Dayspring at Heber Valley is a short-stay, inpatient medical stabilization service offered at Heber Valley Medical Center. A typical stay in the hospital can last between three to five days, as determined by patients and their doctor.
Admitted patients will be under the care of experienced and caring doctors, nurses and other health care providers. While undergoing detoxification, Dayspring patients will also have opportunities to work closely with a counselor who will discuss post-Dayspring treatment options.
Opioid and alcohol addiction are complex diseases. Treatment and recovery can seem overwhelming. But there is hope. Dayspring at Heber Valley is a medical stabilization program for motivated individuals that are ready to get help with overcoming their drug or alcohol dependence.
In fact, because drugs change the brain in ways that foster compulsive drug abuse, quitting is difficult, even for those who are ready to do so. But with medical assistance, many individuals have been able to stop their addictions and discover a pathway to stability and healing.
Medical stabilization is a process during which a chemical or alcohol-dependent patient is evaluated and treated by specially trained physicians and nurses working to stabilize a patient both medically and emotionally. Attempting to stop using opioids or alcohol without medical supervision can be dangerous or in some cases even life threatening.
Treatment may include medication, counseling, and other doctor-supervised therapies. Treatment is focused both on helping a patient to feel better, while also helping them to prepare for successful post-Dayspring rehabilitation.
The following services are included in Dayspring's medical stabilization:

How can our team of professionals help?
Ultimately you are in charge of managing CKD, but our team of healthcare professionals can guide you in making decisions that are best for you. In addition, they will help you to:
Heber Valley Medical Center's Diagnostic Imaging department is staffed with board-certified radiologists, who provide professional services and interpretation as well as registered and licensed radiology technologists. We participate in an affiliated technologist training program with Weber State University for general radiography and specialty programs. We are also accredited by the American College of Radiology.
We offer total exam coverage and radiologist interpretation 24 hours a day. All technologists are registered and accredited and the physicians are board-certified radiologists specializing in chest, musculoskeletal radiology.
CT scans allow radiologists (physicians) to see detailed pictures of structures inside the body and to help them properly diagnose the extent of injury or illness.
CT scans allow physicians to see detailed pictures of structures inside the body. In addition to helping physicians to properly diagnose the extent of injury or illness, CT scans are also performed as a preventive measure to determine if you're developing coronary artery disease long before you experience any symptoms.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound are two methods of taking dynamic visual images inside the body without the use of radiation used in x-ray and CT scans. MRI is a noninvasive, diagnostic technique capable of displaying high quality, cross-sectional images. MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves and ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce visual images of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body.
Our mobile MRI unit provides us with the state-of-the-art III Tesla MRI Magnet. It offers the best quality MRI imaging currently available. Only a handful of these machines are in use in the entire intermountain west. The MRI is available on Mondays & Thursdays.
We recently purchased GE Logiq E9 ultrasound equipment. Upgrading this equipment provides us with crisper digital images. With 3D and 4D capabilities we can view more in-depth vascular images, breast images, pediatric images, and abdominal images.
Heber Valley Medical Center has a fully accredited ACR mammography program under the direction of board-certified radiologists. There are also six certified mammography technologists. A new facility offers mammography patients convenient parking, registration and private exam/dressing rooms. The program has new digital state-of-the-art mammography equipment and breast ultrasound capability. Abnormal mammography screening patients will be offered follow-up studies on the same day.
Echocardiography is a painless test that uses sound waves to create images of your heart. It provides your doctor with information about the size and shape of your hear and how well your heart's chambers and valves are working.
Osteoporosis is a silent, progressive disease characterized by decreased bone density, increased bone fragility and greater risk of fracture. We recently added the GE iDXA bone densitometry, which is one of the world's most innovative and productive bone assessment systems in helping diagnose osteoporosis. We use a full body scan, called DXA, short for dual-energy absorptiometry. The X-ray dose from the bone densitometry test is comparable to the naturally occurring radiation you are exposed to in one week. Weekend and evening appointments are available.
With the GE iDXA bone densitometry we have the capabilities to provide precise data on bone and tissue composition, including bone mineral density (BMD), lean and fat tissue mass, and percent fat. This service is not covered by insurance, and costs $20.00, which includes total body composition screening, and print out of results. Weekend and evening appointments are available.
As part of Intermountain Healthcare, Heber Valley Medical Center's Diagnostic Imaging Services are fully integrated with all Intermountain Healthcare facilities. All images are digital, which means they're acquired, distributed, stored and shared electronically. This enhances the accuracy of the images and the speed of care.
Women who need to have an imaging procedure completed will be able to take advantage of the services available in the new Women's Diagnostic Center, located behind the current diagnostic imaging department. This center is designed to cater to the special healthcare needs of women.
Heber Valley Medical Center offers all major rehabilitation services and provides the most highly certified group of therapists in the region.

