A Rosh Hashanah tweet from Liverpool Football Club was removed after it received a barrage of antisemitic abuse online.
The club tweeted on Thursday night: "Liverpool FC would like to wish all our Jewish supporters around the world a happy new year. #RoshHashanah."
While the BDS movement tried to take credit for Uefa's decision not to name Jerusalem as one of the 13 host cities for the Euro 2020 tournament, the ruling has a lot more to do with the incompetence of the IFA, Israel's national football association, than political considerations.
Jerusalem's Teddy Stadium made it to the shortlist of 19, but was dropped due to the fact that the bid issued by th
Pro-Israel groups gathered outside the Qatar embassy in London in a bid to challenge its support of terrorist organisations.
More than 50 pro-Israel supporters held up placards at the protest co-organised by Sussex Friends of Israel (SFI) and the Israeli Forum Task Force.
Football's European governing body, Uefa, is investigating after an antisemitic banner was displayed by supporters of the Serbian club Partizan Belgrade.
The banner, which was on show throughout Thursday's Europa League match against Tottenham Hotspur in Belgrade, read "Only Jews and Pussies", thought to be a play on the title of the BBC sitcom, "Only Fools and Horses".
Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has been reported to the FA after a series of racist and homophobic text messages were found by police, according to the Daily Mail.
Referring to Jewish football agent Phil Smith, a text from his phone said: "Go on fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that see money slipping through his fingers".
Hola, mi compadres Ingles. Welcome to week three of my World Cup diary, and what a week it has been for Colombia.
On Friday, we became victorious over the Ivory Coast and so on to the final group partido against Japan. Of course, we were already qualificado for the next phase of the competition so the game not so important.
Hola, my friends in Great Britain. So, a magnificent weekend for my players, for Colombia and for my chances of making it home in one piece — 3-0 victory over Greece. ¡Olé!
In last week's diary I said I walk to the stadium because it was Shabbat on day of el gran partido. It was joke of course, but I wish now I did.
Spurs fans who use the term "yid" are unlikely to face criminal prosecution, police have conceded.
Constable Steve Payne told a meeting of Tottenham Hotspur fans that using the Y-word was no longer an arrestable offence.
But he also said that fans could still face charges if a complaint was made that the term had been used in a pejorative way.
The sheer passion of football supporters was famously expressed by the former Liverpool manager, Bill Shankly. Explaining his attitude to the game, he said, "Football isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that."
Hull City striker Yannick Sagbo will be suspended for the first two games of the Premier League season following his support for Nicolas Anelka's infamous quenelle gesture.
Sagbo had claimed Anelka was a "legend" when he performed the antisemitic sign during a match last December.

It's pizza time, dudes! Well, not quite yet, but Activision and Red Fly recently revealed that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" will be slicing its way to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC download queues very soon.
The four-player online co-op brawler doesn't necessarily follow the story of the current animated series airing on Nickelodeon, but the "hyper-realistic 3D-style" is clearly inspired by the show. Judging from the trailer above and the screenshots below, Red Fly seems to be re-introducing a darker breed of Turtle in the game, which could be very interesting considering this is the first title in a three game deal with Activision.
The trailer doesn't give too much away in terms of gameplay, but the proposed "skill-based combat system built around combo-driven action" sounds promising in comparison to the simplistic controls found in recent remakes such as "Turtles in Time."
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" will be available on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam this summer.

I'm running a Synology NAS Server,
and I'm trying to use PHP to get the filesize of files.
I'm trying to find a function that will successfully calculate the filesize of files over 4Gb.
filesize($file); only works for files <2Gb
sprintf("%u", filesize($file)); only works for files <4Gb
I also tried another function that I found on the php manual, but it doesn't work properly.
It randomly works for certain file sizes but not for others.
function fsize($file) {
// filesize will only return the lower 32 bits of
// the file's size! Make it unsigned.
$fmod = filesize($file);
if ($fmod < 0) $fmod += 2.0 * (PHP_INT_MAX + 1);
// find the upper 32 bits
$i = 0;
$myfile = fopen($file, "r");
// feof has undefined behaviour for big files.
// after we hit the eof with fseek,
// fread may not be able to detect the eof,
// but it also can't read bytes, so use it as an
// indicator.
while (strlen(fread($myfile, 1)) === 1) {
fseek($myfile, PHP_INT_MAX, SEEK_CUR);
// $i is a multiplier for PHP_INT_MAX byte blocks.
