There have been many times I've worked to discover all websites being hosted on a single host address (e.g., IP address). This required some effort and none of my techniques generated anything I considered comprehensive or authoritative. Usually only a list good enough to get my analysis to the next step.
I found this very useful post today on how to accomplish that exact task, easily. There is also a bash script posted to do this from the command line.
When I saw the post I immediately recognized how obvious this is. Of course search engines know this information! They crawl the web constantly visiting every website and they must have a website-IP mapping. But, until know I didn't know they exposed this mapping.
The post shows to how do it in Bing – simply use the following syntax:
Click here to see an example using current IP address of this website, activeresponse.org: http://www.bing.com/search?q=ip%3A18.104.22.168&go=Submit+Query&qs=bs&form=QBRE
One challenge I see of this technique is that Bing does not expose the timestamp of this information. Of course Bing would do some caching of information for performance purposes and as such I cannot guarantee that all of these sites are still hosted on that same IP address. Given the nature of dynamic hosting and cloud services websites can move around pretty quickly depending on their hosting service.
Therefore, and as I've cautioned previously on this blog, ensure you know your data source and their biases and limitations. In this case the data may be cached and out-of-date.
On the other hand, having a cache showing what was hosted where in the past is also helpful.
But, it's a pretty cool and helpful capability to have.
Let me know if you have any other easy ways to accomplish this task! I tried the task with other search engines but was unsuccessful.

Located in the tourist centre of the city, the second-storey independent bookstore and music shop, Pin-to Livros & Musica, has overlooked Senado Square for over a decade. However, in July the music store suspended its business and this month the bookstore has to say goodbye to its home, moving on to a new chapter. Opened in 2003 by four booklovers, Anson Ng is now the sole owner in charge of the bookstore. Anson sat down with Business Daily to talk about the experience of opening an independent bookstore in the busiest area of the city and to analyse the book market in Macau when compared to other book markets such as Taiwan and Mainland China.
Why did you want to open an independent bookstore in the city?
One of our very first reasons for opening a bookstore was to provide books that were hardly found in the city at that time. We simply wanted to share the books we liked. But also, another reason for opening the bookstore was to create a platform for people who shared the same passion for reading books to get together. In the very beginning, we did not make any market survey to see whether people would like to read the books we recommended, but very soon we found that there was a group of people out there who were interested in the books we chose for the shop. In fact readers had wished to have books like the ones that we were selling in Pinto for a long time.
Where do most of the books that you pick come from?
Most of our books are imported from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland China, but we also pick some books by local authors.
Since Senado Square has become one of the most attractive tourist areas in the city, how is your customer base for the store? Are most of the customers tourists?
Our customer base has been accumulating in the past decade, and thus reflecting that we are serving within a niche market. We dont want to sell books to attract as many readers as possible, but to attract people who might prefer the books that we choose to sell. Aside from the books we sell, the most distinctive feature about the store is its location. Many readers appreciate the peaceful and quiet environment provided by this hidden space, contrasting with the bustling and noisy outside world. The store has also allowed visitors to observe the changes of the square over the past years. Also, because of this location, at a certain level we attracted some tourists to visit the store, but we dont aim to serve tourists. I know very well that adjusting the business for the general tourist would help improve our sales, but too many tourists visiting the store would damage the atmosphere that the store already possesses. It is all about making choices, and we chose to stick with the aim that we had at the very beginning.
How has business been since you opened?
Since the store is not a big one, the risk was not significant during the first few years. But challenges appeared eventually, especially when more people preferred to go online to buy books. Weve got seven to eight thousand members but not all of them buy books regularly at our store. Therefore, this does not reflect anything of the business condition of the store.
How do you attract more readers to visit or buy books from your store? How does the store compete against online bookstores?
Although we dont aim to attract tourists, we do care about selling books for the sake of survival. Before, we sold other things aside from books, but for me, myself, I love reading. And the reason that I opened this bookstore was to have an impact on society and get to know more people who share the passion as I do, so I prefer to focus on selling books. A bookstore does not only sell books, it is a cultural space where people can communicate through books. The experience of buying books online and buying books from a bookstore is different, but bookstores have to create more value for readers, to convince them the worth of buying books from a bookstore, even if the price is a bit higher than online stores. The things that online bookstores cannot provide are services between people, and the atmosphere. Also, when people do not have an idea of what books to buy, visiting a bookstore is a preferable option. Meanwhile, I will also continue to consider holding more events in our new store.
How do you create the environment of the bookstore? How do you distinguish it from other bookstores?
We wish to provide a cosy environment, with a personalised style to suit the books that we are selling, but there are numerous bookstores that have a similar atmosphere. As such, we stand out by holding events instead of only providing a place for readers to read or buy books. As an independent bookstore, we have a setting for the store, but all we try to do is to follow our hearts, because we cannot control how visitors feel or think about their experience of visiting the bookstore.
Did the Macau government offer any help for the store?
The Macau government didnt take the initiative to approach us, but they consider us as part of the cultural and creative industry. They did ask us if they could add the bookstore to one of the cultural and creative maps of the city, as well as the official map by the Macao Tourism Office. Unlike in Taiwan, the Macau government does not have specific subsidies for local independent bookstores to hold events.
How do you think the reading environment of Macau is in comparison to places like Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China?
When compared to Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are obviously very few numbers of people who really enjoy reading. But as a small town, in reference to the rest of the world, Macaus reading environment is in fact not as pessimistic as many would have thought.
How is the book and publishing market in the city when compared to those markets?
Since most of our books are imported, the prices of the books from our stores are higher when compared to places where the books originate. Some readers also reflected that they discovered a change in the genre of books in our store, but it is actually the publishers who have controlled what books to sell in the market, based on the type of books that are more popular; this happens in particular with publishers from Taiwan. For example, books about lifestyle have been quite ubiquitous in recent years due to increased demand from the reading population.
In Taiwan, the ranking board in Eslite Bookstore (one of the largest retail bookstore chains in Taiwan) also indicates that the reading taste of the population has switched in the past decade. Nevertheless, there are also many small publishers cooperating with small independent bookstores in Taiwan, since many of them cannot enter the bookstore chains. The co-operation between small publishers and independent bookstores thus created the ecosystem, providing more book options. Unfortunately, there is basically no independent publisher in Macau, with only the Macao Foundation publishing books by local authors. Books by local authors have very limited business value, therefore there are not many people willing to buy these books.
What is the main reason for moving the bookstore?
Many have misunderstood that our leaving is because of the growing rental price of the store, but we are not the only ones to leave. Around us there were a lot of chain stores such as Starbucks and McDonalds that left. Our original landlord sold the store to another company two years ago and we were simply informed by the new landlord to end the contract without any chance of negotiation. But I myself personally, also wish to leave the tourist area.
Do you have any concerns that the change of location will impact on the bookstore?
Not at all, I am very much looking forward to moving to the new location. I wish for the bookstore to blend in with the surrounding community.
Pin-to Livros will close after September 30 and will reopen in January 2017. The new location will be at Rua De Coelho Do Amaral No.41, near Kiang Wu Hospital.

