This invention relates to methods and systems for predicting the content level of components in materials, using the response spectra of the materials to near infrared radiation. The invention also relates to customer-based prediction methods and systems, including methods and systems that are adapted to provide prediction reports for selected materials.
Materials such as animal feeds, feedstuffs, and pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions contain a variety of components. In the animal feed industry, for example, an animal feed may contain protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, among other things. In the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, compositions can contain one or more active ingredients together with various excipients and additives. Control and monitoring of the composition of such materials has a number of advantages. For example, proper control over the nutrient composition of animal feeds assists in the healthy and efficient growth of the animals. Likewise, monitoring the composition of pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions over time, for instance during storage, assists in evaluating the stability of the materials.
At least in the animal feed industry, raw materials for use in feeds can vary significantly in composition. In fact, the content level of any given component in a material typically varies within certain tolerance limits about an average value among different samples of the material. Those variations render it difficult to include all desired levels of components in an animal's diet. One attempt at ensuring those desired levels includes assessing the natural variation of component levels in a material, and adding supplemental components to all batches of the material to achieve a guaranteed high level of the component. This technique does not reduce the natural variation in the component levels. Instead, it simply raises the average level of the component to a higher average level. Thus, some batches of the raw material will still contain less than needed levels of components. Other batches, on the other hand, will contain excess levels of component. In the case of excess nutrient in an animal feed, for example, that can lead to extra cost and higher levels of pollution in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus in the manure of animals fed those diets.
Another attempt at ensuring desired levels of components in animal feed involves measuring the levels of the component in batches of material, and either supplementing that level where necessary with additional components or directing the material into an application that can favorably use the material as it is. Success in such a process depends in large part on the accuracy and ease of the measurement of the component levels. The most favorable measurement is both accurate and fast. That applies as well to measurements in other industries, for example the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
One method of determining the content levels of components in materials is by physical examination or testing and quantification of the components of interest. In the field of feedstuffs, those techniques are referred to as "wet chemistry" or in vitro determinations. In vitro techniques may also determine compositions of pharmaceutical or cosmetic materials. Although accurate in determining certain component levels in materials, these techniques are time consuming.
Another method for measuring the content levels of components in materials involves predicting those levels based on the near infrared reflectance spectrum ("NIRS") of the materials. A material subjected to near infrared radiation will emit a response to the radiation, which may be plotted in the form of a spectrum. A regression technique may correlate a given response spectrum of a material to reference data such as a known content levels of a component in the material. The content level of the component in a new sample of material may then be predicted by obtaining the near infrared spectrum of the material and applying the relevant correlation.
Regression techniques like that described above can be used, for example, by a feed mill, to predict the protein, amino acid, moisture, fat, and ash contents of feedstuffs, as discussed in Van Kempen and Simmins, "Near-infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy in Precision Feed Formulation," J. Appl. Poultry Res., vol. 6, pp 471-475 (1997) and Van Kempen and Jackson, "NIRS May Provide Rapid Evaluation of Amino Acids," Feedstuffs (Dec. 2, 1996). Co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/471,420, filed on Dec. 23, 1999, also discusses a method of predicting the content level of vitamins in materials using a regression technique. The contents of the three above-cited documents are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. These techniques require an initial investment by the user to establish the appropriate database calibration between near infrared spectra of the materials and the content levels of components in the materials.
A service for amino acid predictions in raw materials using NIRS is discussed in AminoNews, vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 11-14 (December 2000), the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This service is described as requiring a period of a few days for analysis of the material of interest. That delay can include time for shipping samples of material to the service provider for analysis. Use of this service also involves an economic cost for shipping the materials, as well as possible delay and extra documentation for shipping materials through customs when mailing internationally. The calibration sets for this service are disclosed as generated using wet chemistry analysis correlated with near infrared spectra of the materials.
Methods and systems consistent with the principles of the invention predict the content level of components in materials. Such methods and systems can provide customers with information regarding the content level of components in the materials through electronic communication. For example, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, one embodiment of a method comprises:
Other embodiments of the invention include the exchange of the customer request and prediction report on a Web site or by electronic mail. Another embodiment of the invention includes a method and system for predicting the content levels of components in a feedstuff or animal feed. Other embodiments include a menu structure for selection of items by the customer in making a request, and a fee structure for payment by the customer for the predictions. Still other embodiments include uses of the predictions, such as in quality control and toxicity evaluation.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute part of this specification, illustrate various features and aspects of the invention and, together with the text of the specification, serve to explain various principles of the invention. The invention as claimed is not limited to embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
This invention relates to methods and systems for predicting the content levels of components in materials. The methods and systems allow for accurate and fast predictions based on analysis of the near infrared reflectance spectrum of the materials. Customers using the methods and systems receive predictions made with the benefit of a central database and, therefore, need not invest for themselves in creating their own individual spectra calibrations. Customers may also send their requests and receive prediction reports electronically, providing for fast and convenient analysis of the materials.
In accordance with the principles of the invention, one embodiment is a method that comprises:
The principles of the invention, including the noted method, may be applied to a wide array of materials. The "material" may be any substance that responds to near infrared radiation. For example, the material may be a feedstuff or an animal feed. Further example materials include cereal, corn, soybean cake, oleoproteinaceous flour, animal meal, animal byproduct, fish meal, cereal byproduct and silage corn. Other materials include pharmaceutical compositions, cosmetic compositions, and food articles for human consumption.
The "component" studied in the material includes any component whose content level can correlate with near infrared spectra of materials containing the component. For example, the component may be a nutrient. Further example components include protein, total or digestible amino acids, gross or metabolizable energy, total or retained phosphorous and silage corn. Further components include methionine, lysine, cystine, threonine, tryptophane, valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, histidine and arginine. Other components include toxins, such as mycotoxins, and impurities. Still other components include active or inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions. The determination of "content level" of the component may be expressed, for example, as a weight percent or in a number of parts such as parts per hundred, parts per thousand, or parts per million. The content level may also be zero, meaning that the material does not contain the component.
Referring to
Customer 110 may create the near infrared spectra using any appropriate NIRS equipment 120 for generating near infrared spectra of materials. Exemplary equipment includes scanning models marketed by Foss, Bran & Luebbe, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi, Perten, B�men and Zeiss. The customer itself may generate the spectrum from the material using NIRS equipment 120, or may instead send the material to a third party to scan the sample to a near infrared spectrum using NIRS. The third party may submit the spectrum and request on behalf of the customer, or may return the spectra to the customer for the customer to submit. The third party may also be the recipient of the prediction results, then forwarding the results to the customer.
Each of the components directly or indirectly connected to communication channel 130 may include appropriate hardware and/or devices for receiving and transmitting information or files through communication channel 130. For example, customer 110 may include a personal computer, a workstation or other devices capable of communicating via communication channel 130. The same is also true for analysis unit 140 and reporting unit 160. Communication software (such as a Web browser or an electronic mail application software) may also be provided in each of the components connected to communication channel 130.
The request from each customer 110 may include information relating to, for example, the spectrum, the file type of the spectrum, the material represented by the spectrum, the component to be analyzed, and the format of the prediction report desired. That information may be provided, for example, by customer selection of relevant items from one or more menu options provided to the customer.
The file type of the spectra from the customer may differ depending on the model of equipment used to produce the spectra. For example, files created by Foss equipment carry the designation ".nir," and files created by Bran & Luebbe equipment carry the designation ".spf." The calibrations present in the database may be based on, for example, a single file type, such as JCAMP, .nir or .spf. In order to perform the appropriate comparison of the spectra to the database, a customer spectra may be converted to the file type used in the calibrations. An .nir file may be converted to, for example, an international format such as JCAMP, which may then be converted, if desired, to an .spf file. Such file conversion may be performed, for example, by analysis unit 140.
The spectra received from customer 110 may also require a mathematical correction to standardize the NIRS equipment 120 used in generating the spectra with the spectra in database 150. Such a standardization can be performed, for example, upon first receipt of a spectra from a particular piece of equipment and periodically, for example every 12 to 18 months, in the future. The standardization may be executed, for example, by recording thirty-five reference spectra on the customer apparatus and on the "master" apparatus of database 150, and creating a standardization file which, when applied to the files of spectra coming from the customer, will convert the files to render them compatible with the database calibrations.
