Finally, the module aims to encourage students to develop their employability skills during the final stage of their degree studies for those seeking promotion on a Management role to gain transferable skills to assist promotion. Rural Poverty (20 credits) The module explores the contemporary issues surrounding both the content and context of the subject of poverty in rural areas. Drawing on recent studies, the module discusses both the usefulness and difficulties surrounding the issue of defining rurality.

SolarWinds just joined the Microsoft System Center Alliance since we recently acquired EminentWare and then released SolarWinds Patch Manager, which manages patches for 3rd party apps with System Center. I'm curious as to how you guys are managing your patches currently? Are you using software to help automate this process?
13 Replies
Apr 24, 2012 at 2:17 UTC
Just using WSUS + GP for now since they are both free. Looking into the Microsoft System Center suite.
Apr 24, 2012 at 2:17 UTC
Patch management is a pipe dream right now
Apr 24, 2012 at 2:30 UTC
We've got it slated for 3rd quarter but I'm taking a long look at Kaseya. They have 1st and 3rd party patch management that looks pretty slick.
Apr 24, 2012 at 2:30 UTC
Currently using SCCM 2007, though I haven't started the patch management side of it yet. Look forward to trying it once things slow down here.
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:04 UTC
We are rolling out Manage Engine that Zoho bought.
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:06 UTC
A mixture of GPO and PDQ Deploy Free for some programs. Planning on using WSUS for Microsoft Updates. Just need to get it set up, configured, and tested when I get some time (that I'm not on Spiceworks!).
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:10 UTC
Currently sneaker-netting to roughly 600 pc's. Have messed around a little with PDQ Deploy.
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:18 UTC
We are using a plain old WSUS server right now, and looking into moving into a WSUS server which is managed by SCCM.

Bluecube ICT is an IT service provider.
GP. combined with WSUS
Apr 25, 2012 at 7:31 UTC
Currently using vCenter Protect Essential Plus by VMware for patch management and AV/Anti Malware.
Apr 25, 2012 at 9:29 UTC
Another vote for vCenter Protect, formerly Shavlik
Apr 25, 2012 at 10:46 UTC
WSUS plus LUP (http://sourceforge.net/projects/localupdatepubl). Works well, free through and through.
Apr 26, 2012 at 9:23 UTC
Great to see that many of you are using the Microsoft products (WSUS, ConfigMgr) for patch management, at least for Microsoft products.
However, neither product provides direct capabilities for patching 3rd party products. ConfigMgr provides a tool (System Center Updates Publisher) that can be used to build packages – but doing so can be tedious and time consuming, and there are no standards of behavior from one vendor to the next, so every package is different from another. WSUS does not even provide a toolset!
This is where we believe Solarwinds Patch Manager fills a huge gap with pre-packaged and tested updates for the commonly used desktop applications (Reader, Flash, Java Runtime, iTunes, QuickTime, Firefox, Chrome, and others) through automated synchronization services (similar to how WSUS obtains Microsoft updates), while fully leveraging all of the effort you've already invested in your current environment.

Minneapolis native Rachael Leigh Cook began her career as a model at the tender age of 10, gracing Milk-Bone(R) boxes and Target(R) ads nationwide in the USA. She also appeared in a now-famous (in the USA) anti-drug TV spot in which, armed with a frying pan, she bashed her way through a kitchen to show the disastrous effects of heroin. At 14, her modeling agency sent her to read for a short film ("26 Summer Street") and changed the course of her young life--from that moment on, Cook was hooked on acting. When she reached L.A. later that year, Cook bypassed the wannabe stage and nailed her first audition (for the part of a budding entrepreneur in "The Baby-Sitters Club"). She returned to theaters three months later in the Jonathan Taylor Thomas vehicle "Tom and Huck", then filled her calendar with appearances in independent and made-for-TV movies. She divided her time between Minneapolis and Tinseltown, shuttling from school events to movie shoots with her mother in tow. Cook's starlet status crystallized in 1999, when she starred opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in the Pygmalion retelling "She's All That". Her on-screen transformation from ugly duckling to ravishing beauty scored several teen-oriented awards and made Cook a hot commodity in Hollywood. She signed for a handful of plum follow-up roles, including a troubled adolescent in Sylvester Stallone's "Get Carter", a frontier gal in "Texas Rangers", and the caterwauling lead in the live-action version of "Josie and the Pussycats". Cook now lives primarily in Los Angeles, but she returns home frequently to visit with friends and family. Her father, Tom (a former stand-up comic), is a social worker in the public school system, and her younger brother, Ben, is an aspiring filmmaker.
Name: Rachael Leigh Cook
Known for: She's All That
BirthDay: 04, Oct ,1979

I just feel like crying tonight. It felt good.
Sometimes I can't be as strong as I hope I would be.
Sometimes I can't fool my own feelings about how I feel.
I just hope I can cast away these doubts I had of someone.
I wish I can control these anger, these frustrations...
I'm lucky I have been favored with some money and an opportunity this month. I am grateful. But there is this hole inside me... I feel like there's something missing... I feel like there's a void that suck out all of my good feelings.
Plus, there's something about him that has been bothering me...
God, please help me...

