Even more letterpress in Australia
Following my recent visit to Dorrigo (see here) and the last Australian newspaper still printed letterpress I have another discovery, and this time it is even closer to where I live, on the border between NSW and Queensland, Australia.
A news item in my local paper mentioned the Olive and Volcano press. The team of Jo and Andy print and publish a wide collection of letterpress. If you are in this part of the world do check them out.
You (still) have mail (just)
But for how long? In Australia we continue to have mail delivered (at least where I live) by posties riding a classic Honda CT110, though this institution is threatened by replacement by something greener – the Super Cub.
Nevertheless, the logo will remain designed by Dutchman, Pieter Huveneers.
And how long a postal service? Probably longer than anyone imagines as we still need those items ordered over the internet to be physically delivered to the door.
Unless Google fills the sky with its drones…
Note – in the photo of the mailbox when enlarged you will see the postie accelerating away in the distance.

In conversation with Eric Gill, part 2
[If you missed Part one, click here]
I smell the cigarette before I see him.
You're late, I say.
He sits close, our thighs almost touching, and crosses his legs. He wears something like a kilt and grey woollen socks come just below the knee. He adjusts them, a band behind the turndown needing to be slackened. In the burnished shine of his brown leather shoes I see clouds reflected. The cigarette smoulders at the end of a long mottled Bakelite holder. He looks out to sea then closes his eyes.
Do you believe them? he asks.
Without hesitation or reflection I answer. It is what I have waited to say.
What you did was vile. It was unconscienceable. I don't know how you were able to live with yourself knowing you had violated your own. If then it was not a crime, today you would be sent away and, good riddance, Mr Gill.
But was it unholy? His eyes are open now.
How can you hide behind false gods?
I am off track already, my long-prepared assault on his reputation has been easily parried. It's like he was expecting it all along, had determined to take me on at the outset without the distraction of introductions or well-mannered small talk.
My dear child, he begins. Everything we do is holy. Everything I did was promoted by that desire also to be truthful.
You fucked your own daughters, I shout.
There is no need to be vulgar. Intercourse is a beautiful partnership.
Not with your own.
Why ever not? I am surprised how orthodox you are. These taboos you speak of have been placed there by institutions keen to clamp our spirits.
I am becoming angrier. I force myself to calm down, take a moment to draw a deep breath.
Even your own fucked up religion does not tolerate incest.
Not incest, he counters, his voice rising an octave. No! It was not incest.
Then what is it?
A partnership mutually agreeable, he answers.
It sounds rehearsed as does what follows.
There was never dissent. After I had drawn and sketched her we lay together.
Then you took her every which way you liked.
I pause to allow the words find their level, attach to memories I sense are flooding his mind.
You took her and you knew she would never protest, call out, scream, tell her mother.
Mary knew, he says and his eyelids close.
Open them, I shout.
I stare at him. He focuses on mine, his glasses now reflecting the shit grey sea. Way above us a seagull cries. There is almost a thin smile of triumph moving across his face. I want to hit him but he is a shade from another place so my words must do duty.
I hesitate. I have long thought of this moment, triumphant in my moral justification, imagining him squirming at the end of a well placed, one might say clinical demonstration of reasoned judgement. I had considered my words, prepared a mental script. I was incisive in my preparations. I'd make him seek mercy as the magnitude of his sins were revealed. But now with him here by me I cannot. My mind is blank. Everything has been deleted. This man is Eric Gill and I can't continue for at another time I cherished him, loved him like my father even if he was dead. I feel I should apologise for my outburst. He leans forward, takes my right hand in both of his, pulls me closer.
Dear child, he says gently. Be angry. You are right. I did wrong. I was a bad man, a bad father, a bad husband to my wife. Know this though: What I did harmed no one. It was God's gift.
[to be continued]
Such poor typography, such poor design
This is truly appalling. The company behind this atrocity is The Coffee Club. How many indiscretions can you make out? It starts with the miserable lower case w, is exacerbated by the clumsy joining of the h and the m (this is most definitely the work of someone not trained in typography), and crowned by the (deliberate?) religious cross of the lc t. I will not even go there with the question mark, of which it must go down as probably the weakest example since moveable type was set rolling. Let me lay myself down in a darkened room….(Can a reader advise as to the name of this monstrosity of a font.)
PS – there are many other issues with this signage. Feel free to add your comments. It might make a good assignment for a first year graphic design course: "In no more than 1000 words indicate the faults in this piece of typography and indicate how you would improve it".
In conversation with Eric Gill, Catholic Englishman
A recently discovered manuscript, published for the first time, in which Mr Eric Gill talks directly.
This is the first part…to be continued…
In conversation with Eric Gill, Catholic Englishman
It is mid afternoon, that time when you push through the hours in anticipation of the end of the working day. But when you don't work there is no relief against the empty hours. I sit alone in one of those concrete shelters on the promenade local councils were once so fond of erecting: a civic contribution to the general wellbeing of the community, a public sanctuary protected from the weather. Protected too from observation, where clandestine rendevous can be arranged. Spies, maybe, to exchange secrets (how thrilling); lovers to furtively enjoy one another (how erotic); older couples to sit silently starring out to sea, their minds blank to the inadequacy of their relationship even if their hands are joined (how melancholy). A shame then that each shelter has a sharp smell of urine and is decorated, if that's the word, with spray can graffiti. Tags, that's the word I was searching for. Am I losing it, my wits not as sharp, my synapses – a word I can remember having heard it on the radio this morning – not firing so easily? I am as old as Dante and, I think, my best could be behind me now.
