Partial List of Hobbies that Make Money
Here are a few of those hobbies that help you earn money from your leisure activities:
- Painting: Painting as a hobby doesn't always mean that you need to be an exceptional artiste. In fact, there are a lot of people who have learned and taken up painting as a retirement activity as well. There are easier genres of painting that you can get into and sometimes even sell on the street, in the nearby arts-crafts shop or even online on eBay to make some money. The investment on the this hobby to get started may be very less compared to many other expensive hobbies
- Digital Photography: Digital photography as a hobby really took off in the past decade or so, since the digital cameras evolved big time and became more affordable. While a Digital SLR is good to produce professional quality images (that can be sold online), as a hobbyist you can start with a simple Point and Shoot camera or a bridge type camera. Selling digital photos online is a big business nowadays
- Writing or Blogging: Writing online or blogging is another way to make money online if you have the basic skills in writing about your experiences or topics of interest. Online writing or content creation can be for others or on your own blog or website. There are 100s of ways of making money online off which online writing, content creation, proof reading etc are proven methods that are highly in demand. You can either create your free blog on sites such as blogger.com or wordpress.com or get your own domain name (e.g myownblog.com) to host your blog
- Philately and coin collection: Well, stamp and coin collection is not something that can be easily achieved in a short time but has to take its own course before it can be profitable hobby. Also, you need a lot of contacts – both online and offline – who can provide or exchange valuable old collection of stamps or coins. The values of stamps and coins go up with time and you can make money by selling them online
- Gardening: Pure vegetable or fruit gardening may not fetch you a lot of money but specialty gardening definitely will. One such example is orchid flowers gardening and vanilla plants gardening that can really fetch you a lot of money while enjoying your hobby more unlike normal gardening. Gardening is among those universal hobbies for men and women
- Animal farming: There are many fast breeding animals and birds such as meat rabbits, pigs and chicken that can make a lot of residual income out of your animal farming hobby. Chicken farming can be a very easy care hobby that can be started with a very low investment and reap returns in very few months. Compared to larger animals, the above mentioned animals may not require huge area of land to graze and grow
- Knitting and Sewing: Among the hobbies for women, this has to be something that doesn't require a lot of investments and skills but need tremendous patience. There is however always buyers for hand knitted material and if you keep churning out masterpieces and designer like accessories, you are sure to make some money out of your favorite hobby
What I mentioned here is only an indicative list of hobbies and there are definitely a lot more hobbies out there that can be profitable leisure time activities too. By the way, do not forget about the enjoyment part of a hobby. Money or no money, the hobby is meant to keep you relaxed and entertained. If that is not the case and money making is the only aim, then there are methods such as Online Share trading, Forex trading (Read this article on forex trading basics to learn more) etc which may be risky but rewarding as well.

Younger generations stand out in their beliefs about organic, GM foods
There are many divides among Americans when it comes to their views and practices about food, but one of the biggest is the generation gap in attitudes about organic produce and genetically modified foods. Younger adults are more likely than older adults to think organic foods are better for their health and to believe GM foods are worse.
About six-in-ten U.S. adults younger than 30 (61%) say that organic produce is better for health than conventionally grown varieties, as do 57% of those ages 30 to 49. In contrast, 45% of seniors (those ages 65 and older) say organic produce is healthier, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
At the same time, younger adults are more inclined to believe that genetically modified (GM) foods are worse for health than non-GM options. Some 48% of those ages 18 to 29 say foods with GM ingredients are worse for one's health than foods with no GM ingredients. About three-in-ten adults 65 and older (29%) think GM foods are worse for one's health.
Younger adults are also more likely to expect GM foods to lead to harm for the population as a whole. Those ages 18 to 29 are more inclined than those 65 and older to say it is very likely that GM foods will lead to health problems for the population (21% vs. 8%). Younger adults also are more likely than those 65 and older to say GM foods will create problems for the environment (25% vs. 9% of seniors). But adults younger than 30 also are more inclined than those 65 and older to expect positive effects from GM foods: 30% say such foods are very likely to help make food affordable, and the same share says GM foods are very likely to improve the global food supply.
There are also at least modest generational differences in eating habits. More younger adults than older ones follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. Some 12% each of those ages 18 to 29 and those 30 to 49 say they follow a vegan or vegetarian diet either strictly or mostly. About half as many adults ages 50 and older say the same (5%).
But in other ways, the buying and eating behaviors of younger adults appear similar to their older counterparts. Roughly similar shares of adults younger than 50 (71%) and older than 50 (64%) have bought organic foods at least once in the past month. And about four-in-ten of each age group say that most or some of what they eat is organic. Some 47% of those ages 18 to 49 say they have bought food that is labeled GMO-free in the past month, as do 41% of those 50 and older.

What about asking about the business side of GM foods? I oppose GM foods in part because of the abusive, bullying practices the owners of GM patents have used against farmers. Monsanto has repeatedly subjected farmers to abusive litigation in an effort to force them into buying the right to use patented seed. I rarely see polls that concern this side of the GM issue and yet I see it as a huge part of intelligent, justified opposition to GM foods.
An interesting bit of language use occurs here, early in the piece. I have seen it elsewhere frequently: in speaking of vegetables, you differentiate between "organic" and "conventional" produce, as though vegetables throughout history have been grown with pesticides, or in a mono-cultural way.
