Hey guys
There is also an imperial (100+ IBU) IPA at Sherbrooke that I grabbed called Mikkeler 1000 IBU....yes 1000 IBU!
I can't describe how it tastes but any IPA fan will admire.
Here's a review
"The pour is a very hazy, reddish-chestnut color with a full, dense, off-white head which settles to a rocky, creamy layer and leaves lots of scattered, drippy lace. The nose is a hop bomb full of resinous pine, rustic, spicy, some herbal, faint green hops, and juicy fruit notes of peach and passionfruit. The flavor is awesome, very high bitterness but balanced by a light biscuit and toasted caramel, still the same fruit notes, very rustic, pine resins all over. The palate is nearly full, less than lively, creamy, and oily. The finish is the bitterness just overwhelming any sweetness and lingering forever, rustic and resins, green hops left on the tongue. Extreme bitterness but some just barely balancing notes with the malts and juicy fruit notes. Very well put together beer and certainly not for the faint of heart. A true hop bomb without the intense green hop notes. Very nice beer from Mikkeller."

Gay couples are less likely to have employer-sponsored health insurance than married heterosexual couples, but that may be about to change.
The historic Obergefell v. Hodges decision affirming marriage equality marks an important early step in the fight for gender equality.
The 5-4 decision ends the flood of cases challenging statewide same-sex marriage bans across the country.
Same-sex couples in Michigan may have a harder time adopting children under new laws signed by Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday that allow adoption agencies to deny anyone services based on the organization's "sincerely held" religious beliefs.
The governor's executive action is in response to the failure of the GOP-majority state legislature to pass the so-called Louisiana Marriage and Conscience Act, which would codify discrimination of LGBTQ people by those who oppose marriage equality.
At the end of Tuesday's oral arguments it wasn't clear whether Justice Kennedy would side completely with marriage equality advocates.
To a certain kind of religious conservative, this connection makes some—if not perfect—sense.
A judge ordered the Travis County Clerk to issue a marriage license to Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant, an Austin couple who have been together for nearly 31 years and who married outside the county clerk's office Thursday in the presence of friends and family.
The Roberts Court on Monday denied review of a Louisiana ban on same-sex marriage, noting the federal appeals court has yet to rule, as well as two campaign finance related challenges.
Marriage equality gains across the country have created significant divisions within the Republican Party, with right-wing activists threatening to leave the party and actively campaign against some lawmakers over their support for same-sex marriage.

Susan Sarandon Welcomes Her First Grandchild, A Girl Named MarloweBy: Pam Wright - August 11, 2014
Susan Sarandon is a grandma for the first time!
According to a rep for the actress, Eva Amurri, the daughter of Sarandon with Italian director Franco Amurri, and her husband, Kyle Martino, welcomed baby Marlow on Saturday.
"Actress Eva Amurri Martino gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Marlowe Mae Martino, weighing 6lbs 11oz, over the weekend," the rep said in a statement. "Both she and her husband, NBC sports analyst, Kyle Martino, are thrilled and enjoying the new addition to their family."
Sarandon and the proud parents all tweeted about the good news on Monday.
In February, the 29-year-old new mama announced on Twitter that she and her 33-year-old husband were expecting a baby together.
In March, Amurri announced the couple were expecting a baby girl on Whosay.
"Who run the world? GIRLS! #BabyGirlMartino," she posted.
The proud new grandma has been looking forward to the arrival of her granddaughter for some time now. In March, she still had trouble wrapping her head around the idea that an actual baby was on its way.
"I think that even when I was having a baby myself and even after I had two babies myself, that you can't even grasp the reality of it until that baby is there," Sarandon told Us Weekly.
"So even though we're very excited and the sonograms are beautiful and we've been shopping, it's still — I don't think you actually understand until there's a human being there. So we're still in that kind of state, but we're very excited."

