Tungsten is the prime candidate material for plasma facing components of future fusion devices. Plasma spraying, with its ability to coat large areas, including non-planar surfaces, with a significant thickness, is a prospective fabrication technology for components subject to moderate heat loads, e.g., the first wall of the Demonstration Reactor (DEMO). The functionality of such coatings is critically dependent on their adhesion to the underlying material. This in turn, is influenced by a variety of processing-related factors, chief among them being the state of the interface. In this study, the effects of two factors—surface roughness and the presence of thin interlayers—were investigated. Two different levels of roughness of steel substrates were induced by grit blasting, and two thin interlayers—titanium (Ti) and tungsten (W)—were applied by physical vapor deposition prior to plasma spraying of W by a Water Stabilized Plasma (WSP) torch. Coating adhesion was determined by a shear adhesion test. The structures of the coatings and the interfaces, as well as the characteristics of the fractured surfaces, were observed by SEM.
Nuclear fusion is a prospective energy source for the future, which brings the promise of a safe, relatively clean and large-scale energy source. Its successful realization is critically dependent on the availability of materials able to function in the extremely harsh conditions of a fusion device. In the recently published "Fusion Roadmap" [

The main disadvantage of plasma sprayed coatings is their low thermal conductivity, which makes them applicable only in regions of low to moderate heat fluxes [
As with all coatings, adhesion is a critical issue; without sufficient adhesion, all other coating functions will be lost. Different coating adhesion mechanisms are usually divided into three groups: mechanical, physical, chemical/metallurgical [
Mechanical interlocking is generally accepted as the main adhesion mechanism in most thermal spray methods. Therefore, substrate roughening, e.g., by grit blasting is a common practice in thermal spraying. In general, higher substrate roughness leads to higher adhesion [
The first layer of deposited splats represents the contact between the coating and the substrate. Therefore, their formation is crucial for the development of adhesion. An important factor in this aspect is the deposition temperature. In many materials, a transition temperature was found, above which contiguous, disk-shaped splats typically form, and below which they tend to splash and fragment [
In cases of largely dissimilar materials, bonding interlayers (or "bondcoats") are often introduced. The most common example is thermal barrier coatings in jet engines, where sprayed Ni- or Co-based bondcoat is introduced between the Ni-based turbine blade and plasma sprayed zirconia-based topcoat. In [
This paper focuses on the adhesion of plasma sprayed tungsten on steel substrates. Two factors are considered—substrate roughness and the presence of W and Ti interlayers. The shear adhesion test is complemented by detailed characterization of single splats, interfaces and the fracture surfaces.
For the experiments, six conditions of the substrates were used: bare steel substrates with two levels of roughness (grit-blasted, termed 'fine' and 'coarse') and steel substrates with two types of thin interlayers—Ti and W, again at two roughness levels each (as-machined and grit-blasted substrates). Ti was chosen as a compliant interlayer with the prospect of reducing the stress concentration at the W/Fe interface, caused mainly by the different thermal expansion. Ti was also successfully used in joining of W to steel by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) [
Magnetron sputtering of the Ti and W interlayers was performed in a Hauzer Flexicoat 850 (Hauzer Techno Coating, Venlo, The Netherlands) equipment. First, the samples were ultrasonically cleaned in acetone, flushed with ethanol and dried, before insertion in the coating chamber. The chamber was evacuated to 2 × 10−5 mbar and preheated. The targets were cleaned for 15 min and the samples were cleaned for 20 min by Ar ion bombardment, with plasma current 60 A and bias 200 V. The deposition conditions are summarized in
The W coatings were sprayed by a WSP® water stabilized plasma torch (Institute of Plasma Physics, Prague, Czech Republic), using a 5:1 mixture of tungsten (Alldyne, Huntsville, AL, USA; 63–80 μm) and tungsten carbide (Osram, Bruntál, Czech Republic; 40–80 μm) powders. The WC is a sacrificial additive, undergoing decarburization during spraying; the carbon reacts with oxygen, making less of it available for oxidizing the tungsten [
The adhesion strength was measured using a standardized shear test (EN 15340) [

Observations of individual sprayed splats, metallographic cross-sections of the full coatings and fracture surfaces of the tested samples were performed in an EVO MA15 scanning electron microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) in backscattered and/or secondary electron modes. Elemental analysis was performed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in the SEM, using an XFlash 5010 detector (Bruker, Berlin, Germany). Post-mortem analysis of the shear test samples was focused on the fracture location—either through the coating (coating cohesive failure), along the interface of coating-interlayer (coating adhesive failure) or along the interface of interlayer-substrate (interlayer adhesive failure). Detailed fractographic analysis of the fracture surfaces was also performed.
Since the first splats deposited on the substrate form the coating-substrate interface, attention was paid to their morphology and the conditions of their formation. An overview of the isolated splat deposited on four different substrates—polished steel, grit-blasted steel, polished steel with Ti and W interlayers—is shown in

On Ti-coated polished substrate, splat fragmentation was also observed, but less frequently, while the majority of the splats were contiguous. The tungsten particles were able to melt through the thin Ti layer and cause local melting and jetting of the steel substrate under/around the impact point, as shown by the microanalysis (see below). The splats deposited on W-coated polished substrate had a much less regular surface than in the cases above, but no fragmentation was observed. Also, no signs of substrate melting were found. On both Ti-coated and W-coated polished steel, splat recoil was sometimes observed. The diameter of the splat at the largest spread is indicated by the boundary between unaffected (outside of the splat) and affected (under the splat before the recoil) tungsten oxide deposit (

