When you get a hives outbreak it's important to realize the things you should be doing. For mild cases of urticaria you don't really need to do much in the form of treatment. These will typically go away on their own within a few hours. You can apply cold compresses or take a cold shower to alleviate the severity of the symptoms. For those that have a bad allergic reaction such as shortness of breath it's a good idea to have an injection of antihistamine with you at all times. You simply inject the serum into your thigh for instant relief. Get prevention, symptoms, and treatment guidelines when you visit there.
Boils, Abscesses, Carbuncles: Review
Infected and pus-filled swellings in the skin that are often situated in or near hair roots are what is known as boils. They are frequently discovered astride the neck as well as in other wet locations of the body like the armpits as well as the groin, however, could be anywhere on the body. Sometimes numerous boils tend to develop close to each other in a cluster. A carbuncle is formed when a number of boils combine to form a one very deep boil with several different pus heads or drainage factors. An abscess could be so deep that it may not surface for a long period of time.
Boils are firm red-colored bumps regarding 5-10mm. They tend to be elevated slightly above the surface of the skin. They tend to be very tender to the touch. A boil generally has a noticeable central core of pus; a carbuncle is bigger and also has several noticeable heads. Boils happen most typically on the face, rear of the neck, butts, upper legs as well as groin area, armpits, and also upper torso.
There are numerous various kinds of boils, including:
Furuncle / Carbuncle– An abscess in the skin caused by the germs Staphylococcus aureus. It can have several openings onto the skin as well as might be associated with a fever or cools. They are less usual compared to solitary boils; they are more than likely to develop at the back of the neck as well as in males. Carbuncles could form in the exact same areas as boils, and could also form on the scalp, face, as well as butts. Furunculosis is a word that is often utilized to refer to recurrent boils. Several individuals have duplicated episodes of furunculosis that are difficult to alleviate because their nasal passages lug nests of Staphylococcus aureus. These microbial nests make it easy for the person's skin to be reinfected.
Folliculitis– A milder version of boils. This is an infection of hair follicles, typically with Staph microorganisms. These typically itch more than injured. The look is similar to acne pustules.
Cystic acne– A type of abscess formed when oil ductworks come to be clogged up and contaminated. Cystic acne is most common in the teenage years. These are typically body boils before they drain or pop.
Hidradenitis suppurativa— An unusual illness of not known the reason in which there are a number of abscesses that form under the armpits, in the groin location, or under the busts. These areas are an outcome of regional swelling of the gland.
Pilonidal cyst– A type of abscess that occurs in the crease of the butts. These frequently form after lengthy trips that include resting.
Why Do We Fear Things?
Every person fears something in their life. For many these fears tend to change over time as we experience new things. However, for some their persistent fear of something can last for months and even years until they seek treatment. This is what is know as a phobia. This is classified as an anxiety disorder. This fear likely developed to a bad experience in the person's past that has caused their brain to link that bad situation or object with danger. You can learn more about the causes of phobias when you visit http://genophobia.net in your web browser.
Irritant Contact Eczema
Irritant contact eczema is the most common form of eczema or dermatitis that people tend to get. This is caused by coming into contact with soaps, detergents, fabric softeners, and solvents. The skin will react with redness, itching, swelling, and a burning sensation. Some more irritants include cement, rubber gloves, hair dyes, and shampoos. There are literally hundreds of different things that you come into contact with on a daily basis that could cause this conditions. You can learn more about these irritants when you visit http://revitoleczemacreamtherapy.com/.
Connecting Your Bed With Sleeping
One of the biggest mistakes that those with insomnia have it associating their bed with a place for other stimulating activities. Your bedroom should be kept for sleeping and sex. Don't read, watch television or do work in your bedroom. Turn your clocks out of your view. You don't want to be staring at the clock each night as it will only increase your anxiety. If you have trouble falling asleep get out of bed and do a soothing activity. This could be taking a bath or listening to soft music. You can get more tips like this at http://melatrol.net.
Treating Vaginal Yeast Infections Effectively
If you have a vaginal yeast infection it can be extremely annoying. Not only is your discharge abnormal but you will experience painful symptoms of itching, swelling, and burning. This will make it necessary for you to get treatment to avoid these painful symptoms. It is important to note that you don't have to seek treatment for vaginal yeast infections as many will cure themselves over time. Those that do seek treatment do so to get rid of the painful symptoms. Butoconazole, clotrimazole, miconazole, and terconazole are all vaginal tablets that treat yeast infections. You can learn more about these treatments at http://clumpydischarge.com.
is Colon Cleansing Helpful?
