Through this work, NIJ advances research and development of public safety technologies that will assist state and local public safety entities in their prevention of and response to critical incidents. CIMS, the software found in emergency management operations centers, supports the management of crisis information and the corresponding response by public safety agencies. The Test Bed Project was established to assist responders in comparing commercially available software. The outcome of the project is presented in this report and includes the project background, general findings and implications for the selection of an appropriate product, a description of how the feature comparisons were conducted, CIMS candidate product information, and a feature comparison matrix.
Confronting Catastrophe: A GIS Handbook. R.W. Greene. 2002. 160 pp. $14.95. To order the book, contact ESRI Press by calling (800) 447-9778 or by visiting their web site: http://www.esri.com/shop.
Geographic information system (GIS) technology is a practical tool that every community can use to plan for, respond to, and recover from major disasters, whether they are natural events such as hurricanes or human-caused incidents such as terrorist attacks. By giving responders and disaster managers a way to visually analyze each stage of a disaster and synthesize complex information sets, GIS permits swifter decision-making and clearer communication. Confronting Catastrophe guides readers through five stages of hazards management—identification and planning, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery—and demonstrates how GIS can be incorporated into each.
Responding to the Unexpected: Report of the Workshop Held in New York City February 2-March 1, 2002. Yigal Arens and Paul Rosenbloom, editors. 2002. 69 pp. Free. The on-line report is available at http://www.isi.edu/crue/.

Responding to unexpected events, whether natural or human-caused, is the great challenge facing the United States, as evidenced during the terrorist attacks of September 11. With National Science Foundation support, USC/ISI convened a workshop that focused on new developments in information technology (IT), engineering, and social science and the creation of highly effective virtual organizations that can respond immediately to a disaster. The workshop brought a small group of leading researchers from across academic disciplines together with representatives of agencies and organizations that are intimately involved in crisis response. The goals of the workshop were to begin understanding and developing the new technical, social, and policy requirements for responding to unexpected events, and to do so in a manner that will transform our society into one that is more resilient and secure.

Homeland Security
A Governor's Guide to Emergency Management—Volume Two: Homeland Security. 2002. 137 pp. Free. The guide can be downloaded from www.nga.org/cda/files/GOVSGUIDEHS2.pdf. Information about this report can be obtained from the National Governors' Association (NGA), Publications, P.O. Box 421, Annapolis Junction, MD 20701; (301) 498-3738; fax: (301) 206-9789; e-mail: email@example.com; http://www.nga.org.
The past year has demonstrated that homeland security is a complex challenge that demands significant investment and collaboration among local, state, and federal governments as well as integration with the private sector. The National Governors' Association's (NGA) Center for Best Practices recently released this volume as a reference document for state and territorial governors to assist them in facing the challenges of homeland security. In addition to outlining state-focused homeland security information, policies, and procedures, the guide addresses state structure and how to set up a homeland security team, including the development of state plans, emergency powers of the governor, role of the National Guard, how to establish continuity of operations and alert systems, and how to communicate with the public during a crisis. It also discusses potential terrorist threats—biological, agricultural, chemical, nuclear, radiological, and cyber. Chapters provide governors with detailed background information and checklists for each of these potential threats, identify federal resources and model response plans, and discuss how to prepare responses to these threats.
"Measuring the Effects of the September 11 Attack on New York City." Jason Bram, James Orr, and Carol Rapaport. Economic Policy Review, Vol. 8, No. 2 (November 2002). The article can be viewed on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York web site: http://www.newyorkfed.org/rmaghome/econ_pol/2002/1102rapa.html.
This article measures the short-term economic effects of the events of September 2001 on New York City's labor force and capital stock through June 2002, the end of the recovery process at the World Trade Center site. Using a lifetime-earnings loss concept, the authors estimate that the nearly 3,000 workers killed in the attack lost $7.8 billion in prospective income. Moreover, the employment impact in key affected sectors—such as finance, air transportation, hotels, and restaurants—translated into an estimated earnings shortfall of $3.6 billion to $6.4 billion, while the cost of repairing and replacing the damaged physical capital stock and infrastructure totaled an estimated $21.6 billion. Accordingly, the authors determine that the total attack-related cost to New York City during this period was between $33 and $36 billion. The article also examines the attack's effects on the city's most economically vulnerable residents and analyzes survey findings on the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol and drug use after September 11.
Beyond the Beltway: Focusing on Hometown Security. Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness (ESDP), John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. 2002. 55 pp. Free. The report can be downloaded from http://ksgnotes1.harvard.edu/BCSIA/Library.nsf/pubs/ESDPMemorial.
Beyond the Beltway examines local planning and preparation for terrorist attacks, based on the premise that domestic preparedness requires action and emergency planning focused in hometowns, not solely Washington, D.C. It focuses on the most urgent local and state needs and offers a blueprint for addressing them. It contains recommendations for areas often overlooked by local responders, such as off-duty commitments of responders, involvement of mental health providers, working with public health officials, relying on neighborhood police officers, engaging hometown businesses, working with a regional focus, using the National Guard, educating members of the media, and ensuring an all-hazards preparedness approach.
Bioterrorism: A Guide for Community Leaders and First Responders. 2002. 34 pp. Free. Copies can be downloaded from the Washington National Guard web site: http://22.214.171.124/Documents/bio%20%terrorism%20handbook.pdf.
The School of Public Health at New York Medical College prepared this report for the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The report discusses local plans and resources, data collection, coalition building, strategic planning, disaster-resistant communities, communication, frequently asked questions, and public health activities and lists numerous web sites for further information.

Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and the Future. Mark Maslin. 2002. 72 pp. $16.95. To obtain a copy, contact Voyageur Press, World Life Library Series, 123 North 2nd Street, Stillwater, MN 55082; (800) 888-9653; fax: (651) 430-2211; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com; http://www.voyageurpress.com//5875.htm.
Global warming is caused by the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, put into the atmosphere. Burning fossil fuel has already elevated the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide to its highest level in 20 million years. The most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) leaves us with little doubt that the scientific uncertainties of global warming are essentially resolved. This book explains what global warming is, presents the evidence that it is really happening, and examines the devastating effects global warming will have on human society, including drastic changes in health, agriculture, water resources, coastal regions, storms, forests, and wildlife.
Killer 'Cane: The Deadly Hurricane of 1928. Robert Mykle. 2002. 320 pp. $26.95. To order a copy, contact Cooper Square Press; (800) 462-6420 or (717) 794-3800; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com; http://www.coopersquarepress.com.
On the night of September 16, 1928, a hurricane swung up from Puerto Rico and collided unexpectedly with the Florida Everglades region. The powerful winds from the storm burst a dike and sent a 20-foot wall of water through three towns, killing over 2,000 people, a third of the area's population. The author describes how residents believed prior to the storm that they had tamed nature, how racial attitudes compounded the disaster, and how the difficult cleanup in the storm's aftermath caused severe psychological distress. Killer 'Cane describes one of the greatest natural disasters in the U.S. and places it in context with the financial collapse of the Florida real estate markets and the onset of the Great Depression.
Hurricane! Coping with Disaster. Robert Simpson, editor. 2003. 360 pp. Non-member, $39.00; American Geophysical Union Member (AGU), $27.30. To obtain a copy, contact AGU, 2000 Florida Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20009-1277; (202) 462-6900; fax: (202) 328-0566 http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/agubookstore.
Hurricane research implies something more than science: it is also the key to saving lives and mitigating economic damage. From the Galveston catastrophe of 1900, where more than 8,000 people died, to the economic devastation wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, scientists have striven to understand and track hurricanes while charting their societal effects. Hurricane! Coping with Disaster tells the dramatic history of that effort by leading meteorologists those who brought hurricane science into the 21st century and who sustain it today. The book includes sections on understanding and tracking hurricanes, their societal and economic challenges, and the potential impact of science and technology in both the present and future.
"Hurricane Georges: A Cross-National Study Examining Preparedness, Resource Loss, and Psychological Distress in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and the United States," David N. Sattler, Andrew J. Preston, Charles F. Kaiser, Vivian E. Olivera, Juan Valdez, and Shannon Schlueter. Journal of Traumatic Stress, Vol. 15, No. 5 (October 2002). Subscription/ information available from Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers; contact Sharon Panulla, 233 Spring Street, New York, NY 10013-1578; (212) 620-8000; fax: (212) 463-0742; http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0894-9867/contents.
This cross-national study examines preparation for and psychological functioning following Hurricane Georges in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and the United States. Four to five weeks after the storm made landfall, 697 college students completed a questionnaire assessing a variety of characteristics to determine symptoms associated with acute stress disorder. Location, resource loss, and social support accounted for a significant portion of study variance.

A few years ago my company did some work for the city and mayor of Barcelona, Spain, developing innovative Internet and new technology strategies.
Both the city and the mayor were wonderful. I thought about them today when I read an article in my local newspaper about plastics in the ocean globally – and in Charleston.
The myth that is Hillary Clinton defies explanation other than she is the elite candidate of the elites, who can see no fault in her primarily because they refuse to see the truth.
Her record is one of mediocre performance and massive failure, and yet her supporters see only that she is just what America needs.
I confidently recommend Dr. Paul McKenzie for mayor of Lancaster. Since relocating to Lancaster, Paul has served our community on numerous boards in support of a wide range of health, safety, education and social service initiatives. I can think of no one who has been more involved in seeking to improve the lives of his fellow citizens.
Dr. McKenzie's education and experience make him uniquely qualified to lead Lancaster. If you want to see honest people lead our city, please join me in supporting him.
Alfred Ferguson
Our city is facing a number of future challenges including crime, aging infrastructure and the Environmental Protection Agency mandate to address the wastewater collection system, all of which represent significant financial challenges to our city council.
I am reminded of a story about Capt. William Swenson, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on Sept. 8, 2009.
On that day, American and Afghan troops were making their way through a part of Afghanistan to help protect a group of government/Afghan officials, who would be meeting with local village elders. They came under ambush, and were surrounded on three sides.
I had more fun responding to inquiries about S.C. Rep. Mike Pitts' journalist-registration bill than I have had answering questions about any other proposed restrictions on the press.
A client called and asked what the response to the bill should be. I responded, "laughter."
Unfortunately, many news organizations groaned and harrumphed like the sea lions on the beach in front of William Randolph Hearst's castle in California. A reaction I suspect Pitts desired.
Webster describes integrity as "soundness of moral character."
A person with integrity knows what is important and consistently lives in light of what is important to him and those around him. I've tried living by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most powerful speech ever.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Each February, our nation takes time to recognize the contributions of African Americans to our great country.
Black History Month allows each of us an opportunity to learn the stories of so many African Americans who sacrificed so much to contribute to that history – our shared history. From slavery to freedom, and from segregation to full integration, and now from access to success in every part of our society, it is vital that people hear that beauty and that struggle.

