Madonna, Coldplay and Taylor Swift are among the big hitters backing Jay Z's lossless audio service, which is set for a major announcement today.
The rapper mogul's celebrity-packed unveiling touted Tidal as the first artist-owned streaming music service of its kind, but it was scant on details about what that means.
In a deposition for a lawsuit brought by a paparazzo against him, the next Steve Jobs muses about the effects drones will have on society.
The self-proclaimed style icon explains at the Cannes Advertising Festival that because Samsung worked with Jay-Z, Apple had to buy Beats.
It's hard being the next Steve Jobs. Sometimes, Kanye West just has to express his frustrations. And his love.
Pay for help around the house with Amazon Home Services, listen to high-def audio with Jay Z's Tidal, and stream Spotify for free on your TV with PlayStation Music.
The Apple co-founder and iconic rapper get together for a chat about their shared interest in technology.
A virtual currency inspired by Kayne West -- but not endorsed by him -- will launch a week today. Seriously.
Sonos owners in the Asia-Pacific region can now stream lossless music courtesy of Deezer's new premium service.
Kanye West claims Zappos sells sh-t product. So Zappos does. It's a $100,000 toilet and plunger, which is already enjoying positive reviews.

In Whitley County, there are numerous residents that give back, do good or humbly serve in the community. Whether it is impacting just one person or causing a ripple effect of feel-good emotions across the county, these residents deserve some applause.
The Post & Mail is starting a new series entitled, "Difference Maker," and will feature Whitley County residents that are making a difference in the lives of those around them.
To start off the series, we chose to focus on those that work in the schools. Principals at each school building in the county were asked to select someone from their staff they felt were difference makers on their campus.
Some chose teachers and others selected bus drivers, cafeteria workers, teachers' aids and so forth. The principals were excited to highlight their selected staff member.
A couple of administrators chose to solicit comments from parents and other teachers to applaud their difference maker's efforts.
What makes this series so special is that the actual person named doesn't know they have been selected for this recognition.
It will be unveiled, to their surprise, each Monday in The Post & Mail.
After the announcement is made, a special presentation of the Difference Maker designation will be given in honor of the selected individual.
"Thank you so much for doing this," said Northern Heights Elementary School Principal Jacob Hoag. "All of our staff work tirelessly to see that our students are well educated and taken care of. It's nice to have a public forum to recognize them."
So who will be a Difference Maker? Be sure to see the first feature published in Monday's edition.
We have plans to continue the Difference Maker series beyond the School Edition. The next group of local faces featured for their do-good efforts might include yours!
Christie Workman is an editor and community editor at The Post & Mail. Posted Notes is a weekly column, typically published on Tuesdays, by the editors at The Post & Mail.

One of the best places, where we ate so far in Barcelona. Also very good and friendly service. I really recommend this place.
3 Days in Barcelona
Best Food in Barcelona
One Day in Barcelona
We went there because of a tapas festival on a busy Friday evening - more than 100 places in Barcelona offer something special for 10 days. Their tapas was so far the best we tasted, although not extraordinary, and we also ordered tomato bread and a chickpea dish to share - very tasty. We wanted to have dessert as well,...
Looking in at this restaurant on a dark November evening, the interior seemed very appealing. It is modern, trendy with a black decor. It lacks atmosphere when inside but the food was very good. We had swordfish and risotto - the risotto was particularly good. A carrot cake and chocolate ice cream dessert was delicious and certainly the highlight.
Stopped by for a beer today with a friend. The waitress explained to us (In Spanish) that we needed to sit at a different table if we were only ordering drinks, which was totally fine! I did ask her to please repeat her sentence more slowly since my Spanish is not the best, and I guess that was my mistake....
Excellent address! I recommend with friends or in couple, good wines and drinks, excellents tapas ! Friendly and fast service! We will certainly come back!
Stopped here on my last day in Barcelona with my wife for a quick drink and snack. I ordered the Mojito and the Patatas Barvas and Calamari Romana. the Mojito was very strong, just how I like mine! And the Patatas were nice and reasonably spiced. The Calamari was well done but a little oily. Overall a pleasant experience.
Arrived here at 9 pm, very we'll served. The staff is nice but the tapas degustation is nothing special: we paid 38€ in 2, but there was really few food to feed us up. Too expansive...I suggest to go here in summer time so you can enjoy the big square outside as the inside isn't too fancy.
We went there on the night of 'El Clasico', so obviously football was a priority for most customers. All tables and chairs were facing the three (!!) big screens showing the game. We settled down with a beer and some tapas - and really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was fantastic and the tapas were not the ordinary kind that you...
