"Viva Presidente Trump!" was originally released on Record Store Day, April 16th, 2016 as 7" singles. Each of the four singles were pressed in four different colors: green, white, red and black. Put them all together to form the colors of the Mexican flag. Each color was limited to 250 copies.
"The song ('Viva Presidente Trump!') was on shelf for years with no idea for vocals," states vocalist Juan Brujo. "It was gonna be an 'Anti-Castro' part II song but nothing came out of it. It just needed proper motivation to go and attach itself to someone... and Trump came thru!
"I see Trump as the white republican version of Juan Brujo circa '93. Wanting to start shit for the hell of it!!! That's why it's called "Viva Presidente Trump!" We both want same thing! So much that I want to be his running mate!!!"

Should, knowing what we know, Hillary Clinton be prosecuted for running her own private email server while she was Secretary of State?
Well, let's ask this question another way.
Former CIA Director and highly decorated Army General David Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials. He was given a two year probationary period and a fine of $100,000.
Former Speaker of the House Denny Hastert pleaded guilty in October to one count of illegally structuring bank withdrawals, but a new court filing lays out, for the first time, detail of the wrongdoing that the former speaker allegedly committed when he was a wrestling coach and high school teacher in a small town outside of Chicago decades ago. In fact, prior to his sentencing, Federal prosecutors alleged that he made that plea because the withdrawals were part of a plan to pay hush money to someone he allegedly sexually abused when the victim was 14 years old and in the ex-lawmaker's charge, even though he was not charged with those acts.
Should those people have been prosecuted?

Should former IRS employee Lois Lerner have been prosecuted for targeting political groups with whom she had ideological differences in the same manner Richard Nixon once used the IRS?
In point of fact, prosecution at the Federal level is largely a matter of judgment. There are so many Federal crimes, that prosecutors not only can be selective, they almost have to be.
TRENDING: Black Lives Matter Group Releases Trump Poll, Unexpected Results Force Them to Immediately Delete It
But fair is fair.
If you are going to charge the director of the CIA for sharing some classified information with his biographer, how can you NOT charge the former Secretary of State with the same crime for running an unsecure email server instead of using the government system.

President Barack Obama told Fox News: "Guaranteed. Full stop. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department, because nobody is above the law."
The only problem with that is what we've just written above.
This is the same President who once told Bill O'Reilly that there was "not even a smidgeon of corruption, I would say" on the IRS targeting of conservative 501(c)4 groups. Except he was clearly wrong. It became a case of who do you believe; me or your lying eyes? Yet the Feds didn't prosecute Ms. Lerner who was allowed to retire with a full pension.
No matter what Obama tells us, the absolute fact is that the Department of Justice is NOT independent of the White House.

If the President wants someone prosecuted and there is anything close to a whiff of smoke, a Federal Prosecutor can get a Grand Jury to indict a canned ham.
Conversely, if there is a person who ought to be charged with a blatant violation and ought to be tried by a jury of his (or her) peers, a wink and a nod from the White House can stop the whole process dead.
Can you seriously tell me that Obama did NOT wink and nod at Chris Wallace from Fox News last week? Full Stop? Guaranteed?
The only thing which can change that is a group of FBI agents who are not afraid of their jobs and, frankly, that's not historically common.

But the American people know.
Even the Democrat leadership is not immune from that knowledge.
There's Hillary saying, "trust me" and then there's reality. Her reason for running a private email server probably was not that it served the American people better than using the systems they actually paid for at the State Department.
And the American people are smarter—a lot smarter—than Obama gives us credit for.

