NLP Discussion Chat Transcripts Index (from IRC)
Welcome to the NLP IRC Chat Seminar Transcripts archive. This rich library of transcripts of NLP events held on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) from 1997-2001... is in transition. Some of these chats have already been removed from this archive, and others may yet be removed.
With those chats that we still find relevant and useful to our customer base, Jonathan's contributions to these chats are being rewritten and augmented into new blog entries. This process has already begun (July 2014). If a chat link still appears below in the index, its key content has not yet been published as a blog entry.

Jonathan Altfeld has done a first-class job of clarifying what makes a successful metaphor, and how to generate as many as you need. This CD set has given me a much better conscious understanding of how to use metaphor, and has changed the I way I teach metaphor use on my NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner courses. Also, to my knowledge, this material is more advanced than anything else available on metaphor construction.http://www.coachingleaders.co.uk/2009

From my perspective, context and meaning are, if not everything, a very big slice of the cake. Jonathan Altfeld's 'Knowledge Engineering' has provided me with the tools and understanding to create contextual maps of any problem, with cause, effect AND meaning. This approach is very powerful, and allowed me to create breakthrough strategies immediately, with clarity and certainty of purpose. Beyond this, Jonathan is exceptionally wise and articulate about NLP and how to use it to effect meaningful, lasting change. He is also very approachable and generous, and a pleasure to work with.1997

I have a heavy background in NLP and sales persuasion and I haven't seen Chris' material anywhere else. I think that the people who already have an NLP background will benefit the most from his tapes; because you can use everything you already know and combine it with his [higher-level] strategies. Chris's teaching style reminds me of Richard Bandler's in the way that he uses countless stories to make points and get you to think outside the box. I think his entire plan was just to get you to shift your awareness and start thinking differently. My biggest epiphany came when Chris went into tremendous detail about perceptual characters and how to install custom criteria. After watching the videos, it finally clicked in my head and I truly feel it is one of the most useful principles I have ever learned. ESPECIALLY in the area of personal relationships. Light bulbs have been going off in my head for the last couple days now over this stuff. The Persuasion summit videos are about installing a framework so you can generate your own techniques in whatever context you need to. If you're willing to invest some time, this can easily be one of the best investments you will ever make. You can use his system in conjunction with any `techniques" you are using now. Like I said before, I think people with a strong NLP background will benefit the most from these tapes, because they are already used to installing new tools in their subconscious to obtain unconscious competency, among other reasons.2003

On the 2 occasions that you have coached me, I have experienced what I assumed to be metaphor sessions. I'm not totally conscious of the process or content of the sessions, yet the results I have had from both sessions are as follows: Session 1 - desired outcome - "get some focus and direction for moving forward given that I'd achieved a lot of what I set out to. What's next?". Whatever you did, my business increased by over 30% in revenues following the session. My focus changed, and I implemented the "Donna the Diva" project, which has resulted in my getting my mojo back, and being way more confident in my skin and clear about what I'm good at. This has also resulted in my "sacking" 2 clients that didn't fit my vision for myself, and for PEP. Again, I'm not sure that I'm consciously aware of what I was doing differently - all I know is that a shift happened, and the result was useful (to say the least). Session 2 - desired outcome - "I'm earning more money than I ever had, and I am swimming in debt - help?! ". Again, I know we talked about a bunch of strategies and I'm clear they also were metaphors. I think our session was about 8 weeks ago? Well, since then - I have cleared all my creditors, and have over $25K in a personal bank account (something that has NEVER happened before). Steve and I are currently shopping for property, and I'm no longer afraid to answer the phone for fear of speaking to a creditor. The physical manifestation of this is that I used to have a folder that was nearly 1.5 inches thick full of bills and accounts. It is currently about an eighth of an inch thick - and these are all less than 30 days. So - that's a pretty literal description of my results of working with you, and I am most grateful to you, and look forward to further coaching. I am happy for you to use any of the above. None of it is a secret - I tell anyone who cares to listen about the results I get following your sessions.http://www.peoplewithpep.com.au/2007