// return to the last multiple of 4, as filesize has modulo of 4 GB (lower 32 bits)
if ($i % 2 == 1) $i--;
// add the lower 32 bit to our PHP_INT_MAX multiplier
return ((float)($i) * (PHP_INT_MAX + 1)) + $fmod;
Any ideas?

If i had something else going that way i would do the piano as a present for the seniors. Unfortunately I don't that was why i said bidding on the others. However,it wad for all. happy holidays.

Brent: From having moved between several cities several times in my career in academia, I'm not sure that I'm getting your calculation formula. You've quoted a rate that's more than my move from Richmond to Norfolk VA where my moved boxed, wrapped, transported, and unloaded everything from my 1 br apartment including appliances. I'll assume your costs are inflated because you're coming from an area far, far, away from Hampton Roads.
Bid placed 11/26/2013 1:02 PM CST
Canceled on 11/27
Waaaay too high Brent...Ive moved this piano twice myself. Once in a standaed box, again in a ryder with lift. The job isn't that complex. Perhaps youre coming from a distance which inflates your cost. I also have a side by side fridge, china cabinet, and washer dryer that need to go to one of my houses seven miles from the senior facility. Perhaps youd want to quote the combined job.
Hello Anthony thanks for checking back in with me. Moving pianos is a job I will need 2 or 3 of my staff to do and with travel time it adds up. We do good work as you can see and I don't wont to over price you for the work and under look what needs to be don. I will send in a new bid for the piano and a bid for all your other items and you can let me know if that meet your needs thanks

Remember Singapore!
Dubai moves to curb property speculation with bankers spooked by memories of the late '90s
August 28, 2008 12:39 by kippreport
Scott MacMillan
A new UAE law issued this week intends to reduce the influence of short-term speculators on the property market, which remains searing hot even after years of growth. The law requires registration of sales of off-plan properties – that is, properties that are not yet built and exist only on paper – with the Land Department prior to being "flipped," or re-sold on the secondary market.
Good move, but not enough, says the bank Standard Chartered: "The changes above will not be enough on their own to deter short term speculation and the 'flipping' of properties, but they are at least an indication that the regulators are indeed looking at ways of improving the overall business environment in the property market," the bank said in a note Monday.
Last month Standard Chartered issued a set of recommendations designed to curb speculation. To start, the bank says government should introduce a capital gains tax on properties bought and sold within a period of 12 months.
Developers have praised the government's move, saying it will reduce volatility, thereby instilling some measure of confidence in a market whose performance has caused a number of jaws to hit the sand.
Many developers are also following another of the bank's recommendations on their own, requiring buyers to pay 20 to 30 percent of the property value before they can re-sell.
Why the sudden concern over speculation? What was once tacitly accepted as a sign of Dubai's robust growth seems to have become a bogeyman lately.
Bankers with short memories are spooked by the US real estate correction, while those with longer ones recall, with some dread, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, when a group of booming property markets went through their first proper boom-and-bust cycle.
At the start of 2007, many said the Dubai property boom was at or nearing its peak, and that a looming oversupply meant a plateau or correction – if not an outright crash – was in the making. Funny that: Prices have risen 79 percent since then, according to Morgan Stanley. Rents have risen accordingly, as punters searching for accommodation will surely tell you.
Oddly enough, the proven inability of experts to accurately predict future property fluctuations hasn't stopped the local press from issuing headlines oozing with drop-dead certainty.
Here's the Khaleej Times: "Property prices to peak in 2009," the daily flatly told us yesterday.
The misleading headline was based on a Reuters poll, which surveyed 10 financial analysts and came up with the following median forecast: Prices will jump 35 percent again this year before leveling off with a relatively modest 8.5 percent rise in 2009. Individual analysts' predictions varied hugely. In fact, only five of nine analysts (apparently one of the 10, wisely, did not answer the question) said property prices would peak in 2009 – hardly a ringing majority, even putting aside the paltry size of the polling sample.
Morgan Stanley, the investment bank, meanwhile issued a research note earlier this month warning that the long-feared oversupply would finally start putting downward pressure on prices next year. The note predicted that prices would fall 10 percent by 2010 as supply growth finally starts to outpace surging demand.
