See that? I just went for it and told you the release date of Football Manager 2014. No teases. No 'after the jump' or 'on the other side of the ha-ha'. I didn't even encrypt the data and ask you to hack it. No, it's above. Why did I do that? It's because I respect your time, that's why. Actually, I respect 'the time', so when Sega announced the very minute that the game was being released, I was in heaven. If only everyone ran to such specific schedules and nothing ever went wrong, I'd be incredibly happy. There is other information below, so head beneath the bulwark to find out about the beta, the demo, and Steam integration.

FM 2014 Is Out Oct 31st At 12:01am
Quick Pitch: Football Manager 2014 Trailers
I exist outside of popular culture*. I've only just started to watch The Shield, and I mostly listened to Use Your Illusion II this weekend. So I had to Google 'Gareth Bale' to find out why everyone was talking about him, which in turn reminded me that Football Manager 2014 is coming out, and that I should get with the times. The managerial machination sim would have prepared me for the news about a Welsh person's move to a Spanish place for more money that exists in space and time, and it would also have told me about his abilities, stats, training schedule, and possibly his cup size, but it's not out yet and I refuse to be left behind again by looking at 2013's information. I'll wait for 2014's release, and keep up by watching these videos of the game in action.

Wot I Think: Football Manager 2013 Classic
Forget about the media, forget about team talks. This is a tale of men, balls and boots. Football Manager Classic, a mode within FM 2013, goes back to basics. But is it actually classic, or is it more like one of those movies that nobody likes but that inexplicably finds itself in a 'Classics' range when it's released on DVD?
Foot-to-Ball Commander 2013 Demonstration Edition
This year as with every year, there is a brand new edition of Sports Interactive's management goliath Foot-to-Ball Commander. The 2013 version is out next week, in fact. New features this year include over 17 new types of decomposing tobacco breath odorants to add to your manager's Unhinged Bellow attack, the option to hurl the most racist members of your premiership team into the heart of the sun and the exclusive Gary Lineker's Leaving Your Wife Of 20 To Shack Up With An Underwear Model Time Attack mode.
Also there's a demo, out now on Steam.

A Chip To The Past: FM 2013 Classic Mode
Anyone without an interest in foot-to-ball management should watch the five videos below, simply so that they can bolster their disdain for the people who do enjoy such arcane pursuits. The videos contain details of Football Manager 2013's new Classic Mode, an alternative method of staring at numbers and tiny men hoofing a ball that doesn't require an entire lifetime to play. For the uninitiated, the promise of a simplified interface and less detail will appear laughable, perhaps even satirical, as the game is shown to be a series of screens that list names with numbers attached to them. In Classic, there are less numbers and maybe even less screens too.
(Full) Back To Basics: Football Manager 2013
Football Manager has become a sprawling and oft inelegant mass of statistics and screens, which is one of the reasons I love it so, but there are many people who don't want to decide whether to wear a tracksuit or shirt and tie before every match*, or to spend time (allegedly) teaching their dog to embezzle funds*. Those people say things like, "I still keep Champ Manager 1846 installed on every PC I own because back then all you had to do was pick the handsomest team and you'd win every time". The modern game has excessive detail and options, they say, and Sports Interactive have listened. FM 2013 will have a streamlined Classic Mode.

Wot I Think: Football Manager 2012
My proud home city of Manchester still trembles from the result of the weekend's derby, with legions of red-shirted, red-faced men weeping openly in the streets and doubting all that they previously held true. There are far more seisimic events in the world of foot-to-ball though. I've been attempting to overturn the order by means of Football Manager 2012 and here's Wot I Think.
In Need Of Management Now: Football
Emergency! Emergency! A demonstration version of Foot-To-Ball Manager 2012 has inserted itself into one the tubes of the internet, and needs you to remove it then safely store it upon your own personal computer. If you are bold and daring enough to attempt to resolve this crisis, I beseech you to point your browser device here forthwith and then take any steps necessary to download approximately two gigabytes of English-made data. Then we will all be safe. And you can play half a season putting the feet of one or all of England, Australia, Scotland, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Sweden onto a ball.
God speed. You are our only hope.

There are a great many ways and places to donate money to assist victims of the tragic events in Japan last week. Nonetheless, it's good to see game companies also doing their bit to tempt their players into lending a financial hand during this time of need.

Gareth Campesinos! Reviews: FM 2011
The RPS Hivemind does not know this "foot-to-ball", nor the management thereof. It has therefore called in an expert – Los Campesinos! singer, Gareth Campesinos! – to review Football Manager 2011 on its behalf. Other websites get the work experience kid to do it, we turn to pop stars. A lesson, there.
Is it wrong to think that Rock, Paper, Shotgun's readership would be anything like those who steer the ship? Other than intelligent and attractive, I specifically mean completely bemused by the concept of "foot-to-ball". Perhaps more bemused that this popular series of Football Management Sims offer no control as such, and is perhaps as visually stimulating as a GNVQ IT student's final project on Microsoft Access. Present me your heartstrings…

'Something Pithy About Wayne Rooney'
There's appears to be a widely-held misconception that RPS knows very little about football. This is a lie, spread by ourselves for comic effect. For instance, I know that my own country, England, has a dependably underwhelming team whose fans endlessly hark on about a match that they won by mistake 44 years ago, that an increasing number of the major UK clubs are owned by horrifyingly rich foreign businessmen, and that Manchester United have today announced the rather mysterious decision to sign a new five-year contract with the headmaster from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
I also know that a demo version of the latest Football Manager is huge news for an awful lot of PC gamers, and that 2001-era jokes about the game being a series of spreadsheets are enormously ignorant.

Regular Fixture: Football Manager 2011
It's been RPS' best-ever day for pictures of football games on the front-page! Nonetheless, you may have observed subtle clues over the years that this website's staff are just a little bit shy of football nous. Subtle, subtle clues. This does not mean we sneer at those who do have said nous, or indeed at games based upon it. No! We revere them as much as we do all other games. Just slightly confusedly so.
Take Football Manager, for instance, the two thousand and eleventh installment of which was confirmed today.

