The man with answers has no answers. People assume that God has all the answers. Does he?
I got into a short but strange conversation by way of compter translation with a person who contacted me on Facebook, one of those social networking websites that wants you to show a lot of photos.
The person for some reason mentioned to me my love of God. I guess he saw the name of my blog This Cultural Chrisitian and assumed that I was a full believing Christian.
Anyway, the person on the contacting end also mentioned the word "Mafia". I assumed he was responding to one of my favorite movies being The Godfather. I joined in the conversation via a translate function and well, I did not get into good communication with this person.
He thought The Godfather was an bad movie glorifying evil. He was right but I also thought it a classic and great work of cinematic art. In any case, I did not get much out of his French except the literal computer generated translated meaning of words. I also got the sense of how closed belief is on subjects related to God, and not knowing his religious beliefs.
His translated words to me said something like he wanted to talk about God and that I wanted to discuss bread. Thus the beginning of this discussion based on two different human beings thinking that they are looking at the same object or subject and two different people getting two separate translations of the same thing according to individual prejudice.
The bread referred to in this Internet conversation/translation was about the Wedding Cake in the movie and the one I bought from the same bakery in Staten Island that made the one in the movie. Ours was a bit smaller. I wished to express my own interface with scenes in the movie and the identification with visual sites I know from Staten Island and put in the film as labeled as Long Island etc..
But it, the conversation, was a good beginning. Do we talk about bread or God when we join together and talk about God?
The Our Father speaks of our daily bread. In reality the nitty gritty of life is not God but Bread.
God is intertwined with all living things. Bread is life. God is life. We are life.

Without either..we wither and eventually die. They are forever linked to each other and us.. the creation. Reading Karen Armstrong's book..In The Beginning. What a refreshing and insightful look at the Book of Genesis. I have found a kindred spirit..and isn't that what we all seek?

Change of plan - I suggest that we look at Blended Learning platforms, and discuss how they can help us to:
1) offer an excellent product to our clients, at a great-value price
2) cut down enormously on course-writing and homework marking
3) create tailor-made courses to keep us ahead of the competition from multinational "one-size-fits-all" language suppliers.
I'm really hoping for a good turn-out so that we can get chatting about all of the issues facing ELT in Paris today, and in particular so that we can learn how to take advantage of this exciting development in this noble profession that we exercise.
I'm happy to animate the discussion and to show you what I've learned about the various options on offer.
The ZIG-ZAG café is a lovely spot - just about 100 yards north of the Panthéon - has well-priced drinks and snacky meals which start from about 7 Euros.
Turn up at whatever time you can - I'll be there from 6pm and I'll start my little presentation at around 7pm.
Thanks again to everyone who pitched up at Expolangues earlier this month - lots of free champagne courtesy of the CUP & Attica and some interesting products and people to see. Those who stayed to the death were also rewarded with dinner kindly paid for by publishing reps!
As usual, there are a few things to check out on the discussions board, including a job opportunity and news of upcoming évents organised by
www.tesol.fr and www.thelanguagenetwork.fr
- two associations it's well worth joining, if you haven't already.
Any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
Cheers, Sean

Keep Umbrella Handy – It's Gonna Rain
It's official. It WILL rain in east Texas tonight and over the weekend. Plan on it. People who're planning to go to a football game today and tomorrow would be wise to take their rain gear.
It's official. It WILL rain in east Texas tonight and over the weekend. Plan on it. People who're planning to go to a football game today and tomorrow would be wise to take their rain gear.
The Houston Chronicle reports a lot of people in the weather forecasting business say it's time to discard the old "Category 1-5" system of rating the strength of hurricanes.
They say that system -- known as the Saffir-Simpson Scale -- only tells us the storm's wind speed. It says little about the storm's tidal surge which causes the most deaths and property damage.
East Texas just can't catch a break. Even with all the rain Hurricane Isaac is dumping on Louisiana and Mississippi, forecasters at the National Weather Service say some parts of East Texas may not get a drop of that rain.
Hurricane Isaac continues to move inland, ever so slowly, through southeastern Louisiana, bringing with it battering winds with gusts to 100mph and rainfall that could total nearly 20 inches in some locations.
Forecasts have varied greatly as to what we can expect in East Texas, but here's the latest.
Late Tuesday or early Wednesday Isaac is expected to make landfall as a hurricane with winds up to 100mph. That's dangerous enough, but there's another major fear when it comes to this particular storm.
Hurricanes cause all sorts of damage, but do you have any idea just how much?
We knew it couldn't last. We went two full months into hurricane season without a tropical storm anywhere near Texas or Louisiana, but we may not be able to feel safe for much longer. There's now a storm "out there" that could very well come our way and cause major problems.
The record-breaking heat that's recently affected much of the country has resulted in soaring utility bills — and that may not be the only way it hits your wallet.

