How would you like an ever-changing address minus the stress of moving every now and again? Luxury cruise, The World, caters to this unusual whim by providing a host of luxury residences at sea. To have a luxury cruise as one's home is a dream come true, especially when the cruise in question sails to every corner of the world.
Journeying On The World
The World began its journey around the globe in 2002. Since then, the luxury cruise has carried passengers to exciting and exotic lands. In 2012, the journey begins from vibrant Cape Town, and sails around Africa's southernmost tip before island-hopping its way to Australia and New Zealand. Thereon, the ship cruises to the Melanasian and French Polynesian Islands, Hawaii and the western coast of the United States of America. Then it is on to Canada, Alaska, the Northwest Passage and the eastern coast of the United States. By the fag end of the year, The World will have reached the Caribbean in time to party 2012 away.
Luxury Living On The World
If the prospect of being constantly on the move appeals to you, take a closer look at The World. The 196-meter ship is practically a floating island that offers 165 luxury residences. The homes are of various different sizes, but each comes with a private balcony of its own. However, the biggest attraction on this spectacular ship is located on Deck 10 – a six-bedroom home that is currently up for sale. Life on a boat may not be suited to everybody, but ultra-wealthy millionaires could consider this luxurious ocean property.
Is this really home? Maybe not in the conventional sense. But The World offers everything you might need in your neighborhood – restaurants, bars, a theatre, a place of worship, a library, cigar clubs, shopping areas, spas, conference rooms and more. If you love cooking gourmet foods at home, walk down to Fredy's Deli for fresh produce and specialty items. You could even avail of the "Call-a-Chef" program to cook a special meal at your home onboard the ship. As it is, chefs on The World will create authentic dishes as per the ports at which The World docks.
Then again, a luxury cruise remains incomplete without a menu of fine spirits. Thus, The World has massive wine cellars that hold up to 12,000 bottles, providing residents with some 600 varieties of wine labels from across 18 nations. And to top off their indulgent day, residents can head to the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa for relaxing treatments at sea.
Homeowners On The World
The World boasts of a guest list of between 150 and 200 passengers, with a 250-strong staff to take care of them. The homeowners are essentially wealthy, filled with the wanderlust and aged 60 on the average. Some residents have made The World their permanent home while others fly in on weekends. Among the best-known residents is human behavioral expert Dr John Dematini, who bought his luxury residence at sea about a decade ago.
What makes this an even more pleasant experience is that the residents' preferences are stored in computers aboard The World. The homes themselves cost between R6.5 million (about $805,346) and R61 million (about $7,560,808).

There isn't a whole lot about September 2012 I remember. Except that it was one month away from our wedding. For a girl who LOVES football (and that's an understatement), I didn't attend one LSU game and the husband constantly reminds me I had nothing to do with football – college or professional – last year.
If I think hard enough, September was about cutting and tying LOTS of ribbon for favors and programs. It was poring over every detail to make sure there was a plan A, B, C and dare I say D. Ensuring there was not one detail I hadn't thought about.
I wouldn't trade last September, but this September I realized I needed/wanted to take a step back. You already know that the Fall is my favorite season of the year, so why wouldn't I enjoy every-single-second?
It's nearly impossible to be in the wedding industry and not know who Lara Casey is. Following her Instagram and blog posts have lightened social media for me (another post on that coming soon) and her #SavorSeptember motto stuck with me. (Here's a link to her post about Intentional August and Savor September).
While I'm a little late to the party being that it's already September 10, I have a lot of ground to make up. But, better late than never right?
A few key points to my #SavorSeptember include:
- focusing more on the things I already have rather than the things I want
- enjoying Lafayette rather than dwelling on the things I miss about Baton Rouge
- enjoying my Baton Rouge friendships while building new ones in Lafayette;
- enjoying every ounce of fall weather; and
- making the most of the weekends – event and non-event ones. 🙂

There are about 7 acres of virgin bamboo behind my house. They form a rough golden rectangle and include, mixed throughout them, various other plants sparsely spread, as well as some vines and probably more than a few wild animals.
I've cleared a small path that creates a rough running track (very, very thin) through this area in order to do some much-needed agility, speed, and whole-body dexterity training (natural obstructions have been used to create hurdles, high-step traps, and height-changing spaces, so those are built right into the run now) . I've also cleared a small section. Just enough to perform all of my basic drills and forms there. It gives me a clear area that isn't public and won't frighten the neighbors when I decide to do the stick-and-knife forms, but is outside and is a pleasant place to train.
There are two vines that run up a couple of oaks that stand just at the edge of the clearing, and I've taken to using them as climbing ropes for upper body training.
This has gotten me thinking, what other common (and uncommon) training devices, machines, or materials could I easily (and simply!) manufacture out of nothing but the forest, trees, and bamboo? Is a wing chun dummy feasible? What about a punching-bag-like-object? How about a speed bag?
Any suggestions? You may suggest twine as a binding material for the bamboo, I can come by that easily enough. But I'd rather not use anything else (like nails) unless I absolutely must. stuff like Vinyl Siding or Glue is right out. You may assume that I have the various tools I need for any modifications to the area--hatchet, machete, hoe, rake, shovel, etc.
And no suggesting building complicated structures like a nautilus out of bamboo. That would be silly.

