Description (OCR text may contain errors)
UNITED' rains ATIENT rrion.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 691,131, dated January 14, 1902.
Application filed July 16,1901.
T0 [LZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMAN T. GAY, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved toy which being applied to the lips and blown through produces aharsh sound and one which resembles the bark of a dog. In the description of the said invention which follows reference is made to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in WhiCh- Figure 1 is an exterior side view of the improved toy. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Figs 3 and 4t are reverse edge views of the toy. Fig. 5 is a flat view of the blank from which the metallic portion of the toy is formed.
Referring now to the drawings, 1 and 2 are plates which stand apart a proper distance and are united by the connecting-pieces 3 to form a casing. Each plate has two ears 4, which project from its edge and are bent inward to form supports for the stretched rubher band 5. The two sections of the endless stretched rubber band stand away from the inner surface of the plates 1 and 2 and are Serial No. 68,466. (No model.)
separated one from the other in order that the band may vibrate freely when the device is in use.
In order to effect the construction described, the blank 6, from which the casing of the toy is formed, is provided with the central rectangular opening 7 and the rudimentary ears 4, which in the construction of the toy are bent, as before described.
To operate the toy, either edge thereof is applied to the lips and the device blown through, the breath causing the two sections of the stretched rubber band to vibrate and produce a harsh sound, which may be varied in intensity as desired.
I claim as my invention- In a toy of the character described, a casing formed of two plates which stand apart and are united by connecting-pieces, each plate having inturned ears which stand away from the p1ates,combined with a rubber band which is stretched over the four ears of the device, substantially as,and for the purpose specified.

Back when I was studying the psychology of deceiving and getting deceived, my colleagues and I did some research in which we asked people to tell us, in detail, about the most serious lie they ever told to anyone and the most serious lie anyone ever told them. (You can read some of their stories here.) It will not surprise you that more serious lies were about affairs than anything else. There was a certain theme I found intriguing in the stories of the people whose partners were cheating on them - they suggested that once they became certain that their partner was cheating, all sorts of things seemed to fall into place. It was as if they "knew it all along," but had not let themselves acknowledge what was going on until they had to.
There was no way to know from that study alone what was actually happening. Did they just tell themselves that they knew it all along so they would not feel like complete and total dupes? Or at some level, did they really know?
People in close romantic relationships often believe that they know better than anyone else when their partner is lying. Sometimes they can even describe to you what they believe to be the tell-tale clues. But thinking that you can tell doesn't mean that you can tell. (In fact, in a review my colleagues and I did of all of the available studies of accuracy and confidence, we found that people who were confident about their judgments of deceptiveness were no more or less likely to be correct in their judgments than people who were not confident.)

CC Sabathia shakes off postseason slump with big outing
Oct 8, 2012, 12:18 AM EST
CC Sabathia managed to avoid taking any losses during the Yankees' all too brief postseason runs in 2010 and 2011, but he couldn't sidestep the criticism The game's highest-paid pitcher, he was far from an ace in amassing a 5.84 ERA in 24 2/3 innings the last two Octobers.
Sabathia's 2012 postseason got off to a much better start Sunday, as he limited the Orioles to two runs in 8 2/3 innings to pick up a win in Game 1 of the ALDS. It was the first time since the 2009 World Series that Sabathia completed seven innings in a postseason start.
Sabathia was stellar when the Yankees won the World Series in his first year with the team, going 3-1 with a 1.98 ERA in five starts. Still, Yankee fans have short memories, and his more recent outings in series losses to the Rangers and Tigers left them cold. He gave up six runs and walked eight in 8 2/3 innings in last year's ALDS defeat.
For his career, Sabathia is now 8-4 in the postseason, albeit with a mediocre 4.60 ERA. He came within one out tonight of what would have been his first postseason complete game in 16 tries.