Cleaning out your colon is necessary to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and feeling good about yourself. You don't always have to opt for the medical procedure, called a colonoscopy. You can actually just use over the counter colon cleansing supplements like Bowtrol. You can learn more about Bowtrol at http://bowtrolcoloncontrolcleanse.com/.
These will remove the toxins that are building up in the colon. Over time these toxins start to accumulate and slow down the digestive system. The colon is the area in the body where vitamins and nutrients are taken from the foods and drinks and given to the bloodstream. When the colon walls become blocked with these toxins it makes it more difficult for these essential building blocks to get to the bloodstream.
This leads to excessive weight gain, fatigue, lack of focus, and an overall sluggish feeling each day. If you have these symptoms we highly suggest you check out Bowtrol to get back to your normal healthy self.
Premature Ejaculation: A Result Of Sexual Anxiety
Premature or early ejaculation as the name suggests refers to a tendency for men to ejaculate with little sexual stimulation. This can happen before vaginal penetration or just shortly after. Each situation seems to be a little different for each man.
This is considered a very common male sexual dysfunction. In fact, doctors have estimated that between twenty and thirty percent of men experience this problem at one point or another throughout their lifetime. Those who experience it once in a while don't really need to worry. It's likely due to a change in sexual partners or environment.
Those who experience rapid ejaculation during most of their sexual encounters should seek treatment. If left untreated this could spark into a lot of emotional turmoil over not fully pleasing your sexual partner. Enlast is a sexual numbing cream that is specifically designed for men with this issue.

This invention related generally to vehicular repeater systems, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for improving the performance of such systems and the portable units operating therein.
Vehicular repeaters operate to allow a portable unit to communicate via the vehicular repeater with a base unit. This arrangement increases the "talk-back" range of the portable by relaying upon the higher power transmitter of the vehicular repeater. Generally, however, vehicular repeater systems have an inherent detriment when communication is directed from the base through the vehicular repeater to the portable. This detriment stems from the simplex operation of the vehicular repeater. Typically, base units cause the vehicular repeater to be held in the transmitting-to-portable mode for a brief period at the end of each transmission. Accordingly, the vehicular repeater cannot receive a response transmission from the portable immediately following the conclusion of a voice message from the base due to this "hang time". Also, a portable operator may desire to have access at some time during a transmission for the vehicular repeater to transmit, for example, an emergency message. Thus, it is generally desirable to permit the portable to have priority since the portable operator is likely to be in a dangerous situation (for example a police officer or fireman). However, due to simplex operation, if the vehicular repeater is transmitting, it will not respond to transmissions from the portable.
To solve this access problem, some vehicular repeater designers have opted to create small"holes" (i.e., interruptions) in the repeated audio to the portable to permit the vehicular repeater to switch to its receiving mode in an attempt to detect a transmitted carrier from the portable. In this way, if the portable should transmit during a message from the base the portable transmission may be given priority (if its transmitter carrier is detected) and be permitted to take control of the vehicular repeater.
While generally effective, contemporary vehicular repeater systems suffer from two detriments which are typically balanced against one another in any particular implementation. The first detriment is that during the interruptions in the repeated audio (during which time a vehicular repeater looks for the transmitted carrier from the portable), an unsquelched noise burst is apparent in the speaker of the portable. The second detriment stems from the recognition of those skilled in the art that carrier detection circuits are prone to falsing. Since these noise burst are generally undesirable, and may impair the proper reception of the message, it is desirable to keep the interruptions as brief as possible. However, a shorter detection interval reduces the time that the carrier detection circuit has to examine the incoming signal, and therefore, increases the likehood of falsing. Additionally, falsing may occur in situations where several portables are clustered in a small area and are talking on the same frequency. A typical situation comprises police or fire scenes, which may involve several individuals using portable radios. In these situations, stray signals from portables on the same frequency may be received by a vehicular repeater other than the one actually associated with the transmitting portable. These falsing errors cause an improper seizure of the vehicular repeater which interrupts the message from the base and prevents reception by the portable.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a vehicular repeater system that minimizes or eliminates the falsing and noise burst detriments of the prior art thereby providing improved system and portable performance.
Briefly, according to the invention, a vehicular repeater periodically briefly interrupts the repeated audio and a timing signal is transmitted to the portable. The timing signal is used by the portable to determine when the vehicular repeater will next interrupt the repeated information. If no transmission is desired, the portable operates to mute the portable's speaker during the interruption to prevent noise bursts. Conversely, if desiring to transmit, the portable synchronizes the transmission of a signal to coincide with the next interruption. Upon the initial detection of at least a portion of the portable's transmitted signal, the vehicular repeater extends the interruption interval to facilitate reception of the portable's signal.

