This invention relates to a new diode pumped solid state laser which has a miniature Q-switching device in the cavity. Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF or Nd:YVO4 are useful solid state laser materials for Q-switching. A compact thermo-electric (TE)cooled diode laser unit is used as a pump source, and high-speed switching of the drive current driver is provided for the precise pump energy control. By using the variable high-speed switching pump source, the energy of each Q-switched output pulse from the laser can be controlled precisely and the usual "giant pulse" from the Q-switch can be eliminated. Also, the pulse energy can be controlled precisely independent of the repetition rate or switching speed of the Q-switch without using other feedback components. The Q-switch is synchronized to open at the end of each diode pump pulse.

The present invention relates to controlling a diode current driver and a Q-switch synchronously in order to eliminate a giant first pulse and maintain a controllable, constant energy laser output.
The principle of laser operation is stimulated emission of energy. When an electron is in an upper (i.e., excited) energy level of the laser material and a lightwave of precisely the wavelength corresponding to the energy level difference between the unexcited and excited states strikes the electron, the light stimulates the electron to move down to the lower level and emit a photon. This photon is emitted in precisely the same direction and phase with that of the incident photon. Thus, a light wave is established in the laser material, and if it can be made to travel back and forth through the laser material (also known as the gain media) it will retain its frequency and grow in amplitude as it stimulates photon emissions. This positive feedback mechanism is accomplished by a mirror placed at each end of the lasing material to reflect the traveling wave back through the laser material The rear mirror is fully reflecting, and the front mirror is partially reflecting and partially transmitting at the laser wavelength. Light reflected back and forth from the front and rear mirrors serves as positive feedback to sustain oscillation, and the light transmitted through the front mirror is the laser output light. The two mirrors are parallel and form an optical cavity that can be tuned by varying the spacing between them. The laser can operate only at those wavelengths for which a standing-wave pattern can be set up in the cavity, i.e., for which the length of the cavity is an integral number of half wavelengths.
At room temperature, the electron ground state is almost entirely occupied, and the upper energy levels are essentially unoccupied. When the upper energy level has a greater electron population than the lower level, a population inversion exists. This inverted population can support lasing since a traveling wave of the proper frequency stimulates downward transitions of the electrons with the associated energy release. The process of exciting the laser material to raise the electrons to an excited state, i.e., producing a population inversion, is referred to as pumping. Pumping can be accomplished optically with a flash lamp driven at a high frequency, by an electric discharge, by a chemical reaction, or in the case of a semiconductor laser, by injecting electrons into the upper energy level with an electric current. When a sufficient number of electrons are in an excited state, the laser energy can be released by allowing the traveling wave to exit the laser cavity.
In a typical YAG laser, the laser material comprises yttrium, aluminum, and garnet surrounded by a helical flash lamp. The front and rear mirrors are spaced apart from the laser material on the same longitudinal axis. The flash lamp is driven on and off to excite the electrons in the laser material, moving them to a higher energy level. The typical output of an optical laser consists of a series of spikes occurring during the time the laser is pumped. Spikes are created because the inverted population is being alternatively built up and depleted.
Q-switching (Q-spoiling) is a laser control technique for obtaining all the energy in a single spike of very high peak power or spreading the energy over a series of laser output pulses. As an example of the former, a typical laser generates approximately 100 mJ over an interval of 100 microseconds for an average peak power of 1000 W. The same laser can be Q-switched to emit 80 mJ in a single 10 nanosecond pulse for peak power of 8 MW. Prior art Q-switching is accomplished by alternately completely inhibiting and allowing a laser output signal. As a simple example, the Q-switch could be a mechanical shutter between the laser material and the front mirror. While the shutter is open, a laser output signal is produced. While the shutter is closed, the pumping process continues, but no laser light is emitted from the front mirror. When the shutter is closed for a relatively long time and then opened, a giant laser pulse is emitted. Further opening and closing of the shutter then produces a series of lower-power (relative to the first pulse) laser output pulses. The shutter can be driven by light-request pulses, wherein each light-request pulse opens the shutter allowing laser light to escape, but the shutter has obvious speed/frequency limitations due to its mechanical nature. As the laser pumping frequency increases, the amount of energy in the first pulse also increases relative to the steady-state laser pulse energy.
A high-peak-power pulse from a Q-switched laser is useful in optical ranging and communications and in producing nonlinear effects in materials. The series of output pulses from a Q-switched laser are useful in material heating and material removal, i.e., material scribing where a first material is deposited over a second material and each laser pulse etches away a small portion of the first material (scribes it) to produce a predetermined pattern on the second material.