A Singapore-style crash is unlikely, the investment bank added, yet it looms as a worst-case scenario. The concern echoes the fears of other bankers who are increasingly vocal about local banks' exposure to a potential property price correction.
Dubai is increasingly reminding bankers of the late 1990s, when property prices in boomtown Singapore plummeted some 80 percent in dollar terms over a mere 18 months following a financial crisis that began with the crash of the Thai baht in 1997 and then spread like a bug.
Comparisons with the Southeast Asian statelet are complicated by the fact that Singapore's currency was free-floating during the 1997 crash. In local terms, prices therefore actually fell "only" about 30 to 40 percent, with the Singaporean dollar absorbing the rest.
In the Gulf today, on the other hand, the UAE dirham would almost certainly appreciate were it to be cut loose from its dollar peg, buoyed as it is by an economy flush with liquidity and triple-digit oil prices.
Economic logic may suggest this upward pressure on the dirham may be one thing shielding property prices from a massive crash, but we'll leave it at that: Unlike some local dailies, Kipp doesn't possess superpower specs that reveal future movements of the market's invisible hand.

One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

3 Claims. (Cl. 200-81.9)
This invention relates to the field of electrical switching apparatus and, more particularly, to electrical switching mechanisms of a type adapted for employment in applications where the switch must be responsive to flow of fluid or similar parameters of a fluid system.
It is an important object of the apparatus to provide such switching apparatus which is adapted for use in connection with high pressure fluid systems and in surroundings where the overall apparatus must be rendered explosion proof by isolation of the electrical parts from communication with the fluid system to Whose parameter the switch is to be responsive.
Another important object of the invention is to provide such switching apparatus in which the necessity of using conventional isolating means, such as diaphragms, bellows, packing glands, or the like, is avoided.
Another important object of the invention is to provide such switching apparatus in which magnetically cooperable parts, which may be isolated in a fluid sense from each other by means of rigid structure without affecting their magnetic operability, are employed.
In order to illustrate the principles of the invention and their wide applicability in presenting switching apparatuses adapted to be responsive to certain parameters of a fluid system and to admit of various constructions, two embodiments showing currently preferred constructions will be described. One of such embodiments is adapted for direct mounting upon a pipe forming a part of a fluid system and responding to fluid flow through such pipe, while the other illustrative embodiment is adapted for connection with a fluid system by means of connectinglines for carrying to the apparatus the differential pressures to which the apparatus is adapted to respond.
Accordingly, it will be understood that there are a number of other specific objects of the invention, including certain significant details of construction, which will be 'made clear or become apparent as the following description of the illustrative, preferred embodiments of the invention progresses.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure '1 is a cross sectional view of a fragment of a fluid system pipe showing one embodiment of switching apparatus installed directly thereupon, the view being along a central, longitudinal section of the apparatus;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary elevational view taken on line Il-II of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view takenon line III-III of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary elevational view taken on line IV-IV of Fig. 1;
Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of another embodiment of switching apparatus contemplated by the invention;
Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is :a central cross sectional view taken on line VI'IVII of Fig. 6; and
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary cross sectional view taken on lineVIII-VIII of Fig. 6.
2,887,546 Patented May 19, 1959 Referring first to the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 1-4 inclusive, the improved, explosion proof, flow responsive, switching apparatus is generally designated by the numeral 10, while a pipe forming a part of the fluid system is generally designated by the numeral 12, and, as illustrated, is preferably horizontal at the zone thereof at which the switching apparatus 10 is associated therewith. The pipe 12 is threadably tapped as at 14 from its top side to receive the threads 16 of a lower, outer housing section 18 of the switching apparatus 10. A sufficient number of threads 16 are provided to engage with the threaded hole 14 to effect a fluid tight and explosion proof coupling between the pipe 12 and section 18.
The lower housing section 18 is provided with an elongated, generally cylindrical, substantially vertical bore 20 which is enlarged adjacent its upper end as at 22 to present an upwardly facing shoulder 24, the enlarged portion 22 of bore 20 also being provided with an annular groove 26 spaced above the shoulder 24. A generally cylindrical, hollow, inner casing 28 provided with an uppermost, outturned, annular flange portion 30 is received within the bore 20 of the lower section 18 with a lowermost part of the inner casing 28 extending below the outer housing section 18 and into the interior of the pipe 12. Inner casing 28 is held within the outer housing section 18 by means of a split retainer ring 32 engaging the top of flange portion 30 and received within the groove 26, a fluid tight seal being effected by means of a sealing O-ring 34 disposed and compressed between the lower extremity of flange portion 30 of casing 28 and the shoulder 24 of housing section 18 when the casing 28 is forced downwardly for emplacement of the retainer ring 32.