The spectrum received from the customer is then compared in analysis unit 140 to a calibration in database 150 that correlates known content levels of the component in other material to known near infrared reflectance spectra of the other material. The underlying calibrations in the database may be established in a number of ways, including the techniques discussed in Van Kempen and Simmins, "Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy in Precision Feed Formulation," J. Appl. Poultry Res., vol. 6, pp 471-475 (1997) and Van Kempen and Jackson, "NIRS May Provide Rapid Evaluation of Amino Acids," Feedstuffs (Dec. 2, 1996), and co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/471,420 discussed above. In accordance with the principles of the invention, the calibrations can be made by determining the relevant component levels in various different samples of a material, and correlating those known levels with the near infrared spectra of the materials. For example,
Database 150 may contain one or more different calibrations. The appropriate calibration may be selected based on the substance of the customer request. Database 150 may contain calibrations for any number of materials and any number of components whose content level is to be predicted. The database may contain calibrations based on prior in vitro measurements (such as measurements by wet chemistry) or in vivo measurements correlated with near infrared reflectance spectra of the relevant materials. The database may contain, for example, calibrations based on prior in vivo measurement for calibrations to predict, for example, content levels of digestible nutrients and metabolizable energy. The database calibrations may also be based on a wide variety of samples taken from geographically diverse regions, even of world-wide origin, and may contain calibrations of materials grown and produced in different seasons of the year.
Calibrations in database 150 may be specific to the category of material to be analyzed. For example, a database calibration of methionine content in soyabean meal to spectra of the material may be used in a prediction of methionine content in a sample of soyabean meal. A different calibration may likewise be used for predicting lysine content in the soyabean meal, or for predicting methionine content in corn. Alternatively, the database calibration may not be specific to the category of material to be analyzed, but still may nonetheless be useful for the prediction. For example, a general database calibration for methionine content may be used in a prediction of methionine content in a sample of any material.
Analysis unit 140 determines, in light of the customer request, the appropriate calibration to apply to the particular material and component to be analyzed. If more than one component content level is to be predicted, the analysis unit may select different calibrations for each determination and thus may perform multiple analyses using multiple calibrations. Upon selection of the appropriate calibrations, the comparison in analysis unit 140 of a given spectrum to the calibration may be performed, for example, by a computer-based platform, leading to a prediction of the content level of the component studied. Appropriate software for comparing a given spectra to a calibration and reaching the prediction is commercially available, such as from Bran & Luebbe and Foss.
The comparison of the spectra to the relevant calibration produces a prediction of the component level in the material. The prediction may also include an associated degree error in the prediction. That error may take into account, for example, error in the underlying data used to build the relevant calibration, and error associated with applying NIRS as a predictor of the composition of the material. The prediction may be expressed, for example, together with a particular confidence interval.
Once analysis unit 140 obtains the relevant prediction, a reporting unit 160 then reports the prediction results to customer 110 through communication channel 130. The communication to customer 110 may include wired or wireless technologies and/or public communication networks, such as the Internet or a public switched telephone network. For example, the report may be provided via a Web site or electronic mail.
Methods and systems of the invention consistent with the principles of the invention include, but are not limited to, fully automated methods and systems for providing service to a customer, wherein the receipt and processing of the customer request, and the analysis and reporting of results to the customer are performed without human involvement. The electronic exchange of information with the customer, together with an automated computer analysis of the spectrum and reporting of results, allows for fast determination and reporting of the prediction. Consistent with the principles of the invention, the report may be sent to the customer within, for example, 24 hours, or within 10 minutes of the customer request. An automated application of the appropriate calibration to the customer spectrum also allows for 24 hours access of the automated service to the customer.
Any information received or sent to the customer, or generated in the processing of the spectra, may be stored or later destroyed. For example, any such information may be stored in an information storage 170, for example by reporting unit 160. That information can be organized in any fashion, for example organized into sub-storage units specific to each customer. Such information may be made retrievable to the customer. Stored information may be retrievable by the customer on a Web site or otherwise upon request. Information that may be stored includes any customer requests, including spectra, and prediction reports. Other information that may be stored include the dates of particular requests, the status of any particular requests (in progress, complete, etc.) and the number of requests submitted within a certain period of time.
Stored information need not be available for retrieval by the customer. For example, information relating to the calibration set chosen for the prediction, or any record of mathematical corrections made to customer spectra, or details of file conversion of a customer's spectra, or other such technical information may be useful for storage and for retrieval but may not necessarily be of importance to the customer. Information concerning any fees charged to the customer for predictions may also be stored. As with all other information, any fee information may be accessible to the customer or may not be made accessible to the customer.
Other embodiments of the invention include opening a customer account for the customer who wishes to obtain NIRS predictions. Such a task could be performed, for example, by analysis unit 140 upon first receipt of a request from a given customer. The opening of the customer account may include, for example, providing the customer with identity and/or security passwords. The customer could use such passwords, for example, when making requests for predictions or accessing stored information relating to past requests.
The opening of a customer account may also require the customer to provide information about the customer itself.
Another embodiment of the invention is a fee structure for payment by the customer for the prediction service and reports. The fee may be based, for example, on an agreement with the customer to submit a certain minimum number of requests within a certain period of time. The fee may be charged, for example, on a quarterly basis per year based on an expected number of requests within each quarter. An agreement may be reached with the customer to submit a certain number of requests every quarter for a duration of several years, for example three years. A fixed fee may be charged to the customer every quarter, for example at the beginning of each quarter, based on that expected number of requests. In the event that the total number of requests during a year exceed the expected number of samples for that year, an additional fee may be imposed at the end of the year as a charge for the excess requests.
Any fee structure, including those described above, may furthermore be modified as a function of the number of requests the customer expects to or actually does make. For example, a more favorable fee structure per prediction may apply to a customer who makes 5000 requests per year compared to a customer who makes 1000 requests per year. Other factors that may affect the fee structure include, for example, the number of component content levels to be predicted in each request, the prediction type (for example, total v. digestible, or methionine v. lysine), and any particular desired time of response requested by the customer. For example, determination of two content levels that require analysis using two different calibrations may be priced higher than determination of only one content level. Furthermore, any agreement involving service and pricing with the customer may be in the form of, for example, a renewable or non-renewable contract.
The fee structure may also make certain exceptions for predictions that carry an accompanying degree of error that exceeds a certain threshold value. For example, a prediction that carries an error above a threshold value could be termed an "outlier," and its accompanying prediction may be reported at no cost to the customer. Thus, any outliers would not count towards any minimum number of requests the customer has agreed to submit. Alternatively, an agreement could be reached with the customer to allow a maximum number of outliers made available free of charge. For example, an agreement could be reached with the customer to process a fixed number of requests, including a certain maximum number of outliers. Any outliers processed above that maximum would nonetheless be treated as normal predictions for pricing purposes.
In the event that an outlier is found during analysis of a spectrum, an offer may be made to the customer to determine a more accurate measurement of the content level of the component through conventional means and at no cost to the customer. If the customer accepts the offer, the customer may ship the material of interest to the offeror, and the offeror may perform a conventional measurement and report the more accurate result to the customer. The spectra of the material may then be correlated with the more accurate content level of component, and that information may be added to the database to enrich or create calibrations in the database. Such a process allows for the continuous refining of existing database calibrations and the evolution of new calibrations.
For purposes of tracking the number of customer requests made in a given time, and the number of any outliers reported, reporting unit 160 may provide that information to information storage 170. For example, reporting unit 160 may signal information storage 170 upon issuing any report. Information storage 170 could therefore store an up-to-date total of the number of customer requests made in a given time period. Reporting unit 160 may also signal information storage 170 when an outlier is reported, allowing that information to be stored as well. The running totals maintained in the information storage may be made retrievable by the customer.
Consistent with the principles of the invention, systems are provided that comprise:
Another embodiment of the invention is a method for obtaining a prediction of the content level of at least one component in a material, which comprises submitting a spectrum and request to the system and receiving the prediction from the system. This method is practiced, for example, by the customer who submits the request and receives the reported prediction.
Another embodiment of the invention is a method for evaluating the stability of a material over time. Stability of a material may be determined by, for example, observing any change in the content level of one or more components in the material. Such an analysis can be useful to evaluate the stability of materials during storage and in different storage environments. The method comprises obtaining a prediction for a material, obtaining a subsequent prediction of the material at a later time, and comparing the predictions to evaluate any change in the material.
The invention as claimed is not limited to the particulars of the embodiments disclosed in this specification. For example, the individual features of each of the disclosed embodiments may be combined or added to the features of other embodiments. In addition, the steps of the disclosed methods may be combined or modified without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed. Accordingly, it is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims.

