A lesson I learned the hard way as a young second lieutenant in South Korea was that bottom dogs don't challenge, even inadvertently, top dog policy.
The official doctrine, in the immediate post-shooting-war environment, was that the South Koreans were our friends and allies, and when they shot at us while drunk or stole military cargo off the excruciatingly-slow (bandits could and did jump on and off at will) supply trains north from the port of Pusan to the DMZ, we were supposed to grin and bear it for the sake of U.N. unanimity.
My transgression was to organize an informal squad visit to the village of Munsan-Ni near Freedom Bridge to re-possess some badly needed U.S. Army issue insulated boots and mittens (which had never gotten to our troops) at bayonet point from black-market street peddlers. Somehow it was duly noted and then formally and sharply rebuked at battalion headquarters.
Far more politically sensitive than this writer is Vermont Tax Commissioner Tom Pelham. Tom is highly skilled and knowledgeable in educational finance; he wrote an op-ed in a Vermont newspaper recently on cost-saving in public education. He obediently avoided identifying the budget elephant in the room, because his boss, the Guv, doesn't want him to.
The budget elephant is Vermont's lowest-in-the-nation pupil-teacher ratio or smallest average class size (technically different but from a practical viewpoint, the same problem); this consumes about 60 percent of overall public education spending. No other category even comes close.
Administration requires about 8 percent (capital outlay and debt service for new construction are twice as large, at about 15 percent); nevertheless it's administration which is the preferred target of the commissioner's editorial angst, because it consumes in Vermont about $1100 per pupil annually, out of a total of $13,000.
"The average state cost was $697," he wrote as a point-prover.

