Im talking to this girl I met online and we are borderline dating. Not official but we act like a couple with each other. We fully intend to meet up in person soon. I was just wondering if anyone had good date ideas for the first official date when I finally meet her.

alright... since you've never met this person before I would meet 1 on 1 first. Like talk at the park, or in a car, or at each others house. I wouldn't say only do that though because sometimes it can look like you only intend to be sexual or like you don't want to be seen in public together. After you get to get a feel for eachother in person go do something fun!! I would suggest an amusement park... if you're both down for it. You can talk while waiting in line, get close on the ride, and of course have fun.
Another suggestion would be a hike. Take a hike somewhere, you'll have fun walking and exploring, then you can take a little stop to hammock and cuddle a little, and then head back out.
I wouldn't suggest dinner or movie. I've had a couple bad/awkward first meets there.
A movie doesn't allow you to talk and get to know the person. I say save a movie for later. & a dinner date can be awkward on who's paying, not wanting bad breath, not wanting to look like a pig, etc etc.
Well sexual things are gonna happen no matter what. Her idea not mine. But those are all great ideas thank you.

I've thought about this a lot.
I Dont expect her to feel exactly the same right away but the fact that she said yes to a dinner date is a good sign she might get there eventually

I've been wanting to do something with my breasts for years. I am like a lot of you, and have never had perky breasts since I got them! I have 2 kids, 16, and 8. Throughout life, I have struggled with my weight....but have been stable between 160-165 for 5 years now and feel comfortable at this weight. I workout doing jazzercise and do light weight lifting at home 4-5 days a week. I have an appointment with a doctor in the raleigh area at the end of November, and want to see what the best way to proceed is. I go back and forth between just a breast lift, and a breast lift with a tummy tuck. I think it will depend on cost and if I can justify it! My husband is very supportive, though he likes my breasts the way they are and just doesn't want me to have small boobs! We aren't rich, so I have to be logical with what we spend on this. I am excited and nervous and OBSESSED with this.....reading all the experiences on here and thinking about it wayyyyy too much! Lol! I am posting pics and hoping to hear from you guys about what you think would be the best path for me. I will post my journey as it happens!
Vertical breast lift, no implants, lollipop incision -Raleigh, NC
Going with Dr. Stoeckel in Cary, nc
I went to a consultation and felt very comfortable with Dr. Stoeckel. He is very knowledgable and approachable. Now I am waiting for my mammogram at the end of Dec. and if all clear, I will schedule my surgery. I hope to get it the first week in February. I am beyond excited, and keep trying to imagine how they will look and the difference it will make in clothes and during excersise! I wish I was turning 40 sooner in the month to get the mammogram over with...but I have to muster a bit more patience!
My surgery is tomorrow!
I am very excited and of course, nervous. I will post my experience when I can.
Surgery complete!
First, I want to say that I am very satisfied with Dr.Stoekle and his staff. They are all just very down to earth and I felt very at ease. I wen in and met my nurse, who went over the procedure and recovery, then I met the anesthesiologist who explained all of what she would go, and how I'd feel afterwards. Then the doctor came and measured and marked the lines. I walked into the O.R. and they had me lie down and covered me with a heated blanket and put leg compressors on, and hooked me up to monitors, and put in the I.V. For the sedation. Then I was out...felt like a great sleep, with dreams even....just regular types of dreams. They woke me up after a half hour, and then my husband too me to chickfila...I ate 4 nuggets, and fries, and a fig bar I had brought. The surgery started at 1:30, do I was a bit hungry, but didn't have much of an appetite, then we went home. I took a pain pill right after "lunch".
felt really groggy and tired for a lot of the afternoon. I have little pain, 2 of 10. I feel itchy all over, from the pain pills I think, so I took a benedry. The doc called and I said I was good and trying to b patient and not look at them, but he said I could....so I did, and have my first picture. I am not even thinking for one bit that they look anything like they'll end up looking, but I am amazed that they aren't saggy anymore...crazy! Thanks for the well wishes, I'll keep updating.

