Kidney Bean Sausage Supper Recipe
I'm always looking for nutritious and tasty meals that do not take a lot to time to prepare," says Carol Strong Battle of Hearthsville, Virginia. "I created this bean and sausage dish by combining ingredients I happened to have on hand. I makes a filling and satisfying supper."
- 1 pound turkey Italian sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large green pepper, julienned
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- Hot cooked rice
- 1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the green pepper, onion and broth; cover and cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve in bowls over rice. Yield: 4 servings.

Molly's Group
Molly has a dream of expanding her business further, educating her children, plus being rich. She needs a loan to help expand her businesses so that she will be able to get school fees for her children since 2 are at the university, 1 in senior Two, while the last born is in Primary Seven vacation. Molly is the leader of her lending group in Kihihi.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

November 4, 2010 | Tom Tritton
I am a dedicated aficionado of still photography and derive deep aesthetic pleasure from well-crafted images. Thus, one of my favorite moments each year is the announcement of top entries to the Nikon Small World competition for best scientific images. This year's crop offers the expected array of stunning photography and blazingly colorful pictures of (mostly microscopic) scientific subjects.
The first-place winner was Jonas King of Vanderbilt University for his photomicrograph of a mosquito heart (did you even know mosquitoes had hearts?). Stained with a green fluorescent dye, the muscle fibers are reminiscent of a Henri Matisse painting and would surely stand alone on a gallery wall as a nonrepresentational work of modern art.
The second- and third-place winners were confocal images of various zebrafish parts (head and olfactory bulbs, to be specific). There are nice links to the underlying scientific techniques for those interested in more than the purely visual delight.
Most of the images rely on fluorescence to enhance the striking colors and patterns of nature. One that doesn't is a 10X monotone micrograph of a wasp nest, which is hauntingly beautiful in its crisp simplicity.
My favorite is an image of one of biomedicine's iconic cell lines—HeLa—derived from the cervical cancer of Henrietta Lacks, whose story was beautifully told in a recent best seller by Rebecca Skloot. The picture is a vivid micrograph of the cells caught in the act of telophase (cell division). No modesty allowed in scientific imagery!

Netch Jelly

- Main article: Ingredients (Dragonborn)
Netch Jelly is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. It can be used to make potions at an alchemy lab as part of Alchemy.
Fetch the NetchEdit
The Dragonborn must retrieve five Netch Jelly samples for Milore Ienth.
- Dropped by Netches.
- Two can be found in the Alchemy Lab during the quest The Final Descent.
- Main article: Potions (Skyrim)
|Fortify Carry Weight
|Restore Stamina
† multiple effects
- This is the only ingredient with Paralysis as a first effect. This means that when it is consumed, the Dragonborn will be paralyzed. This can be done without alchemy perks, unlike other ingredients with the effect.
- It is wise to keep Netch Jelly on hand in case of falls because when eaten right before hitting the ground, a fall that would normally kill the Dragonborn will instead allow them to hit the ground with no damage taken.

Fan Club Sneak Peek
Even more exciting than the opening of the gallery is the announcement of the two newest Dirty Girls. Each month, two designers rotate out, making room for two new ones. And this month's pair is a sure hit! It's a rockin' mother-daughter team: Dawn Lusk (DawnL) and Amber Hillman (bambi64). They've both dazzled us with their creations this month - you MUST see!
If the many perks of a Fan Club membership sound appealing, a one-year membership can be yours for the special holiday price of only $19.95 (regular price $24.95). Already a member? Consider giving Fan Club memberships as gifts!
From a purely selfish standpoint, I'm so excited about the gallery being public because I spend sooooo much of my stamping time on these projects and then can't show them here (sniff, sniff). This month, you can see some of what's been keeping me so busy that I haven't been blogging as much. How about a preview?
And a close-up?
See that fuzzy collar?! I used some Baby Pink Flower Soft to get that look. Her friend has an Ivory Flower Soft boa, and there's some on the pink lady's fuzzy boots, too. This stuff is soooooo cool! And super easy to use!
Now don't wait another minute ... run, run, run visit the complete gallery. Enjoy!

