Enhance Business Efficiency
The KX-MB781 is a multifunction business machine with full networking functions to enhance business efficiency. Equipped with fax, copy, print and scan functions, it can handle virtually all office document processing needs in a small footprint that also efficiently utilizes office space.
Laser Printer
The laser printer function helps ensure high quality reproduction with 600 x 600 dpi resolution. The standard USB 2.0 High- Speed PC Interface allows easy connection to a PC, while the bundled "Multi-Function Station" launcher software allows easy setup and selection of multiple functions. The KX- MB781 also boasts high-speed printing at up to 18 pages per minute1 and a 250-sheet paper tray, so you don't have to worry about running out of paper even during a high-volume print job.
Color Scanner
The KX-MB781 allows you to scan documents in color or black & white at a high resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi using the flatbed, or at 600 x 300 dpi using the 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (max. scanning resolution of 9600 x 9600 dpi is available when interpolation is used). The high quality scanning outputs images with 24-bit color gradations (48-bit input), or 8-bit black & white gray scales (16-bit input). In addition, when the Multi-Function Station launcher software is installed on your PC, you can easily access a variety of image processing functions such as the "Viewer (Scan)" menu, where you can choose Page View, Reduction, Rotate, Duplicate, and Cut and Paste functions. OCR function is also available in 1-byte language designation models.
Flatbed Copier
In addition to the 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, a built-in flatbed allows you to scan, copy, or fax a variety of originals in different shapes or sizes such as magazines, newspapers, ID cards, business cards, etc. A CIS (Contact Image Sensor) makes high speed scanning and high resolution image reproduction possible even when the spine is raised slightly above the glass plate. With up to 600 x 600 dpi resolution, you get sharp, clear copies delivered at the high-speed copying rate of up to 18 copies per minute1.
Laser Fax
The Panasonic laser fax is designed for fast, efficient fax transmission at speeds up to 33.6 kbps (4 seconds per page1). This unit can also store up to 170 pages in its built-in memory. Ideal for broadcasting multi-page documents to multiple locations, this feature also enables out-of-paper reception of up to 150 pages. Even while the KX-MB781 is busy sending or receiving a memory-based fax, you can store additional documents to send later. And you can send or copy everything from family photos to company documents with near-original quality, thanks to the clarity and detail of 64-level halftone reproduction.
Network Connectivity
The LAN connection capability lets you share the printer and scanner through the network. Operation of this multifunctional printer from a desktop PC significantly improves office productivity. A 10 Base-T/100 Base -TX interface is also provided.
- Actual number of pages depends upon the contents of the pages and the resolution. Page count based upon ITU-T No. 1 test chart at standard resolution.

Well built machine with a cast iron table. Rip fence & miter gauge are not up to the same quality, however - I am definitely replacing the miter gauge.

Best 10 inch band saw on the market for the money. I made a short review video for this band saw, you can see it here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IegZDEpPcDA&feature=youtu.be ... I shopped around a lot for a 10 inch band saw before buying this one and i could not find a better saw for the money. Despite what i have read in other reviews about not finding parts for this saw, I have found that parts are available for this saw (drive belt, upper and lower wheel tires and more) you just have to search for them at the right sites (**** and other sites, google is your friend) some reviews here have said that the drive belt breaks easy but i have not had any problems as of yet and I have cut a lot of wood with it (up to 3x3) so far without any problems using the stock blade however, the stock blade that it comes with is ok but i would invest in quality blades and yes the blades can be found rather easily despite what others have said in other reviews. out of the box i was able to use it but it really was not adjusted properly but, the set up was easy and it only took me a few minutes to adjust the guide bearings and blade and i am not an expert at anything in particular so if i could do it so can you. the fence it comes with works well. it would have been nice if they made it with a scale for the different size blade tension and a view window in front for the blade but they didn't. overall i am happy with this saw and this band saw is very good for light work and DIY home projects.

I have a 14 inch Delta band saw that I leave a 1/2 inch blade on for resawing. I was looking for a small band saw that I could leave set up with a narrower blade. This is identical to one produced under the Rikon name. I like the fact that it has a cast iron table, roller guides and a flex free steel frame. So far it has worked out very well for me, I would not consider it as a lone heavy duty machine, but for what I am using it for it is a really great machine.

I needed a smaller bandsaw as I had to leave my big one behind this move. I found this little bandsaw and I'm so impressed with this little saw. It's relatively quiet and cuts great! I feel like it's a very good value for what it cost. Winner winner chicken dinner!

