The present application is a division of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/356,771 filed on 1 Feb. 2003, which is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. Application No. 10/254,316 filed on 25 Sep. 2002 and entitled "Hot Melt Adhesive Detection Methods And Systems", both of which are assigned commonly with the instant application and incorporated by reference herein, and from which benefits are hereby claimed under 35 U.S.C. � 120.
The disclosure relates generally to hot melt adhesive systems, and more particularly to the application and detection of hot materials, for example, hot melt adhesives deposited on substrates, methods and systems therefor.
The non-contact detection of beads of hot adhesives on moving conveyors by using infrared sensors that detect temperature differences between the adhesive and the substrate is known generally.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,831,258 entitled "Dual Sensor Radiation Detector" discloses for example a glue bead detection system comprising a dual sensor housing two thermopiles that detect an adhesive target and the reference moving conveyor temperatures, respectively, through a common lens. The thermopile outputs are coupled to an LED bar graph display that changes with changes between the temperatures of the adhesive target and the moving conveyor. A dynamic bar graph is indicative of intermittent adhesive beads, and a relatively constant bar graph is indicative of a relatively continuous adhesive bead.
In order to precisely detect the beginnings and ends of adhesive beads and other thermal materials, the sensor must be equipped with an optical focusing device, like the common lens in U.S. Pat. No. 4,831,258, but this limits the area that may be monitored by the sensor.
An object of the disclosure is to provide novel thermal detection methods and systems.
Another object of the disclosure is to provide thermal detection methods and systems that improve upon the art.
In one embodiment, the disclosure teaches methods in hot melt adhesive detection systems comprising generally detecting separate areas of a target, for example a hot melt adhesive on a substrate, by sensing changes in temperature with thermal sensors arranged non-parallel to a direction of relative motion between the detector and the target, and summing an output of the at least two thermal sensors. In some embodiments, the summed output of the sensors may be evaluated, for example by comparing the summed output of the at least two thermal sensors with a reference.
In another embodiment, the disclosure teaches methods in thermal detection systems, for example adhesive detection systems, comprising generally generating an output signal related to heat, for example, heat radiating from a hot melt adhesive, detected with a thermal sensor, and evaluating the output signal by comparing it to a threshold generated from a reference heat profile. In one embodiment, the threshold is a variable threshold.
In another embodiment, the disclosure teaches thermal sensing methods, for example, in hot melt glue sensing systems comprising at least two thermal sensors mounted in spaced apart relation, a signal summer having inputs coupled to outputs of the at least two thermal sensors, a controller having an input coupled to a output of the signal summer, wherein the controller is programmed to sample and store the output of the summer in memory.
In yet another embodiment, the disclosure teaches thermal sensing methods, for example, in hot melt glue sensing systems comprising detecting a product, detecting hot melt glue disposed on the product while detecting the product, and comparing a period during which the product is detected with a period during which the hot melt glue is detected.
These and other objects, aspects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more fully apparent upon careful consideration of the following Detailed Description of the Invention and the accompanying Drawings, which may be disproportionate for ease of understanding, wherein like structure and steps are referenced generally by corresponding numerals and indicators.
In one embodiment of the invention, the thermal sensing system comprises generally a plurality of at least two thermal sensors mounted in or on a mounting member, for example, a mounting member positionable relative to the target to be detected by the detectors. The plurality of sensors are preferably oriented non-parallel to a direction of relative motion between the sensors and the target. These and other aspects of the invention are discussed more fully below. The number of sensors depends generally upon the width of the detected target.
In one embodiment suitable for detecting hot melt adhesives and for other sensing applications, the thermal sensors are infrared-heat detecting sensors. The TH Series of infrared thermal sensors, for example, Part Number TH-11, by SUNX Sensors USA, West Des Moines, Iowa 50265, are especially well suited for hot melt glue sensing applications. The TH-11 series hot melt glue sensor includes a controller that stores pre-set programmed settings for different applications and produces a red alignment spot on the target to facilitate alignment and focused detection. Other specialty sensors, a variety of which are available from SUNX Sensors USA and other manufacturers, may be better suited for applications other than hot melt detection.
