1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to systems using electromagnetic transponders, that is, transmitters and/or receivers (generally mobile) capable of being interrogated in a contactless and wireless manner by a unit (generally fixed), called a read and/or write terminal. Generally, transponders extract the power supply required by the electronic circuits included therein from the high-frequency field radiated by an antenna of the read and write terminal. The present invention applies to such systems, be they read-only systems, that is, including a terminal only reading the data from one or several transponders, or read/write systems, in which the transponders contain data that can be modified by the terminal.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
Systems using electromagnetic transponders are based on the use of oscillating circuits including a winding forming an antenna, on the transponder side and on the read/write terminal side. These circuits are intended for being near-field coupled when the transponder enters the field of the read/write terminal.
Generally, terminal 1 is essentially formed of a series oscillating circuit formed of an inductance L1 in series with a capacitor C1 and a resistor R1, between an output terminal 2 of an amplifier or antenna coupler (not shown) and a reference terminal 3 (generally, the ground). The antenna coupler belongs to a circuit 4 for controlling the oscillating circuit and exploiting received data including, among others, a modulator/demodulator and a microprocessor for processing the control signals and the data. The exploitation of the received data is based on a measurement of the current in the oscillating circuit or of the voltage thereacross. Circuit 4 of the terminal generally communicates with different input/output circuits (keyboard, screen, means of exchange with a server, etc.) and/or processing circuits, not shown. The circuits of the read/write terminal generally draw the power necessary to their operation from a supply circuit (not shown) connected, for example, to the electric supply system or to batteries.
A transponder 10, intended for cooperating with a terminal 1, essentially includes a parallel oscillating circuit formed of an inductance L2, in parallel with a capacitor C2 between two input terminals 11, 12 of control and processing circuits 13. Terminals 11, 12 are in practice connected to the input of a rectifying means (not shown), outputs of which form D.C. supply terminals of the circuits internal to the transponder. These circuits generally include, essentially, a microprocessor capable of communicating with other elements (for example, a memory), a demodulator of the signals received from terminal 1, and a modulator for transmitting information to the terminal.
The oscillating circuits of the terminal and of the transponder are generally tuned on the same frequency corresponding to the frequency of an excitation signal of the terminal's oscillating circuit. This high-frequency signal (for example, at 13.56 MHz) is not only used as a transmission carrier but also as a remote supply carrier for the transponder(s) located in the terminal's field. When a transponder 10 is located in the field of a terminal 1, a high-frequency voltage is generated across terminals 11 and 12 of its resonant circuit. This voltage, after being rectified and possibly clipped, is intended for providing the supply voltage of electronic circuits 13 of the transponder. For clarity, the rectifying, clipping, and supply means have not been shown in FIG. 1. In return, the data transmission from the transponder to a terminal is generally performed by modulating the load formed by resonant circuit L2, C2. The load variation is performed at the rate of a so-called back-modulation sub-carrier, of a frequency (for example, 847.5 kHz) smaller than that of the carrier.
The antennas of terminal 1 and of transponder 10 are, in
Conventional transponder systems generally have a limited range, that is, at a certain distance (d,
The remote supply range depends on the amount of magnetic flux emitted by the terminal or reader, which can be "intercepted" by a transponder. This amount directly depends on the coupling factor between antennas L1 and L2, which represents the flux proportion received by the transponder. The coupling factor (between 0 and 1) depends on several factors among which are the mutual inductance between antennas L1 and L2 and the respective size of the antennas, and the tuning of the oscillating circuits on the high-frequency carrier frequency. For given sizes and a given mutual inductance, the coupling is maximum when the oscillating circuits of the terminal and of the transponder are both tuned on the frequency of the remote supply carrier.
A conventional solution to increase the range consists of increasing the size of antenna L1 of the terminal. To keep the magnetic field, the intensity of the current of the excitation signal must then be proportionally increased. A first disadvantage of such a solution is that it increases the necessary system excitation power. A second disadvantage of such a solution is that such a current increase remains limited by the generator structure and requires components having significant size (in particular, a large cross-section of the conductor forming antenna L1). Further, the losses are proportional to the square of the current.
To attempt overcoming this second disadvantage, a known solution is to use, for relatively large antennas (for example, of portico type), a parallel oscillating circuit on the terminal side. This circuit is then voltage-driven and no longer current-driven, which results in a greater increase of the current in the antenna (assembled as a so-called "rejector" circuit) without requiring this current to flow through the generator. Such a solution has the advantage of limiting losses. However, this solution still causes an increase in the power consumption (due to the voltage increase to increase the power). Further, the maximum field at the center of antenna L1 is generally set by standards.
Another disadvantage, mostly present for antennas of relatively large size, is that the magnetic field is not homogeneous in front of the antenna, that is, for a given distance, the intensity of the magnetic field strongly varies according to the position in a plane parallel to the antenna. This disadvantage of course cumulates with the foregoing when the range is desired to be increased by increasing the size of the antenna, that is, the surface area in which it is inscribed.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,142,292 discloses an antenna including a plurality of series-connected coils for transmitting electromagnetic energy.
The present invention aims at overcoming the disadvantages of conventional transponder systems.
The present invention more specifically aims at improving the terminal efficiency, especially by optimizing the impedance matching of the oscillating circuit.
The present invention aims, in particular, at improving the range and/or the signal level available at a given distance, from a read and/or write transponder terminal.
The present invention also aims at improving the homogeneity of the magnetic field generated by a transponder read and/or write terminal.
The present invention also aims at providing a solution which is compatible with existing systems. More precisely, the present invention aims at providing a solution that requires no modification of the transponders and, preferably, no modification of the read/write terminal.
The present invention further aims at providing a solution generating no significant additional power consumption.
To achieve these and other objects, the present invention provides an antenna for generating an electromagnetic field including several planar inductive cells parallel connected in an array and forming, in association with at least one capacitor, an oscillating circuit adapted to being excited by a high-frequency signal.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, all cells have identical inductance values.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the natural resonance frequency of the oscillating circuit is chosen to approximately correspond to the frequency of the excitation signal.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the antenna is connected in series with the capacitor.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the antenna is connected in parallel with the capacitor.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of turns of each cell is chosen by taking account of the surface area in which the cells are inscribed together.
