text: I have a PowerPC G4 (running 10.3.9) and a Logitech MX 1000 Laser. I've never had issues with the right click up to today. But, now every time I use it on the desktop or a file, it relaunches the finder. It used to give me the usual contextual menu over everything. It works fine in other programs. I've gone through all the configurations in Expose' and I have the right button selected as "Right Click" in the Logitech Command Center. I've upgraded to the latest driver for the mouse, trashed preference files, rebooted, etc. Any other suggestions?

Sort by:
I would like to know the approximate cost of having another 6.2l motor put in my 07 yukon xl denali, including labor. And a few parts.
Noticed about 1 week ago when I was driving at night. Had the battery and altenator checked and both by O'REILLY auto and both passed.
On the hood of my black GMC Yukon XL Denali, the paint is evaporating - turning white and spotty. I religiously park my car indoors and have it waxed 2 times a year. What the heck is happening? I've never owned a car that had this problem.
After multiple events of car dying AAA told us our battery was bad, so we replaced it. The battery is several months old and now it is beginning to die again. We just drove 6 1/2 hour drive to Idaho, after 2 days of being parked it died. We jumped it and drove home fine, now 2 days later it's deader than a door nail again. What does this sound like? Nothing seems to be left on...
(first try) My mech replaced the crankcase sensor. Didn't fix the problem. 2nd try he replaced the ignition switch. That didn't work. Tested the fuel pressure after it stalled and it was still warm - while trying to start it (40 psi) but would not start. When it cooled down we were able to start it and the fuel pressure is at 80psi. No diagnostic codes on his computer from these events
The remote key still unlocks/locks, just will not start the car anymore.
The display works for all other info displays just blank on the three listed. Is there a DIY repair for this issue. Happened one day at normal under normal operating conditions. No codes were thrown as I expected.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time.
Tester shows P0121 Throttle Body Sensor. Should I replace? If so, how difficult is it? Advice?

Keep in mind that we had a Super writer previously saying that he'd thought of Goku as holding back in that berserker battle, which lines up better with the most recent episode.

Then we get this episode with SSJ God Goku doing better against a controlled Kale who is said to be stronger than the Berserker one in the episode itself. I think this random holding back with no signs or reason for it is pretty bad, but considering what we're getting it does seem to be the case.

2013 Volkswagen Golf ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The fun to drive compact German hatchback returned to the North American market in 2010 to replace the Rabbit, a name that was revived in North America back in 2006 for the then new MkV hatchback version of the Jetta. The MkVI Golf is available in two-door and four-door bodystyles and can be powered by either a 170-hp 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder gas engine, or a 140-hp 2.0-liter TDI clean-diesel engine. Buyers that go with the gas engine can choose between either a five-speed manual transmission or six-speed Tiptronic automatic; while TDI buyers select from either a six-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed DSG auto with Tiptronic. Standard safety features on all models include, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, tire pressure monitoring and six airbags. TDI models are extra equipped with features such as sport suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels/tires, leather steering wheel and shift knob, touch-screen 6-disc audio system with SIRIUS and floor mats. For 2013, front and rear floor mats and front center armrest are now standard on the 2.5 models. Fog lights are now standard on the TDI models.

Claire Dobbs needed a job—and she needed it yesterday. But when the single mother of three arrived at Pine Road Ranch, she didn't expect to be greeted by six-foot-plus of scowling, growling cowboy….
After being injured in a bullfight, all Fletcher Kingsley wanted to do was slink home to Honeyford, Oregon, and lick his wounds. The former rodeo champ didn't need a housekeeper. He needed a wife! It was either that—or forfeit his beloved family home.
It would be a cold day in Honeyford before Fletcher ever got hitched. But having the pretty, spirited widow and her lively brood underfoot could change a man's mind in a hurry. Especially when sweet Claire started him thinking about home and hearth…and love?

