"I think that's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction," states the prosecutor. "The connotation with that theory is that MetroLink brings urban black youth into Richmond Heights to commit these crimes. That's not what I'm seeing in court. We're prosecuting blacks and whites."
It is a Tuesday afternoon in late July and Maggie Schoenberg, an assistant manager at retailer Jimmy'Z at the Galleria, is ecstatic after catching a group of teenagers trying to steal several pairs of jeans.
For Schoenberg, dressed in cowboy boots and an airy sundress that reveals ribbons of tattoos blanketing her arms, the apprehension itself is no big deal. She catches thieves looting the store every day. What makes this bust so spectacular is that Schoenberg says she's finally figured out how they do it.
"They leave their backpack unzipped just a bit," Schoenberg elatedly tells her fellow manager, Spencer Mozee. "Then their friends follow behind them, stuffing merchandise into the bag as they walk through the racks."
Schoenberg stops debriefing her colleague when she sees two young males enter the store. "See that guy with the dreads," she says. "He's a repeat offender. We've caught him in here stealing numerous times."
Schoenberg approaches the men with a smile. "Do you guys ever leave the mall?" she asks. "No," replies one of the men. "We're mall rats."
For the next five minutes, until the men leave the store, Schoenberg is at their side, offering assistance and watching their every move. "That's the way we're supposed to do it," she says. "Kill them with kindness. We see them conceal a piece of merchandise, and we ask: 'Could I get you something to go with that shirt you just stuffed down your pants?'"
Merchants including Macy's, Dillard's, Hollister and Claire's (a jewelry store for teens) frequently take shoplifters to court, but just as many retailers elect not to prosecute shoplifters.
"It's not worth the hassle," says the manager of another Galleria store. "If I want to prosecute someone, I have to call the police and spend an hour filling out reports and then another couple hours at court some night. Meanwhile, that leaves just one other clerk in the store to keep an eye on things. In the end, it's just easier to get the merchandise back and tell them to get on their way."
Galleria general manager Earl Dorsett maintains he doesn't keep crime statistics on the basis of an offender's age or other demographics. He claims to have never heard a complaint from mall tenants blaming the MetroLink station for increased shoplifting and arrests at the mall.
"MetroLink is just another way to get here," states Dorsett. "I'm not sure how those people would know if someone came to the mall by MetroLink or car. The conjecture may differ from the truth."
As for the mall's Parental Guidance Required policy, Dorsett says it was designed to create a "family-friendly atmosphere" at the mall, not serve as a crime deterrent. "It lets everyone know the code of conduct we expect of our customers," says Dorsett. "It's not meant to suggest that crime was committed by any particular age group or anything like that."
Try telling that to twelve-year-old Dante and his friends Recee, sixteen, and Unique, nine. On a recent Friday evening the three friends from North St. Louis County are walking through the mall when they're stopped by Galleria security and escorted to the door.
As he leaves the mall property, Dante takes a moment to stomp the life from a begonia plant spouting from the Galleria's manicured flower beds. He hurls a traffic cone into the street and tosses a sandbag from a construction site onto the sidewalk. "I'm angry," concedes Dante. "How are they going to kick me out of the mall? It's racist."
As they wait on the MetroLink platform, a security guard approaches Dante and his friends and asks to see their tickets. Together the three youths can't scrounge up more than the two dollars required for a one-way fare. The guard briefly lectures them about the fines they could face for riding Metro without a valid ticket, but the warnings fail to cause the kids any concern.
State law prohibits Metro from fining anyone under seventeen caught riding the train without a ticket. As the train arrives at the station, Dante and his friends walk past the guard and climb aboard. The doors close, and they're gone.
Joe Edwards sips an Old Fitzgerald bourbon and watches pedestrians shuffle past the windows of his landmark Loop restaurant, Blueberry Hill.
In the span of just 30 seconds, a couple walks by pushing a baby stroller down the sidewalk. A group of college students meander toward Ben & Jerry's. Teenage girls march up and down the street vying for attention. An elderly couple strolls toward the Tivoli Theatre.
"Where else in St. Louis can you find so many different people all in the same place?" asks the ponytailed Edwards. "I love sitting here and just watching it all. It's one of my favorite things to do."
