 Mindful thinking is the new competitive edge Science confirms the distinction between the biological brain and the conscious mind. Each day, a game of mind versus matter plays out on a field defined by the problems we must solve. Most are routine, and don't demand a more mindful approach. It's when we're faced with more difficult challenges that our thinking becomes vulnerable to brain patterns that can lead us astray. We leap to solutions that simply don't work. We fixate on old mindsets that keep us stuck in neutral. We overthink problems and make them worse. We kill the ideas of others, as well as our own. Worse, we keep doing these things, over and over again, naturally and instinctively. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Winning the Brain Game , author and creative strategist Matthew E. May explains these and other "fatal flaws" of thinking, catalogued over the course of ten years and hundreds of interactive creative sessions in which he gave more than 100,000 professionals a thought challenge based on a real case far less complex than their everyday problems. Not only did less than 5% arrive at the best and most elegant solution, but the solutions given were remarkably similar, revealing seven observable problem-solving patterns that can block our best thinking. Calling on modern neuroscience and psychology to help explain the seven fatal flaws, May d raws insights from some of the world's most innovative thinkers. He then blends in a super-curated, field-tested set of "fixes" proven through hundreds of creative sessions to raise our thinking game to a more mindful level. Regardless of playing field, mindful thinking is the new competitive advantage, and the seven fixes are a magic set of tools for achieving it. Winning the Brain Game will lead you to better decision-making, higher levels of creativity, clearer strategies, and overall success in business, work and life. Matthew E. May is a five-time author and recognized thought leader on strategy and innovation. A popular speaker, facilitator, and seminar leader, he confidentially coaches executives, artists, and athletes, and conducts custom thinking sessions for leading organizations all over the world.

In two of his ensuing three plate appearances, Phegley simply looked for something that didn't move side to side, and that approach paid off.
The catching cleanup hitter belted first-pitch fastballs for a third-inning three-run homer and a seventh-inning bases-clearing double to complete his career-best 4-for-4, seven-RBI effort in the Barons' 8-6 win over the visiting Chattanooga Lookouts.
"The first at-bat, I saw all sliders," Phegley said. "Their catcher told me [later], 'We probably should have thrown you a straight one."
As it was, the slugger was sitting on a heater -- "dead red" in baseball speak -- but warned that this strategy is nothing new.
"That's the way I have hit all my life," the White Sox's 2009 first-rounder said. "The first available fastball I see, I am going to go after it.
"Pretty lucky that I got the fat part of the bat on them."
Fortunate, he said, because Lookouts starter Nathan Eovaldi, who had allowed two runs or fewer in four consecutive starts, pairs his two breaking pitches with a 90+-mph fastball.
The Dodgers pitching prospect focused on the outside part of the plate in his sixth-inning matchup with Phegley, which resulted in a leadoff single. That was the lone situation in which the fourth-place hitter didn't come to bat with runners on base. Brandon Short, who scored three times, and Chris Marrero, who crossed the plate twice, were most often aboard for Phegley's plate appearances.
Phegley's previous career high in RBIs was four. He had two homers and drove in four on April 21 against Mississippi. He has 27 through 48 games.
Thursday also represented Phegley's second career four-hit game. He accomplished that feat playing for Class A Kannapolis in Sept. 2, 2009 against West Virginia. (He didn't plate a run that day.)
But Phegley stopped short of ranking the performance among his best, specifically because it lacked balance. He also caught nine innings behind home plate, and the first three weren't so fun. Reliever-turned-starter Joe Bisenius walked seven and allowed three runs in his brief outing.
"Our trouble throwing strikes on the mound," Phegley said, "that took away some of the excitement."
The Barons' first reliever, Johnnie Lowe (3-2), picked up the slack, throwing four shutout innings.
Phegley was actually an unlikely solution to his starter's struggles. He entered the game with just three hits in his last 20 at-bats, dropping his batting average to .255. That mark rose to .271 by the end of the night.
The 23-year-old said said he has been swinging and missing on pitches he usually connects with. So with the ball looking so big Thursday, wouldn't Phegley have wanted a fifth at-bat?