DIY - Original T-shirt Appliqué
Hello dears,
This DIY T-shirt already counts second year in my closet, but I think this idea how refresh basic T-shirt is really worth to share :)
First of all I have a question for you- what you usually do with your old bags and wallets?
I think most of you answered: "Well... I throw them away or give it to my little sister, friend or friendly neighbor"- Am I right? :) In my case, as I'm a little bit obsessed with DIY, before I throw something away I make sure I keep everything, what can still be re-used, for the future:) For example, this printed part of T-shirt decoration (in the picture below) was taken of an old wallet! Yes, I know it sounds a little bit crazy, but this wallet had this beautiful flower print so I just couldn't throw it simply in the rubbish bin.
(By the way, from the same wallet I cut also card holder, which I used for my agenda: http://julitastefashion.blogspot.de/2013/01/new-look-for-2013-agenda.html )
So now short description how I made this T-Shirt decoration:
- Cut a piece of leather or material with a print you would like to see later on your shirt;
- Sew it on the shirt;
- Frame this material by sewing lace tape around it;
- Enjoy your original T-shirt! :)
If you like this T-Shirt, I would be very thankful, if you vote for it on Facebook or Instagram (Links are given below)! Because I'm participating in the DIY contest "Aussome Summer-Shirt" and I need your support :)
Thank you!!! :)

Gives a whole new meaning to "cream filling."
In contrast to some of their more batshit sex tips (e.g. "Tickle his feet with your nipples" and "Imagine you're pushing his penis into his body") the sexual brain trust at Cosmo suggest this tantalizing new foreplay move: "Slip a glazed doughnut around his penis and nibble it off."
One intrepid reporter took them up on this challenge and didn't hate it. At first, she writes, the idea of it made her want to "cry and throw up on her boss" and then "quit and cry and throw up forever at home," but after a few nibbles she was sold concluding "It does make perfect sense… That hole. That glaze."
Of course it makes perfect sense! It is a combination of the two best things in the world: oral sex and pastry. The only thing that could make this better was if there was a ring of donuts that you had to eat away before you could get to someone's penis every time. Food foreplay has long been a thing and a personal fantasy of mine is eating a plate of bacon while getting it from behind. (When I tell people this, their reaction is generally the furthest thing from arousal, so I'm still searching for my Prince or Princess Charming on this one.)
If you'd like to to try this seductive move, just remember: don't put food inside any orifice besides your mouth or you might get a nasty infection. Besides that, go to pleasure town, my friends.

Now with the election over, the United States Supreme Court is the next area where major changes will take place - in that arcane branch of government that no one knows all that much about. But we do know that there are changes in the offing and George Walker Bush will be sending names to Congress for confirmation and the cards suggest three new Justices will take their places on the bench before all is said and done and The Court once again will shift its voting patterns.
All signs point to the Supreme Court reasserting itself as a strong branch of the government.
The Significator, this is what the Tarot reading speaks to: The Three of Wands is the Lord of Established Strength. Unlike the Two of Wands which dominated the President's tarot for the rest of the year, the three shows the figure in command and looking over the land, sea, and sky. Three - the third branch of the government. This card is usually associated with courage of conviction and thoughts turning into reality. The robed figure holds the wand of power.
Covering Card, this covers him: The Seven of Pentacles. Concern for the Harvest. This sometimes is the card called "resting on your laurels." As the Court ages, some of the Justices are starting to think about retirement and all have also started to question themselves and reflect on what their time on the court has meant. Hardly an activist Court - a term that would be anathema to most of them - yet they wonder if they have made any difference at all and if, in fact, The Court has lost some of its stature and the Justices may be realizing that a Conservative President, Conservative Congress, and Conservative Court may not be a good recipe. The figure leans on the staff. Read no further than historynet.com, "Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist has just turned 80 and is in failing health, and senior Associate Justice John Paul Stevens is 84 -- virtually ensures that the president will be able to nominate at least two new justices during the four-year term that commences on January 20, 2005."
Crossing Card, behind the scenes - everything has a secret side: The Five of Cups, Despair and the Six of Cups Childhood. When two cards come (stuck) together during a "pull," the two cards are mean to be read together. This is a significant outcome. I see the Five of Cups being the Justices that rather consistently vote as a bloc. Three Justices will leave the Court during Bush's term - the three overturned cups that the figure in the black robe looks at. The two upright cups indicate that two of the appointments made during the next four years will be consistent with the bloc, but the third, as signified by the Six of Cups indicates a Justice who will be surprisingly independent and may end up swinging the court in leadership, not just votes. The Six of Cups does not mean that this third Justice is young in years as much as it means the Justice will be fresh in thought and not tied to old or set ways of thinking - and the President and the conservatives may be in for a surprise when The Court reasserts itself.
The Foundation, this is below him on which he stands: The Ace of Wands. Virility, fire, vitality. The Court is ready to be revitalized. The hand holds the staff - the same one in the Three of Wands, the Significator, and Seven of Pentacles, the Crossing Card. The Court's decisions have seemed ever more perfunctory, at least to the Justices, themselves. Reasserting itself as the third branch of the government will take more than a different voting pattern - it will take exciting the public's imagination - for better or worse.
Behind, this is finished business:The Hanged Man. Suspension of Progress. Yet again, a card that speaks to the perception of stagnation. The Court will be moving past this perception. The Court was put in place based on ideological litmus tests - left and right - and the Court is ready to start thinking for itself. It will be taking a less conservative stance on religion and also will rule more favorably, in aggregate, on the rights of privacy.
Above, what is hanging in the air: Queen of Cups. A Good Woman. In Bush's weekly tarot, this was Laura Bush, but in this case it may well be Sandra Day O'Connor. With two of the nine Justices, women, if either of the two female Justices steps down (O'Connor is 74 and Ginsberg is 71) there will be strong pressure on the Administration to keep at least two women Justices on the Court, if not three.
In Front, this is right in front. Six of Wands. The Conqueror's Triumph. This card is one of public acclaim. It is one of victory. It is a card of glory born of bold action. The laurel crown now hangs from the staff - no longer resting on the laurels, but wearing them, again.
The Outcome, the future: Eight of Cups. Continuation. The card shows the figure, still carrying the staff, moving on. The moon usually represents blockage, but the blockage has been broken and the old ways of doing things no longer work. The ideas that the Court has firmy held will begin to give way.
The Meaning
Unlike the President's tarot (through the end of the year) where swords predominated, the Court's tarot is one of wands and cups. The only pentacle that appears is the one having to do with concern about the harvest - meaning that the emotional capital is wasting away. And not one sword appears. This suggests that the battle won't be waged openly. but in a more gentle and subdued way, which will make it very effective.
The Higher Arcana cards do not appear, save for The Hanged Man. This is significant in that the Higher Arcana indicate more profound trends at work. My hunch is that this card represents the possibility that the Bush Court, even to his consternation, will be going away from the strict constructionist court. Less time will be spent reviewing what the founding fathers were thinking in 1789 (and after) and more time will be spent looking at what the words of the constitution mean to the Justices.
Before we get excited about this turning into another Warren Court, this probably won't happen - at least the cards aren't shouting that. What may happen is that Scalia my be counterbalanced in some way.
For some time, now, the Court has been somewhat narrow if not ideological. The Conservatives are feeling strong and with control of two branches of the government, the Bush legislative agenda may be rather vigorous. If we look back to the New Deal and Franklin D. Roosevelt, FDR, especially in the first term, Roosevelt's legislation sailed through Congress but faced a roadblock with the Court that said the legislation went too far and stepped on certain fundamental rights. New Deal programs were struck down to FDR's annoyance, prompting him to consider packing the Court- that is, increasing the number of Justices. That is not in the cards for Bush, but he may find that the Court will be less in his camp as the ideological legislation, especially over religion and privacy, if Congress goes too far, at least too far in the Court's view.
The Court may be sympathetic to conservatism, but at the same time they do not wish to be emasculated - as we saw with the Ace of Wands - and they are determined to be more than a perfunctory body.
Ironically, if the Congress and President put forth a wide range of conservative legislation, the Court may become the central branch of the next several years - even after Bush - as it determines which laws will be the law of the land and what legislation, for constitutional issues, they will in effect, veto.
Stay tuned!

