Followers of this blog will be aware that it had been mothballed it in June last year as I launched by new blog "Northern Ireland Centre Right." The new blog was the focus of a campaign of persuasion, directed at the Conservative Party, that the Northern Ireland Regional Conservative Party should become an independent centre-right party which took no position on whether Northern Ireland should remain as part of the United Kingdom.
In the Autumn of this year, I became aware that the regional committee of the Northern Ireland Conservatives were campaigning hard with CCHQ for a new package which would enable them to field candidates at Assembly elections, including the election of 2011. I was persuaded that if they achieved their aim, I should suspend my Northern Ireland centre right campaign and campaign as a Conservative until after the Assembly elections. I made it clear, however, that the Conservatives had to be allowed to field candidates in the forthcoming 2011 election campaign. A promise to be allowed to field candidates in future elections was not acceptable, since it was clearly necessary, as a first step towards non-sectarian, non-communal politics, that the Conservative Party put some distance between itself and the UUP.
In November, it was looking very much as though the Committee would succeed in their aims. They had elicited favourable responses from very senior members of the party, including Owen Paterson. In preparation for that anticipated success, I decided to "dust down" the Tory Story NI blog. I still was not completely sure that they would succeed. Whilst the position was uncertain, I wrote posts simultaneously on Tory Story and NI Centre Right.
Two days ago, the Conservatives made their announcement that a new package had been agreed between the regional committee and CCHQ. The package included the right to campaign in Assembly Elections in the future but not the 2011 election. The Chairman indicated that it was operationally too late to field candidates in May. This looked to me like a "smoke screen" to conceal the fact that the committee had caved in to CCHQ pressure not to field candidates in the 2011 Assembly elections. In response to that, I asked one of the committee members to confirm or deny that the regional committee had made a commitment to CCHQ not to field Assembly candidates. The response I received was that they had not.
Since it appeared that it was now the regional committee that had made a decision not to field candidates, I held out a glimmer of hope that some local Associations could be persuaded by members to field their own candidates. I then learned that the Area committee had the power to block the fielding of candidates in its local area. As far as I was concerned, that marked the end of any hope that the Conservative Party would be fielding candidates in the 2011 Assembly elections.
Since there is no Assembly campaign to support, there is now no point in me continuing to write new posts on the Tory Story NI blog. As of today, I am announcing, once again, that there will be no further posts on that blog in the foreseeable future.
I will continue to write posts on Northern Ireland Centre Right until further notice. However, I will also be reflecting on what has happened and the political route most likely to be successful to achieve non-communal, normal left-right politics in Northern Ireland. In particular, I will be considering, very carefully, whether there is any remote possibility that the critical mass of the Conservatives in Northern Ireland might come around to my way of thinking after 2015.

Road traffic deaths and injuries are a major public health and development issue.
More than 1.2 million people are killed, and up to 50 million are injured, every year. The vast majority of casualties occur in middle and low income countries.
We face a near tripling of the number of cars on the planet from 2010 to 2050, the vast bulk in emerging economies.
Improved fuel economy is essential if we are to address some of the negative implications of this growth, such as pollution, congestion, energy and resource depletion, and environmental damage.
Our 2014 Annual Report highlights the Foundation's road safety and environmental programmes.
Seven children die every day on Thailand's roads. Many are passengers on the family motorcycle. Only 7% of these kids are wearing crash helmets.
Every six seconds someone is killed or seriously injured on the world's roads.
Supporting the implementation of the United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020, the Road Safety Fund facilitates alliances between private sector donors and NGOs to support road injury prevention programmes in countries and communities working to defeat this growing epidemic of road death and injury.
Poor air quality is a contributory factor in the deaths of at least 3.2 million people annually, according to WHO.

Burly, Warm and Waterproof
I dig this Coat. This jacket is made for the wettest Northwest days and can withstand the elements all over the world. It's been my saving grace through storm days when it's just too good to go home. ;-) I love that the velcro cuffs can wrap around the thumb to keep the snow out. Also, the removable hood, chest vents and pocket placement make it a coat that you are glad to be wearing long after the adventure is over.

In an afternoon news conference, the Marion County Prosecutor said he would seek enhanced charges against 25 year-old Major Davis, Junior.
Authorities say he fired an AK-47 at Officer Perry Renn and another police officer who were responding to a 'shots fired' call.
Prosecutors say while Indiana law allows them to seek the death penalty when a police officer is murdered, that decision hasn't been made yet.
Davis is now said to be in stable condition at an Indianapolis hospital. He was injured when Officer Renn returned fire in that shootout.

