Rethinking Macroeconomics
By Jeffrey Sachs
Capitalism and Society
Volume 4, Issue 3 2009 Article 3
The crash of 2008 exposed deep failures at the core of macroeconomic policymaking and macroeconomic thinking in the United States. The crisis's rapid spread from its epicenter on Wall Street to nearly the entire world underscored the interconnectedness of the global economy. The American purveyors of the ancien régime hope that a few superficial fixes will get us back on our way. This is not to be. Sustained and widespread future prosperity will require basic reforms in global macroeconomic governance and in macroeconomic science. Such reforms are never easy, as they require new ways of thinking. Yet business as usual could prove calamitous. This essay describes the reform path…

My husband just completed his pre-nursing core coursework for the LPN program. Our understanding is he has to get accepted into the next phase. His school is so competitive that 2 admission cycles later he is still waiting to be accepted. He has a 3.6 and made above average scores on his test. I'm at a loss for what advice to give him. Is this normal? Should he have picked a different school? Should he apply to several different programs? Neither of us knew it would be this complicated. I thought he could just take the courses, sit for the final exam and become an LPN. Now we are wondering how long we will have to wait so he continue to the next phase of the program. Any advice would be helpful.

Every nursing program has an application process. However some are more competitive than others. In my area it is fairly easy to get accepted into the trade schools and more competitive to get into a community college. The difference in price is about 3-4 times more at the trade school. With the economy now, more people than ever are turning to the medical professions for more stability. I'm sorry you didn't realize the process does not include a guaranteed spot into the nursing program. However it sounds like he has a high GPA and good scores on the entrance test so hopefully he will get in. He could try applying to other schools and/or continue taking prerequisites maybe for an RN program while he is waiting to get in. If he doesn't have his CNA cert. yet he could get it and start working if he has to wait. He will get some good experience and possibly help him get a job when he graduates nursing school.

