This is a Continuation of International Application PCT/EP2006/005128, with an international filing date of May 30, 2006, which was published under PCT Article 21(2) in German, and the disclosure of which is incorporated into this application by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a weighing system with a plurality of weighing cells for separately weighing a plurality of materials.
2. Description of the Related Art
Weighing cells are functional units for determining weight, which include a weighing unit within a housing and the electronics necessary for operation. The weighing cells also store the calibration parameters specific to the weighing unit. The downstream electronics, e.g., the signal processing unit, may be arranged either within or outside the weighing cell.
A person skilled in the art will be familiar with multiple arrangements of individual weighing cells in weighing systems. Such cells are required in industrial processes wherever the weight of many individual small amounts of material, whose individual weight is often very low, must be determined at short time intervals. Examples include, among others, dosing and quality monitoring processes, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry.
When deciding the size of a weighing cell, the geometric size of the weighing unit is considered. Since the geometric size of the weighing units suitable for such processes are large in relation to the material being weighed, the weighing cells are almost exclusively provided in single-row, linear arrangements. Only when particularly narrow weighing units are used is it possible to space the individual load sensors closely together.
Geometrically larger weighing units may also be staggered in height, such that special arms fixed to the force application points of the weighing units make it possible to space the individual load sensors closely together. The separate arms on the weighing units differ individually depending on the position of the weighing cell within the weighing system. Such an arrangement is known in U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,638 B1. The cost of designing and building weighing systems of this kind is very high because each separate weighing cell within the weighing system differs individually. This also presents problems when such weighing systems have to be serviced and repaired. Functionally reliable arrangements of weighing cells, e.g., in a two-dimensional array, with closely spaced individual load sensors at distances ranging from one to five centimeters, and a positional tolerance of the load sensors of a few tenths of a millimeter, can be realized with conventional weighing cells only at great cost.
An object of the invention is to provide a weighing system having a plurality of weighing cells, which is simple and cost-effective to assemble and which simplifies servicing.
In one aspect of the invention, this object is achieved in that the weighing cells of the weighing system have a substantially identical configuration, are arranged interchangeably in a two-dimensional array, are releaseably fixed on a carrier element and are provided with an electrical connector.
Because the weighing cells in the weighing system are identical and separately removable it is sufficient to keep one weighing cell in reserve for servicing or repair. Through a suitable configuration of the fixation means, the individual weighing cell can be inserted into the system very precisely, so that there is no need for adjustments or calibration or for the entire system to be disassembled for servicing. With insertion, the electrical connections necessary for operating the weighing cells are also established by plug contacts. The electronics contained in the weighing cell provide the weighing signal to a downstream signal processing unit as well as the typical calibration parameters for the weighing cell.
In an exemplary embodiment, a carrier element, e.g., a plate with honeycomb recesses, is used to seat and mechanically fix the individual weighing cells. The precise fabrication of this carrier element and that of the complementary counterparts on the weighing cells make it possible to precisely position the individual weighing cells in both horizontal x, y directions and vertical z direction. To reduce a possible tilting error of the individual weighing cells and thus to ensure a precisely spaced alignment of the load sensors of the individual weighing cells, a fixation plate is provided, which is spaced apart from the carrier plate in z direction and the position of which in relation to the carrier plate is in turn determined by corresponding fixation elements. Electrical contacting of the electronics necessary to operate the individual weighing cells with the downstream signal processing unit is accomplished, in the simplest case, via a wiring board by means of plug contacts, such that each weighing cell is assigned a specific slot on the wiring board.
In an exemplary embodiment, the wiring board is below the carrier element, spaced at a distance therefrom in z direction. The board with the electronics required to operate the individual weighing cells has a connector which, in relation to the corresponding slot on the wiring board, is arranged in such a way that electrical contacting is effected simultaneously with the mechanical positioning of the weighing cells on the carrier plate.
The aspects of the invention will become evident particularly in weighing systems having weighing cells that are to be arranged in a two-dimensional array with at least 3�3 elements.
In an exemplary embodiment, two weighing cells each and their electronics are combined into a weighing module with two load sensors. By densely packing the two weighing units in relation to each other and arranging the two sets of electronics necessary to operate the weighing cells on a common board, it is possible to further reduce the space required by a weighing module compared to two individual weighing cells. Forming a weighing module also makes it possible to obtain a rectangular configuration of the weighing units. For individual weighing cells within an array that is equidistant in x and y direction, the individual weighing unit must be nearly square. For a weighing module having a lateral ratio of 1:2, the two weighing units it contains can be arranged in the longitudinal direction so that a lateral ratio of 1:4 can be obtained for the individual weighing unit. This neatly fits the structural configuration of the individual weighing units. It is of course also possible to integrate more than two weighing cells within a weighing module.
A housing enclosing the weighing module in cooperation with the functional elements described above forms a unit, which ensures that individual weighing modules can be easily replaced without adjustments or calibration.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to
As shown in
The individual load sensors 5 of the weighing module 3 are located at the nodes of a rectangular equidistant array. In
The functionality of the weighing system 1 will now be described with reference to the replacement of a weighing module 3, without discussing the operation of the weighing system as such.
After the fixation plate 9 has been removed, e.g., during servicing, the individual weighing modules 3 can be easily replaced. This is done by pulling the corresponding weighing module 3, e.g., by the fixation elements 10, using a corresponding tool. The new weighing module 3 can then be inserted into the honeycomb recess 7 of the carrier element 6. The collar 8 ensures exact positioning in x and y direction as well as in z direction, while the bevel 17 of the honeycomb recess 7 ensures exact orientation. At the same time, the connector 12 ensures electrical contacting of the electronics 11 in the corresponding slot 14 of the wiring board 13. The wiring board in turn provides the connection 15 to the downstream signal processing unit. Putting on the fixation plate 9 ensures that any minor tilting error of the individual weighing modules arranged on the carrier element is corrected by the fixation elements 10 of the individual weighing modules 3, and the individual load sensors are in precisely spaced alignment in x and y direction in relation to each other.
If individual weighing cells are used in place of the weighing modules, positioning and contacting are effected correspondingly.
The above description of the exemplary embodiments of the invention has been given by way of example. From the disclosure given, those skilled in the art will not only understand the present invention and its attendant advantages, but will also find apparent various changes and modifications to the structures disclosed. It is sought, therefore, to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.