|With the demolition of the former Marketplace building complete,
there is a clear view of 1 Royce Circle from E. O. Smith High School.
Phase 1B consists of one building, 1 Royce Circle, which is adjacent to the Storrs Center parking garage. This building is expected to open in August 2013 with 40,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor and with 190 rental apartments from The Oaks on the Square on the upper floors.
|One Royce Circle will face the future Town Square.
|This image shows 1 Royce Circle as it will appear from the southwest,
where the building meets the future Nash-Zimmer Transportation Center.
One Royce Circle will help to define the future Town Square. In addition to forming the east end of the square by its location, the size and scale of the building will help create a distinct sense of place within the Town Square. A third, future phase (1C) will from the southerly end once it is completed in 2014.
Each of the buildings framing the Town Square will have commercial space on the first floors. The restaurants and shops, along with wide sidewalks and outdoor seating, will create a lively environment in the Town Square area, where residents and visitors can meet and mingle, partake in community events, and enjoy living in a diverse university community.
While the construction of Phase 1B continues, the construction of Phase 1A is wrapping up: façades are being painted, businesses are opening up, and the streetscape is filling out. To date, eleven businesses have opened their doors in 1 Dog Lane (Froyoworld, Subway, Insomnia Cookies), 9 Dog Lane (Body Language, Travel Planners, Skora's Barber Styling Shop, Bank of America, Sweet Emotions, Select Physical Therapy, and Husky Pizza), and 11 Dog Lane (Storrs Automotive). In the coming months, six more businesses will open: Moe's Southwest Grill, 7-Eleven, Dog Lane Café, and Mooyah Burgers & Fries (1 Dog Lane) and Geno's Grille (9 Dog Lane).

