"We're a group of friends, we're in a band too and through our Bobinoculars, we can see you!
"'Cos we need your help, when things go wrong. When we've found some answers, we'll sing you a song!"
The Bobinogs are an animated trio of bobble-hatted toys that have magical, musical adventures. Nib (the singer), Bobin the keyboard player and Ogi, the drummer, live in a bobble hat that is owned by schoolboy Owen.
The three musical friends spring to life when Owen's not around and using their wise binoculars, the 'Bobinoculars', explore how things work in the real world. Each 15 minute episode ends with a song and a dance to reflect on what the Bobinogs have learnt.
Other characters that take part in the Bobinogs' adventures include Olly and Molly Mindybob, Mamgu and Fireman Prout.
Behind the scenes
Aimed at pre-school children aged three to five years old, the programme introduces social skills as the characters look at everyday social situations that Owen encounters such as making friends and conquering nerves.
The Bobinogs first appeared on television screens during 2003. This first English-language programme for pre-schoolers was produced for BBC Wales by Siriol, the makers of Welsh favourites SuperTed and Fireman Sam.
The programmes strongly focus on developing children's personal, social and emotional development. Each programme features a situation where the friends learn that it's 'good to share', or 'important to listen to each other'.
Through the use of the 'Bobinoculars', a cartoon binocular character who offers clues about the workings of the adult world, the programme stimulates children's knowledge and understanding of the world.
The Bobinogs website on BBC Wales has many interactive features and activities, as well as a sing-a-long jukebox

Would You Wear A Bikini That You Could DIY?
As if prepping for the summer months wasn't tedious enough (queue the spray tans, countless hours at the nail salon, and the never-ending waxes down under), now we have the opportunity to build our own bikinis, too! Described as the bathing suit "for women with their own unique vision of fashion," Itsykini is the brainchild of Parisian designer Annie-Claude Toledano.
The bandeau or triangle top comes in three basic hues — black, silver, and gold — and allows the swimmer to choose from eleven poppy colors of ties and strings to assemble the bikini according to her mood. The basic suits run between $145-$165, depending on the finish, and it's about $15 for every additional color. The idea is that wearers can try candy pink if they're feeling flirty, or get wild with leopard print if they want. The combinations are virtually endless, however the result looks like the wearer is a little, erm, bow heavy (not to mention, if you lose a strap or tie, that colorway is done for).
Since we're all about showcasing originality here at R29, we're curious to know: Would you actually wear a bikini you had to string together yourself?

WESTMINSTER – Controversy story's data "ay kalam" surrounding the upcoming Tet Parade continues to simmer.
Just two days after an organizing committee voted to allow a gay and lesbian group to march in the annual procession celebrating the Lunar New Year, leaders of a local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender coalition said they now fear parade rules will ban them from carrying rainbow flags.
"Our fight for full inclusion and equality is not over," said Hieu Nguyen, co-founder of Viet Rainbow of Orange County. "As it stands, we are not allowed to carry the rainbow flags and our message of love, respect, family, unity, and community."

My Life and Work - 1922by Henry Ford, Samuel Crowther
Pub. Date: 07/28/2006
Publisher: Standard Publications, Incorporated
Ideas are of themselves extraordinarily valuable, but an idea is just an idea. Almost any one can think up an idea. The thing that counts is developing it into a practical product.- from the Introduction The lessons of Henry Ford, one of America's greatest business innovators, are as fresh and vital today as they were in 1922, when this extraordinary book was first published. Though the title suggests the autobiographical, this is in fact a bible of business philosophy from the man many considered "insane" for the very innovations we hail as visionary today: the assembly line, reduced working hours, a minimum wage, the five-day work week. Ford explains: . how his experiences as an employee influenced his philosophies as an employer . why saving money isn't always a good thing . the absolute worst time to approach a bank for a loan . why lowering prices below production costs can be a smart move . and much more. It's easy to see that much of Ford's wisdom has been forgotten today-and that individual entrepreneurs and global corporations alike would do well to take another look. American entrepreneur, inventor, and philanthropist HENRY FORD (1863-1947) was born in Michigan and trained as a machinist and engineer before founding, in 1903, the Ford Motor Company.

NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller
Is it me? Or is it hot in here?
Rejoice! More shiny goodies have graced my doorstep this week. This one takes the form of the NZXT Sentry LX Dual bay Fan controller LCD unit; designed with the sole purpose of making my computer infinitely more awesome than 14 yr old neighbours, despite the fact he'll still kick your ass at Quake/Unreal/Team Fortress.
