A fiber composite structural component such as a fitting, bracket, mounting or the like is produced by applying fiber material such as fiber threads or fiber yarns in an automatic circular weaving operation to a core that has at least two sections, to form a fiber material body (6). One core section is removed from the fiber material body when the weaving is completed. The body is then deformed in a mold that has the contour of the finished structural component with at least one mold core section still in the fiber material body. The deformed configuration of the structural component is then impregnated in an RTM device with a resin and hardener followed by curing. Reinforcements may be inserted or secured to the fiber material body prior to the impregnated and curing step.

12. The method of
[0001] This application is based on and claims the priority under 35 U.S.C. �119 of German Patent Application 102 10 517.0, filed on Mar. 9, 2002, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The invention relates to a method for producing a structural component by using fiber composite construction features. Such structural components are preferably used as so-called hardware in the aircraft construction field.
[0003] It is known to produce fiber composite components by using resin transfer molding techniques also known as RTM method. According to the RTM method a prefabricated semi-finished product or article is inserted into a mold, which is then evacuated. The semi-finished product is impregnated or saturated by a resin hardener mixture that is introduced into the mold. Thereafter, the pressure and temperature in the mold is increased for curing the semi-finished product into the finished structural component.
[0004] Another conventional production of structural components employing fiber composite construction features involves the production of fiber fabric layers which are then cut to a precise measure, impregnated with resin and then inserted into a jig or mold which is enveloped or encased together with the preassembled preimpregnated fiber fabric layers and the resulting package is then inserted into an autoclave for curing. Depending on the intended use of the structural component some after-treatment may be required for fiber composite components that have been produced by the just described molding operations. Such after-treatment may involve machining, drilling or the like. It is not the purpose of the invention to avoid such after-treatment procedures.
[0005] In view of the foregoing it is the aim of the invention to achieve the following objects singly or in combination:
[0006] to produce a fiber composite structural component, particularly a lightweight component suitable for use in aircraft construction, by employing automated procedures to a larger extent than was possible heretofore;
[0007] to avoid or at least minimize the need for manual steps in the production sequence;
[0008] to combine so-called resin transfer molding techniques with an automated round weaving or hose weaving technique for the production of a fiber material body as a semi-finished product;
[0009] to use a mold core that has at least two core sections, one of which can be removed from the semi-finished product while the other sections will be removed from the finished product; and
[0010] to make the mold core of a low melting material that preferably can be recovered and used repeated while still being able in its mold core form to closely resemble the final configuration or contours of the fiber composite structural component.
[0011] The above objects have been achieved according to the invention by a method for manufacturing a fiber composite structural component having a given contour by using fiber composite construction features, whereby the method is performed by the following sequence of steps. First a mold core is provided or constructed to have at least two separable core sections which together have a mold core contour or configuration that closely resembles the given contour of the finished fiber composite structural component. This mold core is then used in an automatic circular or hose weaving operation in which a fiber material is circularly woven around the mold core to form a fiber material body which at this point is not yet impregnated with resin and hardener. Next, one of the separable cross-sections is removed out of the fiber material body which is then inserted into a mold having the given contour of the fiber composite structural component. At this point one of the separable core sections is still in the fiber material body. In the mold the given contour of the fiber composite structural component is impressed on the fiber material body to form a semi-finished product. The semi-finished product is then impregnated with a resin and binder or hardener mixture. The impregnation is then followed by curing to produce the finished fiber composite structural component. As the last step the other core section is removed from the structural component. Preferably, but not necessarily, the impregnation and curing takes place in a resin transfer molding apparatus.
[0012] Substantial advantages of the method according to the invention are seen in that the production time has been substantially reduced compared to conventional methods, particularly due to the automatic round or circular weaving for producing the fiber material body. Further, the highly accurate reproducibility of the contours of the finished structural component which reduces rejects, and the high production rate are significant economical advantages that are combined with a low weight of the structural component made of fiber composite material as compared to corresponding components of aluminum. Moreover, the material strength and thus the structural strength of the components produced according to the invention reduces the effort and expense for maintenance procedures for aircraft equipped with such components.
[0013] In order that the invention may be clearly understood, it will now be described in connection with example embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0014]FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a mold core having two core sections that together closely resemble or approximate the contour of the finished product;
[0015]FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view along section plane II-II in FIG. 1 with both mold core sections still in the fiber material body which in turn is inserted in a jig or mold only shown symbolically;
[0016]FIG. 3 shows a section similar to that of FIG. 2, however with the lower mold core section removed and the empty fiber material body portion partially deformed;
[0017]FIG. 4 is a sectional view similar to that of FIG. 3 with the empty portion of the fiber material body still further deformed to produce lateral mounting flanges;
[0018]FIG. 5 is a sectional view along section plane V-V in FIG. 6;
[0019]FIG. 6 is a side view of a fiber composite structural component produced according to the invention; and
[0020]FIG. 7 is a top plan view in the direction of the arrow VII in FIG. 6.
[0021]FIG. 1 shows a mold core 1 which comprises at least two core sections 2 and 3. The mold core 1 is separately produced to have a contour 2′ that closely resembles the contour or configuration of the fiber composite structural component to be produced according to the invention. The mold core 1, or rather the mold core sections 2 and 3, are made of a low melting material such as metal alloys which retain their dimensional and shape stability at temperatures up to about 120� C. and which tend to melt at temperatures that are used for the curing, for example 180� C. Wax or wax compositions may also be suitable for the present purposes. According to the invention the mold core 1 is surrounded by fiber material in an automatic round, circular, or hose weaving operation, whereby the weaving proceeds back and forth along the length of the core 1 as indicated by the double arrow 4. The automatic winding or weaving operation is performed so that the end faces of the mold core 1 remain open as will be described in more detail below.
[0022]FIG. 2 shows that the fiber material 5 in the form of at least one woven ply or prefabricated layer surrounds both core sections 2 and 3 so that the top surface, the side surfaces and the bottom surface of the mold core are covered with the fiber material 5 to form a fiber material body 6 which is inserted into a jig or mold 17 so that the lower mold core section 3 is not inside the opening or cavity of the mold, whereby the core section 3 can be removed from the fiber material body 6. The number of layers or plies of fiber material 5 will be selected in accordance with the strength requirements to be met by the structural component to be produced. Reinforcing members 5A, for example in the form of prefabricated layers 5A, preferably made of fiber composite materials or fiber composite woven fabrics, are attached to the fiber material 5 along the top, bottom and/or side surfaces of the body 6. For simplicity's sake only one reinforcing layer 5A is shown in FIG. 2. Normally a plurality of such layers, preferably also made of fiber composite materials or fabrics, will be attached to the fiber material body 6. These reinforcing members 5A may be attached by sewing or stitching or any other suitable attachment method, e.g. automatic embroidering.
