Guided by Voices Trailer (2000)
01 January 2000 10 mins
Stom Sogo was a brilliant media artist who left his native Japan for America while still in high school. He attended college in NYC and became a central figure in the mid-1990s experimental film community before returning home. GUIDED BY VOICES, a lyrically intense stroboscopic shock to the system, is quite possibly his masterwork. Featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, Sogo re-edited this piece a number of times before his untimely death at the age of 37 at his apartment in Kyoto.

In a generator, alternator, or dynamo the armature windings generate the electric current. The voltage is typically low, on the order of a few volts in the case of small demonstration models, but large research generators can produce hundreds of volts, and some systems have multiple generators in series to produce an even larger voltage. 14 They are unusual in that they can produce tremendous electric current, some more than a million amperes, because the homo polar generator can be made to have very low internal resistance. There are two common kinds of generator in use on bicycles: bottle dynamos which engage the bicycle's tire on an as-needed basis, and hub dynamos which are directly attached to the bicycle's drive train. Main article: Alternator automotive Motor vehicles require electrical energy to power their instrumentation, keep the engine itself operating, and recharge their batteries. A magnetohydrodynamics generator directly extracts electric power from moving hot gases through a magnetic field, without the use of rotating electromagnetic machinery. For example, in the 1870s Siemens used electromagnetic dynamos to power electric arc furnaces for the production of metals and other materials.

Comprehensive assessment is key to providing effective reading instruction
The FL Assessments for Instruction in Reading provide:
Learning to read is not natural for many individuals, who remain dependent on the skill, knowledge, and persistence of their teachers to acquire reading proficiency.
Drs. Louisa Moats & Barbara Foorman (1997)
The need for accurate assessments arises because of the enormous diversity in the rate of learning and level of literacy skills among adolescents. Because of this enormous diversity, a key to meeting our instructional goals is accurate assessment that allows teachers and schools to differentiate instruction according to individual student's needs.
Dr. Joseph Torgesen (2007)
Critical to Assessment AND Instruction
To promote authentic opportunities to use assessment to guide instruction;
To balance assessment for learning, with assessment of learning (Edwards et al., 2008)
Broad Screen
Broad Diagnostic Inventory
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory
3- 5 minutes
10-15 minutes per task
Time varies by student
Probability of Reading Success (PRS) scores (K-2) or
FCAT Success Probability (FSP) scores (3-5)
These probabilities were established based on analysis during test development with Florida K-2 and 3-5 students
85% or better probability of grade-level or above performance on the SESAT or SAT-10 or FCAT
16-84% probability of grade-level or above performance on the SESAT or SAT-10 or FCAT
15% or less probability of grade-level or above performance on the SESAT or SAT-10 or FCAT
The K-2 Broad Diagnostic Inventory (BDI) focuses on key reading components that relate to reading success
Comprehension - includes a fluency score, accuracy score, and comprehension score
Spelling – grade 2 only
A set of tasks that cover the range of developmental reading skills at each grade; they more precisely indicate the areas of instructional need based upon performance on the Broad Screen.
Students in the yellow and red Probability of Reading Success (PRS) zones must be administered the Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI)
A criterion of 80% accuracy is required to move on to the next task.
K-2 Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI)
* Optional
Letter Name and Sound Knowledge (K)
Phonemic Awareness (K – 2)
Word Building ( K, 1, 2)
Oral Reading Fluency (1, 2, 3-5)
The monitoring tasks replicate the format used in the Florida Assessments. There are 6 additional activities per task that will allow for 4-5 week intervals to monitor progress between the three assessment periods. Informal teacher assessment will likely occur during instructional time also.
Broad Screen/Progress Monitoring Tool
Reading Comprehension Task
(3 Times a Year)
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory
Maze & Word Analysis Tasks
(As Needed)
(As Needed)3 – 5 FAIR Assessment Types
If necessary
Required by all students in the LCSD
Students must have a set of headphones and a well functioning mouse to take the FAIR tasks via the WAM.
Broad Screen (BS): Reading Comprehension
Assists in identifying students who may not be able to meet the grade level literacy standards as assessed by the FCAT.
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI): Maze
Assists in determining whether a student has more fundamental reading problems in the area of fluency and low level reading comprehension.
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI): Word Analysis
Helps us learn more about a student's fundamental literacy skills--particularly those required to decode unfamiliar words and read accurately.
Broad Screen (BS): Reading Comprehension
If a student has a relatively low probability of success, it means they will need extra support for reading growth during the year, and the Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI) tasks are given as a follow up to get more information about the type of help that may be needed.
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI): Maze
If a student does well on this test, but has a low probability of success from the Broad Screen (BS), this means that they are likely to need support in the comprehension strategies, vocabulary, and thinking skills, but likely do not need intensive work to increase their basic reading skills.
Targeted Diagnostic Inventory (TDI): Word Analysis
Students who perform low on both the Maze and Word Analysis may need intensive interventions to improve their basic reading skills.
(Maze task of the Targeted Diagnostic Inventory)
Word Decoding/Recognition
Possessing adequate decoding or word identification skills to read words within connected text.
(Gough, 1984)
Knowing words under multiple contexts and with multiple meanings, as well as knowing how words are interrelated to impact meaning.
(Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2002; Nagy & Scott, 2000)
Using cognitive strategies to support reading (e.g., making inferences, predicting, associating ideas, monitoring understandability).
(Pressley & Afflerback, 1995)
Possessing prior knowledge about the reading topic in order to construct meaning from the text.
(Anderson & Pearson, 1984)
Accurate decoding of words in text.
(Gough, 1984)
Effortless word recognition that allows for attention to be allocated to other aspects of comprehension.
(Foorman & Mehta, 2002; La Berge & Samuels, 1974)
Understanding meaning prepares students to read other words related to that meaning.
(Jenkins, Fuchs, van den Broek, Espin, & Deno, 2003 )
Key Benefit: Analyzing the spellings of individuals can provide necessary information regarding the understanding and mastery of orthography, phonology, and morphology all in one assessment (Moats, 1995; Treiman, 1998).