Kick Him Out: Football Manager 2010 Demo
"OH YEH!" to quote Gareth Los Campesinos. The Football Manager 2010 demo is out, featuring Foot-to-ball boss-man antics in the English And Scottish league. The biggest changes since last year include a new match tactics system, a match analysis tool and MULTI-BALL ACTION! Well, probably. Anyway, you can get it from here.

Blondie is one of my all-time favorite bands. I've been a fan since I discovered them as a kid on pop radio. After I got into punk, I learned more about Blondie's evolution from the CBGB's scene alongside bands like The Ramones, Talking Heads, Television, and Suicide. I always appreciated Blondie's stylistic diversity, tackling genres such as rock, girl group soul, disco, hip-hop, and reggae. Blondie's front woman Debbie Harry is an amazing vocalist, lyricist, style icon, beauty, and embodiment of NYC cool. I've admired Blondie and Debbie enough from a distance to make a few portraits of her over the years, but this is my first portrait of her since I've been friends with her and her Blondie co-founder, songwriter, and guitarist Chris Stein. Chris happens to be a great photographer and took the picture of Debbie my illustration is based on. I worked on some writing and the design for Chris's photo book: Chris Stein / Negative: Me, Blondie, and the Advent of Punk and Chris offered to allow me to work from any of his photos. I was excited to work from Chris's picture of Debbie with the Zebra background because I love her expression and the pop art sensibility of the Zebra skin. I took inspiration from Warhol's portrait of Debbie, one of my favorite pieces by a favorite artist, which was coincidentally captured in progress by Chris Stein. Debbie and Chris are incredibly down to earth and were willing to sign the print also. I feel very lucky to know Debbie and Chris and grateful that they wanted to do this collaboration. I recommend checking out this great documentary on Blondie if you want a great overview of their evolution.
UPDATE: Check out the official Blondie Store to get the Holiday Redux Bundle full of all the essential Blondie goods you could ask for from Santa! Plus a pair of drum sticks signed by Clem Burke. While you're at it, pick up a new hoodie to keep you warm this winter and sport the Shepard Fairey designed Blondie logo. Check it out HERE!

The fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, by a white police officer in Ferguson Mo. is not only tragic, but is charged with tension because of the inconsistency of witness testimony and the history of real and perceived racial bias in the area. I'm not pleased with the Grand Jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson, I have seen no compelling evidence that he needed to kill Brown to save his own life. I am relieved that proceedings have been more transparent than usual, with the evidence presented to the Grand Jury being shared with the public. This is a complex case, and the result, like it or not, was achieved through the justice system. However, I think there is insidious bias within our society, and our justice system that would have yielded a very different result if the roles were reversed. Imagine if Michael Brown had shot an unarmed Darren Wilson in the middle of the street and claimed it was self-defense. I think Brown would be facing life in prison. In my experience (I've been beaten up by police on a few occasions with my only provocation being that I put up art without permission), the police are often as cavalier about rules and laws as the criminals they despise. Regardless of the details in question in Ferguson, abuse of authority by those meant to "serve and protect" is far too common. I know some really cool cops, but what about the ones who are abusive? Who polices the police? I understand why many people of color feel frustrated and vulnerable to police abuse. I disagree with rioting and looting, because authorities always use unrest to justify their oppressive tactics, but I understand how feelings of powerlessness and frustration manifest in some sort of destructive retaliation from those who feel wronged.

CP/MAbbreviation of Control Program for Microcomputers. Created by Digital Research Corporation, CP/M was one of the first 8-bit operating systems for personal computers. However, Digital Research Corporation made a critical strategic error by not agreeing to produce an operating system for the first IBM PC. According to the folklore, the president of Digital Research was flying his airplane when IBM came to call. IBM marched out and never looked back.
Instead, IBM turned to Microsoft Corporation, which developed MS-DOS based on version 2.2 of CP/M. By the mid 1980s, MS-DOS had become the standard operating system for IBM-compatible personal computers. CP/M is now obsolete.

