A poetry publication!
I do write poetry. Not a lot of it, and I don't submit it often either. But for the first time in a long time, I have a poem out this week.
"Hold Fast", which is a Tam Lin poem with copious swears, is in the current issue of Strange Horizons. Enjoy!

David is so real, so genuine with God. I love how he speaks openly and honestly with Him. David pours out his heart to God but he also recognizes God for being God and asks Him for instruction and direction.

Microsoft change IE8 setup settings
Microsoft is continuing to attempt to appease the European Union courts, with a move that promises to make it even more obvious that its IE8 browser is asking to be the default browser when installed.
According to the software giant, when people first install IE8 it will never install, or become the default browser without your explicit consent.
The move follows complaints from the industry that users who currently select the IE8 browser to be installed aren't given an option, while those who opt for Custom install are.
"Good change: Microsoft does the right thing (finally) with IE8 updater", said Mozilla CEO in a tweet on the back of the news.
"IE8's 'express setting' install will no longer change default to IE: http://bit.ly/9Okv1 Saves me from ranting about that :)", said Matt Cutts, Google's Head of webspam team at Google.
This change applies not only to IE8 installations on Vista and XP, but also when these users with a non-IE default browser install Windows 7.
The new setup procedure will be rolled out in mid-August the company says as part of the next cumulative security update for Internet Explorer.

(RPTP) had a nice day on Thursday as it popped from 10 1/2 to 11 1/2, closing at 11.42, up 54 cents, or 5%, on 1.5 million shares. Volume is perking up. If it gets through the resistance zone, at least at mid-channel around 12 3/4, it will probably close around 14, which is the swing-trade target for RPTP.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has created a dedicated team to monitor violations of coastwise shipping rules as supporters tout the Jones Act's homeland security benefits.
Major freight railroads in the United States employed 152,426 workers as of the middle of June 2016, down 0.2 percent from the previous month and 11.55 percent year-over-year, according to data from the Surface Transportation Board.
The 8,530-TEU CSCL container vessel Xin Fei Zhou scraped its side against the wall of one of the recently inaugurated locks of the important Central American waterway, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Some logistics providers remain skeptical about how well it will work for ports to weigh containers and transmit the data to carriers on behalf of shippers.
The massive $5.3 billion project comes with "considerable safety concerns," which could lead to accidents and delays for shippers and higher claims for insurers, according to a new report from the London-based risk management consultancy.
The proposed change would give NVOs and import buyers the ability to directly transmit the Importer Security Filing, which is expected to improve security and eliminate confusion over who should file.

BATON ROUGE, La., Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being issued by Bohrer Law Firm, LLC.
There is a $9.75 million Settlement in a class action lawsuit with RPM Pizza, LLC ("RPM"), a Domino's Pizza franchised operator. The lawsuit claims that the Defendants violated federal law by sending pre-recorded messages ("robo-calls") about pizza and other food products to consumers in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi without the recipients' prior express consent. The Defendants deny that they violated the law.
Potential Class members are included if, between May 20, 2006 and May 20, 2010, they received a robo-call on their cell phone that was sent by or for RPM or one of its Domino's franchised stores without prior express consent. The robo-calls advertised pizza and other food products offered for sale at RPM's stores in the states of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.
People who received a call between May 20, 2009 and May 20, 2010 are eligible to get a cash payment of up to $15. People who received a call between May 20, 2006 and May 19, 2009 are eligible to get a free large one-topping pizza (in-store pick-up only).
To confirm whether they are included in the Settlement and find out whether they are eligible for a cash payment or a voucher, potential Class Members should visit www.PizzaSettlement.com or call 1-877-552-1288 and provide the cell phone number(s) they had from May 20, 2006 to May 20, 2010.
To get benefits, Class Members must submit a Claim Form by May 4, 2013. Class Members who wish to object to the Settlement or some part of it must do so by February 10, 2013. Class Members who wish to exclude themselves from the Class may do so by February 22, 2013. Additional information concerning the lawsuit may be found at www.PizzaSettlement.com or can be obtained by calling 1-877-552-1288.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Clay Cemetery, in the Kirkwood Neighborhood, is one of the few intact historical sites on Atlanta's Eastside that dates back to early settlers. About 250 acres of Cherokee land was lotteried in 1823 and the Clay family soon bought the land by selling 10 slaves. It is documented that the cemetery became an integrated burial ground in the 1950s well before court ordered integration in the 1970s. Clay Cemetery is located near Giliam park off of Clifton St NE. I've lived in or around Kirkwood for the better part of a decade and used the trolly line trail as a cut through on a weekly basis, but never knew about this interesting historical site until a recent coffee delivery. This cemetery reminds me of some of the worst parts of our history, but also how things can change.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a shift knob and a shift lever, which are adapted to a vehicle.