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/025,649 entitled "Reduced Hard-drive-capacity detection Device," filed Feb. 1, 2008, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to hard-drive-capacity detection devices, and more specifically to a bridge device that is configured to connect to a stand-alone hard drive, such as a disk hard drive, not resident in a stand-alone computer or which may be used to connect such an external hard drive to a host computer via a non-native bus, and which detects reduced accessible capacity in the external drive.
Host-computer-based programs that allow a user to detect and/or modify a Host Protected Area ("HPA") or a Device Configuration Overlay ("DCO") table on the host-computer native or resident hard drive are known. These programs allow a user to effectively reduce the accessible capacity of the hard drive. The accessible capacity of a hard drive, which also may be referred to as the native capacity, is that portion of the full capacity of the hard drive (i.e., the factory default capacity of the hard drive) that is accessible to an operating system of the host computer in which the hard drive is resident or to which the hard drive may be connected. After the program(s) is/are executed to modify the HPA or DCO, the host-computer operating system cannot access a portion of the memory space in the hard drive. That portion of the hard drive is effectively "hidden" from the operating system.
Before the program is executed to reduce the available accessible capacity on the hard drive, data may be written to the area of the hard drive that is rendered inaccessible by the program. Data written to the inaccessible portion of the hard drive is also hidden from the operating system. Although the data is hidden from the operating system, it is still stored on the hard drive.
Software programs that are able to detect HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity are known in the art. However, known software programs designed to detect HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity are resident and executed on a host computer and do not work with all hard drives. Examples of native buses include Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) or Serial AT Attachment (SATA) bus. External hard drives connected to the host computer via non-native buses are problematic for current detection programs. For example, known software programs cannot detect reduced accessible capacity when the external hard drive is connected to the host computer via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or IEEE 1393—FireWire™. Thus, many external hard drives must be internally mounted to the host computer via the native buses in order for known detection programs to function properly, which is often time-consuming and inefficient.
Detection of HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity in hard drives may be important during computer forensic investigation. For example, data that is important to an investigation may be stored on the portion of the hard drive that cannot be accessed by the operating system due to HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity. When an image of the hard drive is taken for analysis, the data stored on the inaccessible portion of the hard drive may not be captured in the image. Thus, to perform a complete and effective forensic analysis of the hard drive, it may be useful for the investigator to be able to know if there is HPA and/or DCO reduced hard-drive capacity.
The detailed description that follows is presented largely in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operation of data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. It may be preferred to implement and describe a program as various interconnected distinct software modules or features. This is not necessary, as software, firmware, and hardware may be configured many different ways, and may be aggregated into a single processor and program with unclear boundaries.
An algorithm is generally considered to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps require physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. When stored, they can be stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. When stored, they may be stored in any computer-readable medium. As a convention, these signals may be referred to as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, images, terms, numbers, or the like. These and similar terms may be associated with appropriate physical quantities and are convenient labels applied to these quantities.
The present disclosure also relates to apparatus for performing these operations. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes or it may comprise a general-purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer or other apparatus. In particular, various general purpose machines may be used with programs in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove more convenient to construct more specialized apparatus to perform the required method steps. The required structure for a variety of these machines will appear from the description given below.
It should be clear to a person skilled in the art that a program embodying the disclosed methods need not reside in a single memory, or even a single machine. Various portions, modules or features of it can reside in separate memories, or even separate machines. The separate machines may be connected directly, or through a network, such as a local access network (LAN), or a global network, such as what is presently known as Internet-1. Similarly, the users need not be collocated with each other, but each only with a machine that houses a portion of the program.
With reference now to
Hard drive connection mechanism 11 may be configured to connect device 10 to an external hard drive 26. Additionally, connection mechanism 11 may permit device 10 to communicate with hard drive 26 coupled via a communication link 12 connected to the hard drive mechanism 11. For example, hard drive connection mechanism 11 may be a communication port 13 operably coupled between bridge 14 and communication link 12. Alternatively, connection mechanism 11 may include a connection link 12, such as a cable or other wired or wireless means of communication compatible with hard drive connection mechanism 11 and hard drive 26.
Connection mechanism may be coupled to a hard drive that supports appropriate hard-drive commands, such as the commands discussed below, to permit detection of reduced capacity. Examples of hard drives that may be connected to device 10 via connection mechanism 11 include hard drives of the following types: 2.5″ ATAPI, 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA, 2.5″ or 3.5″ IDE, 1.8″ Toshiba™, 1.8″ Hitachi™, MicroDrive, or PCMCIA. As used herein a hard drive may be any form of computer memory providing permanent storage. Once hard drive 26 is coupled to device 10 via connection mechanism 11, device 10 may communicate with hard drive 26.
Connection mechanism 11 may be coupled to bridge 14. Bridge 14 may be any device that communicates with a hard drive coupled to it via the hard-drive connection mechanism, and may include, for example, a disk controller 28, a processor 30, and a memory 32 coupled to processor 30 for storing data and operating instructions. Bridge 14 may be of a type known in the art, such as one of the Oxford Semiconductor™ 936, 934, 924, 922, or 911+ bridge chips.
Processor 30 may be any device, such as a computer, microprocessor, or other logical unit adapted to execute operating instructions. Operating instructions may be embodied as hardware, software, or firmware. When device 10 is connected to hard drive 26 via connection mechanism 11 as described above, bridge 14 may communicate with hard drive 26. For example, bridge 14 may send instructions to and receive data from hard drive 26. Processor 30 may execute only instructions stored in memory 32.
In an exemplary embodiment, controller 28 may communicate commands or instructions configured to parse data from hard drive 26 coupled to device 10 to detect HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity in hard drive 26. In such an embodiment, bridge 14 may be "write blocked" i.e., programmed to prohibit writing or otherwise changing the data on the hard drive as data is parsed. An example of a process capable of detecting HPA and/or DCO reduced accessible capacity in hard drive 26 is discussed in detail below with reference to
Device 10 may connect to an independent (stand-alone or self-contained) computer 34 via communication link 36 or any mechanism connectable to communication link 36. Optionally, device 10 may include communication link 36 in connection mechanism 16. For example, communication link 36 may be operatively connected to device 10 at computer connection mechanism 16, which may be a communication port 38 operably coupled to bridge 14. Correspondingly, bridge 14 may transmit data to or receive data from independent computer 34 when communication link 36 is connected between the independent computer and computer connection mechanism 16. For example, data stored in hard drive 26 coupled to device 10 via connection mechanism 11 may be transferred by bridge 14 to the independent computer via computer connection mechanism 16. Exemplary computer communication ports that may function as computer connection mechanism 16 include a Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 port or an IEEE 1394a/b port ("FireWire™ port"). Communication link 36 may be a cable 40 or other wired or wireless means of communication compatible with bridge 14 and computer 34, and if appropriate computer connection mechanism 16. For example, a USB or FireWire™ 400 or 800 cable may connect device 10 to the computer to facilitate communication.
Device 10 may include one or more indicators 18 to indicate the status of device 10. Exemplary indicators include a data bit communicated to computer 34, and/or visible, audio, tactile, or other sensory outputs. For example, visible indicators 18, such as one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs), may be devices coupled to bridge 14 to show to the user that device 10 is receiving power, power is being output to a hard drive 26 coupled to device 10, computer connection mechanism 16 is active, controller 28 has activated the "write block" function, and/or the hard drive coupled to device 10 is active. Device 10 may also include an indicator 18 to exhibit that bridge 14 has encountered an error or has detected reduced accessible capacity in a coupled hard drive. Indicators 18 may indicate multiple conditions and may have one or more modes, values, or other operating states, such as on/off and slow/fast blink conditions, to indicate multiple items of information. Each indicator operating state may indicate different information in relation to the operation of bridge 14. Indicators 18 may function while a host computer 34 and a hard drive 26 is operatively connected to device 10, or when only a hard drive 26 is connected to device 10.
Device 10 may be electrically charged by any suitable power source 20. Examples of power sources 20 include an AC-to-DC adapter and a 4-pin power adapter. Device 10 also may include an on/off power switch 24 to regulate power to the device. Power source 20 also may provide power to hard drive 26 coupled to device 10 through hard drive power connector 22. An example of a hard drive power connector 22 is a pin-and-socket connector, such as a Molex™ power connector.
After hard drive 26 has been initialized, device 10 may begin parsing information from hard drive 26 at step 104. This may be achieved by using instructions programmed in controller 28. An example of such an instruction is the "IDENTIFY DEVICE" command, which may return the accessible capacity of hard drive 26. However, the "IDENTIFY DEVICE" command data parsing may be modified to include detection of support for HPA and/or DCO reduced capacity functions. For example, instructions may be programmed into controller 28 to facilitate detection of reduced hard-drive capacity. Such instructions may be programmed according to the ATA/ATAPI-7 V1 standard.
At step 106, controller 28 may execute programmed instructions to determine whether hard drive 26 supports HPA. If the hard drive does not support HPA, device 10 has determined that the hard-drive accessible capacity is not reduced due to modification of the HPA. In that case, the detection process skips forward to detection of DCO reduced accessible capacity, which is described below with reference to
However, if controller 28 detects that the coupled hard drive does support HPA, programmed instructions are executed to determine whether hard drive 26 supports 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) at step 108. If hard drive 26 does not support 48-bit LBA, then the detection process 100 continues at "A" in
Moving now to "B" in
If no error is returned during performance of the processes described following flow connectors "A" or "B", then controller 28 received the maximum native capacity of hard drive (i.e., the maximum native capacity was returned to controller 28 in response to execution of the "READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS" or "READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS EXT"). As indicated at step 118, the maximum native capacity may be derived from the hard drive data.
Next, as shown at step 120, controller 28 compares the accessible capacity and maximum native capacity. If they are equal, then hard drive 26 does not have HPA reduced capacity, and detection process 100 continues to "C". If, however, the hard drive and native capacities are not equal, then device 10 has determined that hard drive 26 has HPA reduced capacity, and further analysis must be conducted on the hard drive to derive all of the "hidden" data. As shown at step 122, controller 28 may direct indicator 18 to provide a corresponding sensory output. Controller 28 then may continue to determine whether hard drive 26 has DCO reduced capacity at "C".
Controller 28 may execute appropriate instructions to determine whether hard drive 26 supports DCO, at step 126. For example, controller 28 may execute the "DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY" command. As shown at step 128, if an error is returned to controller 28 upon execution of the instruction, then, as shown at step 130, controller 28 may set indicator 18 to provide a corresponding sensory output. Controller 28 may thereafter execute any other instructions programmed therein, as shown at step 138, or may halt device 10. However, if controller 28 does not encounter an error, the DCO factory default disk capacity of hard drive 26 may be returned, as shown at step 132. This value may be determined from data within hard drive 26.
At step 134, controller 28 may compare the DCO factory default capacity to either the (1) native capacity of the hard drive if HPA is supported by the hard drive; or (2) the accessible capacity of the hard drive if HPA is not supported. If controller 28 determines the DCO factory default capacity is not equal to (specifically, greater than) the properly compared capacity, then controller 28 has detected that hard drive 26 has DCO reduced capacity. At step 136, controller 28 sets indicator 18 to provide the appropriate sensory output. However, if the DCO factory default capacity is determined to be equal to the properly compared capacity at step 134, then controller 28 failed to detect DCO reduced capacity.
If device 10 detects reduced capacity in hard drive 26, then an investigator may take further steps to derive all of the information from the hard drive. Whether the hard drive does or does not have reduced capacity, controller 28 may continue to execute any additional programmed instructions as shown at step 138.