I am not even thinking for one bit that they look anything like they'll end up looking, but I am amazed that they aren't saggy anymore...crazy! Thanks for the well wishes, I'll keep updating.
Day 2
I slept pretty well in our recliner half the night, then propped up in bed for the rest. I feel pretty sore, but not bad considering. I am taking my pills on schedule. I think I am on the right track....still can't believe these boobs are mine...lol!
Day 2 lots of redness
I feel pretty good. I don't need the pain meds as much....going 6-8 hours between. I do feel like my breasts are redder and bruised more than what I expected. I did shower and it felt risky to not have the bra on....like they are so tight, they could burst! I have feeling in one nipple already, the other is numb.
Day 3
I havnt taken my pain meds since last night, I took one Tylenol after I showered, but I don't have much pain at all. My husband had to go into work today....si I had my 8 yr old at home...and she is pretty helpful, but I found I could handle most house stuff myself. I don't feel like leaving the house yet, and tire out easy. But, I am very very happy with how my chest is looking and what a big difference I can see already!
4th day (only 4?!?!)
I am feeling pretty normal at this point, so it feels like I'm just being lazy when I sit around! We had a beautiful day today and I thought maybe I'll go for a walk, then I remembered why I'm just sitting around all day! It's very worth it, but not easy. I feel like the healing is going well, my bruises are now yellow.
6th day
I don't have much news, just doing the healing process. No pain, though I am very protective around kids and dogs...so nothing runs into them! They are continuing to be itchy all around where the bruises are healing. I am really happy I did this though. I can't wait to see them as they settle into place. I think Dr. Stoeckel did such a great job, and I can imagine how they will be without the swelling. It feels so nice to not have half my torso hidden under sagging breasts, and I feel taller, thinner, and lighter already. I am looking forward to my one week appt. to see what the doctor thinks of my progress so far.
1week check up...stitches trimmed
My appt. went great. Dr. Stoeckel took the stitches out of my areola's and changed the tape. There are still internal stitches. It hurt a tiny bit, but nothing to complain about. He said they are healing great, the skin is closed, and they won't change all that much...maybe down a 1/2 cup size and shift slightly so the bottom rounds out and the nipples will be centered. I really am just sooooo happy with my new shape, and the way it makes me feel. I can wear clothes I couldn't before, and I don't feel sloppy due to breasts flopping! I worried before that I would miss "my" breasts, and it would be weird to have "new" breasts....but they feel like mine still....just more agreeable! Hubby is kindof scared of them...rightly so, because they aren't really touchable yet, but we are both looking forward to them healing the rest of the way. I go back in 3 more weeks. I'll post weekly updates now since the healing from here is slower.
Side sleeping and softening
I just wanted to update real quick and mention that I'm noticing my breasts are feeling a lot softer, not so swollen now, and last night I was able to sleep on my side. I put a soft balled up sock between my breasts in my compression bra, which seemed to take that little pit of uncomfortable side gravity away.
Almost 3 weeks
I am looking forward to excersising again....I think the 3 week mark is when it all feels like it's getting pretty old...lol! I had my cycle last week, and boy, my breasts ached! Now they are feeling mostly good...but more nerve type pain. I am getting feeling back in my right nipple...but it is a sore sensation so far. My left nip has had feeling all along. I am really starting to enjoy the way my clothes are fitting! It's so exciting!
Changed tape, saw what they both looked like without it...
It feels very unprotected at this point when I don't have tape on....I didn't have it off long! Just long enough to take a few healing pics for comparison, then right back on with relief! Lol!
Taking off the tape
I went for my one month appt. everything looked good. I had a few stitches sticking out that he trimmed. He said I could start scar treatment, whatever I choose, or keep doing the tape, or nothing. I thought I'd leave the tape, but he noticed a bit of irritation from it...so today I took it off and am going to use some argon oil. I have some very firm tissues on the bottom of each breast, near the suture line that he said is likely scar tissue. It doesn't hurt, but I just thought I'd mention it. Hope everyone is good!
Figured it was time for an update...
I am just really happy that I did this surgery. I can jog better, I feel better in my clothes, I love the way they look. I feel just about completely normal now, except my areola area is a bit sensitive and my right nipple doesn't have full regular sensations yet. I feel some, so I think it will be normal in time.
7 months in...feeling great
The dog ears are all gone, the scars are red, but I think they're fading and look pretty good. I didn't do any treatment on them. They are soft all over at this point. I still wear a sports bra all the time just because I want them to stay perky a long time :)
Highly recommended practice. I cannot say enough good things about this surgeon. Glad I did my research and my expectations were met and exceeded!

Moore issues rallying cry
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore is determined to bolster his defence after watching Rovers slip to a 5-0 loss to rampant Peterborough.
Last Updated: 24/08/13 8:30pm
Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore is determined to bolster his defence after watching Rovers slip to a 5-0 loss to rampant Peterborough.
Posh captain Tommy Rowe scored for the third time in four games to put the visitors ahead on 14 minutes before Tyrone Barnett doubled the advantage at Prenton Park.
Tranmere then saw Andrai Jones sent off for bringing down Barnett in the box, with Grant McCann dispatching the penalty, and Britt Assombalonga and Mark Little both scored in the second half.
Rovers have now conceded 13 goals in four League One games and are in the relegation zone and while Moore believed Jones' sending off was harsh he was offering no excuses for the result.
He said: "At the start of the game there was nothing in it and then a stupid mistake has cost us.
"We defended just like we have for most of the season and that is one of the reasons I need to bring someone in.
"We need to strengthen defensively but when you go down to 10 men against a team like Peterborough then you will always be up against it.
"Defensively we were awful, shambolic at times. It becomes embarrassing.
"There was a lot going on in the dressing room after the game but we need that on the pitch.
"I didn't really think the sending off was deserved but we haven't created anything.
"We knew it was going to be hard but we need to man up and do it quickly.
"Players need to take responsibility on the pitch. I can't take responsibility for them. It hurts because we have a lot of pride."

