The story of Demerara Distillers started in 1670 when every sugar estate had its own rum still, and a group of sugar cane producers formed an exporting co-operative. This early production of rum for sailors was the beginning of the company today.
From over 300 sugar estates to one company!
In the 17th and 18th centuries, there were in excess of 200 small distilleries operating in Guyana, each attached to the existing sugar plantations, each with its own special blend of rum. However, following the years of consolidation and amalgamation, there remains today just the one unrivalled distillery at Plantation Diamond on the East Bank of Demerara - wholly owned and operated by Demerara Distillers Limited.
At Diamond, the standards and methods of this age-old industry have been maintained and the unique original heritage stills and equipment have been preserved in working order – all operating in tandem with the most up to date production technology.
Unrivalled bulk rum capacity
The distillery has the capacity to produce in excess of 26 M litres of pure alcohol annually, and is the largest supplier of bulk rums and alcohols from the Caribbean to brand owners in Europe and North America. The company's impressive list of clientele includes companies such as Diageo, Jim Beam Brands, Hiram Walker, Allied Distillers, and Corby's.
The El Dorado brand - an unrivalled range
From the launch in 1992 by Demerara Distillers of their El Dorado range of Demerara Rums on the local and international market, the brand has gone from strength to strength, epitomising the unique quality of the true taste of Demerara.
It was in that year that DDL became the first rum producer in the world to market a premium quality aged rum: El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve. Since then this superb spirit has become the internationally recognised benchmark for aged rums and the company has gone on to develop an unrivalled portfolio of Age Statement Rums.
Demerara Distillers is an internationally recognised producer of award-winning rums with a range of over 20 different varieties of premium, standard and speciality products, all with the distinctive Demerara 'stamp' of quality and flavour.
Green credentials
DDL also possesses its own CO2 plant, utilising the waste product from the distillery to produce piped liquified gas for their aerated beverage plant, as well as cylinder gas for industrial use and dry ice for the fishing and frozen food industries.
Warehousing for over 50,000 barrels ensures availability of aged spirits for premium rums
In addition, the company has a gin-flavouring still, liqueur production facilities and raw sugar caramel plants. The corporate head office, marketing division, central quality control laboratory, R&D department, export terminal and shipping office are all located in Georgetown.

How to Find the Traffic of Any Website on the Internet
Have you ever wondered how many people visit TechCrunch every month? How about the New York Times? How about how many people are visiting the site of your competitors?
Recently I discovered a tool that is quite handy for digging out those numbers. Before presenting the tool, though, here's a caveat: in theory it's impossible for an external tool to know exactly how many visitors any website has, because this is information is private to the owners of that site. Most tools that offer those numbers do so based on their own research and estimations, so you should always pick that data with a grain of salt.
That being said, as far as I can tell the numbers presented by this tool are quite solid. It's called SimilarWeb.com. You just need to input the URL of the website and it will give you a brief report about it. Here are some examples of their traffic estimations:
- DailyBlogTips – 340 thousand monthly visitors
- TechCrunch – 34 million monthly visitors
- New York Times – 140 million monthly visitors
I can verify the DailyBlogTips number, and it's quite close. The TechCrunch number is also not far off, because the official 'Advertise with Us' page say they receive 34 million monthly page views, but it might not have been updated in a while. The NYTimes number could be correct as well, as I heard back in 2012 they were receiving 80 million visitors per month.
As I said, it's probably the best traffic prediction tool I have seen in a while, so check it out. If you have been using something else with good results please let us know with a comment below.

Yes, I also tried it for my website, It is quite close to the sessions in Google Analytics, However it is not showing the unique visitors, is there any tool to display the unique visitors
Akshit Wadhwa
Hi Daniel, I didn't know about similarweb.com but there is one more site which I use to check traffic is
Not enough data… Seems my website is not there yet.
Bryan Ring
I have been using SEO QUAKE for roughly 3 years now. The ALEXA feature provides a ranking for me, after some time has gone by "Not Enough Data" will appear.
My ranking with this tool looks awesome for a Landscape Company website among my competitors. I suppose I will have to give this a test run and measure against other website ranking tools.
Looks great so far to me.
This was really very useful,I need this badly to check out the competitors.Thanks a ton for this useful content.
Mustafa Gaziani
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for sharing this great tool. But this tool not showing a perfect data for website, I checked several websites ranking and its differ from alexa ranking.
This seems like a great tool – and once again, provided just at the right moment for me.
I have been following you for a while now, Daniel – thanks for all of the great advice!
Gary Trautloff
Many tools used till the time, found this one quite handy. Wondered how fast it displays the results.
i've found the data a bit of a guesstimate too, but am hoping the more traffic i get the more accurate the number will become!!
It was a great info.Never heard of SimilarWeb.com before.Thanks to this post that made to aware of this tool that will help me in finding the traffic of any website on internet.
Thanks for the share.
Daniel Scocco
@Rahul and DK, I agree.
