How a Century of Homelessness Shaped AmericaIn the years following the Civil War, a veritable army of homeless men swept across America's "wageworkers' frontier" and forged a beguiling and bedeviling counterculture known as "hobohemia."

After a courageous three and a half year battle with ALS, David D. Hill of Austin entered his Heavenly home on June 12, 2014 with his family by his side. David was born in Coffeyville, KS August 26, 1946 to Delbert & Bonnie Hill. He graduated from high school in Coffeyville. David enlisted in the USMC in 1967, earned a rank of sergeant and received numerous awards and commendations. After returning from Vietnam he completed his BS from K-State in Manhattan, KS and later his MS from Wichita State University. After retiring from a career with the U. S. Probation Office, District of Kansas in 1998, he then pursued careers as railroad conductor and paralegal investigator. In 2006 he moved to Austin, TX to live closer to family. His true loves outside of his family were fishing, enjoying nature and playing golf. Throughout David's life he was a devout Christian. It was his strong faith that allowed him to maintain the ability to love, laugh and bring joy with his sense of humor during a most difficult time. He was a loving and dedicated husband to his wife Mary Ann of nearly 46 years and a caring and proud father and "PaPa". David is survived by his parents; wife Mary Ann; daughter Lisa and son-in-law, Charles D'Andrade; granddaughters Brooke and Riley; grandson Chase; brother Barry (Karin), (SC), brother-in-law and sister-in-law Mike and Sandy Schwinn (OK), nieces and nephew and many other dear family and friends.

The city of Glenwood's water system continues to be in violation of established drinking water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
According to a legal notice published in the Aug. 1 edition of The Opinion-Tribune and a letter sent to customers of the Glenwood Municipal Utilities (GMU), recent testing indicated the city's water system is exceeding the standard or maximum contaminant level (MCL) for trihalomethanes, a chemical by-product formed when chlorine or other disinfectants used to control contaminants in drinking water react with naturally occurring organic and inorganic matter in the water. The maximum level of trihalomethanes acceptable in drinking water, according to the EPA standard, is 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The level of trihalomethanes in Glenwood's water during the most recent quarterly test was 0.0905 mg/L. The running average of the last four quarterly tests for Glenwood water was 0.0878 mg/L.
Glenwood's water system has been exceeding the standard for trihalomethanes for more than two years and is generating concern among some GMU water customers who have voiced their displeasure on social media sites and made telephone calls to the Mills County Public Health Office and Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Mills County Public Health environmental specialist Mike Sukup said his office has no jurisdiction or direct involvement with GMU, but noted he has fielded calls from Glenwood residents concerned about their drinking water. Sukup said he refers the calls to GMU or the DNR.
As noted in GMU's most recent notice to its customers, some people who drink excessive amounts of water containing trihalomethanes that exceed the EPA standard over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
"You do not need to use an alternative (bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor," the GMU notice stated.
GMU water superintendent Dale Marshall said he understands customer concerns about the water, but added, "Progress is being made" to remedy the situation.
Marshall said GMU has communicated with several other communities that have faced similar issues with their water systems and several plant studies have been done to determine the effectiveness of chlorine alternatives for the reduction and removal of organic matter from the water. Marshall said an on-going study involving the use of chloramine as a disinfectant alternative has produced successful results in the laboratory and he's optimistic it will produce lower trihalomethane levels once integrated into Glenwood's water distribution system.
Marshall said the new treatment could result in the water having a slight change in taste and odor.
"It will be less chlorine and possibly less of that swimming pool taste and odor," he said.
Marshall said GMU has been working closely with engineering consultants and the DNR to implement changes necessary to bring the drinking water into compliance with EPA standards.
"We've got a lot of people looking over our shoulders and hopefully giving us good advice," Marshall said. "We'll be monitoring things very closely."
If or when GMU is able to get the trihalomethane levels in check, it could take up to four consecutive quarterly tests before the EPA standard is met.

Treasure Hunt 04/27/16
Dear Donna,
This belonged to my grandmother and has been passed down to me. I am wondering if you could give me a value on it. As you can see, it is in what I think to be perfect condition. Plus, it has several extra parts.
Kim from Manchester
Dear Kim,
This is a child's cast iron toy stove, and you are right, it's in great condition. Most people assume because of the size and the real detail just like the large cookstoves that these were salesman samples. Some are, but most are just a miniature version of the large cookstoves and made for toys. Your Little Eva Stove (by T. Southard) was made in the late 1800s or early 1900s. There were lots of different companies and styles during that time, all having different values today.
It was made accurately and could actually be used with wood to cook on. You could fill the belly with wood and put food in the pans or pots and make smaller versions of mom's meals. Imagine that being done today? I don't think so. Just think of how hot it could get.
Having your grandmother's stove in such nice condition and with all the added parts makes it very desirable to a collector in today's market. Things have changed with all the reproductions being made (which has brought down values) but to find the old ones I would think would be a great hunt and reward to find.
I saw several while doing research; prices were all over the place, but I feel your stove should be in the $250 range to a collector. It is nice and, even better, it has a family history with it. I hope you keep it and share it with someone in your family as well.

