Destination Description
Mali is a developing country in western Africa which experienced political instability and insecurity following the coup d'état in March 2012, northern rebellion, and terrorist occupation of the north, where there is ongoing conflict. The official language is French; however, Bambara is the lingua franca in addition to another thirteen local languages also spoken and having the status of national languages. The capital of Mali is Bamako (population 1.8 million, according to a 2009 census estimate). Facilities for tourism are limited and their development has stalled during the recent period of instability.
There is a serious threat of terrorist activity in Mali's three northern regions (Timbuktu, Gao, and Kidal, which make up nearly 60 percent of the country's area) and in remote areas along the Mauritanian border. Following the fall of the north to rebel groups in April 2012, several terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), increased their use of the area as a safe haven for holding hostages and planning operations. While the Government of Mali (GOM), assisted by international military forces, regained control over the major northern cities in early 2013, these terrorist organizations still retain the capacity to launch attacks from their bases in the countryside, and attacks still remain a threat throughout the country. During the past six months, there has been an increase in asymmetric attacks targeting United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) peacekeepers. Despite peaceful presidential and legislative elections in 2013, which improved Mali's political situation following a 2012 coup d'état, rebellion, and terrorist occupation of the north, substantial concerns remain regarding the security situation throughout Mali. In October 2014, Mali reported two imported cases of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) from Guinea. Thus far there has been limited transmission of EVD in Mali which has not experienced the epidemic that is ongoing in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Read the Department of State's Fact Sheet on Mali for additional information on U.S.- Mali relations.
Entry, Exit & Visa Requirements
U.S. passport holders require a valid passport with a visa and at least one blank page for entry to Mali. If you are not able to show evidence upon arrival of a current yellow fever immunization, you may be required to be re-immunized on the spot as a condition of entry into the country. The Embassy strongly discourages this option.
Visit the Embassy of Mali website for the most current visa information and entry requirements. Inquiries can also be made at Malian embassies or consulates worldwide. Visas cannot be obtained on arrival at Bamako Sénou International Airport; travelers must obtain a visa in advance.
Travelers departing from Mali may currently experience additional airport screening procedures and other restrictions (in Mali and in any transit/destination countries) due to the presence of EVD in Mali. Travelers should arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance of any flight and consult relevant authorities for the most up-to-date information in advance of travel, as guidance may change without notice. Please see our Fact Sheet on EVD for additional information.
Travelers may also wish to visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for the most current health and immunization information for travelers to Mali, including with respect to EVD.
The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Mali.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page
Safety and Security
Security risks continue to exist in Mali. Major cities in northern Mali (including Gao and Timbuktu) were liberated by French, Malian, and other international forces in January 2013, but violent extremist elements including but not limited to al-Qaida in the Lands of Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Ansar al-Dine, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad (MUJAO), and extremists tied to the newly formed al-Murabitun, remain active in the region, although they have been mostly dislodged from the major population centers, including Gao and Timbuktu. Both the United States and the European Union have designated AQIM as a terrorist organization, and, as noted in the Department of State's Worldwide Caution, AQIM has declared its intention to attack Western targets throughout the Sahel (including Mali, Mauritania, and Niger). This group has claimed responsibility for numerous recent kidnappings/attempted kidnappings and other violent events in the region. Additionally, in August 2013, an announcement was released via Mauritanian press that MUJAO had merged with Mokhtar Belmokhtar's al-Mulathamun Battalion to form a new jihadist group, al-Murabitun. In January 2014 Belmokhtar, the militant leader responsible for the attack on the In Amenas gas facility in Algeria, declared its continued intent to attack France, its interests and its allies for the ongoing military intervention in northern Mali.
A United Nations peacekeeping mission, MINUSMA, has also been deployed in Mali, and is programmed to have more than 12,000 personnel in Mali when fully operational, but currently is operating at limited capacity of about 75 percent. About 1,000 French troops remain in the country, conducting counterterrorism operations that target extremist elements, in collaboration with Malian security forces.
While the security situation in Bamako remains relatively stable, there has been a recent uptick in possible police harassment and violent crime in Bamako, including several armed carjacking incidents, one with a fatality of a French citizen. The potential for attacks throughout the country, including in Bamako, remains. There are also ongoing security concerns and military operations taking place in the northern and western parts of the country. The situation in the north remains fluid.
Large and small periodic street demonstrations occur regularly throughout Mali. U.S. citizens should avoid street demonstrations and maintain security awareness at all times. Although demonstrations can occur spontaneously and the majority are contained by security forces, some have quickly turned violent, particularly in northern regions and at university locations in the south, and have resulted in deaths.
For hundreds of years, the Sahel has been used by traffickers of arms, drugs, and persons because of its remoteness and centralized location between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. While these elements usually attempt to avoid contact with outsiders, even an accidental encounter could generate a violent response due to the illicit nature of their activities.
