Editor's note: The following Case Study was handled by Fausto Regusci, independent nutritionist from Grover Beach, Calif.
Things were running well at a 2,500-cow California dairy. Production was 86 pounds of milk per cow per day, on average, with excellent components, reproduction and herd health.
Then last spring, the farm made some ration adjustments to compensate for the high cost of cottonseed. Nutritionist Fausto Regusci received a call a few days later that the cow's milk production had dropped 8 pounds and most of the herd had very loose manure. He visited the dairy the next day and confirmed this finding: The manure was very watery with about 30 percent of the rolled corn passing through the cows.
The dairyman informed Regusci that he had not changed anything except removing cottonseed from the ration.
But there had been some other changes, as Regusci learned upon further investigation. The farm had started feeding new corn silage and changed the company that it was buying steam-rolled corn from.
Regusci took TMR and silage samples and sent them off to a lab for analysis.
The TMR and corn silage samples came back with very high yeast counts — 73 million cfu/gram and 43 million cfu/gram, respectively. With those high of counts, it was obvious that the new corn silage had not fermented properly.
"I knew than that we had aerobically unstable corn silage that can cause reduced intake, milk production and milkfat depression," Regusci said.
He suspected that the silage had not been packed properly when it was delivered to the silo.
In California, it often happens that large amounts of corn silage are delivered in fast succession and it is not always possible to properly pack the pile, he points out. "This causes oxygen to be present in larger amounts," he adds. "As a result, we have slower fermentation, providing an excellent condition for unfavorable yeast species to grow."
Because the farm still needed to feed the silage, Regusci made the following recommendations:
- Only use fresh silage, no leftovers from the day before.
- Clean out feed refusal in the mangers before new TMR is fed.
- Try to feed silage from the lower part of the pile to the milk cows. Higher density and lower yeast counts are present closer to the bottom of the pile.
- Integrate a feed additive known as Yea-sac into the ration. Go back to the previous company the farm had been buying steam-rolled corn from, since it appeared the new company had not processed the corn properly.
- Reintroduce cottonseed back into the ration.
A week after these improvements were made, milk production increased to 84 pounds and butterfat was at 3.7 percent. Manure had returned to normal and no grain corn was passing through.
"The dairyman is now at ease that his problem was solved without adding extra cost to his feed diet," Regusci says.
"Next year, he will monitor his corn silage delivery and corn packing so better corn silage can be produced," he says. And, hopefully, the dairyman will do a better job of communicating with his consultants any changes that have occurred on the farm.
And, when it comes to putting up silage in the future, Regusci recommended:
- Cutting the corn shorter at harvest.
- Adding one more tractor during delivery of the silage so a better pack can be achieved.
- Testing for yeast and mold before feeding new corn silage to the cows.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Elan Pharmaceuticals (South San Francisco, CA) in February 2010.
Was contacted by a outside recruiter. The job sounded interesting. They wanted to move directly to in-person interviews. I said I really wanted to do a phone screen first and was told they don't do that. So I agreed to move directly to in-person interview. I was very clear with the recruiter that I did not want to participate in any "panel" interviews during any first round of interviews and that I would be glad at this stage to meet with as many persons as they wished but that it would have to be on a one to one basis.
So I should up for the interviews and the very first was a panel interview with five "VPs". I was rather angry but contained those feelings and proceeded with the interview. I was astonished at the lack of relevance of the questions I was asked by such senior managers to a candidate for a senior position. It was highy dis-organized. During the interview I could hear an argument going on in the adjacent conference room and it seems to be getting pretty nasty. Now you would thing that the CIO, the most senior guy to be conducting my interview would care about how all this would seem to a candidate but he didn't raise an eyebrow about it. After two very ackward hours this interview ended. I was ready to bail. But they wanted me to meet with "a few more of the lads".
Well it turned out to be another panel interview, this time with four guys that report to the un-lucky person to take this job. Again I painted a smile on my face for another two hours.
One the most painful and pointless interviews I've ever had. Aside from the fact that I was blind sided by the first panel interview, which I specifically said I did not want to do. The questions were among the dumbest I've ever been asked in my 18 years as a senior IT executive. And then on top of that, being subject to another panel interview with staff that was never mentioned in the first place.
I could not drive away from the place fast enough. I was blow away when they made an offer.

A lovely customer of mine wasn't happy with a recent New Improved and more Grown-Up bead display, and was good enough to let me know that she would prefer to be able to rummage through my beads and 'discover' one she likes, so I have transformed the display to something with which even I am pleased. I had some trays just waiting to be painted white, made some dividers out of excess window blind slats, organised the beads into the compartments, and off I went to the fair yesterday with my beads displayed in a more fun and accessible way. I really don't want to spend any more time on displays than I already have in the time I have been selling them, I hope this is It, enough already!
Making and selling beads involves far more than melting glass. Creating a website requires being able to take decent pictures of one's work, quite nightmarish at first and my first efforts are still visible somewhere on here. Last week I was working with wood and power tools, not exactly to high standards of finish, but sufficiently well enough that no-one will get a splinter while looking for beads. Then there's business card design, I would not like to use any other programme than Adobe Photoshop for my artwork, I'm so glad I didn't have to learn how to use that as well, luckily I've been using it for years. Being able to make basic jewellery is a useful skill of course, as well as lugging heavy bags to and from fair venue's, not to mention being able to drive to them. It's surprising how much time the whole business can take up, and I applaud anyone who manages it on top of full time work. Now that I have settled on a display method I will have more time and no headaches over it, and I'm so pleased that I don't have to go through yet another re-think before next weekend, instead I can focus on what I'm really interested in. What with all the peripheral occupations, I'll be glad to get back to the torch, which brings it's own niggles, as well as therapeutic value, but more on those another day…
I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's fair at Langside Hall in Glasgow. As usual it was fun to spend time with the stall holders around me. Becky Wilson's photo's are beautiful and would grace any home, see them at www.bexphoto.com, Jacqueline Graham's jewellery is delicate and pretty (no website!) what's more, she uses lampwork beads made by bead makers here in the UK, which I appreciate. It was lovely to have Sean and Gillian present too, from www.hamiltontaylor.co.uk, kind, funny, generous people. I wish I hadn't forgotten the names of other people I met, I want to give them a mention too, but all the crafters are listed on the fair website if you want to have a look.
www.craftfairsscotland.co.uk is a well run organisation, all their venues have been pleasant to be in, plus which, their crafters/artists are of a standard which means that it is a pleasure to make that detour and come in to see the works on offer.
I was very much struck by three customers yesterday, they were more fascinated by the tactile nature of glass beads than by their colour, shape was very important to them too. I even had several customers who didn't want me to make beads into jewellery, they had findings at home and were excited about making themselves something. I loved that. I'm very much looking forward to the next Glasgow fair!

