Sky Bet Championship: Nottingham Forest hammer Reading 4-0 at the City Ground
Last Updated: 24/08/14 11:09pm
Nottingham Forest thrashed fellow promotion hopefuls Reading 4-0 at the City Ground to go top of the Sky Bet Championship.
Michail Antonio netted with a first-half header to give Stuart Pearce's side a 1-0 lead at the break, before they stepped up a gear in the second half, with Antonio prodding home a second in the 47th minute before setting up Matty Fryatt for a headed goal six minutes later.
It took the former Sheffield Wednesday man's tally to four for the season - and B#5million striker Britt Assombalonga was not to be outdone, notching his fourth of the campaign from close range to cap off victory in the 64th minute.
Forest's win maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign - and also their position at the top of the table.
Adam Federici had to produce a smart double save to deny Forest a goal as Andy Reid pounced on a kind deflection, with the keeper diving in bravely at his feet before swiftly recovering to repeat the manoeuvre at the feet of Chris Burke.
It was the first time Forest had seriously threatened the Reading goal, but they took the lead with their next meaningful attack, courtesy of a familiar combination, as Burke delivered a fine cross from the right flank, picking out Antonio, who powered home a header off the underside of the bar.
Jordan Obita had denied Forest a second goal when he headed clear off his own line, after Danny Fox had powered a header into the danger zone, with Fryatt then prodding the loose ball wide of the post.
Forest did survive two scares, with Aaron Kuhl poking wide from a good position 10 yards out - and former Forest man Simon Cox failing to make the most of a better chance, sending a bobbling shot the wrong side of the far post.
The home side all but secured three points within eight minutes of the restart, with two goals in quick succession. The first came in the 47th minute as Jack Hunt advanced down the right to deliver a looping ball to the far post, where Antonio was arriving again, this time to squeeze home a prodded shot, from close range.
Six minutes later Antonio turned provider, cutting inside onto his right foot to lift a cross enticingly into the path of Fryatt, who lapped up the opportunity, powering home a header beyond the helpless Federici.
Reading were shell-shocked - and Forest were rampant, with a fourth goal coming in the 64th minute, following a melee in the goalmouth. The Royals struggled to clear following a shot from Antonio, with Assombalonga eventually pouncing to drive into the back of the net.
It might have been 5-0 when substitute Jamie Paterson drove in a shot from 12 yards after Reading again failed to clear, if not for a fine reaction stop from Federici.
Federici produced another outstanding save to deny substitute Eric Lichaj after he fired in a shot from 25 yards - and skipper Chris Cohen lashed wide when the ball fell to him from a corner.

A staple of sci-fi, the holo-projection table
The Macabre style of architecture is common in ancestor venerating societies, or societies that have been afflicted by a long term period of loss of life. The style is best noted for its use of a morbid and gruesome, skulls and bones, severed limbs and the like. It also alternately honors the spirits of the dead with stunning works of art, and mocks death through caricature and comedy. Macabre is the common architectural style in Ozea.


text: Ultrasound of the Eye The Ultrasound Department within the Retina Service provides a number of diagnostic imaging services for physicians who refer patients to us for these tests. Telephone: 617-573-3282 A B-scan ultrasound uses sound waves to produce a diagnostic image. This is done as the sound waves propagate through tissues, bounce off of tissue interfaces, and return to the transducer. The ultrasound unit then converts the sound energy to electrical energy and an image is displayed. The patient has their eyes closed and the probe, with eye gel on it, is gently placed over the eyelid. Ultrasound is noninvasive, and the exam is painless. Dilation is not required. The exam takes about 10 minutes. An axial length ultrasound, also known as biometry, is an open lid exam. This test measures the length of the eyes so that when a cataract is removed from the eye, the proper replacement lens (Intraocular Lens Implant) can be calculated. A numbing drop is placed in the eye so that the patient does not feel the exam being performed. A plastic eye shield is placed under the lids and sterile saline is placed in the cup. Then, the ultrasound probe is placed in the saline to produce a series of one-dimensional echoes, which measures the length of the eye. Both eyes are always measured for comparison. Dilation is not required. This exam takes approximately 10 minutes. A UBM exam, ultrasound biomicroscopy, is an anterior segment view of the eye. The cornea, iris, and ciliary body are viewed with this type of ultrasound. This is an open lid exam. A numbing drop is placed in the eye so that the patient does not feel the exam being performed. A water filled transducer is placed directly onto the sclera and iris to view the anterior structures. Dilation is not required. This exam takes approximately 10 minutes. An OCT (optical coherence tomography) is an exam that uses light waves. Patients with macular degeneration most often have this test performed. The central vision portion of the retina (the macula) is viewed, and its layers are measured. Dilation is required for this exam for optimal viewing of the macula. The exam takes approximately 15 minutes after full dilation. Appointments for these procedures may be made by a referring physician's office only. The office may contact the ultrasound department at 617-573-3282. All patients will need to register and provide insurance information before the appointment. The testing area is located on the 12th floor of the Boston main building. Make An Appointment Today! 617-573-3202