The present invention also provides a terminal for generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field for at least one transponder.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal's oscillating circuit includes a capacitor of greater value than the value that this capacitor should have if it was associated with an antenna of the same size but formed of a single cell.
The foregoing objects, features and advantages of the present invention, will be discussed in detail in the following non-limiting description of specific embodiments in connection with the accompanying drawings.
The same elements have been referred to with the same references in the different drawings. For clarity, these have been drawn out of scale and only those elements of a terminal or of a transponder which are necessary to the understanding of the present invention have been illustrated in the drawings and will be described hereafter. In particular, the circuits for processing and exploiting the exchanged data have not been detailed since they are conventional. They will most often be dedicated or programmable digital circuits. Further, the present invention applies whatever the type of transponder (credit card type, electronic label, etc.), be it or not provided with a microprocessor.
A feature of the present invention is to provide an array antenna, that is, an antenna formed of several independent and coplanar loops or cells that are connected in parallel.
A terminal 20 according to the present invention differs from a conventional terminal by its oscillating circuit. For the rest, it includes circuits 4 for controlling, exploiting, and processing data, a base 6, and a support 7 for the antenna, for example, a printed circuit wafer on which are made the conductive tracks forming the antenna.
According to the present invention, antenna 30 of the oscillating circuit is formed of several coplanar and non-concentric cells or loops, which are placed or formed side by side on support 7, each cell being formed of one or several coplanar concentric turns. Electrically, this amounts to providing several (for example, four) inductances L11, L12, L13, and L14 connected, preferably, in parallel.
It should be noted that the association of the inductances in an antenna array must be such that all cells generate fields, the lines of which add (all are in the same direction).
In the embodiment of
Other alternatives may of course be envisaged to connect the inductances in parallel with a common capacitor.
Providing several distinct inductances to form the antenna has several advantages.
A first advantage of the present invention is that by providing several coplanar cells to form the terminal's oscillating circuit, the field lines are more homogeneous in the antenna's axis (a virtual axis approximately corresponding to the perpendicular line at the center of the circle in which the antenna cells are inscribed), whereby the power received by the transponder in the field is also more homogeneous for different lateral shifting positions with respect to the system's axis of symmetry.
Another advantage is that the circuit feasibility is guaranteed. Indeed, due to the high frequencies (several tens of MHz) of the carrier and to the antenna size (surface area) requirement to increase the range, the value of the capacitor required for a conventional antenna can become smaller than the stray capacitance of the inductance, making its realization impossible. By providing an association of several inductances in parallel, the use of one or several capacitors of greater value, and thus more easily greater than the respective stray capacitances of the inductances, is allowed. In the example of
Another advantage of a parallel association of the cells forming the antenna is that by decreasing the value of the equivalent inductance, the overvoltage developed thereacross and, accordingly, the parasitic electric field resulting therefrom, are decreased.
Another advantage of the present invention is that its implementation requires no modification of the transponder. Further, on the terminal side, the modification is minor since the antenna of the present invention can include, like conventional antennas, two connection terminals only for the terminal's circuits.
It should be noted that capacitor C1′ (
In the example of
Of course, the present invention is likely to have various alterations, modifications, and improvements which will readily occur to those skilled in the art. In particular, the geometric sizing and the value of the inductances will be chosen according to the application and, in particular, to the desired range and to the desired excitation frequencies and powers. For example, after having determined the size of the cells and the value of the capacitance, the number of turns of the antennas is determined according to the inductances desired to respect the tuning. Further, the choice of the geometry (circular, rectangular, etc.) of the antennas may depend on factors (for example, the place of implantation, the terminal shape, etc.) other than those of the present invention.
To determine the number of turns of the cells of an antenna according to the present invention, account will preferably be taken of the following characteristics.
As a first approximation, it may be considered that the value of an inductance wound in a same plane is directly proportional to the square of the number of turns and to the average surface area in which the turns are inscribed. Magnetic field H, in the plane and at the center of a circular inductance of N turns of average diameter D, approximately amounts to N*I/D, where I represents the current. According to the present invention, this reasoning is applied while assuming that, whatever its shape (square, rectangular, hexagonal, circular, oval, etc.), a cell is inscribed in a circle of diameter D, as well as the antenna formed of the plurality of cells is inscribed in a circle of diameter D′. Based on this assumption, it is possible to determine the number of turns that the cells must have according to the other parameters that are determined. In particular, it will be chosen to enhance the equivalent inductance or the field according to the type of terminal and, more specifically, to the general size desired for the antenna.
Indeed, for an antenna of one cell, it may be considered that the inductance is four times as high for two turns than for a single one. Assuming an excitation by the same current, the field at the center and in the plane of the cell is doubled while passing from one to two turns.
By applying this reasoning to a comparison between a large antenna of a single cell and an antenna of same size of several cells connected in parallel and inscribed in the same surface, a relatively high number of turns may be chosen if it is desired to favor the field increase and a relatively small number of turns may be chosen to enhance a decrease of the equivalent inductance.
For example, the field resulting from 4 cells in parallel of 4 turns each is, at the center of the antenna, substantially the same as that of a cell of the same general surface area and of 2 turns, while the value of the equivalent inductance is divided by 4. This is a particularly valuable effect to increase the value of the oscillating circuit's capacitor and to get rid of the problems of stray capacitances in large antennas.
As a comparison, the equivalent inductance of 4 cells in parallel of 8 turns each is approximately the same as the inductance of a cell of same general surface area and of 2 turns while the resulting field is, at the center of the antenna, approximately doubled. This case will thus be favored for small antennas.
Among the applications of the present invention are contactless chip cards (for example, identification cards for access control, electronic purse cards, cards for storing information about the card holder, consumer fidelity cards, toll television cards, etc.) and read or read/write systems for these cards (for example, access control terminals or porticoes, automatic dispensers, computer terminals, and telephone terminals televisions or satellite decoders, etc.).
Such alterations, modifications, and improvements are intended to be part of this disclosure, and are intended to be within the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description is by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting. The present invention is limited only as defined in the following claims and the equivalents thereto.