It wasn't always this way. When he opened Blueberry Hill in 1972, Edwards says Delmar Boulevard was a down-in-the-heels string of boarded up buildings and a frequent cruising spot for motorcycle gangs and related thugs. "Back then I almost went out of business a couple times because I banned so many people from the bar," he recalls. "Eventually word got out that we weren't going to tolerate rude behavior. People changed."

Sabratha: Attractions and more...
The archaeological excavations of the ancient city, Sabratha, have been included on UNESCO's World heritage Site. The most impressive structure amidst these well-preserved ruins is the Theatre. It is a huge circular structure with archways and an amphitheatre-style seating arrangement. Many of the carved and mosaic figures adorning the walls are still visible.
The Forum or the baths face towards the sea and are spread over a large area and dotted with towering columns. The floors of the baths are laid with colourful tiles in beautiful patterns. In fact, a geometrical pattern in black and white tiles is also seen in the passageway leading to the House of Jason Magnus. Temples dedicated to Egyptian gods and goddesses and a Christian basilica are also found here.
The Museum of Sabratah in the vicinity holds many of the artefacts and relics found here during the excavation while some other have been transferred to the museum at Tripoli.

These special garments help sweat drain from the area and keep the body cooler while helping to prevent heat rash and chafing. Compression garments can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions such a chronic wounds and lymphedema. Chronic wounds or non-healing wounds are types of cuts, wounds, or ulcers which will not heal without medical intervention. Debridement or excising of the area is often needed in order to promote healing by the body. During this time compression stockings cam be applied over sterile dressing to provide pressure to the area which helps improve blood flow and circulation. Chronic wounds are caused by poor blood circulation to the area and after draining any fluid buildup and debriding the area, Compression garments increase circulation and allow for the body to naturally heal the wound. People who have diabetes and compromised immune systems are also at risk for chronic wounds.
Compression garments are often prescribed for treatment of lymphedema which is where the lymphatic system becomes blocked with fluid and waste which causes the infected area to become swollen. There are different types and grades of lymphedema which can be the result of an accident, injury, surgical procedure, cancer treatment, obesity and even hereditary. Anyone can become infected with lymphedema at any time during their life, regardless of age or sex. Compression garments worn when treating lymphedema are used to provide pressure to the infected area which improves circulation and movement of fluid. These special garments can come in varying compression strengths depending upon the degree of swelling form the lymphedema. The use of lymphedema pumps and manual massage along with the garments provides for a well-rounded treatment regimen.
BioHorizon Wound Care and Compression Therapy Specialists, provides people and medical professionals with Compression garments, compression devices, lymphedema pumps and other products. The company provides assistance to people seeking these garments and other equipment by helping them determine if their insurance provider will pay for the equipment, devices and garments and what portion will be an out-of-pocket expense. In certain qualifying conditions, insurance plans could cover the entire cost with no expense out-of-pocket. For more information or assistance with your compression devices, equipment, or garments, visit the website, or call 1-877-657-7353.

The GOP's gubernatorial vanguard in its war against public sector workers is on the attack, apparently, also gunning for the very idea of the rule of law. Meanwhile, even Politico can't spin it positive for the GOP.
UPDATE 2: More people are asking the question, whether Scott plans to make a profit on his new drug testing policy. Tick-tock…
UPDATE: Politico's Alexander Burns does his best to shade it positively for Republicans, but there's no mistaking the math:
It was supposed to be one of the clearest messages of the 2010 elections: Voters were finally fed up with government spending.
It felt like the usual rules had changed, and that Americans were worried enough about the size of government to support a new era of belt-tightening. They wanted leaders to make the tough choices – and would stick by the ones who did.
First of all, the clearest message from the 2010 elections, and that's in every single poll, was that Americans were deeply concerned about jobs. The idea that Americans were mostly demanding spending cuts is a fiction created by the beltway media, because, it turns out, that's what they want to talk about on television. Now back to our regularly scheduled GOP spin-cum-journalism:
Now, a new wave of polling has challenged that consensus, raising serious questions about whether voters really are yearning for a grown-up conversation about the cost of government — or would simply rather keep punting the problem down the road, just like in the past.
Editorialize much, Alexander?
