The Kjøsterudjuvet is a 10,000-year-old gorge just ten minutes from downtown Drammen. This ravine in the mountain side is 1,300 metres long with a rise of 250 metres. The vertical walls are up to 60 metres high and the ravine is only 4 metres wide at its most narrow part.
The many golf courses in the Drammen Region are all located just 10 - 40 minutes by car from the centre of Drammen. The golf courses are so densely situated that you, in the course of a long weekend, can go golfing from place to place. At Imjelt Pitch & Putt you will find Norway's only 18-hole year-round pitching and putting course.
The Drammen River is good for salmon fishing. In the spring, the sea trout fishing along the entire coastal strip from Sande to Slemmestad is a phenomena on its own. Extremely active fish preservation measures ensure that there are plenty of fish to catch, even in easily accessible waters.
In Finnemarka, wooded mountain area, there is a huge network of paths and trails. Here you can cycle, walk, run or ride, it is up to you.
Along the coast you can follow the waymarked coastal path ("Kyststien") between Røyken, Hurum, Sande and Svelvik.
If you prefer travelling by boat, you can dock your boat in Holmsbu or one of the other marinas in the region.
Here you will find several pools both indoors and outdoors – including a 50-metre pool. In Drammensbadet you will in addition find water slides, climbing walls and so on.
Bring the children to one of the many open farms in the region. Here, they can go riding and play in the hay. At Sand Farm in Hurum they have hens, sheep, pigs, ducks, rabbits, turkeys, horses and cats. The Sand Farm also has a small café selling delicious cakes and bread.
At the region's annual festivals in August and September you will find local food straight from the farmer, exciting activities for the children and much more. The River Festival in Drammen can tempt you with outdoor concerts featuring world class artists, a fun fair, a dragon boat race, exhibitions and amusements.
Drammen is a modern city with pulsating culture and streetlife. In the middle of the city lies the square Bragernes torg, one of Scandinavia's largest squares, which is the site for florists and vegetable vendors, an artificial skating rink, concerts, political rallies, street theatres and other amusements.

New Product: Paul Revere in Primary Sources
October 3, 2009 by Ben Edwards · Leave a Comment
Teachers across the country are incorporating more primary sources – period documents and objects – into history lessons today. Students of all ages enjoy examining these items and discovering how they can help tell our nation's story. A new publication from the Paul Revere House called Paul Revere in Primary Sources is something that will be of real interest to teachers in grades 5-12. The curriculum packet contains beautiful facsimiles of nine primary sources related to Paul Revere plus ten transcriptions (one of the originals has been lost). It includes many items available for the first time ever for classroom use. For each document, there is a background essay which sets the source in context, a glossary, focusing questions to help students analyze the document, suggestions for further research, and ideas for creative writing assignments.
With this resource from the Paul Revere House, you can introduce Colonial Boston, the Revolution, and the history of the early American republic to your students in a unique and fun way. Primary source documents include an intriguing newspaper ad for Revere's services as a dentist, waste book entries from 1769 noting orders for silver work from his silversmith shop, and a loving letter Revere wrote to his wife while fighting in the Revolution. The packet also includes full color copies of portraits of Paul and Rachel Revere and a view of Boston, a black-and-white period map, a timeline of Revere's life, bibliography, and Revere family genealogy. It is 76 pages, three-hole punched and shrink wrapped and can be ordered from the Educational Materials section of the Revere House Museum Shop.

AUSTIN — Texans wear their belt buckles with a certain Lone Star pride, but it's the buckles in their vehicles that could save their lives. More functional than fashionable, life-saving seat belts first debuted 45 years ago when Lyndon B. Johnson's National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and The Highway Safety Act went into effect mandating that all automobiles have seat belts as a standard feature. To honor President Johnson's pioneering dedication to safety, the Texas Department of Transportation recently launched its 12th annual Click It or Ticket campaign at the LBJ Library in Austin with a car show demonstrating the progression of seat belts through the ages.