Jessie Arbuckle
Mrs. Jessie Frances Crews Arbuckle, 93, of Largo, Fla., died peacefully at her residence on March 8, 2014. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Jessie Frances, or Frankie, as she was affectionately known, was born Dec. 4, 1920. She spent her early years in Neosho Falls. She earned an associate degree from Iola Junior College in 1940 and a bachelor's degree in education from Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia in 1969.
Mrs. Arbuckle began her teaching career in a one-room school in rural Kansas soon after her marriage in 1939 to Harold Ross Arbuckle. During World War II, she and her husband resided in Wichita.
They returned to Iola in 1948, where she lived until 1986.
Frankie was a homemaker for many years. She resumed her teaching career in the '70s and became a librarian at Iola Junior High School for 14 years. Soon after retirement, she moved to Houston, Texas, where she lived for 20 years until 2006, at which time she moved to Largo, Fla.
Mrs. Arbuckle loved to dance and taught line dancing until age 86. She was fiercely independent and definitely walked to the beat of her own drum. She collected music from all genres and enjoyed sharing her music with all.
Mrs. Arbuckle had a beautiful voice and sang in the choir at St. John's in Iola. She also played a mean boogie woogie. She was also an imaginative seamstress and an artist, and painted everything from bracelets to oil on canvas. Most of all, she loved to read and always had a book in her hand. Mrs. Arbuckle was very interested in genealogy and spent many hours researching her family's ancestry.
Mrs. Arbuckle is survived by her children, Nancy Sue Henke and her husband, Kenneth, of Lafayette, La., Mary Elizabeth Hammond, of Seminole, Fla., and Jessie Leah Wilson, Naples, Fla. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Jennifer Cyrus, David Cyrus and Dr. Michael Henke, Denise Loy, Mark Avery, Philip Brown; Shannon Hill and Heather Harmison and many great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Mrs. Arbuckle was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Ross Arbuckle; her parents, Violet Cushman Minton Crews and Roy Laverne Crews, Moran.
Her family wishes to thank Cookie Steele and the staff of Pinecrest Place in Largo, Fla., for their kindness and assistance in her care.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to a charity of one's choice.
Condolences may be expressed at MohnFuneral Home, Seminole, Fla. (www.mohnfuneralhome.com).

This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/486,881, filed Jun 7, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,548,994, which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/308918 filed Sep. 20, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,517.
The present invention concerns a sensitive rotating viscometer with a stator connection therefor and therein, and the stator itself, useful in measuring fluid viscosity.
The configuration of most rotational viscometers require a rotating element called the rotor and a stationary element called the stator, which contains the fluid to be tested for properties such as viscosity, and in which most typically the rotor rotates in contact with the fluid so as to determine drag caused by the fluid. This drag can then be related to the viscosity of the fluid.
Rotational viscometers such as the Brookfield viscometer are well-known instruments for measuring viscosities of liquids. Usually, the rotor, which is driven by a motor in the Brookfield head or module, is immersed in a large container of liquid in which the walls of the container are at some considerable distance from the rotor and thus have little influence on the measurement of the viscous value. This container is the stator. In some applications such as in the well-known Scanning Brookfield Technique, discovered and developed by Mr. Theodore W. Selby and licensed to the Tannas Co., Midland, Mich., and used in ASTM D 5133, incorporated herein by reference as its 1990 version, the rotor must be relatively close to the stator wall to gain the necessary sensitivity. In such a case, the rotor must be centered carefully.
Typically, the stator is fixed to the Brookfield module by means of a stator collar. See e.g., Deysarkar et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,648,263 (Mar. 10, 1987), incorporated herein by reference.
In practice, problems are encountered with the commercially available support and centering attachment as of Deysarkar et al., which is known commercially as the Pennzoil/Tannas rotor/stator centering adapter, Tannas Model Number SBV-P. In particular, and in reference to the foregoing patent, an O-ring, present in the SBV-P adapter in a slot cut in interior surface 54 of cylindrical member 70, can swell as from contact with solvents or oil to the point where sometimes, upon the contraction of the constraining cylindrical member 70, a glass stator 28 may be difficult to remove or actually break in removal. The O-ring also may become worn or oily, and, if a loose fit between cylindrical member 70 and stator 28 is engendered, slippage and rotation of the stator occurs during testing, which destroys the value of the test. Furthermore, the O-ring can be difficult to install and remove for replacement. Another effect of low-temperature contraction of cylindrical member 70 is that when bath 44 controls the test liquid temperature at minus forty degrees C., or below, separation of parts of device 40, to include removal of a glass stator 28, filled with tested liquid, from the lower end 52 of the device, becomes very difficult because of the aforementioned contraction of the engineering thermoplastic employed to make the adapter.
A further problem in low temperature viscometry is the need to introduce dry air or gas above the liquid being cooled so that the surface of the oil does not gather moisture and form ice.
