1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an imaging device, either for ionizing radiation such as X or gamma rays or charged particles, or for light radiation, whose wavelength can be in the visible, ultraviolet or infrared. More specifically, the invention applies to non-focusable ionizing radiation.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The imaging or taking of images of an ionizing radiation makes it possible by radiographic projection or tomographic reconstitution to study living or non-living matter and consequently carry out a non-destructive analysis of the internal structure of objects having variable sizes and masses and in particular in medical and nuclear fields, but also in industry. This device can be of a large size, namely having a surface area of a few dozen to a few hundred cm2, mainly for mamography, or of a small size, namely a few hundred mm2, e.g. for intra-buccal dental imaging. In the latter case, the device can have a total thickness of 3 mm. This compactness is very important so as not to be prejudicial either to the patient or to the dentist.
An imaging device has in known manner a radiation detecting part constituted by one or more detectors transforming the incident radiation into electrical charges and having electrodes for collecting these charges and a part for treating the electric signals resulting from the collection of the charges and constituted by integrated circuits for amplifying said electric signals and an external device for the processing and storage of the signals supplied by said integrated circuits. In addition, each detector is structured in the form of elementary display points or pixels arranged in accordance with the rows and columns of a matrix.
In a first type of detector use is made of a semiconductor material equipped with point electrodes distributed in matrix form. In this type of detector, the electrical connection of the reading circuits to each detector is provided in known manner by pixelwise microsphere hybridization.
Such a system is described by M. Campbell et al (A 10 MHz micro power CMOS front-end for direct readout of pixel detectors, IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium USA, 1989, pp 1-8) and in EP-A-415 541 and EP-A-462 345.
In another detector type use is made of charge coupled devices (CCD) which are directly irradiated. The irradiation of these CCD's leads to a premature ageing, which brings about a sensitivity loss and defective pixels.
In dental radiography, the X-rays used have a high energy of 30 to 60 keV. In addition, the imaging device as a limited thickness of generally 300 to 500 μm, so that it only has an X-ray stopping power of a few per cent (<10%). Therefore 90% of the X-photons (and therefore the dose) are needlessly imposed on the patient, which is a major disadvantage.
For mamography use is made of X-rays with an energy of 15 to 25 keV.
For producing large imaging devices, it is known to use several matrixes or arrays of detectors joined side by side as described in EP-A-245 147 or arranged in the manner of the tiles of a roof as described in EP-A- 421 869.
In EP-A-245 147, the detector is a thick scintillator transforming the ionizing rays into visible light and associated with a photodiode structured as pixels. These imaging devices generally lead to images having shadow areas and information losses.
The invention relates to a novel imaging device using hybridization by microspheres of reading circuits in pixelwise manner which makes it possible to obviate the abovementioned disadvantages.
The invention more specifically relates to a radiation imaging device having at least one planar detector able to transform the radiation into electrical charges and having a common electrode on an input face serving to receive the radiation, a mosaic of point electrodes and metal bands on an output face opposite to the input face, planar integrated circuit chips positioned facing the output face of the detector and incorporating a mosaic of reading circuits, an addressing circuit connected to the reading circuits and metal bands for connecting the reading and addressing circuits to external supply, control and processing circuits for the output signals, each reading circuit being hybridized by a microsphere to a point electrode, the metal bands of the integrated circuit chip being positioned facing the metal bands of the detector and hybridized thereto by microspheres.
Preferably, the detector is formed by a solid semiconductor material coated on one of its faces with the common electrode and on the opposite face with the point electrodes. This semiconductor material can be of any known type such as germanium, silicon, binary, ternary or quaternary alloys of III and V elements or II and VI elements of the periodic classification of elements.
In order to obtain a high detector X-ray stopping power and therefore reduce the irradiation dose in the medical field, use is made of a semiconductor material having a high average atomic number exceeding 30. The average atomic number is defined as the sum of the atomic numbers of simple bodies constituting the detector divided by the number of atoms of material and e.g. for CdTe, average=50. This, for a 80 μm CdTe detector, 99% of a 40 keV X-radiation are stopped and the dose imposed on the patient can be reduced by a factor of 10.
In addition, the forbidden energy band must be as high as possible and exceed 1.30 eV.
This semiconductor is in particular silicon, GaAs or preferably CdTe or HgI2 with a high electrical resistivity (e.g. 109 ohms.cm for CdTe).
The use of a solid, homogeneous, high resistivity semiconductor makes it possible to limit the leakage current between the common electrode and the point electrodes. Moreover, the use of a semiconductor improves the spatial quality of the image and its contrast as compared with the use of a scintillator, because a photon creates charges in a small semiconductor volume (a few μm3 for a 40 keV X-photon), whereas the information can be laterally diffused in the scintillator. This makes it possible to produce a very thick detector (500 to 1000 μm), thereby improving its radiation stopping power.
In addition, the efficiency of a semiconductor is greater than that of a scintillator and can be up to 50%, whilst its sensitivity is also improved. Thus, microcalcifications below 100 um can be detected in a breast.
It is still possible to use a PN junction or a Schottky rectifying contact. The detector can be a scintillator converting the ionizing radiation into visible light, covering a photodiode structured in display pixels and ensuring the transformation of the light into an electrical signal.
For producing a large imaging device, use is made of several detectors joined side by side and arranged in the form of a matrix, said detectors being interconnected and associated with several integrated circuit chips joined side by side, interconnected and also arranged in matrix form.
The integrated circuit chips have the same dimensions as the detectors or dimensions equal to an integral multiple or submultiple of the dimensions of said detectors.
Advantageously, the integrated circuit chips are displaced with respect to the detectors in one or two perpendicular directions contained in a plane parallel to that of the detectors, so as to partially face two or four adjacent detectors.
Advantageously, the electrical connection between two consecutive detectors is ensured by a metal band or strip formed on the chip of the integrated circuits partly facing said two consecutive detectors and by microspheres.
Advantageously, the electrical connection between two consecutive chips is ensured by a metal band formed on the detector partly facing the two consecutive chips and by microspheres.
In a variant, the inter-detector and inter-integrated circuit electrical connections can be respectively displaced between individual columns or rows. This permits a lateral connection of the device according to the invention to the external supply, control and processing circuits for the signals.
In the case of n chips arranged along the same row of the matrix of chips and n specific metal bands 1 to n for carrying to the processing circuit the specific output signals of said n chips, said bands having an input and an output, the output end of the ith band is connected to the input end of the (i+1)th band with 1≦i≦n, i and n being integers with n≧2, the first band of a given chip supplying the specific output signal of said given chip.
The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter relative to non-limitative embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings, which show:

FIG. 2 On a larger scale and in a first variant the connections between a detector and the associated integrated circuit chip according to the invention.
FIG. 3 A variant of the device according to the invention.
FIGS. 4 & 5 Diagrammatically and in section variants of connections between the detector and the associated integrated circuit chip.
FIG. 6 Diagrammatically an embodiment of the connections respectively between the chips and the detectors according to the invention.
The imaging device according to the invention and shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b has several planar detectors 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f arranged side by side, so as to form a matrix of detectors having rows and columns.
Each of these detectors has a high resistivity, homogeneous, solid semiconductor material 6, e.g. silicon, GaAs, CdTe or HgI2 with an input face for receiving ionizing radiation 8 and an output face opposite to the input face and facing integrated circuit chips 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d on silicon. The radiation 8 e.g. comes from an irradiated object to be analyzed.
The input face of each detector 2a-2f has a common electrode 12 completely covering it when the output face supports point electrodes 14 arranged in mosaic-like manner. Thus, each detector 2a-2f is structured by its output face in the form of elementary image points or pixels. The common electrodes 12 and point electrodes 14 are made from metal, such as aluminium and have a thickness of 1 μm. When a semiconductor detector receives ionizing radiation 8, it produces electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor 6 and they are collected by the electrodes 12 and 14.
The thickness of the semiconductor 6 is dependent on the material used, the energy of the radiation to be detected and the envisaged application. For example, use is made of a thickness of 500 μm for detecting X-rays of a few dozen keV with CdTe. In the seine way, the surface dimensions of the point electrodes and therefore the pixels are dependent on the envisaged application.
Typically in radiography, tomography or mamography, these point electrodes are 100�100 μm2 or 80�80 μm2 and are separated by a distance of 20 μm.
Each of the integrated circuit chips 10a-10d has a mosaic of reading circuits 16 forming rows and columns.
The number of integrated circuit chips is equal to the number of detectors and said number is dependent on the planned application. Moreover, the dimensions of the chips and the detectors in the x-y plane parallel to the output faces of the detectors are identical.
In particular, each detector and each chip has in the xy plane a surface of 1.5�1.5 cm2. The dimensions of the point electrodes 14 in the x-y plane are identical to those of the reading circuits 16. The connection between each point electrode 14 and between the contact elements 19 of each reading circuit 16 is ensured by an indium sphere or bell 20.
FIG. 1c is the equivalent circuit diagram of a detector-chip array according to the invention more particularly showing the external supply, control and output connections.
Each detector pixel is represented by a capacitor 22, whose armatures are the electrodes 12 and 14, the electrode 12 being raised to earth potential. The capacitor 22 is connected via an indium ball 20 to an amplifier 24 and then to a switch 26 of the pixel reading MOS transistor type.
These switches 26 are activated successively via the addressing rows and columns using the sequential addressing circuit 28 known as a scanning circuit. Thus, the circuit 28 addresses each detection pixel in succession, producing their address from an external clock H.
The addressing circuit 28 is also connected to an external electric power source supplying a supply voltage Vdd with respect to earth or fixed reference voltage Vss. Moreover, the circuit 28 is connected to an external reading initialization circuit supplying a signal Raz.
Each transistor 26 supplies, following its addressing, a specific output signal Vout of the ionizing radiation 8 which has struck the corresponding pixel. The video signal produced (or succession of signals Vout) is processed in an external information processing and storage device of the microprocessor type.
The invention does not relate to the functionality or arrangement of the different components 24, 26, 28 in each chip, but to the connection of said chips to the supply Vdd, clock H, reading initialization Raz signals, as well as the connection to ground of said chips, via the detectors serving as connection supports.
The invention also relates to the manner of connecting each specific output Vout of each chip to the external processing or storage circuit.
For connecting each chip 10a-10d to the exterior, respectively to the electric power source, to ground, to the initialization circuit, to the clock and to the processing device, the invention proposes supplementary metal bands or strips 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d on the surface of each chip, as shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2. In FIG. 2 the reference 32 represents the final silica passivating layer of the chip having, compared with the prior art, openings 33 facing supplementary metallizations 30a-30d of the chips.
In the same way, the output faces of each detector 2a-2f have supplementary metal bands 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 34e facing the metal bands 30a-30d of the chips. As for the metallizations 30a-30d of the chips, the metallizations 34a-34e of the detectors are covered with a silica passivating layer 38 having openings 40 facing the metallizations 34a-34e . The metallizations 30a-30d and 34a-34e are e.g. made from 1 μm thick aluminium.
According to the invention, the connection of these bands 30a-30d to the bands 34a-34e is provided by means of indium microspheres 36, like the connection of the point electrodes 14 to the contact elements 19 of the transistors 24 of the reading circuits.
According to a first variant shown in FIG. 2, the metallizations 34a-34e formed on each detector are electrically insulated from the point electrodes 14 by insulating strips 42 having surface dimensions greater than those of the metallizations 34a-34e . These insulating strips 42 are in particular made from 5 μm thick polyimide.
As shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b and in accordance with the invention, the chips 10a-10d are displaced relative to the detectors by approximately one spacing in accordance with a direction e.g. x or, as shown in FIG. 3, in accordance with two directions (x-y). Thus, each chip partly faces two or four detectors, e.g. the chip 10a facing the detectors 2a, 2b (FIGS. 1a-2b) and possibly also the detectors 2d, 2e.