"The cost of not wearing seat belts is far greater than a ticket or fine," said Phil Wilson, TxDOT executive director. "Simply put, a seat belt could save your life. Public awareness is working, but we still see some teenagers, pickup truck passengers and rural Texans who aren't buckling up."
Mission Police Corporal Manuel Casas said 97 percent of Mission residents wear their seatbelts. Starting this week, Mission Police Department will be looking for the three percent that don't.
Casas added that accidents in the Mission area could be a lot worse if drivers and passengers aren't wearing their seatbelts. He mentioned the recent accident involving a Telemundo vehicle. The vehicle rolled five times. The only reason they survived, Casas said, was because they were wearing their seatbelts. Otherwise, they would have been thrown out of the vehicle and could have faced life-threatening injuries.
Taking a cue from LBJ's leadership, Texas has made seat belt safety a major priority and is proud to be one of the most buckled up states in the union. When the Click It or Ticket campaign began in 2002, only 76 percent of Texans buckled up. Today, 94 percent are wearing seat belts. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates the Click It or Ticket campaign has saved nearly 3,700 lives and prevented more than 50,000 serious injuries since its launch. The increase in seat belt usage also has saved an estimated $10 billion in wages and productivity losses, medical expenses, insurance premiums, taxes and other costs.
Despite an increase in seat belt compliance, there is more work to be done with the lives of Texans at stake. Initial TxDOT data from 2012 indicates traffic-related fatalities in Texas are up by 11 percent. In 2012, there were 3,400 fatalities due to traffic crashes across the state.
Data also shows that only 82 percent of pickup passengers are buckled when riding compared to more than 91 percent of passengers riding in cars. Pickups also are more likely than passenger cars to roll over or eject unrestrained occupants in a crash.
As part of the Click It or Ticket initiative, law enforcement officials across the state will be looking for and ticketing unbuckled drivers and passengers in an effort to raise safety awareness and prevent fatalities. By Texas law, all occupants of a vehicle, including back seat passengers, must wear a seat belt. Each unbuckled occupant faces a ticket and fines up to $200, plus court costs. Last year, more than 21,200 seat belt citations were issued during the Click It or Ticket campaign.
This year's campaign enforcement period dates are May 20 through June 2.

Hi -
Our Lord has led me to comment on a particular secular website. He told me NOT to spend so much time commenting on Christian sites because, for the most part, they're already saved.
Anyhow, here's what our Lord allowed to occur when I commented on a secular website:
One day our Lord had me to go "toe to toe" with this dude who is vile in expressions. That's his M.O. He disagreed with me on some points and he called me bitc---s, told me to s-ck his private area..., etc. I grew up in the inner city and still live in the inner city. I've heard a lot of vile language but I have NEVER encountered any one as vulgar in tone as that dude on that secular site.
Anyhow, I'm sure that our Lord told me to go toe to toe with him - me expressing truths and him blasting me with profanity and much vulgarity. This went on for a lengthy period of time... On another day, we went at it again. Then the Lord told me to post a portion of my testimony on the site - telling about when I was married to a drug dealer who was also an addict and pimp. I shared how GOD loved and strengthened me out of that marriage mess. When vile dude read that, He came back and wrote, "Much respect to you, Sandra." I thanked him. GOD broke that dude down...with the use of my going toe to toe with him and my testimony.
That was months ago. Now every time that dude comes on the site and responds to my comments, he calls me Miss Sandra. He does NOT address anyone else on that site with a Miss or Mr. I'm the only one that he addresses with the title Miss. He continues his vile expressions relative to responses to other people on the site, but he has NEVER again responded with vileness to my comments. I don't correct him about his vileness relative to how he responds to others - our Lord told me not to. Also, even though the dude is vile, often he makes some solid and valid points. GOD did a change in that man...I'm a witness and others on that site notice it, too.
Our Lord told me to pray for that man and I do...