|Weebl and May feat. Brian Blessed - Save the Badger Badger
|CD released: 30th September 2013 Download available from: 30th September 2013
|Released by: Duck Productions
Seems the great British public are rushing to respond to Queen guitarist Brian May's cry for the public to "Save the Badgers" and support his continuing battle to prevent our countryside badgers from mass slaughter after the Government finally gave the go-ahead to farmers in West Somerset to start the cull of these much loved creatures.
In the week which has seen the start of the first badger cull pilot trial, May's music track 'Save the Badger Badger' recorded with YouTube
sensation Weebl and featuring the thunderous tones of actor Brian Blessed, stormed the charts with its 'badger...badger...badger' chant.
The track has already reached No.1 on the iTunes Top 10 Rock Chart, and leapt over 100 places on the iTunes Download Charts in just twenty four hours, crashing into the Top 40 at number 38 position, up from a position of 154.
Says Brian May: "The British people are speaking in their many thousands, and yet the Government is refusing to listen. We thank them for buying this track and giving the badgers a voice. Let's get this to No.1 so Cameron cannot avoid it. This cull is unscientific, unethical and won't work. The government is set to murder 5,000 badgers and yet all the peer reviewed scientific evidence shows that the answer to the problem of bovine TB in cattle does not lie in this slaughter and that this action will be ineffective and potentially damaging to the welfare of both farm animals and wildlife. It is shocking that the NFU and the Government have been allowed to continue with a politically led policy with no basis in science against the will of the people. Badgers Rock!"
More than 2,000 badgers are lined up to be shot in the trial in west Somerset district in the next six weeks. Farmers in west Gloucestershire are also granted permission to take part in the trial culls which could take the number of badgers wiped out to as many as 5,000.
May's anti-cull e-petition has already gathered over 286,000 signatures making it the making it most signed petition of all time on the official Government website. The petition closes September 7
The "Save The Badger Badger Badger" track by Brian May and Weeble, with the voice of Brian Blessed, can be downloaded at iTunes - click here.
Actor Brian Blessed who gave his voice to the track said: "A Life of two Brian's. Brian May is absolutely inspirational and together we will beat the dark forces and save the badgers"!

