Triumph In College: 19: Employ Daily Affirmations & Success Tips
Understand the Power of Daily Affirmations and Success Tips
Our lives are an outer manifestation of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Our whole lives can be transformed if we choose to think positive thoughts and commit to being better persons. Positive affirmations are simple positive statements that you can choose to repeat to yourself.
An increased body of scientific evidence supports the proposition that you can “say it until you become it.” In other words, if you define who you want to be, and repeat that vision repeatedly, you are much more likely to transform yourself into that person.
Stated differently, daily affirmations are positive statements that describe a desired situation, which are often repeated, until they get impressed on your mind. As you repeat these statements, you come to believe them. This in turn pushes you to take action and to strive to make the positive statements come true.
Daily affirmations train your brain to think positively; they are uplifting truths you want to believe and heartwarming convictions about yourself or the world as a whole. They are one of the most effective ways to proactively and permanently change the way you think.
There are many “daily affirmation” videos on YouTube which you can explore, and then introduce to your students. Students can also be encourage to make their own daily affirmations – by posting in their dorm rooms or place of study, or even by making their own videos
Similar to daily affirmations are “success tips.” These phrases serve as reminders to you. These phrases are typically advice from those who have already achieved success.
Watch this short TED Talks video, “Richard St. John's 8 secrets of success” http://www.ted.com/talks/richard_st_john_s_8_secrets_of_success.html (3:33).
Write down any “success tips” you discern from the video, which you may find useful in your life, in your journal.
Over the next three days, review the following daily affirmations and success tips – and the text or videos which accompanies them.
Choose the most powerful daily affirmations and success tips (either in text form, or video), and write them down in your journal. You are not confined to the list below. You may also choose success tips or daily affirmations which you have previously discovered and use in your life.
Place the chosen success tips on a sheet of paper, and post the paper in your room where you are certain to see them each morning. Review the success tips each morning for the next seven days. After seven days, write in your journal as to the impact of these success tips upon you. Consider continuing the use of success tips and daily affirmations in subsequent weeks.

· “Self-Control and Grit are the Most Important Determinants of Success”
A TedX talk by Angela Lee Duckworth, “Grit – The Key to Success,” illuminates the importance of grit (i.e., perseverance and determination) in this 6-minute video: http://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_the_key_to_success_grit.html
Sleep Advice from Fellow Students. Here is some advice from college students about getting enough sleep:
To manage all your time better, get more sleep. More sleep will also lead to you being nicer, more attractive, and generally more awesome. And yes, more sleep can even lead to greater socialization. Better grades is then just an added bonus!
Additional Resource: Dr. James Maas, The Power of Sleep. To learn more, consider watching this 28-minute video, “Dr. James Maas at The UP Experience 2010”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxEJTNEtIKY.
“Fake it till you make it” is not about faking happiness until you trick yourself into being happy. It’s not about acting like you’re too cool for school until other people also believe you are, and then basing your life around a made-up personality. It’s about confidence. It’s about meeting situations that you feel intimidated by head-on, telling yourself that you’re ready for them, and putting “I-can-DO-this” intentions out there, until you’ve done such a good job convincing yourself that you suddenly can handle the challenge before you.
Appear confident, in everything you do. And if you are not – fake it! (By appearing to act confident, those around you don’t know of your insecurities – and it actually trains your mind to think confidently!)
“Inspirational Video on Increasing Your Confidence” – Believe in yourself (from Britain’s Got Talent) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Gs02ZmUmE (3:02)
Studies indicate that your income is destined to become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. But it gets worse. Your weight is destined to become the average of the five people you’re around most. Your habits (smoking, drinking, etc.) will correlate with those folks. Your level of marital satisfaction, of outside friendship, of ability to play the 1990s video game Street Fighter? All are tied to some degree to those of your peers.
View Greg Reid’s YouTube Video, “How to Create Success by Association”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwkdEI7Dbyg (2:23).
Also view this video from the College Success Series by Pedro De Abreu: “Who do you hang out with” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJg22LtLcVo (7:30).
Remember - love your family and friends – but choose your peer group.
These are key words of wisdom from one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all time.
It takes “self-control” – making a sacrifice today in order to obtain a greater reward later. This is aptly explained by behavioral psychologist Dan Ariely in a TedX talk, “Dan Ariely at TEDxDuke”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPQhj6ktYSo&feature=g-list&list=PLWISm-2xRzgkKn4kRcpLopDT_i7JRmnKG (17:48)
Realize the Empirical Value of a College Education. The Great Recession of 2008-2009, from which the United States economy is still recovering, revealed some stark truths regarding the value of a college education. Not only do college graduates earn a great deal more over the course of their lifetimes, but also their rate of unemployment is far below that of those who do not possess college educations. In short, there are jobs out there – for educated and skilled workers.