Woman sues Morgantown Utility Board for property damage
Kyla Asbury Jun. 7, 2012, 7:14am
MORGANTOWN -- A Morgantown woman is suing the Morgantown Utility Board for raw sewage and rainwater that backed up and flooded into her home.
On July 9, 2010, and again on July 13, 2010, the sanitary sewer system connected to Mary F. McKinley's home backed up and caused sewage and rainwater to flood her home and cause extensive damage to the home and her personal belongings, according to a complaint filed in Monongalia Circuit Court.
McKinley claims the Morgantown Utility Board negligently designed, constructed, maintained and/or operated its sanitary sewer system.
The defendant's sewer system negligently resulted in McKinley's property damages, according to the suit.
McKinley is seeking compensatory damages with pre-judgment interest. She is being represented by Kelly R. Reed.

'Evolutionary misfit' was a WORM: Bizarre spiked 505-million-year-old creature is finally given its place in the 'Tree of Life'
- Researchers at the University of Cambridge have classified an ancient worm
- Known as Hallucigenia sparsa the creature had legs, spikes, a head and tail
- Scientists had been baffled as to where it fit on the evolutionary 'Tree of Life'
- But a study says the odd-looking creature is linked to modern velvet worms
- Animal is so bizarre that scientists once thought fossils were upside down
A bizarre worm-like animal that lived 505 million years ago has been definitively categorised on the 'Tree of Life' by scientists.
Known as Hallucigenia the creature has legs, spikes, a head and a tail, and has been linked with a group of modern animals for the first time.
It had once been considered an 'evolutionary misfit' but now researchers have found an important link with modern velvet worms, which live in tropical forests.
A bizarre creature that existed 505 million years ago has been classified by scientists. Known as Hallucigenia sparsa (artist's impression shown), the worm-like creature with legs, spikes and a head difficult to distinguish from its tail has found its place in the evolutionary 'Tree of Life'
The discovery published in the journal Nature was made by scientists at the University of Cambridge.
The Cambrian explosion, or Cambrian radiation, was the relatively rapid appearance, around 530 million years ago, of most major animal phyla, as demonstrated in the fossil record.
Before about 580 million years ago, most organisms were simple, composed of individual cells occasionally organized into colonies.
Over the following 70 or 80 million years, the rate of evolution accelerated by an order of magnitude (as defined in terms of the extinction and origination rate of species) and the diversity of life began to resemble that of today.
It ended with the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction event, approximately 488 million years ago.
The similarity of Hallucigenia to other contemporary 'legged worms', collectively known as lobopodians, has been very controversial.
This is because a lack of clear characteristics linking them to each other or to modern animals has made it difficult to determine their evolutionary home.
What is more, early interpretations of Hallucigenia, which was first identified in the 1970s, placed it both backwards and upside-down.
The spines along the creature's back were originally thought to be legs, its legs were thought to be tentacles along its back, and its head was mistaken for its tail.
Hallucigenia lived approximately 505 million years ago during the Cambrian Explosion, a period of rapid evolution when most major animal groups first appear in the fossil record.
These particular fossils come from the Burgess Shale in Canada's Rocky Mountains, one of the richest Cambrian fossil deposits in the world.
Looking like something from science fiction, Hallucigenia (illustration shown) had a row of rigid spines along its back, and seven or eight pairs of legs ending in claws. The animals were between 0.2 and 1.4 inches (five and 35 millimetres) in length, and lived on the floor of the Cambrian oceans
Which way is the right way? Initially scientists had thought that the creature was supposed to be the other way up, with the spikes acting as the legs and the 'legs' actually being tentacles, but now they think they were looking at it upside down (illustration shown)
A new study of the creature's claws revealed an organisation very close to those of modern velvet worms, where layers of cuticle (a hard substance similar to fingernails) are stacked one inside the other, like Russian nesting dolls.
The same nesting structure can also be seen in the jaws of velvet worms, which are no more than legs modified for chewing.
'It's often thought that modern animal groups arose fully formed during the Cambrian Explosion,' said Dr Martin Smith of the University's Department of Earth Sciences, the paper's lead author.
'But evolution is a gradual process: today's complex anatomies emerged step by step, one feature at a time.
'By deciphering "in-between" fossils like Hallucigenia, we can determine how different animal groups built up their modern body plans.'
Hallucigenia had once been considered an 'evolutionary misfit' but now researchers have found an important link with modern velvet worms, which live in tropical forests. Pictured here is a stock photo of a velvet worm in Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand
These particular fossils of Hallucigenia come from the Burgess Shale in Canada's Rocky Mountains, one of the richest Cambrian fossil deposits in the world. Pictured is a specimen of Hallucigenia sparsa on display in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto with its spikes clearly visible
While Hallucigenia had been suspected to be an ancestor of velvet worms, definitive characteristics linking them together had been hard to come by, and their claws had never been studied in detail.
Through analysing both the prehistoric and living creatures, the researchers found that claws were the connection joining them together.
Cambrian fossils continue to produce new information on origins of complex animals, and the use of high-end imaging techniques and data on living organisms further allows researchers to untangle the enigmatic evolution of earliest creatures.
'An exciting outcome of this study is that it turns our current understanding of the evolutionary tree of arthropods - the group including spiders, insects and crustaceans - upside down,' said Dr Javier Ortega-Hernandez, the paper's co-author.
'Most gene-based studies suggest that arthropods and velvet worms are closely related to each other; however, our results indicate that arthropods are actually closer to water bears, or tardigrades, a group of hardy microscopic animals best known for being able to survive the vacuum of space and sub-zero temperatures - leaving velvet worms as distant cousins.'
And Dr Smith added: 'The peculiar claws of Hallucigenia are a smoking gun that solve a long and heated debate in evolutionary biology, and may even help to decipher other problematic Cambrian critters.'

