The present invention relates to a device for identifying and obtaining information about an object and, more particularly, to a device which identifies an object or components thereof using an omnidirectional bar code having the same shape as the object.
Several educational aids are known in which representations of objects are associated with the names of respective objects. For example, a child may be taught to spell by printing on the page of a book, a picture of an apple, and printing the word apple alongside the picture. Similarly, a vocabulary in a foreign language can be acquired by learning the foreign language names printed alongside the representations of respective objects.
According to the invention there is provided a document including the representation of an object and an identification code, a code reader and a transducer device for converting the output of the code reader into humanly detectable (such as audio or visual) signals representing the word describing the object. The identification code may be visible, such as a printed bar code, or invisible, such as a magnetized strip. The transducer preferably comprises a microprocessor having a store, means to compare the output of the code reader with signals in the store and to select the closet signal, and means to generate the detectable signal in response to the selected signal. A visual signal can be shown, for example, on a LCD display. The audio signal may be generated by a speech synthesizer.
A code is a way of representing information. In a bar code, a pattern of light and dark lines is used to do this. A scanner converts this pattern into electrical impulses which are interpreted by a bar code reader. The information in a bar code is stored in a linear form and the pattern needs to be scanned from one end to the other in order to be read correctly. Most bar codes are now bi-directional and the bar code itself can be scanned from both left to right and right to left. The scanning device can either be pulled across the bar code from one end to the other, or, as in the case of a moving beam scanner, the scanner moves a light beam across the bar code. In both beam scanners, the scanner moves a light beam across the bar code. In both cases, the alignment between the axis of the bar code and the movement of the scanner or scanning beam is a critical factor. In situations where this alignment is practically difficult to achieve, as in supermarket checkouts, multiple moving beam scanners have been developed to deal with the problem. By their nature they are bulky, large, and necessarily stationary devices. This invention proposes to use an entirely different approach to the problem of aligning the printed code and the scanning beam by using an omnidirectional symbology of a linear symbology. In a linear symbology, the code is a series of light and dark vertical lines arranged in sequence in a straight line in space. The omnidirectional code substitutes for this a series of light and dark lines arranged in sequence as rings one within another. A ring is defined herein as a closed curve, not necessarily a circle. A scanner's beam cutting across the circumference will be able to read the information irrespective of the direction from which it intersects the rings as they will always be in the same sequence and the alignment is no longer a critical issue. The only critical feature is that the scan must intersect the smallest ring if the whole code is to be read, but by making the significance of the code elements correspond to their distance from the centre, then a reasonably accurate reading of such a code will be achieved even if a few of the innermost rings are not scanned. A partly read code will at least give an idea of the generic nature of the object, if not its full classification.
This type of code lends itself to the educational apparatus described above, although it clearly has independent utility. A conventional bar code will be located adjacent the object on the document to which it relates, but there is always the chance that the user will be confused as to which code relates to which object. The improved closed ring code can be arranged so that its rings encircle the object itself, so that by scanning the object the user will scan the code automatically. This will avoid any confusion between the relationship of code to object. The direction of scan is not significant. The rings can be printed, but to avoid "cluttering up" the representations on the document, invisible codes (such as magnetic patterns) may be preferred.
Another advantage of the ring codes is that the inner rings may be used to denote components of the object denoted by the outer rings. For example, the document may show a car (automobile) with a door and a handle on the door. The innermost rings of the code will be located encircling the handle, the middle rings will be located to encircle the door and the outer rings will encircle the car. If all the rings are scanned, the display (audio or visual) will be of a car door handle; if the innermost rings are bypassed the display will be of a car door; and if only the outer rings are scanned, the display will be of the car alone.
An example of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a document,
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of document data processing signals,
FIG. 3 is another document, and
FIG. 4 is a code diagram corresponding to FIG. 3.
The document shown in FIG. 1 is a simplified representation of a street scene, containing a dog 11, a man 12, a car 13, a lamppost 14 and a church 15. Bar codes 16 are printed on the document on or alongside the respective representations. A bar code reader 21 (FIG. 2) is applied to one of the bar codes 16 and the output from the reader is compared in a microprocessor 22 with signals in a store 23 appropriate to the various objects represented. A comparison device 24 in the microprocessor selects the stored signal closest to the output from the bar code reader and the selected signal is applied to an LCD display 25 to display the word describing the selected object. Alternatively, a speech synthesizer 26 can be driven by the selected signal to generate the spoken word describing the selected object.
The device can be used to provide a vocabulary in different languages simply by changing the means for driving the LCD display or speech synthesizer from the selected signal. The microprocessor may be provided with a printed circuit board 27 for each of several languages, and means 28 may be provided in the microprocessor for selecting one of the boards so that the device operates in a selected language.
If it is desired that the representation on the document should not be obstructed by visible codes, such as the bar codes 16 mentioned above, invisible codes could be used, for example, those formed by magnetized strips, although some indication would have to be given on the document of the location where the code reader would have to be applied, for example, a coloured panel or box outline. The code reader would sense the magnetization pattern on the strip to provide an electrical signal similar in form to the output of the bar code reader.
The traditional bar code, as illustrated in the drawings, is a linear device and it is necessary for the code reader to move within a restricted range of angles in order to read it. According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a bar code in which the bars are arranged in a family of closed curves, one within the other, instead of straight lines as in the conventional code. With this arrangement, the reader can move in any direction across the code and provided that it passes through the innermost circle, it will be able to read the code correctly, irrespective of its direction of travel. Such a bar code has application not only to the particular arrangements already described, but also to any bar code situation.
FIG. 3 shows the car 31 with a door 32 and a handle 33 on the door, as described above. FIG. 4 shows the closed ring codes used on the document to denote these components. These codes may be printed on the document or may be invisibly located on the document, for example, as magnetic patterns. Each code comprises a family of closed curves following the outline of the component--the width and spacing of the curves denoting the data of the code, as in a conventional bar code. The ring code for the handle 33 is located entirely within the ring code for the door 32 which itself is entirely within the ring code for the car 31.
A scan on line C--C of FIG. 4 will intersect the rings for the car 31 alone, and the display at 25/26 will thus relate to the car alone. A scan on line B--B will intersect the rings for the car 31 and the door 32 and so the display 25/26 will relate to a car door. A scan on line A--A will intersect all the rings and so the display 25/26 will relate to a car door handle.
With this arrangement the user does not have to worry about which code (or code location if the code itself is invisible) corresponds to the object and so there is no chance of an incorrect code selection.

