1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a portable hand-held battery-powered crimping tool for crimping an electrical connector relative to an electrical conductor or similar device.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
It is well known in the prior art to provide crimping tools for crimping an electrical connector to a conductor, and for assembling cable harnesses and the like. One example of such a crimping tool is the CONNECTOOL Series 1300 Crimping Tool with Interchangeable Die Sets, marketed by CONNECTOOL INC. of Ashland, Va., assignee of the instant application. In general, this crimping tool is a manually-operable pliers-like tool having a pair of pivotally connected handles that carry a pair of crimping jaws having removably connected interchangeable pairs of die sets. Another example of such a tool is illustrated in the Erbick, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,899,445. Toggle means may be provided to achieve a mechanical advantage for assisting the crimping operation, and releasable ratchet means serve to restrict movement of the operating handles toward the released position.
One drawback to this type of manually operated crimping tool is that the repetitive closure of the mechanical ratcheting hand tools has the likelihood of producing carpal tunnel syndrome to the user. To alleviate this problem, it has been proposed in the prior art to provide power tools having motor means for effecting tool operation, as evidenced, for example, by the prior U. S. Patents to Chen U.S. Pat. No. 5,558,166, and Vermilyer U.S. Pat. No. 5,662,174, among others.
It is also known in the prior art to provide hand-held battery-powered tools, such as drills, as evidenced by the PALADIN Model No. 4338 Electric Drill, marketed by CONNECTOOL INC., and the electric drill marketed by Black & Decker. In this drill, the handle means that carries the drill chuck includes a battery pack and a direct-current variable speed motor for rotating the drill bit chuck. The present invention was developed utilizing these known teachings to provide an improved automatic battery-powered crimping tool that is self-contained, light-weight, safe, and durable.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a hand-held crimping tool having motor means for closing a pair of pivotally connected crimping jaws to crimp an electrical connector onto a conductor, cable harness, or the like. The invention is characterized by the provision of first toggle means connected between the jaws and operable to pivotally close the jaws to crimp an electrical connector arranged therebetween, and means including an electric motor and second toggle means for operating the first toggle means to displace the crimping jaws between closed and open positions, respectively.
According to a more specific object of the invention, the means for driving the first toggle means includes a driven gear that is rotatably mounted on the tool housing and that is connected with the first toggle means by a drive link that is part of a second toggle means, thereby to obtain an increased mechanical advantage. The drive link of the second toggle means is connected at its other end with a crank arm defined by an eccentrically arranged crank pin on crank means that are rotatably driven by the driven gear.
Another object of the invention is to provide releasable overrunning clutch means arranged between the second toggle means and the drive motor means. The crimping jaws are normally spring-biased toward the open position, and the clutch means is arranged between the crank means that defines the crank arm and the motor-driven gear. Release push-button means are arranged on the handle for operating the clutch means to disengage the crank means from the driven gear, whereupon the crimping jaws are spring-biased to the open released position.
The crimping tool of the present invention includes an interchangeable die system which uses thumbscrews to retain the die sets in the jaws. This provides the user with the ability to use the tool with any number of die sets for applications including coaxial cable connectors, telephone/data connectors, open barrel terminals, insulated and non-insulated terminal lugs, wire ferrules, and fiber optic connectors.
The crimper comes with a forward/reverse switch located under the jaws, and above the main actuator switch. In forward position, the crimp tool operates normally actuating to full closure of the dies, then popping open when cycle is complete. In reverse mode, the jaws open when the actuator switch is pressed. The reverse is supplied for an emergency release action. There is also a push button on the side of the tool that is an emergency quick release. When pressed, the jaws pop open when the motor is not engaged. This was added in case of battery failure preventing reverse action from working.
The handle housing is an ergonomic handle design which contains contours to fit the palm grip, fingers, and thumb rest. The handle is lined with a soft rubber or foam covering for cushioned gripping.
This tool was developed primarily for manufacturing (cable harness and cable manufacturers) to reduce carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive closure of mechanical ratcheting hand tools.

