The present invention relates to drivers for transferring data between a computer and a peripheral device, and in particular to a data transfer driver that receives multiple byte data words from a computer and retransmits them as sequences of data bytes to a peripheral device.
Computers typically process data words having more than one 8-bit byte whereas many peripheral devices such as printers, modems and the like are able to receive data only one byte at a time. Thus in order for a computer to transmit, for example, a 32-bit data word to such a peripheral device, the computer must transmit each byte of the data word in sequence. Such an operation can require a large number of computer processing cycles, particularly when the computer is relatively fast, the peripheral device is relatively slow, and the computer and peripheral device communicate using asynchronous handshaking protocols.
Bi-directional asynchronous ports of a computer are typically connected to a peripheral device through a cable plugged into a cable connector mounted on the computer's chassis. In order to test the operation of an asynchronous port, the cable is disconnected from the cable connector and a test plug is plugged into the cable connector. The test plug cross-couples input and output data and control signal pins on the connector so that data transmitted by the computer out of the port is returned to the computer through the port in the opposite direction. Thus, the test plug enables the computer to test port operation by sending data to itself, but an operator must first physically replace the cable with the test plug. Therefore, such port test method cannot be performed automatically without operator intervention.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a parallel data transfer driver transfers data from a computer to a peripheral device. The data transfer driver includes a write buffer for receiving a parallel data word comprising a plurality of data bytes transmitted by the computer and for sequentially retransmitting each of the data bytes, one byte at a time, to the peripheral device. The driver also includes control circuitry to send and receive handshaking control signals to and from the computer and the peripheral device to control asynchronous data receipt and transmission by the write buffer. The data transfer driver frees the computer from having to transfer the data to the peripheral device one byte at a time so that while the data transfer driver is transmitting individual data bytes to the peripheral device, the computer may carry out other operations.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the data transfer driver further includes a read buffer that receives each data byte retransmitted by the write buffer to the peripheral device, as well as the handshaking control signals produced by the peripheral device. When requested to do so by signals from the computer, the control circuit output enables the read buffer. When output enabled, the read buffer transmits the data and handshaking control signals back to the computer. The read buffer enables the computer to automatically test functioning of the data transfer driver without human intervention. It also allows the computer to monitor the handshaking signals produced by the peripheral device to ensure that it is functioning properly.
In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, the data transfer driver may be set to operate selectively in either a handshaking or a streaming mode of operation. In the handshaking mode, the data transfer driver transmits data bytes to the peripheral device asynchronously, monitoring handshaking signals from the peripheral device and refraining from transmitting each data byte until the peripheral device indicates that it is ready to accept it. In the streaming mode, the data transfer driver transmits data bytes to the peripheral device at regular intervals and ignores handshaking signals from the peripheral device.
It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide an improved driver for receiving multiple byte data words from a data processing device and for retransmitting them to a peripheral device in the form of sequences of single data bytes.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved data transfer driver for transferring data from a data processing device to a peripheral device which permits the data processing device to test operation of the driver and to monitor the handshaking signals produced by the peripheral device.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved data transfer driver for transferring data from a data processing device to a peripheral device selectively in either handshaking or streaming modes.
The subject matter of the present invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of this specification. However, both the organization and method of operation of the invention, together with further advantages and objects thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters refer to like elements.

With reference to FIG. 1, a data transfer driver 10 in accordance with the present invention is adapted to convey output data produced by a data processing device such as a computer 12 as input data to a peripheral device 14 such as a printer. Computer 12, suitably comprising a Motorola model 68020 microprocessor, produces its output data in the form of a 32-bit (four byte) parallel data word on a first data bus 16 of data transfer driver 10. Peripheral device 14 receives its input data in the form of a sequence of 8-bit data bytes on a second data bus 18. Data transfer driver 10 includes a write buffer 20 for receiving the four-byte data word conveyed on bus 16 from computer 12 and for sequentially retransmitting data bytes in that word to peripheral device 14 via bus 18. Data transfer driver 10 also includes a control logic circuit 22 for producing a WRITE signal controlling data reception and a set of output enable signals OEB for controlling retransmission of each byte by write buffer 20. Control logic circuit 22 communicates with computer 12 and peripheral device 14 via handshaking control signals 24 and 26, respectively, so as to coordinate asynchronous data transmission from computer 12 to write buffer 20 and from write buffer 20 to peripheral device 14. To transfer data to peripheral device 14, computer 12 transfers a 32-bit data word to driver 10. Driver 10 then auto transfers the data word to peripheral device 14 on a byte-by-byte basis without further intervention by computer 12, thereby freeing computer 12 to carry out other operations during the data transfer.
Data transfer driver 10 also includes a read buffer 28 that receives each data byte transmitted on bus 18 as well as the handshaking control signals 26 transmitted from peripheral device 14 to control logic circuit 22. To test operation of data transfer driver 10, or to check the states of handshaking signals produced by peripheral device 14, computer 12 may request control logic circuit 22 via control signals 24 to output enable read buffer 28 via a READ control signal. When read buffer 28 is output enabled, its input data byte and control signals are placed on data bus 16 for transmission back to computer 12. When testing operation of driver 10 computer 12 may transmit a data word to write buffer 20 and then read via read buffer 28 each data byte subsequently transferred from write buffer 20 to peripheral device 14. The computer can also monitor the states of handshaking signals produced by the peripheral device to ensure that it is working properly. Such tests can be carried out automatically during start-up of computer 12 without need for human intervention.