Jonathan, I absolutely loved spending the weekend training with you in DC. As a Licensed Master Practitioner, I was delighted to find myself learning new ways to further refine my skills and discovering new parts of my brain. That fingertip exercise you demonstrated--the one that increases interhemispherical communication in the brain--I use it daily and am impressed with the results. And I'm noticing that I have an even greater ability with language patterns. My favorite part of the weekend, though, was watching the personal transformations made by other members of the class, specifically the skeptics. These folks went from "show me" to "show me more!" in an incredibly short period of time. You've helped them begin the process of dramatically improving their lives, and it was an honor to observe and take part in it. Thanks, too, for spending extra time with the class... running longer than scheduled so you could share "just one more cool thing" with us, even having meals with us "out in the real world." We all got much more than we paid for. I'm very glad I trained with you and Mastery InSight, and I'll very likely do so again in the future. Thanks again.http://nlphilia.net/1998

I learned loads and increased my confidence in my own voice massively. The course kicked off with an opportunity for everyone to speak to the group and we got immediate feedback on our vocal strengths and areas for improvement. The feedback was insightful and effective - even at this very early stage of the course, we were all achieving quite serious improvements. A key aspect of Jonathan's approach is the use of real-time feedback and he uses several tools to do this. The theory is that normally you don't actually hear your own voice quite as other people do - the sound changes as it travels through the bones and tissues of your own head! By using feedback, you hear a more accurate version of your own voice, as other people hear it, and you can make adjustments on the fly in response to it. This worked for me. Although I'd previously done voice work, this was the first time I'd used this approach. I found I could focus on the actual sound of my voice, as I spoke. I sounded better which increased my confidence, helping me slow down my usual rush to get finished. Overall I found the course great fun, I learnt loads and the time passed in a flash. I particularly appreciated the lighter hearted sections at the end of the day's training where Jonathan demonstrated his voice impersonation skills. Ranging from Stallone and Arnie, through to Marge Simpson, we were all encouraged to join in and explore the range of our own voices. Fun and with a very serious purpose: each accent we practiced exercised particular parameters of our voice. Because I attended the beginning and end of the course, I missed out a big chunk in the middle including any gradual improvements the other attendees were making in their voice. So for me, on my return on the final day, I noticed quite dramatic improvements compared with the initial session. Straw polls frequently show that many people lack confidence in their voice. If you consider your voice to be one of your key assets, Finding Your Irresistible Voice is a valuable and effective learning experience, where you could expect to make fantastic improvements, in a fun and supportive environment, that boosts your confidence.2006

Cong, BJP should stop politicising Uttarakhand disaster: SP
Kolkata: The Samajwadi Party on Monday accused both the Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party of politicising the Uttarakhand flood tragedy.
SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav alleged that the UPA government was deliberately not granting the national disaster status to the calamity that struck Uttarakhand because it was averse to taking the entire responsibility of the relief work.
"The Congress and the BJP should stop doing politics over Uttarkhand disaster. So many people have died, hundreds are yet to be found and these two political parties are trying to score brownie points over each other," Yadav said while talking to reporters here.
Yadav accused Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for initiating politics over the disaster, which was followed by the Congress. Later on, Rahul Gandhi too did petty politics over the issue, he said.
"We feel that the VIPs should now stop visiting Uttarakhand as it will hamper relief work," Yadav said.
Yadav pointed out that the SP-led Uttar Pradesh government donated crores of rupees towards relief work in Uttarakhand, but never tried to do politics over it.
On granting `national disaster` status to the tragedy, he said, "The Union home minister is debating over the point in according a national disaster status when the Central government is already participating in the relief work."
"But any knowledgeable person would know that granting a national disaster status means all responsibility lies with the Centre, which should have been the case in this scenario. But it is trying to avoid its responsibility," Yadav claimed.

