This application claims benefit of priority under 35 USC � 119 to Japanese Patent Applications No. 2003-96373, No. 2003-96432 and No. 2003-96519, filed on Mar. 31, 2003, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a display device having an image acquisition function.
2. Related Background Art
A liquid crystal display is typically comprised of an array substrate having signal lines, scanning lines and pixel TFTs arranged in matrix, and a drive circuit for driving the signal lines and the scanning lines. With an integrated circuit technology drastically advanced in recent years, a processing technology forming a part of the driving circuits on the array substrate has been put into practical use. Thanks to the technology, it became possible to downsize and lighten the entire liquid crystal display. Such kind of liquid crystal display is widely used as a display device of various portable equipments such as a portable phone and a notebook PC.
There is proposed a display device having image acquisition function, which has closely assembled area sensors (see Japanese Patent Laid-open Nos. 292276/2001 and 339640/2001).
In this prior art display device having an image acquisition function, the amount of electric charge of the capacitor connected to the sensor is changed in accordance with the amount of light received by the sensor. The image acquisition is conducted by detecting voltages at both ends of the capacitor.
On the other hand, the liquid crystal display controls whether or not a light of a backlight source disposed in back surface passes through liquid crystal pixels to perform arbitrary display. At this time, if a lot of photoelectric conversion elements and circuits are integrated in the pixels, it is impossible to ensure sufficient aperture rate, and to obtain required display luminance.
The luminance of the backlight may be able to raise by some way, but this may, in turn, adversely increase power consumption. In the ordinary display device, it is difficult to provide the pixel with the photoelectric element and the circuit for more than bit. Because of this, unlike a CMOS image sensor and a CCD used for a digital camera and so on, the display device is able to directly produce only 1 bit of image pickup data. In order to convert this data into multi gradation data, it is necessary to perform specific processing in which a lot of image pickup processings are repeated while changing image pickup conditions, and addition/averaging processing is performed at outside. After the gradational differentiation, it is necessary to conduct general image processings such as gradation correction and defective correction conducted by the ordinary digital camera.
Although a dedicated image processing IC may be provided to conduct these processings, it leads to an increase in the manufacturing cost.
An object of the present invention to provide a display device capable of performing image processings of image obtained by image acquisition in the pixels in simplified configuration and manner.

