The present invention relates to the field of inkjet printing and, in particular, discloses a method of manufacture of an ink jet printer having a thermal actuator comprising an external coil spring.
Many ink jet printing mechanisms are known. Unfortunately, in mass production techniques, the production of ink jet heads is quite difficult. For example, often, the orifice or nozzle plate is constructed separately from the ink supply and ink ejection mechanism and bonded to the mechanism at a later stage (Hewlett-Packard Journal, Vol. 36 no 5, pp33-37 (1985)). These separate material processing steps required in handling such precision devices often add a substantial expense in manufacturing.
Additionally, side shooting ink jet technologies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,899,181) are often used but again, this limits the amount of mass production throughput given any particular capital investment.
Additionally, more esoteric techniques are also often utilised. These can include electroforming of nickel stage (Hewlett-Packard Journal, Vol. 36 no 5, pp33-37 (1985)), electro-discharge machining, laser ablation (U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,604), micro-punching, etc.
The utilisation of the above techniques is likely to add substantial expense to the mass production of ink jet print heads and therefore add substantially to their final cost.
It would therefore be desirable if an efficient system for the mass production of ink jet print heads could be developed.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a micro-electromechanical ejection mechanism comprising:
a wafer substrate;
an ink chamber formed on said wafer substrate, the ink chamber having an ink ejection nozzle formed in a roof thereof and an ink inlet port formed in a floor thereof;
a paddle device arranged inside the ink chamber between the inlet port and the ejection nozzle; and
a bi-layer thermal actuator coil with a first end fast with the substrate and a second end connected to the paddle device, wherein heating of the thermal actuator coil displaces the paddle device causing ejection of an ink droplet through the ink ejection nozzle.
Other aspects are also disclosed.
Notwithstanding any other forms which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
In the preferred embodiment, there is provided an inkjet printer having a series of ink ejection mechanisms wherein each ink ejection mechanism includes a paddle actuated by a coil actuator, the coil spring actuator having a unique cross section so as to provide for efficient actuation as a coiled thermal actuator.
Turning initially to
The thermal actuator device 5 comprises a first arm portion 9 which can be constructed from glass or other suitable non-conductive material. A second arm portion 10 can be constructed from material such as titanium diboride which has a large Young's modulus or bending strength and hence, when a current is passed through the titanium diboride layer 10, it expands with a predetermined coefficient of thermal expansion. The thin strip 10 has a high Young's modulus or bending strength and therefore the thin strip 10 is able to bend the much thicker strip 9 which has a substantially lower Young's modulus.
Turning to

Subsequent to construction of the nozzle arrangement 1, it can be attached to an ink supply apparatus for supplying ink to the reverse surface of the wafer 17 so that ink can flow into chamber 2.
The external surface of nozzle chamber 2 including rim 3, in addition to the area surrounding slot 7, can then be hydrophobically treated so as to reduce the possibility of any ink exiting slot 7.
One form of detailed manufacturing process which can be used to fabricate monolithic ink jet print heads operating in accordance with the principles taught by the present embodiment can proceed utilizing the following steps:
The presently disclosed ink jet printing technology is potentially suited to a wide range of printing system including: color and monochrome office printers, short run digital printers, high speed digital printers, offset press supplemental printers, low cost scanning printers high speed pagewidth printers, notebook computers with in-built pagewidth printers, portable color and monochrome printers, color and monochrome copiers, color and monochrome facsimile machines, combined printer, facsimile and copying machines, label printers, large format plotters, photograph copiers, printers for digital photographic "minilabs", video printers, PHOTO CD (PHOTO CD is a registered trade mark of the Eastman Kodak Company) printers, portable printers for PDAs, wallpaper printers, indoor sign printers, billboard printers, fabric printers, camera printers and fault tolerant commercial printer arrays.
It would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the present invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive.
Ink Jet Technologies
The embodiments of the invention use an ink jet printer type device. Of course many different devices could be used. However presently popular ink jet printing technologies are unlikely to be suitable.
The most significant problem with thermal ink jet is power consumption. This is approximately 100 times that required for high speed, and stems from the energy-inefficient means of drop ejection. This involves the rapid boiling of water to produce a vapor bubble which expels the ink. Water has a very high heat capacity, and must be superheated in thermal ink jet applications. This leads to an efficiency of around 0.02%, from electricity input to drop momentum (and increased surface area) out.
The most significant problem with piezoelectric ink jet is size and cost. Piezoelectric crystals have a very small deflection at reasonable drive voltages, and therefore require a large area for each nozzle. Also, each piezoelectric actuator must be connected to its drive circuit on a separate substrate. This is not a significant problem at the current limit of around 300 nozzles per print head, but is a major impediment to the fabrication of pagewidth print heads with 19,200 nozzles.
Ideally, the ink jet technologies used meet the stringent requirements of in-camera digital color printing and other high quality, high speed, low cost printing applications. To meet the requirements of digital photography, new ink jet technologies have been created. The target features include:
low power (less than 10 Watts)
high resolution capability (1,600 dpi or more)
photographic quality output
low manufacturing cost
small size (pagewidth times minimum cross section)
high speed (<2 seconds per page).
All of these features can be met or exceeded by the ink jet systems described below with differing levels of difficulty. Forty-five different ink jet technologies have been developed by the Assignee to give a wide range of choices for high volume manufacture. These technologies form part of separate applications assigned to the present Assignee as set out in the table above under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
The ink jet designs shown here are suitable for a wide range of digital printing systems, from battery powered one-time use digital cameras, through to desktop and network printers, and through to commercial printing systems
For ease of manufacture using standard process equipment, the print head is designed to be a monolithic 0.5 micron CMOS chip with MEMS post processing. For color photographic applications, the print head is 100 mm long, with a width which depends upon the ink jet type. The smallest print head designed is IJ38, which is 0.35 mm wide, giving a chip area of 35 square mm. The print heads each contain 19,200 nozzles plus data and control circuitry.
Ink is supplied to the back of the print head by injection molded plastic ink channels. The molding requires 50 micron features, which can be created using a lithographically micromachined insert in a standard injection molding tool. Ink flows through holes etched through the wafer to the nozzle chambers fabricated on the front surface of the wafer. The print head is connected to the camera circuitry by tape automated bonding.
Tables of Drop-on-Demand Ink Jets
Eleven important characteristics of the fundamental operation of individual ink jet nozzles have been identified. These characteristics are largely orthogonal, and so can be elucidated as an eleven dimensional matrix. Most of the eleven axes of this matrix include entries developed by the present assignee.
The following tables form the axes of an eleven dimensional table of ink jet types.
Actuator mechanism (18 types)
Basic operation mode (7 types)
Auxiliary mechanism (8 types)
Actuator amplification or modification method (17 types)
Actuator motion (19 types)
Nozzle refill method (4 types)
Method of restricting back-flow through inlet (10 types)
Nozzle clearing method (9 types)
Nozzle plate construction (9 types)
Drop ejection direction (5 types)
Ink type (7 types)
The complete eleven dimensional table represented by these axes contains 36.9 billion possible configurations of ink jet nozzle. While not all of the possible combinations result in a viable ink jet technology, many million configurations are viable. It is clearly impractical to elucidate all of the possible configurations. Instead, certain ink jet types have been investigated in detail. These are designated IJ01 to IJ45 which matches the docket numbers in the in the table under the heading Cross References to Related Applications.
Other ink jet configurations can readily be derived from these forty-five examples by substituting alternative configurations along one or more of the 11 axes. Most of the IJ01 to IJ45 examples can be made into ink jet print heads with characteristics superior to any currently available ink jet technology.
Where there are prior art examples known to the inventor, one or more of these examples are listed in the examples column of the tables below. The IJ01 to IJ45 series are also listed in the examples column. In some cases, a printer may be listed more than once in a table, where it shares characteristics with more than one entry.
Suitable applications for the ink jet technologies include: Home printers, Office network printers, Short run digital printers, Commercial print systems, Fabric printers, Pocket printers, Internet WWW printers, Video printers, Medical imaging, Wide format printers, Notebook PC printers, Fax machines, Industrial printing systems, Photocopiers, Photographic minilabs etc.
The information associated with the aforementioned 11 dimensional matrix are set out in the following tables.