Data transfer driver 10 of FIG. 1 is shown in more detailed block diagram form in FIG. 2. With reference to FIG. 2, the bits of the 32-bit (four byte) data word on bus 16 connecting computer 12 to write buffer 20 are labeled from D0 to D31. A first data byte (Byte 0) thereof includes bits D24-D31, a second data byte (Byte 1) includes data bits D16-D23, a third data byte (Byte 2) includes data bits D8-D15, and a fourth data byte (Byte 3) includes data bits D0-D7. Write buffer 20 comprises a set of 8-bit registers 30, each having as input a separate one of the 8-bit bytes of the 32-bit data word on bus 16. The 8-bit output of each register 30 of write buffer 20 is connected to the 8-bit data bus 18 between peripheral device 14 and write buffer 20. Each write buffer register 30 is input enabled by a common WRITE signal produced by a read/write logic circuit 32 and is output enabled by a separate output enable signal OEB0-OEB3 produced by a state machine 34, hereinafter referred to as "state machine A". Since only one output enable signal OEB0-3 is asserted at a time, the data byte stored in only one of the write buffer registers 30 is placed on bus 18 at any given time.
Read buffer 28 receives a data byte on data bus 18 from the currently output enabled write buffer register 30 and also receives three binary handshaking control signals (FAULT, BUSY, and ACK) from peripheral device 14. Read buffer 28 passes its input data byte and the control signals to computer 12 in bits D16-31 on data bus 18 when output enabled by a signal produced by read/write logic circuit 32.
Read/write logic circuit 32 receives a chip select signal CS produced by a decoder 33 in response to an address signal ADDR and an address strobe signal AS from computer 12. Read/write circuit 32 also receives a data strobe signal DS, and a read/write control signal R/W from computer 12 and receives a low true "EMPTY" output signal of an OR gate 36 having output enable signals OEB0-OEB1 produced by state machine A as its inputs. Read/write logic circuit 32 produces in response to logical combinations of its input signals the READ signal output enabling read buffer 28, the WRITE signal input enabling write buffer registers 30, and a handshaking signal DSACK transmitted to computer 12. Read/write logic circuit 32 implements the following Boolean expressions:
In the above expressions the "*" signal represents the logical AND function and the "-" symbol represents the logical NOT function.
State machine A is suitably clocked by a 5 MHz clock signal (not shown) from computer 12 so that state changes occur at 200 nanosecond intervals. State machine A has as its inputs a set of four data bits LBE0-LBE3 stored in a set of four single bit registers 38 (only one register 38 is shown), an ABORT signal produced by an OR gate 40, and a DONE signal produced by another state machine 42, hereinafter referred to as "state machine B". Each register 38 has as input a separate single bit control signal produced by computer 12 and is input enabled by the WRITE signal output of read/write logic circuit 32. Each register 38 is reset by a separate one of four byte clear signals BYTECLR0-BYTECLR3 produced by a set of four OR gates 44 (only one OR gate 44 is shown). Each OR gate 40 has as its inputs a RESET and a PRIME signal provided by a control register 46, and a FAULT signal provided by peripheral device 14. Each 0R gate 44 has as inputs the RESET and PRlME signals produced by control register 46 and a separate one of the output enable signals OEB0-OEB3 produced by state machine A.
The output signal EMPTY of OR gate 36 and an output signal SINGSTR of control register 46 are also supplied as inputs to state machine B. A low true acknowledge signal SCACK produced by control register 46 and a low true acknowledge signal ACK provided by peripheral device 14 are supplied as inputs to a NOR gate 48, and a high true output signal TCACK produced by NOR gate 48 is supplied as another input to state machine B. A high true output signal SBUSY of control register 46 and high true busy signal output BUSY of peripheral device 14 are supplied as inputs to another OR gate 50 which produces a high true output signal TCBUSY, also provided as input to state machine B. State machine B produces the output signal DONE supplied to state machine A and also produces a low true output signal DSTR which is buffered by a buffer 52 and supplied as a low true STROBE signal to peripheral device 14.
Control register 46 is write enabled by the address strobe AS from computer 12 when the address on the address bus ADDR is a predetermined value. When write enabled, control register 46 stores data from computer 12, thereby to set the states of the RESET, SINGSTR, SCACK, SBUSY and PRIME output signals of the control register. The peripheral device is input enabled to receive a data byte on bus 18 when state machine B causes buffer 52 to assert the STROBE signal input to peripheral device 14. The peripheral device 14 asserts the BUSY signal when it is not ready to receive data by via bus 18, and asserts (drives low) the acknowledge signal ACK after it has received a data byte and continues to assert the ACK signal until such time as it is prepared to receive a next byte. The peripheral device may assert the FAULT signal when it detects an error in its operation.
Data transfer driver 10 can transfer bytes to peripheral device 14 utilizing either a "handshaking" or a "streaming" mode of operation. In the handshaking mode, driver 10 monitors the BUSY and ACK signals produced by the peripheral device and refrains from asserting the STROBE signal when either the BUSY or ACK signals are asserted so as to avoid sending data to the peripheral device faster than it can accept it. In the streaming mode, driver 10 ignores the BUSY and ACK signals and sends data bytes to the peripheral device at regular intervals.
