Great Frozen Yogurt - 16 handles, New York City Traveller Reviews - TripAdvisor Great Frozen Yogurt - 16 handles 40 Middle Neck Rd, New York City, NY 11021-2314 (Midtown) +1 516-858-0405 Ranked #291 of 453 Dessert in New York City Totally pleasant experience. it's not unusual for a self serve frozen yogurt place to be quite messy and crazy. in the case of 16 Handles, they had ample staff that were attentive and constantly cleaning. The toppings bar was amazingly clean despite a constant flow of customers dipping into the containers. Great job by the staff. oh, and by the way, yogurt is Excellent! Ask Christopher C about 16 handles This website allows wrong picture wt h? All three pictures are depicting a wrong store and not east village 153 2nd ave. I go there every other day and no of these pictures are right. Place is awesome though. Ask Loraine S about 16 handles i love love love froyo!! this place is extremely clean and the flavors are soo diverse!! there's a bit of everything for everyone Ask Viramos1 about 16 handles Thank Viramos1 This location at New City, NY is clean and friendly. Sample cups are provided to taste the flavor(s). Delicious yogurt flavors from a self serve machine and toppings. Anyone can lose themselves by piling up the yogurt and toppings. The finished creation in the cup is weighed at the register. Treat yourself and tastebuds to a fantastic dessert. Ask Mikecarstop about 16 handles Froyo nirvana Aaaaaaah, oooooh, eeeeehhh, oooooh = ridiculously delicious without the guilt associated with an orgasmic food experience. The concept is phenomenal but has been copied all over NYC now; however copies are 4 or 6 handles at best, this is 16 yeah baby. Just go wild. Pinkberry will be needing a bailout soon unless it converts to this new model. Bonus perk: this place is a gorgeous shape-conscious girls magnet, so forget the bar scene if you're single go for the frozen yogurt scene! Those charming creatures tend to chat you up over the toppings bar, just share suggestions, put your best smile on and continue the conversation on one of the benches outside and let the yogurt-pheromones work, et voila! single no more!

Green Four | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia James Bond characters, Film characters, The Living Daylights characters, and 4 more Allies Characters with unknown status Characters played by stunt performers Male characters Green Four Green FourButler, Blayden (Film Credits) As Koskov's debriefing at Blayden House concludes, 'Green Four' enters the kitchen to discover a Soviet Assassin, Necros, dumping the cook's body into a chest freezer. Reaching for his radio, he utters "Green Four to base-" before having the device kicked from his hand. The butler engages Necros in hand-to-hand combat, blocking a shot from a rolling pin and thwarting the assassin's use of an electric carving knife by yanking out the knife's plug. Holding him over the oven, Necros forces the butler's face onto the hot grill before having a fist-full of flour thrown into his eyes. Viciously brawling around the room, Necros makes a second attempt with a knife, before reaching for a saucepan of boiling water. Green Four narrowly avoids the scalding water before the assassin inflicts a series of strong kicks, eventually resulting in him being knocked out by a blow from a frying pan.

Happily Ever After....: The Space I Fill The Space I Fill I am posing a big question to myself this week. WHO AM I? I think, at times, others could answer this question about me much more accurately than I. I am certain that God holds the answer so safe in his grasp that the only way I can know it is to seek after him. Even knowing that truth keeps me in wonder. I strive so hard to make up a me that exist only in fairy tales (in which my hubby would testify I hold a permanent address). I want to be everyone to everybody, doesn't that make sense? To me, it's the only way to please the masses. But, wait a minute. Why have I decided it is my job to please the masses? If I remember correctly, we are supposed to REACH the masses with God's truth~there's nothing written that says we should PLEASE the masses. I know that if I stick to this thought I will never truly discover who I am in CHRIST! I am the same as a lot of you! I am the resident maid, chef (although not a very good one), chauffeur, doctor, storyteller, launderer, grocery shopper, playmate, and the list goes on and on, doesn't it? I enjoy all the spaces I fill in a typical day, but at times would trade off a few to break up the cycle, just like any of you. Sadly, these spaces I fill begin to define me. Because, seriously if I didn't do them then who would, right?? Newsflash, fellow SAHM's (Stay At Home Moms) we were not simply created for cleaning dirty toilets and folding underwear! We have people to impact!! Now, yes I do think it's impactful to clean dirty toilets and it would impact my little family if they didn't have any clean underwear, but being defined by these love chores isn't all there is! If I'm being honest I would say that my daily duties have been defining me as of late. And in turn those very spaces I "must" fill in a day are blinding me from who I really am in Christ! The "things" and the "tasks" become so important that they begin to crowd out the "truths" and the "teachings". So while I haven't discovered the answer to my question, WHO AM I? I have discovered that the spaces I fill are the very spaces that leave me feeling empty and prevent me from understanding all that God desires me to be. So I will seek the one who can pour out more wisdom, knowledge, and blessings than my cup can hold! And perhaps the spaces that I fill will be filled with more than just dirty toilets and underwear!

In the end, the economic team never had a chance: The president had already made up his mind, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to be candid. Obama wanted his health policy team — led by Nancy-Ann De­Parle, director of the White House Office of Health Reform — to be in charge of the law’s arduous implementation. ...

NUCLEAR POWER SAVINGS MISREPRESENTED - Chicago Tribune The ads by Commonwealth Edison about how the price of electricity has dropped recently due to nuclear power calls to mind the old joke about the three blind men who tried to describe an elephant. In both cases, the descriptions given were within the realm of truth. Yet in both cases, certain vital information was left out, and in Com Ed`s case, deliberately. While it is true that the cost of nuclear fuel is far less than the cost of coal, Com Ed makes no mention of the fact that nuclear plants are far more costly to build than other kinds of power plants. Further, no mention is made of recent data provided by the Utility Data Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based industry organization which tracks electric plant operating costs. The institute found that the operation and maintenance costs for nuclear power plants increased by 30 percent between 1981 and 1986 (adjusted for inflation), while the costs for coal plants declined by 13.3 percent during that same period. Left out of these comparison figures for nuclear plants are costs for capital additions, on-site insurance coverage for nuclear facilities, and the current (unrealistically low) estimates given for the disposal of nuclear waste in the future. Com Ed boasts that its nuclear plants ''helped us meet your all-time record electrical demand last summer,'' set on Aug. 3. The company neglects to tell the reader that 3 of 10 of its nuclear reactors were shut down that day and that the 7 plants remaining in operation were capable of producing only one-third of the electricity needed that day. In other words, two-thirds of the electricity used on that record-setting day came from other sources, such as coal, oil and gas plants, and power purchased from other utilities. When one weighs this information with that provided by Com Ed in its ads, one can only conclude that the content of these ads-like Com Ed management`s thinking on nuclear power-is soft and mushy.

Pietro Agnelli | Criminal Case Wiki | Fandom Father Pietro Agnelli Father Pietro Agnelli was the victim in When Shadows Fall (Case #5 of World Edition). Pietro was a Catholic priest next-in-line to become the pope. Pietro had white hair, brown eyes, and a beard, and wore a pair of rectangular glasses. At the time of his death, he was wearing a black priest robe. Pietro was found at the Piazza di Spagna with a Promethian symbol branded into his chest. Angela confirmed that he was killed with a branding iron, but not in the way the player and Carmen thought. Pietro's heart stopped with the shock of being branded. She managed to find traces of the killer's spit in the wound, and the spit held traces of ingredients used to make cappuccino. This meant that Pietro's killer drank cappuccino. After examining the Piazza di Spagna again, the player and Carmen managed to find a branding iron with a Promethian symbol on it. It was filed as the murder weapon, and was sent off to Lars for analysis. He ran a DNA test on it, and found the killer did not have much eumelanin. He says it helps determine the darkness of hair, and the lack of it in the DNA sample meant the killer had white hair. Pietro had been vocally opposed to the unification of Europe on the radio show he co-hosted with Sister Beppa. However, Pietro told Beppa he was abandoning the anti-referendum cause, upsetting her greatly. Pietro had also "reformed" Brother Klaus from his Promethian ways, but butted heads with him over their stances on priest marriage, which Pietro was not opposed to, and on the referendum. Cardinal Salieri, who wanted to be Pope, also had a rivalry with Pietro partially due to Pietro's participation in politics. Pietro also knew big secrets of two people: he knew of opera singer Fiora Tosca, falsifying her rags-to-riches backstory because he had blessed her father's car in her childhood and he knew that gondolier Alonzo Conte was former mafioso Gianni Bonfiglio, even encouraging him to turn himself in. The killer turned out to be Brother Klaus, who was feigning his reformation. Pietro's body. Brother Klaus, Pietro's late killer.

Navdeep Kaur: Memory-Worthy Chapter Books Memory-Worthy Chapter Books I'm following up with some book ideas for middle grade readers. I remember how stimulating and inspiring I found these books--I know for a fact that my peers also loved them. I tried to include different titles for different tastes. A sea adventure set in the 19th century. It is bound to be enjoyed by both girls and boys despite the lead character being a thirteen-year old girl who transforms from a proper young lady into a true sailor. Who knew children could invent words and make them famous worldwide? This is a very fun read. A story based on the concept of arranged marriage in Africa. It's quite an intriguing story and will introduce children to ideas that are completely different from Western culture norms. This is a historical novel encouraging women's empowerment through the story of one young lady who was a top-notch stagecoach driver and became the first female to vote in California. And then there were the favorite series books; how about gifting someone the whole collection? What were your favorite chapter books? Were you ever hooked to a specific book series? Which one?

Warfare and the Book of Mormon: Monkey Business and the Problems with Comparisons I'm also not that interested in debating the war(s). This was a narrow post about methodology in comparisons and an example concerning the "grave yard" myth. One more long debate about the war is not on my agenda.

amplifier - Amplifying Small Signal With Solid State Relay - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange I am trying to control an electromagnet with a signal from a small microcontroller (a BeagleBone Black). Obviously, I need to amplify the signal. I have a lead from a power source that I want to pass through to something when the pin on my board goes High (3.3v). I think that a relay is what I want here (correct me if I'm wrong), but have no idea how to find one that will do what I need. The separate power supply will range anywhere from 5 Volts 0.5 Amps to possibly 20 Volts 3 Amps. Because of the circumstances where I'll be using these relays, I would rather use solid-state relays so that there aren't more magnets than there needs to be in the vicinity. Are relays what I'm looking for? If so, are relays that fit these specs available, and what exactly am I looking for? EDIT: To add some more detail, it will be High for approximately 50-100 ms. For most of the time, the separate supply will be at 20 Volts 3 Amps, but I will be testing my stuff with it, so I may try it at higher or lower values. amplifier solid-state-relay beaglebone-black edited Mar 1 '14 at 21:57 asked Mar 1 '14 at 6:37 \$\begingroup\$ "Amplification" implies that there's some state between "full off" and "full on" that matters. Is this the case here? \$\endgroup\$ – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Mar 1 '14 at 6:48 \$\begingroup\$ To clarify @IgnacioVazquez-Abrams's comment. If you have a binary signal, and you need to change the voltages that correspond to "on" or "off", you need a level translator, not an amplifier. This may also be called a buffer. \$\endgroup\$ – Connor Wolf Mar 1 '14 at 7:03 \$\begingroup\$ Semantics. Op's using amplify in a grammatically correct way... \$\endgroup\$ – Passerby Mar 1 '14 at 7:07 \$\begingroup\$ @Passerby: Sure, but the technical differences mean different solutions. \$\endgroup\$ – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Mar 1 '14 at 7:09 \$\begingroup\$ Wasabi, how often are you switching the relay on/off? Are you using pwm? And how much current does the electromagnet use? \$\endgroup\$ – Passerby Mar 1 '14 at 7:13 Here is a mosfer driver version, I added a zener to limit Vgs to about 15v since the input can range up to 20v which is usually the max Vgs spec and can damage the mosfet (check yous mosfet specs, you may need to use a lower zener value). Vgs can be as low as 5v so you should select the output mosfet accordingly so that it can turn on with a low Rds-on at that voltage. A logic level mosfet should do. If a low side switch is an option you can use the following The load supply can be as high as the mosfet can take as a max Vds edited Mar 1 '14 at 22:38 answered Mar 1 '14 at 11:08 \$\begingroup\$ This would work pretty well (a bit complex, but it would work) accept for the fact that I need 20v to work, and I would prefer to be able to test it at higher. \$\endgroup\$ – Wasabi Fan Mar 1 '14 at 22:11 \$\begingroup\$ @WasabiFan accept for the fact that I need 20v to work, and I would prefer to be able to test it at higher I'm not sure what you meant by that. Also a low side switch (ground side) would be much simpler but is that an option with your load? The circuit I showed will work at higher voltage too like 30 or 40v but R2 will need to be of a higher value to reduce the zener current (and power dissipation). \$\endgroup\$ – alexan_e Mar 1 '14 at 22:18 \$\begingroup\$ I mean that my separate supply will be >20v, and you seem to have indicated that that won't work. Are you saying that I would need a higher signal to make that work? How high would it need to be? \$\endgroup\$ – Wasabi Fan Mar 1 '14 at 22:44 \$\begingroup\$ @WasabiFan I never said that it wouldn't work, I just used a range of 5-20v in the schematic because that was the original specification. The circuit can work with a higher input as long as it is within spec of the power mosfet (below max Vds). Also I have calculated resistor R2 for a drop of 5v (20v-15v), if that increases significantly then the power consumption on the resistor and zener will be too high. Depending on the max input the resistor value should be increased. \$\endgroup\$ – alexan_e Mar 1 '14 at 23:48 It's really an interfacing problem. Your controller outputs a 3V3 signal at very low current. The electromagnet needs a higher voltage and a much bigger current. The P channel MOSFET makes a very good high current switch. R1 ties the gate to the source and turns the MOSFET OFF. When the gate input is pulled to ground (0V) by Q2 (an NPN transistor) the MOSFET turns ON and current will flow through the electromagnet. When Q2 is turned OFF the MOSFET is turned OFF and the electromagnet needs to dump the energy stored in the magnetic field. This is the job of D1 which shorts out the back emf produced which would otherwise damage Q1. Q2 is a simple NPN transistor switch. If the input voltage is above 0.6V it turns ON. If it is below 0.6V it turns OFF. R2 limits the current to the base. answered Mar 1 '14 at 9:38 \$\begingroup\$ You should probably explicitly limit V_gs on Q1. \$\endgroup\$ – Dave Tweed♦ Mar 1 '14 at 12:30 \$\begingroup\$ What's the max voltage on this? \$\endgroup\$ – Wasabi Fan Mar 1 '14 at 22:11 \$\begingroup\$ @WasabiFan The max voltage (and current) depends on which P-Channel Mosfet you use. \$\endgroup\$ – Passerby Mar 2 '14 at 1:19 Not the answer you're looking for?

RedHat Local Update Server – Current | Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication RedHat Local Update Server – Current Managing more than 40 Redhat servers became a hassle and now expensive with redhat charging obscene amounts of money for their RedHat Network update service. Opensource to the rescue!!! Found out about a project called Current that allows you to have a local update server that will connect to RedHat to download updates and then host updates for all the other servers. Only pay for one subscription if you do not want to compile the source which is available for free and save bandwidth. The whole process was rather confusing, so I decided to put together something on this. The central server and the client are running RedHat Enterprise Linux AS 4 and the version of current used was Current 1.7.2. Installation Server-side: Installed the rpm. –> rpm -ivh current-1.7.2-1.noarch.rpm Edit the /etc/current/current.conf file to your liking. Making sure you have a directory where the database will be held. Run: cinstall create_apache_config –> This will create configurations file in the /etc/httpd directory. Run: cinstall create_certificate –> This will create three files in the /etc/current directory. The server.crt will need to be moved to /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ and the server.key will need to be moved to /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/ . The last file “RHNS-CA-CERT” will be moved to /usr/share/rhn and named CURRENT-CA-CERT. Run: cinstall initdb –> This sets up the database schema. Restart Apache and current should be operational. If you face any problems up to this point then you might need to check for python or database updates. Run: cadmin create_channel -r ‘release’ -a ‘arch’ -l ‘label’ -n ‘name’. This will create a channel for you. (cadmin create_channel -r 4AS -a i386 -l 4AS -n i386-redhat-linux) Run: cadmin add_dir -l ‘label’ -d ‘dir’ –> Adds a directory to the channel specified by label. (cadmin add_dir -l 4AS -d /var/spool/up2date) At this point you should have the local update server pulling updates from RHN and keeping copies of the rpms in /var/spool/up2date. This can be configured by running #up2date –configure. Installation Client-side: Copy certificate file CURRENT-CA-CERT to /usr/share/rhn Edit file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date o Change sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT o to sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/CURRENT-CA-CERT o Change serverURL=https://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC o to serverURL=https://server.somedomain.com/XMLRPC o Change noSSLServerURL=http://www.rhns.redhat.com/XMLRPC o to noSSLServerURL=http://server.somedomain.com/XMLRPC A cron job needs to be set-up to run on a daily basis to check for updates and install them (excluding kernel updates).

Oct 20 '09 at 7:47 Seems like session issue. I'm not actually doing anything with sessions. What are you expecting it to be exactly? Oct 21 '09 at 8:20 1 That HttpException is (literally) a catch-all that will be thrown if any exception is thrown inside that ExecuteInternal method. The exception should have an InnerException, which should be more helpful in finding out what's really wrong. I don't think that it is the recompile that is the problem. It the app in IIS is idle for a while, or if there is a recycling of the application pool, then information cached in memory is lost. The next call will then trigger a JIT recompile. What is also lost is any data cached in memory, and any singelton objects that may have been created. My guess is that you are creating or initializing something when the root page is called. All other pages are dependent upon this initialization having been done. That is why the other pages fail if they are called before the root page. share|improve this answer answered Oct 25 '09 at 21:53 Yeah, turns out it's actually a bug in MvcSiteMap as I tested it in debug mode. There's a timeout flag in it, so it re-renders the menu, but when it goes to grab the current SiteMapNode it fails because of the third party library.

2014 Silver Strand Half Marathon Training Update (Week 10 of 11) | Running Inspired Blog ← Heath vs Fitness My left knee (MCL) is improving but begins to hurt about 30 to 45 minutes into a run. This was better than the last two weeks, when the pain started about 15 to 20 minutes into a run. I switched back to my old Nike Frees, which seems to help, but the damage is already done and the slow healing process continues. I was able to run 15 miles this week and completed a slow one hour run this morning with some mild pain, but it was encouraging. I’m somewhat hopeful I can at least slowly jog the half marathon next Sunday, but I would say my chances are 50/50. We’ll see how the running feels this week, then I’ll need to make a decision by Saturday. Otherwise, things are going really well. I’m continuing to sleep well and all my vital signs and weight remain relatively consistent. Without much running the past few weeks, I’m really surprised that my weight did not really increase. For cardio, I have been using my indoor bike trainer in lieu of the running, but it is not nearly the same. I credit the weight stability primarily to minimizing the grains and sugar in my diet. I decided I won’t taper this week since I don’t plan to run hard for the half marathon. I’ll do a normal workout week, which includes running, biking, short intervals, strength training and stretching. Well, I hope I’ll be able to at least participant in next weekend’s race. If anything, if I can get at least 10 miles into the race at a slow pace before the knee starts hurting too bad, I figure I could walk the last three miles in. But again, we’ll see how this week’s running goes. What I want to avoid is dropping out of the race halfway through or pushing myself through the pain and then setting back the recovery period for several more weeks.

Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary 11,904,021,339 visitors served Hereditary tyrosinemia Type I (HTI, OMIM 276700) is a rare inborn error of tyrosine metabolism due to deficiency of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolic pathway (1) (Figure 1). Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 components through the hydrodynamic injection or adeno-associated virus-9 have been applied to correct mutation of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) or dystrophin gene (dmd) in mouse models of hereditary tyrosinemia type I (HTI) or Duchenne muscular dystrophy through homologous recombination or exon skipping therapy [126-128]. Type 1 hereditary tyrosinaemia is caused by a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of fumarylacetoacetase. Social behavior and cognitive deficits have recently been observed in individuals with the rare disorder tyrosinemia type I, which is caused by an autosomal recessive fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) deficiency. Initially, it was shown that in a FAH-/- (fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase-deficient) mouse model only (c-[Kit.sup.high][Thy.sup.low]Lin-Sca1+)-HSC, but not c-Kit-Sca1- or lineage-positive (Lin+) cells, differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells [86]. This patient has tyrosinemia type I (TYR1) caused by deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase [EC.3.7.1.2], which catalyzes the hydrolysis of fumarylacetoacetate at the final step of tyrosine metabolism.

c++ - How is sort for std::deque implemented? - Stack Overflow Not so far I've learned how std::deque is implemented under the hood, and discovered that it's something like an array of pointers to n-byte arrays, where the data is actually stored. So now I have a couple of questions related to deques. A picture that describes my current knowledge about it's structure: When a push_front operation is being performed and there is no free space in Data Block 0, a new Data Block is allocated on heap and a pointer to this freshly allocated memory is inserted into 'Map' array like in ordinary array -- in O(number_of_blocks) time, yes? How to sort this beast? Can't imagine anything better then copy all the data into array, sort it, and then put it back. But this approach requires O(n) auxiliary memory... But! std::sort provides similar interface for sorting both std::vector and std::deque. How are different algoritms for different data structures implemented? Using a template specialization? If so, why std::list can't be sorted using std::sort? Or, maybe, std::sort doesn't care about internal structure of this containers and just uses iterators and methods, that are similar in both std::vector and std::deque (like operator[], size(), etc)? This idea sounds reasonable and an answer to "why can't std::sort sort std::list?" becomes evident. How are the sizes of data blocks being chosen? You'll say "It's implementation dependent", but please tell more about different implementations and motivation behind solutions. Need clarifications here. Thanks. c++ sorting vector stl deque edited Jun 13 '14 at 7:08 vortexxx192vortexxx192 The math behind them not withstanding, std::deque has random access iterators, and as such any in-place sorting algorithm will be able to sort the data within using that functionality and not requiring O(N) additional storage. std::list doesn't provide random access iteration, and thus is not std::sort-able. (it is, however, std::list::sort-able). See the Type requirements section of the documentation of std::sort. – WhozCraig Jun 13 '14 at 7:04 You are missing STL's Containers <- Iterator -> Algorithms scheme. Sorting is the same as with any other container that has random access iterators. – 101010 Jun 13 '14 at 7:04 std::sort works on any pair of random access iterators. Both std::vector and std::deque provide random access iterators, but std::list does not. There is not (necessarily) any template specialisation magic or anything, as std::sort works by swapping elements in the provided range; this does not require significant additional storage, and also does not require special knowledge of the container/range/whatever behind the iterators. – Mankarse Jun 13 '14 at 7:05 Very good reading: stroustrup.com/Programming/20_containers.ppt – 101010 Jun 13 '14 at 7:25 To answer to your first question, yes, that's pretty much how it works. One can note that this approach can be extended into a multi-level hierarchical structure. But practical implementations usually stick to two-level structure, exactly as shown in your picture. For your second question, if you are taking about std::sort, then std::sort works without any knowledge about the mechanics of the actual container. If works on a range of random-access iterators. Since std::deque's iterators are random-access iterators, std::sort can be applied to std::deque. And one can actually argue that random access to elements of such data structure is rather efficient. It is not as efficient as random access in a vector, but it is still pretty efficient to make sense in the context of std::sort. You cannot use std::sort with std::list because std::list's iterators are not random access iterators. If you wish, you can implement your own trivial (slow) version of random-access iterator for std::list. You will be able to apply std::sort to a range of such iterators and thus sort an std::list with std::sort. But for obvious reasons it will be prohibitively inefficient. In case of std::deque random access iterators are more than adequately efficient. I'm not prepared to answer the third question. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to find out that these sizes are chosen empirically, based on a bunch of experiments. And, of course, there's probably no "one size fits all" solution. edited Jun 13 '14 at 7:53 answered Jun 13 '14 at 7:12 265k3535 gold badges429429 silver badges673673 bronze badges Re his second question: the important point to make is that std::sort swaps the actual data, irrespective of where it is located, so it is completely agnostic with regards to the underlying structure of the container. – James Kanze Jun 13 '14 at 9:09 Not the answer you're looking for?

Great article- would follow you- but I’m already following you on twitter and facebook. I’m one of those types trying to get noticed. And we have employed some of the tools you wrote about.

