The present invention relates essentially to a burner system in particular with a high exit speed or exhaust velocity of the burnt gases, comprising a central hearth tube forming a combustion chamber into which the mixture of combustible gas or gaseous fuel and of combustion-supporting gas such as air is admitted, a tubular element coaxially surrounding the hearth tube thus forming an annular space thereabout through which the combustion-supporting air to be admitted into the hearth tube is flowing, the latter being advantageously formed at the burnt gas outlet end with a reduced portion to increase the outflow speed of the gases.
In known burners of this kind, the hearth tube forming a combustion chamber as well as the other components of the burner are made from a suitable metal, for instance of steel.
A major inconvenience of the burner of this type is due to the chemical and thermal behavior of the material of the hearth tube which prevents the achievement of a satisfactory heat efficiency of the burner and is inconsistent with the high temperatures produced in the combustion chamber, if particular, complicated and expensive measures of thermal protection are not taken. Another major drawback of the known burners consists in the excessive rate of production of nitrogen oxide.
The object of the present invention is to provide a burner system of the type in particular with a high outflow velocity of the burnt gases, which does not suffer from the substantial inconveniences of the known burners which have just been stated.
To reach that goal, the system according to the invention comprises a burner which is characterized in that the hearth tube is made from thermomechanical ceramic, in that the outer tubular element comprises at its end located towards the gas outlet a radially restricted or narrowed portion, shoulder or flange which forms an axial and radial positioning stop or like abutment for the hearth tube and in that the assembly of the latter with the other component parts of the burner is carried out under the effect of a means likely to produce an axial pressure force under the impact of which the hearth tube would bear against said stop or abutment through a radial shoulder provided in its reduced portion or neck.
According to an advantageous characterizing feature of the invention, the hearth tube defining the combustion chamber comprises a predetermined number of air feed planes which are axially offset or shifted in the direction of flow of the burnt gases and of the type providing a tangential introduction of air in counter-rotating relationship so as to produce a stepwise or staged combustion for decreasing the rate of production of nitrogen oxides.
According to another advantageous characterizing feature of the invention, air feeds located in a first plane substantially at the gas feed are adapted to provide for an incomplete and not very strong combustion, the air feeds located in a second plane in counter-rotating relation to the air feeds of the first plane are adapted to accelerate the combustion so that the air-to-gas ratio be about the stoechiometric value whereas the air feeds in a third plane are adapted to terminate the combustion.
According to still a further advantageous characterizing feature of the invention, the burner comprises an outer tubular shell providing an annular space about the tubular element surrounding the hearth tube which allows the recirculation of the burnt gases after their flow through a heating device advantageously of the glove finger-shaped radiant tube type with recirculation.
According to still another advantageous characterizing feature of the invention, in a burner according to the invention of the regenerative type, the aforesaid tubular element consists of an advantageously finned heat exchange tube separating the combustion air flow from the gases circulating in counter-current relation to the air flow.
According to an advantageous characterizing feature of a system according to the invention with a burner of the regenerative type, the radiant tube comprises an outer casing tube the axial extension of which forms the aforesaid outer tubular shell of the burner and an inner ceramic tube positioned in axial extension of the hearth tube of the burner and consisting of a number of sections axially interconnected through flexible pivotal connecting means.
The invention will be better understood and further objects, characterizing features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly as the following explanatory description proceeds with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings given by way of non-limiting examples only illustrating several presently preferred specific embodiments of the invention and wherein:

FIG. 10 is a view in axial section of another embodiment of the burner according to the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a burner with a high outflow speed of the burnt gases according to the present invention. This burner essentially comprises a hearth tube 1 made from thermomechanical ceramic which defines the combustion chamber 2 of the burner and exhibits a simple shape with a reduced portion or neck 3 at the outlet end for the burnt gases to impart a strong momentum to the combustion products at their exit from the burner. On the side opposite from the outlet 4 defined by the reduced portion or neck 3, the combustion chamber 2 is closed by a transparent disc 5. A tubular element 7 coaxially surrounds the hearth tube 1. This tubular element 7 comprises at its end positioned towards the outlet 4 for the burnt gases a radial restriction or narrowing which forms an axial positioning stop or abutment 8 for the hearth tube 1 which coaxially surrounds the reduced portion or neck 3 thereof. The hearth tube 1 bears against this stop or abutment 8 through a radial annular shoulder 9 provided in the reduced portion 3 with the interposition of a sealing joint, gasket or like packing 17. The tubular element 7 also coaxially surrounds a tube 10 which is placed in axial extension of the hearth tube 1 on the side of the closure disc 5 of the combustion chamber. The tube 10 has the same diameter as the hearth tube 1.
On FIG. 1 which shows a burner according to the invention shaped as a regenerative burner, the tubular element 7 is made as a heat exchanger from refractory alloy with fins 11. This heat exchanger is made up of sections having each one a certain length, for instance 90 mm, which are welded to each other. An outer tubular shell 12 and a tube section 13 which is arranged in the axial extension of the tube 11 coaxially surround the heat exchanger 7. At their confronting ends, the tubes 12 and 13 are provided with flanges 14 and 15, respectively, which allow the connection of the tubes to each other with the interposition of a sealing joint, gasket or like packing 16 and the fastening of the burner to a wall diagrammatically shown at 18 for instance of a furnace or oven. The space defined by the tubes 12 and 13 is closed on the side opposite to the hearth tube 1 by a tubular casing element 19 which is positioned in the axial extension of the tube 13 and is closed at its free end by a wall 20 extending at right angles to the centre line axis of the tubular assembly. The confronting ends of the tube 13 and of the casing element 19 are provided with connection flanges 21, 22, respectively. It is seen that the heat exchanger 7 is kept at its end opposite to its stop nose 9 for the positioning of the hearth tube between the flanges 21 and 22 by radially outwards projecting members 23. The tube section 13 is provided with a branch piping 25 for the discharge of the burnt gases whereas the casing element 19 is fitted with a branch piping 26 for the feed of the combustion air. It is seen that the heat exchanger 7 separates the combustion air flow streaming into the burner 26 from the burnt gases which are circulating in counter-current relationship and are flowing out of the burner through the branch pipe 25.
The feed of the gases is provided by a supply tube 27 which extends along the centre line axis of the tube 10 from the wall 20 of the casing element 19 into the combustion chamber 2 through the transparent disc 5. The gases would flow into the chamber 2 through holes or ports 28 for instance six in number which are angularly distributed on the duct forming a gas pipe 27 near its end. The pipe 27 carries at its end a high voltage ignition device. The earth electrode shown at 29 is welded to the pipe whereas the high voltage electrode designated by the reference numeral 30 is located along the centre line axis thereof. It consists of a rod made from a refractory alloy and placed within an alumina sheath. The gas is supplied to the pipe 27 through a duct 31 formed in the wall 20 of the casing element 19. This wall 20 comprises windows 32 transparent to the ultraviolet radiations so as to allow to see the flame by means of an ultraviolet sensing or detecting cell.
In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, a coil spring 33 is arranged inside of the burner and has the function to provide for the assembly of the hearth tube 1 made from thermomechanical ceramic inside of the burner by its axial pressure force alone. For that purpose, the spring is interposed between the free end of the tube 10 and the wall 20. Under the action of the pressure force exerted by the spring 33, the hearth tube 2 and the tube 10 are kept axially aligned in registering relationship, the hearth tube 1 bearing with its shoulder 9 upon the stop or abutment 8 provided in the nose of the heat exchanger 7. Under the action of the spring 33, the hearth tube is positioned in axial and radial relationship within the nose of the exchanger through its reduced portion or neck 3.
