Honorable".

The Treachery Of Emilio Aguinaldo

Today is June 12, 2012, the 114th year of Philippine Independence from Spain.  Yes, I say Spain because soon after this, the Americans took over, so technically we were not an independent nation until 1946.  This day also reminds me of the treachery of Emilio Aguinaldo.  How can I call this revolutionary leader, cited as the first Philippine president and who declared the Philippines independent in 1898, a treacherous person?

I have always said that it will be history that will decide if a past leader was good or bad. History has not been kind to Emilio Aguinaldo who has never been declared a hero of the Philippines.  Instead, he will always be better known as the man who sent the Father of the Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio to his death. The irony here is that it was Bonifacio himself who inducted Aguinaldo in 1894 into the Katipunan. The Katipunan or Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (English translation: "Highest and Most Respected Society of the Children of the Country"), was dedicated to the ouster of Spain from the Philippines and if necessary, by armed force. It's membership comprised mostly of people from the middle and lower income class and soon enough established chapters in a number of provinces across the country.  In 1896, when the Spanish executed Jose Rizal, Bonifacio and the Katipunan began its armed revolt against the Spanish Colonial government. Among the rebel groups was that of Aguinaldo in Cavite. He had better trained, better equipped troops and they were in fact successful in driving out the Spanish from Cavite, although according to Apolinario Mabini, the Cavite rebels did not really have a hard time because only a handful of Spanish soldiers were left since most were deployed to Manila in anticipation of Bonifacio's attack.  But despite these successes, all was not well between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo.  They may have shared the same dream of an independent Filipinas but they were miles apart in terms of social class, education, and temperament. Aguinaldo was an ilustrado indio while Bonifacio was just a poor and common indio. Aguinaldo and his group looked down on Bonifacio for his lack of education.  Indeed Bonifacio was not "educated" in formal schools but he was not illiterate.  He was self taught and even spoke English. In fact, Bonifacio was perhaps better educated than many of the so called ilustrados around him.  And so with this scenario, the wheels of treachery turned.  When it seemed that the revolution was taking more ground, Aguinaldo's group could not accept the possibility that an ordinary poor indio may become President once the Spaniards were defeated. Thus, in Tejeros they met on the guise of settling the conflict between the Magdalo and Magdiwang rebel factions, but actually forced an election which they rigged in favor of Aguinaldo as President.  Bonifacio got the second highest votes but even then he was not given the Vice-Presidency but relegated to a minor role as Secretary of the Interior which was further questioned by Daniel Tirona, as to his qualification of not being a lawyer. Bonifacio, humiliated and angered voided the convention in his capacity as Supremo.  And what did Emilio Aguinaldo do?  He alleges that he was not able to attend the convention because he was busy in the "field".  And in spite of Bonifacio's statement of voiding the outcome, Aguinaldo covertly took his oath as President the very next day.
"Meanwhile Bonifacio met with his remaining supporters and drew up the Acta de Tejeros (Act of Tejeros) wherein they gave their reasons for not accepting the election results. Bonifacio alleged the election was fraudulent due to cheating and accused Aguinaldo of treason due to his negotiations with the Spanish. In their memoirs Santiago Álvarez (son of Mariano) and Gregoria de Jesús both alleged that many ballots were already filled out before being distributed, and Guillermo Masangkay contended there were more ballots prepared than voters present. Álvarez writes that Bonifacio had been warned of the rigged ballots before the votes were canvassed, but he had done nothing." (retrieved from wikipedia)
Aguinaldo sent a delegation to Bonifacio to get (bully, most likely) him to cooperate but he refused. Soon after, Aguinaldo's government ordered the arrest of Bonifacio. After being charged with sedition and treason against Aguinaldo's government and conspiracy to murder Aguinaldo, Bonifacio and his brother Procopio were sentenced to death after a one-day sham trial. Is it not a sham when the entire jury was composed of Aguinaldo's men and Bonifacio was denied the privilege of confronting the state witness who the prosecutors claim had been killed in battle, but after the trial the witness was seen alive with them? Aguinaldo claims that he wanted to commute the execution order to exile, but his generals convinced him otherwise.  What baloney!

