This application is the US national phase of international application PCT/GB2003/003081 filed 15 Jul. 2003 which designated the U.S. and claims priority from GB 0217538.8, filed 30 Jul. 2002, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to optical fibres and particularly though not exclusively to fibre-optic apparatus for detecting electromagnetic radiation.
Arrays of fibre optic cables are often used in electromagnetic radiation detectors. Each fibre has one exposed end so that electromagnetic radiation travelling from the direction in which the exposed fibre end is pointing passes into the fibre and then travels along its length. At the other end of the fibre is a sensor which may detect, for example, the wavelength or intensity of particular bandwidths of electromagnetic radiation, depending upon the desired application, e.g. infra-red detectors, visible detectors etc. Such detectors are directional in that each fibre is only able to detect radiation approaching from the general direction in which the fibre is pointing.
Therefore it is desirable and usual to have numerous fibres arranged in an array, so that a greater number of directions may be covered by a detector.
Conventional optical fibres comprise a central fibre core surrounded by cladding. Conventional fibre optic arrays comprise a number of clad fibres. The fibres are arranged in a matrix form to create the array, with each fibre being placed as physically close as possible to neighbouring fibres. This permits the amount of �dead space�, which is the space on the array where radiation cannot be guided into a fibre, to be minimised.
A disadvantage of the known fibre optic arrays is that, due to the cladding, the fibre cores are spaced relatively far apart. Therefore a significant proportion of the array is �dead space�.
This is a particular problem where relatively weak electromagnetic radiation needs to be detected. For example, a missile may carry a small lightweight and therefore relatively weak laser on board for illuminating targets. The missile may also carry an electromagnetic radiation detector comprising arrays for receiving the electro-magnetic radiation reflected from the target. Because the laser used to illuminate the target is relatively weak, the reflected signals will be very weak, and therefore it is desirable that as much returned radiation as possible is captured by the fibres of the array.
According to the present invention there is provided an optical fibre core having a reflective coating along a first part of its length such that electromagnetic radiation may travel along the first part of the optical fibre by means of reflection, and further having a cladding along a second part of its length, the cladding having a refractive index suitable for permitting the electromagnetic radiation to travel along the second part of the optical fibre.
The reflective coating is preferably a metallic coating. Alternatively a reflective polymer material or a semiconductor material may be used instead. As the reflective coating only needs to be a very thin layer of approximately 100 nm, the coated fibres are significantly thinner than the conventional optical fibres previously described. Therefore, the coated fibres can be packed more densely than the conventional optical fibres, thus significantly reducing the �dead space� on the optical fibre array.
In some circumstances during manufacture, eg during drawing of fibres, a thin layer of cladding may remain on the fibre core. In such circumstances it may be necessary to provide a reflective coating on the outer surface of the cladding to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation may still travel along the first part of the optical fibre by means of reflection.
Preferably at least part of the outside surface of the cladding is coated in a reflective coating. The reflective coating is advantageously present in the region close to said first part of the fibre. This helps to prevent losses of electromagnetic radiation in the region where the first, coated part of the fibre and the second, clad part of the fibre meet.
The cladding may be tapered along part of its length, the thin part of the taper being adjacent the first, coated part of the fibre.
Advantageously, the tapered portion of the cladding has a reflective coating on the outside surface of the cladding. The reflective coating may be thickest at the thin part of the taper.
The first part of the optical fibre may have a core of a different cross-section to the second part of the optical fibre. The core advantageously tapers to a larger cross-section in the second part of the optical fibre. The first part of the optical fibre may additionally or alternatively have a core of different cross-sectional shape to the second part of the optical fibre. The first part of the optical fibre may additionally or alternatively have a core of a different material to the second part of the optical fibre.
According to the present invention in another aspect thereof, there is provided a fibre optic coupling arrangement for coupling a light pipe to a clad optical fibre, the coupling arrangement comprising a light pipe comprising an optical fibre core having a reflective coating and a clad optical fibre comprising an optical fibre core with cladding surrounding the core, the optical fibre core of the light pipe being optically joined to the optical fibre core of the clad optical fibre such that electromagnetic radiation is able to travel from the light pipe to the clad optical fibre, wherein tapered cladding is provided in the region where the light pipe is optically joined to the clad optical fibre.
The length and shape of the taper may be designed to encourage the electromagnetic radiation to propagate in a desired mode.
Advantageously, the tapered cladding is at least partially coated with a reflective coating. It is particularly advantageous to coat the thinnest region of the tapered cladding with the reflective coating to prevent loss of radiation.
According to the present invention in another aspect thereof, there is provided an array of optical fibres, each optical fibre comprising an optical fibre core having a reflective coating along a first part of its length such that electromagnetic radiation may travel along the first part of the optical fibre by means of reflection, and further having a cladding along a second part of its length, the cladding having a refractive index suitable for permitting the electromagnetic radiation to travel along the second part of the optical fibre.
The clad part of each of the optical fibres may terminate, for example, in an electromagnetic radiation detection device.
The present invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the following drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a front view of the end of a conventional clad optical fibre.
FIG. 2 shows a front view of a conventional optical fibre array.
FIG. 3 shows a front view of an optical fibre array in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of part of an optical fibre of the array of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre in accordance with the present invention in a first embodiment thereof.
FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre of a second embodiment.
FIG. 7 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre of a third embodiment.
FIG. 8 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre of a fourth embodiment.
FIG. 9 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre of a fifth embodiment.