Bush Likens Iraqi Action to Transition in '40's Japan
"I'm absolutely convinced that some day, 50 or 60 years from now, an American president will be speaking to an audience saying, 'Thank goodness a generation of Americans rose to the challenge and helped people be liberated from tyranny,' " Mr. Bush said. " 'Democracy spread and the world is more peaceful for it.' "
During last year's campaign, Mr. Bush often spoke of his friendship with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi of Japan, remarking that a bitter enemy that Mr. Bush's father fought against in World War II has become a close friend and ally. He expanded on the theme during his recent trip in Asia, with Mr. Koizumi at his side, and used it again today to argue that history would prove him right in deciding to invade Iraq.
"Something happened between the time that my dad and your relatives signed up in World War II and I'm talking peace with Koizumi," he said. "And what happened was, Japan became a democracy."
Many outside experts and even some of Mr. Bush's own aides question his reliance on the comparison, noting that Japan was a unified state before World War II, but that Iraq has always been divided along religious and regional lines.
"It may sound too simple, but this is a comparison the president believes in deeply," one of his senior aides said when Mr. Bush was in Asia, declining to be quoted by name in discussing the president's thinking. "It's the argument he knows his presidency will be judged by."

Rare Final-Year 1915 Matte Proof Quarter Eagle1915 $2 1/2 PR 63 NGC. The unpopularity of the matte style of proofing among the public forced the Philadelphia Mint to discontinue production of gold coins after 1915. The present issue, of which only 100 pieces were produced, boasts the lowest mintage in the Indian quarter eagle series. With an extant population of perhaps 24-25 pieces, the 1915 also has legitimate claim to the title of rarest matte proof issue in this series. The color is a deep, rich, olive-tan shade. The surfaces present a virtually blemish-free appearance to the naked eye, and there are also no singularly mentionable distractions under a loupe. A sharply struck, conservatively graded example that belongs in an advanced gold collection. (NGC ID# 289P, PCGS# 7964)

Ever since I was about 9 years old (25 now) I have had an issue with syncope, or passing out. I've been in and out of so many doctor's offices with no answers until recently. Long story short, I have POTS or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome related to overproduction of adrenaline. Interestingly this also accounts for my anxiety in the past which meds never worked on, it explains why I am so jumpy and startle like crazy, why I get a cold nose all the time and a multitude of other miscellaneous things.
There is one medicine that works (half of the time) and that is Beta Blockers. Unfortunately for me they lower blood pressure and pulse. When I am seated or laying down, my bp is already dangerously low, so these are a no-no for me. My doctor has me on a cardio exercise regimen to try and increase my cardiac out put, and it seems to be kind of sort of helping (I thought I was already fit, but come to think of it I am fit in every other way except cardio....oops).
Anyways, he is recommending that I get a service dog trained for stability so when I do pass out (which is currently about 4 times a week, and about 10-20 close calls) I don't fall and hit my head. Trouble with this is, my horse HATES dogs. When riding he will pin his ears and stomp at them.
Does anyone here have any experience with service dogs and horses?

Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 08/22/2013
Rating: Total score: 40%
The main standout feature of this Toshiba offering is the large 17.3 inch screen, a real treat for those who like big and dramatic displays. The enormous screen on this laptop purportedly replaces the need for a conventional desktop, and offers all the usual features a PC offers. Users can choose between a myriad of Intel processor (up to i7) or multi core AMD A-Series processors as hardware.
This will undoubtedly be sufficient to store files, data and even entertainment like games, music and movies. Speaking of which, the laptop comes equipped with a DVD player, which can optionally be upgraded to a Blu-ray player. There are also chambered speakers powered by DTS. As usual, there are USB 3 and HDMI ports for all your data transfer needs. Design wise, it comes in a glossy metallic color, suitable for both business and pleasure. Rounded corners embellished in silver give it an added touch of class.
A USB sleep and charge port allows users to charge any external electrical gadget via a USB cable even when the laptop is switched off. This general purpose laptop is worth its mid-range price as it can cater to virtually any need.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GT 700M series. Based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28nm process.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
