The variety and type of creatures on this sub is impressive. I think Moons suggestions on making it a scroll and codex is a good idea. Also, some of the references can be turned to true links.
I wonder why this whole set of subs seems undervoted...

This is quite a good item. Moons comments about the effects on the character is a good one - being in literal Hell should leave a mark.
I would at least have the user now have infernal _attention_. It is not often that a soul gets to leave that place. I'm reminded of an old Dragon magazine comic that showed a character who managed to escape hell one time being waited for by a 'welcoming' committee after his final passing..

The apartment is very nice and cozy, location very convenient, 10 minutes walk to the ferry which we took every day (round trip with some bus routes included in the price). Avoided the tunnel as this is very busy and poluted, especially at evening hours. Once we took the ferry to south Manhattan, to Wall St, just to take pictures of Liberty statue in a better angle. Enjoyed the evening view of Manhattan from a very nice place, Son Cubano restaurant at the esplanade.
All in one, this trip was an amazing experience !

This is a very nice recipe. More for dinner with my boyfriend than for guests. I also deglazed the pan I cooked the chicken in, I used vermouth, white wine would also be delish. Although I didn't like the sour cream flavor, next time i will certainly use creme Fraiche or heavy cream.flag if inappropriate
I also say excellent! Once you roast the chilies, it is so easy and quick with wonderful flavor. I substituted the creme fraiche with fat-free half and half because I had it on hand and the overall flavor was still wonderful. Next time I may use more onions. I served this with Spanish rice and a Chopped Southwestern salad. It was too much food but and excellent menu.flag if inappropriate
Excellent!! I deglazed the pan I cooked the chicken in with some white wine and finished the sauce in that pan! Superb, simple and elegant!!flag if inappropriate

The present invention is directed generally to sorting packages within a delivery network. More specifically, the present invention provides systems and methods for using radio frequency identification tags to communicate sorting information to sorting operators.
The delivery of a package from a consignor to a consignee typically requires sorting the package at several locations before the package reaches the final destination. A conventional delivery network typically includes a series of customer service centers that receive and deliver packages, and several intermediate hubs that provide links between the service centers. The flow of a package through this delivery network typically begins at a service center. From there, the package flows through a series of intermediate hubs before reaching the destination facility responsible for delivering the package to the destination address. Within each intermediate hub, the package is sorted according to the destination address for the package and consolidated for transport to the next intermediate hub or service center in the delivery process.
The tremendous volume of packages flowing through the intermediate hubs creates a logistical challenge. To date, sorting at the intermediate hubs is a highly manual process that relies heavily on the knowledge-base of the sorting operator. The sorting operator reads the destination address zip code and service level from a shipping label on a package and sorts the package to the appropriate conveyor belt, bin, or chute. The sorting location for each zip code is specified in a series of standard sorting charts. Sorting charts are well known in the industry and specify the next sorting facility the package will pass according to a delivery plan. These sorting charts are typically indexed according to destination zip code and the service level of the package, wherein the service level of a package represents the committed delivery time for the package. The efficiency of the sorting operation depends on how quickly the sorting operator determines the appropriate sorting location for a package. To improve the efficiency, sorting operators memorize the zip codes associated with each sorting location and use the sorting charts sparingly. This highly manual process often results in sorting errors.
Typically, a sortation facility is directly linked to only a few sortation hubs in the network as shown in
Therefore an unsatisfied need exists for improved systems and methods for sorting packages within a delivery network that overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, some of which are discussed above.
The present invention seeks to provide more efficient systems and methods for sorting packages within a delivery network without relying on the knowledge base of the sorting operator. In furtherance of this goal, the invention seeks to use radio frequency identification to communicate sorting instructions to a sorting operator.
The present invention accomplishes these goals by providing novel systems and methods for identifying the appropriate sorting location using radio frequency identification tags.
