The lack of low-cost access to orbit is the greatest detriment to the near-term exploitation of space. The ability to deliver payloads to orbit for substantially less than $5,000 per pound is yet to be realized. This results from the expendable nature of the current stable of space launch vehicles. The space shuttle being a combined space launch vehicle and manned orbital laboratory and workshop, while reusable, represents a more costly approach to payload delivery. Analysis of actual space launch vehicle delivery costs to date indicate that both the vehicle costs and the mode of space operations must be modified.
Numerous conceptual design studies have been performed since the mid-1960's, attempting to find a solution but none (other than the partially reusable space shuttle) have demonstrated sufficient cost leverage and utility to move forward into development. All the fully reusable concepts produced very large vehicles or lacked adequate credibility. The current U.S. main effort is the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) which would employ slush liquid hydrogen fuel and atmospheric oxygen as the propellant. Results to date indicate that advanced technology is required in all technical disciplines and vehicle systems especially in the combined-cycle engine. Because of the low density of the hydrogen fuel and drag losses from the required flight in the atmosphere, the resulting airframe is quite large.
The challenge facing the reusable single-stage chemical rocket space-launch vehicle designer is illustrated in a relationship derived from the rocket equation expressed as:
ΔV=g�Isp�log (Winitial /Wfinal)
where ΔV is the velocity delivered by the rocket engine to achieve orbit, g is the acceleration of gravity, and Isp is the specific impulse of the rocket engine.
Assuming ΔV (including all losses)=32,500 feet/sec., vacuum Isp=460 sec. for a liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen engine, and a fixed payload weight=10,000 lbs., the following relationship for the launch weight results:
Wlaunch =90,000�[(Wempty /Wpayload)min +ΔWempty /Wpayload +1]
where Wempty is the vehicle burnout weight at orbit insertion for no payload, and ΔWempty represents the weight increment attributed to a non-optimal concept. The weight ΔWempty includes both the weight of the non-optimal subsystem carried into and returned from orbit and the vehicle empty weight growth resulting from the added propellant and engine thrust required. An example would be the wing required for airfield takeoff but not required for reentry and landing. The feasibility and cost of the fully reusable space launch vehicle is directly dependent on the vehicle empty to payload weight ratio. For a value of 20, a 2 million pound launch weight is indicated and an empty weight growth of 5 percent for launch weight fixed drops the payload weight to zero. For system feasibility, a vehicle empty weight to payload weight ratio of 10 or less is probably required. One suggested approach would follow the vertical launch technique and rely on advanced materials technology to reduce the empty to payload weight ratio to about 10. However, this approach is paced by the availability of advanced technology development resources. A more challenging problem for the designer is to search for configuration options and mode of flight options that can make for a near-term, low-cost solution. (The classic example of this type of approach was the discovery and implementation of lunar orbit rendezvous which made possible manned landing on the moon in the 1960's). In all probability, more than one breakthrough together with favorable synergism between concepts will be necessary. One recent example of a new approach put into practice was the successful flight of the small Pegasus space launch vehicle which employed a B52 aircraft as the first stage which dropped a three-stage vehicle having a winged initial stage to provide an aerodynamic turn to transition from horizontal to climbing flight. Many studies exploring aircraft launch have been conducted for large payload space launch vehicles mainly to exploit the flexibility of an airfield launch site. The primary stumbling block has been the lack of a suitable heavy payload launch aircraft.
It is the object of the present invention to contribute substantially to the reduction of the cost of delivery of payloads to orbit through reuse of launch vehicle components.
Another objective is to provide a fully reusable launch assist zero stage to make possible airfield takeoff of a space launch vehicle without degradation of orbital payload weight capability.
A further objective is to contribute to improved efficiency and launch cost reduction of the space launch vehicle if designed for and operated in the expendable mode.
These and other objects are provided through the utilization of an unpowered reusable flying wing glider zero stage (the subject of this invention) in conjunction with an aerodynamically shaped configuration without wings. The wing is sized for takeoff from existing airfield runways. After an optimum climb angle is established and before wing weight and wing drag degrade performance, the wing is released for a glide return to the launch site. An undercarriage is utilized to support the configuration during the ground roll and is released at the takeoff point. The undercarriage concept applies the prior art employed operationally by the ME163 rocket interceptor aircraft of WWII vintage. The flying wing zero stage would contain tank(s) for fuel or fuel and oxidizer so that at wing release, the spacecraft tanks are full or nearly full for the trajectory to orbit.
FIG. 1 shows a top view of a space launch vehicle having aircraft-like flight characteristics.
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the flight vehicle of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a wing mounted on the top side of the flight vehicle of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 shows the system of FIG. 3 following release of the wing.
FIG. 5 shows a side view of the wing-space launch vehicle configuration for the system performance calculation.
FIG. 6 shows a top view of the wing-space launch vehicle configuration for the system performance calculation.
FIG. 7 shows a rear view of the wing-space launch vehicle configuration for the system performance calculation.
FIG. 8 shows the altitude plotted against range for the trajectory to orbit calculation.
FIG. 9 shows the altitude plotted against range for the low altitude phase of the trajectory to orbit calculation.
Referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, and FIG. 2, consider a rocket-powered space launch vehicle configuration shaped to have aircraft-like flight characteristics. Since wings are absent, this type shape is referred to by those familiar with the art as a lifting body. The slender triangular planform 10, the twin toed-in vertical tails 11, and a center of gravity 12, slightly forward of the center of planform area, all contribute to low supersonic-hypersonic drag, aerodynamic stability, and aerodynamic lift for re-entry energy management and for a runway-type landing. Rocket propellant is contained between the forward tank dome 13 and the aft tank dome 14. The rocket engine (not shown) and aerodynamic controls would occupy space between aft tank dome and vehicle base. Other flight systems and personnel would be located in front of the forward tank dome. A payload bay 15 would be located at the flight center of gravity. As is obvious from the drawings, propellant tankage dominates the vehicle configuration. As is the case for all expendable space launch vehicles, the propellant tankage for this configuration would be employed as primary airframe structure. For recovery and reuse, heat shielding would be required over the entire vehicle.
This type of lifting body arrangement is expected to have a vehicle empty weight to vehicle payload weight ratio between 5 and 6 for a payload weight of 10,000 pounds and thus a launch weight of between 550,000 and 650,000 pounds using the relationship and for the parameters presented earlier. For vertical launch, this would require an initial engine thrust level of between 660,000 and 780,000 pounds. So as to avoid paying the penalty of carrying takeoff thrust engines to the upper stage staging point or to orbit, it is current practice to stage liquid rocket engines (Atlas) or employ solid rocket boost (Delta/Titan). While providing flexible payload growth capability to the launch system, this practice contributes substantially to the payload to orbit delivery cost.
An elegant alternative to this approach is offered by providing airfield runway takeoff capability to the described lifting body space launch vehicle through addition of a wing sized for takeoff and the low altitude climbout trajectory. Referring next to FIG. 3, the wing 30 is attached to the upper surface of the primary spacecraft. Fuel and oxidizer or oxidizer only is contained in a wing tank 31. The wing would be shaped and located so as to not require additional surfaces on the spacecraft for safe and stable flight.
FIG. 4 shows the wing and the spacecraft shortly after wing release. The wing would have the shaping, aerodynamic control surfaces, and automatic controls for a glide return to the airfield launch site following the prior art demonstrated by the Northrup flying wing aircraft of WWII and post-WWII vintage and the B2 bomber.
The leverage afforded by the invention is best seen through the examination of the ascent to orbit performance it provides. Trajectory simulations leading to a near optimum solution employed the wing-lifting body configuration of FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. The assumed payload weight of 10,000 LBM for a 50 N.M. polar orbit sets the overall configuration size. The resulting parameters for the calculation reflect current state of the technology. For the spacecraft delivered to orbit and returned to earth, the empty weight not including payload is approximately 50,000 LBM. The liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen propellant weight is 525,000 LBM. The wing empty weight is 15,000 LBM. The wing propellant weight is 25,000 LBM. The ratio of wing lift to body lift at takeoff equals 5 and the ratio of rocket engine thrust to total configuration weight at takeoff is 0.84. Rocket engine thrust and weight are representative of a single installed space shuttle main engine (SSME). Spacecraft aerodynamic parameters for the simulations reflect wind tunnel test data from subsonic speeds to a Mach number of 5 and theoretical predictions above a Mach number of 5. Wing aerodynamic properties follow from lifting-line theory.
FIG. 8 shows that as defined the vehicle does indeed possess orbital capability. Way points shown by sequential numbers and symbols on the ascent profile identify where steering commands and rocket motor parameters are modified. At orbit insertion, the excess velocity (not including propellant reserves) is 7 feet per second. The performance losses (drag, gravity, thrust atmospheric and steering) total 5,860 feet per second. A further indication of the value of the subject space launch vehicle combination is gained by examining the weight allocation for reentry heat shielding and runway landing. If this weight was transferred to payload assuming the spacecraft is expendable, the 10,000 LBM payload would nearly double. In perspective, cutting the payload in half to make possible reuse represents a good tradeoff.
The value of the subject invention is better understood by examination of the low altitude ascent trajectory shown in FIG. 9. Following a ground roll of 4,000 feet, the vehicle takes off (way point 1) with a rotation speed of 280 knots and performs a constant near maximum lift-to-drag ratio turn to 30 degree flight path angle (way point 2) and holds this near optimum climb angle through transonic speeds. While not tested to be an optimum release point, the wing is staged (way point 3) at a Mach number of 0.9 to avoid the wing transonic drag rise. At this staging point, the remaining lifting body space launch vehicle has adequate lift to hold the flight path and has low enough drag to accelerate through the transonic speed range and continue to orbit. In contrast, a comparable vertical launch vehicles following a steeper low altitude flight path and requires about 40 percent more takeoff thrust.
Accordingly, a system for airfield launching of space vehicles has been described. Clearly the subject invention may be modified both in design and application by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

The air is fresh and cool tonight. Its silence fills my head, and its loneliness surrounds me. The memories of a lifetime pass by, paralleled by the inevitable insight that nothing will ever change. The faces keep passing by and are replaced by others, but the rest – relationships, events, love, hatred, trust, the final treason, pain, regret, emptiness, pointlessness – ceaselessly repeats itself in a vicious circle.