Passing out after a run, like the French president, isn't uncommon
Thursday July 30, 2009
Irene Maher
St Petersburg Times - Runners, in particular women who run in Florida's summer heat, can probably relate to what happened to French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday. Simply put, he fainted, most likely from being hot and dehydrated while jogging in the French countryside.
Doctors call it vasovagal syncope, a sudden drop in blood pressure that occurs shortly after stopping overexertion.
"We see it in athletes all the time, particularly in women runners with naturally low blood pressure," says Dr. Eric Coris, director of primary care sports medicine at USF Health. "In some long, very competitive events in the heat, as many as a third of female runners will pass out or become light-headed shortly after crossing the finish line."
Most adult Americans would welcome low blood pressure, but in some people it can cause vasovagal episodes throughout life, which are essentially a response to an imbalance in the body's autonomic nervous system. That's what controls our involuntary responses such as heart rate, salivation and perspiration.
The imbalance can be triggered by a number of things, including stress, anger or extreme emotions, witnessing pain, seeing blood or needles, standing for long periods of time or quickly changing position from sitting or lying down to standing up. The result is light-headedness and a brief loss of consciousness or fainting.
Being dehydrated also can trigger a vasovagal episode. So, if a runner who already has low blood pressure becomes dehydrated while jogging or competing, blood pressure can drop even lower. The simple act of stopping a long-distance run can trigger a sudden drop in blood pressure, reduced blood flow to the brain and fainting.
The good news: "It's totally benign and recovery is usually quick," Coris said. Treatment is simple: Lie down in a cool area out of the sun, and put your feet up.
Vasovagal syncope doesn't just happen to dehydrated athletes. It can happen to anyone, but typically first occurs in the teen years. It's not an uncommon reaction to having blood drawn. People with diabetes and Parkinson's disease are at higher risk for fainting; so are migraine headache sufferers. Less often, fainting may also be a symptom of certain heart abnormalities or high blood pressure.
Frequent fainting should be evaluated by a physician. Just ask Sarkozy, who underwent a battery of tests to rule out something more serious.

