This thread has some relevant background, though it doesn't look like there's a solution. I found it in perlbug as well, it's a Windows 2003 specific bug, and appears to still be an open issue. Update: Perhaps the alarm() or ualarm() functions in Time::HiRes will allow you to work around the issue?

In Season 2 of Netflix's hit prison series, Danielle Brooks played a very different version of the dancing, Harry Potter-loving Taystee that fans had come to love — and that was all thanks to the introduction of Vee. The actress breaks down the complex mother-daughter relationship for BuzzFeed. SPOILER ALERT!
Like, the return of the screwdriver. Season 2 goes up on Netflix on Friday.
We still have three months to go until we can binge on new OITNB episodes on Netflix, but these photos should give a taste of what's to come.

When great television collides.

I'm adding a new attribute to customers. But when I try to read it I get the Error:
Failed to load node from config.
The Error is raised in /var/www/vinai/netzarbeiter.de/ot/htdocs/app/code/core/Mage/Eav/Model/Entity/Attribute/Source/Config.php, where $this->_configNodePath is not set.
Where do I have to continue to add to?
Here is how I added the attribute (sql/customeractivation_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php):
<?php$read = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');// load id for customer entity$eid = $read->fetchRow("select entity_type_id from {$this->getTable('eav_entity_type')} where entity_type_code = 'customer'");$customer_type_id = $eid['entity_type_id'];$installer = $this;$installer->startSetup();$c = array( 'entity_type_id' => $customer_type_id, 'attribute_code' => 'customer_activated', 'backend_type' => 'int', 'frontend_input' => 'boolean', 'is_global' => 1, 'is_visible' => 0, 'is_required' => 1, 'is_user_defined' => 1,);// save attribute$attribute = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute();$attribute->loadByCode($c['entity_type_id'], $c['attribute_code']) ->setStoreId(0) ->addData($c);$attribute->save();$installer->endSetup();
Here is my test code, called using php-cli:
#!/usr/bin/php<?phpchdir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../../../..');require_once 'app/Mage.php';umask(0);error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);Mage::app();$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer');$customer->loadByEmail('firstname.lastname@example.com');$attributes = $customer->getAttributes();foreach ($attributes as $attribute) { printf("%s > ", $attribute->getName()); try { $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer); var_dump($value); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage() . "\n"; $customer->setData($attribute->getName(), '1'); printf("new value for %s: %s\n", $attribute->getName(), $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer)); }}
What do Ii have to do next?
Lost, Vinai
My example uses a static in the eav model, see http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/15497/
Hi DraconPern, thanks for your reply. I'm getting further here, but have stumbled over an odd behaviour that might be related to why you can't install the patch before the installation.
Here is my revised test code (it now cycles through all customers and prints out only the new customer attribute):
#!/usr/bin/php<?phpchdir(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../../../..');require_once 'app/Mage.php';umask(0);error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);Mage::app();$customers = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->getCollection();$customers->load();foreach ($customers as $id => $customer) { if (! $customer || ! $customer->getId()) { echo "ERROR: unable to load customer with id $id\n"; continue; } $attribute = $customer->getAttribute('customer_activated'); printf("Customer entity id: %d\n", $customer->getId()); printf("%s > ", $attribute->getName()); try { $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer); var_dump($value); } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage() . "\n"; //$customer->setData($attribute->getName(), '0'); //printf("new value for %s: \"%s\"\n", $attribute->getName(), $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer)); } echo "\n-------------------------------------------------\n\n";}
Here is the output:
$ ./test.phpCustomer entity id: 2customer_activated > Failed to load node from config.-------------------------------------------------Customer entity id: 3customer_activated > string(2) "No"-------------------------------------------------Customer entity id: 5customer_activated > string(2) "No"-------------------------------------------------
The loading of the first customer always brings this error. If I delete the first customer using the adminhtml interface, the error occurs on the next first customer (in this case the one with the id 3).
Has anybody got an explanation for this strange behaviour? I can't find a reason in the db tables or in the code.
Thanks, Vinai
Hum.. it should be a seperate issue since my patch works with the first customer. btw, did you edit your setup.php file?
Yes, setup in sql/customeractivation_setup/mysql4-install-0.1.0.php works fine.
Small update: The first call to
try { $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer); } catch (Exception $e) { $value = "second try: " . $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($customer);}var_dump($value);
*sigh* time to look at when the model loads this "config" nodes…
Strange. Vinai
OMG, a reply to a thread after 5 years ^^
OK, a bit of background. The error message is part of the source model class Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Config This class can't be used on its own, it always has to be extended, and the extending source model class only needs to set the $_configNodePath property to where the options are stored in the configuration, and the superclass will then do the rest.
The probably cause is that this class is set as the default source model in Mage_Eav_Model_Entity, and returned by Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Abstract::getSource() if no source model is set on a select or multi select frontend_input attribute.
So the first thing to do would be to check that all your (multi)select attributes of customers on your site have a source model defined.
If that isn't the reason, then probably the answer is that you are using a source model for a customer attribute which extends from Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Attribute_Source_Config, but doesn't point $_configNodePath to a valid configuration node. To fix it, check all customer source models if the extend from eav/entity_attribute_source_config, and if so, if the specified xpath is valid.
Hope that helps, Vinai
Vinai, I don't know if this is the same situation, but I have a customer database that I am trying to export and I either get Failed to load node from config or I get 0 records?

