Paul Pierce precipitated a stir along with his feedback about Dwyane Wade and the Miami Warmth legend’s household joined the pile-on because the web got here to Wade’s defence.
Pierce — who loved a close to two-decade lengthy profession within the NBA with Boston, Brooklyn, Washington and the LA Clippers — mentioned on TV yesterday he had a greater profession than Wade.
Pierce was named the Finals MVP when he gained a championship with the Celtics in 2008 however few agree he has extra to brag about than Wade.
The 37-year-old is taking part in his remaining season with Miami after spending nearly his whole 16-year NBA profession with the Warmth — save for brief spells at Chicago and Cleveland — and basketball followers are reflecting on his legacy as he prepares to stroll away.
Wade was the Finals MVP throughout Miami’s 2006 championship win and was a part of the franchise alongside LeBron James when it claimed back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013 to present the veteran three championship rings.
When quizzed on about who had the higher profession of the 2, Pierce mentioned it was “simple” to conclude he did. He mentioned he’d have gained a handful of championships had he been lucky to play alongside stars like James and Shaquille O’Neal, as Wade did.
However Wade was profitable the favored vote and his son Zaire had his father’s again.
“I don’t wanna hear it,” Zaire wrote on Instagram of Pierce’s declare. “Dude performed 19 years and gained 1 ring.
“To not point out we did knock them out of the playoffs proper?
“Oh aight. Now that’s ‘The Reality’,” Zaire added, referencing Pierce’s nickname.
There have been loads of crying face emojis sprinkled all through Zaire’s put up as he emphasised simply how laughable Pierce’s comparability was.
Wade is a 13-time NBA All-Star and averages 22 factors, 5.Four assists and 4.7 rebounds per recreation. Pierce additionally left the sport with unimaginable numbers and was held in such excessive regard by the Celtics they retired his well-known No. 34 jersey.
A real famous person, Pierce averaged 19.7 factors, 3.5 assists and 5.6 rebounds a recreation and whereas individually he was one thing particular, most imagine Wade’s further rings imply his profession has been extra profitable.
Wade chimed in on Twitter when Brooklyn Nets star Jared Dudley took his aspect, and likewise backed himself when NBA author Chris Martin Palmer laid out his and Pierce’s achievements to justify why Wade had the higher profession.
Wade’s spouse Gabrielle Union additionally shut down Pierce.
There have been lots on social media who agreed with Pierce, however many extra within the Twittersphere imagine Wade has had the higher profession.

A VISIT TO THE (FORMER) MURDER CAPITAL!
DUKE, THE BEAGLE, HAS ARRIVED IN PANAMA!
CANAL EXPANSION EXCITEMENT–AND WE WERE THERE!
Over the past 8 years, Panama has been building new locks for the Panama Canal on the Atlantic and Pacific sides. The reason for the new locks is that, since the original Canal was built & commissioned in 1914, ships have gotten much bigger and many are now too wide to go through the existing locks.
The expansion locks are, for all intents and purposes, completed and ready for the water.
BUT before the flooding, the government of Panama and the Canal Authority thought it would be a wonderful thing to offer to everyone a completely free tour! We were all over that! Frank and I drove to Panama Pacifico (on the Inter-American Highway) on Sunday morning, May 17 and parked our car. It was pouring rain, but who cares? We put up our umbrella and walked over the overpass & to a park on the other side of the highway to wait in a very, very long line of people who had the same idea we had–mainly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I have to say, everything was very orderly and we were some of the extremely few “gringos” in the line. The Panamanians are tremendously proud of their Canal–and rightfully so. This expansion project was undertaken years after the Canal was turned over to the Panamanians and they have done a great job!
After waiting in line for over an hour, we boarded one of many school buses to go to the next staging area, where there was another very long line of folks waiting to board the tour buses that took us down into the locks. Now, if it were not for our advanced age, we would have stood in that line for probably another 1 1/2 – 2 hours. But, because Panama has a kind of reverence for the “Jubilados” (see our newsletter from April), we were invited to advance to “Go” and get right on the comfortable tour bus that then took us to the locks. On the way, we were given small Panama flags and offered bottled water at no charge–by the way, everything was free for visitors!
How exciting! There we were in the bottom of these massive locks, marvelling at the massive doors for the chambers–manufactured in Italy–and tracks for operation, oohing and aahing at the system for letting the water in and out of the locks, amazed at the gigantic-ness of it! This is truly impressive! I have to say that it was surreal, standing at the bottom of what will soon be the waterway for those huge cargo ships to enter and exit the canal. It was a real party!
Sorry we can’t invite you to do the same–this was it! Although they will be flooding the chambers beginning in June, they do not expect to have commercial traffic in the new locks until June of 2016. They have to test & adjust many, many times before that happens.
But, you know, the Canal is an amazing thing. If you haven’t seen it, you should think about making a visit to Panama to see the locks in operation (the existing Miraflores locks on the Pacific side or the Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side) and perhaps take an excursion on the Canal. How exciting!
If you would like information on Panama, accommodations, tours, etc., please just send us an email at fpb@anamericaninpanama.org. We will be happy to help you!
For those of you who have been thinking about buying part of the Mango Farm but have been dragging your feet, here’s the newsflash: From June 1, there will be no more mango farm available for investors. The statement from the developers is, “We want to keep the Lady Victoria mangoes as extremely high end and exclusive when we are selling them fresh into the market.” Remember, these mangoes have the best pulp for taste, smaller seed and thicker skin and an 85% to 15% fruit to seed & pulp ratio. High quality and limited availability will produce a premium price when it comes time to sell the fruit and provide a return on investment to the owners.
Although the project is technically sold out, due to our close relationship with the developers, we can still bring reservations for purchase.
SO, this really is your last chance. If you want to get in on this at the 11th hour, call or email us as quickly as possible and we will get the reservation form to you. There is no deposit required with the reservation.
A Short Trip to Colombia for a Double Hit! Cashew!

and to the people of Israel"(Acts. 9:15).