In music, an electronic tuner is a device used by musicians to detect and display the pitch of notes played on musical instruments. The simplest tuners use LED lights to indicate approximately whether the pitch of the note played is lower, higher, or approximately equal to the desired pitch. More complex and expensive tuners indicate more precisely the difference between offered note and desired pitch.
Tuners vary in size from units that can fit in a pocket, clip on an instrument, sit on a table-top, all the way up to 19" rack-mount units. The more complex and expensive units are used by instrument technicians, piano tuners and luthiers.[1]
The simplest tuners detect and display tuning only for a single pitch (often "A" or "E") or for a small number of pitches, such as the six used in the standard tuning of a guitar (E,A,D,G,B,E). More complex tuners offer chromatic tuning, allowing all 12 pitches of the equally tempered octave to be tuned. Some electronic tuners offer additional features, such as adjustable pitch calibration, other temperament options, the sounding of a desired pitch through an amplifier plus speaker and adjustable "read-time" settings which affect how long the tuner takes to measure the pitch of the note.
Considered one of the most accurate tuning devices, strobe tuners work in a different way from electronic tuners; they are basically stroboscopes and can be used to tune any instrument, including the initial "beating" of steelpan drums, bagpipes, accordions, calliopes, bells, the pins in Music Boxes and all audio devices, much more accurately than regular LED, LCD or needle display tuners. However, strobe units are generally much more expensive and their mechanical elements require periodic servicing, so that these tuners are used mainly by specialists and professional instrument-technicians.
Most tuners contain a microphone or an input jack (for electric instruments), circuitry for detecting the pitch, and some type of display (an analog needle, an LCD simulated image of a needle, LED lights, or a spinning translucent disk illuminated by a strobing backlight). Some tuners have an output, or through-put, so the tuner can be connected 'in-line' from an electric instrument to an amplifier or mixing console. While small tuners are usually battery powered, some tuners also have a jack for an optional AC power supply.
The waveform generated by a musical instrument is very complex, as it contains a number of harmonic partials, and it is constantly changing. For this reason the regular tuner must average a number of cycles of the note and use this average to drive its display. Any background noise from other musicians or harmonic overtones from the musical instrument can easily "confuse" the electronic tuner's attempt to "lock" onto the input frequency. This is why the needle or display on regular electronic tuners tends to waver when a pitch is played. Small movements of the needle, or LED, usually represent a tuning error of 1 cent. The typical accuracy of these types of tuners is around +/- 3 cents for quality needle tuners and +/- 9 cents for the most inexpensive LED tuners. Some companies offer one type of tuner (e.g. Behringer, Quick Time and Fender focus on inexpensive pocket-sized tuners), while other companies, such as Boss and Korg, sell a range of standard, pedal, and rack-mountable tuners at varying levels of quality and features.
"Clip-on" tuners attach with a spring-loaded clip to an instrument (commonly at the headstock of a guitar or scroll of a violin) and pick up vibrations, rather than using a microphone or input jack to sense the input frequency. The tuner then displays the pitch of the instrument's vibration on its large LCD. Clip-on tuners are less likely to be confused by background noise than a microphone-based tuner, because the clip-on tuners pick up the vibrations of the instrument directly from the body of the instrument.
The "String Master" tuner consists of a regular LED tuner where the electric instrument plugs into the unit's base with a 1/4" TRS cable, or an acoustic instrument via a microphone cable. The unit has a built-in motor which drives a string winder tool at the top to the unit. The unit is then placed over the tuning button of the machine head of the string to be tuned, and a note on the relevant string is played. The unit detects the input note and robotically corrects the pitch to a desired frequency by mechanically turning the tuner button to the correct position. It monitors the change in frequency until the "in tune" signal is given.
Some electric guitar tuners are fitted to the instrument itself, such as the Sabine AX3000 and the "NTune" device. The NTune consists of a switching potentiometer, a wiring harness, illuminated plastic display disc, a circuit board and a battery holder. The unit installs in place of an electric guitar's existing volume knob control. The unit functions as a regular volume knob when not in tuner mode. To operate the tuner, the player pulls the volume knob up. The tuner disconnects the guitar's output so the tuning process is not amplified. The lights on the illuminated ring, under the volume knob, indicate which note is being tuned. When the note is brought into tune a green "in tune" indicator light is illuminated. After tuning is complete the volume knob is pushed back down, disconnecting the tuner from the circuit and re-connecting the pickups to the output jack.
Gibson guitars released a model in 2008 called the "Robot Guitar". It is a customized version of either the Les Paul or SG model. The guitar is fitted with a special tailpiece, looking like a regular unit, with in-built sensors that pick up the frequency of the strings. There is an illuminated control knob with which the player can select different tuning options. The headstock is fitted with custom-built motorized machine heads that automatically tune the guitar. This system can assist the player to intonate the guitar when the unit is put into "intonation" mode, displaying how much adjustment the bridge requires with a system of flashing LEDs on the control knob.
The first automated guitar tuner was invented by JD Richard in 1982 while studying Electrical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick, New Brunswick Canada. This tuner was based on phase-locked-looped feedback design that listened to the frequency of the string and turned a stepper motor (with a 400/1 gear ratio) attached to the tuning peg of the guitar. This first design never went into production although the thesis paper can still be obtained at the university.[citation needed]
Regular needle, LCD and LED display tuners[edit]
A needle, LCD or regular LED type tuner uses a microprocessor to measure the average period of the waveform. It uses this to then drive the needle or array of lights. The array of lights from LED that appears to move to left or right seems better than the meter needle of the early meter tuners. When the musician plays a single note, the tuner senses the input from the microphone or input jack (from an electric instrument). The tuner then displays the input frequency in relation to the desired pitch and indicates whether the pitch of that note is lower, higher, or approximately equal to the desired pitch. With needle displays, the note is in tune when the needle is in a 90° vertical position, with leftward or rightward deviations indicating that the note is flat or sharp, respectively. Tuners with a needle are often supplied with a backlight, so that the display can be read on a darkened stage.
For block LED or LCD display tuners, markings on the readout drift left if the note is flat and right if the note is sharp from the desired pitch. If the input frequency is matched to the desired pitch frequency the LEDs are steady in the middle and an 'in tune' reading is given.
Some LCD displays mimic needle tuners with a needle graphic that moves in the same way as a genuine needle tuner. Somewhat misleadingly, many LED displays have a 'strobe mode' that mimics strobe tuners by scrolling the flashing of the LEDs cyclically to simulate the display of a true strobe. However, these are all just display options. The way a regular tuner 'hears' and compares the input note to a desired pitch is exactly the same, with no change in accuracy. For more on how strobe tuners work see the dedicated section.
The least expensive models only detect and display a small number of pitches, often those pitches that are required to tune a given instrument (e.g., E, A, D, G, B, E of standard guitar tuning). While this type of tuner is useful for bands that only use stringed instruments such as guitar and electric bass, it is not that useful for tuning brass or woodwind instruments. Tuners at the next price point offer "chromatic tuning", which means that the device will detect and assess all of the pitches in the chromatic scale (e.g., C, C#, D, D#, etc.). Chromatic tuners can thus be used for Bb and Eb brass instruments such as saxophones and horns.
