This paper discusses odor source localization (OSL) using a mobile robot in an outdoor time-variant airflow environment. A novel OSL algorithm based on particle filters (PF) is proposed. When the odor plume clue is found, the robot performs an exploratory behavior, such as a plume-tracing strategy, to collect more information about the previously unknown odor source. In parallel, the information collected by the robot is exploited by the PF-based OSL algorithm to estimate the location of the odor source in real time. The process of the OSL is terminated if the estimated source locations converge within a given small area. The Bayesian-inference-based method is also performed for comparison. Experimental results indicate that the proposed PF-based OSL algorithm performs better than the Bayesian-inference-based OSL method.

GREAT NEWS! - Queens Park Academy to be a primary school - YN to Y6.
A welcome from the Headteacher:
Thank you very much for visiting our Website. We hope you will find it interesting and exciting.
Queens Park Academy is a primary school located in the centre of the Queens Park area of Bedford. We admit children into our Nursery the term after their third birthday and the children may stay with us until they are 11 (Year 6) after which they transfer to secondary education for Year 7. In the academic year 2014-2015 we have children in Years N to 4, in 2015-2016 we will have Year 5 and then in 2016-2017 we will have Year 6. During these interim years we can only admit those relevant year groups, but from 2017 we will be an established primary school admitting all children within the primary range.
We also have a 'community nursery' providing day care and nursery education from children aged 0 to 5 on site - please see further details on the nursery tab.
We are particularly pleased to welcome parents and carers who might be considering us for their child. There is a huge amount of information for Parents within the tab named 'Our School'. Here you can also explore information about our 'Outstanding' Curriculum including our focus on 'International' and 'Outdoor Learning'.
Queens Park Academy is a National Support School – this means that we have expertise to share with other schools and are always pleased to support if we can. We are committed to the training and development of teachers and teaching staff. We are a strategic partner of the Peter Pan Teaching School Alliance.
Please explore our website and we hope the information on these pages inspires you to contact us. Everyone is most welcome to visit the school. Please make an appointment through the school's office – we look forward to meeting you.

Even the ringtones and alarms are not transmitted through the speakers. It appears that the sound profile is not working at all. Strangely every other thing os working fine - data, messaging, apps, etc.One more information. When the issue surfaced initially - when calls were received the phone hanged and restarted. Then it gave a message that phone recovered from abnormal reset and asked for sending error report to HTC, which I did.This happened 3-4 times.I called the HTC support in India. They said since its a international phone they dont have software/ hardware support. They advised me to reset the phone which I did, but the issue still remains. I even deleted all phone storage.Pls help as I am stuck.Regards

Cant hear incoming calls
Saturday 17th of May 2014
This problem just started a couple days ago, for some reason when I receive incoming calls I cant hear the other person but they can hear me. When I call out everything works fine. I checked to see if the mic was on mute but it wasnt. I also did a factory restore and I still have the same issue. Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve it? Thank You