We stayed in Rambla del Raval for a week and found Barraval our first night. We had tapas there for our first dinner in Barcelona, then stopped in a couple times for dessert and drinks, and finally ate our last breakfast there. We found the wait staff were very friendly and the food was quite good. The breakfast wasn't great,...
We first popped in here for a drink on the way home after a day of sightseeing and after browsing the menu I decided we'd be back for food soon.
If you're just after a drink you'll be asked to sit at one of the unlaid tables and if you sit outside (across the road you will pay a 10%...

A range of approaches, ranging from simple (e.g., geometric) to complex (e.g., process-based) predictive models, have been developed to quantify overtopping and foredune retreat during storms. At present, however, there is no widely accepted approach for assessing the vulnerability of coastal foredunes to erosion and overtopping hazards. Because different coastal regions have distinct storm and geomorphic characteristics, models need to be assessed and possibly adapted before they can be successfully applied to each unique region. In this study, we apply a total water level model and three simple foredune erosion models and assess their suitability for U.S. west coast vulnerability analyses. The erosion models include a geometric model, an equilibrium profile model, and a wave impact model. We discuss the assumptions required to implement each model and force them with hydrodynamic conditions associated with a large-scale laboratory dune erosion experiment and a major winter storm approximately equivalent to the 30-yr return period total water level event in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The models are each applied with beach and foredune characteristics extracted from airborne topographic LiDAR data collected along the coasts of Oregon and Washington. Sensitivity tests reveal distinct differences in model dependence on beach slope, a critical parameter in determining storm water level elevations and ultimately the extent of foredune retreat. Without detailed, reliable field observations of storm-induced dune erosion from the region, the accuracy of each model is determined using results of the dune erosion experiment. Estimates of both overtopping and erosion extent are normalized by foredune dimensions enabling comparisons of relative vulnerability between different reaches of coast.

The Pebble porphyry Cu-Au-Mo deposit in Alaska is one of the world's largest Cu-Au mineral resources. Late Cretaceous magmatic evolution in the Pebble district culminated with the intrusion of the Kaskanak Batholith and associated porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization. The Kaskanak Batholith is a multiphase granodiorite intrusion with an estimated footprint of ≥150 km². The batholith is exposed at surface west of the deposit and lies at >600 m depth in the East Zone. The geology, geochemistry, and geochronology of the Pebble district intrusions were investigated to better understand the magmatic processes and their relationship to the formation of this giant ore deposit. The principal zones of mineralization in the Pebble district are the West Zone and East Zone, with prospects containing mineralized porphyry intrusions located at the 38 Zone, 308 Zone, and 65 Zone. Together, they constitute an estimated resource of 1.08 Bt of ore containing 36.5 Mt Cu, 2.54 Mt Mo, and 3340 M gm Au. The main and equigranular granodiorite phase of the Kaskanak Batholith forms a series of porphyritic cupolas along its roof. These cupolas are cross-cut by three distinct porphyry dike sets associated with mineralization in the district. These are: 1) a voluminous granodiorite porphyry plug in the East zone, 2) quartz granite porphyry dikes in the West Zone, East Zone, and 38 Zone, and 3) narrow leucocratic quartz granite porphyry dikes in the 38 Zone and 65 Zone. New SHRIMP-RG and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb analyses of zircon from 25 samples, together with previously published ages establish a period of 9 m.y. for Late Cretaceous magmatism in the district from 98 to 89 Ma. Pre-ore diorite, alkalic monzodiorite and monzonite porphyry intrusions, and granodiorite sills were emplaced between ~98-95 Ma; the main equigranular granodiorite was emplaced at ~91 Ma; and the younger mineralized porphyries were emplaced at ~90-89 Ma (e.g., 90.3±1.0 Ma, 89.4±1.4 Ma; 89.2±1.2 Ma for these porphyries, respectively). New recognition of pre-mineral and post-mineral andesite porphyry dikes are observed in the 1 Gold Zone, the 308 Zone, and in the East Zone. New U-Pb ages on the pre-mineral andesite porphyry dikes in the 308 Zone are 90.6±1.5 Ma and 91.1±1.2 Ma. Following the cessation of hydrothermal activity, the area was magmatically quiescent until the end of the Cretaceous. The age of renewed magmatism is established by new U-Pb age determinations of dacite and andesite dikes of 63.9±1.0 Ma and 65.9±1.4 Ma, respectively. These dikes cross-cut mineralization in the East Zone, but are eroded by a Paleocene erosional unconformity. The maximum age of the erosional unconformity is constrained by the 11 youngest detrital zircons from a sample of basal conglomerates of the Copper Lake Formation that immediately overlies the unconformity (e.g., 61.2±0.8 Ma). Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the Kaskanak Batholith was apparently more oxidized and hydrous than earlier local intrusions that predate mineralization. The Kaskanak Batholith is characterized by high ratios of whole rock V/Sc (up to 160), zircon Eu/Eu[subscript CN]* (>0.4) and zircon Ce/Nd[subscript CN] (>40). Zircon trace element compositions of the Kaskanak Batholith are distinct from pre-ore or post-ore Paleocene-Eocene intrusions. Ti-in-zircon geothermometry indicates pre-ore intrusions were hotter (~750-940° C) than Kaskanak Batholith phases (~685-760° C). Zircon Ce/Ce[subscript CN]* and Eu/Eu[subscript CN]* values are elevated in all phases of the Kaskanak Batholith as well as in pre-ore granodiorite sills, and within some zircons of late monzonite porphyry dikes, which reflects an increase in ƒO₂ and H₂O content from early pre-ore intrusions to emplacement of the Kaskanak Batholith. Investigation of apatite SO₃ and halogen concentrations suggest that the Kaskanak Granodiorite melt initially contained 0.1-0.3 wt. % SO₃ and had initial Cl/H₂O ratios of 0.3-0.6. The presence of SO₃-rich apatites hosted in primary biotite, occasionally in magnetite, and commonly within interstitial quartz and K-feldspar was observed. These sulfur-rich apatites may have crystallized from hot andesitic melts that subsequently mixed with the Kaskanak Granodiorite, or by breakdown and release of magmatic anhydrite upon volatile exsolution, or a combination of both. Mafic enclaves have been observed locally within the Kaskanak Granodiorite, but observed andesitic melts in the district make up much less than a fraction of a percent of the volume of the Kaskanak Batholith. On the basis of whole rock major and trace element compositions, the Kaskanak Batholith likely differentiated from hydrous and oxidized calc-alkaline andesitic melts. Compositions of andesitic porphyries from the 1 Gold Zone are inferred to represent parental melt compositions. Raleigh fractionation modeling suggests the Kaskanak Granodiorite can be produced by 10-12 wt. % crystal fractionation of amphibole, biotite, magnetite, apatite, and zircon, and the evolved porphyry dikes could have been produced by an additional 10-14 wt. % fractionation of amphibole, titanite, apatite, and zircon. Titanite fractionation at relatively low temperatures was apparently important for sharply depleting evolved porphyry melts of REEs, Nb, and Ta. Jurassic to Eocene age Pebble district intrusions of basaltic to granitic compositions, all have non-radiogenic initial isotopic signatures (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr[subscript i] = 0.70329 - 0.70424 and ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd[subscript i] = 0.51278 - 0.51284 (ƐNdi = +4.9 - +6.1); t = 180, 90, & 65 Ma) reflecting the age and bulk composition of the crustal section. These intrusions are interpreted to have been derived from homogenous shoshonitic and calc-alkaline andesites parental melts generated by melting of the mantle wedge and overlying lower crust yielding similar Sr and Nd isotopic compositions to those of the Peninsular Terrane in the Talkeetna Mountains. Xenocrystic zircon from Pebble district intrusions were derived primarily from the Kahiltna Basin sediments upon emplacement, but a greater component of Paleozoic and Proterozoic grains have also been observed that are unlikely derived in whole from the Kahiltna Basin sediments, consistent with xenocrystic zircons found in some Talkeetna Arc volcanics along the Alaska Peninsula that pre-date the formation of the Kahiltna Basin sediments. These zircons may have been derived from late Triassic - early Jurassic metamorphosed sediments and volcanics that predate Talkeetna Arc magmatism. During the lifespan of the Kaskanak Batholith, it is estimated that ~2 km of cover rocks were unroofed which produced telescoping advanced argillic ledges on top of potassic alteration in the East Zone. By latest Late Cretaceous – Paleocene time (~67-58 Ma), an additional ~2.5 km were rapidly eroded and subsequently buried by volcanoclastic rocks and tuff deposits of the Copper Lake Formation, which may have been initiated by the subduction of the Kula-Farallon mid-ocean ridge. The bulk of the displacement of the ZG Fault that down-dropped high-grade copper ore in the East Graben likely occurred at this time, and much of the mineralized advanced argillic alteration and epithermal-style mineralization overlying the Pebble deposit had been removed. Subsequent eastward Eocene - Quaternary tilting (~20°) has exposed the Kaskanak Batholith to the bedrock surface at Kaskanak Mountain and in the West Zone. Graduation date: 2015 2015-03-10T00:00:00Z Investigating the Tibetan crust through automatic S wave detection and travel-time tomography using the Hi-CLIMB seismic array Riddle, Evan http://hdl.handle.net/1957/55471 2015-03-30T23:12:26Z 2015-03-20T00:00:00Z Investigating the Tibetan crust through automatic S wave detection and travel-time tomography using the Hi-CLIMB seismic array Riddle, Evan The Hi-CLIMB broadband seismic experiment (2002-2005) operated 233 stations along an 800 km long north-south line from the Himalayan foreland into the central Tibetan Plateau and in a 350x350 km sub-array