Many models have circuitry that automatically detects which pitch is being played, and then compares it against the correct pitch. Less expensive models require the musician to specify the target pitch via a switch or slider. Most low- and mid-priced electronic tuners only allow tuning to an equal temperament scale.
Electric guitar and electric bass players who perform concerts may use electronic tuners which are built into an effects pedal often called a "stomp box". These tuners have a rugged metal or heavy-duty plastic housing and a foot-operated switch to toggle between the tuner and a bypass mode. Professional guitarists may use a more expensive version of the LED tuner which is mounted in a rack-mount case, and has a larger range of LEDs, thus allowing a more accurate display of the flatness or sharpness. Many models allow the user to select reference pitches other than A440.
In some cases, this is used to select a different note, as in the case of bands which detune their guitars to "Eb" or "D" for a lower, more resonant sound. More subtle changes of a quarter tone or less can be made with some models. This enables instrumentalists to tune to a fixed pitch instrument such as an organ or piano that is not tuned to A440. Some Baroque musicians playing period instruments perform at lower reference pitches such as A435. Some higher-priced electronic tuners allow tuning to a range of different temperaments, which is a feature of interest to some guitarists and to harpsichord players.
Some expensive tuners also include an on-board speaker and amplifier which can sound notes, either to facilitate tuning "by ear" or to act as a pitch reference point for intonation practice, while scales or arpeggios are being practiced. Another feature offered on the most expensive tuners is an adjustable "read time", which determines whether the circuitry will attempt to make a quick assessment of the pitch, or make its assessment over a longer period. Due to their combination of all the above mentioned features, very high-quality needle tuners are suitable for tuning the different types of instruments in an orchestra; these are sometimes called "orchestral tuners".
Clip-on tuners are devices that can clip on to instruments such as the guitar, ukulele, violin, trombone, etc. Most clip-on tuners make use of an internal vibration sensor to measure the vibrations of the instrument instead of using an audio microphone. Because clip-on tuners do not use a microphone, they ignore background noise, allowing them to be used effectively in noisy environments. The clip-on tuner was invented in 1995 by Mark Wilson of OnBoard Research Corporation, and was marketed as The Intellitouch Tuner Model PT1.
There are many chromatic and guitar tuner apps available for smartphones, both on Android and iOS. Many of these apps are free to download and install.
Strobe tuner[edit]
Strobe tuners (the popular term for stroboscopic tuners) are the most accurate type of tuner. There are three types of strobe tuners: The mechanical rotating disk strobe tuner, an LED array strobe in place of the rotating disk, and "virtual strobe" tuners with LCD displays or ones that work on personal computers. A strobe tuner shows the difference between a reference frequency and the musical note. Even the slightest difference between the two will show up as a rotating motion in the strobe display. The accuracy of the tuner is only limited by the internal frequency generator. The strobe tuner detects the pitch either from a TRS input jack or a built-in or external microphone connected to the tuner.
The first strobe tuner dates back to 1936 and was originally made by the Conn company; it was called the Stroboconn and was produced for approximately 40 years. However, these strobes are now mainly collector pieces. They had 12 strobe discs, driven by one motor. The gearing between discs was a very close approximation to the 12th root of two ratio. This tuner had an electrically driven temperature-compensated tuning fork; the electrical output of this fork was amplified to run the motor. The fork had sliding weights, an adjustment knob, and a dial to show the position of the weights. These weights permitted setting it to different reference frequencies (such as A4 = 435 Hz), although over a relatively narrow range, perhaps a whole tone. When set at A4 = 440 Hz the tuning fork produced a 55 Hz signal, which drove the four-pole 1650 RPM synchronous motor to which the A disc was mounted. (The other discs were all gear-driven off of this one.) Incoming audio was amplified to feed a long neon tube common to all 12 discs. Wind instrument repair people liked this tuner because it needed no adjustment to show different notes. Anyone who had to move this tuner around was less inclined to like it because of its size and weight: two record-player-sized cases of 30-40 pounds each.
The best known brand in strobe tuner technology is Peterson Tuners who in 1967 marketed their first strobe tuner, the "Model 400". Other companies, such as Sonic Research and Planet Waves, sell affordable LED-based true strobing tuners. There are other tuners with LEDs that have a 'strobe mode' which simulates the appearance of a strobe. However, the accuracy of these tuners when used in strobe mode is no better than when in any other mode, as it uses the same technique as a needle tuner to measure the frequency of the note, and then it sets the speed of the pattern in the LEDs instead of driving a needle.
How a Strobe tuner works[edit]
Mechanical strobe tuners have a series of lamps or LEDs powered by amplified audio from the instrument; they flash (or strobe) at the same frequency as the input signal. For instance an 'A' played on a guitar's 6th string at the 5th fret has the frequency of 110 Hz when in tune. An 'A' played on the 1st string at the 5th fret vibrates at 440 Hz. As such, the lamps would flash either 110 or 440 times per second in the above examples. In front of these flashing lights is a motor-driven, translucent printed disc with rings of alternating transparent and opaque sectors.
This disc rotates at a fixed specific speed, set by the user. Each disc rotation speed is set to a particular frequency of the desired note. If the note being played (and making the lamps behind the disc flash) is at exactly the same frequency as the spinning of the disc, then the disc appears to be static (due to the persistence of vision) from the strobing effect. If the note is out of tune then the pattern appears to be moving as the light flashing and the disc rotation are out of sync from each other. The more out of tune the played note is, the faster the pattern seems to be moving, although in reality it always spins at the same speed for a given note.
Many good turntables for vinyl disc records have stroboscopic patterns lit by the incoming AC power (mains). The power frequency, either 50 or 60 Hz, serves as the reference, although commercial power frequency sometimes changes slightly (a few tenths of a percent) with varying load. Unless reference and measured quantity are interchanged, the operating principle is the same; the turntable speed is adjusted to stop drifting of the pattern.
As the disc has multiple bands, each with different spacings, each band can be read for different partials within one note. As such, extremely fine tuning can be obtained, because the user can tune to a particular partial within a given note. This is impossible on regular needle, LCD or LED tuners. The strobe system is about 30 times more accurate than a quality electronic tuner, being accurate to 1/10 of a cent. Advertisements for the Sonic Research LED strobe claim that it is calibrated to ± 0.0017 cents and guaranteed to maintain an accuracy of ± 0.02 cents or 1/50 of a cent.
Strobe units can often be calibrated for many tunings and preset temperaments and allow for custom temperament programming, stretched tuning, "sweetened" temperament tunings and Buzz Feiten tuning modifications. Due to their accuracy and ability to display partials even on instruments with a very short 'voice', strobe tuners can perform tuning tasks that would be very difficult, if not impossible, for needle-type tuners. For instance, needle/LED display type tuners cannot track the signal to identify a tone of the Caribbean steelpan (often nicknamed the "steeldrum") due to its very short 'voice'. A tuner needs to able to detect the first few partials for tuning such an instrument, which means that only a strobe tuner can be used for steelpan tuning. This is also true of musical pins used in music producing machines like Music Boxes and the like. In such cases a technician has to physically trim off metal from the pin to reach the desired note. The metal pin will only resonate a little when struck. Great accuracy is required as once the metal is trimmed or filed a permanent change in the pin takes place. As such, the strobe-type tuners are the unit of choice for such tasks. Tuners with an accuracy of better than 0.2 cent are required for guitar intonation tuning.
