1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to acoustic arrays and, in particular, to endfire microphone or loudspeaker arrays.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It has been desirable to secure improved response for a wide range of frequencies, such as is encountered in the transmission of speech or music. One apparatus used for achieving this objective was through the use of an impedance device comprising a plurality of substantially equal diameter tubes having uniformly varying lengths arranged in a bundle. Another apparatus used a single tube with apertures spaced equally apart having substantially the same dimensions. Typically, such impedance devices are coupled to a microphone or a loudspeaker and are known as endfire acoustic arrays.
In each of the devices described above, the response pattern comprises one main lobe and a plurality of gradually decreasing smaller sidelobes. These sidelobes represent undesired response to signals coming from other than a desired direction.
In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, energy emitted from a source is propagated to a transducer through a plurality of coupling paths, the relationship between the coupling paths being nonlinear and the response pattern from the coupling paths comprising one main lobe and a plurality of sidelobes equal to or less than a desired threshold value.
In one embodiment, the coupling paths comprise a tube having a plurality of substantially identical collinear apertures. The apertures are arranged in pairs such that the conjugates are equidistant from, and located on opposite sides of, a center line drawn perpendicular to the length of the tube. The relationship of the distances between the pairs of apertures is nonlinear and is determined according to the method of steepest descent. The distances between the apertures is such that the response pattern comprises one main lobe and a plurality of sidelobes substantially equal to or less than the desired threshold value.
In another embodiment, the coupling paths comprise a plurality of tubes having substantially identical diameters and arranged in a bundle so that one end of each tube is coupled with a common transducer. Furthermore, the tubes vary in length so that for every tube whose free end falls short of a center line, drawn perpendicular to the length of the arrangement, there is a tube which falls beyond the center line by an equal distance thereby defining a symmetric array. Additionally, the relationship among the lengths of the tubes is determined by the aforesaid method of steepest descent such that the response of the arrangement comprises one main lobe and a plurality of sidelobes substantially equal to or less than a desired threshold value.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a broadside array 10 comprising a plurality of pairs of microphone or loudspeaker elements 12,22; 14,20; 16,18; . . . the elements of each pair being equidistant from a center line 24.
The length of the array is defined as the distance between the pair of elements farthest from center line 24. Thus, if the length of the array is chosen to be 8 wavelengths and if the performance is to be optimum at, say, 3521 Hz, using the principles of physics, the length of the array can be found to be
(1128/3521)�12�8=30.75 inches
where 1128 is the velocity of sound in air in feet per second at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
If a source 26 is sufficiently far away from the array 10, sound emitted from source 26 can be considered to impinge on array 10 in a plane 28. Thus, plane 28 will reach element 14 before reaching the conjugate element 20 of the pair 14,20, each element being at a distance Di wavelengths from the center line 24. If plane 28 makes an angle 90-S with center line 24, the plane will reach element 14 by the time required to travel a distance Di Sin S wavelengths before reaching center point 32 of the array 10. Likewise, the plane 28 will reach element 20 by the time required to travel Di Sin S after reaching the center point 32 of the array 10.
As is well known in the art, the output of each element may be expressed by the plane wave equation in complex form as Ae-j(ωt-kx) where kx is the delay factor and A is the sensitivity of the element.
If the output signals from the elements are to be in phase, the output from element 14 must be delayed by a factor of e-j2πD.sbsp.iSinS and the output from element 20 must be advanced by a factor of ej2πD.sbsp.iSinS. Likewise, the output from all the other elements must also be adjusted. Because the elements may be microphones or loudspeakers, electrical delays can be used. Furthermore, because it is not possible to obtain negative delays for elements below center line 24, it is necessary to introduce delays to all elements with respect to element 22. It is possible, then, to build an array for optimum performance when a sound plane is incident at an angle S to the center line 24 of the array 10 with built-in delays, i.e., to steer the main lobe of the response to the angle S.
When sound is incident on such an array at a different angle θ, the response from the upper elements will be affected by a factor of e-j2πD.sbsp.iSinθ. Likewise, the response from the lower elements will be affected by a factor of ej2πD.sbsp.iSinθ. That is, the response will be affected by:
(a) from the upper elements e+j2πD.sbsp.i.sup.(Sinθ-SinS) (1)
(b) from the lower elements e-j2πD.sbsp.i.sup.(Sinθ-SinS) (2).
Since ejφ =Cos φ+jSinφ, expressions (1) and (2) can be combined to obtain a factor by which the response of a pair of elements must be adjusted, i.e.,
2 Cos [2πDi (Sinθ-SinS)] (3).
The response of the pair of elements is
Ri =2Ai Cos[2πDi (Sinθ-SinS)] (3a)
If there are N pairs of elements, i.e., 2N elements, the normalized response of array 10 will be ##EQU1##
Because the array 10 is a broadside array, S=0 and equation (4) becomes ##EQU2##
The response for a broadside array, with elements spaced equally apart, is shown in FIG. 2.
If the array 10 is steered to 90 degrees, i.e., S=π/2 radians, equation (4) becomes ##EQU3##
Instead of using a broadside array steered to 90 degrees, it is possible to achieve the same response by using an endfire acoustic array. Referring to FIG. 3, endfire acoustic array 40 comprises substantially identical sized aperture pairs 42,52; 44,50; 46,48...perforated in a tube of uniform diameter, the elements of each pair being equidistant from and on opposite sides of a center line 24 and the distance between adjacent apertures being identical. One end of the array 40 has an acoustic sound absorbing plug 32 and the other end has a utilization means 34 which may be a microphone or a loudspeaker.
Whereas in the broadside array the elements were microphones or loudspeakers, in the endfire array the elements may be apertures. In the endfire acoustic array 40, the delay corresponding to each aperture is the time taken by sound to travel through tube 40 between that aperture and the utilization means 34. Sound entering through the plurality of apertures will be in phase at the utilization means 34 only when sound is coming from 90 degrees, i.e., from a source parallel to the length of the array. At angles other than 90 degrees, the signals do not arrive in phase at the utilization means 34 resulting in sidelobes of reduced level.
The response for an endfire array where the elements are uniformly spaced is shown in FIG. 4. The main lobe is steered to 90 degrees or π/2 radians. Near 3π/2 radians or 270 degrees, there appear two large undesirable sidelobes. It has been found that in increasing the design frequency by a factor of two, the two large sidelobes can be eliminated. That is, if the design frequency is 3521 Hz, by designing the array for operation at 7042 Hz, the two large sidelobes are eliminated. That is to say, by multiplying Di by a factor of two in equation (6) the two large sidelobes can be eliminated. Thus equation (6), for endfire arrays, becomes ##EQU4##
Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown an impedance device comprising a plurality of tubes having progressively varying lengths, in uniform increments. Such an arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,795,874 granted Mar. 10, 1931 to Mr. W. P. Mason. The Mason impedance device improves response patterns appreciably over then previously known devices. FIG. 6 shows in cross section, through plane 6--6, the impedance device shown in FIG. 5.
Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown a tube comprising a plurality of uniformly spaced apertures. The tube is closed at one end by an acoustic sound absorbing plug 72 and is coupled at the other end with a transducer 74. Such a device is disclosed at page 224 in "Microphones" by A. E. Robertson, 2d Edition, Hayden, 1963. Indeed, such a device has been manufactured by a German manufacturer, Sennheiser, Model No. MKH816P48. Such a device is useful in improving response and is useful in the broadcasting and the entertainment fields.
As stated earlier in connection with FIG. 4, there appeared two large sidelobes near θ=3π/2 radians. To eliminate the two sidelobes, a factor of two was used in the computations for the spacing in equation 7. Referring to FIG. 8, there is shown the resulting response pattern that is obtainable from endfire arrays, as shown either in FIG. 5 or in FIG. 7, with 48 elements and 8 wavelengths in length. As shown in FIG. 8, when a factor of two was used, the two sidelobes disappear. Although the two large sidelobes have been eliminated, the remaining sidelobes vary in intensity, interfere with fidelity and consequently are undesirable.
The effect from the undesirable sidelobes can be reduced substantially by adjusting the spacing between the apertures in the tube in FIG. 7 or by varying the lengths of the tubes in FIG. 5 according to the method of steepest descent. The method of steepest descent is defined at page 896 of The International Dictionary of Applied Mathematics, published by D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc., Princeton, N. J., Copyright 1960.
Referring to FIG. 9, there is shown a transmission system embodying the present invention. A source of sound 80 is connected by line 81 to a coupling path 82. Coupling path 82 is connected by line 83 with a utilization means 84. In one application, source 80 may be a speaker, line 81 the atmosphere, coupling paths 82 some physical means connected directly with utilization means 84 which may be a telephone transmitter connected to a telecommunication system for transmission of voice signals. In another arrangement, source 80 may be sound from a louspeaker connected directly with coupling paths 82, line 83 the atmosphere and utilization means 84 a listener.
Referring to FIG. 10, there is shown an embodiment of the coupling path 82 of FIG. 9. The coupling path comprises a plurality of tubes 90 arranged in pairs so that one tube in each pair is as far below a center line 91 as the other tube in that pair is above the center line 91 and such that the relationship of the differences in lengths between the pairs varies nonlinearly according to the method of steepest descent. The application of the method of steepest descent to the spacing of acoustic elements in an array was disclosed in detail in U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 104,375, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,311,874 filed Dec. 17, 1979, by the same applicant herein and assigned to the same assignee herein.
As described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,311,874, the response for a broadside array of 2N apertures is set forth in equation 6 where the angle θ is substituted for the angle J of the patent and the term Sin J of the patent is replaced by Sin θ-1 because of the 90� shift in the direction of desired response of the end-fire array. The frequency doubling to eliminate the undesired pair of sidelobes results in equation 7 for the end-fire array. With uniform spacing, the first sidelobe of the end-fire array has a peak substantially higher than the desired level, e.g., as in FIG. 8. The object of the design procedure is to determine those spacings between elements that will reduce the peak of the first and all other sidelobes below a predetermined level. As the above-referenced patent, the response is differentiated at the peak of the first sidelobe with respect to the distance Di. For the end-fire array, this differentiation results in ##EQU5## due to the aforementioned 90� shift and the frequency doubling.
The change in the distance Di by which the element is moved is proportional to the partial derivative of the response R with respect to the distance D1 so that ##EQU6## where P is the constant of proportionality. The change ΔR in response is ##EQU7## and the relative change in response is found by dividing each side of equation 9 by R: ##EQU8## Substituting the value for δR/δDi from equation (8) and the value for ΔDi from equation (9) into equation (11) and simplifying, the value of the relative change ΔR/R becomes ##EQU9## The expression to the right of the summation sign in equation (12) contains N terms, each of which has an average value of 1/2 and can be approximated by N/2. Equation (12) can then be further simplified: ##EQU10## If K is defined as being equal to ΔR/R to produce the desired level of sidelobes, equation (13) can be rearranged so that ##EQU11## and the distance ΔDi can be calculated from equations (8), (9), and (14): ##EQU12## After determining ΔDi for each of the distance D1, D2, . . . the corresponding positions of the elements are adjusted to be (D1 �ΔD1), etc.
The response corresponding to the peak of the second sidelobe is then determined. The relative change in the response desired is the difference between the second sidelobe peak and the desired level of the first sidelobe peak. Equation (15) is used as previously to provide new distances (D1 �ΔD1), (D2 �ΔD2), . . . by which the element distances must again be varied. Peaks of the third and all remaining sidelobes are then calculated and the corresponding distances (Di �ΔDi) are found. After adjusting all these distances, however, it will generally be found that the original length of the array will have been changed. At this length, the design constraint will have been violated. It is therefore necessary to change the length of the array back to the original length so as to correspond with the design frequency. Consequently, the distance of each element must be proportionally changed so that the length of the array will correspond to the desired length. By repeating the process described above several times and normalizing the length of the array each time, the desired response pattern shown in FIG. 12 is obtained.
The tubes 90 are tied together in a bundle so that one end of each tube is coupled to a transducer 92. The other end of each tube is open. When the transducer 92 is a microphone and the microphone structure is pointed in the direction of a source of sound, that sound will be picked-up, the structure discriminating against noise, i.e., discriminating against sounds from sources other than the target source.
Referring to FIG. 11, there is shown another embodiment of the coupling path 82 shown in FIG. 9. The coupling path comprises a hollow tube 100, one end of which is capped with an acoustic sound absorbing plug 104 and the other end of which is coupled with a transducer 106. Tube 100 has a plurality of collinear apertures arranged in pairs: 110,111; 112,113; 114,115; . . . so that the apertures of each pair are equidistant from a center line 102 drawn perpendicular to the length of the tube 100. Furthermore, in accordance with the present invention, the distance between the pairs vary according to the method of steepest descent disclosed in detail in U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 104,375, filed Dec. 17, 1979 by the applicant herein and assigned to the assignee herein.
The response from the endfire array in FIG. 11, i.e., steered to an angle of π/2 radians or 90 degrees, is shown in FIG. 12. There is shown one main lobe 140 at 90 degrees, and a plurality of substantially smaller sidelobes in accordance with the objective for the present invention. Such a response pattern is obtained also for the structure shown in FIG. 10.
The directivity index of an acoustic endfire array as shown in FIGS. 10 or 11 is 3 dB better than a broadside array of FIG. 1 which is steered to 90 degrees. This means that an endfire array 3 feet long is as effective in reducing undesirable noise as of a broadside array 6 feet long.
The table 1 below shows the spacing for a 48 element array, 8 wavelengths long and designed for optimum performance at 3521 Hz.