Farmers and Suicide: Help is Available
We understand that reasons for farmer suicide may be strictly personal and unrelated to farming. However, we also know that the national dairy crisis, now well into its second year, has significantly heightened stress levels for thousands of dairy farmers across the nation. A report from The Daily Mail of Greene County, New York, touches on this reality.
Whatever personal reasons Pierson may have had for taking his own life, we can be sure that they were exacerbated by the crisis that all dairy farmers have been experiencing for more than a year now. No matter how hard they work, the nation's family dairy farmers are losing money every time they milk their cows due to a broken pricing system that fails to take into account the real cost to farmers of producing milk. Often, farmers and their families have no choice but to squarely face and try to fend off the bleak prospect of bankruptcy, foreclosure, and, finally, the erasure of a cherished way of life. Though farmer suicide (and suicide generally) is notoriously under-reported, available evidence indicates that the farmer suicide rate is climbing and likely to get worse as the dairy crisis continues. A Wall Street Journal blog posting, helps to clarify the worsening situation.
Farmers, with the help of their families and friends, must understand that they need not endure an overwhelming situation by themselves. It is crucial to get the word out that help is available. Farm Aid's Farmer Resource Network and Hotline (1-800-FARM-AID) directs farmers to mental health and suicide prevention assistance all over the country. In the Midwest, for example, the Sowing Seeds of Help program directs uninsured, under-insured, and at-risk farmers and farm workers to rural helplines in seven different states. They can also help direct farmers to rural health services elsewhere in the country. Nationally, farmers can find toll-free, 24/7 suicide prevention and emotional crisis hotlines at http://suicidehotlines.net/ or by calling 1-800-SUICIDE and 1-800-273-TALK. Spanish speaking callers may use 1-888-628-9454.
Farmers are known for their willingness to help a neighbor who is in trouble. Let's all return the favor before it's too late.

It's also time for everyone interested in protecting family farmers to join groups such as the Weston A. Price Foundation and the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund. Let government know we want real food, properly raised, and fairly paid for! (I pay my Amish farmer $7 - $10/gallon for raw cow and goat milk....)ReplyDelete

Farmers need some help in one form or another. This really shouldn't be allowed to go on...Yes the milk price has improved, but after going over the roller-coaster it's going to take a while to improve...Bankers or Farmers....who feeds you?ReplyDelete
Keep helping to save FAMILY FARMS.
- Anonymous10:43 AM
The dairy economy today is similar to that of the late 70's into 80's when tens of thousands of farmers went under. Unlike victims of other catastrophes and traumas (Hurricane Katrina, 9-11) there is little follow-up on the people. What's happened to these farm families? We worked through droughts, low milk prices, etc. until in 1989 we lost our herd in a fire. Tired, angry, depressed- we sold everything else at auction. If I said we never looked back, I'd be lying. Dairying is lonely, dangerous, and demanding. I pray daily for those who have continued.ReplyDelete

Well informed and presented, as usual! Educating consumers to care about what they eat and support the people who produce it is an important step in changing this near-catastrophic situation. Vote with your fork!ReplyDelete
P.S. For another musical shout-out to the farming crisis, check out "Country Life", written by Steve Knightely. Sara Milonovich's version can be heard on myspace!
- Anonymous2:03 PM
Where do we get help? My family and I are a small struggling dairy farm that is deep, deep into debt and have nowhere to go. We hang on for we know no better. My husband works off farm, but still we're sinking more everyday. We don't want to quit. We want to be able to produce a healthy, home-grown product that consumers can feel confident that it's safe and wholesome. We're tired, worried beyond, and feel like it's a losing battle. Not much fight left here. Please spread the word for prayer! We need a real prayer war.ReplyDelete

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Engine
Roush Performance Powertrains And Engines
Matched Engine/Trans Packages From Roush Performance
"Ford in a Ford." This phrase is something of a mantra to the crew at Roush Performance, people who firmly believe that something like a '32 Ford hotrod or Cobra replica shouldn't be hobbled with a Brand X powertrain. They also feel that someone wanting to liven up the drivetrain on pretty much any classic Ford should be able to buy a carefully matched engine and transmission duo that will not only slip right in, but fire right up and drive away without any compatibility or driveability issues, or the need for further small-parts shopping. A tall order? Maybe, but from what we saw and heard during a recent visit to Roush, your project's ideal pairing of potent Ford V-8 and four-speed overdrive automatic may only be a phone call away.
Roush is hardly new to crate engines; it has been offering them for some time and was one of the first to offer a complete engine, ready to run right out of the shipping container. And, by the way, though it's most efficient for us to refer to these simply as "crate" engines, they're really more like "custom crate" engines, as buyers have plenty of choices in the purchase process, right down to the color the block is painted. In fact, buyers have a multitude of options, when it comes to dressing up their engines. Using Roush's most popular crate engine, the 351-based, 525hp 427SR, as an example, buyers can choose between complete or partial polish; custom finishes including paint, anodize, and powder coat options; eight different custom valve cover designs; and two air cleaner options.
OK, so the crate engines are plentiful, but in recent months, the Roush focus has been on matching these hardy powerplants with a modern, electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission--specifically the 4R70W--upgraded to handle the specific engine's output, and tuned to suit the purchaser's particular application and desired shift characteristics. The 4R70W (otherwise known as the wide-ratio AODE) was chosen both for packaging purposes, as it's small enough to fit nearly any application, and because it has been well proven to be capable of handling massive power once suitably modified. Each Roush 4R70W will be built to spec by renowned auto trans specialist, Mark Bowler. Being electronically controlled (rather than by throttle valve) the package's 4R70W has its own powertrain control processor, and will communicate clearly with the upstream engine--no matter whether it is carbureted or fuel-injected.
Overseeing the project is Bob Corn who, before joining Roush, spent the majority of his 19-year career at Ford Motor Company in engine engineering. Bob joined FoMoCo in 1962, right at the start of the Total Performance era, and was deeply involved in the FE engine family and other V-8s. To say he knows Blue Oval powertrains is understatement at its finest. Though Roush offers a huge palette of crate engines based on everything from the 302 small-block to the 385-series big-block, most of the initial batch of packaged powertrains will have their stroker roots in either 351W or 427FE architecture, with the small-blocks displacing 427 cubes and the FEs being of either 468 or 511 cubic inches. Roush crate engines are fully dressed from air breather to oil pan, including a selection of roughly a half-dozen available front-end accessory drive (FEAD) options.
The whole concept is to make these various engines (and powertrain combos) as application-specific and user-friendly as possible. For instance, Roush performance engine marketing manager, Todd Andrews, talks about the units made specifically for the Superformance MKIII Roadster, Daytona Coupe, and GT40: "We know that when a guy orders a Superformance rolling chassis, in whatever configuration he has chosen, there's a [Roush] part number that will fit into that car--correct oil pan, fuel pump clocked so it fits between the framerails, the right accessory drive on it, and so on."

