Deep In The Mind of Protagonizers...
The room was dark. Shadows intruded on all sides, though they weren't exactly, by definition, shadows. They were of all colors of the rainbow, and then some. In the center of the space was a bed, a figure curled up comfortably in the covers. Then a voice pierced the strange silence.
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it...
"Paranoid freak..." Scratching her head, a girl in her teenage years silently cursed the echoing thoughts. Minds were not always the peaceful of places. "'Course... We are the same person..."
Don't think about it, don't think about it...
"Hey! 'Snot like anyone here's gonna read your mind! If they were in here, I'd know..." The not-quite-human looked wistfully at her bed. "I'm trying to get some sleep here..."
Far, far outside the mental boundaries of the place, a girl of similar appearance to the inner one, though most definitely human, frowned. Inner voices, she always thought, were quite annoying. I don't like getting up either. And I can't help it if I'm paranoid. The idea of someone knowing what I'm thinking--
"I know, I know. Totally tears apart your definition of privacy. Hey, Anna--" She snapped her fingers as if she was calling a servant, her face the supreme representation of spoiled. "--Shove something interesting down here, would you? I'm getting bored."
I can't. School. Gotta think.
"I thought you weren't thinking..." Inner-Anna shook her head, playing with her pointed, rather feline ears. "Then I've gotta go digging up an old one. Fair enough?"
Go wild. God, I can't believe I've been driven to talking to myself...
"I heard that!" The Inner-Anna trotted purposefully to a filing cabinet that had appeared out of nothingness. As she opened a drawer and flipped through the contents, (The folders were organized not alphabetically but rather by use: "When I'm Bored," "For the Next Test," etc.) she let out a sigh. "I've been down here way too long. I remember this all..." She immediately grabbed one file and pulled it out of its place. As it was removed, it disappeared, but a vibrant field with flowers appeared. A file labeled "Bedroom" appeared and hovered neatly over to the now-empty space. "No, no, too sappy..." Inner-Anna rifled through a few more files, and the landscape changed accordingly, before finally settling on a classroom.
Well, kind of a classroom. Like everything else in the space, it was colorful and, to an extent, rather cartoonish, much more interesting than the classroom outside the mental boundaries. "I guess..." Inner-Anna's thoughts were confirmed as an obnoxious bell rang from both her left and right. "...We have to think now, don't we?"
Yeah. Algebra. You shouldn't have taken so long.
"Dammit." Inner-Anna yawned. "Sorry, I had a bit of a case of Thinker's Block."
That's my line.
"True. Well, I'm going back to sleep..."
Uh-uh. Algebra. Now.
"Dammit," repeated the girl, walking back over to the filing cabinet. "Well, don't blame me if you die of boredom."
Oh, I will.
"And that's the way it'll always be, huh?"
Don't worry. I'll never start making sense on you.
"Same here, girl. Same here."

Kernel Development Weather Forecast
The Linux Foundation now offers a page with information on current and planned kernel development dubbed the "Linux Weather Forecast".
The page lists and explains current kernel features. It also gives users a sneak preview of features which will be making their way into the official kernel, or the kernels of major distributions, in the future, and it provides links to sites with more details. The page's "Head Meteorologist" is Jonathan Corbet, the editor in chief of commercial Linux news service provider, LWN.
Readers of Kerneltrap.org or LWN will probably be familiar with the content of the page, according to a comment by US online journal Ars Technica. The target audience is Linux users who already possess basic knowledge of underlying kernel technologies, but do not subscribe to mailing lists or other information services to keep up to date with kernel development.

To coincide with a glorious new exhibition at the National Gallery of London, this film offers a full and fresh biography of Michelangelo who, with Leonardo, is considered one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance – and perhaps of all time.