To transfer data to peripheral device 14 utilizing the handshaking mode of data transfer, computer 12 first sets the states of the bits in control register 46 so that SCACK, SBUSY, RESET, and PRIME are false, and so that SINGSTR is true. A true SINGSTR signal indicates to peripheral device 14 that it is to implement the handshaking mode of operation. Computer 12 then sets the appropriate address on the address bus ADDR, sets the R/W signal input to read/write logic circuit 32 low, and then causes decoder 33 to assert the CS signal. Logic circuit 32 responds by asserting its READ output signal, thereby output enabling read buffer 28. When read buffer 28 thereupon places the FAULT, BUSY and ACK signal outputs of peripheral device 14 on the data bus 16, computer 12 reads the state of the BUSY, FAULT and ACK signals to ensure that the peripheral device is ready to accept data.
If the peripheral device is ready, computer 12 asserts the four control signals at the inputs to registers 38, places a 32-bit data word on bus 16, and then signals decoder 33 to initiate the CS signal once again, thereby to cause read/write logic circuit 32 to assert the WRITE signal and to assert the DSACK signal to computer 12. However, the read/write logic circuit will do so only if the EMPTY signal is true. OR gate 36 sets the EMPTY signal true (low) when all of the write enable signals OEB0-OEB3 are low, indicating that no data byte store write buffer register 30 is awaiting transmission to peripheral device 14. If the EMPTY signal is false, logic circuit 32 does not assert the WRITE signal or the DSACK signal. If computer 12 does not detect the DSACK signal, it determines that the write buffer registers 30 are not ready to accept data and continues to attempt to cause read/write logic circuit 32 to input enable the write buffer registers 30 until assertion of the WRITE signal is evidenced by an asserted DSACK signal.
The WRITE signal causes write buffer registers 30 to store the four data bytes on data bus 16 and also causes registers 38 to store and output the states of the input data bits provided by computer 12. These four bits LBE0-LBE3 indicate which of the four bytes stored in write buffer registers 30 are to be retransmitted to peripheral device 14. For example, if only bit LBE0 is true, then only BYTE 0 is to be retransmitted, if bits LBE0 and LBE1 are true then byte 0 and byte 1 are to be retransmitted, if bits LBE0, LBE1 and LBE2 are true then bytes 0, 1 and 2 are to be retransmitted, and if all bits LBE0-LBE3 are true then all bytes 0-3 are to be retransmitted.
State machine A monitors the states of bits LBE0-LBE3, and if one or more of the bits is true, it begins to sequentially assert the output enable signals OEB0-OEB3 signals corresponding to the asserted LBE0-LBE3 bits so that the particular write buffer registers 30 containing a byte to be transmitted to peripheral device 14 are sequentially output enabled. For example, if LBE0-LBE3 are all true, state machine A first asserts OEB0. The OEB0 signal is provided to one of the OR gates 44, the BYTECLR0 output of which sets to false the state of the LBE0 bit stored in one of registers 38. The OEB0 signal also output enables a first write buffer register 30 so that data byte 0 is placed on bus 18. In addition, the OEBO signal causes OR gate 36 to set the EMPTY signal false.
State machine B monitors the EMPTY and TCBUSY signals, and when both signals are false, state machine B asserts its DSTR output signal (i.e. drives it low) causing buffer 52 to assert (drive low) the STROBE signal to peripheral device 14. STROBE signal assertion causes peripheral device 14 to read data byte 0 on bus 18 and to assert the BUSY signal. Thereafter, it asserts and then deasserts the ACK signal, and then deasserts the BUSY signal when it is ready to read another data byte. Assertion and deassertion of the ACK and BUSY signals, causes NOR gate 48 and OR gate 50 to assert and deassert the TCACK and TCBUSY signals. When state machine B determines that the TCACK and TCBUSY signals have been deasserted, it transmits the DONE signal to state machine A.
On detection of the DONE signal, state machine A deasserts the OEB0 signal and asserts the OBE1 signal, thereby causing one of write buffer registers 30 to place data byte 1 on bus 18 and causing, by way of one of OR gates 44, one of registers 38 to set LBE1 false. State machine B thereafter reasserts the STROBE signal, causing the peripheral device 14 to read the data byte 1 on bus 18, and then reasserts the DONE signal. As the process continues state machine A subsequently asserts OEB2 and the OEB3 to cause write buffer registers 30 to place data byte 2 and then data byte 3 on bus 18 while state machine B asserts the STROBE signal two more times so that peripheral device 14 sequentially reads the last two data bytes. When all of the data bytes have been transferred, output enable signals OEB0-OEB3 are all low and the EMPTY signal output of OR gate 36 is true. Thus when computer 12 next attempts to write access the write buffer, read/write logic circuit 32 will assert the DSACK signal to indicate completion of the write access.
When computer 12 seeks to transfer data to peripheral device 14 utilizing the streaming mode, it follows the same procedure described hereinabove for the handshaking mode except that when initially loading data into control register 46, it sets the SINGSTR bit low, thereby telling state machine B that it is to utilize the streaming mode. When operating in the streaming mode, state machine B ignores its TACK and TCBUSY inputs and asserts its DSTR and DONE output signals periodically as long as the EMPTY signal remains false. Thus, peripheral device 14 is sent data periodically rather than as a result of asynchronous handshaking protocol. The streaming mode enables more rapid transfer of data to peripheral device 14 than the handshaking mode.
