Nicholas Lee "The momentum from the course took me straight into the industry and I am now employed as a Locations Manager for a production company (just finished the third film) and have started making and editing music videos in what spare time i have now. I just wanted to thank the school for everything – it was truly worthwhile and I certainly wouldn't be in this position if I hadn't of taken the course!" Nick Strachan

Who to Watch in Congress This Week on Syria
- By J. Dana StusterJ. Dana Stuster is an assistant editor at Foreign Policy. He has studied at the American University of Beirut and graduated in 2010 with degrees in English and International Relations from the University of California, Davis. Before coming to FP, his work appeared in the Atlantic and the National Interest, among other publications.
As of Monday morning, the majority of U.S. legislators still have yet to announce their position on whether they'll vote to authorize the use of military force against Syria. They're running out of time to come to a decision, though; the resolution passed out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday and a vote by the full Senate is expected this week, with the House likely to follow soon after.
Some members of Congress may just be keeping their opinions to themselves. Congressional offices have reported a sharp uptick in phone calls from constituents, almost all of them critical of a strike against Syria. The incentive to voice opposition to the resolution is stronger at this point — both because it resonates with popular opinion and because it serves as a counterpoint to the Obama administration's campaign for strikes, which has included congressional hearings featuring Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey; public speeches (U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power spoke last week, National Security Advisor Susan Rice and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will speak today, and President Obama will deliver a speech tomorrow); private meetings; and appearances on the Sunday talk shows.
As both sides vie to sway the undecideds, here are the key congressional players to watch this week:
Reps. John Boehner (R-OH) and Eric Cantor (R-VA): The leaders of the Republican Party in the House both back the authorization for the use of military force. Neither seems committed to whipping the vote, arguing instead that the onus for making the case for intervention falls squarely on Obama, but others in the GOP may follow Boehner and Cantor's lead. On the Senate side, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been conspicuously quiet about how he'll vote this week, a move that has been attributed to the Senate minority leader not wanting to be a prominent supporter of an unpopular measure while facing a challenging primary campaign.
Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Gerald Connolly (D-VA): Van Hollen and Connolly have introduced an alternative resolution that tweaks the language of the proposed authorization of force to limit the potential scale of a U.S. intervention, stipulating that any intervention will not include ground forces and that airstrikes must end within 60 days.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): Pelosi has been a vocal proponent of Obama's proposal and has pushed back against alternatives like the one floated by Van Hollen and Connolly. "Run for president, or join the military," she told TIME, "but I don't know that we should be doing that in Congress, determining how many strikes it should take to take somebody out."
Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan: Duckworth, an Iraq veteran and double amputee, is staunchly opposed to an intervention in Syria. In a statement issued by her office, she writes, "Until I feel it's imperative to our national security, I will not support pre-emptive intervention in Syria. America shouldn't bear the burden unilaterally, especially since none of our allies, including those in the region, have committed to action." Of the 16 veterans of the U.S. wars of the past decade in Congress, only two have voiced their support for an intervention, while 10, including Duckworth, are openly opposed; four others — Reps. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Steve Stivers (R-OH), and Scott Perry (R-PA) — are undecided and could sway others with their inclinations.
Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY): A Marine veteran, Grimm initially supported Obama's plan to strike Syria, but has since reversed his stance. "Now that the Assad regime has seen our playbook and has been given enough time to prepare and safeguard potential targets, I do not feel that we have enough to gain as a nation by moving forward with this attack on our own," he explained. He has also cited the vocal opposition of his constituency.
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA): Markey, who filled John Kerry's seat when Kerry became secretary of state, voted "present" when the Syria resolution passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, siding neither with the 10 senators who passed it or the seven who voted against it. Markey has since said that he had not been able to adequately assess the available intelligence, but that he will have come to a decision by the time of the full Senate vote.
The Congressional Black Caucus: The 39 voting representatives of the Congressional Black Caucus have been instructed to "limit public comment until [they] receive additional details," a spokesman for caucus Chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) told Foreign Policy last week. Fudge reportedly remains undecided, but according to the Hill's whip count, at least three members of the caucus are leaning in favor of a strike and five are poised to vote against it. National Security Advisor Susan Rice will meet privately with members of the caucus on Monday to make the administration's case for intervening militarily in Syria.

BOISE-- Temperatures across southern Idaho are expected to break record highs Monday, leading to an extended heat advisory for much of the state through Wednesday morning.
KTVB Meteorologist LarryGebert says the high at the Boise Airport, where the official temperatures for Boise are recorded, will be 108 degrees. The record for July 1 is 104 degrees, last set in 1924.
Nearby Mountain Home, Idaho will likely hit 110 degrees or more.
Check out KTVB's 7-day forecast here.
Get weather updates anytime on your mobile device with KTVB's mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.
The heatwave should continue through Wednesday, with brutal temperatures of more than 100 degrees expected throughout the Treasure Valley, Magic Valley, and even into the lower mountain elevations.
However, what's expected to be a 6-day streak of 100-degree temperatures won't even touch the record for longest or hottest period of consecutive days in Boise.
Back on July 20, 1931 -- a 7-day streak of 100 plus degree temps hitIdaho's capital city, with the highest being 108 degrees. Another 7-day hot streak in July of 1960 saw a high of 111 on July 19th -- the all-time heat record for Boise.
Think that's hot? There's been two 9-day streaks of 100-plus degree temperatures in state history, too.
See the official NOAArecords here.
Those who work in the heat are advised to minimize strenuous labor, take frequent breaks, and drink more water than normally.
Children and pets should be monitored for signs of heat stress, excessive thirst, and changes in behavior.

