A Hundred Summers
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This was a really fun book and would make an excellent vacation read. It's about a bunch of New England socialites, and the heroine is Lily Dane who, while summering in Rhode Island in 1938, encounters her former best friend and former fiance, who are recently married. The chapters alternate between the events of that summer of 38, and the events of the fall of 1931, when Lily and Nick (the former fiance) first met. The events of both years are equally compelling, and this one is hard to put down. Family secrets, star-crossed lovers, and all with the glamour of 1930s style. Enjoyed every minute of this one, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a light, fun read.
I enjoyed this book and it read quickly. Based on the great hurricane of Connecticut of 1938, the author made a great effort of depicting the life of the well-to-do before and after the great crash of 1929 as they spend their summers in their summer retreats by the sea. The two main characters, Nick and Lily, are quite endearing. A good love story.
This book takes place in 1932 and 1938 alternating between these two years. The main protagonists are Budgie and Lily two close friends living on the upper east side of NY and summering in New England. A love triangle develops between them and a handsome young man named Nick Greenwald. It's a great beach read full of romance, intrigue and the famous hurricane of 1938 that destroyed a whole beach community in New England. I have already read the Secret Life of Violet Grant by the same author, Beatriz Williams, and I want to read her other book, Overseas in the near future. She is a very good writer.
This is a book that doesn't tax the reader with either the storyline or the characters. It is the perfect vacation or beach read.
Loved it...absolutely loved it. Not only did I learn about an new author, I found a new topic to research. This book was inspired from Super storm Sandy. It is however about the 1938 hurricane that devastated New England. In it is a love story with racism, distorted friendships, secrets, and lies. Once you think you figured it out Beatriz has more twists for you. Great book.
This is a great summer read and I'm sad that I neglected to read it during the summer. This book is well written and a surprising page turner - an all around enjoyable read.
That was a page turner! Took me only three days to finish it. Very well written, engaging and fun read. The characters did seem a bit stereotypical ("good boy", "bad boy", "good girl", "bad girl"), it still was a very enjoyable read.
This was a lovely read. Enjoyable from start to finish, great characters, and good flow. The story was easy to follow, and engaging for a summer read. Highly recommend.
This book was a delightful surprise.I couldn't put it down.
This was the perfect book to lose yourself in for summer reading.

AAPC Reinforces Call for Action on Currency Manipulation
From research labs and supplier factories to assembly lines and dealership showrooms, the auto industry supports nearly 8 million jobs, pays $500 billion in annual compensation and generates $70 billion in personal tax revenue in the United States.
And, as low-skill manufacturing has shifted overseas (for example, in textiles or some consumer electronics), the importance of high-skill manufacturing, like automobiles, has risen. With auto sales rebounding from the financial crisis of the 2008 – 2009, automakers' importance to our economy will continue to grow. Industry experts predict FCA US, Ford and GM could hire 34,000 new workers over the next four years. And those new jobs will support about 300,000 more new jobs at auto suppliers and other local businesses that serve FCA US, Ford and GM plants.
FCA US, Ford and GM are just three of 16 major global automakers competing in the U.S., but they employ two-thirds of America's autoworkers, purchase nearly two-thirds of the auto parts manufactured here, produce 55 percent of the autos assembled here and conduct most of America's auto research and development.
Why do FCA US, Ford and GM contribute so much more to our economy? Because they conduct the bulk of their engineering, manufacturing, marketing and finance work here. Four out of 10 FCA US, Ford and GM employees are based in the U.S. At Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai/Kia, BMW, Mercedes and VW (the seven largest foreign automakers), only five in 100 employees are based here. That eight-fold difference translates into millions of U.S. jobs and tens of billions of dollars in parts sales, R&D and capital investment each year.

AAPC Reinforces Call for Action on Currency Manipulation
Currency manipulation has a huge impact on manufacturers, says Bill Adler, president of Stripmatic Products Inc. in Cuyahoga Heights. Indeed, the past chairman of the Precision Metalforming Association thinks it's the biggest hurdle U.S. companies face when it comes to competing globally.
"We see and feel the direct impact of lost jobs, lost revenues because of unfair currency manipulation," Adler said.
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and allied manufacturing groups today reiterated their call for strong and enforceable currency manipulation disciplines in all future trade agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
American businesses could be hiring more workers today if we ended unfair trade practices used by some of our trading partners. No matter how competitive companies are in Ohio, they struggle to keep up with foreign competitors that are given an unearned advantage because of currency manipulation.

Three former employees of arch-fraudster Bernard Madoff have pleaded not guilty to charges that they participated in Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme.
Daniel Bonventre, the former operations director at Madoff's firm, and two computer programmers, Jerome O'Hara and George Perez, are charged with falsifying records. Bonventre, who was originally charged last month but was added to the O'Hara-Perez case on Wednesday, is also charged with securities fraud, false filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and filing false tax returns. O'Hara and Perez are also charged with conspiracy.
O'Hara and Perez were first charged in November. All three are free on bail, and entered their pleas in Manhattan federal court on Thursday. Their next court date is scheduled for April 12.
If convicted, the former programmers face up to 30 years in prison; Bonventre faces up to 20 years.
All told, six people have been charged in the case. The other three, including Madoff himself, pleaded guilty; CFO Frank DiPascali and former Madoff auditor David Friehling are cooperating with investigators. Madoff is serving a 150-year sentence for running the Ponzi scheme, believed to be the largest in history.