Perhaps it is semantics, but since pesticides and monoculture are relative new-comers, wouldn't it make more sense to use the term "conventional" for NON-treated (or mono-culture) crops i.e. organics–and find a more appropriate term for pesticide-laden mono-culture crops?
They use the term "Organic" produce, as though other vegetables are not made of carbon structures. "Organic" uses both pesticides and (sometimes) monoculture, and all vegetables are organic in the chemical sense (i.e. they have carbon). "Organic" is a marketing term based on compliance with a few arbitrary standards, including not using modern pesticides (but other older pesticides are widely used), excluding the use of certain nitrogen fertilizers, and prohibiting genetic engineering (but not radiation or chemical mutagenesis).
So "Conventional" is conventional in that uses all the best tools available to maximize production while limiting land use, rather then arbitrarily excluding certain technologies. That's what farmers have conventionally done since the beginning of their craft.
Regardless of age or generation; if you are willing to pay the higher prices associated with producing organic foods, then happy growers, wholesalers, and merchants all stand ready to satisfy your every need.—Of course, and needless to say, the exact same thing could also be said for your desire to own and drive the latest 700 series Beamer or Lexus LS460L…if that makes sense? Can anyone else say, TANSTAAFL?
If the argument were purely for the sake of price? But it is not. It is concern for ultimate, as-yet undefined consequences of pesticide use and lack of diversity that some are willing to pay more for their food.

Uf sa 12A Unit ll/IEANS FR DIMENSIONAL MEASUREMENT F MOVHNG OBJECTS The present invention relates to the continuous measurement by radiant energy means of an outside or interboundary dimension of anobject which is at least Apartially opaque to said radiant energy `and has particular application to the measurement roftsuch a dimension where the object is constantly moving in an irregular or random manner along the direction of the dimension to be measured.
For example, in the continuousmeasurement of the diameter vor" a `wire being produced in a wire mill, the wire' is being fed` at relatively high speed past the measuring station and has a tendency to Whip around in a random manner. This renders the measurement of the diameter of the wire by photoelectric methods extremely dicult, and has `a tendency to introduce inaccuracies if conventional methods are used.
lf the wire passes by an aperture in such manner, its
variations in diameter intercept a light beam and cause the aperture to be shadowed in varying degree. Even if the wire remains stationary during measurement, the transverse `dimension of the aperture should not exceed the maximum permissible diameter of the .wire since small variations in wire diameter will have littleeffect on the total amount of light passing through the aperture except when the transverse dimension, of theaperture is very nearly equal to and only `slightly greater than the maximum permissible diameter of the wire.
lf the wire is moving and it whips around as it passes the measuring aperture, then the maximum excursion during its whipping movement must be added to the maximum permissible diameter of the wire in determining the transverse dimension of the aperture. This results in an increased transverse `dimension for the aperture, thus reducing the amount of, light variationtwhich `accompanies a small changein wire diameter and the sensitivity of the measuring device is reduced accordingly.
The present invention overcomes this diilculty by cycli- `cally scanning the moving `Wire with two spacedlight beams which simultaneously scan opposite edges of the wire. The wire is caused to simultaneously intercept both beams at least partially in one scanning excursion. Pursuant to the invention, the beams can be made exceedingly narrow and are caused to seek. out the `wire in whatever position it may be. As will be noted from the'description to follow, the beams are caused to scan the wire by movement in the direction of the dimension to be measured. The extent of such movement isdetermined by thernaxi mum extent of whipping or other` transverse movement of the wire which is likely to be encountered.
In one embodiment of the inventiomthe indicated wire diameter is entirely independent of. instantaneous scanning lspeed so that any effects caused Aby movement ofI the ,wire during scanning are effectively eliminated.
According to another embodiment of` theinvention the wire is repeatedly scanned `at ccnstantispeed-in therrsame direction, the eliects of wire movement ,being cancelled out in the course of repeated` scannings.

The light source 22 is arranged to produce two narrow Asubstantially parallel light beams of equal light intensitites shown by way of illustration by being of generally rectangular cross-sectional configuration which are widened in the direction of longitudinal travel of the wire as indicated by the arrow 21. However, any suitable beam shape may be employed. The two light beams and 26 are directed toward the photoelectric measuring device 23 which measures their combined intensitites and gives a visual indication thereof on an electrical indicator 27. Indicator 27 may also comprise means for controlling an audible or visual alarm signal or a rejection mechanism.
Means are provided, of which certain examples are hereinafter Yillustratively described, for cyclically producing repeated relative movement of a reciprocating or unidirectional character between the wire 20 and the two light beams 25 and 26 in the direction of the arrows 28 in such manner that successive and effectively complete individual interceptions of both of the light beams 25 and 26 will occur in the course of each complete movement.
l Referring to Figures 2, 3 and 4, this relative movement causes the wire 20 to intercept the light beam 26 completely in the position shown at 20a in Figure 4 and to intercept the light beam 25 completely when in the position shown in dotted lines at 2Gb, the wire 20 passing through the position shown in Figure 2 where it partially intercepts both beams. When the wire 20 is of maximum measurable diameter, it passes momentarily through the position shown at 20c in Figure 3 where it just completely intercepts both beams.
