Product Description
About the Author
Tom Baione, an active member of the Grolier Club, divides his time between Manhattan and Long Island, is the Harold Boeschenstein Director of Library Services of the Museum of Natural History's Library and oversees all aspects of the library's functions.
..".atruly stunning collection of rare prints covering a litany of topics. Whether readers choose to focus on the 40 prints just begging for frames that are included in the box or the often breathtaking images in the book itself, they'll quickly find themselves sucked into this fantastically assembled and informative work of natural and human history . . . armchair naturalists, archeologists, and anthropologists will have a field day with this lovingly curated collection. Remarkable for its editing as well as its breadth of scope (even the binding of Victorian natural history books is studied), this gem of a book is one of the best in its class. "Publishers Weekly" (Starred Review)..".this collection from the AMNH is sure to please. It presents rare essays and artwork about the natural sciences along with a selection of prints for display." "TIME" magazine Baione (dir., American Museum of Natural History Lib.) examines book illustrations found in the library of New York City's American Museum of Natural History. The volume also gathers 40 essays written by the museum's librarians, researchers, curators, and administrators. They discuss woodcuts, etchings, engravings, and lithographs from books published between the 16th and early 20th centuries on topics in the natural sciences. The book presents many full-page, color reproductions of illustrations of insects, sea animals, birds, and mammals, accompanied by historical descriptions. Also included is a 19th-century astronomical atlas and a collection of portraits of Native Americans. The museum has published many books that discuss its collections...Baione's is the first to focus on book illustrations. It is packaged with 40 frameable prints. VERDICT - Combining well-chosen reproductions and interesting essays, this book would be a great choice for readers of "National Geographic" and the like. "Library Journal"" . . . a beautiful boxed set that includes a softcover book of essays and illustrations and 40 loose plates housed in an illustrated clamshell box. The plates are frame-worthy copies of some of the illustrations used in the essay volume. The writing style is directed to a general reading audience, and is appropriate for undergraduates looking for introductory information. The short essays are informative and excite interest in further study. "Choice""

Overall a great buy
Highly recommended.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
For the most part botanical illustration is neglected, but the zoological and astronomical parts of natural history illustration are magnificently reproduced. Each of the 40 prints, included separate from the book, would serve as a neat framed example of the art. For the price this is a wonderful introduction to the work of numerous researchers and compilers of knowledge and a great review of the development of natural history illustration. I recommend it without reservation.
The enclosed book is 176 pages and has over two hundred illustrations and has essays from such notables as Neil deGrasse Tyson. The scope and variety of selected books is impressive, and the subjects vary from every kind of flora and fauna to stories about people and places. And more.
Highly recommended. I would've thought I would've had to pay way more than this to get something of this quality. It's that nice.
Ifyou love natural history, and by the way, natural history art like me, then don't think twice and buy this book.

King Bed Room
The main area with the bed was nice. The bed itself was extremely comfortable! As I have a bad back, this is very important. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired. I am 6 feet tall and I had to duck under the shower head and I could see over the shower curtain completely! The main area was clean….the bathroom not so much.

Favorite hotel in Medicine Hat
Usually quiet with comfortable beds, giving us a good night sleep when travelling. We stay at the Coast Hotel whenever we travel through Medicine Hat as it is budget friendly with clean rooms and a friendly staff, and close to shopping malls and a variety of restaurants.
- Heather W
Convenient and clean
This is an older hotel but rooms have some updates. Our ground-floor room was clean and comfortable; dark yellow and blue paint made an already small room seem smaller. Breakfast was very good — the usual breads and pastries were augmented by yogurt, fresh fruit salad. Waffles were on offer too — pre-mixed batter was all ready to pour into the waffle iron for a fresh-made treat. Breakfast area is bright and inviting with window seating. Hotel could use a welcome sign or some indication of where the front door actually is; the windows to the lobby are tinted and it is not obvious that this is the entrance.
- Expially D
Family / business Trip
Our room was super tiny, but nice. The hotels in the city were full, because of the winter games, so we were grateful to get a room. We managed to squeeze two cots in for our boys, because it was only a one-bed room. The hotel staff were friendly. I really liked the second floor breakfast room; lots of windows and a great place to relax and eat.
- Rolynnie
Honey Bees in the Hat
Lovely, newly renovated. Rooms large with table and chairs for entertaining if we chose. Front desk and staff were extremely accommodating. The front entrance was very inviting and so was the breakfast area. Very close to shopping, restaurants, liquor store etc.

