This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/256,817 filed Dec. 19, 2000 with the same title.
The present invention relates to a system and method for managing technical product requirements for product research and development.
Product design and development is a complex process which encompasses a wide variety of tasks that may require from several days to several years. Product development may span from identifying a need for a product to designing, testing, and obtaining approvals from governmental and/or regulatory authorities, to the manufacturing, promoting, and selling of the product. One of the most important steps in the product development process is to communicate product, package, material, and process design requirements to the internal and/or external supply chain for implementation. The use of computers to organize information and communicate with various departments within and among organizations has provided some improvement in the efficiency of the product development process. However, wide-spread implementation of integrated software-based tools has yet to be utilized, particularly within government regulated industries which require validation.
Communication of various information, such as product specifications, packaging, material and process design requirements, is often done by various groups or departments within an organization, at various times during the development, with the hope and intent that the final product elements converge flawlessly. Historically, this information has been specified in various text documents sometimes referred to as technical standards. To fully capture the technical, regulatory, safety, and various other design requirements for a given product may require between five and fifteen different documents, for example, depending upon the particular business and industry.
A number of systems have been developed to manage technical data within a supply chain environment. These systems are often used for planning, procurement, manufacture, and inventory management. While these systems may be useful in a production environment, they do not typically provide the flexibility required for use in a product development environment. Nor do they adequately integrate with product development and other enterprise systems to share information without data re-entry.
Various product design management (PDM) systems have been used to describe product elements. However, these systems tend to be useful in a narrow product field or development function, and too complex for users other than full time designers. Furthermore, these systems do not combine or manage the product, package, material, testing, regulatory, safety, and other information into a single tool. As such, these systems are unsuitable for use in a broad global enterprise having multiple diverse businesses.
Work process systems have been developed to aid with scheduling the product development process. However, these systems generally focus on project milestones, not on the actual technical content of product, package, process, and material requirements. Likewise, a number of supply chain enterprise management tools are available but are not suitable for use in the product development environment in that they are too inflexible and user unfriendly.
Existing systems which use computers to electronically manage product development information (such as technical standards) are simply filing systems for electronic versions of text documents. One problem with text-based systems is that data entered in these systems must be re-entered in other systems numerous times during the product development process and supply chain implementation. Differences in technical content and in data standards ensures such data rework will occur. Identical or related data may be entered for experimental work, consumer test clearance, plant test planning, safety assessment, material test documentation, production technical standards, supplier analysis certificates, environmental constituent tracking, and the like. Cross-checking of various elements of a completed product to ensure overall consistency and quality is therefore difficult. It is desirable to provide system checks across products, packages, materials, and test methods to ensure each is suited for a particular geographic area in terms of regulatory, safety, and legal requirements, for example.
In a large enterprise, global alignment of content and usage for text-based systems is difficult or impossible. Such alignment is important to avoid redundant data entry wherever work crosses organization or geographic boundaries. For example, different businesses and geographic regions may assign different responsibilities for the creation, approval, and use of technical standard type data. As such, content managed by one group as part of a package might be managed by another group as part of a product or a process. Alternatively, one business may complete certain tasks in product development while another business may delegate those tasks to the supply chain, for example.
An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for managing technical data created and approved during product development for communication to a supply chain.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for capturing product, package, material, process, country clearance, and supplier approval data in structured form as output of the development process and input to the supply chain.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for product development management which support electronic review and approval of data for change control.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a product development management system and method capable of use across various businesses and geographic regions throughout a diverse enterprise to improve economies of scale in product and package design and material procurement.
Yet another object of the present invention is to accommodate various organization designs and work processes throughout an enterprise by enabling approval of data at various stages of completion and provide approvals conditioned on prior and/or subsequent approvals and data.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for managing product development which reduces redundant data entry by interfacing with various systems to communicate draft and approved data and grouping data for similar products or packages to facilitate user change management.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a software tool that is fully validated to satisfy global regulatory requirements, for example, good manufacturing practices.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide effective security management through role-based data access and electronic signatures.
In carrying out the above objects and other objects, advantages, and features of the invention a system and method for managing product development include a relational database containing draft, approved, and archived versions of product, package, materials, process, and artwork technical data for use by product development personnel in providing a structured set of data output for use in a supply chain. In one embodiment, the relational database includes objects having data to describe design requirements of a finished product component such as a formula, material, package, artwork, and the like. Text documents may be linked to the relational data structure by reference to provide design requirements not amenable to a structured data format, such as test methods, process instructions, and the like. The system and method provide for electronic communication and electronic approval of data subsets while tracking changes and archiving previous versions for subsequent access or reference. System validation and ongoing change control provide necessary support for products in regulated industries.
In one implementation of the present invention, a system and method for managing product development include storing technical requirements data for a product including product data, material data, and packaging data in a structured relational database. Unstructured documents, such as text-based documents describing processes or testing methods and artwork for product packaging are linked to the technical requirements data within the structured relational database. The system and method then group technical requirements data into technical requirements summaries to define a finished product and link the technical requirements summaries for the finished product to facilitate user navigation among related technical requirements summaries. Changes made to the technical requirements data are stored in the relational database along with associated user security clearance information and approval information for the technical requirements data. The approved technical requirements data may then be electronically communicated for use in internal and/or external manufacturing and distribution of the finished product.
The present invention provides a number of advantages. For example, the present invention provides a flexible approach to management of product development data which may be used across diverse businesses and geographic regions using a structured data approach of master and individual level data to align content and reduce redundant data entry. Structured product development data facilitates cross-checking of various elements of a completed product to ensure overall quality. Unstructured documents linked by reference allow full integration of product and package development data. Use of the present invention across many businesses and geographic regions may provide economies of scale in product and package design and in material procurement. Electronic communication and approval of data using electronic signatures can be validated to meet global regulatory requirements and improves efficiency of the product development process.
The above advantages and other advantages, objects, and features of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that some products are specified more by a product design than a formula. One example of a product using a classical formula would be a shampoo. A product which really has more of a product design would be a water filter, or even a diaper, for example. As such, the base formula, formula card, and similar objects may also be used to describe product designs for applicable products.
Raw materials specifications 114 preferably include master-level and individual-level specifications which provide data relative to raw materials 106 and constituents 108. Reference documents 116 provide additional data relative to process methods, testing methods, instructions, current best approaches (CBAs), drawings, and the like associated with the product 100 and packaging 102. Likewise, technical requirements summaries for the product formula card 104 include links or references to related documents 118. As such, technical requirements data for a finished product, represented by reference numeral 100, include product raw material specifications 114 and associated reference documents 116 which may include structured data, unstructured documents linked by reference, and unstructured documents with associated structured attributes, in addition to a formula card 104 and related documents 118.
Technical requirements data for the finished product associated with packaging as represented by reference numeral 102 are preferably separated or divided into a consumer unit or level 120, a customer unit or level 122, and a transport unit or level 124. These units or levels are summarized in packing standards 126 which may include various master-level and individual-level standards. Depending upon the particular application, each master may have one or more than one individual standard associated with it. In addition, each master and individual standard can have one or more than one version which may also function as an audit trail for change control. Packing standards 126 may also be associated with related unstructured packaging documents 118.
Technical requirements data associated with the packaging materials is summarized in package material specifications 128 which may include master and individual level specifications as described with reference to the raw material specifications 114 and packing standards 126. Package material specifications 128 may be linked to associated packaging material reference documents 116. Package material specifications 128 include technical requirements data relative to constituents 130 used in packaging materials 132 associated with the consumer unit 120, customer unit 122, and transport unit 124. As explained in greater detail below, consumer unit 120 represents the product packaging seen by the end-user or consumer. Customer unit packaging corresponds to the packaging used to group a number of consumer units for delivery to a retailer, such as a case, for example. Transport unit packaging materials correspond to those materials used in grouping customer units from the manufacturer to a wholesaler, for example.
As such, the packaging data 102 is summarized in the package material specifications 128 and related reference documents 116 in addition to the packing standards 126 and related reference documents 118.