Haaretz is reporting that an Istanbul bombing previously credited to a Kurdish terrorist group was actually the work of Hezbollah. According to a story first reported in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the May attack was undertaken by the Lebanese Islamist terror group in a failed attempt to murder Israel's consul general in the city. The explosion is believed to be in retaliation for the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran earlier this year.
This attack on Turkish soil may be one of several events convincing the Islamic government there a rapprochement with Israel may be in their strategic interest.
While sources in Ankara are denying Hezbollah is operating on their territory, this incident may have been part of a recent trend in which Turkey's Islamic government has backed away from Iran and Syria in the wake of the Arab Spring protests. Turkey chose not to play any role in this year's version of the anti-Israel flotilla to Gaza, and it has been alarmed by Syria's military activities close to their southern border as the Assad regime tries to wipe out dissidents.
While a year ago it seemed as if Israel's once close relationship with Turkey had collapsed in a wave of recriminations after several Turks were killed during the seizure of one of the flotilla ships, the two countries are cautiously moving back toward a more normal relationship. The Jerusalem Post is reporting that talks between the two countries are continuing as they attempt to settle the flotilla affair. Recent statements from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Israel must lift the blockade of Gaza in order to achieve a settlement of the dispute have complicated those talks. That is something Israel will not do, although it is willing to apologize for the loss of life provided such a statement will conclusively end the matter.
It is not clear whether Erdogan is posturing prior to making a deal. But the news about Hezbollah killers operating in Turkey may well be influencing the Turks to renew their alliance with Israel in order to protect itself against Iran and its terrorist allies.

The Results Are In! Bones Season 7 Finale: Did Brennan Do The Right Thing?
The big Bones Season 7 Finale cliffhanger had Brennan (Emily Deschanel) running from the law with Christine in tow — only without telling Booth (David Boreanaz). Kind of not cool, Brennan.
But we asked you, do you think Brennan did the right thing by leaving that way? You spoke, and here are the results — overwhelmingly you all agree with Brennan's choice!
Did Brennan Do The Right Thing?
- 45.9% Yes. She had no choice but to flee!
- 25.9% Yes, but she should've taken Booth and Christine.
- 18.9% No. She and Booth could've fought the case against her.
- 9.3% Yes, but she shouldn't have taken Christine with her.
The question now is, presuming she can clear her name and return to Booth, could he ever forgive her? Let us know what you think!

Don't cultivate result,
Cease to exist
Though for a while,
And they'll love you,
They'll buy you expensive,
They'll cry to beget you,
Because you ain't anything
But a toy.
Bosses who crave crosses
To crucify all competing creativity,
On their records is none alive
A prudent finger but theirs,
Thus we all become fools,
Courteous fools,
In order to get paid.
Men laden with years,
Tossed like a cotton grain
In a September storm,
By a social refuse,
A moral fugitive, outcast, lunatic, everything,
Disorganised like a baby
Excited by a toy bus
Is our boss the image.

After several years of unsuccessful attempts to establish government-to-government negotiations with the state to resolve water issues, the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations filed legal action today in US District Court in Oklahoma City to protect the tribes' water resources.
"Citizens of the Chickasaw Nation, like all Oklahomans, have a vital interest in maintaining the conditions necessary to ensure a strong economy and a thriving natural environment for our children and grandchildren," said Bill Anoatubby, Governor of the Chickasaw Nation. "Because sustainable management of our water resources is imperative for the progress and prosperity of all Oklahomans, we have worked diligently to establish a working relationship with the state on this issue.. Unfortunately, our efforts have been unsuccessful, leaving us no realistic alternative to legal action."
Tribal efforts to establish negotiations regarding management of water resources can be traced back at least a decade. Three years ago the Chickasaw Nation sent a letter to then Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry and Oklahoma Water Resources Board Executive Director Duane Smith. That letter, dated June 10, 2008, expressed support for Oklahoma's effort to update the water plan but also communicated the critical concern that the effort had excluded government-to-government dialogue between the state and tribes. Without such dialogue, the Nation said, the State's water planning would be inadequate and flawed.
Offering no meaningful response, the State never took steps to engage substantively with the Nations on the subject.
Stephen Greetham, counsel for the Chickasaw Nation, said today's action was filed to protect tribal water rights against one-sided action by the state of Oklahoma.
"The Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations hold treaties with the United States that secure prior and paramount rights to the ownership and management of water resources throughout their territory," said Greetham. "This action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to bar unilateral state action on water resource management issues. The Nations' treaties secured them a permanent homeland, and without the sustainable and long-term management of its water resources, that homeland will be undermined."
Recent formation of a state joint legislative water committee based on the presumption of the supremacy of state law on this issue is yet another indication of disregard for tribal rights and demonstrates a commitment by the state to take unilateral action.
"A lack of any real progress on the initiation of meaningful government-to-government talks on these matters, leads us to believe further inaction would simply mean the deepening of our present challenges," said Choctaw Chief Gregory E. Pyle. "Therefore, we have concluded that we must act now to protect the Nations' rights by taking our case to the federal courthouse.
"The Choctaw Nation is committed to protecting and preserving the sustainability of water in Southeast Oklahoma and the rest of the state. We will continue to seek a resolution that works for all of us, and I have faith that through the Court, we can reach a decision that is fair, meaningful, and serves the best interest of all Oklahomans."
Michael Burrage, lead counsel for the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations on this action said the suit is carefully structured to avoid disruption to the public.
"We haven't gone out looking for a fight on all this. We're using the courts to protect our water, period. The Nations have been working for a solution for a long time, now, but they can't do that alone. Given that the State couldn't figure out a way to the table, we had to make our way to the courthouse," said Burrage.

Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:Everything. It's a great gun. 1/2" group at 30 yards.
Things I would have changed:Larger power sourse.
Things I liked:Great price, glad I got it before it was discontinued. It has good power at short range, within 40 yards. I was sticking pellets 1/4 inch into a 2x4 from 15 yards. Excellent accuracy, the scope isn't the best but is effective within a 40 yard range. I was able to consistently hit a penny from 40 feet. It's easy to load and gets 30 good shots from a single CO2 canister. Will take small game (rabbits, squirrels and game birds). It's quiet and packs a good punch. A ton of upgrade options for this system. I love it.
Things I would have changed:Right out of the box it was ready to use. Pyrymid Air kicked butt with a great price and fast delivery. I will be adding visual upgrades first with a folding stock and fake silencer. Later I plan to put on the larger barrel and upgrade everything for power.
What others should know:Find it and buy it. It's not as powerful as many but for the 70 to 80 dollar price tag it can't be beat.
Things I liked:weight,shots per co2 tank,power
Things I would have changed:4x15 scope that it comes with it,rear stock,
What others should know:Use a better scope. The 4x15 that comes with is very cheap.The rear stock needs to be longer. If you use the sites on the gun the rear site is to close to your eye.Therefore making it blurry.For that reason I gave accuracy a 4.I get about 40 shots on one co2.First 30 stay strong.Shot a rat at 20 yards (scoped).14.5g RWS super point extra group the best @ 20yards( dime size). I would say that 20 yards is max with this gun on a warm day @ 65+.

With a method of controlling the flow in a flow system where a liquid flow contains a particle concentration, the liquid flow is surrounded by a carrier liquid. The liquid flow and carrier liquid are led into a central channel in which there is provided an observation area (4) where measurements of the liquid flow are effected. The result of the measurements are used to lead the liquid flow into one of several channels, in that control liquids are introduced into the liquid flow before this reaches the channels, the control liquids being derived from a capillary pump structure which pumps on the basis of an electro-kinetic effect, e.g. an electro-osmotic effect. In a preferred embodiment, the pump structure consists of two capillary structures, to each of which an electrical field can be applied. Depending on the strength of the field, the amount of control liquid will be able to be controlled so that the liquid flow with the particle concentration can be led to one of two channels. In a second embodiment, the pump structure consists of one capillary structure. The liquids can with advantage be controlled in such a manner that when the amount of liquid in the one capillary structure is increased, the amount of liquid in the second capillary structure will thus be reduced correspondingly. The advantage of the invention is first and foremost that the pumping is carried out without the use of mechanical pumping arrangements, which are relatively expensive. Moreover, a better retention of the flow pattern in the flow system is achieved.