Inspired by the haunting, passionate story of the city of lights, this epic novel weaves a gripping tale of four families across the centuries: from the lies that spawn the noble line of de Cygne to the revolutionary Le Sourds who seek their destruction; from the Blanchards whose bourgeois respectability offers scant protection against scandal to the hard-working Gascons and their soaring ambitions. Over hundreds of years, these four families are bound by forbidden loves and marriages of convenience; dogged by vengeance and murderous secrets; torn apart by the irreconcilable differences of birth and faith, and brought together by the tumultuous history of their city. Paris bursts to life in the intrigue, corruption and glory of its people. Beloved author of Sarum, London and New York, Edward Rutherfurd illuminates Paris as only he can: capturing the romance and everyday drama of the men and women who, in two thousand years, transformed a humble trading post on the muddy banks of the Seine into the most celebrated city in the world.

3 Claims. (Cl. 55--271) This invention relates generally to improvements in air filters and more particular-ly to a new iilter curtain medium and the apparatus for containing and feeding the same across a passage through which the air to be cleaned flows.
The principal object of this invention is a novel air filter media constructed of a lfinely spun Fiberglas mat woven to dispose the iibers in waving and curling paths that are generally in one direction and in a criss cross diagonal pattern producing an open and interwoven mat having a -gradation in the density of the glass hbers from one side to the other of the mat. The glass fibers forming this filter curtain or mat are coated with an adhesive such as tricresyvl phosphate. The gradation of the glass iibers together with the wavy and curling structure of the lglass gives it a flexible thickness of two incheswhich caribe compressed to one-eighth of an inch. Approximately onehalf of the bers occupy approximately one-fourth of the expanded thickness of the curtain mat. The faces of lthe mat are relatively smooth, there being no apparent exposure of glass liber ends that are present when the mat is cut longitudinally or transversely. This mat thus provides an open mesh rior receiving the large particles of airborne dirt to give them 4free access into the mat which becomes increasingly dense to readily trap this dirt.
Another object is the provision of an improved machine :for supporting and drawing the air filter curtain across a passage through which the air is forced. Generally the curtain is stored in rolls which are permitted to unreel as the curtain is drawn down across the air passage being threaded through a guide throat means and is wound up on a mandrel at lthe other end of the passage. When one roll is removed another is threaded through the guide throat means. To provide the proper tension on the curtain it is unwound from the roll and passes up and directly over and down the surface of a smooth stationary cornering tubular member. As the curtain passes downwardly from the top cornering tube, its sides pass into opposed channels of the same thickness of the curtain and the rods retain the opposite faces all of which form the guide throat means. The spaced longitudinally disposed rods lform a grid that embraces the opposite sides of the curtain to keep it lfrom bulging in the direction of the movement of the air. IIhus the channels and the spaced grids define a guide throat means that transverses the air flow which may be at the air inlet or intermediate of an air duct but is preferably just prior to instal-lation of an electronic air lfilter. Thus lthe prefilter curtain removes the large airborne dirt particles which prevents over or undue loading of the electronic air filter thereby increasing the operating efficiency of electronic filters and improved air filtering. The curtain then passes around the other or lower stationary cornering tubular member and laterally to a takeup mandrel which winds the curtain into a roll. When the expanded curtain is drawn ofi the supply roll and over the tubes there is sufficient tension and :friction to slightly compress the curtain as it passes around the cornering tubes but it is fully expanded between the rolls and the tubes and when passing downwardly through the throat when under tension. If the tension is fnot sufficiently great a hinged friction plate may be rested against the supply roll to increase this tension. Normally a curtain or mat of glass fibers would be expected to reduce in thickness under tension and they generally do. However, the glass ber curtain comprising this invention is expanded and made fluly by stretching the same after it has been woven wit-h the application of a bond and before plasticizing the bond. Further stretching does not contract the same.
-In measuring the lineal movement of the filter curtain a rotatably supported tooth wheel is mounted on a shaft carried by spaced bearings on a support secured in one of the cornering tubes that has a transverse slot allowing the teeth of the 'wheel to engage the curtain and rotate the wheel. The shaft carries a cam that operates a switch that is accessible from the exterior of the machine. 'Ihis cam switch measures the movement of the curtain and may be connected to interrupt the circuit of the motor winding up the curtain ater having been initiated by a time clock contact or a high limit pressure switch. With a high and low limit pressure switch the tooth wheel may not be necessary.
Other objects and advantages of this invention appear hereinafter in the following description and claims.
The accompanying drawings show for the purpose of exemplification without limiting this invention or the claims thereto, certain practical embodiments illustrating the principles of this invention; wherein FIG. l is a view in cross section of the air lilter curtain comprising this invention.