The invention relates to systems for vehicular traffic control and more particularly to systems for remotely controlling of motor vehicles by means of a directed signal beam.
It is well known that emergency vehicles such as rescue, police and fire vehicles ambulances and increasingly also airborne emergency vehicles, such as police and ambulance helicopters often encounter situations wherein it would be desirable for the driver or pilot of the emergency vehicle to be able to control the movements of other vehicles on the road, for example in order to gain passage through heavily travelled intersections and roadways, or for stopping other vehicles that may interfere with the movement of emergency or other authorized vehicles, or for stopping fleeing vehicles.
Stopping devices for vehicles are known that can be installed in a motor vehicle, that are responsive to an external signal and can be coupled to the vehicle's control elements for stopping the vehicle, for example before a railroad crossing. Such a device is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 1,846,032, and consists of a radio receiver coupled to the vehicle's clutch, brake and ignition system.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,209,769 shows a system installed in an automobile which is responsive to an encoded time signal or the like from a rescue vehicle for actively responding to warning signals addressed to the driver of the automobile.
It has been found, however, that the problems encountered by emergency vehicles in gaining passage unencumbered by other traffic remains unresolved. The instant application addresses this problem by means described in more detail in the instant disclosure of the invention. Further, there remains the problem of stopping a fleeing vehicle being pursued by law enforcement vehicles. Such pursuit often causes severe accidents to uninvolved vehicles that happen to be in the path of the pursuit.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide authorized and emergency vehicles with means for remotely controlling general vehicular traffic surrounding or being in the vicinity of the authorized and the emergency vehicle, by means of a projected signal beam that can be aimed in the direction of a selected single or a group of vehicles that for safety reasons are to be stopped, slowed down or prevented from being started by the signal.
The system according to the invention thereby seeks the primary object of preventing life-threatening situations caused for example by an emergency vehicle traveling at high speed or a law-enforcement vehicle pursuing a fleeing vehicle.
In its most basic embodiment the instant invention provides that every vehicle on the road as a condition for using the road is equipped with a signal receiver of small compact construction disposed at a suitable location on the vehicle, being connected to one or a combination of the vehicle's control elements, such as ignition, brake, fuel supply or transmission, in order to stop the vehicle when a projected signal suitable to activate the signal receiver is projected toward the vehicle from an emergency vehicle, or any other authorized vehicle.
It is therefore a primary object of the invention to overcome the problems encountered by authorized vehicles in controlling general vehicles described hereinabove.
It is accordingly a feature of the invention to provide a motor vehicle remote control system that enables the driver of an authorized vehicle to control the movements of general vehicles in the vicinity of the authorized vehicle by means that include a signal beam transmitter installed on an authorized vehicle and directing-means in the authorized vehicle in engagement with the signal transmitter for directing the signal beam in any direction from the emergency vehicle, and a signal receiver installed in the general vehicle which is responsive to the signal beam when addressed thereby, vehicle control elements in the general vehicle that are capable of stopping or disabling the general vehicle; and linkage means that are responsive to the signal receiver and are in engagement with the control elements for initiating the disablement of the general vehicle.
In accordance with another feature the means for directing the beam include a control panel in the authorized vehicle which includes dials for directing the beam, a servo motor engaging the transmitter for turning it in any direction in response to the setting of the dials, and a signal generator for generating the directed signal beam energy.
In accordance with a further feature, a signal modulator is provided which in engagement with the signal generator is capable of modulating the signal beam with message information modulated onto the radiated beam.
In accordance with an added feature, the control panel includes a keyboard for entering encoded messages, wherein the control panel is coupled to the signal modulator for modulating such a message onto the beam. The message may be of any desired form and may include a command such as "stop engine", "disconnect fuel supply" or "stop engine after 10 seconds" or the like.
In accordance with an additional feature, the signal receiver in the general vehicle includes a signal detector that produces an output when the signal beam is directed toward the general vehicle, and at least one vehicle control element that is responsive to the outputs of the signal detector for engaging the vehicle to disable it from moving.
In accordance with again another feature, the engine control element may be anyone of or a combination of the engine ignition, the engine fuel supply, the vehicle drive train, and the vehicle transmission or others.
In accordance with again a further feature, a message and address decoder having an input and an output is connected with its input to the signal receiver and with its output to the vehicle control element for decoding the encoded message and executing it.
The encoding and decoding of a message has the further advantage that random ambient noise is prevented from interfering with the receivers and causing random unwanted stopping of vehicles.
In accordance with again an added feature, the vehicle control element is an electrically operated fuel valve inserted in the engine fuel line and being responsive to the signal detector output or the message decoder and address decoder for disconnecting the engine fuel.
In accordance with again an additional feature, the vehicle control element is an electric relay inserted in the electric supply lead for the ignition, having its ignition coil connected to the signal detector output for disconnecting the engine ignition.
In accordance with yet another feature, a delay circuit is interposed between the message decoder and the vehicle control element for providing a selected time delay from receipt of the signal until it execution.
In accordance with yet a further feature, an annunciator is connected to the message decoder for producing an audible or visual signal indication for alerting the driver of the general vehicle to stop or be prepared to stop, or that his vehicle has received an already executed stop command.
In accordance with yet an added feature, the signal beam is a microwave beam, an untrasound beam, a light beam or a laser light beam.
In accordance with a concomitant feature, the receiver is installed in a traffic light for turning the light, for example red, in all directions for a given length of time.
Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
Although the invention is illustrated and described herein as embodied in a motor vehicle remote control system, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
The construction and method of operation of the invention, however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the following description of the invention including the drawing, same reference numerals indicate the same elements.
FIGS. 1-7 depict the invention broadly, and the following figures show a number of features and details of the invention.
FIG. 1 shows an authorized vehicle 10 which is typically a police or law-enforcement vehicle, a fire-fighting vehicle or any other vehicle that is driven by personnel authorized to direct the movements of other vehicles, represented by the term "general vehicle" 11 which includes all other vehicles. A signal beam 13 is transmitted from a signal transmitter 14, mounted for example on the roof of the authorized vehicle. The signal transmitter 14 is constructed such that the beam can be directed or rotated in any direction by personnel in the vehicle. The general vehicle 11 is provided with a signal receiver 16, that may typically be installed also on the roof of the vehicle, but can, depending a the type of signal energy used, be installed at any location of the vehicle whereat it can receive the beam 13 from any direction. In other words the receiver 16 is omni directional and the signal transmitter or transmitters if more than one transmitter is provided is selectively directable in any direction, not only in the horizontal plane but also in any vertical plane, so that the beam can be directed, for example toward a traffic light 12, also provided with a signal receiver 16 or other traffic control devices as may be found to be advantageous in furthering the objectives of the invention.
The signal receiver 16, when mounted on a general vehicle 11 may be arranged to immediately stop the vehicle by engaging vehicle control means in the vehicle, connected to the signal receiver, or it may be arranged to stop the vehicle after the elapse of a preset delay built into delay elements in the signal receiver or parts connected thereto. Alternatively, instead of stopping the general vehicle completely, the signal receiver may be arranged to slow-down the movements of the vehicle, i.e., decelerate it and subsequently stop the vehicle after a given preset delay.
The signal receiver 16 built into or connected with the traffic signal 12 may be arranged to alter the signal lights for example to show red light in all directions in order to stop traffic controlled by the traffic signal.
The signal beam(s) 13 may consist of electromagnetic energy, such as light waves, for example laser light due to its highly coherent light and parallel directed light beam, or of radio waves, for example micro waves which are also directable in narrow beams. The signal beam energy may alternatively be acoustic, such as ultrasonic energy that may be directed in narrow beams of sound energy by means of suitable reflectors. It is contemplated that laser light will be one of the preferred forms of beam energy to be used in the invention.
According to a further feature, it is contemplated that the signal beam be modulated by a modulator at a certain suitable frequency which may be steady or encoded to convey one or several encoded messages therein. In that case, a demodulator and a decoder will be included in the receive apparatus.
FIG. 2 shows the signal transmit apparatus in more detail. The signal beam transmitter 14, which is advantageously a laser of any suitable type, is mechanically rotatably controlled by a beam directing unit 9, which includes a vertical rotatable shaft 17, attached to a horizontally oriented gearwheel 19, turnable by a worm gear 19, connected to a servo motor 21, and to the arm 8 of a potentiometer 20. The servomotor 21 controls the direction of the signal beam by turning the worm gear 22, thereby turning the gearwheel 19 with the transmitter 14 to any direction selected by instructions entered by the operating personnel at a control panel 28. The control shaft 17 in engagement with the arm 8 of the potentiometer 20, has its body resistor connected between ground and plus voltage. A voltage which is a function of the direction of the beam is impressed on the potentiometer arm 8, which is connected to a direction indicator 29 (FIG. 5) on the control panel 28.
The beam energy is controlled by a beam energy control unit 10, which includes a beam energy generator 22, generating the exitation energy for the beam transmitter 14, which, in case a laser is used, is a high frequency ac-energy driving the laser. In case the beam energy is micro waves, the energy generator 22 may be a magnetron or clystron or any other suitable microwave energy source. The beam energy, if beam modulation is used, is connected to a signal modulator 23, which impresses suitable modulation on the beam energy. The beam energy is in turn connected to the signal beam transmitter 14 via an energy connection 10a.
In case beam energy modulation is provided in connection with message encoding, a message encoder 25 is connected to the signal modulator 23. The message encoder 25 receives a message or command keyed into the control panel 28 (FIG. 5) by the operating personnel, at the keyboard 32, which is in turn connected to the message encoder 25, which operates to convert the message into serial data form, suitable for driving the modulator 23.
Encoding and modulating an energy beam with a data message is a well known art that has long been known and used. The modulation of the energy may take anyone of several well known forms, such as amplitude modulation, or frequency modulation or pulse modulation, of which there are again several forms, including pulse-code modulation (PCM) or others, which need not be described here in detail, since the invention is not directed to modulation and message encoding per se.
The control panel 28 is scanned continuously by a control panel scanning circuit 26, which in turn engages the message encoder 25. A control processor 24 engages the modulator 23, message encoder 29, and the control panel scanning unit 26, for providing the proper timing, coordination and cooperation of these circuits.