FIG. 6c is a timing diagram illustrating the mobile-to-portable data operation of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicular repeater system includes a portable unit (10) that utilizes a higher power radio (repeater) installed in a vehicle. This vehicular repeater (12) re-transmits information from the portable 10 to a base unit (or base repeater) (14). This operation extends the "talk-back" (i.e., portable-to-base) transmission range of the portable unit.
According to the invention, the vehicular repeater operates to create "holes" (i.e., interruptions) in the transmissions while in the base-to-portable mode These "holes" permit the vehicular repeater to switch to its receiving mode to detect a signal from the portable. (10). In this way, if the portable should transmit during a message from the base the portable transmission will be given priority and be permitted to take control of the vehicular repeater (12). Additionally, the vehicular repeater (12) sends timing information to the portable (10). The portable (10) uses this timing information to synchronously mute the portable's speaker so that the operator will not be annoyed by noise bursts. Moreover, this timing information is used to coordinate portable transmissions so as to most effectively capture control of the vehicular repeater (12).
Referring to FIG. 2, the portable unit (10) is illustrated in block diagram form. To transmit a signal, an operation actives a push-to-talk (PTT) switch, which asserts a PTT signal (100) to a controller (102). Upon detection of the PTT signal (100), the controller (102) activates (104) a transmitter (106). Additionally, the controller operates (110) a switch (108) so that signals eminating from the transmitter (106) are coupled to an antenna (116). Thereafter, signals (e.g., voice) impressed upon a microphone (112) will be transmitted from the portable unit to the vehicular repeater for re-transmission to the base unit. Also, data information (e.g., status, inquiry, switch closures from the controls (128), etc.) may be provided (114) to the transmitter (106) for transmission.
To receive a message, the controller (102) operates (110) the switch (108) so that the antenna (116) provides signals to a receiver (118). The receiver routes recovered digital information (e.g., data messages, status, and the timing information) to the controller (102), while audio information (e.g., voice) is provided (122) to audio circuits (124) for appropriate filtering and amplification before being presented to the operation via a speaker (125). Conversely, recovered data messages may be presented to the operator via a display (126).
According to the invention, the controller (102) operates in the receive mode to use the timing information transmitted by the vehicular repeater to mute (127) the recovered audio, so that the operator will not be annoyed with noise bursts that occur due to "holes" in the received signal. These holes are created by the vehicular repeater (12) when it is determining whether the portable unit (10) is transmitting. Additionally, this timing signal is processed by the controller (102) to coordinate the activation (104) of the transmitter (106) so that switch closure or PTT activation information may be synchronized to the time when the vehicular repeater is looking for portable transmissions. In this way, system efficiency and effectiveness is improved.
Referring to FIG. 3, a flow diagram illustrates the preferred operation of the portable unit (10) begins in step 300, where the timing information is extracted and used to synchronize the muting of the portable's speaker (step 302). In decision 304, the portable determines whether the operator has activated the PTT switch to transmit. If so, the portable unit synchronizes the transmission to the timing information (step 306) so as to most effectively capture control of the vehicular repeater. That is, the portable's actual transmission may not occur when the PTT switch is activated, but rather, at the next available transmit time as determined by the timing information received from the vehicular repeater.
If the determination of decision 304 is that the PTT switch was not activated, decision 308 determines whether some other control or switch was activated. If so, this information is transmitted synchronized to the timing signal (step 310). Conversely, if no action has been taken by the portable operator, decision 312 determines whether the portable is still receiving transmissions from the vehicular repeater. If so, the routine returns to step 300.
Referring to FIG. 4, a block diagram of the vehicular repeater (12) is shown. In the base-to-portable mode, a controller (400) controls (402 and 404) switches (406 and 408) that couple antennas (410 and 412) respectively to a base receiver (414) and a portable transmitter (416). In this mode, information received from the base (418) is sent to the portable unit, together with the timing information (420). Synchronously with the timing information, the portable transmitter (416) is interrupted (422), and the controller (400) operates the switch (408) so that the antenna (412) is coupled to a portable receiver (424). This allows the controller to attempt to detect (426) whether the portable unit is transmitting during the interruption.