The U.S. Embassy has restricted all overnight travel outside of the city of Bamako for its direct-hire official employees, except with written approval. Official Embassy personnel are permitted to take day trips without prior approval to the following authorized areas: Bamako; the northern Koulikoro Region along National Roads 1, 4, and 14 (RN1, RN4, and RN14) from Kolokani to Banamba through Mourdiah; all southern parts of the Koulikoro Region; all of the Sikasso Region; parts of the Segou Region, from the cities of Souba, Segou, and San along National Road 6 (RN6); and areas in that region to the south. Though these restrictions do not apply to private U.S. citizens, they should be taken into account by all U.S. citizens contemplating travel to and within Mali.

- Take some time before traveling to consider your personal security and checking for useful tips for traveling safely abroad.
CRIME: Violent crime against expatriates in Mali is infrequent, although there has been a recent uptick in armed carjackings in Bamako. You should be alert and remain vigilant while driving; not make any unplanned stops; avoid driving alone at night; keep doors locked and windows up, even if the need arises to speak to someone outside of the vehicle; and be aware of your environment. If you are forced to stop your vehicle, we recommend compliance with demands of would-be assailants, as they may be armed. There are sporadic reports of nighttime robberies occurring on the roads outside of the capital; tourists should not drive outside of Bamako at night.
Petty crimes, such as pickpocketing and simple theft, are common in urban areas. Closely guard your passports and wallets when in crowded outdoor areas and open-air markets. The U.S. Embassy advises against traveling on the Bamako-Dakar railroad, which transports passengers only as far as Kayes. You should be vigilant for pickpockets, especially at night. Criminals will not hesitate to use violence if they encounter resistance from their victims. There have also been recent reports of possible police harassment of expatriates. When asked to stop by police, stop only in well-lit areas, or places where several officers are posted.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. We can:
- Replace a stolen passport.
- Help you find appropriate medical care if you are the victim of violent crimes such as assault or rape.
- Put you in contact with the appropriate police authorities, and if you want us to, contact family members or friends.
- Help you understand the local criminal justice process and direct you to local attorneys, although it is important to remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting the crime.
Always request a copy of the police report. Due to the vigilantism which often occurs when criminals are apprehended in Mali, it is best to avoid the large crowds that may gather at the scene of a crime, a vehicle accident, or any altercation.
Please see our information for victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
Local Laws & Special Circumstances
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Mali, you are subject to its laws. Foreign laws and legal systems can be vastly different from our own. Persons violating Mali's laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Mali are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. In Mali, you may be taken in for questioning if you don't have your passport with you or if you take pictures of certain buildings. In Mali, driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. If you break local laws in Mali, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or prosecution.
There are also some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the United States. You can be prosecuted in the United States for engaging in sexual conduct with children or for using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country regardless of the legality of these activities under that country's laws. Counterfeit and pirated goods are illegal in the United States and if you purchase them in a foreign country, you may be breaking local law as well.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in that country, others may not. To ensure that the United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
Cultural Property: Mali is a signatory to the Treaty on Cultural Property, which restricts exportation of Malian archeological objects, in particular those from the Niger River Valley. Visitors seeking to export any such property are required by Malian law to obtain an export authorization from the National Museum in Bamako. It is advisable to contact the Embassy of Mali in Washington or the nearest Malian consulate for specific information regarding customs requirements. U.S. Customs and Border Protection may impose corresponding import restrictions in accordance with the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act.
Currency/Access to Funds: Currency exchange facilities are slow and often use out-of-date exchange rates. The U.S. Embassy is unable to provide exchange facilities for private U.S. citizens. There are several ATMs in Bamako that accept U.S. citizens' credit/debit cards, though they do not function reliably. Maximum withdrawals are generally limited to $400, and local banks charge up to $20 per transaction for use of their ATMs. There are some ATMs outside of Bamako in Segou, Sikasso, Koutiala, Gao, and Mopti, though they are sporadic and occasionally inoperational. Credit cards are accepted only at the largest hotels, Banque Atlantique, a few travel agencies (for an extra fee), and very few select restaurants. Cash advances from credit cards are available in Mali only via Western Union.
Photography: Exercise caution when taking photographs in Mali. Photographing any official object, entity, or person is restricted. These restrictions include infrastructure, facilities, government buildings, as well as individuals. You should obtain explicit permission from the Malian government before photographing transportation facilities and government buildings. Taking a photograph without permission in any public area or around any of the above listed facilities often provokes a prompt response from security personnel or offends the people being photographed. Taking photos of the U.S. Embassy in Bamako is prohibited.
Telephone Calls: International telephone calls are expensive, and collect calls cannot be made from outside of Bamako.
WOMEN TRAVELERS: IF you are a woman traveling abroad, please review our travel tips for Women Travelers.