Great start for the Yankees!!!!
- mybrunoblog - Oct 8, 2012 at 12:35 AM
I think we all make too much of what a player or team has done in the past. Each pitch, at bat, game is a different seperate event. I understand that we base most if our opinions on what a guy has done in the past but baseball history is littered with things happening exactly opposite of the way we thought they would.
CC was huge tonight (pun intended).
- papichulo55 - Oct 8, 2012 at 12:50 AM
Wasn't easy, and will not be easy. Amazin how Showalter has changed that team. For years, the Yankees would beat the Orioles before the first pitch. Total psych-out feeling, like Spinks looking at Tyson before the bell. Now, the Orioles are lookin the Yankees straight in the eyes. This is good baseball!
- bigharold - Oct 8, 2012 at 3:09 AM
As a Yankee fan I would agree on one thing, .. "This is good baseball!"
It was good baseball in August and September too when the O's were breathing down the Yankees neck. And, .. if the Yankees eventually win the WS,.. the O's dogged pursuit of them in August and September will likely be credited with steeling the Yankees to the task at hand.
This series isn't over. The O's are a talented team lead by an excellent manager. Unless and until the Yankees win the third game it's still a dog fight.

You wrote: "Now, the Orioles are lookin the Yankees straight in the eyes." Apparently the gesture is meaningless; the Yankees are still beating the O's like a drum. This is old baseball news.

Showalter was also handily out-managed tonight. Our bullpen is at full strength…..good job Joe!
- bigharold - Oct 8, 2012 at 3:16 AM
"Showalter was also handily out-managed tonight."
Bull Shit. Showalter managed to get the game to his closer, .. which is what good managers do. The Yankees just hit him hard.
Any manager can make the call, .. but the player must execute.
- protius - Oct 8, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Harold, you are begging the question. You're assuming that Ken is referring to Showalter getting the game to the closer, when in fact, Ken does not state specifically how Girardi out-managed the Orioles' skipper.

Hi there, my name is Alison Harrison nee Broadhurst. I was married to Alwyn George Matthews born 12/01/1962 in Tylerstown, Rhondda, Wales, however, we are now divorced and we both have remarried. I am not researching this line, but as a member requested info, i have decided to put in what i know of, as this may help other members. Alwyn's father is Albert George Matthews born 08/01/1939, Tylerstown, Rhondda, Wales. His father i knew as Lawrence Matthews born in Rhondda, he married twice, i think his first wife went by the name of Miriam Elwell, but she deserted the family when the children were young. When i knew Lawrence which was between 1981 and 1987 which was the year Lawrence died i think, he was living in Bridgend. Children were, William, then two children died early, no names given, Lawrence, Albert, Sylvia, Thomas, Jimmy, and twins Graham and Jessy. Graham was killed in a car crash with his wife, leaving two young children. Albert married Valerie Maud Philips 03 September 1960. Valerie's birth was 18 Feb, 1942 Ferndale, Rhondda, Wales. They had 3 children, Tanya 05 Feb 1961, Alwyn 12 Jan 1962, and Robert 29? Jan 1963. They moved to Staffordshire in 1972. Sadly Valerie Died end of June this year. (2004) Valerie's father went by the name of William George Phillips, born 1895. Died 07/06/1943. Known to suffer from Epilepsy. He married Elizabeth Jane Lewis born 12/12/1901. She died 24/12/1993 in Tylerstown. They had 11 children. William, Bronwen, Kathryn, Evan, Mary, Margery, Mirriam, June, Maureen aka Molly, Alwyn, and Valerie. I do know that Mary, June, Molly, and Alwyn are still living, and all except June who resides in America are still living in Wales. Evan died as a young lad. Unsure of others. Hope all are enjoying your xmas, happy new year and good hunting. Alison Harrison nee Broadhurst.

Although this will likely not amount to much, it's a fun little diversion to the otherwise mindless news cycle that accompanies superhero films. Sony Pictures and Marc Webb are set to release their re-do of Spidey this summer with The Amazing Spider-Man and new info has popped up on a more-than-qualified writer who had his hand in the screenplay. [Vulture]
It's nothing new on the blockbuster front to have big names do some uncredited touch-ups. The latest is Bridesmaids director Paul Feig, who helped his friend Webb on a few of the high school scenes between Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy, reportedly a major element in this reboot. Check out Feig's quote while at the Take This Waltz Tribeca premiere last night"
"I'm looking forward to The Amazing Spider-Man. [Webb] is a great guy, he invited me on set, and I did a little bit of writing for that movie, for one of the high school scenes, so I'm excited."
The Freaks & Geeks creator is a welcome helping hand for the high school setting he has mastered, but it's presumptuous to assume we'll glean any of his influence on a 2+ hour final product. The Amazing Spider-Man, also starring Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field and Denis Leary opens everywhere on July 3, 2012.
I'm not sure I'd think much about diving into the work of Les Blank if only given a plot synopsis. His films, including a plethora now available in a stunningly thorough Criterion set, take on the esoteric sides of America, from bluegrass musicians to the wonders of polka to the taste of Creole cooking. These […]