Bathroom Insulation
I have a master bathroom area (5×11) that I am looking to remodel — new floor tile, shower tile, rebuild the shower, new toilet, etc. I will likely be replacing all of the drywall in order to eliminate 5 layers of existing wallpaper, etc. The bathroom currently gets quite cold (three of the four walls are outside walls) and I am wondering if I should consider applying spray foam insulation to better seal up the room, insulate, etc? If so, is that something that I can do myself using a spray foam kit, since the amount of square footage is rather small?
Spray foam is the best way to fix this issue. However the DIY approach may not be as in-expensive as you may think. The cost of this DIY product is around $1.25 per board foot. This is a 12" x 12" x 1" space. It adds up rather quickly. Add to that your delivery charges and the fact that you really do not get the amount of yield out of the two cans if conditions are not perfect It comes up to closer around $1.50 per board foot to install.
With prices such as this you can get this done professionally using closed cell foam for the price you purchase just the material for. So this if your willing to pay that price would be a much better way to go without having to deal with the mess and time to do the job.
Tiger Foam is one of the leading companies that sell foam kits for the DIY and professional alike if your still interested in doing it yourself.
If you decide because of cost not to go the foam route there are several things you can do to make the batt insulation better. That is to air seal.
The biggest robber of heat energy is air flow. Air moves through fiberglass insulation quite well. Improperly installed this can cause thermal drafts within the wall making the insulation perform less then desired. Also this can cause mold development as well as higher energy bills.
To properly install and air seal a wall you must seal all openings in the wall cavity before any insulation is applied. Using a spray foam from a can. Ideally the stuff that does not expand to much. Seal the spaces between the plywood siding and the wall joists. The seams between the plywood itself. Seal the top plate as well as the bottom plate. Yes those little gaps make a big difference on the ability of the insulation to do its job properly.
Once sealed using a Un-faced insulation. Install it so its flush with the surface of the wall. Cut slits in it where wires are so it surrounds them. Do not allow for any gaps. The insulation should fit snugly between the studs and top and bottom plates. Once all of this is complete you then need to install a six mill plastic vapor barrier. Be sure to tape all seams so no air or moisture can get around them. Using a caulking gun apply caulk along the bottom plate and top plate to seal the plastic to the frame. Once done you will be ready for the wall material.
The choice of batt insulation you choose also makes a big difference. There are many Eco friendly insulation available on the market these days. many offer higher R values and are dense enough to make a difference on air movement through the batt. So shop around in your area were insulation is sold. And choose the highest R value that you can afford.

The other problem is how it only notifies you of a new text once. I would love an app that gives me the option for a dialog box that asks "Are you sure?" every time I send a text to prevent misfires, and an option for the phone to make noise every 15 minutes when I get a new text until I check it. The confirmation box is more important. Anyone know an app like this?

– Comments (6)
America is radically transforming its economy. It is morphing from a credit based domestic consumption economy to a deleveraged savings economy. Unfortunately, America is not structured to be a savings economy and the change will be very convulsive.
There are few economies in the world like ours where practically the entire economy was based on borrowing and domestic consumption. If Americans didn't consume, there was not much left as very little was allocated to export or foreign tourism.
Between government and consumer spend, it probably represents 90% of our total economy. If government and consumers are not spending, practically everything slows to a trickle. We have already seen office sales in New York decline 90%, new home construction decline 80%, commercial construction practically come to a grinding halt as we end 9.09, new car sales decline 50%, same with steel and sales at Caterpillar's sales.
Without Americans consuming in America......there is really not much currently viable for most of us to do and make a reasonable income.
It is not too hard to understand, if most of us have jobs because a lot of us consume, few of us will have jobs if few of us consume.
Alstry told you that you would understand what MOAP was in 9.09....basically America's economy was one big Ponzi scheme where many borrowed and spent money to simply keep our entire economy going. And after 9/11, the banks were more than happy to assist, many trillions of dollars was freely lent each year stimulating every aspect of our existance.
In fairness, if we didn't borrow, our economy would have been in a depression years ago. But now, we have accumulated a massive and unsustainable amount of debt. The joke is the banks knew this was not sustainable because they were making bets that we would default through credit default swaps. If the banks were the sellers of the SWAPS, they simply refinced the old loan and added to the outstanding debt collecting the premiums from the unsuspecting buyers.
Last quarter banks made over $5 Trillion playing derivitives.
Now that the banks are no longer extending credit to many, our nation's revenues is evaporating and businesses are shutting down. Our debt is defaulting at record rates, bankruptcies are reaching record levels, and tax receipts are shrinking at rates never seen before. Teen umemployment is at rates never seen before and many are getting restless. You can see anger and tension rising across America.
All of this was very foreseeable.
Now you know, our economy was simply one big Ponzi scheme of borrow and spend....much of that borrowing was from money the banks really never had through fractional reserve banking. Now we have only a few trillion of savings and OVER $30 Trillion of NON FEDERAL debt.
With relatively small savings paying only 1% and massive amounts of debt costing 5-30%, it will simply be impossible to pay off the debt as interest costs suffocate the cash flow of the nation while credit extension continues to contract.
At the end of 9.09, you will realize the game is over. 50% or more of us really don't need to work in a deleveraged savings economy. Right now, the only thing keeping this ship afloat is government borrowing $2 Trillion per year and driving us and our children deeper into debt.
In the mean time, America is shutting down at an accelerating rate. Now our governments and hospitals are laying off or reducing the wages of millions of workers. Each time a worker is fired, it impacts other workers who lose revenues from spending slowing.
This process was inevitable and can't be avoided under the current government policy of Zombulation.......our nation is simply running out of money as credit, income, and savings is being drawn down. We simply cannot bailout out the banks and leave over $30 Trillion of debt burdening a shrinking economy where fewer and fewer are capable of spending. When most of the economy is dependent on many borrowing and spending, pretty soon, most of the economy shuts down when credit is cut off and savings is depleted.
Now you know the truth and the evidence is replete with examples from every corner of the country. The most objective is the rapidly declining tax receipts and evaporating revenues to our hospitals and clinics.
This will get worse...MUCH WORSE...and Benny B knows this because it is his policy causing the contraction. The policy is Zombulation. You simply cannot bail out the bankers after infecting our nation with a unsustainable amount of debt, permit them to make controlled bets that the debt would fail, and burden the society with tens of trillions of relatively high interest rate obligations that mathematically can't be serviced once credit is cut off and revenues evaporate.
Eventually as the money runs out, the vast majority of the economy shuts down as we are primarily an economy of domestic consumption servicing domestic consumption that can no longer consume. Conversely Japan, when things slowed domestically, was still a nation making relatively significant income exporting without being burdend with much private debt.
America is facing serious structural issues...unless we restructure debt, our nation will implode from defaults. Our government is very aware of this fact and doing little about it. Now the question is whether we will be taken to war to possibly distract us from this condition that Benny B is permitting to exacerbate and accelerate.
Based on the rhetoric...the odds get higher and higher everyday.
Welcome to 9.09...ITS TIME and NOW YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool, a fresh thread.
Nice read. Lots of formulations in there.
I am a newbie here.
""It is morphing from a credit based domestic consumption economy to a deleveraged savings economy.. Nice angle.I am currently getting other aspects clear to myself as you have allready seen.
Some people get annoyed hearing about how the banking system works, though not all of us.
A very sobering read.
Consumption is a funny thing. Look at health care. If all at once, everyone did the right thing - excercised more, ate better (whole foods, homecooked, no junkfood), no smoking, etc..), imagine the hit on consumption and on the economy in general. To me that is the wonderful silliness of the heath care debate. For all the money that is being spent, nobody really wants people to be more healthfull - it would hurt too much.
Is that all you want??
A burger??
You are easy to please. Some of us like to eat entire countries.
We need more like you.
And as if this wasn't enough:
"The joke is the banks knew this was not sustainable because they were making bets that we would default through credit default swaps".
They also know, though not entirley collectively (Not even many bankers have heard of or know of "the fractional reserve system of banking". FRB.), that when new Fiat is created, the fiat to service interest and charges is not created.
So it becomes impossible to service interest on existing debt without creating further debt.
And servicing of existing debt exascerbates the acceleration of the dissapearing dollar as well.
The whole finance play seems to be in this direction
The part where banks are all upset and paranoid, and so not lending seems very deliberate and brazen.
My ruminations seem to be revealing a disappearing dollar.

