School Notes:
- Explorations Academy (EA) is our area's only fully-accredited independent high school and provides an experiential curriculum that ignites a passion for learning and inspires creativity, curiosity, and desire to learn in young people who are highly capable yet under-performing in traditional high school settings. It is our priority to encourage bright and capable, yet bored youth to excel academically and create opportunities for life-long success. We expose students to real life experiences to ensure that our students are well prepared to be tomorrow's innovators, leaders, and engaged citizens.
- Committed to intercultural education, we have hosted international students for one or more academic years. Our school attracts students from southern British Columbia and we are close to a bus line that connects us easily to transportation from neighboring counties. Students also have traveled on international study/service expeditions to places as diverse as Peru, India, Thailand, Cuba, Kenya, Guatemala, and Indonesia.
- Our academic program is college-preparatory, interdisciplinary, and challenging. We offer an experiential approach draws students into the real world through field studies, guest speakers, and service opportunities that complement classroom learning. The curriculum is relevant to current events with small class sizes and integrated subject matter. Evaluation methods emphasize individualized performance assessments, self-reflection and demonstration of skills and knowledge and are not focused on standardized testing.

Once again, in the run up to Christmas, the Human Rights group is coordinating a collection for the West End Refugee project. If you have any clean, blankets, clothes, hats and gloves and this year, any toiletries, please ask your son or daughter to place them in the boxes in the foyer at the front of school or take to their tutor room. The group took a van full of clothes to the project from QE last year and they were gratefully received by people who were in desperate need. The collection will run until the beginning of the last week of term.

Information for the January exams are now available. You can find these in the exams section under the student and curriculum menus of the website. The exams are also available as events in the online calendar.
Au revoir to our French friends
The French Exchange group from our partner school, Lycée Flaubert, in Rouen have spent a highly enjoyable and educational week in Hexham. 40 students, accompanied by Élodie Faber, Stéphanie Lemonnier-Paquet and Rachel Testelin arrived on Saturday 8th November and have spent the week with GCSE and AS level French students at QEHS.
During their stay, the French group visited Newcastle, Beamish Museum and the Metrocenter. We also organised a fun and interesting joint visit to York, with both English and French students visiting the York Castle Museum and the York Dungeon.
Another highlight of the week was the opportunity for our French guests to visit our school and experience lessons at QEHS.
Some of the group were able to try out rowing with QEHS Rowing Club. Despite chilly temperatures, lots of fun was had and hot chocolate was on hand afterwards.
We are now looking forward to taking our students to Rouen in March, with visits to Paris, Honfleur and Normandy on the programme.
The languages department would like to say a big "Merci" to everyone involved in the organisation of the trip and to those who made the French group feel so welcome; students, host families, teaching staff, volunteers and support staff.

Staff and students at Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham are celebrating after learning that they had been ranked as the 5th best state school in the North-East of England and in the top 300 in the entire country. The national rankings, complied by the Sunday Times and published in the Journal on 22 November 2014, uses the GCSE and A Level examination results from 2014 to compare schools.
Head of School, Andy Byers was delighted with the news and said, "we knew our exam results were good and that our students and staff work exceptionally hard, but it is lovely to be recognised in regional and national listings for the work we do in serving our local community."
Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Appeal
QEHS Students came together on the morning of Monday 10 November to pack almost 160 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
Students ranging from year nine all the way through to sixth form helped to pack a range of gifts, from toothbrushes and pencils to toy cars and dolls, into shoe boxes to be sent away for children who otherwise wouldn't receive anything for Christmas. A personalised Christmas card was included with the gifts.

The fight is on for heart of GOP in NH
Veteran political strategist Periklis Karoutas of Dover was manager of Jeb Bradley's campaign for Congress in 2006 and 2008, and is helping him in his state Senate reelection campaign this year. He also helped Boutin get elected, and this cycle is working on Jerry Little's state Senate primary against Marzullo.
So far the group has formally endorsed Marzullo and incumbent Republican Sen. Andy Sanborn of Bedford. Day said 18 more candidates would be endorsed in the weeks ahead.
Candidates have until June 13 to file with the Secretary of State, and more retirements may be forthcoming. It's not uncommon for incumbents to wait until the last minute to make their intentions known.
Meanwhile, only two non-incumbent Democrats have declared for state Senate so far. State Rep. Chris Muns of Hampton will face the winner of the Stiles v. Kenda Republican primary in District 24. Kenda is likely to be the next in line for a Liberty Caucus endorsement.

