Trump Calls Out “his boy”.
Donald Trump called out “my African-American over here” during a rally in Redding, California Friday, pointing to a supporter in the crowd.
The presumptive GOP nominee went on to tell the story of another African American supporter at a rally last month that had “coldcocked” supporters in white Ku Klux Klan robes.
The incident is just the latest in a long line of racially-charged comments from the billionaire.
Earlier Friday, Trump spoke with CNN about the judge presiding over the Trump University lawsuit in San Diego.

A system and method for determining a location. The system employs encoded information devices dispersed through the environment, each having a non-unique code associated therewith. The codes from the encoded information devices are acquired as a reading device passes nearby, and stored. The codes from a proximate set of information devices are correlated with a map or mapping relation to determine one or more consistent positions within the environment. The information devices are preferably passive acoustic wave transponders, and the mapping relation may be a pseudorandom sequence or a defined map.
The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/248,023, filed Feb. 10, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,259,991.
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for determining a location within an environment, and more particularly to a system which derives information from a plurality of passive devices, each having a predetermined location and communicating insufficient information to define the predetermined location.
A known radio frequency passive acoustic transponder system provides a radio-frequency surface acoustic wave on a piezoelectric substrate which interacts with elements on the substrate to produce an individualized complex waveform response to an interrogation signal. The code space for these devices may be, for example, 216 codes, or more, allowing a large number of transponders to be produced without code reuse. These devices consist of a piezoelectric substrate on which a metallized conductor pattern is formed, for example by a typical microphotolithography process, with a minimum feature size of, for example, one micron, and appropriate antennas and mechanical enclosures. The acoustic wave mode is often a surface acoustic wave (e.g., a Rayleigh wave), although acoustic wave devices operating with different wave types are known.
The known transponder devices thus include a surface acoustic wave device, in which an identification code is presented as a characteristic time-domain delay pattern in signal retransmitted from the transponder. Typical systems generally require that the signal emitted from an exciting antenna be non-stationary with respect to a signal received from the tag. This ensures that the reflected signal pattern is easily distinguished from the emitted signal during the entire duration of the retransmitted signal return, representing a plurality of internal states of the transponder, allowing analysis of the various delay components within the device.
In such a device, received RF energy is transduced onto a piezoelectric substrate as an acoustic wave with a first interdigital electrode system, from whence it travels through the substrate, interacting with reflector, delay or resonant/frequency selective elements in the path of the acoustic wave, resulting in specific known electro-acoustic interactions. A portion of the acoustic wave energy is ultimately received an interdigital electrode system and retransmitted. The retransmitted signal thus represents a complex delay and attenuation pattern function of the emitted signal, and a receiver is provided which analyzes the delay and perturbation pattern to characterize the system which produced it; thus identifying the device.
These devices do not require a semiconductor memory nor external electrical energy storage system, e.g., battery or capacitor, to operate. The propagation velocity of an acoustic wave in such a surface acoustic wave device is slow as compared to the free space propagation velocity of a radio wave. Thus, the time for transmission between the radio frequency interrogation system and the transponder is typically short as compared to the acoustic delay intrinsic to the device, so that an allowable rate of the interrogation frequency change is based on the delay characteristics within the transponder. The interrogation frequency is controlled to change by a sufficient amount so that the shortest possible delay path of a return signal may be distinguished from the simultaneous interrogation frequency, and so that all of the relevant delays are unambiguously received for analysis. Further, the interrogation frequency should not return to the same frequency before a maximum delay period, thus preventing ambiguity or aliasing. Generally, such systems are interrogated with a pulse transmitter or chirp frequency system.
Systems for interrogating a passive transponder employing acoustic wave devices, carrying amplitude and/or phase-encoded information are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,059,831; 4,484,160; 4,604,623; 4,605,929; 4,620,191; 4,623,890; 4,625,207; 4,625,208; 4,703,327; 4,724,443; 4,725,841; 4,734,698; 4,737,789; 4,737,790; 4,951,057; 5,095,240; and 5,182,570, expressly incorporated herein by reference. Other passive interrogator label systems are disclosed in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,273,146; 3,706,094; 3,755,803; and 4,058,217.
In its simplest form, the acoustic transponder systems disclosed in these patents include a radio frequency transmitter capable of transmitting RF pulses of electromagnetic energy. These pulses are received at the antenna of a passive transponder and applied to a piezoelectric “launch” transducer adapted to convert the electrical energy received from the antenna into acoustic wave energy in the piezoelectric material. Upon receipt of an electrical signal corresponding to the RF interrogation wave, an acoustic wave is generated within the piezoelectric material and transmitted along a defined acoustic path. This acoustic wave may be modified along its path, such as by reflection, attenuation, variable delay (phase shift), and interaction with other transducers or resonators.
When an acoustic wave pulse is reconverted into an electrical signal, it is supplied to an antenna on the transponder and transmitted as RF electromagnetic energy. The signal may be reflected back along its incident path, and thus a single antenna and transducer may be provided, for both receiving and emitting Radio Frequency energy. This energy is received at a receiver and decoder, typically at or near the same location as the interrogating transmitter, and the information contained in this response to an interrogation signal is decoded. Designs are known, with unitary and separate receiving and transmitting antennas, which may be at the same frequency or harmonically related, and having the same or different polarization.
In systems of this general type, the information code associated with and which identifies the passive transponder is built into the transponder at the time that the metallization pattern is finally defined on the substrate of piezoelectric material. This metallization also typically defines the antenna coupling, launch transducers, acoustic pathways and information code elements, e.g., reflectors. Thus, the information code in this case is non-volatile and permanent. The information is present in the return signal as a set of characteristic perturbations of the interrogation signal, such as a specific complex delay pattern and attenuation characteristics. In the case of a transponder tag having launch transducers and a variable pattern of reflective elements, the number of possible codes is N×2M where N is the number of acoustic waves launched by the transducers (path multiplicity) and M is the number of reflective element positions for each transducer (codespace complexity). Thus, with four launch transducers each emitting two acoustic waves (forward and backward) (N=8), and a potential set of eight (M=8) variable reflective elements in each acoustic path, the number of differently coded transducers is 2048. Therefore, for a large number of potential codes, it is necessary to provide a large number of launch transducers and/or a large number of reflective elements. However, efficiency is lost with increasing complexity, and a large number of distinct acoustic waves reduces the signal strength of the signal encoding the information in each. Therefore, the transponder design is a tradeoff between device codespace complexity and efficiency.
Typically, the sets of reflective elements in each path form a group, having a composite transfer function, while each group, representing different acoustic paths, has a different characteristic timing, allowing the various group responses to be distinguished.
The transponder tag thus typically includes a multiplicity of “signal conditioning elements”, i.e., delay elements, reflectors, and/or amplitude modulators, which are coupled to receive the first signal from a transponder antenna. Each signal conditioning element provides an intermediate signal having a known delay and a known amplitude modification to the acoustic wave interacting with it. Even where the signal is split into multiple portions, it is advantageous to reradiate the signal through a single antenna. Therefore, a single “signal combining element” coupled to the all of the acoustic waves, which have interacted with the signal conditioning elements, is provided for combining the intermediate signals to produce the radiated transponder signal. The radiated signal is thus a complex composite of all of the signal modifications, which may occur within the transponder, of the interrogation wave.
In known passive acoustic transponder systems, the transponder remains static over time, so that the encoded information is retrieved by a single interrogation cycle, representing the state of the tag, or more typically, obtained as an inherent temporal signature of an emitted signal due to internal time delays. In order to determine a transfer function of a passive transponder device, the interrogation cycle may include measurements of excitation of the transponder at a number of different frequencies. This technique allows a frequency domain analysis, rather than a time domain analysis of an impulse response of the transponder. Essentially, the composite response of M signal conditioning elements within the transponder tag are evaluated at at least M different frequencies, allowing characterization of the group of elements. Displaced in time from each other, N groups of elements may be analyzed during the same interrogation sequence.
Typically, the interrogator transmits a first signal having a first frequency that successively assumes a plurality of frequency values within a prescribed frequency range. This first frequency may, for example, be in the range of 905-925 MHz, referred to herein as the nominal 915 MHz band, a frequency band that is commonly available for such use. The response of the tag to excitation varies with frequency, due to the fixed time delays and attenuation. In some known systems, the excitation frequency changes over time, so that the retransmitted response, due to the acoustic propagation delay of the tag, is at a different frequency than the simultaneously emitted signal, thus providing a retransmitted signal removed slightly from the emitted signal, so that when cross-modulated, the resulting signal is near baseband, but not DC.
Preferably, the passive acoustic wave transponder tag includes at least one element having predetermined characteristics, which assist in synchronizing the receiver and allows for temperature compensation of the system. As the temperature changes, the piezoelectric substrate may expand and contract, altering the characteristic delays and other parameters of the tag. Variations in the transponder response due to changes in temperature thus result, in part, from the thermal expansion of the substrate material. Although propagation distances are small, an increase in temperature of only 20° C. can produce an increase in propagation time by the period of one entire cycle at a transponder frequency of about 915 MHz; correspondingly, a change of about 1° C. results in a relative phase change of about 18°. The potential range of variation in an uncontrolled environment therefore requires an internal temperature reference/compensation mechanism.
This known sequential frequency excitation (chirp) interrogation surface acoustic wave transponder system provides a number of advantages, including high signal-to-noise performance, and the fact that the output of the signal mixer at the interrogator receiver—namely, the signal which contains the difference frequencies of the interrogating chirp signal and the transponder reply signal—may be transmitted over inexpensive, shielded, twisted-pair wires because these frequencies are, for example, typically in the audio range. Furthermore, since the audio signal is not greatly attenuated or dispersed when transmitted over long distances, the signal processor may be located at a position quite remote from the signal mixer, or provided as a central processing site for multiple interrogator antennae.
Passive transponder encoding schemes include selective modification of interrogation signal transfer function H(s) and delay functions f(z). These functions therefore typically generate a return signal in the same band as the interrogation signal. Since the return signal is typically mixed with the interrogation signal, the difference between the two will generally define the information signal for analysis, along with possible interference and noise. By controlling the rate of change of the interrogation signal frequency with respect to a maximum round trip propagation delay, including internal delay, as well as possible Doppler shift, the maximum bandwidth of the demodulated signal may be controlled. Thus, the known systems employ a chirp interrogation waveform which allows a relatively simple processing of limited bandwidth transponder signals.
Known surface acoustic wave passive interrogator label systems, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,734,698; 4,737,790; 4,703,327; and 4,951,057, include an interrogator comprising a voltage controlled oscillator which produces a first signal at a radio frequency determined by a control voltage supplied by a control unit. This signal is amplified by a power amplifier and applied to an antenna for transmission to a transponder. The voltage controlled oscillator may be replaced with other oscillator types.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the signal S1 is received at the antenna 24 of the transponder 20 and split into a number of subsignals IN by combiner 42. The subsignals are each subject to a different signal modification element AN(f), TN(f) 40, and returned to the combiner 42. Each signal modification element 40 converts a portion of the first (interrogation) signal S1 into a second (reply) signal S2, encoded with an information pattern. The signal conditioning elements 40 are selectively provided to impart a different response code for different transponders, and which may involve separate intermediate signals I0, I1 . . . IN within the transponder. Each signal conditioning element 40 comprises a known delay Ti and a known amplitude modification Ai (either attenuation or amplification). The respective delay Ti and amplitude modification Ai may be functions of the frequency of the received signal S1, constant independent of frequency, or have differing dependency on frequency. The order of the delay and amplitude modification elements may be reversed; that is, the amplitude modification elements Ai may precede the delay elements Ti. Amplitude modification Ai can also occur within the path Ti. The modified signals are combined in combining element 42 which combines these intermediate signals (e.g., by addition, multiplication or the like) to form the reply signal S2 and the combined signal emitted by the antenna 18.
The information pattern is thus encoded as a series of elements having characteristic delay periods T0 and ΔT1, ΔT2, . . . ΔTN. Two common types of encoding systems exist. In a first, the delay periods correspond to physical delays in the propagation of the acoustic signal. After passing each successive delay, a portion of the signal I0, I1, I2 . . . IN is tapped off and supplied to a summing element. The resulting signal S2, which is the sum of the intermediate signals I0 . . . IN, is fed back to a transponder tag antenna, which may be the same or different than the antenna which received the interrogation signal, for transmission to the interrogator/receiver antenna. In a second system, the delay periods correspond to the positions of reflective elements, which reflect portions of the acoustic wave back to the launch transducer, where they are converted back to an electrical signal and emitted by the transponder tag antenna. The signal is passed either to the same antenna or to a different antenna for transmission back to the interrogator/receiver apparatus. The second signal carries encoded information which, at a minimum, serves to identify the particular transponder. The modified transponder (second) signal is picked up by antenna 56, as shown in FIG. 7. Both this second signal and the first signal (or respective signals derived from these two signals) are applied to a mixer 68 (four quadrant multiplier) to produce a third signal S3 containing frequencies which include both the sums and the differences of the frequencies contained in the signals S1 and S2. The signal S3 is passed to a signal processor 102 which determines the amplitude ai and the respective phase φi; of each frequency component fi among a set of frequency components (f0, f1, f2 . . . ) in the signal S3. Each phase φi is determined with respect to the phase φ0=0 of the lowest frequency component fo. The signal S2 may be intermittently supplied to the mixer by means of a switch (not shown), and indeed the signal processor may be time-division multiplexed to handle a plurality of S2 signals from different antennas 56.
The information determined by the signal processor 102 is passed to a computer system comprising, among other elements, a random access memory (RAM) 104 and a microprocessor 106. This computer system analyzes the frequency, amplitude and phase information of the demodulated signal and makes decisions based upon this information. For example, the computer system may determine the identification number of the interrogated transponder 20. This I.D. number and/or other decoded information is made available at an output 107 to host computer 108.
In one known interrogation system embodiment, the voltage controlled oscillator 72 is controlled to produce a sinusoidal RF signal with a frequency that is swept in 128 equal discrete steps from 905 MHz to 925 MHz. Each frequency step is maintained for a period of 125 microseconds so that the entire frequency sweep is carried out in 16 milliseconds. Thereafter, the frequency is dropped back to 905 MHz in a relaxation period of 0.67 milliseconds. The stepwise frequency sweep 46 shown in FIG. 3B thus approximates the linear sweep 44 shown in FIG. 3A.
Assuming that the stepwise frequency sweep 44 approximates an average, linear frequency sweep or “chirp” 47, FIG. 3B illustrates how the transponder 20, with its known, discrete time delays T0, T1 . . . TN, produces the second (reply) signal S2 with distinct differences in frequency from the first (interrogation) signal S1. Assuming a round-trip, radiation transmission time of to, the total round-trip times between the moment of transmission of the first signal and the moments of reply of the second signal will be t0+T0, t0+T1, . . . t0+TN, for the delays T0N, T . . . , T1, respectively. Considering only the transponder delay TN, at the time tR, when the second (reply) signal is received at the antenna 56, the frequency 48 of this second signal will be ΔfN less than the instantaneous frequency 47 of the first signal S1 transmitted by the antenna 56. Thus, if the first and second signals are mixed or “homodyned”, this frequency difference ΔfN will appear in the third signal S3 as a beat frequency. Understandably, other beat frequencies will also result from the other delayed frequency spectra 49 resulting from the time delays T0, T1 . . . TN−1. Thus, in the case of a “chirp” waveform, the difference between the emitted and received waveform will generally be constant.
In mathematical terms, we assume that the phase of a transmitted interrogation signal is φ=2πfτ, where τ is the round-trip transmission time delay. For a ramped frequency df/dt or f, we have: 2πfτ=dφ/dt=ω. ω, the beat frequency, is thus determined by τ for a given ramped frequency or chirp f. In this case, the signal S3 may be analyzed by determining a frequency content of the S3 signal, for example by applying it to sixteen bandpass filters (of any implementation), each tuned to a different frequency, f0, f1. . . fE, fF. The signal processor 102 determines the amplitude and phase of the signals that pass through these respective filters. These amplitudes and phases contain the code or “signature” of the particular signal transformer 40 of the interrogated transponder 20. This signature may be analyzed and decoded in known manner.
The ranges of amplitudes which are expected in the individual components of the second signal S2 associated with the respective pathways or tap delays 0-F may be predicted. The greatest signal amplitudes will be received from pathways having reflectors in their front rows; namely, pathways 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, C and D. The signals received from the pathways having reflectors in their back rows are somewhat attenuated due to reflections and interference by the front row reflectors. If any one of the amplitudes ai at one of the sixteen frequencies fi in the third signal S3 falls outside its prescribed or predicted range, as shown in FIG. 5, the decoded identification number for that transponder is rejected.
As indicated above, acoustic transponders are susceptible to so-called “manufacturing” variations, due to intertransponder differences, as well as temperature variations in response due to variations in ambient temperature. This is particularly the case where small differences in tap delays, on the order of one SAW cycle period, are measured to determine the encoded transponder identification number. These manufacturing and/or temperature variations can, in this case, be in the same order of magnitude as the encoded informational signal.
As explained above, the transponder identification number contained in the second (reply) signal is determined, for example, by the presence or absence of delay pads in the respective SAW pathways. These delay pads make a slight adjustment to the propagation time in each pathway, thereby determining the phase of the surface acoustic wave at the instant of its reconversion into electrical energy at the end of its pathway. Accordingly, a fixed code (phase) is imparted to at least two pathways in the SAW device, and the propagation times for these pathways are used as a standard for the propagation times of all other pathways. Likewise, in a reflector-based acoustic device, a reflector may be provided at a predetermined location to produce a reference signal.
The entire process of compensation is illustrated in the flow chart of FIG. 6. As is indicated there, the first step is to calculate the amplitude ai and phase φi for each audio frequency fi (block 180). Thereafter, the sixteen amplitudes are compared against their acceptable limits (block 182). These limits may be different for each amplitude. If one or more amplitudes fall outside the acceptable limits, the transponder reading is immediately rejected. If the amplitudes are acceptable, the phase differences φij are calculated (block 184) and the temperature compensation calculation is performed to determine the best value for ΔT (block 186). Thereafter, the offset compensation calculation is performed (block 188) and the phases for the pathways 2, 3, 6, 7, A, B and E are adjusted. Finally, an attempt is made to place each of the pre-encoded phases into one of the four phase bins (block 190). If all such phases fall within a bin, the transponder identification number is determined; if not, the transponder reading is rejected.
There are a number of other passive remotely readable information bearing devices, such as bar codes, color codes, other types of radio frequency devices, and the like.
Known wireless communications systems include various cellular standards (IS-41, IS-95, IS-136, etc.) as well as so-called PCS standards and data-only standards, including Cellular Packet Data Protocol (CPDP). The Metricom “Ricochet” system provides a frequency hopping 915 MHz spread spectrum wireless local data access system. These communications standards, due to their extensive infrastructure, allow a large number of simultaneous users to communicate over separate communications channels within a relatively small band without substantial mutual interference. Therefore, communications channels may be appropriated for near real time communications needs, such as voice and navigational data.
According to the present invention, a plurality of passive remotely interrogable information devices are provided dispersed through an environment. A stored or synthesized map relates a set of identification codes of proximate information devices with a specific location within the environment. The information devices do not necessarily each have sufficient information storage (or transmission) capacity to uniquely define a location. However, the information contained in a proximate group of information devices together carry sufficient information. In obtaining the information contained in the group of information devices, this may be obtained simultaneously, but preferably it is obtained sequentially, with a record kept of the relative positions of each information device. Thus, the set of locations and information contents are used to search a more global map or mapping function to determine an absolute location.
Where the environment includes a set of predefined paths, e.g., roads or isles, the map may be a set of topologically interconnected one dimensional strings of code sequences. Where the locations are not limited by predefined paths, and the receiver is free to roam, the map includes a two-dimensional array of codes.
The information devices may be randomly dispersed, and thus the sequence of codes is random, such that it is unlikely that a number of devices, e.g., 5 sequential information devices along any path, would be repeated along any other path, and less likely that 10 sequential along any path would be repeated. Thus, for limited environments, information codes from, e.g., 5 or 10 sequential devices would uniquely define a location of the interrogator. Once a global location within the environment is determined, incremental movements within the environment are more easily tracked, so that often only a single additional information device must be read in order to determine the change in location, within the granularity of the spacing of information devices. Thus, relatively simple information devices and receiver devices may be used to accurately define a location.
The information devices are distributed to avoid close proximity of indistinguishable codes, and to avoid regular or repeating patterns. Thus, the distribution of information devices must be (a) random; (b) pseudorandom, or (c) regular with no repetition along any path along any predefined path or two-dimensional surface. Thus, when distributing the encoded information devices, a sensor may be used to read an information device or tag before placement, seeking to ensure that it meets the requirements for efficient localization within the environment. The sensor may thus “veto” a selection of device which raises a probability of ambiguity. A predetermined mapping or mapping function may also be defined, thus specifying which information device codes are to be present at each location.
During arrangement and distribution of the information devices, preferably these are stored in bins or identified. It is therefore advantageous to provide a limited number of codes, for example less that 256 codes, and more preferably between 16 and 64 different codes.
Where the array of information devices is small, random placements may be effective. However, where the array is large, it may be advantageous to define a pseudorandom pattern of information devices throughout the environment with a pattern which does not repeat over the encompassed area, or which provides other positional cues to resolve an ambiguity due to repeated sequences. These pseudorandom sequences may be generated by relatively simple electronic devices, and used to control or suggest placement of devices. The advantage of a pseudorandom placement defined by a mathematical function is that the mapping function is defined by the compact mathematical function and therefore allows a relatively low memory capacity processor to determine location.
Where an identification code pattern follows a pseudorandom sequence, advantageously a pseudorandom pattern generator-based system may be used to determine the location by correlating a received sequence with potential paths through the one-dimensional or two-dimensional pseudorandom pattern space, as appropriate for the application, until matches are found. If additional data reveals an error, further searching is conducted until a correct placement is determined. After the position is correctly and unambiguously determined, each additional information device code allows a simple nearest-neighbor search within the map to determine the change in location. If ambiguity is detected (two possible locations), other cues may be used to determine location, such as distance (wheel revolution sensor), direction (steering direction, compass, inertial sensor), inertial presumptions, and the like.
While a regular pattern of identification codes may also be used, this technique may be less efficient at conveying information, according to known information theory, unless it gains the pseudorandom presentation, in which case it potentially remains less efficient because it lacks a simple mathematical descriptive function.
The system according to the present invention has a number of advantages over, and differences with respect to other geopositioning systems, such as GPS, differential GPS, GLONASS, etc., in that submeter accuracy is easily obtained, jamming is possible only from nearby systems, it can provide nearly instantaneous lock-on, is subject to no shadowing from urban structures, and has low cost. Further, the system according to the present invention may be integrated into other systems, providing further cost savings due to common processing elements, input and output, power supply and/or packaging. Therefore, the system according to the present invention may be used in conjunction with such other systems to provide a coarse and fine positioning accuracy. Thus, a geopositioning system (e.g., GPS), dead reckoning, inertial guidance, or other type of system may be used to define a coarse position, initial starting position or consistency check. Further, an initial position may be input manually. This position may be used as an input into the positioning system according to the present invention to provide a starting point for a search of the database to find the location of the interrogator. Thus, where the positional ambiguity is substantial over a large database, the initial position may be defined to allow useful operation without requiring a very large number of transponders to be read or a protracted search and analysis of the database to find a consistent position. Thus, a commercial GPS system may provide a positioning accuracy of ±100 meters. This GPS-derived position, which is insufficiently accurate to define a highway lane or exit location, may then be used to define a coarse position, facilitating initial localization using the transponder encoding method. Thereafter, the fine position and changes in position are tracked using primarily the transponders, assuming they are closely spaced. If they are not closely spaced, then another system may be used to define the location, with the transponder locations used to define differential corrections. In the event that the various localization systems produce inconsistent location information, then an error checking routine may be initiated to identify the source and effect of the error. Once completed, the system may recalibrate according to the defined conditions, or alert the user.
It is noted that, according to the present invention, transponders need not be evenly or regularly spaced through the environment, and therefore regions of low density and high density may exist. As stated above, the strategy for use of low and high density transponder codes may differ. Further, in the case of low density transponder environments, it may be desired to provide a greater encoding capability per transponder. Thus, in a low density environment, a transponder may completely and unambiguously define its position, while in a high density environment, lower encoding capability transponders may be employed. Likewise, in a high transponder density environment, transponders of small and great encoding capabilities may be interspersed.
