My home and family life was reassuringly stable growing up; we never moved and I got to keep one set of close friends basically all the way through school. I was a little envious of military kids and others who went off on adventures around the world, but I knew my own life had its benefits too, so I didn't mind very much. If I were summing my life-before-marriage up, I'd say it was predictable and happy; unexciting from the outside, though eventful enough from my own view. I do think travel is broadening, but I think one can be similarly broadened by emotional "travel"---new experiences in familiar places---or by a closer examination of what seems unexciting---or by cultivating wonder no matter how close to home.
That said, at various points I've had travel opportunities sort of fall into my lap; things I wouldn't have predicted but which have been life-changing, in their way. Looking back, I'm surprised at how many of these there were: I got to go to St. Petersburg (Russia) with my friend Rachael when I was 15, and after we graduated from high school we also travelled with her Grandpa (the Berlin Candy Bomber) to Germany for the anniversary of the Berlin Airlift. I visited Belgium, France, England and Quebec with my family. I studied abroad in London for a few months. I felt lucky to have had all of these experiences, and although none of them were terribly long in duration they were certainly influential.
So when Sam was deciding whether or not to accept an invitation to speak at an art workshop in Moscow, I told him, "Even if it's a ton of hassle, you have to do it just for the adventure! Who knows if you will ever get the chance again! I wish I could go!" Aha. Sam asked if they'd consider paying for me to go with him as well. They said yes, my mom said she'd watch the kids, and we decided to go for it!
Flying in to Moscow
It was going to be short: 3 days of flying, 3 days on the ground. We don't speak Russian (or read Cyrillic, though I tried to learn some). It is hardly the nicest time of year for visiting the northern latitudes, and Russian Visas are notoriously annoying to procure. But I just had a feeling we'd end up being so glad we took the opportunity. And we were!
I took AP European History the year after I visited St. Petersburg, and the whole year I kept wishing I'd known these things about Russian history before I went so I could have appreciated what I was seeing more deeply! Ever since then I've tried to learn as much as I can about places before (or while) I'm visiting them. I know I won't become an expert but at least I'll know something! My cousin David gave me two books about Russia that I really enjoyed: A History of Russia (John Lawrence) which was a great overview, and Lenin's Tomb (David Remnick), a truly enlightening look at the collapse of the Soviet Union. Admittedly I had 40+ hours of flying time in which to read these; otherwise I might not have been able to get through them both, but I found them fascinating (especially Lenin's Tomb) and was really glad to have the reading time.
With Sam's workshop taking up one of our days, we basically had two days for exploring. So this wasn't a "Moscow off-the-beaten-path" sort of trip. But it didn't matter. It was all new to us, and all fascinating. Just wandering the streets and seeing such unfamiliar buildings and hearing an unfamiliar language all around us was exciting and fun. I'd love to go back with a Russian-speaking guide (Rachael? Heidi? Who will volunteer?) but we did the best we could.
The cold wasn't too bad. Everyone kept apologizing about it ("How do you like our 'Russian Spring'?") as if we came from some tropical clime. We kept trying to tell them that 16 or 18 degrees F wasn't so far off from our Utah weather this time of year! And we were walking around everywhere, which kept us warm. Also tired. We valiantly refrained from drinking the Russian water (we were advised not to) which meant we had to seek out bottled water (sometimes mistakenly getting that strange fizzy water Europeans are so partial to), so I was thirsty a lot. But we bought bread and cheese and pastries and chocolate from little markets whenever we could, which is pretty much what I would eat all the time if possible. So that was great.

Colorful buildings
Cool tilework and idealized "Soviet worker" statues in the metro station
We did successfully navigate the metro (with a transliterated map for assistance), of which feat I was somewhat proud. Several people spoke to me in Russian throughout the week too, so I must not have looked TOO confused and out-of-place. One lady asked me (after I spoke English to her) if my parents were Russian. My Danish blood isn't too far off, I guess. And I was wearing my shapka some of the time! And I loved seeing all the ladies in their warm fur coats. They all looked like cuddly bears to hug. Sometimes I couldn't resist surreptitiously feeling the backs of their fur collars when we were all crammed together in the metro. Is that so wrong? :)
A . . . building. Sometimes we'd see plaques that probably explained the historical significance of these places. Unfortunately we couldn't read most of them. Occasionally I'd recognize something I'd read about earlier, though.
The Kremlin, I learned, is a fortress (it means fortress, in fact) that holds government buildings and museums as well as a bunch of old cathedrals. I was surprised there were so many. They had matching gold domes, very beautiful and astonishingly ancient inside. How can you even process the idea of being inside a structure that's been around since the 12th century?