Accordingly, research has been directed at solving such problems at the Tannas Co. Note in this connection the following U.S. patent applications: Van Meter et al., Ser. No. 08/308,918, filed Sep. 20, 1994, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,517 (May 7, 1996), entitled ROTOR-STATOR ADAPTER FOR SENSITIVE ROTATING VISCOMETERS; Van Meter, Ser. No. 08/336,379, filed Nov. 8, 1994, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,517,850 (May 21, 1996), entitled ROTOR-STATOR ADAPTERS WITH INTERNALLY THREADED STATOR COLLAR & EXTERNALLY THREADED NUT FOR SENSITIVE ROTATING VISCOMETERS. See also, Van Meter et al., design Ser. No. 29/030,792, filed Nov. 8, 1994, issued as U.S. Pat. No. 364,351 (Nov. 21, 1995), entitled COLLAR HOUSING FOR A ROTOR-STATOR ADAPTOR FOR SENSITIVE ROTATING VISCOMETERS. Each of these inventions involves a stator collar, improvements over the support arid centering device of Deysarkar et al., and the commercial model SBV-P.
However, manufacture and commercialization of such adapten or stator collars is, in general, not without noteworthy expense. Moreover, the requirement of an adapter or stator collar can present an additional investment in operator training, and equipment upkeep.
What is needed is an arrangement or article which overcomes such problems or hurdles, while providing for precise centering of the rotor spindle in the stator of a sensitive rotating viscometer. It should be readily manufacturable and commercializable--and be efficient to operate, especially by even inexperienced operation.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate problems in the art such as aforesaid.
It is an object hereof to avoid an adapter such as of the patent to Deysarkar et al.
It is an object hereof to avoid problems or drawbacks associated with the presence of an adapter or stator collar in a sensitive rotating viscometer as aforesaid.
It is an object hereof to provide for precise centering of the rotor spindle in the slater of such a viscometer.
It is an object hereof to provide for simple introduction of dry air or gas to protect the liquid surface from moist air.
It is an object hereof to provide a readily manufacturable arrangement.
It is an object hereof to provide a readily commercializable arrangement.
It is an object hereof to provide an efficiently operable arrangement, especially by even inexperienced operators.
Further objects hereof are extant, to include as may be ascertained from the present specification.
The present invention provides, in one aspect, in a sensitive rotating viscometer having a module in which resides a motor for rotating a rotor attachable to a shaft of the motor, the rotor having a longitudinal axis and being rotatable about its longitudinal axis, being typically pivotally suspended from the shaft about to a lower end of the viscometer module, and generally cooperating with a stator and a predetermined quantity of test fluid in the stator, and being suspended within the slater in which the test fluid can be contained for contact with the rotor, so that, when the rotor rotates therein, drag is created on the rotating rotor related to viscosity of the test fluid, the improvement which comprises a fixable stator connected to the module of the viscometer through a proximate slater connector. Another aspect hereof can include the fixable stator itself.
The invention is useful in assisting the measurement of viscosity.
Significantly, the invention achieves all or at least some of its objects and solves or ameliorates problems in the art as aforementioned. More particularly, the invention avoids the aforementioned adapters or o-ring-containing slater collars, and hence, problems associated with the same or the like. It is readily manufacturable and commercializable; it provides for precise centering of the rotor within the stator, and it is easily operable, especially by even inexperienced operators.
Nurmerous further advantages attend the invention.

The patents, pending patent specifications, and other publications mentioned anywhere in the present specification are incorporated herein by reference.
The invention can be further understood by reference to the present detail and drawings, which are to be construed as illustrative and not necessarily limiting in nature.
In reference to the drawing figures, within FIGS. 1 et seq., sensitive rotating viscometer 1000 has viscometer module 100 which houses a motor (not illustrated) and so forth. Along axis of rotation 101, in general, from lower end 120 of the module 100 protrudes rotatable motor shaft 130. An adapter 131, mounting on the shaft 130, can have pivot notch or hook 132 for pivotally mounting a rotor spindle 140 which rotates in test liquid 99, for example, a gear oil, motor oil, automatic transmission fluid, or other oleaginous or hydrophylic liquid, contained in stator 280. The stator 280 contains the test liquid 99 and is attached for testing.
Stator connector 300 may attach directly to the viscometer lower end 120 (FIGS. 1-7) or be made integrally therewith (FIGS. 8-10 & 12). Modifications from combining features of attachment and integrally making of a stator connector with the viscometer module 100 can be made such as by integrally making a portion of the stator connector with the module and attaching the remaining portions of the stator connector to the module, and such are within the practice of the present invention.