Life for a child threatened by cancer is filled with pain, sacrifice, hospital visits and treatments. "Help a Child Smile" was born out of the need to bring some joy into the lives of these victims of childhood cancer.
An organization focused on children with cancer treated at the Children's Hospital at Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation by providing opportunities for them and their families to smile and have fun.
Farewell to 'The Cowboy'
It saddens us to announce the passing of HACS's longtime supporter and friend, Claude Poulin. He peacefully passed away on December 10, 2013 after a short battle with cancer.
Since HACS' inception in 1987, Claude has been a founding benefactor, was an original board member and instrumental in making the organization what it is today. He dedicated most of his efforts on the Labour Day Extravaganza held annually at Club Richelieu and the annual HACS golf tournament. He was the man behind the scenes and helped to make these events a success for over 28 years.
Claude was a compassionate, humble man that never asked to be recognized for his of his contributions. He generously gave his time, financial support and business resources, simply because he could and never with the expectation of receiving anything in return except maybe the smiles on the faces of the children he helped.
His generosity extended beyond HACS, he was also a long time supporter of his local Food Bank, Toys for Tots, World Vision and was always willing to extend a helping hand to someone.
Claude was a great husband to his wife Janice, beloved father to his daughters Jamie and Amanda, and a wonderful grandpa to Xavier and Elyza. All of his family remains involved with Help A Child Smile to this day.
He was a man that truly believed that "A man never stood so tall as when he stooped to Help A Child Smile."
He will be greatly missed by all his family, friends and the community.

Women in 19th-Century America
The 19th century in American history was marked by change, development and war. The 18th century had ended with the American Revolutionary War (1775 – 1783), also known as the American War of Independence. This war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and thirteen British colonies in North America resulted in the formation of the United States of America in July 1776. One of the most important events in 19th century America was the nationwide abolishment of slavery after the American Civil War (1861 – 1865). This war was fought between the so-called Confederate States of America, consisting of eleven states in the south that supported slavery, and the so-called Union, comprising twenty-five states, in most of which slavery had already been abolished.
Due to the diversity of ethnic, racial and social groups in 19th century America, it is impossible to give one definition of women's role in society at that time. In addition, the role of women saw some development during this period of 100 years.
Native Americans, or American Indians, lived in tribes during the 19th century, as they did before the arrival of the white Europeans to the New World. At that time almost all tribes practiced polygamy, meaning that a man could have several wives as long as he could support them. Indian women had a lot of responsibilities in the family, they did all the farming, took care of the children and the household. Men, in contrast, were mainly responsible for hunting. Women in Indian tribes could also hold respectful positions such as prophets, midwives, medicine women and even warriors.
During most of the 19th century African-American women were generally slaves with responsibilities mainly in the house. They took care of the housework and looked after their masters' children; some were even used to work in the fields. After finishing working for their white masters, female slaves went back home to do more housework there. However, most slaves did not have real families, as black families were often separated due to the slave trade. There were also some free African-American women, mainly in the northern US states, where slavery was prohibited. Some had fled from their masters in the south and others had been born to previously freed slaves.
White women in 19th century America were not a homogeneous group. There were lower-class women who were mainly daughters to poor farmers and had to work in order to help support their families. They often worked as maids or nannies in higher-class families, but also as nurses, midwives, dressmakers. At the same time they also had to take care of their own households and children.
At the beginning of the 19th century Francis Cabot Lowell (1775 – 1817) was the first businessman to offer women employment in the industry. In 1813 Lowell established a textile factory, in which he employed girls and women, paying them lower wages than men but at the same time offering them certain benefits, including religious and educational activities. The so-called Lowell mill girls were able to save up money to support their families and also to achieve certain economic independence that gave them the freedom to choose whom to marry.
Even upper-class white women had a lot of responsibilities in the home during the 19th century. Young unmarried girls who lived with their parents were used to being pampered and living in luxury. However, after they got married, girls in the south usually had to oversee the household work and the work in the plantations. In addition, women usually took care of a small garden and some domestic animals.
In general, women in 19th century America, including higher-class white women, had no or very limited political rights. This era was marked by women's struggle to win themselves the right to vote and run for office, which became more prominent after the Civil War. Women's suffrage in the Unites States was achieved gradually, culminating in 1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment to the constitution was ratified nationwide.
In addition to the lack of political rights, women in 19th century America had very limited education and career opportunities. At this time a woman's place was mostly in the home, her own or someone else's. Those women who worked outside the home and earned wages had to work long hours and still earned less money than men. There were generally very few professions that were considered suitable for women, such as teaching, writing and home nursing.