Referring first more particularly to FIG. 1, it is known in the prior art to provide a hand-held battery-operated drill, such as the PALADIN model No. 4338, for example, also sold by CONNECTOOL INC. The drill 2 includes a handle 4 that carries a battery pack 6, the drill being operable by trigger finger means 8 for rotating a chuck 10 that carries the drill bit, not shown. Reversing lever means 11 controls the direction of rotation of chuck 10.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the hand-held battery-powered crimping tool 20 of the present invention includes a sectional handle 22 including hollow sections 22a (FIG. 3) that are connected to contain the connector crimping mechanism 24 of the present invention. A battery pack 26 connected with the bottom of the handle means 22 supplies power for operating the crimping mechanism 24 to displace a pair of pivotally connected crimping jaws 28 and 30 from the illustrated open released position toward a closed crimping position, thereby to crimp an electrical connector C (FIG. 7) upon an electrical conductor W. The handle sections 22a and 22b are releasably connected together by suitable fastener means, not shown. As is conventional in the art the upper and lower crimping dies 32 and 34 are releasably connected with the jaws 28 and 30 by conventional nuts and bolts or thumbscrews. Trigger-operated switch S controls the energization of the motor 50 from battery B, and reversing switch RS operated by a lever or switch operator L controls the direction of rotation of motor 50.
Referring now to FIGS. 4-9, the crimping mechanism 24 includes a metal worm gear housing 36 having a main housing portion 36a containing a counterbored through bore 38. The housing also includes a laterally-extending support portion 36b that supports the stationary crimping jaw, as will be described in greater detail below. The main housing portion 36a also contains a transverse bore 40 that communicates with the first main bore 38. Seated within the bore 40 are bearing means 42 that support one end of worm 44 having a spline shaft 46 that is driven by a direct-current motor 50 that is bolted to the housing main body portion 36a. The motor 50 is operable to drive worm 44 via planetary gear reduction means 52. Mounted for rotation in bore 38 is a worm gear and clutch assembly 56 including driven worm gear 58, ball bearing race means 60 and 62, clutch plate 64, inner and outer crank disks 66 and 68, respectively, crank pin 70, and the manually operated clutch release button 72. The components of the worm gear and clutch assembly have a common axis of rotation A. The operation of the releasable clutch means and worm gear assembly 56 will be described in greater detail below.
The lower crimping jaw 30 is a stationary jaw that is rigidly fastened (by rivets, for example) with the support portion 36b of the housing body 36. The upper crimping jaw 28 is pivotly connected intermediate its ends by pivot pin 80 with the lower jaw 30. The upper jaw includes a pair of parallel jaw plates 28a, 28b spaced by the spacer pins 29a and 29b, and the lower jaw 30 includes an assembly of a pair of lower plates 30a and 30b arranged on opposite sides of a pair of center plates 30c and 30d. A pair of first toggle means 100 and 101 are provided on opposite sides of the center plates 30c and 30d of the stationary jaw means 30. The toggle means include upper first links 102 and 103 that are pivotally connected at one end by toggle pivot shaft 104 with lower toggle links 106 and 107. The upper ends of the toggle links 102 and 103 are connected by pivot pin 108 with the adjacent end of the upper crimping jaw 28, and the other end of the lower toggle links 106 and 107 are connected by pin 110 with the center plates 30c and 30d of the stationary crimping jaw means 30, and the opening 37 in the housing support portion 36b. The drive link 114 carries pivot pin 104 at its one end, and at its other end the drive link is pivotally connected with crank arm pin 70 on cam plate 68, as best shown in FIG. 4. Tension spring 116 is connected between pin 118 on the worm gear housing and the upper crimping jaw 28, thereby to bias the crimping jaws toward their open released position of FIGS. 4 and 6.
Referring now to FIGS. 8-13, the through bore 38 in housing 36 is counter bored to define a support shoulder 36c which serves as a stop shoulder for maintaining together the components of the worm gear and clutch assembly 56. The laterally extending support portion 36b is also provided with a horizontal support ledge 36d that supports the end plates 30a and 30b and the center plates 30c and 30d of the stationary jaw means 30, the plates being riveted to the housing 36 by rivets (not shown) that extend through rivet holes 37. The support portion 36b contains also a through bore 39 for receiving the toggle pivot pin 110. As best shown in FIG. 13, transverse bore 40 contained in the upper end of housing 36 is in communication with through bore 38.