The bypassing memories suddenly come to an abrupt halt – you. I can think of nothing else, as I behold, enthralled by a slightly uneasy awe, the goddess smile playing on your velvet lips forming your well-shaped mouth which is only surpassed by the sparks emitted by your darkish eyes. For a moment, I catch my breath and my heart appears to collapse, eager to burst the suddenly too confined ribcage keeping it. I shudder, and I am at a loss for words. I feel cold, and as I look outside, the night has crept on the sky, leaving me standing with my back to the wall.
There is no hope. I am a modern Prometheus of love. The vultures pick at my heart, rip it out of my chest, and devour it eagerly. But alas, until the next day, all will have been restored in order that the torture may continue for ever, and no Hercules is to come so as to release me.

A year later….a year after a friend and colleague, and her husband were so suddenly, cruelly, violently taken in such a shocking manner, it is still raw. I didn't think that it would be. Like everyone else who knew her, I've hitched up my big girl panties. Yes, cried sometimes. Laughed sometimes too imagining what she might have said or done. Cried a little when it seemed that she said hello at work that one time. I still catch my breath and gulp back a tear or more when I see her garden outside of Room 3 when I get to work…when I get to work.
A year later we remembered because I can't imagine that we will ever forget someone so remarkable. We all remembered and honored her and her husband in our own ways. We all were not together but we all remembered still. Some of us gathered with her daughter tonight and remembered.
God that was hard!
Her little girl's physical, emotional, spiritual, psychic pain was so real, so raw. I just can not imagine. I don't think any one of us could ever understand, ever know unless we too lost someone we have known and loved our entire lives taken so violently away from us. The mommy in me wishes I could take that pain away from their daughter. The mommy in me prays none of my children ever know that pain I witnessed today.
Those of us who gathered with their daughter stood together in Jacob Myers Park in Riverbank before the tree planted in their memory with a plaque placed before it. Dwarfed right now by 14 trees in what is known as Bicentennial Grove, it will soon enough someday catch up to their towering grandeur as it guards the entrance to that beautiful grove here in the Central Valley.
It's a place to pause, to sit and reflect. A place for us to remember. A place for anyone else to just take in the cool of the shade these trees provide, the green-ness all around, the sounds of nature and families at play and the occasional startling rumbling overhead from the trains passing on the bridge nearby. It's a place where I am reminded that we "hitch up our big girl panties", as Janet would often say in some of the most stressful times in the NICU and we do that which we must do…"we don't forget, we don't let go and we don't stop."…as her husband's business partner reminded us tonight.
It's still raw. It's still so real. We don't forget. We won't let go. But we also don't stop living as, I would imagine, our friend and colleague would expect of us all.

Our next stop along the Croatian coast was in a town called Omiš. When we pulled up to park we could see a huge gorge with the Cetina River running through it. We decided to visit Omiš because we wanted to try zip-lining, but also it seemed like a lovely scenic place to stay for two nights.
We spent the morning of our first day hiking up the gorge to the top with the zip-lining company. Only me and Rich would be clever enough to hike in 30 degree heat without any water haha – luckily we were so distracted by flying down the zipline's that we didn't die of thirst. The views from the top over the river were stunning, I felt like I was looking at a perfect, scenic painting the whole time. The zip-lining itself was one of the coolest things we've ever done!! I was a bit nervous as the first one went right over the river, wayyyy up high but after the first one was done I couldn't wait for the rest. We went through trees and different levels, it was definitely worth it – even just for the views!
After the zip-lining we were so hot that we decided to head to Beach Velika Plaza to cool down and eat some yummy watermelon. There is literally nothing better than eating a huge watermelon when you're dehydrated – delicious!
We spent the evening drinking white wine and watching the Euro's which was really nice and relaxed.
Next stop – Dubrovnik! Crossing the Bosnia and Herzegovina border was fine but also a bit nerve racking! Luckily our rental car company gave us a piece of paper so we didn't have to pay at the border, but we did have to show our passports. Make sure if you do this you're prepared and know all about crossing the border, I was silly and left the passports in the boot of the car so had to run out and get them!
Which town in Croatia is your favourite? I really can't wait to go back!

After testing for the presence of non-random selection bias and the potential endogeneity of some determinants of interest, the probit model results we obtain suggest that the average banking size and the multiple banking relationship phenomenon are statistically significant factors affecting credit rationing, presumably through their impact on the aforementioned banks' capability and incentives. Other potential determinants of banks' incentives to monitor and screen, such as local banking competition and firm' capacity to collateralize, are never significant. However, when we split the sample according to the level of competition in credit markets, we find that the estimated marginal effects of all significant determinants of interest are larger in absolute value than those obtained when using the whole sample.

There's a bright new trend in cosmetic dental offices these days: more people are scheduling appointments because they want to, not because they have to.
In the past 15 years we've seen the development of materials and procedures we could only dream about before. And if you know someone who hasn't been to the dentist in a while, tell them they'll be pleasantly surprised by what they find.
Dental medicine has come a long way from the days when whiskey was the anesthetic of choice. Today's dentistry is virtually painless. Technology, stress control techniques, and some very sophisticated approaches to anesthesia have all contributed to painless treatment - from cleaning to cavity preparation to root canal treatment.