Product description
"David Spencer has written a book full of truths a young writer will not find articulated anywhere else. Most of us in the theatre gained our "experience" by making mistakes and learning from them. David's book lets you gain the "experience" and skip the mistakes part. Anyone maneuvering the treacherous waters of musicals will find it not nearly so lonely or baffling with this remarkable volume as a companion." - Richard Maltby, Jr., Director/Lyricist, "Miss Saigon," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Baby" "Consider "The Musical Theatre Writer's Survival Guide "your new best friend in the business." - Alan Menken, Oscar recipient and Tony-Award nominee, composer, "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Beauty and the Beast" "At long last: a how-to book written by someone who actually knows how to. It hits so many nails on the head I could barely get through it for the sound of all that hammering." - Larry Gelbart, Award-winning co-librettist, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and librettist, "City of Angels" For its practitioners, musical theatre is an art, a passion, and a lifelong love. But it's also a complex landscape involving not merely principles of craft about book, music and lyrics, but also principles of collaboration, script/demo presentation, project/production development, venue, business, and - everybody's area of uncertainty - politics. In "The Musical Theatre Writer's Survival Guide," award-winning musical dramatist and teacher David Spencer provides a guide-to-the-game that helps you negotiate all those aspects of the business and more. This professional handbook will walk you through: getting your name and your projects into the hands of producers, instead of the rejection pile choosing the right producer, agent, or director, instead of surrounding yourself with people uninterested in your work and your career-or interested for the wrong reasons bringing your vision to life through stage-savvy writing, instead of watching it sputter due to flaws in craft living a happy, healthy life in musicals, instead of dying a slow, showbiz death. If you're taking your first steps, Spencer's counsel, anecdotes, and instructions will save you years of blindly stumbling about without results. Likewise, if you've been around the block a few times, "The Musical Theatre Writer's Survival Guide" can rescue you from the kinds of career-stalling traps, bad habits, and false assumptions that lead to dead ends.

Acupuncture uses needles on points along energy line to stimulate flow of energy and help your body heal itself. In addition to the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach, learn about other styles.
Choosing an acupuncturist is similar to choosing other health care providers. Make sure the person has the training and experience to treat your condition and is someone with whom you're comfortable.
Find something you enjoy and stick to it, especially when you're feeling vulnerable. If you enjoy gardening, get out and dig. If you enjoy rollerblading, get out and skate.

If the naturopath also has the MD credential then every plan will cover them. They choose to take insurance or not, all providers have to sign up with insurance plans for reimbursement. Unfortunately if they are a Doctor of Naturopathy, without other medical credentials you will have a difficult time finding coverage. An MD typically goes through 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of Medical school, 3 years of residency and then potentially 2 - 4 years of specialty training on top of that. Not many Naturopaths go through that type of education. MDs also have to work on cadavers, some other health care practitioners do this as well, but not many. Naturopaths offer valuable services. If you have a Naturopath MD in mind, then it is simple because they will have registered with insurance companies to accept payments. They will know what plans they accept payment from. As a pharmacist one of my classmates in addition to a doctorate in pharmacy also had a doctorate in that area. As a pharmacist we are also not covered by most insurance plans to have a "practice" reimbursement. We work on a fee-for-service basis or contract with specific plans or employers to offer their people our services. We work with individuals and provide their providers the information about our consults.
Some naturopaths, dieticians, pharmacists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists work within a physician practice - this is sometimes referred to as an integrated or integrative model. The fee for a naturopath is most often "fee for service." I hope this helps, best of luck finding the practitioner you are seeking.

Acupuncture Treatment reviews in Las Vegas
of the channels. After a treatment there is balance in my being; I am internally open as well as pain free.
I happen to love the office, which has no frills. It is bare bones yet carries the energy of their culture, their integrity, their simplicity and their healing. You will be in very safe hands here."
When I entered the clinic, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well organized the front reception area was. The store has very large windows and high ceilings, allowing for maximum natural lighting and a sense of calm came over me. The receptionist was very friendly and the doctor was able to see me immediately after I had checked in.