I'm a Programming Teacher. I've played games my whole life. I like supporting games that are multiplattform. I'm trying to become a Indie Game Developer. I love the old SNES RPG's and pixel art so my game is going to be a Secret of Mana 2 like game :)
Posted by Khazrak on May 18th, 2013
So I've spent alot of time trying to animate the real character and not borrow graphics from older games (just for testing).
I'm really proud of the result of the punch-left-animation. But I'm having problems with animating the down-direction and up-direction, left and right is easier.
I've started working on abstract stage events. I'll see how i can make it good for every stage.
And it lead me to making dialogs. So now I'm working on that.
The graphics for dialogs is easy but pausing everything else is harder. All this leads to some refactoring. Thats good, because its easier to refractor everything early. I won't start to make the real stages and events before I'm satisfied with the basic stuff, especially the combat, which will be the main thing about the game.
My problem is I'm not fully sure of how I want the combat to be...
I can code it if I knew how I would want it...
Some blend of Secret of Mana 2, devil may cry, etc...I think. Skills and stats should be important in combat.
This is a game for gamers, It should be fun.

DARKE COUNTY - While early voting ended last Saturday, the Darke County Board of Elections reported 711 absentee votes for the 2014 primary elections countywide.
"Back when it started in '74 [1974-75] you had to have a reason," said Beverly Marker, Darke County Elections Board member and former board director. "Now they're calling it 'early voting' because it's earlier than it used to be."
Now anyone can go to the Election Board office at 300 Garst Avenue in Greenville and vote before Election Day when the board announces the times available to vote.
One reason for some primary elections having low voter turnout are voters reluctant to declare a party or are swing voters, explained Becky Martin, Director of the Dark County Board of Elections.
"Not wanting to declare a party happens in every election. They vote for the person, not for the party because they believe it's none of anyone's business what party they declare," Martin said.
This year, the Ohio ballot has five parties on it — Republican, Democrat, Green, Constitution, Libertarian and a No Party ballot for issues only.
With a total of 711 absentee/early votes, break downs show 414 votes at the Greenville office, 37 nursing home votes, 258 mailed-in ballots and two votes from uniformed and overseas and absentee voters.

Easiest (Most Powerful) Classes to play on Gold
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I'm in a steady rotation of:
Human Adept (N7 Eagle), N7 Destroyer (Reegar + Saber), Human Engineer, Vorcha Sentinel (Reegar), Asari Infiltrator (Viper), Krogan Vanguard (N7 Pirahna).
Usually rock the +Shields Equip, except for the Vorcha, I switch out the +Grenades/Shotgun Damage.
Looking for other classes which would be easiest to carry Gold Matches.
Xbox 360 GT: o 8bitPunk o
inb4 ghost + harrier
Anything with flamer.
GT: F3rocious Panda
Krogan Vanguard spec'd for health and shields, damage reduction Barrier (no Carnage), w/ Cyclonic Mod IV, Shield Boost V and Reegar with Incendiary IV ammo.
You can take like 4 Prime shots and still have 3/4 shields. Anything other than Primes is just an annoying mosquito that is ready to be squashed. Hunters go down in a single clip, Pyros too (if you back off and let them explode). You can set up Fire Explosions too.
Similar set up with the Geth Trooper, with no Hunter mode and range on the flamer. Same set up, except with an Acolyte w/ Cryo IV instead.

Turian Ghost + Harrier
Geth Trooper + Acolyte (or anything, really)
Kroguard + Reegar, especially against the Geth
Asari Huntress + Warp Ammo, especially against Reapers
Oh the movie never ends...
i know you have a Destroyer but you should try him with the Prothean Particle Riffle if you have it
Gamer Tag : CrusnikCain
The Drell Assassin is pretty good too.
Stick a pistol on him like the Arc or Carnifex and follow this pattern;
Cloak > Set Recon Mine > Shoot to cancel Cloak > Re-Cloak > Detonate Recon Mine > Set Recon Mine > Shoot > and so on and so forth.
Throw in a few Homing Grenades whilst still cloaked on boss enemies (they wont break Cloak, so you'll still need to shoot). If you can follow/predict the spawns andthe map isn't too big, you'll never see the kills and assist points stop ticking over on your screen.

Turian Ghost without a doubt, he has damage potential that can rival the Geth Infiltrator (assuming the cloak AR damage evo and using an AR), but unlike the Geth Infiltrator, he can tank, has a full shield charge on demand, a good dodge, while also conferring a stability bonus that makes the Hurricane godly as you can use damage boosting attachments then.
Vorcha Sentinel against Reapers is pretty brutal as well though, especially on Glacier.
Poet Eliot had it all wrong....
Bat soldier and the destroyer from what I remember. The easiest games I ever had.
oh and male Quarian engineer with Acolyte, mostly against geth. The soldiers are awesome against Reaper and Cerberus. I didn't even have the best weapons or mods possible. Or I was just too good..