Similarweb is a fantastic site I use it regularly, some times the no do differ but most of the times it gives 90% correct data. I dont like Alexa and quantacast, quantacast can give nos for big sites only.
Seems to be a handy tool. I hope its more accurate than say Alexa in terms of the estimates. Alexa even today is quite off in making estimates of traffic and I can attest to that as I have websites getting more traffic yet is ranked poorly on it compared to a site getting less.
Nevertheless, similarweb reminds me of Quantcast back in its early days.
Hi Daniel,
Informative post. While alexa.com used to be good source of website traffic and demographic information, off-late I have seen problems with their information. Compete and many other sites were offering similar services as well but these days, most of them have transformed into paid sites and are focusing more on providing better services to the paid customers and have hence kind of ignored the free users.
Similarweb is comparatively a better service with a few good options even for the free users. Though the accuracy of their information is still a point of doubt, your post gives us a good enough confidence to think that they are accurate.
Similarweb vs alexa , what rank different? now im learn to increase traffic for my site, On alexa my rank is 18mil+, on similar my rank is 7mil+ ,why?
Rahul Dubey
Hey Daniel ! How are you ?
Great to learn about such tool. But when I searched to verify my own blog's traffic, I found there is a huge difference in not only traffic but global rank also.
Though it doesn't takes anything other than time to give it a go but I don't recommend it. It's not worth trying. You'll get outdated data.
Any other who has verified their traffic right ??
Please let us know… !
Thanks !
Steve B
Yes, I would also agree that higher traffic volume sites are more accurate, sort of like Alexa. These are only estimates based on the tool's external data and whatever algorithm they use to come up with their final numbers.
Kevin Duncan
I noticed the same. If your site is small or new (mine is not even 3-months old), SimilarWeb.com's numbers seem to be guesstimates.
Still… it's a pretty handy tool!
Vahid Chaychi
Hi Daniel,
Thank you.
It seems the higher a website traffic, the more accurate the similarweb.com numbers are. Have you come to this conclusion too?
Ryan Biddulph
Hi Daniel,
Great tool, and great numbers dude.
I agree with Kevin; awesome to see an update here. It's also cool to know how your niche mates are driving traffic and to what extent.
Sites like the NYT and Tech Crunch can be a bit out of our league traffic wise or they can inspire us to do something cool, to aim really, really high.
Maybe we can't generate millions of hits each month but by partnering with other bloggers and building mutually beneficial relationships you never know where this intelligent approach can take you.
The NYT started off as a small outfit offline I'm sure. Every wild success starts somewhere.
Thanks for the cool share.
Tweeting in a bit.
Kevin Duncan
Hey Daniel,
Good to see DBT update! Whomever replaces Ali will have big shoes to fill. 🙂
I'd never heard of SimilarWeb.com before. Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check it out.
Jeremy Myers
Right on the money for my sites! Amazing.
I used to use Compete for this, but then they stopped offering this information for free. Thanks for pointing out the new site!

The first thing that struck me when I reached the venue of the Nirmal Bharat Yatra in Indore, Madhya Pradesh was the vibrant colours that brought the entire event to life, even before visitors started streaming in. The stalls and games were all set up, the volunteers in their positions waiting for the children to come charging in, as they did a short while after we arrived. The hot afternoon sun rose quickly overhead, promising for a dry, hot and dusty two days ahead. Yet the heat did not deter the crowds of visitors who came to the Yatra in Indore, especially on the first day.

Part of the reason the first day was so crowded in Indore was also because Jairam Ramesh, Union Minister for Rural Development was scheduled to inaugurate the Indore leg. He showed up as planned, along with a whole bunch of other State level ministers and Gram Panchayat leaders. The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan was also present and talked about Madhya Pradesh's progress in the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (the erstwhile Total Sanitation Campaign). All the local leaders were in full agreement with the Union Minister, that sanitation was a problem that had to be solved. This was an interesting dynamic to see on the stage because the inauguration in Indore was just a few days on the heels of Mr. Ramesh's controversial statement in the press that India unfortunately has more temples than toilets - a remark for which he was attacked by the opposition BJP at the Centre. The ruling party in Madhya Pradesh is the BJP, but this controversy did not arise in the interaction between Mr. Ramesh and the state level representatives in Indore. All the state leaders were in complete agreement that greater toilet coverage and usage and better hygiene practices were essential for MP to move forward. In fact, Mr. Ramesh took his temples and toilets remark even further at the inauguration by saying that practicing hygiene was as important as performing pujas. Clearly he is not one to shy away from controversy! Many male members of the crowd nodded in agreement to Mr. Ramesh's remarks that it is absolutely shameful that in this day and age, our mothers, grandmothers, daughters, wives and sisters have to suffer the indignity of defecating in the open. From this reaction, one could infer that many men do not, in fact, like that the women in their families have to resort to this, and that if they had access to toilets they would definitely use them. While many men did not seem interested in toilets for themselves, they did have a vested interest in building toilets for their women.