LGBT RIGHTS: There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) events in Mali. However, in practice, societal discrimination is widespread. For more detailed information about LGBT rights in Mali you may review the State Department's annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. For further information on LGBT travel, please read our LGBT Travel Information page.
ACCESSIBILITY: While in Mali, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from in the United States. There is no specific law protecting the rights of persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental disabilities in employment, education, access to health care, or in the provision of other state services. There is no law mandating access to transportation, communication and public buildings for persons with disabilities. No special accommodations are made or officially reduced fares or rates are available to persons with disabilities in public transportation or taxis, communications, lodging, medical facilities, restaurants, cafés, bars or other tourist spots. Foot paths and pedestrian-friendly road crossings are rare and generally are inaccessible to persons with disabilities.
Medical facilities in Mali are extremely limited, especially outside of Bamako. U.S.-standard care does not exist. The U.S. Embassy in Bamako maintains a list of physicians and other healthcare professionals who have indicated willingness to treat U.S. citizen patients.
Most U.S. medicines are unavailable; European medications are more easily found, and can be obtained at pharmacies throughout Bamako, and are usually less expensive than those in the United States. Travelers should carry with them an adequate supply of needed medication and prescription drugs, along with copies of the prescriptions, including the generic names for the drugs. Be careful to avoid purchasing potentially dangerous counterfeit medications when buying on the local market in Mali, as well as those with a short shelf life that may no longer be effective.
Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease that is highly prevalent throughout subSaharan Mali in all seasons and sporadically in some areas in northern Mali. Before traveling you should discuss with your doctor the best antimalarial medication to avoid malaria. Travelers should carry and use CDC recommended insect repellents containing either 20% DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535. Treating clothing and tents with permethrin and sleeping in screened or air conditioned rooms under insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets will help diminish bites from mosquitoes as well ticks, fleas, chiggers, etc, some of which may also carry infections.
All routinely recommended immunizations for the US should be up to date. Measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, pertussis and chickenpox are much more common than in the US, especially among children. Additionally, hepatitis A and typhoid immunization is recommended for all travelers. Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all those who may have sexual contacts, tattoos or require medical treatment while in Mali.
Yellow Fever immunization is recommended for those over nine months old who are traveling in the southern areas of Mali.
Rabies immunization is recommended for all travelers staying for more than four weeks or who will have remote, rural travel or expect animal exposure. Even in urban areas dogs may have rabies and bites and scratches from dogs, bats or other mammals should be immediately cleaned with soap and water and medical evaluation sought to determine if additional rabies immunization is warranted.
Meningococcal meningitis is much more common than in the US and immunization with the quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine should be given to all children and health care workers, especially during the dry season (December through June), it should be considered for all adults. Epidemic meningococcal disease occurs frequently in the southern regions of Mali.
Diarrheal illness is very common among travelers even in large cities and luxury accommodations. Travelers can diminish diarrhea risk through scrupulous washing of hands and use of hand sanitizers, especially before food preparation and eating. The greatest risk of traveler's diarrhea is from contaminated food. Choose foods and beverages carefully to lower your risk (see Food & Water Safety). Eat only food that is cooked and served hot; avoid food that has been sitting on a buffet. Eat raw fruits and vegetables only if you have washed them in clean water or peeled them.
You can find detailed information on vaccinations and other health precautions on the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, including EVD in Mali, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website, which contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information. On November 16, the CDC issued a new Travel Notice for Mali advising travelers in Mali to practice enhanced precautions regarding EVD.
Travel & Transportation
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Mali, you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Mali is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
U.S. citizens traveling by road in Mali should exercise extreme caution. Mali has paved roads leading from Bamako to most major cities in the south and east. During the rainy season from mid-June to mid-September, some unpaved roads may be impassable. On many roads outside of the capital, deep sand and ditches are common. Four-wheel drive vehicles with spare tires and emergency equipment are recommended. Travelers must be prepared to repair their own vehicles should they break down or become stuck. Travelers should also carry plenty of food and water.
We strongly urge all travelers to avoid traveling after dark on roads outside of urban centers. The roads from Gao to Kidal and Menaka, and the roads around Timbuktu, are desert tracks with long isolated stretches. Travel on these roads is strongly discouraged due to the threat of kidnapping and terrorism (see SAFETY AND SECURITY section above).
Drivers travel on the right-hand side of the road in Mali. Speed limits range from 40-60 km per hour (25-40 miles per hour) within towns, to 100 km per hour (60 miles per hour) between cities. Road conditions often require much lower speeds. Due to safety concerns, we recommend against the use of motorbikes, van taxis, and public transportation. Excessive speeds, poorly maintained vehicles, lack of street lighting, and roving livestock pose serious road hazards. Many vehicles are not well-maintained, and headlights are either extremely dim or not used at all, while rear lights or reflectors are often missing or broken. Driving conditions in the capital of Bamako can be particularly dangerous due to limited street lighting, the absence of sidewalks for pedestrians, and the number of motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Mali, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Mali's Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
Some international flights have occasionally been canceled due to low travel volume, but in those situations travelers have usually been notified in advance. Travelers wishing to depart the country should check with commercial airlines for the airport's operational status before traveling to the airport.