FIG. 3 shows the function blocks of the signal receiving apparatus as installed in a general vehicle or in a traffic signal, for example. When the signal beam 13 is directed at the signal energy receiver 16, an electrical signal is produced by a signal sensor being part of the receiver 16. The sensor may include a photo detector if a light energy beam is used, or a microwave or short wave energy is used. The electrical signal is connected to the signal receive unit 30 via a conductor 16a and is first processed in a signal detector 31. The electrical signal on conductor 16a, includes typically both ambient noise and signal combined, and must be processed in various ways to produce a true signal. This function is performed in the signal detector 31, which typically includes a noise filter to exclude ambient noise above and below certain frequencies. If the beam is modulated, a filter is provided to extract the modulation frequency or frequencies, that are advantageously placed within the voice band range 300-3500 Hz, or within a small part thereof for even better noise rejection. The modulation signal is converted to dc-signal pulses from which noice and extraneous signal components have been removed or suppressed, appearing on the lead 31a, connected to a message decoder 32. The message, when encoded, is typically encoded as a binary signal consisting of one's and zero's, which are in turn encoded into certain bit patterns, each representing a certain message, in conventional encoding forms. Certain types of codes are well known and include for example the ASCII code. Depending upon the encoded message one or several outputs of the signal receive unit 30 may be activated by the decoder 32. A typical message may be "Disable Engine", in which case the engine of the general vehicle will be stopped immediately. Another message may be "Disable engine after a delay", in which case the delay circuit 33 is engaged, and inserts a certain delay before the engine is stopped. The length of the delay can be fixed, e.g. 6 seconds, so that the targeted general vehicle may have time to pull out of the traffic, or the length of the delay can be incorporated into the message. The decoded message is in turn connected to a vehicle control element 36, which is the actual physical element that executes the operation of the message, or a command included therein. Another command would be "disable transmission" which would disconnect the vehicle's drive shaft or linkage, but not stop the engine, so that the targeted vehicle can resume operation, if the disable command is removed. A decoded message may also include a voice or light message addressed to the vehicle driver via an annunciator 34. The operation of the vehicle control element 36 is described in more detail in the following.
FIG. 4 shows diagrammatically a vehicle engine 37 having various control elements 36a-36c, all acting on the engine, wherein 36a is an ignition control contact or relay connected to an "Ignition Control" output from the vehicle control element 36; a transmission disable unit 36b connected to the "Transmission Disable" output; or a fuel control 36c connected to a "Disconnect Fuel Flow" output.
Another output may be "Set Brakes" which may act upon the brakes in a suitable manner to make the vehicle immovable.
It follows that anyone of the above mentioned commands may be executed individually or in any suitable combination.
FIG. 5 is the control panel 28 in the authorized vehicle, which includes the direction indicator 29, indicating the beam direction, e.g. in relation to the front end of the vehicle; the direction dial 31 which activates the servomotor 21 (FIG. 2) to rotate in either direction, the keyboard 32 which includes pushbuttons for entering messages and commands to be encoded onto the signal beam 13, a monitor light 33, and an on/off switch 36. A test multiposition switch 34 serves to perform certain test functions on the transmitting apparatus, that are monitored by the monitor light 33.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the control processor 24 of the beam energy control unit 10 (FIG. 2), which includes a central processing unit (CPU) providing overall control, a memory 38 for storing data and control programs, a control bus 42 and an address bus 43 connecting the CPU with a control panel scanner interface 39 and with a signal modulator interface 41 respectively; and with the message encoder 29 and the control panel scanning circuit.
A clock generator 47 provides, in conventional manner, the clock and timing signals for operation of the control processor 24; two address decoding gates 44 and 46 serve to decode the address of the circuits: control panel scanner interface 39 and signal modulator interface 41, respectively.
It follows that the control unit 24 need not be a stored program controller, but may be constructed in other ways, e.g. as a hard-wired controller or the like.
FIG. 7 shows details of the beam directing unit 25, especially addressing the rotary control of the signal beam transmitter 14 from the control panel 28. As, contemplated, the servomotor 21 is a dc-driven permanent field motor, driven at input terminals + and - in either direction of rotation depending upon the polarity of the dc-drive power. The rotary position of the beam transmitter 14 is impressed by a dc-potential tapped off the potentiometer body 20 and has a magnitude between + and ground potential, according to the rotary position of the arm 8. The direction dial 31 is connected to the arm 56 of a second potentiometer 48, having a body resistor, also connected between + and ground potential. Two-parallel-connected polarity sensitive relays 49 and 51, each in series connection with oppositely facing diodes 52, 53, are connected between the potentiometer arms 8 and 56. In operation, the position of the potentiometer arms are indicated by an angle alpha in relation to a fixed line, as shown in FIG. 7. If the potentiometer arm 56 is set to a position 56' having a smaller angle alpha than the arm 8, the potential on the arm in position 56' will be smaller than on the arm 8, and therefore current will flow in the direction indicated by the arrow 57, through relay 49 and diode 52, but not through relay 51, which has its diode 53 facing against the direction of the current. As a result the contacts of relay 49 will operate and + and - potential is connected to the respective motor terminals + and -, which will turn the worm gear 22 in such a direction of rotation that it will reduce the angle alpha of arm 8, until the potential between the two arms 56 and 8 is identical causing relay 49 to drop and stop the rotation. When the two arm potentials are the same, the arms will be pointing in the same direction; conversely, if the direction dial 31 is turned to increase the angle alpha, the current will flow in the opposite direction, and the other relay 51 will operate, and energize the motor 21 with the opposite polarity, causing it to turn in the opposite direction, causing the arm 54 to move to a greater angle alpha, until the two arms are again pointing in the same direction. The direction indicator 29, which is typically a voltmeter graded in degrees angle is connected between ground, which is equal to - potential, and the arm 54. It therefore serves to indicate the direction of the transmitter 14.
FIG. 8 is a top-down view of the authorized vehicle 10 being capable of directing the beam 13' selectively to one of a group general vehicles 11, and to a traffic signal 101 by altering the angle v in the horizontal plane and the angle u in the vertical plane, as seen in the elevational view of FIG. 9.
FIG. 10 and 11 shows an embodiment of the invention capable of showing an image of the general vehicle 11 by utilizing a video camers 109 rigidly mounted atop the radiator 112, which in this embodiment is a subassembly including the laser 102 and/or a microwave generator 103, transmitting a beam 13 consisting of laser light or microwave energy directed at the general vehicle or target 11 which returns a reflected light 111 of the vehicle or target 11. The video camera 109 is connected to a video monitor 124 mounted on the control panel 28 via wiring 118, and shows an image of the target to which the beam 13 is directed. The video screen may have a cross-hair 128 to aid the operator of the authorized vehicle in aiming the beam 13 at a particular target or vehicle, using the servomotor 113 connected to the gear assembly 116 and 114, as described in more detail hereinabove. The pushbutton or pushbuttons 119 serve(s) to activate the laser and or microwave beam 13 when the cross-hairs 128 is pointed directly at the target. Upon activation, the beam 13 hits the receiver 106 in the target or general vehicle 11, which includes at least one of the activators 36a-36b which operate to activate various associated engine elements to disable the engine, or the vehicle.