This application is a continuation of abandoned application U.S. Ser. No. 08/033,943 filed Feb. 16, 1993, entitled "LOW BATTERY DETECTOR AND INDICATOR", which is a continuation of my abandoned application Ser. No. 07/416,703 filed Oct. 3, 1989, which is a continuation-in-part of my abandoned application U.S. Ser. No. 07/414,903, filed Sep. 29, 1989. The disclosures of said applications are incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an alarm circuit for a hearing aid, which can provide advance warning that the battery is approaching its end of life, and/or function as an increased-audibility alarm to provide wake-up or other-purpose alarm signals to the hearing impaired wearer. Unlike other increased-audibility alarms for the hearing impaired, the alarm circuit of the invention is private and not annoying to those around the wearer.
2. Background of the Prior Art
There are many low battery detector circuits on the market. These typically include a plurality of discrete components or are contained in a separate integrated circuit designed for that purpose, and typically operate in a binary manner: No output until the battery voltage drops below the detector threshold, then full output in the form of a warning light, series of beeps, or the like.
The prior art also includes arrangements particularly for testing batteries used in conjuction with hearing aids. Oticon Corporation manufactures a behind-the-ear hearing aid incorporating a battery test switch, with an LED readout, eliminating the need for a separate battery tester. A low-battery indication is built into the hand-held remote control transmitter used with Widex Corporation's "QUATRO" remote-controlled hearing aids to monitor the battery in the transmitter although not the one in the hearing aid itself.
This invention was evolved with the general object of providing a simple and effective arrangement by which the user of a hearing aid might be alerted to low battery or other alarm conditions.
Important aspects of the invention relate to the recognition of problems with prior art arrangements and the causes thereof. The space and circuitry requirements of low battery detector circuits of the prior art are such that they cannot be practically included in a hearing aid. In my aforementioned application, of which this is a continuation-in-part, a circuit is disclosed which is such that it can be incorporated in a hearing aid, having the important advantage that it can use the existing audio amplifier circuitry of the hearing aid for producing an audible indication of the low battery. That circuit has the additional advantage of providing a warning whose loudness and signal frequency progressively increases as the battery falls lower and lower below the preset threshold. It is quite simple and can be added to a hearing aid integrated circuit amplifier with little additional area required on the chip.
It is has been found that there are instances in which a user may desire to disable the warning signal until such time as he may conveniently change the battery, or in which the user may desire additional features and, in accordance with an important feature of the invention, the user of a hearing aid is provided with a manual means of disabling the low battery warning signal once it has been heard.
Another important feature relates to an arrangement with provides the user with the option of using the on-off switch of the hearing aid as the disabling switch, in order to avoid the additional space and expense required by a separate disabling switch.
A further feature of this invention relates to the provision of an automatic means of limiting the percentage of time the low-battery warning is audible, in order that it not become annoying before he has time to change the battery.
Still another feature of the invention relates to the provision of a wake-up or other alarm that is easily heard privately by the hearing impaired wearer, but which is not disturbing to those around him or her.
The invention also provides automatic means of increasing the audibility of the warning or alarm signal until such time as the hearing aid wearer signals that he has heard the signal and turns off the alarm.
These and other objects, features and advantages will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates diagrammatically a hearing aid which is constructed in accordance with the invention:
FIG. 1A is a block diagram of an alarm system usable in the hearing aid of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 show various forms of alarm systems usable in the hearing aid of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows a hearing aid 10 which is constructed in accordance with the principles of the invention and which includes a battery 11, on-off switch 12, microphone 13, amplifier 14, earphone 15, earpiece 16 for coupling the hearing aid output to an ear, and an alarm system 20. The battery 11 may be a battery of the disc type having a negative end engaged with a grounded terminal 11A and with a positive end engaged with a terminal 11B which is connected to the on-off switch 12.
FIG. 1A shows an alarm system 20 as in FIG. 1, which alarm system may include battery level detector 21, includes oscillator 22, and may also include disabling means 23, and timing means 24.
FIG. 2 shows one preferred embodiment 20A of alarm system 20 in which detector 21A contains a voltage dependent triple of current sources operating as described in aforementioned patent application dated September 29, 1989, and current-dependent oscillator 22A also functions as described in aforementioned patent application, with a switch means 23 connected to disable its operation. It should be understood that a low-voltage non-contacting touch-sensitive integrated circuit switch such as manufactured by Gennum corporation of Canada may be used as the switch means 23. It should also be noted that for purposes of this description the word battery will be used to describe both multiple-cell and single-cell power sources, the latter being more typical in hearing aid applications.
The battery voltage of battery 11 is determined by the power requirements of the battery operated device which uses it. While the present invention is in no way limited to the type of battery operated devices which would benefit from the use of the illustrated low battery detection circuitry, the operation of the illustrated circuitry will be discussed with reference to a nominal single-cell battery voltage of 1.3 volts D.C. This battery voltage is typical of batteries used to power hearing aids, the application in which the low battery detection circuit 50 is presently used. The illustrated circuitry, however, is not limited to hearing aid applications and may be used in any battery powered electronic apparatus whose utility would be enhanced by the operation of the low battery detection circuit.
The low battery detection circuit 21A is powered by three different voltage values, two voltages derived from battery 11 and the actual voltage of battery 11. Detection circuit 21A detects the difference between a regulated voltage and a reduced tracking voltage which tracks battery voltage as battery voltage decreases during operation.
