Cost reduction in wireless sensor networks (WSN) becomes a priority when extending their application to fields where a great number of sensors is needed, such as habitat monitoring, precision agriculture or diffuse greenhouse emission measurement. In these cases, the use of smart sensors is expensive, consequently requiring the use of low-cost sensors. The solution to convert such generic low-cost sensors into intelligent ones leads to the implementation of a versatile system with enhanced processing and storage capabilities to attain a plug and play electronic interface able to adapt to all the sensors used. This paper focuses on this issue and presents a low-voltage plug & play reprogrammable interface capable of adapting to different sensor types and achieving an optimum reading performance for every sensor. The proposed interface, which includes both electronic and software elements so that it can be easily integrated in WSN nodes, is described and experimental test results to validate its performance are given.
The ever-increasing reduction of sensor size has favored their integration in embedded sensing applications. This fact, together with the recent advances in mobile communications, has made it possible to use low-cost low-power sensor networks which interact in widely diverse environments by means of wireless communication protocols [
Numerous applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) involve monitoring physical and chemical parameters over large regions, thus needing a large number of sensor nodes. In order to reduce the cost of these nodes, it is customary to use low-cost analogue sensors along with a programmable electronic interface capable of adapting every sensor output to the port requirements of the microcontroller (μC) embedded in the sensing node. Such a reprogrammable sensor interface widens the range of applications and thus eases the marketability of the interface circuit sensing solution. In the literature, implementations of such systems have been recently reported, e.g., designed for gas sensor arrays conditioning [
The goal of the present work was the design and experimental validation of a simple plug & play programmable sensor-to-μC interface able to self-configure its operation when adapting the output of different sensors, optimizing every sensor span. The proposed Smart Transducer Interface Module (STIM) includes both electronic and software elements. The hardware module consists of an electronic system that transforms the output of resistive sensors and sensors with voltage/current output to a quasi-digital signal compatible with the electrical levels of the digital input ports of the low-power μC in the sensor node, thus allowing easy reading [
The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the proposed smart transducer interface design. Section 3 explains the software design for the conditioning and communications processes, including the final frequency to code conversion performed in the master μC. Section 4 shows the system implementation and analyses power consumption in a wireless sensor node. Section 5 presents the application of the proposed system as an interface for some low-voltage sensors, in particular for a temperature dependent resistor (NTC), a humidity dependent resistor (RH sensor), a linear Hall sensor, a light dependent resistor (LDR) and a photodiode. Finally, conclusions are drawn in Section 6.
The proposed sensor interface can accommodate resistive sensors and sensors with voltage/current output. In addition, it is compatible with the needs and restrictions of the nodes of a wireless sensor network: low-voltage, to be powered with low form factor batteries; minimum power consumption, to optimize the node life; and low-cost, to minimize the total cost for WSN applications involving a high number of nodes spread out over large areas.
A simplified diagram of the interface circuit is shown in
The STIM μC is responsible for scheduling the three blocks of the proposed sensor interface: Sensor Platform, Amplification System and VFC System. In addition, the plug & play concept is used to self-configure this interface when it is connected to a sensor node microcontroller. Configuration data are stored in a small memory in the STIM μC similar to TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) sensors [
Resistive sensors RSENSE employ a resistive divider as basic conditioning electronics. As shown in
ISENSE current output sensors are usually conditioned employing a resistor in series which converts the current into voltage. Typically these sensors need to be fed and their basic conditioning scheme is similar to those of resistive dividers. Then, with ISENSE connected between P1 and P2, MUX1-MUX2 will be configured to form the series connection ISENSE-POT2 between VDD and gnd. In this way, VDD supplies the current sensor, and current variations are transformed, through an adequate value of POT2, to voltage to be further processed. Voltage output sensors VSENSE do not require a specific conditioning step, but usually need to be fed. So, VSENSE will be connected between P1 and P2 and these pins directly through the MUX1-MUX2 lines to VDD and gnd. Voltage differential sensors are directly connected between the unconnected MUX1-MUX2 lines, so that the voltage difference is amplified in the next stage with the use of differential instrumentation amplifiers. To properly perform the differential amplification, the positive terminal is connected to P1 and the negative to P2.
Since many commercial sensors are greatly dependent on temperature, a NTC sensor has been included within to check the internal temperature and apply thermal compensation, so that accurate readings of the physical quantities can be taken [
To implement this sensor platform, the selected POT1 and POT2 potentiometers are MAX-5414 from Maxim, with a nominal value of 50 kΩ and 256 taps or digitally controlled different positions for their mobile terminal [
The circuit basically contains an instrumentation amplifier IA and two programmable potentiometers POT3 and POT4. The sensor output voltage VSENSE can be driven from P1 or P2 to the non-inverting IA input VIN+ through the 4:1 multiplexer MUX3. An offset signal Voffset, generated through the R3-POT3 resistive divider, can be driven to the inverting input VIN− through MUX4.
The voltage at the output of the IA is proportional to the difference of the voltages at its inputs and the ratio of resistors R4 and POT4, as described by the following equation:
By properly connecting VSENSE to VIN+ and Voffset to VIN− the IA output voltage is given by
Therefore, the amplifier gain can be digitally controlled through the value of POT4, configured as a variable resistor.
According to
The value of R3 equals the nominal value of potentiometer POT3 to achieve with high resolution a range of appropriate offset values from, approximately, 0 to VDD/2. The appropriate resolution of the voltage values would not be possible to achieve considering only the potentiometer POT3 working as a resistive divider between VDD and gnd due to the coarse voltage discretization in the potentiometer output associated to the maximum number of programmable levels (256) available. Note that if the subtraction of an offset to the sensor signal is not necessary, MUX4 allows the grounding of the IA input VIN−; to make this possible the IA amplifier must also be rail-to rail at its input.