App description:
BRAND NEW UPDATE: with new JAW-DROPPING RETINA GRAPHICS for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C and iPad with Retina display, as well as new ON-RAILS action in the next generation arcade-style 3D SHMUP that is Quantum Legacy HD! Pilot one of 4 unique spaceships during your 3+ hour ON-RAILS journey through 20 action-packed ON-RAILS SHMUP missions filled with breathtaking cinematic game play and highly stylized storytelling, EXCLUSIVELY on the iOS! Featuring:
Brand New SHMUP DLC: offers a new playable drop-ship, 50% faster SHMUP-style game-play, new level variations, new graphics/effects, new AI, plus a never before experienced speed and finger-twitch ON-RAILS intensity worthy of a next-gen 3D Space SHMUP!
Enjoy Simple and Intuitive Controls: tilt your iOS device left/right to steer your ship manually while providing an opportunity for a skillful avoidance of enemy projectiles.
Alternatively, for a casual ON-RAILS experience: forgo tilting and simply tap your enemies to engage the Auto Pilot while controlling your shields and weapons with a smooth 2-button interface.
Bright and awe-inspiring JAW-DROPPING SHUMP graphics with highly polished game play will take your breath away! For the first time ever, Quantum Legacy HD provides you with full native retina support on the iPhone 5, and iPad with Retina display.
20 story-oriented SHUMP campaign missions offer over 3 hours of action-packed SHMUP-style game play.
Face more than 25 different types of enemies, including unique Gigantic Bosses in every mission.
RPG Style Progression System allows you to FREELY acquire, pilot and level-up 4 unique starships (including a brand new drop-ship) while unlocking over 16 different types of shield and weapon upgrades.
5 Brand new In-App Purchases allow you to skip the RPG grind and instantly acquire any of the playable ships! In addition, you can Restore your existing purchases to unlock content on multiple iOS devices.
Game Center support: with 6 SHUMP-DLC Leaderboards and 21 elusive SHUMP Achievements that demand an additional 10+ hours of game play.
Over 40 minutes of original music was created to accompany your Quantum Legacy HD experience.
Highly Stylized and Action-Oriented Storytelling is told through the com-sat radio of your starship, with full voice-overs for the game's array of quirky characters.
SHUMP AI with Dynamic Difficulty and Randomized Enemy Waves: provide for a near endless replay value, as the enemies constantly change and adapt to your style of game play each time you engage an existing mission.
>> Game Play Basics:
Steer your ship manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the ON-RAILS "Autopilot". To maximize damage, it is best to be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right "Weapons/Fire" button. Holding the left "Shield" button will allow you to deflect all enemy projectiles. Prolonged use of the Weapons/Shields will cause a temporary overload. Note that it is NOT possible to fire your weapons while Shields are active until you level-up your starship and unlock Translucent Shielding at Level 5.
Successfully completing each mission will unlock new game content while allowing you to level-up in an RPG-like fashion. Completing missions 5, 10 and 15 will allow you to FREELY acquire one of 4 unique playable starships.
>> IN THE PRESS: What others are saying about Quantum Legacy:
- "this is the evolution of the space shooter game." -iPadGameReviews.org
- "... youd be hard-pressed to find any space shooter that matches Quantum Legacys level of quality." -PocketNext.com
- "One of the best 2 button games on the iOS." -TouchArcade Forums.

The first/free QL game had a development time of 9 months. It had 1 playable ship and 4 levels at the release (with another level added on top of the RPG-like upgrade/progression functionality that came with a free update). It was downloaded by over 50,000 people and had an average review rating of 4.5 stars. It was never mentioned by anyone in the press, nor was it ever promoted by Apple. The only thing it had going for it was the ".99 cent Support Token" IAP which was driven by the "honor system".
Before it was pulled from the App Store a week ago, the total "profits" from the IAP were at staggering $150. (That's less than 2 bills, and definitely a LOT less than what is needed to cover the original 9 months of development). Perhaps some of you are NOT surprised by this fact, but I definitely was
Originally, a few of the users on this forum called the above an "experiment" and indeed it was. All of the feedback from the players was gathered (including the lack of support) and was put towards the HD version of the game you see today (which now has an additional 6 month development time/cost added to it).
As for "what you get"? All of the info is mentioned in the game's description as well as the screenshots. The first game had 5 levels, this game has 20. The first game had 1 playable ship, this one has 4. The first game had 6 shield/weapon upgrades, and this one has 16. And of course Game Center support and a more cohesive story was added as well (as per the user's requests/responses) and NONE of the original game levels were re-used (so you should NOT feel as though you are paying to re-play the original/free game).
There is no IAP this time around, and I can assure you that the aim was never to "rip anyone off". If you thought that the content in the original game was between $1-2, then I can assure you that the content of this game does indeed justify the $5 price tag.
And as for the game's style/genre? It is what it is. If you are NOT a fan of on-rails shooters, then this game is NOT for you. It is that simple
As mentioned already in this thread, there are plenty of "virtual joystick" style games out there, and while you could say that Q-Legacy is "inferior" due to it's on-rails concept, at least it tries to be unique with what it delivers (and is far from being just another clone on the App Store).
On another note: the members of this forum were one of the few who supported the original game, so if you feel that you were "cheated" in any way by offering your IAP support the first time around (only to see the game being pulled and replaced by another version) and/or if you feel you are unable to spare the $5 needed to "support" this game, please feel free to shoot me an email (either via this forum contact, or the support link on the App Store) and I will be glad to provide you with a free promo code to the new game.
Lastly, for those who recall the original game info, please keep in mind that Q-Legacy is NOT a product of a company or a corporation. It is the work of a few indie individuals who have invested their own personal livelihood in this project. And while I have always hoped that the "honor system" IAP approach could have worked, unfortunately 99% of the 50,000 who played the original/free game did not even bother to say "thank you" for what they received
I suppose it's a sign of the times
Oh yeah, you ARE shady. I hope to get your dev account revoked in the near future.