FIG. 10 shows a longitudinal cross-sectional view of an optical fibre of a sixth embodiment.
FIG. 1 shows an optical fibre arrangement 1 comprising an optical fibre core 3 which is clad in a cladding material 5. The cladding material 5 has an appropriate refractive index so that radiation incident on the exposed end of fibre core 3 travels along fibre 1 by means of one or more guided modes. Some radiation incident on the cladding 7 adjacent to the fibre core 3 may be coupled into a guided mode. Radiation falling on the outer part of the cladding 9 will not become a guided mode, and will not propagate along the fibre 1.
FIG. 2 shows a fibre optic array 11 comprising several optical fibres 1 as described with reference to FIG. 1. The optical fibres 1 are packed together as tightly as possible. Any electromagnetic radiation falling on the array has to fall either on the end of the fibre core 3 or the inner part of the cladding 7 to be able to travel along the fibre 1 and therefore be detected. It can be seen that there is a large area of the array which cannot be used for detecting radiation, namely the area 13 between optical fibres 1, and the area of the outer part of the cladding 9 of the optical fibres 1. The �dead-space� (non-detecting) areas are 9 and 13.
FIG. 3 shows an optical fibre array 15, which comprises several optical fibres 17. Each optical fibre 17 has a reflective coating 19 around the fibre core 21. The reflective coating 19 is very much thinner than the cladding, (typically 2�3 orders of magnitude) and allows electromagnetic radiation to travel along the fibre core 21 by reflection off the reflective coating.
As the reflective coating is significantly thinner than the cladding, a greater number of optical fibres 17 can be put in an area of the same size relative to the optical fibres 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2.
This means that the ratio of non-detecting areas 19 (reflective coating) and 23 (area between the optical fibres 17) to detecting areas 21 is much lower than for the conventional array 11. As more of the radiation falling upon the array is received by the optical fibres 17 than for the conventional array 11, more radiation reaches the sensor part of the detector. Therefore for weak sources of radiation, there is more chance of detection.
FIG. 4 shows the optical fibre 17. The path 25 of radiation travelling from the exposed end of the fibre 21 towards the sensor part of the detector (not shown) is shown. The radiation is reflected by the reflective coating 19.
FIG. 5 shows an optical fibre 27 comprising a fibre core 29 having an exposed end 31. The part of the fibre core 29 adjacent the exposed end 31 is coated in a reflective material 33. The rest of the fibre core 29 is clad in a cladding material 35, which has an appropriate refractive index. This design of optical fibre allows the exposed ends 31 of a plurality of optical fibres 27 to be packed tightly together into an array such as that described with reference to FIG. 3 whilst allowing the rest of the optical fibre to be a conventional fibre waveguide. This is advantageous as such waveguides are readily available, and relatively inexpensive, compared with rare metal light pipes.
FIG. 6 shows an optical fibre 37 comprising a fibre core 39 having an exposed end 41. The part of the fibre core 39 adjacent the exposed end 41 is coated in the reflective material 33. The rest of the fibre core 39 is clad in the cladding material 35. The cladding material 35 is tapered adjacent to the reflectively-coated part of the optical fibre, and the tapered outside surface 47 of the cladding 35 is coated in a reflective material 49 which may be the same as reflective material 33. The reflective coating 49 prevents radiation being lost through the relatively thin cladding at the taper 47. Any radiation which reaches the outside surface 47 of the cladding is reflected back into the cladding 35. The reflective coating 49 may be of constant thickness along the length of the taper 47, or may instead decrease in thickness as the thickness of cladding 35 increases along the taper 47, as shown in FIG. 6. The taper 47 encourages radiation to propagate in desired modes. In this example, the fibre core 39 is shown increasing in cross-section in the region of the taper 47, however, the fibre core 39 may retain the same cross-section throughout the tapered region if desired.
FIG. 7 shows an optical fibre 51 comprising a fibre core 53 having an exposed end 55. The part of the fibre core 53 adjacent the exposed end 55 is coated in the reflective material 33. The rest of the fibre 53 is clad in the cladding material 35. The cladding material this time is not tapered adjacent the reflectively-coated part of the optical fibre, however the end face of the cladding 57 is coated in a reflective material 59 which may be the same as reflective material 33.
FIG. 8 shows an optical fibre 65 comprising a fibre core 63 having an exposed end 61. The fibre is clad along its length, the cladding 35 being significantly thinner near the exposed end 61 of the optical fibre 65, and being tapered 69. A coating of reflective material 67 is applied to the outer surface of exposed end of the fibre 61 and the taper 69). This allows radiation to propagate along the fibre in the region of the exposed fibre end 61 by means of reflection provided that the cladding is sufficiently thin.
FIG. 9 shows an optical fibre 73 comprising a fibre core 75, 77 having an exposed end 71. The part of the fibre core 75 adjacent the exposed end 71 is coated in the reflective material 79. The rest of the fibre core 77 is clad in the cladding material 35. The cladding material 35 is tapered adjacent to the reflectively-coated part of the optical fibre, and the tapered outside surface 81 of the cladding 35 is coated in the reflective material 79. The reflective coating 79 prevents radiation being lost through the relatively thin cladding at the taper 81. Any radiation which reaches the tapered outside surface 81 of the cladding 35 is reflected back into the cladding 35. The reflective coating 79 may be of constant thickness along the length of the taper 81, as shown in FIG. 9, or may instead decrease in thickness as the thickness of cladding 35 increases along the taper 81 (as shown in FIG. 6). The taper 81 encourages radiation to propagate in desired modes. In this example, the fibre core 75, 77 is formed from two different materials, the materials joining in the region of the taper 81, and the fibre core 75, 77 being designed to allow radiation to propagate along its length without significant losses in the region of the taper 81. This allows one material to be used as a lightpipe, and a different material to be used as a fibre core in the clad fibre, where different modes of propagation are required. In this example, the fibre core 75, 77 is shown to retain the same cross-section throughout the region of the taper 81.
FIG. 10 shows an optical fibre 83 having similar characteristics to the optical fibre 73 of FIG. 9, similar features having the same reference numerals as in FIG. 9. However, in this example the fibre core 75, 77 is shown to increase in cross-section in the region of the taper 81. The shape and size of the taper is chosen to encourage propagation of the radiation along the fibre core 77 in the desired modes.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that different embodiments of the present invention are possible, several of which are described herein. The scope of the invention covers the embodiments which utilise the same principles as those described herein.