Bad Loan Glut Sends Debt Collector Yields to Low: Poland Credit
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Rising sales of delinquent loans by banks are boosting business for Polish debt collectors and cutting their borrowing costs by as much as 45 percent from a year ago.
Kruk SA, the country's largest debt collector, paid 330 basis points more than the benchmark three-month Warsaw interbank offered rate on two-year bonds sold last month, compared with 450 basis points on notes it sold in March and 600 in July 2010, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Wroclaw-based Kruk's spread compares with 625 basis points, or 6.25 percentage points, on two-year notes issued by Gant Development SA, the country's third-biggest homebuilder. Both companies are unrated.
Polish non-performing loans rose to 64 billion zloty ($20.2 billion) on Aug. 31 from 61.4 billion zloty at the end of 2010 and totaled 8.4 percent of overall borrowing. Bad debt accounts for 11.3 percent of total credit in Hungary and 6.3 percent in the Czech Republic, the latest data from financial regulators show. Polish banks are stepping up sales to a record 8 billion zloty this year from 4.5 billion zloty in 2010 to raise cash for expansion, Kruk Chief Executive Officer Piotr Krupa said.
"Debt collectors are having their moment of fame as banks are offering bad loan portfolios at attractive prices," Marek Kuczalski, who helps manage the equivalent of $690 million at Warsaw-based mutual fund TFI Allianz Polska SA, said by phone.
Banks sell non-performing retail loans for about 15 percent of their face value and corporate liabilities for less than 5 percent, according to Krupa.
Bad Debt
Kruk bought bad debt this year from Warsaw-based PKO Bank Polski SA, the country's biggest lender, and Telekomunikacja Polska SA, Poland's largest phone company, according to Kruk's statements. It agreed to pay 29.7 million zloty, or 13 percent of face value, for 236 million zloty of problem loans from the Czech and Slovak units of Banco Santander SA, Spain's largest bank, according to a regulatory statement on Sept. 7.
Santander's Bank Zachodni WBK SA, the third-largest Polish lender by market value, plans to sell between 10 percent and 20 percent of its bad loans each year to free up cash, Witold Grodzinski, head of the debt-restructuring department, said by phone from Poznan, western Poland.
"The dynamic growth" of lending in Poland before the peak of the global credit crisis is causing the increase in sales of problem loans now, said Grodzinski. Bank lending almost doubled to 627.9 billion zloty at the end of 2009 from 322.8 billion zloty at the end of 2006 as the economy expanded, data from Poland's financial regulator show.
Bond Sales
Debt collectors accounted for 32 percent of the 198 bond sales by Polish companies this year and raised 620 million zloty, according to Fitch Ratings. The companies are set to borrow 600 million zloty more in the next six months to help buy problem debt as banks are likely to unload another 4.5 billion zloty, Krupa said.
While Kruk's borrowing costs have dropped, the yield on Santander's euro-denominated bonds due in 2015 climbed to 313 basis points over benchmark German bunds yesterday from 289 on Jan. 3, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Kruk sold 369.2 million zloty of shares in an initial public offering in April and raised 256 million zloty from bonds this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company posted a 124 percent increase in first-half net income, while Warsaw-based competitor GPM Vindexus SA lifted profit 795 percent.
Reaching Bottom
"Spreads on bonds offered by debt collectors have probably reached their bottom and are unlikely to fall further," said Lukasz Witkowski, who helps manage the equivalent of $2.7 billion at Warsaw-based mutual fund PKO TFI SA. The "significant economic slowdown" has increased the risk of investing in corporate bonds, including those of debt collectors, he said.
The extra yield investors demand to hold Polish government dollar-denominated bonds rather than U.S. Treasuries fell 10 basis points to 244 basis points, indexes compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co. showed. The spread over German euro-denominated bonds dropped 15 basis points to 358 at 12:01 p.m. in Warsaw. The difference is down from 443 basis points on Sept. 22, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Yields on government zloty bonds due in a decade dropped five basis points to 5.72 percent.
Default Swaps
Polish five-year credit default swaps rose four basis points to 252 yesterday, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. Polish swaps cost 57 basis points less than the average for countries in eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa included in Markit iTraxx SovX CEEMEA Index, compared with an 85 basis-point discount a year ago.
The contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a government or company fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
The zloty gained 0.4 percent to 4.3421 per euro today. The currency has climbed 1.8 percent against the euro this month after losing 10 percent in the third quarter, the third biggest drop among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The zloty weakened 17 percent against the dollar last quarter.
Kruk recovers debt by offering to reduce monthly payments and maintains "flexibility and empathy" in dealing with debtors, according to the company's website.
Kruk plans to sell 20 million zloty of bonds, the company said on Oct. 18. Electus SA, a Lubin-based company that collects debt from hospitals, will offer as much as 150 million zloty of bonds, it said in a regulatory statement on Aug. 18. MW Trade SA, controlled by Polish billionaire Leszek Czarnecki, has plans to sell bonds to expand, the Wroclaw-based company said Sept. 28.
"If banks were to dump loans more quickly, there wouldn't be enough money on the investors' side because practically all debt collectors issue bonds to finance the purchases," said Krupa. "Compared to the total bad loan figure, it's like letting air out from a balloon through a small valve."