In one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided for sorting an item. This system includes a plurality of RFID tags equipped with lights that illuminate in response to a communication; a plurality of sorting locations, wherein each of the sorting locations is associated with one of the plurality of RFID tags; a data capture device configured to capture sorting indicia from the item; a sort assist tool that receives the sorting indicia from the data capture device and associates a sorting instruction; and an interrogator that receives the sorting instruction and communicates with one of the plurality of RFID tags based at least in part on the sorting instruction such that the light on the one of the plurality of RFID tags illuminates.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for sorting a package is provided that includes the steps of: capturing shipping indicia from the package; identifying a sorting location based at least in part on the captured indicia; communicating with an RFID tag associated with the identified sort location; and illuminating a light associated with the RFID tag in response to the communication.
In a further aspect of the present invention, a system for sorting an item to one of a plurality of target locations is provided, wherein RFID tags equipped with a LED are associated with each of the plurality of target locations. The system includes a data capture device that captures indicia from the item, the indicia identifying the one of a plurality of target locations associated with the item, a sort assist tool that receives the indicia and identifies the RFID tag that is associated with the target location associated with the item, and an interrogator that communicates with the RFID tag and turns on the LED.
In a further aspect of the present invention, a system for identifying the location of an item is provided. This system includes a plurality of storage locations associated with a plurality of RFID tags, wherein the tags are equipped with an LED, a location tool configured to identify one of the plurality of storage locations for the item, and an interrogator that receives the storage location identity and communicates with an RFID tag associated with the storage location and illuminates the associated tag's LED.
Having thus described the invention in general terms, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale, and wherein:
The present inventions now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are shown. Indeed, these inventions may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the inventions are not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
The present invention provides novel systems and methods for sorting packages. In a preferred embodiment, radio frequency identification technology (RFID) is used to communicate sorting instructions to a sorting operator.
Radio Frequency Identification Technology
Radio frequency identification technology uses radio waves rather than optics to capture and transmit data. RFID is basically a form of labeling where electronic labels or tags are programmed with unique information and attached to objects to be identified or tracked. In RFID, electronic chips are used to store data that can be broadcast via radio waves to a reader, thereby eliminating the need for a direct line of sight and making it possible for tags to be placed virtually anywhere. Additional benefits of RFID are the greater data storage capacity of the RFID tag in comparison to the barcode and the decreased likelihood that the RFID tag will be destroyed or otherwise made unreadable.
A typical RFID system consists of a reader, a tag and a data processing system to process the data read from the tag. The tag also is called a transponder, an expression that is derived from TRANSmitter/resPONDER and, in some cases, the term tag is used for low-frequency (e.g. 125 kHz), whereas the term transponder is used for high-frequency (e.g. 13.56 MHz and 2.45 GHz) tags. But for purposes of this application the terms tag and transponder are used interchangeably. The complexity of the reader (sometimes referred to herein as an interrogator) can vary considerably, depending on the type of tag used and the function to be fulfilled. In general, a reader has radio circuitry to communicate with a tag, a microprocessor to check and decode the data and implement a protocol, a memory to store data and one or more antennas to receive the signal.
Unlike a barcode reader, which is limited to reading a single barcode at a time, a RFID reader may have more than one tag in its interrogation zone. The interrogation zone, as that term is used herein, refers to the area covered by the magnetic field generated by the reader's antenna. The process of reading a number of transponders within a system's interrogation zone is known as batch reading. Software applications known as anti-collision algorithms exist that permit a reader to avoid data collision from several tags that enter the interrogation zone at the same time. One of three different anti-collision techniques is generally implemented; these techniques are spatial, frequency and time domain procedures.
In the spatial domain technique, the reader restricts its interrogation zone in order to reduce the possibility that two different transponders fall into the area covered by the reader itself. With this technique, the number of readers needed to cover an area increases in proportion to the size of the covered area.