Fleeting Impressions: September 2006 Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. From Madness to Passion Bit of synchronicity caught my eye today. I was really going crazy two days ago (between the divorce and some other things), and while shopping ran across a card with this quote. It really resonated with me at the time, so much that I almost bought the card on impulse. Then today as I was logging into a Linux computer, the same quote popped up again. The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road" I don't usually fit that description very well. And I don't think I always should, it doesn't sound like these poor people get any rest. But sometimes I catch myself being uncomfortable with my own madness, (like when I was shopping the other day) and it was liberating to be OK with it and just let it flow, to embrace the passion. Another great quote from Nelson Mandela touches a similar theme: Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. UPDATE: I ran across this second quote again, the day after I posted this here. It was about two minutes after I was telling myself not to make too much noise about an issue because I didn't want to look like I was just trying to attract attention to myself. More synchronicity. posted by Jules @ 9/22/2006 4 comments links to this post Be Afraid! Be Very Very Afraid! Politicians have been using the tactic of spreading fear to further their own interests since long before World War Two, but the Nazis are perhaps the most famous example of a government using fear to promote their own agenda. -Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshall and Luftwaffe-Chief, at the Nuremburg trials. Did you know that in the United States, you're much more likely to be killed by your appendix than by a terrorist? I believe that right now, US foreign policy is creating terrorists faster than we are imprisoning or killing them. And we have no data on how many of the imprisoned are actually terrorists, because they're not getting fair trials. Current US foreign policy is all about buying energy security at the cost of our democratic ideals. Is it worth it? I don't think so. Maybe the Canadian citizen who the US government shipped to Syria to be tortured can tell us something about how fair trials might be important. Like, for instance, how a presentation of the evidence against him would have completely cleared his name, preventing him from being tortured and detained in Syria for a year. Since when did torture become a legitimate tool of law enforcement anyway?

The optical quadrature interferometer uses a different state of polarization in each of two arms of the interferometer. A light beam is split into two beams by a beamsplitter, each beam directed to a respective arm of the interferometer. In one arm, the measurement arm, the light beam is directed through a linear polarizer and a quarter wave plate to produce circularly polarized light, and then to a target being measured. In the other arm, the reference arm, the light beam is not subject to any change in polarization. After the light beams have traversed their respective arms, the light beams are combined by a recombining beamsplitter. As such, upon the beams of each arm being recombined, a polarizing element is used to separate the combined light beam into two separate fields which are in quadrature with each other. An image processing algorithm can then obtain the in-phase and quadrature components of the signal in order to construct an image of the target based on the magnitude and phase of the recombined light beam. The system may further be used for lensless imaging. We claim: 1. An optical quadrature interferometer comprising:a light source providing a beam of light; a first beamsplitter oriented at an angle with respect to said light source, said first beamsplitter receiving said beam of light and splitting said beam of light into a first secondary light beam and a second secondary light beam; a recombining beamsplitter; a first reflective element oriented such that said first reflective element receives said first secondary light beam and reflects said first secondary light beam along a different axis to said recombining beamsplitter; a second reflective element receiving said secondary light beam and oriented to direct said secondary light beam along a different axis; a quarter wave plate receiving said second secondary light beam from said second reflective element, said quarter wave plate providing a 90 phase shift between vertically and horizontally polarized components of the beam resulting in a circularly polarized light beam; a target receiving said circularly polarized light beam, said target causing a change to said circularly polarized light beam resulting in a measurement light beam; said recombining beamsplitter combining said measurement light beam with said first secondary light beam to provide a first resultant light beam and a second resultant light beam, said first secondary light beam having approximately the same frequency as said beam of light; a first polarizing beamsplitter receiving said first resultant light beam and splitting said first resultant light beam into a first secondary resultant light beam and a second secondary resultant light beam; a second polarizing beamsplitter receiving said second resultant light beam and splitting said second resultant light beam into a third secondary resultant light beam and a fourth secondary resultant light beam; and at least one imaging system for displaying data from said first secondary resultant light beam, said second secondary resultant light beam, said third secondary resultant light beam, and said fourth secondary resultant light beam. 2. The optical quadrature interferometer of claim 1 wherein the change to said circularly polarized light beam by said target comprises a phase shift. 10. An optical quadrature interferometer comprising:a light source providing a beam of light; a first beamsplitter oriented at an angle with respect to said light source, said first beamsplitter receiving said beam of light and splitting said beam of light into a first secondary light beam and a second secondary light beam; a recombining beamsplitter; a first reflective element oriented such that said first reflective element receives said first secondary light beam and reflects a portion of said first secondary light beam along a different axis to said recombining beamsplitter; a second reflective element receiving said secondary light beam and oriented to direct said secondary light beam along a different axis; a quarter wave plate receiving said second secondary light beam from said second reflective element, said quarter wave plate providing a 90 phase shift between vertically and horizontally polarized components of the beam resulting in a circularly polarized light beam; a target receiving said a portion of the first secondary light beam not reflected by said first reflective element, said target causing a change to the portion of the first secondary light beam received by said target resulting in a measurement light beam; said recombining beamsplitter combining said measurement light beam with said first secondary light beam to provide a first resultant light beam and a second resultant light beam, said first secondary light beam having approximately the same frequency as said beam of light; a first polarizing beamsplitter receiving said first resultant light beam and splitting said first resultant light beam into a first secondary resultant light beam and a second secondary resultant light beam; a second polarizing beamsplitter receiving said second resultant light beam and splitting said second resultant light beam into a third secondary resultant light beam and a fourth secondary resultant light beam; and at least one imaging system for displaying data from said first secondary resultant light beam, said second secondary resultant light beam, said third secondary resultant light beam, and said fourth secondary resultant light beam. 11. The optical quadrature interferometer of claim 10 wherein the change to said circularly polarized light beam by said target comprises a phase shift. Referring now to FIG. 2 a first implementation of an optical quadrature interferometer 100 is shown. The optical quadrature interferometer 100 is based on a Mach-Zender interferometer and comprises a light source 20, such as a laser, providing a beam of light 80 which is directed to a beamsplitter 30. When a light source 20 which is not well polarized is used, a polarizer 150 which polarizes the light at 45 vertical, may be inserted between the light source 20 and the beamsplitter 30. Other angles are also possible, provided that a corresponding change is made at the output. If a well polarized light source is used, polarizer 150 is not necessary. The beamsplitter 30 splits the beam of light 80 into two secondary beams 82 and 84 which are in phase with each other. The beamsplitter 30 is angled such that a portion of the beam 84 is reflected along a different axis than that of beam 80, and a portion of the beam 82 passes through the beamsplitter 30. The portion of light reflected by beamsplitter 30 is the second secondary light beam 84. This beam is directed through a quarter wave plate 120 by second reflective element 50. The quarter wave plate 120 provides for a relative phase shift of Δφ=π/2 radians which is equivalent to a phase shift of 90 phase shifted beam 81. Phase shifted beam 81 is then directed through target 90. As phase shifted beam 81 passes through target 90, phase shifted beam 81 may undergo a change in phase, amplitude or both, resulting in measurement beam 85. This path comprises the measurement arm 92. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of an optical quadrature interferometer 250 based on a Michelson interferometer. The optical quadrature interferometer 250 comprises a light source 20, such as a laser, providing a beam of light 80 which is directed to a beamsplitter 30. An optional polarizer 150 which polarizes the light at 45 vertical may be used if the light source 20 is not well polarized. The beamsplitter 30 splits the beam of light 80 into two secondary beams 82 and 84 which are in a known phase relationship with each other. The first secondary beam 82 is directed to a reference 110 resulting in compensated light beam 83. Compensated light beam 83 is then directed to a first reflective element 40. First reflective element 40 is oriented such that the compensated light beam is reflected back along the same axis, through reference 110, and to beamsplitter 30. In the measurement arm 98 of the optical quadrature interferometer 250, the second secondary light beam 84 is directed through a one-eighth wave plate 130. The one-eighth wave plate 130 provides for a relative phase shift of Δφ=π/4 radians which is equivalent to a phase shift of 45 entering the one-eighth wave plate 130. Beam 81 is then directed through target 90, where it undergoes a change in phase, amplitude or both; resulting in measurement beam 85. Measurement beam 85 is then directed to second reflective element 50 which is oriented so that beam 85 is reflected back through target 90, then through one-eighth wave plate 130, where the beam is phase shifted another 45 being shifted a total of 90 polarization components of the beam, not including any phase shift as a result of the beam passing through the target 90. Referring now to FIG. 5 a further implementation of an optical quadrature interferometer 300 is shown. The optical quadrature interferometer 300 comprises a light source 20, such as a laser, providing a beam of light 80 which is directed to a beamsplitter 30. When a light source 20 which is not well polarized is used, a polarizer 150 which polarizes the light at 45 and the beamsplitter 30. Other angles are also possible, provided that a corresponding change is made at the output. If a well polarized light source is used, polarizer 150 is not necessary. The beamsplitter 30 splits the beam of light 80 into two secondary beams 82 and 84 which are in phase with each other. The beamsplitter 30 is angled such that a portion of the beam 84 is reflected along a different axis than that of beam 80, and a portion of the beam 82 passes through the beamsplitter 30. The portion of light reflected by beamsplitter 30 is the second secondary light beam 84. This beam is directed through a quarter wave plate 120 by second reflective element 50. The quarter wave plate 120 provides for a relative phase shift of Δφ=π/2 radians which is equivalent to a phase shift of 90 phase shifted beam 81. -E.sub.ref The above equation assumes each path has an equal amplitude, so some attenuation may be required in one path in order to provide the equal amplitude. The I and Q phases are needed on both outputs, and can be obtained as shown in FIGS. 5 and 5A. Each of the four outputs may be directed to a separate imaging device or to different parts of a single array. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An optical quadrature interferometer according to the present invention includes a light source which may be polarized or an unpolarized light source and a polarizer, and a beamsplitter which splits the light provided by the light source into two signals which are in a defined phase relationship with each other. In one path a quarter wave plate is used to convert the polarization of the light to circular. This circularly polarized light can be represented by equal amounts of vertically and horizontally polarized light with a phase difference of 90 them. The circularly polarized signal is then transmitted through a target and the resulting signal is combined with the reference signal. The combined signal is then directed through a polarizer which can switch between vertical polarization and horizontal polarization or alternatively through a polarizing beamsplitter. The combined signal can thus be separated into two separate fields which are in quadrature with each other. An image processing algorithm can then obtain the in-phase and quadrature information and provide detailed images of the amplitude and phase of the target.

Deep Passing: Ponder vs. Cassel Christian Ponder (right) posted the lowest completion percentage of passes targeted 21 to 30 yards downfield in 2012 and completed fewer passes targeted more than 30 yards downfield than any other full-time starter. By comparison, Matt Cassel isn't any better. "Christian Ponder is our starting quarterback. Matt knows that, he knew it when we went through the acquisition," Frazier said in the interview from the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, which aired Monday morning. "[Cassel] knows that he's coming in to provide insurance for us. If something were to happen to Christian injury-wise, we have a quality backup that can step in and do a great job for us," Frazier said. "Christian just needs to continue to improve like we all expect him to, but he's our starting quarterback." Cassel signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Vikings last week after being released by the Kansas City Chiefs. He said last week in a conference call after signing his deal that "the fact of the matter is, Christian is the starting quarterback." That hasn't stopped speculation, however, that the quarterback job is up for grabs. A source told ESPN last week when Cassel signed with Minnesota that he would get a chance to compete for the starting quarterback position. Ponder has a history of injuries both in college and his first two seasons in the NFL, including last season, when he was unable to play in the playoff game against Green Bay because of an arm injury. That forced the Vikings to start backup Joe Webb, who faltered badly in the 24-10 loss. Seifert on Cassel's Contract A closer look at Matt Cassel's contract supports the Vikings' insistence that Christian Ponder is the team's starter, Kevin Seifert writes. Blog Cassel was a career backup in college at Southern Cal, then spent his first three seasons in the NFL buried on the bench behind Tom Brady. When Brady went down with a knee injury in 2008, Cassel stepped in and led the Patriots to an 11-5 record. He was traded to Kansas City before the next season. Ponder made an appearance at the owners' meetings Monday and was asked what he thought of the still-forming group of pass-catchers at his disposal. Greg Jennings signed last week, while veteran Jerome Simpson was re-signed in hopes he has overcome the nerve damage that limited his 2012 season. "Having a guy like [tight end] Kyle [Rudolph], everyone knows our chemistry together and his ability as a player," Ponder said. "He was the Pro Bowl MVP. Him and adding Greg, he's obviously a great player as well. Jerome, he's going to be so much better having another year under his belt. I'm sure we'll take a guy or two in the draft, guys that can step up and play early. "But having Adrian Peterson in the backfield helps. So I think we're really coming together as an offense."

From The Rearview Mirror: New Who As is well-documented on my blog, I'm pretty leery of anything Pete and Roger (aka, "Who's Left") put out these days, but if The Ox and Moon the Loon are involved, then chances are this project is worthy of attention. In lieu of that, the film 'The Kids Are Alright' is required viewing for ANYONE wanting to know what this Rock 'N' Roll thang is... While this was one of my favorite groups of all time, their biggest impact on me was their performance at the "Concert For New York City". They blew everyone else away on that stage, and the songs they chose to perform were absolutely perfect for the time and place. I would like to see someone do a documentary on that concert. Can you imagine how emotional it must have been back stage? "Who are you" was my fav album from them, and it TRULY had one of R&R's creepiest album covers. On the back cover sat Keith in a directors chair w/ the words "not to be taken away" stenciled on it. That was Moons last album.