RFID on the Production Line

Other RFID reading from Control Engineering includes:
"Zebra identifies top 10 tips for choosing an RFID printer/encoder"
"RFID helps with tires, food and drug, automotive applications" with "6-point RFID roadmap"
Talk is cheap, but radio frequency identification (RFID) systems and tags are still relatively expensive. This is especially true if the tags are applied on a close to per-item basis and if they're not reused. So, when Wal-Mart told its top 100 suppliers in June 2003 that it wants RFID tags on all cases and pallets shipped to its distribution centers by January 2005, many started slapping, shipping, and seeking ways to increase return on investment (ROI) and reduce costs.
One of these top 100 suppliers is Wells' Dairy, which provides Wal-Mart with Blue Bunny ice cream and novelties. Wells' reports that it's the largest U.S. family-owned dairy, and that it operates the world's largest ice cream manufacturing facility, located in LeMars, IA, which can run up to 160 hours per week.
While many suppliers try to comply with new RFID rules by adding tags just before shipping, Wells' decided to seek benefits and savings by implementing its RFID system early in its manufacturing process. Brad Galles, Wells' process controls manager, began working with the dairy's automation supplier, Rockwell Automation, on a pilot project in mid-2004. Their in-house-developed solution uses Allen-Bradley 1756 EWEB modules for ControlLogix to process data from Alien Technology's RFID readers and 915-Mhz, 96-bit Squiggly tags (see illustration, at left).
These RFID tags are written onto by the antenna-reader, and then applied to each two-bucket case as it's wrapped, at 30 cases per minute. The tags are read again up to four times as the cases are quick-frozen and eventually shipped. The RFID system passes information back into Wells' control architecture and shares it across the firm's enterprise network. A typical slap-and-ship system would have forced Wells' to manually rewrap and re-palletize its cases, which would have increased labor costs, Galles explains.
'From the outset, we viewed the implementation of RFID technology as a catalyst for making process changes that improve business performance,' says Galles. 'Once the data is collected, it can be used to improve inventory tracking; automate many of our quality control and inventory processes; and simplify our data collecting processes.' Wells' adds its RFID system has freed up personnel; helped increase accuracy of freezer counts; decreased mis-shipped pallets; and minimized the need for manual reconciliation.
The dairy and Rockwell add many efficiencies provided by the RFID system are aided by the data processing capabilities that resides behind the tags. For example, each RFID tag at the dairy is linked to a database that holds the production attributes of each case of ice cream, including time produced, batch identification, and production line. This lets Wells' operators know precisely when each tag is applied, and from what batch the pallet originated.
In essence, the sophistication of an RFID tag's identification data can help physical status and environmental data in the user's database, certify that process changes have occurred or that tests have been passed, and enable decisions and actuations to improve quality even further.
'The value of RFID lies in its ability to add value by increasing plant-floor visibility, which it does by collecting data in a way that's compatible with equipment we already have,' says Galles. 'To achieve maximum value for investment, it was important for us to design the RFID system using the same ControlLogix platform used in our existing processes.'
RFID basics
Sure, RFID tags don't require line-of-sight, can handle more data, and are more robust than the ubiquitous and less-costly barcodes they're supposed to replace. And, RFID is less expensive than traditional radio transmitters and other wireless technologies.
Still, as presently applied, RFID is mostly used for identification, material handling, and other forms of documentation. This may satisfy recent Wal-Mart and U.S. Dept. of Defense (DoD) directives to install RFID systems, but it has also fueled tremendous hype, which is already being postponed and/or scaled back in the face of reported implementation hurdles and questionable ROI.
So, as usual, it's up to users to evaluate their applications, confirm their needs, learn about RFID capabilities and costs, and then decide if RFID is a worthwhile way to improve their efficiency, aid decision making, improve quality control, and increase productivity, or opt for a barcode, radio transmitter, or hardwired network is most appropriate.
'While a barcode is seen though the 'eyes' of a data collection system, an RFID tag is heard though its 'ears' and can be spoken to through its 'voice,' which is simply a better way to have control and visibility into the supply chain,' says Bill Arnold, of Omron Electronics LLC. 'While a barcode only has 14-16 digits, RFID allows 96 to 256 digits on each tag, which allows a level of uniqueness that can identify products down to the shift, machine, and operator that produced them.'
RFID tags can be read-only, write-once-read-many (WORM), read-write, passively read by an antenna/reader, or actively send signals, usually aided by a battery.
'RFID is essentially an automatic data collection technology, rather than a control technology, but it can be integrated into control systems because it can read and write to those systems,' adds ArnoldSo, while a barcode can help track an item, RFID can track and record events, parameters, and measurements. This ability to store data, survive harsh conditions, and be written to make RFID more powerful than barcodes and less costly than a radio transmitter. This means users can make decisions and actuate changes more quickly, such as finding an item faster if it doesn't pass certain test criteria.'
Omron's 125-MHz RFID tags and V700 RFID reader were recently combined with an Intermec barcode system, and installed by a system integrator, the SMS Group, to streamline automobile seat manufacturing and traceability at Indiana-based Total Interior Systems-America (TISA), which supplies minivan seats to Toyota's plant nearby. 'RFID tags were used to supplement the existing barcodes in this case. One didn't replace the other,' says Mike Deal, SMS' automation and data collection manager. 'The tags gave full traceability to TISA's just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) system, which pre-assigns the specifications and placement for each seat.'
Deal adds that TISA's conveyors are controlled by PLCs and SMS' customized Core middleware, which accesses tag data via Omron's reader. The middleware also can talk to TISA's PLCs and its ERP system. Because its tags are reused in what RFID integrators call a 'closed loop,' TISA's system enables continuous JIS verification, and reportedly achieved ROI in six months.
Omron reports that the RFID reader, software, and printer included in its newly released RFID kit can help users implement a manual, compliant RFID system for $12,000-$15,000, rather than the $200,000 that it says traditional systems typically cost.
Closed loop to open loop
Similar to traditional radio transmitters, RFID tags were historically brick-sized devices that cost about $100, usually monitored work in progress (WIP) in harsh industrial applications, and were more capable, such as having longer ranges. 'Historically, read-write data stored on RFID tags also allowed user to build machine that functioned as islands because the tags retained the recipes and other process data,' says Helge Hornis, Pepperl+Fuchs' intelligent systems manager. 'When the Internet and Ethernet began popping up, users started running applications with smaller memory tags, which were linked to central databases and enterprise systems.'
|In a typical RFID scenario, the electromagnetic field of a reader/transceiver excites the circuitry of a tag, which produces enough power for data to be exchanged between them. The data can then be relayed though controllers, and onward to PLCs, PCs, and databases as needed.
Though they've shrunk to cookie-sized and smaller and their cost dropped to a few dollars or less over the years, these tags are still reused hundreds of times in closed-loop applications, diluting initial implementation costs. They're typically used to track big-ticket items, such as automobile chasses and components, which also helps make them economically worthwhile.
'Traditional RFID tags work almost like an extended hard drive, and users can read and write onto them all the data on the quality measures that need to be achieved,' says Alec Stuebler, Siemens Energy & Automation's business manager for factory automation sensors. 'For example, an RFID tag can help confirm that tools measuring torque during automotive assembly meet pre-defined measurements, and then allow components being assembled to move to the next step. Or a heat-resistant tag can help start a paint process, and then verify quality when it comes out of the 250 °C oven.'
Steubler adds that read ranges for RFID tags can vary from 2 mm for flush-mounted tags in tooling applications to 2.4 GHz tags that can read at 300 meters. Memory sizes can range from 96-112 bytes up to 64 Kbytes, though more memory may require added power, such as a battery, to keep that memory active and accessible.
RFID systems usually operate at three main frequencies: low frequency, which is below 1 MHz; high frequency, which is the 13.56-MHz universal frequency required worldwide for scientific instrumentation; and ultra-high frequency (UHF), which is over 800 Mhz. UHF allows longer range and is less costly, though it reportedly has some interference issues.
Siemens plans to introduce its Simatic RF 600 and Simatic RF 300 products in August 2005. Reportedly able to achieve a 3-5 m read range, these 900-MHz systems will include RFID tags, readers, antennas, and software.
Recent technological advances have reduced RFID tags to almost semiconductor chip-sized, which is small enough to be inserted into barcodes, other labels, or directly into products. They're usually attached to increasingly smaller cases and packages, and are meant to be disposable, which is referred to as an 'open-loop' application.
Despite these advances, passive RFID tags typically cost 35-45 cents in large quantities, 75-80 cents in small quantities, or up to 85 cents and more for active RFID tags with more reading, writing, data storage, range, and other performance capabilities. Unfortunately, this remains higher than the 5-10-cent threshold that RFID tags reportedly would have to achieve to make them economically viable in most mainstream, disposable, open-loop applications.
Passive tags are powered by the small amount of RF energy that excites them when they enter the electromagnetic field surrounding the RFID system's antenna or reader. For example, 13.56 Mhz tags allow readings at up to 1 m. Once the tag is charged, the reader can interact with it, and pass the tag's data to a linked controller, PLC, PC, or on up to higher-level enterprise systems.
Interference, security, robustness
Similar to any wireless technology, RFID is subject to interference, usually when close to metals and liquids. Physical hurdles typically require more capable and costly tags, readers, or other customized methods.
Simple distance and physical read-write limits usually prevent unauthorized access to tag data, while new RFID Gen 2 standards under development by the EPCglobal organization are expected to address some of these ongoing concerns. Gen 1 is a published EPCglobal standard that is already being used by many RFID developers.
Impinj reports that it recently launched a fully integrated RFID Gen 2 system that includes its fully compliant Gen 2 chips, tags, labels, inlays, and readers.
'Barcodes are the cheapest way to tell what a part is and where it's going, but there are many manufacturing environments, such as paint ovens, chemical processing, and meat packing, where barcodes simply won't work,' says Bradley Todd, Escort Memory Systems' (EMS) marketing manager. 'RFID tags can also aid enterprise resource planning (ERP)-level decision-making during production by handing off data to other tags further along in a process. For example, tags used to track cattle in a trial project in Argentina can add data to the facility's ERP system and write information to other closed-loop tags or barcodes on the packaging.'
Todd adds that Toyota South Africa recently implemented phase two of its RFID vehicle tracking system (VTS), which added EMS' LRP RFID reader-writer antenna and tags to the facility. System integrator EMS SA set up an RFID system that tracks cars through many production stages and final assembly. EMS reports this was an especially significant RFID application because re-useable and disposable tags were used in the same installation.
The first phase installed reusable, high-temperature HMS150 tags, while the second phase implemented LRP-L4982 label tags, which are lower-cost, credit card-sized, disposable paper tags that still have high memory storage characteristics.
'Because RFID tags can be read and written to after each step, any problems can be captured early in the process, which can save a lot of money and time later,' adds Todd.
Future evolution
By itself, RFID appears to have little to do with traditional control and automation. However, aided by databases and other existing information sources, RFID can genuinely aid control and automation, even if it skins that cat indirectly. In fact, upcoming technical advances, such as energy-harvesting, active RFID tags, will likely settle any present arguments by letting the tags serve as wireless transmitters of analog, digital, Ethernet, and/or Internet-based data. 'In the next two or three years RFID tags will likely be combined with temperatures sensors that will be able to continuously write to the tags for constant temperature indications,' says Arnold.
RFID in package connector monitors disinfectant dispensing, quality
Colder Products Co. reports that adding a very small read-write RFID tag to the connector on packaged bags of its liquid disinfectant allows them to be recognized by an 13.56-MHz RFID reader in the coupling that mates with the connectors. This universal dispensing coupling (UDCs) is part of a regulated sanitizing system integrated in AmeriSpa Inc.'s combined footbath/chair systems, which are used to deliver pedicures.
Rick Garber, Colder's smart technology business manager, says once the connector and coupling are permanently seated, information is encrypted on the RFID tag that reports and verifies remaining doses. Once the bag is empty, the tag reverts to real-only status.
Colder's RFID tag consists of a Phillips Semiconductor I-Code 1 RFID chip with 64 bytes, of which 8 bytes are read-only serial numbers, 48 bytes are for general-purpose, read-write data, and 8 bytes control access to parts of the chip.
Besides regulating dosing, Garber explains, the UDCs in the sanitizing system in AmerSpa's footbaths also prevent use of counterfeit cleaners, which potentially could lead to contamination and possible infections. He adds the reader in the coupling may even be linked to with higher-level networking, reporting, and ordering functions in the future.
Basic RFID glossary
Many essential RFID concepts are described by U.K.-based Pelican Control Systems Ltd. on its 'General RFID System Definition' Web page at
RFID tags/labels/transponders are identifiers fixed to items that need to be monitored or processed. Transponders differ in size, memory capacity, physical construction, and range.
Readers/scanners act as the monitoring and/or processing interface between transponders and the data environment. Readers manage the data communications process with transponders and then temporarily store or transmit the information to the data environment.
Operating frequency , typically below 1 MHz, 13.56 MHz and over 800 MHz, determines an RFID system's design characteristics, such as material penetration, data transfer rates, required energy, and operating distances.
Passive RFID systems use transponders energized by an external source, such as the antenna or reader. Passive transponders are usually cheaper than active ones, but their operating distance and data transfer capabilities are limited.
Active RFID systems overcome passive RFID limits by driving their logic circuitry with onboard energy via batteries or wired connections.
Induction, e-field disturbance (also known as backscatter or field disturbance modulation), and radio data communication are the three methods that allow RFID communication coupling between the tag and reader. Induction systems typically operate at low frequency (approximately 125 kHz) with few regulatory requirements, or at 13.56 MHz, where normal radio and spectrum allocation regulations apply. E-field is based on radio energy emitted by the reader, which is collected and reflected by the transponder. Radio data communication occurs when both the reader and transponder communicate using radio signal emissions.
Anti-contention communications protocol. If a system does not use an anti-contention communications protocol, it can only communicate with one transponder at a time. This means that transponders need to be separated and processed sequentially, which in practice may be laborious and time consuming. Anti-contention protocols also differ in their ability to process unique or duplicate identities, different volumes of transponders, and stable or changing populations of transponders.
Read-only memory transponders have a unique code programmed into them by the manufacturer that cannot be changed. The transponder identity has to be associated with a specific item via a lookup table. This provides a high level of data security, but is relatively inflexible.
Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) transponders can be programmed according to the specifications of the user in a process subsequent to manufacturing. Once encoded, the data cannot be changed. This provides a high level of security, and it is more flexible than read only memory.
Read-Write transponders contain memory that can be modified during normal operation. They're often used in dynamic database applications.