America's Old Tank Still Goes Strong
By SOF
Before the M1 Abrams, there was the M60 Patton. American troops found this tank to be a long-term standby during the Cold War – as well as during the Vietnam War and Desert Storm. The tank also found itself widely exported, and it is still seeing service in the Middle East.
Amphibious Assault Vessels of the Navy
By SOF
The Marines have long had a tradition of being America's "911 Force." However, there is one big question: How do you get the Marines there?
There are a number of answers to that question, but one of the major answers centers around the amphibious assault ships in service with the United States Navy. These vessels are probably some of the most deceptively powerful vessels in the world. When one looks at it, there are perhaps three aircraft carriers in the world more powerful than the Wasp-class amphibious assault ships.

It doesn't go bang, but it is arguably one of the more important items that the troops can have.

It is the M18 smoke grenade – and recently, the Army announced that Pine Bluff Arsenal's Directorate of Ammunition Operations produced its three millionth such grenade with no failures.

In this study we present a deterministic model based on a linear programming approach for optimizing the route assignment in a trajectory-based Air Traffic Management (ATM) environment. This study is essentially intended to reduce the airspace congestion through an appropriate route assignment. The latter one can be easily seen as a multi-period (dynamic) problem. Indeed, the time dimension is an essential ingredient to consider when constructing flight plans for a large number of flights and evaluating the number of potential en-route conflicts. This dynamic problem can be transformed into a static one by using standard technique of time-expanding the underlying network. We propose here a model to consider the airspace congestion in a finer way: we consider the number of aircraft involved in potential en-route conflicts rather than the number of aircraft in a sector, sometimes implicitly understood as en-route capacities in ATM. In other words, the routing computing which is the choice of the most appropriate routes with respect to congestion avoidance (in terms of the number of potential en-route conflicts) and economical considerations are our main concern.

"Don Brown's Treason, Navy Justice"
This first in series of Navy Justice novels is a great read. It is not to bogged down in details, moves along well, and maintains a tension that the reader will enjoy. Zack Brewer is captivating as a litigator who struggles with his faith as a Christian and his responsibilities as a Naval JAG Officer. The premise of the book is believable, and it is well written. However, the choice to use a British narrator is distracting. His British mispronounciations of U.S. terms and words in normal conversation and in the legal setting is distracting, almost laughable. The performance of foreign accents is excellent. One would wish that he would be able to mimic American English as well. When the narrator uses British pronounciations when portraying any Naval Officer, even the President of the U.S., it is awful. A Britisher trying to sound Southern is unbelievable! Change the narrator for future volumes and this could be one of the best!
Keep of the good work, Don Brown!
"Insecure Scarpetta unsettleing"
I am a great fan of the Scarpetta series, but this one left me wondering about the future of one of my favorite characters. The plot here was great, but the character development that has Scarpetta paranoid toward motives of those closest to her, and depressed about her life is very unlike the courageous and confident woman we have become so familiar with. She is portrayed as exhausted and suspicious of everyone. The end relaxed a bit as things came together, but still leaves questions about how Dr. Scarpetta will survive in the future. I hope the next chapeter is one of redemption. Let's get back to solving mysteries instead of getting mired in the lives of so many people at one time.
"Beautiful prose, great mystery"
I was only recently introduced to Dave Robecheaux in the Tin Roof Blowdown.
Burke's tortured detective struggles with his demons of the past while trying to find the decency in a world that seems to have gone mad with criminal activity of the worst kind. His writing style is so descriptive and graphic that you can smell the Lousiana swamp, hear the rain, and feel the humidity of the area near the City of New Orleans. The characters are rich, the mystery uncommon. Yet, Dave wades into the crimes to humanity with the tenacity of a bulldog, all the while questioning his motives, his anger and his own sense of what is the right thing to do - in spite of himself.
A great read, and it was good to go back some to learn of the Robecheaux character. I look forward to going through the series.
"Great Story, Narration lacks"
Classic murder mystery with unusual twists are really interesting. Jance's Joanna Brady is a great character and has great personality and admirable courage and determination. But the narrator of this piece sounds as though she has a cough drop in her mouth and disjointed oration (or bad recording editing). She swallows loudly and smacks her tounge irritatingly. Recording quality is amatuer. You can hear papers rustling, page turning and bits of editing that makes it sound like stuttering. I listen to a lot of recorded books and this recording is terrible.
Koonce is again a master of his craft. These new characters are just normal people caught up in an extraordinary circumstance, and the ride of their lives.
While Koonce's work is riveting, I think he is a bit wordy in places regarding the musings of the characters or the discriptions of surroundings. The abridged version may be more desireable if one does not care to endure these descriptions.
Good story.
"The Secret is no secret at all!"
This loser is just another New-Age rehash of old stuff that has been around for ages. The author's presuppositions are rediculous and one must really be desperate to try it. I think it is great to be a positive thinker, but for it to become some "secret power" to provide all your desires for money, power and romance is just too much. Don't waste your time!