Nirmalrani is the little plant of God Almighty sprouted in the soil of Idukki on 2ndAugust 2004 from the heart of its Mother, the Vimala Province, Kothamangalam."For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope"(Jer. 29:11). Yes, it is His plan! To make His name known to the people of High ranges and other mission centers in Africa, America and Germany, He gave birth to Nirmalrani Province, Idukki, the 20th daughter of FCC.
The diocese of Kothamangalam was divided and the Idukki diocese came into existence on 23rd January 2003. With the formation and erection of Idukki diocese, it was befitting that FCC Kothamangalam also be bifurcated. With the special amendments in the Constitution of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation approved by the Holy See, Nirmalrani Province was born on 2ndAugust 2004 with 134 professed sisters, 17 religious houses and one residence. The patroness of the newly erected province is the Queen of Portiuncula- Our Lady of Angels. Rev. Sr. Ancil was the first Provincial Superior of the newly formed Province. At present the province is blessed with 21 houses and 169 members. We entrust each and every member of this province to Our Lady of Angels, the Patroness of this Province. May the good Lord guide and protect us always.

a. Two 90mm wheels that each contain a built-in BLDC motor. The power rating for each motor is 550W and the voltage rating is 24V.
b. Approximately 24V battery in 6 series 2 parallel (6S2P) configuration.
Using the formula P = IV, the max total current usage per motor would be 22.917A.
Does the weight of the person riding the skateboard affect any of the parameters for the project?
Does an ESC that is rated for 6S(24v) and 30A suffice?
Say my project requires a maximum of 30A (an example), what's the difference between using a 40A ESC and a 100A ESC?
Not the ones you have stated. The cargo weight effects the acceleration at any fixed power setting. It also effects the maximum speed you can go uphill at any fixed power setting.
You say the maximum operating point is 24 V and 23 A, so a 24 V and 30 A rating should suffice, if the specs you quoted really are the worst case.
Say my project requires a maximum of 30A (an example), whats the difference between if i use a 40A ESC and a 100A ESC?
Each should be able to handle the problem. The higher power unit will likely be larger, heavier, more expensive, and possibly less efficient at low power levels.
Acceleration current is I=(Vavg)/Rdc (motor coils) is up to 10x max rated (e.g.10x22.9A= 229A on full start.
From Physics, F=ma, so mass certainly affects acceleration and heat loss when it starts at 5500 watts and reduces to 550w rating at some speed and load due to generated back EMF. Obviously, it cannot dissipate 5kW very long without overheating. The ESC job for a propeller is much lower mass.
Sounds big, but you must work out the weight, size and heat loss of battery capacity, ESC and motor for heat rise.
About 250% You need to control 230A worst case unless you get better specs.
This is why you should not try to learn Physics more before trying to design something.
Others with far more design skill than you in China and have had millions of skateboards recalled and lawsuits due to fires.
You've had a few cautionary warnings, but let's add another: Large lithium ion battery packs are effectively firebombs if mistreated and you must as a result treat this project with great respect. You need to make sure your battery charge and protection circuits are up to snuff and you should probably use thermal protection and possibly even heat sink your batteries. Regardless of what you build, treat it with great respect and caution.
a. 2 90mm wheels that contains a built in BLDC motor in each. The power rating for each motor is 550W and the voltage rating is 24V.
Your motors are wheel motors so they're hopefully high torque, but it wouldn't hurt to mention the kV rating.
That is a serious, high powered battery pack. You need to make every effort to ensure that it is charged properly, not overcharged or over discharged or discharged at too great a rate, that it does not overheat, is not punctured and is able to dissipate power. Making sure it is shock isolated, mechanically secure and isolated from moisture would be wise. When building it's enclosure/shroud, put thought into how the battery case will vent if it does explode.
Yeaaarp. Note that you don't necessarily have to run them at absolute full blast.
Yes, this will affect your max velocity, your velocity of maximum efficiency, and how hard the motor has to work to maintain any given velocity.
-ESCs with built-on waterblocks or heatsink and fan arrangements are readily available, and you may want to consider closed loop water cooling. Whatever your cooling arrangement, you not only want to keep ESCs cool to improve efficiency, but you should also ensure that they are not transferring their thermals to the battery pack.
Switching regulators have efficiency curves and some types have lower efficiency at low load, so depending on the regulator, using an overpowered regulator may cause your efficiency to suffer. Find efficiency curves on datasheets or manually test it. Ideally your motor's maximum efficiency range should be close to intended operating speed and the ESC should have either a flat efficiency curve, or be close to max efficiency at the drive current required to pull the skateboard under intended circumstances.
A final note about the battery packs, if you can find flat ones with just a single layer of batteries you can probably cool them more easily.

We are all born with beautiful perfect souls. Clean and perfect and pure.
The second we are born, our souls start to change. Some of us have trauma at birth. Some have childhood trauma. Some just have a series of really garbage boyfriends that scar up their souls a whole lot.
I have so many scars on my soul from my public school years. I was made fun of and bullied and had my house toilet papered multiple times. I had very few friends in my childhood and I think I got through this with a lot of sports and activities and theatre and keeping myself busy.
There’s the scar from my first boyfriend at 19. Stitched together with pregnancy and labor and Andrea Bocelli on repeat. With a fumbled attempt at breastfeeding and a beautiful baby boy.
The little mark from where my heart stopped when Wolfgang’s did when he was almost 2. From his 2 weeks in the PICU. Healed by the amazing miracle that he walked out of that hospital and never had to go back.
The one from my first serious boyfriend. The one I slowly opened over the last year of our relationship and knit back together multiple times before finally ripping it open as I walked away.
There’s a physical scar on my arm. One from a cigarette. On purpose. That wound took a lot of burn gel and a steel spine to walk out of that house of horrors.
There’s the slow-to-heal wound from my last romantic relationship. The once-gaping hole that I needed to heal on my own.
That one took 5 years to mend. It was the wound I thought would kill me. Some mornings, I woke up convinced that it had killed me.