D.C. Streetcar ridership is decent so far - The Washington Post
D.C. Streetcar ridership is decent so far
DC Streetcar ridership numbers are fairly decent. (Keith Lane for The Washington Post)
May 13, 2016 at 4:59 PM EDT
The D.C. Streetcar is drawing a decent number of riders, so far. Compared to other U.S. light-rail and streetcar systems, it ranks near the middle in terms of riders per mile of track. It’s slightly above average, neither horrible nor spectacular.
According to the District Department of Transportation’s latest streetcar ridership report, the H Street line carried an average of 2,285 passengers each weekday in April. It carries more on Saturdays, but weekday ridership is the standard measuring stick nationwide.
In raw terms, 2,285 riders per day is pretty low. But for a line that only carries passengers for 1.9 miles, it’s actually not bad.
Obviously, the 1.9-mile D.C. Streetcar isn’t going to carry nearly as many passengers as, say, the 90-mile-long Dallas light rail system. And if you rank all U.S. light rail and streetcar systems by total ridership, the District’s 2,285 passengers per day is indeed near the bottom, at 31 out of 37. Dallas is seventh with about 105,000.
But to get a sense of how successful these lines are at attracting riders, we need to compare them on an apples-to-apples basis. To do that, divide the total daily ridership by the number of miles, to get ridership per mile.
And in those terms, D.C. Streetcar’s 1,203 riders per mile is a respectable 18 out of 37. It’s just barely in the upper half nationally. And it doesn’t even go downtown yet.
Dallas is actually lower at 1,164 riders per mile. Other regional light-rail systems that are lower than D.C. Streetcar include Baltimore (691 riders/mile), Norfolk (784), Sacramento (1,056), St. Louis (1,035), Pittsburgh (850) and Cleveland (467).
On the other hand, the District is far below the number one system on the list: Boston’s Green line light rail, which carries a whopping 7,126 riders per mile. Other systems near the top include San Francisco’s Muni Metro (4,370 riders/mile), Minneapolis (3,275), New Jersey’s Hudson-Bergen light rail (2,852) and the Portland streetcar (2,723, which is interestingly higher than Portland’s MAX light rail at 2,048).

