Football: Coach Holgorsen Press Conference
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University football coach Dana Holgorsen's news conference following the Aug. 11 practice.
Today was another day. It's part of the process – you have to stay the course. The guys are out competing and playing hard; their attitude is good. We definitely got something out of it.
On the team's injuries …
Julian Miller turned his ankle up and will be day-to-day. Darwin Cook got a strained muscle, but he'll be fine. If a guy's in a red shirt, he'll probably miss practice and will be day-to-day.
On the team's third quarterback…
We have one. I can't tell you his name, I don't know where he's from, I don't know if he's left- or right-handed. I don't know anything about him. He's going through the acclimation period where he can't put pads on right now. We'll figure it out tomorrow. We need as many arms as we can get.
On the offense's progress…
I feel all right about it, not great, but we've been through it twice now, and we can start to evaluate going into the third set of three's. We'll bunch it all together tomorrow to get a better idea of where we're at with the offense. If you mesh everything together and put it all on them at once, then things might get hay-wired a bit. We'll know more after tomorrow's practice.
We're slowing it down a little. Geno (Smith) had everything coming at him so fast, but he's got good body language and tempo. He wants to do everything so fast. He sometimes does it at a pace that you can't think very much, and as a quarterback, you have to think. Paul (Millard) is the same way. He's a sharp kid, but when you try to get a lot out of him and make him do it really fast, then he can blow a gasket, which he's been known to do. We slowed it down a little bit, and he made progress today.
On the possibility of redshirting Paul Millard…
It's always good to redshirt if you can. If you don't need someone, which means you've got good depth, then it's preferable to redshirt. The days are gone when you redshirt the first- or second-best quarterback. If he's good enough, then you play him. If he's the third-best quarterback, you redshirt him. Obviously, Paul (Millard) is second, which means you've got to have your second guy good to go at all times. That's part of the challenge of being a backup quarterback - to have the mental capability of being extremely motivated and ready to play at any point, because an injury could happen at the drop of a hat. He's doing well; we'll play him.
I'd be surprised if we didn't play about 12 true freshmen this year. We brought in 16 this year, three of which are offensive linemen, which I doubt will play, That puts you down to about 13, which all 13 might play.
On the preference of sticking with the starters over the backups…
You want to give your second- and third-teamers as much time as you can. It depends on what they bring to the table. If the top two are capable of bringing production to the table, then we'll play them both. The defensive line will be rolling all the time. The second-team corners will play in nickel situations. The second-team safeties are going to play in specific situations. There are a bunch of running backs that will need to play.
You want to get guys that aren't in the rotation somehow as give them as many steps as you can. Every game is different.
On the pace of the offense going downfield…
It depends on the feel of the game. I've been in games where we put our second team in there and just told them to play football. That means to just play at a normal tempo and just go out and play. I've been in games where it's gotten out of hand. We don't typically change what we do offensively. That wouldn't be fair to the kids out there playing. You don't want to put them in a situation where you get out of the norm of what you typically do.
To slow things down, I usually just call plays really slow. That's always fun to see a quarterback that's used to receiving a quick signal have to stand there and ask, "So, what's the play?" That's how we slow it down if we need to. If the game's tight, everyone talks about the four-minute offense. The four-minute offense mean's that you're winning. If you're up by two scores, then you need to use the four-minute offense to be smart and try to milk the clock. You have three plays to do your best to get the first down. If you don't, then you try to at least take two to three minutes off the clock.
If you're up by one score and there's only 3-4 minutes remaining in the game, I've seen offenses try to do something different than what they did to get in the lead. All of a sudden, they're three-and-out, and they're punting. The other team then has 2-3 minutes and only down by a few points to try to win it. That can get you, so we'll have to be careful about that.
On the difference of being head coach compared to offensive coordinator…
I've given that no thought whatsoever. It will be a new experience for me. Everyone has a time to be a first-game or first-time head coach, right? You've got to be in that situation at some point. I've been on the sidelines enough and been around a lot of good coaches, so I think I've got a good handle on it.
I've hired several great coaches to help me out. They can coach the guys on the sidelines, get them on the phones and talk and all that stuff. I've been in situations where I'd have to go all the way down the line from five offensive linemen and all the receivers and explain to them what is going on and get them all on the same page. I don't think I need to do that based on a lot of the guys that I've hired. If I need to talk with Jeff (Casteel) about a certain situation, I will.
On the progress of Geno Smith…
Today was better for Geno. I don't have the numbers yet, but Geno had a good day today. He had his best day so far. He was calmer, and he operated better. The communication was better. He was communicating with everyone and scanning the field. He played better because of that. We were pressing on him a little too much the first few days. The good news is that we didn't make that mistake two games into the season. He had a good day today.

Volume 6, Issue 7—September 25, 2011
This Week in Sports
The Red Sox debacle continues, with losses of the majority of games to last-place Baltimore. The only saving grace is that Tampa Bay also lost. Now the Sox are playing the hated Yankees, and dropped two out of three, winning the third in the 14th inning. This means they are 1 game ahead for the wild card slot. Their remaining games are against Baltimore with the Rays having to play the Yankees, which would normally bode well for their chances. Still, considering how badly they've played lately, I'd say the odds are even at best.
On a positive note, Chelsea has won two more this week—in the Carling Cup third round against Fulham 4-3 on penalty kicks, and in a league game 4-1 against Swansea City (with Torres even scoring a goal before getting red-carded). Since Manchester United only gained a draw, Chelsea is in third place, 3 points behind Manchester United and Manchester City. The other good news is that Didier Drogba is back after his concussion, and even scored a goal.
Listen and Learn This (or Why I Love My iPhone, Part 483)
I got this cool app for my iPhone last week called MovieVault, which has on it some 1,000 old public domain movies. The main reason I got it was that there were a bunch of Roy Rogers movies on the app, but as I was going through the listings I saw two movies from 1954 featuring Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, which I'd never seen before. I love old science fiction, so I put one on, and I was hooked. It turns out that there was a TV series called Rocky Jones, Space Ranger that was first aired in 1954 and ran for 39 episodes. For the most part, three episodes made up each story, which were then edited together into a movie.