The youth movement has begun in Seattle.
The Mariners cut ties with two of their oldest players Monday, putting left fielder Milton Bradley and reserve outfielder Ryan Langerhans on the designated for assignment list.
Seattle then dipped down to the roster of Triple-A Tacoma to pluck outfielder Mike Wilson, 27, and outfielder Carlos Peguero, 23.
For Wilson it is his first call to the big leagues. Peguero was called up to fill the void in late April when first baseman Justin Smoak left for bereavement leave.
"We felt Milton was not part of our future and not part of our present," general manager Jack Zduriencik said in a conference call. "Therefore, the move was made."
Making the move with Bradley, 32, was expensive, as he is due to make $12 million this year and Seattle is still on the hook for that.
However, the Mariners were getting little production from him, and they were unhappy that Bradley had managed to be ejected from games twice in the last 10 days.
Bradley came to Seattle in a controversial trade that sent pitcher Carlos Silva to the Cubs. Silva was released earlier this year, so it wasn't a trade that worked out for either team.
Langerhans, 31, had a big spring to make the team, but in 19 games was averaging only .173 and he had been almost completely supplanted in center field by Michael Saunders of late, even though Saunders also is in a huge slump.
In parts of three seasons with the Mariners, Langerhans hit .200, but he did hit a couple of walk-off home runs.
The Mariners need some power, and they are hoping that Wilson and/or Peguero can provide it. Both have hit with power in the minor leagues.
Wilson, in particular, has hit some long home runs, but until now the Mariners weren't confident enough in the rest of his offensive game.

by Lorena Calma, founder of AHM
Daniel Fox tells us his stories through his adventures in nature. Whether its the undefiled images he captures through his lens, the breathtaking videos he creates or his insightful writings – he just simply INSPIRES. He is our featured WORLD CITIZEN.
I met Daniel a few years ago at a time of a crossroads in his life. It was his fiery personality that brought us together. I recall the photographs he took that he shared with me captured the intense presence of beauty in nature. I recognized the acute sensitivity as well as the passion he expressed through his photography. What's inspiring about Daniel's story is he braved to follow that spark that was still burning in him at a point of introspection to redefine his life as an adult & continues to do so to this day. Not too many people take that risk to listen to that inner voice, the higher SELF, that guides us all our lives & to shift our consciousness to truly living inspired lives that we sometimes lose along the way. We reconnected shortly after his arduous divorce during one of his visits to New York. I still remember what he said to me that time was that there was no going back to that old mechanical way of life he lived. He was shutting that door. He was not going to live a life that conflicted with his ideals. He has returned to living a life that made an indelible impact on him as a child.
What was the major event in your life that triggered a change in your path?
I think the question for me is – Is there anything that hasn't triggered a change in my path! Ever since I can remember, my path has been in constant flux, continuously altered and challenged. Steve Jobs once said that life is like a painting by numbers, only at the end does the image make sense. I was born in Quebec and most of my childhood was spent outdoors, knees in the dirt searching for critters and climbing trees. I would spend hours in the pool pretending to be a dolphin. My dream as a boy was to sail the world and study whales. When I first applied for university, it was for Marine Biology at the University of British Columbia. Yet, I ended up in Marketing at the HEC (Business School) in Montreal. I moved to New York and tried to make it in the corporate world for more than 10 years. I was always able to get the jobs but my heart was never into them. I was neither motivated by the money, stability or status they brought and quickly I would loose interest and move on. It was an unsuccessful marriage and adverse separation that forced me to reevaluate my life. I looked at my last 15 years and realized I didn't want my next 15 to be even remotely close. So I sold everything I owned, created a sponsorship proposal, got the gear that I needed and headed South. This is when I created the Wild Image Project. Even though my heart is in the right place, my path continuously changes. That is the simple nature of life.
What is currently defining your present & molding your future?
My present and future is rooted in my belief in the power of nature to restore the human spirit. Whether through my stories, my photography, my videos or my efforts in sending youth to wilderness immersion camps, my message is always the same – that our humanity and happiness lies in welcoming back nature into our lives. That its teachings hold the secrets to our survival and evolution. That one of its most precious gifts, humility, is at the foundation of a peaceful and harmonious world.
How do you see 2015?
My goal with 2014 was to create a momentum with my work and that is precisely what I did. Now for 2015, I plan on expanding and maintaining that momentum. There will be a lot more public speaking, working with the youth, more photography and videos. There are so many wild places to capture. I am currently working with San Francisco-based designer and master calligrapher, Nobuhiro Sato, on a beautiful collection of products that will include t-shirts, merino hoodies, mugs, greeting cards, tote bags, water bottles and more. The branding identity finds its inspiration in the simplicity of a brush stroke to illustrate the purity and serenity of nature. The collection will soon be available through my online store
On a more global scale, I see a return to stronger and more human values for 2015. I'm witnessing a lot of people consciously setting days in the week without phones or TV. People do prefer real books and not just digital copies. Fast Food has reached a plateau and citizens are demanding healthier choices. It brings me hope to know that despite all the hype in technology, we are still seeking what truly is real, what we can touch and connect with. Despite the glamorization of individuality, what we care about in the end, are the people around us. We are realizing that humans are more than a series of zeros and ones. This for me is Life. It is Nature and it brings me hope.
Future events & projects for 2015?
There is so much to discover here in North America. I am focusing on exploring this part of the Americas and Canada. I will be spending a couple of months in Baja California. Spring in British Columbia. Summer in Alaska. I am planning on finishing my long Pacific Coast paddle in August. Then Fall in Montana, Utah and Wyoming.
I'd like to end this article by quoting Steve Jobs as did Daniel. A man who has changed the course of our history because of his relentless belief & pursuit to live his life in his own terms, in a way that was truly inspiring to him. This message was from his commencement speech to the graduating class at Stanford University. "You've got to find what you love. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle." I came across this video in youtube during a crossroads in my life and found it to be truly inspiring. You don't need to be at this point in your life to find wisdom in his words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFi4zNJ7AxQ
For those who have not seen it, I recommend to watch this insightful speech. For those who are still searching, don't lose faith. There is something good in what seems to be failures. You may not see it now but time will reveal it.

