US 5004975 A Abstract Adjustable electronic graticules for measuring waveform distortions are generated from operator inputs indicating a measurement mode and a scale factor. A template of a graticule for the measurement mode in the form of a display list of move and draw instructions is scaled by the scale factor and a measurement value is computed from the scale factor and the instrument units per division setup. The graticule and measurement value are stored as a modified display list. A readout engine interprets the modified display list and produces electrical signals for drawing the graticule and measurement value on a display monitor. The electrical signals are combined with the waveform for display on the display monitor. The operator varies the scale factor until the displayed graticule touches the waveform at a measurement point, and the measurement value is accordingly displayed.
Claims(2) 1. An apparatus for measuring distortions of a waveform using adjustable electronic graticules comprising:
means for generating a display list based upon operator inputs of measurement mode and scale factor that represents a graticule and a measurement value; means for generating from the display list electronic signals for the graticule and the measurement value; and means for displaying the graticule and the measurement value together with the waveform. 2. A method of measuring distortions of a waveform using adjustable electronic graticules comprising the steps of:
generating a display list based upon operator inputs of measurement mode and scale factor that represents a graticule and a measurement value; generating from the display list electronic signals for the graticule and the measurement value; and displaying the graticule and the measurement value together with the waveform. Description The present invention relates to user interfaces for measuring waveform distortions, and more particularly to adjustable electronic graticules for measuring waveform distortions to eliminate parallax errors and to eliminate the need for interpolation between fixed graticule marks. A waveform monitor is a specialized form of an oscilloscope for making measurements of video waveforms in the television industry. Graticules generally are found in two forms on a cathode ray tube (CRT) used for waveform monitoring: internal fixed graticules on the CRT; and plastic overlays with fixed graticules for placing over the face of the CRT. Internal graticules only contain commonly used markings, while graticules for special measurements, such as waveform distortions, are relegated to plastic overlays to reduce the clutter for normal operation. In addition these external overlays come in two forms; one for normal viewing and one slightly reduced for photographic uses. Some common television measurements performed using these special purpose graticules include K-Factor, ICPM (Incidental Carrier Phase Modulation) and short time distortion (SD). K-Factor measurements include the use of a submarine-shaped graticule to measure the distortion of a sine-squared pulse which generally has markings for two and five percent distortion values, with other values of distortion being interpolated visually by an operator from these values. ICPM graticules have straight lines extending radially outward from a zero carrier reference point, usually in the form of a family of markings spaced in two degree intervals. SD measurements require a complex graticule to measure the distortion of a sine-squared step waveform. Each video standard, such as NTSC, PAL, SECAM and the like, has its own definition of distortions and graticule shapes to measure these distortions, often resulting in the requirement for different graticules for each video standard for the same measurement. As is readily apparent these external graticules are subject to parallax errors when used by an operator, as well as interpolation errors when the waveform falls between fixed graticule locations. What is desired are adjustable electronic graticules for measuring waveform distortions that do not clutter the screen when the measurement is not desired, yet when used eliminate parallax and interpolation errors to provide a more accurate measurement of the waveform distortions. Accordingly the present invention provides adjustable electronic graticules for measuring waveform distortions that are displayed only when the specific measurement is desired. Templates of graticules in the form of display lists of move and draw commands are stored in a microprocessor accessible memory. To draw a particular graticule shape the microprocessor modifies a selected one of the display lists to alter the move and draw instructions appropriate for drawing the graticule. A readout engine processes the modified display list to draw the graticule on a CRT screen together with a waveform being measured. Adjustment of the graticule is via a front panel knob accessible to an operator. The microprocessor reads the knob setting and scales the appropriate move and draw instructions to produce the modified display list to set the graticule to the appropriate size. An alphanumeric readout display shows the current scale setting or measurement readout. The objects, advantages and other novel features of the present invention are apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended claims and attached drawing. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an instrument for measuring waveform distortions according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flow diagram for generating adjustable electronic graticules for the instrument of FIG. 1 according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a screen illustration of the scaling of the electronic graticules according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a screen illustration of performing a measurement of waveform distortions using adjustable electronic graticules according to the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1 a waveform measuring instrument 10, such as an oscilloscope or waveform monitor, is shown having a display monitor 12, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT), upon which a waveform to be measured is displayed together with appropriate graticules to assist in measuring properties of the waveform. The waveform is input via a multiplexer 14 to appropriate drive circuits 16 to produce the desired display on the display monitor 12, as is conventional. A microprocessor 18 receives various inputs from an operator, such as a measurement mode and a scale factor parameter. According to the measurement mode the microprocessor 18 accesses from a read only memory (ROM) 20 an appropriate display list of move and draw instructions to perform the selected measurement. The information to be displayed is processed and input to a random access memory (RAM) 22 in the form of a modified display list. The modified display list from the RAM 22 is accessed by a readout engine 24 that converts the display list into electrical signals that are input to the multiplexer 14 to draw the graticule and corresponding measurement value on the display monitor 12. The readout engine 24 is controlled by the microprocessor 18 which tells the readout engine when there is new data in the RAM 22, and when to provide the electrical signals to the multiplexer 14. The microprocessor 18 also controls the multiplexer 14 so that the waveform and electrical signals from the readout engine 24 are combined to present to the display monitor 12 an apparently simultaneous display of the waveform and electrical signals representing electronic graticules and alphanumeric information, i.e., the electronic graticules and alphanumeric information are time multiplexed with the waveform. As shown in FIG. 2 when a measurement is started the microprocessor 18 determines what measurement program to access from the ROM 20 according to a measurement mode selected by an operator, usually by push button selection on a front panel of the instrument 10. For adjustable electronic graticules according to the present invention an appropriate template of the graticule for the measurement mode selected in the form of a display list of move and draw instructions together with the measurement program is transferred to the microprocessor 18 for processing. The template is scaled according to operator input from the front panel, such as the angular rotation of a knob, and from the scale factor and the instrument setup of units per division on the display monitor 12 a measurement value is calculated. A clip function is accessed to test the scaled template to determine whether any part of it falls outside the available display area of the display monitor 12 and clips the values accordingly. The scaled, and clipped if necessary, template and the measurement value are transferred to the RAM 22 in the form of the modified display list. From the display list the readout engine, which typically is a state machine, generates the electrical signals that represent the graticule and measurement values for display, as is well known in the art. The electrical signals are displayed on the display monitor 12 together with the waveform. So long as there is no scale factor or measurement mode change, the graticule and measurement value continue to be displayed on the display monitor 12. If the operator manipulates the knob on the front panel to change the scale factor, then the microprocessor 18 goes back to obtain the new scale factor and rescale the template and recalculate the measurement value. The resultant new modified display list is loaded into the RAM 22, and the microprocessor 18 indicates to the readout engine 24 to generate a new display. If there is a mode change, then the microprocessor 18 goes back to access the new measurement mode program and associated graticule template from ROM 20 and the process is repeated as described above. FIG. 3 represents a scaling operation where the original electronic graticule 30 is scaled up, i.e., magnified, by changing the instrument setup. In this instance the highest points of the new graticule 32 exceed the upper limit of the display screen as indicated by the clip level 34. The resultant display list would only include the line draw for the last line segment of the graticule up to the clip level. The graticule, and measurement value, are graphically represented as vectors and generated by the move and draw instructions. The move instruction locates an XY location from which to start drawing a line, and a draw instruction causes a line to be drawn between a start point and an end point. For the portion of the graticule 30 shown in FIG. 3 a move instruction indicates the first start point 36, then subsequent draw instructions draw lines between points 36-38 and 38-40. Another move instruction moves from point 40 to point 42, and subsequent draw instructions complete the template of the graticule from point 42 to 44 to 46. Change of the scale factor by the operator affects only the Y-coordinate in the modified display list. In operation a waveform 48 is displayed on the screen 50 of the display monitor 12 as shown in FIG. 4. Also displayed is the electronic graticule 30. The operator adjusts the scale factor for the graticule until the graticule contacts any portion of the waveform 48, such as at point 52. The measurement value and the measurement type are displayed 54 together with the instrument setup in terms of units per division 56 of the fixed graticule on the display monitor 12. In this manner the operator can obtain an accurate measurement of the distortions of the waveform 48 without the need for inaccurate interpolations between fixed graticule lines and without any parallax errors. Although the present invention is described in terms of display lists of move and draw instructions, any other type of template representation for the graticules that are readily amenable to selection and adjustment in response to mode and scale selections may be used. Thus the present invention provides adjustable electronic graticules for measuring waveform distortions by retrieving a stored template according to the measurement mode and scaling the template for display according to operator input, the operator scaling the template until the graticule on the display touches the point on the waveform to be measured.