The low down on this puppy is 5x3pin fan connectors, 5xthermistors (that's temperature sensors) and 2x5.12" bays of LCD goodness.
Here's the official blurb from NZXT themselves:
- Large dual 5.25" LCD screen.
- NZXT designed intuitive control, set and change fan speeds and settings on the fly.
- Auto/Manual modes, let the LCD take control or set fan speeds to your liking.
- Temperature alarm.
- Aluminium finish.
- NZXT Designed graphical interface, easy to read and understand.
- Saved Settings, calendar and fan settings are stored even during system off so settings don't need to be redone.
As you can see, the unit is an all-in-one dedicated fan and temperature control point. There are different camps regarding the pros and cons of having hardware handle this versus software.
The software people insist that it's better to get a GUI interface to handle the fan speeds and temperatures, while relying on the motherboards own fan headers and thermistors to bring in the data. This allows for much more customisability than in hardware mode and you could find software that would activate profiles depending on what your system is doing at the time (ie. having certain fans step up their speed when games load).
The hardware camps are all about aesthetics, usability and reliability. People still find hardware, with buttons, dials and simple displays, much more intuitive to use than software. There is also less worry about reliability; the hardware will work without question every time the computer powers on, from the moment you press the button. With an operating system, the potential for incompatibility and failure is greater than a dedicated piece of hardware.

Scientists discover early relative of man
Washington: Scientists have discovered a previously unknown human relative, with whom ancient man must have had sex with.
According to Nature.com, a new analysis of the DNA footprint of Neanderthals and Denisovans has revealed that there was an intense cross-breeding between different species tens of thousands of years ago, Fox News reported.
The study also unveiled the existence of an as-yet-unknown human ancestor that joined the party and probably cross-bred too.
Mark Thomas, evolutionary geneticist at University College London, has said that they think they are looking at `Lord of the Rings` type world, where there were many hominid populations.
Evolutionary geneticist David Reich and a team of researchers have presented a more complete genetic analysis of those ancient hominids in addition to bits of an extinct population that resided in Asia 30,000 years ago.
The study was presented at Royal Society in London.

Taking the plunge: British daredevil sets new world record by performing 151 bungee jumps in ONE DAY amid the heat of Dubai
- Dubai-based Briton takes on the world record for the highest number of bungee jumps performed in 24-hour period
- Previous record of 105 bungee jumps set by adventurer on South Africa's famous Garden Route three years ago
- Colin Phillips suffered one minor injury during his day-long gravity challenge, but otherwise emerged unscathed
For many of us, it is the sort of challenge that you might attempt once in your life – a brief throwing of caution to the winds; a bucket-list box ticked, perhaps never to be repeated.
But for one undoubtedly brave – and perhaps reckless – British adventurer, bungee jumping comes so easily that he decided to do it 151 times.
In a single day.
A man with a crazy plan: Colin Phillips has time to smile for the camera as he forges out on his world record bid
And then he was gone: Phillips heads towards terra firma as he ticks off another leap from above
Colin Phillips performed his repeated game of chicken with gravity in Dubai, as part of an attempt to break the world record for the number of jumps in a 24-hour period.
And he achieved his aim, smashing the previous high-water mark of 105, which was set by South African daredevil Kevin Huntly - at the Bloukrans Bungy Bridge, on South Africa's famous Garden Route - in May 2011.
Mr Phillips is based in Dubai, and pulled off his feat by leaping from a 100-metre crane at a bungee facility, Gravity Zone.
This is attached to the Dubai Autodrome, a race-track where adrenaline junkies can drive fast cars amid the dust and sand of the desert emirate.
Prepare for lift-off: Phillips was attempting to break the previous high mark for the number of bungee jumps in one day, 105, set in South Africa three years ago
All downhill from here: Phillips ticked off a remarkable 151 bungee jumps over three different sessions during his 24-hour challenge
The 33-year-old split his earthbound tumbles into three sessions.
He began on the evening of (Thursday) 20 March, jumping from 7pm until 11pm.
Then, after resting for seven hours, he recommenced at 6am on the Friday morning, continuing until 10.30am.
By 10.20am, he had beaten the record, pushing it up by one to 106 – but was not content to leave it at this figure. A further session of rest over lunchtime saw him remount the jumping platform for a final burst of rapid descents, between 3pm and the cut-off point at 7pm.
Record broken, let's do some more: Phillips set a new high mark with plenty of time to spare - before adding 46 to the prior top total
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the process left Mr Phillips feeling exhausted.