If no transmissions are detected, the antenna (412) is re-coupled (via the switch 408) to the portable transmitter (416) and the base information (418) continues to be sent to the portable unit. Conversely, if a portable transmission is detected, the interruption of the base information is extended (420) to enable the controller to process a longer sample of the incoming portable transmission. This process allows the controller (400) a verification time following the initial signal detection so that an initial false detection does not cause reversal of the direction of communication. However, if portable transmission is verified, the controller (400) must determine whether the portable unit desires to transmit information to the base unit, or has sent updated status or inquiry information. If the portable is providing information to the repeater, the controller processes and/or stores the information as appropriate. However, if the portable is transmitting to the base, the controller activates (428) a base transmitter (430) and operates (402) the switch (406) so as to couple the base transmitter to the antenna (410). In this way, the portable is given transmission priority in the communication system of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 5a and 5b, a flow diagram illustrating the operation of the vehicular repeater is shown. The routine begins in step 500, where the vehicular repeater receives a message from the base for re-transmission to the portable. Next, timing information is added to the received signal (step 502), and the combined signal is transmitted to the portable unit (step 504). Synchronously with the timing information, this transmission is interrupted (step 506), and the vehicular repeater operates to determine whether the portable is transmitting (decision 508). If so, the interruption of the base-to-portable transmission is extended (step 510) to enable the controller to verify that the portable is indeed transmitting (decision 512). If the portable was not transmitting, the routine loops back to step 500. Conversely, if the portable is transmitting, the vehicular repeater transmits an acknowledge signal (step 514) and determines whether the portable's transmission is for the base unit (decision 516). If so, the repeater gives transmission priority to the portable unit and transmits the portable's message to the base (step 518). Otherwise, the information transmitted by the portable will be switch, status or inquiry information for the repeater. In this case, the information is updated or processed by the repeater (step 520) and the repeater begins to re-transmit the base information to the portable. Thus, by providing the controller an extended verification time, the present invention minimizes falsing without unduly interrupting base transmissions.
Referring to FIG. 6a, a timing diagram illustrating the voice operation of the present invention is shown. Initially, the vehicular repeater (12) is transmitting (i.e., repeating a message from the base (14)), and the portable (10) is receiving (618). The transmitted information (616) from the vehicular repeater comprises an audio information signal (620), and timing information (622), which may comprise one or more low speed digital codes. Preferably, these codes are selected to operate as an identification means, and to enable the portable (10) to determine when the next interruption (624, 626) will occur. With this information, the portable (10) may synchronize a transmission or mute its speaker to prevent an audible noise burst. Additionally, other information may be coded into or transmitted with the timing signal, such as, for example, control, audio processing, or status information. According to the present invention, the interruptions occur periodically at approximately three times per second. Preferably, the interruption (624) has a duration of 15 ms., although other durations are possible.
Assuming that the portable (10) desires to transmit a voice message, the operator could assert a push-to-talk (PTT) switch to asserted a PTT signal (628). Ordinarily, upon the assertion of the PTT switch, the portable would immediately begin transmitting. However, in this case, such activity would be futile since the vehicular repeater (12) is transmitting (616') (i.e., repeating) and not listening to the portable. However, since the portable (10) may determine when the next interruption (630) will occur (due to the timing signal (622)), transmission is delayed (631) until the next interruption (630), at which time the portable transmits a signal (632). Preferably, the portable preambles its signal with an easily detected code, such as an alternating "1", "0" pattern.
The vehicular repeater (12) makes an initial determination during the interruption (630) as to whether a valid signal has been received from the portable by examining at least a portion (i.e., at least some of the preamble) of the portable's transmission. Optionally, a conventional carrier detect dievice may be used in conjunction with the present invention if desired in a particular implementation. If the vehicular repeater (12) determines that the signal decoded during the interruption (630) is incorrect, the repeated information resumes, and transmission continues from base-to-portable. Conversely, if a received message appears vaild, the vehicular repeater (12) operates to extend the interruption (634), to facilitate the complete (verify) reception of the portable's signal. The complete signal (632) may include the portable's identification code and other control or signalling information. After decoding the portable's signal, the vehicular repeater (12) responds with a "go ahead" packet (636). Upon receipt of the "go ahead" packet, the portable transmits (638) a voice message to be repeated to the base (14). After release of the PTT switch (640), which may follow shortly after the PTT switch closure or an extended time later, the portable transmits an end-of-message (EOM) code (642). Upon receipt of the EOM code, the vehicular repeater acknowledges (644) receipt of the portable's information. In this way, if a portable roams out of transmission range, or if transmission is blocked by some obstruction, the portable operator may be signalled to re-transmit the information when communication is reestablished.