Much has been said recently concerning faith-based organizations receiving federal financial aid in carrying out social services to needy people. Naturally, these services include food as one of the primary essential needs. Those expressing opposition use ''separation of church and state.'' Our Constitution does not call for elimination or disfranchisement of either, in fact, they must stand steadfast in support of each other. All of us must recall that the main thrust of the First Amendment or our Constitution assures us religious freedom without a state-controlled church. Those who argue for total separation of church and state have overstated the true meaning of the First Amendment.
Washington, Adams and Jefferson recognized that the success of our government will depend mostly on law and order as religion and morality. To be sure, these elements must be regarded as inseparable rather than being in opposition to each other.
Many churches fortunately already have building facilities that accommodate social needs, thereby eliminating exhaustive federal money for housing duplication.
Our nation must always be willing to help people help themselves. The place or time for such accomplishment is unimportant compared to getting the job done. Hunger causes people to act in many desperate ways unbecoming to a society such as the one we are privileged to enjoy. This proposed plan should be positive in the absence of governmental or faith-based coercions.

I suggest indian people: never ever make this type of movie like karzzz. it's a very boring and annoying movie.

I couldnt bear the movie for 2.5 hours. This is one of few worst movies I have seen in my life. Himesh should concentrate on his best rather than trying to put his hand everywhere. He knows that he is not good at acting, then I dont understand why doesnt he take some acting classes.
Director should have done the job in a better way. Since I always tried to compare with the old one I could bear the movie. Other wise its a waste of time to watch. Dont understand the reason for shooting the movie in Kenya and South Africa when everthing could have been done better locally.
Not even a single joke in the movie, no major dialogues, nor appreciating acting. Its a utter waste.

Classics are classics…. the first in the genre…. is no matter what.. the first…. if u want to make a remake of a classic… do it with the best u have at present…. else do not waste people's money and time making worthless shit. Rishi Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Tina Munim…. actors and actresses in their own right…. gave a very good performance. the 'REPLACEMENTS' in this movie are utter nonsense …. one out doing the other in the NONSENSE…. not including any newcomers…. they have no frame of reference… but please..in the age of remakes…. do not forget to do justice to the movie u r paying a tribute to

The U.S. and other developed nations are experiencing competitiveness in offering attractive higher educational degree programs to increase enrollment and graduation rates. Due to the rise of more private and online educational institutions, existing traditional class room teaching institutions are facing the impact of intensifying competition in recruitment and graduation. This created the so-called "Enterprise Systems Education" at large. Many strategies are designed and developed internally to attain competitiveness among this type of "Enterprise Systems Education". One should realize that managing their own operations by designing competitive degree programs and developing strategies internally to attain competitiveness are not adequate. However, they should consider adopting the systems concept of close collaboration and integration efforts with the industries which the commercial enterprises have deployed successfully for decades. This paper describes the use of Supply Chain Management (SCM) principles as an effective strategy to attain competitiveness for these so-called "Enterprise Systems Education" institutions.
Keyword: Enterprise Systems Education, Competitiveness, Supply Chain Management
The definition of "enterprise" can be defined as sharing a set of common goals by assemblage organizations. Current practices at the higher learning institution in U.S. are examples of enterprises. Higher learning institutions share the common goals working toward achieving competitiveness in increasing enrollment and improving graduation. Due to the arise of more private institutions and online degree programs offered, existing traditional class room teaching universities, public or private are...

I've spent tons of time trying to work with wire, but I always seem to end up with a mangled mess. So now that I've FINALLY made something that isn't... oh glee!!!
I've had the little rocks since grade six from some project and only now have I found a use for them. The little wire beads in the middle were made by wrapping wire around a crochet hook. Just thinking about it makes my fingers hurt!
There a few flaws in the bracelet but since it's my first finished project with wire, I'm happy.
So, here it is:

Mental Health First Aid, Older Adults, and Those with Later-Life Issues
Mental illness and aging can often be a double stigma. According to the National Council on Aging, there are more than 6 million Americans 85 and older. That number is expected to more than triple by the year 2050, when the youngest baby boomers turn 86. Older adults and care partners are less likely to identify a problem as a symptom of a mental health disorder. Furthermore, older adults have high rates of late onset mental health disorders (anxiety/depression) and low rates of identification and treatment. There is negative bi-directional impact between mental disorders and health conditions. Even "mild" mental illness symptoms can have catastrophic consequences in vulnerable older adults. ADULT Mental Health First Aid now offers a tailored supplement which builds upon the effectiveness of the standard Mental Health First Aid curriculum by focusing on older adults and the growing population.