According to the invention, the apparatus, which comprises means for the delivery of coins onto a sorting track, means for the collection of the sorted coins and control means to control the functions of the apparatus, is essentially characterized by a selector device, which is so designed that, when a coin has engaged a contact member for one sort of coin, it excites a counting relay provided for this particular sort of coin, which relay, then is momentarily maintained energized, so as to enable the selector device in operation thereof to emit pulses, corresponding to the energized condition of said counting relay and acting firstly to effect the discharge of the coin into its collecting means, secondly to actuate a readable counting device, thirdly to actuate tens-transfer means, and fourthly, after completed counting to attend to the deenergization of the counting relay.
According to the invention the selector device preferably consists of a rotary switch, which is arranged to be automatically started when any one of the contact members is actuated and, immediately after the start thereof to close a contact so that it is automatically maintained moving for one revolution and, when it is back in its zero position, to open this contact again. Preferably the selector is arranged to be started by means of a starting relay, which, in turn, is arranged to be excited by means of a drop relay, which is arranged to be momentarily energized at the manual actuation of a control member, arranged to adapt the apparatus for sorting and counting, and which drop relay, when energized, transfers pulses from the contact members to the starting relay, so that this is excited and thereby again tie-energize the drop relay. The tens-transfer means preferably consist of rotary switches, suitably of the same principal design as that of the rotary switch emitting said counting pulses. The tens-transfer switches may be arranged to actuate tens-transfer relays of the same design and operation as that of the counting relays. These tenstnansfer relays preferably are arranged to deliver their pulses under the intermediary of disconnecting relays,
which are normally closed and open the tens-transfer circuit, but are deenergized and close this circuit immediately before the tens-transfer operation is brought about, and, at said tens-transfer operation, are energized again and then maintained energized by means of the corresponding tens-transfer relay.
With particular respect to the high speed of the rotary switch arranged for counting and the rather strong currents it is appropriate that this switch is arranged to deliver pulses to pulse-relays which, in turn, at the excitation actuate the counting device and the tens-transfer means, so that they each are moved one step forward for each excitation.
A particularly suitable embodiment of the apparatus accordingto the invention is characterized in that the contact members consist of contact arms for each sort of coin, said arms being arranged to be actuated by continuously reciprocating abutment means through the intermediary of the coins, and said abutment means being arranged, firstly, to bring about the above mentioned actuation of the corresponding contact arm, and, secondly, to push out the coin into its collecting means.
In order that, besides sorting and counting, also seriescounting of the number of coins of a predetermined sort may be carried out, without counting the amount of the coins, one of the rotary switches for tens-transfer preferably also arranged for the counting of the number of coins in a manner such that it for actuation of the contact arm for the sort of coins to be counted emits a pulse, firstly, to actuate a second readable counting device, secondly, to bring about the pushing out of the coin, and, thirdly, to move the number counting switch one step forwardly for each actuation, whereby the apparatus' preferably is to be provided with a switch by means of which the driving circuit of the number counting switch may be opened. Preferably the numbercounting switch is adapted to actuate an auxiliary relay which, when energized, brings about said pulse transmission.
The invention will be disclosed in more details hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 5 shows a wiring diagram covering certain components of the apparatus according to FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows a detail of the apparatus according to FIG. 1.
FIG. 7 shows a detail of the apparatus according to FIG. 4.
The apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a conveyor 10, by means of which the coins are fed onto a track 11, which has been given such an inclination, as to cause the coins to roll down along it. When the coins roll along the track 11, they touch, all according to their sizes, a number of contact arms, A1-A8, arranged at decreasing heights above the track, whereby the coins by means of rejecting pins Ul-US are rejected into shafts 12 of circular cross section as set forth in detail below. Below, these shafts are provided with trap doors, not shown, so that the coins may occasionally be collected in the shafts. When the trap doors are withdrawn, one at a time or all together, the coins fall down into containers 13. It is also possible to introduce coin wraps, for instance made of paper, into the shafts wherein the coins are packed by so called tubing, as will be explained in more detail below. The amounts of the sorted coins are registered on a counter RV14, whereas the number thereof is registered on a counter RVIS. The various functions of the apparatus are controlled by means of a number of keys T, which in FIG. 3 have been given different additional marks, such as O, S, SR, 1-8 and G, in order that they may be distinguished from each other.
The apparatus comprises three rotary switches V1, V2 and V3 with control contact groups SKI, SKZ .and SK3, and stepping relays VRI, VRZ and VR3. For the starting of the switch V1 there is provided a starting relay SR which co-operates with a drop relay DR. A checking relay KR is adapted to supervise the switches return to their zero-position. The apparatus as a whole is zeroized by means of a zeroizing relay OR. The switch V1 is adapted to actuate eight counting relays Rl-RS, and by means of such switch also two tens-transfer relays, TRI and TR2 are actuated, of which last mentioned relays each is adapted to co-operate with a disconnecting relay BRl and BR2, resp. The switch V1, moreover, is adapted to actuate three pulse relays 1R1, IR2 and 1R3. To start and shut off the conveyor motor, not shown, the apparatus is provided with a motor relay MR, and
for purposes, which will be explained below, it comprises a tubing relay TR and an auxiliary relay HR. A changeover relay PR is provided for the switch V2.
The rotary switch V1 is provided with three contact bank levels B, C and D, each bank containing thirty points, which on the drawing have been given the numbers to 29 from the left, and also, arranged opposite and parallel thereto separate points or contact rails. When the switch is driven round, the contact points of said levels are successively connected to the opposite points or contact rails by means of wipers not shown. Furthermore, the switch V1 is provided with a cam disc with cam member 14, which is adapted to operate the control contact group SKI. The switch V2 is provided with three contact bank levels E, F, and H, and a cam disc with cam member 15, and is principally of the same design as that of the switch V1. The switch V3 is provided with a contact bank level K and a cam disc with cazn member 15, and is, moreover, of principally the same design as that of the switches V1 and V2.
Although not all of the reference characters are indicated on the drawing, the contact springs of all relays and other switches are supposed to be designated by Arabic numerals from below and upwards, respectively, or from left to right respectively, in each case preceded by the designation of the corresponding component. Thus, the designation T8:4 relates to the fourth contact spring from the left of the contact spring group of the key T3, and, analogous to this, the designation V1B:2 relates to the third contact point from the left of the bank level B of the switch V1, as these contact points start their numbering from 0. The reference sign near the end of a wire indicates to which contact point or contact spring such wire really is connected. All components are shown in their rest position. The operation of apparatus as shown in FIG. 1, will now be discussed in more detail.
Sorting and Counting the Amount of the Coins Normally, the apparatus is connected to a line supply, whereby the rectifier, not shown, of the apparatus applies a voltage to all contact members designated with a plus sign. The coins are assumed to have been charged into the conveyor 10.
