My Mother in law thought she'd be funny and bought me this cookbook called "Get in the Kitchen, BIT@HES!" (bitchcooks.com) for my birthday. It was a cute gift and happened to be really funny. But now, when she comes over, my husband and her, keep saying.. "Get in the Kitchen, BIT@H, and make us some damn dinner", or "What's our little Bit@h making us tonight". Yeah.. that got old really fast. So tonight, I am going to make them the dish called 'Lick My Boots! Lamb' with a side of the 'Eat Me! Eggplant'. I am going to serve it to them in dog bowls on the floor and tell em to get on their damn knees and slurp.. How you like your damn dinner now, BIT@HES?

LOL....this "journalist" expects people to take etiquette lessons from someone who uses a made up word like "ghetto-ized". What type of trash talk is that? The correct reason not to seat all single people together is so that they do not feel ostrasized. Same as not all young people are not seated together, or not all females are seated together, etc.

SHAME ON YOU for even thinking in your small mind to even 'think' that the journalist was comparing the pictured Monkey to an African American. What you did was to help other 'small-minded' people out there to say to themselves and others...'see, I told you 'THEY' look like Monkeys. Further the made-up words you used 'Ghetto-sized' or whatever it was, really makes you sound IGNORANT. Next time...THINK...before writing your little comment!

I am very dissapointed that AOL would choose to use a picture of a primate that has been trained to sit on a miniture piano. It is unknown to much of the public the trauma involved in primates that have been separated from their mother at birth and lack the knowledge they would naturally gain from experience. The training involved with primates can be very physically and mentally traumatizing, as with all primates, when they reach maturity (in smaller new world monkeys this occurs within a few years of age) they are very unpredictable and unmanageable, and thus can be subjected to physical abuse from tainers. I hope that the main public will be able to learn more about the issues with primates in entertainment, the private sect, and roadside zoos in the years to come, as it is not a widely known topic.

I apologise for my spelling errors, as I am writing this quickly on my lunch break! Thank you to anyone who happened to read my post, I really hope it will become easier to access such information about all exotic animals who are forced into the entertainment business. Anyone who had heard about Travis the chimpanzee who attacked the woman in Connecticut has had a taste of how incredibly dangerous many non-human primates can be due to being in a foreign environment and being raised in captivity.

Lighten up. If there are two single people who may have something in common seat them together for crying out loud. If there are only two, there will be non-singles on the other side of them.
As a single person, I am relieved to know I am not the only one at a party.
I hate going to coupled events if I am not invited to bring someone. So put me with someone who is not paired.

Leave the animals in their native environment. They were not put here to entertain us.