This invention relates to packet switching networks and particularly to switching, signaling and control arrangements for effecting the retransmission of packets when they are detected to be unusable in a packet switching network.
Packet switching networks are used to convey digital information among information sources and destinations known as end points. In such systems, an information source end point creates packets, each including a data portion and a routing information portion, and transmits the created packets to an input port of the packet network. The packet network includes a plurality of interconnected nodes which receive the packets in succession and based on the routing information, each node completes a path to another node or a network outport port. Destination end points receive packets from the network output ports.
From time-to-time packets traversing the packet network may become unusable. One situation where a packet becomes unusable occurs when two packets destined for the same output port concurrently enter a node. When a node concurrently receives two packets destined for the same node output port a "packet collision" is known to occur and one of the packets becomes unusable since only one packet can be sent to the same node output port at a time. As a consequence, the node selects one of the packets for transmission to the output port and the nonselected packet is oftentimes dropped. Source and destination end points have heretofore been equipped with the capability of recovering dropped packets but the architecture and node of operation for such recovery usually requires the exchange of additional packets between the end points. Despite the benefits of such arrangements, there is a recognized need in the art for packet networks which recover dropped packets without requiring the exchange of additional packets or the use of end point resources.
The nodes of some packet networks include buffer memory which stores unusable packets in the node where the collision occurred. The node then transmits the stored packet from buffer memory at a later time, when the destination node output port is available. The inclusion of memory for packet holding in each node increases the cost and complexity of the overall network.
One packet network has been devised which solves the packet collision problem without additional memory in the node. In that network, the unusable one of two colliding packets is transmitted to an output of the node not specified by the packet routing information. The unusable packet then continues to traverse the network until a network output port is reached. An arrangement at the output ports of the network detects unusable packets (those sent to incorrect output ports) and recirculates the unusable packets back to input ports of the network which have been specifically provided for the recirculation of unusable packets. The recirculated packets are then merged with and treated in the same manner as normal input packets to the network. This arrangement avoids the use of additional memory in the network nodes, but it increases the number of network input ports required and thus makes the network larger and more complicated than without recirculation.
In view of the foregoing, a need exists in the art for a packet switch network which is capable of retransmitting unusable packets without the additional network complexities caused by buffering packets in the packet switch nodes or recirculation of unusable packets back to the inputs of the packet network.
The foregoing problems are solved and a technical advance is achieved in accordance with the principles of the invention in which node switching, signaling and control arrangements are provided for effecting a retransmission of packets without either the need for buffer memory in the nodes or packet recirculation equipment. To elaborate, as a switching node connects a packet over a packet path to a downstream node, it advantageously completes a control signaling path between an input unit which originated the packet and the downstream switching node. When a downstream switching node determines that a packet is unusable, a control signal indicating unusability is returned to the source input unit via the previously completed control signaling path. The input unit responds to that control signal by retransmitting the original packet.
In arrangements such as sorting networks it is desirable not to block packets traversing the network even when they are unusable. The nodes of an embodiment of the present system include the ability to mark packets as unusable and transmit them toward the network outputs. When a packet is marked unusable a block control signal is returned to the input unit via the block signal path. Packets marked as unusable are detected and removed by a trap circuit at the network outputs. Marking unusable packets in conjunction with the removal of marked packets by the trap circuit allows all packets to continue through the network satisfying the requirements of sorting networks and permitting the removal of unusable packets at the network outputs and the retransmission of packets from the network inputs.
An illustrative switching node comprises an arbitration unit which interprets routing information included in packets and controls a packet gate to complete packet paths to downstream nodes. The node also includes a block signal gate which is controlled by the arbitration unit to complete the control signaling paths from downstream nodes to packet originating input units.
An illustrative embodiment includes an input for transmitting to a first switching node a packet including routing information to which the first node responds by connecting the packet to a second switch node and, advantageously, by a departure in the art, completing a block signal path from the second switch node to the input unit. The second switch node comprises an arbitration unit for determining when a packet is unusable and for sending a block signal to the input unit via the block signal path completed by the first node when a packet is determined to be unusable. The input unit responds to the block signal by retransmitting the packet to the first node. Retransmission is accomplished from a buffer storage in the input unit which according to this invention is operated in response to the block signal so that a new representation of a packet previously determined to be unusable can be read therefrom and again be transmitted to the first switching node.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, unusable packets occur when two packets enter a two input node and collide when they are destined for the same output port. The collision is detected by comparing the routing information of the packets. When a collision is detected, a determination is made that one of the packets is unusable and a block control signal is returned via the block signal path to the input unit which sent the unusable packet. The arbitration unit in each of the nodes includes a select flip-flop, the state of which is used in the determination of the unusable packet. The state of the select flip-flop is changed after each packet collision detection to alternate the preference between any two colliding packets.
Packets can be unusable for reasons other than packet collision. For example, a packet which has become corrupted by the change of digit values is determined to be unusable in accordance with the disclosed system. A node in accordance with an aspect of the present invention includes an arrangement for determining that a packet is unusable when it is found to be corrupted. The node responds to such an unusable packet by transmitting a block control signal back to the input unit over the block signal path provided by prior switch nodes.