Blue Serenity II by pogona2009Watch
©2011-2016 pogona2009
this is a remake of my first piece blue serenity, let me know which version you like more and what you think about this piece.
Nice flow. Excellent render.
Its like space underwater...I love it! The lightning is absolutely perfect on the large planet\
Beautiful! This has a very nice scene of emotion to it!
Stunning,very peaceful
Absolutely great! Probably the best space-pic I have seen the entire week
I'm very grateful, coming from such an artist.
By the way, the red-green-yellow colors that complement the blue background come from a layer effect (one of the last ones now I can't remember)

Wow awesome man! I like it... Keep it up...
Impresionante! Me encanta la luz y los colores suaves del fondo. Por los tonos podría parecer una imagen fria, pero yo la encuentro calida y pacifica. Aunque toda tu galeria es muy buena, este es mi preferido!
I really love this. The colours are gorgeous, and the atmosphere of the picture does feel very serene. Great work!
I actually find the lack of detail perfect and calming. Too many sharp bits in a scene of this magnitude tend to make me fret and try to look at each and every detail, and I end up getting lost in them and not enjoying the whole picture at all. This certainly gives me that feeling of distance, floating and incoherent attention. ♥
in fact the blur of the background was made on purpose to give more depth to the picture
nice lighting. could be more detailed.

As expected, veteran center Scott Gomez of Anchorage is making his San Jose Sharks debut as this is written, playing in today's matinee against the Colorado Avalanche at HP Pavilion in California.
Looks like he's playing on a line with Adam Burish and Andrew Desjardins. (UPDATE: In a 4-0 Sharks win, Gomez logged 15:03 of ice time -- including 5:06 of power-play duty -- and was +1 with three shots on goal. He won five of 10 draws. Patrick Marleau scored two goals for the fourth consecutive game to start the season. He's seriously out of control).
And speaking of cats from Airport Heights, like Gomez, it's my boy Josh Niva's 40th. Big party tonight, so I expect he'll be dancing the night away with a full Yakupov.

Nothing happens after activating plugin in WordPress 4.4
Works well. Does what it says.
Easy to install and activate. After that it shows your PHP and MySQL version, which is helpful when your blog falls ill.
No access to server, so this was ideal for finding mysql version. Thank you.
Just click to install, click to activate, shows you what version of PHP/MySQL wordpress detects (which is important, because I already knew what I had activated; I just wanted to make sure WordPress was detecting the upgrade).
Thanks so much, WordPress Community!

The city soon will be installing 60 pay-by-space parking meters that will make it a little easier on people looking for a spot.
Instead of walking to a pay-to-display machine, getting a printed receipt and walking back to put in on your dashboard, the new system lets drivers read a number painted at the curb. They punch that number into the machine and pay for the time they want. It will provide a printed receipt, but drivers won't be required to walk back to the car to display it.

City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney has advised City Council that if the Chatham-Savannah Authority cannot pay its insurance costs or develop a payment plan, the city should terminate the coverage offered to the authority's 23 employees.
Her recommendation comes because the authority is more than $140,000 behind in paying insurance premiums for most of 2011 and the first quarter of this year.
Authority leaders say they went to the city several weeks ago asking for help, partly because a federal program that would have provided $120,000 this year was po

More than 200 Home Depot volunteers from around the country descended on Savannah on Tuesday, paint rollers in hand and big smiles on their faces.
Mayor Edna Jackson took a measure of satisfaction in that effort. It was another result of her ability to reach out and connect with people. More than four years ago, she connected with KaBOOM!, a nonprofit that provides playground equipment at no cost to communities. That led to KaBOOM! installing playground equipment here.

One of the side debates as the city of Savannah and the Chatham- Savannah Authority for the Homeless negotiate over spending choices and leadership is about festivals.
The city spends more on the annual Asian Festival than it does the homeless, the authority's executive director, Mark Baggett has challenged.
That's not quite the case. The city's 2012 budget allocated $40,000 to the Asian Festival. Other festivals, though, got almost an equal match to the $133,000 in city funds given to the authority.

Is Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson's call for unity spreading to the Middle East?
Highly unlikely, but Savannah City Council members had a little light-hearted fun with the international headlines coming out of Israel on Tuesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Opposition Leader Shaul Mofaz will unite to create one of the largest coalition governments in their country's history.
The stunning news came three days after Mayor Edna Jackson arrived in Israeli for a 10-day tour, a visit that includes visiting four cities and a group meeting with Netanyahu.

The city of Savannah isn't the only municipality facing lawsuits and multi-million-dollar payouts after residents have been killed and maimed from falling tree limbs.
The New York Times on Monday began the first of a three-day series about the risk and the debate about how far the city's liability extends when aintaining trees in public areas.
Followers of local government will recall that in November, attorney Howard Spiva brought 29-year-old Shanta Green before council. He sought a settlement.

Step into the main lobby at Savannah-Chatham metro police barracks these days, and you'll get to glance back into some interesting history.
Now that the department's headquarters at Oglethorpe and Habersham got most of its leaky roof fixed, some of the officers are working hard to share memorabilia from the past.
Officer Gena Sullivan, the department's spokeswoman, grew up in Albany and remembered the police department there has a police collection to showcase its work.
"It's been an idea for awhile," she said.

