Healthcare REITs are particularly interesting, as they provide very high potential reward at the cost of perceived risk. But what makes healthcare REITs so rewarding?
Healthcare REITs can benefit from:
1) Extremely high cap-rates:
- Omega Healthcare (NYSE:OHI) recently acquired 27 facilities for $206mm. This sale-leaseback transaction provides initial rental revenues of $22.6mm with 2% annual bumps for the duration of the 10-year contract. That is a 10.97% and growing annual cap-rate. Data from the company's 3Q conference call.
- Medical Properties Trust (NYSE:MPW) acquired facilities from Ernest for $200mm in a sale-leaseback transaction that has a 20-year contract with an initial cap-rate of 9%, with annual CPI adjusted bumps between a 2% floor and 5% ceiling. Data from the company's Quarterly Report.
- LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC) announced in a Press Release the acquisition of 2 SNFs for $54mm and signed a related 15-year lease providing an initial cash yield of 8.5% and an estimated GAAP yield of 10.1% annually.
2) Plenty of room for growth: Large tracts of healthcare real-estate remains under the ownership of its operators. Many healthcare REITs are reporting active pipelines that are supported by this large pool of properties.
3) Stable cashflows from the sale-leaseback business: The sale-leaseback business model frequently uses triple net leases with built -in rate increases. This promotes stable and growing cashflows.
4) Strong and well supported dividends: Healthcare REITs on average have a 5.66% dividend yield, as compared to equity REITs as a whole that average around 3.84%
The perceived risk
While there is certainly risk associated with the business model, the actual source of risk is largely misunderstood. When measuring risk for healthcare REITs, we must be careful to separate their risk factors from those of healthcare operators.
Any changes that affect the profitability of healthcare operators will not materially affect healthcare REITS unless the damage is severe enough that it causes default on rental contracts. To judge the size of the cushion REITs have, take a look at the EBITDA debt coverage of the facility operators. If investors go in knowing the risks and portion the investment accordingly, healthcare REITs can offer excellent returns.
As investments...
The market price of healthcare REITs has a strange tendency to fluctuate materially, even without news. Stranger still is that individual stocks in the sector will move in opposite directions with no released information which would favor one over another.
As such, we have seen a transition of the best value in the sector as measured by FFO multiple from SBRA to MPW and then again to OHI. Senior Housing Properties (NYSE:SNH) has had the lowest multiple, but due to its ties with CommonWealth REIT (CWH) and RMR, I will refrain from any further consideration of it.
In October of 2011, Sabra Healthcare's (NASDAQ:SBRA) price fell so far that it actually traded at a multiple of 7.5. The subsequent surge in its price left MPW as the best value. Soon, investors began to take note of just how accretive MPW's aforementioned transactions with Ernest were and MPW's price also took off.
This left Omega Healthcare as the value champion in the sector. A title that was greatly enhanced yesterday, (10/26/12) when OHI's price dropped below $23.00, despite a third quarter report which beat estimates by $0.02 cents per share. This simultaneous decrease in price and increase in forecast earnings net an FFO multiple of 10.6.

Sector Average
Healthcare can be considered recession-proof, as medical conditions need treatment regardless of economic circumstances. Instead, the risk lies in government policies. Thus, these REITS are not necessarily more dangerous, just a different type of risk. Give consideration to diversifying with some of the cheaper valued healthcare REITs, and enjoy the oversized cashflows and dividends.

Sharon Apartments for Rent
Quiet, unassuming Sharon, Pennsylvania is situated along the Shenango River in Mercer County near the Ohio border. Settled in 1795, Sharon's long history centered on coal mining then transitioned into other industries. Today, light industry still plays a role in the economy, while health care and education have taken the lead.
Penn State Shenango, a campus of Penn State University, opened in 1965. It is situated on over 14 acres in downtown Sharon and features several degree programs. Lecture Hall, the oldest building on campus, was built in 1904. The Penn State Theatre was built in 1928 and is currently used for concerts, lectures, and other events.
The Frank H. Buhl Mansion was built in 1891 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is considered one of the country's most romantic inns and has won numerous awards, including Best Spa Services, Top 10 Most Romantic Inns in the US, and the Top 10 Most Memorable Bedrooms.
When you rent an apartment in Sharon, you'll have access to beautiful parks and golf courses, such as Buhl Park and Buhl Farm Golf Course — a free nine-hole public golf course, the only free golf course in the country.