Saint Valentine
in Religion
Rebroadcast of the long running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour", a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org
Saint Valentine -- Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith ineffectual, commanded him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole to his memory, which for a long time gave name to the gate now called Porta del Popolo, formerly, Porta Valetini. The greatest part of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as that of an illustrious martyr in the sacramentary of St. Gregory, the Roman Missal of Thomasius, in the calendar of F. Fronto and that of Allatius, in Bede, Usuard, Ado, Notker and all other martyrologies on this day. To abolish the heathens lewd superstitious custom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honor of their goddess Februata Juno, on the fifteenth of this month, several zealous pastors substituted the names of saints in billets given on this day.

10 Crosby Derek Lam Resort 2013
Molly Ringwald's character in Pretty in Pink inspired Derek Lam's Resort 2013 collection for his year-old line, 10 Crosby. So it makes sense that Lam would hire flame-haired model Sara Blomqvist to star in the lookbook for the lineup, which depicts what seems to be a glamorous trip back from the corner store. Accessorized almost exclusively by plastic and paper grocery bags bearing the 10 Crosby logo, Blomqvist wears Lam's signature silk pajamas, along with a few borrowed-from-the-boys pieces like a double-breasted blazer and an icy-blue collarless dress shirt with black sleeves. Ringwald's '80s influence is felt in the pleasantly discordant mix of patterns and colors — a red plaid shirt paired with blue-, black-, and white-striped pants, for example, and a plaid blazer over a white shirt and pleated skirt.