The one I healed with roller derby and my first apartment with no roommates. The one I healed with endless late nights of Supernatural reruns and pretending like everything was fine.
The one I had to tear open again and again until it healed correctly, until I was whole again. Until I was myself, at long last.
Some mornings, I get to spread out my soul of many colors like a quilt and love the world a whole lot. I smile at everyone and everything is brighter and warmer.
Some mornings, I gather my soul of many colors around me, rubbing the scars and stitches like a worry doll, remembering where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.
Every day, I add a little more to the story of my life. Lots of color, some cookies, and a heap of hugs for my kids.

This expanded third edition was issued in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the visit of 'Abdu'l-Baha to Green Acre.
This volume tells the remarkable story of the origins and development of Green Acre Baha'i School, its founder, Sarah Farmer, and the illustrious visit of 'Abdu'l-Baha in 1912.
In South Africa, during the harsh years of Apartheid between the years of 1948 and the 1990s, racial discrimination was at its peak. Gathering together was restricted, and certain meetings between Blacks and Whites were forbidden. Under the strictures of culture and government, though, people of different races were finding ways to collaborate for social and spiritual betterment. Author and translator Robert Mazibuko, a black South African, shares his personal accounts of teaching the Bahá'í Faith in South Africa, in partnership with Lowell Johnson, a white American. In Spite of All Barriers offers insight into how people working in unity can effect great change.
Luminous Journey celebrates the centenary of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's visit-- a journey destined to change the consciousness of a nation and the world.

This 26-minute video reviews the 25-year history of the Black Men's Gathering and was produced under the auspices of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States.
The Universal House of Justice in 2012 described the Bahá'í Black Men's Gathering as "a vibrant and spirited enterprise, which has assisted contingents of African American men to deal with certain obstacles confronting them, to foster a sense of fellowship and kindle their faith and commitment to Bahá'u'lláh, and to encourage them to find an effective part to play within the recent series of Plans."
This is the second printing of the first volume in Persian, published in 1964 in Iran, of the biography and samples of the poems of the Bahá'í poets and poetesses of the first century of Bahá'í Era. This volume introduces 26 of such personages who, in responding to the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, had recited poems to celebrate the new manifestation and the new order in the life of mankind.
This volume is published by Mir'át Publications in India, in hard cover, 288 pages, including the index.

It seems that everyday we are getting a new report, rendered image, video, or a rumor about Apple’s next generation of iPhone, dubbed as iPhone 5. Apple’s products have always received such hype before release, but iPhone is everyone’s favorite subject as of now, it has become the talk of the town.
For now, we know that iPhone 5 will be having a similar form as that of iPhone 4/4S, but it will be slightly longer in size because of its larger screen. Till now we’ve seen plenty of mockups of this device featuring an aluminum unibody, smaller dock port rather than the 30-pin connector, and a repositioned headphone jack which is now placed at the bottom of the device. The Facetime camera is also centered to provide a more aesthetic appeal to the device.
Mock-ups can be boring to look at, but when we look at a more realistic look of this device, which shows how the device appears in the real world, then this ignites our interest. Simply put, this is how the new iPhone will look like in your hands, thanks to NowhereElse, a French Apple blog.
These are renderings based on rumors, which depict how this device might look like in your hand.
The black one looks classy, but the white one also looks good. The aluminum and chrome unibody gives this phone a more attractive look, but opinions may differ about the back of the iPhone.
There’s not many expected “significant changes” that we’ve expected from Apple. It looks like more similar to the current generation, but let’s see what Apple holds in store for us. We’ll wait for the official announcement for more comments.
So which one is your favorite color, is it the black one, or the white one?

The Kengard Well draws groundwater from a deep aquifer beneath the City of Merritt. Previously, the City relied on four wells for its potable water, all of which draw water from the same shallow aquifer. The addition of the new deep well provides redundancy in the event that the shallow aquifer becomes unreliable or contaminated.
KWL completed the detailed design and construction management for the new production well, including obtaining Interior Health Authority approvals.
Bringing the well online included the construction of 130 m of new watermain (for chlorine contact time) and 200 m of sanitary sewer, installation of a 100-HP submersible pump, and construction of the well pump building. The new building consists of a concrete foundation and wood frame structure, and includes a separate hypochlorite treatment room. The well pump is controlled based on a water level signal from the Grimmett Reservoir, and the station is monitored by the City's SCADA system.
The building includes space for future UV equipment and room to change the disinfection method from hypochlorite solution to on-site generation if required. The site layout also allows for the construction of a second building for filtration equipment.
As Kengard is the first of Merritt's wells that draws from the deeper aquifer, a nearby observation well is being closely monitored to assess the reaction of the aquifer to the new production well. Depending on the state of the aquifer and the City of Merritt's needs, the current 50 L/s pumping capacity of the well can be increased through installation of a larger pump. The new watermains have been sized for the potentially larger future capacity.

All Spectrum Management and Telecommunications publications are available on the following website: http://ic.gc.ca/spectrum.
2. Part A provides background information on the development of the conditions of licence and additional guidance for Licensees, while Part B contains the conditions of licence.
3. This revision has incorporated pertinent information from the Guidelines for Compliance with the Conditions of Licence Relating to Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements (GL-06) and Responses to Questions for Clarification on the AWS Policy and Licensing Frameworks . GL-06 has been rescinded with the publication of this revised CPC.
4. It should be noted that anyone proposing to install an antenna system continues to be required to follow CPC-2-0-03, Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems .Footnote 2 Licensees are also required to follow the amended conditions of licence in this CPC.
5. Should Licensees require additional clarification or information on these conditions of licence, they should contact Industry Canada at ic.rts-ipp.ic@canada.ca.