According to the invention, the detectors 2a-2f are electrically interconnected by electrical connections connected to the metallizations 34a-34d and the chips 10a-10d are electrically interconnected by electrical connections connected to the metallizations 30c, 30d in such a way that the input signals (Vdd, Vss, Raz, H) are laterally applied to the imaging device and the output signals Vout are also recovered on one of the sides of the imaging device.
According to the invention, the electrical connections between two consecutive detectors are constituted by metallizations formed on the chip facing the edges of these two detectors to be connected (cf. FIG. 1b) and microspheres 36 connecting the metallizations of said chip to the metallizations of said detectors.
For example, the metallizations 30a of the chip 10a is connected to the peripheral metallizations 34a, 34b respectively of the detectors 2a and 2b, via facing spheres 36, thus ensuring the interconnection of said two detectors. In the same way, the metallization 30b of the chip 10b is connected to the peripheral metallizations 34c and 34d respectively of the PG,11 detectors 2b and 2c, via the facing spheres 36, thus ensuring the interconnection of these two detectors.
In parallel, the connections between two consecutive chips are obtained with the aid of metallizations formed on the detector facing the edges respectively of the two chips to be connected and microspheres 36 facing these metallizations. For example (FIG. 1b) the metallizations 34e of the detector 2b ensures the connection of the metallizations 30d, respectively of the chips 10a and 10b, via facing indium spheres 36 and therefore the interconnection of the chips 10a and 10b.
FIG. 4 shows a variant of the metallizations 34a-34e of the output face of the detectors, more particularly making it possible to disengage the point electrodes 14 from said metallizations. For this purpose, on either side of each metallization 34a, 34e use is made of two conductive strips 44, 46 and a metallization 48 interposed between the electrode insulant 42 and the metallizations 34a, 34e, 44 and 46. The metallization band 48 is also insulated from the metallizations 34a, 34e, 44 and 46 by an insulant 50, e.g. of polyimide.
The metallizations 44, 46 are produced at the same time as the metallizations 34a, 34e in the seine aluminium layer. The layer 48 is formed by etching a 1 μm thick aluminium layer and serves as a shield between the point electrodes 14 and the metallizations 34a, 34e. To complete the said lateral shield effect, the metallizations 44, 46 are connected to earth or to a fixed potential.
FIG. 5 shows another variant of the metallizations of the output face of the detectors for ensuring the interconnection thereof. In this variant, metallizations such as 34a and 34e are constituted by point electrodes. This solution suffers from the disadvantage of eliminating the point electrodes at the locations intended for the interconnection metallizations of the detectors and the chips. However, on the other hand this solution is much simpler to achieve than that shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
The supply signals Vdd, earth Vss, reading initialization signals Raz and the clock H are supplied simultaneously and in parallel to all the chips 10a-10d. Consequently these signals are applied to connections common to all the chips. However, the output signal Vout is specific to each chip 10a-10d .
For radiography purposes, it is necessary to individualize the signals Vout supplied by each chip. For this purpose, it is possible to personalize each chip in such a way that the signal Vout exits from each chip at a different point. This requires a personalization of each chip at the time of manufacture, which is prejudicial to mass production and makes the imaging device somewhat more complicated.
In addition, for the output signals Vout of the different device chips to all pass out on the same side of the device in parallel, the invention proposes an original connection of the different outputs, as shown in FIG. 6.
FIG. 6 shows four chips (n=4) 101, 102, 103, 104 of the same row of the chip matrix, displaced in the x direction with respect to the detectors 21, 22, 23, 24 of the same detector matrix row. Each chip 10i (with i between 1 and 4) has four supplementary metallizations 301, 302, 303 and 304 (shown in thin line form). In the same way each detector 2i has supplementary metallizations 341, 342, 343, 344, shown in the form of bands.
According to the invention, the output end of the metallization 30i of each chip 10i is connected to the input end of the metallization 30i+1 of the following chip 10i+1, via the metallization 34i formed on the detector 2i, respectively facing two successive chips 10i and 10i+1, the connection being ensured by means of microspheres.
Thus, the output end of the metallization 302 of the chip 101 is e.g. connected to the input end of the metallization 303 of the chip 102 via the metallization 342 formed on the detector 21 facing the chips 101 and 102 and with the aid of microspheres facing said metallizations.
Thus, the output 304 of the chip 104 supplies the signal Vout from the chip 101. In the same way, the output of the metallization 303 of the chip 104 produces the signal Vout from the chip 102 and the output of the metallization 301 of the chip 104 supplies the signal Vout from the chip 104.
This connection method makes it possible to produce identical chips with their contact hole supplying the voltage Vout at the same location, thus facilitating their manufacture. This individualization of the output signals is made possible by the use of microspheres, the displacement by one spacing of the detectors with respect to the chips and the respective use of detectors as the metallization support between the chips for their connection, via microspheres, and chips as the metallization support between the detectors for their connection, via microspheres.
Instead of producing the metallizations 30i of the chips in the x direction and the metallizations 34i of the detectors in an oblique manner (FIG. 6), it is possible to produce the metallizations 34i parallel to the x direction and in this case orients in an oblique manner the metallizations 30i of the chips.
In the case of an intra-buccal dental imaging device, the system of detectors and integrated circuit chips can be placed in a tight, electrically insulated box or case having an X-ray-transparent material window.