If you've ever watched a TV show (especially one meant for kids) from 1954, you know you shouldn't expect much. TV was in its infancy, the writing was terrible, the special effects were non-existent, and shows were usually broadcast live so all that remains is a poor quality kinescope. While the writing for Rocky Jones was pretty trite (and scientifically horrible), the rest of it was a pleasant surprise. The shows were shot on film, so the viewing and sound quality were quite good. The real surprise was the special effects, which were excellent for 1954. Whenever the spaceship would take off, they'd show it in animation against a painted backdrop—both very well done. The inside shots of the rocket were what people in the 1950's thought the future would look like—lots of switches and oscilloscopes, with the first forward viewing screen and whooshing automatic cabin doors that we wouldn't see again until Star Trek 15 years later.
The crew consisted of the all-American Rocky Jones, his comic-relief co-pilot Winky (no explanation ever given for the goofy name), ship's navigator Vena Ray (a proto-Lt. Uhura type blonde with a mini-skirt uniform), elderly scientist Professor Newton, and a 10 year old boy named Bobby (Prof. Newton's ward). Rocky and Vena are shown below.
The first storyline ("Beyond the Curtain of Space") has Rocky and Winky first meeting Vena and going on a mission to rescue Dr. Newton and Bobby from an evil ruler of another planet. As any 1954 boy could have predicted, Rocky was reluctant to allow Vena to join the mission—after all, space was no place for a girl! Vena puts Rocky in his place and ultimately earns his respect and a place on the crew. In an unusual twist for 1954, the evil ruler of the other planet was also a woman, the lovely Cleolanta (a brunette whose costume consisted of a tiara and a low-cut evening gown). Various space flights, rocket battles, and action ensues, but no person ever gets shot with a ray gun—the fighting is all done with good ol' fisticuffs. Did Rocky succeed and save the day? Well, you'll have to watch the show yourself to find out. Several episodes are available online by searching www.archive.org, and they're all great. I ordered the full series of DVD's on eBay, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.
Changes in Promotion and Tenure Requirements, Part II
Last Thursday, we had an open forum on campus about the changes in the BoR promotion and tenure requirements and to discuss our current promotion and tenure procedures. While it may be that this is all the result of a clerical error downtown (we're waiting to find out), the prudent thing to do is to assume that the procedures are correct as written. Thus, we'll be implementing the BoR changes according to the draft document that was sent out on Sept. 16 (which most folks at the forum thought was reasonable in its approach). Affected faculty (those going up for promotion to associate professor or for tenure who don't have the terminal degree) can submit additional material addressing the changes in requirements to their chair. Peer committees are asked to give them up to two additional weeks to submit these materials, and also to take them into account in committee deliberations and decisions. Chairs, School Committees, Deans, and the VPAA should similarly extend their deadlines. Any questions should be directed to my office.
The general discussion about promotion and tenure procedures focused on two issues—there are some contradictions in our policies regarding lecturers that the Faculty Senate has agreed to take up, and about gaining greater transparency in how decisions are made as the applications go "up the line". One suggestion was made that an annual recap of issues that arise in promotion and tenure cases be prepared, and distributed to the entire faculty. It's a good idea, and we'll implement it starting this year.
A Straighter Line
There was an interesting article in last week's Chronicle about StraighterLine, a company that offers online courses to students for $99 a month. Currently, two dozen courses are offered in the areas you'd expect: first year composition, math up to calculus, social science, and business. Current enrollment is 4,000 (compared to 1,000 last year). StraighterLine has gotten some good ink as of late, and Carol Twigg (from the Center for Academic Transformation—her name has appeared in several previous issues of the BLAB) is on its Board. The courses have gotten generally good reviews, and the students seem to be satisfied with what they're getting.
A big problem has developed for the company, however: some of the relatively few "bricks and mortar" universities that agreed to accept StraighterLine's courses in transfer credit have pulled out. The list of universities accepting StraighterLine credits was never that large to begin with—it consisted of 21 universities, many of which were for-profit online universities themselves (Capella, DeVry, Kaplan). The four partners who pulled out included Assumption College (a Catholic college in Worcester, MA), Fort Hays State University (a university in Kansas that seems to have the most liberal transfer credit policies in the US), La Salle University (a Catholic university in Philadelphia), and the University of Akron. StraighterLine's argues that the pullout was caused by conflict of interest—colleges are afraid that their brand will be smeared if they associate themselves with an online for-profit source. StraighterLine is probably at least partially right about that.
I was looking to see who was left on the list of partners, and there's a certain sameness to many of them. They include Charter Oak State College (CT), Colorado State University Global Campus, Thomas Edison State College (NJ), and Western Governors University (4 different versions). All of these are a relatively new innovation—units of a state university system that is aimed at adult students and offer most of their courses online. Western Governors University is a conglomerate version of this (though aimed at all students) from several western states, and has now spread into Indiana and Texas.
The real surprise on the list to me was Granite State College. As a New Hampshire resident for 21 years and as a former rep on the New Hampshire higher education consortium, this caught my eye because I had never heard of it before. A quick search revealed that this was the College for Lifelong Learning under a new name, and was now offering courses both online and at small locations around the state. They seem to be tightly affiliated with the community college system of New Hampshire (also a new name—back in 2005 when I was last there, they were called technical colleges).
These are units of their respective state university systems, which would lend some legitimacy to StraighterLine's courses, but it also seems that none of the more traditional units in those states (like the University of Connecticut or the University of New Hampshire) grant transfer credit to StraighterLine—at least none are on the list.
So what's the big deal? StraighterLine is small, as are the places that will transfer their credits. Should we be worried? I'd say "yes", for several reasons: first, these online institutions are growing quickly. Universities that don't have strong online offerings will ultimately lose market share to those that do, even within their own university systems.
Second, these institutions center around courses and programs that can easily and cheaply be taught online—core courses mostly; and degrees in business, criminal justice, the social sciences, and related areas. These are the low cost end of the academic spectrum. Part of the reason that state universities like SPSU can offer degrees in engineering, ET, computing, etc. at relatively low prices is that their higher cost is averaged with lower cost core courses. If students were to take their core courses at low-cost for-profit places like StraighterLine, the average cost per course at the state universities would shoot up, with no additional money to compensate.