Likewise, constituents 164 associated with one or more raw materials 160 may be obtained from a supplier indicated by the approved supplier list 162.
Depending upon the particular application, formula card 154 may be approved for use or sale in one or more countries as represented by the associated countries of sale list 166. Formula card 154 may have one or more associated package assemblies 168 as specified in drawings 170. Package assemblies 168 specify related package materials 172 which are linked to related structured and unstructured data. In this embodiment, unstructured documents may be used to specify test methods 174 and artwork 176, for example. Package material 172 may include links to various structured data such as environmental constituents 180 contained within the package materials 172 along with the approved suppliers 178 associated with the package materials 172 and/or environmental constituents 180.

System 190 includes a product development database 200 for storing technical standards and related documentation during various stages of product development and manufacture. Preferably, development database 200 is a relational database which includes structured data in addition to references to unstructured documents. System 190 preferably includes a rendition module 202 in communication with development database 200 for rendering an approved technical standard unchangeable. Rendition module 202 may be implemented as a server capable of converting approved draft technical standards into a platform independent format such as the portable document format (PDF), for example. System 190 may also include an interface module 204 in communication with development database 200. Interface module 204 may be used to electronically exchange information used during product development. For example, interface module 204 may be used to circulate draft technical standards to associated reviewers to obtain electronic approvals. In one embodiment, interface module 204 is implemented as a collaborative web interface server.
System 190 preferably includes a reference database 206 for storing approved technical standards. An integration module 208 in communication with reference database 206 and development database 200 copies approved technical documents from development database 200 to reference database 206. System 190 may also include an assistance module 210 accessible via communication medium 194 to provide users 192 with automated help and on-line tutorials, for example.
As will be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art, system 190 may have various configurations and implementations other than those shown and described. For example, reference database 206 and development database 200 may be combined into a single relational database. Either or both of reference databases 206 and development database 200 may also be distributed among one or more servers and/or locations. Likewise, some or all of rendition module 202, interface module 204, and assistance module 210 may execute on the same computer, closely integrated computers, computers connected through a local area network, or widely dispersed computers. Similarly, modules may be distributed across multiple computers which may be co-located or geographically diverse.

