Meijer Inc. found that making little changes to its e-commerce site can increase conversion rates, says Rick McNeill, the grocery and general merchandise chain's web design product manager.
Meijer.com launched in late 2007, and since then the retailer has made tweaks here and there. Though he declines to detail how the changes have improved traffic to the site, Rick McNeill, the grocery and general merchandise chain's web design product manager, says they have led to more shoppers buying products from Meijer.com.
McNeill will be speaking at the Internet Retailer Web Design & Usability Conference, Feb. 15-17 in Orlando, FL, in a session entitled Step by step: Little changes add up. Not all retailers can afford the time or money required for major web site overhauls, especially with the fragile state of the economy, McNeill says. And not all e-retailers need to put their site through massive renovations.
One small change at Meijer.com included increasing the size of the search bar, making it more visible. That enabled customers to find the search bar more easily, which makes for a quicker, more efficient shopping experience, says McNeill. "Customers are not struggling looking for the box on the page," he says.
Meijer also improved its page load times by up to 50%, he says. Though such improvements often can be measured in seconds, customers can perceive the change as dramatic, McNeill says. Customers tend to stay longer on Meijer.com and return more often if they are not forced to wait to shop. McNeil notes that a survey in December from IT infrastructure firm Sawis found that if a page takes more than two seconds to load, 14% of consumers will leave. Pages that take more than 10 seconds to load will lose 70% of shoppers.
"If our pages are loading slowly, that gets as old as standing in line at the bricks-and-mortar store," McNeill says.
To improve page load times, Meijer.com reduced how many interactive elements it offered. "We had some nice flash pieces that were impacting page load times," McNeill says. The retailer also beefed up its server capacity.
One key to achieving these relatively small changes-that is, avoiding project inflation-is to set and keep specific goals, and focus on the most profitable aspect of the e-commerce site, McNeill says. Additionally, a level of simplicity may come from forgoing the hiring of relatively expensive consultants for usability studies and relying instead, as Meijer has done, on cheaper feedback from web businesses that serve as de-facto focus groups.

GSA Transfers Historic Dyer Building to Miami Dade College
Fiduciary Duty in Congress
A relentless grievance on the right is that House and Senate Republicans do zilch to rein in the Obama Administration, so it's ironic that almost no one notices when they try. Congress recently moved to block a billion-dollar Labor Department rule, which was one of the GOP's promises during the 2014 election campaign.
Last week the Senate voted 56-41 to prevent Labor's fiduciary rule, which will run up the cost of financial planning by requiring brokers to act in a client's "best interest." Millions of low- and middle-earners with IRAs will be priced out of services except automated advice, and bad robot counsel could cost American savers $80 billion in a downturn, according to economists Hal Singer and Robert Litan.
Three Democratic Senators voted with Republicans to defend your 401(k): Indiana's Joe Donnelly, North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp and Montana's Jon Tester. Companion legislation breezed through the House last month.
The measure now goes to President Obama's desk thanks to the Congressional Review Act, which allows the legislature 60 days to block a final rule with simple majorities in the House and Senate. The law has been getting a workout: The 114th Congress has disapproved of the Clean Power Plan; a Clean Water Act diktat; a union rule at the National Labor Relations Board; and now Labor's fiduciary regulation. These efforts hold Democrats politically accountable for a rule's consequences.
But President Obama promises to veto the fiduciary repeal bill, as he's rejected every such measure. Senate Republicans won't be able to muster a two-thirds super majority to override the President, and the fiduciary rule will likely hit this summer. Conservative muscle groups could educate their networks about this—though that would interfere with their fund-raising line that Republicans are sellouts to Mr. Obama.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to Testify Before Commerce Committee
"The Administration's Overtime Rule and Its Consequences for Workers, Students, Nonprofits, and Small Businesses"
Chabot, Connolly Introduce Bill to Help More Small Businesses Export
Chabot, Connolly Introduce Bill to Help More Small Businesses Export
WASHINGTON – Small Business Committee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-OH) and Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA) have introduced H.R. 2586, the Export Coordination Act of 2015, a bill to improve the coordination of federal export promotion resources and to streamline the export process so that more small businesses can sell goods overseas.
