Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
17 Nov 2012 20:44 GMT | Sport, Formula One, US & Canada, United States
Sebastian Vettel did not let a new circuit distract him as he claimed his sixth pole of the season at the United States Grand Prix on Saturday.
Austin, which hosts its first race, is the venue of the German's 100th grand prix, where he is looking to secure his third world championship title.
Things are looking good for the current leader after his closest rival, Fernando Alonso, struggled during qualifying.
On Sunday, Vettel needs to out-score Alonso by 15 points to become the youngest triple champion in F1 history.
The steely resolve on his face over the past few weeks suggests he is not about to let his lead, or mojo, slip away.
The ever-improving Red Bull clocked a final best lap time of one minute and 35.657 seconds in the final seconds of a closely-fought hour of speed to leave nearest rival Lewis Hamilton adrift by a tenth of a second in his McLaren.Vettel's Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber was third fastest ahead of Romain Grosjean of Lotus, but the latter will have to drop five places because his team fitted a new gearbox to his car before the session.This all meant Spaniard Alonso, who qualified ninth, moved up to eighth on the grid for the penultimate race of the season.
Texan Star
It was Vettel's 36th pole of his remarkable career, and to mark the occasion, he added a Texan lone star to his helmet design."We're very pleased," said Vettel.
"It was extremely slippery to start with. The circuit is brand new and it takes a while to come in, but it was quite a lot of fun to slide a couple of corners"
F1 leader Sebastian Vettel
"We started on the right foot in first practice. It was extremely slippery to start with. The circuit is brand new and it takes a while to come in, but it was quite a lot of fun to slide a couple of corners."In the final section, I would have loved to have gone a bit quicker. It was a bit closer than I wanted, but it is fantastic for me to start on the front and on the clean side."Hamilton said: "I'm not really concerned about the first corner, I'm more concerned about being on the dirty side of the grid. "I did a launch there earlier and it was quite slippery. My aim is to get a good getaway. I don't want to get in the way of Sebastian's race, but I do want to win. I will try my best to get through the first turn cleanly."Webber, who starts third and may play an important role in defending Vettel's position, said: "I'm happy with qualifying. I was pretty happy with the last part of Q3."I had to manage a little problem with the car, but the two guys ahead of me were pretty quick and did very strong lap times.
"Overall, I'm happy to be third on the grid. We can have a strong grand prix from there. It's a great job by the team. We've got our eye on the constructors' championship and trying to put that to bed."

Dragon's Dogma
Loved Skyrim. Hated Dark Souls. Should I buy this?
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
I loved Skyrim and everything the game had to offer. For some reason Dark Souls just didn't seem fun to me. It felt clunky and I never got very far in the game. I am a huge fan of RPGs and was hoping this game would be something new and exciting to try out. So, would you recommend this to me?
'Nuff Said
Well, you're in a very interesting predicament.
Honestly, for everyone that continuously compares it to Skyrim, I laugh every time. They are so, so, so, so, so, so very different from each other.
In my honest opinion it's like saying Tetris and Bejeweled are similar.

you didn't like dark souls? that's crazy talk.
Today is the Tomorrow you were promised Yesterday
This is much more similar to Dark Souls than it is to Skyrim.
But it's also similar to Monster Hunter, and Devil May Cry and Shadow of the Colossus when it comes to combat.
I Loved Skyrim, hated Dark Souls, and I think Dragon's Dogma's a great game. So there's your answer.
You're clunky.
Yeah, you can't compare this to Skyrim. They're just too different.
Between Skyrim and Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma is closer to the latter, BUT I wouldn't say it's very similar to Dark Souls either. I understand what you mean by clunkiness. It's the same reason I was terrible at the Souls Series. Combat in Dragon's Dogma is more responsive, in my opinion, and you're undeniably more mobile. I find Dogma more enjoyable because it's faster-paced and more forgiving.
GT: KurtnKevin
Pawn: Bear, Fighter/Warrior
This is deffinitly Dark Souls meets Monster Hunter with a little bit of a Kotor/Dragon's Age mix with the whole pawn party thing.
I personally loved Morrowind, hated Skyrim, and loved Dark Souls and this games amazing, albeit a little repetetive.
For the record, the combat in this game isn't anywhere near as precise or intricate as Dark Souls. In this game you can button mash your way through it - is it fun? Sure - but if you tried to button mash through Dark Souls you will get completely owned - even at really high levels.
I loved Skyrim, never played Dark Souls, and I love Dragon's Dogma.
But it can't accurately be compared to Skyrim, despite both being RPGs. They're too different in terms of gameplay, dynamics, style and presentation that liking one doesn't necessarily mean you'll like the other. It's absolutely possible, but not guaranteed.
It'd kind of be like saying "I liked Mass Effect. Will I like Borderlands?", or "I liked The Waterboy. Will I like Talladega Nights?" or even "I liked Black Sabbath. Will I like Judas Priest?" Maybe. It's certainly possible, but they're different enough that it could go either way. It's the same with Skyrim and DD.
Are you suggesting that moon should get off his ass and write some stories? He's like the steven king of gamefaqs. - Sorbz