Additional Location Information
Discover Mannebach and local activities:
* Hiking in the Hunsrück will present you with lots of pictures and very good stories with the unique hiking area.
* Only 20 minutes walking time away from the dream of Mannebach Baybachklamm loop.
* The dream loop has been certified by the German Hiking Institute with 84 experience points and ranks among the top four ways in Germany. He is one of the 2 most beautiful hiking trails in Rheinland Pfalz and the most beautiful trail in the Hunsrück.
* Of Mannebach you hike about the switch to the Schmausemühle Baybachtal. Here you have the option to stop. Now it's back on the Hunsrück heights for farmed Grieshof, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Hunsrück heights. From here you go up a notch across the open field by the place to Mermuth Daubisbergermühle in Ehrbachtal with her still-powered water wheel.
* Here begins the most romantic part of the way the Ehrbach. The path is partially carved into the rock, leads over some bridges, past boulders and steep slopes to Eckmühle. You follow the Ehrbach towards Moselle by Ehrenburger valley. A path leads from here to the mighty Ehrenburg. In the castle there is a restaurant, and it will be presented on Sundays from Easter to October jousting. At the end of the hike of 25 km you reach Brodenbach on the Mosel. From here we will pick you at the car again. The exchange will take you to Steffenshof and from there to the romantic Baybachtal. You walk down creek below the castle Waldeck towards Mosel.
* The abwechlungsreiche carry on along on shallow banks along and then passing on steep slopes. Often it is built into the rock, so stout footwear is recommended. Ancient caves are relics from the time when it was still the most well-known on the borders of the region Hunsrückschiefer degraded. It is also worth a visit to Castle Waldeck. Back down at the creek within the 15 km is the Restaurant "Forellenzucht" serving fish specialties from our own breeding.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Read on below for answers to some of the top questions we received during the webinar:
Why should I link my AdWords and Google Analytics accounts?
Linking your AdWords and Google Analytics accounts is an important practice to ensure the two measurement tools can work together to help you get the most from your advertising. The bottom line is that linking Analytics and AdWords gives you powerful information that can tell you where you should be spending more or less based on real ROI data. When you link accounts, the data can flow both ways – from Google Analytics to AdWords (for example, engagement metrics or remarketing lists), and from AdWords to Google Analytics (for example your AdWords cost data). In particular, you can take advantage of powerful features such as:
We covered this topic in detail during the webinar, so watch the video above to learn more.
Is it possible to link a My Client Center (MCC) account to Google Analytics?
At this time it's not possible to link an MCC to Google Analytics. Each individual AdWords account within an MCC needs to be linked to the appropriate Google Analytics property. Learn more here.
How do I import Google Analytics engagement metrics into AdWords?
The process for importing the metrics is straightforward, but it's important to note that there are a couple of additional steps needed beyond linking the AdWords and Analytics account. The full set of instructions can be found here.
I have noticed discrepancies between the data in my AdWords and Google Analytics accounts, do you know why?
AdWords and Google Analytics differ in some very important ways regarding how they measure and report on data. It's important to understand these key differences, which are outlined here. Additionally, there are key differences between AdWords Conversion Tracking and Google Analytics, which are covered in detail here.
Can someone help me get more support with AdWords and Google Analytics?
Yes, Google partners with a global network of certified partners to help. For AdWords, you can get support directly from Google or you can work with a Google Certified Partner to help with your AdWords management. You can learn more about both of those options here. If you're looking for help with Google Analytics, you can tap into our global network of Google Analytics Certified Partners, who offer paid services for anything from Google Analytics tag implementation to product training to more strategic support. Learn more here.
What is a tag?
Tags are tiny bits of website code that let you measure traffic and visitor behavior, understand the impact of online advertising and social channels, use remarketing and audience-based marketing, test and improve your site, and more. The tags we mentioned in the webinar are AdWords Conversion Tracking and Google Analytics. These both help you understand the performance of your digital campaigns. While AdWords tracks the performance of your Google AdWords campaigns, Google Analytics tracks the performance of any traffic to your website — such as from email marketing campaigns or social media. You can learn more about how they're different here and through some of the content in the webinar.
What is a conversion?
A conversion is an action that a customer takes on your website that has value to your business, such as a purchase, a sign-up, or a view of a key page. These actions are called conversions because a customer's click translated — or converted — to business. Think of it as the cha-ching! from your cash register. A conversion happens when someone clicks your ad and then does something that's valuable to your business, such as an online purchase or a call to your business from a mobile phone. Conversions help you understand how much value your ads bring to your business. You can read more here.