In the case of differential amplification, the positive sensor output VSENSE+ is driven from P1 to the non-inverting IA input VIN+ through MUX3, and the negative sensor output VSENSE− is driven from P2 to the inverting IA input VIN− through MUX4. The IA output voltage is then given by:
The instrumentation amplifier used in the amplification block is a rail-to-rail input and output INA327 from Texas Instruments [
The output of the previous amplifier block is a voltage signal VOUT whose value ranges from 0 to 3 V. The next conditioning block consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VFC) which performs the transformation to the frequency domain, according to the expression:
The control block is responsible for scheduling, activating and configuring all the interface electronics. It consists of a microcontroller and an 8-bit shift register. The selected STIM μC is an MC9RS08KA8 from Freescale [
The STIM μC has two different data storage elements: a volatile random access memory (RAM, 256 bytes, fast access) and a non-volatile Flash memory (8 Kbytes, non-volatile and slower than RAM). The STIM μC stores all the electronic datasheets of the connectable sensors in the non-volatile flash memory, thus avoiding being deleted if the microcontroller is turned off. At the STIM power-up time, the connected sensor is recognized and its datasheet, preceded by the NTC datasheet which is included to perform temperature calibration, are mapped into the RAM memory to allow a faster access at runtime and not slow down the process. This datasheet information is then used to properly configure the electronic interface of the NTC, followed by that of the sensor.
The 8-bit shift register, a Texas Instruments SN74HC594D [
Plug and play is a feature in which both the device to be connected as well as the host device must show some specific characteristics. To allow this functionality, the host system needs to be able to detect the connection at one of its ports of the P&P device in order to start the identification and configuration protocol; conversely, the connected device needs to include the required information and be able to send it to the host device when requested. Although this protocol can be fully software-implemented, this increases the requirements of the STIM μC, as well as its cost. Thus, a mixed hardware-software technique has been selected in this work.
In order to detect a new hardware connection, the VDD line that provides power to the STIM devices is monitored each time the sensor node is awakened, thus detecting any changes in the current flow. Current detection is performed by an LMP8645 precision Current Sense Amplifier (CSA) [
After designing the hardware interface the STIM μC must be programmed to manage the whole electronics of the interface and the communications protocol with the WSN node, optimizing the resources to obtain an efficient implementation: in WSN systems, where power is provided by small form-factor batteries, it is a priority to minimize the power consumption to extend the operational battery life. Thus, in these applications the electronic system is set into a low-power mode most of the time, waking up to perform the interface programming, measurements, frequency to digital conversions and the final radiofrequency data transmission, then returning to the sleep mode where the power consumption is minimal.
The use of two different memory positions for commands storage in the STIM μC (one for the embedded NTC instructions and the other for the connected sensor instructions) makes possible to send two different commands to be executed in parallel. Although this is not currently implemented, the STIM for example could configure the conditioning electronics according to the sensor TEDS and send the output signal to the master μC, while it updates some of the TEDS information of the embedded NTC sensor according to a new calibration, thus minimizing the runtime.
The frequency to digital value conversion is performed in the master μC using the classical Direct Counting Method (DCM) [
The number of pulses into the counting window is given by:
The bigger
Thus, the master μC in the sensor node receives the frequency coded value and translates it into a digital value according to the DCM. Before the data are sent by the sensor node to the WSN coordinator, the recovered value is converted to the measured value of the physical magnitude by properly applying the information stored in the corresponding TEDS, previously sent to the master μC in its first connection (
The designed circuit has been implemented using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components. Since it targets an application using battery-operated WSN nodes, it must have reduced power consumption and, accordingly, at the circuit level, the components used for its implementation must be compliant with the Low-Power Low-Voltage (LPLV) requirements. The selected components are summarized in
At the system level, to minimize the power consumption, the interface should be active only when the node requests a configuration and measurement process and remain off the rest of the time. Therefore an ADG701 switch from Analog Devices [
The interface is compatible with most of the common types of sensors used in WSN applications. For this work, the sensors have been selected so as to be LPLV compliant. Another important characteristic is the sensor cost: in these applications, where a large number of nodes will be spread over large areas, low-cost is a prerequisite.
The selected resistive sensors are an NSL-19M51 LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) from Silonex [
Each sensor has its own electronic datasheet where variables such as model parameters or operating ranges are stored. Once the sensor application is selected, the maximum VMAX and minimum VMIN sensor output is known. So, the gain and the offset can be calculated according to the following equations:
To show the performance of the proposed system, its operation when applied to conditioning the aforementioned NTC, a RH sensor, a LRD sensor, a linear Hall sensor and a photodiode is as follows.
NTC is a resistive sensor RSENSE whose resistance value depends on temperature TSENSE, reducing its value with any increase in temperature. Its dependence is exponential, according to the equation:
The NTC conditioning circuit is a resistive divider RSENSE−R1 between VDD and GND, so that resistance variations are converted to voltage variations:
The R1 value is calculated according to the conventional criteria of having a maximally linear response within the temperature operating range, as given by the following expression:
The H25K5A humidity sensor used in this work is a resistive element whose resistivity depends on both the relative humidity and the temperature according to a complex expression. Thus, the sensor operation is not usually given by an equation, but rather by a table in which the sensor output value is provided for different ambient humidity and temperature values. However, the table size is too big to be stored in the sensor node memory. Thus, the final network processing system (usually a computer) that receives all the WSN information from a coordinator node must keep it in a file describing this sensor behavior and, to properly process the output signal, the name of this file is stored in its corresponding electronic datasheet and sent to the master μC in the first STIM connection process. Then, the first time the node is connected to the network coordinator it sends the name of the file. By using the corresponding data file, the network processing unit is able to recover the measured RH value from the temperature and RSENSE values sent by the corresponding STIM.
