AbstractA new Plume Laser Radar Effects Simulation (PLRES) is proposed. The objective is a software tool that predicts observables resulting from laser illumination of missile exhaust plumes and wakes. PLRES requires an imported flowfield that prescribesproperties of molecular and condensed phase particulate species. Flow solutions for mean and Reynolds-averaged turbulence in two and three dimensions as well as instantaneous realizations of turbulent flows (large eddy simulations, for example) will beaccommodated. The simulation will include spatial, temporal, Doppler, and polarization resolved backscatter imagery from non-spherical particles. Multiple scatter effects and attenuation by particulate and molecular species are included. Phase Iincludes evaluation and demonstration of the models for these plume-laser observables and a plan for the code structure and their implementation in a comprehensive simulation software tool. This simulation exploits extensive common components of the MDAPhase II SBIR

There are a number of top class golf courses within easy reach of the villa with Palmares and its new 27 holes being situated virtually on the door step. Boavista, Parque De Floresta to name a couple more are also within a very short drive.
The Algarve
This area promises a fantastic climate and year round sunshine, and as a working fishing town nearby Lagos has something going on all year round. The historic old town with its warren of twisted cobbled streets contrasts its sophisticated restaurants with small local eating places tucked in the back of beyond. Jazz clubs, night clubs, bars, cafes, shops and boutiques all blend with the mixture of historical buildings and Moorish architecture. The streets become alive in the evenings with buskers and entertainers. Many excursions can be booked on the Marina itself i.e. sailing, power boating, boat charters, dolphin safaris, big game fishing, and grotto trips, and to keep the children entertained there are also two water parks in the area, the Zoomarine where you can swim with the dolphins and Lagos Zoo with over 120 species of animals all living in their natural habitats.
Odiaxere your 'local village' 5 minutes drive away hosts all necessary amenities i.e. chemist, supermarket, restaurants, bars, cafes, bank, daily fish/vegetable market selling local produce.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
Hi there,
So I got my new 365 account setup, domain setup etc. Added it to my existing Outlook 2010 profile, everything worked great. I already had an exchange email added.
Anyway, I wanted to remove the old one but couldn't do this due to a bug with Outlook which keeps telling you it can't delete the primary email account even after setting the default accounts and data files. The advice from MS forums was to create a new profile.
Now it won't connect to my new 365 account, just keeps asking me for the password, over and over. The password is correct as I can login to outlook.com just fine and just setup my Win7 mobile in about 20 seconds. Yet my desktop has become completely useless.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the feedback.
I managed to get it connecting again by deleting all of my internet cache, deleting my AppData Outlook files with the old pst and ost files in, and restarting my PC. Once I done that I made sure Trillian didn't start when Windows started too, not sure if this would effect anything but it does log into Live. It managed to connect this time and I have a single profile with my Office 365 account in.
Make sure you install the Office 365 Service Connector:
Set up your desktop for Office 365:
Yup I had done, it didn't help.
And actually deleting the current profile doesn't work?
Deleting the existing profile? Nope, it didn't; I done it several times, restarted serveral times. Infact I was half suspecting I had a DNS issue and kept flushing my DNS cache to no avail. The only time it started actually working again, was, deleting both my internet cache, shutting down Trillian, and restarting, I'm not say any of those are connected and it could of been something completely different. But what I do know is, these instructions to install, are uselss and they take no account of bugs with Outlook and the "primary email address" message it gives you which is completely irrelevant. The tool to configure outlook should take *all* of that into account.
1 out of 1 people found this post helpful.
Don't get me wrong though, i love Office 365 and am thoroughly impressed by it by using it through work. But the Outlook config could definitely do with some fine tuning.
I hear what you are saying. I have never experienced these problems though. Maybe you could let an IT pro look at your client to find out what's wrong.
Well it's sorted now so that's not possible, as mentioned above. And what do you mean by IT Pro? I'm a software architect, with a *** load of experience, am I not an IT Pro then?
Sorry about that (-;
No probs, probably taken a little too literally by myself, appologies to you.
Thank you for posting this topic. My outlook & 365 was/is doing the same thing. Yesterday I tried what worked for you and it worked perfectly. However when I got back to work today it's doing it all over again and the clearing the cache & restarting isn't working for me.
Hi Stephdc,
Since the solution from Niknak does not fix your issue, it could be a different problem.
I would suggest you open a new thread to discuss this problem so we can provide dedicated help there.

I was working out in the woods today, and I found this in a metal pile. No bike unfortunately
The crank arm is 7" long, and the pedal spindle is still attached/fused to it. The bottom bracket is still attached as well, and it looks like an appropriate width for a bicycle. It has 30 teeth (including the rusted off one). The ring is 9.5" in diameter from tooth to tooth, compared with a 48 tooth Rudge which is 7.75" in diameter measured the same way.
Anyhow, enjoy the pictures

Finalized my centerpiece design last week with the help of my mom, my aunties, and my wonderful daddy!! I'm trying to be green, so these were made from my dad's scrap pile of PVC pipes and wood. They were spray painted silver and decorated with bead curtains, my folded paper stars, and pink vinyl table cloth. I'm planning to get together with my bridesmaids one day to decorate the little holders with different color ribbon and embellishments (colors to be pulled from my stars - pink, blue, purple, yellow, green, etc.).
*Going to put cardstock stars to decorate the wine glasses; closeup on beads & paper stars (don't mind the grandpa in the background, haha!).
*I will have two different color overlays (baby blue & turquoise) using the baby blue for the banquet tables, and the turquoise for cocktail hour; all containers will be sprayed silver, but you can see here that they are common PVC pipes :)
*Instead of placing the "cake favor boxes" like cakes, I'm standing them up like tiny baggies. Silver string to tie in the color.
*Top view of the table.
*Me slaving away making the paper stars; cool shadow effects!!
Was finally able to bring a finished sample to the hotel to test-drive it on an actual round table. Looks pretty good! Too bad they didn't have any chinaware available.
Caught the FI holding a peace sign... but posted this without his permission, so for privacy sake his face has been... altered slightly.
WoW!!! Looks great!
Looks amazing...good job!
Great Job!