As such, the present invention provides a flexible approach to management of product development data. The structured data approach, which accommodates unstructured documents linked by reference, may be used across diverse businesses and geographic regions. Use of master and individual level data allows alignment of content to reduce redundant data entry. In addition, division of data into several levels facilitates electronic review and approval of common and individual requirements or specifications for particular products or groups of products. The structured data approach facilitates cross-checking of various elements of a particular product to ensure overall quality. In addition, data may be grouped into a virtual customized document which can be viewed on a screen or printed by a user to accommodate a variety of user needs. This is particularly useful for those who are less comfortable with computer-related technology. The various data summarized and technical requirements standards is linked by reference to provide complete integration of product and package development data. Electronic searchability, communication, and approval of data may improve efficiency of the product development process, particularly for consumer goods.

National Indoor Arena, Birmingham
There's a reason why Radiohead toured the land in a big top tent, why the Cure favoured French amphitheatres, why Pink Floyd rocked Pompeii. Arenas are awful places to attempt any kind of epiphany. Birmingham's National Indoor Arena is where they hold Cruft's. It smells faintly of chip fat.
It's a cruel calculus that governs success, taking a band like Coldplay, whose music is up close and personal, and plonking them down so far away that they become Lilliputian cyphers. And yet here we all are, thousands of souls in this ill-defined sports venue-cum-exhibition hall purgatory, because Coldplay are now - officially - huge. Their debut album, Parachutes, sold hugely - eight million worldwide and counting. Their career-defining new album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, went in at Number 1 and will top many end-of-year polls as the most important record to be released this year. It is. They play a great, glorious deal of it and the peaks - 'The Scientist', 'In My Place' - are embraced as ecstatically as 'Trouble' or 'Yellow'.
With the steady gaze of hindsight, Coldplay's trade-up to the major league seems inevitable. Simple, emotive songs. Big, billowing melodies. Charming singer. Piano rock. How could Coldplay fail?
What makes Coldplay remarkable is that, really, their cheery galumphing on to the stage in this arena tonight was not especially foretold. In a fit of creative confusion, Coldplay scrapped at least half-a-dozen songs when they started writing A Rush of Blood. Chris Martin, until very recently, has been racked by insecurity. They were pelted with missiles at one American radio festival about 18 months ago.
What makes this band so compelling, too, is that tonight, Coldplay - and Chris Martin in particular - are acutely aware of the vast space they need to fill, without dancers or fireworks, just a few small video screens. Chris cracks jokes about being like Westlife and Slade now, and singles out the gaggle of humanity at the very back of the venue for thanks, keen to reassure the NIA that this is a far weirder experience for the band than it is for them. And what makes Coldplay truly superb is the mastery and warmth and verve with which they saturate this vacuum with meaning.
So what if 'Politik', Coldplay's attempt to come to grips with a mad, bad world, is a little vague lyrically? It's a momentous opener, with Martin bucking and kicking at the piano at the centre of the stage, booting his demons in the head. There's no question of hesitation, of lily-liveredness: it's a wallop straight to the solar plexus of their every detractor. The love songs are no less wondrous. 'The Scientist' - Coldplay's next single - wrestles with the quantification of love, its end and its beginning, in the form of a loping piano and acoustic rock ballad. Martin's voice flutters and groans effortlessly, never faltering. For all the skill and gravitas with which Will Champion, Guy Berryman and Jonny Buckland play, it's Chris Martin's effusive, gangling presence that defines Coldplay live.
His old self-deprecation has turned into something slightly different - a kind of goofy defiance. 'We have to go backstage at the end of this song and see some prostitutes because that's the kind of band we are,' says Martin, as a tumultuous rendition of 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' fires up. 'Actually, we're going to practise being nice and cutting our hair,' he quips. You get the impression of a band still piqued by Oasis Svengali Alan McGee's jibe that Coldplay were 'music for bedwetters'. By the end of this tour, its sting will be a distant half-memory.
Niceness isn't the point of Coldplay: it never was, although the fact that they're intelligent, thoughtful men who've invited Oxfam along to inform their fans of fair trade is undeniably appealing. Their appeal is more profound than that. In Chris Martin, they have an emotional lightning rod, a conduit for a skyful of hurt, confusion, yearning, fear and gladness.
The electricity generated by tonight's singalong of 'Yellow' could light an entire suburb. 'We're big enough to let you sing this one,' Martin tells the baying crowd, alluding not to his band's pulling power, rather the peace they've finally made with their own enormous success.