How many people?October 17,2013
How many people?
What is a sustainable population for Vermont? That depends. That depends on how you define optimal and sustainable. Then it depends on what indicators you use to measure what is optimal/sustainable. In a world groundbreaking report just published by Vermonters for Sustainable Population and readable on its website, www.vspop.org, those it depends questions are answered.
If you are using the scientifically based, objective and responsible ecological footprint indicator, a long-term sustainable population is 150,000, compared with its current population of more than 626,000. If you are using the more subjective quality of life indicator, then an optimal population could be up to 700,000. In between these two numbers are the indicators of biodiversity, environmental health, food self-sufficiency, forest cover, greenhouse gas emissions, happiness of Vermont citizens, renewable energy production, rural living/working landscape, scenic beauty, spiritual connectedness, steady-state economy and water quality.
Projecting what is an optimal/sustainable population size will always be a debatable discussion, but having that discussion for Vermont as we face many dire social and environmental challenges is extremely important.
I urge all Vermont citizens to read the report and then begin the discussion with your family, friends, communities, environmental and social organizations, churches, governmental agencies and politicians. Do we think that we should grow Vermonts population to 1 or 2 million, or even more like most other states, or would some other number be more desirable and sustainable?

I was a member of this board for a looooooooong time, and I wanted to swing by and offer some words of encouragement to those who may need it.
Some of you may remember me, but to those that don't, DH and I tried for 2.5 years to have a second child. We had 2 chemical pregnancies, a 9w loss, and suffered unexplained secondary infertility. I had endometriosis removed before DS, have ovarian cysts (but without the syndrome aspect of PCOS), a tilted uterus and minor fibroids. DH had a borderline low sperm count. However, none of these was identified as the factor causing our IF or losses.
Our treatment has consisted of drugs, tests and three rounds of IUI. I had the HSG. I took the vitamins. DH ate the gogi berries and took folic. We charted, temped, OPK'd, BD'd on schedule and analysed every aspect of our lifestyle. We walked the hard yards. We were moving to IVF in January of this year, and had booked our spot, had the tests and met the doctors.
For my last IUI cycle, my FS started me on Prednisone (to reduce any inflammation), blood thinner injections, Progesterone and estrogen, Feldene, Aspirin and I also had FSH as well as letrozole to stimulate egg production.
It worked! I got my BFP 10 DPO and was ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED! Crapping my pants, scared. I was not prepared for the fear.
I had weekly scans from 5 to 10 weeks and bought a doppler that I use every single day to reassure myself. It is a hard and scary road, but I just hit 12 weeks on Monday and feel like I can finally start to hope. The NT scan results were brilliant, HB is strong on the doppler and I hope we can bring this baby home.
I wanted to tell my story because there are a few of us that have recurrent miscarriages. A few more suffer from infertility. Some of us are at the start of our journey and others have been walking this rocky path for far too long. I almost gave up so many times. To have month after month of failure and defeat, then to catch the egg, only to lose it. Again. There are fewer things in life more devastating.
But I really believe that if you keep going, even when every part of you wants to give up, you will get there. By all means, take a break if you need to. But don't ever think it won't happen for you. I in no way thought IUI #3 would do it. At all. Particularly as I'd had a CP a couple of months earlier and we were averaging a year between BFP's. I wasn't due for another BFP for 10 more months.
But we got there and we got to the magic 12w, and I desperately hope our bad luck is over. I recently found out that another good friend of mine, whom I met on these boards, also got her BFP last week. She had also been trying for over 2 years, with recurrent losses. It CAN happen!
I wanted to come back here and cheer everyone on. This is the HARDEST journey ever.... to want something so bad and not have complete control.... to be fearful when it does seem within reach. I know. But hope and whatever faith you may have will get you through. Believe that it will happen. Its OK to go a bit crazy. Its OK to be pissed at every pregnant person on the face of the earth. its normal.
I would never wish this on anyone, but I'm also pleased to have found my Sisters In Loss. When no one else "got it", you all did. You were there when I cried, when I raged, when I wanted to curl up in a dark space and never come out. You were there. And I thank you.
Just know that your rainbow is waiting. It WILL happen.