The city of Savannah on June 20 closed on the vacant lot on the corner of Oglethorpe Avenue and Habersham Street.
The intended purpose: To build the Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Department a new, state-of-the-art headquarters.
Look for city crews as early as next week to begin mowing and making other short-term improvements to the lot.
The city dipped into its general fund to pay the $3 million for the lot, which signals just how serious officials are about showing progress in projects the 2006 SPLOST was supposed to fund.

Born in New York City where she still lives, Maria Terrone is the author of the poetry collections Eye to Eye (2014), A Secret Room in Fall (2006) and The Bodies We Were Loaned (2002), as well as a chapbook, American Gothic, Take 2 (2009). Her poetry ranges widely in subject, drawing inspiration from modern urban life, history, migration, and memory.
Writes Dana Gioia about Eye to Eye: "Maria Terrone's poems are simultaneously sensuous and spiritual, earthy and intellectual. Her imagination takes fire from contradiction and complexity. One small image—washing a potato or rearranging a lingerie drawer—can open up vistas of private desire or public history. Her poetry explores the contingencies of time and eternity." Reviewing Eye to Eye for The Common, Sarah Wetzel noted, "Terrone sees the world in all its blemished and brutal multiplicities."
Her work, which has been published in French and Farsi, has appeared in magazines such as The Hudson Review, Ploughshares, Poetry, Poetry International, Notre Dame Review, and Crab Orchard Review. More than 20 anthologies have included her poems, including Killer Verse: Poems of Murder and Mayhem, Alfred A. Knopf Everyman's Library; Waiting Room Reader, Vol. II: Words to Keep You Company, CavanKerry Press, edited by Rachel Hadas; and anthologies from Beacon Press, The Feminist Press, and University of Notre Dame Press, among others.
Honors include the McGovern Award from Ashland Poetry Press, which led to the publication of A Secret Room in Fall; the Willow Review Award for Poetry; the Elinor Benedict Poetry Prize from Passages North; and the Allen Tate Memorial Award from Wind, as well as an Individual Artist Award from the Queens Council on the Arts.
Terrone, who also writes and publishes essays, was among 10 writers commissioned by The Guggenheim Museum for the Queens version of stillspotting nyc. This multidisciplinary project in 2012 took the museum's programming out into the streets of the city's five boroughs.
Terrone works as a higher education communications consultant. She lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, with her husband, William Terrone.

Extend internet connectivity into hard-to-reach places without slowing to a crawl.
UpdatedPowerline networking is a technology that's capable of transforming an in-house mains power circuit into a home networking infrastructure.
Netgear has an extensive range of Powerline products with lowly speeds of 14Mbps at the low end and 200Mbps HomePlug AV at the top end. You can extend the Powerline network with Netgear adapters that sport 802.11g wireless, so Netgear's choice for this review was very interesting
The strange name of the Solwise PL-200AV-PIGGY adapter makes more sense once you unpack the box. Each adapter is rather tall at 123mm and is also relatively deep at 71mm because it carries a female three-pin mains power socket piggy-back style.
The new Edimax HP-2001AV 200Mbps PowerLine Ethernet is the company's first HomePlug AV product and has a maximum speed of 200Mbps. In our testing the Edimax kit was fully compatible with the Solwise PL-200AV-PIGGY, which supports the same HomePlug AV standard.