Frequency domain procedures are based on frequency domain multiplex techniques or spread spectrum technologies. In these systems, the reader broadcasts a status of frequencies allocated to the communication with the transponders, with frequencies flagged that are currently in use by a transponder. When a new transponder accesses the reader's coverage, it uses an unoccupied frequency to transmit its data.
Time domain anti-collision techniques are divided into two categories: interrogator and transponder driven procedures. In addition, interrogator driven time domain anti-collision procedures can be sub-divided into polling and binary search procedures. Polling techniques make use of the fact that a unique serial number is written to each transponder at the production stage. In the polling technique, the interrogator requests all possible transponder serial numbers until a transponder with a polled serial number responds. The polling procedure is typically slow and generally is limited to processes employing small numbers of transponders. The other interrogator driven procedure is the binary search. A binary search is faster than the polling technique, and is based on search algorithms that use binary trees of transponder identifiers. In the transponder driven anti-collision procedures, the transponder, rather than the interrogator, controls the data flow. In general, transponder driven procedures are based on the cyclic transmission of identifiers by transponders and are designed such that it is unlikely that any two transponders will send the same identifier at the same time.
RFID package tags may be active or passive depending on whether they have an on-board power source or not. In general, active tags use batteries to power the tag transmitter (radio) and receiver. This independent power source provides greater capabilities such as, for example, greater communication ranges, better noise immunity and higher data transmission rates than passive tags. But, these tags usually contain a greater number of components than do passive tags and therefore, are usually larger in size and are more expensive than passive tags. In addition, the life of an active tag is directly related to battery life.
In contrast, a passive tag reflects the RF signal transmitted to it from a reader and adds information by modulating the reflected signal. A passive tag does not use a battery to boost the energy of the reflected signal. But, a passive tag may use a battery to maintain memory in the tag or power the electronics that enable the tag to modulate the reflected signal. Passive tags have virtually unlimited life, but have shorter read ranges and require high-powered readers.
Package Delivery Network
While the present invention may be implemented in any operation requiring an operator to identify a location, for purposes of illustration, the invention will be described with reference to a package delivery network. The following paragraphs will describe an exemplary package delivery network.
With reference to
An exemplary package flow in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in
As used herein, a destination facility 17 is the last carrier facility to handle the package before the package is picked up by the consignee or delivered to the consignee by a delivery vehicle. This facility too is preferably a service center 11. But again, an intermediate sorting hub 12 or another carrier facility can serve as a destination facility from which packages are delivered to consignees, or from which packages are held for consignee pickup.
A delivery plan for a package designates which facilities a package will pass through on its journey from an origin facility to a destination facility. At each facility, packages are sorted according to the next facility downstream of the current facility based on the package's associated delivery plan. In a preferred embodiment, the packages are consolidated further according to a sorting instruction, which specifies a facility two or more facilities downstream in the delivery plan. For example, for the package flow shown in
The present invention may be implemented to aid the sorting processes at each of the facilities within the above described delivery network. More specifically, the present invention provides a visual indication of a sorting instruction to an operator.
Sort Assist System
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in
Packages received by a sortation facility are transported to a sorting area via conveyor 21. Preferably, conveyor 21 is a belt conveyor or roller conveyor; however, any package conveying device or method known in the art may be used in connection with this invention.
In a preferred embodiment, a data capture device 22 captures the destination zip code and service level from a label associated with a package. Alternatively, the data capture device 22 may capture a tracking number or other shipping label indicia from a package and use that to query a database of package data to determine the destination zip code and service level of the package. As will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, any shipping indicia may be used in connection with the present invention.
The data capture device 22 may be a barcode reader, an RFID interrogator or any other type of automated or manual data capture device known in the art.
As described in greater detail below, in a preferred embodiment, a sort assist tool 23 queries a sorting instruction database 24 with a destination zip code and service level that are captured from the package, and this query results in a sort instruction for the package. But, one of ordinary skill will recognize that the sorting instruction does not have to be determined from the destination zip code and the service level. Thus, for example, a carrier may offer only one service level, in which case, a sort plan can be determined from the destination zip code alone, or alternatively from the destination address alone. As will be apparent, the sorting instruction can be based on any combination of shipping indicia and the present invention is not dependent on any one approach.