My favorite TM so far. I got this in the shade Alaska and it's a bit too dark for my NW15 skin but it works in the summer when I get a little more color. I apply it with my fingers and it blends very well and looks like natural skin. It evens out my skintone and provides light to medium coverage. If I have any red spots I have to use a little bit of concealer but I prefer this option to using full coverage foundations which usually look cakey on me. I also use this to mix with my Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream to make the shade more golden, and this combination works amazing! If your BB cream is a tad too light or too gray, try mixing with this product to get the perfect shade and the most natural looking finish.
I got a sample of this from Sephora. This is an excellent TM, almost more like a light foundation. It gives my skin this most amazing god-given glow, and conceals 90% of my acne scars, and blurs my more stubborn spots (I use concealer for that). The shade "Alaska" matched very well, and this stuff blends like a dream. However... I will not be purchasing it, because it is a whopping $42! Maybe when I am making my own money and not asking my mother for money will I buy this! XD But if you dont mind spending a little extra cash, definitely check this out.
I love this tinted moisturiser! After being a fan of NARS sheer matte, i thought i'd try this out since i don't really like to wear foundation - this is a perfect alternative for daytime wear. I used to wear Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer but it was too thick and it'd make me break out. I have super sensitive acne-prone skin and this has not made me break out. I've been using this for a month now! The colour match is just right for me (St. Mortiz) and i love the consistency of this product. It glides on smoothly so you don't need much at all! I have a lot of blemishes though, and although the coverage is buildable, it is very sheer, so i usually use my MAC select moisturecover. I love the finish of this product as well and surprisingly it doesn't make me as oily as sheer matte foundation does! Definitely recommend!
I have combination, pigmented, sensitive, fair skin. It has always been a struggle for me to find any foundations that work for my skin, let alone a tinted moisturizer. This is the best one I have tried so far. The coverage is better than most, and it dries to a semi-matte, natural finish that lasted all day for me. I would definitely but this again, although I wish it was more reasonably priced, which is why I gave it a 4 out of 5 instead of the full 5.