TOKYO Ford Motor Co (F.N) plans to sell down its 11 percent stake in Mazda Motor Corp (7261.T) to a few percent as it distances itself from the Japanese automaker, a source with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.
Trading house Sumitomo Corp (8053.T) and other Japanese business partners of Mazda are in talks to buy the shares set to be sold by Ford, and final decision on the sale is likely to be made by the end of the year, the source said.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been made public. The Nikkei newspaper first reported on the likely stake sale by Ford earlier on Saturday.

Good 3.2 /5 from 145 reviews
The room was not comfortable and staff not friendly
It was a good stay! Rooms were a bit small
It was good stay. The reception was great and supportive.
My stay was for six days. I've stayed here twice before, which is why I chose it. This is as basic as you get. I didn't go to Paris just to stay in my room. It's clean room, decent bed and functional (way too small shower) bathroom. The TV didn't work but I suspect that I'd have to pay for it. There's free Internet but you have to search. The hotel has instructions in the small elevator but it seems to be outdated. There's friendly and helpful 24 hour desk staff who understands enough English to give accurate directions. The room is cleaned daily although towels are sometimes left unchanged. Again, no big deal because at home I don't change mine daily either. The location is in a clean, quiet working class neighborhood close to the Pernety metro stop. There's a small, very late night store where you can buy fresh fruit, snacks, alcohol and basic food around the corner from the hotel and along the way from the metro stop. Remember that this is a two star hotel. I would stay here again.
Rather spacious room and bath by Paris standard. But could hear clearly what the next door was doing. Old carpet and chairs.

Past life for Ussr born Mar 14, 1949
I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a male in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Burma approximately on 1825. Your profession was artist, magician, and fortune teller.

餐廳在Spoleto 一點難找這家餐廳從最有名廣場往左轉,最好吃松露義大利麵(strangozzi al tartufo)和甜點在spoleto很傳統。服務好,價錢好。the location of the restaurant is from the square of spoleto after the fountain with the clock turn left.
Stumbled on to the bit out of the way restaurant. Ordered from their menu of the day. Zuppo di farro was a really rich vegetable soup. Strangozzi alla Spoletina con asparagi was great pasta with just a hint of spice. Don't normally get a Secondi course but the grilled lamb chops was excellent. Shared the courses with my wife and... 更多
We found the restaurant La Barcaccia this summer, during our visit to Spoleto. The ambience was most pleasant in this owner run restaurant. The staff were friendly and attentive and as lovers of Italian cuisine we found the food to be delicious. As we got to know the owner, following several visits, we were fed by suggestions from the kitchen,... 更多
Sunday lunch on a wet day. We were Well received and looked after. Local food, a bit small on the proportions, but hot pastas and grilled main courses. The skewered mets taste disappointing.
We got two recommendations for restaurants in Spoleto, La Barcaccia was one of them. The location is fantastic, just behind the fountain in the central piazza. However the view is limited to the smaller hidden piazza, which is quiet, and not much happens there. The owner sat with us and we had a very nice chat. Follow is recommendation for... 更多
I have eaten here countless times now, it is by far the most enjoyable meal to be had in Spoleto. It is traditional and often rustic food, very fresh and delicious. The wine list is exceptional too.