I'm setting up a new laptop for a remote user. Our setup is using sbs for users to remotely connect, they have access to our Terminal Server and can run a couple of the company's apps.
My problem is I was setting up the system and i get the following error message
"This portion of the REmote Web Workplace requires the microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again."
So it seems simple, manage add-ons and enable remote desktop. The problem comes up in that there is no add-on menu that has anything to do with remote desktop, terminal services, etc.
Its a brand new laptop, xp sp3, pristine, just office 2007 installed. I have no idea why its doing this.
So far i've tried the following:
-setting the IE settings to low
-adding the remote site as a trusted site
-customizing the security settings to allow all the activex downloads
-double checked user has remote access (I can use my computer to login and run the program for the user.
Seems like it shouldn't be this complicated, but can't figure it out...help

Ok, so It seemed too simple to work. I opened IE,
Clicked Tools
Clicked Advanced
Clicked "reset" for resetting all Internet Explorer Settings.
Somehow, the setting got stuck in there, and no matter what, wouldn't change. This allowed me to put everything to default, and then deal with the popup when it came. When it popped up, I accepted and it installed the activeX control properly.
Since i answered my own question, can i give myself the best response? (worth a try)
Dec 30, 2008 at 10:50 UTC
Another future fix - one of the Windows updates disabled the RWW activeX. You will find it when you manage your plug-ins. Reable and go.
Nov 27, 2009 at 1:56 UTC
Gregory is right for fixing your remote desktop active x- go to your control panel to manage the plug-ins, find RWW active X, and click the little box to re-enable it.

This is an argumentative/topical blog post. If these are not your things, I suggest you avoid reading further.
Whenever I find a good Pasta with any sort of warning/flag on it (I.E. "Offensive Content", "Rape", "Phobia Abusing") my opinion suddenly drops of it. I believe the Creepypasta community is above these things over all, and we don't need a layer of protection to stop "Offensive Content". Thankfully, it is hardly ever done on the wiki, but it is everywhere on other Creepypasta sources.
The protection to not get offended by Creepypastas stops the disturbing factors from ever spreading. Since when did Creepypasta get renamed Tumblr?
Certain aspects should be learned from the Author of the story, and what to expect from them. For instance- my own Creepypastas often share a very Anti-Christian view and standpoint, but that doesn't mean I need to put a OFFENSIVE TO CHRISTIANS flag above it.
Horror needs no boundaries. The only single acceptable "Trigger warning" is our NSFW flag.
Again, this hardly ever happens on the Wiki, but I thought it needed to be said.
Do you have a different opinion on the topic? Comment below and state why.

Synopsis: This volume's aim is to clarify, criticize and theoretically develop some of Whitehead's major philosophic ideas and insights. Eighteen distinguished contributors follow Whitehead in his unique attempt to integrate the often disparate concerns of science (including mathematics and mathematical logic), art, religion, social life and common sense. They manage to avoid the twin pitfalls of uncritical acceptance and impatient rejection of Whitehead's thought. They delineate Whitehead's indebtedness to and divergence from the philosophic traditions of Plato, Leibniz, Hume, Hegel, Bergson and others. Some of the distinguished philosophers contributing to this volume are: Charles Hartshorne, William Ernest Hocking, Richard M. Rorty, Gregory Vlastos, William A. Christian, Sr., Nathaniel Lawrence, Ivor Leclerc, Victor Lowe, Robert M. Palter, and Donald W. Sherburne.

Starring Jaime Winstone, Dead Set is E4's horror series in which the dead are returning to life and attacking the living. Curiously there are a few people left in Britain who aren't worried about any of this - that's because they're the remaining contestants in Big Brother. Cocooned in the safety of the Big Brother house, they're blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding in the outside world. Until an eviction night when all hell breaks loose...Kelly, a production runner working on a fictional series of Big Brother, finds herself trying to fend off the walking dead alongside her producer boss Patrick, boyfriend Riq and the remaining Big Brother housemates. Featuring cameos from Davina McCall and several former housemates, this is a cruel and twisted take on one of TV's biggest game shows.