The public should not be alarmed by the additional deployment of troops on the streets and instead cooperate with authorities in checkpoints and stop-and-frisk situations, Malacañang said yesterday.
Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea admitted there would some "inconvenience" in the government's intensified security measures but assured that constitutional rights of citizens would be respected.
The Palace recently released a three-page memorandum order on the guidelines to military and police in implementing measures to suppress lawless violence under a state of national emergency. Included in the guidelines were lawful warrantless arrests and searches in certain circumstances.
"Huwag naman sila ma-alarma kung sakaling medyo may mga deployment ho doon ang mga sundalo o pulis. Ito ho ay for the protection lang ho ng ating community. They cannot do anything. Wala ho silang maaano, except mag-inspect, magtitingin-tingin ng surroundings," Medialdea said in a radio interview.
"Kaunting paunawa lang. May kaunting inconvenience dito pero para sa atin din po ito," he said. (Genalyn D. Kabiling)

The Best Whiskeys in the World
There are so many whiskeys in the world and tastes can vary from region to region since whiskey are made in more 15 different countries, each with their own special style.
Given this variety, it is better to evaluate whiskeys based on how they are made, which in this particular article, will focus on the single malt whiskeys from Scotland.
Single malt whiskeys simply mean that the whiskey is made from a single distillery, not the same malt or cask, unless it is also designated as single cask. In the absence of such designation, the single malt whiskey can be the result of a blend from different casks and years, combined to suit the desired taste of the blender.
The following are some of the best examples of single malt whiskeys from Scotland. They are listed in alphabetical order and these are but 12 of over 50 excellent single malt whiskeys.
Aberfeldy 21 from the Highland Region
The Balvenie from the Speyside Region
Bunnahabhain 25 from the Islay Region
Dalwhinnie from the Highland Region
Glenfarcias 25 from the Speyside Region
Glenfiddich 30 from the Speyside Region
Glenkinchie 1987 from the Lowland Region
Glenrothes Vintage 1975 from the Speyside Region
Highland Park from the Orkney Islands Region
Interleven Duncan Taylor 28 from the Lowland Region
Old Pulteney 17 from the Highland Region
Talisker from The Isle Of Skye Region
As mentioned earlier, there are other whiskey producing regions in the world, with some of them producing excellent whiskeys. However, for many people, a single malt whiskey is one of the best treats in life and for them, any of the whiskeys on this page is an excellent choice.
So here's a toast to Scotch Whiskey!

Introducing Chip Thomas: Activist, Photographer, Muralist and SRA Artist-in-Residence
Introduction by David Arv Bragi, SRA writer. Chip Thomas, aka "jetsonorama," is the Society for Ritual Arts' Artist-in-Residence for 2016....
We publish a semi-annual, peer-reviewed journal, Coreopsis: Journal of Myth & Theater, as well as host events related to ritual arts.

February 18 in San Francisco, CA
The Jedi tradition is one of the most loved and richest in all science fiction. But where did it come from? What real-life traditions has it borrowed from? And how has it influenced and inspired real-life rituals and beliefs? Who better to answer these all-important questions than professional Jedi Knight Alain Bloch.
Introduction by David Arv Bragi, SRA writer. Chip Thomas, aka "jetsonorama," is the Society for Ritual Arts' Artist-in-Residence for 2016....
If the venue is a Christian church, the performers include a Yoruba Iyanifa and a Hungarian shaman, the promoter is an atheist, the theme is Faerie, and the founder of the interfaith hosting organization happens to be Wiccan, does that make it a Pagan event? Not by any stretch of the imagination, argues SRA president Lezlie Kinyon, Ph.D.

" The location is decent, about 25 minutes from Termini Station with the walk to the metro, the wait, the ride, etc. and 30 minutes from the Roman coliseum and forum, located in the city center. Nearby, there is an ok gym as well as some nice local shopping and places to eat. The staff is pretty friendly although I wasn't able to get many good suggestions beyond the obvious (coliseum, piazza de Spagna, etc. What I liked the most about this place is that it's relatively cheap for excellent quality.

Walking the forest, riding the countryside, Bliss!
... made it to the Peter und Paul's, I was amazed at the lovely cabins made for the animals - SO beautifully made - they really look after their animals here! I guess if they don't, they won't be there by the end of winter! I saw a few animals I've not seen before - Alpensteinbock have interesting horns - really thick and chunky, and other varieties of deer. They give the animals lots of space, so they are not stressed at all - it's a reserve that's been put aside for ...
I feel like I've stepped into a fairy tale bubble!

Sunshine & swiss beauty
This morning Monika and I set out for Appenzell, Switzerland. We made our way along (very) windy roads to the base of the mountain named Saentis. A gondola went to the top, but we were content with enjoying time by the cafe at the old wooden cafe-hotel after hiking through a lovely pine woods. Dogs were everywhere on the patio and the sunshine was strong and warm. At 1,352 meters ...