Instapaper update introduces automatic background updating
The latest Instapaper update contains a pretty nifty new feature: the ability to update automatically in the background; the app uses geofencing to turn updates on and off.
The Instapaper blog describes how the app will download articles whenever you enter a pre-set location, such as your home or work. You can add up to 10 locations using this feature.
Developer Marco Arment gives credit to News.me, which was first released in April 2011, for introducing the feature.
Arment reassures users that location data is only stored within the app and not shared with anyone. Arment also said there is no noticeable drain on battery life.
Instapaper also now has an Android version of the app, introduced today at a lower price point than the iOS app.

I have to agree with the PP. Since it is so early and you are very upset, not to mention the added hormones, it might be good to just put him out of your head for a while. If you are considering
|Tue, 09-08-2009 - 10:51am
UMM, jeez I thought you were gonna say the FOB WAS your brother! whew, glad that's not the case!
OK all terrible jokes aside.......
1. You DO need to figure out what YOU want! For you, by you, only you can make that choice!
2. Fair weather friends fly the coop in a storm, just think on that one. It'll come to you!
3. IF you didn't "whatever" he seems to THINK you may have done to "dupe" him into to this SAY IT! If for no other reason then to get it into the air! BLEEP happens, yes, as I'm sure he knows but there are conniving women as well! one of the possible "fob's" of my daughter didn't talk to me for 6 MONTHS, it took him some time to get over it! He didn't "Ask" that BIG question til she was 8 months OLD! It can take some guys a LONG time to come around.
4. You cannot change or save this guy from himself. The baby won't either. Yeah I'm repeating it but in the end YOU will most likely be the one with the baby ALONE!
5. The single Mom's board is a GREAT place for you! MY sister had a "GEM" of a guy that totally LEFT after the 2nd baby! REALLY! (Long story, religion plays a roll but still, jeez) And she's happier for it. Broke yes but she got LOTS of help from family & friends. She'd not trade her kids for anything, except maybe for him to have left sooner, lol!
hugs, you story is NOT horrible unless you make it that way! Sounds pretty normal so far! hugs again!

Matches: India v England at Dharamsala
Series/Tournaments: England tour of India
Big PictureThe cold and tranquil surroundings of the hill resort of Dharamsala are set to be abuzz with the clamour of international cricket. The curious choice of the newest entrant on the international cricketing map in peak winter has generated considerable interest, but snow is unlikely to make an appearance. The series having been decided in Mohali, it's not surprising that cricket talk has taken a backseat with players taking time out for sightseeing. However, the peaks around the picturesque valley stand tall as a constant reminder of heights the two teams haven't been able to scale with their cricket.
India have had a topsy-turvy time in the last three months, but the win has come as respite from the losses they endured in the Test series and the ODIs against Pakistan. While they have at least a semblance of answers to questions pertaining to the middle order, bowling, fielding and, to some extent, Rohit Sharma's role, others - Ajinkya Rahane and Gautam Gambhir, for example - remain unanswered. A win here at least would keep the detractors relatively quiet for now.
England, who played so well in the Tests, are a shadow of themselves. They have a young side, but it is the experienced among them who have failed to inspire. Players like Ian Bell and Eoin Morgan haven't done much of note. But they have had positives too - Steven Finn has enhanced his reputation while Joe Root has impressed with his composure. The team is headed to New Zealand from here and as they play the T20s and ODIs first up, they need more positives from this tour.
Form guideIndia WWWLW (Most recent first)
In the spotlightHe waited and waited for his chance in Tests, but when he got one, he made it count. An agonising wait for an ODI debut has continued though for Cheteshwar Pujara. Speculations that he would walk into the XI once he became part of the squad were quashed immediately by the India captain. With the series in the bag, will India give him a chance?
Alastair Cook has been as efficient as ever and has two half-centuries in the series. But three times he has been out lbw, two times to deliveries pitching outside leg. While he will continue to be the main man behind England laying the foundation for a big total, he will hope the umpires allow him a full run.
Team newsChris Woakes, who has replaced Tim Bresnan in England's squad to New Zealand, is likely to find a place in the XI, while Stuart Meaker could replace Jade Dernbach.
England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Ian Bell,3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Samit Patel, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Chris Woakes, 9 James Tredwell, 10 Steven Finn, 11 Stuart Meaker
India could bring in Cheteshwar Pujara in place of Gautam Gambhir, but he might not open. "You will see a new batting attack tomorrow," Suresh Raina suggested in the pre-match press conference.
India (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir/Cheteshwar Pujara, 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Shami Ahmed, 11 Ishant Sharma
Pitch and conditionsIt is a 9.30am start in Dharamsala and the ball is expected to nip around in the cool conditions.
Stats and trivia
Quotes"Definitely, I would like to bat higher up the order If I am given a chance. I would like to give my 100% as it will also give me an opportunity to play more overs."
"While seeing snow on the surrounding mountains gives an impression that it is chilly, the weather is quite tolerable and fit for the game."