Ivan the Great Bell Tower---each of those arches contains a bell
I love the ornate Russian Orthodox crosses
Looking out over the walls from within the Kremlin
Outside the walls
Seeing St. Basil's Cathedral (which I read isn't the technically correct name for it, but it will do) loom up at us as we came around a corner was breathtaking. I was probably really annoying, as I kept saying, "Wow! Wow! Can you believe it?" to Sam. But I just couldn't stop myself. It's a sight I've seen in pictures so often, and I never imagined I'd be there myself.
I don't care if "Muscovites never go here" (as someone told me), it is awe-inspiring. I loved the inside as well. The spaces are quite intimate, almost cramped (it's nothing like a Catholic cathedral in France, for example---no soaring ceilings and vast, echoing spaces beneath the colored light of stained glass). The narrow, curved stairways and small stone chapels made me feel like I was creeping through a maze of secret passages. I loved it. One room we entered had a group of unremarkable looking men in semi-matching coats sitting in the corner, and as we were about to leave, they stood up and suddenly there was music filling up the whole space around us. We could see they were singing, but we kept looking around for the source of the music anyway---it seemed to materialize out of the air. It wasn't Gregorian Chant, but it was something liturgical-sounding, and it was unearthly. The deepness of that Russian bass was like nothing I'd ever heard before. It was so . . . magnificent; one of those experiences I hesitate to even attempt to describe because I know I can't do it justice. And yet I feel compelled to describe it because I don't want to forget. I felt totally transported by the music and it made me cry, tears running down my face as I stood there under the stone walls, listening. Sam said afterwards that the cathedral felt simply interesting to him at first, but once he heard the singing it suddenly felt like a holy place. Close to God. I felt the same. We felt so lucky to have happened into the place at that specific time!
St. Basil's is on Red Square (Red from the word for beautiful, my cousin told me, not Red as in Communist---it was Red Square since before the USSR) and there's another beautiful building, the State Historical Museum, directly across from it. Lenin's mausoleum, or whatever it is, is to the left from this view (not in the picture) but it was closed for . . . construction? Re-embalming? Wax figure replacement? Just as well, as I don't think I would have wanted to pay my respects to the man anyway.
I just love the lineup of colors and architectural styles in this picture. The building in the foreground is the Kazan Cathedral, which I read was torn down during the Soviet era. After the USSR dissolved, one of the architect's students rebuilt it from the original blueprints. I think it's charming. It looks like a stack of cupcakes.
On the side opposite the Kremlin, there's a big department store, as they call it (more like a shopping mall? with different shops)---GUM. It's nice inside, with lots of upscale shops---Cartier and so forth---nothing WE felt like browsing in!---and a delicately arched roof. We did buy some ice cream from a little cart. I was reminded, fondly, of how people eat ice-cream from street carts year-round in St. Petersburg (and maybe Moscow too). Very sensible of them.
One of the best things about the city was the strange mix of architecture. I loved walking down a street like this and seeing gold crosses gleaming out from some nearby cathedral above the buildings. And people just hurrying along past, intent on their various destinations. It felt so foreign, in a good way.
Another surprise---ornate towers peeking over walls. We were even trying to get to this place (a convent) but it's still so surprising to suddenly have it emerge from behind a bunch of concrete apartment blocks.
Same place---Novodevichy Convent
I thought it was so funny to see these big sheets of . . . what? Some sort of tarpaulin?. . . draped over all the building projects. That whole yellow "building" you see in the background is just cloth, covering up some unsightly construction, presumably. I thought it must be just for the tourist/highly photographed areas (this is inside the Kremlin) but we saw it in other parts of the city as well.
There were lots of things we would have done if we'd had more time. There was a Scriabin Museum I really wanted to go to (he's a favorite composer of mine; in fact I was just realizing that most of my favorite composers are Russian) but couldn't because the hours didn't work with our schedule. Likewise the Tretyakov Gallery (all the museums were closed on Mondays!) and Tchaikovsky Conservatory and several other places. We would have liked to go to a concert every night if it had been possible. But one thing I was SO glad we did was go to the ballet.
It was Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (my favorite!) in the huge 6000-seat theater right inside the Kremlin. I'm no expert on the technical aspects of ballet, but I loved this performance. I've seen other good ballet companies but I was struck (and I remember this about the ballet in St. Petersburg too) by the sheer number of skillful male dancers. When I see ballet at home I always feel like they're having to parcel out their men a little bit---a male solo (these probably have technical names? Pas de un? :)) followed by a dance for three women followed by a dance for five women followed by a big corps de ballet number (mostly women) followed by, maybe, a group of three men? But here it was nothing like that. A large corps and I'm sure it was at least half men. It made a change in the type of choreography we saw, and I liked it. I also just really liked the principal dancers---they all had such distinct characters, going beyond their proficiency (which as I said I can't really judge; they all looked great to me) as dancers. I read somewhere that the Russians place great emphasis on acting their roles in ballet; that they see the dance steps less as ends in themselves and more as tools to tell the story. I don't know if that generalization is true, but it seemed accurate for what we saw. Plus we were sitting right down by the orchestra pit, next to the percussion section, which was perfect. I love how Prokofiev uses percussion.