Say the foregoing statement out loud to yourself whenever you are tempted to procrastinate. Even when others are around you. (They may ask you what you are doing, and then they’ll be inwardly jealous of you.) This statement – if you actually state it out loud – works to assist you in getting started on a project.
Procrastinators don't have good problem solving skills and struggle more with homework than those that did it consistently early. Here are some videos on avoiding procrastination and using available time more effectively.
Establish your work space to avoid distractions. “Stop Procrastinating” by Charlie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjIsdbBsE8g (4:17)
Also view “The Science of Procrastination – & How to Manage It” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBwfZZvjKo (2:49).
A great video on this, “How Bad Do You Want It? (Success)” is found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsSC2vx7zFQ (6:00), featuring Eric Thomas (inspirational speaker) and former East Carolina running back Giavanni Ruffin.
Eric Thomas also communicates this lesson in a classroom setting, in this “How Bad Do You Want Success” video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfoFGGyRvU (5:30)
Some students watch this video every day - as a daily affirmation.
Adam LoDolce, “The Dating Confidence Coach,” once gave a presentation on our college campus. He related the story of how he learned to venture outside of his own comfort zone. He had sought out the advice of a colleague, and they were having lunch at a crowded restaurant. When Adam inquired of his colleague as to how to be more outgoing, his colleague stood up on his chair in the restaurant and shouted out, “I love all of you very much.”
Some in the restaurant smiled. Some even applauded. After his colleague sat down, the colleague said: “See that table over there, where the family is looking at me disapprovingly? That’s o.k. Not everyone will accept me for whom I am. From now on, they are no longer a part of my universe.”
Don’t be afraid of what others think of you. There are plenty of people who will accept you for who you are. If you encounter rejection (and realize that you will – and everyone does), just note that that person, or those people, are no longer a part of your own universe. And move on.
· “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.” - Steve Jobs
Watch this short video, “Steve Jobs passion at work,” at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PznJqxon4zE (1:31)
If you are uncertain of your career path, narrow down your choice of careers by discovering what personality traits you possess, and learn how you can translate your various aptitudes into possible career paths. And, as also discussed in another chapter, seek out a career for which you possess a passion.
“Never Give Up in Life – A Truly Inspirational Video” Nicholas James Vujicic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13N6gAlhAqg (5:18)
Never Give up: Inspirational video” (zebra battles lion): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx796zSg5gs (2:46)
Jimmy Valvano: “Jimmy’s 1993 ESPY Speech”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuoVM9nm42E (11:14)
“Derek Redmond's Incredible Olympic Story - Injury Mid-Race”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2G8KVzTwfw (2:35)
It’s your choice. Choose enthusiasm, energy, and elation. Choose to win. Choose BIG success!
Here’s more inspirational videos:
“Susan Boyle First Audition - Britain’s Got Talent”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OcQ9A-5noM (7:03)
When you are afraid or fearful of something – whether it be introducing yourself to a stranger, public speaking, performing, etc. – rush toward this fear and get it done. It’s great on the other side.
Tips from Professional Coaches. Perhaps the largest challenge is not in finding success tips, but rather applying them to your own life, business, or professional practice. For this reason, many successful entrepreneurs use coaches, a couple of whom are listed below.
Other people have learned to write down the success tips they come across, and then condense them into not more than a single piece of paper (front and back). Whether placed in a smart phone, or in a purse of wallet, this listing of success tips is consulted often. As a better success tip is uncovered, the listing is changed – but always kept to two pages (never more). Even then, implementation of only one or two strategies should be undertaken. Again, focus is important.
· Enhance Your Communication Skills.
“You Build Trust by Listening to the Client's Story, not by Telling Yours.” - –Bill Bachrach, author and coach to financial advisors. Visit http://www.baivbfp.com/
· “Make Today Count”
“Good decisions today will give you a better tomorrow … Keep a positive attitude throughout the day. Happiness is a matter of perspective - it is something you decide ahead of time. Influence others with your attitude. Say something positive in every conversation ... Sincerely compliment, praise, acknowledge, bolster, raise up, and reward people whenever possible. Express gratitude daily.” – John Maxwell, author of Make Today Count: The Secret of Your Success Is Determined by Your Daily Agenda, and many other books
· The Seven C's of Success - by Brian Tracy
“After having studied top achievers and peak performers over the past 25 years, I've concluded that these unique men and women, have in most cases, mastered what I call the Seven C's of Success.
o Clarity - Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you want.
o Competence - You can't climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.
o Constraints - Eighty percent of all obstacles to success come from within. Find out what is constraining in you or your company and deal with it.
o Concentration - The ability to focus on one thing single-mindedly and see it through until it's done takes more character than anything else.
o Creativity - Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle, if you don't use it you'll lose it.
o Courage - Most in demand and least in supply, courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right.
o Continuous learning - Read, at the very least, one book a week on business to keep you miles ahead of the competition. And just as you eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend 30 minutes a day exploring e-mail, sending messages, going through web sites, because like exercise, it's the only way you can keep on top of technology. If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.”