In particular, the present invention relates to the production of liquid hydrocarbons by contacting synthesis gas with a FischerTropsch catalyst in an aggregative fluidised bed. The production of hydrocarbons by contacting synthesis gas with a Fischer- Tropsch catalyst, typically a cobalt or iron catalyst, which may be either supported or unsupported, has been known for a considerable number of years. FischerTropsch processes have been operated commercially, for example, by Sasol Technology (Pty) Ltd in South Africa. Much of the early work on Fischer- Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis was accomplished using fixed bed catalysts but in recent times attention has shifted to the use of liquid phase catalytic reactions largely because of the relative ease of removing the exothermic heat of reaction in such systems. Liquid phase Fischer-Tropsch processes typically employ a three-phase (liquid/gas/solid) slurry medium. In particular, use of fluidised beds in Fischer- Tropsch processes is known. In a fluidised bed, solid particles are transformed into a fluid-like state by the upward passage of a gas or liquid (fluidising fluid). When the velocity of the fluidising fluid reaches a critical velocity the drag force on the solid particles equals the buoyant weight of the bed. The bed is then supported by the fluidising fluid and possesses fluidlike properties such as flowing easily and maintaining a horizontal level when the bed is tilted. In addition, low density objects may be floated on the surface of the bed. This state is known as "fluidisation", and the critical superficial fluid velocity at which this occurs is termed the "minimum fluidisation velocity". When the fluidising fluid is a liquid (i.e. a liquid-solid system), an increase in the rate of flow of the liquid above the minimum fluidisation conditions, generally results in a progressive expansion of the bed, which gives rise to what is termed "particulate" or "homogeneous fluidisation". For large diameter fluidised beds, the expansion of a particulate fluidised bed can be approximated by the relationship: where V is the superficial liquid velocity, V t is the terminal fall velocity of the solid particles, E is the voidage of the solid particles, and n is the Richardson and Zaki exponent which is dependent upon the terminal Reynolds number, Ret and ranges from n=2.4 (Ret>500) to n=4.65 (Ret<0.2). The exponent n is also a function of the particle-to-bed diameter ratio, dID, as described by Yates in "Fundamentals of Fluidised-Bed Chemical Processes", Butterworths 1983, pages 14-15. This relationship can generally be ignored for 55 small particles in large diameter beds. Fischer-Tropsch processes which employ particulate fluidised beds in slurry bubble column reactors are described in, for example, V.S. Pat. Nos. 5,348,982; 5,157,054; 5,252, 613; 5,866,621; 5,811,468; and 5,382,748. Slurry bubble 60 column reactors operate by suspending catalytic particles in a liquid and feeding gas phase reactants into the bottom of the reactor through a gas distributor which produces small gas bubbles. As the gas bubbles rise through the reactor, the reactants are absorbed into the liquid and diffuse to the 65 catalyst where, depending on the catalytic system, they can be converted to both liquid and gaseous products. If gaseous 2 products are formed, they enter the gas bubbles and are collected at the top of the reactor. Liquid products are recovered by passing the slurry through a filter which separates the liquid from the catalytic solids. In slurry 5 bubble columns mixing is effected by the action of the rising gas bubbles. In V.S. Pat. No. 5,776,988, a Fischer- Tropsch process is operated by passing liquid and gas through the reactor in an ascending flow so as to expand a particulate fluidised 10 catalytic bed by at least 10% and up to 50% in relation to the height of the bed at rest and to place the catalyst in random movement in the liquid. By controlling the size and density of the catalytic particles, and the velocities of the gases and of the liquids, while taking into account the viscosity of the 15 liquid and the operating conditions, the catalytic bed expands to a controlled height. The size of the catalyst is typically of mean equivalent diameter of between 100 and 5000 ,um. A commercial scale plant operated according to the process of V.S. Pat. No. 5,776,988 would require a 20 catalytic bed of several meters in diameter and several meters deep. However, a limitation to particulate fluidisation, particuIarly when applied to Fischer-Tropsch processes, is the marked relationship between the liquid fluidising velocity 25 and the catalyst size and density. In order to avoid expansion of the bed out of the reaction vessel, a superficial liquid velocity must be employed below that of the terminal fall velocity, Vt, of the solid particles. To increase the "window" of operability of a commercial process, a larger catalyst 30 particle size can be used which increases the terminal fall velocity, V" and hence allows a higher superficial liquid velocity to be employed. Generally, in order to prevent segregation of the catalyst particles, a very narrow particle size distribution is employed (often referred to as monosized 35 catalyst particles). A different type of fluidisation behaviour is observed when the solid particles have a density which is considerably higher than that of the fluidising liquid. This type of fluidisation is called "aggregative" or "bubbling" fluidisation. The 40 fundamental reasons for the transition from particulate to aggregative fluidisation is not well understood but, without wishing to be bound by any theory, an important factor is the density ratio, pipt, where Ps is the density of the solid particles and Pt is the density of the fluidising fluid. If the 45 density ratio is high, aggregative behaviour is obtained; if the ratio is low, particulate fluidisation is observed. For particles having an average diameter in the range of 50 to 1000,um, fluidised with liquids having a density in the range of 700 to 1000 kg/m", the transition from particulate to 50 aggregative fluidisation occurs for solid particles having a density of greater than approximately 4000 kg/m '. Expansion of an aggregative fluidised bed does not follow the relationship: Instead, aggregative fluidised beds are characterised by the formation of particle free regions of fluidising liquid above the minimum fluidisation conditions. These particle free regions of fluidising liquid may be regarded as liquid "bubbles" or liquid "voids". Surprisingly, it has now been found that a Fischer- Tropsch process can be successfully operated using an aggregative fluidised catalytic bed. The present invention relates to a process for the production of liquid hydrocarbon products by passing, at elevated temperature and pressure, synthesis gas and a fluidising liquid through a fluidised catalytic bed within a reaction 3 US 6,716,887 B2 4 zone, characterised in that the fluidised catalytic bed is an aggregative fluidised catalytic bed comprising a particulate Fischer- Tropsch catalyst having a density of greater than 4,000 kg/m '. Advantages of employing an aggregative fluidised cata- 5 lytic bed include: 1. The process being less constrained by the size of the catalyst particles and by the liquid fluidising velocity. In particular, an aggregative fluidised bed can be operated using a wide catalyst size distribution and/or with a liquid 10 fluidising velocity above the terminal fall velocity, U" of the catalyst particles. 2. The presence of the "liquid bubbles" promote solid mixing within the fluidised bed. 3. The aggregative behaviour of the fluidised bed breaks up 15 bubbles of synthesis gas thereby increasing both the mass transfer rate and the effective utilisation of the catalyst. 4. The process can be operated with a smaller catalytic bed than is employed in a conventional particulate fluidised bed process. Suitably, the particulate Fischer- Tropsch catalyst is maintained in an aggregative fluidised state by the action of the flow of fluidising liquid through the reaction zone. Suitably, the rate of flow of fluidising liquid through the reaction zone is equal to or greater than the minimum fluidising velocity. 25 Suitably, the fluidising liquid comprises a hydrocarbon solvent. Preferably, the hydrocarbon solvent of the fluidising liquid may be one or more of the liquid hydrocarbon products which has an advantage that there is no requirement to separate the liquid hydrocarbon products from the 30 hydrocarbon solvent. Preferably, the hydrocarbon solvent of the fluidising liquid is a high boiling hydrocarbon solvent. By high boiling hydrocarbon solvent is meant a hydrocarbon solvent having a boiling point, at standard pressure, of greater than 280° C. Preferably, the liquid hydrocarbon products comprise a mixture of hydrocarbons having a chain length of greater than 5 carbon atoms. Suitably, the liquid hydrocarbon products comprise a mixture of hydrocarbons having chain lengths of from 5 to about 90 carbon atoms. Preferably, a 40 major amount, for example, greater than 60% by weight, of the hydrocarbons have chain lengths of from 5 to 30 carbon atoms. A low boiling solvent may also be introduced into the reaction zone. By low boiling solvent is meant a solvent having a boiling point, at standard pressure, in the range of from 30 to 280° c., preferably from 30 to 210° C. Preferably, the low boiling solvent is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms, alcohols (preferably, alcohols having from 1 to 4 carbon 50 atoms, in particular, methanol), and water. In order to simplify the process, it is preferred that the low boiling solvent is a low boiling liquid hydrocarbon product or mixtures thereof. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that vaporisation of the low boiling solvent in the reaction zone aids and enhances the mixing of the synthesis gas (hereinafter referred to as "syngas"), fluidising liquid and the particulate catalyst thereby increasing conversion of syngas to liquid hydrocarbon products. Moreover, vaporisation of the low boiling solvent will remove some of the exothermic heat of reaction thereby allowing more control over the product selectivities and minimising the production of gaseous by-products, for example, methane. The aggregative fluidised bed may also be cooled within the reaction zone by means of a heat exchanger, for example, heat transfer tubes, positioned within the aggregative flui- dised bed, to assist in removing exothermic heat of reaction from the system. A further advantage of an aggregative fluidised bed is that the presence of the "liquid bubbles" improves heat transfer to the heat transfer tubes. In a first embodiment of the process of the present invention, a liquid stream containing entrained catalyst particles is withdrawn from the reaction zone and is passed to an external solid-liquid separator (for example, a filter, hydrocyclone or gravity separator) where the entrained catalyst particles are separated from the liquid stream thereby generating a substantially catalyst-free liquid stream (hereinafter "catalyst-free liquid stream"). Preferably, the separated catalyst particles are recycled from the external solid-liquid separator to the reaction zone as a concentrated slurry. The catalyst-free liquid stream is then passed from the external solid-liquid separator to a gas-liquid separator where a gaseous phase comprising unconverted syngas is separated from the catalyst-free liquid stream. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, the liquid 20 stream which is withdrawn from the reaction zone will contain entrained catalyst particles when (a) the liquid fluidizing velocity is substantially greater than the terminal fall velocity (U ,) of the largest catalyst particles in the bed and/or (b) the catalyst has a particle size distribution such that a proportion, preferably, a substantial proportion, of the catalyst particles have a U, below the liquid fluidizing velocity. Alternatively, in a second embodiment of the process of the present invention, the reaction zone may be provided with an internal solid-liquid separator (for example, a filter, hydrocyclone or gravity separator). Suitably, the internal solid-liquid separator is positioned in the upper part of the reaction zone. Preferably, the internal solid-liquid separator is in communication with a catalyst-free zone. Catalyst 35 particles are retained by the internal solid-liquid separator and catalyst-free liquid is passed, usually under pressure, from the internal solid-liquid separator to the catalyst-free zone. Preferably, the catalyst-free zone has a headspace above the level of the catalyst-free liquid. A gaseous phase comprising unconverted syngas separates from the catalystfree liquid and accumulates in the headspace of the catalyst- free zone so that the catalyst-free zone acts as a gas-liquid separator. A gaseous stream comprising unconverted syngas is withdrawn from the headspace of the catalyst-free zone 45 and a catalyst-free liquid stream is withdrawn from below the level of the catalyst-free liquid in the catalyst-free zone, for example, immediately after the solid-liquid separator. Suitably, the reaction zone and catalyst-free zone are zones within a Fischer-Tropsch reaction vessel. Where the aggregative fluidised bed is partially expanded there is no requirement for a solid-liquid separator since catalyst-free liquid will be present in the reaction zone above the surface of the partially expanded bed. Expansion of an aggregative fluidised bed can be controlled by adjusting one 55 or more of the following parameters: the liquid fluidising velocity, the rate of flow of gas through the aggregative fluidised bed, the catalyst particle size distribution and the density of the particulate catalyst. Thus, in a third embodiment of the process of the present 60 invention, a partially expanded aggregative fluidised bed (having catalyst-free liquid above the surface of the bed) is maintained in the reaction zone and a headspace is present in the reaction zone above the level of the catalyst-free liquid. A catalyst-free liquid stream is withdrawn from a 65 region of the reaction zone which is above the surface of the partially expanded bed and below the level of the catalystfree liquid. A gaseous phase comprising unconverted syngas 5 US 6,716,887 B2 6 separates from the catalyst-free liquid and accumulates in the headspace. Suitably, a gaseous stream comprising unconverted syngas is withdrawn from the headspace of the reaction zone. Alternatively, in a fourth embodiment of the process of the present invention, a partially expanded aggregative fiuidised bed (having catalyst-free liquid above the surface of the bed) is maintained in a reaction zone in the absence of a headspace. The reaction zone is in communication with a catalyst-free zone and catalyst-free liquid is passed, usually under pressure, from a region of the reaction zone which is above the surface of the partially expanded bed into the catalyst-free zone. Preferably, a headspace is present in the catalyst-free zone above the level of catalyst-free liquid. A gaseous phase comprising unconverted syngas separates from the catalyst-free liquid and accumulates in the headspace of the catalyst-free zone. Suitably, a gaseous stream comprising unconverted synthesis gas is withdrawn from the headspace and a catalyst-free liquid stream is withdrawn from below the level of catalyst-free liquid in the catalystfree zone. Preferably, at least a portion of the catalyst-free liquid stream (from the first, second or third embodiments of the present invention) is recycled to the reaction zone. Typically, the catalyst-free liquid stream is cooled, for example, by 25 being passed through a heat exchanger, before being recycled to the reaction zone. It is envisaged that the catalyst-free liquid stream will contain residual gases/ vapours (unconverted syngas, gaseous by-products, gaseous intermediate products, vaporised low boiling liquid hydro- 30 carbon products, vaporised water by-product and any vaporised low boiling solvent) in which case low boiling liquid hydrocarbon products, water by-product and any low boiling solvent may condense in the heat exchanger. Residual gases may be separated from the catalyst-free liquid stream (and 35 condensed liquid) in a gas-liquid separator, for example, a hydrocyclone. A gaseous stream from the gas-liquid separator may be recycled to the reaction zone and/or purged from the system. A liquid recycle stream is returned to the reaction zone (fiuidising liquid) from the gas-liquid separa- 40 tor via a liquid pump. Suitably, a product side stream is taken from the liquid recycle stream downstream of the liquid pump and is passed to a product purification stage (described below). A further advantage of the process of the present invention is that fiuidising liquid and not a suspension of 45 particulate catalyst particles in the fiuidising liquid is recycled to the reaction zone which reduces the duty on the liquid pump (size and power requirements). Preferably, at least a portion of the gaseous stream comprising unconverted syngas which is withdrawn: (i) from the headspace of the catalyst-free zone (second and fourth embodiments of the process of the present invention), (ii) from the headspace of the reaction zone (third embodiment of the process of the present invention), or (iii) from the external gas-liquid separator (first embodiment of the process of the present invention), is recycled to the reaction zone (hereinafter referred to as "gaseous recycle stream"). The gaseous recycle stream additionally comprises gas- 60 eous intermediate hydrocarbon products (gaseous products having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, in particular, ethane or propanes), vaporised low boiling liquid hydrocarbon products (e.g. pentanes, hexanes or hexenes), vaporised water by-product, and any vaporised low boiling solvent. The gaseous recycle stream is preferably cooled before being recycled to the reaction zone, for example, by passing the separated gaseous stream through a heat exchanger, to further assist in the removal of exothermic heat of reaction from the system. The gaseous recycle stream may be cooled to below its dew point to form a two phase mixture of gas 5 (syngas, methane by-product, intermediate gaseous hydrocarbons) and condensed liquid (water by-product, low boiling liquid hydrocarbon products and any low boiling solvent). The condensed liquid may be recycled to the reaction zone entrained in the gaseous recycle stream. 10 Alternatively, the condensed liquid may be separated from the gaseous recycle stream, for example, using a suitable gas-liquid separation means (e.g. a hydrocyclone, demister, gravity separator) and is recycled to the reaction zone, for example, using a nozzle. Preferably, excess water 15 by-product is removed from the separated condensed liquids using a suitable separation means (e.g. a decanter), before recycling the condensed liquids to the reaction zone. It is envisaged that the heat exchanger and gas-liquid separation means may be combined within a single vessel in order to 20 simplify recycling of the gaseous stream to the reaction zone. Fresh syngas may be fed to the gaseous recycle stream, either upstream or downstream of the heat exchanger. Where the syngas has not been pre-cooled, it is preferred that the syngas is fed to the gaseous recycle stream upstream of the heat exchanger. Preferably, the gaseous recycle stream is recycled to the reaction zone via a blower or compressor located downstream of the heat exchanger. Suitably, the gaseous recycle stream is fed to the reaction zone via a gas sparger. Preferably, a purge stream is taken from the gaseous recycle stream to prevent the accumulation of gaseous by-products, for example, methane, in the system. If desired, any gaseous intermediate products may be separated from the purge stream. Preferably, such gaseous intermediate products are recycled to the system where they may be converted to liquid hydrocarbon products. Preferably, the purge stream is taken downstream of the heat exchanger. Preferably, the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide of the syngas used in the process of the present invention is in the range of from 1:1 to 3:1 by volume, typically 2:1 by volume. Impurities such as methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water may be present in the syngas. The synthesis gas may be prepared using any of the processes known in the art including partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, steam reforming, and autothermal reforming. A discussion of these synthesis gas production technologies is provided in "Hydrocarbon Processing" V78, NA, 87-90, 92-93 (April 1999) and "Petrole et Techniques", N. 415, 50 86-93 (July-August 1998). It is also envisaged that the synthesis gas may be obtained by catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbons in a microstructured reactor as exemplified in "IMRET 3: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Microreaction Technology", Editor W Ehrfeld, 55 Springer Verlag, 1999, pages 187-196. Alternatively, the synthesis gas may be obtained by short contact time catalytic partial oxidation of hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks as described in EP 0303438. Preferably, the synthesis gas is obtained via a "Compact Reformer" process as described in "Hydrocarbon Engineering", 2000, 5, (5), 67-69; "Hydrocarbon Processing", 79/9, 34 (September 2000); "Today's Refinery", 15/8, 9 (August 2000); WO 99/02254; and WO 200023689. The catalyst which is employed in the process of the 65 present invention may comprise any catalyst known to be active in Fischer- Tropsch synthesis which has a density of greater than 4,000 kg/m '. For example, Group VIII metals 7 US 6,716,887 B2 8 whether supported or unsupported are known FischerTropsch catalysts. Of these iron, cobalt and ruthenium are preferred, particularly iron and cobalt, most particularly cobalt. A preferred catalyst is supported on a support Preferred supports include cobalt metal and iron metal. Suitably, the catalyst is coated onto the support. Typically, the coating is from sub-micron to several microns thickness. The catalytic metal is present in catalytically active amounts in the coating usually about 1-100 wt %, the upper limit being attained in the case of iron based catalysts. Preferably, the amount of catalytic metal in the coating is about 2-40 wt %. Promoters may be added to the catalyst and are well known in the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst art. Promoters can include ruthenium (when it is not the primary catalyst metal), rhenium, hafnium, cerium, and zirconium, 15 and are usually present in amounts less than the primary catalytic metal (except for ruthenium which may be present in coequal amounts), but the promoter:metal ratio should be at least 1:10. Preferred promoters are rhenium and hafnium. A further advantage of the process of the present inven- 20 tion is that a wide size distribution of catalyst particle sizes can be employed compared with a conventional slurry process. Typically, the catalyst has a mean particle size in the range of from 20 to 1500 microns, preferably, 50 to 350 microns. Suitably, the liquid recycle stream is introduced at or near the bottom of the reaction zone. Suitably, gas (gaseous recycle stream and any fresh syngas) is sparged into the reaction zone through a sparger. Preferably, the sparger is positioned near the bottom of the reaction zone. 30 Preferably, the gas which is fed to the reaction zone comprises from 50 to 100% by volume of fresh syngas (make-up syngas). Preferably, the aggregative fiuidised bed has a diameter of less than 10 meters, for example, in the range of 0.5 to 8 35 meters and a height of less than 15 meters, for example, in the range of 1 to 10 meters. The present invention can be operated in batch or continuous mode, the latter is preferred. In a continuous process a product side stream is continu- 40 ously removed from the liquid recycle stream and is passed to a product separation stage. In the product separation stage, liquid medium and liquid hydrocarbon products are separated from any fines (any catalyst particles which are carried over from the internal or external solid-liquid 45 separator). The product separation stage comprises a suitable solid-liquid separation means. Examples of suitable liquid-solid separation means include hydrocyclones, filters, gravity separators and magnetic separators. Alternatively, the liquid medium and liquid hydrocarbon products may be 50 separated from the fines by distillation. Preferably, there are two or more product side stream withdrawal lines leading to dedicated solid-liquid separation means. This ensures continuous operation of the process by allowing one or more of the solid-liquid separation means to be taken off-line for 55 cleaning. The separated fines may be removed from the process or may be recycled from the solid-liquid separation means to the reaction zone. The separated liquid (liquid medium, liquid hydrocarbon products, any low boiling hydrocarbon solvent and any water by-product) is passed to 60 a product purification stage. As discussed above, the purification stage may be simplified by using a liquid hydrocarbon product as the liquid medium which eliminates the requirement to separate the liquid medium from the liquid hydrocarbon products. In the purification stage, any water 65 by-product is removed from the liquid hydrocarbon prod- ucts. In order to prevent the accumulation of water by-product in the system it is preferred that at least a portion of the water by-product is removed from the liquid recycle stream. This may be achieved by taking a side stream from the liquid 5 recycle stream. Water by-product is removed from the side stream (for example, using a decanter) before returning the side stream to the reaction zone. It is envisaged that removal of water by-product from the system can be incorporated into the product purification stage, by recycling a portion of 10 the separated liquids, from which water has been removed, back to the reaction zone. The process of the invention is preferably carried out at a temperature of 180-280° c., more preferably 190-240° C. The process of the invention is preferably carried out at a pressure of 5-50 bar, more preferably 15-35 bar, generally 20-30 bar. The liquid hydrocarbon products from the product puri- fication stage may be fed to a hydrocracking stage, for example, a catalytic hydrocracking stage which employs a catalyst comprising a metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel and tungsten sup- ported on a support material such as alumina, silica-alumina or a zeolite. Preferably, the catalyst comprises cobalt! molybdenum or nickel/molybdenum supported on alumina 25 or silica -alumina. Suitable hydro cracking catalysts include catalysts supplied by Akzo Nobel, Criterion, Chevron, or UOP. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING The invention will now be illustrated with the aid of a FIGURE. Reactor vessel (1) comprises a reaction zone (2) and a catalyst-free zone (3). An aggregative fiuidised catalytic bed (4) comprising a catalyst having a density of greater than 4,000 kg/m:' fills the whole of the reaction zone (1). A headspace (5) is present in the catalyst-free zone (3) above the level (6) of catalyst-free fiuidising liquid. The reaction zone (2) is maintained at a temperature of from 180 to 280° C. and at a pressure of from 5 to 50 bar. Cooling coils (7) are positioned within the aggregative fiuidised bed to assist in removal of exothermic heat of reaction. Syngas is sparged into the reaction zone (2) via a sparger (8). An internal hydrocyclone (9) is positioned in the upper part of the reaction zone to separate catalyst particles from the fiuidising liquid. Fluidising liquid is withdrawn after the internal hydrocyclone (9) via a line (10) and is passed through heat exchanger (11) which further assists in removing exothermic heat of reaction. The fiuidising liquid is passed from the heat exchanger (11) to a gas-liquid separator (12) via line (13) where residual gas is separated from the fiuidising liquid. A gaseous stream is withdrawn from the gas-liquid separator (12) via line (14). The gaseous stream may be recycled to the reaction zone and/or purged from the system (not shown). A liquid recycle stream, is also withdrawn from the gas-liquid separator (12) and is recycled to the reaction zone (2) via line (15), liquid pump (16) and line (17). A product side stream (18) may be taken from the liquid recycle stream downstream of liquid pump (16) and is passed to product separation and purification stages (not shown). A gaseous recycle stream comprising unconverted syngas, gaseous intermediate products, any vaporised low boiling solvent, any vaporised low boiling liquid hydrocarbon products and any vaporised water by-product may be withdrawn from the headspace (5) through line (19). By means of a heat exchanger (20), the gaseous recycle stream may be cooled to 9 US 6,716,887 B2 10 a temperature at which liquid condenses out. The condensed liquid (typically comprising low boiling hydrocarbon products, water by-product and any low boiling solvent) may be separated from the gaseous recycle stream in a gas-liquid separator (21). The condensed liquid may be withdrawn from the gas-liquid separator (21) via line (22) and may subsequently be recycled to the reaction zone (2), optionally after having removed water by-product (not shown). The gaseous recycle stream from the gas-liquid separator (21) is recycled to the reaction zone (2) via line (23), compressor/blower (24) and lines (25) and (26). A purge stream may be taken from the gaseous recycle stream via line (27) to prevent the build up of gaseous by-products (e.g. methane) in the reaction zone (2). Fresh syngas may be introduced to the sparger (S) via line (2S). We claim: 1.

A Student Wonders Why We Hate in the Yale Daily News | A Blogspotting Anglican Episcopalian ← One of Andrew Sullivan’s Readers Wrote My my says the Trentonian about “High Minded Progressives” → A Student Wonders Why We Hate in the Yale Daily News Posted on September 17, 2010 by Dan Alex Klein, a junior in Davepnort College, writes in the Yale Daily News (Friday, September 17, 2010): “I wonder whether I need honor these people [Muslim Americans] and pretend they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment, which I have, in my gut, the sense that they will abuse.” Here, I quote Martin Peretz, editor-in-chief of the New Republic unjustly — by citing a sentence out-of-context for which he has apologized. Then again, an unusually animated Nick Kristof did worse, calling Peretz’s blog post — and all anti-Park51 activists — “venomous and debased.” On the anniversary of September 11, he asked, “Is this America?” How did we get here? To levelheaded intellectuals reduced to faux-patriotic one-upmanship? To planned Quran burnings, stabbed Muslim cabbies and a New York City where one-in-three residents think Muslim-Americans are “more sympathetic to terrorists” than the rest of us? You may already have an answer, an explanation for this sudden Islamophobic convulsion. In a word, Park51: the proposed Muslim community center and mosque less than 600 feet from where the Twin Towers stood, nine years and six days ago. But it has been a long time since supporters and opponents of a political project have so fundamentally misunderstood one another. Read on.

It is the love the father feels for his son, a love as deep and acute as his grief, that could surprise readers of McCarthy's previous work . . . McCarthy has always written about the battle between light and darkness; the darkness usually comprises 99.9% of the world, while any illumination is the weak shaft thrown by a penlight running low on batteries. In The Road, those batteries are almost out-the entire world is, quite literally, dying-so the final affirmation of hope in the novel's closing pages is all the more shocking and maybe all the more enduring as the boy takes all of his father's (and McCarthy's) rage at the hopeless folly of man and lays it down, lifting up, in its place, the oddest of all things: faith." -Dennis Lehane, Amazon.com "Cormac McCarthy [is] the elemental prose stylist of our time . . . [His] chilling tenth novel is unlike anything he's ever written . . . [The Road] is an adventure . . . the sort of book that, if only for the relentless clarity of the writing, the lucid descriptions of the grasses, the mud, the thorns, and the very arc of the road that cuts through all that, presents a clear and episodic progress from one small terror to the next . . . You should read this book because it is exactly what a book about our future ought to be." -Tom Chiarella, Esquire (Big Book of the Month) "In this stunning departure from his previous work, McCarthy envisions a postapocalyptic scenario . . . Its spare, precise language is rich with other explorations, too: hope in the face of hopelessness, the ephemeral nature of our existence, the vanishing world we all carry within us. McCarthy evokes Beckett, using repetition and negation to crushing effect, showing us by their absence the things we will miss. Hypnotic and haunting, relentlessly dark, this is a novel to read in late-night solitude. Though the focus never leaves the two travelers, they carry our humanity, and we can't help but feel the world hangs in the balance of their hopeless quest. A masterpiece." -Keir Graff, Booklist (starred) "Even within the author's extraordinary body of work, this stands as a radical achievement, a novel that demands to be read and reread . . . A parable that reads like Night of the Living Dead as rewritten by Samuel Beckett . . . The relationship between father and son has a sweetness that represents all that's good in a universe where conventional notions of good and evil have been extinguished. Amid the bleakness of survival there are glimmers of comedy . . . [McCarthy's] prose combines the cadence of prophecy with the indelible images of poetry. A novel of horrific beauty, where death is the only truth. "[A] postapocalyptic tour de force . . . McCarthy establishes himself here as the closest thing in American literature to an Old Testament prophet, trolling the blackest registers of human emotion to create a haunting and grim novel about civilization's slow death after the power goes out." 3 offers from $130.26 5.0 out of 5 stars like the mystery of the desert I came to this after having seen the movie. It's more sparse, and much more imaginative. In some ways it is more an exploration of philosophy than a novel. It's the risks that the author takes that set this apart. No explanations of the past, no elaboration of the state of the world. Just the tight focus on the journey and the daily struggle. Yes, it's not for the faint hearted. But it asks questions that are very much worth asking. As time goes on, as things develop, it seems increasingly important. 5.0 out of 5 stars Heart breaking yet beautiful story about the love between a father and his son in a seemingly desolate world 1.0 out of 5 stars Awful book. You have been warned! I don’t normally write reviews, but this book is SO bad that I’m making an exception. Why would you even think to write a book like this! There’s no chapters, no names, no speech marks (in fact very little punctuation at all). There are countless made up words. All this and I’m only 60 pages in! I wanted to give it a chance due to all the five star reviews, but it’s just impossible to work out what the hell is going on, and I’m wasting my life trying to take it any further. I cannot understand how it has so many good reviews, I’m starting to think there’s something wrong with me! 1.0 out of 5 stars Vastly overrated I really cannot understand how this book seems to get so many good reviews. In my mind, there is absolutely nothing to commend it. There is minmal plot and characterisation. But, worse than that, the structure and grammar are awful. I am assuming that the reason for a high proportion of "sentences" are not sentences at all, having no verb, was stylistic. The minmalist bleakness is probably meant to highlight the content. But, it just doesn't work. Everything is very disjointed. I am used to reading "difficult" novels but this was barely readable and too pretentious for its own good. The only prize it should have won was the Turner Prize - for rubbish posing as art. 4.0 out of 5 stars stark, stripped back humanity and beauty, but by God, it is bleak The most boring and unnecessarily over written story i’ve ever read. I cant be bothered with over complicated writing nor do i want to resort to google or a thesaurus/dictionary every few pages. The story jumps around like a child’s book from one scene to the next literally in paragraphs. I had no connection to the two or any environmental imagery to feed my immagination, apart from two people in the woods/a road oh a cab no truck oh here’s the trolley....ahh so boring...just stop I’m about 50 pages in and i just cant be bothered reading anymore, what a waste of my time and effort. Plus the binding is shocking, most of the pages have fallen out in a brief spell of heat. Just watch the walking dead or something else, this is just so poorly written. 5.0 out of 5 stars A post-apocalyptic novel induced with religious passion. 3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Typically Read, But It Was ‘Okay’. Drink every time they say ‘Okay’! I read this since it’s one of the books for my Contemporary Writing module. It’s not the kind of story I typically read (i.e. parent-child-centred narratives), but I liked the evocative, sensory descriptions, particularly of the landscapes since they play an important role in the novel. But ‘autistic darkness’? Really? It may have been ‘autistic cold’ but the point is that, speaking as a literary Aspie, ‘autistic’ should be deleted because it’s used incorrectly in the book. Moreover, when paired with words like ‘dark’ and ‘cold’, ‘autistic’ gains negative connotations, which is unhelpful for people like me who are on the spectrum. I checked the publishing date: 2006. I mean, really? How could this have escaped a sensitivity reader’s notice?? I know that general public awareness of autism is appalling as it is, but come on!! The audible narration is great and I recommend getting it and the ebook as I have. I like that the novel isn’t too long, though there was a plot point that I could see from miles away. The audiobook is between 5-6 hours. This book is quite stylistic as the punctuation is sparing (like the various aspects of the post-apocalyptic world in which the story is set) and there are no quotation marks. 5.0 out of 5 stars I was unsure whether I would enjoy this novel but decided to go ahead anyway 5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly Elegant 5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning, harrowing read. 4.0 out of 5 stars Dark days on a dying planet. Cormac McCarthy’s bleak, heart-breaking post-apocalytic novel of the remaining few survivors, scrabbling towards the final, dying days of a wasted, destroyed planet, some time in the very near future would have been a sombre, regret filled read at any time. “It took two days to cross that ashen scabland. The road beyond ran along the crest of a ridge where the barren woodland fell away of every side. It’s snowing, the boy said. He looked at the sky. A single gray flake sifting down. He caught it in his hand and watched it expire there like the last host of Christendom” “The land was gullied and eroded and barren. The bones of dead creatures sprawled in the washes. Middens of anonymous trash. Farmhouses in the fields scoured of their paint and the clapboards spooned and sprung from the wallstuds. All of it shadownless and without feature. The road descended through a jungle of dead kudzu. A marsh where the dead reeds lay over the water. Beyond the edge of the fields the sullen haze hung over earth and sky alike” 4.0 out of 5 stars An Unflinching Gaze into a Future that Could Still Be The plot of The Road both makes the reader wish that the characters could reach their 'objective' (the South) and yet evokes a desire for the man and the boy to take their time to elude the heinous hazards of The Road. The scenery is cinematic and hopelessly bleak, in fact it is mentioned a few times that things are growing darker and colder as time went on. At times it reminded me of the doomed Donner Party expedition: cannibalism and trying to reach a fabled place across a perilous and empty landscape, opportunities to be kind ignored and savage violence becoming commonplace. Other times, I wondered if the man and the boy were a single soul, struggling between wanting to help and needing to protect oneself in such a desperate life. Overall the book is certainly worth a read, though it is quite dense and at parts passages required rereading because of unclear transitions / narrative choices. There are also many geographic and nautical terms that required an extra moment or two to look up. Read on a cold, rainy day for an truly atmospheric experience. Haunting. 1.0 out of 5 stars YAWN!! Terrible book. It took me 10 days to read this, because after the first hour I couldn't bring myself to read it again for another 9 days, but given the amazing reviews and it's boasting of the Pulitzer Prize (plus the fact I'd spent £5 I wound't get back), I thought I must finish it. No chapters, no character names, no background story or explanation as to what had happened to the world, no punctuation and one of the most boring stories I've ever endured. Save yourself a fiver and the time it take to read this rubbish, AVOID!!! 3.0 out of 5 stars Not many end of the world laughs The planet is dying in what might be one the most creditable and topical dystopian ways , given the latest bouts of Extinction Rebellion's demonstrations. It's just shrivelling up and dying. Earth, like a big dog is shaking off it's fleas. But did the writing have to be so dire as the subject matter. And as for the whiney kid's, I'm scared Papa, every other page, like a petulant brat at a supermarket. He clearly wasn't cut out for the Mad Max world and may have benefitted from a mercy killing pretty early on. Apparently the author's artistry also caused him to levitate above the use of 'speech' marks, so one line of dialogue is indistinguishable from prose 5.0 out of 5 stars Heady and compulsive I battled quite a lot with a lot of vocabulary in this story as I wanted to know the meanings of the words. However, the emotions that this story elicited were extremely both upsetting and sometimes uplifting. A story of a scary and thought provoking possible future scenario that God forbid could befall all of us. The loving relationship between the father and his young son, is so tender and touching, that it is actually heart rendering. In short, a masterpiece!