The Ambassador Caffery south extension has turned into a land rush,
amplifying suspicions and further straining stressed relations among mayors.
The gavel comes down hard on the podium — bang! bang! "Mayor, you're out of order," snips Youngsville's Wilson Viator to his counterpart from neighboring Broussard. "We're here to talk about Ambassador Caffery road. Stick to the subject!"
Mayor Charles Langlinais has walked into a hornet's nest — squeezed is a better word. The Youngsville City Council chamber is standing-room-only for this special meeting devoted to annexing a mile-long strip of the newly opened Ambassador Caffery Parkway south extension, a stretch that by Youngsville's standards is golden. It's a single-item agenda tonight.
There are a tension and urgency in the room that overwhelm the perfume and the aftershave, a sense that if Youngsville doesn't get this done today, before the sun drops into the sugar cane fields, the city of Broussard will. Mayor Viator is agitated, impatient and suspicious of Langlinais.
It's Wednesday, April 28, and Youngsville, a bedroom community if ever there were one, flush with subdivisions and hungry for a commercial sales tax base to sustain them, is standing up to big, bad Charlie and grabbing its piece of the pie. And Charlie Langlinais, calm as a summer morning, his white mane matted by a ball cap, stands among them with a smile that borders on a smirk. It's either moxie or gall, or a combination of both.
"The point is," Langlinais says, unfazed by Viator's gavel, "there are opportunities for everyone."
Twenty-four hours earlier, the Broussard City Council tabled an ordinance seeking to annex a portion of the same strip Youngsville is after. Broussard hadn't gotten its petitions certified. Youngsville had. So Langlinais, with a coterie of Broussard officials standing sheepishly behind him, has come to Youngsville tonight to cut a deal. He wants to run water and sewer along the strip Youngsville plans to annex — from just west of La. 89 to just west of Bonin Road — to reach the Romero property, which would allow Broussard to annex an additional mile on the south side of Ambassador nearly to La Neuvelle Road. And Langlinais says he'll let Youngsville use those lines for the businesses that open in their annexation, saving them millions.
"That's about good neighbors working together in annexing property," Langlinais intones.