The Yes Way and RethinkPopMusic Take Small Steps Together
A repost from We All Make Music
The Yes Way, and RPM. Photo by Tory Williams
The Brooklyn-based quartet The Yes Way spent August gigging like crazy. During the hottest, slowest 30 days of the year, they were on a month-long tour that took them from Maine to Wisconsin to Hoboken, opening for OK Go one night, playing at music festivals the next, putting itself in front of different crowds almost every night.
Impressive stuff, to be sure, considering that the band doesn't have a single release available – they recently took an older, self-released EP, Who's Better Than You, offline, and only a handful of the band's demos are available as streams. But when you add in the fact that the band isn't even signed to a record label, things start to get confusing.
How are these guys doing this? Who are they? What is going on?
A hefty part of the answer is musical, of course. Three of the group's four members studied music in college, and their accomplished indie rock's received positive write-ups everywhere from The Culture of Me to The Deli, which nominated named them as a possible Band of the Month while they were on tour.
But equally significant is the work of RethinkPopMusic, a bold new venture that offers all the services record labels used to provide, from marketing and publicity to booking, recording and legal assistance.
The one key difference? RPM doesn't sell its artists' records. It doesn't own its artists' recordings. It doesn't own its artists' publishing rights. It has no say whatsoever in its artists' creative processes.
Instead, RPM offers its artists career guidance. "I think that our band, and numerous other bands haven't had the right heads on their shoulders to put a strategy into place," says Aaron Mendelsohn, the band's guitarist and lead singer. "It's really nice to have something like RPM on our sides, because we can trust that they'll help us come up with the right strategy, and it makes us feel like we're in a good position right now."
Speaking of strategy, now might be a good time to address the nuts and bolts answers to those questions.
Several months prior to their tour, RPM founder Bob Berman was introduced to a comparably established band, Hollis Brown, and immediately decided to do a co-billed show at the Mercury Lounge. Both bands had good local followings, and so the show drew over 200 people. It also made the band and RPM over $600, all of which they immediately turned around and invested in August's tour.
Thanks to previous gigs, the band had dependable draws in Philadelphia, and Hollis Brown knew they could draw in Boston. But they decided to go bigger. They tapped RPM operatives in Chicago to help get the word out in the Midwest, they swapped gigs with similar-sized, similar-sounding bands in markets they were new to (Milwaukee, e.g.). And at the end of it all, despite driving close to 4,000 miles over the course of a month, the band broke even on everything.
Not bad for a month's worth of valuable exposure.
When the Yes Way formed a couple of years ago, they were clueless about most of the non-musical aspects of their careers. They gigged around in Manhattan and Brooklyn, they made some friends, they recorded an EP because they figured they ought to. "Before we met up with RPM," recalls Nick Burleigh, who plays keys, violin, bass, and guitar in the band, "we didn't really even know how to record an EP properly. We didn't know how to get a tour together. We didn't know how to get exposure.
"I think we're learning about how to go about those things."
In under a year at RPM, the Yes Way's learned quite a bit about the intermediate steps bands need to take to get to milestones like releasing albums and going on tours. It's one of the reasons the band is on tour, and why their demos have remained demos. Though the Yes Way's music displays promise – their songs "Mets and "Where Was I" are tightly threaded with '90s influences like Pablo Honey-era Radiohead and Gentlemen-era Afghan Whigs – both the band and their partners at RPM realize that further refinement is needed.
Berman knew that it was important to achieve that refinement organically. He also knew that further gigging would help the band sharpen its sound. "The guys are figuring out what they want to do with everything," Berman explains. The tour, he explained, is "a warm-up. They're stretching before the big game."
Budgets for this kind of artist development are disappearing, but Berman and company are able to offer it by doing everything smarter: touring with friends, recording with friends, promoting with friends. "It's all about the collaboration," Mendelsohn says.
"There is power in numbers," adds Berman. "If everybody gets together, it is possible to change the industry."
When the Yes Way got back to Brooklyn in early September, they discovered that they'd actually won The Deli's Band of the Month honor, which earned them three free hours of studio time at Grand Street Studios on the lower east side.
For most bands, that would be the cue to grab all their best songs, try to find a producer, and cut the debut album. But Berman saw the studio time as a different kind of opportunity. "We are going to record," Berman says, "a single-take live album."
As Berman sees it, a well-miked, well-mixed live recording serves two purposes. Not only does it represent the live show, and therefore something that the band's new fans might want to buy. It's also great producer bait.
"There are a lot of producers we would love to work with when we decide to record the debut," Berman explains. "What better way to get their attention than show them a raw, live sound that will only get better under the right guidance?"
It's a calculated, savvy, patient move, the kind that any well-advised band would make, based on the kind of advice given by parties that have a band's best interests at heart.

What is the difference between Catchmaster glue boards and Trapper LTD boards?
You advertise both the Catchmaster Mouse/Insect Glue boards and the Trapper LTD Mouse/Insect Glue boards. Are the uses and results similar?
Yes, the Catchmaster Glue Boards and the Trapper LTD Glue Boards both serve the same purpose and are used the same way. We sell a large number of both units and do not ever have any complaints. The Catchmaster glueboards are peanut butter scented and the Trapper LTD glueboards are unscented.