The results of shear adhesion testing are summarized in
Considering the two different modes of failure and different values of cohesion within mode 2, it seems that the coatings, although having been sprayed in one run under identical spraying parameters, were somehow influenced by the surface treatment. To confirm this suspicion, the coatings were subjected to indentation loading using Vickers indenter and a weight of 1 kg. The results in

As all tested samples failed cohesively, it is not possible to directly compare their adhesion strength. Nevertheless, it is well known that the "diffusion bond" is one of the strongest possible bonding interactions [
In this work, the effect of Ti and W interlayers deposited by a PVD technique on steel substrates with two different roughness levels was studied. The shear test of adhesion showed that for all samples, their cohesion strength was lower than the adhesion strength. Thus, it was not possible to quantify the combined effect of surface roughness and PVD layer on the adhesion of the plasma sprayed coatings. Nevertheless, the detailed characterization has shed some light on the phenomena taking place at the interface and allowed us to discuss the effect of interlayers. It is commonly accepted that mechanical interlocking is the main adhesion mechanism of thermal spray deposits [
The PVD tungsten layer did not adhere properly to the substrate; moreover, a relatively thick scale of brittle and porous oxide covered its surface during the plasma spraying process. Considering the early failure of W1 samples and the properties of tungsten oxide, a positive effect on coating adhesion cannot be expected. In the case of W2 samples with a higher initial substrate roughness, increased adherence of the coating can be attributed to a more effective interlocking mechanism on the surface asperities.
In summary, the positive effect of substrate roughness and of the Ti interlayer was demonstrated in this work. Further improvement of the coating adhesive/cohesive strength may be achieved by a combination of a Ti interlayer with increased substrate roughness, and suppression of oxidation during spraying.

Wellington (AFP) Sept 8, 2010
The earthquake that devastated Christchurch may help, rather than hinder, economic growth by triggering a construction spree as New Zealand tries to shake off the effects of recession, analysts say.
While no one died in Saturday's 7.0-magnitude quake, economic activity in the city has ground to a halt as authorities enforce a no-go zone in parts considered unsafe to enter due to danger from falling debris.
The quake damaged an estimated 100,000 homes, tore up roads and smashed infrastructure such as water and sewage pipes, creating a repair bill officials estimate will reach four billion New Zealand dollars (2.7 billion US).
Yet the benchmark NZX-50 share index rose steadily when trading resumed after the disaster, lifting more than two percent on Monday and Tuesday.
Construction firms such as Fletcher Building and steel products manufacturer Steel & Tube were the biggest gainers as investors looked to an increase in building activity as the clean-up gathers pace.
"The local economy is likely to get a substantial boost from reconstruction activity that will be much larger than the initial income loss," Westpac economists said in a briefing note.
Analysts said billions of dollars being pumped into earthquake repairs could lift the economy as it slowly recovers from a recession that began in early 2008 and extended into the second quarter of 2009
"In many ways it couldn't have come at a better time, although that's an awful way to describe it," BNZ senior economist Craig Egbert said.
Egbert said retailers could also benefit as homeowners and wholesalers replenished damaged goods, although he warned the disaster's scale made economic modelling difficult.
But Nick Tuffley, an economist at ASB Bank, said there were international precedents for cataclysmic natural events lifting economic activity.
"Overseas experiences suggest national GDP (gross domestic product) could be weak in the third quarter. However, reconstruction activity will subsequently boost GDP, potentially by 1.5 percentage points," Tuffley said.
Westpac said natural disaster were most dangerous to an economy when it was performing strongly.
"When the economy is running below capacity -- as is the case today, and especially in the construction sector -- the temporary boost to demand can be a substantial boost to GDP," the bank said.
It pointed out that New Zealand's most destructive earthquake, at Napier in 1931 and which killed 256 people, occurred during the Great Depression and helped spur growth.
Economists agreed that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand was set to keep interest rates on hold at 3.0 percent as it assesses the quake's impact.
"The RBNZ will seek to shore up confidence in the first instance, so any remaining chance of a rate hike in the September monetary policy statement has been eliminated," Westpac said.
Egbert said there was still uncertainty about the quake's effect, particularly since the government was about to introduce changes to its existing consumption tax and one of the country's biggest non-bank lenders, South Canterbury Finance, went into receivership this month.
"The data was always going to be volatile, this just adds a whole layer of uncertainty to that," he said.