6. The Minister of Industry, through the Department of Industry Act , the Radiocommunication Act and the Radiocommunication Regulations , with due regard to the objectives of the Telecommunications Act , is responsible for spectrum management in Canada. As such, the Minister is responsible for developing policies and processes for the spectrum resource and ensuring effective management of the radio frequency spectrum resource. Subsection 5(1) of the Radiocommunication Act gives the Minister of Industry the power to fix and amend the terms and conditions of spectrum licences. The Minister may suspend or revoke a radio authorization if the Licensees have contravened the Radiocommunication Act , the Radiocommunication Regulations or the terms or conditions of the radio authorizations.
7. In DGRB-010-07,Footnote 3 published on November 28, 2007, Industry Canada initiated a public consultation on proposed conditions of licence for mandatory roaming and antenna tower and site sharing. In November 2008, Industry Canada released CPC-2-0-17,Footnote 4 which adopted the licence conditions as set out in DGRB 002-08,Footnote 5 Conditions of Licence for Mandatory Roaming and Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements .
8. In February 2009, comments were soughtFootnote 6 on issues that arose during the initial tower and site sharing negotiations. In April 2009, Industry Canada issued GL-06,Footnote 7 Guidelines for Compliance with the Conditions of Licence Relating to Antenna Tower and Site Sharing and to Prohibit Exclusive Site Arrangements , which clarified some of the phrases used in the conditions of licence.
10. Revisions to the framework were subsequently announced in March 2013 (DGSO-001-13). Those revisions, along with the incorporation of text from GL-06 and from the Responses to Questions for Clarification on the AWS Policy and Licensing Frameworks , are reflected in Issue 2 of this CPC. CPC-2-0-18, Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures , was also revised (Issue 2). GL-06 has been rescinded with the publication of Issue 2 of this CPC.
11. The mandatory tower and site sharing conditions of licence apply to all Licensees in all bands who are telecommunications common carriers as defined in the Telecommunications Act .
12. The antenna tower and site sharing process will have the characteristics outlined below.
13. After having identified a potential site for sharing, the Party that wishes to share (Requesting Operator) may contact the site owner/operator who is subject to the conditions of licence (Responding Licensee) in order to obtain a preliminary information package (PIP) for a technical analysis of the site. Each request for a PIP must be assigned a unique identification number by the Requesting Operator which must be used by both parties as a common sharing request identifier.
14. When asked, the Responding Licensee must provide the PIP (which includes available technical data on the site) within two weeks of receiving a complete PIP request. The conditions of licence in Part B, Section 1.3 of this CPC outline the minimum information required both in the PIP request and in the subsequent response.
15. Both parties should work together to exchange information expeditiously. The Requesting Operator should consider prioritizing sites when submitting a large number of requests.
16. The Responding Licensee is responsible for coordinating and granting access to the site on request, as set out in the conditions of licence. Generally speaking, this access should be granted within one week of the request. Extenuating circumstances, such as access to a remote location or adverse weather conditions, could justify a short delay. Should the site be leased, the Responding Licensee must provide the Requesting Operator with the landlord’s contact information as part of the PIP. Where an exclusivity clause is in place, the Licensee must provide immediate notification to the landlord demonstrating that it is prepared to waive the exclusivity clause in its agreement.
17. The Requesting Operator is responsible for carrying out its own technical analysis.
18. After reviewing and analyzing the PIP, the Requesting Operator may then submit a Proposal to Share to the Responding Licensee, including identification of any technical requirements and/or modifications that the Requesting Operator anticipates may be required to permit sharing. The time frames for this step of the process commence on the date that the Responding Licensee receives the Proposal to Share.
19. The Responding Licensee is responsible for conducting its own technical analysis, if required, and shall respond within 30 days with a draft Offer to Share (Offer) in each case where sharing is technically feasible. Note that Industry Canada expects that sharing will be technically feasible in the vast majority of cases.
20. If after 60 days from the date that the Responding Licensee receives the Proposal to Share, the Responding Licensee and the Requesting Operator have not entered into a Site‑Sharing Agreement or have not agreed to any interim arrangement, the Licensee must then submit or agree to submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with CPC-2-0-18, Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures , as amended from time to time.
21. If within 60 days, the Responding Licensee has not received a response from the Requesting Operator to an Offer to Share, the Licensee may treat the Offer to Share as withdrawn with no further obligations. A response may simply be an acknowledgement by the Requesting Operator that additional time is required to consider the Offer.
22. The operation of a Requesting Operator’s radiocommunication system relies on more than just mechanical access to an antenna-supporting structure. In order to be considered to be negotiating in good faith, Responding Licensees must offer access to ancillary equipment and services at commercial rates that are reasonably comparable to rates currently charged to others for similar access. Such access and services shall therefore be part of the preliminary information exchange, the negotiations and the eventual arbitration, if required.
23. Where the Licensee is party to an agreement that includes a provision excluding other operators from the use of a Site, then, in order to facilitate the sharing of Sites, the Licensee must consent to waiving that portion of the agreement to facilitate a Request to Share. As applicable, the Licensee must consent to or, in a commercially reasonable manner, seek the consent of third parties to the assignment, sublease or other rights of access to Sites, pursuant to any agreement or arrangement to which the Licensee is a party. In addition, the Licensee must not enter into or renew agreements that exclude other operators from using a Site. Licence conditions do not apply to independent landlords. However, exclusivity provisions may be waived by either party to a lease, including either or both the Licensee and an independent landlord.
24. Mandatory tower sharing does not displace the Responding Licensee’s needs in favour of the Requesting Operator’s, but requires that both parties be open to negotiating fair commercial terms for access; neither does the licence condition force the Responding Licensee to replace or rebuild a tower at its own expense.
25. Industry Canada expects both near-term and longer term future use requirements to be the subject of good faith negotiations. Unless a space on an antenna tower is properly identified as reserved for "imminent future use" or "reserved for a third party" in accordance with this CPC, that space must be deemed to be available for negotiation of a tower sharing agreement.
26. Imminent Future Use: Equipment installations specifically identified in the Responding Licensee’s plans and to be installed within the 18 months immediately following the submission of a PIP request may be identified as "imminent future use" on the tower profile portion of the PIP. Plans for use of this space are not expected to be disrupted for the purposes of this condition of licence unless both parties agree to negotiate access to the space. As imminent use forms a portion of near term future needs, plans for imminent future use must be reasonable and well‑documented.