Of the shelters along the sea front I prefer this one since it's the furthest from town. Too far for families with young children, too distant for the old and infirm for whom this part of the coast attracts with the same hidden force a magnet does metal, and beyond the range of visitors whose time limits them to those gaudy pleasures clustered about the now abandoned and derelict pier: fish and chip shops, shell fish counters, ice cream parlours, candy floss; arcades pumping out music and bedazzling the eye with flashing lights; shops selling last year's desirables at knockdown prices; and, amid all this trash, a pub dating to the seventeenth century and still displaying its architectural heritage for anyone caring to observe, yet preferring to hide its charms behind contemporary adornments: always-on-TVs broadcasting sport, juke boxes, 'eat as much as you can' buffet. These places entice and capture most of those who might choose instead to walk the mile or so to my hiding place, and for the few who do make it this far (locals exercising either themselves or their dogs, in rare cases doing both simultaneously) the sight of me brooding alone is sufficient to cause them to quicken their step, to call their pet to heel, to turn quickly in case our eyes might meet. It's as if I carry a sign of unwelcome or there is in the air a pestilence that compels strangers to flee. Or perhaps it is just the sharp smell of urine that makes them scamper.
Yet today will be unlike every other day for today I will meet Eric. We met yesterday when our paths crossed, quite literally, at the train station though the more I think about it the less I believe it was chance. For what is chance but our laziness to recognise a pattern in all that happens in our lives. He had emerged from the footplate amid steam rising from the boiler. He was laughing and clearly in high spirits, cracking a final joke with the fireman with whom he had shared the journey. He had the demeanour of a boy and seemed to skip away from the locomotive with a lightness of foot that is without care or consequence. I watched as he adjusted his glasses, removed the cloth flat cap he was wearing, slapped it against his thigh to remove any lingering soot ash, replaced it and nodded to young couple passing just then, his eyes fixed, one might say penetrating the woman's clothing as in his mind he began to sketch her naked. He was, after all, an artist. I think she understood for she looked behind to receive his smiling invitation. Eric, I thought, you are no different from what I imagine you to have been. As the woman's male friend dragged her away (she complaining) his attention turned to me. 'Are you really going to say something?' I thought. His course was set. It was inevitable we met.
Eric Gill, he said.
I know.
You know me?
I was once a fan of yours.
I mean I was once a letter carver like you.
You made a living at it?
Not really.
Then you cannot call yourself…
I don't.
What are you?
What am I?
Are you deaf? What is your occupation?'
I do many things.
Any of them well?
I think so.
What? What in particular do you do well?
I listen.
That's it?
Isn't that enough?
You are asking me that?
Who are you to judge?
Considering this he lit a cigarette.
I will see you tomorrow, he said and walked away.
I watched until he vanished amid a circle of dancing children.

In the past it has just been traced hands and crayon coloring but this year we added feathers for a little extra fun. It worked out great with both preschooler and toddler to be able to help make their own turkey. They both had fun playing with the feathers before we glued them down. I look forward to trying something new next year with the same classic craft. We hope you and your family may have some fun with this too.
What we used:
construction paper, feathers, glue, googly eye, markers, crayons.
What to do:
trace child's hand and then let them glue feathers on. My oldest glued a googly eye on. for my youngest I just put a black dot with a marker. I helped them add feet and beaks. You can let the kids color them before adding the feathers if you want. Then let dry. We hang ours up in the house to add to our holiday decorations.

Pope Francis: Pray for me
A staunch conservative and devout Jesuit in Latin America's most socially progressive nation, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, is the product of an almost Solomon-esque choice by the princes of the church.
The 76-year-old hails from a country and a continent where the once powerful voice of the church is increasingly falling flat, losing ground - as it is in Europe - to a tide of more permissive and pragmatic faiths and to fast-rising secularism.
But the first Latin American Pope also represents a cultural bridge between two worlds - the son of Italian immigrants in a country regarded by some as the New World colony Italy never had. For many Italians, his heritage makes him the next best thing to the return of an Italian pope.
Bergoglio remains a fierce critic of socially progressive trends including gay marriage, representing a continuity of Benedict XVI's conservative doctrine. Though questioned for some of his actions during Argentina's Dirty War, he may also be a target hard for progressives to hit. In recent decades, he has emerged as a champion of social justice and the poor who spoke out against the evils of globalization and has slammed the "demonic effects of the imperialism of money."
His papal name honors St. Francis of Assisi, the son of wealthy merchants who abandoned all for a life of poverty in the path of Jesus Christ.
He represents a flashback to an old-school view of the Catholic leaders as humble, soft-spoken clerics who walked among their flock and led by example - albeit also one who has used the Internet as a tool to reach lapsed Catholics.
"He knows how to take a municipal bus. When he became a local ordinary of Buenos Aires, he moved from a large impressive home to a modest dwelling. He has a sense of social justice, but he can be seen as quite conservative doctrinally," said the Rev. Robert Pelton, CSC, the director of Latin American Church Concerns at the University of Notre Dame.
In his global introduction from the balcony of St. Peter's, he addressed the crowd in Italian, one of three languages he fluently speaks. He presented himself as soft and plain spoken, humble, even quaint - directing his comments seemingly to the citizens of his new city, Rome, more than to the 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide.
"And now let us begin this journey, the Bishop and people, this journey of the Church of Rome which presides in charity over all the Churches, a journey of brotherhood in love, of mutual trust," he said. "Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world that there might be a great sense of brotherhood. My hope is that this journey of the Church that we begin today, together with help of my Cardinal Vicar, be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful city."
Before imparting his first blessing as the new Bishop of Rome, Francis I asked the faithful to pray for him, as he bowed his head in silence.
Born in Buenos Aires on Dec. 17, 1936, Bergoglio was raised in a struggling middle class home of a railroad worker and housewife. He was ordained a priest in 1969.
He rose fast. In 1992, John Paul II named him assistant bishop in Buenos Aires, then made him Archbishop five years later.
He served on a number of Vatican commissions and in 2005 is widely believed to have come in second to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger - now the Pope emeritus - to succeed John Paul II.