[0023] Another way of securing reinforcing members 5A in the form of prefabricated layers is performed as follows. First one or more fiber material plies are woven onto the mold core 1. Then, a reinforcing layer or layers are applied followed by weaving at least one additional fiber material ply or plies 5B onto the reinforcing layers. The additional plies 5B hold the reinforcing layer or layers in place. The application of all plies and reinforcement layers of fiber material, preferably carbon fiber material can also be accomplished by the above mentioned automatic round or circular weaving operation whereby reinforced portions of the fiber material body 6 carry more plies than other body portions. However, preferably the reinforcing layers are produced separately in a mass production operation.
[0024]FIG. 3 shows that the lower core section 3 has been removed following the completion of the fiber material body 6 so that a hollow space is formed in the lower end of the fiber material body 6. The fiber material body 6 is still held in the jig or mold 17 and a force F is applied to push the empty portion of the fiber material body 6 against the downwardly facing surfaces of the jig or mold 17. As shown in FIG. 3 the empty portion has not yet been completely pushed against the mold 17 thus illustrating an intermediate position in the sequence for manufacturing a semi-finished product 7.
[0025]FIG. 4 shows the completion of the semi-finished product 7 in which the previously empty portion of the fiber material body 6 has been completely pressed against the jig or mold 17 by the force F to form mounting flanges 8. These mounting flanges 8 are particularly suitable for connection to the primary structure of an aircraft such as the frame of the aircraft body.
[0026]FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 illustrate a modification of the present fiber structural component 9. In the modification reinforcement layer or layers 5B are so dimensioned and positioned that portions 15, 15A of the reinforcement layer or layers protrude from the respective facing ends of the finished fiber structural component 9. Prior to inserting the semi-finished product 7 into a resin transfer molding apparatus, the protruding portions 15, 15A are folded against the open ends of the semi-finished product 7. The protruding portion 15A completely closes the rear end of the semi-finished intermediate product 7 as shown at 15A in FIG. 6. The protruding portion 15 has such a length that an opening 15B into a hollow space 14 between the component side walls 12 and 13 is formed. The opening 15B extends from an upper edge 15C of the folded portion 15 to an upper edge 15D of the top wall of the finished component 9. Thus, the core section 2 that initially remained in the semi-finished product 7 can be removed after completion of the component 9, for example by melting the material of which the core is made out of the finished component 9. This melting of the core section 2 may take place simultaneously with the curing.
[0027]FIG. 5 shows that all mold core sections 2 and 3 have already been removed from the product 9. The impregnated and cured side walls 12, 13 of the component form together with the mounting flanges 8 and the bottom wall 11 an upside down double T-configuration 10 which is connectable along the flanges 8 to aircraft frame elements. The end wall frame portions 15 and 15A are well suited for providing a surface area connection to, for example, the outer aircraft body skin by an adhesive bonding, riveting or the like.
[0028] When the mounting flanges 8 of the intermediate product 7 are completed, the semi-finished product 7 will be inserted into a resin transfer molding apparatus in which the product 7 is impregnated by a conventional resin hardener mixture and then cured, preferably at a temperature which enhances the curing and simultaneously melts out the core section 2, for example at about 180� C., whereby the material of the core section 2 can run out of the opening 15B. However, the curing can also take place a higher temperature, whereby the core section 2 is melted out of the cured component in a separate step. Once the low melting core material has been completely removed from the space 14, the component 9 may be subjected to after-treatments, such as milling, drilling, insertion of bushings and so forth. For example holes 16 may be drilled through the side walls 12 and 13 for passing screws or rivets through these holes 16. The left-hand ends of the side walls 12 and 13 form together a fork for receiving a structural member not shown.
[0029]FIGS. 6 and 7 further show where reinforcing layers 5A and 5B have been placed in addition to the woven plies 5, whereby the side walls and the top and bottom walls surfaces of the component 9 may have thinner or thicker portions as indicated by the steps or corners seen in FIGS. 6 and 7. Thus, according to the invention the wall thickness of the component can be selected in accordance with the load requirements that may be higher toward the ends of the component 9 compared to the center of the component 9.
[0030] An important advantage of the invention is seen in that a conventional circular or hose weaving automat can be used for producing the fiber material body 6 and that the reinforcing layers 5A can be separately produced on automatic looms and then secured into or to the woven fiber material body 6. A circular or hose weaving automat includes a manipulation system to be operated by an operator and an industrial robot which carries the mold core 1 functioning as a weaving core. Such weaving cores can have complex three-dimensional configurations which means that hardware components having complex three-dimensional configurations can be made according to the invention. Thus the fiber material body 6 produced by such a robot weaving loom can have a preliminary contour which closely resembles the final desired configuration or contour of the hardware component 9. The final contour is achieved by deforming the body 6 in a mold as described above and by additional stitching if desired. Thus, any configuration or contour of the structural component 9 can be fashioned. For example, gusset components or elements for a framework can be made as well and easy as hollow bodies, whereby the weaving core 1 is easily melted out in sections at different stages of the manufacturing sequence. Additionally it is possible to stitch together separately woven fiber material bodies, whereby substantially any configuration or contour of the structural component 9 can be made.
[0031] Further, during the circular weaving operation the thickness of the fiber material and the thickness of the individual plies can be selected as desired. This selection also applies to the thickness of separately produced reinforcement layers. For example, a woven ply can have a thickness of 1.2 mm while a reinforcement layer may have a thickness of 0.25 mm. Additionally, it is possible to select the ratio of the fiber material volume relative to the open spaces in the fiber material body 6. These open spaces depend on the tightness of the weaving which can be selected by the loom operator. Thus, the fiber volume may be about 60% while the open spaces volume in which the impregnating resin is received, amount to about 40%. In the given example the ply thickness of 1.2 mm may be achieved, for example, by using so-called inlay threads or yarns having a thickness of 0.4 mm and braiding yarns or threads having a thickness of 0.8 mm. These threads or yarns have a � orientation or direction. The direction or orientation of the fiber threads or yarns will differ within the woven body. For example, the braiding yarns or threads may start at an orientation of �30� while ending at an orientation of �60 to 70�. Even the inlay yarns which normally have a 0� orientation may have an orientation at a variable angle.
[0032] Carbon fibers are preferably used for the present purposes in the form of CFC materials. However, other fiber materials may be used as well if such other fibers, for example in the form of GFC materials satisfy the strength requirements that must be met by the structural components. Further, conventional resins and hardeners are used in practicing the present method.
[0033] Although the invention has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be appreciated that it is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the appended claims. It should also be understood that the present disclosure includes all possible combinations of any individual features recited in any of the appended claims.