The foregoing is from Brian Tracy, http://www.appleseeds.org/Tracy_7-Cs-Success.htm
Concepts from “The Strategic Coach”:
Define Your Unique Ability. The essence of what you love to do and do best, in all areas of your life. Delegate “competent” activities – those for which I am merely competent, and “incompetent activities” – those that are stressful due to lack of required skill. “Is this something I should be doing, or can it be done better by someone else?”
Unique Ability Activities – The activities for which you have superior skill, passion, energy, and endless opportunity for improvement.
Excellent Activities – The activities for which you have superior skill, a great reputation, and sense of teamwork, but no passion.
Competent Activities – The activities for which you are merely adequate, only reaching minimum standards.
Incompetent Activities - The activities where you experience failure and stress because you don’t have the required skill.
Referability Habits. Show up on time. Do what you say. Finish what you start. Say please and thank you.
The R-Factor Question: “If we were sitting here three years from today, what has to have happened during that three-year period for you to feel happy about your progress?”
The 10x Goal: Last year’s revenue, multiplied by 10. Obtain a dramatically expanded vision of the company’s future. Consider the crucial delegations I must make to achieve this 10x growth. How have I leveraged myself, and my team? Approach it as a game. Brainstorm with team members key changes that will lead to breakthrough growth – communicate the largest check goal to the team; strategize together how to achieve these goals.

75 Years Later–Pearl Harbor and the Jewish Question | The Ugly Truth
« The NATO campaign against freedom of expression
How they do it–‘Trump administration the most pro-Israel in a generation’ »
ed note–chock full of goodies, this one.
1. It has already been proven beyond any doubt that there was no ‘surprise’ vis a vis the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941, anymore than the 5 Israeli intelligence officers arrested on the morning of 9/11 were ‘surprised’ to see airliners crashing into the Twin Towers as they filmed it all and cheered wildly. After all, the Israel-firsters who were top-heavy in the Bush Admin and who pushed for the destruction of Iraq had called for a ‘new Pearl Harbor’ in the ‘Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force’ section of the PNAC policy paper ‘Rebuilding America’s Defenses’.
2. Please note what our esteemed Israeli author writes thus–
‘The Pearl Harbor attack meant that “finally, a non-Jewish reason to join the war made itself available.”
–just like the events taking place on 9/11 meant that ‘finally, a non-Jewish reason to join the war against Israel’s enemies in the Islamic world made itself available’.
3. Someday, if all goes according to Judea’s plan, this article will be written again, almost word for word, except that the topic being discussed will be how the events of 9/11 (the ‘new Pearl Harbor’ as it was/is called by those Neocons who pulled it off) finished the job that their great, great grandfathers began in 1941 with their having engineered the ‘surprise’ attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor which only created ‘Israel’, but how the ‘new Pearl Harbor’ brought the entire project full circle in the creation of those grandiose dreams thousands of years old in their planning, Greater Israel.
The world marked the 75th anniversary this week of arguably the single most pivotal international event of the 20th century: The Japanese surprise attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941. It was this that triggered the United States’ entry into World War II, leading to the defeat of the Nazi empire in Europe and, ultimately, to the end of the Holocaust – and even the establishment of the State of Israel.
Yisrael Medad, Director of Educational Programming and Information Resources at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, says that, from a Jewish-Israeli viewpoint, it must be emphasized that “the US policy of neutrality that was being pushed by anti-Semites (who called the European war the ‘Jewish war’) was literally killing Jews in Europe.” The Pearl Harbor attack meant that “finally, a non-Jewish reason to join the war made itself available.”
Mischel’s interest in this period has been chiefly motivated by a series of providential coincidences that befell him. These led him not only to a deep appreciation of the rank-and-file who actually fought the war to defeat the Nazis, but also to visit Belgium to learn about the battle and see the all-but-forgotten gravesite of his father’s best friend Sid Mosner, who fell in battle there at the age of 19.
“It was the beginning of the long chain of events that led to a massive upheaval around the world, changing the lives of millions upon millions of people across the world. Personally, it deeply affected the history of my own family; my father joined the military because of it, totally changing my family’s entire history. The same thing happened for many, many families, in which people responded to the need of the hour and simply stepped up to the plate and did what they needed to do. I believe a must read-for everyone is Tom Brokaw’s book The Greatest Generation, in which he paid homage to these soldiers and how they essentially saved the world.”
HM: “I don’t really look at it that way. In terms of how the Americans responded to the massive murder of Jews, it is well-documented that that the US military didn’t exactly rush to help destroy the railway tracks to the concentration camps, nor were the American immigration policies designed to help very much. It wouldn’t occur to me to think that this was the beginning of the end of the Shoah.”
A7: “In the days and weeks following Pearl Harbor, Japanese in the United States were placed in detention camps. How do you view this?”