Characteristics of germanium resistance thermometers from 1 to 35 K and the ISU magnetic temperature scale49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135517View Description Hide Description
A low‐temperature comparator cryostat with a self‐balancing ac resistance bridge and a data acquisition system have been used over the past several years to calibrate approximately 45 germanium resistance thermometers, many of them several times. Examples are given of typical thermometer reproducibility results, together with algorithms for estimating self‐heating and ac–dc resistance differences for these thermometers. Recent experiences with rhodium–iron resistance thermometry are described in terms of a comparison of previous ISU magnetic thermometry with gas thermometry results from the National Physical Laboratory in England.
Balloon‐borne photoionization mass spectrometer for measurement of stratospheric gases49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135518View Description Hide Description
A balloon‐borne photoionizationmass spectrometer used to measurestratospherictrace gases is described. Ions are created with photons from high‐intensity krypton discharge lamps and a quadrupole mass analyzer is employed for ion identification. Differential pumping is achieved with liquid helium cryopumping. To insure measurement of unperturbed stratospheric air, the entire system is contained in a sealed gondola and the atmospheric sample is taken some distance away during descent. The photoionization technique allows the detection of a low ionization potential constituent, such as nitric oxide, at less than a part in 109 in the presence of the major atmospheric gases and their isotopes. Operation of the mass spectrometer system was demonstrated during a daytime flight from Palestine, Texas on 26 April 1977. The sensitivity achieved and the unique selectivity afforded by this technique offer a capability for trace constituent measurement not possible with the more conventional electron impact ionization approach.
Further stability studies on germanium resistance thermometers at 20 K49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135519View Description Hide Description
Thirty germanium resistance thermometers from three manufacturers have been thermally cycled 90 times between 20 and 300 K. Detailed results are presented on the stability of the thermometers at 20 K.
High‐level noise source for the calibration of Johnson noise power thermometers49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135520View Description Hide Description
A new high‐level noise source was developed specifically for the calibration of Johnson noise power thermometers (JNPT), but it is useful in other applications requiring a stable, wideband, well‐defined noise power spectral density. The design concept for the noise source is based on the fact that the open‐circuit thermal noise voltage of a feedback resistor, connecting the output to the input of an inverting amplifier, is available at the amplifier output from an equivalent low output impedance caused by the feedback mechanism. The noise power spectral density level at the noise source output is equivalent to the density of the open‐circuit thermal noise of a 100‐Ω resistor at a temperature of about 64 000 K. The noise source has an output power spectral density that is flat to within 0.1% (0.0043 dB) in the frequency range 1–150 kHz which brackets typical passbands of the signal‐processing channels of JNPTs. The noise source was evaluated by comparing its output noise power with the thermal noise power generated by a platinumresistor of known ohmic value at the temperature of the aluminum freezing point (933.52 K). The measured noise power was within 0.06% of the value computed from the fundamental thermal noise equation of Nyquist. The power spectral density varies less than 0.03% for ambient temperature fluctuations in the range 15°–35°C.
Multiwire proportional chamber system of the Fermilab single arm spectrometer49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135521View Description Hide Description
We describe a system of two groups of multiwire proportional chambers and its special purpose interface used in the Single Arm Spectrometer (SAS) facility at Fermilab. The first set measures the coordinates of the fast particle going into the spectrometer arm with a space resolution down to ±0.5 mm. The second set, close to the target, measures the multiplicity and angular distributions of charged particles coming from the interaction. The chambers of this set have three sensitive planes with wires at 120° in the same gas volume to measure three coordinates for each physical point, two readout channels per wire to minimize the inefficiency due to the very high flux and insensitive regions at the center of the chambers where they are crossed by the beam.
Viscosity measurements in the diamond anvil pressure cell49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135514View Description Hide Description
The viscosity of liquids can be measured in the diamond‐anvil pressure cell utilizing a falling‐solid sphere method and the ruby technique for pressure measurement. The pressure dependence of the viscosity of a 4:1 mixture (by volume) of methanol–ethanol was determined to 70 kilobars. The accuracy of the method is estimated from measurements made on a fluid of known viscosity.
Some new aspects of an alternating current demagnetization apparatus49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135515View Description Hide Description
A combined mechanical–electronic system for a smooth linear control of the demagnetizing field is described. Actual demagnetizing curves obtained for some igneous rocks are given to illustrate good functioning of the apparatus in paleomagnetic research.
Base‐line suppression in microwave spectroscopy using frequency modulation and harmonic detection49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135516View Description Hide Description
In a microwave spectrometer, systematic variations of the rf source amplitude with frequency can cause a spurious signal (base line) which severely limits the attainable sensitivity. Normally, the base line is eliminated by using Stark or Zeeman modulation. However, these modulation methods cannot be used in an experiment on nonparamagnetic molecular ions contained in a glow discharge. This paper discusses a technique which we have used to reduce the base line by a factor of about 10−5 and which can be used to study the spectra of species contained in a glow discharge. The scheme uses wideband sinusoidal frequency modulation of the microwave source combined with synchronous detection at the nth harmonic of the modulation frequency. The system produces a signal proportional to the nth derivative with respect to frequency of the base line. However, the signal due to an absorption line is only slightly smaller than that produced by other modulation methods. The system may be considered to behave like a high‐pass filter which discriminates against features that vary slowly with frequency.
Description and characteristics of a ''wave follower'' system for energy exchange studies in the vicinity of an air–water interface49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135522View Description Hide Description
This paper describes the design, construction, and testing of an electromechanical servomechanism capable of responding to the vertical displacements of a wavy air–water interface. The device is to be used to maintain various probes at a fixed distance above or below the moving interface in a large wind‐wave tank. The measurements so obtained will help to elucidate the mechanisms of mass, momentum, and energy transfer between air and water in the presence of waves. The dynamical characteristics of the wave follower are given. For frequencies below 9 Hz, it possesses a linear reponse characterized below 5 Hz by a 7.4 ms time lag. This is the sum of two time lags, 4.9 and 2.5 ms, which correspond, respectively, to the servomechanism itself and to the capacitance‐type wave height measurement system. The maximum position error is found to be ±2 mm for typical wave amplification by wind studies (maximum wave height of about 6 cm).
Inverse‐fourth apparatus for photometric calibrations49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135523View Description Hide Description
