UNINTENDED MOTION |
When unintended motion detection is required to control a braking device such as a Rope or Drum Brake on an existing control system, this code compliant (ASME A17.1-2004) retrofit is used as an efficient answer. Meeting all the redundancy requirements of the new code it is compatible with all control systems including microprocessors. This is accomplished by virtue of its unique design and flexibility. |
Model UMDC is only one of Electrodyn's many innovative products to help you bring your elevator system up to present code requirements. Our technical support and application team is always available and our excellent service support is just a free phone call away. |
Interfacing the Model UMDC is accomplished through a series of parallel connections to terminals and/or relays on the host controller. The controller voltage is matched simply by using the correct voltage relays since their coils are isolated from the logic relay coils. The dry output contacts used to control the braking device are also isolated and can be used by any voltage. The logic used for the Model UMDC is straight forward and simple providing a reliable detection and control system. |
Model UMDC is compatible with all elevator control systems. Through the use of interface relays the UMDC is adaptable to any braking device. |
The Model UMDC comes complete with revised wiring diagrams and "pony sheets" for a step by step guide through the installation process. We also provide free technical support.<eot>Being part of the SPARK MIT Scholarship has allowed me to attend/present at the ULearn conference 2016. Presently I am sitting in the Opening Ceremony, listening to a local Kapa Haka group. What inspires me is the confidence in which these children stand - sure of themselves within their culture Next term, at Onehunga Primary, we are focusing on 'celebrations' for our Inquiry. In my planning I already have a focus on "Me" and what is important to "Me". Watching this, I realise that I need to allow the children in my class to bring a true representative of themselves to this unit. As a teacher, it is easy to box in and prescribe what you would like the children to bring - "bring a taonga from home", where as for some children it may be a song, a dance, or an item that is important to their family outside of the pretty box that teachers ask for because it is easier to put on the wall, or take a photo of. Think BIG.<eot>'The Complete Sartana: Limited Edition' |
(Gianni Garko, George Hilton, William Berger, Klaus Kinski, et al / 5-Disc Limited Edition Blu-ray / NR / 2018 / Arrow Films UK) |
Overview: Sartana tapped into more than just his Spaghetti Western predecessors. A mysterious figure, he has a spectral quality, aided by his Count Dracula-like cloak which also nods towards comic strip figure, Mandrake the Magician; with whom he shares he shares a penchant for card tricks. |
He takes pride in his appearance unlike Clint Eastwood's dusty wanderer or Nero's mud-caked drifter. And there's also a dose of James Bond in his fondness for gadgetry and the droll sense of humor that abounds. |
Unsurprisingly, this unique figure in the genre was treated to four official follow-ups. 'The Complete Sartana' collects all five films, presented here in brand-new restorations: 'If You Meet Sartana, Pray for Your Death,' 'I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death,' 'Have a Good Funeral My Friend, Sartana Will Pay,' 'Light the Fuse, Sartana Is Coming,' and 'Sartana's Here, Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin,' in which George Hilton replaced Garko in the lead role. |
Blu-ray Verdict: We kick off with 'If You Meet Sartana, Pray for Your Death' (1968), where crooked bankers plan an insurance swindle and hire a Mexican gang to steal the bank's gold - but they also pay Lasky's gang to kill the Mexicans. |
Sartana (played superbly by John Garko) has one of the greatest entrances on screen of all the Spaghetti protagonists. When accused of looking like a scarecrow, he utters the classic line "I am your pallbearer" before gunning down all the bandits facing him. A classic moment, with the black clad Sartana setting the scene perfectly for this Gothic-tinged western. |
The story itself is a very complicated affair, and one which I'm not completely sure I followed from beginning to end, sorry. In simple terms, the story evolves around a stagecoach robbery and murder (with the culprits themselves hijacked and massacred by Lasky - played by the ever brilliant William Berger - and his gang). Enter Sartana, in the midst of further double crossing and more double crossing. And cue bloodshed aplenty! |
Next up is 'I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death' (1969) where Sartana is falsely accused of robbing a bank, and must find the real robbers and clear his name. |
Giuliano Carnimeo directs with a strong emphasis on action rather than simply trying to copy Sergio Leone. A fast moving picture with a large body-count and countless firefights, it doesn't stop to breathe even for a second! |
Some of the action scenes are particularly well done, with the battle in the church making the biggest impression. It is, by far, one of the most unique showdowns I've seen in an Italian western. |
There Carnimeo employs, complete darkness with the only visible light coming from aimless fire of dozens of guns that are trying to hit Sartana while he himself silently kills them off one by one. |
The battle is accompanied with an atmospheric musical piece by composer Vasco Mancuso that further helps in establishing a claustrophobic no escape feel of the scene. |
The comes 'Have a Good Funeral My Friend, Sartana Will Pay' (1970) where after witnessing a brutal massacre, the legendary hero Sartana is ready to do some investigating. |
Almost everyone in the tiny town of Indian Creek seems eager to buy up the property left behind by the murder victims, and one of them could well be behind the killings. The sheriff himself is not above suspicion, so Sartana must uncover the culprit all on his own. |
Gianni Garko is back as Sartana, and this time he's sporting a thick blonde Swedish- style mustache! I'm also beginning to think he's some sort of jinx, as yet again he witnesses the massacre of a bunch of miners by some bad guys and gets mixed up in some sort of land grab treachery involving crooked bank managers we've all seen a million times by now. |
But who cares? It's Sartana, and it seems the longer the series goes on, the more ridiculous (and therefore enjoyable) the films get! He's still dressing in goth fashion and he still has his four chambered Derringer, but this time round he's also got a pack of cards with sharpened edges! |
The crooked bank manager (and his many crooked employees) is pretty good too, sending wave after wave of hired killers after Sartana, only for Sartana to waste them, then pay for their funeral, only for the bad guys to use that funeral to try and kill Sartana. |
Sartana also acts like some sort of ghost in this one, seemingly teleporting anywhere he wants to, which just adds to the strangeness. Plus he can light fireworks by firing a gun at them, at night. |
That's followed by 'Light the Fuse, Sartana Is Coming' (1970), in which wily roving gunslinger Sartana arrives in a small town and tries to find a hidden fortune of half a million dollars in gold and two million dollars in counterfeit money. |
Naturally, a bunch of other treacherous folks who include conniving widow Senora Manassas, shrewd fellow gunslinger Grand Full, and the vicious and unhinged General Monk are also looking to get their greedy hands on said fortune. |
There's loads of gun-play and a fairly interesting mystery regarding who exactly has the gold. It's not quite groundbreaking cinema, but it'll do very nicely! |
Lastly, we get 'Sartana's Here, Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin' (1970) where are favorite bounty hunter and gunfighter witnesses the robbery of a shipment of gold. He finds his way into town where he meets with a lot of suspicious stares from the locals. |
He also meets with Samuel Spencer, who seems to own the company in this company town. The gold shipments are being stolen, so Spencer agrees to hire Sartana to protect the next gold shipment. |
Numerous dull-witted villains make attempts on Sartana's life, but he survives. Eventually, Sartana's nemesis Sabbath (he of the white coat and parasol) rides into town. With a showdown inevitable, Sartana and Sabbath square off to settle the score. |
George Hilton does a fine job of portraying Sartana for this final outing, more often played by Gianni Garko. Hilton's style is slightly different, but he plays the part equally as well as Garko. |
However, the real show stealer here is Charles Southwood as Sabbath, a bounty hunter who dresses in all-white, carries a white parasol, and lives by the values taught to him by his mother! |
Sartana and Sabbath are both oddballs, each in his own way, but Sabbath is so eccentric he makes Sartana look normal! One of the many amusing parts of the film is when Sabbath comes riding into town with his parasol, and one of the townsfolk sees him and says, "What's the West coming to?" |
Sartana and Sabbath play off of each other quite well, and their interactions are fun to watch, especially when they square off near the end of the film.

