Publisher's Description
Dr. Sproul begins by discussing how not to pray, drawing from Jesus' own prefatory comments to the disciples. The Lord gave a vivid and specific example of hypocritical, repetitive, pagan praying by people and then said, "Therefore, do not be like them . . ." Sproul answers the question of whether prayer changes things, whether prayer changes God's mind. As he begins to dissect the prayer itself, he handles each phrase with depth and clarity. The biblical doctrine of adoption ("Our Father"), the veneration of God's person ("hallowed be Thy name"), and the manifestation of His authority ("Thy kingdom come") are explained. Chapter 5 answers questions about the nature of God's will, drawing not only from the prayer of the Lord in Luke 11, but also from the prayer of the Lord in Gethsemane found in Luke 22. Throughout this short book Sproul answers questions that come to mind from any serious thinking about Jesus' teaching on prayer: What is the relationship between God's provision and our labor? What is the nature of man's indebtedness to God? What is the most frightening line in the Lord's Prayer? In his analysis, Sproul believes that the concluding lines of the Lord's Prayer are the most important -- and surprisingly, the least taught. He ends the discussion of the text with an affirmation of the eternal kingdom, power and glory of God.
The final two chapters of the book deal with questions and answers, and a longer treatment of the purpose of prayer in light of God's sovereignty. R. C. Sproul excels at encouraging Christians to think more deeply about biblical truth than they thought possible. The Prayer of the Lord is an immensely helpful and practical resource for any who desire a richer, more biblically informed life of prayer. Pamela Glass, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"The colors are vibrant just like on the screen. The paper quality is nice. They came before the date expected. Very satisfied."
"I fell in love with this card once I received the "sample" copy I knew I had to get it and that it would work perfectly with my theme. I added my touches to it and they turned out GREAT, atleast thats what all my friends & family have told me. The printing on the back could have been a tad clearer however it might have been the quality of photo I provided ."
"I was very happy when I received these because the invitations were more of a quality card stock rather than cheap paper. You will need to play around with fonts to ensure that the size will be big enough for readers see. My return address labels were very hard to read because the font was so small! There were few options. But I felt the color on the screen was true to what was on paper. I ordered the pink background."
"The quality is perfect and makes a wonderful presentation The watercolor design is elegant and warm. I am so happy with these invitations. Thank you."

There is a whiff of hockey nostalgia in the air. Four of National Hockey League's "Original Six" franchises are in the second round of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, the Boston Bruins, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Rangers. The other two "originals", the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs were knocked out in the first round.
The Boston-New York Rangers playoff series will bring up memories of a different era. Both "Original Six" teams were hampered by the Norris family running the franchise's arenas back in the glory days. The New York Rangers franchise was not even on par with the circus - the Norris family kicked out the Rangers during playoff season in the 1950s - as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was far more valuable to the Norris's bottom line than a Rangers playoff game. New York played playoff "home" games in Toronto.
The National Hockey League expansion of 1967 came after great debate within the league. The NHL actually had more than six teams prior to 1942 with teams coming and going throughout the 1930s. The Depression knocked out some teams and the league was down to eight teams by the late 1930s representing six cities, the Montreal Canadiens and Maroons, the New York Americans and Rangers, the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Maroons left in 1938 and the Americans "temporarily" suspended operations in 1942. Red Dutton's Americans franchise was sharing Madison Square Garden with the Rangers and changed the team name to the Brooklyn Americans with the idea of getting a building in the boro and rejoining the league after World War II.
The NHL never did play in Brooklyn, although that will change on September 21st, when the New York Islanders host the New Jersey Devils in a pre-season game. The Uniondale, New York-based Islanders will permanently move to Brooklyn by 2015 although that could be moved up a year. Brooklyn will finally get a team, some 70 years after Dutton envisioned an NHL franchise in the boro.
The NHL and Madison Square Garden forgot about Red Dutton and the Americans, but the Original Six almost became seven after World War II. There was also some interest from Philadelphia investors who wanted to move the "retired" Maroons franchise to the United States third largest market; but, Philadelphia didnt have a suitable hockey arena.