within southern Tibet and central and eastern Nepal. Station spacing was approximately 8 km along the line and 50 km within the sub-array. The experiment spanned the Himalayan range, Lhasa Block, Qiangtang Block and crossed the Yarlung Tsangpo Suture (YTS) and the Banggong-Nujiang Suture (BNS). From June 2004 to August 2005, over 22,500 local and regional seismic events were recorded throughout the south-central Tibetan Plateau based on automated arrival time picks. This dataset provides an opportunity to jointly invert for crust and upper mantle velocity structure along with earthquake locations using both P and S waves. Automated P and S wave picks, however, were originally determined from vertical component data using short term average to long term average (STA/LTA) windows, resulting in relatively few S picks of generally low quality. To increase the number of accurate S arrivals, we implemented an automatic S-wave picker, which uses signal attributes from three-component seismic data. The signal attributes used are rectilinearity, directivity relative to incoming P wave, ratio of transverse to overall energy and transverse amplitude. An S pick is declared when the combination of signal attributes reaches a noise dependent threshold. We used manual picks and S phase observations from events throughout south-central Tibet to adjust picking parameters and thresholds to optimize automatic S picks. For shallow events we found S[subscript g] can be picked reliably to the S[subscript g]/S[subscript n] crossover distance of approximately 3° while S[subscript n] arrivals are absent. Deep events beneath the southern Tibetan Plateau and the High Himalayas produce clear S arrivals that can be picked to about 7° distance. Applying the S-picker to over 5,700 larger (M[subscript L]≥2.7), well-recorded events led to about 100,000 S picks, significantly increasing the number of arrivals and improving their accuracy. Compared to STA/LTA picks, the new automatic S picks show a decrease in average arrival time residual by over 30 percent. This new polarization picking process allowed us to increase ray coverage, which is crucial for P and S wave structural inversions. With the new automatic arrival time picks we use tomoDD double-difference tomography to invert for crust and uppermost mantle structure beneath the Tibetan Plateau. We use the same subset of over 5,700 best-recorded local events containing over 200,000 P and 100,000 S wave arrivals to conduct the inversion. In the upper crust we observe extensive low velocity zones extending to 25 km depth. Based on Vp and Vp/Vs results we suggest this material is quartzite and highly felsic granite. Beneath the BNS we image low Vp values and increased seismicity, indicating a possible fault zone down to 25 km depth. In the lower crust beneath the Qiangtang Block we image high Vp and increased seismicity, suggesting an area of increased crustal strength to the north. Beneath the High Himalaya, south of YTS, the Moho depth decreases from 55 to 75 km depth as the Indian plate subducts beneath Tibetan crust. Along the Moho we observe Vp values upwards of 8.5 km/s extending to 31°N. We attribute these high velocities to the formation of eclogite along the base of the Indian plate, which terminates at 31°N as upper mantle velocities drop to 8.2 km/s. In the lower crust beneath the Lhasa Block low Vp values, around 6.5 km/s, extend to near Moho depth. A lack of seismicity is also present, which could indicate a weak and possibly ductile lower crust in the Lhasa Block. Nowhere in the lower crust does the Vp/Vs ratio exceed 1.8 suggesting extensive areas of partial melt are unlikely.

D.; Durland, T. S.; Moum, J. N. Shipboard current measurements in the equatorial Indian Ocean in October and November of 2011 revealed oscillations in the meridional velocity with amplitude ~0.10 m/s. These were clearest in a layer extending from ~300 to 600 m depth and had periods near 3 weeks. Phase propagation was upward. Measurements from two sequential time series at the equator, four meridional transects and one zonal transect are used to identify the oscillation as a Yanai wave packet and to establish its dominant frequency and vertical wavelength. The Doppler shift is accounted for, so that measured wave properties are translated into the reference frame of the mean zonal flow. We take advantage of the fact that, in the depth range where the wave signal was clearest, the time-averaged current and buoyancy frequency were nearly uniform with depth, allowing application of the classical theoretical representation of vertically propagating plane waves. Using the theory, we estimate wave properties that are not directly measured, such as the group velocity and the zonal wavelength and phase speed. The theory predicts a vertical energy flux that is comparable to that carried by midlatitude near-inertial waves. We also quantify the wave-driven meridional heat flux and the Stokes drift.

A few months ago, I was starting to hear that "the worst is over, the future looks brighter" for the hop scare. Still, it is next to impossible to find the right hops for right recipes. When do they expect things to go back to normal, with both the supply and the prices? This isn't going to be a forever type thing, like gasoline, is it?
