This invention relates to a method and apparatus for deriving information for establishing telecommunications calls.
Modern digital switches, such as the 5ESS� switch manufactured by AT&T, and described, for example, in the AT&T Technical Journal, vol. 64, no. 6, July/August 1985, pages 1303-1564, have substantial flexibility for offering a large class of services. However, there is a class of services which, in general, require substantial amounts of data for the customers using these services which, because of the structure of the software for controlling the switch, can only be implemented at great expense. The software structure of the 5ESS switch and other similar modern digital switches normally keeps all data associated with an active customer in the dynamic memory used for serving a call. Therefore, such services as require a large amount of memory cause a large amount of dynamic memory to be used whenever a customer having the service originates a call.
Another class of services which cannot be processed economically by a 5ESS switch are services in which a customer's speech is recognized and interpreted in parallel with a detection and interpretation of customer dialed digits, since processors are typically dedicated to performing either digit detection or speech recognition. As one example, a telephone provided for a customer who may have physical impairments would allow emergency requests such as fire, police, or ambulance services, to be detected in parallel with the detection of normal digits as dialed by a companion of the impaired individual. Clearly, the repertory of conventionally dialed digits is very much larger than the repertory of emergency services.
Speech recognition systems for use in telephone switching systems are known in the prior art. Such speech recognition systems, for example, allow a person to speak a number or to speak key words such as an emergency command and to have this emergency command or spoken number converted into a telephone number for the setting up the call. Such systems are limited because the recognized speech is converted into telephone numbers in a standardized way.
Another example would be a service to allow a customer to activate or change any of the customer's business or residential features (e.g., call forwarding service) from a remote telephone. Normally, customers can only change the call forwarding number from their own telephone because of the possibility of pranksters diverting calls from the customer by activating a call forwarding number and perhaps forwarding the calls to themselves. What is needed for such a service is an arrangement whereby a careful screening including, for example, a personal identification number is used in conjunction with a dialogue between a switch and the remote customer to verify the identity of the remote customer.
Another example would be a service to record the numbers of unanswered calls and to automatically supply one of these numbers to a switching system to establish a call to that number in response to a spoken command.
Accordingly, a problem of the prior art is that there is no flexible arrangement for recognizing speech and customer dialed information for conversion into customized dialing requests.
The above problem is solved and an advance is made over the prior art in accordance with the principles of my invention wherein a customer is connected in parallel to a dialing receiver and to an intelligent peripheral system, the intelligent peripheral system comprising data storage, digit reception and transmission facilities, and, optionally, speech recognition facilities. The intelligent peripheral normally simply monitors the voice path to the customer, and if supplied with speech recognition equipment, also checks to detect if any special speech requests have been made. In a departure from the prior art, when a critical condition is detected, the intelligent peripheral sends a seizure signal to the switch in response to which the switch connects digit reception means to the intelligent peripheral and thereafter substitutes digits received from the intelligent peripheral for digits that might have been received from the customer. Advantageously, such an arrangement permits the digit interpretation program of the switch to be used to implement the services provided through the use of the intelligent peripheral. These services are performed on behalf of the customer by the IP.
In accordance with one specific implementation, the intelligent peripheral signals to the switch via a seizure signal such as a WINK signal (i.e., an inverse wink) for an analog trunk connecting the intelligent peripheral to the switch or the equivalent common channel signaling signal for the case of an intelligent peripheral connected via a common channel signaling trunk. The digits are transmitted from the intelligent peripheral using either dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) signaling for an analog trunk or the normal digit signaling facilities of a common channel signaling trunk. The digits, as received, are processed as if these digits had been received from the calling customer.
In accordance with an alternative implementation of applicant's invention, the intelligent peripheral is connected through a basic rate interface or primary rate interface of an integrated services digital network (ISDN) facility. The arrangements for signaling seizures and digits over such a connection are used to transmit the seizure request and the digits provided by the intelligent peripheral.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system using the principles of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a flowchart of actions performed in the intelligent peripheral; and