As used herein, sorting instructions identify a specific sort location within a sorting area. This sort location is associated with a destination within the delivery network. Typically, this destination is a sort facility downstream of the current location that the package will pass through in route to the destination address. The sorting instruction may identify the sort location using a name, or code associated with the downstream sort facility. In the prior art, sorting charts provided a list of sorting instructions indexed by destination zip code and service level. The sorting instructions typically included the name of the next sort facility downstream in the delivery process. In the present invention, the sorting instructions are stored in electronic format in a sorting instruction database.
Once the destination address and service level have been captured and a sorting instruction identified for a package, the sorting instruction is sent to the RFID interrogator 30. The interrogator 30 searches a sorting area 31 for the RFID tag identified by the instructions received.
The sorting area 31 includes a plurality of sortation locations 32 with associated RFID tags 34. These RFID tags may be passive or active tags. The associated tags preferably have an incorporated LED 36 that illuminates when the tag communicates with an interrogator 30. Individual RFID tags 34 may be located using a preprogrammed RFID tag number that is associated with a sort location 32 by the sort assist tool 23. Alternatively, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art, individual RFID tags 34 may be distinguished using user-defined identifiers such as for example, a code or name associated with a sorting location 32.
In operation, the interrogator 30 locates and communicates with the RFID tag 34 identified by the sorting instructions. Preferably, the tag is located using a polling technique or a binary search routine, but as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, any method may be used to identify the appropriate RFID in connection with the present invention.
As stated earlier, the RFID tags preferably have an incorporated LED 36 that illuminates when the tag responds to a communication from an interrogator. Consequently, when the interrogator communicates with the tag identified by the sort instructions, the LED 36 on the tag illuminates and provides a visual indication of the appropriate bin, chute or conveyor belt for the sorting operator. This visual indication allows the operator to identify at a glance the appropriate location for a package. The LED 36 may be programmed to illuminate only during communication or may remain illuminated for a specified duration after initial communication with the interrogator 30. Alternatively, the LED 36 may flash thereby providing a more noticeable indication of the sorting location for the sorting operator. As will be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, any indication of a sortation location may be provided in connection with the present invention.
A benefit of the methods described above is that the sorting efficiency is no longer tied to the knowledge base of the sorting operator. Instead, the operator simply sorts the package according to visual indications provided by the RFID tags. This enables the carrier to increase the number of sort locations for a given operator. Additionally, the visual indication reduces the chance of sorting mistakes. Moreover, the sorting instructions for a specific zip code or service level may be changed and therefore the sorting plan for the delivery network as a whole without a significant learning curve because the sorting operation is no longer tied to the knowledge-base of the operator.
In an alternative embodiment of the sort assist system 10, the label associated with the package includes sorting instructions for the current location. The sorting instructions may include for example an RFID tag number or the name of the next facility in the delivery plan. In this embodiment, the data capture device 22 simply captures and communicates the sorting instruction directly to the RFID interrogator without querying a database. The interrogator 32 communicates with the RFID tag 34 associated with the identified location and in response, the tag illuminates a light 36.
In a further embodiment, the system does not include a conveyor 21. Rather, the items to be sorted are transferred proximate the sorting operator in a bin or in bulk. The sorting operator retrieves an item, captures the sorting criteria from the item, and the system provides a visual indication of the sort location 32 by illuminating an LED 36 incorporated in an RFID tag 34.
Item Location System
The foregoing paragraphs describe the invention in the context of systems and methods to identify a target destination of an item. Another aspect of the invention is using the RFID tag equipped with a LED to choose from a plurality of locations to identify a source of a good. The following paragraphs describe this aspect of the invention in the context of a pick and pack assist system, but one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the present invention is equally advantageous in other settings.