One popular type of Q-switch is an acousto-optic version. In this version, a transducer constructed of lithium niobate is mounted on acousto-optic material. The transducer is driven by an RF signal that creates a grating pattern in the acousto-optic material. Laser light also impinges on the acousto-optic material such that it is perpendicular to the direction of the acoustic wave (created by the RF signal) through the acoustic-optic material. The spacing of the grating pattern depends on the frequency of the RF signal, and when the spacing reaches a certain minimum, the laser light will be deflected by the grating pattern and not passed through the acousto-optic material. Thus, there is a certain minimum RF frequency that must be used to cut-off or spoil the laser output signal. Pulses, typically referred to as light-request pulses, are provided as an input to a driver stage that controls the acousto-optic Q-switch. The pulses modulate an internally generated RF signal. During each request pulse the RF signal goes to zero; thus, the grating pattern disappears and an output signal is emitted by the laser. Between light-request pulses, when the modulated RF signal attains its normal peak-to-peak amplitude, the Q-switch is activated and there is no output signal from the laser.
In prior art acousto-optic Q-switches the driver stage responds to the request pulses by bringing the RF signal to zero during each request pulse and allowing the RF signal to attain its normal peak-to-peak amplitude between request pulses. As discussed above, this on/off control scheme creates a giant first laser output pulse when the laser has not produced an output signal for a relatively long time. This "off" time is relative with respect to the frequency of laser operation. When the Q-switched laser is to be used in its pulsed mode (where each pulse does some useful work, for instance in material scribing or heating as discussed above) the giant first pulse must be prevented from reaching the working material to avoid damaging it. Further, increasing the laser frequency to increase the efficiency of the operation is counterproductive because as the laser frequency increases the ratio of first pulse energy compared to the steady-state energy also increases. As the frequency increases and additional energy is contained in the first pulse, there may also be insufficient energy in the succeeding pulses to perform useful work. (Laser frequency is increased by increasing the amount of energy that is input to the laser to create the population inversion.)
Other types of Q-switches are well known in the art including an electro-optic Q-switch, a magneto-optic Q-switch, and a saturable organic-dye absorber Q-switch. The disadvantages associated with the production of a giant first pulse are associated with each of these Q-switch types.
Thus, it would be advantageous to limit the energy contained in the first laser pulse so that it is approximately the same as the energy in succeeding laser pulses. Accomplishing this objective also allows laser operation at a higher frequency to provide more efficient use of the laser in material heating, material scribing, or any of the other uses associated with a pulsed laser.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,872 (1987) to Popek et al. discloses a pumped laser system having a Q-switch which controls the laser output. In order to eliminate the giant pulse from the Q-switch output, adjustable Q-switch spoiling is provided at the beginning of each sequence of output pulses.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,226,051 (1993) to Chan et al. discloses a method and apparatus to control the power delivered to the laser pump in order to limit the maximum energy of any single laser pulse output as a result of Q-switching. The laser pump is driven at full strength for a selected initial refresh time and then shut off. If a Q-switch trigger signal is received during the shut-off period, then only the reduced energy stored in the laser is released. An algorithm reduces the power to a lower level sufficient to maintain the net energy stored in the laser at a predetermined value if the elapsed time reaches or exceeds the refresh time. This is the closest known prior art. The system cannot be used for widely varying time intervals between the pulses. The system cannot control the energy of each pulse; rather, it can only limit the maximum energy of each pulse.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,016,251 (1991) to D'Arcy discloses a Q-switch driver for controlling the laser output in a long-pulse mode only. A means to calculate a timing window for triggering the Q-switch is provided, wherein the Q-switch remains open during the window period. The device is limited to a narrow range of beam intensities and not appropriate for general purposes.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,018,152 (1991) to Linne et al. discloses a Q-switched laser having a detector to sense the population inversion using the fluorescence signal and then via a feedback loop to generate the energy control signal. As the switching rate of the Q-switch is varied, the energy control signal via the feedback signal is varied to ensure a constant level of population inversion between each pulse. The device attempts to provide a pre-specified pulse energy for each pulse independent of the switching rate of the Q-switch. Drawbacks to this approach include the requirement for extra devices and circuits to measure the energy and produce the feedback signal. Also, calibration problems add costs to the mass production of such devices.
All of the above approaches allow the gain media to be excited to a rather uncontrollable state and then to attempt to release small controllable bursts of energy. Only Chan attempts to control and maintain the gain media in an energy state which is useful for producing a steady energy level output.