After the ballet we got to walk out and see Red Square at night, which was lovely. There's an ice-skating rink right in the middle of the square (temporary, I believe) which is kind of startling, but it's cool in its own way, to see ordinary people whizzing around on ice skates under the lights of these old, historic buildings, and the fur-clad babushkas hurrying home from the ballet while shoppers left the mall carrying their bags from American-named stores. What an interesting group of contrasts in this Square (and the whole city!). (MY bag, if you are wondering, is full of European chocolate to take home, which seemed like QUITE a bit at the time but in retrospect seems woefully inadequate. We should have brought a whole suitcase-full.)
The whole trip was SO fun and SUCH an adventure. I loved it. I'm so glad we got to go! It's hard for me to believe, now, that we were actually there; it's like a dream. I guess that's always how it is when you go back to real life.

Come on you have to be kidding me. According to a Boston Globe columnist (I have yet to see it any where else) Plaxico Burress predicted the outcome of the Super Bowl. He said that the Giants would be victorious. He even predicted a score! 23-17 he said it would be. This guy must want to give the Patriots bulletin board material. Hey remember Anthony Smith, I know that Burress is much more of a star than Smith but come on, you're allowed to have faith in your team but that is just crossing the line.
Even head coach Tom Coughlin said so. As he shook his head and said "We have had a good theme all year and it hasn't been that. We do our talking on the field."
I don't think this was such a smart idea, but I guess at media day this type of stuff happens all of the time but why would you do it against the Patriots? I guess we will have to see what happens on Sunday.

Local History
2015 is the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In tribute to that generation of Americans who fought in that terrible struggle and saved the world, the Hicksville Archives at the Hicksville Library will, over the next several months, tell of those from Hicksville who did not come home. They were your neighbors.
On February 29, 1944, General Douglas Macarthur, needing a location for a forward fleet base as part of the march to Tokyo, ordered the occupation of the Admiralty Islands 200 miles north east of New Guinea. The Admiralties were believed to be unoccupied. They were not.
He was awarded a Silver Star.
In Italy, the Wehrmacht had effectively blocked the American advance from Monte Cassino to Anzio. It was decided that taking the town of Santa Maria Infante would break the German line and clear the way to Rome. It was decided that 351 Infantry would attack and take Santa Maria Infante on May 11, 1944. The successful battle for Santa Maria Infante was decided by May 14th.

Looked for apps but the only thing I found even close was SPB TV (v1.1 - latest, doesn't work with incredible) This is for watching tv over g3/wifi on the phone itself and that does not require a subscription. Websites that work with android and are free would also be great.

Nichols, Lincoln, Illinois); to Harrison Maltby (DLC-HW); to Rev. E. Roberts (owned by Arch W. Roberts, North Hollywood, California); to Thomas Hull IHi; to Luther Hill (Williams Hill). One of the many others who received copies was John Kirkpatrick of Logan County, who published the letter together with his reply of September 26 in the Logan County Democrat, whence it was widely copied in the opposition press. Numerous other copies bearing later dates indicate that Lincoln continued to send the letter throughout September and October.

Hi all I'm in need of some help clearing up my confusion and getting this remote installation setup.
I have several issues that either I am misunderstanding the concepts and/or the configuration process.
I am the sole IT person responsible for several companies.
Each company I support has it's own AD Domain. Each site has its own Exchange 2007. A transitive trust is in place between my AD Domain and each remote AD Domain,
Each remote site that I support where the trust is in place has a site-to-site IPSec VPN with no firewall restrictions across the VPN.
I have a central installation setup and running inside my own company's network (some WMI and auth issues but in general it's working great). The central server uses AD authentication for scan and user portal. A dedicated email address for support tickets is setup on my company's exchange and is operating as expected for my company.
The central server is internet accessible with the portal set to default to SSL in the SW settings.
Expected Outcomes
- Central Inventory, monitors and alerts for all sites.
- Central Help Desk (Portal and Administration) with SSO for Active Directory users in each of the respective AD Domains.
- Access to Help Desk portal for external users not part of any AD Domain.
- Secure communications and data transfers.
Below are the issues I am trying to resolve.
1. External Portal Users - Non Active Directory
My company is an MSP (of sorts) and not all clients have/will have a remote collector or AD integration, just a help desk portal.