Outback Opera
Broadcast: 9/11/2013 9:32:34 PM
PIP COURTNEY: Children in remote Queensland are probably more used to the sounds of sheep and cattle than Italian arias or operatic choruses, but opera singing's being taught to outback students as part of a program to engage rural communities in new cultural experiences.
And it's brought a cheerful note to students and families as Queensland's interior continues to battle drought.
The scheme's been run by Queensland's state opera and musical theatre company, which wants to expand it to work with more regional communities across the nation.
From Longreach, Chrissy Arthur reports.
(Sound of opera)
CHRISSY ARTHUR: In the heart of Queensland's outback the horizons are big, but the opportunities for high culture are limited.
MARK TAYLOR, OPERA QUEENSLAND: Although it's an amazing place to live as a kid, there's obviously some things that you miss out on. There's not an Opera House, there's not, you know, as many cultural experiences.
(Opera singing)
CHRISSY ARTHUR: A team from Opera Queensland has travelled thousands of kilometres to share the joys of opera. It's part of an education program called Open Stage.
Which is taking opera to remote areas and engaging with country communities.
Mark Taylor spent three years as a schoolteacher in rural Queensland before joining the opera company to coordinate the program.
MARK TAYLOR: So to bring some of Australia's, you know, really well-respected opera singers and musicians and a director out here to work with these kids is just really rewarding. It opens their eyes to some different types of music, some different cultural experiences and hopefully encourages them to explore that a little bit further.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: Students from tiny schools at Windorah and Stonehenge have made the dusty trip to Jundah to take part in the opera program. For Mark Taylor, it's a trip back to the school where he began his teaching career. Instead of maths and English, it's now opera that's his focus.
MARK TAYLOR: And look, opera is a 400-year-old art form, it's an art form that's still very popular, but it's an art form that isn't as well-known to young people. So they quite often have these, these stylised ideas of a female opera singer there with a horned helmet on belting something out and a lot of this is from cartoons and this sort of idea.
(Opera singers and kids singing scales)
WOMAN: Bit faster!
MAN (Sings): For I am a pirate king.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: Western Queensland is a region where country music usually reigns, but these students are getting a glimpse at another musical art form.
WOMAN: Nice one guys.
MARK TAYLOR: Opera is about people telling a story, but doing it through song. And the stories are fabulous. And there's actually quite a few similarities with country music. As someone who lived in the west and listened to some country music, it's quite often tales of tragedy and woe and that's exactly what opera's all about.
They're amazing narratives, they're really interesting, and they're accompanied with some of the most beautiful music you could ever hear.
OPERA TEACHER: We'll do a warm up. So we'll do a physical warm up which will then lead into some work we do with our singing warm up, because everything's connected.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: Back in the schoolroom the professionals are limbering up with the children. For dramatic soprano Zara Barrett, it's the first time she's been involved with Open Stage.
ZARA BARRETT, SOPRANO: If you're not exposed to something and it seems so foreign to you, it's very scary. It's like anything, isn't it, really? I mean, I just think - but if you meet people who are actually in a profession, like opera singers - oh they're really normal, they're actually - they've got everyday lives, families, and yeah, they create this really big sound and it's interesting to know how they do it.
(Sings) You've got to dig deep.
And why they do it, and that it's not really that strange and bizarre, it's just something a little different.
MAN: (Sings) Be a pirate king. I am a pirate king.
KIDS: (Singing) You are a pirate king.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: While Zara Barrett may be more at home centre stage at an opera house, she is keen to inspire and encourage creativity in the schoolroom.
OPERA SINGER GROUP: (singing) And that's where you've got to start.
ZARA BARRETT: I think even for themselves if they find their own inner voice and learning the joy of music, it doesn't even have to be opera, it can be the joy of learning how to sing and breathe. Because I think, I think it's really important, you know, for learning even, just about music and singing and using different parts. Because we're so dedicated to maths and reading and writing and all of that, I think adding that element of music is really important to education and developing a love for it, I think, and a passion.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: Currently 60 per cent of Queensland is drought declared, including shires in this region and so for many families, cultural pursuits are not high on the agenda at the moment. But that hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of students who've rehearsed for days to prepare for a community concert.
(Zara getting ready for concert)
ZARA BARRETT: Too much for the Qantas museum?
WOMAN: No, bring it, (inaudible) outback.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: An aviation museum at Longreach has opened its doors for the concert as the team prepares for curtains to rise. Backstage, there's no hint of nerves. Some of the young performers have travelled hundreds of kilometres for their moment in the spotlight.
GEMMA THORPE, ARAMAC STATE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL: I think through being involved in the arts, whichever area that may be, their confidence grows and they become more prepared to share in front of an audience, whether that's a familiar or an unfamiliar audience. And obviously being involved in a group such as this, where they can join with children from across the central west, they become part of a bigger team of people that they don't necessarily know but they have to be able to work alongside with. And that can only help them with their future.
(Sound of students singing)
CHRISSY ARTHUR: Gemma Thorpe had students involved last year in a similar program. She says offering children new learning opportunities is especially important this year.
GEMMA THORPE: Families are faced with difficult times at the moment and I guess it's really important, as parents or educators or adults within the community, to try and lighten that load for children where we can.
(Sound of children singing)
CHRISSY ARTHUR: For the students and their parents, this experience has been an eye-opener.
LILLYANA BOWDEN: Well, I thought I'd walk in and everyone would be standing there and just going (Sings note). I was worried that I would have to sing like that.
(Kids singing 'I am a Pirate King')
LILLYANA BOWDEN: I've learnt that opera's not all different language and Italian and that it, it actually tells a story. It's not just singing about something, it's telling a story, and usually the main character dies.
CHRISSY ARTHUR: And Mark Taylor says while a whole new generation is being exposed to opera and musical theatre through the initiative, its measure of success is ultimately much broader.
(Cheering and applause)
MARK TAYLOR: And we're using opera, which is an art form that not everyone grasps or is excited about, that's OK. It's about experimenting with different things, and if you end up standing up at the Stonehenge Rodeo next year singing the National Anthem because you've found your voice, how good's that?
(Cheering and applause)