Whereas the spacings between elements have been determined based on the far field i.e., the acoustic radiation field at large distances from the source, response criteria, the structures in FIGS. 10 and 11 can be used equally well under the near field i.e., the acoustic radiation field close to the source, conditions without changing the spacings. As discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,311,874, far field design criteria refer to acoustic waves from several sound sources that are assumed to arrive as a plane and to impinge each element equally.
Referring again to the endfire array 100 of FIG. 11, when transducer 106 is a loudspeaker, the signal radiated therefrom will weaken progressively as it advances through tube 100 because of radiation through the apertures 115 . . . 157, 113, 111 . . . 156. The larger the apertures, the greater the radiation will be. The radiation measured at each aperture is the pressure or excitation thereat.
When the apertures are relatively small, the excitation at each aperture will be substantially the same, shown by the indicium 130 in FIG. 13. Also shown in FIG. 13 is the desired response for the endfire array of FIG. 11. It is to be noted as stated hereinabove, all the apertures in FIG. 11 have the same size.
As the aperture of FIG. 11 are uniformly increased in size, the excitation at the aperture nearest the loudspeaker 106, i.e., aperture 157, will be larger than the excitation at the aperture farthest from the loudspeaker 106, i.e., aperture 156. Shown in FIG. 14 are the response for one embodiment of the endfire array in FIG. 11 and the excitation 144. The excitation 146 at aperture 157 is twice as large as the excitation 148 at aperture 156. The envelope of the sidelobes in the response, is as low as that in FIG. 13. Furthermore, there has been no degradation in the directional response pattern except for a small widening of the main lobe.
When the apertures of FIG. 11 have been made so large, that there is no excitation at aperture 156, farthest from the loudspeaker 106, the excitation pattern will appear as shown by indicium 154 in FIG. 15. Again, the envelope of the sidelobes in the response will be as low as that in FIGS. 13 and 14 and there will be no degradation in the directional response pattern except for a small widening of the main lobe.
Thus, the variation in excitation at the aperture by increasing the size thereof does not result in any degradation of the response pattern provided the excitation decreases linearly from one end of the tube to the other. The relationship of the spacing between the apertures, however, are nonuniform, or nonlinear, as defined hereinabove. A substantial amount of the sound generated by the loudspeaker 106 in FIG. 11 is thus radiated through the apertures without degrading the response pattern of the loudspeaker.