I've manually created a user not associated to any AD domain. The user is added without issue however there is no where to set a password for portal access so of course that user cannot login to the portal. Email ticketing is working for the user but I'd like to allow those users to log in and see their old and submit new tickets.
2. Remote Collector - AD SSL AUTH
I've installed SW on a virtual machine inside the network of Client-A. As stated we have an unrestricted site-to-site IPSec VPN. In the AD Configuration settings if I check the "Use SSL" box I receive this error: "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. - SSL_connect".
I've read many posts on this error all related to firewall issues though I cannot see any in my instance particularly since there are no firewall rules to restrict traffic across the VPN. If I clear the check box SW authenticates without issue. The central server has SSL enable with no errors.
3. Remote collector email settings
On the remote collector I have configured the email settings with the email address etc of the central server. Alerts for inventory items are being received but ticketing emails are not. Do I need to use an email address from the remote site's domain?
4. Remote site Help Desk Portal
All of the documents I've read seem to indicate that I can have one central help desk portal for all sites however this doesn't seem to be the case. The remote collector appears to use only be configurable for a local instance of the help desk and then (I assume) to forward ticket requests to the central server. I'd like to know how to configure SQ with a single help desk user portal. I'd also be interested in hearing your ideas re: the pro's and con's of centralized versus multiple portals.
I'm sure there are more things to deal with but if I can get these resolved I'm sure the rest will fairly easily fall into place.
Thanks for taking the time to read and consider all of this.

akp982 is an IT service provider.
- With AD auth turned on only users in AD can login, you would need to set them up on AD for them to work. If you turn it off people can just use there email address to login
- If your going via a VPN do you need SSL on? The data travel is encypted already
- Not sure
- Not an MSP so someone else should be able to help with this one

The present invention relates to grounding devices, specifically to a circuit-card grounding guide for reducing electromagnetic interference.
Problems associated with electromagnetic interference (EMI) are commonly encountered in the field of electronics. EMI is of particular interest in networking, telecommunications, and data-processing systems. Electronic components of such systems generate electromagnetic fields that interfere with the operation of other internal components, often causing malfunction thereof. Similarly, EMI produced by electronic devices, e.g., computers, adversely affects the performance of neighboring appliances, such as printers, telephones, etc.
Electronics systems may comprise a conductive chassis that houses a plurality of printed circuit (PC) boards, otherwise known as circuit cards. Electrical-current discontinuities, or gaps, between the cards and the chassis allow electromagnetic radiation to emanate, thus producing EMI. However, it is known in the art that electromagnetic radiation of a particular frequency is attenuated as the size of the discontinuities is reduced below half the radiation wavelength. Therefore, EMI can be minimized by properly grounding the cards to the chassis.
Electrical connections between the conductive chassis and the circuit cards are necessary also because the chassis is typically utilized as an electrical ground required for the operation of individual PC boards. Because of the high density of electronic components mounted on a typical PC board, most boards require a plurality of independent grounding points to fully satisfy their grounding needs.
Currently, several types of grounding mechanisms are known and utilized. For example, grounding guides that allow a circuit card to be slidingly installed into the chassis are manufactured by Unitrack Industries, Inc., West Chester, Pa.
As shown in FIG. 1, each of these guides comprises a conductive strip 20 that includes two corresponding pluralities of paired resilient fingers 22 and 24, evenly spaced along the strip. Strip 20 is inserted into a conductive track 26 (FIG. 2) having a longitudinal slot 27 and a flange 28 formed so that fingers 22 engage the flange to produce electrical continuity between strip 20 and track 26. Tabs 30 and 32 are provided at each end of track 26 for attaching the card guide to a chassis (not shown) and for retaining strip 20 inside the track.
As an edge of a circuit card (not shown) is inserted into slot 27, it slides between flange 28 and fingers 24. To accommodate the card, the resilient fingers are displaced laterally. Thus, the circuit card is electrically interconnected with strip 20 via a plurality of fingers 24, each having a contact patch formed as a point contact. Similarly, the strip has a corresponding number of electrical connections, i.e., fingers 22, with track 26. In turn, the track is grounded with screw-type fasteners (not shown), anchoring tabs 30 and 32 to the chassis.
However, the above-described card guide possesses a number of salient flaws. Specifically, the guide provides insufficient grounding of the circuit card to the chassis since the former is grounded to the latter only by two fasteners that attach tabs 30 and 32 to the chassis. Thus, an electrical discontinuity is created between the card and the chassis along the length of the track, which separates the two fasteners. Such a discontinuity allows generation of EMI.