Computer 12 can reset operation of data transfer driver 10 to an initial state by temporarily setting the RESET or the PRIME bit in control register 46 true. This causes OR gate 40 to transmit an ABORT signal to state machine A, causing the state machine to assume an initial state. The FAULT signal from peripheral device 14 also initiates the ABORT signal to reset state machine A. The RESET and PRIME signals also cause OR gates 44 to assert the BYTECLR0-BYTECLR3 signals, thereby setting LBE0-LBE3 false. When state machine A goes to its initial state, it sets OEB0-OEB3 low, thereby causing OR gate 36 to set the EMPTY signal true. On detection of a true EMPTY signal, state machine B returns to its initial state wherein it asserts the DONE signal and waits until the EMPTY signal goes false. The PRIME signal is also transmitted to peripheral device 14 via a buffer 47 and may be used for resetting operation of the peripheral device.
FIG. 3 is a state diagram illustrating operation of state machine A where the "*" symbol represents the AND function, the "+" symbol represents the OR function, and the "-" symbol represents the NOT function. When the ABORT signal is asserted, state machine A enters a WAIT state regardless of what state it may currently be in. In the WAIT state, the LBE0-LBE3, signals are all deasserted. The state machine remains in the WAIT state until the ABORT signal is deasserted and until at least one of the LBE0-LBE3 bits are true. If LBE0 is true, a BYTE0 state is entered. If LBE0 is false but LBE1 is true, a BYTE1 state is entered. If LBE0 and LBE1 are false and LBE2 is true a BYTE2 state is entered. If LBE0, LBE1, and LBE2 are false but LBE3 is true a BYTE3 state is entered.
In the BYTE0 state, state machine A asserts the OEB0 signal. Similarly in the BYTE1-BYTE3 states the state machine asserts the corresponding OEB1-OEB3 signal. In the BYTE0 state, when the DONE signal 1 is detected, the WAIT state is re-entered, provided that LBE1 is not true. If LBE1 is true, the BYTE1 state is entered. The WAIT state is re-entered from the BYTE1 state on detection of DONE and not LBE2. If LBE2 is true, state machine A switches from the BYTE1 to the BYTE2 state. In the BYTE2 state, when the DONE signal is detected, the WAIT state is re-entered if LBE3 is not true. If LBE3 is true the BYTE3 state is entered. State machine A switches from the BYTE3 state to the WAIT state on detection of the DONE signal.
FIG. 4 is a state diagram illustrating operation of state machine B. State machine B has 16 states including a DONE state and states A-0. The DONE signal is asserted only in the DONE state and the DSTR signal is asserted only in states F through J. The DONE state is entered from all other states when the ABORT signal is asserted. In the handshaking mode, when the SINGSTR signal is true, the machine switches from the DONE state to state A when the EMPTY signal is set false. The state machine then steps through states A-E in sequence to provide a time delay of predetermined length following after the EMPTY signal goes false, and then switches to state F where the DSTR signal is asserted. The state machine steps through states G-J while continuing to assert the DSTR signal. and then in step K it deasserts the DSTR signal. From state K, the machine steps through states L, M and N, and then remains in state N until it detects assertion of the TCACK signal. Thereafter, the state machine moves to state 0 and waits therein until it detects deassertion of both TCBUSY and TCACK. At that point the machine moves to the DONE state and reasserts the DONE signal.
In the streaming mode, the SINGSTR signal is false, and the state machine jumps from the DONE state directly to the E state when the EMPTY signal goes false, thus reducing the delay in assertion of the DSTR signal. The state machine thereafter moves through states F, G and H, and then skips to state J. The DSTR signal is asserted in states F, G, H and J, the period during which DSTR is asserted being reduced by skipping state I. The state machine moves from state J to state K where the DSTR signal is deasserted, and then directly to the DONE state where the DONE signal is asserted. States L-O are bypassed, thereby allowing the state machine to ignore the TCBUSY and TCACK signal and to substantially shorten the period between deasserting the DSTR signal and asserting the DONE signal.
FIG. 5 illustrates signal timing when the data transfer driver is operating in the handshake mode and only Byte 0 is transferred from a write buffer register to the peripheral device. The EMPTY signal is deasserted (driven high) when state machine A drives the enable signal OEB0 high, and shortly thereafter a valid byte 0 appears on bus 18 to the peripheral device. Shortly after the EMPTY signal is deasserted, state machine B drives the DONE signal low, and after a delay of 1 microsecond following deassertion of the EMPTY signal, state machine B drives the DSTR strobe signal low for 1 microsecond, thereby causing the peripheral device to read byte 0. The peripheral device then asserts the BUSY signal until it is ready to accept another data byte. In the meantime, the peripheral device toggles the ACK signal. When the BUSY signal eventually goes low, state machine B asserts the DONE signal. In the handshaking mode, byte 0 is valid on bus 18 for 3 microseconds, but the total time required to complete the date transfer depends on the speed with which the peripheral device can respond to the STROBE signal.