It will normalize after the new harvest, this fall. My LHBS owner says this has happened a few times before and it is not that big of a deal, the prices will come back down. Maybe not as low as they were, but back to a normal price and availability.
There was a great article on BYO a little while back...you could probably look it up. Basically, the shortage is big time right now, and the 08 crop (this fall) will help a little bit, but realisitcally not much. If we get out of this funk, it will likely be late fall 2009.
Last year was a combination of problems world-wide. So far, it looks ok for the PNW harvest in the fall, although locally, it's been cool and overcast. Not good growing weather at all. 2009, the new acreage here should be yielding.
It's amusing, vineyards planted back during the hop glut of the late '90s are being re-planted with hops, because of the wine glut.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Check out the IHB report found here and here.
You're going to have to look at long term as the next year or two for things to normalize a bit again. All the crops replanted that had been ripped up for corn or pulled because of extreme damage will take that long until they begin to really yield large amounts.
The guy at my LHBS mentioned today that the European crop was doing well, but that it's still a long summer and a lot of acreage had been replanted recently.
i just heard from my local brewery that there hop supplier is requiring them to pay for next years hops now. they have only been open two years so there is no way for them to do that. we are talking $40,000-$50,000. i hope they find someway to get through this. i'm wondering how many local brewerys will be forced to close next year.
Wait... are we talking about prices for hops or weed?

I have the 995 and changed it out to the ATI stock with a red dot sight. I love it!!! Reliable and just plain fun to shoot. Everyone that has ever shot mine has ended up having me put one together for them just like mine. The count is up to 10. I think it should get commission by now. lol I cant wait to get the 45 so I have another matching handgun and carbine set.
Glad you've done so much to help HP find new family members. I'm not a big fan of the ati stock because it just turns the HP into a Beretta CX4 Storm clone instead of being it's own design. But, that's the beauty of HP's everyone tens to customize theirs to make it truly their own.
I am whatever you say I am...
actually, if u need to send the carbine home to "mom" for repairs, just make sure you put it back in the original stock. otherwise u send them an ati stock and you'll get a TS stock upon return...
I have had the 4095 for a couple of years now. I love it. Very accurate. Good to hear they finally came out with the 4595, been a long time coming. I will have to put that on my to get list. My only complaint with the H-P's is the mags. Weak springs and all. I have the .45 postol, but it does not see much daylight now that the 1911 found it's way into my house... I did put a mag through it a couple of weekend ago just to show her she has not been forgotten. Over 2k rounds through it and still working.

Church of the Guardian Angel
New Yorkers, numbed by constant grandeur, too often pass architectural gems without noticing. However, buildings such as this one deserve special merit and attention. The Church of the Guardian Angel is a Roman Catholic place of worship reminiscent of early Romanesque architecture, a style emphasized by architect John Van Pelt, and modeled after the Clunic Abbey of Saint Peter in Moissac (France). The tympanum at the entrance is very ornate and it depicts a vivid story in stone about the life of Christ. In order to attend mass or other services, contact the website for more details.

The comprehensive enforcement efforts of the Joint Task Force on the Underground Economy (JTF) in targeting the underground economy are paying off.
Last year, the JTF recovered $15.6 million in unpaid wages, back taxes, unemployment insurance premiums, fines and penalties. Today, JTF has grown to 17 state and federal agencies and advocate organizations and since its inception has collected nearly $56 million from unscrupulous businesses. When unscrupulous employers engage in the fraudulent employment practices of the underground economy, workers are denied basic workplace rights and protections, consumers are subject to unregulated goods and services, legitimate businesses are put at a disadvantage and the Commonwealth loses revenue.
Governor Deval Patrick established the Joint Task Force through an Executive Order in March 2008. The idea was to bring together multiple state and federal agencies to share information and work cooperatively in investigating and prosecuting employers who violate labor, licensing and tax laws. Governor Patrick signed legislation making the JTF a permanent investigatory unit by January 2015.
As detailed in its 2013 Annual Report, the JTF received 176 direct tips through the tip line and online referral service along with hundreds of complaints made directly to partner agencies. In addition to thousands of compliance checks, the JTF's investigative work included 103 stop work orders issued by the Department of Industrial Accidents, 32 civil citations issued by the Attorney General's Office and 124 investigations by the Department of Revenue.
Workers who believe that their rights have been violated and businesses who suspect they are at an economic disadvantage because of unscrupulous competitors are urged to call the Attorney General's Fair Labor Hotline at 617-727-3465, the JTF Referral Line at 877-965-2267, email tips to firstname.lastname@example.com or submit complaints at www.mass.gov/lwd/jtf.