Third, why are these courses so cheap? First, they've targeted the cheaper to offer courses, as mentioned above. Another reason is that StraighterLine (and other for-profits) use predominantly part-time faculty at low pay—faculty who also don't get any say in StraighterLine's policies. So, while their course quality is good now (or at least they claim it is), for how long will that continue?
StraighterLine says it will lobby states to liberalize their transfer policies, and compel colleges to accept their credits. Will this effort succeed? Stay tuned…

What happened to the project. Does development D2B-Interface?
I was able to force the CD in of my radio with a different method :
I used a USB to I2C interface : http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/usb_i2c_tech.htm
- I opened my radiosat and soldered wires (I used telephonic wires cause it was the only small enought wire I had at this time) on the I2C bus by using the test point -> you need a very small tip on your soldering iron. You have 3 wires : SDA, SCL, Ground
- Those wires goes to the « USB to I2C » interface.
- I've done a small program in C that tell constantly to the TDA7342 to use the IN3 input (cause when the main processessor make a change, it won't tell to the I2C interface)
- The Audio left / right / ground are plugged on the CD connector at the back of the head unit.
And that's works ! (but it's not really user friendly)
There are many drawbacks :
- You need a computer.
- When the USB to I2C interface is not powered by the computer, the autoradio don't work (due to limitation of the I2C protocol -> I can give the details if someone is interested). You can solve it by putting a switch or a relay (powered from the USB 5V) between the interface and the I2C wires.
- When you change the volume / loudness / bass control / there is a 1 to 2 secondes periode where the IN3 is lost and you hear back to the radio or tape unit. -> It's normal the head unit take the exclusive control of the input selector before the interface can take it back,
- Sometimes when you increase or decrease the volume, it go to max (quite surprising), -> I think messages from head unit and interface colide and produce this weird setting.
- The computer can't enter sleep mode while my program run (and if it try, you gonna struck your computer with the « going to sleep » screen). ->It's because my program don't take care of « go to sleep » message (I have to rewrite the code to handle it )
- If the head unit is on FM band when you force the IN3 input, the RDS / trafic advice / FM mode / can produce « Bip » or small cut. -> the solution is to put the head unit on AM band.
- You can't use directly a sector powered device with the IN3 -> you need to use a galvanic isolator or an optic isolator on the I2C lines and on the audio lines (or you gonna crash the interface and heard a big blast from speakers)
I have not release it because my method is not user friendly; you have to put your radio to piece, weld wire, you need a computer, my software is unstable and not finished.
But if someone want's informations I can provide the C souce, the executable for windows (still in alpha but can work), and maybe pics (if can find them)
NB : It' been a while since my last english post -> sorry for mistakes
What happened to the project. Does development D2B-Interface?
Hello to everyone,
Maybe this topic is already dead, but I am now playing with this unit and I can share some findings.
- As jedi83 wrote in previous post, TDA7342 is used for audio signal processing.
- Connecting AUX to IN3 (CD input) needs emulation of D2B communication to enable it.
This gave me simple idea, why wouldn't we use IN2 (tape input). Actually, who in these days use cassetes .
- IN2 is enabled by inserting cassete into unit. That means, some kind of switch must be responsible for selecting IN2 input.
- I found simple mechanic switch probably responsible for this. It is present on PCB on tape module and is connected to 2 signal cables on ribbon cable which lead to main microchip 87cm21f.
If that switch is really responsible for selecting IN2, final solution is quite easy.
- Interrupt original IN2 tape input on TDA7342 and add AUX cable instead.
- Remove whole tape module (optional, but why to keep it inside)
- If 3.5 mm jack connector with inner switch is used, this switch can be connected to two signal cables on ribbon cable. When external device is connected with cable, jack switch is triggered and IN2 should be selected automatically. Alternatively, simple switch could be added to front panel of radio unit.
This solution is still NOT tested, as I have lot of other work to do. But if I am correct with above, you can have AUX input on your radio.
I am very happy about the progress in the subject. I hope to get a good result.

Sun-dried tomato, spinach & mozzarella blintz souffle
By Tali Simon | May 25, 2014
I'm parting with my Sunday menu plan tradition to share something absurdly delicious with you. The last two times I made blintz souffles (last Rosh HaShanah and last year just before Shavuos), they were the classic sweet kind. Those are good, too. But this savory blintz souffle is really something. I'm going to go so far as to say that this is one of my favorite dishes on the blog. We're talking out of 400+ recipes, guys.
And good news: Blinztes really aren't difficult. You can have these wrappers done in no time — I mean, it takes like 1 minute for each one to cook — and then it's just a matter of filling, folding, lining them up, and pouring the custard over the top.
If you're looking for a special main dish this Shavuos, I really, really think you should put sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella on your shopping list.
- One year ago: {Lightened-up!} potato broccoli gratin
- Two years ago: Cheesy pierogi lasagna
- Three years ago: Adventures with a babka
Yield: Serves 6-8
Blintz wrappers:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp oil (from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- Butter or additional oil, to cook the wrappers
- 370 grams (13 oz) sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 4 cups loosley packed fresh spinach
- 180 grams (6.5 oz) mozzarella, log or shredded
- 3 Tbsp oil, divided (from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes or olive oil)
- 2 cups sour cream (I like 9%)
- 6 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp dired thyme
- 1 tsp cornstarch
1. Make the blintz batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, water, milk, eggs, 1 Tbsp oil, garlic, salt, and thyme. (I whisk the batter again after every few blinztes to make sure it stays un-lumpy.)
2. Cook the blintz wrappers: Heat a 6-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a touch of butter/oil. Pour 1/8 cup of batter into the center of the pan, and immediately tilt the pan gently so the batter covers the bottom of it in a thin layer. Cook for 45-60 seconds, or until the edges are dry. Use a spatula to flip it and cook the second side for another 30 seconds. Transfer it to a plate and repeat until all of the batter is used. Add butter/oil to the pan between blinztes as needed.
