ATTORNEYS United States Patent INFLATABLE MIRROR CONSTRUCTION CAPABLE This invention relates in general to readily erectable structures for use in space, and in particular to a new and useful mirror construction particularly for utilizing solar energy in current supply plants of space stations and flying bodies.
The present invention has particular application in respect to the construction of a mirror structure which has particular utility for reflecting and concentrating rays from the sun for the purpose of heating suitable energy conversion systems, such as, for example, thermoelectric or thermionic converters to temperatures which may range from 1000 to 1500 K. or even to higher temperatures. Mirrors of this nature are preferably in the form of paraboloids. The useful efliciency or capacity required for mirrors of this nature amounts to several kilowatts, and it is therefore necessary to have large diameter mirrors of more than 5 meters in diameter.
-Mirrors of such a large size cannot ordinarily be propelled into outer space with the available propelling means. Therefore, such mirrors have to be folded or collapsed into a fraction of their size and have to be launched in a collapsed condition in order for them to be accommodated in a rocket-operated flying body. After the flying body has reached the selected orbit altitude, the structures are converted into their true size by rapid erection means such as by inflation. Mirrors of this nature must be light as possible and they must be able to withstand the conditions prevailing in outer space,
such as, for example, the electromagnetic rays and various particle arys, meteorites, etc., as well as significant temperature variations and fluctuations. In addition, the vacuum and the lack of gravity prevailing in outer space have to be considerd in such mirror construcions.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a mirror structure or the like which is advantage- .ously formed of a double walled annular outer member or ring which may be easily folded for transportation to outer space and then inflated when it arrives at its destination. The outer ring forms an exterior portion or frame of the structure, and a central connecting web of mirror lens portion is formed by a double wall member which may be oriented in a properly erected curved position by means of a removable inflatable member.v The curve between the inflatable member and the double wall member is filled with a gas in space in order to expand the double wall member into a curve of the general form of a'paraboloid: The entire structure is capable of being folded into a'small condition so that it may be stored in a flying body for flying into space, and is thereafter converted to its full sized operative condition.
In accordance with a feature of the invention the double wall portion which forms the ring is formed into a relaspace between the double wall member and an additional wall element. The additional wall element is constructed so that it may be easily blown oil or removed from a position obstructing the surface of the double wall member which lies within the annular ring.
The double wall member which is formed into a paraboloid will form the mirror, and for this purpose the exterior surface on either one or both sides is coated with a metal such as aluminum. The double wall element is of a configuration so that it is possible to assume the exact form of a paraboloid and it is urged into such a form by the inflation of the space between it and a construction element which is also secured to the ring. This constructional element advantageously includes at least one separating area for the purpose of effecting its removal after the supporting skeleton has been completely erected.
The annular ring or torus which will be formed by the plastic between the double walls of the first ring element is connected with the double wall element which forms the paraboloid mirror in one plane, which plane is determined by means of an encircling member or small ring which has a constant diameter which is secured at the inner side of the larger ring frame.
According to a preferred embodiment, the ring frame and the paraboloid dish consist of a synthetic material and carry a metal layer on the outwardly directed surfaces. The synthetic material may be, for example, a polyester. The supporting skeleton comprising the frame and central web or lens portion is formed in situ in space from synthetic foam which is filled in a liquid condition and which solidifies after having been filled in between the double-walled areas. The material which may be used for this purpose may be, for example, a substance known in the trade under the name Moltopran.
The paraboloid mirror of the invention may therefore be transported into space in a collapsed or folded condition and thus accommodated within a container which advantageously includes a supply of compressed gas, a granular substance, as well as a supply of the liquid for the formation of the synthetic foam. The container is propelled into space and then an opening therein is formed by automatic means and the collapsed paraboloid mirror is ejected by means of compressed gas. The ring frame is filled with a compressed gas within the inner wall thereof. Thereafter the garnular substance and the liquid are introduced between the inner and outer walls of the ring in order to form a supporting ring or frame of synthetic foam. After solidification of the supporting ring skeleton, the lens body is inflated and the synthetic foam which has been formed of the granular material and the liquid is introduced between the layers of the doubled-walled lens-forming portion. After this latter skeleton structure has solidified, the layer or foil which was inflated with it to form the paraboloid configuration is blown off or otherwise removed so that the mirror is exposed. After releasing the connections of the container which carries the mirror to space, the mirror can then be properly aligned to adjust it relative to the energy generating system.
Of course it should be appreciated that the device may serve other purposes than as a mirror for utilizing solar energy and may, for example, function to supply energy for communication transmission systems which operate in the region of optical waves.
In a preferred arrangement the foil which is removed from a location covering the lens portion is advantageously formed of a plurality of segmental or pieshaped portions, each of which includes a central steel element or spring which is connected to the inner periphery of the ring frame and which may be coiled at such periphery. The element advantageously includes separation lines which define the pie-shaped sections but which are held integrally together until the mirror has been completely erected. Thereafter the separation lines will be ruptured in any conventional way so that the spring may become effective to roll up the material adjacent the inner periphery of the spring and out of an obstructing position in respect to the lens. To facilitate the actuation of the separation of the covering into rolled-up pie-shaped segments, radially strung wires are provided which reach high temperatures and cause a burning away of the material along the lines of the wire.
Accordingly it is an object of this invention to provide an improved inflatable structure for use in space.
A further object of the invention is to provide an inflatable mirror structure for use in space which includes an outer rim portion made of a double wall element which is adapted to be filled with a solidifying material and a connecting web portion which is adapted to form the lens made of a double Wall construction for filling with a solidfying material and with means for inflating the web portion so that it forms a paraboloid shape prior to its solidification,
A further object of the invention is to provide a structure such as a mirror for use in space which includes an outer ring portion of double wall construction with a connecting web of double wall construction, a member connected to the Web and spaced therefrom, said member with the web being inflatable to form the web into a preselected curved configuration located within the ring.
A further object of the invention is to provide a structure for use in making space installations which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention.
In the drawings:

FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 with the lens portion in an erected condition;
FIG. 6 is a section similar to FIG. 5 indicating the element used for inflation broken away and disposed in a rolled-up condition;
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the structure in the condition indicated in FIG. 5;
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 7, indicating the manner in which the member employed for inflation is rolled away; and
FIG. 9 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line 9-9 of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings in particular the invention embodied therein comprises inflatable structure-forming means generally designated 20 in FIG. 2 which may be erected into a rigid structure generally designated 22, as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 6. In the embodiment of the invention the erected structure 22 comprises a mirror 13 which may be employed, for example, in the utilization of solar energy.
In accordance wtih the invention, the device for forming the rigid structure in space 20 comprises a ring or torus section for forming a frame generally designated 3 which is made up of an inner layer wall or foil 1 and an outer layer wall or foil 2 which define an inner inflatable compartment and a surrounding material compartment. As indicated in FIG. 9, a ring 4 of constant diameter is secured to the exterior face of the exterior wall 2 of the torus 3. The ring 4 is partially embraced by the rim or edge of a foil or layer 5, The foil or layer 5 is capable of assuming exactly the shape of a paraboloid. The foil 5 may, for example, be composed of individual sectors or of individual circular rings. As indicated, the foil 5 is connected to the exterior Wall 2 directly adjacent the ring 4. An additional wall or foil 6 is also secured to the outer foil 2 around its complete periphery and is held in spaced relationship to the foil 5 by means of spacer element 7. The spacer 7 is held between walls 5 and 6 to maintain the two walls at an approximately constant distance from each other. Spacers 7' are also arranged between the inner and outer walls 1 and 2 of the torus 3. A valve 9 which is diagrammatically indicated in the drawing extends from the exterior of the wall 2 to the interior of the wall 1 and is provided for inflating the space on the interior of the Wall 1. An additional wall or inflatable member 10 is connected around its periphery to the exterior of the exterior wall 2 at a location adjacent the edges of the wall 5. This additional wall also has a valve 8 which is diagrammatically indicated and which provides means for introducing a gas into the space between the foils 10 and 5. In an inflated condition of the walls 5 and 10 the wall 5 is formed into the lens body of a mirror, the periphery of which is bounded by the torus 3 (see, for example, FIG. 4).
As indicated particularly in FIG. 7, the Wall 10 is divided into sectors by means of separating lines or areas 11. Each sector 24 is provided with a centrally arranged radially extending band or strip spring 12. Before the device is ready for operation the separating areas 11 will be separated in any conventional way, and once this is accomplished the springs 12 cause each segment to roll up, as partially indicated in FIG. 8 in various phases, until the entire segment is rolled into a ring indicated 10a in FIG. 1.
If the wall 10 is made of a synthetic material such as polyester, then the separating areas 11 are advantageously formed by heating wires which extend radially outwardly from the inner periphery of the torus 3 along the foil 10. These heating wires are advantageously connected to a current supply, and when they are supplied with current the heat generated causes the separation of the segment 24 along the separating areas 11. The separating areas 11 may also be constituted, for example, as grooves or weakened areas which will rupture upon increase of the gas pressure in the space defined by the walls 5 and 10. In some instances it is desirable that the separating areas may form an annular ring which extends concentrically to the torus 3 adjacent the inner periphery of the outer foil 2. In such event the springs 12 are not required, since the wall 10 is blown off by gas pressure. In those instances where the walls 1, 2, 5 and 6 are made up of a synthetic material, for example, of polyester, then their surfaces which are directed outwardly are provided with a metal layer 13 in order to obtain the maximum possible reflection of the sun rays (see FIGS. 1 and 9). For this metal reflecting surface aluminum or nickel is advantageously employed. The ring 4 is advantageously made of a synthetic material.