Check out the awesome thing that I just did! Can you pick out the autosiphon and tubing in this block of ice? I accidentally left these items in a tray of sanitizer, on the front porch, and this was the result.

Good to see that - I thought by the thread title you meant something else because it sure is cold in the NW this week.
Cool..looks like your all set to make an eisbock.
This crap is getting ridiculous. I live in the PNW so that I rarely see 20's, almost never see the teens.
I've had my bike parked the last two days (she'll be parked tomorrow) and taken the car. My motorcycle gear is good to about 20 - past that and I start loosing feeling in extremities. Don't see under 20 enough to warrant better gear. Bike knows better when it's super cold too and is grumpy about starting.
Now I don't want you "cold staters" piping up. I know that 20 is nothing, that's why I don't live in your state.
My blackberry wine is getting a hell of a cold crash. Hopefully it doesn't freeze solid... (it's in sankey's so I'm not too concerned about a rupture).
Looks like you're an "over-achiever"...1 minute contact time would have been sufficient...
I left a carboy full of sanitizer on the back porch once. Wasn't aware it was supposed to get so cold and woke up the next morning to a big pile of shattered glass on the porch.

The cool thing about our unusually cold temps here in the PNW is that I'm about to brew a lager w/o temp control! The closet I ferment in has been about 50 degrees the last week or so. Of course, as soon as I brew the lager (this weekend) the weather will probably warm up and my plans will be ruined...