A pick and pack environment is illustrated in
An embodiment of the present invention is a pick and pack environment that includes a storage area 51 having a multiple storage locations 52, a location tool 53, and an interrogator 54. RFID tags 55 equipped with LEDs 56 are preferably associated with and disposed adjacent each storage location 52.
In a pick and pack operation, a purchase order that identifies one or more items to be included in an order is received at a pick and pack facility or area. The item or items listed in the purchase order are stored in storage area 51 and are preferably indexed by an item number or other unique item identifier. The storage location 52 for each item may be included on the purchase order, but as described below, an operator in the pick and pack station does not rely solely on the human-readable text of the purchase order to retrieve the identified item or items in the purchase order.
In one embodiment, the item number (or other unique indicia) is captured from the purchase order and entered into the location tool 53. The item number may be key entered by an operator or the information may be captured electronically using any data capture system that is known in the art, including, without limitation, bar codes, optical scan, and OCR. The location tool 53 then queries an item database 58 and retrieves a storage location 52 associated with the item and an RFID tag number that identifies the LED-equipped RFID tag associated with the identified storage location.
Depending on the type of information received at the location tool 53, the tool 53 may be configured to perform different types of queries. Thus, for example, if the purchase order includes information about the storage location 52 for one or more items in the order, the location tool 53 will use the storage location 52, rather than the item number, to query the item database 58 and retrieve the identifier for the LED-equipped RFID associated with that storage location 52.
In still another possible configuration, the location tool 53 receives a purchase order number and uses the purchase order number to query an order database that returns a list of all the items associated with that purchase order. The process may require only a single query that returns a list of every order item in the purchase order and the associated storage location 52 and RFID tag number associated with each order item. Alternatively, the location tool 53 may perform a series of queries to more than one database, such as, for example, a first query to obtain the list of order items associated with a purchase order and a second query to obtain the storage locations associated with each order item, and a third query to obtain the RFID tag associated with each storage location 52. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that any number of hardware and software architectures can be used with the present invention to associate an order item with a storage location and a storage location with an LED-equipped RFID tag.
Once the location tool 53 retrieves the RFID tag number or other indicia that identifies the LED-equipped RFID tag associated with the storage location 52 for an order item, the tool 53 passes the RFID identifier to an interrogator 54. In response, the interrogator 54 sends a signal to the LED-equipped RFID tag identified by that tag number and causes the tag to illuminate or turn on the associated LED.
The lit LED provides a visual indication to an operator that identifies which of the plurality of locations contains the order item to be added to the order. The operator may notify the location tool 53 that the item has been "picked" by pressing a key on a keyboard 56 in communication with the location tool 53. Alternatively, the storage locations may be equipped with conventional light curtains that are configured to send a signal to the location tool 53 when the curtain is broken by a user picking the item from the associated bin. As will be apparent to one of skill in the art, any method of sending an electronic signal to the location tool 53 notifying the tool that an item is picked may be used in connection with the present invention. In still another embodiment, the system does not identify when an item is picked and instead, the LED is lit for a predetermined period of time.
In one embodiment, the pick and pack processing proceeds on an item-by-item basis. Thus, in one embodiment, an operator serially scans each item in a purchase order and picks the item from the storage location identified by the lit LED. In the embodiment, wherein the entire purchase order is scanned at one time, the system may identify the location for every item in the purchase order at one time. Thus, if a purchase order was read that contained multiple order items, the system might cause the LEDs associated with several storage locations to light up at once, and the operator would retrieve the various order items for the purchase order from the various storage locations identified by the system. In one such embodiment, the light curtain described above could be used to count the number of items retrieved from each storage location and thus the operator would know to continue pulling items from the storage location until the LED turned off. One of ordinary skill will recognize that other control systems are known in the art for controlling and tracking inventory movement and can be used with the present invention.