Virulence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virulence is the degree of damage caused by a microbe to its host.[1] The pathogenicity of an organism - its ability to cause disease - is determined by its virulence factors.[2] The noun virulence derives from the adjective virulent. Virulent can describe either disease severity or a pathogen's infectivity.[3] The word virulent derives from the Latin word virulentus, meaning "a poisoned wound" or "full of poison."[3][4]
In an ecological context, virulence can be defined as the host's parasite-induced loss of fitness. Virulence can be understood in terms of proximate causes—those specific traits of the pathogen that help make the host ill—and ultimate causes—the evolutionary pressures that lead to virulent traits occurring in a pathogen strain.[5]
The virulence factors of bacteria are typically proteins or other molecules that are synthesized by enzymes. These proteins are coded for by genes in chromosomal DNA, bacteriophage DNA or plasmids. Certain bacteria employ mobile genetic elements and horizontal gene transfer. Therefore, strategies to combat certain bacterial infections by targeting these specific virulence factors and mobile genetic elements have been proposed.[6] Bacteria use quorum sensing to synchronise release of the molecules. These are all proximate causes of morbidity in the host.
Virus virulence factors allow it replicate, modify host defenses, allow it to spread within the host, and are toxic to the host.[7]

Convex hulls between pairs of variables are calculated from sets of the variable-values accumulated historically in stores (7, 9) during successive runs of the process, and hulls (HH; TC, BC) between successive axis-pairs are displayed. New variable-values for process optimization are fixed for the variables taken in turn, each selection being made within displayed ranges (Rn�Rn) derived from the hulls effective between the respective variable and the variables already fixed. A display unit (13) provides on-line parallel-axis display of variable-values from the plant (1), showing alarm carets (DC, UC) where values violate limits (UL, LL) determined by the convex hulls, and allowing variation in the displayed-value for observing the resultant effect in avoiding alarm situation and towards optimization.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to multi-variable processes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention is particularly concerned with methods and systems for displaying variables of multi-variable processes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to one aspect of the present invention a method for displaying variables of a multi-variable process, comprises deriving a multi-dimensional display representation in parallel coordinates of a feasible region of the process-variables, the representation being derived from sets of values for the process-variables accumulated respectively from multiple operations of the process, deriving a further set of values for said variables within said region and displaying them within said representation, and defining within the display representation available ranges for the variables according to the values of other variables within said further set.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The example of method and system to be described is related to the operation of a multi-variable process carried out by a simple, notional processing plant. Details of the plant and its purpose are not of consequence, and indeed the method and system of the invention are related more specifically to operation of the plant as an example of a multi-variable process rather than to the purpose of the process performed, being applicable in the generality to any situation involving a multi-variable process. In the context of description of the present specific example, however, there are fourteen variables involved in plant-operation, and of these, eleven are control variables to the extent that their values determine the outcome of the process. The remaining three variables are quality variables in the sense that their values define, or more especially are defined by, that outcome.