The present invention recognizes that known gain media materials including Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4 have corresponding fluorescent lifetimes. These lifetimes are respectively 230 microseconds, 480 microseconds, and 90 microseconds. The present invention models the diode current driver to pulse the gain media with a pulse width as short as 20% of the fluorescent lifetime. The result is controlling the gain media in a useful range of excitation at all times. In order to provide a steady energy laser output, the Q-switch is synchronized to open at the end of each drive pulse to the diode current driver.
The main aspect of the present invention is to provide a steady energy laser output by modulating the output of the diode current driver and synchronously opening the Q-switch at the end of each drive pulse to the diode current driver.
Another aspect of the present invention is to maintain the gain media at a useful energy level by providing a pulse width to the diode pump as short as 20% of the fluorescent lifetime of the gain media such as a minimum pulse width of 20 microseconds to be used with Nd:YVO4 which has a fluorescent lifetime of 90 microseconds.
Another aspect of the present invention is to utilize either an internal variable pulse generator or any external incoming pulse to turn on the diode laser driver.
Another aspect of the present invention is to control the laser pulse energy precisely and independent of the repetition rate or switching speed of the Q-switch without using a feedback loop.
Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an independent "high" and "low" controllable value for the diode current driver to execute.
Another aspect of the present invention is to set the low output of the diode current driver at a threshold for the device such as 4 to 5 amps, and then set the high value up to its maximum such as 40 amps.
Another aspect of the present invention is to control the pump pulses to short intervals of 10 microseconds or less.
Other aspects of this invention will appear from the following description and appended claims, reference being made to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several views.
The preferred embodiment uses a Nd:YVO4 gain media and a high power diode current driver capable of delivering 100 watts of power maximum. A digital to analog board provides a separate high and low power output drive pulse to the diode current driver with a maximum 10 volts compliance voltage. A pulse forming board is built into the diode laser controller which is commercially produced by Rocky Mountain Instrument Company, (RMI) Longmont, Colo., and trademarked the "IQ-4000". The pulse-forming board also includes an external pulse input and a pulse source select switch. An outside computer (PC) supplies the Q-switch gate signal synchronously at the end of each drive pulse to the diode current driver. Software onboard the PC times the Q-switch gate signal at the end of each drive pulse. With the above system an Nd:YVO4 laser is controlled with no giant first pulses to these specifications:
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the theory of operation for controlling the gain media at a constant usable energy level.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the laser system in its commercially available preferred embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a logic flow chart of the inventive method disclosed herein.
FIG. 4 is a schematic of the system components shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a timing chart showing the operation of the inventive method.
FIG. 6 is a pair of graphs showing the relationships of actual test data for the power per pulse and Q-switch pulse width.
FIG. 7 is a graph of the actual test data for the Nd:YVO4 laser showing the diode output power vs. the laser output.
FIG. 8 is a graph showing the relationship expected from a Nd:YVO4 laser in energy per pulse vs. cycle time.
FIG. 9 is a front plan view of the IQ-4000 Universal Diode Laser Controller and specifications.
Before explaining the disclosed embodiment of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the particular arrangement shown, since the invention is capable of other embodiments. Also, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
Referring first to FIG. 1 the graph 1 entitled "constant pulse height" shows the theoretical approach to varying the diode pump output pulse width Tp in order to control the energy in the gain media indicated at its maximum to be area 10. Area 10 represents for a particular gain media such as Nd:YVO4 the maximum energy achievable by a single power pulse from the diode pump. The present invention can produce the maximum diode pump current output I max. In order to control the laser power output, the pulse width of the diode pump output is varied to a desired width Tp. The present invention supplies electronic circuitry to produce a value of Tp in the range of 20 microseconds or larger. The area 10 equals the maximum energy Emax, wherein; Emax=(Tmax) (Imax). Therefore, a setpoint energy Esp is calculated as
For practical circuit design considerations, it is preferable to provide in the diode current driver a pulse width of no more than 20% of the fluorescent lifetime of the gain media. For a Nd:YVO4 laser having a fluorescent lifetime of 90 microseconds this equates to a pulse width of 20 microseconds or less. The present invention achieves a minimum 20 microseconds pulse width.
Referring to FIG. 1 graph 2 entitled "constant pulse width" the area 10 is the same. The method to control the maximum per pulse laser energy 10 now holds the pulse width constant at Tmax. The current output from the diode pump is held at least to a threshold value for the diode pump of Ith. The desired setpoint energy is computed as
In each of the above methods of energy control, the Q-switch is synchronously tied to open at the end of each diode pump pulse.