In the slums of New Delhi, India, where starvation, disease and filth run rampant, a most extraordinary thing is happening. The poor here are being given solar lamps in order to use cleaner energy. The smoke from kerosene lamps, in addition to wood burning stoves, has made the air there hazardous. Pollinate Energy, a social enterprise start-up is helping people living in the slums to use cleaner energy.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
4/15/2014 (11 months ago)
Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Slums, India, solar power, off the grid
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Pollinate Energy, which began in 2013, is one of thousands of businesses in India tapping into the clean energy market. It's estimated that 35-40 percent of the entire population has no access to electricity.
Many poor urban communities in India are forced to live by candlelight. Slum tenants also use polluting fuels like kerosene, or "steal energy" by illegally tapping in to the power lines of wealthier neighborhoods.
Check out our fine selection of Bibles -- by going here!
Pollinate Energy markets and sells renewable energy lanterns and stoves on a five-week, interest-free payment plan to families living under tarpaulin sheets in Bangalore's slums.
"There are actually a lot of organizations selling clean energy products in the rural sector already, and we found that there was a big gap in the market in the urban sector," Monique Alfris, co-founder of Pollinate Energy says. "Nobody believes that there are people in urban environments who are using kerosene for light."
As opposed to those who reside in developed nations, "living off the grid" usually means living in a self-sustaining environment in remote, rural areas. The opposite is true for India, where millions of people are off the grid in urban centers. Burning fuel in poorly ventilated places like a tent or small hut contributes to indoor air pollution, which can cause premature death in women and young children.
New alternatives such as solar lanterns and clean cooking stoves are now being manufactured on a larger scale. However, urban slum and village communities have not been aware of these new technologies and have not bought the products.
Pollinate Energy says there is a serious need to focus on urban areas, given the thousands of rural migrants streaming into India's towns and cities every day, who face "energy poverty" - a lack of access to modern energy services.
"India is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in the world. There are always more and more people coming into the cities," Alfris says.

Paper receptacles such as window envelopes, selfsticking envelopes and return envelopes having address labels. Also envelope sealing closures, particularly perforated closures.
2. Description of the Prior Art.
Envelopes which are reuseable for remailing are well known in the art. Such envelopes commonly provide a removable remailing label or else use part of the original enclosure in the envelope such as the billhead, to be replaced inside a window in the envelope and remailed. The problem with arrangements shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,152,751; 2,846,135; 2,600,114; 2,405,51 1; 932,715 is essentially that of alignment because accuracy must be maintained in folding and replacing either a label or billhead or the address will not be plainly visible or during transit the contents shift and the post office is unable to make a prompt delivery. Also, remailable labels are well known, that is, it is known in the art to send the recipient an adhesive label which can be pasted over the front for remailing but this requires a separate operation and preparation in preparing the original envelope, and furthermore makes no use of the return address on the envelope which has to be provided for the original mailing. The trouble with folding and refolding remailable envelopes like those in U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,245,447; 1,953,192, 1,438,122; 978,421; 1,145,935 is the alignment problem plus concentration and study to learn the folding, etc. There is, therefore, a real need in the art for a remailable envelope which uses the return address for the remailing and which is pre-prepared on the envelope itself so that most any recipient readily knows what is to be done and is unlikely to make any mistakes and can do the remailing rapidly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is capable of expression in several different forms. Basically, the concept is that of a window envelope with the usual pocket provided by folding and gluing the sides and with a top flap which is longer than usual and includes a lower sealing edge for original mailing and spaced therefrom and at the top edge of the flap a second sealing edge which originally is unsealed but has adhesive (either wettable or self-stick) for future use. A return address portion of the envelope is removable by means of weakened lines and contains the return address infonnation for the original mailing and is used as the label over a window in the envelope for the remailing by the original recipient. A good use of the present envelopes is in small offices of doctors, dentists and the like who must send out many individual bills over a short period of time each month and wish to receive back as promptly as possible remittance in payment of these bills. In a busy doctor's or dentist's office, there is simply insufficient time for the office employees to prepare all of the material and there is also the problem of getting the recipient to make a quick return of the payment which is enhanced by providing the recipient the self-addressed envelope. The present arrangement does not attempt to make any reuse of the window itself, for exposing a return address, as in some prior art envelopes, since this has been found to provide problems of alignment and is too complex or troublesome for many people. The window address has been eliminated for the return mailing purposes and is covered by the removable label which is easily removed and replaced. Nor does the present arrangement require any refolding or repositioning, or realignment of basic envelope parts since the pocket remains substantially unchanged.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The pocket portion of the envelopes is that container part which is closed on three sides and open at the top to receive the contents. While in the accompanying drawings there is shown a blank from which the envelope is made and the folding of the parts thereof into a pocket, it should be understood that essentially the pocket is not changed by the recipient of the envelope, that is, it is not necessary for the recipient to unfold or unglue the pocket flaps or parts and reassemble or realign these, such being an advantage of this invention over some prior art.