The games at the Yatra are designed to deliver messages on safe sanitation and hygiene in a manner that is easy for school children to understand, and entertaining to keep them engaged. Many are fun adaptations of games that we are all familiar with. Musical Toilets, for instance is an adaptation of Musical Chairs. The mechanics of the game are the same, only instead of chairs there are Indian style toilets.

Then there is Poo Hoop, which consists of cut outs of squat toilets placed on a wall. The aim of the game is to get a ball into one of the toilets with a slingshot. Different toilets on the board have different points.
Crowds throng the Poo Hoop stall in Indore
Do you remember the simple joy of playing marbles? When children today have Playstation, Nintendo and the TV to entertain themselves, Push out the Germs is a refreshing take on the age old game of marbles or 'kanchey', which is still very popular in rural India to this day. The game can be played by one or two players. Poo marbles are of two colors, and each player needs to get his or her poo pieces into the loo first. The two colors could also represent points in a single player variant of the game.
Push out the Germs
WASH United, one of the organisers of the Nirmal Bharat Yatra has developed all of the games on display. Their philosophy is to use fun ways to engage with people on serious issues like sanitation and hygiene. They have developed 20 games for the Yatra, all of which are being run by a team of energetic, enthusiastic volunteers. In Africa, they used the power and status of football to deliver strong messages on sanitation and hygiene. In India, they are using cricket to implement the same concept. Cricket Poo in the Loo is one example of this, where the player has to smack the poo-balls into the Indian squat toilets. The toilets represent different number of runs depending on the complexity. Each player gets 1 over (6 balls) to make a minimum of 12 runs. This game can also be played in teams, and recreates a setting similar to cricket practice nets with a bowling machine and a volunteer as the umpire.
Poo in the Loo
Poo Minefield is played in two teams. One player is blindfolded from the team, and needs to be guided through the minefield by the rest of his or her team. Using only verbal commands, the player has to ensure that their blind folded teammate navigates the minefield without coming into contact with the 'poo mines'. Each time the player comes in contact with the mines or the obstacles, the team loses a point and must restart with the next player. The first team to get all teammates through the maze wins. One or two bonus soap tiles may be placed in the game, which give the team an extra life.
Poo Minefield
Germ Carrom is an adaptation of Carrom, a popular board game in India. There are two versions of this game - the one pictured below shows a town that defecates in the open on the board. The counters are pieces of poo that the player has to shoot into the toilet holes in the four corners of the board.
Kids playing Germ Carrom in Indore
The Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) lab at the Yatra is coordinated by Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC). The lab got a lot of traffic, with women streaming in throughout the first day. They were asked to take a survey on their own menstrual hygiene routine, and how much they are aware of the dangers of unsafe menstrual hygiene. After the survey, they were counselled by Goonj, an NGO that works to ensure that everyone has access to basic clothing. Goonj has pioneered a fantastic initiative called Not Just a Piece of Cloth, where the clothes that they collect are used to make affordable sanitary towels for women in rural areas who do not have access to clean, affordable sanitary napkins. A representative from Goonj talked to the groups of women in the MHM lab about the importance of practicing safe menstrual hygiene at home, even if they did not have access to sanitary towels. Most women in India re-use cloth from their old saris and blouses during their period. They typically re-use the cloth, making themselves vulnerable to a host of infectious diseases because they don't wash the cloth properly before re-using it. Sometimes, they are embarrassed to wash the cloth in the light of day for fear that men will see, so they wash them at night often in very poor lighting. This inevitably means that they don't end up washing the cloth properly. We also learned that many women use sand, ash and hay to line or pad the cloth, similar to the layering mechanism in a regular sanitary napkin. This also exposes them to a host of health problems, and most of them listened intently to the advice from Goonj on how to avoid such things. It was surprising (and heartening) to see that many of the women were comfortable enough discussing something as personal as menstrual hygiene with a man!
Menstrual Hygiene Management lab
Goonj has done some fantastic work in an area of development that most people are not even aware of. Some of the stories about the atrocities that women in India have suffered purely due to poor menstrual hygiene were simply beyond our comprehension. We are so sheltered as women who live in big cities; we are privileged, really. We take Whisper or Stayfree for granted because we've always used pads and they're readily available and affordable for us. The monthly pain and discomfort that we all experience often blinds us from how much tougher it is for other women, who cannot even afford clean pads. In the face of this, it was rewarding to witness the MHM lab at work at the Yatra in Indore, if only for a few hours.
All in all, the Nirmal Bharat Yatra is a great first step in the right direction. There is an urgent need to kick start a conversation about sanitation and hygiene in this country. Whether or not it really affects change remains to be seen, but it is nevertheless a commendable and mammoth effort to start off with. As Jairam Ramesh rightly pointed out, we cannot hope to call ourselves a developed country if we do not become a clean, hygienic and sanitary country to live in. Sanitation and hygiene is also the kind of issue that needs strong political backing, and in this case it has been blessed with the vociferous support of the Union Minister. It has also gained huge traction with Bollywood actress Vidya Balan being signed by the Ministry of Rural Development as the Sanitation Ambassador, and cricket stars like Suresh Raina and Yousef Pathan lending their names to the cause. Vidya Balan has done a few TV commercials on sanitation already, some of which have already started airing.