3. Prepare the fillings: Place the spinach leaves in the hot skillet and saute for about a minute over medium heat, or until the spinach reduces significantly but still maintains a nice green color. (You might need to do this in 2 batches if you're using the 6-inch skillet.) Use a spoon to squeeze out excess liquid and set aside. If you're using a log of mozzarella, slice it into rounds. Pull out your jar of sun-dried tomatoes and open it on up. Nice work.
4. Preheat the oven: Turn the oven to 350 F/180 C.
5. Fill the blinztes: Place two sun-dried tomatoes, a spoonful of spinach, and a slice of mozzarella (or a small handful of shredded mozzarella) in the center of a blintz wrapper. Fold the left side in towards the middle, fold the top down towards the middle, fold the bottom up towards the middle, and then roll the whole thing over to the left. Grease a 9×13 dish with 1 Tbsp oil and line up the filled blintzes inside as you go, forming 3 rows of 6 blintzes each.
6. Make the custard and assemble: In a medium bowl (you can use the empty bowl from the blintz batter), whisk together the remaining 2 Tbsp oil, sour cream, eggs, salt, thyme, and cornstarch. Pour the custard over the rows of blintzes and gently tap the dish against a table/counter to even out the top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and starting to brown. This dish works beautifully when stored in the fridge and reheated the next day.

fiTToRN Ys United States Patent C) 3,275,868 APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MASSES F HOT IONISED GAS AND AMPLIFYING RANDOM FLUCTUATIONS Ronald Leslie Ferrari, Stanmore, and Alan Reddlsh, Pm-
ner, England, assignors to The M-O Valve Company Limited, London, England Filed Nov. 13, 1963, Ser. No. 323,382 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Nov. 14, 1962, 43,087/ 62 1 Claim. (Cl. 313-63) This invention relates to method and apparatus for generating masses of hot ionised gas. Such methods may be of interest, for example, in connection with experiments on controlled thermonuclear reactions.
The invention consists in a method of generating a mass of hot ionised gas in which a stream of gas ions is caused to travel over a considerable distance in proximity to a medium which is capable of propagating waves of a type which can interact with Waves propagated along the stream of ions with a phase velocity directed in the same sense as, but of lower value than, the mean velocity of the stream. The system constituted by the stream of ions and said medium is such that by means of such in interaction there occurs amplification of waves which are set up in the system by virtue of thermal fluctuations of the motion of the ions. As a result, the thermal energy of the ions is increased at the expense of the energy of directed motion of the ions so that a mass of hot ionised .gas is obtained at the downstream end of the region over which the interaction occurs.
In effect, the invention is based on the concept of amplification of thermal noise present in the stream of ions by processes akin to those utilised in travelling wave electron tubes. The invention may be further explained as follows.
Consider a stream of gas ions moving with a mean velocity U. The stream may for example be generated by providing within a gas-filled vessel a first electrode system within which a gas discharge is arranged to occur and a second electrode system adapted to set up an electrostatic field which draws positive ions from the region of the discharge and accelerates them to the required velocity; the stream may be maintained in a coherent form by means of external fields, for example a uniform magnetic field directed parallel to the required direction of motion, or where the ions are positive, as will usually be the case, by the space charge neutralisation effects of an equal number of electrons, or possibly by a combination of both these means.
It is known that a variety of wave motions may be propagated along such a stream of ions. If, in a stationary ion system corresponding to the stream of ions, the phase velocity (at a given frequency F) for one particular type of wave motion has a value V less than U, then in the moving system there will be two possible corresponding waves respectively having phase velocities (relative to a stationary observer) of value (U+V) and (UV) both directed in the same sense as the motion of the stream; these two waves will be respectively referred to as the fast wave and the slow Wave.
Now suppose that the stream of ions travels over a considerable distance in proximity to a medium which is capable of propagating waves of a type which can interact with aslow wave propagated along the stream of ions, this medium being either stationary or moving in the same sense as the stream of ions with a velocity less than the phase velocity of the relevant slow wave, and being such that at the frequency F the phase velocity of the relevant type of wave in the medium is approximately equal to the phase velocity of the slow wave in the stream of ions.
Then any disturbance at the frequency F in the combined system constituted by the stream of ions and said medium will grow in space in the direction of motion of the stream due to interaction between a slow wave in the stream of ions and a substantially synchronous wave propagated in said medium in the same sense as the motion of the stream.
Examples of media which may support waves of suitable types for interaction with the stream of ions are as follows:
(a) A quasi-stationary plasma (that is a region of ionised gas containing substantially equal concentrations of positive ions and free electrons) disposed in a magnetic field directed parallel to the direction of motion of the stream of ions, this plasma possibly being generated by the action of the stream itself;
(b) A second stream of ions moving in the same sense as the first but at a lower mean velocity such that a fast wave in the second stream has the same phase velocity as a slow wave in the first stream;
(c) A delay line of a kind such as is utilised in travelling wave tubes.
For any specific system the interaction phenomenon will be observable over some finite range of frequencies, and in any particular case a knowledge of the types of wave involved and the coupling between them will make it possible to calculate the relevant range of frequencies and the gain obtainable Within this range by means of known thereory such as is applied to travelling wave tubes. In this connection attention is drawn to the following publications:
(1) Article by R. L. Ferrari beginning at page 1495 of the Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Ionization Phenomena in Gases, 1961, published by the North Holland Publishing Co., Amsterdam.
(2) Article by A. F. Haefi beginning at page 4 of vol- 1 me 37 (1949) of the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers.
(3) Article by J. R. Pierce beginning at page 980 of volume 37 (1949) of the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers.
(4) Pages 214 to 255 of the book by A. H. W. Beck entitled Space Charge Waves and published in 1958 by Pergammon Press.
It will be appreciated that the stream of ions will initially be at some finite temperature such that there are random thermal fluctuations of the motion of the ions in the stream. As is illustrated by Nyquists noise theorem (see Physical Review, volume 32, page such fluctuations may be regarded as constituting noise signals present in the stream of ions and any such signals having frequencies within the range for which the interaction process occurs will be amplified by the mechanism referred to above. As a result, the energy of random motion of the ions will be increased (at the expense of the energy of directed motion of the stream), so that a mass of hot ionised gas will be obtained at the downstream end of the region over which the interaction occurs. It will be further appreciated that, within limits imposed by the occurrence of phenomena other than the interaction process referred to above, the longer the interaction region the hotter will be the resultant mass of ionised gas.