Spring 2016 Welcome Week & Move-In
Welcome home to our returning and new students! We have lots of great resources and activities to help you get settled into Spring Semester at UAA! Here are a few to add to the list!
Spring Welcome Week…January 10-15!
We are excited to promote this year's UAA Spring Welcome Week, which provides new and returning On-Campus Living residents at UAA an opportunity to come together in celebration of the new semester. Throughout the week, students will form lifelong friendships, become prepared to further their educations and learn valuable information about the University and surrounding community! Spring Welcome Week 2016 will feature 17 programs that focus on student safety, academic success, community building, and more.
Move-In Days for Residential Students…January 8-10!
Move-In is a busy time in the On-Campus Living community! All residents will need to check in to the location corresponding to their room assignment. See the UAA Housing website for an On-Campus Living map. Visit our Move-In page for tips, tricks, and lists for what to bring (and what NOT to bring) to make move-in a snap!
Immunization Requirements for On-Campus Living Residents
On-Campus Living at the University of Alaska Anchorage, in compliance with University of Alaska Board of Regents policy, requires all students living on campus to provide documentation of immunizations.

Permanent eyebrows is a highly sought after permanent cosmetics procedure and it is easy to understand why. The eyebrows "frame" the face and proper eyebrow shape can take years off your appearance by lifting and emphasizing your eyes. They also add definition without compromising your natural look.
Unfortunately, eyebrow application is usually the most difficult and time consuming daily makeup to apply. Women who have invested in permanent eyebrows appreciate the smear proof, hassle-free, moisture proof colouring it provides. Permanent eyebrows allows women the freedom to "wake up with makeup" and get a head start on their day.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a maternity and newborn photographer. I'm looking for someone who likes to shoot outside for maternity and uses natural light for newborn. Willing to travel anywhere in LA, Northern OC, and IE counties. Thanks

I noted you. I did some photography, mostly maternity, on the beach. And some in a nice yard/gazebo.
Natural light is best. I hardly ever use my flash. But I'm not a professional, which is why I noted you.

Shots by Steph in Claremont. Her focus is maternity, children, and families. Almost all of her sessions are outdoors and she loves the use of natural light. I have used her twice. Once for a Mommy and Me session and then for a family photo session. She is friendly and very good with kids. Here's her link:

Holly from Heavenly Portraits does AMAZING newborn photography. Never seen anything like it...worth every penny. She shot a photo of my baby laying on a clock with the time pointing to when she was born. The clock hangs in our home and will one day go to my daughter :) Check her out...you will be so happy you did!

The Left: Attaching Transgenderism to Most Anything
If you didn't think that the subject of transgenderism in this country would be labeled a kind of new civil rights, then you've not been paying attention. Liberals yearn for social justice relevance. They have attempted to connect a feelings-based subject matter, transgender "rights", to actual struggles of the past in order to give life to their emotional grievances.

Leesburg man, 73, killed in muzzleloader accident
Published: Monday, October 20, 2008 at 2:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 20, 2008 at 2:44 p.m.
A Leesburg man trying to pull a loaded muzzleloader from his truck was killed when the gun reportedly went off and he was shot in the chest Sunday morning in Columbia County.
Johnny G. Hurst, 73, was pronounced dead at the scene inside the Osceola National Forest, according to Karen Parker, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
"This was a horrible, horrible accident," Parker said. "What makes this tragic accident even worse is that his wife and two sons were with him when this happened."
According to Parker, investigators said it appeared that Hurst's muzzleloader was already loaded and he may have grabbed the barrel of the gun to pull it out of the truck. In the process of pulling the gun toward him, the barrel was pointed to his chest and the trigger likely was hooked on something, causing the gun to fire.
The death investigation is being done by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. Spokeswoman Laurie Windham said an autopsy was being performed at the medical examiner's office in Jacksonville on Monday and that no foul play was suspected in the case.