A new photometric device is described which can perform direct, as opposed to comparison, measurements of optical transmittance, without bootstrapping, over a range of nearly six orders of magnitude. According to the demonstrated principle of operation, the amount of light flux received at a detector is proportional to the inverse‐fourth power of the effective source‐to‐detector distance. As the device is configured, the adjacent source and detector are stationary while a flexible light guide, which collects light from the source and re‐emits it toward the detector, moves on a carriage. The transmittance, T, of a filter is measured in terms of the ratio of carriage positions, for constant detector output, with and without the filter in the light path; the optical density is then D=−logT. The position of the carriage, relative to the source‐detector plane, is measured over the 3 m range of travel with a resolution of 0.01 mm. Operated with a 1000 W tungsten‐halogen lamp as a source, a photomultiplier as a detector, and either an integrating sphere or opal glass for diffuse collection at the detection plane, the system is designed to attain an overall accuracy of ±0.5% for ANSI PH2.19 diffuse transmission densities up to 6.0 density units, corresponding to ±0.1% for transmittances above 0.5000 transmittance units and to ±3% for transmittances between 0.000001 and 0.0001 transmittance units.
Optical probe for local void fraction and interface velocity measurements49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135524View Description Hide Description
In view of the importance of obtaining unsteady local void fraction and interface velocities in liquid–vapor two‐phase flows, an optical probe with a controlled tip geometry was developed and is described. In order to minimize the disturbances caused to the flow field by the presence of the probe, its dimensions have been miniaturized. The electronic and hydrodynamic responses of the probe were investigated experimentally. The probe was found to be sensitive to both the interface velocities and the phase present at the probe tip. A possible explanation for the behavior of the probe is presented. Within the velocity range checked and with proper calibration, the optical probe described can be used to determine both local void fractions and interface velocities.
ENDOR cavity for electron spin echo experiments49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135525View Description Hide Description
A microwavecavity is described for performing ENDORmeasurements in conjunction with electron spin echo experiments. The frequency of the cavity is ≃9.4 GHz and the Q value ≃80. Both of these parameters can be changed by making small alterations in the design. The radio‐frequency magnetic field is confined to a small volume in order to minimize inductance and maximize the field strength obtainable for a given current. Direct measurements show the field in the sample to be ≃11 G/A of coil current in a typical case. This corresponds to a field ≃8 G in the rotating frame per ampere of coil current.
Thermal sensitive paper as a diagnostic for intense relativistic electron beam dynamics49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135526View Description Hide Description
Thermal sensitive paper has been used as a diagnostic for an intense relativistic electron beam propagating in a rippled magnetic field. The E r ×B z rotation of the beam has been measured from the exposed pattern on the thermal paper and used to calculate the electrostatic field of the beamE r , and the corresponding values of electron density and beam current. Exposed strips of thermal paper show longitudinal modulation of the radial electron velocity with a period corresponding to that of a rippled magnetic field; modulation of the radial electron velocity at the cyclotron frequency has also been observed.
Sensitivity enhancement in ESR/ENDOR spectrometers by use of microwave amplifiers49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135527View Description Hide Description
The introduction of a low‐noise microwave preamplifier in a homodyneESRspectrometer can increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio by more than a factor of 10 at low modulation frequencies, and makes it superior to a superheterodyne spectrometer. The performance of this new arrangement has been compared to that of a normal homodynespectrometer.
Bandpass (bandstop) digital filter design routine49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135528View Description Hide Description
As a complement to the design methods for low pass digital filters previously published [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 48, 1447 (1977)], we present a description of a bandpass (or bandstop) digital filter design program, a demonstration of its use, and the fortran code.
High‐pressure–low‐temperature x‐ray power diffractometer49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135529View Description Hide Description
A high‐pressure technique for x‐ray diffraction studies at low temperatures is described. The system consists of a Bridgman anvil type high‐pressure device with either tungstencarbide or boroncarbide anvils, a liquid He cryostat, and x‐ray diffractometer operating in Debye–Scherrer geometry. The newly developed boroncarbide anvil cell is capable of containing a liquid pressure transmitting medium. The precision of the lattice parameter determination is discussed and the effect of nonisostatic stress components on the diffraction pattern is examined.
Design and construction of a temperature wave generator49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135530View Description Hide Description
A sinusoidal temperature wave generator has been developed and constructed. It consists of a cold plate, a heating coil, and an electronic feedback control with a thermocouple sensor. The design criteria, heating and cooling calculations, and electronic and mechanical construction details are presented and described. Results are shown, and possible modifications are discussed.
Senftleben–Beenakker thermal conductivity effect apparatus49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135531View Description Hide Description
An apparatus for measuring the influence of magnetic fields on the thermal conductivity of gases, the Senftleben–Beenakker effect, is described. Conventional ''cold finger type'' cooling with appropriate cryogenic fluids is utilized with a helium exchange gas chamber to establish the general temperature level of the cell holder. Automatic temperature control of the trim heater maintains the desired temperature to ±10−3 °C in the 77–300 K range. A concentric cylinder cell adaptable for use with either conventional electromagnet or superconducting solenoid is described. The use of thin Mylar polyester film end seals minimizes cell ''end effect'' corrections and provides a resolution of 5×10−6 in gas thermal conductivity.
Metastable transfer emission spectroscopy—method and instrument for detection and measurement of trace materials in gas flows49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135532View Description Hide Description
A simple and relatively inexpensive new technique for qualitatively and quantitatively measuring various gas‐phase species in a flow and the apparatus for implementation are described. Detection of atomic species has been demonstrated from concentrations greater than 1010 atoms/cm3 to approximately 104 atoms/cm3. Several classes of molecules can also be detected quatitatively with the method, although with somewhat reduced sensitivity. The method, metastable transfer emission spectroscopy(MTES), is particularly useful in materials analysis. Possible applications including the analysis of gas, liquid, and solid samples and the determination of vapor‐pressure curves are discussed.
Pulse mode saturation properties of photomultiplier tubes49(1978); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1135533View Description Hide Description
The response of an RCA‐4522 photomultiplier tube (35ET bialkali photocathode, 14 dynode stages) in the saturation region has been studied as a function of ambient background light intensity, photocathodeillumination area, magnetic field orientation, and ambient temperature. These studies were made using various high‐speed pulsed light sources. It is found that the phototube's response does vary with some of these parameters (in particular, photocathode temperature effects). However, its response is reproducible and highly successful operation in this region is possible through a series of calibrations.