One method in accordance with the invention will now be described, by Way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows an apparatus for carrying out the method.
Referring to the drawing, the apparatus includes a hollow, generally cylindrical, glass envelope 1 within one end of which is housed an ion gun 2 arranged to direct a beam of positive ions along the envelope, towards a and a pair of disc-shaped metal cathodes 7, of diameter 5 centimetres, disposed closely adjacent the anode 6, one at each end of the anode 6, in planes perpendicular to the axis of the anode 6. All but one of the cathodes 7 have circular apertures 8 of diameter. one centimetre at their centres. The ion sources 4 are disposed :within the envelope 1 at a Spacing of one centimetre from one another with their anodes 6 in line and coaxial with the envelope 1,-the cathode 7 not having an aperture at its centre being furthest from the collector electrode 3.
The accelerator electrode 5 is dispose-d betweenthe ion sources 4 and the collector electrode 3 and comprises ametal tube 9, having an outwardly extending radial flange at one end, the electrode 5 being disposed coaxially within the envelope 1 with the flange 10 at a spacing of one centimetre from the nearest cathode 7. The tube 9 has a length of 4 centimetres and an internal diameter of 1 centimetre and the flange 10 is of such a diameter as .to extend to the internal surface of the envelope 1.
The collector electrode 3 comprises a metal disc of diameter 5 centimetres disposed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the envelope 1 at a distance of 25 centimetres from the accelerator electrode 5.
Leads 11 to the various, electrodes 3, 5,? 6 and 7 are sealed through the envelope 1, these leads 11 also serving, where necessary, to support the electrodes.
In use of the apparatus, hydrogen gas is admitted continuously to the interior of the envelope 1 via an inlet 12 adjacent the ion gun 2 and the interior of the envelope 1 is continuously evacuated via an outlet 13 positioned half-way along the envelope 1. By this means the'pres sure within the part of the envelope 1 on the collector electrode side of the flange 10 is maintained at a value below 10 'torr and a relatively high pressure of the order of 1-10 millitorr is maintained within the remainder of the envelope 1.
In addition, the apparatus is disposed within a magnetic field directed axially along the envelope 1, as indicated by the arrow H in the drawing, and the various electrodes 3, 5, 6 and 7 are connected to four suitable constant 'voltage' sources 14, 15, 16 and 17 so as to causeto be projected along the envelope 1 from the ion gun 2 to the collector electrode '3 a beam of hydrogen ions in which there are elfectively two streams, one at a current of 1 milliampere and accelerated to 1.5 kilovolts, and the other at a current of 8 milliamperes and accelerated to 6 kilovolts. To this end, two of the voltage sources.
14 and 15 are connected so as to maintain the cathodes 7 of each ion source 4 at the same negative potential with respect-to the. anode 6 of that ion source 4, this potential having a value of theorder of one. kilovolt such that a suitable. discharge occurs in each ion source 4.- Positive ions are drawn out of these discharges to form the required beam by arranging that a third voltage source 16v is connected so as t-omaintain the .cathodes 7 of the ion source 4 nearer the accelerator electrode 5 at a negative potential with respect to the cathodes 6 7 of the other ion source 4, this potential nominally having a value of about 4.5 kilovolts, and a fourth voltage source 17 is connected so as to maintain the collector example,
. thermal energyof the ions .at the t 4i electrode 3 and the accelerator electrode 5 at the same negative potential with respect to the cathodes 7 of-the ion source 5 nearer the accelerator electrode 5,this poten-, tial nominally having a value of about 1.5 kilovolts.
of the ions drawn from the ion source 4, 'which fluctua-v tions give rise to various waves propagated along both the component streams of the beam, the frequencies of these waves extending over a wide range. It may be shown that in the apparatus described above,
in both component streams of the beam increases as theytravel from the accelerator electrode 5 to the collector electrode 3, producing a mass of hot-ionised .gas at the downstream end of the envelope 1.
From theoretical calculations, a. maximum gain of the order of 30 decibels may be expected at a frequency" of 8.9 megacycles per second, the gain decreasing as the frequency departs in either direction 'from this value.
We claim: An apparatus for generating a mass of hot ionised gas comprising: an enclosure containing a gas at a llOW pres sure; a collector electrode and an ion gun housed in said enclosure, the ion gun including two ion sources. each consisting of an electrode system generating a gas dis-'- waves having phasevelocities greater and smaller than:

Here in Spain the government is spending million of euros in the high speed train (here it's called AVE, Alta Velocidad Española).

Roads that, by the way, should be strongly improved if the government was not spending all the money in AVE. But hey, when the elections arrive is really cool to say they have made hundreds of kilometers of new high speed trains. After all, voters rarely give a shit about freight transportation.

|Released in 2010 to commemorate 50 years of the Bee Gees -- a date picked from their formation, not from when they started to hit the charts -- this four-disc box set celebrates the legacy of the Brothers Gibb, devoting a disc each to songs sung by a particular sibling. This includes their brother Andy, who never was a Bee Gee but certainly was closely tied to his older brothers, who did write several of his big hits including "Shadow Dancing," "I Just Want to Be Your Everything," "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water," "An Everlasting Love," and "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away," songs that appear on the fourth disc of Mythology, fitting neatly alongside the Bee Gees tunes on the first three discs. Each of the songs was chosen by a Gibb -- Barry and Robin picked their respective discs, Maurice's widow chose his, Andy's daughter Peta curated his disc -- and they never failed to include the group's biggest hits, along with well-chosen selections scattered throughout their catalog. A few hits may be absent -- "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)" and "Lonely Days" are notably missing -- but that isn't as problematic as the sequencing skipping through the decades on each disc, a tactic that, while designed to increase appreciation for the different eras, winds up preventing any momentum from catching hold. Nevertheless, the conceit of devoting a disc to each brother pays off splendidly, increasing appreciation for what each Gibb accomplished, and that, combined with the great majority of the Bee Gees' signature hits, makes Mythology a fitting anniversary celebration. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Infinity Energy Resources Hosted Investor Update Conference Call on Tuesday, May 13, 2014
View Seismic Highlights Slides
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. ("IFNY") is a natural resources exploration and development company with oil and gas concessions covering 1.4 million acres offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea. The Companys concessions are located adjacent to Noble Energys (NYSE: NBL) 1.8 million-acre offshore concessions, which have been estimated by Noble to potentially contain 2.7 billion barrels of oil. Noble has recently commenced drilling.