FIG. 6 is a timing diagram illustrating signal timing when the data transfer driver is operating in the streaming mode. State machine A drives the OEB0 signal high to enable byte 0 onto bus 18, and the OEB0 signal drives the EMPTY signal high. State machine B drives the DONE signal and DSTR signals low 200 nanoseconds later. After another delay of 800 nanoseconds state machine B drives DSTR high again, and 200 nanoseconds thereafter drives DONE high again. On detection of the high DONE signal, state machine A deasserts the OEB0 signal and asserts the OEB1 signal. The process continues with state machine successively asserting the OEBl-3 signals while state machine B asserts the DSTR and DONE signals so that bytes 1-3 are placed on bus 18 and strobed into the peripheral device at 1.2 millisecond intervals. When at last OEB3 is deasserted, the EMPTY signal is driven low.
A data transfer driver has been shown and described that transfers multiple byte data words supplied by a data processing device such as a computer to a peripheral device in the form of a sequence of single data bytes. The driver is adapted to operate selectively in either a handshaking mode, wherein data bytes are transferred to the peripheral device asynchronously in response to handshaking signals from the peripheral device, or in a streaming mode, wherein data bytes are transferred to the peripheral device periodically without handshaking. Finally, the driver includes circuitry, including the read register, that permits the data processing device to check the operation of the driver and to monitor the handshaking signals produced by the peripheral device.
While a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects. The appended claims are therefore intended to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Located in Corralejos, the apartment will grant you with proximity to value spots, from green areas - such as Gran Parque Juan Carlos I - where you can take a stroll or enjoy a jog, different shops, a large shopping centre and transport links, being Alameda de Osuna metro station which can take you to the city centre in no time. Combining these perks with a peaceful residential area, makes this apartment a great choice!
This apartment has three bedrooms and a bathroom. In short, a place where you can devote yourself to your studies and at the same time provide an ideal location that can serve as your starting point in order to enjoy what the city has to offer!
Find out more about this property's common areas in our photo gallery.
You will be sharing this property with the landlord.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Eventual Realities
Real matters and uncertain matters,
Things are looking better with knowing that I can trust others! Also, it is amazing that a temporary fill-in, young health professional may not always include everything that a long time health professional would.
When I sought clarification it was never the actual intention to not provide all that is needed. My lack of obvious symptoms didn't demand any unusual attention because the temporary health professional was not aware that I had not had my teeth cleaned professionally for such an over long period of time.
When the normal dentist was contacted, she provided me with the prescription for antibiotics.
Also, my doctor skipped examining my heart because he assumed that I understood that my loss of over 30 pounds and much exercise changed my normal lack of good cholesterol had been reversed to a great extent. My good cholesterol was the highest it has ever been for many decades. I no longer needed my normal prescription of anti-cholesterol medication either.
It is very much like critical information not being available between the doctor patient relationship or the implied understandings of variation from the norm.
Also, I have many that care about me that are dedicated to provide full support as health matters keep improving. It has been very recent since I have ever had improvements in my normal physical health. I am not accustomed to what happens when there are efforts at changing diet and exercise. This is not a normal health process for me.
Also, it was more of a matter of developed discussion with a previously called health care company that when told of my concerns asked me if I had any other unexpired medications on hand. When I could only name Antronex, he quickly looked it up and instantly told me that it could help until I contacted the dentist again.
Previously, all other, normal medical health professionals in the normal medical field have no awareness of Antronex because it is not available by prescription at pharmacies. My chiropractor only has it on hand sometimes, and orders it with a delay of a few days otherwise.
On other matters, my financial guardian has been discovered to have enormous difficulty with complications dealing with fully automated transaction processing that computers were doing faster than the humans trying to help with them could actually help.
Also, there seem to be some matters that have come into being for a great many people around my age that seems to be created when in 2010 there were reforms in banking practices which were supposed to protect all people in general, but act to create difficulties with guardians when trying to do their regular duties for people near or in retirement.
Also, because he was supposed to protect my wealth, he is the one who protected my coins now and has offered to give me some help if I wish them to be exchanged for normal cash. I just did not enjoy that he stored my coins without asking me or telling me that they were secure. It was done while being absent for many days and unable to guard them myself.
It would really be better if professionals and those they serve had better over all communication, but what I say I was listening to in the media was never given to me as official knowledge. It was a matter of public discussion which is always vital for greater understanding if discussed earnestly regarding real or unknown matters.
Also, I had previously viewed recent estimations of what happens to troubling journalists in Russia over the last 17 years on a coherent publically available normal TV station. It was very disturbing to feel like things like this were or had actually happened anywhere.
To feel like something might be said that would have others have ill feelings is not ever what I want or intend is not my motivation.
My concerns aren't from anybody in the normal protection of others, but more to do with those who don't like to have their self concerns of resource consumption to be disturbed.
Many do not trust those normal protectors that are sworn to and truly try to protect others. There are a great many of these special people who are able to do the right thing and always seek to do so. It can never be just assumed that an isolated incident should bring distrust over an intended to be entirely dedicated organization. They serve their entire lives throughout their generation and normally try to do what they can to always do the right thing. But, people should never assume that the police always are able to know everything the very moment they arrive. This is most true during moments of sudden complexities.
However, children and parents should never have anything whatsoever to do with any of anything that is a TOY GUN if they truly want to protect their children. Police officers do not have the time of estimation to see all possibilities when they find somebody with even a toy gun. Real guns can be appear to be toy guns very easily and when their very lives can be threatened so much of the time, there is no time for close inspection or evaluation when mere seconds are often only available.