Welcome back to The Capital Issue. We're seeing the capital markets opening back up slowly, and projects that had been temporarily shelved are now moving forward. This edition provides a basic introduction to an oft-misunderstood financing tool: the derivative. We also take a look at investment portfolio rebalancing, housing inspections and the intriguing concept of senior living households. Special thanks to guest author Mike Johns of QHR for insights into items hospitals should consider in an acquisition or affiliation. If you have any questions on these topics or would like us to visit in person to explain them, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thomas R. Green, CEO
Organizations seeking to stabilize cash flow, mitigate susceptibility to interest rate swings or otherwise structure a desired interest exposure should consider the variety of liability-hedging tools available to mitigate interest rate risk and volatility on existing debt. These tools - including caps, floors, collars, swaps and swaptions – are negotiated contracts that can provide fairly precise levels of interest rate control over a specified time period. Additional benefits include creating a more flexible financial structure, reducing borrowing costs, matching rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, and diversifying financial risks and/or increasing investment returns.
The economic downturn and resulting restricted access to capital have caused many hospitals to consider a partner or other affiliation strategy. Declining volumes and the deteriorating payer mix, a result of high unemployment rates, are further forcing these discussions – as are the seemingly countless opportunities for capital rich hospitals to acquire struggling, undervalued hospitals.
Once considered an impractical fringe approach, senior living practitioners and other stakeholders now accept – if not embrace – the concepts of the household model. With the fundamental precept of emphasizing the dignity of the individual through resident-directed care in a home-like setting, most people can agree that the household model is a goal to which senior living organizations can aspire. But is it financially viable?
The Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) conducts approximately 20,000 physical inspections of projects owned, insured or subsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban Development each year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and state housing finance agencies will require similar inspections for USDA and tax credit projects, respectively. By becoming more familiar with the inspection processes, affordable housing providers can significantly raise their inspection scores, maintain future financing mechanisms and identify possible repair items.
The last issue of the Nonprofit Minute discussed the perils that can occur when investors unsuccessfully try to time the market ("The Math and Mentalities of Market Timing," Spring 2010). Another way in which investors unknowingly time the market is through the lack of a disciplined portfolio rebalancing policy.

Cave Spring, Virginia is stocked with the best pizzeries this side of Italy. And that's just a sample of the cuisine. Sometimes you start shopping and ask your cellphone: where can I buy organic tomatoes and scallops in Cave Spring, Virginia? And then you realize it would be easier to let a professional handle dinner.
Does it ever bother you that Cave Spring, Virginia is never highlighted on Pinterest, despite the fact that it has many tasty restaurants? Ellen DeGeneres can chow elsewhere for all we are care.
Again…who really cares though? Say you are considering going with seafood, meat or even veggies like baked beans for your primary protein. It's easy to find something filling. Virginia is full of hippies. The friendly waiters and waitresses in Cave Spring, Virginia can easily match your taste preferences with the perfect summer squashes.
We can pompously relay that real, down to earth folks cook up all the meals around here. No pre-packaged crap! Just fine versions of gluten-free or salads. Visitors should see these restaurants in person to taste what we've been talking about.
Selecting the very best restaurants has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. We worry we might have missed a spot that's famous around Virginia for its rice and beans. Could you share your opinion in the comments section or on Pinterest? We'd suggest you save room in case there are dishes with tomatoes, oysters and scallops. But we know you will fill your stomach with delight well before that. Munch away friends.

Not your average Joe.
Quickly and easily top off your tires with the Topeak Joe Blow Sprint Floor Pump. An aluminum body and steel base provide secure pumping while a padded, oversized handle provides comfort. The analog pressure gauge is mounted at the top of the barrel for easy reading, unlike most pumps that locate it at the base.
The gauge also has a release valve to slowly bleed off excess pressure and achieve the ideal setting. A long hose makes fitting to various tires easy, and Topeak's Twinhead works with Presta and Schrader valves without the need to switch internals -- simply flip the lever to lock onto your valve type and pump away. For added convenience, there's a handle lock to securely hold it in place during transportation.
Topeak's Joe Blow Sprint Floor Pump has a max PSI of 160, and comes in silver with a black base and handle.