Referring next to FIG. 2 the laser system 20 is the preferred embodiment. The laser system 20 has a PC 21 which contains a synch card 26 for controlling the triggering of the Q-switch after each diode pump pulse. The Cyber Research of Branford, Conn., Model CYPDMA32 digital I/O board is used herein in a Microsoft Windows� environment. The Pc input/output connections 22 connect to the diode laser controller 23 (commercially trademarked as the IQ-4000). The diode laser controller 23 powers the diode 24 which pumps the laser 25.
Referring next to FIG. 3 the inventive method comprises:
(30) Determining a desired laser output energy;
(31) Calculating a required diode pumping power from a pumping diode to produce the desired laser output;
(32) Generating a drive pulse (FIG. 5, graph A) required to produce the required diode pumping power;
(33) Producing a required diode pumping power as a diode drive current (FIG. 5, graph B) and applying said diode drive current to the pumping diode; and
(34) Generating a synchronized Q-switch gate signal (FIG. 5, graph C) at an end of each drive pulse.
It is noted that the timing between the end of drive pulse A and the start of Q-switch gate signal C can be a few hundred nanoseconds either way because of the delay of the laser output pulse (FIG. 5, graph D) after the start of gate signal C. Steps 32, 33, 34 above are herein characterized as a "logic module".
Referring next to FIG. 4 the laser system 20 comprises the laser 25 which as a Q-switch 28 and a Q-switch driver 27. The thermo-electric cooling unit 29 cools the laser 25. In the preferred embodiment, the Q-switch driver is a model A201 manufactured by Gouch & Housego Ltd., England, and the Q-switch is a Gouch Model QS 080-2G. The laser is a Rocky Mountain Instrument Company (RMI), Longmont, Colo., Model No. NL-300 IR. The diode laser controller 23 is RMI's Model No. IQ-4000. The diode laser controller 23 has a D/A board 41 which provides the desired low and high level control signals to the switching board 42. The pulse-forming board 40 offers the user a choice of selecting either an external pulse input 43 or the internal pulse generator input 44 via the pulse source select switch 45. Alternatively, the user may select the computer 21 pulse generator (not shown). The desired switching pulse 47 controls the drive pulse A (FIG. 5). The diode current driver 46 has a 400 watt power maximum at 10 volts/40 amps.
The diode drive current B (FIG. 5) drives the diode 24 which pumps the laser 25. The Q-switch gate signal C is controlled by the computer 21 to result in the laser output D (FIG. 5).
Referring net to FIG. 5, it can be seen that each laser output pulse amplitude a1, a2, a3 corresponds to its parent drive pulse amplitude p1, p2, p3.
Especially for the laser material processing or medical laser applications, it is very important to control the pulse energy coming out from the Q-switched laser. If we use a flash lamp as a pumping source for the solid-state laser, it is known we cannot decrease the rise time of the flash lamp current below some value (approximately 100 microseconds) to prevent the acceleration of electrode erosion and wall vaporization which affect the lamp lifetime. So it is not practical to design the pump circuit for the flash lamp which can supply the pump pulse width below 200 microseconds for the laser of average output over a few watts.
The present invention aims at solving the above described problems accompanying the conventional methods, and makes it an object to provide a new compact Q-switched solid state laser which uses a compact diode laser as a pump source.
In order to accomplish the above objective, the method and apparatus described above provides a diode driver/controller with either CW or pulse pumping capability. The internal variable pulse generator or any external incoming pulse can be used to turn on the diode laser driver and can supply a predetermined current to the diode laser during the "on" time of the controlling pulse as shown in FIG. 4. The minimum width of this pulse can be five microseconds, and the maximum is not limited so that the width can be controlled linearly with high accuracy. The pump power can be controlled precisely in this way, and the Q-switch pulse can be applied at the end of the pumping pulse (FIG. 5).
The laser material can be Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4 or other similar materials. The typical value of fluorescent lifetime of these materials are 230 microseconds, 480 microseconds' and 90 microseconds respectively. So the pump source must be able to provide pulse width of minimum 20 microseconds to be used with Nd:YVO4 since the sum of the rising and falling time should not be more than the 20% of the fluorescent lifetime to control the pump energy with practical accuracy. The laser can be powered in three different ways:
In either case the Q-switch can be operated separately. The actual energy per pulse can be set by the value of pulse width/height of the pump pulse as well as changing the CW pump level. The "Lo" value of the drive current setting provides flexibility of this driver design for the Q-switched laser since it is possible to set the "Lo" value approximately at the threshold value of the laser and to switch the current to the "Hi" value to get the laser output. This allows the exact energy control of the output laser pulse. Also a "waveform generation" feature allows more flexibility in operating the laser in the pulse mode.