The Broncos will play in Baltimore on Sunday, a city that has had some experience with ironmen over the years — see: Ripken Jr., Cal — so Broncos center Casey Wiegmann should fit in nicely this weekend.
Wiegmann will make his 134th consecutive start Sunday, the longest current streak in the league — by 15 games — for a center and the second- longest for offensive linemen overall.
Detroit tackle Jeff Backus is just one ahead, expected to make his 135th consecutive start Sunday against the Rams.
Lots of players have streaks and many players are durable, but Wiegmann's current streak is notable because of the fact he has played every offensive snap — regular season and postseason, 8,434 in all — since it began when he was with the Chiefs in 2001.
Wiegmann, who took some time to consider retirement before returning to the Broncos this season, has always said, "I just want to play, I want to be out there, trying to contribute in some way."
In all the roster changes for the Broncos this past offseason, the offensive line was the lone spot of stability, with all five starters from '08 set to be back in '09. But the one position that can settle in an offensive line quickly is the center.
And with Wiegmann in the middle, making the calls, the Broncos have had their best chance to make the transition to a new offensive scheme with as few troubles as possible.
At 6-feet-2, 285 pounds, Wiegmann is not as big as some of the centers coming into the league these days, for it's rare to even have a single offensive lineman invited to the scouting combine anymore who isn't at least 300 pounds.
But Wiegmann has survived and flourished because he's smart, tough and stays with the play. He's had a few penalty flags tossed his way this season — four — but scouts around the league continue to laud his composure in the face of an attacking defense and his ability to win at the point of attack though giving away as much as 50 or more pounds to the defensive tackles across from him.
And to do that while fighting through the week-to-week injuries of a football life, to keep getting back on the field is a testament to reliability.
"I've been fortunate," Wiegmann said. "I guess I've just been real fortunate."

I miss you, I love you
I miss you so much. I've been in a tailspin with out you. This week end marked the third year since you were taken away from this world, and even though you are always on my mind this is the first time I've allowed my self to say these things since your funeral.
We have been through so much together. We should have been the great American success story. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Life decided to shit on us.
I want to let you know that I will always remember our times together.
They were the defining moments of my life.
I will always remember the time when we first moved out together, We were just right out of college. It was Wed. and we didn't get paid until Fri. It had been two days since we had eaten anything real. We were starving and the only things we had in the entire house was mayo and cooking oil. That's when a light bulb flashed in my head "mayo is made with eggs, I can fry it". I remember they look like little pancakes and when we cut them oil would pour out. They were so gross but we were so hungry we ate them any way.
I remember us holding each other after that, crying about how low our lives had gotten.
I remember us looking in each others eyes and promising to each other that we would never let that happen to us again, we would do everything humanly possible to live our dreams.
We focused all our energy in to our promise. I remember us selling my car and all our
unneeded belongings for capital to get our business started.
I will never forget the next four years that followed. All the victories and defeats we suffered, all the sacrifices we made. I love that no matter what, win or lose, you always told me and showed me how proud of me you were and how much you loved me. Thank you.
I remember when the business was finally strong. We took $20,000 in 5 dollar bills all crumpled up in a duffel bag and went shopping. I remember the dress you bought, You looked so beautiful in it.
On the "date night" that you wore the dress, do you remember when we were walking down the street holding hands? As a joke I tried to walk you into a pole but when I let go of your hand, you didn't let go of mine. You ran smack dab into it and fell down with your skirt all ridding up. I thought I was dead, like you were actually going to kill me. Instead you were laughing out of control, you called me an ass, threw your shoe at me, and then proceeded to get up and bow for all the on lookers.
That's exactly why I loved you so much. Because you were so confident, you never took stuff too seriously, but you were always strong when you needed to be.
There is so many memories, and so many milestones. When we bought our first house together, all of our vacations together, When we bought your car and paid for it in quarter rolls because the sales man was being such a dick. There was so many great, fun, and random things we did together.
I remember blind folding you and driving you back to the house were we made the "promise". I proposed to you on the front lawn. I thought it was fitting to do it at the place where it all began. We stood there holding each other on some strangers lawn for twenty minutes, I really thought they were going to spray us with the garden hose.
Ive been a shell of my self the last three years. I don't have the slightest idea on how to move on with my life. Its not fair, we both turn 29 this year, we were supposed to have
more time. This was supposed to happen when we are old and gray. Its not fair that there are couples out there that don't even want to be together and they take their time for granted. I loved you every day and I dedicated everything I am to living an incredible life with you. It is not fucking fair.
I miss you. Everything I am, every thing I have, the world as I see it, has the memory of you in it. I cant believe that life has decided to "punish" me, for loving someone so much that I actually did what I said I was going to do, by making me live our dreams with out you. I guess it really is true that you cant have everything, because for a little while there, We truly had everything we needed and wanted.
The business is now stronger than what we thought was even possible.
One of our friends got married.
Two of our best friends just had a baby.
Life keeps moving on.