Cradle to Cradle
Cradle to Cradle
Buildings as feedstock of the future
According to United Nations estimates, the construction industry in Europe accounts for almost 50 percent of raw material consumption. At the same time, the construction industry in Germany is responsible for almost 60 percent of waste generated (Federal Statistical Office).
But all players know that the Earth's natural resources are limited – resulting in an increasing focus on the issue of raw materials shortage. According a study, 85 percent of companies in the construction industry are already suffering from rising raw material prices.
And a Commerzbank study found that raw materials supply was already a more urgent issue for companies than energy.
The material cost of building construction projects (excluding power) currently accounts for some 22 percent of the gross production cost. In road construction, the figure is over 30 percent. All forecasts point to a further increase in competition for raw materials.
Combating raw material scarcity with continuous cycles
The Cradle to Cradle® concept (C2C) codeveloped by the German chemist Michael Braungart describes the principle of two continuous cycles (circular economy): Products for Consumption are biodegradable and return to the natural nutrient cycle. Products for Service are broken down into pure raw materials after use and returned to a technical cycle. Material quality is retained, so downcycling – with loss of quality – is avoided. All ingredients are chemically safe and recyclable. There is no waste in the conventional sense – only reusable 'nutrients'.
All parties involved benefit from C2C
As the link between investors/builders/architects and product manufacturers, Drees & Sommer provides clients with the opportunity to adopt innovations in design, construction and operation. At the same time, we offer extensive security that the value of their property will be maintained in the medium and long term. In this way, we act as the central point of contact with in-depth expertise for the implementation of Cradle to Cradle® in the real estate sector and construction industry.
The value add for principals and investors are:
- Reduced construction costs through leasing of raw materials and performance
- Higher market value of the property through freedom from pollutants, recyclability, and facilitated disassembly. In contrast to conventional new buildings, no costs are incurred for the disposal of hazardous waste. On the contrary, the sale of disassembled and sorted raw materials results in considerable revenue.
- The building as a warehouse: Cradle to Cradle® turns our built environment into a kind of raw material warehouse. The building stores the materials used in construction during the service life of the building and releases them for sale at the end of its life.
Users will benefit primarily from:
- Health-promoting buildings: Cradle to Cradle® is a powerful instrument for quality assurance and improvement, and is beneficial to the health and well-being of users, for example, through improved air quality.
The benefits for suppliers and manufacturers are:
- New business models: If the construction materials remain the property of the manufacturer as a result of the leasing model, the manufacturer secures high-quality raw materials for the future at predictable prices. Alternatively, a guaranteed return can be agreed with fixed terms and conditions.
- Long-term growth: If a manufacturer takes back used products for recycling into new products, they can significantly increase their share of the value-added chain.
- Benefiting from innovations: Cradle to Cradle® is an attractive way for manufacturers to actively meet the planned extension of manufacturers' product liability, thus profiting from new legislation.
The convincing aspect of Cradle to Cradle® is thus that all participants benefit: Investors and principals can cut construction costs and investment volume. Product manufacturers secure raw materials for the future and open up new markets. And users get high-quality, healthy buildings at competitive prices.
Drees & Sommer is committed to the establishment and promotion of C2C in the real estate sector and construction industry. We collaborate with Prof. Braungart's Institute EPEA to this end.
In this way, we are committed to projects that combine economy and ecology for our customers in two ways:
- Through efficient use of energy and resources, leading above all to minimized operating costs
- Through the planning and use of recyclable and non-toxic building materials, components and building services equipment
On April 23, 2015 the second Cradle to Cradle® forum named "Between illusion and reality" took place in Stuttgart. The forum was dedicated to construction and real estate economy.

LWVPDX Comments on EPA Cleanup Plan for Portland Harbor Superfund Site
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposed cleanup plan does not adequately address the pollution in the Portland Harbor nor does it provide the level of risk reduction essential to protecting human health and the environment.
- It is of utmost importance to adopt and implement a thorough cleanup plan for the Portland Harbor that, in addition to removing toxic substances, will have effective, permanent long-term results and reduce the possibility that additional action will be needed in the future.
- There should be less reliance on the EPA-proposed level of capping and Monitored Natural Recovery (naturally occurring processes that reduce contamination) and more emphasis on removing contaminated sediment.
- Contaminated sediments must be stored offsite in certified toxic waste disposal facilities.
- Long-term monitoring is essential. The EPA and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality should establish a common agreement on how to measure the success of the plan that is adopted.

