On this third and final episode of Vibrations' look at vibration building design, host Daniel J Litwin concluded his discussion with Ahmad Bayat, P.E., President at Vibro-Acoustic Consultants (VACC), and Mike Georgalis, North American Sales Manager at the Technical Manufacturing Corporation (TMC.) This final portion of dialogue between Litwin, Bayat, and Georgalis brings together insights on vibration building challenges and how partners like TMC and VACC work in harmony to collaborate on total solutions for their clients.Georgalis said TMC works with on-site vibration data and creates solutions to lower those vibration levels to meet the customer's specs and instruments. These instruments can't operate with vibration levels above a certain threshold, so TMC needs to overcome any challenges to meet those goals. “We have a transfer function and a non-performance level,” Georgalis said. “We have the ability to increase that performance, decrease that performance as needed, but in a lot ofcases, our standard performance is enough to get those input levels to the output levels that are needed.”Any vibration cancellation plan for a building must consider an instrument's internal vibration isolation system. “If you are going to go with any vibration cancellation system, especially an active system, it's absolutely critical that system is compatible with the isolators that are inside what's built to support,” Georgalis said. “A lot of these types of instruments, the transmission electron microscopes, the Cryo TEMs, the NMRs, any kind of semiconductor type of manufacturing tools, a lot of different types of microscopes, they all have their own internal isolation systems, and the vast majority of these types of systems if you're going to put them on an active cancellation system it's absolutely critical that that active cancellation system is complementary.”

Hej och välkomna till avsnitt 35 och ämnet skam!   I dagens avsnitt reflekterar vi kring, vad skam är. Vi plockar in forskning och sätter in "skam" i olika kontexter.  Vad har vi själva för ansvar för våra skamkänslor? Hur funkar våra skamkänslor i grupper och i relationer? Vad har samhället för påverkan på våra skamkänslor? Dagens avsnitt tar sig även in i politiken och NMRs närvaro på bland annat Almedalen.  Vad har samhällets normer för påverkan på våra skamkänslor? Vi hoppas att ni får en trevlig lyssning den här inte så soliga sommardagen.  /Lotta & Sarah

Hur mycket i den gamla asatron stämmer med den nya hedendomen? Författaren Katarina Harrison Lindberg som skrivit uppslagsverket Nordisk mytologi från A till Ö, sammanfattar vad man idag vet om svenskarnas tro innan kristendomen och hur den världsbilden skiljer sig från dagens samhälle. Och vad skiljer de två stora samfunden i Sverige åt? Hör Lars Goldhammer från samfundet Forn Sed samt Peter Kåhl och Stenar Sonevang från NAS, Nordiska asasamfundet berätta om sina visioner och hur de ser på nazistiska NMRs användning av Tyr runan. Vår korrespondent Jens Möller rapporterar om det växande asasamfundet på Island där man planerar att bygga ett hedniskt tempel. Henrik Hallgren berättar om sin asatro och hur den föddes genom en kärlek till sagorna och naturen, något som han beskrivit i sin bok Jordens ande.

Techno talks about how Amby's Mate Against Mate variant acted as a bit of an inspiration for Divided States and how he used its non-occupied SCs in the variant (49 mins) Kaner asks about the prospect of Fog of War on the map (54 mins) Technostar asks Kaner about whether a new Bourse game could happen soon. Kaner runs with the idea and decides to make it happen, possibly on a War War IV sealanes map (59 mins) They get back onto Divided States and bounce around a bit on the design considerations of the map (1 hour 8 mins) Techno lets loose with his views about American state flags, a few bugs that have been picked up and his hopeful career path (1 hour 14 mins 45 secs) The guys return from the interview, but with all the editing and Amby's crap maths, we haven't worried about the timestamps for this next section. It goes about 30 mins. If you made it this far, power on! The guys discuss what they learnt from the interview. Kaner reflects that they're technologically incompetent compared to the kids these days. Amby loves the parallel between his school banning vDip and his work banning all Dip sites. Then its onto reflecting on Technostar giving his thumbs up to the map and code being available for anyone to repurpose and create new variant versions. They then discuss though the potential headache of a 1 vs 1 Divided States game with 100+ orders needed each turn The guys go onto talk about their experience to date in their Divided States games - Divided States of 'Murica and United States of Insanity before mentioning their Divided States gunboat game has just started Then Kaner and Amby become introspective about whether they are a bad influence Bourse 2018 - the great Bourse Challenge - is discussed by Kaner Venue: Buffalo Bar, Brisbane.

