The Most Powerful Advertising Medium…Is In Your Pocket
At CellForce, we don't see a cell phone. We see the world's newest and most powerful advertising medium. After all, what else is in your pocket that has TV, radio, internet, e-mail, voice and text messaging?
No Limits
Traditional advertising relies on your customer being at the right place, at the right time. Mobile marketing has no time or location limits, because mobile phones are "always on" and "always on you."
Makes Traditional Media Interactive
Not only is mobile a standalone advertising medium, but using mobile with TV, radio, and print will increase your ROI.
Back To Basics
Effective marketing is all about being timely and relevant. Mobile marketing allows you to send a personalized message at the right time, with the right message.
It's Personal
Typically, cell phones are only used to communicate with family, friends and coworkers, combined with its physically in your pocket, makes mobile highly personal. This means that once the user invites you in, your message will not only be read, but highly anticipated.
The Results Are In
Response rates are averaging 12%, compared to 2% of traditional media. And some campaigns have been as high as 40%! This is largely due to the easy of entry that cell phones bring. No forms, waiting on hold, or trying to remember long URLs.
By The Numbers
53% (or 138 million) of all mobile subscribers text message
17% (or 43 million) of all mobile subscriber use the mobile web
More than 43% of consumers aged 18-44 text message
The average age of a texter is 38

Now the unit will only display "open" or "close" and all reset procedures seem useless. Unplugging the unit did nothing. Holding "Rewind" + "Pause" + "Eject" will get "Initialize" to display but does nothing to change the fact that all buttons other than an occasional success ejecting the tray. I can't even get the progressive scan button to go out. Any suggestions? Panasonic is closed until tomorrow. I'm getting very close to the 90 day period for repairs.

In a conversation with a friend, I was talking about a struggle I was trying to get past. This friend stated, "Jimmy, you hold on to everything. It's not particularly a bad thing, it's who you are." All I could do was shake my head in agreement and continue to listen. Then they asked me, "Have you ever asked God to take something away?" Whoa, my world was rocked. They continued by reminding me that some things are a gradual process. Some things don't happen over night. Heck, it took Moses forty years to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land.
I used to think there was something wrong with me. I've been to conferences like Promise Keepers where men are told to come forward and leave their sins and struggles at the feet of the cross. One year, while speaking at camp, I had a box for kids to put their "old self" and their personal battles in and we burned it in a bonfire at the end of the week. But my reality was that, in my own life, there were things that always returned. I was never able to figure out why. I often wondered if God was listening. I couldn't understand what I was doing wrong! But that night, when this wise friend spoke, it was like a flip switching in my brain. I've never had a broken bone but I have watched the healing of people who have. The break gets reset and then placed in a cast. Healing is a process. The cast isolates the break to keep it safe and allow the bone time to fuse. After time, and multiple check ups, the bone is reexamined and the cast can be removed. Often the area that had been broken ends up stronger and there is no visible sign of damage.
So what does that look like in my life? Here are four strategies I have developed over time:
- Seek the Healer. Just as we wouldn't duct tape a broken arm in hope of healing, we must begin by bringing our pain and struggles to God. He has the perfect prescription for us. Pray, ask Him what to do. Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 tells us to "Rejoice always, pray continuously, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
- Isolate the area. Ask God if there are places, people, or things that you need to avoid. If I had a weakness for donuts to the point that I couldn't pass one without devouring it, it wouldn't be wise for me to take the route to work that passes Dunkin' Donuts. The same goes when we are wrestling with sin. Stop revisiting the things you are trying to avoid.
- Surround yourself with wisdom. The world is full of people that will give you all kinds of advice. The key is to listen to people that are receiving wisdom from God. And occasionally, if you're as lucky as me, you'll have some true friends that will give you a swift kick in the butt when needed.
- Educate yourself. I have a friend who was told by his doctor that, if he didn't make major changes in his life, he would be diabetic. Instead of lying back and accepting the disease, he decided to fight. He read as many books and articles as possible about lifestyle change to combat diabetes. And he implemented the things he learned. Through eating right and exercise, he ended up losing thirty pounds and diabetes is no longer knocking at his door. We need to be vigilant in our fight against our enemy. The more we study the Word, the more we learn ways to combat the attack. God has filled the Bible with a battle plan. It's our job to learn how to fight.
Healing can be a process. Don't be discouraged. God has everything we need in His arsenal. And here's the coolest part of all: You have already been set free!
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. – Romans 6:18
I honestly don't remember exactly how long ago the afore mentioned conversation with my friend took place. But I can tell you that the day after it took place, I committed myself to praying that God remove my struggle. And the God heard my prayers. I stand here today as a testimony to the fact that God answers prayer. I am free!

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Cheyney University.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider Harford Community College science courses as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Jewell Pass Trail to Barrier Lake Lookout
Directions to trail head
Hike Description
From the parking lot, walk across the dam and follow the road. The trail leaves the road and turns up to the right. After 1.2 kilometers is waypoint #002 and the intersection of the Stony and Prairie View Trails. At this point by turning left towards the lake you will be on Stoney Trail which follows the lake shore for 2.5 kilometers. At waypoint #003 is the intersection with the Jewell Pass Trail. At this point you will begin to climb and cross the creek several times. After 1.2 kilometers, on the left side of the trail is the waterfall. The waterfall is in a nice sheltered spot. Below is a photo taken in the fall. The creek in the area has several bridges over it but in the fall it is almost dry. The creek and the waterfall are much more impressive in the spring.
After the waterfall you continue to hike up through the forest to waypoint #004 and then turn right on the Prairie View Trail. At waypoint #005 turn to the left to hike to the Barrier Lake Lookout.