Although the exemplary plurality of thermal sensors comprise discrete sensors, other embodiments may employ a single sensor capable of detecting more than one location and producing corresponding outputs, which may be summed together as discussed further below. Such a unitary sensor with multiple sensors inputs and corresponding outputs is considered, at least for the present invention, to be equivalent to multiple discrete sensors of the exemplary type.
In the exemplary embodiment of
The micro-controller is coupled to memory 150, including read only memory (ROM) and possibly programmable ROM (PROM) and RAM for storing data. In some embodiments the controller is coupled to a display device 160, for example, a liquid crystal (LCD) display or a cathode ray tube (CRT). In this exemplary embodiment, the controller is programmed, for example, by an application program stored in ROM or in a PROM, to sample the digitized output of the summer 120 and store the sampled summer output data in memory. Those having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the exemplary digital implementation herein has analog equivalents.
In some embodiments, it is desirable initially to detect the presence of the product or target to be detected by the thermal sensors. In
The exemplary system of
In some embodiments, detection of the product leading edge may be used to initiate the thermal sensing operation, which is discussed further below. Detection of the trailing edge of the product may be used to terminate the thermal sensing operation. In
In some embodiments, the product leading edge detection event may be stored in memory for use as a reference, for example, relative to the product trailing detection event. Use of encoder outputs that track the movement of the product may be used with the leading and trailing edge detection events to compute the length of the product. The measured product length may then be compared with known product length. The computed product length may also be compared with outputs of the thermal sensors to determine whether the product has been covered adequately by the target material.
In one mode of operation, at least two adjacent areas of the target are detected by the plurality of thermal sensors. As noted above, broader areas may be detected by using additional sensors, or pairs of sensors. In the exemplary embodiment, at least two separate areas of the adhesive material are detected by sensing changes in temperature with a corresponding number of thermal sensors arranged non-parallel to a direction of relative motion between the detector and the adhesive material. The thermal sensors generally detect the target material, for example, the hot melt adhesive of
In some embodiments, it is desirable to sample the summed output at a rate dependent on the relative motion between the detector and the adhesive material, thus sampling the summation of the sensor outputs at regular distance intervals along the target. In one embodiment, illustrated in
Upon establishing the reference, the sampled summer output data are compared relative to the reference by counting how many readings are above or below the reference, for example, on a per unit length basis, and then assessing the compared results relative to a tolerance, which may also be determined empirically. In the exemplary embodiment, the comparison is controlled by a comparison program segment, stored in memory, that compares stored samples of the summation of at least two thermal sensor signals with a stored reference.
In the exemplary embodiments, all amplitude data points of the summed thermal signal outputs are not stored. Instead the summed signal is sampled and stored for comparison with the corresponding references. In one embodiment, a tolerance establishes the acceptable number of signal samplings that may not exceed the reference on a per unit length basis. In hot melt glue applications, the results of the sensor signal evaluation may be used to determine whether an adequate amount of glue has been deposited. In the exemplary digital implementation, a tolerance program segment stored in memory compares the results of the comparison program segment with a user specified tolerance.
In one embodiment, a product on which the target is disposed is detected, for example, with a photo-detector that detects the leading and trailing edges thereof. A hot melt glue, or other target, disposed on the product is also detected while detecting the product. It may be determined whether the hot melt glue completely coats the product by comparing a period during which the product is detected with a period during which the hot melt glue is detected. Additional information may be obtained about the application of the adhesive on the product by also using the encoder, for example, a determination may be made regarding which portions of the product are coated with adhesive and which ones are not.
In one embodiment, the reference is determined while operating the system in a teach mode. In teach mode, upon establishing stable thermal sensor readings, the controller successively adjusts the gain of the summer signal output, or other detector output, to optimize the span of temperature readings. The gain of the output may also be adjusted in teach mode to adapt to different target conditions, for example, different temperature output ranges or adhesive glue thickness, etc. For this adjustment, the controller increases or decreases the amplifier gain based on the maximum temperature readings, thus shifting the range of readings to a more optimal range, for example, to better differentiate temperature readings from noise. In
In one embodiment, the reference is a linear threshold.