Above- and belowground responses to tree thinning depend on the treatment of tree debris
Owen, Suzanne M.; Sieg, Carolyn Hull; Gehring, Catherine A.; Bowker, Matthew A. 2009. Above- and belowground responses to tree thinning depend on the treatment of tree debris. Forest Ecology and Management. 259: 71-80.
Mechanical mastication is increasingly prescribed for wildfire mitigation, yet little is known about the ecological impacts of this fuels treatment. Mastication shreds trees into woodchips as an alternative to tree thinning and burning the resulting slash, which can create soil disturbances that favor exotic plants. Previous research on mastication has not simultaneously considered both the responses of soil organisms and understory plant communities. We compared mastication to slash pile burning (both 6- months and 2.5-years post-treatment) and untreated controls in pinyon-juniper (Pinus edulis-Juniperus osteosperma) woodland and measured soil properties, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and understory plant composition. Our results showed that slash pile burns had severely degraded soil properties and low AMF abundance and richness compared to untreated or mastication plots. Pile burns were dominated by exotic plant species and had approximately 6 less understory plant abundance and richness than untreated plots. Only two variables differed between mastication and untreated plots 6- months post-treatment: mastication had lower soil temperature and higher soil moisture. Mastication plots 2.5-years post-treatment had more plant cover and richness than untreated plots or pile burns, although non-native Bromus tectorum cover was also greater and AMF spore richness was lower than untreated plots. The structural equation model (SEM) we developed showed that plant cover strongly influenced AMF abundance (0.50) and both plant cover (0.36) and AMF (0.31) positively influenced soil stability. In the short-term, mastication is a preferable method as it creates fewer disturbances than pile burning; however long-term impacts of mastication need further study as this practice could affect native plant communities. Our results suggest that the manner in which woody debris is treated following tree thinning has an important influence on soil stability and native plant biodiversity.

I got the idea for this mask from this guy, earlier this year:
Step 1: Paper mache a balloon
I ended up using two balloons, so if the balloon color changes, that's why. One popped while I was taking a break.
Good instructions for paper mache-ing can be found herehere
Cooking the paste really works- I never did that when I was a kid, but things worked. Cooking the paste works BETTER.
Step 2: Attach cardboard fins and such
I figured i couldn't sculpt the whole fish out of paper mache, so I cut some cardboard pieces to mold to the shape of the fish that I wanted.
Wait until the paper mache dries for a day, then I used hot glue to secure the fins.
After you're FIN-ished (sorry, couldn't resist), use more paper mache layers to cover the attach points.
Step 3: Mark and cut the holes
This point is very crucial - you have to make sure that there are no serious weak spots on your paper mache-ing. This is critical because the paper will have to withstand some abuse from people patting your head, spilling drinks, people trying your head on, and others.
One way to check is to hold the head up to a light, or to put a flashlight on the inside and look for light spots. I made the mache approximately a 1/8th of an inch (2-3mm) thick.
Also, you're going to be making cuts to the mache, so you'll inherently weaken the overall integrity.
But i would like to know on the picture the bottom is not with newspaper.
Please tell me somebody.
good luck!
you can hot glue a hard hat to the inside of the fish and then it willsit on your head
you may have to cut off the top of the hardhat for it to fit
Another method could be to put pads of foam on the inside. I saw this on another instructable - use an open celled foam pad glued to the sides and have the foam push against your head.
the open cell will allow the sweat to move (or even wick the sweat away) from your head.
Good luck!
I made a similar hat a while ago that might also be useful to look at for using paper clay and hot glue as detailing tools.

We conducted a pharmacokinetic study in 164 patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) to address the relationship between body weight and levodopa pharmacokinetics. Patients underwent an oral acute levodopa test with 250 mg levodopa and pharmacokinetic variables were further assessed. Plasmatic levodopa area under the curve (AUC-l) and body weight were significantly and inversely correlated. Women were significantly lighter and more dyskinetic than men, and had greater AUC-l values. Our data suggest that during long-term treatment, lighter PD patients, especially women, may receive a greater cumulative dosage of levodopa per kilogram of body weight. This could explain gender differences for the development of levodopa-induced peak-dose dyskinesias observed during the course of the disease.

Lee Parks has some great plugs that block out the noise, but allow normal conversation to take place. On his website. I was so impressed I went back and ordered an extra pair. Not cheap, but they work.