First, the apparatus is zeroized by a momentary depression of the key TO. Hereby the circuits T022, T021, RV14 and RV15 are closed, so that the counter RV14 and RV15 are zeroized. Further, a circuit TO:5, TO:6, OR, is closed, so that the zeroizing relay OR is energized. Then this relay is kept energized over the circuit KRzl, KR22, OR:1 and OR:2, until the switches V2 and V3 are zeroized. During the period when the relay OR is energized the rotary switch V2 is first stepped to its zero position, whereby the current takes the course OR:9, ORzlfl, VR2:1, VR2:2, SK2:4, SK225, VR2, Then, the rotary switch V3 is stepped to its zero position, whereby the current takes the course OR:9, OR:10,VR2:1, VR2:2, SK2z4, SK2z3, VR3:1, VR3:2, SK3:3, SK3:4, VR3, When the zeroizing relay OR is energized the disconnecting relays BRl and BR2 are also energized over the circuits OR:1-1, OR212, BRl, and OR:13, OR114, BR2, respectively. The disconnecting relays BR1 and BR2 then are kept energized by means of the holding circuits KM BR122, BR123, BR1,, and Ezt), BR2:2, BR223, BR2, respectively. As soon as the rotary switches V2 and V3 are zeroized the relay KR is energized over the circuit: SK3z2, SK321, SK2:2, SKZzl, KR, TSRzS, TSR:4, Thus the holding circuit for the relay OR will be interrupted at the contacts KR:1, KRzZ, so that the relay OR again drops.
Then, the key TSR is depressed, which is mechanically retained in the depressed position. The motor relay MR is connected to plus over TRzS and TR16, and at the depressing of the key TSR it is led to minus over TRzZ,
4 TR11, TSR27 and TSR28, wherefore it is energized, so
that the conveyor 10 starts to feed the unsorted coins-- onto the track 11. At the depressing of the key TSR, moreover, minus from TSRz4 is led to TSR23 and further on to the coil of the drop relay DR, which is connected to plus over SRzl, SR12, SK121 and SK1:2, whereby the drop relay DR is momentarily energized, so that the contact springs of this latter relay, DR:1-DR:2, DR:3DR:4, etc. close in pairs. In this way the apparatus is positioned for counting.
As soon as a coin, for instance a five-ore-piece on the track 11 touches its contact arm A, in this case the contact arm A2, a circuit A2, T628, T627, DR216, DR115, SR:5, SR:6, SR, is closed, wherefore the start relay SR is energized. As the contact springs SRzS, SR:6 and SR:7 are arranged for continuous switching, i.e. so that SR:6 makes contact with SR:7 beforeit leaves SR:5, the relay SR is then kept energized over Dztt, SR27, SR:6, SR, The drop relay DR is again deenergized as its holding circuit over SR:1 and SRI2 is interrupted at the excitation of the relay SR. At the excitation of the relay SR a circuit SR:4, SR:3, VR1:2, VR1:1, VR1, is closed and therefore the stepping relay VR1 is energized. At the excitation this relay tensions a stepping spring for the stepping mechanism of the rotary switch V1, and, at the same time, it interrupts its own holding circuit over VR1:2 and VR1:1, for which reason it is again deenergized.
At the deenergization of the relay VR1 the spring moves the switch V1 one step forward, whereby the holding current of the start relay SR from the rotary switch point D10 is interrupted, so that said start relay SR is deenergized, and the cam 14 releases the contact spring SK122, so that the latter is led over to the contact spring SK1:3, whereby the contact spring VR1:2 of the stepping relay VR1 is led to plus for a complete revolution of the switch. This is now stepped around on account of the stepping relay VR1 being automatically energized and deenergized.
Assuming now that no other coin than the previously mentioned five-ore-piece has rolled along the track 11 and actuated its contact arm A, then nothing happens until the switch V1 has been advanced to position 9, whereby the following circuit is closed: A2, T6:8, T6:7, B:9, S17, R3, so that the counting relay R3 is excited. At the excitation, the counting relay R3 closes a circuit R3:4, R323, T6210, T6:11, UM2, so that the rejecting magnet UM2, FIG. 6, is energized and by means of the rejecting pin U2 pushes the coin away from the track 11 and down into the shaft 12. The counting relay R3 remains energized as it receives holding current over the circuit R3z2, R311, R3, and therefore the rejecting magnet remains energized.
In order that the rejecting pin U2 shall not prevent the coins from rolling along the track 11, the arrangement is such that the rejecting magnet UM2 actuates the pin U2 through a mechanism which transfers the actuation movement of the magnet armature to the rejecting pin, and, then, releases said pin to permit it to be returned by means of a spring.
The mechanism just mentioned is shown in FIG. 6.
The armature 17 of the rejecting magnet UM2 is loaded by means of a spring 18 and is arranged to swing a lever 19. At one end this lever is provided with a swingable pawl 20, which is pressed against the rejecting pin U2 by means of a leaf spring 21. its normal position by a pressure spring 22. The pawl 20 is provided with a cam surface 23, which is adapted to engage a fixed stop 24, and, furthermore, the pawl is formed with a nose 25 which is adapted to engage a groove 26 in the rejecting pin U2. When the rejecting magnet UM2 is energized, the rejecting pin is pushed outwards, i.e. downwards on the drawing, so that the coin is rejected. After a certain movement of the pawl 20 the cam surface 23 thereof engages the stop 24, so that the nose 25 is withdrawn from the groove 26, said Said pin is retained in pin U2 then being returned to its normal position by means of the spring 22, in spite of the magnet remaining energized. When the magnet is again deenergized, the nose 25 of the pawl is again engaged into the groove 26 inasmuch as the pawl is pressed against the rejecting pin U2 by means of the spring 21. Of course, the mechanism is of the same design in the case of all rejecting magnets UM.
As the coin is now rejected, the circuit from the contact arm A2 is open, but, instead, the counting relay R3 is kept energized to complete the circuit l, R3:2, R3z1, S17. Therefore, as the rotary switch V1 is stepped around, five plus pulses are obtained over the contacts B:10, Bz12, 13:14, B16 and B18, through the common conductor L18, to the coil of the pulse relay 1R1, and, as this is connected to minus, the pulse relay 1R1 is successively energized and deenergized five times. Thereby, five plus pulses are delivered over the contact springs IR1:4 and IR113 to the digit Wheel ET of the lowest order of the counting device RV14, said wheel thus being positioned to show the figure 5. Further, over the contact springs IR-1z2 and IRlzl, five more plus pulses are sent to the stepping relay VRS of the rotary switch V3 to enable a counting of tens.
When the stepping relay VR3 receives these five plus pulses, it is successively energized and deenergized five times, each time moving the switch V3 one step forward in the same way as discussed above with reference to the rotary switch V1. Thus, the switch V3 stops in position 5.
Then, the switch V1 arrives at the position 19, wherein it closes the circuit R312, R3z1, S17, B119, R3, so that the relay R3 is deenergized, as is also the rejecting magnet UM2. Assuming now, that there is no further coin in the apparatus, then, the rotary switch V1 is automatically stepped around, until the cam 14 separates the contact springs SK122 and SK1:3, so that the contact spring VR1:2 of the stepping relay VRl is disconnected from the current supply, thus causing the switch V1 to be stopped in its zero position.
If, on the other hand, a coin has rolled down along the track 11 and actuated its contact arm A, when the switch Vll, after the above-mentioned cycle, arrives at the position 20, two principally difierent possibilities for continued counting present themselves, viz. firstly, by use of the not yet passed contact points of the rotary switch V1, and, secondly, by automatically restarting the rotary switch V1, when it has completed one revolution.
For the sake of simplicity it is first assumed that the new coin is a two-ore-piece. This coin has rolled forward and actuated its contact arm A5, when the switch V1 leaves the position 19, as mentioned above. From the contact arm A5, therefore, plus has been laid to the contact spring DRzlS of the drop relay DR, but as this relay is deenergized nothing happens in the apparatus until the switch V1 has completed its turn. At the zero position of the switch V1 the drop relay, the coil of which is connected to minus through the contact springs TSR13 and TSR:4, will be connected to plus over the contact springs SKlzZ, SKlzl, SR22 and SR:1, whereby the drop relay DR is energized and, in turn, over the circuit A5, T7z8, T7:7, DR:18, DR: 17, SR:5, SR26, SR, energizes the start relay SR, which receives a brief holding plus from the contact D:1 and, when excited, supplies plus onto the contact spring VRlzZ by which the switch V1 is started. Then, the switch is kept moving during one complete revolution, as the contact springs SK1:2 and SK1:3 are connected, as has already been mentioned above. When the rotary switch V1 has been advanced to the position 4, the circuit l, A5, T7 :8, T7:7, B4, S19, R2, is closed, so that the counting relay R2 is energized and provides for the rejection of the two'ore-piece through intermediary of the rejecting magnet UMS resp. the rejecting pin U5, and, at the same time, obtains se1f-holding over the contact springs R22 and R2:1, as has already been discussed with reference to the relay R3, and puts plus onto the contact rail SE9. In the positions 5 and 7 two plus pulses are supplied to the conductor L18, whereby the pulse relay 1R1, in the same way as has been mentioned above, is energized and deenergized twice and at each operation provides for a stepping, firstly, of the digit wheel ET, and, secondly, of the rotary switch V3, arranged for the counting of tens, each one step forward. In the switch position 8 the counting relay R2 is again released in the same way as mentioned with respect to the relay R3. The various parts of the apparatus are now in the same positions as described above in connection with the switch V1 which then was to leave the position' 19, but with the exception that the digit wheel ET now is positioned to show figure 7 and the switch V3 stands in the position 7. If there is no further coin in the apparatus, the rotary switch V1 now completes its turn and is stopped in the zero position.