"Seven RBIs is a pretty good week," the backstop said. "With the humidity and the heat tonight, I was totally OK with winning it in the top of the ninth."

Martina Anderson MEP addresses European Parliament on EU vote – VIDEO
This is my speech from the extraordinary plenary earlier today.
We stand by the vote of Ireland, which like Scotland voted Remain. We accept, respect and will defend the clear wishes of the people of the north of Ireland.
However, if English votes drag us out of the EU against our democratic will that is simply "Britannia waives the rules"
I tell you, the last thing that Ireland could tolerate would be an EU border with 27 Member States stuck right in the heart of it!
Anderson calls for urgent meeting with EU leaders to discuss referendum
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson has written to the heads of the European institutions requesting an urgent meeting to discuss the result of last week's EU referendum.
Ms Anderson said;
"The result of last week's referendum will have huge implications for the future of the peace process, the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, and the ongoing stability and welfare of communities across the north of Ireland.
"The people of the north of Ireland voted clearly and definitively to remain within the European Union.
"The British government does not have any mandate to represent the interests of the people of the north in regard of the European Union.
"There is now a democratic imperative to respect the vote to remain in the European Union from the north of Ireland.
"I have written to the heads of the European Institutions seeking an urgent meeting to discuss the options available to ensure the democratically expressed will of people in the north of Ireland is respected in coming negotiations.
"The north of Ireland should be enabled to maintain its membership of the European Union either in the context of a united Ireland or by special arrangement." Ends/Críoch
Onus on British government to call border poll – Anderson
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson has said there is an onus on the British government to recognise the vote in the devolved administrations and has reiterated calls for a border poll on Irish unity.
Speaking after the result was officially announced, Ms Anderson said,
"This referendum had nothing to do with the best interests of our people, our island or our economy.
"This was all about a narrow-minded Tory party and their internal ruptures.
"Therefore I am very proud of the 56% of the electorate who saw through this and voted in favour of remaining as a member of the EU.
"Unfortunately however, votes in England and Wales now mean the 440,707 people in the North who voted to Remain in the EU are being dragged unwillingly out of the EU.
"English votes have overturned the democratic will of the north.
"There is an onus on the British government to recognise the vote in the devolved administrations and there is an onus on them to provide answers for the several unanswered questions that the people of the north have.
"Sinn Féin will now be pushing for a border poll, a measure agreed upon in the Good Friday Agreement 18 years ago, to provide Irish citizens with the right to vote for an end to partition and to retain a role in the EU."
Israel must end water war against Gaza – Anderson
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson has said Israel must end its water war against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Vote 'Remain' on Thursday 23rd June – VIDEO
We in Sinn Féin have always been a vocal critical of the democratic deficit in the European Union – and we still are. However, a situation where part of our country is in the EU and the other part outside would cause huge problems in terms of the economy, free movement and have serious political consequences.
In this, the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, no nationalist or republican should play any part in reinforcing the partition of our country.
We are asking you to vote 'Remain' in the Brexit referendum
Anderson and McGuinness meet Derry Islamic group
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson today led a delegation meeting with members of Derry's Islamic community to discuss the creation of a community hub in the city.
Speaking after meeting with representatives of the Islamic community in the north west, Ms Anderson said;
"I met today with members of the Islamic community from the north west alongside Martin McGuinness and City Centre Manager Jim Roddy, We discussed their campaign to establish a community hub in the city and identify a facility.
"The Islamic community are involved in a range of activities in the city and wider north west and are keen to continue to contribute to our diverse society.
"At today's meeting we discussed ways to assist the group to access external funding in order to establish a community hub in the city.
"Martin McGuinness will explore options in the Assembly, I will explore opportunities at the European Parliament and our colleagues will also make enquiries at Derry and Strabane District Council.
"Derry's Islamic community make a valued contribution to the cultural life of our city and we will continue to support that."
Brexit would be bad for agriculture and agri-food industries – Anderson
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson has said leaving the European Union would be bad for the agriculture and agri-food industries.