One of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the present invention may be implemented in any environment wherein the location of an item is sought. For example, this concept may be used to locate an item in a warehouse that has a plurality of aisles or shelves, or to locate a vehicle in a parking lot.
Method for Using RFID Tags to Communicate a Location
At step 110, the destination address and zip code are captured for the package by the data capture device 22. In one embodiment, a sorting operator retrieves the package from a conveyor 21 and captures the shipping indicia using a handheld barcode scanner. Alternatively, a barcode scanner may be mounted to the conveyor 21 upstream of the operator, and the shipping indicia captured automatically. The captured data is communicated to the sort assist tool 23.
At step 120, the sorting assist tool 23, using the captured destination zip code and service level, associates a sort instruction to the package. The sort instruction preferably includes an RFID identifier. The sort assist tool 23 communicates the associated RFID identifier to the interrogator 30. Of course, the sorting instruction may include the name of the next facility in the delivery plan and the sort assist tool 23 would associate an RFID identifier with this sorting instruction.
At step 130, the interrogator 30 polls the RFID tags 34 within a sorting area 35 until the RFID tag identified by the sort assist tool 23 responds. When the tag responds, the tag illuminates a light 36 to provide a visual indication of the appropriate sort location 32 for the sorting operator at step 140. This light allows the operator to identify the appropriate sort location at a glance.
Computer System for Implementing the Invention
Turning to
The processor 61 also communicates with various peripherals or external devices using an I/O bus 66. In the present embodiment, a peripheral I/O controller 67 is used to provide standard interfaces, such as RS-232, RS422, DIN, USB, or other interfaces as appropriate to interface various input/output devices. Typical input/output devices include local printers 78, a monitor 68, a keyboard 69, and a mouse 70 or other typical pointing devices (e.g., rollerball, trackpad, joystick, etc.).
The processor 61 typically also communicates using a communications I/O controller 71 with external communication networks, and may use a variety of interfaces such as data communication oriented protocols 72 such as X.25, ISDN, DSL, cable modems, etc. The communications controller 71 may also incorporate a modem (not shown) for interfacing and communicating with a standard telephone line 73. Finally, the communications I/O controller may incorporate an Ethernet interface 74 for communicating over a LAN. Any of these interfaces may be used to access the Internet, intranets, LANs, or other data communication facilities. Finally, the processor 61 may communicate with a wireless interface 76 that is operatively connected to an antenna 75 for communicating wirelessly with another devices, using for example, one of the IEEE 802.11 protocols, 802.15.4 protocol, or a standard 3G wireless telecommunications protocols, such as CDMA2000 1× EV-DO, GPRS, W-CDMA, or other protocol.
An alternative embodiment of a processing system than may be used is shown in
Those skilled in the art of data networking will realize that many other alternatives and architectures are possible and can be used to practice the principles of the present invention. The embodiments illustrated in
It should be noted that any process descriptions or blocks in flow charts represent modules, segments, or portions of code that include one or more executable instructions for implementing specific logical functions or steps in the process. Alternate implementations are included within the scope of the present invention in which functions may be executed out of order from that shown or discussed, including substantially concurrently or in reverse order, depending on the functionality involved, as would be understood by those reasonably skilled in the art of the present invention.
Although the foregoing invention description uses a package delivery and a pick and pack environment as examples, it will be readily apparent that the present invention may be applied to any manual operation in which determining a location is necessary. Many modifications and other embodiments of the invention will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which this invention pertains having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

NDP asks Harper to send army to Attawapiskat
Leaders in Attawapiskat want the federal government to send in the army to help deliver supplies to deal with the housing crisis, Interim NDP Leader Nycole Turmel says.

Share via Email
OTTAWA—Leaders in Attawapiskat want the federal government to send in the army to help deliver supplies to deal with the housing crisis, Interim New Democratic Leader Nycole Turmel said Wednesday.