A new discipline has grown up around restorative dentistry procedures. But, does it show in a smile?
The future of dentistry looms exciting, too. Cosmetic laser dentistry, fiber optics, computer-aided design - all are finding applications in dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry - it's a whole new ball game.
Maybe the reason we find an eight-year-old's gapped teeth smile so adorable is...we know it's not permanent. Soon the grown-up teeth will be poking through, clean and new. All part of the mouth's natural evolution.
It's not often that nature gives us a second chance, but when it comes to teeth it does just that. For many children it can be a wake-up call to start taking dental hygiene seriously. As the old saying goes, "God gives you two sets of teeth, but you have to buy the third."
It may be time though to change that outdated piece of wisdom to: "Teeth are like friends...ignore them and their needs and they'll go away. Be kind to them and they'll stick with you forever."
That's why regular hygiene appointments and a gum disease examination are so important. Barring injury, there's simply no reason why most of us should be missing teeth as we grow older. Call it a "10,000 smile checkup," insuring all your parts are in good working order.
Once your cosmetic dentist knows that your teeth are healthy and the gums are sound, he or she can do a little restorative dentistry to evolve your smile to an even higher level. Things like dental bonding to close the gaps…or invisible dental crowns or veneers for front teeth…even teeth bleaching for a truly dazzling and beautiful smile.
Give your cosmetic dentistry professional a call. He or she can help you see to it that your mouth does the job it was intended to for a lifetime. And look drop-dead sensational at the same time!

These days, everyone has a cell phone. This text can be trying on the the cell phone's historical past – & its future – with a view to uncover extra concerning the now-essential telecommunications system.
Cell phones had been born when various cell radio customers determined to make cell phone know-how extra well-liked. Cellular telephones had been initially put in in autos on a everlasting foundation, however later variations of them, which had been named transportables, is also carried. This meant that they could possibly be used as a cell or as moveable two approach radio. Through the early 1940s, Motorola developed a two approach radio in a rucksack, the walkie-talkie, and this was extensively considered one of many first mobiles.
First Era Telephones
The very first cell phones at the moment are known as first era (1G) cell phones. The primary handheld cellphone to be launched on the us market was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X in 1983. Cell phones began to achieve reputation within the eighties with the introduction of cellphones that had been based mostly on mobile networks.
Cell phones had been initially a lot bigger than present ones, & they had been initially designed for set up in autos solely, which is why they had been referred to as the automobile cellphone. These chunky models had been later transformed to be used as transportable telephones the scale of a small suitcase & the remaining is historical past.
Second Era Telephones
Second era, additionally referred to as 2-G, cell telephones had been launched within the nineties. 2-G phone programs had been totally different due to their use of digital circuit switched transmission & the introduction of superior & fast phone to community indicators. The introduction of 2-G programs noticed telephones transfer from historic 1G telephones to small handheld gadgets, which had been way more moveable. This alteration was made attainable by way of enhancements in know-how resembling extra superior batteries & power environment friendly electronics.
The second era cell telephones had a number of benefits over 1G gadgets. These included SMS messaging, which initially turned attainable on GSM networks & ultimately on all digital networks. The very first machine-sent message was despatched in Nice Britain in 1991. The very first person-to-person SMS textual content message was despatched in 1993 in Finland. SMS textual content messaging quickly turned the communication technique of selection & most of the people now desire sending messages to inserting voice calls.
The primary pre-commercial Three-G cell phone community was launched in Japan in Might of 2001. 3G was later commercially launched in Japan on October, 1 2001.
Three-G is the third era of cell phone requirements & know-how, which succeeded 2-G cell know-how. The delivery of Three-G applied sciences enabled community operators together with orange to offer their customers a wider vary of superior providers. This contains broadband web, along with high-tech video calls.
Regardless of the success of Three-G, there has additionally been many complaints about it. These embrace criticism over the price of 3G telephones, an absence of community protection as a result of it is nonetheless a brand new service & the excessive energy utilization of 3G telephones.
Ever because the launch of 3G cell phone know-how, folks have been discussing Four-G. Four-G know-how will signify the way forward for cell telephones, producing essentially the most superior handsets & finest providers so far. In precise reality, one of many subsequent providers to be developed is considered the dwell streaming of radio and tv reveals to 3G handsets is & companies together with Disney & Actual lately introduced that they're going to offer providers like these.

Wireless Application Protocol
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technical standard for accessing information over a mobile wireless network. A WAP browser is a web browser for mobile devices such as mobile phones that uses the protocol.
Before the introduction of WAP, mobile service providers had limited opportunities to offer interactive data services, but needed interactivity to support Internet and web applications such as:
- Email by mobile phone
- Tracking of stock-market prices
- Sports results
- News headlines
- Music downloads
The Japanese i-mode system offers another major competing wireless data protocol.
- WAP supports most wireless networks. These include CDPD, CDMA, GSM, PDC, PHS, TDMA, FLEX, ReFLEX, iDEN, TETRA, DECT, DataTAC, and Mobitex.
- WAP is supported by all operating systems. Ones specifically engineered for handheld devices include PalmOS, EPOC, Windows CE, FLEXOS, OS/9, and JavaOS.