Our luxury 5 bedroom villa is located at the prestigious Emerald Island Resort which is only 3 miles to Disney.
The resort is a gated community with security guards on duty 24/7 which means extra safety for your family. Its outstanding amenities include a 4000 sq ft club house with a heated swimming pool and spa, a fitness center, a sauna /steam room, a computer room with Internet access, and a video games room. There are also volley ball and tennis courts, a children play area, 11 acres of woodland with nature trails for walking, jogging and cycling. Shuttle services are available to Disney Parks and the main area attractions with a small fee.
The house boasts 1 Master Bedroom En-suite with Custom King Size beds and matching furniture, 2 Master Bedroom with Custom Queen Size bed and matching furniture, 1 themed bedroom with 2 twin beds, 1 themed bedroom with 2 bunk beds. The villa can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests.
The living room, dining room, breakfast area, fully equipped kitchen, and game room provide ample space for cooking, dinning, entertainment, and relaxing.
Stepping outside of the living room you will see a pool/deck with set of patio table and chairs where you can enjoy the beautiful Florida sunset or watch your children having a wonderful time in the swimming pool/spa. Resort's play ground for kids is right across the front door, you can watch kids having fun in the playground without leaving the house.
As soon as my family and I walked in through the door, we were instantly impressed. The house is a beautiful 5-bedroom/3-bathroom with plasma screen TVs in every room as well as a gaming console in the main living area. It has a wonderful open layout that lets sunlight into the house and makes it feel both cozy and inviting at the same time. Each bedroom is spacious, clean, and comfortable; the TVs made it easy to relax after a long day out. The kitchen amenities are modern and easy to use and there are all different types of cookware and utensils. The pool is small but clean and easy to maintain; the pool heating feature was very nice, given that the weather during the week we spent at the house was a touch chilly. The house is very well maintained and feels just like living in your own private hotel. The house is also very close to the Disney Parks, as well as a variety of restaurants, stores, and supermarkets. The resort where the house is located is beautiful and peaceful; its clubhouse features a bigger, public pool and an arcade area, which is great for kids. The house is only one-story so even though there is plenty of room, people staying in different rooms do not feel disjointed from each other. This house is lovely for coming home to after a long day or even for just relaxing in. I would highly recommend it for any vacationers seeking a lovely, private experience.
The owner is friendly, very easy to work with and accommodating. The owner was helpful in answering all questions that I had to ensure that the process went smoothly. This home provided accuracy in everything that is listed in the description. The photos are exact as to what you should expect, all amenities were included and the property was very clean and well-maintained. This property is child friendly and is conveniently located to everything. And if you are looking for activities to do, there is a put put golf close by and well as a little amusement park called "Fun Town." The only problem that I had was with the refrigerator and freezer. They did not stay very cool. I called the property mananger and a tech was sent to the house but the problem was not resolved. I contacted the property manager a second time regarding the same issue and it was not addressed. Other than that, my family and I enjoyed this vacation rental and would definitely stay here again and recommend this property to family and friends.
We were lucky to find this house on vrbo.com after exhaustively searching for a 5 bed room rental house on other web sites. We called the owner of this house up, and she walked us through what we had to do to get the house booked without any issues even though we only had 4 weeks left before our vacation.
Fast forward, the moment we walked into the house, we felt in love with it. It was decorated nicely with Christmas theme as you could see in the pictures posted on the website. The bedrooms and bathrooms were squeaky clean. The beds were also very comfortable to sleep in (Believe me, we are very picky when it comes to our beds). In our opinions, the house was well designed; we had 12 people in our party (6 adults and 6 kids), yet we felt very roomy. The kids loved the game room where they spent most of their time. We didn't do much cooking since we spent most of our time at Disney parks, but we noticed that the owner did provide most of common cookware and utensils.
Emerald Island Resort was also great. The landscape was meticulously designed and taken care of. We ran every morning for the week we stayed there and felt safe and welcome. The staffs at the club house were nice and very knowledgeable about the area.
We dined at the Outback Steak house in the shopping near by one night. One of our family members was picky with her steak, and the manager came out and took good care of her. He even gave her some soup as a bonus for his employee's mistakes. We were impressed!
Overall, we highly recommend this property to anyone. We will definitely rent this house again in the future if we come to the area.
Julie,we spent a wonderful vacation week in your house, thanks so much. It is an excellent place for group trip, like us. The house is comfortable and well-maintained. It is very easy to drive Disney and Orlando Studios from the house, less 15 min. The community around the house is also convenient and beautiful,which brings us very easy life. We can find the shop, the restaurant,fun places with walk distance. We love facilities so much. I never forget our "pool party". Girls soooo liked the spa; it relaxes us after intensive walking. Guys pretty enjoyed the club house. My college-mates and I had a very great time here. I have to say, it is a wonderful place for group. The house is big and is able to fit everyone's need. I highly recommend this house to my friends. Our next staying is planning.
We had a great time staying in this house. We've been to disney a bunch of times and this was our first time staying off site and it great! The house was beuatiful and clean. The only negative thing I would say is that none one came to clean the pool all week and it was a little cloudy by our last day.
Our family of 13 stayed in the home. The resort was very clean and well maintained. The gated community was wonderful. The home is clean and comfortable. The children loved the pool. It was the highlight of the home for them. I was in a queen room and my bed was very comfy. The distance to Disney was short. We were at Animal Kingdom in under 10 min and the others under 20 min. Shopping was within 3 minutes of the home. The home was ready on time. The keypad and pool alarm easy to use. We were able to park 3 vehicles in the driveway (mini van, pilot, and full size car). Our only real complaint was the outside garbage can...its small and some critter would easily get into it each night and every morning there was a mess to clean up. I have already recommended this house to another family and would definitely stay at the home again. Julie was very personable on each conversation and returned our deposit in a timely manner. In our 7 trips this was our first time off Disney property and were nervous....it was easy breezy and wouldn't hesitate offsite again. We also left our AAA Diamond parking for Disney World that is good for the remainder of the year (parks next to handicap area) I hope your future guests in 2013 enjoy it Julie!!

Nick, Simon, and Greg hand out the "Award" for the biggest controversy in MLS.

The first-ever round of the Patrick UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup raced on the muddy slopes of the citadel in Namur (BEL) offered a great spectacle.

 Belgian veteran Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) captured a hard-fought win over Belgian Champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) in the Elite Men category. The 35 year-old is the new leader in the World Cup rankings. Dutch star Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit) dominated in the women's race, which was raced in snowy conditions. Her compatriot Daphny van den Brand (AA Drink -- Nederland Bloeit) remains overall leader in the World Cup standings.

 French Champion Francis Mourey (FDJ), Aurélien Duval (France), Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) and Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Revor) led a large group through the first laps on the muddy course in chilly Namur. During the fourth of eight laps, Albert accelerated. Nys followed his example with an attack on the fifth lap. Only Vantornout remained on Nys' wheel. A little later Nys flatted and was caught by an unleashed Stybar. The Czech soon steamed through to neutralize Vantornout's advantage. For a brief moment there were six riders in the group, but Pauwels punctured and lost time. Nys seized his moment to take the lead and set the pace up front. Pauwels didn't bridge back up and in the last lap it seemed like Albert was heading for the win. Nevertheless Nys closed the small gap on the Belgian Champion and with a last effort he reached the finish area solo. Albert was runner-up at 5s ahead of Vantornout, Pauwels, Stybar and Meeusen. The fourth place for Pauwels was just not enough to keep his World Cup leader's jersey, which is now in Nys' possession.