'I feel a bit beaten up, to be honest,' he told The National.
'Every jump has been different. Sometimes it's a good one, sometimes it's not so good.'
Due to the stresses placed on his body by so many leaps in quick succession, Mr Phillips was forced regularly to change the position of his safety harness, transferring it between his ankles and his chest.
The ankles tend to be the standard point of attachment in bungee-jump procedure, but staff on hand deemed it necessary to make the switch.
All smiles, no injuries: Apart from a dislocated finger and a sore body, Phillips achieved his target without any medical concerns
'It's mostly to stop my ankles from being completely ripped to shreds,' Mr Phillips explained.
'Neither [of the harness positions] are easier, you're still getting the same force and sustained pressures on the body.'
He did suffer one small injury – dislocating his finger after catching it in his harness, requiring the assistance of a sports therapist, who quickly clicked the errant digit back into place.
But he was not affected by migraines or dizziness – two unpleasant consequences that could have resulted from so many head-long rushes towards terra firma.
Circles in the sand: Phillips attempted his record at the Dubai Autodrome, a popular race track in the desert emirate
Mr Phillips achieved his target with a considerable amount of time to spare.
In total, he jumped for less than 12 hours, settling for a final total of 151.
He had hoped to break the 200-jump barrier, but found that tiredness hindered his efforts.
That figure was verified by an official from Guinness World Records – which now has an office in Dubai, due to the number of world-record bids that are now attempted in a place where biggest, fastest, highest and most have become cherished mantras.
Big boys' toy: Dubai is no stranger to great heights and world records, thanks to the towering presence of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, the tallest building on the planet
'The office was opened here because demand was so high for record-breaking events,' said Samer Khallouf, the Guinness adjudicator who monitored the attempt.
The Burj Khalifa, which opened in Dubai in 2010, is, of course, the tallest building in the world, reaching into the heavens at a height of 830 metres (2722ft).

ABB wins $18 million order for subsea pipeline construction vessels.
Energy efficient electric propulsion, reliable power distribution systems for two deepwater pipeline installation vessels to be built by Daewoo in South Korea
Zurich, Switzerland, May 16, 2012 -- ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, recently won an order worth $18 million from Daewoo to supply energy efficient propulsion and electrical power systems for two new deep sea pipeline installation vessels that will build oil transport infrastructure off the coast of Brazil. The order was booked in the first quarter.
South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) will build the vessels. The end customer, a joint venture between French oil service company Technip and Brazilian company Odebrecht Oil & Gas, will use the vessels to connect subsea wells with floating installations in depths of up to 2500 meters along the coast of Brazil for oil company Petrobras.
Wärtsila Ship Design developed the new VS 4146 PLV design with a solid tension capacity of 550 metric tons, and designed for optimal fuel consumption and flexible pipe laying operations. ABB's delivery will help the vessels use less fuel while operating at the highest levels of efficiency.
ABB will supply drives, motors and generators, medium voltage switchgear, transformers and softstarters that will provide energy efficient propulsion and a reliable power distribution system on board. In addition, ABB will take full project responsibility and do complete engineering for its own scope of supply. The diesel electric propulsion system will significantly reduce fuel consumption compared to traditional diesel mechanical systems. The heart of the propulsion system is ABB's propulsion drives, which are designed for optimized control of the propulsion motors, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.
"ABB's oil and gas industry expertise, proven marine solutions and subsea experience address the needs of the growing subsea installation service market," said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB's Process Automation division. "Our environmentally friendly, energy efficient solutions and solid power infrastructure systems help both oil companies and their suppliers ensure the reliable and efficient operation of their vessels from their very first day in service."
The two identical vessels will be delivered in 2014.

Rams 24, Bengals 21
CINCINNATI -- The last thing that the St. Louis Rams wanted to see was Kyle Boller's helmet tumbling across the field.
Boller played better Thursday night in his second game filling in for Marc Bulger, completing a flurry of short passes during a 24-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also had one moment of bravado that made the Rams shudder.
He refused to duck.
Boller got his helmet knocked off on a hit by linebacker Keith Rivers at the end of an 8-yard scramble, waiting too long to start his slide. Unfazed, Boller got to his feet, found his helmet and completed his next two passes, including a 3-yard shovel pass to running back Samkon Gado for a touchdown.
"I could have slid a little earlier," said Boller, who was 14 of 20 for 96 yards. "It is what it is. My chin strap hit just above my eyes. It was a good scramble, but maybe if I can get down a little sooner, the coaches would like that."
No kidding.