As shown in FIGS. 14-17, the driven worm gear 58 includes on its outer periphery worm threads 58a that are in meshing engagement with the driving worm 44 that is driven by the electric motor 50 via reduction gearing means 52. The driven worm gear 58 contains a counter bore 120 that defines an end wall portion 58b which contains a central opening 126 having three generally radially outwardly extending arm portions 126a.
The worm gear 58 is provided on its outer periphery with a first bearing groove 58c for receiving the first ball bearing race means 60 that rotatably support the worm gear within housing bore 38, and on its inner periphery with a second bearing groove 58d that receives the second ball bearing race means 62 that rotatable supports the crank means 91 within the worm gear 58, as will be described below. Outer bearing rings 124 and 125 (FIG. 7) maintain the bearing race means 60 in the groove 58c, and the inner and outer crank means 66 and 68 maintain the ball bearing race means 62 in the groove 58d when the cam plates are introduced within the counterbore 120 contained in the worm gear 58.
Referring to FIGS. 18-21, the release button 72 is formed from a synthetic plastic material such as Delrin and includes a body portion 72a having at one end three radially outwardly extending arms 72b that are received in the corresponding arm portions 126a of opening 126 contained in the end wall 58b of the driven worm gear 58. The free end 72c of the body portion 72a of the release button 72 extends through the central portion of opening 126 of the worm gear 58.
As illustrated in FIGS. 22 and 23, the worm assembly 44 includes an external helical thread 44a, an axial spline 44b that is driven by the output of the reduction gear means 52, and an end shaft 44c. Thus, when the motor 50 and reduction gear means 52 are bolted to the associated end of the housing 36, the worm gear 44 is introduced into the transverse bore 40 for enmeshing engagement with the ring gear 58, the end shaft 44c of the worm 44 being supported by the bearing means 42 mounted in the end portion 40a of the transverse bore 40.
As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the outer crank disk 68 contains a center through bore 128, and an eccentrically-arranged crank pin bore 130 that receives the crank pin 70 of drive link 114. As will be explained in greater detail below, the center of the crank pin bore 130 is spaced from the center 120 by a crank arm D having a length d, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 24.
Referring now to FIGS. 26-29, the clutch plate 64 is formed of a resilient material such as spring steel or suitable synthetic plastic material and includes three radially arranged arms 64a that are provided on each side with oppositely angularly bent wing portions 64b and 64c, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the wing portion 64b are bent to one side of the plane containing the arm 64a, and the wing portion 64c are bent to the other side of this plane.
Finally, as shown in FIGS. 30-32, the inner crank disk 66 contains a crank pin through bore 140 that is offset from the center axis of the inner crank disk by a distance corresponding to the length d of crank arm D, the bore 140 being opposite the crank pin bore 130 in outer crank disk 68, whereby the crank pin 70 extends collinearly through both bores. Thus, the inner and outer crank disks 66 and 68 are connected by crank pin 70 to define crank means 71 (FIG. 6A) upon which is concentrically mounted the bearing race 62. The face of the inner crank disk 66 adjacent the clutch plate 64 contains radial clutch grooves 142 for receiving the wing portions 64c of the clutch plate 64, thereby to define overrunning clutch means 143 (FIG. 6A).
Assume that the crimping mechanism of the present invention is mounted within the carrying handle means 22 as shown in FIG. 2, and that the motor 50 is a direct-current motor driven by a 14.4 volt nickel cadmium battery pack 26 via trigger-operated on-off switch S and lever or trigger-operated reversing switch RS. The handle section 22b is fastened to the gear housing 36 of the crimping mechanism by screw fasteners or the like that extend into threaded holes 41 provided on the adjacent face of the housing 36, the end portion 72b of the release push button extending through the corresponding opening 23 (FIG. 3) contained in handle section 22b. As shown in FIG. 6A, the worm gear and clutch assembly is maintained within the bore 38 of housing 36 with the outer cam member 68 in abutting engagement with the counterbore stop shoulder 36c. The bent wings 64c of clutch plate 64 extend within the corresponding radial grooves 142 contained in the adjacent face of inner cam member 66. The handle section 22a is then fastened to handle section 22b to complete the assembly. The crimping jaws 28 and 30 are biased apart to the normal open or released position of FIGS. 4 and 6 by the biasing spring 116.
