New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 7, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas FELSHerald-Zeitung — ■ ...... " ' . - '•" " 1 . ;.-______—--,----- ._______IVol. 149, No. 36 18 pages in 2 sections January 7, 2000 pRJJYYY Servin£Comal County since 1852 50 cents New class rank structure to be considered by CISD trustees By Heather Todd Staff Writer Current freshmen at Canyon and Smithson Valley high schools could fall under a new class rank system if trustees approve changes recommended by a campus-based review committee. A Class Rank Review Committee comprised of school administrators, students, teachers and parents met this past fall to review how Comal Independent School District high schools calculate class ranking among students. If approved by the board the changes would be made in the current student handbook and the 2000-2001 handbook, but would not affect current upperclassmen. The committee is scheduled to recommend the changes for board approval at the Jan. 27 meeting at Bill Brown Elementary, 20410 W. Highway 46. The committee's major recommendation is to eliminate most elective courses in the class ranking system. Currently, most elective courses such as debate, theatre arts, health science technology and accounting, are included in the class ranking. Most elective courses are calculated as regular credit courses. In the current system, core courses, Advanced Placement and honors courses are weighted in the ranking, which makes the courses more advantageous for students to take. For instance, a student that earns a IOO in an AP class might earn 8 ranking points, while the same grade in a pre-AP honors class might earn 7 points, or 5 points in a regular credit course. The committee is recommending moving most elective courses into a non-ranking category. Other courses currently not given a rank value include band and athletics. Under the proposed changes, students would still earn credit for all their courses and all courses taken by a student would still be used to calculate the cumulative grade point average. But, only specific courses would be used to determine class ranking. Bob Wiegand, principal of Canyon High School and a member of the committee, said the changes were recommended as a way to encourage students to take elective courses without jeopardizing their class rank. "The objective is to encourage students to take more elective courses without the pressure of how they will affect their class ranking. We believe that students who are currently reluctant to take electives w ill enroll under this new recommendation." Jan Booth, secondary curriculum coordinator for CISD, said many elective courses such as engineering graphics, health science technology and computer animation were beneficial to students planning to enroll in college or find jobs after high school. But, she said, many highly ranked students do not take the courses because it would be detrimental to their class standing. And, a drop in class rank could endanger some students' scholarship opportunities, district officials said. "Students on the committee often said 'I'd love to take that class but I can't take it because it might hurt my class rank," Booth said. By moving elective courses to a non-ranking category, students would be allowed to take courses in high school that would give them a hands-on experience without penalizing their class ranking, officials said. Booth said school principals decided to review the class rank system after hearing students' concerns. "The principals heard from the students and they were the catalysts for the move," Booth said. See RANKINGS/3AComal County Sheriffs Department adding tactical unit ERIN MAGRUDER/Herald Zeitung Comal Sheriff's Department Capt. David Oft displays a tear gas launcher Thursday. By Erin Magruder Staff Writer The Comal County Sheriff's Department is taking a proactive approach to handling a crisis situation—they want to be prepared before a disaster strikes. For that reason, the department is assembling a SWAT team that will be trained and equipped to respond to a volatile event such as this past year's Columbine High School tragedy in Littleton, Colo. "SWAT team is one of those things you hope you never have to use," Sheriff Bob Holder said. "But if you do—you have people with the skills. You are prepared as a police agency in case anything happens." The SWAT team will be comprised of about 20 to 24 full-time and reserve sheriff's officers that will receive specialized training as snipers, negotiators, or as part of entry and perimeter teams, said CCSO Captain David Oft, who is heading up the SWAT team. "lf something like Columbine ever hit here, we would have to be ready," Ott said. "We have to think ahead about what we would do and what resources we would draw on." For example, local Smithson Valley High School has the same amount of students about 2,000— as Columbine High School, he said. To qualify for the SWAT team, certified peace officers must pass a physical fitness test and maintain physical standards, make a two-year commitment to the team, pass an oral interview board and receive additional firearms training, Ott said. The SWAT team has been assembling since November, and about IO members already have been selected and are in various stages of their training. "We have a good bunch of officers to pull from," Ott said. And not all members of the SWAT team are men. A female patrol officer will be part of the negotiating team, and a female reserve officer, who also is a registered nurse, has applied to be a part of the SWAT perimeter team.See SWAT/3A Inside Abby...............................5A Classifieds.....................3-8B Comics...............................7A Crossword..........................5A Forum.................................6A Local/Metro........................4A Movies................................5 A Obituaries...........................3A Sports..............................1-3B Today.................................2A Church Directory...............9A www.herald-zeitung.com Key code 76 File photo City workers remove one of several lighted structures from the Holiday River of Lights display at Cypress Bend Park. The River of Lights recently completed its third consecutive season, raising $113,498 in revenue for city coffers. Another $238,155 was transferred from the city's portion of the hotel/motel tax funds to help defray the cost of running the event, which this season cost the city $254,707. $113,498 — collected from gate revenue, season pass sales, other promotions and sponsorship and program ads. An estimated 14,030 vehicles and 56,000 people passed through the display, up 29 percent from the 1997 season and up 35 percent from the 1998 season. But gate revenue, as well as season passes and sponsorships, didn't bring in enough to cover the costs of renting the lights and setting up, operating and marketing the display — $254,707. Hotel/motel tax funds paid for $238,155 of the costs. Bed tax money actually allowed the city to put the net operating margin of $96,946 into the city's general fund. That money wouldn't be there without the Holiday River of Lights, assistant to the city manager Don Ferguson said. "When it puts $96,946 in the general fund, that's $96,946 less we need from the taxpayers," he said. Money currently brought in by the city's 7 percent hotel/motel tax is divvied up between the Greater New See LIGHTS/3AAnalysis Holiday River of Lights Operating expenses $254,707 Operating revenues Gate revenue: $79,839 Season pass sales: $4,000 Other (ornaments, "Fun Run"): $1,159 Sponsorship and program ads: $28,500 Total: $113,498 Gross loss $141,209 Subsidization Hotel/motel tax revenue: $238,155 Net gain $96,946 Chamber shifts focus to Convention Center to between 55 to 65 percent with no cap. Tile cap, however, allows the city to get some surplus funds, which are used to fund the Holiday River of Lights. In addition, the chamber gives the city $20,000 of its $826,000 for the display. If the city chooses to lower the chamber's percentage, between $40,000 to $100,000 could be freed up to fund a down payment on a convention center, estimated at $6 million.See CHAMBER/3A Lights out City leaders could decide later this month to pull the plug on a tradition By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff writer By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff writer Funding for the Holiday River of Lights and the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Inc. could be cut to fund a new convention center, if city council approves a recommendation from the chamber. Council hasn't discussed the issue yet, and the chamber hasn't formally presented its ideas for how to fund a convention center. But the issue could come up in a workshop not yet scheduled and the Jan. 24 council meeting. Chamber president Michael Meek said Thursday the chamber wanted to renegotiate its contract with the city to provide some bed tax funding for a . convention center. "We feel everyone would benefit from a convention center," he said. "Our job is to maximize the benefit of tourism for the whole community." Currently, the chamber gets 74.286 percent of the city's 7 percent hotel/motel tax, unless that exceeds a predetermined cap, which totals $826,000 for 2000. "With this cap program, we typically receive about 60 percent of the total," Meek said. The rest of the money is divvied between arts and heritage organizations (14.286 percent) and upkeep of the New Braunfels Civic Center (11.428 percent). Meek said he'd like the chamber's percentage to change from 74 percent The future of the Holiday River of Lights could come to a vote soon and probably will have to compete with a convention center for bed tax funding. Organizers of the Holiday River of Lights say the drive-through light display has not met revenue expectations but shows promise. During the past three years, the city reports expenses associated with the light display project at $804,805, which was was partially funded with $600,310 from hotel/motel tax revenue. The city had to pay $83,489 out of the general fund to cover the cost of starting the River of Lights in the project's first year, 1997. The general fund received $55,686 in 1998 and $96,946 in 1999, providing the general Hind a total of $69,143 during the past three years. Without the hotel/motel tax subsidy to the project, the city would have lost more than $500,000. Hotel/motel tax, by state law, is a dedicated tax. Revenue can be spent on convention facilities, tourism promotion and promotion of arts and history. The three-year contract for the lights expires this year — and in the next month, the city likely will determine just how it should spend its bed tax money. At Monday's meeting, council will set a workshop to discuss the convention center. And on Jan. 24, both the convention center and the Holiday River of Lights could be agenda items. In 1999, revenue from the 52-day event in Cypress Bend Park totaled ;