Earlier this week I wrote about Empty State. I wanted to follow this up with a case study on how this might work on an example.
I'm going to base this example around an imaginary website. I've called it Fotolio, it's a portfolio site for photographers to upload their photos. Imaginative names aside, I want to stress the below isn't really how I'd design this kind of site, it's a forced example to help illustrate the point. However, it is fairly representative of 100s of web applications out there:
So, Fotolio has 2 features:
- You can create albums to organise your photos
- You can upload photos to albums. Photos must live in an album
That's all it does (well there's some user profile stuff too – but it's completely imaginary so it can do what ever you want!)
So, let's look at a mock-up of how it would look fully populated:
There's albums, a list of photos – once a user has got to this point they will have a good grasp of how to use the software. By this time it will be obvious that they go to the manage albums tab to create a new album; it will be obvious that they then go to the upload pictures tab, select the album then start uploading.
This is the state that the developer and other internal people will likely have the software. There is already content in there, they have context. If you can see other content in context you can link things all up in your head – it's pretty powerful stuff. Without this you are left guessing. So, how might this app look to a new user in its empty state?:
Here we've just got empty lists, the system is outputting something meaningful e.g. "You have 0 Albums" so that's a good start, but where do we go from here? Is it obvious what to do next? Let's use the process I outlined on Monday. What does the user need to do to start using the software:
- Create an album – this involves:
- Switch to the Manage Albums Tab
- Click the New Album Button
- Complete the details and click save
- Start uploading photos – this involves:
- Switch to the upload pictures tab
- Select the album they want to upload against
- Upload their photos
So, we expect the user to know that's the steps. However, is that obvious? No not really – there is nothing to stop the user blindly going and straight to the upload pictures tab to be stopped in their tracks when there isn't an album for them to select. Granted, this is hardly the end of the world, but you've just slowed them down. They've now got to back track and create an album. Grrr.
So what can we do to improve things?
A small improvement
You don't have to make major changes to your application in order to have a big difference on its usability. All we want to do is give the user a hint to suggest what to do next. A simple quick fix could be the following:
Here we've added 2 buttons to the front page. The button for creating a new album is shown immediately below the empty list – this creates a visual grouping between the empty list and the means to add items to it. We've also introduced the dependency between the albums and the pictures – the upload pictures button is disabled and re-labelled to instruct them to create an album first.
This isn't a major change, a few minutes work. But we are giving the user a crucial pointer as to what they need to do to next.
A bigger improvement
But let's go further. This is our first impression – let's make it a good one. Let's hold the user's hand, guide them through the process. We'll do away with the empty list altogether and replace it with some instructions. They can't upload photos until they've created an album so let's remove all mention of it. We'll even include a screencast showing them how to do it:
Great, the user is left in no uncertain terms as to what they need to do next. We can now go even further; we can progressively introduce the interface – the user now has an album so we'll show that control; but they haven't got any photos yet – at the position where their photos would be we can show them some further instructions:
The above approach progressively replaces instructions on how to create content with the actual content itself. The user sees one of two things 1) Their content or 2) Instructions on how to create it. This makes it easy for them to get up and running.
Granted this is a fairly trivial example, but it should be evident that as applications get more and more features it becomes harder and harder to join up the dots. You don't need to go to the extent suggested above, but you should take steps to ensure that a user always knows what they need to do next.

I had Botox under my eyes 2 weeks ago. I have raised lines under my eyes and they appear very puffy. (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Botox around the Eyes
Botox is a great injection for the Crow's feet which are the small lines of movement around the eyes. Botox does not work very well in the area under the eye. Without seeing your "before" photo it is difficult to give you a real opinion but it does look swollen. I would suggest you return to your treating physician and if they cannot help you consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist.

More pronounced crow's feet after botox injection
The puffiness under the eye may be caused by relaxation of the muscle under the eye due to the botox injection which may have allowed the puffing out of the fat pads.
This usually improves as the effect of the botox wears off.
The static lines under the eyes can be improved by laser resurfacing or chemical peel.