Packets are generated by a source end point (not shown) and received over trunks e.g. 101, 102 and 103 by individual trunk controllers e.g. 105, 106 and 107. The trunk controllers 105 through 107 buffer the received packets and convert their destination addresses into network addresses which define a specific output port of the packet network. A central processor 108 communicates with the trunk controllers over a conductor 109 to establish appropriate network addresses. The network fabric is comprised of 12 packet nodes e.g. 110, 111 and 112 arranged in three stages of four nodes each. The packet nodes such as packet node 110 are each connected to two input communication paths e.g. 114 and 115 and two output communication paths e.g. 116 and 117. The nodes of individual stages are interconnected in a well-known pattern of a banyan network.
FIG. 2 shows a representative packet which includes three address bits A1, A2 and A3. Illustratively, each address bit controls a node in one of the three stages. Address bit A1 controls a node e.g. 110 in the first stage, address bit A2 controls a node e.g. 111 in the second stage and address bit A3 controls a node e.g. 112 in the third stage. Each node responds to a logic 1 address bit by gating the packet containing the bit to the upper output e.g. 116 and to a logic 0 address bit by gating the packet to the lower output e.g. 117.
Illustratively, equal length packets are transmitted to the network in synchronism and the nodes convey the packets in bit synchronism. A clock circuit 120 provides the necessary timing signals to all nodes and trunk controllers to maintain synchronization. Packets are simultaneously transmitted to the network by the trunk controllers at the beginning of a recurring packet interval. The packet interval is of sufficient duration so that a packet can traverse the entire network before the beginning of the next packet interval. Immediately subsequent packets are transmitted starting at the beginning of the immediately subsequent packet interval.
It is possible that a node e.g. 112 may simultaneously receive two input packets having address bits defining the same node output. When this occurs, called packet collision, only one of the packets can be sent to the defined output and the other packet is unusable. Importantly, the embodiment includes arrangements for retransmitting the unusable packets without requiring that protocol packets be exchanged by the end point devices (not shown). The replacement of unusable packets by retransmission is implemented by the nodes and the trunk controllers.
Each node responds to a predetermined address bit of a packet to complete a communication path from a trunk controller e.g. 105 or upstream node e.g. 110 to a downstream node e.g. 111 or output trunk controller e.g. 104. A communication path e.g. 114 between nodes or between a node and a trunk controller comprises two conductors. One conductor, represented as a solid line in FIG. 1, conveys packets from upstream units to downstream units for packet transmission. The second conductor, represented by a dashed line in FIG. 1, provides a path for downstream units to signal upstream units that an unusable packet has been found and blocked. The signal on the second conductor is called a block signal. As each packet traverses the network it leaves behind the block signal path (dotted conductor) back to the trunk controller which originated the packet. If a packet is found to be unusable and is blocked, the node discovering such transmits a block signal (a logic 1) on the block signal path of the node input which received the unusable packet. The block signal follows the block signal path through the preceding nodes to the trunk controller which originated the now ununsable packet. The trunk controller receiving the block signal then retransmits a copy of the unusable packet during a succeeding packet transmission interval.
The following example illustrates the operation of the FIG. 1 packet network in response to packet collisions. At the beginning of the packet interval trunk controller 105 transmits to node 110 via communication path 114 a packet having address bits A1=1, A2=1 and A3=1 and trunk controller 107 transmits to node 122 via communication path 123 a packet having the same address bits. Node 110 responds to the packet from trunk controller 105 by completing a packet path 124 to node 111 and a block signal path 125 from node 111 to trunk controller 105. Node 122, in response to the packet from trunk controller 107, completes a packet path 126 and a block signal path 127 to node 128 via communication path 129. In the second stage of the network, node 111 responds to the packet address by completing a packet path 130 to node 112 and a block signal path 131 from node 112 to communication path 116. Also in the second stage node 128 responds to the packet address by completing a packet path 133 to node 112 and a block signal path 134 from node 112 to communication path 129. In the third stage, node 112 simultaneously receives from nodes 111 and 128 two packets having a third stage address bit A3=1. This is a packet collision. Node 112 determines, for reasons discussed later herein, that the packet on communication path 135 is unusable and that the packet on communication path 132 is to be transmitted to the designated node output. In response to the determination that the packet on communication path 135 is unusable, a block signal is applied by node 112 to the block signal path 136 of communication path 135. The block signal is returned to trunk controller 107 via the path comprising block signal path 134, communication path 129, block signal path 127 and communication path 123. During the next packet interval trunk controller 107 responds to the block signal by transmitting a representation of the previously transmitted packet which was blocked by note 112.
FIG. 3 is the block diagram of the internal structure of node 110. The description of node 110 is representative of all nodes of the system which are substantially identical. Node 110 includes two input circuits 150 and 151 each of which is connected to a trunk controller e.g. 105 via a communication path e.g. 114. For ease of understanding a packet received on the upper communication path 114 is referred to as packet A and a packet received on the lower communication path is referred to as packet B.