A clock is an instrument used for indicating and maintaining the time and passage thereof. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". For horologists and other specialists the term clock continues to mean exclusively a device with a striking mechanism for announcing intervals of time acoustically, by ringing a bell, a set of chimes, or a gong. A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today, however, a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time which, unlike a watch, is not worn on the person.
The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units, the day, the lunar month, and the year. Such measurement requires devices. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.
Candle clocks and sticks of incense that burn down at approximately predictable speeds have also been used to estimate the passing of time. In an hourglass, fine sand pours through a tiny hole at a constant rate and indicates a predetermined passage of an arbitrary period of time.
Water clocks, also known as clepsydrae (sg: clepsydra), along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments, with the only exceptions being the vertical gnomon and the day-counting tally stick. Given their great antiquity, where and when they first existed are not known and perhaps unknowable. The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and in Egypt around the 16th century BC. Other regions of the world, including India and China, also have early evidence of water clocks, but the earliest dates are less certain. Some authors, however, write about water clocks appearing as early as 4000 BC in these regions of the world.
The Greek and Roman civilizations are credited for initially advancing water clock design to include complex gearing, which was connected to fanciful automata and also resulted in improved accuracy. These advances were passed on through Byzantium and Islamic times, eventually making their way to Europe. Independently, the Chinese developed their own advanced water clocks, passing their ideas on to Korea and Japan.
Some water clock designs were developed independently and some knowledge was transferred through the spread of trade. It is important to point out that the need for the common person to 'know what time it is' largely did not exist until the Industrial Revolution, when it became important to keep track of hours worked. In the earliest of times, however, the purpose for using a water clock was for astronomical and astrological reasons. These early water clocks were calibrated with a sundial. While never reaching the level of accuracy based on today's standards of timekeeping, the water clock was the most accurate and commonly used timekeeping device for millennia, until it was replaced by the more accurate pendulum clock in 17th century Europe.
None of the first clocks survived from 13th century Europe, but various mentions in church records reveal some of the early history of the clock.
Medieval religious institutions required clocks to measure and indicate the passing of time because, for many centuries, daily prayer and work schedules had to be strictly regulated. This was done by various types of time-telling and recording devices, such as water clocks, sundials and marked candles, probably used in combination. Important times and durations were broadcast by bells, rung either by hand or by some mechanical device such as a falling weight or rotating beater.
The word horologia (from the Greek ὡρα, hour, and λεγειν, to tell) was used to describe all these devices, but the use of this word (still used in several romance languages) for all timekeepers conceals from us the true nature of the mechanisms. For example, there is a record that in 1176 Sens Cathedral installed a 'horologe' but the mechanism used is unknown. According to Jocelin of Brakelond, in 1198 during a fire at the abbey of St Edmundsbury (now Bury St Edmunds), the monks 'ran to the clock' to fetch water, indicating that their water clock had a reservoir large enough to help extinguish the occasional fire .
These early clocks may not have used hands or dials, but "told" the time with audible signals.
Between 1280 and 1320, there is an increase in the number of references to clocks and horologes in church records, and this probably indicates that a new type of clock mechanism had been devised. Existing clock mechanisms that used water power were being adapted to take their driving power from falling weights. This power was controlled by some form of oscillating mechanism, probably derived from existing bell-ringing or alarm devices. This controlled release of power - the escapement - marks the beginning of the true mechanical clock. Outside of Europe, the escapement mechanism had been known and used in medieval China, as the Song Dynasty horologist and engineer Su Song (1020 - 1101) incorporated it into his astronomical clock-tower of Kaifeng in 1088. However, his astronomical clock and rotating armillary sphere still relied on the use of flowing water (ie. hydraulics), while European clockworks of the following centuries shed this old habit for a more efficient driving power of weights, in addition to the escapement mechanism.
The first mechanical clocks to be driven by weights and gears were invented by medieval Muslim engineers. The first geared mechanical clock was invented by the 11th-century Arab engineer Ibn Khalaf al-Muradi in Islamic Spain; the first weight-driven mechanical clocks, employing a mercury escapement mechanism and a clock face similar to an astrolabe dial, were also invented by Muslim engineers in the 11th century. A similar weight-driven mechanical clock later appeared in a Spanish language work compiled from earlier Arabic sources for Alfonso X in 1277. The knowledge of weight-driven mechanical clocks produced by Muslim engineers in Spain was transmitted to other parts of Europe through Latin translations of Arabic and Spanish texts on Muslim mechanical technology.
In the 13th century, clock construction and engineering entered a new phase with the advancements made by Al-Jazari, a Muslim engineer from Diyar-Bakr in South East Turkey, who is thought to be behind the birth to the concept of automatic machines. While working for Artuqid king of Diyar-Bakr, Nasir al-Din, al-Jazari made numerous clocks of all shapes and sizes. In 1206 he was ordered by the king to document his inventions leading to the publication of an outstanding book on engineering called "The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices" . This book became an invaluable resource for people of different engineering backgrounds as it described 50 mechanical devices in 6 categories, including water clocks. The most reputed clocks included the Elephant, the Castle and Scribe clocks, all of which were reconstructed by Muslim Heritage Consulting for Ibn Battuta Shopping Mall in Dubai (UAE), where they are fully functional. As well as telling the time, these grand clocks were symbols of status, grandeur and wealth of the Urtuq State.
These mechanical clocks were intended for two main purposes: for signalling and notification (e.g. the timing of services and public events), and for modeling the solar system. The former purpose is administrative, the latter arises naturally given the scholarly interest in astronomy, science, astrology, and how these subjects integrated with the religious philosophy of the time. The astrolabe was used both by astronomers and astrologers, and it was natural to apply a clockwork drive to the rotating plate to produce a working model of the solar system.
Simple clocks intended mainly for notification were installed in towers, and did not always require dials or hands. They would have announced the canonical hours or intervals between set times of prayer. Canonical hours varied in length as the times of sunrise and sunset shifted. The more sophisticated astronomical clocks would have had moving dials or hands, and would have shown the time in various time systems, including Italian hours, canonical hours, and time as measured by astronomers at the time. Both styles of clock started acquiring extravagant features such as automata.
In 1283, a large clock was installed at Dunstable Priory; its location above the rood screen suggests that it was not a water clock . In 1292, Canterbury Cathedral installed a 'great horloge'. Over the next 30 years there are brief mentions of clocks at a number of ecclesiastical institutions in England, Italy, and France. In 1322, a new clock was installed in Norwich, an expensive replacement for an earlier clock installed in 1273. This had a large (2 metre) astronomical dial with automata and bells. The costs of the installation included the full-time employment of two clockkeepers for two years .
Besides the Chinese astronomical clock of Su Song in 1088 mentioned above, in Europe there were the clocks constructed by Richard of Wallingford in St Albans by 1336, and by Giovanni de Dondi in Padua from 1348 to 1364. They no longer exist, but detailed descriptions of their design and construction survive, and modern reproductions have been made. They illustrate how quickly the theory of the mechanical clock had been translated into practical constructions, and also that one of the many impulses to their development had been the desire of astronomers to investigate celestial phenomena.
Wallingford's clock had a large astrolabe-type dial, showing the sun, the moon's age, phase, and node, a star map, and possibly the planets. In addition, it had a wheel of fortune and an indicator of the state of the tide at London Bridge. Bells rang every hour, the number of strokes indicating the time.
Dondi's clock was a seven-sided construction, 1 metre high, with dials showing the time of day, including minutes, the motions of all the known planets, an automatic calendar of fixed and movable feasts, and an eclipse prediction hand rotating once every 18 years.
It is not known how accurate or reliable these clocks would have been. They were probably adjusted manually every day to compensate for errors caused by wear and imprecise manufacture.
The Salisbury Cathedral clock, built in 1386, is considered to be the world's oldest surviving mechanical clock that strikes the hours.
Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 1400s, although they are often erroneously credited to Nürnberg watchmaker Peter Henlein (or Henle, or Hele) around 1511. The earliest existing spring driven clock is the chamber clock given to Peter the Good, Duke of Burgundy, around 1430, now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Spring power presented clockmakers with a new problem; how to keep the clock movement running at a constant rate as the spring ran down. This resulted in the invention of the stackfreed and the fusee in the 1400s, and many other innovations, down to the invention of the modern going barrel in 1760.
The first record of a minute hand on a clock is 1475, in the Almanus Manuscript of Brother Paul .
During the 15th and 16th centuries, clockmaking flourished, particularly in the metalworking towns of Nuremberg and Augsburg, and in France, Blois. Some of the more basic table clocks have only one time-keeping hand, with the dial between the hour markers being divided into four equal parts making the clocks readable to the nearest 15 minutes. Other clocks were exhibitions of craftsmanship and skill, incorporating astronomical indicators and musical movements. The cross-beat escapement was developed in 1585 by Jost Burgi, who also developed the remontoire. Burgi's accurate clocks helped Tycho Brahe to observe astronomical events with much greater precision than before.
