Giulia Hull, Miktat Imre, Michaël Josselin, Alain Maroni, Tiina Suomijärvi
In the effort of the AugerPrime scintillator surface detector R&D activity, we investigated the performances of different extruded and cast plastic scintillators that were read out with wavelength-shifting (WLS) optical fibers and then coupled to a PMT. In particular we compared the light yield of eighteen scintillator/fiber configurations, obtained combining eight different scintillator bars with six fiber types, in order to investigate which was satisfying the AugerPrime specifications in terms of light production ( > 12 photoelectrons per minimum ionizing particle). In this paper, we present the results of the study on different scintillator bar geometries, scintillator production techniques, and wavelength-shifting optical fiber types. We also propose an effective way to optically couple the fibers to the PMT entrance window.

One of the truly great things about living in the IT revolution is how it has brought down the cost of printing, whether it be on paper or fabric.
There are now companies out there that for a small sum are ready to take your designs and turn them into usable art – we're talking fabric, wallpaper and wrapping paper..and you don't even need a large print run…one roll or 1 metre will do it. What's more, if it's good, you can earn money from other people buying your design…win, win.
It's something I'm keen to explore and play with. I've found this website that gives a clear, basic tutorial. about pattern repeating.
And Spoonflower seem to be the biggest/best website for printing…and they also have lots of 'how to' videos.
Now to pin down the design…

To obtain the ruffles on the edge is very simple. I placed the edge lightly between my thumb and index finger and ran my nail along the edge. It stretches the edging causing the paper to ruffle!
And here is what you get with ruffling both sides of the paper strip! By just ruffling the edges, the center does not stretch as much and stays more compact than the edges creating what you see above!
For the green tails on the flower I simply stretched and wrapped around a pencil to get the crepe paper strip to somewhat curl.
Taking two 1/2" strips and pinching the ends with a slight twist allowed me to secure the flower middle to the center of my Gluber! What is a Gluber, you ask? Simply clear adhesive dots, uber sticky on both sides! I found my Glubers at The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store! They come in three sizes, of course you could cut them to any size you might need!
Twist the two strands of Crepe paper pressing onto the Gluber in a spiral. I would press a couple twists one way then switch it the opposite way so I had the pink side showing at times and the green side showing as well.
After attaching the center and taking the first spiral just keep going around! Notice I did not perfectly line up the pink and green strips, I wanted the edge of both to get stuck on the Gluber!
Twist, press and go around until you have reached the Gluber outer edge. Cut tail leaving enough to press under the clear adhesive Gluber when you peel the backing off.
The underside, if you look closely you can see the Gluber and where the crepe paper is sticks to the adhesive.
I had a die cut laying out that I did not use and decided to stick the flower on it and make a card embellishment. What worked really well is the part of the adhesive Gluber extending off the top and bottom of the die cut will enable easy attachment to a creation.
Growing up we always used crepe paper twisted streamers, and placedd them right down the middle of our tables! The crepe paper streamer rolls out in stores now for the most part do not hold the twist that well anymore. But let me tell you, this is some sturdy crepe paper, just the kind I remember using! I simply lightly twisted the tails, touching a bit of glue where I wanted it to stay put.
On one edge of my die cut, I ran a piece of 1/8 inch scortape. Then I cut the pink ruffle down and attached so we have a ruffle extending off the die cut edge.
The larger bows and streamers on my project HERE are ruffled strips of crepe paper that are looped with the ends becoming tails. Laying the loops opposite one another and twisting in the middle creates a bow with tails hanging. I then tied it to secure with Burlap String as shown.
Here is a peek of the bow with loops fluffed and tails positioned below the loops. You could add more loops if desired, make larger loops if wanted, and leave tails longer. It's up to you! So there you have it! So much fun, quick with great results! Give it a try! I hope you do and enjoy the process!
Take great care this weekend and wishing all a Happy and Blessed Mother's Day!