This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/746,721, filed May 8, 2006, entitled "Illuminated Helmet."
The present invention relates to a protective helmet incorporating an illumination system, and more specifically a sensor-activated illumination system.
Protective helmets are worn for protecting a wearer's head in performing many different activities. Activities may include construction work, bicycling, riding a motorcycle or participating in athletic activities. In addition to protecting a wearer's head from damaging impact, a helmet may serve the safety function, increasing the wearers visibility under all conditions; day or night, rain or fog. Reflectors have been used as a low-cost visibility aid. However, reflectors are passive devices. Their efficacy is affected by the nature of the illumination source, the angle of incidence and the position of a viewer and have little to no effect during the day. Helmets have been provided with active illumination sources such as bulbs, or more recently light emitting diodes ("LEDs").
One prior art illuminated helmet is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,743,621. A helmet includes first and second LED modules that are mounted at the front and at the back of a helmet respectively. The helmet has a chin strap fitted with snap together connectors which operate as a switch to turn the assembly on when joined to secure the helmet to a user's head. The wiring used to control the on/off state of the LED modules must extend outside of the helmet into the chin strap. Wiring cannot be contained within a module inside the helmet, and is subject to mechanical stresses associated with using the chinstrap and holding the helmet to the user's head. The LED modules are on or off. They are not capable of providing additional intelligence and are prone to failure.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,416,675 discloses a moving illuminated display for a helmet, disposed upon the rear thereof. The display is mounted on a module which adheres to the exterior of the helmet, as by a hook and loop (e.g., Velcro) fastener. The illuminated display is provided by a series or matrix of light emitting diodes mounted to the module. Controlling electronic circuitry, a battery cell, and one of two actuating switches are also located on the module. One actuating switch, located within the helmet and connected to the module by a cable, is a contact responsive switch which is tripped when the user dons the helmet. The other switch, mounted to the module, is a light sensor, which is exposed to ambient light and is responsive to fading daylight. The module is attached to an otherwise conventional helmet. The module is not integrated with the helmet design, and only emits light from the location at which the module is attached and not from an entire periphery of the helmet. A contact switch is placed inside the helmet to be tripped by the user's head. The contact wiring must extend from the switch to the module. A flat wiring cable is consequently exposed on the inside of the helmet and the outside of the helmet, and is not protected by helmet structure. In addition, it is questionable from a safety stand point to place a foreign object directly against the head within the helmet.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,871,271 discloses protective headwear having at least a hard-shell outer layer and a protective shock-absorbing layer. At least one LED illumination arrangement is fitted into recesses in the protective layer and visible through an at least partially transparent area of the hardtop shell in any desired pattern or combination of lighting elements. A control circuit, in the form of a multiple function integrated circuit controller, controls the on/off times and sequences for individual LEDs which are switchable so as to achieve any desired combination of special effects. The special effects include timing the illumination of discrete LEDs. However, an illuminated matrix capable of providing selectable information or patterns is not disclosed. The on/off switch is housed in a cavity at an upper surface at the front of the helmet. A user must focus attention on the structure housing the on/off switch in order to operate it. The on/off switch cannot be operated with a minimal amount of attention. In addition, the described lens will actually decrease the intensity (density) of the light by spreading the same amount of light across a larger area. The mass presented described lens also decreases the safety by creating a large mass which can be driven through the protective foam upon direct impact.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,157,298 discloses a helmet having directional signals, a brake light and other circuitry, AM/FM radio, and two-way communication capabilities. The illumination circuitry does not include means for producing flashing patterns of LED signals to enhance visibility of a user.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,758,947 discloses an illuminated safety helmet including a protective core and a substrate, which may be an impact resistant shell, disposed on the protective core. A plurality of light emitting diodes and traces for electrically connecting the light emitting diodes are disposed on the substrate. While the LEDs are included in a modular unit including control circuitry, discrete LEDs are provided rather than LEDs cooperating in a matrix.
Prior art illuminated helmets, particularly bicycle helmets, are constructed as consumer apparatus rather than as professional instrumentation. The illumination system battery power supplies do not include power conditioning circuitry. Weatherproofing is not a design requirement. However, the above-cited '271 patent, for example, suggests that such helmets may be worn by policemen. Police require high reliability, high performance equipment. In foreseeable scenarios, their lives may depend on the reliability of their equipment. However, the prior art has not recognized the need for high reliability in illuminated helmets.
Prior art designs generally require a helmet design based on inclusion of a control system. The designs are not adapted to fit into preexisting helmet designs. The placement of and shape of solid sections and apertures in many helmet designs is selected to provide specific performance characteristics in terms of absorbing impact, transmitting force from one part of a helmet to another, lessening total weight and providing ventilation. The helmet design may also comprise a distinctive style of commercial significance. Prior art systems have not been provided with integrated illumination systems into existing helmets without compromising their function or style.
Additionally, what is needed is a helmet with an automated sensor that lacks mechanical parts so as to reduce the risk of injury to a user in an accident and eliminate the need to manually turn the lights on before use. Further, an improved layout and illumination pattern of the lights is needed to protect the lamps from damage, increase the visibility of the helmet, and protect the user from injury from the lamps in an accident.
The present invention solves the aforementioned problems and provides for the aforementioned needs by providing an illuminated helmet with a plurality of lamps positioned in at least one recess in the helmet to reduce the risk of damage to the lamps and prevent the lamps from injuring a user during an accident. It is also build with surface mount technology ("SMT") to minimize the thickness and reducing the overall mass; the two factors necessary to maximize safety by reducing the likelihood of the components being driven through the protective foam and into the head. The illuminated helmet also provides specific recesses for the lamps and other components located in a non-impact area of the helmet to further reduce the risk of injury from the components and lamps in an accident. Furthermore, the illuminated helmet provides a proximity sensor mounted within the helmet that lacks mechanical parts and automatically activates the lamps when the helmet is worn by a user, improving the safety and reliability of the proximity sensor and the overall helmet. The lamps are arranged in such a manner as to be visible to a viewer from any angle, and the flashing patterns of the lamps are uniquely programmed to draw the attention of the human eye.
In one embodiment of the present invention, an illuminated helmet comprises a helmet structure with an outer shell and an inner core, wherein the helmet structure is further divided into an impact area and a non-impact area; at least one recess in the helmet structure; a plurality of lamps positioned in the recess of the helmet structure; a controller connected with the plurality of lamps to operate the lamps; a proximity sensor connected with the controller to activate the controller and lamps upon detection of a proximity; and a power source connected with the controller to provide power to the controller, sensor and lamps.
In a further embodiment, the outer shell is a thin layer of plastic, and wherein the inner core is compressible, impact-absorbing foam.
In a further embodiment, the recess in the helmet structure is an aperture between the outer shell and the inner core.
In a further embodiment, the lamps are light-emitting diodes ("LEDs").
In a further embodiment, the LEDs are arranged in groups within the recesses such that the groups of LEDs project light from the helmet in substantially all directions.
In a further embodiment, the groups of LEDs are mounted upon a flexible base.
In a further embodiment, a transparent protecting layer covers the lamps.
In a further embodiment, the transparent protecting layer is clear plastic.
In a further embodiment, the lamps are positioned on the non-impact area of the helmet.
In a further embodiment, the controller is printed on a flexible circuit board.
In a further embodiment, the controller is a complex programmable logic device.
In a further embodiment, the proximity sensor is an electrode that can be positioned on the outside of the protective foam and detect a change in capacitance when a user puts on or removes the helmet, and wherein the proximity sensor sends an appropriate output signal to the controller when the change in capacitance is detected.
In a further embodiment, the power source is a battery.
In a further embodiment, the controller and power source are mounted upon the non-impact area of the helmet structure.