In the embodiment shown on FIG. 10, the means for assembling the hearth tube 1 made of thermomechanical ceramic through an axial force within the burner essentially comprises two annular magnets 48, 49 one 48 of which is arranged on the tube 10 at the open end thereof whereas the other magnet 49 is mounted on the end wall 20 of the shell of the burner. Both magnets 48, 49 are located in confronting relationship in the axial direction of the burner so that their ends with the same polarities be axially opposite to each other to produce an axial repelling force providing for the assembly of the various component elements of the burner.
On FIG. 10 has been shown in discontinuous lines another possibility of assembling with the assistance of magnet means. In that instance, one single magnet shown at 50 would be sufficient. This magnet is arranged on the outer surface of the tube 10 near a metallic member made fast or integral with the shell of the burner on the tube side opposite from that co-operating with the hearth tube 1. The stationary metal part consists advantageously of the members 23 of the heat exchanger 7 which extend at right angles to the centre line axis of the burner. It is easily understood that the assembling force consists of the attractive or pulling force provided between the ring-shaped magnet 50 and the metal members 23 of the tube 7.
Referring in particular to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5, the specific structural means of the system for supplying combustion air into the combustion chamber are described hereinafter.
On FIG. 1, the hearth tube 1 comprises three air feed planes P1, P2 and P3 which are axially spaced from each other. Each plane comprises a number of tangential holes 35 which are located in a same plane extending at right angles to the centre line axis of the hearth tube and allow the intake of the gases from the heat exchanger 7 into the combustion chamber 2 along substantially tangential paths of travel. According to the embodiment shown on FIG. 3, the hearth tube comprises five air feed planes P11, P12, P21, P22 and P3. In these two embodiments of the hearth tube 1, all the air is injected into the combustion chamber 2. In the embodiments shown on FIGS. 4 and 5 which also comprise three and five air feed planes, respectively, the feed plane which is remotest from the bottom or end wall of the combustion chamber, i.e. the third plane on FIG. 4 and the fifth plane on FIG. 5, comprise holes 36 which are provided in the nose of the burner and allow to inject the combustion air directly into the flame at the outlet 4 of the combustion chamber after the reduced portion 3.
As to the air feed holes, it is seen that the first air feed plane is located substantially at the gas inlet ports 28 of the gas pipe 27. In the embodiment with three air feed planes according to FIG. 1, both first planes P1, P2 in the direction of motion of the fluids consist of four tangential holes, the holes of one plane being angularly offset or staggered for instance by 45° with respect to the holes of the other plane and are tangentially oriented in opposite directions. The third plane P3 located at the nose of the burner comprises eight tangential holes angularly distributed in a reverse direction with respect to the holes of the plane P2. In the embodiment with five air feed planes according to FIG. 3, the four planes P11 to P22 exhibit each one four tangential holes regularly distributed about the centre line axis of the hearth tube 2 and oriented in opposite directions from one plane to the other one. The fifth plane P3 located at the nose of the burner comprises eight tangential holes oriented in the opposite direction from the holes of the plane P22. In the embodiments shown on FIGS. 4 and 5, the planes of air feed holes extending throught the wall of the hearth tube 1 comprise each one four tangential holes 35 regularly distributed around the centre line axis of the tube. The holes of one plane are angularly offset or staggered with respect to the holes of the other plane for instance by an angle of 45° and are oriented in the tangential direction reverse from that of the holes of the adjacent planes. The last air feed plane adapted to inject the air directly into the flame at the outlet of the burner comprises eight holes 9 which do not extend through the wall of the tube as shown on the Figures.
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of a high voltage ignition device according to the invention. It is seen that in this embodiment the duct 27 forming a gas pipe is fully open at its end located inside of the combustion chamber 2. The gas feed is therefore performed axially thereby permitting to dispense with or to omit the radial holes 28 according to FIG. 1. The high voltage electrode shown at 30' now extends in parallel relation to the pipe 27. To provide for its correct and reliable positioning, it is retained by an insulating alumina tube 48 which surrounds it coaxially and extends through the transparent disc 5. The earthed electrode consists advantageously of the pipe 27.
This embodiment of the ignition device allows the detection or sensing of the flame directly by means of a suitable control cell fitted into the wall 20 of the shell element 29. Unlike the embodiment shown on FIG. 1, the ultraviolet waves or radiation emitted by the flame would not travel through the end wall or bottom of the combustion chamber 2, i.e. the disc 5, in order that the flame may be controlled. This would permit an effective control of the flame even in the case of a darkening of the end wall or bottom of the combustion chamber by polluted gaseous fluids.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 to 8, that part of the heating system with recirculation of the burnt gases which is located in the axial extension of the burner and forms a glove finger-shaped radiant tube will be described. At 12 is shown the outer tubular shell 12 which also surrounds the burner device. This tube 12 axially surrounds an inner tube 38 made from thermomechanical ceramic and which consists of a number of axially aligned sections which are connected to each other in pivotally movable relationship by means of flexible or yielding connecting means. Each one of these means is made as a ceramic sleeve or bushing 39 coaxially surrounding the ends of both adjacent tube sections, respectively. The radially inner surface of such a sleeve 39 comprises in the middle of its length an annular collar which projects radially inwards and fits between both ends of the sections to be interconnected. The inner diameter of the cylindrical collar 40 corresponds essentially to the inner diameter of the tube sections 38 whereas the outer diameter of the annular collar is a little greater than the outer diameter of the tube so as to leave some radial play or clearance. The inner surface portions 41 located on either side of the collar 40 have a diameter which gradually increases towards the ends of the sleeve. The increase in diameter is determined so as to enable the various sections to follow through a suitable axial offset the creeping motion of the shell tube 12 made from a refractory metal alloy. Each sleeve 39 comprises on its outer cylindrical surface ribs 42 for centering within the outer shell 12. The first and the last tube sections 38 comprise at their ends centering ribs 43 and U-shaped cutouts or ears 44 formed in the cylindrical wall of the section between any two centering ribs 42. The inner tube 38 thus built up is open at both of its ends thereby allowing the circulation of the burnt gases flowing out of the combustion chamber 2 into the tube 38 and into the annular space provided between the inner tube 38 and the shell tube 12 in the way shown by arrowed lines. It is further seen that the tubular shell 12 is closed at its end remote from the burner by a closure member 45 adapted to be fitted into a wall for instance of a furnace or oven diagrammatically shown at 46.
Owing to the provision of the ears 44, the radiant tube may be used even in vertical position. As a matter of fact, the ears provide for an adequate circulation of the combustion gases even though the last tube section 38 is bearing upon the end wall or bottom of the shell subsequent to an axial displacement of this section or of several sections. For that purpose, the axial half length of a section 39 should be greater than the sum of the axial plays or clearances between the tube 38 and the adjacent elements and the various sections.
Since the tube sections 38 according to the invention have constant inner and outer diameters throughout their lengths, it is possible to adapt the tube to any useful length by merely cutting the sections or one section to the desired length or building up a tube from a number of standard modules of differing lengths.
The operation of a burner with a high outflow speed of the gases and of a self-regenerative burner of this kind as well as the operation of the glove finger-shaped radiant tubes being known, it is only necessary to hereinafter describe those aspects which are specific to the invention.