text: 15 Nov 2012 Telegraph Travel Awards 2012: readers' favourite destinations Previous slide Next slide 1 of 12 View All Skip Ad The results of the Telegraph Travel Awards - based on a survey of 17,000 readers - were announced this week. Here are the destinations which you nominated as your favourites. Italy Favourite country in Europe It is no surprise to see Italy once more winning this category. The history, the culture, climate, the food, the discovery of Sicily as a tourist destination, the perennial holiday favourites of Venice and Tuscany make it very hard to beat. Florence city break guide Rome city break guide Venice city break guide Sardinia travel guide Sicily travel guide Tuscany travel guide Credit: ALAMY Iceland 2nd favourite country in Europe Iceland? Readers second favourite country in Europe? It sounds unlikely at first, but the cost of travelling around what was once one of the most expensive countries in the world has reduced sharply since the economic crash of 2008 hit the Icelandic currency. And the introduction of flights by EasyJet early this year made it cheaper and easier to get to. More readers are travelling there, and when you visit it's hard not to be impressed by the singular drama of a landscape forged by the opposing forces of ice and fire. Credit: ALAMY Norway 3rd favourite country in Europe No doubt the vertiginous spectacle of Norway's coast won the country plaudits from readers, but Oslo too is an under-rated city which impresses many who visit for the first time. The surprise was the demise of France - the country which was voted your favourite destination in our inaugural awards 15 years ago, and which has made a consistent appearance in the top three. Despite being quick, cheap and easy to get to, and still offering relatively good value for money, it seems that readers have fallen out of love with our near neighbour. It's not clear why, but my hunch is that the problem may lie with Paris. Swamped by tourists, with its infrastructure looking shabby (been on the Metro recently?) maybe it is losing its lustre? Credit: ALAMY New Zealand Favourite country worldwide After only managing a runners-up place last year, New Zealand reclaimed the top slot it held in four out of the five years between 2004 and 2008. It is a place of outstanding beauty and open spaces - from the beaches of the Coromandel to the rolling green hills of the Waikato region and the vineyards of Hawke's Bay; from the rugged mountainscapes of the Southern Alps to the dramatic Milford Sound (described by Rudyard Kipling as the eighth wonder of the world). It is temperate and a joy to drive through (along its mainly empty roads); to a British traveller it is both strikingly familiar - and redolent of another, more innocent era (where it is permanently 1955). And in its funky, foodie little capital, Wellington, it has a city now known locally as "Wellywood" - a tribute to the astonishing quality of the films that have been produced there over the past 20 years, most notably the Lord of the Rings trilogy and, more recently, the three-part Hobbit series, the first of which will be premiered later this month. Credit: ALAMY Maldives 2nd favourite country worldwide While it has endured a tumultuous year politically, the Maldives has little problem attracting holidaymakers to its idyllic atolls. Credit: ALAMY South Africa 3rd favourite country worldwide South Africa's wine and wildlife continue to help it find favour with Telegraph readers. Credit: ALAMY Edinburgh Favourite UK city Edinburgh really does have it all - except, perhaps, reliable sunshine. There's the spectacular setting, with the Firth of Forth stretching away on one side, the Pentland Hills on the other. There is the delightful contrast between the medieval streets and closes of the Old Town, dominated by the castle on its volcanic crag, and the sweeping Georgian crescents of the New Town - together a Unesco World Heritage site. It hosts some of the largest and most exciting summer arts festivals in Europe and a raft of world class galleries and museums - not to mention great crowd-pulling events such as the Tattoo, Hogmanay, rugby at Murrayfield... Edinburgh city break guide Credit: ALAMY York 2nd favourite UK city More than anywhere else in England, York's tangle of streets and alleyways give a feel of walking in a medieval city, especially as dusk falls and shadows flicker. Towering over them is York Minster, one of our ecclasiastical glories, which has just put on display restored panels from its magnificent 15th century Great East Window in a new Orb gallery. York city break guide Credit: ALAMY Bath 3rd favourite UK city Bath, with its perfectly preserved Georgian architecture, is not only one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, it has one of our very best attractions in the Roman Baths and Museum. It was the thermal waters that drew the Romans here, so try them for yourself at the beautifully designed Thermae Bath spa, where the open rooftop pool has panoramic views across the city's spires and rooftops. Bath city break guide Credit: ALAMY Cape Town Favourite worldwide city Telegraph readers have always liked Cape Town, which often features prominently in the Telegraph Travel awards, and this year takes the top slot. It's easy to see why - the glorious ocean setting, the vibrant waterfront, the fabulous climate, the wonderful food and the peerless Table Mountain as a backdrop. It's also a city that fits neatly into a longer itinerary, acting as a forward base for safaris in Kruger and other South African parks, or as a springboard for trips east to the verdant winelands around Franschhoek. Cape Town city break guide Credit: ALAMY Vancouver 2nd favourite worldwide city What is more surprising, perhaps, is the identity of our second-placed city, Vancouver. Or not so suprising, when you look closer at its many attributes, which are not dissimilar to those of Cape Town - or Rio, Sydney or San Francisco, for that matter. It has the same sublime setting, cradled between the ocean and snowcapped mountains, an idyllic waterfront, pristine beaches, world-class museums, safe, clean streets, and some of North Amercia's highest-rated restaurants. Outdoor activites proliferate - you can ski, sail, hike and more, and in near wilderness, just 20 minutes from downtown - and when you tire of the city, Vancouver Island, the landscapes of British Columbia and the majesty of the Canadian Rockies are within easy reach. Number two? Not for long, I suspect. Credit: ALAMY New York 3rd favourite worldwide city New York comes in at number three. This is a destination that needs little by way of endorsement, and is always going to be there, or thereabouts, on any ranking of favourite cities.

The rare collections of Soviet-era artifacts, Russian literature, phonograph recordings, and Perestroika kitsch possessed by the Institute for Modern Russian Culture (IMRC) were only available for study to graduate students and doctoral candidates — until recently. For John Bowlt, professor of Slavic studies in the USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences and the institute director, opening the collections to his undergraduate students was not only a logical decision, but an easy one.
"Right now, there seems to be less interest in Russia, in general, in America. There's not a necessity as there was in the old days to know about the enemy — because Russia's no more the enemy of America," Bowlt said. "So therefore we have to counter that by trying to find more people whose interest in Russia might be kindled."
The students in his Russian culture course, which is focused on literature and art from the 19th and 20th centuries, affirm that Bowlt has succeeded. Three of his students from last semester are currently supported by the College's SOAR (Student Opportunities for Academic Research) program — which awards fellowships to conduct research that will culminate in publication or a collection, in collaboration with a faculty sponsor — and now work in the institute. Senior Haley Reed assists curator Oleg Minin, Ph.D. '08, in cataloging the extensive Ferris Collection of Sovietica, which includes such items as a permit to attend a parade in the Red Square, Communist party membership cards, bronze and porcelain busts of Stalin and Lenin, a Gorbachev matrushka doll, and post-Soviet era trinkets.
"It's a very fascinating time in Russian history, and Soviet era," Reed said. "We, in the West, were very closed off — so it's interesting to see a window into it. It's also interesting to see what Russian people thought American tourists would want to buy."
Reed measures, photographs and describes each artifact in as much detail as possible. Once assigned to a section such as bronzes, porcelains or posters, the item is numbered, which is how it will be found in the online catalogue Reed is compiling for her SOAR project.
"It's a blessing and a curse, in a way," Reed said, "because there's so many different things that it would be impossible to really organize it perfectly, but it's amazing how much they have here, I wish more people could come see it."
Overseen by Mark Konecny, the institute's assistant director, sophomore Philip Meyer's work at the IMRC is focused on updating the institute's Web site, which will incorporate Reed's catalogue of photographs in addition to gramophone recordings, a searchable database of the institute's collections and materials for the classes taught by Bowlt.
"[Working on the Web site] gives me the opportunity to see a little bit of everything," said Meyer, who came to the College as a history major, before deciding on a double major of Russian and international relations. "It's really oriented towards the general public."
Tiffany Schallert, a senior, works closely with Ph.D. candidate Adele Di Ruocco, and is currently examining the Ladyzhensky collection, which relates to author and poet Boris Pasternak, best known outside of Russia for his book, Doctor Zhivago.
In addition to books, the collection includes photographs, which Schallert has been studying. "They really give you a window into this person. He [Pasternak] never smiles, in any of them. You kind of get an idea of how difficult his life was."
The opportunity for that insight is precisely why people seek out Bowlt at the IMRC, and Bowlt is the reason so many students have developed a fascination with the Russian culture. Neither Schallert, Meyer nor Reed had heard of the IMRC prior to attending the College, but were drawn in after taking the Russian culture class.
In the future Bowlt hopes to organize a music room downstairs in the IMRC where interested parties can listen to Russian gramophone recordings, and perhaps even set up a small cabaret theater.
"By opening up the institute to more undergraduates, I think we'll be able to spread the word about Russia," Bowlt said. "It's weird, it's bizarre, it's magic, and we try to transmit those ideas, especially to undergraduates today."