To date, reprocessing and interpretation of previously collected seismic data by independent engineering consultants has identified four prospects, covering a total of over 547 square miles in shallow waters along the Nica-Tinkham Ridge beneath IFNYs concessions. These consultants have calculated that the potential oil resources present in these structures in the Eocene geologic zone alone could approach 10 billion barrels. IFNY is currently seeking a partner to provide the financial, technical and operational resources to explore and develop the concessions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Menactra® Meningococcal Vaccine
- Does Menactra Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine cause Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?
- Why are you making this announcement at this time?
- How can I report a case of GBS after Menactra or any vaccine?
- What are the risks from meningococcal vaccine?
- Why are you continuing to recommend this vaccine?
- What is GBS?
- What causes GBS?
- What are FDA and CDC doing to investigate?
- Will any further action be taken?
- Are you communicating with the company who makes this vaccine?
- Is there another vaccine to protect against this disease?
- Have other vaccines ever been suspected of causing GBS?
- Where can I get more information about meningococcal vaccines?
- Where can I get more information about GBS following Menactra vaccine?
Does Menactra Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine cause Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?
No. At this time, we cannot say that Menactra vaccine causes GBS.
Why are you making this announcement at this time?
We are updating the public with new information about a possible but unproven rare risk that GBS could be associated with Menactra Meningococcal Conjugate vaccine. This information was first identified and shared with the public in October 2005. We also want to make people aware of this matter so they will report possible cases of GBS to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
How can I report a case of GBS after Menactra or any vaccine?
Because of the potentially serious nature of this matter, CDC and FDA are asking any person with knowledge of any possible cases of GBS occurring after Menactra to report them to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to help the agencies further evaluate the matter. Individuals can report to VAERS on the web at www.vaers.hhs.gov or by phone at 1-800-822-7967.
What are the risks from meningococcal vaccine?
A vaccine, like any medicine, could possibly cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of meningococcal vaccine causing serious harm or death is extremely small.
- Mild problems: Up to about half of people who get meningococcal vaccines have mild side effects, such as redness or pain where the shot was given. If these problems occur, they usually last 1 to 2 days. A small percentage of people who receive the vaccine develop a fever.
- Severe problems: Serious allergic reactions, within a few minutes to a few hours of the shot, are very rare. A few cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a serious nervous system disorder, have been reported among people who have received Menactra vaccine. There is not enough evidence yet to tell whether any of these cases were caused by the vaccine. This is being investigated by health officials. All persons who have become ill with GBS following Menactra immunization have recovered or are recovering.
Why are you continuing to recommend this vaccine?
Meningococcal infection, which Menactra prevents, is a major cause of invasive meningococcal disease, affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people annually. The infection can be life threatening: 10 to 14 percent of cases are fatal, and 11 to 19 percent of survivors may have permanent disability. As we learn more, the benefits and risks of the vaccine will be reassessed.
What is Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
GBS is a serious, rare neurological disorder that can occur, often in healthy individuals, either spontaneously or after certain infections. GBS typically causes increasing weakness in the legs and arms that can be severe and require hospitalization. People who become ill with GBS usually make a full recovery.
What causes Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
Many things can cause GBS, including common infections such as sore throats and other infections that occur in the community.
What are FDA and CDC doing to investigate?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to monitor reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and encourage reporting of any cases of GBS after Menactra to VAERS. CDC's Vaccine Safety Datalink and other databases are being queried to identify any cases of GBS after Menactra. Other types of studies to further evaluate the risk are planned. Because GBS is very rare, scientific study of this issue is challenging and requires extremely large databases. CDC is also communicating with and obtaining input into the investigation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee about this investigation.
Will any further action be taken?
Yes, CDC and FDA will continue to monitor the situation closely. There is not a simple number of cases that would have to be reported before CDC and FDA take additional action. The reason is that GBS can occur in the absence of vaccination, and thus every case needs to be evaluated carefully for possible causes. The timing of GBS following vaccination, clinical factors, and the total number of people vaccinated are important to consider as well. CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and other advisory groups will also consider thi8s updated information.
Are you communicating with the company who makes the vaccine?
Yes, the FDA and CDC are working closely with the vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., and will continue to do so as we actively investigate the situation.
Is there another vaccine to protect against this disease?
Yes, there is another meningococcal vaccine that is licensed by the FDA called Menomune®. It has different characteristics and is not recommended for routine use, but only for certain individuals at high risk. It is available in limited supply.
Have other vaccines ever been suspected of causing GBS?
In 1976, flu vaccine associated with a rare risk of GBS. The Instituted of Medicine Immunization Safety Review Committee recently concluded that the evidence favors acceptance of a causal relationship between 1976 swine influenza and GBS, but the evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between GBS and influenza vaccines administered since then. For more information, see the IOM's report, Immunization Safety Review: Influenza and Neurological Complications. The FDA and CDC continually monitor the safety of influenza vaccine.
Where can I get more information about meningococcal vaccine?
More information is available in the Meningococcal Diseases and Meningococcal Vaccines fact sheet and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice's recommendations for Prevention and Control of Meningococcal Disease.
Where can I get more information about GBS following Menactra vaccine?
See the GBS and Menactra Meningococcal Vaccine.

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2011 The "Strengthening Our Military Families" commitment President Barack Obama announced last week is a "tremendous initiative," the nation's top military officer said yesterday.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed that initiative, defense budget concerns and the situation in Egypt during his regular podcast to troops worldwide.