If you would prefer to return to the parking lot via the Prairie View trail you can complete a loop and save a couple of kilometers. The hike would be 9.7 kilometers from the parking lot to the Barrier Lake lookout and then 5.9 from the Lookout back to the parking lot along the Prairie View Trail. Along this trail, is a second lookout over Barrier Lake.
The elevation profile below is for both the Jewell Pass Trail and the Prairie View Trail. The left side represents the profile for the Prairie View Trail, the left for the Jewell Pass Trail to the lookout. If you plan to do the circuit, head up Jewell Pass and down the Prairie View trail to spread the climb over a longer distance.

Using an Aeration Tank as a Bioscrubber for Odor and VOC Control
An odor and air emissions control and wastewater treatment system upgrade was developed at a facility that provides dewatering of liquid residuals. The treatment system upgrade uses existing tankage as a biological reactor for odor and air emissions control from the site's dewatering building and for reduction of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) that is currently discharged to the sewer. The aeration tank operates as a bioscrubber and removes contaminants from the building air through a combination of chemical and biological processes. Stack testing results indicated the system was effective at reducing emissions and that it complied with air permit limits for ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, VOCs and particulates. Odor modeling results indicate the dilution to threshold odor intensity (D/T) from the aeration tank for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide will be less than 5, thus obviating the need for additional controls.

I have habits I don't want to have. When I act by habit I feel a little ashamed deep down. When I don't I feel proud and happy. So when I'm not the person I want to be, I separate myself from who I am. There's who I believe I am and then there's the way that I am day to day. Today I started wondering if maybe I'm deluded. Why am I opposed to my body and the ways it's come up with to cope with stress and enjoy the sensory world? Maybe I'm like a child and I'm completely overreacting in an abusive way.
Ideally I want to be completely free of any and all addiction and fear. I'm not though, and so far I have no idea how to deal with that. Meditation clears my mind, stills my perspective and helps me look at things more objectively. I still can't figure out what to say though when I go on a date. If I'm not perfect, or if perfection is a process, what use is shame? What can it do except stress me out? And if I'm trying to not do something, I end up thinking more about it then if it didn't matter whether I did it or not.
I guess I'm gonna try to start enjoying my habits. Worrying about it makes me spend a lot of time feeling disconnected from myself.

Discussion in 'Trek Literature' started by JD, Feb 6, 2011.
Star Trek Online is a separate continuity from the regular books.
Does the DTI already have the ability to detect changes in their own timeline? Even with just 24th century technology.
See, that's the problem! If the DTI was doing its job, it would be on top of all of this.
That interpretation of Lucsly, "Dulmer" (as it was spelled there), and the DTI served Mike Martin's purposes for that particular book, but my purposes were served by going in an unrelated direction. There are no points of continuity between TNotM and DTI:WTC.
Did they? DTI is civilian. The 29th-century timeships are (or will be) Starfleet.
I can't explicitly address it, since the novel is told from the perspective of people in 2381-2, so they would have no way of knowing what would happen 5 years later, let alone what would happen in a separate timeline's past as a consequence of that future event. But once you've read the novel, you should be able to deduce why there's no need to "fix" anything involving that timeline, and why people in the Prime timeline wouldn't necessarily know it even exists.
In their own timeline, yes; see "Gods, Fate, and Fractals." But if a separate timeline branches off in parallel without affecting theirs, there's no reason they'd know about it.
How can the DTI tell if an incursion is going to affect their own timeline, or someone else's? Especially if someone from their own time is responsible?
Like they did in that Jean Claude van Damme Timecop movie.
Well, if it affects someone else's timeline, they won't know about it anyway, and it won't matter to them. Their job is to protect their timeline. Dealing with problems in an independent timeline is the responsibility of that timeline's version of the DTI or other temporal agency.
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up. Interesting to see just far their jurisdiction goes.
Is Daniels a future DTI agent, perhaps?
Daniels was referred to as a Temporal Agent working for the Federation. Whatever his agency's ancestry, it evidently doesn't have the same name as the DTI -- and has a much more activist approach to time.
I can't remember, did you or didn't you say that there is no time travel by the DTI? I've read some other stuff that seemed to assume that they did, but I think I remember you saying somewhere that they don't actually do any time traveling themselves.
Now I remember why the book's cover (which looks really good) seemed rather familiar...
I always interpreted it as a conflict between two powers far in the future, both subtly trying to manipulate different points in history to shape their present so that they come out on top without a shot fired between them in real time.
Oh, I got that - they just never seemed to have any driving purpose or REASON behind what they were doing. Didn't seem to be a whole lot of motivation. They just seemed to be shotgun blasting the past for some nebulous future reason. And wasn't shadow guy from the 26th century and Daniels from the 29th? How does a war even break out between centuries? There are just a lot of unexplained inconsistent things that really need a LOT of explaining for the TCW to make sense.
Which is what Christopher will try to do. When he gets all sciencey on a subject's ass, you know we're in for one hell of a good ride.
Eesh. So we've possibly got three different groups handling time crimes by the 31st century! (DTI, Starfleet timeships, Daniels' group) I wonder if they ever cross paths, or screw up each others' work?
I think Daniels might have been part of Starfleet's Temporal Intelligence division, unless Starfleet has become Timefleet by that time, who knows. DTI may not even exist in that time period if Starfleet is policing the timeline.
Well, the DTI's goal is to keep the timeline as pure and unaltered as possible, and actually travelling through time themselves would increase, rather than reduce, the risk of alterations. So it's not something they would do as a rule. And not necessarily something they could do reliably with the resources available in the 24th century. It's not as easy as it's sometimes been made to look, or else it'd already be routine.
