1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is geared toward the field of integrated inductors, and particularly toward the construction of an integrated variable inductor whose inductance value may be adjusted on-chip.
2. Description of the Related Art
Inductors are an integral part of discrete radio frequency, RF, circuitry. Particularly, discrete variable inductors are typically used for tuning purposes.
With reference to
Nonetheless, fixed inductors are available in integrated circuits. With reference to
AC current flowing between endpoints A2 and B2 (through spiral 12 on metal layer M6, through via 16, and though lead 18 on metal layer M5) realizes the inductance. The characteristics of the inductor is primarily a function of the type of metal used (Al vs Cu), the number of spirals, the width of the metal lines, the spacing between the metal lines, and the distance between the metal layer M6 and the Si substrate 22. The overall value of inductance L is found by summing the self inductance of each wire segment and the positive and negative mutual inductance between all possible wire segment coupling pairs. The mutual inductance between two wires depends on their angle of intersection, length, and separation. Two wires orthogonal to each other have no mutual inductive coupling since their magnetic flux are not linked together. The current flow directions in the wires determine the sign of the coupling. The coupling is positive if the currents in the two wires are in the same direction and negative if the currents in the two wires are in the opposite direction. Process variations can alter any or all of physical characteristics that determine the inductor's inductance value.
An approach toward mitigating this variation between the designed, i.e. intended, operating point of an integrated inductor and its physical operating point after construction, is to construct a very large inductor whose process variations may be a small percentage of its intended value.
With reference
Nonetheless, the large geographic area (which results in possible large amounts of capacitive coupling) as well as the many variations in their manufacturing process still make inductors highly susceptible to variations in their manufacturing process. As a result, the inductance value (and thereby the resonant operating point) of a physical integrated inductor is likely to differ from its intended operating point.
Nevertheless, on-chip inductors are still used pervasively in integrated RF circuit design applications. The impedance value of the inductor varies with frequency and determines the circuit's operating design point. In various circuit applications (e.g. voltage controlled oscillator, VCO), process parameter variations can alter the design point of a given circuit such that the optimized design value of an inductor turns out not to be an optimized value for the actual circuit application on-chip. Process variations can also alter the inductor's inductance value such that the circuit's physical operating point deviates from the desired design point. In such cases, one would like to modify the inductor impedance characteristics, and thereby the inductance value, on-chip by some noninvasive means. The ability to modify an inductor value on-chip would provide circuit designers a great deal of freedom to optimize their respective circuits post-process.
An object of the invention is to provide an integrated inductor whose inductance value may be adjusted on-chip.
A further object of the present invention is that the inductance of the inductor may be increased or decreased, as needed, using the mechanism of the present invention.
The present invention provides additional, close loop inductors above and/or below a primary inductor. Each of the closed loop inductors may have its closed loop, i.e. closed current path, selectively broken. When the current path of the close loop inductor is not broken, it can generate an induced current due to an applied current in the primary inductor. This establishes a mutual inductance that alters the primary inductor's impedance, and thus alters its operating point. If the inductance value of the primary inductor is lower than desired, then the closed circuit loop of the secondary inductor may be opened, i.e. broken, in which case it will no longer be able to generate a an induced current and thereby eliminate any loading effects on the primary inductor.
Therefore, by placing a second spiral wire (i.e. inductor) above and/or below the primary inductor, a voltage will be induced in the second spiral inductor. This induced voltage will cause current to flow in the second spiral inductor when its two ends are tied together. The induced voltage and subsequent current flow will then induce a voltage in the primary inductor and thus alter its characteristics.
The second spiral inductor can be above or below, or both above and below the primary inductor. In the latter case, the four end-point terminal connections of the two second spiral inductors can be tied together or tied separately together to modify the primary inductance in more than one finite way. With this configuration it is possible to tie together the two pairs of end-point terminals, or to tie all four end-point terminal together in order to modify the primary inductance in finite incremental steps.
Other objects and attainments together with a fuller understanding of the invention will become apparent and appreciated by referring to the following description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings wherein like reference symbols refer to like parts.
An initial attempt toward providing an integrated variable inductor might be to construct an integrated inductor with several fixed tapping points and a switching network, but physical limitations would likely make such a configuration impractical with current manufacturing techniques.
With reference to
A more practical approach to providing an integrated variable inductor is shown in
As shown, secondary inductor Ladj forms a closed loop (with both its ends couple to each other by means of a fuse 4), and is located above Lp to form inductive coupling with Lp. In operation, when an AC current is applied to inductor Lp, an induced current is produced in adjacent inductor Ladj due to inductive coupling. The induced current in Ladj produces an opposing current in Lp due to mutual inductance between both inductors. Thus, Ladj functions as an inductive load on primary inductor Lp, which alters its inductance value L and thereby alters its operating point.
In the present case, adjacent inductor Ladj has the affect of lowering the inductance value of primary inductor Lp. Thus if after construction, it is found that the inductance value L of first inductor Lp needs to be increased, fuse 4 may be broken to break the closed current loop of inductor Ladj. This would prevent current from being induced within Ladj and thereby break the inductive coupling between Ladj and Lp. As a result, the influence of Ladj on the inductance L of inductor Lp would stop and the inductance value of Lp would rise to its inherent value. Fuse 4 may be blown in any of various known methods, such as by application of a laser cutter, or by the application of a high voltage or current from on-chip circuitry, not shown.