Moscow, May 8: Even while denying UN secretary-general Kofi Annan's charge that expecting veto power in an expanded Security Council was "unrealistic" and "Utopian", the government is preparing the ground for downscaling expectations to a more realistic level.
A senior government official accompanying the Prime Minister's entourage to the Russian capital claimed that India was not "fixated" on getting veto power as a member of the expanded UN Security Council. Instead, India, he claimed, wanted to pursue UN reforms which would be non-discriminatory and lead to greater democratisation of the world body.
New Delhi, it seems, is in the process of qualifying its position on seeking membership of the Security Council with veto powers, citing complexity of the reform process and the pursuit of democratic principles.
The recourse to a principled stand may provide a possible exit from the jingoistic and, what increasingly seems to be, unrealistic public posturing on membership of the Security Council on a par with its present five permanent members.
"We are not holding on to (the position of seeking) veto power. But this does not mean that if we do not get veto power we would be happy. We would be happy if nobody had veto power at all," the official said.
Clarifying the position further, the official claimed that India was not talking of "veto or no veto".
"India's position on UN reforms is premised on two principles ' that the reforms should be non-discriminatory and that they should lead to greater democratisation of the UN. India is not in favour of some countries enjoying veto power. Ideally, there should be no veto and every member country should enjoy equal rights."
It was important, the official added, that India pushed for reforms that would lead to "greater democratisation and greater participation in the decision-making processes" at the UN. At a time when the world recognised that global challenges had to be faced multilaterally, such democratisation of the world body was imperative, he said.
India, he claimed, did not have unrealistic expectations knowing full well that reforming the UN was not going to be easy. "There are a lot of complexities involved and we realise that a possible scenario could be that there is no reform at all," the official pointed out.
It was India's view that for the first time in many years, a certain momentum had been generated globally for UN reforms and there was a need to recognise that.
"There is a window of opportunity and it is necessary for us to try and make use of it to move UN reforms forward. This is not to say, however, that we have unrealistic expectations. We are conscious of the problems that exist," the official added.
The solidarity of the G4 (India, Japan, Germany and Brazil), all contenders for inclusion in the expanded Security Council, was intact, the official said.
"The G4 is playing an extremely important role. The G4 is also not fixated on just the issue of veto power. It wants to carry forward the joint efforts into the next phase and see how the framework resolution for the reforms and the negotiations on the membership of the Security Council evolve. We want to take all the 191 members of the UN on board on this. In this, our expectations are neither unrealistic nor Utopian," he said.