[0001] The invention concerns a method of controlling the flow of a liquid in a flow system, the liquid flow comprising particles and being led into a channel thereof, the method comprising the steps of:
[0002] enveloping the liquid flow by a flow of carrier liquid,
[0003] hydrodynamically focussing the particles in the liquid flow,
[0004] providing a measurement signal of the liquid flow from an observation area in the channel, and
[0005] dividing the liquid flow at a branching point into two or more outlets in response to said measurement signal.
[0006] The sorting of biological materials in the form of cells and microorganisms is typically carried out with a flow-cytometer, which has a sorting module.
[0007] A commonly known principle for the sorting of biological materials is brought about by first converting the liquid flow into drops, after which the drops are separated electrostatically.
[0008] With another principle, use is made of a method of separation where a volume element in a liquid flow is directed via a separate channel in relation to a main flow.
[0009] Examples of the latter principle are e.g. described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,827,555, where the separation is effected by means of mechanical valves, which are controlled on the basis of a signal from a photo-detector. However, the problem with the use of mechanical valves is that they have a relatively poor reaction time, and moreover that they unavoidably influence the flow pattern when they are activated.
[0010] In order to alleviate this problem, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,427 it is suggested that use be made of a piezo element which, however, is a relatively expensive component.
[0011] From WO 98/10267 a flow-switch is known where, by controlling of the part of a right and a left flow, an intermediate liquid flow can be positioned in such a manner that it can be directed through several branches at the outlets. This method is intended especially for the injection of a small liquid volume.
[0012] It is now an object of the present invention to provide a method, which results in a faster and cheaper separation of particles.
[0013] The object of the invention is achieved by a method of the type disclosed in the preamble to claim 1, which is characterised by introducing a control liquid from at least one control channel at a merging point in the channel, the amount of said control liquid being controlled by at least one electro-kinetic pump, the pump effect of which is controlled in response to said measurement signal.
[0014] In this way a system is provided where no use is made of mechanical components, which furthermore makes the system suitable for disposable set-ups, e.g. for use in so-called analysis kits.
[0015] The pump control is simple, as the pump effect varies proportionally with the applied electrical field, which is adapted to suit the given characteristics of pump liquid and the dimensions of the pump channels.
[0016] It should be noted that in addition to being able to control the central particle flow by the supply of a control liquid, a control of the central particle flow could also be achieved by the electro-kinetic pumping of liquid away from the central flow, naturally providing that this liquid permits the use of electro-kinetic pumping mechanisms. Moreover, the two control methods can be combined, hereby achieving, among other things, a greater displacement of the central particle flow.
[0017] It is expedient for the method to be executed as disclosed in claim 2, where said at least one electro-kinetic pump is of an electro-osmotic type consisting of two capillary structures to each of which an electrical field is applied, so that when the field in the one capillary structure is increased, the field in the other capillary structure is correspondingly reduced.
[0018] By a particularly simple embodiment of the method according to the invention, as disclosed in claim 4, the amount of control liquid is controlled by just one electro-kinetic pump, which is placed in the one of the channels. By introducing control liquid in greater or smaller degrees, or by pumping liquid away from the channel, the central particle flow can be controlled between the two outlets. The configurations with differences in the channel cross-section, as well as asymmetrical configurations of the branching point, will be able to be used in connection with the controlling of the central particle flow.
[0019] Besides, other advantageous configurations of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
[0020] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the example embodiment shown in the drawing, where
[0021]FIG. 1 shows a principle set-up of the flow system in a first embodiment according to the invention,
[0022]FIG. 2 shows a principle set-up of the flow system in a second embodiment according to the invention, while
[0023]FIG. 3 shows the principle involved in how a volume element can be controlled by use of electro-kinetic pumps according to the embodiment in FIG. 1.
[0024] In FIG. 1 the reference FIG. 1 indicates a liquid flow containing particles, which liquid flow is led into a central channel. The liquid flow is enveloped in a "carrier flow" 2 in the central channel, so that hydrodynamic focussing occurs, whereby the particles assume a very uniform movement pattern in the central channel.
[0025] At a suitable distance inside the channel an observation area 4 is arranged. In this area, the particles pass in an individual manner due to their so-called "focussing". Not-shown measuring equipment can be established in the observation area for providing measurements, which form the basis for the further passage of the particles through the system, cf. below.
[0026] After the observation area 4, the particles move further through the central channel and reach a merging area where control liquids are led into the central channel from two connected channels 5 and 6. After the merging area, the channel is divided into two further channels 8 and 9.