Almost every governor who's tried to deliver a take-your-medicine message has paid a price. And widespread polling data suggests a chasm between what Americans say they want and the price they're prepared to pay to get there
Next, Alexander will do his best to insert Democratic bad news in with the across-the-board backlash against the GOP:
In Ohio, Republican Gov. John Kasich's approval rating stood at just 30 percent last week, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Earlier in the month — even before Kasich detailed a budget featuring cuts to Medicaid, local governments and more — the University of Cincinnati had that number at 40 percent. Both surveys showed nearly half of voters disapproved of Kasich.
In Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Dan Malloy is also underwater in the polls—he clocked a 35-percent approval, 40-percent disapproval rating after unveiling a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts to close a more than $3 billion deficit.
Even New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – an icon of conservative austerity, whose clashes with big labor and tough-talking ways have made him a national Republican hero – has seen voters respond with hesitation to his spending plan.
Christie's favorability rating is still in barely positive territory, but a Rutgers-Eagleton poll found it dropped by a net of 10 percentage points in the wake of Christie's February budget address.
No, Alexander! Not Chris Christie!!! … But … but … Joe Scarborough tells me that he is God… and that EVERYBODY adores him! **pauses to weep uncontrollably…**
After that, the article is a lot … and I do mean a LOT … of focus on Malloy, with some poll data alluding to the big, honking red flags for Republicans. Hey, we're talking Politico here. But you get the idea. Republicans budget-slashing mania (most of which doesn't actually address budgets, but rather is a nationwide attempt to hobble unions while ramming through major tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, while passing the bill on to teachers, cops and firefighters) isn't going over well with actual working people.
Go figure.
In Florida, Felonious Monk (A/K/A Rick Scott) is serving up a policy of mandatory, random drug tests for all state employees reporting to the executive branch (as well as anyone receiving public assistance) that will serve the twin purposes of humliating and demonizing the state workers Republicans so despise, while also potentially lining his pockets by pushing tens of thousands of new custormers to the chain of walk-in clinics he has temporarily signed over to his wife. However, Scott's push could very well be … wait for it … illegal. Per the Miami Herald:
"It's the right policy, public policy,'' Scott told reporters. But federal courts generally have ruled that such policies violate the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches, say attorneys and legal scholars.
"You can't do blanket tests like that. They're facially unconstitutional,'' said Ephraim Hess, a Davie attorney who prevailed over the City of Hollywood in April 2000 when U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp ruled that governments cannot require prospective employees to take drug tests unless there is a "special need,'' such as safety. Ryskamp's ruling led other South Florida cities, such as Pembroke Pines, to abandon their policy of drug testing all job applicants.
Random drug-testing of current government workers also has been limited to those in jobs that affect public safety and to cases where a reasonable suspicion of abuse exists, according to a December 2004 federal court ruling in a case that involved Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice.
In that case, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Hinkle ruled that the DJJ violated the Fourth Amendment in ordering random drug-testing of all the agency's 5,000-plus employees.
Hinkle ordered the agency to stop random drug-testing and pay $150,000 to the employee who sued, Roderick Wenzel.
Wenzel, a strategic planner who had no contact with children, was fired for refusing to submit to a drug test — despite his having received positive job evaluations and prizes for his performance, such as the Florida Taxwatch Davis Productivity Award.
"It definitely should have been settled,'' Wenzel said last week after hearing of the governor's order reinstating the policy. "I take it this is either Rick Scott's lack of respect for public employees, or he's ignorant of the law.''
State agencies already are allowed, but not required, to screen job applicants for drugs, under the Florida Drug-Free Workplaces Act. The law allows state agencies to test employees if there is a reasonable suspicion that workers are on drugs. But that suspicion must be well-documented, Hess said, and employees must be informed of the policy prior to testing.
Nationally, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed random across-the-board testing of employees in certain circumstances: "Where risk to public safety is substantial and real'' or where "public safety is genuinely in jeopardy'' by the possible use of drugs, such as school bus drivers or police officers.
Scott's order applies to all employees and prospective hires in agencies that answer to the governor, and could affect as many as 100,000 people. Scott also supports a state Senate bill that requires all cash-assistance welfare recipients over the age of 18 to pay for and receive a drug test, a policy that could affect about 58,000 people.
Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, when they're not busy rifling through the emails of a university professor who expressed thoughts that displeased the corporate overlords, like so many Libyan government minders, Scott Walker and his allies are attempting an end-run around both the law and the state's attorney general in their attempt to jam through a law gutting collective bargaining rights for public employees:
Secretary of State Doug La Follette said Saturday that the budget-repair bill has not taken effect because it has not been published by his office.
"It's still an act of the Legislature that has not yet become law because I have not yet designated a publication date," La Follette said.
He added the law cannot take effect until he directs publication in the official state newspaper, the Wisconsin State Journal. Normally, a bill takes effect the day after publication.
La Follette's declaration added another twist in the drawn-out drama surrounding Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill, which curtails collective bargaining for most public employees.
After weeks of demonstrations at the state Capitol, a walkout by Senate Democrats and a final push by Republicans to pass the measure, the bill's fate, at least for now, would appear to be in the hands of the courts.
A Dane County judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing La Follette from publishing the measure. But late Friday, the bill was published by the Legislative Reference Bureau, which was not named in the restraining order.
The director of the bureau, Stephen Miller, said Friday that publishing the bill was a "ministerial act" and that it still had to be published in the official state newspaper for it to become effective.
The Department of Administration said Friday that it will carry out the law. …
Over to Ohio, where Fox News governor John Kasich is touring the state, attempting to give his draconian budget the old song and dance — and getting a quite chilly reception:
Smiling and upbeat, Kasich paced the stage inside the cavernous Capitol Theatre on Tuesday evening, iPad in hand, reading questions that people from across the state had sent in via Twitter.
"We have balanced this budget with no smoke and mirrors, and we have done it in a way that will put Ohio on a path to growth," he said. "People said: 'How could you do it? It's not doable!' No more kicking that can down the road. Can't do that anymore in Ohio."
Despite his best efforts to win over his audience, however, his performance was met with only sporadic applause from the crowd of nearly 900. Kasich received tough questions from Republicans and downright skepticism from Democrats as well as teachers and other public workers who say his proposals would gut schools and government services.
Like other governors across the country whose states are drowning in debt, Kasich is caught between making good on his campaign promises to reduce the size and cost of government, and avoiding an electoral backlash if voters decide that the GOP is cutting too deeply into programs that matter most to them.
"We actually were looking to buy a house, and we stopped doing that because we don't know what our income is going to be," said Hope Rummell, a police officer from Alliance, Ohio, who voted for John McCain in 2008 but is alarmed by what Republicans are doing in her state now.
"Nobody gets rich being a police officer or being a fireman," said Rummell, whose husband is also on the police force. "We're strong middle class. We went to college, and we do okay. But we have a real fear that this will kill out a large percentage of our middle class in this state."
Not surprisingly, the polls are not kind:
According to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, in the eyes of the public, specific spending cuts and tax increases range from marginally acceptable to extremely unpopular.
Fewer than four in 10 of those surveyed would support reduced spending on roads and infrastructure, increases in state income or sales taxes, or layoffs of state employees. Only about two in 10 would support cuts to Medicaid, closing or limiting access to parks and recreation areas, or reducing aid to public schools. And there is virtually no support for laying off teachers, police officers or firefighters.
There is also no consensus among Democrats, Republicans and independents for budget cuts, complicating any efforts to build broad public support for closing gaps in state finances.
There is, however, wider support for limiting pay and benefits for state workers. Fifty-five percent of survey respondents support freezing wages for state employees, and 51 percent back reducing pension benefits for new state workers.
The implication that Republican overreach in the rust belt could harm the party's prospects in 2012 is not lost on anyone, including the British:
Throughout most of 2008, as the economy careered into depression, just over one in four believed Bush was handling the economy well. As Bush prepared to leave office in January 2009, bequeathing bank bailouts, rampant unemployment, and Iraq and Afghanistan in tatters, a quarter of the country approved of his presidency.
These are national polls that span the political spectrum. So you can imagine how concentrated the distortions become when filtered through the tainted lens of the right. A poll earlier this month revealed that a quarter of Republicans believe a community rights organisation called Acorn will try to steal the election for Barack Obama next year, while 31% aren't sure whether it will or not. It won't. Because Acorn does not exist. It was defunded and disbanded after a successful sting operation by conservatives a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile, a poll last month showed that a majority of Republicans likely to vote in the primaries still believe Obama was not born in the United States. He was. But no number of verified birth certificates will convince them.