At each interruption, the vehicular repeater (12) looks for a signal (632) transmitted from the portable (10). Preferably, the portable's transmitted signal (632) includes an identification (ID) code, which may be preambled by synchronization or other information. In this way, falsing problems caused by mulitple portables transmitting on the same frequency in a localized area are avoided since if the vehicular repeater determines that a received signal (632) has an incorrect ID code, the extended interruption (634) is ended and transmission to the portable (10) resumes. Further, since the timing signal (622) preferably contains an ID code, only the portable associated with a particlular vehicular repeater will be able to determine exactly when the next interruption will occur. Therefore, the possibility of stray signals causing a false interruption extensions are minimal. However, assuming that, by coincidence, two or more portables (or other mobiles) are transmitting on the same frequency and during the same interruptions (634) (and that this situation leads to several extended interruptions), the present invention contemplates that the vehicular repeater (12) may command its associated portable (10) to change frequency via a signal inserted into the timing information (622) or by sending a command (as shown in FIG. 6c). A change of frequency could also be made to avoid an interference condition if a strong interfering carrier is detected in several interrupt intervals (624) irrespective of whether an extended interruption (634) has occurred. In this way, several portable and mobile units may be operating in the same area and not interfere with one another.
Optionally, after receiving a transmission from its associated portable (10), vehicular repeater (12) may then determine the signal strength value of the received transmission(s) and transmit a command to said corresponding portable (10) directing it to vary one or more of its operational parameters. The vehicular repeater (12) can transmit this command to the portable (10) if the signal strength value that was measured by the repeater (12) was at least equal to a predetermined threshold.
Referring now to FIG. 6b, a timing diagram illustrating the data operation of the present invention is shown. As used herein, the data operation of the present invention refers to any information signal transmitted or decoded in a data format, including, but not limited to, test, command codes or status updates. Assuming now that the portable (10) desires to transmit data infomation, the operator would assert some switch closure (628'). For example, the portable may have asserted a switch that automatically sends a predetermined status message. Alternately, the portable operator may wish to change the state of some operational parameter of the vehicular repeater (12), such as, for example, frequency, signalling, or the like, in which case some other switch may be activated. Ordinarily, upon the assertion of a switch, the portable would immediately begin transmitting information. However, as discussed above, such activity would be futile since the vehicular repeater (12) is transmitting (616') (i.e., repeating) and not listening to the portable. However, since the portable (10) may determine when the next interruption (630) will occur (due to the timing signal (622)), transmission is delayed (631) until the next interruption (630), at which time the portable transmits the data information signal (623'). Preferably, the portable preambles this signal with an easily detected code, such as an alternating "1", "0" pattern.
The vehicular repeater (12) operates in a similar manner as discussed for voice messages to make an inital determination during the interruption (630) as to whether a valid signal has been received from the portable. This done by examining at least a portion (i.e., at least some of the preamble) of the portable's transmission. If the vehicular repeater (12) determines that the signal decoded during the interruption (630) is incorrect, the repeated information resumes, and transmission continues from base-to-portable. Conversely, if a received message appears valid, the vehicular repeater (12) operates to extend the interruption (634), to facilitate the complete reception of the portable's signal. The complete signal (632') may also include the portable's identification code. After decoding the portable's signal, the vehicular repeater (12) responds with an acknowledge signal (636). Following this information interchange, the vehicular repeater would resume transmitting (616) and the portable would resume receiving (618).
Referring now to FIG. 6c, a timing diagram illustrating mobile-to-portable data operation is shown. As discussed above, the vehicular repeater (12) is initially transmitting (i.e., repeating a message from the base (14)), and the portable (10) is receiving (628). The transmitted information (616) from the vehicular repeater comprises an audio information signal (620), and a timing signal (612), which may comprise one or more low speed digital codes. According to the invention, these codes are selected to operate as an identification means, and to enable the portable (10) to determine when the next interruption (624) will occur. With this information, the portable (10) may synchronize a transmission or mute its speaker to prevent an audible noise burst. However, the present invention comtemplates that the mobile unit may have to itself interrupt the repeated communications (616) and transmit an information signal (650). This information may include command and/or status information essential to proper communications. Accordingly, the information signal (650) may be transmitted by the mobile to the portable at any time, however, the mobile may not begin its transmission immediately before or during an interruption (624), since the portable (10) may be transmitting during the interruption. Thus, the information signal (650) may begin after the conclusion of a non-extended interruption. Alternately, the repeated signal (626) may be interrupted at any time so long as it is not immediately before the beginning of the next scheduled interruption interval.
After receipt of the information signal (650), the present invention contemplates that the mobile wait a predetermined time period before resuming repeating the base signal (616'). This delay enables the portable to quickly respond with an acknowledge signal (652), irrespective of where the next interruption would have occurred. In this way, communication through-put is improved an spectral efficiency is enhanced. After resumption of the repeated base signal (616'), the portable reverts to timing all other transmissions to the periodic interruption intervals (624').