To operate the crimping mechanism to fasten a connector C to a wire W (FIG. 7), the trigger T is operated to close on-off switch S (FIG. 2) to activate the direct current motor 50, whereupon worm gear 58 is rotatably driven by motor 50 via reduction gear means 52 and worm 44. The inner and outer clutch disks 66 and 68 are rotatably driven by the worn gear 58 via the clutch plate 64, the oppositely extending wing portions 66b and 66c thereof being in engagement with the corresponding edges of the slots 122 contained in the worm gear and the grooves 142 grooves contained in the adjacent face of the inner crank member 66, respectively. Assuming that crank plate 68 is driven in the counter clockwise direction in FIG. 4, crank pin 70 is eccentrically driven about the axis of rotation of the crank means 71 toward the pivot axis 80, whereupon drive link 114 is displaced to the right to shift toggle pin 104 to the right to extend the toggle linkage 100 and 101 and thereby pivot the upper crimping jaw 28 about pivot pin 80 against the biasing force of spring 116 toward the closed crimping position relative to lower jaw 30. The die members 32 and 34 are brought into engagement with the connector C to initiate crimping thereof onto conductor W. According to an important advantage of the invention, as the toggle links 102, 106 and 103, 107 of toggles 100 and 101 are progressively pivotally displaced toward a relatively linear orientation, respectively, a first toggle mechanical advantage is provided for crimping the connector C to the conductor W, and as the crank arm D on the crank means 71 and the drive link 114 also progressively approach a linear orientation, a second crimping mechanical advantage is achieved. Therefore, two toggle mechanical advantages are achieved for crimping the connector C upon the conductor W.
The "reversing switch" offers an option to the operator to reverse the motion of the crimping jaws at any moment--for whatever reason. During normal operation of this tool, however, the reversing switch is never used. The operator depresses the trigger until the crimping jaws/toggle mechanisms are driven past their "dead center," and a maximum crimping force has been achieved. Now, collapsing past "dead center," the mechanism becomes powered by the biasing spring, causing it to rotate faster than the motor driven inner crank member 66. Driven by the biasing spring, the mechanism disengages the wings of the clutch plate and "overruns" the position of the clutch grooves 142 in inner crank member 66, which used to drive it. With the crimping jaws open, the clutch plate finally assumes its "home position" close to a location that is approximately 180 degrees opposite to "toggle dead center." The operator, after noticing that the crimping jaws have popped open, releases the trigger at his own timing. The cycle is complete.
Depressing the trigger again causes the clutch grooves 142 to rotate, find the wings of the clutch plate at their home position, engage them again, and start a new cycle.
The operator is never required to "closely" monitor the "fully crimped" and "fully open" positions of the tool--and time them with his trigger. The tool is always "popped" open during a window of 120 degrees of rotation of the motor driven inner crank member 66.
In the event that an emergency release condition should be desired when the jaws are in the closed crimping condition, release button 72 is pushed inwardly into the housing to apply axial force to the clutch plate 64, thereby to partially straighten the resiliently bent wing portions and cause bent wings 64c to be disengaged from clutch grooves 142, whereupon the movable crimping jaw 28 is pivoted toward the open position by return spring 116.
The crimping tool is driven by a 14.4 volt direct-current motor 50 that runs at 20,000 rpm, and the reduction gear means 52 is preferably a double planetary reduction gear which drives the worm gear 58. The 28.5:1 reduction ratio of the planetary gear set, in addition to the 30:1 reduction ratio of the worm gear yields an overall reduction ratio of 857:1. The worm gear runs at 23 rpm max for a crimp cycle time of 2.6 seconds mininum. This cycle time includes the time for the jaws to open again after the crimp is done.
While in accordance with the provisions of the Patent Statutes the preferred forms and embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without deviating from the inventive concepts set forth above.