Since the environment of operation may be uncontrolled, and the stored maps and distribution of transponders subject to change and mishap, it is preferred that the system according to the present invention operate according to an algorithm which is tolerant of interference, misreads, false reads, and non-correspondences between the stored map and environmental distribution of transponders. Thus, an error tolerant system is preferably provided. One way to provide such tolerance is to provide an algorithm which, instead of seeking an exact match between a string of codes, compares the actual code string received from the transponders with the stored map, to determine a correlation, which is considered to indicate a correspondence if it exceeds a certain threshold. While this may increase the potential degree of ambiguity, this can be compensated by correlating longer strings. Statistical processing of the data may be used to increase confidence in a reading to a transponder code, and processing of the RF signal may be used to identify and characterize interference. However, damage to, movement of, or replacement of transponders would remain as issues. Such error tolerant processing is preferably used in conjunction with secondary localization schemes, as discussed above.
The system according to the present invention may employ an acoustic RF transponder having a code space of 23-28 for each device, allowing use of a small device with lower precision than required of a device having a larger code space. Further, with a small number of codes, the requirement of secondary processing of a received signal to define “low order” codes is eliminated. Thus, the required electronics are simpler and of lower required precision.
The system according to the present invention relies on a memory, for example an EEPROM memory, which includes sufficient information, either a map or a mapping function, to correlate the particular identifying code of an information device with its location. A sequence of codes, and preferably their relative sequence or locations, is correlated with the stored map or expanded mapping equation to determine possible locations which meet the received sequence. As the number of codes received increases, the number of possible locations decreases, unless there is an ambiguity in the map. Mathematical analysis of potential mapping functions and static maps may be used to eliminate such ambiguities. In the case of a truly random placement of tags, such ambiguities remain possible. Eventually, any ambiguity will (hopefully) disappear or be small. Further, other cues or presumptions may be applied to help determine location, such as a presumption of continuity in space, inertia, and models of activity, such as “travel to left of markers”.
In order to accommodate errors in the placement of tags, and/or errors in reading tags, a fault tolerant design is employed. For example, errors may be due to erroneous placement or replacement, or missing or defective tags. In this case, a memory “overlay” may be provided to correct the system output. The memory may be updated adaptively, as necessary and/or the system correlated with landmarks at known locations. Thus, if a device is randomly replaced with another device with a different code, the error would become apparent after traversing a few more markers, and the correction memory updated to reflect the change. If a tag is erroneously read, the memory overlay may be corrupted, but the location would nevertheless be determined after reading a few more tags.
Thus, in addition to the mapping system, a statistical process is implemented to assure stabile operation and location determination even under noisy conditions. One way to achieve this is to provide that the environment be dotted with a greater number of tags than minimally necessary for the application, providing redundant information in the scheme, and therefore providing error tolerance.
A number of methods are available for determining a location based on a set of identification codes. In a first embodiment, a memory architecture provides an address space in which the row and column addresses have some correspondence to positional coordinates. When a first identification code is received, the memory is searched and all instances of the occurrence of that code in the memory are identified. When the second code is received, the memory is searched, with emphasis on those occurrences of the second code proximate to the first code. Likewise, when subsequent codes are received, the search is narrowed to clusters containing a path through the sequence of codes. When the position is unambiguously determined, further relative position changes may be tracked by restricting the search to locations nearby the last confirmed location. In a case where a new identification code fails a consistency check, i.e., where a change in distance from the last position is unreasonable, or other positions of intervening identification codes are skipped, the update of position may be suppressed until further position information is received, confirming or refuting a putative position. The output position in this case may represent an intelligent prediction of the position based on other data. If the inconsistency is persistent, then the memory system may be updated to reflect the actual circumstances.
In another embodiment, the position information and identification codes are stored in a memory, indexed by identification code. Therefore, with the identification code as an input, the matching locations are returned. The matching locations of a sequence of identification codes are analyzed to determine a probable path, by determining a cluster location consistent with the received data, and then determining the consistent path.
In a third embodiment, pairs of identification codes representing adjacent positions are stored in memory. When two identification codes are received, the pair forms an address, which is retrieved from the memory. The memory, in turn, stores a pointer to a set of consistent locations. This set will be geometrically smaller than a set of single identification code consistent positions. When a new identification code is received, a new set corresponding to the updated pair is accessed. Based on the old position, a threshold window is determined, and used to screen the new set. Where multiple positions match the window, reference may be made to data representing a larger number of old identification codes, which are used to further screen the location. In this case, the threshold window for older data must be enlarged, to account for possible position changes of the detector. Assuming a random distribution of identification codes, after sensing of a number of identification codes, the positional determination may become unambiguous. After an unambiguous determination of position, subsequent position may be determined by predicting a path and updating the prediction based on received data.
In the case of a pseudorandom mapping equation, the locations of encoded tags are prescribed by a formula. This formula may then be evaluated to provide a complete map. The advantage of this system is that complete maps are not necessary. The simplest way to use this system is to evaluate portions of the mapping equation and storing this in a small memory buffer. The buffer is then searched to determine a correspondence with available data. When a high degree of correspondence is determined, a putative location is output. Additional tag code data is evaluated, and if consistent with the buffered portion of the decoded map, the determined location is output. On the other hand, if it is inconsistent, the mapping function space is further searched for potential consistent locations. It is noted that all possible consistent locations may be identified. It is also noted that the initial search time may be considerable, especially with a low-end microprocessor and a large mapping space; however, with relatively small mapping spaces and/or after initial localization (the initial location may be input extrinsically), even a low computing power system would be able to quickly update a position.
Other types of data analyses are also possible.
In one system, for example, each information device holds 28 bits of information, i.e., there are 256 different codes. An environment is seeded with information devices every 12 feet, over an area of 1 square mile. Thus, about 193,000 dots are provided. Assuming a balanced number of each code, there will be approximately 756 dots of each type. However, where codes are paired, there will be only about 3 similar pairs. Using one additional code or other information, the position may generally be unambiguously determined, thus, under these circumstances, two codes, or a movement distance of about 24 feet, allows a trifold ambiguity, while a movement of about 36 feet allows unambiguous localization.
The system according to the present invention may be used, for example, to provide location information for vehicles on a highway, for intelligent warehouses, and other applications. Because the resolution is limited only by the type of transponder and quality of receiver, it is possible to reasonably obtain resolutions of less than about 0.5 meter for RF transponders, and less than about 1 cm for optical transponders, even over very large distances. Precision is limited primarily by the initial mapping of the locations of the encoded devices. Thus, the system according to the present invention is usable in many circumstances where radio-location systems, such as GPS are not. In addition, the information device transponders may be made efficiently and cheaply, due to the limited range and codespace, while the receiver complexity resides primarily in the ambiguity resolution analysis, easily handled by presently available microprocessors and/or digital signal processors, or application specific integrated circuits (ASIC). Thus, while the initial determination of a location based on a set of relatively small codes, and optionally a path prediction, may require significant analysis, this analysis is not beyond the capability of available systems.
The analyzer may combine a number of strategies to achieve a most efficient result; however, the minimum required response time for the most difficult analysis will determine the processing capabilities required, and thus increased efficiency gained through choosing a best strategy may not produce a significantly better or noticeably faster result. On the other hand, under circumstances where the processor has excess processing capacity, advanced statistical analysis, interpolation and consistency checking of data may easily be implemented.
The receiver for a radio frequency transponder system operates as follows. An interrogation signal is emitted, which may be a pulse, continuous wave, frequency chirp, frequency hopping spread spectrum carrier, direct sequence spread spectrum carrier, or the like. The interrogation signal interacts with a transponder, which modifies the interrogation signal and returns it to a receiver. The receiver analyzes the interrogation signal in known manner to determine the information code of the nearest transponder. More distant transponders and noise may be filtered using known techniques. Adjacent interrogation systems may be distinguished by time or frequency multiplexing techniques, or by spread spectrum techniques. Because of the limited codespace, however, the receiver has relaxed technical requirements as compared to receivers for larger codespace devices. The determined code, optionally along with other information which may help define a location, is passed to an analyzer, which then outputs a position, and optionally direction, velocity, acceleration, etc.
While a pseudorandom sequence of information devices provides efficiencies in storing a map, this method also poses the difficulties in maintenance of the physical system to correspond to the generating algorithm. For example, a missing information device would have to be replaced with an identical information device, or an exception generated. Further, great care must be taken when first implementing the system to assure a workable algorithm. Of course, in both a map and algorithm based system, an exception map may be provided, the use of an exception map reduces the advantages of an algorithm, and may grow large in size over time and may slow analysis. A map-based system may be adaptive (alterable), and thus might avoid the need for separately stored exceptions.
Where the information devices are established as regular fixtures of a highway, for example, then these may be incorporate as part of a guidance and control system of a vehicle, for example to prevent unintended swerving out of a lane, as part of an intelligent cruise control system, and as part of a geographical localization system.
While a preferred embodiment provides a radio frequency transponder system, optical systems may also be used, which may be encoded with colors, binary optical codes, or other optical indicia.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a localization system comprising an information device reader, a memory for storing mapping information, a memory for storing sets of proximate information device codes received by the reader, and a search engine for searching the stored mapping information for map regions consistent with the sets of proximate information codes.
It is also an object according to the present invention to provide a distributed set of information devices, each device having a non-unique code, said codes being distributed pseudorandomly or randomly through the environment space.
It is another object of the invention to provide a data storage medium containing a map or mapping function describing codes of a distributed set of information devices and relating an identification of a device with a position thereof.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a method for determining a location, comprising dispersing through an environment space a set of encoded information devices, each having a non-unique encoding, in a random or pseudorandom pattern; storing a mapping of codes for encoded information devices in conjunction with a location thereof in the environment space; receiving codes from a set of proximately disposed information devices; and searching the mapping to identify a location having consistent set of proximate information devices.
These and other objects will become apparent from a review of the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are time diagrams, drawn to different scales, of the radio frequencies contained in the interrogation and reply signals which interact with the transponder device according to FIG. 1.
FIG. 9C shows a variable density identification code distribution.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are designated with the same reference numerals.
An interrogation system according to the present invention is provided which employs a frequency hopping spread spectrum signal having a pseudorandom sequence which excites each of a set of approximately evenly spaced frequencies once during each repetition. The interrogation signal occupies a band of approximately 20 MHz centered at 915 MHz. The band is divided into 128 discrete frequencies, each of which is maintained for about 125 μS before hopping to a different frequency, which is preferably not an adjacent frequency. The interrogation signal is generated by a digitally controlled oscillator, including a phase locked loop with voltage controlled amplifier. The sequence is selected to evenly spread energy through the band, without concentrating the wave energy in a narrow range for an extended period, thus effectively obtaining the advantages of a frequency hopping spread spectrum communication system. Such sequences are known in the art, and may be generated based on a lookup table or pseudorandom sequence generator.
Known transponder devices typically employ 16 degrees of freedom in their code space, generated in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 1 by four bi-directional transducers, each wave having two sets of elements to interact with. Thus, the interrogator must resolve the 16 degrees of freedom in order to identify the transponder. In order to resolve these degrees of freedom, at least 16 distinct conditions must be applied to the transponder, producing a response which allows solution of the simultaneous equations. Since at least 16 conditions, in this case different frequencies, are required, the larger available number of available frequencies allows robustness to interference and increased accuracy.
According to the present invention, pseudo-uniqueness of transponder codes within the environmental space is not required. Therefore, a much simpler transponder implementation is possible. For example, FIG. 4 shows a transponder having a single bi-directional acoustic wave transducer with two groups of three delay pads and a reflector in each group, along each wave path. This allows, in addition to the compensation pads (which may not be necessary in a simplified system) four degrees of freedom for each of two paths, thus defining a codespace of 32.
A microprocessor 76 is provided to control the system, generating the control signals for the digitally controlled oscillator, which in the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, includes a Digital to Analog converter 78, low pass filter 80 and voltage controlled oscillator 72.
Since only 4 discrete excitation parameters, of the 128 available, are required for an output of the transponder code, the analysis may proceed on an incomplete data set. Further, because of thus flexibility, the frequency hopping sequence need not repeat or excite each frequency at the minimum rate, so long as the analyzer is provided with data identifying the specific excitation conditions.
The receiver system includes an antenna 56 and amplifier, which receives a modified interrogation (second) signal S2 from the transponder 20. In some embodiments, this second signal S2 may be normalized in amplitude by an automatic gain control or limiter, since the phase relationships within the signal encode useful information relating to the encoding. However, in many instances, the signal also carries useful information encoded in the amplitude, which would be lost in a limiter. Therefore, a phase-amplitude response analysis of the transponder signal is preferred. This phase-amplitude response thus encompasses amplitude variations, phase variations and/or amplitude and phase variations. The modified interrogation signal S2 is mixed in a demodulator with a representation of the interrogation signal S1. The demodulator is a double balanced mixer 68, operating at up to at least 1 GHz. The representation of the interrogation signal S1 may be the first signal S1 itself, as being simultaneously output, a delayed replica of the signal, or an independently generated signal. The purpose of this mixer 68 is to ultimately translate the frequency of the signal to baseband, to allow homodyne detection of the relative phase-amplitude response of the interrogation signal S1 represented in the transponder signal S2. Where the signals S1, S2 are in phase, the output S3 of the mixer 68 is maximal, and decreases as the respective phases reach quadrature, turning negative as the signals move completely out of phase. Due to the composite nature of the transponder signal S2, being the superposition of the modifications in each acoustic path in the transponder device 20, as each component of the wave is initially received after a frequency hop, the relative phase will change. After the transient response, due to the elements 40 within the signal path, has abated, the relative phase will be static until the next hop. The output of the mixer 68 is also related to the relative amplitude of the transponder signal S2.
An integrator 70, which may be implemented as a two pole R-C low pass filter, having both time-constants of about 10 μS, and a frequency cutoff of about 100 kHz, receives the output of the mixer 68, and thus produces a filtered output representing the relative phase for each excitation frequency. The filter output is sampled by a sample hold amplifier 100 after the transients have abated and the signal has settled, for example four to five time constants of the filter, e.g., 40-50 μS.
Of course, the filter 70 need not be so simple, and may, for example, include an active filter, digitally controlled integrator having a predetermined integration period, or other type.
The duration of each hop is longer than the longest delay in a transponder as well as the travel delay. Thus, where a maximum delay within a transponder is less than about 10 μS, a stationary frequency dwell period is greater than 10 μS; practically, this dwell period may be much greater than this minimum amount.
In the preferred embodiment, a single frequency is emitted as the interrogation signal at any time; however, a plurality of such frequencies may be emitted simultaneously or concurrently. In that case, the receiver system may include a multichannel decoder for selectively decoding each of the frequencies simultaneously (thus, for example, employing a plurality of mixers and integrators), or for selectively decoding one of the channels one at a time. If a digital signal processor is employed (rather than analog components), the processing power of the device will determine how much parallelism may be implemented.
The resulting low frequency signal S3, from homodyne demodulation of the interrogation signal with the transponder signal S2 at the same frequency, produces a signal with an amplitude related to the average phase-amplitude relation of the signals entering the mixer 68. This amplitude is determined, for example every 125 μS (8 kHz), with frequency hops occurring at this same rate. Because of the differences in the transponder signal S2 due the fixed nature of internal delays and the changing interrogation frequency, the phase-amplitude response at each frequency hop provides a datapoint for analyzing the various delays tN within the transponder 20.
In performing an analysis of the transponder signal S2, a number of compensations and corrections may be made. For example, the round trip signal delay may be normalized, yielding an estimate of distance by a time of arrival technique. Likewise, any Doppler shift in the signal may be determined and compensated, allowing an indication of relative speed. This later correction produces a relative frequency shift of the transponder signal S2 with respect to the interrogation signal S1. This frequency shift, however, is typically of a relatively low frequency, below the 8 kHz frequency hopping rate, and therefore introduces only small errors, which may be compensated in the analysis. Likewise, other potential causes for variations from the nominal delay periods of a transponder, including temperature changes, mask variations, manufacturing variations and random variations may also be compensated in the analysis, in known manner. Since the determined degrees of freedom correspond to delays, the correction scheme is essentially as shown in FIG. 6.
The relative phase-amplitude output from the integrator 70 is digitized and stored in memory 104. While FIG. 7 shows a separate signal processor 102 and microprocessor 106, it should be understood that the respective functions may be integrated in a single device. The delay coefficients of the transponder 20 are determined, which correspond to the degrees of freedom, and corrections and compensations applied as necessary. Consistency checking may be performed for each data point, based on the redundant information from the larger number of datapoints available than are minimally necessary, excluding from analysis those which are likely to represent artifacts or interference.
The analyzer thus evaluates a set of simultaneous equations relating the integrated phase-amplitude responses to the characteristic set of signal perturbations of the passive acoustic transponder 20, compensating the evaluated degrees of freedom for predetermined variances, evaluating each integrated phase-amplitude response for consistency with a set of remaining integrated phase-amplitude responses, and producing an output of the delay coefficients.
According to the present invention, the interrogator system is provided on a mobile platform, such as a vehicle. As shown in FIG. 8, a microprocessor 200 controls a vehicular guidance system. The microprocessor 200 executes a program defined in non-volatile memory 208, and temporarily stores information in volatile memory 206. The microprocessor receives navigational information from an inertial sensor 216, a directional sensor 218, a wheel rotation sensor 220, a GPS subsystem 222 and a compass 224. The microprocessor 200 also interfaces with an input/output system 214, providing a human interface and integration with other electronic systems.
In an alternate embodiment, the database which stores the mapping information is remote from the interrogator device. In this case, a radio frequency communications link, for example employing the 900 MHz communication band, Ricochet, or using a CPDP protocol in the cellular communications band (about 832 MHz), allows the computer associated with the interrogator to communicate with the database in order to localize itself. This remote database system allows the mobile processor to maintain limited processing capabilities, and, in the case of a cellular communication systems, allows a coarse localization based on the proximity to the cellular antenna, thus reducing the amount of processing necessary. In fact, even with a database local to the mobile system, the identification of cellular antennas may still be used to localize the interrogator to reduce ambiguities.
The microprocessor 200 controls the interrogation cycle, for example by controlling a digitally synthesized oscillator 232 and an RF switch 238. The oscillator signal SI is amplified by amplifier 234, and transmitted through antenna 240. As the antenna 240 is proximate to a transponder device 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3, the radiated RF signal interacts with a respective transponder antenna 252, and is received, modified and retransmitted as a transponder signal S2 by the passive acoustic wave transponders 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3. The transponder signal is received by the antenna 240, and by way of RF switch 238, supplied to amplifier 236. The amplified transponder signal S2 is mixed in mixer 230 with a representation of the oscillator signal S1, which is, for example, delayed by delay 254, which may be a surface acoustic wave delay line, similar to the transponders 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3 in construction. The output of the mixer 230 S3 is provided to an analog-to-digital converter 204, which has an integral sample hold amplifier, and input to the digital signal processor (DSP) 202. The DSP 202 processes the signal to identify the code of the respective transponder 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3. The microprocessor 200 receives the code identifying the transponder 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3 and processes it in conjunction with a map database 212 and an exception map database 210, to determine a location within an environment seeded with the transponders 250 0, 250 1, 250 2, 250 3. Inconsistencies are used to update the exception map database 210, to improve performance on subsequent visits to the same location having the inconsistency.
FIGS. 9A and 9B show a constrained path and free path environment, respectively, with 4 bit codes. As shown in FIG. 9A, if the interrogator system detects a series of transponder codes of 0, 6, 9, 5, the only consistent location within the environment is represented by A. Likewise, 5, 10, 2 is only consistent with location B. Thus, a relatively small number of transponder codes must be acquired before the position is localized.
As shown in FIG. 9B, in an open space, the analysis is somewhat more complicated. For example, it may be possible to remain distant from a transponder, thus misreading it. However, the gain of system can generally be increased so that, in a worst case, at least one signal can always be read. Directional antennas and timing differences may be used to distinguish between multiple transponders. To determine a location, a complete neighbor analysis must be performed, or additional navigational information provided, such as direction (inertial sensor 216, directional sensor 218, compass 224), distance (wheel rotation sensor 220), or coarse location (GPS 222).
In navigating through the environment, for example, the sequence 4, 8, 0, B defines the location C, in the 5th column, 5th row, commencing in the 3rd column, 3rd row, heading right and then diagonally down. A search of the map reveals this to be the only instance of the string B, 0, 8, along any axis, and thus three codes would have been sufficient to localize the interrogator. If all the data available were the sequence 4, C, then an ambiguity would be present, either D1 in the 3rd column, 8th row, or 2nd column, 3rd row. Therefore, the location would be resolved unless the next code was a 1 (3rd column, 4th row or 2nd column, 7th row), unless other data was supplied.
If a transponder code is missing or erroneously read, the map processor 200 will detect the error after a few more received codes, as an error or inconsistency, and store an entry in the exception map database 210. Thereafter (until flushed or reset), the map processor 200 will read the map exception database 210 data in preference (but not necessarily to the exclusion of) the map database 212 data. The map processor 200 may alternately perform a correlation of the sequence of received codes with the potential sequences represented in the map database 212 and exception map database 210, to determine a likelihood of identity. Where the correlation coefficient exceeds a threshold, which my be static or adaptive, a localization may be inferred.
The transponder system according to the present invention may advantageously be employed as part of an intelligent highway system. Therefore, the passive transponder units may be distributed along the roads as highway “dots”. In this case, the transponder units are environmentally sealed, and have an internal antenna. An outer portion of the housing has a retroreflective structure, which improves visibility. The retroreflective structure may be, for example, a plastic plate having prismatic structures, or a paint having glass beads therein.
In an intelligent highway system, automobiles are outfitted with an interrogator and associated processor. Optionally, the navigational system may be integrated with a cellular telephone communications system. This cellular telephone system integration potentially allows pre-localization of the vehicle to within a five mile radius, and typically much smaller, based on an identification of proximate cellular antennas. The navigational system may also communicate through the cellular telephone link, but this is not necessary. This communications network, however, may advantageously be used to communicate the raw data to a remote server, and return the exact location of the interrogator, or to synchronize the various mobile systems to include accurate geographical (localization) data. Thus, a central server with a dispersed communications network is provided.
FIG. 9C shows an intersection 303 of two roads 301, 302, with a traffic cutoff 304. The transponders are situated such that those closest 313, 314, 319, 318 to the intersection 303 are spaced at closer intervals than those further away 312, 315, 316, 320. Superimposed over the map are a set of grids, representing latitude and longitude as determinable by a GPS system. As can be seen, the accuracy of the GPS is insufficient to localize the receiver sufficient for navigation.
Off of road 301 is a building 309 with parking lot 308, connected by entrance 307. As shown in FIG. 9C, each parking space 311 within the parking lot may be designated by a different transponder 310. Thus, the density and arrangement of transponders may vary based on the environmental needs and desired positional resolution. In this embodiment, for example, each transponder may have, for example, an 8 bit code. While, within the scope of FIG. 9, there need not be any ambiguity in encoding with such a set of transponders, it is understood that the environmental localization space may extend far beyond the limits of the figure, and therefore ambiguities may occur over large distances. Therefore, even the relatively coarse GPS position determination 305, 306, may be sufficient to resolve any positional ambiguity. The maximum spacing of the transponders is not limited, except by the need for data. However, where the spacing exceeds the normal GPS resolution, e.g., 100 meters, then the GPS would likely be seen as the primary positioning system with the transponders and map locations, used for example, to provide a differential position correction for the GPS. The minimum spacing of transponders is limited by the selectivity of the interrogation system and availability of other fine-grained positioning systems. Typically, the spacing of transponders will be no closer that 10 centimeters, and more typically 2-10 meters.
As shown in FIG. 8, the microprocessor 200 communicates through a communications system 260 having antenna 262. This communications system is, for example, a cellular radio device. A cellular base station 272, having antenna 270, communicates with the communications system 260. The cellular base station 272 is associated with an identification code 274, which may be transmitted. This identification code 274 is therefore also associated with the particular location of the cellular base station 272. The cellular base station 272 employs the IS-41 protocol, which provides for hand-offs between base stations for moving transceivers and other system administration functions. The cellular base station 272 communicates through a network “cloud” 278 with a server 280, having associated with it a database 282. Thus, it can be seen that the mapping information may be located in the mobile unit associated map database 212 or the server 280 associated database 282, or potentially both. The server 280 may directly resolve the location of the interrogation antenna 240, or it may download appropriate mapping references to through communications system 260 based on the received identification 274 of the cellular base station 272.
By analyzing the return signal for Doppler shift and the like, it is possible to determine the relative velocity of the vehicle and the transponder, which is typically stationary.