Referring to Figure 5, there is shown an arrangement wherein the two light beams 25 and 26 are cyclically vertically reciprocated with an adjustably fixed spacing between their centers for scanning the wire 20. A light source 30 is focussed through a suitable optical system diagrammatically indicated as a lens 31 and an opaque member 32 having a slit 33 formed therein to produce a single thin beam of light 34. The cross-sectional configuration of the light beam 34 is similar to that of the beams 25 and 26 described above.
An eccentric cam 35 is driven by a revolving shaft 36 to which it is secured. A horizontally reciprocating cam follower member 37 engages cam 35 and its movement is controlled thereby. Mounted on the free end of cam follower member 37 is a mirror 38 which reflects the beam 34 vertically upwardly to produce the beam 34a. The lateral position of the reflected beam 34a varies in accordance'with the position of mirror 38 carried by the horizontally reciprocating cam follower member 37 so that it traverses the region indicated by the shaded area in a cyclical reciprocating manner.
The vertical reflected beam 34a is directed to a fixed l inclined partially or half-silvered mirror 39 disposed above the. moving mirror 38, a portion of the beam 34a being reflected in a horizontal direction to from the lower beam 26. The lower lhorizontal beam 26 reciprocates vertically through the shaded area indicated on either side of the beam.
Another portion 34b of the reflected beam 34a continues vertically upwardly through the half-silvered mirror 39 and is reflected in a horizontal direction by the vertically adjustable inclined mirror 40 to form the upper beam 25. Beam 25 is thus parallel to the lower beam 26 and reciprocates vertically through the shaded area shown on either side ofthe beam.
' Adjustable mirror 40 is supported by a micrometer head41 of conventional construction and the vertical position of mirror 40 may be adjusted by turning the knurled drum 42, the position of mirror 40 being accurately ascertainable by reference to the usual calibrated scale 43.
YAls shown in Figure 5, the position of the upper mirror 40 has -been so adjusted that the spacing between the centers of the two vertically reciprocating horizontal beams 25 and 26 is equal to the nominal or average diameter of the wire 20. In such a case, as shown hereinafter, no output signal is obtained when the wire is of the correct nominal diameter. If the actual ydiameter should deviate from its nominal value, then an output signal is obtained in the form of a pip, the direction and magnitude of which are in accordance with the direction and magnitude of any such deviation.
The upper and lower beams are adjusted to provide equal effective light intensities. This may be accomplished as illustrated in Figure 1 by reducingv the horizontal width of one of the beams with respect to the other as by the adjustment plates 45 and 46. Alternatively, separate photoelectric devices may be used and individually adjusted to give the correct output signal for each beam, the individual outputs of the two devices being cumulatively combined in conventional manner to operate the indicator 27. This permits compensation for possible variations in the light transmitting and reflecting properties of the half-silvered mirror 39 and other factors which may be encountered in practice.
Where it is `desired to utilize a constant scanning speed to avoid variations in the time base of the output signal, the arrangement of Fig. 5 may be modified as shown in Fig. 6. The eccentric cam 35 has been replaced by quick return cam 35a which drives the cam follower member 37 to the right at constant velocity against the yielding action of a tension spring 47 connected to an upright arm 48 carried by the cam follower member 37. When the quick return portion 47 of cam 35a reaches the cam follower member 37, the cam follower member 37 is drawn rapidly to the left by tension spring 47.
To prevent scanning of the wire 2@ during the quick return travel, an additional cam 5ft is mounted on revolving shaft 36 and c-arries a projection 5f which engages a rotatable arm 52 during the quick return motion. Arm 52 is fixed to a rock shaft 53 to which a control arm 54 is secured. Control arm 54 is urged in a counterclockwise direction by a compression spring 55 to bear against a stop pin 56. The opaque member 33 is shown formed in two portions 32a and 32b with the slit 33 between them. One of the portions of the opaque member 33 is fixed and the other portion is movable, the movable portion being connected to the end of control arm 54 for movement therewith. In Fig. 6, the lower portion 32b is shown connected to control arm 54 so that slit 33 will be widened during the quick return movement. If the upper portion 32a is connected to the control arm 54, the slit 33 will be closed during the quick return motion. in addition a transfer contact group 57--58-59 is shown actuated by `control arm 54 during the quick return motion. The contacts 57--58-59 and the change in the width of slit 33 are used either jointly or separately to suspend response of the measuring device during the quick return motion, as explained in greater detail below. The constant unidirectional scanning arrangement of Fig. 6 is desirable whenever the indicating apparatus described below is of such a character that it integrates the output signal to an appreciable extent. Where the indicating apparatus responds only to the peak intensity of the signal, a constant time base is not required and constant scanning speed is unnecessary.
In Figure 5, the two beams, except to the extent to which either or both of them may be intercepted by the wire 20, are focussed throughout their range of scanning` movement by a suitable optical system on the light sensitive area of a photocell 60, the optical system being represented diagrammatically as a lens 6l.
Referring to Figure 7, there is shown an arrangement wherein the wire 20 is moved with respect to the light beams 25 and 26. The wire 29 passes between longitudinally spaced pairs of circumferentially grooved guide rollers 63-64 and 65-66 mounted in a common supporting frame 67 having upright pairs of arms 68 and 69.