STOCKTON - The two bank robbery suspects killed in a gunfire exchange with police July 16 have a history of committing crimes together in San Joaquin County that goes back to more than 10 years, court records show.
STOCKTON - The two bank robbery suspects killed in a gunfire exchange with police July 16 have a history of committing crimes together in San Joaquin County that goes back to more than 10 years, court records show.
On Wednesday, 19-year-old Jaime Ramos was taken into custody after the other two suspects - Gilbert Renteria, 30, and Alex Martinez, 27 - had been killed in a shootout with police. The three are suspected of carrying out a heist at a north Stockton Bank of the West, taking hostages and engaging in a high-speed chase as they shot at officers, police said.
The ordeal ended with one hostage, Misty Holt-Singh, who police say was used as a shield, losing her life. Two other hostages survived with major injuries.
According to old search warrant returns, Renteria and Martinez have been part of the same crew of dope dealers in a Norte�o gang.
A search warrant return filed in 2008 says Renteria was connected to a home that narcotics investigators raided in 2003 and found methamphetamine, a large amount of marijuana and loaded firearms.
The court papers also say Renteria and his girlfriend, Angelica Tovar, the mother of his child, were arrested together for sex trafficking. "Renteria was the pimp and Angelica Tovar was the prostitute," court papers say.
One particular day in November 2006, investigators observed Tovar get into several vehicles. A detective "stopped Tovar, and Renteria subsequently drove to their location, pulled a firearm and advanced" on the detective.
That same search warrant return states Renteria and Martinez were part of the same group known for selling crystal methamphetamine in Stockton.
Investigators had been tracing their steps for a few years and linking them to various drug houses when that search warrant return was filed.
"I believe they along with their girlfriends, Monica Lam and Angelica Tovar, are conspiring to sell or still selling illegal narcotics and cultivating marijuana within the City of Stockton," Detective Steven Cole reported.
A criminal complaint filed in 2007 charges Martinez with possession of a controlled substance, ammunition charges and failure to appear in court.
A search warrant return on that case states Martinez sold narcotics to an informant with Lam, his girlfriend, present and while under surveillance.
"As the three met and conversed, I watched Alex Gregory Martinez and (the informant) complete a hand to hand transaction," Detective Jimmy Fritts reported. "During the transaction I could hear Alex Gregory Martinez discuss the quality of the suspected crystal methamphetamine."
Court records indicate Martinez pleaded no contest to all three charges in connection to that case.
Another complaint filed in November 2008, names both Renteria and Martinez and other defendants for possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of marijuana for sale, marijuana cultivation and street terrorism.
Renteria and Tovar were additionally charged with child endangerment for putting their then-8-month-old child in harm's way.
Martinez additionally was charged with committing a felony while released on bail or on his own recognizance.
Renteria pleaded guilty to two of the counts and received probation, while the case against Martinez was dismissed for a lack of evidence.
But before that case was resolved, Renteria racked up new charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm, exhibiting a firearm in the presence of a peace officer and reckless driving. He pleaded no contest to exhibiting the firearm, and the other charges were dismissed.
Now Stockton police say they are confident Martinez had robbed that same Bank of the West branch on Jan. 31.
Investigators have reviewed surveillance footage from both incidents and spoken to witnesses who provided physical descriptions. In both robberies, someone dropped off the robbers. The men were armed, had similar disguises and left in employee vehicles, police said.
Deputy District Attorney Robert Himelblau, a spokesman for the county prosecutor's office, declined to comment on the suspects' criminal history following an arraignment hearing for the only suspect who came out alive in the shooting, 19-year-old Jaime Ramos.
Ramos did not have any criminal charges filed against him or any convictions on his record in the adult justice system in San Joaquin County prior to this case. Himelblau declined to say whether Ramos has a juvenile record. That information is not public record.