This video from the eastern Ukraine says about itself:
19 April 2014
Ukraine: In multinational Donetsk, all are equal – Pushilin
Leaders of the Donetsk interim government gave a press conference in the Regional administration building in Donetsk, Saturday.
Denis Pushilin, the Deputy 'People's' Governor of Donetsk and member of the interim government, recently said that it's up to residents to decide where and how they want a referendum to take place.
Pushilin also responded to questions relating to a forged leaflet which showed up on social media networks, calling for Jewish people in Donetsk above the age of 16 to register their names and pay $50 (€60) in cash. Pushilin said that the republic of Donetsk is multinational and that all people are equal.
By Alex Lantier:
US imperialism and the anti-Semitic leaflet in Donetsk
19 April 2014
US outrage at a vile anti-Semitic leaflet circulating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, demanding that all Jews register with local pro-Russian authorities, is a hypocritical fraud. US officials have seized on the leaflet, whose authorship is totally unclear and which stinks of a provocation to smear protesters hostile to the US-backed Ukrainian regime in Kiev, to denounce protesters and posture as opponents of anti-Semitism.
At talks between US, European, Ukrainian and Russian officials in Geneva, US Secretary of State John Kerry said: "In the year 2014, after all the miles traveled in the journey of history, this is not just intolerable, it's grotesque … beyond unacceptable."
What hypocrisy! In the February putsch that toppled Ukraine's government, Washington and its European allies worked directly with fascists, including the Right Sector militia and the Svoboda party. These forces—which hail the World War II-era Ukrainian fascists led by Stepan Bandera, who collaborated with the Nazis as they carried out the mass murder of Jews in Ukraine—now occupy top positions in the unelected, pro-Western puppet regime in Kiev.
Kerry was cynically seizing upon the leaflet to improve the US position in talks with Russia, by distracting from popular anger with the Kiev puppet regime's ties to fascism and providing ammunition for hysterical attacks on Moscow.
US officials ignored the multiple signs that the document is a crude forgery. The leaflet—bearing the name of the pro-Russian Donetsk People's Republic, which is occupying local government buildings in Donetsk, and signed by its leader, Denis Pushilin—was reported on Wednesday in Israeli media.
It begins, "Dear Ukrainian citizens of Jewish nationality, due to the fact that the leaders of the Jewish community support the Bandera junta and oppose the pro-Slavic People's Republic of Donetsk, [we have] decided that all citizens of Jewish descent, over 16 years of age and residing within the republic's territory are required to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register."
It demands that Jewish citizens provide extensive documentation as to their property holdings and religion and pay a $50 fee to officials in Room 514 of the local government building occupied by the pro-Russian protesters. Otherwise, the leaflet said, they would face deportation.
The initial Israeli media reports made clear the highly dubious character of the leaflet. They cited Pushilin's denials that his group had issued it, as well as broader doubts as to its authenticity. Alex Tenzer, a director of the National Association of Immigrants from the Former USSR in Israel, said: "It's hard to tell whether the leaflet is valid or simply a provocation."
Olga Reznikova, who sent YNet a copy of the document from Donetsk, said: "I do not intend to register. I am 32, I have lived in Donetsk my entire life, and have never had to deal with anti-Semitism until I laid eyes on this piece of paper. Though I take it very seriously, I am uncertain of its authenticity."
Reporters for the New York Times who visited Room 514 of the Donetsk local government building on Thursday found it empty. They spoke to protesters who said the leaflet was a trick of the Kiev regime to discredit them. "We are laughing; this is propaganda," one said.
As Western officials and media prepared for the Geneva talks, however, they baldly attributed the leaflet to pro-Russian groups. Ignoring continuing reports from Donetsk challenging the authenticity of the leaflet, they speculated that it could harm the pro-Russian forces and "change the narrative" about Ukraine—that is, undermine the credibility of anti-Kiev protesters.
Britain's Daily Telegraph wrote: "A shocking story coming out of Ukraine: pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country are accused of asking Jewish citizens to register their identity or face deportation … It could change the narrative of the conflict yet again: the Russian separatism becomes a call not for self-determination, but outright bigotry informed by a desire for racial purity and Orthodox chauvinism."
Kerry's denunciations of the Donetsk protesters over the leaflet were echoed by other US diplomats. "Everything we're hearing suggests this is the real deal, and that it is coming from someone on the ground there among these radical groups," US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt told CNN, "either to stir fear or to create provocation justifying further violence."
Reporting from Donetsk, however, CNN's Nick Paton Walsh called the leaflet "by all accounts an isolated incident." Referring to protesters and the Jewish community in Donetsk, he added, "All sides are really trying to calm this down. Bizarrely, really, it's the US State Department focusing specifically on this allegation."
This comment from CNN, which can hardly be accused of having a critical attitude towards US foreign policy, gives a far better idea than Kerry's hypocritical statements about the political origins of the anti-Semitic leaflet. The US State Department, Kiev, and their collaborators in Europe know more about it, one may safely assume, than Moscow or the protesters in Donetsk.
The Washington Post reported Friday that Poland and the United States would announce next week the deployment of US ground troops to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO military forces in Central and Eastern Europe, in response to the crisis in Ukraine: here.
Leading German journalists, who have been agitating for weeks for a war against Russia, intensified their propaganda after Tuesday's announcement that NATO was stepping up its intervention in Eastern Europe. Even after the experiences of the First and Second World Wars, some clearly can't wait for a re-run of the Eastern Front: here.
Canada is deploying six F-16 fighter jets to Eastern Europe in support of the war threats against Russia made by the US, Germany and NATO, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Thursday: here.

Creating an acid-washed rustic look is also a popular design these days since this type of designer kitchen does not need much expensive material. The rustic look can be complemented with yellow lights and with small round wooden chair.
14. Antique Stove Installed Open Kitchen Design:
The antique designer kitchen is actually a bit expensive kitchen design since to achieve this look the good amount of research is needed to find the right accessory which needs to be installed in the kitchen. The stove design plays an important role.
15. Indian Open Kitchen Designs:
Indians have adapted to recent European designer kitchen designs into Indian style by giving the kitchen a different look. This outlook is achieved by using some floral design wallpapers glued onto the coloured cabinets. The countertop and the cabinets are giving a couple of colour design.
Choosing the right open style kitchen needs a good amount of knowledge about the recent kitchen design and its availability in India. Selecting a big open kitchen design for a small house or vice versa is a grave mistake. Choose wisely before investing a huge amount on this important thing of selecting open kitchen designs.

Waking up to a violin on the radio....
Just last week, more than thirty school children from Leicester Elementary School visited Judith Reilly's art exhibit in the main Compass gallery and then sat down at those very tables - to write and draw their responses to Judith's amazing work. The next day I interacted in the classroom with one of those students, who pulled me aside to say, "I can still see that quilt about the moon in my mind. It's my favorite, so I'm writing about that one." This quote reflects one of the goals of the Center's non-profit organization, Compass Music and Arts Foundation: to provide memorable arts experiences for our community and its children.
Whether you are an adult waking up in the morning, or a child making their way through a school day, experiences at Compass Center stay with you, center you, demand the attention of your creative self.
And, what about today? I am thinking about my current favorite painting - that rooster, squawking at me in Robin Callahan's gallery space. He's demanding something of me - "Come visit Compass! Have some lunch in the Cafe! Listen to the music playing! Take a notebook and write, or draw, or... just fly on down and have a 'cock-a-doodle doo' of a time! And, don't forget to come see me!" So...I'm picking up the phone and inviting a friend to lunch....