HAINES -- This year spring has been sneaking up on us like an afternoon nap. Every day, it seems, about mid-afternoon, winter lets go for an hour or two. The ice melts, the sun shines, the snowlines on roadsides, yards and beaches recede. My hens come out of their coop, fluff their feathers, scratch and cackle.
The high school track team is running outdoors instead of in the gym; although the track has been cleared with a snow-blowing truck, it remains an icy oval more suited to speed-skating than the 4-x-100 relay.
Easter Sunday was true to the pattern of cold mornings and warm afternoons. We made sure there was wood in the stove before leaving for church, but by the time everyone came over for dinner the doors were wide open. We stood outside in the sun, or sat on the back porch steps drinking beer or ginger ale and watching the children find the colored eggs Liam hid in the snowy yard and up and down the tide-rinsed sandy beach.
Liam was the first to arrive. It took him the better part of the day to snowshoe from his cabin on the other side of the peninsula, up and over Mount Riley and down to our house on the Chilkat Inlet shore. He said there was no real trail, but it didn't matter until he noticed that the gunshots were closer than they should be and realized he was walking into, rather than behind, the business end of the Haines Sportsmen's Club rifle range. Fortunately he escaped harm, which would become the theme of the day.
We ate ham, asparagus, shrimp salad and fresh pickled Dolly Varden. There were sweet hot-cross buns and spicy Italian bread sticks too, and lemon pie, carrot cake and sugar cookies. The dogs stuck close enough that you had to be careful where you put a plate down.
We talked about everything from pirates in Somalia to the crazy letter to the editor in the Chilkat Valley News and, of course, the weather. If there's snow on the ground on April 24 it will mean we have had six months of winter.
My son-in-law from Wisconsin had the Cubs game on the TV. There was swing music on the stereo. In other words, it was mostly noisy and happy inside and out.
There were some quiet conversations at the end of the big table and over in the window seat. One friend had lost her husband of nearly 60 years this winter, another's wife had been here at Christmas but died much too young before Valentine's Day. Still, a baby had been born to one family and there was one more on the way for another couple. "That's life," as my dad, a widower, would say when he called to wish us happy Easter.
Everything changed when my oldest daughter's pager went off. It was on top of the piano so we all heard the police dispatcher say that a helicopter had crashed at Mile 33 Haines Highway. My daughter is a volunteer EMT. She ran out the door with her gear in her arms, pulling on a pair of boots. I imagined the scene at similar gatherings all over town as fire department members grabbed their insulated coveralls and tugged them on over skirts or Hawaiian shirts. (There was an island themed party up at the just-opened-for-summer Fireweed Restaurant.)
That's when we realized another guest had gone kind of white. Sierra's boyfriend wasn't with her because he had to work. He is a heli- ski guide. The helicopters he flies take off and land at the 33 Mile Roadhouse. She tried to call, but the lines were busy. She said the helicopters held six skiers and a pilot.
The possibility of that kind of disaster is enough to make you stop breathing. Also, it could be even worse. There are a cluster of homes around the popular roadhouse, as well as some gas pumps. The highway runs right by too.
We did our best to assume that is was false alarm or just a small kind of accident. One friend pointed out that helicopter crashes are not always fatal, saying, "Lots of them went down in Vietnam and those guys walked away."
Which is what happened this time too. Sierra's boyfriend called with nothing but good news. There had only been one guy in the helicopter when it crashed into the soft snow on a gentle slope, and he was OK but on his way to the Juneau hospital to get checked out.
This morning I can hear another helicopter dropping off more skiers somewhere in the mountains. I prefer birds that fly closer to the ground, like the robins hopping in the beach grass and the nuthatches in the spruce trees.
But I am mostly thinking of the colorful flock of children playing in the back of the church on Sunday, chirping and twirling full of so much joy and jelly beans that the priest cut the sermon short. There was nothing better to say.