Indian and Himalayan Art Mother and Child Made in Deogarh, Rajasthan, Mewar Region, India, Asiaor made in Udaipur, Rajasthan, Mewar Region, India, Asia c. 1810 Attributed to Chokha, Indian, active 1799 - 1824 Opaque watercolor and gold on paper Currently not on view 2004-149-60 125th Anniversary Acquisition. Alvin O. Bellak Collection, 2004 |
LabelThis unusual painting is based on a European image of the Madonna and baby Jesus. However, the brilliantly idiosyncratic artist Chokha reinterprets his European prototype in a manner very different from its meaning in the Christian context. Chokha turns the unfamiliar foreign mother into a half-comical, half-disturbing statement on the legendarily (to his Indian audience) excessive sexuality of European women. In this bizarre vision, Chokha also carries to a high point the modeling effects of light and shade that were introduced to Indian artists through European art. Chokha probably attained knowledge of European images while working at the Mewar royal capital of Udaipur, not far from his hometown of Deogarh, where he also worked. |

Standards At LastTwo Companies Adopt eecs New Email Measurement Standards Eleven More Firms Committed to Implementing Standards in the Next Six Months New York, NY, June 21, 2010 Two email marketing broadcast vendors, AllWebEmail and Email Transmit, have fully adopted the eight email marketing measurement standards introduced by the Direct Marketing Associations (DMA) Email Experience Council (eec) this year. A published list of 11 other email service providers, MTA vendors, and marketing automation solutions have promised to implement the standards in the next six months. These two providers are leading the industry in an important effort to standardize the terms and definitions used in measuring email marketing performance, said eec Measurement Accuracy Roundtable co-chair Luke Glasner. Project co-chair John Caldwell of Red Pill Email added, The email industry has long been without measurement standards, using terms and definitions that make it impossible to benchmark properly or compare vendor performance with confidence. The good work of our volunteer eec member committee is the first time the industry has rallied around a common set of measurement standards. The new measurement standards include eight definitions for reporting on Accepted, Render and Click-through. In the past, not only were multiple names and terms used that confused some marketers, but different vendors used different calculations for the same terms. The full list of new standards was published in March 2010. Currently the 11 companies committed to implementing the standards are: Alterian; BlueHornet; Blue Sky Factory; Bronto Software; Cooler Email; Green Arrow; Office Autopilot; Send Pepper; Silverpop; SubscriberMail; and YesMail. We are delighted to be among the first to adopt these new standards and believe strongly that only when the email industry shares a common set of measurements will we be able to fully improve performance by erasing any confusion or clouding of actual results, said Peter Roebuck, president of AllWebEmail. Email Transmit is the ESP product developed by Mass Transmit. Mass Transmit co-founder and CEO Adam Holden-Bache cited the importance of benchmarking for marketers. When the majority of service providers adopt these measures, marketers will very easily be able to compare results across industries like retail or financial services, as well as clearly compare results when they want to review new vendors. Both firms have changed definitions and terms in their system reports, along with providing information about the calculations. These are requirements for adoption, and earn the firms the right to place a seal from the eec on their website, along with promotion on the Email Measurement Accuracy adoption list managed by the eec. Full details about participation and an application form are available for other service providers on the eec website, www.emailexperience.org. We also hope that marketers and other senders who find value in standard, accurate reporting will sign our petition in support of industry standards as well as encourage their broadcast vendor to adopt the new standards, remarked Caldwell.

Did the Titanic Sink Because of an Optical Illusion?
New research may have found the reason why the ship struck an iceberg: light refraction
- By Tim Maltin
- Illustrations by Charles Floyd
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2012
(Charles Floyd)
An unusual optical phenomenon explains why the Titanic struck an iceberg and received no assistance from a nearby ship, according to new research by British historian Tim Maltin. Atmospheric conditions in the area that night were ripe for super refraction, Maltin found. This extraordinary bending of light causes miraging, which, he discovered, was recorded by several ships in the area. He says it also prevented the Titanic's lookouts from seeing the iceberg in time and the freighter Californian from identifying the ocean liner and communicating with it. A 1992 British government investigation suggested that super refraction may have played a role in the disaster, but that possibility went unexplored until Maltin mined weather records, survivors' testimony and long-forgotten ships' logs. His findings—presented in his new book, A Very Deceiving Night, and the documentary film Titanic's Final Mystery, premiering on the Smithsonian Channel at 8 p.m. on April 15—are distilled here:
1. The Titanic was sailing from Gulf Stream waters into the frigid Labrador Current, where the air column was cooling from the bottom up, creating a thermal inversion: layers of cold air below layers of warmer air. Extraordinarily high air pressure kept the air free of fog.