How to Fix a Shower Drain Without Taking Out the Pan
A visible water stain running across your ceiling just below a shower area indicates the potential that your shower drain is leaking. Under your shower pan is an adjoining drain body that connects to the visible strainer body, usually designed as a small metal grate. The shower water that enters the drain should exit through the attached plumbing, but the gasket that resides between the strainer body and drain body can become cracked over time. Rather than undergoing significant construction, repair this faulty gasket without removing the shower pan.
Detach the screws holding the metal grate to the shower drain strainer with a screwdriver. Depending on the shower's design, the grate may have two or four screws. Use caution during removal: Do not drop the screws down the pipe.
Lift the grate from the drain strainer and place aside, says Family Handyman.
Place a pair of tongue and groove pliers into the center of the drain strainer. Hold the pliers so that they press against each side of the opening. Turn the pliers in a counterclockwise direction to loosen the strainer body. Remove the strainer body from the opening and place aside.
Hand pull any old plumber's putty from the removed strainer body. It may come off as hardened chunks, depending on the age of the installation. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove any putty that is stuck in the strainer's threads. The strainer body must be clean when reinstalled.
Gently press the drain body, located below the removed strainer body, to the side of the opening to reveal its rim. This drain body connects directly to your drain pipe. The rim has a flat black gasket. Pull the gasket from the opening and discard. If it is difficult to see into the opening, use a flashlight to illuminate the area.
Hand rock the drain body within the opening to remove any debris from the rim. The rim must be clean so the new gasket adheres to the surface. Use a rag, if necessary, to wipe the rim clean.
Brush the opening's threads with a wire brush to remove any residual plumber's putty.
Slide the new gasket into the opening. Center it on the drain body's rim.
Coat the outside of the strainer body with plumber's putty by spreading it around with your fingers. Press the majority of the putty up against the underside of the strainer's rim. Confirm that the entire outside diameter has a generous amount of plumber's putty before installation.
Place the strainer body into the opening. Hand turn the strainer body in a clockwise direction to tighten it down. Verify that it is fully tightened by observing the putty – some of the putty should press outward from the strainer body's edges.
Remove the extra putty from the edges with a putty knife. Allow the putty to adhere overnight to the drain threads before using the shower.
Things You Will Need
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Tongue and groove pliers
Wire brush
Plumber's putty
Putty knife
Carefully inspect the removed strainer body during the cleaning process. If it is cracked or warped, you must replace it, says Plumbing Supply. The new gasket will not stop any leaks if the above strainer body is compromised.

Whiskey is distilled in several different varieties and each is linked to its country of origin. For example, scotch whiskey is made in Scotland, Irish whiskey in Ireland, Canadian whiskey in Canada, and Bourbon whiskey is made in America.
Manufacturing American bourbon whiskey involves the use of specific grain types, and unique barrel wood for aging. While bourbon is made primarily in Kentucky, Bourbon can be distilled anywhere in the US.
On the other hand, Scotch whiskey is distilled in Scotland and involves the use of barley and a distinct barrel wood type.
But Scotch and Irish whiskeys are also chemically distinct from American whiskeys and according to PopSci, researchers are attempting to determine exactly how.
So food science researchers at the University of California at Davis have been studying different whiskeys to determine whether they can scientifically distinguish them from one another.
"Right now, we can do a pretty good job of separating, for example, Scotch whiskeys from bourbons and other American whiskeys and also Canadian and Irish whiskeys," said research director Thomas Collins during a talk at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting.
"When you narrow it down into whiskeys from a particular region, the process gets a little more difficult because they're more similar to each other." The researchers are looking into the data more closely to try to distinguish chemically between American whiskey types, Collins said.
Collins and his team analyzed 60 American whiskeys using two common chemical techniques — high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
These techniques separate compounds in a mixture and reveal compound characteristics such as weight and structures. Researchers then used other data to identify the different compounds, and performed statistical analyses to determine differences between the concentration levels of different chemicals in various whiskeys.
The major chemicals used to distinguish different whiskeys include some that originate from the grain, the fermentation process, and the wood barrel in which whiskey ages.
"Ethanol is a good solvent and it will extract a number of things from the barrel," Collins said, and added that it is the relative concentrations of about 30 to 50 chemicals that distinguish any two given whiskeys from one another.
"Those chemicals include terpenes and terpenoids, which may come from either the barrel or the grain; fatty acids, which may come from either yeasts or plants; and polyphenols, such as tannins, which come from the aging barrels and vary by both distiller and a whiskey's age."
Collins hopes his work will be able to help distillers determine what practices are required for the most flavorful whiskey. For example, Collins suggested he could ascertain whether whiskeys taste different if they're aged in different parts of the same warehouse.
And the chemical composition of whiskey can enable people to identify whether particular bottles of whiskey are genuine.