Additionally, the card is grounded to the chassis indirectly because the resilient fingers of the conductive strip electrically couple the card only to the track, whereas the track is then grounded to the chassis by means of mounting tabs and fasteners. Therefore, even if additional grounding points were provided between the track and the chassis, a direct electrical connection between the card and the chassis still would not be established. Moreover, introduction of such grounding points in the form of rivets or screws significantly increases the manufacturing costs.
Furthermore, since the guides are rarely removed from the chassis, track-to-chassis attachment points are subject to corrosion that causes deterioration of the grounding connections. Similarly, because fingers 22 are fixed with respect to flange 28, corrosion may also produce the loss of electrical continuity between the fingers and the flange.
Although corrosion between the card and the guide is insignificant since the card is periodically removed from and replaced into the guides, the prior-art guides present a different set of problems. As the card is repeatedly inserted into and extracted from the guides, material is removed from the face of the card because the point contacts of fingers 22 apply relatively large forces over a small area of the card. Hence, excessive galling produced along one face of the card is another drawback associated with the prior-art guide. The resulting metal debris may contaminate electronic components located within the chassis, causing them to malfunction. Moreover, the high pressure exerted by the resilient fingers on the face of the circuit card increases the possibility of damage to the contacts due to snagging. Also, as the face of the card becomes abraded, the coefficient of friction between fingers 22 and the card increases, making it difficult to slide the card in and out of the guide. Furthermore, the circuit card is not inherently centered between its respective guides. The lack of centering may hinder positive engagement between the connectors located on the leading edge of the card and the mating connectors situated on the back plane of the conductive chassis.
Additionally, the insertion of the circuit card into the guides is cumbersome since the track slots are relatively narrow and aligning both edges of the card with the slots of the corresponding tracks requires increased time and effort.
It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide supportive guides for circuit-card grounding which overcome the foregoing disadvantages, e.g., which deliver a multiplicity of grounding connections; which directly ground the circuit card to the chassis; which provide corrosion-free grounding contacts; which reduce the sliding friction of the circuit card; which minimize material galling; which facilitate insertion of the circuit card into the chassis; which automatically center the card between the facing chassis members bearing the guides; and which are simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble. Further objects and advantages will become apparent after consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings.
The card guide according to the present invention comprises a conductive strip attached to a base of an elongated supporting track that has a U-shaped cross-section defining a longitudinal slot and staggered protrusions located at the proximal end of the tracks. The strip contains a plurality of longitudinally oriented spring contacts protruding into the slot via a plurality of openings formed through the base of the track. Snap-in fasteners anchor the base of the track to the chassis so that the conductive strip is sandwiched therebetween.
When the edge of a circuit card is inserted into the slot of the supporting track, the spring contacts are deflected to engage the chassis, thus electrically grounding the circuit card. To facilitate the insertion of the card into the slot, a V-shaped protrusion is formed on the front portion of the track.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings, where:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a conductive strip of a prior-art card guide.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an assembled prior-art card guide, whose conductive strip is illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a supportive guide for circuit-card grounding according to the invention.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a conductive strip of the supportive guide shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the guide of FIG. 3 attached to a conductive chassis.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the mounting arrangement of a circuit card in the conductive chassis of FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 shows the circuit card of FIG. 6 inserted in the guide of FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 is a sectional view of the conductive chassis shown in FIG. 6.
FIG. 9 is a front view of a latch for locking the circuit card in the conductive chassis of FIG. 6.
For purposes of illustration, these figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. In all of the figures, like components are designated by like reference numerals.
Throughout the following description, specific details, such as materials, dimensions, etc., are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the invention. However, the invention may be practiced without these particulars. In other instances, well known elements have not been shown or described to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative, rather than a restrictive, sense.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a supportive guide for circuit-card grounding according to the invention. Guide 38 includes a grounding strip 40, which is made of a conductive material, such as beryllium copper. The strip comprises a flat section 41 having a plurality of longitudinally oriented resilient contacts, i.e., leaf-spring members 42. The flat section is approximately 0.1 mm thick. Each leaf-spring member is integral with section 41 and is formed by partially separating a rectangular ribbon of material from the section. The resulting apertures in section 41 are then enlarged to create a plurality of rectangular openings 44, having a length of approximately 19 mm and a width of about 3.8 mm. Additionally, section 40 possesses a plurality of evenly-spaced openings 46, each having an oval shape and serrations 48 at its periphery.
Openings 46 are used for coupling strip 40 to a track 50, which has a U-shaped cross-section defining a centrally-disposed longitudinal slot 52. Track 50 is made of a polycarbonate resin. Slot 52 is bounded by a base portion 54 and two lateral portions 56 and 58, orthogonal to portion 54. The slot is about 2 mm wide. A plurality of evenly-spaced rectangular cavities 60 are disposed in the base portion for receiving leaf-spring members 42. The cavities are approximately 19 mm long and 3.6 mm wide. Since cavities 60 are slightly wider than slot 52, hollows 62 and 64 are formed in lateral portions 56 and 58, respectively.