27. Where an assessment of non-compliance is being made with respect to this requirement, the Licensee may be required to provide evidence (such as installation agreements, appropriate authorizations or other relevant documentation) to Industry Canada demonstrating that the space will be put into service within 18 months.
28. For every PIP that is sent to a Requesting Operator that includes a reservation for imminent future use, the Responding Licensee must also provide a copy of the PIP to Industry Canada at the following email: ic.rts-ipp.ic@canada.ca. This requirement also applies to any subsequent modifications made during the negotiation.
29. Reservations Beyond 18 Months: Where the tower owner is reserving space because there is a plan to install equipment on the tower beyond the next 18 months, that space may be identified as "future use" in the PIP and dealt with during the negotiation process. Reasonable and well-documented near-term needs beyond 18 months are legitimate considerations in the negotiation process. Longer term future needs alone will not be considered a reason not to share.
30. Reservations for a Third Party: Any space reserved on a tower identified for future use by a third party (where a contract is in place for a specific location on a tower) should be identified as part of the PIP. In this situation, as is the case with the Licensee’s future plans, a third party’s imminent installation is not expected to be disrupted, unless all the parties reach an agreement. All other third party future plans (near‑term and longer term) should be open to three-way negotiations.
31. Licensees must submit regular reports to Industry Canada, upon request, on the status of antenna tower and site sharing negotiations and on the number of sites and degree of sharing in their network. These regular reports will initially be required on a semi‑annual basis detailing the preceding six‑month period. Licensees must submit these reports to Industry Canada using a standardized template, which can be obtained from Industry Canada’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications website.Footnote 10 Reports will not be required if there has been no change to the requested data since the previous reporting period. Industry Canada will notify licensees through its website in advance of any changes to these reporting requirements. The reports must be sent via email to ic.rts-ipp.ic@canada.ca.
32. Since most of the information included in the response to a PIP request is in the public domain and since only basic technical information is being shared (including information regarding imminent future use), Industry Canada does not believe that a non‑disclosure agreement (NDA) is required prior to the release of the PIP and would therefore not be a valid reason to delay providing the PIP.
33. If parties agree to sign an NDA during their negotiations, it should be appropriate and generic in nature, should not include provisions that are unique to a single operator or group and should not prohibit negotiation with other parties nor prohibit communication with Industry Canada.
34. The conditions of licence apply to all Licensees in the Cellular, Personal Communications Services (PCS), Advanced Wireless Services (AWS), Mobile Broadband Service (MBS) and Broadband Radio Service (BRS) bands.
35. Roaming enables a subscriber (a Roamer) already served by one carrier’s network (the Home Network) to originate or terminate voice or data traffic on another carrier’s network (the Host Network). Accordingly, a subscriber cannot roam unless he or she is already served on another radio access network. A carrier must therefore be offering service on its own network before its subscribers may benefit from roaming on another network, thus it does not include resale.
36. Roaming must be offered where technically feasible. Given the wide range of Roaming Agreements currently in place, both domestically and internationally, across networks operating with a range of technologies, Industry Canada does not anticipate that technical feasibility will be an impediment to roaming. The basic technical requirement for roaming is that the subscriber has a device technically capable of accessing the Host Network.
37. As a general principle, roaming should provide a Roamer with the ability to access voice and data services offered by the Roamer’s Home Network at a level of quality comparable to that offered for similar services by the Host Network carrier to its own subscribers. For further clarity, the policy does not require a Host Network carrier to provide a Roamer with a service that the Host Network operator does not itself provide to its own subscribers, nor to provide a Roamer with a service which the Roamer’s Home Network operator does not itself provide.
38. Seamless communications hand‑off between Home and Host Networks (i.e. which ensures no interruption of communications in progress) is not mandated; however, this service may be the subject of negotiations.
39. Roaming should provide for the origination and termination of calls on the Host Network automatically, without the need for any special facilitating action by the Roamer.
40. Nothing in the policy, however, is intended to limit the ability of carriers to conclude commercial agreements that are not mandated by this policy.
41. Requests for mandatory roaming on Cellular, PCS, AWS, MBS and BRS Licensees’ networks will follow the process outlined below.
42. The Party that wishes to roam (Requesting Operator) may contact the Cellular, PCS, AWS, MBS or BRS Licensee who is subject to conditions of licence for mandatory roaming (Responding Licensee) to obtain a preliminary information package (PIP) in order to prepare a proposal to enter into a Roaming Agreement (Roaming Proposal). Upon request, the Responding Licensee must provide available technical information, such as technical data, engineering information, network requirements and other information relevant to formulating a Roaming Proposal within two weeks of receiving the request.
43. After reviewing and analyzing the PIP, the Requesting Operator may then submit a Roaming Proposal to the Responding Licensee.
44. The Responding Licensee must respond to a Roaming Proposal from a Requesting Operator within 30 days with a response in writing and an offer to enter into a Roaming Agreement. In the event that the Licensee believes that the Roaming Proposal is not technically feasible, the Licensee must provide the Requesting Operator with a response detailing the reasons why it considers roaming is not feasible (accompanied by any applicable technical information) and submit that evidence to Industry Canada if the Requesting Operator requests that Industry Canada review the reasons provided by the Licensee in accordance with this condition.
45. If after 60 days from the date that the Responding Licensee receives the Roaming Proposal, the Responding Licensee and the Requesting Operator have not entered into a Roaming Agreement or have not agreed to any interim arrangement, the Licensee must submit or agree to submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with CPC-2-0-18, Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures , as amended from time to time.
46. Costs incurred at each step of the roaming and tower sharing processes will generally be borne by the party carrying out the step. For instance, the cost of technical analyses in the preliminary information stage or carried out in order to prepare or respond to a Proposal to Share or a Roaming Proposal will be borne by the parties conducting the analyses. The Requesting Operator would not have to compensate the Responding Licensee for costs associated with providing the existing technical information about the site, including the Responding Licensee’s review of such requests and technical analysis. Furthermore, the Requesting Operator would not have to compensate the Responding Licensee for costs associated with providing existing technical information related to the mandatory roaming arrangement requested.