Korean vendor launches wearable RPi clone
Korean outfit Hardkernel has snuck out a Raspberry Pi-compatible board it says targets developers with an interest in the wearables and Internet of Things space. Due to ship towards the end of August, the Odroid-W uses the same Broadcom SoC as the popular Raspberry Pi – Broadcom's BCM2835. It includes an RPi-compatible 15-pin …
Conspiracy theory much?
Getting a copy of the boot blob is trivially easy. Just download any OS from the RPi website, or copy it
from any SD card that will run a Pi. No need to think there is some sort of skullduggery going on.
Re: Conspiracy theory much?
That evil hacking tool called dd
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=my-stolen-boot-blob bs=1k skip=$START_BLOCK count=$NBLOCKS
What's great about it..
...is that there is finally some sort of standard for booting and running ARM systems. So now you can just boot whatever OS you want on any of those RPi clones. Sure it's not a great standard, but it sure beats UEFI.
Re: What's great about it..
Well, yes. if you use the same SoC as the RPi otherwise you maybe up the creek.
I think the best thing to say, is "The greatest form of flattery is imitation" pretty sure we have not arrived at the IBM PC clone market. Many of the "RPi like devices" have always been, the same but different, but this seems to be a clone. Though not that cheap, when compared to a RPi B+, as you need the docking board for the Odroid-W to get the USB and ethernet, but the eMMC is interesting, if you need it.
Guess we will have to see if Odroid-W puts £1,000,000 into an education fund and more than that into open source development, with the profits they make.
OK I am a staunch support of the Raspberry Pi and more so of the achievements and direction of the RPi Foundations :-)
Re: What's great about it..
"Guess we will have to see if Odroid-W puts £1,000,000 into an education fund and more than that into open source development, with the profits they make."
It would be nice to know how much mark up there is on each Raspberry Pi sold. How much goes to manufacturers, retailers, to Raspberry Pi Trading and how much of that actually reaches the charitable foundation.
It would also be nice to know exactly which open source development projects the foundation is supporting with their multi-million dollar income and how much it gives to those project.
Re: What's great about it..
"Though not that cheap, when compared to a RPi B+, as you need the docking board for the Odroid-W to get the USB and ethernet"
It appears the board itself does have USB but it's unpopulated. My guess is that the physical connector was too large for their envisioned purpose and left it so the user can install one if they feel so inclined. A nice consideration IMHO as I've seen too many Daytona Beach type boards where it's tiny and low profile with a coastline packed with highrises.
Is it coincidence that an article related to the Pi was posted at 03:14?
All politics aside, the battery backup and exposing extra GPIO pins (41 for example, allowing a second UART or second hardware PWM) along with the size is exciting, although I still think the new B Plus is far better value (and of course there's the new Pi, the "MC" in development... shush).
Ooooh... RTC...
Interesting they include an RTC with optional battery backup, something which is lacking from the Pi (which relies on retrieving the current time at startup via the intarweb).
Is the new Pi you mention the mythical "PI +2" with built in cassette player?
Any links for this "new Pi"?

Padres nearly done with roster construction
Few general managers have been as busy this offseason as Padres GM Josh Byrnes, who on Saturday pulled off his sixth trade of the winter when he traded for White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin.
With that trade, the Padres are already close to being a finished product — well before heading to Arizona for the start of Spring Training next month.
"We're getting close," Byrnes said on Tuesday.
The Padres could still add a late-inning reliever and have to decide if they're going to hang onto first base prospect Anthony Rizzo or move him before Spring Training.
In their deal with the Reds last month and pitcher Mat Latos, the Padres acquired first baseman Yonder Alonso, who will get first crack at winning the first base job.