The inner casing 28 is closed at its lower extremity by a bottom wall 36 from which depend a pair of spaced cars 38 and 40 (see Fig. 2). Pivotally mounted by means of a pin 42 extending between the ears 38 and 40 is a device generally designated 44 and including a block 46 between the ears 38 and 40 and receiving the pin 42, fluid flow responsive structure in the nature of a paddle 48 secured to the block 46 as by a screw 50 and depending below the block 46 for imposition thereagainst of fluid flowing in the pipe 12, and an upstanding metallic element 52 suitably secured to the block 42 and normally extending up alongside a lower portion of the inner casing 28 which is preferably-exteriorly flattened as at 54. The device 46 is so proportioned that the weight of the paddle structure 48 will normally maintain the upstanding metallic element 52 against the flattened surface 54 of casing 28. However, when fluid is flowing within the pipe 12 in the direction indicated by the arrows 56 with suflicient force, the paddle 48 will swing in a clockwise direction as shown in Fig. 1 to move the element 52 away from the surface 54. It may be noted that the structure 48 is preferably L-shaped and includes an upper leg 58 adapted to serve as a stop by engagement with the bottom wall 36 ofcasing 28 when the device 44 nas been swung through an arc suflicient to move the metallic element 52 away from the surface 54 of casing 28 by a predetermined distance.
As will hereinafter become more apparent, it is essential to the principles of the invention that at least a portion of the element 52 as at 60 be of magnetically operable material and that at least a portion 62 of the casing 28 which is adjacently opposite the portion 60 of element 52 must be'formed of nonmagnetic material. In the illustrated embodiment, the portion 60 of element 52, or forthat matter'the entire element 52, will be understood to be formed of iron or the like, while the portion 62 of casing 28, or for that matter the entire casing 28, will be understood to be formed of brass, which-is nonmagnetic. In other suitable constructions, the casing might be of aluminum or plastic materials, for instance.
Within the casing 28 there is an elongated, upright, hollow chamber 64 within which is received an elongated member 66 that is pivoted adjacent its upper end by a pin as at 68. Asillustrated, the member 66 may include a .late'r ally turne d leg 70 to which amagnet 72, of preferablypermanent magnetic characteristics, is secured by means of a bolt 74, nut 76 and underlying washer 78. The member 66 itself is preferably formed of nonmagnetic material and is so proportioned that with the casing 28 disposed substantially vertically, the member 66 will hang V downwardly in a position spacing the magnet 72 from the portion 62 of casing 28 (note that in Fig. 1 the member 66 and magnet 72 are shown in an operative position swung away from the mentioned position which they would normally assume under the influence of gravity alone). An adjustment screw 80 may be mounted upon the member 66 for controlling the spacing of the magnet 7 2 fromthe nonmagnetic portion 62' of casing 28 when the member 66 and magnet72 are in their gravity conditioned position. h 1
The strength of the magnet 72, the spacing of the magnet 72 from the nonmagnetic wall portion 62 of casing 28 under the influence of gravity alone, the thickness of the casing 28 at the zone of the wall portion 62 thereof, and the mass of the magnetic portion 60 of element 52 forming a part of device 44, are so proportioned that, when the element 52 is in its gravity conditioned position against the flattened surface 54 of casing 28, the forces of attraction between the magnet 72 and the magnetic portion 60 of element 52 will exert a pull upon the magnet 72 suflicient to swing the same and the member 66 to the position illustrated in Fig. 1 in which the magnet 72 is against the side of chamber 64 adjacent the nonmagnetic wall 62 of casing 28. They are also so proportioned that, when the device 44 is swung under the influence of fluid flow against the paddle 48 to move the element 52 away from the surface 54, the force of attraction between magnet 72 and magnetic element portion 60 will become insufiicient to maintain the magnet 72 and the member 66 in the swung or operated position illustrated in Fig. l, and the magnet 72 and member 66 will swingclockwise, as shown in Fig. 1, away from the casing wall portion 62 .to a position spacing the magnet 72 from the latter, such action occurring after the forces of gravity acting upon the magnet 72 and member 66 exceed the magnetic forces of attraction between the magnet 72 and the magnetic portion 60 of element 52.