[0027] It takes the particles a known time, τ, to move from 4 to 7. Within this period of time, τ, the control signals, which control the control liquids, are generated. The time, τ, is determined by the length of the channel and the rate of flow in this channel.
[0028] The particles from the liquid flow will now be introduced into the channels 8 or 9, depending on how much control liquid is introduced into the channels 5 and 6 from two reservoirs 10 and 20.
[0029] It should be noted that the control liquids could be other than the particle-containing liquid and the carrier flow, which provides degrees of freedom in optimising the electro-kinetic pumping.
[0030] The control liquid from the reservoirs 10 and 20 is pumped by means of a pump structure, which is based on an electro-kinetic effect, e.g. electro-osmosis.
[0031] In FIG. 1 the pump structure is shown as a capillary structure 12 between the reference FIGS. 11 and 13. The drawing shows identical structures on each side of the central channel and branching point 7, in that the additional structure is indicated by the reference FIGS. 22, 21 and 23, respectively.
[0032] With an electrical field applied over a part of the capillary structures between supply pieces 11 and 13 and 21 and 23, liquid is pumped from the reservoirs 10 and 20 in towards the central particle flow.
[0033] As will appear from FIG. 1, the merging area is electrically earthed at 13 and at 23, respectively. The whole of the channel system is hereby held at a safe potential, and the relatively high potential, which is required for pumping, can be limited to the structures between 13 to 10 and 23 to 20, respectively.
[0034] The amount of liquid, which is pumped through the capillary structures, is controlled by changing the magnitude of the applied electrical field, which can be modulated temporally. A typical field strength is of 200 volts/cm, and the overall potential measured between 10 and 23 can be up to several kilovolts.
[0035] The high voltage supplies 14 and 24 are connected to electrical earth at 3 and 18, respectively.
[0036] In a typical set-up, a constant total amount of control liquid is pumped through the two capillary structures. It is hereby avoided that the pressure conditions around the introduction of the enveloped liquid flow are influenced by the sorting function. In other words, an increase/reduction of the amount of liquid in the one channel will result in a corresponding reduction/increase of the amount of liquid in the other channel.
[0037] With many applications, the ratio between the control liquids can with advantage be arranged so that a changeover of the control liquids in the ratio of 20:80 can be brought about.
[0038] This means, for example, that when a field is applied in the upper capillary structure which corresponds to 20% of the total control liquid from the one reservoir 10 being supplied to the upper capillary structure, in the lower capillary structure the remaining 80% will thus be pumped from the second reservoir 20 and vice versa.
[0039]FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment in which an electro-kinetic pump is connected after the branching point 7. In this embodiment, only one pump is shown, which is sufficient to give rise to a change in the flow pattern. When the flow in the channel 8 is increased with a contribution via the merging point 30, a greater part of the main flow will be forced over into the other channel 9. The central particle flow will hereby be changed over from channel 8 to channel 9.
[0040] Here it should be noted that if a pump effect is not initiated from the electro-kinetic pump, the particles will then flow in the channel 8, which is due to the adjustment of the hydrodynamic focussing in the central channel, so that the particles move along the one side of the central channel, which in the drawing is shown at the observation area with the reference FIG. 4.
[0041] The pump structures can alternatively be realised as external components, which e.g. are connected to the remaining flow system via an HPLC hose, or by part components being integrated on a common substrate.
[0042] In FIG. 3, the reference FIG. 15 indicates a volume element of the central liquid flow with hydrodynamically focussed particles at 16 in the observation area 4 in FIG. 1. As will be seen, the focussed particles lie symmetrically around the axis 17.
[0043] After the introduction of control liquid from each of the channels 5 and 6, lowermost in FIG. 3 it is shown how control liquid from the channels 5 and 6 can displace the focussed particles to the right or left in the branching point 7.
[0044] To the left in FIG. 3, the ratio between control liquids in the channels 5,6 is thus shown as being 20:80, cf. reference FIGS. 18 and 19, and on the right-hand side as 80:20. In the two cases, the focussed particles will be led to the channels 8 and 9, respectively.
[0045] Moreover, it should be noted that by increasing the length of the capillary pump structure, a higher hydrostatic pressure is achieved at unchanged diameter of the capillary structure and with no change in the applied electrical field.
[0046] With retained length and retained electrical field, the flow will be increased with the cross-sectional area of the pump channel, while at the same time a higher electrical current will flow.
[0047] The structure can be made of glass or of polymer material or of another suitable composition of materials, which are known within the field of micro-mechanics.
[0048] The channels can possibly be surface treated or coated with a thin film, e.g in order to improve the electro-kinetic pumping.
[0049] It should be noted that special constructions would find application around the focussing zone and the detection point 4.
[0050] In general, the electro-kinetic pumps, which are described in connection with the said structures, will be able to be replaced by other pump mechanisms, though with subsequent modification of the system's parameters.