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of actions performed in the switch.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system for implementing an exemplary embodiment of this invention. Telephone switching system 1 is connected to a telephone station 4 and to an incoming trunk 10 and an intelligent peripheral (IP) 3 or an IP 6 connected via an integrated services digital network (ISDN) link to the switch. While telephone station 4 is pictured as a DTMF station, it could also be a station having a rotary dial. Inside the switch is a digit transmitter/receiver or transceiver 2. The transceiver means of the 5ESS� switch can receive dial pulse or DTMF digits and transmit DTMF digits. (For convenience, the act of receiving dial pulse digits and transmitting corresponding DTMF digits will be referred to hereinafter as converting from dial pulse to DTMF digits.) When the customer originally lifts his or her handset, or the switch detects a seizure on incoming trunk 10, the switch connects the customer station or the incoming truck digit transceiver 2. If the customer has a class of service which entitles him or her to the use of the services of an IP, then switch 1 also connects the customer to an IP 3. The connection to the IP is over a truck which can be a simple analog truck. The IP then monitors signals from customer station 4. In this specific embodiment, the signals are a combination of speech signals and dialing signals. In other embodiments, only dialed signals or only speech signals would be used. The speech or dialing signals can be in response to prompting announcements from the IP. Based on the speech and/or dialing signals, the IP recognizes the need for the services of that IP, and the switch ignores digits received by the transceiver. Dial pulse digits received by the transceiver are internally converted and transmitted to the IP as the corresponding DTMF digits. Such transceivers are commonly used in the 5ESS switch and are well known in the prior art, and are a convenient way to provide both the receiver and the transmitter functions. In that case, while DTMF digits corresponding to the customer's dial pulse digits are being transmitted to the IP, a connection from the IP to the customer is reserved, so that the customer can subsequently be connected to the IP to provide additional information thereto. After the IP recognizes that the customer has completed providing speech and dialing signals, the transceiver 2 is disconnected from customer station 4. The IP then transmits digits to transceiver 2 and the switch interprets these digits as if they had been received from station 4. After the switch has recognized that a complete set of digits has been received, the IP disconnects or, after a timeout, is disconnected from the switch and the call is set up from customer 4 in accordance with the received digits. In some cases no call is set up; the string of digits may represent a request such as a request to forward future calls which does not require a connection.
If the IP is connected via a trunk that uses common channel signaling, a connection is initially set up to the IP. Then the digits that the IP generates are transmitted over the voice channel of the trunk. The program of a processor means (not shown) in switch 1 then treats the digits embedded in the common channel signaling message in the same way that it treats digits received over a simple analog trunk in receiver 2.
The IP is the unit which recognizes that it must supply the digits required for executing a requested action by the customer. The IP signals to switch 1 that it has made this determination by sending a seizure signal commonly known as a WINK to switch 1 to alert switch 1 that the IP will supply signaling information to switch 1. In case the trunk is a common channel signaling trunk, the seizure signal is sent as a Common Channel Signaling message but is interpreted in the same way as a WINK signal.
An IP 6 can be connected to switch 1 over an integrated services digital network (ISDN) link using, for example, a basic rate interface (two bearer or B-channels and one data or D-channel) or a primary rate interface (23 B-channels and one D-channel). The ISDN IP 6 receives information from customer station 4 over a B-channel in the same way as IP 3 receives information over trunk 9. However, the ISDN IP 6 can transmit information to switch 1 over a D-channel of ISDN link 8 instead of transmitting digits to a receiver means 2, or can transmit the digits as tones over a B-channel. However, the digits transmitted over the D-channel are interpreted by the control program of switch 1 as if they had been received in receiver means 2 and are treated as if they had been dialed by calling station 4.
Advantageously, the IP is supplied with recording equipment for recording the numbers of callers of unanswered calls, as received via automatic number identification, and, optionally, for recording messages from such callers.
For convenience, the intelligent peripheral is shown as one unit. In practice the memory and processing resources of an intelligent peripheral means are likely to be shared among interfaces for such means for providing speech recognition, (i.e., recognition of spoken elements) recording, voice recognition (i.e., recognition of the identity of the speaker) and announcement services; this is done partly for economy, and partly so that recorded data may be available to any of a plurality of intelligent peripheral means.
While in this illustrative embodiment, the IP signals to the switch using dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) signaling, other modes of signaling such as data messages could also be used, with the results being transmitted to the receiver. The term receiver as used herein refers to the actual digit receiver plus the program and data storage associated therewith to collect digits or characters keyed by a customer or supplied from the intelligent peripheral means.