If you've got a spare couple of weeks and you fancy getting off the beaten track and hitting the road, there can't be many better European road trips than the Romantic Road through Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Named because of its original use by Roman soldiers as they marched through Europe, it's a popular honeymoon destination by complete coincidence. The stunning scenery, beautiful castles, and interesting cities make it the ultimate road trip.
1. You'll fall in love with the scenery
When you think of Germany, you might not think of tree-lined roads, great, towering castles, and beautiful river views, but with the Romantic Road, that's exactly what you get. Located in southern Germany, it's off the heavily beaten tourist track of the north, although it's not surprising that it's growing in popularity. The medieval cities, churches, and castles dotting the dramatic, hilly landscape make the route truly unique.

Nigerian-born, England-based author Helen Oyeyemi is considered a literary prodigy. By the time Helen was 19 years old, she'd signed a two-book deal, reportedly worth $1 million. Now almost 30 Helen Oyeyemi has written five critically acclaimed novels. Her latest novel, Boy, Snow, Bird, is a whole new take on the fairy tale Snow White. She discussed her latest work with Eleanor Wachtel on CBC Radio's Writers & Company. You can listen to that interview in the audio player:
In Boy, Snow, Bird, Boy stands in for the evil queen, Snow is the stepdaughter and Bird is the queen's daughter. Doubles, mirror images, metamorphosis, dreams, and peculiar love relationships have come to mark Oyeyemi's work. "It is a book about mirrors and reflections," Oyeyemi said. The character Snow has a double, and the character Boy "admits in the first chapter that she's obsessed with her own image and mirrors."
Oyememi's retelling of Snow White challenges the 'fairest of them all' element of the fairy tale. "It's about them being skeptical of mirrors and...the weight we place on mirrors to reflect the truth of things," she said. "But it's also [about] mirrors being quite puzzled and unable to do their job around certain people." In the story of Snow White, Snow White trusts what the mirror says, where Oyeyemi believes we should be more skeptical about what we see reflected back at us. "We can sometimes look into mirrors and think that that's all there is."
Mirrors play a magical role in the novel, but there's realism in the relationships, especially between parent and child. "I looked at the source story, and I tried to figure out what the source story is trying to transmit to us about mothers and stepmothers and I sort of go down that maze," she said.
The book also adds an element of race that Snow White didn't have. The main characters grow up in a small town in Massachusetts in the 1960s. "I don't know if it's because reading it as a person who is not white, you read it and the beauty of Snow lies in the whiteness of her skin and so the kind of retelling I was going to take on was going to have to include that," she said. "It felt right to set it in a time just on the cusp of the civil rights movement."