In the mid 1950s, Cleveland's American Hockey League team, the Barons decided to "challenge" for the Stanley Cup and join the league. They didn't.
The National Hockey League had numerous American franchises in the 1920s and 1930s. The Boston Bruins joined the league in 1924 and the Montreal Maroons also entered the NHL that year. The New York Americans franchise started out in the 19th century as a Quebec City team and were named the Quebec Bulldogs in 1909. Quebec did not have a team in 1910 after the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Shamrocks bolted from the Canadian Hockey Association for the National Hockey Association. Quebec joined the NHA in 1910 and by 1917, the Quebec Bulldogs were a charter NHL franchise but financial difficulties kept the team of the ice until 1919-20. The team moved to Hamilton, Ontario in 1920 and to New York in 1925, proceeding the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden by a year. Hamilton moved to New York after Tiger players staged a strike when they asked for and were denied $200 a man to play in the playoffs. Hamilton was disqualified from the playoffs and eventually Dwyer purchased the team for $75,000. The Pittsburgh Pirates also entered the NHL in 1925.
The Rangers came into being after Madison Square Garden president Colonel John S. Hammond was convinced by promoter Tex Rickard that the facility should own a team instead of renting the building to William V. Dryer, a notorious bootlegger during Prohibition. The Americans franchise was a huge success. The Rangers eventually would drive the Americans out of business. The Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Cougars (who would be renamed the Detroit Falcons and Red Wings) came in with the Rangers, and the NHL had ten teams with the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Maroons, New York Americans, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs in the Canadian Division and Boston Bruins, Chicago, Detroit, the Rangers and Pittsburgh in the American Division.
Pittsburgh moved to Philadelphia in 1930 and changed names to the Quakers, the team would fold in 1931. Ottawa suspended operations in 1931-32, came back in 1932 and moved to St. Louis in 1934. The Eagles would fold in 1935. With the demise of the Maroons and Americans, the "Original Six" came into being in 1942.
Players didn't make much money during the 1930s and had little leverage in dealing with owners. The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 1939 led by Milt Schmidt, who eventually was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Schmidt was paid $3,500 for the season. Schmidt was a "lifelong" Bruins employee until 1972, with that lifelong commitment interrupted by World War II. He resurfaced in Washington shortly thereafter as the General manager of the Washington Capitals.
"As far as the salaries were concerned, there was no differences as far as the Boston Bruins were concerned. I got the same kind of money as I did before I went into the service," said Schmidt in the year 2000, of the NHL's salary structure in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.
"I think the owners got everything in my day and I think a few of the owners who are now down and underneath are probably rolling over in their graves think about what they would have to pay some players today in order to have a championship team. You got to pay some money in order to do that."
"Overall, it's quite a difference in salary. They get more per diem than I got in salary. In 1939, $3,500, and I didn't get any bonus except the playoff split was close to a thousand dollars. But that was a lot of money in those days and I was very happy to be on a Stanley Cup team. We were athletes and wanted to win and that was most important. It was really an honor to be on a Stanley Cup team because there are many great players in the National Hockey League now and forever that will never be on a Stanley Cup team, so it was quite an honor."
Schmidt joined the Bruins as an 18 year old in 1936. He missed three years between 1942 and 1945 and then resumed his career. He was named Bruins coach in 1955. Schmidt was a three time First Team All-Star, the league's top scorer in 1940, and won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable Player in 1951. He coached the team from 1955-61 and returned to coaching in 1962 staying on the job until 1966 when the Bruins named him assistant general manager. He became the GM in 1967 and was given an executive position in 1972 but Schmidt and Boston parted ways when the Bruins refused to give him a four year contract. Schmidt spent 34 years with the Bruins, but he wasn't necessarily a Bruins employee for life. He wanted out but was blocked during his playing days by management like many NHL players of the day.
"I can honestly say the last few years I played in Boston, I wanted to be traded. I didn't care who to," he said. "For the simple reason that I wanted to be in the same category of (Maurice) Richard, (Jean) Beliveau or (Gordie) Howe, which I wasn't as far as salary was concerned. I wanted to be in the same category as them so I said trade me.
