East India Comedy are mostly known for their stand up tours and their parody tracks. In a show recently, EIC Vs Bollywood, four members of EIC namely Angad, Sahil, Atul and Kunal discussed lyricism and debated about Honey Singh and Badshah. All for laughs to be precise. Worth a watch for their comedic take on this.
The video opens with discussion about Punjabi music which sparked a debate on who's the a better rapper, Honey Singh or Badshah. They started by discussing the weirdest lyrics that the've heard, mentioning lines from tracks like 'Vroom Vroom', 'Isse Kehtey Hai Hip Hop' and a few more. Atul poking fun at Lil Golu and calling 'Isse Kehtey Hai Hip Hop' as an ad for Godrej Nature's Basket followed by Angad poking fun at Honey Singh's line from the same track where the rapper mentions that he will bring a Grammy.
Then Sahil followed with making jokes about his favourite Badshah track which is 'Driving Slow', Sahil picked out lines and added a comedic twist to it. This was then followed by the four discussing 'a typical Punjabi rap video'and how materialist they are.
To conclude this bit, they went on to discuss Sindhi music and Sapan had to talk about Gujju rap. In the end they even poked fun at A.R Rehman. Anyone left…?
I hope this triggers your funny bone. It did mine :D

Medicaid's data gets an internet-era makeover
Source: Steve Lohr, New York Times (Paid Registration)
A San Francisco start-up has built a cloud-computing database of the nation's 74 million Medicaid patients and their treatment. Andrew M. Slavitt, acting director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, described the cloud database as "near historic." Largely because Medicaid information resides in so many state-level computing silos, Mr. Slavitt explained, "we've never had a systemwide view across the program."

I've had this app for a while now and it's got me thinking whether men should do squats? Do girls like a man with a ladybutt?
Squats don't give a man a lady butt. Men build muscle very differently.
Squats or lower body work are essential if you want to boost metabolism and muscle growth.
when it comes to compond exercises squats are king, what i mean by that is it has more synergists than almost any other exercise when done properly with proper form and timing you will hit all lower body muscle and have synergists everywhere,
and men have been using squats to build comp winning quads and hammys for a very long time it will not give you a girls butt.

SESSION TYPE: Cardiovascular Student/Resident Case Report Posters II
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Isolated unilateral pulmonary vein atresia is a rare condition. Patients generally present with recurrent pneumonia and hemoptysis.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old African American female presented to the emergency department with a complaint of hemoptysis, described as "coughing up a handful of bright red blood." This episode of hemoptysis occurred after riding her bike and was associated with chest discomfort. The past medical history was significant for two previous episodes of scant hemoptysis, recurrent pneumonia and asthma. Physical exam was only remarkable for diminished breath sounds over the right lower lung field. In the emergency department (ED), complete blood count and coagulation panels were normal. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed hypoplasia of the right lung, right pulmonary artery and right pulmonary veins, with no evidence of scimitar vein. Bronchoscopy showed diffuse erythema of the mucosa at the entrance to the right upper lobe. Echocardiogram demonstrated a structurally normal heart and four pulmonary veins were felt to enter the left atrium with normal flow and mild elevation of the right ventricular (RV) systolic pressure at 35 mm Hg. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated right upper and lower pulmonary vein atresia. Multiple aorto-pulmonary collaterals were embolized during the procedure to minimize further risk of hemoptysis. Because the anatomy of her anomaly supported anastomosis, the patient underwent surgery three months later. At the surgery the right pulmonary veins seemed to enter the left atrium by external inspection. Upon internal inspection there was membranous right pulmonary vein atresia. Excision of the membrane and a pericardial patch angioplasty of the right pulmonary venous confluence were performed.
DISCUSSION: Pulmonary vein atresia should be considered in children with hemoptysis, recurrent pneumonia and imaging indicating ipsilateral hypoplastic lung. Treatment aim is to prevent co-morbid conditions and preserve lung function. Treatment approaches include conservative monitoring, surgical anastomosis or pneumonectomy with preoperative collateral vessel banding. Due to the morbidity and mortality of this condition, it is crucial to identify this condition before pulmonary hypertension or massive pulmonary hemorrhage ensues.
CONCLUSIONS: We present a rare case of hemoptysis secondary to isolated unilateral pulmonary vein atresia.