47. Although it is anticipated that, in general, costs associated with the arbitration process will be apportioned equally between the party requesting sharing and the responding party, the Arbitration Rules allow the Arbitrator the discretion to allocate costs.
48. Generally, costs associated with any public consultation or land‑use consultation will be the responsibility of the Requesting Operator.
49. Responding Licensees must respond to requests for information and Proposals to Share or Roaming Proposals received from a provisional licence winner prior to licence issuance.
50. If a Responding Licensee, after conducting its technical assessment, considers a Roaming Proposal or a Proposal to Share not to be technically feasible, then the Responding Licensee must inform the Requesting Operator of this as soon as possible and provide the appropriate technical rationale. If the Requesting Operator disagrees with this assessment, it may ask Industry Canada to render a decision on technical feasibility.
51. Industry Canada expects that roaming and tower sharing will be technically feasible in the vast majority of cases. Where a disagreement exists over other issues, it can be dealt with either through commercial negotiations or through the binding arbitration process, if necessary.
52. Industry Canada will assess issues relating to technical feasibility. Unless otherwise directed, a technical feasibility review will not alter the timelines to complete negotiations or proceed to arbitration, if required.
53. Parties can also contact Industry Canada at any time during negotiations where clarification is required with respect to the application or interpretation of the conditions of licence. All issues relating to commercial terms (such as rates or terms contained in agreements) are to be dealt with through negotiation with recourse to arbitration.
55. If the parties cannot complete negotiations and come to an agreement, they may choose any method of dispute resolution. In lieu of an agreement on dispute resolution, the licensees must agree to use the mandatory arbitration procedures as specified in CPC-2-0-18, Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures .
56. The Minister of Industry has the authority under Subsection 5(2) of the Radiocommunication Act to suspend or revoke a radio authorization where the Licensee has contravened the terms or conditions of that authorization. Where a Licensee is found to be in non-compliance with these conditions of licence, Industry Canada may consider the suspension or revocation, in whole or in part, of the Licensee's radio and/or spectrum licences associated with the site where the breach of licence occurred. In addition, the Licensee may be subject to prosecution if it is operating equipment without complying with the terms of its authorization, including these conditions of licence.
57. The revised conditions of licence have been developed to further facilitate roaming and tower sharing agreements in order to advance the policy objectives of supporting competition, encouraging investment and reducing tower proliferation. Should these conditions of licence prove to be insufficient in facilitating these goals, the Minister of Industry, in accordance with Paragraph 5(1)(b) of the Radiocommunication Act , may consider further amending the terms and conditions of the licences or seeking other policy and/or legislative solutions.
58. Many spectrum licences have been issued with a high expectation of renewal; however, that expectation only applies where the licence conditions are being met. As a result, a renewal may be denied or a licence not fully renewed where there is a breach of any of the conditions of licence. This has been clearly articulated in various policy and licensing documents and has remained a consistent criterion for the renewal of all long‑term licences.
59. Furthermore, to the extent that non‑compliance impairs or frustrates the policy objectives for which these licence conditions were established, consideration may be given in future licensing processes to more prescriptive and/or restrictive policy measures. Such policy changes could affect Industry Canada’s future plans for spectrum use, licensing and renewal.
60. In addition to the regular reporting requirements specified in the conditions of licence, licensees are required to provide Industry Canada with information relating to roaming and tower sharing activities as per this CPC, upon request. Where the response includes information that the licensee deems to be confidential or commercially sensitive in nature, the information should be labelled as such. Industry Canada will treat all information received in accordance with the Access to Information Act .
The mandatory tower and site sharing conditions of licence apply to all Licensees in all bands who are telecommunications common carriers as defined in the Telecommunications Act .
– the Licensee must not enter into or renew agreements that exclude other operators from using a Site.
The Licensee must share its sites containing antenna-supporting structures, where technically feasible, when requested to do so by any other telecommunications common carrier as defined in the Telecommunications Act or by a provisional licence winner who will be operating as a telecommunications common carrier in accordance with a licensing process (A Requesting Operator).
– Upon reasonable notice by the Requesting Operator, the Licensee shall facilitate accessFootnote 14 to the Site so that a formal Proposal to Share can be formulated.
In the event that the Licensee believes that the Proposal to Share is not technically feasible, the Licensee must provide the Requesting Operator with a response detailing the reasons why it considers that site sharing is not feasible (accompanied by any applicable technical information) and submit that evidence to Industry Canada if the Requesting Operator requests that Industry Canada reviews the reasons provided by the Licensee in accordance with this condition.
Notwithstanding the Licensee’s initial response, if Industry Canada reviews the matter of technical feasibility under Section 4(b) above and finds that sharing is technically feasible, then the Licensee will respond to the Proposal to Share with an offer to enter into a Site-Sharing Agreement in a timely manner.
Licensees must negotiate with a Requesting Operator in good faith, with a view to concluding a Site Sharing Agreement in a timely manner. In order to be considered as negotiating in good faith, Responding Licensees must offer access to ancillary equipment and services at commercial rates that are reasonably comparable to rates currently charged to others for similar access.
If after 60 days from the date that the Licensee receives a Proposal to Share, the Licensee and the Requesting Operator have not entered into a Site-Sharing Agreement or have not agreed to any interim arrangement, the Licensee must submit or agree to submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures ,Footnote 15 as amended from time to time. The Licensee shall agree that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have all necessary powers to determine all of the questions in dispute (including those relating to determining the appropriate terms of the Site Sharing Agreement and those relating to procedural matters under the arbitration) and that any arbitral award or results under this condition of licence shall be final and binding with no right of appeal, subject to applicable provincial or territorial legislation. The Licensee must participate fully in such arbitration and follow all directions of the Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures and any arbitration procedures established by the Arbitral Tribunal.