This Time Last Year... Analyzing 12 Crazy EPL MonthsAugust 12, 2011
This Time Last Year... Analyzing 12 Crazy EPL Months
A year ago this weekend, the wild and wacky debut of the 2010 EPL season was upon us. We were jubilated, hopeful, optimistic, and even naïve regarding what the following 12 months had in store for us.
Plenty of people offered their preseason predictions, but to correctly prophesize such an irregular season would have taken the mind of an impartial legend. To refresh your memory of what fans around the league were feeling, I have summed up what was happening just a mere 365 days ago. My, how times have changed.
Well, without further ado, this time last year...
Arsenal Was Bound to Find Luck
It was another optimistic August for Arsenal fans, who wouldn't dare believe their devasting drought would last one more year. Surely the Soccer gods would show some sympathy and give them even the smallest of silverware. FA Cup? Carling Cup? Emirates Cup? History repeated itself yet again.
City Established Itself as Spenders
And we thought Manchester City was overspending last summer! My how naïve we were. After a summer spending spree for the history books, Manchester City finally looked like a contender for some serious silverware at the start of last season. After adding David Silva, Jerome Boateng, James Milner, and Yaya Toure, many thought City had all they needed to compete for a crown.
Clearly, Mansour bin Zayed el Nahyan wasn't satisfied with just one summer of breaking bank. MCFC has added Edin Dzeko, Kun Aguero, Gael Clichy, and possibly Samir Nasri the last 12 months and still looks hungry for more big names. Hopefully, I am not the only one scared to see what City will look like with 12 more months of work.
Berbatov Was Labeled a Bust
Dimitar Berbatov was being labeled one of the biggest busts in EPL history last August. However, the Bulgarian put together a stellar season that won him the EPL Golden Boot and salvaged some respect after two years of disappointment. Sadly, it seems as though Berbatov's popularity remains the same, as United has been looking to shop his services the last couple of weeks. Stay strong, Dimitar!
Odemwingie, Chicharito Who?
Just 12 months ago, the EPL world had not yet been graciously blessed by the some of the best talents in the game. Words like Chicharito and Odemwingie could have just as easily been names of foreign foods instead of the last names of two dominant EPL strikers. Odemwingie's/Hernandez breakout seasons made me think of other star players who were nobodies just last August.
DJ Campbell: The journeyman forward finally found bliss at Blackpool last season.
Charlie Adam: It would be hard to find another striker who went from just another man in a jersey to a desired starlet in 12 months.
Andy Carroll: Carroll went from scoring just a handful of Premier League goals in his career to being sold to Liverpool for £35 million. A solid year by the big man.
Torres Was Still in Liverpool Form
Last August, Torres was not coming off a tremendous World Cup, but many avid EPL fans still expected the Spaniard to regain top form for his Liverpool campaign. But Torres' season didn't exactly go as planned, as the man turned into more of a liability than a goal-scorer on the Chelsea attack. Needless to say, Torres is not quite as feared by opposing fans now as he was 12 months ago.
Swansea Was Not a Contender
Just seven years ago, Swansea was battling in League Two and was barely considered a respectable club in English football. Last year the Swans were playing in the Championship, but after two mediocre seasons, the squad couldn't have expected anything more than a mid-table finish.
However, after a miraculous promotion season, Swansea City became the first Welsh team in the English Premier League and have more than doubled their expected fan base. Swansea wasn't even considered a Championship contender last season, and now they are battling with the big boys.
West Ham Seemed Safe
Coming off a disappointing 2009-10 season, expectations at Upton Park were most certainly not sky high. However, after staying afloat in the Premier League with a limited budget for nearly half a decade, no one truly expected West Ham's Premier League tenure to actually come to an end. In fact, a number of analysts predicted the prestigious side to finish mid-table and be safe for at least another year in England's top flight.
But after finishing dead last and being relegated for just the second time in the Premier League era, West Ham must enter a harsh rebuilding stage before they get to compete with their superior London counterparts once again. Will the pain for Hammer fans miserably continue or will they finally have something to cheer about down at Upton Park this year? Only time will tell.
Fabregas Was Linked with Barcelona...
Well folks, I guess things haven't changed that much after all! Thanks for reading!

Last Man Standing Cast
January 4, 2012 by staff
Last Man Standing Cast, TV is kicking off the year with a bang through big casting headlines involving Liza Minnelli, Kim Kardashian and Megan Mullaly. Read on to find out more.
Move over Betty White, there's a new "living legend" on Hot in Cleveland! Oscar winner Liza Minnelli, who made such a splash as Lucille 2 on Arrested Development and recently as Lily Wells on Drop Dead Diva, will once again return to the small screen. According to TV Line, she will guest star as the agent of Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick) in at least one episode of TV Land's comedy series.
Kim Kardashian to appear on Last Man Standing: The newly single reality TV star has booked an episode of the Tim Allen comedy series. TV Line reports that Kardashian, who will be appearing as herself, will bump into Mandy, the reality-obsessed daughter of Allen's Mike.
Erica Durance is Wonder Woman!? The Smallville actress who played Lois Lane for 10 years will suit up as the superheroine when she plays a somewhat mentally challenged woman who thinks she truly is Wonder Woman in the January 11 episode of Harry's Law. "What ends up happening is that my character, Annie Billson, has gone one step too far, or some would say many steps too far, and taken this psychosis, this vigilantism a little far in the opinion of society and she's hurt one too many people, and so she's actually been charged with a crime. She goes to see Adam [Nate Corddry], whom she has a history with and has gone to high school with. He knows her, so she seeks his representation," Durance tells TV Guide.
Comings and Goings on Breaking In: Fox's Breaking In returns for its second season on March 6 but don't expect everyone to be back. Michael Rosenbaum, who played Dutch in season 1, isn't expected to return due to preexisting commitments while House actress Odette Annable, who plays Melanie won't be back as series regular. She will, however, still appear in a few installments. Rest assured, Christian Slater, Bret Harrison and Alphonso McAuley will reprise their roles as Oz, Cameron and Cash respectively. Additionally, TV Line reports that Will & Grace actress Megan Mullally has been cast as Oz's boss for the new season.