In the present embodiment, a regulator 25 is used to develop a regulated voltage of 0.84 volts. This voltage level is chosen to be sufficiently below the minimum operating voltage at which the hearing aid effectively operates. This permits the low battery detection circuit to indicate a low battery state before actual device operation is impaired. It will be understood that proper operation can be obtained with a choice of regulator voltage somewhat different from 0.84 Volts, and the exact choice can be made depending on the nominal battery voltage, the desired low-voltage detection level, and other circuit requirements on the regulator.
The regulated voltage of 0.84 volts is developed from the battery voltage. The regulator input, indicated by line 25A, is connected through the on-off switch 12 to positive terminal 11B of battery 11. The regulator common terminal 25B is connected to the negative terminal 11A of battery 11 which forms a circuit ground. The regulator output 25C of 0.84 volts is connected to a line 54 which forms a regulated voltage input of a low battery detection circuit.
A line 58 forms a tracking input 58 of a low battery detection circuit and receives a reduced tracking voltage developed at common node 60 of resistor 62 and resistor 64. The reduced tracking voltage is derived from the battery voltage of battery 11. The anode of diode 66 is connected to positive terminal 11B of battery 11. The cathode of diode 66 is connected to one end of resistor 62. The other end of resistor 62 is connected to one end of resistor 64. The other end of resistor 64 is connected to ground. The reduced tracking voltage at common point 60 tracks the battery voltage as the battery voltage decreases during hearing aid operation. The values of resistors 62 and 64 are chosen such that the voltage derived at common point 60 is approximately 0.4 volts below the regulated voltage of 0.84 volts when the battery voltage drops to approximately 1.15 volts. It is the difference between the regulated voltage of 0.84 volts at regulated voltage input 54 and the reduced tracking voltage at tracking input 58 which controls the operation of low battery detection circuit 21A.
A supply input 70 of low battery detection circuit 21A is coupled through switch 12 to positive terminal 11B of battery 11. Supply input 70 receives the actual voltage of battery 11.
The low battery detection circuitry develops an output signal which is coupled through output 72 to amplifier 14. The output signal at output 72 is an AC signal having both amplitude and frequency characteristics which indicate the extent to which the battery voltage has dropped from nominal. This output signal reflects the voltage difference which occurs between regulated voltage input 54 and tracking input 58. As the voltage at tracking input 58 decreases with decreasing battery voltage, the voltage difference between voltage input 54 and tracking input 58 increases. This voltage difference determines the frequency rate and amplitude level of the output signal at output 72.
The illustrated low battery detection circuitry uses a three-stage oscillator driven by a voltage dependent triplet of current sources. The voltage dependent triplet of current sources includes three PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84. The current delivered by PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84 varies according to the voltage difference between the voltages at regulated voltage input 54 and tracking input voltage 58. The regulated voltage developed by regulator 25 is coupled to the emitters of PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84 through regulated voltage input 54. The tracking voltage developed at common node 60 is connected to the base of each of the PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84 through tracking voltage input 58. As battery voltage decreases the voltage level at the bases of the PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84 also decreases. This creates an increasing voltage between the emitter and base of each PNP transistor. This action increases the current flowing through the collectors of PNP transistors 80, 82, and 84.
An oscillator of the circuitry is composed of three NPN transistors 86, 88, and 90. The emitter of each NPN transistor is coupled to ground. The collector of each NPN transistor is coupled to its corresponding current source, such that the collector of transistor 86 is coupled to the collector of transistor 80 at point 92, the collector of transistor 88 is coupled to the collector of transistor 82 at point 94, and the collector of transistor 90 is coupled to the collector of transistor 84 at point 96. These collector-collector connectors provide the necessary current to drive the oscillator.
The oscillator is DC biased for stable operation by Schottky diode 98 whose anode is coupled to point 92 through a line 100 and whose cathode is coupled to the base of transistor 90 at point 102. A positive feedback capacitor 104 is connected to the collector of transistor 88 at point 94 and the base of transistor 90 at point 102. In the preferred embodiment, the value of capacitor 104 is 50 picofarads, a capacitance which is easily included in an integrated circuit chip. As shown, line 100 may be connected to ground through the disabling switch 23.
An NPN transistor 106 is arranged in an emitter follower configuration to supply an output signal at output 72 to amplifier 14. The collector of transistor 106 is coupled to the positive terminal 11B of battery 11 through supply input 70. The emitter of transistor 106 is coupled to output 72. The base of transistor 106 is coupled to the anode of diode 98 at point 108 which in turn connects it to the collector of transistor 86 at point 92 through line 100.
As previously stated, the frequency rate and the amplitude level of the output signal depends upon the voltage difference between regulated voltage input 54 and tracking input 58. This voltage difference is applied across the base-emitter junctions of each PNP transistor 80, 82 and 84. When the battery voltage drops to 1.15 volts, approximately 0.4 volts is applied between the base-emitter junctions of those PNP transistors which in turn supply approximately 2 nanoamps of current to the collectors of each NPN transistor 86, 88 and 90. This current is available to charge capacitor 104. As capacitor 104 is charged by the current provided by transistor 82, transistor 90 conducts. The conduction of transistor 90 causes point 96 to be essentially at ground. Since transistor 88 is in a cutoff condition, the current delivered to point 94 by transistor 82 is coupled to the base of transistor 86, turning transistor 86 on. At this point transistors 86 and 90 are turned on and transistor 88 is turned off.
Once capacitor 104 approaches a full charge, the current to the base of transistor 90 is reduced sufficiently to force transistor 90 into a state of cutoff so that current from transistor 84 flows into the base of transistor 88. Transistor 88 then conducts, forcing point 94 to ground and driving transistor 86 into cutoff. Now, transistor 88 is turned on and transistors 86 and 90 are turned off.