Referring next to FIGS. 6 and 7 the data represented is experimental data taken from the preferred embodiment. In FIG. 7 Laser Output vs. Pumping Power graph of actual data shows the laser output 70 to be almost linearly related to the diode pump power in. FIG. 8 shows an actual typical approximation of energy per pulse vs. frequency for a Nd:YVO4 laser.
FIG. 9 is an excerpt from the specification sheet of the IQ-4000 showing the front plan view of the device.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, numerous modifications and variations can be made and still the result will come within the scope of the invention. No limitation with respect to the specific embodiments disclosed herein is intended or should be inferred.

Israel's Navy intercepted an activist ship in the waters off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
One of the little-noticed findings of the U.N. commission on possible Gaza war crimes is the panel's strong criticism of Israel's move to close the books on its military's killing of four Palestinian boys on a beach.
A ship carrying some 70 pro-Palestinian activists, including an Israeli-Arab lawmaker, set sail from Crete to Gaza.
A flotilla of boats planning to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip left a Greek port.
The Obama administration opposes any Security Council consideration of a United Nations report on last summer's war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Militants in the Gaza Strip launched a rocket at Israel on Tuesday which landed in open ground near a community close to the Palestinian enclave and Israel hit back at the launching site, the Israeli army said.
Anticipating what they believed would be an unfair U.N. report on last summer's Gaza War, the Israeli government and friendly groups in the United States were ready with at least three reports they say better reflects the reality of the five-week battle between Israel and Hamas.
Mary McGowan Davis, the American judge who led the independent United Nations probe into the events of last summer's war in Gaza, said the main message committee members wanted to transmit is that Israel must reexamine its policy of using its military might against civilians, because it led to unprecedented destruction in Gaza and to the killing of about 1,500 innocents.
Israel denounced the U.N. report on possible Gaza war crimes as biased before the ink was even dry. J.J. Goldberg writes that the 183-page document asks serious questions — and we all deserve answers.
A trawler from Italy was the first of three vessels to leave port in a bid to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Over 750 victims have sued The Rockefeller Foundation, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Johns Hopkins University, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation, alleging that they were the driving force behind human experiments in which vulnerable populations of Guatemalans were deceived and intentionally exposed to syphilis, gonorrhea and other venereal diseases and pathogens, without giving any informed consent. The experiments targeted school children, orphans, psychiatric hospital patients, prison inmates and military conscripts. The Obama Administration apologized to Guatemala for the Guatemala Experiments in 2010. The Administration tasked the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to investigate the experiments. The details of the experiments were deliberately hidden from the world, and remained so until the Commission published its report in September 2011, confirming that barbaric human experiments constituting human rights violations occurred, for example: prostitutes were infected with venereal disease and then provided for sex to subjects for intentional transmission of the disease; subjects were inoculated by injection of syphilis spirochetes into the spinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, under the skin, and on mucous membranes; an emulsion containing syphilis or gonorrhea was spread under the foreskin of the penis in male subjects; the penis of male subjects was scraped or scarified and then coated with the emulsion containing syphilis or gonorrhea; a woman from the psychiatric hospital was injected with syphilis, developed skin lesions and wasting, and then had gonorrheal pus from a male subject injected into both of her eyes. Many of the Guatemalans developed venereal disease. Most were never treated. Researchers subjected the Guatemalans to repeated blood draws, lumbar punctures and cisternal punctures of the suboccipital portion of the brain, gynecological examinations, touching and penetration of sexual organs, and forced or coerced sexual contact. Key Rockefeller and Johns Hopkins researchers involved in the Guatemala Experiments, were also behind the now infamous Tuskegee experiments, in which 600 impoverished African-American sharecroppers were never informed they had syphilis, and were given placebos rather than real medicine. The researchers watched while the experiment subjects wasted away and infected their wives and children with the disease. The Tuskegee experiments were halted after being exposed by a whistleblower. The Guatemala victims have also sued Bristol-Myers Squibb, which supplied penicillin necessary for the Guatemala Experiments. The case has been filed in the Circuit Court in Baltimore City, Maryland. The victims are represented by three law firms: Meridian 361 International Law Group, PLLC of Portland, Maine; Escritorio Juridico Rodriguez Fajardo y Asociados of Caracas, Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela; and Salsbury, Clements, Bekman, Marder & Adkins of Baltimore, Maryland.