"Moving supplies into this community to alleviate the housing crisis will require an extraordinary level of coordination. Given the extreme weather conditions and the fact that the winter road will not be ready for nearly two months, the community is seeking coordinated logistical help," Turmel wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Wednesday.
"For this reason, they have asked me to convey that they are asking for military support to help in the response."
Turmel told reporters she made the request on behalf of Theresa Spence, the chief of the community that declared a state of emergency due to a housing shortage that had some families living in garden sheds.
NDP MP Charlie Angus (Timmins–James Bay) said the military has the logistical capacity to get supplies up to the Northern Ontario reserve — where he said the cost of flights is almost prohibitive.
"We could end this crisis very quickly," said Angus, who has been highlighting the plight of the community in his riding. "All we need is a nod from the Prime Minister."
Angus said he hoped the Conservative government would realize it made a mistake by sending in a third-party manager as part of its plan to deal with the crisis, which also included advancing half a million dollars for renovations on housing before the winter sets in.
The band council kicked the federal appointee out when he arrived in the community Monday night.
In a letter to Spence, Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan said, "I again cannot stress enough the need to work with the third party manager, our government and our partners to ensure the health and safety of the community."
He also said the government is prepared to evacuate some Attawapiskat residents until better housing is available. Another solution would be to retrofit a sportsplex and a healing centre as short-term accommodations, he wrote in the letter.
"Unlike the NDP, we are focused on the residents of Attawapiskat and not on scoring political points," Duncan said during the Commons question period on Wednesday. "We have been working around the clock on a plan to ensure residents, especially children, have warm, dry places to sleep. We have a plan. We are still committed to working with the band council and we urge it to be part of the solution going forward."

Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison gives instruction during practice in Ann Arbor on Aug. 16.

Eight days remain before the first game, and U-M defensive coordinator Greg Mattison is grateful for it.
"We're making strides (but) where we are, I don't know," he said. "I see times out there when we're approaching a Michigan defense, then I don't see it enough times. We've got to see it on a more consistent basis. We can't be the kind of defense that does something good, then the next day maybe not as good."
He spoke about trying to improve everyday and not repeating mistakes, and noted that he was seeing more improvement in technique. But Mattison said he won't accept the long camp and a lot of ...

Sherry Buchanan holds a picture of her grand daughter Navaeh, taken the same school year Nevaeh was abducted and believed murdered three years ago. "I want answers," she said regarding the unsolved case, "and so does the community." It still bothers her to see children running through the neighborhoods and playing unsupervised. "Those kids are just as vulnerable. There is a bad person still out there."

Lotto Generator1.0
editor's review
Lotto Generator is a tiny tool which was built in Java in order to help individuals generate multiple lottery numbers.
The upside of portability
You are not required to go through the installation process, as this product is portable. As a result, unlike installers, the Windows registry and hard drive are not going to be updated with new entries, and no leftovers are going to remain on the disk after you delete it.
It is also important to keep in mind that the program files can be moved to a USB flash drive and thus, take Lotto Generator anywhere with you and run it on any computer on the fly.
User-friendly GUI
The interface you come by presents a layout which can only be described as plain and simple, as it is comprised of a few boxes, a buttons and a pane in which to view results. It becomes quite obvious that, even if no Help contents are supported, this tool can be used by anybody, regardless of their previous experience with computers.
Method of use
This program enables you to generate random numbers, which can be used for the lottery with just a few clicks. In order to view the results, you have to input the start and end range, and the number of digits to generate, and simply click the only button in the main window. Your numbers are going to be displayed almost immediately, separated by columns.
Conclusion and performance
CPU and memory usage is low at all times, which means that the system's performance is not going to be affected. Jobs are finalized in a fair amount of time, the interface is suitable to all user categories and our tests did not reveal any errors, bugs or hangs.
Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say Lotto Generator is a simple, yet pretty efficient piece of software. However, we would have liked to see more options, such as saving the numbers to a file.