The object of the present invention is to provide an illuminated helmet with improved design, visibility and safety. The present invention provides an illuminated helmet with a plurality of lamps positioned in at least one recess in the helmet to reduce the risk of damage to the lamps and prevent the lamps from injuring a user during an accident. It is also build with surface mount technology ("SMT") to minimize the thickness and reducing the overall mass; the two factors necessary to maximize safety by reducing the likelihood of the components being driven through the protective foam and into the head. The illuminated helmet also provides specific recesses for the lamps and other components located in a non-impact area of the helmet to further reduce the risk of injury from the components and lamps in an accident. Furthermore, the illuminated helmet provides a proximity sensor mounted within the helmet that lacks mechanical parts and automatically activates the lamps when the helmet is worn by a user, improving the safety and reliability of the proximity sensor and overall helmet. The lamps are arranged in such a manner as to be visible to a viewer from any angle, and the flashing patterns of the lamps are uniquely programmed to draw the attention of the human eye.
In one aspect of the invention, as illustrated in
The structure of the outer shell 104 may be resolved into a plurality of ribs 107 and apertures 109. The design of the rib and aperture pattern may be both functional and ornamental. Ribs 107 are designed to bear the brunt of expected impacts. Apertures 109 may provide ventilation. The helmet 100 may also be aerodynamically shaped. Additionally, various manufacturers have developed distinctive shapes and rib patterns for their helmets. In the embodiment of
In a further aspect of the present invention, as illustrated in
In one embodiment of the invention, the lamps 108 are mounted upon a flexible base 118, as illustrated in
Interconnections between the components of the illuminated helmet are provided by various cables. The sensor 122 is actually a thin copper ribbon, which provides a safe option for implementing the sensor into the helmet, as it poses almost no risk of impacting into the user's head during an accident. A ground plane (not shown) is provided to complete a field circuit for the sensor 122. The ground plane may comprise copper electrodes spaced from the sensor 122. Most conveniently, the ground plane will be located on an inner surface of the inner core 124.
In an additional embodiment, a second sensor 123 (see
The inner core 124 is a shock-absorbing layer. The outer shell 104 is a hard, protective layer. The inner core may be made of slow recovery viscoelastic polymeric foam which allows the material to deform under impact, dissipating a large amount of energy, and return slowly to the original shape with its substantially original mechanical properties. The outer shell 104 may be made of a reinforced thermoset resin, the resin preferably being vinylester, polyester, epoxy, or other known thermoset resin. The thermoset resin may be reinforced with reinforcing fiber, e.g., glass fiber or Kevlar.
The term "lamp" is used here to describe any illumination source. In many embodiments, the lamp 108 will most conveniently comprise a light emitting diode ("LED"). Incandescent lamps and solid-state lasers could also be used. In one preferred form, size T1-3/4 LED's are utilized. In another embodiment, 2 millimeter LEDs are used and applied using surface mount technology ("SMT") to keep the thickness low. In order to provide a good level of brightness versus required power, a white LED having a nominal level of brightness 3,000 mcd (millicandelas) with approximately a 20-degree viewing angle is selected. A smaller viewing angle creates brighter LEDs since the light is concentrated within a smaller pattern. The T1-3/4 package is readily usable in the structures described below. Other LEDs could be used in the alternative as well as other forms of lamps.
The controller 114 is powered by a power source 116. The power source 116 may take a number of forms, for example a battery, hydrogen fuel cell, or other DC power source. The battery may be replaceable or rechargeable, or could be customized to fit the specific needs of the helmet. The power source 116 interfaces with a power terminal (not shown), which may further comprise a battery container in addition to contact electrodes. A power cable 120 connects the power source 116 to the controller 114. A number of conductors are connected to the controller 114 to various lamps 108.
A battery indicator display (not pictured) may be included in the non-impact area 112 of the helmet 100 to provide a ready indication of battery status to a user. In one embodiment, as depicted in the circuit diagram in
The battery can be a replaceable battery such as two AA size batteries, or a rechargeable battery that is built into the helmet structure. One advantage of using replaceable batteries is that if a user notices the batteries are low and is not in a location where charging the batteries is possible, the batteries can simply be replaced. In a typical arrangement of LEDs such as the one depicted in
To conserve power and battery life, the lamps 108 can be programmed to illuminate in sequence instead of simultaneously, using PWM if necessary to even dim the lights down, thereby reducing the total power needed at any one point in time to illuminate the lamps 108. Preferably, the controller 114 is programmed to have lamps, or pairs of lamps, for example, be energized in a sequence. When the lamps 108 are energized, they are intermittently energized to cause them to flash. A flashing pattern within LED array banks is advantageous since flashing an LED uses significantly less battery power than continuous illumination. In one embodiment, the flash period and repetition rate of LED illumination are programmed to provide for a tenfold reduction in power compared to continuous illumination. Since LEDs are energized in sequence, the illusion of a moving point of illumination is created. Motion of the illumination point enhances perception of viewers, rendering a user more highly visible to drivers in the user's vicinity. Alternating the on/off state of a currently selected LED further enhances visibility.
Timed patterns may be used. Alternatively, the lamp flashing patterns may be used as right and left turn signals. Many other patterns could be selected. In one embodiment, the flashing patterns can be timed according to known studies on light patterns that capture the attention of the human eye, such as the Blondel-Rey equation (A. Blondel and J. Rey, Sur la perception des lumieres breves a la limite de leur portee, Journal de Physique, Vol. 1, p. 530 (1911).
The electrical system further comprises a controller 114 to which connections are made from the lamps and other components of the illuminated helmet. In one embodiment, the controller 114 is a complex programmable logic device ("CPLD"), which can be programmed to operate to the lamps 108 and coordinate other functions, such as the sensor and battery level indicator. Other types of integrated circuits could be used; for example, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a micro-controller unit, or a circuit of discrete components.
Additionally, a sound unit may be provided to signal changes in the on/off state of the lamps 108. A sound will enable a user to sense a change of state when the helmet 100 is on a user's head and the lamps 108 are not visible to the user. In one embodiment the sound unit is a piezoelectric speaker that requires minimal space and power to achieve a desired sound effect. Additionally, the sound unit could be replaced with a small vibration device to indicate the state of the lamps 108. The sound unit or vibration device can also be activated to provide the user with additional information, such as when the batteries are low. The circuit diagram of
A translucent cover panel (not shown) may be placed over the lamps 108 for protection from the elements or to provide a color filter. Different colors may be used for different purposes. For high visibility, the cover panel could be yellow. For law enforcement applications, the cover panel could have a color corresponding to that of flashing lights used by peace officers. For example, the cover panel would be red for use in New York or blue for use in California.
In this embodiment, a battery status indicator 152 monitors an input voltage level supplied by the power source 116. When input voltage falls below a predetermined threshold, e.g., 2.0V, the battery status indicator 152 provides an output to the DC-to-DC power regulator 150 and the controller 114 to disable operation. The output of the DC-DC power regulator 150 consequently goes to zero. This operation keeps the power regulator 150 from attempting to regulate when the battery level is insufficient to supply an output that can be converted to the constant voltage output level.
The controller 114, as described above is preferably a CPLD. The controller 114 may be programmed to produce preselected light patterns once the lamps 108 are activated. The lighting patterns may be modified by reprogramming the controller 114, and rewiring or adjustment of controls is not necessary.
The proximity sensor 122 is connected with a feedback indicator 156 in one embodiment. As described above, a separate lamp, sound or vibration device can be used to indicate to a user when the lamps 108 of the helmet are illuminated.
To manufacture an illuminated helmet according to one aspect of the present invention, an in-mold process is disclosed. Unlike the traditional helmet manufacturing process of simply taping the outer shell to the inner core, the in-mold process provides for inserting a pre-molded shell into a helmet mold and then filling the mold with hot, high pressure foam. Once it cools, the foam is taken apart and the outer shell and inner core are now one piece. The shell now looks and feels like it is a solid piece because the foam welds itself to the shell. Now that the shell is attached to the foam, it makes the entire helmet stronger and very sturdy. By laminating and bonding them together, it makes it possible to support many recesses and apertures, and gives the helmet a contour to closely matches the shape of a user's head.
To specifically manufacture an illuminated helmet of the present invention, a process is used to attach the electrical components to the outer shell before the foam inner core is filled in. The components, such as the sensor, power source, controller, and lamps are all affixed to the outer shell. Once the foam is filled in to the outer shell and cooled, the components are a fixed part of the helmet and no external wires or connections between the components are visible.
Embodiments of the present invention provide for an effective and efficient lighting system integrated in a helmet. The present subject matter being thus described, it will be apparent that the same may be modified or varied in many ways. Such modifications and variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present subject matter.