- Specific Instructions
File Form 1099-LTC if you pay any long-term care benefits.
"Long-term care benefits" means:
Any payments made under a product that is advertised, marketed, or offered as long-term care insurance (whether qualified or not); and
Accelerated death benefits (excludable in whole or in part from gross income under section 101(g)) paid under a life insurance contract or paid by a viatical settlement provider.
File Form 1099-LTC if you paid any long-term care benefits, including accelerated death benefits. Payers include insurance companies, governmental units, and viatical settlement providers.
A viatical settlement provider is any person who:
Is regularly engaged in the trade or business of purchasing or taking assignments of life insurance contracts on the lives of terminally or chronically ill individuals, and
Is licensed in the state where the insured lives. If licensing is not required in the state, the provider must meet other requirements (including those below) depending on whether the insured is terminally or chronically ill.
If the insured is terminally ill, the provider must meet the requirements of sections 8 and 9 of the Viatical Settlements Model Act of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), relating to disclosure and general rules. The provider must also meet the requirements of the Model Regulations of the NAIC for evaluating the reasonableness of amounts paid in viatical settlement transactions with terminally ill individuals.
If the insured is chronically ill, the provider must meet requirements similar to those of sections 8 and 9 of the Viatical Settlements Model Act of the NAIC and must also meet any standards of the NAIC for evaluating the reasonableness of amounts paid in viatical settlement transactions with chronically ill individuals.
A contract issued after 1996 is a qualified long-term care insurance contract if it meets the requirements of section 7702B, including the requirement that the insured must be a chronically ill individual (see Chronically Ill Individual, later). A contract issued before 1997 generally is treated as a qualified long-term care insurance contract if it met state law requirements for long-term care insurance contracts and it has not been materially changed.
An accelerated death benefit is any amount paid under a life insurance contract for an insured individual who is terminally or chronically ill. It also includes any amount paid by a viatical settlement provider for the sale or assignment of a death benefit under a life insurance contract for a chronically or terminally ill individual.
A chronically ill individual is someone who has been certified (at least annually) by a licensed health care practitioner as:
Being unable to perform, without substantial assistance from another individual, at least two daily living activities (eating, toileting, transferring, bathing, dressing, and continence) for at least 90 days due to a loss of functional capacity; or
Requiring substantial supervision to protect the individual from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment.
Report payments only if the policyholder is an individual. Reportable payments are those made to the policyholder, to the insured, or to a third party.
You may report benefits paid from each contract on a separate Form 1099-LTC. At your option, you may aggregate benefits paid under multiple contracts on one Form 1099-LTC if the same information is reportable on the form for each contract (other than the amount of benefits paid).
The policyholder is the individual who owns the contract, including the owner of a contract sold or assigned to a viatical settlement provider. In the case of a group contract, the term "policyholder" includes the certificate holder (or similar participant). You must report long-term care benefits to the policyholder even if the payments were made to the insured or to a third party (for example, a nursing home, caretaker, or physician). The policyholder also may be the insured.
Enter the name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the policyholder on Form 1099-LTC. If the policyholder is not an individual, no reporting is required.
The insured is the chronically or terminally ill individual on whose behalf long-term care benefits are paid.
Enter the name, address, and TIN of the insured on Form 1099-LTC.
If you are required to file Form 1099-LTC, you must furnish a statement or acceptable substitute to both the policyholder and to the insured as shown.
|IF the statement is for the ...
|THEN use...
|Copy B
|Copy C
|Policyholder and the policyholder is the insured
|Copy B (Copy C is optional)
For more information about the requirement to furnish a statement to the policyholder and to the insured, see part M in the 2017 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.
The account number is required if you have multiple accounts for a recipient for whom you are filing more than one Form 1099-LTC. Additionally, the IRS encourages you to designate an account number for all Forms 1099-LTC that you file. See part L in the 2017 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.
Enter the gross long-term care benefits paid this year (other than accelerated death benefits). These benefits are all amounts paid out on a per diem or other periodic basis or on a reimbursed basis. It includes amounts paid to the insured, to the policyholder, and to third parties. You are not required to determine whether any benefits are taxable or nontaxable.
Enter the gross accelerated death benefits paid under a life insurance contract this year to or on behalf of an insured who has been certified as terminally or chronically ill. Include the amount paid by a viatical settlement provider for the sale or assignment of the insured's death benefit under a life insurance contract.
Check a box to indicate whether the payments were made on a per diem or other periodic basis or on a reimbursed basis. For accelerated death benefits, do not check a box if you made payments on behalf of a terminally ill person. "Per diem basis" means payments made on any periodic basis without regard to actual expenses. "Reimbursed basis" means payments made for actual expenses incurred.
Check the box to indicate whether long-term care insurance benefits are paid from a qualified long-term care insurance contract. See Qualified Long-Term Care Insurance Contract, earlier.
Check the box to indicate whether the insured was chronically or terminally ill. Also, enter the latest date certified. If the insured was neither chronically nor terminally ill, leave this box blank. See Chronically Ill Individual and Terminally Ill Individual, earlier.

| Hopefully I've reached the correct docket.
I just became aware through my local grocer that the FDA recently approved the sale of meat from cloned animals. While this may be an issue in and of itself, what bothers me more is that meat producers will be able to sell the meat without labeling it as meat from a cloned animal. It is very disturbing to me that I such labeling is not a requirement. The public has the right to know the source of their food products. This is not a step in the right direction.
Please change the draft to require that all meat from cloned animals is labeled as such for the benefit of the grocers and consumers.

Lesson Plans
These lessons are based on the Women of the Oklahoma Legislature Oral History Project. They are provided courtesy of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program (OOHRP) at the Oklahoma State University Library with generous support from the Women's Archives at OSU and the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women. The curriculum was created by Dr. Linda Henshall Wilson of Northeastern State University and Latasha Wilson of the OOHRP.
The Women of the Oklahoma Legislature is one of many projects undertaken by the OOHRP. This oral history project captures and records information about female Oklahoma legislators in their own voices and provides an opportunity to reflect on their individual paths to the Capitol. It also documents more completely the presence of these women in state government.
The OOHRP invites you to use these lesson plans to introduce students to this group of women who have played such an important role in Oklahoma politics.