0x1B1 - Version mismatch between executable and preexisting shared memory versions! EXITING. You may need to stop RTVSCAN or reboot.
It is documented as SPR# DDES7L9SEV, and IBM thought they had it fixed in 8.0.2 FP2 and 8.5 FP1. SPR #TONN7WTQQE was opened based on reports this is happening in 8.5.1, which I can confirm it really is.
Adam called Lotus support and they had him uninstall Notes, manually remove all the directories and Registry entries, and try again. It still failed with the same error. He sent in NSD's and other logs and there was no resolution. The final response he received was that it is under investigation. At this point he is stuck not being able to install 8.5.1 at all on his computer, which means he can't test his applications for compatibility.
This morning the same thing happened to me. I upgraded a test VM from 8.5 FP1 to 8.5.1 and got the same 0x1B1 error as Adam. I tried the same cleanup he did but it didn't help me, either. I'm writing this while I'm waiting for Windows to install in a new VM so I can see if it was just a fluke. Whether it is or not, this hardly inspires confidence.

Leaving Redux
I don't have time to write a pretty post with pics, full details, etc & doubt I'll magically gain time soon, so as I'm being inundated with emails about this, I'm just going to throw it up.
I'm not retiring in July-September 2016 as originally planned. I didn't change my mind or find myself too in lust with you losers to leave. I simply took on an extra year of research for my doctorate, and as such, will have a) more flexible time than previously anticipated had I entered my final year sooner and b) have another $60k or so of school fees under my belt, which I might as well rinse you guys for rather than dipping into my savings
So, really short version:
- I will stop taking custom video orders in December 2016. This will be your absolute last opportunity to get a custom video from me.
- I will 'retire' from twitter between January and March 2017. I am not sure if I will leave my twitter up essentially blank, leave it up with promo posts for clips only, or just delete it. Same goes for follow+
- I will not be attending any future conventions (FetishCon, AVN, etc), in line with my previous retirement post.
- New clips will stop going up DAILY on March 31st 2017. You'll then get 8 new clips a month til September 2017, 6 new clips a month Sept 2017 – July 2018, and 4 new clips a month July 2018 – July 2019. All of my clip stores will be deleted January 2020. Yes, this is ages away. So you're not really losing me, you're losing the ability to personally interact with me in real time, or order a custom.
- Custom audio will be available indefinitely (Why this but no videos? Because I can do this without a designated filming space, without setting up lights, backgrounds, tripods, camera, hair, makeup, and holding on to 300 shiny outfits)
- Phone-Only Chat (Niteflirt or most likely via the upcoming IWantPhone) will also be available indefinitely, at times of my choosing (when I log on)
- Skype, Kik, Yahoo, etc text-type instant messaging (no audio/video) will NOT be available as this permeates my life in a different way to phone sessions at my scheduled discretion.
- Something else also happens March 2017 but it doesn't make business sense to tell you what that is yet. You'll find out Feb 2017 most likely 🙂

Salvation Army N2 Integration
S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router Case Study
The Salvation Army
USA Western Territory
180 East Ocean Blvd.
Long Beach, CA 90802
Project Overview
The Salvation Army Western Headquarters is a 12-story high-rise office building located in Long Beach, California. The building not only serves as the headquarters for the Salvation Army services throughout the Western states but also houses several social/outreach programs to support the Long Beach citizens. The building contained 339 Metasys N2 Controllers on four Metasys Networks with NCM Supervisory Controllers.
The number of points on the legacy Metasys network totaled 16,797.
The building's size and complexity confirms the maturity of the S4 Group's S4 Open: BACnet – N2 Router, particularly the ability to find devices and bring them into BACnet.
Initial Situation
The Salvation Army staff was dissatisfied with the current provider's level of customer service. In fact, the Building Chief Engineer contacted The S4 Group Integration Partner Integrity Automation Solutions (IAS) to find out if there were any other options. The building has Metasys® PMI software with lots of VMA VAV controllers on the N2 bus. The customer wanted to know what migration options are available. The current service provider previously recommended replacing the four NCM 350s with new NAE's to modernize the network; however, this was proving to be prohibitively expensive for the customer.
Customer Needs/Requirements
After studying the existing infrastructure, IAS proposed a solution that would allow the customer to install Delta ORCAview in their building, salvaging most of their investment in Metasys® N2 field gear, and putting a fresh face on the building controls network.
The Salvation Army wanted enhanced visibility of their control systems, with better statistics to monitor energy efficiency within the building. In addition, the customer wanted the visualization capabilities to determine the condition of their building at any time, and the ability to react to changes as they occurred. As a non-profit, that prides itself on a high percentage of donations received providing community services, the Salvation Army benefits from any possible reuse of existing systems that would lower costs and meet budget requirements.
The solution identified and implemented by IAS was to replace the legacy Supervisory Controllers with new Delta Controls ORCAview head-end products. The challenge of this project was to keep the Johnson Controls Supervisory Controllers operational in parallel with the Delta Controls ORCAview head-end. The success of the project depended upon this parallel operation.
In addition to utilizing multiple BACnet-N2 Routers, IAS was Beta testing some new Delta Controls products at the same time. It is significant that IAS had enough confidence to BETA test a Delta Controls product at the same time that they were installing The S4 Open: BACnet –N2 Routers.
S4 Open: BACnet-N2 Router
Because of the size and complexity of the project, the S4 Open: BACnet –N2 Router was the only viable option for integrating to the legacy Metasys system. The migration went very smoothly; in fact, IAS President Mark Fulton commented "I have been doing integration projects for many years and the S4Open: BACnet to N2 router made this one of the smoothest." Once the four BACnet-N2 Routers were installed, they provided a gateway for 67,919 points to the Delta Controls ORCA controllers.
ComBus Quick Tester
An N2 bus was experiencing communication problems that needed to be resolved before this integration could proceed. To pinpoint the cause of the issue IAS used the ComBus Quick Tester hand-held diagnostic tool. This tool helped save the integrators valuable time in arriving at an accurate diagnosis. In the end, the communication errors were cleaned up by adding a repeater to the N2 bus. The ComBus Quick Tester was so helpful on this project that IAS has used it on several other projects.
The customer has been very satisfied with the level of support and professionalism of Integrity Automation Systems. The graphic
interface of the Delta ORCAview controller makes viewing, and acting upon, real time data updates possible. All of the project goals have met or exceeded the customer's expectations.