Jones | Sherdog.com
"Bones" will square off with light heavyweight king Mauricio
"Shogun" Rua in the main event of UFC
128, going down March 19 at the Prudential Center in Newark,
Rua was originally supposed to face Jones' teammate Rashad
Evans at the event, but Evans has reportedly suffered a knee
injury that will prevent him from competing.
Following a dominant win over Ryan Bader at
126 on Saturday night, "Bones" was offered the title shot by
the organization and accepted on the spot.
"I feel great. God is so good," said Jones. "I'm going for a world
title, baby. Let's do it."
Rua then entered the cage to face off with his new opponent.
"He's a great fighter. I respect him," said Rua. "I'm a
professional. I [will] fight [against] anyone, no problem."
The victory marks Jones' third consecutive win inside the Octagon.
The unorthodox light heavyweight holds a 6-1 record since joining
the promotion and owns career victories over Stephan
Bonnar, Brandon Vera
and Vladimir
Matyushenko. His lone defeat was a controversial one, as Jones
was disqualified against Matt Hamill
at "The Ultimate Fighter 10" finale for using 12-to-6 elbow
Rua was last seen in the cage dethroning former champion Lyoto
Machida, knocking the karateka unconscious at UFC 113 nine
months ago. A former Pride Fighting Championships star, "Shogun"
has been on the shelf recovering from knee surgery since becoming
champion. Rua is a former member of the Chute Boxe camp and is
known for his aggressive muay Thai attack, knocking out 16 of his
19 career victims.
UFC 128 will also feature a bantamweight duel between two former
champions as Urijah Faber
meets Eddie
Wineland. The card will also showcase a heavyweight tilt
between Mirko "Cro
Cop" Filipovic and Brendan
Schaub as well as lightweight scrap between Jim Miller
and Kamal

Would it be as simple as applying a rotation transform? I'm willing to manage the content of my cells with a rotation transform.
Yes, it is as simple as appyling a Transform.
Here is the code. Write this in the your tableViewController init:
But now what you need to realize is that your axis are also swapped. Any changes you make to the height will change the width (and vice versa) and any changes made to the origin.x changes the origin.y (and vice versa)
It's possible, just need to get the rotation right on all the components in your tableview. I don't have some sample code right now though, but we have it working in our app at work.
I have published sample code that demonstrates one approach for implementing horizontally scrolling UITableViews using transforms. It's called EasyTableView and provides the same interface for both vertically and horizontally scrolling table views.

The US dollar jumped on Monday in banks and foreign exchange agencies for the sixth business session in a row, hitting its three-month high and after the currency had climbed 48 cents last Friday.
Today, the dollar rose 31 cents and was trading at 15.43 pesos in the retail market while in the wholesale segment, it surpassed the 15-peso barrier for the first time since March and closed at 15,32 pesos, 37 cents higher.
The so called "blue" dollar which trades in the informal market added 25 cents at 15.32 pesos in underground houses.
Local media reported today the agricultural sector liquidated more than 319.914 billion dollars last week from exports, which represents the lowest amount in the last three months.
Apart from domestic factors such as offer, demand and interest rates, analysts predict that the Brexit outcome last week could affect the exchange rate. Puente investment bank warned the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union bloc could bring an additional pressure on the dollar, and a bigger volatility."
Former Central Bank governor Mario Blejer said "if this tends to cause a more serious conflict, the international environment could become rarified, which is not positive for Argentina, which seeks to integrate to the international financial system."

Nat Geo Unleashes First Trailer for 'Killing Lincoln', Greenlights 'Killing Kennedy'
In anticipation of "Killing Lincoln" premiere in February, National Geographic Channel has released its first trailer. Making its way out via Entertainment Weekly, the preview video features commentaries from producer Ridley Scott, narrator Tom Hanks as well as lead actors Billy Campbell and Jesse Johnson.
"This is really the Lincoln story you've never seen before. Booth wanted to make his mark," Scott shares as Hanks calls the assassination of John F. Kennedy "the most resonant crime in the history of the nation."