FIG. 2 illustrates actions performed by the IP. Initially, the IP is bridged to the dialing connection from the customer to a digit receiver (action block 201). The IP monitors signals from the originating customer in order to detect if action by the IP is required (test 203). If such action is required, then the IP generates a seizure signal, i.e., WINK, (action block 205) for transmission to switch 1. The IP analyzes the customer's digits and/or speech and, if necessary, gives prompts to the customers to elicit needed information. The information from the customer is analyzed and converted into a digit stream for effecting the customer's wishes (action block 207). The digits of that stream are then sent back to switch 1 (action block 209). Thereafter, the IP disconnects (action block 211). If test 203 positively determines that no action is required of the IP, then the IP disconnects and is available to serve another call.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating actions performed in support of the IP by the switch. These actions are performed under the control of processor means in the switch (not shown), the processor means operative under the control of a program stored in memory of the processor means. Initially, the switch receives a service request and the customer is connected to a digit receiver (action block 301). The switch determines, using translation information for the customer who has made the service request, whether that customer may require the use of an IP (test 303). If so, then an IP and a receiver are bridged to the customer (action block 305). Then the system tests whether the customer is a dial pulse customer by checking whether any dial pulses have been received from that customer (test 315). If not, the switch passes along additional digits from the customer (action block 317). If the customer is a dial pulse customer, then the transceiver 2 forwards DTMF digits corresponding to dialed digits from the customer to the IP (action block 319). If a WINK is received from the trunk connected to the IP (test 320) then the receiver accepts characters, including digits and other characters such as * or #, from the IP (action block 321).
Call processing continues using the characters from the customer or from the IP as appropriate (action block 311). When it is discovered that dialing is complete, if the IP had been connected for this call, then this IP is disconnected (action block 313).
Another class of services which is not handled efficiently in a local digital switch, is that class of services which requires that a customer enter substantial quantities of data, in response to prompts. For example, if a customer is setting up an abbreviated dialing (speed calling) list, it is desirable to prompt the customer as the customer enters additional data. Such prompting arrangements and arrangements for absorbing large amounts of customer-dialed data are not handled efficiently in local switching systems. However, the prompting arrangements of the IP are well-suited to this task.
This arrangement can be used either universally on all calls, in order to detect spoken emergency commands immediately from any phone, or it can be arranged to provide premium service to customers who will pay for such service; in the latter case, only the premium service customers are initially connected to the intelligent peripheral. With the use of this intelligent peripheral, a number of services can be offered.
1. Each customer may be provided a small list of directory numbers corresponding to particular spoken phrases. The phrases may be recognized on a speaker-independent basis, in which case, the phrase spoken by any speaker will be recognized, or they may be provided on a speaker-dependent basis, in which case, information concerning speech signals are stored for a particular speaker.
2. The IP can be programmed to recognize spoken phrases to identify specific services, such as emergency services (e.g., "fire," "ambulance," "police"), with immediate connection to the appropriate service provider.
3. The IP can be programmed to guide a customer by prompts in order to set up call forwarding or automatic recording of a conversation in response to dialed or spoken information received by the IP.
4. The IP can be programmed to guide a customer by prompts to enter abbreviated dialing (speed calling) lists, in response to information dialed or spoken by the caller.
5. The IP can be programmed to recognize specific voices as a method of verifying the identity of an originating or incoming caller. The voice recognition can be used, for example, to insure that call forwarding is only initiated by a properly identified and authorized individual.
6. The IP can also be used for providing remote access to change a call forwarding number. The authorization for the remote access can be on the basis of a personal identification number or voice recognition.
7. Incoming call screening can be performed on the basis of an additional PIN, in order to make sure that calls are completed only from people properly authorized. This arrangement permits the equivalent of easy changing of an unlisted number, since the owner of the unlisted number can change the PIN at will, thereby making the number inaccessible to all who do not have the new PIN.
8. The IP can be used for queuing calls and giving the queued calls appropriate announcements to inform them of their status. The calls can be queued with or without a call waiting tone, and existing calls can be placed in the queue with an appropriate hold command.
The connection to the intelligent peripheral may be made in one of three ways. (1) It can be made for all calls (and this can be further broken down into all incoming calls, and/or all originating calls). (2) It can be made for calls originating from customers with a special class of service indication; for this case, the service can be invoked or turned off by the customer's dialing special invoke or revoke codes such as 1* and 1#. (3) It can be made for all calls identified by an appropriate preliminary set of digits. For example, all originating calls with an initial indication of one or more of *, #, **, or ## could automatically be routed to the intelligent peripheral for further dialing analysis. Similarly, all incoming calls to a directory number with final four digits 0000 (not normally used) could be routed to an IP.
It is to be understood that the above description is only one of preferred embodiment of the invention. Numerous other arrangements may be devised by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention is thus limited only as defined in the accompanying claims.