Land reform 'beneficiaries' in Quezon get death threats
LUCENA CITY, Philippines – What good does a farmer's certificate of land ownership do if it exposes him to danger?
Jansept Geronimo, campaign officer of the Quezon Association for Rural Development and Democratization Services (Quardds), said they had to rush to Bondoc Peninsula on Friday afternoon after receiving reports that most recipients of Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) involving Hacienda Reyes that were distributed to them only on February 6 were being subjected to different forms of harassment, death threats.
He said that aside from death threats, other farmers were warned their water lines would be cut and their houses fenced off from the rest of the village, Geronimo said over phone from San Andres town Saturday.
He said the threats and intimidation were aimed at instilling fear among the other tenants who have yet to receive their CLOAs.
Geronimo said they would report the threats to the police to determine who was making them.
Quardds has been helping the Bondoc Peninsula farmers in their decades-old struggle to own the land they till.
Geronimo said they would immediately map out contingency plans to ensure the safety of farmer leaders who received death threats.
"It is ironic that most CLOA beneficiaries are still hiding in fear from the warrants of arrest after the landowners slapped them with concocted charges. And now, here comes another new batch of fearful farmers who would probably join the rest in hiding," he said.
Geronimo called on President Benigno Aquino III, the Commission on Human Rights and the Department of Justice to stop the wave of harassment against farmer leaders and CLOA recipients in the Bondoc Peninsula.
"We were all victorious when we received our respective CLOAs only to realize it would only bring us more pain and agony to our already deprived and helpless situation," said Maribel Luzara, president of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Bondoc Peninsula (KMBP).
Luzara said she pitied the CLOA holders who remain in hiding because of the warrants of arrest.
KMBP records show a total of 303 criminal cases, mostly qualified theft of coconuts, have been filed against 223 tenants by several landlords in the Bondoc Peninsula.
She said the wanted farmers, now less than 50, could not even go near their village to help their families cope with the surge of harassment tactics.
"Some of them are crying to us, begging that we help their families because they cannot do anything," Geronimo said.
He said they also have to attend to farmer-tenants in the Matias estate in San Francisco town whose farms were being fenced off by the landowners to stop agrarian reform beneficiaries from taking possession of the land awarded to them.
"The government should immediately attend to the CLOA beneficiaries. What's the use of the land title if it would only expose them to more harassment? They are helpless against the power and influence of the landowners who continue to sabotage the agrarian reform program of the state," Geronimo said.
He noted that in October last year, Commission on Human Rights chair Loretta Ann Rosales and her four commissioners called on concerned government agencies and the DAR to address the plight of the tenants in Hacienda Matias.
In the document "Human Rights Advisory", the CHR strongly condemned the "continuing violations of the rights of the farmers of Hacienda Matias by the hacienda owners."
The CHR document said Hacienda Matias consists of approximately 1,736 hectares located in the villages of Don Juan Vercelos and Batanguiad in San Francisco town at the southern tip of the province.
In 2004, around 121 tenant families of the Matias estate petitioned for the inclusion of the land they were tilling under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) of the government.
In December 2010, a survey of the hacienda was initiated by DAR and 639 hectares of the property was then paid for by the Land Bank of the Philippines as precondition for the transfer of the titles to the government.
However, the landowners petitioned for exemption from CARP coverage, declaring the land to be a "cattle ranch."
The DAR in an order on June 14, 2012, denied the application for exemption for "utter lack of merit." The owners of the estate brought the case to Malacañang.
In the light of this, DAR could not proceed with distribution of the land to tenant farmers, pending resolution of the petition for exclusion, the CHR said.
The CHR said that due to the petition, the farmers were subjected anew to various forms of harassments, and worst, were forcibly evicted from the land they were tilling.
It added that affected farmers "are now being prevented from reaping the fruits of their crops, consequentially, disconnecting them from their source of food and livelihood."
Geronimo said the situation at Hacienda Matias has gotten even worse.
On February 6, in a historic land distribution program in Mulanay town, the Department of Agrarian Reform led by Secretary Virgilio de los Reyes distributed CLOAs for 480 hectares of the some 2,000-hectare Hacienda Reyes straddling the towns of San Narciso, Buenavista and San Andres.
De los Reyes said there would be more land distribution in the Bondoc Peninsula even after CARP ends next year because the government is determined to end the decades-old agrarian conflict in the province's 3rd district, a former stronghold of the communist New People's Army.