"They said, no. They said you will have a job when your playing days are over. Where was I going to go? I didn't have any education to go anyplace. So I stayed with the Bruins. Thank goodness I did because they did give me a job as a coach, an assistant general manager and a manager. So it worked out very well. They took care of me. They promised me a job which they gave to me and I am very pleased about the whole situation."
While Schmidt was rewarded with virtually a lifetime job, many players had to worry about making squads annually and made very little money. Only the top caliber players, Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard, and Schmidt are assured of jobs. There were only about 100 big league jobs. Detroit Red Wing Ted Lindsay started to organize a players association in February 1957. Lindsay had led the league in scoring in 1949-50 and was part of four Stanley Cup Championship teams. He became the Red Wings captain in 1952-53 but was traded on July 23, 1957 as punishment for trying to establish a legitimate players association and establishing players rights.
Players held out for more money frequently, but the owners held the upper hand. Torontos Frank Mahovlich should have had more bargaining power. He was the Maple Leafs top offensive weapon and led the club to the 1962 Stanley Cup Championship. But by training camp in 1962, Mahovlich was on the trading block, and Chicago was interested. Jim Norris offered Toronto one million dollars for Mahovlich and the Maple Leafs nearly took the offer.
That was in 1962, and the late James Norris tried to purchase me from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the beginning of the season. I think it was at All-Star Game time, recalled the Big M. I went on strike, it was only a one man strike mind you but at training camp, my contract had come up the previous year and we won the Stanley Cup. I think I scored something around 80 or 90 goals in two years and I was having a difficult time trying to get 500 dollars from them. Norris decided he was going to purchase me.
He made an offer which they agreed on and then the next day they reneged on it and I still ended up in Toronto.
The "Original Six" owners included the brothers Jim Norris in Chicago and Bruce Norris in Detroit, and the Norris family controlled Madison Square Garden. By the mid 1960s, as the population is fanning out around the United States and Canada, it became obvious that the NHL had no choice but to expand its numbers.
"They were not content for a long time," said Brian O'Neil who joined the league in the 1960s and was the NHL Executive Vice President in the 1990s before retiring in talking about the need to expand. "The expansion had been coming; there was some resistance among some of the owners.
"But there were some of them that had great foresight like Bill Jennings in particular. I always admired Bill Jennings from the New York Rangers. He knew what had to be done. The primary interest was to get from coast to coast. That's why LA was almost a shoe in from the beginning as was San Francisco. They didn't have to have a strong presentation they just wanted them in there from a geographic point of view. That was the driving factor.
"There was resistance and it took a while to get them convinced that they should do it. The fact that they want from six to 12 right away, that was a major, major decision."
The six National Hockey League owners and Commissioner Clarence Campbell did not embrace the thought of expansion at first. In fact, Campbell thought television was a menace as far back as 1951, but television expanded interest in hockey and by 1956, CBS showed games on Saturday afternoon in Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York. Also, the Canadian Broadcasting Company started Hockey Night in Canada, which became a Saturday night Canadian institution.
In 1952, Cleveland Baron General Manager Jim Hendy made overtures to the NHL. The Barons were going to join the NHL as the seventh team and leave the American Hockey League, but after months of negotiations and approval from Campbell, the NHL owners said no. The NHL wasn't solidly entrenched in the four American markets as Chicago played some of their "home" games in St. Louis and the New York Rangers closed the upper balcony at Madison Square Garden because of poor attendance.
The NHL first started televising its games on CBS in 1956 on a limited bases in Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York.
While the NHL remained at six teams, George Leader and the Western Hockey League were making noises about elevating the league's status from minor pro to "major league." Los Angeles and San Francisco joined the league in 1961 and both cities were growing and had major league teams with football's Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers both operating since 1946, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants moving west in 1958, the Minneapolis Lakers ending up in LA in 1960, and the Philadelphia Warriors going to San Francisco in 1962. In 1960, the NHL Board of Governors announced that Los Angeles and San Francisco would be given consideration should the league decide to expand.