This year I want to… Make more blogging friends. I was kind of selfish and self absorbed this year and really only focused on my own blog and not others. It doesn’t help that I’m naturally shy and usually not the one to make the first move in a friendship. Read and review more books. This year I kind of slacked off on doing both of them.

Blog Name Change What’s up? I’m here to announce some exciting news… well, to me it’s exciting since I’m been waiting for this for foreverrrrr (er, not really, but a long time). It might not be that exciting to some of you as you guys said I shouldn’t change my blog name. I’m really sorry for doing so but I just could not stand Icy Cold Reads anymore.

The holiday season just passed. Well… at least Christmas did. Anyways, every year during this time I always get recommended a bunch of anthologies full of different holiday short stories to read. Which brings up the question: do you read anthologies? Personally, I don’t really read them. And when I do, I usually won’t read the whole collection. Why? Well, here are some of the reasons why I read anthologies and why I don’t really like to. Disjointedness In the rare times I do read […] |

I'm still confused as to how this would work. |
People compare it to Mac OS X, where you pay $35 every second year for a full license to a new OS with lots of features. |
I highly doubt that would go over well, and would probably induce a lot of fragmentation. |
The Windows 7 phone worked was by having free upgrades, which are essentially named service packs that drastically change the OS. I think I'd prefer this solution. And this way they can revamp Metro without having to release a brand new OS. |
Kernel version was my key point why it could be fake. On the other hand MS could switch to anual release of their OS so it would not be so weird to se new kernel version much more often. |
Maybe it is the same situation like with web browsers. Look at Chrome and Firefox - for every little change they change version number. |
Again, Win7 was 7600 (7601 SP1). Windows 8 is 9200. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if MS goes into five digit build number. |
Guarantee you by Windows 9, the build number will definitely be 10900 or some such... |
Yes that for a RTM. Before that we'll see the 9999 candidate as usual. |
Well its all rumors for now and MS is not talking. We really don't know how it will play out but it was Sinofky's idea to release yearly updates but he is gone now. The girls that took over worked for him, so they may be on the same page. |

you means, they probably smoke the same thing ? |
A poster on a Taiwanese forum where members identified the user as a Microsoft official leaked some news: |
He is supposedly running an alpha version of the next Windows with the version number 9622. He calls this Windows 9 though judging from the version number (currently Windows 8 is at 9200) he's actually talking about Windows Blue, which is supposed to retain the Windows 8 branding. He mentions there will be an update to the kernel which will reach version 6.3. Windows Blue is supposed to bring a few deep changes to the OS and upgrading the kernel does indeed fit the bill. |
According to him Windows 9/Blue will keep the Metro visuals and Start Screen, however, some changes are expected with users being able to customize their Start Screen more easily with more resizable tiles a la Windows Phone 8. |
Also, the Desktop will still be present but will undergo even more flattening and tweaks and that there will be updates to the taskbar too. With flatter look being applied to more parts of the UI, all aspects of Aero will be killed off completely with Windows Blue, according to the source. |
Windows Blue will not bring the Start button back to Windows 8. |
Blue will almost certainly be a low-cost update, it may even be provided free of charge as a means to stimulate upgrades for all users.<eot>Hyderabad : Hyderabad FC announces its association with Vijay Sales, India’s leading electronics retail chain, as their Associate Sponsors for the upcoming season of the Indian Super League. |