We enjoyed eating at a local restaurant recommended by our hotel. Service was great and soup, grilled veggies and bread all wonderful.
If you enjoy Spoleto festival, typical food and great host, you will love this pearl. Hidden just behind the fountain, great service by the very approachable and honest Luciano. All coming from his suggestions, he can definitely satisfy your demands. Great bruschette, fried zucchini flowers and tagliata. Dessert could be better, just because the typical creescionda had run out

Yes my venture might be unsustainable.
Yes the industry is heavily saturated.
Yes it could be unrealistic.
My journey into entrepreneurship has been anything but easy. Overnight I somehow found myself filling the shoes of web developer, designer, social media expert, photographer, accountant and research and developer.
Albeit I might not be changing the world with cupcakes and cookies, but I care about my business and brand. It matters to me the way even the very few customers I have knocking on my online door are treated. Every click, message, like, comma, period, and exclamation point is a reflection of who we are as a business. No matter how small we may be in the industry, there is thought and planning that goes into every minute piece.
I plan in my sleep. I plan on my walk to the kitchen. I plan in the shower. I plan while driving. I plan at the gym. Every spare moment is a moment to think about how to grow, improve and be better.
I am chasing after a passion.
One I realize other people don't always understand and possibly criticize more than praise. One I know everyone watching has an opinion about that isn't always in favour of support or success. I want to give up on so many days. The days where even with all the careful pre-planning and forecasting, I still don't seem to find enough hours in the day, or hands to perfect my work.
Moments where I know I didn't perform my best.
Deadlines that cause sleepless nights, increased cortisol levels, and grey hair.
Stress grows from every inch of my body. I stumble and fumble, trying to learn every piece and become a Jane of all trades.
I am terrified 90 percent of the time about whether my product will please my client.
Whether the results of my last marketing initiative—that almost killed me, and put a dent in my savings—will even lead to anything promising.
There is a pressure I can't always explain, and a fear that even if I try to I'll be misunderstood or ridiculed by my listener.
So I hold it all together and slap a smile on my face. I tell the world I have it under control. I celebrate my small wins like they are the biggest wins, and constantly find ways to keep my audience and myself afloat even when the going gets tough.
I cry heavily in solitude on bad days. Not because I am weak, but because I care so much it feels like every slight fall is an attack or threat to the livelihood of a business I took a chance on. A pursuit I know that even with the best of intentions, investment and interest could entirely tank.
Getting used to the criticism is like consciously allowing a tsunami to attack your ego; it is painful and helpful all at once.
But I sing my mantra to myself:
No, it's not perfect.
No, I don't know if it will ever prosper.
No, I will not stop believing in it.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation apparatus and system for an internal combustion engine which has an air intake system and an exhaust system. Exhaust gas is introduced to fresh air in the air intake via an exhaust-gas recirculation line and an exhaust-gas recirculation valve.
2. Description of Related Art
Exhaust gas recirculation apparatus and systems for an internal combustion engines are known. It is also known that part-load engine operation produces cooling of the exhaust gases and the recirculation valve in previous systems. During part-load operation under particular temperatures, a lacquer-like coating can form on the exhaust gas recirculation valve which could inhibit its operation.
The primary object of the invention is to design and configure the exhaust gas recirculation system so that formation of lacquer-like substances are prevented from forming on the recirculation valve or valve seat.
According to the invention, the object of preventing formation of a lacquer-like substance is achieved by arranging the exhaust gas recirculation valve so as not to be exposed to air intake flow. This tends to prevent cooling of the recirculation valve by contact with the flow of fresh air. As a result, the recirculation valve does not come into contact with crankcase oil entrained in the flow of intake air. The exhaust-gas recirculation valve may be located at any desired point between the cylinder head and exhaust-gas supply device. By separating the exhaust gas recirculation valve from crankcase ventilation oil entrained in the intake air prevents clogging of the valve caused by formation of a soot/oil mixture on the valve and valve seat.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the exhaust gas recirculation valve includes an actuator and the actuator in the recirculation valve is operated electromechanically. The electromechanical actuator is seated directly on the exhaust-gas recirculation valve and is activated via the engine cable harness.
It is particularly important for the present invention that the exhaust-gas recirculation valve is operatively connected to the cooling means or coolant flow in the engine's cylinder head. As a result, if required as it is in the full-load operational engine mode, the exhaust gas can be cooled which also cools the recirculation valve. Consequently, the electromechanical actuator of the recirculation valve is protected from excessive temperatures.
In connection with the design and arrangement according to the invention, it is advantageous that the exhaust-gas recirculation valve and the exhaust-gas supply means are arranged on the cooler side. of the cylinder head as determined by the coolant flow through the engine.