My mother met Emilio Aguinaldo in the late 40's when she was in high school during a field trip to Cavite and being young asked him outright, "Sir, what happened to Andres Bonifacio?"  Aguinaldo told her that "the answer will come out when I die."  Well, Aguinaldo has been dead for 48 years and still that question has never been answered.  There are a lot of conjectures, speculations, research, analysis but no honest answer.

Personally, I believe that politics killed Andres Bonifacio just as politics today continue to eliminate anyone who is considered or perceived as a threat to the powerful and the powers that be.  Emilio Aguinaldo may have fought hard for the independence of the Philippines but his ambition for power also made him a treacherous man.  It was not only Bonifacio that he sent to death because his men also assassinated General Antonio Luna in 1899. I also believe that Aguinaldo has heavily paid for his transgressions. The power and honor he sought has eluded him to his death. The Americans whom he trusted made a fool out of him. The Filipino people did not elect him into office (he was never elected by the people) when he overwhelmingly lost to a Spanish mestizo, Manuel L. Quezon during the 1935 Commonwealth Presidential elections. And worst, was when he was arrested briefly after World War II for collaborating with the Japanese.  There is one good thing though that happened for the fighting men of the revolution.  They were never forgotten by Aguinaldo. For them, he established the Veterans Organization which provided them pensions and land to own.

I told my mom just as I was finishing writing this, that the better question she should have asked General Aguinaldo was "if you had the chance to change history, what would you do?"  Maybe then she would have gotten an answer.

Today, May 29, 2012, the highest magistrate of the land, Chief Justice Renato C. Corona has been impeached, 44 days after his impeachment trial began.  Most of the senator judges based their guilty judgement on the fact that the Supreme Court had precedent cases of dismissal from office of government employees who did not fully disclose their assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (SALN), like that of a lowly clerk who failed to disclose the fact that she had a small store in her town market, among others.  If this clerk was dismissed for that, why should there be a different standard for a chief justice?  The message of the verdict to the Filipino people is that justice in this country is equal for all. But is it really? I am not a lawyer, so I will not even attempt to analyze this impeachment case.  My late father was a lawyer and a municipal trial court judge...it is during times like this that I wish he was still alive because I wonder now, what he would say?

Inday Varona: A personal appeal to PDI (or, When is an apology not an apology?)

This post is written by my nth degree cousin Inday Espina Varona (our common ancestor- Graciano Lopez y Jaena).  She is chairwoman of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines and editor in chief of the newsweekly Philippine Graphic. The article speaks for itself and needs no further explanation.

Dear friends from the Philippine Daily Inquirer,

If I ruffle some feathers, forgive me in advance. Take this as a letter of protest from the daughter of a woman felled by stroke and the colleague of many journalists who’ve suffered the same.

My Nanay was a beautiful woman with the classic Asian face, a perfect oval with high cheekbones and a firm chin. She was not prone to dramatics. She did not need that; her eyes – and her words – guaranteed people listened to her, even when they did not want to. She was the nurturer in the family, the doctor content to walk behind her journalist-husband. Then stroke felled Nanay and forced her into a slow, year-long recovery. There was a period of hope before a series of smaller but successive strokes weakened her to the point of no return.

So I have seen, up close and personal, the anger and frustration of a recovering stroke patient, seen the rage that erupts now and then when memories of strength and brilliance and eloquence crash against the formidable bars of a new reality. I saw Dad dive into the reversal of roles, never resenting the tantrums from a woman he had long regarded as a saint. I saw him cry silently when Nanay slept, not because he was tired — though he was — but because he saw how she suffered – even with her vaunted humility.
 And then I see your FRONT PAGE.
A series of pictures that, forgive me, seem to exist for nothing else but to make a laughing stock of Demetrio Vicente.
I have tried to look at the photos from different angles, hoping to see some significance that would make your action more understandable. I see absolutely no extenuating circumstance.
Then you give us a one-paragraph “apology”, which isn’t that at all. You apologize for hurting people’s feelings. You do not apologize for bad judgment and taste better fit for the gutter.
You conveniently forget to cite what great and noble cause prompted you to chuck out the admonition of the PDI Stylebook. That sacred document clearly states that you must weigh every controversial photo and ensure that, “the positive reasons for publishing the photos outweigh the almost certain negative reaction they will elicit from a sizeable portion of the readership.”
If you totally forgot about this document, then please  say so.
Today’s “sin” is not, in the scheme of things, equal to plunder or murder by government officials. Not by a long shot. But journalists, whom people look up to for help in parsing oft-befuddling facts of life, do have an obligation not to unnecessarily compound the chaos they feel.
Stroke, friends, is among the top killers in this country. Your newspaper has reported on this – second only to heart attack. The survivors face horrendous challenges on the road to recovery. And some never do fully recover.
Even if just on account of all our parents, kin, lovers, colleagues – and you have had one heart-wrenching case that galvanized the goodwill of this nation – and with the thought that all of us may, one day, face the same hardships visited on Mr. Vicente, please summon the grace for a genuine apology.
You see, there is no shame in admission of an error. There is only honor there. Conversely, there can be no pride in false “I Am Sorry’s”. The last thing you want is comparison to a certain woman with a neck brace.