I love using straws! The little decorative bubbles on the sides are really cute!ReplyDelete
Glass straws? Hmmmm.. Never heard of these. My kids love straws but we've always just used the plastic ones. This is a 'green' alternative huh?ReplyDelete
I'd never heard of glass straws either, but they're pretty awesome and work just as well as plastic ones except you re- wash them and keep using and they do not bend.ReplyDelete
Wow -- I've never even heard of glass straws. Totally learned something new today. I wonder if they break easily??ReplyDelete
Robin @ Pink Coupon Cafe
It says on the website that during normal uses of these glass straws, they should not break. If dropped on a hard surface, they could crack if not careful.ReplyDelete
I have these I love them!ReplyDelete
Glass Straws?! Never heard of a such thing LOL Thanks for the review.ReplyDelete

I love these straws! I really want to get some! Thanks for the review!ReplyDelete
We love them so far, but I make kids hand them to me so they do not drop them. We've used them in milk, water, soda so far to sip from.ReplyDelete

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans to defy the United Nations resolution that bans his country from building settlements in land claimed by the Palestinians.
"Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolute at the U.N. and will not abide by its terms," Netanyahu said Friday, via a statement released by his office following the controversial resolution approval.
The statement went on to tear into the U.N's Security Council, which was the body behind Friday's anti-Israel resolution.
"At a time when the Security Council does nothing to stop the slaughter of half a million people in Syria, it disgracefully gangs up on the one true democracy in the Middle East, Israel, and calls the Western Wall 'occupied territory," Netanyahu's statement said.
More from the Washington Examiner:
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power similarly faulted the U.N. for targeting Israel with a barrage of hostile resolutions in explaining why the United States would not vote for the resolution. But the ongoing construction of settlements in disputed Palestinian territory, she said, justified allowing it to pass without a veto. "Our vote today is fully in line with the bipartisan history of how American presidents have approached both the issue and the role of this body," Power said.
Although Obama's advisers maintained that his team did not make a final decision on whether to veto or abstain from voting on the resolution until Friday, Netanyahu accused them of "colluding" with Israel's enemies at the U.N.
Similarly, Netanyahu tore into President Barack Obama for his "gang up" on Israel and "collusion" with the United Nations.
The U.N's actions have caused a large uproar in the U.S., which is traditionally very, very friendly with Israel and considers the country one of it's few real allies in the unstable Middle East.
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is so distraught with the U.N's actions that on Saturday he called for all U.S. funds to be stripped from the international body.

The fabulous gals over at Matilda Jane Clothing sent Jules some more items to review on the blog, as well as another $50 gift card giveaway! So perfect for Christmastime!
For those who didn't see my last one, and saw how I was oooing and awwwing and drooling over everything, you can check it out here.
For those that don't know my
It's the best. There - all done.
Just kidding, but seriously, it's what I put Jules in 90% of the time. And the new Paint by Numbers collection has become my favorite. There are so many beautiful pieces! She gets compliments wherever she goes, the clothes last forever (literally, her girls may wear it too) and the clothes are made to mix and match and go from season to season!
An example: Take the Turtledove Knot Top. Here I have it paired four different ways:
You can change out the undershirt and leggings for a completely different look. And do you see how "spring/summer" the top left is by just adding pastels? This is why I love Matilda Jane. It can last forever! I bought a 4 in this top. My sister-in-law, whose daughter is 9 months old. She bought the 2! I can understand how that seems odd, but she'll wear it as a dress for a couple of years, then wear it as a top after that. Fabulous!
Matilda Jane sent me a few items to review, but since I love this collection so much, I thought I would also review some other pieces from the collection that I also currently own. And if you want to see some other pieces from Paint By Numbers, please go check out my last post - I have several other pieces on there as well. My only advice for you is know that their items tend to run a little bigger than normal. And thats ok. I like that because it gives Jules several seasons to wear something before she grows out of it. Apologies for the pictures. It's now too cold to go outside for modeling!
|The Shasta Bubble top in Jester Red. I wasn't sure about this one, and thought about sending it back. But OMG I truly love it!!! Again, take off the red undershirt and pair with light colored capris in the springtime!
|I love, love this set. Adore it. The leggings go with SO MUCH.
|I reviewed the Turtledove top already, but we wear is so much - Jules just loves it! Here we have it paired even differently than the four ways I showed you above. (Also - LOVE these legging!)
|Here is a super comfy but super cute look. It honestly feels like pajamas but looks like a million bucks. How sweet is this little casual outfit?
P.s. Jules is quite, quite obsessed with our nativity scene, hehe. She has been since she was teeny!!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
I was given items for review and giveaway, but opinions expressed are my own