In reference to FIGS. 1-5 and 6 & 7, the stator connector 300 has semi-cylindrical attacment member 310 to be attached to standard cylindrical viscometer lower end 120 of viscometer module 120 such as with the Model TAV-2 rotating viscometer module available from Tannas Co., Midland, Mich., although other shapes of the attachment member 310 are possible, which preferably conform to the shape of the lower end 120. Attachment may be by attaching screw 311, which is threaded to mate with tapped lower end attachment hole 121. Attached to or integral with the attachment member 310 is base plate 320, which is generally oriented horizontally and normal to the attachment member 310, and upon which rests a bottom surface 122 of the lower end 120 of the viscometer module 100. Leveling screw holes 321, generally three or four in number, and preferably four for greater stability, accommodate leveling screws 330. Bases 331 of the leveling screws 330 contact top surface 150 of viscometer 1000, which has a hole 151 therein to permit insertion of the shaft 130 and/or its attachments to include rotor spindle 140 as in stator 280 to be inserted into temperature control bath liquid 160 of the viscometer 1000 for testing. O-ring 340 or other flexible washer may be present to seal top of the stator 280. It is in base opening 350, having a primary hole 351, a larger, stator-accommodating recess 352 and perhaps an O-ring groove 353, that the washer 340 is placed. A stator lip retaining ledge 354, which need not extend a great distance circumferentially and thus maybe at a generally localized position, is retained at the boundary of the opening. The ledge 354 extends inside the lateral, or horizontally extending, depth of the portion of the stator-accommodating recess 352 proximate thereto. Movable ledge 360 can clip lip 281 of a stator 280 such as by lever action and contact with the underside of the lip 281 while the underside of the opposing portion of the lip 281 is held by the stationary stator lip retaining ledge 354. Preferably, the ledges 354 & 360 oppose one another at a 180-degree or so position. The movable ledge 360 can be of a resilient or spring-like material or be spring loaded. Inert gas blanket introduction connection 370, for example, a LUER-LOCK TYGON plastic tubing air adapter, can be present with inert gas blanket conduit 371 to provide for relatively slow introduction of an inert gas, for example, dry air or nitrogen, for a blanket over test liquid 99 in the stator 280. Exit of the inert gas as during testing is by leakage from the Brookfield viscometer module above the introduction site. In additional reference to FIGS. 6 & 7, downwardly extending, stationary ledge member 355 and downwardly extendable, movable ledge member 365, for example, movable by pivoting, can assist in providing lateral support to opposite sides of the stator 280.
In reference to FIGS. 8-10, and in supplement to the foregoing, attachment member 310 and base plate 320 as found in embodiments depicted in FIGS. 1-7 are not necessary. Rather, two L-shaped stator retention members 450 oppose each other at a distance suitable for insertion and retention of a stator 280 by lip 281. Each stator retention member 450 defines a stator-accommodating-retaining recess 452 and stator lip retaining, stationary ledge 454. Accommodation may be made for a washer or O-ring 340, and so forth. Leveling nuts 430 have bases 431, which contact the top surface 150 of the viscometer 1000. The leveling nuts are screwed on to threaded studs 433, which are positioned in the lower end 120 of the viscometer module 100 of the viscometer 1000. This embodiment employs the bayonet-attachment principle.
In reference to FIG. 11, stator 280 has lip portion 281 and chordate lip 282. This stator is especially useful in an improved viscometer as one having the two L-shaped stator retention members 450 as depicted in FIGS. 8-10. Therein, this stator 280 is filled with test fluid and pulled up over rotor 140 attached to viscometer module 100 with its chordate lip portions passing up by and clearing the stationary ledges 454 until the top of the stator contacts any washer or O-ring 340. There the stator is rotated about ninety degrees, as generally depicted in FIG. 11, so that the lip portions 281 are moved into the stator-accommodating-retaining recesses 452 and held up by the stationary ledges 454.
In reference to FIGS. 12 & 13, stator 280 with wide lip 283 is retained in place through stator-retaining nuts 434. The threaded studs 433 go through stator lip retaining holes 284.
In additional reference to FIGS. 8, 14, 10, 12, 15, 17 an inert gas exit orifice 380 provides for exit of inert gas through exit conduit 381 as during testing. This can provide for efficient flushing of the void space above the test liquid 99 in the stator 280 in provision of the inert gas blanket.
In reference to FIG. 14, stator 280 may have wide lip 283 and stator lip retaining holes 284 so as to be usable with a viscometer and stator connector as depicted in FIG. 12. This stator 280 has inert gas entry port 285 and inert gas exit port 286 for provision of an inert gas blanket, bypassing the need for inert gas connections and conduits in a viscometer module or a stator connector apparatus themselves.