Before continuing the description of FIG. 3, the reader's attention is directed to the representative packet of FIG. 2. Each address bit e.g. A1 is preceded by a logic 1 start bit 140 and succeeded by a field of zero padding 141. Additionally, the trunk controllers transmit a constant logic 0 on the network input between packet transmission to effectively place logic 0 padding before the first stage start bit 140. The logic 1 start bit after a field of zeros notifies a node that a packet is being received. Input circuits 150 and 151 (FIG. 3) respond to the logic 1 start bit 140 on respective communication paths 114 and 115 by gating the start bit to an arbitration arrangement 152 via a respective conductor 153 and 154. The next bit received by an input circuit e.g. 150 after a start bit, is an address bit for the receiving node. The address bits A1 received by input circuits 150 and 151 are gated to arbitration arrangement 152 via respective conductors 155 and 156. Arbitration arrangement 152 determines which output communication path e.g. 116 and 117 is to receive which incoming packet and controls the completion of block signal paths from downstream nodes to upstream nodes.
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of the operation of arbitration unit 152. When one input circuit e.g. 150 receives a start bit (block 201) the arbitration arrangement 152 checks (decision block 202) to determine if both input circuits 150 and 151 have received a packet. Both input circuits are receiving packets when both conductors 153 and 154 are conveying a logic 1 start bit. When two packets have been received, the flow precedes along the path 203 to action block 204 to determine if both packets include the same first address bit A1. When the address bits are not the same, the packets are destined for different node outputs and the flow precedes via path 205 to block 206. In action block 206 a logic 1 grant A signal and a logic 1 grant B signal are generated. The grant A and grant B signals are applied to a packet gate 158 via conductors 159 and 160, respectively. Packet gate 158 receives packets from input circuit 150 via a conductor 162 and packets from input circuit 151 via a conductor 163. Packet gate 158 responds to a logic 1 grant A signal by enabling the use of the packet received at input circuit 150 (packet A) for a node output and to a logic 1 grant B signal by enabling the use of the packet received at input circuit 151 (packet B) for a node output. The particular node output for each packet is selected by the arbitration arrangement 152 in the manner discussed below.
After the generation of grant A and grant B signals in block 206 the arbitration arrangement 152 precedes to block 207 where the appropriate connection pattern of input packets to node outputs is selected. Only two connection patterns exist between node inputs and outputs. In the first pattern, called the through pattern, the packet A received by the node 110 on communication path 114 is transmitted from the node on communication path 116 and the packet B received by the node on communication path 115 is transmitted from the node on communication path 117. In the second pattern, called the cross pattern, the packet A is transmitted from the node on communication path 117 and the packet B is transmitted from the node on communication path 116. The arbitration arrangement 152 reads the address bits from the conductors 155 and 156 and generates a logic 1 through signal (action block 208) on conductor 157 when the through pattern is correct and generates (action block 209) a logic 0 on conductor 157, when the cross pattern is correct. Packet gate 158 responds to the signal on conductor 157 by completing the connection defined thereby between the input 114 and 115 communication paths and the output communication paths 116 and 117.
The nodes e.g. 110 of the present embodiment complete paths for packets and they complete paths for block signals to be returned to the input trunk controllers e.g. 105. The representative node of FIG. 3 includes a block signal gate 164 which is used to complete block signal paths. Block signal gate 164 responds to the connection pattern signals on conductor 157 to complete these paths. When the through pattern is signaled by a logic 1 on conductor 157, block signal gate 164 connects the block signal path of communication path 116 to the block signal path of communication path 114 and the block signal path of communication path 117 to the block signal path of communication path 115. Alternatively, when the signal on conductor on 157 is a logic 0, the block signal path of communication path 116 is connected to the block signal path of communication path 115 and the block signal path of communication path 117 is connected to the block signal path of communication path 114.
In the preceding description of the arbitration arrangement 152 flow diagram shown in FIG. 4, the incoming packets included different address bits A1. When two packets have the same address bits they are both destined for the same output port and only one will be transmitted on. The other packet is unusable. In the flow diagram of FIG. 4 the comparison step 204 detects the identity of address bits and the flow precedes along path 210 to action block 211 where one packet is selected for further transmission and the other packet is determined to be unusable. Illustratively, arbitration arrangement 152 includes a select flip-flop 165 which defines the one of two colliding packets to transmit to a later node. Select flip-flop 165 is in the logic 1 state. In action block 211 the state of select flip-flop 165 is checked and when it is a logic 1 the packet received on communication path 114 is transmitted to the defined node output while the packet received on communication path 115 is unusable. The flow precedes to action block 212 in which a logic 1 grant A signal is generated