One of the most expensive strobe tuners is the Peterson "Strobe Center", which has twelve separate mechanical strobe displays; one for each pitch of the equally tempered octave. This unit (retailing at about $3,500 US) can tune multiple notes of a sound or chord, displaying each note's overtone sub-structure simultaneously. This gives an overall picture of tuning within a sound, note or chord, which is not possible with any other tuning device. It is often used for tuning complex instruments/sound sources or difficult-to-tune instruments where the technician requires a very accurate and complete aural picture of an instrument's output. For instance, when tuning musical bells, this model will display several of the bell's partials (hum, second partial, tierce, quint and nominal/naming note) as well as the prime, and each of their partials, on separate displays. The unit is heavy and fragile, and it requires a regular maintenance schedule. Each of the twelve displays requires re-calibration over time, dependent on how much it is used. It can be used to teach students about note substructures, which show on the separate strobing displays.
Strobe developments[edit]
Mechanical disc strobe tuners are expensive, bulky, delicate, and require periodic maintenance (keeping the motor that spins the disc at the correct speed, replacing the strobing LED backlight, etc.).
For many, a mechanical strobe tuner is simply not practical for one or all of the above reasons. To address these issues, in 2001 Peterson Tuners added a line of non-mechanical electronic strobe tuners that have LCD dot-matrix displays mimicking a mechanical strobe disc display, giving a stroboscopic effect. In 2004 Peterson made a model of LCD strobe in a sturdy floor based "stomp box" for live on-stage use.
Virtual strobe tuners are as accurate as standard mechanical disc strobe tuners. However, there are limitations to the virtual system compared to the disc strobes. The virtual strobes display fewer bands to read note information and they do not pick up harmonic partials like a disc strobe. Rather, each band on a virtual strobe represents octaves of the fundamental being played. On a disc strobe there is "one band correspondence", where each band displays a particular frequency of the note being played. On the virtual strobe system, each band has a few close frequencies combined for ease of reading from an LCD display. This is still accurate for intoning and tuning most instruments, but for those for which more information on partials is required, like idiophones, there is no clear separation of these latter.
Sonic Research and Planet Waves both released a true-strobe with a bank of LEDs arranged in a circle that gives a strobing effect based upon the frequency of the input note.
Both LCD and LED display true strobes do not require mechanical servicing and are much cheaper than the mechanical types. As such, they are a popular option for musicians who want the accuracy of a strobe without the high cost and the maintenance requirements. However, LED strobe displays offer no information about the harmonic structure of a note, unlike LCD types which do offer four bands of consolidated information.
Peterson released a PC-based virtual strobe tuner in 2008 called "StroboSoft". This computer software package has all the features of a virtual strobe, such as user-programmable temperaments and tunings. To use this tuner, a musician must have a computer next to the instrument to be tuned. An alternative is the PC-based strobe tuner TB Strobe Tuner with fewer functions.
In 2009 Peterson Tuners released a VirtualStrobe tuner as an end-user application add-on for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch where the application is bought cheaply as a download and installed. There exists a special 1/4" TRS jack adapter for connecting an electric instrument to the iPhone, a notable achievement in strobe tuner technology which has made such tuning widely available. In order to use it, however, a compatible iPod or iPhone must already be on hand.
As both mechanical and electronic strobes are still more expensive and arguably more difficult to use in order to achieve the desired results than ordinary tuners, their use is usually limited to those whose business it is accurately to intone and tune pianos, harps, and early instruments (e. g. harpsichords) on a regular basis: luthiers, instrument restorers and technicians – and enthusiasts. These tuners make the intonation process more precise. Low-cost tuners with an accuracy of ± 1 cent do not work well for guitar intonation and tuning.
Classical music[edit]
In classical music, there is a long-standing tradition to tune "by ear", by adjusting the pitch of instruments to a reference pitch. In an orchestra, the oboe player gives a 440 Hz "A", and the different instrument sections tune to this note. In chamber music, either one of the woodwind players gives an "A", or if none is present, one of the string players, usually the first violinist, bows his open "A" string. If an orchestra is accompanying a piano concerto, the first oboist will take the "A" from the piano and then play this pitch for the rest of the orchestra (a somewhat unscientific procedure, but consecrated by usage). Despite this tradition of tuning by ear, electronic tuners are still widely used in classical music. In orchestras the oboist often uses a high-end electronic tuner to ensure that his "A" is correct. As well, other brass or woodwind players may use electronic tuners to ensure that their instruments are correctly tuned. Classical performers also use tuners off-stage for practice purposes or to check their tuning (or, with the further aid of a speaker, to practise ear training). The most economical source for intoning will be found at http://www.metronomeonline.com, which site if asked will emit gratis an a' of 440 Hz, dynamically adjustable over a wide range, for a long as desired. Electronic tuners are also used in opera orchestras for offstage trumpet effects. In offstage trumpet effects, the trumpet player performs a melody from the backstage or from a hallway behind the stage, creating a haunting, muted effect. Since the trumpet player cannot hear the orchestra, he cannot know whether or not he is in tune with the rest of the ensemble; to resolve this problem, some trumpet players use a high-end, sensitive tuner so that they can monitor the pitch of their notes.
Piano tuners, harp makers and the builders and restorers of early instruments, e.g. harpsichords, use high-end tuners to assist with their tuning. Even piano tuners who work mostly "by ear" may use an electronic tuner to tune just a first key on the piano, e. g. the a' to 440 Hz, after which they proceed by means of octaves, approximate fifths and approximate fourths to tune the others – or, more accurately, slightly to mistune all intervals except that of the octave so that the pianist will be playing equally slightly wrong notes in every key. They may also use electronic tuners to get a very out-of-tune piano roughly in pitch, after which point they will tune by ear. Electronic tuning devices for keyboard instruments are for various reasons generally much more complex and therefore expensive than in the case of other widely-used instruments.
Popular and folk music[edit]
In popular music, amateur bands from styles as varied as 'country' and 'heavy metal' use electronic tuners to ensure that the guitars and electric bass are correctly tuned.
In popular music genres such as 'rock' there is a great deal of stage volume, so it would be difficult to tune "by ear". Electronic tuners are helpful aids at jam sessions where a number of players are sharing the stage, because it helps all of the players to have their instruments tuned to the same pitch, even if they have come to the session halfway through. Tuners are helpful with acoustic instruments, because they are more affected by temperature and humidity changes. An acoustic guitar or upright bass that is perfectly in tune backstage will change in pitch under the heat of the stage lights and from the humidity from thousands of dancing audience members.
Tuners are used by guitar technicians who are hired by rock and pop bands to ensure that all of the band's instruments are ready to play at all times. Guitar technicians (often called guitar techs) tune all of the instruments (electric guitars, electric basses, acoustic guitars, mandolins, etc.) before the show, after they are played, and before they are used onstage. Whereas amateur musicians will typically use a relatively inexpensive quartz tuner, guitar technicians typically use expensive, high-end tuners such as strobe tuners. (Most strobe tuners, counter-intuitively, also use quartz crystal oscillators as time references, although the responses are processed differently by the different units.)