Four words: Best. Eviction. Episode. Ever. The only thing that could have made it even more delicious? Zombie Chenbot.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Vulgar and noisy, and often disgustingly hilarious, Dead Set is the perfect pop-culture poison for those of us convinced the world of Big Brother and its spawn is an endless night of the living dead, turning participants and fans alike into craven zombies.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
I was surprised at how much adrenalized horror there is to be found in the story, as it races forward into bloody human-zombie battles and scary entrapments. This isn't a wink-winkfest so much as a sly screamfest, with lots of post-apocalyptic misery and carnage afoot.Boston Globe Full Review
On balance it plays like a well-made and increasingly grim horror picture, with a crispness of execution and a graphic level of intestine-pulling, throat-ripping violence that are both beyond the American norm.The New York Times Full Review
Dead Set is less remarkable, because this import from the U.K. is more typical of the genre and gets campy, although it will scare the bejeebers out of you.Wall Street Journal Full Review
For all its gore, Dead Set has a frightening lack of suspense. Then again, except for Kelly (Jaime Winstone), a "Big Brother" producer with a dysfunctional love life, most of the characters are so lacking in humanity that the transition to zombie isn't much of a leap.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review

Ted is a third-generation pediatric oncologist in Boston. He is 37 years old, married to his work, and considers his patients to be "his kids". He and his friends spend summer weekends in Newport, Rhode Island, which is the only break Ted allows himself from the grind of his job. After a devastating loss at work, he leaves for Newport where he meets his friend's new girlfriend, Caroline. Over that first weekend, Ted and Caroline fall in love. When they later act on their feelings, shock and disbelief ricochet through his tight-knit group of friends and family. A highly respected doctor, a beloved son and grandson, a loyal friend, Ted is stunned by his sudden free fall from grace.

Not worth the credit
I don't think anything could have saved this. The male lead was a whining jerk and the female should be used as an example of what not to put up with.
No. I have a lot of Marie Force books that I really enjoyed. I just couldn't get behind any of the circle of friends.
I didn't care for this narrator. Didn't show much emotion but she also didn't have much to work with.
I would totally rewrite the final scene.This was so bad I will be asking for my credit back. Will never want to hear this again.
This was such a disappointment since I enjoyed the books I've listened to by this author before.

Don't Wate your time
This story was boring and went no where.
The Narrator is horrible! the voice changes for the charactures is ridiculous , She tries to make Ted or any other mans voice and he sounds like an old grandma instead of a handsome young guy he is supposed to be. She does the grandma like a southern accent it is like a 1st grade teacher is reading it to her class..

Top Review by Darkhunter
Boy, howdy, did I like these tarts! Being originally from the south, I've always loved pecan pie. The filling on this was great! and adding the raisins was inspired. I put all the ingredients for the shells into my food processor and let it do much of the work! First time my pie crust was worth eating!lol Thnx for sharing your recipe, SummerBud. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

This particular list of the monarchs of England begins with the common ancestor of all monarchs after the POD, Edward III, and continues to the present. For kings before Edward III, see List of English monarchs. This list also serves as a family tree, showing the relation of each monarch to the others.
Many kings of England listed here were simply contenders and pretenders, quickly deposed by their successors, but later kings would restore to the line of kings by their regnal numbers. John of Lancaster and John Clifford were both considered pretenders by the Plantagenet-York dynasty and both claimed to be John III. However, when John Meredith became king, he was known as John V, retroactively legitimizing the two Johns before him.