Dick Cheney: Obama Is "Very, Very Weak… The Weakest of My Lifetime" (Video)
In other news, Dick Cheney disclosed that water is wet and the sky is blue:
"I think the perception around the world is increasingly negative. But, I think the main focus in on our president.: He's very, very weak, maybe the weakest certainly in my lifetime.: I know from my own experience in a recent trip through the Middle East spending several days talking with folks I've dealt with all the way back to Desert Storm, they are all absolutely convinced that the American capacity to lead and influence events in that part of the world has been dramatically reduced by this president."
He's done exactly what he intended. : He's brought the United States down, not just one peg, but several pegs, on the world stage.
Here's the video:

Perhaps one of the most challenging elements in life is the capacity to improve at work. Improving indicates that you can perform your tasks and duties efficiently. This will be the best way for you to become more productive and effective employee. Additionally, adding mind mapping will also help you to acquire the right balance with your career and personal life.
It is very important that attaining a balance in your career and personal life plays a great role on how you can become successful in life. There are several advantages that one can obtain from mind mapping tool. Read the rest of this entry »
Assisting an employee to develop the needed skills in order to succeed is a part of a manager's job. As a manager, management training plan is very necessary because you will have an efficient way on how to handle your people. This can be possible by creating an effective management training plan.
The first management training plan is to evaluate the needs. This training can be intended for an employee who wants to improve his or her skills that can help to achieve an advance career. This training plan can be ideal for a new manager who wants human resource training.
Be sure to assess the requirement for the training plan before you can able to determine the usefulness of such a program.
Knowing the training budget is also equally significant. Just like in any project or idea, it is very crucial for any management to have money or cash. This is very helpful because without a budget for such project, it is impossible to succeed and improve. Know if the superiors will approve the budget for certain training.

Even though surveys are widely used to determine the importance of training evaluation, it is very vital to have an efficient management training evaluation. In order for training evaluation to become efficient, it is very crucial to satisfy several considerations like the scope of training needs as well as the objectives being achieved.
Additionally, the objectives that are met has made from determining the participants to acquire from the training. The participants should have an obligation to implement on what they had learned from management training evaluation when they returned to work.
After returning to work, one should keep in mind the significance to determine the intensity of success when it comes in employing action plans as well as the extent that they need to support by the managers. Read the rest of this entry »

" I give this camp and after school program my highest
recommendation. It is fantastic." TC
All 6-16 year olds are welcome! If your child has the desire to learn a favorite role from a favorite musical -- Annie, Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan and others -- and then perform it at an off Broadway theater, she and he is in! Guided by our experienced and caring teaching artists, our students build all the skills and confidence they need to perform in every and any professional setting.
We are proud that some of our CUKids have gone on to Broadway -- a student is now in the current Les Miz -- and other theatrical ventures. We are equally proud that ALL of our students bring the musical theater skills they learn with us into all aspects of their lives.

Well, I don't often stay at WDW resorts for "cash" as I'm a DVC member and use my points to stay at DVC villas, but I can tell you that an Annual Pass can lead you to some nice discounts.
WDW has AP rates periodically throughout the year. If you have an AP at the time of check-in, you can avail yourself of those rates which are quite often a big reduction over rack rate.
Also, the AAA (I think AA in the UK?) has reduced rates too. Those reductions won't be as much as the AP rates, but it's still something off.
There used to be Post Cards send out from WDW to people who had stayed, and those cards were offering special reduced rates.
You can also sometimes get a reduced rate if you book your next holiday during the time you are there for your current holiday.
I'm sure there are other ways, but those are the ones I know about. :yes:
Hope that helps! :smiley4:
this is a good one! AP rates though deeper, have become much rarer than they wereQuote:

The other discounts recently have been the so called "bounce-back" offers. These are special cards in your disney resort room which will offer you special rates if you call before you leave! they're very specific about that, you MUST call before your holiday ends but you can get great discounts from that 30 or 40% even!
There's also the free dining plan offered for the last few years around September time which can work out really great but no guarantee that's going to be made available every year.
That's the term I was looking for, bounce back. I know WDW used to have a bounce back ticket, but wasn't sure if that term also applied to the "book your next holiday before you leave" discounts that are sometimes available.
Does the AA UK card also allow one to park in the AAA diamond parking Keith, do you know?
I dont actually... the AA card now has the international AAA style symbols on them which does help but still it seems to depend who you talk to as to which benefits they'll allow you to get.Quote:

Ohhhhhhhh Weeennnnnnnnddddy! :D
sounds like a job for SUPERWEN! :shocked025:Quote:

There are limited rooms available and not always at all resorts.
We had a decent discount at Pop Century last December, but not nearly as good as in the past.
Discounts are WDW's method of attracting more guests to their resorts if the bookings are lower than they like, so they hold off as long as possible.
AAA/AA discounts also are decent--usually about 15% to 20% on the room. I've read that if you book through AAA (US--not sure if it applies to AA UK), you can book a package with the room discount. Since AAA/AA is the travel agent in this case, I tend to avoid it. Only good experiences with travel agents to date, but my life shifts quickly and I sometimes have to adjust accordingly with little notice. So I book directly with WDW and request an AAA rate (subject to availability), then apply an other discounts that may become available at that time.
Not sure how the AAA Diamond parking works for non-US members. If I remember correctly, US members have to book a package through AAA to qualify. Could be wrong, though!
We got a great rate last week with the General Public code for GF @ $309 a night, just a little more than our AAA rate at Poly.
Wow! That is a great rate for the GF! :yes:

Davis County Hypnosis CenterRead MoreCertified Master Clinical Hypnotherapist & Trainer John R. Phillips, M.ht. puts his 20 years of experience to work assisting people with improving their quality of life. His practice emphasizes that hypnosis is not magic, as often portrayed on TV. It's actually a type of intensely focused concentration in which the hypnotized person can access their subconscious and uncover the mental blocks preventing their personal transformation. Through hypnosis, he has helped people quit smoking, lose weight, and even overcome phobias. Believing no condition is out of bounds for hypnosis, he has helped with almost all individual challenges.1399 S 715 EastSalt Lake City, UT US
Jake Shannon, The HypnotistRead MoreDrawing from his experience helping professional athletes get in the zone, hypnotist and author Jake Shannon uses his craft to aid clients in achieving peak mental performance so they can effectively discard unwanted dependencies. During hypnotherapy sessions, Shannon speaks to subjects using encouraging language, giving them what he refers to as a "massage of the mind." Through one or multiple sessions, clients learn to relax, meditate, and use positive reinforcement to reverse behavior that can exacerbate smoking habits, weight problems, or excessive anxiety.2180 East 4500 SouthHolladay, UT US
Mind Over Matter HypnotherapyRead MoreHypnotherapist Paul W. Smith, CCHt, proves the efficacy of hypnotherapy each time he helps clients to quit smoking, lose weight, or remember where they left the remote. Using only his words, Smith guides patients into a deep state of concentrated relaxation—hypnosis—where the mind becomes hyper responsive to ideas or images. As Smith taps into the unconscious mind, patients retain full control; they can withhold information, respond yes or no, and recall everything they recount. With repeated sessions, patients can gain mastery over their state of awareness and thereby correct behaviors that undermine healthy living.8833 S Redwood Rd.West Jordan, UT US

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? When someone says "You have changed my life I can't thank you enough."2825 Cottonwood ParkwaySalt Lake City, UT US
The Brain TrainerRead MoreHolly Stokes, The Brain Trainer herself, makes it clear that she's no counselor—though that wasn't always the case. Holly previously worked as a counselor for troubled teens, helping them heal through wilderness programs, and she has a degree in psychology, among many other certifications. But brain training is more than just therapy, when clients rehash old problems; it's a means of fixing those problems. Through life coaching, neuro-linguistic programming—a "re-programming" of the brain—and hypnotherapy, Holly reshapes the way her clients approach problems and setbacks, from weight loss to public speaking, so that they can reach their goals.3980 South 700 EastMillcreek, UT US

Beginning with its epigraph, Alice Walker marks off The Color Purple's territory and purpose: it is a novel that intends to teach its readers, and it is also a novel about how that instruction might take place. The Color Purple's central character, Celie, serves as an example of the ideal learning process. Poor, oppressed, miserable, she learns to shed the yoke of patriarchal oppression in its many forms—in marriage, in love, in economics, in religion. As readers we are, in a sense, to learn from Celie how it is done by seeing it done.
The Color Purple is an epistolary novel: a series of letters from Celie to God, Nettie to Celie, Celie to Nettie, and finally Celie to God, the stars, trees, sky, peoples, Everything. Through its epistolary structure The Color Purple establishes two juxtaposed structures of instruction—direct address, or persuasion, and indirect: the use of the example or the document. The relation between these two structures inside the boundaries of the novel echoes and reenacts the inherently destabilized project of the novel as a whole, indeed of any overtly didactic fiction. The Color Purple must adopt a____________________