PURSON have joined forces with Spinefarm Records for a worldwide deal that will see second studio album, 'Desire's Magic Theatre', released this autumn in the wake of a number of high-profile festivals & shows, including Download in the UK.
The UK outfit – whose music touches a variety of realms, including folk, prog, psychedelic, gothic & classic rock, blending other-worldly romance with shadowy foreboding – are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches to 'Desire's Magic Theatre', which will be released under the Spinefarm / Machine Elf Records banner.
Says singer / guitarist / song-writer Rosalie Cunningham: "As I sit here in the control room at Gizzard Studios, the pride of East London, I'm excitedly realising that our second album has turned out to be everything I'd imagined and more!
"My world has been so consumed by it that I've barely been able to reflect on what it has become: a technicolour variety show, a playful display of the musical whims only briefly hinted at in our previous work; a psychedelic rock opera dedicated to our good friends Sarge Pepper and Zig Stardust.
"The twists in the tale have been carved out by the path we've taken over the last 12 months. It's been constantly shape-shifting and developing with all the wonderful experiences we've had.
"On behalf of the band, I give thanks to everyone who has bought a Purson record and been to our shows. Your continued support means everything… and you have our promise that the best is yet to come…"
Says Spinefarm Records General Manager UK, Dante Bonutto: "I've been following Purson since the early days of their career, and I've always considered the band something special; I like their vision, their theatricality, and their refusal to be corralled by a single musical genre. Purson really do have an expansive approach to their craft, and as a song-writer, Rosalie is a unique talent on the rise. In all ways, their future is bright, and I'm delighted that Spinefarm & Purson have now forged this fresh alliance..."
PURSON are also thrilled to confirm an appearance at this year's Download Festival, playing live on the hallowed ground of Donington Park for the first time – part of a run of European events and UK shows that kicked off in March…
"A phenomenal year beckons for us and we look forward to a schedule packed with live shows at a variety of venues including the spiritual home of rock – Donington Park. We are ecstatic to be playing at the mighty Download Festival!" – Rosalie Cunningham
The band– Cunningham, George Hudson (guitars), Justin Smith (bass) & Sam Shove (keyboards) – will once again meet up with KISS at Download, having opened for them on last year's KISS Kruise; Purson also rounded off 2014 with a nomination in the 'Limelight' category for new & emerging talent at the Classic Prog Awards, following which theyreleased (in November) the four-track 'In The Meantime' EP, mastered by John Davis from Metropolis (Zeppelin, U2, Lana Del Rey, etc.] The EP – along with their acclaimed debut album, 2013's 'The Circle and the Blue Door' – saw their colour-saturated tapestries of Sabbath and Beatles- tinged tales, evoking the sinister folkish English horror of the early '70s, celebrated by the likes of Classic Rock, Mojo, BBC 6Music, BBC Radio1, Metal Hammer, XFM and Kerrang!.

American Pie movie star THOMAS NICHOLAS is back with new full length album entitled 'Security' due for release on May 25th 2015 via PledgeMusic. Fans can already check out the first single to be taken from the forthcoming release 'Don't Stop' by clicking the link below:
Listen to the track on Soundcloud here:
Nicholas thought long and hard when it came to the process of launching his new album and decided that with PledgeMusic he could build a strong foundation for the release whilst also supporting a great cause, as PledgeMusic now offer the option to support a non profit organisation as part of your campaign.

As well as supporting this excellent cause the campaign will also offer numerous exclusive items that cannot be purchased anywhere else, including signed American Pie memorabilia and copies of the album on vinyl which is a format the band have never released music on before.

I'm looking to implement a tablet in my car. The Ideapad A1000 seems like a good alternative to some crappy chinesse no-name out there at a decent price.
But I'm woundering about the quality of the GPS? Is it good enough to use as a "in car" GPS or should I opt out for the A3000?

"Excellent overall product and price point." "We have always trusted in Sony and bought sony products," and "exceeds expectations," are all actual comments from Future Shop customer reviews when it comes to Sony products. The great reputation, and positive consumer experience are part of the reason why we want to focus on making you an amazing home theatre with Sony.
One thing you can expect to happen in 2015 is the arrival of Android TV, a smart TV platform developed by Google that aims to make a big difference compared to what's come out to date. I got a good look at what this platform has to offer and came away with some initial impressions.
One of the biggest complaints about 4K TV is not that it isn't the best video quality around. Up to now the biggest problem has been that there's nothing broadcast in true 4K to watch.
Things are changing, albeit slowly. Several of the major broadcasters and content providers are making a lot more content available, whether it's classic movies, or brand new must-see TV.

You know what's awesome? The Sony HDR-AZ1VR Mini POV Action Cam with Live View Remote. You know what sucks? Defective memory cards. I keep saying that in photography having two of something is like having one of it, because when things break having only one is like not having it at all. As such I don't have any of my video from the Sony Action Cam Mini, but I can tell you all about how it was to use. Interested? Keep reading.
Sony's RX line has expanded, welcoming the RX100 III to the family. The RX line appeals to photography buffs and professionals alike, putting a lot of photo power into a body that's svelte enough to carry in your pocket. This powerful new camera has just been announced, and you can pre-order it from Future Shop right now.
You're in a weird place: your smartphone takes snaps that can only be described as "alright" and your point and shoot isn't really fitting the bill. You want something easy – easy to handle, easy to use. You're not keen on a DSLR because they're a little more complex than you want (and you don't feel like carrying extra lenses with you) and you're looking for solid value for your dollar.
In short: you're looking for something like the Sony Cybershot DSC-H300. Let's take a look at it together.