Claps For: Leaving a few of our brain cells alive.
Slaps For: Existing.
Popcorn Refill: You might not want to return for the movie if you go out for any break!
The Story: *crickets chirping* what story?
Performances: We can only admire Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Ram Kapoor for their remarkable ability to withstand Sajid Khan's valiant efforts to humiliate them. Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Tamannaah Bhatia were spot on in their roles as decorative props.
Direction: Sajid Khan does a great job of getting this masterpiece on the floor, off the editing desk, onto screens, and permanently burning the eyes and brains of unsuspecting audiences.
Music: Composed by Himesh Reshammiya, the music for Humshakals was surprisingly tolerable. It was excellent, in comparison to everything else.
The choreography, however, was complex enough for nursery kids in their first ever Annual Day performance. Mummy and Daddy must be so proud.
Combo on Offer: The truth is, we can rant however much we want about this movie. We can say it was a colossal waste of time and effort; on the cast and crew's part, under the great leadership of Sajid Khan and Vashu Bhagnani, and on the audience's part, to actually sit through all of it.
We can say it is an insult to film-makers and writers worldwide, especially to the poor souls to whom the movie is dedicated. We can denounce it for being trash all we want, but in the end, it is Sajid Khan who will have the last laugh. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Our Verdict: We give the movie #Slaps for taking away two hours and forty minutes of our lives we'll never get back. We counted.