This is a better glue if you are gluing your patch to non-fabric, such as leather, wood, perhaps nylon. It is the strongest glue we offer and is also recommended for caps which have a curved surface.

See detailed instructions below
Here are the detailed instructions for Patch Attach which are also included with your order. Look them over now and see if Patch Attach is for you.
These instructions are intended to supplement the package instructions. Your
patch has been made using a 400-degree process, and Patch Attach also uses heat. There
will be a slight migration of dye to your pressing cloth from your patch but the patch
will still look as vibrant as ever. A sample patch in 2 pieces is enclosed for you to test
with, and to compare the non-attached with the attached patch to assure yourself the dye
migration from your new patches will be minimal. If you are doubtful about using Patch
Attach, then please just sew on the patches! You may return the unopened package of Patch
Attach and we will credit you the full $5 plus your shipping cost of ~ $.60.
Patch Attach works best onto cotton fabrics. Patterned polyester fabrics may be damaged as the heat from the iron may cause the dyes in your fabric to reactivate. Also see the package instructions about other fabrics to avoid.
Unscrew the lid and remove the inner seal.
Snip a small amount off the applicator tip
Apply a small but steady amount to the edge stitching on the back of the patch. Do not get too close to the outer edge so that the glue wont ooze out onto the garment when you iron it. Do not apply glue to the interior of the patch.
Let the glue dry at least 20 minutes.
Set your iron to its hottest setting with no steam.
Place the patch in its desired location and cover with a cotton pressing cloth. An old t-shirt works well. Make sure each patch you apply with Patch Attach uses a fresh section of the pressing cloth, since a small amount of the dye on the patch will reactivate and could be redeposited if that section of the pressing cloth is re-ironed.
Press with heavy pressure for 60 seconds. Move the iron around a little.
Turn garment over and press from the other side for 30 more seconds. Be sure the patch is in contact with a fresh section of the pressing cloth in case the dyes migrate.

Stronger way to graft peach tree
Tony(Zone 5. Omaha, Nebraska)January 21, 2014
I will get this method a try this spring.
Here is a link that might be useful: Peach tree grafting
Scott F Smith(6B/7A MD)
Thats a grape grafting method, that grafting crew probably mainly does grapes since they are somewhere on the west coast. I don't have problems with peach grafts breaking off but my persimmon bark grafts have been too fragile and I would be interested in trying that method on them to see if it makes a more stable graft.
fruitnut Z7 4500ft SW TX
Not somewhere on the west coast. His orchard backed up to the Kings river which drains Kings Canyon National park. My former property was on the Kings river probably 10-20 miles up stream. He also mentioned Honey Royale nectarine, my favorite fruit. Still makes me sick that I had to leave.

Hmmmm. . . not quite what I had in mind. Back to the drawing board.
I found these Styrofoam pumpkins and squash at the dollar store. I'm on layer four of fifteen. Now all I have to figure out is how to support the mold so the top doesn't get all squishy and flattened out. I don't think they'll be done in time for my upcoming sale at the Ladies Night Out. . . .
Oh well, maybe next year.
This year they'll enhance my fall display in the front garden.. At least, that's the plan.

United States Patent 3,249,833 CAPACITGR TRANSDUCER Robert E. Vosteen, Vernon St., Middleport, N.Y. Continuation of application Ser. No. 66,274, Oct. 31, 1960. This application Nov. 16, 1964, Ser. No. 411,642 6 Qlaims. (Cl. 317-246) This application is a continuation of my copending application Serial No. 66,274, filed October 31, 1960, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an improved capacitor transducer device, and more particularly, to such a device having particular application in the measuring field, such as in measurement of a non-electrical property by electrical means.