"When it comes to exporting, most small businesses don't know where to start," said Chabot. "The process can be incredibly complex and the federal resources that are supposed to help them navigate the process are just as intimidating. The Export Coordination Act would streamline these resources and take steps to make the process easier for businesses.
Chabot added, "It is my hope that this bill – and other solutions that the Small Business Committee is currently working on – will open the door for more small businesses to sell their goods overseas, which ultimately provides more opportunities for working families."
Congressman Connolly said, "The federal government stands ready to help small businesses access foreign markets and create jobs through exports. This bill will ensure that federal trade promotion agencies are reaching out to state and local partners and making access to these resources as straightforward as possible."
U.S. exports support more than 38 million American jobs – including 1 in 3 manufacturing jobs. Despite the fact that 95 percent of the world's consumers live outside of the United States, only 2 percent of all small businesses export their goods.
H.R. 2586 would require the United States Department of Commerce's Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) to clearly define each federal agency's role in the export process, establish a central listing of all trade events, give state trade agencies a voice in setting our national export strategy, and reduce overlap of current export resources.

Fact Sheet: Senate Action on TSA Screening Delays and Making Travel Safer
On April 19, 2016, the U.S. Senate voted 95-3 to approve a security-focused, passenger-friendly bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration and other federal air travel programs. The bill included several bipartisan provisions authored by both members of the Senate and the House of Representatives to improve the safety and efficiency of airport security. The bill's comprehensive security improvement initiatives include:
- Reducing wait times through PreCheck – Senate passed security provisions awaiting House action include the TSA PreCheck Enhancement which would help enroll more Americans in expedited security screening to reduce waits by vetting more passengers before they arrive to get them through checkpoints quickly.
- Using K-9s and personnel to increase safety and efficiency – The Senate bill includes provisions to enhance the security presence of K-9 units and other personnel in pre-screening airport areas and increases preparedness for active shooter incidents.
- Securing international flights bound for the U.S. – Because some international airports abroad operating non-stop flights to U.S. airports lack the security equipment and expertise of U.S. and other state-of-the-art airports, the Senate FAA bill awaiting House action authorizes TSA to donate unneeded security equipment to foreign airports with direct flights to the U.S., permits increased cooperation between U.S. officials and partner nations, and requires a new assessment of foreign cargo security programs.
- Addressing the insider threat of terrorism – The Senate passed bill also enhances requirements and vetting for airport employees with access to secure areas. It expands the use of random and physical inspections of airport employees in secure areas and requires a review of perimeter security.

"Beyond unacceptable, it is absurd"
National Taxpayer Advocate: IRS Not Helping Entrepreneurs in the Sharing Economy
WASHINGTON – The National Taxpayer Advocate told members of the House Small Business Committee today that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not been helping Americans navigate tax rules and regulations in the new sharing economy. Today's hearing was the second in a two-part series held by the Committee examining tax compliance challenges for entrepreneurs in the sharing economy.
"When the IRS is behind the times, it puts small businesses behind the eight ball," said House Small Business Committee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-OH). "This failure has left on-demand platform companies and their workers confused and frustrated as they try to do the right thing and pay the taxes they owe."
"Here's the real kicker: many on-demand companies say they would gladly provide tax compliance training but they don't because they are afraid the IRS will reclassify their relationship and subject them to whole new host of regulations and obligations," Chairman Chabot observed.
"Congressional committees like ours have a duty to provide robust oversight of the IRS and ensure they are providing small businesses with clarity and treating them fairly," Chabot added.