Mr Brown, hate to point out an inconsistency in your expertise but Captain Smith was not on the bridge at the time of the accident and could not have steered the Titanic anywhere. (1st Officer Murdoch was the officer of the watch at the time of the accident.) Also, there is absolutely no documented evidence that the ship would have passed harmlessly by had she not turned to port.
Posted by Egbert on October 30,2013 | 02:15 PM
Mirages may have played a role in what ships like Californian may have seen, but not in the accident. This possibility has been explored for more than a decade by researchers into the Californian affair. However, with regard to Titanic, a study of the facts shows the berg was first reported 5 to 8 minutes before impact (Scarrott). The lookouts (Fleet & Lee) said at that time it was a "black mass" which is a silhouette against the haze of the ice back. This means the berg was roughly 2.2 nautical miles ahead when spotted. (Per Boxhall's 22 knots.) Those are the facts contained in the U.S. Senate inquiry records. The trouble is people today research the myths and not the facts, then come to conclusions about Titanic. Conventional wisdom is wrong. The berg was spotted and reported with ample time to avoid collision. Further evidence shows Titanic would have passed the berg about 900 feet safely to port had it not altered course two points to port about a minute prior to impact. The real accident is a classic case of bad bridge team management and loss of situational awareness. But, this hard truth is not romantic enough for the popular imagination. The facts show Titanic was steered into disaster quite deliberately, but unwittingly, by Captain Smith's second attempt to dodge ice that night. (I am a shipmaster and author of two books about Titanic: "The Last Log Of The Titanic" and "Titanic Myths, Titanic Truths.")

This was absolutely fascinating to watch. I truly now believe that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by 3 different aspects. Optical Illusions, Design flaw and Human Error. This is the 1st scientific explanation that can link all the missing links together. Thank you for finally solving this mystery.

Great info for teaching about light refraction, superior/inferior, and fata morgana mirages to Middle School students...peaks their interest in the optical illusions and they pick-up a little science. Kids are very interested in the Titanic and her sinking. Tim Maltin's research appears to be on the mark. John DeManuele
Posted by John DeManuele on March 14,2013 | 12:24 AM
I congratulate Mr. Maltin on his research. Something he did not mention was the terrible fact that Lookout Frederick Fleet was not good at judging distances. This came out in the inquiries after the sinking. It is yet another horrible thing that came together that awful night.

All researchers should agree on a common reason why the Titanic sunk.
Posted by Nana Steven on September 12,2012 | 02:57 PM
At last someone who has an answer to all the idiots that think that the Titanic was sunk on purpose or did not hit a berg or was switched. I have seen the documentary 3 times now in full and 7 times in part and have read one book. I have read other books, but not one that deals with the natural events of that night. The clear night with no moon, the warm air above cold, the stars as a thousand lights, the stillness of the sea, all came together to cause a mirage effect. It both explains why the lookouts did not see the iceberg until it was on top of them and why Captain Lord may have not realized that he was looking at the Titanic and got confused by the lights and signals. It also proves that it was the Titanic that sank because the plates and the design of the ship are looked at and how strong her steel and rivets were. The berg did not make one clean slice in the side of the ship, it made several smaller ones side by side and the steel rivets were forced out, partly as they were iron in places. I have been looking at all of the ridiculous conspiracy theories all night and it was refreshing to finish by reading a proper scientific explanation for the sinking of the Titanic: an iceberg hit her, but the natural forces around her made it almost impossible that she did not collide with this berg. A perfect cold night, that was too perfect for the human eye to cope with; and when nature and human error conspire; then disaster follows. 1500 people may have gone to their deaths because there were not enough life boats, but nature created the disaster that sank an 'unsinkable' ship in the first place, and human beings sadly gave her a hand.

Captain Smith was responsible for Titanic's speed, yet to back him up he was following protocol at the time. It was common practice to sail through Danger zones as quickly as possible and Smith took into consideration of Icebergs by sailing a more southern route. Cpt Smith also had faith in his ship and trusted his experience. It is easy to see why Smith acted on Ismays word and he wanted to end his career on a mega high by arriving into New York earlier than expected. A COMPLACENT CAPTAIN left The RMS TITANIC flying in the face of God. Crew members, particularly 2nd Officer Lightoller who warned Cpt Smith of ice being hard to see at night but under Smith's orders was told to maintain speed and heading, speed being the critical concern.