A lot of the work we have been doing as part of the connected learning community has focused on children and young people. We design digital tools that create new ways for young people to learn. We create environments in which learning starts with a young person’s interest. And, we are starting to re-design the academic system so that “non-traditional” learning can find the recognition it deserves.

There are many good reasons why we have focused on young people. It’s easier to make a difference to someone’s life if they are just starting out, if they haven’t already fallen behind because they lack access to good schools or other opportunities. And, as everyone who works with children will confirm, it is also very rewarding. Seeing how your work makes a young person’s eyes light up is a wonderful experience. Working with adult learners on the other hand is often harder, messier, and less likely to succeed. But, there are at least two reasons why it is important.

There are too many adults with low skills in the U.S. to ignore. The PIAAC study (the PISA study’s less famous adult cousin) finds that at least 36 million U.S. Americans score in the lowest two categories of literacy and maths (PDF). Many have fallen out of the traditional academic systems. If connected learning can offer learners better ways to connect life and learning, and translate achievements outside the academic environment, into real world benefits, then this is a group that urgently needs it.

Helping adults move toward family-supporting employment, might create more opportunities for their kids to become connected learners in the future. We have made great strides designing technologies that are more accessible and appropriate for learners from diverse backgrounds. And, researchers like Ricarose Roque at the MIT Media Lab are involving families to create more supportive learning environments especially for children from low-income backgrounds. We are making progress, but on the whole, children are more likely to pick up tools like Scratch or Minecraft if they come from an opportunity-rich background. And, learning opportunities increase with income — wealthier families not only spend more money on their kids’ learning, but their kids also spend more time in places like museums and after-school programs. So why not use connected learning to increase income?

As part of a new initiative titled “Making / Learning / Work” (in collaboration with the Joyce Foundation) at the MIT Media Lab, we’ve started reaching out to adult learners, employers, training providers, and to the technology innovators of the Media Lab, to come up with some new solutions for adult learners. During our kick-off workshop, we sketched out 14 project ideas and are currently in the process of refining them in order to pick two or three for implementation. In the process, we are finding that connected learning works not just for kids, but also for adults. Interests may be different (think welding rather than wrestling), but having a clear purpose is just as crucial. And, peer support maybe more important yet. Many of the adult learners we are looking at have had unsuccessful experiences with the education system. Having a community they can turn to, connecting with peers who have struggled with similar challenges, and taking the role of mentor as well as mentee, could make all the difference between dropping out and pulling through. Finally, turning real world experiences into academic achievements is necessary in order to turn them into jobs.

Over the next 18 months, we’ll be refining our ideas, developing prototypes, and iterating on the design in close collaboration with the adult learners we are trying to support. If others in the DML Central community are interested in this area, and would like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are always interested in finding more collaborators.

Phil Trani's Restaurant

Written by Nick Diamantides

Phil Trani's restaurant is not just a great place to eat good food. It's an all inclusive social club, where on any given day you can rub elbows with sports super-stars from the past, present, and future.

"My family has been preparing food for big league football, basketball, and baseball players since the 1950s", says Trani.

Trani's father opend a restaurant in San Pedro in 1925. His four older brothers played in the Los Angeles Municipal Footbal League and became friends with members of the two local professional teams: The L.A. Dons and The L.A. Bulldogs. Later, many of those players became members of the Los Angeles Rams, but continued their friendship with the Trani family.