Such is the nature of the electorate that will select Obama's principal opponent for the 2012 election. And such is the reason why a viable Republican contender has yet to emerge despite trough-loads of money and the Republican successes of the mid-terms. Among Republicans the latest polls suggest a crowded, splintered field of possibles with Mike Huckabee leading on 19%, followed by Mitt Romney on 15%, Sarah Palin on 12% and Newt Gingrich on 10%.
And if Republicans are unconvinced, Democrats are untroubled. When Obama is pitted against any of them in six states he took from Republicans in 2008, polls suggest he would win all but one — he would lose to Huckabee in North Carolina by 1%. He fares best against Palin, trouncing her by double figures everywhere but Ohio. Despite his favourability ratings suggesting the nation is evenly divided on his job performance, a national Pew poll suggests 47% would back Obama's re-election against 37% who would prefer a Republican and 16% who did not know.
So what's a Republican Party to do? If you're Jim DeMint, you predict that even more potential candidates to enter the already crowded three-ring circus.
Happy sledding!

Without trying to sound like a crusader of some sought, I firmly believe every business, especially small businesses and startups; require the services of an Accountant.
They can be employed on a full time basis or contracted as a consultant to provide accounting services. Apart from basic bookkeeping services accountants are also supposed to use entries made during bookkeeping to generate important financial reports for management or the owners of a business.
Here are five very important reports I believe your accountant must give you periodically.
1. Bank reconciliation statement
At times, when you look at your bank account balance you may see an amount that is different from the balance you have in your cash book either kept by yourself or by your accountant. The reason for this is, either you have paid out cheques that are yet to clear from your bank account because the beneficiary is yet to present it to the bank for withdrawal or due to a delay in posting the entry by the bank before your report is presented to you.
It could also be that whilst you have acknowledged being paid cheques in your books you may not have lodged in the actual cheques in the bank.
Therefore, bank reconciliation is an attempt to reconcile your bank balances as recorded in your books with that of the bank as show in the bank statements.
This report must be prepared at the least monthly by your accountant to ensure that you properly track all cheque payments and receipts.
2. Management accounts
Management Accounts are a set of accounts that include your balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statements along with the notes to the accounts.
They reveal to you how your business has performed within stipulated period and also reveal a snap shot of your financial position at any given time.
Management Accounts are probably the most important document an accountant must give you as it contains the financial position of your company which stakeholders such as your shareholders, financiers and even the tax authority will rely upon for various reasons.
They can be produced monthly, quarterly, bi annually or annually depending on the management's reporting policy.
It is preferable to present this report at the least quarterly for businesses with turnover higher than N100million and monthly for businesses with turnover less than N100million.
3. Daily sales report
Your daily sales report reveals how much sales or revenue your business has generated at any given time.
Your sales report help you track for example, revenue growth and sources of revenue.
It can also be tailored to reveal sales by segment, per week, per month or by volume. This is often prepared side by side a comparative period to help you analyse trends effectively.
A sales report will contain names of customers who bought goods or services, amount paid, quantity bought, price per unit, type of good or service, commissions if any, value added tax component, WHT if deducted from your invoice, good returned.
4. Debtors and creditors report
Whilst your marketers can claim having made sales it doesn't actually mean that money has been received. Also, when you purchase goods and services from your suppliers you may not need to pay them immediately.
These can represent extra money for you or even less money depending on how you manage the cash flow information the report provides.
When your debtors are growing faster than your creditors it means, that you are increasingly getting lesser cash per sales made compared to higher payments you make per purchases delivered.
A debtors and creditors report should be categorised into periods such as those currently owing, those owing within 30 days, those owing between 30 and 60 days and those owing over 90 days.
When you receive this report monthly, it easily helps you spot any potential liquidity crisis that you may face or a even a debt that if not taken seriously may be lost forever.
5. Cash inflow and out flow statement
Your accountant should keep cash in flow and outflow statements that reveals how cash is spent on a daily basis.
Because a lot of cash transactions are carried out in Nigeria, companies are fond of keeping loads of cash in the office, which they ordinarily would have kept in the bank.