Dear ice4444 (and everyone else sharing this opinion),
Before you throw out this "theory" in disgust, WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY! Mr. Maltin presents a mountain of EVIDENCE to prove his point, I would like you to watch and weigh every piece yourself.
And, much more importantly, I'll tell you who cares: the hundreds (thousands?) of fishermen (and other ship users) who regularly travel in this same exact part of the North Atlantic, and who have to occasionally deal with this EXACT SAME weather phenomena.
Although it is rare, this phenomenon DOES OCCUR from time to time (the "Titanic" disaster was certainly not the only time) and it is extremely important for ALL SAILORS and SHIP CREWMEMBERS (to say nothing of the captains!) to know about it, to help prevent a nautical tragedy from ever occuring again for these same reasons.
Trust me, any kind of weather phenomena which distorts the horizon, presents a false horizon, and/or either completely obscures or distorts the images of other nearby ships, can have exceedingly dangerous consequences for all parties involved IF they have no reliable means of communication AND IF they are not fully aware of said phenomena.
All training of any ship's personnel in any country (or just the training of sailors in general), should include a full day's (or week's) training/tutorial on this particular phenomena (Super Refraction), and how to properly and safely deal with it, whether in the presence of other ships, or not.

The NASA site 'Astonomy Picture of the Day' has a shot today about the so-called Fata Morgana, a recognized optical illusion much like the one Matlin describes. See a discussion in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fata_Morgana_(mirage)
While a whole armada of things went wrong, it seems plausible there were visual oddities under weather conditions that Night to Remember that contributed to the collision by making the iceberg pretty much invisible on a moon-less, extremely still night with no whitecaps or waves to break visibly against the berg.

Titanic hit the ocean bottom at 30 knots. A new speed record for the time.
Posted by Bob34333 on April 16,2012 | 08:56 AM
So the theory is that they could see further than normal ? It's not clear how that causes hitting icebergs and missing signals ... the opposite is more likely - icebergs more visible and sighnals travelling further !
Posted by Only Me on April 15,2012 | 03:11 PM
Saw the documentary, I think it's a very revealing explanation that solved the mysteries of the clear sky, the California, etc. Most enlightening definitely.
Posted by Rizky on April 15,2012 | 02:19 PM
Given the fact that Astor and many politically connected persons were aboard, there seems no reason not to consider whether the Titanic was sabotaged instead for whatever advantage that might have produced at the time. So many conspiracy theories surround current events that it seems logical to question whether they also surrounded past events, so, in not exploring that potential, great flaws in history can occur that otherwise might reveal devastating data exposed of how criminal minds deceive, and how media can be used for coverups. It seems rather odd that such an historical view has not been the topic of hindsight to a point where the sinking can be attributable only to an accident of such major proportions - that seems more unlikely than not - given the extent of the investment at the time, and the number of socially prominent persons aboard. Wondering if that really does them justice to chaulk it up to an accident.
Posted by Pat on April 15,2012 | 01:04 PM
Just saw the documentary and I agree with the findings 100%. It was a freak accident that nobody wanted to happen.
Posted by Fras on April 9,2012 | 05:45 PM
Exactly. Check the facts first! Binoculars didn't have any influence collision. They wouldn't have been used even if they were available. Any of the watchmen in nearby ships in the same conditions at the very same night didn't use binoculars. Cause binoculars just don't work too well in the dark. Bare eye is better for ice berg spotting in the dark.
Posted by Juha Antero on April 8,2012 | 02:12 PM
This theory is not probably worth your time. Analysis of the titanic event revealed that the key to the cabinet with all the titanic's binoculars was left to london. The lookout guys could not get their hands on the binoculars and thus saw the iceberg too late. Check the facts first.

As a United States Merchant Marine deck officer, captain, The blame for the lose of the Titanic rests squarely on the shoulders of her Captain. For whatever reason, the captain of the Titanic was traveling at an unsafe speed for the conditions at hand. Ice had been reported to him and he should have been proceeding at a safer speed for the existing conditions. EOM However, to his credit, and thankfully, he did go down with his ship. Unlike the cowardly captain of the recent Greek ship wreck who deserted his ship, his post, his passengers and his responsibilities.

The high speed theories, heres another one:
No record attempt, only the standard procedure to burn coal that had selfignited in order to prevent the fire to spread in the hold, this causing the high speeed?