"The `upper l roller H`63 is supported between -the fpairof `arms @'68 fin vertically `elon'gatedslots '70, being "pressed downwardly against the upper surface of wire 20 by apair of tension springs 71. The upper `roller '65 is similarly arranged,` being supported in elongated slots 72 4formed in arms 69 and pressed downwardly by a 'pair of tension springs`73. i
The entire assembly isvertically movable and is reciprocated by a pair of eccentric cams 74mounted on a revolving shaft 75. The-cams 74 rotate inraligned rectangular `apertures 7d formed in the downwardly extendingears 77 of the supporting frame 67, the heightof the rectangular apertures 76 being substantially equal to the diameter of cams 74 and their Width being sufficientlyl greater than the cam diameter to accommodate the eccentricity of the ycams 74. In this manner the scanning is eifected by moving the Wire 20 with respect to the light beams 25 and 26.
It should be noted that the narrow dimension of the `two beams 25 and 26 in their direction of scanning movement may be conveniently made adjustable as by an adjustable calibrated shutter arrangedto partially obscure slit 33. This will permit the narrow dimension of the beams to be made equal to the difference between the maximum and minimum permissible diameters of the wire as determinedby the maximum permissible deviation from a predetermined nominal value for the wire diameter.
`Referringto Figure 8, the photocell 60 is illustratively shown as a photomultiplier tube of conventional type which uses secondary emission to obtain increased sensiltivity. The anode 78 of photomultiplier 60is connected through a resistor 79 to a suitable source of vanode potential designated -l-, the negative terminal of the source being grounded.
The anode 78 of photomultiplier tube 60 is directly connected to the grid 80 of a triode 81 which is connected as a cathode follower. The anode 82 of triode 81 is con 'nected directly tothe source of positive potential -I- and the cathode83 is connected to'grcundthrough a coupling impedance shown as a resistor 84.
Triode 81 is cathode coupled by direct inter-cathode. connection to a control triode 85 `which is` connected generally as a grounded `grid stage. The grid 86 of control `triode 85 is normally biased to` cutof 'bya reference potential derived from the anode supply by means of an adljustable potentiometer 87. A by-pass capacitor 88 is provided.
The control triode 85 forms apart of Aa"self-calibrated arrangement comprising twofurther'triodes 89 and 9d which fare energized from source of alternating potential designated A. C. and which apply a controlledfnegative potential to a capacitor 91 connected inthe cathode circuit of the photomultiplier tube 60. This self-calibra 4tion ismade possible by the'fact thatexcept for a short "interval when the wire is lbeing scannedwand the wire diameter deviates from its nominal oraverage diameter, the light falling on the photomultipliertube` 60 will remain constant since the beams 25 and 26 have equal light intensities and either one beam or the other is uninterrupted exceptfor the short interval when both beams are each partially intercepted by the wire.
When Vthe signal applied by the photomultiplier tube 60 through cathode follower '81 to control triode 85 exceeds a certain value, the cathode 93 of control triode 85 becomes suciently negative so that anode current ows and discharges capacitor94which` is maintained at a positive .potential through the resistor 95 along with the anode 95 of control triode 85. "Ihisereducedpositive potential is fpassed through a resistor 97 to the grid 98 of triode 89 -whichdecreases the conductivity of ltriode89.
Triodes 89 and 9i) are connected'asavoltage doubler frectiiie'rjtheanode 99 of `triode 89 being connected along withithe cathode 100 oftiiodefid to thesource ofialterhating" potential Adesignated A.` Cfthrough a capacitor 101,1- theother side -of "theffsoureeilof #alternatinglpotential .the grid of cathode follower w3 *being grounded. The anode `andgrid of triode V are ltied together so that it operates as a diode.
Ilows slow variations in light reaching the photomultiplier tube dii, thereby compensating for the effects of slow changes in light intensity of the light source 30, the gradual accumulation of dirt on the lenses 31 and 61, aging effects and other similar phenomena.
As the average amount of light increases, the plate current through triode 81 decreases and its cathode 83 becomes more negative. Cathode 93 of control triode 85 becomes more nevative and its conductivity increases. This discharges capacitor 94 to a lower potential and grid 98 of the voltage doubler triode 89 becomes more negative, thereby decreasing the output of the voltage doubler and correspondingly decreasing the negative potential on capacitor 91. This decreases the current dow through the photomultiplier tube o@ and thereby compensates for the factor which caused the increase in average light to occur.
`In the event of a decrease in average light, compensation in the opposite direction takes place in a similar manner.
The output circuit of triode 81 is connected for measurement purposes from the cathode resistor 84 through a cathode follower stage comprising a triode 103 to the electrical indicator 27. The indicator 27 may be either of the indicating or recording type and will ordinarily comprise an electromagnetic movement of the dArsonval type `appropriately damped, the other circuit constants being so dimensioned that at the signal repetition rate determined by the speed of revolving shaft 36, the indication of the indicator 27 will be determined by the peak signal magnitude rather than any average value of the signal.
Any other form of peak signal measuring device may be used, if desired.