For the purpose of transporting the structure consisting of the foils 1, 2, 5, 6 and 10, as indicated in FIG. 2, into space, the structure is inserted into a container (not shown) which also carries a supply of compressed g a granulate or granular mass, and a supply of liquid for the formation of a synthetic foam. This synthetic foam is inserted in the spaces defined between the walls 1 and 2 and the walls 5 and 6 and forms in a solidified condition a supporting frame for the folded out torus of the lens body which is embraced thereby. The un folding of the paraboloid mirror which has been conveyed into outer space proceeds, as indicated in connection with FIGS. 2 to 8.
After the lid of the container (not shown) has been blown off and after release of the folded walls, the interior of the space embraced by the foil 1 of the torus 3 is filled with compressed gas through the valve 9 (see FIG. 2).
Through one or several openings (not shown) of the container the synthetic foam which has been formed therein from the granulate and the liquid reaches into the ring-shaped inner space of the torus 3 defined by the walls 1 and 2. The spacers 7 insure that the relative concentric position of the walls 1 and 2 is maintained, while permitting the inflow of the liquid. Synthetic foam forms after the liquid filler solidifies between walls 1 and 2 to form the supporting skeleton 14, as indicated in FIGS. 3 and 1. Thereafter, the space between the walls '5 and is filled with compressed gas through valve 8 so that the walls 5 and 6 are formed into the shape indicated to form the lens body. The diameter of the lens body is deter-mined by the ring 4 (FIG. 9). After the inflation of the space between the walls 5 and 10, the space between the walls 5 and 6 is filled with a synthetic foam. This is accomplished through one or several openings in the foil 6 which have not been indicated. The synthetic foam forms, after its solidification, a further supporting skeleton 15, as indicated in FIG. 5.
At this stage of the erection the foil 10 is released from the ring torus 3 such as by supplying current to wires which cause separation along the separating areas 11 and rolling up of each segment 24 which is caused by the springs 12. When this is fully accomplished, a bead 10a is formed around the inner surface of the torus 3. The metal-covered surface 13 of the foil 5 is thus released, as indicated in FIGS. 1, 6 and 8. The paraboloid mirror which is thus formed and which is stabilized by the annular torus is indicated in a fully erected form in FIG. 1. In this state it can then be adjusted or aligned in the usual manner in an energy conversion system or a transmission system which has been transported into space in the same manner.
Such a paraboloid mirror has many important advantages. The exact inner diameter of the torus and the outer diameter of the paraboloid mirror is determined by the ring 4 which has a constant diameter. The ring 4 also insures that the connection between the torus and the paraboloid mirror, after the supporting skeleton 14 has been formed, will be situated in one plane. Due to the metalization of the outwardly directed surfaces of the foil, evaporation and sublimation are decreased. The metal layer 13 also prevents a too strong heating by thermic rays and reduces temperature fluctuation which has been caused by thermic rays and reduces temperature fluctuation which has been caused by varying sun ray impingement during orbiting. The sensitivity of the synthetic materials used relative to ultra-violet rays is also strongly reduce-d by the presence of the metal layer. The striking of meteorites on the mirror has no significant influence on the geometrical form of the paraboloid mirror after the supporting skeleton has been inserted. Only during the inflation procedure would it be possible for the meteorites t-o influence the shape of the resultant structure.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the inventive principles, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.