Little poem about dysfunctional relationships where co-dependency has crept into the equation.
What would you like me to say?
Do you want me to go or should I stay?
Tell me because I don't see into minds
And I can't always read between the lines
So just tell me what it is you need me to do
And I swear I'll see it through
But what I cannot handle is all this silence
Is this punishment? Or recompense for some unintentional offence?
If so please tell me what I have done so blindly?
For you to treat me so unkindly
You and I seem bound together
For always and for never
Know that I would give anything to be free
Of this hold you have over me
But I guess I am just too weak
To find the freedom I so desperately seek
Why can't I seem to let you go?
After all this time I have nothing real to show
Except for these emotional scars
And these figurative prison bars

I was never a big Haley fan during AI, but she just sang the National Anthem at the Detroit Tigers' home opener and it was pretty dang good.

I was never a big Haley fan during AI, but she just sang the National Anthem at the Detroit Tigers' home opener and it was pretty dang good.
I saw her also....was watching for the Boston side LOL.....and she did a great job
Nothing else was on so I watched a recording of the DC Cherry Blossom festival parade. She, Siobhann, and Javiar (winner of The Voice) were on it. It was such a bad production. I'm surprised Katie C. agreed to anchor it. I didn't like her song, something about "Free"? Really didn't like Siobhann's song either (it was a gospel song complete with choir in robes). The only person who sounded good was Javiar.
She sang her new single, "Free" on the AI Results show a few weeks ago...at that time a cage was involved.
I blame the really bad production of the show. The colors were off, the sound was off, the dubbing was a mess. She was dressed like a mess lol. The crowd seemed to love it so I'm thinking it sounded better in person. I have no idea if they have it online or not but those who are fans of hers (or the others that were on) might want to watch it.
The video is up on You Tube. Just Google DC Cherry Blossom Parade Hailey Reinhart. There is a certain blogger that has the video of this performance and Siobhan's as well. For some reason these sound better than what I saw on TV!
I still think she should have won her season, better by far that Scotty McDreary. Anywho, here is her new single. I think she may have a hit with this one.
Whoa! Thanks for that razorbacker! I loved Haley her season but truthfully haven't been following her. I love her raspy voice and love her jazzy style of singing. This is most definitely not jazz, but I think it's great. She's coming to NYC soon. I may have to look into getting tickets.

Ruby Fruit
She pulled the large fruit from the refrigerator and a knife from the drawer. After getting the plastic cutting board out, she laid the fruit on top of it and raised the knife, sinking it deep in the skin of the grapefruit. Juices spilled over her hand, causing the small cut under her nail to sting. Splitting the fruit apart, the ruby red flesh stared up at her and she licked her lips in anticipation. The first sour bite induced a low moan of appreciation. Breakfast was served.

