Second-harmonic generation of light in ferroelectric polymer films with a spatially nonuniform distribution of polarizationPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 849 - 855
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (540 KB)
A spatial distribution of the spontaneous polarization P s(z) results in a similar spatial distribution of the nonlinear optical coefficients d 31(z), d 32(z), and d 33(z). Large errors in the determination of the coherence length and of the nonlinear optical coefficients can occur if the distribution of the polarization is not taken into account. A proper analysis of second-harmonic data thus requires in any case the knowledge of the polarization distribution, which can be measured by a piezo- and a pyroelectric technique. The optical transfer matrix formalism further allows the study of quasi-phase-matching techniques, optical resonance enhancement techniques for the fundamental or for the harmonic beams and planar waveguide structures.<

Design and properties of a microcalorimeterPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 861 - 866
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (422 KB)
A pyroelectric microcalorimeter is introduced for the measurement of the specific heat of films. It consists of a pyroelectric sensor with the sample directly deposited onto one of the electrodes of the sensor. The arrangement is heated by the absorption of intensity-modulated radiation at the other electrode. For a homogeneously poled pyroelectric sensor, the quotient for the pyroelectric current, obtained at modulation frequencies omega below and above omega =2D/d 2, with D the thermal diffusivity and d the thickness of the pyroelectric sensor material, directly yields the quotient of the heat capacity of the pyroelectric material and the sample. Experimental results show that with the pyroelectric microcalorimeter it is possible to measure the specific heat of film samples with a thickness in the submicron range and with a sample mass of several micrograms.<

Silicon subminiature microphones with organic piezoelectric layers-fabrication and acoustical behaviorPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 867 - 871
Cited by: Papers (7)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (407 KB)
A silicon subminiature microphone, based on the piezoelectric effect of organic films such as aromatic polyurea, PVDF, and PVDF/TrFE, is proposed. The acoustical sensor is fabricated using a slightly modified integrated circuit technology process and a standard micromechanical fabrication procedure. The main production steps of this hybrid sensor are given, including the fabrication of the mechanical part of the sensor, the deposition or spin coating of the films, and the poling of the polymer layers. Measurements of the transverse piezoelectric charge constant d 31 yield values up to