Pre-Game Strategy
1. Setting up your account. Once you've selected your wire vendor, it's best to set up an account in advance of your first press release—if possible. Remember, new accounts can take up to 24 hours to set up and you can't send a release without an account, so you want to check that off your list before crunchtime starts.
2. Authorized senders. Whether you're just setting up an account and providing a list of authorized senders—or you have an account and need to update with a new sender – you can expedite the sender authorization process. If it's your first time using a wire vendor, provide an example of a past release, or a draft of something you plan to send out so that your PR Newswire support team can understand the type of content you will be sending out and make the best recommendations for your goals. If you're adding an authorized sender to your account, take a few minutes to review your sender list and make sure it's up-to-date.
Press release content can live forever. At PR Newswire, we have editorial policies to ensure standards for content are met. If your release includes inflammatory or inappropriate content, is sent "on behalf of" an unaffiliated entity, or raises questions of copyright (whether text or multimedia), your release will not meet the standards for acceptability and will not be distributed a delay that can easily be avoided if you keep these guidelines in mind.
Your release can't go into play without...
Be sure to indicate whether this should be made publicly available. If your goal is driving media pick-up, providing a public media contact for easy follow-up is key.
If you are confused about the appropriate source, ask yourself, "Upon whom does legal responsibility for this content fall?"
Specifically the location city for your brand.
Let's Talk About Formatting
Headline. Grab your readers' attention and make them want to read more. Statistics and numbers make for great headline content and bonus points if it's enabled for social sharing: 80-100 characters is ideal. Build out detail in your subhead.
Lead paragraph. The "hook" for your story, the lead paragraph should be concise and to the point—and answer the 5 W's: who, what, when, where and why
Second paragraph. Once you've grabbed reader attention, be sure to add in relevant details and story nuances. Use shorter, attention-grabbing sentences or bullet points to facilitate social sharing.
Stand out with multimedia. Visual and audio elements drive audience engagement and interaction…and can help your story and content go "viral" on social channels.
Quotes. Establish thought leadership with interesting sound bites from key company spokespersons. Make sure your quotes have a conversational tone—they should sound like something a human being would say—and avoid overused words like "excited" and "delighted."
Call to action. Give your readers a next step! Do you want them to visit your company blog or download an eBook? Publishing an infographic that you'd like journalists to pick up? Include the relevant link in the body of your release, ideally following the first or second paragraph.
Make it your own. Close every release with a standard (but interesting) company boilerplate.Keep it brief, avoid industry jargon and acronyms and link to your website.
Avoiding overtime
Distributing multimedia with your release? Whether it's a photo, logo, infographic or video, you want to be prepared with the right file type and quality—a bad or low quality photo can delay your release distribution as you find a replacement. A central space to host multimedia content can help ensure you have the right content when you need it—PR Newswire's Media Studio provides galleries for you to organize your photos, logos, infographic, video and audio files by project, file type, etc.—whatever works best for your team.
Targeting a multicultural or international audience? If your release requires translations, you'll want to build some additional turnaround time into your schedule—before your targeted release date and time.
Adding a visual? Be sure to have your caption ready to go, and if you're selecting a distribution option that includes Times Square, draft a headline to showcase on the display.
Including a graph or table in your release? Attach the original Excel or Word file.
Want your news to stand out? Make sure to schedule your distribution to avoid market open and close (for the U.S. 9:30AM and 4PM ET) to avoid getting lost in the shuffle.
Is your company publicly traded? Include the ticker symbol so it's easily found on financial sites.
Don't Get a Penalty Card
A note on linking:
Be selective with your linking practices. Your release should have one main action you are driving readers to take–not seven options to split their attention and negatively impact you in search indexing. Over-linking can also add time to your release processing, as each link has to be checked.