For some applications, a constant linear threshold discussed above is acceptable. In other applications, however, it maybe more desirable to have a threshold that corresponds more closely to a desired heat profile, which may be non-constant or variable.
In some embodiments, the amount subtracted is dependent upon the slope of the reference heat profile. In other embodiments, the amount subtracted depends upon the expected variability of the product measured. Thus in some applications, it may not be necessary to scale the reference profile, whereas in other applications substantial scaling of the reference heat profile may be required.
In some embodiments, the reference profile may be generated from multiple profiles, for example, by averaging data samples from several profiles, which may have small variations.
While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what are considered presently to be the best modes thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific exemplary embodiments herein. The inventions are therefore to be limited not by the exemplary embodiments herein, but by all embodiments within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.

Fillet Of Beef A L'Amiral
|Beef fillet
|1 Kilogram (In One Piece)
|Bacon rashers
|Parsley sprigs
|4 Small
|30 Gram
|Anchovy fillets
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Dry red wine
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In work bowl chop the bacon, the onions and the parsley.
Lightly saute, put in a bowl, add the egg, season and mix well together.
Salt should not be necessary as the anchovies are sufficiently salty.
At 3 cm (l 1/2 in) intervals along the length of the fillet, make incisions without cutting through the fillet.
Place some of the stuffing into each pocket and then bind the fillet so that the stuffing stays in place.
Next roast the fillet for 30-45 minutes, depending on the degree of cooking desired.
Remove the fillet from the roasting dish and deep warm.
On top of the stove heat the cooking juices in the roasting pan, add the red wine and cook for a few minutes.
Cut the fillet into slices, making the incisions between each pocket of stuffing.
Pour the cooking juice over each and serve with some steamed vegetables.

Hollis Robbins didn't let a little rain get in the way of her rocking an outfit filled with hot designers. When we spotted her near the Johns Hopkins bus stop near Peabody Conservatory, the Charles Village resident stood out in her Tahari skirt and jacket from Nordstrom. Her shoes are from Nordstrom. Her Michael Stars blouse was gently layered with a Emilio Pucci scarf. The combination broke up the darker colors of the skirt and jacket. Her pearl necklace, earrings and Arcadia bag were all gifts. "My outfit has to match without thinking about it," said Robbins, a 48-year-old professor of humanities at Peabody Conservatory. Not exactly sure how she did it using that formula, but mission accomplished.

There's "mutual interest" between Terry Francona and the Indians
Sep 28, 2012, 10:30 AM EDT
Yesterday we heard that the Indians had made contact with Terry Francona about their fresh managerial vacancy. The question was whether Francona would truly be interested in an Indians job that presented (a) a rebuild; and (b) less money than he made in Boston. To that end, Peter Gammons throws this out there this morning:
There is mutual interest between Francona and Indians. They'll all know better after weekend. Peace, love and understanding may be >$

Interesting. Sandy Alomar is a fan favorite and, according to some, the favorite among several Indians players. Of course, Indians players probably aren't the determining factor here given that, as a group, they've not won anything and the bulk of them likely won't be around the next time the Tribe wins anything.
As for Francona, it'll be interesting to see if he really wants to go into a situation where rebuilding is going down as opposed to taking over a more veteran-laded team seemingly closer to contention. Although, given what Baltimore and, to a lesser extent, Pittsburgh did this year, the line between rebuilding and contending is a lot thinner than it used to be. That's probably especially true in the AL Central.

Please Tito. For the love of God and all that is holy DO NOT GO TO CLEVELAND.
It's an armpit of a city to begin with, but the team is in NO place to win any time soon.
AND, you're going to have to deal with Chris Perez.