Speaking after meeting a group of farmers in Glenmornan, Co Tyrone, Ms Anderson said;
"Clearly Brexit would have negative consequences for business, for agriculture, for the environment and for rural development across Ireland.
"One of the main sources of uncertainty following a Brexit would be around the type of trade arrangements which could be negotiated with the EU and the rest of the world.
"I have no doubt that a Brexit would leave the agri-food sector both north and south in a more difficult situation with respect to having access to export markets.
"In the north, we currently receive €326million/£236 million annually to support our farmers and this is hugely important for our agricultural industry.
"We also secured £186.5 million of EU funds towards our new Rural Development Programme.
"It simply would not make sense to put that level of support in jeopardy."
Anderson welcomes introduction of plain packaging for tobacco
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson has welcomed the introduction of plain packaging for tobacco products to reduce rates of smoking.
Ms Anderson said;
"The introduction of plain packaging for cigarettes and tobacco products is another welcome step towards helping protect people from the dangers of smoking.
"I played a key role in driving the Tobacco Products Directive which brought about this change through the European Parliament.
"This will mean all new tobacco packets will be dark green instead of the previous individual brand colours and will feature graphic images of the deadly impact of smoking.
"Research has shown that young people between the ages of 11 and 16 are more susceptible to tobacco advertising than any other age group and this latest restriction will remove one of the last remaining advertising methods.
"Hopefully this will lead to fewer young people taking up smoking, a habit which kills 50 per cent of tobacco users."

With Steven still being Champion, they are saying that Ruby/Sapphire's story takes precedence over Emerald's.
Well, D/P and Platinum also have conflicting stories... stories of Giratina and Cyrus are different in those games. If they've chosen Crystal's and Platinum's stories to be canon, they will also choose Emerald.
They will never exclude any third game from canon. Emerald is also part of canon. We just don't have proof yet, because R/S/E seem to be last in timeline. Platnium is already proven to be canon only because it takes place before B/W and B2/W2.
Assuming that all third games are canon, World Tournament confirms that B2/W2 take place before R/S/E.

People might already know this, but when you turn the camera upside down, the photo/video you shoot is still recorded right side up.
No, the picture is recorded exactly the same way as usual. It is no more rotated than when you shoot portrait vs. landscape.
The only difference in the processing of the image when you shoot upside down is one byte in ExIF info. The gravity sensor knows where the "top" is w.r.t. the recorded image, and this is marked in ExIF.
If you use a smart enough image viewer, then THIS VIEWER will turn the image upside down (basing on the info). But if you strip ExIF, the image will be shown "as shot".

ICT Industry Slow To Embrace Low Carbon Economy
According to a study by Gartner and the World Wide Fund for Nature, the information and communication technology industry has been slow to embrace the low carbon economy and are missing out on opportunities.
Gartner and the World Wide Fund for Nature invited 24 global ICT providers to participate in a five- section study on their commitment to tackling climate change. The first three examined how providers run their business internally, their supply chain, and how well they communicate their work on impact on climate change. The remaining two looked at the extent to which the providers are focusing on climate change as a commercial opportunity.
The survey found that of the 15 vendors that responded to the survey, Fujitsu, HP and IBM did well in virtually every category. While nine providers, Accenture, Acer, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, EDS, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun and TCS chose not to participate.
Self-professed leaders, such as Nokia, Ericsson, Google, Nortel, Cisco, SAP and Wipro, all lacked an overall GHG target, according to the study. Google was singled out for not having an environmental policy, while Nortel and Cisco were reported as having bland and non-committal policies.

Lawyers for Commissioner of Forests demand apology from Capitol News
Lawyers for Commissioner of Forests, James Singh have written to Capitol News demanding an apology over a report that suggested that Singh had rented his Ogle property to logging company Bai Shan Lin.
The letter follows:
We write on behalf of our client, MR. JAMES SINGH, the Commissioner of Forests of the Guyana Forestry Commission. We are instructed by our said client that on or about the 22nd day of August, 2014, statements were televised on your Daily Newscast suggesting that our said client, Mr. James Singh, has rented his property situate at Ogle, East Coast Demerara to BAISHANLIN INTERNATIONAL FOREST DEVELOPMENT INC.