Green Peel Journey - London
I suffered from acne which is now gone but has left the typical red marks and some shallow pits. I know a peel will not remove the pitting but since I have a big night out planned in a week I wanted to do this peel to just refreshen and give an overall improvement in the red marks. So today I went to get the Green peel. I was apsoltely dreading it since I read someone said the solution... READ MORE

Im apologise for such a late reply! I had the peel done at a place in London called timeless skin care. Unfortunately the peel was terrible, in the sense that there was NO peeling. there only mild flaking like you get if you have dry... READ COMMENT

DUESSELDORF, GERMANY - JANUARY 28: Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine looks on during a press conference for his WBO Heavyweight Championship fight against Eddie Chambers of USA at the Esprit Arena on January 28, 2010 in Duesseldorf, Germany. The Championship fight will take place at the Esprit Arena on March 20, 2010 in Duesseldorf. (Photo by Lars Baron/Bongarts/Getty Images)
Under Wladimir Klitschko's disparaging gaze, Francesco Pianeta did not give much away during an open workout before he challenges the Ukrainian for his WBA and IBF heavyweight belts on Saturday. The undefeated Italian, who overcame testicular cancer, merely went through the motions in the last public appearance before their bout in Mannheim. The 28-year-old Pianeta, who has lived in Gelsenkirchen since he was 6, was briefly Klitschko's sparring partner last year and knows the formidable challenge of dethroning the 37-year-old Klitschko, who was also based in Germany. ''I know him from inside the ring. Together with my coach Dirk Dzemski we have a tactic to draw Wladimir out of his comfort zone. Then he's vulnerable,'' Pianeta said. Klitschko (59-3, 51KO) referred to Mike Tyson's famous quote, ''Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face,'' adding: ''Pianeta will be super motivated and wants to use his big chance but I am very experienced and will show him his limits...

Next-Gen Graphic Novel 'Infex' For iPad07/15/2012
Next-Gen Graphic Novel 'Infex' For Apple iPad - Director Keith Arem, known for his work on the record-breaking video games "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," "Saints Row the Third" and "The Amazing Spider-Man," will release a next-gen graphic novel exclusively for the Apple iPad.
The action-thriller "INFEX" is a breakthrough revolutionary interactive graphic novel, featuring animated artwork, an exclusive new orchestrated sound track, and celebrity voice-overs provided by seasoned actors Lance Henriksen ("Aliens" and "Terminator"), Michael Wincott ("The Crow"), William Fichtner ("Black Hawk Down" and "Contact"), Nolan North ("Uncharted"), Troy Baker ("Last of Us") and Steve Blum ("Wolverine"). Arem wrote and directed the script, and Arem's PCB Productions produced the project. The App is showing concurrently with the collector's graphic novel with co-creator Brandon Humphreys and artist Shake J. "INFEX" will make an official debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 and will be available at the App store, Friday, July 20, 2012.
The App's creative and modern premise is also expected to draw mass comic book, gaming and Sci-Fi fan appeal. "INFEX" shadows cancer survivor, Evelyn "Ivy" Kendall, who discovers her father's chemotherapy research contains the secret to ending human disease and is the blueprint for creating genetically engineered monsters. But when her father is murdered for his technology, Ivy is unaware of the lethal mutation he has hidden inside her. Fifteen years later, her father's company, IngenBio Corporation, discovers her secret and imprisons Ivy in their underground labyrinth. Assisted by former soldier Garrett Thorne, they must escape the facility and expose the truth about her father's murder.
"'INFEX' is truly the next generation of graphic novels," states Arem about the App. "With our platform, we can now incorporate animation, music and sound, which all combine to heighten user interactivity to levels that have never been seen before in a book. I love the tactile experience of reading a book, and this application allows us to deliver that same experience for the popular and growing graphic novel medium, combined with the production value of a game."
Actor Lance Henriksen backed Arem's sentiments. "The incredible work that Keith has achieved in his games and upcoming films is reflected in this book," he said. "Keith has created an immersive experience with this App, in the same way his books and games have inspired his audience. With 'INFEX,' he's brought everything to a new level, and will set the bar for how graphic novels are presented in the future."
Arem's work to date is featured on the largest game franchises of this year, including: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," "Saints Row the Third," "Ghost Recon Future Soldier," "Fall of Cybertron," "Sleeping Dogs," and "The Amazing Spider-Man." Following its Holiday 2011 landmark as the largest first day sales total in history, Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3″ continues to break records not only for video games, but for all entertainment media; Activision Blizzard Inc., reported $1 Billion in worldwide sales during its first month. Game developer Infinity Ward contracted Arem as their celebrity talent director – responsible for directing all voice actors in the game including William Fichtner, Idris Elba, Bruce Greenwood and Timothy Olyphant. Arem is already hard at work on the next installment of the franchise.
PCB Productions is a digital content creation company for Interactive, Film, Television, Animation and New Media. Founded by industry veteran Keith Arem (Virgin Interactive / Electronic Arts), PCB has developed on more than 500 commercial titles, including franchises for the "Call of Duty" series, "Spider-Man" series, "Ghost Recon" series, "Saints Row" series, "Lord of the Rings," "Rainbow Six" series, "War for Cybertron," "Sleeping Dogs," "Silent Hill," "Darksiders," and "Guitar Hero." In addition to being an award-winning director and producer of video games, Arem is also a best-selling author and graphic novelist.
The App will be available for purchase worldwide on the Apple store, and will be released in several "Phases," which will give users the chance to experience a linear story, but with no defined limits on beginning, middle or end.
For more information about "INFEX," and to view interactive demonstrations and trailers please visit: http://www.infex.tv, or Booth 3945 at San Diego Comic-Con International 2012, where iPad3 demos of the product will be available, as well as limited edition gift materials for select press.