HAP (Hornady Action Pistol) bullets are engineered with the competitive shooter in mind. We began with the legendary accuracy of our XTP bullet design, then refined it into the perfect competition projectile. While the XTP uses folds and a cannelure to aid in controlled expansion and terminal performance, those factors are meaningless in competition. So, the folds and cannelure are gone from the HAP bullet, leaving only a sleek and balanced projectile that flies straight and flat.

Japanese Cultural Heritage Initiatives
The Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies, founded in 1968, is an international liaison and research center designed primarily to serve European and American scholars in all disciplines whose main area of study focuses on pre-Meiji era Japan.
The overall purpose of the Institute is to encourage research on neglected aspects of premodern Japanese civilization, especially during the medieval period (primarily, but not exclusively, the Kamakura and Muromachi periods 1185-1600), centuries which, until the 1970s, had received scarce attention by Japanese and Western scholars alike.

It's hard to maintain a consistent benchmark suite that is applicable across all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, and so on). We've begun to touch Windows and Mac in our drive reviews. However, for this piece, we stuck to Windows and used FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, representing a vast majority of desktop users. Moreover, exFAT is poised to become one of the few file systems (other than FAT32) that is supported on a variety of operating systems due to its inclusion in the specifications for SDXC cards and upcoming digital devices.
If you're using a Windows-based system, stick with NTFS. The default Windows file system consistently delivers the best performance on both SSD architectures we used for these tests: Samsung's 830 series and the SandForce SF-2281 controller, represented by Zalman's F1 drive. NTFS also has the advantage of being readable on various non-Windows operating systems, making it partially cross-OS-compatible.
While FAT32 has the advantage of wider platform compatibility, we don't recommend it for anything other than USB flash drives or the case of operating system environments that include Windows versions prior to Windows XP SP2 (and in that case, there are other, more serious issues to consider). Its lack of file access permissions, free space bitmap, file journaling, and basic performance make it pale in comparison to modern file systems such as NTFS and exFAT.
Between exFAT and NTFS, it's almost a draw. NTFS's robust file permissions control puts it ahead of exFAT for an internal storage device, but exFAT's tolerance of hot-plugging make it a definite choice for USB-connected storage. As we mentioned earlier, FAT32- and exFAT-formatted drives cannot be used for modern operating system disks. But for users who like to have fast access to data, or who prefer to install programs on a different drive than the OS, these arguments begin to make more sense. In general, though, we're going to side with the experts (and Windows) on this one: stick with NTFS if it's internal, and use exFAT only for external storage.

0jamesedgeuk2000 , 13 April 2012 15:56Could you not have benchmarked HPS too by doing the tests with a Mac setup to duel boot OSX and Windows 7? (thus letting the 7 install see the HPS file system)

0audiovoodoo , 16 April 2012 08:09No mention of cluster size impact on performance?

0Anonymous , 16 August 2012 00:02Question is does the FAT32 partition was aligned? Data on FAT32 starts straight after two FAT tables (their size depends on amount of clusters). So even if volume for FAT32 partition is aligned after creating such partition the FAT32 clusters may not be aligned to SSD physical sectors.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