4700MQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.4 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.8 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.

Many years ago, when I was still doing graduate studies in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, I became involved in a snail-mail back-and-forth discussion with a zealous Evangelical lady in southern California, a representative of some Protestant ministry or other, who insisted that Mormons aren't Christian. (I suppose that this conversation was the starting point for the book Offenders for a Word.) At one stage of the conversation, I tried to help her understand what genuine non-Christianity looked like (e.g., in the case of Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims). When her reply came, it was clear that she was absolutely exhilarated by my comments. She had, she plainly thought, caught me in a hypocritical, brazenly obvious self-contradiction. "You insist that you're a Christian," she triumphantly wrote, "while you deny Muslims their right to be Christians!"
More and more, I try to avoid debates with people who aren't equipped (whether by education or training, by temperament, or by sheer capacity) to engage in serious discussion, to construct sound arguments or to properly understand a sound argument when when they see it. Such encounters remind me too much of a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail – which is, of course, one of the greatest films ever made:
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass. ARTHUR: What? BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass. ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge. BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die. ARTHUR: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside! BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man. ARTHUR: So be it! ARTHUR and BLACK KNIGHT: Aaah!, hiyaah!, etc. [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off] ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary. BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch. ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off! BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't. ARTHUR: Well, what's that then? BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse. ARTHUR: You liar! BLACK KNIGHT: Come on, you pansy! [clang] Huyah! [clang] Hiyaah! [clang] Aaaaaaaah! [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off] ARTHUR: Victory is mine! [kneeling] We thank Thee Lord, that in Thy mer-- BLACK KNIGHT: Hah! [clunk] Come on then. ARTHUR: What? BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you! [kick] ARTHUR: Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh? ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left. BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have. ARTHUR: Look! BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound. [kick] ARTHUR: Look, stop that. BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! [kick] Chickennn! ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. [kick] Right! [whop] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right leg off] BLACK KNIGHT: Right. I'll do you for that! ARTHUR: You'll what? BLACK KNIGHT: Come here! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me? BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible! ARTHUR: You're a looney. BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on then. [whop] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's last leg off] BLACK KNIGHT: Ooh. All right, we'll call it a draw. ARTHUR: Come, Patsy. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!
Unfortunately, I still get sucked into such discussions from time to time. It's difficult to extricate oneself from them gracefully, without seeming to be elitist or arrogant, without hurting feelings. Sometimes, though, it's best simply to withdraw from these encounters and to wish the best for your would-be opponent. I don't believe that salvation depends upon scholarly acumen or intellectual ability or education. There are much more important things, and I expect the Lord to be gracious and merciful. But not everybody was a top student in school, and people don't become better scholars or more rigorous thinkers merely by virtue of growing older. There are, in other words, still plenty of B, C, D, and F students out there. Their souls are of infinite worth, and they may well be — and, in many cases (I'm very serious here), certainly are — far better people than the A students. But that still doesn't mean that they're good at the particular more-or-less academic work of framing and evaluating arguments.