Is the laptop getting really hot? I have a friend of mine with an HP laptop and it has some serious cooling issues.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 14:13
Posted 13 December 2012 - 14:35
Posted 13 December 2012 - 14:45
I am the (not very proud) owner of an dead HDX X16T-1200, and it worked fine for about a 18 months, although it would ALWAYS run hot. After about 18 months, the thing would get hot enough to cook an egg on, and that is not an exaggeration, and it just shut itself down one day. A few hours later I was able to power it up. Few days later, it shut down again. Couple days later i was able to power it up again, it worked for about a day, and then it died again. Repeat that process of it shutting down on its own and refusing to start for a good 4-8 weeks, but the time it would stay on got less and less. It eventually would only stay on for about 10 minutes, so I gave up on it.
I opened it up, looked at everything, and it all looked as it should. Fans were not terribly dusty, etc. I think they just use crap components.
So, I hate to say this as I know you are looking for answers, I just think they are crap laptops. I purchased mine as I was considering a MacBook at the time, but the HP laptop was over 60% less expensive once I found coupons online than the MacBook I was looking at at the time. But, I guess it is a matter of you get what you pay for.
I still have it in my basement. I am pretty sure if I went and grabbed it, it would power up again, but would probably only last a few days tops before it just decided to stop working.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 15:46
Yeah, I have definitely pondered it, and may pick one up in the future if needed, but since I have purchased it, I got a new job who was gracious enough to purchase me a MacBook Pro (two actually, I now have a MBP Retina), that I can also use for personal use, so I just kind of put the HP laptop away for a rainy day. I was actually thinking I may play around with it over Xmas break to see what if anything I can get working again.
Maybe for these laptops an SSD would be a good choice. Maybe the drive was contributing to the heat.