"But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works."
Psalms 73:28
"But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works."
Psalms 73:28
Hey there! Today I wanted to share a story with you about a teen girl I knew. Enjoy, and I pray the Lord speaks to you through this!
For a long time my friend liked a certain guy who she saw somewhat often. He was strong, he knew everybody, he loved Jesus and it wasn't a secret that he did. He was courageous, kind, and stood up for people, and wasn't afraid to share his faith. He was very talented and just an amazing guy, she told me. Fast forward, she stopped liking him because she thought he would never like her, a nobody who was often afraid and wasn't super cute or pretty or anything attractive and somewhat awkward.
She then proceeded to basically forget about it and gave up on crushing on any guy, because she was so afraid of being rejected and unwanted (please don't do this! Don't be afraid of rejection. Sometimes we need to pursue people - and i'm not talking only romantically - without getting anything back. If you think about it, if Jesus didn't reach out to us because He knew we would reject Him, we all wouldn't be believers! But he didn't give up on us and neither should you give up on yourself or others).
A few years later, that same guy started liking my friend, and she found out about it. She was so shocked that a guy like him would like a nobody like her. She said she didn't deserve it. She was just so in awe and wonder that he would actually like her that she didn't know what to do! She had been dreaming about it for so long and now that it was actually here, she couldn't believe it. It was too crazy, it had to be some mistake - why would he like her?? She couldn't focus for weeks, she was so mystified. Why - what - what did I do to deserve this? She would ask herself over and over. It was so crazy to her.
Now, let's bring this crush story around. The awe and the wonder that the girl felt when she found out he liked her is similar to how we should feel about God loving us. God loves you - I feel like that's one of the statements that we've heard so much that it loses its importance. We're like, oh yeah, God loves me, blah blah blah, thanks for telling me [again]. But I don't know if you realize the significance of this!
The Creator of the Universe, the one and ONLY true God, who's infinite, all powerful, all knowing, everywhere, THE God who's in control...He likes - no, He LOVES us with a reckless, steadfast, unending, unfailing, unstoppable love. We are literally dirt compared to Him. We are less-than dirt, even! I mean, He's like, way up there in rank and we're not even in the same rank as Him. We're three billion katrillion jillion all-the-other-illions below Him. It's ridiculous that He would love us, and yet it's such an amazing and beautiful thing. I mean, He sent His ONLY Son to die the worst death possible so that He could have a relationship with a little piece of dirt - but we're not dirt to Him.
You are treasured. Loved. He rejoices over you. He values you. He knows exactly and precisely how many hairs are on your head. Nothing happens that does not pass His notice. He's watching over you right now because He cares about you - the you that the world shuns and even hates but the same you that He created without a mistake. The you He created you to be. Can I just say, WOW. WOW WOW WOW.
I don't get it. I don't understand why a God would love a nobody like me. I don't understand why I am chased after, pursued, and forgiven because I am the most messed up person I know. Even when I run away from Him, He's still right beside me. I leave Him, but He never leaves me. Nothing can change that, and I am just in AWE. Why??
Because that's the kind of God we serve. A God who seeks a personal relationship with each and every one of you. A God who is patiently waiting for you. Who leaves the ninety-nine to save the one that is lost - you. He continues to chase you down when we lose our way, mess up, and sin the same sin for the billionth time. A God who loves you because of who you are and not because of what you've done. He sees so much in you - things that maybe no one else sees, not even you.
This new year, I pray that you would fall in love with our Savior. That you would fall into a deeper and stronger love and just be in awe and reverence of the God who has brought you so far. He's going to take you so much further this year. There will be hard times. That's part of life. But I guarantee you - He will never stop loving you, no matter how unworthy the world says you are.