Who the hell would want ANY of that? Not me.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 28, 2012 at 11:21 AM
1) Cleveland can't be all bad. It does have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 2) the fire on the river was doused years ago. 3) Perez can be traded. Boston might be a good place for Perez.
- stlouis1baseball - Sep 28, 2012 at 11:37 AM
Wow Will. I see your glass is half empty this morning huh? Geesh Man! It's Friday.
Turn that frown upside down.
- willclarkgameface - Sep 28, 2012 at 1:07 PM
1) The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is reeks of political favoritism and is therefore an unforgivable waste of time.
2) The fire you speak of burns with white hot ember as the team has sucked pretty bad post All-Star break for 2 years now. Wasn't this supposed to be the time we see the prospects come up and KINDA put the fire out?
3) Perez should be traded. He's a dink and is VERY angry.
4) The glass is now fully empty because it is Friday. Getting my drink on as we speak.
Drink up baseball fans.
- stlouis1baseball - Sep 28, 2012 at 1:28 PM
"Getting my drink on as we speak."
Sigh. Come on 5:00 P.M.!
- jayscarpa - Sep 28, 2012 at 11:36 AM
No pitching. No prospects. No money.
Let Alomar take the job.
- mrklutch1011 - Sep 28, 2012 at 11:42 AM
Don't hate on C town unless youve lived there for one and don't act like francona is above taking a job where his ideals will echo thru an organization. A chance to take a young group with some talent and rebuild a winning culture again is way more admirable as a fan and more rewarding as a coach (See Bucky with the O's)
- Kevin Gillman - Sep 28, 2012 at 12:19 PM
And as I said just earlier this week, Francona has ties in Cleveland. He was even thinking about coming here as Special Assistant to the GM before he took the ESPN gig. He would also automatically command respect. So if I had a choice, it would either be Terry, or Sandy. First two choices there.
- tonyz6060chevy - Sep 28, 2012 at 12:55 PM
The Dodgers would be stupid to let this opportunity pass them by. I always felt that Donnie ball has run it's coarse,he was just an economic replacement for Joe Torre,anyway! I think the Dodgers and Terry Francona are a good match ,and probably what the Dodgers need to kick them in the ass!The only one, out of the current Dodger coaching staff I'd bring back ,is the first base coach Davey Lopes.
- stlouis1baseball - Sep 28, 2012 at 1:41 PM
Donnie ball has run it's course? He has been at the helm for about 3 minutes.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 28, 2012 at 4:30 PM
Do you seriously think that Francona want any part of the three former Red Sox players?

very strong smell - a bit like the body shop hemp range - which i quite like - a little goes a long way, but does feel a little sticky.
Gorgeous lotion, smells divine! My all time favourite.
Fast delivery, well packaged, all round great doing business.
Fast delivery
Seems to be very moisturizing and I love the patchouli scent - seems a bit strong at first but fades to a subtle level once on!
Lovely organic product, pleasant aroma and cool against the skin.
sorry I will not try it again. not sure what to do with it now once it is open . It does smell very strong and strange ( not good smell) although it it herbal based.
A lovely product! I like to get natural and organic products as much as possible, and I like the way this company operates. The lotion is delicious, not overwhelming in scent but nice and not sticky or too thick. Loverly stuff!

Steve Howard is full of praise for fellow Derby County striker Chris Martin
Posted: May 20, 2014|
DERBY County promotion hero Steve Howard has described fellow striker Chris Martin as "great signing" for his old club.
Martin has scored 25 goals in his first full season with the Rams, helping Steve McClaren's men reach the Championship play-off final and becoming the first Derby player to reach the 20-goal mark since Dean Sturridge in 1995-96.
Howard came close, netting 19 times as he led the line in the Rams' promotion-winning campaign of 2006-07 – and the £1m signing from Luton Town has appreciated Martin's efforts this term.
"He's been really good," said Howard.
"He's a very good player and has been very important to the team.
"I'm sure he'll be able to kick on from here.
"He'll do well in this side and, hopefully, he can help them get to Wembley again."
Martin was snapped up by then-Derby manager Nigel Clough on a free transfer last summer after his contract with boyhood club Norwich City expired.