Track 50 also possesses a plurality of snap-in posts 66 spaced to be received within openings 46. The proximal end of the track contains staggered protrusions 68 and 70, obliquely disposed with respect to the longitudinal axis of track 50. The protrusions define an angle of approximately 33� and are staggered to permit protrusion 68 of one track to overlap with protrusion 70 of the neighboring track (or vice versa), thus allowing the tracks to be positioned closely together. At the proximal end of track 50, the inner faces of lateral portions 56 and 58 have oblique planes 72 and 74, whereas base portion 54 contains a ramp 76. Planes 72 and 74 are beveled flush with protrusions 68 and 70.
Each leaf-spring member 42 is about 2.7 mm wide and has a total length of about 17 mm when extended. Members 42 each comprise a curved base portion 78, which is attached to section 40 of the strip; a first straight segment 79; a curved mid portion 80; and second straight segment 81 having a radiused tip 82. As shown in FIG. 4, when member 42 is in its neutral (uncompressed) state, the trough of tip 82 is coplanar with section 41. The radius of portion 78 is approximately 3.2 mm. Portion 80 also has a radius of about 3.2 mm and its crest is located approximately 4 mm above the top surface of section 41. The radius of tip 82 is about 0.4 mm and the end of the tip protrudes approximately 0.25 mm above the top surface of section 41. Segments 79 and 81 define an angle of about 105�.
The spacing between members 42 is optimized to minimize EMI and to provide a low-impedance electrical path. It is known in the art that to attenuate electromagnetic radiation of a particular frequency, the grounding-contact spacing should be less than half the wavelength of that radiation. Moreover, to provide a low-impedance ground, the contact spacing should be less than a quarter wavelength of emitted electromagnetic radiation. In accordance with the above guidelines, the spacing between members 42 has been set at approximately 32 mm.
As shown in FIG. 3, to assemble the guide, strip 40 is oriented such that portions 78 of members 42 are facing towards the proximal end of track 50. The strip is attached to the track by snap-in posts 66, inserted into corresponding openings 46. Serrations 48 allow the openings 46 to deform temporarily so that insertion of fasteners 66 into the openings is facilitated. The oval shapes of openings 46 compensate for manufacturing and thermal dimensional variations of track 50.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, strip 40 is sandwiched between track 50 and a conductive chassis 84 when the assembled grounding guide is installed into the chassis by snapping fasteners 66 into appropriate mounting holes 86. Since slot 52 is narrower than members 42 and openings 60 are too shallow to accommodate members 42 in their neutral state, the leaf-spring members are preloaded against the body of chassis 84.
FIG. 6 shows a circuit card 88 to be inserted into chassis 84. The circuit card includes PC boards 90, grounded to a backing plate 92 with supports 94. The backing plate is made of a conductive material, e.g., stainless steel, and is about 1.6 mm thick. Protrusions 68 and 70 facilitate the introduction of card 88 into guides 38 by directing the edges of plate 92 into slots 52.
Once in the slots, the edges of plate 92 displace members 42, forcing tips 82 against chassis 84 (FIG. 7). Therefore, card 88 is grounded directly to the chassis with a plurality of electrical contacts, allowing to minimize EMI and providing a low-impedance connection between the card and the chassis.
Each time card 88 is inserted into guides 38, tips 82 of the leaf-spring members reengage the body of the chassis to establish a fresh ground between card 88 and chassis 84. The radius of each of the tips is small enough to deliver a positive grounding point yet large enough to prevent excessive galling of the chassis and accidental snagging of the tip. Furthermore, opposing forces exerted on the backing plate of card 88 by leaf-spring members of corresponding guides 38 automatically center the card between the guides. Because of this inherent centering, misalignment between electrical connectors 100 on the leading edge of the circuit card and mating connectors 102 located on the back plane of the chassis (FIG. 8) is eliminated.
When the circuit card is fully inserted into chassis 88, plate 92 is secured to the chassis with latches 104 and 106, which pivot on fulcrum pins 108 and 110, respectively. Pins 108 and 110 are rigidly attached to plate 92. As shown in FIG. 9, each latch has a textured handle 112, a locking protrusion 114 substantially orthogonal to handle 112, and a through opening 116 that is used to pivotally mount the latch on the fulcrum pin.