on the Sony E-Book Reader
I've been eagerly awaiting for my local Borders to get their shipment of Sony's E-Book the Sony E-Book Reader. Well, it finally got here, and true to my style I was the first to get one in my neighborhood. I'm already a proud owner of a Rocket E-Book, aka REB-1100, aka RCA EBook Reader, aka many others. I've been hoping that the new Sony reader would take off from where the REB1100 did.
After playing with it for a little over a day or so, I have mixed feelings about it. In many ways it feels like version 1.0 but in many others it looks like it was rushed out the door. The user interface on the device is clunky, the "Connected" reader application you are supposed to use to transfer stuff is very poorly designed (more on this later), and it very much looks like no-one tried this with a real library of books. I mean lots of books. Like 100's of books. I have that many in my collection and since this device can accommodate them, why not have them there. Many of these are technical reference PDF documents. It sure would be nice to be able to whip out a single "book" that has all my technical documentation in it. However, this is not going to happen – at least not yet. The PDF reading function is severely crippled. I talk about this below.
So, let's review the good, the ugly, and the bad in the original Italian:
The Good:
- Form Factor: It's very, very light (nine ounces). In fact, it's so light, it's hard to tell when I'm carrying it around with some other stuff in my hands. At less than 1/2″ thick, it's also very slick looking and fits in just about anywhere. Very convenient when I'm traveling.
- The Screen: very, very nice (with some bad – more on this later). The E-Ink screen is extremely readable in just about any lighting condition. In fact its very comparable to paper. I can't stress enough how good this stuff looks. Imagine the stickers they place on many electronic screens when they are new in the box. The ones that show you what the screen is going to look like when you turn it on. The ones that you remove and then find that the real screen is dimmer and way further in the back of the screen? Well, this is like having one of those stickers that changes. VERY cool.
- Capacity: it comes built-in with what looks like 128MB of memory. A chunk of that is taken by the OS, so you are left with roughly 90MB's to store books, music, and pictures on. Additionally, is has a memory slot where you can insert a memory card. It supports SD, and Sony's MemoryStick and MemoryStick DUO. The documentation says that SD cards up to 2GB and MemoryStick cards of up to 4GB are supported.
- Readability: tied to #2 above. The fonts that they have selected are very readable in the three sizes available for non-PDF documents. At the smallest setting, it the page appears a little "wobbly" – the lines of text don't seem to be perfectly parallel. That might just be my eyes getting old.
- Supported formats: There is native support for BBeB (their native book format), TXT, RTF, PDF, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formatted data. The text documents are automatically placed in the "E-Books" category. Image and audio formatted files are also placed into their own categories. Microsoft DOC files are automagically translated to RTF by the Connected application when you import them. However, you have to have Word installed on your computer for it to do this.
- Audio and Text: a neat feature is that it allows you to read ebooks at the same time as you are playing MP3/AAC files. For me, this is very desirable as I find I concentrate best when there's some light music in the background while I'm reading.
- Pictures: It does a remarkably good job of translating full color JPG/GIF/BMP files to grey scale. I've downloaded several images varying from portraits to sports shots to landscape and they all look remarkably well considering the limitations of the technology. You can even set it to do a slideshow. Not sure why you would do this, but it might come in handy. Specially when this becomes EOL and you can repurpose this to hang on a wall showing pics of the family — or something.
The Ugly (aka things that Sony should be able to change via firmware/software updates)
- PDF Documents: Unless your PDF document happens to be made for small device formats, they are just not going to look right. You can zoom the interface one level (full page, or fit-to-page). For most of my PDF documents (i.e. manuals), this makes this device almost useless. You can change the orientation by rotating the text 90 degrees to the right. That gives you more horizontal area. In this view, the page is split in two – top and bottom halves. However, switching from one half to the next, or even from one to page to the next is very slow. Slow enough that after only a couple of documents, I just plain gave up on anything that wasn't specifically formated to the screen.
- Screen orientation: Unlike the REB-1100, you can only change the orientation to normal or 90 degrees right. You can rotate 90 degrees left or 180 degrees. This is an issue as you start reading more, your left hand will become tired of holding on to the book and it sure would be nice to be able to rotate 180 and let my right hand take over. The REB-1100 does this very nicely and even inverts the orientation of the buttons. SONY- FIX THIS. This is a no-brainer.
- Document Navigation: You have a few basic navigation controls (hard buttons): Page forward, page back (in two locations – side of the unit and also in a semi-circle gizmo on the bottom left of the unit), a toggle stick (on the bottom right hand corner) that allows you to navigate links in a PDF document, a row of buttons labeled 0-9 right below the screen which roughly take you to a corresponding 10th of the book, and a page marker button. Flipping from page to page is actually not bad, with the exception of a brief flicker as the E-Ink screen wipes and then re-loads the new content. At first this was a little bothersome, but I quickly got used to that. Aside from page to page turning, you can also jump to a specific marker. You can also hit a menu button and then find specific locations: beginning of book, end of book, bookmarks, table of contents (if your book format has these), history of locations you have been at. Well, it turns out that his makes navigating many TXT, DOC, and PDF documents very difficult. But this might just be me. It sure would be nice to have a "go to page #" function, like the REB-1100.
- Document Management: With even the built-in memory capacity, it's very easy to load up dozens of books into memory. As a matter of fact it comes pre-loaded with many selections of excerpts and full books. After adding only a few books, the list of books got to be hard to browse through. It sure would be nice to have a mechanism to put these into some sort of hierarchy, right? Thoughtfully, Sony created a concept of "Collections" which as far as I can tell is their intended organization method. However, the only way to create these collections is on their Connected syncing software. However, creating these makes a second copy of the document if you happen to have synced a version before. It's not smart enough to simply tag a document with meta data and place these into different views. It simply creates a new "folder" and places yet another copy of the document in there. You do have an option from the main menu to view your documents by author or by date. By date is useful for documents that you have recently added as the sorting is in reverse chronological order. However, there's no way to change that. The sort by author is also nice, but when you select that the next screen only shows the title of the book, not the author. It sure would be nice if the author(s) were listed as a folder and then all of their books listed underneath. Again, with tons of books in here, there's very little to help you sort things out. In reality, I don't know how much of an issue this is going to be since I don't really know if I'm going to cary my entire collection. But it sure would be nice if I could.
- Syncing software: Let me put it this way. It's crap. Sure – it let's you grab documents and put them from your computer to your e-book. It has some rudimentary preview capabilities and has some limited organizational functions (see Ugly #4). However, it's not very user friendly, it lacks much of the functionality you would expect if you have ever used iTunes. The interface doesn't make it clear if you are copying, moving, deleting, or adding stuff to and from your computer or e-book. This software really looks like it was a first shot out there to see what we, the users were going to think. Well, Sony, I think it's crap. Drop me a line if you want me to give you the full list of things you need to do to fix this excrement. (Do you see how I feel about this?).
- Mac Support: OK – let me put it this way: None. I don't have one of the new Intel Mac's yet, so I can't test this under parallels, but under virtual PC – the USB driver install right, but the Connected "syncing" software doesn't even bother to start.
- The Price: OUCH! $350. I'll have to read a ton of books to make up for this price. But oh – wait. The price of the ebooks is only marginally lower than the price of the real books. So … I might have to read a whole bunch of PDF's to make up for this. Oh – but wait – PDF reading kinda sucks eggs. Crap. I'm not sure this isn't a "The Bad".
The Bad (aka things that are hardware that Sony can't fix till version 2 and might make me return this thing)
- The buttons!: Look in the pictures of the Sony and RCA gizmos. See those big, thumb friendly buttons on the RCA thing? Now look carefully on the image at the left. Do you see those two small, small circles on the left of the screen? You might have to squint. Yeah, that's what Sony put in as the page turning buttons. Say what? WTF where you THINKING? Maybe it's because the average Japanese is smaller than the gorilla sized American? Nah, they just plain f'd up on this one. Come on! Give me a real button. Something so that when I hold the screen it fits nicely on my thumb. Something so that I don't have to think about changing pages. I just twitch my thumb and Voila! I have next page. Jeez, did Sony not ask any previous E-Book readers what they liked from previous generations. WTF!
- No backlight!: WTF! Again, maybe this is because of the E-Ink stuff, but come-on! One of the greatest parts of the RCA device is that I can lay in bed with my lovely Mrs. sleeping peacefully and have no other lights on! It's nice on Airplanes (ah…. frequent travelers – Sony – maybe one of your target demographics?). It's nice on trains (ah…. Sony?). To be fair, again, I haven't tried this on a plane, train, or automobile yet, but I will let you know as soon as I do. But in bed – yup – this sucks a**!!!!
- The Software: So, I put this in both the Ugly and the Bad. This will only be bad if Sony doesn't do something about this real quick. The Connected software is complete crap. Hire a couple of iTunes guys and get this done right. Get it done quick. I mean real quick. It probably won't make me send it back, but I sure am thinking about it. FIX your PDF!!!!! Allow me to Zoom In to whatever level I want and make it snappy (as in get it done now and make it responsive).
Things I'll miss from the REB-1100:
- Built-in dictionary. Not something that is used much, but it sure was nice when I need it.
- Touch screen interfaces. Helped when changing many of the options and settings. The interfaces and widgets are made so that a stylus or even my fat fingers can make it work.
- Thick grabby edge on one side. While the Sony thing is nice because it's slim and travels well, the RCA has a nice thick rounded handhold along the edges where the page turning buttons are. It "feels" right. Maybe Sony could make a detachable plastic thingy that would give that feel?
- Ability to highlight and underline any text in the book. That is nice when I read books that have quotables or other fitting thoughts.
- 3rd party conversion tools that let me create .rb documents from web pages, word docs, txt files, etc. It's been nice to be able to take some of my technical reference material that's given in html and convert it to an ebook format.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff for a first day's worth of toying with this. I'll post additions and changes as I fool with this thing some more. I so badly want it to work, but I hope that the ugly and bad don't make me send it back and wait for version 2. I'll read on this through the week and try to get through a couple of books to see how that works out. I hope that Bad #1 and Bad #2 aren't going to be killers.
Stay tuned.