How Vishal Gupta of mycity4kids pulled up after his only investor backed out - The Economic Times Election Results updates: Narendra Modi gains lead in Varanasi, Rahul trailing in Amethi Election Results Winners & Losers: Rahul Gandhi trails in Amethi in early trends Business News›Magazines›How Vishal Gupta of mycity4kids pulled up after his only investor backed out How Vishal Gupta of mycity4kids pulled up after his only investor backed out There were two big lessons from the whole experience: first, conviction is vital. Secondly, when you’re pushed against a wall, survival depends on doing things differently. Updated: Jul 13, 2012, 04.42 AM IST This January, we got quite a shock when our investor backed out of their Rs 5 crore proposed investment in our firm. Despite having signed a term sheet, they pulled out saying the market for our services wasn’t as large as they initially thought. For the first couple of hours, it was extremely depressing. But the gloom was followed, just a few hours later, by a period of total clarity. I first acknowledged two inescapable facts – a) we had not been successful in raising funds with the existing business model and b) we had 60 days, probably less, in which to enhance the business model AND raise monies or else we’d simply run out of fuel. We also made a plan to execute the one thing we had thought of doing for a while but had not quite gotten down to doing and put all our resources behind it. Until then, our website allowed parents to search for any kids-related resources in the city and get recommendations from other parents. We helped them shortlist places but did not quite enable them to complete the purchase process online. This was the missing link and so we added a functionality whereby parents could book a workshop or pay the regular fees, either online or by availing the cash pick-up service or even over the phone. We therefore transitioned into a marketplace. The online booking functionality was started with an event to which 80% of the tickets were sold through our website. This kept gathering traction and very soon, we were able to find an angel fund, Yournest, which saw the potential in what were now doing and decided to make an investment in our company. There were two big lessons from the whole experience: first, conviction is vital. So if you’re convinced, others will be too. Secondly, when you’re pushed against a wall, survival depends on doing things differently. - As told to Nikhil Menon Vishal Gupta takes a break from the corner office to play tennis with Bharat Puri, Patrik Antoni Plan to spend Rs 300 cr on land procurement this year: Vishal Gupta, Ashiana Housing

Read More With the final phase of the European Monetary Union underway, concern has been raised over the regional implications of the European Central Bank (ECB) Monetary Policy. Departing from the standard approach utilized by the ECB, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework to explore the ways through which money and monetary policy may affect regions. Carlos Rodriguez Fuentes, the rising star of Spanish economics, has produced a work of impressive clarity which analyzes the effects of regional monetary policy - with particular reference to European Monetary Union. Here, he examines the role that the banking system and the liquidity preference of economic agents play in the transmission of central banks monetary policy decisions to regions within a country or countries within a currency union. Rodriguez Fuentes utilizes a unique framework built upon the basic principle of the Post-Keynsian monetary theory which enables the identification of a new way for money and monetary policy to have a regional impact; the behavioural effect. This book, with it s combination of literary and empirical approach will prove essential reading for all students of economics and politics, as well as readers who interested in the development of the European Union.

The BJT is forward biased so that the RTD operates at a DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) on its characteristic I-V curve in its negative differential resistance region. The thermal noise inherent in the circuit causes it to start oscillating about the DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) where the RTD's negative resistance R.sub.n provides positive feedback that amplifies the oscillations until equilibrium is established thereby producing a sinusoidal waveform. The low power BJT/RTD oscillator operates at power levels approximately one-tenth those of known integrated feedback oscillators and oscillates at frequencies in the hundreds of Ghz range that are currently only achievable using waveguide oscillators. 5. An oscillator circuit comprising:a ground terminal; a supply terminal; an output terminal; an npn bipolar junction transistor (BJT) having a base, a collector connected to said output terminal, and an emitter; an inductor that is connected between said ground terminal and said BJT's emitter; and a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) that is connected between said supply terminal and said BJT's collector, said RTD having a characteristic I-V curve that has positive and negative differential resistance regions that respectively lie at voltage levels below and above a peak voltage level V.sub.P, supply and bias voltages respectively applied at said supply terminal and the base of said BJT biasing said RTD at a DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) on its characteristic I-V curve in its negative differential resistance region and forward biasing said BJT so that its average collector current is approximately equal to the current I.sub.Q at the DC operating point, said RTD producing a negative resistance seen looking into said BJT from said output terminal, the thermal noise inherent in said BJT causing said oscillator circuit to start oscillating about the DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) where the RTD's negative differential resistance provides positive feedback that amplifies the oscillations until equilibrium is established, thereby producing a sinusoidal waveform at an oscillation frequency that is a function of said inductor at said output terminal. 6. The oscillator circuit of claim 5, further comprising a low voltage battery and a voltage divider for providing the supply and bias voltages. 11. A method of providing an oscillating waveform, comprising:providing a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), an inductor, and a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) that are configured to define a negative resistance oscillator circuit with the RTD connected to the BJT's collector and the oscillator circuit producing an output at the junction of the RTD and BJT, said RTD having a characteristic I-V curve that has positive and negative differential resistance regions; and forward biasing said BJT so that said RTD operates at a DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) on its characteristic I-V curve in its negative differential resistance region and produces a negative resistance seen looking into said BJT from said output, the thermal noise inherent in said oscillator circuit causing it to start oscillating about the DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) where the RTD's negative differential resistance provides positive feedback that amplifies the oscillations until equilibrium is established, thereby producing a sinusoidal waveform at an oscillation frequency that is a function of said inductor. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said RTD's I-V curve is non-linear in its negative differential resistance region so that different DC operating points (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) have different negative differential resistances that change the frequency of the sinusoidal waveform, further comprising:varying the current I.sub.Q flowing through said RTD to vary the negative differential resistance and thus set the waveform's frequency within a range defined by a fixed capacitance C.sub.RTD, the BJT's transconductance g.sub.m, input resistance r.sub.π, output resistance r.sub.0, and the inductance L seen at the output terminal and the range of values for the negative differential resistance averaged over a cycle. 13. A method of providing an oscillating waveform, comprising:providing an oscillator circuit, comprising:a ground terminal; a supply terminal; an output terminal; an npn bipolar junction transistor (BJT) having a base, a collector connected to said output terminal, and an emitter; an inductor that is connected between said ground terminal and said BJT's emitter; and a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) that is connected between said supply terminal and said BJT's collector, said RTD having a characteristic I-V curve that has positive and negative differential resistance regions that respectively lie at voltage levels below and above a peak voltage level V.sub.P ; selecting a DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) in the RTD's negative differential resistance region; applying a bias voltage to the base of the BJT to forward bias the BJT so that its average collector current is approximately equal to the current I.sub.Q flowing through the RTD at the selected DC operating point, said RTD producing a negative resistance seen looking into said BJT from said output terminal; and applying a supply voltage to the supply terminal that sets the DC voltage across the RTD equal to the voltage V.sub.Q at the selected DC operating point, the thermal noise inherent in said BJT causing said oscillator circuit to start oscillating about the DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) where the RTD's negative differential resistance provides positive feedback that amplifies the oscillations until equilibrium is established, thereby producing a sinusoidal voltage waveform at an oscillation frequency that is a function of said inductor at said output terminal. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein said RTD's I-V curve is non-linear in its negative differential resistance region so that different DC operating points (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) have different negative differential resistances that change the frequency of the sinusoidal waveform, further comprising:varying the DC operating point (I.sub.Q,V.sub.Q) to vary the negative differential resistance and thus set the waveform's frequency within a range defined by the fixed values of the RTD's capacitance C.sub.RTD, and the BJT's transconductance g.sub.m, input resistance r.sub.π, output resistance r.sub.0, and the inductance L seen at the output terminal and the range of values for the negative differential resistance averaged over a cycle.

The method permits cash drawers to be constructed (206) and/or replenished with coins from a perpetual inventory of loose coins rather than requiring the use of rolled coins. A perpetual inventory of coins is created (200) by one or a combination of several methods such as purchasing bulk coins from a bank, or retrieving coins from vending machines, coin redemption system machines, and/or cash drawers. Once the initial value of the coin inventory is calculated (202), cash drawers can be constructed (206) or replenished using the coin inventory. After cash drawerss are constructed (206) or repenished, the value of the remaining perpetual coin inventory is updated (208). METHOD AND COMPUTER PRQGRAM FOR BUILDING AND REPLENISHING CASH DRAWERS WITH COINS Grocery stores and other retail and wholesale establishments use cash registers to ring up sales and collect money from customers. Cash drawers or tills from these cash registers must be regularly reconciled or balanced at the end of shifts to ensure that the money in the cash drawers matches sales figures for the cash registers. Cash drawers must also be rebuilt or constructed in preparation for cashiers starting new shifts. Most stores typically balance and construct cash drawers with back office accounting personnel who manually remove and count the money from cash drawers after cashiers' shifts have ended and manually count and add money to new cash drawers. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that such manual methods of balancing and constructing cash drawers are very time consuming and often lead to miscounting errors. For large stores that regularly balance and construct many cash drawers every day, the costs associated with such cash drawer balancing and construction can be substantial. Another problem with prior art systems and methods of cash drawer balancing and reconciliation is the need to repeatedly perform pick-ups (the removal of excess cash from cash drawers for security reasons), loans (the addition of extra cash into cash drawers for change-making purposes), and/or the purchase of additional change by cashiers. Pick-ups, loans, and change purchasing procedures typically involve several employees and therefore use a considerable amount of labor, especially for large stores. Another problem with prior art systems and methods of cash drawer balancing and reconciliation is they use rolled coins to construct or rebuild cash drawers with an adequate amount of coins to make change. The use of rolled coins is undesirable for several reasons. First, rolled coins are expensive and/or require a great deal of labor to obtain. If rolled coins are purchased from banks, a fee of 30-100 for each roll is typically charged because banks must purchase and operate expensive automated coin sorting machines to sort, count, and roll the coins prior to purchase. These charges can be significant for stores that have many cash registers and therefore need a large and steady supply of rolled coins. Stores may also obtain rolled coins by emptying, sorting, counting, and rolling coins from store-owned or serviced vending machines, coin-operated copiers, and other coin-operated equipment. Although this saves the fees charged by banks for rolled coins, these procedures are very labor intensive. Second, rolls of coins are difficult to open, especially when wrapped in newer- type plastic sleeves, resulting in increased labor costs when adding coins to cash drawers. Third, once rolls of coins are unwrapped and placed into cash drawers, they must typically be manually recounted when the cash drawers are balanced. In one preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention, an inventory of loose coins is created and maintained. The inventory may be created from bags of loose coins purchased from a bank, .loose coins retrieved from a vending machine or coin redemption system (CRS) machines, loose coins removed from cash drawers at the end of shifts, or any combination of these sources. An initial value of the loose coins in the inventory is determined and stored in a computing device. When a cash drawer is ready to be constructed or replenished, coins are removed from the inventory and placed in the cash drawer. The value of loose coins removed from the inventory and an updated value of the loose coins remaining in the inventory is determined and stored in the computing device so as to maintain an accurate, on-going count of the value of the loose coins in the inventory, thus creating a "perpetual inventory." The value of loose coins removed from the inventory and placed in the cash drawer is preferably automatically determined by a computer program that receives weight signals from a scale on which the cash drawer is placed. By constructing and using a perpetual inventory of loose coins to balance, construct, and replenish coins in cash drawers, a store will no longer need to purchase rolls of coins from banks, unwrap the rolls of coins, sort, count, and re-wrap excess coins. The perpetual inventory of loose coins also permits stores to quickly and accurately track the quantity of loose coins in inventory so as to maintain an adequate supply of loose coins for use in constructing and replenishing cash drawers without purchasing an excess supply of coins. The above-described method is preferably incorporated into a cash drawer balancing and reconciliation method and system. The overall method may be implemented with a computer program stored on a computer-readable media for directing operation of a computer. In one embodiment, the computer first prompts an operator to remove revenue from a first cash drawer that was used by a cashier after a break or shift and to place the revenue in or on a second, initially empty cash drawer that is placed on a weigh scale. The computer receives weight measurements from the weigh scale as revenue is placed in or on the second cash drawer, and based on these weight indications, counts the revenue as it is added to the second cash drawer. The computer continues to prompt the operator to add revenue to the second cash drawer until target amounts of each denomination have been reached, if available from the cash drawer being counted. After the target amounts have been added, the computer prompts the operator to remove any remaining revenue from the first cash drawer and to place it on top of the second cash drawer or directly on the scale. The computer receives from the scale an indication of the weight of the remaining revenue as it is placed on the weigh scale and counts this remaining revenue based on the weight indication. The present invention is faster, more accurate, and easier to use than prior art methods and systems because revenue is weighed and automatically counted by a computer rather than manually counted by accounting personnel. The present invention also permits an operator to simultaneously reconcile or balance a first cash drawer after a cashier's shift or break and construct or build a second cash drawer to be used by a cashier needing a fresh till. Applicant has discovered that the present invention reduces the labor time for balancing or reconciling a cash drawer from an average of 15 - 45 minutes to only three minutes or less. Moreover, unlike prior art revenue balancing methods and systems, the present invention simultaneously constructs a new cash drawer during this approximate three-minute time. The elimination of rolls of coins also saves stores a considerable amount of expense, labor costs, and time. These and other important aspects of the present invention are described more fully in the detailed description below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES The present invention can be used to reconcile, balance, or count any types of revenue contained in cash drawers or tills. As used herein, the term "revenue" may include paper cash, coins, checks, credit card receipts, coupons, travelers' checks, food stamps, and any other financial instruments. The term "revenue" may also include user-configurable financial instruments such as in-store coupons. The different types of revenue may also be referred to as "fields" of revenue herein. For example, the computer program of the present invention may include fields for cash, checks, and credit cards. An operator or administrator can define an unlimited number of fields of revenue and can change the nature of all fields. Each type of revenue may include different denominations. For example, paper cash revenue may include denominations of $1 bills, $5 bills, $10 bills, $20 bills, $50 bills, and $100 bills. Similarly, coins may include denominations for pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar coins. The revenue is not limited to U.S. currencies, but may include currencies from any country's monetary system. As with the fields of revenue, the denominations may be configured by authorized management under password protection. The term "cash drawer" may include cash drawers or tills used in cash registers or any other type of drawer, holder, or enclosure that is used to hold, receive, and dispense revenue in connection with sales. As used herein, "cash drawer" and "till" are one and the same. The present invention can be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof. In a preferred embodiment, however, the invention is implemented with a computer program that operates the computer equipment broadly referred to by the numeral 10 in Fig. 1. The preferred computer equipment 10 includes a computer 12, a weigh scale 14, a coin sorting and counting machine 15, an encoder 16, a printer 18, and a point-of-sale (POS) system 20. The components of the computer equipment 10 are preferably housed in or on a metal cabinet and stand for ease of use and protection. The computer program and computer equipment 10 illustrated and described herein are merely examples of a program and equipment that may be used to implement the present invention and may be replaced with other software and computer equipment without departing from the scope of the present invention. Certain aspects of the present invention are described in more detail in a co-pending patent application entitled "Revenue Balancing Method and Computer Program", Serial No. 09/616,401 , filed July 14, 2000, hereby incorporated into the present application by specific reference. The coin sorter/counter 15 is coupled with the computer 12 through a serial, parallel, or USB port on the computer 12 and may be used for sorting and counting loose coins. The coin sorter/counter may be used instead of, orwith, the weigh scale 14 to count loose coins that are maintained in an inventory of loose coins as described below. An example of a coin sorter/counter that may be used with the present invention is the Jet Sort 1000 series coin sorter/counter manufactured by the Cummins/Allison Corporation. The POS system 20 is coupled with the computer 12 via a POS system interface. The POS system 20 communicates with the cash registers in a store and provides inputs to the computer 12 as described in more detail below. The computer 12 may interface with any POS system such as the IBM Supermarket 1 , Supermarket 5.2, Ace System, or other POS systems manufacturers. Although it is preferred to couple the computer 12 with a POS system 20 as illustrated, the computer program functions without a direct connection to a POS system 20. The computer program of the present invention is stored in or on computer-readable medium residing on or accessible by the computer 12 for instructing the computer 12 and other components of the computer equipment 10 to operate as described herein. The computer program may run in DOS, Windows, or any other operating system environment and preferably comprises an ordered listing of executable instructions for implementing logical functions in the computer 12 and any computing devices coupled with the computer 12. The computer program can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system, processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch the instructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device, and execute the instructions. In the context of this application, a "computer- readable medium" can be any means that can contain, store, communicate, propagate or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The computer-readable medium can be, for example, but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electro-magnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium. More specific, although not inclusive, examples of the computer-readable medium would include the following: an electrical connection having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), an optical fiber, and a portable compact disk read-only memory (CDROM). The computer-readable medium could even be paper or another suitable medium upon which the program is printed, as the program can be electronically captured, via for instance, optical scanning of the paper or other medium, then compiled, interpreted, or otherwise processed in a suitable manner, if necessary, and then stored in a computer memory. Once the computer program is installed, it may be started with a command , such as "cash.exe". The computer program then displays an icon on the desktop of the operating system software of the computer 12. The program then goes through an initialization phase where it checks software protection keys, loads required data from the computer hard drive into memory, sets the monitor 24 display for the correct display mode, loads needed drivers for display types and fonts, and initializes the components coupled with the computer 12. The computer program initially displays a main menu or screen on the monitor 24. The main menu may provide links to various cash balancing functions such as Loans, Pickups, Prepare Cash Deposits, and Safe Countdown. The main menu may also provide links to sub-menus such as Setup Options, Prepare Reports, Prepare Batches, and Prepare Deposits. From the Setup Options menu, an operator may configure various options and flags to their specific needs and desires as described in more detail below. In accordance with one important aspect of the present invention, the computer program includes a routine or portion that permits an operator to simultaneously balance or reconcile a first cash drawer that has been used by a cashier and construct an initially empty second cash drawer that will be used by a cashier for a future shift. To begin a cash drawer balancing and construction process, an operator first enters an operator identification (ID) number and a cashier ID number into an ID window on the main screen. Operator ID numbers are typically assigned to accounting personnel who are authorized to balance, reconcile, and construct cash drawers. Cashier ID numbers are typically assigned to all authorized cashiers in a store. The terms "operator" and "cashier" are user-definable aspects of the program. The computer program then must receive the "called for" amounts for each different type or field of revenue (i.e., cash, checks, and credit cards) in the cash drawer that is to be balanced. The "called for" amounts indicate the amount of each field of revenue that should be in the cash drawer based on sales information from the cash register. In one embodiment, the computer program prompts the operator to enter the "called for" amounts. In preferred forms, however, the "called for" amounts for each field are received automatically from the store's POS system 20. The computer program also stores and accumulates over/short amounts for each cashier by field of revenue. Used in conjunction with the POS system 20, this accumulated total is used to compute current "called for" amounts for each field of revenue for each cashier. Thus, if an operator balances more than one cash drawer for any cashier, the "called for" amounts will only be reflective of what is expected to be in that particular cash drawer. When the type of cash drawer that is to be constructed is selected and the "called for" amounts for the cash drawer that is to be balanced have been entered or received from the POS system 20, the computer program is ready to begin balancing the first cash drawer and constructing the second cash drawer. An operator may begin such a procedure by placing an initially empty cash drawer on the weigh scale 14. The computer program receives a weight indication from the weigh scale 14, senses that an empty cash drawer has been placed on the weigh scale 14, and displays a "new till" screen. The "new till" screen displays all possible denominations of cash in the first cash drawer and initially lists their value as "0". A first denomination of cash, for example pennies, is highlighted by the computer program. The highlighting of the pennies row in the "new till" screen prompts the operator to remove the pennies till cup from the cash drawer that is to be balanced (first cash drawer) and to place it in the initially empty cash drawer that is to be constructed (second cash drawer). The computer program receives a weight measurement from the weigh scale 14, and based on this weight measurement, counts the number of pennies in the till cup and displays this count in an amount column of the new till screen and automatically moves the highlight bar to nickels. This process is continued for the nickels, dimes, and quarters till cups, resulting in a "new till" screen showing amounts for these coins. The computer program performs validation of weight measurements and only accepts valid amounts. For instance, if a dime is mixed in with the quarters, the discrepancy will be caught by the computer program. The operator will be prompted to remove the till cup and the coins, then replace the empty till cup and shuffle the remaining coins into the cup, visually inspecting that only quarters are being replaced. Audio signals also notify the operator whether weights are accepted or rejected, thus improving the speed of the operation. The computer program next automatically highlights the dollars row in the "new till" screen and lists in a target column the target amount of dollars that should be added to the second cash drawer. The target amount is retrieved from settings for the type of cash drawer that is to be constructed. For example, the target amount may be 35 $1 bills. The highlighting of the dollar row prompts the operator to remove $1 bills from the first cash drawer and to place them in the proper slot of the second cash drawer. As the dollars are placed in the second cash drawer, the computer program receives a weight measurement from the weigh scale 14, counts the $1 bills based on this weight measurement, and displays the count in the amount row of the "new till" screen. The operator should continue to add $1 bills to the second cash drawer until the target amount of $1 bills (e.g., 35) has been reached. If the first cash drawer does not contain enough $1 bills to reach the target amount, the operator should place all of the $1 bills from the first cash drawer into the second cash drawer and simply press the Enter key to continue. The computer program "remembers" how many $1 bills it still needs to meet the target amount so that these $1 bills can be added later as described below. The computer program continues the above process for $5 bills, $10 bills, $20 bills, $50 bills, $100 bills, and any other field configured with a target amount, such as postage stamps, lottery tickets, or any other revenue. After the last target field has been removed from the first cash drawer and placed in the second cash drawer, the computer program removes the "new till" screen and displays a "denominations" screen. At this point, the computer program is ready to count any remaining revenue left in the first cash drawer that was not needed to meet the target amounts of revenue added to the second cash drawer. For example, the first cash drawer may have contained more than 35 $1 bills even though the target amount for $1 bills for the second cash drawer was 35. Although these additional $1 bills were not needed to reach the target amount of $1 bills forthe second cash drawer, they still must be counted as a part of the balance of the first cash drawer. The computer program therefore instructs the operator to remove any remaining revenue from the first cash drawer and to place it on top of the second cash drawer so this remaining revenue may be counted. The operator may do so by highlighting any of the rows in the "denominations" screen and then removing revenue of this denomination from the first cash drawer and placing the revenue on top of the second cash drawer. The revenue should be placed on top of the cash drawer rather than in the cash drawer so that it may be easily removed as discussed in more detail below. The computer program receives weight measurements from the weigh scale 14 and, based on these weight measurements, counts the amount of the revenue that is added. Once all cash revenue has been removed from the first cash drawer in this manner, the computer program displays the amount of cash that has been counted, the "called for" amount for the cash from the POS system 20, and the difference. Ideally, the difference should be relatively close to zero. Once all of the cash revenue has been transferred from the first cash drawer to the second cash drawer and counted, the operator may continue balancing the first cash drawer by counting the remaining fields of revenue such as checks, credit card receipts, etc. from the first cash drawer. The operator may enable a flag to automatically move the cursor to the non-cash fields if the cash field balances within a certain user-definable amount. Balancing of non-cash fields of revenue typically starts with checks. In one embodiment, the operator first places the checks in the encoder 16 and keys the amounts for each of the checks into the computer 12. The encoder 16 then encodes the checks for the entered amounts and adds these amounts to a field indicating the total amount of checks. This field is balanced when the displayed amount equals the "called for" amount for checks. When this field is balanced, the computer program automatically goes to the next field of revenue that is not balanced (e.g., credit card receipts). The computer program may also prompt the encoder 16 to endorse the checks for easy deposit. In preferred forms, however, a list of checks and the amounts of the checks that should be in the first cash drawer are received directly from the POS system 20 and displayed on the screen 24 in a checks list. The computer program displays the amount of the first check that should be in the first cash drawer on the monitor 24 in a large box for easy viewing. The operator should then read the first check received in the drawer, and if its amount matches the amount displayed, the operator need only press the Enter key to encode this check for the indicated amount. If the computer monitor 24 displays a different amount, the operator should enter the correct amount for the check via one of the input devices. The operator may either navigate the checks list using the arrow keys or enter the check amount directly. The computer program then searches the list of checks received from the POS system 20 and, if it finds a check for that amount, it encodes the check. If this amount is not found in the "called for" list of checks, a message is displayed to the operator to verify the written amount. On-screen instructions assist the operator throughout this process. If the amount was entered incorrectly by the operator, the operator presses the Escape key to return to the checks list. If the amount matches the amount written on the front of the check, the operator presses the Enter key. The operator is then prompted to remove the check from the encoder 16 and enter the amount tendered on the back of the check. Ifthis amount is found in the checks list, the amount is replaced by the corrected amount. If the amount is not found in the list, the corrected amount is appended to the list. The operator is then prompted to drop the check into the manual feed zone of the encoder 16, which encodes the check for the correct amount. If the operator discovers that a check was encoded for the incorrect amount while going through the checks list process, the operator may undo the last document encoded by pressing the "-" (minus) key on the keypad and then following the on-screen instructions as described above for verifying the check amount. If it is necessary to balance another check after exiting the checks list screen, the operator may follow one of two options. First, the operator may simply type the amount of the check while the checks field is highlighted. Second, and more preferably, the operator may press the Insert key while the checks field is highlighted. The operator is prompted to enter the tendered amount of the check, then the correct amount. The operator then drops the check into the manual feed zone to be encoded. The computer program then displays the difference of the accumulated amounts in an area devoted to checks as a memo to the operator. This display reminds the operator of the mistendered check amounts because these amounts may affect an out-of-balance condition. The computer program also displays a pop-up window listing all checks that have been mistendered. The display asks for the mistendered amount first, then the correct amount. After the correct amount is entered for a check, the computer program displays a new "difference total" which is the sum of all mistendered checks minus the sum of their mistendered amounts. Until the current correct amount is confirmed by pressing the Enter key, the operator has the opportunity to change both the correct amount and the mistendered amount. To balance credit card receipts, the operator places the receipts on top of the weigh scale 14. The computer program receives a weight measurement from the weigh scale 14 and, based on this weight measurement, determines the number of credit card receipts. Ifthis number matches the number of credit card receipts that were received by the cash drawer as determined from the POS system 20, the computer program proceeds to the next non-cash field of revenue. However, if the weight of the credit card receipts is incorrect, the computer program displays a list of all expected credit card receipts so that the operator may process each slip separately to determine which credit card receipts are missing. This process is similar to that of checks as described above. A credit card list is displayed and the first item is viewed in a large box on the screen 24. If the amount on the credit card slip matches the amount on the screen 24, the user simply presses the Enter key. Any missing items are revealed as individual transactions thus assisting the operator in tracking down discrepancies. When all fields of revenue have been removed from the first cash drawer, the operator should enter "**" or any other code or sequence to indicate that the first cash drawer is now empty and the balance is acceptable. If the balance is not acceptable, the operator has the opportunity to investigate and make corrections prior to completing the balance. Note there has been no mixture of store funds with the funds of the cash drawer up to this point, thus ensuring all revenue which is accountable to that cash drawer remains separate for re-evaluation, if necessary. The computer program then prompts the operator to remove all of the excess revenue from the top of the till. This revenue should be placed in a bank or other secured place. At this point, the first cash drawer should be balanced, but the second cash drawer may still require additional revenue from store funds to meet the target amount for one or more denominations. For example, if the target amount for $1 bills in the second cash drawer is 35 and the first cash drawer only had 30 $1 bills in it, the second cash drawer needs five additional $1 bills to meet the target amount for this denomination. Ifthis is the case, the computer program prompts the operator to add the required denominations. The operator should place these denominations of revenue into the second cash drawer in the order displayed. As the additional revenue is added, the computer program counts the revenue based on weight measurements received from the weigh scale 14 and removes each denomination from the list as the target amounts are reached. Fig.2 depicts the primary steps of the method for building and replenishing cash drawers to meet target amounts. The steps are not necessarily performed in the order depicted, and the method may include additional steps not depicted. An initial step is to create a perpetual inventory of loose coins as depicted in box 200. The perpetual inventory should include sufficient quantities of each denomination of coins used by a store to enable the store to balance, construct and replenish all its cash drawers. Each denomination of loose coins in the perpetual inventory is preferably stored in a separate container. For example, containers may be provided for pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, fifty cent coins, dollar coins, and five dollar coins. The particular type of containers used is not important to the present invention and may be selected as a matter of convenience. A next step in the method is to remove coins from each of the containers and to place them into smaller containers for convenience, if desired, as described in box 204. This step is optional, but permits a store to maintain large containers of loose coins in a safe or secured area and to place smaller quantities of coins from these containers in small containers so that they may be more easily moved to a location where cash drawer reconciliation occurs. A next step in the method is to use the perpetual inventory and store funds to construct or replenish cash drawers with loose coins and other revenue as depicted in box 206. As described above, the computer program is preferably set up with target amounts for each denomination of revenue to be placed in a cash drawer and a target amount forthe total value of the cash drawer after it has been constructed. At this point in the description of the invention, assume that the first cash drawer has been balanced and reconciled, but that the second cash drawer may still require additional revenue to meet the target amount for one or more of the revenue denominations and to meet the total target value amount. Pennies should be the first denomination of revenue added to the second cash drawer, followed by nickels, dimes, quarters, and each subsequent denomination of coins. After all denominations of coins have been added, bills, starting with $1 bills, are added in this same fashion. It is important to note that the computer program does not require the operator to exactly reach the target values for the coins. Instead, the operator must merely meet or exceed the target values. For example, if a target value for pennies is 75 and an operator adds enough pennies so that 92 are present in the pennies till cup, the computer program automatically moves on and prompts the operatorto begin adding nickels to the nickels till cup (if any are needed). Operators are therefore trained over time to add enough of each denomination of coins to the till cups in one step to exceed the target values so that additional amounts do not have to be added to meet the target values. Grabbing enough coins in one handful to meet each target value saves time when constructing a cash drawer. Once enough coins have been added to meet the target values for all denominations of coins, the present invention provides several different routines that may be followed to obtain a selected total dollar value for the entire cash drawer. A first routine requires that an operator add a particular quantity of coins to reach an even total dollar value for the cash drawer. For example, after reaching or exceeding the target values for all denominations of coins, the computer 12 and computer program may determine that the second cash drawer needs to receive an additional 80 to reach an even dollar amount. The computer program therefore prompts the operatorto add three pennies and one nickel. Then, once an even dollar value of coins are present in the cash drawer, the computer program prompts the operatorto add a specified number of $1 bills, $5 bills, etc. to meet the target values for each of these denominations of bills and to reach the total target value for the cash drawer. This option allows the computer 12 to be set up to force an operatorto arrive at a specified, even total dollar value forthe cash drawer. Although this option results in an even dollar value in each cash drawer and is therefore preferred in many applications, it requires increased specificity and labor. Another routine does not require the operator to add pennies to reach an even dollar total value for the cash drawer. For example, if the cash drawer needs to receive an additional 10-40 to reach an even dollar amount of coins, the computer program ignores this and instead begins to prompt the operator to add a specified number of bills to meet target values for the bills. Although this routine may result in a cash drawer being as much as 40 short of its total target dollar value, it saves labor with a limited loss in accuracy. A third routine is similar to the above, except the computer program does not require the operator to add any coins to reach an even dollar amount. For example, if the cash drawer needs to receive an additional 1 ø-99ø to reach an even dollar amount of coins, the computer program ignores this and instead begins to prompt the operator to add a specified number of bills to meet target values for the bills. Once again, although this reduces the accuracy somewhat (by as much as 990), it reduces labor requirements. A fourth routine only requires an operatorto add quarters to come as close as possible to an even dollar total value for the cash drawer. For example, if 1 ø-25ø are needed to reach an even dollar value for the cash drawer, the computer 12 prompts the operator to add one quarter. If the cash drawer requires 260-500, the computer 12 prompts the operator to add two quarters. If the cash drawer requires 510-750, the computer 12 prompts the operator to add three quarters. If 760-990 are needed to complete the cash drawer, the computer 12 prompts the operator to add an additional dollar bill to the cash drawer. In all of these cases, the cash drawer will never be any more than 240 over an even dollar target value for the cash drawer. Although the second, third and fourth routines described above will often result in the construction of cash drawers not equaling the selected total target dollar value and will result in different cash drawers having different total dollar values, labor requirements will be reduced. The computer program also permits an operator to print various reports or tickets relating to cash drawers and cashiers. For example, a Current Cashier List report that shows the sign-on and sign-off times for all cashiers tracked by the computer program may be generated and printed. This report includes the date and time each cashier signed on and signed off, the cashier number for each cashier, and the total "called for" amounts for the cashiers. A Cashier Balance report provides a complete balance record for a cashier after the cashier's cash drawer has been balanced. The report includes a complete inventory of the cash drawer contents, the total amount of revenue contained in the drawer, the starting amount in the cash drawer, the difference between the final amount of revenue and the starting amount of revenue, a comparison of the actual revenue amount versus the "called for" amounts for each revenue type or field, the final balance forthe cash drawer, the total for all revenue types forthe cash drawer, the weekly overs or shorts (O/S) indicating the cashier's balances forthe week, a summary of the actual revenues in the cash drawer for each media type, and a total of all the actual amounts for the various revenue types. The computer program may also generate and print other reports including Current Cashier Balance, Help File, Check Batch Receipt, Credit Card Sub-Batch Ticket, Credit Card List, Missing Items, Credit Card Search, Pickup Cashier Balance, Loan Cashier Balance, Balance Correction, Safe Countdown, Cash In, Cash Out, Current Inventory, Daily Cashier Short/Long report, Media Totals, Weekly Cashier Short/Long, Daily Transaction log, FTP Error report, Accounts Set-Up, Denominations Set-Up, Systems Set-Up, and Closing Flags. The computer program also has the ability to provide a "perpetual cash inventory" of all denominations of cash within a cash office of a store. The computer program and computer equipment 10 may be used to count the entire contents of a store safe, all cash drawers, and all starting till amounts to establish a base line inventory of all cash and related financial media in the store. As revenue is counted throughout the day, the inventory is updated. This permits cash deposits to be counted, by media, as part of bank deposits to decrease the inventory count of each denomination. Likewise, cash deliveries from a bank can be verified upon receipt to automatically update the inventory counts. By following these procedures, a store can maintain a running perpetual inventory of all revenue denominations. Then, by recounting the safe, cash drawers, and starting tills, the store can verify this inventory and post over/short balances. By using this inventory data as well as a database of historical data, the computer program may also determine what an order for currency should be from a financial institution. This feature allows retailers to decrease working capital and increases their efficiency in ordering only an amount of currency which is necessary for operations until the next shipment of currency arrives. The computer program and computer equipment 10 may also track "loose" bills in a cash drawer and identify the number of additional loose bills needed to form a pack or clip of bills (typically 25 or 100 bills). As proceeds are removed from cash drawers, packs or clips can be built immediately. This eliminates the need to later recount loose bills in cash drawers to create clips or packs for transfer to a safe or for bank deposits. The computer program and computer equipment 10 may also be used to verify vendor coupons, store coupons, or any other type of coupon. The weigh scale 14 may be used to verify all coupons for any cashier. Deviations outside of an acceptable range of the number of coupons versus programmable weight to value comparison will trigger an itemization list to appear whereby the operator must balance the coupons individually for the current till. This routine eliminates the need to balance all cashier coupons by pinpointing possible stuffing of coupons on a per till basis. The computer program and computer equipment 10 may also be used for tracking credit card receipts. If the computer 12 is interfaced to the POS system 20, the computer program can store information about each credit card transaction, cashier number, an account number, the total amount of the transaction, the transaction number from the POS, the date, the time of day, and a unique five-digit number assigned by the computer program for identifying a stack of credit card receipts from a cash drawer being balanced. The above information can be retrieved at a future date if needed to locate an original credit card transaction slip if it is needed to prove a customer's signature on the transaction slip. To perform such a credit card transaction slip search, an operator may type in certain of the above items of information into the computer 12. A software routine then searches all files and responds with the unique five-digit number which corresponds to the entered information. With the five-digit number, an operator may quickly locate all transaction slips from a particular cash till and then find the desired transaction slip. This feature makes recovery time of contested credit card transactions approximately two minutes instead of an average time of two hours, if found at all. If a copy of the original customer signed credit card slip cannot be produced on contested charges within a few days of the notice from the credit card company, the retailer's account is automatically debited the entire amount of the sale. The volume of credit card transactions continues to increase weekly. As more consumers become aware of retailers' inability to timely produce the original signed copy of the transaction, it can be expected that the volume of contested charges will increase dramatically. A dishonest consumer who manages to take advantage of a careless cashier and leave a store with a signed copy of the credit card slip knows this retailer cannot produce their signature when contested, making their entire purchase free. This scam could grow to unbelievable proportions if dishonest cashiers become an active part of the process. The term "sweethearting" in retail is when a cashier either charges a friend or relative less than an item's price or does not charge anything for an item or items. The above described scam is the ultimate in sweethearting. To compound the problem, credit card transactions are processed and electronically transmitted to the credit card companies at the time of the purchase, creating a lapse time of a few days or weeks before the retailer is notified to produce the customer's signature. In an attempt to control this problem, the program also tracks, by cashier, all missing signed credit card slips, printing them on the unique 5-digit numbered slip created by the system's printer 18 and storing the information on the hard drive of the computer 12. This and all information stored is retrievable for a period of six months, or longer if the customer desires. If the setting is six months, the system automatically drops the first day of the six month period and adds today's information to the files. Managers can be notified of these situations as they take place, not weeks later. The computer program and computer equipment 10 may also be used to create log files of operator and cashier activity and use these log files to provide meaningful reports to managers. The reports may be used to identify places where more training is needed in order to ensure corporate-wide consistency in daily operations. The reports may be directly transmitted to corporate managers and may be as specific as identifying every key stroke pressed by an operator or cashier or the report may be as general as providing summarizing data. The present invention provides numerous benefits and advantages. For example, because the computer program of the present invention automates the reconciliation and balancing of cash drawers, and provides prompts to operators during these procedures, operators never get lost or need to start over when returning to complete a till balance after they have been interrupted. This essentially eliminates lost labor due to interruptions and dramatically reduces the time required to balance a cash drawer. Another advantage is that the invention eliminates the mixing of cashier funds with store funds until a satisfactory balance of a cash drawer has been accomplished. This significantly reduces errors associated with such revenue mixing. The invention also provides a consistent routine for all personnel that use the system, whether the personnel are in a particular store or at various stores owned by the same company. This simplifies training and dramatically increases productivity. Notwithstanding this consistency, daily and weekly closing procedures can be customizable for each store and performed automatically by utilizing options on the main menu screen. Another advantage is that for the first time in the history of balancing cash drawers/tills, the invention allows a retailer a cost-effective way to balance cashiers' revenues each time they go on a break or a lunch break as well as at the end of their shift. What makes this process possible is the computer program's systematic step-by- step method of processing and accounting for all the multiple types of revenue which can be present in a cashier's cash drawer. This extremely fast and accurate method of balancing cash drawers, and at the same time building or constructing new cash drawers for cashiers who need a "fresh till" when starting a shift or returning from a break, provides each cashier the correct quantities of each denomination to process customers' purchases for the next 2 to 3 hours without interruptions. This process effectively eliminates the need for pick-ups, loans, and/or purchasing additional change because the cashier's "fresh till" provides adequate change making ability until their next break. The benefits of such rapid and accurate balancing and reconciliation routines are many. One important benefit is that a store may provide all of its cashiers "fresh tills" every 2 to 3 hours. Historically, retailers by necessity must repeatedly perform pick-ups (the removal of excess cash for security reasons), loans (additional cash quantities needed to continue to make change), and/or cashier's purchase of additional change. The present invention can effectively eliminate these three requirements. Pick-ups, loans, and purchasing change steps each require the involvement of two to three employees: a cashier, a front-end supervisor, and in most operations, a cash office person or a customer service person. Providing each cashier a "fresh till" every two to three hours can eliminate all three of the employees' labor currently being invested in pick-ups, loans, and change purchases. The invention also more quickly processes required pick-ups and loans. Customer service is also greatly improved as customers no longer must wait in line for a supervisor to bring a cashier needed change to continue checking out purchases. Another benefit of balancing cash drawers every two to three hours is the attainment of cash control each time a cash drawer is balanced. This provides management the ability to discuss shortages or policy and procedure requirements with each cashier normally when they return from their break. Although the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment illustrated in the attached drawing figures, it is noted that equivalents may be employed and substitutions made herein without departing from the scope of the invention as recited in the claims. For example, although the computer program of the present invention is preferably used with a computer 12 coupled to a POS system 20, "called for" amounts and target amounts may be directly entered into the computer 12. Similarly, although the preferred computer program counts revenue based on the weight of revenue, the revenue can also be manually counted and then manually entered into the computer 12 via a keyboard or other input device 22.