The patient room was clean and bright, and it was evident that all parts of the office was well maintained. Upon entering the patient room, the doctor asked me about my medical history and the symptoms that I was presenting at that time. He also asked about my current pregnancy and how I was doing thus far. He then explained the treatment and where the needles would be placed. Once that was completed, we moved to a patient bed and he began the needling. He was very efficient and knew exactly what he was doing. Once he positioned all the needles, I was instructed to lie like that for at least the next thirty minutes. Once the time was up, he returned, removed the needles as quickly as he put them in, and I was done.
As soon as I left, my very runny and stuffy nose felt like it had opened up and I could breathe very easily again. I felt the pressure lift off of my sinuses and no longer felt like my head was stuck inside a bucket.
I would highly recommend visiting

The cardinal could stand it no longer. Conducting the funeral service for a prominent bishop in front of pews packed with his nation's top politicians and business leaders, Polycarp Pengo, the head of the Catholic Church in Tanzania, raged against the cancer of corruption eating away at his country. He urged all decent people to join a crusade against the 'vices' of bribery and embezzlement.
He was right to be annoyed. A series of scandals have highlighted the growth of graft in Tanzania. There have been calls for Benjamin Mkapa, the globally-respected former president who was among those mourners a month ago, to be prosecuted. And in a land where more than a third of people live on less than £1 a day, an MP linked to the BAE scandal said that $1m (£630,000) found in an overseas bank account was "small change".
Like too many African countries, Tanzania has been blighted by big men who have extorted their way to obscene wealth at the expense of millions living in poverty. But like elsewhere on the continent, it also has a growing number of civic leaders, journalists and campaigners standing up to these thieves. Many are risking their lives and liberty in one of the most important battles for the future of Africa.
For too long, these brave figures have been let down by the West. Bankers, accountants and lawyers lived like pimps off immoral earnings as stolen billions were stashed in hidden accounts. And politicians turned a blind eye, even as they lectured developing nations on the need to clean up their acts.
Tony Blair swept into power promising an ethical foreign policy, with ratification of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's landmark anti-bribery convention and promises of new anti-corruption legislation. It was never enacted, despite repeated promises. Instead, in possibly the most shameful episode of his time in office, Blair gave in to threats from Saudi despots and ordered the SFO to call off its inquiry into BAE bribery allegations just as investigators were about to access Swiss bank accounts.
This came just a year after his own Commission for Africa underlined the importance of good governance and the carnage caused by corruption. In an instant Britain's outspoken stance on sleaze was made to look the height of hypocrisy, with a criminal inquiry abandoned to satisfy the wealthy customer of a high-profile company.
This was not an isolated incident. Britain hindered the recovery of huge sums looted by President Sani Abacha of Nigeria and stashed in British banks. It dragged its feet on fulfilling obligations to prosecute bribery under the OECD convention, unlike the US, France and Germany. And earlier this year the SFO called off belated investigations into a massive Kenyan corruption scandal involving front companies in Britain.
This is why yesterday's announcement is so significant – the first prosecution of a major company for overseas bribery and a chance to restore Britain's tarnished reputation. After a series of humiliations, it seems the SFO has a director prepared to turn tough talk into action. And it comes as ministers look set to introduce that much-delayed bribery Bill, with maximum sentences of 10 years in jail.
The SFO decision follows two other breakthroughs in the fight against sleaze. The managing director of a British company was given a suspended prison sentence last year for bribing a Ugandan official in the first case involving overseas corruption. And last week came the first successful prosecution of a British company when Mabey & Johnson, a construction outfit, was convicted over sleazy payments in six countries. These included allegedly putting $5,000 into the bank account of the man who is currently Madagascar's representative to the UN.