HM: “They were perceived as an ‘enemy within,’ and this seemed to be the logical thing to do at the time. The more modern viewpoint, of course, is that it was wrong to do this, but this is a form of revisionism that uses a different lens to view past events.”
“Sometimes the darkest hours are the ones that lead to the rebirth. For the Jewish People, the Holocaust was the precursor to the rebirth of Israel; for the US, the horrible fires of Pearl Harbor was the prelude to great victory – and just like Japanese imperialism and Nazism were ideologies that had to be totally defeated, so, too, must the Jihad of today be totally vanquished.”

I really don’t know how Chosenists such as Yisrael Medad, ‘Director of Educational Programming and Information Resources at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem’, can possibly maintain the fiction that Pearl Harbor was some kinda ‘surprise attack’ when it is declassified info that “Up to the morning of December 7, 1941, everything that the Japanese were planning to do was known to the United States.”
And yet… ‘Medad also states that the dramatic surprise attack [sic] also led to increased public American support for the war, and Zionist organizations consequently assumed a larger role in American Jewish internal politics.’
Zionist organizations assumed control of Yanklandian foreign policy since the time of Woody ‘Woodpecker’ Wilson… ‘In a 1940 (election-year) speech, Roosevelt stated typically: “I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.” But privately, the President planned just the opposite: to bring America into the World War as Britain’s ally, exactly as Woodrow Wilson had done in World War I.’
Of course Woody gave The Juze not only Yanklandia’s involvement in WWI but also the Federal Reserve by which means they were able to finance the war. And enslave the ‘west’ in gargantuan debt. Yanklandia was lured into both wars by The Juze via the usual false flag contrived events. ‘Via deception we shall make war’, and all that shoa business.
Yawn. So tedious.

OtoRhinoLaryngology - Alexandros G. Sfakianakis: A Novel Reticular Dermal Graft Leverages Architectural and Biological Properties to Support Wound Repair
A Novel Reticular Dermal Graft Leverages Architectural and Biological Properties to Support Wound Repair: Background: Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently used in reconstructive surgery and as scaffolds to treat chronic wounds. The 3-dimensional architecture and extracellular matrix provide structural and signaling cues for repair and remodeling. However, most ADMs are not uniformly porous, which can lead to heterogeneous host engraftment. In this study, we hypothesized that a novel human reticular ADM (HR-ADM; AlloPatch Pliable, Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, Edison, N.J.) when aseptically processed would have a more open uniform structure with retention of biological components known to facilitate wound healing.

tvjames x blog: Vacation, Day 5
Technically the final day of our vacation, the Washington State History Museum. When I was in Jr. High, we took the mandated semester of Washington State History. The textbook was tiny and we studied the state's history 2-3 days each week and then watched Three Stooges movies the rest of each week. So, needless to say, I wasn't expecting much from the museum we'd gone by a lot but never made it into. I was quite surprised and impressed. The WSHM is housed in an amazing building near the waterfront in Tacoma. It has five stories (two stories of exhibits plus auditoriums and big spaces for field trip groups). It seems like this is a well-funded institution. Ben showed signs of having had enough today. It took a lot to keep him happy.
Watching Rachel explore these museums has been interesting, a mixture of impatience, genuine interest and a strong desire to share with us what she'd learned. I wonder how I would visit museums differently without children. I know that I skipped a lot of stuff, I wonder if I would move more slowly and read more. Or take more photos. This particular picture does not show the line of boys waiting to get on the stagecoach - it was incredibly crowded in the morning with groups of children, families and seniors. By the afternoon, it was far quieter.
We did not get a lot of photos of the family today, this was the only shot with Lori in it. There were lots of these types of propaganda posters. They'll be in our Flickr pool soon. It seems pretty obvious from yesterday's trip to the Museum of Flight and today's visit to the Washington State History Museum that as bad as war is, it is a big driver of the economy, of change, of innovation, or a number of kinds of "progress."
And then lunch at Harmon's Brewery. Lori and I had been there a little while back and really enjoyed it, so it was on our list of places to go again, so it was today's stop for lunch. I had Crab Cakes - huge heaping piles of shredded crab on french bread covered with melted cheese and some of the best onion rings either of us have had in a long time. Lori had the Tacoma Dome (French) dip. Rachel had a tasty looking pizza and Ben had some tasty chicken strips. (Vacation means getting to eat stuff off of your childrens' plates.)
This is a tree that we think shows all the stuff that can be made from a tree. There was, oddly, no placard to describe it. There was an interactive screen, but we didn't stop to play with it.