"I was just trying to get to the ball," said Rivers, who had his jaw broken on a hit from Pittsburgh's Hines Ward last season. "It wasn't anything intentional."
The Rams lost Bulger to a broken pinkie finger on his passing hand before the last game and couldn't afford another quarterback setback. Bulger is hoping to be ready for the season opener Sept. 13 at Seattle. Boller struggled as his replacement last week in a 20-13 loss to the Falcons, but seemed much more comfortable against the Bengals.
"He moved the team," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "He drove us down there after the bad start. When you score on a drive, the quarterback deserves the credit."
Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks, turning the game into a preview of how it might be if their injuries linger. The Bengals were reminded that they really need Carson Palmer back for their opener against Denver.
J.T. O'Sullivan was sacked three times, lost a fumble and had two passes batted away at the line. His best moment was an improvised underhand pass to running back Brian Leonard that went for 25 yards and set up a touchdown. O'Sullivan was 7 of 13 for 94 yards while playing into the third quarter.
With Palmer sidelined the last two games by a sprained left ankle, the offense has moved the ball in spurts but failed to get many points because of penalties and mistakes. O'Sullivan's fumble at the Cincinnati 20-yard line set up the Rams' second touchdown.
"We've just got to find a way to eliminate it," O'Sullivan said. "It puts you in such a disadvantage any time you turn the ball over. That's one of the things that has to change immediately."
Running back Bernard Scott, a sixth-round draft pick from Abilene Christian, had a fumble that safety James Butler returned 73 yards for a touchdown. Butler also intercepted one of Jordan Palmer's passes in the third quarter and returned it 68 yards before the third-string quarterback tackled him.
The Bengals have lost five fumbles and thrown three interceptions in three preseason games.
"When you turn the football over, you have a difficult time winning, whether you're playing in the regular season, the preseason, junior high, sixth grade, whatever it is," coach Marvin Lewis said.
Quan Cosby, an undrafted receiver from Texas, returned the Rams' first punt 49 yards for a touchdown, breaking through the front line of defenders into the clear. He ran past punter Donnie Jones to get to the end zone.
Jones also had a punt returned 44 yards by Tom Nelson in the third quarter.
Game notes
Rams K Josh Brown was wide left on a 50-yard field goal try at the end of the first half and wide again on a 51-yard attempt with 3:10 left in the game. ... Bengals S Chinedum Ndukwe suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter. ... Chris Henry caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Palmer in the fourth quarter, beating rookie CB Bradley Fletcher down the left sideline. Henry has all three of the Bengals' touchdown catches in the preseason.

1. Field of Invention
The U.S. government has a paid-up license in this invention and the right in limited circumstances to require the patent owner to license others on reasonable terms as provided for by the terms of contract No. DE-AC06-87RL10930 awarded by the United States Department of Energy.
This invention relates to the field of passively operated air flow control devices. More particularly to valves which maintain a constant air flow rate regardless of changes in the pressure at the inlet or outlet.
2. Description of Prior Art
Devices which maintain a constant air flow regardless of changes in the inlet or outlet pressures are referred to as constant air flow controllers or valves. Constant air flow control devices have a variety of uses in ventilation control systems. Currently there are several situations where maintaining a constant air flow despite varying pressures would be useful.
Currently, exhaust ventilation must be provided for any space in any facility in which gases, odors, noxious vapors, excessive heat or airborne particulates which are undesirable or pose a health hazard to the workers or the public are produced. Examples of such spaces may include: food, chemical or waste storage buildings; Waste processing buildings; vats, tanks, or rooms; enclosures for heat-producing equipment such as furnace, forges; laboratories; hospitals; classrooms and auditoriums; indoor swimming pools; wood and metalworking shops; welding booths; auto and equipment repair shops; kitchens; laundries; bathrooms and locker rooms.
In such spaces it is usually necessary to maintain a slight negative pressure relative to the surrounding spaces to remove the unwanted odor or hazardous substance. The pressure and air change rate in a given volume can be satisfied through the precise regulation of the air flow rate into or out of the ventilated space.
Conventional methods of controlling flow rates in exhaust ventilation systems involve the use of dampers in conjunction with a fan. These dampers are controlled either manually or automatically. However there are drawbacks to using dampers to control the ventilation in a given space. First, the task of controlling ventilation system flow rates with manual or weighted dampers can be difficult and continual. This is because the flow rates are easily affected by changes in system pressure, barometric pressure, wind velocities or system cleanliness (i.e., dirty filters). The second drawback is that air or motor operated valves or dampers which automatically control air flow rates are effective, but can be expensive to install.