It should at first be pointed out that in the burner according to the invention, the mounting of the metal alloy parts and of the thermomechanical ceramic hearth tube by the axial pressure force alone produced by the spring 33 provides an optimum solution which fully removes any problem which might arise on account of very different thermomechanical behaviours of these two types of materials. In the radiant tube, the assembly through pivotal connection of the various tube sections 38 made from thermomechanical ceramic allows to avoid the problem set by the heat deformations to which the outer tubular shell 12 is subjected. The specific structural features of the invention therefore take quite well into account the coefficients of expansion and the thoroughly different behaviours at high temperature of the various component parts of the system according to the invention. The latter makes it possible to use parts made from thermomechanical ceramic in the hotest portions of the system. These materials indeed would accept operating temperatures of 1,400° hence 300° to 400° more than in the burners with a high outflow velocity of the burnt gases which are presently known and in which even the hearth tube and the inner tubular element of the radiant tube are made from refractory steel. The invention makes it possible to fully recover the heat from the burnt gases by providing an effect of preheating the combustion air. At last, the shape of the hearth tube 1 according to the invention makes it possible to substantially reduce the rate of production of nitrogen oxides as will be set forth hereinafter. To achieve the reduction of the rate of production of nitrogen oxides according to the invention, use is made of the fact that the generation of nitrogen oxide in accordance with the ratio of the amount of combustion air actually admitted into the combustion chamber to the stoechiometric amount of air required for an instantaneous complete combustion would vary according to a bell-shaped curve, the rate of nitrogen oxide being maximum when this ratio is equal to 1. According to the invention, the problem of the reduction of the rate of production of nitrogen oxide is solved by providing a combustion in steps or stages within the combustion chamber 2 owing to the various combustion air feed planes which are axially offset in the direction of flow of the gaseous fluid within the chamber, the air feeds being arranged in counter-rotating relationship from one plane to another one. The gas is introduced radially into the combustion chamber.
In the burner according to the invention, in a first stage or step, the gas is mixed with the combustion air flowing into the chamber at the first plane according to FIGS. 1 and 4 or at the two first planes according to FIGS. 3 and 5 and which is driven or pushed against the wall of the combustion chamber 2 by its being set in rotary motion by the tangential feed holes or ports 35. With this first mixture is initiated or started the combustion which is incomplete and not very strong. In a second step or stage, i.e. at the second air feed plane according to FIGS. 1 and 4 or at the third and fourth planes according to FIGS. 3 and 5, the air is added in counter-rotating relationship to the burning mixture thus inducing a substantial stirring motion. This would result in substantially accelerating the combustion while keeping an air-to-gas ratio substantially different from 1 so as to reduce the production of nitrogen oxides. In a third step or stage, the combustion would end by the supply of air in the last air feed plane still set into rotary motion and driven or pushed against the wall by the tangential holes or, in the case of FIGS. 3 and 5, by injection of the air into the flame at the outlet of the burner. This tangential air arrival on several axially offset levels into the combustion chamber 2 makes it possible on the one hand to achieve a complete combustion within a chamber of restricted volume owing to this strong stirring motion induced by the air feeds moving in counter-rotating relationship and, on the other hand, to reduce the production of nitrogen oxides by carrying out the combustion in steps or stages.
Burnt gases which would be exhausted or are issuing from the burner at a high speed are injected into the inner ceramic tube 38 which consists of a number of sections freely connected by coupling sleeves 39 which allow an axial offset between adjacent sections for instance by a few degrees so as to not impair or interfere with the creep and the deformations of the tubular shell 12, these coupling elements allowing, owing to their ribs 42, to position and to center the inner tube 38 within the tubular shall 12. The ear-like cutouts 43 at both ends of the inner tube 38 would promote the recirculation of the burnt gases.

Shankars Nanban has got another addition to its crew in the form of Raghava Lawrence after the case of Anuya the mystery woman was solved earlier. Raghava Lawrence will be playing the millionaire kid earlier played by Javed Jaffrey in 3 idiots.It's is from him Jeeva and Srikanth come to know the real story about their friend's (Vijay) childhood spent as a destitute servant boy and from here they head in search of Vijay who is shown teaching in a school in Ladakh. This role was earlier offered to Prasanna who could not assign time for the project and the director.
Meanwhile Director Shankar and composer Harris Jayaraj have boarded flights to London to compose rest of the songs for Nanban. It may be recalled that Harris has completed one of the songs already and many are saying it is equivalent to the song title track "All Iz Well".
Director Shankar who already expressed his delight working with a young team will now be looking forward to his second schedule to commence from 25th of this month.
Now Raghava Lawrence's presence on the sets will surely spice things up even more.

Creative marketers not always found in marketing realm
There are some brilliant marketers out there. Here's an example. My local community college pays professors (freelance) per class. While the college gets about $250 per 3 hours credit course, the teacher gets about $1,000 per semester for teaching the class.
The video production professor had a brilliant marketing scheme. Instead of a one semester course, he or she broke each class into a six weeks course – which is allowed at the school. So as the English or algebra teacher gets $1,000 for a semester, this marketing genius is getting $3,000 for the same amount of time and effort. Brilliant!
Get this, there's also a $40 lab fee – per course – added. So instead of making $250 for the college, this marketing genius is bringing in $750 plus $120 in fees. Before we raise the praise flag, there are no books required for this course. As one online reader noted, an algebra book, which has been taught for centuries, sells for $150 at this community college. Nice profit. So this professor needs to find three textbooks that can be sold for $100 each – three classes. Then he or she will be the most valuable professor to this college.
Sorry to disillusion those who thought colleges were for education. They're in business to make money like any other organization – even non-profits. What a surprise the organization you donate to is in business to make money. Shocking. Their business is to make you feel good and fleece you of your hard earned money.

of Article 40 and 41, should have the same status as a British
officer in respect of any offence committed against them and the
provisions in Article 43 regarding damage caused during such operations
will require primary legislation to enable their implementation
in the UK.
8. Some of the Schengen provisions on judicial
co-opertion (Articles 50, 64, and 66) will require implementation
through primary legislation relating to mutual legal assistance
in fiscal matters and to streamlining of extradition procedures.
Primary legislation will also be needed to implement the Schengen
provisions for the transfer of the enforcement of criminal judgements
(Articles 67-69).
9. Participation in Schengen, and particularly
in the SIS, will bring additional data protection requirements.
The Government is continuing to give these careful considertion
to assess whether the Data Protection Act 1998 provides a sufficient
legal base or whether any additional requirements need legislative
or administrative changes.
10. The Government will also wish to clarify,
in negotiations within the Council, the legal force of the various
Articles, Decisions and Declarations of the Schengen acquis in
which participation is sought, in order that they can be transposed
correctly into UK law.
11. The Government of Gibraltar has been
consulted over the extent to which the proposed participation
in the Schengen acquis should apply to Gibraltar. The Data Protection
Registrar has also been consulted over the role envisaged for
her in the application.
12. The application is part of the UK's
policy of positive involvement in JHA co-operation. The Republic
of Ireland has indicated that it will submit shortly an application
in similar terms. Participation will lead to closer contacts with
European Union partners, particularly at operational level. Through
participation in the SIS, the UK will be able to exchange information
about wanted or missing persons and vehicles across Europe more
effectively and efficiently than is currently possible.