The conditioning circuit for this sensor is a resistive divider RSENSE-NTC1 between VDD and gnd, while the temperature value is known thanks to the NTC embedded into the interface. So, once the value of the sensor resistance is calculated and the temperature value is known, the table gives the RH estimation.
The third sensor connected to the proposed interface to test its performance is a light dependent resistor NSL-19M51 from Silonex. Its resistance-to-light dependence is exponential, according to:
The application of the proposed interface to a voltage-based sensor has been tested using an A1391 linear Hall sensor from Allegro. This sensor has been designed to deliver a voltage proportional to the distance to a magnet in a range of some centimeters, providing 5–10 μm accuracy. The input-output characteristic is given by:
Coefficients A and B are obtained experimentally. In this case, A = 2.8187 V/m and B = 0.0417 V. Since this sensor is active, it must be connected to VDD and gnd to be properly biased. In addition, it presents and additional low-power mode selection pin that is connected to PDig (
Photodiodes are light sensors that have a faster response than LDRs to incident light variations making them suitable for use in systems where fast response times are required. Their output current depends on the incident light according to:
Coefficients A and B were obtained experimentally: A = 130 lux/mA and B = 2.8419 lux. In this case, the sensor is connected in series with potentiometer POT2 between VDD and gnd. POT2 is configured to a resistive value of 39 kΩ.
This paper presents a programmable conditioning interface for low-cost sensors in WSN applications. The proposed STIM can be connected to a sensor node by means of a standard I2C protocol and stores a reduced Transducer Electronic Data Sheet of the connected sensor to properly self-configure the conditioning electronics, thereby improving the output span, increasing the sensor sensitivity and reducing the temperature drift in the sensor response. For easy integration in the sensor node, this STIM uses a plug & play technique, which allows connection with no previous operation.
The interface can be used with a wide variety of sensors, and has been validated for a set of sensors including resistive sensors and sensors with voltage and current output. It provides a value of the measured parameter coded as the frequency of a signal compatible with the logic levels of the master μC that manages the sensor node resources, offering high immunity to noise and signal interferences.
The frequency-to-digital value conversion can be easily performed in the master μC by means of the simple direct counting method, allowing more than 12-bit accuracy for conversion times below to 16 ms.
By properly managing the interface electronics, the average power consumption in a measurement process of the conditioning electronics is compatible with the power requirements of portable sensing applications. Compared to previously proposed general purpose hardware interfaces based on the IEEE 1451.4 standard for intelligent sensors [

Courchevel, France • Marlies Schild of Austria joked that her younger sister wouldn't have received any Christmas presents if she had prevented her from tying the record for World Cup slalom wins on Tuesday.
Marlies overcame Bernadette Schild's leading time from the first run to win her 34th slalom and match the record of Switzerland's Vreni Schneider from 1986-95.
The 2011 slalom world champion was third after the first run in the morning. But she posted a second run of 53.26 seconds to clinch victory ahead of Frida Hansdotter of Sweden. Bernadette Schild was third overall, and Kathrin Zettel of Austria was fourth. Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States finished 12th.
After Hansdotter could not match her time, it was down to Bernadette nine years younger at 23 and seeking her first win to beat her sibling.
Bernadette finished more than one second behind. She earned a big hug from Marlies at the finish line for securing her second career podium result. There would have been consequences, otherwise.
"She wouldn't have got any Christmas presents," Marlies Schild said after winning her third straight race at Courchevel, but her first since winning a slalom race at Soldeu-Grandvalira in Andorra in February 2012.
"It's a very big (weight) falling off my body and my heart. It's nearly two years ago since my last victory. Everyone was asking and asking what the problem was. I wasn't feeling very good for a long time now."
Shiffrin, the defending World Cup slalom champion, was seventh after the first run. She won the season's opening slalom last month at Levi, Finland, but it's been a rough few days for the 18-year-old skier.
It marked her lowest slalom finish since 15th in Schladming, Austria, in March 2012. On Sunday, she failed to finish the giant slalom in St. Moritz.
"I can't win everything. I don't think it's good to win everything (because) then I just become complacent," Shiffrin said. "So I need to know that Marlies is back. That's the coolest thing for me because it's nice to know I'm not the Snow Queen."
Matching Schneider's record was an extra bonus for Schild.
"Lindsey (Vonn) was always saying 'If you make records, it's the only thing you remember.' I don't think that's the main thing," Marlies said. "It's just that (it means) you are a good skier when you break records. I'm glad that it's over now."
Last season, she stopped racing in March to recover from another knee injury, but the desire to keep going fueled her recovery.
"I lost some years because of injuries and always had the feeling that I could do more, and that's the reason I'm still here," she said. "I had back problems and knee surgery. I didn't know if I could do it again. I was thinking a lot, I was thinking too much. But now I've got my self-confidence back."
Shiffrin expects fierce competition from Marlies over the next few months.
"For her it wasn't even that impressive. That's saying something. She's an amazing skier and I kept saying that I thought she was the best slalom skier," Shiffrin said. "I don't think I own that title, I think she owns it."
Tessa Worley, the giant slalom world champion, injured her knee in a crash and will miss the Sochi Olympics.
She slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. The International Ski Federation said she had torn her right anterior cruciate ligament and has been "ruled out for the entire season."
Bernadette was 0.20 faster than her elder sister after the first run.