If within 60 days, the Licensee has not received a response from the Requesting Operator to an Offer to Share, the Licensee may treat the Offer to Share as withdrawn with no further obligations.
The Licensee must submit regular reports to Industry Canada, upon request, on the status of antenna tower and site sharing negotiations and on the number of sites and degree of sharing in their network. Reports will initially be required on a semi‑annual basis detailing the preceding six-month period. Licensees must submit reports to Industry Canada using a standardized template, available on Industry Canada’s Spectrum Management and Telecommunications website.Footnote 16 Reports will not be required if there has been no change to the requested data since the previous reporting period. The reports must be sent via email to rts-ipp@ic.gc.ca.
The conditions of licence described below apply to all Licensees in the Cellular, Personal Communications Services (PCS), Advanced Wireless Services (AWS), Mobile Broadband Service (MBS) and Broadband Radio Service (BRS) bands.
The Licensee must provide automatic digital roaming (roaming) by way of a Roaming Agreement(s) on all of its networks in the Cellular, PCS, AWS, MBS and BRS bands in all of its licensed service areas to any other Licensee in these bands, including a provisional licence winner in accordance with a licensing process in these bands (A Requesting Operator).
Roaming should function without the need for any special facilitating action by the customer.
In order to satisfy the condition of roaming in accordance with this licence, the Licensee must respond to a request for information by a Requesting Operator within two weeks of receiving the request by providing a preliminary information package (PIP) to the Requesting Operator that includes preliminary technical information, such as technical data, engineering information, network requirements and other information relevant to formulating a Roaming Proposal.
In the event that the Licensee believes that the Roaming Proposal is not technically feasible, the Licensee must provide the Requesting Operator with a response detailing the reasons why it considers that roaming is not feasible (accompanied by any applicable technical information) and submit that evidence to Industry Canada if the Requesting Operator requests that Industry Canada review the reasons provided by the Licensee, in accordance with this condition.
Notwithstanding the Licensee’s initial response, if Industry Canada reviews the matter of technical feasibility under Section 4(b) above and finds that roaming is technically feasible, then the Licensee will respond to the Roaming Proposal with an offer to enter into a Roaming Agreement.
Licensees must negotiate with a Requesting Operator in good faith, with a view to concluding a Roaming Agreement in a timely manner.
If after 60 days from the date that the Licensee receives the Roaming Proposal, the Licensee and the Requesting Operator have not entered into a Roaming Agreement or have not agreed to any interim arrangement, the Licensee must submit or agree to submit the matter to arbitration, in accordance with Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures ,Footnote 17 as amended from time to time. The Licensee shall agree that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have all necessary powers to determine all of the questions in dispute (including those relating to determining the appropriate terms of the Roaming Agreement and those relating to procedural matters under the arbitration) and that any arbitral award or results under this condition of licence shall be final and binding with no right of appeal, subject to applicable provincial or territorial legislation. The Licensee must participate fully in such an arbitration and follow all directions of the Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with Industry Canada’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures and any arbitration procedures established by the Arbitral Tribunal.

Vintage Computer Forum > Genres > Commodore > Vic-20 Carts on a C64?
View Full Version : Vic-20 Carts on a C64?
We all know that the C64 is basically an extended version of the Vic-20. This said, it's backwards compatible as far as I know. Both machines used 1541 drives, so they should be compatible as far as disk software goes, and tape too. However, the cartridge format is physically different for a Vic-20 and a C64. I don't have a Vic-20 or any carts, but if there is an adapter to let the C64 run them I might look into some carts.
Yes and no. The two machines have about 99.9% similar Basics and kernals. Most peripherals can be shared, but that ends the compatibility. The C64 uses upgraded video and sound chips that are NOT backwards compatible with the VIC-20, not even so you easily can emulate it. The C64 also uses a partly different memory map.
That said, a small amount of Basic software which doesn't use more than ~20 column wide rows and does not use any custom graphics, sprites, sounds or the eight extra colours the C64 has, can be compatible between the two machines. Quite immediately you see the level of compatibility is remarkably low. If you get into machine code, things can get even worse even if the two use the same CPU and when it comes to Kernal calls they work much the same.
Now, as a matter of fact Jim Brain is developing a cartridge device he calls Masquerade, modulo spelling. It will allow you to physically insert a C64 cartridge into a VIC-20, through remapping the I/O lines in the cartridge port. It will provide the ability to use C64 cartridge boards with EPROMs holding VIC-20 software. It will also map I/O blocks so a few custom hardware cartridges like Ethernet cartridges for the C64 can be connected to the VIC if someone writes the driver software.
You are asking for the opposite, to plug in VIC cartridges on the C64. I don't know quite why, since the C64 itself has a library of about 400 different cartridges for you to collect. That is roughly twice as many as for the VIC-20. Most of them may be rarely seen, but if you keep looking you will probably find a bunch of genuine C64 cartridge games. Not to mention utility and special hardware cartridges. People today also produce C64 cartridge boards in relatively big quantities for those who like to make their own cartridges. I'm not sure if this is something you would like to investigate. Even in moderate quantities those boards can get a bit expensive to purchase.
I have about 10 different cartridges for my C64 (a few of which are games), I just like to be able to access and run any data and games that I find. If I were to come across a Vic-20 cart on eBay one day, or a lot of them, or in person, I'd like to be able to buy and use it - and I don't have a Vic-20. I realize that it'd be nearly impossible to get C64 stuff running on a VIC, but I thought that the "VIC" chip in the C64 emulated every bit of the VIC-20's graphics functionality and such, except the processor, which was the same in a C64 but faster - perhaps I'm wrong there.
Actually the CPU runs at almost the same speed, at most only a few hundreds of a megahertz difference. The real difference between the CPU in a VIC-20 and C64 is the 6510 in the C64 has a built-in 8-bit I/O register which allows it to overlay ROM and I/O chips over RAM. By changing the I/O register, you can access RAM chips underneath the ROM. This was a "killer app" that allowed the C64 to actually come with 64K of RAM although most people had a hard time believing it did.