WAP is supported by all operating systems. Ones specifically engineered for handheld devices include PalmOS, EPOC, Windows CE, FLEXOS, OS/9, and JavaOS.
WML language
WAP is not a language and therefore is not comparable to HTML, however, most WAP implementations use the language WML. Although WAP supports HTML and XML, the WML language (an XML application) is specifically devised for small screens and one-hand navigation without a keyboard. WML is scalable from two-line text displays up through graphic screens found on items such as smart phones and communicators. WAP also supports WMLScript. It is similar to JavaScript, but makes minimal demands on memory and CPU power because it does not contain many of the unnecessary functions found in other scripting languages.
WAP and WML lack good standards specifications, so there are variances across the industry. Certain WML web pages may render best under specific manufacturers phones, which site to which phone varies.
Technical specifications
The WAP standard described a protocol suite allowing the interoperability of WAP equipment, and software with different network technologies, such as GSM and IS-95 (also known as CDMA).
|Wireless Application Environment (WAE)
|WAP protocol suite
|Wireless Session Protocol (WSP)
|Wireless Transaction Protocol (WTP)
|Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS)
|Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP)
|*** Any Wireless Data Network ***
The bottom-most protocol in the suite, the WAP Datagram Protocol (WDP), functions as an adaptation layer that makes every data network look a bit like User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to the upper layers by providing unreliable transport of data with two 16-bit port numbers (origin and destination). All the upper layers view WDP as one and the same protocol, which has several "technical realizations" on top of other "data bearers" such as SMS, USSD, etc. On native IP bearers such as GPRS, UMTS packet-radio service, or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) on top of a circuit-switched data connection, WDP is in fact exactly UDP.
Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS), an optional layer, provides a public-key cryptography-based security mechanism similar to TLS.
Wireless transaction protocol (WTP) provides transaction support (reliable request/response) adapted to the wireless world. WTP supports more effectively than Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) the problem of packet loss, which occurs commonly in 2G wireless technologies in most radio conditions, but is misinterpreted by TCP as network congestion.
Finally, one can think of WSP initially as a compressed version of HTTP.
This protocol suite allows a terminal to transmit requests that have an HTTP or HTTPS equivalent to a WAP gateway; the gateway translates requests into plain HTTP.
Wireless Application Environment (WAE)
The WAE space defines application-specific markup languages.
For WAP version 1.X, the primary language of the WAE is Wireless Markup Language (WML). In WAP 2.0, the primary markup language is XHTML Mobile Profile.
A re-engineered 2.0 version was released in 2002. It uses a cut-down version of XHTML with end-to-end HTTP, dropping the gateway and custom protocol suite used to communicate with it. A WAP gateway can be used in conjunction with WAP 2.0; however, in this scenario, it is used as a standard proxy server. The WAP gateway's role would then shift from one of translation to adding additional information to each request. This would be configured by the operator and could include telephone numbers, location, billing information, and handset information.
Mobile devices process XHTML Mobile Profile (XHTML MP), the markup language defined in WAP 2.0. It is a subset of XHTML and a superset of XHTML Basic. A version of cascading style sheets (CSS) called WAP CSS is supported by XHTML MP.
Commercial status
The adoption of WAP in the United States suffered because many cell phone providers required separate activation and additional fees for data support, and also because telecommunications companies have sought to limit data access to only approved data providers operating under license of the signal carrier.
In recognition of the problem, the FCC issued an order on 31 July 2007 which mandated that licensees of the 22-megahertz wide "Upper 700 MHz C Block" spectrum will have to implement a wireless platform which allows customers, device manufacturers, third-party application developers, and others to use any device or application of their choice when operating on this particular licensed network band.
Spin-off technologies
Spin-off technologies, such as Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), a combination of WAP and SMS, have further driven the protocol. An enhanced appreciation of device diversity, supported by the concomitant changes to WAP content to become more device-specific rather aiming at a lowest common denominator, allowed for more usable and compelling content. As a result, the adoption rate of WAP technology is rising.

To the Editor:
The reason Neil Genzlinger received so little response to his request for a tale of how people spent their windfall is simple: people don't like to write letters. They are challenged by the concept of telling a story on paper.
Years ago -- well before the days of E-mail -- my husband and I had started a joke chain letter. All the person had to do was send a joke to the person at the top of the list. We gave these out to our friends -- literate, educated people. Not one responded. We concluded that, no matter how literate, people do not take the time to write.
Oh, people are sending out E-mails right and left these days. But my observation is that most people send E-mail from work, as a form of procrastination.
Perhaps next time Mr. Genzlinger tries his experiment, he should include a form where respondents can check off little boxes next to their answers: I gave it to charity; I gave it to my kids, and so on. Including a pencil might help.

Oil Pulling
A few months back, I kept seeing the headline "oil pulling". At first I had NO clue what it was, I thought it had something to do with a car or the earth. 😉 One day, I finally decided to click and was surprised at what I saw….
I was all over it the topic and read multiple articles about oil pulling. There were mixed reviews: some called it a folk remedy with no proof, while others swore it was a miraculous health remedy.
I weighed the pros and cons, and there really were no cons. It was said to be harmless. What was the worst that could happen if I tried? Well, other than wasting 20 minutes of my life, nothing!
Below are the basics of what I have learned about oil pulling.
What is Oil Pulling?