"If a person working in the sharing economy called the IRS toll free line today, he or she would hear a recording saying the IRS is not answering any tax law questions after April 15th, so please check IRS dot gov," testified Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate at the IRS. "The same message is given to people asking questions at IRS walk-in sites. For a tax agency to not answer questions from taxpayers trying to learn what they need to do to comply is beyond unacceptable, it's absurd."
Under current IRS rules, Olson explained, "An Airbnb host would have to sift through a 24 page publication 527 residential rental property and an Uber driver would have to navigate through the 50 page publication 463 travel, entertainment, gift and car expenses and they still might not understand how these rules apply to themselves as service providers in the sharing economy."

Overdue: Chabot, Chaffetz Press OMB on Paperwork Reduction Requirements
WASHINGTON—House Small Business Committee Chairman Steve Chabot (R-Ohio), joined by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) today asked the Office and Management and Budget for a long overdue status update on the federal paperwork burden.
Chairmen Chabot and Chaffetz, whose Committees have jurisdiction over the Paperwork Reduction Act, pointed out to OMB Director Shaun Donovan that "the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to annually submit a report to Congress on the paperwork burden imposed on individuals, small businesses and others by federal agencies and efforts to reduce those burdens."
As Chabot and Chaffetz noted, "OMB's report, which it calls the Information Collection Budget, is long overdue. Congress did not receive a report in 2015."

May 26, 2016
The Honorable Shaun Donovan
Office of Management and Budget
Washington, D.C. 20503
Dear Director Donovan:
As Chairmen of the Committees with jurisdiction over the Paperwork Reduction Act,
5 U.S.C. §§ 3501-21 (PRA), we write to inquire about the Office of Management and Budget's annual report on the federal paperwork burden. Pursuant to the PRA, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to annually submit a report to Congress on the paperwork burden imposed on individuals, small businesses, and others by federal agencies and efforts to reduce those burdens. OMB's report, which it calls the Information Collection Budget, is long overdue.
Congress did not receive a report in 2015. The last report that OMB issued was in 2014 and covered the paperwork burden imposed on the public in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. We are concerned that OMB is not fulfilling its obligations under the PRA. Congress needs the Information Collection Budget to evaluate the overall federal paperwork burden and determine whether legislative changes are necessary to ensure the PRA operates as Congress intended. Therefore, we request that OMB provide the following information:
1. Why did OMB fail to issue a report to Congress on the federal paperwork burden in 2015?
2. On what date will OMB publish the Information Collection Budget that covers the federal paperwork burdens for FY 2014?
3. On what date will OMB publish the Information Collection Budget that covers the federal paperwork burdens for FY 2015?
4. Please explain how OMB will ensure that it provides Congress with an annual report on the federal paperwork burden as required by 5 U.S.C. § 3514 from now on.
5. Please provide all policies and guidance documents explaining how OMB approves information collection requests.
Please provide your responses no later than June 23, 2016

Walberg Statement: Hearing on "Promoting Safe Workplaces Through Effective and Responsible Recordkeeping Standards"
As I said at a hearing last month, we all agree that hardworking men and women should be able to earn a paycheck without risking a serious injury or being exposed to a deadly disease, and every family deserves the peace of mind that their loved ones are safe on the job. There is no one in this room who doubts the need for strong health and safety protections, or that OSHA has a role to play in promoting safe workplaces. Reducing occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities is a priority that crosses party lines, and stretches from the White House to the halls of Congress.
However, there are times when we share a difference of opinion in how to reach that goal. One illness, one injury, or one fatality in the workplace is one too many. That's why, as a committee, we believe bad actors who cut corners and put workers in harm's way must be held accountable. At the same time, the administration should work with employers to address gaps in safety in order to prevent injuries and illnesses before they occur.
We also believe health and safety policies should be created with input from the public. Employers and their employees know better than most the unique safety challenges facing their workplaces. If rules coming out of Washington fail to account for those unique challenges, or if they're too complex and confusing to understand, they won't deliver the protections workers need. That's why the rulemaking process should be transparent and allow for public feedback.