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ ends slightly lower as U.S. data drags
* C$ slides to 97.63 U.S. cents
* Rebounds from near three-week low
* Bond prices mixed (Updates to close, adds commentary)
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar ended lower against the greenback on Wednesday, weighed down by weak U.S. economic data, though it recovered from close to a three-week low sparked by a sharp drop in oil prices.
U.S. core consumer inflation touched a record low in October and new home building sagged, lending support to the Federal Reserve's move to boost the sluggish U.S. economy through additional monetary easing. [ID:nN17190977]
The data pressured both the U.S. and Canadian dollars against the rest of the G10 currencies.
"It was more CAD trading in a very tight range with the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. dollar losing against most of the other G10 currencies, that dragged Canada down against those currencies as well," said Matthew Strauss, senior currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
"Part of the reason the U.S. dollar softened slightly was ... disappointing data, whether you're looking housing starts, permits, inflation. And that put the North American currencies on the defensive." Continued...

Hi, I've got a question about company formation. I have just incorporated a company limited by shares through a company formation agent. My papers have come through, and I understand that's more or less me ready to trade. My only question is whether this is an annual thing. Do I need to re-register my company through Companies House every single year? Or is incorporation a one-off deal? Thank you.

Ciara - Half Breed
I grab the boys arm as I walk pass pulling him along behind me. I make it seem a normal happening echoing the thought out to people around me. "What the-" The boys says. I spin round and put a finger to my lips. I whisper 'shh' into his head then pull him along behind me once again.
We reach a corner to an empty corridor and I pull him round before taking his shoulders then slamming him up to the wall. He yells out a bit it pain before going quiet and gritting his teeth. "Lets talk about this reasonably" He says trying to keep the situation calm. He's probably trying to keep out of getting hurt... in fact thats exactly what he's doing.
"You don't have to worry, Dale" I say. His eyes widen as I speak his name and I step back releasing him from my grip. I put a hand on my hip letting it stick out and my other arm hangs by my side. "I'm actually here to help you" I finish with a cold smile, never have been the happy sort.
"What do you mean? How do you know my name?" He says beginning to panic only slightly. I roll my eyes and sigh heavily.
"I thought I wouldn't have to do this but.." I shrug then spread my wings letting them have a big flap before pulling them back to my back where they seem to sink into my skin. "Recently you've had a dream about the apocalypse. I had a more detailed one and I know that you" I point his chest with a finger. "Are the only one who can stop my father, Lucifer"
"Wait, how did you know about the dream? What are you? Your wings are black... well a reddish black so you can't be a normal angel?..... Wait... your father is Lucifer?" He says seeming to be unable to take half of what I said in. I roll my eyes annoyed.
"Wow, you're chatty. I know about your dream cause I'm telepathic. I'm a half breed between an angel and demon. Yes, my father is Lucifer. Do I like it? No, I hate him. Do I care about what happens to this planet with its apocalypse looming? No, but the only way to get back at my father is to stop it. Now anymore questions?" I say.
"Stop! I don't want to hear it. The thing is your never gonna totally get all this stuff so we'll skip the question section and get to the real problem. How are you gonna stop my father?"