A display device according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The base band LSI 3 has a CPU 11, a main memory 12, an MPEG processing unit 13, a DRAM 14, an audio signal processing unit (not shown), and the like and controls the whole cellular phone. In
The LCDC 2 includes a control unit 15 and a frame memory 16. The camera 4 can be realized by a CCD (charge coupled device) or a CMOS image acquisition sensor.
The LCD substrate 1 in this embodiment has the image acquisition sensor for any single pixel. The LCD substrate 1 has an opposite substrate spaced by a certain distance (e.g., about 5 microns), having a common electrode composed of a transparent electrode such as an ITO. The LCD substrate 1 is sealed by injecting a liquid crystal material between the substrates. Deflecting plates are affixed to both the substrates on their respective outer major surfaces.
As can be seen in
The luminance of each pixel is gradually controlled by controlling transmittance of a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the image electrode and the common electrode, based on a difference between a potential of the image electrode in accordance with the electric charge accumulated in the auxiliary capacitor Cs and a potential of the common electrode formed on the opposite substrate.
Upon initializing the capacitor C1, the pixel TFT 31 and the initializing TFT 35 are turned on. Upon loading (overwriting) the auxiliary capacitance Cs with analog voltage (analog pixel voltage) to determine the luminance of the display element, the pixel TFT 31 and the display control TFT 32 are turned on. Upon refreshing the capacitor C1, both the initializing TFT 35 and a data retaining TFT 36 in the SRAM, 34 are turned on. When the voltage of the capacitor C1 is close to a level of the supply voltage (5V) of the SRAM 34, a bit of leak hardly affects the 5V voltage resulted from the refreshing, or otherwise, when the voltage of the capacitor C1 is close to the ground voltage (0V), the result of the refreshing is 0V. So far as both the TFTs 35 and 36 are turned on, a data value in the SRAM 34 is considerably stable and continually unchanged. Even if either of the TFTs 35 and 36 is turned off, the data value of the SRAM 34 is still retained if the potential leak from the capacitor C1 is small. If the refresh is conducted after the potential leak of the capacitor C1 increases and before data value changes, it is possible to retain the data value of the SRAM 34. When the image pickup data stored in the SRAM 34 is to be transferred to the signal line, both the pixel TFT 31 and the data retaining TFT 36 should be turned on.
The display device of this embodiment can perform ordinary display operation and image acquisition similar to a scanner. When performing the ordinary display operation, the TFTs 35 and 36 are turned off so as not to store effective data in a buffer. In this case, the signal lines are supplied with signal line voltages from the signal line drive circuit 22, a display is conducted in accordance with the signal line voltages.
On the other hand, when performing the image acquisition, an object for image acquisition (e.g., a sheet of paper) 37 is disposed on an upper face of the LCD substrate 1 as shown in
The image data acquired in this manner are, once stored in the SRAM 34 as recognized in
The display on the LCD substrate is conducted in principal under the instruction and the management of the base band LSI 3. For instance, when the base band LSI 3 receives the image pickup data from the camera 4, the base band LSI 3 outputs the image pickup data to the LCDC 2 at a predetermined timing. After receiving the image pickup data of the camera 4 from the base band LSI 3, the LCDC 2 stores them in the frame memory 16. If a sequence of the image pickup data of the camera 4 are intermittently transferred from the base band LSI 3, the LCDC 2 outputs to the LCD substrate 1 the image pickup data for full screen received from the camera 4 and stored in the frame memory 16 at the predetermined timing. The LCD substrate 1 converts the image pickup data from the LCDC 2 into the analog pixel voltage in order to load (overwrite) the signal line with the voltage.
In contrast,
In the prior art, upon displaying animation pictures, MPEF codec signals received through the MPEG-IF are usually converted into RGB data by referring to the LUT 62, and the resultant data are stored in the frame memory 16. Upon displaying texts, pictorial commands given from the CPU 11 via the host I/F 45 are converted into the RGB data, and the resultant data are stored in the frame memory 16. The oscillator 71 produces reference clocks as required. When the cellular phone is in a standby state, for example, namely, when the CPU is being suspended and a waiting call screen has to be displayed, the LCDC 2 continuously routinely sends the pixel data for display from the LCDC 2 to the LCD substrate 1 in sync with the reference clocks.
The LCDC 2 changes the order of the digital image data read out from the frame memory 16, for example, one line by one line in sequence from a first line of the display screen, to output it in the LCD substrate 1.
The LCDC 2 of this embodiment, as shown in
Each of the pixels in the LCD substrate 1, which must ensure the sufficient aperture rate, has only a restricted space for disposing the image acquisition sensor 33 and other peripheral circuits. With the reduced aperture rate, the backlight has to attain the greater luminance to satisfy the requirement for the normal display on the screen, and this adversely leads to an increase in the power consumption for the backlight. It is desirable that each pixel has the image acquisition sensor 33 and other associated circuits as small as possible in number. When there is only one image acquisition sensors 33, if it is possible to precisely pick up a subtle variation in the potential of the capacitor C1, the image differentiated in multi gradations can be successfully realized, but it is a hard task. The reason is because the TFT and the image acquisition sensor formed on the glass substrate have differences which cannot be ignored with respect to the operational threshold and so on, even if they are formed on the same substrate. One solution to this is to provide each pixel with a variation compensating circuit, but the variation compensating circuit itself occupies a certain area, thereby deteriorating the aperture rate. Accordingly, in order to perform the image acquisition in multiple gradation, without providing multiple image acquisition sensors 33 and a complicated compensation circuit in the pixel, image pickups at multiple times are conducted while changing the image pickup condition, and the processing for multiple gradation and the processing for noise compensation are conducted based on these data.
where L(x,y)i is the i-th gradation value of coordinates (x,y).
Upon conducting Steps S1 and S2, as shown in
When conducting the sequential addition as shown in
Next, a subtraction processing of a non-uniform pattern is carried out (Step S3). After that, adjustment of white balance, defective correction and so on are conducted (Step S4). Besides, while changing the image pickup condition little by little, the image pickup is conducted N times. There is a method in which if (1−i) times are black, and (i+1−64) times are white, "i gradation" is set.
The scanning line drive circuit 23 includes a 240-stage shift register 71, a 3-choice decoder 72, a level shifter (L/S) 73, a multiplexer (MUX) 74, and a buffer 75.
The signal processing/outputting circuit 25 has 320 pre-charging circuits 76, a 4-choice decoder 77, a 80-stage shift register 78 having every tenth stage of the register connected to a data bus, and 8 output buffers 79.
Each of component registers in the shift register 71 has a circuit configuration as illustrated in
The 3-choice decoder 72, upon receiving one of control signals Field 1, Field 2 and Field 3, selects one from the three adjacent scanning lines, and thus, it can activate every third one of the 240 scanning lines. For instance, when Field [1:3]=(H, L, L) is satisfied, the scanning lines are activated in order as in G1, G4, G7, . . . , and so forth, or otherwise, when Field [1:3]=(L, H, L) is true, the scanning lines are activated in order as in G2, G5, G8, . . . , and so forth.
By driving the scanning lines in this manner, it is possible to detect an averaging gradation of the whole display screen (i.e., a rate of white pixels to the number of pixels in unit) in a shortened period of time. Thus, after driving every third scanning line, the shooting result is read out from the image acquisition sensor 33 corresponding to the driven scanning line to compute the averaging gradation, and it is determined from the computation result if the remaining image acquisition sensors 33 should be accessed to get the shooting result from them or if the image pickup conditions should be changed to take a picture again, which is useful to avoid the acquisition of image pickup data produced under inadequate image pickup conditions. This works effectively to shorten the period of time till the shooting result is eventually displayed.
The MUX 74 switches the operation mode between turning on every single scanning line and simultaneously turning all the scanning line on. The reason of turning on all the scanning lines at the same time is because of accumulating the initial electric charge in the capacitor C1 for storing the image pickup result of the image acquisition sensor 33 at the same time.
In this way, by providing the MUX 74, it is unnecessary to provide a dedicated TFT which switches whether or not to accumulate the initial electric charge in the capacitor C1, thereby reducing the circuit volume.
During the normal display period, the operation in a mode M1 in
Then, the operation is switched to a mode m2 where after pre-charging the capacitors C1 of all the pixels (loading with the initial electricity), a picture is taken. During the procedure, as shown in
Next, in a mode m3, part of the image pickup data (equivalent to one twelfth of the whole screen) is output. Specifically, turning the given scanning lines on depending upon a shift pulse from the scanning line drive circuit, those scanning lines are loaded with the data stored in the SRAM 34 associated with the part of the text or image. In this case, as shown in
The image pickup data outputted to the signal lines are held in the latch circuit 97 in the P/S converting circuit 91 in