Super-DRI™ Euro Nymph LineLevel-Taper Line for Euro-Style Nymphing
- Whether you're a hardened competition nut, or just want to find out what this style of nymphing is all about, this is the line for you.
- Our ultra low stretch core and 0.60 mm diameter combine to give you maximum feel and sensitivity, whilst keeping drag to an absolute minimum. Hi-Vis tip one end to keep you focused on the take and ultra fine welded loops.
- Taper: Level taper
- Core: 14lb Power Core
- Range: 0.60mm diameter only
- Coating: Super-DRI Ridged
All lines claim to be higher floating than any other, but in our recovery speed lab test against all other market leading brands, our Super-DRI fly lines had tip recovery speeds faster than any other line, proving that our fly lines have a lower Specific Gravity than any of our competitors in any comparable line size.
Over the years, we've all greased fly lines to help them float higher; now imagine a line that would give you incredible water repulsion without ever having to treat the line again. Super-DRI takes fly lines to the next level with a permanent compound of ultra water repulsive PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which due to new advances in Nano technology, its smaller particle size prevents water absorption into the coating.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (C2F4)n – The lowest coefficient of friction known to man, so the benefits to line speed and casting performance go without saying.
Power Core
Ridge Tech
Micro Loop
The ability to fuse Polyurethane post production led to the development of Micro Loops. Showing no visible signs of a step down, Micro loops blend into the main line giving smooth transition to your leader and protect your fly line from the effects of capillary action.
Climate Control
Airflo fly line Climate Control – Even though all our lines are made from the same base material, polyurethane, not all of our fly line coatings are the same. In fact, they come in a variety of grades or hardness's which determine how the line will perform in a variety of temperatures. We select coatings that best suit the environment in which they will be used, each having its own merits and optimum temperature range in which they perform best. To help establish which line you require, we have developed a temperature chart that highlights the working temperature range for each of our lines.

text: I was talking to some old IM buddies of mine about how far we have all come in the last few years and it got me thinking about how others started out. For me, I started at 16 creating websites for games I was interested in. At the time I had no idea you could even make money online but this led to me meeting a few people who showed me the basics. I kind of plodded along for a while, making incredibly bad websites, until I recconnected with an old friend who turned out to be making a constant £4000 a month by spamming google with crappy .info sites. This spurred a whole new way of thinking for me and kick started my work in IM. Now I am 24. I operate around 60 different websites across 8 different niches and have been making good money for the past few years. My friend, who originally introduced me to IM, is now no longer doing anything online due to Googles algo changes, meaning that I have been working solo for the past couple of years. For me, this is my biggest hurdle right now. I seem to work better when I am surrounded by like minded people. Regardless, this work led to me being head hunted for an affiliate manager posistion early this year, which has taken me around the world to attend conferences and meet others in the industry, all whilst allowing me to further my own work on the side. This, for me at least, feels like the start of something much greater. The networking opportunities alone has given me a whole new view of the industry and I hope that I continue to see success for many years to come. But enough about me. How did you guys start out? Do you ever feel like you were lucky enough to just fall into jobs related to the industry you love, like myself, or was it something you had to really work at? Have you always worked for yourself and if so, what was the motivation to do so?