So after this being settled you're insisting on bringing it right back up again aren't you...
You aren't funny. You are bitter about a forum you were banned from and poke at it any chance you can get. I have explained that they probably needed to be made aware, they have since been, and they have taken action.
Let me guess, cardsdownunder or OJ sent you the PM. If not them, then obviously someone else extremely bitter that they were banned. And you really need to learn what things mean if you're going to try to use them... tantrum? 'coming for you'? Yeah... someone is a bit too self-important isn't he...
You unfairly criticize something I'm a member of, I will defend it. It would be the same if you were talking about OCT, or the company I work for, or my sports team etc etc. Except you haven't been banned from any of those (as far as I'm aware...) so you have no reason to cause trouble, even if you are "joking".
Once again, this has been settled. HK did what they could when they were made aware. There is no need to go any further with this.

- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Advisers have reported a number of strategies to deter people from cashing in their plans ranging from hefty fees, exit penalties, and minimum fund values to a requirement to seek independent financial advice first.
Restrictions will vary between providers and schemes, but here is an outline of what some of the major players are doing:
Legal & General: Maximum of two withdrawals a year, minimum withdrawal £5,000, and you must leave at least £5,000 invested. Corporate pension – minimum withdrawal of £2,000, one withdrawal is free in any 12-month period with subsequent withdrawals charged at £20.
NEST: No partial withdrawals available.
Phoenix Life: Full withdrawals are available at no additional charge but there are restrictions around partial withdrawals. Customers can take a partial withdrawal if they use the remaining fund to buy an annuity or take financial advice from Just Retirement at an additional cost.
Scottish Widows: £5,000 minimum for partial withdrawals.
Virgin Money: No partial withdrawals available.
Zurich: Full withdrawals are available at no additional charge but there are restrictions on partial withdrawals for customers who are not on the advised Zurich Intermediary Platform. For these customers, the minimum withdrawal
is £1,000 and they must leave at least £5,000 in their pension.
These restrictions might be frustrating but pension companies are within their rights. The new rules give providers permission to offer access to your cash, they don't oblige them to and as a result older schemes, as well as providers that are no longer active in the market, are ignoring the flexibility.
There are also situations where pension companies are forced to insist you take advice. Malcolm McLean, senior consultant at Barnett Waddingham, explains: "Taking independent financial advice is a statutory requirement when there are guarantees attached to your pension. This is the case where you have a pension worth at least £30,000 and it either has a guaranteed annuity or is in a final salary scheme.."
Other than this statutory requirement, Tom McPhail, head of retirement policy at Hargreaves Lansdown says you are still within your rights to get your hands on your cash. " It's legitimate for the pension company to say no but, if this happens, you could consider transferring to a scheme that allows access."
If you are in an older scheme, you may be able to solve your problems by transferring to a more modern one with the same provider. Fiona Tait, pensions specialist at Royal London, explains: "If you transfer internally it's likely to be quicker but you may also avoid any additional charges and exit penalties.
Whether you stick with your current provider or move your pension to a new home, allow a month for the transfer to complete.
As well as finding an accessible home for your pension, it's important to think about the charges you might run into. McLean explains: "Some companies charge as much as £150 for a withdrawal, while with others it won't cost you a penny. It could be worth transferring if your provider is going to levy these charges."
Often these fees will depend on how you want to take the money – for example whether you take money out in stages or one go.
Once you've found a suitable home for your pension, or your provider wasn't imposing any draconian penalties in the first place, actually getting the cash out should be straightforward.
First contact your provider and tell them you want your cash. But, even if you're with a flexible provider you should still expect to get the third degree. Tait explains: "There are risks associated with taking cash out of your pension, so we run through these with our customers to make sure they understand the potential consequences."
For the benefit of all their customers, they will also need to check that you are the genuine owner of the pension to prevent against fraud.
Once you've gone through this, it's a simple matter of completing the necessary paperwork and waiting for your cash.
Although there were some serious delays immediately after the reforms, many providers are now coping with demand. Royal London has a service standard of five days and LV= says most customers can expect to see their money within six to 10 days.
Before you cash in your plan bear in mind that only the first 25% is paid tax-free. The remainder is taxed at your highest rate and depending on your income over the year may result in you be being bumped into a higher tax bracket.
Also as your pension company won't have any details of your other income, emergency tax will be applied. This effectively wipes out your personal allowance, treating your cash withdrawal as a monthly payment for tax purposes. "Most people will end up paying more tax than they need to if they withdraw a lump sum," says Tait. "Although this overpayment should work itself out through your tax code, this can take two to three years and there's no guarantee you'll get all your money back."
To speed up the process, she recommends contacting your tax office and completing the paperwork to get your overpayment refunded. HMRC has a number of forms – P50Z, P53Z and P55 – depending on your circumstances.
Unsure whether to take your cash? Find out about the government's Pension Wise service.
Used by an employer or pension provider to calculate the amount of tax to deduct from pay or pension. A tax code is usually made up of several numbers followed by a letter. If you replace the letter in your tax code with '9' you will get the total amount of income you can earn in a year before paying tax, for example 747L would mean a person could earn up to £7,479 before paying tax. The wrong tax code could mean a person ends up paying too much or too little tax.
In exchange for any lump sum – usually your pension fund – an annuity is "bought" from an insurance company and provides an income for life. When you die, the income stops. Annuity rates fluctuate daily and depend on your sex (although from 21 December 2012 insurers will no longer be able to use gender as a factor when calculating annuities), age, health and a number of other factors, so you have to pick the right one and, once bought, its terms cannot be altered, so seek financial advice.
This article is a brief summary on taking occasional lump sums - but it should be easier to set up a regular drawdown.e.g. I draw 1/12 x annual tax allowance from Scottish Widows each month at present and pay £300 pa fixed for life for my annual review (0.15% of fund). I had already taken the tax free lump sum in relation to this part of my fund but I have another part of my fund kept separate until I want more tax free cash lump sum. This gives plenty of flexibility.
It would be a lot of admin. if people expect to just draw a few hundred pounds at a time on an ad hoc basis and would also make their tax affairs more complicated.