Direct observation of space charge evolution in e-irradiated Kapton filmsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 763 - 767
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (312 KB)
The pressure wave propagation method was applied to analyze in a vacuum the evolution of the space charge in electron-irradiated Kapton H films. The 125 μm thick films were irradiated in a vacuum chamber with a monoenergetic electron beam in the 10 to 50 keV energy range. The method allows direct observation of the depth of penetration of electrons and first results on Kapton are presented. The space charge generated in the irradiated and nonirradiated regions was observed during and after the irradiation process. The space charge is influenced by electric field-assisted detrapping of incident electrons and their interaction with the lattice as they drift. Interfacial effects are indicated by the buildup of a negative charge layer at the metal-polymer interface View full abstract»
Thermal depolarization of PVDF: anomaly at 180°CPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 768 - 772
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (320 KB)
PVDF samples with high β content (80%), prepolarized at room temperature, were heated to higher temperatures. The polarization was measured first under open circuit conditions at the high temperature and then after cooling down again to room temperature For elevated temperatures up to 175°C the polarization was reduced to 2% of the original value, yet recovered roughly to 8% of the original value after cooling down to room temperature In contrast to this, when heating the films to 180°C, a significantly different behavior was observed in cooling down to room temperature again the polarization returned from ~1% at 180°C to ~40% of the original prepolarized value View full abstract»
Piezoelectricity of PVDF/PUE, PVDF/PMMA and PVDF/PMMA+BaTiO3 laminatesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 782 - 786| | Quick Abstract | PDF (280 KB)
Preparation of piezoelectric laminates by using PVDF polymer film (a), polyester urethane elastomer film (b), PMMA film (c), and (PMMA+BaTiO3) composite film (d) is proposed. Three-layered-structure systems of (aba), (aca), and (ada) have been made and conventional electrets based on these laminates have been prepared. The modification of internal layers in the systems leads to a change of their dielectric properties and also the mechanical parameters which determine the piezoelectricity. The origins of piezoelectricity in these systems have been considered on the basis of TSD thermograms View full abstract»
On the charge storage and decay mechanism in silicon dioxide electretsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 691 - 697
Cited by: Papers (14) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (524 KB)
A mechanism for both the storage and the decay of charge in a charged silicon dioxide layer is proposed. The oxide layer needs neutral electron traps to obtain stable trapped negative charge, after having been charged, resulting in an electret that can be applied in microphones. The deprotonization of the silanol groups, followed by charge injection, results in an electrochemical reaction with immobile SiO- as one of the reaction products. Decay of the stable charge thus obtained can occur by the clustering of water molecules at inner silanol groups, resulting in a conductive hydrogen bonded network, which eventually leads to the discharge of the electret. Measurement results are presented, showing a considerable decrease in surface conductivity, after having grafted the SiO2 surface, resulting in covalently bonded, relatively long octadecyl silane chains View full abstract»
Piezo and pyroelectric radiation dosimetryPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 835 - 842| | Quick Abstract | PDF (376 KB)
The authors review the use of photoacoustic and pyroelectric radiation dosimeters. They compare the characteristics and results obtained with a photoacoustic radiation dosimeter (PARD) and a pyroelectric radiation dosimeter (PERD). The PARD and the PERD can be used to measure the energy fluence rate of continuous X-ray beams. In the same way, the single-pulse photoacoustic radiation dosimeter and the single-pulse pyroelectric radiation dosimeter (PPERD) were compared. They can measure the energy fluence of a single pulse of X-radiation. A theoretical model to explain the results obtained with the PPERD is presented and compared with experimental results View full abstract»
Radiation-induced conductivity in electron-beam irradiated insulating polymer filmsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 843 - 848
Cited by: Papers (10)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (324 KB)
The radiation-induced conductivity (RIC) in polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyimide due to electron-beam irradiation is measured with an external bias method and, in the case of polypropylene, also with a short-circuit method, as a function of dose rate and time of irradiation or total dose. The results substantiate the power-law dependence of the RIC on dose rate in all cases, but indicate that the dependence on time is different for the materials under investigation. In addition, the delayed radiation-induced conductivity (DRIC) is determined. The DRIC shows a hyperbolic time dependence with different exponents for the different materials View full abstract»
Thermally stimulated current study of amorphous oriented PPSPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 795 - 800
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (332 KB)
The influence of aging on relaxation phenomena in poly-p-phenylene sulfide (PPS) has been investigated by TSC spectrometry. In the vicinity of the glass transition temperature,
Tg, two relaxation peaks have been observed in amorphous oriented PPS: a secondary peak at 62°C in nonaged PPS and at 45°C in aged PPS; and a primary peak at 93°C in both films. According to differential scanning calorimetry data, they have been associated with the dielectric manifestation of the sub- Tg and Tg transitions, respectively. Each mode has been characterized by a distribution of relaxation times. For the sub- Tg mode with the relaxation times follow a Vogel equation while for the Tg mode they obey a compensation law. The sub- Tg modes, which is strongly enhanced upon aging, has been attributed to a diffusion of free volume favored by local order in rigid domains. The Tg mode has been assigned to cooperative movements of sequences of various length in `true' amorphous regions View full abstract»
Comparison of polarization distribution measurement by the LIMM and PWP methodsPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 751 - 757
Cited by: Papers (11)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (436 KB)
Two different methods of measurement of polarization distributions in piezoelectric materials, the laser intensity modulation method (LIMM) and the pressure wave propagation (PWP) method, are compared. The two techniques are described, and measurements made on different PVDF-based samples, one with a symmetric and the other one with an antisymmetric structure, are reported. Although the LIMM responds to diffusion of heat and the PWP method to the propagation of a pressure wave, the direct observation of the raw data gives similar information in both cases as far as the symmetry of the polarization distribution is concerned. The specific characteristics of each method are analyzed View full abstract»
Determination of charge density and charge centroid location in electrets with semiconducting substratesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 698 - 701
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (280 KB)
A method for determining the amount and the mean spatial depth of charge in electret-semiconductor systems is presented. It consists of two nondestructive measurements, from which the internal and external electric fields can be calculated independently. First, the surface potential at the electret-air interface is measured by an electrostatic voltmeter. Second, using a contacting front electrode, a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure is formed, on which capacitance or conductance voltage measurements are carried out. With these results, one obtains the surface potential at the electret-semiconductor interface. The charge centroid and the charge density can now be calculated. For SiO2-silicon structures, where the 1-μm-thick thermally wet-grown SiO2 layer acts as an electret, it was found that the charge centroid can be influenced strongly by temperature treatment prior to charging View full abstract»
Influence of defects and substitutions on polarization phenomena of bioelectrets: apatitesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 826 - 830| | Quick Abstract | PDF (304 KB)
Nonstoichiometric hydroxyapatites and carbonated hydroxyapatites are characterized by the thermally stimulated current technique. Since dielectric energy losses are cooperative, the compensation temperature has been chosen as fingerprint of the local order. Relaxation map analysis shows the existence of either monophasic or biphasic structures and analysis of polarization phenomena gives information on localization and interaction of defects with structural ions of the apatites View full abstract»
Bioelectrets and biopiezoelectricityPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 813 - 819
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (404 KB)