Pay heed to Chick. He has written excellent posts on subject. I only disagree
if potted plant is all artificial medium, and especially if potbound. I do
feel feel medium should all be shaken off. Believe I lean a bit towards Ran's

181 acres in Granville County, North Carolina
8762 Grassy Creek Rd, Bullock, NC 27507
Latitude: 36.494957781569504
Longitude: -78.61198425292969
This is the finest managed tract we at Valentine Land and Timber have listed in years. This type of tract only comes for sale once in a decade, or a lifetime. If you have dreamed of having a tract that hunts bigger than the deeded acreage this is it. There is 12 food plots totaling 20 plus acres, all in perinuals such as clover, chicory. There is plots with annuals for the turkeys and quail on the property, such as millets,sorghum, and cow peas. This is a great property that will be something that you will not need to work hard to enjoy. Manage and produce quailty time with family and friends. There is a nice well kept single wide for a nice over night lodging with a coverd porch that looks out over a pond and food plot. There is a tractor shed that has plenty of storage for any tractors and atv/utv's you might have. There is a 100 yard rifle range out the back door that has a back stop. This is a turn key ready for you to step into the farm of your dreams with tower stands in place and tripods that are well placed in the number of food plots and shooting lanes. There is two year around water holes on the property that afford constant waterhole during drought years, and firelanes almost completely around the perimater of the property. Over four miles of internal roads and trails in the property that allow you to slip and access all the many stands and fields.
This is very nice area with little dog hunting pressure, there is a 1000 ft of dog proof fence on the southern boundry. The food plots and the management on this farm draws deer and turkeys for 1 sq mile. There is not any agriculture for 2500 acres adjioning this tract, this is the food source for this deer herd. There has been numerous 160 to 170 plus deer killed in the 5 mile raduis of this farm.
The timber management is ready for you to start the investment and begin the cash flow for the future. Clear cut and allowed for natural regeneration in 1992. This tract has 23 acre of good Lobbolly pine that could be thinned and a mix of white and red oak timber thoughout the farm. There is an abundance of ceder thickets, and areas of dense brushy areas. From a wildlife managment stand point they are great but with fire and thining this tract can be taken to the next level. The farm has areas for clear cutting and chipping and replanting that would make for a great internal bedding area. That also would insure the future investment return on pine timber.

Last month, the Lord Chief Justice delivered guidance clearing the way for Tweeting from Court.
The new guidance suggests that there will no longer any need for representatives of the media or 'legal commentators' to make an application to use textbased devices to communicate from court – primarily in the event that they should wish to Tweet proceedings.
The guidance appears to have been written primarily with criminal cases in mind. The paper states that "the danger…is likely to be most acute in the context of criminal trials."
However, the guidance also has significant implications for commercial litigation and, in particular, litigation PR.
Litigation PR has long been accepted as part and parcel of disputes in the USA, and has gained increasing traction in the UK in recent years. To paraphrase the words of Harriet Harman, it is possible to win a case in a Court of law whilst simultaneously losing it in the Court of Public Opinion.
Twitter is, by and large, a consumer-focussed forum. So the first question one might ask when reading this article is whether the masses of users are really likely to take a major interest in commercial litigation.
My answer to that would be yes. You only need to look at the level of public interest in matters such as the Berezovsky versus Abramovich showdown or phone-hacking litigation to know that, yes, the public do take a keen interest in the law at certain points.
Furthermore, it is not hard to imagine a scenario where litigation around a consumer product (lets say breast implants, for instance) could become a major topic of conversation on Twitter that could have significant implications for a brand's image.
Brands will be keen to protect their reputation. And so the argument follows, they will seek to manage how litigation is reported – both in traditional and new media – to create an accurate and balanced picture.
So the question then becomes this: what exactly does one need to do to qualify as a 'legal commentator'? Do you need to be a card-carrying member of the NUJ, for instance? Or will PR agents and others be equally free to Tweet on litigation – even where they have an axe to grind.
I think that's an important point that requires clarification. Imagine a scenario where a big corporate – lets for the sake of argument an unpopular bank – is in court litigating against an individual. A NUJ card-carrying journalist turns up to Tweet the proceedings.
Let's say that journalist is of socialist sympathies and isn't exactly impartial (heaven forbid). He or she may choose only to Tweet those elements of the proceedings which are detrimental to the bank's case, regardless of the validity of the arguments. So the outside world doesn't get a balanced view, and assumes guilt. The judge's job is to ensure there is no miscarriage of justice – but his or her job does not include ensuring fair and accurate reporting to the outside world.
In that scenario, would a PR agent engaged by the bank have equal freedom to Tweet, or would that freedom be denied because they are not a qualified Court reporter?
It may seem a moot point – who would trust the spin doctor? Well, in an age when fewer and fewer reporters are actually able to physically make it to the Courts, traditional media – and perhaps even the public – may want a version of accounts from both sides. Already, various Police Forces issue press releases based on criminal trials which are heavily relied upon by the media for reporting purposes.
Whether Tweeting from Court does emerge as a major reputational threat remains to be seen . However, in the meantime, the point is clear. A new battleground has been opened up in the way in which communication during litigation is handled. Those that fail to allow for and address this reputational issue in their assessment of risk and litigation strategy are unlikely to impress their clients.