Tote & Parcel Case HistoryClick to download a PDF copy
Moonpig.com based in London sells personalised greeting cards. In 2007 the company was responsible for 90 percent of the online greeting card market in the United Kingdom. Due to expansion within their factory they required a high level conveyor to run from a mezzanine floor across the top of machines and down to a packing area.This consisted of a 58 meter conveyor run up at 4.6 meters in the air.The conveyor was supported from the building internal wall.
Conveyor speed was 15 m/min using close pitch roller conveyor with 35mm diameter rollers. This suited the large range of large to small parcels.
A control system shut down the conveyors to save energy when not in use and sensors stopped a build product. The project included full mechanical and electrical installations, followed by training and handover to the customer.

Whether you, or someone you know, already have/has written your (his/her) personal statement, THE MOST IMPORTANT part of your college application package, or still are/is struggling to identify that "perfect" topic, it is time to consider taking advantage of an opportunity to meet for a private session.

JUST in case you've been wondering……15 Sep
Where has Joyce been, particularly on Thursdays when she promised to write? The truth? She, as she is known in this expert, professional persona, succumbed, which much too embarrassingly translates to, "life" got in the way. (It does have a habit of doing so at times, n'est pas?) The details do not matter, but suffice it to say, preoccupation with love (spectacularly wonderful), duty (the "must do's"), and a complete reversal of a three-decade perception (marked by shock; disappointment; concern for the effects of a process and its aftermath upon loved ones) can, most decidedly, shake up anyone's reality.
I agree, it takes a while for that wise unknown author's words to sink in, "Everything will be all right in the end, and if it's not all right, it's not the end." And, I know we all will emerge stronger, wiser, and less likely to fall victim to perceptual bias, but that (as they say) is another story. And so, we take baby steps…putting one foot in front of another…living platitudes we once believed applied to "others" and never to us.
So, if you, too, got knocked "off track" and your compass also clouded, what matters is the ability to sing Jerome Kern's lyrics as loudly as possible. "Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again." So, now what?
If you think of yourself as college or graduate school-bound, you no doubt have work to do. Do you need to take, or retake, those standardized tests? How will you prepare for them? Do those oh-so-necessary campus visits loom as your "must do's?" Do you have applications to complete? Essays to write? When, oh when, do you plan to get started? Now is the right time, and do you know what? It's always now!
If I can prod or help you or someone you know get started, you know how to find me. I am only one telephone call, e-mail, text or IM (203) 858-1687 away. How good are you at tracking???
Ciao for now–
It has come to my attention…..2 Nov
My Take on a New Offer
The idea of parents forming small groups for SAT/ACT preparation is an excellent opportunity for families who wish to take advantage of an offer to save costs. However, the topic warrants some cautionary comments.
First, parents should not assume that just because they have formed a group that their children will work well together, particularly when the participants know one another.
Second, the instructor must remain mindful of such students' personal relationships and build brief periods of "break" time into the sessions so that group members can relate on a personal level. As sessions tend to occur after school or during weekend time, if the facilitator is not mindful of the students' need to interact, some will have difficulty focusing on the content until their need for socialization is met.
Third, the size of the group should be small so that students who need individualized attention will seek it without fear of embarrassment in front of their friends.
Fourth, the facilitator needs to teach students skills that will improve their study habits and that will transfer to life-long learning.
Fifth, students must "do their homework" so that sessions focus on the explanation of reasons one choice worked better than another as opposed to test-taking practice. This practice, known as metacognition, or thinking about their thinking–particularly in retrospect, moves learning forward.
Lastly, some students flourish only when they receive private instruction. When families take advantage of this option, the number of required meetings often reduces.
While the standardized testing big business will force the retention of these exams, today, many colleges and universities elect to move away from requiring the submission of standardized test scores.
Instead of obsessing over their performance on these tests, students need to focus, instead, on their grades; their extracurricular pursuits; opportunities that allow them to serve their community and, thus, contribute to society, and on the quality of their application essays.