purposely have more children than they are able to care for and support, subjecting their children to often hardscrabble and impoverishment conditions?
sort by best latest
In the old days, like the 1800s or so, medicine wasn't very good and people had a lot of children knowing a number would die and wanting to have some that would live. Men married women who looked like they could bear many strong children. My mother came from a family of 12 children, plus two miscarriages which would have been 14 children otherwise. The funny thing is, my mother's family is so close and they really functioned as a tribe and always had each other's backs and the backs of each other's children. I don't know how it came out that way, but the Gaviolas (my mom's family) is the most loving family ever and when they are together talking of their childhood they are always laughing about pranks they did, etc. I don't know why my grandparents had so many children, but none of the children were troubled. In fact, the naughtiest of them all became an Catholic archbishop. Also, there was no birth control then, that could also explain the large families. But if one thing was proven, large families are really capable of being very happy and providing a good, strong support system that endures through the years.

Abstract—Effective high-level data management is becoming an important issue with more and more scientific applications manipulating huge amounts of secondary-storage and tertiary-storage data using parallel processors. A major problem facing the current solutions to this data management problem is that these solutions either require a deep understanding of specific data storage architectures and file layouts to obtain the best performance (as in high-performance storage management systems and parallel file systems), or they sacrifice significant performance in exchange for ease-of-use and portability (as in traditional database management systems). In this paper, we discuss the design, implementation, and evaluation of a novel application development environment for scientific computations. This environment includes a number of components that make it easy for the programmers to code and run their applications without much programming effort and, at the same time, to harness the available computational and storage power on parallel architectures.

I'm doing research on whether to buy tibouchina urvilleana or not and I noticed that the mature size varies by as much as 9 or 10 feet depending on which website you visit! This is even among Dave's listed suppliers. I find that the lack of good, consistent information from professional growers to be confusing and frustrating. I would like to purchase the tall variety. Can someone please direct me?
What is the mature size of Tibouchina Urvilleana?
As long as you get the straight species it would grow tall given the right conditions. However...I don't think they will be hardy in your climate which means you will either need to keep it in a pot which will limit its size, or if you plant it in the ground and it does somehow manage to survive the winter it'll likely die back quite a bit and therefore never reach its full height potential. The 'Athens Blue' cultivar is supposed to be a little hardier, but I think it's also more compact.
Yeah, I've seemed to have taken a liking to plants that don't do well in my zone. But why let that stop me?! I'm stubborn and persistent. I've obtained Urvillana and grandiflora. They are growing next to my mangoes and echiums. All in pots. Maybe I just need to move to California.
Moving to CA won't help, you'll still try to grow things that don't like your climate. I moved here from OH so you would think I'd be happy with the range of things I can grow now, but I have a greenhouse full of stuff that's too tropical to survive here.
Yeah, ecrane3, you are probably right. Hawaii is probably my only option. The Tibouchina is considered invasive and unwanted. Such a beautiful plant.
I live in Missouri and just purchased a Tibouchina. It is in a pot on my front porch. I love it and it is doing quite well, hoping I can overwinter it like a normal houseplant that needs a lot of sun. Planning on sitting it next to my Southern exposure window and hoping for the best. How is yours doing?
Was doing fine. I have two t. Grandiflolias overwintering indoors (in west facing windows) and one t. Urvilliana (south facing window). The leaves dry out quickly due to very low humidity in my home (gas heat). They all briefly flowered this winter but not fully. They are struggling. Can't wait to get them back outside this spring.
the ones here grow into a nice contained shrub 10ft or less i'd say with the pruning and periods of cold. it seems hardy. the nursery had 3 and a lady pre-ordered all 3 - i was so upset haha!
i think the other kind with the fuzzy silvery leaves appears more hardy.
interesting thread!

Rising star of Italian cinema Matilde Maggio is in Australia to launch this year's Italian Film Festival. Her latest movie Martino's Summer is a coming of age drama set in Bologna. She tells World Movies what she loves about summer, why her favourite film is the Peter Pan classic Hook, and how it feels to win at Cannes.
What is your favourite film and why?
My favorite film is Hook, directed by Steven Spielberg. He is absolutely my favourite director. He is a genius! It had the added bonus of starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and one of my favourite actresses, Julia Roberts. I also loved Hook's score, which was written by John Williams. There was great harmony between the music and the images.
What's the best thing about Summer in Italy?
Italian summers are just wonderful and the best thing is the warm light that continues until late in the evening – and the emotion you feel when you look at the sunset on the sea with its many wonderful colours. Then there are the evenings on the beach where you can look at the stars and dream with your eyes open. But the thing that I love most of all about summers in Italy is watermelon!
What is the highlight of your career to date?
The highlight of my career was when I went to Cannes Film Festival in 2008 for [the film] Diari, directed by Attilio Azzola. This was my first movie, so I was a little bit worried, but when it was awarded the Grand Prix Ecrans Junior I was very happy. [E]veryone involved with the project, including myself, worked extremely hard to shoot a good film, plus the story is very touching, so I was extremely proud.
The Italian Film Festival is running from 14 Sep to 26 Oct and tours to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Find out more here.