In the present case, it is preferred that the adjacent inductor Ladj be located immediately over, or immediately under, Lp without any offset since this would produce the most inductive coupling between both inductors. It is to be understood, however, that an offset may be introduced to alter the amount of inductive coupling between the first inductor Lp and the second inductor Ladj. Of particular interest is that adjacent inductor Ladj can be made to selectively form an unloaded closed loop.
In a preferred embodiment, fuse 4 is replaced by a switching means, such as a transistor, that may be selectively opened or closed by control circuitry (not shown) on the same substrate that holds inductors Lp and Ladj. In this way, the inductance value of first inductor Lp may be selectively altered (increased or decreased) without the need of external aids, such as a laser cutter.
With reference to
As explained above, the adjacent inductor Ladj can be above or below, or both above and below, the primary inductor. If adjacent inductors are place both above and below the primary inductor, the four terminal connections of the two adjacent inductors can be tied together or tied separately together to modify the inductance of the primary inductor in more than one finite way.
With reference to
While the invention has been described in conjunction with several specific embodiments, it is evident to those skilled in the art that many further alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent in light of the foregoing description. Thus, the invention described herein is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, applications and variations as may fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

PHILADELPHIA - The Penn women's basketball team will head to Brown and Yale this weekend in search of its first conference win of the season. Tip-off for both games is 7 p.m.
Penn will look to junior Carrie Biemer for leadership; she leads the Quakers' scoring efforts with 12.9 points per contest. Biemer just tied her career-high tally for points in a game, scoring 28 in Penn's loss to Columbia last weekend.
Freshman Kim Adams has also stepped up her game, leading the team's scoring in a game for the second time this season in last weekend's loss to Cornell.
Penn squares off with the Bears (1-19, 0-6 Ivy) first this weekend. Brown is looking to rebound in the Ivy League from a tough non-conference schedule.
After pulling even with Harvard just before halftime last weekend, the Bears suffered their sixth conference loss as the Crimson surged through the second frame to victory.
Freshman Sadiea Williams netted a career-high 14 points for Brown in the loss and currently leads the team in scoring with 7.2 points per contest.
Teammate Annesley O'Neal is not far behind, averaging 7.1 points per game, while Ashley Alexander dominates the Bears' boards with 5.3 per contest.
Yale (5-14, 3-3 Ivy) is also coming off of a tough weekend in which the team suffered losses at both Dartmouth and Harvard.
Sophomore Melissa Colborne leads the Bulldogs' offense, scoring 14.1 points per game.
The Quakers swept both Brown and Yale in their meetings last year.
Penn will be wearing pink warm-up shirts and pink laces this weekend and throughout the month of February as part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's "Think Pink" project to raise breast cancer awareness. Make sure to check PennAthletics.com for more on Penn's "Think Pink" initiatives.

Prompt removal of dead, broken, and dying
branches not only improves the appearance of the plant but makes early
healing of the wound possible, lessening the chance that harmful decay
organisms may enter.
When a branch crosses the center of the
plant or crosses nearby limbs, remove it while it is still young, for
crossing branches, as they grow, eventually may rub against one another,
causing abrasions that may become focal points of infection. Moreover,
removal of crossing branches increases the attractiveness of the plant.
When two branches grow close together, almost parallel, forming a narrow crotch, one of them should be shortened or removed, because a crotch thus formed is more likely to split than when three or four branches lead out from virtually the same point, or two branches separate at a wide angle. It is especially important to avoid narrow crotches when the branches grow upright, for in the case of young tree if such shoots start near the ground and are not checked a double trunk may result. When such leaders are seen to be developing, the one bearing the best distributed branches should be kept and the other pruned away as far as possible without creating too great a gap in the tree.
Pruning the top of a plant to bring its size into line with the ability of the root system to supply plant nourishment, especially moisture, often promotes the vigor of the plant. In general this should be done with newly planted shrubs and trees. Whenever roots have been cut or disturbed extensively, such pruning should be undertaken to preserve the balance between top and roots. It is especially important with collected wild plants, great portions of the roots of which are usually left in the woods from which they were taken. Prune to maintain as nearly as possible the natural form of the plant. It is better to thin out entire branches than to shorten their ends.
If a plant does not show lack of vigor,
or root destruction is not strongly indicated, do not prune severely to
promote extra vigor. Pruning merely for pruning's sake may damage or destroy
a plant, and even when done remedially there is always a possibility that
the tree may never recover completely from severe treatment.
The use of blocks in cavity filling assures
that the trunk is flexible. Flexibility is highly important for in the
face of high winds a tree must be free to sway and ride the blast. Any
point of resistance within the trunk becomes the focus of greatest stress
and strain; and if the trunk is too stiff at the filled cavity something
often snaps.
Cavity fillings prepared in early spring have actually fallen out the following autumn. A walk along a tree-lined street often demonstrates the effectiveness of various cavity if solid, they will show openings on their sides, but if blocks, they are healing well and the wound is closing.