We were introduced to at least four TCW factions in the course of ENT. There was Future Guy from the 28th century, the Federation Temporal Agents from the 31st century, the Sphere Builders from an extradimensional realm, and the Na'kuhl from the 29th century (aka the Space Nazis). And "Future Tense" implied that the Tholians were involved in the TCW as well -- perhaps simply as local proxies like the Suliban Cabal, the Xindi, and Archer, but perhaps as something more. And we've seen other time-travelling groups in other series that could potentially have been involved. For instance, in Howard Weinstein's TOS comics for DC, he established that Gary Seven's employers, whom he named the Aegis, were fighting to protect the timeline from disruption by other, more hostile factions. This was written ten years before ENT premiered, but it sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it? (Though it may have been inspired by the original pilot version of "Assignment: Earth," in which Gary would've been a time traveller battling shapeshifting Omegans who wanted to alter Earth history.)
Honestly, there never was a real purpose. The producers didn't even want to include time travel; UPN insisted because they were nervous about doing a straight-up prequel and wanted something that moved forward from the 24th century. So the time-travel elements didn't really arise from the producers' own plans or goals for the series, and thus it was kind of tacked on.
But that's the challenge, both for me as a writer and for the characters as investigators: figuring out what could tie all these seemingly random, unconnected temporal events together.
At least three groups, yes, but not necessarily contemporaneous. Still, with time travel, that doesn't mean they couldn't cross paths.
And the 29th-century timeships were working for the Temporal Integrity Commission. We know that much.
We don't have any clear indication that Daniels was in Starfleet, except in his cover identity.
Is it possible that the DTI became the Temporal Integrity Commission, and like the DTI perhaps using Starfleet for assistance, the TIC did as well with the Starfleet of their time?
Possible? Sure. Likely? Who knows?
It was pretty easy in the 23rd century, when Kirk went back in time for a Starfleet-ordered historical mission. Perhaps not routine, but it couldn't have been much of a problem. Kirk certainly abused the ease of time travel, anyway...he had, what, seventeen temporal violations?

Any Year Six teachers out there?(10 Posts)
I'm sitting here planning new curriculum Maths for the next six weeks.
Has anyone planned the Algebra units yet? There are the 4 objectives, but I am struggling to plan activities for them. The all seem to be 'algebra lite' - getting the children to use skills without actually explaining how the algebra works. There are 2 'algebra' questions in the Sample paper, but one is a 'working backwards' question using inverses and one is a trial and error search for 2 numbers.
I think I'm confused because for the last 3 years I've taught the Level 6 syllabus of explicit algebra skills, which is clearly NOT what is being called for now.
What's everyone else doing?
Year 6 teacher here. Can't help on that one specifically as I am not planning the maths (shared planning) so haven't looked at it yet but I may be able to get back to you next week once I've looked.
Generally though, how are you coping with these curriculum changes? I'm in a low income area state (our kids usually have to make huge amount of progress in Y6 to get near nat expectations but now it is even more of a push) and finding the coverage increase tricky. A lot more to get through as the year group jumped from old to new curriculum so lots of gaps. Used to revise L4 topics with many of them to get them their L4s but now having to teach all the old L5 standard.
I'm all for higher expectations but struggling with getting it all in and time to embed and push them up to the harder questions.
GPS is similar and we've been told writing deadline is earlier...
Current cohort is, shall we say, 'tricky'...
2 form entry, and I spent last year down in Year 5 trying to bring one of the classes up to expected level, and am now back in Year 6 with the other class. One benefit is that I replanned all the Year 5 Maths last year, so at least we don't have a hideous gap this year.
We have 65% EAL, so SPAG is a challenge.
For the writing, they have to show secure evidence of all the performance descriptors to be 'at' the ARE, so we are assessing every piece of independent writing to double check we've got evidence.
Our writing levels were moderated 3 years ago, so cross fingers that they won't come back to us this year.
I am spending far too much time replanning the (completely changed) history, science and geography, because I like it!
One more hour to finish 'Circulation', then off to a party!
No longer a year 6 teacher - safely in year 1 dealing with addition and subtraction to 20! But I am Maths Leader and did MaST. There are two resources I've shared with staff that year 6 have told me are really, really useful - the White Rose Maths Hub schemes of learning www.dropbox.com/sh/m8cffya8voqqgg1/AAANai1CLUB0AKVs9wBVuElza?dl=0 as they have fluency/reasoning/problem solving sample questions for each objective. Great for pitch and expectation, and our year 6 teacher is planning whole lessons round these. The other really useful one is the NCETM assessment for mastery stuff www.ncetm.org.uk/resources/46689 (If you're not already registered then you'll have to to access them, but it's free).
And if you haven't already seen it, then this site sites.google.com/a/aetinet.org/aet-mathematics/home/page-number-2/curriculum-design has resources for year 6 to practice for the arithmetic test - about 1/2 way down on the right.
Good luck - I certainly don't envy you trying to bridge the gap between the new and old curriculums!
Watching with interest. Not a teacher, just a home ed mum, but doing yr 6!
Oh god, I am a Y6 teacher and already the icy fingers of panic are starting to creep up my spine. I sweat blood planning exciting and engaging lessons to generate good writing, have spent hours teaching approaches to reading / trying to cover the SPAG curriculum / developing 'mastery' approaches for maths....and I still don't think we're anywhere near covering everything.
Some of the writing objectives are so unbelievably vague and/or pointless. (eg. Why is there so much emphasis weighted towards using semi-colons???! Does this REALLY make writing good?)
This is my 3rd year in Y6 and just at the point where I knew what I was doing, the rug got pulled and I've fallen down the SATS rabbit hole.
