Rape is defined as sexual intercourse that is forced on a person without his or her permission. It may involve physical force or the threat of force. It may also be done against someone who is unable to give consent.
Sexual intercourse may be vaginal, anal, or oral. It may involve the use of a body part or an object.
Sex and rape; Date rape; Sexual assault
Most estimates say that 80 - 90% of rapes are not reported to police. Current trends project that 1 in 3 American women will be sexually assaulted at some point during their life.
The typical rape victim is a 16- to 24-year-old woman. Anyone, however -- man or woman, adult or child -- can be the victim of rape. In most cases, the victim knows the rapist.
Other important facts about rape include:
Date rape occurs when someone forces another person they are dating or spending time with to have sex. Date rape may involve the use of drugs such as flunitrazepam (Rohypnol).
The best response when being attacked will depend on the victim, the attacker, and the situation.
The victim may know, or even live or work with a person who sexually assaulted them. It is very important that rape victims get help to find a place where they feel safe after the attack.
People who are raped may not be able to say they were raped or seek help. Some may get medical help for a different reason, such as headaches, eating problems, pain, or sleep problems.
Emotional reactions can vary from person to person. Reactions may include:
Victims of rape should be helped to understand that what happened was not their fault. Nothing that they did should have allowed someone to have sex with them against their will. This includes dressing suggestively, or even kissing or other physical intimacy. The fault or blame is solely on the rapist.
The health care providers will:
After a sexual assault, it is very important that the person get support and information to begin the process of healing. This includes:

- The Print
- The Artist
Referring to himself as a re-creator, rather than a creator, Andy Warhol (1923 – 1987) established himself as a Pop Art icon through his iconic multiple silkscreened images of Campbell's soup cans. Produced in a studio called The Factory, Warhol's repetitive soup cans, Coca Cola bottles and dollar bills represented mass production and assembly line objects that demand quick recognition and consumption. Warhol's soup cans created a sensation in the art world and launched him as an international celebrity.
© Art.com
Andy Warhol's pioneering Pop Art defined a decade and a culture, distinguishing him as one of the most influential, creative and prolific artists of the 20th century. Originally the most sought-after commercial artist in New York, Warhol (1923 – 1987) is most known for his multiple images of Campbell's Soup cans, Coke bottles, dollar bills and celebrities, which exalted the beauty within ordinary objects and familiar images. Working out of a studio called The Factory, he invented the silkscreening process which enabled him to mass produce a single image in his signature style. Warhol was also a talented filmmaker, music producer, commercial illustrator, author and magazine publisher.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers

Honeydukes is one of the most famous attractions in Hogsmeade, loved by teachers and students alike. It is a sweet shop famous for its chocolate and many wonderfully wild sweets. It also houses the entrance to a secret passageway to Hogwarts. When Harry Potter wasn't permitted to go to Hogsmeade, Fred and George Weasley gave him the Marauder's Map, which showed Harry the location of a secret passage between Hogwarts and the basement of Honeydukes. The entrance in the school is found outside an empty classroom on the third floor, behind the statue of the humpbacked, one-eyed crone, Gunhilda of Gorsemoor. Tap it, and say Dissendium.
Honeydukes maintains and likely supplies the Honeydukes Express, the food trolley on the Hogwarts Express.