FIG. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of the device which measures the length of the movement of the air filter curtain.
FIGS. 8 to 11 are schematic diagrams of the different positions of the operating circuit controlling the movement of the air filter curtain.
Referring particularly to FIGS. l `and 2 fthe air lter curtain 1 is made of ine glass bers 2. which are formed into a mat. This mat is made on a rotary drum. 'Ihe glass fibers or filaments are spun from the plurality of oriiices connected to a glass furnace and the glass fdaments are accumulated on the rotary drum which is open ated at a relatively high speed to continuously draw the vfine filarn-ents to a small diameter `and wind the filaments on the drum. This action disposes the glass bers gem erally longitudinally with the circumference of the drum. Either the rotating drum or the oriiices spinning the glass filaments are moved transversely relative lto each other to provide a criss cross pattern wherein the filaments cross each other at an acute angle. A circular movement is also given to the glass filaments 'as they are spun so that they create a pattern of arcuate glass filaments dispersed in short arcuate sections across the length of the drum. By controlling the speed of the drum a certain portion of the glass laments may be made straight but the major portions of the glass fibers are made to lay in short arcuate paths on the drum and not mixed with orifices producing straight fibers which are merely spun back and forth acrossthe drum to produce the criss cross layers. At the time of fthe spinning a bond is applied to the spun glass fibers on the drum and when the mat is completed it provides the appearance of layers of glass fibers defined by a criss cross pattern oi' `substantially straight fibers which are interconnected by the arcuate glass Ifibers dispersed in all directions which interconnect 'a criss cross pattern laterally and subjacently each in both directions. The criss cross pattern defining more or less the different layers and when the mat is cut from the drum and stretched longitudinally of the criss cross pattern the mat expands and the control of the winding and the stretching produces a series of dened layers of glass fibers in the mat which become progressively closer together from one side of the mat to the other. As shown in FIG. 1 the criss cross pattern which defines the layers is represented by the numerals 3 to inclusive. The first few layers `between the criss cross patterns of 3 to 6 are quite close together and as the numbers progress the layers become increasingly larger ending at the top criss cross pattern 19 which represents the air entry side of the mat and into which the air is forced to pass from the entry as indicated by the criss cross pattern 1G to the discharge sides indicated by the criss cross pattern 3 and between these two criss cross patterns that define the opposite side of the mat the whoie of the glass fiber structure becomes progressively of increased density to the discharge side of the mat because substantially the same amount of glass fibers are found between the criss cross patterns that define each layer and since the layers are progressively smaller it is obvious that the density increases towards the discharge surface 3. The progressive change in thickness of the layers may be on the order iof a logarithmic scale. Thus a-s shown in FIG. 2 the criss cross pattern 11 has the acute `angles in the direction of the rotation of the stretching of the mat and these criss cross fibers are interconnected by the arcuate glass fibers transversely of the mat 1 and as shown in FIG. l the cross fibers also are disposed up and down to interconnect the cross fibers defining the extent of each layer. Thus the arcuate fibers are dispersed in all directions and since the whole of the mat 1 is increased by stretching as illustrated in FIG. 1 it may then be passed through an oven to polymerize the bond and actually secure each fiber to an adjacent fiber where it touches the same when being polymerized. After polymerization the stretched mat is sufficiently long to make a curtain and may be wound on rolls for readily adapting the curtain to the machine. The curtain 1 may have any desired thickness depending upon the manner in which it is made. However, the curtain from one and three-quarter to two inches is found to be adequate `as a pre-filter for an electronic air cleaner as such a curtain is sufiiciently dense to break the detailed vision `of an object through the curtain but the general outline may be seen with good lighting conditions. However, such a curtain is of increased density from one place to the other and readily admits large airborne particles and entraps them within the curtain in place of on the outer surface of the curtain as would be expected on lter curtains having a constant density throughout .fthe thickness thereof.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 to 7 the air cleaner is shown at the end of the duct 12 through which the air is traveling to enter the frame 13 of the pre-filter carrying the curtain 1. The air passing through the curtain 1 travels through the intermediate chamber 14 thence through the electronic air cleaner chamber 15 which includes the spray or Washing compartment 16 and the electronic air cleaner compartment 17. When the air travels from the electronic cleaner it passes out of the apparatus into the passageway 13 and thence to the blower Where it is recirculated through the system. The intermediate chamber 14 has a door 20 through which one may step to make any alterations to the electronic cleaner indicated at 21 or the washer indicated at 22 or to change the rolls in supplying the curtain 1 in the frame 13. The door 20 is provided with interlocks to disrupt the circuit or cleaning operartion when open during the period of their operation.