Excellent feedback!
Should I Use a Book?17 Aug
Yesterday, I went to a Barnes & Noble bookstore to pick up a book I had put on hold. On my way to check out, I noticed a table with several books, all of which guide students through the process of writing college application essays.
In looking through one or two books, I found many valuable tips and suggestions for getting started. By all means, leaf through these books, and when you find one that "speaks to you," if you're so inclined, purchase it.
My strongest recommendation, however, is that once you've written your personal statement either take, or send it to an expert for a final review.
Yes, share it with your peers; share it with your parents; even share it with a teacher. Then, when you believe you're "done," share it with an Educational Consultant or writing professional who has had experience coaching people who are applying to their top-choice schools.
These experts are "in the know." They can help you turn a simple piece of information into a powerful attention-grabber.
There is enough work for all of us, and whether you use me or one of my colleagues, do not miss an opportunity to obtain expert feedback!

One of the great revelations of 2014 was discovering Benromach 10 year old. It was such a lovely surprise that It forced my hand to include it at the best whiskies of 2014 in my year review.
When G&M and Benromach announced they plan to release a 100 proof (57% vs the standard 40%) I was anticipating a cracker. I mean, come on, take a good whisky and turbo charge it – how bad can it be?
Benromach 10 Year Old 100 proof (57%, £36.67/€50)
Nose: At first nosing it's very different from the normal 10yo as the nose is very restrained. The high ABV is felt but the lovely plethora of notes that welcomed me with the std 10yo were hard to get here. it felt sherried but restrained, and after a while some chocolate, sweet dried fruits rise, but it stayed restrained so water were needed here. With water it opens up a bit revealing more light sherry and a bit of chocolate. The nose is not as balanced and is less sherried than the normal 10yo.
Palate: Sweet, lightly sherried with dried fruits leaning toward sour berries, cinnamon and nutmeg. With water: sour berries, nutmeg, oak and a dash of pepper.
Finish: Long with butter, sour berries and oak.
Thoughts: I know many bloggers find this as a better whisky than the 10yo but I'll go against the flow and say it was a huge disappointment. It wasn't balanced, It didn't meet my expectations and didn't even stand up to the standard 10 year old. I purchased the sample of a reputable European store so it either a different (and bad) batch from the one UK bloggers tasted or it's my taste that differs. I even tried it 2 weeks apart, letting the sample oxidize a bit in the bottle, hoping it will open up but to no avail. Frankly, based on what I tasted, I'd take the standard 10 over this one. That is , until I taste it again from a different bottle and so I'd recommend you: taste before you buy (always a good advise, not just for this bottle)!

ALTHOUGH AEROSMITH was slagged for nearly two decades as sloppy Stones seconds, the band was finally given hip vindication last year by Run-D.M.C. And what the critics don't know, the little boys understand — Aerosmith is probably the most influential hard-rock band of the Seventies. Joe Perry's sting and stance and Steven Tyler's scarfs and squawk have provided role models and bad attitudes for Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Ratt, Mötley Crüe and every band being signed out of L.A. today.
But the princes of arena garage rock have no sooner returned from the dead to demonstrate the right way to wear a shmatte than they've made one of the dumbest moves of a checkered career. They've tried to make a hit record. And they've not only included uncharacteristic odes to fidelity, an inner-sleeve plea to save the whales and another Beatles remake (their last hit single was a cover of 'Come Together' in 1978). In a desperate attempt to clean up their act for Eighties radio, they've recruited Desmond Child, Jim Vallance and Holly Knight — last year's hitmakers.
It's not the first time Aerosmith has employed brass, strings or outside help. But the band has never worked with people so determined to turn it into Bon Jovi, Heart or Starship. The good news is that it can't be done. Bon Jovi-Loverboy producer Bruce Fairbairn sticks 'em with Jon Boy backgrounds, and Desmond Child sics 'em with 'Angel' (so sappy it could make Ann Wilson choke), but the raw, dirty edges of the Aerosmith of old slash through the power schmaltz. And even though none of the heavier songs ('Dude', 'Hearts Done Time', 'Girl Keeps Coming Apart') packs the hooks of Aerosmith s finest moments, the band has never sounded better or more charged. 'The Movie' a Led Zep-ish instrumental that lets the guitar duo of Perry and Brad Whitford run wild over drummer Joey Kramer and bassist Tom Hamilton's Rock of Gibraltar bottom, is one of Vacations most appealing, offbeat tracks. And Steven Tyler has never sung more fluently or blown harp with more authority than he does on 'Hangman Jury', an antidrug message that doesn't need its squeaking-rocker sound effect for back-porch blues authenticity. Now that the members of Aerosmith are tougher than leather, it's a shame they can't find collaborators who will kick them back in the saddle.

In a LEAN QCAlgorithm, I can request a trade and emit an Insight with either self.SetHoldings() or self.EmitInsights().
In the former method, trades are executed immediately as specified, such that I can monitor the precise points for market entry / exits and position a strategy accordingly.
However, in the latter method, trades are closed after the duration expires, such that they'll often close too soon or too late -- particularly when thinking about a market in terms of volume-bars, dollar-bars, or price-bars rather than time-bars.
Should a strategy first submit a worst-case duration in an insight, then emit a follow-up InsightDirection.Flat at a minimum timedelta duration to try to close out a position at the right time? Or, is it appropriate to use self.SetHoldings?