This invention relates to a disposable diaper. Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1993-39531A discloses a pants-type wearing article. In this wearing article, tape fasteners folded in a Z-shape or an inverted Z-shape so as to be unfolded in a waist-surrounding direction when these tape fasteners are used are provided on a wearer's body facing surface of the rear waist region in the vicinity of the rear waist region's both side edges along which the rear waist region is overlaid and joined together with the front waist region. Top section of the tape fasteners corresponding to the top of the Z-shape is coated on its under surface with a self-adhesive. The tape fasteners may be unfolded and anchored to the wearing article at its appropriate positions to tighten the waist-surrounding dimension or to retain the used diaper in a rolled up state. The invention described in the above-cited Publication certainly provides a pants-type wearing article having tape fasteners but not provides a process for making such a wearing article. While it is obviously possible to attach tape fasteners one by one to a wearing article, this invention aims to attach tape fasteners to a wearing article, for example, a disposable diaper in a remarkably efficient manner in the process for continuously making the wearing article. According to this invention, there is provided a process for making a disposable diaper, the diaper having a wearer's body facing surface and a garment facing surface, front and rear ends extending in a transverse direction and a pair of side edges extending in a longitudinal direction, a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region extending between the waist regions, and one of the front and rear waist regions of the garment facing surface being provided in vicinities of the side edges with tape fasteners folded so that the tape fasteners are unfolded in the transverse direction. This invention includes the steps of: a) feeding continuously a first web in the transverse direction wherein the first web comprises a plurality of backsheets defining the garment facing surface having the pair of side edges and successively connected one to another along the side edges so as to be continuous in the transverse direction; b) feeding tape fastener members to the first web fed in the step a), wherein each of the tape fastener members extending in the transverse direction has longitudinally opposite end portions and an intermediate portion extending between the opposite end portions, the opposite end portions being folded in a Z-shape or an inverted Z-shape, top sections of the Z-shape and the inverted Z-shape being coated on respective under surfaces with a first adhesive and bottom sections of the Z-shape and the inverted Z-shape being coated on respective under surfaces with a second adhesive, and bonding the tape fastener members by means of the second adhesive to the garment facing surface in one of the front and rear waist regions of the backsheets being contiguous one to another along the side edges in the first web so that the tape fastener members straddle the side edges, respectively; and c) cutting the first web together with the tape fastener members along the side edges. This invention may be implemented also in manners as follows: (1) The first web is fed in the step a) in the condition that the first web is overlaid with a second web which is continuous in the transverse direction and destined to be a topsheet defining the wearer's body facing surface and liquid-absorbent cores arranged intermittently in the feeding direction of these first and second webs between these first and second webs. (2) The first web is destined to define the garment facing surface of an open-type disposable diaper. (3) The first web is destined to be the backsheet defining the garment facing surface of a pants-type disposable diaper and after the first web has been folded back along a line bisecting a vertical dimension of the first web so that a region of the first web destined to form the front waist regions and a region of the first web destined to form the rear waist regions are directly or indirectly overlaid each other, the folded back two regions are joined together at zones each having a desired width along lines to define the side edges of the diaper and thereafter the tape fastener members are bonded to the first web by means of the second adhesive on both sides of the respective zones of desired width so as to straddle the respective zones.