First of all, the 1st, the 5th, the 9th and some other columns of data among all the data in the 1st to the 238th columns are output. The output data are equivalent to one twelfth of the entire image data. From the data output so far, the averaging gradation Lmean is calculated. During the procedure, the LCDC 2 and its associated device units count the averaging gradation Lmean. The LCD/I/F unit 44 of the LCDC 2 is provided with a counter not shown, a memory for storing the averaging gradation and a determination reference value concerning a difference of the averaging gradation, a logic circuit for calculating the difference of the averaging gradation and a comparator for comparing the difference of the averaging gradation with the determination reference value.
It is determined if the averaging gradation of the one twelfth of the entire pixel data is saturated (Step S11), and if so, the data output is interrupted to commence the image processing (in a mode m5).
Then, it is determined if the obtained averaging gradation is too small (Step S12), and if so, the next image pickup time is extended to T+2�ΔT to repeat the processings subsequent to the mode m2. If not, it is further determined if the averaging gradation is excessive (Step S13), and if so, the next mage pickup time is. shortened to T+0.5�ΔT to repeat the processings subsequent to the mode m2. If not, the operation switches to the mode m4 to continually output the remaining eleven twelfth of the data.
The procedures of the operation modes m1 to m4 are repeated till the averaging gradation is saturated.
In the mode m5, averaging the image pickup data thus obtained enables the gradation information on while color components to be compiled.
In the mode m5, similarly, green and blue color components are compiled. A choice from white, green, and blue depends upon which luminescent color should be used for the backlight (LED). When the backlight is illuminated with white color, it is possible to use white LED. Or the white color may be formed by illuminating three kinds of LEDs of red, green and blue colors.
When the backlight is illuminated with red color, the image pickup can be skipped. By subtracting the generated blue and green components from the generated white color component, it is possible to generate the red color component. Photoelectric current in the image acquisition sensors 33 causes wavelength dispersion, and in case that the image pickup time should be lengthened to detect red color, it is possible to avoid a problem in which the whole image pickup time lengthens.
When the gradation information for each of red, green and blue colors are obtained by the aforementioned method, the resultant composite colors are overlaid one another to compose a colored image. The colored image is stored in the image memory and also transferred to the image processing IC 5 via the base band LSI 3. Treatments of the general purpose image processing (i.e., gradation correction, color correction, defective image compensation, edge correction, noise elimination, white balance correction, etc.) are carried out, and once the results are stored in the frame memory 16 in the LCDC2 in the predetermined procedures to display them later, they are produced from the LCDC 2 in a given format and then displayed on the LCD screen.
Then, it is determined if the averaging gradation Lmean is below the given reference value (e.g., 64) (Step S23). If so, it is further determined if the difference from the averaging gradation Lmean0 of the image pickup data immediately before the current one exceeds a given reference value ΔH0 (Step S24). If so, it is additionally determined if the difference is smaller than another given reference value ΔH1 (Step S25). If so, the image pickup data is sequentially taken from the remaining image acquisition sensors 33 in the pixels to add the newly obtained data to the existing data stored in the image processing memory 65 (Step S26). Next, after incrementing the accumulated number of times A of the image acquisition by one (Step S27), the processings subsequent to the Step S21 are repeated.
On the other hand, when the difference is determined to be less than a reference value ΔH0 in step S24, or the difference is more than ΔH1 in step S25, the processing returns in step S21.
When the determination at Step S23 is that the averaging gradation Lmean exceeds 64, the gradation value L(x,y) of the pixel positioned in the coordinates (x, y) is obtained from the formula (2) as follows:
L(x,y)=L(x,y)/A (2).
Thus, in this embodiment, the image pickup data from the image acquisition sensors 33, which are binarized, are transferred from the LCD substrate 1 to the LCDC 2, and the LCDC 2 processes each of the binarized data produced in several image pickup conditions to generate the image pickup data differentiated in multi gradations, which are sent to the image processing IC 5 to undergo the general purpose image processing treatments such as gradation correction and color compensation. In this way, all the treatments to the image pickup data of the image acquisition sensors 33 are not carried out by the LCDC 2, but part of the image processing is performed by the image processing IC 5 that is usually dedicated to the image pickup data derived from the camera 4, and hence, the configuration of the LCDC 2 can be simplified. Also, according to this embodiment, it is unnecessary to provide multiple IC chips which conduct the same processings in the portable phone, thereby reducing chip area and lowering cost of the whole portable phone.
Moreover, in this embodiment, instead of capturing red color in which it takes long time to pick up image, the red color component is generated based on the image pickup result of white, green and blue. Accordingly, not only the total image pickup time but the time from the image pickup till displaying the resultant image can be shortened.
Further, in this embodiment, the averaging gradation is obtained from the image pickup results from the image acquisition sensors 33 connected to part of the scanning lines and part of the signal lines, and hence, the averaging gradation can be computed in a reduced time, and eliminated is the useless task of producing all the image pickup results from the image acquisition sensors 33 taken under some image pickup conditions inadequate to computing them for the averaging gradation. Thus, the averaging gradation can accurately be computed in the reduced time.
Although, in this embodiment, an LCD processing data by means of the field sequential drive has been described, any of the ordinary LCDs that are well-known in the art may be similarly used in an application where a single pixel is divided into three sub-pixels and color filters R, G and B are provided to display the image. Also, an organic EL display device which has pixels each provided with an LED may be applied to this embodiment. This embodiment is applicable not only to the cellular phone but similarly to portable information terminals such as a PDA (personal data assistant) and a mobile PC.
In this embodiment, although three composite colors of "white, green and blue" are used to attain eventual composite colors of "red, green and blue", the attainable composite colors include more variations. It is possible that three composite colors of "cyan, magenta, and yellow" are used to attain eventual composite colors of "red, green and blue". The backlight for the LED may develop luminescent colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow, and this may be attained by lighting up luminescent colors of red and green, green and blue, and blue and red, as well.
In order to compute the averaging gradation, a counter may be incorporated in the LCD substrate to use data bus for data outputs, or otherwise, the LCDC and its component device units may be substituted for the counter upon receiving the image pickup data.
A second embodiment of the present invention also relies upon the feature called field sequential drive where the backlight has a set of luminescent colors lit up in a repetitive sequence of red, green and blue. In such a case, an observer visually perceives as if multi-color images were displayed.
A structure of a single pixel unit in the second embodiment is similar to that in
In view of this noteworthy point, as shown in
The image processing IC 5 cannot distinguish the image pickup data of the actual image acquisition sensor 33 from the image pickup data of the virtual image acquisition sensor 33, and hence, it processes images without discriminating both the image pickup data. Accordingly, this embodiment apparently attains similar effects to an application where the number of the image pickup sensors 33 is doubled along both the lateral and longitudinal extensions of the array. Thus, the second embodiment can double the resolution of the acquired image, compared with the first embodiment. In an application where a finger print of a user read from the display screen is transferred to a remote host computer via a communication system associated with the cellular phone so as to determine (authenticate) the user as a right person to proceed with the online banking, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the authentication because the pickup image is high resolution.
Also, since the data output unit of the LCDC includes an arithmetic operation unit to compute a value from the virtual image acquisition sensor, there is no need for the LCDC to increase the image processing memory any longer.
The image acquisition sensors in the pixels are in zigzag deployment in the aforementioned embodiment, but various other variations can be envisioned. It should be noted that along one lateral or longitudinal extension of the array, the light receiving elements of the image acquisition sensors are not aligned in simple straight line. The adjacent sensors may be alternately positioned in more than two separate lines. As the calculation method of the virtual image, various changes is possible. It is assumed to conduct the calculation taking the frequency component of the surrounding pixels into consideration.
The aforementioned embodiments all focus the applications to the liquid crystal display according to the present invention. The present invention may be applied to any type of a flat display device having an image acquisition function.
A third embodiment of the present invention relates to system configuration.
A fourth embodiment of the present invention relates to system configuration.