I've been away from my blog for awhile. It's a busy time of year. The girls are finishing science fair projects, and I've been bitten by the inspiration bug. 1. I've been researching kilns, because I want to get into polymer metal clay jewelry. 2. I've been painting again and getting closer to coming up with a way to incorporate my watercolor painting with my jewelry. 3. I'm trying copper as a jewelry material. 4. I have a list of ideas with paper clay and artists trading cards. So, I've been creative and inspired and trying out new things. Hopefully soon I can share some of the new things I've been up to.
In the meantime, I'll post the new rhodonite earrings that I recently listed in my shop. These lovely creamy pink stones are made with antiqued brass findings. These are listed in Kit and Caboodle Shop.
Watch out for the inspiration bug, I hear from my artist friends that he's making the rounds. Once you're bitten, you'll have a long list of ailments (creative ideas) and no time to find a remedy.

4-20 mA two-wire Coriolis flowmeter
Endress+Hauser's Promass E 200 Coriolis flowmeter claims the distinction of being the first to have two-wire 4-20 mA HART technology.
Endress+Hauser announces the Promass E 200 Coriolis flowmeter, which the company contends is the first Coriolis flowmeter with true two-wire 4-20 mA HART technology available commercially. The Promass E 200 uses the full 16 mA of measurement span without the need for excess adapters, power supplies or barriers.
This advanced meter design results in simplified integration into existing control systems, and allows the flowmeter to be used with DCS, PAS, PLC and other remotely operated controller systems. The 4-20 mA interface makes it easy to replace legacy flow sensors without any change in field wiring. In many cases, the unit can simply be dropped in to replace an existing flowmeter, without the need for additional hardware or rescaling of control systems.
The Promass E 200 Coriolis meter is safe because its two-wire technology enables it to be used in safe applications for Class 1 Division 1 locations. The Promass E200 has been submitted for a SIL-2 rating for critical applications and complies with NE43 (NAMUR) safety standards, including operating down to 3.6 mA in a fail-safe condition. Self-monitoring and error diagnostics are standard features that are designed in strict accordance with the specifications of NE107 (NAMUR).
The Promass E has built-in diagnostics, and displays clear English text errors and root causes on its local display in case of a fault. The flowmeter can also be commissioned and diagnosed with Endress+Hauser's FieldCare software. If servicing is needed, the HistoROM function automatic data backup function ensures automatic reconfiguration of a repaired or new meter without the need for recalibration.
Promass E 200 simultaneously measures mass flow, fluid density and temperature. In addition to liquids like acids, alkalis, and solvents, it also measures most gases. The Promass E 200 measures mass flow and volume flow with 0.25% accuracy, and measures density with accuracy of 0.0005 g/cm3. It operates in process pressures of Classes 150 to 600 and process temperatures up to 284 °F.
The sensor is highly immune to external disturbances such as pipeline vibration, and is stable under changing process conditions such as pressure, density, temperature or viscosity.
Promass E 200 can be supplied in line sizes of 3/8 to 2 inches (DIN 8 to 50) with 904L Stainless Steel as a standard wetted material. Transmitter options include aluminium and stainless steels to meet various chemical, oil, gas, process, food, beverage and life sciences applications.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Knee Replacement
The Johns Hopkins orthopaedic surgeons at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center specialize in numerous proven and innovative treatment options for debilitating knee pain. There are several different factors that could determine which knee procedure you may benefit from the most. Your Johns Hopkins surgeon can help you decide what is right for you. Options include:
- Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
- High Tibial Osteotomy
- Partial Knee Replacement
- Total Knee Replacement and Common Questions
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
This is a surgical technique involving two to three small incisions and the use of fiber optic technology to see into your knee, without the need of a large surgical incision. During the procedure, which usually takes less than an hour, your Johns Hopkins orthopaedic surgeon will use the arthoscope and another instrument to remove or repair damaged tissue.
Arthroscopic knee surgery can be used to help treat these types of common knee problems:
- Meniscal tear
- Articular cartilage damage
- Ligament damage
- Arthritis
High Tibial Osteotomy
High tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed for arthritis in younger (under 55 year old) patients. By cutting the bone and realigning it, the forces in the knee can be changed to decrease pain and improve function. It is a good surgical option for patients who perform heavy lifting, have a demanding job, or who want to continue participating in contact sports.
Partial Knee Replacement
Also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, it is used in those cases where only one side of the knee joint is damaged and is in need of repair/replacement. Because only one side of the knee is being replaced, a smaller incision may be used. The small incision is sometimes referred to as "minimally-invasive" surgery. With a smaller incision there is less bleeding, quicker recovery and less bone loss than with a total knee replacement.
Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacements are usually performed on people suffering from severe arthritic conditions. Most patients who undergo total knee replacement are over age 55, but the procedure is performed in younger people. The circumstances vary somewhat, but generally you would be considered for a total knee replacement if:
- You have daily pain;
- Your pain is severe enough to restrict not only work and recreation but also the ordinary activities of daily living;
- You have significant stiffness of your knee;
- You have significant instability (constant giving way) of your knee; or,
- You have significant deformity (knock-knees or bowlegs).
What happens during knee replacement surgery?
A total knee replacement is really cartilage replacement with an artificial surface. The knee itself is not replaced. An artificial substitute for the cartilage is inserted onto the end of each of the bones. This is done with a metal alloy on the end of the femur and tibia, with a medical-quality plastic inserted between them. The cartilage on the undersurface of the kneecap also can be replaced with plastic. Replacement of the worn cartilage with the metal and plastic implant creates a new, smooth cushion and functioning joint.
Although not a normal knee, a replaced knee provides relief from the arthritis pain. Most patients have a marked decrease in their pain with substantial improvement in function after a knee replacement, which allows them to remain active and enjoy activities that had been limited because of pain.
What are the types of implants?
Many different companies made orthopaedic implants. Implants may either be press-fit (this allows the bone to grow into a rough surface of metal on the implant) or cemented (bone cement is used to attach the implant to bone). Both types of implant have high success rates.
When can a partial knee replacement be done?
A small number of patients have arthritis in only one area of the knee. These patients may be candidates for a partial knee replacements. Partial knee replacements can be done through smaller incisions. Ask your doctor if you are a candidate for partial knee replacement.
What "approach" is best for me?
Knee replacement is performed through an incision on the front of your knee. Minimally invasive approaches are now available; however, the benefits of this approach are unclear. Smaller incisions make the correct placement of the knee replacement implant very difficult and may increase the risk of leaving excess bone cement in the joint.