Details of the process for making a disposable diaper proposed by this invention will be more fully understood from the description given hereunder with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cut away plan view showing a disposable diaper 1 made by the process according to this invention and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line II—II in FIG. 1. The diaper 1 comprises a liquid-pervious topsheet 2 facing a wearer's body, a liquid-impervious backsheet 3 facing a garment the wearer puts on and a liquid-absorbent core 4 interposed between these two sheets 2, 3. FIG. 1 is the plan view showing the diaper 1 with the backsheet 3 on the upper side and the topsheet 2 on the under side. The diaper 1 is contoured by front and rear ends 11, 12 extending in parallel to each other in a transverse direction and a pair of side edges 13 extending in parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction orthogonal to the transverse direction. The diaper 1 is composed of, in the longitudinal direction, a front waist region 6 put aside toward the front end 11, a rear waist region 7 put aside toward the rear end 12 and a crotch region 8 extending between these two waist regions 6, 7. In the crotch region 8, the side edges 13 curve inward. Respective portions of the top- and backsheets 2, 3 extend outward beyond a peripheral edge of the core 4 and are overlaid and joined together by means of a hot melt adhesive (not shown) to form a front flap 16, a rear flap 17 and side flaps 18. In the front flap 16 and the rear flap 17, waist-surrounding elastic members 19 are bonded in a stretched state to the inner surface of at least one of the top- and backsheets 2, 3. In the side flaps 18, thigh-surrounding elastic members 21 are stretched along the curved side edges 13 and bonded in this stretched state to the inner surface of at least one of the top- and backsheets 2, 3. In the rear waist region 7, tape fasteners 30 are attached to the backsheet 3 in the vicinity of the respective side edges 13. The tape fasteners 30 are folded so that these tape fasteners 30 may be unfolded outward beyond the respective side edges 13. As viewed in FIG. 2, each of the tape fasteners 30 consists of a top tape section 31, a bottom tape section 32 and an intermediate tape section 33 lying between these top and bottom tape sections 31, 32. The top tape section 31 has an inner end portion 36, an outer end portion 37 and an intermediate portion 38 with respect to the diaper 1 and these portions 36–38 are coated on the under surfaces thereof with the first self-adhesive 39. The bottom tape section 32 also has an inner end portion 41, an outer end portion 42 and an intermediate portion 43 and these portions 41–43 are coated on the under surfaces thereof with the second self-adhesive 44. Similarly, the intermediate tape section 33 has an inner end portion 46, an outer end portion 47 and an intermediate portion 48 and these portions 46–48 are coated on the under surfaces thereof with the third self-adhesive 49. The inner end portion 36 of the top tape section 31 is temporarily fixed to an upper surface 32 a of the bottom tape section 32 but firmly bonded to the folded upward inner end portion 46 of the intermediate tape section 33. The outer end portion 37 of the top tape section 31 extends outwardly of the diaper 1 beyond respective outer end portions of the bottom tape section 32 and the intermediate tape section 33. The first self-adhesive 39 coating the outer end portion 37 is covered with a small film strip 51. The intermediate portion 38 of the top tape section 31 is temporarily fixed to an upper surface 33 a of the intermediate tape section 33. The bottom tape section 32 is firmly bonded over its substantially full length to an outer surface (upper surface as viewed in FIG. 2) of the backsheet 3. The outer end portion 42 of the bottom tape section 32 is folded upward and firmly bonded to the outer end portion 47 of the intermediate tape section 33 by means of the third self-adhesive 49. Except for the folded inner end portion 46 bonded to the top tape section 31 and the outer end portion 47 bonded to the outer end portion 42 of the bottom tape section 32, the intermediate tape section 33, i.e., the intermediate portion 48 thereof is temporarily fixed to the upper surface 32 a of the bottom tape section 32. The top tape section 31, the intermediate tape section 33 and the bottom tape section 32 arranged in this manner form the continuous tape fastener folded in a Z-shape. The outer end portion 37 of the top tape section 31 may be held together with the small film strip 51 by fingers and pulled in the direction P outwardly of the diaper 1 to peel the temporarily fixed portions off one from another and thereby to unfold the tape fastener 30 as indicated by imaginary lines. In order to facilitate the first self-adhesive 39 to be peeled off from the bottom tape section 32 and the intermediate tape section 33 and/or in order to facilitate the third self-adhesive 49 to be peeled off from the bottom tape section 32, these tape sections 32, 33 may be coated with a suitable release agent such as silicone oil. FIGS. 3 and 4 are diagrams illustrating manners in which the tape fasteners 30 are used. Referring to FIG. 3, the tape fasteners 30 are fully unfolded from the rear waist region 7 of the diaper 1 put on a wearer's body and detachably fixed to the front waist region 6. Referring to FIG. 4, the used diaper 1 has been rolled up and retained by the tape fasteners 30 in such a rolled up state. In this way, the tape fasteners 30 are useful not only to put the diaper 1 on the wearer's body but also to maintain the used diaper 1 in a rolled up state for disposal thereof. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a part of the process for continuously making the diapers 1. In a series of steps (1)–(3) illustrated in the lower part of this diagram, an arrow pointing leftward indicates a machine direction MD. In the step (1), a continuous diaper 65 is fed in the machine direction MD. The continuous diaper 65 comprises continuous liquid-pervious web 62 destined to define the topsheet 2 of the diaper 1, continuous liquid-impervious web 63 placed on the web 62 and destined to define the backsheet 3 of the diaper 1 and the cores 4 intermittently arranged in the machine direction MD at given intervals and interposed between these webs 62, 63. These webs 62, 63 are overlaid and joined together by means of a hot melt adhesive (not shown) around the respective cores 4. Of the continuous diaper 65, a dimension in a direction CD orthogonal to the machine direction MD corresponds to a longitudinal dimension of the individual diaper 1 and an imaginary line A extending in the cross direction CD indicates a position representing each of the side edges 13 of the individual diaper 1. In these two webs 62, 63, a plurality of topsheets 2 are contiguous one to another along respective side edges 13 and a plurality of backsheets 3 are contiguous one to another along the respective side edges 13. The core 4 is placed between each pair of the adjacent imaginary lines A, A and the overlaid webs 62, 63 are cut out approximately in the middle of the imaginary line A to form a circular opening 66. In the step (2), the tape fastener members 67 are fed from a series of steps (a)–(d) illustrated in the upper part of the diagram and these tape fastener members 67 are attached to the continuous diaper 65 traveling in the machine direction MD so that these tape fastener members 67 may straddle the respective imaginary lines A. In the step (3), the continuous diaper 65 is cut along the imaginary lines A together with the taper fastener members 67 and the individual diapers 1 shown in FIG. 1 are obtained. Peripheral edges of the openings 66 formed in the continuous diaper 65 are destined to define the curved side edges 13 of the diaper 1 in its crotch region 8. In a series of steps (a)–(d) illustrated in the upper part of FIG. 5, the tape fastener members 67 are prepared. In the step (a), continuous tape 367 destined to define the tape fastener members 67 is fed from the right hand toward the left hand as viewed in the diagram. In the step (b), the continuous tape 367 is cut in the transverse direction to obtain the individual tape fastener members 67. In the step (c), the tape fastener members 67 obtained in the step (b) are rotated by 90� so that the members 67 may extend in the machine direction MD. In the step (d), the tape fastener members 67 rotated in this manner are fed to the continuous diaper 65. It is possible to feed the continuous tape 367 in the cross direction CD rather than in the machine direction MD as illustrated and, in this case, the individual tape fastener members 67 obtained by cutting the continuous tape 367 are also fed in the cross direction CD to the continuous diaper 65. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the continuous diaper 65 including the tape fastener members 67 shown in FIG. 5 as taken along a line VI—VI in FIG. 5. The tape fastener member 67 is symmetric about the imaginary line A, so the left half of the member 67 is not illustrated for the purpose of simplification. The tape fastener member 67 comprises a first tape section 131 straddling the imaginary line A and extending in the machine direction MD, the bottom tape section 32 bonded to the liquid-impervious web 63 on both sides of the imaginary line A by means of the second self-adhesive 44 and the intermediate tape section 33 temporarily fixed to the upper surface 32 a of the bottom tape section 32 by means of the third self-adhesive 49. The first tape section 131 is temporarily fixed to the upper surface of the intermediate tape section 33 by means of a self-adhesive 139 and this self-adhesive 139 is covered with a small plastic film strip 151 in the vicinity of the imaginary line A. These continuous diaper 65 and tape fastener members 67 may be cut along the respective imaginary lines A to obtain the individual diapers 1 and the tape fasteners 30 attached thereto as shown in FIG. 1 wherein the liquid-pervious web 62 and the liquid-impervious web 63 respectively define the topsheet 2 and the backsheet 3. The first tape section 131, the self-adhesive 139 and the small plastic film strip 151 in the tape fastener member 67 may be cut along the imaginary line A to obtain the top tape section 31, the first self-adhesive 39 and the small plastic film strip 51 of the tape fastener 30 shown in FIG. 2. The bottom tape section 32 and the second self-adhesive 44 of the tape fastener member 67 respectively define the bottom tape section 32 and the second self-adhesive 44 of the diaper 1 and the intermediate tape section 33 and the third self-adhesive 49 respectively define the intermediate tape section 33 and the third self-adhesive 49 of the diaper 1. Referring to FIG. 6, of two tape fasteners 30 obtained from one and same tape fastener member 67, the tape fastener 30 lying on the right side of the imaginary line A—A is folded in a Z-shape and the tape fastener 30 lying on the left side is folded in an inverted Z-shape. Such a process for continuously making the individual diapers 1 characterized in that the continuous diaper 65 is cut together with the tape fastener members 67 is more advantageous than the process of well known art according to which the tape fasteners 30 are separately prepared and attached to the diapers 1 one by one. The process according to this invention enables steps of cutting base material for the tape fasteners 30 to be eliminated by one step. FIG. 7 is a diagram similar to FIG. 6 illustrating another embodiment of this invention. The tape fastener member 67 used in this continuous diaper 65 comprises the top tape section 31, the bottom tape section 32 and a second tape section 133 interposed between these two tape sections 31, 32 wherein the second tape section 133 extends beyond the imaginary line A. The tape fastener member 67 may be cut together with the continuous diaper 65 along the imaginary line A to form the tape fasteners 30 on both sides of the imaginary line A similarly to the case of the tape fastener member 67 in FIG. 6. The top tape section 31 in this tape fastener member 67 and the first self-adhesive 39 applied on the under surface of this tape section 31 function in the same manner as the top tape section 31 and the first self-adhesive 39 applied to the under surface of this tape section 31 shown in FIG. 2. The bottom tape section 32 in the tape fastener member 67 and the second self-adhesive 44 applied on the under surface of this section 32 function also in the same manner of those in FIG. 2. While the second tape section 133 and a self-adhesive 149 applied on the under surface of the second tape section 133 function in the same manner as the intermediate tape section 33 and the third self-adhesive 49 in FIG. 2, a portion 147 of the second tape section 133 extending beyond the outer end portion 42 of the bottom tape section 32 to the imaginary line A is longer than the portion 47 of the tape fastener 30 in FIG. 2 and firmly bonded to the liquid-impervious web 63. In the diaper 1 using the second tape section 133, the tape fastener 30 may be pulled leftward in the direction P as viewed in FIG. 7 with the outer end portion 37 of the top tape section 31 held by fingers to unfold the top tape section 31, the bottom tape section 32 and the second tape section 133 in the same manner as the tape fastener 30 in FIG. 2. It should be understood that the portion 147 of the second tape section 133 remains bonded to the backsheet 3 defined by the second web 63. In the tape fastener 30 according to this embodiment, the portion 147 bonded to the backsheet 3 over a relatively large area is effective to prevent a force tending to peel the bottom tape section 32 off from the backsheet 3 from acting upon the bottom tape section 32. FIG. 8 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a pants-type disposable diaper 201 made by the process according to this invention. The diaper 201 comprises a liquid-pervious topsheet 202, a liquid-impervious backsheet 203 and a liquid-absorbent core 204 disposed between these two sheets 202, 203 so as to configure a front waist region 206, a rear waist region 207 and a crotch region 208. The front and rear waist regions 206, 207 are overlaid together in the vicinity of transversely opposite side edges 213 thereof and joined together at bonding zones 210 arranged intermittently in the longitudinal direction of the diaper 201 so as to define a waist-hole 271 and a pair of leg-holes 272. A waist-surrounding elastic member 219 is attached in a stretched state to a peripheral edge portion of the waist-hole 271 and thigh-surrounding elastic members 221 are attached in a stretched state to peripheral edge portions of the leg-holes 272. The rear waist region 207 is provided with tape fasteners 230 in the vicinity of the respective side edges 213. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line IX—IX in FIG. 8. In the diaper 201, the front and rear trunk regions 206, 207 are overlaid together in the vicinity of the side edges 213 and the top- and backsheets 202, 203 are joined together at the bonding zones 210. The tape fastener 230 is identical to the tape fastener 30 in FIG. 2, so the regions of the tape fastener 230 are designated by the reference numerals added 200 to the reference numerals of the corresponding tape fastener 30. The tape fastener 230 can be unfolded with the outer end portion 237 of the top tape section 231 held by fingers so as to extend in the direction P beyond the side edge 213 of the rear waist region 207 to the front waist region 206. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a pants-type disposable diaper 201 illustrating a manner in which the tape fasteners 230 are used. In the case of the diaper 201 shown in FIG. 10, the front waist region 206 is pulled toward the rear waist region 207 using the tape fasteners 230 so that the diaper 201 may be tucked to alleviate overabundance in the waist-surrounding direction. This tape fastener 230 also is useful to retain the used diaper in a rolled up state as the tape fastener 30 of FIG. 5 is. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a part of the process for continuously making the diaper 201 having the tape fasteners 230. In the step (1), continuous diaper 265 destined to be the pants-type diapers 201 is fed from the right hand toward the left hand as viewed in FIG. 11, i.e., in the machine direction MD. The continuous diaper 265 is similar to the continuous diaper 65 of FIG. 5 except that a continuous liquid-pervious web 262 is placed on a continuous liquid-impervious web 263 and the cores 204 are interposed between these webs 262, 263. In the step (2), the continuous diaper 265 is folded back along the center line C bisecting a dimension of the continuous diaper 265 in the cross direction CD crossing the machine direction MD with the liquid-pervious web 262 inside. In the step (3), the bonding zones 210 are formed on both sides of the imaginary line A extending in the cross direction CD in the middle between each pair of the adjacent cores 204, 204 so that two layers of the continuous diaper 265 formed by folding back may be intermittently joined together. In the step (4), the tape fastener members 267 are fed so as to straddle the bonding zones 210 in the machine direction MD and bonded to the liquid-impervious web 263 on both sides of the bonding zones 210. In the step (5), the continuous diaper 265 is cut along the imaginary lines A together with the tape fastener members 267 and the individual pants-type diapers 201 are obtained. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line XII—XII in FIG. 11. On both sides of the respective imaginary lines A extending across the continuous diaper 265, the liquid-pervious web 262 and the liquid-impervious web 263 destined to form the front waist regions 206, on one hand, and the liquid-pervious web 262 and the liquid-impervious web 263 destined to form the rear waist regions 207, on the other hand, are welded together in the bonding zones 210. Similarly to the tape fastener member 67 shown by FIG. 5, the tape fastener member 267 has the uppermost first tape section 131 straddling the bonding zones 210 formed on both sides of the imaginary line A. This tape fastener member 267 may be cut along the imaginary line A to obtain the tape fastener 230 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 13 is a diagram similar to FIG. 11 illustrating a part of the process for making the pants-type disposable diaper 201 comprising steps different from those in the process illustrated by FIG. 11. Referring to FIG. 13, in the step (3), the tape fastener members 267 are fed to the continuous diaper 265 so as to straddle the respective imaginary lines A and bonded to the liquid-impervious web 263. In the step (4), the bonding zones 210 are formed on both sides of the respective imaginary lines A. In the case that the liquid-pervious web 262 and the liquid-impervious web 263 are made of a thermoplastic material having a relatively low softening temperature such as polyethylene or polypropylene and the tape fastener member 267 is made of a thermoplastic material having a relatively high softening temperature such as polyester, the liquid-pervious web 262 and the liquid-impervious web 263 may be heat-sealed above the tape fastener member 267 to form the bonding zones 210 and thereby to obtain the pants-type diaper 201 having the arrangement similar to that shown by FIG. 12. It is possible without departing from the scope of this invention to use, in the process illustrated by FIGS. 11 and 13, the tape fastener member 67 shown in FIG. 6 instead of the tape fastener member 267 shown in FIG. 12. In the process illustrated by FIG. 11, it is possible without departing from the scope of this invention to directly joined two layers of the folded back liquid-impervious web 263 without interposition of the liquid-pervious web 262 in the bonding zones 210. The liquid-pervious web 62, 262 and the liquid-impervious web 63, 263 are preferably made of a heat-sealable sheet material containing thermoplastic synthetic resin over 50 wt %. This invention may be implemented in a manner that the tape fasteners 30, 230 are attached to the front waist region 6, 206 instead of attaching them to the rear waist region 7, 207 as for the diaper 1, 201 as illustrated. The process according to this invention for making the disposable diapers is primarily characterized in that the continuous diaper is cut together with the tape fastener members and thereby the individual diapers are obtained.

Discerning Dreams – CHRONICLES OF THE DRAGON GODDESS I was ten years old when I had my very first dream come true. I dreamed that my 5th grade classmate sat next to me on the bus, told me he liked me, and then kissed me. The very next day the dream played itself out, minus the kiss. It would appear that the dream marked a threshold because what followed was a gift that’s stuck with me my entire life (thus far). Yes, I have dreams that come true. It’s a strange occurrence that still amazes me though I’ve lived with it most my life so I can imagine what others may make of my claim,even those that do believe in such things. I have many examples of my gift. The night I dreamt when my best friend gave birth to her first son. The morning I dreamt that my mother blew her car tire out. My high school sweetheart used to hate that I always seemed to know what he was up to, despite being two thousand miles apart and long periods of no communication. It’s a strange gift indeed and one I have absolutely no control of. There are no incantations spoken before bed. I don’t think to myself ” I’m going to have one of those dreams tonight” as my head hits my pillow. They simply happen. Sometimes it’s a scenario that plays itself out. Most of the time people come to me in my dreams and tell me things. I’ve learned that these conversations are typically things that are currently happening while the scenarios are things that will happen in the future. The funny thing is that I have no idea how far into the future these things will occur. It can be two months or two years but they come to be eventually. As strange as the dreams are I find it even stranger that the trait runs in my family. My father has the same gift. My mother likes to tell the story of how my father called my mother the day she brought me home from the hospital asking if I had been delivered. He’d known even though she was clear across the country. I was born in Toledo, Ohio and my father was living in California. My aunt and uncle also have the same gift as well as my little brother. Whether it’s a genetic inheritance or spiritual gift I am of the opinion that our intuition is a very vital survival mechanism. It’s that subconscious warning sign we often miss, that little voice in the back of our minds we ignore. Some experience a stronger sense of discernment than others but we all have the ability if we allow ourselves to trust what our subconscious is revealing to us. I’ve learned enough lessons to understand that I would have been saved much heartache if I had paid heed to what my dreams told me. Always trust your instincts, intuition, dreams, etc. At the end of the day they all amount to the same thing-lamps lighting the path of our journey.

Hotel premises are likewise.Javier at the front desk was new to the job but handled everything with aplomb. Good luck and wish him well. I didn't have the breakfast as I needed to leave early for my flight the next morning, but this being a HC property, I would expect the breakfast to be value for the €12 charge. I've stayed at HC properties through my Spain visit and find them to be efficient and good value hotels.The location is fantastic, it's a 3 minute walk to universitat square and then another 5 min from there to Catalunya.Recommended. If you're traveling with kids, opt for the larger rooms so you have space for additional beds. The premier room I was in, wouldn't fit an additional bed. Also, ask in advance for a room facing the Gran Via main road, as those at the back, face residential blocks which may not be to the liking of those for whom a view matters.

We were greeted by a friendly counter person who checked us in and gave us some advice about how to get around the area. The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing we didn't care for was the bathroom. Behind one glass swinging door was the toilet and the other the shower. The shower was excellent but the toilet did not offer much privacy. Probably not a good idea to bring someone there you are not comfortable with them knowing what you are doing in the bathroom. Overall we were very happy to have stayed here. Helpful?

Booked it because it was great value, close to city centre and metro. If you love clean modern lines and a spacious comfy bed then this is for you! The pool is more of a splash pool but a perfect place to chill before or after a day out. We had a premium room and a standard double both with terrace onto the Gran Via. Premium much larger than standard room. Contrary to previous reviews there was No noise being at the front of the hotel! Obviously if you open the 2 sets of doors and screens onto terrace you are going to hear the road but at night you could be in different place its so quiet. Theres a/c in the room, the showers are wet rooms with a rainfall shower overhead & a standard shower if you don't want to wet your hair! Theres a safe, a mini bar and a fabulous floor to ceiling mirror. Staff were super helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was nice, all you can eat and bound to be something to suit every taste. We requested late check out 15mins before 12 o'clock check out! They were great and let us keep one room until 6 and gave us clean towels too. All in all a great stay! Recommended Helpful?

On arrival we were upgraded (for 20 euros) to room 201 overlooking the main road outside. You will appreciate the little details in the design of the room and the double glazing effectively blocked out 100% of the traffic noise. Continental breakfast was included (as was a glass of welcome Cava on arrival). The hotel is low key and friendly, especially the reception and I thought it was good value for money. The bathroom built into the room assumes you are good friends and might not be to everyone’s taste though. As to the location midway between Las Ramblas and Place de Espana, the Gothic quarter is about a 20 minute walk away. I would definitely stay there again and thought it represented good value for money. Helpful?

1994-95 to win back-to-back AP titles. "I know right now I'm in the middle of something special," USC AP and Bowl Championship Series national title trophies. "We are now unanimously No. 1," Orange Bowl MVP Matt Leinart said right after the game. Not quite, but good enough. USC received 62 first-place votes and 1,622 points. Auburn got the other first-place votes and 1,559 points. "It's probably hard for you to imagine, but we took this thing in stride, step by step as we went through," Carroll said earlier. "We didn't talk about national championship very much, the players probably did some." The Sooners (12-1) finished third, ahead of unbeaten Utah (12-0) and Texas (11-1). Auburn (13-0) finished its perfect season Monday night with a 16-13 victory over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl. Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville and his team practically pleaded with poll voters to give his team a championship, but to no avail. "Anybody who thought that last night was a championship game, I beg to differ," Tuberville said Wednesday morning. "I'm were, we did not get a chance to play in that game." The Trojans' 36-point rout was the third largest margin in a 1 vs. 2 matchup. USC joins Florida State in 1999 as the only teams to go championship. The Trojans' fifth AP title ties them with Miami for the fourth most. Louisville was No. 6, followed by Georgia, Iowa, California and Virginia Tech. Miami was 11th and for the first time since 1982, no team from Florida ended the season ranked among the nation's top five. Florida State (9-3) finished ranked 15th and Florida (7-5) ended the season unranked. Boise State's first loss of the season to Louisville in the Liberty Bowl dropped the Broncos two spots to No. 12. Navy made it into the rankings for the first time since 1979 at No. 24. Fresno State also joined the poll at 22.Copyright 2005 by The Associated PressRecommend0

Visions for Vacancy: What Tenant Should be First Here? - Charlestown, MA Patch /listings/citibank-325 http://charlestown.patch.com/articles/visions-for-vacancy-what-tenant-should-be-first-here/media_attachments/edit?upload_started=1369377479 This week, Visions for Vacancy turns its eyes toward a Charlestown storefront that has never had a commercial tenant. Tim Doherty, a vice president with building owner Cornerstone Corporation, said a number of potential clients expressed interest in the 2,500 square foot space over the years, but none of them seemed quite right. “We as landlords are ready willing and able to do a deal,” Doherty said, but only for the right kind of tenant. (We’ll have more on that early next week). In the mean time, Cornerstone has let the Charlestown World War II History display use the space nestled between Olives and Olivia Browning of Charlestown. He said the space is a shell that could be configured to hold any kind of business—from restaurant to gym to office space. What do you think would be right there? What about a "mini" version of Trader Joe's like what they have in downtown Boston? Trader Joe's is an excellent idea! Love that idea, Mary Kay! It seems like we have a lot of agreement on this one. Would anyone like to see something other than a Trader Joe's? I'd love to see a Chipotle. TJ's is a great idea! Would also love another restaurant- just not subs or pizza. Nothing against sandwiches or pizza, I love 'em- but we have plenty of great places for those already. Trader Joe's is a great idea, we already have fast food. Is the empty Friendly's site too small? The mall has parking, which City Square lacks. We need a bakery, like Modern in Medford Square Trade Joe's Location Request Link - http://www.traderjoes.com/about/location-requests-form.asp Can we get a fishmonger in here? Foodmaster fish is gross I would love a Mexican Restaurant. Charlestown is in desperate need of more places to go out to eat!