(Huffington Post)- "Jane Got A Gun," but lost a director. As first reported by Deadline.com, director Lynne Ramsay ("We Need to Talk About Kevin") left the new film "Jane Got A Gun" on the first day of shooting, forcing producers to scramble for a replacement. Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Joel Edgerton are set to star in the Western, which focuses on a young woman who defends her farm and husband against an outlaw gang with the help of an ex-lover.
"I'm shocked and so disappointed someone would do this to 150 crew members who devoted so much time, energy, commitment and loyalty to a project, and then have the director not show up," producer Scott Steindorff told Deadline.com. "It is insane somebody would do this to other people." Portman is also a producer on the film.
HuffPost Entertainment reached out to Ramsay's manager for comment on the situation. In a twist, the director's representative was Jessica Steindorff, Scott's daughter.
"My father Scott Steindorff prevails under extreme amounts of stress and the show will go on," Jessica Steindorff said to HuffPost Entertainment via email. "Sorry, but in this town it's family first." The younger Steindorff wrote that she no longer manages Ramsay.
HuffPost Entertainment also contacted screenwriter Brian Duffield's representatives, but did not receive any response. As yet, no reason has been given for Ramsay's departure.
This is the second shake-up to "Jane Got A Gun" in recent weeks. On March 11, THR reported that Michael Fassbender, who was set to play the male lead in the film opposite Portman, had left the project. Jude Law stepped in to replace Fassbender in the cast, but not in his role: Edgerton, who was attached to play the villain in "Jane Got A Gun" took Fassbender's part, with Law slotting in as the film's antagonist.
UPDATE, 3/20: According to Deadline.com, "Warrior" director Gavin O'Connor has been hired to replace Ramsay. Filming is set to begin on Thursday

A Greeting from the Farm & Food Project Director
Food and farming have always been central to our existence, but it's only been in the last few decades that we mistakenly decided to pretend that we could leave it all up to someone else.
The GMC Farm & Food Project is all about reclaiming what matters about nature, nurture, and nutrition – by way of learning why it matters. How we as individuals relate to food is usually a pretty good indicator of how we relate to the environment, our society, other cultures, and other animals. How we relate to food and agriculture as a community is indicative of the interests and priorities of that community.
GMC takes farming and food issues seriously. I'm proud to work in a college that has a working farm as a centerpiece of campus life and that doesn't shy away from the complexity of issues surrounding how we sustain ourselves, our environment, and our culture. "Sustainability" is a word our culture struggles with, but when you get to the root of it all – sustenance – then it becomes much less abstract and academic... and as a result, much more serious.
The GMC Farm & Food Project is our way of ensuring that the centrality of food permeates virtually every aspect of our campus. The college farm makes it all real and gives everyone a chance to experience the challenges of farming. The sustainable purchasing initiatives in our dining hall challenge all of us to find ways to build a more sustainable campus food system. Our Sustainable Agriculture & Food Production major enables students to tackle the complexities of what happens on the college farm and in the dining hall with a hands-on, interdisciplinary approach—providing students with the skills and understanding they need to practice the craft of farming while also ensuring that they have the tools to comprehend the ecological, economic, and policy arenas in which any given farm exists. And our esteemed Family Farm Forum speaker series brings in several well-known experts on food and farming each semester, attracting a diverse audience of students, farmers, academics, and consumers – guaranteeing a dynamic evening of conversation, often kicked off by a special meal in the dining hall.
We're serious about what we're doing here, but we know how to have fun doing it, too. If you want to talk more about it, come on down to college farm or come visit me while I'm doing chores on my own farm at home. There's still plenty for all of us to learn!