Immaculate 1 bedroom 1 bath in separate private dwelling with full size bed situated on 15 private wooded acres on rural unpaved road (dirt cow path actually) less than a mile from Omega Institute and about 6 miles from Rhinebeck proper. Walk to Omega. Bike to Rhinebeck.
El alojamiento
We have a pleasantly private rural setting convenient to the Taconic State Parkway and route nine, as well as train facilities in Rhinecliff and Poughkeepsie. Omega Institute, a holistic campus, is within walking distance. The village of Rhinebeck is within 6 miles and has an abundance of quality eating establishments and nightlife facilities. We are surrounded by many horseback riding facilities and are also convenient to the wine trail. Bard College, within 7 miles, offers theater and music venues. The Bardavon in Poughkeepsie too has excellent music as does the Falcon in Marlboro, New York. Historic Hyde Park is but 15 minutes away. The Rhinebeck aerodrome seems to be known by many throughout the world and in the summer Rhinebeck hosts the Dutchess County Fair, a reasonably well-known agricultural oriented activity. Throughout the year at the fairgrounds are craft fairs, wine pairings, car shows and innumerable other events.
The room itself, though not spacious is more than adequate for one: or two individuals who enjoy each others company and are willing to share a bed. Pets and children would not be desirable.
Servicios y zonas comunes
Linens and parking are included. Toiletries are available on a limited basis if you have forgotten something. Television doesn't exist. But wifi appears to have been established in both the bedroom and the gazebo (though AT&T users appear to have a bit of difficulty). The grounds are, baring the house, decks, and oversized shed, available for use including the gazebo with furnishings, lawn chairs, hammock, tree swing, walking paths, A (singular) 5(?) speed bicycle.
Atención a los huéspedes
We are always available if something is required simply by calling my wife's cell phone, the number of which is provided upon arrival, or knocking on the house door if someone is home. If for some reason we are away during your stay we employ a management company which handles EMERGENCIES for us. You simply call us via Karen's provided number and we contact them. They do stop in periodically when we are away ( they stop in when we're here too). To date, we have not had any problems requiring their services.
Otros aspectos destacables
Though comfortable, the room (with full private bath - shower not tub) is not excessively large. We feel it is ample for one or two individuals willing to share a bed. We do not believe it is either pet or child friendly. The grounds, lawn furniture, gazebo , etc are available for your use but the main house and decks are considered private. At present we have one 5 speed bike available for use with the proviso that if you use it don't get yourself injured, you are NOT covered for medical expenses. There is NO A/C , refrigerator, or coffee machine. There are plenty of screened windows and a 3 speed ceiling fan. These appear to have been adequate thus far. Karen is entertaining the idea of providing a carafe of coffee in the gazebo upon request If We Are Home during your stay. Oft-times we visit our children regardless of guests arrival as we have already made plans before accepting a guest. We generally inform a potential guest of this possibility so you realize we will not be physically available. We are always available through text, phone, or Internet and have a friend who we can contact in an emergency.
Extra blankets are in the bottom dresser draw as are spare linens for extended stays.
There is a built in cabinet in the bathroom with extra toilet paper, paper towels, towels etc.
We do not allow smoking in the room, but ashtrays are in the gazebo for those of us when cannot or do not want to abstain.
We generally find it convenient to expect our guests to treat our property as they would like their property to be treated. Pretty simple. Turn off or down heat units when out as the unit holds heat well. Fan on low when out is ample to circulate air in an empty room. The exterior lights are automatic but for the light by the entrance. If you are returning after dark, definitely leave this light on for your safe return.
45 evaluaciones
Old construction worker happily married 35yrs to the same not quite as old and still very attractive woman. Paying off college for two (wonderful?) children (one of each) who have finally graduated college and have NOT moved back home but instead to NYC where we periodically visit them. Probably working (though a bit slower) until the day i die and loving it?