Remember that expression, "good neighbors."
For 20 years Youngsville has idled commercially as Broussard has bustled, presided over by the affable, cocksure Langlinais, a former landman now in his fifth term who parlayed a knack for divining the promise in property into a political career that by any small-town measure has been very big indeed.
But Youngsville hears the hooves of a Trojan horse in Langlinais' magnanimity, and Viator refuses to open the gate.
Bang goes the gavel. "You're out of order again," Viator admonishes Langlinais. "Stick to the annexation of property. We're talking about 60 acres here. You're more than welcome to make a proposal. But I don't see where you'll get anywhere negotiating at an open meeting."
This is a part of the world where elected officials get their names, towns and titles embroidered onto their shirts, the country margins of our otherwise urban parish.
Langlinais draws on the vernacular when he urges the Youngsville folk not to "poison the well."
Moments later, the Youngsville council votes to annex the land and, by most readings of state annexation law, block Broussard's westward expansion along Ambassador. After the meeting, Langlinais tells a television reporter, "They poisoned the well."
|Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais stepped into hostile territory a week ago when he went to the Youngsville City Council meeting in an attempt to cut a deal.
Charlie Langlinais calls them "the brothers-in-law." It's known, though not widely, that Youngsville Mayor Wilson Viator is married to Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel's sister. They are brothers-in-law by letter of the law, and they preside over the other two cities in south Lafayette Parish that have been vying with Broussard to drive a stake into the unincorporated land lining the Ambassador extension between La. 89 (commonly called the Youngsville Highway) and Verot School Road. In five, 10, 20 years, those three miles of Ambassador will look much like most of Ambassador in the city of Lafayette — awash in commercial development and flowing with sales tax revenue.
For Langlinais, it's Durel and Viator against Charlie Langlinais.
"There's absolutely no doubt. All you have to do is pull out Joey's so-called colored map," Langlinais says, referring to a map the Durel administration created envisioning the entire parish annexed by all of the municipalities, leaving none of the parish unincorporated. If adopted by the six cities, there would be no more open land to squabble over. But Langlinais, who has built a reputation for aggressive if not savvy annexations during 20 years in office, believes the map favors Youngsville and Lafayette.
"Since all this has come forward, I've gotten more petition drives that are being initiated by [residents living near] Broussard who realize, hey, if we don't do something and incorporate [with Broussard], we're going to be pushed into the city of Lafayette. They don't want that."
But according to sources inside LCG, the city of Lafayette has also been approached by residents in subdivisions in the no man's land between Broussard, Lafayette and Youngsville seeking annexation. Frank Thibeaux, annexation coordinator for LCG's Planning, Zoning & Codes Department, told The Independent last week that Lafayette is working on several more annexations in that area.
Through Langlinais' prism, there's a willful effort by Lafayette and Youngsville, working in concert, to block Broussard from filling any unincorporated areas between the three cities. It's an accusation both Viator and Durel deny.
"I think it's hilarious — it's funny," says Durel. "If anything it might show it's worth having a good relationship to get things done rather than a bad relationship."
"Joey Durel didn't have anything to do with what I annexed," adds Viator. "All I can say is that I worked hard at what I did to get Ambassador Caffery, and I did it without Lafayette knowing and without [Broussard] knowing what I was doing."
The suspicion in Lafayette and Youngsville has been that Langlinais wants to extend his town limits all the way along Ambassador to Verot School Road, which would have been possible had Youngsville not blocked Broussard from moving westward. But Langlinais denies it. "I have no desire to go to Verot, you can quote me on that," he says. "And, in fact, the furthest point I want to go is where our current quote-unquote line is." That would be to just east of La Neuville Road, according to the proposed annexation Broussard submitted a couple of weeks ago to the Lafayette Parish Assessor's office.
Durel has cited a "gentleman's agreement" among the three mayors stipulating that once the Ambassador extension was open, each would get a share. "I always thought," he says, "that a portion was rightfully in Broussard, a portion was rightfully in Lafayette and a portion was rightfully in Youngsville."
Both Durel and Viator point out that Broussard, which has the smallest population of the three, already has half of the Ambassador extension, and as far as many are concerned, that's plenty, especially on the south side of Ambassador between the Youngsville Highway and Verot. "I think that property should either be Youngsville or Lafayette," Viator asserts.
Langlinais is quick to note, and he does it often, that the city of Broussard put up $10 million dollars toward the project to get Ambassador all the way to U.S. Highway 90. That's a common theme among all three cities — that they've made investments in that area of the parish and, by rights, deserve to reap the returns.
And it's true: Broussard threw in millions to enable the state to run Ambassador to U.S. 90. But the project never would have happened had Lafayette not agreed to take over maintenance of Kaliste Saloom Road, previously a state highway, and to sacrifice in the near term the widening of Verot School Road. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has a statutory limit on how many miles of roadway it can maintain. Lafayette assumed a huge financial burden in taking on Kaliste Saloom; the Ambassador extension would have been impossible without that. And Youngsville has poured millions into Chemin Metairie as well as improvements on Bonin Road, both of which will soon be major intersections with Ambassador.
There's just an unavoidable sense among many — elected and otherwise — that Broussard has done enough annexing, and Langlinais' gesticulations about the sacrifices Broussard has made are getting tiresome if not comical to his counterparts in Lafayette and Youngsville. "The other night I had to sit in my council meeting and listen to him brag about how much money he put up, and I almost wore out my teeth keeping my mouth shut," Viator says with a laugh.
It's also worth noting that a few years ago when state Sen. Mike Michot approached the mayors in Lafayette Parish and asked them how they wanted to divvy up more than $20 million in surplus state transportation funding, the mayors agreed that because of the heavy traffic and the need for an improved hurricane evacuation route on U.S. Highway 90, Broussard should get virtually all of the money. That funding will be used to widen 90 to six lanes.
"When you look at Broussard," says Viator, "they have 6.6 miles [3.3 miles on each side] on Ambassador Caffery, they have 15 miles [7.5 miles on each side] on Highway 90; they have more prime property on Highway 90 than the city of Lafayette has.
And, hey, I'm glad for him; they've done an excellent job. But don't try to cut me down for what I'm doing. It's time.
Youngsville is way overdue to get something on a major thoroughfare, and that's why we're going to continue to pursue the idea of annexing property."
It's clear in speaking with Viator that U.S. 90 is a sore point. "Nobody was crying on anybody's shoulder when [Broussard] annexed all the way to Le Triomphe and blocked us from Highway 90," the mayor steams. So to most unbiased observers who know the background on this feud in south Lafayette Parish, Langlinais included, last Wednesday's special meeting in Youngsville was as much about political payback as it was about obtaining a valuable commercial corridor.
Langlinais brushes off the treatment he received at the Youngsville meeting. "When you have people do that, I learned a long time ago, you got to turn your cheek three times," he says. "The bottom line, I've been in office 20 years, I've had a lot worse thrown at me. And in the end I've always gone back to try to work with people. Tempers flare, and I fully expected what happened."
Eventually there will be nothing left to annex in this part of the parish — truce through incorporation. And for the foreseeable future, after Youngsville blocked Broussard from moving west on Ambassador, a cease fire may set in. Viator and Langlinais have also agreed to sit down and talk.
Lafayette City-Parish Council Chairman Jay Castille, who serves as chair of Council of Governments comprising the mayors of the parish's six municipalities, called a meeting in April but, according to Castille, Durel and Langlinais didn't show up.
Castille's district in north Lafayette Parish is far removed from the Ambassador turf war, but he believes that settling once and for all the annexation issues in the parish will be for the good of everyone.
"We don't want to tell each city how to annex," Castille told The Independent last week, "but we just want to be able to find a better way to grow with each of the little cities and Lafayette and not have these controversies pop up. I'm just trying to get them all to the table so we can start talking about it and stop the bickering and all the stuff that's going on. I'm also going to work on some type of goal for all six cities to work toward to try to help each other instead of fighting each other. [I'm] trying to mend some old wounds, some old fences."
For many in Youngsville, Broussard's growth has been wildly excessive and, worse, calculated to hem them in. Broussard's rapid annexation along Highway 90 blocked Youngsville from cashing in on what has become a lucrative commercial and industrial corridor.
Langlinais is unapologetic about his two decades at city hall. "When I took office in 1990, there was one house built during that first year," he recalls with pride. "Everything else was sugar cane. Highway 90 was completely unbuilt. There was nothing along Highway 90. We grew the city from raw, undeveloped property. We put services in, we put utilities in. We essentially developed an industrial corridor along the Highway 90 backbone."
That development has lured in a Walmart, a Home Depot, a multi-plex movie theater, oil service companies and dozens of other businesses that have grown Broussard's annual budget from about $600,000 in 1990 to $14 million today.
The old wounds Castille referred to are evident in Viator's gavel, and in the manner in which all three municipalities occupying south Lafayette Parish have gone about seeking annexations in the area. In just the last three weeks Broussard has used a surrogate to purchase land off Ambassador to block Lafayette from annexing Les Vieux Chenes Golf Course and Fabacher Field — city-owned and -operated facilities. Countering the subterfuge, Lafayette officials, in accordance with state meeting notification laws, published notice of a special Monday morning meeting of the City-Parish Council in The Sunday Advertiser after Viator brokered a secret deal to help Lafayette annex another strip of property to reach the golf course. Cloak and dagger, Cajun-style.
The opening of the Ambassador extension seems to have brought out the worst in everyone, or at least amplified the suspicions among the municipalities. Langlinais, meanwhile, scoffs at suggestions that his aims for Ambassador are excessive, and besides, he says, the area west of the Youngsville Highway won't generate a king's ransom in sales taxes. "There's only acreage to do strip malls," he insists. "I got two or three strip malls built during the Go Zone era two or three years ago. One of them's completely vacant."
While Youngsville's sales tax base has grown four-fold during Viator's tenure — Rouses, McDonald's, CVS, four community banks and other businesses have opened there in recent years — the city is still hard-pressed to provide services to its sprawling residential component. So, Viator will take any new businesses he can get. "The thing is," he says, "I don't mind strip malls, and I don't mind mom-and-pop operations, because that's what built America, and that's what'll build Youngsville."
The events of the past few weeks have only served to amplify skepticism about Langlinais' motives.
"There was never any talk of us working together until [Broussard] couldn't get 100 percent of what they wanted," Durel says of Langlinais' olive branch at the Youngsville council meeting. "All this talk about good neighbor stuff? What am I missing here?"
For now, Charlie Langlinais appears to be checked in his empire building westward along Ambassador.
And for Wilson Viator, who wants more but who will undoubtedly acquire it in rhythm with Lafayette, it's a relief. "I can tell you this," he says. "When I annex any more of it, it's going to be done up front. I don't have any reason to hide because I don't have to worry about anyone coming and cutting my throat."