Pruning plant for form
If a plant does not fit its surroundings, attempts to prune it severely to proper size and shape usually produce disagreeable results; it is better to dig the misfit out and put an appropriate plant in its place. Pruning for form means the light trimming that is needed to maintain the natural outline of plants in informal plantings and the frequent and severe pruning and shearing that is required to shape plants to formal design, as is the case with hedges.
In naturalistic plantings remember that the plant is most attractive in its natural form, although it may sometimes need some help to attain and emphasize its characteristic shape; this may entail the removal of wild-running branches, or thinning to reduce the number of branches.
Evergreens in informal plantings often require light pruning to maintain their natural outline in the artificial situation to which they are removed. Moreover they may become scraggly and open, al- though they grew compactly when young. To cure this, the longer branches may be cut back at appropriate forks inside the crown, thus checking the fastest-growing shoots and allowing the remaining limbs to branch out and make the plant denser. If taller growth and maintenance of symmetrical form is sought, however, the central upright shoot must never be cut away.
If the leader has been destroyed, however, it is possible to develop a new one. Tie firmly to the main axis of the plant a strong, light pole reaching a foot or more above the point at which the new leader is needed. Select from the branches at the base of the destroyed leader the strongest, best placed one, and tie it to the pole in as upright a position as possible. Eventually it should become set in this position and aligned as the main axis of the tree.
When evergreens grow too large for the space in which they stand, they may be held within limits by removing the leaders and pruning the side branches back to the nearest crotch, but the gardener must remember that if this treatment is applied repeatedly the plants will become highly formal, losing their natural outline characteristics. Care must be taken not to remove too much foliage since with many coniferous species new foliage does not develop on the parts of branches at which needles have died.
Except when used in highly formal designs, deciduous shrubs should be pruned merely to maintain the natural shape and outline. Unless the plant must be tailored to fit a set pattern, its natural appearance is most desirable.
With hedges, smooth formality is achieved by shearing them once or twice a year, and even more frequently. Informal effects are obtained by cutting away branches that are growing too far out of line. These should be cut away at a crotch.
Pruning for flowers
Woody plants may be pruned to achieve a maximum of bloom or to develop larger clusters or greater size and quality of individual flowers. Those grown for flowers should generally be pruned after they have finished blooming and before new flower buds form.
Spring-flowering plants form their flower buds in late summer or early fall of the year before they bloom. Summer and autumn flowering plants form their flower buds early in the year in which they bloom. Thus, spring and early summer flowering plants are pruned while in active growth, and late summer and autumn flowering plants may be pruned any time after blooming and before growth starts the next spring. Hardy late bloomers may be pruned at any time in this period, but the tender ones are best left unpruned until spring. Tender plants which are pruned may suffer winter kill farther back from the ends of cut branches than from uncut ones.
Flowering trees and most shrubs require the removal only of weak or crossing branches and of wood which no longer bears flowers freely. Shrubs which develop several shoots from the ground demand the removal of the older ones from time to time, the intervals being governed by the kind of plant, its age, and the conditions in which it grows.
Removing the older branches or the stem
to the ground helps to keep a flowering shrub young and vigorous and to
maintain it within bounds. In some species no shoots are allowed to grow
more than 7 years old, others 10 years, while in many only 5 years is
allowed. This control is determined by the flowering habits of the species,
the best age of the wood for flowering, and the objective effect sought
by the landscape designer. Whatever the governing factor, controlled age
of shoots is a practical form of shrub rejuvenation.
Winter pruning
Wounds remain dormant and do not heal until spring. In the process of healing they also induce the formation of adventitious buds near the wound. These buds sprout and develop into wood growth, a process which gave rise to the maxim, "If you want wood, prune in winter." Winter pruning also involves a double operation, since winter kill cannot be anticipated and a second pruning must be undertaken when the tree begins to sprout and reveals winter injuries.
Early spring pruning
Healing is fast when pruning is done at this time but there is an excessive development of adventitious buds resulting in sucker growth not only around the wounds but within the entire tree because of the great circulation of food in the sap and the general urge of growth characteristic of spring. There is also the likelihood of "bleeding," or excess flowing of sap, with some species, which not only wastes valuable nutritive substance prepared by the plant but provides a possible attraction for injurious insects and fungi which may become serious. Maples especially are bleeders, but wounds on trees with resinous sap, such as coniferous evergreens, do not bleed and often the dried sap provides an effective covering for the wound.
Late spring pruning
This is an excellent time for pruning since wounds heal well. Care must be taken, however, not to remove too much foliage since this may expose the base of the tree, depriving it of the natural shade which provides an umbrella over the sur- rounding earth, decreasing evaporation of soil water and protecting against drying out. Exposure caused by removal of too much foliage often causes a severe shock to some species of plants.
Summer pruning
Wounds may heal slowly but few if any adventitious buds form in the new callous tissue developing around the cuts. Moreover, the extra food within the tree system is utilized more readily for the production of flower buds instead of wood buds. Again, too much foliage must not be removed, but more may be taken off at this time than during the late spring pruning period for it is during the hot spells of June and July, especially if they are dry months, that such excessive stripping of foliage is serious.