The only reason I buy this product is for the sheer color which is incomparable to other tinted moisturizers. It leaves a nice dewy finish which is NOT sparkly for us ladies that are not going for the teen screen look. I find this is a great alternative to foundation on a daily basis. As for a moisturizer, I am unsure of any skin benefits...(read ingredient list...not exactly impressive) so I like to use an antioxidant serum underneath. As for SPF, they took the SPF label off of the new package and reading the ingredient list the very minimal amount of SPF it does have is LAST on the ingredient list (basically meaning NO SPF protection) as they are not active ingredients. I recommend using a separate face SPF on top of this product (or mix with product when applying) as you are fooling yourself if you think this will protect you from the sun. But overall I would buy this again :)
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So far this is the best tinted moisturizer I've tried. I don't think it's the perfect one, but I like how it's not make me look as oily as the others have and it's very light, especially since I live in the tropics. I do wish it would last longer though, it disappears from my face after a few hours. Application is very smooth, you don't need a lot at all, just a pea-sized drop would do. I've made the mistake squirting out too much and having to wipe the excess from my hand afterwards.
One thing to note is that the colors run darker than usual/other brands. I'm usually a NC15-20 or Medium with MAC, so I got this in St Moritz based on the description (without trying, my bad) and it's like a bronzer on me! Since it's quite expensive, I'll just keep on using it and put some lighter powder on top of it until I finish it. I heard that, for my coloring, even Finland might work.
SA an ad for this and the co,or of the AA model was quite chocolate,y, so I thought hmmm after reading a few reviews.
In Sephora MA immediately started with Polynesia to color match me and it just blended right in. Perfect color. I like the consistency and it goes on and blends well. I'm very oily in summer and especially Tzone. So far it still looks good and didn't oxidize to a funny color which can sometimes happen to to SPF on AA skin and look ashy. So far, that isn't a problem. Another heat wave on the horizon this week, so will report back. I can usually only go max 4 hours even with powder before the shinnies appear on my nose and forehead requiring blotting. Will see how this product works and will report back I took star off so far for price. It's expensive.
3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this TM. It is exactly what I was looking for as you can use it in the summer as a lightweight product. It provides sun protection against UVA and UVB which is great. I also like it as even if you tan a little you can continue to use it and it wont look odd. I am around nc30-35 skin tone and I use the shade st moritz which is prefect for me when I'm pale and when I'm tanned. It also gives a radiance to the skin as advertised. Am really happy with this and If I run out I would repurchase.
This is a nice product - it does what a tinted moisturizer is supposed to to - it´s not heavy or give too much coverage, but evens out the skin a bit. What I liked is that even though it´s called "radiant", t doesn´t have shimmer. There is no matte finish either, in fact, it is similar to the finish I get with the Tinted Moisturizer by Laura Mercier, BUT the Mercier one gives me a more eventoned skin, and I also had the impression that Nars makes my skin oilier. So, I´m glad I had a sample (in the color St. Moritz, luckily a perfect match for me), and didn´t pay for the full size, because I prefer the Laura Mercier one. Still, a nice product though. I subtracted a lippie due to the high price, otherwise I would have given it 4 lippies.
This product is fantastic. Has a fresh scent, its not shimmery like a bronzer which I like because then I can use my mac mineralized skin finish to set this moisturizer and that itself has a bit of shimmer.
I would almost say that this also has decent coverage, obviously not foundation type coverage but it will minimize flaws for sure.
SO expensive and I am glad I have a friend working in the industry that can offer me employee discount or i may not purchase this again.

Varieties of HID Lamps/Bulbs
There are several types of High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps and bulbs, but all HIDs use two electrodes that create an arc very similar to the arc produced in fluorescent lamps. Although the HID arc is shorter, it emits more heat and light. HID was first introduced primarily for outdoor purposes, such as HID headlights in cars and other vehicles. Today its application has expanded to include indoor purposes like indoor gardening.

My comment to it:
In a travelling circus carnival, a game booth operator is usually referred to as a "Carney."
The Obama Circus is hilarious and Carney is literally so full of shit I smell him from here.
I wonder if the White House press corps room tries to gives free Obama Foil to reporters.
Free Obama Foil, Free Obama Foil. You can't see through it because it's Transparent!™
Use it to wrap around your eyes and ears to shield you from the truth. Obama approved.