The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation Presents at 2014 Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference, Jun-18-2014 11:55 AM. Venue: InterContinental Hotel Boston, 510 Atlantic Avenu, Boston, MA 02210, United States. Speakers: Peter Pronovost.
Stuart Erdman, whose career as a finance leader at The Johns Hopkins Health System spans more than 32 years, has announced plans to retire at the end of 2013. Erdman is assistant treasurer and senior director of finance for the health system, where he oversees capital financing, cash management and compliance with Medicare and Medicaid reporting requirements. In addition to his finance leadership at Johns Hopkins, Erdman has served as president of the Healthcare Financial Management Association and as board chairman of the Helping Up Mission (HUM). After he retires on Dec. 31, 2013, Erdman will continue to be a resource to Johns Hopkins leaders on a limited basis to provide financial advice on capital planning, debt financing and rate regulation issues. Erdman's operational responsibilities will be assumed by Tom Trzcinski, director of treasury services, and Ed Beranek, director of regulatory compliance. Both will become senior directors. Beranek is responsible for the hospital system's revenue budget and all regulatory matters involving the HSCRC. He represents the health system on several Maryland Hospital Association work groups and task forces of the HSCRC. Over the course of his 20-plus years in health care, Beranek has served in various analyst and managerial roles, both in the hospital setting as well as in consulting. Trzcinski currently serves as a member of the Investment Committee of the United Way of Central Maryland and is on the board of directors of numerous local foundations.

Comments about M7RX:
If you are looking for a compact torch that is more than just a "torch" then don't look any further. This little beast has a massive light output for such a small flashlight, I was more than impressed. The build quality is excellent and it feels great In the hand with decent weight and size. I use it in the fire service and it out preforms all the personal lights we are given. I take it with me to every job and I know that I can rely on it to do the work. Personally I can't fault it because this torch really is a great piece of kit. So happy I bought it. With the added extras such as SOS and Blink lighting functions, it's a all in one package for someone in the public service industry.

The Spice Merchant's Arancini
March 18th 2015By Alessandra Rovati
Arancini ("little oranges") are one of the most beloved examples of Southern Italian "street food". Perfect to recycle risotto leftovers, they consist of meat- or cheese-stuffed rice balls coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried. Arancini are very similar to a specialty found in Naples and Rome, suppli' – more elongated tomato risotto croquettes filled with mozzarella. Arancini are said to have originated in 10th century Sicily, which at the time was under Arab rule ( an experience which is still reflected in the island's food, particularly the decadent desserts). So I thought it would be fun to combine them with another famous Sicilian dish, Caponata (now available ready made from Sabra) which, like the saffron, highlights a different influence on the Sicilian cuisine, that of Spain. Add some cumin, mint, and a the unique rich flavor of lamb, and you have a dish that is at the same time authentically Italian and reminiscent of North Africa and the Middle East. Buon appetito!
Sticky Ginger and Honey Basted Lamb Ribs
August 23rd 2013By The Kosher Butcher's Wife
It's taken years but I've finally accepted that I will never get a brisket for Rosh Hashanah, they're for the customers and that's it! I've had one quietly tucked away for 2 months in my freezer but I know 3 days before Yomtov my husband's going to say "Shar have you got a brisket hidden anywhere?" So I've learnt, they're never short of lamb breasts, so it's always Sticky ginger-and-honey basted lamb ribs for Rosh Hashanah.

Seder Plate Salad
March 3rd 2015By Paula Shoyer
This is my version of a French Niçoise salad. I make it with lamb instead of tuna, and it contains the ritual components of the Seder plate and table. The dressing is made from kosher sweet wine and maror (the bitter herb, in this case, white horseradish), creating a creamy pink dressing. This salad also makes a nice lunch or light dinner during chol hamoed, the nonholiday days of Passover.

Maqluba – Up Side Down (Chicken & Rice)
November 7th 2011By Tamar Genger MA, RD
This is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that I read about and had to try. It works great for Friday night and even for leftovers. It does take a bit of work, but is easier than it sounds. I made it with chicken, but it can be made with meat or lamb and would be amazing.
Lamb Shawarma with Pomegranate Mint Salsa
January 28th 2015By Jenna Short
If you don't like lamb or can't find it at your local grocery store, try this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken or turkey breasts. If you like, serve the shawarma with flatbread, though be sure to check the ingredient statement for allergens.