This invention relates to body scanning apparatus and more particularly, to gamma cameras used to scan patients either in a full body planar scanning mode or in an emission computerized tomographic (ECT or SPECT) scanning mode.
During a planar scan of a patient with a gamma camera, the gamma camera travels over the patient parallel to the cranium-caudal axis. During ECT scans the gamma camera rotates around the region of the patient to be imaged. The rotation is in a plane generally orthogonal to the cranial caudal axis of the patient and results in the imaging of a cross sectional slice of the patient's body. In either type of scan, it is important that the camera head be maintained as closely as possible to the patient because this results in better resolution and consequently image quality is improved.
In the prior art especially for ECT studies, it is known to use various methods and systems for maintaining the camera head as closely as possible to the patient. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,503,331 provides a non-circular ECT scan path. The scanning path is elliptical and accordingly, it more closely follows the body contour than does a circular path.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,593,189 a camera head is provided with an optical proximity detector to uric the head towards the patient while rotating around the patient. When the head gets too close to the patient, proximity detector is triggered and the head is moved away from the patient.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,072,121 features an arrangement for determining the planar contour of an object using a plurality of light emitters and detectors positioned in a circular planar array. The array surrounds the object for determining the planar contour of the object, such as the patient. The light emitters are sequentially energized and resulting signals from the light detectors are used for determining the object's planar contour. The camera is then directed on a path emulating the contour.
Each of the above patented systems is an improvement over the original circular path used by gamma cameras during ECT scans. Thus, the patent covering the elliptical orbit improves over the circular orbit, but is merely an approximation of the exact contour of the patient's body. Therefore, the distance of the camera head to the patient can be significantly decreased. The proximity detector, among other things, makes it difficult to change collimators in the camera head to which it is attached. The contour determining arrangement of U.S. Pat. No. 5,072,121 requires a learning cycle wherein the system learns the contour of the body. This requires additional time and, therefore, reduces throughput.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide systems which speed up the scan procedure by automatically positioning the scanning camera as close as possible to the patient's body, even closer than attainable with a prior art elliptical scan, during the scan regimen without necessitating a learning cycle and without endangering the patient.
In accordance with a preferred aspect of the present invention, a gamma camera system is provided, said system comprising:
a gamma camera gentry,
means for mounting at least one gamma camera on said gentry for use in performing whole body scans or emission computerized tomographic scans of a patient,
said camera having a radiation detecting side,
controls for maintaining the distance between the camera and the patient at a minimum,
said controls comprising:
a first series of energy transmitters for transmitting energy to which the patient is opaque,
said first series of energy transmitters each mounted to said camera at a first distance from the radiation detecting side of said camera toward said patient,
a first series of energy receivers each mounted to said camera oppositely disposed from said first series of said energy transmitters at said first distance away from the radiation detecting side of said camera toward said patient so that energy transmitted from said first series of energy transmitters impinge on said first series of energy receivers after spanning the detecting side of the camera,
an in-out motor for selectively moving said camera away from or toward the patient,
means for operating said motor responsive to the body contour of the patient interrupting the transmitted energy so as to prevent the receipt of the transmitted energy by the first series of receivers to move said camera away from said patient,
a second series of energy transmitters each mounted a second distance away from the radiation detecting side of the camera toward said patient,
a second series of energy receivers each mounted oppositely disposed from said second series of energy transmitters and at said second distance away from-said radiation detecting side of said camera toward said patient so that energy transmitted from said second series of energy transmitters impinge on said second series of energy receivers after spanning the detecting side of the camera,
said second distance being larger than said first distance,
means for inhibiting the operation of said in-out motor responsive to interruption of the energy extending from said second series of energy transmitters to the second series of energy receivers whereby the camera does not move in the in or out directions, and
means for operating said in-out motor to move said camera toward said patient when there is no interruption with the energy extending from the energy transmitters to the energy receivers.
The gamma camera system of the invention includes means for enabling the control of the in-out motor responsive to energy spanning said radiation detecting side of said camera in two parallel planes, whereby when there is no interruption with the energy in either of the two planes the in-out motor moves the camera toward the patient. When the patient's body interrupts the energy in the plane furtherest from the radiation detecting side of the camera, the in-out motor is de-energized. When the patient's body interrupts both energy planes, the in-out motor is energized to move the camera away from the patient.
According to a feature of the invention, the energy planes are provided by direct transmittal and receipt of the energy at the planes parallel to the detecting side of the gamma camera.
According to an alternative feature of the invention, the energy transmitters and/or receivers could be removed from the parallel planes by the use of reflecting surfaces.
Another feature of the system is a fail-safe provision for causing the in-out motor to move the camera away from the patient responsive to actuation of a pressure sensitive detector.
Still another feature of the invention provides for a dual camera system with each of the cameras having an individual motor for moving the camera radially irrespective of the radial motion of the other camera.
The gamma camera arrangement of the invention provides for maintaining said gamma camera at a distance from the patient wherein said energy extending between said second set of transmitters and said second set of receivers is interrupted and wherein the energy extending from said first set of transmitters to said first set of receivers is not interrupted.
Another feature of the invention provides means for preventing energy cross-talk; i.e., energy transmitted from being received by a receiver that is not coupled to the transmitting transmitter.
Yet another feature of the invention provides a leading set of oppositely disposed energy transmitters and receivers mounted to the gamma camera so as to be responsive to longitudinal motion between the patient and the camera when the patient is being positioned within the viewing range of the camera.
The above named and other objects, features and advantages of the present Invention will be more apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention when considered along with the accompanying drawings; wherein.
FIG. 1 is a side view of the inventive gamma camera system for maintaining the camera proximate to the patient during scans;
FIG. 2 is a front view of the inventive system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view of one of the gamma cameras shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the gamma camera shown in FIG. 3 with one of the proximity controllers removed so that details of the other proximity controller are shown;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing of the controls for the inventive gamma camera system; and
FIG. 6a and 6b are schematic showings of:
a) the direct generation of the energy planes, and
b) the generation of the-energy planes using reflective surfaces.