Discusses how a distinctive 'European' identity has grown over the centuries, especially with the EU.
Fifteen essays written by government advisors as well as university professors in anthropology, history, political science, and social science address the question of whether there is a collective "idea" of Europe as a political and cultural domain. Ranging in time from the ancient world to the present, topics include "Europe" in the Middle Ages, the European citizen according to Max Weber, and Muslims and European identity. Annotation c.

NC Commerce Secretary Visits Brunswick Manufacturing Facility
NC Secretary of Commerce John Skvarla visited the Victaulic manufacturing facility located in Leland Industrial Park Friday morning to congratulate the company on its recent growth.
The Secretary's visit coincides with Victaulic's expansion plans to accommodate a new product line at their Leland facility. Secretary Skvarla congratulated Victaulic on the addition of the new product and noted the concerted efforts of Facility Operations Manager Michael Reives in bringing the product line to the Leland facility. He complimented Brunswick County for its ongoing support of existing industries, in addition to its efforts to recruit new facilities.
"The highlight reel is the 80-yard touchdown pass, but at the end of the day, it's the 50 and the 20 jobs day in and day out that makes us great," said Secretary of Commerce John Skvarla. "Eighty-percent of North Carolina's employers are small businesses. And we've lost sight of that fact, when 18 new jobs is huge.
"These are the kind of jobs that have a lot more stability. The Governor and I are absolutely devoted to making sure that our small- and medium-sized businesses get access, not only to the training and the resources, but to the capital they need. Everybody wants the headline and I want to look back in five years and say, 'Wow, we're just as solid as a rock.' And you're just doing it one step at a time. Everybody is reading off the same page in the handbook. It's amazing how powerful we are when we play together. And we've seen massive transformation just in the last few years."
Reives thanked Secretary Skvarla on behalf of Victaulic for visiting the facility. He also thanked Jenni Harris with the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, Brunswick County leaders and Brunswick Community College for their support and assistance with the expansion.
Brunswick County Director of Economic Development & Planning Mike Hargett echoed the Secretary's congratulations and stated that he was very impressed with Reives' innovative approach to remain competitive in a global environment.
"It's really great that Victaulic has been here 25 years," said Commissioner Pat Sykes. "The development of new products in Brunswick County and being shipped globally is outstanding. Our local small businesses are the backbone of our county and our state."
"It's exciting to see these businesses in Brunswick County innovating and growing and creating jobs," said Commissioner Frank Williams. "While it's important to recruit new businesses, it's also important to support existing businesses. We are thankful for Secretary Skvarla for coming to Brunswick County and seeing what is going on in our county."
Victaulic provides innovative piping systems, technologies and services through its 14 major manufacturing facilities and 29 branches worldwide. The Leland facility was established in 1990 and currently has 120 full-time and 23 part-time employees.
Hotel, Mini-storage Facility On The Way To Leland
Officials in the growing town of Leland expects tourism business to expand along with its population. Recently, tourism and business leaders have been traveling to other areas in the U.S. to encourage more visitors to take advantage of the northern Brunswick County town's features.
"We just came back from Washington, D.C. promoting golf in the area, and we go next Thursday to Cleveland to promote golf in the area," said Dana Fisher, executive director of the Northern Brunswick Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center, on Thursday. "Then we'll go to Pittsburgh in March. We're trying to get people coming down that generally go to Myrtle Beach that will stop here and play golf."
New hotel rooms will help in the efforts by Fisher, the Leland Tourism Development Authority and others to highlight golf courses, among other attractions, in and around Leland. A new golf course is expected to open at Compass Pointe in May, and the Wells Fargo Championship golf tournament, a stop on the PGA Tour, that will be held at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington in May 2017 is expected to fill up hotels from Myrtle Beach to Jacksonville.
Fairfield Inn planned for Leland
Published: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 4:38 p.m.
LELAND -- A Fayetteville developer plans to bring a 90-room Fairfield Inn to Leland, he said Wednesday.
Rajan Shamdasani and his son-in-law, Manoj Bhatia, want to build the four-story building next to a 75,000-square-foot Ultimate Storage building also being built by Bhatia and his wife, Shelley. The properties will be at 1214 and 1218 Westgate Drive, near the Walmart and Best Western.
After planning the storage facility, the family realized they had three extra acres of land. Following some research, they settled on a hotel, which town officials said is indicative of the demand in the area.
Internet Assessment Underway in Brunswick County
In view of the growing importance of internet service for business and for residential use, Brunswick County formed a Task Team of community representatives to assess the availability and demand for internet service throughout the county. A key element of the assessment effort is a community survey being conducted between February 1 and March 18.
The attached brief survey will assist the Task Team in identifying deficiencies and possible ways to improve the availability of service. The results of the survey will be shared with internet service providers to identify ways to improve service throughout the county. In addition to common internet uses like checking email or social media, the survey is intended to address current or possible future uses like online text books for students, medical record access for patients, telecommuting (working from home) and global business connections.
The survey is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VS6M5TB or by sending the completed survey by mail to Brunswick County Planning, PO Box 249, Bolivia, 28422; by email to firstname.lastname@example.com; or, by fax to 253-2437.
For additional information, please call 253-2033.