The first mechanical alarm clock was invented by the Ottoman engineer Taqi al-Din. He described the alarm clock in his book, The Brightest Stars for the Construction of Mechanical Clocks (Al-Kawākib al-durriyya fī wadh' al-bankāmat al-dawriyya), published in 1556-1559. His alarm clock was capable of sounding at a specified time, achieved by placing a peg on the dial wheel. At the requested time, the peg activated a ringing device. In the same treatise, he described a mechanical astronomical clock called the "observational clock", which was the first to measure time in minutes. He made use of his mathematical knowledge to design three dials which showed the hours, degrees and minutes. He later improved the design of his observational clock to measure time in seconds in an astronomical treatise written at his Istanbul observatory of al-Din (1577-1580). He described his observational clock as "a mechanical clock with three dials which show the hours, the minutes, and the seconds." This was an important innovation in 16th-century practical astronomy, as previous clocks were not accurate enough to be used for astronomical purposes. He further improved the observational clock, using only one dial to represent the hours, minutes and seconds, describing it as "a mechanical clock with a dial showing the hours, minutes and seconds and we divided every minute into five seconds.
Another early record of a second hand on a clock dates back to about 1560, on a clock now in the Fremersdorf collection. However, this clock could not have been accurate, and the second hand was probably for indicating that the clock was working.
The next development in accuracy occurred after 1657 with the invention of the pendulum clock. Galileo had the idea to use a swinging bob to regulate the motion of a time telling device earlier in the 17th century. Christiaan Huygens, however, is usually credited as the inventor. He determined the mathematical formula that related pendulum length to time (99.38 cm or 39.13 inches for the one second movement) and had the first pendulum-driven clock made. In 1670, the English clockmaker William Clement created the anchor escapement, an improvement over Huygens' crown escapement . Within just one generation, minute hands and then second hands were added.
A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and reliability of clocks was the importance of precise time-keeping for navigation. The position of a ship at sea could be determined with reasonable accuracy if a navigator could refer to a clock that lost or gained less than about 10 seconds per day. This clock could not contain a pendulum, which would be virtually useless on a rocking ship. Many European governments offered a large prize for anyone that could determine longitude accurately; for example, Great Britain offered 20,000 pounds, equivalent to millions of dollars today. The reward was eventually claimed in 1761 by John Harrison, who dedicated his life to improving the accuracy of his clocks. His H5 clock is reported to have lost less than 5 seconds over 10 days.
The excitement over the pendulum clock had attracted the attention of designers resulting in a proliferation of clock forms. Notably, the longcase clock (also known as the grandfather clock) was created to house the pendulum and works. The English clockmaker William Clement is also credited with developing this form in 1670 or 1671. It was also at this time that clock cases began to be made of wood and clock faces to utilize enamel as well as hand-painted ceramics.
On November 17, 1797, Eli Terry received his first patent for a clock. Terry is known as the founder of the American clock-making industry.
Alexander Bain, Scottish clockmaker, patented the electric clock in 1840. The electric clock's mainspring is wound either with an electric motor or with an electro-magnet and armature. In 1841, he first patented the electromagnetic pendulum.
The development of electronics in the twentieth century led to clocks with no clockwork parts at all. Time in these cases is measured in several ways, such as by the vibration of a tuning fork, the behaviour of quartz crystals, the resonance of polycarbonates., or the quantum vibrations of atoms. Even mechanical clocks have since come to be largely powered by batteries, removing the need for winding.
Although the methods they use vary, all oscillating clocks, mechanical and digital and atomic, work similarly and can be divided into analogous parts. They consist of an object that repeats the same motion over and over again, an oscillator, with a precisely constant time interval between each repetition, or 'beat'. Attached to the oscillator is a controller device, which sustains the oscillator's motion by replacing the energy it loses to friction, and converts its oscillations into a series of pulses. The pulses are then added up in a chain of some type of counters to express the time in convenient units, usually seconds, minutes, hours, etc. Then finally some kind of indicator displays the result in a human-readable form.
Since clocks must run continuously, there is often a small secondary power source to keep the clock going temporarily during interruptions in the main power. In old mechanical clocks, a maintaining power spring provided force to turn the clock's wheels while the mainspring was being wound up. In quartz clocks a backup battery or capacitor is often included to keep the clock going if the power cord is unplugged.
The advantage of a harmonic oscillator over other forms of oscillator is that it employs resonance to vibrate at a precise natural resonant frequency or 'beat' dependent only on its physical characteristics, and resists vibrating at other rates. The possible precision achievable by a harmonic oscillator is measured by a parameter called its Q, or quality factor, which increases (other things being equal) with its resonant frequency. This is why there has been a long term trend toward higher frequency oscillators in clocks. Balance wheels and pendulums always include a means of adjusting the rate of the timepiece. Quartz timepieces sometimes include a rate screw that adjusts a capacitor for that purpose. Atomic clocks are primary standards, and their rate cannot be adjusted.
In mechanical clocks, the low Q of the balance wheel or pendulum oscillator made them very sensitive to the disturbing effect of the impulses of the escapement, so the escapement had a great effect on the accuracy of the clock, and many escapement designs were tried. The higher Q of resonators in electronic clocks makes them relatively insensitive to the disturbing effects of the drive power, so the driving oscillator circuit is a much less critical component.
Analog clocks usually indicate time using angles. The most common clock face uses a fixed numbered dial or dials and moving hand or hands. It usually has a circular scale of 12 hours, which can also serve as a scale of 60 minutes, and 60 seconds if the clock has a second hand. Many other styles and designs have been used throughout the years, including dials divided into 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours. The only other widely used clock face today is the 24 hour analog dial, because of the use of 24 hour time in military organizations and timetables. The 10-hour clock was briefly popular during the French Revolution, when the metric system was applied to time measurement, and an Italian 6 hour clock was developed in the 18th century, presumably to save power (a clock or watch chiming 24 times uses more power).
Another type of analog clock is the sundial, which tracks the sun continuously, registering the time by the shadow position of its gnomon. Sundials use some or part of the 24 hour analog dial. There also exist clocks which use a digital display despite having an analog mechanism—these are commonly referred to as flip clocks.
Alternative systems have been proposed. For example, the TWELV clock indicates the current hour using one of twelve colors, and indicates the minute by showing a proportion of a circular disk, similar to a moon phase.
Digital clocks display a numeric representation of time. Two numeric display formats are commonly used on digital clocks:
Most digital clocks use an LCD, LED, or VFD display; many other display technologies are used as well (cathode ray tubes, nixie tubes, etc.). After a reset, battery change or power failure, digital clocks without a backup battery or capacitor either start counting from 00:00, or stay at 00:00, often with blinking digits indicating that time needs to be set. Some newer clocks will actually reset themselves based on radio or Internet time servers that are tuned to national atomic clocks. Since the release of digital clocks in the mainstream, the use of analogue clocks has dropped dramatically.
The purpose of a clock is not always to display the time. It may also be used to control a device according to time, e.g. an alarm clock, a VCR, or a time bomb (see: counter). However, in this context, it is more appropriate to refer to it as a timer or trigger mechanism rather than strictly as a clock.
Computers depend on an accurate internal clock signal to allow synchronized processing. (A few research projects are developing CPUs based on asynchronous circuits.) Some computers also maintain time and date for all manner of operations whether these be for alarms, event initiation, or just to display the time of day. The internal computer clock is generally kept running by a small battery. Many computers will still function even if the internal clock battery is dead, but the computer clock will need to be reset each time the computer is restarted, since once power is lost, time is also lost.
This leads to the following definitions:
The recurrent, periodic process (e.g. a metronome) is an oscillator and typically generates a clock signal. Sometimes that signal alone is (confusingly) called "the clock", but sometimes "the clock" includes the counter, its indicator, and everything else supporting it.
This definition can be further improved by the consideration of successive levels of smaller and smaller error tolerances. While not all physical processes can be surveyed, the definition should be based on the set of physical processes which includes all individual physical processes which are proposed for consideration. Since atoms are so numerous and since, within current measurement tolerances they all beat in a manner such that if one is chosen as periodic then the others are all deemed to be periodic also, it follows that atomic clocks represent ideal clocks to within present measurement tolerances and in relation to all presently known physical processes. However, they are not so designated by fiat. Rather, they are designated as the current ideal clock because they are currently the best instantiation of the definition.
Use of an atomic clock in radio signal producing satellites is fundamental to the operation of GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation devices.