To ensure this cash flow is properly accounted for, your accountant must provide you with a daily inflow and out flow of cash at least weekly.
This report can help you expose any fraud such as teeming and lading which is a common way of stealing cash even when it appears it is available in the cashbook.
A business owner may regularly be told he has N100,ooo cash which may not be the case as money can be taken out and never replaced by your cashier and yet deceptively show that the cash is there in the books.
This risk is often mitigated when you conduct random spot cheques to see of the cash stated in the "inflow – Outflow" is actually represented physically in the safe.

It's Spring, And I am still running
It's been a minute nothing really going on to report in my running, or maybe I have just been so consumed with my garden and Pinterest that I have just been neglecting my blog (I have though pretty much kept up with Dailymile and a few Facebook posts) but I do believe my hiatus is over. So these last few weeks I have been pretty productive I....
...Finished my couch to 5k training plan.
....just started my 10 week 1/2 marathon training plan.
...I purchased an ipod shuffle this way I won't have to run my phone battery out listening to music which I have done in the past. which also mean I am in need of a new running playlist, so what's on your playlist these days??
and last but not least I finally (Leap Day to be exact) registered for my next 1/2 Marathon

A pact with the devil
The scholar Faust did not care about others. He had no respect for humans or for any god. The only thing Faust respected was knowledge and, from an early age, he had one goal in life. He wished to become the most knowledgeable man the human race had ever known. How much knowledge could a man's brain hold? Faust intended to devote his life to finding out.16 Apr 2012 - 12:00am

Q: Do you find it overwhelming working with large groups of children?
A: I'm not going to lie. It's a challenge, but definitely not overwhelming. The thing about dealing with large groups of children in a big show is to channel their excitement in the right direction. Actually, working with children is better than working with adults. No doubt about that.8 Jun 2001 - 12:00am

Jewish Obama Supporters, Telling Obama Critics to Keep There Mouths Shut.
Abby W. Schachter writes in the NY Post: Obama's Jews are at it again. The Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee are once more advocating that the President's critics shut up. Last time it was about Israel, this time it is about religion.
According to a letter entitled "Religion in political campaigns — An interfaith statement of principles" , signed by a variety of religious organizations, there should be less discussion of religion among those seeking political office. After allowing that those running for office are "free to worship as they choose" (well, thank you very much!) the letter warns as follows:
"There is a point, however, where an emphasis on religion in a political campaign becomes inappropriate and even unsettling in a religiously diverse society such as ours. Appealing to voters along religious lines is divisive. It is contrary to the American ideal of including all Americans in the political process, regardless of whether they are members of large and powerful religious groups, religious minorities, or subscribe to no faith tradition."
Signatories include the usual suspects in terms of Jewish Obama defenders — the ADL, the AJC, and the Union of Reform Judaism. Funny. but these groups didn't see fit to warn against religiously-based Jewish endorsements of Candidiate Obama in 2008, for example the group Rabbis for Obama . Somehow advocating casting a vote for the Democratic presidential candidate for religious reasons wasn't "divisive" back then.
And this latest effort comes on the heels of a previous campaign by ADL and AJC to stop anyone from criticizing Obama for his Israel policies .
When will these organizations learn that trying to silence free expression is what is divisive and inappropriate.
Liberal Jews hitched their wagons to Obama and can't stand the fact that they backed such a lame horse. That is their problem. Trying to cover up for their terrible judgement with blanket pronouncements about what is acceptable speech and what isn't just covers these groups in greater shame.

It is a terrific video, and has the power to recruit and energize millions of people.
Doing my best to spread it around.
May 31, 2014 at 8:14 am
I think the video is confused since it conflates the EU with promotion of mass immigration and 'multiculturalism'. Mass immigration and 'multiculturalism' will continue in Europe regardless of whether there's an EU or not. It's got nothing to do with the EU.
Also, I don't know whether it is due to fear of stating their grievances openly or a simple oversight but when you complain of losing national sovereignty and mass immigration and multiculturalism in the context of denouncing the EU it obfuscates what exactly it is they're complaining about. There's a lot of white immigration between the various EU member states; are they complaining about THAT or are they complaining about the massive influx of third worlders? Americans watching this would assume they mean the latter but in a European context it's a tad ambiguous whether they're concerned about the loss of the distinctive ethnic culture of the EU member states due to open borders within Europe or the loss of White European identity in general due to massive third world immigration.