How in the world does Tapper get admitted to that room?
I don't get it. Is this a show? I have to assume that this is all staged. Carney was supposed to stumble and stutter and look flustered, thereby making Tapper look legit.
The main psy-op being that, "You cattle Americans. You can do nothing. We will kill you w/o due process and rub your faces in it."
The psy-op is to create a normalcy bias.
If Tapper is not part of the script, though that surely is a remote chance (I mean, is there any evidence he is for real, like a Ben Swann or AJ?), if he is legit, then he should have stood up and said "You and your boss are criminals by your own admission - you killed this man w/o due process, and now refuse to even say you need to bring forth evidence. Am I to be on your list next? What about Michael Hastings? Do you all support a full independent investigation of his car blowing up? You all are destroying the Bill of Rights. You should be ashamed of yourselves. What about you other reporters here, do any of you care about your remaining freedoms, or what might happen to you or your children in this Nazi-style police state we live in? Jay, you are a co-conspirator and you must answer these basic questions. This administration is guilty of outright murder, and you are aiding and abetting them. What have you to say for yourself? Sieg Heil to Obama, is that all you can say?"

Good Reason Not To Have A U.S. citizen ship
Guys, wake up, no one is a U.S. citizen ship. That is an impossibility.
Can someone be their Sam's Member ship card?
So no one is a U.S. citizen.
That means that legally U.S. Government can do anything it wants to to its member ships.
A U.S. citizen ship is a corporation.
So if the U.S. Government wants to liquidate its corporation then it can.
Who's fault is it that a real man or woman is tied to the Mast of that ship?
The Social Security card is the U.S. citizen.
Send it back to the Department of The Treasury and request your member ship be liquidated.
Nobody forced you to sign up for a Sam's Club member ship card.
Nobody forced anyone to sign up for U.S. citizen ship. It is a completely optional membership in a communist State.
If you don't like your membership benefits of Torture, body probes, highway robbery and Death, then cancel your membership!
Nowhere did they talk about the U.S. Government's "right" to kill American Nationals.
There are American Nationals and then there are U.S. citizens.
Which deal do you want?
The New Deal (U.S. citizen ship)?
Taxed to Death
No Private Property
Can be killed when the U.S. citizen ship is liquidated
No Lawful Rights of Any kind, only privileges which Congress may grant its employees from time to time
Or the Old Deal (American National)?
No Property, Social Security, or Income Taxes
Private Property
Cannot be touched by police or other agencies (Sovereign Immunity)
All Lawful Rights derived from Private Property
There is a choice. If you continue to choose to have a membership in a cult of communist madmen then you will get what's comin'.
It always comes to killing in communist States. Why do you have a membership in a communist State and then whine about it? Yes the communists are authorized to kill disobedient communist party members ships.
If that makes any sense. They kill the Ship Name on the SS card, not the man. Of course the Man who was fool enough to tie himself to that Ship gets killed too.
Cancel your membership. Query the Department of The Treasury if you are serious about giving up the New Deal and living in Peace by the Old Deal.

With all assigned kudos to Jake for pursuing this line of questioning...I find it tiresome (sorry) to listen to weakly articulated arguments without a sense of real outrage and passion for the absurd responses Carney is allowed to mouth. That room of reporters look like sheep...sound like sheep and whine if they're hot on the trail without intelligent responses forthcoming. I truly think North Americans have lost the art of oratory and language comprehension. That exchange insults any intelligent thinking being.

Cinema 2009: The Ultimate Montage
2009 Year In Review By Neil Miller on December 25, 2009 | (3) CommentsThe year is about over. In fact, on Sunday when we at FSR return from our little mini-vacation, we will spend an entire week breaking down the year that was, tearing it to pieces and trying to put it back together again with our 2009 Year in Review. It should be fun — and we can't wait to bring it to your browser, RSS feed, iPhone or back-alley print-out soon.
But before we get to that — and due to the fact that its Christmas Eve and I'm a little nog'd up as I push through the final posts before I sleep for two straight days — I thought I would offer up something simple, and at the same time simply astonishing. It is called Cinema 2009, and its a 7-minute long trailer by Kees van Dijkhuizen. You may remember him as the guy who delivered the wildly popular 2008: A Tribute to Movies. This year he's back with another montage that is bigger, longer and includes more of the films we saw in '09. Here's the official description:
1 Year, 342 Movies, 12 Months of Production, 7 Minutes.
2009 proved that innovation is rewarded, and for that reason, I've decided no film should be left behind. I've nearly tripled the amount of footage used in 2008: A Tribute To The Movies.
And the video:
For those wondering about the music played in the trailer, here's the list:
- 'Malabar Front' by If These Trees Could Talk
- 'Death' by White Lies
- 'Crying Lightning' by Arctic Monkeys
- '1901' by Phoenix
- 'Wake Up' by Arcade Fire