Saturday, March 21, 2015
The BADWATER® ultra running experience returns to the East Coast when the second BADWATER CAPE FEAR race takes place on Bald Head Island, North Carolina on March 21, 2015. Registration is now open and an image of the 51-mile race finisher's buckle is attached, along with other images from the race's inaugural edition on March 22, 2014. See an aerial video of the 2014 race here:http://vimeo.com/95564034 With 50km and 51-mile options, the race features a twelve-mile warm-up on the car-free, one-lane-wide roads of Bald Head Island, followed by either 19 or 39 miles of running on the wild and secluded sandy beach between Cape Fear and Fort Fisher. The race is held along the Atlantic Seaboard with spectacular views of the Frying Pan Shoals to the east and wild and undeveloped marshlands to the west. It is and dramatic, invigorating, and inspiring manner in which to experience Cape Fear in all its grandeur! This exquisite natural setting is the perfect antidote to the "real world" and a wonderful counterpart to the desert sands of the Mojave Desert and Anza-Borrego Desert featured in the two West Coast BADWATER® races. Bald Head Island and nearby Southport, NC (featured in the film "Safe Haven") are ideal vacation get-away spots for the entire family, located less than one hour from Wilmington, NC and its major airport with Delta and US Airways service (flying into Myrtle Beach, SC is another convenient option.) Once the remarkable beauty and quaint southern charm of this area are experienced once, we anticipate that most Badwater Cape Fear participants will make this race an annual pilgrimage. In 2014, eighty runners from 17 states plus Canada, ranging in age from 20 to 72, competed in the inaugural edition. See the entire 2014 webcast here: http://www.badwater.com/capefear/2014.html This year the race will accept a field of up to 150 runners. The Official Charity of BADWA

Health care in America is already evolving how care is delivered and paid for, as millions of Americans have bought insurance on public exchanges and employer benefits have started to tighten. Not all changes have been positive however, and our political parties have very different ideas about both what is still broken and how to fix it.
The snacking market is ripe with opportunity. Global snacking sales are higher than the total GDP of 61 countries. In today's fast-paced world, many consumers are even blurring the lines between a snack and a meal. But despite the huge market, consumers are still demanding more from their snacks.
Marketers struggle today to find a happy medium for their media. While traditional TV viewing is still dominant, smartphone and tablet growth is fueling increased opportunities to reach your audience. Today, getting the mix of the right incremental reach is more important than ever.
Brands big and small are clamoring to build their appeal with Hispanic shoppers. This is especially true in the perimeter of the store where Hispanic shoppers spend $185 more per year on fresh foods than non-Hispanic shoppers.
It's a sobering fact that more than 85 percent of new fast-moving consumer good products fail in the marketplace. Yet a small percentage of new innovations do more than just succeed. This session will teach you that innovation is far more science than magic.
As the 2014 midterm campaign season heats up, it will be increasingly important to reach swing voters. Independents range from 19% to 52% of all registered voters across U.S. local markets.

The present invention relates to a feedback device.
The invention has been primarily developed for communicating an audible signal to an operator of a point of sale console. However, the invention is by no means restricted to that field of use, and has various alternate applications.
Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
Retail venues typically make use of one or more point of sale (POS) consoles to facilitate the processing of consumer transactions. Typically, a consumer collects one or more consumer items from within the retail venue, and presents these to an operator of a POS console for processing. The console includes an identification system for obtaining identification information from the item or items, such as a barcode scanner or RFID reader. The console also includes a processor for validating the identification information to obtain product pricing information from a data source, and for totaling an account to be paid by the consumer.
It is typically preferable to implement POS consoles with a high throughput capability. That is, POS consoles with the ability to process a large number of items in a relatively short amount of time. This is achieved by utilizing efficient and reliable identification technology, such as bi-optic barcode scanners. To assist in improving throughput, it is common for a POS console to provide an operator with an audible tone indicative of an item being read, or in some cases correctly read and validated. For example: a first tone is produced each time an item is correctly read and validated, and an audibly distinct second tone is produced each time the console experiences a problem in validation. As such, the operator is�at least in theory�able to conveniently identify if and when an item is not correctly processed.
In large supermarkets, numerous POS consoles are arranged in adjacent lanes. This often creates difficulties for operators in recognizing and reacting to audible tones. For example, an operator of a first POS console mistakenly relies or acts upon a tone from a second POS terminal. Further, the continuous repetition of monotonous tones arguably detracts from a consumer's retail shopping experience.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative.
In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a feedback device including:
In some embodiments the point of sale console is a barcode scanner. In other embodiments the point of sale console includes a barcode scanner in conjunction with other components.
Preferably, the output is an ultrasonic transducer. More preferably the second signal is an inaudible ultrasonic transmission, and the transducer outputs this ultrasonic transmission such that inherent properties of air within the transmission zone distort the ultrasonic transmission to provide the audible signal. Even more preferably, the audible signal is substantially inaudible outside of the transmission zone.
In some embodiments the transducer is mounted to the console. However, in other embodiments, the transducer is spaced apart from the console.
Typically, the console is operated from a control station defined in three-dimensional space, and the transmission zone includes at least part of the control station. Preferably the console and a second console having a second control station are located within a common checkout zone, and the audible signal is not audible in the second control station.
In a preferred embodiment, the console includes a scanner for reading identification tags, and the first signal is indicative of an identification tag having been read. Preferably, the console includes a processing unit for validating the identification tag, and the first signal is indicative of the tag having been read and validated. More preferably the validation results in an approval or a rejection, and the audible signal is indicative of the approval or the rejection.
In some embodiments the first signal identifies a product and the audible signal is an advertisement related to the product.
According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for providing feedback from a point of sale console, the method including the steps of:
According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a scanner including:
In some embodiments the scanning includes barcode recognition. In other embodiments the scanning includes RFID tag interrogation.
Benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates from the subsequent description of exemplary embodiments and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to the drawings, it will be appreciated that, in the different figures, corresponding features have been denoted by corresponding reference numerals.