ATHENS - They much ballyhooed coronation of Uga VII as Georgia's new mascot wasn't the only premier in the Bulldogs' 45-21 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday.Two former GAC teammates - Georgia's Caleb King and Georgia Southern's Lee Chapple - got their first chances to shine on the big stage of college football. And both made auspicious debuts in front of a sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium. "I was born and raised in Atlanta, so I knew what Georgia football was about," Chapple said. "It really felt like I was at home. It was really exciting being a part of it." As excited as Chapple was, imagine how King must have felt. After missing the last half of his senior season at GAC with a knee injury and sitting out a redshirt season last year, the 5-foot-11, 212-pound redshirt freshman tailback had to wait another half before finally seeing his first action as a Bulldog on Georgia's second possession of the second half. It was worth the wait. The announcement of his 5-yard gain on his first carry elicited a noticeable cheer among the Bulldog faithful - noticeable to everyone, apparently, except King. "That's what people were saying, but I didn't even hear it," King said. "I want to thank the crowd and thank all the fans." As it turned out, King gave the Bulldog nation plenty to bark about even with its team up 31-0 heading into the second half. He actually finished as the game's leading rusher with 95 yards on 12 carries, including a nifty 27-yard scamper that helped set up Matthew Stafford's 5-yard touchdown pass to Kemiko Goodman with 6:07 left in the third quarter. "I started out a little nervous," King admitted. "After I ran that first play, I got the jitters out. ... It was everything (I thought it would be) and more. "It felt real good playing. Now, I feel like part of the team." King wasn't the only one feeling good about his performance. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt also was pleased with what he saw out of King and fellow freshman running back Richard Samuel, who finished with 34 yards on six carries, in their backup roles to star tailback Knowshon Moreno. "I'm just glad they got a chance to play," Richt said. "When Caleb got in there, he really took advantage of his opportunities. And there was some very fine blocking for him, but he also had a couple runs where he had to break tackles and he had to make people miss." Chapple's day started earlier than King's, with the 6-1, 190-pound redshirt quarterback starting the game under center for Georgia Southern and alternating with sophomore Antonio Henton throughout the day. Despite the final result, Chapple was up beat about his day, which ended with him leading the Eagles to two of their three touchdowns - scoring one of them on a 1-yard sneak - and completing 9 of 18 passes for 86 yards. "The first snap, I felt comfortable," Chapple said. "Being in the offense for now two years, there's nothing real special being thrown at us. "I was real comfortable in the second half. We scored two straight touchdowns. It's always awesome to score on two straight drives." Eagles coach Chris Hatcher was equally optimistic of the play of both Chapple and Henton, and reiterated his previously stated assertion that his team has two starting quarterbacks. "We've got two good ones," Hatcher said. "I thought (Chapple) handled himself extremely well. He got off to a bad start, and that was what I was concerned about - whichever guy went out there first. They may have been better off being the second guy going out there with all the youth. "But he bounced back and, boy, he really threw the ball well in the second half."

FFA Students Lead Out Loud
By Trista Gropp
DEC. 1, 2009 | University of Wisconsin- River Falls students are heeding the theme of the recent National FFA Convention, Lead Out Loud, as two students earned the national recognition from prestigious awards and others received the American FFA Degree.
UWRF students went to Indianapolis Oct. 21-24 to participate in convention activities, contests and award presentations.
Amy Lynn Robak (pictured, center), a senior conservation major from Oak Park, Minn., was named the 2009 American Star in Agriscience, while Jordan Hanson, a sophomore animal science-equine emphasis major from Chatfield, Minn., won an Agri-Entrepreneurship Award.
Each year, the national FFA organization selects 16 finalists (four per award) for the organizations top awards: American Star Farmer, American Star in Agribusiness, American Star in Agricultural Placement and American Star in Agriscience.
Star awards recognize students who have developed outstanding agricultural skill and competency through their career development programs, demonstrated outstanding management skills, and earned the American FFA Degree.
Robaks interest in conservation and agronomy led her to an award-winning Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) project as a Star in Agriscience finalist. As part of her project, Robak worked at the Benton County Soil and Water Conservation Office, assisting with farmers concerned with environmental and natural resource issues on their land.
Robak says, My nutrient management research project influences me enough to pursue a minor in land use planning focusing on agriculture preservation.
At the convention, a panel of judges interviewed Robak. Then, at a ceremony she was named the winner and received a plaque and $4,000 prize.
The Agri-Entrepreneurship Awards honor FFA members who have recognized a market opportunity that was overlooked by others and conceived a plan to pursue that opportunity.
Hanson began his business endeavors at a young age with a pony. Since first becoming involved with horses, he has grown his interest into a business, JH Horse Company.
Hanson travels to horse sales, purchasing as many horses as he can handle and then puts extra training into them to make them more valuable. Since coming to UWRF, he has relocated his business to the River Falls area. He is one of 10 students from across the country that received the National Agri-Entrepreneurship Award and a $1,000 prize.
Numerous UWRF students also received the American FFA Degree, which is the highest degree awarded by the national FFA organization and recognizes students demonstrated leadership abilities and outstanding achievements in agricultural business, production, processing and service programs.

His observations of many churches makes this a very practical leadership book that is not just theoretical, but examples from what is working. I really like his idea of being aware of our "culture" and how that affects the way we do "church". I would highly recommend this book for all ministers and church leadership.

Our God shares Godís powers with us so we can make our lives better and the lives of others better. When we learn how to use Godís superpowers, we become Godís partnersó Godís superheroesóon earth."
—from the Introduction
This inspirational guide for kids ages eight to twelve is a marvel, showing them (and their families) that itís easy to become Godís partner on earth: figure out what God does in the Bible, then do it!

"Brings [a] unique blend of acute insight, down-to-earth wisdom and warm humor to the world of Jewish childrenís booksÖ. Jewish values come alive in the stories, the questions and the suggestions for ways to do good and to feel better about oneself in doing so. A book not just to be read, but to be done."