The pre-filter frame 13 is constructed in four sections, the top box-like sections 23, the bottom box-like section 24 and the ysides 25 which are duplicates of one another, one being inverted. This permits one to employ the same top and bottom structures 23 and I24 and merely change the connecting side plates of the frame to accommodate duct work of different vertical dimensions, the top and bottom boxes being changed for a relatively few number of lateral dimensions.
The opposite sides of the box 23 are provided with the inturned arcuate track 26 having an opening at 27 for receiving the supports on the ends of the shaft 23 that support the curtain roll 36'. The shaft or mandrel 28 with its end supports are dropped through the slots 27 a-t opposite sides of the arcuate track 26 and shoved over the high spot 31 of the track so as to rest in the position as shown in PIG. 3. The curtain is drawn from the roll 30 in a counter-clockwise direction and passes up over the corner tube 32 which has its ends welded to the 'opposite ends of the box 23 and is so-disposed that the curtain 1 will pass from the stationary corner tube 32 at a point of tangency where it will enter the throat 33 of the guide means that entrains the curtain as it passes downwardly past the opening extending from the point 34 of the top box 23 Ito the point 3S in the bottom box 24. The throat consists of the vertically disposed channel members 36 mountedgon the sides 25 and the grill work on each side of the curtain which consists of spaced continuous vertical rods 37 backed up by transverse rails 38 formed in a frame that is removably mounted on the sides 25 on each side of the curtain. This throat 33 offers little or no resistance to the movement of the curtain 1 therethrough and after the curtain passes out of -the throat below the opening 35 it travels around the lower corner tube 40 the ends of which are welded to the opposite ends of the lower box 24. After the curtain passes Aaround this Astationary tube it passes onto the mandrel 41 mounted on the lower box 24. As shown in FIG. 4, the mandrel v41 has a quick disconnecting coupling 42 for attaching the same to the shaft 43 of the motor 44 mounted on the bracket `45 that is secured to the lower outer face of the lower box 24. Thus the motor when energized winds the curtain in a clockwise direction on the mandrel 41 as viewed in FIG. 3.
As shown in lFIG. 7 `a cam switch 46 comprises the 'toothed wheel member 47 rotatably supported on the shaft 48 carried by the bearings 50 on the support 51. The opposite end of the shaft 48 having removably secured thereon the cam member 52 provided with the opposed notches 53 separating the cam surfaces 54. The support 51 is fastened to the inner surface of the tube 40 yadjacent the end thereof and is accessible from the exterior of the machine through the plate 55 as shown in PIG. 6. A transverse slot 56 is cut through the tube 40 to permit the teeth of the wheel 47 to extend beyond the surface of the tube and engage in the glass fiber of the curtain 1 as it passes around the stationary tube 40. Thus the rotation of the wheel 47 is directly proportional to the lineal movement of the curtain 1 and the diameter of the wheel 47 may be chosen within the limits of the bore of the tube 40, to rotate the shaft 48 through a predetermined revolution or part thereof in proportion to the lineal movement of the curtain 1. Again the selection of the ca m as to its diameter and the number and position of the notches 53 is also selected to provide operation of the cam in accordance with the lineal movement of the curtain 1. As shown in FIG. 7 each notch 53 has a substantially radial face 57 off which the cam follower 58 falls when the wheel and shaft is rotated in a clockwise direction in `accordance with the arrow. The opposite cam face 60 slopes somewhat. The cam follower 58 is spring biased to move into the notches 53 when they present themselves as illustrated in FIG. 7. However, the device cannot be rotated in the opposite direction as the cam follower 58 functions as a stop against the movement of the cam 52. If the curtain were attempted to be pulled in the reverse direction the toothed Wheel 47 would offer resistance against its moving in that direction.
As shown in FIGS. 3 `and 4, a control box 61 provides the connections for controlling the operation of the motor 44 and the other controls ofthe iilter curtain. Above the conrol box a pressure s-witch -62 is mounted which is provided with two tubes, the high pressure tube 63 opening to the passage in front of the curtain 1 vand the low pressure tube 64 opening into the passage behind the curtain 1. This pressure switch is set to close a contact in response to a predetermined high pressure measured through vthe ltube 63 Iand the switch will maintain its closed posi-tion until such time as the pressure in the low pressure tube 64 drops below a predetermined pressure which is lower than the predetermined high operating pressure.