Date: May 13, 2014 National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA News Release For Immediate Release: May 13, 2014 Release No.: 2014-27 Contact: Douglas Nielsen, NDOW, 702-486-5127 x 3500; Christie Vanover, NPS, 702-293-8691 LAS VEGAS – The Nevada Department of Wildlife and the National Park Service have teamed up to provide boaters with a lakeside option for removing aquatic invasive species, such as quagga mussels from their vessels. This no-cost service includes both a vessel inspection and a hot-water wash, and is made possible by financial grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Funding from those grants enabled the Park Service to install three stationary AIS (Aquatic Invasive Species) removal stations within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and NDOW to provide the personnel to staff them. These wash/cleaning stations can be found at the Hemenway launch ramp and Callville Bay Marina at Lake Mead, and Cottonwood Cove at Lake Mohave. In addition, the two agencies each have a portable unit that can be used where needed. To mark the official grand opening of the AIS removal stations, representatives from NDOW, the Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, May 17 at the Hemenway station. NDOW Director Tony Wasley and Lake Mead Superintendant William "Bill" Dickinson are expected to attend. Quagga mussels were first discovered at Lake Mead in Jan. 2007. Since then their presence has been confirmed throughout the Lower Colorado River System and in other waters. Since eradication of the invasive species is not possible at this point, it is important that boaters and other recreationists take steps to prevent the spread of quagga mussels between waterways. The same is true for other invasive species such as water milfoil. "Quagga mussels can and have caused extensive damage to water intake systems as well as boats used for recreation and industry wherever the mussels are found. The most important thing we each can do is take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of quagga mussels between waterways," said Karen Vargas, Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator for NDOW. "Boaters need to clean, drain and dry their boats. These AIS removal stations will provide a place for them to do just that, and best of all it is free." During the summer boating season both the Hemenway and Callville Bay removal stations will be open seven days each week while the Cottonwood Cove station will be open only Wednesday through Sunday. The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW's wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen's license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org. -NPS- |

EVTN Announces Record Sales And Order Backlog With Forecasts Of Revenue Acceleration Through Q1 And Q2 Of 2011
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- I am writing to you at a time when I believe our company is on the cusp of a new and exciting era of growth. It promises to be unlike any period in our company's history, as our past achievements in research and development are rewarded by growing commercial demand for our proprietary Voraxial® technology. Our focus on both product and market development should provide us with a foundation for continuing revenue growth. An increasing pace of orders and inquires from major corporations along with invitations to present the Voraxial® technology at prestigious industry events, are evidence of the emergence of EVTN's Voraxial Separators as an accepted solution in the multi-billion dollar separation industry.
In the past three years we have successfully transitioned from an R&D company to a revenue generating company. During this period our revenues have gradually increased as awareness of the technology grew. Although our fiscal year 2010 financials have not been finalized, we estimate over a 35% increase in revenues from our 2009 fiscal year. Revenues in 2010 were primarily derived from the oil & gas exploration and production industry with additional revenues from the mining, and oil spill markets.
This revenue growth is accelerating in 2011 as supported by purchase orders already received and customer requirements under discussion. Again, the revenues in the upcoming year are primarily derived from the oil & gas exploration and production market. We are forecasting a 250-300% increase in revenues for fiscal year 2011 as compared to 2010. In fact, our current order backlog is already 150% greater than our revenues for the entire 2010 fiscal year. With the forecasted increase in revenues, we expect margin expansion that will result in profitability in 2011. Based on the inquiries and discussions we are currently having with oil companies, oil service companies and our representatives, we believe our revenues will continue increasing year over year in 2012.