By 1964, there were reports that the NHL was ready to begin a six team league in the west. But, it wasn't until March 11, 1965 at an NHL owners meeting in New York that the league owners decided to double in size.
"Bill Jennings was more than the President of the New York Rangers, he was a very forward thinking, league oriented lawyer and executive," said Norman MacLean, who was Jennings assistant. "Bill wanted the National Hockey League to get out of its little northeast corner, six teams, and his goal was network television. The only way to do that was going to the west coast. That's why the, what became the shambles California Golden Seals existed, and Los Angeles was obvious. They figured it out."
MacLean remembers a meeting in Jennings' Byrum, Connecticut house where Campbell and Jennings met to map out strategy for the doubling of the NHL.
"It was about three in the morning where they decided to put all of the six teams, Western Conference in one division and put the old six in the other and let them compete. One of the other thrusts that forced this to happen when it did was the fact that the Western Hockey League, a triple A league along with the American Hockey League, was threatening to go major league," said MacLean in 2001.
"The Western Hockey League was independently owned, they took some players from the National Hockey League. They weren't farm teams, whereas the AHL was, Pittsburgh was the Toronto farm team, Springfield was the Ranger farm team, Hershey was the Boston farm. So they (the AHL) were married and had much of their expenses paid by the NHL. So they were not a threat. They were the smaller eastern cities, but the larger western cities, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Francisco, could have conceivably have gone major league, and George Leader, the President of the Western League, threatened to do it three or four times. They paid salaries in some cases for big guns that stayed in a particular town more than average role players in the NHL. That was the thrust of it.
"They absolutely did not want the WHL to go major league because there would have been a scramble for players as happened later with the World Hockey association and it would have prevented the NHL from expanding and getting a shot at network TV, which to this day has never totally workout out, its probably closer now than it ever was. It was still a goal at that time and nobody recognized at that time that hockey would have limitations and they all thought it could be the next NFL."
The league did go to LA, Oakland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Minnesota and St. Louis with Baltimore, Vancouver and Buffalo not making the cut. The NHL suddenly had a presence across the country and 10 teams in the United States by summer, 1967.
There may be some romance about the "Original Six" but the "Original Six" was controlled by the Norris family which suffocated and stifled the growth of hockey in the United States. The Rangers franchise in particular suffered greatly because of the Norris tactics. The so-called golden age of the NHL, the 25-year period of six teams wasn't exactly the "Golden Era."

Jasmine is friendly, responsive, and welcoming. She is very accommodating and allowed us to drop off our bags and check-in early in the morning (we had a red eye flight). The place is clean and in a convenient location (just a few blocks away from subway stations).
Extraordinary value for this central, desirable neighborhood. As others have mentioned, the shower is great. Make sure to walk across the bridge into the city! Jasmine is super nice, a fine host patient and helpful.
Jasmine var meget venlig og hjælpsom.
Lejligheden ligger strategisk godt i Williamsburg, hvis man har nogle dage i NYC.
We had a really good time in Jasmine's appartment, especially because it was perfectly located in Williamsburg right at Bedford avenue. Two different underground stations are just around the corner and central Mahattan is just a few stops away. Also JFK-airport is quite easy to reach. We didn't really meet Jasmine since she was travelling herself at that time but she was always reachable via phone or mail/airbnb and she was always very friendly and helpful. Due to a delivery mistake there were no towls when we arrived but we called Jasmine and she solved the problem at once. The bathroom was nice and clean, our bedroom on the other hand was a bit small and we wished we would have had a few more possibilites to hang our stuff etc. The mattrass was great though. All in all a very good experience.
My friend and I had really a good time staying here. The house has everything you'll possibly need. The umbrella in the closet really saved us in the rainy days. The bed was bigger than I thought and very very comfy. The shower was also wonderful. The neighborhood was safe and it was close to many subway stations and you can get to Manhattan within 20min. Anyway it was really a wonderful experience.
The space was open and very airy. Everything was clean and orderly, it was a cheap cab ride from LaGuardia, and a 30 min. train ride to Time Square if that's your thing. There were also some great little local places for food and drink. Fine place for the price.