Blood Loss
Jeremy lay there, unconcious and bleeding. The bloodflow had become strong enough for his turnakite to finally push off just enough for blood to seep out, quickly. It was cut just over a main artery in the wrist, and it wouldn't take long to kill him.
Someone finally came over to him, muttering a swear word at seeing the seriousness of his arm. His face was pale and sweaty, his heart pumping fast, which really wasn't helping his body overcome this. They tightened his turnakite, but it wouldn't be enough to save him. He needed a way of suchering up his wound, of connecting the skin so that it wouldn't continue to bleed. Most inmportantly, though, he needed blood. He was a blood type O, which ment the only way to give blood to him was another O, which was extreamly rare.
Normally even as Jeremy was asleep he could still continue to use a few select powers, but now, not even one of them worked.

Please describe your creation.
A game that requires the player to replace the broken parts of their spaceship with newer parts, the player must use their hands to grab parts and place them in the right locations while using gestures to fit the pieces in place all of which must be done before time runs out.
Programming language?
Video of your demo? (Strongly recommended for hardware hacks.)
Your web site or portfolio?
@gamefan81189999- the menu was something we left to the last minute so it was planned to have touch interactions but we ran out of time :-(.
More spaceship viewing is something we would have liked also, but thank you for your feedback!
confused about the menu, why are there hands but i can't touch buttons?
also, the spaceships in the background were and i wanted to see more of them, game was very short :(
Awesome game.
A visually pleasing a responsive game, fun to interact with and free from frustrating moments that most motion and gestured controlled games have. Enjoyed my experience with the game. Constructive criticism the instruction page was a wall of text, it would have been nice to see supporting graphics.
@jscottk- Thank you very much for taking the time to play and rate our game along with giving some feedback! :D we appricate it!
This is a fun concept and after getting the swipe gesture down I was able to quickly get all three pieces in place. The mechanism to respawn loose objects automatically was really handy and I enjoyed throwing stuff around in low gravity. Unfortunately it didn't trigger the puzzle completion event when I put the three pieces in place and it said my spaceship exploded, but I suspect if I had tapped them all it may have worked. Good work!
Its really cool to play and interact with :) I found it really responsive and immersive! Would love it if more games like this were around. Awesome game!

BACKGROUND Owing to its stimulatory effect on angiogenesis and epithelialization, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an excellent material for enhancing wound healing. The use of PRF dressings may be a simple and effective method of reducing the morbidity associated with donor sites of autogenous free gingival grafts (FGGs).

Clinicians are often intrigued by the varied manifestations of the gingival tissue. Gingival overgrowth is a common clinical finding and most of them represent a reactive hyperplasia as a direct result of plaque-related inflammatory gingival disease. These types of growth generally respond to good plaque control, removal of the causative irritants, and… (More)

Jiang Ji (died 249),[1] courtesy name Zitong, was an official of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. He was Jiang Xiu (蔣秀)'s father and Jiang Kai (蔣凱)'s grandfather.
At early years, he was famous in the region of Huai River (淮河) along with Hu Zhi (胡質:?-250) and Zhu Ji (朱績).
During the reign of the Emperor Cao Rui (reign 226-239), he became a "Secondary Marquis" (關內侯). In 228, being lured by a fake surrender of Eastern Wu general Zhou Fang (Three Kingdoms), Cao Xiu planned to attack Eastern Wu and advanced deeply into the front line Huancheng (皖城). Jiang Ji opposed Cao Xiu's advance by the reason that the Cao Xiu's army could be cut behind by the Eastern Wu's forces of Zhu Ran. At this Battle of Shiting, Cao Xiu suffered a crucial defeat.
During the reign of the emperor Cao Fang (reign 239-255), he was promoted to Grand Commandant (太尉).
In January 249, Sima Yi launched coup d'état to seize power from Cao Shuang. While the emperor Cao Fang and Cao Shuang left the capital Luoyang to visit Cao Rui's tomb, Sima Yi rallied a group of anti-Cao Shuang officials, closed all the gates of Luoyang and also took over the floating bridge at the Luo River. He sent an edict to Cao Fang in the name of Empress Dowager Guo, accusing Cao Shuang of dominating and corrupting the government, and demanding that Cao Shuang and his brothers be removed from power.
Jiang Ji was one of the main participants of the coup at the Sima Yi's side. Jiang Ji sent a letter to Cao Shuang and said that "Sima Yi and Jiang Ji were concerned solely with the military powers in the hands of Cao Shuang and Cao Shuang's brothers, as Sima Yi had sworn pointing to River Luo."
Soon after, Cao Shuang surrendered. When Cao Shuang was about to be executed by Sima Yi, Jiang Ji asked Sima Yi to save Cao Shuang's life saying that Cao Zhen's family should not be exterminated considering the reputation of Cao Zhen. However Sima Yi did not accept his advice and executed the whole family of Cao Shuang.
According to Shiyu (世語), Jiang was said to be bothered by this because he had urged Cao Shuang to surrender on the condition that Cao Shuang's life would be saved, and that he failed to keep his promise. A few months after, he died in April, 249.