To be honest,
I am not familair with range, but the best spots to train range is:
Free-to-play: 1. The Hill Giants in Barbarian village hut. ( Edgeville Dungeon) a) you will need a brass key to enter this place. b) The hilly giant levels are: 28
2. if your under a combat level 28, you might need to bring some food.
Most of the Hill Giants are located in the south-northern area of the place. It might be crowded, depending on what world you are on.
1. Best place for members is at: Taverley Dungeons. (you will need a dusty key)
a) if you go here, there will be a safe spot for you to range. b) bring some food if you are a combat level under at least 50+ c) it is located: South of Taverly and West of Falador. d) the monsters that are down here are: Hill giants - Black Dragons - Lesser Demons - Hell hounds Blue Dragons and Baby Blue Dragons.
Since there are posion spiders down here, you will need to bring some anti-posion(4) with you.
Hope this will help you in you range training. Happy Gaming and Good Luck!

Star Wars Battlefront has Hoth, and Luke and shedloads of lasers but it's missing one pretty important thing - a story. And it looks like even a stormtrooper has noticed.
Star Wars the Force Awakens actor John Boyega - who plays former trooper Finn in the film - has been playing the game and had this to say to EA.
@EAStarWars Will fans get a full on offline story mode? It's more of an enjoyable way to learn controls.
— John Boyega (@JohnBoyega) March 2, 2016
The response was pretty swift and suggested that the actor try the Missions in the game - which can be played in single player with waves of enemies. But it's not the same, and Boyega said it left him wanting more... before promptly asking if he can visit the UK office of the developer. Naturaly they said yes.
Of course this doesn't mean that a story mode is in the works and it's very unlikely anything like this will ever happen for Battlefront. However, EA does have the license for Star Wars games for some time to come, and we know they have some story driven titles in the works.

A New Mobility Model for Multimedia Networks
Mobile IP is the current standard proposed by IETF for mobility management in IP networks. Its importance increases if network is supporting multimedia applications. Mobile node communicates with a static Correspondent Node. The main consideration is when Mobile Node and Correspondent Node both are visiting beyond their home networks and changing their network. For real time applications it needs faster reestablishment of a broken connection due to change of network. The proposed model works after changing the address of a node due to change of network. It differentiates between the initial establishment and intermediate reestablishment of communication between mobile node and correspondent node in lesser steps than 3RP.

Congratulations to the founder
For making the Writer's Digest 19th Annual 101 Best Websites for Writers!
What is one valuable lesson you've learned since you started writing?
I've learned that laughter is an antidote for a bad review! See the humor in their words, and you'll see the hilarity in your own.
I'll be taking a break for a while. I need to regroup, redesign, revitalize.
© 2017 Yolanda Renée
I hope you're all enjoying your summer/winter depending on the hemisphere you're in, and that all your writing goals are being met!
Be sure to say hello to all the awesome co-hosts Tamara Narayan, Pat Hatt, Patricia Lynne, Juneta Key, and Doreen McGettigan!
Have you visited the Insecure Writer's Support Group Website yet?
Remember the IWSG is on Twitter too - @TheIWSG and the hashtag is #IWSG
Are you taking a break this summer/winter?
From writing, blogging, or just to enjoy the season?

Reader's Super Powers
Thank you, Yolanda, for the honor to chat with your visitors about Forbidden. You've given me free reign to discuss what hasn't be covered in my guest posts so far. Wow, give a woman that kind of freedom, the world better take notice.I'm betting your readers have no idea about the power they possess. Yep, every reader has the force that can send an author into the world of 'best seller' or plunge her/his books into oblivion. I'm not sure if I should share this secret or not. The risk is great. But the benefits are enormous.
Any guesses on the identity of a reader's power? Reviews? Yes!!I can spend hundreds of dollars on ads, have a great book cover, an engaging synopsis, but if readers write negative reviews on my novel, the sales reports will be abysmal. Now, if the book truly deserves the one--star rating on Amazon, the author might consider registering for a writer's course, or take up knitting. The point is that readers value the opinion of other readers.
Compose a review, even a brief report, giving information about what you loved, and/or what was lacking in the novel. It's understood that a reviewer's report is subjective. What one reader didn't like, another reader might be swept away in a fantasy heaven. However, each review has the power to sway a reader to buy the book, or chose another book.There's no need to be cruel or nasty – some reviewers are unbelievably nasty. If you didn't enjoy the read, simply say so. Point out the reason. Maybe you couldn't connect with the characters, the plot dragged on, or the ending was predictable. Perhaps the book was poorly edited.
I read every review I receive. So far, knock on wood, I've received only one crushing review. The rest have been wonderful. Occasionally, there's a comment for me to consider while writing my next novel. It's all a learning experience. If I can improve my writing technique through a reader/reviewer's suggestions, that's perfect.Now for the rules. Amazon is very clear on their standards for reviewers. If a reviewer breaks these rules, Amazon will delete the review. Here is quick list of what you need to know when writing a review on Amazon.
To post Customer Reviews or Customer Answers, post on Customer Discussion Forums, or submit content to followers, you must have spent at least $50 on Amazon.com using a valid credit or debit card.