Fashionable FLOR: An inside look
Posted by FLOR | Filed under Behind the Scenes, Inspiration, Musings
Who would think of pairing carpet and high-fashion? FLOR would.
To us, it's a natural combination. We're constantly scouring the globe and runways for trends and inspiration so, we thought, what better way to highlight the au courant nature of our new fall styles than to pair them with couture fashions?
While we may be fond of fashion, we're not experts. We needed a little help to pull this off, so we enlisted the aid of a friend and former colleague, Sarah Faust. Sarah is an accomplished graphic designer and photographer in her own right and an adjunct faculty member at Chicago's Columbia College. She made a few inquiries and helped us connect with Agnes Hamerlik (below), a local artist, designer and recent alumna of the school's Fine & Performing Arts program.
This native of Poland shares a passion for design and a philosophy that parallels ours in many ways: an appreciation for refined elegance, timelessness and even an earth-aware consciousness (Hamerlik likes to use unconventional materials in her designs such as the re-purposed garbage bags seen in one of her dresses).
Next – where to shoot?
We wanted something raw and edgy, a contrast to the couture fashion, and a place that would allow our bold new optical graphic styles to really stand out. Our photographer found an old furniture factory on the near South Side of Chicago. We worked with Barron Custom Furniture to construct the platforms and sets and used their warehouse space for the photo shoot.
We fancy ourselves humorists here at FLOR, so maintaining a bit of tongue-in-cheek was important as we set out to do our version of a fashion shoot. We wanted to strike a balance between quirky and sophisticated …
Using our carpet design squares in unconventional ways – like platform covers and vertical backdrops – was one way to not take ourselves too seriously. (FLOR style shown below: Lasting Grateness in red, black and titanium)
You might be surprised to learn that it takes nearly as long to coif carpet as it does a runway model. It's true, there's styling to be done, figuring out the perfect placement, trimming of errant "hairs" aka fibers, vacuuming. It's a production, but hey doesn't she, we mean "it" look fabulous? (FLOR styles shown below: Lasting Grateness in red, Jimdandy in black)
Admittedly, the model was pretty striking too. Her are a few behind-the-scenes moments as her team styles away.
Maybe not the most glamorous changing room but a good place to strike a pose nonetheless…
Here Hamerlik transforms common garbage bags into a stunning work of wearable art. Our model, Ellie, seems to like it "this much"!
Below, designs from Hamerlik's collection "Dark Flower" (which were inspired by the Mexican artist, Frido Kahlo) brilliantly juxtapose femininity with an edgy toughness – pairing delicate, hand embroidery details with unexpected accessories like leather belts or Kahlo-esque braids. (FLOR style shown below: Positive Slant in lavender)
The craftsmanship of Hamerlik's designs is breathtaking – like this dress (below). Intricate rope and knot details lend a masculine air to a decidedly feminine silhouette.
Wouldn't you love to be a fly on-the-wall for this conversation? Our esteemed company president, Greg Colando talks couture carpet with up-and-coming couture fashion designer, Agnes Hamerlik. They seem to be in agreement, don't you think?
As with any photo shoot, there is plenty of down time. Here, our photo assistant sits in for a lighting test. She seems a bit nervous that we might do something with these photos … oh, wait … we are!
Agnes takes a look at the progress with our Creative Director, Marcus Wiedenhoeft.
The critical eye that comes from many years of photo shoots and beautiful catalog production. Granted, there's not usually fashion models involved, but he seems pretty nonplussed by that.
In the end, we think high-fashion carpet and high-fashion make a quite nice pair, don't you? (FLOR style shown: Made You Look in emerald and black)
We were delighted to work with such a bright talent for this season's catalog and wish to thank Sarah Faust for all of her consult, assistance and introduction; Model, Ellie for her beauty, patience and professionalism; and, Agnes Hamerlik for sharing her inspired designs.