We are further instructed by our said client that his property is not rented nor was it ever rented to BAISHANLIN INTERNATIONAL FOREST DEVELOPMENT INC. or anyone operating in the Forest Sector.
In or around the month of April, 2013, Mr. James Singh advertised his said property for sale or rent in several issues of the Guyana Chronicle Newspaper. Several persons responded to the said advertisement and the property was eventually rented to and still is rented to a person who is not operating in the Forestry Sector.
We are instructed by our said client to call upon you, as we hereby do, to retract your statements made on the 22nd day of August, 2014 suggesting that our client, the Commissioner of Forests, has rented his property to BAISHANLIN INTERNATIONAL FOREST DEVELOPMENT INC. and to issue an unqualified apology to our client.
These false and malicious statements were calculated to cause and have indeed caused our client irreparable damage both in his professional and personal life. The said publication was intended to convey to the public that our client has a corrupt relationship with BAISHANLIN from which he derives financial benefits to condone the alleged illegalities being committed by BAISHANLIN and reported in the press.

Twenty Proven Ways to Drive Massive Traffic
1. Great Content First you have to have content that people are interested in. If your content is boring, no one is going to want to read it, and they are not going to share it with others. There are plenty of bloggers who were unknown at one time, but once they created that one piece of awesome content, it went viral overnight. Many times all it takes is for one person to like what you write and that person shares it with the world and everyone likes it too. Also, the more blog posts that are created, the more chances there are for people to read and like your content. 2. Talk about Trending Topics If something is on everyone's radar screen, there will be a lot of online searches for it. The trick is to be one of the first people to provide content about that particular topic. Use this as leverage and get your topic seen first. For instance, when Facebook made the announcement that it was going to make changes with promotional posts, everyone was upset about this because this change would basically make those posts obsolete. The online world went crazy. I created a post about it, and had very good results! Because of that one post, the keyword ranks number four. This sends plenty of blog traffic my way. 3....view the listing
TECHNIQUE 1: SLIDESHARE – Slideshare is one of my favorite techniques to drive traffic to my blog or website. It really sends good amount of traffic. So I decided to test this for my books too. I was shocked to see that the traffic that I was sending from Slideshare to the sales page of my book was not converting at all. On further inspection I found that while the platform sends traffic to the sales page of your book, that traffic is not the kind of traffic which really wants to spend their money. That traffic is the kind of traffic which is looking to absorb as much information as it can without paying a dime. Then, I stopped using Slideshare because I was putting in too much effort and was not getting any results at all. TECHNIQUE 2: FIVERR GIGS – Many a times we hear about the Fiverr gigs available in the market that promise to increase your sales or free download drastically. They make a bold claim to do so and back it up by saying that they have a loyal list of people who eagerly wait to be fed with quality information related to the niche. But have you ever tried it? Well, if you haven't tried it yet, don't try it now. I can assure you that these gigs don't work. I have spent...view the listing

The Antilight Invasion: EpilogueThe War was over, Daraku was finished and all traces of the Antilight and the Purelight were gone. Geno and Daraku's attacks were too powerful and if neither side gave in, the Universe would collapse, so Geno made one last atonement and sacrificed itself to stop Daraku. As a result the Antilight vs. Purelight war was now over, but Geno's long time friend Gaz was now heartbroken knowing his favorite toy and best friend was now gone.

Inside of a Temple, a man awakens, he is unsure where he is at, or why he is at this place, however the man gingerly gets to his feet, as he sees a wound on his white and gold cloak. The Man touched it, and there was nothing more than dried blood, as the man took a look to his surroundings.
"Where am I, and why am I still alive, I thought?......." Before he could finish a small, green, leafy fairy like creature swirling around the man. "Who and what are you little creature, did you save me, and are you a messenger of the Lumen Sages or Umbra Witches?" The man asked as the Creature floated into the opposite direction. "Wait, I need answers from you?" The man said as he followed the creature throughout the Temple. The Man followed the creature into a small shrine as the creature stood still, allowing the man to catch up with it. "Why did you stop, and where have you brought me too?"