Workshop: Blog
How David Bergen found his first story
The Giller Prize-winning author of The Time in Between describes the paradigm shift that led to his first published story.
It took me ten years to write a proper story. I floundered about trying to shape something, counting on the 'feeling' I had as I wrote, only to discover upon re-reading my work that the feeling had disappeared and what remained was an empty shell. I refused at first to believe that my own experience, my own past, had anything to offer me. I wrote stories set in foreign places to which I had never traveled. My characters were British, they had strange accents, and they were certainly not Mennonite or lowly. They ate dinner, not supper.
And then, one day, I sat down to write about my older brother, who was a bush pilot and missionary in Irian Jaya. I called him Timothy and the narrator was Thomas and within a few lines the facts disappeared and imagination took over and I was writing a story that came out of my own experience, but it was fiction. The story wrote quickly, I called it 'Where You're From' and I sent it out, as I had numerous other stories over the years. Except this time I got a letter back saying that it would be published. Someone out there had liked the story. I was thirty-one years old.

Very good food & service for the price. They truly care & it shows! Your food is prepared in an open kitchen where part of the experience is watching the preparation, if you desire. Parking may be a small problem as they do have very busy times.....may have to circle a couple times. No big thing!
They have great Pizza but Tom's BLT Salad is awesome. It is a salad with hot bacon dressing. I get this about once a week and sometimes twice a week. I always get Pisanello's for our staff meeting lunches. They have something for everyone. The staff is always kind and very helpful. They know most of their customers by name.
Great pizza, crust in the thin side like I like. Sauce was on the sweeter side like I like topping were generous. friendly service
18 inch deluxe pizza - five toppings - cost me $32.00. Very expensive in my opinion. Toppings had to come from a can - everything was mealy and lacked flavor. Based on the quality and price I wont be back but - as I was finishing my meal, I noticed the food preparation area. NO one was wearing gloves. They... 更多
You should try this place ~ Voted best pizza in Warren County, Ohio. I've eaten here multiple times and I truly think each time it get's better.

There are two main kinds of documents, in my experience. The first kind is like something a word processor would save, or a user profile. With that sort of data, you want to denormalize "until it hurts". Basically you want to be able to load the document in one request, and get something that makes sense enough to display. There is a technique for creating "virtual" documents by using views to collate data together. You could use this to store each attribute of your user profiles in a different document, but I wouldn't recommend it. Virtual documents are useful in cases where the presented view will be created by merging the work of different authors - for instance the reference example, a blog post and it's comments in one query: http://www.cmlenz.net/archives/2007/10/couchdb-joins This "virtual document" idea takes us to the other kind of document - the event log. Use this is cases where you don't trust user input, or need to trigger an asynchronous job. This records the user action as an event, so only minimal validation needs to occur at save-time. It's when you load the doc for further work that you'd check for complex relational-style constraints. You can treat documents as state machines, with a combination of user input and background processing managing document state. You'd use a view by state to pull out the relevant document - changing it's state would move it in the view. This approach is also useful for logging - combined with the batch=ok performance hint, CouchDB should make a fine log store, and reduce views are ideal for finding things like average response time or highly-active users.