The BAE case is on a much bigger scale. And what made the Tanzanian element so depressing was that it was so brazen. The World Bank condemned the idea of one of the world's poorest nations borrowing millions to buy a radar system. The International Civil Aviation Authority said that it was not needed. The development minister, Clare Short, said that the deal "stank" – but bizarrely, Blair waved it through.
The climate is getting chillier for companies that bribe their way across the world. Siemens, the German manufacturing giant, paid about £2bn in fines and legal costs over allegations of global graft. A senior executive with Halliburton, the US engineering company, faces seven years in jail after admitting offences in Nigeria. And now BAE could get the payback it deserves if these charges are proved.
Private companies are estimated to spend more than £20bn a year on bribes to politicians and officials in developing nations. This sum is nearly twice the size of the entire Tanzanian economy and makes a mockery of our aid efforts. The courageous Cardinal Pengo called on every decent person to join his crusade against corruption. We must hope that Britain is rallying at last to his cause.

Kim Kardashian Says She'd Support North West Posing Nude in the Future
How would Kim Kardashian feel if her daughter North West wanted to emulate her mom's infamous nude photo shoot? Well, she'd be pretty supportive.
How would Kim Kardashian feel if her daughter North West wanted to emulate her mom's infamous nude photo shoot? Well, she'd be pretty supportive.
When asked about Kim Kardashian's Paper magazine cover, ex-husband Kris Humphries handled the situation with grace.
Kim Kardashian successfully "broke the internet" with her over-the-top booty-baring cover for the December 2014 issue of Paper magazine. For decades these provocative images have driven debate, so we decided to dig up the most controversial covers of all time.
Is there anyone that can take a selfie like Kim Kardashian?
Joan Rivers is not one to mince words. The comedienne and 'Fashion Police' host took aim at a tiny target – North West, the 7-month-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Rivers reportedly referred to Kimye's little girl as "ugly" during one of her stand-up gigs.
Seems that being photogenic runs in the Kardashian family. Based on some family pictures shared by Kim Kardashian, baby North West already knows how to take a good photo.
Seriously, she knows how to find the light and which side is her good side, and she can't even walk yet!
Radio professionals are always looking to add songs to their play lists that have staying power. It's safe to say that the latest from Kayne West, 'Bound 2', has NO staying power at all. It's James Franco and Seth Rogen to the rescue with a video re-creation that's bound to at least, get people talking about the song and video. They have re-made the video shot-for-shot calling it 'Bound 3' and we ask, ummmmm, why?
Oopsie! Kim Kardashian stumbled while at the family's charity garage/yard sale in Tarzana, Calif. on Sunday, Nov. 10.
Kimye don't get everything that they want! Kanye West requested Lana Del Rey to sing at his proposal to Kim Kardashian but she declined, turning him down flat.
Kimye are gettin' hitched!
North West will be beyond well-dressed. Her mom Kim Kardashian posted photos of the seriously swank baby clothes that she and Kanye West received for their little girl, born in June. We're talking Lanvin, Alexander Wang and more. Those outfits cost more than a lifetime of clothes in a family's closet.
When it was revealed that Kim Kardashian and Kayne West had named their baby girl North West, did you wonder why? Was it a cute geography thing or was it something more? Now we know the meaning behind the name.

Apparatus for driving a cholesteric liquid crystal display wherein the display includes cholesteric liquid crystals having a first planar reflective state and a second transparent focal conic state, which is respectively responsive to different applied fields. The apparatus further includes an addressing structure having rows and columns of conductors arranged so that when a column and a row overlap, they define a selectable pixel or segment to be viewable or non-viewable, and a single drive chip responsive to a single input voltage for applying selected voltages to rows and columns of conductors, so that selectable unipolar fields are applied across the cholesteric liquid crystals of the pixels to selectively change the state of the cholesteric liquid crystal.