This week's ruling by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission that a Greater Cincinnati landlady violated a girl's civil rights by posting a "whites only" sign at an apartment complex's swimming pool is a decision that most rational people would say is just.
The Jan. 12 ruling means the commission, if it cannot reach a settlement with landlady Jamie Hein, could issue a complaint against her with the Ohio Attorney General's Office. The AG's Office would then represent the complainant, Michael Gunn, before an administrative law judge, who could impose penalties and punitive damages.
(UPDATE AT BOTTOM) Fox News commentator Sean Hannity's participation in a Cincinnati Tea Party event today is drawing sharp criticism from experts on journalism ethics.
Hannity will be taping his TV show tonight during the local Tea Party's second annual Tax Day rally, which is being held at the University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena.
"The First Energy Family has contributed more than $44,000.00 into re-election campaigns for Justices Cupp and O'Donnell this year alone," O'Neill, a Democrat who is running for the Ohio Supreme Court, wrote. "It is simply wrong for them to continue sitting on First Energy cases."
The Ohio Supreme Court, which has seven justices decide
the state's top judicial cases, is currently handling a case
involving FirstEnergy, an energy company based in Akron. More than
300,000 customers are suing the company over alleged fraud. The 11th
District Court of Appeals previously ruled against FirstEnergy, and the case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.
The lawsuit is the fifth Ohio Supreme Court case involving FirstEnergy this year.
O'Neill pointed out the lawsuit "could easily be a billion dollar case" before writing, "And the public has a right to know that the ruling was not purchased by one side or another."
Ohio Sen. Mike Skindell, a Democrat who is also running for the Ohio Supreme Court, endorsed O'Neill's letter. In the past, he also criticized Cupp and O'Donnell for potential conflicts of interest.
The offices of Cupp and O'Donnell did not immediately respond to CityBeat's requests for comment on the letter. This story will be updated if responses become available.
UPDATE OCT. 4, 4:12 P.M.: Mark Weaver, spokesperson for Cupp, responded: "Mr. O'Neill previously raised this argument with disciplinary authorities by filing a complaint. It was reviewed by disciplinary authorities, and they unanimously dismissed it as having no merit."
A prominent, nonpartisan group today announced its opposition to Issue 48, the proposed amendment to Cincinnati's charter that would block the creation of a streetcar system for at least a decade.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area issued a press release today stating it opposes the amendment because the wording is so broadly written that it would prevent the development of any passenger rail system including light rail or commuter rail.
America is a country at war. While the war in Iraq ostensibly drew down in December 2011, the United States has been quagmired in a war in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
But we're also in the midst of a number of other wars — cultural wars. It started with Nixon's War on Drugs, then quickly escalated.
President Barack Obama's environmental regulations on coal mining caused proponents to claim he had declared a War on Coal. The Affordable Care Act's mandate that companies pay for employee contraception caused many faith groups to claim a War on Religion.
Statements from Republican politicians about "legitimate rape" and "binders full of women" caused some Democrats to claim the GOP had declared a War on Women.
And the ever-vigilant conspiracists news hounds at FOX News have exposed a scheme by Jesus-hating liberals to wage a War on Christmas for trying to remove constitutionally questionable dolled-up trees and pastoral scenes of babies in unsuitable barn-life cribbery faith-based displays from public property.
But by far the most heinous altercation being waged originated with Republican Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, who has declared a War on Babies.
As first reported by The Enquirer, conservative groups this week sent out a press release vilifying Niehaus for killing tons of babies in a mass effort to wipe out the state's youth population a 17-month old bill that would give Ohio one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation.
Niehaus moved the so-called Heartbeat Bill — which would ban all abortions after the first detectable fetal heartbeat — from the Health Committee to the Rules and Reference Committee to avoid a forced vote on the legislation. He also removed staunch anti-abortion Senators Keith Faber and Shannon Jones from that committee.
"I'm shocked by Tom Niehaus' war on pro-life women," wrote Lori Viars in the news release. Viars is the vice president of Warren County Right to Life and vice chair of Warren County Republican Party.
Viars called for Republicans to remove Niehaus from Senate leadership. Niehaus is term-limited and will not continue on in office after this year.
Niehaus blamed Romney's loss for his decision to kill the bill, saying that the Republican's victory would have increased the likelihood of a U.S. Supreme Court lineup that would uphold it against a likely challenge.
Limitations imposed by Ohio lawmakers who oppose the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") have forced Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to give up a $124,419 federal grant that would have gone toward helping uninsured Ohioans navigate new online marketplaces for health insurance.
Specifically, the state law, which Gov. John Kasich signed on April 30 and went into effect on July 30, excludes any organization that receives payments from a health care payer, such as an insurance company, from being designated as a "navigator."
The designation is necessary for Cincinnati Children's Hospital to receive the federal grant, which is part of national outreach efforts to enroll as many Americans, especially young adults, into Obamacare's online marketplaces when they open for enrollment on Oct. 1.
Without the designation, Cincinnati Children's Hospital was forced to give up the federal money, Cincinnati Children's Hospital spokesperson Terry Loftus told CityBeat.
State legislators passed the restrictions to clarify regulations on navigators that avoid potential abuses and conflicts of interest.
But Obamacare's supporters claim the state law is part of a nationwide effort from state and federal Republicans to make Obamacare more difficult to implement.
The federal government intends to sign up 7 million people into Obamacare's online marketplaces, but 2.7 million have to be young adults to keep costs low. Otherwise, older, less healthy Americans will fill up the marketplaces, exhaust health services and drive up costs.
Supporters of Obamacare acknowledge that signing up so many young adults will be difficult, so they've taken to national and state-by-state education campaigns that tell young adults about the benefits and cost savings made available through the president's signature health care law. These campaigns are being headed by various organizations that have been dubbed "navigators."
But opponents, particularly Republicans, are preventing some of the efforts by investigating navigators and passing legislation in state governments that limits what navigators can do and who can be classified as a navigator.
Most recently, Republicans in the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter to groups participating in the navigator program with a series of accusations and questions.
"This is a blatant and shameful attempt to intimidate groups who will be working to inform Americans about their new health insurance options and help them enroll in coverage, just like Medicare counselors have been doing for years," Erin Shields Britt, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, told The Hill.
For the uninsured, not knowing about the online marketplaces could mean losing out on opportunities to obtain health insurance at lower costs. Recent reports have found that Obamacare's online marketplaces and tax subsidies will lower costs for Ohioans in the individual health care market.
An Aug. 29 study from the RAND Corporation, a reputable think tank, found health care premiums will rise to an average of $5,312 under Obamacare in 2016. Without the law, premiums would reach an average of $3,973 that year. But when Obamacare's tax credits are plugged in, the average Ohioan will only pay a premium of $3,131 — $842 less than he or she would pay without the law.
Avik Roy, a conservative health care economist and prominent critic of Obamacare, found even better results for Ohio. His model found premiums will drop by 30 percent in Ohio, although they'll rise by 24 percent on average for 13 states, including Ohio, and the District of Columbia as a whole. Unlike RAND, Roy's calculations don't take subsidies into account, so the final cost for the average Ohioan is likely much lower.
The numbers only apply to Ohioans in the individual health insurance market. Under Obamacare, individuals will be able to enroll for health insurance through an online marketplace. The majority of Americans who get health insurance through their employers or public programs fall under different rules and regulations.
It's unclear how much Republican opposition will ultimately play into the numbers. But for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, it means $124,419 less to help its neediest, less knowledgeable patients.
The next president of the United States, Barack Obama, officially has announced a campaign rally for Sunday evening at UC's Nippert Stadium. Gates open at 6 p.m., and he's scheduled to speak at 9. Check out the Obama web site for details.
It's fitting that he makes his final area appearance of the campaign on the UC campus, where he held such a stirring rally in February before the Ohio primary.
If you have time, do yourself a favor and go see Obama live tomorrow. Then help him win the election on Tuesday.
If you're still undecided, check out CityBeat's endorsement of Obama here.
Another round of layoffs hit Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper this afternoon. Various reports indicate between 12 and 20 people were let go at The Enquirer.