In summary, the present invention affords the portable (10) an opportunity to interrupt. By timing the portable transmissions to the period interruptions, a reliable and efficient communication system is provided. The vehicular repeater's operation of the initial detection followed by the extension of the interruption to confirm the validity of the portable's interruption, virtually precludes the possibility of falsing. Since the mobile and portable may communicating control and status parameters between one another, local interference may be minimized or eliminated if two or more portables or mobiles are operating on the same frequency. Further, in the case of mobile-to-portable data transmission, communication through-put is maximized by transmitting substantially irrespective of where the next interruptions will occur, the noise may be muted so as not to distract or impair the reception of the message from the base (14).

The New Massachusetts Solar Net Metering Law: Key Provisions & How We Succeeded
Steps in Massachusetts Pave The Way For State to Maintain Solar Leadership
Following is a statement by Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), on Governor Baker's signing of compromise legislation to lift the cap on net metering in Massachusetts and on his decision to issue an emergency regulation extending the Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)
Compromise Proposal to Raise Massachusetts Net Metering Caps Reopens State for Business
State legislators reached a much-needed end to the solar impasse in Massachusetts, when the House and Senate agreed on legislation to raise the state's net metering caps by 3 percent. Following is a statement on the agreement from Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
Study: Solar Impasse Costing Massachusetts Hundreds of Millions in Lost Revenue, Investment
Inaction on raising net metering caps and reforming the Commonwealth's Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) program has stopped construction of more than 500 solar projects valued at $617 million, which is costing cities and towns $3.2 million in annual tax revenues, according to analysis conducted by Vote Solar and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
Bipartisan Massachusetts Lawmakers Show Great Leadership In Pressing Pro-Solar Legislation
Following is a statement from Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), applauding 100 members of the Massachusetts House of Representatives for writing House leadership supporting legislation to assure strong net energy metering policies.
Solar Industry Urges Massachusetts to Lift the Net Energy Metering Cap
Following is a statement from Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), following this evening's remarks by Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker in his 2016 State of the Commonwealth address
SEIA Applauds Baker Administration for Leadership on Raising Near-Term Net Metering Caps in Massachusetts; Voices Concern Over Longer-Term Framework
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker today filed a bill that will address the need to raise the net metering caps in the Commonwealth. The Governor's action is an important step in the legislative process. It recognizes both the popularity of solar in the state and its importance to the economy, and it advances the Governor's commitment to reaching and exceeding 1,600 megawatts (MW) of solar in Massachusetts.
Raising NEM Caps in Massachusetts Seen as Vital to Future Solar Growth
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Despite a strong first quarter, industry leaders are warning that future solar growth in Massachusetts is being jeopardized because net energy metering (NEM) caps have been reached in many areas of the state. These caps have been hit because of the exploding popularity of solar – evidenced by a 150 percent increase in new solar capacity in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Coalition Praises Progress Made on Massachusetts Solar Energy Roadmap
Boston - The Mass Solar Coalition, an alliance of solar and clean energy industry organizations, businesses and solar and environmental advocates, commended the work of the Net Metering and Solar Task Force, which sent a final report to the State Legislature Friday with recommendations on the future of solar policy in the Commonwealth.

Anyone Have No Sexual Or Dating Experience Because Of Acne?
k3tchup replied to azstl25's topic in Emotional and psychological effects of acneIn the younger teen/young adult years nobody around me really showed interest in dating me. Looks matter. Then. As adults were more forgiving as we mature (hopefully people do mature) so looks and flaws mean less while things like personality, and character traits matter more like stuff not seen such as confidence which is often been said to me by various girls to be unique to each guy and highly attractive. While acne doesn't completely leave me alone one thing that has changed is my confidence which has made me lots of friends and them friends ask others and me if im single and am looking to date. I find this odd as this never happened growing up. But thinking about it these logical connections do make sense. So i will say self esteem, your attitude towards yourself, and overall confidence do matter. I've still only had relations with 1 person but numbers don't mean anything to me because its not a numbers game. Just lookin for the right one. As the above person said appearance should never be an issue as it does not define you
Acne Through My Eyes - Then and Now
k3tchup replied to gymrat3's topic in Emotional and psychological effects of acneI wanted to say there is truth to this. I don't login much either, often i have to reset my password I never remember Though i wish i could have read this sooner or it have been available way back then. I to have done essentially less and also find it does more for me then getting all worked up about the little things that become our OCD to controlling this pain. It will consume your life if you let it that's for sure. I find products only made or created a new problem. Steps made me anal and compulsive. Worrying and doing little things only created anxiety. I get a pimple now so what i dont care. I think what has helped is not focusing on it and growing older has probably helped. Acne hit me late so it wasn't like a problem until 17-18. It peaked in my early 20's right when i started using a shit load of things to treat it. I'm nearing 26 having gave my skin a break for 2 years + after not seeing a prolonged solution. it was the best thing for me. I support the OP. Thanks for your words!