In reference to FIGS. 15-17, the stator connector 300 has parts generally akin to the stator collar and nut pieces of the invention of Van Meter et al., Ser. No. 08/308,918. The present connector 300 includes collar 470 with lips or ears 471 proximate the top thereof. Inner cylindrical surface 154 of the stator collar is dimensioned to receive and encircle an upper end or lip 281 of the stator 280. The present connector 300 includes wall 480 which is externally threaded 481 in a lower portion thereof. The threaded wall is perforately slotted so as to provide by each slot an opening from the exterior to the interior of the wall, and preferably thus form fingers from a plurality of axially-directed slots. The wall has means to accept pressure and direct it inwardly such as, for example, may be provided by suitably tapered threads, or other surfaces, which may include protrusions, for example, a nut retaining lip 483 on the stator collar 470, which may be squared, rounded or beveled at its lower, distal end 484, and capable of receiving the pressure and to have it directed inwardly. Such a pressure-receiving protrusion can be provided by a first, lower thread from among threads 481. As well, the present connector 300 has a nut 490, which is correspondingly, internally threaded 491 for attachment by threading about the threaded, slotted wall 480. The nut 490 has means to exert guiding pressure on the means to accept pressure of the wall 480 so as to cause it to be directed inwardly by tightening of the nut such as, for example, may be provided by suitably reverse tapered threads, or other surfaces, which may include ramps or other suitable protrusions such as an internal reverse bevel 494. This generally causes snug contact between the lower interior surface 154 of the support member and the exterior cylindrical surface of a typical stator. In the collar 470, an external radial recess may be present for receiving a protrusion 485 of the nut 490. In the nut 490, an internal radial recess 493 may be present for receiving the protrusion 484 of the stator collar. The collar 470 is inserted into position between L-shaped stator retention members 450. Each stator retention member 450 defines a stator-accommodating-retaining recess 452 and stator lip retaining, stationary ledge 454. Ramps 455 apply upward pressure upon turning of collar 470 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 16. Accommodation may be made for a washer or O-ring 340, and so forth. Again, leveling screws 330, inserted into integral or attached base plate 420, have bases 331, which contact the top surface 150 of the viscometer 1000. The base plate 420 can be attached to lower end 120 of the viscometer module 100 by countersunk screws 421. THIS embodiment employs the bayonet-attachment principle.
In reference to FIG. 18, the sator connector 300 has upright wall 422, which may house lower end 120 of the viscometer 100, projecting from the leveling base 420, which concludes in an upper base 420 which is attached to the viscometer module 100 directly by means of suitable fasteners, for example, screws 424. Lower end 120 of the viscometer module 100 is bypassed and may be removed. Other features of this connector to secure the stator are present, for example, such as those present and described for the stator connector depicted in FIGS. 15-17.
In reference to FIGS. 19-22, the stator connector 300 preferably has parts of the stator collar and nut of the invention of Van Meter et al., Ser. No. 08/308,918, i.e., stator collar 170 and nut 190. These are attached to a base 520, which may be, for example, of 3/8-inch aluminum, by means of screw 550, which screws into the collar 170, which is preferably made of DELRIN acetal homopolymer resin. The screw passes through upright support 530, which can be attached, for example, as in FIG. 20 by welds 521 if the base 520 and support 530 are both of metal, for example, aluminum. Preferably, as in FIG. 21, screws 522 secure support 530 into the base 520. Gluing, screwing, press fitting, riveting, and so forth are alternatives as well as is casting or molding the base and support in one piece. The upright support, base and collar assembly are attached to lower end 120 of the viscometer module 100, which lower end may be termed the rotor housing, as by screw 540 or other fastener. In practice, a screw 540, for example, a 1/4-inch 28-threads-to-the-inch screw, passes through threaded hole 536 and into threaded hole 126 of the rotor housing 120 to fasten the base and support 520 & 530 to the rotor housing of a standard rotating viscometer such as the Model TAV-2 available from the Tannas Co., Midland, Mich., and the collar, nut and stator assembly is attached and removed thereafter in test set up and take down. Again, provision is made for leveling screws 330, which may have base 331. The rotor housing 120 may be attached to the viscometer module 100 with screws which pass through holes 124. The upright support 530 may have arms 531 which have bevels 532 to engage a part of the lower end 120 of the viscometer 100 and collar 170, to align and center these. Screw 550 may be accompanied by spring 551 for piloting into partially threaded barrel 535, for example, as in a stepped barrel with spring ejected 1/4-inch 28-threads-to-the-inch thumbscrew, which then engages corresponding threads 151 of the collar 170. Gas passage 580 may be present. Gas passage 680 may be present in the collar 170. Gas passage pin 581 helps locate collar 170 by use of passage 680 for easier attachment. Preferably, six slots 182 make six fingers 183 to provide for ease of applying inwardly directed pressure upon tightening of the nut 190. For example, the base 520 and support 530 may have the following dimensions:
______________________________________Feature Dimension in Inches______________________________________Width 560 3.5Length 561 4.0Distance 562 1.5Width 563 0.5Radius 564 0.950Distance 565 0.25Width 566 1.5Length 567 0.5______________________________________
Also, for example, the rotor housing 120, collar 170, and nut 190 may have the following dimensions:
______________________________________Feature Dimension in Inches______________________________________Diameter 600 2.375Diameter 601 1.625Height 602 1.625Diameter 603 0.47Diameter 604 1.875Diameter 605 1.875Chamfer 606 0.625Diameter 607 1.375Height 608 0.875Hole Diameter 609 0.275Chamfer 610 0.625Height 611 0.375Height 612 1.125Height 613 0.125Height 614 0.090Diameter 615 1.070Height 616 0.375Height 617 1.00Diameter 618 1.13Diameter 619 1.150Height 620 0.59U-Cut Height 621 0.125U-Cut Diameter 622 1.250Height 623 0.090Diameter 624 1.080Diameter 625 1.510______________________________________
Threads 181, for example, may be provided at 12-per-inch with an 0.054-inch thread surface and a 1.250-inch outside diameter. Angle 650, for example, may be a 60-degree angle, and angle 651, for exaample, maybe a 30-degree angle. Such dimensions and angles may be approximated.