What is it with shoddy building practices in China? The country executes people for jaywalking. Aren't developers and builders afraid of some disaster in their projects that would put them in front of a firing squad? Where are the laws?
This is an interesting topic. I wish the analysis showed a little more depth. The host seemed content to accept very brief statements and interpret them in a very negative way. He describes the project as far behind schedule. Given the numbers Dinny reports, they don't seem so far behind.
I'd like to hear more about these projects. Where are they being built? What is the safety assessment of those under construction or already finished? What is the real gap in funding? Who owns these--the government or a developer? Are they really a low-return product for banks seeing as how a lot of developer loans may never actually be repaid. Will this be a satisfactory solution for those priced out of the China housing market?

DVRs and APLCs utilize a single transformer for injection of compensating voltages into an ac power line and for drawing power from or exchanging power with the ac power line. The poles of an inverter are connected in series with the wye connected transformer primary winding which is also connected to the source end of the power line. A first secondary winding is connected to the load end of the power line. A rectifier circuit or a power interface inverter in the DVR and APLC, respectively, is connected to a second secondary winding on the transformer. For high pulse numbers, the rectifier circuit or interface inverter can have additional rectifier bridges or inverter poles connected to additional transformer secondary windings phase shifted with respect to each other. The single transformer can be a load transformer already provided in the power line, thereby further reducing the cost of the arrangement.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to apparatus incorporating solid state inverters for providing compensation on a three-phase electric power line. More particularly, it relates to apparatus which injects a compensating voltage into the power line in series, such as for example, a dynamic voltage restorer or an active power line conditioner. The inverters are connected to the primary windings of the single transformer and are line powered through additional secondary windings on the transformer.
2. Background Information
There are various types of apparatus for providing compensation on electric power lines which incorporate power inverters. One such system is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) an example of which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,329,222. The DVR injects a voltage in series with a utility source for the purpose of making up missing voltage that occurs when upstream faults cause short term voltage sags. The DVR described in the above mentioned patent uses three single-phase inverter modules with a common dc link which are connected to the utility line through injection transformers. The common dc link approach allows the use of one common source of energy to supply three separate injection systems, one for each phase, in a three-phase system. This common source of energy can be for instance, a capacitor bank or an interface to draw the required power from the line, even when the voltage is sagged. The injection transformers isolate the power electronics from the power line allowing the maximum injection capacity to be less than the source voltage. It has been shown that the vast majority of sags in utility systems are less than 50% of the phase-to-neutral voltage. The DVR can correct these sags with an inverter rating of less than the connected downstream load which is protected by the DVR.
In practice, the inverter modules of the DVR can be implemented as individual power devices, if the ratings are high enough; series strings of power devices as is the present practice and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,347,166; or single-phase inverter modules as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,674,024. Larger units, using magnetics for phase-staggered waveform mixing are also possible.
As previously stated, the topologies which have an injection transformer allow a common dc link and energy storage interface since the injection transformer provides the required isolation. This technique requires three single-phase or one three-phase transformer with a five leg core since such a transformer must support zero sequence voltage components.
In many applications, it is possible, and even desirable to derive the power required to make up a sag from the source. No significant energy storage is provided. For instance, a line powered DVR is known in which a three-phase transformer having a rectifier bridge connected to the secondary draws power directly from the power line. This arrangement not only requires the injection transformers but also the three-phase transformer for drawing power from the line. When the input voltage sags, the line powered DVR responds by drawings more current from the source to provide the power required by the load. The product of the positive sequence source voltage and current remains constant.
patent application Ser. No. 09/017,034, filed Feb. 2, 1998, proposes a neutral point connected DVR in which a three-phase inverter wye connects the secondary windings of a three-phase load transformer to the load end of the power line. This eliminates the need for injection transformers and in fact does not require any additional transformers where the load transformer is already present in the system. In a line powered version of the neutral point connected DVR, the inverter is powered from the load side. If the inverter is to optimized for fifty percent injection, a line power transformer is required. This means that a total of two transformers are required.