The Skies we're being devoured by the Antilight, plants, trees, and nature itself was dying at the mercy of it's power, and monsters everywhere we're murdering innocent lives and destroying cities turning the entire Earth, into a barren wasteland. Above the Antilight covered Skies was the Plane carrying Zero, Ness, Shulk, Lucina, Robin, Roy, Issac, Fox, and Falco as they were all looking out the windows, thinking as Shulk held Ness in his arms as the boys looked out the window both looking pretty scared.
"The sands in the Hourglass is running very low, and I get the feeling we're on Borrowed time, hopefully we can restore whatever allies of their own power before The Antilight completely consumes all of us." Robin said as he saw all sorts of Demons hovering over the sky but none of them we're in their direction.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a transfer ribbon, and more particularly, it relates to a transfer ribbon which is suitable for use in either a thermal printer or an impact printer and which provides for improved sharpness of any data printed with the transfer ribbon.
2. Description of Related Art
The typical and well-known arrangement in a printing operation provides for transfer of a portion of the ink from an ink ribbon to paper or like record media and which results in a mark or image on the paper. Also known are printing inks which contain magnetic particles wherein certain of the particles are transferred to the record media for encoding characters in a manner and fashion so as to be machine readable in a subsequent operation. MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) data is magnetic data which is printed utilizing the encoding system just mentioned.
In the printing field, the impact printer and the thermal printer have been the predominant means for printing data on a document or record media. The typical arrangement in the impact printing operation provides for the transfer of a portion of the ink ribbon onto the record media when the ink ribbon is impacted thereagainst. In thermal printers, the intense heating of localized areas of the ink ribbon causes transfer of the ink from the ink ribbon onto the record media. A deficiency with transfer ribbons of the prior art is that they were not readily adaptable for use on both the thermal printer and the impact printer. Another deficiency with thermal ribbons of the past is that they did not provide good print density, sharpness and resistance to smearing if used in an impact printer.
There is, therefore, a need to provide a transfer ribbon which is capable of transferring a sharp mark or image when used in either a thermal printer or in an impact printer.
The present invention relates to a transfer ribbon. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a transfer ribbon which is capable of transferring a sharp image when the ribbon is used with either a thermal printer or with an impact printer.
In one aspect, this invention comprises a transfer ribbon suitable for use with either a thermal printer or with an impact printer, the transfer ribbon comprising a substrate, and a transfer coating which is coated on one side of the substrate, the transfer coating comprising about 20 to 80 percent pigment, and about 20 to 60 percent primary amide.
In view of the above discussion, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a transfer ribbon that may be used in either a thermal printer or in an impact printer.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a transfer ribbon having improved print density when used in an impact printer.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a transfer ribbon having improved smear resistance when used in an impact printer.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide a transfer ribbon having a substrate and a coating containing only two components for enabling printing with a thermal printer or with an impact printer.
With these and other objects, which will become apparent from the following description, the invention includes certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, a preferred form or embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this specification.
FIG. 1 illustrates a receiving document and a thermal printing element operating with a ribbon base having a magnetic thermal functional coating thereon which incorporates the ingredients as disclosed in the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows the receiving document with a part of the coating transferred in the form of a digit, symbol or other mark onto the receiving document; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a receiving document and an impact printing element operating with the transfer ribbon of the present invention.
The transfer ribbon 20, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a base or substrate 22 of thin, smooth, tissue-type paper or polyester-type plastic and a coating or layer 24 on the substrate. The substrate 22 of the polyester-type plastic is in the range of 14 to 75 gauge polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene or like material. The coating 24 is thermally activated and includes magnetic pigment or particles 26 as an ingredient therein for use in imaging or encoding operations to enable machine reading of characters or other marks. Each character or mark that is imaged on a receiving paper document 28 or like record media produces a unique magnetic pattern or image that is recognized and read by the reader. In the case of ribbons relying on the magnetic thermal printing concept, the pigment or particles 26 include magnetic oxides or like sensible materials.