Besides the use of flow valves in the exhausting of unwanted gases, a constant flow valve offers tremendous advantages in a forced-air heating and air conditioning system. Such heating and air conditioning systems are common in homes and office complexes.
In current practice, when forced-air heating and air conditioning systems are designed for offices and homes, air flow rates are calculated and the correct sizes heating and air conditioning unit are installed. When installation is completed, individual vents are adjusted from one room of office to another to equalize temperature.
But if, for example, the occupant of one office is too warm and closes a vent to cool the room, more warm air flows into other offices. This makes these offices too warm. Soon, adjustments are being made from one office to another. This results in the entire system being thrown out of balance and the occupants are uncomfortable. Sometimes a comfortable balance can be reached, but as soon as one more adjustment is made, or when the air conditioning is turned on, the whole cycle of adjustment repeats itself.
An economical air flow valve which could be designed to be placed in an individual room and that could be adjusted to maintain a desirable air flow without interfering with the air flow in other rooms would be an enormous improvement in the environment of many facilities.
The current art has attempted to provide several means to maintain a constant air flow rate, however, there are drawbacks.
One of the more advanced attempts to maintain a constant air flow involves the use of a sealed piston to exert a force necessary to regulate a flow area. Such a design is illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,221 (Palmer). However, there are several drawbacks to the Palmer design. In order for Palmer to maintain a constant mass flow at the outlet port, a seal must be provided between the piston and its mounting structure to prevent internal venting. The sealing methods described include the use of a diaphragm, a magnetic sealing fluid, or a fine machined tolerance between the piston and piston mounting structure. This seal makes the design unnecessarily complex and inhibits accuracy and reliability (due to the risk of failing or worn sealing mechanisms). The fine machined tolerance, besides being expensive can result in increased sensitivity to dirt or deposits. The dirt or deposits can cause great inaccuracies by preventing the piston from moving freely. However, relaxing this tolerance could allow too much leakage within the device and result in failure to maintain a constant mass flow through the device. Additionally, the Palmer device will not operate when the pressure at the outlet port is less than 2" wg. Finally, the maximum flow capacity of the Palmer device is 200 scfm.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve which can maintain a constant flow rate of air despite changes in pressure at the inlet or outlet.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve which may be passively operated (without the use of an external power source).
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a more reliable flow control valve which does not require seals, diaphragms, or close tolerances.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve capable of operating at very low differential pressure and very high flow capacity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a simpler design for easier fabrication of a flow control valve.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve which may be installed in existing ventilation systems.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve that does not require a complex piston or mechanical linkages to maintain a constant flow.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a flow control valve which may allow the air flow to be easily altered.
The present invention is an apparatus and method which overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art. The device is a flow control valve which is capable of maintaining a constant flow of air despite changes in pressure at the inlet or outlet. The valve consists of a shell assembly with an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber separated by a separation plate. There is an orifice connecting the two chambers. Inlet air enters through an inlet opening and passes through the orifice and into the outlet chamber. The air exits the outlet chamber by an outlet opening.
Responding to variations in the pressure is a port controller assembly located primarily within the inlet chamber. The port controller assembly has a differential pressure plate which has a port cap affixed. The port cap is capable of sliding in and out of the orifice, depending on pressure variations. A flow adjustment means sets the amount of air flow desired. Any variations from the set air flow passing through the inlet chamber quickly moves the port controller up or down to return flow to its setting.
The flow adjustment means in the primary embodiment consists of an air inlet collar which is adjusted by a mechanical linkage. The collar is placed in front of the inlet opening. In the alternative, the collar can also be electrically or pneumatically adjusted by a remote control control system.
The flow adjustment means in the secondary embodiments consist of another orifice located in the differential pressure plate. There are several adjustment means for this orifice. Specifically, there are orifice plates which can be affixed onto the differential pressure plate or conventional meter port covers.
In both embodiments, the design can be scaled larger or smaller to manipulate the device's operating capabilities. Further, the port controller can be made heavier or lighter with weights or by material selection also manipulating the device's operating range of flow and differential pressure.

Referring to the figures, it is possible to view the various major elements constituting the present invention 10. The major elements and general operation will be briefly reviewed. A more in-depth discussion will follow later in the disclosure. The flow control valve consists of a shell assembly 20. The shell assemble has an inlet chamber 30 and an outlet chamber 31 separated by the separation plate 22. The inlet and outlet chambers are connected to each other by the shell cap orifice 27. Air enters 3a the shell assembly and the inlet chamber by the air inlet opening 23. The air passes through the port controller assembly 40 and the shell cap orifice 27 to the outlet chamber 31 ultimately exiting the shell assembly and outlet chamber 31 by the outlet opening 21. A constant flow of air, despite pressure changes, is maintained by the port controller assembly 40 which is primarily located within the inlet chamber 30. Depending on the pressure relative to the inlet and outlet chambers, the port controller 40 adjusts to maintain a constant flow rate.