Campbell chimes in, claiming the depiction is "amazingly detailed, accurate, exciting and immensely tragic." Johnson, meanwhile, describes his character John Wilkes Booth, "This was the man who really believed what he was doing was the right thing to do... He was misguided... Not crazy, just wrong."
Based on Bill O'Reilly's bestselling book of the same title, "Killing Lincoln" chronicles the final days of President Lincoln (Campbell) and the plot by his assassin John Wilkes Booth. The late Tony Scott is also credited as the producer, while Adrian Moat serves as the director.
At the same time the trailer for "Killing Lincoln" arrives, Nat Geo announces its plans to make an adaptataion of Reilly's book "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot". "Killing Kennedy" will also be produced by Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions with the principal photography slated to kick off in the spring.
"Collaborating with National Geographic on Bill O'Reilly's follow-up was an easy decision," Scott states. "They share the same passion of storytelling and are willing to take creative leaps and risks to keep viewers entertained to tell the provocative story of Kennedy's last days, a pivotal and historic moment."
Director and actors for "Killing Kennedy" are yet to be announced.

I'm an alien abductee. Here for the night. Ask me a question.

The Visit of the brown
The Truth will set you free; the reality will shock you excitedly.
It was a hot overcast night in the Sydney suburb next to the International Airport; the clouds were low like a haze of fog slightly above the Buildings of the city. The sky was brightly aglow with an unusual Pinkish yellow colour, all was quiet, it was around 1:00 am I was wide awake Jet lagged.
Off in the distance I could hear the distant barking howl of backyard Dogs, Not an unusual thing to hear at night, especially when one lays awake in bed with a body clock ticking to a different time zone. It was then that the Sound of the dogs truly got my attention. They were not communicating as usual, but were sounding off in a linear fashion. Howling that plotted a path drawing closer to my locality. I noticed that the hairs on my body were of a slight tingling when the Dogs howls and baying were at my homes location. And the Concert of Hounds continued in the same linear fashion going away from my residence.
Hurriedly I arose from the bed and dashed to the window to look up, for I was sure
Something had silently flown overhead, but loud enough for the animals to hear and react to. Unfortunately due to the low and strange cloud conditions nothing could be viewed. So step two was needed. (I need no convincing as to the shared reality we are experiencing with these assorted visitors. To me it is history repeating. ) and I got back into bed. Time to visit them.
{" Dear readers, you must forgive me for what I'm going to tell you, for if you use the same procedures as I have, you could get the same results if you're ready to face the fact head on. Be Warned and aware."}
The Grip was strong; I panicked and tried to get free!
Lying back in bed I new time was of the essence, so I calmed myself uncrossed my arms and legs and then proceeded to breath big slow breaths in through the nose, out through the mouth. Whilst relaxing my body part by part, managing interrupting thoughts by gently resting each popup until I had reached a state of not feeling my body anymore. And my breathing was deep and rhythmic. Total relaxation of all but mind.
At this point the human consciousness can be focussed into any endeavour, astral projection, remote viewing, heard prayer and communication. It is the dedication to desire without condition that brings rewards. My simple desire was a hello to those who fly as crew, from a fellow flying crew member. Only thing is, the response was as sudden as it was surmised that my desire was genuine. Obviously permission was granted for just when I was about to stop the procedure the strangest thing happened.
I offer an example for better understanding; place your two index fingers about 10 centimetres 3 inches in front of your eyes. Whilst looking past your fingertips notice a view of a floating double nailed finger as you move your hands apart and together, it's a neat illusion. That's as close as a description of how the [3feet, 1 meter Round] doorway opened up in front of me only 2 feet from my bed head.
I then felt the comfortable urge to place my closest arm, my right arm, as by now I was lying on my right side facing this portal, into the strange opening suspended there.
It was then that another arm appeared and proceeded just as cautiously as me, to formulate a greeting. The arm was petite and simular to a hairless tailed monkey; it was a brown colour with a texture like that of a brown frog. Dry to touch. The fingers were 4 in number and one wrapped around as if a thumb. Nails were black and pointy.
(It was my first totally amazing without fear experience, self generated meeting with the peoples who have put me through the hardest emotional awakenings in my life, starting when I was 5 years old.)