More Information
Maybe the dilapidated garages and all-ages clubs of the East Coast post-hardcore scene of the late 80s is a fitting place to begin our story. That's where the chronicle of our era's ever-humble valedictorian, Ted Leo , really gets interesting, anyway. It was here in bands Citizen's Arrest and Animal Crackers (and later as the main song writer in Chisel) that Ted developed a sharpened political prowess, an assiduous commitment to his Gibson ES-335, an ear for melody, and charisma contagious enough to be considered chemical weaponry. A mod-punk savant in an age where punk (like practically everything intangible we've ever expressed interest in) has been replaced by product. With his latest, Living with the Living , Ted Leo delivers that existentialist ethos to a new crop of rude boys.
For their fifth full-length release (and first with Touch and Go Records), Ted Leo and the Pharmacists met up with Brendan Canty (Fugazi) at Long View Farms to iron out a new set of anthems that arrive with a confident and outspoken immediacy. With Living with the Living , Ted & Co. wipe clean the slate that once held names like Weller, Strummer and Bragg and indulge some of their farthest-reaching musical ambitions.

Can Sarah Palin College be far behind? And yet, laugh all you want, Twitterati, (you especially, madam…!) We all know there are plenty of people out there who are so wingered-up, so terrified of Barack Obama and so thoroughly convinced that Beck is their savior — literally, in the Jesus sense — they'll gladly pony up the dough and pay their favorite grifter to feed them more "scary knowledge" from his drunken nightmares. Hell, Limbaugh's got EIB, doesn't he? And there's that Liberty University that the late Jerry Falwell cooked up … But they're just amateurs. Glenn Beck IS the modern-day Hustle-Man.
Will Bunch points out:
I guess you could call this "the Harvard of right-wing radio universities," in the sense that, well, to my knowledge there aren't any other right-wing radio universities. Unlike Harvard or Yale, where Beck was a half-term (sound familiar?) student in one theology course after his ex-friend Joe Lieberman pulled some strings, Beck U. is strictly a profit deal. Only by paying Glenn Beck Inc. to become an extreme insider ($9.95 a month, or $74.95) can you enroll on Beck's pseudo-cyber-campus. How else do you think Beck expects to sell that $4.25 million manse and move into bigger digs?
At that rate, if he just gets 100,000 ninnies to enroll, Beck is putting an extra $7.5 mil a year in his pocket. Hey, it's the free market. If folks are dumb enough to give him their money, who are we to criticize? We are, however, free to ridicule anyone who shows up toting a BeckU "degree."
UPDATE: Mother Jones suggests some courses. ("Deconstructing The White Culture," perhaps?) And almost forgot to h/t Countdown with Keith Olbermann. I would have thought he was joking about this had Keith not had Will Bunch on…

Next To The Stage: 11 People Who Should Replace Nicki Minaj And Mariah Carey On Idol?- By Bossip Staff Categories: Attention Slores, Hip-Hop Beef, Multi
Celebrities Who Should Host The Next IdolRumor has it that Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey are on the outs at American Idol. Their antics and the show's bad ratings have the people in charge apparently looking for a change. We don't blame them because the beef and crazy antics were a major distraction from the show. But have no fear, Idol people. We've come up with perfect replacements for them! Take a look and see how they'd fit.
Beyonce - She'd be perfect. But she's so politically correct that she might not say what's really on her mind.
Chris Brown - Imagine how nervous the panel would be when these two disagreed. "Oh she can't sing...can she sing better than Karrueche!!!!"
Keyshia Cole - She doesn't know much about singing but we can only imagine the drama she'd bring. It'd be great if she were on there with...
Kelly Rowland - She's a good voice and her and Keyshia would make Nicki and Mariah look like best friends.
Justin Timberlake - He's got the hottest album in the world and never misses. So if anyone is qualified why not him?

Peru State senior Katlyn Donovan completes prestigious public health fellowship at UNMC
(Peru, Neb.) Peru State College (PSC) senior Katlyn Donovan recently completed the highly competitive and prestigious Great Plains Public Health Training Center Student Summer Fellowship Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Public Health.
During her fellowship, Donovan assisted rural Nebraska health departments educate citizens about cancer prevention and obesity. She developed and implemented plans and activities to respond to areas of need, prepared written reports for accreditation activities, and participated in outreach and case management services for populations with little access to care.
Donovan said, "Through my fellowship I was able to expand my knowledge about the public health field and all it offers. It also allowed me to gain 'hands-on' experience, which is a great addition to what I learned in the classroom at Peru State."
Donovan, a Greeley native, is double majoring in sport and exercise science and K-12 physical education and is president of the Physical Education, Activities, and Kinesiology Students (PEAKS) of Peru. She is a member of the Bobcat volleyball team and is an NAIA Daktronics Scholar Athlete.
PSC Associate Professor of Education and Human Performance Lab Coordinator Kyle Ryan said, "Katlyn is indicative of what we have come to expect of the exercise science and physical education majors here at Peru State. She is very much aware of the opportunities available here that will assist her in her chosen career and is always willing to give back to the program without having to be asked. Katlyn has been an integral part of the success we have experienced within the major and in PEAKS, our academic club. It's been a pleasure to have her as a student."
Donovan is the daughter of Tom and Kathy Donovan of Greeley.