This invention relates generally to screens for image projection. Particularly, the invention disclosed relates to screens comprised of multiple holographic elements for selectively reflecting different perspective images to different viewers in a training simulator.
Most prior art projection screens are diffuse and scatter incident light evenly in all directions. Imagery projected either from the front or rear of the screen may be seen from all locations in front of the screen. However, observers receive only a small fraction of the incident light energy, and the image brightness is reduced. Achieving a brighter image requires an increase in projector light output or the use of "high-gain" screens. Projector output is limited as a practical matter due to the high complexity and cost of increasing projector output significantly.
Various design approaches have been attempted for high-gain screens. Screens containing arrays of corner reflectors or refraction-matched glass beads provide increased gain from the screen. However, both techniques provide a retroreflecting screen. The majority of the light from the projector is reflected directly back into the projector.
Arrays of simple specular reflectors may be used to direct the light reflected from the projector in the desired direction. Screens consisting of numerous small lenticular elements may also be used. The individual lenticular elements control the light distribution pattern which, in theory, can provide any desired luminous distribution pattern. Fabrication and maintenance of either the specular reflecting array or the lenticular screen is extremely complex and expensive.
The use of one or more holographic optical elements (HOE) to construct a screen provides optimum screen gain within a specific viewing volume. A screen formed using HOEs in this fashion provides a brighter image to the observer within the smaller viewing volume. Outside this viewing volume, a very dim image, or no image at all, will be visible. Increase in the viewing volume will reduce the gain of the screen, defeating the purpose of the high-gain screen.
Where the screen is to be viewed by more than one observer, particularly if the two observers are displaced by any significant distance, the viewing volume must be increased such that both observers may see the image on the screen. Where a HOE element screen is used in an advanced training simulator, an additional difficulty is encountered, incorrect perspective.
The perspective of each observer will vary, depending upon the viewing position, when the focal length of the image presented on the screen is short. This is particularly evident with a close-range scene such as an aircraft landing or taking off or in helicopter nap-of-the-earth flight. The perspective of two viewers sitting spaced apart may differ significantly.
Moreover, simple expansion of the viewing volume on an HOE screen from a single projector will not provide a correct perspective to each of the observers in this arrangement. Current systems obtain correct perspective views by separating each observer's view into a distinct channel and viewing arrangement. Each observer sees the correct perspective view through his own display channel.
Using the example of an aircraft simulator, the disadvantage of this arrangement can be seen. The pilot's window provides the correct perspective for the pilot, and the co-pilot's window provides the correct perspective for the co-pilot. However, the co-pilot cannot look out the pilot's window and vice versa. Therefore, the degree of reality is significantly reduced.
The present invention alleviates the difficulty of separate perspective views while maintaining the maximum gain provided by a limited viewing volume.
The present invention provides multiple individual viewing volumes from a single screen. Multiple projector angle and viewing volume pairs are obtained from a single-screen element by superimposing multiple holograms on one substrate.
Each hologram is exposed using standard techniques as exemplified by R. J. Collier et al. in their book Optical Holography, Academic Press 1971. The reference and object beams used to expose each hologram, however, are positioned with different angular orientation with respect to the hologram being exposed. Each hologram then has a different projector angle and viewing volume. Superimposing two or more holograms thus exposed provides multiple viewing volumes, each with a separate projector position.
The HOE created in this fashion projects the image from multiple projectors to the appropriate viewing volumes, thus providing a correct perspective view for observers seated in each of the viewing volumes from the single screen. High gain is achieved in the view seen by each observer since the image from each projector is reprojected by the HOE to a very limited viewing volume.
A viewing screen is fabricated using a plurality of holograms. The first hologram is exposed using a first wavelength of coherent light generated by a laser or other appropriate source with an angular orientation to provide a first projection direction and an associated first viewing volume. The second and subsequent holograms are exposed using a different projection direction and associated viewing volume. The second and subsequent holograms can also be exposed using different wavelength coherent light sources; however, the same wavelength may be used when exposure geometries provide angularly distinct projection directions and viewing volumes. Superimposing the holograms created using this technique creates a viewing screen with multiple viewing volumes, each of which has high gain. In addition, the multiple holograms may be achieved on one single recording medium by exposing the single medium multiple times at multiple geometries.
A large screen of arbitrary shape may be created by combining multiple holographic optical elements each consisting of multiple superimposed holograms. Returning to the example of a training simulator, a semi-spherical screen may be created in this manner. Viewing volumes for two or more crew members seated at their appropriate duty stations provide a correct perspective for each crew member, presented from a separate projector for each crew member but viewed on a common screen, thereby increasing the realism of the training simulator.
Color projection from the screen may be achieved by superimposing additional holograms in each holographic optical element. The holograph element created for each projector direction and viewing volume is created by superimposing three separate holograms each exposed with a specific wavelength of coherent light in one of the primary color bands, red, green, or blue. Each holographic element with three color holograms provides a specific projection, direction and viewing volume. Superimposing the holographic elements then provides multiple color viewing volumes from separate projectors.