II Out of Bounds: Judges, Legislators, and Europe's Law Noga Morag-Levine Michigan State University College of Law Schmooze Ticket March 2004 1 Legal reform has long taken place through the movement of ideas about the law across national borders—sometimes by decree, at other times by choice.1 The spread of American-inspired judicial review to numerous countries over the past few decades is one of the most important contemporary manifestations of the workings of such legal transplantation.2 This phenomenon has had an important structural effect beyond sheer transnational legal exchange. The global emergence of powerful, politically assertive courts has redefined the instruments through which legal transplantation has historically taken place. Prior to the globalization of judicial review, domestic legal systems acquired outside influences through one of two means: military conquest or, more commonly, legislation patterned after foreign models.3 With the rise of powerful judiciaries outside the United States, court opinions have emerged as a novel venue for cross-national importation of law. Newly created or emboldened courts can now draw inspiration from statutes of other countries and the opinions of foreign judges. They were encouraged in this direction by a growing sense of community among segments of the judiciary and legal academy world-wide.4 A distinctive result has been a marked increase in the prevalence of citation to foreign court opinions on the part of European Union (EU) adjudicative bodies and a number of national supreme courts.5 The United States Supreme Court has been comparatively slow to follow this trend. Only a small number of citations to foreign laws and opinion have made their way into Supreme Court opinions in recent years, and these were largely limited to dissents, concurrences, or footnotes. Nonetheless, they sufficed to spark a heated political and legal debate on the legitimac