The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support and a magnetic layer provided thereon, and more particularly to a magnetic recording medium using a film of polyethylene naphthalate (hereinafter referred to as "PEN") as the non-magnetic support.
A biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as "PET") film has heretofore been widely used as a support in a magnetic recording medium because of its good surface smoothness and mechanical characteristics, and a magnetic recording medium using it as the support is excellent in abrasion resistance and running properties. In recent years, high density recording and long time recording have been increasingly required for video tape using a polyester support. Accordingly, an increasing demand exists for the support to possess excellent smoothness and sliding properties, and further to be thin in thickness yet demonstrate high strength and excellent running durability.
In order to meet the above requirements, use of a PET support, which is increased in strength in both longitudinal and width directions, has been made. However, with a reduction in the thickness of the conventional PET support, the strength of the support becomes insufficient and thus deformation or damage of a tape edge during running system occurs, seriously deteriorating recording and reproducing characteristics.
In order to increase the strength while decreasing the thickness of a support tape, JP-A-62-234233 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application) discloses the use of polyamide, and EP-A-229346 discloses the use of PEN. The support made of polyamide or PEN is increased in strength because of strong internal orientation of the material, but the tear transmission resistance of the support is seriously low because of its strong internal orientation. For this reason, at steps of coating, calendering and slitting of the magnetic recording material, cutting often occurs and the yield is seriously decreased. Even though the magnetic recording material can be fabricated into the desired tape, if the tape is damaged, even though slightly, as a result of troubles in the running system, the tape is easily cut, which will become a serious problem for the quality of the product.
JP-A-63-197643 and 63-212549 disclose composite polyester. If, however, a proper lamination ratio is not employed, a serious reduction in tear transmission resistance and insufficient strength are produced by the strong internal orientation as in the above case. Thus, as steps of coating, calendering and slitting of the magnetic recording material, cutting is often caused, leasing to a considerable reduction in the yield, and furthermore the deformation or damage of the tape edge in the tape running system is caused, leading to a serious deterioration of recording and reproducing characteristics.
JP-A-63-197643 discloses a composite polyester film, which is a three layer composite film composed of biaxially oriented polyethylene-2,6-naphthalene carboxylate films as outer layers and a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film as a core layer as sandwiched between the two outer layers, and in which the thickness of the two outer layers is 1/40 to 1/5 of the total film thickness.
In the above composite polyester film, it is attempted to prevent deposition of oligomer crystals which are responsible for dropout, by employing the above construction. However, in the conventional balanced type, if the above construction is employed, the strength in the longitudinal direction (lengthwise direction) and the strength in the width direction (lateral direction) are not sufficiently high and edge deformation is caused, leasing to a considerable decrease of output.
Although PEN is known as a material of very high strength, its tear strength in the lateral direction (width direction) is small and is not at the level that can be employed for practical use.
An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording medium which is improved in smoothness of output wave form and is high in output and durability.
Other objects and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
As a result of investigations to use PEN giving attention on its high strength, it has been found that if PEN of the balance type is employed, even though the total thickness is not more than 11 μm, the strength is sufficiently high, and there is not problem in connection with the tear strength.
The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support having thereon a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder, the non-magnetic support comprising polyethylene naphthalate in which Young's modulus in the transversal direction (width or lateral direction and hereinafter referred to as "TD") is at least 700 kg/mm2 and Young's modulus in the mechanical direction (longitudinal or lengthwise direction and hereinafter referred to as "MD") is less than 800 kg/mm2, the ferromagnetic powder being a magnetic metal powder, and the total thickness of the magnetic recording medium being not more than 11 μm.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coercive force (Hc) of the magnetic recording medium is at least 1,400 Oe, and more preferably at least 1,500 Oe, the maximum flux density (Bm) of the magnetic recording medium is at least 2,700 gauss, and more preferably at least 3,000 gauss, the thickness of the non-magnetic support is in a range of 5 to 9 μm, and the surface roughness (Ra) of the non-magnetic support is less than 12 nm (cut off value: 0.25 mm).
In accordance with the present invention, it has been made possible to make the head touch of a thin tape equal to that of a thick tape by using a type of polyethylene naphthalate film which increases the strength in the width direction. In the conventional PET, when the film thickness is large, the output waveform envelop is 100% at both the input side and the output side, while on the other hand in the case of a thin tape, the strength is decreased; although it is 100% at the input side, it is only about 50% at the output side. It is also contemplated to use a certain type of PEN. It is generally known to use PEN which is strongly oriented in the longitudinal direction. Yet, as in the case of the conventional PET tape, the strength at the outlet side is only about 56%.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been unexpectedly found that if use is made of a tape of the balanced type in which orientation is effected in both the longitudinal direction and the width direction, that the decrease in output is about 80% even at the outlet side, and excellent smooth output evenness is attained. At the same time, the carrier/noise ratio (C/N) is also improved.
The present invention is particularly effective for a video tape to be used in VTR wherein the short wave recording wavelength of a magnetic recording medium is not more than 1 μm, particularly not more than 0.8 μm.
Heretofore, it has been very difficult to produce a thin tape which is not more than 25 μm in recording width, and which is to be used for digital recording for a long time recording.
In order to obtain good C/N, it is preferred to use a magnetic metal powder. Moreover, in order to obtain a good C/N, it is preferred that the coercive force (Hc) of the medium is at least 1,400 Oe, and more preferably at least 1,500 Oe, the maximum magnetic flux density (Bm) of the medium is at least 2,700 gauss, and more preferably at least 3,000 gauss, and the squareness ratio (SQ) (Br/Bm) of the medium is at least 0.86, and more preferably at least 0.87.
The center line average surface roughness (Ra) of the magnetic layer is preferably less than 12 nm, and more preferably not more than 11 nm (cut off value: 0.25 mm).