A girl stood alone in a simple brick house, looking over the chaotic mess of the place she had once called home. Angry tears started to form in her eyes as memories of the past danced in her head, powerful and haunting. Memories of the odious whore she had for a mother, insular and drivin half mad by narcotic abuse. A revolting degenerate of a man playing the father figure to the girl and her older brother, his smell was enough to twist her stomach violently into tight knots. Her brother had abandoned this rotten dump long before it had been left by those monsters. Now all she had left was her cat.
A resounding crash broke through her recollections and reminded her the cat was present.
"Hammy" she called to the black feline slinking around a corner. He looked up into her tear-strewn face and padded toward her.
"You understand me don't you, Hammy?" she asked, as if she expected him to answer. His words, she thought, if he could speak, would be comforting in the shell of her broken, desolate home. Instead of answering, Hammy crept away, his attention now fixed on a flitting insect which he chased out to the backyard.
The girl sighed and trudged after her cat. The only family, or even friend she seemed to have anymore. Cats couldn't hurt your feelings, couldn't betray your trust, and they certainly couldn't break your spirit with menial words and brutal beatings.
The ghosts of memories returned as she passed the rooms in the house. Someone would lash out, yelling and screaming and the fight would be on, booming callous words were thrown around. Had it always been this way? She couldn't quite remember her life as anything but habitual violence. It was crazy to still be there, holding onto the idea that someone would come to save her.
As soon as she stepped into the clutteres garden to find Hammy, the rain drenched her.
"Hammy...c'mon inside." She coaxed. Worry creased her face as she realised Hammy was nowhere to be seen.
"Hammy...Jeez! wehere are you?"
A strong wind sent a trail of goosebumps over her freezing limbs. It was stupid to feel abandoned now by a cat. Everyone else had left or betrayed her, now it was Hammys' turn. There was a female cat down the road that he persued sometimes, and had even fathered a litter of kittens to once. Even Hammy had a girlfriend, a family. Not some savages in human form posing as parents, friends and lovers. The girl felt so terribly alone.
"Come back Hammy." She cried forlornly, not at all expecting him to obey her plea or to even hear her. She stepped slowly back into the gloomy house, dripping puddles of water with each slow, melancholy step she took. She didn't care. There was no one else to care either. There was no one left to do anything. She lay on a dilapitated, grubby couch, full of hopelessness and a painful longing for the warmth of genuine love and care. Longing to have Hammy back. She knew Hammy couldn't provide much, but he was warm, a friend in her frigid world.
"Please come back." Her heavy lids closed over her tired eyes.
She couldn't tell how long she'd been asleep. She'd spent hours drifting in and out of dreams, walking around occasionally searching for her best friend, the cat.
A sudden knock at the door woke her and sent her heart racing so furiously, as if it were trying to beat right through her chest to escape the fear pulsing through her body.
Curiosity won the internal debate over whether to answer the door or not, and she hesitantly turned the knob.
The girl stared at the man standing at the doorstep in amazement, still groggy and bleary-eyed from sleep. She rubbed them in disbelief as she took in the vision of her older brother, with Hammy in his arms.
"Sorry I took so long..."
She hugged him, and her cat before he could finish his apology. Hot tears welled up and spilled out from her eyes as she was overcome with emotion.
He'd come back to save her from the unrelenting bleakness she's endured.
Hammy had returned too. Finally, after weeks of grey, stormy skies, the sun burst through the clouds and cast light on the girl, her brother and HAmmy the cat; Her family.

Pros / It improved boot-up speed by 32.5 percent.
Cons / The support lacks adequate contact options.
Verdict / System Mechanic is the best PC system utility app because it performed better than all the other products we reviewed in almost every category.
Editor's Note: System Mechanic 16.5 is now available. Clicking the Buy button will take you to this version for purchase. We will evaluate, rank and review System Mechanic 16.5 when we next update PC system utility software reviews. Meanwhile, enjoy our review below about System Mechanic 16.
Developed by iolo technologies, System Mechanic 16 is a full suite of PC system utility tools. Each tool is designed to optimize and maintain your computer's performance, and the interface facilitates this in one easy-to-use app. In our tests, System Mechanic was the best-performing PC cleaner in every facet – overall improvement, boot-up improvement and diagnostic consistency. For these reasons, System Mechanic 16 earns the Top Ten Review Gold Award for best PC system utility software.
To find the best PC tuneup software, we wanted to see how well each product improved out test computer, which we deliberately set up to be slow and frustrating. We used PCMark 8 to benchmark the performance of the test PC both before and after optimization. The benchmarking tests looked at word and data processing, graphics processing, web browsing and video chat quality.
We also benchmarked the boot-up speed improvement and looked closely at the app's diagnostic consistency. We performed multiple rounds of testing on each product to account for variables. After testing, we averaged the results and System Mechanic was the clear winner.
- Overall Improvement
- Boot Up Speed Improvement
- Word & Data Processing Improvement
- Video Chat Quality Improvement
- Diagnostic Consistency
- This is the overall improvement made to our test computer after multiple tests.Higher is Better
System Improvement
System Mechanic's overall improvement to our test computer was 12.5 percent. This was 2.5 percent better than the second-best improvement and 4 percent above the average. However, it's worth noting that the improvement is too little in most areas for it to be noticeable. In other words, even with a 12.5 percent improvement in performance, you won't notice it without benchmarking software until the improvement is over 20 percent.
Most facets of performance were only improved by milliseconds – web browsing and video chat improved by less than 2 percent. However, graphics processing was improved by 3.89 percent, and word and data processing improved by 6 percent. As such, you shouldn't expect this app to turn back the clock on your computer and make it run like new again. That's just not realistic, but this improvement does reflect excellent maintenance.
The most impressive improvement was the boot-up speed, which was 32.5 percent faster after optimization. So while you may not see dramatic improvements to PC speed, you will see excellent improvements to boot-up speed. For example, a 32.5 percent increase to a one-minute boot-up speed is a 19.5 second improvement.
Convenience Features
System Mechanic 16 is one of only a two products in our lineup that received a 100 percent diagnostic consistency score. To find the diagnostic consistency, we scanned our test computer, recorded the issues it discovered, repaired the issues, and then we scanned the computer again. Ideally, the app shouldn't find any new errors. And with System Mechanic 16, that was the result. This shows that the diagnostic tool knows what it's looking for and isn't trying to exaggerate the results.
For ease of use, System Mechanic earned an A. The interface is well designed with collapsible descriptions for each of the tools. You can also view the details of issues before you fix them. You can also view the priority level of the startup programs so you know whether it's safe to disable the apps.
Advanced Tools
System Mechanic is loaded with advanced features. While you can scan and fix repairs with one click, the advanced tools allow you to dive deeper into how your PC's system works so you can customize it to fit your needs.
You can back up and restore your system, recover accidentally deleted files, repair shortcuts and the registry, defragment hard drives, optimize a solid-state drive, and optimize your PC's security. The only advanced tool it lacks is a file-encryption tool, but only a few PC system utility apps feature this tool.
Help & Support
The biggest downside to System Mechanic is iolo's support. While you can contact support by phone, the software developer lacks email support and live chat. You have to submit support claims through a ticket system.
In the course of our review, we submitted two claim tickets and have never received a response. On a positive note, the license comes with unlimited installations, which means you can install it on as many computers as you own. In addition, the site includes a FAQs page with detailed answers to common questions and issues.
System Mechanic 16 is the best PC system utility software in our review. After many rounds of testing, it outperformed every other app. It produced the best overall improvement, the best boot-up improvement, and the best diagnostic consistency. When you combine the exceptionally easy interface and the many advanced tools, it's one of the best choices for a PC maintenance app.

