I'm an artist from Kitchener, Ontario. I like to create art that is uplifting and positive--paintings that have meaning for the owners-- portraits of people they know and love, and of places they�ve been to or hope to visit one day. I paint landscapes, portraits, florals, and still life. There is beauty everywhere--in the patterns in the fabric of a sari, in the textures on the bark of a tree, in the colours on the peel of an apple, in the light in a person's eyes. ...To see more of my artwork, visit my website at www.sheiladiemert.com , my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ArtBySheilaDIemert

CorporateWarfare Corporate Warfare YKTTW Discussion
|Corporate Warfare
Taking "Cola Wars" a bit literally.Needs Examples Tropeworthy? Description Needs Help Needs Examples
A common feature of Mega Corps, both real and fictional, is the possession of private armies and the ability to wage war. A staple of Cyberpunk media. Megacorporations typically are depicted as having "Company Security Forces" which are often as powerful as the military of a small nation. Besides the option for open warfare, they also heavily indulge in covert operations against their business rivals, ranging from espionage to sabotage and "wetwork", meaning assassinations of key personell. In Real Life the East India Trading Companies officially conquered and outright governed large areas of India in the name of their home nations. Compare Mob War. Contrast to One Nation Under Copyright where the corporations literally are nations. May involve an Army of Lawyers. Anime and Manga
- Spice and Wolf: During certain arcs (namely the devalued coins one), there is a trade company that has enough men to do the thug and garrote routine without problem by sheer force of numbers. The other Traders had a nice Intel network of the city maps and then Lawrence has Holo. Considering the setting the idea of using men for pressuring and muting the lone merchant they scammed is logical from their point of view. Karma on the other hand...
- Parodied in the Cursed Earth storyline in Judge Dredd. Gengineered mascot creatures battle each other for supremacy long after the corporations they represent have vanished. (Last I heard these chapters could not be reprinted due to trademark infringement.)
- In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the antagonist faction was the corporate army of the Trade Federation, secretly controlled by Darth Sidious. In Episode II-III and The Clone Wars, the Separatist army was also created as an amalgamation of several corporate armies.
- The English East India Company is featured in the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Not only do they have a private fleet and army with a worldwide reach, they also control the Flying Dutchman. The Company wages war on all pirates, intent to wipe them out.
- The premise of the original Rollerball was that corporations had taken over for governments and waged wars on each other, until they decided wars were too expensive to their bottom line and instead invented the game of Rollerball where the companies could battle it out in the arena.
- Robocop 3 has Omni Consumer Products (and it's new shareholders the Kanemitsu Corporation) hire a band of mercenaries to force out the inhabitants of Old Detroit. To combat this, the regular folks form a underground resistance. Oh, just to make sure their investment pays off, Kanemitsu sends robot ninjas to aid their hired guns.
- The film Matewan involved conflict between a coal company which controlled most of a West Virginia town's economy, and local miners endeavoring to form a union in the 1920s. The company had contracted with a Pinkerton-style mercenary force called the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency, which sent a platoon of gunmen into the town to suppress the miners' strike. Truth in Television: this film was loosely based on true events that occurred in Matewan, West Virginia at that time. And suppression of unions through such means was common elsewhere in the U.S. in that era, often involving the actual Pinkertons.
- In Jennifer Government, the corporate alliances come to the brink of all-out warfare, and step slightly over the line a few times before coming to their senses due to John Nike's influence.
- In John Van Stry's "Children of Steel" series wars between corporations over mines in distant systems aren't uncommon. Freighter crews (comprised mainly of indentured animen) are trained in combat and ships are easily converted into troop transports.
- In Eoin Colfer's The Supernaturalist the term "paralegal" has come to mean commandos with law degrees.
- Classic Traveller supplement The Traveller Adventure. When Imperial MegaCorps decide to get rough they engage in "tradewars". They send out military forces to attack the other corporation's offices, factories, starships and other property. This can involve killing the other company's workers and management.
- A staple (And the main source of employment of the PCs) in Shadowrun.
- Cyberpunk2020 is a prime example, featuring a full-scale Corporate War between two of the biggest megacorps as a world-changing event.
- Mutant Chronicles had several Megacorps duking it out for supremacy in the solar system before and after everything really went to hell.
- Corporations are the equivalent of player guilds in EVE Online, and they're able to go to war with one another.
- Dark Orbit's Excuse Plot is that three mining corporations don't get along and your job is to kill everyone not working for your corp.
- The Mega Corps of Tachyon: The Fringe each maintain a private Space Navy, theoretically to protect their supply chains from piracy. They're not above using them in inter-company squabbles, however, and the central conflict of the game is between one corporation, GalSpan, and the Bora settlers.
- The whole plot of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere revolves around a war between two megacorporations, General Resource Ltd. and Neucom Inc.; although there are two more sides in it (peace-enforcing UN and the terrorist conspiracy Ouroboros), they are much smaller in scale and influence.
- The background of Team Fortress 2 is that the playable characters are mercenaries hired by one of the two corporations that secretly run the world to fight over gravel pits because the CEOs are idiots with an epic case of Sibling Rivalry.
- Syndicate has corps warring over control of the planet, mostly via small teams of highly skilled agents.
- Civilization series: Certain Greed events that go under "Our corporation wants X resource under rival civilization's border, go and get it for massive cash. The other variant is that "our generals want X resource in enemy land, go get it old chap".
- Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri: Morgan Industries, like all the other factions, could just build a army and conquer everyone else. Then again, Morgan could easily win through economic means as well.
- According to the background information, Nwabudike Morgan (leader of Morgan Industries) managed to get his start by hiring mercenaries to take over some diamond mines. Morgan's Earthly businesses also included funding "mercenary forces, U.N. escorts... and creating Morgan SafeHaven Hotel Fortress chain 'for the discriminating executive'."
- The protagonists of My Life At War were hired by Mega-Fun Foods Inc to defend some newly acquired farmland from some nobles who think they still own it.
- The Maytec Consortium in S.S.D.D has its own army but when the Anarchists jumped their mineral claims on Mars they manipulated the CORE into fighting the war for them.
- Background to one arc of Exterminatus Now is a conflict between cola companies.
- Parodied in one arc of Newshounds where AOL attempted a military takeover of Starbucks, which failed as their troops were no match for stressed out baristas.
- The R&D wars of Sluggy Freelance in the "4U City" Alternate Universe between a number of weapons manufacturers with strong ties to organized crime. In the prime universe Torg has been trying to take them down, but all his efforts have done is consolidate them into Hereti-Corp against everyone else.
- The Dutch and English East India Trading Companies both fielded private armies for fending off piracy and putting down native resistance to their colonial monopolies.
- Part of the initial Opium War between England, United States and China, for more information look for the Opium Wars (in the other wiki click here) trade benefits and all. For more if I don't recall wrong it is around the 1839-1842 period. Needless to say when Us got to sign their treaty in 1844 it made the Brits condition for their Mega corp seem saint in comparison. Given it was a Gunboat Diplomacy (not to mention the Curb-Stomp Battle that it was) at some points but the list included (the side of the Brits not the US one):
- Indemnification for burnt opium.
- Give Hong Kong to the Brits.
- Give 5 Chinese harbors.
- Excepting the Brit citizens to submit to Chinese laws.
- Tax exemption just up to 5% of customs to foreign merchandise.