If like me you've lived through the eighties then the name Walkman has a certain special meaning to you. Some may describe the Walkman as simply a portable cassette tape player but of course it means so much more than that. There was a long time where Walkman was synonymous with portable personal music players. If you saw someone with headphones on bobbing their head to some tunes, you would say that they were listening to their Walkman. Sony delivered portable personal audio so well that their brand was inexorably tied to the very concept of it. Since digital audio players became the norm we haven't heard much from Sony about the Walkman brand but now it's back with the NWZ-A17 Walkman to remind us all what we've been missing.
Music fans, on your mark. Ready, set, go! Here are two Sony wireless (Bluetooth) headphone sets that I recently I had the pleasure to test. They are the Sony MDR-ZX550BN and MDR-XB950BT products, each having a unique feature. The first one is equipped with an active noise reduction technology and the other has increase bass frequencies ("Extra Bass" is part of the name of the product).
The world of wireless speakers seems to be a rapidly evolving space with many people releasing new and interesting gadgets all the time. There always seems to be something new to see. I love seeing how each new wireless speaker offering manages to differentiate itself from the pack. Lately I've been playing around with Sony's SRS X9 Ultra Premium Hi-Res Bluetooth Speaker to see how it stacks up. I had the chance to spend a lot of time with the Sony SRS-X5 and SRS-X7 last year so this was a great opportunity to see what the higher tier offering looked like. I was a fan of the other models in the lineup when I got to spend some time with them so I was really curious if the upgrade to the X9 would be significant to make it worth considering. I know the lineup differentiates itself well from all the other wireless speakers on the market, but would the X9 differentiate itself significantly enough from the X7 and X5? I was excited to find out for myself.
I've been using Bluetooth speakers a lot lately. It's just so convenient being able to pipe sounds from any of my Bluetooth enabled gadgets over to a quality speaker for room-filling sound with nothing more than a tap. The latest models on the scene are Sony's new SRS-X5 and SRS-X7 Personal Audio Systems. These speakers both have similar outward appearances evocative of classic Sony design sensibilities yet beneath the surface you'll find some great audio technologies drawing on all of Sony's experience in the field. The result is clear, crisp, yet deep sounds that manage to maintain full-bodied fidelity whether turned down to a whisper, or turned up to rock the party.

Sony has been a leader in the consumer electronics industry for more than six decades. Their recipe for success is rooted into their dedication to product innovation and reliability. And that dedication is evident in their hugely popular lines of BRAVIA TVs, home theatre audio, Alpha DSLR cameras, VAIO laptops, and camcorders.
Sony BRAVIA TVs pack an array of cool technology that takes things to the next level - like the X-Reality Engine, which analyzes each pixel to produce the most detailed images possible. With a huge range of models - from the high-end XBR Series with displays as big as 80-inches to the value-oriented BX Series - there's a Sony TV for everyone. And combined with a large selection of Blu-ray players and home theatre systems, Sony offers the total home theatre solution.
Launched in 2006 to fierce and well-established competition, the Sony Alpha gave photographers of all abilities more ways to capture the moment. Since then, the Alpha from Sony cameras has established itself as a heavy hitter in the DSLR technology arena. Most recently, Sony's introduction of the NEX series of mirrorless cameras has given consumers many of the power and features available in a DSLR in a smaller, more convenient body that employs Sony's line of NEX lenses.
Incorporating advanced imaging technology, Sony Handycam camcorders have always been at the forefront of home recording. From its humble beginning as a Video8 format camcorder to its more recent high definition and 3D cameras with easy-to-use flash memory storage, the Handycam line is synonymous with high image quality and innovation.
Sony VAIO computers are engineered with the end users' experience in mind. With a range of exclusive technology, VAIO laptops and desktops stand apart from the competition. Features like Rapid Wake, which wakes the laptop from sleep mode in mere seconds make using the computer that much more seamless. Amazing power combined with subtle yet unique style make Sony laptops and VAIO PCs a clear winner.

Are blueberry bushes deer resistant
Are small blueberry bushes (1-2ft tall)deer resistant or will they destroy them? What about rabbits?
Small blueberry bushes are not deer resistant in heavily populated (by Deer) areas. If you want them to grow using fencing of any kind. If you want to harvest blueberries for your own use, then you need to use netting or chicken wire (poultry fencing (netting)) to keep the birds out.
I have 16 too tall (14'-16') BB bushes (deer browsing lower branches/leaves, they are all about 25 years old (deer didn't used to be a problem), now they are! So, I fenced 8 of them off (for the birds, using 2" by 4" wire mesh - 5' high) and the other 8 (for family consumption by building a framework covered with poultry netting top too! (chicken wire). I am also trying to prune them back ( both sets ) to a reasonable BB size ( about 6') but will have to take my time to do it (too much wood to remove at one time - I won't take out more than 1/3 per year!).
BB's are deer food ( and bird food ), birds are okay! Too many deer around me aren't!!
I have about 10 4-5 year old NJ blueberry bushes and deers do not bother them much. Once a while, you'll see some leaves eaten, but we have all kinds of wild life, rabbit, squirrel, fox, racoon, many... The bushes are not fenced.
During fruiting time, I net the bushes. This will prevent the birds get to them. Other animals do not want to mess with the net....

The stocks of both British-based banks, which have heavy emerging-markets biases, can climb by 10% to 20% over the next 12 months, although HSBC has the stronger hand to play.
HSBC (ticker: HBC) agreed to pay a $1.9 billion penalty, but that figure was significantly below some of the more bearish estimates of $4 billion to $5 billion. Standard Chartered (STAN.U.K.) took a $700 million hit. The settlements come at a time when banks are under heavy scrutiny from regulators around the world. Importantly, the fines are covered by loss provisions that both institutions already have booked. That means they can look at this experience as a painful lesson, dust themselves off, and get back to business.
HSBC's business-as-usual approach was illustrated a few days ahead of the settlement, with the disclosure that it is selling its 15.6% stake in Ping An Insurance 2318.HK 0.44052863436123346% Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. of China Ltd.