Jane Lutton’s comment to my previous article on cheques has prompted me to write another little piece.
Jane works for PAVIS Foundation for Visually Impaired People, a small registered charity set up in 1998 that provides a tremendous range of services for those with sight difficulties. Jane’s concern is that it is this sort of charity – and I think that there must be hundreds around the United Kingdom – that will be disadvantaged by the removal of cheques, as proposed by the Payments Council [see this summary note for a reminder of the plans]. If PAVIS cannot identify the resources to invest in direct debit facilities to manage donations, then I presume that, if it can no longer raise the necessary funds, then this is a charity whose very existence could be determined by the usability and cost-effectiveness of any cheque replacement.
It is the threat to vulnerable individuals that concerns me most.
For instance, the Conservative administration at Basildon Council has decided that it is no longer cost-effective to provide housing benefit by cheque and so has announced it is to withdraw that option. The Cabinet member with responsibilities for resources, Cllr Phil Turner, claims it costs £10 to process each cheque, making it too expensive. In a further telling comment, he explains that it is more convenient for the claimant. It is refreshing to see that for all of Cameron’s Conservatives’ pretence at reinvention and identification with modern Britain, its members remain as patronisingly paternal in their treatment of those less fortunate than themselves. They, it would seem, are not entitled to decide what is the most convenient way for them to be paid.
For those who are might be defined as vulnerable, the threat is two-fold.
“Many older people rely on cheques as their main form of payment and will be very worried about how they will manage if they are withdrawn.
“Our fear is that setting a date will give the green light to banks and retailers to withdraw cheques even earlier than 2018‚ as some already have. It is vital that before cheques are phased out‚ the Payments Council ensures there is a practical‚ safe‚ paper-based alternative in place which serves the needs of this group.
“Chip and pin is problematic for many older and housebound people and we know 6.4 million over 65’s have never used the internet. Without cheques‚ we are very concerned people will be forced to keep large amounts of cash in their home‚ leaving them vulnerable to theft and financial abuse.
Secondly, as Jane’s example shows, there is a very real threat to the plethora of voluntary support services that provide assistance to the vulnerable.
Sadly, in their list of top stories in fundraising, the issue of cheques doesn’t feature. This is a significant omission as, whilst it is unlikely that this decision can be reversed, development of a suitable alternative needs to be championed by an organisation that can represent the broad range of interests in fundraising – not just the corporate donors. If you are interested in raising this issue, even to establish their opinion, you can contact the Institute of Fundraising here.
Finally, the Lib Dems have started a group on their new social networking site ACT, which is dedicated to saving the cheque. You don’t have to be a party member to join ACT and the group is called Save The Cheque Campaign.
By way of a small distraction, Cllr Turner’s eagerness to refuse to pay by cheque is not matched by his readiness to refuse payment. Enter “cheque” into the Basildon Council Website search facility and you produce 41 results (including the press release linked above). If you require reports from planning services, you are instructed to pay by cheque. If you are disabled and eligible for aid, you are instructed to pay the builder by cheque. If you want to get a season ticket you are to fill in a form – and pay by cheque. Paying fines? Cheque is an option. Rebate on your council tax? Basildon can pay this by cheque. I do not know if Cllr Turner is planning to cancel all these facilities shortly or if these cheques are somehow cheaper to process. If I were less generous, I might think that he is starting with desperate people who will go through whatever Council hoops are forced on them in order to keep a roof over their heads (the comments on the Echo story linked in the main piece suggest that housing benefit claimants are not particularly popular and therefore an easy target for a Council wanting to save some money). Thoughts would of course be appreciated, together with suggestions for questions that should be asked.

Agave sisalana (Blue Agave) : MaltaWildPlants.com - the online Flora of the Maltese Islands.
Introduced as an ornamental plant and became naturalised in some wild places namely at coastal garigues (Eg: Bahar ic-Caghaq). Similar to Agave americana but this has its leaves with smooth margins, hence not spiny.

The national minimum wage will rise again in October 2007 by about 3% from £5.35 to £5.52. However, the Work Foundation has warned that the effectiveness of the minimum wage may be at its limits and that further rises in its level may not have the desired impact in terms of addressing inequality. The articles and press release below consider these issues.
1. Using diagrams as appropriate, illustrate the likely impact on the UK labour market of the proposed increase in the national minimum wage from October 2007.
2. Assess the arguments given by the Work Foundation that the minimum wage is reaching the limits of its effectiveness.
3. Evaluate two methods other than a national minimum wage for reducing levels of both relative and absolute poverty.
The United Nations has set a target for developed countries to donate 0.7% of their GDP to poor nations. However, the average figure is just 0.33% for the developed world and according to a recent OECD report many nations are set to miss this target if they fail to boost aid spending significantly. Indeed, only a few countries – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – are currently meeting this target.
1. Explain what is meant by ‘official development assistance’.
2. Discuss the likely impact on the developing world of a failure to meet the aid targets set by the United Nations.
3. Assess the extent to which developing countries are likely to gain from globalisation.

A lot of our clients are entrepreneurs. They start businesses and we have the privilege of working with them as they develop their brand, perfect their product, and become familiar with their target market.
We work with the idea of their target market on a daily basis because everything from the colours we use in their logo to the language in their print media needs to point to this group of people. Buyer personas become like old friends and you feel like you really know these people.
So, what happens when all of the things you thought you knew about your target market change?
This is the question I was thinking about when I read Mashable’s article about how seniors are the fastest growing demographic for social media adoption. I know what you’re thinking. Everyone else is already using social media, so the growth has slowed down and makes that stat seem more significant than it really is.
The reason I’m bringing up the fact that we could be seeing an influx of Instagrandmas is that if you started your business in 2008 and seniors are a part of your target market, your marketing strategies need a major overhaul.
While traditional forms of marketing will still be important for this age group, you now also have access to social media marketing and should be taking advantage – especially while your target market is fresh to the outlet and eager to use the different social networks.
The Mashable story is a good lesson for all of us about maintaining a constant state of attention and adapting our marketing approaching as our target market adapts to a changing world. You really can’t afford not to.
If you would like us to take a look at your current marketing strategies and examine your target market, please get in touch. We would love to talk to you.

Overhead clouds and the girl sitting opposite me seems slightly unamused with it all. With how her reality is painted or with how the foldable table juts out into her thigh unlike a beautiful thorn but more like a polished rounded nuzzle of a plane. To her, I think, the world is made out of aluminium and tectonic plates, never close enough to clash. Grey and incandescent blue striped of a hoodie might just be her comfort zone- more than the trees sprouting out of the ground (maybe a bit too violently for her taste). She seems like a person that would would have coffee without sugar because extending her hand across the table would be more of a nuisance. She doesn’t seem very excited about her end destination, or maybe her mind’s too haywire to allow herself to figure out which emotion to splay out (so she settles with none). On a second thought, she’s ruminating. There’s hurt, and fear of broken piano keys, scared of hitting a C minor. Maybe she’s left a love behind. Definitely not on the wrong train.

The Formula European Masters series, which was meant to replace FIA European Formula 3 for 2019, has been cancelled by organisers.
As part of the FIA’s streamlining of its junior pyramid FIA Formula 3 has replaced the GP3 Series on Formula 1’s support bill for 2019, with the series run by Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel.
That in effect made European Formula 3 – which in recent years has been won by Esteban Ocon, Lance Stroll, Lando Norris and Mick Schumacher – redundant, but organisers vowed to keep going under a new name.
Series promoters Formel 3 Vermarktungs GmbH intended to retain a similar format and calendar to 2018 – running as a support package to DTM – and had announced DTM and Super Formula tests as prizes.
But only six drivers had so far been signed to just three teams and on Friday organisers announced the “bitter decision” to cancel the championship.
“This is a really sad day for the European young-driver sport,” said Walter Mertes, Managing Director of the Formel 3 Vermarktungs GmbH.
“In the difficult European competition environment there just aren’t enough drivers for the numerous different series.
The new-for-2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship will begin alongside May's Spanish Grand Prix.