Thanks for helping!
This restaurant has changed hands since my first review, food and service now very good, seating like an old fashon dimer, think you could feel comfortable tanking the children there
There was 6 in my party - 4 adults and 2 children. We stopped in around 6:30pm on a Saturday evening for supper. There was only 1 server on. We had heard many good things about the Perth Restaurant and in the end we were all really disappointed.
I had to go up to the counter to get menus for...
Great breakfast. Exceptional service. Great Value. Very unassuming in appearance but you will enjoy the food. Portions are for the very hungry and done to perfection.
We stopped in for lunch during a quick family visit to Perth and were delightfully surprised at the quality of the food.
A simple diner atmosphere that lets you focus on conversation and eating.
We came with our two teens, both of which cleaned their plates.... and so did we. :)
Gave it another try on the evening of the Santa Claus parade. Staff was very accomodating, which is something new. Food was more or less the same - good but not great. Price was reasonable for portion size. A good stand-by place for a quick meal.
It was a nice restaurant with good size portions. It was close to where we were staying and the service was excellent.
Slightly run down, with every meal imaginable on the menu. Food was ok and well priced, but hard to go wrong with the old reliables, such as club sandwiches and chicken fingers. Seems to be on its last legs. Wait staff were nice, but sort of rough around the edges.
Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and smartly dressed (with kilts!). Food was yummy-licious. My visitors from Canada were pleased with the food and Scottish pub experience. Thanks!
Had pizza and Salad/ The pizza was really tasty/ Loved the sauce and the cheesiness which also had unique and wonderfully tasting Italian seasoning/ Will definitely go back/family friendly
Nothing wrong with food or service. Actual restaurant is getting tired. The booth I sat in felt like sitting on a bed of nails. Time to renovate!