Mumbai, Jan 22 (UNI) The Crime Branch Unit IX of city police have solved a jewellery theft worth Rs 35 lakh at Juhu, a western suburb, on October 23 last year by arresting five persons in this connection.
Acting on a tip-off, the Crime Branch sleuths arrested five persons for their alleged involvement in the robbery of 3.5 kg gold jewellery near Dharilal Jewellers at S V Road, in Juhu, last October, Joint Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria told reporters here today.
The arrested accused were identified as Faziram Manu (28), Vikram alias Vikky (31), Subrahmanian Naidu (27), Govind Teli (21) and Ajay Naidu (32).
Police have recovered 150 mobile phones, 10 laptops and 1.5 kg of jewellery worth Rs 16 lakh from their possession.
Mohammed Amin Ansari, who delivers gold ornaments to different jewellers in the city, in his complainant on October 23, stated that he was sitting in the car and his associate had gone to deliver the goods to Dharilal Jewellers. Meanwhile, a person approached and told him his ten rupee note had fallen down. Searching for the note, Ansari got down from the vehicle. Taking advantage on this, the other accused removed a bag containing 3.5 kg of jewellery from the car and fled away.

AOL Time Warner stock fell yesterday on speculation that more layoffs were coming. Jim Whitney, a spokesman for AOL Time Warner, declined to comment, but Wall Street analysts and some employees said they expected layoffs to begin this week. The cuts would be the second major round of layoffs this year at the company, the world's largest Internet and media company. The company cut about 2,400 jobs in January. John Corcoran, an analyst at CIBC World Markets, who met with J. Michael Kelly, AOL Time Warner's chief financial officer, on Friday, said that the company was looking to cut costs in its cable and music divisions. Mr. Corcoran said he had no specific knowledge of layoffs and maintained a strong buy on the stock. Last month, Gerald M. Levin, chief executive of AOL Time Warner, said that advertising revenue was stabilizing and that he did not expect to make specific layoffs.

Residents welcome relocation of Holden Heights Community Center
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - The Holden Heights Community Center can no longer stay where it's been for the last 20 years. The expansion of Interstate 4 is forcing the center to move from its facility on LB McLeod Road.
Channel 9's Racquel Asa learned that the community is welcoming the change.
The sound of the interstate has always been a part of the Holden Heights Community Center because the roadway runs right by the center's
back yard. But the expansion of the interstate will take the property the center sits on.
A letter sent by the state to the center said organizers need to find a new location by June 2014.
John Smith said started coming to the center when the building first opened.
Smith said he welcomes the move because gatherings at the center are getting too crowded.
"We have to turn people away that want to become a part of the organization because it's just that great," said Smith.
chain-link fence and overgrown grass occupy the county property where a new $4.5 million community center will be built.
Preliminary drawings show it will be six times the size of the current facility.
The state paid the county $900,000 for the land by I-4, the rest of the money for the center's relocation will come from grants and taxpayers.
"The building will be there for community purposes and more community events," said Claudette Grubbs, with the Holden Heights Community Center.
Smith said even though the building will soon be gone, it won't be forgotten.
"The memories will always be here," said Smith.

Ultimately, the institute is expected to grow beyond these three initial founding institutions to incorporate other universities and medical schools worldwide.
The aim for the institute is to facilitate collaborative research and accelerate the development of novel bioengineering, diagnostic, and biomedical products. The areas highlighted for research, which are still being discussed, are expected to include cancer, diabetes, infectious and cardiovascular diseases, as well as disorders of the nervous system.
"The creation of this cross-continent research institute immediately brings all three campuses together in the name of scientific discovery," remarks Upstate's Steven Goodman, Ph.D., vp for research and dean of the College of Graduate Studies. Dr. Goodman will serve as the institute's executive director and be responsible for the daily activities.
"The purpose of the institute is to bring together top scientists in the biological, physical, mathematical, engineering, and computer sciences to form interdisciplinary teams aimed at solving essential issues in human health and society."
Upstate's annual research expenditures approach $40 million, according to the University, with activity in nervous system disorders, diabetes, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infectious diseases.
Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is reportedly Israel's oldest university and acts as a center for scientific and technological research. It has a medical school and couples research in nanotechnology, fiber optics, and other areas with work in the life sciences and medicine.
NCKU is approximately 155.35 miles (250 km) south of Taipei. It has evolved from its engineering genesis to become a research center and university for the Asia Pacific region.