text: Total revenues for Motel 168 came below our previous guidance due to worse than expected market conditions and accelerated overhaul of the food and beverage operations. About 55% of Motel 168 lease-and-operated hotels are located in the Yangtze Delta region, including Jiangsu and Zhejiang province, with relatively more concentrated manufacturing and export dependability impacted by the overall structural form of the China economy.Net of this fact however, Motel 168 continued to achieve improvement in occupancy rate without decreasing average daily rates. Second quarter occupancy rate for Motel 168 increased to 80.8% from 70.4% in the first quarter of 2012, and from 74.6% in the second quarter of 2011. Our integration efforts are generating positive results. Meanwhile, we furthered our initiatives to restructure Motel 168 food and beverage operations in the second quarter. Part of the room revenue growth was offset by the sharp reduction in food and beverage revenues. The immediate benefit of such initiative were reduced costs associated with an inefficiently stressful structure of food and beverage operations. We are in the process of ramping a more profitable food and beverage in line with that of the Home Inns brand. On the development front, we opened a total of 103 new hotels, including 32 new lease-and-operate hotels and 71 new franchised-and-managed hotels, of which six were franchised-and-managed Motel 168 hotels. We are on track to open a total of 330 to 360 new hotels in 2012. At the end of second quarter, we have a robust pipeline of 240 fellow hotels contracted or under constructions. Of which, 75 were lease-and-operate hotels and 172 were franchise-and-managed hotels. Since our rebuilding of development pipeline post-global financial crisis in 2009, we have built a strongest franchise hotel pipeline as of the end of second quarter. We are well prepared to further leverage our proven franchise management program and platforms to maximize our brand value. Franchising is an increasingly important component of our business.

When did father establish paternity through the DNA test?
How long has father been involved with the child? Since birth?
Does child know that he is her biological father?
When you say "saw her every other weekend" did he take the child for activities?
There may be a time lag between my replies as I am typically working with several customers at any given time, but rest assured, I will get back with you as soon as I am able.
If you need additional clarification on this question, just click "Reply" and I will be happy to help you. Please give me as much detail as you can so that I can respond after receiving all the relevant details.
No DNA has ever been established. My husband was the presumed father being we was married and living together when she was conceived.
She was 9month approx. when I first introduced her to her other family.
It wasn't until she was 3.5 yrs of age before I began to allow her to visit with her other family every other weekend. Starting on a Friday and ending on a Sunday.
My daughter relizes she has two dads. However I don't believe she understands Why just yet, she's only 5.
My husband never did agree to my dection. Now the other dad is trying to take her away. My husband is trying to find out his rights and if there was a time limit for which the other dad should of filed a suit with the courts if he wanted to continue full access.
today we was notified that the Intervenor placed a TRO. Until a court day in 20 days which he is then court papers say
The preceding temporary restraining order should be made a temporary injunction pending final hearing.
the additional temporary injunction prayed for should be granted.
Intervenor should be appointed temporary sole managing conservator of the child.
the court should order reasonable periods of electronic communication between the child and intervenor to supplement intervenor's period of possession of the child.
Intervenor Respondent should be denied access to the child or, alternatively, the court should render a possession order in accordance with sec. 153.004(d)(2) of the Texas Family Code or providing that Intervenor Respondent's Periods of visitation be continuously supervised.
the court should order the psychological evaluation of the parties and the child.
the cour should order the parties to attend a parent education and family stabilization course
Ok, I misunderstood your comments to mean that he had already had genetic testing done and has been confirmed the biological father.
This is covered under TX Family Code 160.607. TIME LIMITATION: CHILD HAVING PRESUMED FATHER.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by Subsection (b), a proceeding brought by a presumed father, the mother, or another individual to adjudicate the parentage of a child having a presumed father shall be commenced not later than the fourth anniversary of the date of the birth of the child.
(b) A proceeding seeking to disprove the father-child relationship between a child and the child's presumed father may be maintained at any time if the court determines that:(1) the presumed father and the mother of the child did not live together or engage in sexual intercourse with each other during the probable time of conception; and(2) the presumed father never represented to others that the child was his own.
So bio father would have had to file a paternity action before the child's fourth birthday in order to establish his parternal rights. Since he has failed to do so, your husband, as presumed father, will now permanently be considered the child's father.
His filing for a TRO apparently will give him additional rights to contact with the child, at least temporarily until a judge hears the case.
But the law still states that he would have had to file a paternity action before the child's 4th birthday.
Well, even if you allowed informal visitation, the law is very specific that he would have had to act to protect his rights to paternity before the child turned 4 to preserve them.
The truth of it is that while the law says he loses, a lot of it will boil down to the judge and what s/he wants to do in the case.
How should we approach the courts with this information?
And ask the courts to dismiss the case and acknowledge my husband as her father?
I wouldn't suggest doing it without a family law attorney to assist and counter any arguments that he may have. It sounds like he may already have an attorney based on his filings. And it is never good for a layman to go up against an attorney in the courtroom. But if you are going to try it on your own, you would draft up and file a motion to dismiss based on that particular law I cited above. You would basically state that he is attempting to prove paternity. The child is now 5 years old (attach a copy of the birth certificate). TX Family Code 160.607 clearly states that any action to disprove paternity of a presumed father shall be commenced by the child's 4th birthday. Since he has not acted in accordance with the mandatory provisions of the law, his action should be dismissed with prejudice and husband should be formally recognized as the child's parent.

Different facial expressions can cause wrinkles, such as laughlines from smiling and frown lines from seeing a baby get attention just for eating spaghetti. Even things out with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $59 for two microdermabrasion facial treatments (a $300 value)
- $109 for four microdermabrasion facial treatments (a $600 value)
- $149 for six microdermabrasion facial treatments (a $900 value)
Microdermabrasion facial treatments apply a gentle abrasion to remove layers of dead skin cells and reveal young, healthy skin. The facial treatment reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation.
NYAH Med Spa
Exposed brick, stone masonry, and long, arched windows line the facade of NYAH Med Spa's cottage-like building. But what lies behind the beautiful exterior is an arsenal of cutting-edge aesthetic technology—fittingly, since that's also what lies behind the beautiful exterior of each departing client. To get skin to its most radiant, the spa's team of aestheticians calls on treatments ranging from the traditional, such as its more than 10 classic facials, to more novel services that use IPL, lasers, or skin-safe chemical solutions to banish fine lines and blemishes. They even perform a slate of teen-specific services that target the acne, oil, and eye rolls of adolescence, along with numerous treatments tailored to men. Bodies get their time in the spotlight, as well—luxurious body scrubs and massages give way to higher-tech treatments such as laser hair removal and VelaShape body sculpting.