FIG. 1 provides a schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention using two superimposed holographic optical elements to provide two viewing volumes from two projectors;
FIG. 2a provides a schematic representation of a prior art retroreflective high gain screen;
FIG. 2b provides a schematic representation of a prior art high gain screen with an expanded viewing volume from a single hologram; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the optical bench setup for exposing the holograms used in the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 provides a depiction of the invention as used for a training simulator where two crew members require two separate perspective views. A projection screen is created by one or more holographic optical elements 10. A first holographic element 12 which is responsive to a first wavelength of light provides a high gain image to a first viewing volume V1. A second holographic element 14 which is responsive to a second wavelength of light provides images to a second viewing volume V2. A first projector P1 located in a projection direction with respect to the holographic element 10 represented by the first projection angle αl projects an image to the first holographic element 12. The image from projector P1 is reflected from holographic element 12 to the first viewing volume V1 which is located relative to the holographic optical element 10 by the first viewing angle β1. Light rays from the first projector A and B are transmitted to the viewing volume as high gain light represented by rays a, a', b, and b'. A second projector P2 located at a second projection angle α2 with respect to the holographic optical element 10 provides an image to a second holographic element 14. This second image is reflected to the viewing volume V2 which is located at a second viewing angle β2 with respect to the holographic optical element 10. Light rays of the second image C and D emanating from the second projector P2 are reflected as high gain light rays c, c', d, and d' to viewing volume V2 from the second holographic element 14.
The scenes projected from projectors P1 and P2 may be entirely different. However, in the present embodiment, the images are a different perspective of the same scene provided to volumes V1 and V2 for added realism. It should be noted that an alternate embodiment of the invention where projection angles α1 and α2 are identical would allow a single projector to provide high gain light images to two viewing volumes from holographic elements 12 and 14. Similarly, yet another embodiment of the invention uses two projectors at projection angles α1 and α2 to superimpose two high-gain light images onto a single viewing volume where viewing angles β1 and β2 are identical. In addition, superimposing additional holographic elements would allow the reflection of images from additional projectors to additional viewing volumes. The distinct advantage of the present invention over the prior art can be discerned by examining FIGS. 2a and 2b. FIG. 2a is a representation of a retroreflective high gain screen. The high gain screen 16 specularly reflects images from the projector 18 in a retroreflective manner. The viewing volume VR for highest gain is located directly on the projection axis 20 of the projector 18. As previously described, a viewer located outside the viewing volume VR will see a significantly reduced light intensity.
An example of the prior art using holography techniques is shown in FIG. 2b. A high gain screen made up of one or more holograms 22 reflects an image from the projector 24. While the use of holographic techniques allows the viewing volume to be displaced angularly from the axis of the projection 26, the viewing volume angle φ must be made larger if multiple viewers must see the scene. In order to accommodate a pilot 28 and co-pilot 30 in a training simulator, the viewing volume must incorporate the viewing positions of both the pilot and co-pilot. This requires an increase in the viewing volume angle with a commensurate reduction in gain provided by the screen.
Returning to FIG. 1, the present invention unlike the prior art provides distinct viewing volumes for multiple viewers. The viewing volume angles φ1 and φ2 may remain narrow to provide maximum gain of the light reflected to the viewing volumes.
Projection of color images using the current invention may be accomplished by combining individual primary color holograms in each holographic element. The first holographic element 12 is fabricated by superimposing a first hologram 12R, a second hologram 12B and a third hologram 12G. Hologram 12R is responsive to a specific frequency R1 of coherent red light. Hologram 12B is responsive to a specific wavelength of blue light B1 and hologram 12G is responsive to a specific wavelength of coherent green light G1. Projector P1 provides mixed color images using the primary color wavelengths R1, B1 and G1. Similarly, the second holographic element 14 is made up of a fourth hologram 14R, fifth hologram 14B and sixth hologram 14G. Fourth hologram 14R is responsive to a second wavelength of coherent red light R2, the fifth hologram 14B is responsive to a second wavelength of blue coherent light B2. The sixth hologram 14G is responsive to a second wavelength of green coherent light G2. Projector P2 provides color images to viewing volume V2 by projecting color images created by combinations of primary color wavelengths R2, B2 and G2.
In the preferred embodiment, each of the individual holograms is responsive to only a specific wavelength of coherent light. The individual primary color channels for the two holographic elements may be made by varying the response wavelength by ±20 nanometers or more. For example R1=R2 ±20nm. First hologram 12R as a reflection hologram will reflect light of wavelength R1 but will not reflect light of wavelength R2. Similar relationships exist for the primary blue and primary green color wavelengths for each of the holographic elements. This relationship can be repeated for additional holographic elements to provide additional viewing volumes. For angularly distinct viewing volumes and projection angles Rl may equal R2, B1 may equal B2 and G1 may equal G2. However, higher quality images are obtained by varying the wavelengths.