It is advantageous, furthermore, if the exhaust gas recirculation line has a portion integrated with the cylinder head and an external portion.
It is also advantageous, if the engine exhaust gas system and the exhaust gas recirculation valve are operatively connected via an integrated exhaust-gas recirculation passage. The integrated exhaust-gas recirculation passage is designed as a part of the cylinder head. The exhaust gas line transfers heat through its wall to the cylinder head and/or to coolant in the cylinder head.
However, it is also possible for the exhaust-gas recirculation valve and exhaust-gas supply means to be operatively connected via an external exhaust-gas recirculation line. The external exhaust-gas recirculation line is preferably designed as a combination pipe including an exhaust-gas passage and a cooling-water passage. The cooling-water passage is in communication with the cooling-water circuit of the cylinder head via the exhaust-gas recirculation valve. The distance between the exhaust-gas recirculation valve and the cylinder head and the associated exhaust-gas temperature may be varied.
In a further refinement of the invention, the inflow orifice for fresh air is connected to the charge-air line, the inflow orifice for exhaust gas is connected to the external exhaust-gas recirculation line, the outflow orifice for fresh air to the charge-air distributor and the outflow orifices for exhaust gas likewise are connected to the charge-air distributor. The exhaust-gas stream is thus mixed with the fresh-air stream. After the exhaust gas flows is introduced centrally into the fresh-air stream, the process of mixing the two gas streams commences. During this time, no appreciable soot/oil deposits occur in the region of the exhaust-gas supply means, and clogging is prevented.
In connection with the arrangement according to the invention, it is advantageous that the exhaust-gas recirculation valve is provided directly upstream of the exhaust-gas supply means, as seen in the direction of flow. The exhaust-gas recirculation valve and exhaust-gas supply means are arranged functionally in one housing and being flow-connected via the inflow orifice for exhaust gas. The functional separation of exhaust-gas recirculation valve and exhaust-gas supply means ensures that the exhaust-gas recirculation valve does not have the fresh-air stream flowing around it and therefore is not cooled by the air.
Further advantages and details of the invention are explained in the description of an embodiment which is illustrated in the drawing figures, as follows:
FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of the air intake and exhaust outlet assemblies for an internal combustion engine; and
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic and planar illustration of the engine and associated intake, exhaust, and exhaust gas recirculation systems according to FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an elevational and sectioned view of an integrated exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly and an exhaust-gas supply assembly as taken along section line B—B in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 4 is an elevational and sectioned view of the integrated exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly and exhaust-gas supply assembly as taken along section line A—A in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing the flow through the integrated exhaust gas recirculation valve and the exhaust gas supply assembly.
FIG. 1 shows an air inlet or intake assembly 1 for an internal combustion engine. The air intake assembly 1 is adapted to be supported by an engine cylinder head. The air intake assembly 1 has an air-charge manifold forming portion 2 positioned to direct air flow into individual cylinders of the engine. The assembly 1 also includes a charge-air distribution portion 7 upstream of the outlet forming portion 2 for receiving air from an elongated charge-air supply assembly 8.
The intake assembly 1 and particularly the manifold forming portion 2 and distribution portion 7 are associated with an exhaust-gas recirculation system 5 for the purpose of directing controlled quantities of exhaust gas into the engine's combustion chambers along with the air flow provided by the intake system 1 during selected operational modes of the engine for limiting the combustion temperature.
An air filter assembly 13 is located upstream of the elongated charge-air supply assembly 8. The outlet of the air filter assembly 13 is fluidly connected to an inlet of a supercharger device 15. In FIG. 1, the supercharger 15 is of the type commonly known as a turbocharger because the motive power to pressurise and pump air is provided by engine exhaust energy. The supercharger of turbocharger 15 has an air compressor portion and an exhaust gas turbine portion which are interconnected for rotation together. Air is fed from the air filter 13 to the inlet of the compressor portion of the supercharger. Pressurized and heated air is then discharged into the inlet end portion of the charge-air line 8. The charge-air line 8 extends from the supercharger to the engine's air intake assembly 1 and has a charge-air cooler 6 which transfers heat from the supercharger's pressurized air to the atmosphere.
FIG. 1 also shows portions of the engine's gas exhaust system which includes the gas turbine portion of the supercharger and a catalytic converter 14. The exhaust system then includes a tubular section 16 extending from the catalytic converter's outlet to a sound muffling system (not shown).
Between the air-charge line 8 and the charge-air manifold 7 is an exhaust gas introduction or supply device 10. The exhaust gas supply device 10 is connected via an external conduit part 4′ to an exhaust-gas recirculation control valve 9. The recirculation control valve 9 is itself connected to the exhaust system of the engine via a fluid conducting means 4 best understood by looking to FIG. 2. Functionally, exhaust gas is introduced or supplied through device 10 to the intake air for the engine which flows to individual cylinders through inlet duct openings 17.