June 26th 2015By Sina Mizrahi
Kibbeh comes in all forms, but most feature bulgur and meat. This version is adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's where the kibbeh is turned into a pie, making it much easier to make. Serve warm covered in Sabra Tahini.

An interview with "Amy" director Asif Kapadia and producer James Gay-Rees.
Altman shot "Images" (1972) in Ireland during the wet autumn months of 1971, and premiered it the following May at Cannes. It won Susannah York the award for best actress (it's the role she's most proud of), but left its Cannes audiences mostly confused. It isn't the sort of film you feel affectionate about. It's complex and cold, although not nearly as hard to understand as some of the first reviews suggested.
Columbia picked up the distribution rights (Altman was a hot property in 1971) and entered "Images" in the New York Film Festival. Inexplicably, neither of the two principal film critics for the New York Times (Vincent Canby and Roger Greenspan) chose to review it, and it was dismissed in a blistering and largely unperceptive review by Howard Thompson ("a mishmash"). And that was that. The film never achieved a normal commercial release in America. It had its Chicago-area premiere last February at Northwestern University and its first theatrical 35mm showing last weekend at the Biograph. It undoubtedly will return in one or another repertory series.
It is, first of all, an intelligently constructed and spectacularly well-photographed film. We admire its gifts even though they tend not to involve us. It tells the story of several days in the life of the young wife (Susannah York) of a very wealthy member of the horsy set (played by Rene Auberjonois of the Altman stock company). She's cracking up and by the film's end, she will have committed murder.
She hears sounds; she hallucinates; she's trapped in a web of sexual guilt, and imagines encounters with two men other than her husband. One is a sinister Frenchman with whom she committed adultery. He died in an airplane crash three years earlier, but keeps turning up in doorways and pantries, mocking her. He finally invites her to exorcise his ghost by shooting him, and she does so. She sees him fall dead, but all she's shot is her husband's expensive camera.
The other man's more real. He's a neighbor who can't keep his hands off her, who believes she has rape fantasies and needs strong handling. She is perhaps attracted to him, but also repelled and guilt-ridden. And she's fond of the man's 12 year-old daughter, She eventually "kills" the neighbor, too stabs him with a kitchen knife - and Altman gives us a chilling sequence in which we're asked to decide if she stabbed the neighbor or simply his apparition in her mind.
Her husband never quite understands the nature of her mental horror. He's a simple, jolly transplanted American who seems arrested at the prep-school stage and is addicted to dumb jokes. What does she feel about him? The film gives us some pointed notions in its last 20 minutes, while she's trying to kill off an apparition she sees (incorrectly) as her other self.
"Images" is a very atypical Altman film. For one thing, the dialog doesn't overlap, and the visual style is more lyrical at some times, more jagged at others, than his usual approach of sticking his cinematic nose here and there and rummaging about in his plot. The photography is by Vilmos Zsigmond, who does a skillful job of staying within the woman's point of view while nevertheless suggesting what's really going on. There's an especially good use of images to suggest her confusion over time and real events. Some of the moments of deja-vu remind us of "Don't Look Now" (which the Biograph had the good sense to put on the same double bill).
"Images" is a film Altman admirers should make a point of seeing. Its very differences with most of his work help illuminate his style, and he demonstrates superb skill at something he's supposed to be weak at: telling a well-constructed narrative. It also shows him in inventive collaboration with Miss York, whose children's book about unicorns is read on the sound track and supplies her character with an alternate fantasy universe in which strange creatures and quaint legends replace the challenges of real life. But the movie, as I've suggested, inspires admiration rather than involvement. It's a technical success but not quite an emotional one.

There are many things in life that most individuals simply accept. Taxation is a pain when you are being taxed on a daily basis for every financial transaction you make, including earning money. Death is inevitable regardless of your efforts in life to expand your life span. As age progresses a person will have to accept the reality that back pain will become a daily hassle that every individual will experience.
While the first two are truly inevitable, there are solutions for a person who is not satisfied with the acceptance of experiencing back pain for the remainder of their older years. For the person who chooses back pain relief over blind acceptance there are certain steps you should take to help strengthen your back pain relief efforts.
The first step to back relief starts with identifying the source of your back pain. It may be hard to believe but the human body does not start aching due to age. It is the constant habits that are poor for an individual that cause back pain. This is why when a person has a professional aid them in back pain relief, like a chiropractor, the results are often only short term.