February 11, 2015:
Tweets flew back and forth quickly at one my recent Friday #BIWisdom tweetchats. The tribe really got into sharing their opinions of where BI is today – thanks to hopes for advancements in 2014 that were achieved or remain unfulfilled – and opinions about what BI technologies organizations will invest in during 2015.
Here are their top observations regarding what's gaining buzz for growth and investments for 2015:
- Natural language processing (NLP)
- Infographics
- Streaming BI due to the Internet of Things
- In-memory analytical sandboxes sitting above a hybrid EDW with traditional and non-traditional sources
- Operational BI
Business Intelligence is our passion and our focus for the past 26 years! If it's important to you too, please take a few minutes to share your views on the subject.
Right now we're collecting data for the following BI topic areas:
- Advanced and Predictive Analytics
- BI Competency Center
- Business Intelligence Market
- Cloud BI

GLASS WWWORS a. 5 PETERSON 8,217? ATTORNEV DEVICES UTILIZING IMPROVED LINIIO 'HOLOGRAPI-IIC MEDIUM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention is concerned with volume holographic media and devices. Bit density is enhanced by multiple image recording.
2. Description of the Prior Art Optical memory systems including both digital and analogous arrangements, the latter exemplified by holography described in texts on optics became practically realizable with the commercial availability of the laser about a decade ago. This type of recording depends upon the developed interference pattern of two or more beams of electromagnetic radiation, one of which is designated a reference beam while the other/s, sometimes containing intelligence, may be designated signal beam/s. Reconstruction of recorded interference patterns is accomplished by an interrogating beam ordinarily made incident on the recording medium at the Bragg angle.
Two-dimensional holographic arrangements depending on this principle have been in widespread experimental use for some years. A number of suitable media, many of which operate on a photographic principle, have been utilized.
The concept of volume holography is dependent on the inherent characteristic of spacial redundancy, i.e., the fact that repeating sets of interference fringes contain the same information. Multiple imaging takes advantage of the use of different angles of incidence of one or more of the interfering waves thereby resulting in sets of fringes which may be selectively accessed. Selective access is accomplished by utilization of an interrogating beam at such angle of incidence that the Bragg requirement is met. The fact that fringes of different order images may supplement or even result in occasional erasure is of no consequence in a medium sufficiently thick to provide for the necessary redundancy.
The concept of volume holography has been an extremely enticing one. Capability of such systems based on presently available optics suggests the possibility of random access memories containing from l" to [0" bits of information in a reasonable volume (a cubic centimeter or less). In fact, at this time, there would appear to be no other proposed systems inherently capable of such capacity.
It is recognized that the failure of holography to reach commercial fruition arises from deficiencies in present recording media.
Search for an appropriate holographic medium has included investigation of a variety of materials. Traditional gelatins, photographic emulsions, are generally useful two-dimensional media although they are not generally easily erasable. Transparency is generally sufficiently limited to make the development of a reasonably thick medium unlikely.
Photochromic materials such as single crystalline KBr have been proposed for this use. The phenomena relies on a change of absorption and/or index of refraction on illumination. Induced change is erasable usually by thermal means. Limitations largely involve low diffraction efficiency and, in the case of organic photochromics, chemical instability.
Magnetic materials depend upon a form of Curie point writing. A magnetic field is imposed across a medium. Illumination results in local heating sufficient to reduce the coercivity of the medium and so enable the applied field to produce reversal in magnetization direction. Readout is accomplished, for example, by use of a detector sensitive to Faraday rotation of an accessing beam. Such systems are recommended by their inherently high resolution, good stability, and easy thermal erasure. The recording process, however, usually requires high peak power.
A system that has certain inherent advantages utilizes crystalline ferroelectrics. Their suggested use first arose from the observation of optically-induced damage." Such material, when utilized in optical circuit elements, was found to develop scattering centers attributable to the development of local refractive index inhomogeneities. It has been recognized that at least one such material, LiNbO,, is capable of high resolution. See U. S. Pat. No. 3,544,189. Erasure may be easily accomplished in bulk, by thermal means, or selectively, by optical means. High diffraction efficiency is to be expected although optimization has awaited identification of the mechanism responsible for the development of index inhomogeneities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION LiNbO, as a memory medium for use, for example, as a digital deflector recording medium or as a volume holographic medium is improved by incorporation of small amounts of iron ions under conditions such that there is a reasonably even distribution of such ions in the divalent and trivalent states. Addition of iron is such as to bring the total content to a minimum level of ppm in units of cation content (100 ppm is approximately the same as 0.01 mole percent Fe,0,). For usual holographic media thicknesses, a maximum content of Fe of about 500 ppm is prescribed. The total iron content may reach a maximum of about 1,000 ppm, for even distribution of divalent and trivalent ions or higher values where the trivalent form is prevalent. In more precise terms the limits may be expressed as 50, 250 and 500 ppm Fe" and amounts of Fe" which desirably at least equal but may exceed such amounts. Since Fe has little effect on transparency the excess may be appreciable, e.g., 100 percent or greater.
Introduction of iron content may be in initial ingredients during growth or subsequently. Other processing steps are generally conventional but are designed so as to enhance the Fe'VI e ratio and to provide the appropriate distribution of ionic content, or at least so as to leave such ratio unimpaired. For example, ferroelectric poling required to produce single domain material is maintained for as short a period as possible to prevent ion clumping.