Jerusalem (Jun. 21)
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency was informed today that Sir Arthur Wauchope, the High Commissioner of Palestine, will proceed to London about the middle of August in connection with his project to establish a Legislative Council in Palestine.
The regulations governing the elections of Chief Rabbis and the Rabbinical Council of the Palestine Jewish Community were made public here as approved by the government.
These regulations provide for a Council of five-year duration. The election procedure places power in the hands of the lay and religious representatives in the proportion of twenty-eight laymen to forty-two rabbis. An election committee will be formed of four appointees of the existing Rabbinical Council, and four appointees of the Vaad Leumi.

When it comes to headphones, you have three basic choices to make. You either go for 'cans' that fit over the top of your head and sit on or around your ears; you can choose earbuds - which hang just on the cartilage 'hook' of your ear; or you can plump for canalphones, the type that you shove right down your ear canals.
The latter has experienced a huge uptake in popularity in the past few years. Once the idea of inserting a foreign object deep into my ears seemed an objectionable concept; now it seems second nature - and earbuds are slowly but surely being consigned to also rans.
It's easy to see why this is happening: the passive sound isolation you can achieve with a snug-fitting pair of canalphones allows you to get closer to the music without having to crank the volume up to deafening levels, and the design has proved so popular that all sorts of variations on the theme have sprung up.
Fittings range from triple-flanged rubber cones that go deep inside your ear to single fitments that sit just at the end. The latter is where Sennheiser's latest canalphones - the CX 95 Style - sit. These are headphones for those who may not yet be convinced or converted by the canalphones concept: they're designed to plug just the outer part of your ear canal not go right in. As a result they're pretty comfortable to wear. Even someone not used to wearing in-ear headphones will get used to these pretty quickly and their light weight means they don't tug at your lugs as other headphones can.
In the box there's plenty of scope for different ear sizes too: small, medium and large fittings are supplied in the box, though I was a little disappointed to see no foam tips. There are other handy accessories, though. You get a sturdy hard case with the CX 95s with a central cable winder, along with a metre-long extension cable, should the 30cm-long captive cable be too short.
The light weight of these headphones and mid-range cost - a reasonable £63 - aren't without their downsides. They don't feel like the most robust phones I've ever used. The cable is the chief culprit here: it feels thin and flimsy, and I was quite nervous about catching it in my jacket zip. Ultimate Ears' Super.fi 4's were much better in this respect, combining thick cabling with a remarkable resistance to tangling. The cables on Shure's headphones are also thicker and feel more hardwearing than this. The earpiece bodies are light, too - they don't feel as well-made as the hefty, metal-bodied Super.fi 4s or the Cerulean X1's I reviewed last year.
These lasted me 7 months (May 08 to Jan 09) before the left earphone died. Not bad sound quality though.
My left earphone just died as well!
I can't quite understand how it happened though, as they were fine when I used them once, then I put them in again later that day (they had been in their case) and the left had broken. Weird...
I'm not sure what's going on with these headphones' raving reviews. I've just ordered them and it only took me 3 seconds to realize the quality of the sound is not even worth the definition of mediocre.
A thorough testing showed the sound delivered has no dynamic whatsoever, the music feels muted (I had to change my equalizer to acoustic settings to start getting something near decent), and they're just unable to sustain higher levels on an iPod (bases are okay, the problem is more on the trebles, literally crying for lower levels).
Besides, it's been mentioned elsewhere but the cables are not bad. They're terrible. Tilt your head and they produce a scratching noise. Even clipping them doesn't really save them from mediocrity. So kind of forget using them on the go if you're not into loud music, this irritating noise will get to your nerves before you reach the next tube station.
Now there are 2 options to explain what's going on:
1/ There is something wrong with the ones I bought and they're faulty.
2/ Some people need to buy themselves some proper headphones before they tell they're amazed by the quality of those, and ESPECIALLY before defining them as "the best under 𧴜". Because if mines work properly they're very, very, very far from it, and you can find much better models that will deliver a clearer, more intelligible sound.
All in all, before jumping to conclusions I'd really recommend anyone to TRY these headphones before they buy them, and to not believe the hype.
I am utterly disappointed with these earphones.
The treble on them is appalling and cannot find one setting on IPOD eq that i like listening to these earphones with.
Try before you but as I feel that have really wasted my money.
I bought them 8 months ago and they continue to sound so well as the first day, the only point I see against and which referred in this review are the thick cables, and it is true they do an annoying sound when the cables touch your clothes, but I hadn't any other problems with the cables until now.
Concerning the sound the sound quality I see these headphones as the best option under 100£ because I have tried several headphones on this price range(for example, Shure SE110) and they all had the same problem, a huge lack of bass. This is an issue for those who like rock/metal genre music and Sennheiser CX95 were the ones until now who proper and perfectly worked with the rock EQ of the iPod 120GB I got, they reproduce a very well balanced sound that can't be compared to the tiny and even depressing of Shure SE110. These are the main reasons for me to truly recommend these headphones among all the others under 100£ price range.
I've just received the pair of CX550 II's that I understand are the latest replacement for the now obsolete CX95s. Note that, because I know how many cheap fake Sennheiser lookalikes are being sold, I made sure I bought mine from Amazon themselves, not from one of their market traders. Even so I paid a penny less than £40.
I have been using a pair of Denon AH-C551 canalphones, which I never found totally satisfactory - I had to fit seals from other phones to get a decent acoustic seal and, even then, I had to change the equalisation on my music player before I got anything like a decent sound from them. The new Sennheisers, on the other hand, immediately sound more open, better balanced and get me much closer to the music. And now, finally, I can tell that higher bit-rate MP3s do sound better than those recorded at 128 kbs!
Great value and highly recommended!
Hi Jonathan Bray!
What has Sennheiser replaced the CX 95/550 with?