Since capacitor 104 has one lead connected to point 94 and transistor 88 is turned on, and since transistor 86 is turned off so that the other lead of capacitor 104 is receiving current from transistor 80 thru Schottky diode 98, capacitor 104 begins to discharge and then recharge in the opposite direction. Once capacitor 104 has recharged sufficiently in the opposite direction, transistor 90 begins to conduct using current supplied through diode 98. Once transistor 90 conducts sufficiently to absorb essentially all of the current from transistor 84, transistor 88 will return to the off state, whereupon the curent from transistor 82 will again be available to charge capacitor 104 in the original direction. At this point, both Schottke diode 98 and capacitor 104 supply current into the base of transistor 90. Once capacitor 104 has charged sufficiently, current from transistor 82 will flow into the base of transistor 86, turning it on. The circuit is now back to the state in which transistors 86 and 90 are turned on and transistor 88 is turned off. This cycle repeats, creating an AC output signal at the base of transistor 106, which is amplified by transistor 106 and coupled to amplifier input 74 through output 72. In the case of a hearing aid, an amplifier receiving the output signal is coupled to a receiver providing an audible warning signal to the user indicating low battery voltage.
As the voltage difference between regulated voltage input 54 and tracking input 58 increases due to reduced battery voltage, the collector currents of transistors 80, 82, and 84 increase. Since nearly 80% of the drop in battery voltage is applied to the base-emitter junctions of the current source transistors, the collector current approximately doubles for each 20 millivolt drop in battery voltage.
With an initial 2 nanoamps of charge current and the value of capacitor 104 established at 50 picofarads, charging of capacitor 104 takes approximately 10 milliseconds. Therefore, a complete cycle takes approximately 20 milliseconds setting the oscillation frequency at approximately 50 Hertz. In this circuit, a doubling of the collector current produces a doubling in the frequency of oscillation. The base current supplied to transistor 106 is also doubled. The resulting output waveform at output 72 therefore increases audibility for two reasons: first, the audibility at a constant sound pressure level increases rapidly with frequency above 50 hertz for most people with a hearing loss except those having extreme forms of hearing loss at higher frequencies, and second, the sound pressure level generated at the output of the hearing aid is typically more than doubled for each 20 millivolt drop in battery voltage because of the increased pulse current and the rising gain-vs-frequency characteristic of a typical hearing aid. These results produce a highly useful circuit function wherein even a 10 millivolt decrease in battery voltage will create a readily noticeable increase in the apparent urgency of the warning signal.
As mentioned above, the audible alarm of the present invention is heard privately (e.g., only) by a hearing aid use or wearer. In addition, as is apparent from FIG. 2 and the associated description, for example, the audible alarm and the audio received by the hearing aid microphone can be heard simultaneously by the user.
FIG. 3 shows a different variation 30 of alarm system 20 of FIG. 2, in which low-battery-detection circuit 31 enables a capacitor charging circuit 35 which is configured to retain charge on hold capacitor 36 long enough for the battery to be disconnected and reconnected quickly (by operation of the on-off switch of the hearing aid or by opening the battery drawer) while still biasing logic switch 37 so that it disables alarm oscillator 22A by providing a relatively low impedance path between output line 38 and ground 39 as soon as the battery is reconnected. In this manner, a manual shut off of the alarm is provided without requiring a separate switch in the hearing aid. It will be understood that any oscillator capable of being disabled by a logic signal may be substituted for oscillator 22A.
FIG. 4 shows an alternate embodiment in which alarm system 40, which may be substituted for alarm system 20 in FIG. 1, contains detector 21, alarm oscillator 22, and timer 23. Timer 23 may be a low-battery-drain watch-circuit type of integrated circuit which has been preprogrammed to periodically enable the low-battery warning alarm for a desirable period of time such as 3 seconds and then disable the low-battery warning system for a desirable quiescent period such as 10 minutes. Alarm system 40 automatically renders the operation of the low-battery warning system less obtrusive, while still accomplishing its primary function of providing advance warning of the impending end-of- life of the battery.
FIG. 5 shows alarm system 150 which may be substituted for alarm system 20 in FIG. 1. Alarm system 150 contains a watch/alarm means 153 such as is readily available in low-battery-drain digital watch circuits and can be set by means of setting switches 154, 155, and 156 in the usual manner, but whose alarm output 157 is amplified by the hearing aid in an amount controlled by attenuator 158. Attenuator 158 may be adjusted by the hearing aid dispensor or hearing aid wearer so that the alarm is readily audible to the wearer, regardless of the degree of his hearing loss, in order that he will not fail to hear the alarm. Setting the time and alarm may be accomplished in a conventional manner if a miniature watch LCD readout 159 and aforementioned push buttons 154, 155, and 156 are incorporated into the hearing aid case. It should be understood that the recent development of remote control programmers for hearing aids now permits the convenient setting of the alarm function by remote control, avoiding any change in the external appearance of the hearing aid, providing only that switch means 154, 155, and 156 are remotely programmed.
FIG. 6 shows alarm system 160, which may be substituted for alarm system 20 in FIG. 1, and which incorporates timer 163 with setting switches 154, 155, and 156 and readout 159, but whose output 164 replaces switch 23 of FIG. 2 in disabling an alarm oscillator such as alarm oscillator 22A as shown, so that only when an alarm signal is desired is output 164 in the enabling (effectively open circuit) condition.
The alarm system 160 also contains alarm oscillator adjustment means 165, with the variable resistance 166 adjustable so that in cooperation with fixed resistance 167 the base-emitter voltage of large-area PNP transistor 168 and thus the current supplied by current sources 80, 82, and 84 may be controlled, controlling in turn the amplitude and signal frequency of alarm oscillator 22A as described in the aforementioned patent application. In this manner, the output of alarm oscillator 22 can be adjusted by the hearing aid dispensor or user for optimum audibility to the hearing impaired user. The advantage of the circuits of FIG. 5 and 6 is that the hearing aid wearer will be able to receive privately an alarm which might otherwise be so loud as to disturb others.
FIG. 7 shows alarm system 170, which may be substituted for alarm system 20 in FIG. 1, and which incorporates timer 173 which in turn has two outputs, one output 174 acting as above to provide a timed alarm function, while the other output 175 acts to cause increasing audibility with time of the alarm signal. For example, if output 175 is programed so that every 10 seconds it provides a doubling in the control current drawn from PNP transistor 168 in alarm oscillator adjustment means 165 of FIG. 6, the audible output of alarm oscillator 22 will increase by approximately 20 dB in hearing level every 10 seconds until the alarm is heard, whereupon it may be disabled by the user with disabling means 23. With alarm system 170, no individual manual setting of the alarm amplitude or signal frequency needs to be made in order that all users will automatically hear the alarm sooner or later, regardless of their hearing loss.
It will be understood that modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the invention.