Northeast Louisiana Bridge Association members Karen Haik, Martha Young and Yvonne Armstrong, president, enjoy playing at the Bridge Center on Cameron Street in Monroe.
- Filed Under
It's a Tuesday afternoon and six tables are filled with players at the Bridge Center on Cameron Street in Monroe. The players are seated on straight back chairs at sturdy card tables. There's a small, plastic, footstool-like table beside each chair for soft drinks and coffee. A low murmur rises from the crowd - not a loud sound, just the soft click of cards being played, the rustling of chairs, then a few brief comments at the end of each game.
The Bridge Center's formal name is the Northeast Louisiana Bridge Association, and today I'm being shown around by President Yvonne Armstrong of Monroe, ...

Brought it home last night and don't want to turn it off. I was impressed with the sound and hav'nt felt the need to hook up my entertainment center.
I have owned this tv for a little while now and have yet to have any problems with it. The picture quality is great and I use this tv for everything. I have my computer, xbox, tv receiver, and dvd player hooked up to it and it does great.
Very nice tv. We thought this was the best HTDV for the size we were looking for considering the price. The key factor in our purchase was the audio speakers. They face forward on this model. Not down or to the sides like almost all the other 32 and 37 inch HDTVs we looked at. You can hear the difference, the audio sounded more clear to us.
the Visio TV was ready to be picked up in less than one hour after I ordered it online, at my local Walmart store(Soddy Daisy ,TN). The Walmart employee was extremely helpful. He brought it from the back of the store to my truck, in the parking lot. He also helped me load it in my truck. The TV has a great picture and the sound is excellent.
Ive owned my vizio 37" 1080p TV for almost a year never had a problem with it till today half of the TV has small lines were theres no picture and the top you can still see the picture i forgot to buy the extended warranty but mine isn't up for another week thank god it happened now and not 3 weeks later there warranty department meet my expectations and there sending me a new TV after i send them mine with a option of adding a new extended warranty on the new TV. TV was great for the money but buy the extended warranty!!!!
This was our first venture into the world of LCD. The picture and sound quality are wonderful, especially the sound. The picture quality was so good, we were inspired to upgrade our cable service to HD. Being older folks, we especially appreciated how light weight and easy it was to install compared to our old television. This was definitely a great buy for the money, and I highly recommend it.
I've had this tv for a few years now & it is STILL AWESOME! Every feature still works great. Best tv i've ever owned. The volume increases on commercials and certain scenes in shows but it is being true to the sound provided so i can't fault Vizio on that. Picture quality is great but if you want the best out of it, you need HD from your satellite or cable provider. I put the channel on "Sunrise Earth" because it's like you are there. You can see crisp blades of grass, the bubbles of morning dew and every individual feather on a close up of a bird or animal. After years of quality, all my tv's are going to be Vizio.
Our first color TV was a 19" wide screen in a 200 pound box, with people who were congenitally green or orange. So really. When we all can buy TVs like this for $428, there should be no complaints. So what I say here is ridiculously relative. I happened to be in a position to compare this set at home to an LG 37" LCD #also sold by Walmart, so I hope they let me say that# that sells for about $100 more. I've had HD sets for 8 years, so HD by itself was not enough to "wow" me. And neither was the Vizio. It is a good value, for sure, and it had exemplary wide-angle viewing #better than the LG, and better than most LCDs I've seen#. But that was about it. Here's what the $100 bought me:
1. Better selection of inputs
2. A better made, swiveling base
3. More versatile video and audio controls
but mostly:
4. A better picture and
5. Better sound. I find it astounding that we can buy a TV like this for this kind of money, and if you're on a strict budget, the Vizio would work fine. But if you have the additional scratch, the LG is well worth the extra money. It is the difference between "that's a really nice picture" and "WOW, now THAT's a really nice picture!!" On good source material, the LG was superio in every way; black level, motion control, color saturation, detail, depth of field, etc. But most importantly, it was more engaging. Not many 37-inchers out there; becoming an "odd" size, apparently. But it fits our space perfectly without overwhelming the room #that a more standard 42-incher would do#, so if you're in the same situation, both of these are worth checking out. Really, the Vizio is very good...for the money.