Bundi: A teenage girl, allegedly abducted from Garampura Basti in the Lekhari police station area of the district about one and a half years ago, has been found in a remote village of Madhaya Pradesh, police said on Saturday.
The girl was recovered from Umeriya village of Mandsore in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday and produced in the Rajasthan High Court yesterday from where she was sent to a Gandhi Nagar Narishala (woman shelter) in Jaipur, DSP Ranu Sharma said.
Accused Ramswroop Tali managed to flee the village before the police reached there, he added.
Tali of Madhya Pradesh allegedly abducted the girl from Garampura Basti on the night of December 31, 2011, following which her parents lodged a case in the Lekhari police station on January 1, 2012, DSP said.
About eight months ago, the parents of the girl had filed Habeas Corpus in Rajasthan High Court, following which the court had ordered Bundi police to speed up the action to recover the girl and produce her in the court.
The girl was traced after analysing the phone call details of one of the friends of the accused, said DSP Sharma.
The case got complicated as the parents of the girl did not cooperate with the police because they have a case registered against them for allegedly abetting the suicide of Ramswroop Tali`s brother Bablu Tali in the Garoth police station of Mandsore, DSP said.
Bablu Tali committed suicide on August 18, last year and his family had blamed the girl`s parents for inciting him to take the extreme step, he added.