A device embodiment of the invention involves means for varying the angle of at least one of the write or read beams so as to provide for multiple imaging. One such preferred embodiment involves use of an acoustooptic element for accomplishing this end.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The FIGURE is a schematic view in perspective depicting an illustrative system designed for volume holographic recording and interrogation.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION 1. The Drawing The depicted system utilizes a coherent light source 1 yielding coherent beam 2, spacial deflectors 3 and 4, collimating lens 5, angular deflector 6, modified LiN- b0, recording medium 7 and detector 8. As depicted, the system is described in terms of interrogation. For writing information, means shown are provided for interfering laser beam 2 or a portion thereof with one or more information-containing beams. The depicted system provides for a phase hologram formed in a thick medium (a medium of sufficient thickness to contain a repeating number of interference fringe sets so as to statistically compensate for destruction by members of other sets). Recording a hundred images within a volume defined by a common surface requires a thickness of approximately 0.25 millimeters under general operating conditions. This thickness is accordingly considered a preferred minimum for these purposes.
A phase hologram formed in the transparent holographic medium 7 may be considered a three-dimensional diffraction grating which diffracts a light beam in the same way that a crystal lattice diffracts a monochromic beam of x-rays. There are well-defined Bragg angles of incidence at which diffraction is maximized. Away from these angles there is no coherent diffraction. Several holograms may be superimposed on the same volume as the recording medium and any one may be selectively interrogated by appropriate choice of the angle of incidence.
Coherent light source 1 may be a laser or more involved apparatus involving ancillary elements (second harmonic generators, etc.) yielding radiation having a fundamental wavelength of less than about 0.65 micrometers. This wavelength minimum is prescribed since it corresponds with a minimum quantum energy for effectively producing the refractive index change upon which the recording mode depends. This is described in some greater detail in a subsequent section herein. in the interrogation mode, source 1 may be operated at a somewhat longer wavelength. Such operation is desirable in that it permits long exposure without danger of erasure but complicated operation in that it requires an adjustment in the angle of incidence from that utilized in the recording mode to satisfy the Bragg angle condition. Spacial deflectors 3 and 4, the first producing X deflection and the second producing Y deflection, may operate on any suitable principle, for example, acoustooptic, electrooptic, magnetooptic, etc. Means for producing such deflection are not shown and may include acoustic generators and terminators, electrode structures, means for applying magnetic or electric fields, energy sources, etc. For detailed description of appropriate apparata, see Vol. 46, Bell System Technical Journal, p. 957 (1967) and Vol. 6, Journal of Quantum Electronics p, 223 (1970).
The function of x,y spacial deflectors 3 and 4 is to provide the first level of spacial addressing. These elements may be considered as dividing the recording medium 7 into a grid corresponding with individual recording regions. Collimating lens 5 serves to focus the beam and thereby produce a well-defined demarltation between adjacent regions. Element 6 is a large aperture angular deflector which selects the desired recording or interrogation angle. Element 6 may also operate on any deflection principle involving interaction of light with, for example, acoustic, magnetic, or electric energy. Since deflector 6 is in juxtaposition to LiNbO, element 7, the angle of incidence of the beam in the storage medium has little effect on position, i.e., essentially the entirety of the designated region within the grid defined by deflector elements 3 and 4 may be utilized. The depicted arrangement includes a detector array 8, as defined, to detect the information yielded during the interrogation of recording medium 7. Such an array may be composed, for example, of silicon photodiodes.
It has been shown that at least superimposed holographic images can be recorded and subsequently read out by approximate angle selection without appreciable cross talk. Since present technology permits attainment of a grid of about 10' regions on a feasible area (of the order of 1 square centimeter), a system such as that depicted in the FIGURE is, in principle, capable of providing 10 information bits.
Systems such as those depicted are erasable either in bulk or selectively. Such erasure may be accomplished by uniform irradiation, again, utilizing a wavelength of 0.65 micrometers or less, or by nonuniform irradiation defining a negative image at such angle of incidence as to correspond with a selected positive image to be erased.
2. The Composition The fundamental composition of materials herein, while designated by the nominal formula LiNbO,, may and usually does vary somewhat from the indicated stoichiometry. It is well known that such variation may be desirable, for example, to expedite growth in which instance the congruent 0.486more nearly coinciding with the formula (Li,0) (Nb,O is indicated. in essence, the improvement resulting from the invention involves addition of iron ions to the composition. The mechanism responsible for the refractive index change is one of electron hopping, as discussed in section 4 herein. Specifically, the responsible mechanism involves liberation of an electron by a light-energized Fe ion. Electrons so liberated are captured by randomly saturated Fe ions. The significant index change corresponds with the change in concentration of Fe ions in selected regions.
It is seen, therefore, that the inventive teaching may take the form of a prescribed Fe content, of course, always assuming at least an equal number of Fe ions to act as capture centers. From the standpoint of the invention, it is prescribed that iron be added to the composition so as to result in at least 50 ppm of Fe (Fe' cations relative to lithium plus niobium cations). It is, therefore, required that iron content also include at least 50 ppm of Fe. The total minimum iron content to be adjusted by addition, in accordance with the invention, is, therefore, at least 100 ppm total iron, assuming half the total iron to be Fe or such total amount of iron inclusion as includes 50 ppm Fe". This minimum content has been found necessary to result in a significant improvement in diffraction efficiency as compared with LiNb093 crystals grown conventionally.
A maximum Fe content on the same basis of 500 ppm is prescribed with a view to the transparency necessary for media having a thickness of the order of 0.25 mm (a thickness considered minimal for volume storage of multiple images in apparatus such as that depicted in the FIGURE.
Fe has little effect on transparency within the normal transparency range of LiNbO, (0.35 micrometer- 7.0 micrometers). For the most effective utilization, it is again desired that there be at least 500 ppm of Fe corresponding with the maximum indicated Fe content. There is, however, little disadvantage in increasing the Fe content even to levels several multiples of this amount.