The Young's modulus in the TD of the non-magnetic support to be used is at least 700 kg/mm2, and preferably 700 to 900 kg/mm2, and the Young's modulus in the MD is less than 800 kg/mm2, and preferably 600 kg/mm2 or more and less than 800 kg/mm2. The thickness of the support is preferably in a range of 5 to 9 μm, Ra of the support is preferably less than 12 nm.
For long time recording, it is essential that the total thickness of the medium is not more than 11 μm, and preferably from 6 to 11 μm.
The "total thickness of the medium" used herein refers to the total thickness of the magnetic recording medium, including the thickness of the support, the thickness of the magnetic layer, and if necessary, the dry thickness of the backing layer.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
(1) A magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing magnetic metal powder, a backing layer, and a non-magnetic support, wherein the total thickness of the medium is not more 11 μm.
(2) A magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing a magnetic metal powder, a backing layer, and a non-magnetic support, wherein the thickness of the non-magnetic support is in a range of 5 to 9 μm.
(3) A magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing a magnetic metal powder, a backing layer, and a non-magnetic layer, wherein the center line surface roughness (Ra) of the magnetic layer is not more than 11 nm (cut off value: 0.25 mm).
Examples of the polyethylene naphthalate used in the present invention include polyethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate, polyethylene-2,7-naphthalene dicarboxylate, polyethylene-2,5-naphthalene dicarboxylate, polyethylene-1,5-naphthalene dicarboxylate, polyethylene-1,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate and polyethylene-1,7-naphthalene dicarboxylate. Among these, polyethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate is preferably used in the present invention.
The PEN that can be used in the present invention includes, for example, a polyethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate homopolymer, a copolymer containing at least 70% by weight of an ethylene-2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate repeating unit, and a polyester composition containing the above homopolymer or copolymer, and other various polymers to the extent that they do not significantly detract from the properties of PEN, for example, in such a proportion that the PEN component is at least 70% by weight. This PEN is a polymer having a film forming capability.
The PEN film can be produced by biaxially stretching an unstretched film. In accordance with the successive biaxial stretching method, for example, the first stage stretching is carried out at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PEN, preferably at (Tg+3) to (Tg+10)� C., and then at the same temperature as in the first stretching to at 10� C. higher temperature than the first stage stretching temperature, the second stage stretching is carried out. The stretching ratio is generally at least two times, preferably at least 2.5 times in the axial direction, and the surface area ratio is preferably at least 6 times and more preferably at least 8 times. The heat setting is preferably carried out under tension at a temperature of at least 170� C., preferably at least 190� C. The upper limit of the heat setting temperature is a temperature at which the film is held in a stable form, although it varies with the setting time. The heat setting time is preferably several seconds to several tens seconds and more preferably from 3 to 30 seconds. It is preferred that successive stretching is carried out to 1.05 to 2.5 times in the longitudinal direction and to 1.05 to 2.5 times in the lateral direction under temperature conditions of (Tg+10) to (Tm-40)� C. (Tm: melting temperature), and that re-heat setting is carried out at a temperature of (Tg+50) to (Tm-10)� C.
In this manner, a high strength polyester film can be obtained in which the Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction and the width direction are at least 600 kg/mm2 and at least 690 kg/mm2, respectively.
The polyethylene naphthalate can be produced by polycondensation of ethylene glycol and dimethyl 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate, for example. As the glycol, ethylene glycol and other like glycols can be used. As fillers, conventionally known fillers such as silica, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate can be used. The filler may be concentrated on the one side of the film in the direction of thickness of the support. Commercial dimethyl 2,6-naphthalene-dicarboxylate produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd. can be used. 2-Methyl-6-acylnaphthalene obtained by oxidation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, oxidation of 2,6-dialkylnaphthalene, isomerization (Henckel method) of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, or acylation of β-methylnaphthalene is oxidized by the use of a Co, Mn catalyst to obtain 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. This is esterified to produce dimethyl 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate.
In general, a polycondensation product is extruded through a nozzle in a high temperature molten state and stretched in the MD and TD in a tenter according to the simultaneous biaxial stretching method. At one side or at both sides, an easy-adhesive layer may be provided. The surface at each side may be made smooth (10 nm) or rough (20 to 40 nm).
As PEN has a higher Young's modulus than the conventional PET, it is relatively excellent in mechanical strength. However, if the thickness is made small, the stiffness of PEN film is inferior to that of PET film, and thus a suitable treatment is necessary. That is, in the present invention, in order to prevent envelope deformation in VTR due to insufficient stiffness, the balance of Young's modulus between the MD and TD is specified.
In the present invention, in order to improve sliding properties, a lubricant, for example, inorganic or organic inert fine particles or organic polymer inert fine particles, may be incorporated into PEN.
Inorganic inert fine particles which can be used include MgO, ZnO, MgCO3, CaSO4, BaSO4, Al2 O3, SiO2, TiO2, and C. Typical examples are silica titanium oxide, and alumina. Organic inert fine particles which can be used include sorbitan, sialoid, and cataloid. Organic inert fine particles which can be used include fine particles of tetrafluorethylene and polyethylene.
Addition of the above lubricants provides control over the surface form of the composite polyester film. For example, when the film is used in a coating type of magnetic recording medium, it is preferred that the center line surface roughness is made 0.007 to 0.03 μm, and when used in a metal thin film type of magnetic recording medium, particularly a vertical magnetic recording medium, it is preferred that the center line surface roughness is made not more than 0.007 μm when the cut-off value is 0.25 mm.
In the present invention, at least one magnetic layer contains ferromagnetic metal powder. The ferromagnetic metal powder preferably has a coercive force (Hc) of from 1,200 to 2,500 Oe and a crystallite size of from 100 to 300 Å, and preferably contains 60 to 90 wt % of Fe, 3 to 20 wt % of Ni, 1 to 10 wt % of Co, 0 to 5 wt % of Zn, 0 to 5 wt % of Si, 0 to 5 wt % of Al, and 1,000 ppm or less of Mn, Cu, Cr, Ca, Na, K, P, S and Se. The ferromagnetic metal powder preferably has a saturation magnetization (os) of from 90 to 250 emu/g and a specific surface area of from 30 to 100 m2 /g.