2. Description of Relevant Art
A shift lever, as a component of a transmission system for operation of transmission function of a vehicle, has at its upper end a shift knob for the driver to grip when driving. The shift knob is provided with a knob button for push-in operation in a shift operation. The grip of shift knob is made of a resin, a leather, aluminum or a wood, which improves its appearance and touch quality. Conventionally, response to client needs causes the production of a plurality of kinds of vehicles, which are assembled with shift knobs whose grips are made of different kinds of materials respectively.
The conventional mechanism of knob button, however, is mounted to the grip of shift knob for direct push-in operation. Thus, the mounting operation of shift knob is troublesome. In addition, if the surface material of grip is changed, exchange of the whole shift knob incurs high cost.
An object of the present invention is to provide a shift lever which facilitates the exchange of a grip as a constituent component of a shift knob and a shift lever.
To achieve the object, a first aspect of the invention provides the following shift knob. The knob includes a grip. A mechanism is for transmission operation via the grip. A connecting member is assembled with the mechanism. The connecting member is mounted to the grip.
A second aspect of the invention provides the following shift lever. The shift lever includes a grip. A lever is for operation with the grip. The lever has a transmission member incorporated therein. A mechanism is for operating the transmission member via the grip. A connecting member is assembled with the mechanism. The connecting member is fixed to the lever. The connecting member has the transmission member incorporated therein. The connecting member is mounted to the grip.
Preferably, the grip defines a first opening on a side thereof, and the connecting member is inserted in the first opening.
Preferably, the grip has a mounting means for mounting the connecting member within the first opening.
Preferably, the grip includes a second opening in communication with the first opening through the grip.
Preferably, the mechanism includes a button pivotable on the connecting member. The button projects from the first opening. The button and the first opening define a space therebetween.
Preferably, the shift lever further includes a cover for covering the space between the button and the first opening.
Preferably, the mechanism includes a first rotation member for pivotal motion on the connecting member; a second rotation member to be pushed by the first rotation member for pivotal motion on the connecting member and to be brought into contact with the transmission member; and a biasing member for biasing against the first rotation member.
Preferably, the connecting member supports the first rotation and the second rotation members. The biasing member is located between the connecting member and the first rotation member.
Preferably, the connecting member is fixed in the first opening, using the space.
A third aspect of the invention provides the following assembly method of a shift lever. A mechanism is assembled to a connecting member. The connecting member is inserted in a second opening of a grip via a first opening of the grip. The connecting member is mounted to the grip.
Preferably, the assembly method further includes fixing a lever to the connecting member.
According to the aspects, the mechanism is assembled to the connecting member first, the connecting member is then mounted to the grip, thus facilitating the exchange operation of the grip. As an option sale at an automobile dealer, the exchange of the knob can be performed. The necessity to exchange only the grip of the shift lever mechanism reduces cost considerably.
The first opening facilitates the insertion and mounting of the connecting member assembled with the mechanism, thus facilitating the grip exchange operation.
The mounting means for mounting the connecting member is simplified, so that the grip is easily made of aluminum or a wood in addition to a resin.
The use of the space allows the connecting member to be fixed to the mounting means in the first opening, thus facilitating the exchange operation of the grip.
The cover prevents foreign substances from entering into the grip or the connecting member, while the concealment of the fixing parts from view improves the appearance for beautification purposes.
The constitution of the mechanism with the first and the second rotation member and the biasing means reduces a number of components, and facilitates the assembly to the connecting member, thus improving the assemble ability and reducing the manufacturing cost.
These and other features, aspects, and advantage of the present invention will be better understood upon reference to the following description, appended claims, and the accompanying drawings where:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a partially cut front view showing a second embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a side view of the above;
FIG. 4 is a sectional side view of the above;
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective explanation view showing the structure of a spring holding part at a base according to the above; and
FIG. 6 is a sectional explanation view showing the structure of a spring holding part at a knob button according to the above.
Embodiments of the invention will be explained with reference to drawings. Identical constitutions of the first and second embodiments of the invention are attached with the same reference characters for explanation.
First Embodiment
FIG. 1 shows the structure of shift knob E1 of the shift lever of a transmission system according to the first embodiment of the invention. The shift knob is mounted to the upper end of the shift lever to operate the transmission mechanism of a vehicle. The shift knob has a knob button 20; a base 10 assembled to a mechanism M1 of a conversion means 30 which is worked by operation of knob button 20; a grip 40 removably mounted to base 10; and a cover 50 removably mounted to grip 40 to cover a gap between grip 40 and knob button 20. The shift knob E1, though base 10, is attached to a shift lever 60. The operation of knob button 20 works through the conversion means 30, as a link lever in the embodiment, a compression rod 61 as a transmission member located slidably in a shift lever 60.