By the early 1950s, the Trani restaurant in San Pedro was the regular hangout for the entire Rams team and coaching staff. "Eventually we had 'Rams Nights' every Thirsday, and that lasted until the Rams left Los Angeles", Trani says. "Because so many professioanl players were coming, many USC and UCLA atheletes came too."

Over the years, Trani became very close to many UCLA, USC, and NFL football players and well-known atheletes from other sports. Joe Namath and Yogi Berra used to come to the San Pedro restaurant regularly.

When he opened the restaurant in Long Beach in 1990, the atheletes started going there almost immediately. "I was very glad that, without my even asking them, they decided to continue the tradition", he says. "We still have many famous atheletes, head coaches, and boxing promoters coming here. I could give you hundreds of names. You can see many of their autographs on the kitchen walls."

Trani's son, Phil Trani III, noted that Mark Sanchez used to work in the restaurant. Sanchez, former star quarterback for USC, was recently drafted by the New York Jets.

"Jason Compono also used to work here", the younger Trani says. "He still come in once in a while." Compono was a UCLA basketball player who is now playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The restaurant itself is characterized by unpretentious elegance. Dim lighting, soft colors, candles on every table, and easy listening recorded music give it a very relaxing atmosphere. I start my experience with a smal dinner salad, and am pleased with the crisp freshness of all the ingredients.

Next, I have the pepper steak. Every mouth-watering morsel releases tantilizing, robust flavor. The dish comes with spaghetti covered with fresh tomato and basil sauce. Crunchy steamed broccoli flavored with olive oil and salt is on the plate too. All of it is excellent.

"We have lots of Italian dishes, but this is not an Italian restaurant," Trani says. "We are California eclectic with European infusion, and we even have a Lebanese dish."

For dessert, I have a slice of lemon cake. It's sweet, slightly tart and creamy with a chewy crust -- a delightful experience. The restaurant has a full bar and a great selection of wines and beers. It has live music and dancing on weekends and acoustic music every other Wednesday.

Trani gre up in his father's restaurant business and learned it from the bottom up. To this day, he still does much of the cooking. His son cooks too, while his daughter Andrea manages the floor.

"I make my customers happy by serving them good food and training my staff to give them the best service," Trani says. "What brings me the most satisfaction is when people say, 'Hey, thanks for a great evening', as they are walking out the door."

Restaurant Hours:

  • Lunch:
      Monday – Friday: 11:30AM – 3:00PM
  • Dinner:
      Monday – Thursday: 5:30PM – 9:00PM

Epic Games Goes All-In on AWS

Creator of Fortnite, the multiplayer battle royale game that has become a global phenomenon, relies on AWS for its expansive infrastructure, unmatched reliability, and global scale

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 17, 2018-- Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an company (NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that video game and software development corporation Epic Games, creator of the blockbuster cross-platform game Fortnite, is continuing to invest in AWS as its choice in infrastructure—going all-in on the world’s leading cloud—to build new games and enhance the in-game experiences for its more than a hundred million online players around the globe. Since its inception, Fortnite has been powered by AWS, leveraging AWS’s unmatched performance and scalability to support the millions of concurrent players that engage each day. The leading game developer runs its worldwide game server fleet, backend platform systems, databases, and websites on AWS, and will leverage the breadth and depth of AWS’s services, including analytics, machine learning, and containers, to continually improve gameplay.

AWS’s fault-tolerant, highly performant infrastructure enables Epic Games to reliably support more than 125 million players worldwide who flock to Fortnite to win a Victory Royale. By using AWS, Epic Games is able to scale up to meet the demands of these players and expand its services globally with minimal effort. For example, Epic Games recently ran an event on AWS where the company invited all Fortnite players to join the game and watch a one-time global event that lasted for only several minutes. The event generated a rush of players into the game that was unprecedented for Epic Games, and the capacity that AWS provided enabled the company to run that event without any serious problems, ensuring game servers were available to all who wanted to participate. In addition, Epic Games is using AWS analytics services such as Amazon Kinesis Streams and Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) to ingest and analyze the billions of events generated by the game and social media interaction so that the company can assess design decisions, identify player sentiment, and adjust key elements of the game. Epic Games will also be able to simplify the management of its infrastructure during peak times using Amazon Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS), and is looking to leverage the Amazon ML Solutions Lab to incorporate machine learning into its games.