This invention meets a long-felt requirement for a single capacitor device which is simple, structurally sound, and adaptable to a plurality of useful purposes, such as measuring, detecting, and signal-ling, as, for example, in telemetering. The structure of the capacitor device includes a metallic foil disposed parallel to and between a pair of metal plates, thereby forming a pair of capacitors, so that i change in position of the foil relative to the two plates can be utilized to derive a desired indication of a given parameter. Among the applications of the device is its use as a means for electrically detecting and measuring a change in pressure. In this application, it is possible to subject opposite sides of the foil to different pressures, thereby causing displacement of the foil toward one or the other of the capacitor plates. The change in capacitiescan thus be detected by an appropriate circuit, whereby the change in pressure can be detected or measured. A problem arises with this arrangement, however, in that deformation of the foil resulting from the differential pressure can be permanent. This phenomena may be likened to canning, or the deformation of the ends of a can due to differential pressures within and without the can. In the novel structure of this improved transducer, this problem is met and the undesirable canning is eliminated. A still further problem, in structure of the type represented by this transducer, is the effect of heat variation between the component parts, often resulting in deleterious effects upon the accurate performance of the derangement, a high distributed capacitance exits between the finish of the primary winding and the start of the secondary winding relative to the distributed capacitance between the start of the primary winding and the finish This problem is also met within the teaching of this invention by .a novel capacitance balance adjustment. Within the same circuitry, another problem exists due to leakage between the primary and secondary windings or any leakage to ground,
this leakage resulting in an undesirable quadrature component of unbalance in the bridge circuit. This problem is also met within the teaching of this invention by a novel resistance balance control.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved capacitor transducer device. I
Another object isto provide an improved capacitor device utilizing a thin metallic foil disposed parallel to and between capacitive plates whereby a differential capacitance may be obtained.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved capacitor device which .may be subjected to a 3,249,833 Patented May 3, 1966 differential force and which may be readily utilized in a plurality of applications.
A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved differential capacitance transducer for electrically measuring non-electric properties.
Further objects, features, and, attendant advantages of the invention will become apparent by reference to the following specification and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a detecting and measuring circuit embodying various features of the invention; 3 Fla. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the differential capacitance transducer of a preferred embodiment of this invention.
With reference to FIG. 1, there is shown at 10 a source of high frequency electrical energy. In the preferred embodiment of this circuit, this is an oscillator of suitable type. The output voltage from oscillator 10 is applied across half of the primary winding of a transformer generally indicated at 20, and the entire primary is'shunted by a tuning capacitor .11. A first portion 22 of the primary winding of transformer 20 extends between the start S and a center tap 23, while a second portion 21 extends between center tap 23 and the finish F. A first portion 31 of the secondary of transformer 20 extends between the start S and a center tap 33, while a second portion 32 of the secondary extends between center tap 33 .and the finishf F.
A capacitor device, generally indicated at 40 has opposed capacitor plates 41 and 32. A thin, flexible metallic foil 43 is mounted parallel to and between plates 41 and 42. Foil 43 is grounded. A Wheatstone bridge circuit, generally indicated at 30, incorporates the secondary .of transformer 20 and the capacitance transducer 40.
Specifically, the bridge comprises portion 31 of the sec onda-ry of transformer .20, and in series therewith, the capacitance existing between plate 41 of transducer 40 and the metallic foil 43. In parallel with this leg is the second portion 32 of the secondary of transformer 20 and, in series therewith, the capacitance formed by plate 42 and the foil 43. Since the foil 43 is grounded, it will be apparent that the output voltage of the bridge will appear between center tap 33 and ground. A wire 34 connects center tap 33 to a pre-amplifier, generally indicated at 50. The output side of pre-amplifier 50 is connected by a wire 51 to an attenuator, generally indicated at 70. Wire 51 includes the secondary 62 of a transformer generally indicated at 60. The primary 61 of transformer 60 is connected, on one side, to ground, and on the other side, to the movable tap of potentiometer 12 which itself is connected across primary winding 21. The output side of .attenuator 70 is connected by a wire 71, through a blocking condenser 72, to an amplifier, generally indicated at 80. Attenuator output wire 71 is connected to,
the start S of the primary of transformer 20. The output of amplifier is applied across the primary winding 91 of a transformer, generally indicated at 90. The voltage appearing across secondary 92 of transformer is applied to a phase detector, generally indicated at 100. The phase detector compares the bridge unbalance voltage from transformer 90 with a reference voltage from oscillator 10, which is supplied through lead 13 connected to center tap 93 of the secondary 92 of the transformer.
Across the primary of transformer 20, from start to finis'h thereof, there is connected a potentiometer 24. The movable tap of the potentiometer is connected through a resistor 25 to the center tap 33 of the secondary of transformer 20. A variable capacitor 26, and a fixed capacitor 27 in parallel therewith, are connected between the start of the primary of transformer 20 and the finish of the secondary.
The operation of the circuit of FIG. 1 will now be explained for the circumstance wherein differential pressure is the quantity or parameter being measured or detected. The high frequency output from oscillator 14 is appiled through transformer 20 to the bridge circuit 30. Differential pressure acting upon opposite sides of the foil 43 of transducer 40 causes a deflection of the foil toward one of the plates 41 or 42, and away from the other. The resulting change in capacitance creates an unbalance in the bridge 30, resulting in a voltage of amplitude determined by the magnitude of the pressure difference, between center tap 33 and ground. This signal is applied to pre-amplifier 50 which is preferably of the transistor type and is designed to have a very high input impedance to avoid loading the transducer impedance. The output of the pre-amplifier is supplied to attenuator 70 through the secondary of transformer 60 which provides a voltage which bucks out residual in-phase voltage unbalance from pre-arnplifier 50. The attenuated signal is amplified by amplifier 80, whichfeeds the signal through transformer 90 to the phase detector 100. The detector furnishes a voltage of magnitude responsive to the magnitude of the bridge output of polarity dependent upon whether the output is in phase or 180 out of phase with respect to the oscillator voltage. The amplitude of the phase detector output voltage is indicated by meter 101 and is proportional to the differential pressure which produced the bridge unbalance.