This is a ripping yarn, an old-timey sea adventure.
Top Critic

The story is spellbinding, the acting lusty and the spectacle everything you could expect from a Golden Age MGM production -- though sometimes it's a bit too much on the monumental side.

December 12, 2006
It's tainted by a fair amount of middlebrow stuffiness, but it's a fleet piece of storytelling and serves to enshrine one of the great ham performances of all time, Charles Laughton's Captain Bligh.
October 10, 2006
Its theme of rebellion against that which binds us resonates today. Mutiny on the Bounty is well acted and well scripted.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
July 27, 2006
The first and best of the three versions of the famous mutiny is a big budget production, a stirring sea adventure praised at the time for its narrative pull, great acting of the three leads, and exotic locales.
June 8, 2006
True MGM classic with memorable Gable and Laughton. Fine production overall.

The new — well, new-ish — animated series Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks will play in cinemas on Nov. 14, BBC America and Fathom Events announced Wednesday.
The Power of the Daleks was originally a live-action, six-part adventure, starring Patrick Troughton as the titular Time Lord. The project was broadcast in the U.K. way back in 1966, but the master negatives were destroyed in an archive purge in 1974. This new, animated version is based on original audio recordings, surviving photographs, and film clips.
The Power of the Daleks finds Troughton's Doctor, Polly (Anneke Wills) and Ben (Michael Craze) battling the Daleks on the planet Vulcan. The series is produced and directed by Charles Norton, with character designs from comic book artists Martin Geraghty and Adrian Salmon. The cinema screenings will also feature exclusive bonus content, including interviews with members of the original cast. BBC America will screen The Power of the Daleks on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8:25 p.m. ET.
"Ahead of the premiere on BBC America, it is a rare treat to be able to bring the lost episode, Power of the Daleks, to life using modern animation techniques," said Soumya Sriraman, BBC Worldwide North America EVP of franchise and digital enterprises, in a statement. "Doctor Who cinema events have been incredibly successful, and this is extraordinary opportunity to allow a new generation of fans the opportunity to experience this classic adventure for the first time."
"We're pleased to continue our long-standing and successful partnership with BBC America to bring more fantastic Doctor Who content to the big screen," said Fathom Events vice president of programming Kymberli Frueh. "The Whovians are always one of our biggest and most passionate groups of fans at the cinemas."
Tickets for Doctor Who: The Power of the Daleks can be purchased online beginning Friday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. ET by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices.
You can see a teaser for The Power of the Daleks, below.

Langley Castle
Given the peaceful tranquility and stunning landscape of its surroundings, one could be forgiven for thinking that the striking mediaeval citadel of Langley Castle was built in the wrong place. The 7 foot thick stone walls however, alude to the great turbulence of its 14th century origins.
Fortunately, Langley today offers exquisite luxury and fine dining amongst some of the best preserved architecture from Medieval England, snuggled between the Northumberland national park and the North Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty.
History of Langley Castle:
As a military stronghold the Langley Castle estate passed into the ownership of the Earls of Derwentwater in the 17th Century who became entwined in the military overtures between England and Scotland. After the glorious revolution in 1688, the Catholic King James II was removed from the throne to be replaced by the Protestant William of Orange. James died in exile but his son, also James, raised a rebellion to restore absolute monarchism. The so called Jacobite rebellion was quickly crushed with the unfortunate Earls of Derwentwater backing the losing side. It cost them their heads and the family their estate as Parliament temporarily suspended Habeus corpus (the right to fair trial) and confiscated all Jacobite lands. The lands having been confiscated were taken for the crown. Ironically, in a role reversal so common in history, it was this abuse of power that Parliament had wanted to prevent by removing absolute monarchy; and the kind of absolute power that the Jacobites had been looking to restore! Read More
Interesting facts about Langley Castle:
1. The castle's first resident was Sir Thomas de Lucy who was a favourite of the reigning monarch King Edward III. Sir Thomas had fought alongside Edward during the King's invasion of France and seizure of Normandy. In particular, he had proved his courage at the Battle of Crecy which had proved a crushing victory for the English army. Despite his warmongering on the continent, King Edward was acutely aware of the threat from the North and commissioned the building of Langley as a reward for Sir Thomas. It also allowed the King to have a stronghold in the North against Scottish raiders. As recently as 1314, Northumbria had been devastated by King Robert Bruce of Scotland...Read More

The Italy captain was in inspired form during the first half of the game in Turin, playing a key role in a result which leaves the Nerazzurri 10 points behind third-placed Lazio
The struggling Nerazzurri had the better of a scrappy first half and forced the Italy captain into a string of fine saves.
The hosts then took over in the second period and opened the scoring when an unmarked Martin Caceres headed home Andrea Pirlo's corner, before sealing three precious points through substitute Alessandro Del Piero, leaving Ranieri cursing the brilliance of Buffon and a fatal lapse in concentration from his defence.
"That set-piece changed everything," the Inter boss said of the opening goal during his post-game interview with Premium Calcio.
"Until that, we had created so much and only a super goalkeeper like Buffon denied us a goal."
Ranieri elaborated on his frustration over Caceres' opener on Sky Sport Italia: "There is regret at having wasted a good hour of play by again conceding a goal after switching off for a set-piece.
"There was only a few in the penalty area but we were drawn to [Mirko] Vucinic at the front post, leaving only Caceres in the middle. Then we didn't react.
"I'm sorry because we could have come away from here with a different scoreline after that first half."
Inter's loss at Juventus Stadium leaves them eighth in Serie A, 10 points adrift of third-placed Lazio.
However, while Ranieri concedes that the Nerazzurri now have it all to do if they are to qualify for next season's Champions League, he refused to throw in the towel just yet.
"We must fight and take it one game at a time," the Roman reasoned. "Then we'll see where we are.
"Sure, to win here would have given us a big push but this year we have not been able to get on the right track.
"Ten points to make up on Lazio is a lot, it is true, but we will not give up."
Inter's next Serie A outing comes against Genoa at the Giuseppe Meazza next weekend.

Tim Farron has today visited a primary school in Bacup in an effort to convince voters that the Lib Dems absolutely, cross their hearts hope to die, will not fuck it up over education this time round.
During the 2 hour stay Farron addresses the press to discuss his parties policies, as well as spending 30 minutes amongst the children.
It has been reported to the Herald that within 10 minutes, teachers assistants were required to rescue Farron, who was viciously bullied by the classroom of 6 year olds.
"Mr Farron has suffered minor Chinese burns, a peanutted tie and had to relinquish his lunch money." Said the school nurse.
We were unable to reach the Lib Dem leader for comment. However his aide stated.
"Tim is rather shaken up and is waiting in the reception class snug for his mum to come and collect him."