Kviddevitt – o så var vi utomhus för ännu en podd i Diket. Dagens ämne är Guds rike, utifrån synen på vad som är rätt och fel, svart eller vitt – dömd eller fri! Passande så råkar vi sätta oss utanför Domstolen i Jönköping. Men vi ser inte Kent Ekeroth konstigt nog. Vi halkar in […] Inlägget Diket #21 Kataloniens nya rike, NMRs tredje rike, och så Guds rike dök först upp på Diket.

PATREON: http://bit.ly/ARONFLAMDK SWISH: 0768943737 I det här avsnittet av DEKONSTRUKTIV KRITIK talar jag med Ann Heberlein, lektor i etik och numera också riksdagskandidat. Många har skrivit in och begärt att jag ska spela in ett samtal med Ann om hennes senaste bok ”Den Banala Godheten” och tack vare dig som sponsrar den här podden kunde jag åkte ner till Malmö och Lund för att inte bara intervjua Ann utan också delta i den första nordiska Cannabiskonferensen och medverka i Normaliseringspodden. https://enbraursakt.libsyn.com/ Så tack till dig som stöttar DEKONSTRUKTIV KRITIK. Det är också många som skrivit och undrat varför jag inte tydligt tagit avstånd från NMRs marsch på Yom Kippur – eller som det kallas av majoriteten svenskar – Bokmässan i Göteborg. Så om du undrar tar jag kraftigt avstånd från nazism. Jag har aldrig så mycket som övervägt medlemskap i någon nazistisk organisation och det är nog lika så bra eftersom de ofta har intagningskrav som utesluter mig på etnisk grund. Och jag tycker absolut att varje person har ett ansvar att mota sina egna galningar i grind, men jag ser inte riktigt nazisterna i NMR som MINA galningar liksom jag är rätt säker på att de inte ser mig som sin, galning. Men i dagens samtal ägnar vi oss åt Ann Heberlein och hennes bok ”Den Banala Godheten” som alltså syftar till ett citat av Hanna Arendt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem). Hanna Arendt var politisk filosof och bevakade rättegången av Eichmann åt tidningen The New Yorker när hon observerade hur banal ondskan verkade vara. I vårt land verkar det dock som att observationen går att vända på. Vi svenskar verkar uppvisa en nästan patologisk besatthet av att verka goda. I mina ögon kompensatoriskt men vi får som sagt tillfälle att återvända till det i kommande essämonologer. Ann gör i alla fall den observationen. Vad den beror på kan man givetvis kivas om. Men att den är där tycks självklart. Ann har skrivit en bok som i mångt och mycket utgår från anekdoter. Och med anekdotisk bevisföring ska man vara försiktig. Däremot är det svårt att argumentera mot massan. För det är inte bara en anekdot. Det är många. https://www.bokus.com/bok/9789198403107/den-banala-godheten-mangkultur-integration-och-svenska-varderingar/ http://www.expressen.se/kultur/bocker/konspirationsteorier-och-siffertrix-i-heberleins-bok/ http://www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/bokrecensioner/a/7r6LW/osmakligt-heberlein https://www.svd.se/kritikerna-gor-skev-lasning-av-heberleins-bok https://www.svd.se/heberlein-lar-skramma-bort-dem-som-behover-lasa AVSNITTET med flera länkar finns på http://bit.ly/DK_AnnHeberlein

Første afsnit i Antifascistisk Aktions podcastrække. God fornøjelse.Hvem er Skandinaviens største og mest militante naziorganisation? Det er Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen. Vi skal snakke om deres ageren det sidste års tid - Herunder bombeangreb, drab og demonstrationer. Du bliver også klogere på Skandinaviens nazibevægelse helt generelt og får fat i historierne om NMRs start i 90'erne og radikalisering i 00'erne. Hvis man vil bekæmpe fascismen, må man også forstå den.