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes

Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata)
|Acropora (1)
Classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1) and listed on Appendix II of CITES (2).
Staghorn corals are among the fastest growing corals on reefs, and are excellent reef-builders (3). The name Acropora literally means a porous stem or branch (4), but Acropora species express a much greater variety of growth forms than the name suggests. Colonies can resemble antlers (staghorns) and be up to two meters tall, or can form delicately engineered plates and tables that may be up to three meters across. They can also form bush-like structures, some with short non-dividing branches like the fingers of a hand (3). Staghorn corals often out-compete all other corals in shallow tropical reefs, however, their speed of growth (which can be up to 10 to 20 centimetres a year (5)) is balanced by the fragility of some of the structures, as they are easily damaged in storms allowing other coral species a chance of growth. With 368 Acropora species currently known, and with such an amazing array of shapes, sizes and colours, identifying individual species can be a tricky task (3).
Acropora pamlata is one of three Acropora species that occur in the western Atlantic and Caribbean region (4).
Staghorn corals occur in tropical reef environments, down to a depth of 30 meters. The upper depth limit is defined by wave action, whilst the lower limit at which Acropora can inhabit is determined by light availability and the amount of suspended sediments. Staghorn corals require normal marine salinity (5).
Like many corals, staghorn corals have a special symbiotic relationship with algae, called zooxanthellae. The zooxanthellae live inside the tissues of the coral and provide the coral with food, which it produces through photosynthesis and therefore requires sunlight. In return, the coral provides the algae with protection and access to sunlight.
Staghorn corals are reef-building or hermatypic corals, and are incredibly successful at this task for two reasons. Firstly, they have light skeletons which allow them to grow quickly and out-compete their neighbouring corals. Secondly, the skeleton, or corallite, of a new polyp, is built by specialised 'axial' corallites. These axial corallites form the tips of branches, and as a result, all the corallites of a colony are closely interconnected and can grow in a coordinated manner (3).
Staghorn corals reproduce sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction occurs via the release of eggs and sperm into the water. Most staghorn corals on the Great Barrier Reef sexually reproduce simultaneously, an incredible event that occurs soon after the full moon, from October to December. Streams of pinkish eggs are released from corallites on the sides of branches, to be fertilized by sperm released from other polyps at the same time. The water turns milky from all the eggs and sperm released from thousands of colonies. Some of the resulting larvae settle quickly on the same reef, whilst others may drift around for months, finally settling on reefs hundreds of kilometers away (3). Asexual reproduction occurs via fragmentation, when a branch breaks off a colony, reattaches to the substrate and grows (4).
Staghorn corals face the many threats that are impacting coral reefs globally. At present, around one third of the world's reef-building corals are threatened with extinction. The principal threat to corals is the rise in sea temperature associated with global climate change. This leads to coral bleaching, where the symbiotic algae are expelled, leaving the corals weak and vulnerable to an increasing variety of harmful diseases. Climate change is also expected cause more extreme weather incidents and to increase ocean acidification, which impairs the coral's ability to form a skeleton. These global threats are compounded by localised threats from pollution, destructive fishing practices, invasive species and human development (6).
Staghorn corals are considered to be environmentally sensitive corals that require clear, well-circulated water. Unlike other corals, which can obtain nourishment from zooplankton, staghorn corals are almost entirely dependent on the zooxanthellae for food. This means that sunlight is essential, and they are particularly sensitive to any human activities that increase water turbidity, reducing light availability (4).
Acropora palmata was once very abundant, but in recent decades it has remained at low levels of abundance, with no signs of recovery and in some areas, continued decline. Atlantic Acropora species are believed to be most greatly threatened by disease, temperature-induced bleaching, and physical damage from hurricanes. Threats from anthropogenic physical damage (e.g. vessel groundings, anchors, divers, snorkelers), coastal development, competition and predation are deemed to be moderate. The threat from collection or harvest was deemed abated by effective national and international regulations (4).
Acropora species constituted 13 percent of the global coral trade between 1985 and 1997. Coral is harvested for building materials, curios, jewellery, and for aquariums. Staghorn corals are more common in the dead coral trade, rather than the live aquarium trade (7).
Staghorn corals are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and therefore trade in this coral should be carefully regulated, and a permit is required to bring the coral, or objects made from them, into the countries that have signed the CITES convention (2). Staghorn corals will also form part of the marine community in many marine protected areas, or in areas where management plans are in place to protect the coral community. In some areas, coral reefs restoration attempts are being undertaken; in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, efforts have been made to reattach coral fragments, or culture and settle coral larvae. Both activities have had limited success, and new techniques are being pursued (5).

- Asexual reproduction: reproduction that does not involve the formation of sex cells, such as sperm and eggs. Asexual reproduction only involves one parent, and all the offspring produced by asexual reproduction are identical to one another.
- Colony: relating to corals: a coral composed of numerous genetically identical individuals (also referred to as zooids or polyps), which are produced by budding and remain physiologically connected.
- Hermatypic: reef-building corals. Most hermatypic corals have a close association with algae known as zooxanthellae, which live in their tissues. These corals are restricted to shallow, tropical, marine environments. Over time the accumulated deposition of calcium carbonate (limestone) by many hermatypic corals can form large limestone structures known as coral reefs.
- Larvae: relating to corals: the stages of development before settlement on the reef. Larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce.
- Photosynthesis: metabolic process characteristic of plants in which carbon dioxide is broken down, using energy from sunlight absorbed by the green pigment chlorophyll. Organic compounds are produced and oxygen is given off as a by-product.
- Polyp: typically sedentary soft-bodied component of Cnidaria (corals, sea pens etc), which comprise of a trunk that is fixed at the base; the mouth is placed at the opposite end of the trunk, and is surrounded by tentacles.
- Sexual reproduction: a form of reproduction that involves fertilization of a female cell or egg, by a male sperm. It usually involves two parents, one of either sex, but in some species individuals are hermaphrodite (possess both male and female sex organs).
- Zooplankton: floating or weakly swimming animals, many of them microscopic, that drift with water currents, particularly near the surface of the sea.

Why Walmart Had to Bring Back Layaways
Walmart is struggling to end its declining same store sales, which have faltered over the past nine consecutive quarters. It's no wonder: With massive unemployment, discount retailers have to pull out all the stops to win over new customers, or even retain the ones they have. Re-enter layaways, which Walmart shelved in 2006.

The Senate is poised to permit the government to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more to meet its obligations, putting off one Washington showdown even as others loom in coming weeks.
The measure would suspend the $16.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing through May 18, allowing an estimated $450 billion in new debt to be added to the federal ledger.
The Republican-controlled House passed the legislation last week. A successful Senate vote would send the measure to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it into law immediately.
Without the bill, the government would default on its obligations by as early as mid-February.