The invention relates to an electromechanical relief display device provided with a frame and at least one tactical member which is movable between a first position and a second position. Touching the device, a person can determine in which position the tactile member is. The tactile member is coupled to an oblong piezoelectric flexion member which may be bent under the influence of voltages applied to it and which is supported in the frame by supporting means in two locations and in a third location is coupled to the tactile member.
Such a relief display device is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,044,350. With this known device a number of piezoelectric flexion members, also called piezoelectric reeds, are supported at their ends and in their central part coupled to a tactile member.
This construction allows a reasonable driving force to be obtained for the tactile member. However, the excursion of the tactile member is rather small with a predetermined flexion of a flexion member of predetermined length.
Devices of the considered type are used as a blind aid for instance in braille cells or rulers or in other devices for tactually displaying a number of points as shown from U.S. Pat. No. 3,229,387.
A difficulty with these devices is that the tactile members have to be located rather near to each other. Due to this and to the fact that the flexion members extend to both sides of the textile members, it becomes difficult to find sufficient space for the flexion members. For instance, in the braille cell shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,044,350, the members have been mounted above each other in a number equalling the number of braille points in a character (six are shown, but there may be eight in a braille system with further signalling possibilities such as musical notation).
Another braille cell having flexion members has been shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,283,178 and 4,473,356. In these publications the flexion members are mounted by clamping them near to one end in a fitting neck portion. According to U.S. Pat. No. 4,283,178, the flexion member is activated by a DC voltage and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,473,356 by an AC voltage. It should be noted that with the present invention both types of excitation are possible, because if a person can sense whether the tactile member is in the first or the second position he will also be able to sense its vibrational movement between the first and the second positions.
A difficult of these two publications is, however, that the flexion members or reeds are clamped at one of their ends. This feature at the one hand allows for a considerable excursion with a certain flexion member but leads to relatively small driving forces for the tactile members.
A further disadvantage of these known devices is, that with a predetermined force to be exerted on the tactile member, a rather srong flexing momentum works at the flexion member in the immediate proximity of its clamped part.
Still a further disadvantage is that it is very difficult to have the flexion member mounted in the correct position. This is due to the fact that angular displacements of the flexion members at their clamping location are multiplied by almost the whole length of the flexion members, whereas it is not sure that all flexion members have exactly the same shape when no exciting voltage is applied to them. The above reasons necessitate an individual adjustment, for instance of the length of the tactile members, which means additional labour and a complication of the construction. Also, reed adjustment during use at times may be necessary. Individually adjusted tactile members have the further disadvantage that with cleaning, for instance in order to remove cutaneous fat, one has to see to it that the same tactile member again cooperates with the same flexion member after the tactile members have been temporarily demounted.
Finally, it is remarked that increase of the flexion excursion or the driving force for the tactile member by augmenting the applied voltage may be undesired or even forbidden in view of safety regulations.
The invention aims to overcome the above indicated disadvantages and more specifically to provide a relief display device of the indicated type enabling the combination of sufficient driving force and sufficient excursion as well as easy manufacture without adjustment.
The above aims are realized by providing that a third location is located outside the first and second locations.
With the present invention, the driving part of a flexion member is a free end. Thus, a greater excursion is obtained with a certain length and curvature of the member than in the case where the ends of the flexion members are fixed.
Furthermore, a more homogeneous distribution of forces is obtained than is possible with one-sided clamping. The well defined position between two spaced locations enables a manufacturing method without individual adjustment of the tactile members, as will be explained further on.
According to a further elaboration of the invention, it is provided that the support means of the flexion member at the said first location contains a protruding part of the said leaf. This part is attached to the frame. The support means in the second location consists of two clamping members between which the flexion member is clamped. Though generally the best results are obtained if the second location is in the middle of the flexion member, some variation is possible so that the term "middle region" encompasses a region going for instance from a quarter of the member's length from the first location to somewhat beyond the middle (because the excursion decreases quickly when the second location is located further away from the first location than from the middle).