I've had the best luck with the plain ol roll up and expand disposable foamies. I have a set of custom molded high end earplugs here at my house.........I never use them anymore
I have use Etymotic products for years and find them comfortable and very effective in reducing wind noise and still be able to hear what's going on around me. A bit pricey, but well worth the investment.
I purchased a box of 200 pairs of 3M yellow/orange ear plugs for some like $25 (not sure of exact price). For best use I try to keep it as single use, once out a reinsertion reduces the effectiveness. I put them on in the morning and and them out at lunch, throw them, after lunch put a new set. 200 will last me a long time. I bought the box from Amazon.

I've bought a lot of plugs from www.earplugstore.com You can pick and choose several differnt kinds, shapes and try all of them till you find something that works for you. I bought a set of custom (earmold) plugs last year at the motorcycle show. The left one seals pretty well, the right one not so well. These might work for you but they just didn't for me. Might have been the maker, there's lots of folks making ear molded plugs these days. Or you can drop by CVS and buy a whole bunch of generic plugs (made by Moldex) for very little money.

Great post, & goes to show that this is not a worn out subject as I intend to try the Moldex brand.

Anyway, I keep the flange type plugs at home for mowing the grass and using my chain saw. I also keep the foam plugs in my kit when I go shooting. At work I use the flange plugs but cut the cord because of the machinery.
BTW - do not reuse the foam plugs. One of our operators at work kept using the same plugs for days and ended up with a vicious ear infection. He was not that bright and did not last long.

I you like music look at etymotic plugs - good hearing protection and can use to listen as well .
These feel better to me than the compression type . I cut off the connecting piece
I always seem to get the compression type dirty rolling them in my fingers

I was lucky enough to be introduced to ear plugs during my second year of riding. I don't leave the driveway now without them in my ears

A basketball trip to Italy appeals to Yvonne Sanchez's New Mexico Lobos in several different ways. Of course, there is the bonding and the basketball. That's the main thrust of this 10-day, four-game sojourn. However, there will be a few leisurely trips on the side.
The Lobos will be athletes. The Lobos will be tourists. The Lobos will eat gelato.
Coach Sanchez says the side trip she most looks forward to is visiting Vatican City which is located within the city of Rome. Sanchez is the head honcho. That trip probably will happen especially since the final two games will be played in Rome (Aug. 12-13) against the Netherlands National Team. UNM also will play two Italian teams on the four-game swing to Italian courts.
The side trip that junior point guard Bryce Owens is pushing at Sanchez might not happen. Owens wants to hit a water slide in Sicily that slices down the side of a cliff and dumps the sliders into the Mediterranean.
Yeah, you can bet Sanchez is just dying to see her 2014-15 team sliding down a cliff into a shark-infested body of water.
OK, there might not be any sharks, but we won't hold our breath waiting for Instagram pictures from Italy of Owens jetting down that slide. We might get some shots of Owens at the Vatican.
Antiesha Brown says the slide isn't high on her list because she can't swim. The 5-10 Lobo says she's looking forward to the trip to foreign soil, but also is looking forward to kicking some Italian rears.
"I would say just Italy in a whole," said Brown what part of the trip most appeals to her. "I know I don't have the money to go to Italy whenever I feel like it and especially play basketball.
"You get to see all these beautiful things and whup up on some Italians. All in all I think it will be a great trip."
The Lobos leave Albuquerque Monday morning, have about a five-hour layover in Atlanta and then come down in the Malpensa Airport just outside of Milan. The Lobos will play four games on Italian soil, but also will have more time to practice.
The games obviously are a bonus for Sanchez's Lobos, but the benefits aren't simply from the competitive encounters. The NCAA allows college teams to make international trips every four years, but the NCAA also allows those teams extra practice sessions prior to the trip.
The Lobos still get to play ball in Italy, but they also have been playing ball in The Pit.
"The team bonding is huge for us," said Sanchez.
Said Owens: "It will help us learn to play with each other."
The preparation for the trip to Italy also introduced the Lobos to some new twists. The 3-point line is further back in international ball. "The first three days of practice, there were a lot of air balls," said Sanchez.
The shot clock has less time on it (24 seconds) and the lane (paint) is wider. They also use a different ball in international games.
"The ball is so different. That's what messed me up the most," said Brown. "There is no traction. It's a lighter ball. It's a change. It's a really big change."
Brown does like the 24-second clock: "We're so long and athletic. Bringing that faster pace helps us out so much."
Sanchez plans to throw out a team in 2014-15 that is up-tempo and the trip to Italy – and the 10 extra team practice sessions prior to that trip – will help iron out some wrinkles. Italy will be fun, but maybe the real dividends will not be seen in August.
"I'm more excited about what it is going to do for us come November," said Brown. "I think getting the freshmen in here and having them adjust to the college-paced game helped us out so much. It gives us a jump start."
Lobo Notes: Sophomore forward Tori Henderson has been released from the UNM program. The transfer from Missouri State last year would have been eligible after the first semester of 2014-15 … The Lobos traveling party to Italy will be around 25 with most of the funding coming from the women's basketball program. Coach Sanchez said the UNM two walk-ons, Maddie Muraida and Marissa Perry, will be in the travel party, but had to fund raise in order to make the trip.