Thank Double2luv
Thank you for the lovely review. It helps to keep us focused on what we are trying to do here and the way we do it. Especially helpful to read it once again again this morning in light of our most recent review.... We look forward to your return and staying longer than one night as well...:)
We stayed two days at the Village Victorian and enjoyed it very much. The inn is very pretty. Our breakfasts were always delicious and the company delightful. Ellen's gift shop was a great place to do shopping for those back home. she even shipped my items for me.

Why thank you, Mollie... how sweet. You were great guests! :)
I've just spent another visit to Morrisville staying at the Village Victorian B & B (my 4th visit). As in the past the hosts, Ellen & Phillip were most gracious going out of their way to make me AND my grandchildren comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit daily, waffles, pancakes, french toast and other delicacies and plenty of Vermont maple syrup and maple cream (expect to gain a few pounds). The accomodations are extremely comfortable. The house is a lovely Victorian with wonderful porches overlooking beautiful gardens. Perfect for relaxing. Also boasts of a delightful gift shop. Morrisville is a pleasant small town with adequate restaurants, a terrific museum and close enough to enjoy all that Stow has to offer. I will be returning in the Spring.

Outstanding place, outstanding hosts
My wife and I stayed at this B&B for 9 days earlier this month and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was the second time we've stayed there, having been there two years earlier as well. The house is a beautiful victorian (hence the name), well maintained, homey, and comfortable. The hosts, Ellen and Phil, are simply marvelous people, and I found myself hoping we could be their friends if ever we move to the area. The breakfasts are freshly made each morning and delicious (prepare to gain a few pounds if you stay more than a day!). And the location, near Stowe and within driving distance of Burlington, is great for accessing a variety of things to do and good restaurants in which to eat. You want to try it!
Ask Gary M about Village Victorian Bed & Breakfast
So move on up to the area, Gary! You guys are kind of easy to be friends with... :) What a great review... thank you so much.

If you don't like beautifully renovated Victorians, large and quiet and rooms, spacious porches amidst lush, flowering gardens, chilled champagne and flowers awaiting your arrival, lots of hot coffee, Vermont bacon, waffles and fresh fruit with yogurt for breakfast, two gracious hosts, beautiful scenery and tons of area outdoor activities -- then don't stay at the Village Victorian. But my wife and I happen to enjoy these things and we had a wonderful visit. Thanks, Ellen and Phil!

and we thank you for coming.... and for saying all those wonderful things about us... maybe we should do this again some time....:)
So glad I found this place! Stayed here for 3 nights prior to a retreat at Dreaming Mountain, and it was as comfortable as staying at your best friend's house. Philip and Ellen really embody the spirit of hospitality. Breakfast was excellent, featuring local products, and they graciously accommodated my early departure on the last day. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Ask Christine G about Village Victorian Bed & Breakfast
And we are also glad you found this place! :) Thank you for the nice words... helps us to know we are accomplishing our goal to give people a great experience. Looking forward to next time.
Top to bottom best B&B I've ever stayed at and I've stayed at quite a few. The great curb appeal continues through the gardens, the sitting rooms and the bedrooms. The breakfasts are out of this world. The best two features are probably the innkeepers, Ellen and Philip. So from one traveler to another don't miss this opportunity for memorable B&B experience.