Quentin dealt to Padres for two hurlers
The White Sox and Padres pulled off a trade Saturday afternoon that sends outfielder Carlos Quentin to San Diego in exchange for two Minor League pitchers.
The White Sox will receive 23-year-old right-hander Simon Castro and 22-year-old lefty Pedro Hernandez from the Padres.
Quentin, 29, is a two-time All-Star who has hit at least 21 homers in each of the last four seasons with Chicago. He was drafted by the D-backs in the first round of the 2003 First-Year Player Draft and spent two seasons with Arizona.
His first year with the White Sox, in 2008, was his best so far, as he hit .288 with 100 RBIs and 36 homers. He has played either left or right field his entire career.
"Improving our offense is a priority this offseason," Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said. "And the acquisition of Carlos gives us a proven middle-of-the-order bat. We specifically targeted Carlos because of his production and his hard-nosed style of play."
Castro, the Padres' Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2009, split time between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Tucson in 2011, posting a 7-8 record with a 5.63 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 22 starts overall. He began the season with San Antonio, where he was 5-6, before moving up to Tucson, where he was 2-2 with a 10.17 ERA.
He has been in the Padres' Minor League system for six seasons, and he was named to the Texas League mid- and postseason All-Star teams in 2010, while also pitching for the World Team in the All-Star Futures Game in Anaheim.
Hernandez spent time at Class A Lake Elsinore this season, along with Tucson and San Antonio, posting a 10-3 record with a 3.49 ERA in 28 games (18 starts) overall. He recorded 94 strikeouts in 116 innings of work.
The southpaw is 25-11 over five seasons in the San Diego Minor League system.

Cuddyer, Rox continue to talk
The Twitter universe says Michael Cuddyer will reach an agreement with the Rockies by the end of today. From what I've been told, the sides continue to negotiate but the end of today may not be feasible. Terms aren't known, but it could be lucrative: Cuddyer was reported to have a three-year deal for around $25 million from the Twins on the table. I'm reading the Mariners and Reds also have approached Cuddyer.
If or when it does happen, don't be surprised if left-handed hitting Seth Smith is dealt quickly. Such a deal would clear a crowded outfield, and it would be the best way for the Rockies to fill other holes, especially pitching. Whatever the Rockies cleared in trading pitcher Huston Street to the Padres and infielder Ian Stewart to the Cubs will be spent on Cuddyer, or another outfielder if the Rockies go in that direction (such as Carlos Beltran).
Smith ranks as the best hope for acquiring a pitcher capable of 200 innings to help the rotation along until Jorge De La Rosa completes his comeback from Tommy John left elbow surgery, which should be sometime around June. Lower-cost options such as Kevin Millwood, Jeff Francis or recently non-tendered Joe Saunders will come into play, also.
As for free-agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, the chances of such a signing are doubtful considering what the Rockies will spend on the outfielder.

Padres land Street, might not be done
The Padres nearly-singular focus during these Winter Meetings have been finding a closer to replace Heath Bell, who signed a three-year deal worth $27 million with the Marlins on Monday.
General manager Josh Byrnes believes he filled that role Wednesday after trading for former Rockies closer Huston Street, sending a Minor League player to be named later to Colorado in exchange for the 28-year-old Street and cash.
But just because the Padres have scratched the top item off their winter to-do list doesn't mean they're finished with business here in Dallas.
Byrnes indicated that something could be in the works later Wednesday or possibly Thursday, even as he heads back to San Diego and later Phoenix.
The Padres still needed something that resembles an eighth-inning specialist, though Byrnes said talks in that regards had made "adequate progress but not substantial [progress]."
Could the Padres be looking for a position player? An option for the bench? Stayed tuned, business continues after these Winter Meetings and the Padres still have work to do on the roster before Spring Training.

Padres set to acquire Street from Rockies
On Monday, the Padres official lost closer Heath Bell, as the three-time All-Star completed his deal with the Marlins.
It didn't take the Padres long to find a replacement.
On Wednesday morning, the Padres were putting the finishing touches on a deal with the Rockies for closer Huston Street.
The deal is believed to be for a player to be named with the Rockies picking up a good chunk of the $7.5 million he's owed for 2012.
Oddly enough, Bell made $7.5 million last season, though he was due for a raise after the Padres offered him arbitration. Instead, he received a three-year deal (with a fourth year vesting) for $27 million.
More later at Padres.com.