A little overview of how we processed our scan. I just bought an Iphone SE so I thought why not give it a bash. Time was a factor here as I had to get the Alien to the other artists for their attempts, this effected the scan somewhat.
Taking the photos of the model in an office environment on a glossy wood table with light streaming through big windows. Not ideal I know, but I did take over 400 photographs! Using the manual 'touch to focus' feature on the iSight camera worked well but struggled to focus on the thinner parts of plastic, like the arms and hands for eg. Pumped it through Photoscan on high and you can see the results below.

Monday, for those of us who didn't have to travel, was tremendous fun. The old London was removed and a new one put in its place. From the top of my hill, SE10 looked pure St Petersburg. Without cars, there was a prelapsarian still and calm; in the snowfall, the centuries dissolved.
We shouldn't, therefore, overdo the outrage that virtually every London public service also dissolved. Most people — students, schoolchildren, public-sector workers and others in secure jobs — will have welcomed this cast-iron excuse for a three-day weekend.
With snow, however, as with certain other white powders, indulgence is followed by reckoning: in both cases, impaired physical function and unkind newspaper headlines. This morning, amid the ice and grubby slush that already seems to have been here forever, some schools are still closed, some trains still disrupted, some buses still not running. In Greenwich, we have been told that the rubbish which has been sitting outside our houses since last week will not be collected until next week.
Yet it is, at the time of writing, three days since the last flake of snow here. If one single snowfall, lasting a few hours, can close London for a day, and disrupt it for most of a week, we really need to start praying that there will be no more. Because if there is, and if the falls come closer together, we could realistically be shut down for much of the next month.
If there were a couple more nights like Sunday over, say, a five-day period, we could suffer, quite quickly, food and fuel shortages along the lines of the 2000 petrol crisis. Shops depending on just-in-time deliveries could soon run out of stock. Factories would close for lack of parts, offices for lack of workers. The economic crisis would be multiplied many times over.
There would also be — already is — a reputational cost. Across the world, newspapers and broadcasters have been laughing at London under headlines such as "British can't handle a little snow". Much more of that could undo the centre-of-the-universe, anything-is-possible image that the capital's boosters like to project to foreign money.
That is why it was so disappointing that Boris Johnson's first response to the crisis was to praise TfL's effort to run a transport service as "heroic". It was the polar opposite. For the whole of Monday, the Circle line was closed, even though it runs almost entirely underground. For the first few hours that day, even the Waterloo & City Line was out. This line is 100 per cent underground.
Above all, of course, at around midnight on Sunday the entire bus service was suspended, ostensibly for health and safety reasons. What about the health and safety of the thousands of people abandoned in the middle of the night to walk home in a snowstorm?
Since TfL is also responsible for gritting some of the main roads on which the buses run, it was fun to watch it desperately trying to square the circle in the morning media. It wasn't our roads that were unsafe, they said — it was those evil boroughs, neglecting the side streets which lead to the bus depots.
In fact, the huge majority of bus depots are on main roads, and several of the biggest, such as Camberwell and Walworth, are on TfL main roads. Between 7 and 7.30am on Monday, I clicked through the dozens of live traffic camera pictures on the BBC London website. In nearly every location, the roads, whether cleared by the boroughs or TfL, were passable for buses, with plenty of black tarmac showing through.
No one expects London to prepare like Toronto for something that happens so rarely. No one expects a hundred per cent service on a snow day (not that we get one on a normal day). But we do expect our public services to make an effort, perhaps even a "heroic" one.
Many Londoners, mainly the poorer ones, did suffer this week because TfL and the railways made no effort. Those who could not afford a taxi home on Sunday night. Those hundreds of thousands of casual workers who could not get to work and therefore did not get paid. If you live from week to week, losing a fifth of your income is a disaster.
What happened on Monday was not primarily a problem of snow — it was a problem of will. It was not that the roads lacked grit but that the people in charge of the transport network did. What happened was not due primarily to "adverse weather conditions" but to adverse bureaucratic conditions.
Our railways' ludicrous structure makes buck-passing inevitable. The train operators gave up without a fight because of this simple calculation: snowy track is Network Rail's problem, not ours. No fines for not trying, but a lot of hassle if we do try.
Extreme weather, like other extreme circumstances, has a way of illuminating what people's core priorities are. Our buses, we have learned, are run by people whose priority in extremis is no longer their duty to us — to provide the best possible service, the service we pay so much for and on which London depends. Instead, their priority is to eliminate all risk and inconvenience to themselves.
It illuminates some of the politics, too. Boris is supposed to be the public's representative amid all this bureaucratic self-interest. This week's events will fuel some Tories' worry — partly overdone, but partly justified — that he is becoming "captured" by City Hall, too comfortable with the bureaucracy.
Boris has been Mayor for only nine months, not long enough to overturn TfL's complacent culture; he need not have taken ownership of its failures this week. But instead of spending his Monday knocking heads, he spent it making excuses.