Dykmann Named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year
Dykmann Named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year
May 7, 2014MANHATTAN, KAN. – Noelle Dykmann, a mainstay and the lone freshman on K-State's 1st Varsity 8 this season, was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year by the league's coaches earlier today, becoming the first-ever K-State rower to earn the prestigious honor.
"I'm extremely honored to receive this award," Dykmann said. "I'm thankful for the opportunity to be on this team and learn this sport, and also for the other athletes in my boat for accepting me and helping me to push harder every day."
Rowing alongside Meggie Murray, Lisa Angell, Brittany Long, Allison Dorau, Ashley Houser, Erin Roeser, Madi Haney and coxswain Hillary Schartz, Dykmann has helped the Wildcat rowing program to several firsts. In its latest effort, the 1V8 helped K-State to a second place finish at the Big 12 Championship, its highest ever finish at the regatta since it became conference-sponsored three years ago.
She has matched that success on the water in the classroom as well, being named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team and Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll.
Head coach Patrick Sweeney said the honor is well-deserved for the freshman rower.
"Noelle is really deserving of this award," said Sweeney. "She came onto the team with absolutely no rowing experience, and in a short time span has managed to use her natural athletic abilities and good work ethic to earn her way onto the 1st Varsity 8."
Sweeney added that Dykmann's dedication and subsequent success has been a great example for the team, as well as the program as a whole.
"Noelle has also shown herself to be an exemplary teammate, vesting interest in the team as a whole, and she has provided a great example for all of our incoming athletes," Sweeney said.
A native of Lenexa, Kan., Dykmann joined the Wildcats this year out of St. James Academy, where she competed in volleyball and basketball. She started the fall portion of the rowing season on the Novice crews, before joining the 1V8 permanently at the beginning of the spring season. Along with a strong showing at Big 12s, the freshman has been a part of a 1V8 that has been named Boat of the Week twice by the Big 12 and once by Conference USA.
Dykmann, along with the rest of the Wildcat rowers, will close out their 2014 campaign in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at the Conference USA Championships on May 17.

Assistant Director of Health Clay Goddard has been named to a cohort of state, tribal and local public health representatives in an eight-month training and technical assistance program on mental health and substance abuse.
Only 40 people in the country are selected for the Behavioral Health Training and Technical Assistance program from the National Council for Behavioral Health, which offers virtual and in-person training over an eight-month timeframe for public health professionals to better understand and address mental health and substance abuse challenges, as well as access to newsletters, toolkits and relevant research findings.
In April, Goddard will attend an in-depth, two-day training as part of the program, followed by the annual conference of the National Council for Behavioral Health.
"I'm most looking forward to talking with our peers about our common challenges and ways in which we can collectively help our communities better understand mental health and substance abuse issues," Goddard said.
Based on health data evidence and a growing community call to action, this opportunity follows a push by the Springfield-Greene County Health Department to better understand mental health and substance abuse in our area. Mental Health and Substance Abuse is one of three top health priorities targeted in our Community Health Improvement Plan.
The Healthy Living Alliance, a community organization aimed to make healthier living a priority in Springfield by bringing together representatives from local business, government, nonprofit and healthcare industries, has taken leadership on the Community Health Improvement Plan and is leading the way in implementing strategies to improve Springfield and surrounding communities' health.