Episode Summary for Episode 137 - The Ancestor's Name is Kagome. Written by inuyashaworld.com visitor
I've seen the ep and I can tell you that Houjou-kun's ancestor gets pretty damn close to kissing Kagome. However he's interrupted, see after they both fell off the clif in ep 137 they ended up going down a river where Kagome's foot was injured. Houjou carries her until they reach a clearing. back with Inuyasha he's fighting some new demon that seems VERY strong. Anyways...(skipping a few bits) Kagome and Houjou fall asleep on a tree...Houjou-kun's ancestor is the first one to wake up and decides to kiss Kagome, but it interrupted by the sound of some people...who turn out to be identical images of Kagome's friends in the future (You find she lost one of her friends group pics in the forest, demons find it and look at it, minions of the VERY powerful one.) Anyways Kagome doesn't know whether or not to trust them..later with a slip of false information from the fake friends Kagome and Houjou-kun's ancestor get in their fighting stances. However Inuyasha is still occupied so he sends Miroku and Sango to find Kagome....however all they find is a piece of clothing in the river. During this Kagome is kidnapped....Houjou-kun's ancestor panics and runs away from the scene running head on into Inuyasha who asks where Kagome is angerily. Then you see the VERY powerful demon hovering above with Kagome in his arms.

Kagome does go back to the warring era after she saw the family tree at her school with her name on it that Hojo brought. Once back in the warring era, Kagome meets Hojo's ancestor again who has a secret crush on Kagome. But before she arrives, Hojo's ancestor showed the Inuyasha and Gang the Jaki infested sword he carries wrapped up and tells them about his quest. Of course there were youkai after the sword, so they were after him too.
A few minutes later, Kagome arrives in the warring era and accidentally knocked him on the ground with her items she brought as well as stepped on him ^_^ (Hojo's ancestor was waiting for her at the well). Hojo's ancestor repeated his story to her as well. A few minutes later, youkai that were after the sword attacks Inuyasha and Gang two times; the first time youkai escaped because Kagome's purification arrows broke the bird-like "kite" they were using in the attack. The second time they were successful--in the process, they knocked Kagome and Hojo's ancestor off a cliff.
The episode ended with Kagome and Hojo's ancestor falling into the water at the cliff's base and Inuyasha calling Kagome...

I saw this episode raw (in Japanese with no subtitles)...so forgive me if anything is wrong. I know most of it is out of order, again I'm very sorry. This isn't exactly a summary, but it's an idea of what happens.
Kagome is at school, and sees her name on Houjo's family tree. She goes back to the past, and meets up with Akitoki (remember him from the 2nd movie? He's Houjo's ancestor). He has a sword with him that has a great evil aura around it and when he unsheaths it Inuyasha goes into a trance-like state.
Akitoki is definatly not the smartest or bravest of guys, and he has a huge crush on Kagome. She gives him alot of special attention, which makes Inuyasha very jelous and upset ^^
Now I'm very sorry, I had no idea what was going on around the begining of the episode. They end up travelling with Akitoki to who knows where. They stop to rest at a small hut.
Kagome is filling her waterbottle and Inuyasha approaches. They begin to fight about something, and it ends with Inuyasha saying something about Humans and Hanyous. I believe this is sort of a sweet moment between the two. He storms off and Kagome chases him.
A strange enemy who we see only in darkness causes a rockslide. Inuyasha uses a Kaze no Kizu to save the group and blasts all of the rocks to peices.
Soon after that there is a ninja-like enemy flying on a kite over the group dropping explosives on them. Kagome shoots an arrow, and the strange enemy retreats.
We see the group sitting by a river surrounded by rock walls. Akitoki tells them of two evil swords, that can merge and become one (So the evil sword Akitoki has is probably one of those). Kagome mumbles something and seems very worried. Suddenly Myoga (the flea) falls from the sky and tells the group something that seems very important regarding Totosai, and the evil sword Kaijinbou (sp?). Inuyasha gives a 'Keh' and it seems he doesn't care.
We see another scene of the strange enemies, a pink glowing 'boss' tells something to a small group of ninja-type underlings.
The group is camping at night. Suddenly many bombs are dropped. They start to run away, and Akitoki is caught in one of the blasts. Kagome runs to his side to help him, and she is caught in a blast as well. They are thrown off a cliff, and the episode ends with the pair falling into the abyss and Inuyasha calling out Kagome's name.
In the preview for next episode we see Inuyasha fighting the greenish looking ninja enemies, and a happy looking Kagome riding on Akitoki's shoulders. Then we see Kagome leaning against a tree, and Akitoki about to kiss her!!!

Episode 137: Gosenzo-sama no Na wa Kagome
The Ancestor's Name is Kagome
In the present era, Houjou-kun brings a document of his family tree
to school and Kagome is surprised to see a 'Kagome' listed on it!
After this, upon returning to the Sengoku Jidai, Houjou-kun's
ancestor, Houjou Akitoki, requests they go on a journey to purify a
spear that has been handed down through his family: the Halberd of
Heaven and Earth. (How I know after each episode there is a little
part that shows what will be happening in the next episode).