UNM-LA has a huge positive impact on local education, starting with many of our high school students; our 16-year-old has been learning robotics there. Local entrepreneur William Sellers has argued that Los Alamos does not need "our own little private university." But let's look in detail at what UNM-LA actually does (losalamos.unm.edu, or ourcommunityourcollege.com).
It doesn't pretend to be a self-contained university. It offers classes to: young people, to help them get their education started conveniently and at low cost; people in mid-life, who want to add skills or get help starting their own business; or people of any age who just enjoy learning. Many staff members at LANL appreciate the opportunity UNM-LA offers to share their skills with the community. Mr. Sellers has proposed that we should convert the campus into an advanced manufacturing training facility.
Such a facility would be a good way to grow a more diversified, high-tech economy. I submit that we are much more likely to get things like an advanced manufacturing training facility going here, if we build upon existing programs, such as robotics, in a healthily funded UNM-LA.
I will be happy to work with UNM-LA, LANL, and entrepreneurs like Mr. Sellers to get forward-thinking projects like these going in our town.
In commenting on large class sizes, a Los Alamos School Board member said: "This (school) district, financially, is headed toward an iceberg like the Titanic." The issue is much broader than class size.
Because of the way New Mexico funds K-12 education, our schools won't have the resources moving forward to support the educational quality we have come to expect. Funding for the operation of New Mexico schools is collected into a central pool, and distributed back to the school districts according to a complex "equalization" formula.
The state requires and funds a "sufficient" educational program, but many of us would like to build and sustain superb schools. Unfortunately, New Mexico takes the punitive position that individual districts are prohibited from spending more on education than the formula provides. This approach says: if everyone can't have it, you can't have it.