The control panel 28 may further include a loudspeaker 123 connected to a police band radio transceiver 129, and a tape recorder 122 for recording sound and voice from the transceiver 129. A direction dial 126 serves to control the vertical elevation angle u of the radiator assembly 112 by means of the motor and gear assembly 113, 116 and 114. The loudspeaker 123 may also be used to listen to the sound from the vehicle being pursued by means of a microphone 131 attached externally to the authorized vehicle 10, connected through a suitable amplifier 135 to the loudspeaker 123. A beeper 131 is connected to the radio transceiver 129 to produce a beep when the target has been hit by the laser beam. A safety key switch 127 serves to turn the power to the laser apparatus from the power supply 132 on or off by means of a key. The video camera 109 may advantageously be of the type that is sensitive to infrared light so that the target can be seen also in the dark.
A distance indicator 121 in the form of a cathode ray tube connected with a distance measuring control circuit 133 of conventional construction serves to measure and show the distance to a target being pursued, by means of the laser and video camera receive assembly 112, 109.
FIG. 12 shows details of a general vehicle or target 10 having reflective surfaces or coatings 134 attached to various body parts, e.g. the pumper 136, the rear lights 138 and/or the license plate 137 and other body parts. The reflective surfaces serve to reflect infrared light to make the vehicle more visible to the video camera 109. The infrared - reflective surfaces 134 may be combined with the laser light sensors 106 connected to the actuators 36a-36c (FIG. 4).
FIG. 13 shows the sensors 106 connected by various connecting means 139a-c to the signal detector 30. The connecting means 139 are configured in FIG. 13a as balanced electric wires 139a having two wires, in FIG. 13b as a fiber-optic wire 139b and in FIG. 139c as a single wire having ground return, via the vehicle metal frame, indicated by a ground symbol. The connection 140 between the sensors 106 and the receive unit 30 may alternatively be a wireless connection, e.g. infrared, microwave or the like.
FIGS. 14-24 shows various embodiments of the actuators 36, as they are connected with and operate on various vehicle control elements to stop or slow down the vehicle.
FIG. 14 shows the actuator 36a including a solenoid 141 connected via the receive unit 30 to the signal energy sensor 106 or the energy receiver 16, which upon actuation operates a plunger 142 engaging a disconnect element 143 inserted in the cable or linkage 144 between the accelerator pedal 146 and the control arm 147 of the carburetor or fuel injector 148. The disconnect element 143 is seen in more detail in FIG. 15, which shows a capsule 146 containing gas under pressure or a small explosive charge. When the plunger 142 hits the capsule 146 with a sharp edge 147 which causes the capsule 146 to disintegrate or shatter, it separates the cable 144 into two disconnected parts 144a and 144b, thereby preventing the vehicle from moving at any but a very slow idling speed.
FIG. 16 shows an actuator 36b, having a solenoid 141 with plunger 142 having a blunt end 148 engaging a flexible membrane 151, covering an aperture 152 in the wall of the fuel line 149. Upon actuation, the plunger 142 deforms the membrane 151 to block fuel flow to the engine.
FIG. 17 shows an actuator 36c having a toggle link 152 pivotally connected to a connecting link 153, which is in turn pivotally connected to a push link 156; and a solenoid 141 having a plunger 154 in engagement with the toggle link 152. Upon operation, the plunger 154 extends and moves the toggle link 152 to position 152', shown in dashed lines, so that the distal ends 152a and 156a of the toggle link 152 and the push link 156 respectively are pulled closer together. The ends 152a and 156a are connected in the linkage controlling the timing of the engine ignition or the fuel flow so that the timing gets very late, thereby preventing the engine from producing enough power for a quick getaway or stopping the engine completely.
FIG. 18 is an actuator 36d having a needle valve plunger 157 having a conical tip end 157a normally spaced apart from a valve seat 158, positioned inside the fuel line 149 between the fuel pump and the carburetor or the fuel injector. A solenoid 141 surrounds the needle valve plunger 157, so that upon activation, the plunger 157 is drawn with its conical tip 157a into engagement with seat 158, thereby shutting off the fuel flow to the engine.
FIG. 19 shows an engine disabling system wherein the receive unit 30 is connected to a relay 159 having a break contact 161 inserted in the connection between the ignition coil 162 and the sparkplugs 163. Upon activation, the break contact 161 opens the connection and stops the engine.
FIG. 20 is an arrangement for placing the activator 36 bolted to the wall 164 of the target vehicle engine block, housed in a housing 166 also bolted to the wall of the engine block, allowing cooling water from the engine to fill the housing from holes 167 in the wall. This arrangement serves to prevent a person having a general vehicle from accessing the actuator for the purpose of deactivating it in an unauthorized manner to defeat the purpose of the invention. The bolts 168 holding the housing 166 and the actuator 36 attached to the engine block are advantageously placed with their heads on the inside of the engine block wall 166, to make it still more difficult to reach the activator 36.
FIG. 21 is an arrangement similar to that seen in FIG. 20, with the difference that the housing 166 with the activator 36 is placed inside the engine block, or it may be attached to the outside, secured by a keylock 165, making it still more unaccessable.
FIG. 22 is a schematic wiring diagram showing the operation of a traffic light 12 which, by means of the radiated beam 13 may be directed to the receiver 16,106 by the transmitter 14. The receive unit 30 upon receiving the signal from the receiver 16 or 106 activates a relay 171 through a timer 177 having at least one switch assembly 172 connecting the lights of the signal (Red, Amber and Green) through normally closed break contacts to a normal traffic controller 176, that cycles the light through their normal cycles. Upon actuation, the relay 171 operates and transfers the red light through a make contact to a steady power source while the amber and green lights go off, and stay in that condition for a set period of time, determined by the timer 177, after which the relay is again restored to normal.
Other lights, such as "walk" and "no walk" can be operated through relay switches 173. Upon operation of the relay 171, the "walk" light goes off, and the "no walk" light goes steady on.