Once the drawings have been finalised and the manufacturing plans precisely defined, it is possible to proceed to building a run of prototypes, generally ten or so. They are subjected to testing which can last from four to twelve months. Only after these trials are completed can the movement go into production. The care required at each step of this phase demands a considerable investment in time. For more complicated models, final approval of prototypes can take up to two years.

It points out a serious flaw in the FDA's regulatory scheme that we think needs a formal regulatory fix - and soon.
The issue in Bader is the limits on pharmacy compounding.
In Bader a pharmacist purchased bulk human growth hormone ("HGH") - although it could just as easily been some other type of drug (maybe steroids, often used for similar purposes?) - a drug that's subject to severe restrictions when distributed as a drug in the USA.
Anyway, the defendant bought HGH in bulk form and from our point of view, didn't appear to do much to it. As stated in the opinion, he:
inspected the bulk HGH powder he had received for quality and potency, measured out the proper amount of bulk HGH powder into a single-dose container, separately packaged an appropriate quantity of saline for the consumer to mix with the powder, labeled and packaged the HGH dosage and the saline together, and supplied the two items to the customer. (The customer was responsible for actually mixing the saline and HGH before administering the drug.)Slip op. at 4.
After that the defendant pharmacist was open for business, able to fill prescriptions in avoidance of otherwise strict regulations, because "the FDA rigorously regulates the importation and distribution of finished drugs that areready for distribution to consumers, but exercises relatively little regulatory oversight over the importation of drug ingredients to be used by pharmacists to create 'compounded' drugs." Slip op. at 3.
So the FDA busted this pharmacist, claiming that what he was doing wasn't "compounding," but merely "repackaging" of a drug that was effectively in consumer-usable form. Id,
Problem is, after all these years, the FDA still doesn't have any formal definition of "compounding" in its regulations. So it had a hard time distinguishing "compounding" from "repackaging."
Here's why. Over the years the FDA has deferred to state definitions of "compounding." Slip op. at 6 (referring to "the FDA's traditional deference to state regulation of the practice of compounding"). Well, it just so happens that, in Colorado anyway, the state has defined "compounding" to include repackaging. Slip op. at 5.
Oops. The FDA's failure to have its house in order on defining "compounding" comes back to bite it (you decide where) in a big way.
Time to change gears. The Agency next attempts to fit pharmacy compounding (at least in this one instance) into the definition of "manufacturing". Slip op. at 8. Its basis: compounding technically falls into the definition of a "new drug" - subjecting its maker to regulation as a manufacturer - even though the FDA hasn't enforced the Act in this fashion for half a century:
[P]racticality aside, the FDCA contains no exception to the definition of a new drug for one that is compounded. Thus,on its face, the FDCA is susceptible to an interpretation that would require all compounded drugs to go through the NDA process. For half a century, practicality prevailed – the FDA simply declined to exercise any authority it might have exerted over compounded drugs, electing to defer to the state regulation of pharmacists who engaged in the practice of compounding.
Congress mucked things up further by adding pharmacy compounding provisions to the FDC Act in 1997 in something called FDAMA. Those provisions exempted compounded drugs from the Act's new drug requirements if:
- compounded by a licensed pharmacist pursuant to a valid prescription issued to an individual patient (or is prepared in limited quantities in anticipation of receiving a prescription based on prior business history)
- the pharmacist complies with industry standards set forth in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other sources (such as state law)
- the compounded drug is not one that appears on an FDA list of specific drugs deemed to be unsafe (maybe steroids are on this list)
- the pharmacist doesn't churn out "inordinate amounts" of a copy of a commercially available drug
- the drug is not one that the FDA has specifically designated as being unsuitable for compounding (maybe steroids are on this list)
- the pharmacy is not producing "inordinate amounts of compounded drug products" generally, and
- the pharmacy doesn't advertise or promote the compounding of any particular drug or class of drugs.
The last bullet point - prohibiting all advertising, truthful or otherwise, was the kicker. It got this part of FDAMA declared unconstitutional in Thompson v. Western StatesMedical Center, 535 U.S. 357 (2002), on First Amendment grounds. We've discussed these First Amendment issues here, in the context of off-label use. So Congress, trying to clarify, just made things worse.
Bader, of course, has nothing to do with the First Amendment. Trouble is, the Ninth Circuit, in a part of its ruling that the Supreme Court didn't touch in Thompson, declared the whole kit and caboodle of FDAMA's compounding provisions not just unconstitutional, but unseverable - which means all of it fell together. Western States Medical Center v. Shalala, 238 F.3d 1090, 1096-98 (9th Cir. 2001). This is all discussed, slip op. at 9.