By using the modied arrangement of Figure 6, the scanning rate may be made uniform and unidirectional, thus maintaining a constant time base for the output signal independently of the position of the wire. During the quick return portion of the scanning cycle, the contacts `58 and 59 of Figure 6 are shown connected in Figure 8 to. short circuit the moving coil of the indicator 27 which will cause it to hold its position by reason of the highly increased damping and will prevent response to any signal `during the quick return movement of the scanning beams.
Aalternatively, the slit 33 may be increased or decreased 1n widtn durlng this portion of the scanning cycle to an extent sutlicient to substantially cancel the scanning impulse which occurs during the quick return. Ordinarily, the slit 33 will be increased in width since the wire produces a shadow the eifect of which can be cancelled only by `increased illumination.
`In operation, when the total illumination falling on photomultiplier tube o9 increases, the signal applied to of Figure 8 is in a negative going direction. The increased illumination causes a drop in space current in triode 81 decreasing the potential `drop across cathode resistor 84. In the `arrangement shown in Figure 8, this negative going signal across cathopt/ie resistor 84 increases the current dow through indicator 2 Referring to Figures 9, l0 and 15 there are shown graphs representing the voltageacross cathode resistor 84 plotted as ordinates against time plotted as abscissae.
In Figure 9, the iirst horizontal portion 104 of the curve represents the output signal across cathode `resistor-84` with one ofthe beams unintercepted and the other portion 105 represents the signal with the other beam uninterw cepted. In the example of Figure 9, the first peak 106 indicates that the wire diameter is such as to intercept both beams simultaneously to such an extent that the total illumination falling on photomultiplier tube all is decreased with respect to the illumination of a single beam. The second peak 107 is of greater magnitude and indicates a wire of increased diameter with respect to the wire which produced the signal peak ilu-5.
Figure l shows the signal obtained when the wire diameter is sufficient to intercept both beams, but where the excursion of the scanning beams exceeds the diameter of the wire, so that there are intervals when both beams remain unintercepted. The first portion of the curve 108 shows the signal with both beams unintercepted. The
curve lrises as the first of the two beams is intercepted and remains level until the peak is produced by the simultaneous interception of both beams. Thereafter, the curve becomes level at 111 while the other beam is unintercepted and drops as indicated at 112 at the other limit of the scanning excursion when both beams are unintercepted. This situation is shown diagrammatically in Figure A. The succeeeding portion of the curve shows the signal produced by a wire of larger diameter and with its position shifted with respect to the diameter and position of the wire which produced the signal peak lltl, the peak 113 being moved to the right and being of greater amplitude than the peak 110.
vFigures ll to l5 are graphs representing total illumination level at photomultiplier tube 6@ plotted as ordinates against time plotted as abscissae.
Figure ll shows the effect on total illumination during a single half of a reciprocatory scanning cycle when the wire diameter is sufficient to intercept both beams simultaneously for an appreciable interval of time. In the first portion of the curve at 114, both beams are unintercepted. At 115, one of the beams is intercepted. At 116, both beams are intercepted. At 117 the other beam'remains intercepted and the first beam is unintercepted. At 118, both beams are again unintercepted, in substantially the same manner as indicated in Figure l0, except that both beams remain completely intercepted for an appreciable time interval since the wire diameter is ymaterially in excess of that shown in Figure 3 with respect to the spacing between the two beams.
Figure l2 shows the illumination when the relationship between the wire diameter and the spacing between the beams is substantially as shown in Figure Z. dotted curve 119 represents the amount of illumination contributed individually by the beam and the dotted curve 120 represents the amo-unt f illumination contributed individually by the beam 26. Curve 121 represents the total illumination. As in Figure l1, the total illumination is first produced by both beams, then by one of the beams, then by the other and again by both beams. ln Figure 12, however, the diameter of the wire is substantially equal to the center spacing between the two beams. Thus at 122, as the wire begins to intercept beam 26 and curve 120 begins to drop, `the other beam 25 becomes unintercepted to the same extent and curve 1.19 begins to rise. This continues progressively until beam 26 is fully intercepted and beam 25 is completely unintercepted. During this transition period, the total illumination remains constant as indicated at 122. lt' the wire diameter is slightly less than the center spacing between the beams 25 and 26, the total illumination will increase as indicated by the peak 123 in Figure 13. lf, on the other hand, the wire diameter is slightly greater than the center spacing between the beams, then the total illumination will temporarily decrease as indicated by the valley 124 in Figure 14. In this manner, a slight variation in diameter of the wire with respect to the center spacing of the two beams will produce either a peak or a valley depending upon the direction of such dimensional variation, and irrespective of the position of the wire at the time when it is scanned.
In Figure l5, a complete scanning cycle is shown where the field of scanning is greater than the wire diameter as illustratively shown in Figure 10A. The wire is assumed to be near the upper portion of its range of positions and to be slightly above its nominal diameter so that both beams are partially intercepted to such an extent that a valley 125a is produced representing a decrease in total illumination on the upward movement of beams 25 and 26 near the upper limit of movement of the beams. On the downward movement, a valley 125b of the same amplitude as valley 125e is produced near the beginning of the downward movement of the beams. The positions of the two valleys 125e and 125b are symmetrical with respect to the vertical line 126 which represents the end of the first half cycle and the beginning of the second half cycle of scanning. If the wire has moved during the interval between the upward movement and the downward movement of the two beams, then the symmetry of the valleys 125e and 125b will be disturbed, but their amplitudes will remain equal. if the wire diameter has changed but its position with respect to the scanning beams has remained fixed, then the amplitudes of the two valleys will be different but the symmetry will remain undisturbed.
if a check on the roundness or circularity of the wire is desired, two or more independent measuring systems may be used operating to measure wire diameters which are angularly displaced from each other. These independent systems are desirably closely spaced along the direction of travel of the wire to prevent errors caused by rotation of the wire in passing from one system to the next.