'I'hese views also show a switch `65 having an arm with a roller 66 to engage the curtain 1 and when the curtain 1 passes beyond the roller 66 the switch 65 is caused to close for the purpose of completing a signalling circuit such as a light or yan alarm or both to indicate that the roll `30 is empty and the curtain must be replaced before it passes the opening between points 34 and 35. A similar signal is provided in the paddle member 67 which is hingedly supported in the box 23 as indicated at l68 and it rests on the surface of the coil 30 of ilter curtain having the pressure of its own weight land when the iilter curtain roll 30 reduces in diameter the plate 67 strikes the switch 70 to close a signal circuit to indicate that the roll is practically depleted.
The control box 61 is provided with a clock timer 71 which may be set to operate and close a switch having a lheel and two contacts engaged by the heel in its opposite positions. This time clock may be set to operate in periods within twenty-four hours and for any selected duration in throwing the heel of the switch to either of the two contacts. They may also be set for short periods of time of several minutes.
Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11 the clock switch 72 is provided with the heel member 73 that alternately engages the contacts 74 and 75. These contacts are directly connected to the respective contacts 76, 77 of the cam switch 7S that is operated by the actuator 58. As shown in FIG. 8, power supplied to the line 80 is connected 'to the heel 81 of the cam switch 78. This cam switch being illustrated with the operator in one of the slots 53 has the heel connected to the engaged contact 77. Thus voltage is provided from the contact 77 through the line 82 to the contact 75 of the clock switch. The line 80 is also connected to the pressure switch 62, the heel 83 of which is normally open and when closed will engage the contact 84. The line 85 is connected to the heel 73 of the clock switch 72 and to the contact 84 of the pressure switch 82 and to one side of the motor 44. The other side of the motor 44 is connected by the line 86 to the opposite side of the source of supply. When the pressure becomes greater than the predetermined setting the pressure switch 62 will close the contact between the heel 83 and the contact 84 and thereby energize the motor 44 to roll the curtain until such time :as the pressure is reduced to a predetermined amount after which the switch 62 will open deenergizing the motor 44. Thus the pressure switch 62 functions in this instance independently of the timer switch or the cam switch :and it may be employed to operate the system without the use of the timer switch 72 and the cam switch 78. If on 4the other hand, the pressure switch 62 shunts the timer switch and the cam switch as shown and the motor 44 is moved sufficiently far to rotate the cam 52 until it rides ion the cam surface 54, the heel 81 will switch to the contact 76 and current will #be supplied to the motor 44 through these parallel circuits. Dur= ing this condition if the pressure switch 62 `opens the motor 44 will continue to operate until the actuator 58 falls into a cam slot 53 causing the heel 81 to switch to the Contact 77 and thereby stop the rotation of lthe motor. If the cam switch has not had an opportunity to yallovtr the Vfollower 58 to drop ina slot 53 before the period of time is up t-hen the clock switch 72 will throw the heel 73 to the contact 75 and thus interrupt the circuit of the motor 44.
Referring now to FIG. 9 let it be assumed that the pressure switch 62 is disregarded and the clock switch 72 has passed through a selected interval of time. Its heel 73 is thrown to engage the contact 75 as shown and the motor 44 is started. When the motor 44 starts under these conditions the heel 81 of the cam switch 78 is thrown to the contact 76 when the follower 58 rides to the carn surface 54 :as shown in FIG. l0. 'Ihus the circuit to the motor 44 is again interrupted, yet the Imovement of the curtain was only a suicient distance to raise the cam follower from the slot 53 to the cam surface 54 and since the motor -44 is deenergized there will be no further movement of the curtain until the clock has passed through its predetermined period of time to again throw the heel 73 to the contact 74 as shown in FIG. 11 .at which time the motor 44 is again energized to continue the movement of the curtain 1 until the follower 58 again falls in the next consecutive slot 53 after traversing the whole of the distance of the cam 5.4. This Idistance represents a considerable movement of the curtain such as a lineal distance of from four to five inches. When the follower 58 reaches the next consecutive slot 53 and drops therein the heel 81 is again switched to the contact 77 Ias shown in FIG. 8 and no further material movement of the curtain 1 will be produced until the passage of the two consecutive time periods of the clock as previously recited with reference to the settings of FIGS. 9 to 11.
These periods may of course be changed. The lineal movement of the curtain 1 may be selected to be greater or less than that previously described.
The movement of the toothed wheel -47 -by means ofthe curtain traveling in the proper direction creates little or no load on the motor when drawing the curtain around two stationary corner tubes 32 and 40. These stationary corner tubes provide a material improvement in this machine in that -the curtain is maintained in better alignment than that experienced by using a roll or a paddle wheel structure wherein slight variations of the curtain itself tend to shift the curtain askew which is a similar difliculty experienced in traveling belts over rotary members. The resistance to movement of the curtain over the stationary corner tubes even though this is a frictional engagement is exceedingly low not heing far fromv the friction of a roller or paddle type of members at the same relative position.
I claim:

Raspberry Leaf Tea Is Great for Female Problems!
Posted by BeckySue on Mar 12, 2015

Very earthy flavour. Really overpowering. But helped a ton with my period pains. I chuck this down when it is luke warm because it is too earthy for my liking.
Great taste

Bought this after reading reviews and info on how it's beneficial for women's health. Have been drinking this for a few days. Love the taste of it. It just taste like a normal black tea.
wonderful tea, must try

Helps to regulate heavy menses n ease my discomfort. Nice taste of herbal. Just ordered 4 boxes!
Posted by Reviewer1901447 on May 27, 2014
This tea is fine. I haven't ever used any other raspberry tea so have nothing to compare it to but it's very light.
Works like magic

This tea has to be taken religiously to see effect. My hands and legs are less prone to cold and my menses are slighly more normal However, soaking it too long can leads to a slightly disgusting taste. On a note, drink it when its warm rather then cold cause it taste horrible when cool.
tastes good but has no effect on my spasms.
Posted by 5496453647664071361 on Apr 23, 2014
It has a very neutral taste that I think anyone would like, reminds my of a regular black tea. but it hasn't relieved my spasms at all.

It is very unfortunate that the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) has closed the 2009 fall turkey season.
We can understand that this may be necessary for the turkey population in Arkansas, however, in our view the decision-making process was flawed. The AGFC data shows that the number of turkeys taken by hunters in the fall hunt is less than 5 percent of the total number of birds taken by hunters. We also understand that the National Wild Turkey Federation data says the same thing. Hunters are not the problem and the AGFC should not bite the hand that feeds them.
Is it politics? Maybe it is, because they now have enough votes to flex their muscles.
So why did they change the season after the new hunting regulations and the new hunting licenses were issued?
We don't agree with the overall decision and they should have had sufficient information last March or April to make this decision, prior to the 2009-10 book and license being issued.
We have had several people contact the Arkansas Wildlife Federation (AWF) and express mixed feelings about their decision to cut out this years' fall turkey hunting. We feel that the commissioners are not listening to their own biologist that works for the Game and Fish Commission. What about the public opinion?
I know from AGFC public comment meetings I have attended, the public has asked for a shorter season in the spring and gobblers-only in the fall turkey hunt, until the population has increased to the numbers that AGFC biologists feel can be supported by the areas habitat.
We agree the turkey population in Arkansas is down and we would like to see some of the same numbers for turkey that we see in Missouri and other southern states.
I live in Yell County with chickens and turkeys that run free on my small farm.
Since April of this year, I have lost 26 chickens and nine turkeys to the coyotes on my property.
I hear the coyotes most nights in large numbers. I am also aware that currently there is a large population of feral hogs and feral dogs that roam hunting areas in Arkansas. Wild hogs not only eat and destroy the nesting hens and their eggs, they also destroy the land they inhabit, and carry several forms of disease that infect wildlife and humans.
Maybe we should focus on this problem instead of removing the turkey season.
For example, larger fines for those that let hogs and dogs loose in the woods and maybe a bounty for the removal of wild hogs as well as coyotes in areas that are identified as having an over-population would be a start to help the problem. AWF believes Arkansas hunters are strong conservationists and are committed to protecting and improving our wildlife habitats.
Hopefully the AGFC members will listen to their own biologists and respect the input and interest of Arkansas hunters to correct this problem.
Let's work together in the effort to increase the turkey population.
Don't blame it on the hunter.