Marlies, who took slalom bronze at the 2006 Olympics, flew down the Stade Emile Allais course on her second run 0.80 seconds faster than Zettel on the first split, 0.80 quicker on the second, and 1.43 quicker as she crossed the line.
Bernadette said the unfamiliar position of leading the race made her nervous.
"It wasn't too easy to me. I had to breathe deeply to get my heart rate down," Bernadette said. "It's different to stand up there when you're the last one down."

Rebounding from her fifth-place finish in the Mazarine Stakes earlier this month, Rose and Shine swept to the lead approaching mid-stretch and held on well to win the $252,100 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Woodbine Oct. 29.
Five D Thoroughbreds and Wind River Stables' homebred filly Kathmanblu, a stakes winner on grass and dirt, will attempt to transfer that form to Keeneland's Polytrack surface April 9 in the Central Bank Ashland (gr. I).
Unbeaten Inglorious showed she's for real after sweeping past her rivals for a 5 3/4-length romp as the 6-5 favorite in the $151,101 Ontario Lassie Stakes on a 27-degree afternoon at Woodbine Dec. 4.
Grand Style, a maiden 2-year-old filly by Giant's Causeway, found a great spot to produce her first victory when she came from off the pace to win the $247,035 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Woodbine Oct. 30.
Unbeaten Delightful Mary, a $500,000 2-year-old in training purchase in Florida that won the first two starts of her career impressively, heads the field for the $225,000 Mazarine Stakes (Can-III) Oct. 9 at Woodbine.
Making her North American debut, the maiden Roan Inish swept past pacesetting Resentless in deep stretch to win the $232,235 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Woodbine Oct. 31.
Sam-Son Farm's homebred Catch the Thrill swept past Quiet Action in early stretch, then went on to post an impressive tally in the featured (Canadian) $250,800 Princess Elizabeth Stakes for Canadian-foaled 2-year-old fillies Saturday at Woodbine.
A good trip for Dream About in Sunday's $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Can-II) at Woodbine could mean a trip of a lifetime to California for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I) Oct. 25 at Santa Anita Park.
The wide open 2-year-old filly picture in Canada should come into clearer focus on Sunday when eight compete in the season's most important race in the division, the $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Woodbine.

'One-pot meth cooks' targeted in Niagara County drug crackdown
A series of recent arrests in Niagara County has pointed to an increasing problem with methamphetamine production, which in most cases are small "one-pot meth cooks," according to law enforcement officials.
These cases, also known as "shake-and-bakes," involve the combining of chemicals in a sealed container – usually a soft drink bottle – for personal use and/or sale, authorities said.
Sheriff James R. Voutour said Wednesday that investigations show an increase in the manufacture and use of methamphetamine in Niagara County. He highlighted several arrests throughout the county after a recent rash of investigations tied to the drug this past week.
"It is becoming more prevalent unfortunately," Voutour said. Niagara County has had more than its share of such cases, compared with other counties, according to the sheriff.
Voutour said crackdowns on prescription pills may be part of the reason.
"My guess is the hard work we put into pills is paying off, but this is the result of it," Voutour said.
"It's harder to get pills these days. We've done the awareness, the pill drops, the pharmacy database to see if people are shopping around.
"I think it's much more difficult to get pills, and (drug traffickers) are turning to something else."
Voutour said officer awareness was also leading to arrests.
"Around a year and a half ago, when this came on the radar, I had the DEA come in and train all our guys on recognition – the products, the smell, the ingredients," Voutour said.
"And that's paid off because in almost all of the cases it was because an alert deputy smelled remnants of a one pot meth cook and were able to secure scenes and get search warrants."
The sheriff said investigators will continue to confront this growing problem and are asking the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local law enforcement.
Voutour said meth labs often emit strange smells, particularly from camping fuel or Coleman fuel used to provide the high heat needed to make meth. Another sign of a meth lab is unusual garbage such as multiple containers of cold medicines, paint thinner and "other poisons," as well as high traffic at a residence.
In its most serious case, the Niagara County Drug Task Force charged William K. Ray, 26, of Lockport, on Tuesday with felony second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, both felonies. The investigation started in December after investigators found a bag containing multiple ounces of methamphetamine oil, materials, and equipment used to make methamphetamine in the Town of Hartland. Ray is being held without bail in Niagara County Jail.
Last week, the Niagara County Drug Task Force was investigating the sale of methamphetamine on Orleans Avenue in Niagara Falls and recovered a small amount of the drug and materials used to manufacture it. The case led to the arrest of Jason T. Clark, 39, of Lockport, who was wanted in two assault cases in Lockport. As officers closed in on him, police said, he ran from the scene. Brittany T. Blenker, 23, of Niagara Falls, tried to get between a detective and Clark, grabbed the detective's gun, causing it to discharge and hit another woman, causing minor wounds, police said. She was charged with first-degree assault, and more charges are pending.
Last Friday, members of the task force were serving a parole warrant on Gabriel Drive in the City of Lockport when they encountered a strong chemical odor inside the home. A search uncovered a small quantity of methamphetamine, several depleted "one-pot meth cooks" and materials used to manufacture the drug. Naomi M. Mathews, 29, was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and Pedro J. Vlaquez, 29, was charged on the warrant, according to authorities.
Also last Friday, sheriff's deputies serving a warrant on Walnut Street in the City of Lockport encountered a strong chemical odor, which prompted them to obtain a search warrant. The search uncovered a small amount of methamphetamine, a depleted "one-pot meth cook" and materials used to manufacture the drug. Hypodermic needles and suspected heroin were also found at the scene, police said.
Matthew D. Bennett, 23, of the Walnut Street address, was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. This investigation is continuing.