Figure 16 shows means for obtaining two closely spaced beams for use in the measurement of finer wires. The reciprocating mirror 38 remains as described above for Figures 5 and 6, except that it is widened. The halfsilvered mirror 39 has been replaced by a pair of coplanar fixed mirrors 126a and 126b which flank the adjustable mirror 40. If adjustable mirror 40 is moved to be co-planar with the fixed mirrors 126a and 126b, the spacing between the upper and lower beams will be zero. lf adjustable mirror 40 is moved upwardly by eans of micrometer head 41, then the upper beam 25 will move upwardly to an extent determined by micrometer head 41 and the lower beam 26 will be divided into two laterally spaced halves 26a and 26b as may best be seen in Figure 17.
Referring to Figure 18, there is shown a modified form of device for producing a laterally moving light beam from the light beam 34 emerging from the slit 33. The mirror 38a is otherwise the same as the mirror 38 shown in Figure 5 except that the mirror 38a of Figure 18 is fixed. A revolving prism 130 is shown which has a regular polygonal transverse cross-sectional configuration. The polygon has an even number of sides so arranged that opposite sides are parallel and the polygon has been illustratively shown in Figure 18 as an octagon. The light beam 34 as it emerges from slit 32 passes between successive pairs of spaced parallel faces and through the rotational axis of prism 130. Because prism 130 is revolving at constant velocity about its longitudinal axis, the parallel faces 131 will rotate through an angle of approximately 45. The light passing between the parallel faces will be refracted as it enters the prism and refracted again as it emerges. Since the angles of refraction are equal and opposite, the horizontal direction of the light beam will remain unchanged. It will be displaced upwardly or downwardly however, depending upon the angle of incidence at which the light beam enters the prism. This will produce the required vertical movement of the light beam 34 in passing from slit 32 to mirror 38a, and the movement will be cyclically repeated in a unidirectional manner as the next pair of opposed parallel faces 132 moves into active refracting position and the faces 131 leave their former refracting position. Faces 132 are followed in turn by the pairs offaces 133 and 134, after which faces 131 again become active.
In any of the above embodiments, precision of measurement of the apparatus can be increased by merely narrowing the light beams in the direction of scanning.
It will be further recognized that whereas I have described the invention with particular relation to the measurement of a longitudinally traveling wire, it may be employed to measure any object whether or not elongated. In fact, it may be applied to any object in which a linear dimension is to be measured and the position of which at the time of measurement is not ascertainable with precision.

The following is a joint filing submitted to the Federal Communications Commission today by a broad coalition of entertainment industry guilds, unions and studios, including AFTRA, DGA, IATSE, SAG and the MPAA who have combined forces to speak with one voice on the issue of Internet theft through a single filing.
The joint filing is in response to the FCC's request for comments on a framework for broadband services, and addresses the possibility that the FCC will choose to reclassify the Internet as a telecommunications service subject to regulation under Title II. Please find excerpts from the filing below:
• "As creators of content, we realize that the theft of copyrighted works is the ultimate discouragement of content. The content protection measures that we have proposed only discourage the outright theft of copyrighted content, while protecting jobs and fostering creativity and American ingenuity. We believe that an open Internet offers tremendous promise for the proliferation of diverse audiovisual content, sound recordings, and myriad other forms of expression – it is those who break the law by exploiting these works without appropriately compensating their creators and financiers who discourage the creation of content."
• "The Guilds, Unions, and MPAA do not believe that Title II regulation is either necessary or desirable to achieve the public policy goals the Commission has articulated for broadband and an open Internet. But whether the Commission reclassifies under Title II or finds a new basis for ancillary jurisdiction under Title I, the Guilds, Unions, and MPAA believe the Commission's ultimate goal remains a clear, enforceable set of rules defining an "open Internet" framework. Whether under the Title II rubric of "reasonable non-discrimination" or otherwise, the Commission must provide clear and unambiguous guidance so that BIAPs can design their networks to include innovative solutions to online theft without fear of liability."

AFTRA, DGA, IATSE, SAG, & MPAA Make Joint FCC Filing Opposing Reclassification Of Internet
5 Comments
Net Neutrality simply means don't discriminate internet traffic. That's it. To oppose that is to oppose the freedom of information that built the internet itself.
Where's the WGA???
I am appalled at SAG. Seriously, has ANYONE over there done any homework?
Have they spent even two minutes to get educated on sites like at http://www.savetheinternet.com?
Do they have ANY idea what they are doing right now?
I wish people at SAG headquarters had spent even an hour a day online over the past year. Then they might have an idea of the level of stupidity in fighting Net Neutrality.