Have you seen an article or letter in a newspaper or magazine that has upset you? Or maybe you have seen one that portrays the LGB community in a positive way?
If so, it is important that you voice your opinions.
A good 'Letter to the Editor' is an excellent way to redress harmful stories, generate a lively debate and promote positive opinions about the LGB community.
This is the Look Out guide to writing a great letter, giving tips and hints on how to increase the chances of getting your letter published.
1. Keep it short
Under 150 words is ideal. Any thing longer will only be cut in length, and that could include your main point!
2. Identify clearly the story you are commenting on
Give the date, headline, publication and page number
3. Select a few key points you wish to raise
Avoid tackling every issue that upset or pleased you. One major point per letter will be more effective. Got more than one point - then get a friend to write in with the other.
4. Be clear about why you are writing
List what has offended you. Was it the language used? Did the tone offend you? Were the facts inaccurate? Was it a balanced article?
Be specific and get straight to the point.
5. Avoid using abusive or offensive language
A reasonable approach is far more likely to be taken seriously.
6. Be sure of your facts
Are you absolutely sure your points are facts and not opinion? Can they be backed up?
7. Be clear about how you would like this matter to be handled
Do you want another article written that covers the points you raised?
Do you want the editor to reconsider the articles/letters they print.
Do you want an apology/correction printed? If so, confirm the wording of the apology/correction and when it will appear.
8. Always include your name and address
You can ask for your details not to be published if you feel you may be put at risk.
If your letter is not for publication write NOT FOR PUBLICATION on the top.
9. And once you have sent your letter, also send it to Look Out.
We really want to hear your opinions. We want to build up a picture of all the media coverage that has either pleased or upset you. Then we can start to do something about it. Click here for details of how to contact LookOut.

While school districts across Texas are using Adaptive Curriculum (AC) Science Texas™ to transform their science instruction and help meet the requirements of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Science, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District (EM-S) is leading the way in a new and expanded use of the award-winning concept mastery solution.
Beginning this school year, EM-S is providing Adaptive Curriculum Science to all its high schools, to help students build a deep understanding of core concepts and skills and
thereby pass the newly required state end of course (EOC) assessment in biology.
With an instructional focus on conceptual understanding rather than learning by rote, Adaptive Curriculum improves student performance by improving their mastery of core math and science concepts. The program engages digitalage learners in grades 6-12 by integrating 3D models, cutting-edge graphics and interactive simulations into active, standards-based learning. Unlike textbooks or drill-and-practice programs, Adaptive Curriculum's active learning approach motivates learners to explore, make hypotheses, manipulate items and see the impact of their decisions.
In July 2011, just before the first year of the new EOC requirements, EM-S administrators knew they needed something to help teachers provide deeper conceptual learning to their biology students. "The district has always had a strong science department and curriculum, but since the EOC assessments were designed to measure readiness for advanced coursework we knew we had to up our game," said Jacqueline Garcia, K-12 science coordinator for EM-S.
"Adaptive Curriculum's Science program was approved in the state's July 2011 Supplemental Science Materials adoption so we were pretty comfortable that it had been well-vetted. Still, we were pleasantly surprised at just how good this solution really is."According to Garcia, EM-S teachers use Adaptive Curriculum in a wide variety of ways, from presenting new concepts in whole class instruction, to allowing students to log on individually, at school or home, for concept reinforcement and practice. "The teachers love that it is so prescriptive, scenario based, problem based, and that it promotes deeper learning," said Garcia. "It's also very easy to implement and integrates quite well with our existing curriculum and materials. Next year, we're hoping to write the use of Adaptive Curriculum into our curriculum plans, as well as make it available to all our middle schools."
As with all of AC Science Texas, the AC Biology program's built-in standards alignment and search capabilities allow teachers to quickly choose lessons and activities that address their specific curriculum requirements and the needs of their students. In addition, the easy-to-use content and modular structure give teachers the flexibility to deliver individualized, small group and whole class instruction to help students master the TEKS and prepare for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) as well as the EOC assessments.

Amber Rose Delays Wedding So Her New Baby Can Be In The Wedding Photos
Amber Rose loves showing off that belly!
She took to twitter earlier this week to post a photo of her growing belly, with the caption 'As promised….21 weeks' which puts her at about five months pregnant. And although Amber and Wiz announced their engagement earlier this year, followed by news that she had begun planning the wedding, the new bun in the oven has definitely put wedding plans on the back burner.
In an interview with XXL, the couple revealed that they are thinking about getting their marriage license very soon but the actual wedding will definitely have to wait until after Amber gives birth so that the baby can be included in the photos. Wiz said:
There's no date set yet. But we'll probably get licensed and married before the baby's born, and do a wedding afterwards because it makes more sense for the baby to be in the wedding than for her to be pregnant. Some people, they rush and do it. But, it works both ways.
Amber added:
Yeah, we definitely want our baby to be in our wedding pictures. And you know, being pregnant, I'm tired a lot. So to have a whole wedding and planning it all out and the reception–I just don't want to be sleeping when everybody's partying at our wedding."
Read the rest of their really cute cover story over at XXL
Also, peep a few more pics of Amber celebrating her 28th birthday over the weekend:

The Academics Rally!: Latest Chapter in the Saga of UM Press

The Battle of the University of Missouri Press rages on. On Tuesday, former press staffers and authors gathered for a rally in on the Mizzou campus in Columbia.
The rally itself, judging from pictures in the Columbia Tribune, was less colorful than Occupy and less populated than the March on Washington (any of the Marches on Washington). About 100 people gathered in Jesse Wrench Auditorium and listened to speeches by, among others, former UM Press editor-in-chief Clair Willcox and UM Press author William Least Heat-Moon, denouncing the recent decision by the university to turn care of the press over to English professor Speer Morgan and a team of student interns.
Heat-Moon reiterated his pledge last month to donate $100,000 to keep the press running according to its old model, equivalent to the current sum in the university budget allotted to the new-model press.
"The new model is bogus," he declared. "It is totally, completely, absolutely and fully unnecessary, and we must not allow this change to happen."
Willcox, meanwhile, defended his press against the charges that it was old-fashioned and out-of-touch with technology -- a state of affairs Morgan promises the new press will remedy with e-books and other digital formats, as yet to be determined.
"[We were] offering online databases long before the iPad was a gleam in someone's eye," he told the assemblage.
The rally concluded with a dozen authors and editors reading selections from UM Press books, including Bright Light Bright City: Images of Las Vegas in Popular Culture by Larry Gragg, which had been under contract to be published by UM Press, but is now on the list at University of Kansas Press.