Getting the unlock code from your provider may be harder if it's orange (for whatever reason) but from what I've heard from people who've done it with bloke on market or whatever that it's fairly unimportant who the provider is.
Cus im so sick of my omnia ive been looking at some PAYG's to tide me over till i can upgrade. Found one i like but its on Orange and im on Voda, my fella then pointed out the Orange were notorious to unlock, but this was 2 years ago and things change fast.
Is it still the case? Dont wanna buy a phone i cant use!
Getting the unlock code from your provider may be harder if it's orange (for whatever reason) but from what I've heard from people who've done it with bloke on market or whatever that it's fairly unimportant who the provider is.
You can unlock a lot of phones for nothing but it tends to be older models. Take a look here.
Nokiafree unlock phone codes calculator software
There are a lot of other sites that do the same, so googling the model with free unlock might do the trick.
When I got my Nokia phone from Carphone Warehouse they told me all of their phones are supplied unlocked. Mine was, because I bought a T-Mobile PAYG and put my contract Orange SIM card in and it was fine.
personally i would stay well clear of unlock websites as these are a great place for scammers to get your details from, find a local mobile phone dealer , second hand ones are usually a good bet for unlocking mobile phones, or like Kmount suggested get down to your local market as many mobile phone stalls have the ability to unlock most models on most networks,
hope that helps hun
Yeah, carphonewarehouse supply theres unlocked, ive used them in the past. Just dont think they have the phone i want.
Thats ok then, was going to visit a market guy but just wanted to make sure one provider isnt harder then another...
Oh nothing amazing, just something cheap and cheerful..Samsung C3050...Orange have it in Purple....ahem...
Everything else just seems a little too expensive for something i may only use for about 6 months...
Ooh good queston Arthur, maybe there is an exception to the rule...
I've heard that Orange will be selling iPhones as well as O2 soon, but not sure if it's definately true or not.
Little Miss:
Have you tried upgrading your omnia??
I love my omnia, but have upgraded it to an unreleased Windows Mobile 6.5 custom rom.
Can point you in the right direction if you want to try it?
I uprgraded it a few months back to stop it from answering itself (!). Havent tried since...dunno if i can be bothered. Point the way anyway
I'm currently on 23034 (Lite) - Released on 23/08/2009 - Version Athena with Original Titanium v1 - 8mb pagepool size, as V2 was a bit buggy for me but should be ok, but i was trying at 2am. lol

Iniesta named Euro's best playerComment on this story
Kiev – Andres Iniesta, who helped Spain to a second successive European Championship triumph in Poland and Ukraine, was named the best player at the tournament by Uefa on Monday.
Iniesta played a central role for Spain in Sunday's 4-0 win over Italy as they became the first country to retain the title.
Andy Roxburgh, the head of Uefa's technical group, told reporters: "Andrea Pirlo was magnificent for Italy, Xavi won it last time and could have won it again. Xabi Alonso was magnificent but Iniesta sends a message about creative and incisive football and was superb throughout."
The Uefa squad of Euro 2012
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Iker Casillas (Spain), Manuel Neuer (Germany)
Defenders: Gerard Pique (Spain), Fabio Coentrao (Portugal), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Pepe (Portugal), Sergio Ramos (Spain), Jordi Alba (Spain)
Midfielders: Daniele De Rossi (Italy), Steven Gerrard (England), Xavi (Spain), Andres Iniesta (Spain), Sami Khedira (Germany), Sergio Busquets (Spain), Mesut Ozil (Germany), Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Xabi Alonso (Spain)
Forwards: Mario Balotelli (Italy), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Zlatan Ibrahimovoic (Sweden), David Silva (Spain) – Reuters

A Book of Bolivars
Gregory Mottola
Posted: August 17, 2010
The tenth volume of the Habanos Collection has been released by Habanos S.A., the worldwide distributor of Cuban cigars, and the 2010 edition features the Bolivar Gran Belicoso.
Made at the Partagas factory in Havana, the Gran Belicoso measures 7 1/8 inches long by 54 ring gauge. It's known as the rodolpho size in Cuban cigar factories, and only the San Cristobal de La Habana Murella shares its dimensions. More casually known as the "Habanos books," only 1,000 boxes of 20 were made exclusively for La Casa del Habano shops, Habanos's licensed franchise.
"The figurado format of the Gran Belicoso in this Habanos collection deeply connects with the tradition of the brand," said an official Habanos release, adding that the tobacco inside was harvested from plantations located in Pinar del Río.