Explore and Discover Nature: More Marine Mammals Southern Right Whales really were too big to fit onto the pages of At the Beach! They are pretty special whales fighting their way back from near extinction. This recent article http://www.stuff.co.nz/science/8514824/Southern-Right-Whale-sightings-on-the-rise says that between 2003 and 2010 there were 28 mother-calf pair sightings around New Zealand. This may not sound like many, but this is an increase in numbers from before 2003. I wonder if they've counted a sighting by me and some friends off of Banks Peninsula back in 2009. At the time we didn't know what kind of whales we were looking at. It wasn't until I got home and checked online that we realised we'd seen rare Southern Right Whales. I rang the special DOC Hot line to report the sighting but it was several days late and they didn't seem that interested, probably because the whales would have moved on by then so they couldn't send scientists out to look at them. Southern Right Whales don't have a dorsal fin (that's the fin on the back of some whales) so have a smooth shaped back. They also have flippers which are a squarish shape, you can see one in the picture above. Not easy to take photos of whales from the land. But we were definitely looking at a mother and calf. Here's a great online identification guide http://www.environment.gov.au/coasts/species/cetaceans/whale-watching/identification.html which I found useful.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates generally to electrical power distribution components. More particularly, the invention relates to automatic reclosers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The basic functions of an electrical power system are to continuously maintain an adequate and reliable supply of electric power to customers. However, performing these functions is not always possible because various types of failures occur randomly and beyond the control of system engineers. Power system planners, designers, and operators are generally concerned with the reliability of their systems and the determination of realistic availability targets for their systems. Recently, this concern has been accentuated by the introduction of competition in the marketplace among utility companies. Now, utility companies are jockeying among themselves to provide distinguishable services in an effort to sustain existing customers and to attract new customers. As a result, power system operators are constantly developing improved components for power distribution systems that will enhance the system's reliability. For example, many power utilities around the world use fuses on their lateral lines. In addition to fuses, utilities may employ an automatic power restoration device or recloser. A recloser is used in an electrical distribution system to protect high voltage power lines by minimizing power distribution interruptions caused by transients or faults. In operation, a recloser acts as an intelligent circuit breaker. In this sense, a recloser opens or trips a circuit when a certain event occurs; usually this event is the appearance of current, voltage, and/or frequency in a line. In one sense, when the recloser detects an overcurrent, i.e., current exceeding a predetermined threshold, the recloser will trip. The recloser serves to isolate the faulted portions of the line by opening that portion. The recloser then closes the open portion of the circuit after a predetermined period of time, usually when the appearance of current, voltage, and/or frequency disappears. A recloser control device, which can be an electronic control circuit, operates a recloser. A recloser is usually mounted to a pole or tower that suspends power lines above the ground. However, use with below ground systems is also known. More particularly, reclosers are electromechanical devices, similar to circuit breakers. Reclosers are distributed at one or more locations along a power line, typically upline from a fuse. When a fault condition is detected by the recloser controller, the recloser will begin to timeout. In other words, the recloser controller will initiate a trip to open the recloser if the fault condition has not cleared itself during a fixed time interval, where the time interval is a function of current. Then, after a time delay, as the name suggests, the recloser will close, and if the fault condition has been cleared, power service is restored. If, however, the fault condition has not been cleared, the recloser controller will again trip open the recloser after a second fixed time interval. If, after a predetermined number of reclose operations, the fault condition has not been cleared, the recloser controller will permanently lockout the recloser (i.e., permanently open the circuit). The circuit then remains open until the system is repaired and/or the fault condition is eliminated. Thus, a primary function of a recloser is to save fuses. In general, this is done by sensing the peak value of the current conducted and interrupting its flow by opening or tripping a recloser before a fuse blows. After an interval or time delay, the recloser closes, thereby restoring power to the system where it remains closed until the next fault is sensed. The rate at which a fuse will blow and interrupt current is a function of the thermal heating of the fusible element. The rate of thermal heating is proportional to the power generated by the fault and each fuse has a time current characteristic which describes the time interval required to interrupt the fault current. The time interval is generally approximately inversely proportional to the value of the root mean square of the fault current. It is desirable to coordinate the recloser with the fuses to be saved to insure that the recloser in fact interrupts temporary fault currents before the fuses to be protected are blown. This is generally done by approximating the root mean square value of the fault current by sensing its peak value. It must also be recognized that not all faults which occur on a power distribution line are temporary, such as those caused by a branch momentarily falling against the line. Some faults are of a more permanent nature such as those caused by a line falling to the ground. As a consequence, reclosers are built so that they will only trip a limited number of times within a short duration before locking open. Were this not done, a recloser would cycle until failure and many of the fuses to be protected would blow anyway. At some magnitude of fault current it is desirable to have the recloser open immediately to protect the line rather than following an inverse time current characteristic. At intermediate levels it may be desirable from the power distribution standpoint to allow the fault current to flow for a limited period to allow the fault to burn itself open or blow the fuse. Many reclosers have alternate inverse time current characteristics which achieve this goal. Typically, a recloser will allow two shots or trip operations to follow a fast time current characteristic and two additional shots along a somewhat slower time current characteristic before locking open or out. Conventional reclosers for three phase systems open all three phases at the same time upon detection of a fault on any one phase. Additionally, a recloser can partially trip. That is, the recloser trips only one phase or two phases of three phases, on a three phase electrical power line. For example, if a fault is detected on only one phase of a network distribution, the recloser will open on that phase only and leave the remaining phases operational. For a two phase fault, the recloser opens only those two phases where the fault occurs and leaves the remaining phases operational. This feature allows an electric utility to prevent unnecessary three phase power outages in their distribution networks when the interruption is only single phase or two phase. However, when a recloser trips only a single phase or two phases, a current imbalance in the distribution network can result. This current imbalance in turn can cause higher neutral/ground currents. The increase in neutral/ground current could be overcurrent and can appear as a ground fault to the system. Overcurrent in the neutral/ground line results in a three phase trip. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent a three phase trip after a partial trip of a recloser because the design of a partial trip is to prevent a three phase trip. Therefore, a need exists for apparatuses and methods for automatically adjusting the current threshold of a neutral/ground line after a partial trip, thereby preventing a three phase trip. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to apparatuses and methods for preventing a three phase trip of a power line in a power distribution network delivering electrical power through a plurality of current carrying conductors and a neutral/ground line. The three phase trip is prevented after a change in the current in the neutral/ground line caused by a partial trip of a recloser. In an exemplary method, a partial trip in the power distribution network is detected, and then a threshold current is automatically adjusted from a first level to a second level for the neutral/ground line. The threshold current represents the amount of current the neutral/ground line will draw before activating a three phase trip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram an electric power transmission system 100. Generally, electric power transmission system 100 comprises three major components: generating facilities that produce the electric power, a transmission network that carries the electric power from the generation facilities to a distribution system, and the distribution system that delivers the electric power to the consumer. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 1, a power generation source 101 is a facility that produces electric power. Power generation source 101 includes a generator (not shown) that creates the electrical power. The generator may be a large diesel engine or gas turbine, for example. Alternatively, the generator may be a steam turbine operated by burning coal, oil, natural gas, or a nuclear reactor. In each case, power generation source 101 provides three phase alternating current (AC) power. The AC power typically has a voltage of a few thousand volts. A transmission substation (not shown) then increases the voltage from power generation source 101 to high-voltage levels for long distance transmission on high-voltage transmission lines 102. Typical voltages found on high-voltage transmission lines 102 range from about 69 to about 800 kilovolts (kV). High-voltage transmission lines 102 are supported by high-voltage transmission towers 103. High-voltage transmission towers 103 are large metal support structures attached to the earth, so as to provide a ground potential to system 100. High-voltage transmission lines 102 carry the electric power from power generation source 101 to a substation 104. A typical distance between power generation source 101 and substation 104 is approximately three hundred miles. High-voltage transmission lines 102 typically consist of four wires, three current-carrying conductors for each phase of the three phase AC power and one neutral conductor. Generally, substations act as a distribution point in system 100 and a point at which voltages are stepped-down to reduced voltage levels. Substation 104 converts the power on high-voltage transmission lines 102 from transmission voltage levels to distribution voltage levels. In particular, substation 104 uses transformers 107 that step down the transmission voltages from their original levels (e.g., about 69 to about 800 kV) to distribution voltages that typically are less than about 10 kV. In addition, substation 104 may include an electrical bus (not shown) that serves to route the distribution level power in multiple directions. Furthermore, substation 104 often includes circuit breakers and switches (not shown) that permit substation 104 to be disconnected from high-voltage transmission lines 102 when a fault occurs on the lines. Substation 104 typically is connected to a distribution transformer 105. Distribution transformer 105 may be an aerial transformer located atop a telephone or electric pole, or a pad-mounted transformer located on the ground, for example. Voltage levels between substation 104 and distribution transformer 105 typically are less than about 10 kV. Distribution transformer 105 steps-down the voltage to voltage levels required by a customer premise 106, for example. Such voltages typically range from about 240 volts to about 440 volts. Also, distribution transformer 105 may function to distribute one, two or all three phases of the three phase current to customer premise 106, depending upon the demands of the user. Delivering power from the generation source 101 to the customer premise 106 is a difficult task. Oftentimes, faults and disturbances occur in the system and interrupt the delivery of power. A fault is a failure in the electrical delivery system. Typically, during a system disturbance, large increases in current will occur. If, however, a recloser (such as recloser 10) is implemented in the system, during a system disturbance, the recloser will sense a current increase and will operate by opening and effectively cutting off current flow in order to protect the distribution system and its components. Since many fault conditions are temporary, a recloser is designed to close after a short period of time, thereby establishing normal current flow. For example, during a thunderstorm, if lightning were to strike the distribution system, the power to one's home may be disrupted for a few seconds causing lights and appliances to turn OFF (recloser opening), then ON (recloser closing). Once the recloser closes, if it senses the continued presence of increased current, it will again open. Such cycling between open and closed may occur three times before the recloser remains open. It should be understood that the term �recloser�, as used herein, covers various combinations of reclosers, sectionalizers, circuit breakers and the like, which may also be used within the scope of this invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary recloser coupled to a three phase power line in which the present invention may be embodied. With reference to FIG. 2, an exemplary recloser 10 is attached to a three phase power line, as shown. The recloser 10 comprises four poles 15. The power line 20 is a three phase power line with three power lines 25 each carrying a separate phase and a neutral or ground line 27. Three poles 15 are connected to an associated power line 25, thereby being energized by an associated phase. The fourth pole 15 is connected to the neutral or ground line 27. The recloser 10 is controlled by recloser controller 5. The basic components of an automatic recloser 10 are a high-speed circuit breaker, overcurrent protection, trip logic, and automatic closing logic with an operation counter. When an overcurrent of sufficient magnitude (i.e., greater than a predetermined amount of current) flows through the recloser 10, the tripping action is initiated and a circuit interrupting contact within the affected pole(s) 15 opens with an operation counter advancing one count. After a preset time delay, the recloser contacts are automatically closed, thereby re-energizing the associated power line 25. If the fault persists, this tripping and reclosing sequence is repeated a predetermined number of times, as set by the controller 5, until a lockout function is initiated. If the fault was transient and cleared during any period when the recloser 10 was open, then the recloser 10 will remain closed after a short time delay, reset to its original condition ready for the next operation. An exemplary recloser for use with the present invention is the VR-3S recloser manufactured and distributed by ABB Power T&D Company, Inc., Raleigh, N.C. Magnetic actuators open and close the recloser's main contacts. More particularly, the recloser 10 is controlled by microprocessor-based controller 5 that contains software. There are two basic design areas that make up a microprocessor-based controller 5. The physical elements, such as integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, displays, switches, and so forth, are called �hardware�. Once constructed, they are not readily changeable. The second basic design area in the microcomputer includes computer programs and documentation. These elements are called �software� since they are readily changeable. A microcomputer based on a microprocessor and associated memories and interfacing components is used in the recloser controller 5 to process input signals in a manner appropriate to the basic requirement for a recloser control. The microprocessor performs the various arithmetic and logic functions of the control. In particular, the required logic circuits as well as capabilities for servicing are typically included. Memory is provided for temporarily and/or permanently storing data. In a recloser 10, for example, this information would include line current magnitudes. Read only memory (ROM) is preferably electrically programmable for easy modification and is used for storing programming information. In a recloser controller 5, for example, the memory module contains command information including multiple time-current characteristic curves. An exemplary control unit is the PCD2000 power control device manufactured and distributed by ABB Power T&D Company, Inc., Raleigh, N.C. The control device can provide an interface for remote communication with SCADA systems using MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII, and DNP 3.0 protocols. The controller can be programmed to implement other protocols. Ports are available for external links through a radio, modem, or direct fiber optic communications, for example. Typical command information for a recloser controller includes first time current characteristics for phase and ground currents which usually result in the more rapid tripping of the recloser 10, and second time current characteristics for phase and ground currents which usually result in the recloser 10 remaining closed longer under fault conditions. FIG. 3 is a graph showing time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser. The characteristics shown are those that would typically be stored in a recloser controller. The two curves shown are the time and current characteristics of a neutral/ground line 110 (such as line 27 of FIG. 2) and the time and current characteristics of a phase line 120 (such as one of the lines 25 of FIG. 2). Typically, although not always, the time and current characteristics of the neutral phase are lower and thus more sensitive than the phase line. This is graphically illustrated by curve 110 being below curve 120. Points 112 and 122 on their respective curves represent the amount of current at which the recloser will open the circuit and in what amount of time. Points 112 and 122 are commonly referred to as pickup points, i.e., the point at the least amount of current will trip the recloser. The pickup points are also commonly referred to as overcurrent and the terms may be used interchangeably herein. For example, if current I appears in a neutral line exhibiting the characteristics of curve 110, it will take time T for the recloser controller to open the circuit via the recloser. In a partial trip of a recloser, each phase of the recloser is individually monitored (i.e., each line 25 is individually monitored) by the recloser controller and can be tripped through the protection elements on the phase that detects fault current (i.e., current above the pickup threshold level) to initiate a phase to trip open. In determining if a single phase is faulted, a protection element within the recloser detects a fault condition. The protection element enters pickup, then after predetermined time elapses, a trip operation results. It is possible to trip any and all phases that are in the pickup state at the time trip is determined. In normal operation, the three phases (vectors) of power system sum to zero which result in zero current flowing through the ground or return line 27. However, a partial trip of a recloser often causes the lines of the system to become unbalanced. The line unbalance results in current being drawn through the neutral/ground line 27. The recloser controller 5 that is monitoring the system detects this unbalance but knows that this unbalance is the result of the partial (one or two phase) trip and not a ground fault. In order to prevent the ground line from subsequently erroneously tripping due to the load imbalance, in accordance with the invention, the recloser controller (and thus the recloser) automatically adjusts the threshold current at which the neutral/ground line will trip. FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of an exemplary method of adjusting the current threshold of a neutral/ground line in accordance with the invention. First, at step 300, the recloser controller recognizes that the recloser has performed a partial trip. It should be noted that the recloser and recloser controller desirably recognize that a partial trip has occurred. This is so because, had a partial trip not occurred, then a variation in the current of the neutral line would likely mean that a fault occurred somewhere in the system and the recloser preferably trips in its normal manner, as described above. After recognizing a partial trip, at step 305, the recloser controller measures the current that appears in the neutral/ground line due to the load imbalance. The recloser controller, at step 310, automatically adjusts the current threshold of the neutral/ground line from a first current threshold level to a second current threshold level. The current measured at step 305 can be used in the determination of the threshold level. Preferably, the second current threshold level of the neutral/current line is equal to the minimum operating point or pickup point of the phase line. In this manner, if the current in the neutral/ground line exceeds the minimum operating point of the phase line, then all three phases will trip according to its time and current characteristic curve. After adjusting the current threshold, the recloser controller continuously monitors the current in the neutral line at step 315, and based on the status of the line, responds accordingly. More particularly, if the current in the neutral line exceeds the raised current threshold, then the recloser controller initiates a three phase trip, at step 320. Thus, a three phase trip can still occur. On the other hand, at step 322, if the current in the neutral line falls below the first current threshold level, then the recloser controller adjusts the current threshold current back to the first current threshold. Moreover, as represented by step 324, if the current in the neutral line maintains about the same level, then the recloser controller will continue to monitor the current in the neutral/ground line. It is contemplated that adjusting the current threshold is implemented in the software of the recloser controller. However, the adjusting can be done from many other locations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. FIG. 5 is a graph showing further time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser in accordance with the invention. Similar to curve 110 in FIG. 3, curve 310 represents the time and current characteristics of a neutral or ground line. Similar to curve 120 in FIG. 3, curve 320 represents the time and current characteristics of one of the phase lines. In operation, after a partial trip occurs (single or two phase), a current IR appears in the neutral line. Conventionally, once current IR appears in the neutral line, the line would trip in timex. However, in accordance with the present invention, once the current IR is detected by the recloser controller, the threshold current is automatically raised to a new level, e.g., ISET, responsive to the increase in the current in the neutral/ground line. Consequently, the neutral line will not trip until the current in the neutral line, IR, reaches ISET. Thus, a three phase trip is prevented because the recloser controller reacted to a change in the neutral line current due to a partial trip of a recloser and adjusted the current threshold. Had the recloser controller not adjusted the current threshold in neutral line, and IR exceeded the threshold current, a three phase trip would occur. As shown, ISET is the same as the minimum operating point 322 of the phase line represented by curve 320. Graphically speaking, once the partial trip is detected and IR appears in the neutral line, if ISET is set to the minimum operating point of curve 320, as is shown in FIG. 5, it is as if the curve 310 is shifted to curve 320. In other words, the time and current characteristics of the neutral line will be the same as the time and current characteristics of the phase line, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. It is appreciated that the adjusted current threshold, ISET, can be adjusted to any level. As stated earlier, in one embodiment of the invention, the adjusted current threshold can be set to the minimum operating point of curve 320. However, ISET can be set below or above the minimum operating point of curve 320. In another embodiment of the invention, instead of initiating a three phase trip when the current in the neutral/ground line exceeds the adjusted current threshold, the current threshold is adjusted to another level. In this manner, the current threshold may be adjusted several times before the current threshold reaches the current threshold of the phase line (e.g., the phase line represented by curve 320). FIG. 6 illustrates this situation. FIG. 6 is a graph showing additional time and current characteristics of an exemplary recloser in accordance with the invention. In FIG. 6, ISET1 is adjusted to a level that is below the minimum operating point 322 of curve 320 after the detection of an initial current IR1 in the neutral line. Consequently, if IR2 appears in the neutral line after the adjusted current threshold has been set to ISET1, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the recloser controller will again adjust the current threshold to level ISET2. This again prevents a three phase trip because, had the current threshold not been raised to level ISET2 then, all three phases would trip as a result of the line current exceeding the threshold current. It is appreciated that the current threshold whether it be the first current threshold level or the adjusted current threshold level may be set by any party whether it be the operator of utility lines or the manufacturer of the recloser controller without departing from the scope of the invention. Additionally, it is appreciated that the adjusting of the current threshold may be done on-line or off-line without departing from the scope of the invention. It is also appreciated that other conditions, other than overcurrent, may trip a recloser in accordance with the invention. Such as, for example, a variance in voltage, frequency or the like may also occur and trip a recloser in accordance with the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. Although exemplary embodiments of the invention has been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many additional modifications are possible in the exemplary embodiments without departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the invention. Accordingly, these and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims.

Frozen Politics Eh': Liberals show signs of life Stephane Dion must be breathing a sigh of relief. The vote on the last possible confidence motion that opposition parties can bring forth this spring took place on Monday. It was a NDP motion criticizing the government's ability to manage the economy. It was worded in such a way that the Liberals had no choice but to once again show their support without accidentally toppling the government. The motion was defeated 109 - 89 (40 BQ, 27 NDP, Liberals 20, Independent 2). The Liberals demonstrated a different strategy from other confidence votes this session. Enough MPs showed up to make the vote at least respectable. On previous occasions they sent the front bench to vote with some relevant critics and the occasional backbencher. On this vote the top brass of the party including the whips did not vote. Instead they had 12 critics and 8 backbenchers to represent the party. Now that the Liberals are past the stage of constantly being embarrassed by in-action they can begin working on their attempts to regain power. There are plenty of scandals both relevant and completely in left field to attack the government. Over the summer they will unroll planks of their election platform in order to begin building public support. The vote demonstrates that the Liberals are filling their roll as Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Democracy works best when the government has a strong opposition to hold it accountable. By definition the Bloc cannot do the job. The NDP has done an admirable job bringing up important issues and avoiding scandals that only help to score political points. Hopefully the Liberals will continue to return to fill their roll as the official opposition. Posted by ehwhy at 6:08 AM

A Nook for Books: Review & Author Guest Post: The Priest and the Peaches by Larry Peterson By: Larry PetersonPub. Date: December 21, 2011Publisher: Tribute BooksSource: PublisherHistorical fiction novel set in the Bronx in the mid-1960s. After their father died, eighteen year old Teddy and his seventeen year old sister, Joanie are forced to become adults quickly and take care of their three younger brothers-Dancer, Beeker and Joey. While planning their father's funeral, and trying to get everything in order, they realize their father owed a lot of money. Teddy has to figure out how to pay for three months worth of rent, electric, and gas. I really liked Teddy. He was a fantastic older brother and did right by his brothers and sister. He was able to hold everyone together, and he never complained. He was very admirable. The other characters were also great! The Peach children are hilarious and their father's friends are definitely an interesting set of characters! While I am not of fan of religious books and the power of God, I really liked how the Peaches religious views were incorporated into the story. They believed that their father was watching them from heaven and helping them by giving them small miracles. As I said earlier, The Priest and the Peaches was also very funny. So many times I found my self laughing out loud at some of things the Peaches' said. And that funeral? That funeral was one of the most exciting and crazy funerals I have ever heard read about. This story really is about family. It had a wonderful message and it was just all around a great book to read. I read it in two settings. Everything flowed very nicely and the ending was beautiful! I would highly recommend The Priest and the Peaches. It is a feel good story, and sometimes you need a story like that! Today, author Larry Peterson dropped by the blog. Here is what he has to say: Having said all of that I now admit that I experienced an enhanced range of rolling emotions when The Priest and The Peaches launched. Slippery Willie's Stupid, Ugly Shoes, my first published book and a children's book, was introduced in January 2011. That provided an emotional ride but this time, well, this is a novel and I am being tossed about by unpredictable waves of feelings. There is a personal pride in the work accompanied by a sense of accomplishment. There are feelings of excitement knowing you can say you are an author. There is definitely a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for those who encouraged and supported me (especially my wife, Marty, and Nicole Langan at Tribute Books). Finally, and this is the under-tow or mini tsunami coming the other way, there is a nagging feeling of insecurity that keeps whispering in my ear, "You wrote a book? You gotta be kidding." Once I get that "whisperer" to shut up I'll be good to go.Thank you so much Larry for stopping by and thank you for writing such a beautiful book! KateFebruary 9, 2012 at 9:08 AMGreat review and interesting insight by the author!ReplyDeleteLalaineFebruary 9, 2012 at 9:21 AMRecommended? Then Id have to add this on my list!

I'm with you - you can't help but laugh out loud at certain passages. Anyone who's been around young children will certainly see how the antics of Joey and Dancer are so true to life.

PANDU SPOT: Srikalahasti Temple This temple is one of the most impressive Siva temples in India. Vishwakarma Brahmin Sthapthis who sculpted this temple need to be eulogized for their excellent architectural cognizance. This temple features an enormous, ancient gopuram (entrance tower) over the main gate. The tower is 36.5 m (120 ft) high. The entire temple is carved out of the side of a huge stone hill. The initial structure of this temple was constructed by the Pallava dynasty in the 5th century. The Chola kings and the Vijayanagara kings also gave great help for the temple development. Like other great temples, the construction period of Sri Kalahasthi temple lasted centuries. Around the 10th century, the Chola kings renovated the temple and constructed the main structure. The outer walls and the four gopurams were constructed in the period of Sri Veera Narasimharayar in 12th century. The 120 feet (37 m) high main gopuram and the 100 pillar mandapam were constructed by Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagara king in 1516. Mr.Ramanathan Nattukkottai Chettiyar of Devakkottai, developed the structure as it is today by spending one million dollars in 1912.[citation needed]. Tamil saints Nayanars like Appar, Sundarar and Sambanthar praised the deity in their hymns—the tevaram. Sri Kalahasti is named after the staunch devotees of Lord Shiva. They were the Spider (Sri), the Serpent (Kala) and the Elephant (Hasti). Appeased with their unflinching devotion, Lord Shiva gave them a boon that their names be merged with the Vayulinga and called as Sri Kalahasteeswara According to Hindu mythology, the elephant or Hasti used to clean the Shiva deity by watering the idol with the help of river-water carried in his trunks and pray for him by placing Vilva leaves. The spider or Sri tried to protect the deity from external damage by weaving his web and to provide shelter for the Shiva lingam. The snake or Kala used to place its precious gem on the linga to adorn the lord. In this way, they all worshipped the Vayu linga separately without knowing what the other was doing. There are several other legends connected to the glory of the temple. Prominent among them is of Parvati who was cursed by Lord Shiva to discard her heavenly body and assume the human form. To get rid off the above curse Parvati did a long penance here. Pleased with her deep devotion Lord Shiva again restored her body – a hundred times better than her previous heavenly body and initiated various mantras including the Panchakshari. Consequent of this, Parvati gained and came to be known as Shiva-Gnanam Gnana Prasunamba or Gnana Prasunambika Devi. Cursed to became a ghost Ghanakala prayed at Srikalahasti for 15 years and after chanting Bhairava Mantra many times Lord Shiva restored her original form. To Bhakta Markandeya, Lord Shiva appeared in Sri Kalahasti and preached that a Guru alone could make esoteric teachings and, therefore he is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. Rahu – Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Puja Srikalahasteeswara Swamy Temple is reputed as the Rahu Kethu Kshetra, If the People who have Rahu Kethu Doshas and Sarpa Doshas, the un married and No children and those who are facing various problems for long period and perform the most effective Rahu – Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana Puja in this Temple all the Doshas get removed and desired results occur.

This is offered in three variations, all of which serve the same purpose but offer varying degrees of comfort and special treatment for the devotee. There are 3 rates for pooja; Rs. 300/, Rs. 750/- and Rs. 1500/-. While Rs. 300/- and Rs. 750/- pooja is performed outside prakaram(outer courtyard), and Rs. 1500/- is performed within temple premises. While you can perform pooja at any time, performing pooja during rahu kalam is considered to be auspicious. Sunday and Tuesday are the best days to perform pooja as Sunday and Tuesday are the days considered to be for Rahu and Kethu.(The Devastanam will arrange all Puja Materials) Nithya Kalyanotsavam Nithya Kalyana Seva is conducted to Sri Siva – Parvathi daily in the name of the donors along with abhisheka aradhana payment of Rs.550/-.

Nithya Annadana scheme Annasritani bhutani, annam paranamitrisruti tasmad annasn annamhi paramohini There is no gift superior to Annadanam, the tradition of providing food to the sunging has been followed since the Vedic period. Annadata Sukhibhava (may the provider of food be happy) say the ancients, several crores of merits occur due to this pious act.

Generous contributions of the devotees on the basis of this scheme will be welcomed in the form of D.D. in person drawn in favour of the executive officer. Temple tower collapse The RajaGopuram of SriKalahasti Temple collapsed on 26 May 2010 as feared. According to sources, vibrations from borewell digging in the vicinity directly contributed to the collapse. "The digging goes on up to a depth of 500–600 ft," a geologist reasoned. Archaeologists and experts, looking into the reasons of the imposing structure crashing down, found that it stood on a foundation that had a depth of only one-and-a-half feet.

In Lake Placid, which is 10 miles away, cabins like you were looking for run from $1500 to $2500 per night. Obviously the little man and Mom and Pop cabins are on the way out. In NYS it is now illegal to even advertise a bed and breakfast where the owner lives on the property. I am almost 80 and my wife has been ill. In 10 years, all the Mom and Pop cabins will be gone. The mouse problem is an ongoing struggle and we are sorry that you found a dead mouse. We really do try to keep ahead of them. There are 3 electronic mouse repellers in that cabin and normally they work quite well. You must also take into consideration that our cabins are built in the mices living room and I guess they figure they were here first. In the fall, all the mice are looking for a place to camp for the winter. Jon Bombard This place is wonderful! Very quaint and charming. It's out in the woods, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, yet still a 5 minute drive to the downtown area with great restaurants and bars. We kayaked St. Regis lake and hiked St. Regis mountain (30 minutes away) and visited t… Amazing spit hidden from the world but only 5 minutes from Saranac Lake and 10 from Lake Placid. 10x better value for a private getaway with my girlfriend in a quiet area. We enjoyed our stay so much we plan on returning again soon! We had a great weekend get-away. The accomodations were rustic and comfortable. Our pooch had a great time too. The place is secluded and nice. Filled with things you would find in an antique store. The outdoor shower was a fun touch and loved the screened in porch area. Heat source in the house was good too. We spent a long weekend there hiking, checking out local breweries, and relaxin… Thanks for your constructive criticism. Will take care of the cover.

Railways to try Japanese technology in bio-toilets at stations - The Economic Times Business News›Industry›Transportation›Railways›Railways to try Japanese technology in bio-toilets at stations Sep 16, 2018, 04.35 PM IST The national transporter is addressing the biggest complaint that passengers have with its trains and stations -- toilets. The public transporter has faced public criticism for stinking toilets, especially in long-distance trains. Smooth functioning of toilets is very essential for Indian Railways as some train journey lasts for 30 to 40 hours. Besides, Indian Railways also plans to test hybrid toilets -- bio-vacs -- which are bio-toilets with the vacuum flush facility. It is procuring 2,000 bio-vacuum hybrid toilets for 500 coaches and will scale up depending on the response. The Railways aims to complete the installation of bio-toilets in all coaches by March 2019. The bio toilets were fitted first in new coaches and then retrofitted in the old ones. This is done at railway workshops in Mumbai's Parel, Bhopal and Jhansi. Railways has set a high target of installing 90,000 bio-toilets in 22,500 coaches in the current fiscal.