Piezoelectric flexion members or reeds which preferably are used with the invention have a conducting central leaf, a piezoelectric layer on both sides of the central leaf, and a conducting coating on these layers. When using such a reed, it is according to a further elaboration of the invention provided that the attachment occurs at the first location by attaching the central leaf and at the second location by clamping the reed between the support members.
The attachment occurs preferably at a protruding part of the central leaf which is short in comparison to the reed's length. Such a mounting enables at the one hand to prevent displacement in the flexion plane practically completely, but on the other hand a sufficient flexibility to deal with the reed's flexion without fear for fatigue.
According to a further elaboration of the invention, it is provided that at the second location the flexion member or reed is clamped between clamping surfaces which are somewhat convex towards the reed. Because with the invention some pivot movement of the reed is possible at the location of the clamping, this way of engagement of the reed and clamping members is precise as well as flexible.
With application of the invention in a step configuration of the reeds, as per se known from U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,283,178 and 4,473,356 and wherewith the reeds have the same length, it is preferably provided that the first, second and third support locations are arranged in corresponding step configurations.
A preferred embodiment of the invention, with which the reeds may be located in step configurations above each other or not, is where the first support means for the flexion members contains a connection between one of the conductors of the flexion members and a conducting plane which is mainly parallel to the plane in which the flexion members flex.
Such a connection may be a solder connection between, for instance, the central leaf and the conducting plane, but weld connections and fixation by clamping or screwing is also possible.
With this embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the consequences of any differences in the initial flexion for curvature of the reeds.
The other conducting part can be connected to a related electrical terminal by means of, for instance, a conducting wire, soldering, welding and/or screwing.
Furthermore, this embodiment is very suitable for duplicating. By use of two sets of reeds, each set is mounted in step configuration with its reeds located above each other and the conducting surfaces with which the solder or weld connections are made being located on opposing surfaces of a plate located in the space between elongations of the reeds and parallel to the flexion plane of the reeds.
According to a further elaboration of the invention, an extremely advantageous manufacturing method of such a device is obtained by providing that the flexion members at their second locations are mounted somewhat tiltable in their flexion plane. Then, the flexion members in their third locations are positioned such that they are adjusted with respect to the tactile members and the flexion members in the first locations are then attached in this adjusted condition. Thus, it is possible to make allowance for the initial curvature of the reeds in such a way that standard tactile members will suffice practically without any adjustment.
It has appeared that compensation of the individual shape of the reeds is possibly by attaching the ends of the reeds in the first location in a position in which the reed's ends cooperating with the tactile members are rightly located.
A further advantage of a display device manufactured in this way consists in that the tactile members are small pins having a fixed length in dependence on their location in the step configuration. This fact allows for demounting and mounting without necessity that the same pin is mounted at its earlier location. Consequently, cleaning and service are eased and time and labour saved.
In this respect it is remarked that such devices in the long run pick up a certain quantity of dirt, for instance cutaneous fat. It is then common to demount such a device, for instance a braille reading ruler, and to clean the tactile members carried out as pins with rounded heads, as well as the plate with holes through which the pins may protrude.
With the discussed embodiment of the invention, a pin of predetermined length is always suitable for each and any display point located at the same place in the step configuration.
The invention preferably is executed as an extended braille cell with two rows of four tactile points. Consequently, it is possible to give, apart from the usual braille notation, additional information such as capitals, cyphers, musical notations and so on. Such information can also be displayed in six-points braille display cells by vibrating one or more tactile members, as is known from for instance U.S. Pat. No. 4,445,871. The invention allows the same procedure.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a side view of a braille cell in which the invention has been applied;
FIG. 2 is a cross section through the cell depicted in FIG. 1 along the line II--II;
FIG. 3 shows a view, partly in cross section and on a larger scale along the line III--III of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a partial view on an enlarged scale of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 shows a side view of a reed; and
FIG. 6 shows on a larger scale the clamping of the reed.
In the drawings reference 1 indicates a frame with a lower beam 2, a central baffle 3 with both sides attached to it, protruding horizontal support baffles 4, 5 and 6, and an upper beam 7.