After Thompson, the FDA rejiggered its informal guidance concerning compounding, but although it initiated some administrative action on the First Amendment in response to Thompson, but never followed through on that. The Agency did state, in 2002, "that it intended to proceed as if FDAMA was void in its entirety." Slip op. at 14-15 (quoting FDA guidance).
So the FDA's administrative sloth in not wanting to confront the First Amendment implications of Thompson comes back to haunt the Agency in Bader. It's stuck with the Ninth Circuit's unconstitutionality ruling, and only an informal guidance - not having force of law - that addresses what constitutes compounding. And what's worse, that guidance "emphasizes that the FDA will continue defer to state regulation of the traditional practice of compounding." Slip op. at 11.
It gets screwier. There's a second decision, Medical Center Pharmacy v. Mukasey, 536 F.3d 383, 394 (5th Cir. 2008), that according to the Bader court: (1) disagreed with the Ninth Circuit's severability ruling, and (2) construed the statute/regulations to mean that compounded drugs that complied with the provisions of the now-severable FDAMA, were not subject to the NDA process at all. Slip op. at 13.
Colorado, of course, isn't in either the Ninth or the Fifth Circuits, but rather is in the Tenth.
So what is the status of a severely restricted drug, imported as a bulk ingredient, and then reduced to individual-sized units, without really changing its composition, in a way that avoids those legal restrictions?
There were three possible positions: (1) that FDAMA was unconstitutional, so there was no exemption and compounded drugs were "new drugs," thus requiring compounders to be regulated as "manufacturers" (the FDA's position); (2) that FDAMA was unconstitutional, so compounding was relegated to the FDA's prior position for half a century of deferring to the states (the defendant's position); and (3) FDAMA was severable, and the unconstitutional parts created an exemption, provided certain criteria were met. That's the Fifth Circuit's view, but not advocated by either party in Bader. Slip op. at 13-14.
The court chose option (3), slip op. at 17, even though that effectively meant the government can renege on its 2002 public statement that it considers the compounding aspects of FDAMA void in their entirety.
After all that, what's the definition of "compounding"?
Good question.
The FDA started out arguing that what the defendant did was mere "repackaging." But the upshot of the court's ruling on the vampire-like status of FDAMA (rising from the dead) means that what the defendant pharmacy made could be considered a "new drug" and the defendant would be regulated as a manufacturer.
But there's still the uncomfortable fact that nowhere - not in the pre-1997 FDCA, not in FDAMA, and not in the FDA's guidances - is any attempt made to define "compounding." Slip op. at 19-20. In the absence of any definition provided by Congress or formally embodied in an FDA regulation, the court wasn't about to let the Agency gin something up ad hoc on the basis of warning letters and other informal actions. Slip op. at 20.
In default of any federal definition, the states had their own, varying definitions. Slip op. at 20-21.
So the court decides that the Colorado definition of "compounding" - which includes simple "repackaging" - applies. Slip op. at 21-22.
The FDA can superimpose its FDAMA definition of what's a "new drug" on top of this patchwork of state regulations. Thus it can regulate some compounding pharmacies as "manufacturers." Slip op. at 22-23.
That means, in the circumstances of the Bader case that the defendant first has to meet the Colorado definition of "compounding" that includes "repackaging" (which even the court thinks he can do, slip op. at 24), but then must also meet the previously bullet pointed FDAMA requirements - except for the last one, which was declared unconstitutional in Western States. Slip op. at 24-25.
So what do we think?
First, it's a morass. The FDA should undertake formal rulemaking to define "compounding" in a way that's not unconstitutional under Western States. The state standards are designed for other purposes and potentially allow not only HGH but other highly restricted drugs to be prescribed freely through "compounding" in a way that nullifies the otherwise applicable restrictions, which presumably are imposed for weighty public health reasons.
Second, can compounding possibly be considered "manufacturing" - especially in the Bader case? As non-regulatory lawyers, that seems completely counterintuitive, since "manufacturing" connotes whipping the stuff up from scratch - the opposite of what happened here. The defendant pharmacist did nothing to the HGH except transfer it from bulk form to patient-ready doses. It makes more sense to consider it "repackaging" and regulate it as such.
Third, we have serious doubts whether the court's analysis in Bader, regardless of the correctness of its lengthy discussion of the administrative antecedents, can fly in a criminal prosecution. The upshot is that the the government, as prosecutor, gets to apply a different definition to the defendant's conduct after the fact than it had enunciated at the time. That sounds like ex post facto to us - although, again, we're not criminal lawyers, and maybe there's some nuance or exception that we don't know about.
Thus, it all comes back to number one. The FDA needs to clarify the law applicable to compounding so that it can enforce it in something other than the Rube-Goldberg manner that's going on in Bader.