In fact, it is just the BELL character in the ASCII table:
So, here is a way to play a system sound in DOS:
Code: Select all
where the character after "ECHO " is this BELL character. It looks like a big dot (in EditPlus editor).
Do you know another way to play a sound in DOS?
Any comment, improvement will be appreciate.
"System sound" means sound played by motherboard's speaker, so you can hear it without external speakers or sound card.

How to Talk to Your Boss When You Know She Doesn't Like You
Whether due to personality conflicts or personal differences, people sometimes clash with each other. But when that person is your boss, your working life can become an emotional roller-coaster. In a column for the JobDig website, professional certified personal and career coach Julie Cohen, says your relationship with your immediate supervisor is one of the most important factors in your job satisfaction. You can't force your boss to like you, but by talking to her and opening up the lines of communication, you might be able to resolve your differences.
Don't Shoot From the Hip
You might have the impression that your boss doesn't like you based on her own personal communication style. Perhaps she seems difficult because she speaks in short, terse sentences or doesn't take the time to get to know you on a personal level. Or maybe she's confronted you about your job performance and has said things like, "I need to see significant improvement," rather than offering constructive criticism or positive feedback. Even though this behavior might make you think your boss doesn't like you, you may have drawn an incorrect conclusion, says human resources expert Melanie Chisnall in an article for her company's website, Steer Career Success. Ask trusted coworkers for their opinions -- perhaps your boss acts that way towards everyone. Before talking to your boss, discuss the situation with colleagues to see if you might be misinterpreting her signals.
List Your Concerns
Make a list of your concerns such as criticisms your boss has made about you or incorrect assumptions you feel he has made. If you want to speak to your boss and improve your relationship, it helps to have specific examples of the way he treated you. It's possible that your boss isn't aware of the way he comes across. If he genuinely doesn't like you, you can at least make him aware of the effect his behavior has on your job performance when you sit down to discuss your concerns. If you feel it's appropriate, schedule a meeting with your boss to talk about your concerns and ask for what you need.
Avoid Beating Around the Bush
You might feel nervous when talking to your boss when you know she doesn't like you, but the best way to handle such situations is to be direct and professional. Don't beat around the bush. Use "I" statements, advises corporate consultant Jean Kelley in an article for the American Management Association. Say something like, "When you said such-and-such, I felt upset and interpreted it as an attack on my performance. Did you mean it this way?" Just keep in mind that your boss is not your therapist, so don't focus solely on emotions or feelings to get your points across. Instead, discuss the ways your boss's behavior and attitude toward you has affected your job performance to keep the conversation on professional and work related terms.
Earn Your Boss's Respect
It's not always the case, but your boss may have good reasons for her behavior. Maybe you've acted unprofessionally or arrived late a few times too many. Taking a proactive position and talking to your boss about the ways you intend to improve your performance empowers you and helps you earn your boss's respect. Don't wait for her to point out your shortcomings. Instead, say, "I know that I've come in late several times over the past month, but I want you to know that I intend to arrive on time from now on." Demonstrate a positive attitude and show your boss that you are a team player, career advisor Cara Barone says in an article for the "Chicago Tribune." In the end, your boss doesn't need to like you on a personal level. But if she has the impression that you are a dedicated and motivated employee, she may change her behavior towards you.

By the time it is diagnosed, it will have spread to other organs making it very deadly. However there are several methods of treatment that have been developed for Peritoneal Mesothelioma Treatment which helps to make the patients comfortable and also lengthen their lives.
The first commonly used method for Peritoneal Mesothelioma cancer treatment is through surgery. This involves removal cancer tumors and the surrounding infected tissues. This will help to eradicate the cancer, suppress its growth or just relieve the symptoms. Surgery is always done with combination of other treatment methods e.g. radiation and chemotherapy. It is however important to note that surgery comes with other related risks like death, infection to other organs among others. The success of surgery depends on several factors among them age of the patient, level of spread of the cancer among other factors.
Chemotherapy is another treatment option for periodontal mesothelioma. It involves use of different chemotherapy drugs which are administered either as pills or injections. Chemotherapy helps to stop the growth and spread of tumors and also to relieve cancer symptoms. Chemotherapy has several side effects for example nausea, vomiting, loss of weight and loss of hair. However these side effects clear very fast after finishing the medication.
Another method used to treat peritoneal mesothelioma is radiation. A beam of high energy for example X-ray is directed to the infected cells. The radiation kills cancerous cell or helps to suppress their growth and also reducing the symptoms of the cancer. Several factors are considered before choosing radiation as the treatment option for example organs close to the tumor may dictate whether to use radiation or not. Radiation is rarely used alone but rather it's used in combination with other treatment options e.g. chemotherapy and surgery. Radiation may cause the patient to feel nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue.