13. With regard to Articles 40 and 41 (cross-border
surveillance and hot pursuit), the Government does not anticipate
these provisions being put to extensive practical use. The only
land border across which these provisions will apply is that with
the Irish Republic, and the UK will work closely with the Irish
government to set out precisely how these provisions would be
implemented, should Ireland seek participartion in this area also.
Although cross-border surveillance will extend to the UK's continental
European neighbours, it is anticipated that cases without prior
authorisation will be rare, given the scope for advance notice
which the nature of travel to the UK provides.
14. As the Government does not intend to
participate in the provisions on external borders, or in Article
96, there will be no policy implications in terms of persons deemed
inadmissible to the UK.
15. The principal financial implication
arising from the UK's participation in Schengen will be with respect
to the SIS. As well as start-up and running costs for the UK section
of the SIS, the UK will also be expected to contribute to the
original costs of setting up the SIS, although no commitment has
yet been given to the expenditure involved. The precise nature
of our participation in the SIS, and the consequent financial
costs, will be subject to detailed discussion during the negotiations
on the application. It is not possible to provide a precise estimate
of the costs, which the UK is discussing with interested parties,
including the police service, but if we joined in 2001 it would
be in the region of £3.3 million.
16. Funding will also be required for the
equipment needed at the National Sirene; lines to the Central
Sirene; such local terminals as are installed in the different
agencies; and the relevant connections. This has not been costed,
as much will depend on the type of equipment involved and its
compatibility with existing equipment, as well as decisions by
the different agencies as to the number of local terminals they
17. There will also be financial implications
arising from the new tasks which participation in the Schengen
acquis will impose on the Data Protection Registrar. It is estimated
this will amount to 10 days a year of senior staff involvement,
start up costs of between £6,000 and £9,000 and running
costs of between £22,000 and £34,000.
18. The next stage in the application process
will be the issue of an Opinion by the Commission. The Government
expects this to take place shortly, after which the application
will be discussed within the Council framework. The Government
hopes that significant progress on the application will have been
made by the time of the Tampere European Council in October 1999.

Come Monday, like he's been promising for months, Mayor Charlie Hales will take on the mantle of a big-city executive mayor and personally oversee every single city bureau for the next three or so months. (And a hat tip to the Oregonian for dipping into the media's limited allotment of Charles in Charge jokes in also recognizing the approaching milestone this morning.)
That takeover—ordered in the name of crafting a less-parochial budget, a budget redolent of financial antiseptic instead of the usual amount of political grease—would be daunting for any mayor. But Hales is biting off an especially big challenge after trimming his staff to half the size fielded by former Mayor Sam Adams.
Which is raising a question in city hall: Will Hales' team, swamped by having to sign off on ordinances and contracts and minutiae at the same time as they look for at least $25 million in cuts, wind up needing help?
Hopefully not, says Hales' spokesman, Dana Haynes. At least not yet.
Despite mutters that Hales' office has asked city bureaus to send over "loaner" employees to help manage the technical aspects of running nearly 30 city offices, Haynes says his boss wants to go it alone as long as he can.
"Once that workload starts," he says, "we are all cognizant of the fact that this is going to be a quantum shift in responsibilities around here. We're prepared if we need somebody. But we haven't asked anyone yet."
Admittedly, it's a slightly persnickety issue. But people in city hall are paying attention. Hales has mined both goodwill and controversy in cutting his office budget, saving the city about $1 million. Adding employees to his office—even if their salaries are paid from bureau budgets—could undercut the symbolic value of his personal austerity.
Of course, that shift would also be temporary. Also, while those "loaners" could otherwise be doing their regular jobs in their home bureaus, the opportunity cost of leaving those jobs undone, especially during the chaos of budget season, is probably negligible.
And the staff cuts? Those would remain permanent. As Haynes wryly pointed out.
If Hales' chief of staff, Gail Shibley, does issue the call, Haynes says, "We have some desks and spaces available from Mayor Sam Adams' old crew. If we need them, we have cubicles."

engineering costs and environmental hazards, such as endangering fresh water lakes and rivers, ultimately sink most of those plans. Similarly, road and rail links don't often pan out, either. For example, it would take 20 to 30 trains to transport containers from a single ship.
So it came as a real shock when, in February, China and Colombia said they wanted to build their own substitute. They intend to create a rail link connecting Colombia's Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
A 136 Mile 'Dry Canal' in Colombia
At first blush, the proposition sounds like one giant waste of money. After all, the 50-mile long Panama Canal Railroad operates just north of the proposed construction site.
The plan calls for 136 miles of track between the Pacific Ocean and a new city near Cartagena. There, imported Chinese goods would be assembled for re-export to the Americas.
More importantly though, it would act as a convenient place from which to ship Colombian raw materials to China. And it serves as yet another example of China's aggressive efforts in its fellow emerging nations.
The Asian nation has put a number of other transport links on the table. And it's done so in such a way as to benefit Colombia, with its creaking infrastructure.
In essence, China is taking advantage of a diplomatic misstep by the United States. Washington keeps stalling a free trade agreement – for four years now – despite the two countries' close relationship.
So in a fit of pique, Colombia is turning to China instead, allowing trade between them to soar. It amounted to just $10 million in 1980 but soared to $5 billion last year.
That makes China Colombia's second-largest trade partner after the United States. This works for the country's President, Juan Manuel Santos, who says: "Asia is the new motor of the world economy."
The Reasons Behind China's Colombian Railroad
Despite cost issues, China's Colombian tracks do make sense. Because China is interested in a very specific goal…
It needs vast quantities of thermal coal for its power stations and coking coal for its steel industry. Colombia, the world's fifth-largest coal producer, has both in vast quantities.
Better yet for China, some of those high-quality mines lie close to the Caribbean end of the proposed rail route. It therefore becomes much cheaper to carry coal by train to Colombia's Pacific ports.
That means the plan won't serve as a larger shipping link between the two oceans. Both China and Colombia intend it to be much more exclusive.
Colombia has every reason to say, "Yes," considering its problems with guerrillas and drug-related violence in its very poor, coal-rich eastern region. And as it diversifies itself away from its prior dependence to the United States, the route will only add to the country's growth.
To take advantage of this situation, investors can look at two ETFs:
- Global X FTSE Colombia 20 (NYSE:GXG)
- Market Vectors Colombia (NYSE:COLX)
Both should do well as the nation expands.
Good investing,

Duran Duran Film Coming to Theaters for One Night Only
Thu, 14 Aug 2014 10:23:43
Duran Duran Photos
Duran Duran Videos
Grab the popcorn, the Milk Duds and the 32 oz. Dr. Pepper!
Duran Duran will take over U.S. movie theaters on Wednesday, September 10 for a one-night-only showing of the film Duran Duran: Unstaged, which showcases the band's concert at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles, which was part of the "American Express Unstaged" concert series that celebrated the band's All You Need Is Now album and world tour.
Screenvision in alliance with Phase 4 Films will screen the film in over 300 locations.
The film was directed by the inimitable David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr.) as part of the "American Express Unstaged" series.
Lynch didn't just film live footage, since that would have been so zzzzzz of him. Instead, he captured the band's performance in a groundbreaking, creative way that will provide fans with a visually stunning in-theater viewing experience.
When it was originally filmed, the director layered images that he had created in advance of the show —live action, animation, special effects and more— on top of the band's performance footage as it was being filmed live. The technique created an ocular event unlike anything ever seen before.