Knoxville police seek blue Jaguar vehicle in hit-and-run
KNOXVILLE — The Knoxville Police Department is searching for the driver of a light colored Jaguar vehicle that struck two pedestrians on Northshore Drive early Thursday morning, then fled the scene.
The two victims were treated at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for injuries described by police as "nonlife-threatening." They were identified as Garrett Jernigan of Knoxville and Alice Jablonski, of Roan Mountain, Tenn.
Witnesses described the suspect's vehicle as being a gray or light blue Jaguar "sports vehicle," and said it could have windshield damage as a result of the accident.
KPD officers responding to the 12:44 a.m. report found the victims in the road in front of the Tin Roof bar, KPD spokesman Darrell DeBusk said. According to witness, the victims were walking to Roosters Bar when they were run down by the suspect, which was eastbound on Northshore Drive.
The vehicle continued eastbound after the victims were hit, DeBusk said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the KPD crime information line at 865-215-7212, and remain anonymous if they wish.

It's as if the attack never happened. On the beach outside the Imperial Marhaba hotel in Sousse, sun loungers have been cleaned of blood, floral tributes washed away by the tide and a commemorative sign has been moved to a more discreet place.
But at night, the attack comes to life once more, at least in the head of Karim Sahloul.
A 22-year-old male Tunisian student was sentenced Tuesday to one year in prison for having sexual relations with a man, in accordance with Article 230 of the country's penal code, which criminalizes homosexuality.
He was forced to "undergo an anal exam against his will," his lawyer said in a statement, to verify that he'd had sexual relations with a man. "It's a harsh but unsurprising sentence," the lawyer told HuffPost Tunisia.
Tunisia will take part in the world's leading food fair for retail trade, food service and catering market "Anuga 2015" to be held from October 10 to 14 in Cologne, Germany.
The Tunisian stand will invite visitors to discover Tunisian typical products: olive oil, dates, Harissa, cheese and varieties of fruit and vegetables.
President Béji Caid Essebsi sent, Thursday, in his own name and on behalf of the Tunisian people, a message of condolences to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salmane Ben Abdelaziz Al Saoud, following a crush at Mina, outside the holy city of Mecca during which several were killed and others wounded among the pilgrims.

I was in a Shanghai hotel room a few months ago when I saw the breaking news alert about a terrorist attack in Sousse, Tunisia.
In front of a lovely hotel, on a lovely beach, 38 people were shot and killed by a 23-year-old Islamic fanatic, Seifiddine Rezgui Yacoubi.
A human barrier of Tunisian locals formed to protect the wounded and living, and the gunman was soon killed by police.