FIG. 1, shows the inventive gamma camera system 11 as a dual gamma camera system which can provide either full body scans or ECT scans. While dual camera heads are shown and the control of a single camera is described herein, it should be understood that the invention also applies to maintaining a single gamma camera or multiple cameras proximate to the patient during scans. The gamma camera system 11 of FIG. 1 comprises a gantry assembly 12 and a patient bed assembly 13. The gantry assembly 12 comprises a base 14, a stator 16 and a rotor 17. The rotor rotates in a circular fashion on the stator 16. Attached to the rotor 17 are two gamma camera heads 18 and 19. With the rotation of the rotor, the heads rotate around the body and provide data for a tomographic image.
Auxiliary to the gantry is a monitor 21 and a remote control unit 22. The remote control unit is used for controlling the movement of the camera heads 18 and 19 which in addition to rotating with the rotor can move up or down as indicated by arrow 23 or can pivot around the pivot point 24 shown in camera 18. A similar Point not shown is associated with camera 19.
The patient bed assembly 13 comprises a patient bed 26 on a base 27. The base is shown as being mounted on casters 28 and 29. During the scanning procedure the base is locked in place and the bed 26 is longitudinally movable as shown by the dashed lines 31 so that during the scan the bed can be moved longitudinally back or forth as shown by arrow 32. When the bed is moved and the rotor remains stationary, then a whole body scan is obtained. When the bed is moved so that the patient's thorax, for example, is beneath the camera, then the SPECT image is acquired in the thorax region of the patient. Alternatively, a helical scan is possible by rotating the rotor while the bed is moving longitudinally relative to the cameras. It should be understood that while longitudinal movement of the bed is described, longitudinal movement of the gantry would provide the same results. It is the relative movement between the bed (i.e., patient) and the gantry that is material.
The remote control unit 22 also controls the movement of the bed 26. The bed 26 can move up or down as indicated by arrow 25, when upper base section 27a moves up or down on lower base section 27b. In addition, the bed can swivel around axis 33 when a swivel lock lever 34 is pressed to release the lock. The swivelling of the bed makes it easier to replace the collimators on the cameras 18 and 19.
In FIG. 2, which is the front view of the system of FIG. 1, it is seen that both of the gamma cameras 18 and 19 have proximity controllers attached thereto. For example, gamma camera 18 has the proximity controllers 36 and 37 spaced apart so as to provide two parallel planes of energy beams separated from and spanning across the face of the collimator. The parallel planes of energy beams are indicated by the dashed lines 38 and 39. The dashed line 39 is closest to the collimator 41 associated with the camera 18. The camera 19 is also shown as having spaced apart proximity controllers 37a and 38a attached to the camera unit and slightly removed from the collimator so that energy beams traversing the space between the proximity controllers are slightly removed from the collimator.
The camera is attached to yoke arms within the box-like covers 42 and 43, respectively. The yoke arms are attached to a ball-screw type axles, not shown, within the rotor. When the in-out motor assigned to either of the cameras is operated, the balls-screw axles are rotated to,individually cause either of the cameras 18 or 19 or both to move closer together or further apart. It is the control of this in-out motion that is a major object of the invention described herein.
The screen of monitor 21 is divided into two sections. The first section 46 displays the image of the patient, the second section 47 indicates the motion of the cameras and the bed. This includes the in-out motion, the pivoting motion and the rotary of the cameras along with the longitudinal motion, the up and down motion and the pivoting motion around axis 33 of the bed. In addition, section 47 may relay instructions or messages for the operator.
The yoke arms of the camera extend into the interior of the rotor. The opening for the yoke arms are protected by dust covers such as the accordian-like dust cover indicated at 44.
A pressure sensitive device (PSD) 41 serves to stop any motion in the event it is actuated. This is a fall-safe protective device. The PSD could be set to actuate the individual motor to move the camera outward.
Under normal body scanning conditions, the camera is positioned so that the outer contour of the patient whose body is being imaged is between beams 38 and 39. This position is attained because the cameras normally are caused to travel inwardly when neither beam 38 or 39 is broken. When any of beams 38 are broken there is no in-out motion since the motor is not energized. When any of the beams 39 are broken, then the motor causes the in-out motion to be outward. Just as when the pressure sensitive plate 41 is actuated, the motor causes the cameras to move radially, outward away from the patient's body.
FIG. 4 shows details of the proximity control unit 37. It should be understood that one proximity control unit 36 may be an energy transmitting unit while the other proximity control unit such as unit 37 may be an energy receiving unit. Alternatively, each unit could comprise energy receivers and/or transmitters. For purposes of the explanation, in FIG. 4, unit 37 is considered an energy transmitting unit. FIG. 4 shows camera 18 mounted to the yoke arm 51 covered by yoke arm cover 43. The camera can be pivoted around pivot point 24 by a motor and controls not shown. The gamma camera 18 includes a plurality of photomultipliers, not shown, attached to a scintillating detecting crystal also not shown. When a photon of gamma energy strikes the detecting crystal, it scintillates. Photomultiplier tubes in the camera detect the scintillation and convert the scintillation into electrical energy. As is customary with all "Anger" type gamma cameras, the camera computes the location of the photon impingement of the crystal and the total energy.
A collimator unit 52 is shown mounted to the detecting or crystal side of the gamma camera. Also attached to the gamma camera is the proximity control unit 37. A flange-like cover 53 covers the proximity control unit, Shown as part of the proximity control unit 37 are multiple rows of energy transmitters such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). These rows are shown as rows 56, 57 and 58. The LEDs transmit energy in the form of infra-red light towards solid state light receivers on the oppositely disposed proximity control unit 36. While LEDs and solid state light receivers are indicated, the invention is sufficiently broad to cover other energy transmitters and receivers or other arrangements of the transmitters and receivers. For example, the transmitters and receivers could be on the same side with a reflector on the opposite side.
The multiple rows of transmitters and receivers are provided in order to accommodate different size collimators. When different size collimators are used, different pairs of the multiple rows are used. Thus, either rows 56 and 57 or rows 57 and 58 are used to provide the two parallel planes of energy beams between which the camera position is maintained during scan operations. More parallel rows could be provided to accommodate even other different size collimators. Also, the proximity units 36, 37 could be physically extended toward the patient when a larger collimator is used.
When a larger collimator is in place and the different rows are used to accommodate the larger size collimators, then rows 57 and 58 are energized. Then if the light emitted by the LEDs of row 58 encounter an object that is opaque to the light beams, such as the patient's body, the in-out motor will be de-energized and stop operating. When the light beams from LEDs in row 58 are not interrupted, then the motor is energized to bring the cameras closer together, that is closer to the patient's body. As soon as any of the beams from the LEDs of row 58 are interrupted, then the in-out motor is de-energized to stop the movement of the cameras. If the patient's body then breaks any of the beams from row 57, the in-out motor is actuated to separate the cameras, that is to move the cameras away from the patient. If the cameras are positioned such that the LEDs of row 57 are once again transmitting uninterruptedly to the receivers of the corresponding row 57 in proximity control unit 36, the motor is again de-energized. If the patient's body stops interfering with the light beams from the LEDs of row 58, then the in-out motor is actuated to bring the cameras closer together. In this manner, the cameras are kept in position so that the contour of the body is between rows 58 and 57.