There are a few regions that you need to consider when you are organizing your youngster's room style; a portion of the nuts and bolts are incorporated here.
While adorning your young people room, a few thoughts that she thinks of probably won't be what you would have decided for her. Recalling this is her zone and enabling her to convey what needs be in her room is superior to having her disappointed and choosing to go to limits to discover her uniqueness. Young person room thoughts should originate from your youngster, at that point, you can add to it or enhance it if need be.
Get a bit of paper and scale a model of the room with the goal that you can perceive what furniture you need and where you need to keep it. You can choose what size of bed you will have and how much room you have for furniture. This will spare time adjusting furniture to perceive how you need the room beautified and will enable you to come to up with thoughts of what will fit in your young person's room also.
Keep in mind you are working with a young person and not a tyke, so room thoughts ought to mirror that. Amid the youngster years, inclinations will change, and it might be difficult to stay aware of what is in and what is out. Having a region to examine, or to simply unwind and peruse a book is an extraordinary thought for your adolescent's room. Giving your adolescent a space in her room to tune in to music and set aside the opportunity to herself is incredible. You can likewise incorporate a PC for her to do homework in the event that you might want. This is something that you should possibly do in the event that you feel she is sufficiently capable to deal with it. Giving your young person an excess of duty on the double can make her end up lost. Enabling your young person to enable comes to up with room thoughts will help the procedure gigantically.

As a former coordinator of Study-Abroad programs, she is intimately aware of what study-abroad opportunities best serve the needs of our students. And as the coordinator of international programs from Japan, Mexico and other parts of the world, Amy is precisely the kind of leader Hope needs as we seek to increase Hope's presence in the world."
Otis joined the staff shortly after graduating from the college with a German major, serving initially as office manager and coordinator of special programs. She was promoted to assistant director in 2002 and associate director in 2006. Her activities also included advising the Hope Asian Perspective Association (HAPA), Mortar Board and the International Christian Fellowship (ICF) student groups.
During the 2001-02 academic year, Otis studied at the Torchbearer Bible School in Holysbybrunn, Sweden. In July of this year she completed a Master of Arts degree in conflict transformation and peace studies at the School for International Training.
Otis was born and raised in Germany and moved to the United States when she was in high school. While attending Hope she spent a semester studying in Freiburg, Germany, and participated in a May Term course in Mexico, and she also served as a research assistant in German in the department of modern and classical languages.
International education has been a component of a Hope education since shortly after the college's founding in 1866. Two out of the six students in Hope's graduating Class of 1879 were Japanese; one of the two was the valedictorian, delivering the graduation address in both Latin and Japanese.
The office of international education was formally established in April 1965, announced during a visit to Holland and Hope by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. The prince was in Holland for the dedication of WindmillIsland.
During 2006-07, 134 Hope students spent either the academic year or a semester in 27 different countries; in addition, many Hope students also participated in shorter-term study-abroad programs, such as the college's long-running Vienna Summer School held in May and June. Also during the 2006-07 school year, Hope hosted 67 international students from 29 countries.
A recent survey by the Institute of International Education (IIE) ranked Hope first among four-year colleges for the number of students it sent on long-term study-abroad programs, defined as academic-year programs, during 2004-05. The college also placed sixth nationwide on the same measure among colleges and universities of any type.
Titled "Meeting America's Global Education Challenge: Current Trends in U.S. Study Abroad and The Impact of Strategic Diversity Initiatives," the report was released in May. The report emphasizes the importance of study abroad, noting "To succeed and prosper in a global economy and interconnected world, U.S. students need international knowledge, intercultural communication skills, and global perspectives."