You will see Colombia at its best on this short two centre trip around Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park. In the city you will enjoy walking tours when you will see all the sights and hear about the rich history. Then in the national park you can relax on the beautiful beaches under swaying palms and experience life in the world's highest coastal mountain range. You pack a lot into five days on this exciting tour of Columbia.
On arrival at the airport you will be met and driven to your hotel in Santa Marta where the rest of day is free for you to explore on your own. Santa Marta may lack the wealth of colonial landmarks of its westerly neighbour, Cartagena, but the charm of this unique city more than makes up for it. Take in the pulsating nightlife with a cold Aquila beer and Caribbean fish dish in one of the many restaurants.
Enjoy a half-day walking tour of the historical centre and the gold museum with a coffee stop. This tour is a perfect introduction to Santa Marta, the oldest Spanish Colonial city in the continental Americas, and you will stroll through the atmospheric plazas and narrow streets. Visit the Gold Museum to see gold and pottery objects from the indigenous cultures that inhabit the Sierra Nevada Mountains which rise up behind the city and walk through the Bolivar Plaza and the bustling streets to the Cathedral, Colombia's oldest church. From here it is a short stroll to the beautiful Parque de los Novios (lovers' park) where you can sip a refreshing cold drink in the shade.
Today you will be picked up and driven to Parque Nacional Tayrona passing along the foothills of the famous Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountain range in the world. Then put your walking boots on and get ready to hit the coastal paths to one of the main beaches, where you can sit under palms and watch the waves roll up the shore or take a walk to one of the main swimming beaches. During the walk to your hotel look out for some of the Kogi tribes' people who still live in the park and see an impressive array of flora and fauna.
A day of leisure . . . and there is no better place to relax on the beach and listen to the calming rhythms of the waves than Parque Nacional Tayrona. You are surrounded by a biosphere of tropical and deciduous forests, a population of nearly 26,500 indigenous people form tribes including Koji, Arhuaco and Wiwa, and the world's highest coastal mountain range. In front is the Caribbean with its well preserved coral reefs, bays, inlets and fine beaches where you can relax in a hammock, or wander along jungle trails.
Your last day in paradise so make the most of it before you are picked up at your hotel and driven back to Santa Marta where you are dropped off at your hotel or the airport to catch an onward flight or begin your journey home. This short but exciting tour makes a great add on to any holiday in Columbia or South America.
Usually very good but on this occasion failed to inform about the government tax if stay over 2 months in Colombia.

So far I think this is the best improvement that Google Adsense presented for publishers. Instead of creating more work to publisher, both this method helps solve the needs of using suitable Google Adsense tools. Google Adsense should work and develop their features towards this direction. There are just 2 things that Google Adsense has to consider when carry out the improvement.
- Solve the needs and requirements of publishers. All Google Adsense has to do is answer publisher's questions and gave what publishers needs.
- Do not increase the work load for publisher. Don't make it troublesome for publisher. Help publisher in reducing the time needed to use Google Adsense. Make it efficient for publishers.
Sometimes I just think that Google Adsense might just have too many ideas in mind that they seem to lose their direction. As much as publishers are concern, simple is the best and of cause more earning.

Tesco is doubling its number of in-store phone shops to 100, as it gears up to overtake Carphone and become the number one in prepay.
Tesco, which is expected to reveal bumper profits of £3bn tomorrow (21 April), will open more than 100 shops selling mobile and landline packages in its largest stores by March 2010. It plans to rebrand them as 'Phone Shop'.
The move is part of Tesco's strategy to stretch beyond groceries and will put pressure on Carphone's lead. The retailer will also expand its contract phones business. It already has a 13% share of the UK pay-as-you-go phone market.
Lance Batchelor, head of Tesco Telecoms, told The Times that Tesco was neck and neck with Argos in the prepay market but some way behind Charles Dunstone's Carphone.
Tesco has an own-brand mobile phone joint venture with O2 that has two million customers. Batchelor is aiming to catch up with closest rivals Virgin Mobile and 3 to become the fifth largest in the market.