The president's initiative, Mullen said, focuses especially on education, child care, spouse employment and benefits for veterans as they transition back to communities throughout the country.
The admiral noted that all of the Cabinet secretaries had signed the report. "As the president said during the roll-out," the chairman said, "he's focused on those Cabinet leaders, and he has expectations that they will support our military families."
Mullen said supporting military families and veterans has been a priority for him and his wife, Deborah, for "many, many years."
"So to have the president focused on this –- and particularly in these key areas, … I'm excited about it," he said.
"I know the president well enough to know that he is focused on delivering," Mullen added. "This isn't just something he wants out there. He wants to produce results."
Mullen said the initiative will "make a big difference for a group without whom we would not be anywhere close to as successful as we've been in these wars."
Military families, the chairman said, have been through a lot.
"They need this kind of support," he said. "The country, from the president on down, is very focused on making their lives better."
The admiral then turned to budget concerns, saying Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates' recent announcement of eventual reductions in Army and Marine Corps troop strength isn't an issue for immediate concern.
"It's certainly something that we think is about right, based on what we understand the future to be," the chairman said. "[But] the future can be very uncertain. I'm much more concerned with what happens in the next couple of years."
Mullen said the continuing resolution under which the Defense Department is now operating holds spending at last year's level. A continuation of that resolution, which expires March 4, would be "a disaster for us in terms of executing the budget," Mullen said.
While the military can continue to operate under the resolution's constraints, "the inefficiencies that are associated with it -- the programs that we can't start, the impact that a one-year continuing resolution will have on us -– will really, really force us into extreme measures," he said.
With respect to the force reductions, "those really don't happen until [2015 and 2016]. So we're several years away from that," the chairman noted.
Mullen has endorsed the current defense budget plan as necessary to help the country weather a tough economic climate, but he cautions against long-term flattening in defense spending. Because Gates' plan calls, essentially, for halting growth to the defense budget in 2014 through 2016, Mullen said, beginning in 2017 "we're going to have to start to grow the budget again in order to carry out our national security responsibilities as the president has given them to us."
The chairman also addressed the crisis in Egypt and that country's military response, noting that he has spoken with his Egyptian counterpart, Army Lt. Gen. Sami Enan, by phone and received an update on the situation.
"He assures me that they're very focused on this, and they will continue to be a stabilizing influence within their country," Mullen said.
While the situation is very volatile, the chairman added, "so far, the Egyptian military have handled themselves exceptionally well."

Shockingly, the Detroit Pistons may not want a logjam on the wing
Aug 12, 2010, 9:05 AM EDT
I'm not sure Tracy McGrady fits in well with any NBA team at this point, but the Detroit Pistons are a pretty bizarre match. He may not be breaking the bank with his recently signed one-year, $1.3 million deal, but T-Mac is a fairly demanding offensive player whose level of production no longer validates his inefficient style. To make matters worse, the Pistons already had all kinds of options lined up at both shooting guard and small forward. Ben Gordon and Rip Hamilton are set to be shooting guard fixtures, and Detroit's forward crop yields Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye, DaJuan Summers, Jonas Jerebko, and Charlie Villanueva.
McGrady will eat into somebody's minutes, but why would the Pistons go through this much trouble to sign an aging superstar-turned-role-player-who-doesn't-seem-to-know-he's-a-role-player? Detroit isn't making a championship run or even a legitimate playoff run, yet they insist on signing McGrady and sacrificing the playing time of either their young, emerging talent or their biggest trade chips/most qualified veterans.
Everything that has transpired between McGrady and the Pistons has been odd, but David Aldridge of NBA.com gives us a slight indication as to what the team's thinking might have been:
A league source indicated Tuesday that the Pistons will work to
"un-jam the log jam" the team now has at the shooting guard and small
forward spots after signing the 31-year-old McGrady, who has been
working out for several teams this summer looking for a home, including
Chicago and Cleveland.
The source said that McGrady agreed
without conditions to play behind starters Rip Hamilton and Tayshawn
Prince next season, though it's likely that Detroit will move either
Hamilton or Prince before the start of next season. It's more likely
the Pistons will move Prince, who is entering the last year of his
If Detroit can successfully trade either Prince or Hamilton for a non-wing player, the move is made a bit more understandable. However, with the current cast in Detroit, it would behoove the franchise to dole out McGrady's minutes among the team's younger and more productive players.

Hey, bring on the competition. You keep what you kill. Whoever earns the hard wood time, keeps the hardwood time.
This will help everyone stay on their game. Non-performing whinners sit.
- Zachariah Blott - Aug 12, 2010 at 1:53 PM
If your team only has 3 PG's, 4 PF's, and 5 C's, you still don't sign McGrady. This is a terrible pick-up for any team (let me clarify, for any team that wants to win games), and especially for one that's spinning its nostalgic wheels and signing guys like Villanueva to big deals. Just go get Iverson already, and consider Joe Dumars the new Rachel Phelps.
- joyce - Aug 20, 2010 at 1:03 AM
Tracy Mcgrady is a awesome player and if the screw up by not playing him like they gave up on Chuncey Billips they will lose. Tracy can still play good basket ball. Just because he's not that young he's not washed up. He was just hurt and that's how he played. Tracy is not a selfish player and he always gave Detroit their respect. He will be the best player coming off the bench or if he starts with his experience. I don't think Rip should be traded or Tayshun but Joe D will mess that up. He gave Quamey a chance why not a superstar. Chauncey is still playing at his age and Rip has been Detroit's leading scorer since the first day. Some body has to go but I wouldn't get rid of Charlie V. If somebodoy gets hurt they can be replaced.