It has turned out to be a fine product, but the
picture could be a little better. But then again it
could be my cable provider, but very happy with
my product.
I have ordered and returned six HDTVs over the past few months, with brands including Sceptre, Westinghouse, Dynex and Philips. I was looking for a quality 1080p picture, at least 37", and under $400. My eye for detail is a blessing as well as a curse, because none of the TVs satisfied my opinion of a quality picture until I got this Vizio. The actual set is a beautiful glossy black finish, with a glossy screen (not matte or flat like others I've seen). The picture is amazing on 1080p, watching Netflix, DVDs and playing games on my XBox360. The sound is fine.. it is on par with most other flatscreens. Purchase a $25 set of speakers if you are unhappy with it. The menu has a ton of functions: 10 or so picture presets, a sound equalizer, and other assorted goodies. Another good point is it only consumes about 80 watts of power during use, which is barely more than a lightbulb! Go with this Vizio or another in the E- series and you will not be disappointed!
While the picture on Walmart.com shows that this product has RCA ports, the one I received did not. After doing some research and returning 2 TV's, and finally buying the right one, this is what I found: If the box that the TV came in has a picture of a female reporter from ESPN it will have both RCA input and output. If it has a picture of a male runner then it will not have these. Both of the TV's have the same exact model number but they are not the same model. If RCA ports are important to you, make sure the 37" that you buy has the picture of the woman on it.
The first one I bought worked exceptionally well...for one month. I cut it off one morning before I left the house and it would not come back on. I took it back to Wal-Mart to exchange it for a new one of the same model. I took the new one home, hooked it up and watched it for a TOTAL of one hour before the picture started messing up. The color went crazy and the picture was flashing making it nearly impossible to see what was playing. I am very disappointed with this Vizio. Would not recommend it to anyone.
I have had this tv for almost 3 years and I love it!
I am really pleased with my purchase of a Vizio. It is the perfect size for our room. The picture quality is great. There is an issue with the volume coming and going. I had read about this issue but it certainly is not as bad as I had read. It doesn't happen a lot but every once in a while you hear it go quite and then comes back a few seconds later. Not a lot of "features" but that was not what I was looking for, I just wanted a good HDTV with a nice picture for less than $500 and that is excatly what I got.
After about a month I am very happy with the performance and features of this TV.
Picture is great, sound is also very good, (better than I thought is would be).
I like that starting with both off if I turn on my dvd player the TV automatically turns on
with the input on the dvd. All and all nice unit, I feel very good about the value for the money.
Would definitely recommend to others and would buy again.
I bought this tv for the price. After I got it home, about a week later it started buzzing. I checked out the Vizio website and discovered that this problem was common! Unacceptable for a television that cost over $400 and was only a week old. I took the tv back to Walmart and got a Samsung. Could not be more pleased!!! Ironically enough, there were people in line at customer service returning the same tv!
I bought this vizio 37 inch tv less than 30 days ago its already dead stuck on the splash screen already have to have a technican come fix it. I purchase on 12/29/2011
I purchased my Vizio 2 mths ago. I finally had my husband set it up over the weekend. The setup was very easy. The picture was GRRREEEATT!!! The sales rep was really talking this item up (that's what they're supposed to do to make a sale). But I was very satisfied with this item. I had previously received a Vizio blu-ray disc player. I can't wait to kick back this weekend to try it out. I'll be purchasing another Vizio for my guest room.
Cannot say loud enough how great a picture this television projects. And hooked up to hdtv system...WOW! Such precise color, sound quality, everything about this tv is worth every penny paid. A real must have.
Set up was super easy. Just attach TV to its stand (one screw), plug in the cord, turn the television on, and a Setup Wizard takes over. I don't yet have a HDMI or Componet cable yet (still working with the lower quality composite cable), and the picture clarity is still amazing. I got the warranty plan (just in case), and hope to never have to use it. Major thumbs up!