I was distracted by this amazing view un-concerned with any repercussions as to the reality I was partaking into. Then we touched. That was ok my composure was calm
And curious, the texture was just like a dry frog. Cool and alive. Our handshake positioning moved to a friendly arm embrace where we held each by the wrist, the grip was strong; I panicked and tried to get free! But it didn't want to let go. At least till my heart stopped pounding and I had gotten over the Panic. Then as smoothly as it had begun they gently let go and the room returned to normal.
I was out of bed in a flash, light on and wow. Even though it was a triumph for me, it was a failure as well, for I still had issues in my life that needed attention. I had to learn a hard to find truth about ourselves. The only person who had shown us the way
Had his teachings fragmented. Thus began my search for the teachings of Yeshua Ben Joseph. Son of Mary and Joseph born august 31st 7 BC. Unconditional love and total faith in the universal ways relating to the awakening of spirit in man was the keys I found that opened my heart, I am no longer driven to collect material objects, or treat relationships in a simular manner, and that includes how I allow the thoughts to occupy my mind about the people I meet. I don't project desire onto other souls, no longer shall I been a human animal, But a Human Being, Being Human (Spirit – man)
Years later I was attending one of the many seminars of personal interest, when I told the Host channeler who was also teaching how to go beyond the veil, what I had achieved, and that I found it an intensive focusing exercise that was exhausting and long , just to be nicely chastised That the results I got For my first Time at this type of communication resulting from meditation for a little under an hour, was way more than what most people can achieve with days and days of dedicated instruction. I was truly humbled by her statement.
Again I thank you all, For allowing me to Share with all of you, this small piece of information, I hope in your own lives you too are as curious as me to expand your understanding that we were never alone, and never will be, we are apart of a great moment in the ascension of the peoples on this world, from fear base, to compassion base.

What HAVE they been getting up to? Bruce Jenner buys magazine which features his 'troubled' daughters Kylie and Kendall on cover
Though they've defended their innocent images, Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been the subject of many critical headlines this month.
And it seemed Bruce Jenner was keen to learn the extent of the rumours as he purchased a magazine with his teenagers featured on the cover.
But the Bruce clearly isn't concerned, looking rather cheerful as he eyed a hard copy of Star magazine at Ralphs market in Malibu, California on Friday.
This is a joke, right? Bruce Jenner laughs as he checks out the latest issue of Star magazine, featuring his daughters Kendall and Kylie, while he checks out at Ralphs grocery store in Malibu, California on Friday
The 63-year-old former Olympian - who recently split with his wife Kris - even showed the glossy pages to other customers who waited in the check-out line with him, perhaps trying to shed some light on the situation.
Bruce's purchase follows reports that 16-year-old Kylie pulled a 'Do you know who I am?' while
trying to order alcohol at a Beverly Hills hotel.
The privileged teenager arrived at the hotel around 8 pm. on October 18 requesting alcohol and bottle service for Jaden Smith, 15, and her other friends, according to People magazine.
Are you sure you want to read that? The magazine even slammed the 63-year-old on the cover
This is what really happened... Bruce was seen discussing the cover with other store customers as he waited in line
When the host refused the underage Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet, she went from 'really nice' to 'a complete nightmare.'
'When she didn't get what she wanted, it was like someone flipped a switch,' a source told People magazine.
After challenging the host with 'Do you know who I am?' Kylie reportedly declared the establishment as 'f***ing lame' and 'not worth her time'.
Time to go: Bruce Jenner left seen shopping at Ralphs market in Malibu, having just bought a copy of the new Star magazine that pictured his daughters on the cover
Flattered: A flattered Bruce stopped to sign autographs for a fan as he left the supermarket
Patient: The fan waited patiently as Bruce stopped to sign what appeared to be a ball just as he was taking his groceries to the car
Well, that's all of it! The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star unloaded all of his groceries into his truck, which included paper towels
Spoiled tantrum? Kylie Jenner reportedly pulled a 'Do you know who I am?' while visiting a Beverly Hills hotel last week
At 16, Kylie is five years shy of legal drinking age in California, while her sister Kendall has just over another three years to go.