Commonly owned Patent Application entitled Power Inverter Apparatus Using The Load Transformer Of An AC Power Line To Insert Series Compensation (Attorney Docket No. RDM 97-037), concurrently filed in the name of C. G. Hochgraf, discloses several methods of connecting an inverter to the primary or source side of a transformer in a DVR. This system has some advantages in common with the neutral point connected DVR. It keeps the transformer voltage constant during a sag condition, whereas the neutral point connected DVR keeps only the load voltage constant. In this version, only one transformer is required in most cases. In versions of this system where the primary winding is delta connected, and a three-phase inverter with a common dc link is used to provide the voltage compensation, one single-phase injection transformer is needed to provide the required isolation.
Another type of compensation equipment which uses series injection with transformer coupling is the active power line conditioner (APLC). The APLC includes a series inverter and a parallel inverter connected by a common dc link. The parallel inverter transfers real power to and from the series inverter and also supplies harmonic currents and the reactive component of the load current. The series path in the APLC suffers from the same limitations as the DVR due to the series injection transformer discussed above patent application Ser. No. 09/017,034, filed Feb. 2, 1998, discussed above, discloses connection of the parallel inverter to the load side of the power line. While this APLC eliminates the need for injection transformers by using the neutral point connection for the series inverter, it requires an additional transformer for the connection of the parallel inverter to the load side of the power line, if the inverter system is partially rated.
While these improved DVRs and APLCs have reduced the cost of an installation by eliminating or reducing the number of transformers needed for series injection of voltage compensation into a power line, the APLC, and the DVR if it is to be line powered and take advantage of the partial rating, still require a separate transformer connected to the power line.
There is a need therefore for improved DVRs and APLCs which do not require a separate or additional transformer to draw power from the line.
This need and others are satisfied by the invention which is directed to apparatus for providing compensation in an ac power line which includes transformer means having a primary winding connected to the source end of the ac power line and at least two secondary windings with one of the secondary windings connected to the load end of the power line. Inverter means connected to the primary winding adds compensating voltage to the voltage presented to the primary winding by the source to provide the compensation. A dc interface connected to the second of the secondary windings and to the inverter means supplies dc voltage to the inverter means from the power line. For DVRs, the interface includes rectifiers for deriving the dc voltage from the power line. For APLC operation, additional inverter means are provided in the dc interface to exchange power with the power line.
While the invention is applicable to ac power lines with any number of phases including a single phase, it is particularly applicable to the conventional three-phase ac power line. In such applications, the inverter means is also three-phase and adds a compensating voltage to each phase of the primary winding. The secondary windings, including the second secondary winding which provides power to the inverter means, are also three-phase windings. Additional three-phase secondary windings, all phase shifted from each other and the second secondary winding, can be utilized to provide higher pulse count power to the rectifiers to reduce the harmonics imposed on the power line.
The three-phase primary winding is wye connected. The inverter phases connect each of the primary windings to a common neutral node. A three-phase inverter is preferred as it reduces the number of inverter poles required and can be fed by a common dc interface.
The invention is also applicable to APLCs. In that case, the dc interface is another inverter which is connected to the second secondary winding on the transformer. For a three-phase ac power line, the interface inverter is a three-phase inverter and the second secondary winding can be either wye or delta connected. Where the load end of the ac power line has a fourth, neutral conductor, the interface inverter has a fourth pole connected to the neutral point of the wye connected second secondary winding.
The invention allows series injection of compensating voltages into a power line using line power with only a single transformer, which in many installations is already available in the form of a load transformer. It also makes it possible with the use of only one transformer to provide a higher pulse number for the dc interface which reduces the harmonic load on the source.
A full understanding of the invention can be gained from the following description of the preferred embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a line powered primary side connected DVR using one transformer in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a twelve-pulse version of the line powered primary side connected DVR of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of a line powered primary side connected APLC with a single transformer for a three-wire system.
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram similar to FIG. 5 for a four-wire system.
FIG. 1 illustrates application of the invention to a primary side connected DVR with a line power connection which requires only one transformer. The three-phase ac power line 1 has a source end 3 with three source end phase conductors 5a-5c and a load end 7 with three-phase conductors 9a-9c. A three-phase transformer 11 couples the source end phase conductors 5a-5c with the load end conductors 9a-9c. The three-phase transformer 11 has a three-phase primary winding 13 with windings 13a-13c wye connected to the source end phase conductors 5a-5c of the source end 3. The transformer 11 has a first three-phase secondary winding 15 with windings 15ab, 15ac, 15bc, connected to the load end phase conductors 9a-9c of the load end 7. While the first secondary winding 15 is shown delta connected to the load end, it could alternatively be wye connected. The primary winding 13 and first secondary winding 15 are wound on a common core 17. Such a load transformer 11 is typically provided in an ac power line so that high voltage may be used for transmission efficiency and then stepped down to a lower voltage for distribution to the loads.