The fictional novel "Futility of the Wreck of the Titan" laid the blueprint for the robber barons to drown opposition. Marconi was funded by Morgan to steal Tesla radio patents, look it up.
Posted by Joseph A Olson on March 5,2012 | 03:57 PM
Nice try, but if the ship had been built to spec in the first place, other research has shown that it may very well have survived the collision damage. It's a nice way to popularize your atmospheric research though.
Posted by Hullabusullah on March 4,2012 | 04:38 PM
There's no real mystery why the Californian did not respond to the Titanic's rockets. The watch officer of the Californian saw rockets, but did not see a distress signal. Protocols for using rockets or cannon to signal distress at night were well defined in 1912. A firing interval of one minute was specified. Signals at longer intervals were used to signal a ship not underway and requesting extra clearance from passing vessels. The Titanic fired eight rockets over a period of one hour - an average of once every seven to eight minutes. Responsibility for the confusion on the watch of the Californian rests with the poorly trained crew of the Titanic failing to follow protocols and sending a signal most logically interpreted as the exact opposite of their intent. It was entirely reasonable for the watch of the Californian to interpret the signals as being from another ship in the Californian's situation - not underway due to ice. Captain Lord of the Californian was not awoken because nothing seen by the watch officer warranted it. The initial inquests into the disaster failed to grasp this fundamental point.
Add one more to the list of bloopers committed by the Titanic's officers and crew that caused and added to the tragedy: maintaining speed in the face of ice warnings, failure of the radio operator to forward the acute ice warning from the Californian to the bridge, demanding that the Californian stay off air with safety messages so the Titanic could load the airwaves with frivolous messages, failing to launch full lifeboats, and sending the wrong signal when in distress.

I have a rather mystical theory:
Just as the Space Shuttle Challenger was doomed (one does not "challenge" the cosmos), so too was the S.S. Titanic:
"I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that."
--Captain Edward Smith
"God himself could not sink this ship!"
--Unknown Titanic crewmember to embarking passenger, Mrs Sylvia Caldwell.
Posted by Bob Green on March 3,2012 | 08:30 PM
WHO CARES! Hundreds of people died; and it sunk.
It doesn't help anyone to make up these crazy phenomena's that supposedly caused the wreck.
I know this topic is very sexy to many explorers but enough is enough.
Posted by ice4444 on March 3,2012 | 05:18 PM
The Titanic was filled with industrialists who opposed the Federal Reserve Bank. JP Morgan was supposed to wine and dine them to change their minds but instead he failed to make the sailing at the last moment and killed all of the opposition. Look it up.
Posted by rosario on March 3,2012 | 02:31 PM
Titanic was not trying to set a speed record. She was not capable of doing so. White Star had made a deliberate decision not to make their ships the fastest because of the cost and reduced passenger comfort due to severe vibration that was common in the faster Cunard ships.
Posted by David Briedis on March 2,2012 | 12:53 PM
Though Captain Smith was concerned with the speed of Titanic's crossing, he was not intending to win the "Blue Riband" prize for the fastest Atlantic crossing. He know that the Titanic had no chance of beating the current record holder, the RMS Mauretania, which had held the record for the three years previous to the 1912 and would continue to do so for almost 20 years after Titanic sank. Though it cannot be denied Smith played some part in the sinking, to say he was wholly responsibly by trying to break the speed record is unfair and incorrect.

Sounds right to me, problem solved. Lets move on.
Posted by Rustyyy on March 1,2012 | 10:59 PM
Well put together article but entirely wrong!
Opticall illusion had nothing to do with why Titanic hit the iceberg. New calculations show that it was as little as 185 feet ahead of the ship when she started to turn. Unfortunately the word Gibraltar has been used in association with size.
Posted by Capt. Jim Currie on March 1,2012 | 03:42 PM
Perfectly feasible but the images need tweaking. Apart from that, other facts make this idea a non-starter.
Image Tweaks:
A. The rockets went as high as the other ship's masthead light.
B. 2. The image seen from Californian at 15 minutes past midnight was of a ship showing a red side-light, a white masthead light and a few lights near the stern which could have been portholes or windows.
Specific facts:
1. The ship near Californian stopped 12 minutes after Titanic stopped.
2. The last rocket was seen from Californian just after the other ship's lights disappeared.
3. Titanic's last rocket was fired half an hour before her lights disappeared
The facts come from the staements of Californian's officers.
Posted by Captain Jim Currie on February 29,2012 | 07:11 AM
While there were false horizons reported, the Titanic was not concerned with them. Captain Smith and the owners wanted to set a speed record on Titanic's maiden voyage. They discussed slowing down but didn't. A false horizon didn't cause the sinking -- Captain Smith's decision to proceed full speed ahead into poor sailing conditions caused the collision.
Captain Lord was known in sea circles as a drunkard and an abusive captain. Californian's crew solicited the Officer of the Deck to wake up the radio operator and the captain. He did not because he was afraid of the repercussions from Captain Lord. As a result, Californian's officers and crew members were shunned in merchant marine operations and gatherings.