Christmas boxes axed by Cadbury
Cadbury is cancelling its Christmas box delivery of chocolates to thousands of workers in a bid to save money, it was revealed today.
The lavish box of chocolates, sweets and biscuits has been a Christmas tradition for generations of Cadbury's pensioners.
But it was revealed that owner Modelez International is bringing it to an end. Instead, pensioners will receive a one-off £15 gift voucher.
The move is to save costs, the company confirmed. It is thought stopping the Christmas box will save the company around £300,000 a year.
Mondelez formed when Kraft, the US company that controversially bought Cadbury for £11.7 billion in 2010, split in two.
A Mondelez International spokesman said today: "We understand this decision is unlikely to be well received but, as the custodians of the Cadbury Pension Fund, we hope members will understand we have a duty to make sure it's run efficiently."
"We face increasing pension costs at a time when the number of pensioners within the Fund is rising annually and it's simply no longer viable to send 14,000 parcels out each year.
"We have the long term interests of the Pension Fund at heart and made a commitment earlier this year to pay additional special contributions of £30m a year until 2019 to address the fund's deficit."

this album can be interpreted in so many transcendental ways it would be a waste not to share your deepest sentiments
this vs morbus chron?
apples and turds
its good how you can enjoy both ends of the spectrum jac shows you have integrity and exuberance
gotta admit tho the art is kinda cool

Album Rating: 4.5I have no idea what that even says.

Album Rating: 4.5lol it worked

Album Rating: 4.5maybe brazzers
Gave it a hasty listen and was not blown away. Def will listen again but for now I can't see why the love. Maybe a 3.
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffNice review.
Digging: Sorcerer - The Crowning of the Fire King
Thanks guys! I found it a bit hard to write about this album, but I'm glad the review came out alright.
FromTheInside- I'm glad to hear that, man. I think the other positive reviews of this album have covered most of the positive traits of the album (I.e.- how huge it sounds,) and my opinion of the record isn't something super overlong. I may not review metal in awhile, because I often find myself feeling this way when reviewing it.
Album Rating: 4.5metalsucks gave this a 5/5 calling it a modern metal masterpiece
Digging: Summoning - With Doom We Come
Album Rating: 3.0I want to love this album like I loved nomadic, but everything seems too forced here.
If you loved Nomadic, it seems to me that you'd get a lot out of this one too.

Hagfish, also called slime eel, any of about 70 species of marine vertebrates placed with the lampreys in the superclass Agnatha. Although most classifications place all hagfishes in the family Myxinidae, they are sometimes divided into two families: Myxinidae, represented in every ocean, and Eptatretidae, represented everywhere but the North Atlantic.
Eel-like in shape, hagfishes are scaleless, soft-skinned creatures with paired thick barbels on the end of the snout. Depending on the species, they grow to about 40 to 100 cm (16 to 40 inches) long. Primitive vertebrates, hagfishes have a tail fin (but no paired fins) and no jaws or bones. Their skeletons are cartilaginous, and their mouths are round or slitlike openings provided with horny teeth. The poorly developed eyes are buried under the skin, and there is a single nostril at the end of the snout. Five to 15 pairs of gills are used for respiration. The gill pairs share a common opening on each side in members of the family Myxinidae but open separately on the surface in those of the family Eptatretidae.
Hagfishes are found in cold seawater, to depths of about 1,300 m (4,260 feet). They live on soft bottoms, in burrows, and habitually lie buried except for the tip of the head. Their diet includes marine invertebrates and dead or crippled fishes. Sometimes, to the detriment of fishermen, hagfishes attack fish caught on lines or in nets, boring their way into the bodies and eating the fish from the inside. To deter predators, hagfish have special pores along the body that secrete copious amounts of slime. For this reason, they are sometimes known as slime eels.