This invention relates to an automatic injecting gun for remote controlled vaccination of cattle, pigs, and animals in general.
As is known, both animals bred on free grazing and in stable booths are subjected to periodic vaccination to prevent the insurgence of deseases.
This operation is often quite difficult to carry out, because animals tend to react in a threatening manner both to the presence of a foreign person (veterinarian) and to the introduction of a needle in their bodies.
Thus, it becomes necessary to keep the operator at a distance from the animal such as to remain out of its range.
Prior art techniques solve this problem by providing syringe extensions which, however, are not entirely successful either on accunt of their being awckward to handle or not ensuring a safe distance from the animal patient.
It is the technical task whereon this invention is based to provide an injecting gun that is practical and easy to operate, that operates automatically, and that is so designed as to afford at all times a safe distance of the operator from the animal.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide such a device which may be quickly and easily reloaded, such as to allow for a rapid sequence of operations as required when the animals are in a free state.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a device, which is adjustable and wherein the amount of liquid to be injected can be easily predetermined according to the type of product being used and to the size of the animals to be vaccinated.
A not unimportant object of this invention is to provide an injecting gun which of simple construction as regards its basic components, and thus easy to clean and maintain.
The aforesaid task and objects are achieved, according to this invention, by an automatic injecting gun for remote controlled vaccination of cattle, pigs, and animals in general, characterized in that it comprises a gun body having a handle member an adjustable injector accommodated in said gun body and adapted to draw liquid from a multidose container and to discharge said liquid under control, a tubular duct including plural adjoinable sections and having an end engaging said injector and another end projecting from said gun body, and an injection needle removably inserted on said other end of said tubular duct not engaged with said injector, and a lever means adapted to load said injector against an elastic means effective to instantaneously discharge said injector under control by an operator.
Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, where:
FIG. 1 is a perspective general view of the gun body according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the component parts of the inventive gun;
FIG. 3 is a partly exploded perspective view of the mechanism contained in the gun body;
FIG. 4 is a partly sectional exploded perspective view of the termination of the tubular duct for the needle and needle guard;
FIG. 5 shows in perspective, partly in section, the plunger portion of the injector; and
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the operation of some components of the inventive injecting gun.
With reference to the cited figures of the drawings, the gun body shown generally in FIG. 1 comprises an upper box-like portion 1 which is associated with a handle 2. In this embodiment the gun body is made up of two substantially similar shells 3 and 4, which are cast in a light and strong metal alloy such as magnesium aluminum, surface treated with an anodizing process.
Such two shells 3 and 4 are held together by a plurality of fastening capscrews 5 penetrating them and being arranged along the periphery of said gun body.
At their fronts, the two shells 3 and 4 have each a hemicylindrical lug which, upon matching the two shells together, produce a hollow cylindrical front fitting, inside threaded, indicated at 6.
Similarly, a hollow cylindrical rear fitting 7 projects rearwardly, which is also internally threaded and arranged to lay along the same axis as the front fitting 6.
These two fittings, 6 and 7, are useful for connecting other components of the invention, as will be explained hereinafter.
From the outer side of the shell 3, and more specifically from the right-hand side thereof as viewed by an operator holding the gun, of said box-like portion 1 there extends outwardly a shaft 8 which, as discussed hereinafter, is linked to internal mechanical parts and whereto is secured a loading lever 9 by means of a clamp hub 10.
Said lever 9 is located and movable in a plane perpendicular to said shaft 8.
Into the threaded bore of said front fitting 6 an injector assembly is screwed comprising a hollow cylindrical body or member 11, which is provided externally, at its end next to the gun body, with a flange 12 with segments thereof removed to accomodate a tightening wrench; successively from said flange 12, said cylinder member or body has a first threaded area 13 of a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 11--which is intended to threadably engage auxiliary elongation members such as a tubular duct indicated at 14 in FIG. 2--a second threaded area 15 having an outer diameter smaller than said cylindrical body 11, whereto a needle clamping sleeve, indicated at 16 in FIG. 4, will be threadably engaged, and finally a frustum-like lug 17 which is internally bored and serves as a matching seat for an injection needle, indicated at 18 in FIG. 4. Screw threads 13 and 15 constitute connector means for the needle means and the auxiliary elongation members.
As visible from the drawing the cylindrical member or body 11 has a cylinder cavity with an open and facing the inside of the box-like gun body 1.
The tubular duct 14, as shown in FIG. 2, comprises plural adjoinable sections 14a, each such sections being defined by a barrel 19 (FIG. 4) having an internally threaded end for threadably engaging said first threaded area 13, while the other end exactly mates the shape and threads of the cylindrical body 11, thereby it becomes possible to assemble any number of sections 14a together (FIG. 2) to obtain a predetermined operative distance for safe use.
The barrels 19, which also act as mechanical support members, accomodate a small tube 20 of a non-rigid plastic material serving as the delivery duct for the vaccinating liquid. At the front said small tube ends in a second frustum-like lug 17a (corresponding to the first frustum-like lug 17 of the cylindrical body 11), and at the other end in a hollow body, not shown, matching the lug 17.
Therefore, when an adjoinable section 14a is fully screwed in, a mechanical support through the barrel 19 and hydraulic continuity through the small tube 20 are provided up to the source of vaccination liquid 31 as will be described later.
When the gun is not in use, provision is made for a cap 44, which screws on similar to an extension barrel and acts as a needle guard or protection.
The hollow cylinder 11 contains a bored plunger 22 provided with two sealing O-rings 23 and having a head portion and a plunger cavity.
The plunger 22 extends in a hollow stem 24 which runs along the entire length of the box-like body 1 and exits said cylindrical fitting 7.
The hollow stem 24 includes an intermediate threaded area 25, whereon is inserted a metal block 26, the latter being provided with a position reference pointer 27 and, at its area extending out of the cylindrical fitting 7, with an adjusting nut 28, the rotation of which controls the positioning of the block 26.
The hollow stem 24 ends in a hose fitting 29 whereon a hose 30 is inserted which draws from a reservoir 31 containing the vaccine to be injected.
Within the plunger 22, in the head portion thereof there is provided a check valve 22a which opens as the plunger is withdrawn to allow liquid into the cylindrical body 11. A first check valve 32 is located at the top of said cylindrical body in the cylinder cavity thereof and opens as the plunger is moved forward, i.e. during the injection step.
Between the first and the second check valves 32 and 22a a cylinder chamber is delimited in the cylinder cavity of the cylinder member 11.
The plunger movements are achieved by rechargeable springed release means in the form of articulated spring loaded lever means, illustrated in FIG. 3: as described, said lever 9 is locked onto a shaft 8 which is rigid, on the inside, with a plate 33 formed with a bent projection 34 which interferes, in its movement, with an "L" shaped lever 35, which at one end is connected to a load spring 36 that is adjustable by means of an adjusting screw 37 projecting out of the grip 2, and at the other end is connected to the block 26 through a return plate 38. Said plate 33 is biassed to return to a rest or inoperative position by a tension spring 39 acting between that plate and an anchor pin 40 formed on the shell 3.
Provision is also made for an actuating trigger means 42 formed comprising a trigger lever 42' and a trigger bar 42" with a notch 41 adapted to engage the block 26 owing to the trigger bar 42" being biassed by a spring 43.
The injecting gun according to this invention operates in the following manner.
Before using it, the gun is adjusted such that the amount of liquid injected is proportioned to the type of product being used and the size of the animals to be vaccinated. This is obtained by turning the adjusting nut 28, and accordingly the hollow stem 24 which, by virtue of its intermediate threaded area 25, displaces the block 26 to a position closer to or farther from the notch 41 of the trigger 42. Thus, the plunger stroke length is reduced or increased since, while the forward travel limit of the plunger 22 remains fixed as defined by the head of the cylindrical body 11, its rearward travel limit is displaced depending on the distance of the block 26 from the notch 41.
From the foregoing it will be understood that the block 26 and the notch 41 operate as adjustable limit stop means for the plunger 22 and the trigger bar 42" and its notch 41 define stop surface means.
Once the stroke of the plunger 22 has been adjusted, and thus the amount of liquid that can be injected, as visually indicated by the position reference pointer 27, the load spring 36 may be adjusted, if required, through the adjusting screw 37, such as to vary the force and ejection velocity of the liquid as a function of the viscosity, amount and type of the liquid.
The injecting gun is then loaded by operating the loading lever 9; the plate 33, being rigid with the shaft 8 of the lever 9, rotates and interferes through its bent projection 34 with the "L" shaped lever 35, which is in turn rotated to put under tension the load spring 36 and concurrently withdraw the block 26, hollow stem 24 and plunger 22. Thus, a suction effect is created within the cylindrical body 11 which causes the second check valve 32 to close and the check valve 22a to open, therefore permitting the liquid to flow from the reservoir 31, through the hose 30, hollow stem 24, and plunger 22. In its rearward movement, the block 26 inserts itself in the notch 41 owing to the trigger 42 being recalled by the spring 43. In this position, the device is loaded and ready for use. By depressing the trigger 42, the block 26 is disengaged from the notch 41, thereby the spring 36 causes the plunger 22 to move at high velocity and, owing to the pressure thus created, close the check valve 22a, open the check valve 32, and eject the liquid through the small tubes 20 and needle 18.
The invention fully achieves it objects. Noteworthy are, in fact, its convenience of operation and the absolute safety enjoyed by the operator who by adding or removing barrel sections is enabled to select the optimum operative distance. Furthermore, this injecting gun is easy to handle, quick in operation and adjustable with high accuracy.
As regards it construction materials, magnesium aluminum alloy is preferred for the barrels, and possibly for the gun body as well, while stainless steel is preferred for the plunger, passages and valves, such as lightweight and a good balance may be ensured, thanks to the low density of magnesium-aluminum alloy.
However, these materials, as well as others mentioned in the foregoing description, should not be construed in a restrictive sense. Moreover, all of the details may be substituted with other technically equivalent elements.