2000-2001: Magnificat's Ninth Season
Magnificat's ninth Season began earlier than usual with a week of recordings at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Belvedere in August. All the works by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani that Magnificat had performed on the San Francisco Early Music Society series the previous December were recorded plus two new psalms and a motet, Maria Magdalene stabat. The sessions ended with a performance for a small invited audience. The sessions were such a success that the decision was made for Musica Omnia to release not merely a Vespers CD but to undertake a project to record Cozzolani's complete works and another week of recordings were planned for January.
The season officially opened in September with a program devoted to settings of texts from the Song of Songs, a rich source for composers throughout the 17th century. While Magnificat's program most often are focused on a single composer, style, or historical event, this program, entitled "Sonnet vox tua in auribus meis," featured settings in a variety of genres and from several composers. After an opening motet from Palestrina's fourth book of motets for 5 voices, the program was divided into four "chapters," each beginning with one of the four "seasons" of Charpentier's soprano duet Quatour anni tempestes.
The "Spring" set included Monteverdi's Nigra sum from the 1610 Vespers and a five voice motet by Orfeo Vecchi. "Summer" featured Grandi's alto motet Quam pulchra es and another motet from Palestrina, Descendi in hortum nucum. Monteverdi's motet O quam pulchra opened the second half of the program followed by "Autumn" and a setting of Vulnerasti cor meum by Alba Tressina and Schütz's Ego dormio. "Winter" included Carissimi's Anima-Corpo dialogue Tolle sponsa and a remarkable dialogue by Domenico Mazzochi. The program cover featured the altar artwork from St. Gregory Nyssen Episcopal church in San Francisco.
The December concerts explored an almost completely forgotten repertoire. Beginning in the 1670s the Vatican began commissioning a new musical work each year to be performed between vespers and the Christmas Eve feast. The tradition continued well into the 18th century, with many eminent composers receiving the commissions including both Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti, Porpora, Gasparini, and Caldara. Only two of the twenty four cantatas written before 1700 have survived and the music for both was written by Giuseppe Pacieri. Born in Trevi near Perugia, Pacieri took holy orders before succeeding Francesco Cardarelli as organist of the Santa Casa in Loreto in 1670, where he remained until 1679. He entered the service of Cardinal Cibo in Rome by 1682, and it is most likely this connection that brought him six Cristmas Eve commissions. Il Trionfo dell' Amor Divino was written for Christmas Eve in 1687 and was performed again in 1692 at St. Ursula in Vienna and it is thanks to this second performance that the work survives, since the only extant score is to be found in Vienna. The elegantly bound manuscript produced as a presentation copy to accompany the performance was used as the basis for Magnificat's performing edition in what was certainly a modern premiere.
Il Triojnfo dell' Amor Divino is an allegorical discussion of the significance of Christ's birth, with singers representing Divine Love, Faith, Humanity, Idolatry, and Hell. Divine Love reassures Humanity that with the aid of her trusted friend Faith, she will withstand the tyranny of the infidel and eternal damnation. Stylistically, Pacieri's cantata falls somewhere between the Roman style of Marazzoli and the Neapolitan operatic style of Scarlatti.
The second week of Cozzolani recordings took place in January of 2001, coordinated with the repertoire for concerts in February. The remaining psalms and the second Magnificat from the composer's 1650 collection Salmi a Otto voci concertati were included in a program built around Vespers for the Feast of Purification.
The program for the February concerts featured artwork by Ronald Chase that would be used for the first two Cozzolani releases. After trying out several ideas with Ronald in his studio, I noticed several framed flowers on on his wall. At first I assumed that they were paintings and was surprised to find out that they were in fact photographs that had been manipulated with a thoroughly "historical" device – a "xerox" machine! The works are described in this article and a gallery of Ronald's flowers can be viewed here.
The season ended with two divertissements by Marc-Antoine Charpentier: Actéon and Les Arts florissants, written during the 1680s, while Charpentier was employed in the household of Marie de Lorraine, called Mademoiselle de Guise. Both works fit into the loosely-defined genre of the divertissement, a term used in 17th Century France to refer to a wide range of musical works, from interludes in comedie-ballets and tragedie-lyriques, as well as entertainments that resembled the English masque. Some divertissements, like Actéon, were short independent operas on mythological subjects. Others, like Les Arts Florissants relate more specifically to the pastorale, originally a literary genre that, over the course of the 17th century began to incorporate music and ballet in the manner of opera.
The brochure for the season featured the image for the Star from a 17th Century Tarot deck. This deck also provided the "cats" found on many Magnificat brochures and programs.
Over the course of the season, Artistic Director Warren Stewart led ensembles that included Elizabeth Anker, Peter Becker, Meg Bragle, Louise Carslake, Elijah Kenn Chester, Karen Clark, Rob Diggins, John Dornenburg, Jennifer Ellis, Ruth Escher, Ken Fitch, Andrea Fullington, Julie Jeffrey, Jennifer Lane, Karen Marie Marmor, Mathias Maute, Marc Molomot, Judith Nelson, Deborah Rentz-Moore, Jörg-Michael Schwartz, Katherine Shao, Mary Springfels, David Tayler, Hanneke van Proosdij, Jolianne von Einem, Suzanne Elder Wallace, Catherine Webster, Scott Whitaker, and David Wilson.

By Sgt. Karl Williams
1st Cavalry Divison public affairs
On the fourth floor, just above the windows that offer a panoramic view of its recovery and rehabilitation facilities, hangs the latest photographic testaments of one group of warriors. They have returned from battle with missing limbs, but were strong enough to overcome their challenges and take back their lives while inspiring others.