He had scored twice in 13 appearances during a loan spell with the Rams, having had a stint at Swindon Town in League One earlier in the season.
Howard said: "I don't think anyone had particularly high hopes for him this season, but he's come in and done a fantastic job.
"Obviously everybody else overlooked him but Derby got him and he's been a great signing."
Howard, now aged 37, is currently without a club since leaving Hartlepool United in November – but is considering a move abroad, possibly the United States.
"I've got three or four options," he said.
"America is a shout, so I might go and play there. We'll have to wait and see."

One explenation that I have seen, to why religions can develop in groups of people, comes from evolutionary psychologists, who argue along the lines that societies that developes religious rules and codifies moral behaviour will have an evolutionary advantage to other societies who doesn´t.
then you also have various philosophical arguments for a belief in a deity, like:
All of the above arguments has of course been discussed at length and counterarguments exist to all of them, as it exists counterarguments to those counters etc etc

One of the most common souvenirs we saw in Ljubljana was replica beehive panels sold in what I presume was their original size plus much smaller versions and even refrigerator magnets. We had a laugh over many of the designs, old women being milled into pretty maids, bears with guns robbing the beekeepers, a devil sharpening a woman's tongue. There are also religious panels, folk art panels, historical panels and ones with mythical figures.
The beehive panel is a painted wooden board that was surrounded by other wooden boards that make up the beehive. They can be found on the beehives that are stacked on top of one another a bee-house. The panels 20-30 cm wide, 10-20 cm high, where the bees entered the hive were painted, so the bees could recognise their hive. Most of the original panels were created during the 1800s up through WWII. You might find an authentic panel for a lot of money at an antique store, what you'll find in the souvenir shops are replicas.
Even if you don't plan on buying one, take a look at them should you find them at a souvenir shop, I guarantee you'll laugh at least a few of them.
Caped crusaders
Not once but twice on our visit we ran into an interesting collection of superheroes walking down the street, no one but us paying them much attention. They weren't handing anything out, they weren't talking to people, just walking the streets of Ljubljana as if it were perfectly normal to be wearing a costume midday nowhere near Halloween.
I can only identify one of the four we saw, Batman, and I have to wonder what kind of cartoons kids in Slovenia are watching. A giant happy bear with a cape? What kind of super powers does he have? And then there's the one with the beak on his head and what looks like a puzzle piece on his chest. Is he Birdman? Puzzleman? And the 4th one's costume looked like he was shopping at the discount costume store because I can't even hazard a guess....
Danger! Falling Rocks!
In what I presume is a seasonal art display, there were a couple of pieces of outdoor art in Preseren Square. The 1st photo shows a cascade of rocks, at the bottom there was a sign in English saying "Danger! Falling Rocks!" The other was a series of people in a trajectory.

|Part of a series on the
|Culture of Bangladesh
Music and performing arts
Behula (Bengali: বেহুলা) is the protagonist in the Shiva Purana and the Manasamangal genre of Bengali medieval epics. A number of works belonging to this genre were written between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. Though the religious purpose of these works is to eulogise the Hindu goddess Manasa, these works are more well known for depicting the love story of Behula and her husband Lakhindar.
Story from Shiva puran[edit]
Usha the daughter of Banasura was fall in love with Aniruddha the son of Pradyumna. Aniruddha was grandson lord Krishna. After their marriage they reborn again as behula and lakshinder or laxmichandra in next life and married each other again.