Best St. Louis Blue St. Louis 2000 - Chris Pronger
Readers' Choice: Chris Pronger
For Blues fanatics, the only bad, bad thing about Chris Pronger is that in praising him, they have to credit, however indirectly, former Blues despot Mike Keenan. For many Blues fanatics, Mike Keenan is the Hannibal Lecter of St. Louis hockey -- in their view, he not only killed the team, he virtually ate it. But somewhere Keenan is chuckling. Or scowling, which, for Keenan, might be the same thing. Keenan left town two steps ahead of the tar and feathers, but one thing he left behind was the Brendan Shanahan-for-Chris Pronger trade. Although reviled at the time, five years later it makes perfect sense -- well, not perfect, but at this point what team wouldn't pick the 25-year-old Pronger over the thirtysomething Shanahan? Age is unforgiving, particularly in sports. If last year is any preview, Pronger is a player on the verge of a great career. For last season's effort, Pronger was picked for the Norris Trophy as the league's best defenseman and the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player. Pronger is the first player to win both since the legendary Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins in 1972. As the season starts next month, Pronger appears to have a hell of team around him, led by the NHL's coach of the year last year, Joel Quenneville. Now if he can only get past the second round of the playoffs. That would make Bluesheads forget about Keenan -- almost.

I started here about two years ago. After learning the ropes, I started to understand in some amount of detail the very involved workflow requirements here in terms of where data comes from, where it goes, how it moves around (who deals with it), etc.
Much to my horror however, I found that certain activities were being performed manually each day/week which resulted in thousands of hours lost or wasted. These tasks needed to be automated, so I took it upon myself to do so, even though it was technically not my responsibility. Here are a few of the highlights:
1) After an ad has run, the IBM AS/400 in the business office was generating a printout of the ad numbers that were no longer needed. A person would then take this half-inch-thick document (each line was an ad) and delete each file from two places. We utilize an OPI (Open Prepress Interface) so both the low and high res version of the ad have to be deleted. This was being done 2 times a week or so and would take 3-4 hours each time. I talked to the person running the AS/400 and arranged to have the "printout" printed to a file on disk (and ultimately to a file on a volume accross the network). I then created a Frontier script that takes this file and for each ad in it, delete the respective high and low resolution graphics. They now run this daily and save time and space in the process!
2) Like the first example, after each page of the newspaper had been printed, the stories used in the paper needed to be moved en-masse early the next morning, reviewed to see which ones would be sent to other organizations and then the balance would be deleted. Since the stories were in a number of different folders in a number of different volumes accross the network, this was rather laborious and time-consuming. Now a Frontier script moves all the stories to a single location and clean out the directories in a matter of seconds. It probably saves 30 minutes a day or so.
3) A script to move photographs has also been created. It works similar to the last one just described, only with mugs and photos. The only differance is that it doesn't automatically delete them. It lets them first decide which ones need to be archived. It to probably saves around 30 minutes a day.
4) Each day we submit stories to the Associated Press (AP), Gannett News Service (GNS) and Northwest GNS (NWGNS). Normally these stories required that text files be created from the original Quark documents and then that a proprietary piece of communications software supplied by AP be used to send the stories (one at a time) to the respective news agencies. Anywhere from one to 10 stories might be sent in a given night. Oh yes, and they get to travel at the blinding speed of 1200 baud (300 in some cases)!!! Needless to say, the amount of time necessary to complete this task was non-trivial.
I created a number of "Magic Folders" on the network (one for each news service) such that any text file placed there would be moved to a "Communications Server". Frontier would then add the appropriate routing information in the form of text additions to the file would be added as necessary to the story (it winds up on DEC PDP-11's!), send it to the respective agency by controling an external modem and then a log entry would be made regarding what was sent to whom and when it was sent. This probably saves nearly an hour every day. This one also made me particularly popular with the newsroom-types since no one wants to sit around at 1:30AM and send stories at 1200 baud.
By the way, the "Communications Server" I mentioned initially was no more than an old Macintosh IIfx that was sitting unused in a corner! All I had to was put an ethernet card in it, install an OS and put Frontier (and the sripts) on it. It also speaks out loud it s current status - whether it s sending or looking for a file, etc. You don t even have to look at it to know it s working! A couple of months ago, it was upgraded to a PowerMac 7100 that had been replaced with a new G3 Desktop, but that was just so that I could also have this same machine do some other work (like being an FTP server) at the same time. The fx or any other old Mac would work fine in this case.
5) Before some stories can be sent or archived, they need to be cleaned up to remove or replace certain high ASCII values (128-255) which don't translate well into normal text communications. It's rather trivial to have frontier read in those files as part of the workflow here, clean them up and then let them continue on their merry way.
6) Each day our front page is turned into a PDF and emailed as an attachment to the Newseum in Washinton DC. The PDFing is done by Adobe Acrobat. When it's done, it puts the PDF into a particular folder. Then Frontier launches Eudora, creates an email, attached the PDF and sends it off automatically. This probably saves someone 5-10 minutes or so a day.
7) Along the lines of the last one, certain stories are saved as text and FTP'd to the National Association of the Blind so that they can be "read" to blind people over the phone. Basically I just created another "magic folder" on the network for these stories to be placed in. They initially started just sending a couple stories a night but are planning to send the entire paper within the next year. The amount of time this saves is also substantial.
8) We maintain a BBS for advertisers to send us ads on. Unfortunately, it used to require that someone check it several times a day to see if anything new has been uploaded. This was a pain because you had to check a unique place for each advertiser. With Frontier, I have it simply print a "ticket" telling the artists what file has been sent, where it is and when it was sent. Now they only look at the BBS when they KNOW there's a file there. This is hard to quantify, but it probably saves 15-30 minutes a day.
One additional note about my little "magic folders". They're smart and only process the appropriate files that are put in them. If a non-PDF winds up in the folder where the front page PDF is supposed to go, it just sits there. Basically the users are able to tell if their files are being processed by watching them "disappear".
If you were to actually track the amount of time that's saved with all these scripts, it would equate to more than those of a full time employee (40 hours/week * 52 weeks = 2080). For any environment where lots of files are being created, moved, sent, received or deleted, I would strongly recommend utilizing Frontier!
In terms of future projects, a number of other departments are asking if I can automate the sending/receiving of files via FTP on the internet. These include Web documents/data to our web host, weather map data, etc. In addition, I m thinking of resurecting the fx again to basically be a net monitor. It ll basically just check the network every few minutes to make sure that all our servers and printers are showing up as they should on the network. If there s a problem, I ll have it email or page the appropriate person.
P.S. If any organizations are interested in having me automate some of their workflow, feel free to contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com).