"An extraordinary combination of Jewish teaching, folk stories, practical exercises and reflections that lets a child build internal power and call out for greater strengthÖ. A must for every teacher and every parent [who] wishes that our children grow up able to turn within and to God to know joy and face challenge."
—Cyd B. Weissman, director, Innovation in Congregational Learning, The Jewish Education Project, New York
"Ron Wolfson has inspired generations of adults and children to learn. Here is his inspiration on the page: Give this book to a child and watch his or her eyes light up with the excitement of spiritual growth."
—Rabbi David J. Wolpe, rabbi, Sinai Temple, Los Angeles, California; author, Teaching Your Children about God
"Itís hard to say what delighted me more: reading this book as a rabbi or as a mother. Written with a passion and sensitivity that can only flow from a teacher who truly believes that good books can change peopleís lives, that the eyes are the windows to the soul Ö and that we are allóevery one of usóangels with important things to do in this world."
—Rabbi Sharon Brous, founding rabbi, IKAR, Los Angeles, California

The present invention generally relates to a diagnostic device for use with process control systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to hand-held diagnostic devices for interfacing with a packet based network (such as Fieldbus) in a process control system and for interacting with the communications of the field devices linked to the network in order to associate communication packets with specific field devices for the purpose of diagnosing problems on the network.
In industrial settings, control systems monitor and control inventories, industrial and chemical processes, and the like. Typically, the control systems perform these functions using field devices distributed at key locations in the industrial process and coupled to the control circuitry in the control room by a process control loop. The term "field device" refers to any device that performs a function in a distributed control system, including all devices currently known in the control art.
Generally, each field device includes a transducer or actuator. A transducer (including actuators) is understood to mean either a device that generates an output signal based on a physical input or that generates a physical output based on an input signal. Typically, a transducer transforms an input into an output having a different form. Often, one system provides power to actuate a transducer, which in turn supplies power usually in another form to a second system. For example, a loudspeaker is a transducer that transforms electrical signals into sound energy. Types of transducers typically include various analytical equipment and sensors, pressure sensors, thermistors, thermocouples, strain gauges, flow transmitters, positioners, actuators, solenoids, indicator lights, and the like.
A communication network links the controllers with the sensors and actuators located in the field. One such communications network is a packet based network such as Fieldbus. Fieldbus is a generic term used to describe a digital, bidirectional, multidrop, serial communication network for connecting isolated field devices, such as controllers, actuators and sensors, in industrial applications. The Instrument Society of America (ISA) adopted a standard for Fieldbus communications, which is identified as ISA SP50.02. The ISA standard Fieldbus system utilizes a two wire bus to provide simultaneous digital communication and DC power to remotely located field devices.
In general, the Fieldbus communication protocol is a known open communication protocol that is employed in many process control networks. Generally, Fieldbus provides synchronous (i.e., scheduled) communications and asynchronous (e.g. token ring) communications on a network bus. The scheduled/synchronous communications are used for signals relating to actual process control activities, while the asynchronous communications are used to convey secondary information (such as communications to and from a user or for measurements not directly related to process control).
Field devices derive power from the two-wire bus, and transmit data to and receive messages from a central controller, which is separated physically from the field devices. When problems arise in communicating with a particular field device or if data received from the field device is anomalous, it is sometimes necessary to diagnose the problem manually.
Some attempts have been made to incorporate diagnostic circuit elements within individual field devices to allow the field devices to diagnose themselves. However, such additional circuitry increases the cost of the individual field device. Additionally, when transmission errors arise, such internal circuitry may be insufficient to properly identify the problem, sending messages indicating the field device is okay when in fact there is a problem. Moreover, such extra circuitry places a power drain on the Fieldbus power supply that most of the time is unnecessary, resulting in wasteful power dissipation.
It is also possible to connect a device, such as a Fieldbus Monitor FBT-3 produced by RELCOM, Inc. of Forest Grove, Oreg., to examine a "live" Fieldbus network without interfering with its operation. Such a device is intended to verify and to troubleshoot network operation, but, by itself, it cannot communicate on the Fieldbus segment.
As previously mentioned, Fieldbus is a type of serial communication network for connecting isolated field devices, such as controllers, actuators and sensors or transmitters, in industrial applications. Typically, the network involves homerun cabling connecting a control center with various field devices, either directly or via junction boxes, which connect one or more serial devices to the network. Generally, a fieldbus capable field device includes a fieldbus interface chip and a sensor, transducer, actuator or other similar circuit element for functioning on the network.
Since the precise requirements of each field device vary, it is not always possible to provide a direct interface from the Fieldbus Interface Chip to the measurement circuit of the field device. Moreover, on a "live" Fieldbus network, multiple data-link-protocol-data-units (DLPDUs) may be traversing the communication path in quick succession. This requires that the diagnostic circuit be capable of correctly associating a DLPDU with its source.
With current diagnostic devices and methods, troubleshooting communication problems and configuration errors associated with the field devices on the protocol bus is difficult. As a result, users at the system level cannot easily identify the source of problems and are typically only informed by the system that the overall process is not operating properly. When such an alert arises, it is difficult to identify and fix the errant field device.
A diagnostic system associates data link protocol data units (DLPDUs) with data taken by a measurement circuit using a measurement interface. The measurement interface communicates with the measurement circuit and a microprocessor to measure DLPDU data on the Fieldbus segment. The DLPDUs are written to the receive message queue according to the message queue manager. The DLPDU data is read from the queue in the order in which the DLPDUs occurred on the Fieldbus segment. The diagnostic tool takes a measurement of a DLPDU on the Fieldbus segment to extract measurement data. The tool writes the measurement data to a software queue. The software tests a status indicator associated with the measurement data to determine if the DLPDU is currently active. If the DLPDU from which the measurement data is taken is still active, the measurement data is associated with the DLPDU.
Generally, the homerun cable 14 may be a two-wire, a three-wire or a four-wire twisted pair cabling such as with a traditional Fieldbus network. In typical plants, the homerun cable 14 may extend thousands of meters and numerous field devices 16 may be connected (via connectors, direct wiring or a junction box) to the control center 12 via the cabling 14, making the network 18 quite large.
As shown, a diagnostic tool 20 is connected to the homerun cabling 14 in order to identify problems with the control network 18. Generally, the diagnostic tool 20 is a hand-held device that can be carried by an operator and installed at any point in the network 18. The diagnostic tool 20 has openings or leads designed to facilitate connection of the diagnostic tool 20 to the network 18 at a physical layer. The diagnostic tool 18 may be powered by the network 18 or alternatively by an independent power source, such as a battery, a solar panel, or existing power circuitry within the plant (e.g. a standard AC power circuit with two or three prong wall outlets).