text: In our family, we have a 5-year-old girl and a 4-month old boy. My husband and I talked about adopting after having 2 kids and lately my heart is drawn to helping teenagers. I've been on the placement and social work side of things, and it pains me to see kids who age out without any support. Is there anyone here with experience or ideas about adopting a teenager? How about international adoption? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

AUUGHH! So good x.x:D*showers you with Chocolate-covered bishies*WOO! OKay, I really like your story and will continue to stalk it until its finished. Umm, maybe I should write somthing helpfull here... Elly was the 999 Maing, and Yui's grandfather is Gasper:D And Id is the contact not Fei, however the hell that works XD OKAY! I helped WOO GO ME! Baa, Anyway, I really like your story! Keep it up! You have one loyal fan waiting on the edge of her seat for the next chapter!
| XZanayu chapter 3 . 7/14/2002
I really hope this will be a Bart and Fei yaoi story! Please continue!
| Tasumi Ashiru chapter 2 . 6/13/2002
OOOOOooooo so you gonna continue.. huh huh? I like the pairing, almost as much as sigurd x citan! I think the thought of feix citan is so cute! *blink blink* besides you are doing a really good job and your characterizations are really good I mean it! .. Also I liked the fei and elly joke at ch2's intro.. HAHHAHAH!
| Angel chapter 2 . 6/13/2002
Is this going to be a Fei and Bart fic? I hope so. Please continue!
| XZanayu chapter 2 . 6/12/2002
I hope this is a Bart and Fei pairing. I love those. Please continue!
| Angel chapter 2 . 6/5/2002
Cool first two chapters! I'm pulling for a Bart and Fei couple personally. They would look so much better than Bart and Citan, don't you think? Please continue!
| Delvinress chapter 2 . 6/4/2002
I support your pairing. This one is neck in neck with citanXsigurd, in my opinion. I never could understand Citan with Yui. Where'd she go on disc 2? Citan didn't say anything when Midori was alone with that kid from Lahan. If I were her father I'd be busting an artery knowing that my lil girl was alone in that very far-off room with a hothead and my wife no where to be found! But that's just me. Nuf ramblin' Keep writing!
| PipeNoMiko chapter 1 . 5/29/2002
D OMG! THIS STORY IS SO GOOD! Citan is my favorite Xenogears chara right under Billy _ and I can't find many yaoi pairings with him, and espacialy ones that are writen well! This story is really good, keepp at it! I must continue to check it periodicly(every two minutes) for an update *.* o_O XD Just don't listen to any of my sujestions for plot twists, I tend to be a bit of a perv _ BUT KEEP AT IT AND I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!