Use the following trick to get The Intimidator as soon as you start the game. First, go to select your favorite driver. On top, you should see Dale Earnhardt as a selectable favorite driver. When you choose him, you will automatically get his Thunder Plate. Later, you can change the favorite driver to whomever desired and still have the Thunder Plate.Easy points
Unlock the Ford Lightning SVT truck. Go to "Production Racing" in race now mode. Choos a truck (for example, Mark Martin). Select Talladega (the longer the race, the more points you can get). Start the race. All the AI trucks will only reach about 80 mph. You can get lots of points for leading, plus bonus points for each truck you lap. The lap ratio is about 2 to 1. In a six lap race it is possible to lap the field three times.
Note: Just after you put your second lap on the entire field, slam on your brakes and let them pass you back. Then, hammer the gas and pass them again. Keep doing this, as you will get 25 bonus points lapping an opponent for each truck. This results in an additional 175 points every time you re-pass them. Because you still keep them one lap down, you will continue to get your leading points even when you sitting still waiting for them to re-pass you.Easy Bud Shootout and Nextel Challenge win
While racing in the Bud Shootout or Nextel Challenge, pit on the first lap. After everyone else pits, you should have good track position and be able to win. If you come out in the lead, prepare to block.Bump draft
This trick works best at super speedways. once you get behind a car, bump him in the center of the rear end. Do not spin him out or swipe the rear end. If done correctly, this will move you and the car ahead of you up through the pack. It should not affect the respect you have for him. Do not do this in the turns -- just on the straight aways.Drift corners
Get a Featherlite and go to a short track such as Dodge Raceway Stadium, Levi Strauss Signature Track, etc. Around the corners, get your car halfway on the apron and half on the track. Your car should start sliding, but not enough to spin. Note: You will lose some time, but not a lot.Drivers

Ancient wonders of Niah
It is pitch black, cold… and eerily scary. Brrr…gives me the goosebumps. No wonder bats like to live here. Eeeeekkk!!!! What was that?! Arrgh…flying insects… I was trying my best to walk as slowly as possible on the slippery plank walk, with trusty headlamps lighting the way. It was a torture, especially with guano– bat dung 'perfume', its smell hanging heavily in the air. The silence around me was eerily spooky.

The Ditsong National Museum of Natural History formerly known as the Transvaal Museum was founded as the Staatsmuseum of the ZAR on the 1st of December 1892.
And it has, since then acted as custodian and documentation centre of South Africa's natural heritage.The Museum's collections and exhibits include hominid fossils from the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site and associated fauna, including Mrs Ples [the nickname attributed to a fossil skull believed to represent a distant relative of all humankind]; fossils, skeletons, skins and mounted specimens of amphibians, fish, invertebrates, reptiles and mammals. On these collections are based the Museum's educational programmes, research is done and information is communicated to all people of South Africa as well as to the international community.
The Ditsong National Museum of Natural History is the only natural history museum in Gauteng and one of the largest in South Africa. It is unique in that it is the only institute in South Africa that offers the local, national and international community the opportunity to view its collections including original fossil material usually denied the public.
Educational Programmes
A comprehensive series of programmes and conducted tours is offered to schools, students and tourists in various South African languages. All education programmes are aligned to CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement). Booking is essential to participate in these activities. Please use e-mail to contact us while our phone system is being upgraded – firstname.lastname@example.com.
Discovery Centre
A hands-on activity centre, where the five human senses are used to discover the wonders of nature, offering an invaluable educational adventure. It affords easy access for wheelchairs and display texts are also transcribed in Braille. This centre is ideal for younger learners that are eager to explore with their hands.
Public Programmes
Throughout the year talks are held at the Museum by various established researchers and scientists. Please check back regularly with the "Upcoming events" page or contact the Public Programmes Department.
Museum View
The Ditsong National Museum of Natural History researchers, as well as scientists from other institutions doing research can submit scientific papers to the annals. The major publications are the Annals of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History and the Monograph series.
The Museum has exchange agreements with a large number of scientific institutions, both abroad and in South Africa and 342 copies of the Annals of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History and 280 copies of the Monographs of the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History are distributed annually. Up to 2010 the annals were known as the Annals of the Transvaal Museum. For quality control of documents, articles, news releases and reports, please contact: Dr Martin Krüger at email@example.com

Head Liquidmetal Tennis Racquets
Head tennis racquets continue to lead the market in technological innovations and advanced materials. Head Liquidmetal tennis racquets use a never-before-seen material that harvests the energy of impact and feeds it into your return.
Liquidmetal technology
Liquidmetal has a liquid atomic structure that is 2.5 times stronger than the standard atomic structure of titanium and does not deform on impact like titanium. Racquet deformation is the leading cause of energy loss in returns. Liquidmetal is applied to four strategic racquet head locations for optimal energy harvesting. The result is a return with 29 percent more power than a racquet of standard titanium construction.
The total advantage of Liquidmetal is enhanced by TSC (Total Sweetspot Construction), a NoShox Dampening System and an ISD (Integrated String Dampener).
Head TSC (Total Sweetspot Construction)
Total Sweetspot Construction extends the sweets pot throughout the entire racquet head by increasing torsional stability in the racquet head. The corrugated structure of TSC enhances surface rigidity, strength and stiffness.
Head NoShox Dampening System
The NoShox dampening system reduces harmful racquet vibrations by more than 27 percent. The memory foam material in the handle absorbs impact vibrations before they reach your hand, preventing long-term and painful injury.
Head ISD (Integrated String Dampener)
The Integrated String Dampener is set right into the grommets and reduces string vibrations and dampens sound.
The technology in Head Liquidmetal tennis racquets channel the energy created by the impact of the ball into a maximum power return for a faster, more precise and more powerful game than ever before.

RB007 – Ribbon Flow 007 – S-Curve
The S-curve flow allows you to place more text into the segments. It's also a little more interesting on the page. The two turns can be as a result of an event, which you can describe in fields on the inside of the flow S curves. There isn't a lot of space for peripheral text with these frameworks – the emphasis should be on the flow itself and not descriptions for the flow segments.
The S curve also suggests a meandering, longer route rather than a straight, point-A-to-point-B route. Use icons or photographs to visually communicate the flow steps (as in the series example). The series example is also not necessarily a flow from one segment to the next; but, rather, a full representation of all the aspects of an education. Therefore, it is a nontraditional flow: the educational process is a flow but the pieces of the education happen in concert.
Animate with simple reveals.
This image is provided to show one example of how you could use this framework in a presentation.

Small plane crash on Fla. beach: 1 dead, 1 injured
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — A father was killed and his 9-year-old daughter critically injured Sunday while walking along a Florida beach when a small plane crash landed on the Gulf Coast only feet from the surf, authorities said.
Wendy Rose, a spokeswoman for the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, said the pilot and his only passenger weren't hurt when the Piper aircraft lost power and touched down Sunday afternoon on a beach in Venice, Florida, as the two from Georgia were waling along the sand.
"A man and one of his children who were walking on the beach were apparently injured by the plane," said Rose, adding the 36-year-old man from Georgia was later pronounced dead.
She said events began unfolding about 2:45 p.m. Sunday when the Venice airport received a distress call that the plane was unable to return to the airport.
"They were contacted by a pilot whose small plane was in distress. He knew he couldn't make it back to the airport and was going to try to land on the beach. And he did land at the edge of the water on the beach," Rose said.
She said the girl was airlifted to a children's hospital where she was in critical condition. Details of her injuries weren't immediately released
New photos and video footage from the beach showed the Piper Cherokee, its nose pointed down and nearly touching white sands only feet from what appeared to be a gentle lapping surf. The left wing appeared to extend slightly over the water's edge. A police boat was anchored nearby and a law enforcement officer stood beside the aircraft. Bystanders gawked from a distance.
Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, told The Associated Press in an email that the FAA was investigating. She said the plane reportedly lost power and landed on the sand near Caspersen Beach in Venice but she had no further details as of Sunday evening.
National Transportation and Safety Board investigators have headed to the site.
"We don't know exactly what caused the crash but the NTSB is en route and will investigate," added Rose, a community affairs manager for the sheriff's office.
Rose later released a statement identifying the dead man as 36-year-old Ommy Irizarry and the injured girl as Oceana Irizarry, 9. Rose said that while they were from Georgia, it wasn't immediately known exactly where they were from in the neighboring state.
The statement said 57-year-old Karl Kokomoor was the pilot and his passenger was David Theen, 60, both of Englewood, Florida.