In many European countries complaining about the latter could get you imprisoned so the ambiguity here may well be intentional.

An X-ray diagnostic generator has a high voltage means to supply energy to an x-ray tube and a high voltage regulating means housed in a common oil-filled tank.
1. In an X-ray diagnostic generator suitable for use with a plurality of externally located X-ray tubes, having a high voltage step-up transformer with a secondary connected to high voltage means for rectification, an improvement comprising:
a single, oil filled, closed housing having AC input connection means connected to a primary of the high voltage step-up transformer, output high voltage connection means adapted to be switchably connected to the plurality of X-ray tubes to supply high voltage between an anode and a cathode of a selected X-ray tube, and
first and second high voltage control means responsive to external control via control leads, each of said control means being connected between a rectified output of a corresponding one of the high voltage means for rectification and a corresponding section of said output high voltage connection means, each of said high voltage control means being adapted to regulate the output high voltage, and
said high voltage step-up transformer being positioned and of sufficient dimensions to provide electrical shielding, said high voltage step-up transformer being positioned between said first and second control means to provide electrical shielding therebetween.
2. The improved x-ray diagnostic generator according to claim 1 wherein:
said high voltage step-up transformer comprises a three-phase step-up transformer.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my earlier filed application, U.S. Ser. No. 960,861, filed Nov. 15, 1978, and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an x-ray diagnostic generator comprising an x-ray tube, a high voltage generator to supply the x-ray tube and a regulating part arranged on the high voltage side, in which the high voltage generator and the regulating part are housed in an oil-filled tank.
The regulating part in an x-ray diagnostic generator of this type can consist of one or a plurality of control tubes which are connected in series with the x-ray tube and whose grid voltage is adjusted in such a manner that the desired x-ray tube voltage is present at the x-ray tube. The regulating part can also serve to engage and disengage the x-ray tube.
2. The Prior Art
It is known to provide separate tanks for the regulating part and the high voltage transformer, which tanks are connected to one another via high voltage cable.
The object of the invention is, vis-a-vis the state of the art, to significantly simplify and reduce in price an x-ray diagnostic generator of the type initially cited.
This object is inventively achieved in that the high voltage generator is arranged between sections of a regulating part. In this design of an x-ray diagnostic generator, a high voltage cable between high voltage generator and regulating part is eliminated. A simplification is also produced because only a single tank is provided, and it is not necessary to have a ground shield between sections of the regulating part.
FIG. 1 shows a known x-ray diagnostic generator by means of a diagrammatic view;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a second known x-ray diagnostic generator;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of an exemplary embodiment in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic illustration of the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 3 showing the physical relationship between the control tubes and the transformer.
In FIG. 1, an x-ray diagnostic generator of a known type is illustrated. It includes an oil-filled tank 1, on which connections 2 of a high voltage transformer 3 for connection to the three-phase network, and high voltage connections 4 are conducted to the outside. In the tank 1, beyond the high voltage transformer, two high voltage rectifiers 5 connected in series are also arranged, which rectifiers are connected to the secondary windings of the high voltage transformer 3, and whose positive and negative poles respectively are conducted to the connections 4. The connections 4 are connected via high voltage cable 6 with high voltage connections 7 on a second oil-filled tank 8, which connections 7 lead to two switch and control tubes 9 for the high voltage. The switch and control tubes lie in series with an x-ray tube 11 which is connected at the high voltage connections 10. In tank 8, further, a filament transformer 12 is arranged, which conducts the filament voltage to the x-ray tube 11 via one of the high voltage connections 10 and a filament voltage connection 13. The primary energy is supplied to the filament transformer 12 via connections 14. For the control of the high voltage at the x-ray tube 11, an actual value generator 15 for producing a signal that corresponds to the actual x-ray tube voltage is also arranged in the tank 8. The control grids of the control tubes 9 and the connections of the actual value generator 15 are also conducted to the outside of the tank 8, in a manner not illustrated.
Disadvantageous in the known x-ray diagnostic generator illustrated in FIG. 1, is that, because of two oil-filled tanks 1, 8 and in particular also because of the necessity of a high voltage cable 6 between the two tanks 1 and 8, the expense for the high voltage side of the x-ray diagnostic generator is relatively high.