Some biopolymers possess polar uniaxial orientation of molecular dipoles and show pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity. Some examples of bioelectrets are described. Shear piezoelectricity is observed for elongated films of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Temperature relaxations in the complex piezoelectric constants, the elastic constant, and the permittivity are observed at the glass transition temperature, ~90°C. However, the piezoelectric constants for the crystalline phase of PLLA calculated from a spherical dispersion theory are independent of temperature. Thin layers of aromatic polyurea prepared by vacuum deposition polymerization show pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity after poling, which are stable to 200°C View full abstract»
Effect of space charge on micro-macro domain transition of PLZTPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 773 - 776
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (252 KB)
Space charge distributions of PLZT 8/65/35 were measured by the laser intensity modulation method. The effect of space charge on the micro-macro domain transition is shown. Large differences in the depolarization temperature
Td measured on heating and cooling are due mainly to the effect of space charge View full abstract»
Effect of dye-doping on photo-induced pyroelectric response in thin films of vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene copolymersPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 777 - 781| | Quick Abstract | PDF (220 KB)
The time dependence of the current response induced by a chopped laser beam was measured for dye-doped vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene copolymers spin coated on an ITO coated glass substrate. In addition to conventional pyroelectric response, an anomalous current was observed in the high dye concentration region. This effect was explained by the photoconductivity of dye molecules densely dispersed in the noncrystalline regions of the polymer matrix View full abstract»
The trapping of electrons in polystyrenePublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 680 - 686
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (456 KB)
The trapping of electrons in localized states in polystyrene has been studied by means of an electron beam technique. A 2.2-kV beam is used to inject a short pulse of charge into the free surface of a thin film of the polymer, and a second electron beam monitors the surface potential of the film. The surface potential is related to trapped charge density and to the depth of charge penetration. By defining a trapping parameter α=1/μτ
E, one can relate the incremental buildup of surface potential to the injected charge density and carrier range. The release of electrons from traps is analyzed in terms of a time and temperature dependent demarcation energy Em. This energy is related to elapsed time since charge injection via the equation Em= kT1n( vt). Time dependence of charge decay is thus related to the energy distribution of traps in the polymer View full abstract»
Dielectric investigation of β-cyclodextrin hydrates and inclusion complexesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 801 - 806
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (392 KB)
The dielectric behavior of β-CD hydrates and β-CD inclusion complexes with various organic guest molecules has been studied mainly by the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) method in the temperature range 80 to 300 K. Some preliminary measurements have also been carried out by conventional AC techniques at room temperature. Results are discussed in relation to the corresponding structure as determined by X-ray diffraction and are compared with differential scanning calorimetry data reported in the literature. The main high-temperature (200 to 280 K) peak recorded with the TSDC method is shown to be directly related to a phase transition occurring near the peak temperature. Water enclosed in the β-CD cavity seems to play a very important role as far as this transition is concerned View full abstract»
Transition from dispersive to non-dispersive hole transport in poly-N-vinylcarbazole/polycarbonate mixturesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 714 - 718
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (284 KB)
Isothermal time-of-flight (TOF) measurements carried out on films of a poly(N-vinyl carbazole)/polycarbonate mixture in the temperature range 220 to 370 K show that with increasing temperature a transition from dispersive (≲250 K) to nondispersive (>250 K) hole transport occurs. A comparison of thermally stimulated currents, thermoluminescence, isothermal TOF, and thermally stimulated TOF measurements indicates that the low-temperature dispersive transport results from frozen-in energetic disorder rather than from multiple trapping View full abstract»
Constant-current corona charging of biaxially stretched PVDF films in humidity-controlled atmospheresPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 744 - 750
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (472 KB)
A special version of a constant current corona triode has been developed for charging samples in controlled atmospheres. Measurements performed on biaxially stretched polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) samples show that the buildup of the surface potential is dependent on air humidity. In a dry air atmosphere, the polarization clearly shows the ferroelectric behavior of the PVDF sample. For samples charged under humid conditions, the surface potential vs. time curves pass through a maximum value which decreases with increasing relative humidity. A tentative explanation for the surface potential dependence on the humidity is given, based on the increase in conductivity originating from the dissociated water molecules absorbed into the sample View full abstract»
Study of space-charge effects on dielectric breakdown of polymers by direct probingPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 758 - 762
Cited by: Papers (25)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (328 KB)
Direct and quantitative probing of space charge was carried out to study effects of space charge on dielectric breakdown of polymeric insulating materials. In poly-p-phenylene sulfide, in which dielectric-breakdown characteristics were explained in terms of space-charge formation, positive homo space charge was observed. The amount and the depth of space charge detected could explain the dependence of impulse breakdown strength on prestressing both qualitatively and quantitatively. In oxidized polyethylene, negative homo space charge was observed. This also agreed well with the prestress dependence of the breakdown characteristics. The injecting electrode during the prestressing or the region nearby was suggested to be important in the breakdown process of both materials View full abstract»
Charge dynamics in Mylar films corona-charged at various temperaturesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 702 - 707
Cited by: Papers (1) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (372 KB)
The discharging behavior of Mylar polyethyleneterephthalate (PETP) films is investigated and discussed in terms of dipole relaxation at 85°C as well as conductivity and trap dynamics at higher temperatures. For comparison, the low-temperature peak due to positive real charge in nonpolar fluoropolymer Teflon FEP is also described. The shift of the mean charge depth in PETP samples charged at elevated temperatures, the transport of detrapped real charge in the bulk of PETP, and the compensation of detrapped charge in the bulk during thermally stimulated discharge are studied by means of heat-pulse experiments as well as measurements of the steady-state conduction current and the bulk conductivity glow curve View full abstract»
A novel method for electret production using impulse voltagesPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 739 - 743
Cited by: Papers (12)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (320 KB)
A method for producing electrets is proposed in which an electric discharge is produced by a negative impulse voltage in a small air gap. The dielectric film to be charged is placed between two planar electrodes, the film being in contact with one of the electrodes and separated from the other by the air gap. The electric discharge in the gap causes electric charges to deposit onto the dielectric surface where they are trapped, thus forming the electret. Measurements carried out with Teflon FEP show a very uniform deposition, and also that the sample surface potential increases linearly with increasing impulse peak voltage. This method appears to be as good as the corona discharge for the production of electrets, with regards to a high turn out and low cost View full abstract»
Escape depth of secondary electrons from electron-irradiated polymersPublication Year: 1992 , Page(s): 831 - 834
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (252 KB)
Measurements on polymers (Teflon, FEP and Mylar) have shown that the secondary electron emission from uncharged surfaces exceeds that from surfaces containing a positive surface charge. The reduced emission of charged surfaces is due to recombination between electrons undergoing emission and trapped holes within the charged layer. During the experiments the surface of the material was kept at a negative potential to assure that all secondary electrons reaching the surface from within the material are actually emitted. An analysis of the results yielded the maximum escape depth of the secondary electrons, and showed that the ratio of the maximum escape depth of the secondaries from Mylar to the maximum escape depth from Teflon is almost the same as the ratio of the corresponding second crossover energies of these polymers View full abstract»