this pairing seems very interesting...
please keep up the good work...:p
| Beautiful Lady chapter 2 . 5/23/2002
Hey hey. Trissa here but I guess I'm signed in...don't remember doing that. Anyway! I'm excited that you followed up so quickly. About this pairing, I really have no problem with FeiXCitan at all, I think it's quite fitting, actually. I read a steamy doujinshi with them once and blushed for a week! One thing I do miss is that, the first chapter hinted at something larger (especially with the awesome diary entry, that was sweet!), some major repercussion from things taking a different route...don't lose that please, I'll get all depressed! Keep the story coming, it makes me all happy!
| Me chapter 1 . 5/17/2002
Don't quit, okie?
| Beautiful Lady chapter 1 . 5/15/2002
I'm excited! Believe it or not, It never occured to me that things might turn out any other way. I played the game, beat it and everything seemed okay to me. But now you've got me thinking, did things have to be this way? Add to the fact that Xenogears and yaoi go together like a hand in a glove and you've given me a story to make me berry, berry happy for months! Don't write at a snails pace! Write very quickly so that I may read! The only criticism is that there are some spelling mistakes (embarrassed is misspelled in there somewhere). Other than that, you've got me tres intersted!
| LEONheart Kennedy chapter 1 . 5/15/2002
Is Bart gonna be in it? I like Bart. I want Bart. I always press people for Bart. :) Anyho, good begining.

Schirdewan was not born in Konigsberg, but in Stettin. I recently came across this fact when researching an encyclopaedia entry on Schirdewan. In GDR reference works he always stated that he was born into a working-class family in Konigsberg, but he was hiding the fact that his real family came from Stettin and had a higher social status. The standard biographical work on the GDR which has appeared since unification, Wer war wer in der DDR, repeated this mistake in its first edition (1994), but corrected it in its third edition of 1996 after the discovery of relevant files in the SED archive.
I WAS aware that there was controversy about the place of birth of Karl Schirdewan, writes Professor David Childs. However, as his friends in the PDS, who announced his death, kept to his claim that he was born in Konigsberg, I felt it was right to leave it at that.
A significant number of Germans changed details of their place of birth after the Second World War for political reasons and it is not always possible to get proper verification, especially in towns which were overrun by the Red Army. Many of the files in Konigsberg and Stettin were destroyed, causing great inconvenience for some and great opportunities for others. It will be interesting to see what appears in Schirdewan's autobiography which is due to appear shortly.

Behind the News (more commonly known as BtN) is a long-running news programme broadcast on Australia's ABC TV made in Adelaide and aimed at school-aged children (8–13 years of age). BtN is aimed at upper primary and lower secondary students with the goal of helping them understand current issues and events in their world.
Behind the News explores major news events using the language, music and popular culture of young people. The programme explains the concepts that underpin the issues and events, while also providing background information that puts current affairs into context. Behind the News also covers kids' issues often overlooked by mainstream news, and makes use of online resources including streaming video of BtN stories, study materials for teachers and additional information and activities for students. BtN explains news items in a fun, simplistic way that is easy to understand.
Many schools allow students watch BtN on a regular basis in the hope that it will give them an insight into politics, current affairs, sport and various other topics.
In 2004 Behind the News was temporarily axed due to Government budget cuts but returned to air in 2005.[1][2] While BtN was the first and original program of this nature, a similar program on Network Ten, ttn (the total news), debuted in the year BtN did not air. ttn itself was axed at the end of 2008.
In June 2014, BtN celebrated its 45th birthday (based on years of production, discounting 2004), producing a short spliced clip of several decades' worth of presenters and theme songs. [3][4] On 21 July 2014, BtN moved to digital channel ABC3 as part of the ABC's educational programming move.[citation needed]
On 2 May 2016, BTN relaunched with new graphics and a new look, also switching from using greenscreen to using the same set used on ABC3 News. The new graphics and new look were teased on 1 May 2016's BTN Newsbreak, a rebrand of ABC3 News.
BtN Newsbreak[edit]
BtN Newsbreak (Previously known as ABC3 News & News On 3) is a program broadcast on ABC3 since launch, and in its current form, May 2016. They are produced by and feature the same team as Behind the News.