Another treatment option for peritoneal mesothelioma is paracentesis. This procedure is carried out to aid in reliving cancer symptoms and not for treatment or cure purposes. Thin needles are inserted into the tumors and they are used to suck cancer fluids. This helps to reduce pain for several days before other treatment methods can be carried out.
There is also another common option in modern times called immunotherapy treatment. This procedure is commonly used together with chemotherapy. It involves introducing new agents into the blood stream that helps to boost the immune system making it able to fight the growth and spread of cancer cancerous tumors. It has fewer side effects and therefore it's more desirable than the older option for example radiation that might hurt other organs.

The Coast All-Air control system is extremely accurate and provides a simplified, dependable and trouble-free way to guide. The system is proportional (rate of correction is in proportion to web error) and the response to error is virtually instantaneous, providing a smooth and quick response. Since the All-Air systems run entirely on low-pressure plant air, Coast web guides are intrinsically explosion-proof and ideal for applications in sensitive environments (see diagram below).
Plant air is connected to the friction-free All-Air Servo Controller through a two-stage cartridge/coalescing air filter and precision low-pressure regulator/gauge. A small portion of the air is reduced in pressure before going to both sides of the air-flow sensor. A constant stream of air continually bleeds from the sensor's opposing nozzle and signal orifices keeping them free of dust and other foreign matter.
As web misalignment (error) occurs, the edge of the web moves in or out of the sensor. This causes the slightly higher nozzle air pressure to increase or decrease the backpressure in the signal air coming from the All-Air Servo Controller.
The change in pressure creates an imbalance between the opposing forces of the air diaphragm and the bias spring in the All-Air Servo Controller causing the shuttle to move.
Movement of the shuttle directs the somewhat higher pressure actuation air to the proper end of the air cylinder. This causes the cylinder's piston rod to move the guide the precise amount required to realign the web at the air-flow sensor.
With the web edge back in its proper position at the air-flow sensor, the guiding system is again balanced, completing the control loop. Sensing and correction continue to take place as web misalignment (error) occurs.
The proportional Servo Controller converts the low pressure signal from the Air-Flow Sensor into a higher actuator pressure.
Plant air is filtered and regulated down to a nominal operating pressure as it enters the Servo Controller. A small amount of the incoming air is routed to the nozzle side of the Sensor, and a smaller amount goes to the signal side (to monitor the web). See air-flow diagram.
As the web wanders away from the Sensor, the slightly higher nozzle air creates back pressure in the signal side of the system, allowing the diaphragm to overcome the opposing force of the bias spring. The increase in pressure pushes the shuttle toward the bias knob, sending the proper amount of air to the blank end (back) of the actuator. When the web partially or entirely blocks the sensor, the reduced pressure allows the bias spring force to overcome the weakened diaphragm and push the shuttle in the opposite direction, sending the proper amount of air to the rod end (front) of the actuator.
The resulting proportional pressure signals the actuator to automatically reposition the web until its position in the sensor brings the shuttle back to neutral. No action is required by the operator.
The Air Cylinder provides the force for moving the guiding assembly to align the web. Cylinder diameters range from three to eight inches depending on the application. A three, four, or five-inch diameter cylinder is typically used for intermediate guiding, and when additional thrust is required for shifting an unwind or rewind stand, a six or eight-inch diameter cylinder can be used. The length of the cylinder's stroke is determined by the maximum linear correction the guide must make.
In effect, the Sensor, Servo Controller and Air Cylinder—along with a moving web of material—combine to form a closed-loop proportional control system. The Servo Controller converts and amplifies the signal from the sensor to a higher air pressure and sends the desired correction to the Air Cylinder. The cylinder then strokes to reposition the guiding assembly and accurately aligns the moving web.

|The increasing need to protect the environment has stimulated the development of chemical gas sensors for monitoring air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. Future improvements in the response of these sensors depends on developing a better understanding of the principles governing their operation and the influence of the microstructure and morphology of the semiconducting metal oxide layer on adsorption of gas molecules. Doping this layer with a noble metal such as platinum or palladium combined with the application of thin film technology allows a significant improvement in the performance of these devices due to the catalytic effect of the metal on reactions between the oxide and adsorbed gas molecules. Microelectronic fabrication techniques combined with thin film synthesis methods are used to develop integrated CMOS compatible microsensor arrays. Field testing of air quality monitoring systems based on these metal oxide sensors has been carried out to compare their performance with conventional analytical instruments. Further improvements in sensitivity will be possible due to the development of novel oxide architectures such as nanowires and nanobelts, which provide a much larger surface area in contact with the gas molecules, and the integration of these structures in miniaturised integrated devices. Solid state sensor systems, integrated with advanced signal processing and data transmission via the telecommunications infrastructure, will allow the implementation of sensor networks to provide real time information on air pollution with high spatial resolution.

Kylie Jenner kicked off her BFF Jordyn Woods' 21st birthday celebrations on Thursday night — and the weekend is already one to remember.
Just over a month after Jenner turned 21, Woods celebrated her special day with the Kylie Cosmetics founder on Thursday night, when the pair had an innocent run-in with the law.