And then back into the museum to check out more of the exhibits. There was a neat smaller exhibit of contemporary Native American art and a overly small gallery of icons (like one of the Rainier Beer bottle costumes from the commercials of the 80s and this poster.) There was also stuff like a chunk of the original Tacoma Narrows ("Galloping Gertie") bridge. Here's some wall art suggesting the size and shape of Sasquatch/Bigfoot. There was also a mummy exhibit that was pretty cool. The Washington State-angle was that there was an actual mummy there. He'd been brought over in the late 1880s and then donated to the historical society. They had two photos showing the two times he'd been x-rayed (I was amused that the x-ray read "Ankh-Wennefer M. Mummy" at the top.) He was apparently between 55 and 65 years old when he died about 300-400 B.C. due to complications of a injury in which he broke his pelvic bone. (No photgraphs were allowed inside the exhibit.)
Finally, there was a large model train exhibit that showed the area in 1950. Ben was getting fussy by then, so we didn't get to look too long at it and figure out where exactly everything was. We were a little surprised that it didn't seem to really help you understand the state as a whole. Part of it may have been because of how we had to pick and choose what to really pay attention to, but there was a large Native American section, and then some of the early industry, and then... nearly nothing. A little about Boeing, but nothing more modern, save for the beer commercial prop. No Microsoft, no Amazon, nothing that really gave you a sense of recent history. Still, a really packed place with lots to look at and learn. at

US 4881091 AAbstract
A data card illumination arrangement for use within a compact identification card camera system and for providing uniform indirect illumination over the entire information bearing surface of a data card. The arrangement includes a pair of illumination assemblies subtended by a pair of side reflector elements. Each of the illumination assemblies includes a strobe tube, a U-shaped channel member having a comb filter portion, and a planar reflector. One of the assemblies is located adjacent and parallel to the upper surface of the data card while the other is located adjacent and parallel to the lower surface of the data card. Illumination provided by each of the strobe tubes is directed away from the data card. The planar reflectors redirect the illumination toward the data card. This redirected illumination passes through the comb filter portions of the channel members to facilitate uniform indirect illumination of the data card. The side reflector elements are positioned so as to ensure uniform illumination over the right and left hand edges of the data frame. The data card illumination arrangement of the present invention not only provides for uniform illumination of the data card but also fits within the limited area available within a compact identification card camera system.

4. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 3, wherein each of said first and second comb filters has a comb configuration provided by a plurality of spaced triangular comb teeth.
5. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 4, wherein said linear sources of illumination produce a flash of illumination having a greater intensity near the center of each source and wherein each of said comb filters has a length at least sufficient to affect the illumination produced near the center of each of said linear sources.
6. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 5, wherein each of said comb filters has a length substantially equal to the width of the data frame and has a denser comb pattern near its center than at its opposite ends.
7. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 6, wherein each of said comb filters is made of a reflective material.
8. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 7, wherein said planar reflectors are mirrors.
9. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 8, wherein said data card illumination compartment supports a reflector unit opposite the data card, said reflector unit having means for defining an opening and blocking direct illumination from said linear sources of illumination from entering the reflector unit.
10. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 9, wherein said reflector means further includes a pair of side reflectors subtending said first and second planar reflectors.
11. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 10, wherein said reflector means further includes first and second U-shaped channel members each positioned about one of said first and second linear sources of illumination for directing a portion of the illumination provided by said linear sources of illumination toward said first and second planar reflectors.

13. The data card illumination arrangement of claim 12, wherein said data card illumination compartment includes means for supporting each of said U-shaped channel members adjacent and parallel a respective edge of the data frame.
This invention relates to photographic apparatus and, more particularly, it concerns an illumination arrangement for use in compact identification card camera systems and by which film is uniformly exposed to a data card image.
Identification card camera systems which produce a composite card having a subject portrait image and a data image are known in the photographic arts. The subject portrait image is produced by a conventional objective lens, shutter, and flash unit arrangement. The camera system includes either a filter or mask to confine the subject portrait image to a particular portion of the film within the camera system. The data image may include identification information such as name, ID number and signature contained in a data frame of a data card. The data image is produced by photographically reproducing at least the data frame portion of a data card housed in an illumination compartment having an internal source of illumination and a lens system separate from the above-mentioned objective lens. The camera system includes reflective elements and filters or masks to direct the data card image to the film and confine the data card image to a portion of the film not subject to the portrait image.
Typically, the data card illumination compartment does not include a shutter and relies on an internal flash illumination source to expose the film. The quality of the data card image on the film depends, therefore, on the quality of flash exposure provided by the internal illumination source. For example, in order to provide for a uniform exposure of the film to a light image of the data card, the illumination source must provide uniform illumination of the data card. In a conventional relatively large sized camera system, uniformity in the illumination of the data card is achieved by use of a large size data card compartment which allows the source to be spaced adequately from the card for dispersion of the illumination prior to reaching the data card.