The invention relates to an antenna for the reception of electromagnetic radiation, for example, microwaves emanating from a geo-stationary broadcast-satellite, said antenna comprising a receiving member and a focusing member focusing the incident radiation thereto, said receiving member comprising at least one receiving element having an insulating substrate plate, a conductive plate applied to one surface thereof and a flat, conductive pattern applied to the other surface thereof, said conductive plate and said conductive pattern being coupled with connecting terminals.
An antenna of the kind set forth is described in Dutch Patent Application 80.06425.
The known antenna is of the resonator type, which is based on a resonance phenomenon, as a result of which the bandwidth is quite limited, namely in the order of magnitude of a few percents of the resonance frequency. A relative bandwidth of 2 to 3%, for example, is typical.
With regard to the concept of "bandwidth of an antenna" it is noted that it is defined as that frequency band in which the antenna maintains its properties to the desired, at least sufficient extent. In accordance with the specific use the maintaining of one property or the other may be considered to be of decisive importance. The bandwidth is then determined in relation to said most relevant property.
The aforesaid limitation of the attainable bandwidth may be an important disadvantage. Most uses in telecommunication, for example, for radar purposes, satellite communication and so on require bandwidths of the order of 5 to 10%. For example, for the reception of television broadcast satellites the international standards prescribe a bandwidth of 800 MHz with a central frequency of 12.1 MHz, i.e. a relative bandwidth of about 6.6%.
In order to achieve the desired enlargement of the bandwidth it is possible to optimize the design of the antenna. For this optimalization a number of design parameters, for example, the thickness of a substrate and the relative permittivity thereof are selected to be as favourable as possible in their mutual relationship. In this way it is under advantageous conditions possible to double the bandwidth, for example, to 4 to 6% without substantial disturbance of less essential properties.
It is furthermore possible to use several micro-strip resonator elements, each of which covering part of the frequency band. There may, for example, be employed the so-called logarithmically periodical antennas. Without discussing the details of such a design, it should be noted that the "feeding network" brings about large problems. However, in principle it is possible to obtain large bandwidths, for example, of more than 10%, be it with the great disadvantage that the original single resonator antenna is replaced by an array of several different elements.
With respect to the two aforesaid solutions it is noted that the first solution does not provide adequate enlargement of the relative bandwidth, whereas the second solution is, indeed, capable of doing so be it at the expense of the disadvantage that the antenna-structure is considerably more complicated, takes more place, and hence is more expensive and probably less reliable in practice.
The invention has for its object to construct a resonator antenna of the type described in a manner such that a relative bandwidth of about 5 to 10% can be attained, while maintaining the desired radiation properties.
A further object of the invention is to provide an antenna which has a simple structure and can thus be manufactured at low cost, while being reliable in practice.
The invention is based on the following considerations and observations:
1. The behaviour of the input impedance of an antenna as a function of frequency can be influenced by an impedance matching circuit. In principle this permits increasing the bandwith, which is determined in this case in relation to the impedance matching, by a factor 4 to 8.
2. With conventional antennas, for example horn antennas, the technique referred to sub 1 is not often employed, since the required matching circuits can be manufactured only with great difficulty. This drawback, however, does not apply to integrated antennas in which it is technologically no problem to etch an adequate filter network, for example, on the same substrate. Such a solution has, up to the present, not been put forward nor even has been suggested in any publication.
3. In earlier experiments it has been found that in micro-strip resonator antennas the impedance matching constitutes by far the most limiting factor in determining the bandwidth. Namely, the other important properties such as antenna gain, radiation pattern, polarization and so on are maintained in a much larger frequence range than the impedance matching.
On the basis of the above-mentioned considerations and observations the invention provides an antenna of the type set forth in the preamble, in which an impedance matching circuit is arranged between the receiving member and the connecting terminals. Said impedance matching network preferably comprises an insulating substrate plate, a conductive plate applied to one surface of the former and a flat, conductive pattern on the other surface. A simple embodiment is characterized by a substrate plate common to the receiving element and the impedance matching network.
The influence of the presence of the impedance matching circuit on the radiation i.e. directional patterns may be avoided by using a screening or a double-layer embodiment of the matching circuit. Such double-layer embodiment may comprise two isolating substrate plates, a flat conducting pattern therebetween and conducting plates on the outer surfaces, respectively.
The invention will now be explained with reference to the drawing of some exemplary embodiments. The drawing shows in
FIG. 1 a plan view of an aerial in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 a reflectogram of the aerial shown in FIG. 1 with and without an impedance matching network respectively;
FIG. 3 a perspective view, partly broken away, or an embodiment in which a screening is added to the impedance matching circuit; and
FIG. 4 a perspective view, partly broken away, of an alternative embodiment, in which said impedance matching circuit comprises: two isolating substrate plates; a flat conductive pattern sandwiched between said two substrate plates; and conductive plates on the two outer surfaces of said substrate plates, respectively.
In the drawings all corresponding parts and elements are indicated by the same reference numerals.
FIG. 1 illustrates a micro-strip resonator antenna 1. This antenna comprises a receiving member 2, connecting terminals 3 as well as an impedance matching circuit 4 connected between the receiving member 2 and the connecting terminals 3.
In this specific embodiment the width of the receiving member is 120 mms, whereas the length is 31.5 mms and the height 1.57 mms. The relative permittivity of the substrate having the conductive pattern 2,3,4 amounts to 2.2. The resonance frequency is 3.020 MHz.
With reference to FIG. 2 it will be explained more fully that the bandwidth of the receiving member is 2.5%, whereas the bandwidth of the combined unit of the receiving member and the impedance matching circuit is 10%.
FIG. 2 shows two reflection diagrams designated by reference numerals 5 and 6, respectively. The reflectogram 5 corresponds to the receiving member 2, whereas the reflectogram 6 corresponds to the combination of the receiving member 2 and the impedance matching circuit 4.
The abscissa corresponds to the frequency and the ordinate to the relative reflection level. The frequency range concerned extends from 2.6 GHz to 3.5 GHz.
As a criterion for the desired properties a reflection level of less than -10 dB is assumed. It will be obvious that this criterion for the curve 5 corresponds to the bandwidth designated by 7 and for the curve 6 to the bandwidth designated by reference numeral 8.
It should be noted that the impedance matching circuit 4 is designed as an approximation of the Chebyshev circuit.
It is remarked that the non-matched antenna has a mode 9 at about 3.42 GHz, which is completely suppressed by using the matching circuit 4. This illustrates the ample activity of the impedance matching circuit.
The exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 comprises an isolating substrate plate 11, a conductive plate 12 on one surface thereof and a flat conductive pattern 13 on the other surface thereof, terminals 3, and an impedance matching circuit 4 connected between said pattern 13 and said terminals 3. Over the circuit 4 in spaced relation therewith arranged in a screening plate 14 which is connected with the above-mentioned conductive plate 12 by spacing elements having the form of conductive side plates 12. As a result of this construction deterioration of the directional characteristics of the antenna 10 by the circuit 4 is avoided.
In the example 15 as viewed in FIG. 4 over the impedance matching circuit 4 a second isolating substrate-plate 16 is arranged in such a way that the circuit 4 is sandwiched between substrate plates 11 and 16. On the whole outer surface of the substrate-plate 16 a conductive plate 17 is arranged. As is the case for the conductive plate 12 according to FIG. 3 the conductive plate 17 is operative in preventing the circuit 4 from adversely affecting the directional characteristics of the antenna.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments described. For example, the receiving member may be of any other appropriate type, for example, of the gap type, the dipole type and so forth.
Moreover, the matching circuit may be of a quite different type than that of the embodiment described. It is imaginable, for example, to use stub filters, filters comprising coupled lines, and so on.
The receiving member in conjunction with the matching circuit may, as an alternative, operate as a basic element in an array-element of a phased-array antenna.
Finally, it is emphasized that, where reference is made to a receiving element exactly the same principles according to the invention apply to a transmitter antenna, since an antenna is a reversible dipole.