Unfortunately, time and again, the Obama administration has pursued a different, more punitive approach. The majority of employers want to do the right thing. But instead of working with those employers to develop proactive safety measures, the agency is focused more on punishing everyone for the actions of a few.
As I said, employers who jeopardize the safety of workers must be held accountable. But the agency's reactive approach does nothing to help employers understand complicated regulations, and it does nothing to achieve our common goal of preventing tragedies from occurring in the first place.
Several recent changes to OSHA's injury and illness reporting standards are the latest example of this flawed approach, and the focus of our hearing. These new requirements significantly change who the standards apply to, what needs to be reported, and how and when OSHA must be notified. As is often the case, these changes will create additional layers of red tape—especially for small businesses with limited resources to fully understand complex safety standards. And to make matters worse, the administration has advanced these expansive changes despite broad, public concerns.
One of the most concerning requirements calls for public posting of injury and illness records online without corresponding context. This regulatory scheme designed to shame employers will do little—if anything—to advance the cause of worker safety. What it will do is make it easier for Big Labor to organize, and for trial lawyers to bring frivolous lawsuits. The agency will need to spend millions of dollars on this special interest tool, which will shift scarce resources away from proactive policies to improve safety, such as inspections and compliance assistance programs. And in the process, the agency is jeopardizing the privacy of workers' personal information. This rule isn't about serving the best interests of workers—it's about serving powerful special interests at the expense of workers.
We owe it to working families to hold the administration accountable for its misguided policies and to call on OSHA to take a more responsible, effective, and collaborative approach. This oversight hearing is an important part of that effort and our commitment to protecting the health and safety of America's workers.

Improvements in Hurricane Forecasting and the Path Forward
Sen. Bill Nelson Opening Statement
At 6:30 on the morning of September 26, 1955, the Jacksonville, Florida-based crew of the Snowcloud Five departed Guantanamo, Cuba for Category Four Hurricane Janet.
The aircraft and eleven brave lives were lost to the storm. Hurricane Janet then went on to hit the Yucatan peninsula, with a death toll numbering over five hundred.
As a current NOAA Corps hurricane hunter pilot tells it, when folks ask him if he's crazy, he just answers, "You're worth it." The dedicated officers of the NOAA Corps and the scientists their planes carry are passionate.
And even after the tragedy of the Snowcloud Five, NOAA employees continue to brave the elements to provide severe weather warnings.
So as a senator from the state with the most hurricane strikes in the U.S. mainland, I am deeply appreciative of the work of our witness, the National Hurricane Center, the NOAA Corps hurricane hunters, and the Hurricane Research Division. And I'm proud that each of these entities call Florida home.
Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure to get my hands on technology that can extend the impressive reach of the NOAA hurricane hunters.
Did you know that the hunters fly as low as 1500 feet in these storms?
They do that because the lowest levels of a hurricane—called the boundary layer where the storm meets the ocean—provide critical information about what the storm is going to do. Hurricanes are fueled by warm ocean water. And yesterday, we got to see the hunter's new partner: a hurricane drone called "The Coyote." NOAA will deploy eight of these drones—made by Raytheon—during the upcoming hurricane season, which officially starts next week. The Coyote can fly as far as 50 miles away from the hurricane hunter airplane gathering important data about the storm, and especially, about the boundary layer.
Dr. Knabb, I hope you won't take offense when I say that I hope your job is very boring this year. We've been spared from "the big one" for several years now.
Though I hope that trend continues, I also realize that it's only a matter of time. And we have to be ready.
After the horrific series of storms in 2005—Katrina, Rita, and Wilma—it became clear that our ability to forecast the intensity of a hurricane was not up to par. So several expert reports recommended that we invest $85 million a year for the next 10 years to improve the forecasts.
Seven years ago this month, NOAA formally established the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project.
The five-year goal of the project to reduce average track and intensity errors by 20% has been met. And that's no small feat. Research within NOAA and at places like the University of Miami has significantly improved our ability to predict where a hurricane will go and how strong it will be.