Furthermore, window envelopes may be open window (nothing in the space) or with the window closed with transparent film, such as cellophane, and provision is disclosed herein for treating both kinds.
Referring first to FIG. 4, the closed and sealed envelope of the preferred embodiment is designated generally by reference numeral 10 and comprises a body or pocket designated generally by reference numeral l2 and which is closed on three sides by respective flaps l4, l6 and by folding a sheet or blank 18 at the bottom 20. An outer top flap 22 is formed on sheet or blank 18 and it has a return address window 24 therein which folds over a removable return address label or removable tab 26 on the other end of blank 18 and on a second and inner top flap 30. There is dry adhesive 32 on the top flap 22 which is also known as the outer or primary flap; there is dry adhesive 34 on the second inner top flap 30 which is also known as the secondary closure flap. There is dry adhesive 36 on the return address label or tab 26 which is attached by weakened lines 40 perforated between it and the flap 30 to which it is attached. Return address label 26 has printed or otherwise indicated thereon the return address information 42. The envelope body or pocket 12 has either an open or closed window 44 therein over which is fitted and glued the return address label 26 in the manner shown in FIG. 2 by tearing it away from flap 30 and moistening the glue or adhesive 36.
The evolution of the envelope from the flat blank 18 is seen by reference to FIG. 3, FIG. I and FIG. 4 in that order and then to FIG. 2 wherein is found the procedure for revising and remailing the same envelope 10. It is noted that for first or initial mailing, flap 22 is over the flap 30 and the return address label 26.
Some of the advantages of the above noted arrangements are:
I. The label 26 is easily removed by pulling against the perforations (sometimes it is difficult to remove perforated sheets).
2. The label 26 can be made as wide as ever necessary to cover a wide window on the envelope with greater tolerance in alignment of outgoing address in window permissible. With the label exposed on the outside (see other embodiments herein), it is possible the postmark might strike the label.
3. The outer top flap 22 can be sealed without danger of wetting label 26.
4. The label 26 remains cleaner for return use.
5. The design is attractive and has a professional look.
6. The label can be shaped easily to pleasing proportions.
If the window 28 is open (not covered by transparent sheet) the label 26 can have only a border of adhesive to avoid the label adhering to the contents through the window.
In the embodiment and first modification 50 shown in FIG. 5, the pocket 51 comprises a front 52 folded on a back 54 closed by sides 56 and with a top flap 58 having a return label 60 connected by perforations 61 to the top flap 58. Top flap 58 is connected to the back 54 by a perforated line 59 and has an adhesive edge 62 for closing the pocket for first mailing. Front 52 has a small flap 66 with adhesive 68 for closing and scaling in place for remailing and the usual window 68.
In the operation of envelope 50 which is folded from a flat blank as noted by inspection of FIG. 5, the first mailing is done by inserting a bill or other enclosure inside the envelope pocket 51 to show the address through the window 68 in the usual manner, and the envelope is closed by sealing flap 58 by edge 62 onto the face of front 52. For remailing, top flap is detached along perforated lines 59 and label 60 is detached along its perforated lines 61 and attached in place over window 68 by adhesive 70 bordering the window 68. Adhesive could be combined with the inside of label 60 in addition to or in lieu of the adhesive border 70, but this may not be desirable if there is a chance that moisture from the initial sealing of edge 62 might affect the border on label 60 (this is not illustrated for it is be lieved to be obvious from description alone).
The envelope in the embodiment in FIGS. 6 and 7 is similar to that in FIG. 1, but instead of the label being attached to the inner top flap 30, the inner top flap is designated as 102 and indented at 104 to get the adhesive on the initial sealing flap I06 away from the label 108 which is attached by perforations 110 to a side flap 112 having adhesive 114 and sealing the pocket along with the front 116 and back 118 in the manner of previous embodiments. Front 116 has the usual window 120 for exposing the contents of the initially addressed insert whereas the back 118 has the initial sealing flap 124 with a window 126 exposing the return address label I08 which has the printing I30 thereon. Label 108 is detached at perforations 110 and replaced for remailing over window 120.
In the fourth modification shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the envelope designated generally by reference numeral comprises the usual pocket 152 formed from a base blank with a front 154, back 156 and closed and sealed sides 158. Front 154 has a remailing seal flap 160 with adhesive 162. Back 156 extends into the top initial remailing sealing flap 164 with adhesive 166. The return address label 168 is mounted in the upper left-hand corner as usual by means of detachable connection means such as rubber cement or other similar sticky substance whereby the label 168 which initially for first mailing is the return address may be removed and replaced over the window [70 in the front [54 for remailing, and the remailing seal flap 160, which is also the inner top flap on initial mailing, is sealed in place after label 168 is removed. There can be blank space under label I68 for addressee (original) to enter his return address upon remailing or it can be printed with the same address as the return address label 168. In this day of pre-printed bank checks, it is not as much a problem to identify the remitter as at one time. Thus, true return addresses are not as important.