Supplies needed:
-noodles (any kind you can thread through)
-rubbing alcohol
-food coloring
-paper towels
-cookie trays
-rubber/plastic glove
-paper cups
-pipe cleaners
-hole punch
This list seems long but it's likely a lot of things you already have.
The directions I found for dying noodles was a capful of rubbing alcohol and 5 drops of food coloring in a baggie then add in about 10 noodles at a time for the best color. Having never done this before I followed directions. After I had the first batch of noodles in I realized this wasn't going to be very clean or efficient. You can't just dump the noodles because there's still a lot of liquid left in the baggie. So, I found myself a glove to pull them out. The next issue was getting more noodles in the bag...you have to hold the baggie open, still have a glove with food coloring on it and are trying not to spill/stain anything. I gave up and just poured more alcohol and random amounts of food coloring in and filled the bag with noodles. It worked just fine. You need to manipulate the noodles around for a little bit to make sure they are all getting wet but I thought the color turned out just the same as it was only doing a few at a time. I would also recommend using freezer bags as the noodles punctured holes as I swished them around in just a little sandwich baggie. I will say though that mixing colors to make more fun colors didn't work. The orange turned out the same as red and the teal turned out the same as blue. It must have something to do with the color of the noodle because it looked like the right color in the baggie. The tutorial I read also said they had a hard time getting purple, it always turned out black.
You can probably use a variety of items as your 'thread' but if you use yarn you need to wrap tape around the end because it starts to fray right away. I just had yarn on hand so that's what I wanted to use.
Some of them liked throwing the noodles more than threading them! It was a good sensory bowl too I guess.
Some of the younger ones just made a necklace but JP enjoys threading so we made wind chime. I punched 4 holes in a paper cut to go around.
For the hook I used a pipe cleaner. I folded it in half and twisted the bottom and poked it through a hole in the top. I then spread out the tips of the pipe cleaner kind of like a drywall anchor.

The latest heartrending tale of hope and heartache from best-selling author Anne Bennett. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Annie Groves.
Maeve Brannigan is only 18 when she leaves her rural home in County Donegal and moves to Birmingham, where she falls in love with handsome Brendan Hogan. But married life isn't as idyllic as she'd imagined, and when Maeve falls pregnant with their first child, she soon realises that Brendan isn't the man she thought he was.
Saddled with a violent husband and with two young'uns needing her protection, Maeve bears her life as best she can. After a particularly vicious attack, she is forced to flee back to Ireland - but her presence is greeted with open hostility by the close-knit Catholic community that she was once so eager to escape.
Driven away to face her abusive husband, Maeve's future looks bleak. Will she find the strength to break free and make the prospect of a better life a reality rather than a distant dream?

What Size Square Pans For 2 Tier 50 Serving?
Decorating By KsCakes09 Updated 12 Aug 2010 , 2:45pm by indydebi
I always get nervous that the cake won't feed the amount of people requested. Even more so when its being cut by the customer not a venue. It will be double layer w/ filling. I usually go by Wilton, but most of the time you are either way over or under servings......HELP!!!
My serving size is 1x2x4 (standard industry serving - which is the wilton wedding chart - their party chart has larger servings) If the customer wants to serve larger peices then they need to order more servings.
For 50 servings in a square cake I would use a 6/8
6 = 18 servings
8 = 32 servings
I use these guides and they haven't failed me.
Good Luck
It's important to tell/provide a chart on how the cake should be cut to get the required no. of servings, that way they can't blame you if they cut it wrong and run out.
It's important to tell/provide a chart on how the cake should be cut to get the required no. of servings, that way they can't blame you if they cut it wrong and run out.
Oh definitely! I always send a copy of indydebi's cutting guide along with a cake. It works for every shaped cake and it is using the standard 1x2x4 serving.
KsCakes09, I feel the same way you do about the wilton charts. Especially when the cake is being cut by "non-professionals". What I have begun doing is averaging out the wilton wedding and party charts. What I mean is, (for example)if the party chart says 24 and the wedding chart says 36, I split the difference and figure that the cake will serve about 30.
Agree with the above numbers that a 6/8 would be sufficient. However when I have a client who wants EXACTLY those servings, I always offer them the choice:
"A 6/8 will serve exactly 50 people when cut in the industry standard 1x2x4. If you think your family might cut them a little bigger, you might consider a 6/10, which will serve 62 standard servings. Which do you prefer?"
I'd say 99.9% of the time, the client goes with the bigger cake (and I make more money).