There are people everywhere who identify as LGBTQ and are happy. There is no "gay lifestyle." Instead, there are millions of people figuring out how to live true to themselves. Some live in cities, some on farms. Some are married or in committed relationships.
Some churches may still be loudly homophobic, but there are many, many churches and devout Christians throughout the world who embrace all of God's children, who know that it's okay to be Christian and to love a member of the same sex.
The medical establishment also thinks that being gay is okay.

Kinston Police are investigating a report of shots fired, that resulted in a home being hit a block away.
Officials say it happened around 6 p.m. Saturday evening. Officers were originally responding to a report of a fight around the intersection of Nelson Street and Vernon Avenue. The report of a fight was upgraded to shots fired.
Several officers responded to the scene but did not find any victims, nor anyone with information aside from the home hit.

Product Details
The AD5252 is a dual channel, digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) with resolutions of 256 positions. This device performs the same electronic adjustment function as a potentiometer or variable resistor. The AD5252's versatile programming via a Micro Controller allows multiple modes of operation and adjustment.
In the direct program mode a predetermined setting of the RDAC register can be loaded directly from the micro controller. Another key mode of operation allows the RDAC register to be refreshed with the setting previously stored in the EEMEM register. When changes are made to the RDAC register to establish a new wiper position, the value of the setting can be saved into the EEMEM by executing an EEMEM save operation. Once the settings are saved in the EEMEM register, these values will be transferred automatically to the RDAC register to set the wiper position at system power ON. Such operation is enabled by the internal preset strobe and the preset can also be accessed externally.
The basic mode of adjustment is the increment and decrement from the present setting of the Wiper position setting (RDAC) register. An internal scratch pad RDAC register can be moved UP or DOWN, one step of the nominal resistance between terminals A-and-B. This linearly changes the wiper-to-B terminal resistance (RWB) by one out of 64/256 positions of the AD5251/AD5252 end- to-end resistance (RAB). For non-linear changes in wiper setting, a left/right shift command adjusts levels in 6dB steps, which can be useful for sound and light alarm applications.
The AD5251/AD5252 is available in the thin TSSOP-14 package. All parts are guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Aurousal VS review
Aurousal is a relatively new operation. It started out with a smart-looking standmount speaker called the A1, based on a solitary port-loaded 'full range' Jordan drive unit with a 90mm metal foil diaphragm (that's claimed to flex progressively towards higher frequencies). As is usually the way with such systems, this crossover-less system had fine coherence, but delivered limited performance as one moved towards the top and bottom extremes of the audio band.

text: Posted 28th June 2013 at 01:27 am The Welsh international moved to Blues in the summer of 2013 after his contract with Blackpool came to an end. Llandudno-born Eardley began his career at Oldham Athletic where he made over 100 appearances for the Latics before moving to Blackpool for an undisclosed fee in August 2009. The right-back quickly became a mainstay in the Seasiders team that had a one-season stint in the Barclays Premier League during the 2010/11 campaign. Eardley made his debut for Blues against Watford at the start of August 2013. But having made just seven appearances, his season was brought to a premature end when he ruptured his medial ligament and suffered a partial tear in his anterior cruciate ligament against Ipswich Town. He returned to full training in July 2014. In January 2015 Eardley joined League One side Leyton Orient for what was expected to be a one-month loan. However, with the agreement of all parties, he returned early from the O's having made just one appearance.

Video: Met Police crackdown on economic crime: 81 arrests so far
12:43 29 May 2012
Police have so far made 81 arrests in the Met's largest ever crackdown on economic crime.
Launched today, officers on Operation Stimtone are carrying out 300 separate operations to target people those involved in money laundering, identity fraud, handling stolen goods, conspiracy to defraud and those who target the vulnerable and elderly sections of our community.
Economic crime costs businesses and the taxpayers of London tens of millions of pounds every year.
As well as the arrests, officers have also seized £1.4 million cash, more than 500 cannabis plants, two replica firearms, a large quantity of class A drugs including 170 wraps of cocaine, one CS gas canister, two cars, one motorbike and a £25,000 motor cruiser.
Various items of stolen property including games consoles have also been recovered throughout the morning..
More than 900 officers are working across London today executing search warrants for stolen property and proceeds of crime, undertaking covert operations against fraudsters, carrying out financial investigations and paying visits to pawnbrokers, bureaux de change, storage companies and scrap metal dealers.
Commander Allan Gibson is leading today's operation. He said: "Economic crime is not a victimless crime. It affects all of us as law-abiding members of the public. We ultimately end up paying the price for crimes against businesses through increased taxes, insurance premiums and the price of goods.
"This is why today over 900 officers will be busy working across all 32 London boroughs seeking to seize the proceeds of crime and work to take criminal property back.
"We are determined to make sure crime does not pay but criminals do. We want to show communities criminals who comfortably live off the proceeds of their crimes are being brought to justice. Working together we are stronger and we can get the better of criminals."
You can follow the key results on Twitter @metpoliceuk. The hash tag throughout the day will be #bigwing.
If you have any information on people or individuals who are running scams or making money through any criminal activity call 101 to speak to a police operator or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