Recently having spent time in Soroti, Uganda, where we've installed our first infant warmers in the country at the Teso Safe Motherhood Project (TSMP), I witnessed first-hand the challenges surrounding the management of hypothermia, an extremely misunderstood illness. Hypothermia is defined as having a body temperature of less than 36.5 degrees Celsius; being in a room-temperature climate to a hypothermic infant feels similar to an adult being in freezing-cold water. Only after speaking with the staff at TSMP, a clinic that provides health care to the most vulnerable populations in the region, did the challenges specific to this setting become apparent.

Source: Museum Victoria
This collection aims to document and preserve the history of Victorian workers, and to record their impact on and contribution to Australian society.
Focussing on the post-European settlement period to the present, it aims to reflect the experiences and actions of individuals and groups of workers in different historical, personal, social, economic and cultural settings. It also aims to document the personal and unique renderings of workers' experiences and actions.
Much of the collection documents 'case studies' of working life in Victoria and Australia. These offer insight into a particular type of workplace and work, with some emphasis on workers' voices, while the wider collection represents a variety of working-life skills, experiences and cultures.
The strengths of the collection lie in its coverage of early to mid-20th century factory work, small businesses and trades and the trade union movement. It focuses on work practices in more formal work environments such as factories, commercial workshops and the traditional apprentice-based trades, but is complemented by other collections of less formal workplace objects, such as the home work and handicrafts area in the Domestic and Community Life Collection.
Trades relating to metalworking and precision engineering, especially those requiring the extensive use of machine tools and power tools, are covered under the Engineering Collection rather than in Trades.

Apologies in advance as I have not really answered your question but I have found that after giving a demo to 5 different primaries of office 365 and Google Apps all prefered the Google system as they could move the paid website, VLE, mail etc to a system that is free. Office 365 does most of this for free but not all. The biggest reason given by the primaries was that the Google 'Sites' system is integrated with the other apps like Docs, picasa, calendar etc and that Sites was so easy for the teachers to use.
Sharepoint is a pain in the ... imo.