What is it like to work at State of Idaho?
It was another help desk situation for me. It took alot of knowledge to be chosen for the position, but I didn't really get to use much of my knowledge at that job. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work for the college enterprise supporting computers for staff and faculty of the college.
What are people saying about the leadership at State of Idaho?
Good work/life balance but poor pay. The state’s highest IT people don’t have a clue, but unfortunately they don’t realize they don’t have a clue. Those of us that work in the agencies have had a fair amount of autonomy, but no longer.
What are people discussing at State of Idaho?
What do employees say about State of Idaho's culture and work-life balance?
The scope of the job expanded beyond what anyone could reasonably accomplish. The Leadership in Boise was misguided and out of touch. The culture between the districts and HQ was terrible.
How much does State of Idaho pay their employees?
50% of Specialist employees at State of Idaho think they are paid fairly.

For anyone seeking a dietitian career, current trends indicate that job prospects will be quite good for the foreseeable future. As any well-informed person knows from news reports and personal observation, America is presently in the midst of an alarming obesity epidemic, and public health experts say that it shows no signs of slowing down. While much of this is due to lack of physical exercise, a large component of the problem is poor nutrition. Many Americans rarely eat healthy, nutritious meals, instead eating mainly fast food, potato chips, soda pop, and other junk foods. The long-term effects of such a radically unhealthy diet are frightening, which means the time is ripe to embark on these medical careers.
Most dietitians (also called nutritionists) work in large institutional settings where hundreds of people are fed each day, such as nursing homes, retirement communities, prisons, hospitals, schools, and colleges and universities. Although they will usually have the final say in the preparation of the food, dietitians don’t usually work in a hands-on capacity in the kitchen or dining hall. Instead, they plan the menus, making sure that clientele are eating healthy, balanced meals that taste good. Often they will order the food supplies, and it’s their job to maintain strict safety procedures in food handling and preparation at all times. Jobs in these settings may also require a lot of record keeping and other paperwork.
Other dietitians work with particular populations of people, such as diabetics or the extremely overweight. These positions are usually found in hospitals or larger medical clinics. Tasks include educating patients on principles and practices of good nutrition tailored to their condition, and helping them plan and stick to a healthy diet. There are an increasing number of dietitians who work in private practice, soliciting clients directly instead of through a hospital or clinic, usually (but not always) focusing on one particular patient population. Dietitians in private practice will also need to have a keen grasp of small-business practices, such as accounting, marketing, budgeting, etc. Self-employed dietitians are expected to make up a larger percentage of the field in coming years.
In order to qualify for a dietitian career, a person will need to earn a bachelor’s degree that has been approved by the American Dietetic Association’s Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education. Most of these degrees will be in dietetics or nutrition, while others will focus on food-service systems management or similar areas. The key is approval by the ADA, and there are approximately 300 of these approved courses at last count. It’s also possible to earn a master’s or doctoral degree in nutrition or dietetics, and doing so can be the pathway to better-paying jobs with more responsibility. After graduating, the prospective dietitian will need to pass the rigorous Registered Dietitian Exam in order to be certified to work in the field.
Job growth in the field is expected to be above average in coming years, as America’s obesity epidemic leads to greater public awareness of the health risks involved and increased public and private spending to address the problem. Salaries should also go up, and are already quite substantial. Most dietitians earn between $40,000 and $60,000 a year, while some make much more than that. In addition, due to the fact that many dietitians are employed by the government sector and large institutions, benefit packages are usually more generous than average. For anyone concerned with public health and making a real difference in people’s lives, a dietitian career is an excellent choice.

The liberal media is going crazy over Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She’s basically their new Obama. But a recent poll finds that an overwhelming majority of Americans would not vote for a socialist candidate.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described “socialist” whose surprise victory in a New York Democratic primary has garnered a tremendous amount of attention among left-leaning activists.
Although Sanders remains highly popular among Democratic voters (and Americans generally), in the American Barometer survey, 64 percent of Democratic respondents said they would not vote for a “socialist.” Among respondents who said they voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election, 59 percent said they would not support a self-described socialist.
Democrats and the media are pushing this idea but based on this poll, it looks like the whole thing could blow up in their faces.

VIDA Insight No.19 - Celebrating at Dans Le Noir?
19. Celebrating at Dans Le Noir?
A few weeks ago, for my husband’s 50th, we took 17 family members to Dans Le Noir (http://london.danslenoir.com/en/home/). For those of you that don’t know, Dans Le Noir is the ‘dining in the dark’ restaurant where, as the name suggests, you eat in the dark (total dark!). So John decided he would like to do something a bit different for his birthday and rather than taking everyone bungee jumping, he opted for this experience. John and I had been there last year and really enjoyed it but we were unsure how it would be for everyone else. Our ages ranged from 13 – 81, all sighted people and most with little (or no) experience of vision impairment.
So apart from the logistics of getting everyone there (which was comparatively easy apart from taxi’s not turning up to take us to the train station) we all arrived okay. As a surprise for John, I had booked a private room which also had its own lounge. Juan was our host for the day and welcomed us warmly. We then went through taking off all jewellery, watches, glasses etc and putting phones and bags in a safe place. My brother was a little unnerved removing his glasses as he then couldn’t see very clearly at all, but he was reassured that he would be guided into the restaurant and from then on glasses would be of no assistance whatsoever! The jewellery, watch and phone removal is to ensure nothing with any light reflection goes into the restaurant, but also ensures you don’t have anything with you that you are going to put down and then be unable to relocate or knock to the floor! Everything else is left outside so there are no trip hazards in the restaurant.
We were then introduced to Jack – our waiter for lunch. Jack is registered blind, as are all the waiters at Dans Le Noir. Jack then lead us table by table into the restaurant. As we had 2 tables, 1 of 9 and one of 8, the first 9 people made a single file line and then each put their right hand onto the shoulder of the person in front with Jack the waiter as the lead. In this way everyone made their way into the restaurant. It was at this point that everyone realised exactly how dark the restaurant was! Although we’d been there before, both John and I said we both experienced the same feeling of trepidation as your sight is completely taken from you. Jack seated each person in turn by guiding their hand onto the back of their chair and allowing them to feel their chair before seating themselves. Jack then repeated this with the other table of people.
And then began the dining experience! Prior to the day, everyone had chosen whether they wanted to follow the white (surprise), red (meat), blue (fish) or green (vegetarian) menu. Other than these choices none of us had any idea what we were going to eat – all part of the tasting experience!
When serving the cocktails, Jack kindly warned us that the cocktails had straws in them, very useful information to save accidental injury! A lot of debate was had about the content of the cocktail – passionfruit and strawberry were the keen favourites.
We were then each served with our starters – luckily for Jack, I thought his ‘where’s my little vegetable’ comment quite amusing as I was the sole vegetarian of the group!! In fact, Jack's sense of humour and general attitude really helped everyone to relax and enjoy the fun element of the meal rather than worrying about the darkness. As my starter contained sliced fennel, I spent quite a bit of time with the curve not quite fitting in my mouth and tapping me instead on the side of my face. As quite a distinguished flavour it was easy to identify, but other items were less so. Whilst most people could get an idea of what they were eating (i.e. fish, meat, potato etc) being able to taste exactly what it was proved more difficult (I don’t think anyone got kangaroo!). During the main course, one of the party found himself without dinner, which, although confused, Jack quickly rectified by bringing another meal. However, it later transpired that my son was convinced his plate had 4 sections whereas everyone else’s had only 3. We reckon he’d somehow ended up with 2 plates (I don’t think on purpose). People did manage to eat most of their meals with their knives and forks (or so they tell me) but as none of us could see each other or the mess we were making, it didn’t really matter and no-one needed to be too self conscious. The restaurant do provide extra size napkins too!
We were then led out of the room by Jack and back into the lounge area where John was greeted with his birthday cake (thank you again to Dans Le Noir for being so accommodating) and where tea and coffee was safely served.
pointed out, in the dark he’s completely missed that he was special, assuming we were all sat on the same!
On leaving the restaurant, we met Jack outside waiting for a lift or taxi. We thanked him again for his help (having explained who we were – although he said he recognised our voices anyway!).
I would certainly recommend this for both the food and the experience. Thank you to Dans le Noir (https://www.facebook.com/DansLeNoirLondon/) and also our families for making it such good fun!

The Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave in Southern France contains some of the earliest known art made by humans. Rediscovered only in 1994, the paintings show at least 13 different animals including cave lions, bears and panthers.
Pope John XII (c.930-964) became pope in 955 through the help of his father, Alberic II of Spoleto. At a very young age, John XII was not exactly up to par with his holy job. His worldly desires got the better of him.

He is a guy with a soldering iron and an affinity for unusual tubes. I am not sure if uniqueness is more important than sonics. Looking at the site does not show me any real sonic development over the years, rather just pretty and unique tube stuff - also for the DIYourselfer.
Some very upmarket parts choices right there. Another place that I have noticed Thomas Mayer is attached to Wolf Von Langa fieldcoils...(the valve towers in between the white giants)..
Hm, I did not realize that that it was a preamp. I thought that it was a hybrid power amp. In preamp the Y10 probably might sit at lower voltage. I have no idea how can they talk about preamp and do not talk about what output impedance it has. The Y10 with OPT it would not be too low… To me it would be fun to have Y10 as power amp with some kind of interesting driver.

The University of Rhode Island’s football team wrapped up their season on Nov. 19 with a 32-31 loss against Towson University on senior day, and finished their season with a 2-9 record, continuing a dismal streak of futility that has become the accepted norm in the minds of a student body who sees an equally dreary future on the horizon. The Rams, however, gave people the biggest cause for optimism in years with a season in which the adage “You are what you record says you are” would have to be stretched in order to see the visible change and improvements URI made during their 2016-17 campaign.
Rhode Island football has developed a culture that dooms the team to failure weeks before kickoff, with an often inferior recruiting class making it difficult for them to compete against even the middling CAA teams. The constant losing and lack of energy that tends to permeate through Meade Stadium can beg the question, why is there still money being funneled into a perennially substandard program? A glance at the schedule, and sea of L’s would appear to validate what has become a natural response built into to anyone who has attended multiple games. URI, though, in a subtle, yet perhaps potentially telling way, turned a corner.
URI failed to eclipse two wins for the third straight season. So why the positive spin? Firstly, The Rams bested their interstate foe, Brown University, in a game that always has buzz surrounding it, no matter what the teams’ records. Pride and celebration ensued as the Rams hoisted the coveted Governor’s cup in front of the home crowd. The Bears ultimately finished with a record of 4-6, which while below .500, is as close to a big and meaningful win the Rams have enjoyed in quite a while. Their defense showed great composure in game where quarterback Jordan Vazzano was unable to generate much offense, completing just 4-of-24 pass attempts for 24 yards.
URI’s defense proved to be a mixed bag for head coach Jim Fleming. The secondary did a fine job of keeping the Rams quietly competitive in more than half of their games (Albany and New Hampshire turned ugly in the fourth quarter) and when opponents did run up the score it was usually because of their insufficient rushing defense. The line surrendered more than 200 yards on the ground per game, a staggering number that will lead to defeat almost every time. Opposing running backs would instantly become the main attraction in a Rhode Island game, ravaging the Rams for multiple touchdowns and massive yardage that exhausted the defense and kept the ball out of the offense’s hands. Fleming and company boast a formidable recruiting class from a year ago, and there is the hope, or rather the necessity that among them there is a competent lineman or two.

Ever since Christopher Columbus sighted the New World from the poop of the Santa Maria, the island of Cuba, which he hopefully believed to be Japan, has played an important role in the unfolding of American history. Columbus brought back glowing tales of gold and spices, none of which he himself had seen but which his lieutenant, Diego de Velasquez, would soon be sending home.
For the next four hundred years Cuba belonged to Spain; but long before the United States had come into being, this great island, the Pearl of Antilles, was recognized by the far-sighted Governor Pownall of Massachusetts as forming part of the North American domain.

Buckle in because this one is going to be lengthy.
First off, if you’ve been a client of mine since around 2015, you know this sweet face!!! Amanda, my best friend, has also accompanied me at weddings as my second shooter (Florida Weddings)! She is a photographer in the Tampa Bay area in Florida and I just love her to pieces. We have seen each other through some sh*t, man! She turned 30 and, of course, we had to do a cake smash session. Yeah, about that though. We live 900 miles apart. Oh, yeah… Well, enter in some lies and deception between the Best Friend and the Wife.
Remember when Katie lied to me about being in a meeting and secretly ran off to see our client’s newborn baby before her Fresh 48 session at the hospital?! Yeah, it’s because Amanda and Katie had been in cahoots for a few weeks planning to surprise me with her vacation to D.C. You lying liars who lied to my face via text message!!! Amanda chose a flight that would coincide with the end of Katie’s shift (since she works near the airport), thinking that everything would run smoothly and I wouldn’t notice a rift in our normalcy. Enter in Katie’s first mistake: “Running late. In a meeting.” Something was up. Katie never has meetings at 5pm. That’s quitting time! Amanda’s not answering my texts either. Weird… What’s going on here?! I call Katie and she quickly rushes me off the phone. Okay, that’s not too weird if she’s in a meeting. But there’s this thing about Amanda not texting me back. Hmmm.
An hour or so later, Katie made her second mistake. She called me sounding weird. (Tip to anyone out there who needs to keep a secret from me: Don’t tell Katie. She. Will. Break.) Well, turns out, Amanda was sitting in the passenger seat of our car turning onto our street. I knew something was up and waited on the balcony to watch her pull up into our driveway. YUP! There’s my Best Friend! SURPRISE!
To answer your question, I knew it and I didn’t it. But I mostly did. And didn’t.
It was the best surprise! We, of course, had to show off our new city!
Here’s Amanda showing off all the state’s she calls home!
The National Mall is always busy, but it was July 4th weekend (hence our awesomely patriotic outfits) and the heat index was in the triple digits! It was HOT. So hot we decided against walking the 1/4 mile back to the museums and grabbed a cab instead. Best $10 we spent!!! Two words: air conditioning.
But wait! There’s more! This week together wouldn’t be complete without Amanda’s 30th Birthday Cake Smash Session! Cake, Champagne, & Glitter. I mean, what better way to commemorate turning Flirty Thirty!
A note on this glittery image: Amanda & I would like to thank Katie for her patience and inevitable acceptance of the glitter throwing to get this shot. Normally she wouldn’t care… if she hadn’t just laid down our brand new wood floors. Oops. WORTH IT!
Love and Light, My Friends!!!

Wow.. My last post was in May 2015. So much has been happening since then, and I wanted to give a quick update as to why I haven’t been posting.
The Mady by Mitty launch happened in March 2015, and I had all intentions of devoting my time to creating and sewing, and all things Mitty! However, Reagan asked me to marry him on the same night! Unfortunately, Mitty took a back seat to wedding preparations.
Our wedding will be happening in March this year (2016)! I’m at a point now where I feel that I can get back into blogging. Our wedding is a major DIY event, and I’ve got lots of related posts ready to go.
As well as wedding posts, I’ll be blogging about all the other things that I make along the way.
2016 will be a very big year for me, and I’m really looking forward to documenting it! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Written just prior to the Christmas holiday, this letter is again addressed to Maggie Bowker. In the second paragraph Baird’s description of his view of Washington D.C. and the sounds is fascinating – you really get a sense of what he is experiencing. Here is a link to a map showing Washington D.C. and outlying camps and tents. Baird was again encamped at Meridian Hill.
I received your kind letter of Dec. 13th, only last evening and I now hasten to pen you a few lines in reply. Your letter found me quite well with the exception of a very severe cold with which I have been troubled some time. When we first came here the weather was quite warm, almost hot, and have since had a sudden change, and for the past few days it has been very cold, and I think this is the cause of my cold, and most of the boys are in the Same fix. To-day, however, is beautiful, almost like Spring. Indeed while you are enjoying yourselves Sleighriding and frolicking at the evening parties, we are enjoying all the pleasures of a Michigan April, with the exception of now and then a chilly day.
I wish you could be with me now, just where I am sitting, (for I left the camp So that I might have the privilege of writing one letter in the quiet. ) and have the view I have. There is scarcely a direction that you may look, but your eye meets an encampment. Scarcely a hillside that is not dotted with tents. The whole country here is one grand military encampment. Washington abounds with hospitals. There is nothing to be heard around but the rattling of army waggons, the rolling of drums, and the sounding of bugles; with now and then the heavy booming of cannon in the far distance. If Virginia and the District of Columbia recover from the ravages of this unholy war in twenty years I shall miss my guess. There is nothing but desolation reigning every where. God forbid that as dire a calamity should ever befall our fair little State of Michigan.
Well Maggie, I presume you are anticipating grand times about Christmas and New Year, well you must try and enjoy yourself the very best you can. I regret only that it is not in my power, nor my lot to share those holy days with you. And while yourself and Miss Miller are enjoying yourselves, you must neither of you forget me, nor, indeed, any of the Soldiers.
Now Maggie, when you write again you must take time and write a_ O ever so long a letter. Your letters lately have been so brief, only a few short lines. Now, as to your teaching next summer, that should rest with yourself, you know whether you are competent to teach or not and if you are, I think it is the best thing you can do. You will, with care, if you improve your time, have every chance of informing yourself, and developing your mind. You must however, use your own judgement. I will inclose in this a short note to Miss Miller, according your request, which you will please hand her. And be sure and have her answer it.
Now do try and write once a week, and oftener if you can. Please excuse this ill looking letter, and wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New year.
I have the unexpected privilege and pleasure of penning you a hasty note before quitting Camp Kellogg. Yesterday our horses and Saddles were all shiped, and today we were induced to get ready. My blankets are all packed, and my haversack is filled with two days rations. Most of the tents are ready for packing and altogether it looks like moving. It reminds me of camp life in old Virginia. It would be an interesting scene to you. But my time and space will allow me to say but little. Long ere you get this novel letter, I shall be far on my way to Dixie and I would’nt write now, only that you may know that amid the bustle and confusion of preperation for departure, I have not forgotten you, and for fear it may be a long while before I will write to you again. Again, dear Maggie good bye. Old Michigan, good bye. Remember me Maggie, it will be long ere I See you again, But you won’t forget me will you? I must close. Things look like moving.
The 6th Michigan left for Washington, D.C. on the following day attached to the Provisional Cavalry Brigade, Casey’s Division. Upon arriving they were employed in the defense of Washington, D.C.
Baird would not be able to write to Maggie again until December 23rd, 1862.
Baird’s letter to his girlfriend Maggie has a decidedly romantic tone, and perhaps references their future union. This letter also indicates when he received the image posted on this page.
I now sit down to answer your letter of Nov. 26th containing your likeness. I received it the next evening after my last letter to you. I thank you very much for your picture, and you may be Sure I was glad to get it before we left for the south. You need make no apology on account of the picture, for it is not only a good one, but is a fac-Similie of “Maggie”. There is only one objection I can find with it, if you will permit me to make it, and that is, it would have looked better if you had worn your hair long. O, Maggie you will let your hair grow out, for my Sake, won’t you? What will more beautifully, or more chastely adorn a woman than a luxuriant head of hair. I do not wish to dictate, for it is your privilege to wear your hair as you please but do promise me you will do this for me. By the way Maggie, you haven’t Sent me the lock of hair I asked you for.
My dear girl, I would gladly comply with your little request if it were in my power to do so, but the fact is our regiment hasn’t been paid off yet, and I have been informed that we will not get our pay till we get to Washington. And I have but little money by one at present not near the amount you desire. If we get our pay soon after we get to Washington, as we are assured we will, I will try and send you the Sum. I will do any thing I can to assist you in getting ready for that little event. Indeed, I believe I have an interest in that event too, hav’nt I? I can assure you I wish it were nearer than the prospect at present will soon admit.
We will probably bid adieu to Camp Kellogg and Michigan this week. Our horses will be shipped Wednesday, and we will follow as soon as we can.
I would send you my picture, as you desire, but we haven’t got all our equipment yet, especially our arms, but I can get it with what I have and Send it.
Maggie, it is very cold, and so much confusion in the tent, that I am compelled to close. I thank you for the kiss and with this, return another. Give my respects to Miss Miller and maybe I will write by’ n by. Be a good girl while I am gone and take good care of yourself. I am well.
Michigan’s Governor, Austin Blair toured the camp of the 6th Michigan Cavalry and stated that the troops would not be paid before reaching Washington, as Baird reports above. According to the account of Edwin R. Havens of the 7th Michigan Cavalry, many men refused to march without being paid. To read the entire diary held by Michigan State University Archives and Historical Collections, click here.
I now sit down to fulfill my promise to write as soon as I get to camp.
The weather was rather tedious and consequently tedious riding and altogether we would have had rather a dull time of it but Fred Burgaman [Bergman]came with us and a jollier fellow you never saw. He kept us all in a roar of laughter all the time. The most trifling thing he would turn into a joke and so nicely too that one couldn’t help laughing. We did’nt get here till yesterday afternoon.
We had a beautiful fall of snow this morning, and altogether it looks quite wintry. There is but little contrast between our white tents and the snowy carpet that surrounds them. O; for the land of “Dixie”. By the way, I expect we shall soon depart for that land of trouble. The first battalion of our regiment will probably Start next Friday, our destination being Washington. The other battalions will follow as Speedily as possible. My company belongs to the Second battalion and will be off next. Governor Blair is expected to be here tomorrow to inspect the 6th preparatory to moving.
Company K had their horses allotted to them and I had drawn a splendid animal, but I expect to lose him today as there seems to have been a mistake in the allotment, I am sorry, for he was a complete picture.
It may be Maggie that I shall not have the privilege of writing again till I get down to “Dixie”. I expected to have heard from you when I got to camp, but I was very much disappointed. Indeed Maggie the Mails Seem to be awful Slow coming this way.
But, my dear girl, I must close and now as I shall soon leave our laued [likely lauded] State and many weary miles, and lone hours will Separate us, you must not forget to write often. You well know the pleasure it gives to get a few words of remembrance from a friend. O; then do not forget me, my dear girl, write often. And I assure you, there is one who, when far away, will remember you and think of you.
Good bye for this time and I will write as soon as I get to our place of destination and before if I can.