1. Apparatus for driving a cholesteric liquid crystal display comprising:
a) the rewriteable display including cholesteric liquid crystals having a first planar reflective state and a second transparent focal conic state, which are respectively responsive to different applied fields;
b) an addressing structure having rows and columns of conductors arranged so that when a column and a row overlap, they define a selectable pixel or segment of the cholesteric liquid crystals to be viewable or non-viewable; and
c) a single drive chip responsive to a single input voltage for applying selected voltages to the rows and columns of conductors, so that selectable unipolar fields are applied across the cholesteric liquid crystals of the pixels to selectively change the state of the cholesteric liquid crystals,
wherein said single drive chip includes a voltage divider for providing one of two selectable voltages for each column and one of two selectable voltages for each row; and means for selecting one of two selectable voltages for causing the voltage divider to provide one of two selectable voltages for each column and one of the two selectable voltages for each row so that a voltage for a selectable pixel or segment causes such selectable pixel or segment to be in a transparent focal conic state or planar reflective state.
Reference is made to commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/379,776, filed Aug. 24, 1999 by Dwight J. Petruchik et al.; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/723,389, filed Nov. 28, 2000 by David M. Johnson et al.; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/851,868, filed May 9, 2001 by Stanley W. Stephenson et al.; the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to electronic drives for cholesteric liquid crystal displays.
Currently, information on flat substrates can be displayed using assembled sheets of paper carrying permanent inks or displayed on electronically modulated surfaces such as cathode ray displays or liquid crystal displays. Other sheet materials can carry magnetically written areas to carry ticketing or financial information, however magnetically written data is not visible.
Current flat panel displays use two transparent glass plates as substrates. In a typical embodiment, such as one set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,503,952, a set of electrical traces is sputtered in a pattern of parallel lines that form a first set of conductive traces. A second substrate is similarly coated with a set of traces having a transparent conductive coating. Coatings are applied and the surfaces rubbed to orient liquid crystals. The two substrates are spaced apart and the space between the two substrates is filled with a liquid crystal material. Pairs of conductors from either set are selected and energized to alter the optical transmission properties of the liquid crystal material. Such displays are expensive, and currently are limited to applications having long lifetimes.
Fabrication of flexible, electronically written display sheets using conventional nematic liquid crystal materials is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,047. A first sheet has transparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO) conductive areas and a second sheet has electrically conductive inks printed on display areas. The sheets can be thin glass, but in practice have been formed of Mylar polyester. A dispersion of liquid crystal material in a binder is coated on the first sheet, and the second sheet is bonded to the liquid crystal material. Electrical potential is applied to opposing conductive areas to operate on the liquid crystal material and expose display areas. The display uses nematic liquid crystal materials, which ceases to present an image when de-energized. Privacy windows are created from such structures using the scattering properties of polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystals. Polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystals require continuous electrical drive to remain transparent.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,437,811 discloses a light-modulating cell having a chiral nematic liquid crystal in polymeric domains contained by conventional patterned glass substrates. The chiral nematic liquid crystal has the property of being driven between a planar state reflecting a specific visible wavelength of light and a light scattering focal conic state. Chiral nematic material has the capacity of maintaining one of the given states in the absence of an electric field.
In "Liquid Crystal Dispersions", World Science, Singapore, 1995, page 408, Paul Drzaic discusses the electrical drive of cholesteric liquid crystal displays. Drzaic also states on page 29 that "The use of gelatin, however, creates a material that is too conductive for practical use in electrically addressed PDLC systems". Drzaic further states " . . . actual displays require AC signals to prevent electrochemical degradation." Subsequent patents support Drzaic's assumptions. Later patents such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,251,048, 5,644,330, and 5,748,277 all require AC fields having a net zero field for matrix cholesteric liquid crystal displays to prevent ionic damage to the display. The cited patents have display structures formed using expensive display structures and processes applicable to long life situations that require AC drive schemes.
The drive schemes require that each element be written using alternating electrical fields that provide a net zero field across the display to prevent ionic migration. AC drives require large numbers of power supplies and large numbers of switching elements per line.