In this episode the guys kick off a pub crawl and dive deep into the variants Modern Diplomacy and Sopwith, while also talking other Diplomacy stuff.Kaner talks about a recent Fog of War game he's finished (Blind War + Less Draw) that he's animated - and won!  Kaner rambles off a few players' names much to Amby's amusement.  (0 mins 57 seconds)Kaner acknowledges he had a bit of a hollow victory with many disbands much to his advantage. He discusses while under the "fog of war" he got many surprises along the way as he explored the map (3 mins 0 seconds)Modern Diplomacy 2 variantThis is one of the few variants on both webDiplomacy and vDiplomacy (5 mins 40 seconds)Kaner takes Amby off on a tangent by asking whether he's going to the face-to-face PoppyCon tournament in Melbourne, Australia in December (6 mins 40 seconds)The guys outline the gameboard and context of this variant set in 1994 created by Vincent Mous and adapted for webDiplomacy and vDiplomacy by Carey Jensen and Oli. This game has ten players and you need 33 supply centres to win. It allows building new units in any open supply centre  (8 mins 10 seconds)Kaner starts talking about a Modern game he's playing at the moment as Egypt and is getting totally destroyed in (9 mins 35 seconds)Then we get onto a Modern game recently played by Amby over at webDiplomacy where he was part of a draw - see "Real Debate for All 2" (10 mins 30 seconds)This was a public press only game which complicated communication with its subtlety. Kaner says he finds public press as a bit of a nightmare.  Amby talks a little about how with a 10 player game in public press it was a fair number of messages to read, but was manageable (11 mins)He outlines his strategy for making a strong alliance with Germany. Which wasn't very smart with Germany frequently NMRing (lingo for new players = No Moves Received). Compounding this Amby decided to not stab Germany despite the reoccurring NMRs.  (13 mins 30 seconds)As a result France and England took over a lot of Germany. Amby ended up then becoming buddies with France, who was getting carved up by England (15 mins 55 seconds)England was being played by Dagabs0 who is one of the best players over at webDiplomacy, ranked 14th from a total of over 13,000 players. Not surprisingly he was on top of his game. However Turkey was the superior player on the board for this game, forming a "tighter than a monkey's arse" alliance with Ukraine, even though later on Turkey was eating Ukraine's SC's up (16 mins 45 seconds)Amby, playing as Poland, describes how he got into a fight early on with Russia after forming an alliance with Germany. Russia got smashed quickly by Poland, Ukraine and Turkey. Amby says - after some entertaining pronunciation attempts - how he offered Murmansk to England (18 mins)Kaner asks about what Egypt was up to at the time as he was "doing a Kaner" dying. Amby explains how while Egypt was doing well at the start, however the Turkey-Ukraine alliance gave Turkey the opportunity to move south, wiping out Egypt.Italy had a really bad start with France attacking him from the game's opening, while England similarly attacked Spain and took him out quickly (19 mins)Amby explains how it probably wasn't the best move to stab England by taking Murmansk and sending a bullshit excuse to him. But despite this Dagabs0 came back with a beautifully constructed diplomatic response (20 mins 30 seconds)As a result Amby was at war with Ukraine and now England and at this time Germany started NMRing. Not looking good for Amby, so he tried making peace with Ukraine by ceasing military operations against him. But of course that didn't happen with Ukraine continuing to fight. (21 mins 15 seconds)Meanwhile with everyone fighting each other Turkey was "gobbling" up the board. This caused Amby, England and France to push Ukraine hard to break ranks with Turkey (22 mins 40 seconds)The guys get into their second - or maybe third - pronunciation fight for the evening while talking about the Russian language's use of the Cyrillic alphabet before Kaner shows his ignorance of Italian thanks to Dean Martin's classic song about a moray eel (25 mins)Back to the game, England who had been a long term adversary of Amby's and France, made peace so the three of them could contain Turkey and his Ukrainian vassal state. This quickly made an impact and Turkey put in for the draw, finishing up the game  (26 mins 15 seconds)Amby goes on to explain how the different scoring systems between vDiplomacy and webDiplomacy impact their rankings. At vDiplomacy rankings are impacted based on how you played vis-a-vis other higher ranked players eg a player ranked 100th who manages to get a player ranked 10th to draw, is going to get a greater rankings boost while the player who is 10th may slip in their rank  (27 mins 30 seconds)But at webDip it doesn't work that way with the Sum of Squares scoring system where depending on the number of supply centres you finish with and the number of supply centres in a game are squared and some