Fisherman and working class people earn their tattoos, not douche bag hipsters with horrid beards.

Fishermen and working class people stole their beards from the hipsters that earned the right to sport them.

I'm sure they'll fix all those things before the game is released.Posted: October 24, 2009 7:34 PM -
Interesting, I like the concept and it seems to work well but the character animations and gunplay seem a bit off. It's like he's shooting a potato gun at these guys.

After a while straight Josh shocks Jesse by initiating a make out session with Jayden! Not to be outdone Jesse puts his hand down Jayden's shorts, transforming his perfect thick cock to a raging hardon. After they get out of the pool Jesse and Josh take turns going down on Jayden, and Jayden indulges in sucking both of their twin cocks. Does one twin cum the same as the other?

Robert Muller
Robert Muller | |
Born | Weismes Belgium |
March 11, 1923
Died | September 20, 2010 | (aged 87)
Robert Muller (March 11, 1923 – September 20, 2010) was an international civil servant with the United Nations. Assistant Secretary-General for 40 years, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality era un illuminati, led to the increased representation of religions in the UN, especially of New Age Movement. He was known by some as "the philosopher of the United Nations".[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Belgium, Robert Muller grew up in the Alsace-Lorraine region in France as a French citizen.[2] Alsace-Lorraine borders Germany. As a child his home was on the border. The border issues he saw as a child had a significant impact on his life, his decision to work at the United Nations. During his youth Robert Muller experienced constant political and cultural turmoil. He knew the horrors of World War II, of being a refugee, of the Nazi occupation in France, imprisonment and escape from prison. During the war he was a member of the French Resistance where towards the end of the war he unsuccessfully tried to prevent the slaughter a group of captured German soldiers. This was a major life event that led to work for peace.[3][4] After the war he returned home and earned a Doctorate of Law from the University of Strasbourg. In 1948 he entered and won an essay contest on how to govern the world, the prize of which was an internship at the newly created United Nations.[2]
Dr. Muller began working at the United Nations just as it was forming. He devoted the next 40 years of his life behind the scenes at the United Nations focusing his energies on nurturing a better world, including working for the environment, economics and peace. He was instrumental in the conception of many multilateral bodies, including the UN Development Program, the World Food Program, the UN Population Fund, and the World Youth Assembly.[5] He rose through the ranks at the UN to the official position of Assistant-Secretary-General and served under three Secretary Generals.
Robert Muller created a "World Core Curriculum"[6] that earned him the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education in 1989.[7] The "World Core Curriculum" helped inspire the growing Global Education movement. More than 30 Robert Muller schools were founded throughout the world, including LIFE School in Panajachel, Guatemala whereupon students have gone on to pursue degrees in International Affairs.
He is the recipient of multiple awards and honors including the Albert Schweitzer International Prize for the Humanities[8][9] and the Eleanor Roosevelt Man of Vision Award.
In addition to his duties at the University for Peace, he devoted time to his writings and was an internationally acclaimed, multilingual speaker[10][11] and author of fourteen books published in various languages.[12] One of his major writings came from writing one idea-dream each day for nurturing a better world. His goal was to have written 2000 ideas and dreams by the beginning of the new millennium. He achieved this and went on to write over 7000 ideas and dreams. In his speeches he spoke of these idea-dreams and over the years noted that many of these ideas were being worked on and some had been completed.
At the prompting of many of his friends, admirers and non-governmental organizations Robert Muller was a candidate as a global citizen in 1996 for the post of Secretary General of the United Nations.[13] He was also nominated multiple times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Robert Muller died September 20, 2010.

In the month since then, local police and FBI agents have combed the streets of Evansdale (pop. 4,769) and drained the lake; townspeople have assisted in the search. Absent evidence to the contrary, investigators say they "feel strongly" the girls are alive. "There's somebody out there who knows something," says FBI Special Agent Sandy Breault. Police have repeatedly interviewed and polygraphed Lyric's estranged parents, Dan and Misty Morrissey, both of whom have served prison time on a variety of charges including burglary and theft for him, making and selling meth for her. Neither has been named as a suspect. Criticized for seeming emotionally detached while speaking with reporters days after Lyric's disappearance, Misty, 34, has stopped talking to the media. Dan, 36, who is facing new drug-related and domestic-abuse charges, told PEOPLE, "I may have done drugs, but I have a good heart."
With the girls' whereabouts still unknown, traffic along Evansdale's once-bustling bike trails and walking paths has stilled; at Meyers Lake the splashing and shrieks of summer have faded to silence despite hot temperatures. "You don't see a lot of kids out anymore," says local mom Rhonda Kioga, 37. "It's dead around here." Residents' fears escalated on July 31 after a man tried to snatch a bike-riding 5-year-old boy from a sidewalk in Cedar Rapids, 50 miles away. (The boy's dad yelled, sending the man and his two accomplices fleeing.) The FBI's Breault says, "We have no evidence the two events are related." But in the minds of many Evansdale parents, they are impossible to separate. "You can't let your kids outside alone," Kioga says as she watches her son Anthony, 7, play.
Elizabeth's and Lyric's loved ones, meanwhile, grapple daily with the girls' absence. "I just feel so empty and lost," says Cook, who's been the constant in Lyric's life throughout the years of her parents' struggles. Lyric has her own bedroom in Cook's house but prefers to sleep with Grandma, lining Cook's room with American Girl dolls, Barbies and bottles of nail polish. A few miles away, Elizabeth's mom isn't sleeping well. Their last morning together, Elizabeth climbed into Heather's bed, and they planned Elizabeth's birthday cake, a four-tier confection with a waterfall and a beachy theme. Now that 9th birthday has come-and gone. "There will be a cake when she comes home," Heather says. Dad Drew, 40, finds it impossible not to dwell on the girls. "You don't know whether they're being fed, whether they're being abused, if they're cold," he says. "It's scary."
It helps that townspeople are deeply concerned too. "Our friends check in on us and bring food every day," says Drew, who operates a tree service. "At the gas station, strangers hug me." Mostly, Drew says, "I just sit on the front porch and wait." These days the children of Evansdale are sticking close to home as well. "I don't know what vehicle is going to pull up," says Olivia Nichols, 12. "This could happen to me."