It's just like climbing a mountain where you can't see the top. Or indeed, know if there is one!! And having pointless hurdles to climb on the way...
Anyone else feel like this?!!
Oh my goodness, have you seen this:
May I ask a question?
If a y6 DC (mine) is not at the 'working towards' y6 standard, then what kind of 'standard/level' will they be given?
They will be classed as "Pre Key Stage 2" and will be assessed against the same criteria as year 2 children. This will also apply to those children with dyslexia who cannot spell most of the year 3/4 words and so cannot be assessed as "working towards".
We estimate that the "working towards" level ROUGHLY equates to an old level 4c and the "working at" is roughly a 4a/5c. We can only say roughly because the two systems are measuring two entirely different things. With the old curriculum, children were assessed on creativity and imagination in conjunction with the more technical aspects of spelling and grammar. The new curriculum puts the emphasis firmly on the technical aspects of grammar and transcription ( spelling and handwriting) and creativity and imagination has to firmly take a back seat.
Thank you.

More than 15,000 gay and lesbian couples have wed since same-sex marriage became legal, new figures reveal.
There were 7,366 ceremonies in which those not already in a civil partnership tied the knot in the 15 months after the law was introduced in March last year.
Of those, 55% were between female couples and 45% male, the official data showed.
In addition, there were 7,732 couples who chose to convert an existing civil partnership into a marriage between December, when they could first do so, and June.
The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act was introduced in England and Wales on March 29 last year, with the first ceremonies taking place moments after midnight.
Figures covering the period from that date until the end of June this year were published today by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
They showed that the number of same-sex marriages peaked at 844 in August last year.
"Historically the most popular time for marriages to take place is during the summer months, with ceremonies being less popular in winter," the ONS said.
"Marriages of same-sex couples are following this seasonal pattern."
The majority of those who wed a partner of the same gender had never been married or in a civil partnership before.
However, just over 14% of women and 8% of men had been divorced.
The ONS said: "The majority, if not all of these previous marriages, will have been with a partner of the opposite sex."
The average age at marriage for same-sex couples was 40 years for men compared with 37 years for women.
The figures also showed that fewer couples are entering into civil partnerships since the law was brought in.

POWDER SUPPLY CONSTRUCTION FOR SPRAY TORCH Filed May 24. 1966 @15 0 INVENTOR 6W (x. \Mvm.
United States Patent 3,415,450 POWDER SUPPLY CONSTRUCTION FOR SPRAY TORCH Elwin A. Hawk, Sr., East Rochester, Ohio, assignor to Coast Metals, Inc., Little Ferry, NJ., a corporation of Delaware Filed May 24, 1966, Ser. No. 552,623 9 Claims. (Cl. 239-85) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This is a spray torch for applying powdered hard-surfacing material to the heated surface of a work piece. The powdered metal is in a container on the torch, or at a location where it is connected with the torch by a flexible tube, and the container is higher than the torch with a loop in the passage through which the powder flows to the torch. This loop prevents free flow by gravity when no powder flow is wanted. A controlled gas flow through the powder passage, including the loop, is used to carry the .powder around the loop to obtain powder flow to the torch. The gas is preferably one of the gases used for spraying the torch.
Brief description 0 the invention This invention relates to torches and powder containers for supplying powder to the torch for discharge with the flame jets of the torch against a work piece on which the powdered material is to be applied as a surface. The invention is intended primarily for torches where the powder is fed into the interior of the torch for discharge through the flame jet orifices of the torch tip; but the broader aspects of the invention are applicable to torches which have the powder discharged into the burning gas streams of the torch beyond the tip face.
One type of torch has a hopper carried by the torch body and this provides an easily portable arrangement. The powder is fed by gravity, usually with some assistance from an aspirator in the torch, and the flow is influenced by changes in the orientation of the torch, since this changes the position of the hopper. Another combination employs a powder holder at a fixed location, for example on a wall, with a flexible tube connecting the powder holder with the torch. Feed of the powder with this arrangement is also influenced by movement of the torch into different positions with respect to the stationary powder holder.
It is an object of this invention to provide improved means for supplying powder from a holder to a torch and to obtain a powder feed that is substantially independent of the orientation of the torch for changes in the position of the torch with respect to a powder holder at a fixed location.
Another object is to provide a powder holder with a delivery conduit located in the holder itself and into which powder will fall regardless of the orientation of the powder holder or the torch, and to control the delivery of the powder through the conduit by means of a carrier gas stream.
Still another object is to control the delivery of powder to a torch without the use of any valve in the powder passage. In the preferred embodiment of the invention this result is attained by having a loop in the powder delivery passage between the powder inlet and the powder discharge end of the passage so that for any orientation of the powder holder, there is always some part of the passage that is higher than another part to stop gravity flow of powder.
Other objects, features and advantage of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.
Brief description of the drawings In the drawing, forming a part hereof, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views:
FIGURE 1 is a diagrammatic view, mostly in section, showing a torch with a hopper carried by the torch body and having a powder feed made in accordance with this invention;
FIGURE 2 is a greatly enlarged sectional view on the line 2-2 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 20! is a sectional view taken on the line 2a-2a of FIGURE 2; and
FIGURE 3 is a diagrammatic view showing a modified form of the invention when used with a powder container supported at a fixed location.
Description of the preferred embodiments The torch shown in FIGURE 1 includes a body 12 having a tip 14 connected to its forward end by a tip nut 16 which screws over threads 18 on the front end of the body 12.