Special guests at the show included Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Beth Ditto (Gossip), Kelis and longtime collaborator, Mark Ronson.
Watch the trailer below.
And go here for ticket info.
Anyone plan to see Duran x 2 x David Lynch in theaters on September 10?

SPRINGFIELD — The Edwardsville High girls swim team rolled to its second consecutive sectional swim championship Saturday at the Springfield Sectional meet at Eisenhower Pool. The Tigers knocked off runner-up Chatham-Glenwood 305-204 in the team race.
Following Glenwood was third-place Springfield with 198 points, Sacred Heart-Griffin with 133, O'Fallon 130, Springfield Southeast 46, Jacksonville 12 and Jacksonville Routt 8.
Only teams with full-season varsity swim teams are eligible to compete for the sectional team championship.

Edwardsville's Kate May and Bailey Grinter will each swim in four events at the state meet. Each grabbed pair of individual sectional championships and swam on two state-qualifying relay teams as well.
May, a senior, won the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 2:08.06 and was also first in the 100 butterfly in 57.05 seconds.
Grinter, a junior, was the champion in the 50 freestyle in a time of 23.58 and won the 100 backstroke in a time of 57.31.
Edwardsville junior Victoria Brady will advance to the state meet after her first-place finish in the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:56.46.
Tigers diver Taylor Seilheimer, a sophomore, will also advance to state after her first-place finish with a total of 353.30 points.
Elizabeth McPherson of Edwardsville also qualified for the state meet with her runner-up finish to Grinter in the 100 backstroke in a state-qualifying time of 58.02.
May and Grinter were joined by Elizabeth McPherson and Caroline Carton in winning the 200 medley relay in 1:48.03. Grinter, Jane Russo, Sahar Rabiei and Victoria Brady won the 200 freestyle relay in 1:38.68.
May, Caton, Brady and McPherson teamed up to post a state-qualifying time in the 400 freestyle relay in their second-place finish behind Chatham Glenwood, which won in 3:35.34. The Tigers' runner-up time was 3:36.19.
Other state meet qualifiers included Springfield's Caitlin Tierney in the 100 freestyle and 50 freestyle, Glenwood's Sharon Kok in the 100 freestyle, Glenwood's Alexis Preski in the 500 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, Springfield's Haley Rivera in the 200 IM, Springfield's Camryn Milling in the 100 butterfly and Columbia's Sydney Rey in the 100 backstroke.

Construct a frame made of chicken wire and wood. Make it large enough for children to hide in. It will become their own special place. Plant pole bean seeds around the perimeter and allow them to grow over the frame. Mystery Garden
Mix together different types of seeds. Plant them in the garden and see what comes up! Identifying the plants teaches children about plant structures and characteristics.
Initial Garden
Let the children spell out their initials or a message with lettuce seeds. Hint: use twine, to mark your letters clearly.
Don't forget that every garden needs a scarecrow. Kids love to build scarecrows using old clothes and a wooden frame.
If space is limited, allow children to grow plants in window boxes or other containers. There are patio tomatoes that grow beautifully in pots. Sunflower plants give a lot of return for a small investment. They are sturdy, fascinatingly tall and product mammoth flowers that can be saved and put outside in winter for the birds. Another fun idea is growing tomatoes, upside down!
Many experiments can be done in the garden. See how plants react to growing in the shade instead of the sun. Try growing a tomato with and another without fertilizer. Which one will get larger? Look for, or house, beneficial garden partners, such as ladybugs, praying mantis, frogs, etc.
If you are particular about the appearance of your vegetable garden, give the children a spot of their own where they can be messy if they want. Let them learn what will happen if they don't plant in a straight row, or if they let the weeds get out of hand.
Enjoy growing together with children. Let them experience the love you have for gardening. It will be a pleasure they'll have with them for the rest of their lives!
Please share your fun gardening tidbits! We would love to hear your stories!

How to Create a Caring Classroom
It is specified by the researchers that student achievement increases when they feel comfortable in their learning environment. A caring classroom is not only full of comfort but it also allows the teacher to spend more time in teaching and less time in managing students disagreement. Creating a caring classroom starts on the very first day of school. The first thing which a teachers should do is to create establish a warm and caring atmosphere inside the classroom. It is also important to make an atmosphere of trust where students can feel free without any tension that their classmates will make fun of them. From very beginning, you make it clear to the students that they should maintain the decorum in the class. At the same time it is important to have a good classroom management, establish both team and class spirit. Teacher must make the proper seating arrangements for the students in cooperative way.
During the first few week of the school teachers spend plenty of time in encouraging team spirit. For the better result they make the random teams and change the team daily. It enables the students to know each member of the class and participate with lots of team builders. There are certain things which teachers should do on regular basis like conducting daily class meetings. In this session students can share about their lives, team building games, can discuss about the issues that come up in the classroom and they can enjoy too. When teachers are praising the students they should praise the effort not the talent. There are different category of student in which one category put lots of effort and time to complete their assignment but the other category don't spend much time, they only use little bit of their time and they make the assignment easily. Teachers show the students right away that they value those two traits. In the class, teacher should follow only unbiased policy otherwise it will spoil the environment. Nothing will spoil a classroom community faster than writing names on the board, using a divisive and competitive "table tallies" reward system, or lobbing threats at your students.
Teachers really have to care about the students if they want to create a caring classroom community. Apart from all this teachers should not make assumption that how students will react to particular things. For this type of issue you can use role play. Just spend 15 minutes in discussing the certain topic. "What should we do if a classmate drops a tub of markers all over the floor?" "What should we do if someone gets hurt or sick at recess?" "What should we do if two people want the same cool new book off our classroom bookshelf?" "What should you do if something good happens to someone else (and not to you personally)?" "Does being first in line really matter?" This type of discussion will be helpful in maintaining good environment in the school and will make the students think in a matured way.
Best wishes to all teachers to make the classroom a place where children learn kindness as well as academics.

The Detective kept himself seated nearest the head of the conference room, not wanting to stand up but out of respect for all and the man entering, he stood up and waved his hand to everybody, it was really just one wave to the entire room as he introduced himself. "Hey kids..." He didn't sound amused for the day, but he did give a short lived smile. "My name is Detective Reagan, and my family and I recognize me as one of those..." He honestly wasn't too acquaint with his powers as he liked to get to the nitty-gritty and down and dirty of things, but it was his preference, before speaking up again. "That EZP.. ESP?... Agh, that Extra-Sensory crap, and I got recommended, so, here I am.." He went silent before nodding at the Captain. "Pleasure." He would simply say. "I'm guessing I'm ya' partner?.. Or, 2nd L T, or whatever?" Referring to his questions.
Jonathan was given the information via text from an unknown number. He arrived at the station right on time, may a bit late. Despite this, he walked around back and went in. The building was rather dull, but it was solid. Nothing set it apart from any other builing in that area, but it worked. He found his way to the conference room and found others already inside. Unsure of what to make of this group of people, Jonathan just ignored them. He took a spot in a corner, away from everyone else. For the most part he didn't recognize any of them except for the one girl. She was a rival drug runner, who he ran into a few years back. He decided to let her go without a confrontation. From then on, he saw her around. The talked on occassion, but nothing major. To be honest, he actually forgot her name. That wasn't unusual. He forgot names left and right. If the person wasn't memorable, why try to remember their names. Instead just smile and nod. Glancing around, Jonathan spotted another person he recognized. It was a cop. The guy was seated. Dressed in a casual suit, the man took little notice of Jonathan as he walked in. The cop wasn't someone he was aquainted with, but his face was familiar. Yes, he was one of the guys on the streets. Jonathan remembered the few run-ins and then turned his attention to the other person in the room. She was very pretty, but looked less than 18. Despite that, she had an air of sophistication. Jonathan wasn't too keen on that. He rather dispised formalities and manors. Once he looked over everyone in the room, Jonathan allowed his mind to return to a more pressing manor...this teaming up thing. Jonathan wasn't sure what to make of this strange team of people. Obviously, the police were grabbing at air because there was no way, in his mind, that this would work. But he was always up for a challenge.