In the present embodiment transducer 7 outputs transmission 6 such that inherent properties of air within zone 8 distort transmission 6 to provide signal 9. This will be recognized as a utilization of hypersonic sound. In other embodiments, alternate hypersonic transmission techniques are used to substantially limit the audibility of signal 9 to the space defined within zone 8. Those skilled in the art will recognize such techniques, and understand how they are used in alternate embodiments of the invention. The underlying rationale is that a directed and substantially focused beam of sound is created to define zone 8 such that signal 9 is audible only in zone 8. The theory, mathematics and engineering of such sound transmission systems falls beyond the scope of this disclosure, and it will be appreciated that known hardware is typically used for the purposes of transducer 7, and known hardware and/or software is used to achieve certain functionalities of processor 5.
In the illustrated embodiment, device 1 is implemented in a retail supermarket to provide feedback to an operator 10 of console 4. Operator 10 interacts with console 4 from within a control station 11 defined in three-dimensional space. This control station is notionally defined by the space an averagely sized operator 10 would occupy in conventional use of console 4. In some embodiments the station 11 is notionally defined in a different manner�for example being based on the typical location of the ears of operator 10, as shown in
In the embodiment of
It will be appreciated that the positioning of transducer 11, the selection of zone 8, and the definition of station 11 are all interlinked.
Typically, console 4 and a plurality of other similar consoles having a respective control stations are located within a common checkout zone, and signal 9 is only audible in the control station to which it relates.
The total dimensions of zone 8 differ between embodiments. In the embodiment of
Consumer 20 presents to operator 10 a consumer item 14 having a barcode 15, and operator 10 passes item 14 through a scanning zone defined by a bi-optic scanner 12 to read barcode 15. In other embodiments alternate identification techniques are used, such as RFID tagging or other types of barcode scanner. For example: an RFID reader replaces scanner 12, and a RFID tag replaces barcode 15. Item 14 is moved through an interrogation zone defined by the RFID reader for the identification purposes.
The precise definition of console 4 is dependant on the functionality of device 1. For example, in some embodiments device 1 provides feedback solely in relation to scanner 12. In such cases scanner 12 solely defines console 4. That is, console 4 is a bi-optic scanner. In other embodiments console 4 is defined by scanner 12 in communication with a CPU 13.
In some embodiments interface 2 is integrated into scanner 12 or CPU 13. In such cases, signal 3 and signal 6 are often the same. That is, console 4 is inherently adapted for operation with device 1. The present embodiment is directed towards an example where console 4 is pre-existing and subsequently adapted for integration with device 1. For example, console 4 makes use of a standard audio speaker, and communication wires typically providing a signal to that speaker are instead connected to interface 2.
It will be appreciated that generic descriptions of retail checkout systems are provided herein for the purposes of illustration only. Other such systems are used in alternate embodiments. That is, the disclosed systems should not be regarded as limiting in any way. For example, in some embodiments barcode 15 inherently carries pricing information. This is particularly appropriate where 2D barcodes are used, and it will be appreciated that these require suitably adapted scanning equipment. Disclosure of generic systems is provided to illustrate exemplary interactions between device 1 and these systems.
In embodiments where console 4 is defined by scanner 12, signal 3 is indicative of barcode 15 being read, and signal 9 is an audible tone indicating such a result. For example, each time a barcode 15 is read by scanner 12, a �beep� is produced in zone 8 by transducer 7. By advantageous selection of zone 8, this beep is heard exclusively by operator 10. If operator 10 passes item 14 past scanner 12 and a beep is not heard, the operator knows with relative certainty that scanning was not successful. In known checkout zones operators are able to hear such beeps from nearby scanners, and often inadvertently believe an item was scanned correctly when indeed it was not. Using device 1, operator 10 is knows with greater certainty that any beep heard is caused by the scanner 12 that he or she is operating.
In embodiments where scanner 12 and CPU 13 collectively define console 4, some additional steps are typically taken to ensure that barcode 15 is not only correctly read, but that the reading produces an acceptable result in a practical sense. This is schematically illustrated in
In the case of approval, packet 18 is obtained for the purposes of raising an invoice for the sale of item 14. In a simple case, item 14 is moved past scanner 12, and CPU 13 adds the predetermined retail price of item 14 to an invoice.
There are three distinct possible outcomes of passing item 14 through the scanning zone of scanner 12:
It will be appreciated that in some implementations there are other possible outcomes. The three above are selected for the purpose of convenient illustration. In embodiments where scanner 12 solely defines console 4, only outcomes A and B are considered, noting that there is no concept of approval or rejection in such cases. How the teachings below are applied to such cases should be apparent.
Signal 3 is indicative of whether outcome B or C is realized. In the present embodiment the signal is provided by CPU 13, however in other embodiments an alternate component of console 14 provides the signal. For example: an integrated scanner.
For the sake of the present example, signal 9 is in the form of a tone identifying whether outcome B or C is realized. For the sake of example, a signal 9 is a �single beep� in the case of outcome B, and a �double beep� in the case of outcome C. It will be appreciated that signal 9 is not produced for outcome A. In practice, operator 10 moves item 14 past scanner 12 in an attempt to scan. Operator 10 is automatically and substantially immediately informed via signal 9 whether this attempted scanning was successful. In particular:
Whilst known prior art systems implement similar tone usages, the sound typically carries between consoles and is audible to multiple operators. This is known to cause confusion to operators (for example where an item is not read, and an operator inadvertently recognizes a tome from another console as indicating that the unread item had been read), and render supermarket checkout zones noisy and potentially irritating to customers. It will be appreciated that limiting the audibility of signal 9 to the respective zone 8 of the relevant device 1 substantially ameliorates such problems.