My husband was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2007. He was doing well for about a year, then all the sudden things got out of control, and quickly. He had surgery and ended up with a colostomy bag. I think, naively, we both thought that would be the end of the disease--he'd have to learn to live with a bag, but he'd be able to live again. Well, here it is 9 months later, and he's getting sick again. He's in constant pain again (we use a rating system and he usually has a constant pain of a 3 but says now it's moved up to a 5). The pain used to just be after he ate, now it's all the time. He frequently throws up after meals (or dry heaves but manages to keep his food down) and he's started losing weight again. He's also bleeding again.
The doctor wanted to put him on Remicaide but is hesitant because he was exposed to TB as a child. Now he's seeing a lung doctor and they're running all sorts of tests, but it's taking so long. I know its good they're being cautious, but if he doesn't get on Remicaide soon, he'll be back in the hospital.
Does anyone have an experience being on Remicade if you've been exposed to TB? If he can't take Remicaide I don't know what we'll do :(

Blake Griffin Dunk
February 5, 2012 by staff
Blake Griffin Dunk, My buddy was in the building for one of those Halley's comet moments, when physics-defying athleticism warps reality and freezes time. And my buddy missed it.
Journalist J.A. Adande was retrieving his laptop in the press room, where he caught Blake Griffin's dunk live on TV. And as Clippers fans exalted with Richter scale reaction, Adande scurried out to the court, just to hear it. To feel it.
"And that buzz," he said, "lasted the rest of the game."
Griffin's dunk last week over Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins was the dunk of the season. Even LeBron James tweeted as much — and this was soon after LeBron literally dunked over John Lucas III.
One could argue that Griffin's dunk was the greatest dunk in the history of dunks. If you didn't see it — go see it! — here's the play-by-play account:
B Griffin flares off a pick he set and receives a bounce pass on the left side of the lane, parallel to the top of the half circle, the one that extends from under the basket.
B In one motion, he catches the pass and leaps toward the basket.
B Perkins gets in front of Griffin's elevating body and lunges forward with his arms up.
B In midair, Griffin ccks the ball back with his right hand while he cold-ccks Perkins in the face with his left hand.
B At its apex, the ball in his hand is more than a foot higher than the rim. Griffin viciously throws it at the rim — catching the rim with his fingers — and as he falls back to earth, his mouth is agape when he hits the hardwood.

Zane Grey's books shoot fast and straight from the hip, hitting readers dead center with thrilling action. His name has become synonymous with western adventure. Because of his killing speed with a revolver, Buck Duane has lived the lone-wolf life of an outlaw. Every day is a struggle against desperate men anxious to prove themselves—and a bigger struggle to hold onto his basic human decency. So when the Texas Rangers offer to deputize him for a dangerous undercover mission, Buck grabs it as his final chance for redemption. The trouble is, the odds are good that the mission will kill him. In books like The Lone Star Ranger and To The Last Man, Zane Grey takes readers to a time and place where men lived by the speed of their draw and the strength of their convictions. Narrator Ed Sala gives compelling voice to the lonely longing of a Texas outlaw.

Old-fashioned Western Well Told
- Teri-K
I have always been told that Zane Grey wrote the best westerns of this or anytime. I have read 3/4 of his books and listened to this one and am underwhelmed by the contrived and predicatble plots and story line. I have no problem with the telling of the story on this Audible book. In all honesty all westerns in this genre are predicatble- comboy rides into a hostile environment, always involving an attractive young woman, bad guys cause trouble for all the 'ggod guys' and the hero saves tha day, often single handedly.. I have read more than 20 of Louis La'More's books and most of them fall under the contrived and predictable comment.
The story detail was not great, but okay.
The telling of the story was good.
Comparing a book to the same presentation in a movie is tough! A well written script and acceptable 'stars' can elevate a mediocre book to a good movie and sometimes to a great movie.

Back On Track
June 24, 2004 | 9:03 A.M. EST
St. Amant took the lead on Lap 158 and led to the finish of the Miller Lite 250 presented by Texas Brand Sauce at Lake Erie Speedway, beating Benny Gordon to the finish line by 1.37 seconds to take the first ProCup win of his career.
"All year we've had a fourth- or fifth-place car, but we knew coming to the race tonight that we had our best racecar by far," said St. Amant, who took home $11,000 for his efforts. "I probably had the worst season of my career last year since I've been racing. We finished last season with a good second-place run [in ASA] and we started this season in the ProCup Series with some good runs. I wouldn't have been disappointed if we didn't win because this is racing. No, actually I would have disappointed."
There would be no reason for St. Amant to be disappointed.
After starting third, St. Amant stayed in the top five for the first 75 laps, running fourth behind Jeff Agnew, Johnny Rumley and Mardy Lindley.
Agnew, driver of the No. 73 NGA Hooters Tour Chevy, was able to sweep around the outside of pole sitter Rumley, who picked up $1,000 for winning his fourth Advance Auto Parts Pole Award, on the first lap to take early control of the race. Agnew and Rumley remained nose to tail and quickly distanced themselves from Lindley, driver of the Hooters Air Ford, St. Amant and Benny Gordon in the first 50 laps. The torrid pace set by the leaders took its toll on much of the field as the lead duo lapped up to 10th place by Lap 80.
St. Amant and Benny Gordon, driver of the No. 66 Predator Performance Ford, were able to cut into the margin of the race leader after clearing Lindley and moving into third and fourth, respectively. That margin was erased completely when Joel Kauffman and Sam Fullone tangled to bring out the race's first caution on Lap 84.
Rumley and Gordon chose to stay on the track as caution waved, but Agnew, St. Amant and Lindley all elected to come in for service.
The Bullet Racing/Jegs.com team's decision to bring St. Amant in under the first caution of the night ended up being the move that would eventually put St. Amant in victory lane.
"I wasn't too sure about coming in," said St. Amant. "It wasn't my decision; it was the team that wanted me to come in. I kind of wanted to stay out and pit later."
After the restart on Lap 90, Rumley and Gordon picked up where they left off at Salem, beating and banging for the lead. But this time it was Gordon looking for away around Rumley, driver of the No. 8 Lucas Oil Ford. The two exchanged the lead six times over the next 71 laps.
St. Amant restarted sixth after the pit stop, but he quietly crept towards the front of the field.
St. Amant reeled in Mardy Lindley and Jeff Agnew to battle for the third position by Lap 133. St. Amant cleared Agnew and Lindley, who both also pitted on Lap 85, to take over third behind Gordon and Rumley. With the leaders still needing to come to pit road, St. Amant knew the race was in his favor.
"When I got to third behind the cars that didn't pit, I kind of took it easy to save my car," said St. Amant, who led a race-high 93 laps. "Sure enough, they pitted, and we had a great racecar for the last half of the race."
And it showed, literally.
As many of the leaders' brake rotors began to glow cherry red, St. Amant's car would show no signs of stress in the last half of the race.
The race's second caution waved at Lap 155, bringing Gordon and Rumley to pit road. Agnew made an unscheduled stop under the second caution after experiencing brake problems in the middle stages of the event. Agnew eventually retired from the event on Lap 213 after leading 84 laps.
Gordon and Rumley, who restarted fifth and ninth, respectively, after the caution, made a mad dash towards the front in the last 100 laps. Grodon cleared Mardy Lindley to take over second place on lap 201, but the DuBois, Pa., driver was nearly three seconds behind St. Amant. Rumley charged to fourth by Lap 200, but he was 7.760 seconds behind the race leader. Rumley and Gordon needed a caution to cut St. Amant's lead, but it never came. The race was slowed only twice for 12 laps of caution.
Gordon did, however, manage to cut St. Amant's lead in half in the final 50 laps, but his first Northern Division win was not to be.
"I'll take second after the way the season started," said Gordon. "This was the first time we've run this car, and it's better than the other one. I just have to thank Predator Performance and the car owners that give me this great equipment. Our season is going to continue to get better."
Lindley was also able to rebound after being involved in a first-lap accident at Salem and finished the night in third.
"We tried some things different this week, and it was the wrong track to try it at," said Lindley. "The car just got way too tight in the second half of the race. But after the way things have been going, I'm happy with third."
Although Rumley took the checkered in fourth, the Winston-Salem, N.C., driver was also happy.
"The temperature gauge pegged during the first run," said Rumley. "We took some tape off and it went back down, but I think we hurt the motor. It was chugging at the end of the race."
Brian Ross, driver of the No. 42 U.S. Insurance Group Ford, never threatened for the lead, but he was able to finish fifth.