Q3 net profit 28 mln rials vs 22.4 mln rials a year ago; Q3 revenue 109.9 mln mln rials vs 97.4 mln rials
November 13, 2011 11:07 by Reuters
The former monopoly made net profit of 28 million rials ($72.7 million) in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with net profit of 22.4 million rials in the same period a year ago, it said in a bourse statement.
Analyst forecast, on average, profit of 28.9 million rials, according to a Reuters poll.
Omantel, which is 70-percent owned by the Omani government, said quarterly revenues rose 13 percent to 109.9 million rials, up from 97.4 million rials a year earlier.
The telecom operator's total customer base rose to 3.4 million for the nine month period ending Sept. 30, compared with 3.3 million for the same period last year.
Omantel is on the lookout for operating licenses and network building contracts abroad as competition in the sultanate's mobile telecom sector gets tougher, its chief executive said in August.
The firm's monopoly was broken in 2006 by Nawras, a unit of Qatar Telecommunications Co, boosting competition among mobile network operators in the country.

Respond to Review of Hank Vegan Burger
by JonJon
Review: Hank is the newest veggie fast food of the French capital. It is fully vegan and organic, which is very great. Ironically, they are located just opposite to the hunt museum... Food is mainly homemade, fresh and tasty. They offer one burger only, with four different sauces. I tried 3 of them: mushrooms, mustard and cocktail/cognac. Every one is really good and gives its taste to the burger. Portions are correct and prices are fair for an homemade vegan organic food in Paris. The menu is less than 10 euros, a burger alone costs 6.5 euros. Their cookies are also nice. Staff is very friendly but needs to find its rythm (they opened yesterday so, I don't want to blame them!). It could also be interesting for them to develop one or two other burger steaks, maybe with vegan cheese or other faux-meat. But it is good to have an homemade and healthy burger too. On the whole, here is another good alternative to the pionneers of veggie fast foods in Paris, with its fully vegan and organic food at a reasonnable price.