In general, the stator connector components may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials such as engineering plastics, metals, glass, and so forth. They may be made by methods known in the art to include casting, molding, cutting, drilling, machining, milling, gluing, welding, pinning, riveting, screwing, and so forth and the like.
In general, the stator 280 may be of a standard length or of a length longer than standard stators for employment with sensitive rotating viscometers. They may be made of glass, plastic or metal, but preferably are of glass, and may be made by methods known in the art as those skilled therein appreciate.
Accordingly, from the foregoing and with reference to the drawings, especially FIGS. 11, 13, 14 & 16, and figures ancillary thereto, the following embodiments of the invention are provided:
A. A stator for a sensitive rotating viscometer, which stator comprises a hollow tube housing having an open top, a closed bottom and a side wall set extending from the open top to the closed bottom such that the stator can contain a liquid test sample therein, with a wide lip extending outwardly, generally normal to the tube housing at the top thereof, with an inner lip boundary and an outer lip boundary defined by the wide lip, and with at least one stator retaining hole positioned in the lip between the inner lip boundary and the outer lip boundary. A plurality of such holes may be present.
B. A stator for a sensitive rotating viscometer, which stator comprises a hollow tube housing having an open top, a closed bottom and a side wall set extending from the open top to the closed bottom such that the stator can contain a liquid test sample therein; and at least one of (i) lip ears, which form a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly, generally normal to the tube housing at the top thereof, in addition to a lip extending outwardly, generally normal to the tube housing at the top thereof, with an inner lip boundary and an outer lip boundary defined by the lip ears and the lip; and (ii) lip ears as above, and which can be formed as or termed a chordate lip, with there being a place where there is no lip extension--wherein, in any case, no stator retaining hole is found between said inner and outer lip ear or lip boundaries.
Such stator embodiments may have an orifice present in the tube housing in a side wall thereof, useful for introduction of an inert gas, and further a second orifice present in the tube housing in a side wall thereof, useful for exit of the inert gas. Again, the stator may be made of glass.
As well, from the foregoing and with reference to the drawings, especially FIGS. 8-11 & 16, and figures ancillary thereto, in general, the stator connector may employ the bayonet-attachment principle, where a part of a stator having lip ears or of a stator collar having lip ears is inserted into the stator connector and, with a twist of the inserted part, is attached to the stator connector. Such a stator connector has stator retention members to go under the lip ears of the part above which the lip ears reside after the insertion. This stator can be connected to the sensitive rotating viscometer module through the bayonet-attachment-principle-type stator connector which can be attached to the lower end of the module.
The present invention is thus provided. Numerous modifications can be effected within its spirit, the literal claim scope of which is particularly pointed out as follows:

00AM, NATIONAL LIBRARY, THE POD Thank you for coming. Several of you came early to read the report. We do not have to go through the details of the report. But my colleagues and I will highlight some of the issues that we feel merit emphasis. Let me first say that the ESC process has been very useful. I would like to thank my fellow members in the committee, plus the many sub-committee members and working group members. Besides the members of these various groups - who totaled 230 - many other individuals, businesses and associations who contributed their views to the report - about 1,100 people contributed views through various channels. I would like to thank them all for contributing to a valuable process. We have worked on our key recommendations over the last 7 months, since we first met in early July. We decided to come out with our key recommendations early, ahead of the 2010 Budget, and while the economy is still on the recovery. This way, we can reposition ourselves early, starting with this year, for our next phase of growth and development. The ESC has submitted its recommendations to the Government. The Government has accepted the key thrusts of the Report and will spell out its specific responses in the Budget Speech and the Committee of Supply Debate that will take place three weeks from now. This will be an exceptional decade – a decade that is unusual both for its opportunities and its challenge. Our assessment is that the next five to ten years will provide greater opportunities for growth in the world around us than any of the past decades that we have seen – greater opportunities for companies to grow. But at the same time, we will also see greater constraints on growth than we have had in the past. In particular, because of a slower growing workforce, and over time too because we will run up against the limits of our land. We will also have to use energy more efficiently, diversify our sources of energy and play our role over time as a responsible member of the international community in reducing carbon emissions. So we will see greater opportunities than before; greater constraints than before. How do we overcome this and ensure that we continue to get good income growth for individual citizens and good business growth? It will require a change in the way we work - how we create value. And it will require that our companies expand overseas to make the most of the opportunities that match their strengths. This leads us to our central recommendation, which is to grow based on skills, innovation and productivity rather than by expanding our use of resources and especially by expanding employment in every business, every sector year after year.