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Spanish side Valencia's young left-back Jose Gaya when the summer transfer window opens next year June in a bid to provide a long term solution to the position presently been occupied by first choice Nacho Monreal of Spain and his English international back-up Kieran Gibbs.
Nacho Monreal recently signed a new 3-year deal with the Gunners as early as this summer in what should be his last contract for the North London side considering his age while Gibbs has not been given a new contract with just 18 months left on his current deal, which runs out in the summer of 2018.
Jose Gaya has been a solid performer for struggling Valencia since he broke into the starting line-up making him one of the most exciting young fullbacks around with 11 appearances for the Spanish U21 side as well.
His performances have already attracted interest from European heavyweights like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
If an Arsenal deal for Gaya becomes a reality it would represent the second time within a year that the Gunners are raiding the Mestalla following the signing of German defender Shkrodan Mustafi in a deal that was reported to be around £32 in the summer.

Cartoon Network, the number one kids' entertainment channel, has introduced the latest, original animated series from Cartoon Network Studios -'Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.'
Craig McCracken, the creator of the Emmy Award Winning series 'The Powerpuff Girls,' has created this series too. It is a character-based comedy that talks about the wonderful bond of friendship and how much fun one can have in the company of their best buddies. The series features eminent theatre personality, Tom Alter, as voice of the Administrator of Foster's Home - Herriman.
This initiative is reiterative of the network's localisation strategy and its commitment to bring quality-animated programmes to cartoon lovers in India. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is McCracken's highly anticipated follow-up to Cartoon Network's most successful animated project, The Powerpuff Girls.
Asked about the rationale behind creating the character of an Imaginary Friend, McCracken said, "I asked myself the reasons a kid would create an Imaginary Friend and I learnt that they would create a friend who would be a protector, a companion to hang out with, a friend out of loneliness or a scapegoat to blame everything on. So, by taking these basic motivations, we then created many of the characters for Foster's."

Time to tell you a bit more about my all time favorite hero. Time for me to tell you a little bit more about the one and only Bruce Lee. I think I gave you a sufficient enough introduction in my last post to the man ahead of his time right up to his premature death. So let me get on with it. I'll start with what was defined as a controversial death. I've deliberately highlighted the legend's life in non-chronological order in order to keep this sentimental post as interesting as possible. Hope you enjoy it. If you're a Bruce Lee Fan like me, you will.
- THE DEATH OF BRUCE LEE – When Bruce Lee died so suddenly at the young age of thirty two, there were all sorts of rumors doing the rounds. That was before the time I really started to get in to the life and times of the martial arts master and philosopher. But as I immersed myself in thousands of pages of literature, I got to know the real Bruce Lee and that his death was nothing short of a freak accident and truly a great tragedy. One of Bruce Lee's most famous pupils, Chuck Norris, to my mind, summed up his untimely death best. Norris believed that Bruce Lee's earlier sensitization to a drug he was using to treat an injury may have contributed towards his death. It all went awry when doctors surreptitiously gave him the drug equagesic after the man initially complained of experiencing sudden headaches.
- BRUCE LEE'S LEGACY – Chuck Norris is part of Bruce Lee's legacy. It's one of the most honest accounts to following in the footsteps of the giant. After his death, many martial arts schools were set up in his name, but in accordance with his wishes, many of them had to close down because they weren't doing any true justice to his original philosophies and training methodologies. People are still making fun of Chuck Norris to this day, feeding off his controversial and misunderstood comments on public life. But as a private man, Norris is humble and disciplined, staying true to the philosophies and teachings of the master.
- THE REAL KARATE KID – During the latter half of the nineteen sixties during his time in America, the young Bruce Lee challenged the best of the best at successive karate championships and using his then unorthodox fighting styles, he confused and conquered them all.
- BRUCE LEE'S ACTING CAREER – The standout movie for me, and most Bruce Lee fans agree to this, was Enter the Dragon. I remember how he had to climb all these towers to get to the top and slay the last and toughest opponent. During the course of all his martial arts battles, Bruce Lee punched up a young Chuck Norris. Norris gave a good account of himself but as it goes in the movies, the star of the show always wins the fight. As kids, we used to watch re-runs of Bruce Lee's old movies at our local theatre. Afterwards we used to play act and fight with each other all the way home. What fun we had.
- THE PHILOSOPHIES OF BRUCE LEE – I was quite alarmed when I read for the first time that Bruce Lee was an atheist. To this day, I still don't believe a word of it. It started from an interview with a dispassionate reporter who asked the pivotal question. Lee simply refuted the question, choosing to be cryptic and mysterious, something like the way the ancient prophets from different religions used to give their takes on material and spiritual life. My wise father always used to say that if you believe in yourself, you believe in an almighty.
- BRUCE LEE'S POETRY – Wow, I had no idea that this man could write. This was before the time I really started to get into his life and work. Bruce Lee's poetic style was ahead of its time, written in free verse and with echoes of the somber side of life. Critics say that Lee's writing was reminiscent of the style used by the famous poet, Robert Frost.
- HEALTH AND FITNESS BY BRUCE LEE – Bruce Lee was famous for his discipline and innovation during his unique martial arts training sessions. His training was unique because he was creating something new, never experienced before by seasoned martial arts practitioners with far more experience than him. Bruce Lee was, however, a firm believer in fitness training before and after and around the actual martial arts training. He taught that it was pointless fighting when the body was not in peak, physical condition. It was also important to train the mind to focus. Nutrition was also very important. It seems as though Bruce Lee was way ahead of his time where healthy eating was concerned. You see, long before we had even heard about organic eating practices and natural alternatives, Lee was a holistic adherent. His diet was focused on protein enrichment and all the food that he ate was natural. It should come as no surprise to you that he was strictly against eating junk food.
- BRUCE LEE THE TEACHER – While Bruce Lee's acting career began when he was still only a child, he also starting teaching at a young age. Well, what a dumb thing for me to say. It would have to be the case. After all, he died when he was only thirty two. Interestingly, he dropped out of college during his time in America in order to follow his heart, a fragile one as it turns out to be. He had a heck of a collection of books to continue with his own learning journey. And, of course, everything he learned and discovered, he passed on to his devotees.
He was and is a true legend.
Long may it live. I wrote this post off by heart. I'm so proud of myself. Hope you enjoyed it.