[5 7] ABSTRACT A high voltage lightning arrester enclosed in a grounded metal enclosure containing a pressurized insulating gas. The arrester is provided with capacitance grading means to control the voltage distribution across the arrester.
7 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATENTEUMIG 14 I935 SNEEI'Z BF 3 FIG2 SHIELDED METAL ENCLOSED LIGHTNING ARRESTER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to high voltage lightning arresters enclosed in a grounded metal enclosure and insulated by a pressurized gas, and more particularly to means for controlling the voltage distribution across such an arrester.
More generally, the invention relates to high voltage, metal enclosed, gas insulated electricalsystems. In such systems the conductors or busses are enclosed in tubular metal enclosures filled with a pressurized gas of suitable properties such as sulphur hexafluouride. Associated devices such as circuit breakers, isolators, grounding switches and the like are also contained in metal enclosures, so that a complete substation, or other electrical system, can be made up of components contained in communicating metal enclosures and insulated by the pressurized gas. Such a system permits a substantial reduction in the space required, as well as increased reliability and safety, and reduced maintenance; with the further advantage that it lends itself well to a modular design approach with resulting low installation costs.
The pressurized gas insulation used in these systems permits relatively close clearances between the grounded metal enclosure and the high voltage equipment contained within the enclosure. When a high voltage, such as the line to ground system voltage, is applied across a device in such close proximity to a grounded surface, however, the electric field is badly distorted and the performance of devices such as lightning arresters is adversely affected by the resulting nonuniformity of voltage distribution. Other devices such as coupling capacitors, for example, may also be ad'- versely affected by non-uniform voltage distribution resulting from a relatively small clearance to adjacent grounded metal surfaces. Lightning arresters have been used in metal enclosures at relatively low voltages, as in Harder US. Pat. No. 3,469,146, and have been proposed for high voltage, gas insulated systems, as in Braybill U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,450, but no means for controlling the voltage distribution in such an arrangement has been available except the conventional grading rings. Such grading rings are applied to the line terminal and, for high voltage arresters, they can be of very large size and high cost and do not necessarily result in the desired voltage distribution. Furthermore, they are not desirable for a metal enclosed system because of the large amount of space which they require.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION ent invention, there is disclosed a metal enclosed lightning arrester provided with an asymmetrical shielding means for obtaining substantially uniform voltage distribution. The present invention provides a metal enclosed lightning arrester with capacitance grading means for controlling the voltage distribution. In accordance with the invention, a metal enclosed arrester has a series of generally cylindrical shields which are spaced apart axially of the arrester from the line terminal end towards the ground end. Capacitors of progressively decreasing capacitance are disposed within the shields and connected between each two adjacent shields. In this way, the voltages of the successive shields are primarily established by the capacitors which function to provide capacitance grading and control the voltage distribution across the arrester. A very effective means is thus provided for obtaining uniform voltage distribution across the arrester even though it is enclosed within a grounded metal enclosure with relatively small clearance. An arrester of standard design and construction can then be utilized in a metal enclosed, gas insulated system and its performance will be essentially the same as in the more usual outdoor environment because of the effective control of the voltage distribution.
BRIEF DESCRIPT ION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front view in elevation and partially in section showing a capacitance graded metal enclosed lightning arrester embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view of .the arrester; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary elevation view of the line terminal and upper end of the arrester, partially in section.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT There is shown in the drawings a capacitance graded, high voltage, metal enclosed lightning arrester embodying the principles of the invention. As there shown, a lightning arrester 10 is disposed within a metal enclosure 11, which would normally be grounded, and which is generally cylindrical to enclose the arrester 10 with a clearance between the enclosure and the arrester. The enclosure 11 is filled with a suitable insulating gas such as sulphur hexafluoride at a pressure of 45 psig, although other suitable gases or pressures might be used. The pressurized gas insulation makes possible a relatively small clearance between the enclosure and the arrester and thus reduces the space required for the installation. It will be understood that the metal enclosed, gas insulated systems to which the invention relates are primarily intended for use in substations on high voltage transmission Systems. Thus, these gas insulated systems have been designed for voltages in the range of 69 KV to 345 KV, for example, although they may obviously be used for other voltages. At these high voltages the saving in space due to the reduced clearances is very significant. The relatively small clearnces to ground, however, result in the problem of nonuniform voltage distribution mentioned above which would adversely affect the performance of lightning arresters, and certain other devices such as coupling capacitors.
The arrester 10 has not been illustrated in detailand it may be any standard or conventional type of high voltage lightning arrester consisting of a suitable assembly of spark gaps and valve blocks. A suitable construction and arrangement is shown, for example, in the patents to Kennon US. Pat. No. 3,534,221 and Osterhout et al. US. Pat. No. 3,611,044 although any suitable construction might be utilized. The "arrester 10 is contained in a generally cylindrcal housing of porcelain or other suitable insulating material and which may have a smooth exterior surface. The arrester is closed and sealed by a metal end cap 12 at the upper end which serves for connection to a line terminal, and by a metal end cap 13 at the bottom for connection to ground. A line conductor 14 which may be a rod-like member, either solid or tubular, is connected to the end cap 12 as more fully described hereinafter for connection to the equipment to be protected by the arrester. The conductor 14 is contained in a tubular metal enclosure 15 which communicates with the enclosure 11 and forms part of a complete metal enclosed substation or other electrical system.
In the conventional use of a lightning arrester such as the arrester 10, it is supported on a substation structure or platform support, or other grounded supporting structure of some type, usually in the open air. The voltage distribution across the arrester is then substantially uniform, or can be made sufficiently uniform by conventional grading rings, and the performance of the arrester is determined on that basis. In the usual outdoor installation, the voltage distribution may be affected by stray capacitances to ground but most of the arrester is sufficiently remote from the grounded supporting structure that these capacitances are relatively small and do not seriously affect the voltage distribution. When the arrester is enclosed in a metal enclosure 11 as in FIG. 1, however, the presence of a grounded conducting surface in close proximity to the arrester over its entire length has a serious effect on the voltage distribution if no means are provided to control it. The clearance between the enclosure 11 and the arrester 10 is necessarily relatively small in order to obtain the advantages of the metal enclosed system discussed above, and the capacitances to ground between the arrester and the enclosure are therefore relatively large, so that the electric field is seriously distorted. The performance of a standard arrester would be adversely affected by the resulting non-uniformity of voltage distribution.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a capacitance grading arrangement to control the voltage distribution across the arrester in a manner to make possible a substantially uniform voltage distribution and thus permit the satisfactory use of a high voltage arrester of standard design. As shown in the drawings, the arrester 10 is provided with a seriesof generally circular shields including shields 16 and 17 encircling the line terminal means and top of the arrester and a plurality of shields 18 spaced apart along the axial length of the arrester. At the top of the arrester, as shown particularly in FIG. 3, a circular metal plate 19 is mounted on the upper end cap 12 by means of brackets 20 of any suitable type to be mechanically supported on the end cap 12 and electrically connected thereto. The shields. l6 and 17 are mounted on the plate 19, as by screws 21, and extend upwardly and downwardly, respectively, from the plate 19 to encircle the upper end cap and the terminal means.
The plate 19 has a central opening 22 substantially concentric with the axis of the arrester and the line terminal means extends through this opening. Any suitable terminal means may be provided for connecting the line conductor 14 to the arrester 10. As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the-particular construction utilized in the present arrester includes an internally threaded boss 23 and a generally cylindrical contact member 25 is threaded on the sleeve 24. The contact member 25' may be a cylindrical steel member internally threaded at one end to engage the sleeve 24. At the other end a plurality of contact fingers 26 are pivotally mounted on the contact member 25 and urged radially inwardly by means of springs 27, the contact fingers 26 being movable to the necessary extent in radial slot in the member 25. The conductor 14 engages the spring loaded contact fingers 26 to effect connection to the arrester, thus providing a simple, easily engaged connecting means.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shields 16, 17 and 18 may be made from sheet metal, or other suitable conducting material, and are generally cylindrical preferably with rolled edges as shown. The uppermost shield 17 encircles the end cap 12 and is supported thereon and connected thereto as described above. The line terminal shield 16 which is preferably also provided extends upwardly to encircle the line terminal means. The remaining shields 18 are shorter in axial height and are spaced apart axially of the arrester as shown, the spacing between shields being made great enough to avoid any risk of flashover between the shields under any expected operating conditions. The shields 18 are supported on annular members 30 which may be in the form of split rings or semicircles extending around the arrester 10 at the desired locations and clamped tightly in place on the arrester by clamp members 31 and bolts 32. The shields 18 are mounted on the rings 30 by means of screws 33 or in any desired manner.
To obtain the desired capacitance grading the voltages of the shields are established by means-of capacitors 34. Four shields 17 and 18 are utilized in the illustrated embodiment and three capacitors 34 are provided, with each capacitor connected between two adjacent shields, although any necessary desired number of shields and capacitors could of course be used. The uppermost capacitor 34 is connected to and mechanically supported by a bracket 35 which is attached to plate 19 by a screw 36. The lower end of the uppermost capacitor engages the uppermost ring 30 and is ,attached and electrically connected thereto by a base 38 secured to the ring 30. Each of the other two capacitors 34 is similarly attached at its bottom by a base 38 to a ring 30 and at its top by a bracket member 39 to the adjacent ring 30. Thus the capacitors are electrically connected between each two adjacent shields, and are physically disposed inside the shields and extend along the outer surface of the arrester 10 as shown in the drawings. Although a single capacitor has been shown between each two shields, two or more capacitors could be used connected in any decided series or parallel connection.
As previously mentioned, if 'the arrester 10 were merely placed in a grounded metal enclosure in the manner shown in FIG. 1, the voltage to ground at any point along the arrester would be largely determined by the capacitance to ground (the enclosure 11) at that point. In the absence of any means for controlling the voltage distribution, this would result in a very distorted electric field and an extremely non-uniform voltage distribution across the arrester. The capacitance grading means of the present invention, however, utilizes capacitors 36 of appropriate capacitance to determine the voltages of the shields 18 so as to obtain the desired distribution of voltage along the arrester. The uppermost shield 17 is at line potential and the successive capacitors 34 are chosen to progressively decrease in capacitance to obtain the desired potential for each of the shields 18. Thus by proper design and by proper choice of the capacitors the distribution of voltage along the arrester can be made substantially uniform, or, if desired, any other voltage distribution might be obtained by selecting capacitors such that the potentials of the successive shields have the desired values. Thus the adverse effects of the grounded surface 11 in close proximity to the arrester are overcome, and an arrester of standard or conventional design can be utilized and its performance will be essentially the same as in the usual outdoor environment.
As previously indicated, the bottom end cap 13 may be utilized as a ground terminal for the arrester. The enclosure 11 is of course grounded and the arresters is mounted on the enclosure 11 with the end cap 13 electrically connected thereto.
The arrester 10 may as previously indicated be of any suitable or usual construction. Many arresters are provided with pressure release diaphragms or blow-out plates of various types at the lower end to permit the escape of gases which may be generated within the arrester in case of failure, so as to prevent the risk of explosion of the arrester and damage to other equipment. When an arrester provided with a pressure release means of this kind is utilized in the present invention, it is desirable to prevent contamination of the pressurized insulating gas in the enclosure 11 by the gases escaping from the arrester, and it is also desirable to maintain the integrity of the sealed enclosure to we vent escape of the insulating gas or loss of pressure in the closed system. The arrester of the present invention is therefore mounted in the enclosure 11 in a manner to accomplish these purposes. As shown in FIG. 1, the bottom plate 40 which forms the bottom wall of the enclosure 11 has a central opening 41. The arrester 10 is placed on the plate 40 in such a position that its axis is concentric with the opening 41 so that in case of failure of the arrester and release of gas from the interior of the arrester, it can escape through the opening 41. A sealing gasket 42 is placed between the bottom end cap 13 of the arrester and the plate 40 with a central opening coextensive with the opening 41. The arrester 10 may be held in place by suitable mounting bolts or other means which will effect electrical connection to the plate 40. It will be seen that the gasket 42 effectively seals the arrester to the bottom plate 40 of the enclosure, so that if the arrester should fail in service and the pressure release device should operate to permit the escape of gases generated in the arrester, the gases can escape through the opening 41 without contaminating the pressurized insulating gas in the enclosure 11 and without causing any loss of pressure or escape of gas from the sealed enclosure. It will be understood that any suitable sealing and mounting means may be utilized to mount the arrester 10 on the bottom plate 40.
It should now be apparent that a capacitance grading arrangement has been provided for lightning arresters which makes it possible to obtain uniform voltage distribution across a high voltage arrester enclosed in a grounded metal enclosure. This makes it possible to use arresters of standard or conventional design in a metal enclosed, gas insulated system with the same performance as in the more usual outdoor environment despite the presence of a grounded surface in close proximity to the arrester over its entire length. This is obtained by the arrangement of grading capacitors with shields encircling the arrester and maintained at the desired potential by the capacitors, thus ensuring the desired distribution of voltage. The particular construction disclosed is a particularly desirable arrangement for facilitating the design and manufacture of this type of graded arrester but it will be apparent that other specific details of construction might be utilized.