Fall pruning
This is the best time in many ways since the pruning does not shock the tree severely. Limbs that are weak or bad may readily be removed; they may be lost anyway if weighted heavily with snow or ice during the winter. Wounds may harden and heal slightly, but they do not heal completely before spring. While adventitious buds form, their development is not in as great quantity as results from winter pruning. The disadvantage of fall pruning is that a second pruning will have to be undertaken the following spring to remove winter kill.
How to prune
Although it can be used only on comparatively small branches, a sharp knife is the best instrument for pruning. Pruning shears crush the branch and slow the healing process. Two-bladed hedge shears are better than pruning or clipping shears. Saws are necessary for bigger cuts, but only fine-toothed ones should be used.
A properly made cut heals most promptly. In cutting twigs make a diagonal stroke starting just about even with the lower edge of the bud and ending just above it. If the cut is too close to the bud, the branch may die because the adjacent parts dry out. If too much wood is left above it, the wound cannot heal and the twig beyond the bud dies.
If you are removing some of the current season's growth to control a vigorously growing plant which has no side branches to which to cut, make the cut toward a strong bud pointing in the direction which you desire the new growth to take.
In removing stubs or larger limbs, make the cut at a crotch almost paralleling and near to the supporting branch. The cut should be made through the collar, or swelling, at the base of the branch; if the cut is made beyond the collar the wound in many cases will not heal.
Be sure that bark is not torn away from the tree by the removal of branches. This may be avoided, in the case of a larger limb, by making four cuts, the first two to remove the limb and the other two to remove the stub which remains. Determine the place at which the final cut will be made, the spot at which the stub will be removed. Then make the first cut 1 or 2 feet out on the limb from the lower side, the distance depending on the size of the limb. This cut should go about halfway through the limb. Make the second cut 3 or 4 inches out, from the top side. When this cut reaches a sufficient depth the limb will break off and no bark will be torn from the tree. Next, make the first cut to remove the stub by cutting through the bark into the branch, from the lower side. Then make the final cut from above, in line with the preceding cut. If these two cuts are properly made and meet, the stub comes off without tearing the bark below. To handle the stub with greatest ease, make it as short as may be done safely to prevent tearing of the bark when the branch is being cut. It may be necessary in some cases to split away the stub a portion at a time to make its support easier as the operation nears completion.
Tearing of bark also may be prevented in removing a limb by propping up the limb or supporting it with a rope. Stubs must be removed because they are harmful to the health of the plant, rotting quickly and allowing decay to enter trunk or limbs.
Unless bleeding of the wound forces a delay, cuts should be treated with a protective material as soon as they are made. One of the best is ordinary shellac, applied generously and immediately around the cut edge of the bark and covering the edge about an inch each way. House paint, creosote, or some good preservative should then be applied to the central surface of the cut, overlapping the shellac but not reaching the bark. Repaint the cut surface whenever necessary until new bark grows over the cut surface.

Disclose.tv - Documentary Andy Warhol - Part I - 2006
From Wikipedia
Andrew Warhola
Part One Of Two
August 6, 1928 - February 22, 1987More commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the expression "15 minutes of fame."
Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was the third child of his parents, Andrej Warhola and Ulja. His parents were working-class immigrants of Rusyn ethnicity from Miková, Austro-Hungarian Empire (now in northeastern Slovakia). Warhol's father immigrated to the US in 1914, and his mother joined him in 1921, after the death of Andy Warhol's grandparents. Warhol's father worked in a coal mine. The family lived at 55 Beelen Street and later at 3252 Dawson Street in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. The family was Byzantine Catholic and attended St. John Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church. Andy Warhol had two older brothers, John (Ján) and Paul (Pavol), who were born in today's Slovakia. Paul's son, James Warhola, became a successful children's book illustrator.
In third grade, Warhol had St. Vitus' dance, a nervous system disease that causes involuntary movements of the extremities, which is believed to be a complication of scarlet fever and causes skin pigmentation blotchiness. He became somewhat of a hypochondriac, developing a fear of hospitals and doctors. Often bed-ridden as a child, he became an outcast among his school-mates and bonded strongly with his mother. When in bed he drew, listened to the radio and collected pictures of movie stars around his bed. Warhol later described this period as very important in the development of his personality, skill-set and preferences.

Based on World's Dumbest Rebrand
Absolutely mind-boggling – changing their name from Buy.com to Rakuten.com (and by the way, I had to recheck the page for the correct way to spell it – a reason in iteself that the rebrand is off to a bad start).
One commenter likened the renaming to Google rebranding Urchin to Google Analytics. While I think this comment is irrelevant and ignorant, it leads to a larger thought – maybe the folks at the company formerly known as buy.com have something up their sleeve? Weirder things have happened with online marketplaces and I'm anxious to see the rest of the plan.

If you feel glamorous, you definitely look glamorous.