Michael Kimmage: Philip Roth as Phenomenon of the American Spirittags: PBS, Michael Kimmage, Philip Roth, American Masters
n June 1880, Fyodor Dostoevsky spoke before a monument to Alexander Pushkin, newly erected in Moscow, proclaiming Pushkin a "unique phenomenon of the Russian spirit." To Dostoevsky at least, Pushkin's monumental meaning was transparent. It was his national genius: "No single Russian writer, before or after him, ever associated himself so intimately and fraternally with his people as Pushkin."
Unlike Russians, Americans rarely build statues to their writers. American writers are most consistently remembered as local heroes: Edgar Allan Poe obliquely commemorated in Baltimore's football team or Ernest Hemingway honored as the patron saint of Key West. For all its statues, Washington, D.C. has very few that are literary. One of the limited ways to secure a spot in national memory is for a writer to be featured in American Masters, a PBS series that focuses on great artists. This accolade has just been awarded to Philip Roth, and "Philip Roth: Unmasked," has all the attributes of a monument, though the question remains: A monument to what?1
It's easier to answer in the negative. No monument can be built to Roth the Jewish-American writer, since there is no such writer. Roth does not write "in Jewish," as he comically confesses in the documentary. The Jewish-American label was constructed by others and applied to him artificially, forcing him into a box with Saul Bellow and Bernard Malamud when the literary genealogy is vastly more complicated....