BBC News School Report 2014
BBC News School Report 2014 Live News Day - Thursday 27th March
Today has been very stressful in IT1. The day started with all the members from Media Club coming down to IT1 at 8:40 and reading through all of the day's newspapers to find stories worth reporting on. Once everyone had found a story that they wanted to write about, everybody started researching and writing up a story about their chosen subject. Some of the stories chosen consisted of: women's rights and a pen that stops you making mistakes. After a frantic day of researching, recording and editing, here is our report; we hope that you enjoy it.

understand human suffering and are motivated to work together and share their

Working together, helping each other, inspiring one another and taking turns as

Building the Fit Organization
Six Core Principles for Making Your Company Stronger, Faster, and More Competitive
Daniel Markovitz
Member Price: $10.00List Price: $10.00
- Improvement
- Lean
- Excellence
- Operations
It's the same with process improvement, and, specifically, lean processes. Everything there is to know about Lean has been revealed. Countless books, articles, and seminars provide business leaders all the information they need to understand how lean works and how effective it can be when fully implemented. Again, not a secret. Why, then, do companies invariably fail in their pursuit of operational excellence?
The same reason people fail to trim fat through exercise. They don't do it. They try to squeeze it into their schedule; they don't make it part of their schedule. And, inevitably, it becomes less of a priority. In the same vein, too many business leaders see process improvement as a project, something separate from the more "pressing" goals of profits and growth.
That's where they go wrong. And that's where Building the Fit Organization comes in.
In this practical, hands-on guide Markovitz walks you step by step through the process of making lean as intrinsic to your company as the pursuit of profits. You will learn how to make an unshakeable commitment to increasing the value provided by doing the right work in the right way with continuous monitoring of processes and structured coaching for everyone.
You don't need another book about lean. What you need to learn is how to make process improvement your company's purpose.
Like a serious athlete, you're warmed up. You know what lean is and how it can help your organization. Now it's time to perform. Building the Fit Organization is the next step to creating a company that can compete on the toughest of playing fields.