However, when it is necessary to provide flash illumination of a data card within the confines of a very compact, portable identification card camera system, for example, it is not possible to locate the illumination source an adequate distance away from the data card to allow for dispersion of the illumination. Further, conventional flash illumination sources, such as electronic flash units or strobe tubes, produce an intense non-uniform illumination along their length. Placement of such a conventional flash unit close to the data card, not only does not allow for dispersion to compensate for the different distances between the flash unit and all the areas of the data card, but also does not accommodate dispersion to compensate for the nonuniform illumination along the length of the flash unit. Hence, use of such flash units as illumination sources in the data card compartment of a very compact camera system produces a flash exposure having undesirable hot spots and areas of poor illumination.
Thus, a need exists for an illumination arrangement providing for adequate and uniform illumination of the entire data frame of a data card to provide a uniform flash exposure of the film and at the same time accommodate the dimensional constraints of a compact identification card camera system.
In accordance with the present invention, a data card illumination arrangement is provided which ensures uniform flash exposure of the film in a compact identification card camera system to a light image of data on a data card.
The data card illumination arrangement of the present invention is embodied in a frame-like structure including a pair of illumination assemblies subtended by a pair of side reflectors. Each of the illumination assemblies includes a strobe tube, a U-shaped channel member, a comb filter and a planar reflector. One of the assemblies is located adjacent and parallel to the top of the data card while the other is located adjacent and parallel to the bottom of the data card. Each of the assemblies is of a length corresponding to the width of the data frame of the data card. Each of the strobe tubes is supported within one of the substantially U-shaped channel members so that the illumination provided by the tubes is directed away from the data card. This illumination is redirected toward the data card by the planar reflectors. A substantial portion of the redirected illumination passes through the comb filters to provide for uniform illumination and eliminate hot spots along the upper and lower edges of the data frame. The side reflectors aid in providing uniform illumination to the sides of the data frame.
A principal object of the invention is the provision of a data card illumination arrangement by which uniform indirect illumination of the data card is assured. Another object of the present invention is the provision of such an illumination arrangement which is employed in a small space and as such allows for compact camera system design. Other objects and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description to follow taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like parts are designated by like reference characters.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view illustrating an exemplary camera system within which the data card illumination arrangement of the present invention is housed;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross-section on line 2--2 of FIG. 1 illustrating the orientation of components during illumination of the data card;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view representation of the data card illumination arrangement and reflector unit of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is an inverted, fragmentary cross-section on line 4--4 of FIG. 3.
In FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, an exemplary compact identification card camera system incorporating the data card illumination arrangement of the present invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and shown to be mounted on a base structure 12 via a mounting element 14. The camera system 10 includes a substantially rectangular housing 16 and a removable film holder 18; is of a compact design so that the rectangular housing 16 has height and width dimensions nearly equal to that of the film holder 18; and is of a type which produces a composite identification card constituted by a subject image and a data image. For the sake of clarity, only those elements of the exemplary camera system 10 necessary to provide an understanding of the working environment and size constraints placed on the present data card illumination arrangement will be described.
The rectangular housing 16 has a front housing portion 20 which accommodates an aiming device 22, an electronic flash unit 24 and a translucent cover 26 which overlies both the aiming device 22 and the flash unit 24. The front portion 20 has a central circular opening 28 in which an objective lens 30 is mounted. The housing 16 includes a lower portion 32 having recessed hand grips 34 in each side wall 35 and 37 thereof. The side wall 35 is also provided with a slot 39 for enabling the slidable insertion and removal of a data card holder 42 for the data card 36 (FIG. 2) into a support frame 43.
The film holder 18 houses a conventional film pack 38 in a manner presenting successive self-developing film units to a focal plane 40. The film holder 18 is slidably mounted on the back of the housing 16 so that each successive film unit may be exposed to two separate composite identification card images.
In FIG. 2 of the drawings, the relative positions of the camera system components are shown during exposure of a portion of a film unit to a data card image. The data card 36 is supported in a substantially vertical orientation by the data card holder 42 located in the frame 43. The information or data frame of the data card 36 is illuminated by the frame like data card illumination arrangement of the present invention which includes upper and lower illumination assemblies 44 and 46, respectively, subtended by a pair of side reflectors 48.
The upper assembly 44 includes a strobe tube 50 supported in a U-shaped channel member 52 so as to be located slightly above and oriented parallel to the upper surface of the data card. The sides of the channel member 52 are formed from polished aluminum which ensure that illumination provided by the strobe tube 50 is directed away from the data card. A planar reflector 54 is positioned at an angle in front of the open side of the channel member 52 and serves to redirect the illumination provided by the strobe tube 50 toward the data card 36. The channel member 52 has a comb filter portion 56 along the edge closest to the data card and extending toward the planar reflector 54. Thus, a portion of the redirected illumination from the reflector 54 passes through the comb filter portion 56 on its way to the data card. The comb filter portion 56 serves to disperse the illumination directed toward the upper edge of the data card and provide a more uniform distribution of illumination as will be described in greater detail below.