Padres GM: No three-year contracts
On Monday, Heath Bell's three-year deal for $27 million with the Marlins became official.
The Padres, in their search for not only his replacement but an eighth-inning specialist, pressed on with their offseason agenda, knowing they now have a little more financial wiggle room after Bell signed (remember, they had offered him arbitration and would have been on the hook for $9-10 million had he accepted).
But the Padres and general manager Josh Byrnes won't be frivolous with their extra loot, as Byrnes indicated that the team will not offer a free agent starting pitcher or reliever a deal with terms covering three years. In short, the Padres don't want to be tied to any long-term deals, deals that often look pretty ugly for the club as far as bang for buck at the end of the deal.
Could that mean the Padres will look for a closer through trade? The team engaged more teams than agents on Monday and talks on several fronts. Could Tuesday be the day Byrnes and his team find a closer? Stayed tuned.
– Corey Brock
Bell headed to Marlins … who closes for the Padres?
The Padres finally got the clarity to the Heath Bell situation that they needed/wanted late Thursday, when reports came out that Bell had agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal with the Marlins.
Bell had until Dec. 7 to accept or decline the Padres arbitration offer (or, of course, sign elsewhere). That he has done so (though not officially) before the Winter Meetings could help the Padres in their pursuit of …
You guessed it, a closer. Not just a closer to replace Bell, but the Padres would love to find an eighth-inning specialist to set-up their to-be-named closer.
Look for the Padres to acquire relief help instead of spending big in free agency. They don't want to — and with a projected payroll of around $53-55 million — get stuck with a long, hefty contract.
The Padres were linked to A's closer Andrew Bailey on Friday, though the A's want offense in return. The Padres don't have much to move, unless they part with third baseman Chase Headley and/or outfielder Kyle Blanks, who could be moved in the right deal.
Stayed tuned, things could get interesting.

Padres still waiting on Bell
New Padres general manager Josh Byrnes has made his first trade (catcher John Baker) and signed his first free agent (outfielder Mark Kotsay).
What will his next move be?
That likely depends a lot on whether closer Heath Bell accepts or declines the Padres arbitration offer. Here's an in-depth look at the particulars, but it comes down to this:
– If Bell accepts the Padres offer, the team won't have as much financial flexibility this winter.
– If Bell declines the offer and signs elsewhere, the team not only gets the two Draft picks it covets but also will have more financial wiggle room this winter.
For now, look for the Padres to sign a Minor League free agent starting pitcher (or two), look for help for the bullpen (even if Bell returns) and help for the bench in the days leading up to the start of the Winter Meetings in Dallas, Dec. 5-8.
– Corey Brock
Padres waiting on Bell decision
On Tuesday, news broke that the Padres were close to agreeing on a one-year deal for outfielder Mark Kotsay worth$1.25 million, a move they hope will help fortify the bench in 2012.
That move (when it becomes official, pending a physical) will be the first acquisition by new general manager Josh Byrnes.
When his next move will come is anyone's guess — especially since Byrnes and the Padres are waiting to hear from free agent closer Heath Bell on if he'll accept arbitration or decline it.
"Obviously, the Heath Bell situation will affect us a lot. If he doesn't accept [arbitration], we'll have more money," Byrnes said recently. "… Right now, things are moving a little slower until we know what happens with Heath."
The Padres plan to offer him arbitration, thinking he'll decline it and chase a bigger contract elsewhere. That way, the Padres will collect to supplemental round Draft picks.
However, Bell said he won't decide until the deadline to do so, 8:59 p.m. PT on Dec. 7. That could make it tough for the Padres — who will have a payroll of around $54 million — to acquire more prolific free agents until that decision is made.
– Corey Brock
Padres' Byrnes makes first move
New Padres general manager Josh Byrnes is rumored to be close to his first acquisition with San Diego, as the team has been linked to veteran outfielder Mark Kotsay.
A report on FoxSports.com said Kotsay has agreed to a one-year deal for $1.25 million, pending a physical. Neither Byrnes nor the Padres have confirmed that a deal is in place.
The Padres are, among other things, looking to add to their bench to give manager Bud Black more options. Also, the team ranked last in baseball with its .229 average against right-handed pitching. The left-handed hitting Kotsay will give them a bat off the bench and someone who can play all three outfield positions and some first base.

What a black mark on the otherwise strong Dreamworks shorts. Donkey's Caroling Christmas-tacular can be summarized in one word....lame.

Isla Fisher is still getting used to her new religion, says Rebecca Mead in Allure. The 32-year-old star of Wedding Crashers grew up in Australia, where she was raised Methodist. Then in 2002, she began dating comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, aka "Borat." Baron Cohen proposed to her in 2004, and they had a daughter in 2007. But the couple is still not married, because Baron Cohen is an observant Jew and Fisher must become Jewish to be his wife.
She has been undergoing the conversion process, though she is vague about how far along she is. "It is always reported that I am still studying, so I am either the slowest studier in the world, or I have, in fact, converted." Fisher would rather not discuss the extent of her religious observance, explaining, "That would be talking about my relationship." But she has taken on the Hebrew name Ayala, which means "doe," and she no longer eats pork or other nonkosher food.
A Jewish wedding really is on the horizon, she says. The experience has been challenging, she says, but worth it. "I never saw it as a losing or gaining situation, just an embracing situation. If one wanted to be buried next to one's beloved and they were Jewish, then one would have to be Jewish, too. That came out really weird. Scratch the burial."