“We’ve been developing our services on AWS since 2012. AWS has the broadest and deepest portfolio of services that allow us to stay focused on driving innovation in our products rather than the basic infrastructure needed to get or keep a service running. Their unmatched scalability has been instrumental in keeping pace with our rocketing player populations,” said Chris Dyl, Director of Platform at Epic Games. “We decided to go all-in using AWS because they enable us to offer a quality gaming experience to millions of gamers around the world, simultaneously. We are excited to work with AWS to expand our use of analytics, machine learning, and containerized applications using Kubernetes to make our sizable infrastructure even easier to maintain.”

“Fortnite’s meteoric rise is a quintessential example of how embracing the cloud and utilizing it fully can significantly impact the trajectory of your business,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide Commercial Sales at AWS. “Throughout Fortnite’s phenomenal growth trajectory, Epic Games has relied upon AWS to provide gamers with the best gaming experience in the world, and to speed innovation by delivering new items, features, and play modes to the game on a regular basis. Together, we look forward to driving new player experiences, leveraging AWS analytics and machine learning services.”

Forces on currents in magnetic fields

The magnetic force on a current-carrying wire

A magnetic field will exert a force on a single moving charge, so it follows that it will also exert a force on a current, which is a collection of moving charges.

The force experienced by a wire of length l carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by

Again, the right-hand rule can be used to find the direction of the force. In this case, your thumb points in the direction of the current, your fingers point in the direction of B. Your palm gives the direction of F.

The force between two parallel wires

Parallel wires carrying currents will exert forces on each other. One wire sets up a magnetic field that influences the other wire, and vice versa. When the current goes the same way in the two wires, the force is attractive. When the currents go opposite ways, the force is repulsive. You should be able to confirm this by looking at the magnetic field set up by one current at the location of the other wire, and by applying the right-hand rule.

Here's the approach. In the picture above, both wires carry current in the same direction. To find the force on wire 1, look first at the magnetic field produced by the current in wire 2. Everywhere to the right of wire 2, the field due to that current is into the page. Everywhere to the left, the field is out of the page. Thus, wire 1 experiences a field that is out of the page.

Now apply the right hand rule to get the direction of the force experienced by wire 1. The current is up (that's your fingers) and the field is out of the page (curl your fingers that way). Your thumb should point right, towards wire 2. The same process can be used to figure out the force on wire 2, which points toward wire 1.

Reversing one of the currents reverses the direction of the forces.

The magnitude of the force in this situation is given by F = IlB. To get the force on wire 1, the current is the current in wire 1. The field comes from the other wire, and is proportional to the current in wire 2. In other words, both currents come into play. Using the expression for the field from a long straight wire, the force is given by:

Note that it is often the force per unit length, F / l, that is asked for rather than the force.

The torque on a current loop

A very useful effect is the torque exerted on a loop by a magnetic field, which tends to make the loop rotate. Many motors are based on this effect.

The torque on a coil with N turns of area A carrying a current I is given by:

The combination NIA is usually referred to as the magnetic moment of the coil. It is a vector normal (i.e., perpendicular) to the loop. If you curl your fingers in the direction of the current around the loop, your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic moment.

Applications of magnetic forces and fields

There are a number of good applications of the principle that a magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge. One of these is the mass spectrometer : a mass spectrometer separates charged particles (usually ions) based on their mass.

The mass spectrometer

The mass spectrometer involves three steps. First the ions are accelerated to a particular velocity; then just those ions going a particular velocity are passed through to the third and final stage where the separation based on mass takes place. It's worth looking at all three stages because they all rely on principles we've learned in this course.

Step 1 - Acceleration

In physics, we usually talk about charged particles (or ions) being accelerated through a potential difference of so many volts. What this means is that we're applying a voltage across a set of parallel plates, and then injecting the ions at negligible speed into the are between the plates near the plate that has the same sign charge as the ions. The ions will be repelled from that plate, attracted to the other one, and if we cut a hole in the second one they will emerge with a speed that depends on the voltage.