Other tone selections are implemented in other embodiments. The described embodiments use one or more simple beeps only to reduce the burden on transducer 7 and advantageously allow for a smaller and cheaper transducer to be used. Some known transducers are able to create clear crisp and complex sounds, however such applications are often demanding and require large expensive components. The present embodiment makes use of a relatively rudimentary and cut-down version of hypersonic sound technology where only a simple tone is required, and clarity is a minor concern. Indeed, provided audible tones are able to be conveyed without delay, other abilities are somewhat superfluous.
In other embodiments transducer 7 provides a more complex signal 9. For example, detailed instructions are provided from CPU 13 to operator 10. In some cases, where there are further possible outcomes�such as defined sub-categories of outcome C�detailed information regarding an experienced outcome is provided. One possibility is �the barcode read is not in an acceptable form�, which indicates that a barcode was incorrectly read, or that a secondary barcode designed for other purposes was inadvertently read. Another possibility is �the barcode read does not match a known product�, which indicates that, although barcode 15 is in an acceptable form, database 17 does not include a packet 18 for the packet 16 obtained by scanner 12 from barcode 15.
In some cases, device 1 is integrated with an intercom system. As such, an external party is able to personally address a selected operator 10 personally and individually, and consumers or other operators do not hear the address. This is useful in providing information to operators, such as �be informed that your lane will be closing in five minutes�, �be informed that your lunch-break will be at 2 PM�, or �the customer you are serving is suspected of shoplifting�. Alternately, pre-requested pricing information is provided in relation to validation errors previously reported. The overall effect is that operator 10 is not incapacitated whilst being provided with information, and consumer 20 is not troubled�or indeed bombarded�with information that is not directly relevant for their purposes.
In some embodiments transducer 7 is manipulated to vary the location and/or size of zone 8. In some cases this is used to communicate information to a consumer. This information includes payment requests, advertising, and so on. It will be appreciated that such an approach is at times used to overcome language barriers that exist between an operator 10 and a consumer.
Insofar as advertising is concerned, in some cases a particular advertisement is selected on the basis of an item scanned. For example, the consumer is informed �thank you purchasing product X, be sure to SMS your product ID code to location Y for the chance to win prize Z�. For such purposes, it is typically necessary to have an advertising transducer separate form the transducer 7, given that transducer 7 is continuously used for the benefit of operator 10. In such a case, signal 3 is indicative of packet 16, and processor 5 selectively designates an ultrasonic transmission indicative of appropriate advertising to be propagated by the advertising transducer. The process is somewhat similar to that shown in
It will be appreciated that the above teachings are optimally implemented to provide a comparatively quiet supermarket checkout zone. This is advantageous to operators and consumers alike.
Although the present invention has been described with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, variations and modifications of the present invention can be effected within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Since upgrading to 10.3 we had difficulty viewing the photographs of some students in eportal whilst others displayed fine. A check of security rights showed that all images had the same security settings and the Settings.xml file was checked and correct.
After some indepth diagnostics we discovered that student photographs with an upper case extension [.JPG] failed to display whilst others with [.jpg] displayed as normal. Renaming all of the files to a common lower case extension resolved the issue.
Work around / fix:-

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the post. This should always of been the case as far as i know, i know i've come across this as many as 4 years ago.
Another way of resolving it is
cd facility\eportal\webapps\eportal\images\stuphotos
rename *.jpg *.JPG
or the other way around as appropriate.
Also, you've got one too many eportal's in your path - please check that's a typo on here and your install isn't actually like that or you'll have problems.
It's always good to see people being proactive in solving any problems.
Also, it's worth me mentioning, it will use whatever you specify in settings .xml - if it's in there in upper case, it will use upper, in there in lower case, it will use lower.
Mic @ Serco
Thanks Mic for your reply.
Although it always was the case I had all the photos visible in 10.2 but not in 10.3 until they were renamed.
Strange, but it may prove useful to someone.

By Kevin Unitt 18/04 Updated: 24/04 14:51
THIEVES have caused extensive damage to a Leamington school after stealing lead from its roof.
They struck at some point over the Easter holidays at Clapham Terrace Primary School, and the recent rain has caused water to pour down into several classrooms, kitchens and a computer suite.
The damage is so serious that fears over safety forced the school to shut for the day on Tuesday (April 17).
Headteacher Jason Henderson told the Observer: "We are a Victorian school and the guttering on the pitched roofing is lined with lead.
"This was all stolen from the back section of the school by trespassers on to the site.
"We have no CCTV and the caretaker doesn't live on site so we don't know exactly when they struck, but the first we knew of it was when water started to leak in.
"We have re-opened now, after deciding to close on Tuesday, but we will be teaching children only in the unaffected areas while repairs are carried out.
"I understand that police have actually recovered the lead which was stolen but it cannot be put back on due to the shape it is in."
Mr Henderson added he was in contact with education chiefs at Warwickshire County Council over repair works - the cost of which has yet to be assessed - and was also discussing possible security measures to prevent any further thefts from the site.
The Observer was first alerted to the damage by a pupil at the school, Ajay Bawa, who said it was "shocking".
He added: "The whole school is disappointed at this. I think these crooks should be stopped before they do more damage to our school or another building."
Police have been approached for comment but not replied.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Jan. 9, 1951 R. H. HUNTER ET AL FILTER UNIT Filed Nov. 5, 1948 50F) CELLULOjE STOCK CR E PELD CELLULOSE STOCK INVENTORS ROBERT H. HUNTER EBMER J. KASPER.
Patented Jan. 9, 1951 FILTER UNIT Robert H. Hunter, Gate Mills, and Elmer J. Kasper, Highlands Height signor to said Hunter 5, Ohio; said Kasper as- Application November 5, 1948, Serial No. 58,382
I, 4 Claims. 1
This invention relates to a filter unit or filler element of the replaceable cartridge type and which uses the filtration principles taught by the application of Robert H. Hunter, Serial No. 759,727 filed July 9, 1947. That application shows concentric primary and secondary filtration bodies of laminated (roll-formed) foraminous sheet stock, the primary body intimately enveloping the secondary body and being provided with raw filtrate introduction manifolds or chambers in the form of holes piercing the sheets of the primary body. The holes enabled introduction of the raw filtrate for dispersion between and over large areas of mutually adjacent primary body sheet stock portions throughout said primary body. The free edges of the sheet stock of the secondary body are sealed against egress of filtrate from between the sheet margins, forcing the filtrate which penetrates the generally imperforate portions of the .primary body to pass successively through and only through the secondary body sheets.