As alluded to above, it is noted that the use of a thermal printer having a print head element, as 30, substantially reduces noise levels in the printing operation and provides reliability in MICR imaging or encoding of paper or like documents 28. The magnetic thermal transfer ribbon 20 provides the advantages of thermal printing while encoding or imaging the document 28 with a magnetic signal inducible ink. When the heating elements 30 of a thermal print head are actuated, the imaging or encoding operation requires that the pigment or particles of material 26 in the coating 24 on the coated ribbon 20 be transferred from the ribbon to the document 28 in the form of characters 32 for recognition by the reader.
A portion of the transfer coating 24 transfers from the substrate 22 to the receiver stock 28 (FIG. 2) when the transfer coating 24 is thermally activated by means of a thermal printing element, as 30.
FIG. 3 shows an arrangement wherein the transfer ribbon 20 of the present invention is used with an impact printing element. A portion of the transfer coating 24 transfers from the substrate 22 to the receiver stock 28 when the transfer ribbon 20 is impacted, for example, by a print head 34 having one or more print wires, as 36, or a typewriter print element, or an impact encoder.
The functional coating or layer 24 exhibits the following characteristics, namely, the coating must be resistant to rubbing and smudging, the coating must not inhibit transfer of the thermal-sensitive material 26 in the coating 24 at normal print head voltage, pulse width and temperature, and the coating 24 must allow a bond of the magnetic thermal-sensitive material 26 in the coating 24 onto the paper 28 upon transfer of such materials.
The transfer coating 24 may include either magnetic or nonmagnetic pigment or particles as an ingredient therein so that Magnetic Ink Character Recognition ("MICR") data may be printed on the receiver stock 28.
The following examples show coating systems including means for providing a thermally reactive material having a cohesive strength that inhibits smearing of data.
In the simplest form of the thermal or impact transfer coating of the present invention, only two solid ingredients are required. A color pigment such as iron oxide for magnetic signal recognition and a primary amide such as Armid O or Armid C are used. If the recognition of the printed mark, such as optical character recognition (OCR) or a barcode, needs to be accomplished by non magnetic means such as lasers or infra-red or fluorescent sensors, the magnetic iron oxide can be substituted by any other colored or fluorescent pigment with proper reflectance characteristics. The main intent of this invention is not associated with the specificity of the pigments or formulations but to declare that the combination of a properly dispersed pigment and a primary amide is capable of being transferred by thermal or impact energy from a 20 to 75 gauge substrate of either paper or plastic film such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene or any other conventional material which is flexible in the 20 to 75 gauge thickness range and wherein the coating weight of the combination is controlled in the range of 5 to 30 milligrams per four square inches.
______________________________________ WetMaterial % Dry Wt. Range (%)______________________________________Pigment:Iron Oxide or 50.0 50.0 30-70Colored PigmentPrimary Amide:Armid O or Armid C 50.0 50.0 30-70Solvent:N-Propanol (70%) -- 210.0Distilled Water -- 90.0Total 100.0 400.0______________________________________ Solids Percent: 25.0
In the above example, N-Propanaol can be substituted by Isopropanol or Ethyl Alcohol and Deionized water can be used in place of distilled water.
The most practical way of preparation of this coating is done in two steps. The first step consists of dissolving the primary amide in the solvent and then dispersing the pigment in this mixture of primary amide-solvent in conventional dispersing equipment such as a ball mill or a sand mill or an attritor.
For proper rheological control of viscosity and flow of the dispersed coating, it is noted that small percentage additions of adhesive and grinding aids are necessary. Also for improving the aesthetics of the transferred image or mark, a small amount of dye was also added. It is emphasized that these additives were used only to control the physical appearance and processing characteristics of the coating and the amounts were controlled so that no appreciable difference was observed in the transfer characteristics of the coating either by the thermal transfer or by the impact transfer process.
Example II is a transfer coating 24, arranged as shown in FIG. 1, and which was applied to the substrate 22.