The Multiplex 10 is ten years old this month
Wednesday, July 1, 2015
Ten years ago this month (on July 10th, 2005, to be specific), I posted two shitty looking comics to a corner of the Stripped Books website. At that point, I had no idea what I was in for: it was a gag strip that would quickly transform into a character-based comedy where people talk about movies — not just superficially about specific movies, but about how people watch and talk about movies of all kinds. The art got a little better, too.
The Multiplex characters took on a life of their own and ultimately turned this comic into an eleven- or twelve-year "epic" about the movie theater industry in one of the most interesting periods in its hundred-year history (and also this one jerk who kinda sorta becomes a slightly better person maybe if you squint your eyes and cock your head to the side a little).
Multiplex's readership grew quickly in those first few years, thanks in very large part to a pair of guest strips on PvP and some well-placed Project Wonderful ad campaigns (thanks, Something Positive and Shortpacked!), and in the years since it has since retained a small but passionate readership that has supported me time and time again: the Patreon project of course, as well as two successful Kickstarter projects to fund two books I'm very proud of.*
Thank you for allowing me to tell this story.
Thank you for reading.
— Gordon
* Speaking of Kickstarter projects, there will be an announcement about Multiplex: Book Three… very soon.

In law enforcement, citizen services, healthcare, and other critical government functions, agencies have mandated information sharing as a top priority. However, information sharing and collaboration do not always go hand-in-hand – since the latter often demands a cultural as well as a technological component. To ease this divide and directly improve agency outcomes, new technologies are redefining the art of collaboration and rewriting what is possible. Collaboration tools such as Google Docs and SharePoint have made inroads in the government space, largely carried by the tide of agencies migrating to the cloud. For example, the USDA just adopted SharePoint as part of its cloud migration, connecting 120,000 users in 100 countries worldwide. And Google's Apps for Government, unveiled in July 2010, has already gained FISMA approval and, according to a report from Government Computer News, delivered savings of up to 60 percent for local governments. These technologies now being applied across a wide range of applications – including at fusion centers as well as military and regulatory agencies –, provide concrete examples of collaboration today and hint at the shape of things to come. Join Federal Computer Week for an informative discussion on how current technologies are redefining collaboration.
Attendees will learn:
• The benefits delivered through current collaboration technologies, including increases in productivity, connectedness, and innovation; • How to transform information-sharing initiatives into collaboration policies;• How to leverage your agency's cloud computing transitions to deliver increased performance through improved collaboration;• How to overcome security and management issues surrounding collaboration technologies and• Technologies on the horizon that will impact inter- and intra- agency collaboration.