It was found expensive to perforate the sheet stock in order to expose cut edges of the various plies of stock; and the present invention primarily aims to reduce that expense in a filter unit operatin essentially as described above and as claimed in said application. Other objectives will become apparent from the following description.
The drawing shows one form of the filter unit or filler cartridge hereof partly in central section and partly in side elevation.
The primary filter body, as illustrated, is the outer annular portion P of the roll I of foraminous stock which is or can be exactly the same as described in said application. The inner annular portion S is the secondary filter body. The stock is preferably alternate layers of soft and creped cellulose sheets wound continuously as double ply toilet paper would be formed into a roll. The soft cellulose stock is recommended principally for water absorption, hence the creped stock (preferably) is wet strengthened as described in said application. The creping treatment of that layer assures the presence of a multiplicity of freely intercommunicating channels (which are large as compared to the microscopic interstices through the stock sheets), although the sheet strips composing the roll are tightly wound. The plies of the secondary filter body are preferably more tightly wound or compacted than the primary body plies. The plies of the primary filter body P can difier materially from those of the secondary body S or the same stock can be used throughout the roll as when wound from continuous strips.
The sheet stock envelops a central substantially rigid tube 2 having perforations 3 to serve (in the illustrated form) as outlets for the cleansed filtrate. End caps or walls of identical shell construction are shown at 4. The caps are preferably sheet metal suitably joined to the tube 2 or to an outer scuff shell or cover 5 of imperforate metal or tough paper. The radially outward portion 6 of each cap may be flanged at l to telescope the scuff shell. Said portions 6 are stepped outwardly from the inner annular portions 8 as by the shoulders 9 and perforated at [0 to provide inlet openings leading to filtrate introduction and distribution chambers II. The chambers ll through the perforations l0 and suitable enveloping housling construction, not shown, are supplied simultaneously with filtrate at equal pressure. Such housing, as usual, has at least one outlet sealed around an associated end of the tube 2 to conduct cleansed filtrate from the cartridge.
The marginal edges of the foraminous plies of v the secondary body portion S are suitably sealed at both ends of the roll. Sealing material (not shown) may be applied to the end surfaces of the roll which registers with portions 8 and said portions serve to maintain pressure on the sealing material.
Flow barrier ribs I: on the caps indent the material of the roll further to prevent egress of filtrate from the secondary filter body edgewise of the sheet stock.
The arrangement shown may obviously be reversed if it is desired to have the indicated flow paths reversed, as from inside to outside of the filter body roll I. Operation of the illustrated arrangement is as follows:
Equal pressure maintained in the two chambers It causes the raw filtrateto penetrate the primary filter body P deeply between its sheets. The dirt and other foreign matter, including water in case the filtrate is engine oil, can thus largely be entrained or absorbed by the sheets in the relatively wide interstitial spaces afforded by the rolled construction and over remarkably wide areas (15,000 to 20,000 square inches in average size filter cartridges). The finer particles are picked up partly by adsorption as the filtrate is forced to pass through the sheet stock toward the secondary body S. For convenience the edgewise (parallel to sheet stock) filtration treatment which is largely a coarse straining operation can be considered the primary filtration stage, all
of which is accomplished in the primary annular body P. Through-sheet or secondary flltration stage treatment is accomplished both in the primary body P and secondary body S, but in the latter body substantially only the secondary treatment takes place. The filtrate must pass successively through all the sheet turns of the secondary body and cannot by-pass any of the layers thereof.
We claim:
1. A filter unit of canister or cartridge type comprising a tubular casing with annular end walls containing between its radially inner and outer walls and parallel therewith, concentrically laminated foraminous sheet stock including a primary filtration annular portion and substantially concentric secondary filtration annular portion, means for sealing the end margins of the sheets of the secondary annular portion against egress of filtrate therefrom between the sheets, means associated with one of the end walls for introducing raw filtrate to and between the edge margins of the primary filtration sheets for dispersal over large areas of the primary sheets, and means associated with the same end wall for blocking egress of such introduced filtrate from between the primary filtration sheets except through the same toward the secondary filtration portion.
2. A filter cartridge comprising inner and outer concentric tubular walls, one of perforate construction, primary and secondary annular bodies of intimately laminated foraminous sheet stock, one body intimately enveloping the other and the second body lying adjacent the perforated wall, end walls for the cartridge connecting the concentric walls, means associated with the end walls for sealing the adjacent marginal edges of the sheet stock of the secondary body against egress of filtrate from the secondary body between said margins, the end wall portions axially opposite the primary body being of perforate construction for simultaneous introduction of raw filtrate to the end margins of the sheet stock of the primary body at both its ends for dispersal of the raw filtrate between the layers of the primary body generally in opposite directions from each end of said body.
3. The filter cartridge according to claim 2 wherein the inner tubular wall is perforate and the end walls have annular perforate portions in axial alignment with the primary body and spaced therefrom to provide annular distribution chambers.
4. The filter cartridge according to claim 2 wherein the end walls are substantially rigid shells each with annular relatively stepped concentric portions, one portion lying directly adjacent the secondary body sheet stock substantially to seal the sheet edges and the other in spaced relation to the primary body stock to provide raw filtrate introduction chambers.