A vinyl chloride copolymer containing the above polar group is particularly preferred.
The thermosetting resin or reactive resin preferably has a molecular weight of not more than 200,000 in the state of a coating composition, and when heated after coating and drying, its molecular weight becomes infinite as a result of reactions such as condensation and addition.

The amount of the dispersant used is in the range of 0.05 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the binder. The dispersant may be previously deposited on the surface of the ferromagnetic fine powder or non-magnetic fine powder in advance, or may be added during the time of dispersing. This is described in, for example, JP-B-39 -28369, JP-B-44-17945, JP-B-48-15001 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined published Japanese patent application"), and U.S. Pat.

Representative examples of abbreviated symbols of carbon black include SAF, ISAF, IISAF, T, HAF, SPF, FF, FEF, HMF, GPF, APF, SRF, MPF, ECF, SCF, CF, FT, MT, HCC, HCF, MCF, LFF, and RCF, which are classified in D-1765-82a of ASTM Standard in U.S.A. For the carbon black for use in the present invention, the average particle diameter is 10 to 1,000 nm (determined by the use of an electron microscope), the specific surface area (determined by the nitrogen adsorption method) is 1 to 800 m2 /g, the pH is 6 to 11 (determined according to the K-6221-1982 method of JIS Standards), and the DBP oil absorption amount (determined according to the K-6221-1982 method of JIS Standards) is 10 to 400 ml/100 g. In connection with the size of the carbon black for use in the present invention, 10 to 100 mn carbon black is used for the purpose of decreasing the surface electric resistance of a coating, and when the strength of the coating is intended to be controlled, 50 to 1,000 nm carbon black is used. For the purpose of controlling the surface roughness of the coating, fine carbon black (less than 100 nm) is used for making the surface smooth to decrease spacing loss. For the purpose of roughening the surface to decrease a coefficient of friction, coarse carbon black (at least 50 nm) is used. In this manner, the type and amount of carbon black are determined appropriately depending on the objects required for the magnetic recording medium. These carbon blacks may be used after surface treatment using a dispersant as described hereinafter, or after grafting with a resin. In addition, carbon black, wherein the surface of which has been partially made graphite by treating at a temperature of higher than 2,000� C. in the furnace for production thereof, can be used. In addition, as specific carbon black, hollow carbon black can be used. The amount of the carbon black used is generally 0.1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the ferromagnetic fine powder in the case that it is used in the magnetic layer. Carbon black which can be used in the present invention can be referred to, for example, in Carbon Black Binran (Handbook of Carbon Black), published by Carbon Black Association, Japan in 1971.
Organic solvents which can be used for dispersion, kneading and coating in the present invention include ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, isophorone and tetrahydrofuran; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and methylcyclohexanol; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethyl lactate, glycol acetate, and monoethyl ether; glycol ethers such as ether, glycol dimethyl ether, glycol monoethyl ether, and dioxane; tars (aromatic hydrocarbons) such as benzene, toluene, xylene, cresol, chlorobenzene, and styrene; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ethylenechlorohydrin, and dichlorobenezene; N,N-dimethylformaldehyde, and hexane.
There are no special limitations on the method of kneading, and the order of adding the components can be determined appropriately. In preparation of the magnetic coating composition, the usual kneading machine, such as a two roll mill, a three roll mill, a ball mill, a pebble mill, a thoron mill, a sand grinder, a Szegvari attritor, a high speed impeller, a dispersing machine, a high speed stone mill, a high speed impact mill, a disper, a kneader, a high speed mixer, a ribbon blender, a cokneader, an intensive mixer, a tanbular, a blender, a disperser, a homogenizer, a monoscrew extruder, a twin screw extruder, and a supersonic dispersing machine, can be used. Details of the technology for kneading and dispersion are described in, for example, T. C. Patton, Paint Flow and Pigment Dispersion, published by John Wiley & Sons, 1964, and S. Tanaka, Kogyo Zairyo (Industrial Material), Vol. 25, 37 (1977). In addition, they are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,581,414 and 2,855,156. In the present invention, the magnetic paint can be prepared by kneading and dispersing according to the methods described in the above literature.
In formation of the magnetic recording layer, the above components are combined in any desired formulation, dissolved and dispersed in an organic solvent, and the resulting coating composition is coated on the support. In the case that the medium is used in the form of a tape, the thickness of the support is preferably from 5 to 9 μm.
Prior to coating, the support may be subjected to treatments such as corona discharging treatment, plasma treatment, undercoating treatment, heat treatment, dust removing treatment, metal vapor deposition treatment, and alkali treatment.
For coating the above magnetic coating composition on the support, air doctor coating, blade coating, air knife coating, squeeze coating, impregnation coating, reverse roll coating, transfer roll coating, gravure coating, kiss coating, cast coating, and spray coating can be employed. In addition, other methods can be employed. Detailed explanation of the coating can be found in Coating Kogaku (Coating Engineering), published by Asakura Shoten, Japan, pp. 253-277, (published at March 20, 1971).
The magnetic coating composition coated on the support according by the aforementioned method is dried while subjecting to an orientation treatment, if necessary, to form a magnetic layer. At this treatment of coating and drying, the speed of conveying the support is generally from 10 to 500 m/min, and the drying temperature is generally within the range of 20� to 120� C. By applying surface smoothening treatment such as calender treatment, if necessary, and cutting into the desired form, the magnetic recording medium of the present invention is produced.
In the case of a thin tape as the magnetic recording medium, particularly a tape having a total thickness of not more than 11 μm, in order to improve the head touch of the VTR and obtain a high output, it is effective to provide a Young's modulus of the PEN support of at least 700 kg/mm2 in the TD and less than 800 kg/mm2 in the MD. This is markedly effective to provide high durability.
By using the support of the balanced type in which PEN is increased in strength in the width direction, even in the case of a thin tape, the output is less changed relative to the input side envelop wave form, and excellent output smoothness can be obtained. At the same time, in combination with the magnetic metal powder, the C/N is greatly improved.
The present invention is described in greater detail with reference to the following Example and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not construed as being limited thereto. All parts used herein are by weight.
The magnetic layer composition (I) shown below was placed in a kneader and thoroughly kneaded. Then the magnetic layer composition (II) shown below was introduced and mixed, and then the magnetic layer composition (III) as shown below was further introduced and dispersed to prepare a magnetic coating composition.