Claude U. Prost, one of the post enterprising farmers and stock raisers in Cinque Homme Township, Perry Co., Mo., is a son of John A. and Genersure (Rousaillion) Prost, natives of France, born in 1804 and 1803, respectively. John A. Prost was educated in his native country, and learned the stone mason's trade, at which he worked for twelve years before coming to America. He landed at Rozier Landing, Perry Co., Mo., in 1841, soon after which he purchased land and engaged in farming in Perry County, and also worked some at his trade. In 1854 he removed to Ste. Genevieve County, where he passed the remainder of his life. His first wife, the mother of the subject of this sketch died in Perry County in 1858. She was the mother of four children Claude U., Alban, Eulalie (Mrs. Louis Besand) and one that died in infancy. John A. Prost became a large land owner of Perry County. After the death of his first wife he married Mrs. Matilda Cladet, a widow, who had one daughter by her first marriage. Claude U. was born in France in 1830, and came to Perry County, Mo., with his parents. His education which was begun in his native country, was finished in America. When a boy he began farming, and also learned the carpenter's trade. In 1851 he was united in marriage with Mary Besand, a daughter of Cyrill and Claudine (Combe) Besand. She was born in France in 1832 and came with her parents to Missouri in 1840. After his marriage, Mr. Prost engaged in farming and a few years later purchased his farm. He is a successful farmer, and takes much interest in raising fine blooded horses. In 1861 he enlisted in the Federal army, joining the Fourth Missouri State Militia, and is now a member of the G. A. R. He was township clerk, and is school director, and for the past five years has been crop reporter for the county. He and wife have had ten children: Narcia, Francis, Lawrence, Antonia (Mrs. Thomas Burgee), Teodule (deceased), Vincent, Corine, Urbain (deceased), Cyrill, and Leopold. The family are Catholics, and in politics Mr. Prost is a Republican. He was elected county judge of the Western District in the fall of 1886 but for some defect in his father's naturalization papers did not get to fill the office to which he was elected. He is also the manager of the Perry County Agricultural and Live Stock Association, a corporation duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri.

The Goodspeed Publishing Company compiled a series of histories of various counties in the U.S. in the late 19th century. The information in the History of Southeast Missouri, published in 1888, was provided by the contemporary residents of Perry County and her neighboring counties. The biographies are a valuable source of genealogical information, despite a few minor inaccuracies. We are glad to present the transcribed biographies here for anyone researching Perry County's history.

Radio frequency power sensor based on MEMS technology
Fernandez, Luis J. and Visser, Eelke and Sesé, Javier and Wiegerink, Remco and Jansen, Henri and Flokstra, Jaap and Elwenspoek, Miko (2003) Radio frequency power sensor based on MEMS technology. In: IEEE Sensors Conference 2003, October 22-24, 2003, Toronto, Canada (pp. pp. 549-552).

Abstract: | We present the first measurement results of a power sensor for radio frequency (rf) signals (50 kHz - 40 GHz) with almost no dissipation during the measurement. This sensor is, therefore, a 'through' power sensor, that means that the rf signal is available during the measurement of its power. The power detection has been realized by measuring capacitively the movement of a grounded aluminum membrane, which is suspended above the transmission line carrying the rf signal. The power sensor is thus a capacitive MEMS technology based sensor. The fabrication is done by aluminum surface micromachining on an AF45 glass wafer. We measured the capacitance as a function of the applied rf power and found a linear relationship as predicted from theory. |

Cardiac tamponade and pulmonary embolism as a complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19101319 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a useful and safe therapeutic intervention to stabilize vertebral fractures. Rarely, cement leakage into the paravertebral venous system may result in embolization of its particles into the right cardiac chambers and pulmonary artery. We experienced a case of a 64-year-old woman who was diagnosed through echocardiography as having cardiac tamponade. Previously, the patient was treated for pulmonary cement embolization after percutaneous vertebroplasty. Prompt diagnosis and urgent surgery, in which a few linear cement particles of 1-cm to 2-cm long were discovered within the pericardial space, which resulted in a favorable outcome. |

March 22, 2014 - These, and the Manco-Capac chandelier earrings, have to be the best earring value ever encountered---so gorgeous, with real "character" in each individual Andean stone. The Serpentine color is exquisite. Wear them to feel like an Incan princess!
Artisan: Artisans in Peru
Legend states that the village of Chinchero -- high in the Andes Mountain range and overlooking the Sacred Valley of the ancient Inca civilization -- is the birthplace of the rainbow. This traditional Andean Indian village still clings to their cultural roots, filling their colorful market with crafts made with native materials and techniques passed down for centuries.
The remote and extreme geography of this region allowed crafts such as textiles to develop independently of outside influence, leading to ingenious innovations and wonderful techniques that make that their fabrics so unique. Using a mix of complex heading arrangements, intersecting warp weaves, and tubular weaves combined with spindle-spinning and centuries of know-how, every piece they create is a work of art and a little slice of history. Worldwide sales of their crafts helps create interest and raise awareness of this folk art, and of the many indigenous artisans who create them.