: I still can't believe I was captured by the Romans like that…
: If it would make your mind more at ease, we're going to go through the different unit types rather than battling today…
: Well, so long as it isn't about Romans.
: Actually, it is.
: The very cheapest units, they're still vital to your success even in the late-game, as they are effective on rough terrain. Terrain bonuses and maluses are considerably large in Legion Arena, so your light infantry will be kicking heavy infantry ass on rough terrain, and vice versa if you're foolish enough to lead your heavies into the same situation. They're restricted on open ground though, and outmatched in stats by the heavies.
: For 25 denarii you can buy the indisputably worst unit in the game. The game says to only use when desperate, but… don't use it even if you're desperate.
: The pitchfork is cute, though.
: For 50 denarii you can buy the slightly less useless Militia. Some players apparently swear that it's awesome because of its experience gain, but because they can barely handle their spear, are barelegged and become routed by a particularly loud fart, these players are clearly playing on Normal.
: Plus, he looks far less cooler than the Gaul/Latin militia.
: Now for something actually useful. The Auxilia can throw a spear and has pretty decent stats of their own. It's like a low-price heavy infantry, but it isn't, and that's what makes it one of the best units in the game. Any Roman army will need a few of these.
: Um, Squirtle… these units are turquoise. Isn't the default colour red?
: I just like turquoise, OK?
: Dedicated ranged units are a nice complement to your army, softening up and harassing the enemy from behind a meat wall. Keep in mind though that it adds another layer of complexity to your army, because of the dangers of the enemy flanking you. Generally though, it's worth the hassle, as exemplified by just how annoying enemy skirmishers are. They have only 36 men in a squad, rather than 48.
: Skirmishers… these are the most basic of ranged support. They have fairly limited range and ammo. The latter means you're going to want the Velites, because it has two more ammo. Note that it is better in combat than the Militia. These guys are the only ones who are plain disadvantaged on open ground, but are good on rough terrain in return. One or two Velites are a good complement to an army. Skirmishers are 100 denari per squad and Velites 200. Note that once they reach level 6, you can buy four more javelins for only 15 denarii.
: Velites, huh… more like Wolfman.
: You know that it's Latin and isn't pronounced like "elite", yes? Also, I can't believe the wolf head thing is historically accurate.
: The Auxiliary Archers are in a league of their own. They start firing very soon because of their great range, but they might not run out of ammo before the battle is over, since they fire fairly slowly and has a lot in the quivers. They have some strategic value since they can entice the enemy army to move forward if fired at. They are useful, but at 500 denarii you should consider whether you need a unit of heavy infantry or cavalry first – the dangers of flanking are as always present. A not at all obvious quirk is that they are effective in all terrain except dense forest, where they are restricted.
: These units have some of the best stats of the game, and are effective on open ground. Most of them can also fire a javelin or two before contact. This combined with that they are effective on open ground, the most common terrain, and have a full 48 man means they don't have an obvious counter, and some newbs are inclined to make an army almost fully composed of heavy infantry.
: Don't judge me!
: Anyway… it's important to have a balanced army with many diverse unit types. But heavy infantry will probably make up the majority of your units mid to late-game.
: The most basic of heavy infantry are Spearmen. They are arguably worse in combat than Auxilia even though they both cost 300 denarii, but since the early battles feature predominantly light infantry the Spearmen obviously has an edge. They could be useful after the early-game due to their excellent trample avoid, which could make them decent dedicated death of cavalry units.
: Boar!
: The Hastati is more in line with what you'd expect from heavy infantry, with one javelin and stats more powerful than any light infantry. They're pretty decent all around for their price of 450 denarii. But don't expect miracles.
Wikipedia article on Principe.
: You might notice that the seemingly only difference between Principe and Legionary is the Legionary has a tidbit more armour, and is more expensive: 800 denarii versus 600. For this 200 difference one can equip the Principe with both level 1 and 2 armour, and still have 50 over. Unless the Legionary has access to some sort of late-game equipment, or has cool hidden stats, I don't understand why Legionary would be preferred over Principe. Anyway, Principe is a solid unit and is well worth the investment.
: Old, battle-hardened men, they have excellent stats, but a hefty price tag of 900 denarii. They don't throw a javelin, but instead have excellent trample avoidance, suggesting they would be good against cavalry.
: Finally, the very best of the best: the Praetorian. They are in the same style as Hastati, Principe and Legionary, but far superior at everything. It comes at a price, though: 1200 denarii. When you're loaded with money, you may want to invest in one of these. They will serve superbly in anything you have them do, except fight in rough terrain of course.
: Technically, there are two classes: Light and heavy cavalry. But since both have the same terrain bonuses and penalties, and anti-cavalry promotions strike both equally, I don't see any practical difference between them.
: Horses!
: Cavalry squads are composed of 24 men rather than the regular 48. They love open ground and hate rough terrain. Their greatest use lies in their speed (not to be confused with agility, though they have high agility as well) – they can flank the enemy, utilize cracks in the line-up, support other squads quickly. They also have trample, killing a few units initially, hopefully making weaker units like Skirmishers rout quickly. Trample can also kill a few routed units, which has no effect on the actual battle, but will give cavalry more experience. They also have less order point cost. Any army should definitely learn to use cavalry.
: The Scout is the most basic cavalry unit, having shoddy protection and not that considerably large trample. They have the highest natural agility, though. They have a very nice price as well, of a mere 150 denarii. This is a good unit for when your army is just getting started.
: A better cavalry unit at double the price – 300 denarii. It has some actual armour, and better trample, allowing it to go toe-to-toe with some slightly more advanced units. Also note the morale – it is the cheapest unit to have a morale that high.
: Last but not least is the Auxiliary Cavalry, the closest thing to a knight in this historical setting. At 500 denarii, I'd say you get what you pay for. They have the most trample, and is the most reliable cavalry unit, which is good when your plan for a battle depends on your cavalry not routing, and dispatching an enemy squad quickly. Curiously, they start with more melee concuss than most units.
: Elephant! Oh boy!
: These beasts are in a category of their own. They have magnificent stats, as well as trample, but they only have 8 units in the squad, compared to 24, 36 and 48. They also have surprisingly small pool of promotions to choose Might veer into Awesome But Impractical. They are best used in conjunction with other units, easily routed when used on their own. Considering that and the price tag of 1000 denarii, you should consider getting one only when your army has some hull on the bones.
: Then there is the Legate, which is a one-man squad. I mean that in the fullest effect, as he really counts as one squad, and since you can't remove him from the field it is rather irritating on max eight squads maps. The Legate really can be useful – skirmishers will stop firing even if it's only one crazy guy charging the enemy on his lonesome. If he dies your order point cost goes through the roof, though, so be careful. The "ring of morale" he has ensures that your armies fight better in battle, and could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
: Next: We actually play the game!

Hi Chuck
I just noticed one of you articles is on mytripledub.com too. It's your article on "Defined Benefit vs. Defined Contribution Pension Plans. The rest of you hubbers may want to check this site out too!
That looks like quite a good site actually, wonder what the page rank is.
If I wrote a summary a hub on this site and linked to it, would this count as a dofollow link?

I just threatened the site with a dmca to google if he doesn't remove my content. This ticks me off, it makes two from two different sites in a month.
Thats nothing, I bet you have more. I have at least 10 to do, everybody is in the same boat.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday congratulated his "dear friend" Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on his 90th birthday. "You enjoy deep respect in Russia as an outstanding statesman who devoted his entire life to serving the people of Cuba," Putin wrote in a telegram posted on the Kremlin's website.

Blast & Recovery Systems
Blast and Recovery Systems (BRS) are designed for use when open-air blasting is prohibited, when it is not possible or is impractical. These systems blast and recover spent abrasive, contaminants and dust at the same time. They can also be used to blast and then vacuum abrasive independently. While BRS will never replace open-air blasting for all applications or jobs because of their lower overall productivity, there are those jobs that are ideally suited for these systems.
When the jobsite is sensitive to dust and contaminants, or when open-air blasting is prohibited, is simply not possible or isn't practical, the Schmidt® Blast and Recovery Systems provide the solution.
The miniBRS™ system is a compact and easily maneuverable abrasive blaster that blasts and then recovers spent abrasive, contaminants and dust in the same step, eliminating the need for containment. Unlike other systems on the market, the miniBRS has an ergonomic design, a lightweight yet durable blast head and smaller diameter, lighter weight hoses that are sized to match the system—all to make the miniBRS exceptionally easy and comfortable to use. Operator fatigue is reduced and productivity is higher with this system.
Designed to deliver powerful performance over a range of blasting pressures in a compact package. Blast and recover at up to 200 feet away from the unit. Operates on just a 185 cfm compressor.