Referring to FIG. 8, it is apparent that the handles of latches 104 and 106 are parallel to the trailing edge of the circuit card when the latches are unlocked. The circuit card is secured to chassis 84 by rotating the handles of the latches by 90� so that locking protrusions 114 engage openings 118 and 120 disposed at the front of the chassis. Since handles of latches 104 and 106 fold away from plate 92 to unlock the circuit card, additional space along the trailing edge of the circuit card is available to install LED displays 122 and 124. Such displays are used for indicating the status and the condition of the circuit card.
Due to the gentle radius of curvature of portion 80, the leaf-spring members exert a relatively low pressure on the edge of plate 92, facilitating sliding the card in and out of the guides and minimizing abrasion of the card edge. The relatively large curvature of portion 80 also eliminates snagging of the leaf-spring members on the edge of the card.
Thus, it has been shown that we have provided improved guides for circuit-card grounding which deliver a multiplicity of grounding connections; which directly ground the circuit card to the chassis; which provide corrosion-free grounding contacts; which reduce the sliding friction of the circuit card; which minimize material galling; which facilitate insertion of the circuit card into the chassis; which automatically center the card between the facing chassis members bearing the guides; and which are simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
Although the supportive guide has been shown and described in the form of a specific embodiment, its configurations and materials are given only as examples, and many other modifications of the guide are possible. For example, the conductive strips may be made of extra-hard stainless steel, phosphor bronze, or any conductive material which resists deformation when flattened. Strips of various thickness may be chosen. Depending on the application, heavier circuitcard modules may require thicker conductive strips. Tracks 50 may be manufactured of lexon, delrin, nylon, noryl, or any polycarbonate material that is UL-approved. The snap-in posts, used to attach the guides to the chassis, may not be slotted or may be replaced with screws or any other type of fastener.
Therefore, the scope of the invention should be determined, not by the examples given, but by the appended claims and their equivalents.

#BlackLivesMatter: If you google 'black teenagers' and 'white teenagers', something absolutely shocking happens
While we may have made some progress over the years, it's abundantly clear that racism is still a huge problem.
After countless racist police shootings, not to mention the inexplicable deaths of at least five black women in their prison cells in July 2015, we saw the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter begin trending on social media.
However many were still stunned when Kabir Alli posted a video to Twitter of himself carrying out a straightforward search of "three black teenagers".
The search term overwhelmingly turned up a selection of prisoners' mugshots.
Then, in a thought-provoking twist, Kabir decided: "Now let's just change the colour ..."
Tragically, the result for "three white teenagers" shows stock photos of smiling, wholesome-looking young people.
Watch the video for yourself below:
It's frightening to see how very differently teenagers of different races are viewed in society, isn't it?
The post has been retweeted countless times since it was originally shared, generating thousands of comments from shocked users.
But does it prove that Google is racist, as so many have stated?
How does Google work?
While some may assume that Google has a racist agenda, the problem is not so easily explained away.
The way the search engine works is by "crawling" the web, and sorting web pages into an index.
It then dips into the index and produces ranked results, which have been rated by over 200 factors.
These include user context and "freshness".
This can be defined as: "The latest news and information…[and] provides relevant results based on geographic region, web history and other factors."
Why does Google seem to have a 'racist agenda'?
Well, a disturbing government report, produced by the Ministry of Justice, showed that black and Asian defendants are almost 20 per cent more likely to be sent to jail than those who are white.
It also showed that judges and magistrates are institutionally racist, handing down more lenient sentences to white criminals.
And, topically, MIC.com revealed similar facts in the Sandra Bland 'suicide' last year.
Who was Sandra Bland?
For those who don't remember the case, Sandra Bland was found hanged in her Texas jail cell in 2015, shortly after being detained in what started as a routine traffic stop.
In footage of her arrest, captured by state trooper Brian Encinia's dashcam, Sandra could be heard complaining about the officer's violent treatment of her - and screaming in pain, yelling "my wrist!"
Three days after she was arrested, Sandra Bland was found dead from apparent "self-inflicted asphyxiation" in her cell.
Questions were not only raised over Sandra's seemingly violent arrest, however; people also demanded to know whether she was already dead in her mugshot.
Was Sandra Bland already dead in her mugshot?
Speaking on Counter Current News, one writer claimed: "Her face, collagen, fat, loose musculature, is all seeming to fall backwards, rather than down. This would seem to indicate that she is laying down.
"On the right side of the image, we can see the left side of her face (our right), drooping lower than the opposite side.
"Some have suggested this indicates effects of oxygen depletion to the brain."
Police denied the claims.
Why have so many black women died in police custody?
Sandra's death came at the same time as those of five other black women, all unrelated and in separate areas of the USA.
However they all had one thing in common.
Each woman lost her life whilst in police custody.
These tragic deaths have shined an even brighter spotlight on the plight of black women in the criminal justice system.