______________________________________ WetMaterial % Dry Wt. Range (%)______________________________________Magnetic Iron OxidePigment:BASF 0045 40.0 106.4 30-70Magnox 20.0 53.2Primary Amide:Armid O 36.0 95.8 30-70Dye:Basonyl Black X-22 1.0 5.3 0-10Adhesive:EHEC X-Low 2.0 5.3 0-10Grinding Aid:PVP 1.0 2.7 0-10Solvent:Isopropanol -- 388.2Lacolene -- 43.1Total 100.0 700.0______________________________________
In this example a mixture of iron oxides were used. The MAGNET BLACK BASF 0045, iron oxide pigment has a spherical particle shape and the particle size is controlled in the submicron range. This iron oxide exhibits better transfer characteristics both by thermal and impact transfer but lacks in the hiding power because of its fine particle size. To compensate for this deficiency, a smaller amount of iron oxide with a coarser and acicular particle size such as Magnox was used. A two to one ratio of these iron oxides provides a coating with good hiding power and optimum transfer characteristics.
The Magnet Black iron oxide is manufactured by BASF Corporation and the Magnox iron oxide is available from Magnox Inc. of Pulaski, Va. The Basonyl Black X-22 liquid is available as a 50 percent solution of Nigrosine Dye in N-Propanol from BASF Corporation and is used to darken the transferred image which is normally gray because of the color of iron oxide. There are several manufacturers of the fatty amides used in the present invention. The primary amides are available either from Akzo Chemie America or from Humko Chemical, a Division of Witco Company.
Armid C is a cocoamide and Armid 0 is an oleamide made by Akzo whereas Kemamide E is an erucamide and Kemanide C is an oleamide made by Humko.
The fatty primary amides are used as slip agents or friction reducers or lubricants for coatings and films. The amides are insoluble in water but are slightly soluble at room temperature in other solvents such as N-propanol or Isopropanol. The amides are derived from straight-chain fatty acids and are high-molecular-weight (214 to 279) wax-like materials with melting points ranging from 68� C. to 109� C. A straight-chain molecule of oleamide is CH3 (CH2)7 CH=CH(CH2)7 CONH2. The primary amides are derivatives of organic carboxylic acids in which the hydroxyl portion of the carboxyl group has been replaced with an amino group, thus the amides are essentially neutral and non-reactive. The structural formula of a fatty acid is as follows: ##STR1##
The EHEC X-Low is an ethylhydroxyethylcellulose and is used to hold the materials together and also to bind the materials to the plastic substrate. EHEC is manufactured by Hercules Inc. of Wilmington, Del. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a polymeric material soluble in both alcohol and water and mixtures of alcohol and aliphatic solvents such as Lacolene and is used as a grinding aid to wet the iron oxide pigment particles to improve the sharpness of the transferred image. In this example, a mixture of Isopropanol and Lacolene was used as a solvent mixture to maintain higher coating speeds on a conventional coater.
Efforts were made to evaluate the effect of coating weight on the magnetic signal level, and also to evaluate the effect of the use of a more pliable plastic substrate, such as polypropylene. It was noted that coatings on the more pliable plastic substrates perform better in encoding equipment where a parallel encoding (printing the entire line as compared to serial encoding where one character or digit is encoded at a time) concept is used. Test samples were created at various coating weights with a typical coating as described in Example II using a 50 gauge polypropylene substrate and test documents were created using an NCR 7770 encoder and 24 pound safety paper as a receiver stock. The encoded documents were then analyzed for average signal strength using an RDM MICR Analyzer, manufactured by the Development and Manufacturing Corporation of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The following table shows the effect of coating weight on signal strength.
______________________________________Coat Weight Average Magneticmg./4 sq. in. Signal % Nominal______________________________________ 9.3 7012.5 8914.1 11616.5 15320.1 18125.0 211______________________________________
A testing operation was set up to test the smear resistance, print density and overall quality of the data printed using the transfer ribbon 10 of the present invention.