It shall be assumed however, that a twenty-five-orepiece has arrived at its contact ar-m A6 and has actuated this when the two-ore-piece is counted. It should be mentioned that the twenty-five-iire-piece without obstruction may roll on to its contact arm A6 and, thus, keep plus in readiness already when the two-ore-piece is registered, as the drop relay DR thereby is released and the rejecting pin U5 for the two-ore-piece has been automatically returned by means of its return spring, immediately after the rejection.
As the rotary switch V1 in this case is stepped forward from the last registering position 8, it in the position 20 by means of the contact B2t} closes the circuit A6, T4z8, T4:7, B:2t), S26, R5, so that the counting relay R5 is energized, this relay then providing for the rejection of the twenty-five-ore-piece through the intermediary of the rejecting magnet UM6 and the rejecting pin U6 respectively, and, at the same time, obtaining self-holding over the contact springs R5 :2 and R5 :1, as mentioned with respect to the relays R2 and R3, as Well as applying plus onto the contact rails S20, S21 and S22. In the switch positions 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 five plus pulses are transferred to the conductor L18, so that the pulse relay 1R1, as mentioned above, is energized and deenergized five times, and, at each operation, provides for a stepping of, firstly, the digit wheel ET, and, secondly the switch V3, arranged for the counting of tens, each one step onward. After this counting the digit wheel ET, around which the figures 0-9 are spaced, has been turned past the zero position and has been positioned to show the figure 2, and, at the same time, the rotary switch V3 has been stepped to the position 12 during which operation it has carried out a tens-transmission, as will be described below.
During the above discussed counting of five one-digitpulses for the twenty-five-ore-piece two plus pulses in the switch positions 22 and 24 by means of the contact points C:22 and 0:24 are transferred from the contact rail S22 to a conductor L19. The conductor L19 is connected to a pulse relay 1R2, which is thereby energized and deenergized twice. At each operation this pulse relay 1R2 provides for a stepping of, firstly, the tens digit wheel TT of the counting device RV14, and, secondly, a second rotary switch V2, arranged for counting of tens, each one step forward. The switch V2 is stepped and released in principally the same way as the rotary switches V1 and V3. When, in the switch position 29, the last one of the five one-digit-pulses has been registered, the switch V1 continues to the zero position, in which the relay R5 is released by means of a plus pulse from the rail 21 to the contact Bzt) and then to the relay coil. At the same time, the stepping relay VRl of the rotary switch V1 is disconnected from the current supply by means of the cam 14, as has already been mentioned. The switch V1, however, does not stop at this position, as will now be described.
The switch V2, which has been positioned in position 2 at the just mentioned transmission of two tens pulses from the contact spring IR2:1 of the pulse relay 1R2, gives plus from the plus contact rail of the contact level E to the contact spring DRzS of the drop relay DR through the closed contact springs BR1:2 and BRizi of the disconnecting relay BRl. When the drop relay is momentarily energized in the zero position of the switch V1, this plus is transferred onto the contact spring DR:'7 of the drop relay, so that the starting relay SR is excited and again starts the rotary switch in the manner already mentioned.
During the above-mentioned counting operation, the switch V3 has, as already indicated, received twelve onedigit-pulses from the pulse relay 1R1, and the digit wheel ET of the lowest order has been turned one revolution on to the position two. The tens digit wheel TT has, however, only been positioned in position 2 and, likewise, the switch V2 has only been stepped forward to the position 2.. The tens-transmission called for is carried out in the following manner:
In the position 8 of the switch V3 the holding circuit of the disconnecting relay BRl, which circuit starts from the plus rail of the switch level K, is opened, wherefore this relay is deenergized and prepares for the tens transmission. Then, as the switch V3 is stepped forward to the position 10, the plus rail of this switch is connected to the conductor L and, before the switch V3 has been stepped forward to the position 18, the switch V1 passes the position 15, where the contact point C:15 is connected to the contact rail S24. Thereby, the tens transfer relay TR1 is energized and receives holding current over the circuit TR1:2, TR121, At the same time, the tens transfer relay TR1 again energizes the disconnecting relay BRl by means of the contact springs TR1:3 and TR1:4, whereafter the disconnecting relay is kept energized, as has already been mentioned. As the tens transfer relay TR1 is now energized, plus by the contact springs TR122 and TR1:1 is transferred onto the contact rail S22. When the switch V1 then passes the position 16, the circuit TR1:2, TR:1, S22, V1C216, L19, LR2, is closed, the pulse relay 1R2 thereby delivering a plus pulse to the tens digit wheel TT and to the switch V2, thus stepping them one step each forward. Thus, the counting device VR14 has now been positioned into position 32, which is the amount of the sorted coins. In the position 17 of the switch V1 the circuit S24, V1Cz17, T R1, is closed, and therefore the tens transfer relay TR1 is again deenergized, whereas the disconnecting relay BRl, however, remains energized.
Parallel to the rail S24 there is disposed another contact rail S26 with corresponding contact points Cz27, 0:28 and Cz29, which are arranged parallel to the contact points C215, C116 and C:17, and, therefore, a tens trans fer operation may take place also in this switch position, if desired. These last mentioned members have been arranged only in order that the capacity of the switch V1 may be utilized in the best way possible.
As far as sorting and counting are concerned the circuits of the different types of coins are principally alike, and therefore a further description thereof is considered to be superfluous. However, it should be mentioned that a tens transfer of the above discussed kind is not required as regards kronor, and two kronor-pieces. The sum total of kronor and two-kronor is directly indicated and registered in the counting device VRM, which contains several digit wheels for the indication of the one-digit-, tendigits-, hundred-digits figure, etc. of the kronor amount. Between these wheels the tens transfer is performed by mechanical means.
Tubing When packing coins in coin wrappers, so-called tubing, whereby the apparatus, each time, works with one type of coin only, the zeroizing key T0 is first depressed, so that the apparatus is zeroized as described above.
Then, one of the tubing keys T1-T8 for the type of coin in question is depressed, for instance for two-kronor pieces. Hereby, the circuit T1126, TR25, MR, T111, T122, is closed, so that the motor relay MR is energized and starts the conveyor 10, so that the coins are fed onto the track 11.
When the first two-kronor piece actuates its contact arm Al, the following circuit is closed: All, T118, T129, HR, TSR:6, TSR:7, TR:1, TR22, so that the auxiliary relay HR is energized. Hereby, the latter sends a plus pulse through the path TR16, TR:5, HRzS, HR:6 to the counting device RV15, so that the coin is regis tered therein. At the same time, the auxiliary relay HR sends a plus pulse through the path T6211, TG210, HR:4, HR:3 to the stepping relay VR2 of the rotary switch V2, which relay steps the switch V2 one step forward. :Finally, the auxiliary relay HR sends a plus pulse through the path TR26, TR25, HR:1, HR12, T1212, T1211 to the rejecting magnet UM:1, so that the coin is rejected from the track 11.