If you come across a pile of cheap VIC-20 cartridges, I strongly advice you to go looking for a cheap VIC-20 too. It is a great computer on its own, so no reason to try various (non-existing) adapters and incapable emulators.
Anywho it looks like the NTSC versions of the VIC-20 and the C64 both run at 1.02mhz so they are identical CPU-wise.
While I get the idea that you apparently frown on the idea of running VIC-20 software on a C64, I don't understand the logic for why you don't think it will work still. The CPUs are identical, the C64 is more powerful, it's like saying "you can't run a DX9 game on a DX10 card, go get a DX9 card..."
Is it that you don't think the VIC software will run through the more complex memory system of the C64?
Yes, as you may have observed English is my secondary language so on occasion there may be a missing letter or incorrect spelling. Sorry for that.
You could try the VICE emulator to emulate both a VIC-20 and a C64. Immediately you will observe the VIC has almost twice as wide characters. As a matter of fact the VIC defaults to 22 columns x 23 rows while the C64 has 40 columns x 25 rows. If you can live with the fact that some games would run in a "window" of the screen, you can fit those 22x23 inside 40x25.
For programs written in Basic that don't rely on joystick input, doesn't change any colours, plays with sound and only uses ROM graphics, VIC games will work on a C64. However the origin of this discussion was whether you could play cartridges. Almost all cartridges use one, several or all of these features.
There was a quite accomplished VIC simulator for the C64 published in the COMPUTE! magazine back in the 1980's. If I recall correctly it simulates custom graphics, some of the sound, joystick input and colours modes as far as it can. There actually are some colours and combinations on the VIC-20 that the C64 can not reproduce at all. However you would have to try each program to determine if and how well it works.
I didn't think for a moment that English was a second language, though your location now makes that obvious.
Personally the only VIC game I've ever seen was in a review online, and it was text-based with no sound - I'm sure that this particular one would work on a C64 just as easily. With no experience with VIC software or hardware, it was my assumption that most VIC games would also be text-based (or very simple graphics) - an assumption that is apparently incorrect.
Anders is actually understating the differences; they look similar, use the same serial I/O and corresponding peripherals and the BASIC interpreters are similar, but once you get to the hardware level (and most cartridges do) they are substantially different and it's almost certain that you'd have to make some changes even for a text-only cart, which is of course not so easy.
As to Vics being text-only, I suggest you run a few good programs in Vice to get an idea of what they can do.
Yes, what Mike and Anders say above.
The VIC-20 and the C-64 have enough hardware differences to stop machine code software for one translating to the other.
There were a few text-only games for the Vic-20 released (the Scott Adams Adventure series comes to mind) but you'll find most VIC-20 games make use fo the colour, sound and graphics. These were the selling features of the machine when it first appeared in '81 after all.
Let's put it this way: The two computers are similar enough for a skilled programmer to be able to port his work from one to the other, at least as long as no special hardware features are used. For well-behaved machine code programs which only makes calls through the Kernal routines, it may even be able to write cross-platform programs. With a bit of smart peeking around, you could even make the program utilize custom graphics or sound, but you would have to make two sets of routines how to produce those.
Actually with the help of the upcoming MasC=uerade (http://www.jbrain.com/projects/converter/) converter, you might make a C64 cartridge game that would be playable on a VIC-20 through the converter. In the mean time, one could make a disk or even tape game using the same prerequisites.

In the mean time, one could make a disk or even tape game using the same prerequisites.Well, OK, a skilled programmer could also port his work from a VIC to an Apple or an Atari, but the original query was about just simply using an adapter to stick the VIC20 cart into the 64; it would take a little more than just an adapter and it isn't exactly trivial to modify the code in the cartridge, which would almost certainly be necessary. I suspect that the OP thought it would be as straightforward as using an old DOS program in a Pentium.
Yup. By the way, I just ran a simple search query on eBay.com and found 29 auctions involving Commodore cartridges. Out of those, it seems 28 are C64 cartridges and one auction for a VIC-20 cartridge. If we include eBay Stores, the percentage of C64 cartridges gets even larger.
I imagine the C-64 could possibly emulate the Vic-20 with a sort of "thin" emulator (translating just the stuff necessary), but since they're relatively close in capabilities, it's probably unlikely to get anything approaching full speed. While it was trivial for Commodore to produce a small PET software emulator for the C-64, that just changed a few minor pointers and merely enabled a high level of BASIC compatibility.
I can't afford another system ATM, though.
I suspect that the OP thought it would be as straightforward as using an old DOS program in a Pentium.
The Mega-Cart is great, particularly since it also includes all of the RAM expansion options. The good thing for you with acquiring a VIC-20 is that it's one of the cheaper systems to acquire on places like eBay. There's not much demand. The only thing you have to really watch out are for keyboards with poor response.
Actually if you get a VIC-20CR you don't need an extra power supply. It will work perfectly with your C64 one. If you already use a 5-pin DIN composite video cable, you're all set to go. Since the keyboard mechanism also is compatible (irregardless what some people may tell you), if you have a spare C64(C) keyboard, you can use it instead. Another nice thing about Commodore keyboards in general are they are quite easy to clean and restore to good function.
Besides I would think the PET emulator is rather a simulator. I know the terminology has been up for debate a number of times, but for it to be called an emulator, it got to at least run the same set of ROMs and catch those few PET POKEs that goes into hardware. It was many years ago I tried that piece of software, but I tend to remember it only intercepts a few of the most common ones.
If you get a late revision VIC-20, even the power supply from the 64 would work.
PLA also has TWO imputs coming from the cartridge ... not sure if the PLA usse them to guess what kind of cartridge is present and what it is bypassing (KERNAL, BASIC ...).
More than one cartridge is like more than memory on the BUS. IF they are decoded rigth, they can work together, as KERNAL/BASIC do. If the work in the same interval, conflict is likely to happen.