So it is all going to be all right then. The German taxpayer will back the recapitalisation of Europe's banks and will throw a lifeline to Spain and Italy.
Click here to view the graphic
Share prices, particularly of the banks, leap in what is known as a relief rally. Ireland celebrates the possibility that it might be able to return to the markets to fund itself. Angela Merkel, at 4.30 last Friday morning, caved in to the massed ranks of other EU leaders. This week the European Central Bank will cut interest rates. Europe can breathe again.
Except it is not really like that, is it? The latest EU summit, number 19 since the Greek crisis unfolded, is more of the same. Gradually, inexorably, the burden of holding the eurozone together is being loaded onto Germany, because only Germany is perceived as credit-worthy enough to bear the burden. Indeed Germany remains, just, the most creditworthy nation on earth. If you take 10-year bond yields as a proxy for strength, she can borrow more cheaply than the UK and even the US.
As Mrs Merkel told the German parliament just ahead of the summit: "Germany is an economic engine and an anchor of stability in Europe, but not even Germany's forces are infinite. Not even Germany's strength is unlimited; we must also not overestimate Germany's strength. If we take that to heart, then Germany's forces can be fully effective for the benefit of our country and for the benefit of Europe.
"If we do not take that to heart, then everything we are planning, agreeing, implementing would ultimately be worthless, because it would be clear that it demanded too much of Germany and that would, in turn, have unforeseeable consequences for Germany and Europe. We will not allow that to happen."
The question a week or so ago was whether Germany would indeed deploy its economic strength, in the months to come, I expect the focus will shift more and more to the limits of German strength.
The starting point here is that the divergence between German funding costs and those of the two largest weak economies, Spain and Italy, is huge. For savers, it is as though the euro never existed. You can catch a feeling for this from the graph, which shows the gap between German 10-year yields and those of Spain, Italy, Belgium and France. The right-hand side of the graph will be a familiar one to readers here, but have a look also at the left-hand side. Before the euro was invented Spain and Italy had to pay between 4 to 6 percentage points more to borrow than Germany because people feared that they might devalue their currency, which they had periodically done since the Second World War.
Now the gap is essentially the same, a bit less for Italy and a bit more for Spain. You are not going to reverse that in a few months. Even France and Belgium are back to their pre-euro relationship with Germany. Indeed, looking at that graph, you could conclude that the oddity is the long, flat period where the yield gap had disappeared, not the present divergence of rates. For savers, there is a renewed awareness that leopards do not change their spots.
This is a gap that Germany cannot bridge. The present pots of European money will now be deployed somewhat earlier than previously expected and it will be directed to support banks as well as sovereign debts. But that means they will be used up sooner, so the question in a few months' time will be how to top them up.
The two main pots, the European Financial Stability Facility and the soon-to-be founded European Stability Mechanism have some €500bn (£400bn) available to buy debt. But the sovereign debt of Spain and Italy totals some €2,400bn and past experience of publicly funded purchases of sovereign debt (indirectly with ECB loans) have been that putting public money in merely allows private savings to get out. The available funds could be used up very fast.
When that happens once again, the German taxpayer will be asked to take on more potential liabilities. Once again, we have to assume, the German government will reluctantly cave in. Indeed it will go on caving in until … until, well, it doesn't.
The timing of that will depend on politics as much as economics. My own guess is that the final crunch point is still some years away.
Germany, or rather the old West Germany, has been spending some 4 per cent of GDP supporting the former East Germany. This burden has been carried as an essential price for regaining part of the territories it had lost. So politically it is acceptable. But even this subsidy has not yet resulted in a self-sustaining East Germany, for there is still a drift of population from east to west.
It is hard to see a cross-European subsidy from north to south on anything like this scale, and it seems probable that southern Europeans of working age will continue to migrate north. In Britain, we are particularly aware of young French and Italian people migrating to London, while our own retirees have tended to migrate south, particularly to Spain.
So the economic imbalances within Europe are showing up in the movement of people as much as the movement of money. Money moves because people are worried they won't get their savings back. People move because there are better job opportunities. Now, it may be that Germany's economic growth will continue to be strong enough to give jobs to migrants from the south. But, of course, if young people move abroad for jobs this further undercuts the tax revenues of the home country, so the cross-border subsidy needs to be ever larger.
It is an odd situation. Taken as a whole, eurozone budget deficits are around 4 per cent of GDP, about half that of the US and UK. Total debt, relative to GDP, is about the same, maybe a bit lower. So the eurozone ought to be as attractive a place for global savings as the US and UK. But only bits of it are: in fact only Germany is, for even France is suspect.
The reason is the internal tensions evident in the graph. Those tensions cannot be fixed by even a successful summit number 19, nor I fear number 20, nor the many more to follow.
Your guide to untangling the five strands of bank reformation
Banking will be different for a generation. We have known that for some time but last week's events have speeded up the transformation. There are at least five strands to this and it might be helpful to sketch them here.
First, banks will become less international. That has already begun at retail level in Europe, as they have focused on home markets. For example, at the height of the boom roughly half of UK mortgages came from non-British banks; that flow has stopped. With the possible exception of Spain, banks have lost far more on foreign loans than on domestic ones.
Second, there will be some sort of split between commercial and investment banking, though it is not yet clear how this will be managed or how far it will go. In the UK, with the exception of Barclays, the high street banks have relatively small investment operations. On the continent there is a tradition of universal banking, where the functions are blurred. In the US, combined commercial and investment banking is relatively recent, mostly following the easing of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act in 1999.
The argument for a split is usually made on the grounds that savers' money (and the promise of government guarantees) should not be risked on "casino banking". That is a weak argument, for the main banking collapses have been the result of poor commercial lending, not investment banking. Look at Northern Rock, HBOS or even Royal Bank of Scotland. But there is a decent case to be made in that the skills and mind-set of investment bankers are quite different from supposedly risk-averse commercial bankers and merging the two has somehow corrupted the latter.
Third, banking will be smaller relative to the total size of the economy. Instead of banks doing so much intermediation between borrower and lender, more of the weight of capital-raising will be on securities markets.
Fourth, there will be a number of innovations aimed at boosting competition between banks.
Finally, regulation everywhere will be tightened – as it should be. But I think we all knew that.Reuse content

Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY
PURPOSE: The Brooklyn Asthma Project/Brownsville and East New York (BAP/BENY)was a one year study that began in September, 2008 to assess the impact of asthma education on asthma management and control in preschool children. Despite our experience in the daycare population and nine months of planning, unexpected problems and pitfalls significantly affected successful completion of the project.
METHODS: Children with asthma were identified via a Brief Respiratory Questionnaire (BRQ) in 20 Brooklyn daycare centers. Asthma education included monthly sessions by an asthma educator for daycare staff and parents of children with positive BRQs, and a software program for daycare staff. A parental survey was administered initially and after 6 months of interventions to assess asthma-health status in the children with positive BRQs.
RESULTS: There was improvement in parental comfort in managing children's asthma and trends toward more consistent use of asthma medications, but we failed to show impact of asthma education on key outcomes (symptom frequency, urgent care visits, hospitalizations). Grant support permitted only 1.25 FTEs (asthma educators) to oversee the project. We had to rely on center staff to administer and collect consents, BRQs and parental surveys. Despite incentives for both parents and daycare staff, pre-intervention parental surveys were completed in only 257/333 (77.2%) of children screening positive for asthma, and even fewer, 193/333 (58%) post-intervention. Centers were slow to collect data which impacted our ability to provide educational interventions according to schedule. Education events averaged 4.2 per center rather than 8 planned. Reduced daycare funding resulted in declining enrollment during the study. Additionally, there was frequent withdrawal of children participating in the study due to family relocation and other social issues.
CONCLUSION: We over-estimated our ability to achieve meaningful cooperation from daycare staff despite their initial enthusiasm and understanding of the importance of improving asthma care in this population.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Future studies to assess outcomes of asthma education in children attending daycare may benefit from our experience.

I'm writing an autobiography, but I don't think I can do it linearly. So instead I am using song titles as chapter (page) titles. I could really use some feedback. I've never tried to write an autobiography because it means going back to a really traumatic past. I'm now doing it for therapeutic reasons.
Could you post a link?
thanks. :)
thanks. :)
Yeah, that would probably be helpful, wouldn't it? Here you go: http://www.protagonize.com/story/bleed-like-me-an-autobiography
@OUAT_TWD_DW awesome sauce, I'll go check it out! :)

As we progressed slowly due to constant breaking we meandered out way through a number of villages where we were constantly advised not to continue. Nevertheless we continued after great persuasion with the guards by the Indian members of the group.
We hadn't made it to josimath due to the 14 hour drive and lack of light so rested at Pipalkoti for the night.
We had made friends with 5 ...