These short term back pain relief results are caused by only fixing the immediate pain problem and not discovering the source of why your back pain exists in the first place. When you are looking to accomplish back pain relief through the identification of your back pain source, it is essential that you first gain the knowledge of what causes back pain to begin with. Whether it is the way you sleep, the way you walk or the career path you chose, the greater your knowledge the sooner you can achieve back pain relief.
Once you have discovered the major habits or traits you possess which causes your back to constantly be in pain, the next step is immediate back pain relief. For the person who only has minor back pain this back pain relief may come in the form of simple stretching and light exercise.
For the person who has more extreme back pain their best solution to obtain back pain relief may be through the services of a professional, such as a chiropractor. Identifying the habits or traits you have represent a strong step in discovering long term back pain relief, but for the immediate time finding short term back pain relief can assist you in your struggle to change.
Knowledge is the best weapon for a person who has made the decision to seek permanent back pain relief. To discover your greatest resource of information specializing in the identification and utilization of back pain relief visit http://www.back-pain-advisor.com

I was wondering if CSS Media Queries can be used to detect whether a device can load a particular font format (TTF or WOFF, not just any @Font-Face). I'm not looking to check for screen size and then load a particular font based on the screen size. Thank you for any help, suggestions, a better way to word this to continue my searches.
Update: I was told that this is not an option: {font: 60px/68px 'ArnoProBoldTTF', 'ArnoProBoldWoff';letter-spacing: 0;}
Where it tries to load the first font and then if it cannot, goes to the 2nd one.

BBS Graduate Degree Requirements
BBS Graduate Student Handbook
The Cornell system of graduate education is based on graduate fields and the special committee system. Graduate fields are defined as voluntary groupings of faculty around a research area. The special committee consists of a group of faculty members a student picks to work with during their coursework and research. The special committee chair will be a member of the graduate field the student was accepted into, other members of the special committee can be drawn from nearly 1,800 graduate faculty at Cornell.
The BBS Graduate Program offers PhD. degrees in the following 5 graduate fields:
Incoming first year students conduct three laboratory rotations. These rotations are designed to:
The three major Graduate School requirements for the PhD degree are registration units, examinations, and the thesis or dissertation.
Registration Units
One registration unit (RU) corresponds to the satisfactory completion of one academic semester of full-time study and research. Six registration units are the minimum requirement for the PhD degree; two of these must be earned after the A-exam.
Examination for Admission to PhD Candidacy ("A-Exam")
A student is admitted to doctoral candidacy after passing a comprehensive examination administered by his or her special committee. This examination is either oral or written and oral, as determined by the special committee. The passing of this examination certifies that the student is eligible to present a dissertation to the graduate faculty. The A-Exam may be taken after two registration units have been accumulated in a PhD degree program. Complete the Schedule for Admission to Candidacy (A-Exam) form and submit to the Office of Graduate Education two weeks prior to your exam. You will need to bring the A-Exam results form to your A exam, this form must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Education within three business days of your exam (we will then send your results from via PDF to the graduate school).
Final Examination for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Degree ("B-Exam")
A doctoral candidate takes the final examination upon completion of all requirements for the degree, but no earlier than one month before completion of the minimum registration unit requirement. A minimum of two registration units must be earned between passing the A-Exam and scheduling the B-Exam. This oral exam covers the general subject of the dissertation. Complete the Schedule the B Examination form and submit to the Office of Graduate Education two weeks prior to your exam. You will need to bring the B-Exam results form to your B-Exam, this form must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Education within three business days of your exam (we will then send your results from via PDF to the graduate school).
Thesis or Dissertation
Requirements for Thesis/Dissertation
PhD degree students must present a dissertation - including an abstract not to exceed 350 words, signed by the special committee chair - acceptable in scholarship and literary quality. Acceptance of the thesis or dissertation requires the approval of all the special committee members. Ordinarily, the thesis or dissertation is written in the student's major subject of study and under the direction of the chair of the special committee. With the approval of the committee, a student may elect to write the thesis or dissertation under the direction of the representative of a minor subject. Please utilize Graduation Manager to upload your dissertation

It would be nice if they gave some indication of its size. Baseball? Basketball? I can't tell from the picture.
Or people could make their own blackboard globe using a cheap regular globe and spray-on blackboard paint.
Why not leave it out for your more prurient friends, as well? I'd bet that their continents have more peninsulas.
cheers Joel,
That's my travel agent brother's Christmas bought.
The only place I'd seen a chalkboard globe mentioned before was in a description of an 18th or 19th century math classroom, for use in teaching spherical trigonometry. Very cool find!