Physical Education
The Rhythm and Moves physical education curriculum teaches students successful ways of moving so they enjoy physical activity while learning that being physically fit and healthy is good for their physical, emotional and social well-being. The highly qualified, professional and motivated educators engage each student – revealing their inner potential to embrace physical activity and life-long health and fitness. The expected outcomes of the program continue to evolve to address the changing needs regarding health and fitness in an ever-evolving society.
The foundation of our curriculum is based on Laban's Movement Education Principals and the TGFU (Teaching Games for Understanding) Model for teaching sport skills and concepts. Health and fitness concepts are introduced throughout each unit, focusing on individual health and fitness that will enhance performance of the specific movement or sport being taught.
The following units are addressed throughout the year:
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Dance
- Softball
- Football
- Volleyball
- Pickle Ball
- Tumbling
- Hockey or StxBall (Rotates each year)
- Track (Junior High only)
- Gaelic (Junior High only)
- Cricket (Junior High only)
The general objectives of each lesson are based on the SHAPE National Standards for physical education kindergarten – eighth grade.
At the elementary level, our curriculum focuses on the fundamentals of movement by developing an appreciation for a variety of skills and physical activities. Students learn to feel kinesthetically confident and competent, increasing the likelihood they will continue to enjoy and look for more opportunities for physical activity later in life.
At the middle school level, students move from concrete to abstract thinking. Instructional strategies and curricular content support this shift in thinking by scaffolding curriculum content towards individual interests, allowing for students to draw their own conclusions through cooperative learning scenarios.
Our curriculum provides students with experiences where they have the opportunity to think critically about their fitness, and set lifelong goals for an active lifestyle. Our physical education classroom, students develop the crucial tools needed early on for a healthy and active lifestyle after graduation.

Doily Cut-Out Shirt
My mom bought this cute sweatshirt at a craft show. The scenic doily is
sewn onto the sweatshirt. Then turn the sweatshirt wrong side out and trim
away the fabric under the doily. It is so versatile because you can wear
it with a different color top for a whole new look! You could also do this
on a T-shirt and wear a tank top under it for the summer.

Join us for a beautiful walk out in the Forest! It's great time to see what's been on the land by the tracks they leave – we'll hope for bobcat, fisher, and maybe that elusive American marten. We also hope to catch some good afternoon light and if we're lucky a winter sunset. This walk will be led by ACT Board member and naturalist Steve Sabre and ACT's Rebecca Brown.

$500,000 protection
yacht model
The 289-ft. Maltese
Falcon is the largest and most expensive sailing superyacht. This extravagant and elegant ocean voyager
was built for the venture capitalist Tom
Perkins (one of the men who helped found Silicon
Maltese Falcon completed its trial sail on June 12th,
2006, and made her maiden voyage from Turkey to Italy
in July 2006.
Fully rigged, the three story 20 story carbon fiber
masts hold sails that can move the Maltese Falcon across
the Atlantic in just ten days. The yacht's
sophisticated computer detects parameters such as wind
speed automatically, allowing a single person to pilot the yacht. Perkins
himself wrote some of the yacht's unique control
The superyacht has a permanent crew of 18 to maintain the
technical aspects, including the rig and to operate the
onboard "hotel" which can accommodate twelve guests plus
four guest staff.
The Maltese Falcon yacht was sold in 2009 for
$100 million to Hedge-fund manager Elena Ambrosiadou.
Perkins sold the yacht to concentrate on his new
interest of a personal submarine that has wings and,
says The Sunday Times, "resembles Stingray from the
children's puppet series".
Some of the awards the Maltese Falcon's won:
- 2007 International SuperYacht Society — Best
superyacht over
36 m
- 2007 Showboats international Award — highest technical
achievement in a sailing yacht
- 2007 Showboats international Award — best sailing
yacht interior
- 2007 Showboats international Award — best sailing
yacht over 40
- 2007 Showboats international Award — most innovative
sailing yachts
- 2007 Boat International World SuperYacht Award —
Sailing Yacht of the Year
- 2007 Boat International World SuperYacht Award — Best

- 2007 Boat International World SuperYacht Award — Best
Sailing Yacht Interior
- 2006 Vela e Motore — Superyacht dell'anno 2006
- 2006 Yacht Capital BMW Award
Like all
of our superyacht models, this Maltese Falcon model has
the following qualities:
(very important), hollow hull construction, weighing less
than 10 lbs (A solid hull of this model would be over
40 lbs, requiring 2 people to handle and a fortified
table to accommodate.)
- The hollow superstructure is comprised of many
individual thin pieces of wood glued together, not
several solid pieces of wood stacking on top one
- Windows are cutouts (not black decals), thanks to the
hollow structures.
- >99% of parts are wood and metal.
37" long x 27" tall x 9.5" wide (including
base's dimensions)
SOLD OUT (only three
were made)

43 No-Cook Dinners You Can Make Without Turning On Your Stove
It's kind of hot outside.
12 No-Cook Meals To Feast On In The Summer Heat
When it feels so hot out that you could crack an egg — almost anywhere — and watch it quickly fry to a nice over-easy, who really wants to cook with a stove? No one! Here are a few delicious, easy recipes that don't require any heat whatsoever.


text: I am again at the beginning of anther crash and my husband took me to our local walk-in clinic (1 doctor and 1 nurse prac). We got there at 2:30 and because the little office was so hot and full of flue victims, my husband told the receptionist that we would wait in the car and gave her his cell # when it was our turn. The recpt. said there were 5 ahead of us and that she would get us when our turn came up. (I did NOT want to wait in the car because I was afraid we would get missed). Any way, an hour later and we still haven't been called, my DH asked how close we were to our turn and the lady said that there were only 3 ahead of us at that time. So we waited some more and I was really feeling sick from the long wait. Hubby went back in at 4:30 to check again and the recept apologised and said that the doctor left 30 minutes ago! I was sooooo pi**#^! If I had the strength and energy I would have gone back in and gave them the "what for"!. I told my hubby that I hoped he did but he said she was so aplolgetic that he didn't have the heart to. So as it stands, I have a 1:15 appt today and left some research copies of M.E. for the doctor to go over before I see her. I just wanted to vent a little since I didn't get to vent on the ones responsible yesterday...LOL.