The magnetic coating composition was, after adjustment of viscosity, coated on a 7 μm thick non-magnetic support of polyethylene naphthalate or polyethylene terephthalate shown in Table 1 in a dry thickness of 3.0 μm, and dried while subjecting to magnetic field orientation in the running direction by the use of 3,000 gauss opposing magnets. Then the magnetic layer was continuously subjected to calendering treatment, the opposite surface of the non-magnetic support provided with the magnetic layer was coated with the following backing layer in a thickness of 0.5 μm, and after slitting to 0.5 inch, the magnetic layer was subjected to surface treatment by the use of a diamond blade to produce a tape.

Output: MII-Pal VTR at 7 MHz
The output smoothness is calculated from the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein Max is the maximum output and Min is the minimum output in the output.
Ra: Center line average roughness, cut-off value: 0.25 mm
As can be seen from the results of Table 1, the sample using PEN of the present invention produced C/N which was about twice that in the use of PET, and an output smoothness which was about 20% larger that in the use of PET. On the other hand, in the same using PET, C/N was low, and the output smoothness was as low as about 75%. Even if PEN was used, no satisfactory results could be obtained when there was used the conventional PEN which was strongly oriented in the longitudinal direction.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific examples thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

Rangolis are drawn with different coloured powders to welcome guests. Oil lamps are arranged in and around the house. Because of these flickering lamps, the festival has acquired its name Deepawali or Diwali meaning `a row of lamps'.

BeBe & CeCe end 15-year hiatus with chart-topper
By Gail Mitchell
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - If the exuberant audience reaction to BeBe & CeCe Winans' recent live performance on Steve Harvey's syndicated radio morning show is any indication, the gospel duo still has the touch.
And with the single "Close to You" notching its fourth week at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart (and reaching No. 11 on Adult R&B), the welcome mat is primed for the pair's aptly titled new album, "Still."
Released October 6, "Still" is BeBe & CeCe's first album in 15 years. It also doubles as the first project on the siblings' independent label, B&C Records, in association with Malaco Records. Signed to Capitol in the late '80s, BeBe & CeCe -- members of Detroit's legendary gospel family the Winans -- logged several gospel and R&B crossover hits ("Lost Without You," "Addictive Love," "I'll Take You There"), gold albums (including "Heaven") and a host of awards.
Taking a break from their collaboration, the pair pursued successful solo careers. By the time the idea of reuniting crossed their minds, 15 years had elapsed.
"We didn't sit down and say, 'We're coming back in 15 years,'" BeBe says with a laugh. "This wasn't planned."
CeCe adds, "By the time we finally got everything (the label and album) done, we realized how long it had been."
While the industry has changed radically since 1994, the duo's natural chemistry remains intact. Working with longtime producer Keith Thomas and others including Warryn Campbell, Percy Bady and Mario Winans, the intent was, in CeCe's words, "to be who we are but also current, to gain new fans."
The pair followed its tried-and-true formula: heartfelt spiritual songs about life that can stand the test of time. In fact, BeBe wrote "Close to You" several years ago. Continued...

Having problems with your Eureka 4467AV Upright Vacuum ?
Nothing is going into the waste basket when i vacuume
Answers :
Do you mean the "bag"? If so you have a clog. The first thing is to check is the on board tool hose. Remove the hose from the machine and check suction at the end of the hose. If you have no suction there the clog is between the end of the hose and the bag. Open the bag door and remove the bag. You will have to use a coat hanger wire, make a small turn at one and slowly put it though hose to unclog. If you have suction there, check the section of hose between there and the head of the vacuum with coat hanger wire. If nothing there, then remove the base plate and check the inlet for the dirt there. You should also check to make sure the belt still turns the brush roller, if not replace it.