Many monitoring circuits are known for determining when the proper phase rotation sequence occurs in three power lines or conductors. Upon detection of an improper phase rotation, or a phase loss, a relay contact is actuated to either signal an error condition, or to automatically enable a correction circuit which reverses an incorrect phase rotation. Such monitoring circuits may be associated with the hoist motor of an elevator, for example, in order that an elevator car will travel in the proper up or down direction. I
Prior monitoring circuits have undesirably required a relatively large number of components, or have connected line power through some of the monitoring elements in the circuit, and therefore produce undesirable heating over long periods of time. The latter type circuits are especially undesirable when a relay is to be continuously actuated during a correct phase rotation sequence, and only occasionally deactuated to indicate an improper phase sequence or a phase loss.
In accordance with the present invention, an improved monitoring circuit is provided which overcomes the above disadvantages. The circuit is of extremely simple design and uses a minimum number of compo nents, while still providing accurate phase monitoring with a. wide safety factor. The improved circuit can be constructed using only one capacitor and several resistors, and therefore is extremely economical to manufacture. No inductors are utilized, other than a relay coil energized by the monitor circuit. In addition, the relay coil is connected directly through a switching device with two line conductors. No lumped impedance elements are connected in the power circuit for the relay coil, thus eliminating undesirable heating.
One object of this invention is the provision of a monitor for a three phase system, in which a relay coil is connected directly through a switching device across two line conductors. The direct connection is solely by wires, without lumped impedance elements.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a monitor for a three phase system, in which a simple phase detection network is formed using only resistive and capacitive elements, and desirably includes only two resistors and one capacitor.
Further advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description, and from the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a monitor circuit;
FIG. 2 is a vector diagram illustrating voltages in the monitor circuit for a proper phase rotation sequence;
FIG. 3 is a vector diagram illustrating voltages in the monitor circuit for an incorrect phase rotation sequence; and
FIG. 4 is a vector diagram illustrating voltages in the monitor circuit for a loss of one phase.
While an illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings and. will be described in detail herein, the invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms and it should be understood that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated. Throughout the specification, values and type designations will be given for certain of the components in order to disclose a complete, operative embodiment of the invention. However, it should be understood that suchvalues and type designations are merely representative and are not critical unless specifically so stated.
Turning to FIG. I, a monitor circuit I0 continuously actuates a relay 1] when a proper phase rotation sequence occurs on three line conductors L1, L2 and L3. Illustratively, the system is shown connected to a 220 volt, three phase power source having a 60 hertz frequency, and the proper phase sequence for the line conductors L1, L2, and L3 is (1)1, (b2, and (#3, respectively.
The circuit which energizes relay 11 includes no lumped impedance elements. The line terminal L1 is connected through a wire I5 directly with a three terminal, bidirectional switching device or thyristor 16, such as a triac, type 40530 bby RCA, having a first anode terminal 17, a second anode terminal 18, and a gate terminal 19 for triggering or gating the device 16 from its nonconductive into its conductive state when the signal between gate terminal 19 and anode 1 terminal 17 exceeds a predetermined voltage, herein approximately 5 volts. A wire connects the anode 1 terminal 17 to a relay coil 20 of relay 11, the opposite side being connected by a wire 21 directly to line terminal L3. The relay may be a type PRll by Potter-Brumfield, having a 230 volt, 60 hertz relay coil 20. When relay coil 20 is energized, it changes the state of a normally open relay contact 23, thereby closing a circuit for any desired external utilization device.
A phase detector network consists of a minimum member of lumped impedance elements, all desirably noninductive. Preferably, the network consists of a resistor 30, as 33 kilohms, connected between line terminal LI and a common summing junction X. A capacitor 32, as 0.082 microfarads, is connected between line terminal L2 and the summing junction X. The capaci tor 32 has a capacitive reactance of approximately 32,365 ohms at the power frequency of 60 hertz, and therefore its impedance approximately equals the impedance of resistor 30, and the remaining resistor in the network. Namely, resistor 34, as 33 kilohms, is connected between line terminal L3 and summing junction SX.
I Between summing junction X and a junction AI between the switching device 16 and relay coil 20, a solely resistive path is formed by a 50 kilohm variable resistor 40, the wiper of which is connected to a 10 kilohm resistor 42 in series with a 220 ohm resistor 44. The junction between resistors 42 and 44 is connected by'a wire 46 directly to the gate terminal 19 of switching device 16. The resistors 40, 42 and 44 form a current path in which at least a predetermined magnitude of current is necessary in order to produce a voltage drop across resistor 44 sufficient to actuate device 16. In operation, the voltage between junctions X and Al varies in magnitude dependent upon the phase rotation sequence applied to the line terminals L1, L2, and L3, as shown by the vector diagrams in FIGS. 2-4. When the proper or correct phase rotation sequence occurs, FIG. 2, the phase shift caused by capacitor 32, when summed with the voltages through the resistors 30 and 34, results in a voltage difference between junction X and A1 of approximately I02 volts, producing a greater than volt drop across resistor 44. The variable resistor 40 serves as a sensitivity control for firing the thyristor I6, and is adjusted to compensate for various magnitudes of three phase voltage applied to the terminals L1, L2 and L3. Resistor 42 serves as a limiter for the maximum voltage which may be developed across the resistor 44.
With an incorrect phase rotation sequence such as (#3, 2 and (111 for terminals L1, L2, and L3, respectively, the resulting voltages are illustrated in FIG. 3. The voltage difference between junctions X and Al now decreases to 26 volts, resulting in a current flow through resistor 44 insufficient to produce the necessary gating voltage. Thyristor 16 becomes deactivated, thereby open-circuiting the power path to line 15. The current path from the remaining terminals L1 and L2 through the respective lumped impedance elements to junction Al does not produce a current through relay coil 20 which is sufficient to actuate the relay contact 23.
When the phase @112 is lost, the resulting vector volt ages are illustrated in FIG. 4. The voltage difference between junctions X and Al drops to approximately 60 volts, thereby producing a current flow through resistor 44 which is not sufficient to actuate the thyristor 16. Again, the current path through the resistors 30, 40, 42 and 44 between line terminal L1 and junction A] has a high impedance which prevents the remaining phase 51 from actuating the relay coil 20. It will be apparent that if one of the other phases 4:1 or (123 is lost, power is disconnected from the power circuit in series with relay coil 20 and thyristor 16, with the consequence that relay coil 20 again becomes deenergized. Although a very small current can flow through the remaining lumped impedance elements, again the current is not sufficient to actuate the relay coil 20.
It can thus be seen that the monitor circuit is of very simple design, and uses one capacitor, a minimum number of resistors, and no inductors. Also, no transformers are necessary, as have commonly been necessary in prior circuits.
I claim:
I. In a three phase system having three line conductors with a desired relative phase rotation sequence, a monitor for detecting an improper phase sequence or a loss of phase, comprising:
switching means including thyristor means in series with relay means energized when the thyristor means is in a conductive state and there is no loss of phase in said three phase system for indicating the occurance of the desired relative phase rotation sequence, the deenergization of said relay means indicating an improper phase sequence or a loss of phase;
conductor means connecting said switching means directly between a pair of said three line conductors to cause said relay means to be energized by current flowing through the thyristor means from a pair of phases of said three phase system, said conductor means containing no lumped impedance elements; and