Like the Everest-climbing George Leigh Mallory, modder Tyler saw a Linksys router and decided to shove a MacBook inside, "because it's there." Well, it was either that, or a Billy the Big Mouth Bass.
Using two Linksys routers, he rammed the MacBook's parts, along with the iSight camera and microphone in the joined-up cases, loaded Leopard and after slaving over it in the workshop for a few weeks, he was able to connect it to his monitor successfully.
Sure does beat having several broken routers in the attic like I do. [Phantomdev via Gearfuse]

In my twitter (and maybe in yours) and around the web, I keep hearing what I can only call an attempt to redeem Christopher Dorner's murderous rampage. These redemption narratives, from what I can tell, are a mish-mash of cynicism, anger and left-wing populism. Heaped on top of that is LAPD's incredibly ugly history of corruption, racism and mayhem. If you've forgotten what a mess that was, go here. Finally, there's the fact that Dorner himself claimed that he was motivated by racism within the department, and that he'd been fired after blowing the whistle on an instance of police brutality. It would not surprise me if both charges were true.
Four days before her death, Monica Quan had news for her team. Quan, an assistant coach at Cal State Fullerton, held up her hand to show off an engagement ring. The players screamed and huddled around her for a closer look, head coach Marcia Foster recalled. Quan was as happy as her basketball players, and later said she wished she had recorded the moment. She loved to have pictures taken with her friends. She wanted a big wedding, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, a public safety officer at USC, was trying to work extra hours to make it possible....
The couple was talking about who would be in the wedding party. They had yet to pick a date and a location when they were found Feb. 3, shortly after the Super Bowl, shot to death in their car in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium complex. They had multiple gunshot wounds. There were no signs of a robbery, and investigators ruled out a murder-suicide.
The next day, Quan's father got a call from a close friend of the family. Randal Quan, a former captain with the Los Angeles Police Department, and Wayne Caffey, a detective with the Southeast Division, had known one another for almost 25 years. Caffey recalled their conversation."We lost her," Quan said. "She's gone." The two men were overwhelmed by the senselessness of the slayings. We don't know anything, Quan said; we don't know what happened. He would later learn that his daughter and her fiance were probably killed by a former LAPD officer who had been fired in 2009; Randal Quan had represented Christopher Jordan Dorner at his termination hearing.What was once incomprehensible -- the deaths of these two young people -- was now considered a revenge killing. The reasons were spelled out in an 11,000-word post police found on a Facebook page that they believe belonged to Dorner, 33, who is now a fugitive."I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own," Dorner supposedly wrote. "I'm terminating yours."

Can't believe I haven't found this until now. Adam Nobody talks about the dickless pieces of shit who kicked him in the face after he was cuffed. Tough guys.
Note the memes that come out of this and have subsequently become ingrained in all post-G20 discussion: topping the list, the seminal "you should have stayed home" sentiment, wrong-headed though it is; the swaggering aura of unaccountability; the gratuitous sadism; and the overarching, stinking miasma of lies and insults to our intelligence. Thousands of cops right there. Egregiously criminal activity taking place right in front of their fucking noses. Not one of them lifts a finger to stop it. Not one of them sees, hears or remembers anything. Sorry, but if it's Adam Nobody's word against theirs, I know who I'd believe.
And we're coming up on almost two years later.
On a completely unrelated note, anyone know what Todd Storey and Luke Watson are doing?

What does a physical anthropologist study?
Beall: Anthropology in general is about people—all places, all times; so it is very broad. Within anthropology, there is a sub-group of physical anthropologists, also called biological anthropologists, and we are interested in the natural history and evolution of humans, including those of us living today. You may be more familiar with paleontologists, who are published on the front page of the New York Times and other popular media outlets when they find exciting new fossils; and that is an important area in physical anthropology.
Another important area is studying ongoing evolution in living people. The conceptual model used by both groups of scientists is evolution by natural selection. One of the things that those of us studying living people are interested in doing is explaining the huge range of variation that we see in the seven billion of us alive today. You look around, you see people of different sizes, of different shapes, of different skin colors, and those are traits you can see. If we move to traits we cannot see, there are even more variations. So, why are the variations there? Well, the answer is found in the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Do high altitudes present a case study for human evolution?
Beall: We know how evolution works when individuals or populations of organisms—or in this case people—are exposed to new environments. They develop different traits or different characteristics or capacities to survive and reproduce in a new environment. And so if you think in terms of designing an experiment, the biggest difference between the original environment and the new environment—the biggest stress—is likely the place where you can see evolution occurring.

A high altitude is a very good one because, for example, when you get to the top of Pikes Peak in the Colorado Mountains [Colorado Springs, CO], every time you take a breath of air, you are only getting about 60% of the oxygen molecules that you would get when you are in Philadelphia. That is an extreme stress because our bodies need a continuous supply of oxygen. We cannot store up oxygen like we store up calories, or say, Vitamin D. Instead, we have to have a continuous supply going to our mitochondria all the time. So, this is a problem for people at sea level who travel to Pikes Peak, where less than the usual amount of oxygen can even lead to medical problems, including altitude sickness.1
What happens to people who live at sea level when they visit high altitude places?
Beall: First, it is important to note that the partial pressure of oxygen, the amount of oxygen—let us say in a volume of air, like a lungful—is relative to how high an altitude you are. Therefore, 14,000 feet at Pikes Peak from the standpoint of stress is the same stress as 14,000 feet in Tibet. What differs is that if you are from Philadelphia, and you go to Pikes Peak, you are being acutely exposed. If you are a native of Philadelphia, or say Cleveland, Ohio, where I am from, chances are good you are not a native of high altitudes. You are in the majority of individuals, who was born and raised—and your parents were born and raised—at sea level.
All of us have a basic homeostatic method of response to cope with a decrease of oxygen. For example, let us say you get an infection in your lungs and become hypoxic; our bodies have responses to that. Let us say you are anemic, another sort of hypoxia, and you are not carrying the same amount of oxygen as you normally would at sea level—we have responses to that. We get various diseases here at sea level like sleep apnea, where people stop breathing for a while during sleep—that causes hypoxia. We have a long evolutionary history of responding to these kinds of hypoxia.