Standing with his back against the wall, Jonathan waited along with everyone as he continually survayed the room. For the most part there was silence. No one knew what to say to each other, if anything at all. Jonathan thought about talking wiht Sonique, but heh decided agaisnt it. They didn't wait too long before a guy walked in. He was mixed race from what Jonathan could see, but he was definitely running the joint. As he spoke Jonathan sighed heavily. Introductions...nuisence. Despite his opposing feelings, he spoke up, "Jonathan Clarke, telekinetic." He didn't feel like he needed to say more. If they wanted to know more about him, they could find it themselves. There was no need to explain his being there to them. The one who needed that information already had it. From the first guy's introduction it was obvious that he was going to be one of the more advanced when it came to his powers. Jonathan kept his eyes trained on Detective Samir. His eyes were cold and calculating as he took in the surroundings. Jonathan knew that this was going to be interesting to say the least.
Sonique had arrived at the quaint building a bit earlier than necessary, though that was more due to her strong desire to increase the distance between her life now and her life on the streets all the more. When she had walked in the only other person there was the man that had helped her clean up her life, and probably the reason she was even on the team in the first place; Detective Reagan. Giving his a slight wave and a smile she sat down near the middle of the right side, a place that would normally demand attention yet she hoped it didn't. She began adjusting the cinching belt around her powder blue blouse as she waited.
As the other two members entered the room, she startled a bit at the presence of Johnathan. She had not known that the drug runner would be here in the slightest and she was understandably wary, considering the interactions they had in the past. None the less, she tried to focus on the meeting. Until Detective Samir entered the room, Sonique knew she was the tallest in the room, even without her black four inch heels on. As she waited for the three men to give their introductions she decided she would go next.
"My name is Sonique McMicheals, I'm a medium." She said proudly as she stood to her full, adjusted height of six foot five.
"I don't see why you have to work as a detective. I know you love mysteries but you're putting your life on the line!" The woman spoke with worry clear on her face but Alexandra never lifted her eyes from the book in front of her, even when she put a fork full of cake into her mouth. Alex has known the woman, Jenna, for a few years.
"Stop complaining Jenna, you've known I was going to do this for a long time," Alexandra huffed with a role of her baby blue eyes, not hesitating to put another fork of cake into her mouth. The sweet warmth of the freshly baked cake melted on her tongue. For work today Alexandra decided on a casual yet professional. A while cotton shirt that hugged her torso nicely, a navy blue blazer, gold diamondless rings on her right hand as well as a real large golden bracelet. The dark blue pencil skirt was actually comfortable to wear as it stopped a few inches above her knees, black open toed heels giving her 4 inches more of height.
Jenna bit her bottom lip as she looked at her complicated friend, someone even she didn't understand completely. It wasn't because she didn't talk about her past often but the way she reacted to things or spoke made many people think that Alex was cold hearted. Which Jenna had thought when she had first met Alexandra. When Alex had smiled at her, a very rare time, it showed Jenna that Alexandra wasn't as emotionless as others thought.
"Oh... I'll be late if I don't leave soon," Alex stood up when her plate was empty of all crumbs and chocolate marks, taking one last sip of her hazelnut coffee she stood up. Long blonde hair swinging around her shoulder in its low ponytail.
"Ok, I'll come over tonight for the details," Jenna shrugged just as Alex placed a small kiss on Jenna's cheek before she left. Alexandra was still uncomfortable with affection towards others but a small kiss on her friend's cheek before leaving was practice. Which she had started early in the year... last year.
Alexandra left the bakery/cafe with her book under her arm, ignoring the few looks people sent to her. It took her a 10 minute walk to the PIA building and when she went in, the cool air from the morning air seemed to slip away. Her cheeks were pink from being barred to the cold but it didn't stop her from entering the room she had been pointed to.
"Uh... hi," Alex gave a small movement of her hand that looked like a wave but it only involved two fingers before she decided to take a seat on an empty chair.
"Oh yea, I'm Alexandra Dulce. Telepath," Was the end of her introduction before she leaned back in her seat and opened the book from where she left off in the cafe. 'A Dance for the Wicked' a book that was about a woman who lived in a deceitful world and instead of hiding in fear decides to make her way to the top in the business world. To knock down all those who had tried to trick her or guide her in the wrong direction. She herself turned into one of the most wicked within the book.
(Lol no, its not a real book)
Samir arched an eyebrow at Alexandra as she began to read her book in the middle of the briefing. He waved to the others that had introduced themselves as he walked over to her, taking the book from her hands and closing it, setting it down on the table.
"Miss Dulce, this is your work, not your home. In the future, unless you don't enjoy employment, I'd suggest saving the recreational reading for times when you aren't being paid. We're underpaid, but we're still profressionals in our field."
He walked back to the head of the room and leaned on the back of his chair.
"So unless anyone else needs a reminder about how to act at work, let's get down to talking about what you all should expect here and with our first case. Here at the Thunder City Psychic Devision, we tackle cold cases, cases the regular police department can't solve, and incidents involving other psychics. For now, it's just us, although we can and will receive backup from non-psychic officers and support personnel. As you saw in your hiring packet, we will generally not be the first line of action in SWAT cases and actively dangerous non-psychic subjects.
"Our work is more concerned with tracking subjects whose trail has gone cold, who has hostages or is involved in other situations that require expedited resolution, or subjects of moderate to severe psychic ability. We will face situations, usually, less overtly dangerous than the regular PD. However, that doesn't mean you all are going to get out of the same PT as everyone else. You'll start that tomorrow afternoon and work on it concurrently with cases.
"As for the case at hand, the reason we hired all of you, the Candy Lane Killer has taken another elementary school student named Monica Bellator, and her sister, June Bellator" he said, switching on the powerpoint to display an apple-cheeked brunette girl of about about eight and a blonde of about nine.
"The history of the CLK spans about eight years with fourteen confirmed victims and another possible four. Their normal MO is to abduct the child, usually a bus rider or walker, after school on field trip or late assembly days when their lateness raises less suspicion. The child's body is usually found a few days later dressed in elaborate, handmade costumes. This is the first instance of a pair being taken, so we're hoping at least one is still alive since the abduction was the day before yesterday.
"Before we go into the field, however, I have to give you guys a test run on the dreamspace tech and how to access the Shared Interstitial Dreaming Environment, or SIDE."
He opened the large black case on the table and removed five thin, white headbands with black interiors.
"Fancy stuff, these. They help create a singular psychic interface environment powered by the subject and supported by us. The subject designs the features of the environment and the events therein, and we provide the power and framework for it to be accessed by all of us. The SIDE bands are tools that help create a more reliable and ready connection between all of us. All you have to do it put them on and press the little button on the inside here, and they'll begin working. However, we all have to work together to actually enter the dreamspace. For the purpose of this test, I'm going to play your subject and wear the red band."