But proposed budget cuts by the administration threaten the ten-year goal of the program. This is unacceptable.
That's why Senator Rubio and I filed legislation to codify the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project. This program is about saving lives and property from one of the most fatal natural disasters.
And we simply cannot afford to be penny-wise and pound-foolish when it comes to hurricanes.
In 1992, Hurricane Andrew claimed 26 lives—15 in Florida alone—and left more than 160,000 Dade County residents homeless. Its economic cost to the United States was over $25 billion dollars.
Hurricane Katrina was responsible for 1833 deaths and $108 billion in damages.
And as Ranking Member Booker knows too well, Superstorm Sandy took 147 lives, damaged at least 650,000 houses, and left 8.5 million customers without power.
So I appreciate Senator Rubio for calling this hearing today. We can't afford to look in the rearview mirror and wish we had invested more in the science.
Thanks Dr. Knabb for all you do to help us prepare for and avoid the devastation that comes with hurricanes.

<p>"Two years ago, the Commerce
"Two years ago, the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced its intention to transition the functions of the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) to the global multistakeholder community.
"Since that time, the multistakeholder community—made up of businesses, technical experts, academics and civil society—has spent more than 26,000 working hours on the IANA (pronounced eye-ANNE-uh) transition proposal, and held more than 600 related meetings and calls.
"At the outset of this hearing, I would like to acknowledge the hard work undertaken by many stakeholders, some of whom are here today as witnesses, in taking on the daunting task of developing the transition proposal.
"Regardless of where one stands on the transition, we should recognize the difficult work that has been done, and the ongoing commitment that will be needed if the transition is to be completed in a way that addresses the important concerns that have been raised about the future governance of the Internet.
"On March 10th, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) forwarded to NTIA for review the transition proposal developed by the global community of Internet stakeholders.
"NTIA set a target of 90 days to complete its review, which is expected to be completed on June 10th, whereupon NTIA will issue a report stating its determination as to whether the proposal meets the criteria NTIA outlined when it first announced the transition, such as the requirement that the proposal maintain the openness and global interoperability of the Internet.
"If NTIA approves the transition, ICANN expects to produce an implementation report by August 15th.
"The existing IANA contract is set to expire on September 30, 2016, unless NTIA acts to extend it or Congress acts to delay the transition.
"These dates are rapidly approaching, which is why I called this hearing today to examine the stakeholders' transition proposal.
"Our Committee held an earlier hearing on the proposed IANA transition in February of 2015.
"At that hearing, I said I would review any IANA transition plan to make sure it both meets the requirements laid out by NTIA, and that it adopts meaningful accountability reforms, such as curtailing government involvement in apolitical governance matters; providing additional oversight tools to the multistakeholder community; and adopting an independent dispute resolution process.
"Last year, I also introduced the DOTCOM Act along with Senators Schatz, Wicker, and Rubio, which our committee approved on a bipartisan basis.
"With that bill, which also passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 378 to 25, we all made it clear that any transition plan must not "replace the role of the NTIA with a government-led or intergovernmental organization."
"Further, the DOTCOM Act would require any transition plan to maintain "the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet domain name system."
"I hope to hear from each of our witnesses whether they believe the proposed IANA transition plan developed by the multistakeholder community meets these requirements, as well as whether it satisfies NTIA's criteria.
"In particular, I am interested to learn whether the stakeholder community has delivered a proposal with accountability reforms strong enough to give Congress and the American people confidence that the time has come to privatize the IANA functions.
"At last year's IANA hearing, I said that the goal of everyone here is the same: we want one, global Internet that is not fragmented nor hijacked by authoritarian regimes.
"Whether the IANA transition goes forward or not, I know that everyone wants to ensure all Internet users can continue to have complete faith that the IANA functions will be carried out effectively and seamlessly long into the future.