P.S. When dude and I were going toe to toe, people came on and rebuked him for disrespecting me and one person threatened to report his vileness to the moderator. And at least two people came on with comments to support what the Lord had had me to express. GOD used it all for His holy purposes...

Samuel Ichiye Hayakawa (July 18, 1906 – February 27, 1992) was a Canadian-born American academic and political figure of Japanese ancestry. He was an English professor, and served as president of San Francisco State University and then as United States Senator from California from 1977 to 1983. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, he was educated in the public schools of Calgary, Alberta and Winnipeg, Manitoba and received an undergraduate degree from the University of Manitoba in 1927 and graduate degrees in English from McGill University in 1928 and the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1935.
Academic career[edit]
Professionally, Hayakawa was a linguist, psychologist, semanticist, teacher and writer. He was an instructor at the University of Wisconsin from 1936 to 1939 and at Armour Institute of Technology (now Illinois Institute of Technology) from 1939 to 1948. Hayakawa was an important semanticist. His first book on the subject, Language in Thought and Action, was published in 1949 as an expansion of the earlier work, Language in Action, written since 1938 and published in 1941 to be a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. It is currently in its fifth edition and has greatly helped popularize Alfred Korzybski's general semantics and in effect semantics in general, while semantics or theory of meaning was overwhelmed by mysticism, propagandism and even scientism. In the preface, Hayakawa cautioned:
The original version of this book, Language in Action, published in 1941, was in many respects a response to the dangers of propaganda, especially as exemplified in Adolf Hitler's success in persuading millions to share his maniacal and destructive views. It was the writer's conviction then, as it remains now, that everyone needs to have a habitually critical attitude towards language — his own as well as that of others — both for the sake of his personal well being and for his adequate functioning as a citizen. Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue.
In addition to such motivation, he acknowledged his debt as follows:
My deepest debt in this book is to the General Semantics ('non-Aristotelian system') of Alfred Korzybski. I have also drawn heavily upon the works of other contributors to semantic thought: especially C. K. Ogden and I. A. Richards, Thorstein Veblen, Edward Sapir, Leonard Bloomfield, Karl R. Popper, Thurman Arnold, Jerome Frank, Jean Piaget, Charles Morris, Wendell Johnson, Irving J. Lee, Ernst Cassirer, Anatol Rapoport, Stuart Chase. I am also deeply indebted to the writings of numerous psychologists and psychiatrists with one or another of the dynamic points of view inspired by Sigmund Freud: Karl Menninger, Trigant Burrow, Carl Rogers, Kurt Lewin, N. R. F. Maier, Jurgen Ruesch, Gregory Bateson, Rudolf Dreikurs, Milton Rokeach. I have also found extremely helpful the writings of cultural anthropologists, especially those of Benjamin Lee Whorf, Ruth Benedict, Clyde Kluckhohn, Leslie A. White, Margaret Mead, Weston La Barre.
He was a lecturer at the University of Chicago from 1950 to 1955. During this time he presented a talk at the 1954 Conference of Activity Vector Analysts[1] at Lake George, New York in which he discussed a theory of personality from the semantic point of view. This was later published as The Semantic Barrier. This was a definitive lecture as it discussed the Darwinism of the "survival of self" as contrasted with the "survival of self-concept".
Hayakawa was an English professor at San Francisco State College (now called San Francisco State University) from 1955 to 1968. In the early 1960s, he helped organize the Anti Digit Dialing League, a group in San Francisco that opposed the introduction of all digit telephone exchange names. Among the students he trained were commune leader Stephen Gaskin and author Gerald Haslam. He became president of San Francisco State College during the turbulent period of 1968 to 1973, while Ronald Reagan served as governor of California and Joseph Alioto served as mayor of San Francisco, becoming president emeritus in 1973. Hayakawa wrote a column for the Register & Tribune Syndicate from 1970 to 1976.