I moved to Los Alamos in 1969. At that time there was no institution of higher learning present in the community. The community was negotiating with University of New Mexico to establish a branch. They wanted a way to enhance the learning opportunities for those in the community. In 1970, UNM established a branch and it became known as UNM-LA.
I was the first biology teacher hired at the new branch. For the first seven years I taught general biology, plant taxonomy, human anatomy and physiology and ecology. Then later I taught community education classes. In the early years, we were housed in what is now L-Wing of Los Alamos High School (presently home of the Pajarito Environmental Education Center). There were a handful of us teaching the basic college courses. It was both an exciting and challenging time. Resources were limited. I had to conduct my labs in the high school with the wonderful cooperation of the high school teachers.
Every person who lives in Los Alamos who has benefitted from education in any way should vote 'yes' on the UNM-LA mil levy.
This school is one of the not-so-hidden treasures of our community. It does an incredible job of providing a wide variety of higher education opportunities to high school and college students, as well as community members who are seeking professional development and personal enrichment.
Dual credit courses (taken by 1,399 high school students to date, 794 from LAHS), innovative programs in fire science, EMS certification, robotics and many other classes taught by a highly qualified and capable faculty are just a sampling of what UNM-LA has to offer.
Interestingly enough, the college accomplishes much of this on a shoestring budget. Many people are unaware that UNM-LA receives no funding from the UNM main campus.
Furthermore, its state funding is dwindling, reduced by 38 percent in the last five years while enrollment has increased by 14 percent.
In addition, the presence of a college contributes to higher property values in a community.
The reasonable mill levy is a small price to pay for this economic benefit.
uality and hallmark that Los Alamos has long valued. Community conversations and strategic plan surveys continually reinforce the importance of maintaining small class sizes.
Over the past several years, budget constraints have made it increasingly more difficult to honor our community's desire for small class size.
Significant reductions in state funding this past spring created a $2 million shortfall in our school budget, which had a direct bearing on the decision to increase class size.
School administration and the school board recognize small class size is important to our community. Efforts were made to preserve this value by reducing and/or eliminating budget items to preserve small class sizes.
Despite these efforts, reductions in teaching staff were still necessary to bring the budget into balance. Reductions of seven elementary teaching positions through attrition were made during the budget building process this past spring.
The reduction in staffing resulted in larger class sizes in the second grade at Aspen, Mountain and Barranca Elementary Schools. Second grade class sizes at these schools range from a low of 24 at Aspen and Barranca to a high of 27 at Mountain.
On the night of Aug. 11, I was lying on the roof of my home in Barranca Mesa watching the sky for signs of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
At about 11:05 p.m., a yellow fireball, the largest of the night up to that time, came roaring in directly overhead from NE to SW, leaving behind a large golden tail. And I mean literally roaring. For the first time in over 55 years of watching the night sky I actually heard a load, deep, ripping sound. I heard the roar within a fraction of a second of observing the light.
Based on the extremely short lag time between seeing the light and hearing the sound, I could only conclude that the meteor was no more than than 1/4 mile away.
Did anyone else report seeing and hearing a meteor in Los Alamos that night?