"We have a distinguished panel here today, representing a diverse variety of perspectives, professional experiences, and personal views.
"I'm looking forward to hearing from each of you.
"With that, I turn to the ranking member for any comments he would like to make."

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to lighting fixtures for illuminating an area containing ignitable materials. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved battery backed-up, explosion proof lighting fixture that will generate light in the event of a loss of the external power.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Regulation and codes dictate the type of lighting equipment that can be used in areas or environments containing ignitable material in attempts to prevent lighting fixtures from causing the ignitable materials to explode. For example, a spark generated by the lighting fixture could cause the material to explode. Therefore, the regulations are primarily directed to the housing of the fixture containing the light source.
Many types of lighting fixtures could be useful in the ignitable environments including, for example, main lighting fixture, exit lighting fixture, and safety lighting fixture. Main lighting fixtures are used to illuminate the entire area. Typically, self-powering exit lighting fixtures and safety lighting fixtures are designed to function in the event of a power failure. Exit lighting fixtures that emit sufficient light to identify the location of exits are positioned at the appropriate locations. Safety lighting fixtures function similarly to exit lighting fixtures, but typically emit more light than exit lighting fixtures. Since both the exit and safety lighting fixtures are used during power outages, most utilize batteries or some other self powering mechanism.
Many manufacturers market battery backed-up, explosion proof exit and safety lighting fixtures (hereinafter referred to as "prior art fixtures"). These lighting fixtures have some deficiencies most of which are associated with the designs and configurations of the these lighting fixtures. Most manufacturers manufacture two types of units: the single light unit and the multilight unit. The problems associated with the single light units are found in the multilight units as well. However, there are unique deficiencies associated with the multilight units. The following discussion on the deficiencies of the prior art fixtures is directed to both single unit safety and exit lighting fixtures unless otherwise specified.
One problem with the design of the prior art fixture design is that the battery is located external to the housing containing the light source. A typical fixture includes a lighting housing connected to a bracket that is mounted to a battery box. The battery box is designed to be permanently mounted to the wall or the support structure and typically includes several bolts or other types of locking mechanisms to maintain any electronics and the batteries therein. The entire fixture is usually very heavy and cumbersome to install.
Due to permanent installations and the location of the batteries of the prior art lighting fixtures, maintenance and replacement of the fixtures are sometimes time consuming and costly. For example, in order to replace or test the battery, the entire fixture, including the lighting housing, the bracket, and the battery box, should be removed in order to isolate the electronics from the ignitable material, and thus, maintain a fully explosion proof status. However, in practice, when repair or replacement of the electronics or batteries is necessary, the bolts or other locking mechanisms are removed from the battery box, thus exposing the ignitable material to the electronics and batteries. Therefore, the entire heavy lighting fixture must be removed to avoid a potential explosion during repair or maintenance.
Another problem with the prior art lighting fixtures is that the fixtures are permanently affixed to a wall or support structure end cannot be removed to illuminate other areas unreachable by the light from the permanently mounted fixtures. In some instances, it may be necessary to illuminate these other areas, for example, different passage ways may need to be illuminated during the evacuation of a building.
There is at least one problem that is exclusively associated with the multilight units, where at least two lamps are connected to the single remote battery. When the battery fails, so do all the lights attached to that battery.
Yet another problem with the prior art lighting fixture is that the lighting fixture is only illuminated when there is a loss of external power. In some instance, it is desirable to have safety lighting fixtures that are illuminated at all times.
Finally, the prior art light fixtures utilize incandescent bulbs as light sources. Incandescent bulbs are not as efficient as, for example, flourescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generally require quite a bit of power for illumination, which consequently requires a large battery. The life time of the incandescent bulb is not as long as flourescent, thus, requiring more frequent replacements.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a self contained, explosion proof lighting fixture to illuminate an area containing ignitable materials.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a multilight, self-contained, explosion proof lighting fixture, wherein the failure of one lighting fixture or battery will not cause the remaining fixture light to fail.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a portable exit or safety lighting fixture.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide exit and safety lighting fixtures that are easily maintained and replaced.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an efficient, light weight exit or safety lighting fixture.