FIG. 2 also shows a known x-ray diagnostic generator. In FIG. 2, elements common to FIG. 1 are given the same numeric designation. In FIG. 2, a grounded metal plate 20 is positioned between the two control means or tubes 9a, 9b. The grounded plate 20 electrically isolates the high voltage control means or tubes 9a and 9b from one another.
In FIG. 3, component parts that are the same as component parts of FIG. 1 are referred to with the same reference numbers. It follows, that the high voltage generator consisting of the high voltage transformer 3 and the high voltage rectifier 5 is housed in a common oil-filled tank 16 together with the control tubes 9, the actual value generator 15 and the filament transformer 12. In FIGS. 1 and 3, the regulator connected to the actual value generator 15 and to the grids of the control tubes 9 is not illustrated for the sake of clarity. It is disposed in an electronics cabinet outside of the tank 8 or 16, respectively.
In FIG. 4 the physical relationship between the control tubes 9a, 9b and transformer 3 is shown. In FIG. 4, the high voltage transformer 3 and the rectifiers or rectifier means 5a, 5b are positioned between the control means or tubes 9a, 9b in the single oil-filled tank or housing 16. The high voltage transformer 3 thus separates the potentials on the control tubes 9a, 9b. Thus, due to the positioniing of the transformer 3 between the control means or tubes 9a, 9b, a very reliable, less expensive, single tank x-ray diagnostic generator may be formed without incorporating the shielding plate 20.
In the x-ray diagnostic generator of FIG. 4, it will be understood that the cathode of tube 11 could be heated by a low voltage isolation transformer such as transformer 12 of FIGS. 1 and 3.
Within the framework of the invention, any one of a plurality of x-ray tubes is connectable at the output of the regulating part via high voltage switches at any given time.
It may be apparent that many modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts and teachings of the present invention.
The housing of the transformer 3 in FIG. 4 should be connected to ground.

Portability, comfort, and inspiring sound.
The Yamaha SLG110S Steel String Silent Guitar lets you practice with headphones, yet enjoy the realistic sounds of an acoustic instrument. The steel-stringed Yamaha silent guitar features a lightweight maple body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and breaks down quickly to fit into the included gig bag for easy transport.
The silent acoustic-electric guitar has mini-stereo inputs for plugging in a MP3 or CD player for play-along. The Yamaha acoustic-electric guitar interfaces well with acoustic-effects processors, P.A.s and amps. Also includes a durable gig bag.
Silent design makes it perfect for home use or practice
Compared with a normal acoustic guitar the Silent Guitar "acoustically" produces only 1/100th the amount of sound energy and 1/10th the amount of sound volume (tested in-house). Such excellent silent characteristics make it great for playing anytime or anywhere.
Built-in DSP effect adds the richness of reverb
Electronics include L.R. Baggs pickups and an internal DSP. The digital effects taken from the class-leading SPX studio effects and industry-standard digital mixing consoles developed by Yamaha Commercial Audio, audiophile quality and the ambience of a warm, small room or luxurious large hall are with you wherever you are. 4 effects are avavailable; Reverb1, Reverb2, Chorus and Echo.
AUX IN lets you play along with your favorite recordings
Connect a CD or cassette player, etc. to the AUX IN jack and play along with your favorite recordings. This feature is a great way to improve your playing quickly. An AUX volume control offers greater control over sound balance.
Detachable frame offers comfort and easy transport
The Silent Guitar's unique design offers excellent comfort and support even when played while seated. A cutaway design provides full access to the upper frets. The upper frame detaches from the main body and fits, along with the rest of the guitar, neatly into a compact case that makes carrying easy.

The cast of director Steve McQueen's (Hunger, Shame) Twelve Years a Slave just added another outstanding talent as Deadline is reporting that Michael Kenneth Williams (Boardwalk Empire) has been pegged to star alongside Michael Fassbender, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Brad Pitt in the film. Williams will play Robert, a mutinous slave in the movie.
Based on Solomon Northup's 1853 novel of the same name, Twelve Years a Slave will revolve around a free black man who is drugged and dragged to the South to be sold into slavery. There is no firm release date yet, but the movie will most likely hit theaters at some point in 2013.