Data modeling is a complex task for novice designers. This paper conducts a systematic study of cognitive complexity to reveal important factors pertaining to data modeling. Four major sources of complexity principles are identified: problem solving principles, design principles, information overload, and systems theory. The factors that lead to complexity are listed in each category. Each factor is then applied to the context of data modeling to evaluate if it affects data modeling complexity. Redundant factors from different sources are ignored, and closely linked factors are merged. The factors are then integrated to come up with a comprehensive list of factors. The factors that cannot largely be controlled are dropped from further analysis. The remaining factors are employed to develop a semantic differential scale for assessing cognitive complexity. The paper concludes with implications and recommendations on how to address cognitive complexity caused by data modeling.

The Home Secretary's policy of not referring discretionary life prisoners' cases to the parole board, save for some compelling reasons, until after the expiration of the tariff or penal periods of their sentences was unreasonable and unlawful.
Mr Justice Dyson declared that the Home Secretary should have referred the applicants' cases to the parole board at such times as would have ensured so far as practicable that their cases were heard by the board immediately on the expiration of the tariff or penal part of their sentences.
In 1976 the five applicants, members of the provisional IRA, were convicted of offences of attempted murder and conspiracy to cause explosions and were sentenced to terms of life imprisonment. Each was notified in 1992 that his tariff period, set for the purposes of retribution and deterrence, was 20 years. On expiry of the tariff period, the parole board would decide whether a further period should be served if there was a risk to the public.
The Home Secretary refused the applicants' solicitors request to refer the cases to the parole board so that they would be heard immediately on the expiration of the tariff periods in July 1995. When the cases were referred to the board the chairman refused applications for expedition of the hearings and hearings were fixed for December 1995. The applicants applied for judicial review of those decisions.
Edward Fitzgerald QC (B.M. Birnberg & Co) for the applicants; Kenneth Parker QC (Treasury Solicitor) for the Home Secretary.
Mr Justice Dyson said that section 34 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 governed the release of discretionary life prisoners. The European Court of Human Rights had held that it was the right of prisoners to be released if there was no longer a risk to the public, and prisoners were entitled under article 5(4) of the European Convention on Human Rights to a judicial determination of the question of risk.
The Home Secretary accepted that he had a discretion to refer cases to the board before the expiration of the tariff period but the policy under section 34 was not to refer cases until after the expiration of the tariff period unless there was a compelling reason, such as the case of a terminally ill prisoner, and contended that a hearing 23 weeks later satisfied the requirements of domestic and European Convention law.
That policy was unreasonable and therefore unlawful. In the cases of prisoners who were no longer dangerous and who ought to be released on the expiry of their tariff periods, the policy produced results which were manifestly unjust. The implementation of the policy meant that prisoners who were judged no longer dangerous were required to serve sentences approximately six months longer than they should.
The policy flouted the principles of common law and the European Convention. The common law required that a discretionary life prisoner be released after completion of the tariff period unless he continued to be dangerous. Article 5(4) required a speedy review of the lawfulness of the detention.
Where it was clear that the statutory provision which created the exercise of executive discretion was passed in order to bring domestic law in line with the convention, it would be perverse to hold that, when considering the lawfulness of the exercise of the discretion, the court must ignore the convention.
Nor could the policy be saved by invoking considerations of convenience and pragmatism where what was at stake was the liberty of the subject. It could not be stated too strongly that, once the prisoner had served the tariff period, he had paid the penalty imposed by the court to meet the needs of retribution and deterrence; detention thereafter could not be justified unless the prisoner continued to be dangerous. The ECHR had held that a period of eight weeks delay before a hearing was difficult to reconcile with the notion of "speedily".
However, the decision to refuse expedition of the hearings could not be impugned as irrational or unlawful.

Small plane crash in Pasco County
SPRING HILL, Fla. (970 WFLA) – Pasco County authorities say a small plane crashed into some water in Spring Hill just before 9:30 a.m. 11500 Pilot Country Drive.
Officials say the plane hit the water at the end of the runway while it was taxiing, so it was never in the air, and that there is a small fuel spill in the retention pond.
Authorities say the pilot, Stephen Barton, was not injured. He was evaluated at the scene by PascoCounty fire rescue members.
No one else was inside the plane at the time of the crash.
The plane, a 1958 Cessna 172, leaked about two gallons of fuel into the pond, which is located at the front of the small airport, officials said.

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have been listed, which means new listings most likley are leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About NaN% of the listings in the Dielman Rock Island Industrial Park are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft.
This region is fairly equally mixed residential and commercial. Arts, entertainment, and restaurants are the dominant industries in this region. Commute by car is the most popular way to get to work amongst Dielman Rock Island Industrial Park folk. Commuting between 30 and 45 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Ahead of yesterday's profits warning, Medeva seemed to have few detractors, apart from a nagging unease in some quarters about its break-neck growth. Starting as a speculative medical research tiddler, in four years it saw its market value soar from pounds 1m to peak at nearly pounds 600m.
But the problems in the US throw the firm's entire strategy into doubt. IMS was bought for dollars 54m last year and was supposed to make a strong profits contribution from 1993. However, it now seems unlikely to make any profit at least until next year.
Meanwhile, another key US purchase, MD Pharmaceuticals, has run into problems with the Food and Drug Administration. Although production is back to normal a final clearance from the FDA is not expected until later this year. What is already clear is that MD will not deliver the margins Medeva had hoped for.
Embarrassed analysts sitting on buy recommendations should now be asking tough questions about the company's management controls and whether they are good enough to avoid further shocks. But they cannot complain about the way they were warned, since Medeva followed the book by disclosing as soon as it could.
As for shareholders, three months after they backed a one-for-four rights issue at 180p a share, against the Independent's advice, they now face a capital loss as well as a probable earnings dilution. The shares are to be avoided.
There is a wider lesson about high- growth stocks. Medeva's problems have surfaced at a time when the market's faith has been sorely tested by the likes of Spring Ram and Hartstone. Spectacular returns always bear big risks.