This was discussed with a real person who knows about such matters, and I include it now because he thought this was one of the biggest mistakes that currently happen. It is when there are accidents that cause a loss of life that no officer would ever do willingly that they suffer the most. Of course, the victim and their family will also suffer tremendously.
Person = retired civilian who had served years in the military that had some periods serving within the military police. Also, I consider him to be a friend because he has redeeming human qualities. I just wish we had more time to catch up on an opportunity to talk sometime again. He likes the fishing for stringers of fish while I don't do that. I am a poor fisherman because I don't like to kill living creatures. Yes, even fish!
Recently, within the last week, I discovered an ancient US law which I had totally been unaware of which was passed in 1799. Although nobody has ever been convicted of breaking this law, it is still true that it isn't legal when anyone tries to undermine on purpose a sitting US president. I don't think anybody likes to be undermined anyway! If something is troubling, then it takes patience and consideration for an understanding to be reached.
People should appreciated that the current president needs considerable time to have the full capabilities which have never been had by somebody who has no previous military or political experience. These characteristics were a main reason why people wanted to elect him. Unfortunately, as with all complex matters, most true when starting at the beginning, there is a significant period of adjustment and due process which must occur before eventualities are indeed determined.
Please lose the anger. Try to have peaceful input. It is hard to remain calm during times of difficulty, but many things are still possible. If you can help by being peaceful and dedicated to helping others, then I hope that you are successful.

It is only because of major precautions concerning my own sensitive personal data which I had to take a very long time to understand about what exactly was , has, is, or would be happening to it.
However, there have been now provided to me through all of these efforts a much more clear path of protection then I have ever been able to understand previously.
Also, because of my concerns impacting too many people in very quiet places like Lemon64, I had large concerns of personally offending other dedicated members of Bit-tech - at least as far as this population of known members that are exactly here at this profound website.
Unfortunately, for far too long I was totally unaware of the misuse of my own personal data, even occurring only within my small geographic location.
When evil people abuse people's personal data they can cause great harm to the actual person. It is very certain that this has, happened to me.
As a result, there are complicated factors of an unwholesome nature that have impacted me directly. I cannot explain any further other than I must spend an inordinate time period trying to resolve these issues.
Please forgive me if my time to help others has now been shortened. However, when I will finally cause these positive adjustments to my own identity, a greater amount of good things can happen even further.
<input> Helpful on a large scale to many people addicted to smoking or acquiring nicotine in order to maintain function.
First, (check with a doctor) it is a good estimate that the nicotine which is needed to calm the nerves can be gradually eliminated from the human body with a simple stage process of nicotine patches.
Second, (check with a nutritionist) to replace the clarity of thought processing which had been supplied artificially with smoking or using nicotine, it is a good estimate to do the following as a general approach which really must be evaluated by a professional in the health field with proper license and credentials.
For myself, I have no known real allergies, however there are too many others who do have food sensitivities or may have unknown food sensitivities that can become highly problematic. Some of these food problems can be very life impacting in a highly negative way.
However, I did consult a health professional who is highly qualified who told me the nicotine patch process was a good method, but they also offered that the body needed the following =====> (me!)
The health professional said that both the body and brain needed to have a healthy adjustment together in order to help the total person to escape from nicotine addiction.
I was recommended to rely upon wholesome nuts, like peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts, pecans, and cocoanut. At the same time these ingredients could be combined with certain dried fruits like dried grapes or cranberries.
For vegetables, even when I hardly like to take the time to prep or cook them, a simple mixture of healthy green salad or even something like spinach could have a dressing of olive oil and vinegar.
For additional protein, it could be further modified with the addition of sardines packed in olive oil by chopping the sardines into small pieces and adding them to the salad. Grilled chicken could be substituted.
Also, the health professional recommended that I avoid the following sea food. These would be bottom dwelling creatures who ingest large quantities of toxic metals as they live at the bottom where these metals reside.
The health professional also cautioned to say away from tuna as much as possible because they are a top level species which accumulates too large amounts of mercury over time while predating upon subspecies. There are also health warnings of this nature regarding swordfish. Only small amounts of tuna should be ingested in a very spread out fashion at all.
If bread is wanted, then whole grains are also preferred. These should be as fresh as possible without a great many food preservatives which are designed to artificially preserve freshness.
Finally, I was advised to include a wholesome regime of appropriate exercise. As always, before engaging in exercise - most certainly when unaccustomed to doing it beforehand, there should be a precautionary visit to a doctor for a thorough examination to establish what current real values of susceptibilities that any individual might have,
Given a coherent and dedicated process with the full help and support of knowledgeable, professional health field providers, it is entirely possible to escape from such personal destruction. Also, over more and more increasing time, not only comes a return to optimum health, but personal qualities which include not offending others within the public with what really is a very unclean habit.
There are direct studies about which children are likely to be the most probable to take up the habit itself. The highest proportion is often established within the small nuclear family. If one parent smokes then there are very likely chances for their offspring to acquire the habit for a lifetime which then passes from generation to generation.
When there are both parents who smoke, the addiction outcome is almost certain, thereby further insuring a propagation of ill effects throughout entire family branches occurring in many future generations.