text: Guys, I have a problem I'm trying to solve for work (we're trying to inspect a hole, and I'm trying to determine its angle using a gage pin and a ball bearing). An image of the problem is attached. The known dimensions which we can measure are shown in black, and I am trying to solve for the angle, X. I can get a value for X by plugging this into my CAD software, but I need to know how to solve for X using hand calculations so that the machinists can do it during production. The value for X should come out to be approximately 22 degrees. The four known dimensions, as shown, are D, H, T, and R. The part is symmetrical, and the sides of the partial cone are tangent to the circle.

I am a sport psychology consultant living in London at the moment. I love life, travelling and meeting new people. I am really outgoing and I love visual art as well as music and good food. I cannot stand at wine, but I am a beer lover, although I do not need a drink to have a great time.
I have been told about airbnb by a friend and I loved the phylosophy so... I challenge myself and tryed it in USA: awesome experience. I used to do house swapping and some Couchsurfing, so I know how to be a guest.

In between those final two preseason games the Redskins must trim their roster to a maximum of 75 players. That round of cuts is due by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27. Cuts to bring the roster down to 53 are due on Saturday, August 31 at 6 p.m.
The Redskins returning to practice at their facility means that the team will not have any fans present during practice and the media can only watch stretching and some individual drills.

They didn't devote much of the episode to Munch, but what else is new? At least they left it open for him to make a guest appearance if Richard Belzer wants to. It was nice to see Munch's old
comrade Detective Meldrick Lewis (Clark Johnson) at his send off. I didn't like that they only credited him as 'party guest' instead of Meldrick Lewis.
I didn't watch the episode, but the "party guest" was probably so they didn't need to pay the writers of Homicide for using their character.
Based on what they did with Andre Braugher, maybe it wasn't Lewis at all, just someone who looks and sounds just like him.
"shall not be infringed" is naturally open to infringements of all kinds, because shut up and think of the children.