Growing up with Books and Traveling the World
With a scientist/writer for a mother and a research physician for a father, it's little wonder that Molly Bang grew up to be a writer and illustrator who would eventually make it her mission to create books that drawn children into the world of science. Her family kept a large library and would often give each other books illustrated by the famous Charles Rackham as gifts. Molly found these to be inspiring.
After she graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in French, Molly traveled to Japan to teach English at a university there for 18 months before returning to work on master's degrees in Oriental studies. Then it was back overseas to illustrate health manuals for UNICEF, as well as Johns Hopkins and Harvard, working, among other places, in Calcutta and Bangladesh.

In HonorPosted on 1/26/16 - by John Braun email@example.com Jan 2016. Today, the members of Facebook Group 'Native Americans On the Vietnam Memorial Wall' honored you in memory. Rest In Peace.
Final Mission of PFC Harold E. WillisPosted on 9/13/15 - by firstname.lastname@example.com January 25, 1966, three days prior to the start of Operation Masher, a division-size sweep mission, COL Harold Moore's 3rd Brigade of the 1st Cav Division (5,700 men) prepared to strike at its objectives. Elements of the 1st Cavalry Division were being redeployed by aircraft when tragedy beset the cavalrymen. A Fairchild C-123K Provider (serial #54-0702) from the 311th Air Commando Squadron, 315th Air Commando Group, 13th Air Force mysteriously slammed into a mountainside near An Khe, killing all aboard. All told, 46 men, including the entire crew of the plane, were lost. It was raining and the cloud ceiling was at just 300 feet when the transport plane took off from An Khe for the short flight to the base camp of the 1st Calvary Division. Apart from the 42 passengers, the aircraft carried a load of ammunition and grenades. Shortly after takeoff the airplane flew into a hillside as it attempted to return to An Khe. Reportedly, the airplane had suffered an engine fire just prior to impacting the hillside. The Provider struck trees inverted as it crashed, which was witnessed by squad of 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry troops guarding the pass. Investigators later found evidence of a fire in the No. 2 engine. Recovery team personnel were tormented by what they found at the crash site. "The bodies were badly torn," said LTC Kenneth Mertel. "It was not as bad to get killed on the battlefield, if one had to." It would be the worst air crash in Vietnam to date involving US troops. Those lost included USAF crew members CAPT Harry R. Crumley, CAPT Edward C. Handly, SSGT Leonard Williams, and SSGT Richard D. Youtsey. The 42 Army troops of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry from Camp Radcliff included PFC Charles E. Alston, PFC Charles R Ashley Jr., SGT Robert C. Bowman, PFC Monte D. Brooks, PFC Johnnie L. Brown, SGT James P. O'Donnell, SP4 Gary R. Bryant, PFC David E. Burkes, SGT James P. Coats, PFC Paul M. Bell, PFC Billy C. Deweese, SP4 Eugene D. Dollar, PFC Dean J. Elichko, PSGT Charles L. Eschbach, SSGT Samuel P. Giffard, SP4 Donald R. Gribler, PFC Jerome Herrington, SGT John D.

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, Sir

As years pass, our lives change and people move on from one happening to another. We often don't stop to recognize all those that were killed in years past so that we could enjoy the many freedoms that we have today. The men and women who made the supreme sacrifice in hopes of a better tomorrow. Well, I want you to know that my classmates and I from Gridley who are working on the Gridley High School Posting Project for a history class, do remember you. And we are grateful. I have a better appreciation for all those who died serving our country in the war and I want you to know that you will always be remembered.

Abstract: R40.00007 : Polarization Requirements for Ensemble Implementations of Quantum Algorithms with a Single Bit Output
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Brandon Anderson
(University of Texas at Dallas)
David Collins
(Bucknell University)
We compare the failure probabilities of ensemble implementations of quantum algorithms which use pseudo-pure initial states, quantified by their polarization, to those of competing classical probabilistic algorithms. Specifically we consider a class algorithms which require only one bit to output the solution to problems. For large ensemble sizes, we present a general scheme to determine a critical polarization beneath which the quantum algorithm fails with greater probability than its classical competitor. We apply this to the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm to determine the critical polarization.

CFP Reminder: Canadian Association for Irish Studies Annual Conference "Text and Beyond Text in Irish Studies: New Visual, Material & Spatial Perspectives"
Call for Papers Date:

Announcement ID:
Text and Beyond Text in Irish Studies: New Visual, Material & Spatial Perspectives
Canadian Association for Irish Studies 2011 Conference, Concordia University, Montreal, July 6 - 9.