Regime barrel-bomb strikes on Aleppo neighborhoods Tuesday killed at least 10 people, as rebels pushed forward with their campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS, also known as ISIL).
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said helicopters dropped crude barrel bombs on two areas in the northern city, killing five children and five adults.
In rural Deir Al Zor, one fighter from ISIS was killed along with five rebels in clashes between the two sides, one day after ISIS militants were chased from most of their positions in the province. Rebels were also massing for attacks on ISIS positions in the Aleppo town of Jarablus and the village of Rai, the Observatory said, while six ISIS fighters and one rebel were killed in clashes near the village of Qara Kubra.
Near the Aleppo village of Aziza, rebels killed six regime troops Monday. The Observatory said rebels decapitated the corpses and placed the heads on display, calling them a "present" for Gen. Suheil Al Hasan, a regime commander in Aleppo.
In Homs province, clashes continued around the village of Zara near Tal Kalakh, on the Lebanese border. Five rebels and a regime lieutenant have been killed in the clashes over the last 48 hours, the Observatory said.
Although ISIS is fighting rebels throughout much of northern Syria, its militants and a rebel group staged a suicide blast in Jobar, on the outskirts of Damascus, that killed at least 32 regime troops Sunday, the Observatory said.
In the Yarmouk refugee camp, preparations were underway for a withdrawal of rebels from the besieged district, with their places to be taken by "Palestinian gunmen" and members of a pro-regime Palestinian group, the Observatory said.
Monday's death toll stood at 248, of whom 192 were fighters, the Observatory said.

For some time now Guy Sebastian has managed to slowly break away from his Idol days: there was a duet with Jordin Sparks, a new 'do and of course, becoming a finalist in last year's Eurovision.
Despite all of this, the artist has struggled to move from shiny popstar to cool hip-hop dude though, triple j's "Like A Version" segment on Friday morning may have just changed all that.
Joining forces with Australian producer PACES, Sebastian covered LDRU's "Keeping Score" and successfully kept people's attention for a solid three minutes.

Whatever we may think, Eurovision is no longer only a song contest. No matter the importance of the stagging, the dresses and the song, Eurovision is now closer to a performative arts contest.
After lots of rehearsals and work behind each participating team, everything must be perfect for the Big event, lights, dress, make up, coreography, voice and all the details needed for the best performance of a lifetime!
Pity that not everything can result as the team wish. Sometimes because of the artist, sometimes because of the movements or sometimes because the dresses are proper for winning the Barbara Dex Award. Most of the times we don't notice those little mistakes in the performances but when we do it, it is something that no eurofan will forget!
This year, we choose 5 (Perfect) Imperfections from this year contest as seen on TV. This is the TOP 5!
5. Australia
If you are enjoying the voice and the song of Dami Im you won't notice anything, but if you watched the rehearsal two days before the contest you knew that she wasn't going to be seated during all the song.
There's one second in which you see two men running on stage.
4. Estonia
Juri was last on his semi final. On TV we saw him very nervous and trying to do some magic numbers with cards.
Well... his tricks were so predictable that he would never got a ticket for the next round of Got Talent.
3. Moldova
The astronaut from Moldova was not the first in Eurovision as we saw some in 2013 coming from Montenegro. During the performance, the astronaut dances around the singer and just before the end, he opened his diving dress and... Oops!!! We saw his acreditation! Did he simply forgot it? or was he saying to all the non-acreditated fans and press "I got it!" ?
2. Russia
It's obvious that Sergey and his team worked and worked and worked to make a perfect presentation but after all their work all the viewers saw on TV some things that were avoidable.
Of course you can use your imagination but was it Sergey with wings or the shadow of Sergey with wings? Maybe a simple lightning system would have changed it.
All the viewers on TV noticed the irregularity on the screen behind Sergey. Was it necessary? Maybe, but it doensn't looked ok.
1. Finland
Apparently everything was good on the performance of Sandhja, at least visually. Energy, good vibe and a nice song to start the show!
That's our favourite perfect imperfection, and for us, the perfect imperfection of the year! Not because of Sandhja but due to one of her backing vocals! The frozen frame won't show what we felt when we watched it. we recommend you to watch it and repeat it, and watch it again and again!
What was that jumping bulge? Her T-shirt? Watch it and take your conclusions!
Remember that Nobody's perfect! So we don't!

The after Eurovision season is starting now and with it, some frustrated fans, some happy fans, countries returning, maybe countries withdrawing and some of the delegations already planning!
This year we faced a new voting system, and it was clearly exciting till the end of the show! Of course not everyone liked the winner (LIKE EVERY YEAR), of course not everyone loved the new system, but we must respect the rules! YES, Eurovision has rules and in every contest it's very necessary! You may like the rules or not, but no one has the right to protest after the result!
So, we have a winner!!!
It's the song political? Maybe! Jamala won with the actual rules? YES!!
Like last year with Il Volo the same happened now with Australia vs. Ukraine! But once again, you got RULES! Ukraine might not have been the 1st in the televoting or 1st in the jury; but as Mathematics show, if Australia or Russia would have been the 1st in both juries or televoting should have won!
But we spent the morning calculatin how would it be with the previous system, and with some marge of errors (we've been partying), we show you the results below with Australia winning the contest! But hey!!! And if Australia had won? Surely a lot fo people would have been complaining all night saying that it is not Europe, and on, and on!! Is there a consensual winner? No, never!! So, Congratulations Ukraine!! Congratulations Jamala!!