The 1st Cavalry Division's rear detachment deputy commander, rear detachment sergeant major and Family Readiness Group leaders encouraged their wounded warriors to continue their mission of recovery and rehabilitation Aug. 27 during visit to Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and the Center for the Intrepid, at the Army's state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation center in San Antonio.
Before touring the center, the command team met with three soldiers assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division: Spc. Christopher Johnson, an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Heavy Combat Team; Spc. Johnny Nguyen, an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team; and Cpl. Tyrell Manakaja, an indirect-fire infantryman with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and their family members.
Sgt. Maj. Michael Aycock, rear detachment sergeant major, 1st Cavalry Division, is continually impressed by the facilities, but even more impressed with the soldiers' courage and strength.
"It's unbelievable how well our soldiers are being cared for here, from the enhancements to the facilities, to the level of care," said Aycock, from Clinton, N.C. "We know our soldiers are receiving the best possible care."
The First Team soldiers are dealing with tough recoveries, but their morale is high after what they have been through, Aycock added. It's essential to stay in tuned to these heroes who have sacrificed so much, and to do whatever is necessary to assist them in their recoveries.
The First Team soldiers at the facility agree with Aycock.
"The facilities here are awesome and hospital staff does a great job taking care of us," said Manakaja, from Peach Springs, Ariz.
"I am happy that the chain-of-command and the FRG leaders take the time to come down and visit us here. It shows that they really care about us, and that we're not forgotten," said Manakaja, who suffered a broken arm and was struck by shrapnel in the face, legs and arms June 25, when the Humvee he was traveling in ran over an improvised explosive devices, less than a mile outside his base.
"Intrepid means brave and fearless," said Rebecca Rooper, an administrator with BAMC and tour guide for the First Team group.
The four-story, 60,000-square-foot Center for the Intrepid includes clinical space, a Military Performance Lab with a Gait Lab and Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment, a pool, an indoor running track, a two-story climbing wall and a Prosthetic Center.
The facility provides service members with severe extremity injuries and amputations the opportunity to maximize their ability to live and work productively.
Rooper said the center is designed to help soldiers with severe injuries, burns and amputations take advantage of their ability to work and live productive lives.
In the Gait Lab for instance, infrared cameras track the position of reflective markers on patients' bodies and joint angles are calculated and analyzed. Patients can be tested climbing stairs from 0 to 33 degrees.
The CAREN is a 21-foot dome with a 300-degree screen that displays a variety of virtual realities. Patients stand on a moving platform that can sway like boat on a choppy ocean or incline when taking a simulated hike through the woods.
Patients can take advantage of the natatorium, a six lane pool for pre-running activities, kayaking, water basketball, volleyball and general swimming. The pool also creates powerful waves that simulate surfing, which can be used to help improve balance, coordination and strength.
A gym, equipped with a two-story climbing wall is located on the third-floor, also a firearm and driving simulator to aid in improving patient's skills.
To practice daily living skills, a fully-functional one bedroom apartment is completely equipped for patients to relearn all aspects of independently living with their prosthetic devices, to include a living room, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, and bathroom.
"It's an incredible facility," said Joy Bolger, spouse of 1st Cavalry Division's commander, Maj. Gen. Daniel Bolger. "It's amazing to see the advancement in treatment and technology. From a medical standpoint, recoveries are not easier because of the injuries, but more people are surviving due to the progress of science."

On-going research at LUMCON supports the process of applying knowledge to solve societal problems. LUMCON supports five resident researchers as well as research activities of visiting state and federal departments, university and college faculty, and non-profit organizations. LUMCON is situated within a dynamic coastal habitat that inspires a myriad of research questions along a freshwater to saltwater continuum. The Marine Center lies between an emerging delta to the west (Atchafalaya) and a degrading delta to the east (Mississippi), which provide opportunites for research relevant to coastal landscape change, supported ecosystems, and socially and economically important coastal communities. newmarshThe combination of complex coastal processes, biogeochemical processes, and continued nutrient inputs into the coastal zone, create a natural laboratory. Diverse opportunities and challenges allow for both pure and applied research that have implications for coastal restoration, flood control, and vast living resources (oysters, shrimp, crabs, and fin fisheries). LUMCON faculty and their research teams focus on a variety of related research themes across these diverse habitats, including river/ocean interactions, coastal productivity, physical and geological coastal processes, human and environmental impacts (including the immediate and long-term impacts of the recent Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill), and organismal ecology.
All research activities (residential and visitor) are supported by a number of internal programs. The LUMCON Library is perhaps the best source of marine-related journals in the state, and on-line and interlibrary facilities are excellent. The LUMCON environmental monitoring program currently consists of 2 environmental monitoring stations. LUMCON also has extensive machine and electronic shop capabilities and staff that are available to assist in designing and constructing any equipment needed in support of research projects. LUMCON also has its own vessel operations department with a diverse fleet of research vessels including the R/V Pelican, the R/V Acadiana, and small boats that range from 14 – 30 ft, which are ideal for accessing Louisiana's marshes, swamps, rivers, coastal bays and open ocean.

This post was updated 1/3/2017. Thanks for all your recommendations!
Ask friends to suggest their favorite breakfast place and the recommendations come pouring out like hot coffee on a busy Saturday morning. The passion and loyalty is intense as well. At the risk of treading on dangerous ground(s), I picked a couple of the most popular breakfast restaurants in Bucks to see what makes breakfast so good at their places. Here's a look behind-the-scenes at Vera's Country Café in Ottsville. See our previous post about Fred's Breakfast in New Hope here. Following the profiles, is a pretty good list of breakfast places in Bucks and nearby. (Let me know if I've missed any of your favorites.)