So far my favorites are: Charlotte Gray, The Painted Veil, Won't Back Down. And I've watching the Before trilogy with Ethan Hawke and Julia Delpy over the holidays.
I will have to look up those three titles! Thank you for the recommendations!
Did you like the trilogy? I loved them. I was on the way to see the third one in a theater when my last car broke down for the first time. Eventually I bought it on my Kindle.

Khenchen Namdrol Tsering (Tib. མཁན་ཆེན་རྣམ་གྲོལ་ཚེ་རིང་, Wyl. mkhan chen rnam grol tshe ring) (b. 1953) is one of the leading khenpos in the Nyingma tradition and is universally acknowledged as an expert on the Guhyagarbha Tantra and its various commentaries. As a khenchen, he is one of three most senior khenpos of Namdroling Monastery and is also one of the foremost disciples of Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok. He oversees Rigpa Shedra East in Pharping, Nepal.
Khenchen Namdrol was born in 1953 in Samar in Derge. At the age of seven, in 1959, he fled Tibet together with Penor Rinpoche and reached Bylakuppe, South India. He became a monk at the age of thirteen, and learned reading and writing directly from Penor Rinpoche.
In 1968 he completed the five hundred thousand accumulations of the preliminary practice. He began his studies with Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, receiving teachings on the Viśeṣa-stava and the Thirty-Seven Practices of the Bodhisattvas and also studied the Bodhicharyavatara with the Sakya Khenpo Khedrub, who stayed at Namdroling for three years. He decided to study the Bodhicharyavatara with Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen in Pokhara, Nepal, but arrived as the teachings were concluding. From Nepal he went on to Darjeeling where he received teachings on Nagarjuna's Collection of Middle Way Reasoning from Khenpo Palden Sherab and then to Dabrali in Sikkim, where he studied Prajnaparamita, Madhyamika, Pramana and other topics with Khenpo Tsöndrü at the Sikkimese government shedra.
In 1978 he returned to Namdroling Monastery with Khenpo Tsöndrü and together they established the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute. Since its beginnings, Khenpo has played a key role in administering and teaching at the institute. He received the formal title of khenpo from Penor Rinpoche in 1983.
In 1988 he traveled to Serta, in Kham Province Tibet, to receive teachings from Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok, including the Guhyagarbha Tantra, Chetsün Nyingtik, and Khenpo's own written instructions on Dzogchen. Again in 1992, he returned to Tibet and received further Dzogchen instructions from Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok. He accompanied Khenpo Jikhpun on his tour of Europe and America in 1993, including his visit to Lerab Ling.
In 1998, under the guidance of Penor Rinpoche, he established the Palyul Retreat Centre, Samten Osel Ling in Pharping, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Khenpo now spends much of his time at his centre, as well as teaching abroad and at the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute. From 2003 to 2006 he taught Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima's Key to the Precious Treasury at Lerab Ling. This was part of a series of teachings on the major commentaries to the Guhyagarbha Tantra offered in Europe and America and translated by Sangye Khandro.
On 26 December 2004, Khenpo organized the first anniversary ceremony for Khenpo Jikme Phuntsok in Bodh Gaya, which was led by Penor Rinpoche and attended by a large assembly of monks, nuns and lay practitioners. In 2009 he gave a talk entitled "The Madhyamaka and Dzogchen views of the fundamental nature of phenomena" at the International Conference on Buddhism and Science held at the Central University of Tibetan Studies in Sarnath. In June 2012 he concluded a series of teachings on Longchenpa's Treasury of Word and Meaning in California, describing the teachings as the most significant achievement of his life.
Lerab Ling, 2-4 September 2018: oral transmission of the Chöying Dzö and Longchenpa's commentary on the root verses, including some teachings.

November has been a rough month here. Right at the beginning we had a door that was open - that we did not even know would even close - pretty much slam in our faces. And neither another door nor a window has opened yet. Dry socket, illness, a medical procedure, a difficult IEP meeting, and what I presume to be food poisoning yesterday in addition to the closed door have left me weary and worn. If we hadn't had the summer we had, perhaps I would be stronger. But this summer about killed me emotionally. And November has just been extra hard.
There is always something to be thankful for, and I try to focus on that here. But sometimes I just need to say I am sad. I have followed "the rules," I keep putting one foot in front of the other, I keep clinging to my faith, but the why questions inevitably overwhelm me. Some days I find myself closer to Job's wife than to Job, and quite honestly, that scares me.
I'm sorting out my faith, my theology these days. What is truth and what is first world entitlement and prosperity gospel? What is a loving God and what is a sovereign God and are these terms synonymous or opposing view points? A+B has rarely equaled C in my life, so am I doing something wrong or is that just how it is? And I live in a cozy house with my sweet little family with food on the table, which is more than so many other people in the world have - so why am I disappointed and frustrated? Why do I look across the fence and wonder why I can't have what the Joneses own?
Advent is coming, and I am longing for it more than ever this year. I am needing the reminders of Hope, Joy, Peace, and Love. I am needing the message of redemption and a kingdom not of this world. I am needing new quiet in this bustling, loud world, and I am needing new light to shine on the dark path my feet seem to be walking.
I am always complaining about annoyances in my life and then biting my tongue because I get to live here and not in Syria and my babies have full bellies and we are warm. I totally know what you're talking about- the yearning for something more and better and trying to be content and grateful. Praying that you find rest and peace and joy! in Advent this year.
Thank you, Meg! I have to bite my tongue a lot! I hope you all have a wonderful Advent and Christmas!
You are not alone. I think, very simply, we mamas take on the world both to teach our children and to protect our children. It is a daily struggle to be content and grateful for what we have while trying to push down the voice that says - I've worked hard, done the right thing, why can't I have more or why don't things work out the way they should. Continue to hold your precious family close, that is what matters and what provides our strength. Praying for all of the mommies out there - that we may find peace within ourselves to enjoy life's little moments this Christmas Season!
Thank you for this encouraging comment, Brooke! I appreciate you sharing your words here. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!

The Wheel of Fortune is one of the most highly symbolic cards in the deck, filled with signs that each have its own meaning. At the center of the card, lies a giant wheel, covered in esoteric symbols. There are different creatures that surround the wheel; the angel, the eagle, the bull and the lion. They are related to four fixed signs in the zodiac - leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius. These four animals are also representatives for the four evangelists in Christian traditions, which is perhaps the reason that they are all adorned with wings.
The books that each of the creatures hold represents the Torah which communicates wisdom and self-understanding. The snake indicates the act of descending into material world. On the wheel itself, rides a sphinx that sits at the top, and what appears to be either a devil, or Anubis himself arising at the bottom. These two Egyptian figures are representative of both the wisdom of the gods and kings (in the case of the sphinx) and the underworld (Anubis). They are rotating forever, in a cycle, and suggests that as one comes up, the other goes down.
The Wheel of Fortune turns evermore, seemingly to communicate that life is made up of both good and bad times, and that the cycle is one that we cannot control. It is something that is subjected to both kings and workers, and that nobody on earth can avoid what is fated. When you have good moments in your life, make sure that you enjoy to the fullest, for what comes up must always go down. The same is true in reverse - when you are in a bad situation, things will eventually become better again.
The same forces that govern the changing of the seasons, or the rising and setting of the sun is also the master of luck and the fate of individuals.
Greater forces that are outside of human control are at work here. The same forces that govern the changing of the seasons, or the rising and setting of the sun is also the master of luck and the fate of individuals. Where it lands is as random as chance - you may find yourself at either the top or bottom, but remember that no matter what the outcome it may not last for very long, for the wheel always turns.
When the wheel is reversed, it means that luck has not been on your side and misfortunes have been following you. When it's associated with this card, you must understand that these are due to external influences that you cannot control. Like the wheel, our luck and our fate is always in motion, and sometimes we are on the bottom. Be assured that the wheel will turn again, and you will be okay again soon.
What you shouldn't do however, is cling to the illusion of control. Perhaps in this turn of the wheel, the lesson is to learn to let go and release. There are things that cannot be moved by human will and action alone. When we do not let go, it can bring only more suffering, for you may blame yourself for actions that could not have altered the situation. When we learn to accept, we also learn to forgive ourselves. We learn to move on, and move forward - and eventually, we learn that this feeling of acceptance can push the wheel again forward, and move it towards a new cycle.

• Wisconsin won the third NCAA Tournament in 1941, beating Washington State 39-34 at Municipal Auditorium.
• North Carolina won the first of its five championships with an epic 54-53 triple overtime win over Kansas in 1957 at Municipal.
• Villanova pulled one of the great upsets in tournament history when, as a ninth seed, the Wildcats beat Georgetown 66-64 for the 1985 championship in Lexington, Ky.
• Kansas, led by Danny Manning and the Miracles, won the second of three championships by defeating Oklahoma 83-79 at Kemper Arena in the 50th anniversary of the NCAA Tournament.
• And La Salle, which needs to beat Boise State in a first-round game Wednesday to reach Kansas City, beat Bradley 92-76 in 1954 at Municipal Auditorium with all-American Tom Gola leading the way.
While Kansas State, Mississippi and Western Kentucky have not won a national title, the programs have rich traditions as well.
Kansas State has played in four Final Fours — 1948, 1951, 1958 and 1964 — with the final one played at Municipal Auditorium. Mississippi, making its sixth NCAA appearance, advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2001 after beating Iona and Notre Dame in the first two rounds at Kemper Arena.
Western Kentucky, operating in the shadow of Kentucky and Louisville, will be making its 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance when they face top-seeded Kansas around 8:50 p.m. Friday. The Hilltoppers, led by all-American Jim McDaniels, reached the 1971 Final Four in Houston, where — and get ready for this — they lost 92-89 in double overtime to Villanova and beat Kansas in the third-place game.
Also, Western Kentucky coach Ray Harper led Oklahoma City to consecutive NAIA Tournament championships in Kansas City in 2007-08.
Little wonder the confluence of such college basketball heavyweights — supported by nearby loyal fan bases of Kansas, Kansas State — will make this regional the toughest ticket in the tournament. The event is sold out, pending ticket returns from the participating schools.
The fans shouldn’t be disappointed with what they see.
Mississippi may be a No. 12 seed, but the Rebels, led by SEC tournament MVP Marshall Henderson, beat Florida 66-63 for its first conference tournament championship since 1981. Henderson, a flashy 6-foo-2 junior guard who has been known to play to the crowds — even performing the Florida Gator chomp at the end of Sunday’s game — led the SEC in scoring at 20.1 points per game. In the SEC tournament, he scored 27 against Missouri, 23 against Vanderbilt and 21 against Florida.
North Carolina and Wisconsin finished second in their conference tournaments on Sunday.
Wisconsin, which lost to Ohio State 50-43 in the Big Ten final, will be making its 15th consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament when it plays Mississippi for the first time at 11:40 Friday morning. The Badgers, 23-11, had an impressive run in the Big Ten tournament, knocking off Michigan and Indiana by identical 68-56 scores. Indiana is one of four No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
The methodical, deliberate Badgers are led by guard Ben Brust, who averages 11.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
Roy Williams’ Tar Heels, 24-10, who play Villanova at 6:20 p.m. Friday, feature three players — sophomore forward James Michael McAdoo, junior guard Reggie Bullock and sophomore guard P.J. Hairston all average between 14.2 and 14.4 points per game. The Tar Heels lost to Miami in the ACC title game.
North Carolina owns a 4-1 record over Villanova in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats’ lone win was in a 1985 regional en route to winning the national championship. Most recently, the teams met in the 2009 Final Four with eventual champion North Carolina winning 83-69.
This will be the second time that Villanova plays a NCAA Tournament game in Kansas City. In 1983, the Wildcats defeated Iowa in a regional semifinal at Kemper Arena before falling to top-seeded Houston in the regional final.
Villanova, 20-13, is led by sophomore forward JayVaughn Pinkson, who averages 13.1 points and 4.9 rebounds. Freshman point guard Ryan Arcidiacono, who was selected to the Big East all-rookie team, averages 12.0 points and 3.5 assists per game and leads the Wildcats with 70 three-pointers.
Though a No. 9 seed, Villanova thrives in the underdog role. Villanova is 15-13 as an NCAA Tournament “underdog” seed, the most such wins in tournament history. Five of those victories came during Villanova’s run to the 1985 national championship.

Foals have announced a headlining tour to take place this fall across the United States. The run will kick off on September 23rd in Seattle, WA at the Paramount. Fan club presales will launch on Tuesday, July 12th at 10:00 AM local time. The general on-sale will launch on Friday, July 15th at 10:00 AM local time. Bear Hands and Kiev will support all dates on the tour (except Portland, OR). Additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Following their biggest UK arena tour to date, Foals was most recently in the U.S. for the 15-city Spring Fling Rock AF tour alongside Cage The Elephant, Silversun Pickups, and Bear Hands and additional dates with Silversun Pickups. The band is taking the festival circuit by storm having performed at Coachella, Shaky Knees, and Hangout Fest with additional appearances slated for Lollapalooza, Panorama, Osheaga, Voodoo Fest, and Outside Lands. They will also headline Reading and Leeds next month. For a complete list of upcoming dates, click HERE.
Foals current album What Went Down was released this past August on Warner Music and emerged to the best reviews of the band’s career as it debuted at #3 and commanded a Top 20 chart position for four weeks in the UK. The album also produced the band’s first Number 1 at Alternative Radio with “Mountain at My Gates”. Shortly after the album’s release, the band won ‘Best Act In The World’ at the Q Awards and received a BBC Music Award Nomination for ‘British Artist of the Year’. Foals was also nominated for four awards at the 2016 NME Awards, including ‘Best British Band’, “Best Live Band’, ‘Best Album’, and ‘Best Track’. What Went Down is an album that grapples with questions that are a world away from the bland bleatings of homogenized pop: permanence and impermanence; life and death; solitude; vulnerability; intimacy; passion; rage; humanity – weighty issues that make demands of the people creating that music, and of all those who listen to it, too. Sonically, it’s an album that precariously seesaws between primal aggression and naked vulnerability.

An older lady today - walking her little Chihuahua in the gardens at the back of the casino.
C'est une dame tres frileuse..
ou il fait un drole de temps a Monte Carlo!!!!
That's one classy older lady; - not a hair out of place.
The dog's got his eye on you, too.
"Who dares photograph my mistress !! "
The dog does seem to have something to say, and is as well turned out as his lady.
The need to have someone to look after is very powerful - in man and in beast. I wonder if she would be "taking the air" without her doggie? This is a very powerful image that speaks volumes, Jilly.
Cute dog and it looks like the lady is trying to keep her face out of the wind or something. It isn't cold over there is it?
What a cute little doggie in his adorable sweater!
Apologies. I should have explained. I took this photograph when we had a spell of bad weather - whilst the Grand Prix was being prepared. Around April I seem to remember. Hence the lady wearing thicker clothes.
They both look so elegant, Jilly. I can see I'm going to have to dress up when I go to Monaco!
Oh, that little pooches face is a picture, bless. He's so photgentic and she so nonchalant. Lovely of dog taking mistress for walkies.
I love this! Those big pearl earrings are lovely, as is the entire ensemble, including the pooch!
Sally from Sydney in Monte Carlo!

To make the big flower, I punched out 5 circles with the 1″ circle punch and fold two sides of each circle to make like a triangle. You can use the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to help with that too. The small flower is made with six 3/4″ circles. The leaves were fold in half and run through the crimper to give them some texture. You could use the Blossom Petals Builder punch to make your leaves, but since I don’t have it yet, I just draw them by hand and cut them with scissors.