The right bank slope of Dagangshan hydropower station in China has complex geological conditions and is subjected to high in situ stress. Notably, microseismic activities in the right bank slope occurred during reservoir impounding. This paper describes the microseismic monitoring technology, and three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis is used to explore the microseismic activities and damage mechanisms in the right bank slope during reservoir impounding. Based on data obtained from microseismic monitoring, a progressive microseismic damage model is proposed and implemented for 3D finite element analysis. The safety factor for the right bank slope after reservoir impoundment obtained from the 3D finite element analysis, which included the effects of progressive microseismic damage, was 1.10, indicating that the slope is stable. The microseismic monitoring system is able to capture the slope disturbance during reservoir impounding in real time and is a powerful tool for qualitatively assessing changes in slope stability over time. The proposed progressive microseismic damage model adequately simulates the changes in the slope during the impoundment process and provides a valuable tool for evaluating slope stability. © 2017 Springer-Verlag Wien

Wedding makeup: read my lips or look into my eyes?
As a general makeup rule, you should emphasise either your eyes or your lips, but not both. I liken it to the basic 'Rule of Thirds' in photography: by placing important elements in certain points of interest, you compose a balanced photo by enabling the viewer's eye to interact with the image more naturally.
In makeup 101, by understanding that the viewer's eyes should focus on just one bold detail, you compose a more balanced face. You therefore shouldn't confuse the viewer, in this case your groom and guests, by overcrowding your face with both bold eyes and lips.
Read my lips
If you have naturally full lips that would make Angelina Jolie jealous, then play it up with a bold lip colour. Most brides I work with really like the look of a classic red lipstick. Line your lips first with a lip liner, and then blend it well with your lipstick. You can also apply a shimmery colour in the middle of your lower lip to reflect just enough light for a photogenic, sultry pout. I highly suggest you choose a long-wearing lipstick; otherwise your lips will be left bare after a round of cheek kissing from table to table!
For your eyes to balance out a bold lip, you have a few good options. You can simply line just the upper eye lid and finish with voluminising mascara. A cat's eye usually works as well. If you really can't live without eye shadow, choose a light colour.
Say eye do
If you want your eyes to speak volumes, then best to lean on neutral colours for your lips. One wedding makeup muse to look up to is Olivia Palermo, who on her big day chose to focus on her smoky eyes and a well-defined brow, with individual false lashes placed at the corners to play up the drama. For her lips, she went for a natural pink-toned lipstick to keep the emphasis on her dramatic eyes.
With the right balance, you'll be sure to mesmerise your wedding guests with your best feature!