At both sides of baffle 3 in horizontally open interspaces are respective piezoelectric reeds 8, 9, 10 and 11. Reeds 8, 9, 10, and 11 are respectively mounted between the lower beam 2 and the first support baffle 4; between the first support baffle 4 and the second support baffle 5; between the second support baffle 5 and the third support baffle 6; and between the third support baffle 6 and the upper beam 7. Cooperating with these reeds are pins 12, 13, 14, and 15, which can freely move up and down in bores 16, 17, 18 and 19 made in the upper beam 7. On upper beam 7, a palping plate 20 has been mounted in a removable way having holes in the elongation of the holes 16, 17, 18 and 19. These pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 have a length adapted to the height of the reeds 8, 9, 10 or 11 with which they cooperate. Thus, if the associated reed flexes in a way known per se under influence of an electric voltage, a rounded head of the related pin protrudes at the upper side of the plate 20 and is thereby palpable. In this shown embodiment, there are two rows of four pins. This means that a braille display of a character or sign is possible with additional information such as an indiction for by cyphers, capitals, musical notation and the like.
As more specifically shown in FIG. 5, the reeds 8, 9, 10 and 11 are formed by a thin central conducting leaf 21 of, for instance, brass. At both sides of leaf 21, a piezoelectric layer 22 and 23 respectively has been applied. On layers 22 and 23 there is a conducting layer 24 and 25 respectively, for instance of silver, nickel or gold.
As shown in FIG. 5, the conducting layers 24 and 25 end shortly before the attachment end of the reed. However, the central leaf 21 of conducting materials extends beyond the piezoelectric layers 22 and 23 by means of an extension 27.
At a braille end opposite extension 27, the central leaf 21 ends short of this end of the reed. Therefore, the conducting layers 24 and 25 can be connected with a connection member 26 without any danger of contact with leaf 21.
A voltage source 40 is provided to supply a central voltage to either central leaf 21 or the connected together conducting layers 24 and 25 and a second voltage to the other of central leaf 21 and conducting layers 24 and 25. The second voltage is selected from a predetermined voltage value above or an equal value below the central voltage.
At the other end of the reed, the extension 27 of the central leaf is sufficiently stiff to allow a stable attachment, for instance by means of soldering or welding, to a plate 28. Plate 28 may, for instance, be a print plate locally having conducting parts or webs 32.
FIGS. 4 and 6 show how the reed 10 is clamped between the support baffles 5 and 6 by means of a clip 29. Clip 29 has a U-shape, with plane outer surfaces engaging the baffles 5 and 6 respectively, and inner surfaces having a convex shape 30. This clip engages a round abutment part 31 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) applied to the central baffle 3 and serving the additional purpose to prevent the reeds 8-11 from engaging the central baffle 3.
The device shown in in the drawings is in fact a braille cell for only one character. A plurality of such cells can be juxtapositioned forming a braille display ruler.
However, the invention is not limited to applications for forming braille characters, but encompasses also devices for communicating arbitrary patterns to a blind or visual handicapped person.
Manufacturing the above described device can be realized by mounting it completely without attaching the extensions 27 of the central leafs 21 to the plate 28. The, gauge parts are inserted between the frame and in the drawing the right ends of the reeds, so the reeds take an exactly defined position irrespective of any reed curvature or imperfectness of the clamping means or clips 29.
In this position, the extensions 27 of the reeds are soldered or welded to plate 28 which results in an exact definition of the reed's ends cooperating with the pins 16-19, so that no further adjustment is needed. Consequently, the pins 16, 17, 18 and 19 each may have their own predetermined length. This allows for an important labour savings, because adjustments are rather time consuming. Moreover, the palping plate 20 with its reading surface can be cleaned by removing the pins and cleaning them separately without need to see to it that afterwards each individual pin is returned to its original position. This is an important advantage simplifying cleaning and/or service activities in a considerably extent.
The braille cell shown in the drawings has the advantage that a braille character is formed at the outer end. Thus, it is possible to position two cells with their braille ends against each other, after which such double cells may be arranged in a row to form two consecutive braille reading lines in close proximity.