The Wild Geese, They Call Once More
At the end of the drive, there where we took one last look back toward the house from which we came, two sturdy posts stood as guards. They were four foot cubes of grey stone and mortar, and upon each stood a stone grey lion frozen in time. They had not the look of ferocity, but of dignity, a plea for respect by all those who chose to enter in.
As we made our choice to take the road right and onward I presumed, I saw the weathered bronze plaques attached to each. And in each was etched into its rich patina was that symbol, I had only but recently first came upon, but had already nearly forgotten, those interlocking W's. And my soul was overwhelmed with a sudden understanding this is who I am and from whence I came.
With a touch of his hand once more on my shoulder and with kind and gentle glimmer of a smile, I knew that he knew that I had begun to understand.
We had been all these miles and moments bringing to life the life that would be mine. The Old Man Oak was now within me, his lantern's glow, it now warmed my soul. My life 's journey now would be a discovery of all the legacy that time had poured into my beginning, my life would be the story of my making it all something more.
There were many quiet, thoughtful steps on the road we took, a road that led us onto an endless plain, wheat fields out of harvest, an sea of empty to cross. But cross we did. And as we did, the snow upon the ground began to thin as did the cold upon it.
When the field became more tufts of last harvest's straw than it did the winter's snow, we heard approaching in the distance the honking of wild geese coming home.
We stopped to listen, Granddad and I, and to search for them in the vast grey skies. "There!" I pointed to where the road behind us met the horizon.
"Yes, the wild geese are returning and hey shall lead us home, as they always have when the winter has gone on too long," my grandfather said in tones that were wrapped in wistful joy.
And we walked on. And we walked on. Above in endless parade, the wild geese showed us the way.
It was near the end of the wide plain, before we re-entered the wooded hills, that grandfather uttered a most strange thing, "We are as the wild geese. We travel here and we travel there, and every place we go is home, but we always return to where we first were born. Lad, you must always journey somewhere, but you must always remember to come home."

Nature's Plus, Spiru-Tein High Protein Energy Meal, Cappuccino, 2.25 lbs
Posted by Reviewer2073382 on Sep 01, 2010 | Verified Purchase
We like this. It tastes very good, especially to coffee drinkers! We also like buying the larger size. It's much more economical, especially at I Herb!
My Favorite!
Posted by Reviewer2391756 on Feb 04, 2009 | Verified Purchase
My whole family drinks these shakes,we drink the strawberry, vanilla and this one, but I have to say this is my favorite. I have even had it heated when it was really cold outside and that was good too.
Great breakfast!
Posted by Reviewer1958364 on Mar 05, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I use this product (usually in Chocolate flavor) for breakfast every morning. Even mixed with water, it keeps me satisfied for a number of hours. It acts as my multi-vitamin, and I don't quite as good the days I skip it. Vanilla works well for smoothies; it will turn green when mixed up!
great nutition

Easiest Way to eat Breakfast in the Morning
Posted by Reviewer1454844 on Nov 05, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I am not a big fan of the Cappuccino but it somehow worked. I make my meal replacement with 3oz of yogurt, 5-6oz of water and a little bit of ice. Sometimes I add Vanilla flavor Lean Shake (from GNC)to it and when I do I only do half a spoon of the Cappuccino. The taste is good but I will purchase the strawberry or vanilla next time. I can honestly say this is the most nutricious meal replacement because most others dont even provide half of the vitamins and minerals this product does. If you are going to replace your meal, make sure you buy one of the Spiru-Tein shakes. I LOVE THEM!