The first Nauticam NA-550D landed in our warehouse a few days ago - it didn't take long before I managed to head to Key West and the Dry Tortugas for a quick dive trip. (So far, the oil from the gulf has not impacted the Dry Tortugas, but it is definitely a worry). I packed some lenses, a couple of Z-240 strobes, arms and also a 7D rig for some Nauticam family photos.
[Click on an image to see a larger version]
Since many T2i's are purchased with the 18-55 kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm IS), I tried this lens first, using a Nauticam Compact Port 15 with the 18-55 zoom gear. This is a versatile combination, 18mm on the wide side is wide enough to get some decent reef scenes, and it will allow a 1:2 reproduction ratio on the 55 end. This combo has a lot of range in a small package, and is very handy for fish portraits. Given the small size of the NA-550D housing and this port, this is a compelling setup for someone who wants to travel light.
My biggest problem on this trip, aside from the weather being a little rough thanks to a passing tropical wave, was that everyone wanted to try the housing. I only managed to get to use it for about 2 dives. Using the 18-55, my friend who is new to underwater photography, managed to get some nice shots.
The new latches on the housing proved to be easy to use and very secure. To open, you press the small release button and move the lever in the opposite direction past a mechanical catch, making it virtually impossible to open inadvertently.
I had the camera's autofocus set to the default setting, such that the autofocus is initiated upon a half press of the shutter release. The NA-550D has a unique new two stage shutter release lever. The increased tactile feel of the two stages allows more control over the half press with less accidental actuation. Though I am more used to a configuration where the autofocus is moved to a different button, I found the default half press autofocus to be easy to use with this housing.
On the second dive, I traded the 18-55 for a Tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens plus zoom gear, combined with a Zen 100mm fisheye mini-dome plus Nauticam Locking Extension Ring 20. Trading out the lens is made easy by the new lens release on the NA-550D, and trading out the port is simple and secure thanks to the distinctive Nauticam port release mechanism. One thing I really liked was the lever to access the playback button, which made reviewing photos and video a breeze. I shot some in manual on this dive so I could try out the Av button lever. In what is apparently becoming a Nauticam tradition, I find this lever makes the camera easier to use inside the housing than by itself, i.e. instead of having to hold down the Av button and move the command dial at the same time, I just flipped the switch, then used the command dial to change the aperture, no need to hold anything down.
I also changed the camera to only autofocus when the * button is pressed. On the housing, the * button is the top button on the rocker button, and easily reached with my hands still on the handles. Since it is different than the 7D, it took a few tries to get used to the placement, but once I did it felt natural. I prefer this style of shooting, but for many people, the two stage shutter release will allow the default autofocus style to be the preferred method.
While we mostly concentrated on shooting stills this trip, I did shoot some natural light video with the T2i. This video is shot with manual exposure (using the ISO paddle lever to set ISO) and custom white balance, using Tokina 10-17. The video looks great at 1080p... I've uploaded it here to Vimeo, which is 720p and more compressed than I'd like, but not bad.
The NA-550D housings begin shipping June 30th.

Bon Voyage took little interest at Windsor last time and finished tailed off. He's had more than his fair share of chances and others make more appeal. JAILAWI was no match for the debutant Invincible Fresh at Lingfield last time but the winner looks useful and, with a little further improvement, Ismail Mohammed's colt could open his account here. Nathr has been off for a while but showed promise last year and Mantou is improving with experience, though will be qualified for handicaps after this.

This is the history of the world, Jesus changed the world in only 30 years on earth. Jesus Christ was an esteemed prophet. Throughtout the bible, Jesus claims to be God, but he is the son of God. At birth, he was the only one to open a womb,since he was the sun of a virgin. Jesus was born in Bethleham in a stable. Jesus was fully human. He became tired, hungry, sad and angry. He went to work as other men, and most importantly, he was tempted. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. He lived in poverty, and was unknown outside of Nazareth. He had neither wealth nor influence. In manhood, He ruled the elements and quieted the raging sea. He healed without medicine, and fed thousands from a boy's lunch. Even demons obeyed Him and He gave back life to those who were dead. Yet He suffered and sustained in body and soul the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race.
Jesus was despised and rejected of men. Though He was innocent, He was condemned by a civil judge and sentenced to death on a cross. By His suffering and death, He paid completely for the sins of all who believe in Him. He set us free from the certain judgment and eternal condemnation of God that was to fall on all of us.
Some have given their lives for others, and great men have come and gone, yet Jesus Christ lives on. Herod could not kill Him. Satan could not stop him. Death could not destroy Him. The grave could not hold Him. Having fully satisfied God's perfect justice, He conquered death and rose on the third day as He said He would.
For the last 2,000 years, every man, woman and child has been confronted with this same question. In Mathew 16:15, Jesus put it this way, 'But who do you say that I am?' One of His disciples, Simon Peter, replied: 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Walk into this little Soho establishment and you will enter a world different from your own where men and women are walking about in traditional garb and cultural references are abound.
If you are looking for unique drink and food in NYC, Korchma Taras Bulba [357 W Broadway, New York, NY 10013] has an answer. If you order a Ukrainian beer you will be offered 'beer snacks' along with it, tastily seasoned croutons to nibble on. I ordered a homemade traditional drink called a kvas, honey and lemon flavored, made from fermented bread.
Out came thick toasted bread with a super savory minced meat spread, so satisfying.
Our meals came out quickly, they were hot and delicious. I had vareniki, or Ukrainian dumplings, filled with potatoes and mushrooms.
They were soft and scrumptious, especially when topped with a dollop of sour cream and a helping of caramelized onions and spices. Jeff had the beef stroganoff and he devoured the tender saucy meat in mere moments.
We loved our meal and the ambiance, and as we got up to leave we were offered complimentary shots of horseradish vodka, yowza!
Another parting gift, a bag of little animal crackers, a sweet gesture.
If you are looking for a fun, funky, and affordable spot to try a different ethnic cuisine, head down to Soho and don't miss the little entrance into Korchma's.