When your Lincoln Mark VII left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values unique styling in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your Mark VII because you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement A/C Condenser to repair your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Lincoln Mark VII acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You will usually find your Lincoln Mark VII A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
Procuring new Lincoln parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Mark VII parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your Lincoln needs a top quality replacement A/C Condenser, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Need 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984 Lincoln Mark VII A/C Condenser parts? We've got them right here.

USD/CHF: technical picture
USD/CHF weakened yesterday to 0.9322, the lowest level since June 25, but then managed to close exactly at the 200-day MA at 0.9358.
The picture on the daily chart shows broad consolidation, though the risks are to the downside. The Ichimoku Cloud is extremely thin that means that neither bulls nor bears control the market.
On the H4 chart we see the pair is around the middle of a declining channel. Taking into account MACD divergence here there's some scope for a move a bit higher on the upside, to 0.9400/35. We expect the pair to be capped by the 100-day MA at 0.9442 though. Below 0.9360 the greenback will be vulnerable for a decline to 0.9250. On the upside, the outlook will become bullish above 0.9485/9500 (top of the Cloud, psychological level).

He said the only downer for the weekend was the home team losing a heartbreaker, 26-21, to LSU, but the south Florida prep standout noted although he was disappointed for Coach Tommy Tuberville's Tigers he liked what he saw on the field.
"That was just a tremendous football game," he said. "I really enjoyed it."
A six-foot-six, 310-pound offensive tackle from American Heritage High, his trip to Auburn was the first official visit for a prospect who has more than 30 scholarship offers.
Wheeler made a short trip to Auburn for a summer camp and got to work there with offensive line coach Hugh Nall. Nall liked the lineman enough to offer a scholarship. Wheeler spent more time with the Auburn coach on Sunday.
"I got to talk in-depth with Coach Nall, Coach (Eddie) Gran and Coach Tuberville and see how the whole shebang works," he said. Gran, who recruits running backs, is the south Florida area recruiting coach for the Tigers.
"The whole thing was an awesome visit," Wheeler said. "I like the coaches a lot and I liked the people I met.
"Lee Ziemba, the offensive tackle, took me out after the game and introduced me to a lot of people," Wheeler noted. "I like Lee a lot. He is an awesome guy who told me that Auburn is a great place to get an education and a great place to play football because everybody loves football there, which was something I could see."
One of Wheeler's primary considerations when choosing a college will be the engineering program. He spent part of his visit meeting with faculty and academic advisers. "I can see they are serious about academics, which is something I liked," he said.
The big lineman doesn't have any other official visit dates lined up, but said his next one will probably be to Vanderbilt. Wheeler and his parents made the official visit to Auburn after a Friday night game in Jacksonville as American Heritage suffered its first loss of the season, dropping a 21-13 decision to Bolles.
Wheeler, who attended an Auburn summer football camp this year, is rated as one of the Top 11 prospects in Broward County by the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel and one of the Top 10 prospects by the Miami Herald. He has started on high school varsity teams going all the way back to his seventh grade season.
Asked if his opinion on Auburn was higher or lower based on his official visit, he said, "It's definitely higher. I was really impressed with everything. I like Auburn a lot."