India's ethanolamines prices may continue falling as bloated stockpiles and poor demand are prompting producers to cut their selling indications, market participants said on 29 May.
Monoethanolamines (MEA) and diethanolamines (DEA) prices in the country fell at the high end of the range during the week ended 28 May, according to ICIS data.
MEA tumbled by $120/tonne at the upper end of the price range to $1,400-1,430/tonne CIF (cost, insurance and freight) India, while DEA prices shed $80/tonne at the high end to $1,400-1,500/tonne CIF India.
"The market is very weak. There is too much supply and too little demand. Prices are falling sharply," said one market participant.
Domestic prices of ethanolamines in India are also heading southwards, indicating a bearish market. MEA discussions in the local market largely weakened to Indian rupees (Rs) 93-96/kg ($1,578-1,629/tonne) EXWH (ex-warehouse) during the week ended 28 May, compared with Rs93-99/kg EXWH in the previous reporting week.
Domestic DEA prices also edged down to Rs98-101/kg EXWH from Rs98-102/kg EXWH over the same period.
Poor demand prevailed after India's general elections, which ended mid-May, because of excess supply built from hefty imports in the previous month.
India received about 1,500 tonnes of Middle Eastern DEA, as well as 700-800 tonnes of Middle Eastern MEA in April.
Ethanolamines have applications in agrochemicals, surfactants, personal care and construction. MEA is produced by reacting ethylene oxide (EO) with ammonia.
Market participants expect prices to fall further as the monsoon season, which begins from June to September, will curb agrochemical consumption.
Selling indications of Middle East-origin MEA in drummed packaging were at $1,400/tonne CIF India, while western drummed MEA were quoted at $1,430/tonne levels.
On the DEA front, offers of Middle Eastern drummed material stood at $1,400/tonne CIF India, with selling indications of western material stood at $1,420-1,500/tonne CIF India.