The retractable cord is stuck all the way out and will not go back in. Is there a simple way to fix this "disaster"??? without taking vacuum apart that is. And this is not my exact vacuum but I figure the cord problem would go for all of them. Ours is a ORANGE HEPA 360 Kenmore Whisper Belt 12 amp with PowerMate Model # 116.29219800
... Kenmore 27915 Bagged Canister Vacuum
Won't start. My son was using the vacuum & Didn't change the bag. The vacuum was making the full bag smell, but the light was't on & it didn't stop. I stopped him, changed the bag, checked the filter, closed the compartments & turned on the vacuum. Nothing happened. I checked to be sure that it was plugged in, that wasn't the problem. I've let the vacuum "rest" for several days, It still won't start. Any suggestions?
There is a reset button at the back of the powerhead. The user manual can be downloaded from the electrolux website, although I didn't find it very useful. There was some info on how to change the powerhead drive belt. ... Electrolux EL7020A Oxygen 3 Ultra Canister Vacuum Cleaner Bagged Vacuum

Think Broome and you probably picture the Kimberley, pearls and Cable Beach. But if you're from Australia's south-east, you might first think, "It's a bloody long way away . . ."
To many of us, it remains a remote and wild place, great if you're a gray nomad with time to explore – but not the ideal destination for a short-term holiday or mini-break.
And yet, that has radically changed with the development of more tourism options, from cruises along the Kimberley coast, to sophisticated packages for visiting places like the Bungle Bungles.
The nicest thing about some of these luxury destinations is they don't simply replicate resorts you could find anywhere.
Rather, they celebrate the extraordinary beauty and wildness of this still remote part of the country – like Eco Beach. Set in the sand dunes above the spectacular Kimberley Coast near Cape Villaret, just across Roebuck Bay from Broome, it combines the white sands and cobalt blue waters of the famous bay with the Kimberley's distinctive red rocks.
Billed as "accessible wilderness", Eco Beach has its own airstrip, meaning it's only a 10-minute flight by light plane from Broome, instead of a 130-kilometre road trip after a long plane ride from the south. You can even bring your own plane in to land direct on the 1.4-kilometre strip.
Despite being on the west coast, the resort faces north, meaning you get the rare treat of watching the sun both rise and set over the ocean. Whether you stay in one of the 25 villas, linked by elevated boardwalks, or 30 permanent tents, the only sound you hear is the waves on a windy day, perhaps the wind through the coastal vegetation and the cries of the abundant bird life.
There are no televisions or phones (although mobile and internet connections all work fine). The villas allow you to self-cater if you wish, and there's fine dining in the restaurant.
Upmarket retreat
The resort is the brainchild and grand obsession of Broome builder and businessman Karl Plunkett. The original resort he built at Eco Beach in the late 1990s was destroyed by Cyclone Rosita in 2000.
The rebuild produced a vastly more sophisticated and upmarket destination. It has also launched a myriad spin-off businesses for Plunkett, who now markets his patented safari tents to Africa and the rest of the world through Eco Structures Australia, as well as having a hand in a range of other eco-friendly technology businesses. The resort runs on a hybrid energy system, mostly driven by solar power, and its organic gardens supply the restaurant.
As the airstrip makes both day visits and short-term stays a much more viable option, manager Tom Cykowski has been seeking to broaden the appeal of the site. Eco Beach has all the facilities and activities you'd expect in this part of the world, from a pool and day spa facilities to whale watching, barramundi fishing expeditions and indigenous culture walks led by traditional owners. The beach is the nesting site for flatback turtles. Go a kilometre or two off the coast to meet humpback whales and you'll encounter more turtles, plus dolphins and dugongs swimming past.
Tom is planning to make Eco Beach a year-round destination, not just one for the dry season (April to November). The bird life and spectacular storms make the wet season one of the most stunning times of year in the north-west, he argues, and could keep the resort open, albeit scaled back, all year round. In terms of infrastructure, Eco Beach includes a meeting room where one wall opens up to inspiring views all the way to the beach. Said room doubles as the location for morning yoga lessons. It strikes you as the perfect spot for executives to hammer out complex business deals.
It's a great option for the start of a trip to the north-west, offering the space and calm to slow from work to holiday pace – or to treat yourself to creature comforts after weeks on the dusty road.

Even during the lazy, hazy days of summer, there is still hope to get back in shape or remain so.
The following five sizzling tips are realistic to follow. They can be used all year round, and reaps long term benefits to maintain proper weight, with an added bonus of good health.
Exercise portion control
The stomach is only approximately the size of a fist. Never exceed that size of portions during any meal.
Be a 80/20
Splurging once in a while is fine. Use the portion control method 80% of the time and allow for a slightly more relaxed approach for the remaining 20%. This relaxed period adjusts for those summer barbeques, dinner parties or a weekend on the town.
Slow it down
By chewing slowly, makes it easier to not only digest food properly but gives a feeling of being full.
Drink water
Between meals and with meals, water satisfies the thirst, helps avoid dehydration from heat, and fills the stomach with no added calories
Easy substitutions
Swap the white bread, pasta, rice and other starchy foods for wholegrain. Forego the milk chocolate and treat yourself with a small piece of dark as an alternative.
Skip the Pina Coladas, Cuba Libres, and other heavy handed summer drinks. Sub with a white wine spritzer or a vodka and soda.
Finally remember, the only real secret to lose or maintain weight is to eat less and move more. Don't fall for fad diets.
The authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Monogram Viva-Cite GM Bag combines modern convenience with the charm of a classic Louis Vuitton handbag. The used bag is crafted in the LV signature monogram canvas and natural cowhide trim is set by its shiny gold tone hardware.
With its distinctive split two outside flap pockets with snap closures, the flap partially covers a portion of the pockets, giving it a more graceful look rather than that of a utility bag.
The leather shoulder strap is adjustable and allows the user to wear the pre-owned Louis Vuitton several ways, thus making this roomy bag makes it ideal for every day.
The top zip opens up to soft and luxurious alcantara lining in raspberry red. With as much space that can be needed, the Viva-Cite GM adds even more functionality with two flat open pockets.
Stay in great shape this summer, winter, spring or fall with an authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Viva-Cite GM Bag.