Quick introduction to those that don't know the depths of Eric Young, he's thirty-two years old from Ontario and has been with TNA from 2004. Right moving on to why I think EY should set his eyes on another promotion if TNA continue to drop the ball with him.
Eric Young has had a variety of gimmicks he began "jobbing," comic relief with TNA but has had more serious roles along
Hey, well it's a pretty obvious answer I just wanted to praise him for what he's done right and point out something a lot are neglecting to notice. I'll begin with a brief run through of Kurt Angle's career surpassing what generations before him haven't been capable of. Gathered he's an Olympic gold medallist in my opinion he rides it too much but it works for him; I mean the gimmick has a heel, face
I've seen a lot of blogs and forum posts about this already but there's a few problems with the ideas and theories people are coming out pertaining to who he should feud with. I'll deduct who I personally believe he should feud with at the end of the blog.
CM Punk
This is highly unlikely mainly because Brock Lesnar was an unstoppable machine at one point matched by Bill
Haven't posted a blog in a while but I've been reading and the marks are still the same.
What TNA does wrong in your opinion?
- Pushing their talent you always argue as to whom deserves a push.
- Credibility claiming that TNA is no longer a credible wrestling organisation.
- Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Jeff Hardy etcetera... individuals that work in the company.
Been a while since I've blogged about anything but coming across the top 50 wrestlers of all time, and Kurt Angle's comments I'd have to say I agree... here's the list:
1. Shawn Michaels
2. The Undertaker
3. Steve Austin
4. Bret Hart
5. The Rock
6. Harley Race
7. Ricky Steamboat
8. Andre the Giant
9. Rey Mysterio
10. Roddy