Ubiquitous networking has enabled moving almost everything from user-devices to the cloud: music, video, storage and web apps to name a few.
Native apps including the browser are a major hold-out to this move, remaining locally installed and making user-devices expensive, difficult to develop for, prone to obsolescence and less secure. However, native apps are still the leader for user-experience and functionality.
Netzyn has created NzOS, high-performance server software that enables native apps to run in the cloud and stream to all types of intelligent and non-intelligent user-devices. NzOS delivers the best of both worlds, the advantages of native apps, along with the benefits of the cloud.
NzOS was created to be a universal platform, supporting many application environments: Android, Linux, Qt, HTML5, OpenGL and Windows. NzOS systems provide app vendors the ability to deploy at scale, supporting 10K's of servers and 10M's of app instances.
NzOS is based on Netzyn's streaming app protocol/architecture, Apps-To-Displays (A2D). Netzyn will open source A2D with the following goal: A2D is to streaming applications what HTTP is to the web.

Air Force Instructor Gets Four Years In Rape Of Trainee
A military judge has sentenced an Air Force instructor to four years in prison for raping a female trainee at the South Texas base where he worked.
Lt. Col. Matthew Van Dalen also sentenced Staff Sgt. Eddy Soto to a dishonorable discharge after convicting him of rape Saturday during a military trial at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.
More than 30 Lackland instructors have been investigated in the military sex scandal. Soto was the ninth trainer convicted in the scandal and sentenced to prison or hard labor.
Van Dalen acquitted Soto on charges of aggravated sexual assault and wrongful sexual contact.
Soto previously pleaded guilty to five counts, including having had sex with a female trainee and with the wife of a male trainee.

Customer reviews
By Jason Harrison 18 Aug 2013
This book is an inspiration for anyone who wants to keep their on-the-go eating as 'real' as possible.
The opening section is an informative, clearly written overview of how nutrition and hydration work, generally and in the context of athletic activity. It explains how simple, home-made food can be superior to super-scientific sports bars, gels and drinks, without being puritanical or preachy about it.
I've only just started to try the recipes, but I can see that there's enough straightforward stuff in there for the non-cook not too feel intimidated. Obviously if you enjoy cooking, as I do, all the better.
Its authors are based in the USA, and, for athletes not based in north America, quantities need to be converted and getting some ingredients may be a challenge, but substituting is easy enough and suggestions are made.
I highly recommend this book.

Whether you re like me or just a casual Sunday cyclist, you re going to love "Feed Zone Portables" Don t be surprised if you ride longer and harder than ever before. Taylor Phinney, professional cyclist for BMC Racing Team and 2-time Olympian Primarily designed for cyclists to eat while riding, [these recipes] work just as well for runners when they've stopped running for exercise and started running to get to where they need to go on time. "Runner s World" You won t look at on-the-bike fueling the same way again. "Triathlete" Exercise physiologist Allen Lim, Ph.D. and chef Biju Thomas, authors of "The Feed Zone" cookbooks, have spent decades working with endurance athletes to find the balance between taste, sport-specific nutrition, and portability. One of their greatest contributions is the rice bar, a real-food version of the snack bar. "Men s Health" Recipes from "Feed Zone" are my new, not-so-secret training tool. They deliver huge taste and even bigger performance benefits. Rebecca Rusch, professional cyclist and 4-time winner Leadville Trail 100, 3-time 24-Hour Solo Mountain Bike World Champion More than 50 of the recipes are gluten-free, and most are vegetarian. All are designed for making quickly, and eating on the bike. "Bike Radar" After being introduced to "The Feed Zone," I began to realize there was another way to eat that actually nourished me as an athlete. I didn t have to live off of processed bars, which dehydrated me and upset my stomach. Matt Segal, professional rock climber for North Face Athlete Team This book, co-authored by chef-to-the-cycling-stars [Biju] Thomas, is packed with healthy, at-home recipes for natural goodies that both satisfy hunger and keep you pedaling.

Cynthia Bailey Tells Porsha Stewart Off and Fires Her From the Pageant! Whose Side Are You On?
Real Housewives of Atlanta newbie Porsha Stewart has had beef with plenty of people this season, but it wasn't until tonight that we saw her get into it with Cynthia Bailey!
Cynthia has been hard at work planning her upcoming pageant, and although Porsha has been helping her out, she apparently hasn't been pulling her weight. Once they finally rescheduled their meeting — which had to be at Cyn's office instead of Porsha's house since Kordell doesn't like "strangers" at their place — things were tense, and the whole situation was downright uncomfortable. Cynthia got upset because Porsha took a call with her housekeepers during the meeting, and Porsha felt incredibly disrespected.
But the tension didn't stop there! Once Porsha got home, she talked out the issues with her hubby, and after Kordell tells her, "You gotta check that," she heads to have a heart-to-heart with Cynthia. To her surprise, she can't get in a word about her feelings before Cynthia fires her! The pageant-planner claims she doesn't think "it's good to involve" Porsha at this point as to not jeopardize her business, claiming that Ms. Stewart hasn't followed through with her work. She bluntly concluded, "I don't know what you've done."
Regardless, Cynthia and Peter head to Kordell's birthday party and things seem good, but then Kordell steps in and awkwardly confronts Cyn. However, as uncomfortable as that conversation was, the girls end things with a "forgive, but not forget" mentality, and it seems like there's no bad blood.
But with all that happened between Porsha and Cynthia tonight, who do you think was in the wrong? Was Porsha not pulling her weight, or was Cynthia too impatient and harsh? Vote below!