The lower illumination assembly 46 is a mirror image of the upper assembly 44 and includes a strobe tube 58 positioned within a U-shaped channel member 60 so as to be located slightly below and oriented parallel to the lower surface of the data card 36. A planar reflector 62 is positioned at an angle in front of the channel member 60 to redirect the illumination provided by the strobe tube 56. A comb filter portion 64 of the U-shaped channel member 60 extends toward the planar reflector 62 to disperse a portion of the redirected illumination and provide a uniform distribution of indirect illumination.
As shown in FIG. 2, the reflected data card image produced by the data card illumination arrangement of the present invention is initially directed along a horizontal optical axis into a reflector unit 66. The unit 66 supports a planar reflector 68 at an angle selected to direct the data card image along a substantially vertical optical axis. The vertically directed data card image passes through a lens barrel 70 and a polarizer 72 to an upper planar reflector 74 which redirects the reflected data card image to a substantially horizontal path so as to expose the film unit. At this point it should be noted that the strobe tubes 50 and 58 are simultaneously energized through conventional circuit elements (not shown) to produce the data card illumination depicted in FIG. 2.
The reflector unit 66 has a forwarded facing rectangular opening defined by four planar extensions 76, 78, 80 and 82. These extensions are dimensioned so as to limit the illumination transmitted to the planar reflector 68 to that which is reflected from the surface of the data card. As shown in FIG. 2, the extensions 76 and 80 block any direct illumination from the strobe tubes 58 and 50, respectively.
In the illustrated embodiment, the housing 16 encloses an internal component support structure 88 separated into upper and lower compartments 90 and 92, respectively, near the lens barrel 70. The upper compartment 90 has a forwardly directed opening 94 which receives an objective lens support structure 96 and a rear opening 98 which allows for transmittance of either the data card image or the subject portrait image to the focal plane 40. The lower data card illumination compartment 92 has an upper surface defined in large part by a lens barrel support formation 100 and a lower surface defined by a lower wall 102. The lower compartment 92 both encloses and supports the present data card illumination arrangement and the reflector unit 66. The lower chamber 92 has a front wall 104 which includes a rectangular data card illumination opening 106 and upper and lower illumination assembly support formations 108 and 110. Each of the support formations 108 and 110 includes planar extensions for facilitating proper positioning and attachment of the channel members 52 and 60 of the illumination assemblies 44 and 46, respectively.
The planar reflectors 54 and 62 are fixed at the appropriate angles necessary to provide indirect illumination of the entire data frame of the data card 36. By using the planar reflectors 54 and 62 to provide a folded light path from each of the strobe tubes 50 and 58 to the data card 36, the light impinging upon the data card 36 is spread across the surface of the card as though it had emanated from illumination sources located at the points marked A and B (FIG. 2). Thus, by employing the planar reflectors 54 and 62, the illumination assemblies 44 and 46 provide illumination of the data card without requiring the vertical dimension of the lower chamber 92 to be much more than the height of the data card.
With particular reference to FIG. 3, the present illumination arrangement and the reflector unit 66 are shown in a position as though the camera system 10 of FIG. 2 had been laid on its back. Each of the comb filter portions 56 and 64 of the channel members 52 and 60, respectively, is made up of a set of like dimensioned triangular comb teeth 112 separated by equal spaces and a second smaller set of triangular comb teeth 114 positioned to lie between the teeth 112 near the center of the comb filter. Because the strobe tubes 50 and 58 are discharge type illumination elements, they produce more intense illumination near the center than at each end. Thus, the comb teeth 114 are placed between the teeth 112 near the center of each of the comb filters to provide a denser comb pattern which will compensate for the uneven illumination produced by the strobe tubes.
As shown in the illustrated embodiment of FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the first set of teeth 112 are formed in one edge of each of the channel members 52 and 60, respectively. The second set of teeth 114 are fixedly attached to the inner surface of each of the channel members 52 and 60, respectively, by, for example, an adhesive.
Although only a single side mirror 48 appears in FIGS. 2-4, the present data card illumination arrangement includes a side reflector 48 at each end of the illumination assemblies 44 and 46. Each of the illumination assemblies 44 and 46 is of a length corresponding to the width of the opening 106, for example, 5 inches. As shown schematically in FIG. 4, the reflector element 54 is mounted to be parallel to the strobe tube 50 while the side reflector 48 is mounted to be perpendicular to the strobe tube 50. A data frame 116 of the data card 36 is shown to be separated into upper and lower halves by a center line C. Exemplary light rays D and E delineate the extent to which illumination of the data frame is affected by the comb filter 56.