In additional explanation of this structure, the base 10 is configured in tube to allow shift lever 60 to be inserted therein. From the upper to intermediate at the front, the shift lever has an assembly part 11 to allow the assembly of mechanism M1, including a link lever 30. Assembly part 11 has opposed shaft mounting parts 12 on both the left and right of the upper portion thereof, to allow the rotatable mounting link lever 30 by means of a pin 16. Assembly part 11 has opposed shaft mounting parts provided on both the sides of the lower portion thereof, to allow the rotatable mounting of the base of knob button 20 by a pin 15. Projecting from the both the left and right sides of base 10 are mounting parts 14 for the removable mounting of the base 10 to grip 40.
Knob button 20 has shaft support holes 21 on both the left and right sides of its base. Between the left and right support holes 21, the left and right mounting parts 13 of base 10 are interposed, being mounted by pin 15. Between left and right mounting parts 13 and the base of knob button 20, a leaf spring 24 as a biasing means 24 is to bias outwards the upper portion of knob button 20. A shaft support 22 projects from the inner face of the upper portion of knob button 20, which supports the upper arm 31 of link lever 30, or conversion means, by pin 35.
The shaft support 22 is formed in an elongated hole in the second embodiment as will be detailed later. When the operation of knob button 20 causes the rotation of link lever 30 about shaft support 33 (mounted to the shaft support 12 of base 10), pin 35, which is inserted in the shaft support 34 of an upper arm 31, moves in a shaft support hole 23 as indicated in FIG. 4.
Link lever 30 has an upper arm 31 and an operation arm 32 joined with each other, which are configured in L-shape. The crossing part has shaft support 33, which is interposed between the left and right shaft mounting parts 12 of base 10 and mounted by pin 16. Upper arm 31 has at its outer end an shaft support 34 connected by pin 35 with an elongated hole formed to the shaft support of knob button 20. The bottom face of operation arm 32 is to be brought in contact with a head 62 of compression rod 61. The operation of knob button 20 causes the smooth operation of compression rod 61 by means of link lever 30.
Grip 40 is constituted with a grip body 41, and a surface cover 42 covering the outer surface of grip body 41 (alternatively, it may be constituted with only a grip body 41). The front side faces of grip body 41 are largely made open. The opening 43 allows base 10 assembled with a mechanism M1 such as knob button 20 and link lever 30 to be inserted therein, thus achieving removable mounting.
Due to the mounting of base 10, the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, has a plurality of mounting parts 44 as a mounting means provided directly to the inner face of the rear of grip body 41. Mounting parts 44 each define a threaded hole, which is fastened with a screw 18 as a fastening means through a hole formed to mounting part 14 of base 10. The lower part of grip body 41 defines a lower opening 46 which communicates with opening 43. An insertion part 17 in the lower portion of base 10 is, in turn, inserted into lower opening 46 via opening 43.
A screw 18 fastens insertion part 17 of base 10 to the upper end of shift lever 60, being screwed into the threaded hole of shift lever 60 through the hole of insertion part 17.
Second Embodiment
Next, a shift knob structure of the shift lever of a transmission system according to the second embodiment will be explained. Any constitutions identical to that of the first embodiment are given the same character, and their explanation is omitted.
In the embodiment, the front and part of both side faces of grip 40, as shown in FIG. 2, are made largely open. Opening 43 has mounting parts 44 fixed separately therein for the attachment of base 10. Mounting parts 44 each include a cover locking part 48 for the locking of cover 50; and an upper mounting part 44 a and lower mounting part 44 b for mounting base 10. Upper mounting part 44 a is formed with mounting holes facing sideways, for base 10 to be screwed to grip body 41 from both the sides by screws 18 as a fastening means. In accordance with this, an upper mounting part 14 a also faces sideways.
The ends of leaf spring 24 as a biasing means are mounted to a spring holding part 19 in base 10 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and a spring holding part 25 at knob button 20, allowing the top of knob button 20 to be biased outwards.
As specifically explained, spring holding part 19 in base 10, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, includes a pair of L-shaped spring locking parts 19 a which project from the outer face of base 10 extend along the axis of the base; a projection 19 b which projects from the bottom face of the space between spring locking parts 19 a i.e. the surface of base 10 and extends along the axis of the base; bent parts 19 d which extend along insertion inner faces of locking parts 19 a respectively. Spring holding part 25 of knob button 20 has an identical structure. Leaf spring 24 is mounted spring holding part 19 of base 10 and to spring holding part 25 of the knob button by gentle pushing, thus allowing the upper portion of knob button 20 to be biased outwards.