Fresh air is drawn in through the air filter assembly 13 and is pressurised by the compressor portion of the supercharger 15. The compressor portion of the supercharger 15 is driven by the energy of the outflowing exhaust gases which are discharged from the combustion chambers of the engine to the turbine portion of the supercharger.
The process of pressurizing the air also heats it. The heated air is then cooled by the charge-air cooler 6 before passing into the charge-air manifold 7. The exhaust gas supply device 10 introduces a controlled quantity of exhaust gas under control of the recirculation valve 9 to the fresh air passing through the intake assembly 1. The exhaust gas is mixed with the compressed air downstream of the recirculation valve 9.
The exhaust gas recirculation valve 9 regulates the quantity of exhaust gas entering the air intake system 1 and its operation is controlled by an actuator device 11 which is best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4. As a result, a quantity of exhaust gas is introduced to the fresh air so that a homogeneous fresh-air/exhaust gas mixture is obtained in the charge-air manifold 7. This homogeneous fresh air/exhaust gas mixture is supplied via the individual inlet ducts 17 to cylinders 18 of the engine as seen in FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 shows the integrated exhaust gas conducting part or portion 4 of the exhaust-gas recirculation line which passes through the engine's cylinder head. Part 4 extends from the engine's exhaust system to the inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation valve 9. During passage through the cylinder head 3, the exhaust gas discharges heat to coolant in the cylinder head.
The exhaust gas conducting portion can include an arrangement using two passages 27, 28, as shown in FIG. 1 wherein the passage 28 connects to the cooling water circuit of the cylinder head and the passage 27 serves as part of the exhaust-gas recirculation line. A further valve, not illustrated, can be provided for regulating the flow of cooling water for this portion of the exhaust gas recirculation system. By this means, a desired regulation of the exhaust gas temperature can be achieved.
In FIG. 2, the flow arrangement between the exhaust gas recirculation valve 9 and exhaust-gas supply device 10 is diagrammatically shown in conjunction with the engine's air inlet assembly. It is advantageous that the exhaust-gas recirculation valve 9 and exhaust-gas supply means 10 are separated so that the recirculation valve is not exposed to flow of intake air. It is possible to both position the recirculation valve 9 at an end of the recirculation line's external part 4′ and to have the recirculation valve and exhaust gas supply means 10 in a common enclosure or housing. By this, the recirculation valve 9 is still exposed only to the exhaust gas stream and not cooled by the fresh air stream.
The recirculation valve 9 is preferably positioned adjacent to a cooler end of the cylinder head 3 and is supplied with exhaust gas via the integrated part 4 of the exhaust-gas recirculation line. The exhaust-gas supply device 10 is located upstream of the charge-air distributor 7 and is furnished with exhaust gas from the recirculation valve 9 via external part 4′.
As previously explained, the exhaust-gas recirculation line's internal part 4 can be operatively associated with the engine's cooling-water circuit. Thereby, the operating temperature of the exhaust gas passing to the recirculation valve 9 can be regulated or controlled. This control provides a protection against overheating and/or overcooling which tends to generate formation of a lacquer-like substance on part of the exhaust-gas recirculation valve 9.
FIGS. 3 and 4 are each sectional views of the exhaust-gas recirculation valve 9 including an integrated exhaust-gas supply assembly 10. The recirculation valve 9 includes a radially enlarged valve body 23, a valve actuating shaft 24, a valve actuating mechanism 25, and an actuator in the form of an electrically powered servomotor 26. The members 23, 24, and 25 are arranged coaxially with respect to axis 29.
The valve actuating shaft 24 and valve body 23 are moved vertically between fully closed and opened operative positions by rotation of servomotor 26. Servomotor 26 in turn rotates the actuating member 25 which is configured to function as a cam member. In this embodiment, the valve body 23 is self-locking in both end positions. This means that in the closed position or mode, the prevailing exhaust gas pressure tends to maintains the valve in the closed position. In the opened position or mode, the cam arrangement tends to prevent imposition of force on the servomotor 26.
In FIG. 4, it can be seen that fresh air enters the exhaust gas supply device 10 from the left through an inlet 19. Exhaust gas enters the exhaust gas supply device 10 from the bottom through an inlet 20. The exhaust gas then flows through a valved outflow orifice assembly 22 including an exhaust gas conduit having axis 30. The exhaust begins to mix with the flow of fresh air downstream of valve 23 as they exit outlets 21, 22 respectively as the flow enters the charge-air manifold 7.
FIG. 5 illustrates an integrated assembly with a housing 31 enclosing the exhaust gas recirculation valve 9 and the gas supply device 10. The housing 31 includes an internal wall 32 separating the portion of the housing enclosing the exhaust gas recirculation valve 9 and the portion of the housing enclosing the supply device 10 which provides for flow of fresh air. As a result, the recirculation valve 23 is not cooled by a flow of fresh air. This inhibits formation of lacquer-like substances on the valve and valve seat. The exhaust gas enters the housing enclosure 31 via the inlet orifice 20 in the separating wall 32. Fresh air enters the housing enclosure 31 via the inlet orifice 19 shown in FIG. 4. The resultant mixture of air and exhaust gas flows separately into the charge-air distributor via the outlet orifices 21 and 22.