Most politicians coyly deny they want to lead their country until the last possible minute, but Myanmar's opposition leader, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, dispensed with the usual pleasantries and announced unequivocally her desire to be president two years before the 2015 poll.
There is only one problem: it will be all but impossible for her to run in the 2015 election. And she knows it.
Although she has expressed interest before, the timing and venue, a packed meeting of the World Economic Forum in Naypyidaw, Myanmar's capital, was designed for impact.
"I want to run for president and I'm quite frank about it," she told a panel. "If I pretended that I didn't want to be president, I wouldn't be honest and I would rather be honest with my people than otherwise."
When the then-military dictatorship decided a few years ago to introduce limited democratic reforms and open up Myanmar, also known as Burma, to the West, analysts said, it wrote rules to ensure the popular Suu Kyi would not threaten its power.
"It's almost impossible for her to be president," said Tint Swe, a former member of parliament with Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party and chairman of the civic group Burma Centre Delhi. "The regime in power before 2008 did this intentionally, making it almost impossible to amend the constitution."
Myanmar's constitution states that no Burmese citizen with foreign relatives can become president or vice-president. Suu Kyi's late husband was British and her two sons hold British passports.
Beyond that are various procedural barriers.
Knowing the procedural impediments, Suu Kyi may have made Thursday's high-profile statement before diplomats, foreign bankers, company heads and UN officials to embarrass and otherwise pressure the government as it hosted the international community, some said.

About owning Harry -- do I look like Rowling to you?
I hate the cold. I'm a very warm-blooded person. I need sun. So, yeah, winter basically sucks.
So staying outside all hours of the night to wait for two people to show up who probably won't is bad enough by itself. But in the cold? I'm miserable.
I hate you, J.K. I really do. Can't you make it warm for once? I mean, we're always playing Quidditch in the rain and the cold, and dementors don't make you warm, and --
And there's a very pretty animal. Huh. Look's like Harry's.
So, yeah, I'm an idiot. I follow the pretty shining patronus. But I'm not that much of an idiot. I let it get a head start. And guess who's following it? Yeah, it's Harry. Probably thinks it's pretty too.
Anyway, I'm following Harry who's following the doe. The doe's pretty. Did I mention that? And with the snow everywhere, it kind of makes everything glow. In a nice way. I lean against the tree, watching Harry.
J.K, here's the thing. Harry looks like an idiot. He really does. It's like watching a very bulky…bear. He must be wearing fourteen sweaters, and his black hair is sticking out in all directions. I have to try not to laugh, because, yeah, he really is funny-looking.
Until he starts stripping. I mentioned it was cold, right? Well, really, cold doesn't begin to cover it. It's frickin' freezing. Like you're constantly walking through Nearly-Headless Nick. So why Harry was stripping in this clearing really is weird. Harry usually doesn't strip, period…except for Ginny.
Sorry. It was a random thought. Blame Rowling, she made me.
I admit, I do nothing. It's fascinating to see someone with so little regard for cold. I half-wonder what he's going to do when he gets all the clothes off. Maybe dance under the full moon. Maybe he doesn't know wizards haven't done that for a couple hundred years. It'd be interesting to watch.
Okay, I know what you're saying. You're saying, "Ron, why are you watching Harry get naked instead of going to talk to him, you idiot!?" And my answer is -- would you like to talk to someone who's half-naked when it's cold? Oh, and the last time you talked, you kind of…yeah, you screamed. And walked out of them. Which you always swore you wouldn't do.
So Ron Weasley's a coward. Get over it.
Except…okay, Harry, I give up, what are you doing? J.K, you watching this? YO! He's jumping into a lake! And, yeah, he's done that before, but not when it's negative a billion outside! And he jumped in with only his boxers and the frickin' locket on! And…
No, no way. I think we just explained that Ron Weasley is a coward. He's not a hero. He would never risk his life for his best friend. Well, he might if it wasn't so cold. No, I won't do it. I won't.
Damn, I hate Harry.
So that's the story of how I ended up in this lake, freezing to death, still fully clothed (though Harry wasn't. Idiot.) I also found out that Harry wasn't committing suicide. He wanted a sword. Though, I admit, he might have wanted the sword to commit suicide, but…
Anyway, I hauled Harry out of that pond. I had to rip the necklace off first, then I had to get the sword, because Harry obviously wanted it. When I resurfaced, guess who was looking at me?
Well, it wasn't the doe, I can tell you that.
There's only a little more of the story left, so just hang with me. Harry was looking at me, and I always felt terrible whenever he looked at me with those eyes. So I kind of held out the sword (it was almost stuck to me. Remember the cold? It multiplied by a million when I was cold. I swear, my teeth were going to break from the chattering).
I gave Harry the sword, and I told him to put some clothes on, 'cause he looked cold too. Idiot. He shouldn't jump in freezing water.
And neither should I, J.K. Just a hint.
Yet another pointless chapter, though I would appreciate a review.