I'm learning--at this older age, finally--two things that actually begin to redefine how I live my life.
1. I can't make people happy, and it's wise to stop trying all the time. Folks are responsible for their own moods and their own issues.
2. It doesn't matter whether or not people like me, so it's wise to stop trying to please people all the time. The greatest gift I can give a person is myself--without flattery, people-pleasing, or false encouragement. Take it or leave it.
Why does it take over three decades to find freedom from needing to please and needing to make everybody happy? I'm tired! I'm ready to be myself. On the journey to do this, I find people become disappointed in me and discouraged by my inability to please them. This feels scary, but it also feels like freedom.
Who will this new woman be?

2 New Things I'm Learning
Posted by Heather
1 comment:
Such wise words. When my children complain about others actions being unkind I remind them that you cannot change someone else's behavior. You can, however, be in control of how you react to it. Trying to put a sympathetic spin on it (how sad it must be for them to have such a negative response to this) helps me overcome my need to please.

Micah Mortali, Director of the Kripalu Schools of Yoga and Ayurveda, invites you to bring compassion and full presence to your communication with others. Can you embrace the practice of listening?
The Practice of Listening
Healing a Relationship in the Space Between
By Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt Harville and I assert that the best way to heal a relationship is not to repair the two people, but the Space Between them. So what is this Space Between? The moment you committed to each other, it was born. You can think of it as an energy […]
The Three Keys to a Fulfilling Sex Life
Sex. The word itself piques our interest, whether or not we admit it. How can we not be sensitized to sexuality? Suggestive images are ubiquitous in advertising, and there's no shortage of sexy characters jumping into bed on television and film. All around us, the message is clear: Everyone's having really great sex. Not quite. […]
10 Steps to Reclaim Your Life from Distraction
by Peter Bregman Life is distracting. According to research, people are interrupted, on average, four times an hour. Here's the kicker: The more challenging the task you were working on, the less likely you are to go back to it after the interruption. In other words, we're most likely to leave our most important work […]
Seven Back-to-School Strategies to Help You Stress Less and Simplify Your Life
by, Renée Peterson Trudeau The start of a new school year signifies opportunity, a fresh start, and a chance to do things differently. If you're feeling some anxiety around the all the transitions, juggling, and driving that usually accompany a new school year, take a deep breath, pause, and consider the following ideas for a […]
Life Lessons: Spring Into Connections
Coming out of winter's cold, the earth thaws and so do we. Winter naturally keeps us introspective. Spring, on the other hand, brings out our natural ability to connect and communicate with others.
Here is a simple and elegant system of conscious communication called co-listening, which supports both speaker and listener in clearer, deeper, more connected exchanges. In this model, one person agrees to be the speaker, the other, the listener. For three minutes the speaker simply speaks, expressing his/her feelings, thoughts, and ideas. The listener as the witness remains in silence. When the three minutes are up—use an egg timer or alarm—shift roles. Repeat this for two or three rounds as needed. Regularly used, new depth can be established.
Freedom is offered to both participants. Without comments from another, even well-intended ones, a speaker opens into a fuller range of expression. The listener is freed up to be present, rather than calculating a response. By practicing being present in the moment during communication, deeper connectivity can be reached.

Issuing Corporate Securities - Introduction
The series 55 exam is administered by FINRA and qualifies a person to trade equity and debt securities on an agency or principal basis for a broker dealer. The Series 55 exam will be presented in a 100-question multiple-choice format. Each candidate will have three hours and to complete the exam. A score of 67% or higher is required to pass. The series 7 or series 62 must have been passed prior to taking the series 55 exam. It is recommended that candidates spend at least 40 hours preparing for the exam . The series 55 material has been provided by The Securities Institute to help Investopedia visitors prepare for the exam. In order to successfully complete the exam it is recommended that you read the following material in addition to reading a full textbook and doing as many practice exams as you can. This first chapter will build the foundation upon which the rest of this text is built.
The Securities Act of 1933 was the first major piece of securities industry regulation that was brought about largely as a result of the stock market crash of 1929. Other major laws were also enacted to help prevent another meltdown of the nation's financial system such as The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but we will start our review with the Securities Act of 1933 as it regulates the issuance of corporate securities.
The Securities Act of 1933 was the first major piece of securities industry legislation and it regulates the primary market. The primary market consists exclusively of transactions between issuers of securities and investors. In a primary market transaction, the issuer of the securities receives the proceeds from the sale of the securities. The Securities Act of 1933 requires non-exempt issuers (typically corporate issuers) to file a registration state- ment with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The Registration statement formally known as an S-1 is the issuer's full disclosure document for the Government. The registration statement must contain detailed information relating to the issuer's operations and financial condition and must include:
- A balance sheet dated within 90 days of the filing of the registration statement.
- Profit and loss statements for the last 3 years
- Company's capitalization
- Use of proceeds
- Shareholders owning more than 10% of the company's securities
- Biographical information on the Officers and Directors
The registration statement will be under review by the SEC for a minimum of 20 days. During this time, known as the "cooling off" period, no sales of securities may take place. If the SEC requires additional information regarding the offering, the SEC may issue a deficiency letter or a stop order that will extend the cooling off period beyond the original 20 days. The cooling off period will continue until the SEC has received all of the information it had requested. A Registered Representative may only begin to discuss the potential offering with customers after the filing date.The Prospectus