And in my opinion, this is one of the very few, very best - and i think it's probably the best one - that realistically shows all the features of this wild animal, the eyes, the stand, the horn, the ears, tail ... Extremely well done !. If it were of a size of a real one, it would be difficult to tell the difference, particularly when looking at it at the sunset time ! This one stands out, apart from lots of other ones, being made with stiff, "fake" features that obviously show only the half- real look of this animal, which animal is feared even by the lion, let alone by the tiger , popularly mis - thought as being the most powerful wild predator . An item of a cheap price but of very good quality, indeed !

soymilk on a sunday | Page 2 May 22, 2016 ~ nysha ~ 3 Comments During our spring trek to Northern Arizona, we stopped by the Wupatki National Monument, a well-known Native American ruins. It is one of several sites preserving pueblos, ancient villages, and was once habited by the Anasazi and Sinagua Indians in the 12th & 13th century. In the Hopi language, Wupatki Pueblo means ‘big house’ as it was once a home to a community of three hundred people. Distant Photographs March 31, 2016 ~ nysha ~ 2 Comments “I wish that photographs were physical spaces, like tunnels; that you could crawl inside them and go back.” -Lauren Oliver, Vanishing Girls I would love to crawl into a photograph, spiraling back in time, into a place where the future seemed so far away, where my father’s arms seemed like the width of the world, and each day was a glimpse into eternity. The past, faded memories, scratched up receipts and christmas cards, glitter falling off of old artwork from preschool, catch and release, and suddenly we are here, conclusion of March, grasping onto things and people that no longer exist Treasure Find! Scottsdale’s Old Town March 28, 2016 March 28, 2016 ~ nysha ~ 10 Comments The Old Town of Scottsdale is full of character and vibrancy.

Harvesting Oranges in Sunny Arizona January 20, 2016 January 20, 2016 ~ nysha ~ Leave a comment Fruit picking can be such a joyful time of bonding and reflecting upon nature’s wonders. Orange trees are a norm in sunny Arizona but my Chicago-blooded heart still cries a little bit inside whenever I see a patch of orange speckles against a sea of lush green. Our church friends bought a house that was built on what was once a large orange orchard. They have a little forest of orange trees growing in their backyard… its so wonderful. I was a bit jealous at first but then had a few nightmares wondering what they could do with all those oranges. Maybe create a lucrative orange bakery? That’s what I would do!

Nelson, Jeffery A. Sanders, Alan W. Treece, William C. Forsythe, Clay W. LutherOriginal AssigneeCisco Technology, Inc.Export CitationBiBTeX, EndNote, RefManPatent Citations (7), Referenced by (57), Classifications (33), Legal Events (4) External Links: USPTO, USPTO Assignment, EspacenetMethod and apparatus for accessing a database through a networkUS 6601065 B1Abstract A system (10) includes a client (14, 21) which can communicate through a network (12) and a database layer (29) with any of several databases (31-33). The client communicates with the database layer using a public network communication protocol, in a manner independent of respective protocols specific to each of the databases. The database layer handles communication with each database according to the respective protocol of that database. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION During recent years, the number of different types of databases in active use has been expanding, including recent popularity of databases conforming to the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Other types of databases include large scale relational databases. Unfortunately, each of these types of database tends to have its own protocol for access. A further development is that, with the rapid expansion of the Internet and other types of computer networks, more and more of these databases are becoming available by network. However, due to the wide variety of protocols needed to access these various databases, it is difficult for any single application program to have all of the intelligence needed to handle all of these protocols and thus communicate with most or all of these types of databases. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION From the foregoing, it may be appreciated that a need has arisen for a method and apparatus by which a client can access a repository through a network, where the client uses a protocol different from a protocol specific to the repository. According to the present invention, a method and apparatus are provided to address this need, and involve: providing a network through which can be transmitted message units that contain information in a digital form; transmitting from a client through the network a message which is in the form of at least one message unit and which contains a request directed to a repository, the request being in a first format conforming to a public network communication protocol; receiving the request from the network; thereafter converting the request from the first format to a second format compatible with a protocol of the repository; using the request in the second format to access the repository and obtain from the repository a response to the request, the response being in the second format; converting the response from the second format to the first format; and transmitting through the network to the client a further message which is in the form of at least one message unit and which contains the response in the second format. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system 10 which embodies the present invention. The system 10 includes a network 12, which is of a known type that is commonly used to transfer digital information between computers. Information is sent through the network 12 in the form of packets or message units, which include digital data and control information. In the disclosed embodiment, the network 12 includes a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN) such as an intranet conforming to the industry standard known as Ethernet, and/or a combination of such local and wide area networks.

Cropredy | FaithWorld Cat Stevens | Cropredy | entertainment | Fairport Convention | folk rock | Yusuf Islam The gradual return of Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, to mainstream rock reached another milestone at the weekend when the 1970s singer-songwriter hit the stage at Fairport's Cropredy Convention, telling the crowd that this was, remarkably, his first festival gig in 37 years. Now performing as simply Yusuf, the singer's appearance at the Oxfordshire festival was beautifully crafted, but in some ways as tentative as his emergence from decades of self-imposed exile as a devout convert to Islam. His appearance was as a "friend" of Fairport Convention, meaning that he only performed briefly in the iconic folk-rock band's top-of-the-bill closing set. The handful or so of songs may also have been a disappointment to some. He repeatedly fended off requests for the angst-anthem "Father and Son", saying he had not practised it. No room either for "Wild World", "Hard Headed Woman" or "Where do the Children Play?" But the crowd did get a fine taste of Yusuf's lyrical new album, including title track "Roadsinger", along with a couple of oldies such as "Ruins" from 1972's Catch Bull at Four album.

This will provide significant improvements for the Performing Arts space in the current Smith Gallery including raising the ceiling and stage areas, new and improved lighting, air conditioning, heating and installation of acoustic materials to enhance sound. We continue to seek funding for these important renovations. In addition, a footprint for what could be a future, larger Performing Arts space has been designated on the master plan. The utilities, septic field and other requirements for this future construction have all been considered and included with the work for the new addition. Construction of this additional space will be contingent upon need and funding availability. Q: When will construction begin? A: That depends upon the Board of Director’s decisions in January/February. Working with the design/build team, the Board will consider options for the most cost effective ways to move forward. We are so close! An impressive amount of donations and pledges have put us over $480,000; most have come from individual, private donors. We are looking to those who haven’t yet contributed, including businesses, to step forward in the next month as $40,000 to $50,000 in additional funds is still needed to begin construction of the new addition. Here’s a look at where we are in number/amount of pledges and donations: Gift Range Number of Gifts $100,000 1 $50,000 1 $25,000 4 $10,000 9 $5,000 10 $2,500 10 $1,000 24 Less than $1,000 58 We encourage gifts in any range and hope that many more in the less than $1,000 category will help put us over the goal. Q: Would all the work be done at once? What is the timeframe for completion? Why build now? A: Once started, Phase I for the new addition should be completed in five to eight months. The renovation work, Phase II, would come next and could be done in smaller steps, depending upon funding. The renovation would include work on the current office spaces, the Performing Arts improvements and the exterior work, including landscaping. It is important to build now while construction costs are low; approvals are in place and contracts with our design/build team will give us the very best prices. Delays may mean increased prices in the future. Q: What about the Summer Gallery and Summer Arts programs? A: We are already working with the local Montessori School in planning for classroom space for Summer Arts during construction. We will suspend the Summer Gallery in August until construction is complete on the new addition. Q: Why does TCA need a new gallery? How will it be used? A: This new gallery space will have various uses. Some exhibitions will focus on those artists that made Tubac famous as an art colony. Our Mission Statement includes “the collection and presentation of art that honors the artistic and historic heritage of Tubac and the Santa Cruz Valley”. Already we have had donations of two Ross Stefan paintings and the two missing pieces of the painting by Jean Wilson over our fireplace, which was originally a triptych. At other times there may be revolving use of the space as part of the current exhibition schedule and retrospectives of featured artists. TCA is not a museum and the gallery will change with current needs and featured artists. Posted by Tubac Center of the Arts has outgrown its current space . . . and now ist he time to move forward with expansion and renovation in order to better serve the people of the valley in the 21st century. To accomplish this goal, your help is essential. Several donation options are available.Currently we have inadequate gallery and performance space, no dedicated workshop and classroom space, no meeting space, no permanent exhibition space, inadequate restroom facilities, shortage of work space, as well as limited shipping and receiving areas.Additional square footage and renovation will meet our needs for today and into the future, but this cannot be achieved without your support and donations. Thanks to the dedicated support of numerous community leaders, we are halfway to our fundraising goal, but to succeed, we depend on the generous help and donations of all our members and friends.GOAL: $700,000.DEADLINE: May, 2012BREAK GROUND: March 2012COMPLETION: Fall, 2012

Most of your writings have been great with build up of suspense and plot. Then you throw in a bit of “private and personal” perspectives for some of the characters.

I really like how economically you describe the press of the club, the claustrophobia and Molli’s impossible situation. This is such a compact, dark and powerful issue. And the drawing is brilliant – the emptiness of Molli’s expression serves as a perfect counterpoint to the graphic scheme of her surroundings. on September 11, 2013 at 9:46 pm | Reply cherylmoore Hi Richard, thank you. Molli’s journey is perhaps one of the most isolated of all the characters as she has no one at all, and I’m glad that comes through in this story. As a contrast, most other characters have their friends and families to fall back on in hard times, (whether we as the reader are introduced to them or not) but poor Molli really is totally alone out there. I think she needs a hug! One day, maybe things will change for her? Even the Guild Master’s General was a fleeting instance in her life, inevitably deserting her. I think I may write some more Molli stories quite soon. I like the challenge she poses. Blog Stats 85,096 hits

Very close to the Fatima cathedral. It’s a good place if you plan to stay the night. Breakfast was ok, simple continental type. Very quiet. Nice bathroom. Room in general was spacious. Perfect Location at the Perfect Shrine The view from our room is the Basilica, it does not matter what time of day you look out the window, this beautiful church is very visible, lit at night and different cloud formation during day time. The distance from the Sanctuary in just a few minute walk away, which makes it perfect. Any closer could be a bit noisy. There is a grocery within a block away which makes it perfect in getting your ice cream, bottled water and if you are bless, a newly cooked egg custard. There are different types of restaurants around the area, all within walking distance. For 7 days that we stayed, we joined the nightly rosary and procession at the sanctuary that starts at 9:30 pm. and walking back to the hotel just before 11 pm was very safe. Also, I walked three times to visit where the 3 visionaries grew up and were Baptist was just a bonus. stanley, ca7 night romance trip Very close to the Sanctuary, the view of the Sanctuary was awesome from our window !

Crème de la Conservative: Canceling human space flight one of Obama's accomplishments Canceling human space flight one of Obama's accomplishments In possibly the most stunning reversal in the history of space exploration, the Obama administration has canceled the next generation US manned space launch program as the current shuttle system is retired. For the first time in the 50 years since the dawn of spaceflight, the US will lack the capability to send humans into space, except by buying rides on Russian spacecraft. The administration says that it will encourage small American companies to provide space transportation, but they are far from having that capability, and no one knows when they will. Obama has decided instead to put more money into "advanced technologies" for re-developing a space capability at some unknown future date. Many in the aging group of Apollo astronauts, who are normally adverse to public statements, have harshly criticized this move. Lunar explorer Eugene Cernan said, the Obama plan is “a blueprint for a mission to nowhere.” Neil Armstrong said in testimony before the US Senate, “If the leadership we have acquired through our investment is allowed simply to fade away, other nations will surely step in where we have faltered.” This is especially ironic because the last couple of shuttle flights will finish the building of the International Space Station, into which we have poured tens of billions of dollars. Now we won't have a way to get there, except by depending on the good will of our Russian friends. We are not only losing the ability to put humans into orbit, we will lose most of the technical infrastructure, the people skills, necessary to build the large, reliable rockets necessary to propel people into space, as well as the considerable skills of the astronaut corps which have been developed over the past 50 years. Now our astronauts will simply be passengers on Russian spacecraft. Already the first of thousands of technicians at NASA and its support companies are being laid off. Most will never return. When another administration reverses this policy, much of our capability will have to be re-built from scratch. That will take years. We are now probably decades away from having the capability we have had for the past half century. Of all the boneheaded decisions by this administration, this ranks right up there with the worst.

GlobalAndChina: B2C Online Shopping Industry Report, 2013-2016 B2C Online Shopping Industry Report, 2013-2016 Researchmoz presents this most up-to-date research on"China B2C Online Shopping Industry Report, 2013-2016".The report focuses primarily on quantitative market metrics in order to characterize the growth and evolution of the Remote Patient Monitoring Market. View Detail Report With TOC At : http://www.researchmoz.us/china-b2c-online-shopping-industry-report-2013-2016-report.html In 2008-2012, Chinese online shopping market size ascended from RMB128.2 billion to RMB1,303.0 billion at the CAGR of 78.6%. In H1 2013, the market valued RMB789.21 billion, up 41.2% year on year. Wherein, the B2C (Business to Customer) market scale hit RMB227.86 billion, accounting for 35.2% of the total online shopping market size. From the perspective of B2C shopping websites, Tmall (53.68%), Jingdong (17.10%), Suning.com (4.74%), Amazon China (2.72 %) and Yihaodian (2.47%) were the top 5 companies by share in Chinese B2C online shopping market in 2012. Although the competition pattern of the B2C market is bound to evolve over time, the B2C platform Tmall and the proprietary B2C website Jingdong will still occupy the leading positions firmly in the short term; however, the market share of other B2C websites will change with product strategy direction, marketing promotion and customer relationship management.

Jayne's Quilting Room: Happy New Year!! Did you celebrate the new year last night? We spent New Year's Eve with two couples that we've celebrated with for about 24 years now. Those two couple have been celebrating New Year's for even longer - over 30 years. We had a spirited game of dominoes going until about 5 minutes before midnight, at which time we halted play, and readied ourselves for celebrating. Our celebrations are of the low-key variety, but we never did get back to the dominoes table. The ride home was brutally frigid. The car thermometer read -9 degrees F. Even with the cold, though, the full moon was beautiful and cast such a glow on the snow. Tree branches were glistening with frost and if ever a place could be called magical, outdoors southern Ohio was just that to bring in 2018. The hoarfrost still clung to the branches this morning, and oh, how enchanting the new year looked out our windows. I was compelled to rush out to try to capture some pictures of the magic. I am eager for this new year. With a long arm machine to learn and use, along with quilts I want to make, 2018 promises to be a banner year for creating. I have made some preliminary lists, and hope to have a workable plan in place in the next couple of days, and of course these will be shared here. A publicly shared list is one that is more likely to be followed, don't you know. It makes one accountable, and I sorely need that! Until I do finalize my goals and plans, I have a sewing room to straighten up. Sharon is coming in the morning and our plan is to cut out that blue and white Monkey Wrench/Snowball quilt I shared here before Christmas. We need to find the cutting table under all the piles and stacks of stuff that have been precariously teetering there. I am about to devote a very focused hour of attention to that cutting table. Wish me luck! Happy Quilting, Friends, and Happy New Year! Posted by Jayne Honnold at 10:52 PM Labels: new year, Welcome January

Frozen Movie Review - The Searchlight Frozen: Different than other disney films Frozen is a Walt Disney movie produced in 2013. The movie is a story about Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) and her older sister Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), who has the power to create ice, frost and snow at will. As children, Anna was injured while playing with Elsa, so every memory that contains Elsa’s powers had to either be removed or altered. Their parents, the King and Queen, isolate the children in their castle until Elsa learns to control her powers. Afraid of hurting Anna again, Elsa spends most of her time alone in her room, causing the girls relationship to collapse. When the girls are teenagers, their parents die at sea during a storm. When Elsa comes of age, the kingdom prepares for her coronation as Queen. The sisters argue about Anna’s sudden engagement with Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, which causes Elsa to accidentally use her abilities during an emotional outburst. Fleeing the city, Elsa escapes into the mountains. Anna then goes on a long and dangerous adventure with Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and a snowman, Olaf to bring back her sister and save the kingdom from an eternal winter. The movie has several funny moments, most including Olaf. As my favorite character, Olaf is funny and very caring. There are also adorable moments, sad moments, happy moments, and even intense moments. There are songs that are sung throughout the movie, including the famous "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" sung by Kristen Bell. This movie also shows that you don’t need a man to save you, unlike other Disney movies. Elsa and Anna save each other, which shows how strong their sisterly bond is. This movie is great for people of all ages. Children will love it, and want to watch it again and again. If you haven't seen this movie yet, then I strongly recommend that you do, because it is definitely worth it.

cellJ: The Marriage Course - Pastors A Lifestyle of Enough Chinese Girl Ran over by Van Died Kuching Minister Fellowship Monthly Prayer Sand Art Worship Painting Married 72 years Dies Holding Hands Frequent Bible Reading Turns You Liberal Meals Ready - A Touching Short Film The Marriage Course - Pastors What About Job Religious Belief? Steve Job the Evangelist? 22 year Old Christian Mother to 13 Orphans Mothers' Union Choir from South Korea Our church had ran 4 Marriage courses since last year. The main organizers of The Marriage Course (TMC) are none other than Bro. Howe Tung and Sis.Chuei Lian. We are all very blessed by the work of this lovely couple. They are assisted by Bro.Arthur,Bro.Chew,Bro.Chai Say,Bro.Chin Luke, Sis.Amoi,Sis.Stella,and Sis.Teck Lan. After the last TMC that was completed late last month, Bro.Howe Tung and Sis Cheui Lian felt the need to bless the local pastors with their own marriage course. Like any event that needed funding, they sorted and got about 6 sponsors from our church to finance the event. Bro.Fan Ngian and Sis Siang Li, the Advisors of TMC came from Kuala Lumpur to help conduct the 3 days session at Lundu, a seaside resort about 130 Km from Kuching. The National Director of Alpha Malaysia, Bro.Lei Wei was also there to launch the event. The course was indeed encouraging and helpful to the pastors who work very hard and had not much time to relate to their wives. This course helps them to learn new ideas to build lasting marriages. There were 12 pastors and their wives attending. The TMC Advisor Bro. David and his wife also attended. Sis. Chuei Lian said: "Thanks everyone for your prayers & support ! It is so heart warming to hear the testimonies ! Thanks for blessings our pastors in Sarawak!" Thank God for all Bros. & Sis who supported this event in prayers.

Waking Up With the Whitmores: Cozy Day Must-Haves Growing up in sunny, southern California, I didn't really know (or at least take advantage) of cold days. Days where I could bundle up by the fireplace. Often times I wondered why the houses were even built with fireplaces! Now that I'm older and have lived in Idaho, Utah, Virginia, and now, North Carolina, I can appreciate the days where I want to bundle up and get cozy! Thank you to Parachute Home for inspiring this post, I have complied some of the things that I love to get all snug with on these chillier days. 1.) 1 & 4 really go together. Nothing beats some great hot chocolate in a fun mug. Thanks to these seasonal mugs at Anthro...they make the hot chocolate taste fancy ;) Limited Edition Golden Monogram Mug 2.) When we purchased our Love Sac earlier this year, we lucked out on a whole package being thrown into the mix! One of the items we received was a Foot Sac. It's a blanket with pockets for your feet at the bottom! One pocket for each person. So not only is it great to cuddle under, but your feet can stay warm in their own space! Footsac Blanket 3.) Ugg slippers are an absolute must for the cold season. I never really thought about getting slippers at all until I started visiting my in-laws in Connecticut. If you've ever been to the Northeast, you know how cold it gets. I hate walking around in socks because they are so slippery and only keep your feet so warm. I love my Ugg boots, so I thought, why not ask for the slippers. Although they can be a bit pricey, I do not regret them at all. I wear them ALL THE TIME! In fact, I have them on now! They are the most yummy house shoes! Dakota Ugg Slippers 4.) Making hot chocolate can be done different ways...microwave, stove...or the Cocomotion machine. My sister had one of these when she lived in Utah and I always wanted one. Bed, Bath and Beyond stopped selling them a couple years back, but luckily I had a friend selling hers. I purchased it for $20 and what an amazing job it does. It "froths" the coco and milk just right and the temperature is always spot on. We use it several times a week here at the Whitmore house. (And, of course, top it off with lots of whip cream!) Mr. Coffee Cocomotion Hot Chocolate Maker 5.) Once again, Anthropologie has done it again with their scent, Capri. Nothing says "let's get cozy" more than a scented candle flickering in the background! Capri Blue Iridescent Jar Candle 6.) I am not much of a reader, but I LOVE getting a load of magazines in the mail. They usually all come at once...yes, there are several I get. I love looking at the latest home and fashion trends, reading the inspirational stories, getting financial advice, and more. Flipping through the pages is such a relaxing thing for me! Real Simple Oprah 7.) Lots of places sell sweats, and for super cheap, but a couple years ago, I purchased J. Crew's sweat leggings and never looked back. I love that I could wear these out and about by dressing them up and wearing some cute loafers or I could just lounge around the house in them. These sweats have made me a sweat snob and I definitely need more of them! They are soft, comfortable and stylish. What more do you need...lounging around your house...? Whisper Jersey Leggings 8.) Parachute Bedding offers several different items for your bed, including the essentials...sheets. I love the powder color. They match my Pottery Barn duvet perfectly and would be awesome to add to any cozy day! Sheet Set We all have our own cozy must-haves! What are yours? I'd love to try them!

Three Part Plot: Success at Screening of The Economics of Happiness Success at Screening of The Economics of Happiness Andrew Lucas and Helena Norberg-Hodge The Melbourne screening of The Economics of Happiness happened on National Permaculture Day, Sunday 1 May. I think fair to say it was a success, with around 300 people coming. The documentary showed both the negative impacts of globalisation on our culture and happiness and environmental and economical stability, plus featured many positive stories of communities who are relocalising, reconnecting with their neighbours and patronising their local businesses. The Q&A Panel: Adam Grubb, Andrew Lucas and Helena Norberg-Hodge After the screening, we had a Question and Answer session with the film maker, Helena Norberg-Hodge, and Permablitz founder, Adam Grubb, and transition initiative enthusiast and founder of Transition Bell, Andrew Lucas. Themes raised during question time included: how to include the older generation or ethnic groups that the sustainability/transition movement does not initially attract: pass some of your produce over your fence to your neighbour! Even if you don't share a language, you may find your neighbour starts handing you some produce of theirs. Andrew tried and succeeded what to do about going to a Permablitz and the first thing you do is head to Bunnings for a shovel (national hardware store that local hardware stores struggle to compete against): try your local hardware store, or Freecycle or Sharehood: not every house needs a shovel! how to get companies re-regulated so the people have more control: demand it from your politicians One fact that interested people was a study on spending $100 at a bookshop. They found spending $100 at a book chain meant that only $13 stayed in the local economy, while $40-odd stayed in the economy if spent at an independent bookstore. This extra money went to management who were co-located, as well as services provided locally like accountants, lawyers and tradespeople. My main aim for hosting the screening was to act as a catalyst for more local activity plus increase the membership of permaculture and transition initiative groups. Going by the buzz in the foyer both before and after the screening, I think the activity definitely affirmed many people were heading in the same direction together and were pleased to see they weren't alone. The groups who helped put the screening on (Permablitz, Permaculture Inner North, Sustainable Fawkner, Transition Brunswick, Transition Darebin and Transition Banyule) all had many people put their name down to find out more information. I'll admit, even though I organised the event on behalf of Permaculture Inner North, not many people put their name down for this. But it was great people connected with the other groups: there is a lot of crossover between us all. Thanks to Helena for appearing at the first Melbourne screening, to Adam Grubb, Andrew Lucas and Andrew McClelland for being on the panel, to the above mentioned community groups for spreading the word and to Moreland and Darebin City Councils who supported the screening both financially and through marketing. Labels: permaculture, small business Natalie May 12, 2011 at 10:17 AM Wow, Sarah, that is fantastic. Congratulations on pulling off such an amazing event. I wish I could have been there. Living in the Adelaide hills I'm now starting to connect with my neighbours through local produce. My plot is in the back corner of the property and backs onto two other properties who also have their plots against the fence. Often we are out 'tending' at the same time and this year discovered that we were all growing zucchinis. We agreed that next year we will coordinate better so we grow different stuff so we can swap while we tend, instead of just comparing size! Congratulations again, I'm glad it was such a success! Hi Nat. Your connection with neighbours over the back fence sounds lovely. Stacey mentioned she now meets so many of her neighbours since she planted a vegie patch out the front. I'm awaiting a cookbook I ordered: The Classic Zucchini Cookbook. Very handy when there's a glut of zucchini (also has pumpkin recipes I'll use for my 22 pumpkins I harvested from two plants)