Sales In Some Brunswick Neighborhoods Broke Records In 2015
As new residents continued to flock to parts of southeastern North Carolina from colder states, some Brunswick County communities broke home-sale records in 2015.
On the southern end of the county, St. James Plantation celebrated one of its best years "since the start of the 21st century," with nearly $60 million in sales and more than $80 million in new home construction, said Dan Kingsbury, vice president of sales and marketing.
"We continue to benefit from the continuing migration of retirees from the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic to the North Carolina Coast," Kingsbury said in a news release. "We expect that trend will continue to drive sales for the foreseeable future as more of the [baby-boomer] generation reaches retirement age and starts thinking about leaving the snow and cold weather behind."

text: A few weeks ago I put CM6 on my HTC Magic. Initially it was great, the battery seemed to last forever compared to the 1.5/Sense I switched from. Gradually though, it started shortening down, to the point where if the phone was just sleeping through an 8 hour day in my desk, the battery would be less than 20%. My first step was getting rid of widgets. I had a lot of them, and many of them updated frequently. The facebook widget in particular seems to constantly try to update. Next, I got rid of my task killer after doing some reading on Froyo's self-task-killing processes and why task killers are a bad thing in 2.2. Finally, I realized that by running with WiFi turned on constantly used a LOT of battery. If the phone was sleeping all day long, the WiFi would use as much as the "cell standby" process. So things have improved. Last night before I went to bed, I plugged in and unplugged my phone (to reset the unplugged counter). The battery was at 70% charge. When I got up this morning, it was down to 15%, over 10h 1m 37s. Cell standby used 95%, Phone idle used 3%, and Display the other 2%. That's 55% drained over 10 hours of only standby. That still seems like a lot to me, though much better than it was. Any tips on what else I could check and rule things out before I decide my phone's physical battery is just aging? EDIT: My phone is just getting to the 1-year-old mark.

Call in Dr. Who, he knows the trick.
Color walls with brighter color's and try to make your place clutter free...avoid adding too much furniture's
it would be helping if you installing one side of walls with mirrors , as i did too .
If you paint the ceiling in a lighter color then the walls it will make it look taller and less stuffy, like in my a room in my home my walls are a type of brownish tan... (the color is called Carpenters Puddy) and the ceiling is white.
You need to decorate with light colors vs dark colors and open your blinds or curtains so that the sun can shine in.

I can't believe the winter months are over and the sun will be shinning once again. Winter months always fly by for me because it is my favorite time of the year. I really hate 100+ degree weather, nope summer is not for me. (I'm beginning to think that California might not be the place for me) In winter you can keep on adding layers to keep warm but in the summer there is only so much you can take off before it's inappropriate.
With it being such an amazingly beautiful day a bike ride was a must.
This is the beginning of my spring outfits, what do you think?