on conductor 159 and a logic 1 block B signal is generated on conductor 167. Packet gate 158 responds to the grant A signal by enabling the use of the packet received on communication path 114 for transmission to a downstream node. The logic 1 block B signal on conductor 167 is connected by a block signal gate 164 to the block signal path of communication path 115. The logic 1 block B signal is returned via a path including the connections between upstream nodes and the paths through the block signal gates of those upstream nodes to the trunk controller which originated the now blocked unusable packet. The use of the block signal by the trunk controllers is discussed later herein. After the select flip-flop 165 has been used to select a packet, it is toggled so that its state is different the next time it is used. The next time the select flip-flop 165 is checked in action block 211 it will be in the logic 0 state and the action block 213 will be executed instead of the action block 212. In action block 213 a block A signal is transmitted to the block signal path of the communication path 114 via conductor 166 and block signal gate 164.
In the preceding examples two packets were present at the input of the node in FIG. 3. When only one packet is present, the flow diagram proceeds from action block 202 to action block 214 where the active input (either packet A or B) is determined. When the packet is received on communication path 114 a grant A signal is generated (block 217) on conductor 159 and the flow diagram continues to action block 207. Alternatively, when the single packet is on communication path 115 the flow continues to action block 216 where a grant B signal is generated.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram representation of an input trunk controller e.g. 105. All of the input trunk controllers 105 through 107 are substantially identical. The trunk controller in FIG. 5 receives packets from an incoming trunk 101 at an interface 220. Interface 220 collects the digits of incoming packets from the trunk and forwards the received packets via conductor 221 to a translation unit 222. Translation unit 222 includes a translation table (not shown) which is consulted to convert the destination header of packets received from incoming trunks into a 3 address bit destination header of the type shown in FIG. 2 for transmission through the nodes of the network. Whenever translation unit 222 does not include translation mapping information for a new connection, translation unit 222 communicates with central processor 108 to obtain translation mapping information for the new connection. The translation unit appends the network level destination header to the received packet and the packet is stored in a packet queue 223. A network interface 224 which comprises a buffer 225 and an interface control 226 reads packets from packet queue 223 and transmits them to the packet network via communication path 114.
The interface control 226 of each input trunk controller e.g. 105 is connected to the block signal path of a network input communication path e.g. 114. When no block signal is received by interface control 226 during a packet interval, interface control 226 reads a new packet from packet queue 223 and stores it in buffer 225 for transmission during the next packet interval. Alternatively, when a block signal is received by interface control 226 during a packet interval, interface 226 does not read a new packet from packet queue 223 but leaves the prior packet in the buffer 225 for retransmission. In the absence of block signals from the network new packets are read from packet queue 223 and stored in buffer 225 for transmission to the network. However, when a block signal is received, interface control 226 leaves the prior packet in buffer 225 for retransmission during the next packet interval.
The nodes of certain switching networks, such as sorting networks, require that both node inputs receive a packet in order to properly switch the packets. Dropping unusable packets in such a network is not permitted. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment of a node which does not drop unusable packets but marks them and transmits them to downstream nodes. Packet marker circuits 145 and 146 are included in this node to make unusable packets in response to the previously discussed block A and block B signals, respectively.
FIG. 6 is a representation of a packet for use with a node shown in FIG. 7. This packet includes a bit position 142 which is used for packet marking. All packets entering the network contain a logic 0 bit position 142. When a node determines that a packet is unusable and generates a block A or block B signal the packet marker circuit e.g. 145, which passes the unusable packet, changes bit 142 to a logic 1. A trap circuit 144 (FIG. 8) at the network output ports checks each packet as it exits the network and drops each packet having a logic 1 bit 142.
The preceding description relates to unusable packets which resulted from packet collision. Packets can also become unusable due to erroneous changes of the values of their digits. Arrangements are well known in the art for detecting so called corrupt packets by comparing packet information with an error check code in the packet. A packet including an error check code 143 over the packet routing information is shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 10 represents a switch node e.g. 110 which applies the principals of the present invention to packets which are unusable due to errors therein.
The node of FIG. 10 is substantially the same as the node of FIG. 3 except for the addition of error check circuits 147 and 148 and their connection to respective input communication paths 114 and 115 and to the arbitration arrangement 152. Arbitration arrangement 152 generates a block A signal on conductor 166 and inhibits the grant A signal on conductor 159 when check circuit 147 detects a packet error. Similarly, arbitration arrangement 152 generates a block B signal on conductor 167 and inhibits a grant B signal on conductor 160 when check circuit 148 detects a packet error.