A preferred minimum of about 100 ppm Fe (and therefore also at least about 100 ppm Fe) is based on the observation that such content results in a diffraction efficiency of the order of 25 percent in a 2 mm thick crystal representing a 100 times improvement over usual optical grade LiNb0 3. Processing Growth of LiNbt), for the inventive purposes is carried out in the usual manner. The technique usually employed for the best optical grade material is seeded growth by a Czochralski technique. Starting ingredients, usually forming a congruent composition, may be Li CO and Nb,o,. The procedure is described in Vol. 48, Journal of American Ceramic Society, p. 112, (I965) and usually consists of grinding of initial ingredients by ball milling followed by a series of sintering and regrinding steps until complete reaction is obtained. After reaction the product is melted and the crystal is formed by pulling.
lron addition may be made at any time during processing. For expediency, such addition is generally made to the initial ingredients. Such ingredients of a purity considered acceptable for optical devices generally contain of the order of 1 ppm total iron. It is generally desirable to continue to use ingredients considered acceptable for optical grade material since the inventive device, like other optical devices, is desirably kept reasonably free of uncontrolled scattering or absorption centers. Accordingly, the amount of iron to be added at this stage is of the order of 100 ppm based, again, on the total cation content of the starting ingredients. Such iron addition may be made in the form of Fe,0,, FeO or metallic Fe. Uniform dispersion is assured by following the usual grinding and sintering procedures.
Actual growth may be carried out utilizing standard furnace equipment and standard ancillary apparatus such as supports, crucibles, etc. Some materials incorporated in standard apparatus may contribute as much as an additional ppm of iron. Such addition is of little consequence from the standpoint of the invention.
After growth, it is necessary to ferroelectrically pole the final crystalline material to eliminate domain walls. This is accomplished, again, in the usual manner by maintaining a current of the order of 5 milliamps per square centimeter of crystal area through the crystal ordinarily while cooling the crystal from near its melting point over an interval of about 50 C. This poling procedure is necessarily carried out over a temperature range which includes the Curie point; and this Curie point, depending on compositional variations encompassed within the formula (Li,O) (Nb,O may vary over the temperature range of from l,050 to l,l80 C. To avoid clumping (i.e., inhomogeneous distribution) of iron ions, it is desirable to keep poling time to a minimum. In general, poling may be accomplished in a period of 5 minutes or less.
The stability of Fe relative to Fe increases with increasing temperature and the as-grown material has a thermodynamic distribution which provides for the maximum Fif /Fe ratio. It has been found that annealing at temperatures substantially below the Curie temperature, results in some decrease in diffraction efficiency. Accordingly, it is deduced that the Fe' 'lFe ratio is reduced to less than 50 percent by such treatment. This effect is particularly noticeable for annealing below about 700 C and so such annealing is generally to be avoided. If other desiderata require annealing below 700 C, the Fe/Fe ratio may be increased to a more desirable level by subsequent high temperature annealing.
4. Mechanism Explanation of refractive index change in lithium niobate is dependent on a valence change of iron ions during device operation. It is inherent in holographic recording that the electromagnetic radiation corresponding with interference fringing is of nonuniform intensity across the crystal. The effect is to preferentially excite the Fe ions located in the most intensely illuminated regions of the crystal. Such excited ions may then liberate electrons, so being converted to Fe. Electrons so liberated are captured by other Fe ions generally in less intensely illuminated regions of the crystal, and such ions, in turn, are converted to Fe". The overall effect is a changing distribution of Fe ions which results in the creation and redistribution of local refractive index inhomogeneities via the electronic effect.
5. Examples The following examples recite different procedures utilized for growing designated compositions. In Examples 2 and 4, iron is added and processing is such as to assure a reasonable level of Fe. Example 3 is added to show the effect of low temperature annealing. Example 1, included as a reference, sets forth the usual growth procedure. Each example includes measured diffraction etfciency. The diffraction efficiency value set forth in each instance is a "saturation value," i.e., such measurement is made subsequent to sufficient exposure to result in the maximum index change attainable under the given operating conditions. The test source used for the measurements produced an intensity of about 10 watts per square centimeter and had a wavelength of 5,!45 angstroms. For comparison purposes, all sections utilized in the examples were 0.2 cm in the thickness direction. In each instance a calculated value of Fe ion content is set forth.
EXAMPLE 1 A crystalline section cut from a congruent composition produced from starting materials having a total iron content of about 1 ppm and utilizing standard grinding and sintering under conditions such that iron content was increased to about 10 ppm in the final crystal was utilized. Exposure of such crystal to a beam intensity of 10 watts per square centimeter at room temperature resulted in a difi'raction efficiency of 0.2 percent in a period of 1 minute. The Fe concentration of the sample was of the order of 5 ppm.
EXAMPLE 2 A crystalline sample was prepared from the same starting ingredients of those of Example 1, with the addition of 0.05 mole percent Fe,0,. Such section incorporated in a device operating on the general principle of that of FIG. 1, resulted in a diffraction efficiency of 44 percent in less than 1 minute. The Fe concentration of this crystal was about 250 ppm.
EXAMPLE 3 The sample of Example 2 was annealed in air at 700 C for 75 hours at 600 C. Such section subjected to the same device environment as that of Examples 1 and 2 resulted in a diffraction efficiency of 1 percent in less than 1 minute. The Fe concentration of the sample was of the order of 20 ppm.
EXAMPLE 4 said body having a thickness suflicient to permit storage of multiple images therein when irradiated on a given surface by an information-containing beam incident on the said surface at any of a number of angles of incidence corresponding with the number of multiple images together with means for directing at least a first beam of coherent electromagnetic energy at the said crystal, said means including provision for making the said beam incident on the said body at any of a number of prescribed angles of incidence, characterized in that the said material contains iron added in an amount sufficient to produce a total Fe ion content of at least 50 ppm based on total cationic content of the said material and at least an equal number of Fe ions.
2. Arrangement of claim I in which the Fe" content is at least ppm.
3. Storage arrangement of claim 1 in which the means for providing a prescribed angle of incidence consists essentially of an angular deflector element juxtapositioned to the said crystal.