Why is Australia at the Eurovision? - This question is answered by the EBU with the 30 years tradition of Australia with the contest and the passion of the australians for the contest.But what does that mean and how does it look like? Eurovision on top had the unique opportunity to meet an amazing family from Australia, who made the way from Australia to Stockholm and remind the rest of Europe about what the contest (should) mean(s).
Read now a short interview we had with this family and get to know what the Eurovision is from an Australian point of view.
1. First of all, who are you?
We are Bruno 42, Cindy 42, Katija 11 and Lysiane 9. We come from the Adelaide hills, a quiet cherry, grape and apple growing region 30 minutes from the Centre of Adelaide, South Australia. Cindy and I both work in public health and the girls are at school. We play lots of soccer and Katija plays the piano. I love working on old cars and mess around with digital music. Cindy is a knitter and loves cooking. Lysiane is a very strong soccer player. We love playing board games together.
2. What is your link to eurovision?
Our link to eurovision stems from our multicultural heritage. Both of my parents were born in Italy migrated as teenagers in 1960 to australia. Cindy's mother is australian but father left Slovenia in the 1950's. I grew up listening to older Italian music, as Italian culture in australia is preserved from the 1950's. I was surprised at how different italian culture is now compared to what we practice in australia! My parents enjoyed the eurovision telecasts in the 70's and 80's sporadically,but it was never accessible. Cindy and I watched eurovision a lot from 1995,but never seriously. I listened to a lot of electronic music and Cindy alternative. Once our children came along it completely changed things. Both of our children absolutely love it and it has become a religion to them. It provide us with a fresh set of music every 12 months and exposes us to both culturally diverse and different forms of music that we would never even dream of listening to. It becomes or anthem for 12 months.
3. Why did you have that "wish" once to come to eurovision?
It went on our bucket list about 5 years ago in a New Zealand airport lounge when my girls were watching the Dvd. A stranger came up to us and immediately introduced himself as having been to a semifinal performance on a few occasions. He told
us how it could be done. We were entranced. We realized it was something we could work towards when the girls were the right age and that it would be the experience of a lifetime. The colour, drama and experience that we would associate with actually being here would add another layer to our 12 months of music listening! It is just so exciting and we are privileged to be here!
4. How would you describe the image of Eurovision in Australia?
Eurovision is polarising. Australia has its roots in Europe and it provides a link for those with a past. But it also has strong australian followers. So it is very well known thanks to some great commentating from Sam and Julia (we love them! ) and it's transmission. It has now become a strong reason to party and in every city there are now many Eurovision parties. Every year we get together with a few other families and on a Saturday after lunch watch the semifinals before watching the finals quasi live. We dress up as our favourite nation from the last year and prepare a traditional dinner from the host nation...so we ate swedish meatballs just a few years ago! We play eurovision bingo, have assigned countries according to our heritage and vote for our winners. Many australians do it this way!
5. How did you prepared and planned your trip?
The hardest thing was getting tickets. Because we wanted the family show we felt it was easier. The televised events are too late for the kids. We were online in the waiting room when it opened and the minute the tickets were released we tried to book them. It took a lot of sweat and tears as the bookings kept dropping out before we could confirm them. It was not fun but we got there! We flew into Italy first to see family and expected it to be easy to get flights from Pisa to Stockholm. Unfortunately the flights were fully booked so decided to go to Goteburg then train it across to Stockholm. We fly back to Pisa 3 days after the show. The accommodation was difficult as all the hotels were full or way to expensive (including air bnb!). So we booked two rooms in a motel. For fun we checked out airbnb a week ago and found that apartment prices had dropped significantly thus were very lucky to find an affordable place a lot closer. When we went to book the train (we assumed it would be like Italy) found that it was fully booked up for the day we need to travel. The flights were also fully booked...hence we managed to find a seat on the bus from goteburg...7 hours! But we are here and really happy!
6. What are the things you like the most about eurovision?
It relates to the exposure to the unexpected. The showmanship and cultural pride. Understanding other points of view. And it all happens in a positive nature. It opens our minds to other forms of music and helps us understand what we like and don't like, and that other people like different things, and that's ok! I don't like how it is becoming an english song competition but really appreciate the countries that sing a few phrases in english so i understand! For this reason i love Greece France Italy....but B and H really empower to me what eurovision is about. .singing proud for your country and your people celebrating your differences.
7. What was absolutly as you expected them to be?
The many and colourful people we have met who support the show. Eurovision attracts nice people. Not many events can boast this. We love the celebrations outside the arena and the acceptance of the people of the fun of it all. I love how a lot of it is free and accessible. I was surprised that the family shows did not have more people. Maybe they are charging to much? It really should be full given the experience it provides!
8. But have been the most exciting things you didn't expect to be how they have been?
The most exciting things were seeing the artists on the street and at the village stage. We love the people in the eurovision village as they are all so friendly and open. We loved seeing artists from older years singing (Roberto Bellarosa especially) their songs. I almost feel they don't do this enough! We are super excited to be able to support australia!
9. How is it for your two girls to live the contest?
Katija: it is really cool to see them in real life and to see the big reveals and watch the scene changes between the songs. You get to see all of the party and celebrations all around whereas in australia it is mostly in houses.
Lysiane: get to see it in real life. To see the inside and not have to look at where the cameras are. You can be louder in the show. You get to see the scene changes. It is great to see the hosts in real life (Petra and Mars) and you could wave to them! You can also see the green room where the contestants will sit.
10. What will you tell your family and friends when you are back in Australia about Eurovision?
Most of them think we are crazy so we won't say much. ..hehehe. ..really we will tell them how lucky we have been for everything to have worked out how it has. How it is warm and happy to be around. How it is a once in a lifetime thing that has great value in understanding different cultures and people. And the music is great too! It is just great fun!
We thank Cindy and Bruno for the interview and wish this family an unique experience and we are really happy to have Australia joining this contest, with the artists and with this people.

It's the third day of rehearsals at the Globe Arena, a sunny day and the first day for the countries of the second semi final. It's the day a lot of artists wait for since weeks and month... to feel the first moment on stage, to get a feeling for the staging and a first feedback of the press.
This moment of eurovision truth today was for the participants of the second semi final.
Latvia started the day, very early, just in time and very professional, like the artist said at the press conference. The second country was Poland - one of the surprises and underdogs of this year. Poland testes two different outfits and also staging of background performers with violins.
During the press conference Poland surprised with some answers like the person to whom the singer dedicated his actual album - his mother who passed away - a moment not only the singer had tears in his eyes. But also the answer with whom he would like to sing a duet with was suprising - Tina Turner was the answer.
Switzerland was the next one on stage, with Rykka in a new hair colour and a basic performance as well. If it will be enough to have a good song and smoke coming out of the clothes will be seen.
The first surprise of the day was Israel performing made of stars. The song, which is a complete different one to the last years "golden boy" turned into a very powerful and strong song being supported by an amazing staging... clear, basic but strong, specially with a highlight at the end, turning into a strong moment.
Strong was also the statement of the israel artist speaking about what Kaliopi told him, that winning the eurovision is not about bringing the trophy home, it's about having a song the people remember years later.
After the lunch break it was Belarus on stage. The country which in the past liked to change artists or songs, this time chose to change the staging. The rumours about Ivan going nakedon to stage together with wulfs turned into reality. But at the end the song stays the song. A lot of special effects and virtuell stuff for an average song.
Serbia performed with a new look, nothing reminds Amy Winehouse anymore. But it reminds the only serbian winning performance so far of 2007. The backgrounds, the moves and the final pose.
Completly without any special effects, just with lightings, worked Ireland. The sining performance seemed like not to be on the point. We will se how the next rehearsals will go.
Interessting moment after the first performance: no applaus or reaction in the press center.
The last three of the second semi final for the day were FYR Macedonia, Lithuania and Australia, who for the first time have to go through a semi final. This for sure was one of the most expected rehearsals of the day.
FYR Macedonia this years send the known Kaliopi, so everyone was excited to see how she would performe.And she didn't disappointed at all.
Lithuania comes with a strong performer, singer and song. It is basic but powerful and maybe once again they will do it striaght to the final.
But the biggest surprise for today was Australia for sure. Amazing and interesting staging, a brilliant singer and a fantastic song. Maybe an underdog!?
That was the just the first part of the second semi final. Tomorrow morning EOT will be back and give you an update about how the second half is going.