The present application is a continuation application from a U.S. patent application assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/520,114 filed on Sep. 12, 2006; the entire contents are incorporated herein by reference.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/717,081, filed on Sep. 13, 2005.
This invention relates to a fluorescent lampholder, and more particularly to a lampholder for a fluorescent tube of the type comprising an elongate glass envelope having a pair of parallel contact pins at each end.
As is well known, conventional fluorescent fixtures comprise an elongate frame which may include an integral reflector. At each end of the frame there is provided a lampholder for receiving the contact pins at the ends of the fluorescent lamp; the lampholder functions to support the lamp and provide electrical power. The lampholder has a top portion with a pair of spaced apart lamp pin contacts to engage the contact pins of the fluorescent lamp and a base portion with a wire opening located on the side surface of the base portion. During installation, wires are inserted through the wire openings of the lampholders and the wires are electrically connected to the lamp pin contacts of the lampholders to provide electrical power to the lamp. One wired lampholder is mounted at one end of a fixture and another lampholder is mounted at the other end of the fixture. A portion of the wires connected to the lampholder assemblies is typically exposed on the exterior surface of the fixture. There is a need for a fluorescent lampholder that connects to wires without exposing the wires to the exterior surface of the fixture.
In accordance with the present invention, a fluorescent lampholder is provided having a body having an upper portion and a lower portion; the lower portion has a bottom surface with an opening formed therein for receiving a conductor, and the upper portion has an opening for receiving lamp pins of a fluorescent lamp. The lampholder also includes an electrically conductive lamp pin contact positioned within the lower portion so that it electrically connects the received conductor and the received lamp pin. According to one aspect of the invention, the lamp pin contact includes a pair of spaced apart contact members, each of the contact members having a surface with an edge and a notch formed in the edge. Upon placement of the lamp in the lampholder, the lamp pins make contact with the edges of the contact members as they engage with the notches. According to another aspect of the invention, each of the lamp pin contact members has a surface with a notch formed therein, and the lamp pins upon placement of the lamp in the lampholder are parallel to those surfaces.
According to a further aspect of the invention, the body of the lampholder includes a channel formed therein separating the upper portion and the lower portion; the channel is configured to slidably engage a plate of a mounting fixture so that the bottom surface faces an interior of the fixture and the upper portion is exterior to the fixture. The lampholder thus communicates with the interior of the fixture through the opening, thereby providing a path for the conductor from the bottom surface into the interior of the fixture and isolated from the exterior of the fixture.
The lampholder is capable of supporting various types and/or sizes of fluorescent lamps such as "tall", "medium" and "small" T-8 fluorescent lamps as well as other types and/or sizes of fluorescent lamps.
Other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description, the appended claims and the accompanying drawings, in which similar elements are given similar reference numerals.
The lamp receiving portion of the base has an entry slot 224 extending from the top exterior of the base to the interior of the base and a circular central opening 226 in the front face. The cover 206 has an interior circular shaped wall 234 aligned with the central opening 226, and a top slot 236 and a bottom slot 238 aligned with the entry slot 224. The cap 204 is formed from a circular shaped disc 240 sized to fit and align with the central opening 226. A slot 242 extends through the disc for receiving the pins of a fluorescent lamp. The cap 204 has a centrally located pin 244 on the interior surface of the disc; pin 244 is sized to rotatably fit within the circular shaped wall 234. Ribs 250 located around the pin are used to deflect the lamp pin contacts 208 when the cap 204 is rotated during installation of a fluorescent lamp.
The lamp pin contacts 208 are mounted to the interior surface of the cover 206, with the wire contact end 216 oriented toward the base bottom portion 210 and the pin contact end 218 oriented toward the lamp receiving portion 214. The cover 206 covers the back of the base 202 and is held in place using tabs 246 which mate with corresponding notches 248 in the base. A pair of channels 230 for mounting the base 202 to a fixture are formed on each side of the base 202, between the top surface 213 of the bottom portion 210 and tabs 232. The lampholder may be mounted by sliding the lampholder into a cutout portion of a plate so that the edges of the cutout fit into channels 230; the edges are covered by tabs 232 (see