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Search for seafood specialties comes up short
There aren't many of my favourite foods that I can't find in Winnipeg, but watching chef Anthony Bourdain work his way through two seafood towers -- in Brittany on one program, and in Paris on another -- evoked pangs of nostalgia and longing for the ones I still can't have. I remember two of those magnificent spreads -- also, as it happens, in Brittany and in Paris, at the fish-famous Le Duc. The latter in particular was a magnificent array of crustaceans and bivalves the sea had yielded that very morning.
But that, alas, was in another country; in our inland city, apart from sushi houses, seafood specialty restaurants are non-existent. I knew I wouldn't find that kind of tower here, but I yearned for something to satisfy my craving, and the very first item on Wasabi Sabi's menu looked promising: a seafood platter at $125 (obviously intended for two). It looked lavish, too, listing assorted sashimi, tuna tataki, seafood ceviche, shrimp, king crab and oysters.
However, anyone planning to come for that platter should probably call ahead to be sure it will be complete. We were almost immediately met with disappointment. There were no oysters at all, it turned out, early on a Saturday night (a sushi house without oysters seemed like an oxymoron); later we learned there would be no ceviche.
We hadn't arrived blind; I had phoned a day or two earlier to ask about the platter and it was described in detail, oysters and all. Lacking certain ingredients isn't a hanging offence, but when we asked what replacements we could have, we didn't get much help. Our server offered a few perfunctory suggestions without explaining (and we did keep asking) if they were of equal value. He also kept suggesting that we order la carte, even though we kept repeating it was the platter we had come for. When components of a top-listed feature are missing it seems reasonable that substitutions of equivalent value should be offered. And if our server didn't know what they might be, he should have consulted with the chef or manager instead of letting us fumble our way through the menu without effective guidance.
It was an unpleasant experience, and it wasn't the only one. That came later. We had finally settled on mango shrimp which (given our lengthy discussion) we understood to be one replacement for the oysters and the ceviche, especially since the shrimp that were supposed to be on the platter also turned up missing. It was a gorgeous dish -- six huge, deep-fried shrimp, glazed in a light, chili-flecked sauce, complemented by juicy cubes of mango -- but it showed up on the bill at an extra $14.
That said, what we did have on the platter was mostly excellent, especially the sashimi -- pink and red tuna, sockeye salmon, slightly chewy squid and surf clams, and chewier octopus. But the stars of the show, and possibly the best sashimi of my experience, were the rich-tasting butterfish; the smooth, deep-flavoured hamachi (yellowtail); and the exquisitely tender slices of scallops.
The chunks of crab were good too, but a skimpy two bites each. There was also tuna tataki and (possibly as a substitute) a special kind of sashimi -- salmon, tuna and butterfish, seared with hot olive oil and dotted with garlic and wee bits of scallion which, for my taste, obscured, rather than enhanced the flavours of the fish.
The dramatic, softly lit setting is stunning, divided into several different areas. The food was served within a reasonable time, but after two-and-a-half hours (the first half hour spent in trying to define our order), and a total bill of $200, it came as a surprise to be asked to give up our table because it was needed.
In my full review six years ago, I commented on the friendly, knowledgeable service. I wish I could have repeated that comment today.
-- -- --
After my experience at Wasabi Sabi, I made a point of phoning to make sure Terrace in the Park's seafood tower was still on the menu. (That visit wasn't without incident, either, for other reasons.) I had chosen lunch because, according to the menu, that was the only time it was served. Ditto the honey mussels from B.C., which we'd planned to order as well.
We soon learned there were plans to change the menu altogether, dropping the tower. The new menu goes into effect next week, so you have just a few days to try the tower -- and it might be worth the effort.
At $29 each (for a minimum of two) it is probably intended more as an appetizer than a meal and, following our server's suggestion, we ordered two portions for three of us, plus some extra oysters ($3 each, six for $16).
A pyramid of ice comes topped by lobster, snow crab, shrimp and oysters -- all delicious and served with a series of sauces on the side (but no lemon). The oysters (two different kinds) were plump, luscious and particularly fine.
Our problem was with the mussels, listed on the menu as B.C. honey mussels, which are brown-shelled, meaty, sweet, locally rare and quite fabulous. What we got instead were P.E.I. mussels -- tiny, but acceptable ($18, with tasty, but not crisp, fries), but not what we had ordered. When we mentioned it to the server, we were told the honey mussels weren't available -- again, not a hanging offence -- but the substitution should not have been automatic.
Still, we enjoyed the tower, the oysters and also our finale, a sumptuous Thai brownie with a mild tingle of chili, paired with vanilla bean ice cream, a little puddle of crème anglaise and a crisp sesame snap.
The service was friendly and attentive, and there are few venues to match the elegant, airy space with heavenly views of the park.

The main benefit of belonging to IODE is being part of a like-minded group of women who work together to improve the quality of life for those in need. Heritage and TraditionsIODE is proud of its heritage and traditions. In 1900, Margaret Polson Murray of Montreal encouraged the formation of a federation of women to promote patriotism, loyalty and service to others.
The first chapter, Federation of the Daughters of the Empire, was formed in Fredericton, New Brunswick on 05 January 1900. Primary chapters were formed in quick succession across Canada as were junior chapters. In 1901, the Federation was incorporated as Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire and Children of the Junior Branch. IODE was incorporated as a Canadian women's organization by a special act of the Parliament of Canada in 1917. IODE TodayUnder the jurisdiction of the National Chapter of Canada IODE are Provincial, Municipal and Primary chapters across Canada. With approximately 4,000 members across Canada in more than 200 chapters, the IODE tradition of serving children, youth and those in need continues. The name IODE was officially adopted in the 1970's. We are a federally chartered charitable organization.
IODE Canada and our members across Canada undertake an extensive variety of charitable and philanthropic projects every year. These include financial assistance and contributions of time and effort to students, educational institutions, hospitals, the under-privileged and those in need. IODE 100th Anniversary Grant Program