Most of us have heard of the term "Botox", it is often used incorrectly to describe a line and wrinkle smoothing procedure – here at Transform Cosmetic Surgery, we conducted a survey of 1460 people, both male and female, 18 years of age and above. The aim of the survey was to find out what they knew about Botox and what their feelings towards the procedure were.
There is a lot more to Botox than the simple procedure embraced by celebrities – but why do 15% of people who have had line and wrinkle smoothing treatments want to keep quiet? Before we try to understand why, it is important to know exactly what Botox is.
Botulinum type A
Botox is a brand, not the procedure, and is one of many line and wrinkle smoothing treatments. Botox or "OnabotulinumtoxinA" comes from the toxin Botulinum type A and is used in a number of medical procedures and for line and wrinkle smoothing treatment. Botulinum toxin is produced by the bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum; a bacterium which is commonly found in soil, but it can also be found in improperly preserved homemade foods, severely dented aluminium cans, and honey. Clostridium Botulinum produces 8 different types of toxins named type A-H.
As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, the use of Botulinum type A for the purpose of line and wrinkle smoothing comes with possible side effects:
- You are as likely to have an allergic reaction to hair dye as you are to Botulinum toxin.
- Many possible side effects are temporary and will last as long as the toxin remains in your system, around 2-3 months.
- Injecting too high a dose or the incorrect injection of Botulinum toxin can cause Botulism, a rare very disease.
- The possible risks can be reduced by researching correctly and visiting a certified injector, cosmetic surgeon or health care practitioner.
Botox is injected into specific muscles and works by paralysing the muscle, forcing it to relax. For this reason, it works very well to treat lines and wrinkles of the face
Botox – the facts
What do we know about the toxin used in line and wrinkle smoothing procedures?
- The toxin was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in 1989.
- One gram of Botulinum toxin type A is all that is required to make the global supply of Botox for a year.
- Botulinum toxin type A has been used for medical purposes since the 1950s and in much higher quantities than in cosmetic procedures.
- From 1989 to 2003, the FDA reported 28 deaths related the Botulinum type A, none of which were a result of cosmetic use.
- The FDA have recently approved treatment of "crow's feet" - the second area of the face to be approved for treatment using Botulinum toxin, alongside the lines between the eyebrows (the "11's")
- Botulinum toxin type A is a temporary but very successful medicine for suffers of muscle spasms, eye twitches, excessive sweating, migraines and other afflictions.
Botox, in recent years, has enjoyed a high media profile with the help of many celebrities. We asked Ann-Marie of unfadingbeauty.co.uk what she thought about line and wrinkle smoothing treatments "The media loves nothing more than to point out when celebrities get it wrong and look, freakish."
We've all seen pictures of usually glamorous celebrities when they are looking less than perfect following a procedure, but it is not the actual treatment itself that attracts the media's attention (as 46% of survey participants thought Jennifer Aniston gave Botox a good name) it's when celebs take treatments a step too far, resulting in the frozen look that is all too often associated with the procedure.
Embarrassing and vain
Veronica of Gypsynester.com was happy to explain why she initially refrained from telling anyone about her line and wrinkle smoothing procedure:
"I certainly wasn't planning to write about my experience – I didn't want people to think I was vain that I felt the need to go to extreme measures to stay youthful looking."
And Anastasia of women-inside.com was happy to give her opinion on line and wrinkle smoothing treatments: "I am happy with the way I look and I have accepted my imperfections..." However, she also said that she is happy to wear foundation and would dye her grey hairs in the future – as she does not believe dyeing grey hair is on par with having a procedure to reduce lines and wrinkles, even though they are both procedures carried out my men and women to reduce the signs of ageing.
Research, research, research
Research is hugely important before booking any cosmetic procedure, surgical or non-surgical. As results from our study shows, the majority of people questioned knew very little about line and wrinkle smoothing treatments and almost half of those questioned had received the treatment by the time the survey was carried out. Celebrities have made line and wrinkle treatments such as Botox high profile but what you must remember is for anyone who wants the best results, they should always go to a qualified and skilled practitioner. Make sure you ask questions and address any concerns you may have with your injector to ensure you are well-informed before receiving treatment. Ensure you see the sealed container before you are treated and clarify what brand of Botulinum toxin you are receiving.
The media
Botox is not a cry for younger-looking features or a sign of vanity; it is another method, like applying makeup and dyeing your hair, to enhance your appearance. Used correctly and administered by a skilled and qualified practitioner, it is a very effective treatment at reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles resulting in a more youthful appearance.
It is important to make the right decision for you, consult a qualified professional and ask plenty of questions take advice and recommendations from others and do your research. For more information on line and wrinkle smoothing, click here.

Recently, Egypt announced companies that were awarded blocks following the country's 2013 bidding round which received great participation from international oil companies. The blocks awarded included two in the east Mediterranean frontier basin and two offshore the Nile Delta.
Although wells have yet to be drilled in these blocks, seismic and regional data indicate that the plays are similar to others where hydrocarbons have been discovered in the past. Considering the country is one of the oldest oil producers in the world, the results of the first tests are very much anticipated.
Key operators and well-established international companies will gather for the Egypt Oil & Gas 2015 Summit organised by IRN to discuss Egypt's upstream, midstream and downstream industry.
Senior representatives from GASCO, BP, RWE, Dana Gas, Apache, Vegas, Edison, Amal Petroleum, El Hamra Oil, South Abu Zenima Petroleum, Sinai Gas, and Tanmia Petroleum will be sharing their experience through insightful presentations.

More than a hundred animals invaded the office of Bayer in Brussels to protest its intensive lobbying for TTIP and denounce their corporate power consolidation in acquiring Monsanto for $66 billion.
EZLN is a group of activists who are keen to reveal corporate dirty secrets by bringing nature back into those dirty offices.
"We'll point out every guilty lobby in this city so that everybody knows where and when they act" - says Sous-Colonel Orang Outan.
Something more to say ? YES : STOP TTIP !

How can I Populate Pre-Selected Matrix Choices?Asked by danhusum on July 31, 2015 at 02:05 PM
My goal is to use the matrix as an inventory checklist. Is it possible to auto populate the choices so they are pre-checked upon opening the form? This would allow the crew to save time by having the super long inventory checked as "accounted for".
Yes, it's possible to automatically populate your form matrix field.
I'd recommend using our Populate.IO Tool to make this easier on you.
Example Matrix Form (before):
Example Matrix Form (after):
Example Populated URL for Quick Access:
However, since you're looking to create a Inventory Checklist I would additionally also like to point out that we do have Checklist & Inventory Widgets for this which you may find useful if you haven't seen them yet.
Also, there is our actual AutoFill Feature that works with your browser cache for saving and continuing.

Green Building
The Straw House I Built
Or rather, helped build. Partially.
Last week I attended a straw bale house building workshop in West Virginia. The workshop was hosted by Andrew Morrison of StrawBale.com, who runs similar workshops all over the world where one can go and assist with the building of a bale house and learn all about it to go home and build one's own.