1. Field Of The Invention
The invention relates to an automatic machine for capping and labelling bottles or like containers. Its object is to ensure precise capping and labelling in those cases where the cap presents signs or patterns with respect to which the caps (for example four flat pleats symmetrically in two's) and labels are to be disposed in determined manner.
2. Description Of The Prior Art
Champagne bottles on which the caps bear a stamp on which the producer's name is printed must be centered with respect to the pleating of the cap and to the different labels.
In known machines, the bottles bearing their caps are oriented by rotation about their axis so as to come, once, in front of the capping station, then, a second time, in front of the labelling station, as desired.
This double orientation results in defects or imprecisions in the relative positions of the pleats with respect to the wording and of the labels with respect to the pleats, due, in particular, to the relatively heavy weight of the bottles and therefore the inertia rendering the stops of their movement of rotation, imprecise.
The gist of the invention consists in that the cap, which is a light member, will be easier to lock in rotation with precision than the bottle, and the machine resulting from this idea is characterised in that it comprises, in addition to the conventional labelling and capping means, means for orienting the caps synchronized with said labelling and capping means, and means for holding the oriented caps and deposit them on the bottles maintained fixed with respect to the axes of the capping heads.
The means for orienting the caps may be constituted by support pieces of any desired, precise geometric form, driven in rotation by the general motor of the machine, via a clutch-brake assembly, itself controlled by a cell sensitive to a mark on each cap.
One cell may be provided per support piece and a plurality of support-cell groups may be mounted on a rotating platform so as to increase the capacity of the orienting means.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, such as multi-station rotating machine of the carousel type, the rotating orienting platform is mounted between the inlet cross and the outlet cross of a labelling machine, and the means for holding the oriented caps rotate with the platform bearing support elements supporting the bottles to be labelled.
In this embodiment, the means for holding the oriented caps may advantageously be mounted coaxial with respect to the capping heads and to the bottle supports.
The invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the machine of the invention with parts broken away;
FIG. 2 is a diagram indicating the different phases of operation of the machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the cap orienting device of the machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV--IV of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an elevational view in detail of a cap presenting spot and stamp;
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the assembly shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 7 is a schematic elevational and partly cross-sectional view of a capping head and a central nozzle.
Referring now to the drawings and as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 7, the machine of the invention essentially comprises a magazine 1 for loading the caps, an endless conveyor chain 2 for guiding the bottles, with an Archimedean screw 3 for selection or for setting the speed, an endless conveyor chain 4 for removing the bottles, an inlet cross 5 and an outlet cross 6, a carousel 7 bearing support 8 and, above the support, the capping heads 9 inside which a nozzle 33, connected to a source of vacuum, is mounted to move vertically, coaxially to said heads, a labelling device 10, a counter-labelling device 11 and a plurality of brushes and/or foam rollers 12 for smoothing the labels.
Between the inlet and outlet crosses 5 and 6 respectively, the orienting, or indexing, apparatus 13 is disposed, constituted by a platform 14 mounted to rotate on a fixed pin 15. This platform 14 bears five groups of indexing members each constituted by a geometrically strict, very light cap support 16, a clutch-brake assembly 17 and a photoelectric cell 18. The cylinder, locus of the vertical axes of the supports 8 and the capping heads 9, is tangential along the vertical line T to the cylinder, locus of the axes of the cap supports 16.
The platform 14 is driven in rotation above a fixed column 19 by the motor which also rotates the carousel 7 and the labelling apparatus 10, 11. The pin 20 of the clutch-brake assembly 17 bears at its lower end a gear 21 which meshes with a large gear 22 fast with the fixed upright 19. On the pin 20 are mounted two electromagnets due to which a toothed ring 23 may be driven in rotation or braked and stopped. The electromagnet which ensures coupling, therefore drive of the gear 23, is controlled by an inductive pick-up (not shown) which detects the presence of a cap on the support 16, and the other electromagnet which ensures braking, therefore blocking of the gear 23, is controlled by the photocell 18. The cap support 16 is mounted to rotate, via the stem 24, in a cylindrical sleeve 25 with which it rotates. This sleeve 25 is itself mounted to slide in an outer sleeve 26 fast with the platform 14 and provided with two diametrically opposite vertical slots 27, 27'. A rod 28 fast with the sleeve 25 may move in these slots 27, 27' and bears a roller 29 which moves in a cam-groove 30 made in the upright 19.
At the base of the support 16 is provided a ring 31 mounted to rotate on the sleeve 26 and bearing a toothed ring 32 which meshes with the ring 23 of the clutch-brake assembly. The support 16 is arranged to slide freely in this ring 31 but to be driven in rotation when this ring rotates.
The machine which has just been described operates as follows:
The caps stacked in the magazine 1 are automatically distributed on the supports 16 of the rotating platform 14. As soon as the inductive pick-up placed in front of a support 16 detects the presence of a cap on this support, it excites the electromagnet, provoking the mutual rotation of the ring 23 and the gear 21 which, forming a satellite gear mechanism, is always driven in rotation. The ring 32 is then driven by the ring 23 and the support 16, carrying a cap, rotates about its axis in front of the cell 18. When the mark, constituted by a rectangular spot 34 on the cap comes on the optical axis of the cell 18, the latter excites the electromagnet of the clutch-brake assembly 17, which provokes blocking of the gear 23, thereby stopping the rotation of the support 16 and of its cap. The latter is then strictly positioned with respect to the capping and labelling stations. This phase of orientation of the cap is carried out in the course of rotation of the platform 14 represented by the sector a in FIG. 2.
At the end of this period of orientation, the displacement of the roller 29 on the cam 30 causes the assembly constituted by the sleeve 25 and the support 16 to descend. During this descent, the cap, which is no longer supported by the support, rests by its edge on the upper face of the ring 31. When it arrives at point T (FIGS. 1 and 2), the support 16 has descended completely, with the result that its upper part is at a level slightly below that of the upper face of the ring 31. This descent phase of the support is carried out on sector b of FIG. 2.
At that moment, a capping head 9 and a central nozzle 33 are located above the cap disengaged from its support and the nozzle is placed on the cap and retains it by suction. The nozzle may then move the cap after a slight rise, so as to disengage the base of the cap from the support 31 and, in the course of rotation of the platform 7 corresponding to the sector A (FIG. 2), the nozzle 33 with the cap rises inside the capping head 9.
When the assembly composed of the capping head 9, nozzle 33 and cap arrives at point R (FIG. 2), a bottle, coming from conveyor chain 2 and selected by the screw 3 and transferred by the cross 5, is located on a support 8 which is plumb with the above-mentioned assembly, and coaxial thereto. In the course of rotation of the platform 7 corresponding to sector B (FIG. 2), the nozzle 33 places the cap on the bottle and the head 9 descends into capping position.
Capping is carried out in the course of rotation corresponding to sectors C and D (FIG. 2), with, for example, formation of four pleats followed by flattening of the pleats.