On April 9, 2006, Maureen G. -- the wife of Cadre member Jeff G. -- went home to be with her Lord. Her passing was not sudden, as she had suffered for some time from the cancer that took her life. I can think of no greater heartbreak save perhaps the passing of one's child. In this account of his wife's suffering and death, as well his own response to these events, Jeff explores the effect and role of pain and suffering in the life of a Christian.
I came to respect and count Jeff as a friend before his wife died. Having gotten to know him better since, and especially after reading this article, my respect for him has increased yet more. Through Maureen's passing, and Jeff's faith, I have been encouraged in my own walk and have reexamined my own priorites. I trust that if you read Jeff's account that you will experience the same.

It was also clear that Lex was simply waiting for NK to complete its formation whereupon it would wipe out 4/5ths of the US and devastate many other countries too (as depicted in Lexs map). So the military response that you speak of would be virtually non-existent.
You genuinely think the military would have taken THAT long to respond to a threat that big??????

This is cinema. If you want to see Clark going to the bathroom, well you can watch Lois&Clark.
That's what they do on a tv budget.
If I were to go into the complextities and subtlties involved in making a character more accesible to an audience, I would end up alienating alot of people from this debate... and i'd be giving myself a headache that only a qualification in film studies deserves...
But I can tell you for certain, that I found Matt Murdoch in Daredevil more accesible. I found every member of Fantastic Four more accesible (Actually, Sue Storm I'll give you
)I found Green Lantern more accesible, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America. I found every single other movie interpretation of a superhero MORE accesible than I found SR's Superman...

It's always nice to know your not the ONLY one in the village!
Just accept that this is the direction they have taken.
Then, you can either decide this version isn't for you and stop watching.
you can decide to enjoy it for what it is - an elseworlds tale.
'In Elseworlds, super-heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, and others that can't, couldn't or shouldn't exist. The result is stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.'

I visited Long Lake (43°43'16.45" N 113°50'06.40" W) over the weekend and took pictures of a frog. I have a Peterson Field Guide for Western Reptiles and Amphibians, second edition. The frog looks like the mountain yellow-legged frog shown on Plate 14 (and I would be happy to supply pictures but I don't see a way to attach a picture here). The field guide says that mountain yellow-legged frogs do not occur in Idaho.
No, the mountain yellow-legged frog does not occur in Idaho. However, we do have a closely related species called the Columbia spotted frog, which looks quite similar to the yellow-legged frog. I expect you saw a Columbia spotted frog at Long Lake. If you are interested, we have some web content that is still being developed and therefore not yet linked to the IDFG webpage that will allow you to see a list of the amphibians that do occur in the state. We have photographs of some of these, including the Columbia spotted frog. If you are interested, go to this link https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/species/taxa and choose "Amphibians" from the drop-down list under the Category box. This should filter a list of all of our amphibians. I apologize that this content is not fully developed, but it will give you some accurate species lists at this time.

Magda: House GuestMature
I had gone home early, not wanting to hang around at the office - the newbies had been a nightmare and I wasn't in the mood for a meeting with Andy to see how my first day had gone so I told him that I wasn't feeling terribly well and he let me go.
I relaxed into my sofa, picking up the remote for the tv and putting a classical music channel on. I closed my eyes and let the dulcet tones wash over me, soothing me more than anything else could. At least I had a fair bit of money to set me up thanks to Andy, bless him.
There was a knock at the door. He must be early. I grabbed the remote and shut it off in seconds. Dropping it back on the table, I went over to the door and opened it with a wide smile on my face.
"Hey. I'm Alfie. Tilda's brother."
"I know who you are!" We shared a little laugh as I looked him up and down. He offered me his hand awkwardly and I took it, shaking weakly. "Come in."
Alfie was taller than me with hair nearing the same length - it suited him better than me though. He stepped into my apartment, looking around.
"It's only small," I explained, "But, to me, it's home."
"Where do you want me?" He asked, smiling a little more than looked natural.
A strange thought passed through my mind - 'Well…' - but before it had chance to grow, I caught myself looking at the mirror and stopped, closing the door to my bedroom. I pointed to the door. "This is my room, so if you need anything, just give me a knock. I'm afraid you're relegated to the sofa." I smiled weakly.
"That's fine!" He sat down, looking around again.
I decided to give him the guided tour, standing still and turning on the spot. "Kitchen, bathroom, my room, lounge. Not a great deal to it really." He smiled. Again with the smiling.
"Is something wrong, Alfie?" I asked tentatively.
"What makes you say that?" He got up and stepped towards me, making me nervous.
"Well it was all a bit unexpected, with you coming down and all. Has something happened?"
He nodded. "Something big." He said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, immediately regretting saying that.
"I don't really know you."
"Some people think that makes it easier." I smiled.
"You're Tilda's best friend, yeah?"
"I like to think so. What does that matter?"
"And she trusts you?"
"Yep. Where is this going, Alfie?"
"Well then I can trust you."
He made me promise not to tell Tilda what he was about to tell me. Never a good start.

When someone else uses your name without your consent, you are the victim of identity theft and may benefit from the services of an identity theft attorney. There are many types of identity theft: financial identity theft occurs when someone uses your name and social security number to make purchases; criminal identity theft occurs when someone gets arrested and gives your name as theirs; identity cloning occurs when someone pretends to be you; and commercial identity theft occurs when someone uses your business' name and reputation to get credit. Identity theft is not always easy to detect, nor is it easy to stop. An identity theft fraud lawyer will recognize the signs when a theft has taken place, and know best how to help you get your identity back.