This is the way in which we can still grow individual workers' incomes. In particular, the focus on productivity, skills, and innovation is the best way we can ensure that those at the lower end of the income ladder can also move up. This is the best way to ensure that growth is inclusive in Singapore. Next we had to consider how fast we can grow. The key here being how fast we can grow productivity. In the last decade we grew productivity by 1%, which was too low. We had achieved more rapid growth prior to the last decade, but that was when we were at the lower stage of development – less use of technology, and more scope for catch up. We were operating at the lower level of capabilities, so it was easier to achieve rapid productivity growth. So what can be achieved in the next five to ten years? Few countries at our level of development have achieved productivity growth exceeding 2% per year over a full decade. Some have achieved this for individual sectors - manufacturing, services, financial services, construction - but not for the economy as a whole, and over a full period of a decade - not just a spurt of three to four years. But we think we can exceed 2% productivity growth on average. We can grow productivity by 2% to 3% per year for the next ten years, thereby taking productivity up to a level that is one third higher than where it is today. This can be achieved because we are capable of a major national effort. We are capable of doing this consistently and in a concerted fashion with everyone playing their part – the Government, the unions, businesses, individuals playing their part. We believe Singapore can achieve this. What matters to individuals, what matters to the Singaporeans, is really productivity growth. If we can raise productivity, we can raise incomes. We achieved 1% in the last decade, we can achieve 2% to 3% per year in the next decade. It will mean higher real incomes. And in particular, as we raise the skills of those at the lower end of the workforce, we help them move up. We should aim to get into this virtuous cycle of better skills, better jobs and higher wages and incomes. That is very simply our objective. But there is no short cut to raising skills - no short cut for companies to be able to create value through improved skills and productivity. It takes time. We look at the way the Germans have achieved this, year after year, decade after decade - patiently building up skills, investing now in workers, investing now in new technologies and innovation, not because it yields immediate results but because they know it gives them an unassailable lead several years down the road. They keep building on it. And there are many other examples, like in services and in the construction industry examples of world leaders in each industry who invest today in order to reap rewards much further down the road. So it requires a perspective that is different from before
- not going for immediate gains, but building up the ability to create value and surpass the competition five years from now. I want to emphasise two themes that cut across the Report, before my colleagues elaborate on the specific key recommendations. The first theme is this. What this amounts to is a major investment in our people, – an investment that would require a partnership in the broadest sense between the Government, people and businesses. The Government will have to provide strong support, both for workers and businesses. But everyone has to play their part. The initiatives will have to take place on the national level, at the sectoral level, at the level of each enterprise, and with each individual citizen. It must be a comprehensive approach to investing in skills, capabilities and expertise. At the national level, we have an opportunity to develop an outstanding system for continuous education and training - top quality and affordable. This is our next major investment in our people. We already have a very strong education system, and are constantly improving its quality - everything from pre-primary up to the tertiary level, where opportunities are being broadened. Quality being infused year after year. But on top of this, we must move to the next phase – investing in working adults throughout their careers. We have to do this up and down the skills ladder. Every level, every profession, every skill can and must be upgraded. Singaporeans are known for being clean, competent, thorough, efficient. We must go to the next level where we have mastery of skills and depth of expertise, whatever the job we do. We have to do this in every profession, including our higher pay professions, at the lower end of the skills ladder. So up and down the ladder, this is going to be a major investment in our people. Companies have to play their role. They have a key responsibility, to invest in their people. There are examples around us - companies in every industry which are investing in their people. I visited one a few weeks ago – Hamilton Sundstrand, in the aerospace industry. They have something they call the Employee Scholar Programme, where any employee can choose to take any course leading to a diploma, a Bachelor degree or a Masters in any field (it need not be aerospace) and the company will sponsor the employee for the course. They started this in 2005, they now have 82 employees who have taken up their scholarships – 23 diplomas, 36 Bachelors, 23 Masters. The company spent $1.7million. Employees are more satisfied, more motivated, and of course are armed with higher skills, higher proficiencies. Even SMEs can do that. Atlas is one of them. They retail sound systems. They have already supported one senior manager through his MBA at NTU. They are aiming to do the same for another manager. They are also working with WDA and Ngee Ann
Polytechnic to send their front line employees out for Diploma courses. This is an example amongst SMEs. Every individual too has to take the initiative. Everyone has to be responsible for upgrading their own skills, taking their talents to the maximum, and developing mastery. Not just competence, but mastery of what they are doing. However, employers have to recognise that at the end of the day, productivity is about motivation. You have to reward your people fairly, and reward skills. But you also have to motivate. It is not rocket science but something which all of us observe every day in the workplace. People work better, and work smarter when they think that what they do is important, and they like what they are doing. So motivating our employees is critical, not just investing in the technologies and equipment and the processes. That is the first theme that I wanted to highlight – that this will amount to a major investment in our people. The second theme has to do with the restructuring of the economy. We cannot grow at the same rate that we achieved in the last decade. We are unlikely to achieve 5% on average, or more than 5% in the next decade. With the slowing labour force growth, even with higher productivity growth of 2 to 3% per year, we think that 3% to 5% GDP growth would be good growth. But what this must mean is an increased emphasis on the restructuring of the economy. There are two reasons for this. First, it is the way in which we can allow competitive businesses to grow faster. 3 to 5% growth per year does not mean every business growing by 3% to 5%. It means competitive businesses growing much faster, seizing opportunities. And that will happen if we provide them the room to grow. They must be able to get employees, the land and other resources, so that they can grow. We must therefore let market forces work, so that restructuring takes place and competitive businesses can grow faster. With slower growth of the workforce and 3 to 5% GDP growth per year, less efficient industries and enterprises will either have to upgrade or gradually phase themselves out. The second reason is that economic restructuring is also the way in which we achieve this leap in productivity, that is, one third higher, ten years from now. If we do not restructure our economy step by step over the next five to ten years – in other words, enabling more efficient and more dynamic industries to grow faster and get more resources than the rest – we will not achieve this leap in productivity. Restructuring across sectors and across enterprises is as important as improvements and innovation within each enterprise, and within industries.