These top interview tips will help you cover everything you need to know to successfully ace a job interview. From checking out the company to sending an interview thank you note, these job interview tips cover all the basics needed for interviewing success.
How much do you know about the company that just contacted you to schedule an interview? It should be plenty, and all the information you need is available online. Here are tips on how to research a company, get the inside scoop on the company culture, and use connections who can help you get an interview advantage.
Use your contacts
A key to success in most situations is having good and useful information. This is more so in job situation. So create contacts all the time. Get contacts in the company/industry you are interested in? Of course the best is to have info about the specific company that has invited you for job interview. Use/get/develop personal contacts, visit their website, peruse annual reports, industry magazine s and newsletter, etc. Who you know at the company you are interviewing with really does matter. Use your contacts and connections to get an insider advantage so you can ace the interview and impress the interviewer.
Practise interviewing
Taking the time to review typical interview questions you will probably be asked during a job interview will help give you a framework for your responses and will help calm your frazzled nerves, because you won't be scrambling for an answer while you're in the interview hot seat. Practise interviewing with a friend or family member ahead of time and it will be much easier when you're actually in a job interview. In-front-of-the-mirror and video-recorded practice is in the card.
Improve your interview technique
A job interview gives you a chance to shine. What you say, how you say it and what you do is going to either move you to the next round of consideration for employment or knock you out of contention. Do you know about eye contacts? Is you posture right? Can you handle behavioural interview questions? What about verbal and non-verbal communication techniques?
Dress for interview
The first impression you make on a potential employer can make a big difference. The first judgement an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview. The principle is that you must look the part, be formal and moderate. If you don't know exactly, dress a level-above the prospective level, i.e. dress like your prospective direct boss.
Handle a group interview
Interviewing with one person is tough enough, but it's even harder when you have to interview with a group (or panel) of interviewers. This is the main mode of interviewing in Nigeria – talking to more than one person (could be more than 8!) at a time. Identify the leader/decision maker, focus on him, be well prepared.
Interview while dining
Taking you to breakfast, lunch or dinner provides the interviewer with a chance to check out your communication and interpersonal skills, as well as your table manners, in a more casual environment than an office setting.
Prepare for a phone
While you're actively job searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter or a networking contact might call and ask if you have a few minutes to talk. Have your pitch- why you think you should be give the job. Manage your voice and be positive. Smile, even to the phone!
Take the time to say thank you
Taking the time to say thank you after a job interview is good not only for interview etiquette, it reinforces your interest in the position. Learn how to write thank you letter, which is an opportunity to address issues and concerns that came up during the interview. Write it within 24 hours, and to key/all people who took part at interviewing you; certainly the leader/person-with-the-power-to-hire.

The reason for the scarcity of this issue is twofold. First, only 30,100 pieces were struck, which is the lowest mintage in the entire ten Indian series. Second, it appears that most of the scant mintage was dropped into circulation shortly after striking. Several hundred XF-AU coins have been certified by PCGS and NGC, with almost 150 pieces in AU58, indicating brief circulation for a significant percentage of the few coins struck. The finest 1911-D tens known (certified) are three MS65 coins, inclusive of this Gem. The Price, Duckor, and Michaels collections of ten dollar Indians all lacked a Gem of this date.
One feature that distinguishes this coin from other Mint State 1911-D tens is the sharpness of strike seen on this piece. Often there is slight weakness seen at the juncture of the eagle's wing and breast, as well as on the trailing leg. That is not the case with this example. This is a strongly struck coin in all areas. Also, the color is usually light to medium orange-gold. This piece has deep reddish color and it is evenly dispersed over each side. The surfaces display thick mint frost and pronounced granularity. Strong magnification will be required to find the couple of tiny marks on this coin. One is directly behind the eye of the Indian, appearing like crow's feet; while the other is located in the reverse field below the ST of TRUST.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire this key and major condition rarity to the ten dollar series. The 1911-D is not only one of the rarest issues in this popular series, it is also one of the major rarities of all 20th century United States gold coins. Sometimes the opportunity to acquire a coin of this importance and rarity is as rare as the coin itself. A highlight of the Kutasi Collection.