Pork BBQ or Pork Shish-Kabobs is one of the most popular street foods in the Philippines. It originally served as a snack accompanied with liquor or beer, but has found it's way into Philippine cuisine as an appetizer. I have tasted several versions of this dish and they are all good.
Then I came across a friend of mine's version and it was even better, but when he gave me his recipe it was measured in bulk. The soy sauce was measured in gallons as well as the pineapple juice.
He used to work for an Asian restaurant and that's where he learned this recipe. Obviously it was way too much marinade for household use. That's why I came up with my own version, a toned down version.
One major difference between our recipes is that he uses Kikkoman soy sauce and I used the Filipino Silver Swan soy sauce. He used lemon and I used calamansi. Anyway this pork BBQ recipe is very good. However, there is a small price to pay.
The marinating time requires at least 2 days, no more than three days, and definitely has to be kept in the fridge while marinating. Let's take a look at the recipe!
For the Marinade:
- 2 Lbs of pork butt or pork belly cut in 1×1 in. cubes
- 1 Whole garlic, peeled and smashed (one whole head)
- 1 Quart of pineapple juice
- 2 Cups of soy sauce (Silver Swan)
- 1 Cup of dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbs. Ground black pepper
- 1 Tbs. MSG (Vetsin) – optional
- 8 Tbs. Calamansi or 2 Lemons
- Bamboo skewers soaked in water
For the Basting
- 3 Cups of left over marinade
- 1 Tsp. MSG
- 1 Tsp. Ground black pepper
- 3 Tbs. of Corn oil
- In a large bowl mix all ingredients and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Cut pork in 1x1in. cubes and skewer them about five or six pieces per stick.
- Make sure the bamboo skewers have been soaked in water over night to avoid splitting.
- After all the meat is on the skewers place them in a container with lid big enough for all of them.
- Then pour the marinade on top and mix it well.
- Make sure none of the meat sticks together.
- Place the container in the fridge and let it marinate for at least two days or a maximum of three days.
- After marinating pour 3 cups of the marinade in a separate bowl and add the msg, ground black pepper, and 2 Tbs. of corn oil.
- Mix well and use it for basting.
- Grill over hot coals or on a gas grill and serve with fried rice or serve it as Pulutan. Enjoy!
After two days of marinating!

Picamilon is a dietary supplement made from a combination of niacin (also known as vitamin B3) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Sometimes referred to as nicotinoyl-GABA, picamilon is sold as a prescription drug in Russia.

Niacin is known to promote widening of the blood vessels, while gamma-aminobutyric acid plays a key role in regulating nervous system activity. An amino acid found naturally in your body, GABA acts as a neurotransmitter (a type of chemical responsible for carrying information from one cell to another). Research indicates that people with certain mental health problems (such as major depression and anxiety) may be more likely to have low levels of GABA.

Uses

Picamilon is often referred to as a "smart drug," a class of drugs used in alternative medicine to enhance brain function. In addition, picamilon is said to help treat the following conditions:

anxiety (including social anxiety)

depression

high blood pressure

migraine

Some alternative medicine proponents claim that picamilon can also help sharpen memory, enhance mood, and protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Benefits

So far, few scientific studies have tested the health effects of picamilon. However, some preliminary research suggests that picamilon may offer certain benefits.