This invention relates to modules containing integrated circuits and in particular to insertable modules for interchangeably coupling integrated circuits to electronic apparatus.
In the prior art, interchangeable electronic functions are provided by permitting the user of an electronic apparatus to plug an integrated cicuit package into a socket or the like in the apparatus. This technique is disadvantageous in that frequent insertion and removal of the integrated circuit by an untrained user increases the chance of damage thereto. Also, it is difficult to insure that the integrated circuit is properly positioned within the apparatus so as to preclude damage to the electrical contacts and leads.
An interchangeable module for integrated circuits is disclosed in allowed copending U.S. Pat. No. 4,216,522. The integrated circuit is contained in a module, which is inserted into an apparatus such as an electronic calculator. The module is designed so that the electrical contacts in the module do not touch the electrical contacts in the calculator until the module is properly positioned in the calculator. The module is inserted into a special compartment designed to accomodate the module within the calculator.
It is one object of the present invention to provide inexpensive modules for integrated circuit systems.
It is another object to provide modules for integrated circuit systems which provide positive contact between the electrical contacts of the module and those of a printed circuit board of an electronic apparatus in which the module is inserted without the need for bonding electrical contacts to the printed circuit board of the apparatus.
It is yet another object to provide modules for integrated circuit systems which are installed in and removed from an electronic apparatus only after the battery power supply for the apparatus has been disconnected.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a module for an integrated circuit system which is substantially unsusceptible to touching and tampering. It is still a further object to provide a module for an integrated circuit system which prevents damage to the integrated circuit from the electric potential carried by a user.
These and other objects are accomplished in accordance with the present invention by providing a module completely enclosing an integrated circuit in a protective housing, preferably of plastic material. The housing provides an internal chamber in which an insulative substrate, such as a printed circuit board (PCB), is positioned. The integrated circuit is preferably enclosed in a standard insulative package with connection leads emanating therefrom. The packaged integrated circuit is mounted on the PCB and is electrically coupled via its connection leads to respective conductors on the PCB. Also mounted on the PCB and adjacent to an elongated narrow slot located in one side of the housing are a plurality of electrical contacts such as spring contacts, which are electrically coupled to the integrated circuit by means of the conductors on the PCB. When the module is inserted in an electronic apparatus, the edge connector of a corresponding printed circuit board (PCB) of the apparatus is urged into the slot and into engagement with the spring contacts of the module, thereby electrically connecting the integrated circuit to the electronic apparatus. This arrangement provides positive contact between the contacts in the module and the PCB edge connector.
The module is designed for insertion into and removal from the apparatus only after the batteries have been removed and thus power disconnected, thereby preventing electrical connection of the module with power on, which could damage the integrated circuit. When the module is installed in the apparatus, its electrical components are inaccessible and therefore not susceptible to accidental damage due to touching or tampering such as by a child user. The module, however, is easily removable when necessary.
In a preferred embodiment, the module is comprised of upper and lower housing members, which snap together to form a protective housing for the integrated circuit located therein. Located on a first side wall of the housing is a slot which extends along the entire length of the first side surface and inwardly along portions of first and second end walls parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the housing. Affixed to a second side wall oppositely positioned from the first side wall is an integral projection having a recessed portion therein whereby the module is engageable with a tool or other implement to facilitate installation in and removal from an electronic apparatus.
The module of the present invention is particularly well-suited for housing a read-only memory (ROM) for electronic learning aids such as the electronic spelling device described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 901,395, which is assigned to Texas Instruments Incorporated, assignee of the present invention. To insert the module into the electronic spelling device, the cover for the battery compartment and the batteries therein are first removed. Next, the module is inserted into the device by way of the compartment. The edge connector of the PCB in the electronic spelling device extends through the narrow slot in the housing and engages the spring contacts mounted therein to connect the ROM to the device. Finally, the batteries and compartment cover are replaced and the device is ready to operate.
Still further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description and claims when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1a is a bottom perspective view of the module of the present invention;
FIG. 1b is a top perspective view of the module;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the various components of the module of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the interior of the module of FIG. 1, with the upper portion of the casing removed;
FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of an electronic spelling device with the battery compartment cover removed, showing the installation of the module and the batteries in the device; and
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the interior of the module after the module has been inserted in an electronic apparatus.
Referring to FIGS. 1a and 1b, module 11 embodied in the present invention includes an essentially box-shaped housing, preferably of a plastic material. The housing is comprised of lower and upper housing members 23 and 24 (FIG. 3) having top and bottom major surfaces 12 and 13, respectively. Lower and upper housing members 23 and 24 are attached together by locking means 14 to form an internal chamber for housing an integrated circuit and/or other electronic components. The casing has two mutually parallel side walls 15 and 16, and two mutually parallel end walls 17 and 18, perpendicular to side walls 15 and 16. Extending along the entire length of side wall 15 and inwardly along portions of end walls 17 and 18 adjacent to side wall 15 is a relatively narrow elongated slot 21 which provides access by a PCB edge connector to the internal chamber. Side wall 16 has an integral projection 22 affixed thereto to facilitate insertion and extraction of the module by a tool or other implement and also to facilitate manual handling by a user.
The various components comprising module 11 are shown in FIG. 2. Positioned in lower housing member 23 is an insulative substrate 25, preferably a printed circuit board (PCB) with a plurality of electrical conductors (not shown) affixed thereto. Located on a major surface of substrate 25 are a first set of openings 26 and a second set of openings 27. An integrated circuit 28, preferably enclosed in an insulative integrated circuit package 29, has a plurality of connection leads 30 emanating therefrom for electrically connecting integrated circuit 28 to the electrical conductors on substrate 25. A plurality of electrical spring contacts 31 for receiving a PCB edge connector to electrically couple module 11 to an electronic apparatus are held together by insulative strip 32. Each spring contact 31 has a curved upper portion 33 for engaging a conductor of the PCB edge connector located in the electronic apparatus and a straight lower portion 34 emanating therefrom for connecting contacts 31 to respective conductors on substrate 25.
When substrate 25, integrated circuit 28 and spring contacts 31 are positioned within lower housing member 23, as shown in FIG. 3, upper housing member 24 is attached to lower housing member 23 to completely envelop integrated circuit 28 and spring contacts 21 and provide a protective housing. Integrated circuit 28 is not exposed to the exterior of the housing and is thus protected from physical and electrical damage. Lower housing member 23 includes a vertical tab member 35 on each end wall 36 which is inserted into a recess (not shown) within extension member 37 on end wall 38. Outwardly extending lip 39 on tab member 35 engages a ridge surface 40 within extension member 37 to hold lower housing member 23 and upper housing member 24 together in a snap-fit engagement. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, connection leads 30 extend through openings 26, thereby anchoring integrated circuit 28 to substrate 25. Connection leads 30 are electrically connected to selected electrical conductors on substrate 25. Similarly, straight lower portions 34 of electrical spring contacts 31 extend through openings 27 and are connected to selected conductors on substrate 25. The curved upper portions 33 of contacts 31 are positioned adjacent to elongated slot 21 (FIG. 1a), so as to permit access to spring contacts 31 from the exterior of the housing by a PCB in the electronic apparatus and yet still protect contacts 31 from touching and tampering by a user. Spring contacts 31 are electrically connected to integrated circuit 28 by means of the electrical conductors on substrate 25.
In a preferred embodiment, integrated circuit 28 is comprised of a CMOS chip such as a CMOS read-only memory (ROM) for an electronic spelling device such as described in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 901,395 referenced above. FIG. 4 shows the reverse side of electronic spelling device 41. A set of batteries 42 is normally installed in internal receptacle 43 to provide operating power for device 41. Unlike prior art insertable modules, module 11 is installed in device 41 via receptacle 43. An additional compartment to house module 11 is not needed. To install module 11, cover 45 and batteries 42 must first be removed from receptacle 43. The user holds extension member 22 (FIGS. 1a and 1b), inserts module 11 into receptacle 43 and pushes module 11 in the direction A--A', i.e. parallel to major surface 44 of device 41 until module 11 is properly positioned within device 41. When module 11 is properly positioned, the edge connector of PCB 51 extends through slot 21 and engages contacts 31 as shown in FIG. 5. Batteries 42 are then replaced and cover 45 is placed over receptacle 43 to protect the contents thereof. In a further feature, cover 45, when in place, exerts a biasing pressure against module 11 to insure module 11 stays in its proper position. When inserted in electronic spelling device 41, the ROM contained in module 11 provides 150 or more additional spelling words therefor. To remove module 11, cover 45 and batteries 42 are first removed. The user then engages a recess 46 (FIG. 1a) in extension member 22 with a tool or the like and pulls module 11 out of device 41.
The above described arrangements require batteries 42 to be removed and thus power disconnected before module 11 is installed or removed, thereby precluding possible damage to the electronic components thereof from connection or disconnection with power on.
FIG. 5 shows module 11 connected to printed PCB 51 of device 41. When installed, module 11 slides onto PCB 51, which extends through slot 21 and under spring contacts 31. Since slot 21 extends along portions of end walls 17 and 18, module 11 is connectable to a PCB which is of much larger dimensions than module 11. Contacts 31, which are comprised of tin oxide material in one embodiment, engage the edge connector (not shown) on PCB 51 directly to provide a wiping contact therebetween and electrically connect integrated circuit 28 to device 41. The more complicated and expensive technique of bonding electrical contacts such as gold material to PCB 51 to provide an electrical connection is not required. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that module 11 can be connected to PCB 51 in a variety of ways. For example, the edge connector of PCB 51 may be located on the reverse side of PCB 51, requiring PCB 51 to be positioned on top of contacts 31 in order to connect module 11 to device 41. In addition, the module 11 disclosed herein provides an inexpensive and easy way of connecting an integrated circuit to an electronic apparatus such as an electronic learning aid spelling device 41. An additional compartment within the apparatus is not required to house module 11. Furthermore, the electronic components contained in module 11 are relatively "child-proof" and unsusceptible to touching and tampering. Installation of module 11 necessitates power being first disconnected, which eliminates the chance of damaging integrated circuit 28.
Preferred embodiments of the module embodying the present invention have now been described in detail. Since it is obvious that many additional changes and modifications can be made in the above-described details without departing from the nature and spirit of the invention, it is understood that the invention is not to be limited to these details except as set forth in the appended claims.