So I want to emphasis those two themes – this is a major opportunity to invest in our people; it is also going to be an opportunity to restructure our economy so as to enable growth. I will now ask several of my colleagues who have co-chaired the Subcommittees to speak on their key recommendations, starting with Minister Gan Kim Yong, who cochaired the Subcommittee on Fostering Inclusive Growth.

You caught the flavor, Mary! I loved riding the El when I was a girl. I grew up about 70 miles northwest of Chicago, but I had relatives in the city, also doctors and a dentist. We'd usually combine a trip to any with a visit to Marshall Fields. How things have changed! (We also saw more things in Chicago than my Chicago relatives ever did!)

I want to export an image of my ArcGIS map object with the graphics layer on it. I've tried esri's own web services for export but they're not so efficient and clear, not supporting complex geometric shapes also they're not support local layers such as Google map provider. Service supports only ArcGISTiledLayer i want it in all layers. So, i searched in their forums but they say they won't support local layers until next versions.
I've tried ImageTool libraries and WritableBitmapEx libraries in codeplex. But when i try to get byte[] from a WritableBitmap i can not access its Pixels property for some security reasons all the time. Application throws a SecurityException and says that 'you can't access this pixels property'.
So, is there any way for get a UIElement control's image and save it to the disk? Or is there a workaround for this security exception?

Moab, kingdom, ancient Palestine. Located east of the Dead Sea in what is now west-central Jordan, it was bounded by Edom and the land of the Amorites. The Moabites were closely related to the Israelites, and the two were frequently in conflict. The Moabite Stone, found at Dibon, recorded the 9th-century-bce victories of the Moab king Mesha, especially those over Israel. Moab was conquered by the Babylonians in 582 bce.

Single-Leg Rotation
You'll need a set of 3- or 5-pound dumbbells and a step bench. Targets quads, glutes, hamstrings, hips and abs. Do 10 reps on each leg.
-Single-Leg Rotation: You'll need a pair of 3- or 5-pound dumbbells. Stand facing away from a step bench or stairs and place the toes of your left foot on the step. Keeping your upper body straight, bend your right knee 90 degrees and rotate your torso to the right. Return to start. You'll do 10 reps on this leg before switching sides. Make sure your front knee is aligned with your ankle. When you rotate, bring the dumbbells over the outside of your right thigh. Single-leg rotations target your quadriceps, hamstrings, gluts, hips, and obliques or side abdominal muscles. After you've completed 10 reps, switch sides and do 10 more reps with your left leg in front. If you wanna make this move easier, try doing the rotations without dumbbells and bend your front knee only 45 degrees.

Mayor: James Brown movie will create 300 local jobs
NATCHEZ — Mayor Butch Brown said Tuesday the recently announced James Brown biopic film set to film in Natchez is expected to create 300 jobs for the city.
Brown announced the number of jobs at the Natchez Board of Aldermen meeting and said he was pleased the filmmakers chose Natchez as a filming location.
Brown said the movie's director, Tate Taylor, told him that Natchez has everything the film needs in a location. Brown said he thinks Natchez has the right people in town to help make the film successful, too.
"We have the best location people here. We have people who know about wardrobe, people who know about lighting, about history," he said.
Taylor, who directed the Academy Award-nominated film "The Help," officially announced Monday in Jackson that the James Brown film would be shot in Natchez and Jackson.
Taylor said every frame of the movie would be shot in Mississippi, including scenes set in Paris and Vietnam.
Taylor grew up in Jackson and now has a home in Church Hill, a community north of Natchez.
Mississippi Go. Phil Bryant said at Monday's announcement the filming would begin this fall in Natchez and Jackson, including filming at the Mississippi Coliseum on the state fairgrounds, where James Brown performed a concert in February 1969.
The producers have committed to working with the state's WIN Job Centers to hire extras and qualified crewmembers.
Variety reported Tuesday that actor Chadwick Boseman, who played Jackie Robinson in "42," will be portraying James Brown in the film.
The film will depict James Brown's life from when he was nearly 5 years old and will extend to 1993. Other than that, Taylor said people will have to "buy a ticket and come see it" to find out more about the movie.