There are many great rewards in stopping the nicotine addiction cycle, however the most immediate is that there is a high positive impact regarding finances on a personal, family, lifetime level. Many smokers die in poverty.
The financial impetus extends deeply into reducing great amounts of healthcare costs and health insurance premiums if the requirements are in place to help stop smoking.
The absolute main benefit that is provided on a personal level is a very significant increase of life expectancy and a high quotient of improved health.
Remember to consult your doctor, but even long vigorous walks of 20 minutes 2 - 3 times a week can prove quite significant. Propulsion exercise with machines like bicycles are enjoyable, but they have very little to do with the whole body mass.
I pray that everybody has a full opportunity to stop nicotine use, but it must be a dedicated effort to be successful. Exercise really helps to reduce a great amount of stress.
Humans who become so dedicated to using modern technology, everywhere, are forgetting that they are not a machine. For millions of years, humans have always been a biological specimen.
Walk as often as possible whenever you can if you are so able!
Now, I turn to my own complicated life existence for an inordinate period of time.
I would like to personally thank all of Bit-tech who have been so gracious as to allow the time for these matters to exist.
However, I will only use time variable of exact time in accordance with GMT
Greenwich Mean Time
which allows all others to associate their own time variables accordingly.
After all, I exist at many times and many places as I try to understand what I may with careful, thoughtful efforts as time allows me to do so. Also, as matters allow me to do so. Most of all as my inspiration allows me to do so.
Often, I must start at the beginning and workout matters until the end if I have the capabilities and kind assistance of others who are many in the world who truly care about many others on a loving basis.

Closing thread; this is a duplicate of one you started on Lemon64 three days ago, and is no more suited to posting here than it was there. Please find a mental health professional with whom you can discuss your issues, and refrain from creating any more threads like these. You've been given a lot of leeway, but the time has come to say enough is enough.

Fast Jet Boat that took so long
... on board the fast jet ferry to Athens or Piraeus Port and had been told the trip would take five hours. Five hours has come and gone and we are still tossing our way across the sea and will be for another 2 1/2 hours apparently. Its turned into a bit of epic journey and although its more comfortable than a plane its still a very long time to be sitting around and we won't be climbing into bed before 11.30 tonight. Its quite a rough ride at the moment as the ...
My arrival on Paros didn't get off to a very good start, as when I arrived into the port at Parikia, there was no one from the hotel there to take me to the resort. Fortunately, a nice man called Danos who was selling rooms, offered to call my hotel and let them know that I was waiting for them. I was told I would be picked up in an hour and a half, which I was not happy about as I was eager to get to my hotel and get settled. However, showing my displeasure at this I was ...

If you've been involved in social media for any amount of time, you're quite familiar with the conundrum of linking it to ROI. We all understand that inherently, exposure is good and social media provides that exposure. In today's marketing climate where companies need to shell out money to appear in Facebook's newsfeed and employ teams to strategize around engagement, you had better be able to articulate the return on social.
If you've been involved in social media for any amount of time, you're quite familiar with the conundrum of linking it to ROI. We all understand that inherently, exposure is good and social media provides that exposure. In today's marketing climate where companies need to shell out money to appear in Facebook's newsfeed and employ teams to strategize around engagement, you had better be able to articulate the return on social.
While this is a sentiment most of us can agree on, the actual process of nailing down this return is another story. Oracle recently debunked six myths in social media ROI. There are certainly more than six myths that need to be deflated but here are some of the big ones we found:
1. There isn't a way to correlate social indicators with broader business objectives and metrics
In many cases business objectives are essentially an extension of social metrics. In its simplest terms, certain social metrics are representative of broader business objectives. For example, if the demographics of a brand's followers are expanding that could be looked at as an indication of the brand moving into new markets. In more complex terms, in certain cases we now have the ability to attach revenue directly to certain initiatives. For example, we're able to track digital leads so that when they close, we know exactly where that lead originated. Albeit it's often more complicated than this but there are still times when outcomes can be tied directly to social initiatives.
2. It's not worth the time and effort to crunch so much data to try to associate it with social ROI
It has always been the goal of the marketing professional to advertise more effectively. Big data now makes that possible. The information provided from social media is becoming increasingly structured and increasingly sophisticated allowing us to target key demographics more efficiently. This data is extremely powerful and we have technology that makes interpreting and leveraging that data an efficient process.
3. Social media only applies to marketing
In the early days of social media this might have been true. Now, multiple functional areas of a company have a stake in social. Social has become a place to find talent as many companies have specific career Facebook pages used to promote company culture and job openings. Brands have Twitter handles that serve specifically as outlets for customers service (@DeltaAssist, @HiltonHelp, etc.). Companies are also using social to promote executives as thought leaders in their given space and we're seeing an increasing number of CEOs and VPs take to Twitter.
4. There's no way to measure the value of social listening
Studies show that 90% of purchases are subject to social influence. It's a fact that consumers are going to reference their peers. As a marketer, you can't directly control a lot of what is said about your brand but you can react to it and leverage it. How is that tied to value? Responding to negative post can change a customer's tune pretty fast and that can be directly attributed to customer retention. Additionally, companies spend a great deal of time and energy getting feedback while a lot of that information already lies within social media.