Now that the general operation and major elements have been reviewed, it is possible to discuss the invention in greater detail.
The shell assembly 20 consists of an interior 28 and an exterior 29. Located within the interior 28 is an inlet chamber 30 and outlet chamber 31. These two chambers are separated by the separation plate 22. Connecting the two chambers is the shell cap orifice 27. Air from the exterior enters the inlet chamber 30 through the air inlet opening 23 and ultimately passes through the port controller assembly 40 and shell cap orifice 27 into the outlet chamber 31. The air departs the interior of the shell assembly and the outlet chamber by the outlet opening 21. Positioned in the inlet chamber 30 is the plate rest 24. Located in the outlet chamber and attached to the separation plate is the shell cap 25. The shell cap is supported by several supports 26. The supports are spaced along the perimeter of the shell cap orifice 27. The shell cap is slightly larger than the shell cap orifice. In the embodiments, the shape is circular and approximately 61/2 inches in diameter. However, the shape and size can vary, depending on the flow and pressure desired to be maintained.
The port controller assembly 40 is primarily situated within the inlet chamber 30. It consists of a differential pressure plate 41. A port cap 42 is attached to the top of the differential pressure plate 41 by several port cap supports 43. The base of the differential pressure plate is indicated by item 46. The roughly rectangular area defined between the differential pressure plate, the port cap supports and the port cap is the port cap orifice 44. The gap between the differential pressure plate and interior of the shell assembly and the gap between the shell cap orifice and the port cap are indicated by items 47a and 47b, respectively. In the secondary embodiments, the air flow adjustment means 52A, 52B, or 53 is contained on the differential pressure plate. (These adjustment means will be discussed below.) In the primary embodiment, air flow adjustment means 54 is located on the exterior 29 of the shell assembly. The determination of the type of flow adjustment means 52A, 52B, 53 and 54 depends on the type of flow control desired. The types of flow control means will be discussed in the embodiments below. When assembled, the port cap 42 of the port controller assembly 40 will be inserted into the shell cap orifice 27. During operation (see FIG. 2), the port cap 42 and differential pressure plate (41) (as connected by the port cap supports 43 will rise or fall depending on changes in the inlet pressure relative to the outlet pressure. The inlet air 3a passes through the orifice 50 in the orifice plate 53 affixed by attaching to the differential pressure plate 41 at 50A. The inlet air also passes around the clearance 47A between the differential pressure plate and the interior 28 of the shell assembly 20. The air then passes through the clearance 47B between the port cap 42 and the separation plate 22. Some air also passes through the horizontal port cap orifice 48. Unlike prior air flow valves, the clearances 47A and 47B require no seals and the air flow moves around the entire perimeter of the differential pressure plate and the port cap. This results in the port controller assembly being "self-centered", negating the need for a lubricant or centering mechanism. The main air path, however, is through orifice 50. The air enters the outlet chamber 31 by the clearances 47(b) between the port cap 42 and the separation plate 22. Air also enters through the horizontal port cap orifice 48. From the outlet chamber 31 the air exits 3b, the shell assembly by the outlet opening 21. If the air pressure is insufficient to lift the differential pressure plate, the plate will rest on the plate rest 24. The minimum device differential pressure required to lift the port controller assembly is a function of its weight and the area of the differential pressure plate, both easily manipulated (i.e., by selecting lightweight materials or using thinner gauge material, and/or increasing the differential pressure plate area). Thus, the flow control valve can be designed to operate at very low system static pressures (i.e., well below the 1/3" wg (shown in 16 gauge aluminum prototype tests). Essentially, the entire invention can be constructed using 16-gauge sheet aluminum or nearly any other lightweight material and conventional attachment devices.