Being the first meal of the day breakfast has certain implications. Most folks are not always at their sharpest so a hot cup of coffee, delivered quickly, is usually the first order of business. A smile doesn't hurt either.
A good breakfast place also radiates comfort and warmth. You really want a welcoming atmosphere for the first meal of the day. A warm, timely greeting when you step in – especially if it's busy – is crucial.
All necessary ingredients for a favorite breakfast place, and all present at Vera's Country Café in Ottsville. A simple building, set back on busy Route 412, Vera's looks like a typical Bucks County roadside restaurant, but it's not. We knew this the first time we stopped in. There was a wait for a table, and we established our place by scrawling our name on a small chalk board. Sitting outside waiting in the warm sun, we noticed a kitchen garden by the side of the restaurant with herbs, tomatoes and hot peppers. Now that's local sourcing, I thought.
Of course, Vera's has all the basics. A big favorite is their creamed chipped beef, always made to order, with smoked dried beef and house-made sauce. But then there's the specials. This is where chef/owner Anthony Lalli really enjoys himself. Anthony has a gleam in his eye as he describes the previous weekend's specials – Southwestern Eggs Benedict, Pomadori Omelet, Shrimp Besciamella Omelet and, a big hit with the winter-weary crowd, Tropical French Toast – French Toast topped with fresh ripe mango, pineapple, star fruit, strawberries and house-made vanilla sauce, finished with toasted coconut ($3.25 each or 3 for $7.25). This is not your typical Bucks County roadside restaurant.
Anthony and Vera Lalli started Vera's five years ago up the road a bit in Pleasant Valley. When the building became available in Ottsville two years ago, they went for it. They replaced everything, shaping and decorating it just the way they wanted. Anthony has a long history with cooking, starting as a boy standing in the kitchen at the elbow of his Italian grandmother. He then went onto the Restaurant School in Philadelphia, and stints working in restaurants throughout Bucks County. But he and Vera always wanted to work together and have something of their own.
"We don't serve typical diner food," explains Vera. "And nothing comes from cans," adds Anthony (except Italian plum tomatoes, he admits). Produce is local in season, eggs from Rick's Eggs just up Route 412, meats from Saylor's in Hellertown, flavored coffee from Homestead Coffee Roasters in Upper Black Eddy, and local maple syrup and honey. Anthony and Vera like to pick their own fruits and vegetables, often driving far to different specialty stores to get ideas and interesting ingredients. Or just a few minutes away to the Ottsville Farmers' Market to get fish from Metropolitan Seafood or local pumpkins and squash. The chicken and tuna salad are made in-house, as is the cole slaw, everyday. Omelets are made in sauté pans, not on the grill, and freshly squeezed orange juice is always available.
"We take pride in what we do," they explain. "And we don't want you to leave hungry," Vera says. "We love to see people happy," explains Anthony, who admits he sometimes peeks out the kitchen window to watch the food being placed in front of customers, enjoying their delight. [See below for more information about Vera's].

1. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...Timo Hahn Nov 13, 2012 5:59 AM (in response to ynandi)If you create an ADF page the framework assumes that you what to use adf rich faces, hence it shows you the adf tags.
In your case you can create a normal JSF page (file->new->jsf/facelets->page). Then open the component palette and select facelets from the drop down menu. The tags you are looking for are under the templating node.
2. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...ynandi Nov 13, 2012 4:45 PM (in response to Timo Hahn)Even if you create a normal, blank JSF page (file->new->jsf/facelets->blank page) in a Jave EE web application, the system assumes it is an ADF page and puts ADF tags in the page. I just want a blank JSF page in which I can create my Facelet based templates .....
Jdeveloper seems to be totally geared towards ADF development and does not easily let you develop in plain JSF /Facelets. Also, it seems misleading to me to call it Facelets when there are no facelet tags in the ADF page ....
Am I missing something ?
3. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...Timo Hahn Nov 13, 2012 5:54 PM (in response to ynandi)This is not true. It depends on the kind of workspace you have created. If oyu use a Java EE Application work space and create blank page in it you end up with
Which is what you want, i guess.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <f:view xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <h:head></h:head> <h:body> <h:form></h:form> </h:body> </html> </f:view>
However, if you create a Fusion wen application workspace jdev rightly assumes that you are using ADF and will add such tags into the page.
Edited by: Timo Hahn on 13.11.2012 18:52
By the way, you can remove the tags and use only the JSF tags (even if you choose a Fusion web application workspace.
4. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...ynandi Nov 14, 2012 4:21 AM (in response to Timo Hahn)Timo:
You are correct. It does not create ADF tags in a Java EE workspace ( Not sure why it did that for me the first time .... perhaps because I was on an ADF application and then swtiched to a JEE application ????? )
Regarding my other question ---- in an ADF application, why does it call it a Facelets type document when there are no facelet tags (ui) in it ? An ADF page seems to be using only JSF and ADF tags ........
5. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...Frank Nimphius-Oracle Nov 14, 2012 7:32 AM (in response to ynandi)Yesh,
according to the JSF specification, Facelets is a View Declaration Language, which means it is a container for defining JSF views (similar to JSPX). If you create ADF pages using Facelets then we use Facelets as the component carrying document. There is no rule in JSF that mandates that only Facelets tags must be used in a JSF page based on Facelets
If you create a page fragment within a JSF project configured to use Facelets, then this is the base source config:
<ui:composition xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"></ui:composition>
6. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...ynandi Nov 14, 2012 3:33 PM (in response to Frank Nimphius-Oracle)Frank:
The idea of using Facelets to the developer was to reuse code via templating of common UI page tags.