My trusted pair of DT-770 cans have been collecting dust for a while. This was mostly due to the fact one side, the right, stopped working. So I recently opened it up to discover the factory TRS cable was tearing, causing the right to loose signal. Luckily the drivers were fine.
Getting the goods
So I set out to find more about recabling at Head-Fi, a nice forum with headphone user and fanatics alike. A good place to make a informed decision when upgrading cans. But before I was gonna upgrade anything, my cable needed one first. There was a great thread (with pics of every step!) http://www.head-fi.org/t/643648/beyer-dt770-pro-80-detachable-cable-mod which was perfect. All I needed was finding the stuff needed in my local hifi/hardware stores.
As TRS cables are hard to come by with coating in place and all I ended up buying a Jack chassis and Jack cable. The cable inside the can was long enough to simply cut and solder to the Jack Chassis. Oh and this ended up being a lot cheaper than buying another (bad quality) factory cable. And more durable! I might end up getting a fancy looking cable, just for the placebo, oh the ignorant bliss!
Plug 'n Solder
Next step was cutting the TRS cable (the red, blue and orange/copper) as close as possible to the breached part. Untangle the wires far enough so you can burn of the coating on the individual string. The coating will flame a bit, make sure to scrape the residue off the strings. Put the ground (copper colored) on the middle part of the Jack Chassis, put the wire trough the ring and solder it tight. Don't use too much solder. Now do the same for the right and left side by attaching them to the sides of the Jack Chassis. My jack chassis was a tiny bit too big, so I used a knife to carve out a tiny bit and connected it via the screw on the outside of the can.
Now no more heavy cable hanging on my chest – the old cable was one of those curled, oldskool telephone cable, only bigger 😀 But a great solution that will be much more forgiving of my clumsy studio practises.

Since the SOL has expired, it would be foolish to pay this debt off. Just let it fall off. Your debt to income ratio will be the biggest factor in getting a mortgage. But as one who has been a renter then a homeowner, I hope you have considered the extra costs (insurance, appliance repair and property taxes) that add to the cost of a home.