The exposure of each hologram used in the invention is accomplished with an optical bench setup as shown in FIG. 3. A coherent light source such as a laser 32 provides a coherent light beam 34. A beam splitter 36 consisting of a half silvered mirror or other appropriate partial transmission partial reflectance device splits the beam into a reference beam 38 and an object beam 40. The reference beam 38 is reflected from a mirror 42 through a first focusing lens 44 and through a collimating lens 46 to a diffuse transmission plate 48. The reference beam then impinges the hologram 50. The reference beam angle between the axis of the reference beam optical train and the hologram 50 corresponds to the viewing volume angle. The object beam 40 is reflected from a second mirror 52 through a second focusing lens 54 and a positive lens 56. The converging object beam created by lens 56 is focused through the holographic recording medium 50 to a point P.
Point P is the virtual location for a projector which will reflect an image from the hologram created by the exposed holographic recording medium 50 to a viewing volume having the dimensions of the diffuse transmission plate 48 located at a viewing angle α with respect to the hologram. The distance of the virtual projection point P from the hologram is determined by the focal length of the positive lens 56. The distance of the viewing volume from the hologram along viewing angle is determined by the physical distance of the diffuse transmission plate 48 from the holographic recording medium 50 during exposure.
A projection angle β corresponds to the angular relationship of the axis of the object beam optical train passing through point P with respect to the holographic recording medium 50. A monochromatic holographic optical element is fabricated using this technique by exposing a first holographic recording medium with the viewing angle β equal to β1 of FIG. 1 and the projection angle α equal to α1 of FIG. 1. A second holographic recording medium is exposed with the viewing angle β equal to β2 of FIG. 1 and the projection angle α equal to α2 of FIG. 1. The two exposed holograms are then superimposed to form the holographic optical element 10 of FIG. 1.
It should be noted that multiple holograms exposed on a single recording medium using the same wavelength of coherent light at different recording geometries can be used in fabrication of the holographic optical element. However, for higher quality images, the presently preferred embodiment uses physical stacking of holograms.
The datum for measurement of the projection and viewing angles α and β for various projector and viewing volume combinations is arbitrary with respect to the holographic optical element. The angular relationship between each projector and viewing volume is fixed with relation to the holographic optical elements. For example, in FIG. 1, the paired projector P1 and volume V1 have a fixed angular relationship equal to α1 plus β1, establishing a datum for measurement of α1 and ⊕1 separately allows comparison of viewing angles for various viewing volumes independent of the various projection angles. The holographic optical elements shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 are of arbitrary shape. For a planar holographic optical element, the natural selection for a datum for measurement of the projection and viewing angles is perpendicular to the holographic optical element.
A holographic optical element for reflecting color images is fabricated using the optical setup of FIG. 3. Each primary color hologram is exposed using the appropriate wavelength laser as the coherent light source. The three primary color holograms of each holographic element are exposed without varying projection angle α and viewing angle β. Superimposing the three individual primary color holograms provides a holographic element for reflecting color images from a projector to a specific viewing volume.
The technique for exposing the holographic recording medium as described above provides a reflective hologram for use as a reflective projection screen. The techniques well known in the art for altering the optical bench represented in FIG. 3 to expose a transmission hologram may be used to create a transmission projection screen.
Holographic materials which may be used for the recording medium include dichromated gelatin (DCG) and silver halide (AgX). Both DCG and AgX screens have been demonstrated for use as multiple holographic optical elements. DCG holographic optical elements have been created using optical bench set-ups equivalent to those in FIG. 3. DCG-coated plates were exposed so that, when laminated together after processing, the two gelatin surfaces would be in contact and achieve the desired play-back geometry.
Holographic optical elements made from AgX recording media have not demonstrated efficiency and gains as high as optical elements fabricated using DCG holographic recording media.
Combination of primary color holograms into holographic elements and combination of holographic elements into a holographic optical element to provide multiple viewing volumes for a through transmission projection screen with projectors located at corresponding projection angles behind the screen is a second embodiment of this invention.
In addition, large projection screens may be created by combining multiple holographic optical elements in an array. Production of such multi-element array screens is simplified due to the fact that all horizontally adjacent elements may be exposed with the same projection angle and viewing volume angle. As an example, a semi-spherical screen is fabricated from multiple holographic optical elements. The individual holograms of each element located at a common latitude on the sphere may be exposed using an identical optical bench setup.
Having now described the invention in accordance with the requirements of the patent statutes, those skilled in the art of holography will have no difficulty making changes and modifications in the embodiment of the individual elements of the invention in order to meet specific requirements or conditions. Such modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Senior Airman Zac Sidders, 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron loadmaster, assists aerial porters from the 455th Expeditionary Aerial Port Squadron pushing cargo off a C-130 Hercules at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, Sept. 28, 2013. This mission marked a retrograde milestone as the 774th EAS transported the last cargo from Forward Operating Base Sharana, Paktika province, Afghanistan, before the base is transferred to the Afghan Ministry of Defense. Sidders, a Peoria, Ill., native, is deployed from the Wyoming Air National Guard. (USAF Photo/Master Sgt. Ben Bloker)