The Speculation: Google's Project Glass augmented reality goggles will be available as a developers kit in early 2013. If developers get their hands on the product in January or February, a full-fledged product release can't be too far behind, right?
Why it Won't Happen in 2013 Google co-founder Sergey Brin told Bloomberg in June that he would like to have a consumer version of Project Glass "within a year" after releasing the kit to developers. While it's always possible that the kit will come out in January and the product will ship in December, it seems unlikely that such a unique product will make its way from prototype to final that quickly. Don't expect to get your headset until 2014.
Regarding Windows Blue – Microsoft has not denied the reports.
>So, for Windows Blue to launch even as late as Q4 of 2013, Microsoft would have to announce a developer preview or public beta at the
>beginning of the year.
They won't be playing around with that this time around. Blue is coming as either an update or a massive service pack. Think of it this way: Microsoft is in a mad dash to converge Windows Phone, Windows Desktop, Windows RT and to some degree X-Box. To put it a more cynical way: they know their only hope in mobile is to leverage their existing monopoly (desktop) to create another (mobile), which has been the singular business tool MS has employed since the days of DOS. The OSes will be interlinked. To have a mobile phone/tablet OS that only updates once every three years is certain suicide. Windows Phone will need yearly updates and this will mandate Windows Desktop updates too.
There won't be the giant 3+year roll-outs anymore. Think Apple and its more incremental yearly updates. This will be the new Microsoft approach. Whether it's called a new version of the OS, a service pack, a ".5″ release, etc. is to be determined, but it is coming and there's no way MS can finish integrating its product line without this release schedule change. Further point: Sinofsky, the Windows architect, infamous for wanting complete control of his division and anything that touched Windows, was canned a few weeks after Win8 shipped. All the reports said that his need for control was not going to work when the MS strategy was going to be to integrate the desktop, mobile and game divisions. If the next step in integrating is worth firing the man who was once talked about as the next Microsoft CEO, yearly Windows updates are hardly a major change in comparison.

Please stop the slide shows. All of this could easily fit on one scrollable screen. Are you counting clicks for advertisers? This is getting annoying.

Out of interest, were any of these actually "technologies"?
Or do we not know how to say "product" any more because 'technology' gets better SEO?
"the closet to being ready", huh?

Nos High Performance Energy Drink Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
As you have likely noticed, energy drinks are quite popular these days. While some people have replaced their morning coffee with an energy drink, others consume these beverages in the afternoon for a pick-me-up. Put simply, energy drinks and shots are intended to give you a jolt, enhance your focus, and help you keep going. The beverage we will scrutinize in this piece is Nos High Performance Energy Drink. It is sold in a 16-ounce can, like many others are, and it is suitable for people age 18 and older.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Caffeine
- Taurine
- Citric Acid
- Sodium Citrate
- Natural Flavors
- Carbonated Water
- Acacia
- Potassium Sorbate
- Sodium Hexametaphosphate
- Glycerol Ester of Rosin
- L-Theanine
- Sucralose
- Yellow 5
- Calcium Disodium EDTA
- Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) 200
- Yellow 6
- Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 200
- Guarana Extract
Product Features
Nos High Performance Energy Drink is specifically for enhanced mental focus and heightened energy levels. It can be consumed at any time of the day, but is not recommended for after 5PM, since it contains stimulants that can interrupt sleep habits. While this beverage is supposed to improve your performance, it is not intended for weight loss. Nos High Performance Energy Drink is made in the USA, and can be found in corner drugstores, supermarkets, and common convenient stores.
This energy drink provides 210 calories, 54 grams of carbohydrates, and 54 grams of sugar. It also contains 260 milligrams of Caffeine to give you an energy boost. B Vitamins and Guarana are included to increase energy levels as well. Taurine is an amino acid used in Nos High Performance Energy Drink, and is found in most energy drinks on the market today.
- You get B Vitamins from Nos High Performance Energy Drink.
- This beverage should help wake you up and boost your energy levels.
- This product is not suitable for people under the age of 18.
- This beverage has 260 milligrams of caffeine, which is a lot.
- Nos High Performance Energy Drink may lead to side effects like rapid heartbeat, jitteriness, headache, and anxiety.
- This energy drink may become addictive.
If you feel you do not have enough energy to complete your daily routine, then you may be in search of a beverage like Nos High Performance Energy Drink. After all, this beverage will give you a fat dose of Caffeine and B Vitamins to heighten your energy levels. Then again, you can also expect to experience a crash later in the day. This is due to the high levels of sugar and caffeine used in Nos High Performance Energy Drink. Just be sure to avoid drinks like this near bedtime, because they can certainly cause insomnia.

Step 1: You'll Need:
Two Granny Smith Apples (or any type of apple you like)
One cup of chocolate chips
Some sprinkles
If you have candy melts, you can use those in place of the chocolate chips and shortening.
A Melon Baller
Bowl for melting the chocolate
Parchment paper
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
The chocolate chips and shortening can also be melted using a double broiler.
Step 3: Prepare the Apple for Dipping
When you have finished, stick a toothpick into each one.
Step 4: Dip the Apples
Grab an apple piece and dip it into the chocolate.
Let the excess chocolate drip off and set the apple on the parchment paper.
Repeat until they have all been dipped.
Step 5: Decorate
Or, you could leave them just the way they are.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge has overturned an $8.5 million verdict awarded to a former "Price is Right" model in a pregnancy discrimination case and says a new trial is necessary.
City News Service reports Judge Kevin Brazile ruled Tuesday that he didn't properly instruct the jury that ultimately sided 9-3 in Brandi Cochran's favor last year.
Cochran alleged she was discriminated against after becoming pregnant.
Brazile determined he should have instructed the jury to determine whether pregnancy discrimination was a substantial factor in the producers' decision to keep her from rejoining the cast after her child was born. He cited the divided verdict as a factor warranting a new trial.
Attorneys for Cochran and "Price is Right" producers FremantleMedia did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday.