THE Labor Right moved last night to bind its members to support a conscience vote on gay marriage in an attempt to spare Julia Gillard a humiliating policy defeat at the ALP national conference this weekend.
But while the NSW Right is expected to stick to the resolution passed during crisis meetings, the faction nationally is divided and breakaways are still expected in other states.

ALP conference to be a sparky affair
Tim Lester speaks to Phil Coorey on the topics that will be raised in this weekend's ALP national conference.
The Australian Workers Union has also bound its 32 delegates - of which four are left wing - to support Ms Gillard's position of changing the policy position to a conscience vote, rather than one of outright support, which is being pushed by the Left.
While yesterday's frenetic actions should be enough to deliver the Prime Minister a narrow victory, there was little chance last night of stopping changes to Labor's policy platform being driven by the Left. That change would accord equal status to gay couples under the Marriage Act.
Right sources warned that if the Right tried to bind its members to oppose platform changes, the faction could explode.
After giving the green light for a full-blown debate at the conference, Ms Gillard will launch the three-day, triennial event this morning.
Her speech will set Labor's themes for next year as jobs, growth and fairness.
To contrast the government against the opposition's reputation for negativity, Ms Gillard will labour the theme of optimism in the new year and frequently use the word ''yes''.
''Labor says 'yes' to Australia's future,'' she will say.
Ms Gillard, whose leadership is still shaky, cannot afford any defeats at the conference.
Her call to allow uranium exports to India should be endorsed on Sunday with the support of the Right, which holds about 55 per cent of the conference vote. There will be notable defectors, such as the Minister for Communications, Stephen Conroy.
The Left will oppose a push by the Minister for Immigration, Chris Bowen, to increase Australia's refugee intake to 20,000 as a trade-off for the platform endorsing offshore processing and keeping the Malaysia plan alive.
Battle lines drawn over same sex marriage
The gay marriage issue is set to dominate the Labor Party national conference.
The Left wants to amend the platform to unambiguously endorse onshore processing but it does not have the numbers.
Gay marriage is the most volatile issue and Ms Gillard must achieve a conscience vote.
The Left is pushing for outright support and has almost secured the 20 defectors needed from the Right to achieve a majority among the 400 delegates.
Despite the Right's binding vote, a bloc of 12 delegates from the Victorian branch of the National Union of Workers is expected to split, along with the ACT Deputy Chief Minister, Andrew Barr, and possibly others.
Sources said the Prime Minister's position was ahead by about 10 votes.
''It's still going to be pretty close,'' said one.
But the Left is set for a victory on changing the platform wording with significant backing from the Right. A word change to be moved by Mr Barr and seconded by the Minister for Finance, Penny Wong, was on track to be endorsed.
The Right was still hopelessly split and there will be more meetings today to try to find a more neutral form of words.
Yesterday the Australian Christian Lobby and the Australian Family Association presented a petition of 90,000 signatures to right-wing delegates opposed to same-sex marriage.
Today the groups GetUp and Australian Marriage Equality will present a 132,000-signature petition supporting gay marriage.