This history does not appear in the Bible but as its told teaches the same love that Jesus want it to do for every one in the world. A man trying to reach the king to give him a precious pearl that he bought by selling all his properties and his house to buy this precious pearl. I can recall that Jesus told the story about the precious pearl. I never see in the Bible the fourth Wiseman but any way is very warm in teaching love and God received his present from this man.

Unlike the other version, THIS DVD includes extras, and the picture quality is far more superior. If you want a DVD that looks like it has been transferred from a VHS video, keeps jamming, and has no extras, then go for the PAL Region 2 version.

The Fourth WisemanBased on The Story of the Other Wise Man by Henry van Dyke, this story contrasts the meaninglessness of life without God to the meaning of life with God. Artaban is a physician and scholar who plans to meet the other wise men to go and see Jesus when the star appears. He sets out to present three precious jewels to Jesus, misses the other wise men, then spends the next 33 years in pursuit of Jesus, never finding Him. Along the way, he uses the gifts to help others. Finally his pursuit ends as he sees Jesus just after the resurrection. Saddened that he no longer has a gift to bring, Jesus assures him that he has already given and that Jesus has accepted his gifts. Quality acting from Martin Sheen, Alan Arkin, and Eileen Brennan, and the inclusion of humor to help make this fine story an excellent choice for junior and senior high students, and adults.
What's New on the Bookshelf with Shirley Updyke
This is in time for the holiday season, it's entitled "The Fourth Wise Man," he gave the greatest gift of all. Based on Henry Van Dyke's classic, "The Story of The Other Wise Man" a fictional story set in Biblical times he is on a search for the meaning of life. It is told in gently comic terms. It concerns a Magi named Artaban who studies the prophecies and witnesses a sign in the heavens he hopes will lead him to the Messiah. He takes with him three precious gifts to present to the Messiah. For 33 years, he and his friend pursue Jesus when he finds him. Experience the peace he finds when Artaban finally encounters the new King.
I have long loved the classic story based on Henry Van Dyke's "The Story of The Other Wise Man," and can remember being given the book in a small gift edition as a much desired Christmas present over 50 years ago by my parents. I have wanted to see this production for television for many years also. It lives up to all my expectations. The fictional story set in Biblical times concerns a Magi named Artaban who studies the prophecies and witnesses a sign in the heavens (the Star of Bethlehem) that he hopes will lead him and his faithful servant Orantes to the Messiah, the Christ child. Having sold all his possessions, Artaban takes with him three precious stones as a gift to the Messiah. Artaban and his servant pursue Jesus for 33 years, only to miss him as Artaban, a skilled Magi/doctor, stops to help those in dire need whom he encounters on his journey using his life's gift in jewels to pay for the needs of others. He has no gift left, nothing to give the Messiah when he finds him on the way to Golgotha. The story culminates as Artaban, now old and expiring from his journey and giving all of himself for others, finally sees the risen Jesus, who tells him "As you have given it to others, you have given it to Me." Many watching this story will see, as the author intended, the parallel of Artaban's gift of all of himself to others as the life of Jesus also. The acting of Martin Sheen as Artaban and of Alan Arkin as his servant Orantes is superb. This is a very moving performance and message, in both the story and video. It should be in video collections in all Christian libraries.

This Is Where I Leave You: A Novel (Google eBook)
Penguin, Aug 6, 2009 - Fiction - 368 pages
Now a major motion picture starring Jason Bateman, Tina Fey Jane Fonda, and Adam Driver
"Often sidesplitting, mostly heartbreaking...[Tropper is] a more sincere, insightful version of Nick Hornby, that other master of male psyche." --USA Today
The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman clan has congregated in years. There is, however, one conspicuous absence: Judd's wife, Jen, whose affair with his radio- shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the demise of his father and his marriage, Judd joins his dysfunctional family as they reluctantly sit shiva-and spend seven days and nights under the same roof. The week quickly spins out of control as longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed and old passions are reawakened. Then Jen delivers the clincher: she's pregnant.
This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's (One Last Thing Before I Go) most accomplished work to date, and a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind-whether we like it or not.