Now the reason I am posting this here is because by learning character optimization you can often get very good insight into monster building. I've already posted in the "What's a DM to do ?" forum and didn't get much feedback. I figured that for the mechanical side of things, Char OP could be the best placed to help. I know that many of you are DM's yourselves and might be able to offer very good advice.
Much thanks.
Demise, Lich Skullborn
Level 11 Elite, medium fey humanoid (elf)
Controller (Leader)
HP 258; Bloodied 129 Initiative +10
AC 27; Fort 25; Reflex 24; Will 27 Perception +11
Speed 7 Darkvision
Immune disease, poison; Resist 10 necrotic, 10 cold
Saving Throws +5; Action Points 2
Arcana +16; Bluff +15, History +16, Religion +16, Stealth +13
Allignment: EVIL Languages: Common, Draconic, Elven, Giant
In the Presence of Demise - Aura 5 (Necrotic, Cold)
Any creature that enters or starts its turn in the aura takes 5 necrotic and cold damage.
Shadowdance Robes
Demise's area attacks and ranged attacks don't provoke opportunity attacks.
Wild Step
Demise ignores difficult terrain when she shifts.
Necrotic Mastery
Demise can change the damage type of any power she uses to Necrotic or add the Necrotic keyword to it. Even powers that don't normally have an energy type.
When Demise is reduced to 0 hit points, she and possessions crumble into dust, but she is not truly destroyed. She reappears in 1d10 days within 1 square of her phylactery. Unless her phylactery is found and destroyed.
Demise's Will
Whenever Demise begins her turn with a effect, her sheer willpower allows her to reduce the condition to a lesser one. Dominated -> Stunned -> Dazed -> Condition Ends. Retrained -> Immobilized -> Slowed -> Condition Ends. So IE: Demise begins her turned stunned, she becomes instead dazed.
Standard Actions
Life Tap (necrotic, healing) - At-Will, MBA
Attack: +15 vs Fort; Demise gently syphons her victims life energy into herself.
Hit: 2d6 + 8 necrotic damage, and Demise regains 15 hitpoints.
Vampiric Beam (necrotic, healing) - At-Will, RBA
Attack: Ranged 10; +15 vs Fort; Demise raises her arm and a dark beam of energy lashes out at her victim, rejuvinating Demise.
Hit: 2d8 + 6 necrotic damage, and Demise regains 5 hit points. If this attack bloodies a target, that target is weakened until the end of Demise's next turn.
Twin Beams - At-Will
Effect: Demise makes two Vampiric Beam attacks.
Zombie Cloud (poison, zone) - Encounter
Attack: Area burst 1 within 10; +15 vs Fort
Hit: 4d8 + 6 poison damage. The burst creates a zone of lightly obscured squares. A creature that enters the zone or starts its turn there takes 1d8 + 4 poison damage. A living creature reduced to 0 hit points or fewer within the zone rises on its turn with 1 hit point and is dominated (no save), but can use only basic attacks. Any healing used on a dominated target works normally and ends the dominated effect. Demise can move the cloud 3 squares as a move action. Sustain Minor: The zone persists.
Lich's Ire (cold) - Recharge 4,5,6
Attack: Area burst 2 within 10; +14 vs Reflex; Demise collects frost into an orb that she lobs at her foes.
Hit: 2d8 + 8 cold damage. The target takes ongoing 5 cold damage and is immobilized (save ends both). Miss: Half damage, and the target is slowed (save ends).
Second Wind (healing) - Encounter
Effect: Demise spends a healing surge and regains 64 hit points. She gains a +2 bonus to all defenses until the start of her next turn.
Move Actions
Ghostwalk - Encounter
Effect: Demise can shift up to her speed. She becomes insubstantial and gains phasing until the end of her next turn.
Minor Actions
Frightful Gaze (fear, gaze) - At-Will
Attack: Close blast 3; +13 vs Will
Hit: The target is pushed 5 squares and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls (save ends). First Failed Saving Throw: The target is dazed, immobilized, and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls (save ends all).
Hideous Laughter (fear, psychic) - Encounter, Recharges when Demise bloodies an or reduces an enemy to 0 hit points.
Attack: Close Blast 3; +13 vs Will
Hit: 1d8 + 4 psychic damage, and the target takes a -3 penalty to all defenses until the end of Demise's next turn.
Demise's Guile - Recharge 5,6
Effect: Demise regains the use of an expended encounter power.
Deceptive Veil (illusion) - At-Will
Effect: Demise can disguise herself to appear as any Medium humanoid, usually a beautiful elf or eladrin. A successful Insight check (opponsed by Demise's Bluff check) pierces the disguise.
Free Actions
Elven Accuracy - Encounter
Effect: Demise can reroll an attack roll, taking the second result even if it's lower.
Now my main issue is balance, I'm trying to create something challenging for the party (which consists of a Ranger, Cleric, Barb, Wizard x2 and a Monk) but not something too over the top. The PC's should be level 10 going to 11 by the end of this encounter. What I've currently done is take a MM3 version of Demise as she was in the module, leveled her up to 11 and used the Lich template in the dungeon master's guide. This gave her more hp, +2 AC, +4 Will, +4 Fort, +2 saves and a power to regain encounter powers that recharges (Demise's Guile). I tried to keep as much of the original her as possible while adding things from other Lich monsters (from the book Open Grave). I've boosted some of her powers to be more potent as well.
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
EDIT: Removed regeneration, added a trait to deal with daze and stunned conditions. Changed the trait to be more about reduction instead of negation as suggested by the board.

The late Adam Yauch-- aka Beastie Boys' MCA-- took care to ensure his legacy as a true punk before he died. DNAInfo reports that his will prohibits the use of Beastie Boys songs in advertisements, which happens often with deceased artists.

Video: The Best of the Beastie Boys
By Ryan Dombal on May 4, 2012 at 3:28 p.m. EDT
Just as the Beastie Boys constantly surprised with musical change-ups over the last quarter century, the trio were innovators in the video realm as well. From their earliest days as party-crashing wiseguys in "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)", to the saturated rawness of "So What'cha Want", to their iconic cops-and-robbers sendup "Sabotage", to the pop-locking robot of "Intergalactic", to last year's star-studded "Make Some Noise", these striking images gave us a visual timeline for the trio's unlikely trajectory.