When twenty-five coins have been rejected from the track 11 in the manner explained, and the rotary switch accordingly is positioned in the position 25, the circuit Fz25, T1:5, T124, TR, is closed, so that the tubing relay TR is energized and obtains holding current over the circuit 'I'OzS, TO:4, TS:3, TRt4, TR23, TR, Thereby, the circuit TR12, TR:1, TSRz7, TSR26, HR, is opened, so that the auxiliary relay HR cannot be excited by means of the twenty-sixth coin. This, therefore, remains on the track 11, so that the coin wrapper with the rejected twenty-five coins may be replaced by an empty one. At the energizing of the tubing relay TR even the circuit TR26, TRzS, MR, etc. is opened, so that the motor relay MR is disconnected and temporarily stops the driving motor of the conveyor 10. When the tubing relay TR is kept energized the circuit TR:10, TRz9, VR211, VR222, SK224, SKZz'S, VR2, is closed, so that the rotary switch V2 returns to the zero position.
When the wrapper has been replaced, the key TS is depressed, whereby the holding circuit of the tubing relay T015, TO:4, T824, T823, TRz4, TR23, TR, is opened, so that this relay is deenergized. Thereby, the circuit TR:2, TR:1, TSRz7, TSR:6, HR, is closed, so that the auxiliary relay HR again may be energized by means of the twenty-sixth coin as well as. by the next ones in turn.
When tubing other coins than two-kronor-pieces, more contact points are required in the rotary switch V2, wherefore the switch must be driven two revolutions for each tubing cycle, and thereby use the contact level F and then the contact level H.
When the switch V2 by tubing of for example two-ore pieces, has been stepped forward into the position 29, the circuit F229, PR, is closed, and therefore the change over relay PR is energized. Thereby, plus over the contact springs FR:2, FRzl is laid to the hitherto inactive contact rail S27 of the switch level P, and, furthermore, the change over relay FR obtains holding current through the following path -I-, DR:7, DR:8, TR:8, TR:7, FRz5, FR14, FR, When the switch V2 on its second revolution arrives at the position 20, i.e. corresponding to fifty coins, a circuit is closed from the rail S27 to the contact springs T7 :5 and T724 of the now actuated key T7, so that the tubing relay TR again is energized and temporarily stops the apparatus in order to permit the replacement of the wrapper. Then, the apparatus is again started in the way already mentioned by depressing the key TS, so that the tubing relay TR is deenergized, as is also the change over relay FR.
Series Counting Series counting is carried out when it is desired to count the number of coins of one sort only. Thereby, the
9 key TG is depressed and the motor relay is energized over the contact springs TG:1 and TGz2. Further, the key for the type of coin in question is depressed, in this example the key T7, which deals with two-ore-pieces.
As is already mentioned, when tubing, it is necessary to have a current over the contact springs TGzlil, HR:4 and HR:3 for the stepping of the switch V2. As the contact springs TG211 and TK210 are now separated, the switch V2 remains standing during the series counting. As in the case of the described tubing, plus pulses are obtained from the contact arms A, in this instance the arm A5, and these pulses over the path A5, T7 :8, T729, HR, TSR:6, TSR:7, TR:1, TR:2, provide for the energizing of the auxiliary relay. Thereby, this through its contact springs HR:5 and HR:6 emits a counting impulse to the counting device RV15. At the same time, it through the contacts T7 :12 and T7 :11 emits a pulse to the rejecting magnet UMS by means of the contact springs HRzl and HR:2, so that the coin is rejected and a new coin may roll forward and actuate the contact arm A5. This is then continuously repeated until the apparatus is stopped or the coins in the conveyor 10 are exhausted.
The embodiment according to FIG. 4 is distinguished from the one in FIG. 1 in that the coins on the track 11 shall not actuate any contact arms and then be rejected from this track by means of an electro-mechanic device of the kind shown in FIG. 6. In this second embodiment the coins are instead diverted from the track by means of wedge formed projections K1-K8 which are arranged at successively decreasing heights above the track 11. Then, the coins drop down into channels 27, FIGS. 4 and 7, where they are placed on edge, one on top of the other, and are kept in readiness for the counting.
As is shown in FIG. 7 a hunting magnet AM1AM8, is arranged for each channel, and when the apparatus is running these hunting magnets are energized and deenergized in rapid succession by means of a hunting relay AT, common for all the magnets. To the armature of the hunting magnet loaded with a spring 28, is secured a lever 29 which extends through an aperture in the back wall 27A of the channel 27. At its outer end the lever 29 is provided with an abutment '30 and a support tongue 31. When the magnet AM is energized, the abutment 30 is pushed outwards, so that it projects a little beyond the level of the outside of the bow-shaped ribs 32 at the lower end of the channel 27. Along the level just men tioned a moveable contact 33 extends across an opening 34 in the front wall of the channel. When there is no coin in the channel, the abutment 30 is free to move forwards and backwards. If, however, a coin stands on the ribs 32 when the abutment 30 is pushed outwards, said abutment engages the coin and pushes it away from the ribs 32, so that it slides down onto the supporting tongue 31. When the coin is displaced outwards, it pulls outwards the contact arm 83, so that the contact springs AM621 and AM6:3, FIG. 5 actuated by the contact arm 33, are laid against their fixed contact springs AM622 and AM624, resp. When the abutment 30 returns, the lower edge of the inside of the coin abuts the ribs 32, whereas the supporting tongue 31 is pulled away, so that the coin drops down into the shaft 12.
The operation of the apparatus will now be described in more detail with reference especially to FIG. 5, wherein are shown those parts only which imply an alteration as compared with FIGS. 2 and 3. When the apparatus is started, after a previous actuation of the zeroizing key T0, for instance by depressing the key TSR so that sorting and counting is performed, a circuit AR:1, ARzZ, AR, TSR:3, TSR:4, is closed, so that the hunting relay AR is energized, and again opens the just mentioned circuit, for which reason it is again deenergized, whereafter it is energized once more, and so on. In order that the deenergizing may take place at a moderate speed a condenser 35 is connected between a centre tap of the.
coil of the hunting relay AR and minus. Each time the hunting relay AR is energized, its contact springs AR:3AR:4, AR:5--AR:6, a.s.o. are closed by the pair so that the hunting magnets AMI-AM6 are energized, and these later open when the hunting relay AR is released. Therefore, the levers 29, are continuously reciprocated so that the abutments 30 as well as the tongues 31 carry out a reciprocating movement. As soon as a coin enters between an abutment 31 and the. corresponding contact arm 33 this contact arm is actuated, so that the contact springs AM6:1 and AM623, for example, actuated by said contact arm, are laid against their fixed contact springs, i.e. in this case AM6:2 and AM6:4. Thereby, the hunting magnet AM6 receives holding current over the circuit TSR:2, TSRzl, AM6:1, AM6:2, AM6, T6:11, T6z10, R3z4, R3:3, wherefore it briefiy remains energized. At the same time, the circuit AM6z3, AM6:4, T6:8, DR:16, DR:15, SR:5, SR:6, SR, is closed, as. the drop relay DR has been temporarily excited already at the depressing of the key TSR, as mentioned regarding the embodiment according to FIG. 1. When the latter circuit is closed, the switch V1 is started, and in the position 9 of same the counting relay R3 is excited in the same manner as has already been mentioned above. Thereby, the holding circuit of the hunting magnet AM6 opens, so that the magnet is deenergized, the coin then being pushed off from the supporting tongue 31 to drop down into the shaft 12. Then, the counting is carried out in the same way as described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, until the counting relay R3 again is released at position 19 of the switch V1. Simultaneously, with the counting described above other coins also may be counted. Supposing that there are coins in the corresponding channels, a one-'ore, ten-ore and a one-kronapiece, for instance, are counted in the switch positions 1, 2 and 3, respectively; in the switch positions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 a two-ore-piece is counted, and in the switch positions 4-14 a fifty-ore-piece is counted, as Will be seen from FIG. 2. This, naturally, is also the case with the embodiment according to FIG. 1, but with the second embodiment now described the advantage is that. the coins may be brought forward into a position in readiness for counting without hindering each other, wherefore the capacity of the apparatus is considerably increased. In all other respects the two embodiments are identical.
The invention has been described above with reference to an apparatus for Swedish coins, but it is readily appreciated, that it may also be applied to other types of coins.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment as shown, as a number of modifications and detail alterations may be introduced.