Thus, it will be clear that the member 66 is swung about its pivot 68 to and from an operative position at which it magnetically cooperates with the element '52 depending upon the positioning of the element 52 relative to the casing 28, which in turn is determined by the magnitude of the flow of fluid within the pipe 12 and the forces thereby imposed upon the paddle 48.
Such action of the member 66 is utilized for switching purposes by means of an electrical switching assembly generally designated 82, which may be a switch of the type currently available on the market under the designation Microswitch and which has a reciprocable actuating plunger element 84 and internal contact structure ,(not illustrated in detail, since it forms no part of the inventive concepts of the present invention). The switch -82 is mounted within the chamber 64 as by screws 86 and is provided with a number of terminals 88 in which corresponding wires 90 are attached. A male connecting plug assembly 92 having a number of pins 94 to which the wires 90 are secured in conventional fashion, is mounted at the top of the inner casing 28 by any suitable means such as an insulating plug 96 secured within the chamber 64 by a set screw 98. Obviously, the pins 94 are adapted to receive corresponding parts of a female connector plug (not shown), which in turn is adapted for coupling with connections leading to an external circuit to be controlled by the operation of the switch 82. To complete the explpsionproofandweatherproof insulation. ofthe apparatus 10, it is desirable to provide a cap-like, upper housing section 100 which may be releasably secured to the lower housing section 18 as by bolts 102. The upper housing section 100 is preferably provided with a cavity 104 for accommodating a female plug (not shown), connectible to the pins 94 of plug 92, with a threaded opening 106 communicating with the top of cavity 104 being provided for egress of electrical connecting conduit and the securement of same to the apparatus 10 in explosion proof fashion.
Obviously, the internal contact structure of the switch 82 may be chosen either to open or close the electrical circuit being controlled responsive to inward reciprocation of the plunger element 84 of switch 82. The switch 82 is so positioned within the casing 28 that such plunger element 84 will be shifted by a switch actuating element each time the member 66 swings from its gravity conditioned position to its magnetically operated position. It may also be noted that, if desired, the permanent magnet could be mounted on the element 52 of device 54 with the members 66 including either another permanent magnet 72 or simply a piece of magnetically attractable metal adjacent the nonmagnetic Wall zone 62 of casing 28.
Reference may next be made to the modified embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 5-8 inclusive. In this form of the invention, the switching apparatus is generally designated by the numeral 200. Apparatus 200 includes a cylindrical block 202 provided with an upright cylinder chamber 204 therewithin having a lower portion of enlarged diameter as at 206 presenting a downwardly facing shoulder 208. The bottom of chamber 204 is closed by a plate 210 secured to the block by bolts or the like 212, and by a sealing O-ring 214 received Within an upwardly facing annular groove 216 of the plate 210.
A pair of openings 218 (Fig. 7) and 220 (Fig. 8) communicate with the interior of the cylinder chamber 204 from the exterior of the block 202, the opening 218 entering the chamber 204 adjacent the bottom of the enlarged portion 206 thereof just above the plate 210, While the opening 220 enters the enlarged cylindrical portion 206 adjacent the top thereof and just below the downwardly facing shoulder 208.
A coupling 222 is provided on the block 202 in com municating relationship to the cylinder opening 218 for receiving a conduit 224 adapted for coupling with one fluid pressure source (not shown), and the block 202 is provided with a second coupling 226 communicating with the cylinder opening 220 and receiving a conduit 228 adapted for coupling with a second fluid pressure source. As will later become apparent, the embodiment of apparatus 200 is adapted for response to diflerentials of fluid pressure derived from virtually any types of sources thereof; however, in order to illustrate the utility of the apparatus 200 by reference to a particular application thereof, it may be imderstood that the conduit 224 would be couplable to an upstream port of a fluid carrying pipe (not shown) which is separated from a downstream port thereof coupled with the conduit 228 by means of a baflfie or the like (not shown) within the pipe to create a differential pressure corresponding to the fluid flow within the pipe. I
Mounted for vertical reciprocation within the enlarged portion 206 of cylinder chamber 204 is a piston 230 having an intermediate, outwardly extending, annular flange 232 which slidably engages the walls of cylinder portion 206, the piston being undercut beneath the flange 232 as at 235 to present a space 236 for entry of fluid from the opening 218 into the chamber portion 206 below the flange 232. As will be clear from Fig. 8, fluid from opening 220 enters the cylinder chamber portion 206 above the flange 232 so that the fluidpressures from openings 218 and 220 act oppositely against the flange 232 of piston 230. Obviously, when thepressure of fluid from opening 218 exceeds the pressure of fluid from opening 220, the piston 230 will tend to move upwardly within the chamber 204 and vice versa. A firusto-conical spring 234 is provided within the chamber portion 206 and bears oppositely against the downwardly facing shoulder 208 of block 202 and the upper surface of flange 232 of piston 230. The spring 234 is chosen so that a predetermined differential of pressure between the fluids coupled with the cylinder chamber 204 between openings 218 and 220 will be required before the resistance of spring 234 is overcome and the piston 230 moved upwardly by some predetermined amount within the chamber 204.