With particular reference to transformer 20, it will be understood that a high distributed capacitance will exist between the finish F of the primary and the start S of the secondary, relative to distributed capacitance between the start S of the primary and the finish F of the secondary. In order to compensate for the unbalance of distributed capacitance, a capacitance balance or null balance adjustment is provided. This adjustment comprises capacitors 26 and 27 which are connected, in parallel, between the start S of the primary and the finish F' of the secondary. Capacitor 27 is fixed, while the adjustment is provided by variation of capacitor 26.
Leakage between the primary and secondary of transformer 20 or any leakage to ground, disproportionate as between primary and secondary, will result in a quadrature component of unbalance in the bridge output. To correct this undesirable result of leakage, a portion of the primary voltage selected by the movable tap of potentiom e ter 24 is connected across the bridge output.
It has been pointed out that transformer 60 provides a bucking voltage bucking out residual in-phase or 180 out-of-phase bridge unbalance from pre-amplifier 50. In similar manner, the connection of the output circuit of the oscillator to wire 71 provides a bucking voltage against undesirable quadrature voltage components induced in attenuator 70.
Having described a measuring and detecting device incorporating the transducer of the invention, as well as other novel circuit features, I will now describe in detail the novel features of my capacitor device forming, in the illustrative embodiment, a differential pressure transducer.
With reference to FIGS, 2 and 3, there is generally indicated at 40 the capacitor device of this invention, having capacitor plates 41 and 42. Disposed between plates 41 and 42 there is a thin metallic web or foil 43. A pair of annular flanges 44 is arranged with the adjacent radial faces of the flanges in abutment with one another. The outer peripheries of flanges 44 define the outer cylindrical contour of the transducer, while the inner peripheries define the cylindrical wall housing the transducer device. End walls for the cylindrical housing are provided by covers 45 closing the opposite axial ends of the cylindrical housing. Retained between coinciding grooves in the abutting radial faces of flanges 44 is an O-ring 46 of compressible material.
Foil 43 extends between the outer peripheries of flanges 44. By the assembly of the flanges 44 into abutting relationship with the foil 43 and ring 46 disposed therebetween, foil 43 lies alongside ring 46 and is caused to be deformed so as to pass around ring 46. Flanges 44 and foil 43 are provided with holes to receive fastening means, such as bolts 47, by which the flanges are drawn together in tight abutting relationship. Since the foil extends from one periphery to the other of the flanges 44, the force exerted normal to the plane of the foil 43 and ring 46, the latter of which is slightly deformable, results in the placing of the foil 43 under tension. The tensile force thus produced in foil 43 causes it to return to its symmetrical plane coextensive with the abutting faces of flanges 44 after each deformation of the foil caused by differential pressure between the opposite sides thereof.
To assist in the exertion of force upon foil 43 through compression of ring 46 against it, it is preferable to form the annular groove in one of the flanges 44 of square U-shaped cross section, and to form the annular groove in the face of the other flange 44 of V-shaped cross section. The foil preferably lies on the side of ring 46 within the V-shaped groove. Thus, by means of the walls of the V-shaped groove, the foil is pressed upon ring 46 by force substantially perpendicular to a tangent thereto, thus avoiding penetration of the foil by the sharp corner of the U-shaped groove.
As best seen in FIG. 3, fastening means 47 which draws the adjacent flanges 44 tightly together, can be located about the cylindrical circumference of the flange body, so as to exert uniform pressure throughout the circumference of ring 46 and thus equal tension throughout foil 43.
Attached to condenser plates 41 and 42 are shafts 48 which extend through bushings 48 in covers 45. Shafts 48 and bushings 48' are cooperatively threaded by an extremely fine, micrometer thread. The remote or outer ends of shafts 48 are provided with handles 49. Thus, by means of handles 49, either of the plates 41 and 42 may be adjusted toward and away from foil 43 in a fine adjustment.