Shedding Some Light on the DARK Act
July 20, 2015 in Uncategorized
A Message from Brian Snyder, Executive Director of PASA
PASA Members & Friends,
Since 2008, at least five polls have shown 90% or more of Americans support labeling food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Last Tuesday, the House Agricultural Committee in Congress decided to go against the supermajority of their constituents, and voted the deceptively named Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (H.R. 1599) through committee.
More appropriately labeled the Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act by its opponents, H.R. 1599 would continue the failed policy of "voluntary" labeling of GMO foods, while:
- Stopping state and local governments from requiring labeling of foods that contain GMOs
- Preventing regulation of genetically engineered crops through local control, which is used to protect organic and sustainable farms from contamination
- Banning the Food and Drug Administration from requiring companies to label foods containing GMOs
With 106 cosponsors already, and a possible vote by the entire House of Representative this week, it is important your representatives in Congress hear from you today. For example, in Pennsylvania alone, 5 representatives have already signed on as cosponsors:
- Rep. Scott Perry (PA-4)
- Rep. Tom Marino (PA-10)
- Rep. Glenn Thompson (PA-5)
- Rep. Charles Dent (PA-15)
- Rep. Bill Shuster (PA-9)
Take action now:
- Call (877) 796-1949 and tell your representative you deserve the right to know if your food contains GMOs.
- Click here to find your representative and additional contact information.
With your efforts, we can shine some light on the DARK Act and stop H.R. 1599 from becoming law.
P.S. Soil health is vital in successful farming practices and this bill puts healthy soils at risk. Learn how to build and maintain your soil health at our new Summer Conference coming up August 6-7, 2015 in Centre Hall, PA. Our featured speaker will be Gary Zimmer of Midwestern BioAg, and you can find full agenda details and registration information here.