"Service Means Whatever It Takes" is more than our motto. Specifically, our willingness and ability to service our customers sets us apart from our competition. We are able to consistently meet our customer's critical packaging needs, often within 24 hours, through quick turnaround, superior design and creative problem solving.
We have over 800 items in stock and ready for immediate shipment.
The third quarter has drawn to a close as we historically begin our busiest three months of the year. Through the additional capacity that we have added this year, it is our hopes that this upcoming influx of business will be more manageable than it has been previously. In conjunction with our urgent and unwavering commitment to serve customers, we certainly believe that will be the case.
Undoubtedly the production department has developed quite a bit more continuity over the last four or five months which was obviously evident be seeing many of the same machine crews throughout the last quarter. With this consistency much emphasis is now being put towards empowering crews to produce with a sense of urgency as well as be held accountable and responsible for their actions. But in the same breath it remains vitally important that each and every employee operates in a safe and cognizant manner.
The efficiencies within the shipping department have improved dramatically due to much cross-training which has taken place over the last half year. With this increased flexibility our workflow is now more constant when employees take vacations, call off ill or if we have a spike in shipments. As our business grows it will be our intentions to add another tractor/trailer along with a driver in order to make certain that our customers are receiving their product in a timely manner.
Over the last several months there were some significant changes within the maintenance department, most notable being the addition of two new experienced individuals. By far the group is performing the best that is ever has which is quite obvious by the amount of tasks that are getting completed compared to what was being accomplished in the past. The beauty is that through their ongoing effort our push towards developing a first class maintenance department is only inevitable.
From January 1st 2016 to present shipments for the corrugated industry are about even with 2015 which is also holding true for N-Stock Box year to date. Our sales representatives are still working hard towards their ongoing effort of opening new accounts as we expect to see more activity once the dust settles from the upcoming presidential election. A couple of new representatives were added to the sales force this year and we are most certainly expecting good things from them as we begin 2017.
In order to sell, manufacture and deliver product in a manner most beneficial to our customers, it is imperative that our support groups operate efficiently and effectively. Fortunately we have a very strong aggregate of departments (customer service, design, warehousing and inventory control, quality control, scheduling, accounting, human resources, etc.) that allows this to happen. Through the committed collaboration of all the individuals and groups at N-Stock Box, our continued success remains forthcoming.
We have experienced a couple of delays with our sprinkler system installation at the Breiel warehouse, but we now have these issues resolved and are just weeks away from having the facility functional. It will be quite exciting when we initially begin to move product to the warehouse but more so when we start to fill it with new accounts. With the abundant space we will soon possess, we definitely have an infrastructure that will support us for many years to come.
Our IT department finds itself busy most of the time with not only the monitoring and updating our present system, but it can also become inundated with projects that arise on a day to day basis. There has been much accomplished towards our endeavor of further integrations which is very evident through our ongoing improvement to better serve customers. As our company continues to grow and develop, it remains the goal of IT to ultimately develop a system which will fully support plant-wide integration.
From the inception of N-Stock Box to today, there has been steady, significant progress which to some degree or another every employee here has made some contribution. As a mid-size sheet plant within our niche, we genuinely feel there is not a competitor in our marketplace that can even come close to providing our service and value. As we move forward let us remember the commitment that brought us to this point and take that same energy towards not only being the best, but to also being considered the only one capable of doing what we do.
As we transition into the third quarter of 2016, there is much that has happened over the last 90 days. Through these happenings not only did we perform well but we are also now a better company because of it. For all of our customers, employees and suppliers involved, your effort is genuinely appreciated.
The production group has executed quite well even with their recent personnel changes. More emphasis is now being put towards entering and filling out production data accurately, performing thorough quality checks and paying closer attention to the avoid printing and gluing issues. Additionally the department is making progress towards better stabilization of supervisors and machine crews.
Due to the willingness and flexibility of the individuals in shipping, the department performs a fantastic job in delivering product to customers on time. Their goal of loading first runs on second shift is still in the development stages but it is a certainty of eventually happening. In order to best serve our customers, they are working on collaboration with production to assist when one of the forklift drivers in the department is required to help in the warehouse or to make a delivery.
Having to maintain three facilities, the maintenance group finds itself very busy most of the time. They have made significant strides towards organizing the department in both terms of prioritization of work and managing parts inventory. Software is being utilized to not only track and store certain parts, but it is also assisting in the assignment of work through regularly scheduled preventive maintenance.
As of mid-year the sales department is running ahead of last year in both sales dollars and square footage. The group has done a spectacular job to this point, as they have prospects they are calling on which will allow them to eventually sell even more. Aspiring to goals in mind, they recently hired a new sales representative with the idea of hiring another sometime in the new future. As a side note, all of our sales support groups (i.e. customer service, design, inventory control, quality control, scheduling, accounting, etc.) have performed diligently and should be commended for their daily effort.
As certain warehouse accounts have grown and evolved, we find ourselves at a time where additional space is needed. The Breiel warehouse is approximately 45 days away from its completion date which will give us the capacity we need, allowing us to spread back out and regain some of the efficiencies that we previously lost. Our hand work area along with our warehouse areas will soon have ample space enabling us to store, track, pull and ship product in an organized and efficient manner.
On a day to day basis, the IT department has done a great job keeping our system updated and functioning in a proper fashion. Along with the daily maintenance of our system, IT has projects that they are required to work on and complete for various departments in our organization. Just to mention a few, they are presently working on website updates, email blasts, plant-wide reports, bar coding system implementation and Advantzware software troubleshooting.
With the growth that we are experiencing, constant change will always be ongoing and necessary in order for us to keep our facility on pace with the ever changing demands of our customers. As we all know change is not always easy and at times it can be downright difficult. Despite this challenge, it is imperative that each and every one of us embrace this dynamic environment in which we operate, as it is essential that we do so in order for N-Stock Box to ultimately be the very best it can be.