Jami Miller did not take care of her skin. As a youth, she struggled with acne and spent her summers basting in baby oil as she scooped up UV rays with sun reflectors. The resulting scars and sun damage inspired her to pursue a career in aesthetics and eventually open her own spa, North Texas Clinical Skin Care. There, Jami and her team specialize in advanced anti-aging treatments, using nonsurgical skin tightening and LED therapy to counteract the abuse that results from exposure to the sun or insult comics with degrees in dermatology. Locally produced SkinBorn products power the clinic's specialty facials with cosmeceutical, paraben-free formulations that interact with skin on a cellular level.
During any course of treatment, clients can document their skin's progress with the spa's imaging system. Cameras magnify skin 800 times, and freeze-frame technology captures images of the skin, which the clinic then catalogs so clients can follow their improvement or finally prove that their nose is constantly rotating.
The staff members at European Image take a three-pronged approach to perfecting skin. First, they match clients with the right skincare regimen to use at home, using products rich in nutrients, vitamins, and fruit enzymes. Then, they consider what professional treatments would benefit skin, choosing from the spa's robust array of services such as hot-towel facials, eye-brightening treatments, peels, and rejuvenating hand treatments. When skin finally looks as smooth and balanced as a beach ball resting on a seal's nose, the staff can prescribe a monthly course of treatments to maintain the results. The aestheticians at European Image can also enhance clients' appearances with waxing, makeup applications, eyelash extensions, and eyelash tabbing, a pared-down version of eyelash extensions that are peppered throughout the client's natural lash line to make it appear lusher and fuller for four days.
Who says you have to choose between style and substance? At Image Nation Salons and Medspa, the team focuses on hair and skin treatments but also offers med-spa treatments for healing or more dramatic cosmetic changes. Offering more than simple cuts, the stylists tame hair with color, texturization, and reverse psychology. Facial treatments range from deep pore cleansing for acne to a gel peel designed to minimize fine lines. In the medspa corner, high-tech services include dermal fillers and vein-minimizing sclerotherapy in addition to soothing services like reflexology, Swedish massage, and detoxifying herbal wraps.
At Celebrity Beauty Waxing, aesthetician Courtney Berry uses her unique—and strip-free—waxing technique to gently and swiftly remove hair from nearly ever part of the body. She transforms stubbly below-the-belt areas into silky smooth terrains with bikini, Brazilian, and buttocks waxing, and keep gams smooth with treatments for the lower or full legs. Further north, Courtney masterfully shapes brows into flattering arches or intimidating triangles, and eliminates peach fuzz from upper lips. Aside from waxing, the aesthetician combats breakouts and aging with three types of facials.
At Total Med Solutions, medical director Dr. Stockton Roberts and company offer a wealth of beautifying solutions to both men and women. Noninvasive laser services reduce fat and blemishes, and hormone therapy helps to balance bodies without forcing them into an apprenticeship as a seesaw. During facials and skin treatments, Ole Henriksen products restore complexions with African red tea and extracts from walnuts, black currants, and antioxidant-rich blueberries.
Beauty Store & Salon plethora of professional-grade hair, nail, skincare, and cosmetic products give you plenty of ways to glow like a flattered firefly on its honeymoon. A vial of OPI nail polish ($8.50) will gloss your finger helmets while a bottle of Moroccan oil treatment ($40.79) will tame your tresses until they're sleeker and shinier than a glazed otter. Gird your face for atmospheric re-entry with a generous coat of Jane Iredale matte pressed base ($49.50). Beauty Store also carries Thymes brand bath and body products and TRAPP candles ($3.50–$25).

NCIS Review: On High Alertby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Even run-of-the-mill NCIS installments rarely disappoint, but how good are these end-of-season multi-episode arcs? It seems like every year around late April or early May, the intensity is kicked up several notches.
Tonight was no exception. With two more episodes remaining in season nine, "Playing With Fire" was essentially the second chapter of a four-part NCIS mini-series ... possibly even longer than that.
Knowing Gary Glasberg, Shane Brennan & Co., this will no doubt stretch into the fall in some form. The way it's going after last week's "Rekindled" and now this evening, I doubt there will be many complaints.
It's been a team effort from the start in a case that brings the agency's military roots to the forefront. We all enjoy NCIS for the characters, but remains a Navy show, and it raises the stakes when this is highlighted.
Because of the nature of the deepening mystery, the episode was light on action for most of the hour, but the compelling, perfectly-paced story more than made up for it. When the show commits itself to continuity over multiple weeks like this, the stories are less rushed and often feel more organic.
It was, pardon the expression, another slow burner, and a good one at that.
Much of the episode was spent on the obvious - connecting the Baltimore arson with the fire marshal's demise and the explosion on the U.S.S. Brewer. Once that link was established, it was on to the next target.
Tony and Ziva, at their bantering best, were dispatched to Naples with Stan Burley and tasked with catching the perpetrator in the act of trying to blow up a nuclear-armed aircraft carrier. No pressure.
Their European mission led to some fun exchanges, as did Ziva's ill-fated pilates weekend and Tony's rabid curiosity in general. Obviously, Tony's a little obsessed with her, but he's more obsessed with gossip.
The two of them, along with McGee, offered consistent comic relief and character insight, but never - and this can be a difficult line to walk - to the point where it overshadowed any of the crime solving.
The night's second most intense moment had to be aboard the Benjamin Franklin, when Burley took a flying knife to the shoulder. Fortunately, he'll come out of this fine, thanks to the aircraft carrier's two new "enlistees."
DiNozzo's jealous, overgrown frat boy ways and sarcasm serve as his calling card, but he always comes through. He and Ziva make a great team, even if it irked him that she "outranked" him as a faux Naval officer.
The most intense scene came when Gibbs had the would-be arsonist thinking he was en route to Guantanamo Bay thanks to the Patriot Act. Not a bluff you want to call. Amid Gibbs' threat, he gave up his boss.
Or gave up what little he - or anyone - knows of the reclusive investor anyway.
We now have a name and a face behind these acts of terrorism, but it was not a North Korean despot or a man anyone has seen in person in the past year. It's Harper Deering (The West Wing's Richard Schiff).