The IODE 100th Anniversary Grant Program is aimed at the prevention and rehabilitation of children and youth at risk of abuse and neglect. The Grant was created for IODE's centennial year in 2000 as a financial gift from IODE members. It is intended to benefit children as well as to celebrate the longstanding commitment IODE has to Canada's youth. The Grant was first awarded in 2001 and continues in alternate years. Applications are accepted between 01 September and 31 October 2014. The winner will be announced on IODE Founder's Day, 13 February 2015. 2015 IODE War Memorial ScholarshipAs World War I ended, The National Chapter of Canada initiated a living memorial to 60,000 Canadians whose lives were sacrificed. This War Memorial, approved at the 1918 Annual Meeting in Montreal, provided bursaries for university studies in Canada to children of men killed or permanently disabled in the Great War.
Immediately, a campaign to raise $500,000 began and by 1920 the first bursaries were awarded. Each province was assigned one award of $250 a year for four years (later increased to $300). Where there was no candidate, the bursary went to another province. In 1929, the War Memorial Fund of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire was enacted by special act (Bill 8) of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario. The War Memorial Committee in each province chose candidates based on their school record, health and character, the war service of their father and the family's financial circumstances. Both principal and interest of the Fund provided these bursaries until 1937. No awards were offered during the war years and bursaries ended in 1965. Scholarships based on academic excellence continued to be offered. The War Memorial Post Graduate Scholarships began in 1921 for one college graduate from each province to spend one year at a British University. Among the first to hold this scholarship for 1922-1923 at King's College, University of London, was Bertha M. Lawrence from Alberta. The value of a scholarship was $1,400 until 1930 when it was raised to $1,600. Post Graduate Scholarship used only the Fund's income. No awards were offered during the war years and when peace was finally declared, in 1946, the members of IODE decided to establish a Second War Memorial to honour the memory of forty some thousand men and women who lost their lives for Canada and in defense of freedom. The Post Graduate Scholarships from the two War Memorials Funds were originally offered in specific fields of study. Today, there is no such restriction. Applicants must be Canadian citizens and in at least the second year of their doctoral program. Scholarships valued at $15,000 are now awarded to students attending Canadian or Commonwealth universities. A committee in the province of the candidate's first degree makes selections and forwards nominations to the National Chapter where the final decisions are made. The National Selection Committee is comprised of five IODE members and three professors from different universities. The National Chapter of Canada IODE War Memorial Scholars have made important contributions to Canada and the world in medicine, science, business, politics and academia. Applications for the 2015 IODE War Memorial Scholarships are now being accepted. For more information, please visit the IODE War Memorial pages on our website here or contact the IODE War Memorial Officer at IODE Canada. |

BTF continues to transform lives through the gift of education for underprivileged young women in rural Turkey!
Dear Friend,
As 2014 comes to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting Bridge to Turkiye Fund's (BTF's) Girls' Empowerment Scholarships Program. For the 2014-15 academic year, we had set a goal of supporting 100 bright but economically disadvantaged young women and girls from rural regions of Turkey. With your generous support and donations, we exceeded our goal and 159 qualified young women and girls received a scholarship. Our newest scholarship recipients were chosen among students studying law, medicine, and education. In 2014, we had three high school and four university students graduated.
Secondary, tertiary and continuing education is the door that leads to social and economic empowerment. Access to this level of education is, however, still a distant dream for millions of girls and women around the world. This is especially true for young women from rural regions of Turkey. We believe education is key to combatting early marriage, illiteracy, school dropout, and low wages which are common issues faced by millions of girls in Turkey. With access to proper educational resources and guidance, a girl can reshape her destiny. More importantly, providing education will make a difference now and for generations to come giving women greater educational and economic opportunities.
In 2015, our New Year's resolution is to continue our work and expand our reach to 200 promising but economically disadvantaged girls so that they can reach their full potential. We hope you will continue to support our program to build towards a better world in 2015. We simply couldn't do it without you.
Thank you again for sharing our passion of helping to empower young women in Turkey and building stronger communities around the world.
From everyone at the Bridge to Turkiye Fund – have a happy and healthy holiday season.
TweetPROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO DISADVANTAGED TURKISH GIRLS
Educating Girls is Smart for All of Us!
Dear Supporter and Friend:
We are pleased to share with you our latest update on the Bridge to Türkiye Fund's (BTF) Girls' Empowerment Scholarship Program.
In our last update, we reported that, in 2013-14 academic year, BTF provided scholarships for 85 bright, deserving young women and girls from rural Turkey. Of the girls we supported, three students graduated from high school who are now university bound. And, six students graduated from college with degrees in law, business administration, and mathematics.
Thanks to your generosity, these young women are staying in school, graduating, and becoming productive members of the Turkish society!
Your continued support enables us to invest in the future of these young women who otherwise don't have the economic means to continue their education. Through your support, these young women and girls will have a chance to live better lives and promote a Turkish society where women have a voice and role in their communities.
This academic year, our aim is to expand our program to reach 100 young women. Exact number of students will be provided in the next status report. We are hopeful that you will continue with your support to help us reach our goal. We believe that with every student we educate, we get one step closer to the day where a person's birthplace, economic background, or gender no longer determines their future.
Thank you again for joining us in our quest to provide educational opportunities to deserving young women in rural regions of Turkey. And thank you for believing that the world can be better place, for supporting the BTF Girls' Empowerment Scholarships Program, and for transforming these girls' lives.
Best regards,
Bridge to Türkiye Fund