Oil pulling is is an ancient remedy used for cleansing your body of harmful toxins and bacteria. It started in India thousands of years ago and was introduced to the US in the 90's. There are many testimonials about how oil pulling has helped improve dental health and other issues such as acne and headaches. The main claim, among other many potential health benefits, is that it improves the health of your teeth and gums by capturing and removing bacteria and plaque.
What are the prospective benefits of oil pulling?
*whiter, more polished teeth
*TMJ relief (jaw pain)
*cavity prevention
*stronger teeth and gums; gingivitis prevention
*bad breath remedy
*headache relief
*skin clarification
*hangover remedy
*natural, harmless detoxification
What kind of oil is used for Oil Pulling?
In my research, I found that the two best oils available for oil pulling are sesame oil and unrefined coconut oil. Be sure not to confuse the sesame oil with "toasted" sesame oil, which is a specially oil used for flavor in Asian foods.
When and how do I use the oil?
Oil Pulling is said to be most effective first thing in the morning. Before eating or drinking anything, gently swish 1 tbs of oil around your mouth. It doesn't have to be vigorous to where your jaw and cheeks become fatigued afterwards. Gently move the oil around your mouth in order to make it through your teeth and around your gums.
How long do I "swish"?
It is recommended that you swish for 15-20 minutes. Supposedly, 15-20 minutes is long enough to remove the toxins from your mouth. Keeping the oil in your mouth for too long can have an adverse effect. If you swish for more than about 20 minutes, it is said that the bacteria can be re-released back into your mouth. So play it safe with a 20 minute time cap (you will probably be ready to spit by then anyway 😉 )
What do I do with the oil when I am done?
Whatever you do, do NOT spit it down the drain! Be sure to have a container ready to spit in and toss into the trash. I usually have a container with some tissue ready for safe disposal. It can clog your pipes and cause some major problems since the oil does turn into a solid when at room temperature.
My experience:
I started out with sesame oil. I found the flavor a little funky, so I quickly switched to unrefined coconut oil. The texture was weird at first because it starts out as a solid, but it quickly turns to liquid (hang in there!).
At first, swishing for 15 minutes felt like a lifetime. I was watching the clock and could not WAIT to spit it out! After a few times, I got used to it just like anything else. Instead of counting down the seconds to spitting, I just set my alarm while I made the bed and did other morning duties until the time was up.
I did find that the swishing relieved tension in my jaw. I guess the motion loosened it up after clenching at night (which I sometimes do when under stress). It became relaxing to me.
It is unknown to me if it actually pulled out any toxins or cleansed my mouth of harmful bacteria. However, I did notice that my teeth became a little whiter and felt more polished after brushing.
So, I generally oil pull about 3 times a week. I especially do it the morning after a cheat meal (or wine). I also make sure to oil pull if I feel a cold coming on just incase it really does get rid of bacteria and viruses…it can't hurt! If nothing else, I can see the whitening benefits and I'm happy with a brighter smile! 🙂

BEFORE AND AFTER FOOTAGE! With about 20 kilos to lose, I lastly gave Slim Quick a try to determined to add my Slim Quick evaluate to the rising variety of Slim Quick critiques out there. If you're questioning if Slim Fast actually works-I am with you-so let's find out collectively. Follow my journey as I put up frequent updates about my progress, together with pictures.
He has had three MRI's now (as well as another appointments to test for reflux, fluid on the brain and so on), and we had been instructed that the chance of Tomas ever having some muscle management/continence was very slim. It was then that we determined that we would not go forward with the anoplasty/reversal, as we are afraid of making the incorrect determination for him, and if he will have little muscle control anyway, we determine it can await him to make that selection.
Hi Kathy. I had my gallbladder out -keyhole surgical procedure, 6 weeks in the past. Following the op I had large belly pain. Initially I thought something had gone incorrect with the surgery, nevertheless it was my bowel. paralytic ilieus, where the bowel stops working. It continued for about 5 days. Physician assured me it would recover and finally it did. The bowel is a sensitive organ and when it's uncovered to air this can occur. Largely fantastic now though. All the very best together with your surgery.
Appreciated the information!! I had surgical procedure on Nov 12th. The pain (from surgical procedure) was gentle in comparison to having a foul gallbladder, but my tummy still ouches a bit. My eating regimen consists of yogurt, toast, and oatmeal. I tried eggs, oh bad alternative!! The BRAT eating regimen is a great instrument to have when you are recovering from surgical procedure. Good luck everyone!!
I also do not agree with feeding a child meat of any type earlier than 12 months. Their digestive methods haven't yet developed enough to properly digest meat at this age. Maintain feeding them the grains, fruit and veggies until they actually have their teeth. Just because you can buy meat in child food jars doesn't suggest it needs to be introduced too soon.

Smart Toilet Prevents Water Pollution in Disaster Areas
War or natural disasters often destroy or cause major damage to sanitary systems. The destruction of waste treatment systems can increase the risk of disease and even death among disaster survivors.
Some people dig holes in the ground that serve as individual toilets. However, micro-organisms from human waste can reach water supplies and cause cholera or other diseases.
A United Nations team is now developing a toilet for disaster areas. The experimental project is called eSOS -- for the Emergency Sanitation Operation System. The system is lightweight and operates on sunlight power.