Sony's cost-cutting unlikely to affect games division
Sony has announced plans to cut its costs by around £2 billion by March 2010, following estimations that it is set to lose around £1.22 billion for the financial year ending March 2009.
However, unlike Microsoft, Sony has said that its cost cutting measures are least likely to affect its games departments.
It seems the electronics division of the company is to be the worst hit, with the closure of a manufacturing plant in Japan, and a 30% reduction in staff in its TV design operations.
Despite a slide in Sony's corporate presentation this morning suggesting that the games division would see cuts, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves has reassured his staff the cost-cutting measures will not see a reduction in games staff, something he also stressed last month.
"This is still the case. He has just sent a message to employees here to that effect", said a spokesperson for Sony.
"As was the case with the previous Sony restructuring announcement this mainly concerns our electronics business".
Despite this, the company's games division is still expected to see losses of around £245 million. Sony has put this down to both lower than expected sales and adverse currency fluctuations.

The recent developments at General Synod, the highest assembly of our denomination in the United States and Canada, have startled many. At first glance, the bone of contention is Resolution R16-16. If adopted by 2/3 of our Classes, it would bring a change to our Book of Church Order. The change would hold consistories responsible that their pastors do not officiate at same-sex weddings.
At second glance, the proposition entails even more: Binding consistories in this way is a severe change in Reformed Church polity, because it limits the authority of consistories in an area where there used to be freedom. This is part of an increasing centralization that goes through our denomination.
But there is more. The General Synod debate on the issue made clear that a majority of delegates had little hermeneutical awareness in terms of understanding the Bible. Warnings and concerns raised from both our seminaries were disregarded and replaced by the simplistic concept that God's Word in any Bible passage means the same in all periods of time. Starting with the oldest texts of the Bible, the wrong assumption would be that a text like the story of Sodom and Gomorra with roots in the late Bronze Age was understood then the same as we understand it now – only that none of us can really know what it means to belong to a bronze-age culture, because we live now and not back then.

KODAK, TENN. (APRIL 17, 2014) - The Jackson Generals (9-6) took the first-of-two games against the Tennessee Smokies (7-8) in their first doubleheader of the 2014 season Thursday at Smokies Park. Jackson won 4-0 in Game 1 and fell 3-2 in Game 2.
RHP Stephen Landazuri (2-1) led the Generals with a nine-strikeout performance that saw him allow just one hit and one walk in six innings of a seven-inning shutout.
Jackson loaded the bases with two-outs in the fourth leading up to an RBI walk by John Hicks (0-2, RBI, BB) that scored Kevin Rivers (0-2, 2 BBs, R). Tennessee starter Corey Black (0-1) hit Jack Marder (0-1, BB, RBI) and Jamal Austin (1-2, RBI, BB) on the next two at-bats, giving the Generals a 3-0 lead.
Jabari Blash (1-3, RBI, R, BB) provided the final blow with his third home run of the season in the fifth. Blash leads the Southern League with 13 RBIs and is second to Tennessee's Dustin Geiger (4) in home runs.
W- Stephen Landazuri: 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 SO, 0 HR, 1.00 ERA
L- Corey Black: 4.0 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR, 4.09 ERA
In game two, the Generals jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Austin (2-4, R) scored in the first on a sac fly by Blash (0-2, RBI, BB) and Mickey Wiswall (1-4, RBI) doubled to score Marte (3-4, R) in the third.
Marte currently has five multi-hit games this season and leads the Southern League with a .389 batting average.
But the Smokies quickly grabbed momentum as John Andreoli scored on a sac fly by Jae-Hoon Ha in the bottom of the third. Jeudy Valdez added an RBI double in the fourth to score Charles Cutler and tie the game at 2-2.
Taylor Davis connected on an RBI single in the next at-bat to score Jeudy Valdez, giving the Smokies a 3-2 advantage.
Dae-Eun Rhee (1-1) earned his first win after allowing two runs on six hits in four full innings. Hunter Cervenka earned a hold for his two scoreless-inning performance before Armando Rivero (3) recorded the save in the ninth.
W- Hunter Cervenka (1-0): 2.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR, 0.00 ERA