Networks enable computers and other devices to communicate. For example, networks can carry data representing video, audio, e-mail, and so forth. Typically, data sent across a network is divided into smaller messages known as packets. By analogy, a packet is much like an envelope you drop in a mailbox. A packet typically includes "payload" and a "header". The packet's "payload" is analogous to the letter inside the envelope. The packet's "header" is much like the information written on the envelope itself. The header can include information to help network devices handle the packet appropriately. For example, the header can include an address that identifies the packet's destination. A given packet may "hop" across many different intermediate network devices (e.g., "routers"; "bridges" and "switches") before reaching its destination.
A number of network protocols cooperate to handle the complexity of network communication. For example, a protocol known as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides "connection" services that enable remote applications to communicate. That is, much like picking up a telephone and assuming the phone company will make everything in-between work, TCP provides applications on different computers with simple commands for establishing a connection (e.g., CONNECT and CLOSE) and transferring data (e.g., SEND and RECEIVE). Behind the scenes, TCP transparently handles a variety of communication issues such as data retransmission, adapting to network traffic congestion, and so forth.
To provide these services, TCP operates on packets known as segments. Generally, a TCP segment travels across a network within ("encapsulated" by) a larger packet such as an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram. The payload of a segment carries a portion of a stream of data sent across a network. A receiver can reassemble the original stream of data from the received segments.
Potentially, segments may not arrive at their destination in their proper order, if at all. For example, different segments may travel very different paths across a network. Thus, TCP assigns a sequence number to each data byte transmitted. This enables a receiver to reassemble the bytes in the correct order. Additionally, since every byte is sequenced, each byte can be acknowledged to confirm successful transmission.
Occasionally, data transmission errors may occur. For example, due to signal noise, a "1" bit within a segment may be accidentally changed to a "0" or vice-versa. To enable detection of errors, the TCP header includes a "checksum" field. The value of the checksum is computed by storing zeroes in the segment's checksum field and then summing each byte in the segment using an arithmetic operation known as "one's complement addition".
Potentially, a segment may be modified multiple times.
A wide variety of similar approaches may be implemented. For example, instead of updating after each modification, an "adjustment value" may be accumulated based a series of packet modification and used to change the checksum only once.
Techniques described above may be used in a wide variety of implementations. For example,
In a thread-based implementation shown, the logic includes a packet receive thread 140 that performs initial operations on packets such as accumulating and storing the packets 140 in memory 152 as they arrive. A TCP thread 142 performs TCP operations on the segments such as maintaining a connection's TCP state, performing packet segmentation/reassembly, tracking sequence numbers sent/received/expected/acknowledged, and so forth (see Request for Comments (RFC) 793, 1122, and 1323).
The TCP thread 142 may notify an application thread 148 of a received segment. The application (e.g., an application operating at Layer 4 or greater with respect to the TCP/IP or Open Source Institute (OSI) protocol stack models) may perform a variety of operations on the segment payload including parsing and modifying data included in the packet payload. Examples of such applications include URL redirection, extensible Markup Language (XML) transaction monitoring, persistent HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) cookie load balancing, and so forth.
As shown, the application 148 can invoke a variety of procedures 150 (e.g., instructions of methods, functions, macros, subroutines, etc.) that can automatically handle checksum update operations for the application 148. These operations include operations that track application reads and writes to the segment and incrementally update the checksum accordingly.
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
Eventually, as shown in
Again, the checksum techniques may be implemented in a variety of ways on a variety of platforms. For example,
The network processor 200 shown features a collection of packet processing engines 204 integrated on a single die. The engines 204 shown each offer multiple threads of execution to process packets. As shown, the processor 200 also includes a core processor 210 (e.g., a StrongARM� XScale�) that is often programmed to perform "control plane" tasks involved in network operations. The core processor 210, however, may also handle "data plane" tasks and may provide additional packet processing threads.
As shown, the network processor 200 includes interfaces 202 that can carry packets between the processor 200 and other network components. For example, the processor 200 can feature a switch fabric interface 202 (e.g., a Common Switch Exchange (CSIX) interface) that enables the processor 200 to transmit a packet to other processor(s) or circuitry connected to the fabric. The processor 200 can also include an interface 202 (e.g., a System Packet Interface (SPI) interface) that enables to the processor 200 to communicate with physical layer (PHY) and/or link layer devices. The processor 200 also includes an interface 208 (e.g., a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus interface) to communicate, for example, with a host. As shown, the processor 200 also includes other components shared by the engines such as memory controllers 206, 212, a hash engine, and scratch pad memory.
The packet processing techniques described above may be implemented on a network processor, such as the network processor shown, in a wide variety of ways. For example, the threads described in
The incremental update operations provided can improve performance of a network processor 200. For example, the technique(s) can save engine computation cycles and reduce the memory bandwidth consumed in updating a checksum
As shown, the engine 204 includes a variety of local storage elements. For example, the engine 204 includes local memory 238, general purpose registers 236, and "next neighbor" registers 234 that enable the engine 204 to communicate directly with neighboring engines 204. The engine 204 also includes transfer registers 232 that buffer data sent to 232 a or received from 232 a other network processor 200 components such as the shared SRAM 212 or DRAM 206 controllers. The transfer registers 232 may be divided into two different sets of registers, e.g., one set for SRAM and one set for DRAM data.
The sample engine 204 shown provides multiple threads of execution. To support the multiple threads, the engine 204 includes program counters 222 for each thread. A thread arbiter 220 selects the program counter for a thread to execute. This program counter is fed to an instruction store 224 that outputs the instruction identified by the program counter to an instruction decode 226 unit. The instruction decode 226 unit may feed the instruction to an execution unit (e.g., an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and associated content addressable memory (CAM)) 230 for processing or may initiate a request to another network processor 200 component (e.g., a memory controller) via command queue 228.
Different implementations of checksum techniques described above may take advantage of the engine 204 architecture. For example, when a portion of segment data is retrieved from memory (e.g.,
In greater detail, the CAM entry 240 shown stores the base address 240 a of the packet 160 in memory (e.g., 152 in
The data 256 associated with a given segment can include the segment's current checksum value 242. The data 256 may also store data that maps a portion of the packet 160 to its cached location within the transfer registers 232 a (or other memory). For example, as shown, the data 256 may identify the starting 244 and ending 246 offset of a given portion relative to the start of a segment's payload. The data 256 may also include data to map the portion of the payload identified by the offsets 244, 246 to local storage. For instance, the data may identify the number 248, 252 of transfer registers storing the cached segment portion and the respective number of bytes 250, 254 within the registers used.
As an example, bytes 10 through 20 of a segment's payload may be read from memory and stored in 4-byte portions of two adjacent SRAM transfer registers followed by a 3-byte portion of a third transfer register. Thus, the starting offset 244 would have a value of 10 and the ending offset 246 would have a value of 20. The SRAM transfer registers used 248 would have a value of 3 and the number of SRAM transfer register bytes used 250 would have a value of 11. A write to byte-12 of the payload would fall within the starting 244 (10) and ending 246 (20) offsets. The transfer register data 248-250 can then be used to map the payload-relative byte number to a location within the transfer registers. That is, byte-12 of the payload would map to byte-3 in the first transfer register since byte-1 in the first transfer register is mapped to byte.10 of the payload. An incremental checksum update could be computed after the write.
Potentially, an incremental update of the checksum may not be possible in a given implementation. For example, an implementation may rely on an application to read payload data before writing to that piece of a segment. If this constraint is not honored by the application, the data being altered may not be in transfer registers 268. In such a case, the checksum may be invalidated 272 (e.g., by writing zero to the overall checksum value). Once invalidated, subsequent writes need not trigger 264 incremental checksum adjustment. Other implementations, however, may automatically read a given piece of the payload when a write "outside" the currently cached data occurs.
The technique(s) described above may be implemented in a variety of devices. For example, the checksum logic may be incorporated within a TCP Offload Engine ("TOE") that at least partially alleviates the burden of TCP related operations on host processor(s).
The offload engine 306 may be implemented using a variety of components. For example, the engine 306 may include one or more network processors such as the IXP described above. Whether the offload engine uses the IXP, other network processor, or a design not featuring network processors (e.g., an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or other hardware, firmware, or software, implementing the incremental checksum update can potentially increase the overall throughput of the offload engine 306.
In addition to the TOE shown in
The term packet was sometimes used in the above description to refer to a TCP segment. However, the term packet also encompasses a frame, fragment, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell, and so forth, depending on the network technology being used.
The term circuitry as used herein includes hardwired circuitry, digital circuitry, analog circuitry, programmable circuitry (e.g., a processor or engine), and so forth. The programmable circuitry may operate on computer programs such as programs coded using a high level procedural or object oriented programming language. However, the program(s) can be implemented in assembly or machine language if desired. The language may be compiled or interpreted. Additionally, these techniques may be used in a wide variety of networking environments.