Whether you're wrapping a rectangle around your favorite still-shot or hunting for a specific tool or tint, Rainy Day's friendly, enthusiastic staff will happily assist in your artistic endeavors. The shop carries anything from Fun with Rock Painting kits ($9.95) to the Unemployed Philosophers Guild's Obamarama magnetic dress-up playsets ($12.99), as well as essentials for the established or aspiring artist, such as Prismacolor pencils ($19.31 for set of 12) and Crayola Ultimate Art Supplies sets ($21.19). On the custom framing side, the resident framesperts are equipped with a bounty of beautiful and inventive frames for a wide range of sizes. Though the pricing for elements varies just as much as their framed-in contents, framing averages around $15 to $25 per foot and around $145 total, depending on the glass, matting, and other options.
The Limelite Boutique cherry-tops customers' outfits with a lineup of designer accessories centered on its collection of colorful handbags. Alongside the more traditional purses, the online shop equips clients with wallets for easy organization or beach bags that celebrate carefree vacation days with summery prints depicting rows of flip-flops, lawn chairs lounging on the sand, and parents forcing their children to work summer jobs at the local corn dog hutch. Necklace sets and rings adorn décolletages and fingers with elegant twists of silver or colorful arrangements of stones, and a lineup of sandals from Sierra and Oka b. clothe footparts in open-toed ensembles of decorated straps and wedge soles.
The staff at New Balance of Philadelphia & South Jersey isn't concerned with simply selling shoes—their mission is to pair customers with the footwear that will carry them comfortably through life's arduous steps. Understanding that an ill-fitting pair of athletic shoes can cause pain to joints and potentially damage knees, hips, and the back, associates measure the length and width of each client's foot and conduct a gait analysis to chart the trajectory of their stride when walking normally or running through ball pits. The data are collected to help the staff match clients with their ideal shoe, keeping them running longer and looking good while doing so.
Paint Your Masterpiece nudges creativity so it emerges from its slumber and stretches its arms across a wide selection of unfinished ceramic bisque pieces, including picture frames ($30), cereal-size bowls ($18), and coffee mugs ($18). Budding artists can choose from more than 50 available colored glazes before splattering creative juices all over tiles ($10.50) and birthday plates ($20). Completed pieces are dipped in a clear glaze, fired in the studio's kilns, and then placed on the studio's test mantle to make sure they are display-worthy. For inspiration, tap into the dreamscapes of the subconscious or seek the assistance of the creative staff of ceramicists. To help bring artistic visions to life, pot painters are also invited to tinker with available aids such as books, stamps, and stencils. All the necessary tools are available for use on-site, and customers may pick up their masterpieces after approximately seven days.
Mattress Firm has a large selection of beds from such brand names as Sealy, Simmons Beauty Rest, and Stearns & Foster.

Ken Cappelletty and Fred Moor, the men who man Ken's Flower Shops, didn't grow up dreaming about buds and stems. Raised by a local policeman, Ken likely spent more time playing cops and robbers than sniffing the neighbor's rosebushes. It wasn't until he helmed the cash register at a neighborhood florist in L.A. that he discovered his knack for design. Here, he started to see flowers as more than just plants, viewing them as art supplies that happen to smell nice. When Ken returned to Ohio, his parents helped him launch a small shop that arranged blooms in the morning and delivered them in the afternoon. Two years later, in 1967, his friend Fred took some of the reins, helping him grow the business into three local stores affiliated with FTD and Teleflora. From this labor of love, a legacy began to take root. At each shop, seasoned designers incorporate customers' requests into birthday bouquets, wedding corsages, and gift baskets filled with wine, house-baked cookies, and stuffed toys cute enough to melt hearts and plush enough to sop up the mess. Their talent and creativity takes center stage as well, whether they're filling vases with orchids, crafting wreaths from roses, or building bouquets from singing balloons. To this day, Fred often answers the phones, discerning customers' style preferences from friendly chats rather than pilfered diary pages. To make giving easy as getting, the shop's wares can be delivered locally or internationally, seven days a week.

China and North Korea have further strengthened their commitment to the development of new economic zones on the North Korea side of their shared border as major OEMs will be enticed with the prospect of tax breaks, cheap labor and land, and access to China and overseas markets.
China plans to build a three-pier terminal and a railroad into China at a special economic zone at Rason in North Korea, which boasts an ice-free harbor almost year-round near the Chinese border.
Leading officials from both governments met this week and reports suggest advisors to Kim Jong-Un, who took power after the death last year of his father Kim Jong-Il, emphasized the zones would be critical to improving North Korea's impoverished economy.
This week's governmental meeting further cemented the Rason project, which will focus on technology, apparel and logistics. It also pushed forward plans for the Hwanggumphyong and Wihwado Economic Zone. HWEZ will be located on two islands across the Yalu River from the Chinese city of Dandong. North Korea approved a 50-year lease of the islands by China last year.