- FB Clutts hoping he still fits in with Bears
FB Clutts hoping he still fits in with Bears
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears fullback Tyler Clutts watched all offseason as the next evolution of the offense implemented more plays involving tight ends as lead blockers, leaving him to wonder how he’d separate from the pack to earn a roster spot.
Tyler Clutts has been replaced as lead blocker on running plays by tight ends for much of the preseason.Clutts came into camp knowing he’d be on the bubble, but he’s also aware there’s a team -- perhaps the Bears -- that appreciates the fullback position, and could use his services.
“Coming into camp, I knew as a fullback I was gonna have to distinguish myself as a physical blocker, someone that can pound out the tough yards, help Matt (Forte) pound out the tough yards,” Clutts said. “For me, I think short yardage and some first-down runs are really what I feel like I can (do to) separate myself from other blocking tight ends blocking in the backfield.”
Having bounced around in the CFL with Edmonton, the UFL with the Sacramento Mountain Lions, and the Arena League, Clutts in 2010 finally earned a spot on the practice squad of the Cleveland Browns. Clutts spent two weeks with Cleveland that year, in addition to the preseason of 2011 before the Bears snatched him up off the Browns’ practice squad.
Clutts played all 16 games in 2011 with the Bears (eight starts), catching eight passes for 48 yards in addition to clearing the way as the lead blocker on several of Forte’s runs. The second-year veteran also took over long snapping in Week 11 when Patrick Mannelly suffered a knee injury.
So far through the preseason, though, the Bears seem to be using tight ends such as Matt Spaeth and Kyle Adams as lead blockers in Clutts’
customary fullback spot on running plays. Nobody truly knows what that means for Clutts, but his inactivity from the fullback spot is telling.
Asked whether he feels he can perform as well as the tight ends the team has using in his place this preseason, Clutts said, “I do.”
“But they’ve been doing a job. I can’t say that they’ve done a bad job,” he said. “For me, it’s just something I feel I’m a little bit more comfortable with. They haven’t been doing it much. This is kind of new to them. They’ve done a good job adjusting to it. But I’m always gonna feel that I’m an efficient blocker from the backfield.”
Clutts also considers himself somewhat of a momentum builder as the lead blocker for the running backs. By smashing into the line and crushing a gap-fitting linebacker in the hole, Clutts knows such plays, while widely unnoticed, go a long way toward establishing a level of physicality at the point of attack that the offense can feed on throughout a game.
Look no further than the team’s 34-29 win in Week 4 last season over the Carolina Panthers. In that game, the Bears threw just 17 passes, in part, because Clutts cleared the holes sufficiently enough for Forte to bounce back from a career-low 2 yards rushing the week before, to a career-high 205 yards.
With Clutts providing many of the lead blocks, the Bears averaged 7.2 yards in that victory, which snapped a two-game skid.
“Something I feel like I add is that I can get the physical momentum going,” Clutts said. “Last year when we played Carolina (proved) if you can establish that point of attack, you really can get the defense on their heels. Then it opens up the rest of your game.”
What’s closing, however, seems to be the window of opportunity for Clutts with the Bears and fullbacks around the league in general. Clutts admits as much, but isn’t overly concerned. Somebody somewhere might be interested if Clutts fails to win a job in Chicago.
“I came into camp knowing it was gonna be a battle. But I’m not really stressing about it because it’s out of my hands,” Clutts said. “What I’ve put on film and what I’ve done so far at camp, hopefully it’s been enough to get myself a job here. Yeah, (fullbacks are) becoming more of a rare commodity. But there are still teams that use them quite a bit. Football makes its cycles. Hopefully, the fullback position comes back.”