Beyond apparently bankrolling the attacks, Deering's role remains unclear. Schiff is set to appear next week, so we'll likely get a greater idea then of whether he's the mastermind, or just the international go-between.
The Korean code was (relatively) easily deciphered, but his motive is another story. This is a new kind of villain, one with all the right connections, potentially dangerous information and considerable financial wherewithal.
Did anyone not feel their pulse quicken when the entire room stood ramrod straight as Gibbs posted Deering's picture over that of Osama bin Laden - killed one year ago tomorrow (May 2, 2011) - on the Most Wanted List?
That moment left no doubts as to the agency's solidarity, or the seriousness of the task at hand. Great to see Gibbs rally the troops, so to speak, for the battle ahead. Next week can't come fast enough.
Somewhat removed from the terrorist plot, but still connected indirectly, especially near the end, was Ducky. Naming Jethro executor of his estate was a touching gesture, as was his charitable bequest.
Seeing the slain officer Ramsey's children made the doctor's decision easy regarding where to leave the bulk of the money he'll never live long enough to spend - the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund.
Classy move to plug that organization via a beloved character like Ducky, who first revealed his surprising wealth at Gibbs' house. You know anytime there's a scene there, some secret's going to come out.
As for the time when Dr. Mallard passes away, don't look for that to be a given that future plot line, thankfully, as David McCallum signed a two-year contract extension with CBS this week. He's going strong at 78!
A few random thoughts and stray observations before turning it over to you:
- You have to love the resurfacing of Stan (and Ziva's bikini photos), YEARS later.
- Next week is Palmer's bachelor party. Thoughts on what Abby will (or should) plan?
- His absence was explained, but it feels like Vance should be involved, doesn't it?
- Also absent, but getting a brief mention, was Jason King (Gaius Charles).
- Crackers and apples, people. Remember that.

A great show all the characters involved, it was interesting, investigive and kept you on the edge of your seat. Playing with fire was great show. And JLC was not there, so made it into a naval crime drama rather than a soap opera
They make more then our teacher do they make more then I do hell most of them own 5 or 6 house
The nosey Tony stuff was all very much in character for DiNozzo. Everything that he was teasing Ziva about in this episode he also did to Kate.
The bikini picture blackmail threat - Kate's wet T-shirt pic and the subsequent blackmail.
Going crazy wondering where Ziva was going for the weekend - going crazy wondering where Kate and Abby were going for the weekend.
Not prrof of love or obssession, just in character writing for a change, or the writers are running out of new ideas so they are recycling old ones. I believe they are finally using the writers that actually know the show and the characters.
Another great show! Where have the writers been all year? Hopefully, this means next season's NCIS will be back on track with its plots. I think Ducky is just feeling mortal. His mother just died. She and his predecessor (ME) both had dementia. Since dementia can run in a family, I imagine he is simply getting his life in order. Actually, he is late in writing a Will. I think the Will business was just written in as a plug for the organizations mentioned, which was thoughtful of the writers. David (Ducky) just signed a 2 year contract with NCIS.
They said in the previews for next week that someone dies. It will probably be Richard Schiff's character, but I can't help but hope it's JLC. And that whole thing with Duckie and his will is too suspicious. Did the writers make up that whole story just so they can plug the Marine Corp Educational support thing?
Michael, I can always count on you to say something stupid. The children of Marines who risk their lives for us and our country don't deserve to go to college? Do you know how little our military personnel make? Congrats to the show for plugging that charity. And Michael, please please I ask you once again to either proof read what you have written or just don't write anything at all!
Why didn't Ducky help out the hardworking americans with his money like those of us who have to pay with our own money for college a lot of people don't know these but its harder for us normal people to go to college too and we get no help what so ever
The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is another charity to which viewers might consider contributing.
Ziva's bikini babe pictures (taken during the Judgment Day episode) were posted on Tony's bulletin board when he was an Agent Afloat (early in the following season). I think his posting those pictures was an implicit admission that Ziva meant a lot more to him than he was willing to admit.
a good solid episode loved the way tony and ziva interacted with each other and of course tony being tony wanted to know where the girls where going.

WPP's Martin Sorrell will be joining leaders from Brave, Contagious and Facebook at this year's Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) event in London.
Martin Sorrell joins IAB Engage 2014 line-up
This year, IAB Engage will mark the organisation's 10th anniversary by recapping a decade of digital developments, whilst exploring the new world of native, wearables and the Internet Of Things.
Engage 2014 takes place on 15th October at London's Barbican, and will demonstrate how, with today's pace of accelerating change, in reality, "We've only just begun".
The event, which sits at the heart of a week-long initiative called IAB UK Digital Upfronts, is sponsored by Exponential and supported by Brand Republic Group's Media Week, Marketing and Campaign.
The event promises to be the biggest Engage yet with more than 900 delegates expected to hear presentations from: Ash Bendelow, managing director of Brave; David Shing, digital prophet at AOL; Kathleen Saxton, founder and chief executive of The Lighthouse Company; Nicolas Roope, founder and executive creative director, Poke; Alex Jenkins, editor Contagious; Steve Hatch, regional director, Facebook and Sir Martin Sorrell, founder and chief executive of WPP.
2014 is also the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web and the 20th anniversary of the banner ad and IAB Engage 2014 will aim to showcase the most exciting, future facing opportunities for marketers in digital advertising.
Guy Phillipson, chief executive of the IAB, said: "Over the past 10 years, digital advertising has grown from a small player in the media mix to a sector accounting for 35% of total UK advertising, and it's still growing. This year's Engage promises to be a true celebration of the medium, where it's been and where it's going. It's one not to be missed."
Arif Durrani, editor of Brand Republic's Media Week, said: "We're delighted to once again be the media partner for the defining event of the digital year. In many ways, the growth of the IAB and all that sail in her has been the story of our time, and this year promises to be yet another agenda-setting occasion."