For example, a rat-based study released by Kiev's Institute of Biochemistry in 1998 determined that picamilon shows promise for the treatment and prevention of diabetic neuropathy (a condition marked by nerve damage that results from diabetes-related elevation in blood sugar levels). However, there is currently a lack of clinical trials testing picamilon's effects against diabetic neuropathy.

In addition, a 2010 study published in the Russian journal Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology found that picamilon may help protect against hypokinesia. In tests on rats, the authors of the study found that injection of picamilon helped restore the animal's number of active GABA receptors (a class of molecules that respond to GABA). A condition marked by decreased bodily movement, hypokinesia is sometimes associated with Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.

Caveats

Due to a lack of research, little is known about the safety of regular use of picamilon. However, there's some concern that picamilon may trigger a number of side effects, such as headache, tingling, and nausea. Picamilon may interact with certain medications, such as benzodiazepines.

It's important to keep in mind that supplements haven't been tested for safety and dietary supplements are largely unregulated. In some cases, the product may deliver doses that differ from the specified amount for each herb. In other cases, the product may be contaminated with other substances such as metals. Also, the safety of supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established. You can get further tips on using supplements here.

Alternatives

If you're seeking to improve brain function, a number of natural remedies may serve as an alternative to picamilon. For instance, omega-3 fatty acids have been found to enhance cognitive function, preserve memory, and protect against depression and Alzheimer's disease. Found naturally in foods like flaxseed oil and oily fish (including salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, and herring), omega-3 fatty acids are also sold in supplement form.

There's also some evidence that certain alternative therapies may help increase GABA levels in the brain. For instance, preliminary research suggests that herbs like kava and valerian may elevate GABA levels by stimulating the production of GABA or by slowing the body's breakdown of GABA. In addition, some research shows that practicing yoga may help increase your GABA levels and, in turn, improve mood and alleviate anxiety.

Where to Find It

Widely available for purchase online, picamilon is sold in some drugstores.

A Word From Verywell

Due to the limited research, it's too soon to recommend picamilon as a treatment for any condition. It should be noted that treating a condition with picamilon and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you're considering the use of picamilon for a condition (such as high blood pressure or Parkinson's disease), consult your physician before taking the drug, as it may not be appropriate or safe for people with certain conditions, such as cancer.

John Brennan has been selected by President Obama to head the CIA, and will likely be confirmed eventually by the Senate. So who is he?
John Brennan's 25 years in the CIA began when he answered a classified ad. Brennan, 57, has a B.A. in political science, a Master's in Government and Middle Eastern studies and is fluent in Arabic. Obama considered tapping Brennan to head the CIA in 2008, but liberals who tied Brennan to waterboarding during the Bush administration opposed his nomination, and Brennan withdrew. Brennan later said that while he has no regrets about the work he has done with the CIA, he opposes "advanced interrogation techniques," (a.k.a. torture) such as waterboarding.
One thing that Brennan does not oppose are the use of drone strikes on militants in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Brennan has overseen the use of drones during Obama's presidency, calling them "legal, ethical and wise."
Since 2008, John Brennan has served as Obama's Counterterrorism Advisor, an appointed position that does not require confirmation. Brennan started his career in the CIA near the end of Reagan's second term and his worked in the administrations of both George Bushes, Clinton and Obama. Given that he has done so with little controversy, it is likely that Brennan will be confirmed by the Senate without a big fight.