In the boxboard industry it is necessary to effect the rapid handling of sheets of corrugated board or fiberboard after they have been cut off by a knife in the previous step of the manufacture, usually a corrugator, and deliver them rapidly to form a stack for further handling or shipping. Numerous machines have been,constructed for this purpose, all of which have certain features in common. Namely, these consist of conveying the sheets from the cut-off knife of the previous operation on an upwardly inclining conveyor to an elevator platform and depositing them thereon. The platform is then timed to descend gradually as the sheets pile up from the conveyor and when a certain predetermined height of sheets is reached, stopping he flow of sheets to the elevator and discharging the stack for further processing or shipment, then returning the elevator to its upper height limit and repeating the cycle for the next batch.
In the course of movement of the sheets it is necessary to cause them to overlap or effect what is known in the trade as "shingling" in order to help in forming the sheets into a pile. This shingling may be effected by varying the speeds of intermittent conveyors arranged in linear aspect to each other and by the use of various stops and gripping mechanisms to hold the sheets in position.
Since the sheets are inherently flimsy in nature it is difficult to maintain their proper alignment for conveying and stacking and they are consequently given to running askew, causing entanglement and jamming of the conveyor line and otherwise interrupting the operation.
The best known prior art known to the applicant which has been developed to solve some of these problems is covered by the patents listed below.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,168 to Grobman discloses and claims an elevator disposed to receive sheets in the form of a stack from a horizontal conveyor, the elevator being designed to lower to a hydraulic actuated parallelogram mechanism as the sheets accumulate. When the stack has reached a predetermined height, stop fingers operate to stop the flow of sheets to the elevator while suitably positioned pusher mechanism transfers the stack to further conveyors. No provision is made for the shingling of the sheets during the handling process. It utilizes a parallelogram mechanism to lower the stack and mechanical pusher to remove same from elevator. No special sheet handling on conveyors are provided.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,905,595 to Adams discloses a more or less conventional inclined conveyor operating at a speed slower than the rate of discharge of the sheets from the preceding operation in order to effect the shingling along their lengths. The sheets are discharged to an elevator designed to lower as the stack accumulates with provisions consisting of mechanical stops to interrupt the flow of sheets while the stack is being discharged from the elevator at its predetermined height after which it is again returned. The claimed novelty lies in the method of driving the elevator which consists of hydraulically operated chain drives at opposite corners of the platform with leveling means for the elevator platform, the base of which consists of chain driven rollers. The claimed novel leveling means comprises two tortion bars at opposite ends of the elevator platform driven by chains corresponding to vertical movement of the platform. No novel sheet handling means are disclosed or claimed.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,040,618 to Vermes utilizes a long inclined conveyor operating at a slow speed on which the shingling is effected. This conveyor discharges to a second conveyor operating at a higher speed which discharges the shingled sheets to the elevator. The latter is likewise constructed to lower as the sheets accumulate and discharge when the pile is completed. Operation depends on controlling the rate of speeds of the long shingling conveyor with the short transfer conveyor whereby the speed of the shingling conveyor is decreased while the speed of the transfer conveyor is increased while the flow of sheets from the shingling conveyor to the transfer conveyor is arrested when the stack is being discharged from the elevator. The controlled speed transfer conveyor and quadruple set of mechanical or positive stops are required and are conducive to skewing and jamming of the sheets enroute to the elevator.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,276 to Marschke. In this system the sheets are received from the knife of a corrugator or other previous processing machine by high speed conveyor which feeds them into a slower speed or shingling conveyor which is vacuum assisted to receive a predetermined amount of shingling. They are then fed into an intermediate or accumulating conveyor on which they are permitted to accumulate or pile up as it were before discharging the final long incline conveyor which feeds to the stack forming elevator. Normally this conveyor operates at the same speed as the accumulating conveyor except when the stack is nearing its top or completion state when this conveyor is speeded up and discharges the remaining counted sheets onto the stack, leaving the trailing sheets on the accumulating conveyor until a control discharges the stack from the elevator and causes the latter to rise again, whereupon the conveyor speeds are restored to their normal value for shingling and handling and the process continues and is repeated. This is primarily a method patent. It requires four sets of conveyors, stops and controls to operate making the latter quite complex and unreliable.
In none of the prior art is any provision made to insure constant and uniform travel of the sheets on the conveyors to prevent their skewing and jamming o otherwise interrupt the smooth operation of the machine because of non-uniform travel of the sheets. My novel control and synchronizing of the flow of sheets through the machine and improved conveyor construction overcomes long standing problems.
I incorporate a number of novel features in my construction to produce the smooth operation of the machine through better control of the flow of sheets to the downstacking elevator, the flow in my case being continuous at all times throughout the cycle.
In particular I utilize high speed accelerating rollers to feed my sheets from the cut-off knife of the previous processing machine to a flow control conveyor operating at a reduced speed. This is a relatively short conveyor that is constructed to be tilted angularly by means of a hydraulic piston so that the conveyor may be tilted to slow the flow forward as the sheets are fed to it and to assist in the formation of shingled bundles in which the shingling may be as high as 80%, and utilizes a vacuum to assist in holding the sheets on the conveyor. I eliminate the use of a separate accumulating or accumulator conveyor and positive stops and feed the shingled sheets directly onto my main conveyor which is a long inclined conveyor normally operating at the same speed as my feed control conveyor, the former feeding my sheets to the stacking elevator through a pair of pinch rollers, the lower roller being constructed with a friction surface and being motor driven while the upper roller, having a smooth surface and being hydraulically mounted to exert pressure on the stack of sheets as they pass through. The sheets are then fed into the stacking elevator which is of a construction more simplified than those previously used. The downward movement of the elevator which is hydraulically operated, is timed to correspond with the numerical count of sheets as they leave the cut-off knife as is the coordination of the speeds of the conveyors as well as the discharge of the sheet stack and return of the elevator to its initial position after the stack has been discharged.
During the discharge period of my cycle, the reduced speed of my feed control conveyor together with its inclination accumulates and prevents the discharge of sheets to the main conveyor now operating at high speed, while at the same time increasing the shingling of the sheets which continue forward in low motion. At no time do the sheets completely stop in their forward movement.
I have discovered also that much of the difficulty encountered with existing machines may be attributed to the non-uniform rate of the travel of sheets upon the conveyors despite the constant speed of the driving pulleys. By experimentation I have discovered that this fluctuation in speed is due to the non-uniformity of the construction of the conveyor belting in that the construction of most commercial rubber or composition coated fabric or fiber-belting is not uniform in the location of the central fabric with respect to the conveying surfaces. Since the linear travel of the conveyor is governed by the action of the pulley upon the central fiber or tension bearing member of the belt, such variation in construction renders the travel of the surface of the belt non-uniform. In fact, in the distances encountered as represented by the length of some of the longer conveyor belts, the difference in movement of the surface of the belt may vary by several inches from that expected from the linear travel of the surface of the driving pulley.
I have overcome this problem by utilizing what may be called a double layer multiple belting arrangement in which the conveyor comprises a plurality of narrow belts spaced apart uniformly across the pulley over its entire length with a second layer of similar belts overlapping the first layer in the spaces left by the spacing of the latter. Thus, for example, I may use a plurality of belts 6 inches wide for my first layer spacing them 3 inches apart and having my second layer overlap these by 11/2 inches on either edge. The lower layer of belts thus becomes a driving belt and the upper layer becomes a carrier belt. In this manner I minimize and practically eliminate the non-uniformity of the travel of the belt insofar as the outer or carrying surface of my double layer construction is concerned.
My construction thus avoids the use of a plurality of conveyors and positive stops thus simplifying the operation and avoiding skewing and jamming of the sheets which occurs with previous constructions. This is accomplished by the continuous and smooth flow of sheets throughout the operation including elimination of fluctuation in speeds of individual sheets while operating at any set velocity.