~Scarlett Johansson
The idea for this artwork came to me when I saw a photo of Marilyn Monroe and decided to try to create a similar artwork but with a modern actress. I chose to model the my starlet after Scarlett Johansson because I think she's the most glamorous actress in the current Hollywood spectrum. She's also one of my favorite actresses. It has been a long time since I created any portrait style renders so this was a great opportunity to correct that. I spent quite a lot of time tweaking each of the details until I got it to look of every element "just right". I'm quite happy with the way it has turned out even though it took nearly two weeks to complete.
Most of my artworks in the past several years have been rectangular (all with a 4:5 ratio) but starting this year, I'm changing that. Now, while I'll still be rendering scenes with standard print sizes in mind, I will use a canvas size and ratio that best suits the artwork. That all starts with this artwork which is square (1:1 ratio) and will be printed as such.

With just a few easy home improvement projects, you can make a huge difference in the overall appearance and value of your property. You can actually raise the selling price of your home by quite a bit just by working around the house. Here are some tips for home improvement ideas which can get you off to a good start.
Drywall Mud
Using texturing techniques add interest to your walls and cover blemishes. The process of texturing is not difficult. Once the drywall mud is troweled, you simply grab a brush with bristles, a sponge or an empty plastic bag, and then use whatever you grab to create texture on the drywall mud by dabbing.
Add an unusual addition to your home to give it character. For example, you may want to create a library that has lots of built in bookshelves, or to add a wine cellar to your basement. These kinds of exceptional additions will improve your home's resale value and also really impress guests whenever you invite company over.
Vinyl is one of the best materials that you can use for tiling a floor. Vinyl is very durable and strong. It is resistant to water and easy to put in. The vinyl tiles can be bought as a single sheet or as a tile set.
Think about adding coordinated metal fixtures to bathrooms to make them look more modern without spending too much. You can find matching fixtures in stores or online. These include towel racks, showers curtains, toilet paper holders and other things. Many home improvement stores offer these fixtures as part of a complete, coordinating package, that can easily be installed in a single day.
Don't get too carried away demolishing everything in your path when you begin a project. You should always check the structure behind a wall or a cabinet before you tear it down. Avoid expensive repair bills from damaged electrical wiring by carefully examining the area first.
Cover electrical outlets with aluminum foil prior to painting your walls. It's easier to use aluminum foil, and it protects the outlets. Cleanup is easy with this method. Make sure your paint is fully dry before removing the foil.
When attempting to sell a house, the look of the bathroom is incredibly important. Most rooms are easily personalized by the buyer once they have moved in, but it is important for the bathroom to shine if you want to get your house sold. Install new sinks and tubs. If you have linoleum flooring, install tiles instead.
A house that is well groomed and has a pleasant view may have more market value than other homes. Remember though, that extra cost may not be an investment, but just a premium charge for aesthetic pleasures. Other buyers might not like the view as much as you, and don't want to pay more for it.
Using the right type of lighting in any room makes a big difference in how it looks. A bright room normally is very inviting towards anyone who enters the home. Adding a secondary light fixture will help brighten up a room. Adding light to a previously dark space can improve the entire house.
If you have extra building materials you can put them in your ceiling or floor. It's easy to keep things like two by fours and pieces of molding out of harm's way with this method. Just nail some furring strips across exposed joists and slide the material in.
If you are thinking about adding a wood fireplace to your home, you may want to reconsider. Although it looks great, a lot of the heat escapes through the chimney, so it is not very practical. In addition to heat loss up the chimney, fires require oxygen to burn, and that oxygen needs to come from within your home.
Caned chair seats are naturally subject to sagging as time passes. There is a simple trick that you can use to repair the caning. Using a sponge, wet the underside of the sagging caning on the chair. Make sure to use warm water. Let it dry overnight. You should keep doing this until you have fixed the caning.
Add some bling to a boring corner by hanging big costume jewelry pieces on a coat rack. Do not display your high-priced or irreplaceable jewelry. Not only will your jewelry be displayed like the art that it is, but it will also stay neat and tidy. Take out the pieces of jewelry you wear rather often and put those in a handy spot.
Plan your next home improvement project. Procrastinating until start day can be disastrous, as it can result in hasty decisions and bad judgments. Planning will help your project reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Table Space
Use a floor lamp in place of table lamps to free up space on your end tables and night stands. Floor lamps could be moved around, on the other hand, table lamps use a lot of table space. This will free up table space, and many floor lamps have nice designs. Choose one that fits in with the overall design of your room.
Point your outside accent lighting downwards for better illumination of your pathways. Such lights can mimic natural sources like moonlight or dusk if they're placed properly, such as high up in a big tree. You can also use this magnificent lighting effect to highlight lawn furniture or statues.
Make sure to take full advantage of your home's outdoor space. You can use an area of your backyard as an extension of your living space. It is the ideal place to have a cookout or to just relax after a trying day at work.
It is very important that the contractor estimates you get are all based on the exact same work to be done. Be sure to submit the same list of repairs and improvements to each contractor with no changes or additions. If you make changes before you get the quotes, it will be much harder to compare the costs.
In summary, home improvement doesn't have to be difficult. A good plan makes for the best home improvement jobs. Implement the methods described here and get started with your next project.