Rare 1867 Double Eagle, PR65+ Ultra Cameo1867 $20 PR65+ Ultra Cameo NGC. CAC. The 1867 proof double eagle is a numismatic icon, from a tiny mintage of 50 pieces. Most experts agree that many examples of this minuscule mintage were never distributed, and probably at least half of the 1867 proof production was melted after the end of the year. Even in much earlier times, gold proofs of this era were extremely rare. Writing about the gold proof set offerings in the Major William B. Wetmore Collection in 1906, which included an example of the 1867, the Chapman brothers reported, "These proof sets are exceedingly rare, and our estimate would be that there are not over five sets in existence of these dates." While proof double eagles were almost exclusively sold as part of proof sets in the 1860s, by the time of the Chapman's writing a number of these sets had been broken up. A few double eagles undoubtedly survived as single pieces, in addition to the five or so examples the Chapman's estimated in the sets. David Akers believes as many as 10-12 pieces are extant today. Data from the grading services indicates a slightly smaller population, as only six coins have been certified in all grades by NGC and PCGS combined (11/10). A roster of all examples known to us is detailed below. Some of the earlier appearances are certainly duplications of the citations listed in the main roster, but it is not possible to definitively link them to the known present-day coins.

Fewer Than 12 Examples Known
The present coin is a magnificent high-end Gem, with razor-sharp details throughout. Fine definition is evident on Liberty's hair, and all the stars show full radials. The deeply mirrored fields display traces of the orange peel texture seen on the finest gold proofs of the 1890s. The frosty devices contrast boldly with the reflective fields to create a dramatic cameo effect. A tiny lint mark is noted on the upper right curling part of the banner on the reverse, below the stars, and to the right of the eagle's head. A few hairlines can be detected on the attractive, greenish-gold surfaces, but they do little to detract from the appeal of this spectacular piece. Currently, this coin is the only example certified in PR65+ Ultra Cameo at NGC, but one example has been graded finer, at PR66 Ultra Cameo (11/10). PCGS has graded no coin higher than PR63 (11/10).

Certain other conditions and diseases appear more often in people who
have gout than in people who don't, though studies have not shown a clear

American golfer Robert Garrigus didn't see any reason to stick around for the finish. He had watched enough of the final round at Torrey Pines to see that Kyle Stanley, whom he described as ''exploding with talent,'' had a three-shot lead and headed for a sure win. Garrigus left for the spa to get a massage. It didn't take long for him to figure out what had happened. ''I got back to my car, saw my phone and it was blowing up,'' Garrigus said. ''I had six or seven text messages. I had four or five voicemails. I wasn't talking to anyone on Sunday, so there was no need for anyone to call me.'' He didn't have to read a single message. He didn't have to listen to a voicemail. He knew. ''I looked at my phone and thought, 'Uh-oh. He blew it,''' Garrigus said Monday evening. Among his priorities this week at the Phoenix Open was to find Stanley and offer the kind of advice that only comes through experience. Garrigus has every bit of that. He had a three-shot lead on the final hol...