If an ADF page does not allow me to use Facelets based templating, then I have lost a key advantage of this capability.
If you are saying that under the hoods, an ADF -Facelets page is using a Facelet container, I am not sure what that means to me as a
developer. What does a Facelets container do ?
If I have 10 ADF pages with a common header, 2 -column layout, how and where do I define my common header across all 10 pages ?
Sorry if my questions seem stupid ---- I am kind of new to the ADF environment ...
Thanks - Yesh
7. Re: Facelets in Jdeveloper ...kdario Nov 14, 2012 5:33 PM (in response to ynandi)>
If I have 10 ADF pages with a common header, 2 -column layout, how and where do I define my common header across all 10 pages ?
You can create new page template(New->JSF/Facelets->ADF Page Template) and then base your pages on this template
add af:pageTemplate to reference existing page template.

August 7, 2009 - Several Montréal hotels have recently undergone major renovations; in fact, many have been given a new facelift so that clients enjoy a truly relaxing stay in a freshly revamped setting.
At the heart of downtown, the Holiday Inn Montréal Midtown invites guests to rediscover its spacious rooms equipped with high-speed wireless Internet, sauna, massage and fitness centre as well as heated indoor pool, the largest in the city.
Still downtown, the Centre Sheraton recently renovated its 825 room and suites to let guests enjoy relaxing evenings and cozy nights, while its Club Lounge offers panoramic sights of the city.
It's been open less than a year, but already the Hilton Garden Inn Montréal has people talking about its modern design, luxurious rooms, indoor pool and rooftop terrace, which affords breathtaking views of downtown.
Located across from Place des Arts in the new Quartier des spectacles, the Hyatt Regency Montréal has recently renovated its 605 rooms and suites.
At the heart of Old Montréal, only steps away from the Quartier international, the Hôtel Intercontinental boasts a new club lounge in addition to its trend-setting bar, Provence-inspired restaurant and rooms which feature cutting-edge technology style and comfort.
Across the street from the Palais des congrès (Montréal Convention Centre) the chic and ultramodern Westin Montréal opened in May with 407 rooms and 47 luxurious and spacious suites. Its restaurant, Gazette, features cuisine inspired by local produce, while the hotel bar, the Reporter, is located on the mezzanine level.
On Saint-Paul Street, the newest from the Antonopoulos family-owner of several boutique hotels and restaurants in Old Montréal and winner of the Grande Ulysse 2007, the highest distinction from the Grand Prix du tourisme québecois-will soon open its doors in a charming historical building. Le Petit Hôtel will offer all the elegance and style of the Antonopolous Group hotels, but with an intimate 24 rooms, will definitely remain cozy.
Enjoy your stay in Montréal!

Making sense of Berkeley
Published 1:53 pm, Wednesday, May 28, 2014
What's Berkeley's story? It's a question that playwright Dan Wolf and director Rebecca Novick sought to answer through interviews with Berkeley residents over the past couple of years. The many responses they received form the basis for "Daylighting," the new play at Shotgun Players.
Jessica Zack, who interviewed Wolf and Novick for this week's cover story, says that Wolf stressed the contradictions they uncovered in the many stories they heard. "On the one hand there is this wonderful culture around food and progressive ideas," Wolf said, "but driving a Prius and then elbowing somebody out of the way to get your organic apple does not a progressive make."
But it's those contradictions, the pair said, that helped shape the complex picture of the city. "We started out thinking we'd uncover Berkeley's secrets, but it turned out to be more complicated than that," Novick said. "People overwhelmingly feel a protective love for Berkeley which doesn't preclude having criticisms. It's like how you love your family but they drive you crazy."

Ashton Kutcher's 'Two and a Half Men' Premiere Seen by 28 Million Viewers (VIDEO)
Though ratings were expected to be high, Ashton Kutcher's much-anticipated debut on Two and a Half Men Monday night still managed to shock everyone by pulling in a whopping 27.7 million viewers, making it he highest-rated episode in Men history.
If that wasn't enough, the episode also marked a stunning 110 percent increase from last season's premiere, helping it to destroy its main competition, Dancing With the Stars (18.6 million), which was down 24 percent from last fall.
Whether or not Ashton, who replaced Men star Charlie Sheen after Sheen made a number of disparaging comments about the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, will be able to retain such a big audience every week remains to be seen. For now, at least, the ratings are in his favor.
Sadly, the same cannot be said of NBC's Mad Men-esque series, The Playboy Club. The newbie series, which co-stars Amber Heard, was seen by just 5.0 million viewers. Ouch.
Tell us: Did you watch Ashton's big debut on Two and a Half Men? Vote now in our poll, then voice your thoughts on the episode in our comments below.

I have a Masters in Education from Spring Hill College, a B.S. degree in Finance as well as an M.B.A. in business from the University of South Alabama.
Life's too short to stop learning!
This is my fourth year at Saraland Middle School. In all I have taught science for 16 years, 12 of which were teaching 8th grade science.
My education experience consists of having taught 10 years at St. Paul's Episcopal School. There I taught labtop science to 8th graders.
I also taught at Calloway-Smith Middle School in downtown Mobile - 8th grade science.
"Science Rocks!"
I am extremely excited to be teaching at Saraland Middle School. I feel like my life has come full circle. Having grown up in Saraland until 5th grade, I have fond memories of this city as home. After moving around the world growing up (no, not military...gypsy blood) my parents always referred to Saraland as home.
I was fortunate enough to marry a wonderful man 33 years ago that set up his practice in none other than Saraland, Al. We have three awesome young adults, they are no longer children. We also have three adorable Pugs and one very shy English Bulldog.
Go Spartans!
Go B.E.S.T. Spartans!