Political science is a social science discipline concerned with the study of the state, government and politics. Aristotle defined it as the study of the state.It deals extensively with the theory and practice of politics, and the analysis of political systems and political behavior. Political scientists "see themselves engaged in revealing the relationships underlying political events and conditions, and from these revelations they attempt to construct general principles about the way the world of politics works."Political science intersects with other fields; including anthropology, public policy, national politics, economics, international relations, comparative politics, psychology, sociology, history, law, and political theory. Political science is commonly divided into three distinct sub-disciplines which together constitute the field: political philosophy, comparative politics and international relations.

Pedicures are so easy & quick following our easy step by step guide to beautiful feet and perfectly groomed toe nails that last.
What you will need:
Foot Spa or Square bucket
Liquid Soap or Body Wash
Pumice stone or Foot File
Tow Nail clippers
Light nail file
Orange Stick - Cuticle pusher
Nail Buffer
Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Wool make up pads
or Pedicure Toe Separator
Base Coat
Nail Polish in desired colour
Top Coat
The Mini Pedi...Here's How
Before you start, gather everything you need from the list below. Set up a towel on the ground near a chair, then place your foot spa or bucket on this after you have filled it with warm water and liquid soap or Body wash.
1. Start your pedicure by soaking your feet in your foot Spa or bucket. Soak your feet for 5 to 10 minutes. Grab your Pumice stone or Foot File and remove any dead skin from the soles & heals of your feet by scrubbing them. Put your feet back in the water to clean any the dean skin.
2. Next put your feet onto the towel and dry them off. Move the foot spa or bucket away and lie the towel back on the ground.
3. Clip or file your toe nails into a neat and short length. Square shape is best for avoiding ingrown toe nails etc.
4. Next gently push back your cuticles if they are extending over your nails, if they are not its best to leave them alone.
5. Next grab your nail buffer (skip this step if you want your polish to last a bit longer), the nail buffing blocks usually have 3 to 4 sides start with the more abrasive side and buff each nail and work through until you get to the smoothest side of the buffing block for a nice shine.
6. Soak a cotton make up pad in the nail polish remover and clean each toe nail, this will ensure any old polish & oil is removed from the nail and will help the base coat adhere to the nail.
7. Put the Cotton wool between your toes or use a foam Pedicure Toe Separator to keep them separated and stop your polish getting bumped from toes rubbing together while your applying the polish.
8. The Base Coat is essential for a long lasting polish, so apply a coat of the base coat to each nail.
9. Allow the base coat to dry for a few minutes then start applying your nail colour. Apply a light coat of colour. There are many rules as to the correct way to apply nail colour, but apply lightly and which ever way feels comfortable for you.
10. Leave the first colour coat to dry for a few minutes, then apply a second coat.
11. Finish with a top coat. Quick drying Top Coats are handy when in a hurry
12. Saying that, its better to allow a good amount of time for your nail polish to set (about an hour if possible).I know its hard to stay still this long, but allowing enough time after you have finished painting will give you a perfect finish!
13. Apply moisturiser after the polish is completely dry

Kendell Williams
June 17, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia true freshman Kendell Williams joins Arkansas State's Sharika Nelvis, Texas' Courtney Okolo and Oregon's Jenna Prandini as the four nominees for the Honda Sports Award for women's track and field, according to a recent announcement by THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).
The Honda Sports Award is presented annually by the CWSA to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies "the best of the best in collegiate athletics".
The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2014 Honda Cup. The nominees were chosen by a group of experts representing the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The Honda Sports award winner for track and field will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote. The Honda Cup winner will be announced during the live telecast of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards show presented by Honda at 8 p.m. on Monday, June 30, at the USC Founders Club at Galen Center in Los Angeles, Calif.
Williams, a native of Marietta, Ga., won both the NCAA pentathlon title indoors and the NCAA heptathlon title outdoors to become a two-time First Team All-American in her first season. Last week in Eugene, Ore., at the outdoor Nationals, Williams rebounded after being tripped and falling to the track in heptathlon's final event, the 800 meters, to clock a time necessary to clinch her victory.
Williams set American Junior (under-20), World Junior and collegiate records in the pentathlon indoors with a score of 4,635. Outdoors, she established an American Junior record in the heptathlon after scoring 6,018 points to win the Bulldog Heptathlon in Athens. The Kell High School graduate set a collegiate, NCAA Championships meet and school record with her 12.99 in the heptathlon's 100 hurdles last week.
Named the USTFCCCA Indoor National Women's Field Athlete of the Year and the Southeastern Conference Female Field Athlete of the Year both indoors and outdoors, Williams also garnered USTFCCCA South Region Women's Field Athlete of the Year honors both indoors and outdoors. In addition, she is a nominee for The Bowerman Award, which is track and field's version of the Heisman Trophy.
With her sweep of both the 2014 NCAA pentathlon and heptathlon titles, she becomes only the third person and only the sixth instance in NCAA history who has won both championships in the same season.
Five other student-athletes from the sport of track and field have gone on to win the prestigious Honda Cup, including Jackie Joyner (UCLA, 1985) and most recently Angela Williams (USC, 2002).
THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for 37 years, recognizing superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its sponsorship in 1986, Honda has provided more than $2.8 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women's athletics programs at the institutions.