In a Fieldbus network 18, field devices 16 transmit data in framed packets referred to as "Data Link Protocol Data Units" (DLPDUs). Generally, the data link protocol provides data link services by making use of the services available from the physical layer (the cabling). Each DLPDU contains a number of fields or delimiters: a frame control field which specifies the type of DLPDU and conveys size parameters of the DLPDU; zero to three explicit address fields, each containing a DL-address, all of the same length; additional parameters of the DLPDU; a user data field for most DLPDUs; and an Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field used to check the integrity of the received DLPDU. Appended to each DLPDU is a preamble and Start of Data (SD) delimiter. The DLPDU is terminated by an End of Data (ED) delimiters, indicating the end of the data string. Each individual bit of data may be considered as a physical-layer-protocol-data-unit (PLPDU), whereas a series of bits are combined to make up the DLPDU.
Generally, one or more DLPDUs are transmitted on the Fieldbus cabling 14. The diagnostic tool 20 observes or detects each DLPDU independently. If the diagnostic tool 20 had a Fieldbus Interface Chip (FIC) that is capable of receiving and processing only one DLPDU at a time (such as with conventional diagnostic tools), the measurement data associated to the DLPDU could be validated simply by checking the status of the Receive Activity Signal (RxA). If the signal is active after the software has taken a data measurement, then the measurement is associated correctly with the received DLPDU.
In contrast, the diagnostic tool 20 of the present invention has a FIC that is capable of queuing multiple DLPDUs. Since the FIC is capable of queuing multiple received DLPDUs to allow for software latency, the RxA signal can no longer be used as a mechanism to validate the measurement data to DLPDU association. Due to queuing, the DLPDU at the front of the queue may not necessarily be the DLPDU currently active on the Fieldbus segment.
In order to read a DLPDU message packet, the packet must be sampled. Typically, an external circuit generates a chip interrupt request (Chip IRQ). The chip interrupt request in turn triggers a Software Interrupt. Typically, it takes a small amount of time to wake up the software once the leading edge of the chip interrupt request signal is received. The delay between the receipt of the leading edge of the Chip IRQ and the wake up time for the Software Interrupt is a latency period.
As shown, an external circuit generates a Chip IRQ when DLPDU (N) is active on the Fieldbus network. The Chip IRQ causes a Software Interrupt which in turn causes the chip to sample the signal on the Fieldbus line. When the chip finishes sampling, if the same DLPDU is within the window, then the resulting sample is good. However, given the latency delays between the chip interrupt request and the wake up of the software on the chip, and given that the length and spacing of DLPDUs on the network can vary dramatically, it is possible that at the time when the analog to digital sample is occurring, the DLPDU disappears from the window. As shown with respect to DLPDU (N+1), the analog to digital sample begins after the DLPDU has ended. It is possible if a second DLPDU (N+2) is transmitted immediately after the DLPDU (N+1), the analog to digital sample may catch the tail end of DLPDU (N+1) or the leading edge of DLPDU (N+2). Alternatively, the sample simply detects the carrier signal at its trailing end. Whether the DLPDU has disappeared from the window or is replaced with a subsequent DLPDU, the reading is out of range, and it is not possible to associate the signal reading to the DLPDU.
The diagnostic tool 20 utilizes a boolean attribute or status indicator, "CurrentlyActive", to each DLPDU object received by the FIC. Since the FIC is capable of queuing multiple DLPDU objects, there exists a set of P (P>1) DLPDU objects in the FIC hardware memory. When the DLPDU object is selected by the input multiplexer, the CurrentlyActive attribute is set to true after receipt of a start of activity delimiter (i.e. when the Receive Activity "RxA" signal is true). The CurrentlyActive attribute is reset to false after receipt of an end of activity delimiter (i.e. when the Receive Activity "RxA" signal is false).
As shown in
In essence, the MAU 22 both measures the signal on the network and retrieves the DLPDU, passing the signal to the A/D converter 24 and passing the DLPDU to the FIC 28 for further processing. As will be discussed in detail with respect to later figures, circuitry in the FIC 28 generates a software interrupt request when a DLPDU is active on the Fieldbus segment. The RxA signal activates a state machine in the FIC 28 which receives the DLPDU from the MAU 22. The DLPDU then is shifted into a free block of registers within a queue according to a receive queue manager 50 (
In a preferred embodiment, the queue includes three receive message registers and a single transmit register; however, it is conceivable that more than three registers could be used. In the present instance, if the number of stored DLPDUs reaches three, and the diagnostic tool 20 does not begin processing one of the stored DLPDUs, then there is a problem with the diagnostic tool 20. While diagnosis of the diagnostic tool 20 itself is not a function of the DLPDU or of the tool 20, it is characteristic of the diagnostic tool 20 that the diagnostic tool 20 typically does not fall more than one or two messages behind at any given time.
The microprocessor interface 38 also passes data to the transmit circuit 40, which in turn transmits the data via the physical layer interface 34 to the Fieldbus segment (not shown).
A first message received by the diagnostic tool 20, for example, would be passed to the input MUX 44. The Receive Queue Manager 50 would have both the data in and data out pointers pointing to data object 46A. The message would be written into data object 46A. The Receive Queue Manager 50 would then update its input pointer to point to data object 46B, so that the next received message would not overwrite the data stored in 46A. When the microprocessor 30 is ready to read data from the output, data stored in data object 46A is gated through the output MUX 48 and on to the microprocessor interface 38. When the data is read from the output mux 48, a message acknowledgment is sent to the Receive Queue Manager 50, causing the Receive Queue Manager 50 to update its output pointer (Out on
As shown in
In general, the Fieldbus chip is capable of queuing multiple received DLPDUs to allow for software latency. The receive active signal is not used as a mechanism to validate the measurement data to DLPDU association. Due to queuing, the DLPDU at the front of the queue may not necessarily be the DLPDU currently active on the Fieldbus segment. Thus, the present invention uses a boolean attribute (Currently Active) relative to each object in the Fieldbus chip hardware which represents a DLPDU that could be received by the Fieldbus chip.
The association of the DLPDU message content with a specific field device is independent of both the CPU and the measurement circuit. The software driver only needs to check to make sure that the Currently Active attribute is true after taking the measurement value to guarantee the measurement's validity. The association decision is guaranteed to be correct. If the Currently Active attribute is true, then that DLPDU is positively associated with the measurement value. If false, there is no possible association. If conventional receive active flags (RxA) were used to associate measurement values to DLPDUs, the measurements made when a receive is active cannot be guaranteed to be associated with the DLPDU in the receive queue even though there is a high likelihood that it is the case, especially with faster CPUs.
By implementing the Currently Active attribute in hardware, the DLPDU verification process requires very few additional gates, adding virtually no cost to the hardware. While this association scheme does not guarantee that every DLPDU can be associated with a measurement value, at the very least, the present invention guarantees that when an association between measurement data and the DLPDU is made, the association is valid. In the worst case, no DLPDU can be associated with the measurement value. The measurements must always be made while the DLPDU is actually active on the Fieldbus network, which imposes a significantly tighter latency restriction on software than on the receive queue, which can hold multiple DLPDUs. Nevertheless, while previous diagnostic tools could read multiple DLPDUs but not associate the DLPDU with the specific field device, or could only do one at a time, the present invention allows for associating specific DLPDUs with a specific field device. This is a significant improvement over the prior art.
While the present invention has been described with respect to DLPDUs transmitted over a Fieldbus network, it will be understood by workers skilled in the art that the technique of the present invention may be applied to process control signals transmitted over any type of process control network. In particular, the present invention may be applied for diagnostic tools for use with a currently active process control network over which multiple process control signals are transmitted and received.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, although one specific type of packet based network (i.e. Fieldbus) has been used in this description, the invention is applicable to other forms of packet based networks (e.g. Multidrop RS232) as well.