|テウチ Teuchi
|Volume #1, Databook #1
|Naruto Episode #52
|The Last: Naruto the Movie
|Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Will of Fire
|Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3
|Hidden Leaf Village Grand Sports Festival!
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Novel, Game, Movie
|Voice Actors
|August 10
|Blood type
Teuchi (テウチ, Teuchi) is a citizen of Konohagakure and the owner of Ramen Ichiraku.
Teuchi is a very kind and jovial man. Often seen smiling, he and his daughter, Ayame, have always treated Naruto Uzumaki well, considering him their best customer. Nevertheless, he is a stern businessman and will lash out at his employees when they make mistakes such as sticking their thumb in a bowl of ramen. He has also been described as stubborn, obstinate, and having the temperament of a craftsman.
Part I
Search for Tsunade Arc
He witnesses Jiraiya and Naruto head off to Shukuba Town, and is later asked where they went by Sasuke.
Ninja Chef Arc
In the anime, Ayame was kidnapped by Hakkaku, who wanted Teuchi's recipe. The recipe was just to remove the bitter taste from the soup.
Part II
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
After Naruto managed to cut the waterfall in his wind natured chakra training, he was treated to some ramen at Ichiraku. However Teuchi kept rejecting the ramen made by his apprentices Matsu and Nishi before Naruto could eat it, and was quickly getting angry with them, claiming that they kept making these stupid mistakes.[4]
Itachi Pursuit Arc
In the anime, Teuchi is seen working behind the bar with his daughter, Ayame, while Naruto and Jiraiya discuss about dealing with Itachi and Sasuke.[5]
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Soon after Tsunade regained consciousness, Sakura burst into Ichiraku to inform Naruto and Teuchi about what happened. Upon hearing the good news, Teuchi offered a bowl of ramen to both Naruto and Sakura, on the house, which Naruto accepted, but Sakura declined. Just as Naruto was about to eat he was reverse-summoned to Mount Myōboku, much to Teuchi's confusion. When Naruto reappeared in Ramen Ichiraku, Teuchi asked where his best customer disappeared to. When Naruto was asked by the other ninja customers for his autograph, Teuchi thought proudly at how Naruto was being called the "Miracle boy" and at the irony at how not so long ago he was thought of as the opposite. Teuchi then asked the other customers to allow Naruto to finish his meal before he signed anything.
Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire
He is seen when Naruto is at Ramen Ichiraku after he escaped from the hospital.
Naruto Shippūden 4: The Lost Tower
Teuchi is seen in a flashback, on Ramen Ichiraku grand opening, twenty years in the past. The first day seemed to be a success, as he had a huge line of customers impatiently waiting for his half price ramen.
- Teuchi first made his appearance in the official series in a short omake, published in the first databook. However, he had appeared before in the pilot of Naruto, making him one of the earliest appearing characters from the series, together with Naruto Uzumaki himself and an early version of Hiruzen Sarutobi. His first appearance in the actual manga was in chapter 144.
- Teuchi's favourite word is "artisan", "craft" (匠, takumi).
- Teuchi's name can mean "making noodles by hand" (手打ち). However, the same word can also mean "killing someone with one's bare hands."