Reminder: CFP deadline February 21, 2011.
We are planning a range of Irish cultural events as well as social events that will introduce aspects of Montreal to visitors.
Among the keynote lectures and performances will be (please read below for full details):
Henry Glassie
Paige Reynolds
Novelist Patrick McCabe
Fiddler Pierre Schryer with Martine Billette
In addition to academic lectures, the program will include readings, a musical concert and screening of films.
Initially based primarily on text-based literary and historical investigation, Irish Studies have increasingly been infused by resources and methods derived from other disciplines. Explorations of visual communication, of material culture and the built environment, and of performance generate contrapuntal meanings to be considered alongside textually derived narratives. Indeed, words (whether sung, spoken or written), aside from their own function and inherent value in history and culture, also serve as conduits to study Irish things, places, and performances.
The premise of this conference is to encourage a flourishing dynamic between the study of text-based materials and that of images, things, sounds, tastes, movement, and other cultural and social markers, as a means of offering new perspectives on Irish Studies. The Canadian Association for Irish Studies, therefore, invites papers on any aspect of these disciplines. Papers are also invited on other topics of interest to members of CAIS. Please submit your proposal (approximately 250 words) and a brief (50 word) bio to email@example.com. The submission deadline is 21 FEBRUARY 2011. Any correspondence related to the conference should be sent to the abovementioned email address.
HENRY GLASSIE is Emeritus College Professor of Folklore at Indiana University, Bloomington. A leading scholar in the fields of vernacular architecture, cultural landscapes, and material culture, Glassie is the author of nearly twenty books, several of them on Ireland including All Silver and No Brass: An Irish Christmas Mumming (1975), the award-winning Passing the Time in Ballymenone (1982), and The Stars of Ballymenone (2006). Glassie has lectured widely in Europe and Asia, as well as North America. He has won numerous international awards for his work.
PAIGE REYNOLDS is an associate professor in the department of English at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. She is the author of Modernism, Drama, and the Audience for Irish Spectacle (2007) and a variety of articles on topics related to modernism in Ireland and England, theater and performance, and film. She is co-editor (with Charles Orser) of a forthcoming issue of Éire-Ireland on material culture in Ireland. Currently, she is at work on a short biography of the twentieth-century Irish playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and cultural critic Mary Manning.
Irish writer PATRICK MCCABE is the author of twelve novels as well as several plays and short stories. His novels include The Butcher Boy (1992) and Breakfast on Pluto (1998), both of which were shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize for Fiction and adapted for the screen by Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan. McCabe, who calls his style of writing "bog gothic," has received numerous literary awards. His most recent novel is The Stray Sod Country (2010). McCabe is currently teaching in the Department of English at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.
Fiddler PIERRE SCHRYER, part of the vibrant Franco-Ontarian culture, was immersed in the music and traditions of his heritage from an early age. As a solo performer he has received numerous awards including Canadian Open Fiddle Champion, Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, Violoneux Championnat, and North American Irish Fiddle Champion.
Schryer has recorded a number of solo and group albums including The New Canadian Waltz (1995), 2 Worlds United (1999), Acoustique! (2000), Heat of the Moment (2002), Blue Drag (2003), and mélange (2008).
Schryer will be accompanied by pianist MARTINE BILLETTE. Having grown up with a violinist father, Billette had the opportunity to learn accompaniment at a young age, thus developing her ear for traditional music. Billette played for four years with master fiddler André Brunet, and has toured the United States, England, Japan, and France with several groups including Ménage ŕ trois, Manigance, and The Pierre Schryer Band. Billette is also an internationally renowned step dancer, considered one of Quebec's best.

Fixed PriceBudget: $20
Start DateMarch 23, 2014
My friend came up with an absolutely horrendous joke and I would like to make a cool/funny/witty poster containing the joke and making fun of how bad it is.
The joke or what he described as a "nerdy insult" is:
"You're like a circle and I'm like String Theory... You're pointless and I'm multidimensional"
Not only is this joke horrible and not funny, it's also technically wrong in multiple ways.
1) Circles are not pointless, they actually have an infinite amount of points
2) String Theory does have a multi-demential component, but the strings themselves are one dimensional, the theory itself has zero dimensions- its just an idea or concept, and why is it so cool for him to be multidimensional- isn't everything multidimensional that's not a single point.
3) Even if it was technically correct, it's not funny or insulting in any way
I would like to make a poster for him as a house warming gift. I would like the poster to contain the joke, be creatively designed (something you would want to hang up and frame), but also make fun of how bad this joke is.
I need someone who is artistically and linguistically creative to create this. Please tell me why you are good candidate in the screening questions and share a piece your work where you have demonstrated these qualities.