"Lovely studio"
We stayed in the spacious studeo for 1 week , the owner Carmen was lovely to deal with and she was prompt in replying to my enquiry, booking the apt was hassle free and straightforward, Carmen offered airport transfers which we did and we were delighted with the service , the driver carried our suitcase to the apt and showed us round.The studio is clean and comfortable with everything you may need for your stay , the bonus was it had a washing machine which came in very useful as we like to travel light . the apt also had air con,a lovely large balcony with good views , The apt is situated on a bit of a hill but only 3 euros in a taxi.This is a friendly residential property so it is very quiet but great for a relaxing holiday.would recommend staying here and would book again without hesitation,and the price is reasonable too!! Thanks Carmen for an enjoyable stay.

"Studio,basic, a bit run down, excellent balcony great views."
Good points.
Studio is set in a nice quiet complex. Balcony is large & super views.
The lounge & sleeping area is basic but quite good. The TV has all the English channels & Sky Sports 2 & Eurosport, The beds were comfortable & had plenty of storing space.
Bad points.
The kitchen is very old & cheapy cheap the cooker is an old two hob, & has no oven, The dishes were a mix match & there was no frying pan. The odd thing is the kitchen is it is very small & has a huge freezer/ fridge which takes up a lot of room, but why such a big freezer/fridge when really it is so hard to do any real cooking?
The bathroom was ok, but again the vanity unit was old & very tatty, incidentally the mirror in the vanity unit was the only mirror in the studio, so no looking if your dress looks good ladies.
I give 3 & a half stars, but must say that with a little money spent on the studio it could easily be 5*

Increasingly, wellness is expanding beyond physical health to include total well-being—social, mental, occupational and financial health. Consequently, organizations are looking beyond health care cost control as the sole objective and turning attention to the broader organizational impact of a healthy workforce. Strategies such as value-based health care (VBHC) are used to target and implement win-wins for organizations and workers; and engagement, turnover, absenteeism and productivity are viewed as key indicators of a culture of health and wellness.