[perl-win32-gui-users] Dumb questions re window objects/focus/topmost and destruction of
From: Ian Batterbee <ian.batterbee@au...> - 2005-04-15 23:42:42
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I just can't figure out how to do it. I've been programming in perl for years, but mainly for CGI scripting under linux, and Win32::GUI is quite new to me.
How do I destroy a win32::gui window object once I'm finished with it?
I can delete the reference/handle to it, but I'm not convinced that that actually frees up the win32 object that it referred to.
Alternatively, I've got this all wrong in my head, and I don't need to destroy the window at all.
Should I create all potential windows at startup, and then show() or hide() them as necessary, or should I create them dynamically as and when needed ?
If I take the latter approach, should I create it the first time it's needed, and then reuse it, or create and destroy it as needed each time the user needs to see that window ?
What I want to do is this: I have a systray icon. For the systray_Click event, I want a window with a listview in it to pop up in the middle of the screen.
I've currently got it working with show()/enable() and hide()/disable(), but this creates the problem where the window doesn't get elevated to the top if it is already open.  I don't want to use -topmost=>1, because I don't want to force my window on the user if they want to hide it, but having said that, if they click on the systray icon, I want it to come to the front so they can see it.
I've also tried using SetFocus(), but that doesn't seem to work very well either - it certainly gives focus, but doesn't raise the window.
I then tried using Change() to set -topmost=>1 on the existing window, and then back to 0, but that didn't have any effect either. I even tried calling DoEvents after setting it to 1.
The only way I've managed to get it to consistently come to the top is to create a new window object each time. This leads me to believe that I should be destroying the previous one before creating a new one so as to avoid chewing up memory.
But.. I can't figure out how to destroy an existing window.
Also, if the window is already on top, and the user clicks on the systray icon, I don't really want the window to be destroyed at all, because that makes the window flicker as it recreated. It would be tidier to just have it SetFocus in that situation, but I don't know how to detect if it is already on top.
And that's what leads me back to the questions at the top of the post.

Ahhhhh... yep.. worked like a charm.  Thanks a lot.
Would have been easier if that was actually listed in the Win32::GUI
documentation.. I guess it's a it's just a win32 api call, and the
win32::gui module just passes it through ?
Is there a list of all available calls I can make on a gui object
floating around somewhere ? MSDN perhaps ?

All these calls are listed in the Win32_GUI.html document - not in

You're right.. I was looking in Window.html.

I just had a quick look at this page - and it is out of date (more functions
and improved documentation for others in the latest documentation).
I had forgot that the documentation only comes with the source, and you have
to run a script to generate HTML versions of it. This documentation should
be included in the PPM's and perhaps, on the Win32::GUI Sourceforge