I think in this episode, that Kagome and the rest of the Inuyasha gang will make a stop at Kaede's village for some much needed r' and r'. Kagome will go back through the well for a while to see her family. While she is gone a visitor will come to the village, a monk (hint hint--Higurashi family history!)
Any way, Kagome returns to find this person who falls head over heels for her (eek!that is totally wrong, but It would be kinda funny) and makes Inuyasha jealous (of course-this guy better watch out!). In the end she finds out he is her ancestor (whew!) and He joins with them in their search for the jewel shards.

I had gastric bypass surgery 10 yrs ago and lost 150lbs. Dr Gervais removed 7lbs of skin in 2007 from my midsection, and I love my flat tummy. Now for the rest of me, my breasts sag so bad my teenage daughter refers to them as my boob belt! I will be getting breast and arm lift on the 10th, and on the 17th skin removed vertically by extension of gastric bypass scar, and de-bulking of thighs in preparation for future thigh lift.

Willow & Nicki Bring The Fire!! [VIDEO]
Definitely an unexpected collaboration from Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj but a hot one!
Definitely an unexpected collaboration from Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj but a hot one!
Things get a little explosive in the video for the Willow and Nicki Minaj duet 'Fireball.' The vid opens with Star Wars credits, with words ascending against a black, starry sky. Nice touch, ladies. While there is the requisite amount of flames for a vid for a song with the word "fire" in the title, the most standout thing about the urban, semi apocalyptic clip? The way Willow dances in the streets, with her long, coltish legs and exaggerated moves.
On the heels of her 'Fireball' video premiere, Willow Smith appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show to talk about everything from Nicki Minaj to her debut album.
Willow's back for her next attempt at achieving 'Whip My Hair'-level success, but this time she's brought along hip-hop princess Nicki Minaj to up her game.
Both stars trade rap verses on the recently released 'Fireball,' where the 10-year-old multimedia magnate kicks things off by asking "Um, hello? Can we get this party started?"
Willow Smith may not be old enough to drink, vote or drive, but in the fashion world, she's a fashion icon.
"Naturally talented, charismatic, unblemished optimism, with the whole wide world open to her possibilities and abilities. I think she is the future-forward American icon." Those were the words designer Derek Lam used to describe the 10-year-old 'Whip My Hair' songstress.
Sources say, recently, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith revealed details on her keys to success in Hollywood, and working on different projects with rapper/mogul, Jay-Z...
According to reports, hip-hop stars LL Cool J, Ice Cube and Willow Smith were among those who walked away with NAACP Image Awards Friday night...
What Does it Mean to Buy Life?
There is a profound difference between living and life. Living may extend time for another day. But life is far more than sleeping and waking. Life is more than merely existing.
Over the next couple of weeks the spotlight will be shining bright on Will and Jada's kids.
Jaden and Willow Smith, if you haven't noticed, are having a moment.
I had an opportunity to stumble upon an amazing video of Will Smith talking about his work ethic, method and why he believe in "No Plan B...
Will Smith and Jay-Z are collaborating to produce a movie-musical that would star Will's daughter Willow Smith. Sony is considering backing the project...

Missoula, Mont. • The third time was not the charm for Southern Utah.
The Thunderbirds twice beat No. 2 Northern Colorado this season, but Wednesday it was the Bears who came away the 67-56 winners in the opening round of the women's Big Sky Conference Tournament in Dahlberg Arena.
Southern Utah (15-16, 9-12 Big Sky) went into the locker room tied, but a 10-0 run in the second half put UNC in control.
"This is not the outcome to this game that we were hoping for," SUU coach JR Payne said afterward. "We came in very confident in our abilities and our game plan but knowing that we were playing a great team. They have shown excellence all season. We are disappointed in the outcome but proud of our efforts."
Southern Utah, in its first season in the BSC, entered the tournament as the seventh seed. SUU was led by Carli Moreland with a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds.