In the embodiment and fifth form shown in FIGS. 10 and II, the same pocket is formed from back 182, front 184 and side 186, and the back 182 extends into the second, inner seal flap 188 which is used for remailing. The first sealing flap 190 which carries the removable label 192 is attached along a line on the front of flap 188 by removable means such as rubber cement or similar sticky substance. Label 192 is attached by per forated lines I96 and is removed and attached over the window I98 for remailing. There is a preprinted return address 200 as before and, of course, initial mailing is addressed by means of an insert showing through the window I98. The adhesive may be dry in a border around the window 198 in lieu of the border on the back oflabel 192.
In the sixth and final embodiment in FIGS. 12 and 13, the envelope 220 like other embodiments has the usual pocket formed from a back 222, a front 224, and side flaps 226 with a front window 228 in front 224 and through which the insert in the pocket shows the first mailing address. Like the embodiment in previous FIGS. 10 and 11, back 222 extends into a top flap 230 which is composite flap with a top seal flap 232 and an intermediate seal flap 234 which are detachable by perforated lines 236 and 238 respectively, about the remailing return address flap and label 240. An adhesive border 242 is formed around the window 228 to which the removed label 240 is attached upon removal and repositioning.
While a window envelope has been shown and discussed in many places and while this concept lends itself especially to use with such envelopes, the invention is not limited in use to such envelopes with windows and in each form discussed and described the original address may be on the envelope surface itself, as by typing, or on a label or in some other manner.
Thus, while I have shown and described a particular form with variations, this does not limit my invention since there are various alterations, changes,ommisions, and departures which may be made, although not shown or mentioned, still within the scope of the invention defined by interpretation of the appended claims.

Facts about...Buying Disability Insurance
The host of Lets Chat Radio has been a licensed insurance benefits counselor for 6 years working in the life and health insurance markets and today will discuss disablilty insurance. Get your pencil and paper ready !
Nearly one-third of U.S. workers will become disabled at some point in their career before reaching retirement, according to a 2009 estimate from the Social Security Administration. Yet the federal agency says that 70% of employees aren't covered by private long-term disability insurance. Social Security disability benefits are available for certain disabled workers, but the average payout is only 40% of a person's income and the allowance rate for initial claims can be as low as 30% in some areas of the U.S.
Individual disability insurance is truly a basic concept. It is an insurance product designed to replace anywhere from 45-60% of your gross income on a tax-free basis should a sickness or illness prevent you from earning an income in your occupation. Your most important asset is your ability to bring home a paycheck, DI makes sure that regardless of any adverse changes to your health, you are able to provide for yourself and your family. Every disability insurance policy from every insurance company is very different, this is not a product to simply shop for the most competitive rate. To buy the cheapest disability insurance policy on the market is to throw money away. The odds of getting paid a monthly benefit under a cheap contract may be significantly lower than receiving benefits from a quality contract. The goal of this show is to provide you with information to make an educated decision on your own. I will provide you with information regarding the major features of a disability insurance policy so that you may better understand how to read a disability insurance policy.

A Disability Movement
Tonight we will have a new episode with Cheryl Green and talk about her new upcoming movie "Who am I to Stop It" and maybe get one of the cast members in. It's an incredible story about survivors and their personal journeys.
As Well we shall talk about our disability movement. It has been a difficult journey for me as a person. The last 7 years have seemed like 2 life-times. I have learned so much combined with so many failures. My mission or goal was to be part of the biggest movement in history as people with disabilities came together for the greater cause, one of equity and inclusion. A place where all were welcome no matter what.
Though there have been many successes over the years, people working together building each other up and accepting each other mistakes and all. This is not without disappointment at times as we create opportunities to empower people it ends up being a boxing ring where people want to be right rather than do right. I have lost friends and support believing people will overcome. It has been one thing advocating against those who have hi-jacked our disability for profit and image is one thing but how do you advocate for those who would destroy each other to be right.
All of this combined with the constant anger of all those who are powerless in their lives who put anger in each other because they don't believe exactly the same, or believe they invented disability and its movement. Or the anger when a contributor shares their message with too much color, or is negative everyone is so quick to judge each other.
Disillusioned, beaten and shaken like so many others out there. Makes one wonder if it's even possible or is it just a waste of time - Listen to my rants tonight on my monolog and you tell me is it worth it and why