How goes the old saw, something like "If (prophet name purposefully omitted) will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to (prophet name purposefully omitted)?"
(It'll be interesting to see if this writer's effigy gets burned just for the presumption of a name being there, donchathink?)
Deep in the gap between the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the upcoming Rolex Series second round at the Mar. 27-29 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Grand Prix of Miami, I couldn't wait any longer to feed the need and on Tuesday exchanged some mid-70s Florida temperatures for mid-30's Indianapolis weather - and loved darn near every minute of it.
Thus far.
Chip Ganassi Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, sportscar division, share the same Indianapolis digs, with the respective teams dedicated to the singular purpose of each other winning races. As history shows, they do it quite well.
1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 CART champions; 2000 Indy 500 winner; 2003 IRL Championship; 2004 Rolex Series Driving Championship; 2006 Rolex Series Team Championship; and, the 2006, 2007, 2008 Rolex 24 At Daytona winners.
Smack-dab in the middle of Ganassi's Indy facilities is a huge shop floor where Scott Dixon and Dan Wheldon's IndyCar rides sit alongside Scott Pruett's and Memo Rojas' two Lexus-powered Riley MkXX Daytona Prototypes (the team, true to the promise of the DP concept, have updated only to the MkXX bodywork, which the team will debut to the racing public Mar. 27 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in a Rolex Series practice session.)
Double-doors abound on the shop-floor's perimeter, each leading to other enclaves - from a gear room, to CNC and fabricating, to parts, paint shops and the transporter "enclave" (where four haulers sat today, sealed from the outside weather).
Each of the rooms contained busy souls who displayed the cool, confident (but not cocky) and, most evident of all, professional demeanor of winners.
The level of professionalism in that facility was just flat-out impressive.
Without taking exception to Pruett's talent - for it is considerable - with Ganassi's people it is little wonder why Pruett is the most successful Daytona Prototype pilot to date, holding records for total wins (15), total pole positions (21) and total podium finishes (35).
This writer has seen some mighty fine race car drivers over his five-decades of sportscar watching, but none are worth a darn unless the ride matches the talent in the seat. The same is true of the open-wheel side.
And the really neat (some might say "whacked-out") thing is the guys at Ganassi want their competitors to be at the same level - even if the Ganassi guys have got to help them get there.
Before providing this writer with his Tuesday-afternoon guided tour of the shop facilities (and the surrounding Indianapolis area, to boot), on Tuesday morning Ganassi Racing director Mike Hull had spent time at the former PKV, now just "KV" shop, helping bring that organization's team up to speed on the Dallara chassis it got from Ganassi so as to help facilitate its transition from Champ Car to the IndyCar Series.
Back in the Ganassi shop, this writer couldn't resist: "Tell me, Mike, what did you give them; a castaway?"
Hull didn't miss a beat before shooting back, "And what would that accomplish?"
"Not a darn thing," Hull quickly answered his own question.
"I can't speak for everyone else out there, but we don't see that there is anything for us to gain by giving them a bad car. If anything, we made sure they got the best we had.
"There's no value in their doing poorly because the chassis they've got isn't up to the task. They've already got a tall enough hill to climb without also having to deal with something that doesn't work in the first place.
"In the final analysis, we can only be proud of what we've accomplished if we've only also competed against the best. There's really no pride to be gained in beating someone who brings inferior equipment to the table in the first place. That's not what we're made of at Ganassi Racing."
Looking at Hull and each of the Ganassi guys, one just knows that's what they're all about.
Tuesday: Wayne Taylor Racing.

The Nutcracker
Based on a novel by 19th-century romantic fabulist E.T.A. Hoffman, The Nutcracker weaves a magical tale of holiday adventure around one of the most recognizable scores in the ballet repertoire. It begins when young Clara receives a nutcracker from her godfather, a wizardly toymaker named Drosselmeyer. Sneaking downstairs to see the toy after everyone else has gone to bed, she suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of a pitched battle between the toys and an army of mice. After saving the nutcracker with a well-thrown shoe to the Mouse King's head, Clara and her now-living prince venture into the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets to celebrate.
Throughout their adventures, Tchaikovsky's dazzling inventiveness propels the dances of nimble flowers and regal fairy queens. The "Waltz of the Snowflakes" floats weightlessly above the angelic voices of a youth choir, whereas the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" tiptoes to the haunting, music-box chimes of a celesta. A medley of exotic national dances—including a Spanish bolero and Russian Trepak—add to the phantasmagoric celebration before the whole dream ends, as all dreams must.
Roxey Ballet
Mark Roxey says his troupe is the biggest ballet company in the smallest city in the US. That wasn't exactly the plan in 1995 when he and his wife Melissa founded the Hunterdon Youth Ballet, but as the group evolved, so did their ambitions. They rechristened themselves the Roxey Ballet and grew into a professional touring outfit whose dancers have commanded international recognition and even performed at the inauguration of President Obama. Today, the troupe regularly revisits beloved ballets as well as lesser-known works, often featuring original choreography by Roxey himself.