The primary embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. The air flow adjustment means in this embodiment is an air flow inlet collar 54 which is placed in front of the inlet opening 23. The collar 54 has open areas 54a. In this embodiment the open areas are rectangular. An occupant can adjust the collar 54 by a mechanical linkage 54b, or it can be electrically or pneumatically controlled via a central control system. The linkage rotates the collar to alter the flow of air. Once the flow is adjusted, changes in pressure will not effect the flow rate of the outlet air 3b. The rising or falling of the port controller within the shell assembly prevents this occurrence. Depending on the clearances 47A and 47B, the material and weight of the port controller assembly, and size of the differential pressure plate, this embodiment can accommodate device differential pressures ranging well below the 1/3" wg (as shown in prototype tests using 16 guage aluminum) to fan capacity. Depending on the clearances 47A and 47B and the scale of the design, the primary embodiment can accommodate air flow rates ranging from 25 cfm to fan capacity. The shell assembly is designed to be placed in conjunction with ordinary ventilation ducting.
The secondary embodiments involve flow adjustment means which alter an aspect of the differential pressure plate 41. The flow rates can still be altered after initial adjustment, but not with the ease as shown in the primary embodiment. The differential pressure plate 41 in all secondary embodiments has a differential plate orifice 51 located in the center of the differential pressure plate 41. All secondary embodiments also possess a orifice adjustment means 52A, 52B, or 53. The orifice adjustment means consists of a means to alter the area of the differential pressure plate orifice. The area of the orifice 50 can be determined by the following equation:
Required Orifice Diameter (inches)=0.3137� Desired Flow (CFM)-1.476)!1/2
This formula is based on a circular shell assembly with an inner diameter of 12 inches, a circular shell cap orifice of 6 inches, an aluminum port cap of 6 inches diameter (however, of sufficient clearance to allow sliding through to shell cap orifice) and 4" tall, and an aluminum differential pressure plate diameter of 12 inches (again capable of easy movement within the shell assembly). Using 52A or 52B, the area of the orifice can be adjusted by a conventional meter port cover. 52a is a `screw`, adjusted port cover, and 52b is a `butterfly` adjusted port cover. These mechanisms are common in the heating and ventilation ducting art.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification.

I have an app which allows users to schedule alarms to sound at certain times, repeating at intervals of their choosing. I am using JSON to persist the alarm details, using SharedPreferences as storage.
I am using AlarmManager to schedule when my app should be notified that an alarm should sound to notify the user. I am currently using the setRepeating() method of AlarmManager, supplying the interval provided by the user. This works well, and in theory the app would never need to update the JSon which stores the next alarm time, as AlarmManager will just reschedule the next alarm time using the interval.
However, my thinking is that when the device is rebooted, I will need to supply a up to date alarm time to AlarmManager to avoid AlarmManager thinking an alarm has been missed as this is not necessarily the case.
So, what's the best way to do this?
- update the JSon next alarm time when the alarm is sounded, even though this may not be necessary (setRepeating() handles this as long as there is no reboot)?
- register for and listen for shutdown broadcasts and update JSon then (this raises questions - just how long will the app get to calculate and write alarm details to storage given that the phone is shutting down)?
- don't update the JSon but add logic to the object which is woken by the AlarmManager to decide if the alarm just broadcast is valid and the user should be alerted?
I'm sure any of the above will work, but I can't decide which is the nicest way to do it.

Fifi Geldof is to follow her father Sir Bob up the aisle
Bob Geldof is to marry his long-term girlfriend, French actress Jeanne Marine, as I revealed yesterday, and it could be a double wedding as his daughter, Fifi, has also become engaged.
Fifi, 31, whose younger sister, Peaches, died suddenly last month with heroin in her body, has accepted a marriage proposal from her 33-year-old boyfriend, Andrew Robertson.
'They're going to hold the wedding in July next year,' says one of her friends. Another adds: 'I think we all need a happy family event now.'
Fifi, 31, has accepted a marriage proposal from her 33-year-old boyfriend Andrew Robertson
Bob Geldof is to marry his long-term girlfriend, French actress Jeanne Marine
The timing means it will not coincide with the inquest into the death of TV presenter Peaches, who died aged 25.
The inquest opened in Gravesend, Kent, but after a short statement by the police, was adjourned until July.
Fifi, who was educated at the now-closed private Bedgebury School in Kent, told friends that she and her 'beautiful bridesmaids' were yesterday due to meet fashion designer Jasper Conran, who will create her bridal gown.
An executive in the offices of David Cameron's PR pal Matthew Freud, Fifi has been courting Robertson, known as Sandy, since last summer.
The news comes as the family grieves the death of Peaches Geldof, whose inquest opened yesterday
Robertson, a one-time homeless magician, describes himself as an 'artist and busker'.
He runs an organisation called Dirtybeach, which creates sand sculptures on beaches to make sometimes light-hearted political and environmental points.