For the night out, Woods wore a metallic, red spaghetti-strap mini dress with heels while Jenner wore a strapless mini brown dress, also with heels.
The birthday girl documented the evening on her Instagram Story, including her "party of three" dinner with Jenner and a male friend, which was followed by a "Happy Birthday" serenade to Woods as some folks at the establishment (including Jenner!) held large, printed cut-outs of her face.
Following the celebration, the duo traded the club for singing in the backseat of a car. "When you ditch the club to sing love songs with your wifey," Woods captioned footage of herself and Jenner.

Method for performing a multiple page get operation in a text processing system
An improved method in an interactive text processing system for creating/revising documents by adding a multi-page insert of text data at a specified location in the document comprising displaying the document, signalling to the system the location within the document into which the text data is to be copied, specifying to the system the identification and location within the document into which the text data is to be copied, specifying to the system the identification and location of the insert text data, scanning the insert text data for INCLUDE instructions, resolving the INCLUDE instructions prior to adding the text data into the document, and copying the specified text data into the document at the signalled location. In a specific embodiment, text data up to ten pages can be copied and up to five levels of nested INCLUDE instructions can be resolved.
Latest IBM Patents:
1. Background of the Invention
This invention relates to a text processing system and more particularly to an improved method for copying text data from another document into a document being revised.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A typical interactive text processing system currently operational in many office environments comprises a keyboard, a display, a printer, a diskette storage device and a microprocessor which has been programmed to cause interaction of the various system components to perform numerous text processing functions. One of the main functions of a text processing system is to create a document on the output printer which may, for example, be a single one-page letter or a multi-page manuscript. The interactive nature of these systems initially involves a query-response type mode of operation where the system displays the questions or available options to the operator and, perhaps, a number of responses. The operator then indicates the response by pressing a defined character key or by keying in the requested data. By such a procedure, the various parameters of a document format may be defined to the system. The system is then placed in the text entry mode so that actual text is keyed in by the operator and displayed on the screen in a format generally resembling that which will appear in the printed document.
In many applications, after all the text has been entered, the operator requests a printed document from the system. The system then enters the printing mode and prints the document, employing the stored format parameters and the text. The document, as stored in memory, comprises a series of data and control characters and is generally stored on the diskette. The name of the document and the diskette number is also added to the index of documents kept by the system. This permits the document record to be subsequently retrieved.
After the printed document has been edited by the author, the operator recalls the document from diskette storage into main memory and causes it to be displayed by the system, which is placed in an update mode. The operator may then revise the document using any of the commands provided by the system to facilitate revision operations. For example, one command useful in such operations is the GET command which enables copying a page of text from one part of a document to another part of the same document or a different document. It is also known in prior art text processing systems to specify, by means of an INCLUDE command, text data to be added to a document at a specified location.
There has developed in the text processing market a requirement for systems providing enhanced operator productivity without requiring programming skills on the part of the text processing system operator.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved GET command capable of fetching multiple pages of text data to a designated insertion point in a document.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved GET command capable of resolving multiple levels of INCLUDE commands within the pages of data to be inserted into a document.
These and other objects and advantages are achieved with the present method. Briefly, there is provided a text processing system wherein one or more pages of text data are copied into a document by displaying the document to the operator, signalling to the system the location within the document into which the text data is to be copied, specifying to the system the identification and location of the text data, scanning the text data for data control instructions specifying added text to be included within the specified text data, adding the specified added next to the text data prior to copying the text data into the document and copying the specified text data into the document at the signalled location to provide a revised document.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the system embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the processor shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 illustrates the GET Menu as it would appear on the display device of FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention.DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now to FIG. 1, a portion of the text processing system is shown, including a processor 10 to which is connected a bus 12 leading from a keyboard 14. Character data generated by manual actuation of keyboard 14 applies character-related signals to processor 10 which provides on an output memory bus 16 a data stream in which the characters selected by actuation of keyboard 14 appear suitably encoded.
Keyboard 14 is of the conventional design and arrangement which is commonly used in a Text Processing System such as the IBM Displaywriter System, for example, so a detailed illustration of keyboard 14 is not essential for a proper understanding of the invention. Keyboard 14 comprises a normal set of graphic symbol keys such as letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special character keys, plus text format or control keys like carriage return, indent, etc. In addition, the keyboard 14 includes a second set of control keys for issuing special control commands to the system. The seond set of control keys include cursor movement keys, keys for setting the keyboard 14 into a number of different modes, etc.
Memory bus 16 extends to a memory unit 20, to a display unit 22, to a diskette unit 24 and to a printer 25.
Memory unit 20 includes a text storage buffer 26 which serves to store the coded data stream comprising the text input initially entered through the keyboard 14. Included in the text storage buffer 26 is a storage section for the identity of the active document format which contains the active document keyboard character set namely, in portion 28. Record buffer 27 provides for additional text storage, and record buffer 27 is coupled to the text storage buffer 26 by channel 35. GET control block 33 controls access to text data to record buffer 27 by means of channel 37.