Cd M, California...
I made this for my IB art class. I love being able to use school as an excuse to sew. :)
My theme was 1950s fashion inspired: Dior's New Look, Jacques Fath and vintage in general. Clothes from then were so lovely and elegant.
It is actually two pieces: the top blouse-y part and the skirt part. I used a tutorial from Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing (http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/2009/08/sew-full-gathered-skirt-part-one-make.html) to make the skirt, modifying it a bit by lengthening it and gathering more to make up for the material (a navy nylon). I drafted my own pattern for the blouse, which is chiffon material. I ran out of time while making the blouse (procrastination ㅠㅠ) and I made the pieces a bit too narrow to sew the sides together, so it turned out a little risque, haha. I think I will fix the pattern and make it again sometime, and connect the sides so that I can actually wear it without having to worry about flashing anyone!
Oh, I finally broke out my tripod and DSLR to take these! Yay! :)

love it!!! I would of course add a back if i were to wear it, but it looks amazing on you like this!
Oct 27, 2010, 01.00 PMby himechan
Thank you~^^
There actually is a back piece, but I failed at making the sides long enough so it doesn't connect to the front. >w<

wow. beautiful, sexy and classy. you look stunning in it, great job!

Megan Hart
Lovely Wild
MIRA / November 25, 2014 (print), December 1,2014 (digital) / $14.95 print, $9.99 digital
Brought up in the savage captivity of her unstable grandmother's rural Pennsylvania home, Mari Calder once yearned for rescue. Now she struggles every day to function as an adult in the confines of normal society. Left with only a foggy recollection of her childhood, she's consumed with being a dutiful wife to her husband, Ryan, and mother to their two children.
But an unexpected twist of events returns her to that long-forgotten house in the woods. Soon, Mari is greeted with reminders of a past life, the clarified memories only inviting a new level of strangeness into her fragile world. To protect her family, she must find the beautiful, powerful strength hidden in her inner chaos. Because someone is bent on exploiting Mari's trauma, and as normal and wild begin to blend, a string of devastating truths force Mari to question all she thought she knew.
Megan Hart has done it again, writing a book that gave me chills and kept me turning the page. One of the things I love about Hart's books is that she writes strong female characters, and Lovely Wild is no exception.

I was wondering the same thing... out of cake or out of gumpaste? They are definitely very different! :) As for gumpaste, you really have to find what type of "face" works for you, like playing with clay when you were a kid. :) As for cake... I have no clue! :)

November 28, 2014
BUTLER, Pa. (AP) - A New Jersey man has been sentenced to 35 to 80 years in prison for murdering his father and stepmother at their western Pennsylvania home, then claiming they died in a fiery car crash.
Forty-two-year-old Colin Abbott, of Randolph, N.J., was sentenced by a Butler County judge Wednesday. A day earlier he'd entered a surprise no-contest plea to third-degree murder in the June 2011 killings of Kenneth and Celeste Abbott.
Authorities contend Abbott dismembered and burned the bodies then scattered the remains on the family property about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh. He told relatives they were burned beyond recognition in a crash.
Prosecutors say Kenneth Abbott's multimillion-dollar estate drove the killings.
Colin Abbott cried as his attorney told the court he regrets "what he has put his family through."

Mark Burnett Sets U.K. Production Venture with Red Arrow
Mark Burnett's One Three Media is extending its reach into the U.K. through a production venture with Red Arrow Entertainment.
Deal calls for the new company to focus on bringing One Three formats to the U.K. market as well as developing original fare, with support from Red Arrow's existing partner, CPL Prods.
One Three Media U.K. will formally open its doors in January. A head for the company will be announced soon.

"As I grew up in the U.K., I am always looking at the best way to do more business here and when the opportunity came up with Red Arrow it just made sense," Burnett said. "We have partnered with Red Arrow's CPL on several projects in the past. They are very similar to us in their commitment to providing quality content with unparalleled execution."
Said Jan Frouman, managing director of Red Arrow Entertainment Group: "Mark Burnett is one of the premier creators and producers of our time. Partnering in the U.K. feels like an incredibly smart and effective way to build on the working relationships we've established -- as well as the collective strengths of our two groups."
Burnett is an established player in the British TV scene, thanks to the success of the Brit rendition of "The Apprentice" and other shows.