Our national security could be in jeopardy if the $500 billion in sequestration defense cuts are implemented. Our military had to absorb $80 billion in prior cuts and is now cutting $487 billion over 10 years to comply with the Budget Control Act.
The $487 billion in cuts translates into the Army reducing its forces by 80,000 soldiers over the next five years.
The Marines will cut 20,000 troops.
Other cuts include early retirement of ships with the possibility of having 11 carrier battle groups instead of the 12 needed; the retirement of the Air Force A-10 Warthog aircraft; and the possible closure of our only tank production facility in Lima, Ohio.
These cuts are occurring while leaving the Pentagon's civilian workforce of 750,000 unscathed. DOD added 62,000 civilians during the past four years.
If the additional $500 billion in sequestration cuts are implemented, over 1 million civilian full-time jobs with contractors, sub-contractors and ancillary businesses will be lost.
The Obama Administration and Congress have to find other ways to reduce the deficit without adversely impacting our national defense.

In his column on for-profit/charter/online education in Wednesday's Los Alamos Monitor, Paul Gessing states: " Non-profits, by contrast, have little incentive to become 'early adopters' of cost-saving tools and techniques, such as online instruction." This is arrant nonsense.
I dare him to present a single non-profit that prefers to waste contributions rather than maximize the effective use of their funding for their specific goals. It is true that they rarely can put aside funds for investment in what may ultimately enhance productivity -- but Gessing should distinguish between lack of incentive and limited capability.
Why can't he celebrate New Mexico being "in the Middle of the pack" in embracing digital education? For a change, we are not 49th or 50th in the Nation! Perhaps we could do even better if the Rio Grande Foundation were to provide grants rather than knocks and assist local non-profits supporting the same goals.
Terry Goldman

It is impossible to address all the points raised in Paul Gessing's op-ed on "Digital Education" in a space-limited letter, but a couple of his statements are so egregious that they shouldn't be allowed to stand unopposed.
First, is his statement "For-profits have a relentless, selfish imperative to seek out and adopt cost efficiencies." This is probably true, but their fundamental goal is to make profits for their shareholders, not necessarily to improve student experience. Cost efficiencies, which increase profits, may have nothing to do with better education or student success, and in fact, may make things worse for students, depending on what is counted as a "cost efficiency".
Second, is the statement "Nonprofits, by contrast, have little incentive to become early adopters of cost-saving tools and techniques …". What evidence does Gessing have to support this statement? Non-profit businesses feel the same stresses as for-profits in terms of meeting government mandates and their payroll. Failure means they will likely fold their doors, so striving for cost efficiencies in a non-profit is just as important as it is for a for-profit.