Although violence broke out among the cast members more than once during season 6, Cynthia Bailey said she still thinks she and her "Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-stars offer a positive depiction of Black women.
"I do think that in so many other ways, we are still a great platform and are great examples of empowerment," Cynthia recently told TheGrio.com.
The bout between Apollo Nida and "RHOA" guest Brandon DeShazer and the physical attack on Kenya Moore by Porsha Williams were the first real instances of violence on the series, with the exception of some weave pulling and maybe a shove or two.
However, Cynthia said she thinks her co-stars have learned from their mistakes and won't let things escalate to that level again.
"It is reality, so sometimes things just happen and the fight was just unfortunate, and hopefully, the last time that's going to happen on our show," she said. "People don't tune into 'Atlanta Housewives' for the fights."
Despite the violence, Cynthia said she and her co-stars are examples of successful, professional wives and mothers.
"We are businesswomen. Most of my cast mates, including myself, we are businesswomen… People do find inspiration in watching our show," said Cynthia who acknowledged that she's not responsible for how her co-stars behave on the show.
"I always appreciate this platform to show grace and class and integrity and positivity. I'm just one woman. That's what I do, so I can only speak for myself," she said.
As for her co-stars, Cynthia said she thinks "RHOA" will be a successful series even if some of her colleagues opt not to return.
"I don't think 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' is about one person," she said. "It's an ensemble. It's always been an ensemble. It's never been about one person. This is a pie and we all put ingredients in it and that's what makes it work."