"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together" – African Proverb
Dilek, a 6th grader from Erzurum, Turkey, is just another young girl who hopes to become a teacher someday. Unfortunately, if she doesn't receive financial support, she will not be able to fulfill her dream, and what is worse is that she may be forced by her family to get married before she reaches 18 due to economic hardship.
Deniz is a senior journalism student in college who aspires to earn a doctorate degree in communication & jourmalism and educate new generations of journalists to high standards of quality in journalism while working towards achieving an independent, objective, free press in Turkey.
Bahar is a second year law student in Istanbul who wants to make a difference in establishing judicial systems that would build a Turkish society free from gender, ethnic, and religious discrimination, and achieving freedom of speech and expression in her country.
Duygu, a senior student, studying business administration at the Istanbul University whose dream is to be a world-renowned economist and win the Nobel Prize in economics some day. Duygu realizes that this is a challenging goal to achieve; however, she believes that everything begins with believing in yourself and following your dreams. And all significant, so-called impossible achievements in this world were accomplished by those who followed their dreams, took courageous strides, and believed that they would could happen.
These are just a few of the 85 bright young women supported through the BTF's Girls' Empowerment Scholarships Program in 2014.
The illiteracy rate among young women in the eastern and southeastern Turkey is estimated at 45 percent. For many years, the Turkish government and various NGOs have worked to improve the situation. But the economic hardship, restrictive traditions, distance to schools, and insufficient number of dormitories prevented many girls from access to education.
According to CNNTurk's special report on 4/23/14, the rate of girls attending school after primary school sharply declined in Turkey. For example, unschooled girls after primary school in eastern Anatolia are estimated at 74% and 82.7% in the southeastern Anatolia.
Despite the difficulties they face, these girls have high hopes for a better future just like any young girl growing up in developed countries. We know that educating girls has enormous social and economic benefits and has been identified as a primary means toward national development. This is why the BTF's Girls' Empowerment Program focuses on providing financial support to bright young women from poor families and who show the most potential for success.
Next academic year, we wish to expand the scholarship program to support 100 deserving young women and girls to help them get an education so that they can be productive members of their communities.
We greatly appreciate your continued support, generosity, and contributions to this important cause and enabling us to make a real difference in the lives of these young women and girls. Please continue to support this program so that we can help more young women to rise out of poverty and give them their future by visiting: http://goto.gg/9853.
We are counting on your continued support. Future generations are counting on you.

TweetBridge to Turkiye Fund - Providing Scholarships to Disadvantaged Turkish Girls - January 2014 Update
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use TO CHANGE THE WORLD!" – Nelson Mandela
We hope you had an enjoyable holiday season with family and friends and looking forward to all the great things the New Year has to offer.
2013 has been a remarkable year for the Bridge to Turkiye Fund's (BTF's) Girls' Empowerment Scholarships Program, thanks to the continued support and dedication from people like you. We are excited and proud to report that, in its fourth year of existence, we've been able to grow the scholarship program from 27 to 80 academically gifted but economically disadvantaged girls from rural communities in Turkey. When considering that our goal in 2013 was to support 50 girls, this was truly an amazing achievement.
We continue to collaborate with our trusted partner in Turkey, the Association for Supporting Contemporary Life (Çagdas Yasam Destekleme Dernegi [CYDD]). This year, we've changed the program's focus to support high school and college students while we continue to support our existing elementary and middle school students. Going forward, any new scholar will be a high school or university student to address the issue that 34 percent of girls don't attend high school, drop out rates are very high, and attendance in universities is very low in Turkey. For many of these girls, education ends prematurely due to poverty. Therefore, these scholarships are vital to keeping these girls in school.
We believe that every girl deserves the best possible chance at living her dream, but they can't do it alone. They need a helping hand along the way. That's why BTF has made it a priority to help children and promote gender equality in Turkey through educational scholarships. With your generous support, we're working towards bridging the gender gap in Turkey by helping women and girls achieve full potential and participation in every aspect of our society.
Over the past three years, we have been amazed at how quickly the BTF's Girls' Empowerment Scholarship Program has grown, and how much good it has done. We believe that the best is yet to come and we have big plans for 2014. Next academic year, we wish to expand the scholarship program to support 100 deserving young women and girls to help them get an education so that they can be productive members of their communities.
We believe that, with your support, there are no limits to what we can achieve together. And in 2014, as we expand our program to support more girls, we will need your help more than ever. There's no better time to lend your support for the work ahead. Please join us as we continue to build a better world and a brighter future for girls in rural Turkey. We can't do this important work without you.
Can you help us kick off 2014 stronger than ever? Please SPONSOR a student and help her rise out of poverty and give her hope for a better future by visiting: http://goto.gg/9853.
We wish you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy New Year and extend our gratitude from everyone at BTF.
Very Truly Yours,
Bridge to Türkiye Fund
TweetOctober 11 is the UN's International Day of the Girl Child
The International Day of the Girl Child (IDGC) is just around the corner (October 11th) and your friends at Bridge to Turkiye Fund (BTF) would like to call your attention to the challenges and barriers to girls' education from around the world and particularly in Turkey to commemorate the Day. The IDGC was declared by the United Nations in 2012 to recognize girls' rights globally and support action to address discrimination.
According to World Bank, in Turkey, the educational system does not provide enough access for the economically vulnerable rural girls, particularly for secondary education. The existing distributional gap between urbanized and rural Turkey, and between men and women, will not be eradicated unless there is truly equal educational opportunity for all Turkish children. In Eastern and Southeastern Turkey, over 45 percent of girls are illiterate. For many girls, especially those from marginalized communities, education continues to remain a distant dream due to various reasons — distance from home to school, finances, social and cultural barriers and so on. As BTF, we have pledged to do our part in eliminating economics as a barrier in getting an education for socio-economically disadvantaged girls in rural Turkey.
With continued interest and support from donors like you, in 2013-14 educational year, BTF aims to expand its program to provide scholarships to 50+ marginalized young women and adolescent girls from rural Turkiye. In collaboration with our trusted partner in Turkey: Cagdas Yasimi Destekleme Dernegi (CYDD-Association for Support of Contemporary Living), we are in the process of identifying additional girls who will qualify for BTF's Girls' Empowerment scholarships. Exact number of students will be provided in the next report.
We are happy to announce that one of our scholars (G.K.) supported by this program has graduated from law school and aspires to be a judge. We are certain that G.K. will make a difference in her community and for Turkish society.
You, too, can take part in transforming a girl's life! Come join us and imagine for a second…
… a world where girls are offered the equal educational opportunities as boys are…
… a world where girls are not forced to get married at an early age; and they could live their childhood…
… a world where girls are given the equal opportunity to reach their full potential…
So, partner with us in creating such world! Because when you educate a girl, you can break cycles of poverty and illiteracy in just one generation.
Remember: big changes start small. Contribute as much as you can, become a sponsor, spread the word, and be a part of the change. Educating girls is smart for all of us!
We can't thank you enough for your continued support.