Two tests were conducted to test the improved resistance to smearing of the transferred print data. In the first test, the transfer ribbon 20 was prepared by applying the transfer coating 24 to the substrate 22 by means of conventional coating equipment using the ingredients and quantities described in example II above. The transfer coating 24 was coated on the substrate 22 at 15 to 17 mg/4 sq. in. of coating weight. The test sample of the transfer ribbon 20 was then used to print test data on a 100 pound tab receiver stock (not shown) using an NCR 7770 encoding system.
A control sample was also prepared using a typical conventional impact transfer ribbon that is commercially available. A Sutherland Rub Tester was then used to test the smear resistance of the test sample and of the control sample. Each sample was secured to the oscillating arm of the Rub Tester. The oscillating arm weight was 4 pounds, and it secured the back side of the printed sample.
A sheet of conventional white label stock was secured to the platform of the rub tester. The Rub Tester then caused the oscillating arm to oscillate the printed side of the sample and to rub against the receiving stock for a quantity of 100 times. A quantitative measure of the resistance to smearing of the control sample and the test sample was made by measuring the darkest area on the receiver sheet using a McBeth densitometer. As indicated by Table 1 below, the lower value of the test sample confirmed that it was more resistant to smearing than the control sample.
It is thus seen that herein shown and described is a transfer ribbon for use in the printing field which is suitable for either a thermal printer or an impact printer. The ribbon comprises a substrate and a coating that contains a pigment and a primary amide.
Various changes or modifications in the invention described may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The above description of the invention is intended to be illustrative and not limiting, and it is not intended that the invention be restricted thereto but that it be limited only by the true spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Seventy-four percent of Utah Department of Workforce Services employees interviewed by legislative auditors said they lack trust in the department's management or management systems, a new audit states.
"These concerns included favoritism, inconsistency, retaliation, discrimination and expressions that employees are expendable," a performance audit of the department's work environment stated.
State lawmakers requested an audit of the department after dozens of current and former DWS employees approached them with concerns. "Specifically, the audit requestors expressed concerns that 'the unintended consequences of tighter budgets is a less hospitable workplace that may well be damaging employee morale and productivity,'" auditors wrote.
The 93-page audit was released Tuesday.
Auditors interviewed 72 current or former DWS employees who had complained to legislators, though there were more who had spoken to lawmakers about working conditions, according to the audit.
The Legislative Auditor General's Office also interviewed a random sample of 100 current DWS employees regarding concerns raised by the so-called complainants.
"The complainants and random interviewees expressed concerns at similar rates," the audit says.
The audit paints a picture of a department dealing with mounting pressures — new technology, implementing efficiency measures such as a pay for performance incentive program, and attempting to serve a sharply rising number of people seeking public assistance during the economic downturn, which pinched the state budget. At the same time, state lawmakers were considering privatizing a portion of the department's functions.
"According to one former lawmaker, the DWS director at the time was tireless in working with legislators and the agency to find ways to avoid privatization and the layoffs that would likely follow," auditors wrote.
Some of the changes implemented at the time included a new case management system, an online client portal, a pay for performance incentive program, and creation of the Eligibility Services Division.
The compounding changes "contributed to significant, negative employee responses," auditors wrote.
While DWS management attempted to alleviate the negative impacts of the compounding changes, "the number, extent and frequency of changes were likely ill-advised," auditors wrote.
Jon Pierpont, executive director of DWS, in an 11-page response to the audit, said systemic and program changes occurred in an atmosphere outside "normal operating conditions."
"The Great Recession brought about a unique set of challenges for our agency, adding an additional set of pressures behind the need to change," Pierpont's response states. "We realize that implementing concurrent or overlapping initiatives can create situations requiring staff's increased ability to adapt."
DWS workers verify eligibility for government assistance programs such as Medicaid and food stamps. They also administer public assistance programs and unemployment benefits, help Utahns find work and employers find employees, assist refugees and administer public housing funding.
Based on employee interviews, the audit was largely confined to issues regarding the Eligibility Services Division.
Rapid organizational changes hindered the implementation of the pay for performance incentive program. Auditors found the program did not recognize the collaborative nature of the Eligibility Services Division and it overcompensated supervisors and managers. Moreover, managers cannot demonstrate the program results in greater efficiencies, auditors wrote.