The investment in the Chinese insurer, which gave HSBC no control over strategy, was at odds with management's focus. Its exit should come as no surprise, and the $2.6 billion after-tax profit on the disposal will help boost the bank's core Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.7%, already a comfortable level.
HSBC's management has been winning plaudits from investors for its strategy, which focuses on low-risk businesses and reallocating capital to growth products and markets. It is also winding down its U.S. portfolio, which should boost its return on equity to more than 11% in 2013 from 8.5% in 2011, according to analysts at Bernstein Research.
In a sign that the strategy is paying off, profit more than doubled in the third quarter, to $5 billion. Cost-cutting is showing results, too, and should exceed the $3.5 billion target for 2012.
In contrast, Standard Chartered's 2012 profit before impairments is expected to grow at a high single-digit rate, year-on-year. The penalty that Standard Chartered agreed to pay will reduce its core Tier 1 capital ratio, which stood at 11.6% at the end of the first half, but the bank still will deliver a strong performance this year.
Its stock, which closed Friday at 14.99 British pounds ($24.23), trades at about 10 times forecast 2013 earnings of £1.48 per share, up from a forecast £1.31 in 2012. The shares have fallen about 10% from a 52-week high of £16.64 on worries about regulatory issues in the U.S., but they should retrace those losses in 2013, supported by a strong balance sheet and market-share gains.
HSBC's shares have gained almost 31% since the beginning of 2012, closing on Friday at £6.41 in London, while its American depositary receipts were trading at about $52 in New York. At those quotes, the shares fetch 10.5 times forecast 2013 earnings, which is pricey compared with some rivals but inexpensive on a historical basis. Citigroup C -0.3711662434069154% Citigroup Inc.

HSBC's A-plus credit rating, the highest among its peers, is reassuring for the bank's shareholders, as is a healthy dividend yield near 4%, which beats Standard Chartered's 3.2%. HSBC shares look likely to climb 15% to 20% in the next year. Analysts at Bernstein have an Overweight recommendation on the stock and a £7.50 price target.
Europe's banks aren't for everyone, but HSBC and Standard Chartered are among the best. Investors shouldn't lose at either bank, but HSBC's strategy makes it more attractive.

mylar film to help with heat retention
Hi, I hope this isn't too off-topic. I had the idea of using the mylar which is inexpensive to buy in rolls to cover the propagation house (it is small) on those REALLY cold nights but it is too flimsy and tears too easily. My question is, has anyone tried adhering the mylar film to a tarp with adhesive spray and then using it as a blanket and would there be any advantage over the tarp alone?
I use cheap mylar emergency blankets inside around my propagation chamber and it retains the heat from the fluorescent lights so well it reaches 90+ degrees if I don't watch it. The room is in the 60's. So, mylar certainly helps. Covering the mylar to give a cushion between the atmosphere and the area you want to keep warm will surely help. I bet multiple layers of mylar would work as well. I don't deal with the weather and the wind, so I am not sure how this translates to your scenario, but I can attest that mylar certainly retains heat. Even the cheap see through emergency blanket from a first aid or survival kit.
Had another thought...
Professors at TAMU have done research where having the greenhouse, or growing space, full of plants helps regulate temperature.
Also, space permitting, water works wonders. I know a farmer in Belville, TX that has a tunnel house made from single layer poly and they use 55 gallon metal drums full of water to keep things from freezing. The water releases heat in order to freeze. Sounds crazy, and won't keep you toasty, but might be the few degrees difference it takes to keep things from freezing.