Reference should first be had to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 since these should be read together, FIG. 1 representing a schematic diagram showing the flow of the paperboard sheets through the machine with the relative position of the component parts A through H while FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show the general structural arrangement and relative position of the principal component parts of the machine. Thus, A represents diagrammatically paperboard being fed from a roll or preliminary processing machine which may be a corrugator to cut-off knife B . This may be any one of a type used in the industry to produce the sheets S whose proper handling is a primary object of this invention. The sheets are fed into an accelerator, component C driven by motor M-1 which operates at a speed greater than that represented by the travel of the sheets through cutter B in order to effect their proper spacing for reasons explained below. This component is more fully described and shown in FIG. 4.
From here the sheets S are fed into component D which is a flow control conveyor. This comprises a plurality of endless belts disposed for tilting in a vertical plane and equipped with a source of vacuum indicated by V to effect the control of the flow of sheets through the machine. It is driven by motor M-2 and is shown and described more fully in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6.
From here the sheets are fed into an incline main feed conveyor component E. This also comprises a plurality of endless belts in overlapping layers for reasons indicated below and as shown and described in more detail at FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. It is driven by motor M-3 which also serves to drive the next component.
This is component F which is a conveyor discharge, nip rollers, and spanker bar . These combine to effect the proper discharge on to elevator H and are more fully shown and described in FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 8A. and FIG. 8B.
Component G is an adjustable backstop to assist in stacking of the sheets on the platform of elevator H after leaving component F. It is driven by motor M-4 and is more fully shown and described in FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11.
Component H is an elevator having a platform comprised of power driven conveyor rollers driven by motor M-5. The elevator platform is raised and lowered by means of a hydraulic piston P operating through suitable chains and supplied with hydraulic power from a conventional hydraulic power source I which supplies hydraulic power also to other components as described more fully below. Component H, the elevator, is more fully shown and described in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The above components are mounted and supported as needed from the machine structures shown at 20 and 30 on FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. and also on the drawings as pertinent.
Shown also on FIG. 1 are a number of devices essential to the operation and control of the machine as shown on FIG. 13 and described more fully under the heading of "Operation" below. These are as follows. A counter t located on cut-off knife B counts the number of sheets cut off and used to control the size of the batch delivered to elevator H. Rollers r deliver cut-off sheets to accelerator C. A photoelectric cell p-1 is located between cut-off knife B and accelerator C, the distance d between these two components being less than the length of the shortest sheet to be cut to insure continuity of the count. A second photoelectric cell p-2 located at the top of the travel of the platform of elevator component H controls the downward operation of the elevator as sheets are discharged to it. A third photoelectric cell p-3 located at the base of the travel of the platform of elevator H controls the operation of the power driven rollers of the elevator platform when they are operated to discharge the sheets from the platform. A limit switch 1s, also located at the bottom of the travel of the platform of elevator H, serves to control the movement of the platform. The inter-relation of all of these devices is shown on FIG. 13 and described more fully under the heading of "Operation" below.
Referring now to FIG. 4, shown accelerator component C there is seen the driving motor M-1 connected to a pair of spur gears 1 and 1a which in turn drive belts 2 and 2a and they in turn operate rollers 3 and 3a. The function of the spur gears is to maintain positive synchronism between the operation of rollers 3 and 3a. Roller 3 is swingable upwards in a direction shown by arrows 4 and the sheets pass between the rollers in the direction shown by arrow 5. The speed of motor M-1 is controlled from a tachometer on cutting knife B (not shown) so as to maintain it at a speed of ten percent above that of the cutting knife B. In this manner effective movement of sheets S from the cutting knife is effected and their proper spacing maintained as they proceed toward flow control conveyor D.
Referring now to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, there is seen the tilting flow control vacuum conveyor component D. First there is seen a plurality of parallel endless belts having friction surfaces 11 riding over driving or head pulley 12 which is stationary in position and tail pulley 13 which is disposed for pivoting around the axis of head pulley 12 in a vertical plane to an angle of 13° as shown in its position 13a. The angular movement of this pulley is effected by means of hydraulic plunger 14 which is a part of the hydraulic system supplied by component I shown on FIG. 3.
A support plate 15 is positioned beneath the carrying surfaces of belts 11. This plate is preferably made of a ductile material such as a standard plastic and is equipped with flexible sealing fingers 16 and holes 16a. The holes 16a connect with a source of vacuum V by means of pipe connection 17. By this means a continuous vacuum from a source not shown is exerted against sheets riding on top of the conveyor belts, the vacuum causing fingers 16 to rise and make contact with the bottom of the traveling sheets, thus tending to seal the vacuum against the sheets and make its action more effective than that obtained by previous vacuum conveyors in use. Hold down brushes 18 which may be of plastic or wire with adjustment 19 are positioned above the conveyor and assist in maintaining the sheets in position while they travel on conveyor belts 11. The machine is driven by motor M-2 and the entire assembly is mounted on the machine structure 20 indicated on FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
Reference should now again be had to FIG. 5 as well as FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 in which are shown details of main feed conveyor component E. On this conveyor two sets of a plurality of parallel endless belts are used, one superimposed upon the other. A first set 21 which represents the carrying belts with their friction surface are superimposed upon a second set 21a, the long edges of belts 21 overlapping the parallel edges of belts 21a by approximately 11/2 inches. Belts 21a also having friction surfaces represent the driving belts as distinguished from the carrying belts 21 and are driven by motor M-3. Tail pulleys for belts 21 are shown at 22 and for belts 21a at 23. These are located on the receiving end of conveyor E. At the discharge end of the conveyor are seen head or driving pulleys 24 for conveyor 21a and head pulleys 25 for conveyor 21. This conveyor is likewise equipped with hold down brushes 26 with adjustments 27 located at the receiving end of the conveyor as seen on FIG. 5.
Seen also on FIG. 7 are nip rollers 28 supported on swinging arm shown as 29 and shown and described more fully on FIG. 8. The total assembly is mounted on the conveyor structural frame 30 shown on FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The nip roller 28 forms a part of component F located between the discharge point of conveyor E and elevator H as described more fully below.
Reference should now be had to FIG. 8 which is a side elevation of the driven or discharge end of the feed conveyor component E showing a portion of component F. Shown here are previously referred to lower belt driving pulleys 24 and upper belt conveying pulleys 25, upper nip roller 28, as well as lower nip roller 31 and driving motor M-3. Mounting plate 41 is supported on conveyor structure 30 and carries lever arm 42 and yoke arm 43, these being keyed together on shaft 44. Bearing 45 is carried by yoke arm 43 and supports top nip roller 28. Nip roller 28 is an idler roller and is thus seen to swing about shaft 44 increasing the gap between the two nip rollers and permitting stacks of sheets of various heights coming from the conveyor to pass through. The rise and fall of nip roller 28 is controlled by shock absorber 46 and adjustable stop 47. Nip roller 31 is driven by means of chain drive 48 from lower conveyor drive pulley 24 which in turn is driven by another chain drive 48a from motor M-3 as described previously. This mechanism serves to deliver single sheets or bundles of sheets from the conveyor to the elevator platform which action is augmented by spanker bar mechanism described below.