Some nursing staff were rude, unfriendly and very unhelpful. They just seemed not to care or know about anything going on.
Response from Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust 5 years ago
Thank you for commenting on your experience at East Surrey Hospital.
As Chief Nurse I'm disappointed that you found some of our nursing staff rude, unfriendly and unhelpful although I'm pleased it was not all nursing staff! Clearly this is not what I expect of my staff and it would help me enormously if you could email me with more details of your experience so I can take it up with the staff in the department.
I can be contacted on email@example.com or you can telephone my secretary Lucy on 01737 231825 as I'm usually out and about in the hospital.

Wahoo I says. Wahooooo! Acting! The animators dream! Woot! I feel like I've been getting back to basics and body mechanics for the last year and now I'm getting back to acting (which is what I was doing when I first started AM, but hopefully a better animator now!). Here's my progress on my first acting assignment, which is a silent piece where we need to simply show a character going from one emotional state to another.
I went for a really simple idea for this one as I wanted to focus more on getting a great performance instead of getting carried away with a grand story (as I always do :-/ ). Even still, I get impulsive urges to make this scenario more complicated but I have to repress it, Grrrrr. It's loads of fun animating my own character and it's something I haven't done in a loonngg time! I've fallen behind with the rigging though and I'm still rigging as I'm animating (see how the facial expressions are symmetrical? That's because I haven't split up the left and right blend targets yet :-P). Wouldn't have rigged it without the help of Advanced Skeleton and Zoo CST though! Wow, I can't believe I started modelling this character about 3.5 years ago, just had him on the backburner and pulled him out now and again to touch him up. Great to see him finally coming to life!
Here's my vid reference exploring a few ideas and some sketches exploring some poses!
And here's a Sea creature, wid ids wittle baby-waby! Oohhhh Cooooot! Last weeks AM sketchbook theme was "Baby sea creature".

Nothing unofficial about it
Sir Why the Unofficial tag on Priya road show (Oct 29)' There is anyway nothing official about the district administration being run by the henchmen of political parties, predominantly red, in rural Bengal. In fact, not only the administrative services but local bodies like the panchayat and the zilla parishad are also in the full control of the ruling party. It is public knowledge how local development funds available to panchayats have been used as party funds; how public utilities have been advertised as the achievement of political parties including roads. If the district administration of Raiganj thought the laying of a road could not be usurped by any political party for its selfish interests, it should not have invited a prominent politician of the constituency to inaugurate the construction. That it did shows how intrinsically administrative duties have become associated with politics. If this association is suddenly being questioned it is because the left realizes that it no longer monopolizes the game.
Yours faithfully, J. Sharma, Calcutta
Cracking the code
Sir Every organization in Manipur has its own set of rules by which it tends to monitor the so-called traditional and ethnic identity of a people who have remained so long mute to such diktats (Manipuri girls bow to rebel dress code, Oct 15). Be it a ban on the screening of Hindi films in the state or a fresh set of instructions for women, each such organization clamours for a way to gain public attention. This is particularly true in the case of the political doublespeak wherein the Centre is accused of everything that goes wrong with Manipur, although the groups follow the same oppressive policy towards its own people.
Let the militants remember that the Manipuris are capable of safeguarding their cultural and ethnic identity and that they look on such diktats as a ploy to gain control over the population. A more painful development has been the no-show by womens groups in the state. By remaining silent over this issue they seem to have been overpowered by might if not by right.
Yours faithfully N. Tomchou, Imphal
Sir Khelen Thokchoms Manipuri girls bow to rebel dress code makes poignant observations. It has been noticed that dress codes are always imposed on the women of a particular religious or linguistic group. Does this mean that the responsibility of preserving the ethnic or religious identity of a community rests only with the women' Trousers and shirts, worn by men, including the Manipuris, are not Indian, and certainly not of Manipuris. Instead of making an issue of such trivial matters, Manipuris should channel their energies to strive towards development.
Yours faithfully, D.K. Bhattacharjee, Guwahati
Sir The blockade of the Imphal-Kohima highway has caused an artificial scarcity of essential commodities in Manipur. The blockade has been continuing since early September. Vehicular traffic has come to a complete standstill, barring some trucks and goods carriers which ply clandestinely through the night.
The highway was shut down following an incident in which two Manipuri-Tangkhul girl were allegedly raped by Naga militants on September 5. Routine press-handouts by militants insist that they are not using the incident to deepen the wedge between the communities and that the protest is for the improvement of NH 39 so that it can serve as an alternative route connecting Imphal to the rest of the country. The Manipur chief minister, Okram Ibobi Singh, understands this need. But what is being ignored is that precious resources are meanwhile running out of stock. Prices have also gone up. No steps are being taken by the government to solve the scarcity. If the blockade continues for much longer, public anger will vent itself onto the streets. There is also the risk of deteriorating relations between Nagaland and Manipur.
Yours faithfully, Momo Sanasa, Imphal
Sir The editorial, Bad neighbours (Sept 11), contained some misleading statements. There is no tension between Nagaland and Manipur. As a Meitei, I know for certain that my community does not hold it against Nagas in general for the recent armed robbery and alleged rape of two women on Manipur-bound vehicles inside Nagaland. In fact, the Nagaland police did a commendable job by apprehending some of the suspects promptly. The misunderstanding is bound to the cleared up and the relations between the two states will not worsen.
However, the Meiteis are understandably agitated because extortion, robbing of passengers, detention and assault on drivers did take place inside Nagaland in the recent past. I take these buses when I go to Imphal with my wife and daughters, and have narrowly escaped an armed robbery once. Now that possible rape has been added to the list, no woman travelling on this highway will ever feel safe again. I do not think a blockade of highways by any organization will solve anything. But the present blockade is meant to be a protest against the two state governments for failing to provide security to passengers and goods trucks. Why should anyone read communal meanings into this blockade' For that matter, even Naga student organizations had often blocked NH 39 whenever they felt the need to protest against the Manipur government or Meitei organizations.
I wonder if a section of the media itself is not responsible for stoking ethnic tension. Take the ceasefire episode in Imphal, for instance. The Meiteis, as some people had made it out to be, are not against the ceasefire or the peace process in Nagaland. They only expressed their anger against their own politicians, who, they felt, had sold them out. That is why only Meitei politicians were targeted and not a single Naga was harmed during the ceasefire protests in June 2001. I also fail to understand how Tripura will be affected by a blockade of the highway.
Yours faithfully, Robin S. Ngangom, Shillong
Justice done
Sir With reference to Brinda Karats Delivering anything but justice (Oct 17), we would like to point out some important facts about the incident that took place at village Savrikala, district Balaghat, on July 30. It is not true that the panchayat meeting convened by the sarpanch of the village of Savrikala sentenced the local teacher, Bhuvaneswari Devi, to gang rape.
The lady herself did not mention the alleged panchayat order for gang rape either in her first information report to the Lanji police station on July 30 or in an affidavit submitted to the district collector on July 31, or in the statements given to the chief executive officer of Janpad panchayat, Lanji, on August 3. Further investigation conducted by the subdivisional officer (police), Lanji, has not substantiated the allegation of the panchayat order for gang rape. A lady constable and a homeguard have been posted for the safety of Bhuvaneswari Devi since September 27.
The villagers stopped sending their children to the three schools in Savrikala after a decision taken by them at a meeting held on July 30. The schools could only be reopened on August 13, after an assurance was given to the villagers that the teachers allegedly involved would be transferred. Bhuvaneswari Devi has not been transferred by way of punishment, but rather to maintain law and order in the village. She has been posed in a school of the village of her residence, Chikliamali.
Cases have been registered against the sarpanch, the panchayat secretary, BDCs under section 504, 509 and 500/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Under Madhya Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1993, proceedings have been initiated for the removal of the sarpanch, BDC member and the panchayat secretary on the grounds of misconduct. It is quite clear that the district administration and the police have taken action against persons who are responsible for public rebuke of a lady. At present, the matter is pending before the high court, Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur branch under writ petition no 4903/2002.
Yours faithfully, Ajita Bajpai Pande, directorate of public relations, government of Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal

Younha to Support Epik High by Guest Performing During Daegu Concert
Younha will be appearing as a guest at Epik High's Daegu concert as a part of the national tour Parade 2014, proving her friendship with the group.
Younha performed in four of Epik High's concerts between November 14 and 16 in Blue Square Samsung Card Hall in Yongsang-gu, Seoul. Following that, Younha has confirmed to perform in Epik High's concert taking place in Daegu on December 7.
Younha first collaborated with Epik High in the song Umbrella included in Epik High's fifth full length album released in 2008, and she reunited with the group again in six years through the song We Fight Ourselves from the eight full length album. She also voluntarily featured in Epik High's performance of the new title song Happen Ending, being called 'the fourth member' by the Epik High members.
As hard as Younha worked to present high quality performance with Epik High during Seoul concerts, anticipation is on the rise for Younha's upcoming performance during the Daegu concert.
For this national tour, Epik High is preparing a different set-list for each city. Although it has not been easy preparing different concerts for each city, especially when the group has been carrying out concerts in China and Japan tour at the same time, Epik High has made the decision to present a special time for the fans coming to the concert. .
Having wrapped up its first solo concert in Shanghai and Beijing on November 22 and 23, Epik High will be holding its Japan tour in Tokyo Shibuya Womb on November 27, Tokyo Shinjuku Blaze on November 28, Nagoya Aichi Bottom Line on November 29, Osaka Shinsaibashi Sunhall on November 30 and Osaka Bigcat Live House on December 1.
The national tour will continue in Daegu on December 7, Incheon on December 19 and Busan on December 27 and 28.