A Village for Tomorrow
The Children's Village has provided residential services to children and support to families for more than 160 years. The goal of all programs is to help young men reach their potential by building on strengths and encouraging personal growth.
What We Offer
Education: Our school is focused on achievement with high graduation rates, including many regents graduates. Special education trained teachers follow rigorous New York State curricula in classrooms with a staff ratio of 8:1:1. Students have the opportunity to learn a trade and participate in internships leading to full-time jobs. After school activities include a variety of academic enrichment programs.
Individual and Family Therapy: Each resident and his family is supported by a clinical team consisting of a SocialWorker, a Psychologist, a Psychiatrist, a Nurse, and a Recreation Therapist. Socio-therapists provide 24 hour supervision.
Programs For Every Need
Residential School: The Residential School provides clinical care to emotionally troubled male children between the ages of 5 and 21 years. Youth are placed through local Departments of Social Services, NYS Office of Children and Family Services, or district Committees on Special Education. Students reside in one of 18 cottages on the 200+ acre campus.
Intensive Programs: The Children's Village has programs for youth with challenging behavioral and emotional needs. These programs offer higher staff-to-resident ratios, lower caseloads for Social Workers, and may offer an in-house school program.
Specialized Intensive Programs
These programs provide treatment for targeted behaviors:
Residential Substance Abuse Treatment: This program serves youth who have substance abuse issues that have developed beyond typical adolescent experimentation. Youth attend school in their cottage in the morning. St.Vincent's Catholic Medical Center Adolescent Outpatient Program provides O.A.S.A.S.-licensed substance abuse treatment for the remainder of the school day.
New Directions: This program provides intensive 24 hour care and treatment to youth with problematic sexualized behavior and histories of sexual offending with the goal of changing their attitudes and behaviors. Virtually all services, including education, are provided within the cottage.
C.S.E. Programs: Young men between the ages of 13 and 17 years, whose emotional problems require intensive intervention, structure and supervision, can be placed through their local school district's Committee on Special Education (C.S.E.). This specialized program provides intensive structure, high staff-to-child ratio, and clinical treatment with an in-house school program. Youth and families develop skills to support pro-social and pro-educational behaviors.

Pardon my French and fill-in the blank however you like but I was watching a news channel this morning that was discussing the 'rules' for a brokered convention!
Brokered Convention?
As I stood over my coffee discussing the increasing potential for the publics choice (not my choice) to be denied the Republican nomination by a bunch of out-of-touch career politicians in Washington whose main goal seems to be holding onto power and maintaining the status quo my thought was this...
The Democrats are going to nominate either...
- A career politician with enough baggage to sink a battleship and who stands a chance of being indicted before the election ever takes place or,
- A career politician who is an avowed socialist promising the world (aka free stuff) to an electorate either too lazy or too stupid to know that there is absolutely no way to pay for any of it without further bankrupting our nation!
If Republicans are forced to hold a brokered convention, or some idiot runs as a third party candidate, or Trump gets the nomination after a contentious convention melee and some GOP voters vow to stay home what will have been accomplished?
That after two-terms of who will go down in history as the worst and least patriotic President in history the nation would elect a Democrat who will finish the job that Obama started.
In addition it will likely mean that the GOP loses the Congress.
Finally it will also more likely than not mean that Democrats will control Washington for a longtime to come.
Is that what you want because it is definitely not what I want or what the country can survive!
Somebody in the Republican Party needs to step-up and be the so-called 'grown-up in the room' and do what is best for the country and not simply what's best to maintain their cushy careers in Washington!

Summary of Tales for Change
Using Storytelling to Develop People and Management
Kogan Page, 2004 more...
Pages: 165
Once upon a time, businesses used stories to ease people through tough changes. Then, they could live happily ever after.
A book of tales must rise or fall on the quality of the stories it presents. And in that regard, this storybook earns a mixed report card. Most of the stories are clear and pithy, although some hint at change without being directly related to it. A case in point is "The Old Man and his Grandson," a brief moral tale about the need to demonstrate empathy and the fact that everyone grows older. Other stories, however, are perfectly apropos and even come with a hint of humor to prod listeners to accept change. Unnervingly, some of the less engaging stories come from author Margaret Parkin's personal experiences. On the other hand, her informative introduction makes a compelling case for the power of narrative in introducing and abetting transformation. She supplies excellent questions for further study after each story to keep the discussion on point. Overall, getAbstract recommends this book to those who would like to add a few new anecdotes to their quiver.

Chapter Twenty-Six, Part Two: Camera ObscuraMature
He reaches, straining. His molecules are not exactly stable, and he must do this quickly.
Suddenly, a crunching noise behind him.
And strong male arms breach the precipice, caressing his back, pushing their strength into his.
Yes, sudden. And yes, he knows who it is.
"You figured it out, I take it?" he murmurs, smiling with half a mouth on a melted doll's head. "Good… on you… old friend. Help me with… this, would… you?"
A white mushy tooth pops out of his drooping, holey gums, plopping on the ground in a pile of runny white ooze.
"Yes, moron," an adult male voice grumbles from boy-lips hovering just behind his left ear. He himself has no hair anymore, and the back of his head is more the waxy remains of a candle than anything living.
"Yes, quite so."
And together they reach.
Longer, outward; the Master holds the Flesh avatar out toward the branch.
In the distance back the way they have come, the shuffling of feet through brush becomes a deafening roar.
The Flesh can feel his torso creaking, but something else, too. This little outcropping, so much weight…
But the Artifact, it's just a little further… a fog begin to swirl now, thick and bent around the place, heavy with light and the sound of so many footsteps. He does not remember it having such a lovely tinge- it's silver and tarnished and dented, like mercury glass.
Like glass.

Officials say several bills were used at local businesses.
They say the two may have been using $20 and $50 dollar bills to buy small items to get most of the money back in real cash.