I'd like to second Justine's comments.
Verizon and Google have made their intentions quite clear. They want to stifle the dissemination of independent content by forcing it into the slow lane. Their intentions are no different than those of ATT, Comcast, and the other big players.
We the people through our Federal government got the Internet going long before the corporations recognized the value of it, swooped in and pretended it was theirs all along.
With content dissemination moving away from physical media – newspapers, DVDs – the Internet is fasting becoming the single most important means by which the citizens of the US, nay, the world, may become informed and make informed decisions.
What's at stake here is not just studio profits, but democracy in the US. This is as fundamental a First Amendment issue as any our republic has ever faced.
These unions' equivocation on this is tragic. They did their best to weasel-word their way into their opposition of Net Neutrality, and Justine to her credit saw right through it.
George W. Bush famously said, "If you're not with us, you're against us." These unions and the MPAA have lined up against the First Amendment. They need to get on the right side of freedom of speech, on the right side of democracy, and they need to do it now.
The unions are spot on here. Those who believe that net neutrality and piracy are not related are simply not educated in the matter. The pro-net-neutraliy lobby is heavily funded by corporations that have a vested interest in piracy. If you don't believe it, you're drinking too much Kool Aid.
Net neutrality would have positives, but the proposed legislation would also eliminate the right of ISPs to block illegal contraband (piracy). The unions are saying that any net neutrality legislation should be worded so that piracy can still be stopped. This is just like UPS and FedEX having the right to scan your packages for illegal weapons. There is no downside to fighting piracy, except for the assholes who want to keep stealing movies. For those losers, I have no sympathy.

Chorizo White Bean Baked Fish Recipe
Fast & Easy Dinner: Baked Cod with Chorizo
The addition of pork, whether it's bacon, sausage, or ham, is an instant flavor boost to all sorts of dishes. In this recipe, chorizo acts as a fatty, spicy seasoning for flaky white fish. It gives the cod a rich smokiness that's completely satisfying without being overly indulgent. Fresh tomatoes, chopped thyme, and canned white beans are the supporting ingredients that make this a healthful and savory meal. To look at the uncomplicated procedure,
Baked Cod With Chorizo
From Eating Well
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 ounces Spanish chorizo or turkey kielbasa, diced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, divided
- 1 15-ounce can great northern beans, rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 1/4 pounds Pacific cod, cut into 4 pieces
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot, chorizo (or kielbasa) and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are broken down and the wine is almost evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in beans and 1/4 teaspoon salt and remove from the heat.
- Sprinkle fish with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; place in the prepared baking dish. Top each piece of fish with equal amounts of the tomato mixture (about 1/2 cup per fillet). Pour the remaining 1/4 cup wine into the pan and cover the pan with foil.
- Bake until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over the top.
Serves 4.

DAVID Drew has said he is "not that keen" on being the Labour candidate in the June general election, but has not ruled it out.
The former MP told the SNJ: "I can't see why we are having a general election at this time with the world on the brink of so many crises - North Korea, Turkey and Russia and internal tensions in Scotland and Ireland let alone Brexit.
"However the first question we will want Neil Carmichael to answer is how can Stroud's Conservative MP be a candidate when he is currently under police investigation for election fraud?"
Speaking to BBC News today, Mr Drew said: "I'm not that keen to do it, but we'll see.
"It's like anything, I would rather not commit myself having said that I've retired, you know I have retired.
"I mean the difficulty is that lots of people, party members and just members of the general public, are ringing up and sending me emails and tweets and so on, and that's very nice and it's very gratifying, but again the main thing is that we put in a proper challenge in Stroud because otherwise our democracy is fallible."
Mr Drew was the Member of Parliament for Stroud from 1997 to 2010 before he lost his seat to Neil Carmichael.
He ran in 2015 to no avail, only making small gains with the Conservatives winning with 45.7 percent of the vote.

Delta Air Lines: About Those Cancellations…
Cowen's Helane Becker and team try to quantify the damage done to Delta Air Lines (DAL) by last week's computer-system failure that forced that cancellation of more than 2,000 flights last week:
Delta Air Lines experienced a power outage at their command center last week resulting in ~2,100 flight cancellations and significant delays. The network issues persisted over the course of four days (8/8 - 8/11). We expect a financial impact of
~$120MM to the company's 3Q16 financial results as a result of the cancellations,
delays and customer book away...
As a response to the cancellations and significant delays (+3 hours), Delta provided $200 vouchers to its customers. In an attempt to quantify the revenue impact, we assume during an average day in August, Delta flies ~540k passengers. If 100% of the passengers were delayed +3 hours or cancelled it would result in ~$108MM impact. We do not expect Delta to recognize the impact in just 3Q16 but rather over the course of the next four quarters. We also believe there could be some business travel implications, with customers changing flights / carriers in an attempt to circumvent Delta's issues. As a result, we are lowering our 3Q16 revenue assumption by $50MM. We believe Delta will still maintain their 3Q16 PRASM range (all else equal) of down 4% - 6%, but now believe there is potential revision to the low end of initial expectations, partially offset by less capacity being flown due to the cancellations.