Student strike at San Francisco State University[edit]
During 1968-69, there was a bitter student and Black Panthers strike at San Francisco State University for the purpose of gaining an Ethnic Studies program. It was a major news event at the time and chapter in the radical history of the United States and the Bay Area. The strike was led by the Third World Liberation Front supported by Students for a Democratic Society, the Black Panthers and the counter-cultural community, among others. It proposed 15 "non-negotiable demands", including a Black Studies department to be chaired by sociologist Nathan Hare independent of the university administration and open admission to all black students to "put an end to racism", an unconditional, immediate end to the War in Vietnam and the university's involvement with it. It was threatened that if these demands were not immediately and completely satisfied the entire campus was to be forcibly shut down.[2] Hayakawa became popular with conservative voters in this period after he pulled the wires out from the loud speakers on a protesters' van at an outdoor rally, dramatically disrupting it.[3][4][5] Hayakawa relented on December 6, 1968 and created the first-in-the-nation College of Ethnic Studies [2].
Political career[edit]
Hayakawa was elected in California to the United States Senate as a Republican in 1976,[6] defeating incumbent Democrat John V. Tunney. Hayakawa served from January 3, 1977, to January 3, 1983.
During his 1976 Senate campaign, he spoke about the proposal to transfer possession of the Panama Canal and Canal Zone from the United States to Panama. Hayakawa said, "We should keep the Panama Canal. After all, we stole it fair and square."[7] However, in 1978 he helped win Senate approval of the Torrijos–Carter Treaties which transferred control of the zone and canal to Panama. [8]
He did not run for reelection in 1982 and was succeeded by Republican Pete Wilson.
Hayakawa founded the political lobbying organization U.S. English, which is dedicated to making the English language the official language of the United States.[9] As a former U.S. senator in the late 1980s, he opposed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which provided for apologies and monetary reparations to persons of Japanese ancestry who were interned by the federal government during World War II.[10]
Hayakawa was a resident of Mill Valley, California, until his death in nearby Greenbrae, in 1992. He was also a member of the Bohemian Club. He had an abiding interest in traditional jazz and wrote extensively on that subject, including several erudite sets of album liner notes. Sometimes in his lectures on semantics, he was joined by the respected traditional jazz pianist, Don Ewell, whom Hayakawa employed to demonstrate various points in which he analyzed semantic and musical principles.
In popular culture[edit]
- Hayakawa's work in General Semantics is referred to extensively in A.E. Van Vogt's Null-A novels, The World of Null-A and The Pawns of Null-A.
- Hayakawa is mentioned in the voice-over in the coda of Stevie Wonder's song "Black Man," from the album Songs in the Key of Life.

VDOT's Subdivision Street Requirements (2005)
Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements - Chapter 382
Replaced SSR on March 9, 2009
Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements - Chapter 382
§ 33.1-70.3 of the Code of Virginia required the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) to develop the Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements (SSAR). The SSAR supersedes the January 2005 edition of the Subdivision Street Requirements (SSR).
The CTB approved the SSAR at its meeting on Feb. 19, 2009. The regulation became effective upon its submittal to the Registrar of Virginia, which took place on March 9, 2009.
Developments initially submitted under the SSR may continue under those requirements if they meet the grandfathering provisions of the SSAR.
Subdivision Street Requirements
In 2005, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), working closely with an external subdivision street requirements advisory committee, completed the most comprehensive revision of the department's Subdivision Street Requirements (SSR) since they were first adopted in 1949. At the time, the Subdivision Street Requirements governed the acceptance of subdivision streets into the secondary system of state highways for maintenance by VDOT.
Following a two-year review and revision process, under procedures prescribed by the Administrative Process Act, VDOT's SSR went into effect Jan. 1, 2005.
In addition to major changes to the regulatory provisions of the SSR, design-related provisions were part of the department's Road Design Manual (Appendix B).
- 2005 Subdivision Street Requirements (537 KB)
- RDM Appendix B: Subdivision Street Design Guide (1.8 MB)
- 2000 Pavement Design Guide (274 KB)
- 1996 Subdivision Street Requirements (330 KB, for reference only)
If you would like additional information regarding the SSR, please contact your VDOT district office or VDOT's Central Office in Richmond.