Item description for Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk by Ben Carson M. D. & Gregg Lewis...Overview
A world-renowned neurosurgeon explores the relationship between risk and faith, sharing the daily risks he takes in hundreds of complex surgeries on the brain and spinal cord and how those risks are an essential part of living as God designed. 75,000 first printing. $30,000 ad/promo.
Publishers Description
No risk, pay the cost. Know risk, reap the rewards. In our risk-avoidance culture, we place a high premium on safety. We insure our vacations. We check crash tests on cars. We extend the warranties on our appliances. But by insulating ourselves from the unknown---the risks of life---we miss the great adventure of living our lives to their full potential. Ben Carson spent his childhood as an at-risk child on the streets of Detroit, and today he takes daily risks in performing complex surgeries on the brain and the spinal cord. Now, offering inspiring personal examples, Dr. Carson invites us to embrace risk in our own lives. From a man whose life dramatically portrays the connection between great risks and greater successes, here are insights that will help you dispel your fear of risk so you can dream big, aim high, move with confidence, and reap rewards you ve never imagined. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life? The surgery was as risky as anything Dr. Ben Carson had seen. The Bijani sisters---conjoined twins---shared part of a skull, brain tissue, and crucial blood flow. One or both of them could die during the operation. But the women wanted separate lives. And they were willing to accept the risk to reach the goal, even against the advice of their doctors As a child on the dangerous streets of Detroit, and as a surgeon in operating theaters around the world, Dr. Ben Carson has learned all about risk---he faces it on a daily basis. Out of his perilous childhood, a world-class surgeon emerged precisely because of the risks Dr. Carson was willing to take. In his compelling new book, he examines our safety-at-all-costs culture and the meaning of risk and security in our lives. In our 21st-century world, we insulate ourselves with safety. We insure everything from vacations to cell phones. We go on low-cholesterol diets and buy low-risk mutual funds. But in the end, everyone faces risk, like the Bijani twins did with their brave decision. Even if our choices are not so dramatic or the outcome so heartbreaking, what does it mean if we back away instead of move forward? Have we so muffled our hearts and minds that we fail to reach for all that life can offer us---and all that we can offer life? Take the Risk guides the reader through an examination of risk, including: * A short review of risk-taking in history. * An assessment of the real costs and rewards of risk. * Learning how to assess and accept risks. * Understanding how risk reveals the purpose of your lives."
From Publishers Weekly
Carson (Think Big) retells stories from previous books, focusing on the idea of risk. As one of the world's top pediatric neurosurgeons, Carson has a lot of experience weighing the odds - and in most cases, lives are on the line. His "Best/Worst Analysis" for any situation includes four questions: "What's the best thing that can happen if I do this? What's the worst thing that can happen if I do this? What's the best thing that can happen if I don't do it? What's the worst thing that can happen if I don't do it?" Carson's decisions are also rooted in his faith, with his greatest priority being "to use the talents God has given" rather than simply to preserve his reputation. By the end, his four-question formula wears thin, however, and he uses the idea of risk to launch into apparently unrelated subjects - the creation/evolution debate, his own belief in God, sharing his faith, problems with public education and even fiscal policy (where he suggests getting rid of money altogether in lieu of handprints and retina scans). Carson can be inspiring, but this book would have been better with a tighter focus and greater depth. (Jan.) Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

Feb. 14, 2013: Edith Casas leaves the courthouse after getting married to the man convicted of killing her twin sister in Pico Truncado, Argentina. Casas says her now husband Victor Cingolani is innocent of killing her twin sister Johana two years ago, despite his conviction. (AP/OPI Santa Cruz)
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – This was a Valentine's Day wedding that the bride's family wanted no part of: An Argentine woman married the man convicted of killing her twin sister.
Neighbors were against it as well. A mob gathered outside the civil registry office where Thursday's wedding took place, throwing stones and eggs.
The bride, 23-year-old Edith Casas, says Victor Cingolani is innocent of killing her twin sister Johana more than two years ago, despite his conviction and 13-year prison sentence. The groom says he is innocent and will be absolved on appeal.
They both want to have children but that will have to wait. Cingolani, 28, was taken back to prison in handcuffs immediately after the nuptials. Edith Casas waited for hours until the crowd dispersed and it was safe to leave.
The bride's mother thinks she's crazy and sought to block the wedding, but a judge found her capable of

My boys and I live for great wings, and sadly the Philly area is pretty weak in this department. To be great, a wing must be:
1. Very crispy without being breaded
2. Have a great FLAVORED sauce, preferably with multiple heat options, including a true scorcher
3. Not too big, not too small
4. A quality blue cheese dip, extra points for carrots
We rate each category 1 to 5 (though we often cheat and use half points for high scores).
We've tried all the Philly usual suspects, and all are pretty lacking when compared to the gold standard, Jeremiah's in Rochester, NY.
The best we have found is The Artful Dodger, though we always order them extra crispy. 5 for crisp, 4 for sauce, 5 for size (the crispy wing tip puts them over the top), 4.5 for dip (they have carrots)
Other favorites?