DescriptionSimulation games are created with the goal of putting the player in control of a certain activity while attempting to make it as realistic as possible.
In the strictest sense of the word, all electronic games are simulations, since they cannot exist without simulating aspects of real life. However, simulation genre only includes games that focus (entirely or mostly) on imitating real-life activities. That does not mean that simulation games must be completely realistic; for example, space combat simulation games simulate an activity that is (yet) unknown to human beings. The distinguishing feature of simulation games is their emphasis on realism and detail comparable to those encountered in real life.
Most simulation games are not story-driven, since they concentrate on describing general activities, not concrete situations. Among notable exceptions are Wing Commander games, which combine space combat simulation with a continuous narrative.
Simulation themes vary greatly; theoretically, they are limited only by the amount of activities known to human beings. Simulation themes include, for example, traffic networks, medical care, romance, music, and many others.
Simulation games can be roughly divided into five main groups:
- Managerial simulations put the player in a position of a manager or a similar role.
- Construction simulations primarily involve building, for example cities.
- Life simulations may deal with human life or life in general.
- Professional / Social simulations are dedicated to specific social activities and professions.
- Vehicle simulations allow the player direct control of a vehicle with a certain sense of realism, for example plane, space ship, tank, etc.

Microsoft reveals new music, cross-platform services for Xbox at E3 event
Xbox E3 conference

Microsoft wants its Xbox video game console to be much more than a way to play the newest Halo or Call of Duty game.
At the E3 media briefing on Monday, Microsoft revealed a music service for the Xbox that allows customers to stream music and music videos, connect to hundreds of radio stations and create "personalized" radio stations on the new Last.fm service.
Up until now, Microsoft has been cagey about a music service that would compete with Apple's iTunes, despite the fact that the company has been advertising for programmer jobs around the world to help build a music distribution service.
Monday during the E3 briefing, Microsoft called the foray into streaming music the "music service we've always dreamed of building."
Microsoft is hanging onto the Zune brand by turning it into the company's music service that will work on any Microsoft product, from the Xbox to Windows Phone to a home PC. The company stopped producing Zune music players last year.
Don Mattrick, president of interactive entertainment for Microsoft, said during the E3 presentation that the company was "going to take Xbox to phones, PCs and tablets" later this year. The program is called "Smart Glass," and it connects Windows 8 and Windows Phone devices to the gaming consoles. Customers can extend game play onto their devices or view special extras available only on those devices.
As part of the Smart Glass launch later this year, the newest Internet Explorer browser will work on the Xbox platform. Players will be able to surf the internet and watch 1080p high-definition streaming video online using an Xbox.

That day, the production at Porsche stood still. It was March 16th 1956 – an historic moment. Everyone's attention was focussed on a blue Porsche 356 Coupé, decorated with a carnation garland, its front radiator trim adorned with daffodils. It was the ten-thousandth Porsche vehicle built, as could be seen by the large number painted onto the bonnet. This event was cause for a small celebration, the guests to which included such illustrous personalities as Ferdinand Porsche's widow, Ferry Porsche with his wife and his son Wolfgang, the Ministry of Economics' Deputy Asistant Under-Secretary Dr Seifritz, Louise Piëch, Stuttgart's Lord Mayor Dr Klett and representatives of other German car manufacturers, among them Volkswagen boss Dr Nordhoff and Professor Nallinger of Daimler-Benz.
In fact, the day saw the celebration of a further anniversary – 25 years of Porsche in Stuttgart. Although Ferdinand Porsche had already established an engineering firm in Stuttgart's Kronenstrasse in December 1930, the company was not entered into the commercial registry until spring 1931.
Hans Kern, nicknamed the "Porsche Minister of Finance", was able to present a positive company result during the celebration. The company had begun in 1931 with 13 employees. By 1955 Porsche was already employing 232 clerks and 384 workers. In 1955, around 3,000 Porsche 356 rolled off the line of which 77 percent were destined to be exported.

On birth Certificates your name is in all Caps and is the first such document that does classify you as a corporation. Not sure it matters whether other documentation has it in caps since the Earliest document is usually the binding one.
All in all, this is just on paper. It's all an illusion. And once you know that it really doesn't matter. It's just how they get you into The Matrix.
If any of this declaration stuff is legit it's gonna be like a Legal Red Pill.