Social ROI is as difficult (if not more difficult) to prove in Digital Pharma Marketing as it is in any other industry. Social is certainly a big part of keeping the digital health community open and transparent. Proving the ROI is just another obstacle in keeping the conversation going in this space.

Commission updated on Vision 2025
Riley County officials are nearing final consideration of the Vision 2025 plan for regulating growth in the county's rural areas.
County planner Monty Wedel told commissioners Thursday that about two dozen people who attended the second of two scheduled hearings on the plan Wednesday night at Riley County High School surfaced no roadblocks and few questions.
"We might be ready to move to the public hearing," Wedel said of a formal step that usually immediately precedes adoption of a plan.
The meeting at Riley County High School followed a similar one last week at the Manhattan Fire Department at which the public reaction was similarly accepting. Boiled down to its essence, the plan allows county officials to review proposals for development of non-farm residential areas in the county.
Commissioners have not yet set a public hearing date for Vision 2025.
County appraiser Greg McHenry said he expects change of value notices to be mailed Feb. 17.
McHenry also told commissioners that he met Tuesday with officials from Picerne Housing at Fort Riley to discuss steps leading to the assessment of those properties for tax purposes. "We were able to iron out a preliminary strategy for valuing their properties and they provided data needed for our appraisal work," McHenry said.
The step is significant because neither Riley nor Geary County presently has a means of assessing on-post property for tax purposes.
McHenry also reported on a bill introduced this week in the Kansas Senate that would impact the way appraisals are conducted. The bill was heard by Sen. Roger Reitz's Local Government Committee. Among other things, it would allow counties to email change of value notices rather than mailing them as is currently the case, and would also allow personal watercraft to be taxed at the residence of the owner rather than at their location of storage.
McHenry said he expects the Local Government Committee to vote on the measure Tuesday. If it clears the committee, it would go to the full Senate and then possibly to the House.

Year-to-date ACV of $5.6 billion is up 17 percent, driven by larger awards in functional domains such as industry-specific BPO and Facilities Management.IT outsourcing (ITO) ACV of $3.2 billion fell 13 percent year-over-year but rose 8 percent sequentially. Year to date, $9.2 billion in ITO ACV has been awarded, a decline of 3 percent. However, ITO totals in both the Americas and Asia Pacific are up by double-digit percentages. By region, Asia Pacific continued to turn in the strongest overall growth in 2012. During the third quarter, the region's ACV totaled nearly $700 million, up 55 percent year-over-year but down 51 percent sequentially. Year-to-date ACV of $2.5 billion rose 72 percent over 2011, with China, India and Southeast Asia all experiencing robust growth.

We anticipate improvement in the fourth quarter, with help from some larger deals that are ready to go to award.

Here is what I remember; it was on the special "Year of a Million Dreams" wine list, I am pretty sure it had the name of a woman in it, It was a sparkling wine described as having a fruity taste. I would know it if I saw the name. Oh, one more thing, there were wines from the Disney Vinyard but it wasn't one of them. Thanks Donna

Donabedian (1966) noted that the quality of healthcare is a âremarkably difficult notion to define.â Based on a definition offered by Lee and Jones (1933); he concludes that the criteria of quality of care are mere value judgements that are applied to aspects of a process called healthcare. Deming (1986) cites and shares W. A. Shewhartâs view that the difficulty in defining quality emanates from the need to translate future requirements of the user into measurable characteristics so that the product or service can be designed and turned out to satisfy the user. Regarding the quality of healthcare; Deming states that a definition is a âperennial problemâ. He adds that healthcare quality has been defined in many ways and that each way seems to serve a special type of problem. In spite of this difficulty in defining the concept; there has always been the need to measure and improve quality.
Moreover; it is evident that better quality has been achieved at different levels in different industries or organisations. For example; Young et al (2004); Merry (2004); Laffel et al (1989); and Mohammed (2004) provide evidence that healthcare practitioners can adopt some of the quality improvement techniques in practice in other industrial systems mainly in the manufacturing sector. Currently there are several cases of attempts being made to apply some industrial systems improvement techniques in healthcare (Komashie and Mousavi; 2005; Moore; 2003; Dodds; 2005).
This paper attempts to extract information from a comparative analysis of quality improvement methods in industry and healthcare and to suggest some directions for further study. It is primarily concerned with the general concepts of quality assessment within these industries at various points in time and how these concepts have changed. It must also be noted that there are volumes of publications on quality both in healthcare and industry but this paper is not an exhaustive review of relevant literature. It is however believed that the sources selected for this study are representative of the major trends in quality particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Two astronomers took home the big prize for a satellite they created that backed the Big Bang theory of the universe's origins. Stephen Hawking called their finding "the greatest discovery of the century, if not of all time."
The discovery by John Mather and George Smoot of "cosmic ripples," which won them the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday, was lauded in 1992 by cosmologist Stephen Hawking as "the greatest discovery of the century, if not of all time."
While most physicists do not go that far, they are universal in their praise of the experiment, in which the pair and their team designed a satellite and used it to find proof of the Big Bang theory of the universe's origins.
They found faint variations in microwave radiation that dated back to just 300,000 years after the fiery birth of the universe.
This image forms part of the work for which John Mather and George Smoot won the 2006 Nobel Prize for physics on Oct. 3. Their research on cosmic radiation helped pinpoint the age of the universe and added weight to the Big Bang theory of its birth.