The same type of operation occurs when the rows 56 and 57 are used; that is when a smaller collimator is in place. When a smaller collimator is used, the pressure sensitive device 41 is moved up higher. Then the energy transmitters of rows 56 and 57 both transmit beams of energy that normally impinge on energy receivers on proximity control unit 36 to control the in-out motor as explained. The transmitters and receivers are shown mounted on printed circuit boards, such as board 59 on which are mounted the rows 56, 57, 58 of energy transmitters.
An alternative mechanical arrangement for accommodating different sized collimators is also shown in FIG. 4. More particularly, slots such as slot 60 and fastener 65 to enable radially moving the proximity control units are illustrated.
The arcuate sections in the cover 53 and in the contour of the printed circuit board 59 are clearances used when the camera pivots around pivot point 24. The printed circuit board 59 holds the LEDs or the solid state light receivers of unit 36.
Also mounted on the printed circuit board 59 are a set of energy transmitters and oppositely disposed receivers that provide "early warning" energy beams. The early warning energy beams are used particularly during whole body scans where the patient is moved linearly and longitudinally relative to the camera. In a preferred embodiment, the patient bed 26 is moved longitudinally until the entire patient has gone past the camera or cameras. Then the scan is commenced by moving the camera toward the patient on the bed and moving the bed longitudinally past the cameras back to the starting point while the cameras detect the gamma radiation.
As the patient is moved back if any of the energy beams generated by any of the early warning energy transmitters 50, 54, or 55 is interrupted, the in-out motor is caused to move the camera or cameras away from the patient. The movement away continues until beams from row of detectors closest to the crystal are no longer interrupted or until a manual override, not shown, is operated to remove power from the in,out motor.
While early warning transmitters (and receivers) are shown only on one side of the camera, it should be understood that within the scope of the invention they could be mounted on the other side of the camera or on both sides of the camera.
The block diagram of FIG. 5 show LEDs of rows 57 and 58, such as LED 58a and LED 57a. These LEDs operate to transmit energy preferably in the form of infra-red light to detectors, such as detectors 60a and 61a in corresponding rows on a proximity control unit 36. The transmission and receipt of the light energy is under the control of the body contour controller 63.
Means are provided to assure that the receivers operate only responsive to light from a transmitter to which the receiver is coupled. This arrangement prevents the operation of the motor responsive to reflected energy being received by a receiver not coupled to the transmitter: herein sometimes referred to as "cross-talk" more particularly, transmitter sequencer 64 causes the sequenced LED of the proper row to transmit while the receiver encoder 66 receives information only from the receiver coupled to the transmitting transmitter of the proximity control unit 37. The information from the body contour controller 63 is transmitted through slip rings indicated by the dashed lines 67 to the motion controlling computer 68. The motion controlling computer causes the motor driver 69 to energize the in-out motor, shown as motor 71, in the proper direction. The connection between the motor driver and the in-out motor 21 may also be through slip rings as indicated by the dashed line 67. The slip rings are used to couple power and commands between the stator and the rotor.
In practice, single pairs of transmitters and receivers are used at any one instant under the control of the sequencer 64 and encoder 66. The pairs are in effect "scanned" at a rate that enables all the pairs about 20 times per second. In a preferred embodiment, there are about 200 pairs. The scan time can be shortened by scanning two spaced apart pairs at the same time.
When the beam from an LED in row 58a to a detector in row 60a is broken, then power to the motor 71 is turned off. Prior to that, the motor is powered to cause the gamma camera to move closer to the patient. Upon breaking any of the beams extending from row 58 in unit 37 to row 60 in unit 36 the in-out motor 71 is de-energized and stops the movement of the gamma camera. Similarly, when any of the beams from the LEDs of row 57 such as LED 57a is broken on its way to the receivers of corresponding row 61, such as receiver 61a; in proximity control unit 36, then the motor 71 associated with the camera is powered to cause the gamma cameras to move in a direction away from the patient. If something is wrong with the operation so that breaking the beam from a LED of row 57 to a receiver of row 61 does not cause the cameras to move apart, then the body will press against pressure sensitive device 41 which will then stop all motion of the gamma cameras. That is, the signal from the body contour controller 63 to the motion control computer 68 can be derived from the receiver encoder 66 or from the pressure sensitive device.
The schematic showing of FIG. 6a is an embodiment wherein the proximity controllers are mounted extending in the direction of radial movement of the camera 18 toward the patient on bed 26. The proximity controller 36 includes, for example, a plurality of rows 57 and 58 of LEDs. The LEDs in a preferred embodiment transmit beams of infra-red light to similarly placed rows of infra-red light sensors 57 and 58. Thus, parallel spaced apart energy beams are produced.
FIG. 6b offers a variation of the embodiment of FIG. 6a. The rows of transmitters 57, 58 are mounted on a plate 76 extending transverse to the direction of radial motion of the camera 18 toward or away from the patient 15 on bed 26. The rows of receivers 57, 58 are also mounted on a plate 77 extending transverse to the radial motion. Reflecting surfaces 78 and 79 direct the energy beams 38 and 39 to span the front face of the camera in planes parallel to the detector face of the camera in the same manner that the energy beams 38 and 39 span the detecting face of the camera in FIG. 6a. It should be understood that within the scope of the invention the configuration of the transmitters and receivers could be combinations of the schematic showings of FIGS. 6a and 6b.
A system is thereby provided wherein the outer contour of the patient's body is maintained a fixed small distance away from the collimator of the gamma camera scanning the body whether the system operates when a whole body scan is being performed or when a computerized tomographic scan is being performed. In general, the system contains two well defined optical screens located Just above the detector of a gamma camera. The electronics associated with the optical screen are sensitive to any opaque disturbance of the energy screens. The energy screens are comprised of beams of energy such as light rays. Using the information from the optical energy screens, a command is sent to the in-out motor 71 in a way that minimizes the patient-detector distance to a few millimeters. The system comprises two electronic proximity control units attached to the detector side of the gamma camera. One of the units has a number of energy emitters and the other attached unit has a number of energy receivers. The emitters and receivers are arranged either oppositely disposed in two operating layers or disposed relative to reflecting surfaces with a small internal distance between them. In either configuration, the proximity controller, for example, yields light rays in parallel layers so that the system can maintain the outer contour of the patient's opaque body between the two parallel layers.
During a typical scan, the in-out motor moves the camera toward the patient when no disturbances are detected by the layered optical screens and it moves the camera away from the patient when inner layer is disturbed. The camera is not moved in an in or out direction when outer layer is disturbed and the inner layer is not disturbed. The in or out motion does not interfere with the scan motion; i.e., with the rotational motion for ECT scans and linear longitudinal motion for whole body scans.
Among other things, the unique proximity controller enables the gamma camera to be as close as possible to the patient during the entire scan. Thus, for ECT scans, for example, the camera is even closer to the patient on the average than the proximity achieved with elliptical scans. In addition, the unique proximity controllers dramatically speed up the throughput of the system since the time consuming preliminary scan loci learning or testing cycles of the prior art are no longer necessary.
Having thus described the invention with particular reference to the preferred forms thereof, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains after understanding the invention that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims appended hereto.