A southwest Iowa man has been sentenced to serve 20 years in prison for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine in Mills County and other areas of southwest Iowa.
In addition to the 20-year prison sentence, William Lonnie Hanshaw, 52, of Red Oak was also sentenced in U.S. District Court to 10 years of supervised release and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the state Crime Victim Fund.
Hanshaw's sentence was announced last week in a news release from the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa.
The Fountains Ballroom hosted a coffee Thursday for members of the Glenwood Area Chamber of Commerce.
Just 168 days ago, the Fountains Ballroom was hosting fire departments from Glenwood, Oak Township, Pacific Junction and Silver City.
A fire raged through the popular wedding facility northwest of Mineola on Dec. 17, destroying the building and threatening the more than 80 weddings already scheduled at the facility and the family-run business owned by Erin and Marty Williams.
Fremont-Mills pitcher Mindy Lorimor struck out all 21 batters she faced in an 8-0 perfect game victory for the Knight softball team over Farragut on Friday.
Lorimor, who had been averaging 12 strikeouts per game in seven starts this season, did not allow a walk in improving her record to 5-2.
The Knight offense pounded out eight hits, led by first baseman Hannah Fichter's 3-for-4 night. Lorimor, Emily Aistrope, Lauren Furnas, Chelsea Younts and Lynde Madison each added a hit.
Fremont-Mills 8,
Essex 0
A Bryan Harless' single with two outs in the bottom of the seventh gave the Glenwood baseball team a come-from-behind 11-10 victory over A-D-M at the Clarinda Baseball Invitational Tournament on Saturday.
"We really played well," said Glenwood coach Brett Elam. "We had all the momentum, lost it and never gave up. The kids kept fighting and scrapping."
Molly Bryan threw her first career no hitter and smacked a first inning homerun as the Glenwood softball team downed Council Bluffs St. Albert 10-0 in a five inning win.
Bryan, a freshman, struck out eight and did not walk a batter in the win. She was also 3-for-3 at the plate with five RBIs.
Nicole Charland added a double and a homerun and drove in two runs.
"This is the hitting I've been waiting for," said Glenwood coach Tim Stanton. "We'd been hitting good these last few games but our power really showed up this game."
A former City Hall employee has been appointed to fill a position on the Glenwood City Council.
Susan Hirschman was appointed to the position Tuesday, May 26, during the city council's regular meeting. She was one of three citizens considered for the Ward III seat that became vacant when Kim Clark resigned from the council in April.
In a verbal poll of council members, Hirschman received the recommendation of Allan Christiansen and Clare Bangs. Craig Florian voiced his support for Jeremy Rodman, while Kay LeFever recommended Lyn Mintle.

I make the sauce in the microwave using a 4 cup Pyrex bowl. Heat all the milk until simmering (about 90 seconds) then whisk in flour, heat another minute or so until thickened, whisk smooth then proceed with the recipe as written. I use a lot more spaghetti sauce (homemade). I put 1 cup in the lasagna pan to begin and 2 cups in the mushroom mixture. I bake it at 350 for an hour then let it cool, refrigerate overnight, then reheat a day or so later. Gives the flavors time to blend. Frequently I make it in two 8 x 8 pans and freeze one after the initial baking.

Safety and risk minimization in the operator control of plant machinery
Machine and operator safety must be considered at all stages of its service life and never become an afterthought
Modern machines are being produced with faster lead times—and designed to operate at considerably higher speeds than in the past. In the great race to meet production deadlines and budgets, safety must never be an afterthought. The least effective and most costly safety fixes are made after a machine has been commissioned and problems arise. Machine and operator safety must be considered at all stages of its service life from design to commissioning to operation and maintenance.
Machine functional safety standards still a work in progress
Operating safely at higher performance dynamics calls for uniform safety concepts at the component, machine and system design levels. Mechanical engineers developing safe machines are bound by standards and need to know how these aggregate standards may affect their designs. Not only is it important to understand the application ranges, but also how standards differ and overlap.