A DVR 19 is utilized to provide compensation for voltage sags in the ac power line 1. The DVR 19 includes an inverter arrangement 21, which in the exemplary embodiment, is a single three-phase inverter. As is well known, the three-phase inverter 21 includes pairs of switching devices 23a1, 23a2 -23c1, 23c2 connected between the positive and negative rails 25, 27 of a common dc link 29. For power applications, the switches 23 can be devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) or gate turn off devices (GTOs). In the three-phase inverter 21 each of the pairs of switching devices forms a pole with an ac terminal 31a-31c which is connected to the common end of a corresponding primary winding 13a-13c of the transformer. The inverter 21 provides a conduction path for the wye connected primary windings and the ac voltage generated by each of the inverter poles is direct connected in series with the corresponding primary winding 13a-13c.
Filtering is provided by LC filters 35 connected between the ac terminals 33a-33c of the inverter 21 and the common ends of the transformer primary windings 13a-13c. Each of these LC filters 35 includes a series inductor 37a-37c and a shunt capacitor 39a-39c connected to a common node 41. A delta connected filter is also possible. The firing of the switches 23 in the inverter 21 is controlled to provide compensating voltages which are summed with the voltages delivered by the source 3 to make up for the voltage sags.
The dc link 29 incorporates a dc smoothing device 37 in the form of a large capacitor. Power for the inverter 21 is provided through a dc interface 39 which, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, is a three-phase, full wave rectifier 41, also known as a six-pulse rectifier bridge. This six-pulse rectifier bridge 41 is connected to a second three-phase secondary winding on the transformer 11 by leads 45a-45c. This second secondary winding 43 is wound on the common transformer core 17. While both of the secondary windings 15 and 43 are illustrated as delta connected windings, other arrangements can be used.
The arrangement of FIG. 1 greatly reduces the cost of a line powered DVR. By direct connecting phases of the three-phase inverter 21 in series with the primary windings 13a-13c of the transformer 11, the need for separate injection transformers is eliminated. In addition, use of another secondary winding on the transformer to provide power for the inverter 21 eliminates the need for the power transformer typically provided to power the inverter from the ac power line 1. As a load transformer 11 is typically already provided in the power line, no additional transformers are required for the DVR although the additional secondary winding must be provided. The cost of this is much less than providing a separate power transformer.
FIG. 2 illustrates a modified form of a line powered primary side connected DVR 19' which has an interface 39' with a twelve pulse rectifier system. In this arrangement, two six-pulse rectifier bridges 411 and 412 power the dc link 29. The first six-pulse rectifier bridge 411 is fed by the second three-phase secondary winding 43 through leads 451 while the second six-pulse rectifier bridge 412 is energized by an additional three-phase secondary winding 47 through leads 452. As noted, the second secondary winding 43 and the additional secondary winding 47 are phase shifted with respect to one another. This is accomplished by a delta connection for the second secondary winding 43 and a wye connection for the additional secondary winding 47. The twelve-pulse rectifier system reduces the harmonic currents in the rectifier circuit and thus the higher harmonic currents reflected to the source. More additional secondary windings 47 with different transformer 11 to power addition to the transformer 11 to power additional six-pulse rectifier bridges (not shown) to provide higher pulse numbers. This can still be achieved with the one transformer 11 having only one transformer core 17 thereby keeping the cost to a minimum.
The present invention can also be applied to APLCs using a single transformer. Such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 3 where the APLC 49 utilizes a similar three-phase inverter 21 to add compensating voltages in series with the voltages derived by the source 3. The difference is that the dc interface 50 employs a second interface inverter 51 having inverter poles 53a-53c formed by switches 55a1, 55a2 -55c1, 55c2. The ac terminals 57a-57c of the interface inverter 51 are connected to the second secondary winding 43 of the transformer 11 through the leads 59. Additional LC filters 61a-61c comprising series inductors 63a-63c and shunt capacitors 65a-65c are included in the leads 59. The switches 55a1 -55c2 are fired to control the exchange of real power between the APLC and the line 1 in a manner which is known and to absorb load harmonics.
FIG. 4 illustrates an APLC 49' in accordance with the invention adapted for use with a power line having a fourth, neutral load conductor 9n. In this case, the interface inverter 51' of the dc interface 50' includes a fourth, neutral pole 53n having an ac terminal 57n which is connected to the neutral point of the wye connected three-phase second secondary winding 43' through a neutral conductor 59n to which the filter capacitors 65 are connected.
The invention provides a low cost way of implementing a line powered DVR or APLC using only one three-phase transformer. The advantages of this circuit topology include: one three-phase transformer provides the line power derivation function, an injection connection and voltage step-down (or up) if desired; and, during a sag of less than or up to the injection capacity, the inverter maintains the transformer voltage as if the sag never occurred. There are no extreme transformer flux excursions which tend to drive the transformer into saturation. Finally, if a voltage conversion transformer is required at the installation location anyway, the total cost of the combined DVR or APLC and voltage conversion function results in an even lower overall cost.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of invention which is to be given the full breath of the claims appended and any and all equivalents thereof.