Tannis Trydal
Certified DrawPj.com On-line Instructor
Location: Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada
About Tannis
Tannis Trydal is an award winning artist and dedicated art educator specializing in teaching absolute beginners to learn to draw. Drawing upon her wealth of knowledge and experience, she gently guides, encourages and motivates each of her students in their very personal journey. Tannis has successfully taught many people from around the world to learn to draw even though they previously believed that they couldn't learn.
Tannis regularly exhibits and sells her artworks and has been invited to participate in travelling exhibitions as well as curated gallery exhibitions. She was awarded first prize at the Beaverlodge Juried Art Show in 2010 and second prize at the PRCFA Juried Art Show at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery in 2016. Tannis draws in realism in graphite, coloured pencil and charcoal but she also likes to paint in acrylics in a more representational, expressive way. She is an active member of Artists North, Art of the Peace, and the Peace River Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Tannis fuels her creativity with adventure that comes with travelling and especially likes to hike to experience nature.
I loved the drawing course, and having Tannis for an instructor took it to the next level. She was so encouraging and I learned so much from her.
Her talent and expertise as an artist really shone through in the details of the critiques she gave me. Her comments were so valuable and really helped take my art to the next level. Her encouraging words and warmth were just what I needed to boost my confidence. I always looked forward to getting her emails!
Anytime I had a question she answered it thoroughly. I felt like she cared about me as a person and as an artist. I was so blessed to have Tannis for my instructor. There is nothing like having a professional walk you through a course like this. Especially someone as kind and uplifting as Tannis.
Every time I got her comments back it was like a light bulb coming on and I learned so much.Cassie Chancy - USA
Do you want to learn to draw? This course will definitely help you. I am glad that I have found this course. All instructions are very clear and easily understandable even if you are not native English speaker. Easy step by step exercises walk you through the basics to more challenging parts and it is up to you what time are you willing to spend on all these exercises. The detailed comments and advices which you receive from the instructor are helping you to improve your skills every day.
What I really love is the way Tannis, my personal instructor builds my confidence. She knows that constructive critique and positive motivation go hand in hand. I remember my weak steps at the beginning of the course, when I was afraid to put the pencil on blank sheet of paper. Now I am drawing almost every day! Drawing is now time when I can relax, when I feel free and the time when all everyday problems just disappear. I have learned to see the world with my eyes opened. Art can help you to feel like different person if you put your heart into it. Thanks to Tannis and the DrawPj team for all these new experiences.Darina Panisova - Slovakia
Tannis is the most wonderful and inspiring tutor. She always responds quickly and warmly with really positive and extremely constructive comments. For me, even though she is on the other side of the world, her friendly and encouraging feedback makes her seem like the instructor and teacher just down the road.
I feel so lucky that Cindy paired her with me because, incredibly, we just gel.
Tannis has guided me on my DrawPj journey, inspired me and given me the confidence to develop, grow and enjoy my meagre gift and talent. I have learnt so much during the past few years and look forward to continue to improve under her professional guidance and care.Catherine Melchers - New Zealand

A new research study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing indicates that children whom regularly eat breakfast had "significantly higher full scale, verbal, and performance IQ test scores." The researchers suggested that this may be the combined effect of the brain's fuel intake and the associated social interaction during this meal. The study was conducted on over 1250 Chinese children. Read more here
New research paper "Parent Praise to 1-3 Year Olds Predicts Children's Motivational Frameworks 5 years Later" from the University of Chicago highlights the importance of praising young children for their efforts, rather than just praising the child for their attributes. Those children who received 'process praise" such as "good idea" and "good effort" went on, five years later, to have more positive attitudes about their abilities to overcome problems and develop strategies.

A recent study of 840,000 children in California has indicated a significant rise, of 24%, in the number of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Dr. Darios Getahun, researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Medical Group, confirmed that the instances of ADHD in boys within the study was three times as high as in girls and that it was more prevalent in higher income families: although that this might be accounted for by greater parental interest in their school performance. Dr Benjamin Lahey of the University of Chicago suggests that the study is more...
The recent storms to hit the US are a reminder to think about the psychological consequences of natural disasters and how they effect children and families. Survivors tend to look for leadership and stability in the wake of this sort of shocking change to their environment. Children need to understand the event and be returned to a reassuring routine. Read more about disasters in the school context here Read more from the American Psychology Association
A recent study, by biomedical ethicist Dr Ilina Singh, asking children how they feel about ADHD and possible treatment has identified that the children feel that their medication helps them control their reactions and gives them time in which to think before acting. The children also said that they wanted additional treatment options, however: long waiting lists for children's behavioral treatments means that there is currently little alternative by rely on prescribing drug treatments. "One of the messages that children have is that they want more treatment options outside of medication,...
A recent Swedish study into yawning responses in dogs found that whilst older dogs tended to yawn and become tired, contagiously, when handlers yawned, puppies under seven months had no such response. This indicates that empathy in dogs does not develop until late in their 1st year. Children do not demonstrate the same response until around four years of age. Read more here
It has long been recognised that parents tend to exaggerate their children's intellectual, social and sporting abilities but a recent study indicated that parents are also inclined to see their children as less anxious and more optimistic than they really are. Kristin Lagattuta's research indicates that adult's interpretations of children's happiness can not be trusted but hopes that it will lead parents to be better attuned to their children's emotional difficulties.

The success of the simple puzzle game Tetris may be down to the brain's desire for tidiness. The Zeigarnik Effect, whereby unresolved problems stick in the mind, even if they are forgotten immediately afterwards, may hold the key to why so many millions of hours have been spent, across the globe on games like Tetris. The same phenomena can also be identified in the prolific expansion of online games such as the Sims: taking advantage of our natural desire to tidy up lose ends. Read more on the BBC here
We have all heard the legends of vampers, living for centuries on the blood of young women. Now, researchers form Stamford University have shown that not only can brain cell growth in old adults be promoted by the infusion of blood from adolescents, but that these changes are directly linked to improved memory and further tests have demonstrated improvement of recall in subjects. At the moment the tests have been restricted to mice but the medical and social impact of these results should be interesting. Read more here
Kevin Beaver of Florida State University has identified that three genes DAT1, DRD2 and DRD4 predict levels of academic achievement. So does this mean that we are soon to be condemned to a world in which our lives are determined at birth, populated by genetic elites and a DNA underclass? The vision of our future depicted in the 1997 film Gattaca (pictured) highlights the age old struggle between nature and nurture, predetermined potential and the benefits and disadvantages afforded to us by our environment. The 1994 book "The Bell Curve" argues for accepting the determinist view and...