Something that never fails to get play in the media these days are claims that violence, nudity and gore in movies and video games are desensitizing my generation. For example, earlier this year the National Rifle Association made headlines when they attempted to pin some mass shooting in the United States to the desensitizing effect of movies and games. Academics have picked up on these notions, and simple searches on academic websites bring forth studies that both confirm and reject the idea that simulated violence begets actual violence. I am not here to advocate for either side of this theory. Instead, I have a new theory to put forward; if my generation actually is being desensitized to an "abnormal" level, it has more to do with our interconnectedness than anything else. The reason? Unlike all generations before us we are truly aware of how horrific the world is, and we learn this at ever younger ages.
BREAKING: Afghan police say suicide attack outside market in east kills nine school pupils, one policeman. -MM
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 3, 2013
Take myself as an example; I am a heavy user of social media, I constantly have an internet connected device on my person, and I am a wholehearted news junkie. As a result I follow many news organizations on Twitter. One of those is America's Associated Press. And if you look at the Tweets from the Associated Press just from the last six hours you will find out that a suicide bomb has killed at least nine school children and a policeman in Afghanistan, a fire at a poultry farm in China has killed 43 people, and 12 bodies (suspected to be immigrants from Myanmar) have been found off the coast of Thailand. But this is just from one news outlet, and, lets be honest, despite all these tragedies this is a light day. In the last six hours there have not been any massive natural disasters, or a disaster on the scale (measured in human lives) of the recent building collapse in Bangladesh. The Associated Press is also a responsible news agency, so there aren't gruesome pictures of all these calamities sprayed across my Twitter feed.
12 bodies of Myanmar immigrants found in sea off Thailand after boat sinks: apne.ws/13ytRji – VW
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 3, 2013
But now let's think of the worst case scenario. If you are a member of my generation living in an OECD country, chances are you are also a heavy social media user, and also constantly have an internet connected device on your person. Now, think of that picture of the man with bloody hands who allegedly butchered that soldier in Woolwich. That picture was on social media long before it was on newspapers. That picture and that video was doing the rounds almost as quickly as the British News channels could get it on their air. On that day, even if you are not a news junkie, and even if you are not a follower of news organizations and other news junkies, chances are you were exposed to that picture or at least the horrific details of that killing. Maybe in real time. You might have seen it on Facebook, you might have gotten an email about it. You might have seen it inadvertently while you were trying to google pictures of cats. But the chances are you saw it. And this is repeated all day, every day. When a tornado swept through Oklahoma a few weeks ago, I found out about it within minutes. I was in a German class, and all of a sudden our class stopped our lesson and started talking about the reports that there were children trapped in a school in the path of the tornado. When bombs went off at the Boston Marathon, again I found out about it within minutes through blast emails and Twitter. How can violent video games and movies compare to this horrible reality?
BREAKING: Fire at poultry farm in northeastern Chinese province of Jilin kills at least 43 people.
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 3, 2013
The simple fact is my generation is exposed to this 24/7 and from a very young age. We can't ignore it. Even if we don't directly subscribe to news outlets, whenever something massive happens everyone starts retweeting it/sharing it, and talking about it. How can this not be serving to desensitize my generation? Imagine what would have happened if a 23 year old in the nineteen-sixties had seen pictures of someone with bloody hands brandishing a knife, or heard reports of a suicide bomber killing nine school children. What would their reaction have been? Now compare that to my reaction; I just sat here watching the feed for what horrible thing is going to happen next.

Olivamine 10®
Everyday we read about amazing medical advancements that are on the horizon, but unavailable for ten years while they are being tested and developed. We often hope to experience the benefits of these advanced treatments and "cures" when we need them. The Olivamine products have been decades in the making and they bring the promise of skin and wound treatment that was not imaginable just ten years ago.
Olivamine is a culmination of some of the greatest advancements in science. Each ingredient's biochemical efficacy is evaluated through extensive research of published independent peer-reviewed literature. Our quest for excellence has led us to seek ingredients that meet all United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or National Formulary (NF) standards for quality and purity.
We take just a single purified molecule from a medically validated plant source. All molecules found in Olivamine products originated from the best organic farms from around the world. We find it impossible to believe that starting with plants that have been subjected to toxins could provide the level of healing we seek for the people we serve. Olivamine marries the best of molecular science with the best organic phytochemical science.
The scientific journey has been long but the results of our efforts brought us to the most important discovery of all; Olivamine.
So, What is Olivamine?
Olivamine 10® is a patented antioxidant blend that protects against free radicals in the body. This is important because free radicals can lead to inflammation and disease. What is cool about Olivamine, is that it uses really small molecules to do it's job, less than 500 Daltons for the science buffs. The reason they have to be so small, is so they can penetrate and nourish the skin. But you are still thinking, what is in it? What makes it up?
Let's start with the ingredients:
-Hydroxytyrosol (Olive fruit extract), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Glycine, Taurine, Cysteine, Proline, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6.
Now, let's break them down:
-Hydroxytyrosol, olive fruit extract, is used for its ability to protect cells from stress, slow growth of certain cancer cells, and increase lifespan of cells
-Methylsulfonylmethane, known as MSM for regular folks, is used here to encourage the body to make sulfur-containing amino acids. These are necessary for protein synthesis (important stuff!)