A spokesperson for Kylie did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by MailOnline.
alleged tantrum comes shortly after reports that Kylie and her older
sister Kendall enjoyed a night out at Vignette in West Hollywood.
'She was a complete nightmare': The 16-year-old reality starlet allegedly threw a tantrum after being refused alcohol and bottle service for Jaden Smith, 15, and her other friends
Hollywood It kids: Unlike most children their age Kylie and her friends get access to Tinsel Towns big events and parties
famous siblings reportedly used fake IDs as they hit up the club's
sex-themed Wax Rabbit night alongside Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick.
to TMZ, an official for the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
said it might launch an investigation as to how the underage girls
gained entry.
Meanwhile, Kylie and Kendall both addressed their new partying reputations to their 11.1 million Twitter followers.
Millennial VJ: And while Kendall models, Kylie just met with hip-hop mogul Diddy to discuss coming aboard his 24-hour music channel, Revolt
am so done with everyone making my little sister and I out to be
something that we are not,' Kendall wrote. 'No one has fake ID's and no
one's partying.'
echoed: 'I'm not going to sit around and let grown adults create untrue
stories about me underage drinking & partying every night with a
fake ID...And FYI regarding the "club nights," I was with my father
& family supporting my brother and sister-in-law.'
They were regular Sierra Canyon School cheerleaders until they started homeschooling a year ago.
Wanted by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control? The hotel tantrum and subsequent Twitter rants come shortly after both Jenner girls enjoyed a night out at 21+ West Hollywood club called Vignette
'No one has fake ID's and no one's partying': Her 17-year-old sister Kendall also weighed in over Twitter
Now the not-so-typical teens share are releasing a holiday collection from their PacSun clothing line.
And while Kendall models, Kylie just met with hip-hop mogul Diddy to discuss coming aboard his 24-hour music channel, Revolt.
The brunette socialite would join Diddy's son Christian, rapper Lil Twist, and one of Quincy Jones' kids as millennial VJs - reported TMZ.
Social media expert: When she is not using Twitter and Instagram to express her feelings Kendall likes to show her followers her modelling poses
Remind you of someone? In one image the teenaged star looked just like her big half-sister Kim Kardashian
Not your average teenager: The 17-year-old models clothing and shoes that most girls her age could only dream about
things aren't the same at home since their parents Bruce and Kris
Jenner announced their separation last week after 22 years of marriage.
Half-brother Rob Kardashian just adopted a Great Dane puppy called Blu as an early 18th birthday present to Kendall.

iPod synchronization to a new computer
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team.

Q: I just got a new computer. I put iTunes on, but when it finished installing, it automatically put all the songs I had on the computer in the library. after I removed them, I'm now afraid to plug in my nano for fear that it will erase all my songs and start over. How can i plug in my nano, and keep all my songs?
- Liz
A: Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, there are a couple of things to be aware of:
Firstly, iTunes keeps track of which iPods have been synchronized to which libraries, and therefore when you first connect your iPod to a new iTunes library, iTunes recognizes that your iPod is synchronized with a different iTunes library and notifies you of this, asking you what you want to do:
In this case, selecting "Cancel" will leave your iPod connected to your computer, but an automatic synchronization will not occur. You can then either set your iPod to "manual mode" so that you can manage the content on it manually and add new content via drag-and-drop, or you can recover the content from your iPod back to your computer as described in our iPod 201 article, Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer.
On the other hand, if you've already synchronized your iPod to the new computer and are concerned about losing the content that was added from this librarybecause you've now erased it from iTunes, then you will need to take some extra precautions. In this case, iTunes will diligently remove anything from your iPod that is no longer in the current library because you have already "associated" your iPod with the new computer, and it is now syncing with that computer. The simplest way to prevent an automatic sync from occurring when connecting your iPod to a library that it is already associated with is to disable automatic synchronization globally in iTunes. This is done by going into your iTunes preferences and selecting the "Devices" tab:
Simply check the box beside "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and then click the OK button. This will prevent iTunes from automatically syncing with any iPod (or iPhone) that you connect to this computer. Once you've sorted out your iTunes library, you can return to this screen and UN-check this box to re-enable automatic synchronization.