The invention relates to a bit structuring apparatus and method, and more particularly to an improved apparatus and method for controllably structuring character image bit patterns.
The need for a low cost albeit high quality system for taking orthographic information, typically alpha-numeric characters of various font styles and types, and bit structuring that information to provide desired character size and resolution has long been felt in the copying and printing arts. Attempts at bit structuring have, however, left holes in the characters produced, required inordinately large amounts in memory to store line and font data, destroyed proportional spacing, and required a substantial amount of computation and arithmetic manipulations.
This invention relates to an apparatus for controllably structuring the image bit patterns representing alpha-numeric characters to permit the size of the characters to be varied selectively, comprising the combination of: a font memory for storing imaging bit patterns representative of discrete alpha-numeric characters; address means for addressing selected ones of the characters in the front memory so that the font memory outputs a stream of character bits; bit expanding means for expanding the stream of character bits along a first axis to magnify the characters addressed in one dimension, and line iterating means for iterating the stream of character bits along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis to magnify the characters addressed along a second dimension perpendicular to the first dimension.
The invention further relates to a method of generating variable sized alpha-numeric characters having the steps of: storing pixel representations of the alpha-numeric characters in memory; addressing selected ones of the characters in the memory; outputting the addressed character pixels at a preset frequency; selectively reducing the pixel frequency to expand the characters along a first axis; and iterating the pixels a selected number of times to expand the characters along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the ensuing description and drawings in which:
FIGS. 1A and 1B together are a schematic diagram of the bit structuring apparatus of the present invention;
FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C illustrate the effect of the bit structuring technique of the present invention on an exemplary alpha-numeric character; and
FIG. 3 is a view illustrating various picture patterns having different tonal relationships.
As will appear herein, there is described a low cost, high quality system for taking orthographic information, typically alpha-numeric characters of various font styles and design, and bit structuring the information. A window is created permitting the aspect ratio of any one character in the X, Y plane to be related to desired character spacing and to serve as the source definition of the X, Y space per character or pattern. By setting up an iterating space oriented register (Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 herein) and using a separate space expansion control (X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30 herein), redefining and generating of a space bit structure related to resolution and size is achieved. As a result, problems attending resolution increases and/or character size increases which often result in holes in characters and loss of proportional spacing, or which require increased amounts of relatively expensive storage for line data, fonts, etc., or which require complex computations and arithmetic manipulations, are obviated or reduced.
And separately, there is also achieved the ability to handle and store non-coded data, as for example facsimile transmitted data.
In the herein described system, bit data is written one line at a time. Character size in the Y-direction is related to the number of times a line of data is iterated while character size in the X-direction is related to the spacing of bits. Iteration does not, however, imply additional bit storage requirements greater than the character font memory.
In the X-direction, a divide-by-N circuit (X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTON CONTROLLER 30) takes the data stream generated by the FONT MEMORY (12 herein) and reduces the data operating frequency by a factor N. This introduces a relationship referenced to character size and defined resolution in the X-direction. The same factor N can control the sequencing of a space generator shift register (Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38) which acts to produce the individual line N number of times by allowing the recirculating shift register to output the line N times. This controls character height in the Y-dimension. The aspect ratio of the characters, however remains the same despite the changes in character size.
Referring to the drawings there is shown the bit structuring apparatus 10 of the present invention. Bit structuring apparatus 10 includes a FONT MEMORY 12 which may comprise any suitable RAM or ROM type memory chip for storing alpha-numeric characters in one or more fonts. For purposes of description herein, each character is defined in an 8-bit�8-bit (i.e. 8�8) pattern, the aforesaid pattern including spacing between characters. Other bit patterns (i.e. 4�4, 16�16, etc.) may instead be contemplated. While various fonts may be envisioned, a single font and character h (shown in FIG. 2) is employed herein for explanation purposes.
An ADDRESS-REGISTER BUFFER 16 is provided for addressing memory 12, BUFFER 16 receiving and temporarily buffering coded address data input thereto from a suitable address source (not shown) through serial data line 21 or parallel data bus 22. The coded address data, which may for example, comprise ASCII coded data, may originate from any suitable source for example, a computer, an operator console, etc.. The address data from ADDRESS-REGISTER BUFFER 16 is input to FONT MEMORY 12 through address bus 23.
Where the coded address data input to ADDRESS-REGISTER BUFFER 16 is in serial form, the data is converted to parallel coded address data by REGISTER-BUFFER 16.
The character data is output by FONT MEMORY 12 in the form of binary level image pixels or bits to data bus 26 and X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30. The character pixels are clocked out of MEMORY 12 at a predetermined clock rate by clock signals φ1 derived from pixel clock 60. CONTROLLER 30, which is preferably comprised of plural divide-by-N circuits, serves to selectively enlarge or magnify the character data output by FONT MEMORY 12 along one axis (i.e. the X axis) by reducing the operating frequency of the pixel stream. This has the effect of spacing the character pixels further apart. At the same time extra or duplicate character pixels are interpolated in the space created to maintain character image resolution. Lead 31 permits control data from a suitable source such as an operator's console (not shown) to be input to CONTROLLER 30 to regulate the size and the resolution of the output character along the X axis. CONTROLLER 30 includes an input data buffer section 32 for temporarily storing the character pixels input from FONT MEMORY 12 while the pixels are being processed.
A PAGE MEMORY STORE 24 is provided for storing the coded address data, STORE 24 being coupled to address bus 23 through page storing bus 2. PAGE MEMORY STORE 24 permits additional copies of the page to be printed out while avoiding the need to maintain the address source on line.
In the exemplary arrangement described heretofore, each character including spaces between characters is defined in terms of an 8�8 bit structure. X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30, where magnification of the character along the X axis is selected, alters the bit structure by a factor N, the factor N representing the magnification selected. As a result, the bit structure of the character pixels output by CONTROLLER 30 to bus 35 and Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 is in the form of 8N�3 bits. It will be understood that where the character is not magnified, N would be equal to 1.