magical math equation comes into play to determine your score and ranking (28 mins)The guys debate how at vDip a draw works on points in a Winner Take All versus Points Per Supply Centre (PPSC) game. Amby mentions how WTA is now the default at webDiplomacy, however he prefers PPSC as it allows for greater negotiation opportunities. Mind you throughout the whole conversation - and probably due to the drinking - the guys continually refer to PPSC as PPCS. Idiots (29 mins 15 seconds)This spurs on a discussion about the value of rankings. Kaner doesn't see their purpose, while Amby disagrees and laments on the good old days when he was once top of the vDip rankings (31 mins)Wrapping up their discussion on Modern, Amby mentions how he received an End of Game statement from Dagabs0, giving his perspective on their game:  (32 mins 30 seconds) "As I've played more Diplomacy over the years (including dabbling in the original board game 20 years ago when I was in high school ), I've come to enjoy gunboat games the most out of any set of rules. I'm not sure if I share others opinions that it's the "purest" form of the game, although I certainly understand that point of view. For me, it's the idea that there are more possible diverse outcomes in a gunboat game than in a normal messaging game. When I discovered the webDip site 3 years ago, I began playing mostly normal classic games, but I discovered that most of my games resulted in similar outcomes, with either France or Germany almost always becoming the early behemoth, and the other players having to chase him down and force him into a draw. Those 2 nations seem to have been too powerfully unbalanced in their designs; just as Egypt and Rome were too weakly unbalanced in their Ancient designs; and similarly to many nations being unbalanced both ways in the World & America variants. So although I still very much enjoy the ancient variant due to the benefit of the ultra aggressive gameplay strategy (which is my preferred style), those factors led me to the Modern variant becoming my favorite. In my opinion, the benefits of the Modern variant are that it has harnessed the happy median between certain aspects of the different variants - namely game size. 10 players (compared to the 5/7 or 17) allows for a fair amount of aggressive early gameplay, but also usually punishes players who refuse to choose any early allies. The factor of being able to build anywhere also adds a unique & fun aspect to Modern games. In the recently completed game 'Real debate for all 2', I was Britain (a much more enjoyable nation than the Classic English counterpart). This contest was a Public Messaging Only game. I've found that the gameplay using these unique messaging rules equates much more to a gunboat game than a normal messaging game, especially among more experienced players - simply because most allied agreements & moves that can be safely conveyed publicly can also (eventually) be conveyed in a gunboat. This specific game was enjoyable all the way through except for the fact that the (many) German players only had the decency to enter orders half the time. Indeed, there were 2 different CDs and over a dozen NMRs in that nation alone. Among the early alliances, the immediate French/German partnership was the main one that jumped out to me (due to the personal regional significance). As Britain, I did not feel the need to seek out any early allies, so I chose to remain a lone wolf. I was slowly conquering Spain and had a foothold in Scandinavia as well (hat tip to you for having crippled Russia). It was a nice gesture for you to originally offer me Murmansk, and I quickly accepted, since I felt it was high time to have an ally. I was very much enjoying my battle against a strong French/German wall, and that extra build was just what I felt I needed to gain an advantage against them. As the game progressed, I felt comfortable in leaving Murmansk unoccupied & moving 2 full spaces away from it. Then, just as I was about to finally break through into Germany, I was dismayed to see you retake Murmansk without alerting me. Since I was already sailing through Scandinavia en route to Germany, I decided to turn a portion of my naval strength east to mount an attack against Poland in the Baltics. We quickly formed a stalemate on that front; but by that stage in the game, there were only 4 1/2 legitimate players left: Turkey (along with his protectorate nation - Ukraine), France, and the 2 of us. Turkey was quickly passing 20 SCs, and even as I was finally breaking into France, I realized that my previous chance of beating Turkey to the solo was impossible. France pointed out that the only thing I would accomplish by continuing to wipe him out would be to give Turkey (who had taken all of Italy, and was attacking France from the southeast) an easier solo. He was in desperate straits, but also quite right, so I immediately ceased my hostility against him and you, and the 3 of us made peace to turn our combined efforts against Turkey/Ukraine. And the rest, as