I have found that relying on the inertia of the sheets discharging from nip rollers 28 and 31 in the direction shown by the arrow of FIG. 8A is insufficient to insure proper stacking of the sheets on the elevator platform. A positive means for aligning the sheets to form a neat stack was found necessary. This I accomplish by the paddle or spanker bar mechanism shown and described in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B which represents a decided improvement over previous practices in the art.
Reference should be had to FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B on which are seen the nip rollers and spanker bar mechanism which form a part of component F of the machine. Here seen are top nip roller 28, previously referred to, and lower nip roller 31 with drive shaft 32. The latter actually comprises a plurality of rollers spaced apart and having friction surfaces. The lower nip roller 31 is driven from lower conveyor drive pulley 24 while the upper nip roller 28 is an idler as more fully shown and described previously in FIG. 8.
Positioned between rollers 31 are a plurality of cams 33 driven by shaft 32 of lower nip rollers 31 and having followers 34. A spanker bar 35 extends across most of the width of the conveyors and incorporates a plurality of fingers 35A. A bracket 36 supports a pivot 37 on which the spanker bar 35 is mounted. Spanker bar 35 oscillates about pivot 37 under the action of cams 33. Spring 38 mounted on bracket 36 by hook 39 urges followers 34 against cams 33.
As sheets pass through the nip rollers 28 and 31, fingers 35A oscillate at a relatively high velocity under the action of cams 33, strike their trailing edges as they are discharged onto elevator platform roller 62, thus effecting their alignment into a neat stack.
Reference should now be had to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 which show the backstop mechanism component G which forms a part of elevator H and serves to assist in forming the stack upon the elevator platform. It is adjustable in position across the elevator platform in direction of travel of the sheets and supported from the platform by support bracket 50 and support arm 50a. The stop plate itself, 51 shown carried by the bracket 50 may be made of resilient or elastomeric material to avoid damage to the sheets when they strike the plate. The sheets are guided downwards into a stack by spring hold down members 52 which may be of leaf spring material and are a plurality in number carried by spring holder shaft 53 across the width of the stop plate itself which is somewhat less than the width of the elevator platform. A weight support shaft 54 and counter weight and shaft 55 serve to provide adjustment for hold down members 52.
Provision is made for positioning the backstop as referred to above comprising a drive shaft 56 driven by motor M-4 and engaging sprocket and chain drive 57 which may be seen better on FIG. 11. The backstop support is disposed to ride on V-shaped sheaves 58 riding on circular rail 59 lengthwise of the platform 61 of elevator H. The position of the backstop along the length of the elevator platform may be adjusted from the central control system described below.
Reference should now be had to FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 on which are seen various views of the elevator component H which while being termed an elevator in the trade, in effect functions as a lowerator and serves to accumulate a predetermined number of sheets as delivered from the previous components and deliver a stack so formed for further disposition and use.
The elevator comprises a hollow frame structure 60 and a platform 61 which is comprised primarily of a plurality of live or power driven conveyor rollers 62 supported at their mid-points by a plurality of idler rollers 63 by means of platform structure 61a. Hydraulic operating cylinders P supplied by hydraulic power source I shown on FIG. 2 serves to operate chains 64 engaging sprockets 65, one end of the chains being positioned on the platform at 66 and the opposite end on the elevator structure at 66a.
To insure proper operation of the platform in maintaining it at all times parallel to the horizontal, leveling chain 67 is provided which engages leveling sprockets 68 and is anchored at its opposite ends to the top and bottom of elevator structure 60 respectively at 69. Sprockets 68 rotate about leveling shafts 70 which are rotatably mounted on platform 61.
Live conveyor rollers 62 mentioned above, are mounted on platform 61 by means of bearings 71, each roller having a central shaft and carrying thereon worm wheel 72. Worm shaft 73 runs the entire length of platform 61 and engages each worm wheel in turn. Worm 73 is driven by motor M-5, also carried on platform 61, as indicated schematically on FIG. 2.
Reference should now be had to FIG. 13 which is a logical diagram illustrating the system of control and the method of operation of the machine. The components and their related control elements are identified by their corresponding letters as described on FIG. 1.
Thus the critical speeds, namely speed A, Speed 1, Speed 2 and Speed 3 for motors M-1, M-2 and M-3 are indicated. Their inter-relationship is explained under "Operation" below. The counter t on knife B controls the height of the stack of sheets on elevator H. This is also governed by what is shown as the order entry to storage of the caliper or thickness of the sheets and their length. The latter controls the position of backstop G which is governed by position sensing device ps which may be a pulse generator. Elevator position control through the hydraulic controls and elevator cylinder P is effected by load build eye p-2. Sheets piling up on platform of elevator H intercept p-2 which continues platform in descent until it strikes position sensing device or limit switch 1s which also starts off load drive motor M-5 which continues until interrupted by p-3. All of the foregoing is explained more fully under "Operation" below.
Reference should now be had to the drawings - FIG. 1 through FIG. 1D to understand the method of operation of the invention and to FIG. 13 for the control.
Step 1 (FIG. 1.) At the start of the operating cycle the number and thickness of sheets S desired is fed into the central computerized control shown on FIG. 13. The speed of corrugator A which is equipped with a tachometer is synchronized with the speed of knife B also equipped with a tachometer and controls the rate of output of the machine. The "SPEED A" of the accelerator C is automatically adjusted to be ten percent above the speed of knife B for proper handling of the sheets at this point. The "SPEED 1" of flow control conveyor D and main feed conveyor E at this time are set at twenty percent of the knife speed (usually in the range of 50 to 170 feet per minute) which provides for up to eighty percent overlapping or shingling. The roller platform of elevator H at this time is close to the top of its travel at which point is located photoelectric cell p2. The elevator platform starts to descend continuously under control of photoelectric cell p2 as it is intercepted by sheets stacking up on the elevator.
Step 2. (FIG. 1A) When the number of sheets cut by knife B reaches a predetermined number as determined by knife counter t on knife B, conveyors D and E shift to a high "SPEED 2" (about 450 feet per minute) for a few seconds or until conveyor D is cleared.
Step 3. (FIG. 1B) As soon as a conveyor D is cleared, its back end is tilted downward and at the same time it slows down to a "SPEED 3" (approximately 17 feet per minute) which interrupts the flow of sheets to conveyor E and the sheets then accumulate while moving slowly forward on conveyor D. Conveyor E continues at "SPEED 2" and elevator platform continues downward.
Step 4. (FIG. 1C) When elevator platform strikes limit switch 1s (stack has usually attained the height of approximately 72 inches at this point), it starts the elevator platform rollers rotating at high speed to discharge the stack of sheets. At the same time conveyor D tilts back up again discharging its accumulated sheets upon conveyor E and both conveyors resume "SPEED 1". Elevator rollers continue discharging for a set time and until the sheets clear the photoelectric cell p3.
Step 5. (FIG. 1D) Elevator returns to the initial position it occupied at start of FIG. 1 while conveyors D and E continue to operate at "SPEED 1". Sheets S including the accumulated sheets from conveyor D advance along conveyor E and then start discharging on the elevator to start step 1 again.
It is thus seen how only two conveyors are employed in this method and no positive stops of any kind are needed to impede the movement of the sheets, thus being more simple and avoiding many of the problems inherent in other methods and systems of handling sheets for purposes of stacking.