5 Stars!!!
Once again, Shoshanna has delivered a delightful erotic treat for erotica lovers. Gripping and well-paced, I read the whole tale in one sitting. This page-turner kept me wondering whch parts from the classic fairy tale would play out and which parts were the reimagined version. Well, Shoshanna did a fine job keeping me guessing. I was hooked to the very last sentence.
Besides the obvious stars in the story, I found the other characters just as amusing. The constable and his wife served as comic relief for me—they were so serious about their jobs yet perfectly opposed to Belle's father's desires. Although their convincing roles were quickly drawn up and integral to the rest of the story, Shoshanna has a way of keeping readers engaged in the star characters with breathtaking suspense.
Above all else, I love Shoshanna's books because all the hot-as-hell book boyfriends are respectful and act on consent. So sex with these dominant boyfriends stays in the realm of sexy—even though this book boyfriend happens to be the Beast and likes his sex kinky. By the end of the book, *you'd* want to bed the Beast!
Beauty was also a great heroine in that she showed concern for people, fought with her inner demons (or beasts) and stood her ground when it mattered. She was the perfect balance between the traditional devout nurturer and the modern independent woman who could fend for herself. Shoshanna's reimagined tale is far more gratifying than its predecessors in that readers get permission to experience a sexual being, a sexual Beauty, with a sexy, kinky Beast.
Overall, I highly recommend this book. The plot is fresh, the characters convincing, the sex steamy, plus there's the happily ever after I've come to expect from Shoshanna's works. I'd say, snuggle up warm under the covers, download the ebook or curl up with the paperback and enjoy a warm night before diving into that chilly stormy night when Beast came into being...
I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Description This invention was made with government support under Contract Number HR0011-04-C-0086, awarded by the DARPA. The Government has certain rights in the invention. The invention relates generally to the field of ultrasound and nonlinear acoustics. More particularly, in various embodiments, the invention relates to the generation of hyper-directional sound beams and to steering the hyper-directional sound beams to a desired location. There are a number of different circumstances in which it is desirable to deliver a tightly focused sound beam to a particular location. One useful application is, for example, in advertising to prevent interference and confusion for listeners who hear mixed signals from different broadcasting sources. Higher power sound beams could be used, for example, for public announcements by targeting certain locations or groups of people during demonstrations or open air events. Sound beams with even higher power could be employed to induce physical discomfort in a person or to cause damage in livestock and property. Hyper-directional sound beams can be produced by driving an acoustic source, such as a single acoustic transducer or an array of acoustic transducers, with a signal consisting of a high-frequency (ultrasonic) carrier wave that is modulated with a low-frequency sound signal. The high-frequency component of the sound wave is absorbed within a short distance from the acoustic source due to self-demodulation on passage through the transmission medium, such as air, leaving only a low-frequency waveform that is related to the modulation signal and that propagates at the speed of sound within the beam defined by the high-frequency signal. The sound beams produced by the above technique may be focused, steered or projected in a defined area or direction, for example, by rotating or oscillating the acoustic transducer or by making use of digital beam-forming techniques employing phased arrays. The high-frequency audio signal is also not audible prior to demodulation. While the foregoing arrangements are adequate for a number of applications, there is still a need for a method and system able to efficiently generate a high-power hyper-directional sound beam, and more particularly a sound beam, which produces a time-averaged non-zero sound pressure gradient and a time-averaged non-zero sound pressure force field at a location of a stationary or moving object to exert a net force on the object. The invention addresses the deficiencies of the prior art by, in various embodiments, providing methods and systems for generating a high-power, hyper-directional sound beam and for controllably steering the sound beam to produce a pressure force field at a location of a stationary or moving object, which can exert a net force on the object. According to one aspect, the invention provides a directional sound projector with a dielectric sound radiator having a base, a dielectric layer disposed on the base, and a conductive layer disposed on the dielectric layer. The sound radiator has a mechanical resonance frequency in an ultrasonic frequency range. The directional sound projector further includes a drive circuit, which applies a drive voltage between the base and the conductive layer for driving the sound radiator at a drive frequency within a range of frequencies including one half of the mechanical resonance frequency. The sound projector also includes a modulator for modulating the drive voltage with a modulation signal having a modulation frequency in an audible frequency range. According to another aspect, the invention provides a system for applying a unidirectional pressure gradient to an object. The system includes a sound projector producing a directional low frequency sound beam that is self-demodulated from an ultrasonic carrier signal, a beam steering device that steers the directional beam toward the object, and a controller that controls the beam steering device to cause the sound projector to apply a pressure gradient to the object. According to yet another aspect, the invention provides a method of applying a unidirectional pressure gradient across an object by generating an ultrasonic carrier signal, modulating the carrier signal with a low frequency signal, applying the modulated carrier signal to a sound projector, and steering the sound projector alternatingly towards opposing sides of the object at a frequency that depends on the frequency of the low frequency signal. Embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following features. The audible frequency range may encompass frequencies between about 0.1 Hz and about 20 kHz, or between about 1 Hz and about 10 kHz, or between about 10 Hz and about 500 Hz. The sound projector may include a detector coupled to the sound radiator for generating a feedback signal indicative of the mechanical resonance frequency. It may also include a controller for receiving the feedback signal and controlling the drive circuit to apply the drive frequency at one half of the mechanical resonance frequency. The sound projector may include a steering device for changing the orientation of the sound projector, and/or an array of sound transducers, with the beam steering device changing, for example, the phase of modulation signals applied to the transducers. According to one feature, the object to which the sound pressure is applied is moving on a trajectory relative to the sound projector, and the controller controls the beam steering device based on the object's measured trajectory. In another embodiment, the pressure gradient across the object is substantially unidirectional with a direction that is substantially constant over a predetermined period of time. In one configuration, to apply the pressure gradient across the object, the sound projector is synchronized with movement of the moving object and steered in alternating directions with a frequency that is approximately twice the frequency of the low frequency signal, corrected for the speed of the moving object. Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of illustrative embodiments and from the claims. These and other features and advantages of the invention will be more fully understood by the following illustrative description with reference to the appended drawings, in which like elements are labeled with like reference designations and which may not be to scale. The invention, in various embodiments, provides systems, methods and devices for efficiently producing a hyper-directional, high-intensity sound beam, and more particularly systems, methods and devices that employ a hyper-directional sound beam to exert a net force on an object. The performance of the exemplary sound projector 10 can be calculated from equations of motion for the mechanical components and from electrical mesh equations for the projector connected in series with a fixed inductor (not shown) for improving the input drive power factor. The equations of motion of the top sheet 16 can be written in terms of the instantaneous thickness x of the dielectric sheet 14, which is expands and contracts due to the electrostatic force generated between the base 12 and the top layer 16. Without an applied electric charge, x=td. Hyper-directional audible sound beams can be generated by modulating the high-frequency ultrasonic drive voltage VAC (carrier signal), which is tuned to excite a mechanical resonance in the projector 10, with a periodic low-frequency envelope function E(t) in the range of, for example, several Hz to several hundred Hz, generating a primary axial beam with a pressure field p(r, 0, t) of With E(t) varying slowly in comparison with sin(ω0t) and with strong absorption in the atmosphere (α0�z0>1), an approximate quasi-linear solution for the axial pressure in the beam is given by The far-field pressure pulses then have a waveform proportional to the second derivative of the square of the envelope function, i.e.
The following examples provide design parameters for a dielectric sound projector 10, which when driven by a carrier signal that excites a mechanical resonance of the projector, can produce a sound pressure of between about 3 kPa and about 5 kPa. The two exemplary sound projectors share the following common parameters: Currently available dielectric materials have quality factors of Qm=10 or less. Neoprene rubber with an elastic modulus of about 8.6 MPa and a breakdown field strength of 20 MV/cm can be used as a dielectric material in layer 14. With a drive voltage V0=2000 Volt, a projector capacitance of about 350 nF, and an inductance of about 0.88 mH, the projector operates at a maximum dielectric strength of about 4 MV/cm, i.e., well below the breakdown field. As mentioned above, the overall electro-acoustic power conversion efficiency increases with the quality factor Qm. It has been observed that, for the same quality factor Qm=100, the envelope self-modulation can be substantially eliminated by lowering the drive voltage to V0=200 V. However, lowering the drive voltage also reduces the sound pressure amplitude from about 3 kPa in Systems with a large quality factor Qm may require that the frequency and phase of the ultrasonic drive signal be precisely tuned to the mechanical resonance of the system and maintained during operation. It may therefore be necessary to monitor the motion of the driven electro-acoustic transducer and use the monitored signal as feedback to control the drive signal. In one application, hyper-directional sound beams can be directed to specific areas, for example, in public settings to convey advertising and informational material to a limited audience. High intensity hyper-directional sound beams, such as sound beams produced with the illustrative sound projector 10 of In another application, high intensity hyper-directional sound beams can be used to subject a target to a pressure gradient and thereby a force. For example, a peak pressure of about 170 Pa can be produced at a distance of 30 m from the sound projector 10 operating at or near resonance at a carrier frequency of ω0=10 kHz and an envelope modulation frequency of ωE=85 Hz. The wavelength of this radiation is equal to 8 m, which is much larger than the dimensions of the human body. The resulting force on the body, assuming a volume of 1 m3, is equal to the product of pressure gradient times the volume, or about 520 N, which would induce significant discomfort in the person. In yet another application depicted in The direction and timing of the hyper-directional sound beam emanating from the sound projector 64 must be synchronized with the movement of the target. The sound projector 64 steering angle θ needed to radiate the positive pressure phase to one side and the negative pressure phase to the other side of the target 62 a increases with time because the target locations 62 b, 62 c, 62 d are getting closer to the sound projector 64. Assuming that the target is detected at time τ=0 at a distance R0 and moves toward the sound projector 64 with a velocity V. The steering angle θ(τ) then becomes: As shown in It will be understood that mechanical beam steering or phased-array beam steering can be used separately or in combination. As also seen in While the invention has been disclosed in connection with the preferred embodiments shown and described in detail, various modifications and improvements may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. By way of example, although the illustrative embodiments have been described in conjunction with applying a net pressure to a stationary or moving object, this need not be the case. Instead, the hyper-directional sound beams may be used for non-lethal crowd control while avoiding collateral damage to bystanders. Moreover, because the method and systems rely on self-demodulation of an ultrasonic sound beam, the sound appears to emanate from empty space, making it difficult to detect the location of the sound projector. Accordingly, the spirit and scope of the present invention is to be limited only by the following claims. Patent Citations