Ladies, please know you MUST MUST MUST use a wet sponge to apply Revlon Colorstay Foundation!! If you apply with your fingers or a dry sponge it will look cakey and too heavy.
My color is 410 Cappuccino Combination/ Oily Skin
You may want to try the Combo/ Oily skin colors even if this is not your skin type-- the colors are much warmer and richer than the normal/ dry tones.
At first I tried the darkest shade and it was way too dark. I am not the best person at picking shades-- so sometimes it is trial and error.
I first learned about Colorstay on Youtube and heard the tip about applying with a wet sponge. It works! I've used this product for 1 year.
This is great foundation with long lasting all day coverage. I love MAC and they simply are the best for the $30 price range for colored girls (in my opinion) but when I don't want to spend $30 on Studio Tech I use this (B1G1 sale from CVS you can get 2 for around $14).
There is no pump but who cares-- pour a little at a time on your wet sponge and apply. Or some people pour a little on saran wrap and dip the wet sponge in and then apply.
I never have to reapply foundation in the day, only reapply powder.
Colorstay sets fast so you have to blend in a reasonable amount of time. I use MAC Skinfnish in Deep Dark over this and I love it. People at work ask me what I wear all the time and I don't have the best skin.. breakout prone and adult acne.. not good. However I make it work and I look good :-)

After Max Factor moved out of the U.S., I needed to find a new foundation, and fast. I'd used Max Factor Lasting Performance in Pale Porcelain for probably 14 years. You can imagine how devastated I was when I could no longer get it here. I decided to try Revlon Colorstay Softflex for Combination/Oily Skin in Ivory. I loved it and used it for about a year. Then I started on some retin-a and glycolic acid and that foundation was too drying. I decided to switch to Ivory in the Normal/Dry skin. It's perfect. I'm probably on my fifth bottle. For reference, I have pale skin with some acne scarring and broken capillaries around my nose--so I need something that covers well. Colorstay's coverage is excellent. I spread a small amount (maybe 1/2 dime size) with my fingers and then soften the edges with a flat-top Sonia Kashuk brush. This is definitely something I would recommend, but with some qualifications. You need to be patient with this foundation and learn how to apply it effectively. If not applied correctly, it can look terrible.

I was looking hard to find ways of lowering my makeup budget without compromising too much on final results. I am so happy I found this alternative to MUFE HD foundation. Due to acne scarring and discoloration, I need a product that can build up without looking cakey. This product works perfectly for doing this. I can build up where I need and not so much is other areas where I don't and it looks great. I do have to say the application technique is crucial so the right brush is critical with this product since it can look streaky if care is not taken. I use a real techniques brush and stipple the foundation on and have great results. It is extremely long lasting even with my oily skin. I highly recommend it.

I am 34 and I used this back when I was in high school but everytime I run out of a foundation I try something new, so if u add that up I have tried everything on the market. With never being able to find something I like (except maybe 1) I decided to go back to what I used to use many many many years ago. I don't think I will experiment anymore this stuff is amazing. Stays put all day, looks flawless when applied with a foundation brush (I use one by e.l.f), matches my skin perfect. Ok the spf is awful, like seriously can't they spare some more? Aside from the almost non existent spf its a holy Grail. :-)

I wish I had come off my high horse about drugstore foundations along time ago. This stuff is pretty awesome. I bought combination/oily in Caramel since I'm normally NC45 and everywhere I looked people said it was a perfect match. It does dry quickly and the bottle doesn't have a pump. But who cares? I just work fast and transferred it to an old pump bottle I had...(recycle, reduce, reuse...right?) My favorite thing about this foundation is that it does not move through out the day...At ALL! I have super oily skin especially at the end of the night. With this stuff, my concealer doesn't crease, and my powder doesn't crease. I apply with a MAC foundation brush. I think it's 190 (it's been so long since I purchased it). I top it off w/ mineralize skinfinish pressed powder. I don't feel too done up because it's really light compared to other foundations I've tried in the past. The only negative thing I have noticed is that if I sweat, my face will tingle where I'm wearing the foundation, so limit my use of it to days that I know I won't be running around too much. That said, I will totally repurchase when I run out and I may even branch out to try other Revlon products.