RIOULT Dance New York Receives NEA Grant
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced today that RIOULT Dance New York is one of 832 non-profit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. RIOULT Dance New York is recommended for a $10,000 grant to support the creation of a new work in 2013.
Choreographer Pascal Rioult is currently in close collaboration with composer Michael Torke, creating a new piece for the ten-dancer company based on Euripides' drama, Iphigenia in Aulis. Marking the third in Rioult's "Dance to Contemporary Composers Series," this new work will also serve as a companion piece to Rioult's critically acclaimed 2011 collaboration with composer Aaron J. Kernis in On Distant Shores...a redemption fantasy which took on the story of Helen of Troy. The new piece will have its world premiere to live music at RIOULT's New York Season at The Joyce Theater on June 4-9, 2013.
"I'm proud to announce these 832 grants to the American public including the creation of RIOULT's newest work," said Chairman Landesman. "These projects offer extraordinary examples of creativity in our country, including the creation of new work, innovative ways of engaging audiences, and exemplary education programs."
Pascal Rioult comments, "Working with living composers to create new work - as I'm doing this year and plan to continue - is a worthy tradition that has led to some of the greatest pieces in the history of dance. "
In March 2012, the NEA received 1,509 eligible applications for Art Works requesting more than $74 million in funding. The 832 recommended NEA grants total $22.3 million, span 13 artistic disciplines and fields, and focus primarily on the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing works for the benefit of American audiences. Applications were reviewed by panels of outside experts convened by NEA staff and each project was judged on its artistic excellence and artistic merit.