Political Psychology, Vol. 9, No. 4, 1988, Pp. 693-699.
In his critique of my paper Eckhardt correctly identifies me as an anarchocapitalist but assumes that I vote conservative. I, in fact, vote for nobody. Eckhardt goes on to mention a number of studies which in his view support the authoritarian personality theory of Adorno et al. (1950). I systematically examine each such study and show why it is inadequate to the task Eckhardt asks of it. Problems in defining "conservatism" are then examined. It is pointed out that only conservatives defend authoritarianism but both Leftists and Rightists are equally likely to behave in authoritarian ways.
KEY WORDS: authoritarianism, racism, anarchocapitalism, Rightism, Leftism.
I am amused that Eckhardt (1988) starts out identifying me (correctly) as an anarchocapitalist but then goes on to assume that I vote for conservative political candidates. He sure knows how to hurt a guy! In Australia it is compulsory by law to vote, and I am at present being prosecuted by the Australian Federal government because of my refusal to do so. I would have thought that a good dictionary would have told Eckhardt that anarchists do not vote! It is true, however, that I have at times supported some of what are generally seen as conservative causes (such as preventing war by deterrence and supporting free markets). No anarchist, however, could have a favorable attitude toward authority, as Eckhardt claims I do. Authoritarianism is the anarchist's anathema. In fact, all of the 50 or more papers I have written on authoritarianism have as their underlying theme the message that authoritarianism, because of its frequency and "normality," is far more of a problem than is generally recognized.
When I see Eckhardt's accusation that I have a favorable attitude toward racism, however, I am simply saddened. The truth is that I support the judicial dictum that each case must be judged on its individual merits. I do, however, know why Eckhardt so accuses me. It seems to me that Eckhardt and many like him are so anxious to condemn racism that they fail to understand it. I, on the other hand, devote myself to trying to understand it. Although they are commonly confused, to understand is not to condone and, unless we do understand, our claim to being scientists is a very thin one. I am not satisfied that abusing racists represents an understanding of them. The work by Adorno et al. (1950) does seem to me to be little more than abuse -- albeit very sophisticated abuse. I have, however, set out my views on that many times before (e.g., Ray, 1973, 1980, 1984a; Ray and Lovejoy, 1983, 1986).
When I turn to the substance of the defense that Eckhardt mounts for the Adorno et al. (1950) work, I am also saddened by the obviously very limited reading that he has done on his topic. He, in effect, asks me to rehash ancient history. He says that Adorno et al. (1950) provided validation for their scales "through interviews, projective tests, and known groups." Yet over 30 years ago it was shown that these procedures were very suspect, with interviewers (for instance) knowing in advance the scale scores of the people they were interviewing [see Christie and Jahoda (1954) and, more recently McKinney (1973)]. I would have thought that these two books alone show the Adorno et al. work to be no proof of anything.
Eckhardt, however, thinks otherwise and refers to the Adorno et al. findings that high F-scorers vote conservative, go to a mainstream church, and prefer business careers. He asks how this fits with my contention that the F scale is mainly an index of old-fashioned orientation. Before answering this it must be remembered that most of the people surveyed by Adorno et al. were undergoing some form of tertiary education. The responses found were, in other words, mostly the responses of college students. I would say, then, that Adorno et al. showed that in the 1940s old-fashioned students voted conservative, went to conservative churches, and respected business. This suggests that what was old-fashioned at that time also tended to be conservative.
The same may not be true today. With the innovations of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in mind, it may soon be old-fashioned to favor a paternalist State. It may be becoming old-fashioned to be liberal. It should be noted at this juncture that the movement toward a reduced role for government in the economy and in society generally (long advocated by anarchocapitalists) is not the sole province of conservatives. In Australia and New Zealand it is socialist (Labor) governments that are deregulating and beginning to sell off State property. Communist governments (the USSR and China) are also, of course, moving in that direction. Liberalism as we once knew it may well become very rare and old-fashioned indeed! Where liberalism may have been the "new wave" to students of the 40s, 5Os, and 60s, the "new wave" to the students of the 90s looks set to be an opposition to government generally that should be very congenial to those who have long promoted such ideas (anarchocapitalists and libertarians).
Eckhardt also seems to want me to explain why San Quentin convicts were more old-fashioned than other groups. The fact that the "other groups" were students in the main does I think of itself almost answer this. Education introduces people to a broader range of possibilities and whatever is new. Education works against one being old-fashioned. It makes you review things instead of just accepting them. So criminals (who are generally very poorly educated) [see Ray (1984b)] should be much more old-fashioned than students. The finding is good support for my account of what the F scale measures.
The finding is also good support for my contention that the F scale is a very strange measure of attitude to authority. On other, more straightforward, measures of attitude to authority, prisoners are very anti-authority (Ray, 1984b). On reflection, if criminals are not anti-authority, who would be? Yet Adorno et al. claimed them to be very pro-authority. If that is the criterion-groups validation that Eckhardt had in mind, then it certainly does not show the F scale as a valid predictor of authority-related behavior. Quite the reverse. An interpretation of the F scale as measuring old-fashioned outlook does, however, clear up such oddities. A fuller discussion of the relationship between criminality and authoritarianism can be found elsewhere (Ray, 1984b) if any reader should find the above brief discussion rather glib. Eckhardt asks me in effect to summarize in one brief paper what I have already devoted many papers to, so some compression of the discussion has to be attempted.
Eckhardt's suggestion that high F scorers are conformists does not, I believe, pose any difficulties for my account of things. Conformity may be more a thing of the past nowadays. There will surely always be some conformity but greater individualism does seem to be something of a catchcry these days. If so, it would be something that anarchocapitalists would applaud. We would like conformity to be old-fashioned.
Eckhardt's claim that authoritarians are punitive, however, simply shows that he is not up-to-date with the literature. My recent summary of the evidence for that claim (Ray, 1985a) may be of assistance. The study cited by Eckhardt in support of his contention (Elms and Milgram, 1966) has already been dissected in some detail elsewhere (Ray, 1976) so does not really need any further comment here. It may be interesting to report here, however, that a careful reading of the "Results" section of that study reveals findings which are quite the opposite of what Adorno et al. would predict. The study reveals that it is rebels, not conformists, who have had oppressive fathers.
Eckhardt also continues to rely on Adorno et al. for evidence about the relationship between conservatism and racism. As it happens, however, this is not a great problem. The many subsequent studies of student ideology also generally show such a relationship. It would be surprising if they did not. Both liberalism and anti-racism are normative parts of college culture so any student who has been socialized into the college culture should be both liberal and anti-racist. In college, the two are forced to go together.
The same, however, is not at all true among the population at large. General population studies (e.g., Ray and Lovejoy, 1986; Ray and Furnham, 1984; Sniderman et al., 1984) show little or no relationship between the two variables. The association is found only among the highly educated.
The only study using general population sampling and scales of known reliability that did find a notable association between racism and conservatism would appear to be that by Weigel and Howes (1985). Curious at the anomaly, I wrote to one of the authors of the study and obtained a copy of the "conservatism" scale used. It turned out to be almost a Leftist caricature of what conservatives believe. Most of the items turned out in fact to be expressing something perhaps best described as "Jingoism" (old-fashioned and exaggerated racial or national pride). It is little wonder that such a scale predicted racism but it tells us nothing useful about contemporary conservatism.
Eckhardt seems to have difficulty in understanding why Fascists should be more old-fashioned than Communists. A little of the history of the 1930s may help here. A very large element in Hitler's propaganda was an appeal to a romanticized agrarian past -- an appeal that has startling resonances in the environmentalist movement today. Hitler sought to find in the past the sources of racial virtue. You cannot get much more old-fashioned than that. The catchword of the Communists was, on the other hand, "new." "New" became almost a euphemism for "Leftist." There is still today in Sydney (Australia) a "New Theatre" which was at least at one time fairly closely associated with Australian Communists. Nowadays, of course, communism seems old and stale even to most Leftists but it was not always so. Eckhardt makes the mistake of looking at the antiquity of the ideology instead of its content.
Eckhardt goes on to quote studies showing that high scorers on the F scale tend to vote for conservative politicians. If I am not mistaken, all the studies cited are surveys of students. As already pointed out, a high F scale score among students may simply reflect failure to assimilate to the (liberal) college culture so a rejection of liberalism among such students is no surprise. Education functions to instruct people in the latest and greatest that a culture has to offer. So, where education is tied to liberalism, conservatism will tend to become identified with what is not the latest and greatest. Scales of old-fashioned orientation such as the F scale will therefore pick out people less attuned to the prevailing educational milieu -- which in the United States at the moment tends to mean those less attuned to liberalism. Among the general population, however, things are again much different. Summaries of that evidence can be found in Hanson (1975) and Ray (1983). The average F scores of those who vote for Leftist and Rightist political candidates and parties tend to differ very little in the general population. It is not at all rare for people who support candidates such as George McGovern to have high F scores.
All of Eckhardt's defenses of the F scale and the Adorno et al. work have therefore now been shown here to be based on a superficial knowledge of the literature.
Eckhardt's final comment on my paper before he goes on to a (very sound and honest) discussion of the politics of psychologists expresses some confusion about just what it means to be old-fashioned. I think he has a point. I should have made an earlier attempt to define both "old-fashioned" and "conservative." The first is, in fact, very easy. How about: "Feeling most at home with beliefs and values characteristic of the past?" It is the definition of conservatism which gives me (and others) the problem.
It might once have been reasonably heuristic to define conservatism as "preference for the status quo" but that would nowadays be little more than a Leftist caricature of conservatism. For a start, conservatives have always believed in "progress" and that belief today puts them at some odds with environmentalists. Who is it who defends the status quo? Surely it is the environmentalist, not the conservative! Winding back welfare also tends to be conservative, yet defending the status quo would surely require them to defend welfare. I have, once again, already discussed such problems at greater length elsewhere (Ray, 1981-1982) so I will here simply give the conclusion I arrived at then: Conservatives are people who are wary about the good intentions of others. They have a pessimistic view of human nature. There are still problems in this account of things but that would he the topic for another paper. All we need to see here is that there is no conceptual commonality between conservatism and old-fashioned orientation and that any relationship between the two should therefore be contingent. At times it will be old-fashioned to be conservative and at times it will be old-fashioned to be liberal. From the 1940s to the 1970s it was probably old-fashioned to be conservative. Times could change.
Eckhardt goes on to ask why allegiance to the values of the 1920s should make you anti-communist -- referring to the fact that the F scale tends to be negatively associated with Leftism in its various forms. Communism was quite fashionable in the 1920s, Eckhardt asserts. He is quite right. It was trendy among the intellectuals in particular. Pflaum (1964), however, collected "popular myths and superstitions" in the 1920s. He did not collect what was new vogue. He probably collected what was already old-fashioned in the 1920s. This is in harmony with Hartmann's (1977) characterization of the F scale as a measure of "Victorian" values. Nonetheless, it must be conceded that Pflaum could have found some Leftist beliefs to be popular at the time. That does not really matter. Eckhardt's belief that the F scale is negatively associated with Leftism among the general population is simply not in accord with the evidence -- as pointed out earlier (Ray, 1983).
Eckhardt's final thrust at me is to quote what I said in an earlier paper about authoritarianism being a part of conservatism and endeavoring to show that I say something different now. I am pleased to explain. As I have shown at greater length elsewhere (Ray, 1985b), there is a strange disjunction between attitudes and behavior. Both Leftists and Rightists seem equally likely to engage in authoritarian behavior but only the Rightists will defend their behaving in that way. Leftists simply deny all authoritarian motivations. This seems to me to be a prime Freudian symptom of an underlying adjustment problem but such a judgment would at this stage be only a speculation. It does seem, however, that Rightists are more in touch with their own motivations. So, if we are talking about attitudes, authoritarianism and conservatism are intimately associated. If we are talking about behavior, they are not.

I have made no effort to post my academic articles on the net in the order in which they were written -- though all the published ones are dated so any examination of the evolution of my views could readily be done.
My views have however changed little in the course of my lifetime -- unlike the major shifts from Left to Right that characterize many conservative intellectuals. I have only moved from the suspicion of government meddling that is characteristic of the conservative to the extreme suspicion of government meddling that is characteristic of the libertarian. I was however for a brief while persuaded that a full anarcho-capitalist program was feasible and the article above was written at that time. Subsequently, however, I have come to see such an absolute version of libertarianism as unrealistic and have reverted to minimal-statist views. Libertarians of all kinds -- Minimal Statists or otherwise -- share with conservatives a dislike of big government but differ from conservatives in that they see even the ideal conservative State as being still much more intrusive than is necessary.
My comment above that "Both Leftists and Rightists seem equally likely to engage in authoritarian behavior" is not one that I would now make. Christian conservatives in particular do have a record of attempts to impose their moral standards on others that I, like all libertarians, heartily reject but I think that such impositions are small beer compared to the all-embracing control that Leftists wish upon us. Christian bigots have never remotely shown the propensity for mass-murder that has characterized such good socialists as Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Pol Pot. Even King Charles IX of France killed only a few thousand Huguenots.
So I would also reword this sentence: "if we are talking about attitudes, authoritarianism and conservatism are intimately associated. If we are talking about behavior, they are not" to read: "if we are talking about attitudes, acceptance of some need for authority and conservatism are intimately associated. If we are talking about behavior, conservatives, unlike Leftists, are very wary about imposing any kind of authority".
It may also be noted that, as is appropriate in a psychology journal, I give a psychological definition of conservatism: "Conservatives are people who are wary about the good intentions of others. They have a pessimistic view of human nature". On the political level a historically fitting definition of conservatism would be: "Wariness about government power and a stress on the rights and liberties of the individual". See here for the history concerned.

Parkinsons disease (PD), the second most frequently occurring neurodegenerative disease in the world, is mainly characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the presence of insoluble proteic complexes, so-called Lewy bodies (LB), in the brain . LB are largely composed of fibrillary aggregates (amyloid) of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) protein, which suggests that aSyn plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. In addition, aSyn gene mutations and duplication/triplication are associated with hereditary forms of PD .
The aSyn protein is small (14 kDa), intrinsically disordered, and in vivo mainly expressed in dopaminergic neurons in the brain . In vitro aggregation experiments often make use of recombinantly produced aSyn. In test tubes aSyn aggregates into amyloid fibrils under a variety of environmental conditions (pH, salt, temperature, ..). Aggregation reactions can either be performed from only monomers in solution (unseeded) or in the presence of preformed fibril fragments (seeded) . Two types of seeded aggregations reactions are possible: homologously seeded aggregations (proteins of seeds have same sequence and structure as the monomers) and heterologously seeded aggregations (proteins of seeds have a different sequence and/or structure than the monomers) (Figure 2).
In heterologously seeded aggregations it is unclear what allows the seeds to transfer the amyloid fold. Considering the co-occurrence of different neurodegenerative protein aggregation diseases it is very interesting to study the ability of one amyloid protein to induce the aggregation of other amyloid proteins (so-called cross-seeding). Examples of cross-seeding include transfer of the amyloid fold between  aSyn mutants involved in hereditary forms of PD and wild-type aSyn and cross-seeding of an aSyn polymorph and the tau protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease .
In unraveling the mechanism of heterologous cross-seeding tracing down the localization of the initial seeds inside the formed fibrils is important . To determine the localization of the seeds fluorescently labelled monomers can be used to prepare seeds for cross-seeding another, differently labeled amyloid protein. Using a fluorescence microscope the seeds can be distinguished from the fibril extensions based on the wavelength of the fluorescence. The result of this procedure may however  be affected by the induction of a different seed morphology (= polymorphism) by using labeled monomers in preparation of the seeds.
The aggregation kinetics (unseeded, homologously seeded and heterologously seeded) and fibril morphology (using Atomic Force Microscopy) will be compared for unlabeled and labeled aSyn (wild-type and mutants). The results will indicate if fluorescently labeled monomers affect aggregation reactions.
An assay will be developed to specifically label the seeds part of heterologously seeded fibrils after finishing the aggregation reaction. In this way, a possible effect of the fluorescent label on the seed morphology is avoided.

EastEnders star Shona McGarty is to record her first pop songs after she was given some expensive studio time by Florence + the Machine's manager.
The 21-year-old star - who plays wild Whitney Dean in the BBC One soap - told The Sun newspaper: "I'm always writing and singing my own songs so I am going into the studio to record some of them."
Friends believe McGarty - who performed Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come on Children in Need - could quit EastEnders if she was offered a record deal.
One pal explained: "People liked her performance on Children in Need so who knows?"
But McGarty insists she has no plans to leave the programme, adding: "It isn't anything official, they are just for my own personal use. I have no plans to leave EastEnders."
Former EastEnders stars Martine McCutcheon, Sid Owen and Sean Maguire all formed pop careers following their stints on the show, while other famous soap stars including ex-Neighbours actress Kylie Minogue and Coronation Street's Tracy Shaw have also turned to music.

Multiply Motivation anytime you will be feeling good you’re more likely to live the life to see new encounters than if you were depressed. If you want to enhance your life, you have to rise inspiration and eagerness. The importance of a lot more to discover the gift.

I do not expect very much from you for fear you and your reindeer would get too tired of pulling in the snow. Because if I would tell you what all I want I guess you would fill your bag and you would not have place for the other children’s presents. I would like as a present from you a writing desk, piano, story book and some of games. Besides these presents I want candy, oranges, bananas and nuts. Dear Santa I hope you will not forget my baby sister. She is always complaining about a doll and a buggy for the doll. She will be very glad if you bring her these. Dear Santa. I suppose you don’t know my name and address so I will tell you it. This is all I have to write, dear Santa Claus. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. Yours truly.

Santa Claus, ball bearing roller skates. Goodbye until Christmas.
Dear Santa Claus: I am a little boy ten years old. I would like a pony. Last Christmas I got a motorcycle and my chum and I went out in the country and had a breakdown and we had to walk ten miles back, so I think I would rather have a pony. Don’t forget my chum, Joe Waywood. He wants a collie puppy and some nuts and candy. Goodbye.
ED DILS. P. S. I will leave the back gate open to put the pony in.
East Chicago, Ind., Dec. 16. 1909.
Dear Santa: I am your little friend. I am nine years old and would like a few things. All I want is a pair of rubbers, a cap with fur, and a pair of leggings, and a few goodies to eat. And dear Santa, of all the stocking’s you will find hanging in a row mine will be the longest one, you will surely know. And dear Santa, on the table there will be a lunch for you, and don’t be bashful—just help yourself. I know you will be cold and hungry.

Hammond, Ind., Dec; 17, 1909.
Dear Santa Claus: I thought I would write you a letter, too. I only want a nice game for Christmas. Of course, you can stick in some nuts and candy if you want to. If you have any extra knives you might leave me one of them, too. I guess I’m not very good because I can get mad at the baby when she tears up my playthings. But I hope you will forget all about that at Christmas time and put my name in your book, too. Now, dear Santa Claus, please remember all the rest of the family, but whatever you do don’t forget me. I go to Lincoln school in room four, and I guess they all know me on the north side.
Dear Santa Claus: I see so many letters in the paper that you want us to write to you and tell you what we want for Xmas. Well I do not want very much. I lost my dear papa this August 5, 1909. It was by an accident, and I wish my papa for present. My mamma is working by Minsbery. Please don’t forget her. Goodbye. Your true loving friend.
MILDRED MAHER P. S. We have a furnace so I will leave the front door open for you. If it is dark turn on the light, it is the last one in the hall.
Dear Santa Claus: I am a little girl eight years old. I am going to tell you what I want for Christmas. I want a set of dishes, two books, a set of furs, some dresses, candy and nuts. I suppose Santa you are getting old and cross. I will not tell you to bring much this year until there is a younger Santa Claus. My father is dead and my mother works hard every day. Please don’t forget the poor children whose fathers were killed in the mine at Cherry, Ill. I suppose you have heard about it. My stocking will be hanging up by the chimney. Please don’t come down the chimney because it is dirty and there is a fire in the stove. I will have the door open. Don’t forget grandma and mama. From your little girl.