The true impact of the flight cancellations and delays will be felt on Delta's costs. Delta will now face headwinds associated with less capacity and incremental costs from employee overtime and re-bookings. Admittedly, it is meaningfully more challenging to get comfortable with the potential cost headwinds associated with these types of issues. We are modeling $70MM in cost headwinds in 3Q16, which will result in an incremental ~100 bps in non-fuel unit costs during the quarter. As a result, we believe management will raise their 3Q16 non-fuel unit cost guidance to up 1%, from flat previously. There will be some cost offsets associated with lower revenue and profit sharing, as well as jet fuel trending towards the lower end of management's initial expectations of $1.52 to $1.57/gallon.
Shares of Delta Air Lines have advanced 0.5% to $36.53 at 10:56 a.m. today, lagging United Continental (UAL), which has gained 1.6% to $47.86, and American Airlines (AAL) has climbed 2% to $35.63.

Trouble with meta information and name displayed of themeAsked by Saraiphotography on January 22, 2016 at 11:49 PM
Hi. I purchased a theme from you named "Small World". I renamed the form of course to "Just Kidding Mag Form..." but when I share it to facebook or anyplace where there is a preview of the link, it still shows the name as "Small World". How do I change this? And I was wondering was it going to do this with all the Name Titles of your themes and forms.
Thanks so much.
I do not see any themes applied to your form 60203003712132, and I do not see any references to "Small World" anywhere in the form's source code:
The only form you have with a theme applied on it is 52662082764156, and it looks like one of the free themes. Did you by any chance mean that you've cloned your form from our templates gallery instead?
If so, it could be that the template still had its old name set as the form's Page Title, or Title. Please take a look at the Preferences of your form, as depicted in the following image:
Please let us know if you experience any further issues, and we will be happy to help. Thank you.

I've been tagged, so here are my worst music moments, courtesy of iTunes:
1. Angels and Airwaves, "The Adventure"
I have a soft spot for power-pop and layered pieces (a la wall-of-sound and prog rock). I've always found myself liking Tom DeLonge's stuff with Blink-182 in spite of the fact he writes some truly bad lyrics This one's on my workout mix when I go to the gym.
2. Marc Cohn, "Walking in Memphis"
Best line from this song: "She said,'Tell me, are you are Christian, child?'/And I said, 'Ma'am I am tonight.'"
3. Mike and the Mechanics, "All I Need is a Miracle"
I also have a soft spot for synth-heavy 80s dreck, and the best of New Wave. This falls somewhere in between.
4. David Bowie, "Underground"
Taken from the Labyrinth soundtrack–a cool, if somewhat disturbing movie; it features David Bowie in very tight pants. Not as cool as Bowie as Nikola Tesla, but guaranteed to creep out the kids.
5. Tears for Fears, "The Working Hour"
I genuinely like this song, but never heard it until I was in my early 20s. I had heard "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Head Over Heels" from Songs From the Big Chair , but nothing else. Then I went over to someone's house and listened to it on their record player. I now also own the album on vinyl (80s all the way!).
I tag Keith at The Projector is Ripping Your History since he actually knows a thing or two about music.

What a waste of an episode. And I adore Sayid, but Personally I think that Cruse and Lindleof have spent a bit too much time reading and believing their own press. It is like, what was a brilliant show, has become a fan based perpetual joke. Now let me explain what I mean: The zombie thing,when Sayid wakes up and assures Hurley that he is not a zombie, was a direct reference to jokes made by C&L about the new season not being about zombies.
If I hadnt looked up on you tube 'comic con', I would not know the joke about Hugo saying the thing about Shannon's inhaler. I live in australia, download the episodes every week, and love, love love the show. But, if you are not in 'the loop' of fans and fanatics, the show has stopped making sense. What the hell was last night about? what 'in' joke have I missed, that saw precious lost minutes being wasted by sayid fighting the temple guy. Where is Sawyer? What is going on with Jack and Hurley, and what the hell was that 'why didn't we see this lighthouse before?' "I guess, we werent looking for it' Oh please. I am so dissapointed. someone please explain how I keep the faith.
I was wondering what on earth I was going to do when Lost finally wrapped up. I think this great thing (the show) just got bigger than the writers could deal with and maybe the only good thing to come out of season 6 is that my pain will be eased at the end, cause I think it is now being written to only make sense to fans who live in america and participate in all the outside of curriculum fan stuff, ie comic con, Lost university, the challenges, cast interviews etc... I don't want to be, but I can't help it, I am really pissed off.

Feelings are suffused with meaning.
They are basic to human experience and conduct in a way that logical reflection is not.
Preoccupation with "cognition" only scratches the surface when it comes to understanding ourselves. Our mental operations are ultimately rooted in bodily activity.
We act on feelings (as animals do) often without reflection.
Our struggle to make sense of the world has its roots far, far deeper than the abstract manipulation of language based on thought.
Our use of language sets us apart from other animals but we often attribute our linguistic constructions, an independent reality that they don't have.
We feel and act and react with our bodies. Mental operations are rooted in bodily activity and do not constitute a detached, non-physical sphere where reason can operate untainted by our fleshly interests.
Susanne Langer's three-volume Mind: an Essay on Human Feeling
http://amzn.to/SIVZds does about as much as anything could to show how our struggle to make sense of the world, our concern with symbolization, religious observance and artistic expression.