While the list of Indian, Pakistani, British, Australian and South African cricketers who will be appearing in Nikhil Advani"s Patiala House, which stars Akshay Kumar as an aspiring cricketer from London, is being kept tightly confidential, the name of legendary British cricketer Nasser Hussain has leaked out.
Nasser, who became the first captain of the English cricket team to be born of Indian and British parentage, is regarded as one of the most effective English test captains with whopping record-breaking scores in test cricket to his credit. The Times London called him 'the most significant cricketer to have played for England since the War".
Now Nasser will be playing Akshay"s cricket coach in Patiala House.
Reluctant to reveal much, director Nikhil Advani finally admits, "Yes Nasser Hussain is indeed playing my hero Gattu"s (Akshay) coach in the film. It wasn"t easy getting near him, let alone getting him to agree to play Akshay"s coach. Nasser has a fairly large acting stint in Patiala House as Gattu"s mentor and guru."
Nikhil Advani says he has gone through the most harrowing time in the past couple of months trying to get cricketers from the world over into his film. "Believe me, it"s far easier to sign the biggest of superstars from Bollywood and Hollywood then to get star-cricketers on board. And to co-ordinate their dates….my God! I don"t know how I survived!"
The director says the IPL matches in India made his task easier. "The IPL proved a blessing for me and Akshay. We got star-cricketers from all over the world at our doorstep, plus their managers and co-coordinators. I don"t know how I"d have managed if the IPL matches hadn"t happened in our country."
It wasn"t easy convincing Nasser Hussain to face the motion-picture camera for the first time. Nikhil Advani assured the 42-year old test cricketer that he wouldn"t have to act for the camera. Just be himself. Akshay will head for London next month to spend pre-shooting time with Nasser so that they look like guru and shishya on and off the playing field.
Sighs Nikhil, "Now begins the new phase of my struggle to get permission to shoot in England at major stadiums like The Oval and Lords."
Nikhil begins shooting the cricket matches for Patiala House in London from June 19.