AG079: Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend
this wiki
Team Rocket are fighting who gets to call. Giovanni calls them to hear the news of the base. When they say it is destroyed, Giovanni is frustrated since they have no success. Team Rocket decide they need to do something big. When Jessie's Wobbuffet comes out of its Poké Ball, the telephone booth crashes. The next day, the gang is awake - Brock cooks breakfast while Ash, May and Max brush their teeth. They hear something from a bush, so Skitty goes in and returns to May, looking scared. The Pokémon comes from the bush - it is a Spoink. However, it is missing a pearl.
Torkoal cries for Spoink's loss, so the gang decides to help Spoink find the pearl. Spoink and the gang go to search the pearl. Spoink demonstrates it slept and fell over and then the pearl fell off the cliff and lost itself. Brock sends Mudkip to help in the search. Spoink found its pearl and uses Psychic to put on its head. However, it is actually Igglybuff. A girl appears and sees her Igglybuff, bot Spoink goes away, making the girl cry. Brock and Max stop it in time, but Spoink is sad when it did not get the pearl yet. Next, they encounter a Voltorb and it uses Psychic to put on its head. The gang goes to give it to a boy who arrived, but are electrocuted by Voltorb.
Next, they encounter Electrode, so Spoink (seeing it is round) puts on its head, but Electrode explodes. The gang gives up, but Mudkip spots a round object - it is the pearl! Spoink puts on its head and goes away happy. Torkoal cries for the recovery. The gang comes to Spoink, but everyone falls into a hole, and not long after Team Rocket appear. Team Rocket say they are new and Jessie cuts a rope, so everyone is pulled up inside a net. Ash sends Corphish who cuts the net. During their fall, Spoink loses its pearl, with Meowth catching it. Jessie sends Seviper and James his Cacnea. Corphish attacks with Bubble Beam, but Seviper dodges and goes to wrap Corphish, but misses.
Cacnea attacks with Pin Missile, but the attack has no effect due to Harden. Corphish attacks with Crabhammer, knocking Seviper and Cacnea out. Corphish uses Bubble Beam and Mudkip Water Gun, blasting them off. Max sees Spoink without its pearl. Team Rocket got the pearl and Meowth thinks it would look good on boss's crown. The gang appears, but Team Rocket run away. They disappear into a crowd of people, attending a carnival. They search for the pearl and Spoink sees a juggler, so it takes one of its balls, but soon returns after the gang intervenes. Same goes with a fortune teller and her crystal ball.
Team Rocket wander around. James catches a Feebas and sees a man - the same man who sold a Magikarp to him. He offers them the Feebas, but Jessie remembers her encounter with the Feebas - it grabbed her hair. The salesman shows them a video where Feebas evolves into Milotic. James and Meowth are still not convinced, but the salesman tells them that he has family back home. Since they have no money, they give the pearl for the Feebas. Team Rocket put the Feebas to swim in the water, however... its color fades, revealing to be a... Magikarp. Jessie goes mad for such a rotten deal, but surprise is not yet ended - the gang appears.
The gang demands the pearl, but Team Rocket explain the event, so they run off to find the salesman. The gang needs to do so before them. The gang finds the salesman, so Brock and Ash have an idea. Brock hides and his Mudkip uses Water Gun on Feebas, revealing it to be a Magikarp. The salesman tries to get away, but is intercepted by Brock and demands the pearl. Team Rocket appear as well, wanting the pearl back. Spoink uses Psychic, placing the Magikarp on its head, but soon falls. Ash and the salesman fight and the pearl is released in Team Rocket's hands. Jessie sends Dustox to protect the pearl.
Ash sends Torkoal. Dustox attacks with Poison Sting, but fails due to Iron Defense. Torkoal uses Flamethrower, hurting Dustox. James sends Cacnea and uses Needle Arm, but fails due to Iron Defense. Torkoal attacks with Body Slam, knocking Cacnea out. Dustox attacks with Psi Beam, hitting Torkoal. Mudkip uses Water Gun, knocking Dustox out. Cacnea attacks with Needle Arm, but misses. Torkoal attacks with Overheat, knocking Cacnea onto Meowth, dropping the pearl. Max puts the pearl on Spoink's head, recovering it. Spoink uses Confuse Ray, hitting Cacnea and Dustox. Spoinks blasts them off with Psychic.
Max notices the salesman's gone, but they won't go after it. The gang leaves, waving goodbye to Spoink.
- Featured Pokemon: Electrabuzz, Steelix, Cacnea, Shiftry

So many people feel insignificant, unworthy and unimportant.
The truth of the matter is there are no unimportant people and no unimportant events.
A man sat in the shade of a tree and saw an apple fall and discovered the law of gravity. His name was Isaac Newton.
Another man sat in the kitchen and saw a teakettle steam. It was a significant experience because, seeing that teakettle, he discovered the principle of the steam engine. His name was Robert Fulton.
There are no insignificant people or insignificant events.

To anybody planning on attending the Mid-MO APBT show in Jefferson City I urge you to get your rooms booked soon. There is a soccer tournament in town and the hotels are expecting to get filled up. I have worked out a deal with Econo Lodge to accept pets for the show. There are outside entrances to the rooms there. Motel 6 also accepts pets. They have a lobby entrance. These are the only 2 hotels that take pets here so please book your rooms now so you aren't left without one. Camping will be $20 total for the weekend at the fairgrounds.