"Before we get started, any questions? And yes, Detective Reagan, you're my partner. We're all partners on this team, meaning we all work together and nobody slacks off or hogs the hero light."
Alexandra had completely forgotten and while she knew it was rude to read during work, she couldn't help but pout a bit. That was a really good book and she was at a very addicting part. Pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear, Alex paid attention and made mental notes. Luckily for her she practically had a photogenic memory... or just able to remember really well. What her boss said easily made sense but when the white bands were brought out she narrowed her eyes. Alex might trust most of technology that was out but putting something electrical her head? What if there was a malfunction that happened during an important case and she became brain dead? While being able to read the thoughts of others, having her mind turned into a slushy seemed far worse. With a lot of in the bank to keep herself on a machine to keep herself alive, there would truly be no point in it at all.
Seemed this would be a harder job after all because Alex was sure she had no other option but to go through with this.
Leaning forward she continued to pay attention, raising her eyebrow when he said he would be the test dummy. Well, subject but pretty much a test dummy. Alex had heard about this though and while her curiosity was buzzing, she wondered how exactly she was supposed to help.
"I have a few questions: 1. Will we have specific partners? For when we split up to do different work for investigations or does it only matter who's paired up to who for different cases? 2. Can you please take special care of the book? It was quite expensive. 3. What exactly are our parts in this? 4. Do the parents, or those involved, know that there are psychics helping them?" Alexandra named off the first few questions that had popped up into her mind. Hopefully nothing was going to be to difficult but so far it all actually seemed really simple.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Where exactly will we be starting for this case? Has there been any recent finds of evidence or anything that can help? DNA, blood, " That was the important question that was bugging her since he began to explain the first case they had. Though Alexandra always felt awkward or uncomfortable around children, they seemed to have a small soft spot in her heart. Alex figured it was just natural feelings that most women would feel. A motherly instinct... well as motherly as a childless woman could be. Which is why children only had a small spot in her heart. Other then that she truly couldn't understand how they could be so loud, energetic and strangely kind. Pure. They were far to young to have to go through such a thing but there was nothing she could do about it right now. Alexandra is a telepath, not meant to change ones fate if destiny wishes for it to happen.
It was taking a while. Or atleast to him. The fact that he had to "Prove" himself in order to be a police officer? He couldn't fine the word, but Danny thought of it a bit overrated. Danny spoke up with a hint of annoyance in his voice, first talking about how that woman, that Alex girl, was reading her book. He turned his head over to her, scratching his head before speaking up in a silent yet annoyed tone. "Y'know uh.. On duty personnel don't exactly read up on a book until they're off duty, y'know? It kinda makes the job a bit harder to do."
He gave a simple chuckle, not of arrogance, but just from a simple enjoyance of the situation. That is, until the Captain produced some white bands that were supposed to make a simulation. Now Danny really was becoming annoyed. First he spoke about this Candy Lane Killer, that was more important to find than a damned simulation. He had just begun to take this personal after his own sons were lost. "Listen, Cap'n, I think it'd be a damn lot more easier if we figured out the killer for this case before we do an investigation. We find the killer, we do the simulation after. It's much more important to get him off the damn streets where he can.. Kill another three kids before his reign is over!" He kept silent for a fee moments before speaking once more.
"In what types of areas is this 'Candy Lane Killer' taking the kids? Little town, forest walks, off the sidewalk in the bad side, what?" He then kept his mouth shut for the moment being after a moment of annoyed silence, the situation slowly coming more and more onto him. He silently grumbled to himself in response to the Captains remark on all of them being partners "Not what I meant..." It seemed he was more in tune with what Alex was speaking about, with individual partners, just like they used to do.
Jonathan was still standing in the background. He kept his head down as he listened to the others talk. This was all a bit new to him, so he decided to listen and take notes. As the group began to voice their concerns, Jonathan looked at the headband. Part of him wanted to take it apart right now and see how it worked, while another wanted to just crush it to bits. Both ideas weren't exactly right for this moment in time. The more he listened to the conversation the more he had to agree with the Detective and the book reader. With his head down, Jonathan kept listening. He had no intention of actually speaking up, while his mind made comments, 'This Candy Lane Killer sounds interesting', 'why children, why here', 'what high did he get off of killing these kids', 'what's with the headbands', 'why do I have to participate in this', 'I thought I was just going to be an informant', 'what's with these people they're rather irritating'...
As his mind continued to think and wonder about what his role was, the headband began to levitate. Subconsciously, Jonathan was moving the headband and starting to take it apart. Unlike his usual tinkering, this dismantling was precise and deliberate. The small screws were hovering beside the band as the entire headband came apart. Wires and circuits were here and there while the covering stayed in the air. It was as if the entire device was just expanded to see the inside workings. All this happened as Jonathan thought about the other questions and comments he had towards the Captain and the others. His mind was off somewhere else as his powers worked with his subconscious, doing his bidding. Jonathan wasn't currently thinking about dismantling the headband, but that was something that fascinated him.
"Those are all good questions," Samir replied, turning his own Sideband over in his hands and not rising to Danny's annoyance. Indeed, it seemed to bother the lanky man very little, the only hint at his temper being the subtle tightening of his jaw.
"We are doing orientation, Daniel, precisely because if we do not, you'll all be useless to me. Knowing how to work the Sidebands is critical to our work, and knowing what we are supposed to be doing is critical to catching the unsub. If you want to run out blindly waving your pistol, I'll kindly take your badge now."
He was quiet a moment before clearing his throat.
"Now, as for the kidnappings, the children are being taken somewhere between when they leave school and before they get home. This suggests the killer watches them for awhile beforehand, knowing who has parents that wait at the bus stop and who doesn't. Most of the kidnappings are taking place along the east side; neighborhood quality seems to be middle and low income, people who can't afford to stay home enough to pick up the kid or wait for them--"
Samir stopped abruptly, turning to look at Jonathan as the parts of the Sideband floated in front of him.
"Put it.back.together," Samir ground out, his voice like tectonic plates grating past each other. "Now."
Taking a deep breath and repeating a silent prayer for sanity, Samir regained most of his formerly cheerful demeanor.
"As for partners, we all work together unless, in very specific circumstances, we have to split up. This is not kindergarten, we aren't working in pairs. The parents do know the TCPD is cooperating with local police. And our parts in this, as I just explained, are to catch the killer. Now, if we're all done having outbursts, reading, and taking apart very expensive department equipment, we are going to run our first dreamspace to give you all a feel for how it works. Once inside you'll receive further details on how to navigate. For now, here are the basics:
Together, you each use your different psychic powers to construct the environment I'll run. Telepaths gather the information needed to construct it, ESPers create the environment, Telekinetics help create (and bend) physics, and Mediums allow for interface with semi-sentient personality shard in the spaces as well as the transport of consciousnesses into the space. Once the bands allow you to sync, they will help you continue doing this automatically once you are in the dreamspace.
This automation is important because of the relatively fragile nature of dreams. Once the dreamer knows they're dreaming, they wake up, and being in the space when the subject wakes up forces a restart on the bands, which is uncomfortable at best and dangerous at worst. What that means for us is that we can't interact with the space in ways it isn't meant to. You can't go around grabbing people and smashing walls and acting like a bull in a china shop. You have to play by the rules of the environment, or you risk destroying the whole thing. Ideally we'd train you longer, but time is ticking, after all."