Matt Murray isn't in the mood to think about what it all means, this ride that he's on. The NHL's best team on the other side of the ice. His mentor watching from bench. An arena chanting his name.
For the moment, there is only the next game, the next shot. That's all that concerns the Pittsburgh Penguins rookie goaltender. Not the ripple effects his playoff run will have on his career, the franchise he plays for or the long-term future of Marc-Andre Fleury, whose guidance is one of the reasons Murray has become so good, so fast.
"I want to win," Murray said. "On a personal level, I think it really doesn't matter. Everything else is noise to me."

Australia Law
Ask an Australia Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
I would like to know my rights as a beneficiary? My mum passed away in August of 2009 and my eldest brother and my eldest sister were named as executors. They helped themselves to everything in mum's house and passed a few items to their children. There are eight siblings and nobody knows what was in the house as the executors had cleared the place before anyone had a chance. Also the house has just been sold and nobody was told it was on the market even. What are my rights? Should the selling of the house be communicated to the beneficiaries or should we be letting the executors handle everything and we as beneficiaries wait until the estate has been settled.
Have you seen the Will?
Have they appointed a Solicitor?
I haven't seen the will. The executors have not allowed it. All they said was that the will was straightforward. Everything in the estate is to be divided between the eight remaining siblings. Mum had a solicitor to which the three eldest siblings (not just the two executors) have seen. All I know is that he is in our home town. I would need to ring one of the executors to find out the solicitors name and number. I assume I could phone the solicitor himself and request him to send a copy of the will to me. Is that correct? Also, just for information. My father passed away in 1994 and the will was not changed after he passed.
As a beneficiary under the will you are entitled to see the will the executors cannot refuse you access.
You can contact the Solicitor yourself as a beneficiary. If he won't give you the Solicitors details then you can contact the Supreme Court in your state and ask them if probate has been issued in this matter and if they have an application they can advise you of the name of the Solicitor.
It is the job of the executor to look after the estate for the benefit of the beneficiaries. If they do not do this the executors can be held personally liable.
They cannot change a will after the passing of the person. Only he can make changes before he dies.
If it is the executors job to look after the estate for the benefit of the beneficiaries then being 'first in' to get assets, and not distributing these assets equally amongst the beneficiaries, is not following the wishes of the deceased. I would have thought that communicating the events of an estate would be part of the executor's duties. So I guess my question is if I am able to obtain the will and the will does state that everything is too divided equally amongst the eight siblings then how do I go about contesting or do I ring the solicitor first to inform him that the wishes of the deceased have not been done? What do the beneficiaries get when the estate has settled? Do we get an itemized account of assets, liabilities, costs incurred eg funeral and solicitor costs or do we get a check from the solicitor without any itemized account?
You can get the will provided you are a beneficiary named in it.
If the will says everything to be divided equally and it has not you can take the executor to task for failing to comply with his obligations.
If it has been finalized they can file an application with the court against the executor.
You can ask for accounts from the Solicitor and the probate to see what is in the estate. If there are discrepancies the executor has to explain.
What do you mean by 'take the executor to task'?
If it has been finalized 'they' who is they? Is it me as a beneficiary or the executors?
Also, as for the accounts by the probate do you mean that I need to contact the Supreme Court for these details if I cannot get them from the solicitor? Sorry but I want to be very clear on my rights.
I mean you can sue him for not doing the right thing and have him provide an explanation why and if need be pay compensation.
They are the beneficiaries who did not receive their entitlements.
To collect assets and distribute them you need to obtain probate from the court. The Solicitor should have a copy of the probate. If not call the court and they will give you a copy.