Carried atop the piston 230 and secured thereto by fastening means generally designated 236 is a permanent magnet 238. The upper extremity of the chamber 204 is closed by a wall portion 240 of block 202 which is of nonmagnetic material, such as brass, a normal construction being to form the entire block 202 of such nonmagnetic material.
A bracket 242 secured atop the block 202 in any suitable fashion, pivotally carries a device generally designated 244 by means of a pivot pin 246, the embodiment illustrated utilizing a device 244 which is J-shaped and formed to include a leg 248 directly above the nonmagnetic wall portion 240 of block 202. At least such leg 248 or a substantial portion thereof directly above the wall portion 240 must be formed of magnetically attractable material, as illustrated, or of material which is itself magnetized. A second bracket 250 secured atop block 202 supports the upper end of a coil spring 252 which is connected at its lower extremity to the device 244 for normally swinging the device 244 to a position spacing the leg 248 thereof above the wall portion 240 of block 202. Bracket 250 also carries in any suitable fashion, an electrical switch 254, which may be of the Microswitch variety having a depending, reciprocah-le actuating plunger element 256 normally engaging an upwardly facing surface 258 of device 244.
The strength of the permanent magnet 238, the spacing of the latter from the magnetically operable leg member 248, and the mass of the latter are so chosen that when the piston 230 is in its normal or unactuated position, as illustrated in Fig. 7, the device 244 wili remain biased upwardly under the influence of the spring 252 to the position illustrated in Fig. 7 wherein the magnetically operable leg member 248 of device 244 is spaced from the wall portion 240 of block 202. Such parameters are also chosen, however, so that, when the piston 230 is reciprocated upwardly a predetermined distance against the force of spring 234, the magnetic attraction between the magnet 238 and the member 248 will exceed the upwardly biasing force of the spring 252 on the device 244 and the device 244 will be swung downwardly about its pivot 246 until the leg member 248 is engaging the upper surface of block 202 above the wall portion 240 thereof. This swinging of the device 244, of course, reciprocates the plunger element 256 to operate the switch 254. Manifestly, as soon as the exertion of pressure differential of the fluid from opening 218 over that from opening 220 decreases to a point where the spring 234 reciprocates the piston and magnet 238 downwardly a sufficient distance, the upwardly biasing force of the spring 252 will overcome the forces of magnetic attraction between the magnet 238 and the member 248 and the device 244 will swing upwardly to the position illustrated in Fig. 7. It will be clear, therefore, that the pressure differential of the fluids from openings 218 and 220 control the reciprocation of the piston 230 and magnet 238 and thereby the positioning of the device 244 which in turn controls the reciprocation of the switch actuating plunger element 256.
Suitable lead wires 260 connected with the switch 254 pass downwardly through an Lshaped passage 262 in the block 202, suitable packing preferably being provided as at 264. A horizontal stretch 266 of the passage 262 is suitably threaded for receiving in explosion proof fashion a coupling 268 for an electrical conduit 270 which houses the wires 260 as they proceed to a point of connection with an external circuit.
An upper portion of the block 202 is cylindrical and is threaded as at 272 to receive an internally threaded, explosion proof cap 274 that covers and encloses the switch 254, the device 244 and the associated mechanism.