Hi Friends –
Until just now, I had not realized that I haven't written here in over 7 months. I'm shocked and a little disappointed about that. I AM still running – nothing will stop me from that – and I AM still chasing that brass ring of a BQ and I AM still knocking out states on my 50 states quest… (I now have 19) – however, I had to make some changes in my training.
I was tired. So, so, so very tired.
I was having a hard time keeping with training and although I got faster for a while, I was starting to slow down in races (though not in training) and it was something I complained about right after the Tobacco Road marathon last year. I've not done a full marathon since – only half marathons (which, by the way, are no small feat, so I'm not at all diminishing them – I just thought that at this point in the year, I'd have a nice shiny BQ, or at least a PR at the 26.2 distance…).
While attempting to train for a spring marathon, I finally broke down and got a FitBit (all my runner friends were getting really fancy runner watches, but none of them had *all* the things I wanted, so I got a FitBit Charge HR to hold me over until the Garmin 235 has been out for a while) and I noticed a trend: my resting heart rate was higher than I expected… Also, my heart rate jumped really fast when I started a run and took foreeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvveeeeeeerrrr to recover. I had lost fitness 😦 How could I have let that happen? I was a Runnah! Running is supposed to make you fitter, thinner, healthier! I ate well (what all the running blogs told me to eat), I followed training plans (which I blabbed about on this very blog for a couple of years), I did speed intervals, hill workouts, and I ran 30, 40, 50 miles a week… and, yet… I was getting unfit… and fat… and slow… and frustrated!!
Apparently, that was too much. I'm over trained (admitting it is half the battle, friends) and probably have been for at least a year, and (like any other injury), I need to take the time to recover. An active recovery (of course), but a recovery all the same.
While attempting the training for that same spring marathon, and complaining about my lack of energy to a friend, she recommended that I read The Big Book of Endurance Training to help me learn a little more about heart rate training. I've found, though, it is teaching me a lot more in the process about just being honest with myself about how I feel and how to be healthy and still reach my goals (they can be complimentary).
Although was not completely finished with the book, I immediately started to implement some of the tactics he discussed. My first shock: my resting heart rate was still really high and getting higher. Okay, I thought, maybe it is the FitBit – it can't be all that accurate – so I bought a chest strap. To my surprise, the FitBit was really all that accurate – they are usually within a couple beats of each other, for what it is worth. It became clear that I needed to change my strategy and try things a different way to see if I can make my goals a reality.
I've been following heart rate training for about 3 weeks now and I am starting to feel a little better. I'm starting to have some energy again and I no longer dread run days. For the most part, I'm sleeping better and I have craved sugar a lot less lately. I follow a schedule when I run 2 days, take day off, and then run 2 days. I keep my runs to under 45 minutes for now (except for the long that is once a week) and keep my pace so that it is within a range as outlined in the book. My heart rate is still keeping me pretty slow and I can't say I'm not frustrated about it (especially when I see friends cruising along at 8:00 paces), but I've got my eyes on the prize and I really want to get there the right way. I've been walking more and actually warming up and cooling down as appropriate, steps I skipped in the past and shouldn't have. I am getting faster, but I have a long way to go and I need to be patient (to me, friends, that is the toughest part of training…).
I ran my first half marathon last weekend (the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon) with this strategy and came in at 2:00 on the nose – one of my slower half marathons, but the faster end of my target completion time. My heart rate was just a tad over the target rate set by my heart rate monitor (I train at a lower rate) and I didn't have to refuel or stop once throughout the entire race. I actually felt good throughout and just after – not even sore muscles. I hope to get that post up soon – and of course there are port-a-potty stories involved – haha.
I am running my second Half Marathon since I started heart rate training in NYC next week. My goal is to finish a tad faster than Myrtle Beach (with fewer Potty moments…) Wish me luck 🙂
Until next time…

How to make the page break corners round?Asked by criterions on June 19, 2015 at 09:45 AM
I added a rounded corners to one of my forms (I like the look better) but it is clashing with the page break widget. The page break widget is square and interferes with the bottom rounded corners of the form. Is it possible to stylize the page break to have rounded corners?
JotForm Support
Please add the following CSS Code to your form:
#cid_17 div.form-pagebreak {
border-radius : 25px 25px 25px 25px;
#cid_43 div.form-pagebreak {
border-radius : 25px 25px 25px 25px;
From the form builder, open your form in edit mode, click on Preferences, click the Form Styles tab, add the CSS code as indicated below:
Please read this guide to show you step by step how to add CSS code: http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
If you have any other question, please let us know.
Thanks - works great except for the final page. When I get to the submit page, the back button appears within a square container.
JotForm Support
Adding this code should change all the "Back" buttons to the same look:
border-radius : 25px 25px 25px 25px;
If you have any further questions, let us know and we will be happy to help.
sorry - I described it wrong. I don't want the button itself to be rounded but the page break 'container' to be rounded. On the first two pages it works great and matches perfectly with the form's rounded corners. But when I go to the last where the submit button is, the page break 'container' returns to its square status and messes up the form's rounded edges.
Hopefully I'm making some kind of sense. :)
JotForm Support
I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
Please add the following CSS:
.form-pagebreak-back-container, .form-pagebreak, .form-pagebreak-next-container {
background: none transparent;
As you can see, we are triggering the containers.
Let us know if we can assist you further.
Awesome- thanks a bunch!

Germany eyes truce extension in Ukraine talks
Germany's foreign minister said he hoped the warring sides in Ukraine's conflict could agree to extend a shaky truce, ahead of peace talks in Berlin later Wednesday.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he also wanted negotiators to move forward on organising local elections in eastern Ukraine, warning that each round of fruitless talks risks undermining a fragile peace agreement.
"We have achieved a certain calm (on the ground) but there is constantly escalation and re-escalation," said Steinmeier ahead of the talks with his Russian, Ukrainian and French counterparts.
"It cannot go on like that as each meeting that fails to yield results hurts the credibility of the Minsk agreement," he said.
Russia, Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine agreed on a peace deal in the Belarussian capital in February 2015.
But the truce has suffered frequent violations and there has also been deadlock on organising local elections in the rebel-held Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
On April 29, Kiev and the pro-Russian rebels agreed on a new truce in honour of Orthodox Easter, but barely hours after it took effect fresh fighting erupted.
"I am going on the principle that the parties in the conflict have an interest for the dialogue to be both substantial and successful," said Steinmeier. "I hope that we can get things moving here today."
Steinmeier on Tuesday expressed exasperation at the pace of the talks, complaining that "in terms of seeking a political solution, things have been moving along at snail's pace".
"It cannot go on like that," he said.
Germany and France are spearheading efforts to end the fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland.
The West accuses Russia of supporting the revolt -- which has now killed more than 9,300 people -- a charge Moscow vehemently denies.
Along with Russia's annexation of Ukraine's strategic peninsula of Crimea, the pro-Moscow rebellion in the east has plunged Russia's relations with the West to a post-Cold War low.