Impact on Bengali ethos[edit]
Behula continues to fascinate the Bengali mind, both in Bangladesh and West Bengal. She is often seen as the archetypal Bengali woman, full of love and courage. This image of Behula is reflected in one of the poems of Jibananda Das. Behula was the daughter-in law of Chand Sadagar of Champaknagar.According to myth, two beautiful "apsara's of the kingdom of heaven, Usha and Aniruddha were cursed by Gods as per the plan of Goddess Manasa and sent to earth as Behula and Lakshinder- Behula as the only daughter of Say bene and Lakshinder as the seventh son of Chand sadagar. Chand sadagar was a great devotee of Shiva and for certain reasons he hated Manasa. But Manasa had to get "Anjali" by Chand sadagar's right hand- the Bhaktasreshto to get position of Goddess in the heaven.However, Chand sadagar promised to himself that he will never give anjali to Manasa by the hand he uses to give anjali to Lord Shiva. To get an anjali from Chand, Manasa took away his six sons.They died from poisonous snake bites and manasa had absolute power over all snakes. These deaths infuriated Chand sadagar even more and he vowed to save his last son, lakhinder, in any way possible. Chand found a girl,Behula, whose destiny spoke that she will never be a widow. Chand got his seventh son, Lakshinder married with Behula. Chand also had an iron-palace built without any hole so that not a single snake could enter the house. Bishyakarma made it for the wedding night of Behula-Lakshinder. But due to the request of Manasa, Bishyakarma kept a hole in the palace. The night came and Manasa sent her Kalnagini, the most poisonous snake, to the iron palace. Behula fell asleep due to a spell Manasa cast on her. When Kalnagini was going to bite Lakshinder, she saw that Behula had committed no sin for which she might be given such a harsh punishment. So kalnagini, with the help of the lower end of her body smeared the parting of Behula's hair with the oil of the lamp, which was a sin according to the Hindu mythology. After she bit Lakshinder, Lakshinder shouted aloud. Behula woke up and saw kalnagini going out of the room. In anger, she threw the jaanti towards kalnagini and the lower part of the snake's body was cut off. kalnagini was not eager to bite Lakshinder; Manasa forced her to do so. To get back her husband's life from the Gods in the heavens, Behula sailed with her husband in a raft towards Heaven. She faced many dangers during her incredibly long and difficult journey in the rivers. After reaching Heaven, she pleased all the Gods with her beautiful and enchanting dancing and got the Gods to promise to give back her husband's life on the condition that Chand would give anjali to Manasa. Desperate to save his son's life, finally Chand gave in and gave the anjali by the left hand. Consequentlty Manasa got the position of Goddess in heaven and gave back the life of all the six sons of Chand. Behula is regarded as the epitome of loving and loyal wife in the Bengali culture.

1880 Morgan Dollar, PR67+ Cameo1880 $1 PR67+ Cameo NGC. A generous mintage of 1,355 proof Morgan dollars was accomplished in 1880, with most examples sold as part of proof sets of the year. The popularity of proof sets was probably due to demand for the Trade dollar, which was the object of much speculation in 1880. Many proof Morgan dollars have been cleaned or otherwise impaired over the years, but a number of elite, high-grade pieces have survived, including the coin offered here. This specimen is a spectacular Superb Gem, with sharply struck, frosty devices, and deeply mirrored, brilliant fields. The stunning field-device contrast on this piece has culminated in the Cameo designation. This coin is the only example certified in PR67+ Cameo by NGC (10/10).(Registry values: N4719) (PCGS# 87315)

Highlights for May 8-9, 2015:
- Four editors and six literary agents, with coverage of every genre–from Christian and literary to fantasy and science fiction–and all of the major nonfiction topics
- Q&A panel on both days
- Conference all-activities deal with two manuscript critiques and two pitches
- Extended workshop on understanding contracts and key legal issues for writers
Do you want the chance to earn a contract directly with a publishing editor or with a literary agent who will represent you to publishers? Do you want editors and agents to tell you what you're doing wrong and doing right in your manuscript, synopsis, and query letter? Would you like to discuss your writing project with editors or agents to see if there's any interest in the marketplace? If you answer, "Yes," to any or all of these questions, then the Atlanta Writers Club has designed a conference for you:
On Friday May 8 and Saturday, May 9, 2015, the Atlanta Writers Club will present its twelfth Atlanta Writers Conference. The goal of this conference is to give you access to ten top publishing editors and literary agents—never any repeats from previous conferences; always an all-new lineup—and to educate you with a workshop and talks by experienced authors. The editors and agents will respond to your pitch; critique the manuscript sample, query, and synopsis you submit in advance; critique your query letter during a Friday practice session so you can improve your work for Saturday; and educate you about the current environment of the publishing industry and the changing roles of editors, agents, and their clients.