Welding is the joining of two metal or thermoplastic parts through melting and fusing to form a strong bond. Because the bond formed is as strong as or stronger than the sum of the two parts, some welded parts can and do last longer than some marriages. Homebuilders, hot rod enthusiasts, and garage mechanics are not the only ones who use welders.. The manufacturing industries rely heavily on welders to perform key processes such as metal fabrication, assembling metal structures, and plating industrial boilers and heat exchangers, or to build ships, manufacture cars, or beams for bridges and pipes for refineries as well as for repairing their equipment.
With so many welder types and constructions in brick and mortar and online stores, a befuddled shopper might find it hard to settle on the right one for his or her needs. With a helpful guide to clarify the confusing aspects of welder shopping and to offer useful tips for selecting and buying the ideal one on eBay,, where some sellers offer free and fast shipping, the buyer is ready to go.
Welding Laid Bare
Welding is the easiest and most popular method of joining two metal or plastic parts together, whether at home, in the garage, at the factory, or even in space or underwater. The most common types of metal welded are aluminium, steel, and brass, although modern welding methods have incorporated thermoplastics. The process melts the two parts into a weld pool, and then adds molten filler. After that, pressure, heat, or simple cooling forms a tough joint. The difference between soldering and welding is that while soldering uses a metal with a low melting point, welding melts all the materials using extremely high heat.
A little research always goes a long way, and the Internet is a great tool for this. Shoppers should ask knowledgeable people for advice on welders in welding forums and sites as well as visit manufacturer website for more information on their welders of interest. Research not only increases a consumer's knowledge about the welder but also allows them to know what they want so they do not settle for less when shopping.
Types of Welders
There are five different types of welders, the Arc, Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), Flux, and Spot Welders. While all are good for outdoor work and can work well in windy conditions, each welding style is distinctive when it comes to the welding process, the type of material it works with, the thickness of the material, and the scale of the task.
Arc Welders
Arc welders use either Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC) to create an electric arc between an electrode and a foundation material that melts the two parts for joining. They usually use shielding gas to protect the weld pool and are popular and widely used across many industries but especially so in the car manufacture, metal fabrication, agriculture industry and for maintenance and repair of pipelines. Arc welders typically work quickly and well with aluminium metals, but the welding process is not neat so and results in a lot of metal spatter. They do not require as much skill as the TIG welders.
MIG Welders
Metal Inert Gas welders use an automatic wire feed process for welding. They are straightforward for beginners and intermediate operators to work with because of their lower welding times, simpler techniques, and easier control options when compared to the other types; however, they do require an external shielding gas to protect the weld. They are highly productive, thus ideal for industrial fabrication processes or car restoration. MIG welders weld steel, cast iron, copper, brass, and stainless steel, and produce cleaner welds with less slag, that sooty coating from some welders. Another common name for this type of welding process is Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW).
TIG Welders
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welders use a tungsten electrode and high-frequency generator in their welding process. They are relatively refined and complicated with a very precise process that only skilled operators can follow. Though they cost a pretty penny, the result is strong, aesthetic, quality welding, good enough for aircrafts and submarines. They mostly weld aluminium, which cannot be welded with regular wire feed welders, as well as steel, copper, titanium, brass, and magnesium, at low speeds and with little slag and metal spatter. Another name for this process is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).
Flux Welders
Flux welders use a hollow electrode full of flux material in their semi-automatic wire feed process that requires a constant power supply. Flux welders are good with or without shielding gas and do not produce much slag. They are ideal for steel and stainless steel welding on construction sites and automotive manufacture because of their high speed and therefore increased productivity. While they do not require as much skill as the TIG welders and work well with dirty or rusty material, their equipment is rather costly and produces a lot more smoke than any other type of welder.
Spot Welders
Spot welders pass a current between the two parts that need joining and the metals' resistance fuses the joint. They are ideal for light industrial applications, such as welding car body panels using steel or stainless steel, because they pass a lot of electric current in very little time. Unfortunately, this causes many molten sparks to fly all over. Many spot welding processes in the manufacturing industry use robots to operate the welders, calling this robot welding. Another name for spot welding is Resistance Spot Welding (RSW). The following table shows the five most common types of welders along with their features and uses.