These and other objects are attained by a lighting fixture including a light source mounted in an explosion proof housing and powered from either an external power source or by a power storage cell mounted in the housing. Means for electrically connecting the power storage cell to the light source for illumination of the light source in response to loss of the external power to the light source is connected to the power storage cell and the external power source. The housing includes a portable case which is releasably connected to a mounting bracket and in which the light source and power storage cell are mounted having a window through which light may be transmitted. The housing also includes parts for electrically transmitting power from the external power source to the light source, the parts being engagable to transmit power to the light source, when the bracket and case are connected, and being disengagable when the bracket and case are disconnected so that the light source becomes powered by the power storage cell.
In the drawings, wherein like reference characters are used throughout to designate like parts:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a single unit safety lighting fixture constructed in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a dual unit safety lighting fixture constructed in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the lighting fixture shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines indicated in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the circuit that provides power from the storage cell to the light source in the event of loss of external power.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an exit dome used to convert the safety lighting fixture in FIGS. 1 and 2 into an exit lights in accordance with the present invention.
With reference now to the details of the above-described drawings, FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 show lighting fixture 10 that includes mounting bracket 16, a portable case 12 releasably connected to the bracket through thread 22, and a window 14 in the lower end of the case through which light may be transmitted. Window 14 is sealed in place in portable case 12 through threaded members 18 and 20.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a cross-section of lighting fixture 10 incorporating the light source 24 is shown. Light source 24 is attached to light source mounting plate 21, which is connected to circuit board mounting plate 23. Circuit board mounting plate 23 is removably mounted into portable case 12 by screws 25. Light source 24 is electrically connected to circuit board 30 which is mounted to circuit board mounting plate 23 (not shown).
Sources of electrical power and ground (not shown) are available in mounting bracket 16 and are electrically connected to circuit board 30, when portable case 12 is mounted in bracket arm 16, through coaxial ring connector 26 and power and ground wires 27 and 28. Wires 27 and 28 apply power and ground, respectively, to circuit board 30, as shown in FIG. 5.
Storage cells 32 are also connected to circuit board 30 at the locations shown. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the external power is only used to recharge batteries 32, and not to illuminate light source 24 when electrically connected to circuit board 30. Light source 24 is only illuminated by batteries 32, when a loss of external power is detected. Specifically, alternating current from the external power source is fed into direct current power supply 40 in order to product sufficient voltage to charge batteries 32 through charging circuit 42. When a loss of external power occurs on line 27, switching circuit 44 detects the loss and connects batteries 32 to electronic ballast 46, which included a starter and strike circuit to turn on the light source 24 and a transformer to maintain sufficient voltage across light source 24 to keep it illuminated. An electronic ballast is required because in the preferred embodiment of this invention light source 24 is a flourescent bulb. The electronic ballast is designed to illuminate the flourescent bulb to 100% capacity. All the elements in the circuit described above are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and could easily be modified by one of ordinary skill in the art to accommodate an incandescent light source instead of a fluorescent light source.
The circuit could also be easily modified by one of ordinary skilled in the art to maintain light source 24 illuminated at times regardless of whether the power is from the external source or batteries 32 by including a second ballast 48 connected to light source 24 through switch 50, which provides power to light source 24 until a loss of power is detected, at which time the switch connects light source 24 to electronic ballast 46.
A loss of external power can be caused by external power source failure or the disconnection of the portable case 12 from mounting bracket 16. Therefore, in the event of a loss of external power, portable case housing light source 24 and powered battery 32 may be removed from the mounting bracket at threads 22, thereby creating a portable light source.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, storage cells 32 are Powersonic Nicad 1.2 Volt rechargeable batteries. However, any type of device capable of storing energy in some form and of converting the stored energy to electrical energy when accessed, can be used. Also, ill the preferred embodiment of this invention, mounting bracket 16, portable case 12 and window 14 (to the extent thus far described) are manufactured by Killark Manufacturing Co., of St. Louis Miss., and known as Model No. EMI15A2G.