Effective in 2010, the comprehensive Machinery Directive (MD) 2006/42/EC defines requirements to be met for machines intended for the European Economic Area (EEA). MD is universally applicable for machinery, replaceable equipment, safety components, load handling devices, chains, ropes and lifting straps, detachable cardan shafts, partial machines and service elevators.
When a machine is built, mechanical engineers must confirm that MD requirements are met, indicated by affixing the CE mark to the machine, indicating that it can be put to market in the EEA. While CSA Standard Z432-04-Safeguarding of Machinery includes basic concepts and general safety considerations for design, the new European MD is designed to ensure consistent global standards of safety—commonly referred to as harmonization.
All machine safety standards are intended to ensure that safety doesn't get shortchanged. Until recently, a safe torque off (STO) and safe stop 1 (SS1) function was sufficient for most applications. However, the trend towards increased functional safety in electrical drive and automation technology has gained traction. EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 both address issues of functional safety of machinery.
In the field of machine and systems engineering, the EN IEC 62061 standard addresses the functional safety of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems. As such, the standard does not apply to hydraulic, pneumatic or electromechanical safety-related control elements, for example. In December 2011, EN ISO 13849-1 completely replaced EN 954-1. For machine builders and plants this meant changes affecting product certification, specifically requiring that probability calculations be taken into account when defining safety. EN ISO 13849-1 can be applied to the safety-related parts of control systems and all types of machines, regardless of the technology and energy used (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, etc.).
Implementing safety at the product level can provide the best possible support to those responsible for machine safety and overall plant performance levels. Regardless of whether an engineer chooses to work in compliance with EN ISO 13849-1 or EN IEC 62061, probability calculations are now required to verify the reliability of the safety-related parts of machine controls. So, the relevant safety-related parameters of individual components come into play.
Understanding specification functions of safety-related parts
What risks does the machine pose? That should be among the first questions asked during the design phase. It can be fundamentally assumed that any hazard prevailing on a machine will sooner or later cause damage if protective measures are not taken. Therefore all potential hazards must be identified very early in development.
A comprehensive risk and hazard analysis can identify and assess risks posed by each potential hazard. Findings of the analysis can then be used to make decisions about the need to reduce risks. If these initial steps identify a need for risk minimization, each of the standards set out a hierarchy of measures to mitigate and minimize hazards to acceptable levels via design measures, protective devices and user information.
Like its predecessor standard, EN ISO 13849-1 uses a risk graph. The graph indicates PLr (performance level required). This is the new gauge used to measure actual performance level (PL) achieved following implementation of defined safety components. The PL refers to the ability of safety-related parts of a control system (SRP/CS) to perform a safety function designed to achieve the expected reduction in risk. Both quantitative and qualitative aspects are taken into account. In short, the PL must be greater than or equal to the PLr.
Risk parameters, including frequency, severity of injury, and avoidance tactics, must now be evaluated for each hazard identified in the risk and hazard analysis. If design measures can be taken to minimize the risk, the risk graph process (iterative method) is repeated, with the aim of achieving a lower PLr for previously more serious hazards. If this can be achieved, the risk will have been successfully minimized by design.
However, in many cases, design measures are insufficient, so protective devices are needed to achieve adequate risk minimization. It is within this context that safety functions executed by SRP/CS are defined. SRP/CS measures include the entire safety chain comprised of sensors (detect), logic (process) and actuators (switches). Safety functions are defined on the basis of both the application and the hazard. They are often specified as a Type C (product standard), which sets out precise specifications for special machines. In the absence of a C standard, safety functions are defined by the machine designer. Typical safety functions are described in more detail in EN ISO 13849-1 Section 5.1 Specification of safety functions. The safety functions for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems are not described in EN ISO 13849-1, but in the separate standard IEC 61800-5-2.