Adrian Rehn
Adrian grew up in the rural Mendocino County redwoods and moved to Southern Oregon as a teenager. Fueled by an unconventional upbringing in the quirky 'State of Jefferson,' he departed for UC Davis to obtain his BA degree in Political Science/History in a mere three years. His academic focus was on comparative economics, land use policy and communications. As he spent more time hanging out in Sacramento, Adrian came to love his new urban lifestyle.
Adrian has contributed to numerous Valley Vision projects since coming on board in July 2014, but he spends most of his time coordinating CropMobster Sacramento, the AgPlus Consortium, USDA rural business workshops, the Cleaner Air Partnership, and Broadband initiatives. Adrian also serves as a communications/content marketing specialist and in-house graphic designer across Valley Vision's many projects. Between graduating in 2012 and joining the VV team, Adrian worked on various political campaigns, completed a marketing Fellowship with Net Impact, taught American Government classes to high school students in Poland, and authored a popular online socioeconomics column.
Growing up on ten acres of dense foliage honed his brush clearing and wood chopping skills, but Adrian also enjoys backpacking in the Sierras, filmmaking, 1980s horror movies, road tripping in his minivan, cooking/eating, comedy, hoppy beer, multi-day music festivals, writing, and talking to strangers. Living in Oregon made Adrian forever uncomfortable pumping his own gas.

I'm just wondering what it would take to put an odometer on my YZ426 for enduro use? The odometer/cable seems fairly straightforward but how does the cable attach to the front hub?
Does anybody know if it is simple part that I can buy or is the WR hub completely different from the YZ hub?

Day 447: The Imitation Game, etc.
We went over to Joe and Madhuri's again tonight to watch The Imitation Game, one of the awards contenders this year for movies. We've done this for the last three weekends. Quite like it. They live just down the street and around the corner from us, and it's always seemed a shame that we haven't taken advantage of that. Well, now we are!
Also, Joe and I discussed doing a podcast once a week during Baseball preseason about the A's. The blogging last year I just couldn't commit the resources to. The podcast…well, I can talk to Joe for an hour a week about the A's. Hell, let's be honest, I could talk to Joe for ten hours a week about the A's…but I do want to have a life. He was totally down with the idea. So yeah…Green Collar Podcast might be coming to a smartphone near you sometime very soon.
The Imitation Game was good, but not great. It really kind of fell apart in the end. The climax wasn't really handled very well at all, with him being arrested for homosexuality and all. The climax they really built into the movie, to be honest, was the successful breaking of the Nazi enigma code…and they did that well before the end of the movie. The matter of Alan Turing being gay and then disgraced for it really didn't even come up in the movie until forty minutes or so before the end…so for him then to be having this intense emotional scene later in life, well it just hadn't been properly set up and justified. There was no thread, no real through-line for the movie, and thus it didn't land in the way that it really should have. I mean, the man was undeniably a genius, and it's only been since 2013 that his achievements were finally fully made public and recognized. There's a really amazing story in there because it's true, and they really dropped the ball in executing it.
Now, all that said, it was still a fine movie. It's just not great. And it won't win any awards I don't think, not any big ones anyway. But, I do still recommend seeing it, it's a fine film and really interesting subject matter, it just wasn't particularly effective.
Felt a little better today, but still tried to take it easy. I'm going to bed tonight with plenty of medicine, and hopefully this cough stays away for good. I'm taking my allergy meds religiously, and that should help. I remain pretty well convinced that it's starting with allergies, and if I can stay on top of that, perhaps it won't progress to anything more serious.
I'm writing the entry tonight on my computer in the office. SO WEIRD. Doesn't feel quite right. In fact, I'm not nearly as quick typing on this keyboard now as I am typing on my iPad's slightly smaller modified keyboard. How crazy is that? I've just gotten used to it. I've been writing so much on it, you know.
Anywho, it's after midnight. Time for bed. And start reading my novel tonight, I think. I'll make edits as I go. Till tomorrow! Wish me health…

Another title for Sullivan
Joseph Sullivan's year of rowing success continued at Marlborough Lines Stadium tonight when he was named Marlborough Sportsperson of the Year for the third time.
Sullivan's win was arguably the easiest for the judges to decide on in the 46-year history of the award following his gold medal performance at the London Olympics in the double scull event with Nathan Cohen.
Not only is the Picton Rowing Club star Marlborough's most successful sportsman, he's also one of New Zealand's best, having won six successive world titles which include his win in London, two elite crowns and three under-23 gold medals.
More than 300 guests attended the awards dinner in Blenheim tonight, at which fullbore rifle shooter Sam Teeling won the most promising under-21 sportsman title and Black Sticks New Zealand women's hockey co-captain Kayla Sharland was guest speaker.

stone at its best. Because it is ultra hard and exceptionally tough it can
be cut into large flagstone sizes giving a room breadth and the feel of
luxury. These large panels are available in sizes up to 1100x450mm and only
10mm thick and are ideal for walls and floors.
The rock hard nature of this naturally quarried material gives the stone
real advantages not least its strength. It enables it to be cut to half the thickness of many marbles and limestones.
Being only half the thickness it is only half the weight and can therefore be used almost anywhere in the house even on suspended floors.
This ultra-hard material must not be confused with cheap, softer, low quality limestones and travertine offering poor durability.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Ranulph Fiennes has traveled to the most dangerous and inaccessible places on earth. In the process he nearly died on several occasions, lost nearly half his fingers to frostbite, and raised millions of pounds for charity. He discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the South Pole. He was the first man to reach both poles by surface travel and the first to cross the Antarctic Continent unsupported. In 1993, Her Majesty the Queen awarded him the Order of the British Empire for "human endeavor and charitable services." An elite soldier, an athlete, a mountaineer, and a renowned explorer, Fiennes describes here in his own words his incredible journey through life.
"[Ranulph's] book is not all about hairy-chested adventure: he also tells deeply movingly of his love for his first wife, Ginny, his childhood sweetheart . . . His courage, determination, stamina—and madness—are truly awesome." —Daily Express