This is the ONLY liquid foundation which I finished to the last drop and purchased a second bottle. True to the name 'Colorstay', it remains on my skin even after a 1.5 hour session of hot yoga! Many a times, after my yoga session, I just shower and splash water on my face and I'm ready for my next date! No need to re-apply foundation, just some loose powder (ok ok, that's not the best practice...hee) Yet, this product has never caused any breakouts nor clogged pores.
For a texture that's so creamy and thick, it's a big surprise that it sits so well on my skin and never looks cakey. Oil control is pretty god too (by now, I'm convinced that there's no one product which really keeps your skin matte throughout the day).
The big downside is the hopelessly messy packaging. How could revlon even think of selling it in such a bottle?! Please, pack it in a pump version.

Its my HG foundation. It is the best out there. Great coverage and stays on all day. Its equivalent is Mac studio fix, and Revlon Colorstay is better because it doesn't oxidize and turn orange on my skin. Also its nowhere near as expensive as Mac Studio Fix. However, I wish they didn't make consumers pick between yellow or pink tones but made Colorstay in neutral with no undertones. I use the shades Buff or Porcelain Ivory.
I will buy it over and over and over again like a broken record.

This foundation does have longevity however there are no true olive tones available. I've returned several colors (sand beige, medium beige, golden beige etc) and ALL have pink tones. In doors all look great but natural light AKA outdoors reveals the pink undertones. if you are olive tone do not pirchase. REVLON please make true olive tones. (For reference Im NC30).

This is by far my favorite drugstore foundation and I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking an affordable yet good quality foundation.
-Inexpensive considering you get a good amount of product.
-Medium, Buildable coverage.
-Lightweight and natural depending on the amount applied and how.
-Wide variety of shades and finishes to suit different people.
-Doesn't break me out or irritate my skin.
-No Pump Included. I often find myself pouring out too much product onto my hand. If a pump was included it would make the process easier.

I worked at DISH full-time (More than 3 years)
Dish is definitely focused on improving the customer experience by improving technician training and improving the communication between the tech and the customer at the customer's home during installation and service, especially when teaching the customer on how to use new equipment. Dish is constantly improving to be a better company for customers and employees. While I was at the company, Dish began leadership training for managers and this was to improve the leadership skills of front-line and higher managers.
Many front-line and higher leaders come from the technician ranks and had to have been excellent technicians to be promoted, however many lack management and leadership skills and this can lead to high turnover of new technicians and bad reviews of the company by these ex-employees on sites like Glass Door. Dish has a unique culture where not everybody fits in and applicants should make sure they have as good a feel as possible of the culture. This is a 365-day work environment and a good portion of the work is outside in possibly very cold, very hot or very wet weather. Also work inside homes may include crawl spaces, attics and rare but possible homes where customers live very dirty.
Advice to Management
Dish has many excellent leaders and continued development of the leadership skills of the front-line Field Service Managers and Installation Managers as well as General Managers will pay dividends over time.

CES boss slams content restrictions, talks of bumper 2011 CES
Gary Shapiro, the president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, the US trade association has criticised copyright issues for strangling the 'watch anywhere' ethos that has been technically do-able for some time.
"If you buy a movie you should be able to watch it elsewhere, portably or in you own home, but there's a trade-off with piracy - these discussions are going on," said Shapiro frustrated by the lack of faith in consumers by content producers not to instantly pirate content.
"Connecting people to their homes, entertainment and social circles is big story this week," he told us. "We want three screens; TV, mobile phone and PC tablets, all with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or DLNA."
"The TV will increasingly look like a smartphone," he told Pocket-lint. "Yes, there is convergence - no question about it," Shapiro says.
The CEA represents some 2,000 consumer electronics companies and When it comes to the CES, chief host Gary Shapiro is not a man given to understatement.
"This is the most exciting show in our history," he proudly boasts to Pocket-lint.
Revealing to us that he expected around 20,000 new products to be unveiled across the 1.6 million square feet of CES 2011 - a 10 percent increase on the 2010 event - Shapiro stated that 2011 was the year of tablets (around 80 in total, he claimed), and broadband for new and existing devices.
Glossing over any rift with Apple, which not only avoids, but attempts to upstage (this year it was the launch of the Mac Store), Shapiro was keen to stress how the huge event in Las Vegas adapts to market demands.
The iLounge pavilion, which features all things Mac, has doubled in size since last year – iPhone 4 covers are everywhere (with Hello Kitty! patterns worryingly common) - and now has 200 exhibitors, while 'lifestyle' exercise gadgets are also on the rise.
Ironically, Las Vegas has slow broadband and few public WiFi networks, something that's caused problems for both exhibitors attempting to demo their new 'connected' devices, and journalists filing copy.
As Verizon's chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg talked-up the US telecom giant's new 4G networks during Shapiro's speech, there were audible grumbles among journalists in audience trapped in a WiFi-free zone.
Shapiro has been busy promoting his first book, 'The Comeback: How Innovation Will Restore the American Dream', peppering his CES speech with references to the text - published this week. Its central message could be seen as a broadside against the Obama administration.
"Our industry's ability to innovate has created jobs and grown the global economy, creating new markets and new industries," said Shapiro. "The lesson of the book is that every country should have a strategy, just like any business. Every country has strengths and weaknesses and it's best to plan and play-off - the challenge of politicians is that they do not focus on the long-term. If you focus on your long term you will reach your goals."
In his keynote Shapiro also criticised the approach to free trade in the US: "We have not finalised one single trade agreement in the past two years while other countries have been busy bringing down trade barriers. Countries that trade with each other don't go to war."
Shapiro reconfirmed the central principles behind the CEA and its flagship event, the International CES. "As a trade organisation the CEA must do everything we can to foster innovation - the CES cause is the cause of innovation. Our primary objective isn't to secure favours from government, but the long term health of the US economy."