Adams, Gregg
Dr. Adams teaches veterinary anatomy in the veterinary curriculum and participates in team-taught graduate courses on:
He is a team member of the course Biomedical Rounds that was awarded the Provost's Prize for Innovative Practice of Teaching and Learning, University of Saskatchewan (2008). Dr. Adams also consults on Theriogenology cases admitted to the WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre.
Other Appointments
Dr. Adams has broad interests in basic and applied aspects of reproductive science and medicine, and he is recognized internationally for his work on ovarian function.
He has published classic studies of ovarian follicle development, ovulation and fertility in several species including cattle, llamas and alpacas, deer, bison, and humans. Studies on ovarian function in women by Dr. Adams and co-workers at the University of Saskatchewan were cited as one of the top 100 scientific discoveries of the year by Discover Magazine. He has worked with a variety of wild terrestrial and marine mammals and his research team recently celebrated the birth of the world's first bison calves through the use of IVF and embryo freezing.
Technical applications resulting from his work include:
Dr. Adams' current research focuses on 1) ovulation-inducing factor in seminal plasma, 2) the establishment of a germplasm biobank for Canada's threatened Wood Bison, 3) novel aromatase inhibitor-based method of ovarian synchronization in animals, and 4) embryonic diapause in pinnipeds.
His discoveries on "The nerve of ovulation-inducing factor" and "World's first in-vitro bison calves born at University of Saskatchewan" have been publicized widely in the popular press.