Philip Augustin Clayton # 46166224
Gerry, the spelling with one 'l' of all the Philips (there are many) in this particular Clayton family, is a result of the naming of the very first Philip (1702-1786) ever in the Clayton family, after his maternal grandfather, my 8th great-grandfather, Philip Pendleton (1654-1721)who came to this country in the 1600s.
It is a distinguishing factor in tracing the family. Now if there were only some simple way besides Roman numerals or jr.jr.jr to recognize the generations of Samuels...
I've added a portrait to the memorial and if you'd please correct the spelling, my southern cousins and I, along with future generations, would be most grateful.

RE: John Lamar Grave
My earlier response was based on your edit submitted to Find -A-Grave (see below):
Their suggestion:
Can you tell me how you know John died in Autauga Al? I know he was there in the last census he was in, but I show he actually died in Dallas Co. I am not sure how close they are.

RE: John Lamar Grave
Did not mean to sound offensive. You had originally inquired or questioned whether he died in Dallas County. John Lamar, as far as we know, lived in Western Autauga County. He and wife were members of the Old Harmony Baptist Church which is not far from their family cemetery.

It's so hard seeing someone you care about continually make bad decisions that wreck their life. As an outsider, their errors can be really easy to see. Maybe you've even tried to offer help or advice to someone like this, but they never seem to listen. They think they know what they're doing and it will all work out fine. But time and time and time again, they keep digging a deeper hole.
Topics: life
So, how often do we need encouragement, anyway? Is a yearly pat on the back from our employer good enough? Do our families need to hear kind words from us weekly? How needy are we, really? Turns out, we humans are pretty needy. We need food daily. We need sleep daily. Our hearts need encouragement daily, too.