Way back in 1994 — two decades before his sci-fi-rom-com "Her" would snare an Oscar for best original screenplay — Spike Jonze was busy defining what new music should look like.
The young director's highly inventive music videos were fun, cool, hilarious, ubiquitous and massively influential — and his work with the Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, the Breeders and Weezer set the tone and feel for years of MTV to come. I remember hairball teenagers actually taking up golf after Jonze's video for Dinosaur Jr.'s "Feel the Pain" landed on "120 Minutes." And it only got bigger. In 1999, Jonze might have invented flash mobs with his video for Fatboy Slim's "Praise You."
Need a quick primer? Here are Jonze's 10 best music videos:
1. The Pharcyde, "Drop" (1996)
?emit lla fo oediv cisum tselooc eht siht sI.
2. Wax, "Califonia" (1995)
Music video as haiku.
3. Fatboy Slim, "Weapon of Choice" (2000)
It's a top-three Jonze video. Is it a top-three Christopher Walken role?
4. Bjork, "It's Oh So Quiet" (1995)
Why can't "Glee" be more like this?
5. Beastie Boys, "Sabotage" (1994)
Hip-hop legends truly having a blast.
6. Kanye West and Jay-Z, "Otis" (2011)
Hip-hop legends truly having a blast.
7. Weezer, "Sweater Song" (1995)
Jonze also directed Weezer's "Happy Days" mash-up clip for "Buddy Holly," but that one didn't have a slow-motion dog stampede.
8. The Breeders, "Cannonball" (1993)
In 1993, this is what rock-and-roll sounded like and looked like.
9. Velocity Girl, "I Can't Stop Smiling" (1994)
All ironic portrait sessions at Sears date back to this video from Washington's own Velocity Girl.
10. MC 900 Foot Jesus, "If I Only Had a Brain" (1994)
Perhaps the best example of how Jonze could make a lousy song seem really cool.

Parameter estimation error: a cautionary tale in computational finance
Popovic, Ray
MetadataShow full item record
We quantify the effects on contingent claim valuation of using an estimator for the volatility of a geometric Brownian motion (GBM) process. That is, we show what difficulties can arise when failing to account for estimation risk. Our working problem uses a direct estimator of volatility based on the sample standard deviation of increments from the underlying Brownian motion. After substituting into the GBM the direct volatility estimator for the true, but unknown, value of the parameter sigma, we derive the resulting marginal distribution of the approximated GBM. This allows us to derive post-estimation distributions and valuation formulae for an assortment of European contingent claims that are in accord with the basic properties of the underlying risk-neutral process. Next we extend our work to the contingent claim sensitivities associated with an assortment of European option portfolios that are based on the direct estimator of the volatility of the GBM process. Our approach to the option sensitivities - the Greeks - uses the likelihood function technique. This allows us to obtain computable results for the technically more-complicated formulae associated with our post-estimation process. We discuss an assortment of difficulties that can ensue when failing to account for estimation risk in valuation and hedging formulae.