Thank you, Dad
Father is defined in the dictionary as "a male parent," something we all know to be true. But the word means so much more than that.
We all lamented about our fathers' lameness when we were kids, kicking and screaming our way to the confines of our rooms.
But we often fail to acknowledge all those things, big and little, that the man of the house has done for us.

AMD Puts Out A Catalyst Hot-Fix For Linux
Published on 06 April 2011 07:42 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
AMD has just released a Catalyst hot-fix driver for Linux users on this binary blob. This is the "AMD Catalyst 11.4b" driver.
All this hot-fix driver provides though is just AMD Radeon HD 6790 support, which is the newest graphics card in the HD 6xxx series family.
Beyond the HD 6790 support, there are no other official changes with this hot-fix. It doesn't have the X.Org Server 1.10 support like found in
the Catalyst driver build for Ubuntu 11.04
that AMD pushed to Canonical.
This new driver can be found in

How BuildZoom's Bid Tool Works
About BuildZoom
BuildZoom has one simple purpose: To help you find the perfect contractor.
How we do this is more complicated. BuildZoom is a database of every licensed contractor in the United States. We work hard to figure out who the great contractors are, and who the bad contractors are.
BuildZoom combines license information on 3.5 million contractors with 75 million building permits, and over 80,000 reviews from homeowners and the Better Business Bureau.
If you are looking for a specific contractor and you can't find them on BuildZoom, it's likely that they do not have a license - please contact us and we'll try to help!
Finding a Contractor through BuildZoom
The best way to use BuildZoom is to let us recommend contractors for your remodeling projects.
Homeowners who hire through BuildZoom's free bidding system report high rates of satisfaction, and homeowners who research contractors online are twice as likely to be happy at the end of their project.
If you hire a contractor through BuildZoom, that contractor is accountable to us. We can enforce standards of behavior, mediate disputes, and guarantee satisfaction.
Read more about why hiring through BuildZoom is so effective.
Why should I trust BuildZoom
We built this site to help people find great contractors, and to help people avoid bad contractors. We take this incredibly seriously, and we have a zero tolerance policy for contractors who don't adhere to our standards.
1 million people use BuildZoom every month. Our business depends on their trust.
If a contractor does poor work, they will no longer receive leads from BuildZoom, and a negative review will be posted on their profile.