Scientists are working on the toilet at the UN's Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands. Damir Brdjanovic is heading the project. He says his team hopes to bring disaster assistance into the 21st century.
The eSOS system has several 'smart' features, such as a self-contained energy supply unit. Another is a global positioning system sensor, very much like the GPS equipment in some vehicles. There is also equipment that measures waste buildup. All of the information from the toilet system can be shared with an emergency organization center. Officials at the center can then identify the needs of an affected disaster area. The eSOS system can also recycle liquid wastes into water that can be used for farming. This involves treating the urine with the help of a membrane bioreactor system.
The smart toilet is being tested. Damir Brdjanovic and his team plan to test the toilet at refugee camp in the Philippines later this year. The developers hope this disaster relief will save the lives of many refugees.
I'm Jonathan Evans.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
How do I use the Krak Pot/Alchenomicon?
Can someone help me figure out whats wrong with the Krak Pot? I obtained it, have lots of ingredients/reagents, but cannot seem to select them to make a new item. I go to Battle Records>Alchenomicon, select the proper recipe (for example Strong Medicine), and cant do anything. I have 2 Medicinal herbs, which is what the recipe says I need. When I have Strong Medicine selected, pressing the A button does nothing.
What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated...
kaga1970 - 6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
You can't do it through Battle Records. In DQIX, the Krak Pot stays at a static location, which is in Quester's Rest. You can go and talk to him there to perform alchemy, either by selecting a recipe, or trying your own hand at it.
There's no big wagon to lug him around like in DQVIII... though he wasn't animated, and without how much stuff your bag carries, I guess you could of stuffed him in. But meh.

Vibrating Feeders supplied by Tekforce Engineering have been built and supported in Australia for over 60-years.
Over this time Syntron feeders have proven to be reliable in industry with a comprehensive range of Vibratory units for both the light and heavy bulk material sectors.
Multiple feeders are currently in use in mining applications and heavy-industry throughout Australia.
Feeders are well suited for moving high-tonnage Iron ore, coal and free flowing materials.
Tekforce provide a series of Feeders, Screens, Conveyors, Stockpile Reclaimers, Scrapings-conveyors and Bin Vibrators, which are fully supported in Australia.
Electromagnetic models are recommended over mechanical versions when moving harsh materials such as iron ore and coal, especially in applications which require high tonnage at controlled feed rates.
Each unit is capable of withstanding large head loads beneath storage hoppers, they are quieter to operate and very reliable when comparing against mechanical models.
Mechanical models are equipped with multiple drive components and wearing parts, whereas magnetic models have near zero moving parts which account for fewer potential breakdown stoppages.
It is important that storage hoppers and flow control gates are designed correctly to allow the feeder to operate efficiently.
Feeders can be designed for mounting a range of manual or automatically opening control gates at the load point.
Electromagnetic and mechanical Vibrating troughs are available in carbon or stainless steel construction and fitted with hardened wear liners for abrasive materials.
Troughs are supplied as either flat tray, tubular or customised profiles in stainless or carbon steels.
Feeders are normally mounted with supporting slings over head, such as beneath hoppers or available as floor mounted units.
Electromagnetic drive assemblies are mounted beneath the feeder as standard or available with the drive mounted above the trough as option.
Additionally to conveying bulk dry materials, de-watering feeders are available for separating liquids from solids.
De-watering feeders are typically fitted with steel or poly trays which are interchangeable with various aperture screens.
Both mechanical and electromechanical feeders require an electrical controller to allow variation for the material feed rate.
Light-duty vibrating feeders generally require 240 volt supply while heavier capacity models require 415 volt – 3 phase supply.
Dependent on the circumstance, feeders can be operated manually by a hand operated potentiometer, or automatically controlled by sensors, variable speed device, or remote operation.
Standard model units are available as stock items or special options manufactured to customer requirements.
Tekforce welcome your call for product assistance or catalogue requests.

Rennes went top of Ligue 1 on Saturday evening, but Nancy and Lens failed to ease their relegation fears.
Arles-Avignon 1–1 Nancy
Racing Club de Lens 1–1 Auxerre
Stade Rennais 1-0 Monaco
Sochaux 2–1 Valenciennes
Toulouse 1–0 Caen
Montpellier 1-2 Olympique Lyonnais
Sunday, December 5
Lille 6-3 Lorient
Nice 1-0 Olympique de Marseille
Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Stade Brestois
Saint-Etienne 2-2 Girondins de Bordeaux
Arles-Avignon 1–1 Nancy
Nancy had to come from behind to salvage a point against Ligue 1 whipping boys Arles.
Yet to win at home all season going into Saturday's game, ACA opened the scoring after just eight minutes. Jamel Ait Ben Idir set free Camel Meriem, who in turn fed Franck Dja Djedje, who clipped the ball over Damien Gregorini and into the net.
The hosts allowed Nancy in to level much too easily. A long clearance was headed forward by Benjamin Gavanon. This unlocked the entire home defence, with Youssouf Hadji outstripping Alvaro Meija to score.
It was Faruk Hadzibegic's side who looked the more dangerous as time slipped away, with Kaba Diawara hitting the post, but they were unable to find the winning goal that would have rekindled some hope that they can beat the drop.