CURTIS, Nebraska -- In their final meeting in 2010, the Middle Republican Natural Resource District board of directors approved the correction to the 2011 Occupation Tax, 10-1, raising it from $4.78 to $4.90 per acre. James Uerling was the lone dissenting vote.
The change occurred because of a computer error when the rate was calculated. Dan Smith, MRNRD Manager, told the board that they had already approved the budget in the previous meeting for the 2011 fiscal year, and that the change was necessary to meet the expenses in that budget. The new rate is actually $3,000-4,000 short of the proposed budget.
"We didn't feel that we wanted to go over [the expenses] when we decided in this amount [for the tax]," said Smith.
The error by the computer program, used by the National Association of County Officials, miscalculated the number of acres in the MRNRDs district.
Prior to the official meeting, the board heard a presentation from Jim Hicks, a state environment engineer for Nebraska, on dam sites 80a and 32a.
Repairs to Site 80a, located north of Maywood, are complete, however, Hicks reported that what they thought was one crack in the dam, was actually two big cracks and voids in the dam.
"We originally thought the dam had cracks because it had dried out, but when he tested the soil we discovered that the moisture at the top of the dam was almost the same as the moisture levels at the bottom," said Hicks. "We believe the cracks and eventually the voids occurred when the dam settled at different rates."
The crew working on the dam used what is known as chimneys. Chimneys are sections of a dam, in this case two foot by five foot, where sand is packed tightly to allow water to flow through, but not sediment.
"We use water to pack the sand as tightly as possible," said Hicks. "It allows that flow of water, in case of a leak or crack, but with the chimney any moving sediment would be stopped at the chimney, resettle and fill any cracks."
Site 32a, located on the boundary between Hitchcock and Hayes County, isn't finished and has been put on hold for the winter. The pipe and concrete has been set, but due to the temperature of soil the crew had to stop work. In order to pack the ground, the ground must be above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
"We have put dirt around the pipe and concrete to protect it for the winter and we will get right back at it in the spring," said Hicks.
This meeting was the last for four members on the board who did not win their bids for reelection in November: Josh Friesen, Dan Nelson, Marty Schurr and Ben Loomis.
When asked about whether they would run again in the 2012 elections, the four members said that it is still a possibility and on the table.
The four incoming members, Steve Cappel, Blaine Stinson, Bill Hoyt and John Palic, attended the meeting.
Dan Nelson will continue to serve out his four year term on the Nebraska Natural Resource Commission.
"I will finish out my term on the NNRC; I want to stay involved, and encourage everyone else to as well," said Nelson. "Now I will be able to get more involved with the other boards, and go to their meetings."
Nelson still has two more years on the NNRC.
A Request to Intervene, on the challenge filed with the Department of Natural Resources, has been filed on behalf of the MRNRD, allowing the board to access information and any decision from the DNR regarding the challenge.
"I am not sure why they filed with the DNR. It's an inappropriate action. [The challenge] needs to be taken to court," said Smith. "The filings are in the wrong jurisdiction. They are asking the DNR to say they were wrong in the IMPs."
The lawyer for the MRNRD has also filed for the dismissal of the challenge.
The DNR has yet to decide whether or not to hear the challenge.
During the general meeting reports the board unanimously approved the November meeting minutes; the financial report for November; and an amendment to put a dollar value, and not a percentage on pay agreements with two consultants to the MRNRD. They also approved pay-flex plan definition changes for MRNRD staff; to continue the cost share program being utilized by the MRNRD; and to hear bids for remodeling of the MRNRD office to put in an office wall and door to better suit the staff and visitors.