A talk with Linda Bender DVM author and Animal Advocate
in Self Help
Combining a scientist's clear knowledge with a deep spiritual understanding of the inter-connectedness of all life, she reveals the amazing power our pets and wildlife have to heal and enrich our lives.

An Interview with Heart Mom, CHD Advocate and Author Lori M. Jones!
in Health
One of the most helpless feelings in the world is being told your child has a congenital heart defect, will need surgery and will have a lifetime of follow-up appointments and untold future procedures. Some parents have great difficulty dealing with this kind of stress, all parents suffer post-traumatic stress syndrome after they hand their children over to a surgeon without knowing if they'll ever see their children alive again. It takes a really special parent to survive that trauma and then to turn that angst into a vehicle to help others. Our interview with Lori M. Jones will cover her involvement as a congenital heart defect advocate and an author of a book to help others in the CHD community. Join us as we find out what inspired her to reach out to help others, what her greatest challenge was in writing her book and what new projects she has on the horizon.
Joy Keys chats with Social Justice Advocate Bryan Stevenson
Bryan Stevenson is a public-interest lawyer who has dedicated his career to helping the poor, the incarcerated and the condemned. He's a professor of law at New York University Law School and the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, an Alabama-based group that has won major legal challenges eliminating excessive and unfair sentencing, exonerating innocent prisoners on death row, confronting abuse of the incarcerated and the mentally ill, and aiding children prosecuted as adults.
EJI won an historic ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court holding that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for all children 17 or younger are unconstitutional. He has won relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, argued six times before the Supreme Court, and won national acclaim for his work challenging bias against the poor and people of color. He has received numerous awards, including the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant. He is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and the Harvard School of Government, and has been awarded 14 honorary doctorate degrees.
Among the first cases Bryan took on was that of Walter McMillan, a black man from Harper Lee's hometown of Monroeville who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn't commit. The case would change Bryan's life and transform his understanding of justice and mercy forever.
JUST MERCY (Spiegel and Grau Hardcover) follows the suspenseful battle to free Walter before the state executes him, while also stepping back to tell the profoundly moving stories of men, women, and even children, who found themselves at the mercy of a system often incapable of showing it.

Aston Kutcher Files for Divorce From Demi Moore
22 Dec, 2012
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ashton Kutcher filed court papers Friday to end his seven-year marriage to actress Demi Moore.
The actor's divorce petition cites irreconcilable differences and does not list a date that the couple separated. Moore announced last year that she was ending her marriage to the actor 15 years her junior, but she never filed a petition.
Kutcher's filing does not indicate that the couple has a prenuptial agreement. The filing states Kutcher signed the document Friday, hours before it was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Kutcher and Moore married in September 2005 and until recently kept their relationship very public, communicating with each other and fans on the social networking site Twitter. After their breakup, Moore changed her name on the site from (at)mrskutcher to (at)justdemi.
Kutcher currently stars on CBS' "Two and a Half Men."
Messages sent to Kutcher's and Moore's publicists were not immediately returned Friday.
Moore, 50, and Kutcher, 34, created the DNA Foundation, also known as the Demi and Ashton Foundation, in 2010 to combat the organized sexual exploitation of girls around the globe. They later lent their support to the United Nations' efforts to fight human trafficking, a scourge the international organization estimates affects about 2.5 million people worldwide.
Moore was previously married to actor Bruce Willis for 13 years. They had three daughters together – Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle – before divorcing in 2000. Willis later married model-actress Emma Heming in an intimate 2009 ceremony at his home in Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands that attended by their children, as well as Moore and Kutcher.
Kutcher has been dating former "That `70s Show" co-star Mila Kunis.

Sometimes it's okay to be green on the job. Research shows that greener offices yield happier employees. A 2008 study in the journal HortScience, published by The American Society for Horticultural Science, found that people who have an office view of nature, or a workspace with live plants, report greater job and life satisfaction than workers without plants or windows. Spruce up your workstation with a few plants or bouquets. Or, head to a nearby park for a short break. Spending 20 minutes in nature can help boost your mood and energy levels. If none of those are options, decorating your space with photographs of nature can help you recover from stress.