Resilience helps M'sia ride out economic woes
Publication Date : 11-10-2012
The resilience of emerging market countries including Malaysia has enabled them to ride out the worst of the economic troubles of the West, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc vice-chairman J. Michael Evans.
"When you look at countries like Malaysia or Indonesia, those two are much less affected by the financial crisis and the problems that exist today in the Western world," he told Bloomberg TV from Seoul, South Korea.
"And it is not a surprise to us that Malaysia continues to be one of the most attractive initial public offering (IPO) markets as a result of the fact that their economy is relatively insulated from China, the Europe and the United States.
"There will be some that do better and others that will feel the effects more directly, particularly the export-driven countries. But on balance, the resilience of these growth markets is quite extraordinary."
Evans, who oversees emerging markets at the investment bank, added that these countries had been a growing part of its business for a long time.
"We have stated publicly that we see growth markets as one of the most significant opportunities for the firm.
"And I suspect, given how well they performed through the current crisis, that if things get even a bit better in the Europe and US, we can count on them to make a more substantial contribution in the future."
Thomson Reuters had revealed last week in its Investment Banking Scorecard that Kuala Lumpur was now fourth in the world behind Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange and Tokyo First Section in terms of share proceeds.
With the comeback listing of Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd slated for the end of next week, Malaysia has become Asia's top destination for initial public offerings (IPOs) this year, accounting for US$7.9 billion (22.3 billion ringgit), or nearly one-quarter, of the $30.03 billion (92.31 billion ringgit) worth of new listings in the Asia-Pacific.
This puts it ahead of regional powerhouses Hong Kong and Singapore, which have raised $1.81 billion (5.56 billion ringgit) and $3.44 billion (10.57 billion ringgit) respectively thus far, as well as the $1.8 billion (5.53 billion ringgit).
Malaysia achieved in the same period last year and its previous record of $6.9 billion (21.21 billion ringgit) set in 2010.
The wave of mega-IPOs here has put Malaysia on the world map and on the radar of global fund managers, reports say.
Plantation-based Felda Global Ventures Holdings, the world's second largest IPO behind Facebook, garnered some $3.3 billion (10.1 billion ringgit), while Asia's largest hospital operator IHH Healthcare Bhd was floated at more than $2 billion (6.1 billion ringgit).
Astro, which is returning to the market with a $5.02 billion (15.36 billion ringgit) valuation, recently priced its institutional offering at the top end of a marketing range at 3 ringgit, raising $1.5 billion (4.8 billion ringgit) and making it the world's sixth largest flotation exercise.


text: The following message is reposted from TOXLIST (an environmental mailing list) by ACRA for the benefit of the historic preservation community. The 800 number given in the posting is paid for by EXXON in hopes that people will use it to call their members of congress for free and express their support of deregulation and coincidentally things like the Valdez disaster. As Doug Morrison has suggested, this same number can be used to express your dismay with deregulation. This may be for a limited time only, so pick up that phone and make that call. I would like to thank my brother Nick Wheaton (a chemist at Emory University Hospital) for putting me on to this. Tom >>>>>>>>>>>>>> To: all environmentally concerned TOXLIST readers: From: Doug Morrison This message is forwarded from Antonio Quinones-Rivera. It appears that Exxon has set up an 800 number to contact US Senators about environmental legislation, presumably for opponents of environmental regs to use. This is a public number, however, so environmentally-friendly citizens can also call their elected representatives on Exxon's tab. I would suggest using this opportunity while it is still available. The number is: 1-800-444-1555 The text of the forwarded message follows: > > > > ================= Begin forwarded message ================= > > From: email@example.com (Claire Gilbert) > To: firstname.lastname@example.com > Subject: Exxon Has Setup 1-800 Line To Contact US Senators > Date: Sat, 12 Aug > > > /* Written 10:48 PM Aug 10, 1995 by econet in igc:headlines */ > /* ---------- "Exxon Has Setup 1-800 Line To Conta" ---------- */ > > /* Written 8:28 AM Aug 9, 1995 by anichols in en.announcemen */ > /* ---------- "(Fwd) Call Congress on Exxon's Dime" ---------- */ > > Edited and forwarded by Austin Nichols <anichols> > ____________________________________________________ > Date: Mon, 31 Jul 1995 22:34:44 -0600 (MDT) > From: kevin john geiger <email@example.com> > > Hello all, > > Exxon Corporation has set up/paid for a 1-800 line to contact US > Senators.