born Martin Kimko Luckhurst in Japan to Korean mother Ai Hyun Kim and American father former Darby's Ranger Sargent Judson Baker Luckhurst. Fourth child out of five siblings, soon they divorced when he was aged 3 and brought up at age 7 by his stepmother Ottillie Weinholdt who married his dad in Warwick, Rhode Island then moved to Lake Wales, Florida last few years of high school. He hitchhiked the south eastern states in his teens, before hitch hiking across country to California at the age of 20. His father showed him some Japanese Jujutsu moves at an early age and Green Hornet's Kato (Bruce Lee) movies really inspired him, then in his teens got heavily into Taoism when the TV show Kung-Fu came out and that piqued his interest. Studying Kung-Fu and all other martial arts at the age of 14 was his love and still is to this day. He had the dream of being the kickboxing champion of the world when he had seen in 1975 on the wide world of sports network kickboxing greats Joe Lewis and Bill (Superfoot) Wallace fight. Holding a 1st degree black sash in Kung-Fu San Sui and some Judo coming to San Diego California later trained in Tang-Soo-Do, American Kenpo Karate and Judo. Living in the Dojang and Dojos (schools) teaching and cleaning them for the rent and fighting as an amateur boxer with a record of 23 wins and 2 losses in 1978-81 then turning pro boxer in 1982. He later became a world ranked kickboxer in 1986-90 retiring with a record of 14-2-1 rated 8th in the world. Always interested in acting thought he could follow his hero Bruce Lee's footsteps or better yet Chuck Norris, but realized it was not to be. But one day in 1992 on his Harley Davidson in San Diego, riding with his buddies with a few girlfriends in tow, one of them said they needed extras that had Harleys for a show called Renegade. He showed up and he happened to look like one of the actors and they asked him if he wanted to do stand-in double work and he did for a season, learning on the job, things they don't teach in school or classes he had often stated. He finally made the move to Los Angeles in 1994 landing a few minor roles then in 1995 TV shows like Super Dave Osborne Vegas Spectacular playing a kickboxer/stuntman challenging Super Dave for the best stunts. Always cast as a heavy but later on in years now playing dads and nice uncles in comedies. His love of westerns has got him into horses at a later age of 25, owning his first horse at age 28, now an expert horseman/wrangler worked on ranches for several years from San Diego Cuyamaca/Julian to Topanga Canyon/Santa Monica Mountains and all the way to Maui/Hawaii. He still rides his Harley and horses and is teaching martial arts when he is not acting.

Since we decided to travel with our newborn (1 month) son to Iztaly we were looking for an accomodation that would serve both: the needs of the parents ;-D to have a high standard clean and convenient Hotel with modern rooms and good service. AND: A hotel that would be kid friendly. to make it short: One cannot expect more.
It started with our early arrival (8:30 in the morning) and the stuff did not even think a second but gave us a room already that early even thogh normal check in starts at 2pm. Rooms are perfectly tidy, very modern, brilliantly equiped bath, tasteful furniture, spacious balcony with view on the carrar marmel mountains. Not to mention that they offered us to go to the buffet breakfast without extra charging this.
Breakfast is GREAT offering every day scrammbled eggs, a variety of homemade cakes, fresh fruits, homemade fruit saladcerelas, ham, cheese, a variety of different breads, yoghurts, fruit juices etc. etc. - basically everything one could wish .
Regarding children. The staff was so friendly they really showed that kids are not a "have to accept" but are VERY welcome. Without asking we got a babybed, they offer babyseats in the dining rooms as well as they have modern kid-seats for the (free of charge) hotel bicycles. Need hot water in the night. just a call and you get it...
On the roof they have a marvellous lounge (with pool) area which serves for sunbathing during the day and is changed to the hotels dining area (a la carte kitchen is marvellous!!! and very good price/value ratio) with a wonderful view to the near sea and the mountains.
Our car was parked in the garage and vallet parked and fetched there every time we came/went out - 24 hours!!!
When we left a 3 in the morning to avoid traffic in St Gotthard the night stuff was very very friendly offering us coffee and helping with the luggage...
So - in short: GO there - you will love it. We will definitley come back :_D

Paraffin is a flammable substance that is used both for beauty treatments and as a heating oil in lamps and candles. Liquid paraffin is most commonly found on the retail market as a fuel for heating. When used as directed, paraffin usually does not emit smoke or odor. Buying paraffin oil is not difficult, but it does require careful research as shipping costs can be high and the wrong kind of liquid paraffin could be unusable in your lamp or candle.
Determine if your lamp or candle requires a specific type of liquid paraffin. You may need to refer to the manufacturer's website or your instruction booklet for this information.
Decide how much liquid paraffin you really need and how much you can afford to spend. Typically a gallon of paraffin oil costs about $10 to $20 as of 2010, but shipping costs could exceed $10 depending on which merchant you select. This is due to the weight of paraffin oil gallons.
Visit the websites of merchants who sell paraffin oil. There are dozens on the Internet, but just a few possible choices are Church Partner, Amazon and The WEBstaurant Store.
Alternatively, you can check with your local home supply or hardware store to see if they carry paraffin oil or can order it for you. This might save you money on shipping costs.
Enter the words "liquid paraffin" or "paraffin oil" into each website's search function if you opted to pursue your purchase online.
Read each individual page you visit carefully. Make sure this is the right paraffin for your needs. Understand shipping costs and any other appropriate information such as shipping time or vendor return policies if you require an exchange or refund.
Place your liquid paraffin order once you are comfortable that you've selected the right company for your specific needs. Give the personal information necessary to complete your purchase, which typically includes your full name, shipping address, telephone number and credit or debit card data.
If you do not have a credit or debit card, you can call the merchant at its customer service number (this information should be noted on the business website.) Request instructions on how to complete the transaction by mail order. Usually you'll be asked to obtain a money order to finish the purchase, though a few retailers will accept company or personal checks. Keep in mind if you use a check, it will almost always be held to ensure the funds clear before any merchandise can be shipped.
Wait for your liquid paraffin to arrive. If you ordered online, you'll typically receive an e-mail confirmation with shipping details including a delivery tracking number.

Grilled Sea Scallops and Fennel
Use the grilled scallops to top our Mixed Fresh Herb Pasta.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: WILLIAM MEPPEM
Source: Martha Stewart Living, August 2003
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 to 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon anise-flavored liqueur (optional)
- 24 sea scallops (about 1 1/4 pounds), tough muscles removed
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 bulb fennel, trimmed, reserving fronds for pasta sauce
Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil with the lemon juice and liqueur, if using. Add scallops, and toss to coat. Slide scallops horizontally onto small skewers (about 6 on each). Season with salt and pepper.
Place skewers on grill. Grill, rotating, until scallops are golden outside and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill.
Cut fennel bulb in half lengthwise, and slice lengthwise again into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Toss with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, and grill, turning, until fennel just wilts and starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove scallops from skewers. Serve warm.