The base 202, cap 204 and cover 206 are fabricated from insulating materials such as thermosetting or thermoplastic materials, Bakelite or the like. The lamp pin contacts 208 are fabricated from electrically conducting material such as copper, brass, or the like, or a combination thereof.
To make electrical connection between the lampholder 200 and a power source, the bared end of a wire is inserted into one of the dual openings 212 in the bottom surface 211 of the bottom portion of the base, and then urged into the corresponding opening 222 of lamp pin contact 208 (see
Once the lampholder 200 has been wired, the wired lampholder is mounted to a fixture 50 such as a housing, at the ends of a reflector 55 or other similar mounting (see
Once the lampholders are mounted to the fixture, a fluorescent lamp 10 is attached to the lampholders as described below. The fluorescent lamp is turned so that its pins at one end are positioned one above the other; the lamp pins are made to enter a channel formed by slot 224 of the base and slot 242 of the cap (as shown in
The lamp pin contacts 408 each have a wire contact end 416 with a pair of tapered openings 422 to make electrical contact with the bared end of wires from a power source, and a pin contact end 418 with a notch 420 to engage one of the two conductive pins of a fluorescent lamp. The tapered openings 422 function as a one-way clutch that allows the bared end of an insulated wire to be inserted but prevents the removal of the wire while making electrical contact with the bare wire ends. Unlike the lampholder 200 described above, in which the lamp pins of a lamp make contact with the edge of the lamp pin contacts 208, contacts 408 make contact with the lamp pins at notches 420 located on the front surface of the contacts. A fluorescent lamp placed in lampholder 400 therefore has the lamp pins thereof parallel to the front surfaces of the contacts, with the pins resting in the notches 420.
The lamp receiving portion 414 has an entry slot 424 extending from the top exterior of the lamp receiving portion to the interior thereof and a circular central opening 426 in the front face. The cap 404 is formed from two spaced apart circular shaped discs 440, 441 with a centrally located pin portion 444 connecting the discs. The discs are sized so that cap 404 fits rotatably within the circular opening 426. The cap 404 has a slot 442 extending through the exterior surface of the exterior disc; the cap is rotated so that this slot and the slot is capable of being aligned with the slot 424 of the cover to receive the pins of a fluorescent lamp. Protrusions 450 extending from the side of the pin portion 444 are adapted to make contact with notches 420 on the lamp pin contacts 408, and deflect the lamp pin contacts 408 when the cap 404 is rotated during the installation of a fluorescent lamp (see
The wire contact end 416 of each lamp pin contact 408 is mounted onto the top portion of the base for receiving wires, and the pin contact end 418 extends into the interior of lamp receiving portion 414 for receiving the pins of a fluorescent lamp. Lamp receiving portion 414 is secured to base 402 and is held in place by tabs 446 on the base which mate with corresponding notches 448 in the lamp receiving portion (see
The lampholder 400 components are fabricated from materials similar to the lampholder 200 above. Lampholder 400 is likewise wired and mounted as described above with reference to lampholder 200.
While the invention has been described in terms of specific embodiments, it is evident in view of the foregoing description that numerous alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the invention is intended to encompass all such alternatives, modifications and variations which fall within the scope and spirit of the invention and the following claims.

text:
A follow up patent from last October for a solar touch screen panel, came with a power management system that can accept power from a solar panel. Other events pointed out by the analyst include a job opening Apple posted and filled for a Thin Films Engineer position with solar experience (emphasis ours). That was followed by the agreement signed with GT Advanced Technologies for sapphire cover screens. After that, Apple announced that it would spend $10.5 billion in capital expenditures in fiscal year 2014, some of which could be used to buy "cutting edge" lasers which would be employed in the "scribing" of microchannels on the solar cells. The Cupertino based tech titan also posted that the company is looking for a Manufacturing Design Engineer. The position includes "scribing" and PVD coating which is used with thin films like solar cells. And lastly, Foxconn is rumored to have produced 100 iPhone prototypes using sapphire glass.
Will this all add up to solar cells extending the life of the battery on the Apple iPhone 6? The focus on sapphire does seem to indicate that Apple will have some new innovations inside upcoming devices. As the second hardest material on earth after diamonds, sapphire can protect the intricate electronics needed for new features. And these new features and capabilities will also require more power, which can be harvested from solar cells embedded in a sapphire glass. It's the circle of battery life.