You could be offered a contract based on the materials you've submitted: after every conference some AWC members sign with conference guests and realize their dream of publication (see testimonials here). You might be asked to send additional pages or an entire manuscript for their review. You certainly will know more about how your work is perceived by industry professionals, and you'll gain valuable experience interacting one-on-one with them.
You also will have fun, learn more about the publishing business, and get a chance to chat informally with these editors, agents, and your peers. We will have four editors and six agents in attendance: on Friday, May 8, we'll feature an Editors Q&A Panel to give you their viewpoints and on Saturday the 9th we will have an Agents Q&A Panel to focus on their experiences and advice. In addition, you can register for two critiques and two pitches from the start, as part of a conference package deal.
Moreover, we are featuring a special two-hour Workshop on Friday, May 8 from attorney and literary agent Paul Levine, who will present "Contracts 101 and Legal Issues for Authors" with examples and extensive Q&A. This workshop is for writers at all levels, from those just starting out to authors with books who want to better understand publishing contracts, copyrights, and liabilities. Paul Levine also is one of the agents participating in the manuscript critiques, pitches, and Q&A panel.
With the Editors Q&A panel, Query Letter Critique, and the two-hour Workshop, it's definitely worth taking a half-day off from work on Friday, May 8 so you can experience all of these educational and developmental opportunities!
On Saturday, May 9, while the morning critiques are held, award-winning author SR Johannes will give two 75-minute presentations, and that afternoon while the pitch sessions are held, bestseller Catherine McCall will do two 75-minute presentations. Paul's 45-minute talks on Friday and the 75-minute presentations on Saturday are free to those who register for any of the paid Conference activities. Finally, to close out the Conference on Saturday afternoon, we feature an award ceremony, where each editor and agent will present a certificate to participants for the best manuscript sample submitted for critique and for the best query letter pitched. Testimonial providers Marie Marquardt and Rebecca Albertalli each were awarded a certificate and you can see how it helped to change their lives!
Those who have succeeded as a result of the conference aren't the only ones who are grateful for the experience. Conference guest Heather Alexander, Associate Editor forDial Books, raved, "The Atlanta Writers Conference is a great place for writers to meet editors and agents, and learn some of the ins and outs of the publishing industry. What a great networking and learning opportunity!"

Software developers/business analysts of databases are responsible for creating and maintaining database software and analyzing business information for their organization. They are also in charge of writing database-related code which will be deployed to servers and company systems.Read More...
Some of the main responsibilities of these analysts include gathering business requirements for programming specific features into database applications, identifying technology needs, and coordinating with other database specialists to test programs before implementation. Those in this position work closely with quality assurance teams to identify software issues, propose solutions to bugs, and test changes. In addition, they actively participate in business meetings to suggest changes to the analysis and software processes and offer ideas to make databases consume fewer company resources.
These analysts must work well in a team environment with other analysts and developers, but should also perform effectively on their own with minimal supervision. They generally use a personal computer loaded with programming tools and database software to create applications that meet the specifications of company projects. Those in this position should also be proficient with office applications for spreadsheets, database consulting, and creating queries to find important information. They also create technical manuals and write reports for upper-management professionals and end users for future reference.
They may help mentor and train novice users in new software programs, and generally report their progress to the database vice president or systems supervisor in their department. A bachelor's degree in database applications, business analysis, or a related field is required for this position. Previous years of experience in an analyst or developer capacity can be helpful, and industry and technology certifications are also beneficial.
Survey results imply that Database Software Developers put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, ASP.NET, and C# are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Java, VB.Net, and SQL. Most people experienced in Microsoft SQL Server also know .NET.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Database Software Developers generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $64K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $81K. On average, Database Software Developers make $92K following one to two decades on the job. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $96K.