"Quit daydreaming!" A large crack sounded as pain registered across Heather's back.
"Sorry, Master." Heather bowed despite the pain and hurriedly lifted another crate of canned goods onto the wagon. And then another and another until all the vegetables were loaded for market. Taking a deep breath, she added the final two crates of fresh goods. Fear and an intense need to please the master had her finishing in no time.
"Loaded and secured, Master." She knelt at his feet.
"About time." He jumped into the seat and grabbed the reins. "I've left a list of chores to keep your idle hands busy. The most important is the wedding dress. Finish it. Mr. Humphries paid a handsome price for your lazy hide, so make sure you're ready."
"I will, Master."
"You will or you'll marry naked. Make sure your room is cleared and ready for your replacement. She'll return with me."
"Thank you, Master." She bowed and kissed the dirty hem of his robe. "Please have a safe trip."
He snapped his whip. Heather flinched at the sound but watched his departure until he was out of sight and the dust cloud created by thundering hooves dissipated.
Joy radiated from her toes to her fingertips as the Master's distance grew. Bliss filled her soul. Her body swayed, and a song rose from her throat. Heather sang and danced until breathless, then sank to the ground and lay among the forget-me-nots.
"Have you decided?" a tiny voice asked. It came from a small body. Transparent wings vibrated faster than a hummingbird. The nymph flitted from flower to flower before settling on Heather's knee as she sat up.
"I'm not sure," she told him.
"What'? Are you daft? Either you cross the bridge to freedom or marry old man Humphrey and slop his swine until he decides to kill you.
"Ethan, don't be so dramatic."
"My best friend Bertrand saw it. He tried to intervene and lost both his legs because of it. I wouldn't lie to you."
"Nymphs are bewitchers – little devils." She gazed at him through her eyelashes, embarrassment reddening her cheeks.
"Master told you that?" The small nymph stood on her knee his hands on his hips, his wings still and glistening in the sunshine.
Heather nodded. She found the creatures' bright blue eyes mesmerizing despite his ugliness and spindly limbs. He looked like a twisted twig, only his eyes and perfect white teeth were human in nature.
"Have I not healed the many wounds he's inflicted or aided you when the chores became too much? Why do you question me?" He sat down in the lotus position on her knee cap. His arms crossed and his eyes wide and questioning.
She giggled. "You're always so serious. The horrors you describe just can't exist. The world is too beautiful." She threw her arms open to the heavens.
"You would be concerned too if Master didn't have you enthralled with black magic. Do you remember how you got here?"
"I've tried, but no. My only memories are of Master's love for me."
"Love? You call daily beatings love?"
"He says I'm a silly girl given to a restless mind. He's right. I have daydreams. He took me in when I was homeless, and he's given me everything."
"The Master lies!" Ethan flew up from her knee in a huff and sprinkled her in sparkling dust. "REMEMBER!" He flew off in a blur.
Glittering remnants of the dust settled onto her exposed skin and then disappeared. Memories began flooding her mind. Recollections of another life, another place and time. A family. The mother she resembled, her adoring father, the sister who looked up to her. Even the wedding she'd planned to a handsome young man named Cody. But most surprising was her name – Logan Marshall, not Heather.
Her scream brought Ethan back. "Now do you see?"
"Where am I?" She looked at the world differently.
"That doesn't matter, but if you follow me, I'll show you how to get back to your life."
"Show me."
Ethan flew toward the forest, and Logan followed. The plowed fields were densely packed but easy to traverse. She stopped right before entering the dark forest.
"Why do you hesitate?"
"I've heard screams. Master says wild man-eating beasts live here."
"Peacocks. This is my home. There's nothing to fear!"
Logan looked back at the log cabin, the farm that had been her home, but memories of a family tugged at her. Hesitation vanished. She joined Ethan who waited just inside the foliage. He led the way to a clearing. The gorge opening yawned wide before them. The end of the road.
"Where's the bridge?"
Ethan whistled and threw out more glittering dust. A bridge of fire appeared. "See, salvation."
"Fire? No way!" She backed away.
"Blue flame is magic, cool." Ethen flew through it. "See, move closer, you'll feel no heat. You're pure of heart. An innocent. Strip first, you have to leave everything from this world behind to make the journey."
Logan stepped forward, and a mixture of blue, green and purple flames formed a solid looking bridge with massive girders. Instead of crackling the fire sounded like the flutter of hundreds of nymph's wings. Ethan was right, she felt no heat.
She kicked off her shoes, removed her smock and underclothes, but hesitated.
"Go on, your family is waiting."
She smiled and took the first step forward. "Thank you."
"No problem, saving virgins is my calling."
Logan's eyes grew wide. "But I'm not . . .
Ethan laughed.
Logan screamed as the flames consumed her.
"I know. But each sacrifice brings me closer and closer to becoming a full demon and owning a kingdom of slave maidens of my own." His skin turned red and horns popped out on his bald head.

trained to rule and she needs lessons about the real world. Moxie goes on a
quest to learn how to rule and to learn about life outside the castle.
Moxie faces unexpected obstacles as she struggles with adventures in a brutal reality that tests her mettle and determination.
This is a fantasy coming-of-age story that is decidedly different than the usual ones. The book is filled with satire and humor. What more can a reader wish for?
It takes place against the backdrop of Camelot, but this isn't the Camelot of legends. It's Camelot in a parallel universe where the Knights of the Round Table play football and Guinevere coaches the team's cheer leaders. The wizard Merlin struggles to understand the Magic of the Mind using primitive ink stained diagrams and Stonehenge is a theater-in-the-round.
Moxie's rollicking adventures are the stuff of comedy. Enjoy!