Venice Cruise Terminals
Port of Venice
Also see: Venice for Cruisers (Index)
Venice is one of the busiest cruise ports in the Mediterranean, with nearly 500 ship departures and 700,000 cruise passengers per year. Technically, however, it isn't on the Mediterranean at all, or even on the sea; The city and its cruise-ship piers are inside the Venetian Lagoon, which is connected to the Adriatic Sea by a narrow entrance called the Porto di Lido.
The Terminal Venezia Passeggeri or Venice Cruise Terminal is located near the 4-km causeway that links the historic city with the mainland. It consists of two main areas: the Marittima basin, which can handle the largest ships that call in Venice, and the San Basilio pier, which is just around the corner in the Giudecca Canal.
If you're departing from Venice and haven't arranged transfers through the cruise line, you'll need to know where your ship is moored. You can obtain this information from the English-language ship and ferry schedules at the Terminal Venezia Passeggeri Web site. (See links on page 4.)
Once you've identified the basin where your ship will be berthed, see our Marittima or San Basilio page for information on how to reach the ship by free shuttle bus, by taxi, or by other means.
Please note:
If you're staying overnight in Venice before or after your cruise:
Hotel location is important in Venice, and you'll save time, money, and hassle by staying at a hotel that's convenient to your ship.
For advice on where to stay, browse our Venice Cruise Terminal Hotels article or--if you're in a hurry--see 8 Hotels Near Venice Cruise Ships.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention deals with optical crossbar switches, more specifically with structures similar to deformable mirror devices used as crossbar switches.
2. Background of the Invention
The demand for high-speed parallel computing has given rise to a need for high-speed reconfigurable switching networks to control the flow of information. Optical transmission provides the high speeds necessary to fully use the capabilities of a parallel processor. Reconfigurable switching networks can be achieved with programmable crossbar switching.
Crossbar switches allow any one of N inputs to be connected to any one of M outputs. This can be accomplished in many different ways, one of which is to use spatial light modulators, such as deformable mirror devices, to reflect the light from one path to another. The light enters one port and would, if unmodulated, travel out another port. If the deformable mirror device is deflected, the light is either reflected back along its input port or switched to yet another port as output.
The number of such switches that are connected together determines how many possible combinations of input to output connections can be made. This entails each switch with its necessary beam splitters and combiners, and with its spatial light modulator. The resultant network is somewhat unwieldy. Additionally, to fabricate such a network in a production setting is difficult and expensive.
Objects and advantages will be obvious, and will in part appear hereinafter and will be accomplished by the present invention which provides a structure for optical crossbar switching. The structure consists of a network of waveguides, with metal elements, to which a vertical metal structure is attached, suspended over the junctions in the waveguides. The junctions have gaps etched in them. Located in or under the waveguide structure is an electrode which, when electrically addressed, electrostatically attracts the metal element which is suspended on hinges. The metal element deflects on its hinges towards the electrode thereby lowering the vertical metal structure into the waveguide gap. The light in the waveguide can thereby be guided or split by the metal structures.
FIGS. 1a and 1b show a metal shutter structure.
FIG. 1c shows a crossing waveguide structure.
FIG. 2 shows two of the states of a crossing waveguide structure.
FIGS. 3a and 3b shows a variation of the crosspoint switch.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a switching network.
FIGS. 5a-5d shows a Y-branching switch.
FIG. 6 shows a one-to-four splitter.
FIG. 7 shows another example of a switching network.
Presently available deformable mirror devices offer an opportunity in crossbar switching that has not existed before. A deformable mirror device (DMD) that consists of a metal element suspended on one or more support posts over an air gap, at the bottom of which there is an electrode, can be used as a light switching device. The manufacturing process can be altered so the metal element, which deflects downwards towards the electrode, when the electrode is electrically addressed, can have a vertical structure attached to its underside. The result is a metal structure that can be raised and lowered quickly and easily to position the vertical shutter to allow or prevent the transmission of light.
One of these structures is shown in FIG. 1a. The metal element 2 is suspended on posts 8a and 8b over waveguide 6. The shutter structure 4 attached to the metal element is shown as hanging over the air gap 10. This embodiment of a deformable mirror device, where the metal element is supported by two posts, is called the torsion beam. Alternately, the shutter could be attached to a DMD that is supported on one side, the cantilever beam, or one that is supported on four sides, the flexure beam. All of these embodiments operate in the same manner.
In FIG. 1b, the operation of the shutter is demonstrated. In the torsion beam DMD, there are typically two addressing electrodes, which are normally located adjacent the air gap. Some possible locations of these electrodes are shown in positions 11a-11f. When one of the electrodes is addressed, the metal element tips towards that electrode, torquing around the beam formed by hinges 9a and 9b. This causes the metal shutter 4 to tip into the waveguide gap 10 and prevent the transmission of light. Alternately, the shutter could be manufactured to be in the gap in the unaddressed state, and when the electrode on the other side is addressed, and the metal element tips away from the gap, the shutter would be removed from the gap allowing the transmission of light. For explanation purposes, the shutter will be assumed to be out of the gap in the unaddressed, or OFF state.
An application of this structure in optical switching is shown in FIG. 1c. The crossing structure consists of two input ports, 12 and 16, a shutter gap 10, and two output ports 14 and 18. The angle 20 can be calculated for maximum power throughput, as can the thickness of shutter gap 10. In all of the following embodiments, only the shutter gap is discussed, but the understanding is that the gaps will be filled with devices as discussed above.
Two of the states of the crossing structure are shown in FIG. 2. In this figure, only two waveguides are shown. It is possible to have more than two. If light enters the structure through port 12, it propagates in the direction of the arrow 22. If the shutter gap 10 is in the unaddressed, "OFF", state, the light follows arrows 24 and 26 and exits the switching structure at port 14. This is the cross state. If the electrode under the shutter gap 10 is addressed, the shutter lowers and causes the light that was propagating in the direction of the arrow 22 to reflect off of the shutter in gap 10 and follow arrows 28 and 30 to exit the structure at port 18. This is the bar state.
FIGS. 3a and 3b show a variation of this crosspoint switching. In this embodiment, there is only one input port and two output ports. When the shutter gap 32 is open, the light enters the switch through port 34 and propagates in the direction of the arrow 36, continuing in the direction of the arrow 38 and exits port 40. This state is shown in FIG. 3a. In FIG 3b, the shutter gap 32 is blocked. When the light enters port 34, it reflects off of the shutter in gap 32 and is directed in the direction of the arrow 42 and exits the port 44. An alternative is to only partially lower the shutter, possibly by using less voltage on the addressing electrode, forming a variable ratio splitter, with the amount of power going to ports 40 and 44 dependent on how much of the beam is deflected by the shutter.
The structures from FIGS. 2, 3a and 3b can be connected together to form a switching network such as the four-by-four crossbar in FIG. 4. Here a combination of the two above structures is used. The structure consisting of port 46, shutter gap 54, and paths 47a and 49a is the one input port, two output port structure from FIGS. 3a and 3b. The structure consisting of paths 49a, 45a, 45b and 45c, with the shutter 43 is the crossing waveguide structure from FIG. 2. In this configuration, the light entering any of the ports 46, 48, 50 or 52 could exit any of the ports 58, 64, 70 or 72.
Many combinations of raised and lowered shutters can achieve this. For example, light entering port 46 could exit port 58 as follows. The light would be passed along path 47a if shutter gap 54 is open. The light would then travel from 47a to 47b to 47c. The shutter gap 53 is left open and the light travels in the direction of path 47c until it encounters shutter gap 56 which is blocked. The light is then directed along path 47d to paths 47e and 47f. The shutter gap 53b is left open and the light exits port 58.
Transmission of light from port 46 to port 64 could be accomplished similarly. In this instance, light entering port 46 would be guided along path 49a if shutter gap 54 is blocked. The light follows a straight line along the direction of path 49a until it reaches shutter gap 60, which is also blocked. The light is then guided in the direction of path 49b, and continues in that direction until it contacts shutter gap 62. Shutter gap 62, in the blocked mode, will deflect the light along path 49c and out port 64.
In the same manner as the transmission to port 64, light can be directed to port 70. In this instance, after the light is guided along path 49a, it passes shutter gap 60 which is now open, and is incident upon blocked shutter gap 66 which deflects the light along path 51a to blocked shutter gap 68 which deflects it along path 51b to port 70. Finally, to direct the light out the fourth port 72, blocked shutter gap 54 would deflect the light along path 49a. None of the shutters gaps will be blocked, which causes the light to exit directly out port 72.
An alternative one input, two output configuration is shown in FIGS. 5a-5d. In FIG. 5a, the basic structure is shown. Instead of one of the output ports being in line with the input port, both are offset along the axis of the input port by angle 20. This structure has two shutter gaps, which offer more options for light direction. In FIG. 5a, the light enters port 74 and propagates in the direction of arrow 76. If shutter gaps 78a and 78b are open, the light would split and travel in the direction of the arrows 80a and 80b, exiting out port 82 and 84 respectively. The ratio of light that exits either port can be controlled as discussed above, by varying voltage that caused the distance the shutter is lowered to be controlled.
In FIG. 5b, shutter gap 78a is blocked and shutter gap 78b is open. The light enters port 74, propagating in the direction of arrow 76 until it contacts the blocked shutter gap 78a. At that instant the light is then guided through open shutter gap 78b and along arrow 86 out port 84. Again the amount of light actually exiting could be controlled by the amount of blocking of shutter gap 78b. In FIG. 5c, the opposite shutter configuration is shown. Shutter gap 78a is open, and shutter gap 78b is blocked. In this case the light enters port 74 and would be directed along path 88 out port 82. Finally, if both shutter gaps are blocked, any light entering port 74 would be reflected and no light would exit either port 82 or 84.
In FIG. 6, two additional Y-structures have been connected to the output ports of another Y-structure. Light could then either be completely directed out of one of the four ports, or split among the four ports forming a 1-to-4 beam splitter. Light entering port 74 could split through shutter gaps 78a and 78b and travel along the two paths 79a and 81a to paths 79b and 81b respectively. If both shutter gaps 90a and 90b are open on the upper path 79b, the light would again be split and exit along paths 79c and 79d out ports 94 and 96. If both shutter gaps 92a and 92b are open on the lower path 81b, the light would again split and travel along paths 81c and 81d and exit ports 98 and 100 also. Additionally, the light could be directed completely out any of the ports, or split between any two or any three ports with the proper selection of shutters to be lowered.
In FIG. 7, the Y-structure from FIGS. 5a-5d has been connected in a network with the crossing structure from FIG. 2. Again, by the proper selection of shutter in one of many possible combinations, the light entering any one of the ports 102, 104, 106, or 108, can be directed out any port 116, 122, 128 or 132. Additionally, the light could be split among any two or three, or among all four ports. For example, light entering port 102 could be guided along path 109a by the selection of shutter gap 110a for blocking, leaving shutter gap 110b in open. The light would then propagate in the same direction as path 109a until it contacted the next blocked shutter gap 112, which would cause the light to travel along path 109b. The light would stay in the direction 109b until it was incident upon blocked shutter gap 114a which is lowered and travel through open shutter gap 114b out port 116.
Similarly, the light could be directed out port 122, if the initial part of the above discussion were followed until shutter gap 112. Shutter gap 112 would be opened to allow the light to continue in the direction of path 109a until it contacted blocked shutter gap 124 which directs the light along path 111. The light would then travel up to blocked shutter gap 120a, deflecting it through opened shutter gap 120b out port 122. To direct the light out port 128, the shutter gap 118 would be left open and shutter gap 124 would be selected. This would direct the light along path 113 to blocked shutter gap 126a, through opened shutter gap 126b and out port 128. Finally, the light could be directed out port 132 by leaving all of the shutter gaps between shutter gap 110a and 130b in the open position. By blocking shutter gap 130b, the light would be directed out port 132. Again, it is possible to direct the light along many different paths to achieve the same effects, but the above discussion is intended to demonstrate the adaptability of the network. Additionally, the gaps could be positioned directly accrosee the incoming waveguide ports to allow individual control of every port.
The advantages of these type of devices are numerous. As discussed above, they allow for many different possibilities in light direction. They are manufactured monolithically. The electrodes are formed on the substrate in predetermined positions. The waveguide sheaths and core are then formed over the electrodes. A layer of organic spacer is then coated on top of the waveguide structure and patterned. The metal to form the metal elements, hinges, and shutters is then deposited, patterned and etched. Finally, the organic spacer is removed to allow the metal elements freedom of movement. The resultant structure has the metal shutters positioned over gaps formed in the waveguides, with an electrode underneath the metal element to allow it to be addressed.
Due to the way these are manufactured, they are less expensive, smaller and faster than previous optical switches. The switching time to deflect the mirrors is approximately 10 μsec. This makes the time for reconfiguring extremely short. Also, the relative ease of manufacture leads to a high yield rate and less resources are wasted.
Thus, although there has been described to this point a particular embodiment for a switching device, it is not intended that such specific references be considered as limitations upon the scope of this invention except in-so-far as set forth in the following claims.