In capacitance devices of this type, and especially in the configuration heretofore described, it will be apparent that unequal expansion of any of the parts relative to the other parts will result in deleterious effects upon the accurate performance of the transducer. For example, considering that a fine micrometer adjustment of the position of plate 41 or 42 relative to foil 43 may be made, any uneven expansion or deformation of a cover 45, which carries the shaft 48, would result in displacement of plate 41 or 42 within the capacitance space. To obviate such problems, the materails comprising the constituent parts are chosen so as to have a substantially identical temperature coeflicient. Flanges 44, foil 43, plates 41 and 42, and shafts 48 and 48 are preferably constructed of aluminum. Covers 45 are constructed of a phenolic resin having a temperature coefficient substantially equal to that of aluminum. Ring 46, being symmetrical, will be equally affected axially and about its entire circumference, so that its temperature coefficient will not be critical within reasonable limits. Thus, heat to which the capacitor parts are subjected will cause no uneven or asymmetrical expansion of the parts with consequent inaccuracy in the detection, measuring or other function of the transducer.
For adaptation of the transducer of this invention to sense differential pressure, as described in connection with FIG. 1, the interior capacitance space is subjected to pressure different on one side of the foil from that on the other. For that purpose, a passage 201 is provided through one of the flanges 44 so as to enter the capacitor space within the flange. Connecting with passage 201 is a suitable pipe or conduit 202, which may be connected to any desired source of pressure to be measured or detected. As best shown in FIG. 3, a pipe or conduit 203 connects with a passage, not shown, entering the space number of other and varied applications.
since the foil 43 is grounded, it is possible to apply, to
opposite the foil 43 from that with which passage 201 connects.
While the adaptation of the transducer hasbeen set forth in the particular detecting device of FIG. 1, it should be understood that the transducer may have utility in a For example,
one of the capacitor plates 41 or 42, a high frequency voltage, and to the other plate a high frequency voltage of either the same or different frequency. Across the terminals of the transducer, then, may be taken a difference frequency which may be transmitted in various applications having great utility, such as in the art of telemetering.
From the foregoing, it is apparent that the invention thus described provides a transducer which is rugged, simple, reliable, and adaptable to a number of useful applications. When incorporated in a bridge circuit of the type described, it can be used to sense differential pressure and thus indicate change in pressure by generating a signal responsive to unbalance in the bridge circuit. In this use of the transducer, various problems arise in adapting the transducer to the particular circuit; however, these problems have been over-come by the novel circuit features described above.
Although the foregoing embodiment has been illustrated and described, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the construction arrangements of the various parts without departing from the scope of the invention; I therefore do not wish to be limited to the specific embodiments shown or suggested, but only by the scope of the limitations which follow.

A Wide Range Loudspeaker System
This speaker system makes use of an improved heavy duty dynamic speaker for reproduction of the range from the lowest frequencies to 2000 cps. Above 2000 cps the curved electrostatic speaker gives uniform sound distribution over a wide angle. The dynamic speaker is mounted in a critically damped enclosure designed for smooth response. The cabinet also houses the amplifier and record changer. The tone arm has a tuned damper attached which improves the microphonic and rumble rejection ratios. Amplifier response is adjusted to complement other components in the system, so overall response is flat within plus or minus 5 db from 32 cps to 20,000 cps. This system is the heart of Philco Corporation's 1958 Phonorama IV.

In a stunning upset that will certainly send shockwaves through the amateur geek-league sports world, the Heien group beat the Jewett lab at beach volleyball in the inaugural CBC Cup challenge this past Saturday afternoon. The best of three match was interrupted briefly by a passing monsoon and the play was best characterized as sporadic. The CBC Cup, a phoenix rising from the ashes of the storeroom junk pile, envisioned, designed and built by the Jewett lab will be taking a place in the Heien trophy case waiting for the next group to levy a challenge and win this trophy of trophies.
CBC Cup Rules: The current holders of the cup (in this case, the Heien group) can be challenged in any sport by any CBC group with no direct challenge-backs. They have to accept the challenge, but if multiple challenges are made with a one-week period then they can chose the challenge that they wish to accept. Smaller CBC groups may challenge as combined teams provided they clearly indicate where the coveted cup will find a home in the event that they win the challenge. In the spirit of the CBC Cup the PIs should be involved in the event, either as player, coach or cheerleader. Taunting and trash talk is not in the spirit of the cup unless it is science-related taunting or trash talk.
Congrats to Flora!
Flora has successfully completed her oral comprehensive exam and is a full doctoral candidate!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets The idea of using a magnet for a save the date is simply brilliant. Our families are spread out across the country and we are right in the middle, so we were hoping by sending out save the dates a year in advance would give people enough time to plan/fund their trips here. Being able to hang the save the date on the fridge so you can see it every day is such a great idea!!! The quality is great, the colors are vibrant, and the size is huge for what you're paying. Thanks!
Amazing Save The Date Magnets
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets I shopped around at different vendors for save the date magnets. Being a bride on a budget (as most are), I was looking for the lowest price but still required that the quality be there. Magnet Street came through at a very reasonable price and our magnets arrived in a cute magnetic box. Our family loves them, and so do we. Easy customization and many layouts to choose from. You can't go wrong with Magnet Street!