Backstory: Moxie has a plan to become a decisive, independent-minded woman. The first phase of the plan involves joining the Heroes Guild to learn self-reliance and weaponry. She is accompanied by three friends, all knights and graduates of the Guild: Percivale, Bors and Gareth.
~ ~ ~
Moxie gulped. In front of her lay her destiny. Would she get accepted and become a heroine, or would she get rejected? For the first time, Moxie realized she didn't have an alternate plan. All her energies had been focused on this day and Moxie had assumed her plan would work. With mounting anxiety, she climbed the steps and walked through the doors held open by a porter, who remembered and greeted the knights.
Moxie entered a large hallway lit by glazed windows and chandeliers filled with lit candles. On her left, portraits covered an entire wall.
"That's the Wall of Fame," Gareth said. "Those are the most famous graduates from the Heroes Guild."
Moxie observed that all the portraits were of angry men about to smash someone or something with a large chunk of metal.
To her right, Moxie saw an area where six clerks labored at desks with quills and abaci. An open sitting area held stools where eight men waited.
Beyond the waiting men was a large office with closed doors
Bors walked over one of the clerks. "Tell the administrators that three Guild graduates want an audience with them."
The clerk ignored Bors and continued to scribble on a parchment.
Bors grabbed the clerk's tunic in one hand and lifted him off his stool. An ink pot fell to the floor. "You have my permission to tell the administrators that we're waitin'." Bors dropped the clerk. "Do it now!"
The clerk jumped up and ran into the office. He emerged a minute later and held the door open for Bors and the others.
Inside, Moxie saw a long desk with two men sitting behind it. Both were middle-aged and ate well judging by their jowly faces and the folds of skin circling their necks. Both had neat, trimmed beards. They gave a bare smile at the knights, but had raised eyebrows for Moxie.
Percivale snapped to attention. "Chief Administrator Thibault and Administrator Castrani, I'm Percivale. My mates Bors and Gareth and I have a request to discuss with you."
"How nice to see the three of you." Thibault didn't sound convincing. He was tall and lanky with pale skin, white hair and a long face set in a permanent frown.
"And to find you in good health and still in possession of all your limbs," Castrani added. This one was short and pudgy with a mostly bald head.
"Who is this lady?" Thibault asked.
Moxie hopped from foot to foot and tried not grimace at the men.
"This is Princess Moxie. Her father is King Smedley of Usca. Moxie is the reason for our visit."
"That sounds odd," Castrani said. "We rarely have women visitors."
Moxie gulped. She couldn't tell if the two men were friendly or hostile. Both had rigid expressions that gave no hint of their thinking.
Percivale cleared his throat.
Moxie saw Bors chewed his lip while Gareth picked at a nail.
"You see, Moxie wants to join the Guild and she persuaded us to plead her case."
Both administrators sat back in surprise. "Really?" Thibault said. "A female trainee?"
"On our way here," Gareth said, "we was attacked by bandits and Moxie helped us defend ourselves and killed two of them with her dagger."
"Moxie saved my life," Percivale said.
Castrani leaned close to Thibault and whispered in his ear. Thibault whispered back as the two held a hurried consultation.
Thibault stared at Moxie.
Moxie squirmed under the inspection.
"As strange as this may seem," Thibault said, "Administrator Castrani and I recently had a discussion on this very subject. We agreed that — possibly — it was time to admit a woman or two, provided suitable candidates applied for admission." He pointed a finger at the knights. "Do all three of you support Princess Moxie's candidacy?"
Moxie almost wet herself waiting for the knights to answer.
All three nodded their heads. Bors said, "We do."
"Then it's settled," Thibault said. "This will be a scholarship of course, so Moxie won't have to pay tuition. Will one of you tell my clerk to fetch Harry?"
Gareth left the room momentarily to tell a clerk.
Castrani questioned Moxie. "Do you really understand what we do here?"
"I've traveled with my friends here and I've seen how they react to emergencies and how self-sufficient they are. They told me they learned that stuff here. I need to learn how to do those things."
"Are you prepared to dedicate yourself to the training regimen required to graduate from the Heroes Guild?"
"I am." Moxie had trouble believing that she had been accepted. Her life was about to change forever. When she graduated, she would be a completely different woman from what she was today. She had never been so exhilarated in her life.
A door in the side of the room opened and an impossibly large man walked into the room. He had a shaved head and a full red beard. He wore a red-painted leather vest with leather trews and heavy calf-high boots. His bare arms rippled with muscles, tattoos and scars. "What?" he roared in greeting.
"Ah, Harry. Good of you to interrupt your training and attend our little meeting."
Harry walked over and slapped the knights on their shoulders. "Still alive? Ya can't be doin' much fightin' or yer'd all be dead." Harry grinned at the knights. "Still, it's good to see ya."
Harry turned to the administrators and waited.
"Er, Harry," Thibault said, "I want you to meet the newest trainee. This is Princess Moxie. Moxie, this Harry the Murderer."
Moxie cringed in fear as Harry stared down on her with an expression of disgust and rage. The man exuded violence. She had never met anyone who could send waves of fear coursing through her body like Harry did just by looking at her. Even the bandit attack was nothing compared to what she felt around Harry.
"I ain't teachin' a bloody woman." Harry rounded on the administrators. "Are you two outta yer minds?"
"Harry," Thibault said mildly, "we've had a change of policy and we now accept female trainees."
"Hah. This one won't last two days."
Moxie saw her dreams collapsing under the scrutiny of Harry, but she wasn't letting this man destroy her future. She would not be thwarted by him. She took a deep breath and said, "Hah. That's how little you know."
Harry whirled on her. "Who gave you permission to speak to me, vermin?"
"I'm a princess." Moxie slammed her fists onto her hips. "I don't need your permission."
Harry stepped back and examined Moxie once more. "Ya ain't a princess once ya go through that door." He pointed to the side entrance. "Wanna know what yer are then? Yer pond scum and I'm gonna pound ya inna ground. Two days under my wing and ya'll be screamin' to go home."
Moxie looked at Thibault. "This man is incredibly rude. I assume you'll punish him for his attitude?"
"Harry is our chief instructor. His manner may be a bit harsh, but he is a very good instructor. I'll have a clerk assist you in settling in. Then, in the morning, you'll begin your training."
Harry stomped out of the office mumbling curses and slammed the door.
"I'm sure you'll come to love Harry just like all our trainees do," Castrani said with a twinkle in his eye.
Moxie's exhilaration over getting accepted had been tempered by meeting Harry the Murderer. She would just have to put up with Harry's rudeness and his boorish manners.
Nothing would be allowed to impede her journey to become a heroine.