Warwick Build Guide by Necrosis IV
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Warwick Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
When i started playing league of legends, the very first week, warwick was on the free champ rotation. I couldn't resist to his awsome might, so he was my first champ i would ever purchace.. Later as i reached 30 level, i found out (the hard way) that warwick was not good as a melee dps as it was in low level games... great disapointment... Really loving this champ, i tried to find the best way to play him. so,
i present to you, Tankwick
For runes i take flat armor and magic resist, nothing much to be said here.
For masteries i go for the 9/21/0, you gonna need the 15% magic penetration for the hungering strike and all the defence you can get. Also archmage's savvy and ardor is a good little boost for hungering strike that may come handy.
Skill sequence
You will try max out first hungering strike. It is a great spell to harass enemies and be able to survive in battles and hold a lane for much longer. Then you will go for the Hunters Call. Don't thing that you gonna use it for dps on enemy champs, and because you gonna play warwick as tank it wont be needed, so better switch to Blood Scent so you can chase. Hunters Call has a three roles to play in every game:
a) it is the perfect tower distroyer and dragon/baron killer. you will significally boost your teams attack speed. Taking a tower, dragon or baron down will be way faster.
b) it is a great advantage in every team fight for your ad's
c) if you get way too harassed in a lane, making Hungering Strike not enough to recover health, farming with Hunters Call the creeps will restore your health faster due to your awsome passive.
Summoner Spells
I personally take Ghost and Flash, but other great spells would be cleanse (for countering the cc), ignite (too boost your ulti or prevent a target being healed - such as swain).
if you are confident enough you would go for fortify (in addition to your ulti while enemys turret dive it can be devastating), teleport (for assisting other lanes quickly).
Do not take heal, revive, rally.. you wont need it, and heal probably gonna screw you up.
You start with the typical Doran's ring, for hp, mp/5, and ap (that is a nice early boost for your Hungering Strike). You will continue with the Mercury's threads then you get Spirit visage, it has everything you need: healing amplification, cooldown reduction, magic resistance and health and then you continue with sunfire cape. this is your core build, you have CC reduction, health, armor, cool down reduction, magic resistance and AOE damage that is a MUST in warwick where he has not a single aoe skill to help him gather assist, therefore gold.
The next items are situational items. If you feel confident and your AP carry is doing good, you will go for an abyssal scepter to boost your Hungering strike in AP and magic penetration, boost your AP carry, and give you more magic resistance.
Guardian angel is a good addition if you get to be the enemies' focus (though that is not much likely to happen often) and banshees veil for some extra health, mana and magic res.
In other tough situations a better choice would be a Force of nature and a Thornmail.
Your goal is to go for a solo lane and you try to last hit (so far so good).
about harassing:
if the enemy champ do not seems too harass you alot, you will use Hungering strike with ease but you should reserve mana for ulti.
if the enemie harass you, you must try and land hungering strike after his skills (vice versa you will have hp lost and hunger strike's heal will be thrown away)
in both situations when his health reach bellow 50% you will able to move faster (due to blood scent), landing Hunger strike much easier.
Preparing the kill
As i mentioned above, you try and harass with your Hungering strike. The best you can do is always keep the enemy bellow 50% for mobily. As soon as your jungler comes for gank, you try and land one last Hunger strike and immediatly after that you use your ulti, enabling your jungler too do as much damage as possible. if the enemy do not die, he will sure flash out. If you are sure that one Hungering strike is what is needed for the kill, you reach, flash in, immediatly use Hunger strike and you leave. If the damage from you and your jungler was not enough, you let the enemy escape (unfortunatelly).
Another scenario is that you have to be against 2 enemies in the lane. it is the same. you harass with Hungering strike. you will focus on the target that is more squishy than the other. there are times that you will be able to kill them both after a good harassment session and times that you will strive to hold your lane.
Team Work
Your role in the team is initiating team fights and saving teammates. in every team fight you get in the front so you will get targeted A LOT. with good resistances the hp lost could be easily recovered with a Hungering strike.
now, there are thre possible scenarios:
you are chasing the enemy team who is retreating after some harassment from your teammates. Your work there is to chase and ulti at their loose end (but not their tank). you get 1 easy kill, and enemies will (in most of the cases) retreat.
you are starting a team fight. soon someone else will be focused (mainly a carry). you will ulti on the player who is dealing the most damage in order to save your carry and give your team an easy kill. If their carry is not targeted first and you have the time window, you ulti on their main dpser and take him down immediatly.
someone is chased by an enemy. You try to reach and ulti immediatly at the enemy and after that you land a Hungering strike. in most cases the enemy will retreat.
Some examples
my last games, and this is a really special image. If you have study some software development you probably know that number will be:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
see my damage taken? this number is the maximum value that a short int variable can get. i had taken AT LEAST 65535 damage, in a game and i had 6 deaths. there is not any other tank i had tried that took about 19 times his MAXIMUM life with those items as damage, and still had only 6 deaths!
Playing warwick as a tank it is a bit tricky to learn, but fearsome when mastered. everything has to do with timing. to know when you must land Hunger strike, when you are clear to engage, when to engage to kill or to save. But in the end it takes practise, effort and a good knowledge of the champion.
Last words
This is the first guide i have ever wrote and im not very familiar to make the guide a little bit more flashy with item icons etc etc, but i may do it in the future. What matters to me now is to give a good guide and only this. The only reason this was written, was purely for love of this champion.
I play him since level 1 and i will not stop playing him.
P.S. im in the EUwest, if you want anything to tell me, pm me there!
hope you enjoyed else, "it is only fun if YOU run"...