The body 12 has an extension 2-4 screwed into a counterbore 26 at the back of the body. A hopper 30 has a threaded lower end 32 that screws into another socket 34 in the top of the body 12. This hopper holds powder 36 which is fed into the torch in a manner which will be explained.
Within the body 12 there is a center passage 40 for oxygen or other combustion-supporting gas. There is another passage 42 for fuel gas. The oxygen passage 40 discharges through a nozzle 50 of an aspirator.
This nozzle 50 is surrounded by an annular space into which a powder passage 52 opens. The powder passage extends through the upper part of the body 12 and through an opening in an element 53. Flow of oxygen from the nozzle 50 creates a partial vacuum in the annular space around the nozzle 50 and thus produces a suction on the powder passage 52.
There is a sloping passageway 72 leading from the fuel gas passage 42 into the center oxygen passage 40. This sloping passageway 72 converges with the passage 40 in the direction of the gas fiow through the center passage, and fuel gas from the passage 42 flows into the center passage of the mixer through the sloping passageways 72 to exert an aspirator action which produces a partial vacuum in the center passage if there is no oxygen being supplied to the center passage. If oxygen is flowing in the center passage, then the action of the fuel gas jets flowing through the sloping passageway 72 is to increase the oxygen flow.
Beyond the sloping passageway 72 the gases enter a space which serves as a mixing chamber 78 and the gases flow with sufficient turbulence to insure thorough mixing as they travel through the chamber 781 and through the tip 14 on their way to a tip face (FIGURE 3) from which they are discharged through one or more orifices in the usual way.
The oxygen and fuel gas are supplied to the torch through hoses 79 and 80, respectively; and the flow of the gases into the torch is controlled by valves 79a and 80a which are preferably adjusted to obtain a carburizing flame for preheating. When the powder is supplied in an oxygen stream as the carrier, the added oxygen produces a neutral flame.
The mixer element 53 and tip 14 have sealing rings 84 and 86, preferably O-rings, for preventing leakage of gases within the torch. Since the fuel gas is turned on first, the aspirator action of the sloping passageways 72 prevents any fuel gas from flowing back into the oxygen passage or into the powder passage during normal operation of the torch. When the oxygen is turned on, the aspirator nozzle 50 creates a suction which further prevents any flow of gases in the torch back into the powder passage 52 of the hopper.
The hopper 30 contains a tube 90 which has its lower end secured in the discharge end of the hopper in position to deliver powder 36 into the powder passage 52. This tube 90 extends upwardly in the hopper 30 and has a loop section 92 beyond which the tube 90 extends through an opening 94 in a side wall of the hopper 30 at a substantial distance below the top of the hopper. The drawing shows the tube 90 secured to the hopper wall by solder 96 which is merely representative of a connection between the tube and the side wall of the hopper.
Near the opening 94 there is an opening or orifice 98 in the wall of the tube 90, and this orifice 98 is large enough to permit powder to fall into the tube 90 by gravity. In order always to have an orifice 98 in position for free flow of powder by gravity into the tube, regardless of the orientation of the hopper, there are four orifices 98 located at equally angular spacing around the circumference of the tube, as shown in FIGURE 2.
Gravity flow of powder into the orifices 98 is not relied upon to control the rate of powder supply, however, and there is a partition 99 (FIG. 2a) in the tube 90 on the upstream side of the orifices 98. A short tube 101 extends through the partition 99 to a region just beyond the orifices 98. Flow of gas from the tube 101 exerts an aspirator action that draws powder into the tube 90 through the orifices 98.
The upstream end of the tube 90, after it extends through the opening 94 in the wall of the hopper, passes rearwardly on the torch to a connection where it communicates with an oxygen discharge port preferably supplied with oxygen from the same source that supplies oxygen to the center passage 40. This control is similar to that shown in FIGURE 3 where a tube 124 corresponds to the tube 90 of FIGURE 1. This connection 100 communicates with the oxygen passage 40 of the torch through a port commanded by a valve designated generally by the reference character 104 and operated by a handle 105. When this valve 104 is open, oxygen flows through the tube 124; and in the case of FIGURE 1, through the tube 90 to carry powder from the orifices 98 through the tube 90 to the powder passage 52.
The tube 90 preferably has another loop 106 on the upstream side of the orifice 98 so that powder cannot flow back from the hopper into the portion of the tube 90 which leads to the oxygen supply passage. The loop 92 prevents powder from flowing by gravity from the orifice 98 to the powder passage 52. Although a bend in the tube 90, to create a portion higher than the orifice 98, would prevent flow of powder by gravity beyond the bend, it is advantageous to have a complete loop at the bend because with a loop, there is always some part of the loop which is higher (regardless of orientation) than another part of the tube nearer to the orifices 98 and which will, therefore, prevent gravity flow of powder.
FIGURE 3 shows a modified construction in which a powder container 120 is mounted at a fixed location by a bracket 122. There is a tube 124 in the powder container 120. This tube 124 could extend through the bottom of the container as in FIGURE 1 but in the FIGURE 3 construction the tube'124 has its downstream end extend through an opening 126 in the wall of the container, and has its upstream end extend through a similar opening 128 in the wall on the opposite side of the powder container 120.
There are orifices 130 in the tube 124 corresponding to the orifices 98 shown in FIGURE 2. The upstream end of the tube 124 is connected to an oxygen supply port, which may be the port 102 on the torch. It will be understood that the oxygen may be supplied from other sources but it is convenient to have the valve which controls the powder-carrying gas located on the handle of the torch.
The downstream side of the tube 124 is bent to form a loop 134 and there is a flexible hose 136 leading from the loop 134 to the powder passage in the torch which may be the same as the construction described in FIG- URE 1.