About Charlotte
Our names are Charlotte and Joshua - both 22 years of age, work full time and currently live with Charlotte's Grandmother in Harlow, Essex. We both drive and have had experience with a range of animals throughout our lives. We previously did pet boarding in our home up until June 2016, we had to stop due to Charlotte's Grandmother becoming fragile and prone to falls with animals in the home.
Following several pet sitting in the owner's home assignments, we have decided to continue offering this service for all animals. This means we would live in your home for the duration of your holiday, avoiding discomfort for your pet if they were to be moved to a different environment and your home looking empty and vulnerable. We would of course respect your home, keeping it clean and tidy while following your pet's routine.
As we both work full time, we would be out the house from 8.30am-4.30pm, Monday to Friday. If in Harlow, Joshua would be able to pop in during his lunch if needed at 12-1pm.
We decided to sign up to DogBuddy in order to earn some extra money for a deposit on our first home together. With Pet Sitting, we get to visit different towns which helps us decide where we would like to move to, while getting to love your pet too – win, win situation for everyone!
Please feel free to get in touch with us and ask questions – we will come to visit you, your pet(s) and your home prior to your holiday so you can go away with peace of mind knowing that your pet(s) and home are in safe hands.

Colonial Era
The Colonial era began in the 1400s. They were planning to sail to Asia, but ran into the Western Hemisphere instead. Independence was declared by the U.S. in 1776 and by most Latin American states in the early 1800s. European states then conquered parts of Africa and Asia. This is referred to as Imperialism, which is control of territory already occupied and organized by an indigenous society. The UK assembled the largest colonial empire to date. Britain controlled colonies on every continent in existence. Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and Canada were controlled by Britain. Both Britain and France also conquered a large number of strategic islands in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. France controlled the second largest colonial empire. Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium all established colonies outside of Europe.

88th Postal and Courier Regiment RLC
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
88th Postal and Courier Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, is a regiment of the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom.
The regiment was formed in the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993 with four squadrons. In 2006, two squadrons were disbanded and another two transferred in from 87th Postal and Courier Regiment.
It is based on the outskirts of Grantham UK at the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks, 88 PC regiment shares this base with other RLC regiments such as:
- 166 supply
- 168 pioneer
As the RLC TA is a national unit (meaning it recruits persons from all over the UK) 88 PC is made up of people from many places. Most members of the regiment have transferable civilian skills and simply bring those existing skills into a new environment.
Within 88 PC there has been sufficient scope to attain a full driving, motorbike and HGV licence as well as parachute wings (worn above the RLC flash on the right arm). 88 PC deployed on exercise abroad annually to Cyprus, Germany etc, they also had many opportunities to attend adventurous training (AT) in Scotland as well as many regimental training events held at weekends/weekdays at Grantham. In essence, where ever the Army went 88 PC deployed as well, this can be said for almost all RLC units. However, under FR2020 the Regiment amalgamates with 162 Movement Control Regiment to become 162 Postal, Courier and Movement Regimenr RLC [162 PC&Mov Regt RLC] with an RHQ in Bilborough, Nottingham and four task squadrons based in Hartlepool, Coulby Newham, Nottingham, Swindon and Marlow. Formation Day was 1 October 2013.[1]
- 860 HQ Squadron
- 871 Squadron (2006 to date)
- 872 Squadron (2006 to 2013)
- 881 Squadron (1993-2006)
- 882 Squadron (1993-2006)
- 883 Squadron (1993 to date)
- 884 Squadron (1993 to 2013)

About MeIm Lauren, 21 years old. I started out taking photos for one of my friend's parents to build his portfolio. Now i model for my friend who is a photo major and needs models for her class assignments. I recently got braces but my teeth are already straight, i just prefer not to smile with gleaming metal haha. I like to have fun with the creativity of photography. Im very laid back and full of personality. Love to have fun and dance my way through life. Danced for 9 years and go linedancing with my friends every week, not only is it fun but its also a great workout. If youre at all interested just feel free to message me. Btw i wont do nudes as im not comfortable with that when i dont know the photographer.