What Poteau sophomore runinng back Roger Barcheers has done his first two years has been rather awesome, especially since he was the Freshman of the Year on the 2012 All-Arklahoma Football Team.
However, Barcheers was in the spotlight, somewhat that is, for his ability to hold the ball for Poteau senior place-kicker Jace Pitchford. Thanks to the right hold, Pitchford kicked the game-winning field goal with four seconds left to lift the Pirates to a 10-7 Class 4A state quarterfinal victory over defending state champion Clinton at Costner Stadium.
"When we were practicing before the game, I dropped like 2-of-8 [snaps from snapper Austiun Archey]," Barcheers said. "So, I was pretty scared. All that was going through my mind was to catch the ball and place it on the tee — because I knew Jace would put it through. I was relieved after I got the ball down, and then I was ecstatic after he made it."
• • •
For fans not able to attend Saturday afternoon's game, they are asked to line Broadway from Baetz Home Center to Bud's to help send off the Pirates to McAlester for the big game beginning at 9 a.m. For fans going, they are urged to form a caravan behind the Pirates' bus as it leaves for McAlester.

Global warming: it's a myth, a crock, a conspiracy of evil scientists scrounging for more grant money, a World Government socialist takeover plot, a latte liberal's loony lark, and hey, look, it's cold out today! We've all been there, faced with climate change skeptics who are just dying to argue with any action designed to reduce the damage that human activity is causing to the planet and its inhabitants. The next time you're faced with a climate change skeptic, you can have a mass of carefully worded, authoritative responses in the palm of your hand: as long as you own an iPhone. That is the concept behind the Skeptical Science iPhone application that debuted last month (it's free on iTunes.) Interestingly, it's categorized under "Weather" –I guess the folks at Apple didn't set up a "Climate" category!
The goal of Skeptical Science is to explain what peer reviewed science has to say about global warming. Skeptical Science is not affiliated with any organization; it is maintained by John Cook, an Australian who studied physics and is quick to confirm that he is not a climate scientist and that this project is a labor of love.
The app divides deniers' arguments into three broad categories: It's Not Happening; Its Not Us; and It's Not Bad. Each category then has a list of "Skeptic Arguments" such as "Temp Record is Unreliable" and a detailed write-up of what the science says, along with links for further reading. All research findings are taken directly from peer reviewed scientific literature, with links to full papers throughout. The app is well designed and lively, but it's no t-shirt slogan monger: each argument debunking the skeptics goes into detail, with charts and citations.
Skeptical Science points to a fundamental error of most climate change deniers: by focusing on narrow parts of the puzzle, such as a cold winter season in one part of the world (weather), they dismiss the broader picture of global warming (climate). This extrapolation of a pattern from random events is a classic debating tactic, and it has certainly been successful of late.
A nifty feature of the application allows users to report each time they hear a particular argument against global warming. In the long run this could be a very interesting way of monitoring the effectiveness of global warming skeptics' campaigns. In the current version, the phone only shows the arguments that each user has reported, but anyone can go here to see which arguments are reported most often. Today, "Temp record is unreliable" is the winner, with 7.6% of all the votes.
Don't have an iPhone? You can still check out all the counter-skeptic arguments on the Skeptical Science website. Not as cool, perhaps, but cooler than the planet is going to be if we don't act soon.

Thank you for article.
Angela also commented on the absence of my profile. Well i don't need a profile to exist! i'm my own person; people will know me by my words. Profiles are made so we can be put into boxes and catagorised!
i'm in the 'doesn't believe in our global warming hoax' box!
oops! i wondered where that message went!
apologies to Angela C - a slip of the hand it seems.
HOWEVER, God has everything to do with this as He's the one who created this beautiful world!
The so called 'civilised' western nations have trashed this world with their industrialsation, robbing the native people of Africa of and america of their natural resources, to feed their greed - and the robbery continues today!
The ingidionous populations nurtured the land. Westoners brought ruin and disease to the indiginous people and their lands.
Polluters in every way!!!
Now, they are trying to get the sheeple of this world, mostly westerners, to believe a myth so they can steal even more!
climate change is natural - read your history, ancient civilisations and people who live close to the land have always had to adapt to the changes.
pollution is a fact - western so called civilisatons have created filth as a by-product of their unnatural way of life; a life contrary to Gods laws.
control - this is what the global warming leaders want - spying on our bins, producing toll roads. The next thing will be the introduction of a carbon currency. you just wait and see. Complete control is what the elite want, and people who feel all virtuous about being so green (in every sense of the word) but who don't understand the game, will end up giving them the right to enslave us all!
Have a nice day
Thanks for the article and interesting comments
My last post seems to have evaporated into the "ether", so I'm going to repost, with a bit of improvement:
Ruth Barrett-
You just have to know where to look! Follow the bread crumbs. Think about it (it's all there in the secret code in the IPCC report- why do you think it's 4 vol. when only 2 out of the scores of scientists have the right answer): All these polar bears now roaming around unable to reach ice floes because GW isn't happening and the chicken industry is producing millions and millions of entrails that they don't know what to do with. And there is HAARP pulsing megawatts at the ionosphere! Isn't it obvious?
The chemtrails point to the answer!
Thanks, Doctor V!
Great article!
They are poisoning their own people? - worldwide?
And such, increasing to raise temperature?
And blaming individuals being responsible for such?
There are some 1.250.000 search results at forestle.org on Chemtrailing in the net. What a topic...
Would you, please further explain?
Thus would prove their bias towards human live and esteem.
Our children!
Getting poisoned too.
Please, do not give up, informing us on event and the causes of Chemtrailing us.
And: What can we do against this aggression?