Drivers also face limits of 20mph on residential roads and near schools, in proposals for ten-year safety targets set to be published on Tuesday.
The default speed limit on single carriageway roads is likely to be reduced from 60mph to 50mph, with councils obliged to give good reasons for retaining the higher limit.
Maps identifying the location of all the accident black spots in Britain will also be published as part of the initiative to save 10,000 lives over the next decade.
The maps will show the site of a death or serious injury on the road, and may also include information on whether the victim was a driver, passenger or pedestrian, as well as the type of vehicle involved.
Ministers hope that the maps will encourage residents to lobby local councillors to introduce the reduced speed limits and other road safety measures in problem areas.
The Government's aim is to cut the number of deaths on Britain's roads by a third, from the current rate of just under 3,000 a year.
An insider said: "We have already seen a very successful drive to cut the number of deaths on the roads. In the last decade, levels have fallen by a third.
"We see no reason why, if this consultation is successful, we can not see a further fall to 2,000 or even less."
Research shows that pedestrians hit by a vehicle at 20 mph have a far greater prospect of survival than those involved in collisions at 30 mph.

RocketNinjaFish | 12
it's never easy to give up a pet. many people love their pets. I'm sure you can understand that, OP.
alliewillie | 22
I wouldn't give up a beloved pet just because someone who doesn't live with me is allergic. They could take allergy meds before arriving or we could meet or I could come that way. Doesn't sound like op is home all that often, why would you toss out a pet for a weekend a month of visiting?
pattipan | 7
Yes. I would not hestitate to unload an animal for my son, even if he only lived with me part time. This is the choice that is on the table; spend a short amount of time with the child in the nuclear household or spend all the time with an animal that makes said child ill, yes? My choice is to have the opportunity to spend time with my child. If that means "Thumper" has to hit the road, then so be it. I didn't push Thumper out of my vagina; therefore, Thumper is expendable. And, just a reminder, the rabbit will only live a couple of years but your child will likely outlive you and could be picking out your nursing home. Just the person you want to care for you in your old age; someone you blew off for a bunny who croaked after 2 years and whom you might not even remember by then. Pets come and go; children are forever.

It's ok, OP. I'm sure that your bunny wants you to come home more often. Bunny's opinion trumps Mom's opinion. Always. Because rabbits are just that awesome, bro.