Now that Altadena's trash collection is coralled in Athens Services' trash carts, some complaints have emerged about residents keeping their trash carts in the street for days, or sometimes all week.
Christine Wong of the county Department of Public Works e-mailed us to say that there is only a limited amount of time when the trash carts are supposed to be out. The county code (20.72.110) specifies that trash carts can only go out after 5 PM the day before pickup, and removed no later than 8 PM on collection day.
For any questions regarding this matter or to report a violation, please contact the Department of Public Works' Residential Trash Collection Hotline at (800) 993-5844. The Department of Public Works will assist by tagging the containers that are in violation of the County Code. If the violation persists, cases will be referred to the Department of Public Health for additional enforcement.

Day care behavior problems not major concern, child care expert says
A recent study from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development found that children who spent time in child care centers had more behavior problems, but children in high-quality centers had better vocabularies than their peers.
Dr. Angela Nievar, assistant professor of development and family studies at the University of North Texas, says the findings about behavior problems are a concern, but she says it's more important for parents to spend quality time with their kids. Nievar, an expert in mother-child attachment and parental empowerment, has worked on the large national study about child care, but she did not participate in this most recent part of the study.
"We're not talking about serious problems here. This does not mean that the children are going to be juvenile delinquents," Nievar says of the behavior problems cited in the study, released March 26.
However, she says children who receive little time with their parents during their early years because both parents work long hours, coupled with parents who are stressed, are a concern. Children who are in child care centers for 10 or 12 hours a day may not have enough time with their parents to develop a secure emotional relationship, Nievar says.
"The study emphasized that the quality of parenting is much more important than any other factor in a child's life, and obviously, quantity of parenting matters, too," she says. "Young children also have trouble with large group sizes in getting their emotional needs met. Some other studies have shown this is particularly true for children that are naturally shy or timid."
She agreed that children who receive high-quality care have better vocabularies.
"Theoretically, they hear more adult language in child care centers, and they have to use more language to get their needs met and interact with their teachers and friends," Nievar says.
The same could be done at home, she notes.
"If parents talk to their children frequently at home, 'bathing the child in language,' as one professor put it, they should have a better vocabulary," she says.