As the above table shows, the use of different types of welders gives varying benefits to the operator. Shoppers should select a welder that can meet the needs of the task they have in mind, as well as one that is versatile enough to use for other welding jobs.
Factors to Consider when Shopping for Welders for Manufacturing
To shop wisely for welders and get great deals, consumers need to consider a number of factors, including the welder's duty cycle, compatibility with their existing equipment, the type of power source, and the thickness of the metal parts they want to join. They should also factor in the condition of the welder, as it affects the price and their budget.
Metal Thickness
The thickness of the type of metal parts that require welding is important, as different types of welders vary by degrees with regard to the metal thicknesses that are most optimal for them. Welders with a high power output are the only ones that can work with deep metals. For example, the flux welder is perfect for thick metals, while MIG and TIG welders are right for thin sheets of metal, no more than 12 mm thick, or they heat up the parts and make them too hot. Miscalculating and using a thick metal in place of a thin one on the welder can result in damage.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the number of minutes or percentage of a 10-minute period that a welder can operate at maximum output. For example, if the duty cycle is 20 per cent, then the welder can run at maximum output for two minutes and then cool with the fan for the remaining eight in the 10-minute cycle. Ergo, an 80-per cent cycle means running for eight minutes and cooling for two in every ten minutes. Duty cycles help users eliminate heat damage to the welder; thus, thicker metals and larger tasks require welders with a higher duty cycle.
In the manufacturing industry, power is a key factor and performance depends on the type of power source. While electric sources are mostly for indoor use, gas offers a readily available option for the outdoors with portable welders. The amount of power the welder requires is another consideration and is dependent on the size of the job at hand and how often the owner plans to use it. While consumers think of the overall costs and overheads, they should also consider energy efficiency since the welder does not always use up all that energy. Most welders have an efficiency rating of 70 per cent, although use of an inverter increases energy efficiency to 80 per cent, thereby reducing electric costs.
A consumer's requirements and budget usually determine the condition of the welder they purchase. New or premium-quality welders always cost more than the used ones in good working condition. Many of the welders for sale are in new, used, manufacturer refurbished,, or seller refurbished conditions. A used welder in excellent working condition is easy on the pocketbook, at a fraction of what a new one would cost. Refurbished welders are not too bad either, because the seller or manufacturer replaced all their faulty parts so they are almost as good as new.
A handy tip for shoppers is to check that the welders they are considering are compatible with their existing equipment, hardware, and power supply, which will save them from frustration, damage to the machines, and costly replacement. Some industrial welders work with specific types of metals and not with others: for example, the MIG welder can cause damage if used on aluminium, which is better welded with a TIG one. The material must be weldable in the first place, and this includes thermoplastics, which are relatively new on the market.
Tips for Buying Welders for Manufacturing on eBay
A handy tip for shopping on eBay is to search with a simple keyword, such as 'welders&', using the search bar that is conveniently placed on every page, even the home page. The results are in the thousands to accommodate every consumer's requirements. Do not fret, though: you can filter through to a more manageable number using price, condition, location, and even distance to the nearest few kilometres.
Go through the descriptions and photos of the listings, checking for condition, compatibility, and the right specifications. Choosing items from top-rated sellers could pleasantly surprise you. Credible eBay sellers take time to answer your questions about their listings, so ask away. With local sellers, you can ask for a quick demonstration of the welder when picking it up yourself. Once it arrives, do let the seller know and leave them feedback. Check to ensure that you have the proper safety equipment, then get some sparks flying.
Hints for Safe Welding
Safety is paramount when welding. Lack of proper personal protective equipment and failure to adhere to all safety measures is hazardous to both the operator and others, as it may cause burns, fires, eye injury, toxic gas poisoning, explosions, electric shock, and, in some cases, death.
When buying welders, consumers should consider also shopping for appropriate welding masks, gloves, sleeves, blankets, and auto darkening helmets as well, if they do not already own these. The extreme temperatures in the welding environment, the molten metal, and the UV light the welding produces brook no substitutes for safety. It is also important that operators position the welder in a well-ventilated location away from combustible materials.
Welders are the backbone of the manufacturing industry, as many stages of the manufacturing process need welding, such as in metal fabrication or in boiler-plating massive structures, usually done by robots for safety. There are many reasons consumers look for welders. They might want to save money on replacing broken equipment by investing in a new welder, or they may wish to upgrade their old welder to an improved one with more features.
Whether they opt to buy online or in brick and mortar stores, time spent on research is time well spent because it rewards the buyer with familiarity and confidence when shopping for their welder. For instance, when given a choice between a MIG and a TIG welder, they know what works best for their needs. When they also consider the factors outlined above while purchasing, like the duty cycle, condition, and compatibility features of welders, then they are sure to get good value for their money.

THE Private Institutions Section, Ministry of Education (MoE), with the cooperation of the Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Advancement (ILIA), Universiti Brunei Darussalam organised a talk for principals/headmasters and teachers from private schools.
The talk on Polio Points Programme was conducted at ILIA and was attended by 20 participants comprising two representatives from each private school.
The talk was carried out following the success of the Polio Points Programme run by International School Brunei (ISB) initiated by an Australian teacher d'Arcy Lunn and sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank.
Seeing the success of the programme, the organiser has invited d'Arcy Lunn to present his talk on conducting similar programmes to be implemented by other private schools in the country and to discuss on how to run such initiatives.
Lunn is a global educator who began his career as a teacher in Australia before moving on as an educator in over 65 countries and after working in Ethiopia, he created his own global-awareness presentation cycling tour around Aotearoa, New Zealand.
He then established the youth and schools programmes for Global Poverty Project (GPP) in Australia, an organisation he found while in New Zealand.
Last year, he finished a six-month misison with United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in Uganda working as a communications specialist for routine immunisation and polio eradication stemming from work with UNICEF Pakistan and India in 2012.
"I also run a number of my own initiatives including Teaspoons of Change; Happy, simply; and Polio Points and to date I have been privileged to give over 400 global awareness presentations to more than 38,000 people mostly in schools but also conferences, keynote speeches, rotary clubs and various events," he said.
His Teaspoons of Change initiative is about personal choices, decisions and actions that have positive impact on people and the planet, the Happy, simply initiative is on a sustainable lifestyle model and education project with two tiny homes built and Polio Points is an award and reward system helping to end polio, one point at a time.