I sent an email I may could arrive earlier than the time I had already specified, however they replied me that would not be a problem, if there was a room available by then, they'd let me check in earlier. By the time I arrived the guy on the counter told me check in was at 2 pm and that I had to wait (I assumed there were no rooms availaible), well... he made me wait just because, a pair of beds were available, only stealing time of my quick stay in Bangkok. He did not seem friendly towards me.

Stayed here for two night...unfortunately. If I hadn't missed check-out, I'd left after one night as I couldn't get much sleep due to loud noise. Paperthin walls transfer any noise to your room. Snoring, puking, talk...you name it. At least the staff was friendly and helpful.

Cross-pollination: how can you tell?
So, this might seem like a silly question, but is there any way to tell whether or not common vegetables grown from collected seeds have crossed before the fruiting stage? I mean, with tomatoes, even though they don't often cross, I'm not sure that I could tell even after the fruiting stage unless they ended up either the wrong colour or the wrong shape. I'm also fairly certain that it would be nearly impossible to tell pepper plants apart until they produced.
But I'm thinking more of, like, the brassicas, or squashes. Is there any easy way to tell them apart, say, from their young leaves? Especially if they've crossed?
Last year what ended up being a "wild" acorn squash that had clearly crossed with something else grew on the shore near my grandparents house and thought it was clearly a squash-like plant of some sort I puzzled for ages over what it would eventually produce. After the fruit began to come it was pretty clear that it was acorn squash and something (I'm still not sure what the something was, probably a zucchini). Regardless of the cross it ended up being quite edible.
But I digress. Does anyone know of an easy or effective way to tell if crossing has taken place before too much effort has been put into the plants? Does taste work with brassicas (since they should be completely edible)? Can you tell crossed squash plants apart by leaf shape?
I have some seeds collected from last year, and I've grown from collected seeds with success before, but this year I'd like to try collecting some others that are more of a challenge. I know the techniques for preventing crossing of various species, but I'm curious to know if there's any way to verify whether it was successful or not without actually growing out the resulting seeds to maturity.
Not unless the leaves have very different shapes. Otherwise you have to wait for the fruit to develop since the genetic effects of any pollination issues or crossing are primarily reflected in the fruit itself.
For example: tomatoes come with 3 different types of leaves - regular, potato, or rugose. If you planted what was supposed to be regular leaf seed and potato leaves show up, it crossed.
With some squash varieties there are some leaf difference but they aren't as pronounced. Usually it shows up in the number of lobes to the leaf or in its texture (smooth vs. velvety). Linked an article below of various pics so you can see the differences.
With peppers it is very vague - hots tend to be more oval and longer, sweets tend to be rounder. But between the same types any crossing is minimal and impossible to tell except with the fruit AFAIK.
Hope this helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Squash leaf differences

I'm applying localization to an iPhone app I'm working on, and slowly going through all texts/strings/labels throughout the app to dynamically retrive the correct language translation done through Localizable.strings - I'm testing with two languages to make sure it's working properly. Naturally English, and also Czech.
So far I haven't had any problems until this one particular UILabel.
While using the iPhone and app in English, no problems at all. However when changing the iPhone language to Czech and testing the app, one of my UILabels won't even initialize. It doesn't even matter if I force the text like this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad];
NSLog(@"show: %@", self.segmentedControlTitle);
self.segmentedControlTitle.text = @"test";
// Other code
Basically, when in the other language, it just displays the place holder text set in the Storyboard. All other titles that I have set so far work perfectly even using the actual localization method;
- (void)viewDidLoad
// The other code...
[self.segmentedControl setTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"VIEWALL_all", nil)
Any ideas? Can post more code if wanted, but I'm assuming everything is correctly established seeing as though it all works in English. It has to be something simple I've overlooked. I've tried Clean, deleting the app from simulators and my iPhone, trying the build again... same story. Happens on colleague's iPhone as well.
Thanks in advance. (Also I'm still a bit new to iOS dev just FYI)

The American Trucking Associations' For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index increased 1.5% in April, after rising 0.6% the previous month, according to newly released figures.
In April, the index equaled 129.1 versus 127.2 in March. The all-time high was in November 2013 at 131.
Compared with April 2013, the seasonally adjusted index increased 4.8%, which is the largest year-over-year gain of 2014. Year-to-date, compared with the same period last year, tonnage is up 2.9%.
The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 131.5 in April, which was 1.6% above the previous month at 129.4.
"April was the third straight gain in tonnage totaling 4%," said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello, who noted tonnage in April is off just 1.4% from the all-time high in November.
"I'm pleased that tonnage has been making solid progress after falling a total of 5.2% in December and January," he said. "And April's nice gain was better than the contraction in industrial production and the lackluster retail sales during the same month."
ATA calculates the tonnage index based on surveys from its membership.