The powder container in FIGURE 3 is of relatively small capacity, and is constructed with a threaded opening 140 at its upper end. A powder bottle 144 is screwed into the threaded opening 140 and this supplies a substantial quantity of powder to the container120. When the bottle 144 is empty, it can be replaced by another similar bottle, and there is enough powder in the container 120 to permit continuous operation of the torch while powder bottles are being changed.
A small tube 148 leads from the tube 124 upward through the opening 140 to a location near the top of the inside of the powder bottle 144 and gas flows up through the tube 148 to equalize the pressure above the powder 36 in the bottle 144 and container 120. With fluify powders, the tube 148 is unnecessary since gas from the orifices 130 permeates up through the powder to maintain equalization of the pressure in the powder container and the bottle. There is a valve 150 in the tube 148. This valve is adjustable as a further control on the rate of feed of the powder 36 from the bottle 144 and container 120.
The preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, but changes and modifications can be made and some features can be used in different combinations without departing from the invention as defined in the claims.

Debutant Shingirai Masakadza took two wickets in the final over to help Zimbabwe to a two-run victory over the West Indies in the first one-day cricket international in Guyana.
The West Indies, chasing 255 for victory, needed 15 off the final over with three wickets in hand but Masakadza bowled Dwayne Smith (4) and Sulieman Benn was caught at midwicket next ball.
With the hosts requiring four off the final ball, Masakadza bowled a yorker to Kemar Roach who could only pick up a single to give Zimbabwe a 1-nil lead in the five-match series.
The West Indies run chase got off to a good start with captain Chris Gayle (57) and Adrian Barath (50) striking up a 99-run opening partnership before four wickets fell for 66 runs.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul steadied the West Indies and put them within sight of victory with a quick-fire 70 before being caught off the bowling of Masakadza, younger brother of Zimbabwe opener Hamilton.
Zimbabwe's Vusi Sibanda fell five runs short of his century in 162-ball innings that included five fours and a six as the visitors reached 254 for five in their 50 overs.
The second ODI is in Guyana on Sunday.

While Ebola is making daily headlines, the average American is at far greater risk of contracting several infectious diseases. With cold and flu season about to begin, how do you keep you and your family free of illness?
Late last week The News Tribune interviewed Dr. Paul Pottinger for tips on disease prevention. Pottinger is an associate professor in the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine and directs a program that educates and helps other doctors with optimizing antibiotic use.
The News Tribune met him in the lobby of the UW Medical Center in Seattle.
Reporter: You are shaking my hand, but you don't know where it's been.
Pottinger: All I need to know is that you have probably touched something I haven't. So, that's why I have this. (He pulls out a small bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer and rubs his hands with it.)
Reporter and doctor then head to a medical center deli to buy sandwiches. Dollar bills and coins are exchanged with cashier. Reporter and doctor sit down for interview.
Answer: This hospital is ready. Harborview is ready. We're putting in a lot of time and effort to prepare for Ebola so everyone can relax. The general public has other things to worry about.
A: I traded money with the woman behind the counter. Money is a classic way to catch infections, as it goes from hand to hand.
A: After you've used the toilet and before you eat. I'm about to put this sandwich in my gullet. Whatever I've touched is about to go straight into my system. So with that money — the coins, the bills — I'm basically eating what came off of those. And that's totally fine.
A: Because we all have an immune system. We have a series of defenses against the germs out there. We can neutralize most of them.
A: Constantly. But if you became focused on this, you'd never leave the house. There are some easy things to do to stay healthy.
A: I'm pretty typical. I get one or two colds a year and one GI (gastrointestinal infection) — nausea, vomiting.
A: Influenza. There's still so much we don't know. It's a germ that can change quickly. We need to stay ahead of it.
A: The biggest thing I hear is that it gives them the flu. The truth is they should have gotten it a few weeks earlier. Sore shoulder? Yes. Low-grade fever? Not uncommon. But that's all good. It tells you that you are mounting an immunological response. There's nothing alive in the injection. You can't catch something from something that's not alive.
The other reason I get is because they've never gotten the flu. Why should I get this shot?
First, it only takes one episode to ruin your whole week and, No. 2, people do get mild influenza infections but they perceive it to be a cold. But they can still spread that to others. And those folks can get critically ill. Something like 30,000 Americans will die this year from the influenza.
A: The "high-touch" surfaces — a door knob, mouse, keypad. By far the biggest high-touch surface is your cellphone. If it's your own germs, it's fine. But if you're using a public keyboard — that and the bathroom toilet handle are probably the two most germy spots you can think of.
A: I'm not worried about the air quality. Although some germs you can get by breathing the air, that's relatively uncommon. The reason people may get sick on a plane is because of what they touch: the armrest, the handle in the lav. I'm just careful with my hand hygiene before I eat and after I use the lav.
A: There's a lot of confusion about that. Hand cleaners come in two families. There's anti-bacterial chemicals and medications. The classic is called chlorhexidine. It's our surgical scrub. That stuff does not belong at home. It's in Dial anti-bacterial soap and other products you can buy. They have never been proven to be beneficial. Plain soap and water is always the way to go.
This, however (he holds up hand sanitizer), is different. This is ethyl, or isopropyl alcohol. The germs basically cannot get resistant to this because they are killed on contact. This stuff is fine — all day and all night.
A: If I'm not mistaken, according to studies, the heaviest bacterial load in the whole kitchen is that (kitchen) sponge. Anything that's wet. Life loves moisture. In my house the kitchen sponge has a one-week life span because of this issue.
A: First, I like to give people warning. Then the best thing is use the crook of your elbow, sneeze into your sleeve. If you sneeze into your hand, you just made your hand contagious. Even if you have a hanky it's hard to keep that off of your hand. If you sneeze into your elbow, very few people interact with their elbow.