Character pixels output by X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30 pass through bus 35 to Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38. There, the character pixels may be iterated on a line by line basis to expand the characters along an axis (i.e. the Y axis) perpendicular to the axis of expansion by X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30. Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 includes a plurality of line buffers 39-1, 39-2, 39-8 for temporarily storing each line of character pixels pending output thereof to bus 45. In the example described Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 has 8 line buffers, one for each line of character pixels that comprise the 8�8 character pattern. It will be understood that the number of line buffers may change with different character patterns.
The number of times each line of character pixels is iterated is controlled by a CONTROL COUNTER 40 through lead 41. COUNTER 40 serves to count the number of character pixels that comprise a line, the number of iterations per line (i.e. N), the number of lines per character (i.e. 8 in the 8�8 pattern discussed), and completion of the last line. The number of iterations per line (i.e. N) is programmed via line 42 (SET) in accordance with the character magnification desired from a suitable controller such as a control console, computer, etc. Return bus 43 recirculates character pixels output by line buffers 39-1, 39-2, . . . 39-N to the line buffer inputs to permit line duplication where iteration is desired.
Character pixels are output by Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 to bus 45 and LINE SELECT MULTIPLEXER 46. MULTIPLEXER 46 serves to couple the individual lines of character pixels to output line 47 and an output device such as a styli type PRINTER 50, PRINTER 50 includes a plurality of printing styli 51 arranged in a row. When actuated following loading thereof, styli 51 print a line of character pixels on a copy material such as paper web 52. A suitable web advancing mechanism (not shown) is provided to advance web 52 in the direction shown by the solid line arrow, one line at a time. PRINTER CONTROL 53 controls operation of PRINTER 50.
While the output device is illustrated herein as a stylii-type PRINTER, other printer types may be envisioned. Further, other forms of output devices, such as copiers, CRTs, facsimile units, etc. may be contemplated.
Switching control of MULTIPLEXER 46 is exercised by COUNTER 40 through lead 58. A control line 59 from COUNTER 40 is provided to the output device, i.e. PRINTER 50 to synchronize operation of the output device with the bit structuring apparatus 10.
A suitable clock 60 provides pixel clock signals φ1, φ2 for clocking out character pixels from FONT MEMORY 12 through X and Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLERS 30, 38 respectively to PRINTER 50. Pixel clock signals φ2 are also input to CONTROL COUNTER 40 to synchronize operation of COUNTER 40 with the movement of character pixels through the bit structuring apparatus 10.
Referring now particularly to FIG. 2, a stepwise progression of the exemplary font character h is thereshown through the bit structuring apparatus 10. Character h is obtained by addressing FONT MEMORY 12 with the appropriate addressing code. The output of FONT MEMORY 12 to bus 26 comprises a binary level character pixel representation of the character h as seen in FIG. 2A.
Presuming that it is desired to double the character size, control signals from the system controller such as a control console (not shown) to control leads 31, 42 program X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30 and CONTROL COUNTER 40 respectively. As a result, the frequency of the character pixels output by X-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 30 is reduced by half, i.e. character pixels are discharged from CONTROLLER 30 at a rate 1/2 the rate at which character pixels are input to CONTROLLER 30 by FONT MEMORY 12. As a result, the size of the character h along the X axis is doubled, as seen in FIG. 2B. Buffer section 32 of CONTROLLER 30 serves to buffer the character pixels input by FONT MEMORY 12 until the pixels are processed in accommodation of the difference between pixel input rate and pixel output rate to and from CONTROLLER 30.
The character pixels representing the partially expanded character are input to Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38, each line of character pixels being loaded into the line buffer 39-1, 39-2, . . . 39-8 therefor. MULTIPLEXER 46 is pre-set to output the first line of character pixels in the first line buffer 39-1 to output lead 47 and PRINTER 50.
As the line of character pixels are clocked from line buffer 39-1 through MULTIPLEXER 46 and lead 47 to PRINTER 50, the character pixels are recirculated back to the buffer input through return bus 43. At a predetermined pixel count, representative of the total number of pixels that comprise the line, CONTROL COUNTER 40 decrements by 1. The aforedescribed process is repeated with the recirculated character pixels from the first line buffer 39-1 again output via MULTIPLEXER 46 and output lead 47 to PRINTER 50.
Following completion of the line, the control signal in lead 58 from COUNTER 40 causes MULTIPLEXER 46 to couple the second line buffer 39-2 to output lead 47. At the same time, the iteration count in COUNTER 40 is reset to 2, and the aforedescribed process repeated for the next two lines of character pixels.
The above process is repeated for the remaining lines that comprise the character to provide the expanded character shown in FIG. 2C having the same aspect ratio as the original character shown in FIG. 2A. When the last line buffer (i.e. 39-8) is emptied, CONTROL COUNTER 40 generates a signal (CLEAR) in lead 41 which clears line buffers 39-1, 39-2 . . . 39-8 of Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38 in preparation for the next character line. On reaching the last line count, MULTIPLEXER 46 resets back to one to couple the first line buffer 39-1 of CONTROLLER 38 to output lead 47 and PRINTER 50.
To permit non-coded image pixels to be input to the bit structuring apparatus 10, a non-coded data input bus 65 is coupled to line buffers 39-1, 39-2 . . . 39-8 of Y-DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLER 38. MODE CONTROL 66 permits selection of coded address data from serial data line 21 or parallel data bus 22, or non-coded image pixels via data input bus 65.
In addition to storing alpha-numeric characters of various fonts, FONT MEMORY 12 may also store various character tonal patterns such as the patterns 75 shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings. Where it is desired to generate patterns, the appropriate pattern 75 is addressed by a suitable coded address data. The selected pattern is output by FONT MEMORY 12 to X and Y DIMENSION SIZE/RESOLUTION CONTROLLERS 30, 38 where the pattern is selectively expanded in the X and/or Y direction prior to being output to the output device, i.e. PRINTER 50.
Additionally, by simultaneously addressing FONT MEMORY 12 and inputting non-coded text data via data input bus 54, pattern and text merger may be effected.
From the above, there is provided a relatively simple line and page formatting means allowing information and data pages to be presented to the same print head or other user. The information may comprise both coded and non-coded data from various sources such as CRT, facsimile transmission line, computer bit maps, scanning devices, keyboard, etc. Additionally, size variation is accomplished without the need to store characters of specific sizes thereby reducing memory requirements, character size control at the terminal is permitted, pixel continuity is regulated eliminating gaps in facetting and video viewing, pixel spacing is provided through memory without the need for program intervention, and selective call up of tonal definitions and text and imaginal data merging are permitted.
While the invention has been described with reference to the structure disclosed, it is not confined to the details set forth, but is intended to cover such modifications or changes as may come within the scope of the following claims:

- Published in Crime
- Add new comment
For the second time in months a mistrial has been ordered in the case of Keno Allen.
Allen was set to stand a new trial last week but during the trial due to an event which had arisen, the Judge ordered a mistrial.
Allen is charged with robbery, indecent assault and attempting to choke.
It is alleged that on the night of May 11, 2012, Allen pretended to be a police officer and then lured a woman into an alley where he robbed and touched her in a sexual manner.
The victim was walking along Main Street in the vicinity of the Commercial Court, heading to the Dove Restaurant when the incident took place.

thats exactly how my grandparents are xD
i think all eastern european grandparents are like this.. really awesome flash :D
You Do Good Job!!
I have never heard of Armenians until this flash. And I gotta say, this is definetly a good impression for me. An original concept with good voice acting and animation makes up a great flash movie anytime.
The story of this cartoon is very funny and realistic. I can imagine the possibilty of this kind of interview actually happening. I also like the theme song at the beginning and the end. Not only is this flash funny, but it also contains a lesson: Food Stamps are the Ultimate Currency for Bribery.
-Review Request Club: In Soviet Russia, Flash Review You.
Seems close to home.
This was a great flash. lol I think I share some of your experiences except with other members of my family.
While I'm no Armenian, I can immediately relate to this kind of family interaction. You've managed to capture it brilliantly, and the comedy and voice-work was superb. Having this comedic bit likewise accompanied by the excellent animation and impressive character designs was just icing on the cake. I really want to see more.
Very Good
Very good animation, i liked the transition between the languages.
Graphics were good as well.
Another nice animation.

TE SubCom said it has completed the U.S. shore landing for the Monet Submarine Cable, a 10,556km cable that will connect Boca Raton, Fla. to Fortaleza and Praia Grande, Brazil, where shore landings were completed earlier this year.
Monet is owned by Google, Algar Telecom, Angola Cables and ANTEL. The 100G-capable cable system will provide a low latency route from Brazil to North America with a minimum bandwidth of 60 Tbps.
"With our system supply partners at TE SubCom, we've seen tremendous progress on Monet in the past several months, making today's U.S. shore landing a very exciting milestone for all involved with the project," said Javier Emicuri, ANTEL's CEO and Chairman of Monet's executive committee. "Latin America has a connected population of nearly 300 million and there has never been a greater demand for capacity. We are seeing an increase in local and regional deployment of LTE and FTTH (fiber-optic) networks, along with state of the art data centers that will deliver high quality content (HD/4K) and cloud-based services. The demand for these services makes bandwidth vital for the entire region and we are confident that Monet will have a positive impact for decades to come."
"The design and deployment of a network as large and advanced as Monet is a very complex venture and each stage is carefully considered against a number of factors," said Chris Carobene, VP Marine Services, TE SubCom. "One of those considerations is the shore landing technique and its potential environmental footprint on the landing site. In the case of Monet, we used a horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technique that's designed to avoid sensitive beach crossings and eliminate open trenching. We are grateful to the Monet project leads for trusting in TE SubCom's expertise as we move ahead with these critical implementation processes."