O'REILLY'S NEXT STOP After such a massive shakeup, where does someone of Bill O'Reilly's magnitude land back on his feet? Because of his high voltage exposure, all of the alphabet networks are out of the picture. When O'Reilly's non-compete clause runs out about six months from now, O'Reilly is free as a bird to land in any nest. JRRR predicts a possibility of Conservative media company Newsmax with its TV network (on cable and online), website, magazine and newsletter. Newsmax can use Bill O'Reilly's superstar power.
50 YEAR HOUSTON, TX NEWS ANCHOR STEPS DOWN You may notice that we say steps down instead of retire. We do not believe that the word retire is in KTRK TV CH 13 Houston, TX Dave Ward's vocabulary. In November 1966, newscaster Dave Ward exits KNUZ-1230 for a gig on KTRK TV as reporter and photographer. Ward never dreams that his news anchor position on KTRK TV last 50 years when many others bow out sooner. May 2, 2017 is the final day that Dave Ward appears in KTRK TV's 6 pm news anchor chair.

DAN MCCURDY [formerly Charlie & Harrigan-KLIF-1190/KBOX-1480 Dallas, TX/WMEX Boston, MA] (Sherman, TX) Whoa, Jim! You happened onto a rare and seminal scene of Chapman's undoing few could imagine! RON GOT FIRED! To hear him describe his frantic flailings and crazed collection of SFX and bits for his next gig, it would likely be, "WFAA (TV) and I agreed that the 'teen dance' broadcast fad had peaked and I now had a chance to use the TV show as a stepping-stone to where my highly successful radio chops needed to be — as the Southwest's Premier Broadcast Personality. And by George, I DID IT!!" I honor and respect what RC accomplished at KVIL (FM) — simply astounding national radio fame as 'the AC King' — but I will be forever grateful that, at KLIF (1190), I worked WITH him and not FOR him! – Dan
JUDGE JONATHAN HAYES [ex KWKH-1130, KEEL-710, WKY-930, KLIF-1190, KVIL FM, KLUV FM] (Waxahachie, TX) My first radio job out of Elkins Institute in Dallas was in October of 1970 at KIXL (1040) in Dallas. I also worked at KLUE in Longview (pm drive), KWKH Shreveport (evenings), KJOE (pm drive), KRMD (pm drive) and KEEL (evenings). KKLR (am drive) and WKY (middays) in OKC. KLIF (pm drive), KVIL (helicopter traffic), KLUV (am drive), etc…etc.
ANDY WALDROP [ex KILT-610, KIKK FM] (Houston, TX) Judge (Jonathon Hayes) is a good guy. Lives in the Dallas area (Waxahachie, I think). He's conservative and has been in radio for a good number of years.
TRIVIA ANSWER: In the late 1950s, the FCC considers several systems to add stereo to FM radio. The FCC rejects the Crosby system because it is incompatible with existing subsidiary communications authorization (SCA) services. The FCC rejects the Halstead system due to lack of high frequency stereo separation and reduction in the main channel signal-to-noise ratio. On April 20, 1961 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approves the GE and Zenith systems of FM stereo broadcasting.
CHUCK DUNAWAY [WABC-770, KLIF-1190, KBOX-1480 & KILT-610] (Houston-Katy, TX) Subject: Foreman Scotty kiddie TV show. Jim; PS: those overalls are on display at a museum in OKC. I was a character named Hog Waller (WKY TV). The Foreman Scotty show out rated another kiddie show called Beanie and Cecil which was on at the same time on ABC…we had the only TV show to beat Beanie and Cecil in the USA. There was talk about us going onto the full Net on Saturdays, but my deadly deed cancelled that. When the museum called me to ask for a pair of the overalls. I simply went out and bought a pair and washed them before sending them to the museum… (www.chuckdunawaydj.com/)

Dia Mirza is an actress who associates herself with so many causes. The versatile lady, who is also the UN Environment's Goodwill Ambassador, has been actively campaigning against the use of plastic. She has now taken to the publishing industry's forefront to launch Om Books International's Latest anthology of poems titled "The Sound of Silence" by Akanksha G Mittal.
The book's author has her husband to thank for being the inspiration behind the book. She proudly proclaimed being a nature lover, being born and brought up in the hills. She found an expression in poetry for the feelings inside of her, which gave birth to this anthology of 63 poems. Akanksha feels it is important to write your heart out and believe in yourself for everything that you write. Akanksha G Mittal herself is a debutante in the publishing space, and she hopes to bring another sequel to "The Sound of Silence" really soon!
Speaking with Dia, who was also the chief guest of the event, her concern for environmental causes outshone everything that she said. Dia said she would love to write a book on the unsung heroes on environment conservation, given the change to publish her own book. She believes the debuting authors of today, like Akanksha, are extremely self-aware and they don't need any external help from anyone. When asked about the status of environment conservation and the use of technology today, Dia feels that it is an exciting space to be in today with lots of awareness developing through the internet and mediums like photography, poetry, and even audio visual storytelling!
The book launch event also covered various facets of the book itself, with Dia and Akanksha both reading out sections from the book. The launch was also attended by well-known Indian photographer Raghu Rai. Copies of the book were signed exclusively by the debutante author, and yes, we got one too!

Cameron accepts a faculty position!
Cameron will become an Assistant Professor and start his own laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University next year (Jul 2022).
The Turk-Browne lab is broadly interested in how we see (perception), how we control what we see and how it controls us (attention), and how we store what we see in our heads (learning and memory) — and especially in how all of these parts of the mind interact. We use a combination of functional neuroimaging and behavioral/psychophysical experiments to explore these topics.