It will now be apparent that the principles and structure contemplated by the invention are ideally adapted for achieving all of the above-mentioned and other worthwhile objects. It will also be understood, however, that a number of modifications or changes could be made from the exact structure shown and described for illustrative purposes without departing from the true spirit and intention of the invention. Accordingly, the invention should be deemed limited only by the scope of the claims that follow.

HUDON, Charles-Henri
1930 - 2012
Charlie passed away on Tuesday, December 18th, 2012 in Pointe-Claire. Survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Thelma (nee Cliffe), he will be dearly missed by his children Michael, Mark (Kathy), Richard (Raquel), his grandchildren Jean-Paul, Matthew, Luc, Nicolas, Ben, Spencer, Alexandra(1994), Pierre and Charlotte, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Enormously proud of his roots, Charles-Henri was born into a large and loving family in St. Pacome, QC, where from an early age he showed signs of being the competitive athlete, accomplished businessman and philosopher king we would later come to love and appreciate. During the course of his forty- plus years in the oil business, Charlie became close personal friends with many of his associates, most of whom will remember him for his sound logic, fairness, sense of humour and unique golf swing. As a life-long lover of all things athletic, Charlie particularly enjoyed golf - eventually serving as President at Ile Perrot Golf and Country Club where he regularly shot other people's ages. For many years, the Hudon children were led to believe that the logo on the Montreal Canadiens jersey stood for "Charlie Hudon", in recognition of his career accomplishments achieved while playing with teams ranging from the St. Pacome Rockets, through the industrial leagues to the West Island Old Timers. Guided by common sense and a deep compassion uniquely his own, Chuck was a truly fantastic father whose wisdom and caring charm will live on in generations to come. Our dad was never happier than when he and Thelma were at the dinner table surrounded by his "boys" and their friends and family enthralled in debate, storytelling and laughter. Visitation will take place at Rideau Funeral Home, 4275 boul. des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC, 514-685-3344 on Friday, January 11, 2013 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

The fifth largest island in the world, the Baffin Island is located just west of Greenland. It is here that researchers have gauged Arctic temperatures, and the news is not comforting. The temperatures here are at their highest in 44,000 years, in a growing heating trend that can be traced to the 1970s.

Keywords: Baffin Island, Arctic, warming, research
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to researchers, the 315,999-square-kilometer Baffin Island's ice caps on the highlands rest on relatively flat terrain, usually frozen to their beds. According to a new study Average summer temperatures here are perhaps higher than at any time in the past 120,000 years.
The warmth there exceeds that of the Early Holocene era, researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder say. During that period, the amount of the sun's energy reaching the Northern Hemisphere in summer was roughly nine percent greater than today.
"The key piece here is just how unprecedented the warming of Arctic Canada is," Professor Gifford Miller said. A fellow at CU-Boulder's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research who led the study, Miller says that "This study really says the warming we are seeing is outside any kind of known natural variability, and it has to be due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
Along with his colleagues, Miller used dead moss clumps emerging from melting ice caps from the island as tiny calendars. Boasting of four different ice caps, radiocarbon dates show the mosses had not been exposed to the elements since at least 44,000 to 51,000 years ago.
Radiocarbon dating is only accurate to about 50,000 years. Since Earth's geological record shows it was in a glaciation stage prior to that time, the indications are that Canadian Arctic temperatures today have not been matched or exceeded for roughly 120,000 years.
Compiling the age distribution of 145 radiocarbon-dated plants in the highlands of Baffin Island that were exposed by ice recession during the year they were collected proved daunting to researchers. All samples collected were within one meter of the ice caps, which are generally receding by two to three meters a year.
"The oldest radiocarbon dates were a total shock to me," Miller said.
"Where the ice is cold and thin, it doesn't flow, so the ancient landscape on which they formed is preserved pretty much intact," Miller added.
Reconstructing the past climate of Baffin Island beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating, the team used data from ice cores previously retrieved by international teams from the nearby Greenland Ice Sheet.
Summer temperatures cooled in the Canadian Arctic by about five degrees Fahrenheit from roughly 5,000 years ago to about 100 years ago. This period includes the Little Ice Age from 1275 to about 1900.
"Although the Arctic has been warming since about 1900, the most significant warming in the Baffin Island region didn't really start until the 1970s," Miller said. "And it is really in the past 20 years that the warming signal from that region has been just stunning. All of Baffin Island is melting, and we expect all of the ice caps to eventually disappear, even if there is no additional warming."