Ms. EstheticianRead MoreThough her business may be focused on detaching hairs, licensed esthetician Tiffany Taylor offers anything but detached service. Instead, she champions an "anti-spa" approach, cultivating a warmer, more relaxed atmosphere than what's found in many conventional beauty venues. At ME Beauty, she and her staff chat breezily with clients, refer to their treatments by witty names—for example, a chin wax is a "chinchilla"—and wear regular clothing instead of the overly official uniforms or hazmat suits a lot of other spas require. Although their attitudes may be casual, their dedication to their craft is anything but. They specialize exclusively in waxing for men and women, boasting rigorous training in the art of swift hair-removal. As a result, they can remove unwanted strands from most any body part between the toes and brows, such as the arms, chest, and bikini areas. They utilize a brand of professional wax sold out of Australia, and never double-dip during appointments. For sensitive zones, clients can purchase Dr. Edna's Bare Ease Cream right at the salon to apply to themselves prior to treatments, which can help lessen the treatment's sting.309 S Main St, Ste 250Rochester, MI US
Catching FirefliesRead MoreEvery year at Ann Arbor Fest, Catching Fireflies founders Steve and April paused from manning their paper-arts booth to admire the folksy paintings of local artist Chris Roberts-Antieau. When they finally saved up enough to purchase their favorite piece, "Catching Fireflies," it led to a flash of inspiration: a shop dedicated to showcasing similarly whimsical artwork and supporting local artists. Now, Catching Fireflies' inventory spans the spectrum, from leather-bound journals and wall art to children's toys, and has been lauded in Rochester-Rochester Hills Patch. Once customers have honed in on wares, staff can gift-wrap them free of charge, thereby eliminating the need to conceal them behind Groucho glasses.203 E University DrRochester, MI US
Village Lamp ShopRead MoreThe sunny yellow clapboards of a 135-year-old farmhouse announce the bright wares of the Village Lamp Shop, a family enterprise that has sold and repaired lighting elements since the days of the oil lamp. The Beuthien family sparked their business in the dawn of the 20th century, lighting candles and lamps for the observation of religious rituals. Now in its third generation, the lampsmiths specialize in filling homes with mid-century, retro, and antique fixtures restored to their original brilliance, as well as custom fabrication of everything from base to wavelength. Their handiness manifests in a line of cylinder lamps made on-site with '50s-inspired prints. The family's appreciation for kitsch and wry sense of humor comes to light through the store's mascot, Lou, a stereotypical 1950's partier who displays his spirit by crowning himself in a lampshade and singing Buddy Holly tunes off-key.139 Romeo RdRochester, MI US
Timeless Medical SpaRead MoreAt Timeless Medical Spa, Dr. Subnani and her team of youth-extension specialists perform cosmetic procedures such as SmartLipo body contouring and Dermosonic skin rejuvenation. By sticking to nonsurgical solutions, the staff avoids the complications of noisy operating theaters and the risk of mistakenly losing their patients in the infant ward. Besides in-office procedures, Dr. Subnani also simplifies weight loss with a medically supervised diet plan that focuses on homemade meals and nutritional IV therapy that detoxifies the body and replenishes its half-empty internal bottles of vitamins.542 N Cedar St.Imlay City, MI US
McCauley ChiropracticRead MoreChiropractors treat much more than back pain – something Dr. Ken McCauley learned at the age of 19. Suffering from debilitating migraines, Dr. McCauley reached out to a chiropractor after countless medical doctors unsuccessfully treated his skull-splitting episodes. The relief from the first adjustment was instantaneous, and that moment spearheaded his excursion to chiropractic school. Now a chiropractor himself, Dr. McCauley sweeps away migraines, neck and back pain, and joint injuries from sports such as football or raucous bocce ball matches. He accomplishes these feats with a variety of chiropractic techniques and on-staff massage therapists dispensing kneading sessions.115 S Main St.Rochester, MI US