text: 20 January 2012 Critically Endangered Condors a Sight to Behold Posted by: Jamie Rappaport Clark | 1 comment | Share: On a chilly bright blue sky day on top of the Vermillion Cliffs in northern Arizona, I finally got to see first-hand the results of a project I worked on while at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the late 1990s. I stood on the edge of the cliffs with colleagues from Defenders and conservation partners from AZ Fish and Game and The Peregrine Fund watching critically endangered California condors soaring in the wind updrafts and sitting on boulders sunning themselves in the crisp morning's sun. They are certainly spectacular birds. Until you actually see one of these massive creatures on the wing, it's hard to truly visualize just how incredible these birds are and how precarious their future still is. They are almost magical to watch as they ride the thermals against the strikingly severe cliff sides near the Grand Canyon. Though there have been some birds now born in the wild since the original releases from captivity over a decade ago, most still wear the obvious brand of human help in the form of tags and transmitters to track their movements in northern Arizona and southern Utah. It is only with significant human support that we are making headway in returning these incredible flying creatures back to their rightful place in the wild. All of the birds now in the wild still require supplemental feeding and are monitored regularly to manage the leading ongoing cause of their deaths today; the ingestion of lead from carcasses and gut piles of animals hunted throughout their range. As carrion eaters (consumers of dead animals), the lead often left behind by hunters in carcasses or gut piles is ingested during feeding and accumulates quickly to deadly levels in the birds. If we are seeing it at such high levels on an ongoing basis in condors, just imagine all the other wildlife that feed in a similar fashion. It is abundantly clear that lead and wildlife are not a good mix for long term survival and sustainability. AZ Game and Fish and The Peregrine Fund have been working diligently through voluntary ammunition swap programs (free exchanging of lead bullets for copper or steel). In addition, they have an around the clock program of supplemental feeding and monitoring of the birds' lead levels with intervention by trapping and treatment to remove lead from the systems of those birds most affected. Regardless, the condor population overall is still in real trouble. Though there has been a positive response from hunters with the ammunition swap out program in Arizona, there is no such opportunity in Utah and that makes recovery of the condor all the more complicated and frustrating. The birds range from their "home base" at the Vermillion Cliffs but are now flying further and further away into Utah where there are no controls or incentives to use other than lead shot while hunting. Until the lead is out of ammunition used to hunt wildlife, it will continue to be a labor intensive uphill battle to save the condors. It's time for ammunition manufacturers to step up and do what was done for waterfowl decades ago. Conversion away from lead should not affect hunter success, but it will do a world of good for condors and other critters. The science is clear, now we need to encourage manufacturers and hunters to step up. One Response to "Critically Endangered Condors a Sight to Behold" Shea January 20th, 2012 How is this legal? The use of lead has been banned in countless products, and here we have a direct link between the death of endangered species and the use of lead in ammunition. Surely there are other metals (like the kind used to hunt water fowl) that hunters can use to murder animals just as effectively? A real shame. Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

Flatbush ZOMBiES - When in Roam
Artist: Flatbush ZOMBiES
Producer: Erick Arc Elliot
Album: Better Off DEAD
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
Fresh off earning respectable, if not exceptional reader reviews for promo single and debut solo feature MRAZ, flesh-eating NYC duo Flatbush Zombies are back with a freshly-released cut off their sophomore street album. In contrast to its predecessor's braggadocious theme, When in Roam has a more understated, introspective vibe. Over Erick Arc Elliot's melancholy, quavering piano loop, Dead Meechy Darko spits bars about his bad habits and his history of depression before handing the mic to his partner-in-rhyme for a brooding, politically-charged closing 16. This low-key banger is just one of many quality joints slated for inclusion on forthcoming mixtape Better off DEAD. Keep it locked for all the latest on the currently-unscheduled project.

Hi guys and gals,
I've been trying to identify this font through a number of different places but with no luck. Anyone here have any educated guesses?
If you lowered the crossbar of the 'E' and changed the 'N', this could be a modified Gill Sans.
- Lex
It's sort of pseudo-Arts & Crafts style, but the low E crossbar seems wrong. I think Lex is right that this is a customized font, maybe a freebie at some site.

I noticed the similarities to Gill Sans as well, so thought it was customised, but this is from an English Students' Union, not an organisation that would have put that much thought into it (they don't even have a vector version of it, only JPEGs) ... so I'm going to go with a freebie font at a site they found.
I think I'll have to re-create it from Gill.
Thanks guys.