If you are familiar with Barbados or have visited the country before, there is a good chance that you are familiar with the beautiful Sandy Lane area. This area is named after the prestigious hotel that is located there, though it is really I the parish of St.. James. The nearby areas are Paynes Bay, Fitts Village, Batts Rock Bay, Holetown, Folkestone Marine Park, and Alleynes Bay, with all of these areas found in the West Coast of the country. If you are unfamiliar with this area and plan to take a trip to Barbados, this is an excellent area to consider.
Although the beach is named for the resort, there are other lodging options available in the area as well. Also, the beach itself, like all beaches in Barbados, is completely public. There are often beach chair vendors available there that you can rent and use during your stay. You can usually rent umbrellas as well to protect you from the tropical heat to enjoy your beach day.
Another important feature to note is that between July and October, you can often see Hawksbill turtles nesting on this beautiful Barbados beach. Of course, you should avoid any nests you see for the safety of the turtles, but there are a few things better than watching them make their journey to sea. Also, some have been lucky enough to swim alongside some of the larger, friendly adult turtles. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and a great teaching experience for children of all ages.
Obviously, if you are staying in the area, you will want to do more than stay at the beach all day. Although there are not a lot of restaurants in the smaller Sandy Lane area, there are several in the nearby Holetown area. You can find more casual beach bars that are great for a quick lunch or a fun evening out, but you can also find higher end restaurants that are a great date night for honeymooners. Plus, you will find many stores in the area that are known for their duty-free shopping.

Did you know that planting two medium sized trees produces enough oxygen for one person for a year? With that in mind, we are building a program where you can purchase a tree to donate to a local nonprofit. The program is still being developed, but we are excited about it - you pick out & purchase the tree, we contact the nonprofit & plant the tree, and the tree begins the process of offsetting carbon footprints. Lots of winners in this equation! Please contact Cold Mountain Nursery by email at coldmtnnsy@bellsouth.net or by phone at 828-235-9441 or 828-507-5236 ot learn more.

At this point in the 2016 presidential election, it now seems that both major parties have selected their “presumptive” nominee: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for the Republicans.
Nice analysis. But I do hope they stay home.
I like your Dad’s rock painting.
Thank you, Janet. My dad wasn’t a big rock fan, but he painted some to please his sons. That painting was from Live Aid, held in Philadelphia, so definitely on my dad’s radar.

In an effort to help locate missing children in the US, Facebook will send out AMBER Alerts on its Web and mobile apps to users in targeted areas.
The alerts, issued by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and local or state police, include photos and details about the missing children and will show up by default on the News Feed — the first screen shown to users when they log in to Facebook.
AMBER Alerts previously came through Facebook pages set up for individual states, and users had to opt in to receive notifications.

Shirley Karr was author of the month in, I don't know, about July in my Historical Romance Chat yahoo group - I'm only a few months late! LOL!
What's a lord to do?
The devilishly attractive Earl of Sinclair is having trouble holding onto servants, what with so many of them pairing up and running off to be wed. Luckily, his able new secretary, J. Quincy, seems scrupulously loyal, and possesses the invaluable ability to flawlessly forge the master's signature. But imagine Sinclair's surprise when he discovers the "J" stands for "Josephine." His cherished employee is, in actuality, a quite delectable lady in disguise!
Jo desperately needs this position, and never actually lied about her genderÂthough she didn't expect Sinclair's keen eye to expose the truth so quickly. If the ton finds out, the scandal could be devastating. But Jo believes she can still be of service to the dashing lord. The greatest difficulty, however, will be keeping her mind on business with Sinclair standing so tantalizingly, intoxicatingly close. And what this earl wants, he usually gets!
I'm going to state straight up that I gave this book a rating of 3.5/5, but as I sit here thinking about what to write I can't help but think I have been a bit harsh, and yet.....not really.
The thing is that I have read most of this book, or more precisely the ideas in this book, more than once before and it didn't feel really fresh at all. There are some authors who can write cliches and they are still fresh as a daisy, and others where it doesn't. That's not to say that this book wasn't enjoyable, because it was. The relationship was satisfying enough. Maybe my issue was really about the pacing which was quite up and down. There were long parts of the books where the characters were gallivanting around the place, and then long stretches where there was little movement, because Sinclair had to recover from his injuries.
I don't think I really get the whole woman dressed as a man thing either - a gorgeous woman isn't recognisable at all when dressed as a man. Hmmm. The other thing was that Jo was one of those heroines who has given up all hope of a future because she is making sacrifices for her family. Yes, it undoubtedly happens, but it was laid on a little thick for my liking!
I didn't dislike this book at all really. There were some fun ideas in it, like the fact that the heroes staff kept on pairing up and leaving him. I liked it enough to have already got the author's next book out of the library...it just wasn't exceptional for me.
The 'meh' book reviews are the hardest to write. I remember reading on of MJD's books and I enjoyed it while I read it but when I went to write up something it turned out the book was completely forgettable.
Yes, exactly. I didn't hate it so I can't point out pages and pages of things that I didn't really like, but then the opposite wasn't true either!

People with autism are often hypersensitive to auditory incentives. Wearing good hearing protection can provide a impressive results!
Children and (young) adults with autism often suffer from hypersensitivity to stimuli, especially auditive stimuli. For example, a ticking clock can be too much. People with autism are often constantly fighting against this flood of stimuli: they lose their concentration faster and get tired sooner. Wearing good hearing protection can provide a real solution!
NOIZEZZ has developed earplugs specifically for the most sensitive ears. When wearing these earplugs the ambient noise is dampened by means of the mild filter. This way you are less affected by auditory stimuli, but you can follow the conversation well.
More rest in your life with only two small earplugs. Of course this sounds great. But let’s see what the earplugs really mean for people with autism.

I turned 22 again this year and my nature loving wife managed to surprise me with a weekend in Idyllwild in the sweetest cabin I've ever stayed in. 100 wife points goes straight to rad wife.
1 hour later everything looked like this. Followed by a smol blizzard.
This place is super beautiful, clean, and best of all barely has any people. I don't know why I haven't been here yet, but I would say it probably has a lot to do with being so close to Joshua Tree. It's a not so hidden gem. Most people want ski resorts with their mountains, so this place manages to avoid heavy tourists and thus completely avoid commercial chain stores. No Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, etc. Just little mountain shops and nice people.
THIS is what Royal Robbins used to prepare himself for El Cap. 1k foot multi pitch and the center piece for Idyllwild. There are all kinds of rad stories about this beautiful granite cone. Will be stoked to climb stuff like this in the future and that some of my friends have crushed this.

Transparent conductive adhesives (TCAs) can enable conductivity between two substrates, which is useful for a wide range of electronic devices. Here, we have developed a TCA composed of a polymer-particle blend with ethylene-vinyl acetate as the transparent adhesive and metal-coated flexible poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres as the conductive particles that can provide conductivity and adhesion regardless of the surface texture. This TCA layer was designed to be nearly transparent, conductive in only the out-of-plane direction, and of practical adhesive strength to hold the substrates together. The series resistance was measured at 0.3 and 0.8 O cm2 for 8 and 0.2% particle coverage, respectively, while remaining over 92% was transparent in both cases. For applications in photovoltaic devices, such as mechanically stacked multijunction III-V/Si cells, a TCA with 1% particle coverage will have less than 0.5% power loss due to the resistance and less than 1% shading loss to the bottom cell.

Well, here it is-game one of the Redskins 2014 season.
A lot of questions are floating around Skins fanland and at least some of them look to be answered Sunday.
Texans fans have questions of their own, most are pretty confident but here and there a few fans voiced concerns about what the Redskins have-or what they might not have-that might prove...shall we say..troublesome?
to make Houston RGIII's new least favorite place to visit, and with home field advantage the Texans win 20 - 13.
Yes, there are Griffin fans among the Texans faithful as well.
It's interesting that I find Aussie NFL fans all over-just about every NFL team has fans in Australia.
If this was @ Washington, I would be much more concerned - NRG (formerly Reliant) is the third loudest stadium in the NFL.
especially fun considering all the negative nancys we have around right now.
But smile i'm here to pump some sunshine into your anti positive no rainbow in the sky sucky perspectives.
I don't see a way that Washington can block JJ/Clowney.
-- that is, of course, only if Fitz stays healthy..
getting taken to the cleaners or us doing it to Washington.
I am expecting some nice "replay" plays from our defensive front. Other than that, I got no idea whatsoever.
Skins offense is all out of whack w RG3 back there. I expect our defense to dominate.
Swearinger got a taunting penalty late in the 4th quarter on a 3rd down sack by Mercilus that let to the second 'Skins TD and a 14-12 lead.
is immediately named the Week 2 starter in the post-game presser.
In one thread about the game an interesting conversation about Arian Foster emerged.
Foster still wants to play.
There's not really questions as to if he'll play, but there are big questions as to how well he'll play. He's not really a "love of the game"
important, or more important than football.
Not sure what makes you say that. He always brought his game up another level in big games. Sure looks like he loved to play to me.
throwing the flag anytime a defender lays a hand on a receiver, and I just don't see these defenses adjusting very well to that.
everyone here knows I'm never this optimistic.
game plan in the preseason. That is what I am looking forward to watching.
the Texans to put up points, they just have to run ball effectively in the first half and tire out the redskins by the fourth.
effective. Watt, Clowney, and Cushing should be devastating.
One of the best "objective" breakdowns I found on a Texans fan board was the OP of one game thread from a member called lumberjack.
monster of a pass rush in Brian Orakpo, and Ryan Kerrgian. The question for Washington is, can RG3 stay healthy.
rushes in the league. With the addition of a big NT, which we've always wanted, and the return of our D's heart and soul in ILB Brian Cushing.
RT Derick Newton is, or will he require the help of new TE Fiedo. Are Arian Foster, and JJoe fit for return after missing the whole preseason?
Washington's pass catchers? These and many more things we will find our Sunday afternoon.
1) Establish the ground game with whoever is effective at RB, to open up the back end of the Skins D.
nightmare, whether he be covered by a DB in Swearinger, or one of our LB's. If Washington wins, he'll have a big game.
I agree with all those keys.
AF needs to have a statement game IMO. I think he will get 200 all purpose yards and 2 TDs. He is gonna be very hungry to prove himself.
many times in the past, they need to show they are better than that.
Special teams looked great in the pre-season, hopefully they continue to look good.
Sunday, but it will be fairly close.
Texans fan since the day the franchise was announced. So I want my team to win, is this like having your cake and eating it too?
Who wins..... LOL, this one has WAY to many question marks. We will know better by 3 pm (CDT) Sunday afternoon.
Fritz shows up (I give Skins 28 because, like I say, I do want RGIII to have a good game).
Now if the "other Fritz" shows up, humm, not even going to guess the outcome.
We need to win this game and start the season off strong.
I strongly disagree, the closer we are to a top 5 pick the closer we are to our franchise QB.
chance to show his stuff, y'know?
Tuggle the whole offseason workouts. Please stay healthy Cushing!

Patient had old dentistry that he maintained over the years but that was wearing and now had a bite collapse. He felt he was looking older and that his teeth could be better looking. He was breaking posterior teeth as well. We rebuilt his bite with all porcelain crowns on his upper teeth, and all porcelain crowns on his lower teeth. We restored 28 teeth to perfect this full mouth reconstruction.

I was recently in an organic market and sampled some of the finest olive oil I've ever tasted. I bought a bottle, and I'm now looking for ways to maximize my enjoyment of it. I'm familiar with dipping bread into the oil, and this seems to bring out the taste with few distractions. On the other hand, mixing the oil in a salad dressing hides some of the qualities among all the other tastes (herbs, vinegar, etc.). My question is, what are some simple ways to maximize the enjoyment of olive oil?
In this part of the world, around the rim of the mediterranean, olive oils is very definitely used to dress a salad. This is not usually done by emulsifying everything in a shaker though. Generally, the salad is seasoned with salt and pepper, then drizzled generously with olive oil and a little lemon juice or good wine/balsamic vinegar. This allows the flavour of the oil to stand, and it is nicely complemented by the other secondary flavours.
Olive oil is also used to complement the flavour of fish, baked in foil in the oven after being brushed with olive oil and seasonings. This imparts a special aroma and flavour to the fish.
The best, and simplest in my opinion, is when for supper or breakfast we just slice some vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, carrots) and drizzle them with olive oil, to be eaten as part of the meal.
A good oil is enjoyable in any dish, but if you want the taste of the oil to dominate, there is no better vehicle than starch. First, starchy foods don't have strong aromas on their own, so they don't overpower the oil. Seond. Pure oil is unpleasantly heavy. Starches do a good job of soaking themselves up with the oil, allowing you to use more oil without the food becoming greasy.
My favorit way to showcase oils is a veloute. This is a sauce made from a very light roux and light stock. I prefer chicken or vegetable stock for that (but no ushrooms, their umami makes it too strong for my taste). I combine this sauce with blandish meat (chicken breasts, or boiled pork). It also goes well with vegetables which have a weaker taste and don't hve much freshness, grassy notes or acidity. White asparagus and zucchini work great, tomatoes are definitelly out. I/e had people eat my sauce of this type with another starch (rice, spelt noodles), but I don't like this combination much.
Other starchy combinations than a roux are definitelly possible. You can make mashed potatoes and use the oil instead of butter, you can use it in a pilaf... Just let your phantasy run free.
No matter how you use it, there are two things to consider. First, the taste is enhanced when the oil is served warm. But don't take it to frying temperatures, that ruins the taste (there is a reason for "cold pressed"). Second, make only very delicate flavor combinations. Combine with a single herb/spice, or not at all. Don't use herbs and spices which are too strong (e.g. Spearmint). If you use herbs, this is one of the rare situations where dried herbs are preferrable.
If you want a protein-based pairing, there are still ideas to work with. For example a simple bean soup (ripe beans) with lots of oil in it (lentil should work too). Or pieces of cheese (feta is best) drizzed with the oil, served as antipasti. Again, avoid strong aromas from other ingredients.
one way i've found to enjoy quality olive oils is to simply drizzle it over steamed or pan-seared vegetables, with just a little salt and pepper sprinkled on top.
Turkish cuisine has an entire 'branch' dedicated to olive oil dishes. Vegetables such as green beans, eggplants, leeks or artichokes are simmered in a great deal of olive oil along with tomatoes, onions and red pepper paste.
The simmer is as light as possible and is done for a while - about 45 minutes for a pound of green beans. Served cold, the dish is entirely imparted with the taste and slickness of the olive oil and is delicious with yogurt and crusty bread.
Although it may not be considered a 'pure' taste since it is diluted with the water of the tomato and other ingredients, the olive oil is the dominant flavor in the dish and a higher quality olive oil always shines through. The low temperature of cooking also probably better preserves the flavor of it.
Fill a bowl with fine sea salt (be surprised to taste different salts, some of them are delicious!) and add your olive oil. Chop raw vegetables of the season like carrots, cucumber, peppers or whatever is available on your fresh, local market. Dip the vegetables and make sure to also take up some salt from the bottom of the bowl.
Remaining olive oil can be reused.
For the frying period I use another vegetable oil like sunflower oil (just sufficent enough to fry, not too much) and when I finish with the frying period and after adding all other ingredients, then on top of all I add 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil and leave it to cook. The reason of adding olive oil later is to get the best taste of olive oil without burning it.
*When two different oils are combined, the total amount of oil should be taken care of in order not to use too much oil.
after flavouring it with some thyme (hand grated), I use it for cooking baked meat + vegetable dishes .
after flavouring it with desired herb(s ) and/or spices, I simply split it over cheese/olives to enrich the taste of them.
I also use olive oil in baking fish; especially big ones (with parsley, onion, bay leaf & lemon slice).
one Italian lazy classic is to use the oil to dress pasta. Of course, the quality of the pasta becomes fundamental: you should get at least Barilla.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water, drain very thoroughly, plate, drizzle olive oil with a generous but wise hand. I like mine with grated Parmesan cheese. A pinch of black pepper may help. No oregano, no basil, nothing else, NOOOOOTHIN' (you should imagine me speaking with a thick Italian accent here).

The Malaysian Amateur Radio Emergency Service Society (MARES / 9M4CME) has called on hams in and around India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, the Seychelles, and Thailand to participate in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER aircraft (registration 9M-MRO ) Flight MH370. The airliner with 239 passengers aboard has been missing since March 8. Investigators believe the plane was diverted on purpose by someone who knew how to turn off the aircraft’s communication and tracking systems.
Nets have been established from 1300 to 1500 UTC on 14.250 MHz and 21.250 MHz. Outside of net sessions, MARES requests any urgent traffic be routed to it via e-mail. MARES said it will forward all information and evidence obtained to the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation and Malaysian National Security Council. No trace of the plane has been located since its disappearance less than an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur on its way to Beijing.