New Toys
Staples had a shredder on sale yesterday for $29.00 (after rebate), so I got one. One of my long-term sabbatical plans is to get my filing cabinets cleaned out and organized -- there's stuff in there I literally haven't touched since we moved to Nevada thirteen years ago -- and that will include discarding ancient financial documents, so the shredder seems like a prudent investment.
Meanwhile, today the CrackBerry store had a one-day sale on the Tether program, which turns your BlackBerry into a mobile hotspot for your computer. This will be very helpful when I'm traveling with my netbook. You can connect the phone and computer via USB cable or Bluetooth, but Bluetooth eats up so much power that I'll be going the USB route. My Kindle recharging cable doubles as a USB. Very handy!
So I'm pleased. New gadgets are always fun, and now I won't have to worry about paying for internet access in hotels, airports, coffeeshops, etc. Unfortunately it won't do me any good on our Mexico cruise, since international roaming rates and cruise-ship roaming rates are both more than I want to pay, but it will be great the next time (for instance) we go to Hawai'i.
In writing news, today I talked to my editor about a new plot turn in the book. I was afraid it was too over the top, but he said it sounds workable. We had a nice chat. To my immense relief, he seems unconcerned about deadlines; his attitude is, "Give the book as much time as it needs." So I feel like I have a little more breathing room than I did before, although I still want to finish this project sooner rather than later.
Happy Winter Solstice, everyone! From now on, the days get longer! What a relief!

(The Hosting News) – On Tuesday Google revised its terms of service, clarifying that the company does in fact scan users private emails, a practice that has the company facing much scrutiny from privacy groups.
The changes state that Google analyzes incoming and outgoing emails, as well as emails stored on Google's servers, through an automated software service, The Guardian reports.
"We want our policies to be simple and easy for users to understand. These changes will give people even greater clarity and are based on feedback we've received over the last few months," said a Google spokeswoman.
The new policy scans users emails in order to customize search results and tailor advertisements.
"Our automated systems analyse your content (including emails) to provide you personally relevant product features, such as customized search results, tailored advertising, and spam and malware detection. This analysis occurs as the content is sent, received, and when it is stored," states the revised terms of service.
Google's last changed its terms of service last November.

I have known Johnathan Whitney for several years. I am very impressed with his honesty, and knowledge of the State of Florida Laws. He is an attorney who cares and will fight for you.
Posted by anonymous
I asked Mr Whitney to review the contract prior to selling my home. He explained to me and my relator that my seller financing required the preparation of a promissory note and mortgage- something the relator never mentioned. His attention to detail and knowledge saved me from a long and costly court battle based on defective documentation if the buyer defaulted in repayment.

UDI in the EU – A Preliminary Look
Product ID: 704854
- Duration: 90 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
Many companies offer their devices in the EU, so must comply with the EU UDI regulations. There are significant differences from the US system. While some details remain, there is sufficient information to allow companies to start planning. This webinar can help you prepare for this major aspect of the new EU regulations.
Bonus Material:
Participants will receive a PDF of the summary of UDI requirements in both the MDR and the IVDR.
Why Should You Attend:
The EU has made available the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) before the final versions come into effect. These regulations describe the EU approach for Unique Device Identification. The regulations raise many interesting issues as part of the implementation. For example, the regulations include the distribution chain in UDI. An Economic Operator includes the manufacturer, the importer and the distributor. Importers and distributors verify the manufacturer assigned a UDI. For some kinds of devices, the Economic Operator as well as Health Institutions must keep records of the UDIs they have supplied or received.
Production Identifiers identify the unit of device production and could include serial number, lot/batch number, Software identification, manufacturing date or expiration date. If the label has a lot number, serial number, software identification or an expiration date on the label, then it becomes part of UDI-PI. The manufacturing date does not have to be part of UDI-PI unless it is the only production identifier on the label.
The regulation has special consideration for specific device types such as implantable devices, procedure packs, configurable devices and software.
There is a database with twenty-two core data elements including device status (not placed on the market, recalled, Field Safety Corrective Action initiated), name and address of the manufacturer and if applicable, the authorized representative and the device risk class. The database structure and submissions methods are not yet available.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- Describe the role of UDI in the MDR and IVDR
- Explain the concept of an Economic Operator and the relationship to the UDI system
- Describe the label device label requirements associated with UDI
- Explain the EU database core elements
- Identify the requirements for specific device types
- Explain the ISO 13485:2016 requirements for UDI and how they might apply in the EU
Who Will Benefit:
- Regulatory Managers
- Design Engineers
- Product Managers
- Labeling Specialists

text: It has been a long time since I tried new makeup, but my momma visited the USA a few weeks ago and got me many things I wanted to try for a long time. One of the things I didn't ask for was this palette, so I was really surprised when she gave it to me and I couldn't be any more happy, as the huge Kat Von D fan and supporter I have been since her tattoo artist days. This is the Shade + Light Eye Contour Quad in Rust and I am in love with it.