As MIC.com explained: "Sandra Bland was pulled over for failing to use her turn signal in Texas. But her being pulled over at all falls into a bigger national pattern: In 2013, for instance, more than 53% of all women stopped by the New York City police in 2013 were black.
"Black people overall make up just 27% of the city's population."
They revealed that black women are three times more likely to be jailed than white women in the USA, and that black women are among the least likely to die via suicide in prison.
"The lives of these five women can never be fully explained using a set of dispassionate statistics, facts and figures," they added powerfully.
"But the ways their experiences fit into broader disparities that affect black women are telling.
"They prove the United States has a much bigger problem on its hands than these individual deaths."
How does this all relate to the Stanford rape case?
It's unsurprising that this bias towards black 'criminals' has a huge effect on how the media portrays black and white people.
This in turn creates a bias towards crime, which the Google algorithm then uses to make up its 'racist' index.
And it's a bias which can be clearly seen in the Stanford rape case, which revolves around the sexual assault of an anonymous 23-year-old victim who wrote a powerful letter to her attacker.
Despite being found unanimously guilty of the rape and assault, the judge handed down a mere six month jail sentence to Brock Turner.
Brian Banks, a black man who served five years in prison for wrongful rape conviction, accused the judge of favouring Turner because he is a privileged white athlete and student.
He told New York Daily News: "It seems like the judge based his decision on lifestyle. He's lived such a good life and has never experienced anything serious in his life that would prepare him for prison. He was sheltered so much he wouldn't be able to survive prison.
"What about the kid who has nothing, he struggles to eat, struggles to get a fair education? What about the kid who has no choice who he is born to and has drug-addicted parents or a non-parent household? Where is the consideration for them when they commit a crime?"
While this is infuriating enough, many have also expressed anger over the fact that images of the rapist were taken from the white athlete's high school yearbook instead of his police mugshot.
The image showed him smiling and wearing a suit, which social media users claimed would not have been the case if he had been black.
Brock Turner's mugshot was only released to the public after he was sentenced last week.
So who is really at fault?
If we look at how black and white suspects are covered in the media, it's clear that there is a hugely divisive line.
With a white suspect, the media will provide details about the criminal's life, allowing us to find out everything we need to know about their family, their job, their mental health, their childhood, their hobbies, their school records.
With a black suspect, we get a few throwaway details about their life beyond the crime they were accused of. And, of course, a mugshot.
It reinforces an ancient and ridiculous stereotype - one that foolishly claims that white people are more 'human' than black people. That they are more deserving of our sympathy and empathy. That they are owed a careful analysis of their life leading up to their misdemeanour, so that we have a chance to better understand them.
Black people, however, remain faces without stories. And, looking at the statistics, they are far more likely to end up behind bars - or dead.
In short, Google is not racist - and it is not following any agenda of its own making.
The search engine is simply following the precedent that we have set, and continue to set, each and every day.
Until we realise that #BlackLivesMatter is so much more than a hashtag, the world will continue to make wildly biased assumptions about black people.
It's time to look beyond the colour of our skin and treat all people as exactly that; people.

Can I hot link contact info in header and text of form?Asked by salamone on August 26, 2016 at 01:00 PM
Gehringer Brothers Winery form. email@example.com. I wonder if I can make the email address and phone number and web site address "hot" on the form both in the header and in the text?
JotForm Support
Yes, both can be replaced with links instead of plain text. For the header, replace your text with the following:
Replace the phone number text in your Text field with:
Here is how the form would look and function with those changes made:
You can clone the form to your own account if you'd like:
JotForm Support
Apologies, for some reason my code for the header code jumbled. Here is the correct code:
Can you also make the email address in the text hot? I see where you can link to a web site in the text html editor, but can you also link to an email address? I want to also link the firstname.lastname@example.com to the email in the text.
Thank you.
JotForm Support
The same code used in the header will work for the email address in the Text field.
firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is a copy of the form with the email address and phone number from the test field updated to links:
Can I just adopt the changes that you made or do I have to make them myself? Where do I insert the code for the text? I see where to insert it for the header, but do not see a place to insert code for the text box.
Thank you.
JotForm Support
Replace the text in the text field with the code:
After you click "Complete" the code will show the link instead of the code text.
Is there any way you can check to make sure I got it done correctly? THANKS.
JotForm Support
Looks good. Requests an email app to open the link. You should be all set.
Last bit: is there any way to make all the links the same colour on that page? On my screen they appear to be in two colours. Perhaps you can tell me how to make them all one colour? Can I choose a colour (to match the rest of my web site links) or at least make these links all the same on one page?
JotForm Support
You can insert this CSS code on your form:
a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {
color: blue;
You can refer to this link if you need to know how to inject CSS codes in you form: https://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