What is different when we go to high altitude is that this brief response now has to be sustained for a longer time somehow. This is where we differ enormously from Tibetan or Andean highlanders, who have been living at these high altitudes for 11,000 or more years. These people have had the opportunity to be exposed to natural selection over those 11,000 years. So, the hypothesis is, if we see biologically distinct characteristics, say of Andean highlanders, who are famous for having very big chests and very big lungs, then the hypothesis we would address is: Is this an adaptation? Does it function better than having small chests in a high altitude?
How do we know that people began settling in the high Andes and the Tibetan Plateau around 11,000 years ago?
Beall: The evidence comes from archaeology. There has been more archaeological investigation on the Andean Plateau because we have had access to the region far longer than the Tibetan Plateau. The evidence shows that from the earliest times there were people living there, rather than than the occasional group visiting. Tibet is a little more complicated because there is evidence that someone was there occasionally as far back as 35,000 years ago; but the evidence does not suggest the people were permanent residents. The 11,000 number, therefore, is the date for the time when archaeological evidence indicates that people were settled in these high altitude places for the long term.
To date, we do not know the circumstances that made people decide to live in these areas permanently.2 We do not think that they relocated suddenly. For example, we assume that people lower down the mountains were following herds of animals on their seasonal migration. They would experience temperature and altitude changes over time and gradually settle in higher location. People often ask me, "Why would anyone move there if it's colder, drier, or windier there?" I do not have an answer yet.
What happened over time to make living possible for settlers in these high altitudes?
Beall: Starting in the 1890s, scientists started writing about the blood of people living in high altitudes. There is a great paper from 1890, where a French physician [Viault] sampled a few high-altitude natives, non-natives, and domesticated animals at 14,000 feet in Peru.3 He noticed that there was an increase in the number of red blood cells in his own blood sample. We have been studying that interesting fact ever since. Andean highlanders have been studied for decades, too. They exhibit such a distinctive suite of characteristics that it is actually referred to as the Andean Man Model—very high levels of hemoglobin, large chests, large lungs, and a special breathing rhythm.
In the 1970s, a few of us started asking simple questions:
- Is this pattern found everywhere in the world?
- Where else on Earth can we go to find high-altitude natives?
At the time, Nepal had become accessible, and we began to study Tibetans who live on the northern border between Nepal and Tibet. These Tibetans have always lived in the area—they just happen to be on the other side of the border—they were not refugees. The first thing that we discovered right away was that they could live at high levels without having high hemoglobin concentrations or large chests—they breathe very heavily. That was the first indication that the results of highlander studies would yield different results when studying populations in the Andes and those in the Tibetan Plateau.4
To get back to your question, however, about what caused, or what might be an explanation for, the two different patterns. There are two possibilities, and right now, we cannot distinguish between them. One possibility is that by chance, the genes that the colonizers took with them to higher altitudes in Tibet were different from the genes taken to altitude by Andeans. Evolution can only work with what it has. So that is one possibility: chance.

Another possibility, however, is that it is possible that different mutations occurred in the last 10,000 years in these populations. We are still working on our knowledge of the genes involved. When we do more investigations, then we can really ask that question. We have recently discovered that genes play a role in the survival rate of Tibetan babies. Tibetan mothers who had copies of the allele [one of a pair or series of genes that control the same trait] for high oxygen saturation of hemoglobin had more than twice as many children that survived as mothers with a lower oxygen saturation genotype.
Do these two populations exhibit different medical problems?
Beall: Well, that is an interesting question, and I think there would be two speculations, but not necessarily firm, tested hypotheses. The Andean highlanders tend to have what we call hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (hypoxic—less than the normal amount of oxygen—pulmonary lung or vaso blood vessels constriction—a narrowing of the blood vessels in the lungs). Now think about that: what is going to happen, for example, when you make a hose narrower? Your pulmonary blood pressure (pulmonary hypertension) goes up—your lung blood pressure. Your lung blood pressure is regulated somewhat separately from your systemic blood pressure. As a result, this is something that you and I—if we went to Pikes Peak—would experience immediately; that is, hypoxic pulmonary constriction and the increase in pulmonary blood pressure.
In the Andes, we see a lot of this high pulmonary blood pressure associated with hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. It is so noteworthy that there is even remodeling—a different shape of the pulmonary vessels in Andean highlanders. This pulmonary hypertension has the potential for pathological consequences if it gets very bad. Tibetans on the other hand, do not show this hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. We hypothesize that this is related to a molecule called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator; it is something that we produce in our blood vessels, as well as other places, and it causes blood vessels to widen. We have discovered that Tibetans make, amazingly, orders of magnitude more nitric oxide than we do here at sea level. They have more than double amounts of it in their lungs than we do. Tibetans are making all this "extra" nitric oxide, causing their blood vessels to remain relaxed.
Can modern medicine learn something from people who live in high altitudes?
Beall: Yes, it can. One example is the famous Viagra® [generic = Sildenafil] study on Mt. Everest.5 Nitric oxide works on the same chemical pathway as Viagra; it causes relaxation of blood vessels. In the case of Viagra, you are interested in relaxing the enlarging blood vessels of the penis so that blood can flow. Well at high altitude, it is important to relaxing your blood vessels in general. Therefore, this led to the Viagra experiment. People were joking about it for a while. German scientists wondered if Viagra would improve physiological function at high altitude. The researchers had a placebo group and a Viagra group to test if Viagra would improve oxygen uptake and exercise capacity. And it did!
Another application is helping people deal with hypoxia. When people travel to high altitudes. they can experience acute mountain sickness.1 The symptoms of the disease vary: headaches, impaired thinking, vomiting, sleeplessness, and diminished capacity for physical activity. Some people develop life-threatening high-altitude pulmonary edema or cerebral edema. People suffering from sleep apnea or heart problems can be particularly susceptible to diseases associated with hypoxia. Studies of healthy highlanders may provide clues to new approaches and therapies for hypoxia for people everywhere—no matter how high or how low they live relative to sea level.