The EN ISO 13849-1 standard requires that a specification of functional safety requirements be drafted containing details about each safety function to be executed. To this end, the Plr must be defined as described above and documented in writing. Additionally, one must define the necessary interfaces with other control functions and required error responses specified. The PL must be estimated for each selected SRP/CS executing a safety function. Parameters include identifying each structure by category, mean time to failure danger of individual components, diagnostic coverage, common cause failure, the behavior of safety function under error conditions, safety related software, systematic errors, and the ability to execute a safety function under foreseeable ambient conditions in the plant operation. Standard EN ISO 13849-1 uses a graph to describe a simple way of estimating the PL. The graph illustrates the relationship between the familiar category from EN 954-1 and new relevant safety-related parameters.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

On board digital I/O can be expanded by means of the CAN interface and CPI I/O from Festo.
Compact design and low weight make these cameras an ideal quality-inspection tool. With digital I/O, they are uncomplicated to integrate into existing systems and easy to commission by means of parameterization. The systems' ability to learn up to 256 work pieces means maximum flexibility with regard to setup. The SBO-Q ensures 100 percent quality inspection, even where there are an enormous variety of part types. Whether it is used for orientation detection of small parts, the measurement of turned parts, the precise positioning of drives, code reading or character recognition, or the location of objects for the control of handling equipment, the intelligent vision system provides reliable inspection results for an extremely broad range of applications.
Embedded PLC performs autonomous control tasks for motion plus I/O. Standard software interfaces for Ethernet and CAN and integrated 24 V I/Os. Sensor resolution 640 x 480, 752 x 480, or 1,280 x 1,024 pixels (monochrome and color).

Comment: Assets vs Fiat Currency (Score 1) 532
Trusting one's wealth to fiat currency is foolish, it's being manipulated via fractional reserve banking and it's backed by good wishes by the issuing authority. If you google bsi.org and derivatives, take a look at the PDF for 2H12, $633T dollars worth of derivatives changed hands. That's just under $4T every 24 hours. That market nearly imploded in 08 until Bush and his TARP saved the day for some. Reason I why I am pointing this out, nothing has changed since 08, derivative market which the banks (including the Federal Reserve which is not apart of the US government) have been playing as a one arm bandit, is even more unstable today. If a bank goes bust playing the derivative market, new US laws says the holders of the derivatives has priority over the depositors. If you think the FDIC is going to save your money, it has enough to cover 1% of all deposits which should cover 1% of the banks closing. If it goes higher then that, expect to see what Canada has, bail in where depositors lose x%. Now if enough banks get caught in a derivative implosions caused by currency wars, trade wars, and interest hikes, central banks will have to pump massive amount of money to replace the 85% that is currently out there via fractional reserve banking and other self created banking fund gimmicks that will disappear with bank closings. Which means fiat currencies could lose massive purchasing power in a few days while assets climb to massive heights.
In other words, some Global Elites will wake up one day and take the red pill and act accordingly.

111 Ill From Pesticides Used On Bed Bugs
September 23, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
ATLANTA, Sept. 23 (UPI) — There were 111 cases of acute illness confirmed from the use of insecticides to control bed bugs in seven states from 2003 to 2010, U.S. officials say.
The report, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, said 93 percent if the cases occurred among people living in private homes where the pesticides were applied by do-it-your-selfers. The ailments most frequently involved nervous system, respiratory, and gastrointestinal effects, the report said.
"Frequently contributing factors included excessive insecticide application, failure to wash or change pesticide-treated bedding, and either a lack of notification or ineffective notification of pesticide application," the report said.
"Although the number of acute illnesses from insecticides used to control bed bugs does not suggest a large public health burden, such incidents can have serious health effects."
In the report, health officials suggested ways to keep cases from escalating, including strengthening media campaigns to educate the public about bed bug-related issues and including non-chemical methods to control the pests as well as methods to prevent infestation in the first place, such as avoiding the purchase of used mattresses, box springs and bedding.
If pesticides are warranted, certified applicators should do the application, health officials said.