Prior art electrical schemes, such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,330, require four power supplies to supply +Vc, −Vc, +VR, −VR and ground. Each line output must switch one of three voltages to each line of a matrix display. Conventional bipolar drive schemes, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,748,277, require the use of expensive analog switching elements as found in a Supertex HV204 8-Channel High Voltage Analog Switch. One analog switch is required for each voltage applied to each trace of the display. Such expensive chips prohibit low cost commercialization. Even more complex switching schemes have been proposed which increase the number of power supplies and analog switches and are disclosed in other patents, such as U.S. Pat. No. 5,748,277.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,251,048 by Doane et al., discloses a method for driving a cholesteric liquid crystal display using a single chip HD44780 CMOS dot matrix driver integrated circuit available from Hitachi America, Ltd. of Brisbane, Calif. A current model of that chip is HD66712U of the same company. The chips are used to drive nematic liquid crystal display. The Doane et al. patent discloses a method of using nematic liquid crystal drive chips to drive a chiral nematic (cholesteric) liquid crystal display. The table at the bottom of column 8 in the cited reference shows that for each positive voltage, there is an equal and opposite negative voltage for a bipolar drive. The chip for nematic systems is complex due to the use of a bipolar drive system that is also used for cholesteric displays in the Doane patent. Such drives require multiple drive voltages (V1 to V5) to write a display.
Cholesteric displays use expensive conventional flat panel display processes. Consequently, current state of the art requires bipolar voltage drive schemes for cholesteric displays to prevent ionic damage. The bipolar drives require at least two voltages and two separate semiconductor switching elements for each drive line.
Prior art for driving cholesteric liquid crystal displays has been directed towards matrix displays with large numbers of rows and columns, which require multiple drive chips. Display architecture has been directed towards multiple drive chips and power supplies and control logic. Single chip drive systems require multiple voltages that are switched to create bipolar drive schemes. Such architectures are expensive. Certain display applications require few drive lines to present information. It would be useful to drive a simple cholesteric display with a single drive chip using a simple drive method.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a drive for low cost cholesteric memory displays generated using coated polymeric dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals which overcome the problems associated with bipolar fields in liquid crystals.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a simpler, lower cost method of driving coated polymer dispersed cholesteric materials on flexible substrates.
These objects are achieved by an apparatus for driving a cholesteric liquid crystal display comprising:
a) the display including cholesteric liquid crystals having a first planar reflective state and a second transparent focal conic state, which is respectively responsive to different applied fields;
b) an addressing structure having rows and columns of conductors arranged so that when a column and a row overlap, they define a Selectable pixel or segment to be viewable or non-viewable; and
c) a single drive chip responsive to a single input voltage for applying selected voltages to rows and columns of conductors, so that selectable unipolar fields are applied across the cholesteric liquid crystals of the pixels to selectively change the state of the cholesteric liquid crystal.
The present invention makes use of unipolar drive systems for cholesteric liquid crystal displays that simplifies the drive structure and requires only a single voltage to drive such a display. Moreover, the present invention reduces the number of voltage switching elements and requirement for a complex power supply. It is a feature of the present invention that it requires only a single drive chip and a single power supply to write a display.
First patterned conductors 20 are formed over substrate 15. First patterned conductors 20 can be tin-oxide or indium-tin-oxide (ITO), with ITO being the preferred material. Typically the material of first patterned conductors 20 is sputtered as a layer over substrate 15 having a resistance of less than 250 ohms per square. The layer is then patterned to form first patterned conductors 20 in any well known manner. Alternatively, first patterned conductors 20 can be an opaque electrical conductor material such as copper, aluminum, or nickel. If first patterned conductors 20 are opaque metal, the metal can be a metal oxide to create light absorbing first patterned conductors 20. First patterned conductors 20 are formed in the conductive layer by conventional lithographic or laser etching means.
A polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30 overlays first patterned conductors 20. Polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30 includes a polymeric dispersed cholesteric liquid crystal material, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,695,682, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Application of electrical fields of various intensity and duration can drive a chiral nematic material (cholesteric) into a reflective state, to a transmissive state, or an intermediate state. These materials have the advantage of maintaining a given state indefinitely after the field is removed. Cholesteric liquid crystal materials are, for example, supplied by Merck BL112, BL118 or BL126, available from E.M. Industries of Hawthorne, N.Y.
In the preferred embodiment, polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30 is E.M. Industries' cholesteric material BL-118 dispersed in deionized photographic gelatin. The liquid crystal material is dispersed at 8% concentration in a 5% deionized gelatin aqueous solution. The mixture is dispersed to create 10-micron diameter domains of the liquid crystal in aqueous suspension. The material is coated over a patterned ITO polyester sheet to provide a 9-micron thick polymer dispersed cholesteric coating. Other organic binders such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or polyethylene oxide (PEO) can be used. Such compounds are machine coatable on equipment associated with photographic films.
Second patterned conductors 40 overlay polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30. Second patterned conductors 40 should have sufficient conductivity to carry a field across polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30. Second patterned conductors 40 can be formed in a vacuum environment using materials such as aluminum, tin, silver, platinum, carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, tin, or indium or combinations thereof. The second patterned conductors 40 are as shown in the form of a deposited layer. Oxides of said metals could be used to darken second patterned conductors 40. The metal material can be excited by energy from resistance heating, cathodic arc, electron beam, sputtering, or magnetron excitation. Tin-oxide or indium-tin oxide coatings permit second patterned conductors 40 to be transparent.
In a preferred embodiment, second patterned conductors 40 are printed conductive ink such as Electrodag 423SS screen printable electrical conductive material from Acheson Corporation. Such printed materials are finely divided graphite particles in a thermoplastic resin. The second patterned conductors 40 are formed using printed inks to reduce cost display. The use of a flexible support for substrate 15, the sputter layer laser etched to form first patterned conductors 20, machine coating polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30, and printing second patterned conductors 40 permits the fabrication of very low cost memory displays. Small displays formed using these methods can be used as electronically rewritable tags for inexpensive, limited rewrite applications.
A dielectric 42 can be printed over second patterned conductors 40 and has through vias 43 that permit interconnection between second patterned conductors 40 and conductive material that create row lines 45. Row lines 45 can be formed from the same screen printed, electrically conductive material used to form second patterned conductors 40. The connection of sets of second conductors 40 creates functional rows of electrically responsive areas.
It is advantageous to write to display 10 directly with a single drive chip 67.
In an experiment, gelatin dispersed cholesteric material dispersed and coated to the preferred embodiment was coated over ITO coated flexible substrate 15 to form polymer dispersed cholesteric layer 30. A one inch square conductive patch was printed over the gelatin dispersed cholesteric material to create a test display 10. A 20 millisecond unipolar field was switched across the material every 5 seconds to switch the state of the material between the planar and focal conic states. The gelatin dispersed cholesteric material was driven through a limited life test of 10,000 rewrites. The test patch operated with no apparent visible degradation throughout the life test. The life test was then extended to 100,000 cycles. The test display 10 continued to perform with little degradation. From this experiment, it was concluded that polymeric dispersed cholesteric materials on flexible substrates 15 with printed conductors can be intermittently driven by unipolar (DC) fields for the limited number of life cycles needed for limited-life display applications. Such displays in simple seven-segment format benefit from a drive scheme that uses a single drive chip 67. It is of further benefit that single drive chip 67 can use a single chip voltage Vsc.