More particularly, light ray D which emanates from the flash tube 50 at point F, is reflected by the planar reflector 54 at point G, passes over point H at the base of the first comb tooth 112, and strikes the upper edge of the data frame 116. Light ray E which emanates from the discharge tube 50 at point I is reflected by the planar reflector 54 at point J, passes over the point K at the end of the second comb tooth 112, and strikes the center line C of the data frame 116. The light ray D has to travel a shorter distance to reach the data card than the light ray E and as such strikes the data card with greater intensity. The comb teeth 112 are triangular in shape in order to progressively block more of the illumination the shorter the distance the illumination has to travel to reach the data card. In other words, the triangular comb teeth 112 block more of the illumination directed to the top edge of the data frame 116 than directed toward the center of the data frame 116. The comb teeth 112 do not block illumination from the strobe tube 50 which has to travel to the lower half of the data frame 116. In this manner, the triangular shape of the comb teeth 112 compensates for the difference in intensity of the illumination due to the various distances the illumination must travel before reaching the data card.
Although not shown in FIG. 4, the comb filter 64 acts in the same fashion as the comb filter 56, except that the comb filter 64 affects the illumination provided by the strobe tube 58 and directed at the lower half of the data frame 116. The channel members 52 and 60 and the comb filters 56 and 64 are formed of a reflective material such as aluminum. Because the teeth 112 and 114 are reflective, they serve to block some of the illumination without substantially diminishing the total amount of illumination provided by strong tubes. Thus, the illumination of the upper half of the data frame 116 is a mixture of high intensity illumination from strobe tube 50 and low intensity illumination from strobe tube 58. Likewise, the illumination of the lower half of the data frame 116 is a mixture of high intensity illumination from the strobe tube 58 and low intensity illumination from the strobe tube 50.
The regions 118 and 120 depicted in phantom lines in FIG. 4 correspond to hot spots which would be produced if the comb filters 56 and 64, respectively, did not include the comb teeth 114 in addition to the comb teeth 112. The regions 122 and 124 shown in phantom lines, represent areas of low illumination which would result if the side reflectors 48 were omitted. Each of the reflectors 48 is fixed at a slight angle, for example, 11° with respect to a plane normal to the data card 36. This tilt of the reflectors 48 causes the illumination reflected by the reflectors 48 to be directed at the sides of the data frame 116 as shown by the examplary light ray L. Thus, the reflected data frame image, which makes up the light image of the data frame to which the film is exposed, is formed of a mixture of the illumination from each of the strobe tubes 50 and 58 which is reflected by one of the planar reflectors 54 and 64, passes by the comb filters 56 and 64 and either strikes the data card directly or is reflected by one of the side reflectors 48 and then strikes the data card.
Thus, it will be appreciated that as a result of the present invention, a highly effective data card illumination arrangement for identification card camera systems is provided and by which the stated objectives, among others, are completely fulfilled. The data card illumination arrangement of the present invention provides for uniform indirect illumination of the entire data frame of the data card. This arrangement of strobe tubes, comb filters and reflectors eliminates hot spots and shadows and provides for an even illumination across the entire width of the data frame. As such, the present invention provides for a uniform flash exposure of the film resulting in a quality data card image. It is contemplated that modifications and/or changes may be made in the illustrated embodiment without departure from the invention. For example, while each of the comb filters are shown as being formed of two sets of teeth 112 and 114 in the illustrated embodiment, unitary comb filters incorporating both the teeth 112 and 114 are contemplated.
Further, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description and accompanying drawings that additional modifications and/or changes may be made, again without departure from the invention. Accordingly, it is expressly intended that the foregoing description and accompanying drawings are illustrative of the preferred embodiment only, not limiting, and that the true spirit and scope of the preset invention be determined by reference to the appended claims.

By "in check", I mean stopping them running amok with the ban-hammer and doing crazy things they might regret later.

1 review “Awesome fun...even for people afraid of heights!"”
My husband and I booked an evening tour, hoping I would be less afraid if I couldn't see how high we were. I was terrified up until the first jump. The staff was amazing. The guides, Jaime and Chuck, were not only entertaining (making us laugh the whole time) but encouraging and warm when they needed to be. It was a great time and I would recommend this to anyone. In our group, there was an experienced zipper (not sure the technical term) who had been in much higher tours in other states who still had a smile on his face the entire time.

2 reviews “This is a great attraction and very exciting”
I really enjoyed this zipline. You get to zip 9 times on different cables. You can see down town Gatlinburg and the Space needle. It is a great family adventure and i found it to be the best priced any where in a 500 mile radius. My kids did enjoy it but i found it to be a thrill and we adults need thrills. I saw a bear and meet gret people. My picture was being taken by thir staff ans i bought a CD with tons of pictures on it. Gatlinburg Zipline will have me as a repeat coustomer. Thanks Gatlinburg for the new attraction, i was tired of the 5 and dime stores. Gee Gee from Tennessee

65 helpful votes “Not for thrill seekers...”
...maybe for small kids. I am not a thrill seeker myself and this was very boring. The staff/guides were SUPER nice but for the money you have to pay...the lines are just not worth it...they are too low, pretty slow and just not exciting. I feel bad for the folks who think they are gonna get a thrill because they will be very disappointed. This should be MAYBE a $10-20 attraction.