It's the one thing we all dread when traveling abroad or even in the country - losing our luggage. Middle Seat Terminal columnist Scott McCartney joins Lunch Break's Tanya Rivero to explain how airlines lose our luggage and what they are doing to fix it. Photo: Getty
The number of bags delayed, damaged or lost by airlines has fallen by more than half since the industry hit a low point for lost luggage six years ago.
It's happened thanks to a concerted effort world-wide by airlines and airports to fix a major inconvenience for travelers. Airlines last year mishandled 21.8 million bags, or 6.96 per 1,000 passengers, according to SITA, an aviation communications and technology company that tracks baggage performance each year. That's well less than half the rate in 2007, when airlines world-wide mishandled 46.9 million bags, or 18.88 per 1,000 passengers, SITA said.
"It got to the point five or six years ago where it was quite an embarrassment for the industry, for airlines and airports," said Nick Gates, SITA's London-based baggage portfolio director.
Lost baggage was costing the airline industry $4 billion a year by 2007. Repatriating delayed or lost luggage to passengers cost an average of $100 per bag, and there had been a steady increase in the frequency of mishandled baggage until then. The International Air Transport Association, the major trade organization for airlines, decided it had to act.
Which U.S. Airlines Are Most Likely to Lose Your Luggage?
The number of mishandled bags last year was 3.22 per 1,000 passengers, a steep drop from an industry low point in 2007. See how various airlines perform.
In the U.S., the rate of mishandled baggage tracked by the Transportation Department fell 54%, to 3.22 of every 1,000 passengers last year from 7.03 out of every 1,000 passengers in 2007. While 2013 saw 21% improvement in the rate of mishandled bags world-wide over 2012, the 3.22 rate in the U.S. actually slipped a bit from 2012, largely because of poorer baggage handling at Southwest Airlines LUV +1.36% Southwest Airlines Co. U.S.: NYSE $40.12 +0.54 +1.36% Dec. 17, 2014 4:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12.57M AFTER HOURS $40.12 0.00 % Dec. 17, 2014 7:43 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 44,205 P/E Ratio 24.02 Market Cap $26.86 Billion Dividend Yield 0.60% Rev. per Employee $410,542 12/17/14 How Google, GE and U.S. Firms ... 12/17/14 The Year's Best 401(k) Plans 12/11/14 Delta Expects Lower Fuel Price...

One big factor for the long-term change in the U.S. was that airlines realized when they started charging fees for baggage, customer expectations would rise. Airlines typically spent as little as possible on baggage handling before fees because it didn't drive revenue. Now baggage was bringing in money and new equipment was easier to justify. Bag fees also reduced the volume of checked baggage, as passengers carried more on board.
Improvements in on-time performance at airlines drove big gains in baggage reliability, airlines say. If flights arrive on-time, handlers have a better chance of connecting bags to the next flight. Airports got more involved and some, such as Las Vegas McCarran International, invested in new innovations to move bags faster from the curb to the airplane belly.
Baggage passes through a scanner on conveyor belts at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Luggage tags at McCarran are read accurately 99.96% of the time, the airport says, compared with an industry average of about 90%. Isaac Brekken for The Wall Street Journal
TSA also moved baggage screening from terminal lobbies, where it manually put bags through giant screening machines, to machines built into conveyor-belt systems that can check bags faster. That really sped up the process of getting bags to airplanes.
When bags do go missing, SITA says 81% get delivered to passengers unscathed. Damaged luggage or bags with items pilfered add up to nearly 16% of mishandled bag reports, while bags declared lost or stolen amount to 3% of all mishandled bags.
IATA focused attention on the problem by sending teams of baggage experts to 80 airports world-wide and evaluating root causes of lost bags.
One of the biggest issues: Airlines did a poor job communicating with each other and their own employees about bags. Baggage handlers often didn't know when a bag was coming from another carrier or when a quick transfer had to be made, said Paul Behan, IATA's head of passenger experience, based in Geneva.
Another simple fix they found: Keeping tag printers clean and well-maintained so bar codes print crisply for machine-reading helped, he said.
Airlines say the effort coincided with availability of cheaper technology for scanning bag tags and tracking bags. Key infrastructure such as airport Wi-Fi that could be used by hand-held scanners and computers mounted in baggage vehicles also made a difference.
US Airways in 2007 had the worst baggage-handling rate among major U.S. airlines. About one of every 118 passengers had a bag go missing that year. Last year, US Airways' rate of mishandled bags was 70% lower.
Robert Isom, head of operations at US Airways and now chief operating officer at American Airlines following their merger, said the airline needed to improve baggage handling because it was losing so much money delivering delayed bags.
Early versions of hand-held scanners didn't last long in the harsh environment of airports, where they'd often get dropped, run over or exposed to extreme temperatures. "We now have units that can last more than a few months," he said.
Baggage handlers know how many bags remain to be loaded on each flight in the countdown to departure and get alerts when a bag hasn't shown up at the right flight.