http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/0...165-in-torontoAn intriguing lightweight matchup between eight-time Strikeforce veteran Pat Healy (29-16 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and undefeated Russian prospect Khabib Nurmagomedov (20-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has been added to September's UFC 165 event.
UFC officials today announced the new booking. While the bout's positioning on the evening's official lineup was not revealed, it seems destined for a main-card slot.
Featuring a pair of championship matchups, "UFC 165: Jones vs. Gustafsson" takes place Sept. 21 at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. The evening's main card airs on pay-per-view following preliminary bouts that air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on Facebook.
Man, this is an awesome fight. Really looking forward to seeing if Khabib is ready for the step up and to see his defensive grappling.

Works if you know it's limits.
First of all I think people must be made aware that an iPad has approximately a 11,600 mah battery and iPhones have approximately First of all I think people must be made aware that an iPad has approximately a 11,600 mah battery and iPhones have approximately 1440 mah batteries, while the mophie has a 6,000 mah battery. Also, battery to battery transfer of energy works best when the charging battery is lowest and gets worse as the charging battery fills up. So at most you're getting 50% charge out of an iPad and 4 charges on an iPhone. However that assumes 100% transfer which you can't get. If you want this to work best wait till your device is about 20% battery and plug it in for an hour. That should get you to about 80% + and you can do it about 7 times. If you try to go from dead to full you might get about 3 maybe 3.5 times. If you know the capacities and have realistic expectations this works great. …

Extremely handy external battery while on-the-go
A superb external battery for the iPhone and iPad. Charges at 2.1 A, so it's as fast as an iPad wall charger. The casing is metall A superb external battery for the iPhone and iPad. Charges at 2.1 A, so it's as fast as an iPad wall charger. The casing is metallic and rubber and looks expensive and sleek. It can charge two devices at the same time, and has a few lights to show the remaining charge. It's a bit bulky but fits easily into a bike saddle bag or something similar. The capacity is 6000 mAh (the highest sold by Mophie) so it should be able to charge an iPhone 3 or 4 times, and that's consistent with my experience. However, the phone needs to be in sleep mode during charging or else it'll eat up the battery capacity a lot quicker. Does not support pass-through mode. Also offered in a ruggedized waterproof version from Mophie directly, although this one tolerates splash damage. …