I'm chinese and he is chinese too and he came up to me and said "hi". Why did he say hi to me?
- Its because we are both chineseVote A
- Its because I talk a lot in classVote B
- It's because I was dressed very well that day.Vote C
Most Helpful Guy
Depends: did he say it in Chinese or English? If he started speaking Chinese to you in an English speaking class then he was probably being friendly because you spoke Chinese. I do the same thing when I see someone who speaks German, I will say hi in German.
But if he said it in English for no reason, then he might like you.00|00|0

Question: In August 2002 47 of parents who had children in
In August 2002, 47% of parents who had children in grades K–12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. In September 2010, the Gallup organization conducted a poll of 1013 parents who have children in grades K–12 and asked if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1013 surveyed, 437 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 95% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education in the United States has changed since August 2002.

This anti-aging treatment encourages renewal around the eyes by stimulating cells that have slowed down over time. When these cells are roused, the area is firmed and tightened to give a more rejuvenated appearance. The toning of the eye area also aids in diminishing fine lines, crow's feet and eyelid sagging. Additionally, this anti-aging formula restores hydration to improve the health of your skin.
After just one month of use, you'll see an improvement in the visible signs of aging, including wrinkle depth, firmness and hydration. These results are due to ingredients including a cellular life concentrate that encourages skin renewal around the eyes to lessen aging of mature skin. Additional ingredients that help produce these amazing results are vitamins C and E, which work as antioxidants to fight damage caused by environmental aggressors. This anti-aging formula also contains a complex of sugars called Hydrocyte Complex, which restores hydration.

There are two moments I believe center around the eventual "answers" to the show. The basic question to the show originally was "where are they?" Well they answered that this season when we were told the island was always moving and that it an electromagnetic hot spot. So the real "answers" people are waiting for will be how it all turns out like and good thriller.
So I believe the two biggest clues were Faraday crying and the discovery of Adam and Eve.
Faraday's scene is important, because he cries when he sees the flight 815 "discovered." When asked why he is crying he says "I don't know." This to me implys at the overall emotion of the series end. That our beloved show will end as a partial if not total tragedy. I am under the belief that as Faraday's conciousness is jumping around Desmond will save him by being his constant and that is what damages his memory. I believe this revelation will occur by the end of this season.
Adam and Eve on the other hand I believe are important simply, because of who I think they are. I do believe the two skeletons will be Jack and Kate. How and why they got there I obviously don't know, but Jack obviously doesn't have any desire to go back to the real world so him dieing on the island would make sense. Also I am a believer that Kate and Jack will end up together so being left with eachother would also make sense. Also the fact that he took the stones with him off the bodies when he left and the recurring themes of those stones in the series. (Locke's eyes in one episode and his games with Walt.) The creators have also said Adam and Eve will "prove" they've had an ending since they started.

The owners of the site set up nannyjob in late 1999 when we were unable to find information about nannies on the internet - at that time there was next to nothing around! The site is not a Recruitment Agency as defined by the Employment Agencies Act 1973 and therefore not covered by the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulation of 2003..
The site is owned by:
Jobs on the Net Ltd
10 Studland Road
Kingston upon Thames
Month by month we have added additional information onto the site. As well as having links to jobs and CV's we continue to add useful information needed by parents and nannies. Over the years the numbers of visitors has grown steadily to the point where we now get over 190,000 visitors and 1,750,000 page impressions a month. All jobs and CVs are removed 30 days after posting but at any one time we carry over 1,200 jobs and 4,700 CVs.(November 2016)
We are not an agency but we do depend on logo advertising by agencies and posting fees by parents to fund the service. Advertising by agencies and other companies in the childcare sector may seem a little heavy at times, but without that advertising we would not be able to provide the services to nannies and agencies.
We do not offer any opinions on childcare matters as we are not childcare professionals. Any opinions expressed on the message board are those of the individuals concerned and not nannyjob.
We always welcome any feedback or suggestions, you may have - simply send us an e-mail.
Finally, if you do find a job or you employ a nanny through a contact made through this site we would be delighted to hear from you.

text: Smart idea by CCCP. They're building the world's largest website for Natuurmonumenten ('nature monuments'). It is called 'make a meter'. Natuurmonumenten is an organization that privately buys pieces of land in the Netherlands to let nature (more or less) take its own course and prevent it from being built on. A very sympathetic organization. As a 'consumer' you can claim an online square meter (scale 1 on 1) of land on the site, by choosing one out of six different kinds of (typical Dutch) nature and leaving your personal details.