Sailor moon was my first inspiration to draw manga style. I have not posted my old works yet -- perhaps another day. Secondly, Final Fantasy (VII-VIII-X-XII-XIII) was my inspiration for digital art and fantasy characters. Recently, I have been in love with photography. I have a thirst for improvement. Hobby: I spend most of my time on online forums (mostly about One Piece), read manga online, do photography, drawing, watching anime and watch Asian drama.

And of course there is a feeling of resentment that is felt at the time, and I tried to cover it up. I was trying to get revenge on my friend deeds. I started looking for tutorials as well as materials used for photo editing. Since then I've continued to explore the field and eventually became my hobby until now.

Volunteers bolstered the health and enhanced the beauty of trees on the property.
SPRINGFIELD, Va. – Senior managers from SavATree took part in a community service project on Tuesday, May 10 at historic Woodlawn.
Built in 1805, this grand house overlooking the Potomac River was a gift from George Washington to his nephew Major Lawrence Lewis and his wife Nelly Custis. They named the estate "Woodlawn" because of the beautiful oak and other trees shading the hilltop building site of the mansion. Over two centuries later, some of those very same trees, along with some younger ornamentals are benefiting from a donation of services from SavATree.
"This donation will help Woodlawn's landscape recover from damage that occurred during the 2010 blizzard, as well as ensure the beauty and security of our trees for years to come," said Woodlawn's Director Dr. Laurie Ossman.
SavATree's community service program began in 2002, in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy when the company volunteered to assist in the reclamation of downtown Manhattan.
"We performed some much needed tree care at St. Paul's Chapel which served as a relief center for emergency and rescue workers of Ground Zero," said Luann O'Brien, senior vice president of sales and marketing at SavATree. "Each year we look for public parks and historic sites that are of significant importance to the local community. This is SavATree's way of giving back."
Duane Richardson, branch manager and certified arborist with SavATree said, "The estate is such a beautiful property, so rich in history – it's very exciting for us to have the opportunity to make a contribution to such a worthy cause."
At Woodlawn, 25 SavATree volunteers from eight states helped to bolster the health and enhance the beauty of some of the trees on the property, including the surviving Washington-era oak trees, with proper pruning techniques.
"The donation could not come at a better time," said Ossman, as Woodlawn shifts its focus toward its historic landscape through a new sustainable farming partnership with Arcadia, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting local growers, local food production and nutrition in the DC-metro region. "Woodlawn was defined by its landscape 200 years ago, and its trees are as valuable a part of our story as any museum artifact. We are thrilled that SavATree is providing support to help us care for these living witnesses to our community's rich history."