Chris Brown has released the official video for current single "Sweet Love". It's always nice to get traditional R&B songs from Brown whose somewhat become the prince of dance music and when he isn't doing that he's spitting a few bars. This one's some good ole fashion baby making music. The video is nothing new but doesn't take away from the song, which is good. check out "Sweet Love".
So what do you think, are we feeling it?

In one of the key outcomes of the European Medical Travel Conference 2010 in Monastier, Italy, the European medical travel industry has announced the issuance of the "Declaration of Venice," calling on industry and government actors to cooperate and work together to help grow the medical travel industry.
The Declaration calls on providers to recognize the "right of citizens to travel for the purpose to receive access to or better healthcare services," the "need for global health systems to respond better to the needs of increasingly mobile citizens," and the necessity of "integrat[ing] better health and tourism services" through greater investment.
The Declaration was intended, in part, to reaffirm the rights of European citizens to travel throughout Europe and the world to receive the best possible medical care at affordable prices. The document stresses cooperation between all levels of the sector, including public tourism agencies, government actors, and healthcare providers.
Contributors to the declaration hope that the document's publication will help impress upon European politicians that the medical tourism industry is here to stay, and that it will encourage all players in the medical tourism industry to strive for greater value, safety, access, and quality in medical tourism.

The Mystery of Student Success (Not)
It is clear that, in any discussion of student success and retention in higher education, the conversation must necessarily emphasize academic quality and the overall student perception of their experience, which must be understood both with sound quantitative analysis and reasoned intuition.
Am I showing love?
I look back, past social media and easily bantered and shallow thoughts, to the core elements that bind and protect me. The first, and I think most important, is loving kindness. And it is that bit of thread that I have allowed to become unraveled.
Living makes it real.
I understand the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ as love generously and liberally given, tolerance of those who are different, kindness to the world and oneself, and forgiveness of those who oppose or hurt us. Jesus Christ tried to teach us to live with a spirit of caring that included everyone, embracing even those we perceive to be the lepers among us.
The Best Moments
"The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile." ~ Mihaly Csikszentmihaly
Knowing Success as an Authentic Teacher
But no matter what your occupation is, you have the opportunity in this life to create extraordinary learning experiences for those around you and, of course, for yourself. Never underestimate the powerful ties that bind leadership and learning together. Rooted in compassion, driven by passion and made real through rich interactions, teaching, learning and leadership are firmly embedded in the human experience.
Where Leadership Truly Resides
I am left with a great sense of value and compassion, of pleasure and respect, for those good souls who bring great passion, commitment and character to their workplace. I have some who work for me, who report directly to me. In so many ways I have learned from them the true meaning of leadership.
Chaos at the edges of the system
My role as a design manager is to create favorable environments of incubation, to stimulate innovation and enable the evolution and significantly, the realization, of powerful works. As a teacher, learner and leader, my focus remains insistently on designing processes based on human interactions, intuition and inspiration.
Believing in yourself
We are surrounded by noise. Not just the acoustic noise of urban or suburban living, but the noise of a thousand, even a million voices directed at us every day, every hour and every minute. A bewildering onslaught of voices desperately persuading us to purchase, donate or otherwise send money. So much fear and anger. The noise is deafening.
Remarkable Beauty
I can only say that to set a process in motion and watch it grow at the hands and hearts of highly creative people is a beautiful thing. And no matter how many opportunities I have had to do so, I have to admit that there is perhaps more magic than method to it.
The collaborations of a shared vision
The "collaborations of a shared vision" are not the top-down mandated policies of an entrenched executive bureaucracy. They are the collaborations of those closest to the organization's engine, the stuff of the organization's business, and are driven by the passion by committed players to get it done right. A well-articulated Mission provides not just the benchmarks for process and procedure, but also acts as the moral and ethical compass of the organization.

Joe Mahoney started at first base today for Triple-A Norfolk, but he was removed for a pinch hitter before his first at-bat.
Jamie Hoffman batted for Mahoney and moved to right field, with Ryan Flaherty going to first base.
Wilson Betemit underwent an MRI on his right wrist at 11 a.m., so it's possible that Mahoney is headed to Camden Yards in case the Orioles again need to use the disabled list.
Mahoney plays first base, bats from the left side and is on the 40-man roster, which makes him an obvious choice to replace Betemit.
Mahoney is batting .263/.317/.390 with 27 doubles, one triple, nine homers and 53 RBIs in 116 games. He's hitting .209 in his last 10 games.
The Orioles called up Mahoney earlier this summer and gave him one start against the Angels in Anaheim. He went 0-for-3 in his major league debut before returning to Norfolk.
Is the "Big Irish" returning to the big leagues? We'll know more a little later today.