Biography CLOSE THE FULL BIOGRAPHY
Over the last two decades, this charismatic Austrian bodybuilder has become one of the world's leading box-office attractions, married into one of America's foremost families and built a thriving business and real estate empire. Schwarzenegger played forgettable roles in several 1970s movies, first gaining attention as the subject of George Butler's fine documentary, "Pumping Iron" (1976). He earned a Golden Globe Award as Most Promising Male Newcomer for his role in Bob Rafelson's "Stay Hungry" (1977) and starred in two sword-and-sorcery sagas, "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) and "Conan the Destroyer" (1984), each of which grossed over $100 million worldwide. Schwarzenegger's screen persona--a physique that strains the imagination combined with a thick Austrian accent--received a major credibility boost with "The Terminator" (1984), which cast him as an alien Ubermensch and established his trademark, automaton-like delivery of minimal lines such as "I'll be back". The modestly-budgeted film secured his status as an international star, established the careers of director James Cameron and producer Gale Ann Hurd, and set the pace for many of the violent, action-adventure, special effects-driven movies...
Over the last two decades, this charismatic Austrian bodybuilder has become one of the world's leading box-office attractions, married into one of America's foremost families and built a thriving business and real estate empire.

He earned a Golden Globe Award as Most Promising Male Newcomer for his role in Bob Rafelson's "Stay Hungry" (1977) and starred in two sword-and-sorcery sagas, "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) and "Conan the Destroyer" (1984), each of which grossed over $100 million worldwide. Schwarzenegger's screen persona--a physique that strains the imagination combined with a thick Austrian accent--received a major credibility boost with "The Terminator" (1984), which cast him as an alien Ubermensch and established his trademark, automaton-like delivery of minimal lines such as "I'll be back". The modestly-budgeted film secured his status as an international star, established the careers of director James Cameron and producer Gale Ann Hurd, and set the pace for many of the violent, action-adventure, special effects-driven movies that would dominate the global market in the second half of 1980s. Schwarzenegger continued to star in such films for the rest of the 80s with the notable exception of the ludicrous, but successful, "Twins", a 1988 comedy that paired him with Danny De Vito. Schwarzenegger's career has been a carefully orchestrated one, reflecting an aggressive business and marketing acumen which has also brought him success in other fields (e.g., he now produces the "Mr. Universe" and "Mr. Olympia" pageants in which he once competed). With an eagerness not only to adapt to American life but to conquer it, reminiscent of the earlier immigrants who founded America's entertainment industry, he became a naturalized citizen in 1983 and joined the country's nobility with his 1986 marriage newscaster Maria Shriver, a member of the Kennedy family. Schwarzenegger started the 90s with a big-budget sci-fi actioner, Paul Verhoeven's "Total Recall" (1990), which some reviewers found repellent and violent. Audiences embraced it, making it one of the highest grossing films of its year. It was, however, trounced at the box office by more modest and seemingly harmless hits such as "Home Alone" and "Ghost". Schwarzenegger scored another hit in 1990 with "Kindergarten Cop", a change-of-pace comedy pitting the muscular tough guy against a classroom full of rowdy kids. This solidified the "kinder, gentler" nature that characterized his persona of the 90s. Prior to this conscious change in strategy, he had killed over 275 people onscreen in films that grossed over $1 billion worldwide. With a budget estimated as high as $95 million, Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) was a blockbuster sequel to the $6.5 million original. After a violent opening, the Terminator becomes a relatively paternalistic softy who merely wounds those foolish enough to get in his way while reserving his most lethal weapons for a new improved robot (Robert Patrick). Virtually a lavish remake, the film grossed over $200 million. As an encore, Schwarzenegger made his executive producing debut starring in a kiddie-oriented action comedy-fantasy, "The Last Action Hero" (1993). The most expensive film of the summer season (perhaps as much as $100 million), the film reunited the star with "Predator" (1987) director John McTiernan. It turned out to be a resounding flop, Schwarzenegger's first since achieving stardom. By contrast, his follow-up the next summer, "True Lies" (1994), gained a favorable response from critics and audiences who liked its good humor, astounding action sequences and more suitable use of its star. Written and directed by Cameron, this "domestic epic"-cum-Bond spoof successfully expanded the action hero's range and demonstrated that Schwarzenegger could play a suave tuxedo-clad spy dancing a tango with elegant bad girl Tia Carrere as well as a credible family man breaking bread in the suburbs with his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) and child. He and Curtis also proved surprisingly well matched as co-stars. Schwarzenegger turned to gentler, more farcical material with "Junior" (1994), spoofing his own body image as a man who becomes pregnant. Despite the auspicious reteaming with "Twins" director Ivan Reitman and co-star De Vito, the film proved a critical and commercial disappointment. He returned to familiar territory playing a US marshal with the witness protection program in "Eraser", a high-tech actioner for the 1996 summer season. The industry buzzed with news of Schwarzenegger's next project--playing the cool, cruel Mr. Freeze in the high-profile sequel "Batman and Robin" (1997). He has also made a few discreet forays behind the camera, helming a 1990 episode of HBO's "Tales from the Crypt" entitled "The Switch" and a 1992 TNT made-for-cable movie remake of "Christmas in Connecticut". The latter starred Dyan Cannon, Kris Kristofferson and Tony Curtis. In 2002, after a series of box office bombs, Schwarzenegger announced he was parting ways with the William Morris Agency, where he had been repped since 1997. The following year, Schwarzenegger reprised his role in "Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines," receiving his biggest earnings yet (reportedly over $30 million) for a feature film, despite the fact that the franchise's originator, writer-director James Cameron, and its nominal central character, Linda Hamilton, had both opted out of the sequel. Instead, Schwarzenegger would approve a script by up-and-coming writer-director Jonathan Mostow, and play another heroic version of his android character, caught in a conflict between a more adult John Connor and the villainous female TX (Kristana Lokken). The film proved to capture some the steel-crunching power stunts and the time-bending twists of the original two movies, if lacking some of their original spark and intensity; nevertheless, despite a heavy promotional push from its star (who at the time was the center of much media attention due to his "will he, won't he?" plan to run for governor of California) and mostly favorable reviews, "T3" performed merely adequately amid several other sequels in the American box office, making the majority of its profits internationally. In 2003, before promoting "T3," Schwarzenegger, an avowed Republican despite his wife's Kennedy connections, had dangled the possibility of his bid for the California governorship amid talks of a recall of the then-top official, Democrat Gray Davis, but cannily kept mum on his plans and his possible policies during interviews to promote his film. Perhaps waiting to see if he still had a A-level movie career ahead of him, the actor was expected to announce he would not run if the recall proceeded, then stunned everyone by jumping into the race with an announcement to Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show." Steered by a cadre of top California Republicans and receiving the endorsement of President George W. Bush, Schwarzenegger leapt into the political fray and was criticized early on for failing to fully define his campaign platform and refusing to participate in several debates; nevertheless he did prove a popular candidate and potential threat to Davis, gaining in polls as his campaign matured (he was also famously egged at a public appearance). He was dogged by a 1970s-era interview with Oui magazine in which he claimed to have experimented with illegal drugs and group sex. Schwarzenegger would appear with his wife on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to deny the claims, asserting that he had made them up to sensationalize his background and pump up his then nascent career. Just a few days before California's recall election, The Los Angeles Times ran a story featuring interviews with several women who alleged that, on various occasions betwen the mid-1970s and the year 2000, the actor had groped them against their will and/or made crude sexual remarks to them (many of the allegations first surfaced in a 2001 article in Premiere but were denied). Schwarzenegger did not admit to the latest round accusations, but he did make a public apology if he had offended anyone. The information did not dissuade the majority of California voters, who overwhelmingly approved the recall and elected Schwarzenegger to a three-year term as the governor of California on Oct. 7, 2003. The actor announced that his movie career would be shelved during his tenure as a public official, but he had one more film in the pipeline that had been filmed before he announced his political intentions. Ironically, his cameo role in the ensemble of the remake "Around the World in 80 Days" (2004) featured Schwarzenegger as Prince Halpi, a rakish Turkish potentate with many of the boorish characteristics that he himself was criticized for during his campaign: leering, groping, hot-tubbing and making uninvited advances toward the scantily clad women in his presence. The film's producers said Schwarzenegger Schwarzenegger took an active role in designing his character's appearance, right down to the prince's skin color and hairstyle, resulting vain, bejeweled, silk-robed ruler with visible wrinkles, unusual tan and shoulder-length hair who invites Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan) and his globetrotting friends into his opulent palace. Perhaps as a courtesy to the governor, the film's distributor Disney did not make available any images of Schwarzenegger in character, and the governor's office remained mum on the film. Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger secretly slipped away from Sacramento in 2004 to film sequences for "The Kid and I" (2005), written by his friend Tom Arnold and featuring the governor and Jamie Lee Curtis reprising their roles as "True Lies" heroes Harry and Helen Tasker for a cameo fantasy sequence in the story about a boy with cerebral palsy who is obsessed with the 1994 film. Though Schwarzenegger had a sometime rocky first term as governor and often stoked the ire of his more liberal Hollywood colleagues, he enforce legislation aimed at helping celebrities, signing a law which enforced new penalties against paparazzi who commit assaults in order to shoot potentially high-paying celebrity "money shots" after dangerous incidents involving such famous names as Reese Witherspoon, Lindsey Lohan and Scarlett Johannson.