Samir placed the band on his head and sat down, leaning back in his chair.
"Put them on, press the little start button, and relax. Close your eyes, count backwards from ten, and let your powers roam free."
As they counted backwards, they found the lights in the room dimming and flickering. The clock on the wall began to lose its numbers and the writing on the whiteboard ran until it was a muddled, unreadable mess. The floor bowed and they sunk into the white tile like quicksand until they were in total darkness.
Abruptly a yellowish fluorescent light snapped on, humming and trembling in its cracked fixture. They were in the lobby of an apartment complex, and ahead were three doors. One was a grate-style elevator door, one was an apartment door that read "7089" and the final was a bank vault door. Inside the elevator stood a fairly young woman in a bright pink sari, her hands clasped in front of her. She seemed to be waiting patiently for them to help her out of the elevator, but the buttons did nothing to open the door.
"If you can't proceed in an environment, it usually means the subconscious is defending itself. Try looking for a puzzle or clue," she offered, her accent mild and bubbling.
The front reception desk had a pack of "Lucky Strikes", a child's object and hole puzzle with only the square and sphere available, a piece of paper that read "One shot", a baseball bat with a red paint hand print on the top, and an empty pistol.
Short inaudible grumbles came out from his mouth, rolling his eyes as he looked at the piece of tech. He wasn't one of these types of people, one of those 'I love technology and I'll use it everyday for every little thing in the world' kind of person. He was distrustful of electrical technology like this, always thinking that it'd find a way to stop working for some stupid reason, like a chip coming out of place or some electrical wave interference. If this thing fried his head, he'd rather be dead with everything going on in his life. As he placed it on his head, he closed his eyes before grumbling something else "Like he knows what goes through our lives.." And that thing about being in kindergarden? He's fucking kidding right? Now Danny became even more wary of this Division. He felt as though it was gonna go to waste, with the idealism that the Captain was placing, they were gonna get no where but another kid dead from the time it takes.
As Danny pressed the start button, he leaned his head back with hands over his waist, sighing before he would wake once more into the dreamspace. Waking up, he would look at the lady (Whom he presumed was Samir) and gave a smirk "Nice look, Cap'n." Before walking over to the doors. 7089. Four numbers. Most apartments had three numbers, the first to indicate the floor and the other two to locate the seperate apartment buildings. This apartment apparently had 70. He then looked at the Vault Door. Weird. While he paid little mind to it, he thus moved over to the reception desk before taking out a glove from his coat pocket, before picking up the pistol, removing the magazine as to review the weapon. "Empty. Somebody walked out. Must've been here for awhile. One Shot must mean what? Guy has one bullet, one kill, or Guy has one shot and runs?" As he viewed the pistol, he placed the pistol down before walking behind the reception desk as he tried Searching for the missing shell casing.
Alexandra completely froze because when she let her power escape and opened her eyes once again... she was on longer in the building of her new job. As part of the job, Alex also had a glove in the pocket of her blazer and followed suit with putting it on her hands.
"We're in his head, do we even need gloves?" Alex asked with a furrow of her eyebrows but didn't bother to not go through with standard procedure. Instead she grabbed the child's toy and starred at it for a moment. Children... what was so special about children that made this person go after young and innocent little beings? Though little kids made Alexandra a bit uncomfortable and awkward, that didn't mean a thing. There was a line and it was clear whoever had done this didn't care. Rules had been a big thing in Alexandra's life but even she knew the laws of life. Take a life with your own hands, prepare to have people come after you to get justice.
Which reminded Alex why she was doing this. Having her telepathy meant that there had to be something she could do in order to at least help balance the odds against those doing wrong. They had no right to take lives that didn't belong to them. Just because they had the strength to do it didn't mean it was their job. Why couldn't they just let people die naturally?
Oh wait, they were mentally screwed over and seemed to have their own rules in life. Which they believed applied to everyone.
"What's the time difference from in this virtual world and the real one?" Was the question that tumbled out of her plump pink lips which were no longer glistening with lip gloss from earlier this morning. Eating that cake with a cup of coffee had wiped it all away. Not that she needed it; it had been Jenna's idea anyways.
What caught her attention the most was the vault door and she wondered what exactly was supposed to be in there.
"My curiosity on what's inside this thing seems to be growing," Alex muttered to herself as she walked over to it and lightly tapped it. Would it open like a regular vault? With a shake of her head she looked away from the vault and instead paid attention to baseball bat. She picked it up and twirled it around a bit. Wondering what the red hand print was for. Everything here had a connection... they just had to find the first one.
Jonathan was somewhat startled when the Captain addressed him. Looking at the headband, Jonathan smiled. He wasn't really paying much attention to the object as it expanded, but now it was rather interesting. Jonathan put his hands up and dipped his head as if to illustrate defeat. It didn't take long for Jonathan to put the headband back together again. The pieces seemed to snap together seamlessly and retake its headband form. Once the pieces were together, Jonathan allowed the headband to descend into his open palm. Then Jonathan looked around to the others at the table. They all started to place the headbands on and go into a sort of trance. Jonathan was hesitant about following suit. He didn't exactly sign up for this and it didn't follow suit with his own agendas. As far as he was concerned, the TCPD wasn't going to help him at all.
After a few moments of ruminating, Jonathan decided that he'd play along. Maybe things would work out with this strange, temperamental group. Placing the headband on, Jonathan closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. With his back flush with the wall, Jonathan stopped thinking. He could feel that fire inside of him blaze and his powers affecting the world around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange apartment building. At first he didn't really take much notice. There wasn't anything different from this place and his own. His eyes scanned the area and fell upon the woman addressing the group. What the hell is this? Jonathan thought to himself. The lady was pretty enough, but that wasn't something his mind was focusing on. Instead he found himself gazing at the strange objects then at the rest of the group. A puzzle... Jonathan thought to himself. Usually, he'd dive right in and start tinkering with something, but instead he waited for someone else to make the move. All the while his mind was searching for clues.
The woman behind the grate only smiled at Daniel when he called her Captain, watching all of them as they looked around the room. There were no shell casings to be found, but Daniel did discover a bullet hole close to the ground in the wooden apartment door. Through it he could see a child's baseball cleats, caked in dirt and grass. In the far background, he could see the feet of two adults who seemed to be having an argument or fighting. The door, however, would not open and could not be broken.
She also nodded encouragingly at Alex when she picked up the bat, although when Alex didn't say anything to her teammates about it, the woman looked over to Jonathan and frowned to see he was doing nothing at all.
"You must all work together to solve this," she said, her voice tight and urgent. "Since you can advance no further, look at the clues laid out. Pay attention to things that draw your attention. And for goodness sakes, talk to each other!"
There was a deep rumble that shook the landscape, causing the sphere to drop off the desk along with the Lucky Strikes box, and roll along the floor. The Lucky Strikes box was filled not with cigarettes, but pink bubblegum cut to look like chewing tobacco. The sphere, when examined, had a clear seam on it, but couldn't be pried open. The material seemed fairly brittle, however.

Cox Family Stores
high-end gas station branding
A circular, clean, centered logo using soft, earthy tones was the best solution to build this brand on. Cox Family Stores logo and brand is now recognized throughout the San Francisco East Bay and Tahoe areas as a favored convenience store stop.
The continual efforts of the CFS brand have driven a significant increase in sales.