Thank you, comingfrom. You're forcing me to reorganize my thoughts and find new ones.
comingfrom wrote. E/M is photons. The photons are not diminished, on this we agree.
The spins are cancelled (for attraction) and stacked (for repulsion), and the cancelling or adding of the spin component, you are simply adding or subtracting to the linear component of field.
In my mind, removing the orthogonal vector (the spins) from the field still leaves the linear vector.
Airman. Agreed. All photons emitted by any matter are described by both linear (electric) and spin (magnetic) motions. Magnets have coherent spin emissions. I'm not real clear on what coherent means, but I don't see any problems accepting various spin orientation and phase combinations in thinking about it. Miles gives an "oversimplified" example in the Magnetism paper; I interpret it (his use of the word "oversimplified") to the fact we understand that one doesn't just add orthogonal vectors directly. Nevertheless, addition or cancellation of the spin components causes a huge change in the repulsive strength of the charge field between the magnets. It seems true that the linear, electric components are unaffected.
Airman wrote. Gaining or losing magnetism (through heat or contact with a permanent magnet) doesn't necessarily imply reorienting atoms. If magnetic solids such as iron were so malleable, I would think they would quickly disintegrate. Imo, stroking a nail with a magnet changes the aggregate photon charge channel flow paths through the nail, not the physical positions of the atoms.
comingfrom wrote. You are saying there is a total amount of magnetic charge held in store, in a magnet.
Airman. I think I'm saying there's a relative constant amount of nuclear charge recycling capacity. The presence of magnetism increases the net field strength and recycling rate over non-magnetic conditions, reflecting a higher energy state. We may be able to change, to some extent, the internal distribution of the nuclear charge flow. To make a silly analogy, your magnetism is improved by combing your hair. Rubbing a nail with a magnet causes a reordering, a redistribution of the photon charge flows within the nail, while under an increased energy field (contact with the magnet), changing a less ordered domain constrained pattern into a more coherent charge channel current flow distribution pattern. Whew.
comingfrom wrote. But it leads me to this question: Why don't electromagnets stay magnetic when the charge is switched off?
Airman. You only think they might, due to the residual magnetism of iron. Copper is simply non-magnetic in normal ambient conditions, meaning copper emissions are linear with less predictable spin directions or no discernable spin-coherency. Any driving voltage will increase E/M energy above the surrounding ambient levels at which time magnetism is detected. I may not have a proper answer, the question doesn't seem as unanswerable as it was over a hundred years ago.
comingfrom wrote. And can you explain why iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet?
Airman. No, I suppose I can't. I'll start rationalizing. Iron is a perfect conduit of magnetism. That may be due to the fact that Iron is so perfectly balanced. No matter what azimuthal directions iron's photons are emitted, they have traveled through the atom the same phase length.
Airman wrote. I'm not sure if you are satisfied with argument for or against. Solo gravity just causes an acceleration. I don't believe magnets are held together by solo gravity, instead, the charge channels of the two magnets are joined
comingfrom wrote. You are trying to make an argument for solo-gravity being the force of attraction between magnets, but you don't believe it?
You must mean, once the magnets are in contact, then the charge channeling takes over and gravity between the magnets disappears (because the magnets have become one body). Yes?
Airman. Correct. Solo gravity is the source of the apparent attraction. I believe the magnetic bond exceeds the acceleration of solo gravity alone. It takes additional force to separate the magnets.
comingfrom wrote. I have read it, and I have just gone and read it again.
I actually like the explanation there, it seems to be a good explanation of why the magnetic elements are magnetic, and of how the magnet field is produced.
It doesn't explain for me why these elements process a magnetic field differently to the ambient field.
It is the magnetic elements' response to magnetic fields that is left out of the explanation, imo.
Gravity is given for the explanation why magnets come together, but these elements will respond to magnetic fields when in a plasma too.
Airman. Miles doesn't tell us everything. Too bad. Still, you must admit he left a pile of tools and clues to approach the problem. A charge field easter egg hunt, makes me feel like a kid again.
comingfrom wrote. The iron atom works somewhat like a turbine, that will propel itself in a spin cohered field.
Airman. Ok. Here's an image of an iron atom (at the bottom of this post) as Mathis describes it and Nevyn simulates it at http://www.nevyns-lab.com/ . It's clearer in motion. The green spheres are neutrons. The red spheres are protons. The blue and grey discs are proton equatorial emission planes; protons spin at c, most photons will be emitted along the proton equator, so maximum repulsion is felt in those emission planes. There are little electrons - yellow – too small to distinguish easily here, and photons are included as grey dots, a fuzzy appearance. The bright white lines are the main nuclear charge channels. Spacing is guesswork.
The atomic image of Iron appears at the bottom of this post. No joy bringing it here. Check the Atomic Viewer at Neveyns Lab for a much better view.
The atom is aligned to the charge field. The main vertical column is in line with the Earth's upward emission field, thereby maximizing charge intake and throughput efficiency. The image may be a bit confusing or blurry, still one can see, Iron is finely balanced: the main column, 6 protons above, configured the same as the 6 protons below; four identical horizontal arms. I have no doubt the iron atom spins as it is propelled through space. How does that change in a spin-cohered field?
comingfrom wrote. Even a single proton acts as a turbine, cycling and recycling charge. I was looking at the animations of a photon spun up (at the forum you linked above), and could see the "turbine blades" (shape) formed by the photon path. If put on an outer axial spin, then those turbine blades are spinning around, enabling it to suck non spun up photons in through its poles.
Airman. I think you're referring to a stacked spin, but I have no idea which. Instead, here's another proton by Nevyn, also aligned with a vertical emission field, thus creating its horizontal emission plane. Like iron, hydrogen can receive photons from all directions, and redirects them into the proton's own emission plane. Here we clearly see spin-coherent equatorial photon emissions. The proton itself is probably a perfect magnet. This image is shown in motion at Nevyns Lab.
comingfrom wrote. Turbo protons and electrons may also explain the way they move in electric fields, rather than the simple direct bombardment model, which would send both in same direction. But we know they go in opposite directions. The electron's spins causes it to processes charge photons oppositely to how protons do, whereby they propel themselves in opposite directions in the field.
Airman. Equal and opposite reactions between electrons and protons require closer study. Too many unknowns. From above we now know that a strong magnetic field yields two E/M results, 1) strictly linear, magnetic components cancelled; or 2) linear plus 2x magnetic component. Also I'm convinced there are always two-way, contra, charge and anti-charge flows. How do they contribute?
Airman wrote. Will they follow magnetic field lines?
comingfrom wrote. The field lines are the direction of force in the field, and yes, they follow the direction of forces in the field.
Airman wrote. Everything depends on collisions. It's hard to distinguish exactly what kind of collisions/velocities you're talking about.
comingfrom wrote. I'm talking about inside of electrons and protons, when the photons which are being cycled collide with the spun up photon that is the electron or proton. Or maybe they only collide with the photons which are being recycled.
Airman. Whoa comingfrom! Talking about the inside of a charged particle! That's new territory. I'll try to keep up.
comingfrom wrote. The exact details of how energy is transmitted from photon field to baryon, and vica versa, isn't yet clear in my mind.
Since the baryons are recycling photons, I don't see the acceleration of particles in a field as being caused by simple straight bombardment. Though I believe there is collision contact, for energy to be transferred.
Airman. I don't believe the exact details are clear to anyone yet. Photons and anti-photons from all exposed directions can collide with the baryon, keeping its energy high. The baryon would react to that ambient photon intake with a resultant average velocity and spin speed. Coherent Spins present in a magnetic field result in coherent receipt of that energy, increasing the baryon's own spin speed without necessarily affecting the baryon's linear velocity. Two different result velocities and spin rates.
The baryon dumps energy by emitting photons. How is the energy balance maintained? Is there an E/M balance change between photons emitted in either magnetic or nonmagnetic fields? Protons receiving maximum spin boosts from the field must recycle photons at an increased rate.
comingfrom wrote. I believe the rotation of celestial bodies is maintained by the photon field, and that the energy transfer is happening inside the atoms of the suns and planets.
Airman. Welcome to the heavenly choir.
Airman wrote. Please make a simple diagram.
comingfrom wrote. Rather than make one, I'll find and "official" one that shows what I am speaking about.