A text storage buffer control block 30 is linked to text storage buffer 26 and includes a cursor control section 32. The text storage buffer 26 is linked to the data on the diskette unit 24 by a storage access control block (SACB) of conventional design (such as that within the above-mentioned Text Processing System) which is included within storage buffer control block 30.
A text storage buffer manager 34 is linked by channel 36 to the control block 30, by channel 38 to the text storage buffer 26 and by channels 40 and 42 to a keystroke service routine section 44.
A keystroke control routine block 46 is provided to select the appropriate routine for the entered keystroke and this keystroke control routine block 46 is connected to keystroke service routine section 44 by channel 47. The control block 30 is connected to keystroke service routines section 44 by channel 48. Buffer 26 is coupled by channel 50 to a display access method block 52 which is coupled by way of channel 54 to a display refresh buffer 56. A display control block 58 is coupled by channel 60 to the display access method block 52. GET control block 33 functions to fetch data which is stored in record buffer 27.
A channel 62 is connected from the active document format storage portion 28 of text storage buffer 26 to the keystroke service routine section 44. Further, an input keyboard character set (KB/CS) block 64 stores the identity of any desired input keyboard character set of keyboard 14 and is connected by way of channel 66 to the keystroke service routine section 44.
The display access method block 52 has corresponding access method blocks of conventional design, such as that included within the above-mentioned Text Processing System, for the diskette unit 24 and the printer 25. Each of the blocks serves as an interface to the corresponding unit.
The display refresh buffer 56 contains the actual text which is shown on display unit 22 while the buffer 26 contains all of the display text plus control data.
Menu manager 29 selects the appropriate menu to be displayed on display unit 22 and stores the menu image in menu buffer 31. At the appropriate time, the menu image is transferred by channel 50 to the display access method block 52 for routing to the display refresh buffer 56.
In operation of the system of FIG. 1, the encoded data stream on memory bus 16 is stored in the text storage buffer 26. In the process of correction and editing the contents of the text storage buffer 26, selected portions or lines of a page are presented on display unit 22. Stored in active document format section 28 is the code designating the keyboard character set that was employed in the production of the coded data stream appearing on memory bus 16 leading from processor 10 and applied from text storage buffer 26 to display unit 22 for edit.
If it is necessary, for example, to insert a graphic item into the text displayed on display unit 22, then a cursor (not shown), conventionally available on the display unit of the above-mentioned Text Processing System, is placed below the character on display unit 22 at the location immediately preceding which an insert is to be made. The input keyboard character set identification of which the graphic item to be inserted forms a part, is applied by way of channel 66 to the keystroke service routines 44.
Referring to FIG. 2, the processor 10 is further detailed to show typical logic hardware elements as found in such processors. The processor 10 may be a commercially available unit, such as from Intel Corporation and identified by the number 8086, or any of the recognized functionally equivalent, currently available microprocessors. Typically, the processor 10 includes a control logic unit 70 which responds to interrupts on a device bus 71 from the keyboard 14. The control logic unit 70 is also connected to a data and address bus 82 interconnected to various other logic units of the processor 10.
In response to a fetch instruction from the random access memory 20, the control logic unit 70 generates control signals to other logic elements of the processor 10. These control signals are interconnected to the various elements by means of a control line 72 which is illustrated directly connected to an arithmetic logic unit 73 and identified as a "control" line 72 to other elements of the processor 10. Sequence operation of control logic unit 70 with other logic elements of the processor 10 is achieved by means of clock pulses input to the processor 10 from an external clock source 75 on a clock line 74. Line 74 is also shown interconnected to other logic elements of the processor 10 detailed in FIG. 2.
Data and instructions to be processed in the processor 10 are input through a bus control logic unit 76. Data to be processed may also come from program input/output control logic unit 77. The bus control logic unit 76 connects storage elements of the random access memory 20 and receives instructions for processing data received from the input/output control logic unit 77 or received from the random access memory 20. Thus, the input/output control logic unit 77 receives data from the keyboard 14 or the random access memory 20 while the bus control logic unit 76 receives instructions and/or data from the same memory 20. Note the different storage sections of the random access memory 20 identifiable for instruction storage and data storage.
Device control information from the processor 10 is output through program input/output logic control unit 77 over a data bus 80. Input data on the data bus 80 from the keyboard 14 is processed internally through the processor 10 by instructions on the bus 82 to temporary scratch registers 83. The arithmetic logic unit 73, in response to a control signal on line 72, and, in accordance with instructions received on an input/output data bus 80, performs computations and the results can be stored in the temporary scratch registers 83. Various other transfers of data between the arithmetic logic unit 73 and other logic elements of the processor 10 are, of course, possible. Such additional transfers may be to a status register 85, data pointer register 86 or a stack pointer register 87. A program counter 88 is also connected through the data stream bus 82 to various other logic elements in the processor 10.