Conference calls for just peace in Sudan
Delegates at the Sudan Ecumenical Forum assembly have welcomed the UK government's new commitments for peace in Sudan, but warned that a peace settlement must be just and lasting and not a quick fix solution. The conference on the 4 - 6 March in London brought together church leaders from Sudan and their world-wide church partners. Archbishop Joseph Marona, Primate of the Episcopal church in Sudan said: "Our people have suffered too long. As churches we welcome greater UK involvement and call on the British government to do all it can to secure peace with justice." Clare Short, the Secretary of State for International Development addressed the delegates: "There are currently the conditions to achieve a peace deal in Sudan and no reason why we should not try. It is fantastically important that we try to end this war." Making their position clear the delegates outlined three key issues that the UK Government and international partners must address if a just and lasting peace is to be achieved. Since 1999, the churches of southern Sudan have systematically documented bomb attacks on civilians by the government of Sudan. Recent reports have revealed an increase in attacks on civilians using helicopter gun ships. The delegates called on the international community to pressure the government of Sudan to put an immediate end to the bombings and other attacks on civilians. Research, particularly in the last two years, has shown the oil business has aggravated the suffering of civilians, especially in the oil producing areas. Delegates confirmed the Sudanese churches position that oil exploration must be suspended until there is a just and sustainable peace and agreement has been reached for the equitable sharing of resources. The Sudanese church echoed the voices of the suffering people of Sudan to call on all the political leaders to ensure that any peace settlement includes the rights of the southern Sudanese and other marginalised people to determine for themselves how they should be governed. Delegates also re-affirmed the churches' position that slavery and abduction are the result of the on going conflict and therefore must be ended through a political settlement.