I am going down. The ground beneath me is giving out, my feet are slipping, and I'm carrying a box marked fragile. My trainer shouts: "Eyes forward—get your footing back!" But it's too late.
The slick floor is meant to simulate an icy sidewalk, one of the many stations here that new UPS drivers must master during a week of training at the company's new boot camp in Landover.
In front of the training facility is a flagpole, stars and stripes on top; below is a smaller flag of that familiar deep brown. Tom Conard, the facility's manager, greets me at the door: "Welcome to Integrad."
The wide-open space in front of us resembles a car showroom with its bright lights and white walls. There are posters with such titles as "Eight Keys to Lifting and Lowering." In the middle of the floor are UPS trucks with clear siding. Would-be drivers sort the packages inside while a trainer stands by with a stopwatch. Other driver candidates pull hand carts up fake curbs and knock on fake doors. "Hello—UPS!" they shout. They drop off fake packages, walk away, then do it again.
I hear a rubbery screech and the clang of metal. I look around the corner of a truck and see a man in a full-body harness walking cautiously. His heel gives out, and he tumbles backward before being caught by the harness. I watch him dangle in the air.
"That's the slips-and-falls track," says Conard. "A fan favorite. Don't worry—you'll get your shot a little later."
But first, he says, is something a little easier. They call it the "on/off car." It's a truck with sensors on the handrails, the step, and the floor that calculate the weight you're putting on your legs when disembarking.
Perhaps even more dangerous than an icy sidewalk is the repetitive stressing of a driver's joints. This station shows the candidates how much extra weight they take on when not abiding by the "three points of contact" rule.
Conard demonstrates. Point number one: hand on the handrail. Number two: left foot on the bottom step. Number three: right foot on the ground. Distribute your weight across these three points. "In other words," says Conard, "don't just hop off."
I give it a try. Without the three points of contact, my 150-pound body hits the ground with 237 pounds of force. I try again, gripping the handrail, one foot on the step and the other carefully reaching the ground. This time: 140 pounds.
Beside the force-floor station is a large poster with a series of calculations: Without three points of contact, a 170-pound driver will exert 136 extra pounds with each stop. At 105 stops a day, that's 14,280 extra pounds a day. Next to the 14,280 number is a picture of three Ford F-150 trucks.
The chart multiplies this number by times per week, per month, per year, up through a 20-year career: 74,256,000 extra pounds. Below this is a picture of a cruise ship.
The poster is my first brush with the "numbers culture" at UPS, an obsession with measurements, timetables, stopwatches. The company prides itself on its adherence to a set of guidelines: arithmetically timed routes, methodical memorization. Unapologetic micromanagement.
This culture is outlined in the company's "340 Methods," which date to the 1920s and tell drivers the most efficient way to do just about anything. (There now are more than 340.) Such as buckling your seat belt with your left hand while starting the ignition with your right. And beeping your horn every three seconds when backing up for safety.
Integrad was created to preserve the 340 Methods the company has relied on for decades. For a while, they were in danger.