We found a group of trees growing but dont know what they are and where they came from. They have been growing very fast, in fact we wanted to identify and transplant but in the last 2 years they went from knee high twigs to 6'. Thought they were some type of pear but the fruits look like cherries but are rock hard. Any help is appreciated because we wont be able to transplant the trees but my husband suggested picking and planting the fruit.
what is this tree?

1. "Lion City Roars for Grimlock" App
DINOBOTS – the incredible new group of robots – will be making their debut appearance in the upcoming movie, the TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION. And, rumour has it that their leader is in Singapore!
In order for the mighty Grimlock to emerge, we need to collect one million decibels worth of roars. To help in this quest, fans and their friends can submit their loudest roars via the Facebook mobile application titled The Lion City Roars for Grimlock.
To access the application, simply go to the following link: http://roarforgrimlock-hasbro.us.kacdn.net on your

Starting from 10pm on Friday, 16th May, fans of all walks can join in the excitement at Toys'R'Us Forum and be the first to own the figures from the TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION movie. Fans can also revel in fun-filled activities such as putting their skills to the test in a race against fellow fans to convert TRANSFORMERS figurines; and have their photos taken with their favourite Transformers characters. What's more, the top spender of the night will win a Gold-Chrome Transformers 4 Optimus Prime Leader (with display case), limited to Toys'R'Us Star Card members only.
The Transformers 4 Platinum Edition Optimus Prime and Grimlock, available only at Toys'R'Us, will be launched at this event.

Exactly! This goes to show there's at least one division of the Hasbro monster that knows what it's doing when it comes to showing their older fans/collectors some love. Besides, in this day and age do you honestly expect that there are parents who still hold on to "old fashioned" values like adhering to bed times and teaching their children manners and respect and other such dying, out-dated concepts? Good luck finding any! There will be just as many, if not more, cranky and over-tired children clamoring for these things as there will be unruly, obnoxious adult collectors.
I'm not going to lie, I'd send my 14 year old into that inevitable mosh pit to battle both adults and children and then negotiate some obscenely high compensation afterwards.
Personally, I'd just be content with the small "Then and Now" figures. I could care less about the gold Prime but selling that little gem on e-bay would go a long way towards my sons first car AND teach him the value of exploiting other people's greed and lust for silly baubles. This could be a very enlightening family "growth" experience.
Leave it to Hasbro to provide such wonderful family bonding experiences. We need to have more events like this in the United States.

Gold painted figures! I wonder if it real gold or just gold colored paint?