Mmhm, I'm like a mother-fuckin' wordsmith over here.
They're in university. Given the choice of sleeping in my own bed or crashing some place else on my breaks i would choose my own bed in my own room 9 times out of 10.

She could have been more nice, she could have had a friend take take care of it while you're gone.. It's not that hard I guess, or what about medications? Sorry to hear that your mom is like that though, that kind of shows how your mother is.. At least you know her standpoint when concerning you :) Fyl, have a nice day ^^
By supervacaneous | 4
She made a commitment when buying the bunny. It's not the same as a shirt that you can just return if it's inconvenient later. It's not like you live at home and you're permanently there. You're just visiting. You expect your mom to live around your needs when you're not even with her? That's pretty selfish.
She made a commitment when getting a kid too you know.. Parents have a responsibility for a long time. So OP is not selfish.. Sorry if I'm sounding harsh.
supervacaneous | 4
Having a child does not mean the mother needs to put the kid's needs before hers for the rest of her life. The kid's a college student. The commitment is really for the first 18 years, and a loving attachment after. Sure I always expect my mom to be there for me, but waiting until she's finally off to college to do something for herself seems like a really long time. If she was a good daughter, she would put up with it to make her happy, for everything she's done for her. Of course, these are all assumptions based on the very little info we have. We can argue either way yada-yada.
Put up with being severely allergic? Sorry me but, it's not that easy, and can have some fatal consequences in worst case. Commitment for only the first 18 years? A child always needs the support of a mother/father mostly, always something to go back to if everything goes to hell with life. Her mother could have a pet sitter take care of the bunny while OP is home, or a friend do it. And "severely" are most likely serious case. Are you allergic to something at all? Don't take it lightly. A mom have more responsibility for her own kid than a pet bunny.
supervacaneous | 4
If it was actually life-threatening, this wouldn't be an issue. Keeping the house clean, making sure no saliva / urine / fur gets in the way / keeping the rabbit far away from her for the (potentially) very short time she's actually there may be all that's needed. An animal's life is special. A pet is part of the family, and it's important that the rabbit gets a chance, especially since the kid's away at university.
thats_my_job | 11
I agree with 26 and also believe kids come first. If the allergy wasn't bad they wouldn't have gone to the doctor. I bet if the mom was the one who was allergic she'd figure something out. It sounds like OP doesn't live there full time so why not get a bunnysitter or have an outdoor cage as suggested. Sounds like the mom isn't open to any of those suggestions though.
MissHayleyJames | 7
I totally agree with Superv. Once you get a pet, you keep it for life unless they're trying to maim and kill you. I hate when people think pets are just some disposable accessory to get rid of when they feel like it. My husband is severely allergic to cats and my mom has her cat, and the cat I had as a kid. We don't expect her to get rid of her cats when we go visit. She just vacuums and he pops a Zyrtec and takes his inhaler. We thought for awhile he was allergic to my dogs so we just kept the dogs in a different part of the house because fuck no am I giving up my dogs. We also just adopted a 7 year old, three legged, mutt with cancer who's incontinent. Most people would have dumped her back with the shelter when they found out about the cancer, but we take getting a pet as a serious commitment so she's going in for a $1600 surgery next week to remove the tumor. Sorry for the long post. It just pisses me off the way people see pets.
By DuffleBagHero | 4
Well you can't cry about it now, if your mom's really serious about not getting rid of it you can either : A) kill the bunny "on accident. Or B) get an apartment. There is always the option of ruining mom's life too.
Wow you're kinda a terrible person, eh?

Linda Silverstone
Linda Silverstone trained in England to be a fitness teacher and taught classes for 12 years in a little studio in her basement. At one time she had 40 women coming through her house in a week, with 12 different nationalities! "I suppose you could call me the poor mans Jane Fonda at that time" says Linda.
In 1983 Linda came to Israel from Manchester, UK 30. For many years she wrote articles for ESRAmagazine, "being sent me on assignments by editor Merle Guttmann, one of the best being my interview with an ex Mr Universe!", says Linda.
Linda had three children. When her eldest daughter, Maxine in the UK, who was married and had a little boy, was diagnosed with Leukemia in 1994, Linda returned to England. After Maxine died in 1996. Linda remained in England helping with her grandson and her elderly parents. Linda returned to Israel in 2005 "the country that I had given my heart to".
An amateur actor, in 2013 she played in Calendar Girls – it was the first time in 22 years since she had acted with the Sharon Players and TACT. She hopes that other parts may come her way, having had a taste of being on the stage once again!
She also loves to paint and write. For the past few years she has been trying to finish a book, and this is the year that "I will do it", she says. She acts as a counsellor with the ESRA Bereavement and Loss Counselling group, as well as being a very hands on grandmother. She attends the Avshalom Institute and loves the full day trips exploring the country side, climbing mountains and wadis and admiring the beauty around us.

text: Hi all, I have just purchased a genuine SLine spoiler in primer direct from Audi. My car is ebony; LZ9W, which is a metallic? I am competent to spray the spoiler myself (get to try out my brand new compressor!), but what paint do I need to spray it with. I am formerly used to spraying cellulose having restored a classic mini, and the most recent thing I have sprayed is a Z3 using water-based. I am assuming my Audi uses a water based paint / two pack and a lacquer/clearcoat? Also, I am cutting the lugs off the spoilers; do they need to be taken right down to the base? Cheers, Lund

South Yorkshire Police said a series of collisions happened on the M1 northbound near Sheffield at about 12.30am.
A force spokeswoman said four children in a Seat Alhambra were taken to hospital along with an adult from the same vehicle.
The drivers of two other cars - a BMW and a Seat Leon - were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The spokeswoman said none of those hurt are thought to be in a life threatening condition although an 11-year-old boy taken to Rotherham District General Hospital had suffered serious head injuries.
The others injured in the incident have been taken to either the same hospital, Sheffield's Northern General or the Sheffield Children's Hospital.
The M1 was closed between junction 33 at Catcliffe and junction 34 at Meadowhall, the Tinsley Viaduct section which takes the motorway over the Lower Don Valley.