Ludmila saw an opportunity to diversify and work smarter. She knew she'd be in her shop selling items every day. Why not take a leap of faith and offer some things that aren't office supplies to supplement the seasons when sales are slower? Summer - inflatable mattresses for people in her area welcoming guests into town. Winter - artificial Christmas trees and decorations. When we asked her how her leap of faith went, she said, "Praise God, we've nearly sold it all." Give credit where it's due - to God - when you've taken a leap of faith and He's provided. God used Ludmila to provide items her community needs, and He blessed her in the process, too.
Ludmila displayed a heart of gratitude for God's provision.

It's easy to fall victim to always feeling like you never have enough. Everywhere I look today, I see the opportunity to get something that is better than what I have. It could be a car, a watch, a phone, a house or anything else money can buy. I don't know about you but this sometimes causes me to not value what I currently have.
In this week's message, Pastor Craig challenged us to choose gratitude because God is the giver of all good things.

You and I have so much to be thankful for in this moment in time. We have breath in our lungs today. We've probably had a meal within the past few hours. We can use the Internet to make connections to and grow spiritually with other humans we'd never otherwise meet.

Bird flu's ticking time bomb
VACCINATING chickens may be the only way out of the bird flu nightmare in Asia. But it could also lead to the evolution of new strains, the latest research shows, increasing the risk of a human pandemic. Only intensive surveillance can stop this happening, but experts say the countries affected do not have the necessary systems in place.
Last week China declared its bird flu outbreaks had ended. Health officials are vaccinating millions of the birds that escaped slaughter. Indonesia is also vaccinating, and other Asian countries hit by the H5N1 bird flu are considering the same strategy.
But the H5N1 virus is almost certainly still circulating among the vaccinated birds, and the fear is that in this abnormal setting it may evolve into a form that is not only fatal to people, like the current one, but can also spread from person to person. Research in Mexico has shown ...

No Liverpool contact with Jurgen Klopp until after Rodgers exit - agent
Liverpool only made an approach for Jurgen Klopp to succeed Brendan Rodgers after he was sacked, according to the German's agent, despite chairman Tom Werner admitting the club had been watching the coach for "a long time."
Rodgers was dismissed as manager by the Reds last Sunday after the 1-1 draw against Everton, with Klopp then appointed the following Thursday.
Although it only took four days for Liverpool to make the change, Klopp's representative, Marc Kosicke, insists the club only acted...

Fuel economy standards drive down projected gasoline use; diesel use, product exports rise
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2014 Reference case
In the U.S. Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2014 (AEO2014) Reference case, more-stringent vehicle fuel economy standards contribute to a decline in motor gasoline consumption through 2040. At the same time, growth in heavy-duty vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is greater than increasing heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy, contributing to rising diesel fuel demand.
One of the primary drivers of the decrease in motor gasoline consumption is more stringent fuel economy standards that, based on National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates, will require new light-duty vehicles to average about 49 miles per gallon in vehicle model year (MY) 2025, versus their current compliance estimate of about 33 miles per gallon in MY 2012. The Reference case projects an increase in VMT that, all else equal, would increase motor gasoline fuel consumption. However, higher fuel efficiency standards more than offset this increase to result in an overall decline in motor gasoline consumption.
In contrast to the projected decline in gasoline use, a strong increase in heavy-duty VMT leads to an increase in consumption of diesel fuel, even as heavy-duty vehicle fuel economy increases in response to EPA fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emission standards. New refinery projects are expected to focus on shifting production from gasoline to distillate fuels to meet growing domestic and global demand for diesel. In addition to meeting domestic demand, refineries continue to export finished products to international markets throughout the projection. The United States became a net exporter of finished petroleum products in 2011, with net petroleum product exports growing in the Reference case through 2040.
The projections for gasoline and diesel use in the Reference case reflect current laws and policies, including fuel efficiency standards that have already been issued as final rules. Further efficiency standards and changes in travel behavior are key uncertainties that could result in future fuel use being different from the Reference case projections. Their potential effects are also considered in AEO2014 in side cases and an Issues in Focus article.News Source : Fuel economy standards drive down projected gasoline use; diesel use, product exports rise