He even appeared on the BBC TV programme Dragons' Den, dressed in a red kilt, with the intention of asking for £100,000 of funding to build litter-removing robots.
The producers edited out his idea, screening only his bid for £22,000 for a pop-up beach bar — which the Dragons turned down.
He told Dragons' Den he had been homeless in 2007 and had a 'plethora' of jobs. He even worked as a lap-dancer at Stringfellows. 'I started out as an engineer,' he said. 'I was Father Christmas once.'
Of Geldof's marriage proposal to Jeanne Marine, her friend, the model Jerry Hall, told me: 'They have been through hell, but they are determined something positive will come out of it.'
The Live Aid founder has been courting Jeanne since his divorce from TV presenter Paula Yates in 1996. She died of a heroin overdose four years later at the age of 41.
After Yates's death, Geldof adopted Tiger Lily, her now 17-year-old daughter by the late Australian INXS singer Michael Hutchence. In addition to Peaches and Fifi, Geldof had Pixie, now 23, with Yates.
New TV exposé of Clifford
Max Clifford is due to be sentenced today on eight counts of indecent assault, but the story is not over yet.
Detective turned investigative reporter Mark Williams-Thomas — who exposed Jimmy Savile's dark side as a serial sex abuser in his ITv documentary — has been working on a Channel 4 show about the PR guru. My source tells me: 'Mark's documentary will make new revelations and have interviews with witnesses who haven't spoken before.
'Although it's taken 22 months to film, the whole thing was a total gamble because had Clifford been cleared, the documentary could not have been shown.'
Notting Hill is revolting. Celebrity residents appear to have driven a wealthy financier out of the fashionable London address before he has even moved in.
Neighbours including Ruby Wax protested against Mark Hawtin's plans for a vast basement extension in Elgin Crescent, describing it as an 'unauthorised land grab'.
Having secured planning consent after a two-year battle, Hawtin has now put the six-bedroom property on the market for £8.5 million.
The house is being marketed as the 'ultimate blank canvas to create a dream home'. Just not his dream home.

Dr. N. Joy Dubost, who recently earned her doctorate in food science at Penn State, measured the activity of two antioxidants, polyphenols and ergothioneine, present in mushrooms, using the ORAC assay and HPLC instrumentation, as part of her dissertation research. She found that portabella mushrooms had an ORAC value of 9.7 micromoles of trolox equivalents per gram and criminis had an ORAC value of 9.5. Data available from other researchers shows carrots and green beans have an ORAC value of 5; red pepper 10; and broccoli 12.
The ORAC assay, the most well known test of antioxidant capacity, focuses on the peroxyl radical, the most predominate in the human body. Free radicals, such as the peroxyl radical, are thought to play a role in the aging process and in many diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's and atherosclerosis. Epidemiological studies have shown that those who eat the most fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants have lower incidence of these diseases.
Dubost detailed her results in a paper, Quantification of Polyphenols and Ergothioneine in Cultivated Mushrooms and Correlation to Total Antioxidant Capacity Using the ORAC and HORAC Assays, presented Monday, June 26, at the Institute of Food Technologists meeting in Orlando, Fl. Her co-author is her dissertation adviser, Dr. Robert Beelman, professor of food science.
Dubost explains that assays are a first step toward determining how effective a food is in providing protection against oxidative damage. Anti-oxidants inhibit increased rates of oxidation, which can damage proteins, lipids carbohydrates and DNA.
She adds, "The ORAC assay does not tell what happens in the human body but this assay is currently under investigation as to how it can predict physiological activity."
The Penn State study showed that the anti-oxidant effect of mushrooms is due primarily to the presence of polyphenols. Dubost and Beelman had earlier identified mushrooms as an abundant source of the anti-oxidant, ergothionene.
Dubost notes, "Evidence suggests that erogothioneine is biologically very important and, even though the assay used does not show it contributes to total antioxidant activity in the mushrooms, it may significantly contribute antioxidant activity in the body."
The ORAC values found in the latest study indicate that mushrooms are potent anti-oxidant sources. The research revealed that, of the mushrooms tested, portabella mushrooms and crimini mushrooms have the highest ORAC values. Criminis, which are brown, are otherwise similar to the popular white button mushroom, the one mostly commonly consumed in the U.S. The white button mushroom has an ORAC value of 6.9, above tomato, green pepper, pumpkin, zucchini, carrot, and green beans.
Dubost says, "You don't have to eat only the vegetables with the highest anti-oxidant capacity to benefit. If you eat a variety of mushrooms along with a variety of other vegetables, you'll be getting a variety of antioxidants."