We provide a range of different sand dressed services for 2G grass sports pitches at schools, clubs and leisure centres throughout the UK. As this specification of surfacing is most commonly used for hockey pitches, our services focus around installation and maintenance of hockey surfacing. We also provide additional fencing, floodlighting and sports equipment for these areas to make the as efficient as possible.
There are a number of designs available for these pitches and we can customise the appearance and playing qualities to suit you. Whether you want to create a recreational practise area or a pitch for competitive matches, we’ll have the perfect specification. Just contact us today to speak to an expert about the costs for all of our services. Make sure to give us as much information as possible about the required work so we can put together an accurate quote.
A sand dressed pitch is a 2G artificial grass surface which is typically used for playing hockey. It is a synthetic turf carpet which is designed to mimic natural playing qualities and offer good ball roll characteristics. These are frequently installed at schools and sports clubs as they are much more durable and strong compared to natural turf.
There is a thin layer of sand installed within the grass fibres of sand dressed surfacing to keep them stable and allow the ball to glide smoothly. This is why 2G surfaces are ideal for hockey pitch facilities as they provide the most effective performance. The carpet surfacing we supply as part of our sand dressed services is hard wearing, durable and provides excellent performance and safety characteristics for both professional and recreational use.
Our team are able to complete a full installation for one of these facilities. The sand dressed pitch construction process will be carried out to suit the client’s budget and performance requirements. Generally the work will involve preparing the groundworks, fitting a sub base, laying the synthetic carpet and applying the sand infill over the top. We are also able to supply extra features like secure fencing to go around the perimeter, or floodlights to extend the usability of the pitch.
The costs and prices of the sand dressed services we provide will of course vary for each project, depending on the specification of work and the existing conditions of the area. We can help you keep costs down by compromising on certain aspects of a 2nd generation surfacing installation, such as the surface specification and the extra equipment you choose to install. Our aim is to give you great value construction and cleaning services for your hockey pitch which give you the top quality end result you want at a price to fit within your budget.
What Size is a Sand Dressed Court?
There are no set dimensions for our sports surfaces as the sizes can be altered to suit each client. If you have limited outdoor space we can reduce the size to fit with this, or if you have a big area you might choose to create a multi use facility. We could also make the dimensions smaller to cut costs of you need to stick to a budget and can’t afford to install a full sized pitch. It’s completely customisable, and if you only need to have a recreational facility then the area can be as small or big as you like.
The size obviously has an impact on the overall price of the work, so this is something to bear in mind when looking to complete a project like this. If you let us know how much you would like to spend and what playing qualities you need, we’ll make sure the overall design and dimensions are suited to this.
Cleaning and maintenance is also included as one of our sand dressed services for hockey pitches as it’s important to look after a 2G artificial grass surface once it has been installed. Sand dressed pitch maintenance can include regular brushing and clearing the surface of any dirt and debris to prevent the infill becoming contaminated. If the sand infill particles do become contaminated by dirt, this can lead to a loss of porosity which affects the drainage qualities and ultimately means that the pitch could become waterlogged or flooded. Artificial grass surface rejuvenation may be required if the surfacing becomes very dirty, this involves extraction of the contaminated infill and installation of a new layer of clean sand which revives the pitch and improves the playing quality.
Carrying out regular cleaning and maintenance for a hockey surface can also help cut costs for the overall sports facility as it keeps the pitch in top condition and reduces the likelihood of any damage or weathering affecting the surface. This damage could be costly to repair in the future if your 2G pitch isn’t looked after, so it’s important to include cleaning and maintenance costs when planning a budget for a construction project. Having a great quality 2G sports facility is an investment for your organisation, so it’s vital that it gives the best possible performance and safety characteristics and can be enjoyed for a long time by everyone who uses it.
We have worked with numerous different clients including schools, colleges and leisure centres when building these facilities. As sand dressed suppliers and installers there are lots of options that we can offer to customise the final product and make it exactly what you want. For organisations who want to focus on playing hockey, this is the perfect specification as it provides ideal playing qualities for training and matches.
Please fill in our enquiry form if you need more information on the service we provide for hockey pitches in the UK. One of our experienced team members will get back to you with an idea of costs for the work. The prices tend to vary depending on locations, area sizes and many other factors, but we’ll do our best to make it affordable for you.

The New Zealand dollar started out pegged to the US dollar. In 1985 it was floated on the open market and has steadily grown in trading popularity until today, when it is the world’s 10th most traded currency.
The relationship between the pound and New Zealand dollar has been a volatile one, with the pound reaching all-time strength against the dollar in August 1992, at NZ$3,707. The dollar went through a period of gaining strength during the early 2000s, reaching highs of NZ$1,793 in 2013.

You guys, I haven’t blogged in so long I think I might have forgotten how to. I’m so sorry to all of you who have been asking for blogposts, the truth is I genuinely haven’t felt like doing it. I’m not sure why, I’ve been putting it off for the longest time because I don’t see the point in blogging if my heart isn’t in it. As most of you know I was in Dubai for a month and just got back to London recently. I honestly feel so refreshed after that break away, feel like my batteries have been recharged.
It’s a new year and I’m going to make a solid effort to blog more often. Aydin is now 9 months old and has settled into a proper routine so that gives me more time to myself too.
Okay so moving on….I know the blogpost you are all waiting for is HOW I lost all my baby weight. I have been asked that from so many of you on both Instagram and Snapchat! I will be doing that for my next post, don’t worry I promise I will. I just wanted to make sure the post will actually be helpful to you guys and not just useless info.
Today however I just wanted to talk about how my life has changed since becoming a mom. I was honestly so scared about becoming a mother because I just didn’t think I had it in me to do it all and more. And I guess thats a normal thought to have, but I have to say when your little one arrives you just get on with it and it all comes to you. He has just fitted himself into our lives and now I honestly can’t remember what I did with all my free time before!
I know a lot of you follow me on Instagram and Snapchat but I got a message the other day from someone saying she loves my snaps but doesn’t know much about me. That got me thinking that this is probably true, I’m actually quite a private person in some ways. So would you guys like to know more about me? Things like where I grew up? (It’s not Pakistan or Canada!). Or what I do as a career? If you have any questions like that send them to me via my email (dulcevitabyj@gmail.com), or on Snapchat/IG and I’ll do a blogpost to answer them all!
You are the perfect little family <3 Trying to wait patiently for updates to this blog!
Hello there! It's nice to be here. You have an amazing blog, friend!

Father, I ask You within the name of Jesus to ship ministering spirits to usher in prosperity and funds into my enterprise. We are all victims.. you understand. of huge greed. and now we have let it occur. So,I’m wondering why there isn’t a march on Washington.. or no less than on the banks! Verification of Memorandum: Memorandum is began of the corporate. It deals with exterior affairs of the corporate. Out of its clauses, the knowledge written beneath objects clause, legal responsibility clause and capital clause is helpful to auditor.

They went on to argue that small enterprises are very totally different from giant ones in the space of borrowing by small enterprises, lack of long-time period debt finance and completely different taxation provisions. Another means of measuring as as to if prices are cheap is to calculate the working bills as a percentage of gross sales and compare them to a similar company or to the business average.

I am thinking about running an event on Wed night to go back and do all the 5 and 10 man dungeons. The ones we all skipped along the way to leveling our characters. Mostly for the cheev's but also to explore and embrace the content. I am looking for a response. If I get enough interest I will set-up the event. I can Tank but will need a heal and the dps. At least 1 support would also be nice. Will start at the bottom and work our way up to the higher level zones. post a response if you're interested or msg me in-game.
V .... I love the idea. I haven't done a lot of the old dungeons and would love to do them and Weds evenings would work.
Wed. evenings after six EST is good for me. I can bring a Guardian or a Ranger. I can switch the Ranger to healing gear if you need.
We can do most of these without having to pug, so just have to show up as long as your between level 20 and 65 you can run, don't have to be max level. Although if you are the level 70 dungeons aren't so bad now.
Wednesday is good for Alauniira and I. Can fill almost any role really up till 50.
Sounds fun, Nul is healer or dips depending on which tree.
Hi - I am back after a long break and ready to Rift again into 2019. I'd like to do the dungeons also.

I researched dentists in Chiang Mai a lot before I settled on one. There are a lot of opinions out there, as well as dentist and clinic names, and it can get very confusing – even more so if you’re a blonde like me.
This one didn’t have a lot of reviews from falang (foreigners) online, but what I did read was favourable. Also, the locals recommended him and to top things off nicely, he is just around the corner from where we are staying (Top North Guesthouse). His clinic’s name is Pongsakorn and he’s on the corner of Moonmuang Road and Soi 2. I’ve had a lot of work done by him in the last few days and I’ve found him to be a good dentist, an honest man and he charges very fair prices for his work. And, especially wonderful for one who has had a mortal fear of dentists all her life, I actually had several fillings done without anaesthetic and it was painless. For me, this is a veritable miracle! I just had a crown replaced by him and it is much better than the original one I had done in New Zealand. He sent me to have a root canal done by an associate, and she was wonderful too. Quiet, painless and very delicate on the mouth. Her clinic is Smile 2 U. I’m not sure of her address but she is across the Mae Ping river. Google should bring up her address.

As the term implies, flatbed trucking is a type of shipment using flatbed trucks. The type of vehicle used for this type of trucking differs mainly because of the absence of enclosed containers. These trucks are used when items to be shipped are irregular in size or that might be too big for containers cube vans carry.
Due to the absence of doors and roofs, goods transported through flatbed trucks are retained by ropes or chain. This also requires that loads shipped using this truck are not delicate and prone to effects of weather.

As we approach the beginning of a new program year, it is a great time to remember how each and every one of us can help newcomers feel at home. As our sanctuary fills up on Sunday mornings, smile and, whenever possible, move in toward the middle of the pews to make space for others to find a seat. If there are seat savers on the pews, please do not move them, as children and parishioners working during the service plan to join their friends and family later. Don’t forget to wear your nametags! Let’s celebrate another blessed year together and welcome everyone. Thank you!

Do as I say, not as I do. – My thoughts on a page.
Do you have children? Do you often find yourself telling them one thing while doing another? (If not don’t read on because I don’t think you and I will get on).
You see for years now I’ve been warning my gang about the dangers of the internet…don’t give away personal details, don’t ‘talk’ to people you don’t know and never, ever arrange to meet someone you only know online. Thankfully my words of wisdom have been heeded and to date they have come to no harm. However I am now in a rather peculiar position, (not literally, in fact I’m sitting very comfortably on my couch as I type), because come Saturday I’m actually going to meet someone I only know online.
Don’t let your imaginations run wild, I’m not cheating on himself, (and if I were I’d not be announcing it here). I am in fact meeting a fellow blogger who is travelling to Ireland from the United States for a holiday. However when I told my gang they read me the riot act.
Me… I’m meeting someone next Saturday.
All of them… A stranger!
Me… Well no. I know her online.
All of them… No you don’t. You only think you do.
Me…No I do. I know quite a bit about her.
All of them… Only what she wants you to know.
Me… Well I know she’s living in the U.S.
All of them… You think. She might be making that up.
All of them… Google images.
Me… She’s coming here on holidays and I said I’d meet her.
All of them…OMG she’s stalking you and is now meeting you for the kill.
Me… I’m not talking to you lot anymore.
Me… Well I’m going because she’s a lovely lady and I’m looking forward to meeting her.
There I left it, but I suppose they do have a point. Regularly I ‘talk’ to strangers here on wordpress and facebook without for a moment feeling I am doing anything dangerous. In fact over the past three years I have found my online ‘friends’ a godsend, offering tremendous support during some very challenging times.
So this Saturday I will go and meet my online buddy, Beth from ‘I didn’t have my glasses on’ but if you don’t hear from me by Monday….
I hear that. I guess the difference is a 10 year old is more likely to believe that it really IS Harry Styles sending her those sweet messages compared to a 20 or 30-something who jolly well knows better, hehe.
Yes it’s comparing apples and oranges really.
I’m looking forward to meeting this buddy as we have been ‘friends’ three years now.
Hi Tric, I’m certain you’re perfectly safe with Beth, whom I’m hoping to meet too, BUT I must admit to having met a few verrrrry odd-bods through my online pursuits ~ especially male ones that related to possible work. My word, what creeps lie in the long grass of the web!
Really! Yikes that doesn’t sound great. Creeps.
I’m really looking forward to meeting Beth. Great to hear you are too. Funny isn’t it that she’ll have met both of us yet we ve never met. Yet!
We’ll have to put the latter to rights one of these days.
Cool. If my Ma was meeting someone on-line I’d think she was very hip altogether. Perhaps we’ll get chance to collide in person some day. Your gang will probably suspect I’m a German truck driver Claus.
Oh I definitely have you down as psycho.
Yes indeed this is a small country I’m sure some day our paths will cross.
Haha. Yes it will be fun.
I’ve met up with a number of people who I have met through blogging and I think that meeting a blogger you have interacted with over time is a lot different from meeting someone you met elsewhere online. And I am sure you’re meeting in a somewhat public place. I think I’ve met about seven or eight fellow bloggers and am always up to meeting more should the opportunity arise. I think you’ll have a ball!
I’ve little doubt Ill be safe as houses. I’ve met a few Irish bloggers at blog events but never away from blogging. I’m really looking forward to it.
so funny, tric. some people are so surprised I’m meeting up with you too, but most just chalk it up to another of my adventures. so looking forward to saturday! i’m a kindy teacher, and i’ll be with my friend karen who is the same and we are generally quite harmless and quite friiendly )) life is short, let’s live it!
Tric – she says she’s normal but ask her how big the container of fish food is that she uses for her classroom aquarium. No one normal ever buys that size. Beware!
an excellent point, paul. yikes, i’ve been found out!
I’m well warned now. Thanks Paul. I might just slip in that question.
https://ididnthavemyglasseson.com/?s=fish+food Almost as big as the aquarium!
i can’t wait to meet up and who knows what will happen, but that’s the fun of it, isn’t it?
I’ll keep you posted. It’ll be lovely to meet her.
I’m not sure who you should call, but surely one of us will make it back alive.
I am sure you will Tric…I’m not worried about either of you.
I think it’s marvelous. You get a sense of who’s who and what’s fishy from the comments. You know who’d be great to have a cup of coffee or a beer with after their comments and following their blogs. Most bloggers are pretty open with what they write – have a fun time and tell the story. Enjoy your weekend.
Yes I agree. I’ve been conversing with beth three years and as you say you do get a measure of the person. I’ll let you know if I’m wrong but I think she and I will get on famously.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…….yeah but wait…….. how do we really know you? How do I really know you say “feck” only how the Irish can say it? How do I know you really say ‘himself’? How do I know HOW DO I KNOW? Now I have to go to Ireland to see for myself. Tell Beth to wait until I get there. We’ll meet you together. There’s safety in numbers.
I met up with somebody I only knew online last year. I have to be honest, I can be more than a little naive about people… But it went so well, an absolutely wonderful experience. The person I met in the flesh was just like the person I knew online, only more so (if that makes sense). I’m sure you’ll both have a grand time!
Yes you make perfect sense. I feel I ‘know’ beth relatively well so I’m looking forward to meeting her in the flesh. Glad you’d a positive experience too.
I’ve just started doing some Craig’s List, after all the above-mentioned worries by advisors. I’ve met some interesting people there, an unexpected benefit of Craig’s. I do follow rules to insure everyone’s safety, like meeting in a central location, like a coffee shop.
I’d like to meet ksbeth, too, when she comes to Savannah.
Stepping boldly forward into the unknown . . .
I survived Deb! It was great craic. She was such easy company and we never ran out of chat. Great fun.
I’m so glad you all had a great time!
So far, I have met up with one blogging pal who lives locally, and one fellow runner from Australia I met on a running forum. In both cases my children reacted like yours. In both cases, I met lovely people. I think we parents get more reckless in our old age – even if it is just taking the “risk” of drinking tea with a complete stranger 🙂 Hope you’re ok – I haven’t been online for ages.
Hey, lovely to see you around these parts again. All good with me thank goodness. I hope you’re all okay?
I met my ‘pal’ Beth on Saturday and I’d a great time. Really enjoyed it.
I’m very glad Beth turned out not to be a mad axe murderer after all.
She was great company. I’d say it was the Irish bit of her.
How amazing that you’re meeting up with Beth. Have a wonderful time.. I would love to meet up with her myself and Colleen… there’s lots I want to gab about.

A number of Slovenes have recently received notification of traffic offences committed in Italy or Austria that were written in Italian or German respectively. This is an infringement of their fundamental rights. Directive (EU) 2015/413 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2015 facilitating cross-border exchange of information on road-safety-related traffic offences stipulates that in information letters providing notification of traffic offences foreign authorities must use the language of the registration document of the vehicle or one of the official languages of the Member State of registration.
1. Can the Commission confirm that the requirement to send information letters in the language of the Member State of registration applies to authorities at all levels — local, regional and federal?
2. How is the Commission monitoring the implementation of this directive in Italy and Austria, and what is its assessment of that implementation?
3. What action does it intend to take to ensure that the directive is correctly implemented in Italy and Austria?

CCF is a leading NGO that works on raising awareness on multiculturalism and elimination of racial discrimination in Fiji. We believe to address and eliminate racial discrimination in Fiji, we need to talk about it and bring it to the surface to be addressed like how the issue of domestic violence and climate change is taking the centre stage in Fiji at the moment.
Ethnicity is still an issue in Fiji and will always be because we are a nation of diverse ethnicities. Racism has been side- lined as a sensitive or taboo subject in Fiji. We are still a long way to ensure a genuine co-existence between different ethnic groups for a sustainable peaceful island nation. It is evident in our day to day lives when racial smirks are passed on to an individual or group of another ethnic group. Any incorrect framing of speech or statement on the issue often creates discussions.
Ethnic division and racial discrimination in Fiji lies on the will of our national leaders and government to address it. It will be always an issue if leaders are not genuine in addressing racial discrimination. Worse still, if leaders come up with reforms and policies under the façade of equality without consulting those that will be affected than racism will always emerge. Far too long, the issue of racism has been centred on I-Taukei and the Fijians of Indian descendants. Other minority groups such as those of Solomon descendants, Chinese descendants, Banabanas, and others are left out along with their needs and issues. It is therefore critical that when we talk about elimination of racial discrimination and promoting equality, we have to ensure that the Rights of the Indigenous people and the Rights of the Minority Groups have recognition.
As Secretariat of the ICERD Working Group, CCF at this juncture is formulating the Shadow Report on the International Conventional on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). We are urging the Government to expedite its submission of the State Report to the CERD Committee in Geneva. Our failure to do so is an indication of our weak commitment to address racism at home.
Our failure to genuinely address racism in Fiji will allow the reoccurrence of issues such as bullying in schools and the workplace, economic deprivation, poverty, hatred towards another ethnic group, and socio-political and economic instability for generations to come. It is a problem that Fiji needs to address as a nation, starting from the homes of every citizen to the national level debates and forums.

How to reach Customer Care for Aakash tablet?
In previous blog, we highlighted some common problems faced by Aakash tablet buyers which got huge response. People shared their problems like unavailability of customer care centers and unresponsive toll free numbers for queries and we tried to help them out in the best possible manner.
We’re in touch with some Aakash tablet insiders to give you under the hood information.
Aakash tablets are sponsored by (Human Resource Development) HRD ministry of Indian Government. You can use your ‘Right to Information’ power to write and ask them why there is no established of proper customer care service for the tablet users. This is not all, you should also ask for the the reason why Government sponsored the product when proper measures are not in place to quench the consumer problems and there are more then enough questions on the credibility of the manufacturers.
Toll-free numbers and customer care numbers on the tablet manual are usually not reachable. If reached, they are often busy, and if somehow, luckily, one connects then the response isn’t satisfactory. Consumers go bizarre calling them again and again only to see their effort go in vain, no one is there to listen their problems.
Don’t spend a second to go the harder way if you’re not getting any response from the Aakash customer care officials.
And why not, if you’re paying Rs 3000 to purchase an Aakash tablet then being a consumer you have every right to file complaint against the poor service. Like every company, the tablet manufacturer promises you to provide proper after-sale service, but if it doesn’t, then you can deal with it in any manner you want, soft or the harder way.
I’ve pin-point details on the tablet availability and distribution, but even then I couldn’t find a single location of Aakash customer care center and ‘ve never seen a single comment applauding the work of customer care officials, or thanking the manufacturer for replacing a problematic tablet. It’s mostly a sorry tale of people spanking the tablet and its manufacturer.
Buying a tablet below 3k can be seductive to many but it’s unworthy if the tablet dies in a day or two, or a week. Proper consumer support needs to be there in place.
One can figure out the actual number of problems when yourRavi received more than 200 complaints in its comments and consumer forums. Only a small share of tablets has been distributed till date, and out of them we have more than 200 complaints which is surely the correct way to proceed if its tagged as ‘students tablet’.
If you’re facing the same, reach us via our Facebook page as we give you the ways to deal with poor customer care service in soft as well as the harder way.