Best Hotel in Cusco with some nice surprisesPosted Jan 23, 2016 on Hotels
This could be the best service I have had in my life, even relative to luxury chains such as the Four Seasons. We picked it because it was ranked #1 on T.A., and it did not disappoint. In additional to being a fantastic suite in a great, central location, the hotel provided many additional unexpected treats like a free mini bar stocked daily, plus a free private bar stocked with Pisco and Rum, take what you like. There were a number of other nice surprises as well. The only room for improvement, in my opinion, is that a lot of the optional services or features, such as the restaurants, were very expensive. Given that we were there in the off season and had the place almost to ourselves, the hotel would have got more of our money by lowering prices slightly... There are many exceptional restaurants nearby that were half or less the price. The included breakfast was different, interesting, and of exceptional quality; their restaurant is good. But this is a hotel review, not a restaurant price review. We really did not want to leave the hotel, ever. Book this place, then decide for yourself if the restaurant is too pricey and eat elsewhere... or call me a cheapskate and enjoy it.

Dear Vancouver, Thank you for commenting, very interesting. As with all your praises, you are absolutely right on the suggestions on the restaurant, and I can assure you we have taken steps to fix it and correct our prices.

Beautiful hotel in the centre of old CuscoPosted Sep 7, 2015
Pros: Everything from staff to food to comfort to location to cleanliness
Cons: A workout facility would top it off
Location: Centrally located close to markets, stores, restaurants, squares, museums
We have stayed in wonderful hotels around the world and the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas ranks with the best. We were travelling with our children and 11 month old grandson (7 of us) and the staff to a person were the friendliest and most helpful we have ever encountered. They were warm and knowledgeable and any requests were dealt with immediately and efficiently. We had suites which were spacious, spotless and modern. The hotel is well located in the centre of old Cusco and is an easy walk to many attractions. The food at the hotel was also excellent - fresh and delicious. The pool area is quiet and perfectly maintained. Easily among the finest hotels we have ever stayed in for an all round experience.

Reviews by JesseWave about the way readers figure so vitally into bringing a book to life.
Here's how the column starts out:
It takes two to tango. And it takes at least two to make a book. Just
like a play needs an audience to fully come alive, a book needs a
reader for precisely the same reason.
One thing I have to constantly remind myself as a writer is that,
once I have written the words, 'the end' to a story is that I must let go.
As much as I labored over the book, dreamed about it, had conversations
with myself about it, agonized over word choice, character hair color,
continuity, repetitive words and phrasing, the time comes when the book
meets the public which signals that it's time for me to step aside.
A book is a conspiracy between a reader and a writer. The reader has
to bring it to life through his or her imagination. The wonderful thing
about that whole process is that my story can become so many different
stories when filtered through each reader's unique frame of reference. I
have no doubt that no matter the care I take in describing characters
and setting, each reader sees them differently because each of them come
to the table with different experiences, biases, and memories. All of
those things have a bearing on the triggers my words pull in a reader's

Premia Sweet on Profits ({{commentsTotal}})
One of the nation's largest ice cream producers, Premia Foods, increased its profits eight-fold last year.
Premia Foods, which produces a variety of frozen foods but is mostly known for ice cream, said in a press release that its turnover increased to nearly 100 million euros in 2013, up 14 percent compared to the previous year.
Last year's profit was 800,000 euros, a huge increase compared to the 100,000 euros earned in 2012. Its profits could have been even higher, as Premia lost 700,000 euros due to unfavorable currency exchange shifts in the Russian ruble and Swedish krona.
The company, which is listed on the OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange, also recorded a 1.1 million euro loss in the last quarter of 2013 due to a decision by Swedish veterinary authorities, which cost the company three million euros. Premia said it has taken legal action and hopes to recoup those losses.

Surgical Technology Program Receives National Recognition
Waubonsee Community College's Surgical Technology Program recently received recognition by the Board of Directors of the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting for achieving at least a 90 percent graduate pass rate on the Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) exam cycle for August 2015 through July 2016.
Graduates obtaining national certification as a CST demonstrate through the exam understanding of the basic competencies for safe patient care in the operating room. The CST is considered among those in the health care profession as the most important credential for surgical technologies in the nation, and is required for employment within many local, state and national health care organizations.
During the time frame for which the college is recognized, 14 Waubonsee students took the CST exam, according to Dr. Jess Toussaint, Waubonsee Dean for Health Professions and Public Service.
"Surgical tech certification is a way for trained surgical technologists to demonstrate expertise and gain respect in their chosen profession," Toussaint said. "The more education, training and credentials you possess, the better your chances of realizing success in this field."
The college's surgical technology program is offered in the afternoons and evenings at Waubonsee's newly renovated home to its health care programs, the Aurora Fox Valley Campus, 2060 Ogden Ave. The renovated campus features state-of-the-art technology and equipment to provide students with places on emphasis on hands-on learning. The renovations also allowed for expanded student services, including tutoring, a library and testing services. The new surgical technology lab allows for realistic learning experiences that simulate a real operating room.