VISION-ADDING DEVICE This application is a continuation-in-part of my earlier application Ser. No. 797,958, filed Feb. 10, 1969, now abandoned.
The present invention generally relates to improved devices for aiding human vision, to improved devices for filtering out harmful rays from the sun or other sources of light, and more particularly to flexible devices of this general type which are anchored or stabilized in the natural recesses or grooves of the skull and when not in use, are adapted to be stored in compact form.
Practically all eyeglasses now in use are composed of several different parts and several different materials. Thus the frames are made of metal or plastic, the lens of glass or plastic, the temple pieces of metal or plastic, etc. The latter are hinged to the frames by screws or the like which are frequently the points of least resistance so that they become loosened or fractured. The present method of stabilization or anchoring of eyeglasses is mainly by the inclusion of loops on the terminal posterior of the temple pieces which fit about the ears.
Storage of the currently used eyeglasses is another problem. In order to avoid breakage or distortion of the eyeglasses, rather large and sometimes rigid receptacles are needed which are cumbersome to store in the pocket or purse. Accordingly, improved devices which do not present the storage problems of conventional eyeglasses when not being worn are desired.
It is an object of the present invention to provide improved devices for aiding human vision. A further object is to provide eyeglasses composed of a one-piece flexible member, thus eliminating the use of multiple elements, such as frames, tem ple pieces, hinges, etc. Another object is to provide eyeglasses which are anchored or stabilized in natural recesses of the skull, close to the eyes, thus eliminating temple pieces. A still further object is to provide a flexible device which is capable of storage in compact form in a suitable small receptacle.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from reading the following specification and the associate drawings which illustrate various embodiments of the invention wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a device embodying various features of the invention, shown fitted in place on the head of a wearer;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the device as shown in FIG. 1 depicted in the form in which it takes when held immediately prior to being fitted in place on the head of a wearer;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the device as shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a composite view of the device as shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 in a condition for storage when it is not being worn, together with a suitable storage container;
FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment of a device somewhat similar to that as shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a side view of a human skull;
FIG. 7 is a front elevational view of another embodiment of a device showing various features of the invention;
FIG. 8 is a plan view of the device as shown in FIG. 7; FIG. 9 is a right side elevation of the device as shown in FIG.
FIG. 10 is a front elevational view of a variation of the device shown in FIG. 7, shown in its alternative inverted position on the head of the wearer;
FIG. 11 is a side view of the human head illustrating the device in its alternative position as shown in FIG. 10;
FIG. 12 is a fragmentary plan view of a variation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7;
FIG. 13 is a front elevational view of a fourth embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 14 is a plan view of the device shown in FIG. 13;
FIG. 15 is an elevational view of a fifth embodiment of the As illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, a device 11 is shown which is designed to serve the function of sunglasses. The device 11 constitutes an elongated flexible band 13 of thermoplastic material or the like which is proportioned to fit horizontally across the front of the human face as illustrated in FIG. 1. When the device is designed to serve the function of sunglasses, the material from which it is made should contain a sufficient amount of an appropriate pigment to filter out the bright and harmful rays of the sun or artificial light, thus reducing glare and discomfort to the eyes under conditions of exposure to bright sunlight or artificial light. In addition to being adapted for design to fulfill the sunglasses function, the device 11 might be made to provide a brightening efiect, as by using a bright yellow pigment. Such yellow-colored devices are used by skiers and other persons active in snow-covered terrain in order to give better definition of the landscape on a gray or overcast day.
The device 11 is an elongated one-piece, flexible member or band 13 that is formed with outer end or temple portions 15 and 17. The band 13 is preferably formed from a roll of thin, flexible thermoplastic material, and it is important that it retains its memory as a roll. As a result, whenever the band 13 is untensioned, it automatically coils itself in the shape of a hollow cylinder, as shown in FIG. 4. Accordingly, the self-coiling device 11 can easily be stored in a tubular container 19 that can be closed by snapon cap 21 or the like. Thus, when the device 11 is not being worn it can be simply slipped into the container 19 and conveniently stored in the pocket of the wearer. Instead of being made from a roll of thermoplastic material, the band 13 can be cut from a flat sheet and then heat-treated after cooling to provide the desired memory in the device 11.
When the device 13 is uncoiled for wearing, it takes the general shape shown in FIG. 2, as the user prepares to fit it upon his face. As shown, the user grasps the device near each of its temple portions 15 and 17 with the thumb and forefinger of both hands, unrolling the device to nearly its full length. At a location generally intermediate the ends, an upwardly extending indentation or bridge 23 is formed in the band 13 to accommodate and fit over the nose of the wearer, as shown in FIG. 1.
The rightand left-temple portions 15 and 17 have a lesser height than the main portion of the band, and the comers of the temple portions are rounded. As shown in FIG. 1, the band is of sufficient length to span the wearer's face and is dimensioned to be of sufficient height to extend vertically above and below the level of his eyes. Generally, the width of the band will be about two inches for adults and may be narrower for children, for example, about an inch wide. However, for cosmetic reasons the width of the band may be up to four inches or more.
The rightand left-temple portions 15 and 17 are dimensioned and shaped to fit in the fossae of the wearer behind the zygomatic process 27 which is formed by the zygomatic and frontal bones, 26 and 29 respectively, hereinafter referred to as the orbito-temporal fossae 25, as shown in FIG. 6. Generally, the temple portions 15, 17 should have a height between about one-half inch and about 2 inches in order to fit snugly and comfortably in the orbito-temporal fossae. Moreover, the curvature of the temple portions 15, 17, which results from the inherent memory provided by its method of manufacture, is such that each temporal portion extends over and resides just behind the zygomatic process 27, which is located just lateral of the orbit 30. The inherent resiliency and memory of the thermoplastic material insures that very slight pressure is maintained between the terminal portions and the sides of the wearer's head in the region of the orbito-temporal fossae, and in this manner, the device 11 is adequately secured to the wearer's head.
The construction of the device 11 inherently overcomes problems previously encountered when wearing sunglasses or spectacles which employed conventional temple pieces. The necessity for fitting temple pieces to the head and ears of the individual wearer is obviated as well as potential future problems of loose or broken temple hinges. However, it is considered important, from the standpoint of assuring both the comfort of the wearer and the stability of the device in place on the wearer, that the thermoplastic material from which the device 11 is made have the desired flexibility and memory. In this respect, the overall length of the band 13 will probably approximate 7 to 8 inches for adults and to 6 inches for children. The thickness of the band will be determined somewhat by the thermoplastic material chosen, and any suitable transparent material may be used, such as one of the vinyls, polystyrene, or polymethylmethacrylate. Generally, a band 13 having a thickness of about seven to 30 thousandths of an inch (0.007 inch to 0.030 inch) will be used.
The amount of tension inherently built into the device 11 is a function both of the resilience of the thermoplastic chosen and the rightness with which the memory will coil the untensioned device. It has been found that, for most thermoplastic materials having a thickness of about 0.007 to 0.030 of an inch, the band 13 should have a sufficient memory to coil it into the shape of a hollow cylinder having an outer diameter between about one-half inch and 2% inches. If the device 11 maintains a memory of about this characteristic, both comfort for the wearer and stability of the device 11 in place during use are provided. If a thickness of about 0.030 inch is used, it may be desirable to form the band to coil from each end simultaneously, thus producing a pair of adjacent coils having an overall oval shape which can be fit into an oval-shaped container for storage.
In FIG. 5, an alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated which is designed to serve as an inexpensive device 31 for improving the visual acuity of a wearer suffering from an eye condition such as myopia, hyperopia, or prespyopia. The device 31 includes a flexible resilient band or member 33, which is generally the same in size and shape as the band 13 described above. The band 33 has temple or end portions 35 and 37 which are essentially the same as the temple portions and 17 described above. The device 31 has two opaque regions 39 and 41 which are located on opposite sides of the indentation or bridge 43 for the nose. When the device 31 is in place on the face of the wearer, the opaque regions 39 and 41 are located directly over the optic fossae or eyesockets of the wearer. As can be seen in FIG. 5, the opaque regions are elliptical, having major axes which extend horizontally and are preferably about 2 inches long. The minor axes extend vertically to a height of between an inch and 1% inches.