A row of data is written by switching row voltage Vr from 15 volts to 90 volts. Column voltages Vc are held at either ground or 30 volts. If column voltage Vc is at 30 volts, cholesteric liquid crystal material experiences a unipolar focal conic voltage V3 and is switched into the focal conic state (FC). If column voltage is at ground state (0 volts), cholesteric liquid crystal experiences a unipolar planar voltage V3 and is switched into the planar state (P). Unwritten rows are held at bias voltage Vb when and experience either −15 and +15 volts from column voltage Vc as rows are written. The 15 volt column voltage is below disturbance voltage V1, and image data in unwritten rows are not disturbed. At the end of writing, all outputs of drive chip 67 are immediately returned to the ground state, and no fields are present on display 10. The method permits sequential row writing of a cholesteric matrix display 10 with very simple unipolar pulses that have a minimum of switched states. The drivers of single drive chip 67 can be simple source-sink semiconductor structures. Such waveforms can be generated directly by simple microprocessors with simple processing algorithms, and do not require complex switching logic required to generate bipolar fields on cholesteric materials.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Given a standard layout class with standard layout members such as:
struct foo {
int n;
int m;
unsigned char garbage;
will it always be safe, according to the standard, to write in the last byte of the struct without writing into the memory areas of
n and
m (but possibly writing into
garbage)? E.g.,
foo f;
*(static_cast<unsigned char *>(static_cast<void *>(&f)) + (sizeof(foo) - 1u)) = 0u;
After spending some time reading the C++11 standard, it seems to me like the answer might be yes.
From 9.2/15:
Nonstatic data members of a (non-union) class with the same access control (Clause 11) are allocated so that later members have higher addresses within a class object. The order of allocation of non-static data members with different access control is unspecified (11). Implementation alignment requirements might cause two adjacent members not to be allocated immediately after each other; so might requirements for space for managing virtual functions (10.3) and virtual base classes (10.1).
Hence, the
garbage member has a higher address than the other two members (which are stored contiguously themselves as they have standard layout), and the last byte of the struct must hence either belong to
garbage or be part of the final padding.
Is this reasoning correct? Am I meddling with the
f object lifetime here? Is writing into padding bytes a problem?
In reply to the comments, what I am trying to achieve here has to do with a variant-like class I am writing.
If proceed in a straightforward way (i.e., place an int member in the variant class to record which type is being stored), the padding will make the class almost 50% bigger than it needs to be.
What I am trying to do is to make sure that every last byte of each class type I am going to store in the variant is writable, so I can incorporate the storage flag into the raw storage (aligned raw char array) I am using in the variant. In my specific case, this eliminates most of the wasted space.
As an actual example, consider these two classes to be stored in a variant on a typical 64-bit machine:
// Small dynamic vector class storing 8-bit integers.
class first {
std::int8_t *m_ptr;
unsigned short m_size_capacity; // Size and capacity packed into a single ushort.
// Vector class with static storage.
class second {
std::int8_t m_data[15];
std::uint8_t m_size;
class variant
char m_data[...] // Properly sized and aligned for first and second.
bool m_flag; // Flag to signal which class is being stored.
The size of these two classes is 16 on my machine, the extra member needed in the variant class makes the size go to 24. If I now add the garbage byte in the end:
// Small dynamic vector class storing 8-bit integers.
class first {
std::int8_t *m_ptr;
unsigned short m_size_capacity; // Size and capacity packed into a single ushort.
unsigned char m_garbage;
// Vector class with static storage.
class second {
std::int8_t m_data[14]; // Note I lost a vector element here.
std::uint8_t m_size;
unsigned char m_garbage;
The size of both classes will still be 16, but if now I can use the last byte of each class freely I can do away with the flag member in the variant, and the final size will still be 16.

Kids on the roads
The kids in the villages and small towns use the streets to play in, please be careful as you drive there. In Dovje you might meet this group of kids as you approach Marko's "Apartments Triglav", so keep an eye out for them and give them the right of way.
The kids are Anna and Tal in front and in back Yanina, Beka and Maya. Actually we brought Anna and Tal back with us to Israel, but if you see the rest of the kids there, show them this picture, they have a copy also.