The design of light fixture 10 reduces maintenance of the lighting and repair cost fixture. Due to the interlocking threaded elements in the housing, light source 24 and batteries 32 can be easily replaced by removing threaded shoulder 20 from portable case 12.
This particular emergency light can be easily transformed into an exit light by placing exit dome 52, shown in FIG. 6 over top of window 14. An opening on the top of the dome fits snugly around the outer edge of threaded member 20.
FIG. 2 shows two portable case 12 connected to a T-bar bracket arm 40. Each of the portable cases contain separate batteries, such that if one of the light sources fails, the other will continue to work. In the event that there is a loss of external power to both lamps, each is run from its respective battery and performs independently from the other.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to obtain all the ends and objects hereinabove set forth, together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the apparatus. For example, the circuit if FIG. 5 could easily be modified by one of ordinary skill in the art to include circuitry to allow for testing of the battery and light source, while external power is connected.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims. As many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Ascended Earth Update

Hello Dear Lightworkers:
This is the Ascended Earth update for Thursday, March 15.
Energy continues to mount against the dark regime and their terror movie:
Hands off Iraqi Oil
link to action.priceofoil.org
From Protest to Resistance
link to www.worldcantwait.net
In my frequent meditations throughout the day, I see Gaia radiant with Golden Light, surrounded by a circle of Ascended Humanity sparkling with rainbow colors.
The pot is so near to boiling, the lid is literally floating!
Yes, they do say a watched pot never boils. That is why we, as Lightworkers, must see the pot already boiling. We must see the Earth, Gaia's body, already healed with Radiant Love and Humanity Ascended, having already responded to our continual channeling of Pure Unconditional Love.
Do you remember the song, Bring me a Higher Love? That used to be one of my favorite songs to dance to!
Let's join together, dear Lightworkers, and lift humanity and Gaia to a Higher Love this month!
We can lift the Earth to a higher frequency of Love, in which all fear based energies are transformed immediately into Pure Unconditional Love. Fear, after all, is simply the absence of Love. Where Love is, fear is not.
Continually throughout the day, feel the Pure Unconditional Love flowing from your Higher Self and flow it through you to the mass consciousness couple at the center of the Earth, telling them: "We are all One. I Love You!"
See the Pure Unconditional Love radiating out from the mass consciousness couple , purifying, balancing, harmonizing the Earth and dissolving all pollution throughout the Earth, Gaia's body.
See Rainbow Humanity, joining hands around the Earth in celebration of having defeated fear. A Rainbow of Ascended Humanity around the Earth which is itself glowing Golden, having dissolved all fear based energies. Feel the Joy of that perfect moment in time.
Live the truth 24 hours a day, "We are all One. I Love You!" It will carry you to ascension and the Highest Heavens.
Pure Unconditional Love Dissolves fear!
Let's all share our experiences in meditation with one another in the Lightworkers Forum.

From Publishers Weekly
Aside from the alliterative appeal of a pop-up Mr. Popper, it's hard to see how the children's classic benefits from this particular format. From the arrival of a penguin at the Popper home through the household's adjustments to the formation of Popper's Performing Penguin touring show, the key episodes of the original receive hasty--needfully abridged--treatment. Despite the condensation, a great deal of text crowds the pages, lessening the book's fascination for younger readers. Older readers, on the other hand, will probably not be impressed with the paper engineering. Most of it lacks sophistication (pull a tab, and a penguin flaps its wing or sleds down a hill); in some places it's just silly (one pull-tab makes a penguin descend a slide--but only halfway). At no point, however, do the illustrations sustain the amount of text. Stick with the real thing. Ages 6-10.