The regions 39 and 41 are suitably rendered opaque. For example, if the overall band of thermoplastic material 33 is transparent, a dye or pigment may be impregnated into the regions 39 and 41. Alternatively, a layer or film of an opaque substance may be applied to the outer and/or inner surfaces of the band in the regions 39 and 41. Moreover, the opaque regions 31, 41 might be made separately of suitable opaque flexible material and then set into openings which have been cut in the band 33. If desired for some purpose, the entire band 33 might be made of opaque material.
A plurality of appropriately spaced-apart viewing apertures 45 extend through the device 31 in each of the opaque regions 39 and 41. The apertures are cylindrical, of circular cross section, and extend perpendicularly to the plane of the sheetlike material from which the band 33 is constructed. The apertures 45 are circles having diameters between about 0.024 and 0.036 inch, and preferably, the diameter of each aperture 45 is about 0.035 inch.
The function of each aperture 45 is to closely surround the visual axis of the eye in one position thereof in order to restrict the incidence of light which reaches the center of the pupil. The apertures 45 are provided in a plurality of horizontal and vertical rows, and the apertures in each of the rows are staggered with respect to the apertures in the next adjacent rows. As illustrated, the apertures 45 in one vertical row are located midway between the apertures in the next adjacent row. The distance between rows should be between 0.1 inch and 0.17
inch, center to center, and preferably it is about 0.12 inch. It has been found that such a construction enables the wearer to view objects in different directions with the eyes in corresponding positions, the wea'rer selecting an appropriate aperture in each of the opaque areas for viewing. Spacing of the apertures in this manner assures that the vision is not substantially affected by light entering through another aperture and thus avoids double vision.
FIG. 6, in addition to illustrating the relative positions of the bone structures which provide the anchoring areas for the present embodiments of the invention, also shows the angles A and B formed by the anterior and posterior aspects of the zygomatic process 27. These angles, A and B, measure approximately 30 and 17 degrees with the vertical, respectively, and as discussed hereinafter, are taken into account in connection with various of the other embodiments of the visionaiding devices shown to obtain a tighter, more stable fit.
FIGS. 7 through 9 illustrate an alternative and preferred embodiment of a visionaiding device 51. The device 51 comprises an elongated flexible band 52 of thermoplastic material proportional to fit horizontally across the front of the human face. In its normal position, when being used as sunglasses, the device 51 tits horizontally across the eyes of the wearer, nose indentation 54 fitting over the bridge of the nose, and upper holding edge 53, cut at an optimum angle of 17 about 5 with the vertical (Angle C in FlGS .-7. and 9), fitting in the orbito-temporal fossae of the headQThis approximately 17 angle allows comfort while producing excellent stability and effectiveness for the wearer. This effectiveness is explained anatomically by the fact that the 17 angle follows that of the posterior aspect of the zygomatic process 27, as shown in FIG. 6. In actual experiments, the angle B was found to be on the average of about 17 from the vertical.
Ridges 57 and 59 are optional and may be molded into the temple portions of the device to facilitate adjustment of the device out of the wearer's path of vision when he is reading. Ridge 57 is molded at a typical angle of about 35 with the vertical (Angle E in FIG. 7) allowing the wearer to moderately tilt the device on his head while maintaining its secure fit. Ridge 59 is molded at an angle of about 45 with the vertical (Angle F in FIG. 7) allowing a greater degree of tilt and direct reading without removal of the device from the head. The ridges may be positioned within the range of about 25 to 50 with the vertical to facilitate reading ease.
FIGS. 10 and 1] illustrate the alternative use of device 51 as a sunshade. When used for this purpose, the device 51 is inverted with shallow notch 61 resting high on the bridge of the nose and lower holding edges 55 fitting into the orbito-temporal fossae. Edge 55 is cut at an optimum angle of 45 2'; about 5 (Angle D in FIGS. 7 and 9) allowing the device to be held securely in a position somewhat higher on the head and at a greater angle with the face than when used as sunglasses. It will be seen that in the sunshade position the device filters completely only those light rays entering the eye at and above eye-level.
Various shapes and sizes of nose indentations 54 are contemplated in order to fit all faces. A rounded collar of plastic or rubber may be attached along the edge of the nose indentation to add comfort for the wearer. Similarly, a roll or small cylinder of plastic or rubber 53a may be formed on or attached to edge 53 to riiake contact with the head less noticeable, as shown in FIG. 12, where the end of the device is extended and rolled 360 to produce the cylinder.
FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate another embodiment 71 of the present invention generally similar to the previous embodiments but utilizing ridge 73, set at an angle 30 about 5 with the vertical (Angle H of FIG. 13). Each ridge 73 is located 11/16 inch :t about V4 inch from upper holding edges 75, which are cut at an angle of 17 3 about 5 (Angle G of FIG. 13) for the reasons discussed hereinbefore. The portion of the band 72 intermediate the ridge 73 and the holding edge 75 is arcuate in shape, being curved outwardly to form a clamp which fits over the zygomatic process 27 and is in gripping contact with the skin on both sides thereof, as best seen in FIG. 14. A somewhat more secure base is hereby created which further stabilizes the device on the wearer's head. Despite the provision of the ridges 73, this embodiment can be provided with a memory that will coil into a spiral for convenient storage with a cylindrical case.
FIGS. and 16 illustrate a device 81 that constitutes still another embodiment of the present invention which incorporates two additional features. The device 81 basically includes a band 82 provided with an indentation 83 to accommodate the nose. An auxiliary nose anchor 85 is provided which is fastened by means of flexible tape 86 at the location of the indentation 83. A small piece of material, from which the nose anchor is formed, may also be bonded between the nose anchor and the device itself to attach the nose anchor in its correct position. The nose anchor 85 is preferably formed as an open circular band of flexible thermoplastic material approximately one-fourth to three-fourth inch wide and l to 2 inches in circumference. The anchor 85 is formed with a memory that causes it to clamp over the bridge of the wearers nose. The anchor 85 adds further stability to the device 81 by this auxiliary attachment to the nose, which stability might be desirable for certain sports, such as skiing or horseback riding.
Secondly, optional ridges 87 and 88, similar to the ridges 57 and 59 depicted in FIGS. 7 and 8, are molded in the temporal areas of the device. The ridges 87, 88 are each at an angle of 17 1 about 5' from the vertical (Angle J in FIG. 15) and parallel to adjacent upper holding edges 89. The ridges are spaced approximately one-eighth to one-fourth inch from each other and from edge 89, and their provision allows a single device 81 to accommodate different sized heads by utilizing the clamping action of either edges 89, the ridges 88 or the ridges 87 behind the zygomatic process on each side of the wearers head.
A combination of ridges 57, 59 (shown in FIGS. 7-9) and ridges 87, 83 (shown in FIGS. 15 and 16) may be provided in order that a single device may be tilted up using ridges 57, 59 for use as a sunshade or be drawn tighter with ridges 87, 88 depending on the wishes of the wearer.
Embodiment 81 is still capable of recoiling into a spiral for convenient storage despite the inclusion of nose anchor 85 and ridges 57, 59 or 87, 88.
The invention provides a new and improved device for aiding human vision which is conveniently and stably held in place on the head of the wearer by cooperation with the osseous fossae. The device is susceptible of simple and economical one-piece construction and a design that readily accommodates variations between the head shapes of different individuals without the need for personal shaping to an individual wearer. Moreover, the device is anchored in position in the natural recesses of the skull, and if desired, small pads or rolls of plastic or rubber may be attached to or formed on the ends of the terminal portions to provide even more stability and comfort. The device is durable and substantially unbreakable, and it is susceptible of quick, convenient storage in a carrying container small enough to be slipped into the pocket of the wearer. Moreover, the device 11, the device 51 when used in its normal upright position, and the devices 71, 81 are considered to be excellently suited for use in lieu of sunglasses because their construction is such that they not only give protection against the rays of the sun or artificial bright lights which would enter from the regions forward of the eye, but they also protect against rays which would enter from the sides, as a result of their wraparound construction.
The wraparound effect minimizes the distortion of light rays for it approaches the curvature of the eyeball (radius 6 to 8 diopters) and avoids the prismlike effect caused by the lateral aspects of fiat lenses. The device 51 is specifically designed to serve as a sunshade when worn in an inverted position.
Various of the features of the invention are set forth' in the claims which follow.
What is claimed is:

- Shooting Stars, Fallen Man
A documentaryThe photograph has surpassed the written word as the primarymedia for personal 'social' communication. Since the invention of the camera, image has become anincreasingly potent means of mass communication, for both corporations andindividuals and is evidenced in celebrity culture and consumerism. The 21 st century has seenthe total dissemination of this trend to micro-communities, distributed throughthe internet and made possible by the pervasiveness of affordable compact digitalcameras and mobile phones.
Taken during 2006-07, within Madrid's underground clubscene, where the powerful combination of the camera and the internet can beseen to dramatic effect, the photographs document, through portraits, amicro-community in many ways reminiscent of the decadent movement of the late19 th century. Thedecadents embraced original sin, fallen man and nature, the omnipresence ofevil and the grotesque, lack of health, balance and innocence. They celebrated the perverse, drama,ornate and unnatural.

Can you help me find smoke detection for the elderly
Is there a system for smoke detection that does not require an elderly person to climb a ladder to struggle with a very difficult plastic container and well-lodged battery on the ceiling in the middle of the night? I wrestle to get the batteries in and out even in the daylight and I can't get the battery area to line up with my trifocals.
One plastic container is broken, one ripped off the wires due to losing balance. I finally disconnected the others until I can find something I don't have to climb to get to.
Our city requires a detector behind each closed door and in the halls. The house is two-story so there are a lot of them and one goes off about every other month. As I understand it, even the hard wired ones have batteries that have to be replaced. Surely there is something easy to use out there. What do people in wheel chairs do?
Thank you for your help,
This is a problem and I don't have an answer. Wish I did. An older person I know got so annoyed with the hardwired smokes in her house griping about their dying backup batteries that she insisted that her grandson remove all the smokes. I've tried to convince her to have them put back, but she won't hear of it. :(
Thanks so much. I wonder, if I hard wired and just didn't put in the back up battery would the alarms still work? Assuming the wiring worked.
I've seen some comment here about only really needing the alarms in bedrooms. Is that true most places? My house is a two story shoebox and one in the hall is less then 4 feet from the one in each of two bedrooms. The other end of the 15- 20 foot hall is the same way except the second room is a bath. Between the two ends are two rooms each with alarms. That's 8 just upstairs. I think there are 6 downstairs.
Trying to find out which battery is beeping has become the central focus of my at home time. Is hard wiring very expensive? Do I need to find a contractor or can an electrician do it? Thanks for any and all info.
There is no good solution that you are not going to argue about. What about light bulbs in ceiling fans or in ceiling fixtures or in a closet,or,or,or? Now, unless these people are feeble or infirm or have 12 ft. ceilings, have they expressed this concern to you? If any of these issues exist, the only sure thing is for you or someone else to help!
Bill, that's a good idea. I've also seen 9v lithium batteries intended for existing smokes. Not cheap at something like $10 each, but maybe worth it for the long term peace of mind.
The battery in a hard wired smoke detector is there to make sure it can still warn of a fire in a power failure. Replacing that battery with a line-powered adapter defeats that purpose. No way would I ever suggest that.
Guys, thanks so much for discussing this. I will try the fire department here and look into the long term lithium batteries first, then work on finding an electrician to see if the house can be hard wired.
It sounds like hard wiring is the most sensible long term solution. I'm glad I brought this to you, I've learned a lot. Once the house is wired, I'll try Smithy's suggestion and let you all know if the alarm beeps without the battery or just if the battery is dead.
Many thanks to you all, and
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE on Tuesday
It sounds like hard wiring is the most sensible long term solution.
Even hard wired ones have a battery in them that will in time start to beep.
I suggest you get new ones and place them hanging on a nail high up on a wall, where you can then get them down to access the battery more easily. To avoid having to do that sometime in the night, just replace the batteries 'regularly' before they wear down and start to beep...like once a year put in fresh batteries.
I work with some non-profit organization who replace smoke detectors and batteries for the seniors at not cost to them.
From time to time, the smoke detector companies provide the fire departments with FREE smoke detectors, which in turn get installed by one of the local charity groups! So start with your local fire department and see if they have such a program. Or, they may be able to tell you if there is a charity group that does provide that type of service to seniors. Also, check with some of the local church groups as some have a group of gentlemen who provide that service at no charge to the senior!
Several yrs ago we received a pallet of smoke detectors that had the lithium batteries and was a sealed unit. When the unit stopped working i.e. 10 Yrs., you replaced the unit!
Now we recently received some wireless smoke detectors for use in older homes that do not have hard wired detectors. When installed, if one unit goes off, they all will go off! And for the life of me I can't remember what type of batteries they used. Sorry!
Hope this helps!