Strong Poison (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries with Harriet Vane) by Sayers, Dorothy L.: Thorndike Press 9781410452269 Hardcover - AbeBooks.com
Home Sayers, Dorothy L. Strong Poison (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries with Harriet Vane)
ISBN 10: 1410452263 / ISBN 13: 9781410452269
(20,981 ratings)
Synopsis: The mystery novel 'Strong Poison' of 'Dorothy Leigh Sayers' was first published in 1930; before her novel 'The unpleasantness At the Bellona Club' and after 'Five Red Herrings'. 'Strong Poison' is one of the most popular novels of 'Lord Peter Wimsey' series. Harriet Vane, a police fiction writer, is on trial for murder of her former lover, Philip Boyes, who was a novelist and essayist. Philip Boyes wrote in support of atheism, anarchy, and free love. He disapproved marriage and persuaded Harriet Vane to live a bohemian life with him without marriage. He proposed after a year, but Harriet got outraged, accused him for destroying her reputation and broke off the relationship. Later, after taking his dinner with his cousin, Philip Boyes went to her flat for reconciliation and Harriet offered him a cup of coffee before he left her flat. In that very night he fell ill and died after four days. His post-mortem examination showed that he was killed by poisoning with Arsenic. Harriet Vane is accused for his murder and all clues point at her as guilty of his murder. Lord Peter Wimsey, who helps to prove her innocence, wants to marry Harriet Vane.......... Dorothy Leigh Sayers was born on 13 June 1893 and she was the only child of her parents. Her father, Rev. Henry Sayers, was headmaster of Choir School and, chaplain and rector of the Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford. Her mother, Helen Mary Leigh Sayers, was the daughter of a solicitor Frederick Leigh from Millbrook, Hampshire. Dorothy grew up in a tiny village in Huntingdonshire, where they moved after her father became rector. Later, her father moved to Christchurch in Cambridge-shire. When she was six years old, her father started teaching her Latin. From 1909 to 1912, she was educated at the Godolphin boarding school in Salisbury. In 1912, she won a scholarship to Somerville College, Oxford. She studied there modern languages and medieval literature. She finished with first-class honors in 1915, but at that time the women could not be awarded degrees. When the position changed, she graduated as MA in 1920 and she was one among the first women to receive a degree. After finishing her education, Sayers worked for Blackwell's and then as a teacher in several locations including in Normandy, France. She worked as a successful copywriter from 1922 to 1931 at S. H. Benson's advertising agency in London. Her collaboration with artist John Gilroy resulted in "The Mustard Club" for Colman's Mustard and the Guinness "Zoo" advertisements. On January 3, 1924, at the age of 30, Sayers secretly gave birth to a son,* who was named John Anthony. This birth was the result of her sexual affairs with Bill White. The child was cared for by her aunt and cousin, Amy and Ivy Amy Shrimpton. Sayers passed her son off as her nephew to her friends and the truth got revealed by her will after her death. Two years later, after publishing her first two detective novels, Sayers married Captain Oswald Atherton "Mac" Fleming, a Scottish journalist on April 8, 1926. His professional name was "Atherton Fleming" and her son John Anthony was given his name, Fleming. Fleming was a divorced man with two children. Sayers and Fleming lived in the flat at 24 Great James Street in Bloomsbury and Sayers lived there for the rest of her life.

The basket arrived in a timely manner. However, for the money I don't think it was what I expected. Probably wouldn't recommend this to a friend or purchase any other such basket from Overstock.

White House visit? No thanks, says NBA's Durant | Fox News
President Trump meets with World Series champs Chicago Cubs
Video from the team's visit to the White House
Pro basketball star Kevin Durant grew up near Washington, D.C., but he’s in no rush to visit the White House if he and his teammates on the NBA champion Golden State Warriors get invited.
“Nah, I won’t do that,” Durant said Thursday, in an interview with ESPN. “I don’t respect who’s in office right now.”

It has become a tradition in the U.S. for championship teams to visit the sitting president, as baseball’s Chicago Cubs did in June when they met with President Trump.
But the outspoken Durant -- who recently apologized for negative comments about India after conducting a basketball clinic in the country -- accused Trump of helping to divide the U.S. rather than unite it. He added that many of his Warriors teammates feel the same way, the Washington Times reported.
“I don’t agree with what he [Trump] agrees with, so my voice is going to be heard by not doing that,” Durant said about declining a possible invitation to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “That’s just me personally, but if I know my guys well enough, they’ll all agree with me.”
During a “Kevin Durant Day” parade in Maryland, Durant added that Trump had made hate “fashionable again,” with comments about last week’s violence in Chalottesville, Va., TMZ reported.
The league MVP, who infuriated fans of the Oklahoma City Thunder by leaving as a free agent in 2016 to join Golden State, said he agreed with other NBA stars, such as LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who’ve recently criticized the president.
Normally, league champions stop by the White House when they play in or near Washington the following season. The Warriors are next scheduled to play in D.C. on Feb. 28.