A. This color is definitely normal and indicates the presence of pigment, possibly related to blood or liver breakdown products or infection. Highly concentrated urine can appear dark if she has not been well hydrated and if she is in good form otherwise you could increase her water intake by offering flavored water (boil a little chicken or fish and offer her the water; no stock or salted flavors) and monitor for resolution of signs. Any increased frequency of urination, increased color or smell or any discomfort urinating would need investigation. If she is not neutered she may be coming into heat which could result in a colored discharge

text: I am thinking of replacing the line on my Hardy Zenith. I am looking at an 8 wt floater. I cast an old Sage RP rod 896. Two things come to mind. I might replace the Hardy with the new Sage 4200 8wt reel. and I am looking at the Rio fly lines. I have always used SA lines so I know little or nothing about the others. Your comments, please.

MDM - The Book
Master Data Management, written by David Loshin, is a book that equips you with a deeply practical, business-focused way of thinking about MDM—an understanding that will greatly enhance your ability to communicate with stakeholders and win their support. Moreover, it will help you deserve their support: you'll master all the details involved in planning and executing an MDM project that leads to measurable improvements in business productivity and effectiveness.
• Presents a comprehensive roadmap that you can adapt to any MDM project.
• Emphasizes the critical goal of maintaining and improving data quality.
• Provides guidelines for determining which data to "master."
• Examines special issues relating to master data metadata.
• Considers a range of MDM architectural styles.
• Covers the synchronization of master data across the application infrastructure.
The book has 13 chapters:
Chapter 1, Master Data and Master Data Management, introduces the historical issues that have created the need for master data management, describes both "master data" and "master data management," begins to explore what goes into an MDM program, and reviews the business value of instituting an MDM program, along with this overview of the rest of the book.
Chapter 2, Coordination: Stakeholders, Requirements, and Planning describes who the MDM stakeholders are, why they are relevant to the success of an MDM program, and what their expected participation should be over the course the program's development.
Every organization exhibits different levels of maturity when it comes to sharing consolidated information, and Chapter 3, MDM Components and the Maturity Model, provides a capability model against which an organization's maturity can be measured. By assessing the organization's current state, considering the level of maturity necessary to achieve the organization's objectives, and determining where the organization needs to be, one can assemble an implementation road map that enables action.
Master data management is an enterprise initiative, and that means an enterprise data governance program must be in place to oversee it. Governance is a critical issue for deploying MDM, and in Chapter 4, Data Governance for Master Data Management, we discuss how business policies are composed of information directives, and how data rules contribute to conformance to those information directives. We'll look at what data governance is, introduce data stewardship roles and responsibilities, and propose a collaborative enterprise data governance framework for data sharing.
No book on MDM would be complete without a discussion of the value of data quality, and Chapter 5, Data Quality and MDM, examines the historical evolution of MDM from data quality to its reliance on high-quality information. This chapter provides a high level view of the data quality components and methods that are used for the purposes of master data integration.
The key to information sharing through an MDM repository is a solid set of data standards for defining and managing enterprise data and a comprehensive business metadata management scheme for controlling the use of enterprise data. Chapter 6, Metadata Management for MDM, discusses data standards and metadata management and explores how master metadata is managed.
As part of the process, it is necessary to identify the master data object types and determine the data assets that make up those object types across the enterprise. In Chapter 7, Identifying Master Metadata and Master Data, we look at the process of identifying and finding the data sets that are candidates as sources for master data and how to qualify them in terms of usability.
A core issue for MDM is creating the consolidation models to collect and aggregate master data. Chapter 8, Data Modeling for MDM, is where we will look at some of the issues associated with different source models and how to address data modeling issues for MDM.
There are different architectural paradigms for master data management, and in Chapter 9, MDM Paradigms and Architectures, we look at existing application and information architectures and different architectural styles for MDM, how they all reflect a spectrum of implementations, and the pros and cons of each of those styles.
Given a model and understanding the sources of master data, the next step is the actual process of data consolidation and integration, and Chapter 10, Data Consolidation and Integration, looks at collecting information from across the organization and formulating that into the integrated master data asset.
The power of MDM increases greatly when the master data can be integrated back into the existing application environment. Chapter 11, Master Data Synchronization, discusses the needs and approaches for synchronizing data back to the existing applications.
The value of MDM does not lie solely with the integration of data. The ability to consolidate application functionality (e.g., new customer creation) using a services layer that supplements multiple application approaches will provide additional value across the existing and future applications. The topic of a functional application services layer is covered in Chapter 12, Master Data Management and the Functional Services Layer.
The book concludes with Chapter 13, Management Guidelines for MDM, a summary of the guidance provided throughout the preceding chapters to inform management decisions. To address the ongoing management issues, we offer some management guidelines for transitioning the project from developing the business case to maintaining a successful program.