Goodbye battery cases!
I am so glad with this design, primarily because I wasted so much money on buying Mophie battery packs for previous generation iPh I am so glad with this design, primarily because I wasted so much money on buying Mophie battery packs for previous generation iPhones, only to see them go obselete months later and in the end giving them away to the winning bidder buying my iPhone on eBay as a bonus.
Finally - a standard model that doesn't go obselete (unless no more USB) and is capable of dual charges, meaning, charging both my iPhone and iPad (or wife's iPhone) simultaneously!
If you're in the market, DON'T buy the $20 cheaper one. It's DEFINITELY worth the extra $20 to get the model which can charge two devices at the same time rather than only one.
I deducted 1 star for battery lifespan. Why? Well, because it will get you near a full charge, but not a full charge. …

Great for iPhone, NOT for iPad

Terribl Awesome for iPhone. It recharged my 10% battery back up to 100% in about 2 hours and still has half of its power left.
Terrible for iPad. It took the charge from 10% and got up to only 32% before dying out.
Both charges were done separately, so I'm sure if I charged them both at the same time, my iPhone wouldn't have gotten a full charge. Tablets require power the Mophie can't provide. …

How do you charge the Mophie? Do you need special equipment to charge it?
- Asked by Carolynn L from Portland
- Jan 15, 2013
Best Answer:
it comes with a cable that you can plug into the same plug that an iPhone/iPad or similar device has it comes with a cable that you can plug into the same plug that an iPhone/iPad or similar device has. just as with almost all electronic devices these days from cell phones to tablets, etc, most plug 'heads' have a USB port so that you can remove the cable and insert any viable plug.
*NO plug is provided with the device. you must use your own plug from your phone or tablet, etc. This really isn't too big of a deal considering you already have one, or else you wouldn't need the portable battery pack :) an extra is nice though so that you can power 2 devices simultaneously
also, most Mophie portable battery pack devices use a cable that has a Micro-USB head on one end, and a regular USB head on the other... the micro USB connects to the device, the USB connects to a plug
charge is rather slow, but that's only because your charging 6000mAh! (mAh standing for a unit of measure for certain types of batteries, more below). for example, one brand new iPhone5 battery is 1440mAh, and you are charging something that is over 4 times that... so its basically like charging an iPhone5 four+ times lol..
however, the great thing about the Mophie chargers is that since the amperage output is higher than what you would have if you were connected to a regular electrical outlet, the device you are re-charging charges at a faster rate.
An ampere-hour or amp-hour (symbol Ah, AHr, A·h, A h) is a unit of electric charge, with sub-units milliampere-hour (mAh) and milliampere second (mAs). One ampere-hour is equal to 3600 coulombs (ampere-seconds), the electric charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere for one second.[1] The ampere-hour is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as electroplating and electrical batteries. The commonly seen milliampere-hour (mAh or mA·h) is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour (3.6 coulombs). …

Yeah, thats too hot. If you're using the stock Intel heatsink it should be around 40c - 55c - idle, and around 65c under load.
Is it the stock Intel heatsink you're using? If so check to make sure the plastic retention clips are all pressed in to secure the heatsink to the cpu.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 19:39
Posted 03 December 2012 - 19:54
No problem; check this out, it should explain in moire detail: http://www.pcstats.c...eid=2677&page=5
Make sure those 4 clips are pushed in and secure. The heatsink shouldn't wobble if it's secure.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:04
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:10
What kind of cleaning? Is it possible you disconnected the CPU fan?
Also, did you check the temps before cleaning the PC? It's possible that program is giving you bad information.
FYI, 90° is near the point where that CPU will shut itself down, so if it's really getting that hot, don't keep using it.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:15
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:25
What does SpeedFan tell you your temps are?
SpeedFan will report the RPMs of any fans connected to the motherboard fan headers. If they're just wired to the CPU, they won't show up. That said, if it's really 90°C, the CPU fan should be going much faster, somewhere in the 3000 - 4000 RPM range.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:46
Currently says CPU 63C / Core 0 70C / Core 1 69C. PC is under less load now though.
All three of those temps have a flame icon next to them, which I'm guessing is bad
Could be that the fan won't spin fast enough maybe?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:48
Posted 03 December 2012 - 20:56
Is it spinning at all?
I would expect the temps to be lower at idle even if just connected to the heatsink, without a fan, assuming your room isn't somewhere in the desert.

i had gotten a sample of this cream and used it two weeks and saw results. my lines were softer and less harsh. my 58 year old menopausal skin was hydrated and soft. i know it is alittle pricey, but a small price to pay cuz it works. i would pay even more then this for a product that works. so it is a good value. i have never wanted to use botox or fillers, let alone a surgical treatment to look younger. now i have mother nature and her plant stem cells to help me look younger.