Ocean not all that separates US, European fans
"Players of color become all the more a lightning rod for controversy and hatred," Starn said.
This isn't to say American sports fans - or Americans in general - can congratulate themselves on being enlightened.
Jason Collins is the only active openly gay male player in any of the four major American professional sports, and the veteran NBA center only came out last month. Brittney Griner has said her coach at Baylor encouraged her not to discuss her sexual orientation. San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver said during Super Bowl week he wouldn't welcome a gay player on his team, and homophobic language doesn't yet have the charge of racial slurs.
"We have not confronted the gender demons and the sexual orientation demons in our sports culture quite as up front as we have with race," Eckstein said.
And, Starn said, just because American fans aren't shouting slurs does not make them better than people in Europe or elsewhere.
"There is a certain smugness among Americans around race and now, I would say, gay and lesbian issues," Starn said. "But these problems have not gone away. We still live in an America that's racially divided by neighborhood and friendship and marriages. And we still live in an America where negative attitudes of gay and lesbians are pretty widespread.
"Just because you don't hear racist chants is not a sign that America has achieved some nirvana of racial equality and tolerance."

Louisville's win conceals more poor late-game execution
Jan 29, 2013, 10:09 AM EDT
Louisville was able to snap their three-game losing streak on Monday night, knocking off Pitt 64-61 in the Yum! Center to move to 5-3 in the Big East and stay two games behind Marquette and Syracuse atop the league standings.
There's no question it was a big win for the Cardinals, because Pitt is a good basketball team. Whether it comes at home or on the road, beating the Panthers is always going to be a good win, especially when it snaps the first three-game losing skid that started when a team was ranked No. 1 in the country since 1989.
But that doesn't mean that the win should put to bed all the concerns that we had about the No. 12 Cardinals heading into Monday night.
The three losses that the Cardinals suffered were all close losses. Two of them — Syracuse and Georgetown — came down to the final possession. The loss to Villanova was pushed to nine points by free throw shooting in the final minute. But all three losses can be pinpointed on one thing: offensive execution late in games. Against Syracuse, Peyton Siva turned the ball over twice in the final 30 seconds — once with Louisville up a point, which led to a dunk at the other end, and the second time with Louisville down a point. Against Villanova, there were three straight passes from Siva to his big men that weren't handled well. Against Georgetown, the Cardinals didn't score from the field in the final four minutes, capped off by two awful, contested pull-up jumpers in the final minute — one from Siva and one from Russ Smith.
The Cardinals caught a break against Pitt.
The Panthers, who aren't exactly a great free throw shooting team, were 3-12 from the stripe for the game. that played a big role in Louisville taking a 58-52 lead into the final two minutes.
But the Cardinals had two dreadful offensive possessions when trying to ice the win. On the first, Siva dribbled around, aimlessly trying to drive to the basket, before wasting too much time off the shot clock and forcing Gorgui Dieng into an illegal screen by trying to from off of a pick before he was set. After Lamar Patterson hit a three to cut the lead to 58-55, Smith dribbled out the shot clock before trying to split the defenders on a ball-screen. He lost control of the ball and was eventually forced to try and take a jump shot over seven-footer Steven Adams. It was blocked.
And Pitt had the ball back with a chance to tie.
Fortunately for Louisville, their defense held down the stretch thanks to the cushion that Pitt's shoddy free throw shooting gave them.
They snapped their three-game losing streak.
But I would refrain from calling the win confidence-inspiring.

If you watched this, you would know that Pitt hit about 3 treys late in the game that were absolute bombs, including 2 by Woodall at the very end that he would be hard pressed to make again (1 with 1 second left). Missing Blackshear and Ware meant serious playing time for a walk on…
No one in Louisville is panicking, believe me. Those three losses, while painful, could have gone the other way (at least two of them could). Yeah, CBT, you go ahead and seed Louisville at a number 4 in the midwest for now. This team will be heard from big time before the year is done…