If you need a good laugh...
I felt kind of bad laughing at this guy, but he was laughing and his friends were laughing, and well...I just had tears running down my cheeks listening to them. Warning: most of this is in German (I think!) but there are a few (loud!) words in English. Those just happen to be a couple of cuss words. So if you watch this around your kids, or at work, you might want to have the sound turned really low, or off. |

New Administrator At Fayetteville Veterans Home
A former nursing home owner is the new administrator of the Fayetteville Veterans Home.
The Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs say Kriss Schaffer has been hired to replace Sarah Robinson.
Robinson was fired in November after a resident escaped the home. The veterans home was also cited four times in 2013 by the Office of Long Term Care - including once for neglect in the death of a patient and another time for the broken arm of a patient.
Schaffer told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that he will be more visible in the facility - but said he can't address other issues until he starts to work and learns what is going on.
Schaffer is the former co-owner and the operator of Greenhurst Nursing Center in Charleston.

just bought a 1.9 TDI SE in Aqua blue - after having owned an S3 in Dolphin with polished mirrors, I think the A6 would benefit from similar polished aluminium mirrors. my question is - are these available & what are the part nos, best place to buy, etc.any advice gladly received.
I saw some for sale in the local Audi dealer (in fact im going there this morning so ill ask for the part number) I think they were something silly like £600 a pair!!! They crop up from time to time on ebay but make sure that if you do bid on some that they are actually the metal ones not the plastic coloured ones!

Dominant Neurodegenerative Diease Genetic diseases that are accompanied by central nervous system involvement are often fatal. Among these are the autosomal dominant neurogenetic diseases caused by nucleotide repeat expansion. For example, Huntington's Disease (HD) and spino-cerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) are caused by expansion of a tract of CAGs encoding glutamine. Treatments for these disorders are currently limited to symptomatic intervention. RNA interference (RNAi) is a method for inhibiting target gene expression and provides a unique tool for therapy by attacking the fundamental problem directly.
RNAi is a mechanism by which small inhibitory RNAs can impart repressive activity on gene expression. It is well established that interference of gene expression can occur in plant and mammalian cells either prior to transcription or post-transcriptionally. In my lab we co-opt this naturally occurring system to decrease protein expression of disease causing genes. In our case, the target cells are cells in the brain and the mRNAs we wish to silence are encoded from genes that when mutant, cause disease.
In our laboratory, we have tested RNAi strategies for HD, SCA1, SCA6 and SCA7 by creating short hairpin RNAs (shRNA) or artificial microRNAs targeting the mRNA encoded by the disease causing gene. Our laboratory uses adeno-associated virus (AAV) as a vehicle to deliver the RNAi therapy into, and expressed in, cells of the brain. We have tested the effectiveness of these RNAi therapies in reducing transcripts in vitro in various cell lines and in vivo in mouse models of the human diseases. We have also shown improvements in the symptoms in mouse model systems for SCA1 (1) and HD (3, 6). We are currently looking at ways to improve on the design, delivery, expression, and efficacy of these interfering RNAs in vivo. Next topic