A particular operating sequence for the processor 10 is determined by instructions and data on the memory bus 16 and input data on the bi-directional bus 80. As an example, in response to received instructions, the processor 10 transfers data stored in the scratch registers 83 to one of the registers 85, 86 or 87. Such operations of processors as detailed in FIG. 2 are considered to be well known and understood by one of ordinary skill in the data processing field. A detailed description of each operation of the processor 10 in FIG. 2 is not deemed necessary for a full understanding of the present invention as claimed.
Prior to discussing the flow of the GET control routine and its combination with the text processing system of FIG. 1, an overview of the control system is in order. The specific problem addresses is how to provide an operator interface on a display unit 22 that permits fetching a multiple page insert of text data which may have include instructions in the inserted text data in a manner that promotes ease of learning by operators with no programming skills, ease of use and compatability with existing text processing equipment.
Either during creation or revison of a document, the operator may wish to add a multiple page insert of text data at a particular location in the document. The multiple page GET operation provides this capability since the GET function is designed to copy a designated document into a specified place in a document being created. The INCLUDE command specifies a particular entry of text data to be added to the document at the specified location. In a system which has an INCLUDE command, all Includes must be resolved in the inserted text data prior to the time the text data is inserted into the document being created or revised. To solve this problem in a multiple page GET operation, the ability to resolve multiple level INCLUDES is required.
Preparatory to executing a multiple page GET operation, there are two documents which must be input by the operator to the system. These documents are created in Create/Revise mode and include the original document, at least to the point at which the insert is to be made, and the insert document which contains the multiple pages to be inserted.
Once the original and the insert documents have been created, the operator displays the original document on display unit 22, positions the cursor to the desired point of insertion and presses the GET key (conventionally placed such as the placement in the above-mentioned Text Processing System, for example) which is one of the control keys on keyboard 14. In response to this action, menu manager 29 outputs through menu buffer 31 to display unit 22, the GET Menu, an illustration of which is shown in FIG. 3. This menu instructs the operator to make selections concerning the name, location and page numbers of the specified text data to be inserted at the desired point in the document, and a further selection whether or not included text is to be inserted into the specified text data prior to its insertion at the desired point in the document.
The prompt line of the display instructs the operator to type the ID letter to choose an ITEM. The operator makes this selection by typing the appropriate letter in place of the underlined small square at the end of the prompt line of the display and pressing the ENTER key (conventionally placed such as the placement in the above-mentioned Text Processing System, for example) on keyboard 14. The underline represents the position of the cursor and the small square represents the location at which the first keyed character is displayed. For example, to specify the Document Name for the insert document, the operator types an "a", followed by the document name, in the designated position and presses the ENTER key. This selection is followed by operator input to designate the name of the diskette unit 24 on which the insert document is stored, the page number(s) of the document to be copied and an option whether or not to Insert Included Text, i.e., that text specified by INCLUDE commands. Once the last of these selections is made, the operator presses ENTER, at which time the system starts execution of the multiple page GET.
The original document up to the designated insertion point is placed in the Text Storage Buffer 26 and the first page of the insert document is fetched, under control of GET control block 33, into Record Buffer 27. The pagination routine is then invoked to scan the page in Record Buffer 27 for data control instructions. As data control instructions are encountered, the instructions are resolved prior to proceeding through the page of the insert document. To resolve an INCLUDE instruction, the data specified to the INCLUDE is fetched and scanned as it is added into the page of the insert document stored in Record Buffer 27. It is possible that this text data will contain control codes including an additiional INCLUDE. Each nested level of INCLUDE up to five is accommodated by resolving the INCLUDE prior to the time the data is added to the page of the insert document stored in Record Buffer 27. As pages of the insert document are scanned, they are added to the original document in Text Storage Buffer 26 until a full page is stored as determined by the pagination routine. At a Page End, the TSB manager 34 stores the completed page on the designated diskette unit 24. In addition, if printing is designated by the operator, the page is also sent to the printer 25. The multiple page GET continues in this manner until all of the pages in the insert document along with any inserted text data have been added to the original document at the designated insert point.
In a specific embodiment, an entire document can be copied by the use of an INCLUDE instruction by not specifying the page number(s) since a default value is used to include all pages in this case. When page numbers are specified by the operator, in this embodiment a total of ten pages can be specified by the operator for each multiple page GET instruction.

New research on the pay practices of privately held companies conducted by WorldatWork and Vivient Consulting shows that a majority of these organizations now offer long term incentives. The survey, previously conducted in 2007, reflects the practices of 232 private U.S. companies with revenues ranging from $100 million to more than $5 billion.
Study findings show that long term incentive prevalence at private companies - despite the challenges these organizations face in terms of valuation, liquidity and ownership considerations - has increased from 35% in 2007 to 61% in 2011.
The types of long term incentive plans most widely used among participating companies include:
- Performance awards or long term cash plans - 52%
- Phantom stock and stock appreciation rights (SARs) - 33%
- Stock options - 26%
- Restricted stock - 19%
The study also notes that the use of short term incentive plans among private companies has increased since 2007, from 79% to 95%.