Best viewed large.
A major snowstorm swept into my area overnight here in northeastern Kentucky, and so far I have about 6 inches of snow on the ground. It looks like a Winter Wonderland outside!
So far the freezing rain is still south of me headed east, but it is supposed to push up into my area by early afternoon. If that happens then we will have a real mess here with ice on top of all this snow!
All the local schools have shut down today, as well as our local Community College. The State Police were on tv early this morning telling motorists not to get on the roads unless they absolutely have to. We are expecting the ice to come next, and then 2-4 more inches of snow to fall on top of that later this evening and overnight. Temperatures are presently sitting at a chilly 25 degrees.
This is our second significant snowfall this Winter, and areas in higher elevations woke up to over a foot of snow!
I took this photo this morning, then added a few lighting and layering effects in Photoshop. I later experimented with the Orton effect until I reached the opacity and image I desired.
I got 1/2 snow day today from Huntington, close to 6 inches here also!
Picture Day!!!!
Hey Jason, you sure did; we are only a few miles apart!! I just hope the ice stays south of us or we will all be in for some treacherous roadways later this evening and tomorrow!!xx
– Van Coleman
gorgeous .. its coming this way ..thanks ! lol
Thanks so much LU!!xx
If this snowstorm is headed towards you, just make sure you are stocked up with everything you need; this system is supposed to be a "slow-mover," as we are supposed to get more ice and snow this evening and overnight!!
– Van Coleman
Beautiful work!
Awww…You say the sweetest things!! Thanks so very much Barbara for all your wonderful comments!!xx

Thanks so much Joseph!!

hope you have your wellingtons?
Hi Dougie!! Thanks for your comments, but what are Wellingtons?xx
– Van Coleman
Well done Van you are very clever. With all that snow you should get some great images. I think the black and white works well with snow scenes.
Thank you Terry; we had a lot of snow but a lot of ice as well! My state was declared a state of emergency here in Kentucky and over 80,000 people in my state alone were without power. I believe the numbers have climbed even higher since I saw the last UPDATE on tv!!xx