Much of the current discussion around UK higher education is focused on changes to the funding of teaching. The equally significant shifts in the research landscape have largely been missing from recent policy discourse, yet their implications are potentially far-wider reaching, posing challenges and opportunities at individual, institutional, national and international levels.
The Leadership Foundation's annual Summit offered space for learning, discussion and debate and the opportunity to participate in a dialogue on the growing complexities of research policies in the UK and more widely, and of leading and managing research in a changing environment.

Citron, located on the highest level of the resort, makes a striking first impression. Set against a citric color palette of yellow and green, you'll encounter whimsical animal graffiti (adapted from Vietnam's earliest known cave paintings), temple-inspired lamps and wooden latticework and imperial Nguyen thrones recast as dining chairs.
Private dining booths in the shape of inverted non la (Vietnam's iconic conical hats) float out over the hillside 100 meters above sea level, with spectacular views of the entire bay and surrounding mountains.
Start your day at Citron with the a la carte breakfast menu, which offers everything from cereals and pastries to fresh eggs and traditional Vietnamese pho. During the day Citron is open for lunch and dinner with a full menu that travels the culinary map of Vietnam with signature dishes from the North all the way down to the Mekong Delta.
The fresh and lively Vietnamese menu is overseen by well-known chef Anh Tuyet, whose eponymous restaurant on Ma May street in Hanoi is considered one of the country's standard bearers of traditional cuisine. Her grilled honey chicken was cited by celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain as the finest Vietnamese meal he'd ever tried.
A wide range of Mediterranean dishes round out the offerings. All food is prepared and served from the two interactive show kitchens by Citron's team of chefs who were the recent winners of the 2013 Golden Spoon contest, a nationwide Master- Chef cook-off among the top hotel and resort restaurants in Vietnam.

I am looking for something to integrate to my CI workflow.
I've heard of dbdeploy but I'm looking for something else. The reason I don't like dbdeploy is I don't want to install java on my server.
I would prefer of course that the solution doesn't involve stringing some shell scripts together.