The simplest way to figure out how fast the ions are going is to analyze it in terms of energy. When the ions enter the region between the plates, the ions have negligible kinetic energy, but plenty of potential energy. If the plates have a potential difference of V, the potential energy is simply U = qV. When the ions reach the other plate, all this energy has been converted into kinetic energy, so the speed can be calculated from:

Step 2 - the velocity selector

The ions emerge from the acceleration stage with a range of speeds. To distinguish between the ions based on their masses, they must enter the mass separation stage with identical velocities. This is done using a velocity selector, which is designed to allow ions of only a particular velocity to pass through undeflected. Slower ions will generally be deflected one way, while faster ions will deflect another way. The velocity selector uses both an electric field and a magnetic field, with the fields at right angles to each other, as well as to the velocity of the incoming charges.

Let's say the ions are positively charged, and move from left to right across the page. An electric field pointing down the page will tend to deflect the ions down the page with a force of F = qE. Now, add a magnetic field pointing into the page. By the right hand rule, this gives a force of F = qvB which is directed up the page. Note that the magnetic force depends on the velocity, so there will be some particular velocity where the electric force qE and the magnetic force qvB are equal and opposite. Setting the forces equal, qE = qvB, and solving for this velocity gives v = E / B. So, a charge of velocity v = E / B will experience no net force, and will pass through the velocity selector undeflected.

Any charge moving slower than this will have the magnetic force reduced, and will bend in the direction of the electric force. A charge moving faster will have a larger magnetic force, and will bend in the direction of the magnetic force.

A velocity selector works just as well for negative charges, the only difference being that the forces are in the opposite direction to the way they are for positive charges.

Step 3 - mass separation

All these ions, with the same charge and velocity, enter the mass separation stage, which is simply a region with a uniform magnetic field at right angles to the velocity of the ions. Such a magnetic field causes the charges to follow circular paths of radius r = mv / qB. The only thing different for these particles is the mass, so the heavier ions travel in a circular path of larger radius than the lighter ones.

The particles are collected after they have traveled half a circle in the mass separator. All the particles enter the mass separator at the same point, so if a particle of mass m1 follows a circular path of radius r1, and a second mass m2 follows a circular path of radius r2, after half a circle they will be separated by the difference between the diameters of the paths after half a circle. The separation is

The Hall Effect

Another good application of the force exerted by moving charges is the Hall effect. The Hall effect is very interesting, because it is one of the few physics phenomena that tell us that current in wires is made up of negative charges. It is also a common way of measuring the strength of a magnetic field.

Start by picturing a wire of square cross-section, carrying a current out of the page. We want to figure out whether the charges flowing in that wire are positive, and out of the page, or negative, flowing in to the page. There is a uniform magnetic field pointing down the page.

First assume that the current is made up of positive charges flowing out of the page. With a magnetic field down the page, the right-hand rule indicates that these positive charges experience a force to the right. This will deflect the charges to the right, piling up positive charge on the right and leaving a deficit of positive charge (i.e., a net negative charge) on the left. This looks like a set of charged parallel plates, so an electric field pointing from right to left is set up inside the wire by these charges. The field builds up until the force experienced by the charges in this electric field is equal and opposite to the force applied on the charges by the magnetic field.

With an electric field, there is a potential difference across the wire that can be measured with a voltmeter. This is known as the Hall voltage, and in the case of the positive charges, the sign on the Hall voltage would indicate that the right side of the wire is positive.

Now, what if the charges flowing through the wire are really negative, flowing into the page? Applying the right-hand rule indicates a magnetic force pointing right. This tends to pile up negative charges on the right, resulting in a deficit of negative charge (i.e., a net positive charge) on the left. As above, an electric field is the result, but this time it points from left to right. Measuring the Hall voltage this time would indicate that the left side of the wire is negative.

So, the potential difference set up across the wire is of one sign for negative charges, and the other sign for positive charges, allowing us to distinguish between the two, and to tell that when charges flow in wires, they are negative. Note that the electric field, and the Hall voltage, increases as the magnetic field increases, which is why the Hall effect can be used to measure magnetic fields.