The Steelers have salary cap issues that aren't going away, and they will lose their top receiver Mike Wallace as well. However, they may be able to land a former 1,000 yard receiver that fits their offense like a glove. According to Jamison Hensly of ESPN.com, in an attempt to shore up their receiving corps, the Steelers may make a move for freshly released Kansas City receiver, Steve Breaston. Breaston was a mainstay in Haley's offense for the Cardinals and Chiefs.from 2008 to 2011, Breaston averaged 60 catches before having a dreadful 2012 campaign. Breaston could serve as a suitable replacement for Mike Wallace, and his versatility is something the Steelers offense needs. His familiarity with the offense would make for a quick transition, and when he's at his peak, Breaston is a 1,000 yard receiver. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Phil Lewis: The back story of the law that today's board wants to change
Three Collier County commissioners voted last week to revamp a 15-year-old ethics ordinance that at one time was considered the most stringent in Florida.
You would think that with the recession ending and growth sure to follow that the intent would be to refresh and strengthen laws concerning gifts, favors and other forms of influence peddling.
You would be wrong.
Commissioners Georgia Hiller, Tim Nance and Tom Henning voted to redraft the local law to bring it more in line with the less restrictive state law, which allows public officials to accept gifts with a maximum value of $100. The spirit and original intent of the county ordinance was to be a "no gifts" law, though it does allow the acceptance of small items coffee, cans of soft drinks and bottles of water as long as they are valued at no more than $4.
Hiller said the county's current ordinance is too restrictive and could lead to Jail time for anyone buying a county official elected or otherwise a cheeseburger. Nance said the current law sometimes puts him in an uncomfortable position of turning down nominal gifts flowers, fruitcakes and such -- from friends and constituents. He termed it "rude."
So the county attorney was assigned this past week to draft something new.
While we wait to see what the county attorney delivers, let's take a peek back at 1998.
Collier County and the rest of Southwest Florida was in the middle of a boom period. The Naples area was ranked as one of the fastest growing in the nation attracting hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial and residential real estate development.
The result was jammed roads, over-burdened sewer systems and a culture of corruption.
It was that culture that spawned the county's current ethics law, the one that Hiller and company now want to change.
In late August of 1997, concerned and angry citizens met at the Collier Athletic Club off Goodlette-Frank Road to demand change. The Daily News had just reported that an elected county commissioner had been given a $7.5 million stake and a lucrative consulting job with a residential and commercial project known as Stadium Naples.
Further reporting raised serious questions about commission votes, unpaid impact fees and county staff decisions. Our stories led to a special investigation by the state, arrest warrants and resignations.
A special prosecutor assigned by then-Gov. Jeb Bush described the local situation as an unprecedented level of institutional corruption involving local government. Three county commissioners were arrested along with the county manager.
The 1998 ordinance was passed because shocked citizens and community groups especially the Collier County Republican Party demanded an immediate change and the highest ethical standards.
The stricter "no gifts" policy as rude as it may be was meant to send an immediate message to government officials and those seeking government favors that there would be from that day forward "zero tolerance."
It was an important message and the need for the stricter ordinance was reflected in news stories that followed as the criminal investigation played out.
Sworn testimony revealed the root of the corruption. It started small. County staff and elected officials routinely accepted free rounds of golf and country club lunches from developers seeking land-use changes and fee waivers. Offers of future jobs in the private sector and even free cable television service were part of the wooing, all easily defensible under Florida's more lenient ethics law.
In a few short years the corruption expanded, got bigger. There were unpaid loans and a briefcase full of $100 bills.
Fast-growing Collier County made headlines across the nation. The St. Petersburg Times, Florida's largest newspaper at the time, explained it this way with a quote from a leader in the local Republican Party:
"There was a culture of corruption. The bosses had been bought off, so the staff jumped in too with the free golf and free lunches. It permeated the whole chain."
The county ethics ordinance, the one that three commissioners now want to amend, was a big reason the culture of corruption in county government changed.
The lesson here is: Buy your own cheeseburger.