Statements from James Bullard are consistent with more hawkish comments from the other FOMC members.

WASHINGTON – National security adviser Condoleezza Rice (search) on Sunday defended her characterization of Saddam Hussein 's nuclear capabilities in the months before the Iraq invasion, even as a published report said government experts had cast doubt at the time.
In the run-up to the March 2003 war, Rice said in a television interview in 2002 that the Iraqi president was trying to obtain high-strength aluminum tubes to rebuild his nuclear weapons program. The tubes, she said, were "only really suited for nuclear weapons programs."
On Sunday, Rice acknowledged she was aware of a debate within the U.S. intelligence community about whether the tubes were intended for nuclear weapons. "I knew that there was a dispute. I actually didn't really know the nature of the dispute," Rice told ABC's "This Week" program.
"The intelligence community assessment as a whole was that these (tubes) were likely and certainly suitable for, and likely for, his nuclear weapons program," Rice said. She said the director of the CIA at the time, George Tenet (search), believed that the tubes were for centrifuge parts.
"When you are faced with an assessment that Saddam Hussein is reconstituting his nuclear weapons program, that he has by the end of the decade the probability of having a nuclear weapon ... the tendency is always not to want to underestimate these programs," Rice said.
But two years later, Rice insisted she has no regrets about how the administration portrayed what it believed was a dangerous threat posed by Saddam.
"I stand by to this day the correctness of the decision to take seriously an intelligence assessment that Saddam Hussein would likely have a nuclear weapon by the end of the decade" if action wasn't taken.
"We were all unhappy that the intelligence was not as good as we had thought that it was. But the essential judgment was absolutely right. Saddam Hussein (search) was a threat," she said.
Later, in another interview, Rice said, "If you underestimate the nuclear threat of a tyrant, you make a really big mistake."
A New York Times story Sunday quoted four CIA officials and a senior administration official as saying that Rice's staff had been told in 2001 that Energy Department (search) experts believed the tubes were probably intended for small artillery rockets — and not nuclear weapons.
Rice said she learned of objections by the Energy Department only after making her 2002 comments.
During an interview in 2002, Rice said the tubes were "only really suited for nuclear weapons programs." In bolstering the administration's argument of the threat the nation faced, she added: "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
The Kerry campaign said the latest debate over flawed prewar intelligence only furthers its contention that the administration misled the country into invading Iraq.
"What the Times article is saying is that the top nuclear experts in the country said those aluminum tubes were not for nuclear weapons, and that this was suppressed by the administration, particularly Vice President Cheney," said Kerry foreign policy adviser and former U.N. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke (search).

"dog barking in background? intro/conc. too LOUD!"
"THIS IS AUDIBLE" and introduction are disturbingly loud and the sound of a dog barking in the background undermines the effectiveness of the meditation and make the "sleep" part of this hard to accomplish.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I don't use Macrium (still with Ghost 15) but that's not a flaw with Macrium. To me, anyway.
It's caused either by a change in the VSS snapshot, which is taken taken before imaging begins, or possibly by write caching not being enabled on your external HDD.
That info is garnered by google.
I don't see where Macrium is really at fault, though a case could be made for that. Ghost 15 isn't perfect either. OTOH, maybe software should be perfect. We can dream.
To my mind, a real failure is when the image won't restore properly.
Do you image cold, using the "rescue environment?"
I've never done it any other way, except when I was playing with the inbuilt Win 7 imaging.
Not saying that should be accepted practice, just my preference.