Delta said it spent more than $100 million on new baggage-sorting systems in Atlanta and New York's Kennedy International airport, installing high-speed belts in Atlanta, for instance.
Each day, station managers review data on the number and causes of mishandled bags at their airports, and a team pores over data at headquarters as well.
With more data, Delta precisely tells baggage handlers at each airport when to shuttle connecting bags from plane to plane directly and when there's enough time to put bags into the airport's sorting system so they can go out to their next flight with other luggage.
Before, "it was brutally manual," said Bill Lentsch, Delta's senior vice president of airport customer service.
Delta cut its mishandled baggage rate by 71% since 2007. Last year only one of every 457 domestic passengers had a bag go missing.

Transferring bags still remains the biggest pothole for airline baggage handling, accounting for 45% of all mishandled bags, IATA says. Connecting bags between airline partners, both international and regional carriers, often cause delayed and lost bags, according to SITA.
Las Vegas has been gambling it can improve baggage handling by embedding radio-frequency identification (or RFID) tags in paper luggage tags, then tracking each piece of luggage precisely through the airport until it gets on a plane.
U.S. baggage systems are typically the domain of airlines. Not so in Las Vegas, which decided baggage handling was a key customer service issue for a leisure destination. If travelers lost bags (as well as casino bets), they might not feel good about the trip and not come back.
McCarran Airport began using RFID in 2006. It tracks when bags get delivered to the Transportation Security Administration for screening, how quickly they come back into the airport's sorting system, what time airlines receive bags for loading and whether they actually get onboard the correct flight.
Traditional paper tags get scanned by optical readers—that works about 90% of the time. If a bag moving down conveyor belts doesn't get read, it's dumped into a pile to be manually sorted.
RFID tags get correctly read 99.96% of the time in Las Vegas, said Rosemary Vassiliadis, McCarran's director of aviation.
Tags cost 13 cents each and Las Vegas uses up to 45,000 each day—that's worth about $2 million a year.
IATA's Mr. Behan says the future will be electronic tags loaded with passenger itineraries that will help further improve reliability. IATA's new initiative to again reduce the mishandled rate by half is studying electronic tags with both traditional bar codes on paper tags and programmable RFID chips. The tags could be programmed by passengers using their Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, loading their itinerary themselves, and then just dropping the bag when they get to the airport without waiting in line.

Most locations have books, televisions, and kids' play areas to keep children entertained while adults are bronzing.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's the value of a 15-second video?
Well, the popular photo-sharing service Instagram is hoping to help users calculate that value with its new video feature. The tool will give iPhone and Android smartphone owners the ability to capture 15-second clips and share them with followers. Individual users will undoubtedly love the feature, and brands are already beginning to leverage its power. Click here to see how athletic apparel company Lulemon is already putting it to work.
For meeting planners and trade show organizers who are looking to create that don't-you-wish-you-were-here feeling, the video feature offers promising potential. That short product tutorial on the trade show floor? A snippet of a general session audience going crazy at a surprise announcement? A clip of that live band at your evening networking event? The ability to post moments in motion can certainly help those who didn't register recognize what they're really missing.
SEE ALSO: 3 Reasons Why Meeting Planners Should Use Instagram
The fact that Instagram is owned by Facebook certainly doesn't hurt either. While Instagram had 100 million active users as of February 2013, Facebook is the social giant. All those videos will post to Facebook timelines, too, which will dramatically increase their reach.
Meeting planners can share videos via their own accounts, but it's crucial to get attendees snapping photos, taking videos, tagging your event and sharing content. Click here to see how PCMA is inviting attendees to get hip to Instagram at this week's PCMA Education Conference in Denver.