Report touts explosive growth (and value) for energy efficiency programs
By: SGN Staff
Energy efficiency programs aren't new. They have been around for 30 years or more in many states, since the energy crises of the 1970s. But according to a new report from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), energy efficiency programs have grown and developed to become "a low-cost, high-value energy resource for electric utilities and their customers."
"Working with customers to reduce their energy use through improved energy efficiency was a radical departure from the traditional utility business model followed from the earliest days of the industry through the 1970s," said Dan York, ACEEE Utilities Program director and the report's lead author. "Using energy efficiency and related practices to manage customer energy use has become an integral and highly valuable utility energy resource."
ACEEE explains that while some states have only recently started significant energy efficiency programs, the programs have overall grown rapidly, particularly in the past 10 years as the result of policies set by utility regulators and state policy makers. The report says the total budget for utility energy efficiency programs was $4.6 billion in 2010, four times larger than the $1.1 billion spent a decade ago.
"The concept of energy efficiency as a utility resource is really very simple," noted Marty Kushler, ACEEE senior fellow and report co-author. "To keep an electric system in balance, you can either add supply resources or reduce customer demand. Utilities, regulators and policymakers have increasingly come to realize that it is far cheaper to reduce demand through energy efficiency programs than it is to construct, fuel and operate additional electric generating plants."
And energy efficiency programs don't just cut costs. They have also shown substantial environmental benefits and can improve system reliability, the report says. Bottom line: ACEEE found that energy efficiency is the lowest cost energy resource available to utilities - by a wide margin.

iXsystems FreeNAS Mini Review
The new iXsystems FreeNAS Mini is a power efficient home and small office NAS featuring an 8-core 2.4GHz Intel CPU and 16GB of RAM (upgradable to 32GB). The Mini, which was developed with the FreeNAS community in mind, utilizes ECC RAM, which reduces its possible error rate compared to previous models. The Mini of course features all of the FreeNAS goodies like compression and optional data deduplication, which is unavailable in other NAS consoles in its class, maximizing its 16TB of storage space and eliminating superfluous reiterations. It is the most customizable (both in terms of hardware and interface) NAS in its class and its free operating system has an active developer community, producing new (and free) updates regularly. Although the FreeNAS interface is not as user-friendly as others in the Mini's class (like Synology and QNAP), once users become familiarized it can be a very efficient system to manage with an extensive feature set and leading data reliability thanks to ZFS.Read more

SanDisk Ultra microSDXC 128GB Card Review
The SanDisk Ultra microSDXC 128GB memory card is optimized for smartphone, tablet, or camera users looking to maximize their storage space. It is compatible with Android and Windows phones and can be used with any SD card accepting camera (it comes with an SD card adaptor). While it does offer the most storage available in any microSD card on the market today, the user does sacrifice some performance; at a reported read speed of 30MB/s, it is one of the slowest microSD cards that SanDisk makes. However, for many users this trade-off would be an easy one to justify; this card could be fully appreciated by anyone that uses their phone or camera to capture lots of HD video or images without wanting to clear the card as frequently.Read more

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - More than 12,500 elementary and middle school students have enrolled in Gwinnett County Public Schools' summer session, an increase of about 1,000 pupils from last year, district officials said Friday.The school system's second-day enrollment count showed 8,976 elementary schoolers and 3,607 middle schoolers were attending summer school, said Sloan Roach, the district's spokeswoman. That's about 79 percent of the 15,900 students recommended for the summer session. "We are pleased to see that the majority of students recommended for summer school - either because they were on an academic contract or because of failure to meet promotion requirements on the CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Test) or Gateway - are taking advantage of this summer learning opportunity," Roach said. "Over the next three weeks, these students will benefit from very targeted support in their areas of weakness." Roach said it would be hard to pinpoint the reason for the growth in summer school enrollment. She noted the district's enrollment in the 2007-08 academic year grew by more than 4,000 students. "We do have more students who had not met the standards on the CRCT," she said. "That definitely could be a factor." The parents of students who opted not to attend summer school but plan to take the CRCT retest at the end of the session need to alert the school so the testing materials will be on hand for the child, Roach said. About 100 students have already retaken the CRCT. The Georgia Department of Education allows pupils one chance to retake portions of the state-mandated standardized test.