I'm 27, in med school, I'm a nurse practitioner at the American Cancer society and I work.
I pretty much just chill when I'm not at work and in class. I work 15 hour shifts 3 days a week and have school in between working on my MD., so I'm a busy person. I don't really have a problem staying up for days at a time, I'm use to it now haha
I usually make time when I want for people, I'm also available 4 days a week with a little time to study in there so my schedule is pretty relaxed. I'm also a huge nerd. I used to work in IT security. I like Anime, (I used to be on a pro gaming team) just nerd stuff in general.
I prefer anything with a lot of action or a very elaborate plot. I watch House, dexter, scrubs, some Anime, the IT crowd, Futurama, and a few cooking shows.
As far as food goes, my favorite is sushi and Spanish. Mostly burritos! I know how to cook mostly anything though (it's a hobby). Although I'm not opposed to vegatarianism. I love fruits and veggies just as much =)
I listen mostly to dubstep, drum n bass, and some rock.

David Beckham trimmed beard for Victoria
David Beckham trimmed down his beard after his wife Victoria told him she wouldn't kiss him while he was so shaggy.
The retired soccer superstar had been sporting very thick facial hair but decided to reduce his facial hair due to the prospect of the kissing ban.
He said: "I was in Miami and Victoria actually saw the picture and was like, 'There's no way I'm kissing you unless you shave that off.' I left it for a day, and I was like, 'You know what, I'm going to have to do it.' "
Despite the 40-year-old fashion designer disliking his bushy beard, David, 39, has admitted his children - Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 12, Cruz, 10 and Harper, three - really loved it.
Showing off his new look on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden', he said: "The kids loved it actually, my little girl would just sit there and mess around with it. That was the end of it."
And it's not the only advice he takes from Victoria as David previously admitted he lets her dress him "99.9 per cent of the time."
He previously said: "The best fashion advice Victoria has probably given me is not to wear something. She's told me quite often because honesty is important when you're in a relationship.
"She's very honest, and she doesn't like what I'm wearing, she tells me straight. She gives me advice because her vision of fashion is marvellous and her business is going great. I listen to her advice 99 per cent of the time."

Leaving Lottawatah by Evelyn David is the 11th book in the Brianna Sullivan Mysteries series. A novella-length story, Leaving Lottawatah continues the spooky, yet funny saga of reluctant psychic Brianna Sullivan who planned to travel the country in her motor home looking for adventure, but unexpectedly ended up in a small town in Oklahoma.
Things are messy in Paradise. The happily engaged couple of Brianna Sullivan and Cooper Jackson are anything but. Angry words set Brianna and Leon, her bulldog companion, off on a road trip, but it's hard to run away from home if everyone wants to come with you. Before she can leave town, Brianna is unexpectedly joined on her travels by Sassy Jackson, her maybe ex-future mother-in-law, plus Beverly Heyman and daughter Sophia, both still grieving over a death in the family.
Destination: A psychic convention in America's most haunted hotel. But they haven't reached their destination before Brianna is confronted by two ghosts demanding help in capturing the serial killer who murdered them decades earlier. Even more worrisome, another young woman has gone missing. It's up to Brianna and her road crew to stop the serial killer from striking again. Brianna has hard questions for the spirits surrounding her, and for herself. Does she want to marry Cooper? Is it time to hit the open road again and leave Lottawatah behind? Or will the ghosts of her past continue to haunt her wherever she goes?

Dipankar Das Purkayastha has been officially named as the new CEO of Kolkata-headquartered ABP Group, replacing Dr Pramath Raj Sinha, who has put in his papers after a stint of a little over a year. The news of Dr Sinha's resignation, which was reported by exchange4media on Friday, has now been made official within the company.
Purkayastha was the Executive Director and COO of the ABP Group and he has over the years headed the Finance and IT portfolios in the group. He is also credited with having built up BusinessWorld INFOCOM as a major property for the group and as a significant IT event in the eastern part of the country.
Dr Sinha, formerly a McKinsey Partner and Dean of the Indian School of Business, had joined ABP in January 2006. He had succeeded Aniruddha Lahiri who had left ABP towards the end of 2005 after three years at the helm of eastern India's largest media house.

I am using Sitefinity Content block to display the HTML on page. I want to use HTML "data-" attribute on content block's DIV or whatever wrapper tag.
Is this any way available to set it?
Help would be highly appreciated.
When editing the Content Block:
- Click on the Advanced button
- Scroll down to the bottom of the attribute list
- In the "WrapperTag" edit box, enter the "data-" attribute after the div
Thanks Laurent,
I'm trying to use Sitefinity tools as much as possible. Having developed the site previously in ASP.NET, I want the new website to resort to coding pages manually as little as possible. Could a Request for Change be made to allow layout div tags, to add data attributes as you can with content blocks? It seem on the surface a small change?
Hello Everyone,
Thanks Laurent for creating a Feature Request. I just vote it up.
Also, Thanks David to suggest a way to customize the layout div. It would be great if we can assign custom attributes, id and wrapper tag to layout.
Jaydeep Jadav
I'm not following this request.
Make Sitefinity work best for you.