In this embodiment, grip body 41 of grip 40 is formed by a frame being molded from a hard synthetic resin beforehand and the frame as a core then being insert molded using a soft synthetic resin. Thus, grip 40 becomes soft to touch, improving the drive experience. The outer surface of produced grip body 41 further has a leather surface cover 42, which completes grip 40.
In FIG. 4, a cut 63 in the upper end of shift lever 60 is employed for positioning and prevention of rotation of the knob upon insertion. Base 10 has a projection that engages with cut 63 in its insertion part 17.
In this embodiment, cover locking part 48 and mounting part 44 with upper and lower mounting parts 44 a and 44 b, being separately formed, are fixed within grip 40. In the cases where grip 40 is molded from a material with good formability such as a synthetic resin, the integral formation of these is preferable. However, in cases where molding from a material with a high molding cost such as aluminum or a wood occurs, the separate formation of cover locking part 48 and mounting part 44 are preferable to reduce in production costs.
Next, the embodiment that employs a rotation type of knob button will be explained. In addition, a sliding type of a knob button is also preferable embodiment.
As described above, knob button 20, biasing means 24 for biasing knob button 20 to project outwardly from opening 43 of grip 40, and conversion means 30 for converting the pushing operation of knob button 20 into the axial movement of the compression rod constitute mechanism M1 that is attached to assembly part 11 of base 10, the structure of which improves the mechanism M1 in assembly operability.
Knob button 20 located projecting from opening 43 of grip 40 and the inner surface of opening 43 define a space 47 therebetween. Within space 47, a fastening means of screw 18 of the embodiment fastens mounting part 14 of base 10 to the mounting means of grip body 41 in opening 43. Thereby, assembly ability and exchange operation of grip 40 are improved.
The location of knob button 20 projecting from opening 43 of grip 40 and provided with cover 50 to cover space 47 between knob button 20 and opening 43 of grip 40 reliably prevent any extraneous material from invading grip 40 or base 10 assembled with mechanism M1, and, on the other hand, keep the assembled parts from being visible from the outside, thus improving and beautifying the appearance.
In addition, composing grip body 41 of only a mounting part 44 for mounting base 10 and a cover locking part 48 simplifies its structure. Thus, manufacture is facilitated even when Aluminum or a wood in addition to a resin are used.
The independent and separate constitution of mounting part 44 for the mounting of base 10 further simplifies the structure of grip body 41, thus being preferable for the manufacturing process when using aluminum or wood.

It's been said many times - the TSB Bowl of Brooklands is the best outdoor venue in the country.
OPINION: Sunday night's Tropfest NZ event provided ample evidence of that and the Bowl was at its sun-drenched best as a crowd of 8000 watched 16 seven-minute films in the inaugural Kiwi festival (the year before had featured purely Australian efforts at the Bowl).
The quality of the 16 finalists showed through. Good ideas abounded, with several quirky takes on the specified item - a gumboot. Every film had to feature a gumboot, which resulted in Kiwi ingenuity at its creative best.
How fitting it was that a Taranaki entrant was the overall winner. New Plymouth team Touching Cloth and director Dave Smith took the award for best film for their musical Cappuccino Tango - a "coffee love story" shot at Ozone Coffee Roasters in New Plymouth.
While congratulations go to them, dare we suggest that the real winner on the night was the Bowl itself. Along with its conjoined twin, Pukekura Park, there are few Taranaki-ites who do not see them as the often-described "Jewel in the Crown" for the New Plymouth District.
The many volunteers whose efforts have made the parks into the natural wonderlands they are today would have been delighted at Sunday night's turnout, with literally hundreds of families spread out with their picnics, soaking up the atmosphere and the films.
In truth, the one ingredient needed to bring out the best of the Bowl, and the park, is people. The TSB Festival of Lights ensured many thousands of visitors over the last month. On Sunday night 8000 people came and stayed for hours, lifting the Bowl to another level.
Tropfest, with its creativity and arts influence, was the perfect conduit to complete the transformation. Much has been written and said in recent years about the lack of top international acts to perform there, which made Tropfest NZ's decision to hold the event at the Bowl again next year even more welcome.
Perhaps it is also worth acknowledging the wisdom of those who agreed to host Womad here on an annual basis. For more than three days the Bowl and the park are transformed into one of the largest, most diverse event venues in the world.
Despite some predicting that would detract from the economic viability of the event, quite the opposite has transpired and it continues to flourish. Best of all, it is only six weeks away.
If the days of the big names appearing at the Bowl are limited, there are still plenty of home-grown events which can ensure our Bowl of Brooklands continues to captivate new generations.
The last words belong to Tropfest creator John Polson, who opened the show by saying how pleased he was to have it at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands.
"It's the most beautiful [venue] that Tropfest plays in anywhere in the world. It's unbelievable. I could not be more excited about such a wonderful place to play these wonderful films."
Amen to that.