I'm turning 35 today. 35 is a weird age. It feels like a milestone birthday; like I'm turning the corner into adulthood for good. Turning 35, it seems, is not without complications. I feel like I became part of the old folk whose cool is threatened by youngsters. Anxious, as I've so much left to achieve and experience.
And yet, I am following my passions and there is not much more I'd want. People have asked me what I'd like for my birthday. I'd love it if you gave me one of the following two things:
- Give me the gift of a patch. I'd love to see Drupal 8 come to fruition while I'm 35. Drupal 8 will help make a meaningful difference in the world.
- Give a donation to Drupal's Movember team to help fight prostate and testicular cancer. Cancer is a murderer, and I'd like to see it go away.
My first vivid memory of joining the team at Acquia was about 25 of us sitting around a conference room table singing Happy Birthday to you through the speakerphone during a company update. It's been 4 years since then and I've long left the company now but it's a memory I'll always have because it was the start of a great journey with the company and my first experience with how tight the team was with people all the way to the top (and in Belgium, at the time).
Happy Birthday, Dries. Thanks for Drupal, the memories, and giving a guy a chance to pursue his dreams at a startup even when all signs pointed to my never getting past contractor status. There's a lot I miss about you guys but, most of all, it's the feeling we had back then building the company from nothing and turning it into the force it was when I left. At 35, you've changed the lives of millions of people. That's one hell of a legacy, brother.
Now I better get on #1 and #2 to give you a proper thank you. :)
My thirty sixth year is coming to an end. Subconsciously I must not have liked 35 as I spent much of the year telling people I was 36. I couldn't be bothered to figure out my actual birthday.
I think part of it is that our "adult" friends are having big parties for 40. We are old!
I agree, filling our lives with children and passion keeps us young!
Happy birthday, and thanks for creating Drupal
Happy Birthday, Dries.
Happy Birthday Dries. You have created a great comunity with Drupal, thanks.
P.S. My birthday is also today (turning 21).
Happy birthday Dries, love Drupal community.
Happy birthday Dries. Many many happy returns of the day.
November 20, 2013
Happy Birthday, Dries. You are just getting started! Many happy returns.
Happy Birthday, Dries
You deserve a great Birthday, cause you have done a great thing by offering up Drupal as an OpenSource software. It has been a life changer for many like me. Therefore Happy Birthday and do Have a Blast!
As we observe your birthday now,
Your cake and gifts don't matter much.
These common things aren't really you,
Ribbons, paper hats and such.
We celebrate a person who
Brings happiness to everyone,
Someone who gives more than he gets,
And fills our lives with joy and fun.
So Happy Birthday, Dries and many more!
We hope you make it to a hundred and two,
Because we cannot even dream
What life would be like without Drupal and you.

Chef Peter Platt and Meredith Kennard own The Old Inn on the Green in New Marlborough, MA, just outside of Great Barrington. (oldinn.com)
INTERVIEW: "When people think of the Inn, it's hard to separate the historic nature of the property from the restaurant. It was built in 1760 as a stagecoach stop, and to this day we accept travelers. People have their dinners downstairs and retire to their rooms upstairs. Our dining rooms are entirely lit by candles. So, when people dine here they really get the feeling of stepping back in time. They find that the cuisine here is contemporary, but the surroundings are historic."
"Our service, and the nature of the food and the way we cook all lend itself to a certain casual elegance that works really well at the Inn. I think it also is in tune with the way this whole country is going. We've always been this sort of a place where you don't have to feel like you've got to get dressed up, and yet you come with expectations of a wonderful wine list and excellent, extraordinary food. The cuisine here was described once as food that you can eat every day. And, I think that's a nice way to look at it."
"In terms of the simple preparations that we have here, they are grounded in quality of ingredients and the seasonal nature of our menu. We change … we can change items every day: that reflects what's fresh and what's good and what we feel like cooking. In the meantime, as an owner, I listen to the reaction of our guests and the reaction of the wait staff and try to please our customers."
"It's a personal cuisine. It's a cuisine that we feel like cooking. So, we're not trying to fit into a certain category. Sometimes we have Asian influenced ideas, sometimes they're Central American ideas, sometimes they're European ideas, sometimes they're entirely local ideas. If we're doing something with wild ramps and local bacon and shad roe, wild asparagus – those are all things that are native to this area."
"I enjoy cooking food in a simple fashion, so the flavors of the chicken or the meat or the fish come through very clearly. I don't like masking the flavors with a lot of seasoning or heavy sauces. I like serving fish in broths or chicken with reductions made out of the stock that we get. They're flavored with herbs and done very simply."
"I cook behind the line, and I cook every night. I get pleasure from cooking things properly, sending them out just the way I like it, and hopefully getting good feedback from customers. We do a lot of repeat business, and I think for certain people they really like what we do."

Group Name:
Fresh Start Cleanse starting Jan. 7, 2013
This group is for those starting the Peer Trainer Fresh Start Cleanse on Jan. 7, 2013. I am looking for support and encouragement during the cleanse.
Last posted:
Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 12:08 PM
Other Info:
I am 49.5 and trying to be a vegan/plant only diet for a few years. My husband recently convinced me to add fish. I tried it for about 10-days and felt awful so now I am going back to vegan. My health has not been good so I am hoping to turn things around in 2013 too! I have never "played" social networking. I have read that we can experience success if we take logging/journaling with each other seriously. That said, I have not been compliant but feeling overwhelmed by all the e-mails, videos, audio files and documents. I think I will try prioritizing the support part and do the other as I can.