-Glycine, Taurine, Proline, and Cysteine serve as our antioxidants. They are going to be busy fighting off those pesky free radicals and protecting the cell.
-Vitamins B3 and B6 are going to be protecting the antioxidants, so they can do their job.
Now that we understand what Olivamine is made up of, it's pretty easy to see why and how it works. All of the ingredients have been tested individually and in various combinations to determine the precise and best balance for optimal wound healing.

We arranged a workshop for SCA's global brand TENA. Katja Palmdal made a lovley lunch with flavours of Christmas and we set the table to inspire the participants for the upcoming afternoon workshop, where the team got to create placing cards, Christmas cards, gifttags etc.
Our very dear client "barn i stan" celebrates 10 years with a brand new look. We are very happy and satisfied with the result. Pick your own copy at some of their 400 distribution points around Stockholm.
The fantastic concept Bunches by Blomrum opens their first shop i Stockholm on Friday 15 November. So if in Stockholm, pay them a visit at T-baneplan, Åhlens City.
Just got the great news that the packaging for Bunches is one of the nominees at The Swedish Design Awards (Svenska Designpriset). We are so happy and proud.
After a well-deserved vacation, we are back at the studio. With several exciting projects ahead of us. For example, we are enjoying many different colors and surfaces for a customer. What's not to love about that?
Lately we have been working intensively with our new client Steningekompaniet.
Steningekompaniet is an interior design store located just outside Stockholm. It's also an art gallery and a producer of candles and other useful products. A new name, new logo, new graphic design and a new website. And there is more to come …
Meanwhile, visit steningekompaniet.se and read more about their new exciting exhibition STENINGE LOVES SMÅLAND – showcasing some of the best glass works from some of the best Swedish artists.
Popular magazine Monocle was kind enough to dedicate a column to our packaging for Bunches by Blomrum in their latest issue (#82 April 2015). It's "Blooming marvellous" to say the least.
Ostensibly a book but in reality so much more, By You By Bolon presents design themes and patterns in beautiful, living colour and through the use of the company's actual material including warp, weft and backing. Tactile and demanding physical interaction, this production perfectly reflects the unequalled creative potential of Bolon flooring and is already a source of inspiration for architects, interior designers and many more. Have a closer look here.
Our pattern for IKEA summer 2014 collection is now part of IKEA's standard product range. Good news to all you wonderful people who have contacted us and wondered where to buy the fabric.

Sun Engineering has provided full engineering design services from feasibility studies, cost estimates, detailed engineering, design, permitting, procurement, construction support and start-up services for a wide range of renewable energy projects.
Solar Power
Our solar power experience began about 14 years ago when we designed a three component system: solar PV panels, a wind turbine and a battery system to power a remote telecommunication station in Alaska. Since then, along with advancements in Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies, and the country's commitment to augment traditional power with solar energy, Sun Engineering has developed the knowledge base necessary to support development of these new infrastructures.
Recently, a major energy company selected Sun Engineering to provide engineering design for 3MW and 1MW solar power generation projects for two Los Angeles Community Colleges. Our scope includes complete engineering design of the electrical power systems from the solar panels to inverters, switchgear, transformers and tie-in with the existing 4160 volt campus power grid.
We can provide full engineering design services or a design-build solution as part of a consortium of companies we work with.
Wind Energy
Between now and the year 2030, communities, institutions, and commercial enterprises will invest in on-site renewable energy generation assets that can work in conjunction with their traditional source of power. State-of-the-art wind turbines are making it possible to harness wind energy without the need for large, open spaces, massive propellers, or the construction of large transmission lines. Whether you're in this group of investors or a large utility scale wind farm developer, Sun Engineering can provide an economical engineering solution. We can provide electrical, mechanical, civil and structural engineering for smaller projects or a design-build solution as part of a consortium of companies we work with.
Sun Engineering has been involved in developing biodiesel facilities from the onset of new government regulation mandating biodiesel blending. Initially we were hired to prepare feasibility studies and cost estimates for biodiesel blending facilities in Oregon and Washington. We quickly became a technical leader by understanding the requirements for storing, pumping and measuring this unique product blend. Our terminal experience and knowledge of the technical issues from cold flow, custody transfer measurement, storage and safety, ultimately led to the award of larger projects; such as a $50MM biofuel facility in California.
Ethanol Blending
Sun Engineering has completed several Ethanol projects during the last nine (9) years, from feasibility studies and cost estimates throughout detailed engineering design, permitting, procurement and startup assistance on the west coast including Idaho and Hawaii. Our experience includes Ethanol transportation, off-loading, storage, pumping, blending and custody transfer of the bulk products and blended products.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Refueling Stations
Over the past five (5) years, Sun Engineering has designed many alternative fueling stations for our clients. Our expertise includes designing the smaller time-fill stations to the larger fast-fill transit facilities. Technology and equipment available for compressed natural gas facilities must be carefully evaluated by engineers who are familiar with the emerging codes and standards.
Other Renewable Energy Technologies
Sun Engineering is working with other specialty firms who have developed cutting-edge processes in the Biomass and Biogas technologies. Sun Engineering can provide the detailed engineering portion or a design-build solution as part of a consortium of companies we work with.