wp home > teaching resources > employment
The Writing Program at UMass Amherst offers a number of graduate Teaching Associateships for teaching Englwrit 111: Basic Writing and Englwrit 112/112H: College Writing.
ELIGIBILITY. Current graduate students at UMass Amherst are welcome to apply for Teaching Associateships in the Writing Program. We have a long-standing relationship with the UMass Amherst English Department, and most of our Teaching Associates (TOs) are MFA and MA/PhD students in English. We do occasionally offer TOships to MA/PhD students in other graduate programs at UMass Amherst.
We generally do not hire lecturers but, for unexpected changes (e.g., sudden enrollment increases), we may hire part-time lecturers on a short-term basis. For those positions, we typically hire recent MFA/PhD graduates of this University who already have experience and a successful record of teaching in our Program.
We do not staff Junior Year Writing courses. For information on those positions, contact the JYW representatives from departments directly.
TEACHING ASSOCIATESHIP POSITIONS IN THE WRITING PROGRAM. A full TOship in the Writing Program typically involves teaching three (3) sections of Basic or College Writing over the course of the academic year (that is, two sections one semester and one section the other). TOs participate in extensive training before and during their first year of employment in the Program. For more information, see Teaching Resources, which also includes a link to our Instructor's Handbook.
In 2016-17, TOships in the Writing Program carry an annual stipend of $19,174.80, which includes remission of most tuition and fees and enrollment in a health care plan. Information on graduate student fees and graduate student employment at UMass Amherst can be found at the websites of the UMass Amherst Graduate Assistantship Office and the UMass Amherst Graduate Employee Organization (GEO).
TOships are renewable up to a certain number of semesters (depending on the graduate program) barring unforeseen budgetary circumstances and given satisfactory progress towards degree and satisfactory teaching performance.
APPLICATION PROCESS. The application process for TOships is competitive! Each year, in consultation with the relevant Graduate Program Directors, we hire 25-35 new TOs, but we typically receive three to four times that number of applications--mostly from prospective graduate students in English but also from currrent graduate students in English and other departments at UMass Amherst.
Applicants provide a curriculum vitae of their academic and employment history, letters of recommendation, an expository writing sample, a short answer to a question about effective teaching, and a response to a sample student essay. Applicants who are accepted into their graduate program and who are deemed acceptable by the Writing Program are then interviewed, either in person or by telephone (we do not guarantee an interview to all applicants).
Initial offers for new TOships for the following academic year are usually made well before the April 15 deadline for acceptance to graduate study at UMass Amherst. Applicants who do not receive a TOship from the Writing Program but decide to come study at the University anyway are welcome to apply again the following year, though there is no guarantee that a TOship will be offered then. Not all returning applicants are re-interviewed.
Applications are judged on the following criteria:
interest in and commitment to the teaching of writing and to our students' development as writers;
knowledge of and compatibility with the Writing Program's philosophy of writing instruction — or indications of a philosophy of teaching and writing which complements that of the Writing Program;
openness and adaptability towards the Writing Program curriculum and different styles of teaching and learning;
insight into the writing process — ability to articulate both the complexity and the excitement of writing;
professionalism — indications of maturity (ability to handle a class), reliability, collegiality, responsibility; and
experience — teaching, tutoring, and/or experience working with diverse populations, including L2 writers and students with disabilities.
APPLICATIONS. Applications for Writing Program TOships for the 2017-18 academic year are available now. Graduate students currently enrolled at UMass may download the application in Word format by clicking here or in PDF format here and send their application directly to the Writing Program (305 Bartlett Hall). Prospective graduate students can download the application in Word format by clicking here or in PDF format here and upload the completed application to the "Add Materials" tab in the Graduate Admissions Portal. Applicants must submit this application alongside their application to Graduate School. Applications are due December 15, 2016.

The resulting image is saved to a file or sent to stdio where it can be piped to something like ncftpput or scp.
Latest version is fswebcam-20110717 tar.gz tar.xz
Older versions and other related files can be found here.
A public git repository is available here: http://github.com/fsphil/fswebcam
fswebcam is the simplest and easiest way to have your webcam capture single frames, also programmatically at a specified timer interval. Of course it's also possible to call fswebcam from a bash script anytime it's required, but this is another story.
To install fswebcam simply run:
sudo apt-get install fswebcam
One of the nice features of fswebcam is that it's possible to add a footer to the capture, where you can specify your text of choice.
For instance, this is the command I ran fswebcam with:
$ fswebcam -r 640x480 -S 15 --flip h --jpeg 95 --shadow --title "SLB Labs" --subtitle "Home" --info "Monitor: Active @ 1 fpm" --save home.jpg -q -l 60
fswebcam is a small and simple webcam app for *nix. It can capture
images from a number of different sources and perform simple
manipulation on the captured image. The image can be saved as one or
more PNG or JPEG files.
The PNG or JPEG image can be sent to stdio using the filename "-". The
output filename is formatted by strftime.

Party time as the wine flows and tears fall
Page Tools
Crown Prince Frederik and his bride, Crown Princess Mary, share a lighter moment after the ceremony.
Photo:Julian Andrews
As the bride and groom said their vows, Melburnians celebrated. Renee Barnes, John Elder and Kate Hagan report.
More than the herring was pickled at the Danish Club in Middle Park on Friday night, as about 500 descendants of the Vikings partied hard on champagne and glogg - as their Prince and Princess said their vows on two big television screens.
The suds were soaked up with kranse kage (a traditional cake) and dark rye bread - while tissues and hankies grew soggy with tears.
The union thrilled revellers. Melburnian Paula Harrison said she felt as if she was viewing an important moment in history.
For Hobart expatriate Rowena, 25, the wedding was a boost to her self-esteem. "It's a proud night," she said. "It's good to see a Tassie girl up there in royalty. You get ridiculed for being a Tasmanian - and to have 'one up' on them for once is great."
Meanwhile, about 150 Melburnians braved the cold to witness the making of an Australian princess on the big screen at Federation Square late on Friday night, having laid blankets on the concrete to make themselves cozy.
Mary arrived at Copenhagen Cathedral as the Flinders Street clock struck midnight to a big collective sigh - and suddenly people were pouring out of nearby bars to join the huddled scene in the square.
The prince brought up a bigger sigh - and even a few goose bumps - when a tear plopped on to his cheek as Mary arrived at his side in front of the altar.
Among the cooing crowd were Julie Smith, 26, of Glenroy, and friend Julie Tillyer, 28, of Southbank - who brought a touch of class to the event by donning twin tiaras picked up at Big W earlier in the day.
Waving the flag for Denmark were Ingrid Tiltman and her 24-year-old daughter Susy, who travelled from Lilydale to be part of the excitement. Mrs Tiltman, whose parents migrated to Australia from Denmark in 1946, was one of the few people in the crowd able to translate the Danish words on screen before the official commentator.
Diana Hallett and Inez Chambers of Croydon, daughters in tow, reminisced about the wedding of Diana to Prince Charles and hoped for better luck for the Danish couple.
Yesterday morning, the Danish Club reassembled at Federation Square - where they put on horned Viking helmets, set out a smorgasbord - 800 plates of salmon, pork, herring were sold - and stood to watch a Danish-language documentary about Mary.
There was also a Viking show - made up of local historical re-enactment enthusiasts. No Danes among them.