A: That's a good way to think of it. Basically, you don't want to touch your face. Every time that happens it's an opportunity to get sick. (The face) is where the mucus membranes are and where germs are so happy to get into your system.
A: Colds are caused by viruses. Your environmental exposure should not affect that. In the tropics you can still get a cold.
A: Yes, zinc. Those zinc lozenges or syrup. That's proven in a number of studies to reduce the duration of a cold by a day.
A: It's just vitamin C.
A: The criteria for reintegrating into society should be no fever for at least a day and you should have control of your secretions. If you're still sneezing and dribbling, then everything you touch is going to have billions and jazillions (of germs) and they're going to make somebody else sick.
A: Different studies come to different conclusions. If it's the bathroom floor at Grand Central Station, I would leave it where it lay. If it's your own kitchen and there are no strangers coming in and it's clean, it's probably OK.
A: Oh, yes. It'll have germs on it. If you take a bite of that, you're eating germs. But that's fine. We eat germs every day. We couldn't live without them. There's more of them in and on us than there are cells of us. And that's OK. Unless they're bad germs. Or you have a poor immune system. In my house the three-second rule is totally fine.
A: I don't think there's any medical benefit to paper or cloth masks in terms of reducing infection risk. Most germs do not fly into your mouth or nose. And if they're small enough to do that, they would just go right around those masks.
I worry that the masks are irritating and make people touch their faces more — which, ironically, makes things worse.
A: Adults should work with their primary care doctors to make sure they're up to date. Pneumococcus, pertussis, tetanus. (Aside from international travelers) most folks just need seasonal flu.
And if you're afraid of needles, we have a spray. We have egg-free versions, mercury-free. According to the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), everybody over the age of 6 months should have a flu shot every year. That's almost without exception.
A: It's sometimes called the hygiene hypothesis of infectious diseases. (The ideas is) we have these very advanced, well-tuned immune systems looking for something to do. And if there's nothing to do, they turn on themselves. The link to that hygiene hypothesis is very weak scientifically. It sounds a little too easy to be true, and it probably is.
A: I'll tell you what keeps me up at night: Bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics that should treat them. That's my job. But I think that's what we as a society should be worried about. It has implications for every person.
A: They are an important family of germs because they can cause a whole range of sicknesses. Not only respiratory but skin, GI and soft tissue problems. Any part of the body can get these infections. And we have this whole class of drugs — the antibiotics — that should be able to treat them. Well, they evolved. Charles Darwin was right. The more you put a selective pressure on a population, the sooner it evolves to survive.
A: In the United States we use them two ways: for people and for animals. I'm part of a group that says we should stop using antibiotics in animals. At least in the so-called prevention of disease and for growth enhancement.
A: What I worry about is people who are getting sick and seeing their doctor for antibiotics when they don't need it.
A: On occasion you'll have bacterial sinusitis where they need antibiotics. And sometimes there's diagnostic uncertainty. There could be a bacterial component. But 95 percent of the time the patient has a viral process and bacterial infection is not the issue and you don't need antibiotics.
A: Because health care is a business. If you have taken time off from work, driven through the rain, paid for parking and seen that doctor, you want to get something for that investment.
The patient will say, "Give me antibiotics. I have to get back to work. I've got to get ahead of this." That's a hard emotional thing for us doctors to cope with.
We want our patients to be happy. If they're happy, they'll come back. They'll get their diabetes under control, lose weight, quit smoking. I want a healthy patient. But if they get upset with me because I won't give them antibiotics, I'll never see them again.
A: Think about what it must take to have that same conversation, that same fight with patients. I did primary care for four years when I was training. I can tell you: It's exhausting.

Ranting #1Apr. 16th, 2016 07:13 pm
I have been realizing I have too much regrets in my life. I have always wondered how do I change my way of life and live a life without regrets at all. Everything I do ends me up with this thick lump of regret deep in my heart, its like carved deeply in there.
This morning i woke up with so much excitedness and with so much expectations hoping this day would be the best one I would ever have, just because it would be the first time I would be going to this mall, we call mid valley. I mean the place is amazing and I thought I was sure to enhoy it. I went there with my brothers and my mother. I thought "ahh finally we have some bonding time." I was extremely excited with everything. My brothers who are usually just interested in their lives decided to go out and also to a real huge and amazing mall. The main purpose was that my elder brother wanted to buy a headphone with the money he recieved on his birthday. Everyone except my younger brother was hyped up, since he was awake the whole night watching some american series or youtube on his phone resulting in him sleeping for only 3 hours.