Racing Club de Lens 1–1 Auxerre
Lens failed to ease their problems at the foot of the table as Auxerre struck late on to salvage a point.
Alaeddine Yahia enjoyed a terrific opening 30 minutes, capping it with the opening goal of the game, when he headed in from Kanga Akale's free kick. Previously, he had made an inspired challenge to deny Dennis Oliech a certain goal.
With four minutes of normal time remaining, AJA benefitted from a corner incorrectly awarded as Jean-Pascal Mignot headed home.
Ten minutes later after the opener Eduardo had the ball in the net but wasn't allowed to celebrate as he was flagged for offside.
Auxerre's best chance came midway through the second half when Alain Traore set up Julien Querica, who failed to find the target when given rare space by les Sang et Or's rearguard.
Yahia would charge onto another corner kick, but his header flashed wide of goal, and this miss would be swiftly punished at the opposite end.
Sochaux 2–1 Valenciennes
The remarkable form of Sochaux continued as they held off a Valenciennes fight back to secure three more points.
Carlao was the unlikely scorer of the opening goal. There was nothing unusual about the provider as Ligue 1's top assist man Marvin Martin picked out the defensive midfielder from a free kick, and the Brazilian did the rest.
The hosts have the strongest home record in all of Le Championnat and doubled their advantage early in the second half when a period of intense pressure ended with Modibo Maiga rattling by Nicolas Penneteau after being released by Ideye Brown.
VA hadn't really been in the game since a third minute effort from Jose Saez was ruled out for offside, but they came back into the game when Carlos Sanchez pounced on a poor clearance to drive his side back into the game.
Toulouse 1–0 Caen
Caen's woeful run of form continued in Toulouse, where a Federico Santander goal in second half minutes the out-of-form Normandy club.
The first half was rather evenly contested but le Tefece started the second period much the better of the two teams and moved ahead through the young Paraguayan striker on 64 minutes. Some great enterprise from Adrian Gunino was the catalyst for his fellow South American's goal.
Moussa Sissoko had previously had a header clawed away by Alexis Thebault, while Caen's best chance arrived through Romain Hamouma, who smacked an effort against Mathieu Valverde when clean through on goal.
Lille 6-3 Lorient
Lille's encounter with Lorient was delayed for nearly 24 hours due to snow in the north of France on Saturday night, but it was a match worth waiting from the home side's point of view.
The action started with Kevin Gameiro striking from a Francis Coquelin release after seven minutes to put the visitors ahead, but Lille were quickly level through Moussa Sow, who was assisted by the excellent Yohan Cabaye.
Sow slid in to strike LOSC's second as Fabien Audard allowed a rebound to squirt out in front of goal, but FCL were level on the stroke of half-time when Gameiro finished superbly at the back post.
Until the hour mark the two sides continued to go toe-to-toe. Sow completed his hat-trick with a header just after the break but Lynel Kitambala quickly leveled. Gervinho struck the crucial go-ahead goal just two minutes later, completing a flowing move.
In the last 10 minutes the hosts really exerted themselves, scoring again through Gervinho, who created a late goal for Pierre-Alain Frau. Between these strikes, visiting goalkeeper Audard had been dismissed.
Nice 1-0 Olympique de Marseille
Sunday's derby at the Stade du Ray was a hit and run affair as Nice scored with their only shot on target deep in injury time to defeat Marseille.
If les Aiglons restricted their guests in the first half impressively, OM were much the better side after the break and dominated proceedings almost entirely. David Ospina in the home goal was never seriously exerted as Brandao struggled at the head of the Marseille attack in the absence of Andre-Pierre Gignac.
With time running out Nice launched a swift counterattack that concluded with Chaouki Ben Saada getting to the byline and cutting a pass back to Emerse Fae, who stuck home from close range to leave the guests looking thoroughly disgruntled.
Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Stade Brestois
A fine week for PSG concluded with an emphatic victory over a Brest side known for their steady defense.
Les Parisiens made a quick start to the game and typically it was Nene who smashed them ahead with a volley after only five minutes.
Chances were missed for the home team to move further into the lead but these would be squandered. Brest punished the hosts' profligacy by striking early in the second half through Nolan Roux, who finished emphatically after being ignored by the home defense.
But PSG bounced back from this blow impressively and quickly regained the upper hand when Mathieu Bodmer flung himself at a Ludovic Giuly cross to strike. Giuly capped a fine personal performance by scoring the hosts' third with 15 minutes remaining, driving low into the net.
Saint-Etienne 2-2 Girondins de Bordeaux
Saint-Etienne extended their winless streak to nine games, though they came within seconds of defeating Bordeaux at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Les Girondins didn't make a quick start to the match but moved into the lead when Fahid Ben Kalfallah opened the scoring from a Wendel cross.
Sainte struggled to gain a foothold in the game but were boosted by the half-time interval, which allowed the hosts to collect their thoughts and rally so that Albin Ebondo drove home an angled shot from inside the box. Only moments later American defender Carlos Bocanegra headed a set-piece into the net.
Bordeaux looked to be coming up well short as the hosts missed a series of tremendous chances, though with only a couple of minutes remaining Fernando pounced to glance a header into the net and salvage the guests a somewhat undeserved point.