Quinn is mighty for No. 4 Irish in trouncing of No. 19 Penn State
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Brady Quinn and the Notre Dame offense
were as good as advertised in Week 2.
After an unimpressive opening game, Quinn, Jeff Samardzija and
Co. returned to their fantastic form of last season in a 41-17 victory over No. 19 Penn State on Saturday.
Happy Valley has certainly been a happy place for Penn State in recent years. Unfortunately for the Nittany Lions, road games have been decidedly disastrous. With Saturday's 41-17 drubbing at the hands of Notre Dame, Penn State has now lost eight consecutive road games to ranked teams. The Lions' last win against a ranked team in a hostile environment was Oct. 5, 2002 at No. 19 Wisconsin.

Quinn, the Heisman-hyped quarterback, was 12-of-16 passing for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the second quarter alone as fourth-ranked Notre Dame opened a 20-0 lead. The defense and special teams chipped in, too, breaking the game open in the third quarter by scoring one touchdown and setting up another as the Fighting Irish cruised. The game was essentially over at halftime.
"What I liked was the first half was meticulous," Irish coach Charlie Weis said. "We had it about 19 minutes out of the 30 minutes. That's not just offense. That's offense and defense."
Coach Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions (1-1) haven't beaten a ranked team on the road since a 34-31 win at No. 19 Wisconsin on Oct. 5, 2002. It was a disappointing performance for the Nittany Lions, who were eager to show they're ready to be national contenders again after winning the Big Ten last year.
"I think they outplayed us," Paterno said. "We made too many mistakes. We were sloppy."
Notre Dame and Penn State are two of the most storied football programs in all the land. Here is how the two schools stack up in an historical perspective. Beware: Some of the numbers may surprise you.
First season

National Titles*
Heisman Trophies

10-win seasons
Bowl wins
* -- AP/UPI polls since 1936
** -- 1 tie
Quinn and the Irish looked much sharper than they did a week earlier in a 14-10 victory at Georgia Tech, when they played so inconsistently that even Weis dropped the Irish a few spots on his ballot in the coaches' poll.
Asked how it felt to beat a coach like Paterno, Weis said: "I was happy to beat Penn State. ... We were happy to beat a team as good as Penn State the way we did today."
Quinn threw touchdown passes to Samardzija, Rhema McKnight and
Darius Walker.
"I thought Brady Quinn was a heck of a football player coming in and he didn't do anything to change my mind," Paterno said.
Through two games Quinn has 533 yards passing -- well ahead of last year's pace of 367 yards.
Weis said the only bad pass he thought Quinn threw was when he overthrew John Carlson in the end zone early in the second half and the Irish had to settle for a field goal.
Quinn said the big difference was the play off the offensive line, which wasn't very good against Georgia Tech.
"Everything that happened today I think should be credited to them, not us," Quinn said.
Penn State linebacker Paul Posluszny said the Irish caught the Nittany Lions off guard.
"We expected them to keep going deep, but they just cleaned us all out and went underneath," he said.
Safety Tom Zbikowski returned a fumble for a 25-yard touchdown
for Notre Dame and Travis Thomas -- the running back turned starting
linebacker -- set up his own 1-yard TD run with a 43-yard run on a
fake punt.
Anthony Morelli, making his second career start for the Lions,
found playing on the road a little more difficult than playing
Akron at home. He was 21 of 33 passing with one interception and a
fumble. He threw a 2-yard TD pass to Deon Butler with 5:51 left in
the game.
"We actually moved the ball well in the first half but just couldn't finish anything off. That was our fault," Paterno said.
The difference in the game was that Notre Dame was able to overcome its mistakes, while the Nittany Lions could not. The Irish again struggled early with penalties, two that stalled drives. Then Zbikowski couldn't handle a punt, but it bounced forward and Raeshon McNeil recovered for the Irish.
The Nittany Lions had a botched field-goal attempt on their first possession. Then Tony Hunt fumbled the ball on Penn State's second possession and Ronald Talley recovered for the Irish. On their first possession of the second half, Irish linebacker Maurice Crum Jr. knocked the ball loose when he hit Morelli. Zbikowski picked up the fumble and went in for a touchdown.
The Irish special teams contributed as well. Carl Gioia, who missed both his field goal attempts against Tech a week earlier, kicked two from 35 yards, and Geoff Price had a 62-yard punt.
The victory gives Notre Dame a 9-8-1 edge in the series, with the two teams meeting again next season in State College. It was the first meeting between the two storied schools since Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993.
"I want the kids to feel good about that win," Weis said. "We just beat a good football team soundly. I want them to feel good and enjoy it tonight," he said. "We'll worry about those things tomorrow."