Comprehensive meta-analysis of Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) genomic binding patterns discerns cell-specific cis-regulatory modules
1 Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, 8 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD, 20892-0822, USA
2 National Department of Nanobiomedical Science and WCU Research Center of Nanobiomedical Science, Dankook University, Cheonan, Chungnam, 330-714, Republic of Korea
BMC Genomics 2013, 14:4 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-14-4Published: 16 January 2013
Cytokine-activated transcription factors from the STAT (Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription) family control common and context-specific genetic programs. It is not clear to what extent cell-specific features determine the binding capacity of seven STAT members and to what degree they share genetic targets. Molecular insight into the biology of STATs was gained from a meta-analysis of 29 available ChIP-seq data sets covering genome-wide occupancy of STATs 1, 3, 4, 5A, 5B and 6 in several cell types.
We determined that the genomic binding capacity of STATs is primarily defined by the cell type and to a lesser extent by individual family members. For example, the overlap of shared binding sites between STATs 3 and 5 in T cells is greater than that between STAT5 in T cells and non-T cells. Even for the top 1,000 highly enriched STAT binding sites, ~15% of STAT5 binding sites in mouse female liver are shared by other STATs in different cell types while in T cells ~90% of STAT5 binding sites are co-occupied by STAT3, STAT4 and STAT6. In addition, we identified 116 cis-regulatory modules (CRM), which are recognized by all STAT members across cell types defining a common JAK-STAT signature. Lastly, in liver STAT5 binding significantly coincides with binding of the cell-specific transcription factors HNF4A, FOXA1 and FOXA2 and is associated with cell-type specific gene transcription.
Our results suggest that genomic binding of STATs is primarily determined by the cell type and further specificity is achieved in part by juxtaposed binding of cell-specific transcription factors.

Just based on my reading if the info put up by both websites, I suspect Honest Company will win, since it sounds like they filed first, but I'm certainly no expert.
And I love The Honest Toddler, I've never bought a single Honest Company product.
I had not heard of this but went out seaching for it. I agree with the Honest Toddler site owner, what does one have to do with the other? I guess it will all boil down to who filed the papers first for the legal name.
from everything i've read, HT should be able to keep the trademark. she registered it first, and it seems like THC is shoving its weight (and money) around to try and sabotage her trademark.
Bunmi Laditan (the creator of Honest Toddler) wrote up a really nice description of the timeline and fact vs myth:
also, if you're in support of Honest Toddler, there's a petition you might like to sign (and maybe even share too!)
hope this all helps clarify--it's def a complex issue.

Beauty and the Brains
Here is the Particle Physicist when he was young and a musician in D:Ream's band. Things only got better.
I am such a child of the eighties. Quiet in the galleries, if you please. What beautiful eyes. What luscious lips. How I would like to see his lips....ok, enough.
Brian Cox is no longer a lust object of prepubescent teens, but he is one of mine. His lips now seem even fuller, but what I really like about him is that when he talks, he smiles. He seems to never stop smiling. He comes across as being the nicest bloke and explains things to the less educated, like moi, in an easy manner, always smiling but never condescending.

Apple has filed a patent featuring some concepts for scrollable menus and toolbars that could eventually be used in the next version of OS X, 10.7 Lion. The new patent covers all kinds of things, from extra UI elements in the OS X desktop to special iOS menus and features. But they all look like what you see above -- an almost Cover Flow-like scrollable interface that boils down a series of functions or menus into a set of icons.
I like it -- while the drawback seems to be that you'd have to really know what's available in the menu and where to find it (because you only see one icon at a time, you'll basically have to just get used to knowing what the other options are), the menu seems like a great way to put a lot of functionality easily reachable in a very small space. There are a few different "menu shapes" to help with this, too, from just one icon rotating to the foreground, to an entire wheel of icons all with different features or choices on them.
As with all Apple patents, we'll note that these are strictly concepts, and there's no guarantee that a feature like this will actually show up in OS X. But it's good to see that Apple is still playing around with even very traditional UI interfaces like menus. Always nice to see innovation even in the growing-ever-older desktop space.

text: I actually tried this technique a number of years ago, when it occurred to me. Someone gave me an old print and wanted a platinum print. I copied the print to 4 x 5 using polarized light, etc, and made an 8 x 10 print on RC. I then contacted that onto lith film, developed in D-76. It worked, but the negative quality is not quite what you would get direct from film. But I do not mean to discourage you from using it. I have also tried the usual method of making a film positive and then a negative, which is a LOT of work. In addition I've tried getting my film processed by DR5 into positives and then just projecting them onto Plus X. That worked very well, but, forgive me for saying so, but I'm getting great quality from inkjet negatives and while this involves some digital technology, I see it as digital in the service of analogue.