It was fun the whole time while we were walking and the place was really pretty. So we ended up buying my the headphone my brother wanted. and we saw a shop with candies i have always craved for and i told my family. Well the unfortunate part was that i had no money on me since all my money was spent in things i buy for fangirling. I then asked my brother to lend me some money and told him i will pay him back when i do. And he told me that i just tell my mother what i want and she will buy. However what he doesnt understand is that i have issues asking my parents for anything I want. Especially my mother, everything that i want to buy and tell her, she might as well buy it and when i do get it, because of personal reasons which leads my dad to talk about topics my mother thinks of unpleasantly and when she doesnt respond well enough, my father ends up in a bad mood and to avoid that my mother would think up of random topics to talk about with my father in which the topic is mostly about me. Well mostly because I am the only one in the family who is absorbed so much in everything about japan and about 90% if the things i would like to buy has something to do with japan, be it be food or things i want to wear or use, my decision always ends up with whether it is Japanese or not. Its quite a biased opinion, i know but I cant help it. And everytime I am desperate and tells my mom about it, she will tell my dad and my dad being my dad, a casual pakistani, he would be like why does she let me buy useless things/ food that looks horrible ( it was what he said when she sent a picture of takoyaki i bought with yakisoba) and he would ban me from buying it. I mean my mother cant help be a busybody when it comes to me. well so basically my brother doesnt understand that and when i am wandering around i see a pet shop and i went to enter it! Pet shops are amazing I swear and then like i keep getting attracted to each and everyone of them. And well after I came out if the pet shop I was in a bubbly mood but my younger brother misunderstood it to be in a bad mood. He told me, he never slept and he wants to sleep too and he doesnt know why i am in a bad mood and that caused me to actually end up in a bad mood. And so while we were walking my brother stopped at the watch shop and I jokingly said that he doesnt even look at the time and he took it seriously and end up scolding me. And he says he is hungry and want to eat so i tell him to go eat and he thought i was being sarcastic and asked me why i am so moody. Its amazing how my brothers, my own brothers dont know me well enough and well i wasnt kidding when u said he should go eat. if he is hungry he should. I was holding a tantrum cuz i have nothing to do there. I mean its pointless being in a mall when i dont have money. Yet there were so many things i wanted from there. Obviously i didnt want to be in debt. So my brother asked us if we wanted to eat anything and i said i would eat from anywhere he does but my younger brother was like "dont ask her, its pointless. She have too much action. Leave her alone. " and then he said lets go home. That triggered my brother's mood and and ge ended up saying " Ok we go home" then he goes and complain about me so i was like "wow complaining about me" and he says "then i should complain about whoelse." And after that he talks about why he hates coming shopping with me and kept saying things. At that moment when we were in the carpark, i felt like i wanted to get hit buy a car. Unfortunately it didnt happen and we ended up in the car where i put my music to full volume and let out my tears. Right then the rain started and u felt like jumping out of the car and get hit but due ti my stupidity of leaning on the door my mother told my brother to lock it. somehow i kept getting depressing thoughts and well soon after we ended up in Aeon, another mall, here where I live. Well i am here now and well as i am damn stubborn i have decided on that i wouldnt eat and i am not! Well thats it. I seriously feel that i would have been better off dying rather than be here with my family who claims to know everything about me yet know nothing. I am just gna be in this mall with my eyes on my phone. bye bye~

Charlie Hebdo cover sparks angry protests
Muslims in countries across the world are continuing to voice their anger over the publication of images of the Prophet Muhammad by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Churches were attacked in a second day of protests in Niger, with demonstrations also held in Pakistan and the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
Pakistan's interior minister compared the actions of those who published images offensive to Islam to those of "terrorists".

Get the facts about Northeastern State University nursing jobs, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Whether you are considering an associates degree (CNA, LVN, or LPN), or a bachelor of science in nursing (RN), you will find many doors opening after graduation. Concentrating on Northeastern State University nursing jobs, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the nursing department for course registration deadlines, and nursing jobs program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northeastern State University.
Healthcare jobs such as Registered Nurses, LPN's, LVN's and related Vocational Technicians provide over 15 million jobs in the United States alone. Most healthcare workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, such as health technologists and technicians, electronic medical records specialists, medical insurance billing, health information technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, and medical insurance billing. Founded in 1898, the American Hospital Association provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends.
The outlook for technical medical careers is especially bright. Opportunities for employment for medical laboratory technicians are expected to increase by 10% to 20% in the next eight years. The increasing number of elderly people is seen as a factor in this growth. As people age they have more medical problems, and hospitals will require more laboratory technicians to perform lab work for them. Aside from a good salary, most medical personnel receive comprehensive medical and dental benefits, as well as retirement plans. Beyond major requirements within the nursing department, you may consider Bismarck State College pharmacy courses online as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Erica's Friday Playlist: 5/19/17
May 19, 2017
Filed under Columns
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
"Who Are You Now" by Sleeping With Sirens
The lead singer, Kellin Quinn, briefly explained how this song is the "theme" of the album. Throughout the song, Kellin states basically that he knows what you're going through because he has had those hard days too and you aren't alone. He wants people to know they are alone in what they're going through. No matter how corny the meaning of this song might be it's still one of my all time favorites and it always will be.
"Next To You" by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber
This is one of those songs that i can proudly call it "old but gold" because this song is honestly such a well written song. I don't like these two artists at all but for some reason when you mash their voices together in a song it just sounds brilliant. The two guys in this song explain how they will never leave the person they're with right now. They will never leave them or betray them because that person means the world to them. I don't know why, but this has been a favorite for years.
"All Signs Point to Lauderdale" by A Day To Remember
This song is a more negative one. This song talks about hating the town you're in because nothing goes your way and you constantly have bad luck all of the time and it just sucks because you think, "today's going to be a good day" and then it gets worse and worse as it goes on and after awhile you start to believe that you will never really have a good day so that's basically what this song is about. Why am I putting a negative song on this? Because it still can be relatable and in general it's still an amazing song!
"Have You Ever Seen The Rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
This song has such a cool vibe to it, my friend suggested this song and i immediately fell in love with it and i don't know why. It may be because of the lead singers amazing voice or the very simple lyrics that beautifully describe rain. Either way, this song is so catchy and it has such a nice feel to it.
"Sweet Creature" By Harry Styles
My One Direction phase surely isn't over after hearing this song. Harry Styles made the best comeback out of all of the 1D boys with this song. Harry explains how a person (or as he calls a "sweet creature") brings him hope even though there are rough patches throughout this ride he is talking about with his significant other. This song sounds nothing like One Direction and I love the feeling it gives me listening to the new music.