Energy Efficiency
Sun Engineering has completed energy studies for major companies to obtain energy rebates from utility companies with some rebates well over $400k. We incorporate energy efficiency into the design of various systems in industrial facilities and manufacturing plants.

Hello and welcome to Fiction Scribe, Mr. Verrier!
Thank you. I'm happy to be here.
Tell us a bit about you – where you've been, how you got here, where you're going.
I've been writing seriously since I was a teenager … first songs, and then I got hooked on prose while attending university in Canada. After completing undergraduate studies, I spent many years living and working overseas, particularly in Japan.
Somewhere along the way I earned graduate degrees at Columbia and the University of Iowa, and I continued to write … getting some short plays published, along with articles and a nonfiction book titled RAISING A CHILD TO BE BILINGUAL AND BICULTURAL, based on my and my Japanese wife's experience raising our children to be fluent in both parents' native languages and cultures. More recently I've been concentrating on fiction, and my first novel, TOUGH LOVE, TENDER HEART, was released by Saga Books earlier this year. A second novel, PLAN B, will be published by Saga Books in 2009.
Tell us about Tough Love, Tender Heart and how it went from idea to published book.
Well, it's the story of Don Fisher, a middle-aged misfit—just about everything has gone wrong in his life—who finally meets the sort of woman he's given up on ever meeting. This happens while he's on vacation in Venezuela.
The woman, Ana, is Colombian, working as a waitress in Caracas, and while the two don't exactly have a storybook romance, a child is conceived during Don's vacation. He doesn't learn this until he's back in the States, but from that point on his energy is directed toward marrying Ana and bringing her to live in the US. Little does he realize the obstacles US Immigration is going to put in his path.
As far as the inspiration behind the book goes, I'm a partner in an international marriage, though I've got to admit my wife and I never faced many of the problems Don and Ana do. I've talked to people who have, though, and I think there's a certain arbitrary nature to immigration matters that has to be addressed. And what better way to address it than in the context of a tale about unlikely love … love similar in ways to Robert and Francesca's in The Bridges of Madison County … love trying to take root in a difficult if not impossible situation?
When the manuscript was completed I sent a proposal to some publishers and agents—maybe fifteen or twenty in all—and received some encouragement but no offers. Working against me, perhaps, was the fact the manuscript was less than 50,000 words—and, of course, there's a very tight market for new fiction.
Then a further search for publishers of fiction led me to Saga Books, based in an area of western Canada where I used to live. I contacted Ruth Thompson of Saga Books, sent her a proposal and sample, and things started moving forward from there.
What is the one thing you like the most and the one thing you dislike the most about Don Fisher?
Well, he cuts his own path at times. He's open to change, too, and I like that. What I don't like is that he's so focused on himself and his problems. He's really a talented guy, and if he were more oriented toward the outside he'd have a lot to offer.
How did you become a writer?
As I said, it started with songs. You can listen, by the way, to a few of my songs on my myspace page, which is accessible through stevenverrier.com. My writing interest branched out to prose when I attended the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada, and I credit a lot of that discovery to Prof. Frank Ledwell, who mentored a lot of young writers during his distinguished career there. "Discovery" is the key word because I think I was born a writer and just happened to discover it during my teens.
What would you say is the most difficult thing about being a writer?
Perhaps the solitude. The tension. If you work at another job, as I do, you're always busy. Evenings and weekends aren't free time; there's always writing or related activities to be done.
If you could pick any author to collaborate with, who would it be?
Maybe Stephen King, because he's so prolific and I'd like some of that to rub off on me. On the other hand, it would be fun to work with a writer who hit it big but isn't so prolific … maybe a Harper Lee or a Salinger. I'd like to try and coax some more great work out of them.
Do you have any interesting writing habits/quirks?
I'm not sure how interesting it is, but the first draft of everything I write is in longhand. I'm probably about a quarter-century behind in my absorption of new technologies.
What is the most valuable piece of advice you have been given/learned in your life as a writer?
Write about what you know … from your own unique perspective … and you'll end up with a book no one else could write. Whatever else happens, you'll have something to be proud of. And, of course, grit your teeth and be ready to face rejection—and to outlast it.
When you're not writing, what are you doing?
Currently I'm working as a high school English teacher. I'm also the father of four boys, two of them toddlers, so nights involve reading a lot of storybooks.
Is there anything else you would like to share with the readers here?
I'll be around for the long haul doing whatever it takes to carve out a significant writing career. I appreciate every little step along the way, and I appreciate every little bit of support I get. For information about Tough Love, Tender Heart or about Steven Verrier, please visit stevenverrier.com, and drop me a line telling me what you think about this book.
Thank you very much for coming by this blog. I wish you great successes with Tough Love, Tender Heart.
My pleasure. Thanks so much for this opportunity to introduce myself and my work.

text: I'm guessing BT5 is the next high end phone inclusion then. Mobile phones are already quite mature products so they need new features like this to differentiate them. Until the feature is in a significant number of phones other manufacturers will be slow to include it in other types of products which can connect to phones so at least this is a start. Just hope they do better quality control this time.