"They won when we were there, when I was there on staff. They won when Rich Brooks was there. You can get good kids there." ?
Kentucky hasn't won more than eight games since the 2007 season when it went 8-5, including wins over Louisville, LSU and Florida State. In Pease's time as the offensive coordinator at Kentucky, the Wildcats went 2-9 in 2001 and 7-5 in 2002. He then left Kentucky to take the same position at Baylor.
Pease doesn't want to become a distraction to the Florida team.
"I've made a commitment to be here, especially with my family, and I'll move on if that situation arises," Pease said. "Ask me that question later when something happens. I can't comment on a ghost story right now."
Pease wants to focus on the remainder football season before he starts to look at other opportunities.
"That situation is out of the question right now because I haven't heard anything," Pease said. "I wouldn't do that. I'm focused on here. I've only been here one year.
"I'm not going to approach it in season at all. If the opportunity comes up afterward, I'd do whatever's appropriate at that time." ?
OPPOSITION LOADING THE BOX: With the downfield passing struggles by the Florida offense this season, defenses have been picking up on it. The Gators are starting to see more players in the box on defense, making it tougher to run the football as well as Florida did early in the season.The Gators hit a deep ball to Frankie Hammond for a touchdown against Missouri, but it was called back because of a holding penalty by Florida guard Jon Halapio. The deep shots are still in the playbook, but they haven't been working in recent weeks.
"That's something that we still have built into the scheme," Pease said. "We have those. We want guys to get there. But you've got to keep (defenses) honest that way. You can't continually hit your head against a wall."
There are plenty of reasons the passing game isn't working the way Pease wants it to. The receivers haven't been getting openly consistently, and the pass protection has struggled to give Driskel enough time for routes to develop down the field. Pease pointed to drops in recent weeks that are slowing down the progress of the offense.
Even when the offense isn't sharp, Pease knows the Florida defense and special teams are good enough to keep the team in the gave and give it a shot to win.
"It's just a matter of putting it all together. I'm not saying that's going to happen either. You're always trying to put the kids in a good situation, so sometimes you might think we get conservative. Well yeah, but we know our defense is playing well. We know we got Christy to get us out of a situation and not make a risky throw where our defense has a short field or something like that."
This weekend should prevent an opportunity for the passing game to gain confidence. Louisiana is allowing 294.63 yards through the air per game and has recorded nine interceptions on the year.
The Gators should have an opportunity to get the downfield passing game going with Driskel on Saturday.
"Every week it's important to get confidence, but obviously that's a stat that you look at and say, 'well, they've given up some stuff.' I still think that where we're at with this group of kids and the team from our side is that we go in, and we've got to do what we do best.
"We've got to see how the game goes and where our confidence goes. We'll still always have our mixture of run and pass, but we've got to go out and execute it, too. We should get (the passing game) going. Those stats are saying that you can."

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Just for fun, I thought it would be interesting to compare how Google, Yahoo! and other top search engines rank in search results. I entered the term "search engine" into Google, Yahoo!, MSN and Ask.com to see how each site faired in their respective search results; and the results are surprising.
Google's Pick: AltaVista
You think Google would rank themselves as the number one search engine, but Google's number one rank for the term "search engine" was AltaVista.
Google also ranks dogpile.com, Yahoo!, and MSN on the first page of results, but I didn't find any mention of Google.com, only Google.co.uk on the second page.
Yahoo! Picks Yahoo!
As you would expect, Yahoo! lists search.yahoo.com as the number one result for the term "search engine" – although they do recommend searching for "google search engine"!
Yahoo! features Google in the second spot with AltaVista also getting a mention on the first page. Ask.com gets the number eleven spot, with MSN lagging behind at number twenty six.
MSN Chooses Google
MSN has Google claiming the number one rank, followed by Ask.com second.
MSN also lists AltaVista and Yahoo! in the third and fourth spots respectively, but doesn't list their own search engine, search.live.com anywhere in the first 3 pages of results.
Ask lists their own search engine, Ask.com as the number one result.
Interestingly, they do not list Google or MSN at all within the first 3 pages of results, with Yahoo! only getting a mention as the thirty sixth search result.
Based on the recent search stats, one would expect the results to be listed Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.com in that order. While none of the major search engines seem to have reflected this, I guess they don't really want to be sending traffic to their competitors.
Final Verdict
If I had to pick a winner for which search engine returned the most relevant results in this test, I would have to choose MSN. The Live.com search engine returned three of the top four search engines in the first four search results – which is more than any of their competitors.