text: Once in a while I get a craving for a McChicken. I grew up in Los Angeles and was used to the plain McChicken. Last year I moved to AZ and *thought* they changed the McChicken to a Hot & Spicy McChicken and I did not like it at all. However, on a recent trip to LA, I stopped by a McD's and saw that plain McChicken was on the menu. I was so happy, I *thought* they changed it back because nobody liked it but this was not the case. Since being back in AZ I have visitied 3 different McD's and they all only have the Hot & Spicy variation. I'm wondering, does this vary by each location or the whole entire state?

"Looking at an Educational Approach Beyond An Eurocentric Worldview as We Move Towards the New Millenium." (Lehman College, Bronx, New York) Professor Chinweizu
Streaming Media
Asa G. Hilliard, III Papers
Document Type
Date Information
Playing Time
This video recording, dated April 27, 1989, consists of a presentation by Nigerian academic, journalist, and poet Chinweizu at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York. Professor Chinweizu argues for a shift away from the Eurocentric worldview, allowing non-European people to develop educational systems that view the world from their own perspectives. He focuses on several examples of the influence of "Eurocentrism" that need to be examined: the Humanities, the Classics, World History, World Literature, the Olympics, and the Nobel Prize system. Chinweizu asserts that all of these disciplines and activities assume a worldview shaped by Europeans. Following the presentation are two short interviews with Chinweizu, both from the same date as the presentation. The first interview is conducted by an unidentified man in a bookstore, and the second interview, conducted by Imhotep Gary Byrd, is a radio interview on New York station WLIB.

Unanswered: Events on Creating a New Record.
I have to admit, I suck at Access.
I am working on an old Access system which now ties to a SQL Server Database. I am in the process of making a replacement system but in the mean time I have to support the old one.
The Issue is that we have numbers that are generated based on the Fiscal Year. Some where in the code some one has hard coded the years and I need to update it. I checked for a Trigger (which is how I would have done it) and found none. It seems that the programer did it on some kind of on insert event in the VBA code. I looked at the VBA behind the NEW button we have on the form and all it does is the following.
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
So there is code some where that is doing the number generation when a record is added. I want to find this code, remove it so that I can code a trigger which is the proper way of doing it. The problem is I have no idea where to look. Can some one help?

Never mind, I found it. It turns out they setup an UDF and used a Default Value on the field.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetFiscalYear
@Date DateTime
-- Declare the return variable here
DECLARE @Result INT
SET @Result = DatePart(yy,@Date)
IF DatePart(m,@Date) = 7
SET @Result = @Result + 1
RETURN @Result
I changed the "=" to ">=" and problem solved. Thanks for listening.

This chapter describes the contents and organization of this guide - Developing and Administering Spring Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.3.
WebLogic Server supports the open source Spring projects when they are used in Java EE applications. This document describes the Spring features that WebLogic supports for use inside Java EE applications. WebLogic Server does not support any commercial products by SpringSource.
This chapter includes the following sections:
This document is written for developers who develop Spring applications and for administrators who configure and monitor those applications.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with WebLogic Server and Java EE application development.
This section, Chapter 1, "Introduction and Roadmap," introduces the organization of this guide.
Chapter 2, "Simplified Configuration for Spring Applications," discusses the preconfigured MBeans that you can use for dependency injection, with no special configuration required.
Chapter 3, "WebLogic Spring Security Integration," tells how to use the Spring security framework with the WebLogic Server security framework.
Chapter 4, "Spring Console Extension in WebLogic Server," tells how to enable the Spring extension to the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
Chapter 5, "Using WebLogic Server Clustering," tells how to take advantage of WebLogic Server clustering for Spring applications.
Chapter 6, "Spring Dependency Injection Extension to WebLogic Server," tells how to enable Spring support in WebLogic Server.
Chapter 7, "Developing Spring-Based Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server," provides examples of how to develop Spring applications for WebLogic Server.
For Spring documentation and other information about the Spring Framework, see
For comprehensive guidelines for developing, deploying, and monitoring WebLogic Server applications, see the following documents:
Developing Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server is a guide to developing WebLogic Server applications.
Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server is the primary source of information about deploying WebLogic Server applications.
Tuning Performance of Oracle WebLogic Server contains information on monitoring and improving the performance of WebLogic Server applications.
In addition to this document, Oracle provides a sample application developed using Spring. It is a Spring version of Avitek Medical Records (or MedRec) and is based on the original MedRec sample application, but it is reimplemented using the Spring framework. It is a Oracle WebLogic Server sample application suite that concisely demonstrates many aspects of Spring and WebLogic.
In this release of WebLogic Server, the Code Examples and MedRec sample applications are not installed by default. To run the examples and sample applications, you must select a custom installation of WebLogic Server and select to install the Server Examples.
WebLogic Server 12.1.3 supports the WebLogic Server/Spring integration features described in this document with Spring Framework versions 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 4.0.x (note that version 3.2.x is not supported).
Other versions of Spring may be used in WebLogic Server applications without using the integration features described in this document, similar to the way other open source technologies may be used in WebLogic Server applications. In such cases, Oracle does not support the WebLogic Server/Spring integration features, but does provide support for WebLogic Server itself, and does provide problem resolution assistance if WebLogic Server is not providing documented capabilities.
For a comprehensive listing of the new WebLogic Server features introduced in this release, see What's New in Oracle WebLogic Server.

Avenir has hosted a series of meetings with dealers at Wembley Stadium, in an event dubbed 'Match of the Day'.The meetings between dealers and O2 and Avenir executives took place during May and were designed to give dealers the opportunity to discuss business ideas.The 'Match of the Day' concept follows on from a similar event hosted by Avenir in October 2009.Dealers who were invited to attend the event were also given a tour of Wembley Stadium.Avenir MD, Andy Tow, said: 'This is an exciting new approach to joint sales and marketing in the telecoms sector. We sat and listened to our dealers, worked with them on their plans right there and then and they got started on their projects as soon as they walked out the door.'At the event Avenir identified a need for support in lead generation and has developed a programme that will give approved dealers direct access to targeted data.