they say, is history. I've always personally had the habit of trying to master a certain strategy game/puzzle (and often even one specific aspect of said game) before moving onto the next game or activity. So I think that's the only reason that I haven't gotten around to exploring the vDip variants yet; but I certainly plan to in the near future." Sopwith Kaner and Amby kick off their pub crawl by moving from Brew to John Mills Himself. JMH pride themselves on their locavore menu with all drinks produced within 250 kilometers, except for their Tasmanian whiskeys (40 mins 25 seconds) After a discussion on drinks Kaner moves the conversation onto the Sopwith variant:Sopwith is a game of six players with each of the players taking on the persona of a World War 1 fighter pilot. The game is played on a hexagonal board. Grey cells represent clouds that randomly move. You can fly into them, but as you lose 1 of your 16 health points each time you fly into a cloud it's generally not recommended unless you're about to get shot. You also start the game with a full amount of ammunition (43 mins)Each turn takes place over three moves (instead of the usual 2 in Diplomacy). You begin at your airport with the taking in your first turn you.  When flying your orders can move ahead, turn left (turning your plane to point a direction), slip left (banks you left but you don't change the direction you're facing), turn right, slip right and an Immelman turn which can only be made by aces... more on this later. If you want to make sense of this there's a good graphic explaining it here (44 mins)You PM the Game Master your three moves, as does everyone else. The GM then hand adjudicates the game and updates a  visual of this in photo editing software which is then shared with players. It is not currently a game that you can play online although four games have been facilitated on vDiplomacy's Wiki (although the Wiki is not up at the moment) (45 mins 20 seconds)Kaner goes on to discuss one of the more recent games which he GMed. The players included  Guros, bozo, Sandgoose, DoubleCaps, Blockstone and raro (apologies if we got any names wrong!) To allow for messaging between players a standard Diplomacy game was created so players could communicate with each other in the usual Diplomacy style (47 mins 10 seconds)Being fighter pilots you can fire to attack other player's planes. You can fire straight, fire left and fire right. Depending on the distance between players the amount of damage varies - the closer you are the greater the damage eg if immediately adjacent one hex you do 3 damage, two hexes its only 2 damage and if three hexes away it is only 1 damage. (47 mins 45 seconds)Kaner also encouraged players to send in short sentences which Kaner would edit into the layer image. This allows for classic fighter pilot commentary when you're being followed by a fighter (48 mins 30 seconds)During the game Kaner encouraged the players to take on the persona of famous fighter pilots (51 mins 30 seconds)Players can land back on their landing strip to regain health points, but can be shot in the ground. Once you've run out of points you literally blow up in an explosion (much to Amby's amusement after a few drinks) and you're out of the game (52 mins)If a player approaches the edge of the board they need to turn. If you don't you fly off the board and die. If you NMR you just move forward three steps (53 mins 20 seconds)In each turn you can fire three times. This can be once in each of the three moves or could even be three times in just one of your three moves that turn (54 mins)Kaner describes how when he was kicking around the idea of Sopwith at vDiplomacy that Oli was open to the idea of coding it up to run on php. But then he got busy and it didn't happen (55 mins 15 seconds)Kaner discusses how he thinks it'd be a great game to have run next year for people interested (57 mins)Amby feels now that Kaner's explained it and shown it (see Youtube video below) it now makes sense to him and not just crazy shit (57 mins 30 seconds)Finally Kaner comes back to Aces - after each game you get a certain number of points. If a few of these games were played by a single player who gets high points they could become an Ace, allowing them to perform the Immelman turn, flipping around to go the opposite way  (58 mins 20 seconds)Kaner first found Sopwith back in the old Diplomacy 2000 days where it was run alongside email Diplomacy games (58 mins 50 seconds)If players are interested in a game they should PM Kaner on webDiplomacy or vDiplomacy (handle for both is kaner406) (59 mins 40 seconds)Venue: Pub crawl - Brew then John Mills Himself, Brisbane Drinks of choice:Kaner - Irish Black Lager by Black Hops Brewery from the Gold Coast, Queensland, AustraliaAmby - Girraween Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from the Granite Belt, Queensland, AustraliaDon't forget if you're enjoying the podcast please hop onto iTunes and give us a rating and a review so we can get the Diplomacy message out.