Why didn't you include a prompt to request permissions? Some have remarked that this app won't read their PDFs. It's probably because the app doesn't have read permission for your storage. Oddly enough, the app never asks for it???? You have to go into android apps and give it permission manually. That's major because most people will never even bother to figure out why its not working. They'll just say "Broke" and move on to the next app. As for the rest of the app. I do like the minimalism of it. It's not very fancy, but you can make some very granular changes to how it renders PDFs which is cool. One of my biggest gripes with reading a PDF is the slow rendering. This handles large PDF and can render them fast.
Cuánta dedicación! Yo tenía esta app en mi viejo celular symbian y me anduvo siempre perfecto y rápido. Hoy en día, estando en android sigue siendo lo mejor. Excelente app.
App does not even open any pdf document. Crashes.
Works good. But, fix please bug when you change scale, screen become black and jump to another page.
Useless, won't read the file tree or open a file
Best pdf reader This is what I need, I always use it.

100 Creatives 2012: Wade Wilson
Courtesy of Wade Wilson Art
What He Does: You might not know the term "concrete painting." It's a style that eliminates all representation and focuses solely on the color and form of the surface. (Think Joseph Marioni or Jill Moser.) It's also the style that captured the imagination of former art critic and art history professor Wade Wilson, prompting him to launch Wade Wilson Art gallery in the Montrose area. The gallery has done very well over the last six years; 15 of the original artists now have work in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Wilson says part of his role as gallery owner is to insure that collectors feel as if they are buying not only something they like, but something that has real meaning. "I want people to know they're buying art that's more than a footnote; this is art by someone who has work in museums, someone whose legacy will be lasting.
"They want to know what they're buying has lasting quality, otherwise they would just go to the Galleria and buy a poster," he laughs.
Why He Likes It: Besides being surrounded by beautiful art, Wilson is also surrounded by interesting people doing fascinating things. "I get to work with some of the most creative minds in the country," he says. "There's a magic that happens when it all comes together. Art can open your eyes to see the world in a broader, better way. There's nothing more exciting than that."

What Inspires Him: His commitment to the gallery got tested in 2011's failing economy. He thought about walking away and doing something else, but couldn't. "My heart would be empty without it. When you're young you can change careers and think nothing of it. But when you're older, you realize getting to do what you love isn't as easy as you might think."
If Not Here, Then Where: Wilson doesn't hesitate when he tells us if he had to leave Houston, he'd head to Santa Fe, where he already shares a house with his best friend and wife.
If Not This, Then What: He's done lots of different jobs during his work life, but the only one that might tempt Wilson away from the art world at this point is the ministry. In a way he already does that. "I worked for Habitat for Humanity for three years. Now I preach the gospel of Habitat every Sunday at three or four different churches, which is where they do their fundraising. I think there's something about knowing that you're going to leave the world better than when you started; even though you have to put your heart on the line, it's a pretty good feeling."
Wade Wilson Art is located at 4411 Montrose. For information, visit www.wadewilsonart.com or call 713-521-2977.