Beautiful Invitations
Botanical Grace Gate-fold Invitations Style of invitation completely captured the theme of the wedding. Quality and price were comparable. Ease of personalization and ordering made it easy for a busy schedule! Prompt processing and delivery. I've already recommended to another bride-to-be!
Wonderful Quality
Watercolor Ombre Square Invitations Received my invitations last week and I am so impressed. They are great quality. They were so easy to customize online, shipped very quickly and I am thoroughly pleased with them. I chose the Luxe Pearl paper and was not disappointed, the quality was well worth the price.
Elegant and fun
Twinkling Hearts Rectangle Invitations This invitation caught our eye because we'll have strings of lights just like those pictured as decorations at our venue. The invitation fits us perfectly - we wanted something that was both elegant and fun, and this card is definitely both! Our main wedding colors were not available but we chose the green option, which I think complements our wedding colors well. It's also a great deal - we wanted nice invitations but also did not want to bust the budget on invites. We took advantage of a Valentine's Day special and the total price was really reasonable. In fact, with the money we saved on invites, we can afford to come back and order our programs from this site. Originally we were thinking we'd have to make programs ourselves, but it's so nice to have one less thing on the to-do list! So thank you Magnet Street!

- Release Date:
- Studio:Warner Home Video
- Production Year:2010
In Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are sisters hexed by a centuries-old curse…and coping with a possible love match (Aidan Quinn) for one, a zombie (Goran Visnjic) for the other and a need to resume the age-old witchcraft taught by two doting aunts (Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest). Meanwhile, three more modern-day witches (Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer) yearn for Mr. Right in a New England town. Is the arrival of wealthy, irresistible Daryl van Horne (Jack Nicholson) a coincidence – or their unconscious sorcery at work? From John Updike's bestseller, The Witches of Eastwick is a star-bright otherworldly delight.

Comments about Yeats 65-Inch Aluminum Appliance Hand Truck:
This is great for getting the real heavies in and out of your truck or van. The handtruck is ruggedly built and even better with the 'Big Wheel' attachment. Not for superspecialized items, but works as a great generalist Hand Truck.
The TWO fixation straps are a real bonus, they just feel more sturdy and secure than a single strap.

Researchers: Antarctic ice shelves melting spiked in the last decade
Some researchers have undertaken a big effort to monitor the rate of Antarctic ice selves melting, and what they've found again shows that the ice is melting faster than ever before, particularly in the last decade when a spike in the rate was observed. Such information comes from a recent study detailing work done by a research team headed by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. According to the newly published study, the rate of ice shelf melting in some areas has increased by 18-percent over the past nearly 20 years, and there's no signs of that slowing down.

Classroom Policies
This classroom is used exclusively for instruction. These classrooms are not available for use outside the normal service hours of CMET.
First time users of this room are strongly encouraged to schedule a training session with CMET. There is a wide array of technology available in these classrooms, and you are encouraged to work with CMET to make the best use of the space.
No food is allowed in the classroom, but beverages in rigid, spill-proof travel mugs or pull-top bottles are acceptable.
Term-Length Scheduling
Requests for CRNs are filled after priority scheduling for CRN-based courses taught by members of the Working Group for Active Teaching and Learning.
Priority will be given to courses using active/collaborative/cooperative learning techniques in conjunction with the use of media and computing technology. Departmental coordinators wishing to reserve this classroom for courses must place a request using the 25live.uoregon.edu online calendar. Please use the pull down menu labeled "Currently Viewing Multiple" to select the room you would like to reserve. Departments are encouraged to be somewhat flexible and willing to accept alternate time slots, since frequent conflicts are the norm.
Ad Hoc Requests
Requests to use these classrooms for course instruction on an ad hoc basis (maximum one (1) request per class section per week) are considered starting four weeks prior to the first day of the academic term. Please use the online calendar to place your requests. Use the pull down menu labeled "Currently Viewing Multiple to select the room you would like to reserve. Preference is given to classes using the flexible, collaborative environment afforded by these facilities.
A Note about Laptop Use in This Classroom
Laptops are run from battery power when in use, and must be recharged after each class session. To accommodate this, we will not schedule groups using the laptops back to back. Instructors are encouraged to practice power management by having students close the laptop lids when not in use; this puts the laptops into sleep mode, and prolongs the life of the battery. Laptops can be awakened by hitting the power button once.
The Libraries install a standard suite of software on these laptops, intended to serve the needs of most groups using the classrooms, prior to the start of each academic term. Requests to install software not on this list must be received at least four (4) weeks prior to the start of the academic term, and the installation files, with verification of licensing, must be delivered to Library Systems, Knight Library, no later than two (2) weeks prior to the start of the term (i.e., before the first day of finals week of the current term).
The Libraries do not have a budget for purchasing software; obtaining software licenses for these classrooms for any software not on the standard list, unless it is freeware, is the responsibility of the requesting department.