A note to readers. I'm currently working on a project, labeled "What's Bigger Than the Land" on this website. In regards to that effort, which has been taking up all of my writing time lately, I wish to credit the Brandborg family, the Matthew Hansen Endowment for Wilderness Studies Fund and the Montana Community Fund for their generous help and infinite patience with this unique Wilderness History project.
Hamilton, Montana
January 16th, 2015
Stewart Brandborg and I were watching six mule deer bucks making their way west along the ditch bank behind his house. It was sunset, and they were about thirty yards away, a good view, their forked antlers swaying like tree branches in a wind as they looked up to the noise of a car passing on the county road or simply to see what their buddies were eating. They moved slowly, unhurried. At leisure, which is what we were at, too, watching them as we were from out of Brandy's big picture window in the living room next to a crackling fire in the woodstove.
"Can you see them all yet?" he asked loudly.
"Not yet," I told him. "There's still some behind that stand of willow."
"That's not willow," he informed me. "That's chokecherry."
"They're still there," I corrected myself, "behind the chokecherry."
Brandy, who turns ninety this Groundhog Day, is mostly confined to a motorized wheelchair now, one of those all-terrain-vehicle kind of things with the joystick control mounted on the armrest at his fingertips, and he's good at it. He'll go outside to the woodpile, get a lapful of bullpine rounds and kindling, come back in and make up a roaring fire in a matter of minutes. In fact, like all people who have lived lives where expert fire making skills were occasionally required as a matter of survival, he's possessive about his ability to make his own fire. He generally won't let me help him.
Since his wife, AnnaVee, had passed away a little over a year ago, the family has hired regular help for him in the mornings until about mid-afternoon each day. They're local women who, like everyone else who enters his house more than a couple times, are now his close friends. They cook breakfast, lunch, run errands and clean the house. Then they leave a dinner on the stove for later, because Brandy, who is turning ninety this Groundhog's Day, still lives alone in his and AnnaVee's house, wheelchair be damned. Why shouldn't he?
"There they are!" I said. "They're up on the bank now." Brandy rose out of his chair, chuckling.
"Can you count 'em?"
"Yep. There's six, like I said before. At least two of 'em are four-points. Huge!"
"There were seven here this morning. Are you sure there's only six?"
"Yep. I saw 'em crossing the road when I was coming in and counted 'em then, too. They haven't multiplied any, I guess."
Brandy's house sat on the outer skirts of what now can fairly be termed the Hamilton suburbs, which means that there are lots of newer houses mixed in with lots of rural deer habitat, and it was still open archery season, not to mention the traffic. "Wonder what happened to the other one," he mused.
"I don't know," I said, and we both watched silently as maybe twenty antler tines that seemed to reach a full two feet above the buttons on the tops of their skulls raked the Bitterroot skyline, a view from Brandy's window framing every Bitterroot drainage and peak north, from Blodgett to Lolo and far beyond, all the way to Canada if you had enough imagination, which Brandy did.
"One of the many benefits of livin' in the Bitterroot," Brandy said matter-of factly as though these sorts of quiet dramas offered themselves up every day to a discriminating eye, which as often as not they did.
"They're a lot bigger than whitetail, aren't they?" I observed after a bit. "Maybe half again as big, don't you think?" I was a hunter myself, and had developed a self-serving interest in being able to size up big animals, and like almost every other hunter I knew I fancied myself pretty good at it.
Brandy sat back down at this, dialed his joystick toward me and wheeled a little closer, leaned over and in a confidential tone that was almost a whisper said, "Y'know, that's a common misconception. When we did the surveys at our checkpoints they weighed in about the same by the hundred."
There you go, I thought, and it doesn't take long to be reminded, in case I forgot, that Stewart M. Brandborg was one of a vanishing breed, of pre-eminent 20th Century conservationists who, for all their decades spent in Washington D.C. fighting and winning the watershed environmental laws that would define their era and ours, they remained old hands of the mountains, their perpetual students and admirers, and they never quit. I was, in other words, reminded that I was sitting next to a master.
One time, for instance, when he was a young boy, Charlie Engbretzon took him up to Nez Perce Pass to dig up some "Indian graves" that were located along the Ni Mii Puu trail[i] near its junction with the road. Charlie was one of his father's supervisors down on Deep Creek when they were punching the first road up into the upper Selway country, roadless and wild back then, and still is today partly because of this ill-conceived desecration expedition, as I'll try to explain.
The trail had been located across the pass forever. It followed the ridges between the Nez Perce homeland to the west, in the Clearwater country, and the buffalo hunting grounds to the east, along the westernmost fringes of the northern Great Plains. Native trails in the mountains almost always followed the ridges, because once you got up into the high country, it was more open than the tangled creek bottoms the whites preferred to punch their roads alongside of later. There was less downfall to move out of the way for your stock when you were up high, which made the ridgelines natural highways for the People, who had been moving along them since long before steel axes and crosscuts were available. When axes and saws did come when gold was discovered in Florence, Idaho in the 1860's, miners and packers cut the trail out a little more. A little later when the Forest Service came along it was trimmed up even more. But it was still the Ni Mii Puu trail and it was still ancient.
Then the Nez Perce Road came along, located over the Bitterroot Mountain Divide at the pass for only a few years, heading up from Nez Perce Creek to the east and down into Deep Creek to the west, to Magruder Ranger Station on Selway River, and it crossed the old Ni Mii Puu trail right in the saddle and when the road came in the graves were close enough to it for knowledge of their existence to become common. To be clear, these graves had long been remembered by the relatives of the ones who had died so long ago between the Clearwater and the buffalo grounds, and their relatives still visit them even to this day.
To further clarify, as an adult Brandy thoroughly recognized it would have been a "horrible desecration" to have dug the graves up. But this was the mid-thirties. Charlie Engbretzon was probably from someplace else originally, and Brandy was only a boy. Back then people took things as they were, which is to say they took them for granted. Most western public lands were wild, and they figured they always would be no matter what they did to them.
Being wild, the rugged Selway country was prone to frequent fires that were hard to catch in time to be in compliance with the Forest Service's new 10 a.m. rule, which mandated that a smoke had to be extinguished by 10 a.m. the morning after its discovery by a fire lookout before it got out of hand and became a forest conflagration. The Forest Service was as young as a boy eligible for the draft back in the Thirties, and the idea of putting out forest fires for the sake of timber was also new. But the rule was the new Law of the Land, which in those days meant that a fire lookout—another new idea--his horse and a pack mule must navigate the forest trails such as they existed to the site of the smoke and then chop, saw and dig with hand tools until the smoke was either out or until the lookout and his stock were exhausted in the attempt to make it so. The Rule, in other words, begged for roads, which were, ironically, seen as progressive forest management tools at the time.
When the Depression hit, FDR established the Civilian Conservation Corps, which roughly coincided with Brandy's dad, Guy Brandborg, being transferred to the Bitterroot National Forest as its new, progressive-minded supervisor. "The C.C.C.", Brandy recalls, "brought in hundreds of men…into camps where the army handled the physical facilities, ran the camps, brought in these young men from the impoverished states of the east, West Virginia, Ohio, many of whom had lived all their lives in poverty, a significant number had never worn shoes." The Regional Office saw its chance for its roads, and tasked Guy Brandborg, one of the most progressive foresters of that early era, with ramrodding the Nez Perce road down the Selway River from Magruder north to Paradise Guard Station. Then it was to follow the wild Selway down to Moose Creek Ranger Station, then out to Selway Falls where it would connect to the Kooskia road and on to Lewiston and everywhere else including Rome, because once you start building roads, they don't lead anywhere else but there. Guy Brandborg's father—Stewart's grandfather--had run for Governor of Minnesota on the Socialist Labor Party ticket in 1910, so he was a forester from Gifford Pinchot's stamp and an old-time progressive besides. But this road, if World War Two hadn't put a stop to it, would have sliced the largest contiguous wildlands left in the lower Forty-eight right in half, ripening it up for the big logging interests, who have generally been anathema to progressives of any era, waiting to sink its teeth into the wild country's juicy virgin forests.
Guy didn't flinch from the roading task, which seemed progressive enough for the times, putting impoverished men to work and all. Only a few could foresee any negative results for the land then, Guy, in fact, being one of them. But being his father's son, at the same time he saw his chance, too. He wasn't going to let a bunch of boys who'd never worn shoes before get away without a little education. So he took all those greenhorns and had them sit down for a few days, for maybe what was the Forest Service's first "in-house" training sessions for seasonal workers. He'd go over all the mundane things like safety and basic firefighting skills that, combined with the evolution of excruciatingly-dull government training movies, would put later generations of seasonal workers to sleep in the upright position--literally. But he would also teach them history and a little social science and other things that some appreciated. "You find many people back in the Bitterroot Valley," Brandy tells me. "Who have reunions, cite the wonderful experience and what a difference it made in their lives." But many of the young men couldn't see how history and social studies would help them figure out a bulldozer, which was what they were really itching to get on top of. The bulldozer, after all, was the up-and-coming thing, replacing the Fresno Scraper and the mule that the C.C.C. crews were still using on the Going-to-The-Sun Road up in Glacier Park, and that was what a lot of the guys wanted, not history, which couldn't keep you busy like one of those cantankerous new bulldozers could. "Always breaking down," Brandy recalls. "But they'd always find a way to fix them up enough to keep 'em going". And before World War Two stopped its progress, the Selway Road had reached all the way up to Paradise Guard Station deep in the wilderness. Things weren't looking good for the future of wild, sacred country or of old, sacred graves.
During this time Guy often took his young son Stewart along, who would fish for native cutthroat in the summer-placid Deep Creek pools while his dad and the C.C.C. boys would work on the road.
"That was the grandest exercise," Brandy explained, "in finding these capable seasonal workers who could go into these camps and give guidance to these young fellows in the skills of woodsmanship—trail maintenance, phone line maintenance, operation of equipment." One of these capable seasonal workers was Charlie Engbretson, "a great mountain man and Forest Service employee who took me under his wing just to build my enthusiasm for everything he could dream up….I think it was when I was eleven I went back and stayed with him at the camp in the Selway. Had my bed in his office and his wife was a few hundred yards away in the summer tent camp where they lived. I ate with the C.C.C. boys. It was down on the road job, we would hunt grouse, we would catch fish. First road going down the Selway."
Charlie seemed to have the leeway to take him on many adventures, and "always had the new scheme to make things exciting. We were gonna go up and find where these grouse were…I shot this deer and we'd been up this canyon wall of the Selway, little short stream, big cave at the head of this slope and he says 'y'know, this creek doesn't have a name. Let's call it Stewart Creek'. So he had a C.C.C. kids scribe a sign, stuck it up there. By god it got named Stewart creek on the map[ii]."
And then. "One time, we went out to dig up some Indian graves and a hell of a storm, almost tornado conditions, hit the Idaho-Montana line as we were going up the old Nez Perce trail from the pass, from Nez Perce Creek over into Deep Creek. We had a C.C.C. kid along and some wire netting. We were gonna put the (soil) through that for artifacts and we were gonna have a great day diggin'... And this storm hit and it put trees down all around us. So we got off the Divide. There was lightening and wind. We finally got back down to the car, and after sittin' this storm out for a while, started down the road, ten miles down Deep Creek, or whatever it was to the Deep Creek camp, and it took a few hours because there were so many big trees down on the road. That spooked Charlie. He figured that was an omen. We never mentioned it again."
Upon reflection, of course, Brandy realizes they were on the verge of doing "terrible damage to the souls that had died", and that it was the storm that had stopped them from doing it. Charlie and Stewart were true believers after that, and at least with Brandy, this lesson stuck. Maybe that's because he received it when he was so impressionable, and also because this lesson from the souls bedded down in the mountain was the same one he received from his parents, over and over again, about "the beauty of the mountains and the meadows and the valleys and the crags. Those kinds of things."
The CCC program stopped as the storm that became a hurricane started over in Euorpe and resources became scarcer. World War Two saved the Selway country from its road leading to Rome, just as a summer mountain storm saved some graves from desecration by the otherwise-well-intentioned. Decades later Brandy would cash in on these early, uncommon experiences by having a pivotal hand in saving the Selway country twice more from desecration—once when the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building a seven-hundred- foot dam dubbed "Penny Cliffs" above Kooskia, Idaho in the 1950's, which would have flooded the whole country along with any road along the wild Selway River that his dad would have punched in if World War Two hadn't intervened, and once more in the 1970's when the Forest Service purposely excluded the "Magruder Corridor" from its official wilderness proposal in order to finish the road—safe from flooding now thanks in large part to Stewart Brandborg! --and "get the cut out".
Given his pivotal role in the passage of the Wilderness Law itself through an always-unholy Congress, you could say he saved it thrice.
"The imprint of that wonderful life," Brandy recalls as he explains why he spent so many years in Washington D.C. fighting the Fight. "Of being in the woods was lasting. You don't get over that."
